Chapter 320, Assassination in the Night
Shangguan Yi was mostly on duty in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites during the day, and the affairs were complicated, and he was able to relax at night, but because Shi Yunyang came back, Shangguan Yi was also very concerned about everyone, and he had already entertained a round on the first night, and at night, he ordered someone to pack up the wine and food to entertain everyone in the mansion.
The conversation was very pleasant, and after three rounds of drinking, except for Luo Xiaocheng and Shangguan Tingzhi, everyone else was flushed and drunk. Ran Tianluo retired early, accompanied by a maid to rest. Luo Xiaocheng and Shangguan Tingzhi still respected and persuaded each other bowl after bowl, and the hall was full of laughter.
Shangguan Yi has been observing Shi Yunyang, Shi Yunyang doesn't say much, as if he has been drinking stuffy wine, Shangguan Yi thinks about his thoughts, and he is still thinking about the family affair with the Ouyang family.
Shangguan Yi picked up the cup and said, "Chengfeng, come, have a drink with your father." Shi Yunyang raised his glass and drank it all. Shangguan Yi put down the cup and said, "Today I saw Lord Ouyang above the court. He doesn't know how he found out about your return home, and said that he would like to see you tonight. ”
Shi Yunyang was stunned, someone from the Ouyang family was coming! Not many people knew about his return to the house, this news must have been said by Ouyang Jinglan, this morning could be regarded as really hurting her heart, Shi Yunyang suddenly felt that this Lord Ouyang was probably not good at coming this time.
Shi Yunyang was not afraid of him looking for his own trouble, all he was afraid of was that Lord Ouyang mentioned his marriage to Ouyang Jinglan, and the stone that pressed on his heart seemed to suddenly become heavier. But it's useless to think about anything now, and no matter what you do, it's hard to change the status quo.
"Lord Ouyang didn't say anything else?" Shi Yunyang asked.
"No, he heard that you were sick, so he wanted to see you, he used to appreciate you, he wanted to see you, it was reasonable, and his father could not refuse, so he had to agree. ”
Shi Yunyang nodded, and picked up the wine in his hand again, Shi Yunyang suddenly felt that the wine glass in his hand was so heavy, and the flickering elixir and jade liquid in the cup was originally very sweet, but at this time, it seemed to be full of sorrow. I felt bitter in my mouth.
After a while, Shi Yunyang got up and said, "The child is not strong enough to drink, and he is already drunk. The child went to rest first. Father, eldest brother, brother Luo. Brother Han, everyone enjoy. ”
Everyone said hello, Shangguan Yi nodded, Shi Yunyang bowed, and then withdrew. There were pieces of laughter in the hall again, but Shi Yunyang walked through the courtyard alone and walked towards the room.
Passing by the door of Ran Tianluo's house, seeing that the light was still on, he stopped, wanted to go in and have a look, so he knocked on the door. But as soon as his hand touched the door, it froze in the air. He was very complicated in his heart, and he really wanted to find someone to talk about, but among so many people, he was only able to talk about Ran Tianluo, but when he really wanted him to talk about it, Shi Yunyang suddenly found that he didn't have the courage to talk about this topic at all. What does he want to say, could it be that Master Ouyang may come to mention the marriage of the two families tomorrow night. Saying it only made her more sad. But if you don't say it, when the time comes, how should the two of them deal with it.
When Shi Yunyang was twitching, suddenly the door opened. It was a maid who opened the door, and when she saw Shi Yunyang standing outside the door, she was startled. She said, "Second Young Master, why are you here?"
Shi Yunyang said, "Did she sleep?"
The maid said, "The girl may have drunk a few more glasses, and she just vomited for a while." I've just fallen asleep now. Then the slave maid went to fetch water and scrub the girl. ”
"Go and fetch water, and give me a veil. Shi Yunyang stretched out her hand, and the maid hurriedly handed her the muslin handkerchief in her hand, and ran away with the wooden basin quickly. Shi Yunyang walked into the house and saw that the house was cleaned up as always. This is what Ran Tianluo must do after arriving in one place, tidying up the room. No matter where it is, as long as there is a place for her, it will always be neat and tidy.
Ran Tianluo was lying on the bed, and there was a slight smell of wine on the ground, but it had been covered by incense powder. Her face was flushed, she had just been drunk, and she wanted to feel unwell in her abdomen, and her brows were a little worried. Shi Yunyang pulled the quilt over and covered it for her. At this time, the maid was returning from fetching water, and she put it beside the bed, and bowed away.
Shi Yunyang wet the handkerchief and gently wiped away the little wine stains left on her lips. Carefully washed her face, wiped her hands, and then plucked off the hairpins and put them under the dresser. He was about to do it, but as soon as Ran Qianluo raised his hand, he lifted the quilt on his body, and Shi Yunyang had to put down the wooden basin and cover the quilt for her. But just after the cover was completed, Ran Tianluo suddenly opened it again.
After drinking, his body will feel very hot, and Shi Yunyang will lift the horns a little. But I couldn't leave. The night temperature in Chang'an is not too high. After the third watch, the night gradually turned cold, if she left at this time, she would definitely get cold if she stepped on the quilt again.
Shi Yunyang held her hand and stayed in front of her bed. As the night deepened, Shi Yunyang extinguished the candle on the table. It's just that by the faint light of the moon, I can look at Ran Tianluo's peaceful and quiet face. Shi Yunyang stretched out his hand and stroked her face, Ran Tianluo moved his body, hummed softly, but turned over and held Shi Yunyang's hand with both hands.
"Yun Yang Yun Yang Niang"
Ran Tingluo intermittently called out his name, and also called out her deceased mother. Shi Yunyang suddenly felt that Ran Tianluo was very pitiful, she no longer had relatives in this world, and she now regarded herself as her relatives and as what she had always relied on, not only because of the deep feelings between the two. is also because she wants to find a sustenance, a harbor where she can keep her soul from drifting. It's too lonely to be alone, Shi Yunyang knows that although she is very strong, she is already her last line of defense, and if she even shakes herself, she will give up. Then her heart might really break.
Shi Yunyang felt that his situation was really much better than her, at least he could still choose, think about how to deal with this matter, and still have a headache and anxiety about this matter, and she could only wait for her sentence like a death row prisoner. No matter what kind of decision she makes, she has no ability to object, she can only accept it, even if it is a dose of poison that is given to her, she has to swallow it with tears.
Shi Yunyang looked at Ran Qianluo's slightly red face, but his eyes were already red, and he leaned down, wanting to kiss her thin lips.
At this moment, a dart hit, Shi Yunyang was startled, and flicked his fingers, and the dart slammed past Ran Tianluo's eyelashes and nailed them to the bed rail. Shi Yunyang was about to make a sound, but another dart came over, the dart was extremely powerful, and it was obviously aimed at Ran Tianluo, Shi Yunyang immediately reached out to catch the dart. The dart was instantly driven into his flesh.
Shi Yunyang was in pain and was about to rush out the door to check, but Ran Tianluo seemed to notice his movements, grabbed his hand in a daze, and didn't let go of anything. Shi Yunyang had no choice but to sit back on the edge of the bed. Thankfully, no more darts hit.
This dart can even break through Shi Yunyang's physical defense, which means that this person's strength is at least above the late stage of the Xuan Realm. There are still such masters in Chang'an City. Shi Yunyang They have never had a grudge against anyone, and when they came to Chang'an this time, not many people knew about it. Ran Tianluo is a kind person, and he doesn't have any enemies, how could anyone come to assassinate him late at night.
Shi Yunyang couldn't figure it out, he spread out his palm, the dart was still nailed in his palm, Shi Yunyang bit the tail of the dart, took the dart out, spit it out in his hand, and looked at it carefully by the moonlight. I saw that the dart had been stained with blood, and the whole dart was shaped like a nail, and on the nail's nail, a small hibiscus pattern was faintly visible.
"Hibiscus, who could this be?" Shi Yunyang was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought that if he wasn't here tonight, Ran Tianluo would probably be, thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Damn, I didn't catch the assassin. Shi Yunyang thought, resentment in his heart, his palm was clenched, and a wave of pain came up, and Shi Yunyang reacted that he had been injured. Helplessly, Ran Tianluo was next to him, and he couldn't heal his injuries, so he had to pinch his palms and try not to let the blood flow out.
The night has passed. Before the dawn was completely broken outside the door, the morning bell had already sounded, Ran Tianluo opened her eyes, suddenly felt a little headache, her mind was blurry, and after a while, she remembered that she had drunk wine last night, she took out her hand and stroked her forehead. Suddenly, I found that there was a person lying next to my bed, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was Ran Tianluo.
Ran Tianluo smiled faintly, feeling very happy in his heart, and pulled his quilt over and covered Shi Yunyang's back. Shi Yunyang's body trembled, raised his head, and said, "You're awake, I'll go get you water later." He raised his hand. Suddenly, his hand was grabbed by Ran Tianluo.
"What's wrong with your hands?" Ran Tianluo suddenly saw a lot of blood on the ground, covering his lips with his hands, and his face was pale. "You've bled a lot, what's going on?"
Shi Yunyang smiled: "It's just broken, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, you can't bear to use your spiritual power, it's okay." ”
Before she could finish speaking, Ran Tianluo had already slowly given him his spiritual power. The wound in Shi Yunyang's palm slowly healed. Ran Tianluo said: "Don't lie to me, how can you be so strict when you rub it, not to mention, you have such a strong body defense, what kind of thing can scratch you." ”
Shi Yunyang smiled and said, "Okay, you're really getting more and more clever. Someone tried to turn it against you last night and threw two darts, one here and one behind you. Hearing this, Ran Qianluo turned his head to see that there was indeed a blood-red dart on the bed rail behind him. Ran Tianluo pulled it out, and then compared it with the one in Shi Yunyang's hand. The two darts are exactly the same.
Shi Yunyang said: "I really can't figure out who put this dart." We have no enemies in this Chang'an City. ”
Ran Tianluo suddenly thought of something, and she said, "Yun Yang, this matter is settled, you don't have to check, and don't ask." Just assume it didn't happen. ”
