Chapter 41: Midnight and Three Watches
In the room in the distance, the red butterfly after the bath sat quietly in front of the dresser, letting her mother be behind her, holding her hair in a bun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Behind her, Concubine Zhen looked at her daughter in the mirror, these days, perhaps because of the relationship between martial arts training, there is enough qi and blood, the skin is becoming more and more ruddy, and the placket of the placket begins to further outline the peak shape, the original cuteness of the pink makeup and jade has been reduced a lot, but there is more of a youthful atmosphere of budding flowers.
The daughter is really starting to grow up, and Concubine Zhen doesn't know whether to be happy or sad about this kind of thing.
"Mother!" Red Butterfly whispered, "Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany Baotong to Haojing with Xiaolu, and come back after Baotong ascends the throne." ”
Concubine Zhen said softly, "Really? For a moment, nothing more was said.
When the daughter is older, sooner or later she will leave herself, thinking back to her past, after entering the palace, she basically can no longer see her parents, every three or five years, occasionally go home to save her relatives, and her father and mother can only kneel outside the curtain and speak quietly like courtiers.
Later, Haojing fell, and the people of her mother's family didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and there was nowhere to interrogate them now, but in her heart, she couldn't talk about too much sadness, and she felt like a stranger.
Now, her daughter also has her man, and she has also begun to practice martial arts, even if one day, she will leave herself and no longer need to take care of herself. As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Zhen's heart was extremely melancholy.
Red Butterfly's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the room fell silent all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to do. Apart from her, the mother has no other relatives. But what she thinks about all day long is to learn the best swordsmanship, and then follow Brother Ning to walk the rivers and lakes together.
Although I went to Haojing this time, I would be able to come back in a month or two at most, but it was also the first time in my life that I had left my mother for so long, and when I talked to Brother Ning and Baotong in the afternoon, I didn't feel anything, at this moment, seeing my mother silent behind me, somehow, my heart suddenly became sad.
After combing their hair, it was hot in the house, and the mother and daughter went out of the house together for a walk. The night breeze blew from outside the mountain, and it felt much cooler, and the sky was shining with stars, because it was on the mountainside, and the moon was very bright from here.
Concubine Zhen said softly: "In the future, my mother is not by your side, you have to learn to take care of yourself, the weather in the north is colder, you have to add a few more clothes on the road, although you have begun to practice swords, but after all, it is a daughter's family, don't casually go to quarrel with others......"
Red Butterfly smiled: "Mother, this time I am accompanying Baotong to the north, she is now the princess, she is protected by a large army, and she is not going to go to the rivers and lakes, what can be the dispute?" Besides, I'll be back in two months at most. When I went, I went with the army, slower, and when I came back, I came back by boat. ”
Concubine Zhen also smiled: "Yes, it's only two months." "Saying that, after all, my heart is still gloomy.
Red Butterfly glanced back at her mother, bit her lip, and suddenly said: "Mother, otherwise I won't go, I'm here to accompany my mother, anyway, I went to Haojing, and there is nothing to do, Baotong is accompanied by Brother Ning and Xiaolu." ”
Concubine Zhen said: "This ......"
Seeing that Ningjiang's house was over there, Red Butterfly grabbed her mother's hand: "I'll go tell Brother Ning now." ”
Knowing that her daughter was afraid that she would be lonely, Concubine Zhen was also warm, although it was only two months, but she was reluctant in her heart. The two entered the courtyard together, and it was at this time that the angry voice of Chun Jianli came from the room in front of them: "It's not enough for you to have me, and you are still coming to my mother?" Die, pervert! ”
"Jianli, listen to me explain, although things are indeed the way they are, there are some other reasons." Ning Jiang's voice rang out in the room.
"There's a reason for a fart? While chasing my mother, you said that she was seduce you by shaking her ass around, and you also teased my mother, saying that I was sassy, and she was sassier than me. I think about it now, at that time in Yueling, you hid my mother near Longhu Mountain but didn't tell me, and then in the middle of the night, you would disappear inexplicably, every time you said that you had something to do, did you sleep with me in the first half of the night and sleep with my mother in the second half of the night? Pervert, you! ”
"Jianli, calm, calm, there are other reasons behind all these things."
"Calm down, I've known you're not a good thing, but I never thought you'd be such a scumbag. You like to bully your daughter so much and then bully someone else's mother? Are you already planning to attack Red Butterfly's mother? You deliberately made the red butterfly so loud last night, in fact, you just wanted her mother to listen to it, right? ”
"What are you talking about...... Don't cut, don't cut, hey, hey, are you really? ”
The mother and daughter outside were dumbfounded and looked at the figures chasing around the room, as well as the bright sword light, and were dumbfounded for a while...... Then he silently withdrew.

In the room, after tossing for a while, Ning Jiang finally succeeded in pressing the angry charming girl on the bed, and grabbed her crystal wrist with both hands: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." ”
The sword fell to the side, the girl hooked her knees on the edge of the bed, her hands spread to the sides, and she was forced to assume a gesture of surrender, her chest rose and fell under her lover's body, and her rosy lips were still tightly pursed.
Ning Jiang smiled: "No matter what, you have to listen to my explanation first?" ”
Chun Jianli bit her lip, turned her head unhappily, and didn't look at him: "Although I have known for a long time that you are hiding a lot of things from me, and I don't blame you for that, but...... But that's my mother? ”
"Just because she is your mother, I haven't killed her," Ning Jiang held her in his arms, "Do you think that every Zoroastrian demon girl who has been planted with holy blood can be like your mother and successfully get rid of the fear of the Holy Phoenix and wake up?" You and Taofei were able not to be affected too much by Zoroastrianism, because your physique was not suitable for cultivating holy blood in the first place, and your spirit was not really brought to the great firebird because of this. To put it mildly, if she wasn't your mother, I would have killed her a long time ago, so why would she be so troublesome? ”
Chun Jian Li snuggled in his arms, glanced at him, and did not speak for a while.
Ning Jiang began to explain some of the reasons to her, and of course, inevitably, his motives were incomparably great. In this way, he said for a long time, and then said: "There is no way to use the desire of the body itself to dispel the fear of the so-called gods in the heart. If she wasn't your mother, I would have to put so much effort into helping her get out of the fire pit of Zoroastrianism? If she hadn't left Zoroastrianism, where would she have come back to you? If she hadn't left Zoroastrianism, even if I didn't kill her, she would have died and had no place to be buried, and now on the rivers and lakes, as long as she has something to do with Zoroastrianism, she doesn't want to have a way to live, and among them, there may not be some poor people who are forced to be controlled by Zoroastrianism, but so what? Isn't this the rivers and lakes? ”
Chun Jianli was also silent for a while, after all, she herself grew up in the Zoroastrian environment, and she could still understand these truths. And, anyway, the mother did come back to her, although the man was a bastard, but on the other hand...... She was actually very grateful to him.
After saying so long, the night had become deep, and it was quiet outside, and the girl who was pressed under the young man was as soft as jade, and she was charming and lovely. The body that provoked the extreme was full of healthy elasticity, and the twin peaks that were pressed proudly resisted the man's chest, refusing to give in to anything.
Ning Jiang said: "Jianli, I'm sorry, there are many things that should not be hidden from you, but I don't have time to explain, there are some things that are not easy to say." ”
The girl turned her face away and looked aside: "Even if you don't say it, I already know that you have many things that you haven't told me, in fact, I don't care if you hide it from me, I don't care if you lie to me, I ...... I don't even care if you really like me and want me...... I just want to be by your side and be your woman...... That's enough! ”
"Fool!" Ning Jiang turned sideways and held her in his arms, and gently flicked her Qiong nose, "Of course I like you...... Now yes. ”
The girl hugged his waist violently: "Really? You—You didn't lie to me? ”
The young man hugged her and shook it, and said with a smile: "At least this time, I definitely didn't lie to you." He added: "Actually, your mother's paralysis, I have also thought of a way to cure it, the cause of her current illness is mainly due to the fact that after being hit by the palm power of the Thunderbolt Gate, the meridians are cut off, and her own internal force cannot penetrate the whole body, plus the Holy Phoenix Blood in the body has also been removed in the past, and the Self-healing ability of the Holy Phoenix Blood itself has been lost." I thought of a way to restore her meridians through the samadhi fire in your body, just to prevent accidents, some small details, I still need to continue to study, if nothing else, when I come back from Haojing this time, I can treat her with you. ”
The girl said "um" softly, knowing that he was still thinking about how to cure her mother, her heart was full of joy, and she raised her head, her apricot face was crimson, her eyes were like silk, and she was full of charm. The young man lowered his head and kissed her, followed by the shaking bed board and the sound of rolling, the two of them took their own poses, and at this moment, the fragrant wind next to them hit, followed by a woman's voice: "Taofei greets Master and Master." ”
Chun Jianli, who was hugging her lover's neck and straddled his waist, was startled and turned her head suddenly: "You, what are you doing here?" ”
The young man also said: "In the middle of the night, why did you come to the teacher's house?" ”
Tao Fei bowed aggrievedly beside the bed: "Obviously, Master, you called me here, during the day, Master knocked the disciple's head three times with a fan, turned around and left, didn't you let the disciple come to see the Master from the back door tonight?" ”
Damn, your talent is really on the same level as a monkey. The young man turned his head to look at the girl who was hugging her: "Forget it, no matter what, she is also our apprentice, and her three views should also be corrected, let's start teaching her tonight!" ”
Chun Jianli: "Huh? ”
And then...... Nothing to say all night!!
***
Princess Baotong was promoted to the crown princess, and she was about to ascend the throne as the emperor, and the news that the Great Zhou Dynasty was going to produce a female emperor had already spread all over the country at this moment.
It can be said that this is an unprecedented anecdote in China, but in the past few years, all kinds of changes have been too great, and at this time, even if the empress ascends the throne, it is no longer so unacceptable. Although there are also some scholars who are deeply influenced by the Confucian idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, shouting that they are deviant and unorthodox, especially the newly emerged Confucianism, which is particularly serious, in fact, it has not been able to make any waves.
For three consecutive years in China, an emperor died every year, not including the abolished emperor who was taken away by the barbarian army, and now, the empress ascended the throne, to some extent, it can be regarded as bringing some new atmosphere. After discovering that the loud shout, although it attracted some attention, not only could not prevent the empress dowager from ascending the throne, but began to dislike people, it also changed its position as quickly as possible, and began to find chapters and excerpts from the Four Books and Five Classics, demonstrating the justice of the woman's succession to the throne, as if the ancestors had predicted this, and its attitude changed so quickly that it made people sigh shamelessly.
However, at this time, most of the young people have been attracted by Taoist chemistry and Confucian martial arts, and the emergence of "Seeking Truth" also made the literary atmosphere collapse, and Confucianism, which has a lot of market among middle-aged and elderly Confucianists, is just a flash in the pan and is not much noticed. As for the so-called Cixue, because it is related to Zoroastrianism, it is now shouted and beaten by everyone.
Although they are all borrowed from the names of the hundred schools of thought, Taoism is based on pre-Qin Taoism, and Confucianism is from pre-Qin Confucianism.
On the contrary, the Mohists, after experiencing the tragic failure of the new Moxue, began to move towards the pre-Qin era of chivalry and speculation, and at the same time further carried forward the Mohist tradition, the study of mathematics and mechanics of the "Book of Ink", in fact, to the pre-Qin "old way", although this is no longer the original intention of the good princess to rebuild the new Momen.
Driven by various new trends of thought, the development of the whole of China can be called rapid change, and at this time, a thing called "Xuan-style explosives", also under the joint research of several Mo and Taoist disciples, began to appear theoretically feasible, however, the first experiment was a fatal, uncontrollable explosion, directly two of them were killed, and the other was blown off his legs.
At this moment, naturally, no one has noticed the huge impact that this "Xuan-style explosive" will bring. In this new autumn, almost everyone's eyes are on the princess who slowly went north under the protection of the army, as one of the great symbols of the great changes of the entire era in the history books of later generations, a new page was opened......
