Chapter 97: Assassination


Judging from the Bon ritual rules of Buddhism at night, the river lantern is just one of the small ceremonies, and it does not seem to be very important.

In the eyes of the common people, it is more important to put the lantern, and the legend says that all the wandering ghosts on this day hope to be able to cross the dark river to reincarnate in the lotus lanterns placed by their relatives, because the road to the yang world is very dark and needs to be illuminated by lights to find the direction.

The river lantern is also called "lotus lantern", which is generally placed on the base lamp or candle, and placed in the rivers, lakes and seas in the middle of the night, and let it drift to purify the water ghosts and other lonely ghosts in the water.

Yuzhu sat on the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out The river is brightly lit, swaying and swaying, like a little star in the sky, the light illuminates the river faintly, and the golden moon jumps on the water, but the people standing on the shore can't tell where the moonlight is and where the light is.

In ancient times, people were not as bright as modern cities at night, and people were accustomed to reveling until dawn, but usually went to bed early in order to save lamp oil, so I don't know how many people were stunned to see the water surface in front of them.

Yuzhu looked at it in a daze, and suddenly felt a sour heart From a distance, it looks very beautiful and dazzling, but up close it is different, not the kind of neat lampholder made of bright fabric, the river in front of me is full of melon skins, noodle bowls, paper, these simple and ugly bottoms, and occasionally floats past a large paper boat, the patchwork paper looks dirty and ugly, strange appearance.

Knowing that his own lady and wife want to put the river lantern, the little girl who has already bought it and held it in front of her, this kind of river lantern is specially for the rich and noble, small and delicate lotus type, each piece of lotus petals is finely cut with good powder lotus yarn, and then lined with very fine wire, the tip of the petals is evenly coated with silver powder, under the light of the red candle in the lotus heart position, it flashes with fine broken light, like crystal fragments, and is so beautiful that it is fascinating.

Yuzhu was about to walk to the river with the lamp, and in the early garden, he saw Xu Ruqing surrounded by maids not far away, and hurriedly pulled Yuzhu's sleeve, "Miss, over there, the fifth miss of the Xu family over there is also here." ” Yuzhu hurriedly stabilized his arm, such a delicate lamp, don't break it, "Why are you still frizzy."

After complaining, he raised his eyes and looked over there, "It's really Sister Ruqing."

Yuzhu was happy in his heart, so he grinded Cui's to go over, Cui's love the house and Wu, and he also liked the dignified and generous Ruqing, plus her lamp had been put out, and this place was specially circled for the official daughters to put the river lanterns, both sides were covered with curtains, and nothing happened to me, and Yele's daughter had company, so she agreed, and beat a few maids who stayed by Yuzhu's side, and she took Xu's mother and a few maids and daughters-in-law to get into the carriage first.

Xu Ruqing was squatting on the ground and watching the river lantern he had just put in the water drift away along the current, when he suddenly heard a chuckle: "Sister Ruqing." ” Hearing the sound and looking up, I saw a girl in a Chinese dress holding a lotus lantern is smiling and groaning towards her side, under the starry sky, she is full of light, her face is like a flower, swaying between the moonlight and the firelight, but the body is not enough, but it is a beautiful and unbelievable thing, such as a trance for a while, I thought this looks good before, but under the background of this candlelight and starlight, it is unprecedentedly good-looking.

"Sister Bamboo, what a coincidence."

Ruqing smiled and stood up to say hello.

The two of them saluted each other, and then looked at each other and smiled, "Sister Ruqing is here alone" Yuzhu looked left and right curiously, but he didn't see the Bai family.

"There are a lot of things at home, and my mother can't leave, so I asked me to come out on her behalf."

She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It seems that I am still moving fast, and the river lanterns I bought are all gone, so my sister should hurry up, and the lights will float steadily while the wind is right at this time." ” Yuzhu responded, squatted down gently, and put the beautiful lotus lamp in his hand into the river upright, the crickets hidden in the grass by the river were calling softly, the flowing river water was green, and the light hit the protruding stone to make a small sound of water, and soon the lotus lantern drifted away and merged into the boundless brightness.

Lin Yuzhu, I wish you a good family in your next life Ruqing held Yuzhu's hand, the two stood side by side and watched intently, and suddenly heard a commotion behind him, and the chaos was getting bigger and bigger, Yuzhu became nervous, all the women here, if they rushed in, it would be troublesome.

The young ladies around also noticed the abnormality, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes, and a few timid ones were already shuddling together in fright, and they were all about to cry.

In a few moments there was a scream from outside, a shrill scream with extreme fear, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Sister Bamboo."

Ruqing has also been raised in the boudoir since he was a child, and he has never even seen a chicken killed, where do he know how to deal with this kind of thing, he only grabbed Yuzhu's hand in a panic, and his body trembled slightly.

It's not the original girl, Yuzhu has beaten cockroaches and kicked hooligans in her previous life, but she is a little calmer at this time, she doesn't care about the high or low sobs of the women around her, grabbing Ruqing's shoulder and saying softly: "Sister Ruqing, where is your carriage?"

The wind chime held his young lady with one hand, and hurriedly pointed to the left front with the other: "There, it's very close, just stop outside."

Yuzhu frowned, pulled Ruqing and ran to the right.

"Miss Lin, why don't you let Miss go back to our carriage" Ruqing, an unknown big maid, asked in a shrill voice.

Yinlian's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Miss Bastard, just do it, do you have the qualifications to speak" Hua Zhen saw that Yinlian's tone was not good, and he was afraid that Miss Xu would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly explained: "The carriage of the Zunfu is parked close, that is, it is on the inside, and now the outside is very chaotic, and it is very likely that the carriage in the outer circle will be blocked inside, so it will be slaughtered."

And we arrived late, and the carriage was still parked on the periphery, and we could go as soon as we got into the carriage. ” The maid immediately blushed and lowered her head, not daring to say more.

Yuzhu didn't bother to get angry, only dragged Ruqing to avoid the chaotic crowd around him and ran forward, fortunately, the four big girls around him could still be of some use, helping to block the crowd in front, instead of screaming like Ruqing's several maids, like headless flies in a mess, Yuzhu ran hard, and said in his heart, he was so wise, the maids around him were so useful, and he must reward the four of them when he went back.

As soon as the curtain came out, Yuzhu knew that something was going on, the killer, it was actually a killer, although he didn't wear the iconic black clothes, but he could recognize it from a distance, once they acted, the body was completely different from the ordinary people, and it seemed that there were quite a few people after a quick glance, obviously the weather had not turned cold, but Yuzhu still felt the cool air rising up, and the people were all pale, and in order to escape for their lives, they couldn't even take care of the scruples of the past, and only drilled into crowded places, A thin man rushed into the convoy of officials and almost didn't hit Yuzhu and them, but fortunately, Zaoyuan quickly pushed him away, but the matter was not over, and Ruqing, who was frightened, let out a "ouch" and actually twisted his foot.

The carriage has been seen, Yuzhu is supporting half of Ruqing's body, hating the craftsman who built the river embankment for the first time, the river embankment is so far away from the river, the carriage can't get off, I don't know how many people will be unlucky because they can't climb the carriage this time.

Just as she wanted to make the strongest silver chain on her back, the mother-in-law sent by Cui's family fell from the sky, and Yuzhu never thought her fat body was so cute.

It is worthy of being the right-hand man of Cui's side, and without saying a word of nonsense, he picked up Ruqing and led Yuzhu and them to Cui's side in a large group.

Frightened to get into the carriage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, Cui Shi hurriedly held Yuzhu and looked up and down, for fear that she would hurt somewhere.

Yuzhu waved his hand and pointed at Ruqing, who was pale: "I'm fine, it's just that Sister Ruqing's foot is twisted." ” Cui Shi hurriedly lifted Ruqing's skirt to check, she also knew a little bit about medical science, pinched it and relieved herself, and comforted: "I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, just go back and apply medicine." ” Mother Liu has already arranged the maids, because she brought three carriages when she went out this time, one was sitting on Yuzhu and Cui's, and two were the maids and women who were waiting with her, which were almost full, and suddenly there were several more maids, and they were suddenly crowded a lot.

The old Cui Tou who was driving had already found a vacancy, and when he saw that everyone was in the car, he motioned for the two carriages behind him to follow, and then drove forward first.

"Phew" Suddenly, Yuzhu didn't check, and the door slammed on the wall of the car window, grinning in pain.

Cui Shi asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

There was no sound outside, the air in the carriage seemed to be frozen, Yuzhu's heart tightened, he wouldn't be so unlucky to be the fish in the pond, while involuntarily squeezing to Cui's side, Ruqing also struggled to sit up straight, and there were tears in his eyes.

"Squeak" The carriages were pushed away, and a jet-black head came in.

"Second Brother" Yuzhu screamed, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked back at Cui's, and sure enough, he also saw relaxation in his mother's eyes.

"Brother Ji, why are you here, what's going on" Seeing his son, Cui's was even more calm.

Lin Zongji wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned the sword in his hand again, and then moved it in, and returned: "Mother, my son is a long story short, the four princes left the palace in micro-suits, and their whereabouts were exposed.

With that, he turned slightly sideways and let a handsome young man come up.

I saw a few blood stains on his moon-white shirt, and there were many damages, but his expression was not flustered, and there was a faint evil aura between his delicate eyebrows.

"What about you," Cui said urgently.

Lin Zongji smiled, revealing a sharp tiger tooth, "It's okay, my son's martial arts are more than enough for self-preservation, besides, the brothers in our battalion are all outside." ” Cui Shi is not an ordinary woman, knowing that this is not the time to speak, she only seized the time to admonish: "Be careful in everything, don't underestimate the enemy." ” "Yes."

Lin Zongji glanced at Cui Shi deeply, squeezed his eyes at Yuzhu again, and jumped out of the car with a twisted head. gd1806102:
