「你發夢麼?」285Please respect copyright.PENANAYzBIRRncP0
285Please respect copyright.PENANAE75Fiu9nR5
一個女子聲音問道。秦逍坐起身來,見昨夜那名黑衣女子正環胸盤坐地上。285Please respect copyright.PENANAT67KpekkL1
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJvte35t11w
「在下記得,昨夜確實將姑娘請上了客房榻。」他一面問一面按著額頭醒神。285Please respect copyright.PENANACygXbT94hb
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yw6HH3euW
「我也記得,我說過不睡賊人的榻。」儘管天生語聲嬌柔輕細,女子語調仍是冷冷淡淡的。285Please respect copyright.PENANAxXnXlLpMXK
285Please respect copyright.PENANADpqhXf0j1e
秦逍笑道:「在下還記得,在下並非姑娘口中賊人。」他素來溫文,和這女子雖曾為敵,卻仍不改客氣和善的毛病。285Please respect copyright.PENANAYj2GqSxeYB
285Please respect copyright.PENANAuAKVBbsO4l
「我更記得,你和霍顛狗賊彼此相交,既是他朋友,必然一丘之貉。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAuHeVXK9BgJ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAI068nxYd4b
秦逍見她神色失落間帶點疲憊,便知她想必一夜不曾入睡,當下翻身下榻,見著日頭都快上了三竿,想是昨一場夜鬥,早晨又在夢裡見了多年不見的紅樓,竟一睡到了這個時候。285Please respect copyright.PENANAaMFWBmyC9h
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxhof5pBKpD
「子迢。」285Please respect copyright.PENANACzFvhmWLYZ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAPJrWnlh2E7
一名俊秀少年無聲無息步入室內,少年一身勁裝,衣袂風塵僕僕,背後兩柄短刀插著,當下作揖道:「多年不見爺的面,子迢願爺一切都好。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAZWy9CgWZW2
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvryAODG1Xr
秦逍微笑,「把你從那麼遠的地方找回來,是有要事託你去辦。不過這事待會再談,先請常叔把這位姑娘的早膳送到我書房去,你就領她先過去罷。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAAu6byDrakc
285Please respect copyright.PENANAofNP4hzeQm
子迢應聲是,眼光卻注視著那名女子,秦逍知他戒備,又道:「她服下了軟筋散,十二個時辰內,不礙事。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAFPtgsgLuGB
285Please respect copyright.PENANATxZgzdubMJ
用過膳後,秦逍才到書房和那名黑衣女子相見。女子仍是穿著深夜暗殺霍顛的那套夜行裝,面上蒙的黑布也不曾取下,只是被俘當夜被迫服下了軟筋散,十二個時辰內都休想運用內力。她隨子迢前去用膳、去書房的路上,一面觀看秦逍的私人莊園,一面暗暗憤恨昨夜入莊時簡直連莊內布局都無法瞧清,否則她手腳不曾縛住,即便爬也要爬出莊子去。再想起昨夜戰敗,竟讓仇人饒了性命,當真屈辱已極。285Please respect copyright.PENANAUOq0LX7SJf
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvN7jbaXaQx
當時已過丑時,在蓬萊客棧中秦逍道:「姑娘是蒼霞山曉雅莊的弟子。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAum6eGb739S
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWvE5rGJzSm
「不是!」黑衣女子倏地回答。285Please respect copyright.PENANAgArxO1Hbc7
285Please respect copyright.PENANAKiYQHeZ1Iz
秦逍挑眉,眼中全是不信,還未說話,背後忽然一道房門緩緩推開,霍顛自裡頭走出,臉上、襟上滿是鮮血,手裡的長劍更像是插上了條血管子,血一路啪搭啪搭地滴。285Please respect copyright.PENANA9U3FQqTTng
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6haD6ca7xV
秦逍略有遲疑:「將軍將他們都殺了麼?」285Please respect copyright.PENANAoIa82IOxLa
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0xhyxS7Di
霍顛抹去臉上血痕,「不殺,難道放他們回去傳信麼?」285Please respect copyright.PENANA2jUZv8sF0h
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMOyxWQ9QAH
他這話原非真的在問秦逍,誰知秦逍卻答道:「如擔心他們洩密,割了他們舌頭就好。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAN9UmuRWTUN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ZFjOQ6Yq
霍顛側目瞧他,愣了半晌才察覺秦逍是說真的,卻仍不可置信。285Please respect copyright.PENANAAVRffPQfLK
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8xftVR3cJx
「如若他識字呢?」285Please respect copyright.PENANA1NdCJhqUKF
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxJG11RXmXa
秦逍緩緩道:「那就將手掌砍下來。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAP3TTl6uizO
285Please respect copyright.PENANAIx7KzveyAw
霍顛忍不住冷哼:「可笑。」一旁偷看的客棧當家以及小二、店伴,若還有沒嚇暈的,此時都不禁瞠目結舌,誰能想到這個看來溫文爾雅的翩翩公子,竟面不改色地說出這番話來。285Please respect copyright.PENANAr1BcHLmzrT
285Please respect copyright.PENANAHPakBTUdyZ
霍顛走向秦逍,那名黑衣女子眼見霍顛走出房門時,早已滿腔憤怒,直來到跟前,女子忍不住嘶聲道:「狗賊,拿命來!拿命來!」285Please respect copyright.PENANASzuZOzUWqX
285Please respect copyright.PENANAfpkAKBvyzi
霍顛居高臨下直視那黑衣女子,「世上要霍某性命之人,多如牛毛,只不知你又與霍某有何冤仇?」285Please respect copyright.PENANA9yfjVFQtP0
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0giqb4lIJn
「你殺我父兄,令我家破人亡,」黑衣女子含淚嘶聲道:「我早已發誓要取你的人頭祭我先父,豈知今日不僅戰敗,還賠上三位前輩性命。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1FLhBcQXw
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzvGWzsJNNP
霍顛垂目看著她,她又道:「我技不如人,就悉聽尊便,只是我要你知道,只要我還活著一天,天涯海角,我都會來取你的命!」285Please respect copyright.PENANAGwl4jnPuD8
285Please respect copyright.PENANATYyl390o9B
說完頭一撇,竟閉目待死。秦逍心中暗讚這女子有膽量,他手裡仍握著女子那把漆黑短刀,心中卻另有主意。285Please respect copyright.PENANAI04qxlB5XS
285Please respect copyright.PENANAslwiCWjD7Y
「霍某一輩子殺過不少人,從未有哪一條命讓霍某感到後悔。」深夜裡霍顛語聲冷得像是能逼出人的魂來:「素來向霍某挑戰之人,霍某不曾留情,只是今日你即便想死,恐怕也不能輕易如願。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAiPeZjKE356
285Please respect copyright.PENANAwFYCGdaDlo
黑衣女子陡然睜眼,還未反應過來,一旁的白衣男子已微笑接著道:「將軍竟能猜透在下心意,看樣子在下竟是今夜最技不如人的一個了,得回家練練。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAxVikyMI5Sl
285Please respect copyright.PENANAbywQkO1yGI
「在哪裡練都一樣,」霍顛已轉過身去,冷冷一笑:「只是以姑娘的性格,現在要她活著,恐怕比死還難受。至於舌頭割掉或手掌砍掉,你預備留給她哪一種活法,霍某不想管,我只管──」285Please respect copyright.PENANAnoRQKtRvgh
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFR6uJPlm9p
「將軍放心,」秦逍再度張開摺扇,「在下會安排好一切。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAZvkeS9Luxf
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qx7wbCEmN
霍顛冷哼,將劍細細擦拭了收入鞘裡,一轉身躍出窗去不見蹤影。285Please respect copyright.PENANApze7hSaXCa
285Please respect copyright.PENANAhoT1cLhsjl
秦逍目送他離去,在此星此夜,此情此景,竟仍能悠然玉立窗畔以目送人,有時秦逍自己也幾乎認同,或許自己根本沒有心。黑衣女子這時仍跌坐在窗下,兀自怒泣抽咽,他扶起她來,拂開了她下半身穴道,緩緩道:「在下冒昧,今夜要請姑娘到在下的宅邸住上一宿了。店家,」他回頭呼喚,叫了好半晌那當家的才知秦逍在叫他,心中是萬萬不願應,卻更萬萬不敢不應。忍不住顫抖著應了,卻連個頭都不敢探出來。285Please respect copyright.PENANAkFwsFL8tW4
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvZoakUKHAl
「有…有何吩咐?公子饒命…饒命……」285Please respect copyright.PENANAVfBTAVvZWH
285Please respect copyright.PENANAYpr3RQ8CEq
當家說的話,簡直抖到不成樣子,如非秦逍耳力好,恐怕沒人能聽明白到底他在說些什麼。285Please respect copyright.PENANACj99W6FlW8
285Please respect copyright.PENANAuFWd3QEr4A
「這些銀子,權當在下替那位爺給各位陪禮,」他隨手一拋,幾個錠子躍過店內桌椅,不偏不倚落入櫃內,嚇得當家的全家人都縮在一起,瞪目一看,竟有好幾十兩銀,和幾個金葉子。「店家拿去清理了房間,如有餘下的,就請各位拿去吃杯茶罷。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAPS13DQCVGQ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAO4UX93WdeO
這時店家也不知今夜到底自己是迎來了瘟神還是送走財神,顫巍巍湊出頭來,只見白衣的公子道:「姑娘請吧。」那黑衣人心不甘情不願,好半晌才勉力站起身來,也聽不清他們又說了些什麼。黑衣人拿了一包粉末吞下,當下那公子偕了黑衣人手臂,竄出窗去,連皎白的月光都留不住他倆一點殘影。285Please respect copyright.PENANAKYFAdswIHX
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3gNtIbfkjH
誰知夜深露重,即便有秦逍攜著她手前行,她服下的軟筋散卻一點一滴正在發作,只弄得她渾身虛軟、昏昏欲睡,連途中景色如何,莊子在甚麼方位,進莊之後又走了什麼路線,她竟絲毫不能記得。現在回想起來,她不禁覺得,秦逍根本是知道這藥力的作用的。過去十數年間,玉面俠盜的落腳之處,或有耳聞,卻鮮少人能精確地指出路來。285Please respect copyright.PENANAcASTCloW0t
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMeu3Q6z3OA
她只隱約記得自己伏在秦逍背上,看見莊門上頭的匾大大的「紅樓莊」三個字,時陽光初露,一旁青山一道綠水傾瀉,鳥語花香,儼然一座世外桃源。285Please respect copyright.PENANATu9E6gBviQ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEUlybeFUFZ
見此情景,她雖腦袋昏昏沉沉,卻仍忍不住道:「我說是誰,原來是大名鼎鼎的玉面盜,怪不得一出手就是金葉子、銀葉子,恐怕這幾兩對玉面盜而言,還是我少見多怪了──」285Please respect copyright.PENANAgtgZ3uAq3d
285Please respect copyright.PENANAofdz3uEFSK
「你渾說什麼?金葉子、銀葉子對爺而言,算得什麼?」285Please respect copyright.PENANA56KuVej91V
285Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zrn2jHBaK
旁邊有人猛地打岔進來,她感覺秦逍根本不曾打算開口,也渾不在意,卻不知這說話之人是誰。285Please respect copyright.PENANAK2MKPSqCyM
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZQfu7rrKsF
只聽秦逍道:「替我將這姑娘攙了。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAzoYszxK7MR
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEd9RoOlMmv
那人應了,連忙喚來幾個婢女,眾人接過她虛軟的身子後,秦逍竟仍一路隨家僕們一起到她被安置的房裡,婢女們將她放上床榻,此時藥力將緩,她意識稍清了,忍不住道:「我不睡賊人屋裡的床。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAjo1RPdygyX
285Please respect copyright.PENANAa6nUk6JGiQ
「姑娘稍歇,過幾個時辰姑娘醒了,在下自會將姑娘請下榻來相談。」秦逍也不生氣,面上笑容淡淡的,一夜沒睡他似乎也是倦極。隨後他到底和身旁家僕交代了什麼,她根本聽不清,也無心去聽。想起自己復仇不遂也罷了,竟任仇人輕視饒命,眼睜睜瞧霍顛揚長而去,比起這些惡人的可惡可恨,她更氣自己的無能為力。285Please respect copyright.PENANAzHnZRCzKbb
285Please respect copyright.PENANArxvXAWGV3P
「爺今夜又空手而回麼?」285Please respect copyright.PENANAuNtqCFV868
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZAuWoim2Ap
「奪了賊老尤情婦的小金櫃,裏頭的珠寶渾沒啥稀罕,爺能瞧上眼麼?櫃裡的幾十兩金子銀子又都送給了店家。」285Please respect copyright.PENANApDqUvRkPcG
285Please respect copyright.PENANAz7eS8ufZI3
「爺素來這樣。只是我萬萬料想不到,爺竟會帶個姑娘回莊。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAplNLiuFyRF
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0NgFvSdKiW
她躺了半晌,思緒漸漸平靜了,才恍惚聽起門外似乎有人談話。此時她雖無法運用內力,但意識愈來愈清明,耳力也敏銳起來。285Please respect copyright.PENANAhLlnN1dGDG
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFCMmSgXKnd
「都過這許多年了,……姑娘還是爺最牽掛的。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Cbr4q8pS
285Please respect copyright.PENANAA1AiSOp7c5
「別提了,沒的惹爺傷心。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAsSYssesdwK
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMh23q9Fq8y
她立刻坐起身來,走出門外,一道日光強闖眼簾,見著那日頭的高度,她才發覺原來自己已躺了至少兩個時辰。285Please respect copyright.PENANACfkFCpBMCp
285Please respect copyright.PENANA9veQLCDYN3
兩個在門外伺候的婢女見了她福身道:「姑娘。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAiKnWunYzoY
285Please respect copyright.PENANA12CglaQeAz
「秦逍在哪裡?」285Please respect copyright.PENANArmO3GC9lP2
285Please respect copyright.PENANAGiM71qbBZu
兩個婢女垂首互望一眼,其中一個趕緊又一萬福,口齒清晰地道:「回姑娘,我們爺一夜未闔眼,眼下還沒醒呢。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAAO7UsECirB
285Please respect copyright.PENANAF8l7aNVNsQ
黑衣女子沉吟片刻,忽然道:「我說過,我不睡賊人的床。帶我去秦逍那裏。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAg6PQhw9xlj
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqpFRbZFLXe
那婢女面露為難,「爺交代了,姑娘有什麼需要,但憑吩咐,但願姑娘能得片刻休息,待爺醒了,奴婢自會來稟報姑娘。」285Please respect copyright.PENANA0bPVdrK5YN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAGwt0nlEXuH
聽她們這般說,她心中不覺更氣,讓人饒命已是屈辱,這時這股仇恨的怒火又萬般不被對手看在眼裡。她舉步要走,兩個婢女連忙擋在前頭,她拐過頭去又走,兩人又急急忙忙攔住,口裡說道:「姑娘萬萬不可…不可妄自行動啊。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAgqsn9qY0c9
285Please respect copyright.PENANAHYTzA45AjU
她忍不住要運氣提掌,誰知氣到了丹田處便再也上不來,只得低喝:「讓開!」285Please respect copyright.PENANAmejtegfUKD
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1LcZ7yltPt
「姑娘要去哪裡,奴婢帶路便是,只是姑娘的確萬萬不可妄自行動,這莊子布局巧妙,如無人帶路,姑娘恐怕會困在莊裡,一時尋不到的話──」285Please respect copyright.PENANAlji3byYxvk
285Please respect copyright.PENANAL6mcaLbaKP
聞言她微懍,「那麼你帶我去找秦逍。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAzXJo3gZBcH
285Please respect copyright.PENANAolsbSvwiBD
「姑娘,奴婢說了,爺的確還未醒來,姑娘此時去了,又能怎麼樣呢?姑娘不如再歇會兒,待爺醒了──」285Please respect copyright.PENANAyhALW559pf
285Please respect copyright.PENANAnn83WabOoZ
「弦韶,你不如就帶她去罷,」屋宇忽然傳來一人的聲音,聽來稚氣未脫,卻似乎有股貴氣。黑衣女子當下朝屋宇環視了一二圈,卻並未瞧見任何人的身影。285Please respect copyright.PENANARtfsVAm4ZC
285Please respect copyright.PENANACB1jcmYgZG
「子迢公子回來了,」那婢女朝屋頂一隅微一福身道:「這是爺今晨帶回來的客人。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAUziEl63dQK
285Please respect copyright.PENANAx4QL0tuCmN
「我已聽常叔說了,看來她說話雖好聽,脾氣卻是不小哪。」那少年的聲音一笑,接著道:「你不如就帶她去罷,爺雖未醒,但她既然想這麼乾瞪著眼,何妨就帶她去?普天之下想這般瞧著爺的女子,自紅樓莊排隊排到莽江去,可能都還排不完,但能這般瞧著爺的女子,卻恐怕只有──」285Please respect copyright.PENANAxlDY6uKrj8
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWYVj23LbMa
「子迢公子別開玩笑了,」那婢女竟打斷了他,福身道:「爺聽了會不痛快的。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAwZnAPQOeFA
285Please respect copyright.PENANA56DYS9vZFj
「好吧,好吧,」那少年的聲音卻又笑道:「不過,與其讓她這樣糾纏,一時半會說不準還走丟了人,你不如就帶她去罷。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAHj5RDNc8dZ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAO6twJe93jW
那叫弦韶的婢女狐疑地瞧著他,只聽少年又道:「有我在,她不能對爺怎麼樣的。」285Please respect copyright.PENANAYvqa5jlqbg
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkI8757opPu
於是她就忿忿地讓那婢女領著,穿過果然非常複雜的一段路才來到秦逍房裡。也果然直到日上三竿,秦逍才終於醒來,她的一股氣也差不多都給等到平了。
