Chapter 56: The Phantom of Luoyang
Chapter 56: The Phantom of Luoyang
The red crow flew over Taicheng, flying in the dark night of Jiankang City, as a bird, it can see higher and farther than humans, it can fly from the west to the east of Jiankang in a very short time, from mountains to rivers, from alleys to towers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It saw people swimming at night on the Qingxi River, and saw a wet boy floating out of the water like a swimming fish, and the boy appeared at the setting of the moon, like a ghost from the netherworld, and ...... It still seemed to recognize the boy.
It flew slightly lower to see better, but it recognized the boy as it was cloudless tonight, and then the shadow of its neck came to its mind, causing it to flutter its wings in panic.
The boy seemed to have been in the water for a long time, so long that his whole face was as cold and pale as the moonlight, and when the moon set was the coldest hour, he floated on the surface of the river full of moonlight, and waited for a while, and a boat came to carry him away.
The boy was gone, and the crow didn't know where to go, although the stick said it was a good omen from heaven, because crows with dark crimson feathers were really rare, maybe it remembered the city where it used to live, and there were palaces and pavilions, which were more gorgeous and magnificent than Jiankang.
If you talk about Jiankang's small jasper, then that city is everyone's ladies, and its name is Luoyang.
It's just that when the red crow left Luoyang, it was already full of ghosts and corpses, and that was the first time it circled the whole city with its feathers, and those who saw it would point at it and scream: "There is a black in the city, and its name is broken." Greet the poison and plague the country! ”
But when it came to Jiangzuo, the god stick called it an auspicious bird and asked the emperor to grant amnesty to the world.
So, humans are very strange creatures, and birds will never understand the human mind, but they know that their situation is different from those stupid birds that have been trained by humans to hold wooden cards for divination, because it has freedom.
So it left Jiankang City and headed east along the river, wanting to see the first rays of the morning sun, thinking that as long as it was closer to the east, it would be closer to the sun.
Then, near Shogunate Mountain, it saw a ship docking, and two people came down from the boat to go up the stone steps to the shogunate. The shogunate is the military tent built by the government when Wang Dao first came to Jiankang, but in recent years, the shogunate has been closed, and I don't know when the government can be opened, the red crow thinks that everyone lives very comfortably in Jiankang, maybe there will be no more days to open the government in recent years, because once the palace is opened, there will be a war.
The red crow doesn't like Jiankang to become like Luoyang, and he doesn't want the city to be full of restless ghosts when the Yellow Spring opens during the Midyear Festival.
The two were a man and a woman, the man was wearing a white robe, and the white color was the color of the clothes worn by the lowly people, but the white robe was worn on this person with an indescribable vulgarity, and the girl behind him was dressed in a black robe, and the robe covered her face, and the whole person seemed to shrink into a small ball.
The man walked briskly, like a flowing cloud flowing in the mountains, and the girl's steps were also very light, but more soft like a stream, and the wind lamp in her hand was also fluttering, like a flowing firefly.
The red crows flew faster than them and stopped on the old eaves of the shogunate.
When the man arrived, he seemed to notice the bird, but because it was not yet bright, he just thought it was an ordinary crow, and said to himself: "When I see a crow in the morning, I don't know if it is fierce or auspicious, but with you, even if it is auspicious, it will become fierce, you say, just take the last step back to Jiankang, how many people will we lose?" ”
The girl lifted her little face, moved her lips, said nothing, and was as quiet as a dead man.
Because Xie Shang said to her a long time ago, Aunt Song, you talk a lot of nonsense, and you are also planted on the nonsense with my family, so you had better learn to talk less and use your brain more.
But even when Xie Shang Xunli knocked on the door of the shogunate, the response she received was empty, and she endured it for a long time, and replied, "I saw crows in the sky when Master Luzhu fell from the building, so I always felt that it brought me bad luck. ”
"Then when you saw Sima Zong, it must have been falling flowers all over the sky, otherwise how could you be desperate to help him?" Xie Shang kicked open the door of the mansion as he spoke, and the master who rushed to see Xie Shang's face through the lamp, and immediately knelt down, "Xie Lang came so fast!" This flying pigeon also said that you didn't set off! ”
"Lord Situ sent you to pick us up?" Xie Shang has drunk the wind and dust, he hasn't slept well for a long time, and his temper is not as good as the previous wind reviews, only this face, after more than half a year of experience, has become more and more awe-inspiring and chic, when the master book peeks at him, he will be a little distracted, after all, he is the most beautiful Langjun in the whole Jiankang, this trip I heard that he killed many people, and was privately called the stunning Shura by the shogunate officials.
Because Xie Shang looks good no matter what he does, even killing.
The shogunate has been listening to Xie Shang's deployment in a low-key manner for most of the year, and even those who are older than him have to obey orders, because it is the order of Lord Situ, Xie Shang has the power to "open the mansion", which means that Xie Shang's hidden military power.
If this Xie Jialang Jun returns to Jiankang safely, I'm afraid that he will fly to heaven?
It's just that at the moment, there is only one step on the road to health this time, but it is full of dangers.
The master bookkeeper was distracted, and was glared at by Xie Shang, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Situ is willing to let you be injured, so send Master Ah Yi!" ”
Ah Yi?
Xie Shang thought of the servant B who usually haunted like a night bat, and finally felt that Director Wang had finally cheated him this time.
For most of the year, he was exiled to Jiangzuo to exterminate Sima Zong's forces, and he had to protect Song Yi, and he couldn't see his family, and he couldn't go to see Xie An, which was simply double torture.
"But Lord Ah Yi is still on the way, and Jiankang has not been very peaceful recently, so the deployment of manpower has eased a little."
The master wanted to change his clothes for him, but he was met with Xie Meilang's white eyes, but the white eyes were also the white eyes of a beauty, and he was thinking about offering some pleasing courtesy, so he heard Song Yi say coldly: "You'd better tell him something about Xie An, so that at least he won't smile at you." ”
"Thank you...... Saburo! It's amazing, San Lang ......"
The main bookkeeper hesitated to tell Xie Shang the latest news of Xie Anzhi's capture of Liu Sheng and his night invasion of the Sect's palace, but he was afraid that Xie Shang would be distracted, after all, his precious brother was in danger, and he was afraid that he would leave Song Yi and go back to Jiankang to find Sima Zong desperately.
Xie Shang's eyes wandered, and Ying Ying looked at him with a killing intent like water.
The master bookkeeper said in a hurry: "San Lang raised a chow chow, but he is well-behaved." ”
……
Xie Shang frowned, Song Yi couldn't help laughing, and the master bookkeeper found an excuse to run away faster than a mouse.
"Could it be that Sima Zong has found him?" Xie Shang deserves to be Xie Shang, seeing the flickering eyes of the master book, he felt that something was wrong, now the entire Jiankang City, I am afraid that even Yu Liang has no way to take that Ahri, if he wants to be domineering, Director Wang will definitely support him, but if something happens, it must be related to Sima Zong.
As soon as Song Yi heard this name, the smile on his face immediately dissipated.
Xie Shang said lightly: "Luoyang you want to go back to is no longer there, wake up, that person must put you to death, what are you still nostalgic for?" ”
Song Yi shrank his face in the shadow of the hood, and said in silence for a long time: "We were all children that year, and he had white hair at a young age, but he was very good-looking. Later, Master Luzhu fell from the building, in fact, falling from the building is the best relief, if there is no one to protect us, our end is not as good as the camp prostitute. ”
Song Yi wanted to say something, but Xie Shang suddenly made a silent gesture to her, and said softly: "The crow flew away, someone followed, it seems that it has been ambushed here for a long time." ”
At this time, there was only morning light, the sun was still blocked behind the mountains, and the clouds on the horizon cracked several openings, dripping with warm blood.
Song Yi has been in such a situation for most of the year, but every time she is still inexplicably afraid and worried, if she still has the ability to cultivate, then at least she can help Xie Shang, and she will not be like a waste person who needs his protection now.
Xie Shang glanced at her, pulled out his sword and picked off her hood, "Take off the ugly hat on your head, and you're going back to Jiankang, like a woman running for a funeral, it's too unlucky." ”
Xie Shang's face was relaxed, although he was already very tired, the young man's eyes were full of confidence, as if no one could stop him.
"Why aren't you afraid of death?" Song Yi asked a question that he had not dared to ask for a long time.
Xie Shang said proudly: "Sooner or later, what is the use of being afraid?" Who are you who learned the art of killing, killing people is not soft, and when it is your turn to die, you are afraid like a quail. ”
"If you don't step into Jiankang with me today, then you will fall into the abyss for the rest of your life, and life is better than death!"
In the faint morning light, the faces of Shi Chong, Lu Zhu and the countless little girls in Shi Chong's Mansion flashed in Song Yi's mind one by one, she was the most beautiful of them, so Sima Zong chose her and took her out of the bloodbathed mansion.
Now the person who wants to kill her is still Sima Zong, the white-haired young man, who has already been as beautiful as himself, like the magnificent Luoyang, has been destroyed.
Now in front of her is Xie Shang.
has been together for more than half a year, and the blood debt between the two is still a shadow that cannot be overcome.
"The Langya Wang clan didn't let me kill your father." This is what she said to him half a year ago, when the two rarely talked when they got along, Xie Shang was silent like a mute, and more like a beautiful stone statue.
"I doubted Lord Situ because he was always the king of Langya, he knew a lot of things, everything in this world was his pawn, even myself, but this feeling is not good, because everyone yearns for freedom." Xie Shang was silent for a long time before he said, "But then I dreamed of Daddy...... In any case, if I protect you now, then the Langya Wang clan owes me a sum, and the future of the Chenjun Xie clan will be better, because I want to revitalize the Xie clan instead of Daddy. ”
Song Yi asked, "Don't you want to know the truth?" ”
Xie Shang smiled lightly, "I am really not interested in these people and things between you and Sima Rui and Sima Zong, I'm afraid Tingwei will be more interested, but if your little emotional entanglement has nothing to do with the removal of traitors, don't say it, after all, you owe me in this world, and I owe you to become a fetter." Ah, I haven't been back for a long time, I really want to sleep lazily in the study all day, Langya Wang owes me this half a year of leisurely life, I must ask for some good compensation. ”
"But there are so many eyesores here!"
As he drew his sword, the dead hiding around the shogunate were approaching, and the red crow quickly flew away, as it seemed to smell blood.
"It's not your time, forget about Luoyang, this is Jiankang!"
Xie Shang showed his face, he was like a clear and gorgeous sword light that cut through the last haze in Song Yi's heart, at that moment, the first ray of sunlight hidden behind the mountain fell into the world, flowing in the mountains and forests, so beautiful that people wanted to cry.
