Although Shaoshang can now enter and exit at will, the grand opening of the house in the middle of the night still alarmed Father Cheng and Mrs. Xiao. The couple hurriedly put on their robes and came out, but they were surprised to see that their daughter was ready to go.

The black robe was embroidered with ink flowers and birds in opposite colors with silver threads, with a slender waist and a leather wrist buckle. He wore a pair of sharp and straight boots on his legs, and his thick hair was tied into a smooth high bun. There are several silver buttons hidden in the hair, and there are no other accessories on the body. The girl's whole person looked condensed and solemn, revealing a faint chill.

The more Mrs. Xiao looked, the more frightened her heart became, even though her daughter had never dressed up so solemnly when she was away from home.

"Where are you going?! You're going to get married in three days. What are you making a fuss about? In the middle of the night... there's still a curfew outside!" Cheng Shi saw his daughter lead the eight guards the queen gave her and went straight to the gate. Shouted anxiously.

Shaoshang turned around and said with a smile, "I've disturbed my father and mother, it doesn't matter. I have something to go out for, and my father and mother, please go to sleep..."

Father Cheng's forehead burst into blue veins in a hurry, and he pushed his arms to his robe. With a hood in his sleeve, he shouted, "How can you make us sleep so disturbed! Who are you making fun of..."

"Did something happen to Ling Wuxuan?" Mrs. Xiao said suddenly.

Shao Shang looked back suddenly, a smile of admiration floated on his lips, before she could answer, a servant of the Cheng family hurriedly ran in front of him, he knelt in front of Shao Shang and said, "Reporting to the young lady, go to the Marquis of Chengyang. The mansion looked at it and knocked on the door for a long time before an old servant came to open it, only that the whole family of Linghou went to another courtyard outside the city yesterday, and it sounds like they are celebrating their 50th birthday."

Shao Shang narrowed his eyes: "As expected . "

...Is there really something wrong with Ling?"

Mrs. Xiao staggered, Cheng Shi quickly supported his wife, and the couple looked at each other, remembering the Lantern Festival palace banquet last month.

It was noon at that time, and Shao Shang and Ling Budo stood on both sides of the Empress, under the light and shadow of the sun, the former stood under the eaves, while the latter walked to the palace steps. Although the girl is in the shadow of the cold, her whole body is full of vitality; while the young man is in the sun, surrounded by the stars around him, called the brocade of flowers, and the fire cooks the oil, but there is a faint air of indifference.

Mrs. Xiao felt inappropriate for no reason, so she asked her husband when she got home: "Do I really miss people very rarely?"

Cheng Shi complimented his wife: "Even if you were Thief Chen back then, you were only confused at first, and it didn't take long for you to be confused. Only when we detect something wrong can we escape in time. Yau is also, you were prejudiced at first, but don't you think she's better later?" Mrs. Xiao said

dully: "If there is one person, I didn't think so at first, but later I feel more and more inappropriate."

Cheng Shi said, "The longer you look at people, the more accurate you will be. There are no exceptions."

Mrs. Xiao said, "I hope there are exceptions. Because this time I think Ling Zisheng is inappropriate."

Afterwards, the couple After discussing for a long time, both of them decided to let it go. They are the adopted son of the emperor, a young powerful minister, and even their future son-in-law. They can't be unreasonable because of Mrs. Xiao's intuition. The result -

Shao Shang bowed his knees to his parents and said respectfully: "My parents, please rest first, I think there is nothing to do when you come to the capital, but I also ask my mother to keep an eye on the concierge, just in case. My daughter will retire first and go... Come when you go."

Mrs. Xiao stepped forward and shouted sharply: "You are not allowed to go out! If Ling Zisheng is not right, you can send someone to tell the palace, why do you have to go out by yourself! Do you still want to go out of the city, in case something is wrong? What should I do? Besides, you can't get out of the city gate!"

Shao Shang paused, looked back at his biological mother, and said word by word, "Mum, don't worry, I have already reported what I should report, but I still have to go out tonight. , you can't stop me." Madam Xiao

stamped her feet furiously and shouted, "Someone, arrest the young lady..."

At this time, the half-opened gate of Cheng Mansion was slammed open, and then a group of golden armored guards wearing cloaks embroidered with the emblem of Changqiu Palace poured into the Cheng family mansion like flowing water. The young leader who spread his wings half knelt in front of Shao Shang, clasped his fists and said: "My subordinates have to come here, and I will follow Mrs. Cheng's orders."

Shao Shang was surrounded by the guards, slowly took a step towards Mrs. Xiao, and said indifferently: " Miss Cheng. You have handed over all kinds of talismans to me, you can enter the palace gate at night, and you can reach everywhere without hindrance, and you can order the guards of Changqiu Palace—but I have never used it, and no one knows about it." This is the queen of the year. The practice of regents to establish a country when the emperor goes out to conquer.

The family members of the Cheng family who were about to go forward to catch the young merchants were stunned and turned around to ask their daughter-in-law for instructions.

Mrs. Xiao's hands and feet were cold, and she shouted in a rude manner: "Don't go! There is a big matter that the emperor will decide, you, you..."

Shao Shang looked up at his biological mother. The beautiful woman, who was always neat and meticulous, was flustered at this time. Bewildered. She was desolate in her heart, but she raised her chin high and said proudly: "Mum, don't you think it's too late to take care of me. You didn't take care of me at the beginning, and now you can't take care of me anymore. ... Let's go. Cheng Shi stomped his feet in

anger, but he could only support his trembling wife and watch his daughter follow the golden armored guards out of the gate. In addition to being angry, he had to allocate half of his family's soldiers and four other maids to chase after him. Follow your daughter.

...

When she left the city gate, the guard's captain looked at Shaoshang with surprise and vigilance, but fortunately, she was out of the city, not leading a group of fully armed guards into the city, so the captain was released as ordered. .

The cow-spotted flower horse is now long and sturdy, galloping like the wind, no longer the chubby, clumsy and cute appearance of the past. Shao Shang is riding on the saddle, with the whistling early spring wind in his ears, surrounded by The personal maid sent by Father Cheng to catch up, and the Queen's Guard who stepped on the rumbling hooves - before, this familiar voice always made her feel at ease, because she knew that no matter what she encountered, there would always be someone who would bring her. The heavenly soldiers will come to rescue her and save her from danger.

But now... She always has to ask herself to understand, as an explanation for her unfortunate life as always.

The silver buttons that tied the cloak touched his chest, making a ding ding sound, Shao Shang came back to his senses, and sparks flashed in front of him, and they converged into two long chains as they moved, like a fiery snake circling, accompanied by the same rumbling horseshoes. sound, quickly across the open and cold plains.

Shao Shang signaled, and the leader of the guards immediately let his men gallop for a while, shouting: "I am the guard of Changqiu Palace, who are you waiting for, why are you galloping outside the city late at night?

" : "I'm waiting for the

guards at the entrance of Chisu Peak, and I was ordered to be transferred to Zhenyang Guard!" Knowing that they came from Beisheng Mountain Camp, they were also transferred to the royal garden west of the capital by order.

Continuing to move forward in this way, Shaoshang and his party bumped into two groups of troops marching at night, and one of them happened to be an army dispatched by Zhenyang Guard. Even the leader of the guards was surprised. He slowed down and asked, "Dare to ask Mrs. Cheng, why are there so many military orders tonight?"

Shaoshang said, "According to the captain's opinion, what should these orders be directed at?"

The guard leader scratched his head: " These places are all small guards, the number of which can be thousands, and the few are only three or five hundred. It sounds like they are not dispatched to one place, but they go from east to west, and they replace each other. Intention."

A sneer sneered at the corner of Shao Shang's mouth: "No intention is also a kind of intention."

The leader of the guards was puzzled: "Then we... and then...?"

Shao Shang waved his hand decisively: "Ignore it, we Continue on our way. How far is the Ling family's other courtyard?" The

leader of the guards did not dare to underestimate the girl in front of her. Although she was young and a woman, there was a faint sense of decisiveness on her body. He made an estimate and replied, "Come on, another half an hour."

After almost an hour and a half of turbulence, Shaoshang felt sore and painful all over his body, as if he was squeezed by the birth canal again and came to this strange and dangerous world , but she refrained from saying a word - so people came to the world to endure suffering and deception again and again? Then why bother to walk away in this world?

She burst into tears for a while, then wiped them away silently.

From a distance, I saw the Ling Family Courtyard built at the foot of the mountain, where there was already a sea of ​​fire, mixed with screams and scolding. The roaring flames were particularly striking in the dark night. Some houses were on fire, and they were burning more and more violently in the cold wind of hunting and hunting. Most of them were the torches held high by the soldiers who exuded a strong bloody aura. Surrounded by it, it was like a dangerous sea of ​​stars.

The guards riding around Shaoshang were stunned, and they all asked in amazement, 'what's the matter?' "Ah, is it because the Ling family is going to rebel, and the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress them?", "Should we save or not?"...

Among the crowd, only Shaoshang's face was expressionless, and he rode down the hillside calmly as usual.

The soldiers who surrounded the other courtyard saw a group of people riding over, and immediately stepped forward to stop them. Shao Shang told the guards to get out of the way, and rode forward on his own, asking directly, "Who led you? Zhang Jin, Li Si, or Brother Liangqiu?"

These soldiers were Ling Budo's private soldiers, and they stayed where they were as soon as they saw Shaoshang's face - Toefl and Ling Budo have been inseparable this year, coming in and going out together, and they have seen Shaoshang's appearance. More than one or two people.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, I only brought dozens of Changqiu Palace guards, and it won't hinder you." Shao Shang said lightly, "You sent someone to lead me to find Ling, but these guards will stay outside and wait. Let's go ."

The leader of the guards became nervous: "Miss Cheng, how can you let you in alone! The maiden can't spare us if she knows about it!"

Shao Shang waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "I'll be fine, the maiden knows about me. You ca n't blame you for your temperament."

The soldiers discussed a few words in a low voice and decided to let the young merchant in - no one in Mandu City knew that Ling Budo had a deep love with his fiancee, and it was hard to let go; if anyone offended Cheng's little lady is more troublesome than offending Ling Budo himself.

Shao Shang dismounted from the bridle, leaving the Queen's guard behind, and only walked in with four maids.

This huge courtyard can now be divided into east and west. The east side seems to have been cleaned up, and people are guarding it with fire everywhere, and they are still catching fish that slip through the net. The sound of fighting was still heard from the west half, and there should be people resisting.

In front of him, bloody corpses were lying on the ground, and the faces of the dead were terrifying like a nightmare - Shao Shang silently stepped over.

Although Ling Yi was often looked down upon by important officials such as Cui Hou, he started out in martial arts, and he followed him in the east and west for many years. Therefore, when breaking this courtyard, I think it was after a tragic fight.

After passing through many thresholds and courtyards, Shao Shang finally came to a solemn and tall main house, only to see Liang Qiuqi kneeling on the ground and replying to Ling Budo: "...As the young master expected, these rows of large houses There is not only a dark room, but also two tunnels leading to the back of the mountain. If the young master told me to wait and take precautions, let that fellow escape!"

Ling Budo noticed someone behind him, turned around slowly, and saw that it was Shaoshang didn't seem to be very surprised, but smiled gently and said in a gentle tone, "Shaoshang, why are you here? You shouldn't be here, you go back first, and I'll find you later."

— —Like many times when the girl slipped out of Changqiu Palace in the afternoon and went to the Nangong Council Hall to find him.

Shao Shang felt that his throat was dry, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

At this time, Liang Qiufei brought a number of guards and imprisoned a person, the man was white-faced and gentle, middle-aged and elegant, it was Ling Yi. It's a pity that at this time, his hair was unkempt, his clothes were torn, and he lacked the usual elegant style.

As soon as Ling Yi saw Ling Budo, he struggled and shouted: "Zisheng, Zisheng, are you crazy? You actually attacked your own father!"

Ling Budo ignored him, still looking at Shaoshang: "I'll go first Let someone take you back."

Ling Yi was kicked to the ground by Liang Qiufei, and several swords were pressed against his vitals. Ling Yi wailed and said loudly: "Ali, Ari, I am your father! I know that you feel sorry for your mother's death, but you and I are father and son! Blood is thicker than water, you can't be for your mother's sake. You committed the crime of murdering your father! When you wake up, Ali, don't be confused. No matter how much Your Majesty loves you, the murder of your father is also a heinous crime. "..."

Shao Shang stared at Ling Budo's beautiful amber eyes, and said with difficulty: "I just want to ask a question, something you owe me for a long time."

Ling Budo softly said, "You ask.

" Who are you after all? Ling Budo, or Huo Wushang?" Shao Shang asked with almost a pain all over his body.

Ling Budo looked at the girl deeply, as if he was looking at an unreachable dream. After a while, he slowly turned around and said to Ling Yi on the ground, "Uncle, Ah Li is already dead."

Ling Yi stopped. Struggling, with a blank look on his face, he didn't seem to understand.

Ling Budo's tone was soft, but it became more and more creepy: "Ali was wearing my clothes, and was pierced by a sharp spear, and then lifted it up high and inserted it into the city head. Uncle, you have forgotten all about it. Is it?"

Ling Yi opened his mouth wide, his whole body like being struck by lightning.

There was a crack in Shao Shang's heart, and something gurgled out.

When her eyes were blurred, she realized that he was wearing the same robes they wore when they first met in Wanjia - a gorgeous brocade with bright red like blood, a beast pattern embroidered with dark golden silk threads, and dark red wide sleeves. The robe, the woven gold belt, the red gold crown, the

night wind hunting, the crimson fiery rolled up all over his body, as if covered with Manzhu Shahua on the Yellow Spring Road, the overwhelming blood spread. At this time, he was sighingly handsome, but also frighteningly unfamiliar.
