Chapter 21: The Narrow Road

Li Guan's upright figure froze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I had no resentment, she immediately retorted in her heart.

For more than ten years, I have changed my name and surname to endure life, fame and fortune, glory and wealth are just a passing moment for me, not to mention that I have already seen the joys and sorrows of the world, anger and hatred are just laughing and talking, how can I be resentful?

But......

There was confusion in her eyes.

In my previous life, I was born lonely and lonely, so I naturally had nothing to worry about and let go.

But when God has made me live a new life and understand what it means to be loved in the world, why did he take them away when I thought I was happy?

Could it be that I will end up as a human being in my previous life just as bleak as in my previous life?

I'm not reconciled!

Li Wan looked up suddenly.

She looked at Master Shikong's calm and waveless face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mingkui doesn't want to, but fate is unfair, so how can I not complain?" ”

Master Shikong looked at her quietly, and there was a kind of compassion in his eyes.

"Do you know why I named you Ming Kui?"

Li Wan was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and muttered: "The sun and the moon shine, and the sun and moon shine forever." ”

"If only you understood." Master Shikong said lightly, "This is also the only thing your parents expect from you, otherwise they won't go to great lengths to entrust you to your mother." Keep these eight words in mind......"

Xun Fang hung her head and stood quietly outside the door.

The door squeaked open, Li Wan walked out in a trance, Xunfang reached out to help her, and she gently pushed her open.

"No need ......"

Xun Fang answered in a low voice and followed behind her.

Back in the courtyard where they lived, Li Guan locked himself in the room for two hours, and then suddenly ordered a few maids: "Pack up your things, let's go back." ”

Everyone didn't know why, but they still followed her words, immediately packed up their salutes, and set foot on the road back to Li's mansion.

It's twilight again, and the glow is still shining.

On the deserted side road, a dozen or so men dressed in coarse cloth and short brown rode horses, hugging two ordinary flat-headed carriages slowly.

For a moment, only the sound of the axle could be heard.

Xun Fang glanced at Li Guan, who was lying on the car window in a daze, and sighed slightly in her heart.

The young lady had ordered them to go down the mountain immediately, but when they were halfway there, they suddenly changed their minds, not allowing them to take the wide and flat official road, preferring to go to such a lonely place to take a long detour, as if they did not want to return home too quickly.

Xun Fang exchanged a look with Chu Fang, and Chu Fang smiled at Li Guan: "Miss still knows a lot, although it takes more time to take the wrong road, but the scenery along the road is usually not common!" ”

"yes, yes." Xun Fang echoed, "If you take the official road, you must worry about the people next to you, how can you be so comfortable as now, the world is big, you can go however you want!" ”

Li Wan heard the comfort in their words, his heart warmed, and he turned his face sideways and smiled faintly.

Xuan Fang proposed: "Anyway, there is no one else here, Miss might as well play a tune!" Let us all feast our ears too. ”

Li Guan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

It's so remote here, and at this time, you shouldn't meet anyone else. After Qing Yan escorted her to the Great Sky Temple, she took the people in the house back, and now the people outside are all people from Kwai Yuan, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Okay." She said, "Bring the flute!" ”

"Yes!" Xun Fang responded happily and took out a jade flute from the storage compartment of the carriage, which was the one sent by Rong Bo not long ago.

Li Wan took it and rubbed it a few times in his hand. She thought for a moment, brought the flute to her lips, and the melodious tune poured out.

"Twilight in the Distant Mountains" depicts the scenery of the mountains at dusk, and the tune is quiet and far-reaching, which is one of Li Guan's favorite songs on weekdays.

At first, the melody she played was slightly stagnant, but then she gradually immersed herself in the atmosphere created by the music, and her heart gradually calmed down, and the melody became more and more graceful and soothing.

Outside the carriage, a man in his thirties wearing brown, black, and short brown on a tall horse couldn't help but look relieved, and a young man next to him saw him and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, you can rest assured now, right?" ”

The man nodded.

He was really afraid that the young lady would not be able to turn around for a while, and they would have to spend some time on the road. In the wilderness, it's getting dark again, and it's not good if you meet a thief. Although they accompany him to protect him, he will definitely ensure that Miss is safe, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, Miss is a precious person, and he does not dare to take risks at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but listen intently to the movements around him, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual before he was relieved.

In the beautiful sound of the flute, the group hurried unhurriedly.

When Li Guan played the third tune, the carriage suddenly stopped and stopped.

The melody comes to an abrupt end.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Xun Fang lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and said to Li Guan: "It seems that the person leading the way in front has stopped." ”

Li Guan said to the carriage: "Let Zhou Guan come over." ”

The man outside the carriage should get down and ride his horse. A moment later, a deep male voice sounded outside the car curtain: "Miss." ”

"What's wrong, how do you stop?"

"The subordinates heard the sound of horses' hooves......"

Li Wan understood what he meant, there is no shop in front of the village here, so be careful.

"Can you know how many people there are?"

"People are still far away, the voice is too small, it's hard to judge ......"

As soon as the words fell, someone at the back of the convoy suddenly shouted: "Someone is coming!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the crowd heard a series of muffled horses' hooves.

Zhou Guan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rode over to take a look, only to see that behind the hill they had just walked, seven or eight people galloped on horseback. The men were uniformly dressed in black, and their faces were covered tightly by the hood of their cloaks.

Looking around, they saw that their horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, no wonder the sound was not obvious. He was stunned in his heart, looking at their dress, even if they were not thieves, they would not be ordinary people

The men had apparently seen them, and one of them shouted at them, "Get out of the way, those in front!" ”

"Stop! Stop! One of the guards shouted quickly.

The road is so narrow, they can ride horses and say, how can the carriage be so good?

However, the speed of those people did not slow down at all, and they rushed straight towards them.

"Quick! Get to the side of the road! Zhou Guan was afraid that they would rush over regardless of it and startle Li Guan's frame.

The guards hurriedly rode their horses to the side of the road, and the coachman panicked for a moment and whipped the horse's buttocks.

Li Guan sat in the carriage, only to feel that the carriage shook suddenly, and several people fell crookedly.

Her wrist slammed on the window lattice, and the jade flute she was holding in her hand flew out with a "bang", she exclaimed, leaned over to see, the jade flute fell on the rocks on the side of the road, and shattered into two.

Li Guan's heart "swished" to burst into a nameless fire.

She turned her head to look at the black shadow close behind her, and said sharply, "Stop them for me!" ”

The guards were worried about Li Wan before, so they didn't dare to move, but in fact, they all felt quite aggrieved in their hearts, and when they heard this, they immediately said "yes" with great momentum, and lined up behind the carriage, blocking it tightly.

"Stop it all!" Zhou He stood at the front and shouted loudly.

Several black-clothed people rushed over violently, thinking that they would avoid it, but who knew that they were motionless and clubbing, and hurriedly pulled the reins in shock.

Several horses neighed, and stopped five steps away from Zhou He and the others, and the horses' hooves were raised high, raising dust in the sky.

Zhou Hemian rode on the horse without changing his color, and said loudly: "Who is coming?" ”

A man in black on the left rode up and said, "Who are you waiting for, why are you blocking in the middle of the road, and get up quickly!" ”

It was their fault, and Zhou He sneered: "What a big breath!" You have rampaged and shocked my master's frame, and today I apologize for not being sincere, and I don't want to pass here! ”

"We just reminded you that you are too slow."

"The road is so narrow, how can the carriage get out of the way at once, is it possible that you are rushing over like this, trying to step on us? What do you want to do, careless of human life? Is there any royal law in your eyes? ”

"Wang Fa?" The man in black seemed to think his words were very ridiculous, "As for you, you are not qualified to mention the royal law to us!" Then he shouted gloomily, "Get out of the way immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!" ”

"Yo, how polite you are now!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the opposite side, and those who were in front of him immediately bowed down to make way for them, and an upside-down carriage retreated to the middle, and the carriage was diagonally facing them.

The curtain of the car is half drawn, and with the afterglow of the setting sun on her back, the side face of a woman can be faintly seen.

Hearing the man who was talking to them just now shouting "Miss", several people in black couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the other party was actually a girl. They hesitated a little, although it was a side road, it was close to the capital, looking at the situation in front of them, it was clear which lady's frame it was, did they really care about a woman?

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!" A man in black on the right smiled and said, "This young lady, we were reckless just now, and I apologize to you on behalf of the brothers." He clenched his fist at the carriage and continued, "I'll have something important to do, so please get out of the way." ”

In the carriage, Li Guan, who was leaning against the window, heard the words, and said nonchalantly: "Now that I think of apologizing, why did I go earlier?" Frightened my horse, ruined my flute, do you think you can just say sorry casually? She sneered, "Dream! ”

The man in black who was the first to speak listened, raised his horsewhip and pointed at her: "You ......"

"What are you!" Li Guan interrupted him loudly, turned his head and glared, his dark eyes shining amazingly in the shadows, "Which onion are you, talk to me about qualifications?" Tell your master to come out and speak, Miss Ben doesn't have time to waste her tongue with a mouthy cannon fodder! He turned his face disdainfully.

She had already seen that the two who spoke were not the main ones at all, and they were the ones who were blocked behind her in the middle.

Xun Fang next to him couldn't help but sigh in his heart, our young lady is holding her breath and has nowhere to spill, you have to bump into it yourself, you are unlucky......

The man in black was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his hand holding the reins was bruised, and the man who played the round hurriedly grabbed him.

"This young lady, we have all apologized, what else do you want?"

Li Wan didn't bother to look at him: "I said, let your master talk to me." Why didn't he come out, his heart was weak, and he shrunk his head turtle......"

"Bold! You dare to slander our country......"

"Huo Lan." A low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
