61 The pain of the skin

The person waiting in this carriage early in the morning was Xiao Qing's third son, King Gong Xiao Chengli. pbtxt.

As for why he did not return to Lingnan, but appeared at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it is unknown.

Xiao Yu shook the sleeves of his robe, and there was an extra key with a strange structure in his hand.

Xiao Chengli took the key, looked carefully at the sun, and laughed proudly: "Fourth, I promise, that day will come soon." ”

Xiao Yu only asked indifferently: "How fast is the third brother talking about it, three years or five years?" ”

Xiao Chengli put away his smile, and his expression became sharp and treacherous: "I didn't expect you to be more anxious than me." ”

Xiao Yu's eyes were still unwavering: "I chose to stand on your side, third brother, because I hated the emperor all my life." The third brother can help me relieve the hatred in my heart, and I am really grateful. You can also see that Tang Bufu is the father of my beloved woman, but I can even cut off his head, which is enough to prove that I have cut off my own way of retreat and have plans to break the boat. Unfortunately, I don't have much time left, and I don't know how long I can last until I can make it. So, of course, I hope to see the results that you foresaw as soon as possible, Third Brother. ”

Xiao Chengli confidently hooked the corners of his lips: "Fourth, don't worry." Within two years – no, one year. Within a year, every word I ever said to you would become a reality. ”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes faintly, and a flash of brilliance quietly flashed in his eyes: "Third brother, I believe you." I'll help you do whatever you ask me to do this year. ”

The road from Shu to the capital is very long, and the road that people often take is roughly divided into two types: water and land.

The land route is the road taken by Tang Ai when he returned home, from Sichuan to Shaanxi, then through Shanxi, and finally into Hebei, you can go directly to Beijing.

If you take the waterway, you have to go down the Yangtze River to Hubei, and then turn to Henan. Compared with the land route, the waterway is much longer, but the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River has countless beautiful scenery, and most people who simply go out to travel will choose to take the waterway to feel the beautiful scenery along the way.

Tang Ai expected that Xiao Yu and Lan Ya should choose a convenient and fast land route, so they galloped all the way, without eating or sleeping, just to catch up with Xiao Yu as quickly as possible.

Not long ago, Xiao Yu's identity in Tang Ai's heart changed, and he became heinous and lost his conscience.

His voice and smile were engraved in Tang Ai's mind, but this made Tang Ai suffer all the time.

Every time she thought that Xiao Yu had become her father-killing enemy, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

It felt like someone was carrying her head and smashing it on the door frame for more than a dozen times, but the skull was shattered, but it was still wrapped in the scalp, and life was worse than death. Tang Ai didn't know how much she hoped that someone would cut off her head and give her a good time.

But she couldn't die. She had to find Xiao Yu, no matter what, she wanted an explanation.

For the sake of convenience, Tang Ai changed back into men's clothes early in the morning, and even on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she spent it in a hurry with the stars and the moon.

On this day, Tang Ai rushed to Xi'an City.

The little girl on the street saw a handsome young man with a frown and a worried face, and of course she couldn't bear to take a few more looks. Tang Ai deliberately avoided the eyes of the young ladies, but he saw two small figures by surprise.

There are not many coincidences in the world, but Tang Ai can always bump into one or two things-the two little cubs happened to appear on the street of Xi'an City at this time.

Tang Ai aimed at the two of them at a glance, one leaped through the crowd, and when he was not too big or too small to be defenseless, he picked up the collar of one person with one hand.

The two little cubs saw Tang Ai, and their jaws fell directly to the ground.

Tang Ai's eyes flashed, and he didn't say a word of superfluous nonsense, and he slugged the two of them all the way to a small alley where no one was.

She looked at the two little children, their faces were tense, and their eyes were so red that they were horrified, and then she asked, "Where is Xiao Yu?" ”

When the two of them saw this battle, they were so frightened that they couldn't stand steadily, so they almost knelt down and hugged Tang Ai's thigh and shouted for mercy: "Childe is gone...... We don't know where he went......"

"Don't know?" Tang Ai's eyes were full of flames, and his fists brushed the ground against the two of them's Heavenly Spirit Cover and flew towards the wall, and he actually punched a big hole in the wall, "Tell me, where is he?!" ”

"Woo wow wow, we also want to know where Childe has gone, and we also want Childe to come back!" The two of them cried in the blink of an eye.

While crying, he wiped his head: "Hey, why is it raining?" No, why is this rain still red......"

He couldn't be blamed for that, because the bright red water droplets were smashing against the door of his brain.

Bright red water beads are blood and not water.

Blood beads rolled down Tang Ai's hands. pbtxt.

Tang Ai's punch just now killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 self-inflicted.

The fangs of the wall scraped her hands to blood, and her hands were stuck in the holes, unaware of the pain.

The real pain was in her heart.

"Miss Tang, these two boys really don't know anything, you can't embarrass them." A female voice suddenly sounded from behind Tang Ai.

The cold voice is Lan Ya when you hear it.

As soon as Tang Ai turned around, he saw Lan Ya approaching step by step.

"So you're here, so I don't have to waste any effort." Tang Ai stared at Lan Ya, "Tell me where Xiao Yu is!" ”

She didn't stop talking, and the two of them had already taken advantage of her turning head, quickly slipped away from her feet, and hid behind Lan Ya for a breath.

Lan Ya's eyes were like ice, Tang Ai's eyes were like fire, and the eyes of the two people met in mid-air, as if an invisible electric light had been aroused.

"Miss Tang, I have heard about Master Tang, people cannot be resurrected after death, please mourn. I'm going to take the two of them back to the capital right now, but we really don't know where Xiao Yu went. Lan Ya said.

"I don't believe it!" Tang Ai roared hoarsely.

"Believe it or not?" Lan Ya took the hands of the two little ones, turned around and left.

"Don't go!" Tang Ai raised his shadow in the air and landed in front of Lan Ya, spreading his arms in a pair of threes.

So, at this moment, the scene in the alley is like an eagle catching a chicken.

Hiding behind Lan Ya, his face full of tears, looking at each other.

It's not big: "It's not small, Childe said that he did something sorry for Tang Ai, and he didn't want to face Tang Ai, Tang Ai shouldn't have found it for this...... What the hell did Childe and Childe do! ”

It's not a small "huh": "Listening to what Sister Lanya meant just now, it seems to be related to Tang Ai's father...... Oh, if you ask me, I, I can't tell ......."

Lan Ya glanced at Tang Ai's bleeding hand, seemed to be slightly moved, her eyes were pale, and she walked towards Tang Ai instead: "Miss Tang, your hand is bleeding, I'll help you stop the bleeding first." ”

She took out the gold sore medicine from the small box she was carrying, and then went to grab Tang Ai's hand.

Tang Ai was surprised for a while, and only then did he notice the sharp pain in his hand. She was about to withdraw her hand, but Lan Ya had already grabbed her wrist and sprinkled the powder on the wound. The big mouth that was still bleeding touched the medicinal powder, and Tang Ai felt a pain in his heart again.

"The wound is too deep to be left alone." Lan Ya lowered her eyes and said, "We have stayed in an inn in this city today, you go back with me, and I will sew you stitches." ”

"You ......" Tang Ai's throat choked.

"Don't worry, I don't know martial arts, and I can't hurt you."

The inn where Lan Ya and the two of them stayed was not far from the alley, Tang Ai followed the house hesitantly, and saw that there was a big box on the table, which was several times larger than the one Lan Ya had brought with him.

Lan Ya cleaned her hands, then took out the silver needle in the big box and threaded the needle.

She glanced at Tang Ai, and poured out some liquid from a small jar: "Don't be afraid, it's just anesthetic." Put it on your hand and wait for the stitches and you won't be in pain. ”

This anesthetic really had a miraculous effect, Tang Ai only felt a touch of coolness on the back of his hand when the medicine was just applied, and before the time to catch his breath had passed, his right hand was already unconscious.

Lan Ya didn't hide it, and sewed Tang Ai's skin and flesh in front of Tang Ai.

Tang Ai watched the needle and thread pass through his hand, but he didn't feel it at all, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"The power of this anesthetic will last for two or three hours, and you may feel pain after that, but it's not unbearable." Lan Ya meticulously stitched her, put ointment on Tang Ai, and wrapped it in a white cloth belt, "By the way, I'll say one more thing, I'm afraid you're going to have a scar on your hand." ”

Tang Ai subconsciously covered her right hand with her left hand, she didn't mind being injured or scarred, she only wanted to get Xiao Yu's news from Lan Ya. When the news arrived, she left immediately.

Lan Ya seemed to see through Tang Ai's thoughts, and began to pack the medicine box expressionlessly, and the words she said were not what Tang Ai wanted to hear at all.

She said: "The hand is a person's second face, even if you are wearing men's clothes, you are still a girl after all, and you have a scar on your hand, which is always not good-looking." Don't you have a scar on your leg, and I'm going to get you a piece of it. ”

"Thank you, but I don't need to." Tang Ai didn't understand why Lan Ya was suddenly so kind to herself.

She tightened her eyebrows, her eyes were foggy, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Even if you don't tell Xiao Yu's whereabouts, I still have to go to him." My grudge with him must be settled. ”

"I'll say it one last time, I don't know where Xiao Yu is. Yes, I met him that day, but he only told him that he didn't live with you, and I didn't know anything about the rest of the situation. Lan Ya closed the medicine box with a bang, "If I can know where he went, I will definitely go to him." ”

Tang Ai was silent.

She stared at Lan Ya's eyes for a long time, and finally made sure that Lan Ya was not lying.

When Lan Ya was treating Tang Ai's wounds, she kept nesting in the corner.

The two of them saw that Tang Ai had lost his dangerous aura for the time being, and tiptoed out, and poured a glass of water for Tang Ai kindly.

Tang Ai instinctively took it with her right hand, but the consequence of this move was that her hand touched the water cup without realizing it, and a cup of hot water was all spilled on her lap.

When the two little cubs saw that something was wrong, they hugged their heads and hid far away.

Lan Ya looked at Tang Ai, and then at the two little cubs, and with just one look, the two of them were taken to the next room, and then turned to Tang Ai and said, "I have clean clothes for you to change." ”

She picked out the clothes from her bag and threw them to Tang Ai.

Tang Ai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Lan Ya, are you too good to me when we meet this time." ”

Lan Ya snorted coldly, sat straight next to Tang Ai, and without waiting for Tang Ai to do it himself, she picked up Tang Ai's trouser leg, looked at the long scar on Tang Ai's leg and said, "This scar has been around for a while, and it will take more time to get rid of it." I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and now I'll tell you to grab the medicine. ”

After she said that, she took a pen and paper to write the prescription, stepped out of the room and took the door, and didn't even give Tang Ai a chance to refuse.

The two of them took the recipe, shook the corner of Lan Ya's clothes, and asked the same question as Tang Ai: "Sister Lan Ya, why are you so good to Tang Ai?" ”

Lan Ya sighed lightly and looked sideways: "Your son has been thinking about this in his heart, that day, before he left, he told me privately that if Tang Ai found me, he would ask me to show her how to remove the scar." He said that he probably couldn't do anything for Tang Ai in the future, so he repeatedly begged me to help him with this. ”

When I heard it, the tears couldn't stop falling again, and I walked out of the inn.

Not big: "It's not small, where do you say Childe will go, let's go back to the capital, will we be farther away from Childe?" ”

Not small: "Don't talk nonsense! I thought about it, and returning to the capital also has the advantage of returning to the capital. General Xiao Xu is still in the capital, what if he knows the whereabouts of Gongzi! ”

Xu Zhan had long since ceased to be his major general at the border pass, but returned to Beijing to be the commander of the accompanying holy driver, but the two cubs still habitually called him "General Xiao Xu".

He has no relatives in the capital, and he doesn't like to socialize, and in the past few days of the Spring Festival, his house is particularly deserted.

Fortunately, since the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a person has made a special trip to see him every day, making dumplings for him, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, he also brought his own guy and shook the Lantern Festival in front of him.

This person who takes the trouble to report on time every day is Yan Diejin.

It's not enough to cook for Xu Zhan, on the night of the Lantern Festival, he has to drag Xu Zhan to the Lantern Festival. Xu Zhan couldn't shirk it in every way, so he was dragged all the way to guess the lantern riddle.

The Lantern Festival is also indispensable for fireworks, but these are all issued by the common people, scattered and on no scale, and the royal salute on the day of Wanshou is not compared.

Yan Diejin was happy in it, laughing so brightly, she only taught Xu Zhan that he couldn't do anything other than talking and walking with a gurgle.

That day, Xu Zhan and Yan Diejin also bumped into Xiao Chengyi, the king of Hui, Xiao Chengyi was detained in the capital by Xiao Qing, the son of heaven, since his birthday, and he was not allowed to go anywhere, and he had no soldiers in his hands. On this day, he finally caught up with a festival, and he was allowed to come out and let himself fly.

"Lord Xiao Xu, do you mean that you are- oops, young man, your mind is very dangerous! But this king is optimistic about you, you are the one who wants to do great things! Xiao Chengyi and Xu Zhanyan Diejin passed by, walking very chicly, as if to say, this king knows everything, but this king doesn't say anything, this king just wants you to know that this king is very open-minded.

After he left, Xu Zhan's expression was more ugly than constipation, and he didn't recover for many days.

In the days that followed, Yan Diejin went to Xu Zhan's house every day as usual, as if she had become Xu Zhan's housekeeper, taking care of Xu Zhan's diet and daily life properly.

The moon turns from round to absent, that is, the state of the half-drawn moon. That night, Xu Zhan was standing in the courtyard and was stunned by the crescent moon, Yan Diejin quietly approached him, and suddenly gave him a hug from behind.

Xu Zhan turned around abruptly and almost threw Yan Diejin out eight feet away.

"What are you doing?!" Xu Zhan almost collapsed.

Yan Diejin blushed and shouted, "I just want to hug you!" ”

"......" Xu Zhan's face was purple and purple.

"I know who you're thinking, you're thinking about Tang Ai! You have already read the "Dynasty Times" a few months ago! What Tang Ai likes is that Xiao Gongzi, and I've already told you eight hundred times! I'm so good to you, why can't you just accept my heart? Yan Diejin shouted this sentence, and ran out of Xu Zhan's mansion without looking back, crying so much that it was called a pear blossom with rain.

Xu Zhan didn't seem to move.

He just stiffened in the open space of the courtyard for a long time, and escaped from a wooden man.

The courtyard is the martial arts arena, and when Xu Zhan makes another move, it is already the middle of the night.

He drew his sword from the weapon rack and danced in the clearing, with a heroic and majestic posture.

After dancing the sword, Xu Zhan stood still again.

It was as if he had been spelled by the moonlight, and he couldn't change his posture except to look up at the moon.

The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, and the person who looks at the moon at this moment is naturally not only Xu Zhan.

In the palace, Xiao Qing was standing on the high platform in front of the Qianqing Palace, groaning in the wind.

The old eunuch Cai Fu walked to Xiao Qing's side tremblingly, and whispered worriedly: "Your Majesty, this is remembering the Fourth Highness again." ”

"I don't know what happened to the child's body." Xiao Qing sighed, and then asked majestically, "Concubine Qian is still outside the palace?" ”

"Yes, I've been waiting for you for most of the night. No matter how much the old slave persuaded her, she refused to go back. ”

"Then she'll wait."

"Your Majesty, is there really no room for maneuver in the matter of the Mongolian king's courtship?"

"Marrying Xinning alone can ensure the safety of millions of border people in my heaven/dynasty, and it is worth it. She is my Xiao Qing's daughter, that is, the daughter of the Great Heaven/Dynasty, if she doesn't have this awareness, she is not worthy of being my daughter at all. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"By the way, that Tang Ai of the Six Doors, has his identity and background been clarified?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all clear, it's like this......" Cai Fu approached Xiao Qing and said in a voice that only Xiao Qing could hear.

The crescent moon in the sky seems to have an infinite attraction to the world, and somewhere far away from the capital, Xiao Yu is also speechless to the moon.

A passenger ship is sailing around the reckless mountain gorge on both sides of the river. This ship is not very gorgeous, and it has to be gorgeous, and when it is dawn, it should be able to enter the territory of Hubei.

Xiao Yu's silent shadow leaned against the window of the cabin.

There was a table of food in front of him, but the dishes and chopsticks had not been moved.

And what he was thinking when he looked at the moon may be known only to him.

Soon, the silence in the cabin was broken, and Xiao Yu's third brother, Gongwang Xiao Chengli, walked in.

"Why haven't you eaten?" Xiao Chengli swept the wine and food on the table, as if trying to contain some kind of emotion.

"I don't have much appetite." Xiao Yu replied lightly, his voice so soft that he could barely hear it.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"If you don't worry about the third brother, I'm fine."

"Okay, since you don't eat these things, then give them to me!" Xiao Chengli suddenly stepped forward, and swept his arm on the table, smashing all the food on the table to the ground.

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu looked back coldly, and his words were indifferent.

Xiao Chengli pinched his knuckles and crunched: "Tang is not confused......"

"It seems that the third brother has already sent someone to the Tang family's treasury, could it be that there is something wrong with the key?"

"No, the key you brought is fine, and we have successfully found the location of the Tang family's treasury. But the storeroom was empty, and there was nothing! Nothing! ”

Xiao Yu slowly raised his eyes and stood firmly on the eaves of the table: "Who else can the third brother think of, I can go again." ”

"No, you don't have to worry about it. The plan has changed, you take a two-day break, and then I have another task for you. Our good sister wants to marry someone else, how can I be an elder brother if I don't send it away. Xiao Chengli flicked his sleeves and left.

After Xiao Chengli left, Xiao Yu didn't care about the mess, so he sat down at the table.

The peaks on the riverbank blocked the projection of the moonlight, and even the oil lamp in the cabin went out from time to time, so that the blood droplets that spilled the corners of Xiao Yu's lips were so dim that they couldn't make out the color.

Xiao Yu buried his entire body in the shadows, calmly wiping the blood from his lips.
