Lianshan Midnight Green

After walking for several days, I arrived at Dongru City.This place is hundreds of miles northeast of Pingyang, which can be regarded as the hinterland of the Central Plains.Fu Lang also found that although the customs of Qi State were interesting, the closer one was to Pingyang, the more strict the rules would be.When we arrived at Dongru, the scene in the city was already clean, and the city guards were heavily guarded. Although the city gates were open, there were guards guarding them. If they encountered suspicious people, they would definitely be arrested and interrogated.On the official road, we could only see weeping willows sprouting green buds, but there was no bustle and bustle with people like Shen Qiu who was in business.Fu Lang only felt that it was boring. He was drowsy in the car during the day, but he was in good spirits when he arrived at the post at night. Mei Xin, got up from the desk, opened the door and called Xiao Er: "Please open the fire in the back kitchen and get some side dishes for this girl."

Xiaoer said: "We have a lot of kinds of side dishes here, I wonder what the girl wants?"

Pei Se looked at Fu Lang, "Please Miss Fu go and see for yourself, what do you want."

Fu Lang couldn't wait, he raised his legs and left, followed Xiaoer to the back kitchen, lost interest again, ordered a few things at random, and ran to the door of the post house to breathe.

She looked relaxed these days, but she was actually very nervous. She was always afraid of being chased and killed, and also afraid of being exposed, which made Pei Se wary of herself.Sitting on the threshold with her legs stretched out, she was blown by the cool wind for a while, thinking of how many times Pei Se had used documents to prove her identity all the way in and out of the city these days. Keep it secret.Then let me know a little bit about it, and it shouldn't matter if I save this life, and I will wait until Pingyang to make plans for the rest.No longer thinking about it, he blew the bone whistle, summoned Xinniao, and sent out Pei Se's whereabouts.

Back upstairs, Fu Lang was about to go back to his room, but he saw Chiyu coming over to say hello: "Miss Fu, my master invites you to go to the room and have some supper together."

Only then did Fu Lang realize that the back kitchen was moving very fast, and had already delivered several dishes of side dishes in a short while, probably seeing that there was no one in her room, so he sent them to Pei Se's room next door.

As usual, Pei Se's table was piled up with piles of books and chapters, and she was looking at ten lines with her head buried. When she heard her come in, she didn't lift her head: "Miss Fu, don't eat the food, let it cool down and eat it, and tomorrow I will say that I don't feel well. She pointed to the charcoal stove, "Warm it there, eat it quickly. Where did you go?"

Fu Lang walked over, sat down cross-legged, squeezed one of the warm dim sum in his hand, and took a small bite, "I'm just going outside to get some air."

Only then did Pei Se raise her head and looked at her for a while.Pei Se has always been gentle with her mouth, and she has a dignified appearance without speaking. Fu Lang felt trembling, "My lord, look at what I am doing. Have you ever seen such a beautiful girl? How about it? Isn't beauty like a fairy in a painting?" ?”

Pei Se laughed softly, and then said again: "Miss Fu, be careful. This place is no worse than Yanling Shenqiu, and the curfew is strict. If you run out at night and get caught, what will you do then?" Pei Se said that It's not a joke, Dongru's law and order is one of the best in the whole country, probably because it is the current queen's fiefdom.

When Pei Se thought of the queen, his mind was a little distracted, and his expression darkened.Pei Se is the eldest daughter of King Qi, but the current queen is not Pei Se's biological mother, but her mother's concubine sister, who only married into the Qi Palace after her mother passed away.This queen came from a poor background, so she was very afraid of causing trouble, so Dongru City was strictly controlled all year round, and if there was a curfew, even a mouse would not dare to run around.

She was so dazed that she heard the faint flickering of candle sparks in her ears, and it was Fu Lang who was walking over with a snack in small steps.She looked funny, Pei Se couldn't help frowning, "Miss Fu, what's the matter?"

Fu Lang put two plates of dim sum in front of her, and said in a soft voice: "The fairy in this painting is afraid that the dim sum will be spilled, this is a fairy product, please use it slowly, my lord."

Pei Se couldn't help laughing, because the displeasure raised at the thought of the queen dissipated immediately, and turned into a bright and happy figure in front of her eyes.

During the long night, Fu Lang lay at the table, nibbling on snacks, while watching Pei Se bow his head to review the memorial.Probably tired from the journey, Pei Se's face was much thinner than when he first saw it, showing a soft jaw, with a clear outline winding from the chin to the earlobe.There is no piercing on the earlobe, and it is a little bit pressed by the black hair. Under the candlelight, it only feels as white as jade.

Fu Lang was a little drowsy, he raised a hand in a daze, and touched the small earlobe.The earlobe is thin and cool, really like a piece of jade.Thinking of this, she was sleepy after all, and closed her eyes slightly.She only felt that Pei Se raised her left hand and took it off her ear. Instead of letting go, she held it lightly and covered it.I wrote a few more words with my right hand, closed the memorial and put it aside, and took another copy.

Fu Lang only muttered in his heart: "Why is she so busy?" Then he thought: "Tomorrow I really want to ask her what kind of incense she smoked, it smells so good." The hand held by her was numb, The touch went all the way to the scalp, and there was a strange comfort. Fu Lang closed his eyes and fell into a shallow sleep.

Everything was silent, and the candles in the room were flickering. Fu Lang didn't sleep peacefully. He only felt that there was a trace of uneasiness flowing in the air, and he frowned in his sleep.Someone pinched her wrist, and she immediately woke up, seeing Pei Se at the table raised a finger, making a gesture to her to silence her.Fu Lang's heart twitched, and before he had time to feel guilty, the tension had already overflowed his chest.I saw Pei Se grabbing her wrist with one hand and beckoning her to hide under the window, and slowly drew out the sword with the other hand, drawing an arc with his arm, with the silver light flashing, he looked like a young lion.

Fu Lang made no sound, stood short behind her, clenched his teeth tightly, afraid of a tremor.Pei Se listened attentively to the movement outside the door. The muffled sounds of bodies falling to the ground were barely audible, and she could only hear it vaguely through the slight tremor of the floor.She knew in her heart that the other party must have dealt with the guards at the door first, and then came in, and tensed her body.

There was a crisp sound on the door, the latch was easily slid off by the thin sword blade drawn from the outside, the crack of the door was kicked lightly, and the two doors opened to the inside. Several men in black could see clearly that the room was Pei Se stood in front of the table and was about to rush in immediately.

At that moment, Fu Lang couldn't see clearly what Pei Se was doing, but saw a flash of sword light. Wherever the sword edge went, several lamps and candles were lightly pressed out with a "pop", and the room was suddenly pitch black.The footsteps of several assassins were chaotic but orderly, and they walked towards Pei Se's direction step by step.A clear sound of flesh and blood being torn into pieces came to his ears. Fu Lang squatted under the window, his shoulders trembled, and he raised his hand to cover his lips.Immediately afterwards there was another sound, and an assassin couldn't help shouting out in pain, Fu Lang heaved a sigh of relief: It's not Pei Se, it's fine if it's not Pei Se.

The floor was trampled by chaotic footsteps, and there were occasional sounds of bodies colliding and falling to the ground.Someone took a few steps back and was standing in front of Fu Lang.He probably took out the flint, and with a stabbing sound, Fu Lang saw at a glance that there were three assassins left in the room besides him.As soon as the assassins got the light, they saw Fu Lang squatting in the corner first, and each of them took a step forward and was about to come over.Fu Lang was frightened to the extreme, so he simply stood up and stood up, but the assassin saw that she had no fear, but his footsteps stopped.

Seeing a flash of fire, Pei Se appeared out of nowhere, and the blade of the sword slashed across the man's chest at a strange angle like a ghost.At the same time, Fu Lang picked up the cold tea at the table and threw it at the assassin holding the flint.The assassin was looking at Pei Se's sword in surprise, never expecting that such a person would appear behind him and throw out the light in his hand.Fu Lang didn't do anything, he picked out the charcoal basin from under the table with his toes, and shouted: "Pei Se!"

The room returned to darkness, but luckily Pei Se was prepared and dodged to the right. The hot charcoal in the brazier hit the leading assassin with a splash, and even the copper basin hit the face. He cried out, but was kicked down by Pei Se from behind.Fu Lang had nothing near him, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. He remembered that there was a dagger on the table, and groped to find it on the desk.There was a warm gasp in his ear, but it was not Pei Se's voice, Fu Lang couldn't help but stand on end.There was only a scream in his ear, probably the assassin was stabbed by Pei Se.

At the same time, there was another low, muffled hum, with an extremely restrained voice. It was Pei Se's voice.

A man's voice sounded: "Quick, kill her!"

Fu Lang suddenly screamed: "Pei Se! Where are you?"

Pei Se didn't respond, and there was another fight in the darkness.

Suddenly a flash of fire flashed in through the window lattice, the life downstairs was noisy, and the sound of footsteps was endless.Fu Lang didn't know if it was an enemy or a friend, he just felt very tormented, listening to the sound of sharp weapons clashing in the darkness, his nose was filled with the smell of blood.After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, a gleam of light finally shone in, the footsteps were complicated, only Chiyu shouted: "Young master!" Fu Lang finally realized that the rescuers had arrived, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.The remaining two assassins were at the end of their rope, they couldn't fight against Pei Se, one of them took a step forward and rushed straight towards Fu Lang.He had a ferocious face, and his face was covered with bright red blood stains. Fu Lang only felt a "boom" in his head, and his scalp was numb. He knew that he should avoid it, but he was still unable to move.

In an instant, a figure leaped out from a slant, barely crossing in front of her eyes, she couldn't see how he moved, and the gray sleeves were blowing up in the wind.A sword light slashed towards the assassin who was still fighting with Pei Se, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound in front of Fu Lang, and the man fell to the ground in response.He actually killed a man with only the scabbard.

The gray-clothed boy withdrew his scabbard, tiptoed on the desk, squatted down on the desk, and raised his chin to the stunned Fu Lang: "Okay, it's fine."

Fu Lang was stunned for a long while, then suddenly pushed him away, fumbled for two steps in the flickering faint light, and said in a trembling voice, "Pei Se——Pei Se! How are you?"

The silence continued for a long while, only to hear Pei Se hoarsely say: "Chiyu, light the lamp."

Chiyu was obviously a little flustered: "Lamp, light the lamp!"

Someone lit a flint and lit up several lamps in the house one by one.The more the lights turned on, the more worried Fu Lang became.The light shone unsteadily on Pei Se's face, as if she couldn't stand the light, she stretched out a bloody hand to lightly block it.The dim yellow light made her pale face almost transparent, and the scarlet blood was dazzling and hideous.

Fu Lang only felt a "bang" in his head, and his hands and feet stiffened instantly.She stood there dumbfounded, Chiyu's shout filled her ears, mixed with the slight wind and the noise of life: "Hurry up, the young master is injured, call the medical officer!"
