He was puzzled. He walked a few steps to the row of windows facing the street and looked up.
There are a total of eight windows facing the street, all of which are tightly closed. The warm yellow candlelight shines on the window paper, and little shadows sway like the wind and are as charming as water.
He hesitated while looking at the window, hesitating whether to leave or to stay.
I was afraid of missing some important clues when I left, but it was really inappropriate to stay on.
Just when the two were hesitating, candlelight flickered behind one of the eight windows, and the big kang was extremely hot, but the atmosphere was quite condensed, and there was no beautiful scenery at all.
The man was wrapped in a brocade quilt and sitting on the big kang. The water-red curtains were torn off at some point. Most of them were piled on the kang, and the remaining ones were dragged on the ground, rising and falling like flames.
"Stinky girl, you're going to demolish the house." The man roared. He seemed a little hot and loosened his pine brocade quilt, revealing his moon-white shirt.
His bun was pulled loose, and his crown was thrown at his feet, but he was not embarrassed at all with his disheveled hair. The outline of his face was soft, and his eyebrows were not sharp at all. The slightly upward eyes exuded amorous feelings. Thousands of kinds.
The girl changed into night clothes and was lying on a bed not far away. She was playing with a dagger in her hand and said, "What can you do in this room?"
The man's eyes squinted and he glared at the girl like water, with a hint of emotion in his anger.
The girl curled her lips in disgust, widened her eyes and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't have enough concentration to bear it."
The man raised his hand, covering his nose and mouth with the broad sleeves of his moon-white shirt, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes. His voice was seductive, like a cat's claws gently scratching people's hearts: "See what you said, If you can't bear it, then stop resisting, I'm just here to have fun."
The girl felt a chill: "Shut up, you're so disgusting."
The man snorted and smiled in a normal voice, steady and clear: "Hey, I said, you can't stay here all the time, you're ruining my reputation."
"Reputation? Do you have it?!" The girl raised her eyebrows and sneered: "You have already been reduced to making a living here, so what reputation do you need!!"
The man frowned and became quite angry: "Go, go, go away, don't delay my business."
The girl raised her chin towards the closed window and pursed her lips with a smile: "Go and see if they have left."
"If you don't go, why should I go? It's up to you to see for yourself."
"Not going?"
"If you don't go, you won't go even if you kill me."
With a thud, the girl plunged the dagger into the food table, and her voice was buzzing and exciting: "Believe it or not, I will strip you naked and throw you down."
The man trembled and said aggrievedly: "Just go, why are you so cruel?"
He slowly approached the window facing the street, carefully opened a gap, and looked down intently.
Red lanterns were hung under every window facing the street, and the bright and dazzling light illuminated half of the winding alley as bright as day. Let alone hiding a person, even a cat had to make this light visible. .
Although doing this costs candles, it has a great advantage, which is to prevent the disobedient brats from jumping out of the window and escaping. As long as everyone moves from the window, the group of inhumane thugs living around the corner can be seen instantly. arrive.
There was once a boy who jumped out of the window to escape, but was swarmed by thugs, stripped naked and thrown into the snow. Before dawn, he was surrounded by people and he was already so cold that he begged for mercy.
The man glanced at the figure under the lamp and closed the window gently: "He's still there. There's only one person. I think the other one is still at the back door."
The girl choked up: "You're so damn patient."
The man chuckled and said, "This kid is really tolerant. He has been suspicious of you for a long time, but he still keeps pretending to be so nice and trusting to you. If it were me, I would have strangled you to death."
The girl swayed her legs carelessly and raised her eyebrows: "Otherwise I could be the young envoy of the Department of Internal Health, and you could only be a nail buried in the waiter's tavern."
It turned out that the person guarding downstairs was Han Changmu, the Major Envoy of the Internal Security Department. It was no wonder that he refused to stay in the waiter's house. I was afraid that if he sat here for a while, the Major Envoy of the Internal Security Department would be there tomorrow morning. The rumor about visiting the tavern late at night should have spread throughout Chang'an City.
I'm afraid that this rumor will change in a few moments, and I can think of the rumor that has changed with my heels.
Hey, Prince Han has never married a wife in his late thirties, just because of this shameful habit! ! !
It was freezing outside, and as the night deepened, it became more and more gloomy. Snow was floating silently between the sky and the earth. Through the pale white window paper, goose-feather-like snowflakes were flying. After a while, the eaves of the opposite house There was a patch of gray on it.
The man opened another crack in the window, and the cold wind blew in the snow flakes. He looked down against the wind and saw the man huddled under the protruding eaves. He could no longer see his figure. He could only see A long and thin shadow swayed on the ground, and the flying snow kept falling on the shadow, illuminating the eyes.
He exclaimed: "I'm still standing guard outside, and I'm not afraid of freezing to death.
The girl glanced at her and said, a little anxiously: "It's almost the appointed time. If you don't go, it will be too late."
The man also suppressed his careless smile: "What should I do? Han Changmu is very good at Qinggong, and you can't get rid of him."
The girl glanced for a moment, opened the window suddenly, picked up the pastel flower bag and threw it down. With a crash, her voice was high-pitched and sharp: "You shameless bitch, why, I asked you to serve this girl, I am wronging you." ”
The man looked at each other in shock, came to his senses quickly, and slapped himself in the face with a loud sound. He was very cruel, and a bright red slap mark suddenly appeared on his face. He tremblingly apologized and begged for mercy: "I know you're guilty, villain." , please forgive me."
The girl turned her head and raised her eyebrows, smiling, and then threw things down, including candlesticks, cups, vases and antiques. The sound of hitting something was loud and clear, and it could make half a street noisy.
The man was horrified when he saw it, and he clicked his tongue twice in pain: "Take it easy, this is all money, and it will all be deducted from my money."
The girl snorted: "You are a traveler, but you still lack this little money?" As she said this, she lowered her head and saw that the ground was in a mess, and porcelain shards flew under the raised eaves. Han Changmu couldn't stand down there either. , and quickly walked out of the eaves.
The opportunity was too good to miss, so she winked at the man.
The man immediately brought the copper basin over.
The girl suddenly opened all the windows, and the man threw the basin of water out without hesitation.
With a splash, a basin full of water spread out in mid-air. The water droplets were crystal clear and the chill was overwhelming. They all poured on Han Changmu's body.
On a winter night in Chang'an City, even if a drop of water does not turn into ice, pouring a basin full of water on one's body can still make a person faint from the cold.
Before Han Changmu came to his senses, the girl slammed the window, put on a thick long coat over her night clothes, opened the door and chased the man from upstairs while yelling and beating him. downstairs.
Such a big movement had already alerted the people in the tavern. The owner of the tavern rushed over with his thugs, and saw the mark of a slap on the man's face at a glance. He was flattering and comforting, and occasionally mixed in a sentence and a half The threat finally calmed down the girl's anger.
Han Changmu stood in the street, stunned, his face was livid, and his whole body was shaking. He couldn't tell whether he was cold or angry. The basin of water soaked him thoroughly, and the water fell all over the ground.
The smell of powder in the water was very strong, and he sighed happily.
Fortunately, it is face wash water and not foot wash water.
The hidden stake guarding the back door heard the noise and rushed to the front door. What he saw was Han Changmu's embarrassed appearance.
He felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be silenced, but he couldn't really pretend to be silent. He thought about it and said cautiously: "Sir, let's go back."
Han Changmu grinded his teeth and uttered two words coldly: "No reply."
If he hadn't wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, he would have rushed upstairs to catch someone. How could he endure it until now, when water was poured on him.
When An Zhuang heard Han Changmu's words, he was stunned for a moment: "Sir, how can you pursue me?"
Han Changmu glanced at the hidden pile and said coldly: "You go back first, I have my own arrangements."
Hidden Zhuang Ying claimed that he was, not daring to look at Han Changmu for a second, and turned around and left.
"Tonight's events are not allowed to be spread to outsiders." Han Changmu's voice came coldly.
An Zhuang trembled and said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I will never talk too much."
The restaurant calmed down, and the girl walked through the yard with ease, walked to the back door, and climbed out of the wall very neatly.
At this time, the curfew was already in place, the gates of the square were closed, and the servants patrolled the square in shifts.
The girl skillfully avoided the patrolling guards and quickly arrived under the hidden wall.
The wall that was as tall as one person seemed to be nothing in her eyes.
She took off her long coat, took a few steps back, ran forward quickly, stepped on the wall with her feet and jumped up, put her hands on the top of the wall, and turned over as light as a swallow. Like an autumn leaf that has lost its moisture, it swirled and landed lightly on the ground without making any sound.
This set of moves to climb over the wall was smooth and smooth, and even more natural than the move the eldest girl made just now while visiting the waiter's shop.
A thin layer of flying snow accumulated on the wall. The girl's hands were on the wall, brushing off a layer of snow, but she didn't make any attempt to hide it. It was as if she was digging through her own backyard, extremely arrogant.
There are 108 squares in Chang'an City, and the streets and alleys criss-cross the squares. Jinwu Guards is in charge of patrols and warnings in the palace and Chang'an City, beacons, roads, water and grass matters. After the curfew, there will be Wuhou Pu Guards and guards were assigned to guard the large and small city gates. The cavalry patrolled the streets and alleys on horseback according to the monthly route, while the secret sentries were hidden in the night and conducted secret investigations according to the espionage routes adjusted daily by the left and right street envoys.
The entire city of Chang'an is under strict surveillance by the Jinwu Guards, but no matter how strict the surveillance is, there will always be omissions.
