Chapter 13: Farewell to Lingyang
Chapter 13: Farewell to Lingyang
Return to the inn. Yao Qingshu and Zhang Ruyue still didn't understand why Luo Xiaotian didn't want to know more information, so they hurried back.
Luo Xiaotian stood by the windowsill and looked into the distance and thought.
"Senior Brother Xiaotian. Did you get some clues there? I'm confused anyway. ”
Zhang Ruyue only knew that the village scared her, and she didn't know if Luo Xiaotian had asked for useful information.
"Xiaotian, what's next? Where can I find your mother's relics? Yao Qingshu looked at the pensive Luo Xiaotian and asked.
Luo Xiaotian turned his head and looked firmly at the two who were still puzzled.
"Go to Kyoto! The answers are all there! ”
After careful consideration, Luo Xiaotian was sure that someone was trying to win over and organize the young people of the captive village, and they were planning activities to threaten the Nanyu Imperial Court. This is what Ah Chuan said about revenge, after all, it was the Nanyu court that captured them from the north to the south.
During this long period of exile, some people even lost their families and wives. Nanyu can't tolerate them, Beiwei doesn't accept them, these emotions of injustice, killing, and pain are concentrated, what kind of deep hatred and hatred.
However, the young people of the captive village alone cannot be organized by themselves, and there must be someone behind them who is silently manipulating everything. The manipulators behind the scenes take advantage of the revenge of the captives' descendants and gather them under their doors and train them to be dead soldiers. This can be seen from the black-clad man with the captive tattoo on his head yesterday.
Therefore, only by finding the mysterious organization first can they further obtain the specific whereabouts of their mother's relics, and they can also know why they are interested in their mother's relics.
Luo Xiaotian couldn't wait to see the truth - what secrets were hidden in that black box? How much does that mysterious organization know about mothers?
……
In the attic of the Bei'an Palace. Zhao Susu stood alone by the windowsill and looked at the gate of the palace, like a sunflower waiting for the sun to appear, for that ray of sunlight, she was already deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself...... Just like the plot in the shadow puppet play, she is now yearning for the appearance of the demon slaying boy, and then bringing the handkerchief girl to the end of the world together.
With a "bang", a flower pot by the window behind Zhao Susu fell to the ground, and she was so startled that she hurriedly looked back.
A window door opened, and a head poked out from the outside, and a man jumped in.
"How are you? How did you get in here? ”
Zhao Susu's expression was full of surprise and surprise.
The person who came in was Luo Xiaotian, and a kind of magic drove him to try his best to sneak into the palace, just to see Zhao Susu.
"I'm sorry to drop your flowers. Next time, remember to put them somewhere else, lest I not pity the jade. Luo Xiaotian looked at the broken flowers and said with a smile.
Zhao Susu hid her face and giggled, and said, "Who let you climb through the window to come in, you just don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”
If a man says something wrong in front of a woman, she will definitely say yes, even in the world in Luo Xiaotian's memory, it is just as difficult to find the truth. Therefore, love throughout the ages is called right and wrong.
"How hard it is to meet you. This high-walled and deep courtyard has patrolling internal guards. It's like a scene from Romeo and Juliet. ”
"What Romeo and Juliet? Is it also a shadow puppetry? It seemed that she was already fascinated by Luo Xiaotian's play, and asked.
"It's a stage play, and it's also a love story. The man's name is Romeo, and the woman's name is Juliet. ”
"Is this also your story? Who is the girl surnamed Zhu! Zhao Susu said a little angrily.
"It's a work by Shakespeare, and it has nothing to do with me. There is no girl surnamed Zhu, only a girl surnamed Zhao in my story. Luo Xiaotian hurriedly explained.
Zhao Susu's face was crimson, and her eyes were hurried. said coquettishly: "You are flamboyant, Miss Zhu will definitely not like you." ”
Luo Xiaotian laughed and said, "Miss Zhao doesn't dislike me, Juliet is Romeo's." ”
"You said this is a love story, can you tell me about it?" Zhao Susu asked.
"It's a tragic love story, do you want to hear it too?"
"Then what happened to Ou Gongzi and Miss Zhu? Is it finally separated? ”
"No, they will be together forever and ever, until death."
Hearing Luo Xiaotian say this, Zhao Susu became more interested, and the more he wanted to know the end of the story. Pulled Luo Xiaotian to sit on the edge of the bed together, to listen to him finish the story.
Since the beloved girl wants to listen, Luo Xiaotian will tell "Romeo and Juliet".
Since meeting Luo Xiaotian, Zhao Susu has become more and more eager to understand the world beyond her. As a royal nobleman, she had long been disgusted with those dogmatic etiquette. Instead, she saw a different world in Luo Xiaotian, and her imprisoned thoughts were taken off the reins.
As soon as the story was finished, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and it stopped at Zhao Susu's door.
"Sister, sister! Are you in there? "It turned out that Zhao Yuanxi came to find his sister.
"It's not good, Yuanxi is here!" Zhao Susu hurriedly said.
Luo Xiaotian hurriedly got up, took Zhao Susu's hand, lowered his head and touched it with his lips, and then kissed her forehead again while she didn't come back to her senses. Zhao Susu's face was like a peach blossom, flushed, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"It's Romeo's way of showing respect to Juliet, I'm gone! I'm going to go on a long trip for a while, and I'm going to come back. ”
After speaking, Luo Xiaotian walked to the window, glanced back at Zhao Susu, and jumped out with a turn, leaving only Zhao Susu still by the bed.
The door was pushed open by Zhao Yuanxi at this time.
Zhao Susu came back to her senses in shock and said sharply to Zhao Yuanxi: "Little cub, is this how you entered a girl's boudoir?" ”
"Sister, I used to come in like this to find you, what's wrong today?" Zhao Yuanxi was puzzled by his sister's words, and then looked at the open window and said, "Sister, I seem to have seen someone go out from here." ”
"Shut up, you're dazzled, my sister has been in the room, why didn't you see it." Zhao Susu scolded his younger brother sharply to relieve his psychological tension. "What are you looking for me?"
"Daddy said that there was something to ask you to explain, it seems to be grandma's birthday."
"Got it, I'll go over right away." When Zhao Susu heard that his father was looking for him, he hurriedly got up, remembered something, glanced at the window, and said to his younger brother: "Move this flower pot away!" ”
"Sister ......"
Zhao Yuanxi didn't know why, he wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't dare to speak when he saw that his sister was staring back at him, so he had to obediently move the flower pots.
Luo Xiaotian, who left the palace, returned to the inn and packed his luggage to prepare for Kyoto.
The reason why I took the risk to meet Zhao Susu was also so that I could say goodbye to my beloved girl before leaving, because I don't know how long it will take to come back when I go to the capital this time.
……
The next day.
Luo Xiaotian took a guide and his carriage, and the group began their journey to Kyoto.
When he walked out of the city gate, Luo Xiaotian glanced back at Lingyang City behind him. The bits and pieces of the past twenty years have flashed through his mind, but Zhao Susu's voice and smile have always lingered in his heart. What he didn't know was that Zhao Susu was also looking at the balcony at this time, full of hope.
A few hours later, the group had already left the boundary of Lingyang City. This was the first time Luo Xiaotian had left this place, and he couldn't help but sigh a little when he turned his head and looked back at the past again. But his exclamation is not nostalgia, but nostalgia; Not sadness, but hope.
In addition to the inevitable sighs, the scenery along the way was full of interest, and the three of them laughed and chatted all the way.
"When I get to Kyoto, I want to have a good time, it's the capital of Nanyu. Ha ha! ”
Zhang Ruyue was so excited that she had already begun to plan her trip to Kyoto. For a girl's family, what could be more attractive than buying, buying, shopping, and shopping.
"Little junior sister, let's go to find Xiaotian's mother's relics, where can we have leisure and fun." Yao Qingshu joked to Zhang Ruyue. Then asked Luo Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, do you have eyebrows about this matter?" Where are the descendants of those captives, how can we find such a big capital? ”
"When we get to Kyoto, let's go to Master's old house first and settle down. There is no way to open the box left by my mother, it can't be opened by brute force, and that kind of metal is not even afraid of high temperatures. So, there's no need to rush. ”
"And- there's someone who can help us!"
Luo Xiaotian seemed to have made up his mind, and his words revealed a determined look.
After Yao Qingshu heard Luo Xiaotian speak, he realized that his junior brother had already had a plan, and he was much relieved. After all, his junior brother has been searching for his mother's clues for 20 years, and finally got the only item left by his mother, so he is naturally worried.
Zhang Ruyue, who was outside the situation, was enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides, her eyes lit up, as if she suddenly remembered something, and turned her head to the two senior brothers and said, "Are you hungry?" I brought food here, and the elder brother bought it with me last night. ”
It's okay to have a little junior sister by your side, and you can worry about the two big men at any time - are you hungry, are you cold...... Don't be afraid of starvation and cold, and wronged yourself.
"Let's stop and get a bite to eat." Luo Xiaotian said.
"We're going to stop!" Zhang Ruyue shouted to the guide who was driving outside the car.
The carriage came to a wide, flat spot and stopped. The three of them got out of the car and prepared to eat something before leaving, so that the horse could rest for a while. Zhang Ruyue arranged the food, and several people sat around to eat, and the bumps on the road just now were very comfortable at the moment.
Where to park, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. The sunlight casts on the ground from the gaps in the branches and leaves of these towering trees, and the occasional wind blows in, which is also refreshing and refreshing.
Just as a few people were still in the dining room. A thick cloud of smoke and dust rose from the distance of the road, spoiling the cosy atmosphere, followed by a dense sound of horses' hooves. Following the prestige, a group of cavalry was galloping towards the black press, the black iron armor on their bodies rattling, glowing with a cold light in the sunlight.
