Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-fifth Chongguan Anger For A Beauty (3)
“Creak…”
After a teeth-gnashing sound, a small closed door in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion was pushed open from the inside. Immediately afterwards, a small lantern stretched out from the crack in the door and shook a few times.
After that, the little maid Zijuan poked her head out of the crack in the door, looked around nervously, and saw nothing was wrong. Then she sighed softly, ducked and ran out of the back door.
, turned back and waved to the door: "Miss, there is no one, hurry up!"
"Yeah." Zhao Qiong said absentmindedly behind the door, biting her red lips with silver teeth, looking back blankly in the direction of the main courtyard, with a look of struggle on her face. After all, this is the place where she has lived for fifteen years.
When it was time to leave his home, it was impossible for Zhao Qiong not to have the slightest scruples. Not to mention when he would be able to come back after leaving, it was hard to say whether the home would suffer catastrophic consequences due to his willfulness.
If there is an eventuality, Zhao Qiong couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the consequences.
"Miss, hurry up."
Zicuckoo waited for a long time, but when she saw that there was still no response from the door, she couldn't help but become anxious, lowered her voice, stamped her feet and called out softly.
"well……"
Zhao Qiong struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally made up her mind to leave. She finally looked at the main courtyard, sighed, and silently walked out of the courtyard. But the moment her footsteps landed outside the door, she felt a sudden feeling in her heart.
Once sore, two lines of clear tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Miss, come this way, quickly!"
Zijuan had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When she saw Zhao Qiong finally walking out of the door, she felt happy and hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Qiong's hand, and hurried out of the alley.
Qiong didn't struggle, she was dragged by Zicuckoo like a puppet, and the tears on her face kept flowing freely.
The night at 1:00 a.m. is not too deep. It is just the beginning of night life, especially in prosperous places like Luoyang. At this time, it is a great time to be drunk with music and music everywhere, not to mention the restaurants and singing houses.
The house was full of guests, and even the street was still very lively with many pedestrians. However, the alley in the backyard of Zhao Mansion was very quiet, because this alley was not only remote, but also a dead end, so it was usually very quiet.
Few people came here, so it was a bit desolate at the moment. Only the footsteps of the master and the servant echoed dullly in the empty alley. It felt like a ghost movie in the middle of the night.
People are not timid, and after working for a while, they could not help but feel a little bit chilly. But at this moment, they could no longer allow the two women to flinch, so they could only bite the bullet and move forward slowly.
"Who? Who is there? If you don't move away, I'm going to call someone!"
As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come true. As soon as the two women walked to the alley entrance with fear, they saw a tall figure standing at the alley entrance. They were all frightened immediately. Zijuan was eager to protect her master.
, hurriedly stopped in front of the pale Zhao Qiong, and threatened him with a trembling tone.
"Qiong'er, don't panic, it's me."
The person blocking the road sighed softly and turned around slowly.
"Your Highness!"
When Zhao Qiong heard this voice, it seemed that he was familiar. Then he looked through the light of the newly rising crescent moon and saw that the person blocking the road was actually Li Xian. He couldn't help but exclaimed, and his frightened heart instantly relaxed. This
As soon as it was loosened, the legs and feet became weak, unable to stand, and the whole body tilted and was about to fall down.
"Qiong'er!"
Seeing that Zhao Qiong's figure was skewed, Li Xian did not dare to neglect him. He shouted lowly, and in a flash, he appeared beside Zhao Qiong. He stretched out his hand and took Zhao Qiong into his arms.
"ah……"
Zhao Qiong had never been hugged like this in her life. When she felt the heat on Li Xian's body, her face turned red. She let out a soft cry and pushed lightly with her bare hands, trying to get out of Li Xian's arms. With his heart beating so fast, how could he possibly push away Li Xian's burly body? His heart panicked, and he fell into Li Xian's arms. He was struck by Li Xian's extremely strong thrust. As soon as his masculine energy surged, his eyes instantly became blurred.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hugging Zhao Qiong "again", Li Xian suddenly felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling in his heart. His heart trembled, and he was reluctant to let go of his hand. However, Zhao Qiong was already confused. The two of them hugged each other like this, and they seemed to have a tendency to hug each other forever. They were happy, but Zicuckoo, who was standing aside, became depressed. It had been a long time, and the couple was still hugging each other endlessly. At the same time, Zicuckoo couldn't help but let out a series of fake coughs.
"ah……"
Hearing the "disharmonious" sound coming from around him, Li Xian frowned in annoyance and decided to ignore it. However, Zhao Qiong was thin-skinned but did not dare to continue like this. He exclaimed and struggled hard. He broke out of Li Xian's arms and took two small steps back, lowering his head and not daring to look into Li Xian's eyes.
"Hehehe..."
Looking at Zhao Qiong's shy look, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh evilly, which made Zhao Qiong, who was already shy, even more embarrassed.
"Don't laugh, keep laughing, keep laughing!"
Zhao Qiong was a strong girl by nature. After being extremely embarrassed, she turned into anger. She stamped her foot, raised her pink fist, and started drinking angrily.
"Okay, okay, okay, I can't laugh alone, is that okay?"
Li Xian smiled evilly, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and replied jokingly.
"you!"
Zhao Qiong stamped her foot hatefully and rolled her eyes at Li Xian, as if she was having a seizure. But at the end, she couldn't help laughing, but she only laughed halfway. She suddenly thought of her situation and couldn't help but Sadness arose in his heart, and his face instantly darkened.
"Hey, silly girl, you're so panicked. Aren't you alone? It's okay!"
Li Xian lovingly stretched out his hand to rub Zhao Qiong's hair and said softly.
"Your Highness..."
Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Zhao Qiong couldn't help but tremble, raised her head, looked at Li Xian with hope, and called out softly.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of self-discipline. Qiong'er just stays at home and has a good time, and I'll leave the outside affairs to Gu."
Li Xian was familiar with Zhao Qiong's character, and he had already expected that this little girl would play the trick of running away from home, and came to Zhao's house to block people, just to ease Zhao Qiong's heart, so he was afraid. It was this little girl who did something stupid that she shouldn't have done. Seeing Zhao Qiong's eyes filled with suspicion, Li Xian nodded with a smile and said in a calm and sure tone.
"Um."
After all, this was the second time I met Li Xian, but for some reason, Zhao Qiong felt that they had been close friends for several lifetimes. Zhao Qiong did not have the slightest resistance to Li Xian's words and nodded vigorously. , said softly, but kept staring at Li Xian's eyes unblinkingly.
"Go back and wait for the good news from Gu."
Although Li Xian wanted to see each other endlessly, the situation was not right after all. If Zhao Qiong's disappearance was discovered in the Zhao Mansion, it would be a big storm. Moreover, Li Xian still had things to do next.
I had to forcefully suppress the desire in my heart, and looked at Zhao Qiong affectionately, then turned around and strode away from the alley, blending into the darkness within a few breaths.
"Miss, can we go yet?"
Zijuan saw Zhao Qiongmu staring blankly in the direction where Li Xian was leaving. There was no movement for a long time, so she had to call out softly, raised the small package in her hand, and asked in a low voice.
"go home."
Zhao Qiong took a deep breath, clenched her fists, turned around without hesitation, and walked down the dark alley to the backyard door. When Zicuckoo saw this, she stuck out her tongue playfully, ran forward with a smile, and said
The lantern in his hand lights the way for Zhao Qiong...
At the end of Xu Shi, the night is already a little late. Although there is no curfew, there are almost no pedestrians on the street. Even if there are, they are basically pleasure seekers returning home after enjoying themselves. Of course, they can only go home after this time.
Generally speaking, they are wealthy and leisurely people. They basically come home in horse-drawn carriages and rarely walk on the streets. However, there are exceptions to everything. Here, there is a group of about thirteen people.
, the four strong men staggered out of the Minglang Alley and walked happily along the East Street towards the Imperial City. They walked and made noise all the way without any concern whether this would disturb the sleep of others.
Arrogant? Yes, these strong men just want to be arrogant, not because of anything else, but because they are all officers of the Yulin Army. No matter how much trouble they make, no one dares to take care of it, not to mention the gang of officials and government officials in Luoyang Prefecture who dare not
No matter, even ordinary dignitaries would have to go around when they met someone from the Yulin Army. What’s more, there was a special person among these Yulin Army officers—Wang Yi, who had just been given a special marriage by Empress Wu.
, this is a person who is valued by Empress Wu. It is conceivable that this person will be of great use in the near future. Who in Luoyang dares to stroke the tiger's beard?
"Old Wang, you are not kind, you are all vain, you don't even drink wine, no, you will have to invite me again tomorrow."
"That's right, that's right, Lao Wang is about to return home with his beauty. One drink is not enough for such a big happy event, but three meals are enough at least!"
"Tch, little Li Zi is talking nonsense, what are the three meals? In my opinion, if you don't have ten or eight meals of wine, you can't let the brothers enjoy themselves. Big guys, tell me, is this the truth?"
"Yes, that's right, that's right, Lao Wang doesn't like cowards anymore, please come again, please come again!"
…
A group of strong men laughed and pushed a bearded officer. Their faces were full of undisguised jealousy, and they all wanted to kill him.
"Get out of here, I've already deprived you guys of food and drink of my salary for this month, so why don't you really ask us, Lao Wang, to sell your underpants?"
The bearded officer is Wang Yi. He is not a good person, but today he was not swayed by a group of colleagues, so he had to pay for the guests. He was worried about the expenses, so how could he be willing to bleed again, so unceremoniously?
He punched the colleague who made the most fuss in the chest and cursed with a smile.
"Hahaha……"
A group of Yulin Army officers laughed heartlessly. The laughter seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night sky, and immediately aroused protests - "You bastard, are you looking for death?
?”
Following the words, a dozen men who were also drunk wandered out of the alleys on the street, blocking the way of the officers of the Yulin Army...
