Chapter 20: Let's Ask How Deep Is It (1)
I sat in the shade of a tree and read the "New Song of Yutai" boredly, the sunlight shining through the mottled branches and shadows on the pale yellow pages. Thanks to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, even in the winter of the year, the leaves of the trees do not completely fall off, and the evergreen trees are still verdant, although I have never seen snow, I think this colorful winter is extremely beautiful.
Sure enough, in Gangnam, everything is the most beautiful at any moment.
I thought of Li Jiancheng's words, and I had a sweet smile in my heart.
"Master?" But Yin'er came over, "What's the matter, are you thinking about Master Li again?" ”
"Miss him? Why should I think about him? Don't you see that I'm reading seriously, don't bother me. ”
"Don't want him? Don't want him, so what is this? Yin'er pulled out a delicate food box, "I saw you sneaking around in the kitchen a few days ago." Sure enough. ”
"Hey," I said, reaching for the box. Because of his weak heart, he didn't use martial arts, and he couldn't succeed for a while, so he had to say, "You say it again, and then I'll tear your mouth and then where you hit and where you go back." ”
Yin'er returned the food box to me boringly, but said: "Who is rare about you, Sect Master Duan, the life I spent at Miss's place is something that ordinary rich daughters can't wait for." ”
"Feed you." I glared at her with a grimace.
"Don't worry, I've seen no one before." Yin'er said indifferently, "But look at you, this little daughter's happy appearance in the kitchen, are you the Duan Sect Master of Megatron Jiangnan?" Are you the beautiful girl of the brocade? ”
I ignored her and continued to read my book absentmindedly, and now the kitchen is not because Li Jiancheng said "natural" that day, as if he was really looking forward to it.
Anyway, after Le came to the restaurant that day, that Tuge actually relied on me with a dead face. begged me to take him to see the famous places in Jiangdu, but he couldn't get rid of it. First, Li Jiancheng and I must check his details, and secondly, this guy is indeed a wonderful person, so this trip to Jiangdu can't be saved. But usually, I just take him to visit famous places, or to discuss some piano skills and maintenance methods, most of the time, Li Jiancheng and he race horses and shoot with him. There are few prey in Jiangdu in winter, but it is not completely absent, which is increasing the difficulty and fun of hunting, which seems to be very suitable for their taste. However, I have never been interested in riding and archery, so I just waited for them in the same place every time, considering what Tug said that day and Li Jiancheng's reaction, I painstakingly studied some delicious snacks to make for Li Jiancheng, and by the way, I gave a few pieces to Tuge. When I was young, I was greedy, and I ate a lot of good snacks in the imperial kitchen of Mengshezhao, so I tried hard to restore it, but the effect is good, hehe.
Having said that, Tug is indeed not a simple character, every time he competes in riding and shooting, he is on par with Li Jiancheng. Although Tuge was born in a nation on horseback, Li Jiancheng also has Xianbei blood, and as the eldest son of Tang Gong, he has been immersed in the army since he was a child.
But this is none of my business, at the moment I just want to take care of my Jiangnan, even if I want to dominate the black in the north. Dao, then Li Shimin led me away, if I really want to jump up and down among the warlords, I don't have that interest.
"Miss Duan, I always feel bored with you every time." Li Jiancheng came back first, carrying the prey from behind.
I handed him the food box, turned around and boiled water on the stove to make tea. I never told him that I made these dim sum myself, but the ingenious style and taste, and the craftsmanship that is more refined every time, Li Jiancheng should know it.
The delicate food box is divided into four compartments, and the four-color dim sum is never the same each time, I don't know if it is the same as his mind. I looked up to see his expression.
I found that he didn't touch the snack, just looked down at me with a smile.
Momentary shyness and embarrassment, I hurriedly lowered my head to continue boiling water, but Li Jiancheng squatted down: "You don't like sweets, but you like the fragrance of flowers and fruits, especially the light fragrance of flowers." ”
In a declarative tone, before I could reply, a piece of plum cake was delivered to my mouth.
The flour is soaked in plum blossom juice, and the shape is also made into the shape of plum blossoms, which takes a lot of thought, and I really like it. I reached out to pick it up, but Li Jiancheng got out of the way. Then he smiled and handed it to me.
I instantly understood what he meant, and I blushed, but I ignored him, just lowered my head and cooked tea.
Li Jiancheng still didn't relax, but after a while, I didn't care, so I had to beg for mercy: "Miss, my hands are very sore, can you pity me?" ”
It was rare for me to hear Li Jiancheng's aggrieved tone, and I couldn't help but laugh, raising my eyes to see his handsome and gentle face, the man's unique Du Ruo fragrance was clear and good at this extreme distance, and the pair of jade-like warm eyes made my heart move even more.
In the end, I still ate the plum blossom cake with his hands, and I felt that I had put too much sugar, it was really sweet.
Li Jiancheng is a real gentleman, there is no superfluous action, seeing that I am reading "Yutai New Song", he and I discussed the poems and songs for a while, and soon Tuge also came back, I looked at the prey in his hand, this time it was comparable.
So the two of them disemboweled their prey and washed their bellies, and I felt disgusted when I looked at them, but both of them felt that the craftsmanship of the subordinates was not as good as their own, so that they also did it themselves. Li Jiancheng's craftsmanship is very good, and this time he roasted a pheasant for me as usual. I unceremoniously took it and set off.
At this time, I heard Tuge say to Li Jiancheng: "Brother Li, it's not a matter if we can't tell the winner like this, why don't we compare in another way?" ”
"How do you compare?" Li Jiancheng flipped over the second pheasant and listened with interest.
"Next time, how about shooting at night?"
At night? Shooting and hunting in the dark?
"At night?" Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, "I've never hunted at night, Brother Tuge's mention is wonderful." ”
After that, they talked about various political and commercial topics from what they saw in their respective hunting, and I sat quietly on the side holding a cup of fragrant tea, looking at the warmth in Li Jiancheng's eyes from the inside out, and I felt so happy.
Counting the days is almost the end of the year, and when it comes to the real New Year, everyone will be extremely busy, so in just a few days, people from Li Jiancheng's mansion came to invite, saying that Tuge sent an invitation.
At that time, Bai Zhuo was reporting to me on various financial matters, and said that some gangs in Hedong had shown favor because their family business was bought out and collapsed, and now that the funds were cut off, they refused to collect protection money at this juncture to provoke the government, and all they could think of was to rely on the Qingming Sect on the rich side.
"White Chief, you should go and find out who it is. Even if someone helped me by mistake, I have to know who to give this favor back. With that, I waved everyone away, entered the inner room, and began to meditate. After the end of the new year, it will be dark immediately. Dao Dabi, improve the skill can not be sluggish.
Guan Ju swordsmanship is an art, which emphasizes not only the gorgeous beauty of the sword moves, but also the strong strength and smart thinking of the sword, and the breath of all things in heaven and earth when practicing, so as to cultivate one's own aura and temperament, and finally achieve the unity of man and sword. Therefore, Guan Ju's swordsmanship, flying flowers and picking leaves can be used as swords, and everything in heaven and earth can be controlled by a strong enough qi. And the highest level is to have a sword in your heart, gather your energy into a sword, and use the ubiquitous air as a ubiquitous sword, but there is no sword in your hand.
After the day of Qi Xing, it was already sunset, so I went into the kitchen again and began to study the dishes this time.
After a few days of hard work, a decent four-color snack was finally prepared in the evening. Yin'er came in to pack up for me, I looked at Yin'er in a gorgeous dress, my heart moved slightly, thinking of the outfit that even Yuanji was so amazing that I couldn't speak when I first saw Li Jiancheng, I couldn't help but say: "Yin'er, let me see the women's clothes." ”
"What?" Yin'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Girl, your old man is going hunting, why are you wearing a skirt, and besides, it's all a big night, and it's inconvenient to move." ”
"What hunting, I don't go hunting. Besides, with the martial arts of this sect leader, what is inconvenient about wearing a skirt. "I have made up my mind, so naturally it is not so easy to change my mind, so Yin'er has to open the wardrobe to accompany me to choose.
Finally, a set of gold and silver thread hundred butterflies wearing flowers and dark pattern cloud brocade skirt was selected, with a white daze, and a seven-treasure gold hairpin on the sideburns.
I looked at the fair lady in the mirror, and even I was amazed.
Yin'er cleaned up the dressing table and said happily: "The sect leader's men's clothes are already gorgeous, and a little dress up will naturally captivate the country and the city." ”
I smiled silently, specially called a carriage, and went to the foothills of Yangshan Mountain in the south of the city to meet Li Jiancheng first.
When the carriage stopped, with the sound of the skirt brushing the ground, I brushed the curtain and fell to the ground, and under the light of the torches I saw everyone hazy but deeply surprised.
Including Li Jiancheng.
But for a moment, his eyes turned back to his deep, gentle smile.
We left the brigade of guards at the foot of the hill and only called a few guards to follow up the mountain. Along the way, I deeply felt the difficulty of moving because I hadn't worn women's clothes for too long, but Li Jiancheng seemed to take more care of me.
Sure enough, you should wear women's clothes in the future.
"Tug won't recognize you when he sees you dressed like that." Li Jiancheng spoke first.
"It's okay, you can't recognize it, just punish him with a meal of wine and meat." I lifted my skirt and replied nonchalantly.
"Who do you think, you say? My wife? ”
I suddenly raised my eyes, but because the light was too dim to see his eyes, in the hazy moonlight, I could only see his gentle outline, the boundary was blurred as if to melt into the dissolving moonlight, turning into a swirling magic well to bewitch me. His voice pierced through the air, and the moment it reached the ear drum, it seemed that the air around me had froze, and I could barely breathe.
I chuckled, "Madam? What she brought out at this time was naturally the girl under the Tongque Pavilion. ”
Li Jiancheng seemed to move the corners of his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything after all. I saw the mist in his jade-like eyes, quietly disappearing, and something slowly disappeared.
So we were all silent on the mountain road after that, and Li Jiancheng also walked in front of me from a parallel caring posture. However, he still carefully explained to me that the road ahead was as smooth as possible, avoiding my hard work of one foot deep and one foot shallow.
I silently watched his back, purple clothes and gold crown, Guisuke**.
Suddenly, the mud under his feet didn't feel right, and a thought flashed between the lightning and flint.
"Be careful."
"Be careful."
Li Jiancheng and I slapped each other in unison, and we also retreated sharply due to the situation.
But after all, it is not as fast as the steel plate that rushes out of the ground.
We were trapped, and the two of us were trapped in a tower-shaped structure by four steel plates that had been rushed out of the ground. I touched it, and it was dark iron.
And there were countless holes in the steel plate, and from the holes, I saw nearly a hundred black-clothed men rushing towards this side in two groups with spears and swords, and I instantly understood what they were going to do.
I only heard someone outside shouting: "Kill." ”
