Chapter 142: Get Out
Draw the old picture of the tiger slaying the dragon and sighing, and the blood book is the phoenix's eyes withered. So far, the water of Pohu Lake has been exhausted, and there are no tears in the past?
This "Desperate Poem" was written by Concubine Lou after her husband Zhu Chenhao failed to rebel and was captured, and then jumped into Poyang Lake and committed suicide.
The "old picture" in this poem refers to the poem "Picking Wood", which probably means lamenting that her husband did not listen to his advice and continued to take risks to rebel, but now he has failed and been captured, and the Ningwang Mansion will be exterminated by the Zhulian clan, which can be described as crying blood.
Of course, now that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has not rebelled, Concubine Lou naturally has not made this poem yet, but maybe it is the induction of heaven and man, or she is too familiar with her own poetic style, Concubine Lou felt that it would be written by herself as soon as she saw this half of the poem, and it was very substitutional, so her face turned pale in an instant.
Concubine Lou was well aware of her husband Zhu Chenhao's ambitions, and as early as when today's son ascended the throne, she had the intention of replacing him, and did everything possible to restore the three guards of the palace.
Therefore, Concubine Lou was worried all day long, and she usually dreamed of the tragic scene of Ning Wangfu being killed after her husband's failed rebellion. At this time, when I saw Xu Jin's half of the poem with a sense of substitution, I suddenly felt frightened, grabbed the piece of paper into a ball, and said in a trembling voice: "Xu Jin, this half of the poem is really what you dreamed of?" ”
Xu Jin sighed secretly, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was doomed to fail in his rebellion, and the final destination of Concubine Lou in front of him was also destined to be the floating corpse in Poyang Lake, nodded and said, "That's true!" ”
Concubine Lou clung to the paper ball, due to excessive force, the green tendons on her wrists were all bent, her heart was full of turbulence, and her body was shaky.
Those eunuchs couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding what kind of poem Xu Jin had written, which made the princess Niangniang feel like this.
Seeing this, the maidservant Fluttershy hurriedly came over to support Concubine Lou, glaring at Xu Jin fiercely, she really regretted interceding in front of the princess for this guy, otherwise she wouldn't have done so much.
After a long time, Concubine Lou's emotions gradually calmed down, and at this time, Xu Jin's gaze had changed a little, and she forced herself to calm down: "What about the second half of this poem?" ”
Xu Jin shook his head and said: "That night, there was thunder and lightning, and I was woken up by a thunderbolt, so this poem only has two sentences. ”
Since you want to flicker, you naturally have to flicker a little, add some mysterious and mysterious things, and it is most suitable to flicker the ancients who believe in ghosts and gods, and it is said that Xiaowan's girl has been fooled by Xu Jin like this.
Concubine Lou originally believed in Buddhism, and when she heard it, her face turned even paler, and she suddenly woke up to a rumor that was circulating some time ago, someone saw two dragons, one white and one black, fighting in the sky on a night of thunder and lightning, and the black dragon was defeated......
"Could it be that this is a sign that the husband's rebellion will fail?" Concubine Lou had a terrible thought in her heart, and she couldn't help but tremble lightly, rebellion is a big crime for the nine clans, not to mention Ning Wangfu, even her own family may not be able to escape.
Fluttershy is shocked and angry, and shouts, "Come on, drag this scholar who scared the princess down and beat him." ”
Xu Jin's face couldn't help but change slightly, damn, this medicine is too fierce!
The two palace guards immediately pounced on Xu Jin like wolves, but fortunately, Concubine Lou came back to her senses at this time and shouted: "Stop, all retreat!" ”
The two guards were a little stunned, they were called in twice in a row and had to quit, is the princess bored and playing?
Concubine Lou looked at Xu Jin with a complicated expression, she was not a stupid woman, she naturally considered that Xu Jin deliberately imitated her tone and poetic style to write half a poem in order to get by.
But to be able to come up with such a half poem in such a short period of time to deceive himself, then this son's talent is too amazing, and it is not much better than Cao Zhi, who wrote poems in seven steps in ancient times.
However, Concubine Lou prefers to believe that this is what Xu Jin dreamed of, and this is an omen from heaven to wake up herself.
Concubine Lou retracted her gaze and said a little weakly, "Fluttershy, take the tooth tag and send him out of the palace and go out through the West Corner Gate." ”
Xu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously a layer of fine sweat had appeared on his back, and there was no danger, so he finally passed the test in confusion, and bowed and said: "Princess Xie, I am leaving!" ”
Fluttershy says coldly, "Come with me!" ”
Fluttershy took the tooth card and led Xu Jin to the west corner gate of the palace, just as the prince of Ning entered the palace from the main gate with the guards, and went straight to Xingyun.
"Mother!" Brother Zhu was sweating profusely and ran into the apricot garden, and Concubine Lou was burning the paper on which she had written half a poem to ashes.
Concubine Lou frowned and looked at her sweaty and disheveled son, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zong'er, you have an untidy appearance, you can be decent, carefully your father saw and reprimanded you." ”
Brother Zhu said nonchalantly: "My father is not in the house here, as long as my mother doesn't say it, who dares to chew the root of my tongue." By the way, what about Xu Jin? ”
Concubine Lou said lightly: "I'm sent out of the house!" ”
"Mother, you ...... How can you let him go, Huang Zhong chased after him quickly and arrested the person back. King Ning Shizi shouted and walked out, and Huang Zhong and a few guards rushed out of Xingyun as fast as possible.
"Zong'er, come back!" Concubine Lou hurriedly shouted, but unfortunately Brother Zhu didn't pay attention to it at all, it took so much effort, how could he be willing to let Xu Jin run away.
"How can it be!" Concubine Lou was so angry that she stomped her feet, and this son became less and less concerned about himself.
Fluttershy led Xu Jin through the corridor and walked for nearly ten minutes to the west corner gate of the palace, where Xu Jin finally saw how big a prince's mansion was, but think about it, there are thousands of people in the mansion, and if the mansion is not big, it will not be able to accommodate so many people.
Fluttershy shows the tooth tag to the guard guarding the door, who examines it before opening it.
Xu Jin walked out of the corner gate, and at this time, the big stone hanging in his heart was finally completely put down, and he was worried that the prince of Ning Wang would run out and make a hindrance along the way, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"Xu Jin thanked Fluttershy for her help!" Xu Jin arched the arch.
Fluttershy snorted, "Hurry up and go, if you are caught by His Royal Highness the Prince again, the princess will not be able to save you, so you can do it yourself!" ”
"Miss Fluttershy, take your leave!"
"Wait a minute, you hold this lantern, it's dark outside, be careful to break your head and bleed!" Fluttershy hands over a lantern.
Xu Jin was sweating, it seemed that this person was also a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted, took the lantern and thanked him and left.
Fluttershy watches Xu Jin walk away, then returns to the corner gate and asks the guards to close the door, only to run into the Yellow Guards who are chasing after him menacingly.
Fluttershy chuckled in her heart, she naturally recognized Huang Zhong as His Royal Highness, and probably got the news to catch the little scholar named Xu Jin.
When Huang Zhong sees Fluttershy, he is overjoyed and leads the group to the West Corner Gate.
It is said that Ning Wangfu is very large, and there are many large and small gates in and out, and Huang Zhong also inquired all the way to chase here, and at this time, he saw the princess's personal maid near the West Corner Gate, and naturally immediately guessed that someone went out from the West Corner Gate.
Besides, Xu Jin carried the lantern for a while, and the result was ...... Lost!
It is said that since Xu Jin came to Nanchang, he has only been to the Tengwang Pavilion and has stayed in the inn almost every day, so let alone that it is night, I am afraid that even during the day, it will take a lot of effort to find the way back to the Gaosheng Inn.
At this time, Xu Jin hesitated at the mouth of a crossroads with a lantern, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, if he walks blindly like this, I'm afraid that he won't be able to return to the inn until dawn, let alone take the hospital exam, which is no different from not leaving the palace?
Just as Xu Jin was in trouble, he suddenly saw a figure flash from the corner of the alley on his left hand, but he immediately shrank back.
Xu Jin was overjoyed, it was not easy to meet a living person at night, so whether it was a thief who haunted at night or not, he ran quickly to the alley with a lantern, ready to ask for directions to this person.
"Don't get me wrong, brother, I just want to ask for directions!" Xu Jin walked to the corner of the alley with the lantern and shouted in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures flashed around the corner one after another, and everyone's eyes were relatively stunned.
The three people who flashed out from behind the corner were none other than Xie Erjian, Zhao Xing, and Er Niu.
"Brother-in-law, did you escape by yourself?" Xie Erjian was surprised and delighted.
It is said that Xie Erjian learned that Xu Jin was caught in Ning Wangfu, and immediately ran to the south of the city, but because he was not familiar with the streets, he looked for a long time to find the location of Ning Wangfu, and was planning to find out the terrain and then sneak in to save people, who knew that when he just turned to the west wall of the palace, he ran into a man carrying a lantern, and thought it was the husband who was patrolling the night, who knew that it was his brother-in-law Xu Jin.
Xu Jin was also overjoyed when he saw Xie Erjian and the others, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave first!" ”
The four of them were about to leave, and a group of people had already appeared at the entrance of the alley with lanterns, and it was the Wangfu guards who were biting their tails and chasing them.
When Huang Zhong saw Xu Jin, he couldn't help but rejoice: "The sour son surnamed Xu is here, brothers, catch him!" ”
"Brother Zhao, Erniu, you take your brother-in-law away first, and I'll play with them!" After Xie Erjian finished speaking, he greeted the guards.
Xu Jin knew that Xie Erjian's martial arts were strong, and there were only five guards chasing him, and with the ability of the second brother-in-law, even if he was defeated, he could easily escape, so he told him not to fall in love with the war and left with Erniu Zhao Xing first.
When Huang Zhong saw that Xu Jin was about to run, he immediately took the lead in rushing up, and the other four guards also rushed over.
Bang bang bang......
Just a face, several palace guards were put to the ground by Xie Lao Er, Huang Zhong also received a punch in the chest, took two steps back, stared at Xie Erjian in surprise, suddenly his face changed slightly, and blurted out: "It's you!" ”
It is said that when Xu Jin returned to the village to worship his ancestors, he encountered thieves blocking the road and robbing him, and Huang Zhong was the archer who hid on the hillside, but later he was shot by Xie Erjian with an arrow in the shoulder, and he reacted quickly and ran away, or he was already a dead soul under the arrow.
It was the enemy who met him, and his eyes were red, and Huang Zhongzheng pulled out his waist knife.
