「妳到底在做甚麼？」父親凝視著她，嚴厲的神情堅硬如石。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87esS7x7J
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNTXbkCXsQ
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIS6i9WzjI
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg98LZRvj4
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NeWee0VWL
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqH4Wa8jy
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYPSsScOTn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q12QvLy1u
「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？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5MlaksWQT
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDvM2INzJ
「女兒不需婚聘，願隨王爺左右，一生一世。」湖衣也愈發倔強。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fzaZLWAbK
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R7MP6dkiZ
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqpwmLlZbW
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8rMLSqBv
父親深深幾個吸吐，臉部線條和緩下來。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfH2cHquen
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF0lObyyJb
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSl1iM9hlh
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts5JbdLQEV
湖衣不可置信地瞪大了眼。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG6zhfWluo
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyl1HDtQu4
「孩兒，」父親溫情地撫撫她的頭，「妳能安然回來，真是太好了。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT376Mk5AG0
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQgquLtjLy
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nkWDdrPhX
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj7U7vCSo5
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfWPBHegV
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r9FrSJgjg
湖衣點點頭，「我去湖邊吹吹風，很快就回去。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8y5K6sVP3
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUkaHq7kx
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcyC9d3NjW
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb3XaXGMun
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNymXEbZw2I
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPPr3T5zA
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinGQRs9B5Y
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0usWxuftg
這麼冷的天，冰月在哪裡？278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvTERoBrf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6Lw9LH4N
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6JJrtsaD
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0xjWnuihi
但是她有莫名的預感，冰月一定好好地活著。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8zCotfwSg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEAkCg1BYe
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKMNS5hYBv
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70GnmvTIZ
所以妳一定要安然無恙啊，冰月。她在心中祈求278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycIhHIFVK1
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjqAlMe6pf
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoCUqHVFsp
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW0aptyZCs
「妳又忘了帶傘。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau3qFmpNne
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwhpbDBbQu
她轉身面向他，他的眼裡溢滿牽掛。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdoKFb1oA
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXHvv2TywJ
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBsj6L8NDL
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh6W8v02fu
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4YQTFW95h
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8vgaHOuZY
任她在懷中繾綣了半晌，他忽然問起：「遇見孽龍了嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuwVqA09OJ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aUcCODJ9p
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ZuzOSkWH
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PuvTq32vj
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我可沒這本事。」神情帶著些許悵然。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPoQCsnptz
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfdMOoClHi
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUq8kHDoOf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92nD7GHpX
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs08b3tHIN
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ka082kMyG
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Up5d80ob
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0iDQgXyv
她慌忙抬起頭，看見的是一副令人不寒而慄的笑容。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0e1eb2Zyr
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdw1baU8FN
汪直。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSIW87RN55
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPHaYI1T3C
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKuiEyDb2v
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIusHbKD6H5
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShdRaT6acd
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJENUnI7qus
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGNIfxvVrz
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwyyNf081L
「作夢！」湖衣怒斥。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABz7cLGmAQ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFEJbwwtlM
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……」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEzHG3gFfm
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuDekQRQb5
冰冷的刀鋒搭上湖衣頸側，汪直續道：「……男女都一樣。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUszu75jPfj
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTkOYyuIsf
「湖衣！」朱玹的呼喊穿過重重包圍。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZdTRTmId0
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLshFJOdY1R
「王爺，王爺！我在這裡！」湖衣不停叫喚。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2ALIxY6f
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostkulxdGK
汪直下令：「帶走！別讓人看見她。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqAFCPP1uC
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1HlpYUJF4
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……278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXohQDBCHZI
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGflzSaoLh
等了半刻，刀沒落下，只有重物墜地的聲響278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULxR9nLhSv
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPF6GntcNx
「大哥，你知道我最痛恨哪種人嗎？」一個陌生的聲音說道。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA74EB0ndE
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCCX7n6SaP
「三弟向來痛恨朝廷鷹犬。」另一個聲音回答。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbVswxru11
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NOc0PiHF0
「對，還有以多欺少，勝之不武的豎子。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfoTFoXYaq
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6CXweypc
湖衣放膽睜開了眼睛。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlh2BSh3ZZ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6jvifWpIp
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMdQ2GuxPl
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghuXzG8Vo
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z5EVAwHm8
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHAqzcPNPk
「是個太監，」男子啐了一聲，「晦氣！三爺我最痛恨閹貨。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkeT2Z5qfi
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BsriyzRvM
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnZfp04lxf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbhw9FKZOJ
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cUtlngDon
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK20Hr9fYe
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HxZQEXN4v
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tLnG7bkMW
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。 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZnzTmZzZ4
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6I6tPWRYk
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXYd6hfJ0o
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFxKVkau3
朱玹沒有戀戰，逼退敵人之後迅速向湖衣奔去。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpEL9uKlKT
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4nRFIZ88l
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L2EHkICrZ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5b0puR1F
「退！」汪直不甘心地大喊。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJLPW3E5m
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn1L3cVNsg
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnKbKUDDC1
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKjK60Do0Q
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyVHSS8ElU
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTBYm8uyz
朱玹和黑衣人都明白窮寇莫追之理。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4wD9vxLnl
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ235a4X7xIC
待得聽不見足音，朱玹伸手扶起湖衣，「妳沒事吧？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSBskvSeeU
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2IWohJUX
湖衣搖搖頭。 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCZVV23H1M
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EycVet8af
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMHTP2ob9k
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOdOn3fRe
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZESLIZUphP
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuvovDxsUZ
湖衣縮身躲在朱玹背後，聽見雙方交談，不禁心生感激。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6fWxlDcMF
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpctmgPhyS
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UFIW6GZRf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvdhjNhXLu
「的確是，」朱玹低眉看了他的「大麻煩」一眼，「還多虧二位相助。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ncYqLnPyr
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3sCUMqfaf
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrWCO3oRU

當日那名豫姓男子說的話不停在湖衣腦海中迴盪。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYW588ts2C
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e7kcUzQ9R
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HDuHjSQue
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRIeDQpyNk
「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？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hahvqjYFT
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqgMjSKcXx
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8lnsMzI3P
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PHbvprirN
「我也是這麼想。」湖衣同意。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGp9hGggLf
