„Who?” “谁？” Outside the front gate of winter snowy night, Xu Buling took off the bamboo hat, knocks on the front gate lightly: 冬日雪夜的院门外,许不令摘下了斗笠,轻叩院门: „Young Lady Ning, is I.” “宁姑娘,是我。” —— 哐—— In the courtyard heard the chaotic sound of footsteps, the backless stool as if falls down, ‚what to do what to do...... not to open the door......’ low voice whisper. 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 gate opens. 院门打开。 Ning Qingye in front gate slim and graceful, the expression is neither cold nor hot, nods a ritual slightly: 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 Xu comes......” “许公子来啦……” The Xu Buling facial features are amiable, lift the step to enter in the institute, the leaning head sizes up several: 许不令面容随和,抬步走进院里,偏头打量几眼: „Rested for several days, the Young Lady Ning wound may many?” “休息几天,宁姑娘伤可好些了？” „Unobstructive, the previous spoken language was heavier, but also looks at Young Master not to look goes at heart.” “已经无碍,上次言语重了些,还望公子别望心里去。” Ning Qingye said the manager to be big on the mountain, the bad worldly wisdom, did not have excessively to contact with the young man much. The previous mutual bad breath was mad, expelled Xu Buling, afterward thought treats to the benefactor cold words too overdone. 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 all Xu Buling inquired that the menstruation also cared, possibly aristocratic family Young Master did not regard the taboo these things. 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 Qingye has wanted to apologize, actually cannot wait for Xu Buling, but also thinks that Xu Buling was oversensitive, has the opportunity opens the mouth until this 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 Jianghu children, the straightforward side obviously real personality, does not need to be fastidious about so 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 Buling chuckle, looked in an instant to the courtyard, actually saw under the eaves, Zhu Manzhi turned away from him to squat near the wall, held the knee to shrink ball, cautious moved toward the door place, ‚you could not see I and you could not see me’ 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 Buling arrives gradually, lowers the head to size up several: 许不令缓步走到跟前,低头打量几眼: „Manzhi, are you doing really?” “满枝,你在做甚？” Zhu Manzhi face red must drop to bleed, dies to rigidly adhere to the knee, squats same place is not willing to set out, lifts the cheeks to show a very forced smile: 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, you come! At just the right moment......” “许公子,你来啦！真巧……” „Skillful what, is not you asks me to come?” “巧个什么,不是你叫我来的嘛？” Xu Buling partly squats in, slightly reveals the doubts sizes up. 许不令半蹲在跟前,略显疑惑的偏头打量。 Zhu Manzhi hurried transferred the half-turn, is turning away from Xu Buling, said anxiously: 祝满枝急急忙忙的转了半圈,背对着许不令,焦急道: „Young Master Xu, I am cold, is squatting warmly, being all right......” “许公子,我就是冷,蹲着暖和,没事儿的……” Slightly, Zhu Manzhi then felt that shoulder one warm, clothes threw over in body. 稍许,祝满枝便感觉肩头一暖,一件衣服披在了身上。 Zhu Manzhi wraps up oneself hastily, the clothes are very big, wrapped solid, relaxes. Then looks, the surcoat that Xu Buling takes off, only wears the unpadded garment to stand in the back, the corners of the mouth has 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: „Now isn't cold?” “现在不冷了吧？” „Thanks Young Master Xu......” “谢谢许公子……” Zhu Manzhi is eyeful, stands up, the gown too long reason, the skirt-width held in 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 winter wind and snow are deep and clear, the weather is very cold. 冬日风雪潇潇,天气很冷。 Ning Qingye sees Xu Buling to wear the unpadded garment, then lifts the hand to untie tying rope under neck, prepares to 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 Buling lifted the hand: „Do not escape, I do not freeze to death.” Then sat down by the small furnace. 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 Qingye sees this also to give up, peaceful sitting by the small furnace, 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 Buling is rubbing both hands, looks to side complexion red Zhu Manzhi: 许不令搓着双手,看向旁边脸色通红的祝满枝: „Looks for me, what good news having to be inadequate?” “把我找来,有什么好消息不成？” „Has Ah~” “有啊有啊~” Zhu Manzhi remembered the proper business finally, lifts the hand then to search into the gown, xi xi su su, does not detect right , the back passes away, hand puts in the front piece to try to find out to 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 correctly is doing. 哪怕是背对着,看动作也能猜出在干啥。 Xu Buling and Ning Qingye lifted the eyebrow simultaneously, the look is somewhat strange. 许不令和宁清夜同时抬了抬眉毛,神色有些怪异。 Perhaps is conceals is quite deep, Zhu Manzhi lowered the head to touch for quite a while, discovered by the small paper volume 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, me found from the official document storehouse.” “给,我从案牍库找到的。” Zhu Manzhi turns around, squats by Xu Buling, offers valuable advice spreading out palm. 祝满枝转过身来,蹲在许不令旁边,献宝似的摊开手掌。 Xu Buling blinks, asked ‚where embarrassedly you pull out’, lifted the hand to receive not the big paper volume, has a residual heat as 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 Qingye somewhat cannot bear, looked at the heavy snow to flutter about excessively, tightened the body fox 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 Buling is not the stone person, said that has not selected capriciously is definitely false, coughs to turn on the paper lightly, but swept one, complexion then fierce changes. 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 Hong two years in January 8 th, sends under custody Locking Dragon Gu to go to Youzhou from Chang'an, just before leaving when in the storehouse manages affairs the Jia Yi checkup , without the difference...... was this found in the official document storehouse?” “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 Manzhi chicken pecking meter/rice, say/way of smiling: „Yes!...... Heir Apparent Xu, how are you unhappy?” 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 Buling surface like dying embers. 许不令面如死灰。 Ning Qingye sat straight several points, was serious: 宁清夜坐直了几分,面色凝重: „In the storehouse is the government authorities prefectural repository, in imperial palace......” “内库是官家府库,在皇宫里面……” Zhu Manzhi nods: „Yes, this explained that Locking Dragon Gu really in imperial palace, finally had 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 Qingye was some fame knight-errant, Xu Buling had also said with her eventually these matters, was understands this news 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 Xu meets to bend down in the Wei River, does not know who the murderer is, the government authorities have been tracing, without the least bit news. Now found the Locking Dragon Gu news from the official document storehouse, but also stems from the palace, that definitely is the hand that Emperor moves, can kill first then to have for the second time...... Young Master Xu not to live to leave the day of capital.” “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 Manzhi feeling pleased expression one stiff, weak looked at Xu Buling one. 祝满枝喜滋滋的表情一僵,弱弱的望了许不令一眼。 Xu Buling looks at the paper silent moment, after gets back one's composure, shows several points of smile reluctantly, lifted the hand to pinch on the face of Zhu Manzhi under: 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 news is good.” “好样的,大功一件,有消息就好。” Zhu Manzhi hears formidable, happy does not get up, squats by Xu Buling, low voice whisper: 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. Emperor must kill your words, you definitely cannot run away, now what to do?” “皇帝老爷要杀你的话,你肯定跑不掉,现在怎么办呀？” Xu Buling shakes the head: „Western Liang deploys troops 200,000, I died in Chencang, can depend in the Jianghu head/number of people. If I died in Chang'an City, the royal government has 100 to open mouth also casts aside is unclear relates, Emperor does not dare to kill me...... to return in full to owner is not possible...... possibly to lie down, or cannot go back directly......” 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 Qingye brow is tight: „Can escape?” 宁清夜眉头紧蹙:“能不能逃掉？” Xu Buling sighed: „First did not say Locking Dragon Gu to be poisonous, Suzhou to the Chang'an eight mountain passes, the previous dynasty northwest's first strategic pass Qianyang pass/test, the royal government was stationed in ten ten thousand troops and horses along the way, said that is against Northern Qi goes south, in fact only against my Xu Family father and son. If I can live, only if the royal government is 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 Qingye complexion is even more dignified. The Jianghu person said is elusive, because person too many royal governments cannot manage. Really must deal with a person by the strength of whole nation, does not have to hide all 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。 Ten years ago Iron Eagle Hunting Deer are the living examples, many inheritance several hundred years of martial arts world aristocratic family stamped out the source of trouble, martial arts places in front of several hundred thousand cavalries again high is only also strong a point ant. 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 Manzhi marketplace was born, is also young, cannot think so many curved curve say/way, at this time also 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: „I slid secretly may have to experience, if really could not run away, I am certainly protecting Young Master......” “我偷溜可有经验了,要是真跑不掉,我一定护着公子……” Xu Buling chuckle, slightly thinking, knits the brows: 许不令轻笑了下,略微思索,又皱了皱眉: „News that Manzhi, where you found?” “满枝,你是在哪儿找到的消息？” The Zhu Manzhi careful recollection, earnestly receiving the assignment, entered the official document storehouse, to consult the dossier the process to repeat completely, then whispered: „Box fell many ashes, should to be processes the trace the time forgot this book......” 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 Buling is stroking gently finger, ponders over carefully for 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, your previous time sneaks official document Qursh not to discover, now just has relations with me, this news found, appeared coincidence too......” “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 Manzhi thinks: „But no one knows that I sneak into the official document storehouse inquiry news the matter, the book does not seem like counterfeits......” 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……” „On royal government mistrusts each other, the face possibly counterfeits with the cheek, a trace is too easy to fudge, if some people of source of trouble lead to the east may be the big deal...... regardless of the genuine and fake, gave a direction, first confirmed that this news truth said again......” “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", then no longer talks too much. 祝满枝‘哦’了一声后,便不再多言。 Xu Buling throws into the paper the stove, as light smoke hikes 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…… ------ ------ Vol. 1: Hidden Dragon scale shadow 第一卷:潜龙鳞影篇 Blackwater cold deep pool conceals scale shadow, thousand streets such as firm lock young dragon.( End) 黑水寒潭藏鳞影,千街如牢锁雏龙。(完) Vol. 2: This solitary one wolf by phoenix 第二卷:孤狼逐凤篇 The this solitary one wolf near the deep pool alone howling moon/month, dares on for nine days by the phoenix! 孤狼临渊独啸月,敢上九天逐凤凰！ Asks respectfully the anticipation...... 敬请期待……
