[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

As dusk approaches, Shangqiu is already golden, and the brilliant afterglow has coated the entire capital with a layer of bright gold, making it even more elegant. The noble man—the white horse he is riding—has a noble temperament, is so handsome that it shines brightly, and shakes the mind Restless.

People are more dead than people, and horses are better than horses.There are so many guards around, all of them are as lifeless as wooden stakes, how can there be Lord Xiao's horse, which is so pleasing to the eye, so beautiful and delicious.

Lying on the window of the carriage, with her chin resting on her hands, Her Royal Highness Princess Nongyue hugged her tuanzi cat, adhering to the principle of looking at horses and not people, and insisted on running on people: "This horse is so beautiful, it's useless to match you." .”

Xiao Ruofan glanced at the carriage, saw that she hadn't drawn the curtains of the windows tightly, and sighed helplessly: "The princess is the face of the Tian family, extremely precious, she shouldn't show her face so easily."

The sound of "meow" seemed to be a delicate protest.Nongyue buried her face in her arms, rubbing against the cat's soft fur and rolled in a half circle, with a lazy look but the corners of her eyes were raised high: "I've always been like this, I can't see you sticking up like this." Ah! Besides, who is more careful than you, Jing Xianghou, who knows that this palace 'has no shame', so he deliberately chose the cleanest alley."

Looking up from a distance, the deserted alleys, the autumn wind and fallen leaves, are so lonely that they are the only ones traveling along the road.

Escorting the princess back to the palace is not an easy task. It is necessary to protect people, but also to find the way, and the most important thing is to prevent the curfew.Xiao Ruofan looked at the setting sun, which was showing more and more brilliant afterglow, could not help but frown, and ordered the horses and chariots to hurry up—in case they were caught by the police, they said that Marquis Jing Xiang and the eldest princess were "on the willow's head on the moon, and they made an appointment after dusk", Should he commit suicide to thank the world in order to preserve his "fame", or should he just stay at home like a turtle and wait for the princess to kill him with a knife?

The carriage accelerated and bumped a bit, Nongyue sat in an unladylike posture, and couldn't "stand still". Naturally, his chin knocked his arm and almost bit his tongue, his face twitched in pain, and he quickly covered his cheeks, muttering and sulking: "Take one step and think ten steps, the girls are chirping."

Of course Xiao Ruofan heard clearly, he paused the rein in his hand, and then sighed: "...bite Lu Dongbin."

Nong Yue didn't hear the first word clearly, but the meaning was pretty much the same, she ground her teeth and almost jumped up: "What did you say?"

Xiao Ruofan looked over and quickly reminded: "Be careful, don't knock on the car window."

"I'm watching!" It's definitely not worth it to suffer for this bastard!

Xiao Ruofan glanced again and shook his head: "I mean your cat."

"Ah?" It was too late to realize, Nongyue prevented herself from bumping into it, and subconsciously blocked the edge of the car window with her hand, but forgot that she was still pinching the back of the cat's neck in her hand. With a "bang", the cat's head was blown Knocked on the hardwood of the carriage.

"Meow..." a pitiful cry, so weak that even his ears curled up.

Nongyue clasped her hands together, guiltily expressed her deep apologies, and hurriedly rubbed the pet's hair; Xiao Ruofan watched from the side, and couldn't help feeling: "Why are animals so innocent?"Just like the handsome white horse he was riding, being harassed by Her Royal Highness with warm eyes all the way, I don't know if it was embarrassment or shyness, everything from the mane to the horse's hooves was trembling, and it was even more uncomfortable to ride on it.

The cat has suffered, but the horse has been blessed, no longer being seduced by the young girl's secret glances, cheered up and let out a long hiss, accompanied by Xiao Ruofan's chuckle: "Stop making trouble, hurry back to the palace, it's really fast!" Curfew."

Nongyue was busy comforting the poor pet with drooping ears, but couldn't look away from the perpetrator, only a cold "hum".

Passing through this alley is the main road, and the evening market is almost over. The princess will not be ostentatious, so she can walk faster... Xiao Ruofan stepped on the stirrup while thinking, and the horse was about to let go Er, Xuebai's ears trembled suddenly, all four hooves stopped suddenly, and the horse's head was raised, Xiao Ruofan held the rein tightly and looked over - a group of masked people stood up on the roof!

Even though the curfew is approaching, the sky is not dark yet, intending to assassinate the princess and Lord Hou in broad daylight?

The reaction of the guards was no slower than that of a horse, and it was their duty to protect the princess, so how could they rely on horses to rescue them?It is because there is only one branch that has no other branch that Lu Ma has a good reputation through the ages. In fact, it is just a mistake in the middle of a busy schedule and jumped off the cliff!

Xiao Ruofan was the only one who was glad that he came out on a horse so that he could jump off the horse in time. If he was dragged off by the guards, if he fell again, wouldn't it be true for the princess to sit in the judgment of "girl chirping" in front of the princess?

The masked man had already jumped down and fought with the guards. Xiao Ruofan was surrounded by the carriage, and subconsciously pushed back the cat's head and the princess's head that were still stuck in the window. Even the baffle was easily caught, and he sternly warned: "Don't come out!"

Nongyue was pushed down and almost bumped into the cat again, but it was too late to react, the baffle was pushed tightly from the outside, and she could only slap her: "Hey, hey!"

This was not the time for fighting spirit, Xiao Ruofan leaned against the carriage, surrounded by seven or eight guards - and there were only seven or eight guards left.The others are all fighting with the masked man, who is approaching menacingly, and this is a remote alley, with a certain distance from the soldiers and horses in the capital...I'm afraid, I can't wait for "rescue".

Fighting hand to hand, soon saw the blood.The surrounding guards are getting closer and closer, and it is the opponent who is getting closer.

Xiao Ruofan is not good at martial arts, so he will never be so stupid as to rush out and act stupid.It was extremely critical, and he was nervously thinking about how to get out, but he heard a crisp "click" from inside the car—is this, the sound of a musket being loaded?

Xiao Ruofan immediately put his back on the carriage, leaned against the window, turned his head slightly, and lowered his voice but remained stern: "Don't shoot!"

Nongyue thumped again with "bang bang"—won't you shoot and wait to die?Get out of the way for me, don't block the windows!

Of course, the carriage door on the other side has already been bolted to the guards. This is because the thing made by the imperial court is not good. It is too heavy and too sturdy. Probably only a person with superb martial arts skills like the King of Beijing can easily unload a wheel. .

"Nonsense!" The windows are only so big, the view is so narrow and the people are so chaotic, how many can you hit with your marksmanship?Xiao Ruofan continued to block the window, and yelled again in a low voice: "Keep the gunpowder, maybe you can save yourself!"

With blood splattering everywhere, Xiao Ruofan had already made a clear calculation: the opponent had the upper hand in numbers, but not many more. If they all fought to the death, the opponent would only have three or four people left at most—it was exactly what a tube of ammunition could fire. The number of people who fell.

Xiao Ruofan stuck his whole body on the car window, Nongyue couldn't help grinding his teeth in anger - what are you doing so tall?I just found out today that you are so fat and strong, it is the most suitable target for you!

It was indeed blocking the gun, and Her Royal Highness, who was so angry, pointed the gun at his back and hit him hard. The threat was obvious: Do you want to let him go or not?

With the gun muzzled against the window paper on his back, Xiao Ruofan was so angry that he said coldly, "If you want, just shoot!"

Do you really think I dare not shoot?Nongyue was so angry that she really wanted to pull the trigger, her fingers trembled and trembled, she wished she could accidentally hook him and kill him.It's so close, I'm not afraid of being killed!

Suddenly there was a scream, a guard was stabbed in the waist and abdomen by the masked man, and the other party's sword pointed out, the guard flew over, blood almost gushed out, dyeing the murderous intent even redder.

With a neigh, the blood dyed the white horse Ruxue's mane sticky and bloody. Accompanied by the startled horse's neighing, the scene became more and more chaotic, Xiao Ruofan's cold sweat became more stagnant, and Nongyue's muzzle was pressed even tighter——

In the nick of time, a voice suddenly came from the alley behind: "Princess!"

This voice is... Lan Yiqian?

Nongyue was so startled that she almost pulled the trigger, and hurriedly put away the musket; the clash of swords and swords outside became more and more intense, but it was like the end of a crossbow, and after a while, it stopped completely.

The figure who had been blocking the car window finally got out of the way, Nongyue quickly stretched out her head, and saw Xiao Ruofan turned pale, looking cold, and gave her a glare.

Nongyue was about to stare back, when Xiao Ruofan suddenly reminded her again: "Heads are about to hit."

"Ah?" She didn't grab the cat this time... Her head couldn't help but thump, and there was a "bang", this time it was Her Royal Highness herself.

She probably had a swollen bump, Nongyue rubbed the back of her head, and gritted her teeth sullenly, sure enough, she and Xiao Ruofan were naturally repulsed, and it would be no good being with this bastard!

Fortunately, Lan Yiqian, a chubby lucky star, rescued him, and the Lan family would clean up the mess. Lan Yiqian jumped over, looked at Nongyue again, and then turned around and looked at Xiao Ruofan again, and then she was very serious. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're fine."

"Thank you, Miss Lan, for saving me." When he came back to his senses, Lord Xiaohou was as polite and courteous as a spring breeze, and his indifference and sternness were only for His Royal Highness, who was born to be wrong.

Nongyue grabbed Lan Yiqian's hand through the window, shook it again and again: "It's lucky to have you, otherwise, I would have been suffocated to death in the car!"

Xiao Ruofan sighed while listening, what did you just say?A cat who bites Lu Dongbin does not recognize good people!

Lan Yiqian was very sorry, and approached Nongyue and whispered: "I should have troubled you. My grandmother sent the woman from the He family back and was intercepted. Grandma remembered that your carriages and horses were at about the same time as hers." If you are out of the mansion, if those assassins get mixed up or the two sides are together, please send me over to have a look."

Both Nongyue and Xiao Ruofan were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Is Mrs. Lan all right?"

Lan Yiqian was not worried at all, and waved her hand casually: "It's okay, I probably shaved a lot of pumpkins."

Thinking about it, Mrs. Lan was able to do a job well in the fierce northern Xinjiang, how could she not be able to suppress these "petty" assassinations in the capital.

Xiao Ruofan withdrew her mind, and bowed to Lan Yiqian again: "It's approaching the curfew, the princess can't go back to the palace in time, and I don't know if the assassin has any accomplices. I also ask Miss Lan to escort the princess to..." Think about where is the closest , "Let's go to the princess mansion."

"Yes, let's go find Daiyu." Nongyue rarely agreed with Xiao Ruofan's suggestion. After all, how could it be a coincidence that Mrs. Lan was assassinated when she "escorted" the female family members of the He family for a birthday party?This decree was brought out by Daiyu. If Daiyu heard that they had been assassinated, she would die in a hurry. Nongyue wanted to explain it quickly.

Nongyue thought it right, but she didn't know that in the eldest princess's mansion, Daiyu was receiving the reward from the palace, which was the phoenix crown for the Jiji ceremony. It was supposed to be delivered in the afternoon, but the inner palace secretary said The pearls are not inlaid neatly, begging for grace to catch up with work.Both Princess Roulan and Daiyu were soft-hearted, and they didn't care much about it, they just said that it would be delivered when it was ready, so it was delayed until now.

The phoenix crown is extremely luxurious, the phoenix pinched with gold silk is lifelike, its wings flutter like flying, and the three circles of pearls are shining like honey, Daiyu just wants to stick out her tongue, how heavy is this thing?God is so pitiful, the crown clothes also weigh about twenty catties, will she still be able to walk by then?

Daiyu was taking pity on the green bamboo shoot bones all over her body, but she didn't notice that the little eunuch who was holding the phoenix crown kept his head down, and there was a little bit of dark light in his sleeves, looming.
