「妳到底在做甚麼？」父親凝視著她，嚴厲的神情堅硬如石。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD4ydDvKrV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQHxZxoSwr
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ661BoBPIQp
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09vaZu4cU2
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp6LPcYOkk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMILgd3N5q
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHexekmfkk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7ZQraIv0
「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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENd0GKjnY0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZwapLgHuN
「女兒不需婚聘，願隨王爺左右，一生一世。」湖衣也愈發倔強。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqo1bmXPjf
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdio7JgEOG
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAejH5zPWI
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWcTjciygE
父親深深幾個吸吐，臉部線條和緩下來。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXMLykpGgv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn9VlLbEWO
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6EEXz2uv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvRWggNjZU
湖衣不可置信地瞪大了眼。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUrD7SJNZQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp9WXXPkjR
「孩兒，」父親溫情地撫撫她的頭，「妳能安然回來，真是太好了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJuAhzSJ7J
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjKh0tUi1u
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCYuyC0nDU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sY6nbZ2Pc
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2hpFfa8y
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ImI067HFJ
湖衣點點頭，「我去湖邊吹吹風，很快就回去。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcEpXPVZgK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ1Pa4GI3p
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1qdMr2cwx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlm1bfmVfD
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsRykr7i0a
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuptX1vhcvS
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA58OOGQYh8
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEAJVFN6F
這麼冷的天，冰月在哪裡？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdyEzhPd1l
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID8y9RwMfB
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HLssX9mn
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyHCJ8ijGJ
但是她有莫名的預感，冰月一定好好地活著。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFpeWFWpR6
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJolBnSbwrl
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGXEM3VN6
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdamr4hdWrV
所以妳一定要安然無恙啊，冰月。她在心中祈求317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD66qPRedMT
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvui5JWQ3K8
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2sH7uXEOk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1GVtmHqyy
「妳又忘了帶傘。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3HSJDtAry
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uqvanhfyX
她轉身面向他，他的眼裡溢滿牽掛。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWYE3WQpbq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdsHuVX69N
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9cHgdkVX
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYuVhXlFA3
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqdjsUJH2K
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEY7DvgUPZ
任她在懷中繾綣了半晌，他忽然問起：「遇見孽龍了嗎？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhruBnTeJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgFopz5xBP
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7pZnz4B3
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3TQprBy9d
朱玹搖了搖頭，「我可沒這本事。」神情帶著些許悵然。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGM88NKyd5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJ70DRwtC
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtWrv9yNLC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ka3ZvXh14
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRz5lBqVmK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDIX3sDGen
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn089Ed8QST
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qqkltFJwn
她慌忙抬起頭，看見的是一副令人不寒而慄的笑容。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsivwfZilj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIeeIP4UfG
汪直。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAninC3waq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37ChPhE9C
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1qw2VUd7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbTq6fNMyh
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ynSEkqXIa
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp3pgan25Y
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXaPuoL4aa
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fO80wewmc
「作夢！」湖衣怒斥。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpRHuYq3op
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVDPkBX1WI
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……」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSPc1Utr0s
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKcx2ewStR
冰冷的刀鋒搭上湖衣頸側，汪直續道：「……男女都一樣。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs25wblzg2
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKCxBhMFRN
「湖衣！」朱玹的呼喊穿過重重包圍。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Z2VVIY6U
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtwOLeuZSt
「王爺，王爺！我在這裡！」湖衣不停叫喚。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwjaNnDC6
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoOSKs16q6
汪直下令：「帶走！別讓人看見她。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YIheqtzhV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnubVxNYlKY
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……317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnrT2jqw9o
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6YA7DAvrw
等了半刻，刀沒落下，只有重物墜地的聲響317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalPYrTrZ8V
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvyrEwinos
「大哥，你知道我最痛恨哪種人嗎？」一個陌生的聲音說道。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfof8gMI46
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQNkaRXMKC
「三弟向來痛恨朝廷鷹犬。」另一個聲音回答。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZThxnFuxPz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnYsng2aCT
「對，還有以多欺少，勝之不武的豎子。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3MbA0eRd
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL33bMBrWLf
湖衣放膽睜開了眼睛。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvaW2vYHh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeETNnvHAqp
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kPt0Q76u5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTTnLQtHyX
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfoqAOoqcG
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRxZlkdSk7
「是個太監，」男子啐了一聲，「晦氣！三爺我最痛恨閹貨。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOtgkUJJSn
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsHgp12KdR
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZOKnCSEsO
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNupYvHlbw
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ekXCdakw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn9qszm8I9
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z8ybdKjqg
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElFvNow5qy
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。 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFunwUmbz8o
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY4VwlYqAZ
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho8HoPqbOA
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lOCBVLxQh
朱玹沒有戀戰，逼退敵人之後迅速向湖衣奔去。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyprjn3zVR1
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGjIK9XkD9
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oxGXdDYpq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb4tkQgnJo
「退！」汪直不甘心地大喊。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRIcyLZxX9

「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjEz83swsJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HNRiZXJ8Q
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rMO7Zqvzl
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT8HOLpI0L
朱玹和黑衣人都明白窮寇莫追之理。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePND3dFvNw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJIQM2kd2
待得聽不見足音，朱玹伸手扶起湖衣，「妳沒事吧？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioKYWj12Tr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFdgD8Epqu
湖衣搖搖頭。 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDzmT6BICh

「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NoAIvIAf4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulQ20ooyC8
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpllWTS9au
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7DXZzGkFl
湖衣縮身躲在朱玹背後，聽見雙方交談，不禁心生感激。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzARKJ7Q33
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg794ORw4b
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVjHueh3W2
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzRcSBIga
「的確是，」朱玹低眉看了他的「大麻煩」一眼，「還多虧二位相助。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6IvIrKGYT
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWKxc1OQkw
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWh7BvxNRa

當日那名豫姓男子說的話不停在湖衣腦海中迴盪。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19VaH9OxC7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYodwO6wlB
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTQx8fIvjk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqCf87toFe
「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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21GLO4dEiV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfle5pr1mD
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wFQtMnnJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHgeEHEQC0
「我也是這麼想。」湖衣同意。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazqpmKSqMp
