Chapter 65: Grass Mustard
(Xie Hiro, Su Heiyi's two brothers are rewarded with monthly passes.) )
The two of them got up with a roll, and when they heard the horses' hooves outside the workshop, they were not sure if they had been found, so they ran towards the workshop as soon as possible. Passing through several narrow alleys, in front of them is the wall of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the two of them do not detour, but directly climb over the wall and enter the temple. Passing through the tall trees behind the majestic temple hall, and walking from west to east, you will continue to reach the eastern wall of the temple.
There was silence along the way, and the distant noise was cut off by trees, and it was the famous Great Mercy and Grace Temple, which was also silent at night, and it was faintly visible that there were stars and lights flickering in the halls where it passed. The treasure temple of the ancient temple has its own majestic and solemn image, and being in it is like the noise outside the isolation.
Not far from the east wall is the plum garden, at this time the two have no choice but to go to the plum garden to find Gongsun Lan, after climbing over the wall after a horizontal alley is the wall of the plum garden, in order to leave fewer traces, the two went directly over the wall again, sneaked into the plum forest and went straight to Gongsun Lan's residence.
Wang Yuan was a little worried that Gongsun Lan had left Chang'an City, because she had come here to spend half an afternoon and a night with Gongsun Lan more than ten days ago, and Gongsun Lan had said that she would leave Chang'an soon, because she felt that her hermitage was no longer hidden. But after passing through Merlin, when he saw the yellow light shining through the three thatched huts, Wang Yuan's heart suddenly became inexplicably excited. Obviously, Gongsun Lan was still there, and when he thought of that peerless appearance and demeanor, Wang Yuan had an indescribable feeling.
When she was still twenty or thirty steps away from the hut, Li Xin'er suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yuan asked in a low voice.
"I'm a little worried and scared, the master said that I am not allowed to come here, I rushed in, the master will definitely be unhappy." Li Xin'er said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will face it, let me say that you should also open your hearts, obviously care about each other, but you avoid and hurt each other, you are the apprentice of Gongsun Auntie, you must take this step first." Besides, do we have any other choice now? ”
Li Xin'er gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, this time I want to have a good talk with the master and ask for her understanding." I only have the master as a relative in this world, and I can't lose her. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "That's right, your master must also look forward to you admitting your mistakes to her." ”
"I hope so."
The two quickly came to the outside of the thatched hut, Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to knock on the wooden door of the house, but saw the door suddenly open, as if he had known that they were at the door, Gongsun Lan, dressed in white, stood in front of the door, holding a candlestick in her hand, and there was no expression on her calm face.
"Senior Gongsun, Twelve Niang and I were hunted down and cornered, so this is the ......" Wang Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted.
"Needless to say, I know it all." Gongsun Lan spoke lightly, but her body didn't mean to open the door.
Wang Yuan felt a little relieved, although he didn't know how Gongsun Lan knew that the two of them were being hunted down, but with Gongsun Lan's elusive means, it was not surprising to know. At this moment, Gongsun Lan's attitude didn't look like she wanted to drive herself and Li Xin'er away.
"Master." Li Xin'er let out a low scream.
Gongsun Lan didn't answer, nor did she look at Li Xin'er, her eyes looked at the dark Merlin outside the house, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and suddenly she blew out the candles on the candlesticks with a pop, and through the shadow of the starlight, Wang Yuan saw Gongsun Lan slowly pull out a three-foot green blade with cold light shining under his sleeve.
"There are not long eyes touching in, Xin'er, you are not growing more and more, and you are actually falling behind you without knowing it."
Li Xin'er said ashamedly: "Xin'er is incompetent, she didn't pay attention to running just now, and waited for the apprentice to take care of them." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "Break into my plum garden and want you to cook?" This is my business, I don't need you to do it, and you don't want to go anywhere if you stay in the house. ”
Gongsun Lan's figure flashed, and a gust of fragrant wind swept past Wang Yuan, and her body had already gotten off the porch and went straight to the front. Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er glanced at each other, both understood what the other party meant, Li Xin'er nodded slightly, walked into the house quickly, and came out after a while, with an extra long sword in his hand.
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and whispered, "What about mine?" ”
"What's yours?" Li Xin'er was in a hurry to help, and her footsteps had already gone down the porch.
"You have all my blades, but I'm empty-handed." Wang Yuan said urgently.
"I don't need you to do it, you just don't get in the way." As she spoke, Li Xin'er was already more than a dozen steps away.
Wang Yuan was helpless, so he copied a flower hoe leaning on the porch in his hand, and chased Li Xin'er's back with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
On the side of the remnant lotus pond, under the crescent moon, Wang Yuan saw a strange scene; On the passage between Merlin, Gongsun Lan, who was fluttering in white, stood in the middle of the road with a long sword in her hand, and in front of her stood six or seven black shadows on guard, all with cold and shining blades in their hands.
Li Xin'er hurried to catch up, but saw Gongsun Lan waving her hand and shouting softly: "Don't come over, there is no matter for you here, do you want to disobey what I said?" ”
Li Xin'er was busy more than ten steps away, Wang Yuanhe came with a hoe, and he knew that he couldn't help, so he could only stand side by side with Li Xin'er.
The six people on the opposite side were obviously shocked by Gongsun Lan's momentum, and did not act rashly, one of them was a man wrapped in a black turban, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Who is the honorable driver?" Don't get in the way. We are ordered to arrest the criminals, and if you don't want to get into trouble, get out of the way. ”
Gongsun Lan said coldly: "I don't care who you arrest, but you broke into my private house, and you are the one who causes trouble." ”
The black-turbaned man frowned and said, "The two people behind you are the prisoners we want to arrest, do you want to protect them?" ”
Gongsun Lan said lightly: "So what?" Anyway, you're all going to die today, so let's go together, don't say more. ”
The man was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know whether to live or die, so don't blame us for doing it." ”
A person behind him smiled and said, "Third Brother Ma, what are you talking about with her?" Take this girl, everyone is happy, such a beautiful girl, I can't bear to see the brothers. ”
The rest of the people let out a low chuckle, Gongsun Lan's face turned cold, the long sword in his hand was raised, his toes touched the ground, and his body flew up in the air, like a flying rainbow under the moon, and he instantly crossed a distance of seven or eight steps. The black-turbaned man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly raised his blade to protect himself, but after the cold wind blew on his face, the figure of Gongsun Lan in front of him had disappeared, and at the same time, there was a terrifying scream behind him.
Looking back, I saw that the body of the man who had just spoken was slowly softening, his hands clutching his throat and gurgling, and fluid gurgling from his fingers.
All the men were shocked, and the man called Ma Sange reacted quickly, shouting in a low voice, and the remaining five people quickly formed an encirclement and surrounded Gongsun Lan, who was dripping blood with a long sword.
"Kill." Ma San roared. Everyone's blades were quickly handed out, up and down, left and right, obviously all of them were practitioners, and besieging others also had quite routines and rules.
Gongsun Lanben stood quietly, the moment everyone attacked, her body suddenly spun, her dress bloomed like petals, no one saw how she made a move, only heard the sound of puff puff, mixed with the sound of slashing blades. The bodies of the surrounding attackers continued to roll on the ground, and after a while, the four of them fell to the ground and did not move, leaving only Nama Sanyi standing in place in a daze, with empty hands.
Ma San's martial arts are not low, just now he subconsciously swung his knife upward, and the blade in his hand was knocked off like this, but it was precisely because his reaction was fast enough that he avoided the same fate as the other four partners, only he was unscathed.
Ma San's soul flew away, and he ran wildly with a strange scream, trying to get into the merlin, Wang Yuan shouted: "Can't let him run away, leave a living mouth to ask." ”
Li Xin'er's figure flickered, and she caught up with Ma San's back in just a moment, raised her leg and stepped on the crook of Ma San's leg, Ma San fell forward with a pop, and at the same time, the cold blade was on her neck.
"Spare your life." Ma San rested his head on the ridge raised at the root of the plum tree, hugged the back of his head with his arms and said forgiveness.
Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan came to the front one after another, Li Xin'er raised her foot and kicked Ma San and turned around to face the starry sky, and scolded: "Talk back, if you have half a lie, I will take your dog's head." ”
"Okay, girl, but ask, know everything." Ma San said in a row.
"Okay, first question, why are you chasing us?" Li Xin'er asked coldly.
"This ...... The villain doesn't know. "Ma Sandao.
"You're looking for death." Li Xin'er raised her sword and gestured, Ma San knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Grandma spare my life, I really don't know, I was just ordered to enter Jinchangfang to search, and some brothers said that they heard movement in this garden, so we followed and chased after us." ”
Li Xin'er glanced at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan frowned and asked, "Then do you know who we are?" ”
"I don't know." Ma Sandao: "I really don't know who you are, we were just ordered to arrest people, as for who was arrested and why they were arrested, this is all an order from above, and it is not our turn to ask." ”
Wang Yuan frowned and asked again, "Are you Jin Wuwei's people?" How do you dress up like this? ”
"This ......" Ma San hesitated.
"Say." Li Xin'er shouted coldly.
"Okay, okay, I said, we are not Jin Wuwei's people, we are Wang Yushi's subordinates."
"Wang Yushi? Which royal history? Wang Yuan said in surprise.
"Wang Ji Wang Yushi, which one else?"
"Wang Jie? On whose orders did he capture us? Li Linfu? ”
"This ...... The villain really doesn't know, the villain is just a pawn under Wang Yushi, how can he know the above things. Today, I received an order to arrest the prisoners in Lanlingfang in the evening, and we will be on standby until you appear, and we will arrest you with the assistance of Jin Wuwei. Who knew that you would be able to escape so much, and you will not be seen when you flee to Jinchangfang, and the Marquis of Jinwu Wei is responsible for patrolling the streets outside, while we are responsible for searching the squares. As for who you are, why do you have to be embarrassed by you, the villain really doesn't know. Spare the little one, please. ”
Ma San kowtowed like pounding garlic, and tears flowed endlessly.
Wang Yuan asked a few more words, this Ma San really didn't know the inside story, and he couldn't ask anything, so he sighed and straightened up, wanting to ask how to deal with this person, but he heard Li Xin'er say: "This guy really doesn't know anything, it's useless to keep him." ”
Before the words fell, there was a pop, Li Xin'er's sword had already cut Ma San's throat, Ma San's body spasmodized, his eyes were wide open, and he convulsed for a moment. Wang Yuan's heart was pounding, he saw killing people with his own eyes for the first time today, and there were six at a time. Although he knew that these people would not be able to stay alive, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart.
Looking at the master and apprentice in front of him again, his face was calm after the killing, as if he was righteous, Wang Yuanshi didn't know whether to be happy or afraid.
