Xiao Heng never expected that he would fall out of the crowd. How long has it been since he encountered such a thing
When encountering a robber, the robber can be crushed to death by a plaque, and when encountering a thief, the thief can be hit by a passing carriage...
Does it mean that once you change back to men's clothing, you will be unlucky again
This is going to be stepped on by a horse's hoof, and I don't know how to die.
Fortunately, because everyone flocked to see the wife, the road on the street was narrow, and the speed of the carriage was forced to slow down slightly.
You still have time to get up and leave.
Xiao Heng supported the ground with his hands, resisting the pain in his knees and stood up.
But as soon as I took a step, I didn't know what I stepped on, the soles of my feet slipped, and I fell down!
I fell down on my horse, this is really-
"Ah! Not good!"
The driver really didn't expect this man to get up, and he fell down again!
I can't slow down anymore...
Besides, who is to blame if I brake too fast and throw my wife out
The guards lined up on horseback to escort the carriage on both sides, and it was too late to restrain the horse.
At the critical moment, a blue figure jumped up from the front and flew over the heads of everyone.
Even though the distance was extremely far, he came to the carriage in the blink of an eye.
He didn't stop, he stretched out his slender and powerful hand at an extremely fast speed, grabbed Xiao Heng on the ground, and swept forward.
He couldn't stop because he was saving people too fast.
"Ah! He's about to crash into my wife's carriage!"
"oops!"
People just didn't dare to look at it.
However, what he was worried about did not happen, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Xiao Heng and flew over from the top of his wife's car.
The two landed on the street behind the convoy.
In the crowd, someone recognized the identity of this person and exclaimed: "It's Daoist Qingfeng!"
"It's really Qingfeng Daochang! Qingfeng Daochang has come down the mountain!"
"Master Qingfeng hasn't gone down the mountain for five years, right? It's still the same as before, nothing has changed."
"Daoist Qingfeng is really handsome!" In the attic, a girl said madly, clutching her handkerchief.
Another girl beside her hummed disapprovingly: "What is so handsome with a bull nose! There are no women in his eyes at all! I think the young man who was rescued by him is even more handsome!"
"That's not it! Daoist Qingfeng is the most handsome!"
"That son is the most handsome!"
Xiao Heng stabilized his figure, and the other party let go of his hand.
Immediately, Xiao Heng looked at each other.
When he heard someone call him Taoist priest, he thought it was an elderly Taoist priest, but he was a young man in his twenties.
The other party was wearing a blue Taoist robe, immortal and Taoist, his face was like jade, his eyes were clear, and his whole body seemed to reveal a Taoist meaning that was isolated from the world.
In fact, it's not that the environment is quiet, but that when he is around, the mentality is peaceful.
Xiao Heng thanked the other party, "Thank you Daochang for helping me."
The other party seemed to be immortal and unattainable, but in fact he had no pretence. He cupped his hands and returned a salute to Xiao Heng: "You're welcome."
It is a voice that does not enter the world and does not eat the fireworks of the human world.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
As if he had done nothing great.
He was heading in the opposite direction of the princess' carriage, yes, he came from the east just now, and it is normal to go west now.
Xiao Heng looked at his back, then turned to look at the west end of the long street. The wife's carriage and guards had already left, and gradually disappeared in the long street.
Different from Daoist Qingfeng's courageous actions, the indifference of the concubine aroused a burst of anger among the people.
"After so many years, it's still as domineering as ever!"
The one who spoke was the middle-aged man who had just queued up in front of the meat store. He was older and had heard more about the events of the year than the juniors present.
So a young man asked him, "Was the madam used to be domineering?"
The middle-aged man clicked his tongue: "In the early years, when a carriage hit a person, it is not uncommon to kill someone in the street. If she was not born to be a daughter, and the Queen and Xuanyuan's family supported her, she would have never known that she was killed by the monarch. How many times have you been deposed!"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! She beat a child to death in the street! The child was only five or six years old! He was so tall! Come to me!"
"Oh, what a sin!"
"Why did you say she came back?"
There were endless discussions among the people, Xiao Heng knew the power of the rumors, but it was difficult to tell the truth from the false.
The crowd did not disperse so quickly, but it was not as lively as before, and the people around them hurriedly went about their own business.
Xiao Heng stood on the long street, watching the direction in which the wife's carriage was leaving.
I don't know if it was his own delusion, but the moment he fell in front of the carriage, a line of sight that could not be ignored seemed to fall on him.
…
The dried meat just bought was already dirty, so Xiao Heng went to buy a new one.
He felt that there should be nothing to do next, but something unexpected happened.
The moment he turned around with the meatloaf, he bumped into Nangong Li who came out of the iron shop across the street.
Nangong Li saw Xiao Heng at a glance.
The carriage was just a few steps away from Xiao Heng, but before Xiao Heng got on the carriage, he walked back and entered the shop selling dried meat.
Nangong Li frowned.
"General, what's the matter with you? The carriage is ready." said the guard on the side.
Nangong Li took a deep look at the shop: "I saw someone, you asked them to wait for me here, go around and block the back door of the shop selling dried meat, and don't let anyone out!"
"Yes!"
The guard quickly crossed the street and went around the back door of the store from the alley.
Nangong Li stepped into the shop.
The sleeve of Nangong Li's right arm was empty, which would inevitably attract attention when walking on the road.
The owner who sold dried meat came over and asked politely, "Master, are you here to buy dried meat?"
In fact, he didn't open the shop, he just rented the spot by the door, and inside the shop was a restaurant.
Nangong Li ignored him and walked towards the lobby.
Nangong Li looked fierce, and his aura was cold. The owner of the dried meat did not dare to pester him and continued to return to the stall to sell dried meat.
Nangong Li wandered around the lobby, but did not find Xiao Heng. He came to the back door and asked the guard, "Can someone go out?"
The guard shook his head: "If you go back to the general, no one will go out since I've been here."
Nangong Li searched all over the restaurant, even the stove and the latrine, but Xiao Heng was nowhere to be seen.
Nangong Li was sure that he was not mistaken.
That person just now is Xiao Heng!
Have you come to Yan Kingdom, Xiao Heng
It's true that there is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you break in!
If you are hiding in Zhao Kingdom, I can't do anything about you, but when you come to my territory, don't blame me for clearing up old and new hatred with you!
"General!" The guard looked at Nangong Li with a strange expression.
Nangong Li said proudly: "Let me check with this general, who are the people of Zhao Kingdom who have come to Shengdu recently! I'll go to the Prince's Mansion!"
The guard saluted: "Yes! General!"
Nangong Li paused, thinking of something, and smiled coldly: "Especially give me the key to check these two names, Xiao Liulang, Gu Jiao!"
…
In Tianqiong Academy, all the students of Mingxintang had an indescribable day. After school, everyone did not dare to stay for a moment, and left the classroom in a swarm.
When Gu Xiaoshun came to his sister, he found that the classroom was empty.
He scratched his head: "Huh? Everyone is so active in eating today?"
Gu Jiao handed the book bag to Gu Xiaoshun: "I'm going out for a while, and I won't go back for dinner."
"Going out again? What should I say when Gu Yan asks?" Gu Xiaoshun was not afraid, but he was afraid that Gu Yan would catch him and ask him.
Gu Jiao said, "Just say I'm going to Tianxiang Pavilion and come back at night."
Hearing that he was just going to Tianxiang Pavilion, Gu Xiaoshun felt relieved, Tianxiang Pavilion was where Gu Chengfeng temporarily lived, and it was very safe.
He responded: "That's okay, sister, you go early and come back early."
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay."
Gu Jiao came out of Tianqiong Academy and hired a carriage to sit near Tianxiang Pavilion, and the rest of the journey was by foot.
She was very vigilant along the way, making sure that she was not being followed before entering Tianxiang Pavilion through the back door.
Xu Fengxian was sitting in the backyard and scolding Gu Chengfeng: "Humph! I have such a big temper every day! After a while, he will not see this master, and then he will not see the master! Who does he think he is! Is the king of heaven!"
Ginkgo weakly tugged at Xu Fengxian's sleeve.
Xu Fengxian threw off her hand impatiently, and continued to complain: "What? Did I say something wrong? I don't spend money on such a big theater? If he dares to slap the guest's face again tonight, I will kick him out of here. go out-"
Only halfway through the last word, Xu Fengxian felt a dark shadow shrouded her head.
She looked up and said, "Mom!"
She was so frightened that she fell off the stool and sat on the ground.
Ginkgo bravely helped her up.
She gritted her teeth softly: "Why didn't you remind me when he came?"
Ginkgo said aggrieved: "I reminded you, you don't listen."
Xu Fengxian scolded the ghost, smiled and squeezed out a flattering smile: "Yo, the little son is here, please take a seat! Quickly, please sit! Ginkgo! Serve tea to the little son!"
"Yes!" Ginkgo hurriedly went to check.
Xu Fengxian stopped her again: "Wait while you stay here, I'll make tea!"
She would rather work than stay and bear the wrath of the young boy.
However, Gu Jiao didn't seem to have any intention of asking the teacher for guilt, so she said "I'm coming to him" and went upstairs.
Xu Fengxian's body softened, and she slumped on the stool. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and said with a lingering fear, "I'm scared to death... I'm scared to death... I just saw that there was no one at the door... How did it grow out... "
Gu Jiao went upstairs.
Gu Chengfeng is now prosperous in the theater, not only has his own luxurious large wing, but also several servants who can be dispatched.
Xu Fengxian complained, she was really reluctant to let her drive away Gu Chengfeng, a cash cow.
Gu Chengfeng is reciting the script. These are the words of the play written in the old sacrificial wine book, and the story is also in the book, commonly known as the play within the play.
I have to admit that the dramas written by Lao Jijiu are wonderful, with bizarre twists and turns, and the most important thing is that the ending of each drama is stuck in everyone's throats, which is heartbreaking and sleepless. , can't wait to see the next one.
The business of Tianxiang Pavilion is so good.
With more guests coming, Gu Chengfeng was naturally more at ease in inquiring about news.
But tonight he doesn't plan to inquire about the news, he's going to see if the girl is back.
Gu Jiao stepped into the room when he just put down the booklet in his hand.
"You..." Gu Chengfeng came back to his senses after a while, looked her up and down, hurried over to close the door, sat down with Gu Jiao at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said solemnly, "When did you come back? Why did you go? Long?"
Gu Jiao said, "I came back yesterday, but I encountered a little thing and was delayed."
"A little thing?" Gu Chengfeng grabbed her hand, lifted her sleeve, looked at the bruises on her arm, and said angrily, "Is this a little thing?"
There have been bruises for so many days in the past, and you can see how swollen it was when it was injured.
Gu Jiao pulled her hand back: "You think of a way to contact Xiao Heng and let him know that I'm back safely."
Gu Chengfeng hummed, "Did you come to me just to report that kid's safety?"
"Neither." Gu Jiao said.
Gu Chengfeng's eyes lit up, hurry up and say, I will also give you peace!
"And ask what you have heard about recently." Gu Jiao continued.
Gu Chengfeng's face darkened.
…
Shengdu theaters are prevalent, and opening a theater is easier to survive than opening a brothel, which is why Xu Fengxian changed the brothel into a theater.
The men who go to the brothel are all men, but the men and women who come to listen to the play are not taboo. Even if the play is good, even the father-in-law of the palace will come to cheer.
The inner city is strictly managed, and it is easy to meet acquaintances. Over time, the outer city has become the best choice for guests.
In the past few days, Gu Chengfeng has really heard a lot of news.
"Shengdu has been very lively recently. The concubine has returned, and some disciples and staff members of the aristocratic family who have traveled and practiced have also returned. The only ones I know are the Feng family's Qingfeng Daoist, and the Han family's Han Shizi's master Qi Xuan."
Gu Jiao heard a familiar name: "Qi Xuan? Is that Qi Xuan from Tangmen?"
Now, Gu Chengfeng was surprised: "How do you know?"
Gu Jiao snorted and said, "I played against him."
Gu Chengfeng was startled: "You, did you fight with him? You were injured by him? Are you not disabled? That guy is not easy to mess with! It is said that his martial arts skills are extremely high, and he is a guy who even the National Master Hall should give three points of courtesy. Why did Han Shizi become the number one master of Shengdu's generation, all thanks to Qi Xuan!"
Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, he didn't hurt me, he just left after two strokes."
Gu Chengfeng asked in confusion, "Then how do you know he is Qi Xuan?"
Gu Jiao said: "Nan Shi Niang said, Nan Shi Niang knows him."
Gu Chengfeng has been in contact with Nan Shi Niang so many times, and he probably understands that the other party has a background. He asked curiously, "Who is Nan Shi Niang?"
"Qi Xuan's former junior sister." Gu Jiao said truthfully.
Gu Chengfeng's mouth suddenly opened wide.
Qi Xuan's former junior sister, isn't that also from the Tang Clan
Girl, what kind of master and wife did you find for Gu Yan
Gu Jiao has not been in contact with the Feng family for a while, so she is naturally not very interested in the Taoist Master Qingfeng. In contrast, she cares more about Qi Xuan: "Qi Xuan is actually a staff member of the Han family."
Yep.
A raccoon dog on a hill, it won't be easy to fight in the future.
Thinking of the reason why Gu Jiao left Shengdu, Gu Chengfeng asked, "You said last time you wanted to confirm one thing, did you confirm it?"
"No."
She didn't see his wife.
Gu Chengfeng: "It has something to do with Xiao Heng?"
Gu Jiao: "Yeah."
Hmph, he knew that this girl would die for Xiao Heng.
Gu Chengfeng said sternly: "I don't care if you come back safely this time, don't do this thankless thing again next time, it's impossible for the princess to deal with the prince. Do you know why the princess suddenly returned to the capital? ?"
Gu Jiao shook her head.
Gu Chengfeng said: "Actually, there are many rumors among the people, some say that the King of Dayan wants to execute his wife, and also that the King of Dayan wants to pardon his wife, and there are even rumors that the King himself calls her his wife. , it's all fake! It's the concubine who wants to come back!"
"Can she go back if she wants to?" If Gu Jiao remembered correctly, the princess seemed to be imprisoned in Guanshan to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"Of course not. This is the inside information that I found out with great effort!" Gu Chengfeng said with a solemn expression, "My wife... lost her memory!"
…
Dayan Palace, on a secluded and messy path in the southwest corner, a little palace maid with a basket of wild fruits stepped on the setting sun, panting to a dilapidated and dilapidated bedroom.
This used to be the most popular place in the Dayan Palace, but now it is not even a small place.
The little palace maid came to the door: "Too..."
I just said a word, I realized that the title was wrong, I changed my mouth and said: "San Gong..."
Still not right.
In the palace, the slightest carelessness will lead to the end of the death.
The little palace maid thought for a while and had to shout, "Master, I have brought back the dinner!"
However, no one responded to her.
The little palace maid bravely stepped over the threshold and came to the front yard overgrown with weeds. The weeds had not been trimmed for a long time, and they were already half a person's height. From time to time, something quickly ran through the grass. I don't know if it was a wild cat or a mouse.
The little palace maid's face turned pale with fright.
She is a new palace maid this year, and because she did not show respect to the aunt in charge, she was assigned to such a place to serve an ex-wife who had long been deposed.
It was said outside that the monarch had recalled the princess, which is not bad, but the reason for the recall was not that the monarch finally remembered the princess.
But the princess was attacked in the imperial mausoleum a few days ago.
I heard that the group of assassins cut off the bridge, just to not give the wife a chance to escape.
The daughter-in-law fell into the lake and escaped, but she did not expect that the daughter-in-law would lose her memory after being rescued.
Not only that, the group of people was extremely vicious, and they even destroyed the imperial mausoleum.
If only a waste princess was assassinated, the monarch might not be so mobilized, but destroying the imperial mausoleum would be like shaking the dragon veins of Dayan.
The servants next to the princess have all gone to accept the interrogation, and no one is waiting to send her, the newly entered palace maid, here.
This is the dormitory where the third princess lived before she was canonized as the concubine. After the conspiracy of the concubine's conspiracy with the Xuanyuan family was convicted, everyone around the concubine was executed.
The little palace maid did not dare to get up in the middle of the night after moving in, for fear that she would accidentally run into some dead soul.
"Master... Where have you been, Master? Master..."
The little palace maid was so anxious that she couldn't find her wife, so she was sweating.
"It won't happen, right? Although she's a waste woman, if something happens, I'll have to be buried with you..."
The princess, whom the little palace maid was anxious to find, was sitting in a nearby pavilion at the moment.
The pavilion is built on a short hillside, surrounded by railings on three sides, east, west and south, and more than ten steps to the north.
The pavilion is a bit high, so the view is wide and the wind is excellent.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the pavilion. The woman was wearing outdated and simple folk clothes, and a blue silk hairpin was slanted behind her head with a wooden hairpin.
Just looking at her clothes, she is no different from a folk woman, but she is the former princess of the Dayan royal family.
"I heard that Huangjie is back. I should have come to visit Huangjie earlier. It's just that I've been busy with official business for the past few days, so please forgive me."
The man who spoke was the man across from her. He was less than forty years old. He called her imperial sister, but he didn't look as young as her.
"I heard that you are the prince." She said.
The prince smiled: "Yes, after the imperial elder sister was abolished, the father and the emperor set up the solitary prince."
"Oh." She turned her head slightly, looking at the palaces and a lush orchard on the side, "When was there an orchard there? I remember it was a lotus pond, and I had someone dig it."
The crown prince said cheerfully, "My father has ordered people to fill it up."
"Oh." She snorted again and lowered her eyes, "I really like the lotus flowers there."
The prince said, "Sister Huang, look, you still remember what happened in the past."
She shook her head slightly and said softly, "I only remember before the age of seventeen."
"Really?" The prince picked up the tea cup on the table and took a light sip, "Then what does the emperor remember?"
She looked further afield: "I remember my mother and uncle, as well as the eldest cousin, second cousin, third cousin, eldest cousin, cousin and cousin."
The prince looked at her deeply and said, "The mother passed away."
She nodded lightly, as if numb, and as if resigned: "Well, the new little palace maid told me. And the Xuanyuan family is gone, I'm a widow, my father doesn't favor me anymore, I'm here Be careful in the palace, or you may die at any time."
The prince did not let go of any of her expressions: "Sister Huang, don't say that, you still have the father, the emperor, and the lonely."
She said softly, "Mother Han is very kind to me, and second brother, you are also very kind to me."
The prince smiled: "It's all right."
She stopped answering and continued to enjoy the scenery in the palace, as if she had been away for too long and suddenly returned, and she was not enough.
The evening wind blew across her beautiful face, making people jealous that the years had not left any carving marks on her face.
The prince backed away the eunuchs and palace maids who were guarding on the steps: "You all step back."
"Yes!"
The palace people retreated to three houses.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone into her eyes, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have a lost galaxy of stars.
It is these eyes, these eyes that are exactly the same as the blood of the Xuanyuan family, even if they are not angry, they can feel a pressure that seems to come from the soul.
"Emperor sister." The prince called her.
But she didn't look at the prince, she still admired the scenery she wanted to enjoy: "You talk a lot today, I want to see the scenery."
The prince looked at her for a moment, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Sister Huang, have you really lost your memory?"
She sighed, "I can't help you if you don't believe me."
The crown prince suddenly smiled: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that what happened to Huangjie is too unbelievable. Huangjie, there is no one else here, so you don't need to hide with Gu."
"I didn't hide it," she said.
The prince sneered: "Really? Then when I asked the imperial sister what she remembered, the imperial sister said about her mother and her mother's family, but she did not mention her only blood. Have you forgotten your own son?"
She shook her head: "I said, I have forgotten everything after the age of seventeen."
The prince stood up and leaned towards her across the stone table: "Sister Huang forgot, it's better to be alone as a younger brother to help the elder sister recall her memories. Sister Huang, you suddenly disappeared from the Yan Kingdom when you were seventeen years old. Then you have a child with someone, and that child is called…”
"I remembered, it's Huangfuqing." She said with a smile.
"No." The prince said a name in her ear.
She didn't move.
"It seems that Huangjie really doesn't remember anything." The prince smiled and straightened up, "It's getting late, so I'm leaving."
After all, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion and was about to step down the steps, when he suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something, and smiled casually, "I forgot to give the greeting to the emperor."
He walked back and took out a bag of dried meat wrapped in paper from his arms and placed it on the table.
"I bought it on the street that Huangjie walked through today." He smiled meaningfully: "Is Huangjie still satisfied with this gift?"
"and many more."
When the prince was about to leave the pavilion, she called out to him.
The prince turned around and looked at her with a half-smiling smile: "Did the royal sister suddenly remember something? For example, what should be told to the father and what should not be told to the father?"
She shook her head with a smile: "Neither, I just remembered that I also brought you a gift."
After speaking, she slowly came to the prince and smiled at the prince.
The next second, she stretched out her hand and pushed the prince down the steep steps!
