Chapter 17: Longhu Speaks of the Past
A fire burned the Xin family, and Nuoda's house is now only a piece of scorched earth. Neighbors passing by the wreckage would always point fingers and talk about the wreckage.
"How can you say that such a big house will burn down when it burns?"
"Those two couples I know, they are very good people, and they are very kind to people, why did they suddenly suffer such difficulties?"
"I heard that a boy they adopted many years ago did it, as if it was for money."
"You say this guy is a little too wolf-hearted. People were kind enough to take him in, but he took revenge for his kindness. Pity this couple, they really raised a white-eyed wolf. ”
"Not really. I heard that I killed the old man because of the robbery at that time, and later I was arrested and imprisoned with a grudge, and ran out to kill the old lady, afraid that people would be held accountable, so I burned the house and fled. I don't know where to hide now. ”
"It's so scary, good people don't have anything to report. That boy is so gracious that he will definitely die a good death. ”
"That's it."
The crowd talked for a while and gradually dispersed, but they didn't know that there was a scorched wall, and Li Fengying could hear it clearly in the courtyard. He wanted to rush out and tell the wrinkled, ringing and dazzling mothers-in-law that he was not a murderer, nor did he take revenge, and he was framed. But he knew that even if he did, the only response he could get would be the appearance of those old and dizzy mothers-in-law screaming and begging for mercy, and it would not help him to wash away his sins.
"Isn't it good to die?" Bong Young laughed miserably and curled himself tighter.
It was raining slightly, and Bong Young reached out to take a few drops in his hand, staring at the water droplets in his hand for a while. He's been curled up here for almost a day. Now that the sun is setting, the sky is getting dark, but the good news has never been waited.
"I don't know where my sister is at this time." Feng Ying took out the hair that contained Yunjin's sister in his arms, but accidentally brought out the shocking pendant that Qianmo gave him.
Seeing the pendant, Feng Ying's shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and he seemed to see a naughty girl lying in front of him, holding a straw, crossing Erlang's legs, and his shoes drooping on his feet and quipped at him: "Stupid, do you miss me?" ”
"Of course I miss you." Li Fengying suddenly smiled, and was about to reach out to hug it, but he hugged it empty, fixed his eyes and looked again, but there were only cold walls and damp soil.
"I'm really hysterical." Li Fengying shook his head and smiled. "Qianmo has already left Chang'an. How could it be here? ”
As he said this, he put the bag containing Yunjin's hair on the pendant and carefully put it back in his arms. "You two have similar playful personalities, and if we meet, we will definitely become good sisters."
'Whoosh! The sound of the sharp weapon breaking the wind was clearly audible, and it came from instinct, and Bong Ying's whole person shot up. Draw your sword between the lightning and the fire. I only heard a sound, but it was a feather arrow tied with a note that was blocked by the Shocking Sword and stuck obliquely in the scorched earth on the side.
Behind the scorched earth ruins in the distance, a dark figure flashed away.
Feng Ying didn't have time to ask who the man in black was, stretched out his hand and pulled out the feather arrow, took the note in his hand, and when he spread it out to read, it was a text written in small letters:
'Kill ten people, break a city. There is a woman in the east of the city, nameless, known as Dou Niang, the home of a merchant. Ten days later, the bamboo forest outside the city, with its head, exchanged for Yunjin tokens. At that time, the name and surname of the second person will be notified. ’
There is another paragraph written below, but it is not the same person's own, but I saw that it was written below:
'With the sword of shock, he went to the yamen to eliminate his own case record, ten heads, ten stories, one city, and one person. Once you're done, you'll know where you come from. ’
"My background?!" Seeing the word life experience, Feng Ying couldn't help but be shocked. He was an orphan and was raised by his grandfather, but as for his own life experience, his grandfather never talked about it, so he still doesn't know it. Where he and Yunjin came from, and whose children they were, they didn't know at all.
"How would he know?" Li Fengying frowned slightly. "You're a guest..."
"Who the hell is he?"
The next day, Henan Province, Jiacheng County.
On Fallen Dragon Lake, a painting boat is leisurely. A girl snuggled up to the bow of the boat. She watched the lake ripple, but her face was always covered with a dark cloud. If it weren't for the fact that he had seen it before, no one would have believed that the sentimental girl in front of him was once a troublemaker on Chang'an Street.
This girl is Qianmo, and when she said goodbye to Fengying that day, she and Pei Guangyi and her party went straight to Jiaxian, intending to discuss important matters at this meeting. The streets were mixed, and in order to hide people's eyes, they agreed to meet on this Fallen Dragon Lake.
The Fallen Dragon Lake is thousands of acres wide, and it is connected to Huaishui in the west, which is a local scenic spot. According to legend, in ancient times, the gods and demons fought, the double dragon made chaos, the god will mount the white dragon exhausted and died, the dragon body fell here, knocked out of the deep pit, after the passage of years, gradually accumulated deep water, the emperor of the previous dynasty felt this story, then launched the national strength, took the Huai water into the lake, and had this fallen dragon lake. It is said that if you are boating on it in rainy weather, you can faintly see the figure of a white dragon in the water, and there is no way to verify the truth of the rumors, but this fallen dragon lake has been passed down like this.
"I wonder what happened to that fool?" Qian Mo looked at the lake and muttered.
"Still thinking about that silly boy?" A kind voice sounded behind him. Qian Mo turned around, but it was an old man with gray hair.
"Uncle Luo, how do you know I'm thinking about someone?" Seeing that it was Uncle Luo, who had grown up with him, Qian Mo hurriedly ran over to support him and said with a smile: "Is Brother Pei talking bad about me behind my back again?" ”
"You little devil." Uncle Luo lightly knocked on Qian Mo's head and said with a smile: "Do you still use your big brother Pei to say?" You've got everything written on your face. After a pause, he said: "Qianmo has grown up, it's time to find a home, I just hope that when the time comes, I don't have a child like his mother, go crazy all day long, one Qianmo is enough for everyone, but don't come to a little Qianmo." ”
"Oh, Uncle Luo, you're laughing at me again." Qian Mo pouted and said, "Qian Mo won't play with you anymore." As he spoke, he was about to walk into the cabin, but he was meeting everyone who came out of the cabin, and Pei Guangyi was walking in front of everyone, and when he saw Qianmo, Pei Guangyi asked, "What, did you make Uncle Luo angry again?" ”
"No, no." Qian Mo stuck out his tongue, then slipped out of the cabin around the crowd, and when he went down, he didn't forget to turn his head and blink and stick out his tongue, causing everyone to laugh.
"It's like a little kid." Someone in the crowd laughed: "It's crazy, don't mention it's a headache." ”
"I still remember the last time I climbed the tree and couldn't come down, and I cried all afternoon holding the tree, but I was rescued by Brother Pei."
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed, and the cabin was filled with joy.
"Uncle Luo." Pei Guangyi stepped forward to support the gray-haired old man in front of him. "People everywhere are already ready, just waiting for Chang'an Neiying to reply. But we don't know who will answer us when the time comes? ”
"If you want to say that this person also has some friendship with your father." Uncle Luo squinted at the lake and said: "That person was originally the old department of the prince, and after the incident of Xuanwumen, he was defeated and killed, and all his relatives were sent to Yuanjiang. ”
"Since this person is dead..."Pei Guangyi frowned slightly, "But how can he help us?" ”
"That's a coincidence." Uncle Luo said with a smile: "The general's clan is dead, but he privately handed over a Fengyue woman. In the past, he was afraid of damaging the reputation of the prince, so he never told outsiders, but who knew that he saved his life because of this. Although the woman fell into the dust, she was a chaste martyr in her bones. Hearing that her sweetheart had been executed and that all the clans had been sent to the army, she was full of grief and resentment and had nowhere to vent her resentment, so she joined my disciple, hoping to avenge her heart one day. Over time, I learned her nature, so I took care of her, taught her how to make a living, and then secretly supported her to set up a contact point in Chang'an, make a lot of friends, and help us in the future. Now the time has come, with Jianghuai colleagues outside, and Chang'an Haoyou inside. The two-pronged approach will definitely overthrow Li Shimin, a shameless villain. ”
"I see." Pei Guangyi nodded and said, "But I don't know who that woman's surname is?" ”
"Nameless." Uncle Luo shook his head and said: "It's just that the general's surname is Dou, and this woman followed the general's surname, and now in Chang'an City, people call her Dou Niang." ”
