The horse galloped in the silent night. After a long time, he Yan stopped the horse.
This is an empty market, and now the peddlers have already gone home. The strong-natured girl had been shaking since she got on the carriage. At the moment, it seemed that the medicine was a little too strong to speak. She was soft and had no strength to say, "let me go."
He Yan helped her off the horse and sat down at the door of a tofu shop.
Just now I was in a hurry, and I didn't really see what the girl was like. Now, with the faint lantern light hanging under the eaves of the tofu shop, it was clear that the girl was really beautiful. It is delicate and soft, white and tender, with delicate eyebrows. It is just that some of the cheeks are chubby, and they look childish. They should be young. At most, they are similar to Cheng Lishu.
Just like this little girl, she was dressed up by the people of Wanhua Pavilion. She was dressed in inappropriate Tulle clothes, heavily made-up and shivered with cold.
As soon as she sat down, the girl shrank back and looked at Heyan warily: "who are you?"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his mind, thinking that the girl was about to recognize himself as a philanderer. He pulled off his face towel and said with a smile, "don't be afraid. I'm here to save you. It was just inconvenient to show up just now, so I covered my face with a cloth towel. Didn't scare you? "
Under the moonlight, the young man who pulled off the cloth towel has a beautiful eyebrow and a soft voice, which makes people gradually put down their guard.
"How do you know..." She still had some difficulty in speaking. Heyan felt a paper ball from his sleeve: "this one you threw out was picked up by me. I've heard about the business of forcing good men into prostitutes in Wanhua Pavilion. I've been hiding in the teahouse next to Wanhua Pavilion, and I'll take your carriage with you all the way. "
He Yan looked at the girl: "are you ok? They didn't hurt you, did they? "
It's OK not to say that. As soon as she said this, the girl's eyes suddenly turned red. She held out her hand trembling, but she saw that her ten fingers were so swollen that she didn't know what it was.
Even if the girls in the brothel, especially the new comers, don't know the rules and the lessons to be learned, the mother will not use the method that will leave traces on her body. After all, the girl still wants to go out to entertain guests. If her body is blue and purple, and the guest's appetite is knocked down, the gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, he came up with such a torturing method.
He Yan looked at some heartache, whose daughter was so spoiled, parents would be heartbroken. She softened her voice a little bit and asked, "girl, where is your home? Take me home first. "
"Home?" The girl was stunned for a moment and looked at Heyan. After a long time, she replied, "my family is in shuojing..."
"Shuojing?" This next turn He Yan is stunned, "are you abducted?"
"I think so." The little girl said: "I was, I was escaping from marriage. I wanted to go to Yangzhou, but I made a mistake and came to Liangzhou. I just wanted to stay in Liangzhou for a few days, but I didn't expect to be seen by sun Ling." She hated: "if I go back to shuojing, I will see them well!" At the end of the day, almost gnashing one's teeth.
He Yan said ... "
the little girl is too brave to look at her. How dare you run from shuojing to Liangzhou? What's the matter? Nowadays, young girls in Beijing are in favor of escaping marriage, aren't they? Cheng Lishu is like this, and so is this little girl at present.
He Yan said, "are you here alone? Is there anyone you know in Liangzhou, where you can settle down? "
The little girl shook her head.
He Yan is also in trouble. Such a big man, should he take her back to the inn. Xiao Jue should not have killed herself, although in a few days they will go to the house of Sunzhi County for a banquet, although she just intercepted a person from the son of Sunzhi County tonight.
The little girl seemed to see he Yan's embarrassment. She sat up with difficulty, and she had backbone. She bit her lips and said, "you You don't have to worry about me. I'll just hide myself next. Your great kindness, when I return to shuojing, I will let my parents repay you. Whatever you want, gold and silver jewelry, luxury house, beauty, you can. What's your name? I'll go back and... "
"Little girl, you are now difficult to protect yourself," He Yan Fu forehead, "can you walk out of Liangzhou city is hard to say, don't mention so far things."
"So what?" The other side avoided her eyes and said with red eyes, "I won't ask you anyway."
All the young masters and young ladies from shuojing are full of temper. Heyan thought that being strong is a good thing, but it's not so good just after easy folding. If Cheng Lishu was here, he could bend and stretch. If he entered Wanhua Pavilion, he would be able to avoid a lot of flesh and blood.
He Yan pulled her up: "let's go?"
"To where?"
"To me, of course. This girl, "He Yan said helplessly," I just robbed you. I think that after a while, young master sun will search the whole city for your trace. In such a big night, you have nowhere to go. In the end, you are not found by sun Ling. He will only torture you even more. I have worked hard all night. Is this the result? "
The little girl had no strength. She was held on by Heyan and hesitated: "if you take me home, it will bring you trouble. The sun family covers the sky with one hand in Liangzhou. You... "
The little girl's heart pour is menerqing, he Yan drives a horse way: "you don't worry, my home is in big Wei still only hand covers the sky."If you can't, I'll move Xiao Jue out. Mr. Xiao can't cover the sky with one hand in the Wei Dynasty.
He Yan asked: "forget to ask you, what's your name?"
"My name is Pottery. " She said.
Pottery? The name sounds familiar. It seems that he heard it somewhere. He Yan thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember it. Now the situation is urgent, and it's not the time to make such a fuss. Wait for Tao Tao Tao to be sent back to the inn. After tonight, I'll ask you carefully.
……
Heyan did not grow up in Liangzhou City, nor did he know the road of Liangzhou city. Fortunately, she was used to recording the way, and found the inn when she came. For fear of finding sun Ling's horse here, far in front of the inn, he dismounted with Tao Tao Tao, patted the horse's buttocks in the opposite direction, and watched the horse run into the night.
The second young master Xiao is very good at choosing the inn. It's not as lively and quiet as the area of Wanhua Pavilion before. At this moment, there are almost no people at night. When Heyan helped Tao Tao up the stairs, there was no one downstairs. She opened the door and found that Fei Nu was not there. She was relieved.
There was water in the room. He Yan said, "wash your face first. I have some clean clothes here. You can change them. You can't wear this on you. You'll catch cold She put a large pile of clothes that Cheng Lishu gave him and put them in Tao Tao's hand. "You can choose what you like to wear."
Tao Tao looked at her and blushed, "you go out."
He Yan then remembered that he was a man now, and said, "OK, I'll go out. I'll watch at the door. You can change your mind."
Xiao, don't want to shut her head outside the house.
The light in the room has gone out. I wonder if Xiao Jue is asleep. He Yan said softly, "Dudu, Dudu?"
No one responded. She reached out and knocked on the door again. No one answered. He Yan stood up straight, hesitated for a moment, and opened the door.
The windows in the room were not closed, and the wind was leaking in. Looking at the moonlight, the bed was neat, and no one had ever slept. Xiao Jue is no longer here, nor is the drink autumn sword he put on the table. The man kept the sword in his hand. I think he went out.
He Yan also noticed that on the small table next to him, there was the familiar evening fragrance lute. He Yan skimmed his lips, and his heart was filled with anger. He said that he came to practice the piano. In fact, he must be doing something confidential in Liangzhou city. Feinu is not here. The master and servant must have gone out on business. They don't take her at all. They just don't trust her.
Although Xiao Jue had known for a long time that Xiao Jue didn't trust him and that it was reasonable, he Yan still felt a little uncomfortable. Anyway, they were classmates. They had known each other for so many years. When they went out to work, she would not tell anyone else! It's stingy.
She withdrew from Xiao Jue's room and closed the door for him again.
At that end, Tao Tao had already changed his clothes. He pushed the door open and saw he Yan. He bowed his head and said, "I've changed it."
He Yan pushed her forward, "hush" a, "walls have ears, come in and say."
She turned on the light in the room, and Tao Tao changed Cheng Li Su's clothes, which made her look more beautiful. Cheng Lisu's clothes are mostly bright colors. The long robe of Xiang color is worn on the girl's body, which makes the little girl more white and beautiful. Her eyes were still red, and her hair was spread over her shoulders. She was as good as the snow-white rabbit he had seen before. At first sight, she was a girl who had been raised by a rich family.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, but you have such a bad taste in clothes." When the rabbit talks, it's not so cute. Tao Tao frowned, pointing to a carp on his clothes, "it's really vulgar."
He Yan said:
This young lady, when is it that she still wants to observe clothes? Is it true that all the young ladies from shuojing are like this? He Yan thought that he was not like this before. She coughed softly and said, "at present, if you have to, Miss Tao Tao has to slow down the matter of clothes first."
She handed Cheng Lishu a box of hairpins: "first choose one that you don't think is so gaudy. Tie up your hair. Now you can't dress up as a woman."
"Why?" Tao Tao is puzzled.
"Sun Ling should send someone to search for women who look like you in the whole city. We are not immune. "
Tao Tao smelled the speech and became nervous, "what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I'll try to get them away. It's so late. Haven't you eaten yet? I have some dry food on the road. I'll ask the inn to make some hot food for you tomorrow morning. There is still tea here. If it's cold, you can help yourself. "
Tao Tao felt hungry just after touching his stomach. He went to pour the tea in the teapot. He Yan sighed in his heart. If this girl is really simple, she is still so easy to believe others when she passes through the Wanhua Pavilion. If she had not met her own, she would have been abducted by someone who had evil intentions. If she had not cheated, she would have given medicine in the tea without any trouble.
In those years, although he left the Hejia alone, he followed the Fuyue army and was not so dangerous. This world, for women, is always more difficult.
She thought to herself that she wanted to hide it from Xiao Jue, but now Xiao Jue and Fei Nu are not here, so it's not easy to do it. Originally, she planned that if sun Ling's people came to the door and Xiao Jue was there, she would not go into the house to look up people. Now that the Buddha is gone and Xiao Jue's name is taken out, others may think she is lying.I can only expect Xiao Jue to come back earlier. He Yan never found that he had been looking forward to the return of Mr. Xiao for a moment.
Tao Tao casually ate a few dry cakes, drank a cup of tea, and then said, "no more." From the expression of her disgusted wrinkled nose, this "no eating" is definitely not because she is full, but not to her taste.
She sat down at the table, tied her hair in front of the bronze mirror, combed it for a moment, then turned around and said, "OK!"
He Yan felt thirsty at the moment. He took a cup of tea and almost didn't spray the tea. The child's hair was so tangled up that it looked as if he had just come back. She couldn't help asking, "you Is it a tie? "
"They didn't comb their heads in the mansion before. They were all groomed by servant girls." The little girl was very aggrieved and threw the comb, "I can't!"
He Yan said:
She had no choice but to go over and pick up the comb with a good temper and said, "no, it won't be. I'll help you if I get angry."
After that, he really held Tao Tao's long hair in his hand and combed her hair once and for all.
Tao Tao is stunned. The young man in the bronze mirror is gentle and handsome. She can't help asking, "do you even know this?"
"Just try a few more times." He Yan answers with a smile.
She has been the eldest master of the he family for many years, but the change of her identity is unknown to all but the second room of the family. Therefore, he Yan's servants and servants should never be too close to her. Even if you tie up your hair, you may get sunken. So he Yan from a very young age, began to bundle his hair.
It's not just a haircut, but anything that might reveal a secret, she has to do it on her own. As time goes by, they also develop a kind of disposition of doing everything personally. Although I sometimes envy those young masters and girls who are held in the palm of my hand, I think, for example, when I meet this kind of thing today, she won't cry. For many things, she has a lot of confidence on her own.
After the hair was tied, he Yan blackened her face and roughened her eyebrows. She has been very good at dressing up as a man. After making up, Tao Tao looks at herself in the mirror and says, "thank you very much You are a good craftsman. "
He Yan clapped his hands, "practice makes perfect. Miss Tao Tao, turn your back and I'll have to change my clothes. "
……
The city of Liangzhou is really lively tonight.
Someone actually robbed the carriage of young master sun in a place not far from the house of Sun Zhi county. The man in the carriage was a concubine newly accepted by young master sun. For a moment, the government of Liangzhou was flying and swearing to catch the thief.
"Young master, young master, that man is clearly her lover!" The guard, who had just received a blow from Heyan, is kneeling on the ground and yelling, "they are a group, and they deliberately rob her!"
"She's not from Liangzhou at all. Where did she come from?" Sun Ling kicked in the past, "fool!"
Sun Ling is now in his thirties and has achieved nothing. He lives by pointing to his county magistrate's father and bullying men and women in Liangzhou city. He gave birth to a rabbit head with a black birthmark on its cheek, which was even more terrifying. There were countless concubines in his family, and countless good women who had been bullied and humiliated by him. The people of Liangzhou dare not to speak up and allow his father and son to cover the sky in the city.
Today, she was intercepted on her way home. The woman's business is small, and her disgrace is great. For sun Ling, this is naked and she doesn't pay attention to their grandchildren!
"Now the gate is closed." Another guard said, "the woman was injured and should still be in the city. Door to door, you can always find the whereabouts! "
"Fool," Sun Ling scolded again, "when are the people in Liangzhou so bold that they dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head! Since you say that person knows it's my sun Ling's person and dares to do it, he is naturally a person who knows nothing about life and death. Most of them are not from Liangzhou. "
"That woman is not from Liangzhou. They may be in a group." The former guard said again.
"No matter whether he is a group or not, if he dares to fight against my sun family, he must be prepared to die or die! What did the man look like, you repeat
"He was blindfolded and could not see what he looked like. He is about seven feet shorter than me. He is thin and thin, but he is very rich and expensive. The material of his clothes is not ordinary "In a word, it should not be the poor."
Sun Ling thought for a moment and said, "I know."
The two guards looked at him.
"The people in the city continue to block the city gate, and the rest of the big head, follow me to check the inn!"
"Inn? Young master, why is this? "
Sun Ling scolded: "a fool is a fool. I don't want to think about it. Since most people are not from Liangzhou, they are staying in the inn! You said that the man was well-dressed and could not live in a humble inn. Would you look for those good and expensive Inns
"So it is," two guards quickly praised: "young master wise, young master wise!"
"Hum," Sun Ling said with a proud smile, and the birthmark on his cheek became more terrible. He measured: "in Liangzhou City, I haven't seen such a person who is not afraid of death. I'd like to see who is so bold. And that slut, I really don't know how much I'm doing. I'm afraid I don't know what I'm doing"Don't let go of any of them!"
……
The night in the city seems to be illuminated by torches. It was supposed to be the time to sleep. Every household was awakened by the sound of horse hooves. The Yamen and the city guards rushed into the civilian's houses and investigated them in turn.
It should not be, but it is not a day or two for the sun family to abuse their private rights. Hearing that sun Ling's concubine was taken away, many people scolded him secretly.
"Bah, nonsense. Where did the concubine come from? Even if you don't look up to her, she must be an innocent girl. What's the difference between this kind of behavior and a robber? The robbers have to choose to start at night. Who dares to rob so openly
"But isn't he taken away? It's a righteous man who can't look down on it
"If you are really a righteous man, I will pray for his safety and health in front of the Bodhisattva every day. Don't be caught by someone surnamed sun!"
"Well, the world has changed."
Naturally, these voices did not dare to appear in front of the officers and soldiers. They just whispered after they left. They quickly dispersed into the night without any trace.
The inns in the city were also attacked tonight. The shopkeeper's assistants and the guests upstairs were all pulled out for investigation. If it seems that the family is rich, it is more careful to cross examine, even a fly is searched in the house.
He Yan is sitting by the bed, the light has been turned off, only a little moonlight comes through the window. Now it's late at night, Xiao Jue and Fei Nu have not come back yet. She thought to herself, are these two people not coming back? Just like those families with poor families who can't afford to raise extra children, they take their little son to the crowded street and cheat them to buy sugar. In a flash, the people are gone and their bones and flesh are abandoned on the roadside.
Xiao Jue abandoned her? Then she is too pitiful! With only such a small amount of money, the hotel will have to pay for the room tomorrow, have to eat, and go back to Liangzhou health station. Is this what people can do? If that's the case, tomorrow she'll sell the Nightingale next door. He Yan thinks wildly about whether this person will come back or not. If he doesn't come back, she and Tao Tao just have a room for each other tonight, which is not a waste.
Just thinking, Tao Tao Tao, who was also sitting on the edge of the collapse, whispered, "you won't run away, will you?"
"Ah?" He Yan was surprised.
"They said that sun Ling was very powerful in Liangzhou, and everyone was afraid of the power of the sun family. I have asked for help with many people before. When they heard that it was Sun Ling, no one dared to help. "
Tao Tao said this with indignation. At that time, she was exiled in Wanhua Pavilion, which was not calculated at the beginning. Struggling on the road, he took the opportunity to ask for help. She looked for a lot of people, including strong men who looked tall and powerful, and scholars who looked at the full mouth of propriety, righteousness and shame. There are rich businessmen who can be her father, and chivalrous men who travel around with swords on their backs. She tried to find those who seemed capable of saving her, but when they heard that sun Ling wanted them, they walked away with their tails in their hands. Even if she promised to give up her identity, no one paid attention to her.
In the end, Tao Tao himself was in despair. When the note was thrown out, she didn't even think about tomorrow. I just want to see sun Ling and die with him. Who knows, at the last moment, someone rushed out.
She turned her head to look at the people on her side. The teenager tilted her head and didn't know what she was thinking. It was strange that such a frail and young person would have an inexplicable sense of security. Maybe it's the soft smile on her face, or her clear eyes without dust.
Tao Tao believes this man inexplicably, but he is worried. She said, "the strong dragon can't beat the local snake..."
"And you know that?" He Yan laughed, "in fact, I am also a local villain, I am very powerful."
When Tao Tao saw her relaxed, she also relaxed a little. Looking at Heyan, she couldn't help asking the last question. She asked, "the sun family are so domineering. You are not from Liangzhou, and you don't know what kind of trouble you will bring if you save me. They don't dare to do anything. Why did you save me? "
This child, why so many problems. Heyan side head, see the little girl's eyes red looking at her, curious and expectant, can not help but reach out to touch her head.
"Because you are a woman." "And I am also a woman," she said in silence
……
The noise besieged the whole inn.
The night was glowing with fire, and all the people in the inn were awakened by the sudden officials and stood at the door for questioning.
Sun Ling stood at the door, his eyes fell on the last room upstairs and said, "what about that room? Why don't you open the door? "
The shopkeeper's trembling to knock on the door: "young master, young master?"
After a long time, someone came to open the door slowly. He was a delicate young man. He was wearing an inner garment. He was sleepy and said, "it's so late. What's the matter?"
Before the words fell, the officers and soldiers went in and searched. There was also a schoolboy in the room, who was busy dressing the boy: "young master, don't get cold."
The officers and soldiers went in to search, but failed, and soon came out and shook his head to sun Ling.
Sun Ling looked at the young man in front of him. He was young and looked well cared for. His schoolboy was busy putting on boots for him.
"What are you doing?" He Yan frown, "a greeting does not say.""Say hello?" Sun Ling sneered, "joke, Liangzhou city does not need my sun Ling to say hello." He looked at Heyan and remembered what the guards said before. He was about seven feet tall and thin. That's exactly what happened to this teenager.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Cheng Lei su." He Yan replied.
"Pa" a sound, the schoolboy's boots did not hold steady, fell to the ground, people with their eyes to see, sun Ling look a change, suddenly said: "you, raise your head."
He was referring to the schoolboy.
He Yan was not good at heart and asked, "what are you doing? Do you want to rob me in broad daylight? "
"Your men?" Sun Ling was staring at him, his eyes were overcast, "don't talk too early. The one on the ground, look up to me
The people on the ground did not move. They lowered their heads and looked carefully. Their hands were still shaking.
Seeing this, sun Ling looked more and more ferocious. He went to pull the schoolboy's hair. The next moment, he Yan block in front of the schoolboy, she holds sun Ling's arm: "this childe, pay attention to your words and deeds."
"You are the assassin who robbed me of my concubine?" Sun Ling laughed, birthmark such as demon ghost tattoo, "you are dead!" He said, "come on, catch them both for me!"
"Catch me?" He Yan laughed, and she said, "I advise you to think twice before you act. Do you know who my uncle is? "
Sun Ling asked, "who is your uncle?"
"My uncle is Mr. Xiao, the second son of Xiao, who is now the commander of the right army. Are you sure you want to catch me He Yan raises eyebrows.
Sun Ling was stunned and laughed for a moment. His tears of laughter were coming out. He pointed to Heyan and asked the people around him, "did you hear him? Who did he say his uncle was?"
Everyone around me laughed.
"Stinky boy," Sun Ling stopped laughing and glared at Heyan: "since your uncle is Xiao Jue, you can let him out! What happened to Xiao Jue? Today, in front of your uncle, I will tell you that there is no way for you to live or die! "
"Is it?"
A strange voice came from behind him.
Sun Ling looked back and saw the young man, who was as bright as the moon, came slowly with the bodyguard behind him. His voice was low, with a cold mockery.
"You may as well try it."
