夜色沉沉，皎月如鉤，銀光灑在深宅大院之中，靜謐地連風都屏息不語。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWOVvCeTQt
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXufopi0M1O
整個袁府籠罩在一片沉靜的靄氣中，竹影搖曳，水聲淙淙，偶爾傳來守夜婢女輕聲的交談。儲庫門外的走廊上，孤燈微亮，映著黯淡的牆角，一切看似如常。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBcuFsVisZ
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWBmxKrvY
然而，就在這寧靜之中，一絲極細的紅線悄然竄出儲庫的門縫，在黑暗的夜色中顯得突兀。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkGzr09VHq
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlnaCInybI
不過幾個彈指間，一股濃煙直衝夜空，紅線轉為火舌，猛地一竄，如蛇信般舔上屋檐。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOZmNM1sNC
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoPMv09GCp
「不好了——走水啦！」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRBro5hZe
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uTt5Jt1Ly
驚叫聲打破夜的寂靜，恐懼瞬間傳遍整個院落。婢僕驚醒，慌亂奔走；守夜的下人提著水桶朝儲庫奔去，水聲、叫聲、腳步聲混成一片，整個袁府如被驟然擲入油鍋，沸騰而動。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhll6Z32MR
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsWs3uOfv4
火勢猛烈得出奇，木門、窗戶早已被火舌吞噬，濃煙滾滾，與夜空的漆黑融為一體。即使眾人趕來救火，水一潑上去，反被火星炸起，火光映得眾人滿面通紅。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rxJwdyzg
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYSex4TGnR
劉夫人匆匆披著外衣趕來，神情驚訝之中帶著一絲凝重。她站在火場外，眼神掃過燃燒的儲庫，並未如旁人般慌亂失措，只是沉聲吩咐：「快封東西兩側走道，別讓火燒到柴房！叫灶房調人，再提井水來救火——快！」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhVuvHtk6Y
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QdVxPcslR
火勢延燒了將近一炷香，終於在眾人通宵奔忙下，被壓制下來。儲庫幾乎全毀，只剩幾截焦黑的橫梁立在廢墟中，濃煙裊裊，滿地餘燼。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37IPv5gCbA
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlNXzmay7
「快檢查一下，是否有人傷亡？」劉夫人站在外廊下，聲音沙啞卻仍不失主母的威嚴。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdUswlKFRH
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9lILQTTXT
過不多時，一名婢女跌跌撞撞跑來，臉色蒼白，伏地稟報：25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qBoKF9YKy
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv2bQbACRk
「夫人……儲庫裡……發現了兩具女屍！」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyPsGHbxPc
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wYHhmwZj
「兩具？」劉夫人柳眉一挑。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOW9fiTC9Z
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGuD7cfkHl
「她們……燒得只剩焦骨，但旁邊有殘破的衣料，形制與紋樣……像是那兩個新來的婢子，蓮兒與容兒……」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIak2LOH4D
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDT307c1YM
聽到這裡，劉夫人眉頭深鎖，神情複雜。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgVBUSY0B
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZyIkzU909
「不對……怎麼會都在儲庫？不是只有蓮……」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2d1ltyhqb
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFizWavZJfD
這時，一道溫婉柔靜的聲音從旁響起。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYDhYqNYbJ
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVd27kx4mn
「是我。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvknq2Fu0bf
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlss9tnIcU
甄宓緩步而來，披著輕紗外袍，神色恬淡，清秀的臉上帶著幾分疲憊，彷彿也是因火勢驚動而匆匆趕來。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpStop5tsYe
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk8kWKvloM
她朝劉夫人略施一禮，低聲解釋：「這幾日我觀察許久，覺得那兩個婢子容貌不凡，身手也不似尋常侍女，心下有疑，便將她們暫時一同關入儲庫，想聽聽她們交談時，能否透露些什麼信息。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeBIvitzBD
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhS8rK8qlH
她語氣平靜而謙卑，無半分邀功，宛如只是出於對府中安危的謹慎。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9CwFl9kcm
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LosTb2VK
劉夫人聞言，面色不動，內心卻湧上一股快意。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKwR2KQKC
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBRvHljjF
那兩個婢女——蓮兒、容兒，皆是年輕貌美、氣質出眾，第一眼便讓她想起那五名死在自己手中的美妾，不禁心生妒意。如今，兩人都葬身火海，不費一兵一卒便除掉了眼中釘，實在叫劉夫人暗自稱快。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiqFnyBFqp
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuSTYovoo
她的神色瞬間轉為痛惜，輕聲嘆道：「唉，真是可惜了兩個好姑娘……竟死得如此不明不白。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0pC9cEed2
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz8itS2OxA
「我……也未曾料到儲庫會起火……」甄宓低聲說，神情微微悲戚，目光中卻無太多波瀾。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KYBTGx1wp
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEazswj8wUN
「罷了，死者已矣。盡快叫人收屍，別讓下人們議論太多。」劉夫人說完，便轉過身，指揮著奴僕們收拾現場，沒再去理會甄宓。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ZGnH7gLY
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrG7M0ICWQ
可她不知道，這場「意外」的火災，其實正是甄宓一手安排的計劃。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL339Ghtkh

鄴城中的某處密道內，兩道纖細的身影正迅速奔行。火光微弱，在土牆上映出若隱若現的人影。大小喬衣衫凌亂，臉上塗著灰燼，藏去原本傾城的容貌，身上只背著甄宓幫她們準備的的小包袱。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJve5IM1rOj
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXdMJBHeV
她們從地道繞過內院，一路朝西邊出口前行。此時外頭火勢正盛，袁府一片混亂，守門的家丁也全被調去滅火，無人注意地底暗道的異動。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R92S2KWBU
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5k5R9jgkb
穿出密道時，外頭是滿天星斗與深夜的冷風。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ogbfELRL
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyAOvkEakc
在夜色掩護下，兩人穿過無數條街道、巷弄，最後在一處破舊民宅的牆角邊歇下腳步。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FFSNwS2T7
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYyJ1aTg0T
那裡是一道斑駁牆壁與小巷交會之處，白日裡僅會有寥寥幾人駐足，深夜更是靜寂無聲。月光微瀉，照在兩人略顯疲憊的身影上，映出一絲說不清的靜謐。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQb058dl4X
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIMOoSoNS8
小喬抱膝坐下，望著前方的影子出神。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAVKRrAFCA
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjppI0DcpKR
「姊姊……」她忽然輕聲問道：「妳覺得……甄宓是個怎樣的人？」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmkp6n1IC
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVnUK5dfdG
大喬沒有立刻回答，只是輕輕地坐在她身旁，目光平靜地望向夜空。片刻後，她才道：25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDq6wG7VGT
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZPWXOuLr
「她不是無情之人，只是比世人多看一步。她明白天下大勢、明白局中利害，所以才選擇不幫我們——不是因為心冷，而是因為太清醒。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8gM4GejnL
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikj68jgl4t
她語氣平和，卻帶著幾分仿若親歷的理解。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqESiD74hE
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPKFQ7UTS
「她知道自己若涉險，會連累孩子。她不是我們的敵人，但也……不是我們的戰友。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHIxsDhTMf
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nAHwwRCZv
小喬垂下眼睫，聲音細細的：「那……我們就這樣放棄嗎？就這樣回去？」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4nb7bzyd
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCiLDqx65f
這話一出口，連她自己都覺得難堪——這麼重要的計畫，難道就因為自己的一場失誤，只能選擇退卻？25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP3WhlVx4k
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YBjvEdpy
大喬抬首望向夜空，忽然道：「妹妹，妳可曾聽過一句話？」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDJoHqGlEE
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9PQIVXTg
月光皎潔，映著她微微發亮的眼眸。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXvoInudHW
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptToMEnhUM
「士為知己者死，女為悅己者容。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnpghY5VQ
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Kme8E8DQ
小喬一怔，轉過頭看她。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXU84jOMhE
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RnMm46lrM
她熟讀史冊，自然知道這句話出自戰國時期的刺客豫讓之口。 豫讓曾是智伯的家臣，智伯被趙襄子所殺後，豫讓決心為智伯報仇。 他不惜改名換姓，甚至在自己身上塗漆，使皮膚潰爛，只為徹底改變容貌，以求機會刺殺趙襄子。 25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zdGyHDYva
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXNZVFn6vt
「妳明白我的意思嗎？」大喬看著妹妹，眼中閃著堅定。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKkQDqDMv
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMED3wLmaYY
小喬當然明白。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMp7fp9MB5
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqnRy8ZTNh
孫策、周瑜讓她們去執行計劃，不只是出於情意，更是一份信任——將那足以左右天下的大計，寄託給她與姊姊去完成，並相信她們能完成。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlgL4agsK0
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn8RjOTEne
「怎能就這樣回去？」大喬輕聲說道：「我們至少該付出一些，哪怕是微不足道，也要盡力完成使命，才不枉那份托付。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID4eYHbvlB
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu8TYyLCeF
小喬抿緊唇瓣，點了點頭。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pRv2ktrqA
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhh0TSOaSR
她想起臨行前，周瑜在夜中彈奏《鳳求凰》時，他們立下的約定。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAv7DDkhT7
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbBKBE6GUH
但，她不想為了保全性命，就這樣空手而回，至少該付出點什麼——不然，怎麼能與那首《鳳求凰》的心意相配？25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa14GX1YYXV
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2sHAtY4Ow
大喬站起身，拍拍裙擺上的灰塵，伸出手，朝妹妹笑了笑。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMn8ivAABI
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXntTJ8hLJq
「走吧。」25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUJ7jaK7k
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIrDK0bAKX
小喬伸手握住那掌心，也站起身。兩人相視一笑，月光為她們的背影渡上一層銀輝。25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVN4KXJLXc
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9vTOi3GdH
她們並未走向城門，而是回頭，重新往城裡走去，踏上那條未知而危險的路——為夫君、為大義，也為那句承諾。
