Chapter 4: Imprisonment (4)

When Concubine Zhao opened her eyes, she found herself on a clean soft bed, she was shocked, and saw that her clothes were still well worn on her body, and she hurriedly turned up the sleeve of her left hand, and a palace guard sand on the white lotus-like jade arm was impressive, and she was relieved. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info jumped out of bed and put on his shoes. I heard the chirping of chickens outside, and when I got out of the house, I found myself in a farmhouse in the countryside.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and she took a breath of air and felt refreshed. There was some pain in his forehead, and he reached out to touch it, but the wound had been wrapped in gauze, and he felt some pain through the gauze, and he thought, "I don't know who saved me?" ”

Suddenly, a person behind him said, "Old man, this girl has woken up, come and take a look." Concubine Zhao turned her head to see that it was an old woman over seventy years old, and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is this? Did you rescue me?" The mother-in-law said: "Ah, you child! The old man came out of the back room and said, "This is not far from the Slender West Lake." Girl, hurry up and eat something. ”

Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "I can't eat it, thank you mother-in-law and grandfather for saving me." The old man said, "The two of us pushed the cart to pull you back, and there is a horse beside you, ah, I can't pull it, the horse doesn't follow, I can only let it go, this beast is very stubborn." Concubine Zhao saw that although he was old, his body was strong, and she thought that there was a lot of farm work in the countryside, and this grandfather must have done farm work all his life, so she couldn't help but revere him. Said: "I'm going, I'll visit again tomorrow." The mother-in-law said, "You...... Are you leaving?" Concubine Zhao said: "Yes, the place where I live is not very far from here, and I can get there at noon." The mother-in-law said, "All right." The old man suddenly pointed to the entrance and blew a whistle, which startled Concubine Zhao, and the old woman was also startled, and said angrily: "Old man, what are you doing?"

The old man walked out, muttering as he went: "Da Hei ran away again, right? This beast is always stealing food outside, and it's ......strange if I don't castrate it after I catch it" When Concubine Zhao heard this, she suddenly thought of Liu Changqing, and her feelings of grievance and anger suddenly appeared. I thought: "After a few years together, I never expected him to be such a person, even the master and the master have lost his eyes, alas, he is exaggerated on weekdays, so it is expected, I will listen to him, I am really blind......" Walking out of the door, walking south, I suddenly found that my clothes were dirty, thinking that I fell in the mud at night, and thought: "The old couple saw that I was a woman, and it was inconvenient to take off my clothes, and I soiled their bed, so I really didn't want to go......"

Before he had gone far, he suddenly heard someone arguing, just like from the old couple's yard just now, and he wondered in his heart: "The two of you quarreled? Doubting whether to go back, the quarrel became louder and louder, and it was definitely not two people arguing, so he hurriedly turned around and went back. Approaching the courtyard, I found five young villagers, holding hoes, sickles, flat burdens, etc., scolding the old couple: "You still say? You still say, you still say, you go to my vegetable garden to see, I don't look at your dog all day, and the rapeseed I sowed has all been dug out...... Several people were aggressive, as if there was something big, she said in her heart: "It turned out that Da Hei ran to someone else's house to destroy the vegetable garden." The village lives on the land, and the crops are life, so it's no wonder they are angry. The old couple wept and wiped their tears and said, "I...... Later...... In the future, I will be optimistic about Dahei, and I dare not let it run around. The five of them were still screaming.

Concubine Zhao said in her heart: "Why did I forget? I brought a silver tael, which was to buy a horse for my sister." He took out five taels of silver, and was about to distribute them to the people, when suddenly a man came in from outside and shouted, "Grandma, grandpa......! What's the matter? Second Uncle Wang, Uncle Lu, you ...... What are you doing?" Concubine Zhao looked at it, and saw that this young man was tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, delicate facial features, and he was not dressed like a young man in the countryside, so she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and the person walked past her, she smelled a fragrant breath, and trembled.

The man glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?" Before Concubine Zhao could answer, the man walked straight to the mother-in-law and said, "Grandma, why are you crying? Who bullied you, is it Uncle Lu?" The five people were so embarrassed when they saw him come back, and one of them said, "You...... Your grandmother's house ran into our yard in the dark, and pee in the well, and destroyed our vegetable garden. The man said: "So you're going to beat someone, aren't you?" After speaking, she raised her eyebrows and stared at everyone, Concubine Zhao said in her heart: "It's this person's grandson, it's really rare to have such a beautiful man in the countryside." ”

The beautiful man said angrily: "Second Uncle Wang, during the Chinese New Year last year, your family entered the thief, who chased after the thief desperately?" The second uncle Wang bowed his head and said silently, and he said: "Uncle Lu, your son had a fever in the middle of the night, who invited Lang Zhong for you, cured your son, and you came to beat my grandparents today? Uncle Zheng Liu, ...... that year" Before the words were finished, Uncle Zheng Liu suddenly slapped himself twice and said, "I ...... I'm anxious and impulsive today, forgive me, it's our fault. The beautiful man said, "Hmph, are you bullying me at home? Ashamed, they departed.

As soon as this person came back, he scolded everyone in an instant, and Concubine Zhao said in her heart: "This person is so sharp, but he is also a good person, these countrymen are really ignorant, people are kind to him, and after a long time, he forgot about it, and he came to make trouble at this time." ”

The beautiful man suddenly asked, "Who are you?" Concubine Zhao lowered her head and said, "I...... I ......" said the mother-in-law, "this little girl fell off her horse last night, and your grandfather and I rescued her." The man nodded and said, "Well, there are many rocks in the countryside, and horses are prone to stumbles." I wonder where the girl's house is?"

This person was suddenly polite, very different from the previous Hengmei Bingshuang, and said, "I live outside this Yangzhou City." The man said: "The girl is polite, how do you call it if you don't know it?" Concubine Zhao said: "My name is Concubine Zhao, the concubine of the imperial concubine, what about you?"

The beautiful man said: "My name is Liang Zhao, and I am ...... in Yangzhou Mansion."

Concubine Zhao was suddenly startled and said, "You...... Are you Liang Zhao?" Liang Zhao wondered: "Exactly, you ...... Do you recognize me?" Concubine Zhao said, "A few days ago, you saved the lives of a couple of men and women outside the city?"

Liang Zhao said: "Yes...... How do you know there's such a thing?"

Concubine Zhao said: "The person you saved is my own sister!" Liang Zhao said: "That...... That's a coincidence, I was on an errand in the house, learning some kung fu from everyone, and fiddling around, which can be seen and laughed. I remember...... Remember her...... Your sister's name seems to be Zhao Rou. Concubine Zhao said: "Exactly, your grandfather saved my life again today, really...... Seriously......"

Liang Zhao said: "Haha, people in the rivers and lakes, it is still incumbent on me to save people's lives, not to mention that I am an official messenger?" Concubine Zhao said: "Thank you, son, I have heard my sister mention you every day." ”

Liang Zhao waved his hand and said, "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about your teeth." ”

Concubine Zhao said: "Another day...... Some other day...... I will come to thank you. Liang Zhao said: "Are you leaving?" Concubine Zhao said: "Yes." Thinking of his clothes covered in mud, he was ashamed and hid his face. Liang Zhao caught up and said, "You are injured and it is inconvenient to walk, so take the white horse at the door." ”

Concubine Zhao said: "That...... How can that work?" Liang Zhao said: "It's okay, then **** heard your sister say, you are from the Golden Sect?" Concubine Zhao said: "Exactly, I am ranked sixth." Liang Zhao said: "If I have time another day, I will ask for a horse in the house!" Concubine Zhao nodded and said, "I'm tired." "Turn over and get on the horse, and go away.

When she arrived at the sect, it was almost noon, Zhao Rou was looking forward to it at the door, saw her sister riding a white horse, and beckoned: "Sister, sister!" Concubine Zhao saw her sister, dismounted and asked, "Master and sister are not to blame, right?" Zhao Rou said: "No, I told them, you went out early in the morning to find the second senior brother." Hey. Why are you so dirty?Ahhh

Concubine Zhao went back to the room to change her clothes, and when she went to the master's hall, after seeing the master, she couldn't help but shed tears, and the master asked, "Concubine, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Zhao said: "Qing...... Green...... Second Senior Brother, he ......" Jin Da hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? I didn't find it?" Concubine Zhao cried out with a "wow", Jin Dadao: "Don't cry, don't cry, say it slowly." ”

Concubine Zhao came to the events of last night one by one, Jin Da was already full of anger, and said: "This sect has a total of ten major precepts, which have been set when the sect was opened, and the second one is 'precept **** lustful', I brought it up single-handedly, Qing'er is like this?"

Concubine Zhao said: "What I see is true, there is no doubt that it is the second senior brother." Jin Daodao: "Where is this beast now?" Concubine Zhao said: "I...... I do not know...... I left later. Jin Dadao: "Hmph! It's good to die outside!" Sun Xueniang heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter?" Jin Da relayed it, Sun Xueniang pondered for a long time, and said: "Qing'er was brought up by you and me, if he really commits such a crime, he should be punished according to the precepts, but ...... I don't think Qing'er is this kind of person, it must be ...... It must be ......" Jin Dao: "You still intercede for him? You still intercede for him? He must be a good wine and greedy cup, and he will do a sin!" Sun Xueniang said: "I will go to find him, and after bringing him back, everything will be analyzed and understood, and it will be conclusive." ”

Jin said angrily: "You...... Are you still looking for him? He still has the face to come back? When he suffers, I will definitely come back...... Must ......" slammed the palm on the wooden chair and smashed the armrest of the wooden chair.

Sun Xueniang said to Concubine Zhao: "You go down to rest first." ”

Jin Da was still angry, Sun Xueniang said: "Let me ask you, if this matter is undoubted, what do you want to do?" Jin Dadao: "What should I do? Abolish martial arts and expel him from the division!" Sun Xueniang said: "I don't think this is appropriate, after all, ...... After all...... Qing'er was brought up by you and me, and besides, he is ...... He is ......" Jin Dao: "I worked hard to bring him up, but I didn't want him to **** women! Such a criminal, it is better to have nothing!" Sun Xueniang said: "After all, the situation is unknown now, and it is not too late to wait for him to come back." Maybe it's something wrong, even if it's true...... If he really committed this, he could not be expelled from the school. Jin Da sighed and said, "You are still guilty of his parents, yes, I am sorry for them." But is Changqing like this, will his parents want to see it?"

The two discerned, but there was no conclusion, and they had to wait for him to come back.

Concubine Zhao returned to the house, didn't go to dinner, and thought about the scene last night, tears poured out like a tide, and she couldn't wait to die headlong. Zhao Rou ran in, saw her sister crying, and asked, "Sister, what's going on?" Concubine Zhao just didn't answer, and Zhao Rou comforted her. Concubine Zhao told the events of last night again intermittently, Zhao Rou was dumbfounded when she heard it, kept shaking her head, and said, "No, you must have recognized the wrong person!" Concubine Zhao lay on the bed and cried loudly. Zhao Rou paced back and forth in the room, and kept saying, "Sister, it's dark at night, you must be wrong." Concubine Zhao said: "I read it wrong? Why does that person speak in the same voice? Brother Qing stayed...... The note he left for me, how could it be his handwriting?How could I remember the scars on his body?" Zhao Rou frowned, and said to herself: "Is this really the case......? It's not human...... No, it won't...... When I see him, I'll ask for clarification. ”

Liu Changqing did not return to the faction for several days, and on the evening of the fifth day, Jin Da called everyone to practice swordsmanship in front of the hall, looked at a bright moon hanging in the distance, and said to everyone: "I have long said that there is a big matter related to everyone on September 19 of this month, and I want everyone to practice hard. Alas...... I don't want so many accidents to happen in the faction. ”

The crowd asked, "What's the big deal?"

Jin Da said slowly: "That time, the Shen Fang Sword of Yanshan Villa and the master of Shen Zhuang had a good swordsmanship, and he had several encounters with me. The crowd said: "Master Shen Zhuang? Jin Daodao: "Exactly, but you don't have to envy, any martial arts in the world has its own uniqueness, some seemingly inconspicuous kung fu, in the eyes of the master, it also makes it majestic and terrifying." The crowd said, "Exactly!"

Jin Dadao: "Time flies, and we are all going to grow old." The **** drank and chatted with the master of Shen Zhuang, and said that he would teach the head of the house...... "Everyone said oh again, and they all thought: "It turns out that the master asked us to practice swords, and he wanted to choose the next head." He said that the head of the sect must let the people in the faction compare swords with each other, whoever has good swordsmanship, that is the head, of course, those who practice martial arts have martial virtues, that is the foundation, except for Qing'er, all the martial arts are generally balanced, do not violate the precepts of the faction, that is. I originally had this intention, but Master Shen Zhuang suddenly said: "My own people and my own people fight, that is on weekdays, even familiar, one move and one style, are dismantled thousands of times, self-contained routines, when the real sword competition, may be accustomed to the original sword practice method, then it is impossible to say who is higher and who is low." As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was very reasonable, and the two of us hit it off, and when we chose the matter of the head of the sect, I let the disciples of both sides compete with each other's sects, and it was clear which was higher and which was lower.

"In this way, one can examine your kung fu level, the other is to examine your adaptability, the thirteen swords of Huiyan, none of you have ever seen it, and the third one, Huiyan Villa and my Jinmen sect are both Yangzhou sects, close to each other, and it is always good. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt both excited and nervous, and the senior sister Yin Miaomiao said: "This method is good, then it can be regarded as a real battle to meet the enemy, otherwise competing with the junior brothers and sisters will always feel like practicing a sword, making moves and dismantling moves, everyone is too familiar." ”

Jin Daodao: "Exactly, but ...... But...... The affairs of the faction have been busy recently, and I have sent someone to send a letter to the lord of Shen Zhuang, saying that after dealing with the affairs of the faction, on the first day of March next year, I will send everyone to visit Huiyan Villa together. ”

Everyone said in their hearts: "This sword comparison is not only a sword competition, it is also related to the face of this faction, if everyone in the faction can't even beat the opposite person, it will really be a shame." "This time, everyone wants to practice swordsmanship diligently in the future, and they can't slack off at all.

Everyone waited for nearly two months, but Liu Changqing did not return to the faction, not even a message. Master Jin Da expected that he would not have the face to come back, so he sent people to inquire around. This day was the fifth day of the first month of November, Chu Bokang ran over in a panic and said: "I inquired from acquaintances, the second senior brother seems to be imprisoned in Yangzhou Mansion, I don't know if it's true or not. Sun Xueniang said: "Since I was arrested by the government, why haven't we seen the Wen Critic?" We don't know at all?" Chu Bokang said: "I don't know, I also heard about it." ”

Concubine Zhao said: "I know a person, in the yamen, just ask about it." ”

Concubine Zhao rode on the white horse given by Liang Zhao that day, bid farewell to her master and mother, and ran towards the yamen. When I arrived at the door of the yamen, I was distraught. Think, "This has to be faced." Then he put away his worries and asked the yamen guard: "May I ask if there is a person named Liang Zhao in the house?" The doorkeeper was in a good attitude and said, "Yes, yes! I'll call for it." ”

After a while, Liang Zhao came out of the yamen, saw Concubine Zhao, and said, "Miss Zhao is good." Concubine Zhao returned the salute and said, "I'll return your horses today." Liang Zhao said: "Miss Lao is worried." ”

The two of them shushed and asked for warmth, and Concubine Zhao said, "I'll ask you about someone." Liang Zhao asked, "What person?" Concubine Zhao said: "That person's name is Liu Changqing, he is a disciple of my Golden Sect, and he has not been heard from in the past two months, some people say that he is in the dungeon, but is there any?"

Liang Zhaoyi frowned and said, "Dungeon, why did you go to the dungeon?" Concubine Zhao said: "Can you help me find out the news?" Liang Zhao pondered for a long time and said, "You are here for a while, I will ask Geng Cell." ”

After a while, Liang Zhao came out and said, "There is one person who is Liu Changqing of your Golden Sect, I have seen him." Concubine Zhao said gloomily: "When did he come in, and how long will he be detained?" Liang Zhao said: "He was detained on the morning of the 10th day of the first month of September, and he said that he had committed a crime...... Guilty ...... Originally, the sin law was to be punished with a cane, but later it was said that it would be closed for two years. Concubine Zhao said in her heart: "On the tenth day of the ninth month, that is, the second day of the Double Ninth Festival, it was sent here. ”

Liang Zhao asked, "Do you want to save him?" Concubine Zhao said, "I'...... I...... I don't know, it's better to rescue it, you can help me up and down, I'll go back and ask my master for some silver taels. Liang Zhao groaned: "The matter of Yinliang is not bothered, but why doesn't this Liu brother learn well, he ...... He****...... Women, the women of the two families hanged themselves in a few days, and this time it was very tricky. ”

Concubine Zhao exclaimed in surprise, then gritted her teeth again, and said, "I sent this out of the middle, it really smeared the master's face." ”

Liang Zhao said: "Since ancient times, there have been no bandits in that place, there are good people everywhere, and there are bad people everywhere, and the girl doesn't have to blame herself." Concubine Zhao returned the horse to him and said, "I'll go first, and when I go back, I'll ask the master how to deal with it, and then come to visit." Liang Zhao stopped her and said with a smile: "You return my horse, and I'm going to walk back again, so you better ride first." Concubine Zhao smiled and rode back again.

When he arrived at the Depai, he told the master and his mother that Master Jin Dadao: "That's his own fault, and it's okay to be locked up for two years." Concubine Zhao hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid it's ......" Jin Daodao: "Otherwise, what can I do? Do you want me to redeem him?" Sun Xueniang said: "Have you asked your friend, is it possible to visit?" Concubine Zhao said: "I...... I didn't ask. ”

Sun Xueniang said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to the yamen." ”

Speechless that day, Concubine Zhao lay on the bed at night, tossing and turning, thinking of Liu Changqing, he really loved him to the extreme, and hated him to the bone, he did such a thing as a pig and a dog, and the two no longer had any oath agreement at all, but they were unwilling, just hoping that it was a misunderstanding. Thinking of seeing him again tomorrow, my heart was still pounding and pounding, until I lay down on the bed, and I didn't even close my eyes.

Suddenly heard someone calling herself at the window, her voice was very thin, she sat up suddenly, and asked, "Who is it?" A person outside the window said: "It's me, Liang Zhao!" Concubine Zhao was shocked, hurriedly put on her clothes, and opened the window, it was Liang Zhao. Asked, "You...... What's wrong with you?" Liang Zhao clutched his chest and said, "Convenient...... Convenient...... Do you want to go into the house?"

In the middle of the night, a man actually wanted to enter his boudoir, although Concubine Zhao was a person who practiced martial arts, she also felt quite inconvenient, and said, "Brother Liang, is there anything wrong?" Liang Zhao snorted a few times in a low voice, and said, "That...... That Liu Changqing ran away......"

Hearing this, Concubine Zhao couldn't care about anything anymore, the window was very low, and with a hand, she helped him in and leaned on the chair, Liang Zhao's face was pale, and said, "I...... I'm here to report to you......" Concubine Zhao asked, "Where are you injured, it's not too late to bandage it first." Liang Zhao said: "No...... If you don't get in the way, you can't die!"

Concubine Zhao was puzzled: "What's going on?"

Liang Zhao said: "Give me a cup of tea to drink...... Concubine Zhao hurriedly poured a cup and handed it to him, Liang Zhao picked up the teacup and smelled it, took a sip, and said: "This evening, I asked Geng Jiaotou to drink and ask questions outside, and after chatting, I said: 'I'll go and see that Liu Changqing, I have a friend who is looking for him. 'Miss Zhao, my friend is you. Geng said, 'Okay, I'll go with you when there are fewer people, but let's not stay too long.' So we went to the dungeon later, and our Yangzhou dungeon is not big, but there are several curved alleys. I went in and asked Liu Changqing, 'Are you Liu Changqing from the Golden Sect?' and he said yes. I said, 'We've had a relationship. He came to see me and said, 'That's right, you're Liang Zhao, who saved me.' I said, 'Your junior sister Concubine Zhao asked me to find you.' He suddenly lowered his head and said, 'I...... I can't live with him, and I don't want to see her in this life. 'Senior Sister Zhao, I look at his expression, it seems that you ...... You are ......"

Concubine Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, exactly." But that's a thing of the past. Liang Zhao said: "That...... That's good...... I think how can such a **** villain be worthy...... ......Worthy of you? Later, I said, 'This cell leader's surname is Geng, and he knows me well, so I will send you some money back to the Jinmen sect in the next few days.' The head of the prison said, 'We'll go!' I don't know which sentence provoked him, he ...... He dragged me over, and out of nowhere, a short knife was put against my neck, and he shouted to Geng Cell, 'Take the key and open the door!' Seeing this, Geng Boss was afraid that he would hurt me, so he hurried over to open the door, and he was still ...... And keep urging. Put a knife to my neck until you get out of the dungeon door and slash at my neck......"

Concubine Zhao shouted "ah", Liang Zhao smiled, and said: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and at this critical moment, I hurriedly leaned back, and squatted down, but my chest was deeply scratched. ”

Concubine Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Since you promised to save him...... He...... How could he...... Will you do that?"

Liang Zhao raised his head, the blood stains on his neck were clearly visible, and he covered his chest with his hand and said: "Fortunately, I didn't hit the key point, I think he knew that my kung fu was higher than him, and he was afraid that I would chase after him, so he wanted to harm me." He took another sip of tea and said, "This person's behavior is unbelievable, really...... It's hard to fathom. I'm afraid...... Afraid that he would hurt you, I hurried over to report the news...... Miss Zhao, it's good that you're okay. ”

Concubine Zhao's heart was surging and said, "I'...... I'm fine. Liang Zhao said: "That...... Then I'll go first. "When I got up, the teacup accidentally dropped to the ground, and it looked particularly harsh in the middle of the night. Liang Zhao shouted, "Ahh Concubine Zhao said: "Whisper! You go, don't thank you, there will be a period later." Liang Zhao nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Concubine Zhao was in the same room with a man late at night at this time, which was very indecent, and asked nervously, "Who is it?" The man outside the door said: "Sixth sister, it's me!" Steward Li. ”

Concubine Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so late, what's the matter?" Li Er said: "I heard movement outside the door just now, don't someone come in again, are you okay?" Concubine Zhao said: "It's okay, I'm fine." Li Er said: "That's good, Master Jin said, there were thieves at home some time ago, and we must take strict precautions in the future, I have nothing to do tonight, and I will guard the yard for you." ”

Concubine Zhao said anxiously: "No, ......" just said a word, but she couldn't find a reason for him not to stay in the hospital, so she choked back. Li Er said: "If the thief comes again tonight, see if I don't beat him to death with a stick......" gradually drifted away, and his voice gradually became quieter.

Liang Zhao was anxious, and asked on his face, "Is this ...... What should I do......" Concubine Zhao was also anxious, and said, "You will fly over from the wall with light power later." Liang Zhao said: "Okay, I just don't know if Steward Li can see it, if he sees it yelling and wakes up your master, then ...... Then I'm a flower thief......" Concubine Zhao smiled inadvertently and said, "Don't care, you have to leave quickly." Liang Zhao said: "Okay, I'm guarding the window, and if he's not there, I'll jump off the courtyard wall immediately." ”

That Li Er's steps were so fast, he turned around the courtyard several times in succession, and the two stared out the window, he kept walking back and forth. Concubine Zhao said anxiously: "Steward Li, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night, my head is dizzy from the noise of your footsteps." Li Er said: "Then I'll be lighter." Concubine Zhao said: "You go back to sleep, the thief only dares to come when no one is around, but he doesn't dare at this time." Li Er said: "Okay, it seems that there is nothing to do tonight, then I will go back and drink some wine and sleep." ”

Concubine Zhao Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Liang Zhao looking directly at herself. Concubine Zhao jumped up and said, "You...... What are you doing?"

Liang Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhao, you are so good-looking." Concubine Zhao was speechless in shame, lowered her head and walked to the side, and when she came back to her senses, Liang Zhao had already turned over and was no longer visible. Concubine Zhao thought about it for a while, and suddenly saw a small puppet on the table, which was made for him by Liu Changqing during the Chinese New Year last year, playing back and forth in the palm of her hand, thinking a lot, and leaving tears.

After breakfast the next morning, Master Jin Da and Master Sun Xueniang took Concubine Zhao to the Yamen to inquire about the news, Concubine Zhao knew that Liu Changqing had escaped from prison, but she didn't know how to mention the matter, thinking: "It's good to go and investigate." The three of them fell to the yamen and made a report. One of the jailers came out and shouted, "The prisoner has escaped last night and wounded two people, if you know his news, come to the yamen immediately and report it." If you harbor criminals, you will be punished together!"

Jin Da and Sun Xueniang were only dumbfounded and speechless. Helpless, he returned to the pie. Sun Xueniang thought about this matter carefully and said suspiciously: "We haven't seen Qing'er from beginning to end, and we always feel that things are a little strange. Jin said angrily: "He has done so many bad things, I'm afraid he will go away." What's so strange? It's hard to draw a tiger and a bone, didn't the concubine see him that day!" Sun Xueniang was silent. Liang Jiu suddenly remembered something, panicked, and asked, "Could it be ...... Could it be ...... Qing'er was subjected to that 'soul detention technique'?" Concubine Zhao's eyes widened and asked, "What is the soul detention technique?" Sun Xueniang said: "This soul detention technique, your master and I have only heard of it, and we have never seen anyone use it, nor have we heard of anyone being persecuted by it, but according to legend, soul detention is a technique that induces people's hearts, which can make people's minds unclear, obey the words and orders of the spellcaster, and some people say that the soul detention technique is a medicinal herb discovered by a famous doctor, and tea is added, and whoever drinks it will not be at his mercy." Since it is circulated, it is better to believe that it exists. ”

Jin Daodao: "I once heard a senior master say that the soul restraint technique may be real, but the soul restraint technique needs to be half asleep in order to be effective, otherwise it will be ineffective." Even if it is a medicinal herb, no one will drink the tea handed over by someone who does not know. Changqing, this kid went out to look for us in the middle of the night, first, he got off the horse, and secondly, no one was around, how could he be subjected to this soul detention spell?" Sun Xueniang said: "The thief knocked Qing'er unconscious, or forcibly poured him with potions, it is unknown. Jin Dadao: "You speak for him like this, is it true that what the concubine saw that night is fake? What the people from the yamen said is also false?" Sun Xueniang said: "I didn't say it was fake, I just guessed." Then he asked, "Who were the people who arrested your second senior brother that night?" Concubine Zhao said: "I didn't care at all, and I didn't listen to their words." Sun Xueniang said: "This is difficult." ”

Concubine Zhao said: "The second senior brother suddenly changed into a person, it is really difficult to understand, but everything is true, and it is irrefutable." Master Jin Da and Sun Xueniang both sighed and complained.

On this day, Concubine Zhao didn't want to eat, her head was dizzy, she had a dream in her sleep at night, she dreamed that Liu Changqing came to find herself, they were still as good as before, together for the head bodyguard of the Zhenhai Dart Bureau Hu Zong, to get to a place, suddenly a few masked men rushed to her, Concubine Zhao was shocked, at this time a person fell from the sky, three times five divided by two to hit the gang of bandits, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to see the person, but always couldn't see the face, after a while, the person actually pounced on herself, Liu Changqing shouted: 'Sister, be careful!' , I hurriedly ran out, how did I know that there was a cliff next to me, bottomless, the person had a hideous face, stretched out his hand to grab her, Concubine Zhao had no other way, jumped ...... He shouted, "Brother Qing, save me!" His legs kicked suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Nan Ke who was dreaming, and his thoughts fluctuated, thinking: "Is he really confused by that soul arrest technique?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes widened in the dark night, and she heard the sound of insects chirping outside the window one after another, and she couldn't sleep for a long time, and two lines of tears slipped down and fell into the green silk bushes.
