Chapter 80: Departure
Tang Guxi put away the letter, wiped the corners of his eyes, picked up the lantern again and stood up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she turned around, looked at the two people approaching, with a ruddy smile on her face, and asked without waiting for them to arrive, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" It would be great if you could really find Brother Bingfeng's antidote in a foreign country! To put it this way...... You two have seen Brother Bingfeng before? β
Lin Luo nodded: "We know that you and Chen Gongzi are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship, so we ......"
"That's why I want to try to save him!" Lin Xun took the lead and glanced at Lin Luo lightly, "Miss Tang, you won't ignore your Bingfeng brother, right?" β
"Of course not." Tang Guxi said, "It's really rare for you to have such kindness...... If I can save Brother Bingfeng, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I am willing to take risks and will not give up! What's more, it's with you. She dodged her gaze twice, and looked away from them.
"By the way, you said that you would teach me martial arts, as well as your Lin Sect's exclusive swordsmanship!" Tang Guxi suddenly looked bright, and collected Fang Cai's sadness in his chest, "Don't regret it!" β
"Of course. It's just that it's late today, and she has to hurry tomorrow, so Miss Tang won't want to practice swordsmanship in the snow, right? β
"Seeing that she's so impatient, maybe she wants to practice in the snow." Lin Xun sneered at Tang Guxi.
"Thank you Lin Shaoxia for raising up!" Tang Guxi glared at him viciously, and turned to Lin Luo, "Since you are going to teach me martial arts, then...... You are equivalent to my second master, how should I call you? Well...... Little Master? β
"Poof-" As soon as the words came out, Lin Xun smiled dumbly, he looked at Tang Guxi, and then at Lin Luo, and said while laughing, "Little Master...... Haha, little master, sister, sister, your title is really good......"
Tang Guxi's face was purple, and he glanced at Lin Xun, "What about the little master?" I don't worship you as a teacher. β
"Sister, sister, do you like it? Little Master...... Hahaha......" Lin Xun clutched his stomach and laughed breathlessly, not noticing the warning expression on Lin Luo's face, he laughed arrogantly, completely defenseless. Unexpectedly, when he was laughing, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his abdomen, opened his eyes vigilantly, looked down, and saw Lin Luo's two fingers fall on his waist, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
"Ouch, it hurts......" Lin Xun was really hurting this time, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "It hurts, it hurts, sister, be merciful!" You...... You're murdering your own brother! β
"Lin Shaoxia, what are you shouting, your sister didn't touch you." Tang Guxi stepped forward and said indifferently.
The pain was still breeding and spreading, Lin Xun opened his eyes slightly in disbelief, and sure enough, he found that Lin Luo's fingers had long been lost on his waist, and at this moment she was looking at him silently and expressionlessly. But the sour pain still remained in his waist, as if the acupuncture points were still blocked.
"You've been very rampant lately, and the master said that you can't show mercy when you should teach a lesson." Lin Luo looked at him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly.
Lin Xun cried with a sad face, lowered his head, and muttered to himself: "No wonder I didn't have a seizure all day, I was waiting for me here......"
Lin Luo ignored him anymore, turned to Tang Guxi and said, "You just call me Lin Luo, the word 'master' is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't afford it." β
Tang Guxi smiled: "Okay, everything is up to Master!" Oh no, wooden. Seeing that Lin Luo seemed to be smiling, she said: "Since it is an apprenticeship, then naturally 'worship' is indispensable, and next, you have to accept my worship." As she spoke, she smiled and lifted the hem of her skirt to kneel.
"Hey, Miss......" Before she could bend down, Lin Luo's outstretched hands held her and stopped, "Did Miss forget?" In the mountains and forests before, you have already worshipped. β
Tang Guxi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "But that time doesn't count, not to mention that the two of you still worship me." β
Lin Luo smiled lightly, still pressing her hand to prevent her from kneeling, and shook his head again.
Seeing that she was so resolute, Tang Guxi couldn't say anything more, so he put down his skirt and straightened up, and said, "Since you don't call you Master anymore, then you don't need to call me Miss Tang anymore, why don't you just call me by my name?" Moreover, since I am leaving Sheng Ge, then I will no longer be the young lady of the Tang family, and I am really uneasy when you call me so. β
"Well, that's true!" Lin Xun suddenly turned around, but his hand was still on his stomach, "You have already called us by name, we are all equals, and we can be regarded as friends, so we can't call you anymore - Miss, right?" β
"Master, your brother's stomach doesn't seem to hurt anymore." Tang Guxi said to Lin Luo quietly, glanced at Lin Xun lightly, turned around and walked over, "It's not too early, I'm going back." β
She gradually walked away with the lantern, Lin Xun looked at her back, and said with a smile: "Sister, you see, she has learned to move out of you to threaten me." If there is another dispute between the two of us in the future, I really don't know if you are towards her or your good brother. β
"I am a good disciple of mine." Lin Luo smiled wickedly at the corner of his eyes, and turned around to leave.
Lin Xun hurriedly followed, "Did you just notice that she seems to be wearing something around her neck." β
"It's the wooden pendant."
"You...... Do you see that? β
"I've seen it since she came out of the sedan chair." Lin Luo said softly, "I'm just wondering, Mrs. Tang must have kept the pendant, I had never seen her wear it before, and now she was married to her." You say, Mrs. Tang, do you know something? β
"Well," Lin Xun nodded, "I'm also wondering, since Madam Tang doesn't want anyone to take her daughter away, then she should destroy all the items from more than ten years ago." The token in the swaddling clothes is clearly intended to be kept as a memorial or certification, Tang Guxi married out of the Tang Mansion today, but put the pendant on his body, this move must be Mrs. Tang's meaning. β
"Maybe." Lin Luo suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Lin Xun solemnly, "It stands to reason that the bride is missing, and someone should have come to find her a long time ago, but until now it has been calm, don't you think it's strange?" β
Lin Xun was slightly stunned and asked, "You mean ......?"
"There must be a reason for Mr. Zou's help, but ...... According to the power of his two families, it is impossible not to send a soldier to find her. According to the speculation just now, Mrs. Tang must have expected this, but she did not take precautions, let alone send someone to chase after her. And Gongsun Rong, according to his temperament, it is even more impossible to sit idly by. Unlessβ"
"Unless Gongsun Rong also knows?" Lin Xun was taken aback by his thoughts, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot.
Lin Luo shook his head slightly, "Probably not." In my opinion, that Gongsun Rong must have accepted his fate......"
"Resignation? What does my sister mean by this? β
Lin Luo pondered for a moment, she wanted to say something but it was blocked in her throat, she looked at Lin Xun, and suddenly had no desire to say, so she said: "It's not too early, go back and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow." With that, she looked at the small light in the distance ahead and walked over.
Lin Xun stood behind him and shook his head, seeing that she didn't mean to explain, and it was inconvenient to ask more, he looked down at his abdomen, and whispered, "I was really ruthless just now......"
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and the world after the snow presented a crystal and exquisite scene, the trees were covered in silver, the sky and the earth were made of pink and jade, the air was clear, and the light was bright.
The three of them packed up, packed their luggage, and rode on horseback. After bidding farewell to the two elders of the Zhao family, they tightened their legs and clamped the horse's belly hard, and the three horses jumped up their hooves and stepped over the vast white snow. The courtyard of the Zhao family behind him gradually shrank, and in front of it was a translucent and magnificent snow scene of Mianshan Mountain, and on the edge of the glowing sky, a layer of white mist seemed to rise, making it like a dream, as if it were nothing.
"Drive! Horse, you have to run well and overtake the white one in front! Tang Guxi clamped the horse under him, held the reins tightly in his hand, and locked his eyes directly on Lin Xun, who was galloping not far ahead, "Quick, fast, surpass him!" β
"Haha, Tang Guxi, you can't catch up with me if you practice for another hundred years!" Lin Xunhuan's voice came from the front.
"Don't speak too soon!"
As the sun grew stronger, the snow melted a lot from the ground, revealing the green grass and the uneven land. Taking advantage of the good time, the three of them were not in a hurry, so they climbed up the mountain by the way. There is still snow on the mountain, and most of the mountain roads are dirt roads, which does not affect the climbing.
When they dismounted, they grabbed the reins, tied them to a clearing on the mountainside, and then went forward. In front of him is a sunny flat land, from which you can see the territory of the Liangyu border, but it is too far away and vague. At this time, facing the sun, the open space was warm, and the three of them came to the end of the clearing, and lay down one by one, and an endless clear sky appeared in front of them, and down was a deep lake thousands of feet away.
"Grove."
"Huh?"
"Where is your home?"
"Xizhou."
"So we're going to Weststate?"
"First to Jiuqin, and then to Xizhou."
"Why?"
"Because Jiuqin is the seat of my Lin clan's sword sect!" Lin Xun replied with a smile, "You don't understand this, my father is from Jiuqin, and my mother is from Xizhou." At the beginning, my mother insisted on staying in Xizhou, so my father complied with her wishes and settled his home there. But on the Red Mountain of Jiuqin, it used to be the place where my sister and I practiced martial arts since childhood. β
Tang Guxi nodded thoughtfully: "I see." After a while, he said, "Then you two, why did you come all the way to sing?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Guxi saw that the people on the left and right were silent, so he turned his head to look at them, "What are you doing here to sing?" It can't really be to bet on darts with Huang Jiang, right? Speaking of this, she was suddenly startled, sat up and said, "By the way, after you arrived in the north, did anything happen?" Who is the person who picks up the goods there? β
Lin Luo's gaze swept over her lightly, and said, "The one who received the goods...... is a vendor. β
"Vendors?" Tang Guxi exclaimed, "How could it be......
"I said Miss, don't worry about it, there's nothing going on in the north, otherwise we won't be able to come back safely." Lin Xun squinted at her and said leisurely.
Seeing that Tang Guxi was still pondering with a suspicious face, Lin Xun and Lin Luo glanced at each other, then got up and sat up, pointed to the vague mountain scenery in front of him and said, "Look, after that mountain, it is the Liangyu Country!" β
Hearing this, Tang Guxi pulled out of his thoughts and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
"Before going to Jiuqin, you must stay in Liangyu for a while." Lin Luo also sat up and said lightly, "In Liangyu, we have to take something." β
"Something?" Tang Guxi turned his head, "What's it?" β
"A jade talisman."
"What's that?"
"That's the ...... of the past," Lin Luo paused and glanced at her, "That's the Jade Seal of the Southern Kingdom that once perished." β
Lin Xun hurriedly explained: "My mother is a native of the southern country in the old days, and she was once entrusted to give up her life to take care of the jade seal. But it was left behind by mistake to Liangyu. β
After listening to the words of the two sisters and brothers, Tang Guxi became more and more confused, and asked again: "But where is the jade seal?" β
"In the palace of King Liangyu."
"What!"
"You don't have to be afraid." Lin Luo said, "At that time, we will not implicate you, let alone let you take risks with us." After arriving in the capital of Liangyu, someone will pick us up, and then we will live in his house for a while, during which we will find an opportunity to enter the palace. Once we get the jade talisman, we can leave Liangyu. β
Tang Guxi was still stunned, and gasped: "Lin Luo, Lin Xun, you two are crazy!" Yes, I know that you are strong in martial arts and can do anything, but that is in the palace of King Liangyu! Can you go if you want to, and go if you want? At that time, I am afraid that before you get what you want, you will not be able to set foot in the imperial city. β
Lin Luo and Lin Xun glanced at each other and smiled softly.
"I'm telling the truth, what are you two laughing at?"
Lin Luo didn't answer, got up and stood up, looked around at the vast scenery, turned his head and said, "It's time to go." β
