「妳到底在做甚麼？」父親凝視著她，嚴厲的神情堅硬如石。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kxwJAhCIF
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M7P0aeWJQ
湖衣望向父親剛厲的側臉，辭官之後，父親雙鬢霜白，儀態更顯威嚴，聲調因為日日講學而底氣十足，但她已經不是個會懼怕父親的孩子了，她同樣有著堅定的意志，和半步不退的決心。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqKpNfsZNW
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuetTCvjuY0
「女兒與王爺，已經相約白首。」一如往常，湖衣並不期待父親會諒解。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLKmWvrgsD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA3iABSFmO
君要臣死，臣不能不死――這是父親聽說她和朱玹遭西廠伏擊後，所說的第一句話。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLEPL34H6
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz5xck8fSG
「愚鈍，一女不事二夫，」父親一聽，果然眉頭皺得更緊，聲調也提高些許，「況且，聘則為妻奔是妾，這道理妳豈不明白？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA3afBrRHV
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWfzPgojTl
「女兒不需婚聘，願隨王爺左右，一生一世。」湖衣也愈發倔強。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRx20AAZ7W
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz8GYM6Plc
她知道，自己又令父親失望了。自她偷跑出門後，不但身犯七出，違反婦德和禮法，又與朱玹私訂終身，如此失貞失德，父親定然以她為恥。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAzLybKemr
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrjeZNy0f1
父親深深幾個吸吐，臉部線條和緩下來。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUFsNWhNeo
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hjdFtVxV1
「既然如此，那就隨妳吧，」父親淡然地說：「妳和睿王留在書院，我想西廠還不至於強行闖進學地拿人。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7cm6cuSyR
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDfKDgGLt2
湖衣不可置信地瞪大了眼。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqS7a0LXAP
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ho0tzhCf
「孩兒，」父親溫情地撫撫她的頭，「妳能安然回來，真是太好了。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6gZhaj0GR
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMacbMzWrhW
「我……」湖衣眼眶一熱，因為太動容而難以言語，她從未見過這般慈愛的父親。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7RUKm2fOC
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43DVSlzAYC
「好了，」父親為她收緊了披風，「我得回去講經了，妳也早點回去，別讓妳母親掛記。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0oOcrPfM
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23g9RHwuTH
湖衣點點頭，「我去湖邊吹吹風，很快就回去。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ad1EghDNy
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUA5O93DN
父親錯身離開，一步步行去，她一直等到完全看不見父親背影，這才向莫愁湖走去。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyiLX0YE1r
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneEZDP7spr
在樹木的葉尖都染成黃色，細雨綿綿的秋日，她終於回來了，她思念已久的家。儘管周圍人事已非，莫愁湖還是和千年前一樣，靜靜地流淌。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4a8D1XJUo
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYhCUOvTeO
天色陰霾，與遠方灰暗的山巒暈成一幅水墨色的畫。牛毛般細密的雨絲，凍得扎人。稍晚，她還得去山上的棲霞寺，為咸若宮眾人的靈位上香。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLWIhllWj
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48trYzyufS
這麼冷的天，冰月在哪裡？296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGcMcuPcKL
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Cpx21Kl9
冰月的雨過天青手絹曾伴著她度過無數絕望的日子。她還聽說，冰月是為了替她陪伴母親，才會去放賑、才會遭到萬國舅逼婚，落得家破人亡。如今冰月不知所蹤，連父親的舊部都不知她在家變後流落何方。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7D0JqNn7y
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9rk7pgFsx
但是她有莫名的預感，冰月一定好好地活著。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAPvxEjHeE
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BIXDQv7cb
記得冰月的父親曲大人曾經誇讚她們，說兩人都是勇敢的孩子，無論如何艱難，都能堅強地挺過。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx12DyDjt3M
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRCDzI8MLQ
所以妳一定要安然無恙啊，冰月。她在心中祈求296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoStiqU67dc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OL4KHqQn7
一隻溫暖的大手握上她的肩頭，轉頭一看，朱玹撐著紙傘站在她身後。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hIZwgAGjs
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFiIsHq7mQ
「妳又忘了帶傘。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMOsQIl1c
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDzX0FzUut
她轉身面向他，他的眼裡溢滿牽掛。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm5T0iNjjk
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMLR2Vt9oM
「哎呀，江南一到秋天就這樣，成天淅淅瀝瀝，」她不自覺地把臉貼在他的胸口，「可這雨啊，連衣裳都淋不透，我們都管這叫相思雨，日日夜夜，綿綿密密，都成枉然。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SLiBkviOI
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEgOsxiFst
他一隻手撐著傘，一隻手將她緊緊擁入懷裡。想證明眼前的一切不是枉然。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaY6IVpBEy
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCkKrpnPRq
任她在懷中繾綣了半晌，他忽然問起：「遇見孽龍了嗎？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiDxDaSmPr
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpjWYgh7Ox
「沒有，就算傳言是真，那也是在玄武湖，這是莫愁湖，」蕭瑟秋意帶來的傷感很快地煙消雲散，她輕笑，「其實，我挺想看王爺屠龍的英姿。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCQ7acLfZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaB1o6EV8n
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我可沒這本事。」神情帶著些許悵然。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDNt1Qmt8p
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNr74g8BlJ
湖衣知道他還為在林間遭伏擊一事耿耿於懷，到了金陵之後，他每日天未亮就起身練劍，將自身武力和氣力逼到極限，嘴裡不時念著：「一直待在軍伍，竟成了井底之蛙。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpsGPvGuvX
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpYLoM2Msd
那時境況凶險，若不是一群陌生人援之以手，他二人恐難全身而退。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vrC2OOjeb
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIINI6swVgg
當晚在杏花林，朱玹拔劍相護，錦衣衛仗著人多勢眾，瞬間一擁而上，兩人隨即被衝散。湖衣回過神來，發現自己已被西廠廠衛包圍，混亂中有人扯住她，一把將她推倒在泥地上。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAKxELxeNC
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixMHGHBXJX
她慌忙抬起頭，看見的是一副令人不寒而慄的笑容。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BDGT64qG
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKVwBrRvRE
汪直。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3pFw4SJyF
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sy5qEeJm8
「別過來！」她拔出藏在靴子裡的匕首，焦急地尋找朱玹的身影，原來他在不遠處和一群錦衣衛緹騎纏鬥，雖然暫時游刃有餘，但緹騎為數眾多，不斷擴張圍圈，將兩人的距離越推越遠。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxMDDLiJDm
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG2YESzviO
「王爺！」湖衣大喊。然放眼所及皆是敵人，她的聲音根本傳不出去。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Rd3rvtT8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMhZlXyO3k
「別叫了，省點力氣，」汪直眉眼含笑地瞧著湖衣，「本座不是想要妳的命，是想妳幫個忙，妳只需聽話，我們大可不必見血。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zVzl0kTzt
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM0g3e1Evn
「作夢！」湖衣怒斥。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG34XFaQBD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rta7xU5Ju
汪直以異常平靜的口吻說：「一開始人們都會拒絕，等進了西廠詔獄，再強的意志也會崩解……」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVYotclCzO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRxNkQWAb
冰冷的刀鋒搭上湖衣頸側，汪直續道：「……男女都一樣。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jScVnb7Bg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPQTQrA6h
「湖衣！」朱玹的呼喊穿過重重包圍。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFufpHEYtJ

「王爺，王爺！我在這裡！」湖衣不停叫喚。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87uqerjhZ4

汪直下令：「帶走！別讓人看見她。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vvsXOZ3ya
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGiSavoGfS
兩名錦衣衛緹騎扣住她的雙臂，欲拖著她走，湖衣使勁壓低身子，不讓他們得逞，另一名緹騎在她面前抽出腰間繡春刀，她低垂雙眼不敢再看……296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyFmK3mD2U
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX0d64dRp0
等了半刻，刀沒落下，只有重物墜地的聲響296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLaPb1lZ3G
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAyvuW0858
「大哥，你知道我最痛恨哪種人嗎？」一個陌生的聲音說道。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlVGl0Zx2
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD17uP3JNVz
「三弟向來痛恨朝廷鷹犬。」另一個聲音回答。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvu4pEGEET

「對，還有以多欺少，勝之不武的豎子。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmF3xKcEM3
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2euJTKCQXv
湖衣放膽睜開了眼睛。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG0OvVnCBZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59V7gqoEZ
三名緹騎神情痛苦地蹲在一旁，繡春刀被震落在地，四周圍繞著二十餘名黑衣人，其中為首的兩人，一人年紀較長，神形粗曠豪邁，應是方才對話中的大哥，而他口中的三弟，身形精實，丰神俊朗。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWkBlAId2j
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPAaACAIvh
幾名校尉直衝過來，那位三弟出手格擋，手腕一轉，校尉的兵器脫手，身軀還不由自主地往他屈起的膝蓋撞去，敵人吃痛跪倒，放聲哀號。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzARcnJVUHK
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYbYPXkckV
「是個太監，」男子啐了一聲，「晦氣！三爺我最痛恨閹貨。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZqhKHcQE
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDgznNbsw
西廠廠衛一聲發喊，眾人持刀上陣，就與那群黑衣人纏鬥起來，儘管西廠人數眾多，但黑衣人似更慣於團戰，各自挑好對手，切斷眾廠衛連結，此攻彼守，迅速便佔了上風，尤其是那兩名為首的兄弟，身手顯然高出西廠眾人許多，大哥刀法凌厲，先側身閃過朝他砍下的刀，跟著反手劈落，唰的一聲，敵人應聲倒地。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqsNZSBHJJ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiEJSHPvRx
而他三弟則同時遭兩名緹騎圍攻，他卻只攻不守，轉眼間劈出五、六刀，兩人被他的刀鋒逼得左支右絀，他趁兩人慌亂之際，使出虛招，砍向一人眉心，那人不敢硬接，舉起繡春刀格擋，他卻翻轉刀背打中那人手腕脈門，繡春刀脫手，插入第二人的胸口，那人發出一聲悶哼，向後仰倒，另一人被他一拳擊中心口，脫力跪地不起。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSjwsb47b
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49whPn1mSg
情勢變化發生得太快，湖衣還來不及看清，只見刀光飛舞，汪直的人一路落敗，已有多人倒地，剩餘的敵人勉勉強強往後退，密不透風的陣形潰散，包圍網破出幾道缺口，看來十分狼狽。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeAv3Ld1b
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUa3zKOhwy
陣形之外，朱玹兀自與錦衣衛都指揮使纏鬥，指揮使眼見不敵，豁盡全力躥上半空，舉刀向朱玹劈頭蓋臉地砍下，朱玹縱身迎上，提劍自下而上格住指揮使的繡春刀，刀劍相擊後，朱玹急轉身，劍刃一挑一砍，指揮使身在空中不及變招，頸邊脇下各中一劍，飛魚服瞬間染上鮮血。 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApf8udqyIx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgGJ0Id5s
指揮使咒罵了兩句，困獸猶鬥似地揚起繡春刀揮砍，朱玹反手疾刺，他手腕中劍，噹啷一聲，繡春刀落地。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDmAjKrXLX
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoUwXLBwnI
朱玹沒有戀戰，逼退敵人之後迅速向湖衣奔去。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPK6VGbARi
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvRqfXOYGx
汪直望向黑衣人、還有湖衣和朱玹，黑暗中他紅著雙眼，瞠目欲裂。林間打鬥聲漸漸止息，他帶來的人多數都已負傷，錦衣衛扶起都指揮使後，緩慢聚攏，剩餘的西廠廠衛也趕了過來，在汪直身後的重組陣形。眼下敗局已定。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkip64k3SXM
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPvKGdGcko
「退！」汪直不甘心地大喊。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ3yosMIkF

「君子報仇，十年不晚。」汪直臨走前陰冷地瞥了兩名陌生人一眼。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOu0TDuoR
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAFPNOd3g
受傷的人蹣跚站起或由人攙扶，整隊後迅速地退去，剩餘緹騎集結成防禦隊形殿後。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD8bjRJ8uX

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr0bWp1Qy8
「朱兄不必客氣，」那位身形粗豪的大哥亦抱拳回禮，「在下姓豫，這是我的結義兄弟，楚寧。我們兄弟二人見這幫人行跡可疑，料想其中有詭，這才率人尾隨其後，沒想到他們竟意圖偷襲，令人不齒。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ485PjyGymD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhCRfJdVu4
湖衣縮身躲在朱玹背後，聽見雙方交談，不禁心生感激。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJOw5RtNF
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckaquwlxKA
「是，穿飛魚服的肯定不是好東西，」那位俊朗的三弟說道：「不過，朱兄你也真行，我頭一次見人同時被錦衣衛和西廠閹貨聯手追擊，你一定給朝廷惹了什麼大麻煩。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IYvsTWzUb
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEzBuzaKuj

她猜到西廠又起，也見識過錦衣衛的惡行惡狀，但總隱隱覺得在這背後的汪直有更大的圖謀。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJKzBx3V1

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwE6tTv8mN
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我猜不著，但我有個預感，汪直在金陵大興冤獄，萬貴妃毒害嬪妃和皇嗣，箇中原因不是只有濫用權力和驕奢善妒那麼簡單。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9EbtD4xFb
