Chapter 8
"My lord, the palace is here"
The hustle and bustle of this end can be heard from a street away, and it is a festive scene.The courtyard was full of princes and nobles who came to congratulate.Two or three of them sat around a table, drinking and having fun.The meal was passed on, the servants serving the wine shuttled among the crowd, and bright red lanterns could be seen everywhere.
If this is just a marriage of an ordinary family, the bride will definitely be moved by the groom's dedication.
Xie Liangqing was half taller than Shen Xueli, so he walked ahead.One after the other, they fumbled in the huge palace where is the new house?Passing through the crowded and lively main hall, the backyard is obviously much quieter, occasionally passing by a few little maids.
The backyard of Wang's Mansion is much bigger than Shen's Mansion, and there are several times more rooms for the master and guests.They checked several rooms one by one, but there was no sign of Qin Fengliang inside.Finally, they discussed how to split up, and finally met at the edge of the rockery in the courtyard.
"White-tailed fox grass, you put it away"
"Brother, it may save my life if necessary"
Shen Xueli took out the juan handkerchief wrapped in white-tailed fox grass from her bosom, and handed it to Xie Liangqing.Immediately, the white-tailed fox grass in his hand, which was originally light, became very heavy.At the same time, the other party's smile revealed helplessness all the time.
Xie Liangqing went east, and Shen Xueli went all the way to the west.She searched several small courtyards, but there was no trace of life in them. During the process, she passed the yard of the elder sister, and she saw the elder sister walking around a tree by herself, looking thoughtful, holding her slightly bulging belly.
Shen Xueli didn't look much, it was important to find Qin Fengliang.Regardless of whether it is a spy from another country or not, what she is worried about is that if Qin Fengliang marries a shameless person like Wang Chang, his life will be ruined!
She was still walking around in several courtyards, and walked by two festively dressed maidservants with ruddy complexions.He inadvertently heard that these two were the night guard maids rushing to the new house.Shen Xueli followed from afar.
Sure enough, she followed the maid to the new house smoothly.Marriage is a matter of celebration, and swords will block the joy and bring evil spirits, so there are no guards outside the party.This can be regarded as a major negligence of General Wang's work. If there are enemy assassins waiting for the opportunity to assassinate, the chance of winning may be half as high.
"what--"
Shen Xueli, who was hiding in the distance, suddenly heard a woman's scream, and in the next second, a maid covered in blood ran out from the house, she was one of the maids who had been on guard before.
The door was half open, and Shen Xueli walked in.There was a mess in it, there were broken tiles on the ground, pieces of wine and clothes everywhere, and a table full of wine.She continued to walk inside, and there was a person lying beside the screen, another maid, with a pale face.She bent down, touched her nose, and breathed, she must have fainted from fright.
Shen Xueli walked around the screen, and a disheveled figure faced her from behind.Standing in front of the show bed, half bent as if packing something.She tilted her head and glanced, it was a bloody head.
When she saw it, she gasped.
"You... killed him"
"Miss San, why are you here?"
Qin Fengliang put Wang Chang's head into a wooden box, tied it on his back with a piece of long cloth.Then he turned around and said to Shen Xueli with a smile.
Her face was covered with splattered blood, some of which were still wet, running from her forehead down her eyebrows, her cheeks to her chin, and finally dripping onto the ground.Shen Xueli didn't know what to say when she saw this scene.Looking at Qin Fengliang in a daze.
"Let's go, people who come later will not be able to leave even if they want to"
Qin Fengliang stepped forward, grabbed Shen Xueli's arm and walked out of the house.She followed Qin Fengliang across several courtyards and wandered around the palace, but did not meet Xie Liangqing.
Shen Xueli's mind was a little confused for a moment, the force pulling her all the way was so strong, a woman from Qin Fengliang actually killed a big man like Wang Chang?There are too many questions, she wants to ask Qin Fengliang.
The maid who just slipped out spread the news of Wang Chang's beheading among the guests.Under the leadership of the steward, the guard gate of the palace searched for Qin Fengliang over and over again.The guards sealed off the entire palace. All the guests present today, whether they are high-level officials or royal family and nobles, have to undergo body searches and surveillance all day and night.
The road leading to the outside has been tightly sealed. Fortunately, when Chen Hu'er was investigating, he found a dog hole in a wall next to the rockery.The entrance of the cave is very small, half covered by a dilapidated bamboo tower.Just dodged trimming.
Outside the cave is the dead end of this street. All the discarded clothes and items of the people living on this street are accumulated in this dead end.
With the figure of the two of them, they easily got through the dog hole and left the palace smoothly.
When Wang Chang died, it was said that the bride killed the groom.Speaking of which, Shen Xueli couldn't get rid of her involvement in this matter, and she couldn't go back to Shen's residence during this period of time.She followed behind Qin Fengliang, could it be that the two of them are destined to sleep on the street tonight?
Qin Fengliang always wanted to go south of the city, and finally chose to rest in an abandoned temple in the south of the city.Picking up some firewood in the temple, a weak flame lit up the originally dark ruined temple.
Qin Fengliang didn't know that he brought a basin of water from the abandoned well outside the temple, and washed his cheeks and neck.Then he began to take off his coat.Shen Xueli's pair of beads still stared at Qin Fengliang's every move.
"Miss San, do you want to see Feng Liang take off his clothes?"
Her collar was opened wide, revealing her snow-white shoulders and sunken collarbone.Looking from Shen Xueli's side, he could still see a corner of his bellyband, which was white.
In an instant, Shen Xueli realized her gaffe.Pretending to be calm, he lowered his head not to look at her.
After a long time, someone gently stroked her head.Shen Xueli raised her head, Qin Fengliang was smiling at her, and handed her a steamed bun.At this time, Qin Fengliang changed into dark yellow and coarse clothes.This is what she took away when the two of them passed by the previous farmhouses.Probably men's clothes, Qin Fengliang's body was a little sloppy.
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
Shen Xueli shook her head.Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't have anything to ask.General Wang Chang, Qin Fengliang is not the only one who offended, if he didn't die by her hand today, he will surely die by someone else's hand in the future.Why did she, Shen Xueli, want to figure out the grievances and grievances of others.
"Then I will wrong the third lady to stay here for one night."
Qin Fengliang lay down on the ground, the package containing the head was right behind her.The blood oozing out had already dried up outside the long cloth, Shen Xue looked a little hairy, so she bent down to rest.
This night, Shen Xueli was kept up all night by the bloody stench, and her spirit was a little sluggish.
At dawn, there was only one person in the dilapidated temple where there were originally only two people.It was a young man in red, who greeted Qin Fengliang with a smile as soon as he entered the door.Apparently, he is her friend.The two of them sent Shen Xueli back to the burnt-out site of the other courtyard.
"Third Miss, you and I will leave now"
Qin Fengliang bent down and bowed, and made this great gift to her, in order to thank her for taking her in that day.Chen Hu'er, who was on the same side as her, stood up straight and went back the same way.
Shen Xueli looked at the two distant figures in front of her eyes, turned her head to look at the ruins left by the fire, and turned around to look at the eaves of Shen's residence in the distance, but she didn't know where she was going.
A handsome young man outside the city was driving a horse, leisurely walking along the mountain path.One of the men took out a small piece of pastry from his arms, took a few glances at it and stuffed it into his mouth.This was the last pastry that smelled like Yueyun in Chen Hu'er's arms.
"Thinking about this Yueyun, I will never be able to eat those delicious pastries again, and I still feel a little bit reluctant."
"Hey! General, do you have anything worth commemorating in Yueyun City?"
As a souvenir?
"no"
