***North Korea has a vast territory, and the climate varies greatly from place to place. Although the summer in the capital is not the hottest, the spoiled dignitaries still can't bear it. Naturally, ice becomes an indispensable thing to relieve the summer heat, and the consumption in the palace is huge.
Winter is an important season for making ice cubes. In order to meet the needs of various palaces in time, the nearest choice must be considered when transporting. Therefore, more than 30 large and small ice cellars were built in the palace, scattered throughout the palace. Jingling Palace used to be an important place for many important courtiers to gather for public affairs. There are also ice cellars nearby. Although it covers a small area, it is extremely suitable for punishing people.
Bu Qingyi was escorted by the administrators of the four academies to the outside of the ice cellar, opened the cellar door on the ground, and walked down more than 20 steps before he really entered the ice cellar. There was no ice stored in the ice cellar, but it was still very damp and cold. The administrators of the four academies were shivering with cold, but bu Qingyi looked like nothing happened, and his face was still ruddy.
"You go up first. It's too cold here. I'll check it below and I'll come up to you later. " One of the younger administrators of the school is of great help to the other three.
The three left in a hurry. The administrator of the school was relieved. He turned back and bowed to bu Qingyi deeply. He said excitedly, "my next officer, Tan Xiping, has been helped by the old doctor of Menglin. When I learned that something had happened to the Lin family, I was rescued by the princess. I always wanted to find a chance to repay the princess. So no matter what the princess needs, please tell me. I will try my best to do it! "
Bu Qingyi didn't expect that when she was in the first grade of junior high school, she moved her heart to save lead China, and the blessing newspaper has continued to this day.
The administrators of these four schools should take turns to stay outside the ice cellar until Zhu Changyang's punishment is over. If there is any mistake during this period, these four people should also bear the corresponding responsibility and punishment. Bu Qingyi thought a little, and then said to tan Xiping, "is there any broken silver on manager Tan?"
Tan Xiping directly pulled off the silver belt around his waist and honestly gave it to bu Qingyi: "I don't use much money in ordinary days, and I don't have much money on my body. Can you see these are enough for the princess?"
"It doesn't need so much. One piece is enough. The size doesn't matter." Inadvertently, he took out a large piece of broken silver from his purse and gave it back to tan Xiping. "In addition, there is another thing. Please do as I said."
Bu Qingyi whispered in Tan Xiping's ear, and Tan Xiping showed a puzzled expression. But he didn't ask too much, bu Qingyi told him to keep it in mind one by one, and left the ice cellar as if nothing had happened.
"Well, are you all set up? That girl won't do anything in it, will she? " One of the stewards nuzui toward the ice cellar door.
"There's nothing wrong with her. She looks quite honest." Tan Xiping pretended to be careless and said, "by the way, I just remembered that my daughter-in-law said she was a little uncomfortable. She asked me to go back earlier and take her to the hospital, so..."
"You want to run for a post, don't you?" The three stewards looked at each other, each tacit, looked at Tan Xiping together, and made a gesture of picking up the copper plate, "a little wine and meat to pass the time, it's not a problem to take the first post for you."
Tan Xiping took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and threw it to him with a wry smile: "you three, let's take it as my treat."
After getting the silver, the three men stopped pestering Xiping. Tan Xiping went back to jingling palace and told Zhu Changyang a leave. He left the palace in a hurry. It took about two quarters of an hour.
Bu Qingyi is bored and meditates in the ice cellar. She estimates that the time is almost up. She walks to the door of the ice cellar and carefully pushes the door open.
There were only two administrators guarding the school at the gate. The other wanted to go to the prison to buy wine from the eunuch. The two men were chatting with their backs to the ice cellar, and they didn't notice a crack in the cellar door on the ground. Bu Qingyi took out the broken silver borrowed from Tan Xiping, placed it on his middle finger, aimed at the rockery in the distance and forced it to pop up.
The broken silver ejected so fast that the two administrators didn't see it at all. Until the broken silver hit the rock and made a sound, they followed the sound and looked there.
The sunlight reflected on the broken silver reflected a soft luster, which in their eyes turned into a good meal and wine, or a spring House song, or a beautiful smile. Coincidentally, they ran towards the rockery with a happy face, and didn't even look at the land behind them.
The ice cellar is not far from the rockery. The administrators of the two academies quickly run to the rockery to pick up the broken silver and then return to the ice cellar. It takes only two or three words. After they returned, they took a look at the ice cellar door. Compared with before, they didn't go down to check it. After all, in their opinion, it's impossible to escape from the ice cellar and escape from their sight in such a short time.
Their ideas can't be said to be wrong, but they are limited by their narrow vision and don't know that people with excellent lightness skills can come and go in a flash.
At this time, bu Qingyi was far away from the ice cellar. She chose to walk on the sparsely populated path to prevent people from being recognized. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyi often took her for a walk in the palace two days ago. She knew the general route very well. Although she took the wrong way twice, she didn't waste much time looking back in time.When Bu Qingyi rushed back to the inn, it was half an hour before the door was closed.
"What about the others?" At the sight of the joyful Qianhua, bu Qingyi asked in a hurry.
"Master Mo? He's gone! " Happy and anxious, Qian Hua pointed to the South and urged, "they have an appointment to meet at the south gate and set out before sunset. Now they should be on the way to the south gate! You go, there's still time to catch up! Come on! Don't dally
"Don't push me, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry..." Bu Qingyi complains and goes out. Suddenly, a bamboo chopstick cage comes from behind and hits her in the back of her head.
Along with it came the roar of lead China.
"Who is the eunuch? If you don't chase me back, I'll make you a eunuch tonight! "
In the surprised eyes of passers-by around, bu Qingyi, who was unable to laugh or cry, untied the horse tied outside the door, jumped on the horse and walked away.
As the sky darkened, small businesses in the shops began to make preparations, and there were more pedestrians on the road. Bu Qingyi tried to control the horses to avoid pedestrians and galloped to the south gate at an amazing speed.
Once Mogui leaves and the gate closes, she has no chance.
There are no shops near the south gate, which is desolate compared with other gates. An open channel runs across the gate. The open channel must pass through the arch bridge facing the south gate. On weekdays, the children of luanxuege often meet at the side of the arch bridge, and their agreement is here.
Turning the last turn, bu Qingyi's eyes immediately locked on the arch bridge, and soon found the familiar figure in the crowd.
Her heart beat fast.
In time, he hasn't left yet.
He's still here.
Bu Qingyi couldn't tell whether she was happy or nervous at this time. She suddenly forgot what she was ready for. She just wanted to get to Mo GUI quickly, even if it was only one step faster, just a flick of her fingers.
As the sun goes down, the drum rings.
The soldiers in front of the city gate began to yell, urging the process of leaving the city to speed up. Mo GUI and others also got on their horses and prepared to leave. At this time, bu Qingyi was still a hundred feet away from the arch bridge. She was so anxious that her mind was blank that she didn't even remember whether she had called out the name of Mo GUI.
The original rapid heartbeat is more intense, to the extreme, it seems to have stopped beating in general, and it seems even to have stopped breathing.
In Bu Qingyi's eyes, in his mind, there was only ink returning to his back.
Wait for me.
For the last time.
Bu Qingyi's equestrian skill is not very good, but at the end of the hundred Zhang distance, she just like a skilled rider, just let the ordinary horse run out of the speed of a good foal.
Finally, when Mo GUI and others rode onto the arch bridge, she shortened the distance to ten Zhang.
The familiar figure seems to be within reach.
"Mo, give it to me -"
boom -
envoy Bu Qingyi tried her best to shout out, but her call didn't reach Mo GUI's ears. Just as she spoke with hope, a loud noise completely drowned his voice.
Fire, smoke.
The sudden rise from the arch bridge caused a panic scream around.
The horse was scared to stop by the huge noise, and bu Qingyi forgot to urge her. She sat on the horse and looked at the front, looking at the flame and smoke that wrapped Mo GUI's figure. For a moment, it was difficult to determine whether what she saw was true.
"Gunpowder! It's gunpowder
"What about the people on the bridge? I saw a lot of people on the bridge just now
"The bridge collapsed, even if people were not killed, they would fall into the canal and drown!"
The people gradually gathered around and looked at the arch bridge where the disaster suddenly happened, and talked about it. In the face of such a huge disaster, no one will pay attention to a woman riding a horse. She is either frightened or stunned, or desperate or some other expression. Who cares?
It was not until the soldiers who rushed over from the South Gate began to put out the fire and pulled out a few burnt black bodies, that Bu Qingyi woke up from the great shock.
Her throat seems to be blocked by something, unable to make a sound; she forgets the simplest dismounting action, and falls directly from the horse to the ground, covered with dust; regardless of the obstruction of the surrounding people, she staggers towards the crackling fire.
What about Mo GUI?
Where did he go?
Said to protect her life, he is not ready to fulfill his promise?
No, he's so smart, so tough, he's also shouldering the mission of revenge for Gu. How can he die in such a ridiculous disaster?
He must
The fire was just around the corner, the cheeks were hot, the eyes were tingling, and there was a smell of burning from the eyebrows and hair.
The three soldiers tried their best to restrain Bu Qingyi, which prevented her from stepping into the fire. However, bu Qingyi's eyes were still fixed on the messy arch bridge. In addition to the broken bridge, she could not tell whether it was a man or a horse, or a charred shirt or a curly sword.She knew that. She remembered that the sword was always hidden in Mogui's waist. It was his favorite weapon.
Next to the sword was a charred broken arm.
The strength of all four limbs seemed to be burned away by the fire. Bu Qingyi knelt down on the ground with a soft and plop.
He Did she abandon her like Gu Zhaoxi?
