Chapter 1: The Beginning
Chapter I
start
In the fourteenth year of Tang Tianbao, the ninth day of November.
An Lushan, who was also the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, used the excuse of "worrying about the danger of the country" to crusade against Yang Guozhong, and raised troops in Fanyang.
On December 13, the rebels captured the eastern capital of Luoyang.
On the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang. In the same year, Xuanzong fled into Shu and An Lushan captured Chang'an.
Mountains and rivers are broken, wind and rain are shaking.
The heroes of the rivers and lakes stepped forward, abandoned grievances, joined forces to resist the enemy, and wanted to turn the tide and save the country from danger.
In May of the second year of Zhide, An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, led 130,000 elite soldiers to the south and came to Juyang. Wanhuagu led all the adult disciples to help defend the city and keep the rebels out of Jianghuai. By October, no one came to help, the food and grass were exhausted, and all the Wanhua disciples and soldiers defending the city were killed in battle, killing 120,000 enemy troops.
In the second year of Baoying, the Anshi Rebellion was peaceful.
In the same year, Wanhua closed the valley and was no longer known to outsiders.
……
Ye Lin took a long bath - for the project at hand, he took his subordinates to get up early and stay late for more than a month, working overtime almost every day, and finally handed over the project smoothly yesterday. Although the Ye family was originally his family's inheritance, he was not an only son, and he had an elder brother who was always watching from the sidelines, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.
But fortunately, I just handed in the project, so I can at least take a good rest for now.
The man took a comfortable shower, dried his body, did not put on his shirt, but only put on a pair of long pajama pants with gloves, and it was rare to be unsightly naked—showing his sturdy upper body, and wiping his hair as he came out of the bathroom—although it was only early spring, the temperature was not low these days; The apartment is the only one he lives in anyway, so it is inevitable that it will be a little more casual.
After all, I was so tired a while ago. He just wanted to fall into bed and get a good night's sleep right now.
It was only as soon as he stepped into his bedroom that he stopped abruptly for a moment—there was a man lying on his large neat bed.
It was a little far away, and he couldn't see it very clearly for a while. I could only roughly see that the man seemed to be wearing a complicated black dress, and his long, jet-black hair was scattered on the light-colored sheets, which was very conspicuous.
Looking at that long hair, it must be a woman.
But no matter what kind of person it was, it was extremely abnormal - he was the only one who had the key to the apartment, and the bed was still empty before he went to the shower.
He subconsciously looked up at the window—as firmly closed as he had before he went to the shower.
He was stunned, and soon couldn't help but shake his head slightly-he lived on the fifteenth floor, how could any thief get in through the window? Even if it did, was it just to sleep like this?
Ye Lin was not a timid person, he paused in place for a while, put down the towel that wiped his hair halfway, tensed his nerves and slowly walked to his bedside.
As he got closer, he suddenly realized something unusual—the clothes he was wearing were layered and intricate, and they didn't look like what everyone else was wearing. If I had to say it, it would be like ...... Costume!
That's right, it's like those ancient costumes in film and television dramas, but compared to those, they are obviously much more delicate and dignified - Ye Lin's gaze swept over the exquisite dark lines on the person's clothes, and the strange thoughts in his heart became deeper and deeper, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
The man seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and there was no sign of waking up until the man had already walked to the bedside.
Ye Lin was inexplicably relieved, leaned over slightly, and lowered his head to see what was going on.
Although Tong Guò's long hair had already guessed that it should be a woman, it still surprised him a little - unexpectedly, this person was actually a young girl. She looked sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and her facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful, but her face was almost pale for some reason, and her lips were so pale that they seemed to have no blood, and she looked almost frightening.
Although the origin is still unknown, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and a beautiful girl, always inevitably makes people subconsciously lower their guard. Ye Lin bent down a little and stretched out his hand to wake her up and ask clearly:
"You ......"
As soon as the man uttered a word, his hand, which had just reached the middle of the sentence, stopped abruptly with his voice, and stopped in mid-air—he only felt that something flashed in front of him, and then his chest went numb, and the next moment, the whole person seemed to suddenly freeze and couldn't move!
Not only could he not move, but he could not even open his mouth to speak—no matter how much he tried, he could not move at all, and he could not make a sound.
The man who has always been calm and calm has an unprecedented moment of panic.
Then he saw that the girl lying on the bed finally opened her eyes.
She had a pair of slightly narrow phoenix eyes, which should have been extremely soft eyebrows - in fact, when she lay on the bed with her eyes closed, she did look quiet and beautiful. However, unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, there seemed to be a terrifying murderous aura in her phoenix eyes.
For a moment, he almost felt as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in her eyes, and even he couldn't help but be terrified.
Fortunately, the murderous aura in those eyes soon subsided, returning to the calm and clarity commensurate with her.
"Who's down there?" At last the girl spoke—slowly, almost word for word, and in a hoarse voice, as if it were difficult to speak. Just said these four words in one sentence, and a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on her pale forehead.
Ye Lin didn't speak, just stared at her eyes fixedly, his gaze was obscure—it wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
The girl paused slightly, as if she also realized something, and slowly spoke again with some difficulty:
"If you say yes...... If I don't shout for help, I'll ...... Unravel the acupoints for you. ”
This time the words were a bit long, obviously more difficult and painful for her, and Qing Lijiao's face was already full of sweat. But she didn't even frown for half a minute, her face was calm as if nothing had happened, she paused for a moment, and then quickly continued:
"You should understand that although I am seriously wounded, it is not enough to take your life."
After she finished speaking, she saw that although Ye Lin couldn't move or speak, his eyes were calm, and he was obviously not an ignorant person who didn't know the height of the sky, and his heart couldn't help but settle down a little, but he still didn't dare to ignore it, and confirmed to him for the last time:
"If you say yes, blink twice."
Ye Lin didn't hesitate, and blinked his eyes twice in a row - obviously what the girl said was not intimidation out of thin air. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, there is no second choice but to promise him.
Seeing that he had agreed, the girl breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and then tried to hold her breath - in fact, she had not just woken up, she had already noticed it when the man stepped into the room. However, the wound on her body was too serious to act rashly, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be still unconscious, and when the man let down his guard and came to check, he was restrained with a move.
But the moment she opened her eyes, she saw not only the man, but the room—she had never seen anything around it! What exactly is this place? How did she get here all of a sudden? She's not...... Should it have been dead a long time ago?
The siege of the city for five months, the lack of food and grass, and the lack of help—she vividly remembered the sharp pain when the wolffang's spear stabbed into her chest.
But no matter what, at least this person has no internal strength and no fists and feet, and he definitely won't be a member of the Wolf Tooth Army. The girl's mind raced, but she knew that now was not the time to think about this, and she quickly settled down. The previous shot that caught his acupoint had almost exhausted what little strength and internal force she had left, and at this time she had to grit her teeth again and try to urge her internal force.
Ye Lin looked at her in silence.
After waiting for a while, I finally saw her slowly raise her arm, reach out and raise her index and middle fingers with great difficulty. She seemed to be really badly injured, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
Ye Lin lowered his eyes and watched her fingertips tap her chest.
The next moment, as if she finally had no strength to support her, the hand that had just touched his chest slipped suddenly.
Ye Lin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes involuntarily widened for a moment.
He was "fixed" when he bent down to check on her condition, and his center of gravity was already unstable. When she didn't move just now, she could barely maintain her balance, but when she was on her arm at this time, the whole person lost her balance in an instant and fell down "without hesitation".
The "acupoint" had not yet been untied, and he could neither move nor open his mouth, so he could only watch himself fall down, and instantly fell on the bed and pressed against the girl's body.
The girl really didn't seem to have the strength anymore, and she couldn't even dodge, and she was "smashed" when she boarded. Of course Ye Lin is not fat, but after all, he is a man of 1.85 meters and a well-proportioned body, and when he fell down so firmly, the girl immediately snorted, and the blood on her face was lost, and she couldn't support it anymore for a while, and she actually fell into a coma all of a sudden.
The warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, but Ye Lin didn't have those thoughts at all - the man stiffened his body and pressed against the girl, unable to move or speak, so he could only try to raise his eyes to see her face, hoping that she would wake up and unravel the so-called acupoints for herself. However, he didn't know how long it was, until he couldn't wait to see that his eyes began to cramp, and then he finally had to force himself to guard his sight. Then he took a deep breath, and then he seemed to finally accept his fate, and slowly closed his eyes.
