62 Unexpected encounters

When the two cubs came back from the medicine, their hair and clothes were messy in the wind, and their eyes were even more swollen. pbtxt.

A sudden tingling pain on the back of Tang Ai's hand. I don't know if it's because I can't bear it because I saw the pitiful appearance of the two children, but in short, her pain came back.

Lan Ya's meaning is also very clear, she has to spend time making ointment from the medicinal materials brought back by the two little cubs, Tang Ai is best to stay here honestly and don't want to run anywhere.

Tang Ai listened to Lan Ya's words, his eyes glanced at the two little cubs, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

So, Lan Ya and the others only saw her let out a sullen "um", picked up the quilt and covered her face.

At dawn, a shadow jumped up silently, and went straight into the room of the two little cubs, opening and closing the door without making the slightest sound.

The two of them were sleeping soundly, not snoring a little, grinding their little teeth, the shadow snapped twice and clicked on the dumb hole of the two, one arm grabbed one person, and the other jumped out of the window.

The two of them woke up in shock, wanted to call but couldn't scream, and couldn't break free if they wanted to struggle.

To be honest, stealing a child in the middle of the night is not something that ordinary people can come up with.

This thief shadow is Tang Ai.

Tang Ai didn't despise this thought of himself at first, but then he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and he still did it. The two of them were tied face to face by her on horseback, you look at me, I look at you, grinning and howling, tears crackled and began to fall.

Tang Ai ate the scales and became resolute, and drove the first wave of people out of the city gatehouse, and slammed the horse's buttocks with a whip, and then did not stop for several hours.

The dumb hole, which is not big or small, gradually loosened, and the howl of the ghost who wanted to die resounded in the sky again. Tang Ai ignored the frightened gaze of passers-by, and let the two little cubs cry until the sun turned west.

The two children couldn't cry at this time, only dry howls remained, Tang Ai glared at a murderous look, and the two of them immediately didn't even dare to howl.

Tang Ai lifted the two little ones off the horse, and regardless of whether the two of them were happy or not, he took out the dry food and stuffed it into the mouths of the two: "Eat!" ”

In fact, looking at the blue faces of the two children, you can know that the two of them have long been so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, but they have a backbone again at this time, their mouths are like they have been sewn up, and they don't eat.

"If you love to eat or not, you will starve to death and pull it down." Tang Ai roared angrily, and sat down to the side to nibble on the dry food, his teeth crunching.

Here, the small belly screamed so poignantly: "It's not small, what is Tang Ai going to do......

swallowed and foamed hard, and replied wiltingly: "She knows that Childe is good to the two of us, and she must want to take us as hostages and force Childe ......to show up."

That's right, that's what Tang Ai thinks.

She always felt that Xiao Yu was hiding in a corner of the shadows, so she had to take the two little cubs to swagger through the market, and she had to make these two people miserable, hoping that Xiao Yu couldn't bear it and jumped out to rescue the two of them.

Tang Ai thought so, so he did it.

On the way back to Beijing, the two cubs have been tied to horses by her, and they have been exposed to the wind and sun. It's not big, it's no longer a round little fat man, it's not small, and it's directly thinned into a handful of bones.

However, even so, what Tang Ai was most looking forward to still did not happen from beginning to end.

The days passed in a flash, and when Tang Ai returned to the capital with a small and a small one, the flowers of early spring had bloomed all over the place.

Tang Ai is in the spring when everything is recovering, but his heart is still in the cold winter of three feet freezing. She untied the two cubs downstairs at the city gate, made two sets of new clothes for the two of them to change, and bought a drawer of big meat buns for the two of them.

She was the only one herself, like a walking corpse, and she didn't even have a tone when she said it: "It's hard for you two along the way, I'm sorry." Let's go. ”

As soon as he was not excited, he began to cry stupidly again. Although he was also taken aback, his eyes were dripping, his body was short, and he took advantage of Tang Ai's lowered eyes to take it off from under Tang Ai's arm.

After the two of them ran away and disappeared, Tang Ai's face was only left with an expression of discouragement. She wandered the streets of the capital, passing by pedestrians on the road, but she didn't know what she was doing, and she didn't remember where she came from or where she was going.

At this time, a large wave of people rushed over, and some of them shouted loudly, as if something was "terrible, someone is going to commit suicide".

Most of the people in the Celestial Dynasty have a characteristic, that is, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement. Tang Ai involuntarily followed the crowd forward, and arrived at Tianqiao Street in less than half a moment.

In broad daylight, a man was standing on the railing in the middle of the overpass, as if he might ride the wind at any moment.

There were already many passers-by under the bridge, and the person on the bridge glanced at everyone without love, and then stepped into the void.

The crowd of onlookers all exclaimed, seeing him go down the bridge with an upside-down onion, and many people couldn't bear to see him smash his brains on the ground, and covered his eyes faster than he fell.

said that it was too late, and Tang Ai rushed out on tiptoe.

At the same time, a pair of vigorous figures also flew from the other end of the overpass, intersecting with Tang Ai under the bridge with lightning speed, and invariably opened their arms with Tang Ai.

This directly led to a result - the one who was going to die could not die.

Not only did he not die, but he also fell unscathed.

Why did Tang Ai save people? This can probably only be explained by instinct.

As for the other righteous man...... Tang Ai didn't see the faces of him and the rescued person until he hit the ground with his heels - the person who saved people was Xu Zhan, and the person who escaped Fu Da's death was actually Yan Diejin.

The general will stand firm, and the onlookers slap their hands. Needless to say, the applause was given to Tang Ai and Xu Zhan, the two heroes who stepped forward.

The crowd gathered quickly and dispersed faster, and after a while, the Tianqiao Street returned to its original state. People should wander around, they should sell, as if nothing had happened.

Of course, people can only be onlookers.

The servants in the dragon beard ditch under the overpass...... It's a big deal.

Obviously, no matter what the reason, Yan Diejin is no longer thinking about suicide now.

Instead, he wanted to kill. To be precise, kill Tang Ai.

Xu Zhan's role just now was to prevent Yan Diejin from committing suicide, and his current role was to prevent him from killing people.

Yan Diejin pounced on Tang Ai like a crazy little tiger, and Xu Zhan grabbed him eight feet away with a big arm. He pounced again, and Xu Zhan pulled him out again. He didn't give up yet, and the third time he pounced, Xu Zhan picked him up for the third time and couldn't find the north.

From this point of view, Yan Diejin is definitely a very important person to Xu Zhan.

The important person has to be picked three times.

Once upon a time, Tang Ai knew the following situations:

First, Xu Zhan is a man, Yan Diejin is also a man, and both of them also treat her Tang Ai as a man;

Second, Xu Zhan has a good impression of her, for no reason, for no reason;

Third, Yan Diejin also seems to have a good impression of Xu Zhan, which is beyond friendship and close to love.

Now, Tang Ai suddenly understood something. Xu Zhan showed up in time to save Yan Diejin, which was by no means accidental.

"Brother Xu, Xiao Yan, listen to me!" She poked between the two of them regardless of her safety, "I guess, Xiao Yan can't think about it, and he can't get rid of it with me......"

Hearing Tang Ai's words, Xu Zhan's face was pitch black, and Yan Diejin's face was colorful.

Tang Ai stopped talking, glanced at this and that, and suddenly raised his hand and pulled off the ribbon that tied his hair on the top of his head.

Fortunately, her high bun immediately turned into waist-length hair, and a strand of hair half-covered and half-covered one side of her cheek, casually outlining a soft trace.

"I'm a woman. Seeing me as I really am, your contradictions should be resolved. Tang Ai tried to hold back a smile, but unfortunately these days, she didn't know what a smile was, so her face only showed an unnatural distortion.

This time, Xu Zhan's face was colorful, and Yan Diejin's face was jet black.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Tang Ai muttered the same sentence, and in an instant he disappeared into the bustling crowd.

The six doors are not far from Tianqiao Street, and since Tang Ai has returned to the capital, he should naturally go to Lord Liu to report. She stopped at the entrance of Zongpu Hutong for a while, but in the end, instead of going to the six doors, she wandered down the street again.

Gray sky, gray earth, gray pedestrians...... The purple and red spring color was just a gloomy gray mist in Tang Ai's eyes.

She unconsciously shook to the door of the Dongpo Building, who knows, this Dongpo Building is no longer the original.

Dongpo Building is closed, the windows are closed, and the boss hangs a sign at the door, "Transfer".

"When did Dongpo Tower close?!" Tang Ai grabbed a passer-by and didn't let go.

"It's just, it's just the past few days...... passer-by was startled, and he was entangled in what Tang Ai called for a long time, "Gong...... Child? No, no, girl? Hey, I remembered! You're Little Tang Master with Six Doors, and I've seen you in the Dynasty Times! ”

Tang Ai let go of the passers-by, turned around whimfully, and headed to the west again.

The winding path of the West Mountain is quiet, it is a good time for spring, Tang Ai stood halfway up the mountain, but thought that he had a hallucination - the quiet courtyard hidden in the depths of the forest disappeared.

"Disappear" means that not a single brick or tile is left.

There was only a vacant lot in front of Tang Ai's eyes, and the small yards and small houses that used to be were as if they had never existed. The small courtyard can't disappear out of thin air by itself, someone must have been here, demolished the house and destroyed the wall.

For Tang Ai, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least, she can firmly believe that Xiao Yu has not evaporated from the world. Perhaps, he himself demolished this place to the ground.

In addition to Tang Ai, Xu Zhan also went to Xiao Yuxishan's residence a few days ago. At that time, his surprise was no less than that of Tang Ai.

It didn't take long for it to be evening, but Xu Zhan and Yan Diejin were still frozen in the dragon beard ditch under the overpass, staring at each other with big eyes and relatively speechless.

It wasn't until one person appeared that the deadlock between the two was broken.

As an unexpected person, Xiao Yu arrived without warning.

Well, it's the Xiao Yu that Tang Ai was looking for but couldn't see.

First of all, Xiao Yu politely asked Yan Diejin to leave first.

Immediately, he said something like this to Xu Zhan: "Someone wants to see you, so they want me to invite you." ”

The person who wanted to see Xu Zhan was King Gong Xiao Chengli, and Xiao Chengli was in the Dongpo Building of Guan Zhang Daji at this time.

Every door and window of Dongpo Building is tightly sealed, and even the light is not transparent. From the outside, this is a lifeless abandoned house, and no one would have thought that there are still people in the building.

Xiao Chengli was more enthusiastic when he saw Xu Zhan than when he saw his father. Xiao Yu retreated to the corner silently, quietly watching Xiao Chengli "shush and ask for warmth and care" to Xu Zhan.

"Lord Wang, you are not summoned, how can you enter Beijing without authorization?!" Xu Zhan asked in surprise as he retreated in embarrassment.

"If General Xiao Xu doesn't say it, my father won't know." Xiao Chengli maintained a personable smile, but his voice sounded so aggressive, "General Xiao Xu, I invited you here to tell you a few things." ”

Xu Zhan glanced at Xiao Yu anxiously, and a few beads of sweat oozed from his head. Xiao Yu ignored him, just glanced at Xiao Chengli slightly, his expression was almost terrifying.

Xiao Chengli took a shallow sip of tea, and also invited Xu Zhan to sit down and taste tea: "The first thing I want to say to General Xiao Xu is my business." Now, the attack a few months ago, in fact, I planned it. To be clear, the person who found someone to assassinate me was myself. Going forward, in the case of Sima Xiongqi and several adults, I also secretly helped the person named Zhang Qirui. ”

As soon as Xiao Chengli's words came out, many things became clear. It seems that his biggest purpose is to confuse the government and the opposition and take the opportunity to blame the prince.

Xiao Qing himself doesn't treat the prince very well, the prince's reputation has deteriorated all the way, and there are people who see the wind and rudder among the civil and military officials, and the power of the third prince Xiao Chengli is on par with the prince, and the prince's position is likely to be replaced by Xiao Chengli.

The unlucky prince has such a third brother who always remembers him, and he is really fortunate to have three lives. I don't know if he would vomit three liters of blood if he learned about this, and he just wanted to reincarnate again.

Xu Zhan's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the teacup slammed on the ground with a clatter, falling to the ground and blooming.

Xiao Chengli didn't care, poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xu Zhan: "The second thing I want to say is your business, General Xu." Or rather, this matter has something to do with your father, General Xu. I believe that my father will never tell you that he single-handedly contributed to the death of General Xu. The father's method is also simple and rude, just like the fourth mother's mother, a cup of poisoned wine sent General Xu to the west. ”

What Xiao Chengli said is not necessarily the truth, nor is it necessarily not. General Xu Lao had a heavy army in his hands back then, and if Xiao Qing was really afraid that he would be overwhelmed by his merits and support his troops to stand on his own, he would definitely have the heart to eradicate him.

Whoa!

A piercing popping sound came from Xu Zhan's hand.

The teacup had been crushed by him for a moment.

He said...... Is it true?! Xu Zhan turned his head suddenly, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yu, and every trace of sound in his throat and eyes seemed to hide the power to destroy the world and destroy the earth.

Xiao Yu stared at him for a moment, nodded indifferently, and then lowered his eyes, burying his entire face in the shadows.

Xiao Chengli stood up and walked around to Xu Zhan's side, and gently patted Xu Zhan's shoulder: "Little General Xu, my father's dragon chair has been done long enough. What I want to do, I'm sure you should be very clear. The fourth child is helping me, and I hope you can help me too. ”

At three o'clock, Xu Zhan left Dongpo Tower.

At five o'clock, Tang Ai returned to Dongpo Tower.

The twilight was deep, and there was only one pedestrian left on the long street. It's better to say that she's a pedestrian, but she's a wanderer, and she doesn't know where her destination is. She just walked blindly, down the mountain, into the city, and to the door of the Dongpo Building.

The Dongpo building has changed a little, the sign on the door is slanted to the ground, and there is a faint fire shaking in the original black rumbling building. The light spilled through the crack in the door onto the stone bricks on the street, and Tang Ai just stepped on the point of light.

She couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the light source.

In the swaying firelight, a clear human figure loomed, swaying in a daze, and the shadows were full of shadows.

Xiao Yu.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, at five o'clock, Tang Ai met Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu sat in the corner of the Dongpo Building, wearing plain clothes and floating in the light and shadow. He was the only one in the building, and there was a jug of wine on the table, and he was pouring himself a drink with his eyes down.

Tang Ai rushed into the Dongpo Building, and every step he took shook the ground.

She showed a bright dagger in front of Xiao Yu - Xiao Yu's dagger.

Then, Tang Ai used the dagger to split the table in half.

Xiao Yu's wooden box she has always carried with her, and this dagger is the murder weapon of Tang Bufu's life.

"I finally ...... I've found you......" Tang Ai gasped heavily, "If this table were you, then I would have taken revenge!" ”

The wine jug was still in Xiao Yu's hand, and he was still in the posture of pouring wine. In the face of Tang Ai, his reaction can be easily summed up in four words: indifferent.

The consequences of indifference are severe.

The dagger that smashed the table was quickly pointed at Xiao Yu's chest.

"You, also, have ...... What, what, words, good, ......" Every time Tang Ai said one more word, there was a little more sadness and indignation on his face.

Xiao Yu finally opened his mouth: "Why did your hand hurt......

Tang Ai's hand was right under his nose, and the injuries on his hands were undoubtedly exposed.

The wound should have scabbed and scarred a long time ago, but Tang Ai had been going all the way, and the injury had never healed. She had already reluctantly removed the stitches, and now she was clutching the dagger too hard, and the wound that had finally healed was torn again, and oozing pus and blood flowed out.

If Xiao Yu didn't ask, Tang Ai wouldn't feel much pain in his hands at all. Now, the pain only drove her dagger forward with another point.

This extra point is enough to kill.

Without waiting for Tang Ai to exert force, the dagger that sharpened iron like clay stabbed into Xiao Yu's chest.
