Chapter 5: Ever-Changing Events (17)
One
When the rumor reached the ears of the Dragoon General, it seemed to be a demagogic nonsense, and seeing that there were still people around him who were still talking about it, he immediately shouted: "Evil words confuse the people! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just a villain doing evil, and he has a heart to do it. ”
The legend of hundreds of years ago has been heard since he came to Dongzi, and the sad love story of Liuyue and the Dragon Maiden has been passed down to this day, and regardless of whether the Dragon King exists, if there is really a Dragon King at the bottom of the sea, why didn't he take the city with treasures a hundred years ago?
He didn't want to be on the battlefield for so many years, and it wasn't that simple to deceive him with this trick.
As soon as he frightened the people who were almost in chaos with his majesty, he heard someone behind him exclaim, "There is someone up there!"
When he heard this, he looked up almost subconsciously, and sure enough, as others said, there were people in the baskets under the four large "lanterns". Although the distance is a little far, it can be vaguely discerned that there are about three or four people on it.
They actually escaped with the help of "lanterns".
Finding that the rebel appeared in front of him, the dragoon guard general had no intention of arresting him, and immediately led his only subordinates to ride out of the city to chase the "lantern" that had flown out of the city.
However, even if there was an emergency that forced the general to let go of his heavy responsibility of defending the city, he could not easily leave the west gate empty and let the people leave the city without hurry, leaving only four soldiers with swords to defend the city.
Those who want to get out of the city see this, even if they are dissatisfied with the military master to close the city, they don't dare to do anything wrong.
However, when the city gate was still closed at the last moment, the four soldiers suddenly fell to the ground and passed out unconscious.
Ximen was already short of people at this time, and because of the military prestige, the common people did not dare to come forward to see why the military master was lying on the ground.
"The Black Feather Iron Cavalry was teased by us again and again today, I wonder if the invincible General Long Wei will be so angry that he will vomit blood tomorrow?"
A tall and slender man came out of the dark corner of the West Gate, followed by a tall woman, and she said lightly: "I don't know if I vomit blood, but it is possible to be angry." “
"Hey, the dangerous guy is gone, let's hurry up. The man picked up a small pebble beside the military master, and following his gaze, he could see a red mark on the back of the military master's neck. "If they are replaced with hidden weapons, these soldiers may survive tomorrow. “
"Fortunately, you are using stones, and the best way to stun them is to kill them, so don't attract attention, let's go. The woman pushed the man, and four people appeared in quick succession as she walked, one of whom was short, and only looked at his figure as an underage boy.
It was Bai Fan who assassinated the soldiers, Xiaoxue who spoke to him, and the others were Xu Daxia, Min Yu, and Zihui's friend, the flower boss of "Ten Miles of Fragrance", and Mei Yuehan, who woke up at this time.
Two
Outside the West Gate, next to the carriage.
As soon as he helped the teacher Xun Fuzi to get out of the car, he saw the elders standing in front of him, and even Xiaoxue, who had no formal manners, also saluted Xun Fuzi with everyone.
"No wonder Zihui invited me out overnight, I just thought he was bored and wanted to visit the city with me, but I didn't know that you had such a bold plan. “
The pine-faced crane bone Xun Fuzi stroked his beard, and his eyes were bright.
"Senior, I have no intention of bothering, I am really helpless, I hope you will forgive me. Xu Shu felt guilty and sincerely apologized.
Xun Fuzi disagreed, and smiled slightly: "There is no need to be like this. “
"But......" Xu Shu wanted to say something.
"Forget it. Xun Fuzi flicked his sleeves slightly, making it difficult for Xu Shu to explain. "It's just a night in the carriage, and it's not enough to worry about it. You are fearless, and you dare to sneak attack the Black Feather Iron Rider at such a juncture, which can be described as brave and strategic, and the future life is terrifying. “
Provoking the royal majesty, this is also called terrifying! Xiao Xue and Bai Fan silently rolled their eyes in their hearts.
"We are acting according to the Snow Maiden's plan, and the success of this plan is all due to the Snow Maiden's intelligence. Xu Shu moved to the side and stretched out his hand to introduce Xiaoxue to Xun Fuzi.
Xiaoxue was stunned, but she didn't expect Xu Daxia to suddenly mention her. For a while, she didn't know what to do, and bowed slightly to Xun Fuzi dryly, "Xun Fuzi senior...... The younger generation is polite. “
Bai Fan and Min Yu on the side stared at her with wide eyes and looked at her in surprise like a ghost. What an accident, the savage and willful Snow Maiden they had seen before was now like an ordinary woman who was gentle and humble to people, this is impossible, or did they see it wrong, this is really the wild girl?
Xiaoxue didn't have the heart to pay attention to the two of them at this time, and her heart was up and down at the moment, and she didn't know how to face a generation of virtuous and sage Xunzi. Damn, she can face elegant words and deeds generously, but in front of the old elders, it is difficult to express herself. If it was in front of that stinky old man, she wouldn't be taboo about any etiquette and virtue, but the person in front of her was a Confucian Venerable, and my sister said that the longer she lived, the more shrewd she was. The little trick to save people must have been seen through by him, in the end, it was a girl's family, she was still blushing and embarrassed.
Xun Fuzi's gaze paused at her for a moment, and then smiled: "Sure enough, as Zihui said, Hui Zhilanxin is a talented girl. “
"The seniors have won the award, Xiaoxue is just a little girl. "That's true, she's a girl, just a little wild. People who know her say that she is a girl who doesn't know how to measure, and Xun Fuzi's praise for her, how can she bear it. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at her seniors.
"Hehe, very interesting girl. Xun Fuzi took in her little girl's attitude, her eyes fell on Min Yu beside Bai Fan, paused for a few seconds, and said: "The hour is not early, you better leave Dongzi as soon as possible, the name of General Long Wei is not for nothing." “
When everyone heard this, they knew that tonight was not peaceful, there were many dangers, and it was a great blessing to be able to save people smoothly, and if they relaxed for a moment at the last moment, all their efforts and adventures would be in vain.
Xun Fuzi watched Xu Shu and them get into the carriage, and the coachman changed to Boss Hua to drive.
When Xiaoxue finally boarded the car, Yanxing suddenly asked her behind her back: "Brother Liu is good?"
Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look back at Master Yan, who was breezy and light, and replied, "He's fine." "It couldn't have been better.
Master Yan didn't say anything more, just smiled and watched the carriage leave in a hurry.
Three
The dim avenue had long since disappeared from the shadow of the carriage, and the two Confucian sages who were standing with their hands behind their backs still did not return their gaze.
"Zihui, do you know who this snow girl is?"
Xun Fuzi, who had been quiet for a long time, asked, frowned slightly, there was a deep and unknown light in his eyes, and hesitated: "Brother Liu once said that he is from Dayin, and presumably the Snow Girl is also from Dayin." Teacher, what's the problem?"
Xun Fuzi said: "You teamed up with the Long Clan and Yunwu to save people this time, obviously you have a rescue plan, but you chose the Snow Maiden's plan in the end. Presumably, the plan to borrow me out of the city as a cover was also made by her. “
As soon as he lowered his head in words and deeds, he replied helplessly: "The student is bold and deceives the teacher, which is really helpless." “
"Okay, why be helpless if you're all pulled in. Xun Fuzi flicked his sleeves, stopped the next self-reproach of the student he valued the most, he looked up at the moon, and sighed: "Zihui, do you know, why did I give up and return to the mountain at the invitation of the crown prince?"
"Didn't the teacher have to retire because of the martial arts competition?"
"It's one thing to have to, it's true to go out of the mountains. “
"Teacher....... Do you mean ......" words and deeds were stunned for a while, and I didn't know what to say.
"The Xinghai Moon Tower designed by the Xingyue family, the prince's visit to Confucianism, Ye Qianliu's exit from the mountain, the Long family and Yunwu gathered in Dongzi, and your rescue this time. Do you think that when I went into seclusion, I didn't know anything about what happened in the Central Plains, Nanchu, and Dongzi? Zihui, there are some things that you don't need to see with your eyes, you just need to think carefully to know a thing or two, and guess the causes. The old and heavy sage finally sighed lightly, with more vicissitudes of life and a trace of deep helplessness between his eyebrows. "As early as when Yuansheng told me that the crown prince invited heroes from all walks of life to come to the Confucian martial arts competition, I knew that I thought about Ansheng's future birthday, and I was afraid that it would be gone. Ye Qianliu is the same brother of Zhuang Yanzi, and Xu Shu is a disciple of Yan Yanzi, but he is staying in Dongzi, and Ye Qianliu is obviously invited by Huang Yuan to deal with him. I don't know who you're saving, but if you can take any chance, you're going to be able to take a risk, and that person is important to all of you. “
"Teacher, I ......." said and acted hoarsely.
"Needless to say, I understand what you mean. Xun Fuzi raised his hand to block the student's words, and then said: "You borrowed my intention to go to the appointment of the two princes, obviously to go to the appointment, but in fact it was to tie up, which I could have expected, but this follow-up happened, it was really surprising, this snow girl's method of saving people seems to be whimsical, incredible, and strange, but it just can catch the black feather iron rider off guard, and find another way to escape at such an urgent moment, her intelligence is no longer a talented woman, and she is even more talented than you. “
"The Snow Maiden is gifted and intelligent, and the students are ashamed of themselves. “
"Now that the people have been rescued and the Dragoon Guard General has been tricked, your plan can be realized?"
"Not yet, only one last resort remains. “
"Oh, Snow Maiden still has a hand, it seems, she is not only intelligent, but also delicate and meticulous. Xun Fuzi closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Words and deeds couldn't help but sigh helplessly when they thought of this last plan that the naughty girl had in mind. If the crown prince or Huangfu Yan found out that they were put on a role afterwards, I am afraid that they would be very angry. Now he understands why Brother Liu always looks helpless and headache to Snow Maiden, she is so cunning that it is really ....... Can't resist.
"Teacher, it's almost dawn, we're going back. Yan Xing glanced at the glimmer of fish white in the distance on the horizon, and subconsciously turned around, and saw that the coachman had brought another carriage from the middle of the city.
Xun Fuzi didn't reply to him, just stood there, quietly looking up at the half-bright and half-dark sky. Even though the dawn is approaching, the shadows of the night still hovering between heaven and earth, and the bright stars are shining brighter than ever, as if there are invisible threads quietly connecting the brightest stars, connecting them all closely, no longer separating.
Yan Xingyi was still telling the coachman to go in the direction later, and he didn't pay much attention to what the teacher was doing at the moment. I just faintly felt that there was a cool wind blowing in my ears, and the teacher turned his back to him and whispered: "The world is changing, and Confucianism is afraid that it will face many changes, and I can't stand by anymore." “
Four
At the same time, the West Bank port
On the upper floor of Xinghaiyue, Ba Qing, who has a lot of fairy wind bones, stands and looks, above the sky, there are many stars, and he can see it at a glance. The more he pondered the star map, the more his brows condensed, and he said to himself: "The changes in the stars are another catastrophe that cannot be avoided. “
The emperor rises, the four frontiers are majestic, the eight directions rebel, and the end of the troubled times will finally come. The Central Plains, which has been quiet for many years, finally began to usher in a bloody future, and the fate of the world was decided with swords and power began. The world is unpredictable, who can decide the direction of this country? The answer is unknown.
