Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

Two shining silver needles shot straight at his face, Shui Lu instinctively turned sideways to avoid it, but he couldn't escape the anger of the water-soluble sword piercing the sky.With one pick and one stab, Shui Lu's eyes were instantly scarlet, and he covered his eyes and fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.

While waving the sleeves of his robe, Shui Rong was already holding Daiyu in his arms, and his dark phoenix eyes were filled with sternness and fierceness.The Qingfeng long sword in his hand was sheathed, and his slender fingers gently stroked Daiyu's pale cheeks, "Dai'er, it's all right! It's all right!" The soft voice was swept by the night wind, with a hint of Trembling and fright.

Daiyu wanted to reassure him, to smile at him, to tell him that she was fine.But when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and his trembling slender hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, after all he came to rescue him.The chaotic thoughts gradually sorted out, Daiyu's hands trembled slightly, and the short knife in her hand slipped down.

Shui Rong took the short knife and held it in his hand, affectionately brushed off the messy black hair on her face, and said in a low voice, "Dai'er, I am very grateful." The ambiguous words made Daiyu's confused mind even more unclear, and she could only stare blankly. Looking at him carefully, I fell into his warm embrace and gradually calmed down the fear and trembling in my heart.

Suddenly a murderous look appeared in his eyes, he held Daiyu in his arms, raised the bow and arrow on the ground with his water-soluble toes, and shot three feathered arrows at the same time.Shui Lu, who was rolling on the ground with his eyes in his hands, suddenly became silent, and the bright red blood overflowing from his heart was like a bull's-eye, and all three feathered arrows pierced it.

"It's not good for my subordinates to protect the princess and the princess, so I ask the lord to punish me." Now there are only nine of the twenty guards in the armor of the palace, and they all knelt down in front of Shui Rong's body, holding their swords in their hands and bowing their heads to wait for Shui Rong's death.Under the faint moonlight, the sharp blade refracted a snow-like light, and the dark and unclear places must be bloodstains that have not yet drained away.

Daiyu thought so in her heart, her nose had already smelled the pungent blood, she looked up at Shui Rong's cold face, gently tugged at his sleeve, Shui Rong lowered her head to stare at her bright autumn eyes, and turned her head to look at her. The nine people kneeling on the ground said indifferently: "Get up, gather the 11 people who have passed away so that they can be buried safely." The nine people agreed, turned around and disappeared into the night very quickly.

Only now did Daiyu realize that Shui Rong did not come alone.There were ten men in black following him behind him, and all of them retreated silently with the nine at this time, just as they appeared silently, causing the two rows of archers beside Shui Lu to disappear in an instant. kill.

The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes and the sound of iron armor colliding were getting closer, Daiyu's body trembled slightly, Shui Rong hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "It's okay, Dai'er, don't worry." He jumped off his horse, and the burly figure that got closer and closer gradually revealed his features. His eyes as sharp as eagles swept across the pale and embarrassed Shui Danyang, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general Xin Moyu kowtowed to Bei Jing Lord."

"General Xin, please stand up!" The gloomy phoenix eyes are like the cold pool of an ancient well, and the ripples seem to be like birds passing by, and the layers of water ripple away, saying: "How can General Xin be here?"

"When the city gate was about to be lowered with thousands of locks, the last general happened to be above the north city gate. Hearing the two soldiers arguing and not daring to lose the thousand locks, I knew that Princess Beijing and Princess Chengning had not yet returned to the city." The deep voice was slightly weak. With a hoarse voice, like gravel and gravel mixed with the cold wind on the battlefield outside the pass, he raised his finger and pointed to the dead woods opposite, and said, "There are nearly fifty archers in ambush there, and all of them have been ambushed by now." The sloppy explanation is really the true nature of a soldier's determination.

"Thank you, General Xin!" Shui Rong was sincerely grateful, but Mo Chen's eyes contained a trace of murderousness, and Dai Yu could clearly feel it when she was standing next to her, but she still couldn't hide the fear in her heart.Although he already knew that Shui Lu had another group of people hidden in the woods, he didn't expect that there were so many of them.

"Prince Bei, you don't need to be polite. Since Princess Chengning is the wife of the Supreme Commander and the last general, it is reasonable to protect her and the concubine. However, the last general seems to be late." His eyes fell on the two rows who fell on the ground. The archer, the moonlight swayed on his armor, reflecting the cold light.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes not far away, Xin Moyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Mu Yanjun and Shangguan Yunlan landed in front of him.Shangguan Yunlan stepped forward and grabbed Daiyu's arm, and looked carefully for a moment with the faint light of the bamboo and wood lamp in his hand, before he let out a long breath and said, "When we learned about these things, we were really anxious to death. Fortunately, God blesses you." As he spoke, he jumped in front of Shui Danyang, carefully looked at her frightened and pale face, patted her face, and said, "Danyang, Danyang, you are usually very courageous. Hurry up and return to your soul, it’s all right now!”

Shui Danyang saw Shangguan Yunlan wipe away the tears on his face, bit his lips tightly to prevent the choking in his throat from overflowing, forced his voice to remain calm and said: "It's okay, of course it's okay. Look, I'm not well now? "As he said, he hugged Shangguan Yunlan tightly, and the tears in the corners of his eyes still couldn't help but slipped down.

Xin Moyu's dark eyes turned to Shui Danyang, and Shui Danyang's pale face fell into his eyes, his thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, but he turned his head in a blink of an eye, and said: "Although these traitors have been executed now, they are still considered royal blood after all, how do you do that?" Explain to the emperor?"

Mu Yanjun glanced at Shuilu and the archers on the ground, and said: "Just now, Eunuch Li went to the mansion to pass the decree, and we just learned about it. The Holy Majesty learned that Longyan was furious, and immediately ordered this king to call North Prince Jing returned to the capital, handed over the traitor to him, and even said: "Let's get a license for cheap, not to obey laws and regulations." The so-called cheap means that killing him is also cheap, and there is nothing to explain.

Shui Shu would be furious at Long Yan, and the marriage he facilitated was originally for Shui Yun.At this time, Shui Lu blatantly wanted to murder Shui Danyang, so that this marriage could not take place, it was stepping on the taboo in his heart, and it was disrespectful to disobey the emperor's order.Thinking deeper, it is an evil plot, intending to mess up this matter, so that he can monopolize the military power and usurp the throne in the future.

No matter how clear Shui Pei left this matter, Shui Shu would take his anger out on him. How could he be so stupid to transfer the matter to himself?Isn't all the painstaking efforts of so many days in vain?But maybe he also has an obsession, thinking that if he can kill Danyang and clear the biggest military obstacle, maybe he will acquiesce in Shuilu's doing so.

There are pros and cons to the rise of this matter. If the strategy is well planned, it may be a big leap. If it is not good, just like today's failure, it is a failure.It's just that everything is inconclusive, and it's all in Shuishu's choice.Daiyu raised her head to look at Shui Rong, and Shui Rong looked down at Daiyu quietly, saying plausibly, "King Fengyi may have arrived in Hebei at this time." Mu Yanjun's thoughtful eyes fell on Shui Rong's cold face, faintly Diyuehui hangs down from the treetops, and I don't feel that I'm thinking about it when I touch my clothes.

Kicking Shui Lu who was already stiff on the ground, Shangguan Yunlan looked down at his unwillingness to die, and said coldly: "This kind of rebellious officials and thieves are so bold that they dare to openly block my sister and Danyang outside the city in order to stop them. It's really not a pity to die a thousand times!"

Mu Yanjun held her arm helplessly, and said: "The person is already dead, no matter how much you scold her, it will be a waste of saliva." Shangguan Yunlan resentfully retracted the kicked foot, and muttered: " It's really cheap for him."

Holding a long sword in his hand, Xin Moyu picked up the black scarves of several people who were connected to each other. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. He looked up at Shui Rong lightly, and said, "They also have viper marks on their faces. They are the Yanming Pass bandit Zhou Cheng." The master archer under him." It was he who led the troops to destroy Zhou Cheng's stronghold, and when he entered the stronghold, he killed the bandit Zhou Cheng, but he was the only one who saw the second master and his 200 archers.Unexpectedly, I could see these people at the feet of the emperor.

Mu Yanjun looked at Xin Moyu in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Are they the sharp archers who ran across the northwest and were known as shooting stars?" Back then, Zhou Cheng was able to become the leader of the Northwest bandits because of his sharp archers. Dedicated to Shui Lu's men.

Xin Moyu nodded and said: "I remember when I was at the city gate today, I saw a group of people leaving the city together in twos and threes. They must have disguised themselves and merged in the woods, waiting for their opportunity! Maybe they are seeking revenge."

Shui Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that the Meteor Archer who had disappeared for five years was actually hiding in the capital.Suddenly there was a sneer on the corners of his lips, and he said coldly: "Shui Lu may not be able to control these people." If it's just for revenge, why bother to stay dormant in the capital for nearly five years?

Back at Prince Jing's Mansion, Shui Rong carried Daiyu directly to Hao Ze and Qing Wan's room.Seeing Haoze and Qingwan with their eyes wide open in the cradle, their tender faces were gently stroked with trembling slender hands, and tears rolled down.Haoze and Qingwan held Daiyu's slender hand tightly one by one, their jade-like eyes were as bright as black grapes soaked in water, and they called out: "Mother, mother."

Daiyu couldn't help crying anymore, Shui Rong gently wiped away the tears from her face, resting her chin on her sobbing and trembling shoulder, her big hand covered her slender hand and held the little hands of the two dolls together.In such a quiet and warm time, Daiyu leaned in the warm embrace of water, looked at the falling crystal bead curtain with tears in her eyes, slowly closed her eyes and unconsciously prayed for the time to stop temporarily.Zijuan stood on one side and looked at the family of four clinging to each other, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Covered by red candles, the candle shadows outside the window were mottled, and the shadows cast covered some of Daiyu's face, but the face exposed by the candlelight was as pale as snow.Shui Rong took off his coat, opened the brocade quilt and quietly held Daiyu in his arms, with his thin lips tightly pressed, gently stroking Daiyu's stiff back.

Daiyu put her arms around his waist, leaned into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Dai'er is fine." The big hand caressing her back stopped suddenly, and Shui Rong raised her small face with eyes full of pity. His eyes were like waves of clear water, gently rippling with tenderness, he kissed her jade-like forehead, and said softly: "Is it really all right?" The pity and worry in the eyes slowly dissipated like a breeze.

Daiyu raised her head, staring at him with watery eyes, and said, "Dai'er said that no matter what the future is full of thorns and ups and downs, she will always be by Rong Ying's side, and she will never back down in the slightest." Shui Rong was moved by it, and her arms tightened even more tightly, as if she wanted to integrate this slender body into her body. After a long time, she rubbed her hair, and said softly: "Yes! Dai'er once promised me, and I will also I once promised Dai'er."

Looking at Daiyu who was sleeping soundly, Shui Rong gently hugged her and lay on the bed, tucked in the brocade quilt and went out.Walking into the centrifugal garden, Xin Moyu and Mu Yanjun were already waiting there.

"Although Zhou Cheng is the head of the Shanzhai, but in terms of resourcefulness, he is far inferior to the second head, Sun Xinzhi. When the Shanzhai was wiped out, only Sun Xinzhi and his shooting star archer were not seen." Xin Moyu frowned, thinking, Shui Rong tapped the white jade table with his slender fingers, and said calmly: "The eradication of the cottage was a sudden attack. If Sun Xinzhi could escape, someone must have notified him."

Xin Moyu thought for a while, nodded in agreement, raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the distant sky, and said: "If no one informs, our soldiers have already surrounded the entire mountain. If they didn't go down the mountain before the officers and soldiers arrived, they would have jumped into the mountain." Wings cannot escape."

"So the one who notified Sun Xinzhi back then will be the one who takes them in now?" Shui Rong poured a glass of sake and put it in front of Mu Yanjun, and said, "Sun Xinzhi is the brother of Lizhou prefect Sun Xinyu." Mu Yanjun looked surprised Xiang Shuirong was silent for a long while before asking: "How do you know this?" Seeing Shui Rong's unmoving expression, Mu Yanjun smiled, and continued, "The daughter of Lizhou Governor Sun Xinyu is The concubine of King Fengyi." Prime Minister Li was in charge of the government affairs of the court, and before Datian listened to the bandit suppressing book, it must have passed his hands.

Xin Moyu drank the sake in his hand, frowned slightly and said: "The wine in Beijing is sweet and clear, which is only suitable for drinking lightly before the flowers and under the moonlight, not for reckless people like us." Shui Rong said with a faint smile: "It's a pity The general is now in Kyoto, so it is impossible not to drink it."

Xin Moyu was silent for a while, with a rare smile on his rough face, he said: "Prince Beijing is right. It's just that I'm very curious about the skills of people who can stop the archers from shooting deadly feather arrows and kill them in an instant. How fast?" The reason why he was able to kill the archers who were ambushing in the woods was because he had an opportunity that they were not prepared for, but he also lost a lot of soldiers.

Shui Rong picked up the wine glass in his hand and sipped lightly, without any intention of answering, but Mu Yanjun smiled and said: "In recent years, I have heard rumors from friends in the world that there is an organization called Phantom. No one has seen it. The Phantom's true face, I only know that their swords are like flowing rainbows, and their moves are so fast that the opponent has no chance to fight back." Looking at Shui Rong with a smile that was not a smile, he said: "Didn't the North Lord be ordered to go with King Feng Yi? Have you left Hebei? Why did you turn back all of a sudden?"

Shui Rong asked indifferently: "Did General Xin see those people clearly today? Have all those who escaped that day been executed?" Mu Yanjun looked at Shui Rong and touched his nose, then waved the folding fan and fanned it lightly, as if it was him This question has not been asked.Xin Moyu shook his head solemnly and said: "Back then, there were no more than two hundred people led by Sun Xinzhi, but now the number of people counted is less than a hundred people with the sign of a viper engraved on their faces, and there are still more than a hundred people who don't know where they are! "

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, turned the jade cup in his hand thoughtfully, and said calmly: "There are nearly a hundred more people?" Such a skilled archer, more than a hundred people would be a great hidden danger.Xin Moyu nodded, put down the jade cup in his hand, and said with his hand on his forehead: "Although our Xin family has only served the king in the past and did not want to participate in the battle. But now if I watch such a wolf-hearted person ascend the throne as the emperor, That is absolutely impossible." After speaking, he stood up, brushed off his sleeves to cool off, and turned to leave.

The next day, Shuishu Longyan was furious at the court, and the court ordered the minguo mansion to confiscate the family and convict, and take back the Yuci mansion.Shui Lu was buried in a random grave outside the city with the ceremony of common people, and it was even more clearly stated that the descendants of the Duke's Mansion of Min State would not be allowed to enter the royal mausoleum again.All the female relatives and children under the age of the mansion were relocated to an abandoned villa twenty miles away from the city, and they were not allowed to set foot in the capital for the rest of their lives without permission.That is to say, Sun Xinyu will be escorted to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial!

I don't know how many officials were involved in this, and it greatly crushed the power of the Li family in the court.On the contrary, Wang Shuipei of Fengyi still calmly completed the tasks assigned by Shui Shu, as if he was completely ignorant of the affairs in Beijing, and never intervened in these matters.When he returned to the mansion, he should act in a low-key manner, stay in the mansion in a self-cultivating manner, and ignore the relegated officials, and even the people who came to the door were shunned by him because of illness.

Tasting tea and playing chess is a happy life!The white-glazed teacup of Konggu Youlan contains crystal clear green grape juice, which tastes sour and sweet, with a mouth-to-mouth aroma.The white piece in Zhuanzhi's hand landed on the chessboard, and a faint sorrow gathered on his brows.Looking down at the thin satin cloak on her body, she shook her head helplessly. After all, her body is very weak. No matter how strong her will is, she can't resist her weak body and bone disease to lie on the bed for a few days.

When Shui Danyang came silently, he saw Daiyu sitting quietly under the grape arbor playing chess and drinking tea alone, so he sat on the rattan chair opposite her.Looking around the small garden with vegetables and green vines covered with yellow flowers, bees and butterflies are also flying on it to collect honey. It is such an idyllic scenery, which is more and more strange in this deep courtyard. So he sighed: "It's rare to see such a peasant atmosphere, but it doesn't stand out from here, which is very good."

Daiyu poured a glass of grape juice and put it in front of Shui Danyang, gathered the thin brocade cloak embroidered with thin plums in blue satin around her body, and stared at the silence in her eyes like thick ink that could not be melted away.Turning to look at the jade butterfly dancing up and down among the green vine yellow flowers, flying up or down, front or back, between the sky and the earth, in a blink of an eye, you chased me and flew out over the high wall until you saw it. Not seeing them, Daiyu just looked away.

Today is the thirteenth day of April, and in a few days it will be the day when Dan Yang leaves the pavilion.The Beijing Prince's Mansion has long been decorated with lights and festoons, bright red silks and satins are hung high, and silk flowers made of silks and satins are tied to the porch of tree branches.The crowd coming and going to Hexi almost stepped through the threshold of the Beijing Palace, but there was not much joy on their faces.After all, Daiyu was ill, and Princess Beijing also wanted to do her own thing for her daughter's marriage, but no one came to disturb Daiyu's leisure.

Picking the morning glory casually, she put it in her hand to enjoy it carefully. The edge of the flower was curled a little by the sun, and she stretched out her hand to slowly flatten it.The drooping eyelashes were like small upside-down fans casting shadows, covering the sorrow of parting in her eyes, but Daiyu knew her very well, and stood up holding her arm tightly, saying: "Danyang comes with me."

Shui Danyang looked at Daiyu puzzled. Daiyu had already pulled her out of the grape arbor, and walked slowly along the corridor to the front yard of Minseju.Walking into the study room, he gently pushed open the door, and placed Shui Danyang on a chair.Take out two scrolls of calligraphy and painting from the porcelain urn on one side and spread them out on the table.

From far to near, deep and light red, or bright red like clouds, or light and elegant.The falling petals seem to be able to feel the spring breeze blowing on the face. The trees and branches are full of buds that are ready to bloom. The peach blossoms are blooming like clouds. They are as delicate as a girl's shame, and they are so lifelike that people feel like they are under the flower tree. The nose smells the aroma of peach petals.

"The beauty of the peach blossoms is scorching. The son of peaches is suitable for his family. The beauty of peaches is true. The son of peaches is suitable for his family. The youth of peaches is suitable for his family. Ye Zhenzhen is the son of peaches. , suitable for his family." Juanxiu's plum blossoms are lightly inscribed on the side of the picture scroll, and this song "Taoyao" from the Book of Songs fulfills the longing and hope of a woman when she gets married.

Turning his eyes to look at another scroll painting, the painting on it is a green grass field, and two or three dandelions are in full bloom with pure white flowers.There are lupine-like seeds floating in the sky, drifting and falling randomly with the wind.Shui Danyang's eye sockets were slightly moistened by that leisurely way of letting nature take its course. Looking at the profile of the figure outlined with a few strokes, he smiled through tears: "Sister-in-law Wang's painting skills are getting better and better. It can be seen that it is Danyang."

Carefully rolled up the two scrolls, hugged them like treasures, tears rolled down, turned around and hugged Daiyu, choked up and said: "These two paintings are more precious than the so-called rare treasures outside, Danyang has remembered Aunt Wang's wishes." She knew that Daiyu wanted her to take root in a different place like a dandelion, and live a happy life like Taoyao said, so that such a picture scroll could accompany her in the long days at the border in the future.

Pulling her to sit on the cool couch by the window, her smoky eyebrows were slightly frowned with a hint of sadness but also a little bit of relief, and said softly: "Danyang, General Xin is an upright man. Since he has agreed to marry you Wife, I will definitely protect you wholeheartedly. Forget about the past, accept him with open arms, try to walk into his heart, and work hard to manage your own happiness. Sometimes happiness is by your side, but if you don’t fight for it, it will peek through your fingers Look slip away."

Shui Danyang seemed to have a green olive in his chest, it took a long time before he raised his head, his complex eyes fell on Daiyu's elegant and refined face, it was a long time before he smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, don't worry."

The nanny hugged Hao Ze and Qing Wan who were awake and walked in. Shui Danyang hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, put the picture scroll in his arms on the table, hugged Hao Ze in his arms, and stared at the bright black jade. Tears in Shui Danyang's eyes fell down.Gently brushing her cheeks with delicate hands, wiping away the tears that fell down, her handsome little face wrinkled slightly, and said: "Googoo, coogow."

Shui Danyang was moved but also a little funny, broke through his tears and said softly, "I don't know if you are calling aunt or imitating the song of a bird." Shui Haoze's soft arms wrapped around her neck, and her small hands held her hair bun The green silk hanging down from her head giggled and called: "Cuckoo, cluck." Daiyu held Shui Qingwan in her arms, looked sideways at Shui Haoze's bright black eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Haoze is the most smart kid."

Thinking of the resolute and resolute Xin Moyu that day, Daiyu felt relieved in her worried heart.Xin Moyu is also a man of love. Although he has deep affection for his wife, now that he has accepted the fact that Shui Danyang is his wife.No matter what, he would be responsible for Shui Danyang.A man who is willing to be responsible, no matter whether he loves his wife or not, will respect and protect her.Danyang Zi goes straight to each other, who can say that they can't become happy friends?

The queen sent the capable mother around her to send the screen embroidered with a hundred children celebrating spring to Beijing Palace, implying that there are hundreds of children in different postures on the screen, which means many children and many blessings, celebrating the new year happily.Daiyu brought Danyang to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking at the children above, Shui Danyang blushed unconsciously, and walked to the side of Princess Beijing.

Looking at Danyang with tears in her eyes, Princess Beijing pulled her daughter to sit next to her with complicated thoughts, patted her little hand and said softly: "This is sent by Mother De, sent by the empress." Shui Danyang Looking at Madam De who was sitting on the footrest, she got up and slightly bent her knees, and said, "Nurse De, I'm sorry."

Shui Danyang seemed to have grown up a lot in one night, his brows were less impulsive and more stable, Princess Beijing Jing nodded slightly with satisfaction and sadness, and Nanny De hurried forward to help Shui Danyang sit in the north Jingwang Taifei was beside her, smiling again and again: "How can this old servant girl be so oblivious to the princess? The princess should not be like this."

Staring at Daiyu who was sitting next to Princess Beijing, Nanny De said with a concerned smile, "The day before yesterday I heard that the princess was frightened and fell ill for a few days, but now the servant girl looks thinner and thinner. I have been thinking about it all the time, when I leave, I must ask my servant to take a good look at it, and if you need any medicinal materials, just ask."

Daiyu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you Empress Empress for caring, I am fine now. Please go back and thank Empress Empress for caring, Madam De, I will go to the palace to thank Empress Empress for her kindness when I have free time." Nanny De smiled In response, Princess Beijing smiled and asked Qing Zhu to send her out.

Ye Zhilan, who followed her mother to congratulate her, looked at the screen bestowed by the empress, and said with a muffled smile, "Sister Danyang is so lucky that even the empress herself gave me the screen. I heard that the pass over there is desolate. Bringing this screen over can also add some happiness to my sister's house." The tone of trying to express concern but still couldn't hide the gloating.

"Although Yanming Pass belongs to the frontier, it is a prosperous and beautiful pass city. How many rare things are there? If it can still be called a desolate place, it is really ignorant. The current screen belongs to the empress. Naturally, kindness and universal benefits cannot be compared with ordinary things." Daiyu looked at Ye Zhilan with a faint sneer on her face, and Ye Zhilan clenched her hands tightly with her lofty nobility and elegance.

Ye Zhilan stared fixedly at Daiyu's clear and distant face, and sighed softly: "I heard that the princess fell ill on the bed the day before yesterday, and it was really worrying. Seeing that the princess is recovering as before, the minister's concern After all, I let go of my heart." The fake concern made Daiyu frowned slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Ms. Ye is really as kind as ever." It's just that the so-called kindness hides a knife in the cotton. Her life would be killed at some point, so she should not accept her kindness.
