Chapter 79: Why Wait
Ah Xiu twisted a few times in Xiao Yanning's arms, Xiao Yanning had no choice but to put her down, and as soon as the little girl landed, she ran behind May. May protected her.
Xiao Yanning smiled indifferently: "Boy, what are you looking at?" Want to kill me? ”
May clenched her fists and stiffly closed her eyes from him, but those eyes were full of anger.
Xiao Yanning narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and stopped talking. When he left Jinling City, a sloppy fortune teller gave him a two-word proverb - to build momentum.
Those who build momentum may not gain power.
But he doesn't regret it, he didn't do it for power in the first place.
Ah Xiu hid behind May and poked her head out to look at Xiao Yanning secretly, the little girl's eyes suddenly widened, she seemed to feel something emanating from Xiao Yanning's body, a faint sadness.
The little girl snorted and couldn't help but shout, "Don't pretend...... Isn't it really sad...... It's a big deal, and I won't let you pay me a big cow. ”
Xiao Yanning came back to his senses and glared at her: "What do you mean to be sad?" ”
The little girl couldn't say it, but she obviously felt that Xiao Yanning was very sad and sad just now......
Many years later, Hengxiu, who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world, still thinks of this scene all the time, remembering that he stood in the alley with his hands in his hands, looking up at the sky with a somewhat stunned appearance.
Tanabata. Murong Yunheng was led out by the monk named Li Xuanzong and did not return for a long time. Princess Xunyang yelled that she was uncomfortable and rested early.
There are only two people in the courtyard, Rao Tu and Shen Zhu, Rao Tu prepared Qiaoguo, lotus pod, white lotus, and red ling, which were full of them on the table in the courtyard, and Shen Zhu saw that she was threading needles to the moon, so he took a pu fan to fan her.
Rao Tu said: "In my hometown, the Qixi Festival is a very important festival for girls, on this day the girl has to thread a needle to the moon, in order to pray for the Weaver Girl to give skill, or catch a spider, put it in the box, the next day to open the box if the web has been knotted is called Qiao. ”
Shen Zhu said "um", "Those are all girls who are not yet ten years old, what are you making a fuss about?" ”
Rao Di was about to thread the thin thread into the eye of the needle, when she heard such a choking sentence, her hand shook, and she didn't put it in again. She slapped on the table and looked at Shen Zhu angrily.
Shen Zhu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I don't pay for it, I was wrong, Madam forgive me." ”
Rao Tu snorted coldly: "Who is your wife, the Tanabata that you will say...... Deceitful! ”
Shen Zhu took her hand, "I don't lie to you, come with me." ”
Rao Tu was inexplicably pulled into the house, Shen Zhu pointed to the two red candles standing there at some point on the table, and said in a low voice: "I'll light the candle, you go cut the candle." ”
Rao Di's heart moved, and she glanced at him, "Just these two red candles, you want to buy me?" ”
Shen Zhu took out three red books from his arms and sent them to her. Rao Di took a look, and the top one was brand new, but the other two were crumpled and soaked in water, and she couldn't see what was written inside.
She opened the brand-new book, and couldn't help but blush in front of her, there were no fancy words on the booklet, only eight words, "Shen Zhu Xu Yu, forever knotted." "It's very different from a normal marriage book.
She looked at the two crumpled red booklets and was silent.
Shen Zhu said slowly: "Both books were soaked in water, which was the previous two. After going through many changes, I realized that on the marriage book, what kind of temperament is soft and what is a perfect match...... It is better to tie the knot forever and concentric. ”
Rao Tu held back tears and said: "Who asked you to keep the previous marriage book, and you are embarrassed to take it out!" As he spoke, he also took out a bag from his arms, fell into his arms and said angrily: "See for yourself, I'm waiting to save the third one!" ”
Shen Zhu untied the bag and pulled out two crumpled pieces of paper with long blurred handwriting, although he couldn't see what was written on them, he knew that they were two letters of resignation. He lit the red candle and lit the two letters of resignation on the red candle fireworks, burning them to ashes, reflecting Raodi's tearful eyes.
He said softly, word by word, "There won't be a third one." ”
Rao said: "Who said that there would be no one, and I should write the third one." ”
Shen Zhu looked at her and nodded very seriously, "Yes." ”
Rao Di also burned the two crumpled marriage books, leaving only the new one, and muttered: "This kind of thing, one is enough, and it is ...... to marry, marry, marry, mar
Shen Zhu cupped her face, dropped a kiss on her smooth forehead, and said softly: "Yes, one book is enough." Ah Yu, you have promised to marry me, and you will always be my wife for the rest of your life. ”
Rao Tu leaned in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, since he came back, she could clearly feel his pulse weak, but now she listened to his heartbeat, and it was beating with great determination.
How far away it is forever may be at a certain moment in time. How long a life is, maybe it's just a few unforgettable moments.
This night is the night of Qixi Festival, she only feels extremely complete, but she forgets that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl parted after this night, and what awaited them was a long year of seeing each other. And for countless days and nights in the future, she could only repeat one sentence over and over again: "If this love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" ”
On the second day, Shen Zhu didn't wake up, or he slept for a long time.
Murong Yunheng had no way, and neither did the monk Li Xuanzong.
Rao Tu screamed hoarsely: "Why? Why so fast? Didn't he say that the double cultivation of the Daomen could save him? ”
Murong Yun was silent, the development of things exceeded his expectations, "Shen Zhu's pulse is no different from usual, it's just ...... It's just that there seem to be two forces in his body right now, competing with each other...... I...... I don't know ......."
Rao Di stayed by Shen Zhu's side for three days, and on this night, Lu Zhiming, who came back from visiting immortals in the East China Sea, came to the moon, and Lu Zhiming lost ten years of cultivation and revealed a heavenly opportunity to her.
Half of July, Halloween.
Xiao Yanning stood on the city of Hanzhong and looked into the distance, a person on the post road came on horseback, the horse's hooves raised countless dust, her body was wrapped in a murderous aura, and she stopped in front of the city gate and looked at him.
Xiao Yanning waved off the crossbowmen pointed at her, went downstairs to open the door, and welcomed her into the city.
"Let me meet the children." ”
Xiao Yanning looked at her covered in dust, this time he didn't smile, his heart was stung by her almost desperate eyes, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Shen Zhu?" ”
Rao Di shook her head: "He...... He's going to be fine......"
Xiao Yanning's eyes became more and more blurry, he was about to lose sight, and paused, "What do you want to do?" ”
Rao Di came to Xiao Yanning's mansion, pushed the door into a room, looked at Hengwen Hengxiu who was asleep, she pulled Hengxiu's little finger out of her mouth, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth for her, and pulled up the small quilt for Hengwen to cover her belly.
Xiao Yanning stood calmly on the side, he could barely see clearly, but he could hear Rao's soft sobs.
After a long time, Rao came out of the room and gently covered the door. Xiao Yanning grabbed her arm, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Rao Di almost had a begging tone, "Please, take care of Hengwen Hengxiu...... May, and May. ”
Xiao Yanning shouted in a deep voice: "What the hell are you going to do? ”
Shen Zhu ...... Shen Zhu is dying, I'm ........."
Xiao Yanning was furious: "You won't be martyred for him, right?" I tell you, don't expect me to take care of your children. When I die, the world will be stirred into a puddle of muddy waters, and Hengwen and Hengxiu will either die early in the troubled times, or be a slave and a prostitute......"
Rao Di slapped him in the face, "I'll let you take care of Hengwen Hengxiu, if you can't save it, I won't let you go!" ”
Xiao Yanning was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched his cheek, "You like to be a ghost so much?" ”
"I'm not going to be martyred, I'm just going to save him, I'm just going to save him...... I can't be around him, or even stand against him. I'm going to do a dangerous thing, and I'm destined to be displaced, so I can't take Hengwen Hengxiu with me, you...... You have to keep an eye on them......"
Lu Zhouyue woke up quietly and came to the courtyard to look at the two of them in surprise. Rao Di stepped forward and held Lu Zhouyue's hand, "Sister, please help me take care of my two children, at least five years, at most seven years, I ...... I'll come to you. ”
"Where is my sister going?"
Rao Tu hurriedly said: "You promise me, okay?" ”
Lu Zhouyue nodded stiffly, "You...... Don't worry, I will treat them as my own flesh and blood, and when the child in my womb is born, as long as I am alive, the three children will definitely live well. ”
Rao Tu hugged her and wept, "Thank you, sister." ”
A teenager's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Auntie? ”
Rao Tu looked back and saw May, who was wearing a thin middle coat with a faint worry in his eyes. "Where is Auntie going?"
Rao Di stepped forward and rubbed his head, "May, accompany me to the shop to get something." ”
In May, as Rao Tu walked through the clean streets, there was no one in front and behind. Rao Di looked back at May who was following her, "May, you have grown up, the first time I saw you, you are so small, so pitiful." But now, you can also take on your own responsibilities. ”
May stepped forward and walked side by side with Rao Tu, "If it weren't for my aunt, May would have died a long time ago." ”
Rao Tu smiled slightly: "Actually, you are Xiao Yanning's younger brother, and we are equals." ”
May shook her head and said stubbornly: "I am not Xiao Yanning's younger brother, and I am not the Xiao family. I...... Hengxiu and I are the same generation. ”
Rao Tu entered the shop, and she took out a sandalwood locket and took out two things from it. One is the jade seal of the old Xishu heirloom country, and the other is a white jade hairpin with a warm texture.
She sent the jade seal to May's hands, "You take this jade seal with you, if you can't change your fate, then I hope that you will be the one who can win in the end." ”
May shook her head and said, "I don't want it, this jade seal won't recognize me as the master." It...... It's Hengwen's, Hengwen's stuff, I don't rob it, I help him. ”
Rao said: "I never hoped that Hengwen could get these things, I only hoped that you could protect him for the rest of his life." She didn't expect that May usually doesn't say anything, but she hides her thoughts in her belly, and there are many things that he doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to say.
May hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the jade seal, "I'll help Hengwen save it." ”
Rao Tu relaxed slightly, held his hand and said: "You must promise me to take good care of yourself, even if you don't have any relatives in this world, but Hengwen Hengxiu They grew up with you, they are your closest people." ”
May said firmly: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Hengwen Hengxiu." Aunt...... Where are you going? ”
Hearing his words, Rao Di's eyebrows stretched a little, and she said softly: "I don't know where to go, it's always ...... Go and do something bad. Hengwen and Hengxiu only know that my name is Xu Yu, don't tell them that Rao Tu is me, because of this name...... It will be hard to listen to later. ”
May was silent for a moment and said softly: "No matter what my aunt wants to do, I believe that my aunt is a good person and the best aunt in the world." ”
Rao Tu smiled and didn't speak.
May asked, "You will come back to us in seven years, right?" ”
Rao's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said firmly: "Yes!" ”
May nodded, got up and looked at the sky outside, and he sighed: "At this time, Tongchuan City has changed the sky, right?" I have met a lot of powerful people, including Uncle Shen in the East China Sea, the gentle Mr. Lu, the powerful Murong Mountain Lord, and the ruthless Xiao Yanning, their martial arts are all very powerful, but all of these people together are not as good as Lord Shen. Because Lord Shen can work for the people of the world, it is worth it for my aunt to meet such a person. ”
Rao's face changed slightly, she couldn't imagine that these words came from the mouth of a ten-year-old child, and she couldn't believe that this child's mind was so mature. But she is relieved, because May is not a blind pursuit of power, he has a bottom line.
She felt that Shen Zhuzeng's 10,000-character statecraft policy left in Gushuzhou had worked, and this was the first thought she instilled in this child.
She patted May lightly on the shoulder a few times, "May, my aunt left Hengwen Hengxiu, I was originally ten thousand worried, but after listening to your words, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about." You just need to remember that in some ways, Xiao Yanning is actually a good person, you don't want to go against him, in fact, sometimes he is very good to you. ”
May nodded incomprehensibly and returned to the palace with her.
Xiao Yanning stood at the gate of the palace, and he said to May: "Go in first, I still have something to say to your aunt." ”
May looked at Rao, who nodded at him, "Go ahead, wait for me to come back...... Hengxiu loves to cry and eat, don't always get used to her. ”
May entered the palace step by step. Xiao Yanning sighed, sat on the stone steps of the palace, and beckoned to Rao Tu, "What are you doing standing, come and sit down." ”
Rao Di walked to Xiao Yanning's side and sat down, Xiao Yanning looked up at the sky, "Say, who gave you the crooked idea?" ”
"You know what? Buddhism has King Kong, Taoism has immortals, and Confucianism has saints. Rao Tu also looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, and the stars were dim.
Xiao Yanning nodded: "I heard Lu Zhiming say that he said that Shen Zhu wants to live, unless he becomes a Confucian saint." For hundreds of years, there are very few Confucian saints, Confucius and Mencius are the sages, and after Zhu Dasheng, the world's scholars rarely see Haoran. ”
Rao said: "But Shen Zhu, Mr. Lu said that he has a heroic spirit. ”
Xiao Yanning sighed: "Could it be that if you leave Shen Zhu, he can quietly enter the sainthood?" Have you ever wondered if he would like to? ”
"I know he doesn't want to, but...... But now he is unconscious, and the two qi in his body collide, if neither of them is damaged first, to the point where both are lost, he ...... He won't live. ”
"What two gas engines?"
"I stole the Qin Tianjian Half-Tongued Daoist's Li Dai Taozhuang's technique and transferred the vitality in my body to him, and that vitality disappeared inexplicably a few days ago, and then he fell unconscious. Mr. Lu said that the vitality stimulated the vitality in his body, and although it triggered the vitality, now the two qi machines are competing with each other, and one is the other. ”
Xiao Yanning frowned, "Which one or the other?" Does he have to disappear for him to live? ”
"No, it's ...... It's for me to stay away from him, and even do some bad things to ruin my luck, so that he can survive......"
"What bullshit!" Xiao Yanning was slightly angry, "Lu Zhiming cultivated, could it be that he came up with such an inexplicable idea?" ”
Rao Di shook her head and said: "I believe in Lu Zhiming, there are indeed many mysteries in this world, you also saved me when I was about to die, and you also practice martial arts, you should believe in the theory of qi and machine, it is not a vain." ”
Xiao Yanning was silent for a moment, and said: "Although Lu Zhiming's idea is not very similar, but to be honest, it is quite in line with my liking, I just can't get used to seeing you and Shen Zhuqingqing and me, it's just ...... Are you really going to kill people and set fires to ruin your luck? ”
Although it was not a taste to listen to him, Rao Di patiently explained: "I try to control it as much as possible. ”
Xiao Yanning snorted, "Then you must be long-hearted, don't wait for Shen Zhu to be ready, you will hang up again." ”
Rao asked, "Why do you always look at the sky?" ”
"Tonight, in the seventh and a half months, I'll see if there are any ghosts walking at night."
"Demons crawl out of hell, what do you think of the sky?"
"What do you want to see, what's wrong? Do I have to stare at you? You don't look in the mirror, a face is gray, and it's sad to look at. ”
Hearing this, Rao Di dispelled the doubts in her heart, and no longer confronted him like before, and said, "You also take care." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the city.
Xiao Yanning shouted behind her, "If you want to kill someone, go to Jiangling City, where Mr. Mingqi intercepts the Great Liang army." ”
Rao Di didn't speak, gritted her teeth and walked out of Hanzhong City ruthlessly, several times she wanted to go back to see Hengwen Hengxiu again, but she was afraid that when she saw the two children, she would never have the courage to move again.
It was her child, flesh and bone that fell from her, how could she be so ruthless!
Xiao Yanning sat on the stone steps in front of the palace, and he gently repeated her sentence, "You also take care." ”
He really wanted to see her face again, to see her smile, her anger, but he couldn't see it, his eyes were completely blind, blind, and he was not far from death.
He took out a sachet from his bosom and sniffed it in front of his nose, it was an old sachet that he bought from a young girl on the bank of the Qingzhou River more than ten years ago.
At that time, the young girl's name was still Xu Xuan, and she was clean and green in cloth. A woman is weak, what made her change from a young and unsophisticated girl to a firm and forbearant girl?
In an instant, so many years have passed, and he suddenly feels that it is worth it. Yes, it wasn't a very accidental meeting, it was worth it. In his life, he never got what he wanted, when he was a child, he wanted to stay away from the palace with his mother, when he was young, he wanted to avenge his mother, and now he wants to get a promise from her...... He didn't get anything.
Now because of the sentence "You take care", his heart, which has been empty for many years, seems to have been suddenly satisfied, and it turns out that he wants so little. He got up and said softly, "I took you here because I wanted you to be my princess." Rao, Xu Yu, who allowed you to go? ”
Rao Tu turned over and looked back at the towering and tall Hanzhong city wall, this city wall has become majestic and magnificent in her eyes, and now, she wants to walk out of this city.
She was going to Jiangling, to kill the town army of Daliang, and to Jinling, and to cut off the head of the person sitting on the dragon chair in Jinling City. That man's torture of her beloved in a floating dungeon, she wants to get it back!
In July, the entire temple of Daliang began to shake. Xiao Yanzhong, the king of Western Shu, was killed by Xie Tangyan, the envoy of Western Shu, and 50,000 old soldiers of Western Shu occupied Tongchuan and bowed to Xiao Yanning in Hanzhong.
The Daliang town army was ambushed on the Jiangling waterway, 70,000 soldiers lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and a plain-clothed woman crossed the river with a reed and overturned a boatload of sailors with a bamboo pole.
From that day on, the whole Jianghu knew the name Rao.
It is said that when Xiao Yanlie heard that Xiao Yanning had two strategists under him, the Yang conspirator Ming Qi and the conspirator Shen Shi, he covered his chest and shouted three times, "Why is it still surnamed Shen?" After that, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yanning firmly controlled the military lines of Hanzhong, Jiangling, and Tongchuan, and within two years raised troops to move eastward, approaching Wudang Mountain in Hubei, with millions of troops, and the confrontation with Daliang was east-west.
At that time, it was five years of Jingyun.
This night, Xiao Yanlie woke up in the palace, his eyes were dull and he looked at the Yingluo tassel on the side of the tent, he was in a state of disgrace, and suddenly walked barefoot to the outside of the dormitory, not allowing the attendants to follow.
He stood on the empty verandah, looking at the dark mountains in the distance, the mountains with a deep sense of oppression, as if Xiao Yanning's million-strong army was moving towards him all the time.
He coughed a few times and coughed out a mouthful of blood, he thought, maybe one day, Xiao Yanning's army would run over him and crush him, the Great Liang Emperor, into dust.
When he was still Prince Yu, he never thought that there would be such a day, when his father was seriously ill and took him to Shen Mansion in the snow, what kind of scenery was infinite at that time? But after becoming the emperor, how could there be so many fears. If so, he would rather never be born in the royal family.
A woman's cold voice appeared behind him, "Prince Yu, long time no see." ”
Xiao Yanlie didn't turn his head, he knew who the person was, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is a woman in the rivers and lakes who said that she would take my life this month, ...... Here it comes. ”
"Yes, I'm here to kill you."
He smiled: "Back then, my father told me that Shen Zhu was a person who would first help the dragon and then slay the dragon. It must be reused first, and then it will be cut off,"
"So, I'm going to kill you."
