Leisure days in the cold palace

Chapter 19

"Go up from here, go straight and turn right to Chengganmen. Master Fang knows the way."

Jinzhan opened a secret door for us, but she didn't intend to leave with us.

"Jinzhan, won't you go with us?" I asked in amazement.

Jinzhan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better for fewer people to know the whereabouts of Madam and Your Excellency. What's more, what can a person like me do even if I leave the palace?"

"Don't say such things, to be honest, Chunxi is still waiting for us outside." I stepped forward, "Jinzhan, don't you still want to save your family? Don't you want to justify the name of your Liu family? These things , You can only have a chance if you go out. Besides, after experiencing such changes in the palace, I am afraid that some cleaning is indispensable. If you go back at this time, how can you ensure your safety?"

Jinzhan fell silent.

I turned my head to look at Fang Ziqi, and knew that Jinzhan refused to leave with us, and a large part of the reason was because of him.

Fang Ziqi looked at me and nodded, and said calmly: "Let's go together. Even if you want to go back now, for safety reasons, I will not let you go back. If you give us the news that we are not dead, and Let others know of our whereabouts, so what should we do?"

This person can't say a word well, so he has to make people feel awkward.

"I won't say it." Jinzhan frowned.

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense, this man's words are not pleasant, but he doesn't mean that in his heart." I tugged on Jinzhan's sleeve and gave Fang Ziqi a white look.

Jinzhan finally agreed to come down and walk with us, and crawled out along the door of the secret passage. I found that we were in a really ordinary-looking house.

Looking back, it turns out that the entrance to the secret passage is under a bed.

And in front of him, there was a fat man who seemed to weigh more than 200 catties, sleeping with his belly exposed in such a cold winter.

Our appearance woke up the fat man. He jumped up with agility that didn't match his body, raised the incense table beside him, and glared at us: "Who are you?"

"Nager." Jinzhan took two steps forward and called out the fat man's name.

"Huh? Is it Xiao Langjun? What's the matter? I have some poems to sell today?" Seeing Jinzhan, the fat man changed his glaring expression just now, and instead smiled a little naively.

It's just that as soon as I said this, I understood Jinzhan's way of selling goods with poems, but Fang Ziqi was at a loss when he heard it.

Jinzhan glanced at me with some embarrassment, shook his head at the fat man and said, "No, these two are my friends. There are big changes in the palace tonight, and they and I are leaving."

"Oh." The fat man sat down cross-legged. He is about 1.9 meters tall. Standing in front of us like that just now, he looks like a wall of flesh.Now that he sat down, we didn't have to look up at him, "It's right to leave, Mr. Xiaolang, you should have left a long time ago... But, what about the mistress and little lady in the prison?"

"After the new king ascends the throne, it is very likely that he will pardon the world, and I will pick them up at that time. Besides, even if he does not pardon, he can redeem them with money." A trace of sadness flashed across Jinzhan's face, obviously Worried about his loved ones.

The fat man seemed a little happy when he heard the words, he rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Young Lord is right, but if we knew earlier that the new king would ascend the throne, wouldn't it save a lot of money?"

The fat man's speech and behavior are somewhat different from ordinary people, and he seems to have some intellectual problems.

Jinzhan smiled wryly, and did not give him any further explanations. Instead, he bowed to the ground and said, "You two, go out from this room, go straight and turn right, and you will be the south gate of Chenggan Gate. But now, I am afraid that the whole city will be closed." It is already full of weapons, and it may not be so easy to get out."

He didn't use the original titles of madam and lord, naturally to protect our identities.

Fang Ziqi nodded and said to me, "You stay here for a while, I'll pick up Chunxi, and then we can discuss how to leave."

"Okay." I nodded and agreed, "Be careful."

Fang Ziqi smiled, opened the door and left.

After confirming that it was safe, I rushed into the yard almost impatiently, breathing in the free and cold air.

From here, one could see the soaring flames rising from the palace city, and the sound of shouting and killing occasionally came here with the wind, but it lost its reality after all.

It's just that the soldiers who occasionally passed by outside the courtyard are real, and the sound of those iron horses piercing the night sky is enough to make ordinary people feel scared.

I looked at Miyagi, the sky that was dyed orange by the flames, and I felt a little like a world away.

The confinement and desolation that used to be there before are now ignited far behind me like huge fireworks.

And the feeling of freedom also rushed to my face at this moment.

A thought also invaded my mind at this time: I would rather die freely than live imprisoned.

"Jinzhan, what are you going to do next?" I breathed out the free air again, and asked the people behind me with a smile.

"Ma'am, if it's possible, the servant wants to stay in the capital and wait to pick up his mother and sister out of prison."

I also guessed his difficulties, so I naturally wouldn't forcefully invite him to go with me: "Of course it should be, but you are in Beijing by yourself, so you must be careful."

"Madam, don't worry, although Na Ge'er's brain is not very easy to use, but he has good martial arts, and he will definitely keep his servants safe."

"Out of the palace, where are the wives and servants? Liu Shuwen, don't you think so?" I looked at him with a smile.

He froze for a moment, his complexion slowly relaxed, and finally developed into a smile.

I looked up at the neglected night, and smiled at Liu Shuwen, "Do you have any paper and pen?"

"Naturally, slave... I'll prepare right now." He also laughed.

I don't know why, although there is only a wall between Miyagi and Miyagi, I feel that the night wind here is not as cold as in Biquan Palace.

Dip the ink and pick up the pen, I tilted my head and thought for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote:
Drinking at Dongpo at night, I wake up and get drunk again, and when I come back, it seems like the third watch.

The boy's breath is already thundering.No answer to knocking on the door, leaning on a stick to listen to the sound of the river.

I hate this body forever, when will I forget the camp.

The night is quiet and the hub pattern is flat.Xiao Zhou passed away, and Jiang Hai sent the rest of his life.

I saw beside me, Liu Shuwen's eyes were shining.

He has handled many poems written by me, but he has never seen the process of my writing poems.The ancients had seven steps to make a poem. How can I use seven steps in my method of plagiarism?To the point that it can be called the text without adding points, the pen is a dragon and a snake.

only……

"Don't worship me. To tell you the truth, I copied all the words I gave you, and the author is not me at all." I looked at Liu Shuwen's dumbfounded expression, and then edited it a little funny: "In Biquan Palace When I was young, I accidentally found an anthology of lonely poems, and the poems I gave you, including this one, were all copied from where."

As I spoke, I wrote on another piece of paper:
Time has always been limited, and it is easy to ecstasy when parting at leisure.Don't resign frequently at the feast of wine and songs.

The mountains and rivers are full of empty thoughts, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more.It's better to take pity on the person in front of you.

"If Xinjun really didn't amnesty the world, and you need money, you can sell these two poems according to the previous method, which should be enough to redeem people's money. It's just that in the future, he and I will be wanderers. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to meet again... Liu Shuwen, I will watch you from other places. I will watch how you live a good life and how you can justify your family's name."

……

……

Chunxi was carried back by Fang Ziqi at around [-]:[-], and the word "hug" was used because Chunxi had been in a coma the whole time.

Fang Ziqi said that he hid Chunxi in a Chu pavilion.

The reason for this was because he was very familiar with the old bustard of the Chu Pavilion.

After I heard the words, I looked at him curiously. I didn't expect that this cool-looking guy was actually a frequent visitor to the dusty place.

Probably because of the awkwardness of being sized up by me, Fang Ziqi couldn't help explaining to me: "Shuang Wu, don't get me wrong, that old bustard is our fellow villager A Jing, and you know her too. I have nothing to do with her, but since the two Years ago when I knew she came here often, I often went to take care of her, don't get me wrong..."

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently to show that I didn't care, but Fang Ziqi was a little bit in a dilemma.

But now, after all, it is not the time for children to love each other.

After Chunxi was released from the sleepy point, she opened her eyes and saw me, so tears began to flow uncontrollably.

I naturally understand his mood, so I can only hug him at this time to make him feel at ease.

Fang Ziqi and Liu Shuwen were discussing about going out of Beijing. Neither Chunxi nor I knew anything about these things, so naturally we couldn't join the discussion.

Chunxi faced me after crying, he was full of words and wanted to tell me, but he didn't know where to start.

In the end, we can only ask each other a few times if we are doing well, and we can only express our thoughts.

I patted him on the head and told him that the future will be long, and those words in his stomach will be told to me slowly in the future...

We set off at dawn. After all, after the situation in the palace has been stabilized, the new monarch is likely to go door-to-door to search for the remnants of the previous dynasty. It will be even more difficult to escape.

Fortunately, Liu Shuwen knew a secret waterway out of the city, and he could still get ordinary-looking fishing boats.

Saying goodbye to Liu Shuwen and that fat man named Na Geer, we walked forward with difficulty in the mist, and finally got out of the city after several adventures.

At the dawn of dawn, the river bed casts a light golden luster, the dense forests on both sides are deep and endless, and the birds and beasts are vying to welcome a new morning.

I know, I'm free at last.

"You wait here to enjoy the fire, and I will go hunt some prey for our breakfast."

Fang Ziqi also had a smile on his face all the time. At this time, he slapped the sawdust off his hands, stood up, and walked into the dense forest.

Chunxi and I happily prepared everything, that familiar and tacit feeling gave me the illusion of returning to the old days.

"help me……"

When a faint voice came, Chunxi and I were startled, and hurriedly followed the source of the voice to find it.

What I saw was a man in ordinary clothes, but his right leg was wounded by a knife.Probably because of the blood loss, he was in a trance.

Because of the knife wound on his body, Chunxi and I naturally suspected his connection with last night's palace change, but neither of us are cold-blooded people, so we couldn't turn a blind eye to him or ignore him.

But when Fang Ziqi came back with two pheasants, Chunxi and I realized how much trouble the man we rescued was.

"His Majesty……"

Fang Ziqi gritted his teeth when he said these two words.
