「妳到底在做甚麼？」父親凝視著她，嚴厲的神情堅硬如石。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnAwJkZXRi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEEcI7TC01
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoVoMr69Jw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOuiL0NG39
「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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvEP9cXN5
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9cKEG7Fzp
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnmr0dxcvj
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNg5mm5yzY
「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？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTS2DEJUt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbNVT5Ifvp
「女兒不需婚聘，願隨王爺左右，一生一世。」湖衣也愈發倔強。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3yAnEDS6I
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd13laQLGmB
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZcVbDD5R
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVolV7bYMz
父親深深幾個吸吐，臉部線條和緩下來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiBHhpk5kH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyIucxaKt3
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECB4wx1DH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6AhbW1r0V
湖衣不可置信地瞪大了眼。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rrNAIQgd9
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsthDla6qQ
「孩兒，」父親溫情地撫撫她的頭，「妳能安然回來，真是太好了。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOIFHyxfj
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwXhziVmDh
「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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeuAenCMBE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY3OGhp4Di
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxaqVM4q9
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HBQcEOYqp
湖衣點點頭，「我去湖邊吹吹風，很快就回去。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew7QJum8yw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPH7pjSks
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULHWej79At
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3AWmxvJX0
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoHgoEK5aM
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK36rchJ8j
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSHK95CBNN
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70bmbAHka
這麼冷的天，冰月在哪裡？269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsOY5JeUde
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk75fzeOTc
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChaLJEvuyf
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gLRYREHi3
但是她有莫名的預感，冰月一定好好地活著。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzJ9JYNmSb
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWauLG27irq
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvIkFxkVt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TGaq9CqeP
所以妳一定要安然無恙啊，冰月。她在心中祈求269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEqIQPO27y
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqNucZj0u
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcuCcwXZZP
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar7RmP2Q6G
「妳又忘了帶傘。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCisjtqOAn7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6tbYfVLYG
她轉身面向他，他的眼裡溢滿牽掛。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAaSG1Pw7G
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxOZGMUbt5
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfiOHaL1Ol
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLyrRrOvbw
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3aWQ9Viqp
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUbcXx0Uh
任她在懷中繾綣了半晌，他忽然問起：「遇見孽龍了嗎？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30rB3L8s6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpwS8eed5f
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF2LgEyw09
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXN8Jp3xup
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我可沒這本事。」神情帶著些許悵然。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5xwPXMTft
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUaQRU9oMY
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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBJnTX2tA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx26xptVKiG
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetcWBxx0T
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmgWUZT805
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynsVIPUCsT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaikr6Ccp0
她慌忙抬起頭，看見的是一副令人不寒而慄的笑容。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSK6Ah28K
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6TRsNYND
汪直。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1yNK1Eolr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPkDd0vAEc
「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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPOviP1DpZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtNPuBYZI5
「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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYllVejxznm
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFI0482yG
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AZBTDMVRo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvvMdnqha1
「作夢！」湖衣怒斥。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEpcTOr873
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhULejQM7
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……」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROHTBFcDmc
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaMv8FoE6M
冰冷的刀鋒搭上湖衣頸側，汪直續道：「……男女都一樣。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogBZZOF8Bt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMCPS1HS6i
「湖衣！」朱玹的呼喊穿過重重包圍。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEYjmnc4KB
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpffGQfhyK
「王爺，王爺！我在這裡！」湖衣不停叫喚。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9UTSdHEu
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8oYZdXTB0
汪直下令：「帶走！別讓人看見她。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTa70rpo0i
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lvvitrqm9
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……269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgC3qoKdtb
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqtERAHXiH
等了半刻，刀沒落下，只有重物墜地的聲響269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8binyqF4Jx
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj9maKEJBf
「大哥，你知道我最痛恨哪種人嗎？」一個陌生的聲音說道。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9I0d4upkq
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwGROAdK4W
「三弟向來痛恨朝廷鷹犬。」另一個聲音回答。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpkaKzizIK
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9mTEpK0lM
「對，還有以多欺少，勝之不武的豎子。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHuRTMmn4A
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSWHeQr8Va
湖衣放膽睜開了眼睛。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zkUCJxFYr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxd6tRxpoy
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBACiGGrzq
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAFgp1NJp
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvrCoQDq0m
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gfs5wrVS
「是個太監，」男子啐了一聲，「晦氣！三爺我最痛恨閹貨。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1sy0slfSf
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tt2Ni1ML4
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3RCc3qxPo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbwASkk2cg
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgvMUo9T3T
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aqrNlzAZO
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDHs9UBVLd
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uoQ5l00Fh
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。 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZw47tt8h6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2jsbHlIrF
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYZ8eXoEL3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0NTJ8HNf7
朱玹沒有戀戰，逼退敵人之後迅速向湖衣奔去。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXPVQBbF9M
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BLso7SpCT
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaIICB5Q4G
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkrTMoGNW
「退！」汪直不甘心地大喊。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLPn5MQ2ta
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNinxTRcdV
「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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbG68SB8d
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kdSrD7BBj
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOmWaHvzG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUhqC60gg4
朱玹和黑衣人都明白窮寇莫追之理。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhvc412kUD
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMEMSPQHTh
待得聽不見足音，朱玹伸手扶起湖衣，「妳沒事吧？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iJI7Zmsqx
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlNlhS1m5Y
湖衣搖搖頭。 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyPknwP9HA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBXPe4IuEn
「在下姓朱，」朱玹轉向兩名馳援的男子，雙手抱拳作揖，「危難之際，多謝二位。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LVDgh2Igi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeoGgfU8E
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP5sd9mJT9
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZo9sRIbMq
湖衣縮身躲在朱玹背後，聽見雙方交談，不禁心生感激。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Au2UCwey
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZSBH1yEqw
「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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuNPCVnhQd
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIDRdDk6lb
「的確是，」朱玹低眉看了他的「大麻煩」一眼，「還多虧二位相助。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otnQXD5aG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NsDynw2aV
「朝廷鷹犬慣於欺壓平民，見則相助是我輩之責，不足掛齒，朱兄您自己多保重，別再輕易洩露行跡。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUJSDtnXrY

當日那名豫姓男子說的話不停在湖衣腦海中迴盪。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVztq7LOJ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtA43WC2TX
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。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13D8UAgLLM
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRBLWKHnnq
「王爺，當日汪直曾說，他不要我的命，而是要我幫個忙，你想，他究竟要我幹甚麼？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC5g63lzP3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWzKjL5Grh
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。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJQtHl81pa
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthMDKrXgtY
「我也是這麼想。」湖衣同意。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVUnA5xPo8
