I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Mo Yunxiao was startled suddenly, and couldn't help sneering: "Li Yingxiong has a big tone, and he returned the profits of one or two canals. Why don't you ask you to wear a dragon robe and be an official!"

Li Erlang smiled and said, "Tokyo's three major canals will not be frozen, and the goods that go back and forth throughout the year are incredible. How can we not be jealous."

Mo Yunxiao also put on a straight face and said, "I have no control over this matter, and I can't promise you rashly."

Li Erlang sat cross-legged by the bonfire, he laughed and said: "Since that's the case, we can't help you find your sister, the eldest girl can go by herself." .

Mo Yunxiao's face was immediately covered with a layer of green frost.The last time she was ridiculed like this was in Prince Jian's Mansion, Zhao Siyi made it difficult for her by guessing delicacies, and the last time she was ridiculed was when Liu Dadao captured herself, and everyone in the Beggar Clan laughed at her.

She endured those two times, but this time she didn't intend to do that.Because what was involved this time was not only his own face, but also his sister's life.

So she took two steps forward and said to Li Erlang: "As the saying goes, you have to tie the bell to untie the bell. This matter started because of you, so you naturally have to pick it up on your shoulders. Don't you want to shrink your head? turtle?"

Li Erlang laughed, and was about to ridicule Mo Yunxiao again, but before he could say anything, Mo Yunxiao took a step forward, grabbed his right pulse door with one hand, and pulled out his right ankle with his left hand. A hidden dagger.

Everyone panicked, but before they could react, Mo Yunxiao twirled the dagger around his fingertips, and under the sound of the wind, the dagger was already on Li Erlang's throat.

Mo Yunxiao pulled out his saber and turned it, and put the blade against his throat. It was done in an instant. All the people present were dazzled by seeing it. When they realized it, their leader was already under the control of others.

Li Erlang was even more pale and flustered, he said expectantly: "Miss Mo, you have something to say, why do you need to do this?"

"Huh! Talking is easy, but things are hard to do. Get up!" Mo Yunxiao pulled him up and walked out of the temple step by step, saying as he walked, "If you have any tricks, I'll just stick at your throat." If you cut the knife shallowly, you won't die until the blood dries up."

Li Erlang was sweating profusely when he heard this, so he could only nod his head again and again: "I understand..."

Zhang Di led people to ambush outside, and was about to listen to Mo Yunxiao's sounding arrow and rush forward, but saw her come out with the leader of the thieves, and all the subordinates followed closely behind.

Zhang Di rubbed his eyes, and when he confirmed that he was right, he couldn't help but turned to the soldiers beside him: "Mo Yunxiao, is she... is she still a woman?"

"Miss Mo!" Li Erlang looked around in a panic, and said, "Are you going to take me to save your sister like this?"

"Huh! Zhang Di!" Mo Yunxiao called out loudly, and in the dark night Zhang Di subconsciously responded "Yes!"

After answering, he regretted it, thinking that it was not the official who called me, why is he so attentive?But since he had already agreed, he could only take people and kill him out of the bushes.

The thieves became flustered when they saw the imperial army, and many of them threw their weapons and turned around and ran away.

An archer opened his bow and set his arrows, and released three arrows in a row, and the three thieves fell in response.

Everyone was even more horrified when they saw it, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy, and dared not run away again.

"Mo...Miss Mo, you want to arrest me and bring me to the court?" Li Erlang asked.

Mo Yunxiao only sneered, and then told Zhang Di: "Disarm them!"

With a wave of Zhang Di's hand, more than 40 soldiers of the forbidden army gathered around and confiscated all the weapons of the thieves, and blocked the left and right paths to prevent them from escaping.

Only then did Mo Yunxiao let go of Li Erlang, and said, "You lead the way, take us to see Wan Nailin. If the errand is done well, I can save you from death."

Zhang Di cast a questioning look at her, as if to say, "Why do you make the decision?" But he was forced back by Mo Yunxiao's more stern gaze.

Li Erlang had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, thanking Mo Yunxiao for not killing him.

……

Li Qingzhao cried for a long time before gradually accepting it. Zhao Mingcheng's clothes were wet from her tears, but he didn't say a word of complaint or urging.

Li Qingzhao let him go gently, and asked with tears in his eyes, "Will I be rude if I do this?"

Zhao Mingcheng smiled wryly, and said: "We suddenly suffered such a catastrophe, and it is reasonable for the lady to lose her composure."

"But..." She curled up and sobbed, "How can we explain to He Lu? These dead soldiers are all members of the imperial court. How can we be worthy of the imperial court and these undead?"

The more she talked, the more sad she became, and gradually she began to cry again.

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly came to comfort him: "Miss Li, don't be afraid, if He Lu is to blame, I will take care of it alone."

Li Qingzhao looked at him in surprise and said, "What if my father punished me?"

"I will come to the door to clarify, and I can't blame you for this matter." Zhao Mingcheng said firmly.

"But what if the officials blame it? Can you bear it? If you bear it, you will be beheaded."

Zhao Mingcheng puffed up his chest and said, "No matter who it is, I will do my best to bear it."

With tears in his eyes, Li Qingzhao asked again: "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I am a man, a man is like a big tree, and a woman is like a flower and grass. The big tree should cover the flowers and plants from the wind and rain." Zhao Mingcheng said: "He Lu asked me to take care of you. Only by repairing the dead sheep can we live up to our trust.”

After hearing his words, Li Qingzhao hesitated for three seconds, then suddenly burst into tears again.

Zhao Mingcheng turned pale with shock, quickly covered her mouth, and reminded: "Young lady, don't do it, if you invite thieves, you and I will die."

Li Qingzhao nodded before he let go.

Li Qingzhao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes indiscriminately, and said: "Although it is inappropriate to say this at this time, I am afraid that I will never know again after I die, so I want to ask you at this moment."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Mingcheng was a little puzzled.

"You said that you were entrusted by He Lu to take care of me." Li Qingzhao said: "Then, you won't hesitate when He Lu tells you to go through the fire?"

Zhao Mingcheng smiled slightly and said, "That's right. However, I only have admiration for He Lu, and I have no personal love for men and women."

Li Qingzhao was taken aback, and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Mingcheng sighed in vain, and explained: "He Lu already has someone in mind. Although I, Zhao Mingcheng, am penniless, I am ashamed to intervene. Besides, He Lu has no intention of doing anything to me. It is only because I am passionate that I have caused so many embarrassing incidents. It's a joke. After thinking about it, I will never have a chance with He Lu."

"Then...then...then..." Li Qingzhao suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked, "If He Lu didn't tell you to take care of me, would you still be like this?"

Zhao Mingcheng raised his eyebrows and said, "That's natural. You and I are walking together, and we should take care of each other. What I just said has nothing to do with Helu. It's been a man's way of taking care of a woman since ancient times."

Li Qingzhao pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I won't let you suffer alone. No matter the rain or snow, you and I will bear it together."

Zhao Mingcheng nodded, and helped Li Qingzhao to stand up, but when he got up, he suddenly yelled "Ouch". Li Qingzhao was taken aback, and when he looked again, he saw that he had been shot in the calf of his right leg. The arrow, the blood flowed unstoppably.

"Ah?" Li Qingzhao helped him sit down again, and said, "You are injured, why don't you speak?"

Zhao Mingcheng smiled miserably, and said: "I only felt the sting when I was hit by the arrow, but I didn't feel it afterwards."

"What should I do?" Li Qingzhao looked around, falling into a helpless situation.

Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "The "Like a Dream Order" written by Mrs. Li's family is very good, can you sing it to me?"

"Which one?" Li Qingzhao asked in a tearful tone.

"It's the song 'Last Night's Rain and Wind Sudden'." Zhao Mingcheng said.

Li Qingzhao was so angry that he even laughed out loud, patted him lightly, and said, "What time is it, do you still want to listen to the song?"

Zhao Mingcheng smiled and said, "If you don't listen now, I'm afraid you won't listen to it in the future."

Li Qingzhao was even more sad, crying: "I don't allow you to say that, I have to fill in many words for you, you have to listen to each song, if you don't listen to a song, you won't die."

Li Qingzhao searched around and suddenly had an idea.She ran to a dead soldier and dragged a long gun.

She moved another rock and smashed the gun head hard.Zhao Mingcheng saw it, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Li, what are you doing?"

"Make you a crutch, otherwise, I can't carry you on my back."

……

Although he didn't close his eyes most of the night, Yun Xiang still didn't feel sleepy at all.She was sitting in front of a clean and tidy big bed, reaching out to touch the quilt made of soft linen. Although it was not as good as the quilt at home, she was very satisfied to be able to sleep on such a bed under such a torrential situation.

She was in a room that was not spacious, and the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was only a bed, a table, and a large tub for bathing, without even a decent curtain or screen.

Although Yun Xiang didn't want to worry about these things, she was still full of doubts.What she especially wanted to ask was why she came here.

Just then, the door was pushed open.The scholar came in with a bowl of steaming porridge.

He put the porridge on the table and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, come and have a sip of this chestnut porridge. The products from the country people are not as good as the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the Minglou. Please be careful."

Yun Xiang walked over, turned over the chestnut porridge a few times with a spoon, and asked, "Zhao Lang, what is this place? Can you protect us well?"

The scholar smiled and said, "This is the home of a friend of mine. Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

"But aren't you a student who came to Beijing to catch the exam?" Yun Xiang asked suspiciously: "How do you have friends in Tokyo? You have friends, and you will be taken care of when you come to the capital. How can you fall into the hands of thieves? "

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "This friend is a family friend of my family. He used to be an official, but now he has declined, so he hides his name in this countryside. I didn't want to disturb when I came, so..."

Yun Xiang slapped the spoon on the table heavily, and said angrily, "Zhao Lang, why don't you tell the truth to this slave?"

The scholar was stunned, and asked, "Why didn't I tell you the truth?"

Yun Xiang bit her lip and said with tears in her eyes: "You come to take the exam, you have neither gold, silver nor official status, why did the thieves rob you? Since they robbed you, you didn't go to the city to report to the officials, but brought slaves here Here, so calm and composed, how can you look like a poor kid?"

The scholar was speechless and had to remain silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Xiang shed tears even more sadly, and said: "Since I called you Zhao Lang, I gave up my life and innocence to you. But you hide it from me everywhere, what do you want me to do?" Trust you?"

The secretary sighed, and said, "I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would get burned. But since you are asking, I might as well tell you straight. I am not a son, but the thirteenth son of Emperor Shenzong, the current Jian Wang Zhao like."

"Ah?" Yun Xiang gasped, got up in a panic and backed away, and was finally blocked by the bed, and sat down on the bed.

Zhao Si said: "The thieves hijacked me. Naturally, they wanted to force me to rebel with them. I refused to be treated by them. However, I got acquainted with Xiang'er because of a blessing in disguise. When I was down and down, I got such a beautiful woman." Confidant, even if I die now, I am willing."

Yun Xiang turned around and said, "Everyone says that King Jian is a flowery dragon, a frivolous villain who is addicted to sex, is it true?"

Zhao Si smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the overlord of Chu is such a hero, isn't he also said to be self-willed by later generations? Second girl, do you think I look like a frivolous person?"

He said that he was going to lean over, but Yun Xiang shouted loudly: "Don't come here!"

Zhao Si stopped, sighed again, and said, "That's no wonder, I'm a dead end now, Second Miss, don't let me waste your golden years."

Yun Xiang just sobbed and didn't speak.

"However, the sky is not clear at this time, girl, you can rest here, and it will be dawn in another hour, then I will take you home."

After Zhao Si finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned his head and said, "Xiang'er, you are more likable than your brother-in-law. It is enough for me, Zhao Si, to know you. .”

"No!" Yun Xiang suddenly rushed over, hugged him from behind, and cried, "Don't go, I'll be scared if you go."

"But a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, so it's not suitable for etiquette." Zhao Si said.

Yun Xiang shook his head and said, "Let this slave be a red maid."

"Red Flying at Night" tells the story of a concubine under Yang Su's account in the late Sui Dynasty who fell in love with Li Jing at first sight and bravely eloped.

When Yun Xiang said this, he clearly intended to live and die with Zhao Si.Unexpectedly, Zhao Si opened her hand little by little, and said: "But I can't be Li Jing. I am a person who wears a crime, and you and me will be implicated for the rest of your life."

Yun Xiang shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to be with you. I don't care if you are King Jian or a fugitive."

Zhao Si finally turned around, hugged Yun Xiang tightly in his arms, and asked, "Do you not regret it?"

"No regrets."

Zhao Si picked her up, put her on the bed lightly, then kissed deeply on Yunxiang's cherry mouth, and slid his hand towards her belt.
