「妳到底在做甚麼？」父親凝視著她，嚴厲的神情堅硬如石。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6hOfj3hs
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNETfizPj
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NVST5vCVE
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGjyxEBGe
「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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmZ0kfB6AM
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxKW67gOap
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g3f895Kxh
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTH9ISYYjR
「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？」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyiwxX99TD
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZKIh3O55F
「女兒不需婚聘，願隨王爺左右，一生一世。」湖衣也愈發倔強。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOHqVL0yxh
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT76ggoduL
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGsvVKaV8L
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3gwDoyWO4
父親深深幾個吸吐，臉部線條和緩下來。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG8i70kOwl
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQT2t0ttjM
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGdEITU6TU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNfoqZesi
湖衣不可置信地瞪大了眼。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgdXHTN2p
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMP3UeAmQ
「孩兒，」父親溫情地撫撫她的頭，「妳能安然回來，真是太好了。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3MKjBPz6I
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VIxb2LIDi
「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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZKVAMSzoQ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BvX5MV0Hh
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtouaHGAUHr
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0JEf5yzDB
湖衣點點頭，「我去湖邊吹吹風，很快就回去。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28DqdE364
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe3SRdqTBn
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIozF8QCCK7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCp0IMamgq
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmKJWVZ0D4
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfO9sobSTP
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO6rka9Ho1
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvtJfy9BL8
這麼冷的天，冰月在哪裡？314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeRN64Hy58
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2RkWPacai
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr801pdRUp4
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHe8Huwcws
但是她有莫名的預感，冰月一定好好地活著。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhZ9Rz4N5b
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYVhI4iFj
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQQjUXt4J
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpmYQxt89q
所以妳一定要安然無恙啊，冰月。她在心中祈求314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujKMK9BAcW
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDes5HRH9R5
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjhf6E25XR
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLQK6Uqlh
「妳又忘了帶傘。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXqTOlelCY

她轉身面向他，他的眼裡溢滿牽掛。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWeJ9oX4v2
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfH0Ez98zr
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUWztiD7KX
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRg535GbYq
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G9CG2sRP8
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYTvz87Ta
任她在懷中繾綣了半晌，他忽然問起：「遇見孽龍了嗎？」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKUKLML1Z
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC5CuibwRr
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXouOJu9OHS
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJZIi5CxMp
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我可沒這本事。」神情帶著些許悵然。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnS3BvsHnk
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Qmthyyr3
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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixUUO24uTz
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstuwLUHWJz
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoovrxpAQPS
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt65EJh0VJt
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbyQEppZqB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD8lqKx2z9
她慌忙抬起頭，看見的是一副令人不寒而慄的笑容。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC94JH9u6NN

汪直。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cl6ZYhE1S
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPpnAeQTWx
「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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUzuTnRTU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXViBwXiUaZ
「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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapkrao8UCc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68TXu84rEz
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxPGc4KmNy
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkpksgDaPY
「作夢！」湖衣怒斥。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7q0q8bz3Q
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzeoftrSx2
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……」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloK0nh0CGb
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9kBfpuUkf
冰冷的刀鋒搭上湖衣頸側，汪直續道：「……男女都一樣。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fTxA96mzj
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSwO4x4rPe
「湖衣！」朱玹的呼喊穿過重重包圍。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UW7VkKK7f

「王爺，王爺！我在這裡！」湖衣不停叫喚。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Kv6oB8vb

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……314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKXTwqGoG
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzQ4NoTp3
等了半刻，刀沒落下，只有重物墜地的聲響314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWEzX8MGyD
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSvzfInLaE
「大哥，你知道我最痛恨哪種人嗎？」一個陌生的聲音說道。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGV3JLLXV2
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVs4rR9GVP
「三弟向來痛恨朝廷鷹犬。」另一個聲音回答。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGTa48s1Bt

「對，還有以多欺少，勝之不武的豎子。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3OrL1bdMR

湖衣放膽睜開了眼睛。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYuzqC0Al8
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5gyCFGmCE
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFzu0qGyqA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP0RzASsVF
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnXjGkz0nA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKsBerEzTy
「是個太監，」男子啐了一聲，「晦氣！三爺我最痛恨閹貨。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kjDAAxvxB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEObxdIszC
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABM1zTOgqP
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFXC3nL966
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFJmK0beB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbES0sxvB6X
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTAM29QCW8
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM156jZsfU2
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。 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi1wxzvvea
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zntafOj5J
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxF4NjpVx
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOVzmkP8oW
朱玹沒有戀戰，逼退敵人之後迅速向湖衣奔去。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhNsqXzVaE
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHSEPcKr9Z
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcXrxGI78W

「退！」汪直不甘心地大喊。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFiwbWDNcb

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20xdkk3jL5
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKyZQvujmJ

湖衣搖搖頭。 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDFeEyiJJw

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwVgacKQBD
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm8QdrJXQE
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ylSxUeCkm
湖衣縮身躲在朱玹背後，聽見雙方交談，不禁心生感激。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TNgUNtGD
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEflvPxPPiy
「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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu16JcUnLks
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nFfVVPgMi

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBuJyLvdc1

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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPlJ1VA2vN

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvscJ08uWqW
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。」314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJCRbi1ef
