83. Fall

"Suxi, let's go back to Jiangnan!"

###

In the room, when Xi Yutang's resounding words fell, neither Yue Qingfeng nor Qiu Yuan reacted, and they still kept combing their hair and looked at her in a daze.

Realizing that Sect Leader Xi had something to say, Qiu Yuan let go of his hand and obediently stepped aside, while Yue Qingfeng put down a letter that he was still holding in his hand and turned to look at her, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Jiangnan?" ”

"It's too cold in here." Xi Yutang walked up to look at his eyebrows, and unexpectedly found some shadows under his eyes, and if he looked closely, even his face was unusually pale.

Too cold?

Yue Qingfeng glanced at her amusedly, "Say, what's the idea?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just cold." Xi Yutang pouted, "Now that Ouyang Xuan and Liu Manyun have returned to their respective homes, it is not interesting to stay here." ”

A few days ago, Jiang Qiantong asked someone to give Shaoguang a letter, saying that they had left the capital and returned to the Snow Palace, hoping to see Yunyun again. Shaoguang showed her the letter with a mocking face, and she was so angry that her liver hurt. Is that girl so good with Shaoguang? Isn't it just that we have been evacuated together for a few days in Hangzhou? Just taught swordsmanship and turned his head to ignore people, and deliberately did this, which really made people angry and helpless.

Yue Qingfeng laughed, then lowered his head and coughed again, as his body trembled, the waterfall of black hair slipped from his shoulders and scattered on his sideburns and chest, silky like satin, which made him add a touch of laziness and fragility for no reason.

Xi Yutang glanced lightly at the half-spread letter on the table, squinted, and looked at Qiu Yuan, who immediately brought a cup of tea. After taking the tea, seeing that Yue Qingfeng stopped, she handed it over casually, and she said casually, "How is it?" To go or not to go? ”

Coughing down with the help of tea, Yue Qingfeng eased down and raised his head, "Are you sure you want to go back to Jiangnan with me?" Not back to Snow Mountain? ”

"Then you have to agree with Ah Qi, right?" Xi Yutang lazily leaned on the table in front of him, and casually took a simple but precious hairpin on the table and played with it, "Besides, Jiangnan is close to the Medicine King Valley, and on the way there, you may be able to take a detour to the Snow Palace, and talk to my aunt, it is enough to calculate the time." We will go as much as possible, and when we arrive in Hangzhou, we may be able to catch up with the New Year's Festival. ”

Listening to what she meant, it seems that she has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now that she is here to discuss with him, it is better to say that she has decided. Yue Qingfeng followed her train of thought, and indeed couldn't find anything wrong, she was surprised in her heart, and her gaze at her became meaningful, and the words she wanted to ask turned around her mouth, "...... I'm afraid I'm going back to Gusu during the New Year's Festival. ”

Xi Yutang's hand kept moving, without looking at him, and said, "Then I don't know if the less the Lord is willing to entertain guests?" ”

“……”

This time, Yue Qingfeng really smiled. His eyes were bent into a crescent-like arc, and he smiled and reached out to take the hairpin out of her hand, his eyes lingered on her fingertips, and he had the urge to hold it in his hand, "Sect Master Xi, you seem to have made a request that I can't refute." ”

Xi Yutang's gaze fell on his long eyelashes, and he paused, "Then it's decided." ”

As he spoke, the man walked around behind him, and his claws stretched out to Xiao's long-thought long hair, "Your hair seems to be growing again?" Hmm, what does that letter say? I saw the word prince. ”

The topic changed without warning, and before Yue Qingfeng could react, a strand of hair on the back of his head was picked up. He was stunned, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but heat slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "You want to help me comb my hair?" ”

"Courtesy is still exchanged." Xi Yutang said vaguely.

Thinking of the incident of her hair in the carriage last time, a suspicious flush appeared on the pale face of the young master, and he chose to change the topic uncomfortably, "The letter is indeed news from the palace, cough, the weather is different this winter, it seems that there is a snow disaster in Lingnan, and today it is about to exercise the prince's heart." ”

"Disaster relief?" Xi Yutang immediately reacted, "Can you be strict?" Si Li had just returned to the palace to take on such an errand...... Is it difficult for someone? ”

"After all, the qualifications are too shallow, not enough to convince the public." Yue Qingfeng coughed lightly, "But that one may prefer to give His Highness a credit." If this is done well, it will also be good for him to gain a firm foothold in the DPRK. ”

Xi Yutang was silent for a moment, but the movement of braiding his hand did not stop, "I'm a little curious, solemn, do you know if you are involved with Zhuo Zhengyang today?" The second half of the primordial will be found in the former queen's cold palace, which I can't afford to think about too much. Emperor Yanping's attention to Si Li is obvious to all, but if it is ......"

She didn't finish her words, but the more Qingfeng understood the meaning. He rarely pondered for a long time without saying a word, and he couldn't decide about it.

"Alright." After a long time, Xi Yutang's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the thoughts of the young master, and before he could raise his head, he heard her say, "...... Su Xi is really good-looking, well, I'll go find my brother first. ”

Before the words fell, the man ran away.

Yue Qingfeng came back to his senses after realizing it, and only then did he find the two braids lying quietly on his shoulders from the bronze mirror, and he was so angry that his chest hurt.

Behind him, Qiu Yuan had already held back his laughter to the point of internal injury, and suddenly met the dark and deep eyes of his young master, the whole person was excited, and hurriedly opened his eyes and quickly came up, "Master, comb again?" ”

…… Nonsense!

Yue Qingfeng glared at him angrily through the bronze mirror.

……

The date of returning to Jiangnan was soon set.

Xi Yulan heard that her sister went to find Yue Qingfeng single-handedly, and thought that she was going to have a showdown, but who knew that she was going south, and she couldn't help but laugh. It seems that she not only listened to her words, but also made her own decision-since she said that she would go back to Jiangnan, she would naturally not mention the matter of 'Yue Qingfeng is not allowed to participate in the Medicine King Valley', but planned to take the second path. Although it is cold in the south of the Yangtze River in winter, on the territory of the Yue family, there are good things, but they are more open than in the capital, and with Shen Qi by his side, it is more suitable for recuperation than in the capital.

It just so happened that he also had to go back to the Tingyu Pavilion headquarters in Qinggu, which also saved him the pain of being separated from his sister.

The people of Xuantian have always obeyed the words of their sect master, and even Shen Qi only hesitated for a moment when he heard that Xi Yutang was going south. Although the warm jade room is good, it is not necessary, the four fireweeds in his hand, both horizontally and vertically, can allow Xi Yutang to survive this winter. The only thing that is not at ease is Si Li in the palace, in the first year of returning to the palace, there is no Xi Yutang and no people in the snow mountain around him, and I don't know if he will feel sad.

Xi Yutang was also thinking about the same thing as Shen Qi.

This winter, since the first snow fell more than ten days ago, it has been snowing intermittently, and since he knew that Si Li might have to go to Lingnan in person, Xi Yutang has been hesitating to see him in his heart.

In fact, on the day of the sacrifice at the gate of the other courtyard, they had already said goodbye, they had done everything they could, and everything they could say was finished. I only hope that from now on, Si Li can carry the darkness of the road ahead alone, and I hope that she will never receive a request for help from His Royal Highness the Prince of Dajin.

However, having said that, on the day before leaving, Xi Yutang still asked someone to send something to Si Li. There are the poison-making things he needs, as well as the various pills prepared by Shen Qi, as well as a martial arts secret book that Xi Yutang silently wrote down that is suitable for Si Li's cultivation, as well as most of the semi-secret weapons collected from the remnants of the Tang family.

He has the identity certificate of Xuantian Right Protector, and if he really wants to go to Lingnan, he can also use this to mobilize people to help when he has to.

is so intimate, so that the more Qingfeng who was asked to send things has a lot of emotion.

Different from the route when they came to the capital, they needed to spend most of the journey in a carriage, and they would only consider taking a boat after crossing the border of Jiaodong. Fortunately, although there has been snow in the past few days, a large section of the river near Jiangnan has not been blocked, otherwise if it is all by horse-drawn carriage, in this harsh winter snowy day, if you want to return to Jiangnan, you will have to walk for at least several months.

They walked quietly and quietly, without informing anyone, and when Miyanaka Sili received the package, Xi Yutang and the others had already left the Gyeonggi area. Yue Qingfeng sold Si Li's favor in the face of his sweetheart, and the chamberlain who delivered the package was originally the Yue family, but now he has shown his face in front of the prince, and he has been used by him since then.

Seeing the contents of the package, the young prince's eyes were red as if they were bloodshot, and he hurriedly begged for a grace to leave the palace, and galloped all the way, but he was still one step too late. Looking at the empty Yue family courtyard in front of him, where only a few servants remained, Si Li's finger knuckles holding the reins turned white, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Behind him, Wei Han, who was escorted out of the palace by the order of Emperor Yanping, also had a blue face, and when he thought of Xi Yutang leaving quietly like this, he didn't even let out a little wind, and the anger in his heart was like a wildfire burning the plain, and he rushed to Tianlinggai in an instant!

Damn it!

The six princes returned to the palace, the royal family sacrificed to the sky, the position of the East Palace was decided, and something that should be caught off guard came down, as the fifth prince's party, Wei Han has been so busy recently that his feet don't touch the ground, and he almost didn't even have time to close his eyes, originally thinking that it would snow heavily, Si Li was once the right protector of Xuantian, no matter what, Xi Yutang would at least wait for the New Year to pass before choosing to leave, and he himself would go to her immediately after this period of time. But after thousands of calculations, she didn't count her decisive temperament, and she could use it on her own people without hesitation!

Didn't she save and raise the crown prince?

Can you really be willing to leave it like this?

He swore that he would not let go, that he would go looking for her, but in the end, she didn't pay attention to it at all!

Damn it!

…… Xi, jade, tang!

Wait and see, you and I will meet again!

###

At that time, Sect Leader Xi didn't know how much shadow her departure had left on Si Li and Wei Han, after they left Gyeonggi, they went straight to the Jiaodong territory, but they didn't go too smoothly.

Without him, the snow was too heavy.

It took nearly ten days longer than expected to arrive at the port, and it was already the middle of the month. Everyone abandoned the car and got on the boat, and they were all fully prepared to prevent Xi Yutang from getting seasick, but who knows, it became Yue Qingfeng who fell first.

Looking at the handsome young man who was unconscious on the bed, Xi Yutang didn't even care about seasickness, and came to the room with a look of food, waiting for Shen Qi with his brother and others. The latter had just finished diagnosing his pulse, and with a grim expression, he bowed his head and wrote a prescription and handed it to Qiu Yuan. Qiu Yuandang ran to the fully prepared pharmacy on the ship, grabbed the medicine and decoction.

"How?" Xi Yulan spoke nervously.

"Not so good." Shen Qi got up and took the hot tea handed by Shaoguang, "Let's go out and talk." ”

Several people came out of the inner room, and Shen Qi roughly told the two of them about his diagnosis. Yue Qingfeng was already weak, and he had been overly worried recently, and his mood was uneasy, coupled with the bad weather, which undoubtedly affected his illness. But more importantly, part of the reason for this coma is his martial arts.

"Martial arts?" Xi Yutang frowned, "It shouldn't be, the solemn exercises are no problem." ”

"It's not what you think." Shen Qi had a calm face. As Yue Qingfeng's attending doctor for many years, he knows this patient too well, "I told him when I was in Luoyang that if you want your condition not to get worse, it's best not to practice martial arts anymore, and don't use martial arts lightly. But our young master is really capable, but in just two months in the capital, his martial arts have taken another step, and if I guessed correctly, he has just broken through in the last two days. ”

This kind of patient who does not follow the doctor's instructions is the most difficult!

The more Shen Qi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but slap a few cases around him.

"The junior brother broke through this matter...... I know, I congratulated him. Xi Yulan was stunned, "But I don't know Dr. Shen's medical advice......"

Xi Yutang glanced at his brother in surprise, and saw that he was also surprised that he never expected, his heart was irritable, coupled with seasickness, his chest was very tight, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his head back, "What now?" When will he wake up? ”

"Three days later, the needle will be applied, and then it will be seen." Shen Qidao.

"Got it......," she said tiredly, "you keep watch over him, and when he wakes up, someone will say something, and I'll talk to him." Brother, let's go first. ”

Xi Yulan knew that she had something to say, sighed, got up, and half-squatted, "Brother carries you, your face is bloodless, don't force it." ”

Xi Yutang was stunned, moved his lips, didn't say anything, but obediently climbed onto his brother's broad but somewhat thin back.

The two walked all the way out, Xi Yutang leaned on his shoulder with his eyes closed, and said softly, "Brother, is Su Xi's martial arts the same as yours?" ”

"It's different." Xi Yutang walked steadily, trying not to bump the people on his body, "After the master saved his junior brother back then, he once said that his illness only had a glimmer of life, and if he wanted to have enough time to find the Su Jiu Needle Formula, he first had to make himself strong and survive. The exercises taught by Master seem to have a certain life-sustaining effect, otherwise how do you think he can survive until now? ”

"Then why did you fall unconscious?"

"Hmm...... Maybe he was too eager. ”

"How?"

Xi Yulan pondered for a moment, as if organizing the language, "How to say it, although Su Xi's exercises have a certain ability to continue his life, but his illness has accumulated over time and cannot be completely cured, it will naturally become stricter and stricter, Shen Qi's medical skills are famous all over the world, and they can only delay him for a moment or two." Now that the burden on his body is getting heavier and heavier, every time he breaks through a layer, he has to give his body a process of adaptation, and when he adapts well, his lifespan will naturally be longer. To put it bluntly, it is actually a tug-of-war between the exercises and the disease, if you are stronger, I will be weaker, but whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or vice versa, there must be a process of suppression and counterattack. He didn't wait for this fight to end, and then broke through again. ”

"......" Xi Yutang struggled to digest these words, and said after a while, "I remember that not long after I arrived in the capital, there was a big fight between me and Wei Han, and the more solemn and one move separated us, he should have just broken through at that time?" ”

"Hmm." The silver-haired young man responded, "If it weren't for Dr. Shen's explanation, I wouldn't have guessed this." Su Xi has only been more than a month since his last breakthrough, and his body can't bear it, so the coma makes sense. ”

……

Carrying the person all the way to the flower hall, Xi Yulan put the person down, saw that her sister was still pensive, thought about it, and couldn't help but speak, "Tangtang, if you say...... We can't find the second half of the vegetarian nine-needle duel, what should we do? ”

Xi Yutang slowly came back to his senses, "Can't find it?" ”

She was bound to win the second half of the Su Jiu Needle Decision, and she never thought that she couldn't find this possibility. Except for Yue Qingfeng's illness, she has not forgotten the person in front of her, although her legs have recovered to normal, and most of her martial arts have returned, but Shen Qi once said that he had been abolished and tortured for a long time. If you want to completely avoid the root of the disease, and completely restore Xi Yulan's martial arts to the same as before, or even go further, maybe Su Jiu Needle can find the method she needs in the second half of the decision.

Moreover......

Taichu Chu Method......

"There won't be such a possibility, Su Jiu will be mine sooner or later." She shook her head.

She spoke casually, but as firm as iron, as if a promise came out of her mouth, no matter how big or small, it must be fulfilled one day.

This is due to strength, but also due to character.

Xi Yulan smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, my Xi family should be like this, my sister and father are really getting more and more alike." ”

Xi Yutang glanced at him angrily, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

……

Ten days passed slowly, and at the end of the month, the big ship docked at Hangzhou Port.

Yue Qingfeng had just woken up two days ago, but he fell into a coma again after waking up for less than an hour, and he only had time to eat some rice porridge in the meantime, and he didn't even say a word. Xi Yutang was really worried, got off the boat, and decided to go back to Yanyutai first.

No matter what, as the leader of the Xuantian Sect and the master of the Tingyu Pavilion, the brothers and sisters of the Xi family can't take the unconscious young master of the Yue family to the Gusu Yue family directly, and say something like 'We want to stay in your house for the New Year', right?

…… It's not necessarily going to be beaten!

Qiu Yuan Si Nian and the others are also in favor of returning to Yanyutai first, the situation of Yue Qingfeng is really not suitable for hurrying, now people have been sober once, according to Shen Qi's words, they will soon be able to fully sober up.

When they arrived at Yanyutai and settled everyone, the Xi brothers and sisters went out one after another.

The former went to Qinggu to listen to the rain pavilion, and the latter quietly went out of the city and headed in the direction of the Snow Palace-she wanted to take advantage of the fact that her brother and Yue Qingfeng had no time to take care of her, and do something to kill people and set fires.

- Give her Aunt Liu Manyun a gift.
