The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

Duguli and Duguying knelt outside the door, and after hearing the oppressive silence in the room, a series of noises suddenly broke out, and they didn't know what was smashed.

Dugu looked sideways at her sister, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Song...is it true that he will never come back again?"

Dugu Ying lowered her head and did not move, after a while, her lips parted slightly: "What do you think?"

Dugu Li was stunned, his eyes were red, his mouth was flattened, and he was about to cry.Suddenly there was another loud bang in the room, which made him tremble all over, and tears were forced back from his eyes.Twitching his nose twice, he thought sadly, how could Brother Song lie to himself with his sister.After thinking about it again, I have never seen my father so angry. It would be better if Brother Song didn't come back.But if he doesn't come back, the person who beat his ass into eight petals is probably himself...

Just as he was struggling, he saw his father stepping out of the room with his face as dark as Lei Gong in a picture.

"I'm going to the palace to see His Majesty now. As for the two of you..." The weather was still cold in early March, and it was impossible for the two young ones to continue kneeling outside.Dugu Mian was about to ask someone to send them to the old Lord Hou, facing the wall to reflect on himself, Mouping rushed in: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is coming down. I will go back to the mansion to report the news, and Your Majesty will be here soon!"

Dugu Mian paused, turned around and walked into the house.After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to Mu Ping, "Report to the old Hou Ye, and trouble him to pick him up at the main courtyard. Also, tie up these two ignorant bastards and wait for His Majesty to deal with you."

Dugu Ying finally realized that something was wrong, raised her head: "Daddy!"

Dugu Mian looked at his smart and beautiful daughter and sighed.The emperor came so fast, I'm afraid there will be thunderous anger in an instant, and I don't know if the Dugu family can bear it.Let go of the resentment, sadness, and bitterness of a moment ago, and try to calm down the emperor's emotions first.

Said to her daughter: "Ying'er, you are old, you have always been sensible, knowledgeable and polite. However, what happened to Song Wei may not be what you see or what you think. It may not be what he said. When you should know , I will know the reason. I never expected you to be so bold and reckless, I am afraid that Daddy will not protect you today. If His Majesty wants to personally interrogate, you... and tell the truth..."

It's no wonder that the children misunderstood it like this, it's because the father has a lot of criminal records, and Song Wei took advantage of the situation to guide him, and he took advantage of it logically.

Dugu later thought of the mutton fat jade fragments in the room, no matter what, cleaning it up before the emperor's arrival was the top priority.

"Ying'er, what Daddy can take on, he will take on with all his might. Say whatever you think at first. Your majesty is wise and has his own verdict. But in the future, you...don't be so confused anymore." Holding the rope, the guard who approached hesitantly said, "Tie it tighter. Just treat them as criminals, there is no need to show mercy."

When did Dugulai see this posture before, he let out a "wow", and finally burst into tears.Although Duguying still doesn't understand what's going on inside, she also knows that things are definitely not what she thought.Feeling terrified and restless, her pretty face turned pale.

Dugu left his children behind and went into the house to tidy up.

The mutton fat jade crumbs that were broken all over the floor were randomly swept under the bed, the ivory pendant was hung around his neck, and stuffed into his collar, and only the white silk with two pictures, one large and one small, were left outside.

Holding the crumpled white silk in the palm of his hand, he sat on the side of the bed blankly.The monstrous anger burst into the air as the jade shattered, and the surging self-blame and guilt were also cooled by Bai Ling's cool and slippery touch.The rest of my heart is full of desolation.

Song Wei.Song Xiaoyin.

How ruthless and tolerant is he?How ruthless and indifferent is it?Only then can he keep his composure, let the insult go, plan silently, hit the target with one blow, and go away regardless.

He has done so much for him with all his heart, what is it in his heart?

After an unknown amount of time, human voices came from outside.Here comes the emperor.

After listening to Mu Ping's report, the emperor was startled and angry. He was already weak and weak, but now he was even more dizzy.He insisted on personally coming to Xianhou's mansion to inquire about the crime, Wei Guan had no choice but to bring the elite of the court guards, plus Zhen Baoying and some imperial doctors, to escort the emperor out of the palace.

The old Hou Ye Dugu Chen didn't know why the emperor was coming until Mou Ping sent a message for his son to pick him up, and his legs went limp on the spot.When the emperor entered the door, he saw the pustule-like appearance of the old brother, asked him three questions, and was so angry that he ignored him.Accompanied by several cronies, they went straight to the East Courtyard on their shoulders.As soon as he arrived at the corridor, he was startled by the distressed and miserable appearance of the Young Master of the Hou Mansion.

Older people often don't want to see children suffer.What's more, the third generation of the Dugu family has always been cute and cute in the emperor's impression. When they saw the two siblings kneeling at the door, they immediately stopped and asked why.

Dugu Lai was so sad that she couldn't help herself, sobbing intermittently.Duguying was weeping silently by the side, whenever his younger brother couldn't explain clearly, he would add a few words.She couldn't guess Song Wei's identity, but her father's intentions were not difficult to understand.Whether the emperor came in such a hurry was a blessing or a curse, which is hard to predict.Bitter tricks are simple and simple, and they are often easy to bear fruit.

The two siblings burst into tears and complained of grievances.Needless to say, everyone present understands it: the father is unscrupulous, he robs the men of the people, the sons and daughters act bravely, save people in distress, it is a bloody family ethics drama.

Amid the cries of the siblings, the emperor figured out the whole process of his son's escape.

Dazed for a while, he said to Duguchen: "Ziyu, loosen the ties, let the two children go to rest, and ask your people to take good care of them."

Dugu Ying and Dugu Li were taken away.

The emperor was escorted in by his servants, and Dugu Mian had already knelt in the middle of the room, kowtowing his head and pleading guilty: "This humble minister deserves to die, for failing to take good care of His Highness the Sixth Highness, I am ashamed to see Your Majesty!"

At the sight of him, the Emperor's anger was rekindled.

"You know you have no face to see me! You, you..." The dignified prince pretended to be a male pet and ran away, the emperor was so angry that he was so angry.For a while, he couldn't find a suitable word to scold Dugu Mian, so he raised his foot and kicked him.It's a pity that the emperor was ill in bed for a long time, this kick failed to kick Xianhou, but he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Mrs. Dugu suffered this, fearing that the emperor would lose his temper, so he hurriedly comforted him: "The guards have already launched a search inside and outside the capital. Your Majesty the Sixth Highness is auspicious and will return safely soon. Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty."

The emperor was furious, and said bitterly: "If you didn't bully Xiaoyin, why did he leave? He is out alone, living in a sparsely populated area, lonely and helpless, if... if something happens, your Xianhou's mansion will be destroyed by all three clans." Not enough compensation!"

Dugu Xian was much calmer than before, at this moment he felt that the emperor was really overcompensating.No more excuses and pleadings, just presented the two white silks in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is a message from His Highness the Sixth Highness. One is the message that the Sixth Highness used the little son to privately pass on to the little girl, and the other is for His Majesty... "

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already snatched away the two pieces of white silk.Just take a quick glance at the one written to Duguying, and read carefully from the beginning to the one written for myself.

The further you read, the worse the emperor's face.After reading the last two sentences, his face turned blue and white, his chest heaved and fluctuated, and he read slowly, word by word: "The king...every year...is safe and sound, and the prosperous age...every year...you have more than enough to celebrate."

Suddenly sneered: "Zhen... is his biological father, he is... so determined... that he doesn't recognize his own father..."

Drops of blood dripped onto the white silk, quickly soaking into a dazzling blush.The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.All the people around were shocked out of their wits.Dugu Mian hurriedly got up and helped to support the emperor, seeing the blood stains on the white silk, he broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden.My heart sinks involuntarily, I feel that everything seems to be cast a shadow, and I don't know how to grasp it.

When Song Wei woke up, it was already dark.After days of tension, I suddenly fell asleep so soundly, my body was tired and sore, and my mind was dull and dazed.He got out of bed slowly, and lit the oil lamp on the table with the light leaking from the next door.Lamp oil is a coarsely refined mixture of fats that emits a puff of smoke and a pungent smell when lit.Song Wei slapped the end of his nose with his hand, and looked intently, there was a light layer of oil on the bottom of the rough pottery dish, which wouldn't last long.

Ten copper coins a night for a single room, and free oil lamps, like the underground hotels of later generations with free cable TV.Song Wei was quite satisfied.He poured a bowl of cold water, took out a cloth bag from his underwear pocket, opened it on the table, and found a large pile of black and round pills.

There is another important reason why the guards of the Xianhou Mansion let down their vigilance: Song Wei's injuries have not fully healed.He always looked sick and limp, and he was so deeply rooted in people's hearts that these people subconsciously felt that he couldn't walk or run far.To achieve such an effect, five points depend on pretending, and the other five points depend on procrastination.Eat a small half of the pills and hide the other half, so it's not easy.Now out of Longtan and Tiger's Lair, Song Wei touched his chest, after a day of tossing, there was a dull pain inside.The body is the capital of the revolution, so stay here to heal your injuries thoroughly before we talk about it.

Send the pills down with cold boiled water, blow on the lamp, and open the door.After taking two steps, I suddenly remembered something and stopped.When taking another step, the left leg goes first, and the right leg drags weakly behind.He has always been good at imitating, coupled with deliberately strengthening psychological hints, limping, it looks like that.

Three teachings and nine streams gathered here, and people of all colors waited to return to their residence after a busy day, making a lot of noise.Some people in the courtyard drink and eat, gamble and fight.Someone in the room tuned the strings and sang, howling and springing.

Song Wei has disheveled hair, a tattered body, and a lame leg. The vulgar air of the market is fully displayed, mixed with it, and integrated into one.He glanced greedily at the gambling table, and resisted not going there.Now is not the time, besides, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, since they plan to live here for a long time, it will be troublesome if they win or lose.

He turned into the back yard to see the horses.

Hanging around outside, wearing rotten clothes but riding a good horse, is nothing.Song Wei saw just now that someone among the gambling gang in the yard bet an otter skin bucket.The big man drinking in the corner, the weapons on the table, the mouthpieces are inlaid with gold and silver, and they look very valuable.

The backyard was dirty and messy, and a few animals were tethered under the broken shed.The so-called transition from extravagance to frugality is difficult, since Deda was bought back by Weng Huan and then given to Song Wei as a gift, he has hardly suffered a single day of grievance.Clean stables, high-quality fodder, the owner takes care of him personally, and he is used to a comfortable life.The standard of living dropped sharply, and it was very uncomfortable to go back to the pre-liberation overnight.Before the guy came to feed the fodder, it lost its temper and refused to eat it.Of course the guy didn't wait, turned around and left.At this time, he was so hungry that he lowered his head and chewed, while flicking his tail unhappily.

Song touched it with a smile, bent down and grabbed the hay and brought it to its mouth.

"Hey, there are only two of us left. Well, that guy Ang, I don't know if he will miss us, he will lose sleep and starvation or something. Don't count on Xiao La and Xiao Diu. , I guess we can’t even remember what the two of us are like.” He patted his head and leaned over, “It’s not easy to depend on each other, so don’t show embarrassment to brothers..."

Deda disliked his bad taste, snorted and turned his head.He was wearing the same clothes before, but he was either riding on a horse or walking with a rein, and it was not so ignorantly put under people's noses.

Song Wei was startled and furious: "Hey——Hey—you fucking despise me! Believe it or not, I won't brush your hair for a month!" With cruel words in his mouth, the man consciously distanced himself and stretched out his hand to the horse. Under the belly, scratch gently.

Deda was so pleased with being scratched by him, he turned his head and winked unscrupulously.Song Wei sat down on the haystack with her head resting on the horse's belly.To be honest, Deda detested him, and he also detested the smell of livestock manure in this place, so he didn't plan to stay long at all.I don't feel it now, except for a few animals, there is no one, and it is rare to be quiet.

With a grass root in his mouth, he whispered to the horse.

"Okay, you can be prepared. I plan to change my image starting today. One month later, I will show people a new look. The ancients said, grow a beard... that Mingzhi, don't take a bath, that... tastes good, haha... ..." I was talking, happy.He giggled for a while, raised his arms, sniffed left and right, and moved his nose away with a bitter face.

"Hey, really, it smells bad. But it's really nothing. I remember living in a sky prison before. The conditions are far worse than here. It's good to remember bitterness and sweetness once in a while. This matter Well, I don’t even know, I’ll just tell you…”

Sitting in the middle of the night, wandering back to his room, fell asleep.The bedding had a mildewy smell, and after smelling it for a long time, it couldn't be smelled anymore.

Two days later, the emperor recovered, but the sixth prince's secret search mission made no progress.

The emperor summoned Marquis Xian into the palace, and said: "The matter of finding Xiaoyin, from now on, will be handed over to Wei Guan. Xiaoyin is not happy to see you, and even if you find him, you must hide and make trouble. Nothing will happen for a long time. , I think the government guards are quite slack, you go to the northern suburbs to stay for a few days, and go train for me."

Dugu was stunned for a while, and then returned to normal.There was not a single word: "My minister obeys the order."
