Da Suining

Chapter 164
The boy didn't lie either.

The horses pulling the cart were frightened and disobedient, almost in a state of madness.

With his own strength, how can the boy control it?

Besides, the boy was so frightened that he cried for his father and mother, and his condition was not much better than that of the crazy horse.

If this continues, I don't know where I will be dragged.

Taking advantage of the horse hitting the steps, Xiang Suining decided to give it a go.

She tried to get up, but couldn't stand in the carriage.

"Girl, what's the matter with you, girl, girl, don't worry about it." Mingzhu was in a hurry, and she tried to hold the rein, but it was of no avail.

The carriage bumped into a big rock and stopped suddenly. Xiang Suining felt an invisible force behind her, as if a pair of big hands pushed her violently. The force was so strong that she flew out of the car.

The moment she flew out, she saw the frightened look on Mingzhu's face and the astonished eyes of the onlookers.

It flew several meters high, and the bottom was covered with hard bluestone slabs.

If you fell on it and hit the ground face first, it would probably be disfigured.

If the body hits the ground first, it may break somewhere.

Whether his life can be kept or not depends on good fortune.

At this moment, Xiang Suining saw a man in black stepping on the roof of his carriage and flying out. With one hand behind him and the other holding a knife horizontally, he stepped on the roof and moved forward from the roof. Stepped on the horse's back, walked forward along the horse's back, walked up to the horse's head, and used the horse's head as a fulcrum. As soon as he exerted his strength, he jumped into the air. His black robe spread out layer by layer, like a flower Black flowers bloom against the dark clouds.

Xiang Suining felt heat on her waist, it was the man in black who hugged her.

The golden crown tied his hair, bright eyes and bright teeth, and the black clothes made him look stern and elegant.

It is blue fading.

Actually met him here.

Isn't he still sick?
How can it take off?

Xiang Suining had many words in his mind, but looking into his eyes, he couldn't say a word.

Lan Tuo hugged Xiang Suining in his arms, and fell down, then landed on the horse again.

He hugged Xiang Suining with one arm, grabbed the rein with the other, turned his hand, and put Xiang Suining across the horse's back, leaning on his shoulder.

The horse ran around the bridge platform and stopped obediently.

The horse, which was crazy and uncontrollable just now, did not know what method Lan Tui used to make it so obedient, it didn't even neigh, it was very well-behaved.

Mingzhu watched all this, it all happened so fast that it was dizzying.

God bless, if it wasn't for Lan Tui's rescue and Xiang Suining's hard fall, we don't know whether he will live or die.

"Boom——" the dark clouds in the sky rolled quickly, like a pot of black rice porridge was cooked, and they kept stirring with a spoon.

Accumulating more and more, dark clouds spread over Qingcheng like sliced ​​purple eggplants.

Very depressing, very dull.

People looked up at the sky, and a bolt of lightning came out, lighting up the dark clouds.

The lightning was long and bright. As soon as the lightning passed, the thunder rang out with a loud noise of "Boom—boom—" which could shock people's ears.

The child was frightened and cried by the thunder, and his parents hurriedly took him away: "It's going to rain, why don't you bring an umbrella, go home quickly."

The crowd began to surge, you stepped on me and I stepped on you, it seemed that it was too late to go back, and it was about to be drenched.

When the thunder came, the rain came.

The bean-sized raindrops fell one by one, the rain was floating in the sky, and the thunder of "Boom—" did not stop.

Xiang Suining quickly reached out to cover his ears.

Lan Tui put the knife back into the scabbard, and stretched out his hand to cover Xiang Suining's ear.

"Master Xiaolan—" Xiang Suining blushed.

She leaned against Lan Tuan's chest, Lan Tuan didn't speak.

I can only feel his warm chest and his even breathing, his breathing has a sweet smell of mint.

His hand covered Xiang Suining's hand, and Xiang Suining raised his hand like a surrendering soldier, but his heart was beating wildly.

Lightning and thunder echoed each other in the sky, and the dark clouds were overwhelming, spinning, and wandering.

I only feel that for a moment, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and several dynasties have passed.

There are fewer and fewer people gathered under the overpass to watch the excitement, after all, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Lan Tui got off the horse, supported Xiang Suining, and waited for her to get off.

The rainwater is bubbling and hits the smooth bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound of "popping".

Lanfa's hair was wet, and there were raindrops hitting his face. On his lips, water droplets dripped from his chin, dripping onto his cross-collared black robe. Inside the black robe was a white tunic with a neckline. Ruyi patterns are embroidered with silver thread.

"I... didn't expect to meet Master Xiaolan here." Xiang Suining blushed, "Miss Xiaolan saved my life again today, great kindness..."

Originally, I wanted to bow my knees to salute Lan Tui.Unexpectedly, Lan Tui directly supported her arm, but took three steps back, bent her body, arched her hands, bowed her head and saluted Xiang Suining: "Young lady said so, how can I bear it. My life is still saved by the young lady." Yes, the girl is so kind and virtuous, and I will never forget it. From now on, if the girl needs it, just say it, and Lan Fai will die."

"Master Xiaolan is too polite... In fact, Mr. Lu also helped you a lot when your illness was cured. I heard from the princess that she never went to the palace to ask the imperial doctor again. The medicines are all prescribed by Mr. Lu."

"Lu Yu is of course credited. The prescription he prescribed is very good. I drank it and it is very useful. But if it wasn't for the girl's blood...if it wasn't for the girl who saved me, those medicinal materials are just a pile of firewood to me. , thanks to the girl, the medicinal materials can be the icing on the cake."

Xiang Suining could only be blessed: "I saved Master Xiaolan's life, it's nothing, Master Xiaolan don't need to take it to heart. It's just... I'm..., didn't you scare Master Xiaolan?"

"It doesn't matter whether the girl is a human being or anything else, they are all Lan Tui's close friends, why would Lan Tui be afraid?"

"Master Xiaolan is cured, but after all, she has suffered a serious illness and it is natural to be weak. Why don't you spend more time recuperating?"

"The law and order in Qingcheng is not good, the emperor is a little worried, and I want to come out and have a look."

"Girl, Mr. Lan, it's raining heavily, why don't you get into the carriage to shelter from the rain." Mingzhu ran up.

Lan was wearing a black robe, Xiang Suining was wearing brocade clothes, the two stood facing each other, talking with smiles.

He looked into her face, and she looked into his eyes.

The wind and rain didn't seem to bother the two of them.

Mingzhu couldn't bear to destroy this picture, but the rain was so heavy, wouldn't it be silly to be drenched?

"I took the liberty, but I forgot that it was raining." Lan Tui was a little embarrassed: "Miss Xiang, hurry up and hide in the carriage to hide from the rain."

"What about Master Xiaolan?"

"The carriage is spacious, the girl and Master Xiaolan should hide together. We will leave after the rain stops." These two people pushed each other, and Mingzhu had to jump out to direct.

The two got into the carriage, Mingzhu and the boy waited with arms crossed under the eaves of a dilapidated house.

The carriage is not small, Xiang Suining sits on the left and Lan Tui sits on the right.

Because the horse was startled just now, the small table in the carriage was tilted, and the noddle on the plate on top also spilled out.

Xiang Suining reached out to pick up some snacks.

It just so happened that Lan Fai also reached out to pick it up.

His hand pressed on her hand, as if he had been bitten by something, he quickly retracted: "Miss abrupt."

"Master Xiaolan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat dim sum?" Xiang Suining repacked the dim sum he picked up into a plate, and handed it to Lan Tui. Sai: "Thank you, Miss Xiang."

"Yeah, I remembered that this pastry has been rolled in the carriage for a long time, so I can't eat it anymore." Xiang Suining snatched the pastry from Lan Tui's hand back and put it on the plate: "Master Xiaolan is just recovering from a serious illness, so don't eat these Unclean stuff."

"Listen to you." Lan Fa is easy-going.

"The girl went to our house?"

"how do you know?"

Lan Tui pointed to the golden phoenix hairpin on Xiang Suining's temple.

The golden phoenix hairpin became even brighter after being drenched in the rain, and Xiang Suining's face glowed against the nobility.

"This hairpin... was given to me by the princess... Although I don't ask for anything in return for saving Lord Xiaolan, the princess..."

"My mother is like this. If I get favors from others, I will remember them for a long time. If I can't repay them, I will think about them all day long. The food is not delicious. She gave you this golden hairpin. Mother will also feel more comfortable in her heart, which is very good."

"Yes."

"Why did Miss Xiang come to our house? Is there something wrong?"

amount.

this question.

And I'm ashamed to say that she went to see Lan Fai.I can only tell a lie: "I heard that Lan Xie has been studying embroidery very hard recently, and there are many embroidered patterns, so... I want to go and have a look."

"Have you seen your son?"

"Well, she is practicing embroidery."

"My embroiderers have improved a lot recently, and they were taught by the nuns in the palace. It's a pity that I'm not at the house today, so I can't entertain the girl myself."

"It's good to know that Master Xiaolan is fine...I mean..."

"I see……"

The rain didn't stop.

It seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

It's like bags of soybeans spilled from the depths of the dark clouds and hit the roof of the tarpaulin car, and you can hear the "cracking" sound in the car, like fireworks and firecrackers set off during the New Year, and like someone's pearls The necklace was accidentally torn, and the pearl bounced and ran away.

An autumn rain and a cold.

The summer scene is gone, and the lush vegetation has withered.

The wind was wrapped in the rain, the car curtain was lifted, and it blew in violently, making Xiang Suining shiver involuntarily. Maybe it was too cold. When she spoke, her teeth were chattering: "Xiao Lan... Lan Da... …grown ups……"

Knowing that she was cold, Lan Tui moved to sit by the window, just blocking the direction of the wind.

"Master Xiaolan will be cold."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Master Xiaolan, be careful."

"My life was saved by Miss Xiang, and I will cherish it well."

It was raining heavily, and someone took a broom and started sweeping the floor in the rain.

It seems that the rain will not stop.

Through the rain curtain, I saw an old man in coir raincoat, holding a bamboo broom in his arms, standing on the platform of the overpass and starting to sweep. Some people pushed a wheelbarrow, loaded the corpses of Zhou Sheng and two concubines on it, and I trotted to pick up their fallen heads, threw them into a basket on the wheelbarrow, and then pushed the wheelbarrow away.

The old man in coir raincoat swept down a pile of blood from the stairs, and then cleaned up the blood under the stairs. He swept it very carefully and carefully. The blood was red like impatiens. It was human blood. It was the blood of Zhou Sheng and his concubine.

It was almost like a river of blood, mixed with rainwater, with a strong fishy smell.

Xiang Suining watched seriously and remained silent.

"Miss Xiang is not afraid?" Lan faded a little worried about her.

Lan Tui often sees such scenes. To him, dying without a head is not terrible. He once saw with his own eyes that someone was executed by Ling Chi and cut hundreds of knives on his body for three days and three nights. That person is dead, and those who have committed the crime of treason, use a sharpened sandalwood stick soaked in tung oil to insert through the prisoner's anus, and then pass through the shoulder blade, like a roast sheep, hanging on an iron hook , has been hanging for a day and a night, that person died.

In comparison, the emperor is kind to Zhou Sheng.

But for a weak woman like Xiang Suining, beheading three people and bleeding all over the ground is already bloody.

If it was someone else's noble daughter, she might have screamed in fright, passed out, and couldn't wake up even if she pinched someone.

Xiang Suining actually watched it with relish.

Lan Fai admired her courage from the bottom of her heart.

Those bloodstains have been cleaned by people and washed away by the rain, and Zhou Sheng and his corpses have also disappeared. This overpass seems to be the same as before, and it can't be seen at all that it was the place where people were killed.

Xiang Suining was a little confused.

"Miss Xiang, is there something on your mind?"

"Master Xiaolan often walks in the palace, do you know why the emperor suddenly wants to kill Lord Zhou?"

"The emperor killed Mr. Zhou just to stop Youyou's mouth."

"Oh?"

"The girl also knows that because of the plague, the law and order in Qingcheng is worsening day by day. Murder and arson, burning, killing and looting happen every day, and the imperial guards can catch more than ten offenders every day. But If the plague is not eradicated for a day, this matter will only intensify. The people are afraid of death, but there is no cure. More and more people are angry and want to vent their anger. Maybe I didn’t like him for a long time, so I killed him while I was in this business, so that the common people could breathe a sigh of relief and stabilize the situation in Qingcheng a little bit.” Lan faded looking at the empty sky bridge and said: “If the emperor wants to be alone There are hundreds of ways, such as sending blood drops to pick off the man's head, sending out the forbidden army, or creating false appearances, or giving him to commit suicide. The emperor didn't have any, but sent prison officers to take Zhou Sheng and others to the prison. The purpose of beheading this Tianqiao is to make people watch and let the people vent their anger."

Lan Fai's analysis was also in Xiang Suining's mind.

The situation in Qingcheng is unstable, as if a dam is about to burst.

If it is not done, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhou Sheng died right here.

The emperor took his life to stop Youyou's mouth.

Of course, Zhou Sheng's death was not a bad thing.

I have enjoyed it and I have enjoyed it, and I have been comfortable for many years. It is time to seek an explanation for those cases that he misjudged and those who died unjustly.
