„Who?”
“谁?”Outside the front gate of wintersnowy night, Xu Bulingtook off the bamboo hat, knocks on the front gatelightly:
冬日雪夜的院门外,许不令摘下了斗笠,轻叩院门:„Young Lady Ning, isI.”
“宁姑娘,是我。”——
哐——In the courtyardheard the chaoticsound of footsteps, the backless stoolas iffalls down, ‚what to dowhat to do...... not to open the door......’low voicewhisper.
院子里传来杂乱无章的脚步声,板凳似乎倒在了地上,还有‘怎么办呀怎么办呀……别开门……’的小声嘀咕。zhī ya -—吱呀——
The front gateopens.
院门打开。Ning Qingyeinfront gateslim and graceful, the expressionis neither cold nor hot, nods a ritualslightly:宁清夜在院门内亭亭玉立,表情不冷不热,微微颔首一礼:„Young Master Xucomes......”
“许公子来啦……”
The Xu Bulingfacial featuresare amiable, lift the stepto enterin the institute, the leaningheadsizes upseveral:许不令面容随和,抬步走进院里,偏头打量几眼:„Rested for severaldays, the Young Lady Ningwoundmaymany?”
“休息几天,宁姑娘伤可好些了?”„Unobstructive, the previousspoken languagewas heavier, but alsolooks atYoung Masternot to lookgoesat heart.”
“已经无碍,上次言语重了些,还望公子别望心里去。”Ning Qingyesaid the managerto be bigon the mountain, the badworldly wisdom, did not haveexcessivelyto contactwith the young manmuch. The previousmutualbad breathwas mad, expelledXu Buling, afterwardthoughttreatsto the benefactorcold wordstoooverdone.宁清夜在山上道馆长大,不善人情世故,和年轻男子更是没有过多接触。上次互相嘴臭被气到了,把许不令撵了出去,事后又觉得对恩人冷言相待太过火。After allXu Bulinginquired that the menstruationalsocared, possiblyaristocratic familyYoung Masterdid not regard the taboothesethings.
毕竟许不令询问月事也是关心,可能世家公子本就不把这些事情当成禁忌吧。Ning Qingyehas wantedto apologize, actuallycannot wait forXu Buling, but alsothinks that Xu Bulingwas oversensitive, has the opportunityopens the mouthuntilthis time.宁清夜一直想道个歉,却等不来许不令,还以为许不令多心了,直到此时才有机会开口。„Is the Jianghuchildren, the straightforwardsideobviouslyrealpersonality, does not needto be fastidious aboutso many.”
“都是江湖儿女,直来直去方显真性情,不用讲究这么多。”
The Xu Bulingchuckle, lookedin an instantto the courtyard, actuallysawunder the eaves, Zhu Manzhiturned away fromhimto squatnear the wall, held the kneeto shrinkball, cautiousmovedtoward the doorplace, ‚youcould not seeIandyoucould not seeme’ the appearance.许不令轻笑了下,转眼看向院子里,却见屋檐下面,祝满枝背对着他蹲在墙边上,抱着膝盖缩成一团儿,小心翼翼的往房门处挪动,一副‘你看不见我、你看不见我’的模样。
Nearby Xu Bulingarrivesgradually, lowers the headto size upseveral:许不令缓步走到跟前,低头打量几眼:„Manzhi, are youdoingreally?”
“满枝,你在做甚?”Zhu Manzhifaceredmustdropto bleed, diesto rigidly adhere to the knee, squatssame place is not willingto set out, lifts the cheeksto show a veryforcedsmile:祝满枝脸儿红的似是要滴出血来,死死抱着膝盖,蹲在原地不肯起身,抬起脸颊露出一个很牵强的笑容:„Young Master Xu, youcome! At just the right moment......”
“许公子,你来啦!真巧……”„Skillfulwhat, is notyouasksmeto come?”
“巧个什么,不是你叫我来的嘛?”Xu Bulingpartlysquatsin, slightlyreveals the doubtssizes up.许不令半蹲在跟前,略显疑惑的偏头打量。Zhu Manzhihurriedtransferred the half-turn, is turning away fromXu Buling, saidanxiously:祝满枝急急忙忙的转了半圈,背对着许不令,焦急道:„Young Master Xu, Iamcold, is squattingwarmly, being all right......”
“许公子,我就是冷,蹲着暖和,没事儿的……”Slightly, Zhu Manzhithenfelt that shoulderonewarm, clothesthrew overinbody.
稍许,祝满枝便感觉肩头一暖,一件衣服披在了身上。Zhu Manzhiwraps uponeselfhastily, the clothesare very big, wrappedsolid, relaxes. Thenlooks, the surcoat that Xu Bulingtakes off, onlywears the unpadded garmentto standin the back, the corners of the mouthhas a smile:祝满枝连忙把自己包住,衣服很大,包裹的严严实实,才松了口气。回头看去,许不令脱掉的外袍,只穿着单衣站在背后,嘴角含笑:„Nowisn't cold?”
“现在不冷了吧?”„ThanksYoung Master Xu......”
“谢谢许公子……”Zhu Manzhiis eyeful, stands up, the gowntoolongreason, the skirt-widthheldin the ground.祝满枝满眼窘迫,站起身来,袍子太长的缘故,下摆托在了地面上。
The winterwind and snoware deep and clear, the weatheris very cold.
冬日风雪潇潇,天气很冷。Ning QingyeseesXu Bulingto wear the unpadded garment, thenlifts the handto untietying rope under neck, preparesto take off the fox fur coat,宁清夜见许不令身着单衣,便抬手解开脖子下的系绳,准备把狐裘脱下来,Xu Bulinglifted the hand: „Do not escape, Ido not freeze to death.”Thensat downby the smallfurnace.
只是许不令抬了抬手:“别脱了,我冻不死。”便在小炉旁边坐下了。Ning Qingyeseesthisalso to give up, peacefulsittingby the smallfurnace, kept silent.宁清夜见此也只得作罢,安静的坐在了小炉旁边,不言不语。Xu Bulingis rubbingboth hands, lookstosidecomplexionredZhu Manzhi:许不令搓着双手,看向旁边脸色通红的祝满枝:„Looks forme, whatgoodnewshavingto be inadequate?”
“把我找来,有什么好消息不成?”„Has Ah~”
“有啊有啊~”Zhu Manzhiremembered the proper businessfinally, lifts the handthento searchinto the gown, xixisusu, does not detectright , the backpasses away, handputs in the front pieceto try to find outto seek.祝满枝总算是想起了正事,抬手便探入袍子,窸窸窣窣,察觉不对,又背过身去,手儿伸进衣襟摸索寻找。Even if turning away, looked that the movement can also guess correctlyis doing.
哪怕是背对着,看动作也能猜出在干啥。Xu BulingandNing Qingyelifted the eyebrowsimultaneously, the lookis somewhat strange.许不令和宁清夜同时抬了抬眉毛,神色有些怪异。Perhapsisconcealsis quite deep, Zhu Manzhilowered the headto touchfor quite a while, discoveredby the smallpapervolume of oppression.
或许是藏的比较深,祝满枝低着头摸了半天,才找出了倍受压迫的小纸卷。„To, mefoundfrom the official documentstorehouse.”
“给,我从案牍库找到的。”Zhu Manzhiturns around, squatsbyXu Buling, offers valuable advicespreading outpalm.祝满枝转过身来,蹲在许不令旁边,献宝似的摊开手掌。Xu Bulingblinks, asked‚whereembarrassedlyyoupull out’, lifted the handto receive not the bigpapervolume, has a residual heatas before.许不令眨了眨眼睛,也没好意思问‘你从哪儿掏出来的’,抬手接过不大的纸卷,依旧带着点点余温。Ning Qingyesomewhatcannot bear, looked at the heavy snowto flutter aboutexcessively, tightened the bodyfox fur coat.宁清夜有些受不了,偏过头望着大雪纷飞,紧了紧身上的狐裘。Xu Bulingis not the stoneperson, said that has not selectedcapriciouslyis definitely false, coughsto turn on the paperlightly, butsweptone, complexionthenfiercechanges.许不令不是石头人,说没点心猿意马肯定是假的,轻咳一声打开纸张,只是扫了一眼,脸色便猛的一变。„Zhao Hongtwoyears in January8 th, sends under custodyLocking Dragon Guto go toYouzhoufromChang'an, just before leaving when in the storehousemanages affairs the Jia Yicheckup , without the difference...... was thisfoundin the official documentstorehouse?”
“昭鸿二年正月初八,自长安押送锁龙蛊前往幽州,临行时与内库掌事贾易核对,无异样……这是在案牍库找到的?”Nod of Zhu Manzhichickenpeckingmeter/rice, say/way of smiling: „Yes!...... Heir Apparent Xu, how are youunhappy?”祝满枝小鸡啄米似的点头,笑眯眯的道:“是啊!……许世子,你怎么不开心?”Xu Bulingsurfacelikedying embers.许不令面如死灰。Ning Qingyesatstraightseveralpoints, was serious:宁清夜坐直了几分,面色凝重:„In the storehouseis the government authoritiesprefectural repository, inimperial palace......”
“内库是官家府库,在皇宫里面……”Zhu Manzhinods: „Yes, thisexplained that Locking Dragon Gureallyinimperial palace, finallyhad the clue.”祝满枝点了点头:“是啊,这就说明锁龙蛊真的在皇宫里面,终于有线索了。”Ning Qingyewassomefameknight-errant, Xu Bulinghad also saidwithhereventuallythesematters, wasunderstandsthisnews the meaning:宁清夜终究是有些名气的游侠儿,许不令又和她说过这些事,自是明白这个消息的含义:„Young Master Xumeetsto bend downin the Wei River, does not knowwho the murdereris, the government authoritieshave been tracing, without the least bitnews. Nowfound the Locking Dragon Gunewsfrom the official documentstorehouse, but alsostems from the palace, thatdefinitelyis the hand that Emperormoves, cankillfirstthento have for the second time...... Young Master Xunot to liveto leavethe day ofcapital.”
“许公子在渭河遇伏,一直不知道凶手是谁,官家一直在追查,没有半点消息。现在从案牍库找到了锁龙蛊的消息,还出自宫中,那肯定是皇帝动的手,能杀第一便有第二次……许公子活不到离开京城那天了。”„—!”
“啊—!”Zhu Manzhifeeling pleasedexpressiononestiff, weaklooked atXu Bulingone.祝满枝喜滋滋的表情一僵,弱弱的望了许不令一眼。Xu Bulinglooks at the papersilentmoment, after gets back one's composure, showsseveralpoints of smilereluctantly, lifted the handto pinchon the face of Zhu Manzhiunder:许不令看着纸条沉默片刻,回神过后,勉强露出几分笑容,抬手在祝满枝的脸上捏了下:„Great, great merit, having the newsis good.”
“好样的,大功一件,有消息就好。”Zhu Manzhihearsformidable, happydoes not get up, squatsbyXu Buling, low voicewhisper:祝满枝听到其中利害,自是高兴不起来了,蹲在许不令旁边,小声嘀咕:„Mr.Emperormustkillyourwords, youdefinitelycannot run away, nowwhat to do?”
“皇帝老爷要杀你的话,你肯定跑不掉,现在怎么办呀?”Xu Bulingshakes the head: „Western Liangdeploys troops200,000, IdiedinChencang, candependin the Jianghuhead/number of people. IfIdiedinChang'an City, the royal governmenthas100to open mouthalsocasts asideis unclearrelates, Emperordoes not dareto killme...... to return in full to ownerisnot possible...... possiblyto lie down, orcannot go backdirectly......”许不令摇了摇头:“西凉陈兵二十万,我在陈仓死了,可以赖在江湖人头上。我若是在长安城死了,朝廷有一百张嘴也撇不清关系,皇帝也不敢杀我……不过完璧归赵是不可能了……可能躺着回去,或者直接回不去……”
The Ning Qingyebrowis tight: „Canescape?”宁清夜眉头紧蹙:“能不能逃掉?”Xu Bulingsighed: „Firstdid not sayLocking Dragon Guto be poisonous, Suzhouto the Chang'aneightmountain passes, the previous dynastynorthwest'sfirststrategic passQianyangpass/test, the royal governmentwas stationed intenten thousandtroops and horsesalong the way, said that isagainstNorthern Qigoes south, in factonlyagainstmyXu Familyfather and son. IfIcanlive, only if the royal governmentis blind.”许不令叹了口气:“先不说锁龙蛊毒,肃州至长安八道关隘,还有前朝的西北第一雄关千阳关,朝廷沿途驻扎了十余万兵马,说是防北齐南下,实际上只防我许家父子两人。我若是能活着走过去,除非朝廷眼瞎。”
The Ning Qingyecomplexionis even more dignified. The Jianghupersonsaidiselusive, becausepersontoomanyroyal governmentscannot manage. Reallymustdeal with a personby the strength of whole nation, does not haveto hideall over the world.宁清夜面色越发凝重。江湖人说是来无影去无踪,只是因为人太多朝廷管不过来罢了。真要以举国之力对付一个人,普天之下根本无所遁形。Tenyears ago Iron Eagle Hunting Deer are the livingexamples, manyinheritanceseveral hundredyears of martial arts worldaristocratic familystamped out the source of trouble, martial artsplacesin front ofseveral hundred thousandcavalriesagainhigh is only also strong a pointant.
十年前的铁鹰猎鹿便是活生生的例子,多少传承数百年的武林世家被斩草除根,武艺再高放在几十万铁骑面前也不过是只强一点的蚂蚁罢了。
The Zhu Manzhimarketplacewas born, is also young, cannot thinkso manycurvedcurvesay/way, at this timealso can only whisper:祝满枝市井出生,年龄又小,自是想不到那么多弯弯道道,此时也只能嘀咕一句:„Islidsecretlymayhaveto experience, ifreallycould not run away, Iam certainly protectingYoung Master......”
“我偷溜可有经验了,要是真跑不掉,我一定护着公子……”Xu Bulingchuckle, slightlythinking, knits the brows:许不令轻笑了下,略微思索,又皱了皱眉:„News that Manzhi, whereyoufound?”
“满枝,你是在哪儿找到的消息?”
The Zhu Manzhicarefulrecollection, earnestlyreceiving the assignment, entered the official documentstorehouse, to consult the dossier the processto repeatcompletely, thenwhispered: „Boxfellmanyashes, shouldtobeprocesses the trace the timeforgotthisbook......”祝满枝仔细回想,认认真真把接到差事、进入案牍库、查阅卷宗的过程全部复述了一遍,然后嘀咕道:“箱子落了好多灰,应到是处理痕迹的时候忘了这本册子……”Xu Bulingis stroking gentlyfinger, ponders overcarefullyfor a long time, shakes the head:许不令摩挲着手指,仔细琢磨许久,摇了摇头:„It is not quite right, yourprevioustimesneaksofficial documentQurshnot to discover,nowjusthasrelationswithme, thisnewsfound, appearedcoincidencetoo......”
“不太对,你上次潜入案牍库什么都没发现,如今刚和我扯上点儿关系,这个消息找到了,出现的太巧合……”Zhu Manzhithinks: „Butno oneknows that Isneak into the official documentstorehouseinquirynews the matter, the bookdoes not seem likecounterfeits......”祝满枝想了想:“可是没人知道我溜进案牍库打探消息的事儿啊,册子也不像是作假……”„Onroyal governmentmistrusts each other, the facepossiblycounterfeitswith the cheek, a traceis too easyto fudge, if some people of source of troublelead to the eastmaybe the big deal...... regardless of the genuine and fake, gave a direction, firstconfirmed that thisnewstruthsaidagain......”
“朝廷上尔虞我诈,脸都可能用面皮作假,一点痕迹太容易动手脚,万一有人祸水东引可就出大事了……不过无论真假,都给了个方向,先证实这个消息真伪再说吧……”
After Zhu Manzhi"Oh", thenno longertalks too much.祝满枝‘哦’了一声后,便不再多言。Xu Bulingthrows into the paper the stove, aslight smokehikes up, is reduced to ashes......许不令将纸条丢进火炉之中,随着一阵青烟飘起,化为了灰烬……------
