Chapter 277 Looking at My Hometown (21)
The sound of music drifted into the depths of the palace, as deep as the royal wine cellar underground.Many wine jars with yellow stickers were broken one by one. Zhou Dun stood among them and sprinkled a large bag of white powder into each jar one by one.When he came out, the mountain wind was blowing through his bones, the lights dimmed and the sound was thin.In the pavilion, a young opera in his teens was singing a set of desolate Daqu. Behind a beaded curtain in the opposite hall, Qi She and Qing Tian were sitting next to each other.Qi She is wearing a sable fur and a sable crown on her head. Qing Tian is covered with a high-waisted skirt, with strands of rose crystal tassels hanging down her chest.Zhou Dun walked up to them and said a few words. After Qi She had heard it, he took Qingtian into his arms presumptuously, whispering in her ear, and was extremely happy. I don't know why, maybe it was just for the sake of This mountain leaves the palace and goes upstairs, Song Yu has no worries and worries about himself[10].He laughed and cursed, slapped the table and gave the order to distribute the imperial brewed chrysanthemum wine to everyone, from the guards to the servants, from the cook to the groom, everyone.

At the time of Jiaozi, the big banquet in the Imperial City of Beijing ended, and we bid farewell to the banquet guests with tired faces.Walking in the mountains, the show has come to an end, but there is silence, only the sound of snoring here and there, and even the opera singers are dressed in the outfit of Concubine Yang, and they are drunk in the Baihua Pavilion.Qi She's eyes were bright, she stood up slowly, and left the messy wine field with Qingtian.

Zhou Dun and He Wuwei began to inspect every hall and every room: some were lying on the table, some were nestling under the bed, some were leaning against the table with their heads resting on their cups and chopsticks, and some were curled up in the corner with a spear in their hands... Everyone They were all lethargic.They looked inside and out, and then opened a room where sundries were placed. Inside, lay five people who were also in deep sleep, three men and two women.Zhou Dun and He Wuwei carried these people out one by one, and transported them to a small hall outside the east verandah of the main hall.

When the last person was placed on the embroidered bed surrounded by soft curtains beside the bath, Qi She approached and lit a large pine oil torch on a short candle.The flames rose up with a "boom", lighting up his heavy face.

Qing Tian held hands with Ying Zhi tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Third brother, are they going to be burned here alive for us?"

Qi She handed the torch to He Wuwei, and his expression was hidden in the darkness, "These people are all prisoners of death, and they should abandon the market. Now they die in the royal palace as us, which is a blessing that they can't even dream of. Alcohol and sweat medicine, those who can’t wake up will pass without feeling a little bit. For them, it’s kindness.”

At the end of the speech, the sound of beeping has been heard.He Wuwei held a torch in his hand, lit the exquisite silk curtains one by one, and turned over several palace lanterns, and retreated out coughing while burning.But the smoke had already rushed out one step ahead, swelled and radiated light.

Qi She protects Qingtian and walks away from a distance, caressing the soft cloak on her body, "The car is ready, you go first."

Qing Tian looked back and saw Zhou Dun guarding a carriage.She turned around again, with inexplicable tears bursting out of her eyes, "I'll wait for you."

"I want to see the fire burn out with my own eyes, and I can't make a mistake, or there will be endless troubles. The smell is terrible, and the wreckage is terrible. You are pregnant, don't see these things. Go, I'll come later, tomorrow. Leave early in the morning."

Qingtian knew that they were only separated for a while, but the flames bursting up all over the sky seemed to be chanting some evil curse, illuminating some invisible but huge and terrifying things.Her heart was terrified, tears fell down, and she held Qi She with both hands together with great reluctance, holding him to her lips, crying and kissing, kissing her forehead and eyelids.Qi She held her with the other hand and patted her gently, "Okay, don't do this."

Qingtian cried even more fiercely, she suddenly wrapped her arms around him, directly pressed the tip of her tongue into his teeth, and writhed inside, as if looking for a guarantee.It took a long time before she let go of her hand.Qi She still leaned over a little bit, wiped off the rouge marks on her lips, and couldn't help laughing, "What? Are you afraid that I will deceive you and go home by yourself?" He bit her ear, and took an envelope quickly. And secretly stuffed it into her arms, "Grandma, listen carefully, this is all of Grandpa's property, and it will be pledged to you as security. You must keep it well, if it is lost, our husband and wife will really have to go out of the gate for the rest of our lives." Herding sheep."

Qingtian coughed profusely in the oncoming smoke, choked up and couldn't speak.

Qi She hugged her to avoid two steps, waved to Yingzhi who was not far away, and wiped Qingtian's tears with a smile, "Little fool, we will be together forever soon." The previous one was sent to Yingzhi's hands.

Qingtian was supported by Yingzhi, and turned his head three times a step.Before getting in the car, Zhou Dun opened the curtain for her, and she looked back and stared at: Qi She turned his back to the burning palace. The Venus in the sky.She couldn't see his expression clearly, only saw him raise his right hand high and wave briefly to her, which was a short and easy farewell.

The car rolled.Qingtian leaned against Yingzhi's arms, staring at the curtain of the car blankly.She suddenly remembered the unexpected parting between her and him on the grassland many years ago, and Qingtian understood somewhat: the moment of their reunion will be later than she expected, and there will be more twists and turns, but it will always come.She kept thinking about Qi She's last sentence "We will be together forever soon", and gradually felt at ease.On the empty and boundless ancient road, the car walked smoothly and smoothly.On the shaft of the chariot, Zhou Dun sat with his feet up, put his hands in his sleeves, and whistled softly.

At the end of the desolate and desolate night, the light of the fire is getting weaker and dimmer.

13.
Qi She and He Wuwei looked at the fire and burned all the way up the white jade platform of the bathing pool, into the hot spring full of the pool, boiling and extinguishing.

They extinguished the embers, inspected the charred corpses that had been sleeping forever, and the witnesses who were about to wake up, and then stepped on their horses in the ashes all over the ground.Everything went as expected.They urged the horse down the mountain, and when they were almost at the foot of the mountain, He Wuwei was the first to notice the abnormality, and then Qi She also noticed it, and together they tightened the horse's bit and drew out the waist knife.After a commotion like a stung, a hundred kinds of poisons emerged from the ground, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... More and more people and horses came from all sides. Come on, all the little ones held torches and illuminated the leader——

Wu Yi gritted his teeth with a sinister smile and said, "Brothers, the one on the white horse is going to live."

Qi She had never seen Wu Yi before, so he couldn't recognize the one-armed man's face, but he recognized the hatred on his face.Cold sweat instantly drenched his whole body. He and He Wuwei looked at each other. They had fought many battles side by side, but they had never fought a war between two people and 200 people.

No miracles.They fell flat.After taking care of nearly five or sixty people from the other party, Qi She fell off the horse.He Wuwei dismounted to protect the lord, and the two of them dealt with a dozen more back-to-back. He Wuwei fell down and was stabbed into a hedgehog. Before he died, he struggled to cover Qi She with his whole body.Qi She was captured under the bloody body of the bodyguard he entrusted to life and death.

The losers of the war are called prisoners of war, and the situation of prisoners of war is just like Qi She is now.His whole body was covered in blood, wounds, and dirt, and his hands and feet were all shackled with iron shackles. The iron shackles on his feet were buckled into a horse-hitting stake on the ground, and the stake was directly driven into the ground in the tent.The tent is not too big, but it is more than enough to accommodate two more people.

They came one after the other, with Xihe in the front and Qiao Yunze in the back.

Qi She's reaction angered them. He raised his scratched eyelids and glanced at them. He was definitely not the way a prisoner should be, but like an emperor. He was surprised to see two people in his palace. The swaggering clown.This glance made Xi He and Qiao Yun even more united.It is this arrogant man and his despicable woman who make them both outcasts, let the fangs of jealousy bite their hearts and lungs day and night, inject the venom of hatred into their blood vessels, and make people not crazy and lifeless .

But like all the craziest lunatics, on the surface, both Xi He and Qiao Yun are so smart and rational.She sat down gracefully on a low stool he had moved, and glanced at Qi Sheju who was on the ground, "Third Master, didn't you expect that?"

"No." Qi She leaned half on the horse's post, covered with scars, blood oozing from the roots of his teeth when he spoke; but his voice was very steady, with an almost indifferent calm, "If I'm thinking about something now , there was a person who warned me to be careful of you, Queen Mother, before he died."

"Oh?" Xihe laughed happily, and Zhen Cuiman swayed on the towering high-spine bun. She lightly twisted the chiseled flower flying fish pendant under her ear, "But in my opinion, the third master It's me who should be careful. If you didn't kill yourself first, even if I have great abilities, I can't touch you."

"As the Empress Dowager said, I have already killed myself. Is it necessary to kill a dead person again?"

Xi He laughed dryly and hugged his knees, "Third Master, you are the one who committed the heinous crime of treason, and you must die for ten thousand deaths. Die twice is not too much."

Qi She lifted his scratched wrist heavily, and the iron chain made a "crash", as if some huge vessel broke in the air. "If I were really a conspiracy, the emperor would not have the opportunity to rule alone today, and he would have died a long time ago."
