Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Infatuation of Fists and Boxing (2)
He shouted in humiliation, pulled out the last short knife from the shelf beside him and threw it at her, Chu Yunxi skillfully wrapped the tassel on the handle with the tip of the sword, and circled it in the air a few times, and shot suddenly, the short knife broke through the air, and the tough blade slashed across the top of his head like a meteor, the hair crown shattered in response, his hair was scattered, and a few strands of crimson blood dripped from the top of his head, like a hellish Shura!
Chu Yunxi stopped in front of him, waved his sword and pointed at it, not half arrogant and pleasant, but said to him calmly: "Gu Gongzi promises, please keep your promise." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Gu Chaomin held his head high, his scattered hair added a bit of femininity to his resolute face, he wiped the blood from his forehead, and asked knowingly, "Really?" With that, his eyes glanced at the door, misleading her into thinking that there was an ambush behind him, and as he looked back, he took the opportunity to raise his hand.
Qing Chun screamed in a muffled voice, Chu Yunxi tilted her head, and a blood-stained red lotus bead hairpin flew over her shoulder, falling to the ground, and the petals withered, just like a thin life.
Gu Chaomin moved a few times, jumped to Qing Chun's side, and grabbed her neck.
Chu Yunxi frowned and shouted, "Despicable! ”
Gu Chaomin looked up to the sky and smiled, as if he was crazy: "As long as Qingxu is in my hands, you won't win." ”
Qing Chun, who was bound to the ground and couldn't move her hands and feet, wanted to die in front of him, she stared at him, and she really hated that she had no eyes.
At this moment, Chu Yunxi also complained in his heart that he was blind and blind. She would like to think that although Gu Chaomin is extreme, withdrawn and arrogant, as a man, how can he not have some dignity and backbone, but now it seems that she really overestimates the other party, he is actually a villain.
She approached the front, and Gu Chaomin shouted, "Don't move!" While he hated Chu Yunxi, his mouth was close to Qing Chun's ears, his mouth moved a few times, Qing Chun's eyes first widened in horror at him, and then Chu Chu looked back at her pitifully.
didn't know that he was scheming again, she hurriedly shouted: "Gu Chaomin, you are also a child of a family, why are you so cheating and have no integrity at all?" A gentleman is full of words, how can you go back on your word and hurt people's lives. ”
Gu Chaomin's smile was hypocritical and cold: "Haha, it's ridiculous that you deceived me and asked me to keep my promise." Again. He dragged out his voice, stroked Qing Ulva's cheek, and continued: "You keep asking me to release the Ulva, Zi Fei knows the joy of fish, how do you know that Qing Ulva is not voluntarily staying with me?" ”
The Ulva statue was stung by a wasp and her body shook.
"Foolish dreams." first tortured Qing Lun, and then used Qing Ulva's life to lure her here, and now he actually said that everything was Qing Ulva's voluntary cooperation, Chu Yunxi couldn't find his logic.
Gu Chaomin tore off the black cloth behind Qing Chun's head: "You don't believe it, you can ask her yourself!" ”
Qing Chun looked at her painfully, crying in a panic, as if she had a thousand pounds of heavy stones in her mouth, and opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
Chu Yunxi was extremely angry, glared at Gu Chaomin angrily, waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, you coerce each other with our lives and play with us in the palm of your hand." She turned to Qing Chun and said, "Don't be at the mercy of him, it's a big deal that I will fight with him!" ”
Gu Chaomin smiled and said, "Are you so sure that this is not a bitter plan set up by me and Qing Chun?" ”
Chu Yunxi was not moved by his discord in the slightest, and he didn't need to think about it at all to know that his lies were full of loopholes. She and Qing Chun have been sisters for ten years, they depend on each other for their lives, and they have a deep relationship, she has no reason to harm herself, not to mention that if Qing Chun really intended to harm each other, she would not hand Shi Jiaheng that life-saving note, Gu Chaomin still doesn't know that she is a daughter, and she doesn't know that she is the prime minister's youngest daughter, which is also thanks to Qing Chun's tight-lipped mouth. And that night assassination must have been just because Gu Chaomin happened to meet her in the palace and secretly handed over a love letter, and Qing Chun happened to learn the fact that he wanted to assassinate her. In fact, she never doubted Qinghua's loyalty.
"Master." Qing Chun opened her mouth with great difficulty: "I'm sorry! ”
Chu Yunxi was stunned. She burst into tears and said, "Actually, all of this is because Qing Chun likes Gu Gongzi too much. I shouldn't have come to him again and again, hoping to stay with him. But I'm really sincere to him. ”
Gu Chaomin suddenly changed his expression, his face was happy, he gently hugged Qing Chun's shoulder, and said loudly: "Okay!" You are so affectionate to me, I naturally will not treat you badly. ”
He was full of spring breeze, and said to Chu Yunxi with joy and pride: "Since Qingchun is infatuated with me, what if I marry her." If Qingchun marries me, we can be regarded as relatives, as long as you keep to yourself in the future, I will naturally take good care of your relative, I am not to blame for the past, just do nothing that happened! ”
Having said that, she was not confused in her heart, and Qing Chun was there to save her. She sighed: "At this point, life and death are no longer necessary, you don't have to say such things for me." ”
Qing Chun exclaimed eagerly, "But I don't want to die!" I'm not a wife or a mother, I'm not over twenty years old, why should I die! I thought that I could live a better life with my master and wife, but I still inevitably wandered around, when Mrs. saved you, you should accept your fate and live the second half of your life with peace of mind, why do you want to come to Chang'an and get involved in this senseless dispute. Nothing but exhaustion and death, what else do you think you can accomplish with you? ”
These words stung Chu Yunxi deeply.
"If I can marry Gu Gongzi, not only will Qin Se and Ming be able to save your life from now on, the best of both worlds, why do we have to die here!"
Her composure was finally disrupted, and she thought she could cover up her guilt with death retribution, but she was wrong. Qing Chun's words tore her guilt, if she hadn't insisted on going her own way, Qing Chun and they wouldn't have to live such a fearful life with her, and she would have died at any time, she was most afraid of owing something to others in her life, but she owed a lot, her hands began to tremble, and her sober mind no longer obeyed.
Qing Chun continued to speak, and the last bit of reason she had left forced her to shout, "Were you forced? Answer me! ”
For a long time, Qing Chun turned her head and sobbed, her face was gloomy, and she didn't say a word.
Chu Yunxi seemed to have been poured cold water in the depths of winter, and his agitated expression retreated into indifference again.
She was confused, she had witnessed her mother trapped all her life because of love, how could she conclude that her weight in Qing Chun's heart would exceed Gu Chaomin's, the dilemma of love and righteousness, Qing Chun just chose love in the end, what is she to blame?
She slowly put her sword away, unwilling to force anyone. She always respects people's wishes first, and it is also her wish to see them have a lifelong dependency before she dies. But Gu Chaomin's character is despicable, and he is not a beloved who can be entrusted for life!
She stared at his serpent-like cold smile, and said heavily: "I won't agree to you forcing you to marry by such unscrupulous means!" ”
Before Gu Chaomin could respond, Qing Chun was in pain and devastating her liver and lungs, tears welled up, and she begged: "Master, I can't help it, I can't help but be the master of this heart." Promise him, so that you can save your life and mine, and let me get what I want, why do you have to fight to the death, and pay for it with your life? Master, if you could have let go of your obsession and lived in the south with peace of mind, how could you have come to do today? But you have your obsessions, and I have my obsessions. If I can't stop you, why should you stop me? ”
She gently glanced at Gu Chaomin, whose face was as hideous as a ghost, and said with a smile: "Even if he is not good in a thousand ways, he is still the love of my life." Master, you don't understand, but I hope you never understand. ”
Chu Yunxi only felt a breath of sullen breath in her chest swelled violently, and she was inextricably entangled and sunk in the whirlpool of contradictions between reason and emotion, and pain and entanglement twisted a series of nicks on her brow. But her pain and suffering brought Gu Chaomin strong pleasure and pleasure, and his self-esteem and revenge were unprecedentedly satisfied.
She took two steps back, shook her head and gritted her teeth to return the sword to its scabbard, and sighed helplessly, "Well, I will fulfill you." It's just that you have to remember that you choose what you choose on the road, and it's up to you to be good or bad. Don't regret your decision today! ”
Qing Chun looked back at her, staring at her for a long time, and her eyes also showed a resolute look: "Never regret it!" ”
Gu Chaomin released Qing Chun and Chu Yunxi, and specially sent a group of guards to escort them home, in the name of being driven by the two of them to protect their safety, but in fact, it was to monitor and prevent them from escaping. As soon as they returned to the dilapidated courtyard, the guards scattered in an orderly manner, enclosing the courtyard tightly.
At noon the next day, Biyin and Luyan also came to the door. The four of them were back together. Seeing that Chu Yunxi had not returned, the two went to the street at dawn to look for it, and searched for a while like a headless fly, and they had no choice but to beg for the only life-saving straw in the capital, Shi Jiaheng and Shi Gongzi. But when I entered the backyard of Shi's mansion and inquired, I learned that Shi Jiaheng had gone to Luoyang to welcome the prince back to the court these days, and it was strange that Chu Yunxi didn't see him come to visit him when he was injured. After they left a few important words for the guards of Shifu, they passed by this alley, and wanted to take a look at it, first, they had lived for a long time, and they were reluctant to give up, and second, they wanted to try their luck and see if the master was not inside.
The two blind cats ran into dead rats and found the right place. Chu Yunxi asked the guards to let them in, and the door between the two was heavily guarded, and he was puzzled. She gave a rough account of the cause and effect, and both of them were indignant.
Because it is a concubine, and the two already know each other, they will save money and ask for names, but the other etiquette should be comprehensive and grand. Gu Fu Xuancheng married the distant cousin of the Hanlin Academy's calligraphy and painting to be Zhao Chu Changgeng. When Shi Jiaheng was leaving, she had already thought of giving her a long leave in the hospital, and there were rumors in the courtyard that Chu Changgeng was going home to get married.
Five days later, a matchmaker came to Najib with wild geese, and the bride price was even richer, filling the entire courtyard. The matchmaker smiled and said that the daughter of the Chu family was really blessed, and it was a blessing from the tenth generation to be able to marry into the Gu family. She chattered happily, her words full of envy for the Chu family and praise for the Gu family. Chu Yunxi just nodded lightly, and occasionally said a few words out of politeness, without much expression.
But this made Biyin and Lu Yan even more angry! Waiting for everyone to disperse, Chu Yunxi did not stop Biyin, she ran to Qing Chun and accused her, Lu Yan, who had always been cautious, was annoyed in her heart but did not echo it, she asked in a low voice, wanting to ask Qing Chun if she had any troubles.
Qing Chun has been calmly opening the jewelry sent by Gu Fu one by one to appreciate it, and replied without saltiness in her mouth: "The bitterness is that I have had enough of this kind of frightened and scared days. If it weren't for the master's incompetence, why would we be like this, she wanted to expose the prime minister's crimes, this is a big joke. Even if the prime minister forced his wife to death, his husband's husband was still her father, and if she killed her father, she would definitely have a troubled conscience, and she would be charged with unfilial piety, and would be pointed out by all people; If the prime minister's crime is to sin the nine clans, she will not only kill herself, but also those innocent Chu clansmen, how will she see the ancestors of the Chu family after she dies? Besides, how many women in the world have died at the hands of their husbands, such as my mother, and I have not seen their children crying out all day long to avenge them! ”
Chu Yunxi stood quietly by the door, listening to Qing Chun's cold words, his heart was like a knife: I don't understand what you said, but if I don't go through this, how can I know that there is a huge grievance hidden here.
Although the four of them still lived in the same courtyard as before, the four of them still automatically lived in two separate rooms, Qing Chun alone occupied the inner room where the original three of them lived, while Biyin and Lu Yan automatically crowded together with Chu Yunxi.
There was silence at night, and only the whispering in the room could be heard. Bi Yin emotionally counted all kinds of wrongs in Qingyi, and Lu Yan sighed with a wail, regretting that she shouldn't have taken in this white-eyed wolf in the first place. Chu Yunxi was alone in a corner of the house, supporting himself with one hand, looking at the candle flame in a daze. As the two talked, the topic shifted from Ulva to how to escape. The courtyard is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is almost whimsical for the three of them to escape alone, and Biyin, who thinks she is smart, immediately thinks of asking for foreign aid, and Shi Gongzi can still go to Miss Lin if she is not there. But Chu Yunxi resolutely disagreed, God knows that this is not a trap made by Gu Chaomin with her as bait, the Gu family's eldest young master's concubine is also a happy event in the capital, and it will definitely make the whole city know, what she is worried about now is not how to let Lin Yueyuan and Shi Jiaheng know the news that they are trapped, on the contrary, how to remind them that this may be a trap, don't act rashly to come to the rescue!
Their various proposals were rejected one by one. After being rejected several times in a row, it wilted like a frosted eggplant. Seeing that time passed little by little, and another night passed, Biyin was really sleepy, lying on the table and falling asleep, not forgetting to shout the names of various snacks in her sleep. Lu Yan looked at the haggard and inhuman-shaped Chu Yunxi, and her heart was even more mixed, she got up and persuaded a few words, and went to the kitchen to make some rice porridge, took a plate of pickled melon, and when she passed by Qing Ying's room, she saw that the lights in the house were dim, and she thought that the people in the house had not slept all night.
The date was finally set for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Life was a good day, but the three of them couldn't be happy.
Qing Chun locked herself in her room all day and closed the door, and Lu Yan and Bi Yin also deliberately avoided it. Chu Yunxi was even more groggy all day long, either sleeping or in a daze, and everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding not to touch the pain in their hearts. Chu Yunxi hoped that the days would pass slowly and longer, so that she could quietly take a few more glances at the acacia tree in the yard and the lotus in the fish tank. But Biyin hoped that the days would pass faster, so that she could quickly send away the plague god in the house.
With a brand-new blood-soaked red lotus hairpin specially created for her inserted into the black bun of the green flowers, she completed the final makeup of the bride, she looked in the mirror for a long time, smiled and smiled, and a little tears overflowed, like crystal pearls.
According to custom, the groom always comes to pick up his relatives in the evening, but it is unreasonable to let the eldest prince Gu ride a tall horse to this dilapidated courtyard to pick up a concubine. So Gu Gongzi ordered Chu Changgeng to personally escort the bride all the way into the gate of the Gu family.
Chu Yunxi was extremely reluctant to attend the wedding of the two, let alone send off relatives. But there are no conditions to negotiate with Gu Gongzi. Before getting into the sedan chair, Qing Chun wore a fiery red wedding dress and a golden bridal crown to happily distribute the wedding wine to the guards and everyone who came to greet her. The crowd did not dare to make a mistake, but only drank a bowl symbolically. However, this bowl of wedding wine did not reach the hands of Chu Yunxi and the others.
The red wedding dress was reflected in everyone's eyes, like the residual red of weeping blood and the sunset sinking in the west. Today's Qingchun is quite unbridled and indulgent, as if the beauty that has been accumulated for many years will be released at the moment when it turns into a butterfly.
In the cheers and congratulations of everyone, Qing Chun got on the bride's float, and the two girls in the wedding procession put a large package into the sedan chair, which was filled with the makeup she regarded as her life, so she must be closely watched. Chu Yunxi, who was still in a wandering daze, turned over and got on the horse under the constant urging of the guards, and many children were crowded into the alley to watch the excitement, and Lu Yan and Biyin, who followed behind the sedan chair, distributed happy money and candy to Daohe's neighbors.
When the horse's hooves made the first crisp sound, the noisy sound of firecrackers rang out, roaring through the entire Chang'an City like a mountain rain about to come.
