66.Chapter 66
After Ling Chusi threw Ji Xiaobai, who had fallen to the ground and was still vomiting blood, he left it alone, and then directly performed the Ten Thousand Flowers Light Skill "Ink Mountains and Rivers", and the whole body disappeared into the deep night with light and extremely fast speed.
After leaving the courtyard on the bank of the Yushui River, Ling Chusi walked on the streets of Cangwu County with some confusion.
At this time, the night was already very deep, and a faint mist was falling, making the night thicker than ink, and in the distance, there was still a faint long tune of playing people.
Ling Chusi was wearing a light gauze skirt, and the light skirt hung down slightly, forming a graceful arc with her steps. She walked quietly down the street, and only after she was far away from the courtyard on the banks of the Yushui River did she slow down, lowered her head and rubbed her eyes.
Ling Chusi's mood at this time was extremely complicated, whoever had been worried and worried for so long, and had been worried about it for so long, would probably be extremely unwilling to get such an ending. Especially after she heard that Ji Xiaobai was injured, she also tried her best to make all kinds of precious medicines for him, but the result she got turned all her previous efforts into a joke and a farce.
Ling Chusi walked in the night a little dazed, and for a while, he couldn't even think of what he should do next.
At this moment, under the two lanterns hanging at the street in front, a figure suddenly appeared, Song Shidao was wearing a white Confucian shirt, standing there politely, his voice was soft and warm, "Miss Ling." ”
Ling Chusi raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes widened slightly in some shock.
After she got a little closer, through the light and shadow in the red lantern, she saw that Song Shidao, who was still standing there with a slight smile, suddenly became a little solemn.
"Are you crying......?" Looking at Ling Chusi's slightly reddened eyes, Song Shidao hesitated for a moment, and then let go of his soft tone and said softly with concern.
Ling Chusi raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes, there were no tears, and then he gently flattened his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Hmm...... I was just accidentally and cried! ”
Song Shidao, who was still vaguely melancholy, suddenly didn't know how to answer, he looked at Ling Chusi with some tears and laughter, especially after she whispered that she was angry and cried.
In the end, Song Shidao could only soothe in a soft voice: "Then don't be angry." ”
After a pause, Song Shidao groaned slightly, and continued to whisper: "If there is anything unhappy, if you don't mind, you can tell me, maybe I can do something to help." ”
Song Shidao didn't mention the Demon Gate Mending Heaven Pavilion that Ling Chusi had gone to before, but just patiently and meticulously talked to her and comforted her.
"......" Ling Chusi only rubbed his forehead with a wry smile when he heard this, and finally squeezed out a sentence after a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, thank you......"
Song Shidao seemed to walk with Ling Chusi very naturally and logically, and the two of them walked aimlessly along the streets of Cangwu County.
Ling Chusi, who was still in a trance, did not immediately ask Song Shidao about it, but was still immersed in the previous anger, anger, and inexplicable depression and sadness.
Seeing this, Song Shidao didn't say much, just walked quietly with Ling Chusi, as if he was silently accompanied.
After a long time, the fog of the night had dissipated, and the stars and moon had reappeared in the night sky, and the sky had gradually become cloudy.
Looking up at the whiteness of the fish belly that had just emerged in the eastern sky, Ling Chusi let out a long sigh of relief, finally calmed down his mood, turned his head calmly, showed a faint smile and said to Song Shidao: "I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly appear here last night......
Song Shidao replied very calmly, and said with a slight smile: "My Song Valve's boat transporting salt happened to pass through a section of Yushui, and it happened that there was another news from home, and I needed to rush to Luoyang later. After the boat went ashore, I also heard that you were around here, and after thinking about it, I deliberately came out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet you......"
Ling Chusi nodded, barely showed a smile, and said softly, "Let you see you laugh." ”
Song Shidao saw the stitches, without the "Earth Sword" Song Zhi intentionally or unintentionally blocking and interfering with the side, and his attitude was eagerly dedicated to this kind of thing, Song Shidao was like a divine help, and without blinking his eyes, he had already said with a smile and softly: "Miss Ling, what are your plans next?" If you don't have anything else to do, you might as well go with me and take a break. ”
Looking at Ling Chusi's dusty and weathered color, Song Shidao's eyes became more and more distressed and pitying, and he said softly: "I see that you are a little tired, there is nothing that you can't get over, let's rest first!" Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, there will be nothing unhappy about it. ”
Ling Chusi nodded, although after experiencing such concealment or to put it badly, it was actually a naked deception, it was difficult to put it down immediately, but Ling Chusi definitely had the determination not to let these things continue to affect and hurt him.
"The mansion in front is owned by Song Valve, if Miss Ling doesn't dislike it, it's better to go to the cold house to rest first, and if there is anything, wait for you to wake up and then consider and solve it." Song Shidao raised his finger and pointed to a mansion in front of him, and said softly with Ling Chusi in earnest words.
Ling Chusi nodded, for her now, a quiet room is indeed more calming than an inn with many guests and endless streams, and she does need time to forget about the things before and calm her mood.
After Song Shidao brought people home, he didn't even instruct the maid, so he directly took the initiative to bring Ling Chusi to the door of the guest room, and said softly: "Miss Ling, have a good rest." ”
Ling Chusi nodded, looked at him deeply, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Just when Ling Chusi had already entered the room and was about to close the door, Song Shidao smiled softly, and suddenly opened his mouth without any expectation, his voice was soft but his attitude was unexpectedly determined: "The sky is almost dawn, and the sun is about to come out." ”
Ling Chusi was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly, although there was still a little indescribable amazement in his expression, but he still tried to cheer up, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, God, it's going to be light......"
Because of the fatigue of the previous day and night, coupled with the physical and mental exhaustion after meeting Ji Xiaobai, Ling Chusi went back to the room to rest on the eve of dawn, and this sleep, he directly slept until the evening twilight.
Because he had been sleeping for a long time, when Ling Chusi came out of the room, his expression was still a little abrupt. However, after this sweet sleep, Ling Chusi's spirit was much more restored, and the expression on his face became brighter.
Seeing this, Song Shidao couldn't help but smile slightly, and even had the heart to joke with her: "Miss Ling, are you in a good mood now?" ”
Ling Chusi raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi Song for your hospitality today." ”
Song Shidao waved his hand disappreciatively, and while walking in the courtyard with Ling Chusi, who had just come out of the room, he had already instructed the maid to prepare a more sumptuous dinner.
The two of them were still chatting very casually at first, and after the topic became a little hotter, Ling Chu thought about what Song Shidao said last night, and then exchanged with him with some concern: "Song Gongzi, you just said yesterday that you need to go to Luoyang next with important matters?" ”
Song Shidao nodded, a trace of complexity flashed on his face, and immediately, after reflecting Ling Chusi's expression with a calm but still somewhat dazed appearance in his heart, he directly explained: "Does Miss Ling know the story of He Shibi?" ”
Ling Chusi blinked, still a little dazed in his heart, but he still nodded and replied seriously, "I've naturally heard of this." ”
After a pause, she even teased Song Shi with a bit of leisurely fun: "From Bai Bi Sanxian, to Chu Bi Sui Zhen, and the final return to Zhao, which story are you asking?" ”
Song Shidao smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "It seems that Miss Ling doesn't know much about this rumor. ”
Ling Chusi nodded very calmly, she was alone, and the news she got couldn't be compared with Song Valve, a family with its own source of information, not to mention, because several so-called "big news" were related to herself, and she couldn't move up with a black pot at every turn, after a long time, and many times, Ling Chusi became less concerned about those rumors.
Seeing this, Song Shidao just smiled slightly, and explained softly: "There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes that the He's jade and Yang Gong's treasure house, the two have one, and the world can be safe!" For example, today's smoke is gradually rising, all forces are gathered, and everyone wants to compete in the world, so these two things have already become things that people all over the world are chasing! It is reported that a few days ago, only the fairy of Cihang Jingzhai took the initiative to release news on the rivers and lakes, claiming that one of the two and the family will appear in Luoyang, and now, whether it is the master of the rivers and lakes or the gate valve of the imperial court, they all rushed to Luoyang to see how the number of qi in the world is! ”
Ling Chusi looked at him and blinked, instead of echoing the response, he shook his head and said softly, "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are not credible. ”
Song Shidao said softly: "Actually, it's not just because of the rumors in the rivers and lakes. My Song family has been said since ancient times, and the piece carved into He's Bi is not a strange stone from the fairy world, which contains earth-shattering secrets. That's why my father asked me to go to Luoyang in person. Speaking of this, Song Shidao also had a little regret in his heart, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that no one knows what the secret is in the Heshi Bi." ”
Ling Chusi didn't hesitate for a moment, he spoke straightforwardly, and directly said lightly and disapprovingly: "After taking He's Bi in his hand, what is the mystery of that piece of jade, it will naturally be understood!" ”
Song Shidao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "In this way, I borrowed Miss Ling's auspicious words!" ”
Ling Chusi blinked and smiled lightly at him, but in his heart, he still had the slightest disapproving attitude.
After all, if it is as the Song family has said from generation to generation, the Heshi Bi contains earth-shattering energy, in this case, Ling Chusi believes it, just like the Flying Sand Xuanjing, the Jade Xuanjing and the Dust Sand Xuanjing, which of these Xuanjing that can be polished into divine weapons together with meteorite iron does not contain extraordinary energy? However, if it was said that if he could get a piece of He's Bi and he could get the world, Ling Chusi didn't believe it at all.
Immediately, Song Shidao deliberately invited Ling Chusi and said: "I will go to Luoyang tomorrow, now, in Luoyang City, there are many heroes, can Miss Ling be interested in going with me?" ”
"......" Ling Chusi thought about it for a while, although she didn't believe in this kind of thing very much, but thinking that the news this time was released by Cihang Jingzhai, it was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with her on the surface, but Ling Chusi was already eager to do something in her heart.
- After all, Cihang Jingzhai gave her a black cauldron with ill intentions not long ago. Especially considering that a few years ago, when he lived in seclusion in Qinling Qingyan Wanhua Valley and was a neighbor of Cihang Jingzhai, he also sold so many of their medicines, and directly sent Cihang Jingzhai a prescription for antidote in Taoli Town, which is at the junction of the Great Sui and Turkic and Khitan generations in the north, and also saved Li Qingmei more than once.
Just after experiencing Ji Xiaobai's incident, even though Ling Chusi looked as usual on the surface, deep down, his mood was terrible. Even if Ji Xiaobai has been seriously injured, the depression in Ling Chusi's heart has never been completely vented, in contrast, it is not bad to take this opportunity to go to Luoyang to see the situation, and then do something according to the situation to vent some......
Thinking of this, Ling Chusi naturally raised his head, looked at Song Shidao and nodded, bowed slightly, but said quite seriously: "There are not many opportunities for heroes to gather, and I am also a little curious, so I naturally want to go to Luoyang!" ”
Song Shidao immediately smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "In this way, Miss Ling can go with me all the way, and everyone will have a care on the way." ”
Ling Chusi nodded, and immediately agreed, "Okay!" ”
From Cangwu County all the way to Luoyang City, such a hurried trip should have been tiring, but under the coordinated scheduling arrangement of all the forces of the Song Dynasty, Ling Chusi, who was walking with Song Shidao all the way, did not think about it at all, and the whole journey was a pleasant one, and when Ling Chusi and Song Shidao and his party were about to arrive in Luoyang City, as long as Ji Xiaobai was not mentioned, Ling Chusi's mood even became more relaxed and excited.
At the same time, in the courtyard on the bank of the Yushui River in Cangwu County, Ji Xiaobai, who was still recuperating from his injuries, looked sad, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a gray mist, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his eyes were solemn, and the whole person became dull and depressed.
When the person who was called Uncle He by Ji Xiaobai came back from a busy task, he saw Ji Xiaobai lying on the bed, with only an empty and blank look in his eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped in a bluff, and he was shocked and asked in shock: "Pavilion Master, how could you be so seriously injured!?" ”
"......" Ji Xiaobai closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled slightly bitterly: "Don't say it, it's me who is to blame......"
Uncle He was obviously completely unacceptable to Ji Xiaobai's answer, and immediately frowned and asked, "Why did the pavilion master say this!" ”
Ji Xiaobai didn't even want to answer this time, but he shook his head slightly in a melancholy and tired mood, closed his eyes directly, and put on an expression that he didn't want to talk about more.
As for Uncle He, he was still struggling with how Ji Xiaobai, who was at ease in the Mending Heaven Pavilion, could be so seriously injured. Seeing that Ji Xiaobai refused to explain more, he didn't continue to ask here. It's just that he is the oldest one in the Demon Gate Mending Heaven Pavilion, and Ji Xiaobai, the pavilion master, is quite polite to him on weekdays, so now, when there are almost no clear clues, Uncle He still relies on the clues of other parties to piece together a jaw-dropping process.
Thinking of this, Uncle He glanced at Ji Xiaobai, who was still lying on the sickbed with some concern, and once again couldn't help but wring his eyebrows, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly, and silently arranged the trip to Luoyang.
However, when Uncle He finally arrived in Luoyang City, he was shocked to find that in the courtyard of Shanglinfang, which was located on the bank of the Luoshui River in Luoyang City, Ji Xiaobai, who looked sad, was already sitting inside.
"Uncle He-cough cough......" Ji Xiaobai raised his head casually and nodded at Uncle He, as a result, because of his injury, after saying this sentence, he was already holding a handkerchief in his hand to cover his mouth gently, and he looked sick and weak again.
............After a long silence, Uncle He was so shocked by him that he almost jumped to his feet, and exclaimed in almost disbelief: "Pavilion Master, why did you suddenly appear here!?" ”
Ji Xiaobai lowered his eyes slightly, and didn't say that he learned that Ling Chusi actually came here with Song Shidao, the only son of Song Que of the Song Valve Lord "Heavenly Sword", and only after he had clearly rejected Uncle He's mention just now, he dragged his injured body all the way to Luoyang City, and even arrived before Uncle He.
However, Uncle He didn't care what Ji Xiaobai thought of in his heart, he was just happy to see Ji Xiaobai go in person. With Ji Xiaobai's scheming city government, it has been arranged in Luoyang City before, and winning the first place in this situation is not an easy thing to do, but it also adds three points of certainty!
After all, in Luoyang City, in addition to the Great Sui royal family and the family gate, there are also some inscrutable involvements between the various forces on the rivers and lakes, and Uncle He has been frowning on the way to consider the handling plan of this matter, and now, seeing Ji Xiaobai come here in person, Uncle He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then he can act according to Ji Xiaobai's orders, so that he can rest assured!
・
In the early morning, Luoyang City had just woken up from the deep night, and it was already full of traffic, and the river was endless, revealing a prosperous scene.
Because of He's Bi, all forces gathered in Luoyang City at this time, which can be described as the axis of the world's wrestling. Among the pedestrians walking on the road, many of them are dressed in strong clothes, which can be seen at a glance and the difference from ordinary people.
In the early morning of this day, Ling Chusi, at the invitation of Song Shidao, rode his horse along the Luo Causeway, which was full of lush branches and willows. On the surface of the Luoshui River, the giant boats are parallel, such as high-rise buildings in Daxia, and there is a bit of majestic and magnificent feeling.
Just looking at the prosperity of this place, no one may be able to directly attack the Great Sui, who is still trying to whitewash the peace. It's as if the beacon fire and smoke outside and the devastation of life are just a story relayed from someone else's mouth!
Ling Chu, who was riding in the flying sand, couldn't help but sigh lightly when he thought about this, but seeing that Song Shidao next to him was in high spirits and full of interest for the matter of Heshibi, Ling Chusi put away all the disapprovals in his heart, and just nodded with Song Shidao with a smile.
The two men rode their horses to a stop on the willow embankment on the riverside, and before they could dismount, not far behind them, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.
Ling Chusi looked back when he heard this, and Song Shidao also had a similar reaction, only to see a young man with outstanding demeanor and imposing momentum galloping in the direction of Ling Chusi.
Ling Chusi was slightly stunned.
But in the blink of an eye, the young man with a heroic face and a solemn expression had already tightened the reins and stopped in front of Ling Chusi.
"We're meeting again!" The young man looked at Ling Chusi's eyes, and after vaguely sensing her blank look, he sighed lightly, and in an instant, his gaze fell steadily on the oily and slippery Li Feisha, whose enthusiasm and burning heat almost made people instinctively want to stop.
After a short silence at "......", the expression on Ling Chusi's face became more and more dazed and innocent.
She really didn't remember when she met such a young man.
On the other hand, Song Shidao next to him was just watching the excitement at first, but when his eyes met with this young man and he felt the momentum that was coming, he suddenly came back to his senses.
"You have forgotten me, but I still remember ......" The seemingly calm young man suddenly sighed slightly sadly, and the meaning between his words was still unfinished, but it was really clear.
When he said this, his gaze was still steadily looking at Ling Chusi.
"......" Ling Chusi, who was speechless again, was stunned when he looked at the young man's slightly smiling and slightly teasing eyes after being silent for a long time.
It was Song Shidao, who was relaxed and calm just now, but at this time, his face was already solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "--Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang State Mansion!?" ”
Li Shimin, who was directly called out of his identity, didn't care at all, but first smiled at Ling Chusi calmly and elegantly, and then turned his head sideways, and called out Song Shidao's identity-for-tat, "Lingnan Song Valve Song Shidao!" Today, we have a fate to meet, and we should be a big white! ”
