Chapter 61: Yuan Ba

In the middle of the moon, the cold wind blows, and the bamboo forest makes the sound of the collision of bamboo poles and the sound of leaves being moved by the wind. It is precisely because of these sounds that Qin Jiu mistaken the slight sound that he perceives for the sound of the wind blowing the tree, and it is easy to be caught.
The moment she was caught, she was a little frightened, and was about to shoot.
Immediately after smelling a strong smell of wine, she lowered her head to find that the sleeve of the hand that was holding her waist was pure white as snow. She immediately knew who this person was, and it was Xiao Lebai, who had just played in the hall just now. . Qin Jiu intuitively felt that Xiao Lebai was not hostile to her, so she tried to struggle twice, but found that he was getting tighter and tighter, thinking in her heart, she wanted to see what he was going to do.
The more you walk in the bamboo forest, the thicker the silky haze becomes and the more subtle and roundabout.
"Dasi Le, are you... where are you taking me?" Qin Jiu smiled lightly.
The hand on his waist was released instantly, and Qin Jiu slowly turned around, facing the plain face of Xiao Lebai in the moonlight. With the wine gourd in his hand, the grace and gentleness of playing the piano in the hall just now has long gone, replaced by drunken arrogance. He squinted his eyes and asked vaguely, "Hey? Do you know who I am?"
It turned out to be drunk. I heard that Xiao Le’s liquor tastes very good. After being drunk, he will not go crazy, only compose music and play the piano. Is it true that the rumor is wrong? After he gets drunk, will he attack a lone woman?
Qin Jiu smiled lazily, and brushed his waist clothes, "In this world, besides Dasile, who else would have such a big smell of alcohol? Dasile, since he is drunk, it is better to go back earlier. Rest!"
Xiao Lebai took another sip of wine on his back, and his details became more drunk. He didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. Instead, he leaned forward, stretched out his fingers to pick up a strand of hair by Qin Jiu's temple, and the corners of his lips lightly. With an obsessive smile, he slowly leaned to her ear and said in a low voice: "Qin Jiu, oh... Qin Jiu! Is your illness cured?"
Qin Jiu did not expect that Xiao Lebai was still thinking about her last time she contracted the wind and cold at the Snow Praying Festival. He was very moved and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Da Si Le, I will be fine." After speaking, Qin said. Jiu felt that Xiao Lebai was too close to herself, and she backed away calmly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lebai took a step forward like a shadow. He shook the wine gourd in his hand and said in a drunken manner: "It's good if you get better. Just now, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
When Qin Jiu left the hall, naturally there was no need to specifically resign from him, unless it was a friend. Xiao Lebai's words clearly made Qin Jiu a friend.
Qin Jiu's heart moved, and Xiao Lebai was just in the Hall of Ren Chong, and Xiao Lebai made a song, which immediately made Qing Emperor happy. It can be seen that he, a musician, was extremely favored in front of Emperor Qing. If you can buy this person for your own use, it will naturally have infinite benefits for future actions.
However, this person seemed extremely loyal to Emperor Qing, and it seemed not easy to buy him, but at least he should not be offended.
Qin Jiu said with a smile: "I didn't plan to leave just now. I just went out for a stroll, but now I'm going out of the palace. This time I officially bid farewell to Brother Xiao."
Xiao Lebai seemed very happy when he heard Qin Jiu calling him Brother Xiao, and reached out his hand to remove the leather pouch from his back. Qin Jiu discovered that he had been carrying Huanghou all the time.
"Suddenly there was a good piece of music, it was made for you, and I will play it for you." Xiao Lebai sat on the ground casually, regardless of whether the soil on the ground would stain his white clothes.
This man came up drunk, really Fuqin!
It's just that now, in this dark bamboo forest, even if Xiao Le Baiqin's skills are good, Qin Jiu is really not in the mood to listen to his tunes. If someone is attracted, even if her early name is destroyed long ago, it is still not good.
Qin Jiu hurriedly stopped and said: "Brother Xiao, it is late at night, you are drunk again, you should go back to rest early. How about I listen to this tune another day?" Where is Xiao Lebai reluctant, and his drunk eyes flashed A trace of sorrow, "I made this song specially for you. If you don't listen to it, I want this 箜篌 of any use, it is better to smash it." Then, he lifted the 箜篌 and fell to the ground.
Qin Jiu's intuition and drunken people are unreasonable.
Seeing that Huanghu was about to fall to the ground, she stretched out her sleeves and took it. Gently stroking the strings of Fu Wanhu, he smiled and said: "How come Brother Xiao is willing to hit the piano, Qin Jiu can't afford it. Since Brother Xiao has to touch the piano, then I will listen to it." Qin Jiu handed the piano to Xiao Le Bai's hands.
Xiao Lebai turned his anger into joy and sat on the ground, in the dimly lit forest, and began to play the piano.
He doesn't seem to need to look at the strings at all, just relying on the feeling of his fingers, a beautiful music will flow out.
The difference between the drunk Xiao Lebai and the sober Xiao Lebai was so big, Qin Jiu sighed, looked up at the cold moon in the sky, and listened attentively.
It was just a perfunctory listening. But Xiao Lebai deserves to be Xiao Lebai, and the music after drunk is more beautiful, as if it had magical power.
It's just that this song doesn't have a hint of joy. Outside the ethereal realm of idle flowers in the empty valley and flowing clouds in the sky, there seems to be a trace of unnoticeable sadness and sadness.
This is a song made for her.
Qin Jiu closed his eyes. In this world, can he see through her heart as such a stranger?
Before the end of the song, I heard a cold drink from the sound of the footpath by the lake, "Who is making a noise here, not coming out!"
Qin Jiu was taken aback, and understood that this was a Xiaoqi who was watching the night. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside getting closer, he had obviously surrounded this place.
This bamboo forest occupies a small area, and it is easy to be spotted. If it is possible to escape, it is just wading away. This icy lake, she may not be able to withstand the chill now.
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, it seems that I am destined to not finish listening to this song today!"
Xiao Lebai raised his eyes and smiled at Qin Jiu: "You stay here for now, let me go out and lead them away. Although you don't care about your name, I still care."
After Xiao Lebai finished speaking, he stood up holding the 箜篌, and walked out of the bamboo forest. Although the footsteps are still a little awkward, but it seems that the alcohol seems to have disappeared a lot.
"It turned out to be Commander Yuan! Just now he was drunk, so he stroked a song in the forest, not wanting to cause trouble for Commander Yuan." Xiao Lebai said drunkly.
Yuan commanded Yuan Ba.
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Speaking of this person's name, it sounds like a thunderbolt.
Twenty years ago, he was one of the masters who were famous in Jianghu, and was later adopted by the Emperor Xian for his own use and became the leader of Xiaoqi. After the emperor Xian was resigned, his position did not waver, and he was extremely loyal to Emperor Qing. Today, Xie Dichen's Jinwuwei guards the outer city, but he is here to guard the safety of the entire Miyagi. This person does not participate in any party fights and is only used by Emperor Qing. The White Queen also admired his honesty. It was just him who regarded the White Queen as rebellious.
"It's actually Dasile. It's getting late. Why doesn't Dasile go back to the mansion to rest? The Qionglin banquet at Ren Chong Hall is over. The Dingjie Drum will ring in two quarters of an hour. The curfew order." Yuan Ba ​​said coldly.
He is more than 40 years old, dressed in clothes led by Xiaoqi, of medium build, thin face, calm temperament, and a pair of sharp eyes with a hint of warning, and the whole person is like an unsheathed knife.
"Thank you, Commander Yuan, for reminding. Otherwise, the curfew will be troublesome, and Xiao will go back to the house." Xiao Lebai thanked Yuan Ba ​​with his hands, and staggered away from the shore of the painting lake.
Qin Jiu listened to the movement outside, hearing the sound of Xiaoqi's footsteps gradually moving away from the lake, before she quickly stepped out of the bamboo forest.
Out of the bamboo forest, Qin Jiu walked a few steps quickly, and then suddenly stopped.
On the lakeside not far from the bamboo forest, a figure stood with its hands behind.
The moonlight passed through the sparse branches and green leaves, casting heavy shadows on his face. He couldn't see the expression on his face, but there was a calm and calm breath on his body, which was still turbulent when surrounded by powerful enemies. Shocked momentum.
Qin Jiu had been here for a long time looking at Yan Su's stand still.
At least, he heard the music in the bamboo forest and saw Xiao Lebai and Yuan Ba ​​who had left, but he cleverly did not let Xiao Lebai and Yuan Ba ​​find him.
Qin Jiu suddenly curled her lips and smiled, her smile blooming in the night, like a beautiful and elegant flower, but it contained a sadness that no one could detect.
"It's so late, Your Highness really has a leisurely sentiment. What are you doing here? The environment here is gloomy. If you collide with a ghost or something, isn't your Highness afraid?" Qin Jiu said meaningfully.
Originally, Yan Su didn't seem to want to pay attention to Qin Jiu, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and walked towards Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu stopped, turning his head and narrowing his eyes to look at Yan Su who was walking by.
The night wind blew his long hair, revealing his face, this handsome and thrilling face, there is no expression at this moment, only cold, or cold. But when he reached him, he suddenly curled his lips and smiled, his smile full of sarcasm, like a thorny flower, revealing a dazzling style.
His eyes were like a knife, scorching shining, and staring at Qin Jiu, "The environment is gloomy? The Jiuye would really pick a place to date people here. Speaking of collisions with ghosts, Jiuye is not afraid. What am I afraid of? I am afraid that the people who died in the hands are not much less than in the hands of this king!"
Qin Jiu said ghosts because there are memories of him and her, and she is actually dead in the eyes of the world.
"That said, the prince is really not afraid!" Qin Jiu chuckled, "Sure enough, he is a cruel person."
"With each other!" Yan Su said with a sneer, "I have a word to advise Jiuye."
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows: "What do you say, but it doesn't matter what you say!"
"There are some things, this king advises Jiuye not to bother with this kind of thing!" Yan Su finished speaking and strode away.
Qin Jiu was a little surprised this time, and his heart moved slightly. Could it be that what Yan Su said was about Song Chen?
It should not be so easy to be seen!
Qin Jiu walked quickly towards the Chongren Hall, halfway through the road, met the loquat and durian who came to look for her.
"Lian'er, you have been in the hall just now, can Xie Dichen and Song Chen have a harmonious relationship?" Qin Jiu asked Durian.
Durian thought for a while and said, "It was good at the beginning, but later, Commander Xie didn't seem to take care of it."
Qin Jiu squinted his eyes, as expected!
Tanhua Lang Song Chen was actually the one arranged by Qin Jiu, who deliberately toasted at the Qionglin banquet and had trouble with her, which was also arranged in advance. The purpose of this was to allow Song Chen to invest in Yan Su's side. But I didn't expect that Yan Su could see through it in just one round.
When she left the temple, she remembered that Xie Dichen greeted Song Chen very happily.
She didn't know how Yan Su saw it.
Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and his heart sank slightly. Thinking of the poem written by Yun Mutian at the top of the list, and thinking of Loquat's protection after Song Chen did not toast her, I finally understood the problem.
When Yun Mutian made the poem to satirize her, the loquat was angry, but not angry. But when Song Chen didn't toast her, he came out to spend time with Song Chen. Perhaps it was here, let Yan Su see the clue. Because of Loquat's temperament, it has always been very quiet, without her orders, and rarely speaks.
"What's the matter?" Durian asked Qin Jiu tentatively, looking at Qin Jiu's face.
Qin Jiu shook his head, "It's okay, Xiajie drum is about to hit, let's go back to the house first."
2. Yellow and black cats
Since signing the covenant with Yan Yu, Qin Jiu has been busy with spring trials these days, and has never met Yan Yu before.
The next day, after Qin Jiu went to Sizhifang for a round, he took the sedan chair and went to the Yanwang Mansion. When the prince is an adult, he will open a mansion outside the palace. Since Yan Yu returned to Beijing a few years ago, he has been living in the imperial palace outside the palace.
After Yan Yu's butler notified him, he led Qin Jiu to the backyard of the palace.
When she arrived in the backyard, what Qin Jiu saw still surprised her.
There are no trees, flowers and grass in this backyard, but yellow sand that covers the yard. There are horses, dogs, eagles, and people in the yard.
Just above the yellow sand, there was a gorgeous sitting blanket, and Yan Yu sat on the blanket, directing the servants to race horses, fight dogs, and fight eagles.
In this environment, Yan Yu never let go of enjoyment.
Beside him, two of his four beauties, named Diao Chan and Zhao Jun, were holding a pipa and playing.
Yan Yu was dressed in a dazzling black loose gown, with ink hair half combed and half draped, reaching out to stroke the small animal in his arms. Yes, in his arms lay a black cat. He squinted his eyes very obediently, enjoying Yan Yu's touch.
The yellow hair in Qin Jiu's arms suddenly widened his eyes. It seemed to be particularly interested in this small animal that could enjoy the same treatment as its owner. With wings flapping, he flew over, hovered over Yan Yu's head for a while, and then landed on Qin Jiu's shoulder.
Qin Jiu stroked the yellow hair and said with a smile: "That's a black cat, don't mess with it."
Since the last time Huang Mao and Yan Yu clashed, Huang Mao has been very hostile to Yan Yu. Unexpectedly, Yan Yu is not a vegetarian either. Maybe it was because he felt that he was old and could not get along with a bird, which hindered his demeanor, and he did not know where to get a black cat.
It's really sinister!
"Black cat?!" Huang Mao repeated.
"Hey, black cats can eat birds!" Qin Jiu reminded the curious Huang Mao.
