i want that tiger

"Okay, okay, I don't ask." Sitting on a big bluestone on the shore, Wen Yu looked at the full moon in the night sky, and fell into infinite emotion: "When you were young, you were made a prince by your father. You have to go to the palace to study martial arts with us every day, but you were the most incapable of studying at that time, and the daily morning classes almost killed you, hahaha... Sometimes, the two of us work hand in hand, saying that we are sick and don’t go to class , and then sneaked out of the palace gate, I don’t know how many times we have stepped on this street in the capital..."

"There was also the Lantern Festival that year, and the young son of Nanjiang was there. The three of us went out to play with the king of Nanjiang and Uncle Wuhuang. Uncle Wuhuang bought a lantern for each of us. Mine was a rabbit. Ze, yours is a horse."

"Mine is a tiger." Chu Lingze seemed to be remembering.

"No, Xiao Shizi is the tiger, Aze, you remember it wrong. Hey, didn't you forget it?"

"Cough... I forgot most of them, but I still remember some."

Wen Yu laughed loudly, saying that Aze, you only remember some things, but you still remember them poorly.

Chu Lingze looked at Wen Yu's brightly smiling face, and a seven or eight-year-old boy appeared in his mind, with a powdered face, elegant and luxurious, holding a rabbit lantern on the bustling street and laughing like a fool.

The face of the little fool merged with the face of the big fool now.

After the river lanterns were set off, Wen Yuqiang dragged Chu Lingze, who seemed to be reclusive and isolated from the world, wandering on the street.The road met a small stall, surrounded by several layers of people in front of the stall, a large wooden frame stood in the center, with fiery red lanterns and poem entries hanging on the frame, and a few gentlemen with fan bones stuck their foreheads on their foreheads, struggling in the middle of the crowd. thinking.It turned out to be someone who guessed lantern riddles, Wen Yu became interested and followed suit to guess a few.

Standing outside the crowd, Chu Lingze got impatient and was about to leave, but saw Wen Yu pushing out from the crowd holding two bunches of candied haws.The eyes that are as bright as stars seem to have never eaten candied haws.

Wen Yu smiled and gave Chu Lingze a bunch, but Chu Lingze refused and gave him a disgusted look.

"I won this lantern riddle, don't you want to eat it?" Seeing that Chu Lingze ignored him, he sighed, "Okay, then I'll eat it myself." After a while, he said, "It's really delicious, are you sure you don't want to try it? "

Chu Lingze just wanted to leave this prince who "has never seen the world" quickly.

After walking a few steps, Wen Yu called out again, Chu Lingze frowned and turned around, and saw Wen Yu stopped by a lantern stall, holding two rabbit lanterns in his hand.

"Aze, look how cute this rabbit is, does it look like it was when I was a child?"

It's quite similar, but Chu Lingze didn't answer.

"Let's have one for each of us."

"No!" Chu Lingze replied quickly and decisively.

Wen Yu put it back disappointed, and was about to leave when he heard Chu Lingze's faint voice: I want that tiger.

Looking at Chu Lingze's fiery eyes, and thinking about his usual cold style, Wen Yu chuckled, "Ah Ze, did you want tiger lanterns for the Lantern Festival that year?"

The two of them, one black and one white, one cold and the other warm, each carrying a lantern, walked side by side among the crowd, and both had handsome faces, often attracting attention.

It's late at night, go back to the mansion.Passing through a small alley, quiet and deep.

As he was walking, Chu Lingze stopped abruptly, and stretched out his hand to pull Wen Yu behind him.Just as Wen Yu was about to ask what's the matter, there was the sound of arrows piercing through the air in his ear, and when he looked closely, dozens of long arrows "swish" and flew towards him!

The two came out to look at the lights, so they didn't think of sabers.Judging by the number of arrows, the other party had at least a dozen people, Wen Yu thought, it's over now.

Chu Lingze was wearing a black robe. The black robe was loose and had extremely wide cuffs, which was a bit of Southern Xinjiang style.Since entering Beijing, Chu Lingze seems to have been wearing this kind of clothes, but Wen Yu only thought that he had been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and didn't think much about it.

I saw that Chu Lingze took an object from his waist, and when it unfolded, it turned out to be a soft sword. The body of the sword was pitch black without much decoration, and it matched his clothes very well.It is usually tied around the waist, but Wen Yu thought it was his belt.

Swinging his sword to block the flying feather arrows, Chu Lingze asked, "Where's your sword?"

"I came out to play, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen..." Wen Yu lowered his head, his voice was like a gnat.

But it still fell into Chu Lingze's ears precisely, "Idiot!" He cut off the arrow with a sword in his right hand, and grabbed Wen Yu with his left hand to hide behind him.

However, no matter how good Chu Lingze's martial arts were, he was still outmatched by two fists and four hands. In addition, he had the burden of Wen Yu. Therefore, after defending for a while, his left arm was injured by a hidden arrow, and under the moonlight, blood gushed out like a spring.

Chu Lingze was in pain, seeing that the number of opponents continued to increase, he threw the soft sword to Wen Yu, and scolded: "Take it, don't drag me down!"

"what would you do?"

Wen Yu took it, cut off a few hidden arrows, and saw Chu Lingze waving his long sleeves, the wide robe fluttering in the wind like a ghost, and several black bullets the size of mung beans flew from the sleeves like arrows to the surroundings.In an instant, the screams of several people sounded, the sound was miserable, and it was horrifying to hear.But everyone only yelled once, and there was no further continuation, as if they had breathed their last.

The man in black, who was not affected by the projectile, jumped out from the shadows and slashed at Chu Lingze with a big knife.Chu Lingze stood still with a stern face, staring at every move of the men in black.Just as the sword was approaching, the clenched right fist was thrown into the air suddenly, and ten flying needles shining with cold light pierced the eyes of the five people opposite.

The screams echoed in the deep alley along with the sound of the sword falling to the ground. Occasionally, a few awakened crows echoed in the miserable sound.No one came out in the alley, maybe he was sleeping soundly, maybe he woke up, but his legs were softened by the endless pain of survival and death, and he couldn't get up in bed.

Seeing the blood gushing in the eyes of the accomplices, and the horrible scene of them tearing their hair, scratching their eyes, and crying in pain, plus Chu Lingze's gloomy eyes, all of them fled back dragging their weapons as if they had seen a ghost.

The wailing sound gradually subsided, and the five people who received the needle were covered in blood, their faces had already started to fester, their hands and feet twitched a few times, and finally fell down.

Obviously, those five flying needles were poisoned, and the poison was fierce.It seems that the projectile Aze shot just now is also poison.Wen Yu, who was stunned from the sidelines, held his sword hand in the air and forgot to put it down.

Chu Lingze turned his head and saw Wen Yu's beautiful face distorted with fright, his heart beat violently because of the fight, he withdrew his sinister eyes, held his injured left arm, and put on a rare expression of aggrieved , walked slowly towards Wen Yu.

It wasn't until Chu Lingze walked in front of him that Wen Yu came to his senses and asked cautiously, "Then, that poison..."

"What? I've been in southern Xinjiang for so long, can't I learn to use some poison?" Chu Lingze asked, staring into Wen Yu's eyes.
