Chapter 284 Shadow

It's late at night.

The rosefinch sat on the roof, holding an empty wine jug with his right hand on his lap. There was a shallow layer of water at the corners of her mouth trickling down, dripping down her beautiful curved chin directly to the big black cloak.

Her eyes were like gems. She looked up at the dark sky and was silent.

Just under this roof, the man she loved so much galloped wildly on another woman.

Yes, crazy, unprecedented madness.

The crazy screams of women can almost overturn the roof.

"What's wrong with him today?" The rosefinch said to herself faintly, and her eyes showed sadness and confusion that she couldn't understand.

It is unacceptable for any woman to witness the relationship between a beloved man and other women. But the rosefinch must accept it, and she seems to be used to it.

She used to be Princess Xiao, but now she is a nobleman. In the future, there will be more.

The rosefinch doesn't understand whether he has really looked down on such a thing. It seems that as long as he can appear in his sight, then everything is calm.

She raised the wine pot, and the last drop of wine in the pot slowly fell into her mouth.

The afterglow of her eyes inadvertently glanced at a flashing shadow, and suddenly a sharp light flashed in her eyes!

"There are assassins!!"

She flew down from the roof like a phantom, and the long whip made a hand, and the three "dangdang" sounded in the air!

Three hidden weapons fell out of Chu Tianya's window, and the sound was harsh.

The assassin is extremely agile. Almost at the same time as the rosefinch took action, the assassin was already fleeing.

The rosefinch did not chase. It stood at the window of Chu Tianya like a demon god, quietly watching the direction of the assassin's escape.

Assassin, there is only one person.

"Three."

The rosefinch is counting down.

"Two."

"One..."

There was no sound. Outside the wall of the Luoyang Royal Palace, there was a muffled hum, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Chu Tianya pushed open the window, casually wearing a piece of fur, and his hair spread out.

"What's the matter?"

"Lord, everything is fine."

The white figure of the nobleman pressed on Chu Tianya's body. **'s pair of children's jade arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him back. "Lord, don't worry about this. Let's come again..."

The window fell, and the rosefinch looked ahead without squint.

Xuanwu and the sky, like two night ghosts, quietly appeared in front of the rosefinch, "The assassin has taken it!"

"Why don't you keep it alive?" The rosefinch's voice was very gloomy and cold, "Do you know who the opponent is?"

"He committed suicide." Xuanwu frowned tightly and showed the sword in his hand to the rosefinch. "I blocked him with the sky, and he drew his sword without hesitation. My sword has not been stained with blood.

The sky replied, "The identity of the assassin is unknown for the time being. The old man has sent someone to take the body away and deal with it."

The rosefinch nodded, "From now on, double the sentry and strengthen the guard."

"Yes!"

......

Half an hour later.

Half of the nobleman's body is exposed outside the quilt, covered with a layer of sweat, and the soft back reflects the candle, reflecting the blurred light charm; the wet hair is set between Chu Tianya's strong bronze chest and abdomen, a trace of coolness.

She was out of breath, "Lord, you hurt me today."

Chu Tianya smiled evilly, reached out and picked up her chin and kissed her, like a bite and kiss.

The nobleman closed his eyes with great pleasure, held his face in both hands, and kissed him eagerly.

"Does it really hurt?"

"It hurts - but I like it!" The red tide on the nobleman's beautiful and wild face has not yet receded, and he is so charming that he can't come back and said angrly, "Lord, you are a man among men! You are more lethal than the wild wolf, but you are more gentle and gentle than Chunshui! I like being conquered by you, like being loved by you**, and like the feeling of melting in your arms. I think that all women in the world will like a majestic and gentle man like the Lord!"

"It seems that there has been an assassin just now?"

"Lord, I still want it!!!"

......

It was almost dawn, and Chu Tianya just closed his eyes and went to sleep. The nobleman is like a tired little wild cat, curled up in Chu Tianya's arms and fell asleep, and made a low snoring sound.

The rosefinch is still standing outside the window of Chu Tianya as before, as if it had never moved an inch.

He Bo came slowly on crutches and stopped in front of the rosefinch.

"Go and have a rest."

"Yes."

The rosefinch answered and left without looking back.

He Bo looked at her back and sighed gently.

Overnight, the Hu Ben Suwei of Luoyang Palace tripled; Uncle He, the head of Qingwei, who had been indifferent to business for a long time, came out of the mountain again and personally served as the guard of Chu Tianya.

Soon after, Xiao Linglong and her own sister Xiao Ta came out of the room side by side, talking and laughing happily. After many years, the two sisters can still sleep like childhood, and they are obviously in a good mood.

However, when Xiao Linglong saw He Bo standing outside the window of Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong's face changed.

She is also Qingwei. Of course, she knows what it means for He Bo to be in such a place at such a time.

Leaving the Xiao Tower behind, Xiao Linglong walked to Uncle He and whispered, "Sir, what happened last night?"

He Bo glanced at Xiao Ta, who was not far away, and did not say anything. He let go of his hand in front of Xiao Linglong.

Three bright conical hidden weapons, pointed black, obviously highly poisonous.

"Can you find out the identity of the assassin?" Xiao Linglong's face suddenly became extremely cold.

He Bo shook his head and quietly put away the dark weapon.

Xiao Linglong fell into silence and thought. Suddenly, she looked back at her own sister.

Xiaota was standing there waiting quietly, inexplicably feeling cold all over and looking at Xiao Linglong in surprise.

Her own sister actually had a killing in her eyes.

"It's not her." Uncle He whispered.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Xiao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"There are too many people who want the young master to die now." He Bo said in his old voice, "The State of Jin, the Song Dynasty, and even Xixia, Luoyang, and even among us, there are many people who want the life of the young master."

Xiao Linglong nodded gently, "At present, the situation is chaotic and tense, and the defense cannot be relaxed for a day. Old man, it's time for Qingwei to expand his manpower.

He Bo grinned and showed his two mouthfuls of yellow teeth, smiling, as cunning as an old fox as ever.

"The old man laughed so strangely." Xiao Linglong looked at Uncle He with understanding, and stared at him with a little shame and helplessness, "You don't have to worry about it, do you?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Uncle He smiled twice again, "After all, this matter still needs to be approved by the princess."

"Did you really do this?" Xiao Linglong suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Master, you are too bad!" Too bad! I hate you so much!"

"Hey hey!" Uncle He smiled more and more treacherously and treacherously, "Your Highness, please calm down your anger. May I ask, who is not a man with a little savings in the world? Officials and nobles, who is not surrounded by beauty? What's more, the young master is already a great minister, holding the ox ears of the world? How can there be less women around him - it's better for him to send some women who are good and absolutely loyal to serve the young master than to let him go out and make trouble?"

"Yes, it's all your reason, hey! ..." Xiao Linglong sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I have known this for a long time. As early as the beginning, when your old man was training our first batch of Qingwei at Qixingzhai Tianshufeng, you deliberately left a hand. Among the expelled people, you have quietly left a group of people, all of strange women with good skills and martial arts, and hid them. At that time, everyone thought that they were dead or far away. But I have been guessing that with the old man's doting love for Tianya, how can you let such a woman leave easily? - Sure enough, you have been secretly raising them. That is, when Tianya needs more women and more personal guards one day, and then hand them over, right?

"Hey hey!" Uncle He laughed evilly, "After all, this matter can't be hidden from the princess. In fact, I'm not going to hide it from you.

"That's it." Xiao Linglong smiled bitterly and said, "If you really want to hide it from me, I definitely can't notice it."

"There are more." He Bo's tone suddenly became serious and said seriously, "The main duty of this group of women is to protect you, the future sons and daughters, and all the concubines and family of the young master in the future. That is to say, they will be closer to the young master than the Qingwei - so they can only be women.

"It can also be a eunuch, can't it?" Xiao Linglong curled her lips, a little annoyed and a little helpless.

"Eunuchs can't do it." He shook his head, "First of all, those martial arts masters will not be willing to become eunuchs; secondly, the old men have no time to train among a group of little eunuchs to turn them into top and loyal masters and act as the guards of young masters - so they can only be women! And most of the time, it is much more convenient and sharper for women to do things than men. For example, blowing the pillow wind in the ears of the official family in the Song Dynasty, and so on.

Xiao Linglong's expression changed slightly, "Did you also send them out?"

"Not yet, but I believe it will be soon. When will this execution of the young master enter the government? He Bo said lightly, "I have carefully selected and strictly trained for so long. Of course, it's not just to make the young master have more loyal guards or happy women. They can also be the best masterpieces or assassins. Isn't it?"

Xiao Linglong looked at Uncle He in a staringly and was speechless for a moment.

Uncle He still smiled and said, "Would you like to accept them?"

Xiao Linglong took a deep breath and subconsciously touched her unwelling stomach, "Well, I have no reason to refuse!"

"That's good." Uncle He still smiled and said, "Only with the young master's permission, they can officially appear in this royal palace."

"Officially?" Xiao Linglong frowned, "You mean, they have ever appeared?"

"Actually, they have always been in the royal palace." Uncle He smiled.

"I know!" Xiao Linglong suddenly realized, "At the beginning, the old man said that he would choose a group of maids from Luoyang Palace to serve me - those women are among them?"

"That's right!" He Bo smiled and said, "Like the number of Qingwei, twelve have long been around the princess to protect you day and night!"

Xiao Linglong was stunned and speechless - "I didn't even notice it?"

"That's because you trust the old man too much." Uncle He smiled and said, "The only one who knows this matter is the rosefinch except the old man. More than half of these women were led and trained by her.

What a smart person Xiao Linglong is. She can hear all of Uncle He's voice at this moment.

"I know what to do..." Xiao Linglong breathed a soft sigh, "The rosefinch has paid enough for the world. On the day when Tianya made me a concubine, I won't treat the rosefinch badly.

"You are wrong." He Bo said, "The rosefinch has never expected anything from the young master, including the name. She just wants to guard the young master quietly and be satisfied without being driven away. In other words... she just wants to make a shadow silently and quietly.

"My shadow?"

Uncle He nodded gently, "Although she cut her face, she still can't get rid of this fate and pass the level in her heart... There will be many women in the future; but you are the only one in his heart after all. Rosefinch obviously doesn't want to be one of the 'many women'. In fact, if she wanted to, she would have done it long ago, at least there was no reason to let the nobles take the lead. She just wants to be unique, even if... to be a shadow!"
