Chapter 2: The Assassins
Chun Yu Nian thought that Chun Yuchuan would urge her to set off, but she never thought that he was not in a hurry at all, but asked her to accompany him to walk around this Qingyun Mountain.
"Only Qingyun is as beautiful as the mountains and rivers that can raise a person like my sister." He laughs.
She smiled and raised her hand to pour new tea into his empty teacup, "Second brother is probably a novelty, isn't this kind of countryside everywhere?" After getting along for two days, she felt that Chun Yuchuan was a very good talker, and took good care of her, which alleviated her resentment towards her family.
He raised his hand to take a sip, waved his hand and said with a smile: "The countryside is indeed everywhere, but Qingyun is the only one, I am thinking that when I am old, I will also move to Xingzhou and Qingyun." ”
"I ......" she wanted to say that I also wanted to be old and young, but when the words came to her mouth, she realized that something was wrong, and changed her words abruptly, "The tea is gone, I'll go get some water again." With that, he got up and walked out of the pavilion.
He looked at the people who had gone to the spring to get water, and a trace of unspeakable emotion suddenly hit his heart, and finally he had to turn into a helpless sigh.
Chun Yu Nian came back from the water, and saw him standing outside the pavilion with his hands in his hands, looking at the mountains in the distance, I don't know what he was thinking, he heard her footsteps, turned back to her and said, "We will leave tomorrow, what do you think?" ”
She glanced at her brother, and actually understood why he stayed for a few more days, just for her to stay a few more days, and in addition to being moved, her heart was more helpless and sad. After all, she can't escape, but the second brother can take care of her emotions for a few days, and if she says the word "no" again, everyone will not be able to get off the stage.
"Okay." She smiled extremely helplessly, and she had the air of looking at death as if she were at home.
Seeing this, Chun Yuchuan couldn't help but touch her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, with your father and brother here, you will be safe." ”
On the second day, the brother and sister got up to say goodbye to Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan sent the two of them to the bottom of the mountain and told them to be careful on the road. Chun Yunian kept her head down, and began to shed tears from the time she went out, Xiao Zhan was helpless, patted her shoulder, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but no matter what she said, it was too pale.
Chun Yuchuan turned around, and when he saw that the person refused to step forward and turned back, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Nian'er." ”
Xiao Zhan sighed, although he couldn't bear it, he still pushed his granddaughter out and handed it over to her second brother, "There is Second Master Lao." ”
He held his sister's hand, lowered his head and said softly: "Let's go, don't be afraid, there is a brother." ”
She glanced up at him, nodded slightly, turned around and knelt straight towards Xiao Zhan, and kowtowed three times, "Grandson, farewell grandfather!" He couldn't stop crying.
She cried so much that Chun Yuchuan's heart was also faintly painful, remembering that when she left home, she was also crying heartbroken with her father's neck like this, and refused to go with her grandfather no matter how she persuaded her, and finally she was tired of crying, and she let go of her hand when she fell asleep. Later, how she got close to her maternal grandfather, who was not close, to this point, he doesn't know. I only feel that my sister's life has been hard in the first fifteen years, and she will never let her taste a trace of sadness in the future.
He clenched the hand hidden in his sleeve, Chun Yu's can't lose, at least for her!
Xiao Zhan is also reluctant in his heart, but what can this kind of reluctance do in addition to increasing sadness? He helped his granddaughter up and instructed, "Take good care of yourself, don't be too willful." ”
Chun Yunian nodded, said Grandfather take care, then turned around and got into the carriage without looking back.
……
As soon as they left the Qingzhou border, they encountered heavy rains and flooded the river, so that the boats did not dare to cross the river, and the waterway could not be walked, so they could only continue to take the land route. As a result, the official road was destroyed due to the collapse of the mountain, and the group went around to another small road, and there were no decent inns or post stations along the road, so they had to borrow and live among the farmers along the road.
"I'll wronged you tonight, and tomorrow after this mountain pass will be the boundary of Yongzhou." Letting her master and servant share a farmhouse is indeed a bit crowded.
She frowned and drank the ginger soup in her hand, and answered softly. Her body is cold, and she can't stand the cold, and she can't avoid the cold and is infected with the wind chill on this rainy day.
Chun Yuchuan saw her expression, so he didn't say anything, and told Nanxing and the two to serve the girl and went out.
Banxia waited for Chun Yu Nian to rest in his clothes, and said to Nanxing with a smile: "The second master is gentle and considerate, and I don't know if I am married." ”
"Dead girl, how old are you? It's not a shame to say that. Nanxing scolded with a smile, but felt that what Banxia said was indeed reasonable, "People are good people, but no matter whether they are married or not, they have nothing to do with us." ”
Chun Yunian raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, feeling a little funny, her second brother is really a good person, even the two girls with high horizons sighed at him, she smiled and said, "How can you not be born?" If he is married, you can either of you as concubines. ”
Hearing this, the two of them smiled even more, and Nanxing joked Banxia: "Did you hear it, the girl agreed." ”
Banxia also smiled, folded the quilt for her, and said with a smile: "I, I'd rather marry a farmer than be a concubine." ”
"What nonsense?" Hearing this, Nanxing immediately lowered his face and glanced at Chun Yunian with some concern, and Banxia realized that he had lost his words and took two steps back gloomily.
Actually, Chun Yunian didn't think there was anything that couldn't be said, her mother was a concubine, she was willing, no wonder others. What she thought was, how could she deign to be a concubine when she heard that her mother was also a noble person? What kind of person is her father, Chun Yujia?
The two saw that the master did not react, so they blew the lamp and stopped.
……
The wind and rain outside the window, coupled with her headache and nasal congestion due to the wind and cold, so she went to bed for more than an hour, and still did not feel sleepy, and suddenly heard the sound of the door being gently pushed open, she thought it was because of the wind at first, but when she saw someone sneaking into the door, she found that it was wrong.
She was horrified and scolded, "Who? ”
The assassin apparently didn't expect her to sleep, drew his sword and flew at her. She jerked the cup over the man, dodging the blow to the head, and shouted, "Nanxing! ”
Unexpectedly, the two of them did not react, obviously they were stunned, and she was spared from being hit because she did not inhale much nasal congestion.
The assassin led by the leader failed to assassinate, and the remaining two immediately rushed forward, and the three of them surrounded her together. She stepped back step by step, and felt a stick as she reached the foot of the wall. She immediately grabbed the stick and held it across her chest.
One of the Assassins was the first to strike, slashing at her with a knife, and she dodged sideways, raising her stick and slamming it at the man, right in the back. The man snorted, never expecting her to be so skilled, and the other two immediately pursued, raising their hands and cutting off half of the stick in her hand.
At this time, she had retreated to the door, opened the door and was about to go out, when she suddenly bumped into a person, who grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid." With that, he pulled her out the door.
Unexpectedly, the Assassin attacked Chun Yuchuan. The people on the other side rushed over when they heard the noise, and blocked the two of them under the cramped eaves before and after.
"Dare to ask which road is the hero? If it's for money, you can take it yourself, so why bother so much? He spoke to them, his eyes carefully observing his surroundings. A dozen Assassins surrounded them, their steel knives glowing with a cold silver glow.
Unmoved by his words, the Assassin knew that he was weak, and immediately attacked as soon as the blade turned.
He pulled Chun Yunian sideways to dodge, kicked the person away, and immediately choked the head, with a force on his hand, the man's knife fell into his hand, and was opened by a heavy blow to his elbow. got the weapon, he regained some initiative, but he had to protect Chun Yunian, and it was not easy to show his strength.
And Chun Yunian seems to have seen this, the other party is so powerful that if he keeps hiding behind him, he is afraid that both of them will have to die here. Suddenly, a person rushed towards her, she raised her foot and kicked it to the ground, broke free of Chun Yuchuan's hand, put down a person with a roundabout kick, bent down to avoid the knife that should be chopped, and hurriedly turned over into the rain, picking up the weapon of the person who was killed by Chun Yuchuan just now.
Chun Yuchuan was shocked, thinking that she had been dragged away, but suddenly turned around and saw that she was standing in the rain with a long knife in her hand. He didn't care about the people next to him raising a knife to cut at him, and immediately ran towards her in three steps and two steps, protecting her behind him, "Don't come nonsense, hide behind me." ”
The rain poured down, drowning out the sound of hand-to-hand combat. Chun Yuchuan held her hand tightly, kicked over the oncoming person, and landed with a knife to solve two, and in a blink of an eye, most of the assassins were killed and injured. Seeing that the situation was not right, they didn't want to entangle with Chun Yuchuan anymore, so they held the knife in their hands tightly, and all the killing moves greeted Chun Yunian.
Chun Yuchuan saw that the assassin was coming at Chun Yu Nian, and tightly protected her by his side, and the assassin could not get close to her, and the blades naturally fell on him. The warm blood splashed on her face, and it was immediately washed away by the rain, but the temperature seemed to burn her. She suddenly looked up at the knife that was about to fall on him, and suddenly became angry in her heart, grabbed his shoulder, kicked the person out with a flying kick, snatched the knife from his hand, and slashed left and right like a red eye, forcing the remaining two into a dead end.
The two of them had been seriously injured before, and at this moment, they were even more powerless to fight back in the face of pure thoughts like killing gods. They clenched the hilts of their swords, intending to fight the trapped beasts, and lunged at her. There was no fear on her face, but there was more disgust between her eyebrows, her wrist flipped, and she drew her knife and slashed at the man's face, only to see that the man's face was cut open with a bloody wound, and fell straight back.
The rest of the man, knowing that he could not escape, picked up the knife and tried to kill himself. Chun Yuchuan's eyes were quick, and he immediately stepped forward and kicked the knife in his hand off, stepped on his chest, and said sharply: "Say, who sent you?" ”
The man sneered, glanced at Chun Yunian, and looked at Chun Yuchuan with a frown in the blink of an eye.
"I said I could spare your life!"
The man stared at him deadly, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Chun Yunian frowned, deeply puzzled, and after thinking about it, he immediately shouted at Chun Yuchuan: "He wants to bite his tongue and kill himself!" ”
Hearing this, Chun Yuchuan immediately let go of the person, but it was too late, he had already bit off his tongue, and a big mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth.
Chun Yuchuan squatted down to probe his snort and neck veins, and when he learned that this person was hopeless, he stood up rather angrily and checked if there were any living mouths around. Without exception, all were killed on the spot.
"Second Brother ......"
Chun Yu called him, he remembered it, and hurriedly asked her, "Are you hurt?" ”
She shook her head and pointed to his slashed arm, "Let's go inside and bandage it." ”
"It's okay, you go change your clothes first, I'll wait for you outside the door." As he spoke, he picked up a knife and held it at her side.
She watched the surroundings vigilantly, and only went back to the house to change clothes after noticing anything unusual.
