Chapter 35: The Covenant of Shazhou (1)
After going back to the room to take a bath and resting for a long time, Cen Kexuan finally got rid of his tiredness, and pondered calling Doulan to make a bowl of soothing tea for himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It's been a lot of tossing and turning in the past two days, and she's going to leave the next day to continue north, and she needs to settle down. was about to speak, but when he looked around, he found that Doulan's girl had left the room and didn't know where to go.
She sighed, and when she went out, it was more practical to rely on Doulan for everything than to do it herself. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she combed her hair, and combed her clothes, then stood up, and was about to go out, when the sound of knocking outside sounded in time, she answered gently, and the door opened, and the bamboo horse slowly entered the door with a celadon teacup.
Cen Ke said in surprise: "What is this? Bamboo Horse smiled and said, "This is a soothing tea specially prepared for the girl." Cen Kexuan didn't know why, so the bamboo horse laughed dryly and said, "It was the son surnamed Bai who ordered me to prepare." He also specially instructed us to wait until Miss Cen had rested before sending it, so as not to disturb the girl. ā
This son surnamed Bai will naturally not be Bai Jingfeng. Cen Kexuan thought of the possible person, and his heart unconsciously felt a warmth, and he was about to say a few words of gossip, when he suddenly heard the constant noise outside, so he asked: "What's the matter with the noise outside?" ā
Zhuma said: "Miss Cen, the inn has not been very peaceful recently, and it is best for the girl to stay in the house at night, so as not to cause some trouble." ā
Cen Kexuan frowned and said, "What happened?" ā
Zhuma smiled awkwardly: "The day before yesterday, there were a few masters who lived in the dart game, and they didn't sleep in the courtyard at night, but they fought with the man in black who came from nowhere. ā
"The Man in Black?"
"Yes, the man in black, there is only one person." Bamboo horse gestured and added.
"And the result?"
"I'm afraid the man in black wants to steal the things escorted by the dart bureau......" After Zhu Ma finished speaking, he was probably afraid that people would think that his inn was not very safe, and he looked at Cen Kexuan's face and saw that she was not dissatisfied, so he grinned and said: "Having said that, but the man in black is afraid that it is...... It fell short. ā
Seeing Cen Kexuan bowing his head and saying nothing, Zhuma said again: "I said Miss Cen, the villain was very dull a few days ago, and I don't know the origin of the girl, if you say something wrong, don't take it to heart." Besides, people like Mo Yin Gongzi are with you all the way, so why should you worry. ā
This kid is a clever man after all. Cen Kexuan blinked and smiled: "So, the tea is also the Luo he asked you to send?" Zhuma looked down and realized that he was still holding tea, so he put the teacup on the table, filled a bowl for her, and said, "The girl is so resting." Then he bowed and withdrew from the house. Cen Kexuan watched the bamboo horse leave, and immediately picked up the bowl and tasted it, the first feeling was astringent, the entrance became sweet, and a fresh breath spread, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
She was holding the teacup, and Bai Moyin's figure faintly appeared in her mind, and her cheeks were slightly hot. It wasn't until a slight cough came from behind her that she finally came to her senses, put down the teacup, and turned to walk towards the bed. When Bamboo Horse left, he closed the door very intimately, only the window was ajar, the daylight was slightly slanted, and the inaccessible places in the house were slightly dim.
Cen Kexuan paused for a while, finally opened the curtain of the bed in the room, tilted his head and said, "Do you want to rob the things escorted by other people's dart bureaus?" ā
The curtain of the bed was pulled apart, and on the bed, a man in black was lying on it, with a dark black blood sword on his side, cold and dark, there were some blood stains between his sleeves, he couldn't see clearly because he was wearing black, his face was slightly pale, and he lowered his head and said nothing. She asked again, "Is that what the palace master means?" The man frowned, pressed his shoulder slightly with his hand, presumably wounded, but still did not answer.
Cen Kexuan finally said in a low voice: "Just those few people outside can hurt you?" When did your martial arts become so bad? There was anxiety in her tone. The man didn't seem to expect her to talk to him like this, his eyes showed surprise, he raised his head to look at Cen Kexuan and slowly looked away, his eyes were indifferent, and the room was silent for a while.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, and finally, Cen Kexuan sighed, squatted on the side of the bed and held his hand, and said in a slow voice: "Brother Chu Li, what's going on?" His hands, like his people, were unusually cold. I remembered that I was very afraid of him when I was young, but after so many years, I gradually understood that everyone was homeless, and they could not find their relatives, so they could only keep each other warm.
Chu Li looked at her for a long time before he moved slightly to sit upright, and whispered, "The man in black they are talking about is not me. ā
"You mean there's someone else?"
Chu Li didn't answer her, just shook his head. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "Kexuan, you'd better ...... Beware of Bai Moyin. After saying this, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, wanting to continue to say something, but in the end he gave up.
Her hand on his body almost slipped off in an instant, and it took a long time to discern the origin of this statement, and finally raised her head and asked slowly, "Why?" She suddenly remembered that before she left the Purple Cloud Palace, she had asked Chu Li curiously, do you know the legendary Mo Yin Gongzi? That was actually after she had met Bai Moyin twice, when Chu Li was sitting by the window, holding his sword and lowering his eyes, listening to her words, he turned his face and said, "Why are you interested in his business?" ā
She immediately explained in embarrassment that she had to get along with him all the way, and that it would inevitably be day and night in the future, and it was better to know in advance than to know nothing.
In fact, as soon as she said this, she found that there were many loopholes in it, and the excuse was extremely clumsy, even if she had already used the word "day and night", she didn't even mention her husband who was about to get married, which was really ridiculous.
But Chu Li didn't demolish her at that time, he quickly looked away, and said lightly: "I once heard a drunk man mention him. Cen Kexuan frowned, feeling deeply ridiculous: "Drunk people? Chu Li nodded, and then said slowly as if he had fallen into a memory: "That year happened to be the battle between the Central Plains Martial Arts and the Xiliang Pavilion, I was ordered by the palace master to investigate, and I met a young man in the post station in Shazhou, so I stayed for a while and drank wine with him all night. ā
He still remembered that the young man was dressed in a thin green coat, riding on horseback, his eyes were cold and resolute, and his hair was loosely tied up by the wind and sand, and he looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but he dared to go down from the northwest and rush to the southwest border alone, without any weapons and in the snow and cloak. The figure that was obviously thin and weak, but under the full moon, in the wind and sand, it was as strong as a cedar and as vast as a wild goose.
He said to Chu Li: "Since it is difficult to sleep, why don't you have a drink together?" ā
