As the imperial officers and soldiers got used to it, Chen Ke's musical instruments evolved.
Fold a rounded willow branch, cut off the head and leave a section at the end. Gently rub it with the strength of stroking a lover, and carefully pull out the stem, leaving a complete outer skin. Then dig out a few round holes on it regularly, like vertical ones.
It sounded like a flute, and the sonorous melody reverberated in the small courtyard and flew over the entire government office.
Even the officials working in the front yard could occasionally hear the faint sound of the flute, but they all thought it was the nobles living in the west yard who were having fun, and no one went into details.
Only a girl in the west courtyard was listening attentively. After the song ended, she picked up a slender pipe and wrote three words on Xue Tao's paper: "Liu Wai Lou".
On top of this word, there are six different words: 'Red Nacoat, Xiaobaimen, Take Off Clothes Shirt, Moonlight Courtyard, Visit Jinmen, Qingdong Garden'...
After linking the seven words together, the girl frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows and murmured to herself: "In the past three days, it has been Yangzhou slow, Xihe slow, Su Wu slow, Sheng Sheng slow, Shizhou slow...
Today I finally stopped being slow and changed it to these seven words." He nodded with certainty and said: "I bet there must be an ulterior secret in it."
Behind her stood a beautiful maid, who covered her mouth with a smile and said, "My master always likes to think wildly."
"You don't believe me, I do." The girl didn't look at her, rested her hands on her shoulders, and looked out the flower window. Her voice was refreshing, elegant, not coquettish, not domineering, nor was she soft and weak like a Jiangnan woman. It was very pleasant to listen to.
Shu Xin: "I think, maybe there is a story of bitter love hidden behind this. A woman who was locked up at home by her parents used this willow flute to send messages to her husband..." He said with a serious tone.
Xue Tao wrote on the note: "In the past three days, 'slow, slow, slow' means that the time is not right yet, don't meet rashly. Today, it seems that I finally got the chance. Look, Yuezhaoting, Qingdong Garden
, Liu Wai Lou... Isn’t this exactly what it means to have an appointment at dusk, with the moon above the willow branches?"
"If we follow what the master said," the maid chuckled, "then what about 'taking off the shirt'?"
The girl's fever reached her neck, and she stretched out her hand to tickle the maid: "How dare you tease this princess!"
"My maid doesn't dare, my maid doesn't dare anymore..." The two of them laughed together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The east courtyard where Chen Ke was under house arrest was also lively today. Because early this morning, Yu Wenshuai led his team out of Shaoguan, leaving only a small number of forbidden troops to look after the house and watch him.
As soon as the serious Yu Wenshuai left, the imperial officers and soldiers guarding him naturally lost their fear and stopped Chen Ke from playing the willow flute. They laughed and scolded: "You only have such a small amount of time to relax in a day, and you still only play the flute?!"
Chen Ke stopped talking, lowered his hand and said, "What do you want to do for fun?"
"Look at how big you are." The soldiers laughed and said, "Let's have sumo wrestling. That's what men do."
"Okay." Chen Ke did not refuse this time, and said with a squinted smile: "I wonder how you want to play, with colors or without colors?"
"What do you mean by bringing colors?"
"It depends on how much you can afford." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"It's a joke, we are not poor men and women." The soldiers said hoarsely: "You can pay as much as you want. With so many brothers, we will definitely be indispensable for your good fortune."
"A few days ago, there was chaos in the war. I found such a large piece of nugget gold and kept it in the landlord's house." Chen Ke jumped down from the tree and gestured with his fist: "I'll give you a price of ten guan, what do you think?"
"Okay!" The soldiers immediately thought of him as Yang Hu, and they started arguing over who should play. In the end, Chen Ke had to nominate one...of course, he picked the shortest one.
"you sure?"
"Sure."
"Boy, you've lost your sight." The soldiers gloated and laughed, "Xiao Guansuo is the number one sumo wrestler in the Japanese army!"
"..." Chen Ke shrugged and said nothing. He took off his belt and threw away his robe, leaving his upper body bare and only wearing shorts. Then he tightened his belt again and walked off the field.
Originally, he was wearing a loose Confucian shirt and could not tell. Now that he appeared, all the soldiers were wide-eyed. No wonder the boy is so crazy. He has the capital to be crazy... Viewed from behind, his shoulders are particularly wide, and his waist is very wide.
The belt makes her look particularly thin, and her long legs exposed under her shorts have strong muscles.
This is the so-called "tiger-armed wasp-waisted mantis leg", which was the recruitment standard for the four armies of the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty.
It is said that these three rules were set by Taizu himself. Such people have the best physical fitness. First, they are good at walking and can walk more than 160 miles a day; second, they are good at jumping. They can leap up a two-foot-high wall with both hands.
If you climb, you can get over by turning over; secondly, if you are good at fighting, if there are equal opportunities, someone else will definitely die.
The 'Xiao Guansuo' didn't dare to be careless when he saw this. He also had a naked upper body and shorts that exposed his legs. He tied a black headscarf and wore boots when he left the field. The others left the field.
If Cuju is the national sport of the Song Dynasty and sumo wrestling is the national sport of the Song Dynasty, there is naturally a strict set of rules. Even for private wrestling in the military, there are special referees who draw circles and state the rules clearly, such as: 'No
After plotting against each other, they were not allowed to hit vital parts, and they were told to stop immediately. Then they were released, shouting "Look at the fight!" and letting them fight to their heart's content.
It was too late to say that, but at that time, the two of them were together. Xiaoguan Suo relied on his speed and scurried around Chen Ke like a butterfly flying through flowers. Chen Ke stayed close to the door and dealt with it carefully. In the blink of an eye, he passed through, jumped, and grabbed
, explore, twist, push, hold, and after a few virtual attempts, Xiao Guansuo was finally grabbed by Chen Ke's arm and pulled into his arms.
Unexpectedly, he fell into his trap and rushed under his left rib, reached out with his left hand to hug his thigh, put his shoulder blade against his abdomen, and tried hard to lift him up.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ke seemed to have roots under his feet, and he picked up Xiao Guan Suo with his backhand. When he was about to hug him, Xiao Guan Suo was tightly wrapped around his body, and they both fell to the ground.
For a moment, Xiao Guansuo felt that Chen Ke suddenly lost his strength. Without thinking, he suddenly twisted his body, pressed him tightly under him, and strangled his neck tightly.
"Stop!" the referee shouted.
Although the winner was determined when the falcon came down, Chen Ke still made Xiao Guansuo break into a cold sweat. He stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Chen Ke up and said, "Why did you suddenly lose your strength?"
"I used too much force and escaped." Chen Ke said with a bitter smile.
"Oh." Xiao Guansuo nodded and said, "Practice more, your airs are really good for sumo wrestling."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it got dark, Xiao Guansuo went out to have fun with several Pao Ze who were also off work.
After Wen Shuai arrived in Hengyang, he drove all the defeated troops of Guangdong and Guangxi out of the city and stationed them outside the city, lifted the curfew, and reopened restaurants and brothels. While he was not in the city, the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards naturally had to have fun.
Let one person go to take a seat first, and Xiaoguan Sola and the others will accompany him to get the nugget gold. It's not that he's afraid of anything, he just wants someone to talk to him on the way to relieve his boredom.
According to the address given by Chen Ke, several people found the house and knocked on the door for a long time before someone came to open it. Good guy, he was a big man with his head reaching to the door beam and a face darker than the sky.
"Uh..." Xiao Guan Suo just reached the other person's armpit and said breathlessly: "Brother, can Chen Sanlang live here?"
How did Wulang feel about being called "big brother" by a man in his thirties? He stared at the four men in red military robes with a pair of bull's eyes.
Among the Forbidden Army, Pengri, Tianwu, Huyi, etc. wear crimson trousers as military uniforms on a daily basis.
"What are you doing?" Wulang asked in an angry voice.
"Let's get something for him. Here is the key he gave us." Xiao Guansuo shook the brass key in his hand.
"Come in." Wulang stepped aside.
The four military men filed in. Wulang closed the door, pointed to the west wing and said: "That room."
Xiao Guansuo opened the door with the key and went in, while the other three people were waiting outside. There was no movement after he went in for a long time, and there was no response when he called, so he asked another person to go in and take a look.
Unexpectedly, the man did not move. The remaining two people immediately became nervous and reached out to touch the weapons at their waists. However, they were bullied by Wu Lang, who was behind him. He grabbed his head with one hand and put his hands together hard, and was knocked unconscious by head-to-head collision. past.
At this time, Xuanyu came from the west wing, clasped his hands together, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Amitabha, it's my fault..."
"Recite the Buddha's name when you have time." Song Duanping came in from the outside and said in a deep voice: "I heard them say that there are companions who are booking tables in the restaurant, so we don't have much time left."
The two nodded, then dragged the other two in, stripped off their coats, gagged them, tied them up, and then put on their robes. Although he gave the largest size to Wulang, he still put on the loose trousers. Wearing tights.
The three of them walked to the street. It was already dark outside and they couldn't see their faces clearly. It was a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Wen Shuai was not there, and the people standing guard in front of the government office had been replaced by Xiang troops from the Forbidden Army. When they saw a few guys in Forbidden Army uniforms coming in, they didn't even dare to ask, and just let them in.
The three of them swaggered past the two gates and stopped in front of the corridor leading to the East Garden. The front was guarded by the Forbidden Army. If they met each other, their secrets would definitely be exposed.
He retreated from the corridor and turned to a deserted corner. He looked at the bare courtyard wall that was more than one foot high. Wulang sighed depressedly and stood firmly on the wall. Xuanyu held his shoulders and jumped lightly. Then she jumped onto his shoulder, stood firm, and nodded to Song Duanping. The latter then took two steps back, exhaled the breath in his chest, and jumped towards the wall. When he jumped to the highest point, Xuanyu gave him another lift. Send him to the wall.
Song Duanping pulled Xuanyu up the wall again. Only Wulang was pitifully below and could not come up.
"Waiting here to meet you." Song Duanping gestured irresponsibly and arranged this glorious mission for him. Tonight is the 15th, the moon is full and bright, and I happened to have a bird's-eye view of the whole garden through the moonlight, and I found the willow outside. building.
It was quiet in the yard. The remaining imperial troops were mainly concentrated in the small building on the east side, which was where Yu Jing stayed. As for this 'Liu Wai Building', there were only two soldiers standing guard, sitting on one side on the stone in front of the door. Enjoy the cool air and talk.
Without much effort, the two men knocked out the two guards who had neglected their duties, found the key from one of them, opened the door, and released Chen Ke, who had been waiting for a long time.
