Chapter Ninety-Five: Afterword
The mountains are filled with smoke and clouds, and a flat boat sails in the middle of the river that passes through the mountains. Two women in white clothes and pink gauze skirts www.biquge.info carrying long swords at their waists, each holding a slug in their hands, were slowly pushing the boat forward at the stern of the boat. On the bow of the boat, Chi Hai sat on the side of the boat, his feet hanging in the water. I have lived in the dry temple for many years, and I am very curious about this feng shui in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the boat, Long Yan'an sat in it, and Mu Yaqin and A Qiu sat beside her. The three of them closed their eyes and were silent, and their expressions and movements were very tacit. In fact, along the way, Long Yan tried to escape three times, but was all caught. The first time he was caught by Ah Qiu, the second time he was chased back by Chi Hai, and the third time he was obviously invisible, but he happened to meet two disciples of Fang Caohui, who were the two disciples who were swinging the oar at the moment, and they were caught again. Long Yan was no longer looking forward to escaping again, and Mu Yaqin was sure that she must have been disheartened.
Xiao Wan had already taken the lead and returned to Fangcaohui before everyone else. First, he dedicated "Jianhua Benji" to the old lady, and second, he greeted Long Yan's arrival in advance.
After getting on the boat, Long Yan never spoke again. From Mu Yaqin's mouth, she had already learned everything, and the only thing she was worried about now was whether Han Xiaoyue could pass Situ Sheng's level. "Even if Han Xiaoyue worships heaven and earth with Mu Yaqin, I won't leave him." Long Yan has always had such thoughts in her heart, which has supported her all the way to the present.
"Miss Yan'er, you haven't spoken all the way today, aren't you comfortable?" Mu Yaqin felt a little apologetic in her heart and said with concern. Long Yan shook her head, but remained silent. Seeing that she still had such a tough attitude, Ah Qiu said, "Miss Yan'er, you have entered my Fangcao Hui realm, I hope you can be polite to us in the future." Otherwise, we won't be upset, but we'll annoy the other sisters, and there's no guarantee that they won't be rude to you. After hearing this, Long Yan glanced at her and said, "What, do you think I, Long Yan, will be afraid of you?" ”
Mu Yaqin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss Yan'er misunderstood, Ah Qiu just reminded her kindly." As he spoke, he continued, "Actually, the situation at Kuzenji Temple that day was special. If I leave you behind, I'm afraid that something will happen, so I have to bring you first......" Long Yan snorted and said, "Is it safe for Brother Xiaoyue to stay there?" Even if I die, I will die with him. As he spoke, he glanced at her and said, "Don't think I don't know, you still have illusions about him." However, I believe that Brother Xiaoyue will definitely not choose you! ”
Mu Yaqin nodded and said, "Yes, if I were Han Xiaoyue, I would never choose someone like me." However, I don't care about any reputation or status, as long as he is willing, I can be a concubine......" The last sentence came out, although the voice was not loud, but it angered Long Yan and also angered Ah Qiu. Long Yan said: "What, you still want to be a concubine?" There can only be one person in Xiaoyue's brother's wife, and that is me! Ah Qiu said: "What, the master wants to be a concubine?" The master wants to enter the Fangcaohui, how can he be a concubine for others? ”
Mu Yaqin hurriedly "shh The old lady has a tough body and lives a long life! In a hurry, Mu Yaqin coughed lightly twice, and hurriedly changed the topic, "That...... Ah Qiu, you go and ask Chi Hai, where are you now? As soon as the words fell, Chi Hai lifted the curtain and leaned in and said, "Yaqin, Miss Aqiu, we have arrived!" As she spoke, Mu Yaqin got up to go out, glanced back at Long Yan and said, "Miss Yan'er, do you want to come and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan?" ”
Long Yan shook her head. Mu Yaqin didn't do it reluctantly, picked up the curtain and stood at the bow of the boat with Ah Qiu and Chi Hai to watch. Not far away, is the herb.
On the official road, a cavalryman galloped past, stopped in front of Zhao Zhun and said, "Report to the marshal, Xiangzhou ahead." Zhao Zhun stopped his horse and nodded: "Inform the officials here in Xiangzhou, don't make a big deal." His Royal Highness King Zhou will stay for one night and leave! The cavalry took the order to leave. Zhao Zhun waved his hand, and the team continued to move forward.
Zhao Mo and King Zhou were riding in the same sedan chair, and the two were discussing how to unify the emperor's voice after returning to the dynasty. King Zhou said: "As my sister said, even if this king will shoulder the sin of losing the Sword Hua Benji, what will he do?" Zhao Mo said: "What can I do?" Father can count you down two sentences at most. And if you push it to the big handsome, I'm afraid the head on the item will be gone! ”
King Zhou chuckled and said, "Do you think that my father wants to kill him for a day or two?" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "These generals and marshals who now hold military power, those who know the current affairs have already asked for a generous reward and handed over the military power. Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide's gang will sooner or later have to be taken over by their father, and it is not known whether their heads can be saved. He Zhao Zhun, relying on your sister to save your life is worry-free, but you must also know how to advance and retreat. Zhao Mo listened, and said, "Where did you hear this?" ”
King Zhou chuckled and said, "There is no wind and grass, I dare to speculate?" Needless to say, my father must have meant this! Zhao Mo listened, nodded and said, "It's been a long time, you were sent by your father to ask for your life?" King Zhou shook his head and said, "Sister, how can you say so ugly?" At most, this king is kind to persuade him, and at most he is here to claim power. If Zhao Zhun doesn't listen, when he goes to his father, he will really ask for his life! ”
Zhao Mo opened the sedan curtain and glanced at Zhao Zhun's back, and couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "Dashuai was born and died for my Great Song Dynasty, and in the end he ended up like this...... King Zhou patted her shoulder and said: "Sister, don't be so pessimistic, isn't this king already thinking of a way out for you!" At that time, Zhao Zhun frankly admitted that he had lost the mistake of "Jianhua Benji", and his father would be furious. But what his father was angry about was not that he lost a book, but that he didn't know the depths. This king will take Zhao Zhun's achievements in Shu to the next level, and he will inevitably offset his military power. His father naturally spared him, and he naturally handed over military power. At that time, he will spread the fertile land, and from then on enjoy the days of peace and prosperity, and his sister will not suffer any sin when she marries, isn't it beautiful? ”
Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Brother Huang is still thinking about ......me," he said, coughing lightly and continuing, "I understand, you and your father and emperor joined hands to calculate our husband and wife, nothing more than for some power." No matter what, the father can do it to his own daughter, let alone the ...... of the horse" King Zhou smiled: "Look at you, you see, you want to deviate when you talk about it!" My father was afraid that you would worry too much, and the tiger poison would not eat children, wouldn't it? ”
Zhao Mo replied yes, and he already knew it in his heart: "What blood is thicker than water, what kind of family affection, in the face of power, has become something that can be discarded." Today you can be punished for the sake of military power, but tomorrow you can be killed for the sake of other powers. In the government and the opposition, the greater the power, the greater the risk. Rather than trembling and holding on to that bit of power for a while, it is better to live a life in a down-to-earth manner. After making up his mind, Zhao Mo stopped fighting.
After everyone left, Cui Zhixian lifted the martial law of Kuzen Temple. After the people here worshiped the three masters, they rarely stepped into the temple again, and the dry temple gradually became deserted. In the cave in the back mountain, a person is writing hard in front of the square table, and this person is Mingtong. I saw that all the body under his neck was burned by the fire and wrapped in gauze, except for his head. At this moment, he was writing on a piece of paper: "Where the military power is, it will be as it is." Where the military power goes, it will perish......" while writing, while reading in his mouth: "I am afraid that the world is about to change......"
As soon as the words fell, a person flew in from outside the cave, wearing Song soldiers' clothes, stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Master Mingtong......" Mingtong listened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The dry Zen Temple is gone, and Mingtong is gone." Call me sir! The soldier nodded, "Good!" Mr. Xu, something big happened in the palace! As he spoke, he took a few steps closer and continued, "According to the people in the palace, the Emperor of the Song State intends to remove Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun from their positions, is it going to start killing meritorious heroes?" ”
After hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded and said, "As expected, the emperor is going to concentrate military power!" The soldier shook his head and said, "However, the emperor promoted Shi Shouxin two days ago, is it just his blind legal person?" Mr. Xu said, "What you see is only the appearance. You come with me! With that, Mr. Xu took Song Bing to a wall and stood there, and a map hung on the wall. Mr. Xu couldn't raise his hand too high, so he picked up a wooden stick on the ground and pointed to the junction of the Song and Tang dynasties and said, "You see, now the Great Song Dynasty is only left with the Tang Kingdom. After destroying the Tang Kingdom, the emperor was considered to have unified China. In ancient times, there was a theory of Han Gaozu 'rabbit dead dog cooking', and now there is the Song Emperor's method of 'bird exhaustion bow hiding'. It is indeed reasonable for the emperor to follow the example of Han Gaozu. With that, Mr. Xu returned to the square table and sat down and continued, "You continue to lurk outside the palace, pay close attention to every move of the imperial court, and report back to me as soon as there is any news!" The Song soldiers led the order and retreated.
As soon as Song Bing left, another man in white clothes and white beard flew into the cave, laughing and said, "What, Master Mingtong is pointing out the country again?" Mr. Xu looked up and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Mr. Xiahou here?" Is it time to change the medicine again today? Mr. Xiahou walked behind him with a smile, put down the medicine box in his hand and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I'm the only one in this world who thinks about your burn!" As he spoke, he skillfully tore off the back gauze slowly and uncovered it little by little. The wound under the gauze still did not heal, and some of the flesh had gradually decayed, emitting a slight foul odor. Mr. Xiahou did not dislike it, and took out a short knife and burned it under the candle flame and said: "This party's divine fire is really powerful, ordinary burns should have scarred with my medicine, but your wound has not healed for a long time...... Bear with me! As he spoke, he extended the blade to the carrion part of Mr. Xu's back.
A piercing pain came to his heart, and Mr. Xu sweated instantly, but he insisted on gritting his teeth and stiffened up. Mr. Xiahou tore off the carrion piece by piece, wrapped it up, and left the red and black rotten blood on his back. Then, Mr. Xiahou wiped off the black blood and continued: "It's not that it's not difficult to heal, but I'm afraid it will take three times as long as ordinary burns," he said, sprinkling a handful ......of white powder on the wound and continued, "You said that you too, you can get out, why do you have to suffer from this?" Fortunately, Geng Yanchun went and returned at that time to rescue you from the fire, otherwise you would have burned into a wisp of green smoke, no! As he spoke, Mr. Xiahou had already bandaged his whole body.
"After re-taking the medicine, my body is really much refreshed!" Mr. Xu said with a smile, "I can't hide it, I really wanted to burn the jade of the Tibetan Scripture Building at that time!" However, I regretted it later, and now I think about it a little scared. I'm afraid I'll never see those lovely children again, and I won't see you old man! After hearing this, Mr. Xiahou snorted and said, "Do you still know that you are worried about me?" The jade is also burned...... Dying with a bunch of broken books is not the end you deserve! ”
Mr. Xu laughed and said, "Okay, let's not be poor!" Let's talk about it, how is that Han Xiaoyue? Mr. Xiahou said: "That Han Xiaoyue left Xingping County and went all the way east, the road was quite smooth, and that Situ Sheng was also his duty. In my opinion, it's really thanks to Ding Yuechan's girl, otherwise, Situ Sheng would really be dishonest! Mr. Xu listened and said, "Han Xiaoyue has now learned the moves of the Heavenly Oath Artifact. Although there is no internal force to support, if he really moves, Situ Sheng may not be able to defeat him. After all, after the gate, even if he is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, he must be a generation of heroes. ”
Mr. Xiahou smiled after hearing this: "What, are you still regretting your mistakes?" As he spoke, he sat down opposite him and continued, "Han Tao's death is not your fault, it is indeed his fate. You and I are both old, how long can we protect Han Xiaoyue? Mr. Xu sighed and said, "I think I've calculated someone for a lifetime, but when I die, I owe myself a life...... Fortunately, someone has been secretly following him......" he said, and whispered to himself, "Counting, he should already have three copies of the Sword Hua Benji by now!" ”
Even if Mr. Xu expected everything to happen, he didn't expect what happened to Han Xiaoyue in the Tang Kingdom and in Fangcaohui. For example:
Qingyue Youyouqu Weiyang,
The flowers are more fragrant after the solo garden.
The end times and wait for the heroes to come,
Silk embroidery stained the Fangcao River with blood.
