After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 29 Xilin Temple (1)
Rong Yu sat curled up in a corner, and it was slowly getting dark. After dinner, there was no light in the room, and the bead chain in Rong Yu's hand gave off a very warm light. Geng's voice pierced into his ears miserably: "... Dangdang... Dangdang..." It was the second watch.Liu Luo was startled, turned over and sat up, muttering: "Is it time?"

Looking up, Rong Yu was still sitting lifelessly like that, after a few hours, even his cheeks were sunken deeply, looking especially pitiful in the night.He originally hated the woman in Cuihuju very much, but seeing her in such a state, he couldn't help feeling compassionate and thought: They are also very pitiful... I don't know how long it will take for her to recover from her condition.

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard someone say: "What's wrong with Zi Shi?" The voice was extremely dry, and it took him a long time to confirm that it came from Rong Yu's mouth. She still maintained the previous posture, her eyes were dull, but Finally opened his mouth to speak, Liu Luo couldn't help feeling respectful, and replied: "Qin Mi saw the words 'the thirteenth floor of the pagoda, three quarters of a child' from the wall, I guess he thought it was a place of treasure, That's why I went there in a hurry, I can't find it at this time, I'm afraid I'll come back and make trouble." Qin Mi pointed a dagger at the wall and didn't let him see it, but he was proficient in lip language, and he peeped at Qin Mi when she was chanting silently.

Rong Yu didn't seem to listen to his words, instead he said: "Is it weird to hear that?"

Liu Luo listened attentively, the sound was not different from what she usually heard, but the frequency was neat, like drumming.He thought to himself: What's so strange about this.After listening to it for a while, his complexion gradually changed. It turned out that the sound of the sound was far away, near and far away, and it was always around the Hou's mansion. Logically speaking, the second watch's drum should have sounded far away.

As soon as his color changed, he couldn't escape Rong Yu's eyes, so he asked: "But the guard you brought?"

Liu Luo shook his head and said: "It must not be, Qin You can trap you and me here, of course there is an arrangement at Xilin Temple. I can't remember who it is for a while, but since this person outside is interested in the Houfu If there is suspicion, there should be follow-up actions.”

Even though he said that, he was really not sure.Both of them are very preoccupied people, and they can't sleep right now, you look at me, I look at you, but neither can speak.

Rong Yu has undergone major changes in one day and one night, exhausted physically and mentally. She leaned against the wall, thinking of the distant imperial palace, Cuihu Residence, and Guanju Palace, which were so far away that they seemed to have happened in her previous life. She felt extremely tired because she had struggled too much. Tired, and the truth is often frightening, she doesn't know what else she will find if she continues to search, she just wants to shrink back to her familiar small circle, socialize with palace affairs, look at flowers, go on a cruise, When the time comes, he will be sent to Guanju Palace, where he will live, grow old, get sick and die, and don't worry about it.As she continued to think like this, she suddenly felt cold on her cheeks, and when she touched them, it turned out to be cold tears. Liu Luo handed over the handkerchief and said in a low voice, "Just cry."

Unexpectedly, it was him who would comfort him in this situation, Rong Yu wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't, he just felt that the arrangement of fate was simply unimaginable.She sighed and said to herself: "Calm down, you have to get out of here alive."

Before the thought was finished, there was a sudden tap outside the window, three long and two short, and then someone asked outside: "Ping Junwang... Ping Junwang..."

Liu Luo went to the window, and saw a man in black. He handed out an iron plate from outside. Liu Luo took it, glanced at it, and knew the identity of the person. " The person outside the window was about to answer when there was the sound of footsteps coming from afar, and he stretched out his hand to take back the iron plate, who knew that after waiting for half a day, Liu Luo handed over the iron plate, so he couldn't help cursing bitterly in his heart, but heard He said: "Go to King Rui!"

The people outside the window wanted to get back the iron plate, but the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, he heard two people coming, one of them had no martial arts, but the other was a master, although he might not be able to fight, but it was really not a fight At this time, I had no choice but to shrink my head, sink down, and jumped down.

When Fang landed here, the door of Langezi had been pushed open. Qin You walked in, lit the lamp, saw the two people on the bed like this, and said with a smile: "If the Pope looks at it, I don't know if King Pingjun is alive or not." Anyway, Empress Rong will definitely enter Guanju Palace."

The two of them shared the same bed, and to outsiders, they were indeed charming, but when the two of them came to this field, they didn't have the time to think about the defense of men and women.

Hearing his viciousness, Rong Yu couldn't help but coldly said: "If the emperor knows about Master Qin's actions, I don't know whether Master Qin will live or not. In short, Miss Su will definitely go back to her old job." These words are even more vicious. , Qin You's face changed, but he was taught by a strict teacher since he was a child, but he still couldn't do such a thing as beating a woman, so he kicked Liu Luo and shouted: "Get up!"

Liu Luo frowned in pain, and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate Master Qin on his return from the treasure."

Qin You's face was very ugly, and she said: "It is said that the lord is good, now I want something from the lord, and I hope that the lord will give it generously."

Liu Luo turned her head to think about it, took out something quickly, and said, "This is what Xiang Xiang wants?" Rong Yu looked intently, and what he took out was a small piece of jade pendant, as green as spring water, with the inscription on the dark side. The statue of Yinglong is a keepsake of the Liu family. Qin Mi must have wanted to enter the Xilin Pagoda, so she asked for it.

Qin You thought it would take a lot of effort to get this thing, and brought Yu Qian here on purpose, but Liu Luo was so straightforward, so she snatched it with her hands, and said with a sneer, "Pingjun Wang really knows the current affairs." So he didn't make things difficult , turned around and left.

Liu Luo waited until the footsteps were far away before getting up, only to hear something heavy fall down, Rong Yu understood at the first sight, Liu Luo just handed over the jade pendant so readily just to cover up this thing, she Looking at it through the moonlight, it was an iron plate with the word "nine" on it, and asked, "Whose token is this?"

Liu Luo said in a low voice: "This thing... Madam, don't ask any more questions, but with it in hand, he won't dare not come to save us."

When Rong Yu heard that he said "save us", he let go of most of his worries, and he said he couldn't ask, so he didn't force it.He just said: "You hand over the jade pendant to him so easily, are you not afraid that he will use it to do evil?"

Liu Luo smiled and said: "I won't hand it in right now, and I will have to hand it in later as if I have suffered a lot. I don't want to be slapped twice." She bared her teeth and made a grimace, Rong Yu knew that he was sure that someone would come to rescue him, so He was in a good mood, and in connection with his previous performances, he couldn't help saying: "Why are you sure that someone will come to rescue you?"

At this time, Liu Luo was facing her back, using the iron plate to reflect the moonlight and shine on the wall. The strange thing is that he didn't see the words "Zi Shi San Mo, the thirteenth floor of the tower", even the previous All the 25 characters I saw disappeared, and I couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Hearing Rong Yu's question suddenly, his body shook. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still answered her: "As long as I can remember, there have been some shadows around me. I don't know who they are, but they have always existed. Some people They always want to kill me, and there are some people who are always waiting to save my life, but I am old and have a solid foundation in martial arts. If I want to, I can naturally shake them off... Actually, I am not sure that he will It will happen, but the chances of it appearing are greater than not appearing.”

He didn't want to go into details, so Rong Yu didn't ask any more, he just speculated in his heart: Who sent these people to him?On the night the empress died, he asked the emperor this question. Who wanted to kill him? He asked abruptly, but the emperor answered brilliantly. He said, "It's not me." If the person who killed him was not sent by the emperor, So the person sent to save him, is it the emperor, King Pingliu, or the queen?If someone has been saving him, then Yangzhou was poisoned, why didn't that person show up, was it because it wasn't urgent enough or was it certain that Zhu Ying would show up?

Liu Luo played with the iron plate for a long time, but found nothing. He took the iron plate back into his hand and inspected it carefully. This was the first time he saw this thing so close.He encountered many assassinations when he was young, but at that time, with his father by his side, nothing particularly dangerous happened. The most dangerous time was when an iron plate blocked him from the back. Throw it out and scold: "Get out!"

He only had time to see the seven characters on the iron plate. He asked his father who he was, and his father said five characters lightly: "Wu Shuang Twelve Swords".Refuse to explain further.Afterwards, he read countless books, and asked some so-called Jianghu people on the sidelines. They all said that many years ago, there was Wushuang City in Jianghu, and there were Wushuang Twelve Knights in Wushuang City, but Wushuang Twelve Swords were unheard of—but I don't know if there is a relationship between the two.But such an organization often takes tokens very seriously, and with the token in hand, they are not afraid that they will not come back to find him.

This iron plate seems to be made of cold iron, it feels cold in the hand, and there are some curved lines on it, like tadpoles, after looking at it for a long time, I thought it was all swimming, and he didn't know if it was text or graphics, he could see it My eyes hurt a little, so I closed them for a while, maybe because I had been looking at them for a long time, the figures were still swimming in front of my eyes, shining golden light in the dark night, spinning and swimming.He felt dizzy, so he put away the iron plate and lay down to sleep. He only felt snakes walking in his veins. Sometimes it was cold, and sometimes it was hot, which made him toss and turn.

Rong Yu was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, so he wanted to shake him to wake him up, and when he got closer, he saw his face with bruised veins, red face, heavy breathing, and sweat rolling down his forehead, Rong Yu was frightened, thinking : What's going on?

She had been in trouble with him several times, and was in the same cell again, unconsciously, she developed a mentality of being dependent on each other, seeing him in such a situation, she naturally felt very anxious, and stretched out her hand to push him to wake up.Unexpectedly, when the hand touched the corner of his clothes, it was ejected a few steps away, hit the low stool, the low stool fell over, and then hit the dressing table, making a bang sound, Liu Luo woke up when she heard the sound, rubbed Seeing Rong Yu sitting on the ground, he wondered, "What are you doing?"

Rong Yu stared straight at the low stool that fell down, and answered him after a while: "Look at this... what is it?"

Liu Luo looked intently, the moonlight was slanting, and there were some characters engraved on the back of the stool, if the light didn't happen to shine from this angle, she would never have seen it.He got up and took a few steps over, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why do I suddenly have strength?"

Rong Yu also said: "Just now you have been sleeping restlessly, I wanted to wake you up, but when you waved your hand, I fell so far - don't say I was poisoned, even if I was not poisoned, I didn't have such skills .”

Liu Luomo inspected his internal breath, found that it was running smoothly and freely, and how different it was from the previous restrained situation, he thought in his heart: It must be the ghost of the iron plate, it is really wrong, but I don't know if it has the same effect on her?

He showed the iron plate to Rong Yu, Rong Yu took it in his hand, and suddenly shivered, the iron plate fell, Liu Luo reached out to pick it up, Rong Yu said: "Why is it so cold!" Liu Luo said: "Don't worry about it, Look at the picture above."

Rong Yu looked at it for a long time, and said: "The lines are very messy, I can't tell what it is."

Liu Luo said: "Look at these lines, do they look like tadpoles swimming?" Rong Yu looked carefully again and said definitely: "No."

Liu Luo thought to herself: That's right, she has no foundation in martial arts at all, she doesn't know the direction of tendons, the movement of breath, how can she understand it in a short while, why don't I go out and ask Aunt Zhu before it gets dark, and then come to rescue her she?He told Rong Yu what he meant. Although Rong Yu felt suddenly lost, he also knew that this was the best way. Liu Luo explained a few words to her, and then told her: "I will definitely come back before dawn. Someone is coming to inspect, you must be careful to deal with it."

Rong Yu nodded in agreement, and asked again: "What if you haven't come back at dawn?"

Liu Luo said firmly: "It's absolutely impossible." He pushed open the window and wanted to jump, then took off the iron plate after thinking about it, and said: "This iron plate has an extraordinary history, if something happens to me, you can hold it in your hand." Look at it, and someone will come to save you."

Rong Yu wrapped his hand with a cloth to take the iron plate, but still felt chilly.

After Liu Luo went out, the room suddenly became empty. At this time, it was only three quarters, and there were still two or three hours before dawn. Rong Yu remembered the words he had just read, and walked over to look again, but the moonlight had already moved away, and the light If the angle is wrong, the text will be invisible. When you touch it, the back of the stool is as smooth as the front.Rong Yu was very disappointed. She tried to lift the bead chain in her hand to illuminate it, but the light was too weak to form an image at all. Rong Yu thought: When I get out of sleep, move all the low stool dressers here back to study carefully. Or earn something.

She retreated to the bed, thought for a while, pulled off a large piece of cloth from the bed, wrapped the iron plate heavily, placed it next to her body, leaned on the head of the bed, and fell asleep without knowing it.

That night she kept dreaming, dreaming that her father and mother were looking at her from afar, and dreaming that Xin Yu was looking for her anxiously, and suddenly Lin Lang pushed her down and said, "Don't keep thinking about the past." He stepped on the ground and yelled "Help!" He woke up as soon as he uttered the sound, and saw Yu Nian standing by the bed, glaring at him, and said, "Where's the Liu family boy?"

Rong Yu looked out of the window, it was dawn at some point, and Liu Luo didn't come back, she seemed to have come down from a very high place, stepped on the air, and suddenly lost her balance.But he didn't reveal anything on his face, he just said coldly: "How do I know, it's you guys looking at him, not me looking at him."

Although what she said was not pleasant, it was true.

After Yu Nian went out for a while, Qin You brought the man in black and Yu Wenyi over. The room was not big and there were few decorations. There was nowhere to hide people. After climbing up the twisted iron railing, it was finally confirmed that Prince Ping had indeed fled.

The eyes of the three were very gloomy, and they looked at each other, but no one spoke.Rong Yu looked at them coldly, not sure how they would deal with him.The air was a bit stuffy, the clouds rolled outside the window, there was a thunderstorm, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

In the end, it was Qin Mi who spoke first, and he said very simply, only one sentence: "It doesn't matter, with this woman in your hands, I'm not afraid that she won't throw a trick at you."

Yu Nian said: "If he can leave her and run away, will he come back and throw himself into the trap?"

Qin You said miserably: "That's not necessarily true." Since the first time Qin You appeared in front of Rong Yu, Qin You had a gentle and refined appearance, even if she spoke harsh words, she was more gentle than others, but at this moment Rong Yu When Yu saw the look in his eyes, what he thought was: that strange man in black robe in Biluo Palace seems to be much kinder than him.

She is not sure that he will not kill her, but at this point, she is just a weak woman, life and death, and there is nothing she can decide on her own - all the tricks and schemes that are proficient in the harem are useless here use.However, she suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone, you should kill me. King Pingjun has no relatives or reason with me, so why would he come back to save me?"

Qin You and the others already doubted her relationship with Liu Luo, the more she said this, the more she suspected that the two of them were selfish, especially Qin You, he thought: When Liu Luo was injured in Yangzhou, she was so persistent, It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not simple. Now that she is in my hands, how can he disregard her life and death... I heard that Liu Luo has a special order from the emperor, and he can enter and leave the palace at will. The child in the stomach also has a lot to do with him.

So he smiled and said: "I don't need to worry about this matter." Yan Bi took out a pair of iron chains to lock Rong Yu to the bed frame, although he could move freely in the room, he couldn't get out of the room.The three of them all went out after winking.Rong Yu sat by the bed for a long time, thinking that there must be someone guarding outside, and then thinking: What is it that stopped Liu Luo?

She didn't think about whether Liu Luo would stop saving her. She had a natural sense of trust in him. He might hate her, but he would never stop saving her.

She walked back and forth in the small room for a few steps, measuring with her feet. This room is ten steps horizontally and ten steps vertically. The dressing table is placed against the wall, three steps left and three steps right. She finds it interesting, so Sitting down on the low stool in front of the dressing table, her face was reflected in the mirror, looking to the left was the wall, looking to the right... When she stared blankly, the wall on the right was densely covered with words.She stood up in panic, then sat down slowly, thinking: What Liu Luo and Qin You saw last night must be the things on this wall.

The writing on the wall seemed to be flowing. When she lost her mind for a moment, the handwriting was different from before, so she collected her mind and read every word.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, large black clouds piled up, billowing, there were constant thunder and lightning, and it seemed that it was going to rain.It was very difficult for Rong Yu to read, the handwriting was only a little clearer when there was lightning, but it was clear and has a panic background, appearing and disappearing from time to time, she couldn't help thinking: What is behind the wall?

There are about a hundred characters on the wall, which seems to be a left book. The person who left the letter is Tang Min, but the name of the recipient is not written.The letter said: I, Tang Min, will fight King Ping Yi in Xilin Pagoda. No matter whether King Ping Yi is alive or dead, I will not survive; Xilin Pagoda is the place where Liu Yi and I are buried. I believe you can understand.This letter, others can't see it, but you can definitely see it, so I have another sentence for you: After I die, let all the past things pass by, and the grievances between the Tang Sect and the Liu family end here, you Whatever you do, follow your own heart, not anyone else.

Rong Yu read it several times before she was able to straighten out the words. She thought: Tang Min doesn't know who she is. The Marquis Mansion is not a place where everyone can come. Her surname is Tang. Could it be that the letter is for Lin Lang? ?She said to let her forget the past and make her own choice. This tone...it seems like her elder. Lin Lang's father died a long time ago, and the Tang Sect was also wiped out. The only thing left is her mother, then Tang Min...the most likely identity is her mother.

Assuming that Tang Min is Lin Lang's mother, knowing that the destruction of the Tang clan and the murder of her husband was related to King Pingyi many years ago, she asked King Pingyi to come here for a decisive battle, and she left such a letter to her daughter with the heart of death. It makes sense... If Tang Min killed King Ping Yi, then the grievances between Lin Lang and King Ping Liu are really impressive. No wonder Liu Luo looked so ugly and refused to tell the truth.But Qin You only saw the words thirteenth floor of Xilin Pagoda and Zishi Sanji. He was eager to seek money, and mistakenly thought it was a place where treasures were hidden... Zishi Sanji, I don’t know what mechanism was set up on Xilin Pagoda. ...but that was all 20 years ago.

20 years... But 20 years later, everyone is still trapped in this situation, and no one can forget it.
