Chapter 80: Seven Years of Rivers and Lakes
Xiao Yanlie's expression suddenly became hideous, and a Tianluo pounced down, and more than a dozen lightly armed guards surged from all directions like bats.
Rao's body leaned diagonally almost to the ground, and he pulled out the rune dagger with one hand, and the blade of the rune cut into the Tianluo net, which was actually made by Jinggang, and the rune slashed, making a sharp sound like a knife cutting iron and stone.
Rao Tu turned to slicing the tendon of one of the guards with her knife and slid diagonally out of the gap, her feet folded and tapped a few times, and she fluttered lightly on a glazed cornice on the stone railing of the verandah.
She looked at Xiao Yanlie with a sneer on her face, and there was undisguised sarcasm in her eyes. It was as if the person in front of him was not the emperor on high above, but a beggar who needed her life for alms.
Xiao Yanlie's face sank like water, his hands were on the railing, and he suppressed his anger and said softly: "Rao, what do you think I am in this Jinling Imperial City?" What do you think I'm wearing in a yellow robe? ”
Rao Tu stood on the cornices lightly, and the whole person seemed to be fluttering in the wind, and her plain clothes were flying. She stretched out her hand to tie a knot with her flying clothes, held the green silk on her head with a white jade hairpin, and said quietly: "I enter the palace like a corridor, and I will take your life like a bag." ”
Xiao Yanlie's eyes revealed a bit of viciousness, he waved his hand, and there was a fire under the city tower, but when he saw the torches moving, thousands of people were gathered under the high pavilion of the dormitory. The dozen or so lightly armed guards threw down the stainless steel and fell into the net, drew their delicate bows and crossbows from their waists, and pointed them at Rao Tu in unison.
In an instant, more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew together, shooting straight at the vital point of Rao Di's body. Rao Tu raised her foot and stepped on a crossbow arrow, grabbed three crossbow arrows from the air with two hands, and the whole person suddenly came to Xiao Yanlie's side like an arrow off the string, and put the three crossbow arrows in his hand against Xiao Yanlie's neck.
Everyone was stunned, this woman's speed was incredible, how could there be such a terrifying martial arts in the world?
But they all forgot that in the past, the old Confucian Nangong Rumu of Qin Tianjian had an only grandson named Nangong Yiwu, and his light skills were unparalleled in the world. Rao's light skills are what he taught.
Xiao Yanlie was pressed against his neck, and he suddenly laughed a few times, "Okay! Good! What are you doing in a daze? Shoot this woman to me! ”
Rao Tu pushed the arrow of the crossbow arrow into his flesh, and the blood beads immediately came out and dipped into the collar of the yellow robe.
His Excellency's Praetorian Guards shouted "Your Majesty! "The crossbowmen didn't dare to shoot arrows, but they were afraid that if they hurt the emperor, they would have no place to bury the nine clans.
Rao Di shouted coldly: "If any of you dare to take a step forward, Xiao Yanlie's neck will immediately have three more blood holes!" ”
Xiao Yanlie was furious like thunder, but the acupoints around his body had been sealed by Rao, and he couldn't move, and he couldn't even speak.
Rao Tu looked at the red sky outside the imperial city, remembering the scene of being surrounded by Xiao Yanlie's dead soldiers in Yinjia Fort that year, her eyes reflected the fire in the sky, and whispered in Xiao Yanlie's ear: "The prince is mediocre and incompetent, do you know why the old emperor fell in love with you?" ”
Xiao Yanlie couldn't speak, and his face was flushed.
Rao sneered: "Because you are the most obedient." However, often the most obedient people, the most incompetent. ”
A fast horse broke into the imperial city, and the guards on the horse were hit by several arrows, and shouted hoarsely: "300,000 rebels are pressing the border, and the city gate is ...... The gates are broken......"
His Royal Highness's Praetorian Guards were suddenly in chaos, and the look in Xiao Yanlie's eyes was obscure, and he suddenly turned his head away and crashed into the arrow in Rao's hand. Blood was splashed everywhere, and this mediocre emperor, in such a tragic way, bid farewell to the remaining half of the Great Liang.
……
A hundred miles outside the city. On a dirt hillside, Xiao Yanning was riding on horseback, although he couldn't see anything, but he was still facing the burning Jinling City, smiling unscrupulously.
Shen Zhu, who was dressed in a green shirt and hairpin, stood next to him, his eyes were shining, and he didn't speak.
Xiao Yanning finally laughed enough, turned over and dismounted and muttered, "At dawn, take me to the imperial city." Xiao Yanlie's life is yours, I just want it...... I'm going to burn that imperial city! ”
Shen Zhu clenched his fists against his lips and coughed a few times: "In the past, in the Afang Palace, the Chu people were burned, and the scorched earth was pitiful. Now does the prince want to follow the example of King Chu? ”
Xiao Yanning laughed fiercely, "I just want to burn the foundation of the Xiao family, my mother is buried here, but they have been dancing and singing here for so many years, I just want to burn it clean!" Hehe, when Prince Yu ascended the throne five years ago, did you ever think that I, a sick man who was chased like a dog, would actually come back! ”
Shen Zhu shook his head lightly: "Whether Xiao Yanlie is dead or alive, or worry about the prince's decision." ”
Xiao Yanning smiled slightly, "What, you don't hate him?" ”
"Naturally, it's hate, but I never came back to kill him."
"Report-" A small pawn rushed over, "Lord Wang, Emperor Liang is dead, and the imperial city in Daliang has been broken without attack, and it is in chaos." ”
Shen Zhu frowned slightly: "How did you die?" ”
"It was killed by a woman."
Shen Zhu changed color when he heard this, turned over and rode towards the city, the city was scorched and bloody, Shen Zhu tightened the reins of the horse, there was anger in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ah Yu, this time you dare to run again...... I...... I ......"
Xiao Yanning whipped and followed behind Shen Zhu, he had been blind for two years, and he had already learned to listen to the wind and distinguish shapes. On the royal road full of corpses, I saw a head hanging from the Xuanwu Gate from a distance. Shen Zhu frowned and reined in the horse, looking at Xiao Yanlie's head, which was still dripping with fresh blood.
Shen Zhu suddenly became angry, dismounted and looked around, how could there be a shadow of Raodi? He shouted, "Xu Yu! You come out for me! Come out for me! ”
On top of the towering city wall, Rao Tu hid in a dark corner, listening to his furious voice, and clutched blood out of his palm. Shen Zhu screamed a few times, and suddenly covered his chest and coughed wildly.
Xiao Yanning dismounted and supported him, "Shen Zhu, what kind of nerves are you having!" ”
Shen Zhu pushed him away and looked at the city wall, and he muttered, "She's right next to her, just nearby, ...... Send someone to find it! So saying, he himself ran toward the wall, but after only a few steps, he collapsed to the ground, curled up, and fainted.
Xiao Yanning frowned, faced the city wall and asked, "Rao, is it you?" ”
Rao Di stood up against the city wall, looking at the unconscious figure on the ground, she burst into tears.
Xiao Yanning couldn't see anything, but he could feel her presence, and he shouted, "Raodi! ”
Rao Tu wiped her tears fiercely, turned around and left, and her figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
After she left, the heavy feeling of pressure in Shen Zhu's chest disappeared, and he woke up slowly, calling out "Ah Yu" endlessly. Xiao Yanning helped him up from the ground and said softly, "She's fine." ”
Shen Zhu sneered, "Is it good?" He suddenly smashed his fist on the ground, blurring the flesh and blood of his fist, and said hatefully: "She can even do the assassination of the emperor, she is really good!" ”
Xiao Yanning frowned and said coldly: "She has a hard time!" ”
Shen Zhu pushed him away, "Is there any, you don't have to defend her!" ”
Xiao Yanning was pushed to the ground by him, stunned for a moment, raised his hand slightly, and muttered, "I may ...... It's really going to die......"
He didn't have the slightest strength in his body, and he would be pushed down by Shen Zhu, a sick and weak person......
In the Yin Valley of Eastern Wu, there is a purple dress who goes out of the valley alone.
Purple clothes are blind, and his name is Zhenlong. She has been closed in the valley for five years, and now it is time to leave the valley.
Lu Zhiming led the horse to wait at the mouth of the valley, and Zhenlong smiled at him, "Mr. knows the time." ”
She didn't say punctuality, she said knowing the time. Lu Zhiming said softly: "A game of loose chess, waiting for you to arrange." I'll send you to Jinling City. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Lu Zhiming hesitated slightly, and stretched out an arm for her to support.
Zhenlong shook her head, "No. She fumbled for herself to touch the armrest of the saddle, and turned over and got on the horse very smoothly. Lu Zhiming smiled casually, "The girl is very skilled. "Hold the reins of the horse and lead the horse for her.
Zhenlong smiled: "Mr. Lu, do you plan to lead the horse to Jinling for me like this?" Please come on board and come with me. ”
Lu Zhiming was originally an informal person, but in front of this blind woman in purple, he always paid extra attention because he was not familiar with each other. Hearing Zhenlong say this, he was no longer bound by the number of etiquette, turned over the horse's back and held the reins of the horse, and walked in the direction of Jinling.
A few days later, when we arrived at the Xuequ Ferry, it was already dark, and fine ice particles were floating in the sky. It's already the beginning of winter.
The two entered an inn near the Xuequ ferry, Xiao Er opened the door, the smell of wine was suffocating, and the hall was crowded with tourists from the rivers and lakes, red clay stoves, and staggered plans.
As soon as Lu Zhiming saw this posture, he knew that the room in the inn was full. Xiao Er said: "Childe, there is only this inn around here, the wind and snow are coming, it is better to come in and hide from the wind and snow, and drink some hot wine to warm up." ”
Lu Zhiming nodded, he sensed a fierce aura in this hall, and couldn't help but cut into the corner near the window, and saw a cold and familiar back. He smiled slightly, and helped Zhenlong to walk over, and there were two empty benches near the cold woman.
She covered her face with a light veil, but the pair of peach blossom eyes exposed outside the light veil, Lu Zhiming was very familiar.
He nodded at her and sat down next to her. Rao Tu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhiming and Zhenlong, and said softly: "There is snow in Xuequdu, and it is biased towards Jinling." ”
Zhenlong didn't know who it was before, but now when she heard her voice, a faint smile appeared on her face, she fumbled and raised the teacup, drank the hot tea in the cup, and said: "In the cold night, it is good to have a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
Lu Zhiming refilled Zhenlong with tea and asked Rao Tu, "Have you seen him?" ”
Rao nodded her head, "He still can't meet me." The tone of his speech was just a light and faint statement, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, as if he was saying an extremely ordinary sentence.
Lu Zhiming stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see your pulse." ”
Rao Tu shook her head, "Good." ”
Lu Zhiming sighed: "The one in Jinling City, even if he is destined to have bad luck, is also orthodox. Slaying the dragon will be detrimental. How can it be good? ”
Rao Tu smiled: "Isn't it just going to be damaged? ”
Lu Zhiming's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Don't go too far!" ”
Rao Tu smiled indifferently, "Mr. Lu, don't be angry, I know how to be measured." ”
At this time, a group of people around the center of the main hall applauded, as if talking about something exciting, and everyone was in high spirits. Rao Tu narrowed her eyes, only to hear a lean man in the center of the hall wearing a rat skin and a gray hat in a low voice, "Guess what Na Rao Tu said at that time? ”
"What words? Say it quickly! Everyone said urgently.
The thin man coughed deliberately, and said slowly: "I enter the palace like a corridor, and I will take your life like a bag." ”
Someone in the crowd snorted a few times, "This woman is really bold, why is she so arrogant!" ”
"As the saying goes, the master of art is bold, if I had that woman's kung fu, I would dare to go to Jinling City to make trouble."
"But then speaking, the fifth prince destroyed the beam, and the life of our ordinary people ...... Wouldn't it be difficult! ”
"You don't care about this, when Emperor Daliang was in power, were there fewer starving bones on the side of the road? The rise and fall are the suffering of the people, the change of dynasty, for us, it is just a joke after dinner, a little clever left and right, and the big knife can't touch your head! ”
……
Lu Zhiming listened to this, and regarded it as a joke of a pawn in the rivers and lakes, he had long been accustomed to it.
Zhenlong muttered: "The rise and fall are all the suffering of the people? I repeated these words upside down several times.
Rao Tu said softly: "Whether the lives of the people are worth anything or not, they are still waiting for you to break the situation." ”
Zhenlong didn't speak, his slender fingers dipped in water in the cup, and wrote six words on the table, "Xishu is flat, the world is flat." ”
Rao Tu remembered that many years ago in the hot pot restaurant in Jiangling City, the two words that Xiao Yanning wrote on the table were Xishu.
She put down the money, got up and walked out of the inn. Xiao Er said worriedly: "This girl, the wind and snow are thick, where are you going now?" ”
Rao Tu didn't answer him, and stepped into the vast snowstorm.
Lu Zhiming looked at the slender figure from the window, and also dipped in water and wrote two words on the table - "Rao".
At a table next to him, a handsome woman in her twenties patted the table and said to the blue-clothed man next to him who was staring out of the window in a daze: "Senior brother, is that woman so good-looking?" The soul is hooked. ”
The man in blue came back to his senses and sighed: "That woman is a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, but she is full of murderous energy. ”
The woman snorted and said sourly: "Do you think that wearing plain clothes and having a pair of bewitching eyes is the female devil?" I have the ability to take off the veil, but I have heard that Rao Tu is a stunning beauty. ”
The man in blue shook his head, as if he hadn't noticed the jealousy of the woman, and sighed abruptly: "Yes, there are a lot of plain-clothed women on the rivers and lakes all of them, all of them are fish-eyed, how can there be any pearls?" ”
The woman stretched out her foot from under the table and kicked the boy in blue, indignantly: "What pearl? I heard that she used to be the concubine of a strategist, but she was just a lowly woman from a green building! ”
The boy in blue rubbed his kicked knee, wanting to refute, but looking at his junior sister's face was very ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything. If you can't bear it, you will mess up the big plan of sharing the bed with your sister, and there is no need to defend a female devil who you don't know.
Lu Zhiming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looking at the wind and snow outside, he said softly: "She is not a pearl, but she is a woman who will be remembered by this river and lake and even this country." ”
……
In this year, Shen Zhu returned to Jinling City, rectified the dynasty, fussed Eastern Wu, Pingbei, controlled southern Xinjiang, and changed the country name to "Lixian".
This year, Xiao Yanning disappeared on a snowy night, and his 10,000 cronies searched all over Jinling City for 500 miles outside the city, but there was no one or a corpse.
This year, Xie Tangyan supported his troops in Xishu, and a young man named Xu Wu led the troops into Shu with a spear and began a five-year confrontation with Xie Tangyan.
……
Five years later, outside Jinling City, there was an empty stream where many Janissaries were placed. Because in this empty stream lived a person who was extremely important to the dynasty. Although he is clothed and has no official position, he has a word in the entire Lixian Dynasty.
The young man in military uniform is already seventeen years old, although the Lixian Dynasty has no lord since then, but this young man named Xu Wu is the future monarch, and it is already a tacit fact that the old minister of the Lixian Temple is already a tacit fact.
After all, this young man has great military achievements and has mastered more than half of the army of the Xian Dynasty.
The boy's real name is May. He hurried into the mountain stream, came to the scholar who was reading outside the thatched house, and said in a low voice: "Sir, in the alfalfa town three hundred miles away, I found Madame. ”
A complicated look flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he closed the book and asked, "Didn't you startle the snake?" ”
May felt that the word "scaring snakes" might not be appropriate, so how could she compare her aunt to a snake? But he still shook his head and said, "No." Three thousand rangers were arranged to ride outside the town, just waiting for the gentleman to pass. ”
It was Shen Zhu's who stood up and said in a deep voice: "This time, you can't let her run anymore." His tone was firm, but his voice trembled slightly.
May said: "Madame bought wine and drank in Alfalfa Town, it seems to be drunk......"
Shen Zhu clenched his fists, his steps were like the wind, he got out of the mountain stream and turned over on his horse, like a gust of wind towards Alfalfa Town.
May didn't go with him, he remembered what his aunt had said, at least five years, at most seven years, she would come back. It's been seven years now, and my aunt won't break her word. My aunt is Rao, which Jianghu people don't know the name Rao Tu all these years?
If she doesn't want to get drunk, she won't get drunk; If you don't want to come back, no one will be able to find her trace.
But now that she has not only found her traces, but she is also drunk, then there is only one possibility, my aunt is coming back. So Mr. Shen will definitely pick up his wife this time.
A little girl with clear eyebrows came out of the hut, followed by a little girl.
That little girl was extremely good-looking, because her father could be regarded as one of the best beauties in the sky. The girl's name is Xiao Yan, and she is now six years old. But at this time, her face was full of tears, and her little nose was red, as if she had just cried.
Mayyue grinned at the older girl, "Hengxiu, what's wrong with the little inkstone?" ”
Hengxiu yawned and pointed to the small inkstone next to her, "You ask her." ”
Hengwen came out of the house, dressed in clean blue clothes, spotless, very much like Shen Zhu back then. When Xiao Yantai saw him, his mouth was curled and he was about to cry again.
May smiled and said to Hengwen: "You quarreled with Xiaoyantai again?" ”
Hengwen felt very wronged, obviously every time the inkstone came to quarrel with him, and in the end, he was the one who paid for it. Xiao Yantai couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and he cried loudly, as if he had endless grievances.
Hengwen was helpless, stepped forward and rubbed her face, and pinched her crying little mouth into a curved arc, "Okay, it's me who is wrong." I shouldn't have been reading a book while you're giving me candy. ”
Xiao Yantai snorted, "You're not reading, you're ignoring people!" She pursed her lips again, as if she was about to cry. Hengxiu hurriedly covered her mouth, "It's all Hengwen bad, don't pay attention to her, let's go play with Brother May." ”
Sitting on the stone in May, Hengwen asked, "Brother May, how is the situation in Xishu?" ”
May shook her head: "Xie Tangyan is a ruffian scoundrel, very much in the style of Uncle Liu Huang back then. Tongchuan is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is in danger. However, although we can't enter Sichuan and Shu, it is absolutely impossible for Xie Tangyan to raise troops to the east. For a while, it can only be consumed like this. ”
Hengwen nodded, bowing his head in contemplation.
Hengxiu is already a slim little girl, she has never understood the situation of military and politics, and she does not interject, standing under the shadow of flowers and playing with a small inkstone wearing flowers. In May, under the sun, the petals fluttered in the light and shadow, falling on her hair and blouse, forming a beautiful picture.
A smile rose on May's face, this kind of smile is not common, he has been stationed in Gangneung all the year round, and he has a decisive face with a decisive face, and it is rare to have such a gentle smile.
In Alfalfa Town, more than a dozen people who claim to be righteous in the rivers and lakes gather outside a wine shop, all holding weapons in their hands, looking at the sleeping woman lying on the table in the wine shop, ready to go. The woman fell into a deep sleep, with a green silk hanging to the ground, a slender figure, she looked like a weak woman who was powerless, how could it be her, with a group of demons and monsters in Liuli Mountain, who picked the helm of the Qingjing Society overnight?
The Qingjing Association is an organization that reverses envy and restores the beams. Although there are no external troubles, there are internal worries. It is only because of the delay in establishing the lord of the country that many gangs have sprung up on the rivers and lakes. Under the banner of restoring Daliang, he has never done anything for the benefit of the people of Daliang, and some are just a wolf ambition!
Outside the shop, a white-clothed swordsman shouted: "Let's not be stunned, it's just a woman, let's go up together, I can't subdue her!" ”
An old man in a cloak said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is deception! This demon girl knows that we are following her, and she dares to lie here drunk, but she is afraid that she has set a trap and is waiting for us to jump! ”
Rao Tu was drunk, suddenly raised her wine glass, and muttered, "Is it raining?" ”
Everyone was startled and took a few steps back. But seeing that Rao Di didn't move again, the wine glass fell to the ground, dripping and turning a few times, and her arm also hung down, as if she was drunk to death.
Thunder roared in the sky, dark clouds overpowered, and heavy rain was coming.
The white-clothed swordsman glanced at everyone behind him, and said coldly, "I don't believe she has great powers!" Wait until I'm going to kill this slut! ”
He raised his sword and stabbed it into Rao's eyebrows. The tip of the sword was only an inch away from the center of Rao Tu's eyebrows, and when it was about to be pierced, everyone's hearts hung up, and someone whispered: "Pierce in!" Pierce in! ”
The sword of the white-clothed swordsman suddenly seemed to be under some resistance, and the blade of the sword was bent like a full moon, but it could not advance an inch. The white-clothed swordsman turned his head and glared at everyone: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Let's go together! ”
Everyone looked at each other, and all raised their weapons and slashed at Rao.
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and a scholar came with 3,000 rangers.
If you like Rao, please collect: () Rao Tu is hot, and the update speed is the fastest.
