Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shurou Leaves Beijing

The moonlight, cool as water, sprinkled in the alleys, stretched the figure of the person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Xi looked up at Ma Xiu, who was in a hurry, the direction he was walking was not a small courtyard, and he was able to catch up a few times, but he slowed down and followed behind silently.

After passing through several winding and quiet alleys, the sparkling waves ahead, but the moonlight blended into the river, shining with dazzling brilliance, like stars hanging in the quiet sky falling into the dust.

On the arched stone bridge, Ma Xiu stopped his steps, slapped one hand on the stone lion on the guardrail next to the bridge, and immediately heard only the crisp sound of cracks.

Maybe Ma Xiu's strength was controlled, and he only shattered the fist-sized stone lion, otherwise in his anger, this arched bridge would definitely be in vain.

"Whoa......

The stone chips fluttered in the evening breeze, and most of them fell into the river, causing ripples and shattering the silver of the river.

With a hideous face, Ma Xiu's fist was raised, but he put it down, his body was leaning against the edge of the bridge, as if he had been drained, he sat down, holding his head with his hands and rubbing it back and forth.

Soon, the hosta fell, and the long hair that was neatly combed was messy, and the evening breeze blew, and there was a low whimper.

The boy didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't reach the heartache.

Liu Xi sighed, stepped forward and squatted beside Ma Xiu, staring at the silver hook on the ink plate, still silent.

After a long time, Ma Xiu, who had tears on his face, raised his head, "Yusheng, do you think there is still a possibility between me and Shurou?" ”

The peach blossom who used to be affectionate in the spring breeze flashed with tears in her eyes, looking at Liu Xi, she seemed to regard him as her last hope.

Handed the hosta he picked up, and seeing that Ma Xiu didn't reach out to take it, Liu Xi casually inserted it in his messy hair, "Today, if you follow what they say, how many things can be done in the world?" Court? Holy? It's just an ordinary visit, and you're an otherworldly person, and you're doing anything else! As long as the county lord Shurou is consensual with you, then what are the concerns, the big deal is to fly away when the time comes, between the vast land, is it possible that there is no place for you to stand? ”

"Really?"

Ma Xiu muttered to himself, as if he was asking Liu Xi, and as if he was asking himself.

Raising his head and letting the evening breeze blow across his face, Liu Xi nodded and said undoubtedly, "That's natural, as long as the county lord is willing to stay with you." Even if there is a mountain of swords and fires, I will bring her back to marry you. ”

This sentence was like a reassuring pill that made Ma Xiu's panic disappear for the most part, and there was more gratitude in the words, "Yusheng, thank you very much." ”

"You and my brother, why do you say such things!"

A smile appeared on the face of the tears that had not gone away, and Ma Xiu said again, "There is one more thing, Yusheng, you have to take a champion back for me." ”

"This code is not used properly, I take the champion is ironclad, even if you take the scientific exam, you can only be a role model."

As he spoke, Liu Xi shook his head, full of smugness, like those vulgar people who read a few books and felt that all the talents in the world were in their pockets.

After looking at it for a while, Ma Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "What a scoundrel!" ”

The anger was holding back and hurting his body, and it would naturally be much better if he vented it, and the two said something again, Ma Xiu put the hosta into his arms, and his long hair was scattered behind him and walked towards the small courtyard with Liu Xi.

It was late at night, and the dew could be seen on the masonry, and the soldiers walked through the streets in columns, and in order to reduce the trouble, the two walked through the alleys, and went around a long way before returning to the courtyard.

Before knocking on the door, the courtyard door opened by itself, and I saw the little girl Wu Shuang'er come out and grab Liu Xi's right arm, "Son, it's not good, Sister Yang is gone!" ”

Hua Weiyang is gone?

Liu Xi and Ma Xiu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think of what happened in the carriage before, King Tanglin was really fast. However, thinking that Hua Weiyang was arrested, it must be difficult to protect his life, and the two of them felt a little bit of kinship in their hearts.

At this time, Xiao Wu also walked out, and when he saw Liu Xi, Da Wu said in a low voice, "A master has come, but she has not been found." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi was a little puzzled, could it be that this Hua Weiyang left on her own, and the king of Tanglin did not arrest her?

In this way, it is not difficult to understand the many soldiers I saw on the street when I returned. Since it is a city-wide search, it at least shows that Hua Weiyang is safe at the moment.

Until now, Liu Xi didn't know what kind of grievances Hua Weiyang had with Tang Huang, probably some blood feuds and the like, which was similar to him and Liu Si, so he had the compassion to push himself to the edge of the cliff.

Hopefully she'll get out.

Sighing secretly, Liu Xi comforted Wu Shuang'er, who had already developed a friendship with Hua Weiyang, entered the courtyard, and went to see the canal waves, and saw that he was fine, so he went back to the house to rest.

In the next few days, Jialing City was still heavily guarded, and Wu Shuang'er would still chant two sentences of Hua Weiyang from time to time, at first Liu Xi could still sigh with emotion, and after listening to it for a long time, he was used to it.

After all, he still has more important things to do, and Zhuangyuanlang can't get it by touching his mouth.

Now Ma Xiu can't participate in the scientific examination, although he participated in the scientific examination only to enter Li Tang, so as to marry the lord of Shurou, but which literati is not a little arrogant, if he himself does not participate in it, it is fine, but now he has worked hard to prepare, but he is not qualified to take the exam.

It is inevitable that there is a gap in his heart, and this loss is naturally transformed into expectation grafted on Liu Xi, so every day Ma Xiu has to say countless times in front of him that the scientific test of the Toad Palace is successful, which makes the latter's pressure double, and at the same time, the desire to win the first place is getting stronger and stronger.

Unconsciously, summer goes to autumn, the green vines crawling on the wall gradually show the color of withered yellow, and there are thin lines in the sky with white clouds from time to time, which are some birds returning to the south.

Standing in front of the window of the study, looking at the other people in the courtyard who were playing chess or drinking, Liu Xi smiled, returned to the bookcase, and continued to study the scriptures with a splash of ink.

"Oh no, Lord Shurou is out of Beijing!"

A figure rushed into the courtyard, it was Wu Shuang'er, who was still out shopping with Qin, the little girl's low cry suddenly broke the original comfort in the courtyard, and everyone looked nervously at Ma Xiu, who was smiling with Lin Yi and holding up the lamp to his mouth.

"Click!"

The white porcelain glass cup in Ma Xiu's hand was cracked into pieces, and the wine was spilled on his robe, reflecting a wet flower ball.

Striding forward, Ma Xiu walked in front of Wu Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, what you just said was Shurou?" ”

Perhaps frightened by this momentum, Wu Shuang'er took a few steps back, and happened to crash into Qin Yi'er's arms, who had just entered the courtyard with vegetables.

"Ma Gongzi, just now when the slave family came back from buying vegetables, the streets were full of soldiers in bright armor, and ordinary people were not allowed to do it. After walking a few more steps, I heard the reason from the passer-by, saying that he was escorting the county lord Shurou back to Xinyang City, and I was afraid that he was going out of the city at this moment. ”
