Chapter 723: Snowy Night
I don't know if it's because of the upcoming martial arts conference, the sky of Jinyang's city suddenly became gloomy three days before the conference, and the wind was blowing, like a knife cutting face, making people really feel the arrival of winter. Finally, at night, goose-feather snowflakes fell, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Jinyang City became covered in snow.
Gently reaching out and catching a piece of snowflake that drifted into the house from outside the open window lattice, feeling the crystal and cold on it, Yang Lihua's somewhat irritable and dazed mind had a moment of tranquility. Raising his left hand, he looked at a somewhat old sachet in his palm, and the confusion in his eyes was even worse.
"A-Ying, is it really you?"
In the muttering voice, the confusion and confusion in Yang Lihua's eyes were instantly replaced by perseverance. Putting the sachet in her hand into her arms, Yang Lihua took a deep breath, then pushed the door out, stepping on the thin snow, and seemed to walk slowly towards the outside of the courtyard.
Soon, Yang Lihua came out of the Prince's East Palace and headed towards the west of Jinyang City. In this huge snowstorm, there are few pedestrians on the road, and her posture in white is ethereal, but it is not easy to show her tracks.
It's just that Yang Lihua didn't know that behind her, there was a person in the distance, like a ghost, without a sound. This person is also dressed in white, but he is very thin, he doesn't care about the chill in the wind and snow, his steps are calm and elegant, and the most strange thing is that there is not the slightest breath on his body, if it is not seen by the naked eye, it is almost impossible to feel his existence.
Yang Lihua walked all the way, and from time to time she probed all over her body, very cautiously, and deliberately circled a few times, and found that there was no one behind her to breathe a sigh of relief, and walked into a very ordinary and secluded alley.
"Sister, you're finally here!" A slightly hoarse, but irrepressible voice sounded in the alley, and then a man in black was seen emerging from the shadows in the corner.
"A-Ying, is it really you?!" Looking at the man in black who appeared in front of her, Yang Lihua's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes were slightly blurred, and she said in surprise: "You are already so tall, my sister finally saw you again!" ”
"Sister!" The black-clothed young man suddenly took a few steps closer, held Yang Lihua's hand excitedly, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "I thought I would never see my sister in my life, sister, have you been doing well all these years?" ”
Yang Lihua wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile. "Okay, sister is very good, sister is very happy to see A-Ying grow so big!" After a pause, Yang Lihua's agitated mood calmed down a little, and she asked again, "Are you okay at home?" Is Big Brother okay? Speaking of this, Yang Lihua's expression suddenly darkened, and she whispered: "Daddy, is he okay?" ”
"Sister, my eldest brother is very good, and my father is also very good, but he is now in Yongfeng Town, not in Chang'an." A-Ying said with a smile, looking at this sister who has taken good care of her since she was a child, his face was full of joy and warm smiles.
"You're all good, I'm relieved." Yang Lihua nodded, and said, "A-Ying, why did you come to Qi Kingdom?" It's you, don't you know it's going to be dangerous? ”
Zhou and Qi have a deep grudge, if people know that Ah Ying is the son of the general of Zhou Guozhu, I am afraid that it will lead to death, not to mention that Yang Lihua knows very well that he is happy to the Yang family, especially Yang Jian has long harbored murderous intentions, if it were not for his own reasons, how could Yang Jian live to this day.
Hearing this, A-Ying's expression became a lot more serious, with regret and anger in her eyes, and she said hatefully: "Sister, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" It's all about the joy of that little thief, leaving you outcast, and suffering humiliation! ”
"No!" Before Ah Ying finished speaking, Yang Lihua interrupted him, and said with a serious and firm expression: "Ah Ying, I am happy to be your brother-in-law, you have to respect him!" My sister has not suffered at all over the years, and I am willing to follow Brother Xing here! ”
"Sister, you-" Ah Ying was stunned, staring at Yang Lihua in disbelief, he thought that Yang Lihua must have been coerced by happiness, uprooted from her hometown, and suffered humiliation, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.
"A-Ying, now that you have seen your sister, you should rest assured that everything is okay with your sister, this Jinyang has been crowded recently, you better leave quickly!" Yang Lihua said, took out a bulging money bag from her sleeve and put it in A-Ying's hand, and said gently: "You take this money, don't treat yourself badly on the way, take care!" As she spoke, Yang Lihua couldn't help but have two more tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, falling into the snow and disappearing.
"Sister!" Glancing at the money bag, Ah Ying frowned, the essence in her eyes flashed, she stared at Yang Lihua with an extremely solemn face, and asked in a deep voice: "Sister, I don't hide it, I came to Qi Country, first, I want to take my sister home, and second, I hope to get something, I hope my sister can help me!" ”
"What's that?" Yang Lihua's eyes flashed, and she asked softly, but her heart was inexplicably tight.
"Sister should know that there is a hidden weapon in Xingxing's hand, which can kill people a thousand steps away, unless you are a top master, there is no way to avoid it!" Ah Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I hope my sister can give me a secret weapon like this." ”
The corners of Yang Lihua's eyes jumped slightly, and she asked in surprise, "What do you want it to do?" ”
"Sister, the reason why the Qi State was able to defeat my Great Zhou and join forces with the Turks this time is because of this secret weapon. If we can't find a way to crack it, our Great Zhou will definitely be passive in the future war with the Qi State, and there will be heavy casualties. ”
A-Ying looked at Yang Lihua with burning eyes and said, "Sister, this thing is very important to us, I hope you can help me!" ”
Yang Lihua suddenly fell silent, but the silence was very short, in A-Ying's expectant gaze, she sighed faintly and said: "A-Ying, this thing is a top secret in the Qi army, and my sister can't help you get it." ”
A Ying's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but he still said unwillingly: "Sister, with the relationship between you and Happy, he will definitely not be guarded, you can help me get one, one can be done!" ”
Yang Lihua pursed her lips and was silent, and in the dim night, no one could see the deep sadness in her eyes.
"Sister, have you forgotten the place where you were born and raised, have you forgotten that you have the blood of the Zhou Kingdom and the blood of the Yang family in your body? Can you bear to look at Zhou Guo and watch the Yang family turn into nothingness at the hands of the cruel executioner of Happy Na? A-Ying's voice was very subdued, but it was like a suppressed beastly roar, and there was endless anger and disappointment in it.
"A-Ying, Brother Xing is kind to me, and even more so to my Yang family, I won't betray him, you can go!" Yang Lihua's body seemed to be unable to stand the chill in the wind and snow, and trembled slightly, but her voice was very firm.
"You've changed, you're no longer the sister I know well, what's so good about being happy that you defend him so much? Do you lust for riches and become his queen? Ah Ying's anger made him lose his mind a little, if it weren't for the sound of the wind whistling in the air, I am afraid that the movement here would wake up others.
Yang Lihua staggered, took a step back, but did not fall, sighed silently, she silently turned around and walked out, in the wind and snow, her back looked so desolate, and her voice faintly came from the wind: "In this life, he will not live up to me, and I will not live up to him!" ”
"Damn it!"
Ah Ying watched Yang Lihua disappear, and suddenly punched the ground, "bang", snowflakes splashed, and a hole with a diameter of more than a foot appeared on the ground. His eyes were full of anger, which came from Yang Lihua's refusal, but also from the jealousy of happiness.
When I came, I was full of anticipation and fear, excitement and joy, but when I went, I was only sad and heartbroken. Yang Lihua walked quietly in the wind and snow, letting the scattered paintings pile up on the top of his head, and dyed a green silk on his body, his face was as pale as snow, only a touch of red on his lips was as gorgeous and dazzling.
Suddenly, Yang Lihua stopped, and a man in white appeared in front of him. Seeing this person, Yang Lihua's face changed suddenly, but when she saw the gentle gaze of the person who came, the warm smile like a spring breeze on the corner of her mouth, the uneasiness and panic in her heart, sadness and desolation disappeared in an instant.
"It's windy outside, let's go home!" A soft voice sounded, and the man in white stretched out his right hand.
"Brother Xing!" Yang Lihua's eyes were hazy again, not just tears or snow. With this crying call, Yang Lihua threw herself into her happy arms like a ruyan throwing into the forest, only this familiar warmth and breath could dispel the haze and coldness in her heart.
"I'll carry you!" With a wave of his hand, the snowflakes on Yang Lihua's body were brushed away by an invisible big hand, leaving no one, and said happily, with a slight force of his arms, he put Yang Lihua firmly on his back and strode towards the East Palace. With the happy movement, the wind and snow around him seemed to be dispersed by an invisible force, and none of them fell on him and Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua lay on her happy back with peace of mind, her face was full of happy smiles, and the sadness in her eyes was very light.
She knew what he was coming for, and he knew her choice.
After happily leaving, there were several soft noises around him, and several men in black disappeared into the wind and snow like ghosts.
……
Xinghua City, Shandong.
"Are you really sure you're going to kill him?" The one who spoke was a young man in blue, who looked quite handsome, but the murderous intent in his eyes was very clear even in the dark night.
"If the Qi Kingdom falls, what is the difference between his life and death? Without the greatest reliance, leaving him with nothing is the most cruel revenge for him! However, this requires you to provide something useful, otherwise we can't win. ”
The man who spoke was a man wrapped in black, his entire face shrouded in a black scarf, and only one pair of eyes looked as deep as the starry sky, and his voice could tell that he was quite old.
"I can give you what you want, but with my identity and ability, I can only get a small part, and it's only in kind, and I can't get the formula." The young man in blue said solemnly.
"Do your best, we'll help you if necessary, and if you want revenge, do your best!"
