The Golden Hairpin

Someone else said, "But I think there is still a place for King Kui in the imperial court. I heard..." At this point, he mysteriously lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows, obviously excited that he had the latest news. , "The court wants King Kui to suppress the Zhenwu Army!"

"Impossible? Something happened to Zhenwu Army?"

"I’m not sure, after all, didn’t the Zhenwu Army still say that the Zhenwu Army was vigorously expanding its armaments?

"Good guy, that Pang Xun originally came from a chaotic army, and now he is going to revitalize the military army. It's not a chaotic army, a chaos?"

Everyone laughed. Huang Zixia heard them say that the bull's head is not right, and it is all about chasing shadows, so she took the horse and prepared to leave. Who knew that there was a rumbling sound that attracted everyone's attention, and everyone rushed over there.

Huang Zixia looked in the direction where the crowds were crowded, but it was the middle-aged man who often used to tell stories in Zhujinlou. As expected, the storyteller would go wherever there was excitement, and this time he set a snare drum and squeezed into the street. coming.

After all, it’s a professional joke. When the drumstick is swiped, the mouth is different. Let’s talk about the twenty-four heroes of Emperor Taizong’s Lingyan Pavilion, but he was cast aside: “Can you tell me something nice? !"

Amidst the tacit laughter of the people, the storyteller had no choice but to say: "Then, let me tell you an absurd thing about Emperor Yang of the previous Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen was seriously ill in his twilight years, and Emperor Yang entered the hospital. I happened to see Mrs. Xuanhua who was holding the medicinal soup. She only glanced at her, and she suddenly lost her soul, wondering how there is such a beauty in the world..."

"Then Emperor Wen died, and Emperor Yang sent a concentric knot to Mrs. Xuanhua, and received the first concubine Ye Ye Sheng song lewdness and innocence-after hearing it hundreds of times, you can get a new one!"

Amidst the laughter of everyone, Huang Zixia's face suddenly changed color.

In her mind, the few silk threads that were picked up from the incense burner of the Royal Mansion of E were quickly flashed, and the remaining appearance was clearly a concentric knot that was burned torn.

Concentric knot, dagger, jade bracelet. It turns out... these are three things that seem to be irrelevant, and they have a common meaning inside!

For a moment, she felt terrified, the world in front of her was blurred, everyone retreated, and there was only a faint trace of the street in front of her. The colorful shed covers the sky, and the street is extremely bright under the sunlight, like a pale red blood covering the sky.

Her face was pale, she involuntarily clenched the rein in her hand, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she stood motionless in the corner of the wall. For a long time, for a long time, she felt that she heard heavy breathing, the goose bumps all over her body were erected, and she could not help but looked to the left and right with fear and alert, but found that everyone around her was just walking by indifferently, the heavy and rapid breathing , It is her own.

In this life, she has experienced countless cases, various brutal and terrifying methods, countless. However, this was the first time she stood in the crowd with cold sweat, and she felt that her mind was blank in an instant.

The terrible truth made her ears hum and her face was so ugly that even passersby looked sideways.

She leaned against the corner, and at the most lively moment in Chang'an, among the crowd expecting Buddha bones auspiciousness, she almost felt that she had lost her stiffness and coldness.

I don’t know how long it took, and her sane gradually became sober. The storyteller next to her had changed a story about Kui Wang’s resistance to Shatuo’s instigation. However, he tried so hard, but the audience did not buy it. They all said: "Ki Kui is now You have committed such things, you can talk about it in another person!"

Huang Zixian pressed her temples hard, leaning against the wall, and had no spare energy to leave.

"Everyone, I'm talking about this paragraph today, for a reason!" The storyteller stood under the color shed, his face flushed red, with a sense of excitement, "This Shatuo has committed the crime, not once or twice. , Can you all know the news of the Zhenwu army the day before? They were defeated for more than fifty miles, and even the big camp was given away!"

In the uproar, the audience said in frustration: "What about the defeat? Now that Datang's national fortune is weak, there is more than one defeat at the border? It is not the weather of the past."

The storyteller said sternly: "At the beginning, Sha Tuo was defeated by King Kui, so they were frightened by King Kui, and since then they did not dare to act rashly. But now that King Kui is in trouble, seeing that his life cannot be guaranteed, Sha Tuo took the opportunity to commit the crime again! This is deceiving me and no one in the Tang Dynasty! The behavior of such a villain who took advantage of the fire is really hateful!"

The listeners were immediately excited, and some others said: "It is tolerable or unbearable! King Kui should lead my Datang soldiers to go straight to Northern Xinjiang and give them some color! Let the clowns look at me Datang Awesome!"

"Yes, that's right, give them some color and see!"

When it comes to the invasion of foreign enemies, the people are immediately instigated. At this moment, King Kui’s killing of King E has long been thrown out of the sky. Everyone only imagined how King Kui would defeat Shatuo for a while after he went to the battlefield, and even took the court to drive them away. To the Great Desert, there is no more power to make a comeback...

"Furthermore, I would like to teach you all about this case of King Kui killing King E. Don't you think it's weird and weird? The hidden mystery in this case, I'll talk to you about it carefully—"

The more sensational speculation behind, the gods and strangers, caused an uproar in the crowd. Huang Zixia continued to lead the horse forward slowly in a daze, thinking that the Wang family's actions were indeed fast enough. Just the day before yesterday, he said that he would change public opinion, and it had already begun.

She looked up and saw that Xiuzhengfang was already in front of her, so she tied her horse to the willow tree nearby, and asked the horse watcher to add some fodder, and then went to the pavilion of Zongzheng Temple.

After reaching the door, she stood quietly in the corner outside the alley, a locust tree blocking her figure.

The sun rose higher and higher, and she stood behind the tree, only feeling that her hands and feet were getting colder and colder.

In her heart, the concentric knot, the dagger, and the broken white jade bracelet were hovering all the time.

If anyone sees her at this time, she will find her lips trembling and her face full of fear.

Even though she had understood all the ins and outs, she still felt scared. Fear of this decimated human nature, fear of the unknown, fear that he will not be able to reveal all the truth with his own hands, and give Li Shubai a clean name.

She tried her best to control herself, and stood there, biting her lower lip, waiting quietly.

Until about the hour, a neatly lined up Yulin Army arrived, and the leader of the team was Wang Yun.

"The Holy Master's letter, King Xuankui enters the palace to meet him."

The guard didn't dare to neglect, and after checking the manuscript, he quickly put Wang Yun in and asked Kui to come out. Huang Zixian stood motionless behind the locust tree, blocking herself with the curved trunk, only half of his face was exposed, and she waited quietly.

In a moment, Li Shubai came out with Wang Yun. He looked slightly Xiao Su, and his stone cyan brocade robe was even more gloomy. At this moment, he was summoned by the emperor, his face was still calm and joyless, and he didn't see any strangeness when he was flying on horseback.

She saw his profile, the curve that was exactly the same as she remembered, and it was as perfect as mountains and rivers. She didn't dare to blink, but stared at him blankly, watching every movement of him almost dreamily, remembering almost every breath he took, and imprinting every tremor of his hair firmly on her heart.

She didn't say a word, bit her lower lip silently, and watched him urge the horse forward.

However, in the silence, he seemed to feel something, suddenly turned his head and looked at the place where Huang Zixia was.

His eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to penetrate the tree trunk and pull her body in front of him.

Huang Zixian curled up subconsciously and hid behind the big locust tree. Fortunately, he only paused for a while, then retracted his gaze and urged the horse to move forward.

It wasn't until he was far away that Huang Zixia slowly breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back on the locust tree. She turned her back to Li Shubai and the people behind her, thinking about the truth that might rot in her heart forever. She stood there for a long time, and finally just closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief and bitterness.

"The prince is really like a god, and sure enough, the change is today." She said to herself, but she couldn't say it anymore, "However..."

However, because of this, the more she owed the Wang family.

She left Li Shubai's side in the wind and snow, thinking that she could use Wang Yun to inquire about the connection between the Wang family and the matter, and then trace the situation behind the scenes. But who knows that step by step, she did not expect that she would receive so much favor from the Wang family, nor did she expect that the situation would develop to the current situation, when she gave up her final retreat.

It was Wang Yun, and even the Wang family, who helped her step by step, making her see the truth of the case step by step. King Kui left Zongzheng Temple, and the case has turned for a better time. How can she abandon the promise she made? Abandon the Wang Family?

She knew that as long as this opportunity was used, Li Shubai would be able to escape all the cages.

Forget about the world, perhaps this is their best ending.

But now, the only choice she can choose is to disappear into his life after knowing that he is safe and never see each other again.

Because even if they met for the last time, she didn't know how to say goodbye, how to say never see again.
