Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Story
Red beans, walnuts, pine nuts, persimmons, millet, yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, dates and other things were all purchased and loaded into the carriage, but Meng Xiaoyu suddenly remembered one less thing: sugar. She said it was the most important thing, so she got out of the car and ran to a nearby grocery store.
Xue Chongxun and Meng Xiaoyu said that they would go to the City God Temple to cook eight-treasure porridge for those refugees......
Xue Chongxun didn't feel any meaning in this kind of thing, but he understood the reason: most people will be happy when they do good deeds. Meng Xiaoyu will be happy in such a thing and leave her with a good memory.
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu's cheerful back disappear in the grocery store door temporarily, the sorrow in Xue Chongxun's heart also surged up in an instant, as if the simple Meng Xiaoyu was the elixir that suppressed his dark heart, and those illnesses would come to him a moment away.
Xue Chongxun's heart has actually been worried about Liu Youqiu's side, and he himself is not sure whether Liu Youqiu will use the method of persuading the prince to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to save himself; I am not sure if Liu Youqiu has the ability to persuade the prince. A qiΔ is unknown, but it is just a possibility that there is zΓ i, which may be very small.
This kind of conspiracy is used in the temple, and no one is sure, and the result will waver, because the conspiracy relies too much on details, and the details are the most difficult to control...... In order to let his mother fully realize the danger of Li Longji and strengthen his mother's determination, Xue Chongxun couldn't think of any other better way, people should sometimes have the courage to take risks!
Now Xue Chongxun feels that his situation with Liu Youqiu is actually very similar: in order to protect himself, he tried his best to strengthen his mother's determination to break the net; Liu Youqiu was also for self-preservation, and he had to do his best to strengthen the prince's determination to risk a coup d'Γ©tat.
Although he and Liu Youqiu are positive and negative to each other, because of the uncertainty of the ending, in fact, both of them are in danger now, and whoever fails will die...... Xue Chongxun was worried, but what was the use of worrying? Anyway, it's all about waiting for the result, so why don't you do something boring that makes people feel happy.
There is always all kinds of drama in the world.
At this moment, Sanniang suddenly said in a deep voice: "The people over there in the City God Temple have complicated backgrounds and mixed fish and dragons, do you want to send a few more people to go over together?" β
Xue Chongxun shook his head and smiled: "I think that poor people may take risks and do bad things, but the really dangerous people are actually well-dressed gentlemen, understand?" β
Soon Meng Xiaoyu came back from buying good things, she is like a white rabbit that pops out of spring, she likes to laugh even when she encounters the most unfair treatment, and she can imperceptibly infect people.
"Do you know what sugar tastes like?" Meng Xiaoyu looked at Xue Chongxun with a smile and said.
Xue Chongxun said without thinking: "Of course it is sweet, and everyone knows it. β
Meng Xiaoyu smiled: "You're right, you're so smart...... Haha, hee-hee......"
Approaching Zhu Zhechi, a smile also appeared on Xue Chongxun's face: "What's so funny?" Isn't sugar sweet? β
"You look serious...... Alas, laugh at me! The face is still so dark, if you don't say your name, I'll just call you Black Bull. Meng Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled toothlessly.
β¦β¦
Cooking a large pot of eight-treasure porridge is actually not a simple process, Xue Chongxun also followed Meng Xiaoyu to do it himself, and both of them were dirty. And the poor poor people were all gathered around, staring at the pot, and they didn't really care what it tasted like.
Xue Chongxun sighed: "We have enjoyed their taxes, but now they are helpless, but they are not guaranteed by the imperial court......"
"Why do you sound so disgusting to me?" Suddenly, a cold voice said.
Xue Chongxun turned his head and saw that it was Yuwen Ji, today was really a coincidence, the two met in a narrow way. Yuwen Ji wears a purple head and linen clothes, and she is still dressed as a man, but her coarse clothes can't hide her graceful figure, and her cold face with mockery can't hide her coquettish face.
Yuwen Ji looked at Sanniang mockingly: "It turns out that you changed your career and started boiling porridge without killing people?" β
Sanniang's face was embarrassed and she didn't know how to answer. Xue Chongxun's face was very thick-skinned, and he didn't care about Yuwen Ji's mockery, he glanced at Sanniang: "You and Xiaoyu will avoid it first." β
Sanniang turned around and left, but Meng Xiaoyu was very angry, glared at Yuwen Ji and said, "Who are you?" Not a man or a woman, yin and yang weird, can't see others do good deeds? β
I saw that Meng Xiaoyu's innocent round face was smeared with black ash, and now it has become like a little flower cat, and she is angry and has beautiful big eyes, which has a different flavor.
Yuwen Ji looked at the girl in white in front of her with a complicated gaze, her expression was mostly sympathetic, and maybe there was a hint of jealousy. Yuwen Ji sneered: "Whose daughter is this who has been deceived by this well-dressed beast again?" Little lady, when you come out with someone, don't you ask who this person is first? He is a demon who kills people without blinking, and for the sake of power, he simply refuses to admit that he kills people! β
Meng Xiaoyu was extremely angry, rushed up and pushed Yuwen Ji, staring at Yuwen Ji hatefully: "Hei Niu is a good person!" You are so nasty, you don't care what others do! β
"Black Bull?" Yuwen Ji looked at Xue Chongxun with a mocking expression.
Meng Xiaoyu pursed her mouth, glared at Yuwen Ji fiercely, and muttered, "If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour." β
At this moment, one of those people around the pot finally scooped up a bowl of half-cooked porridge with a bowl and ate it while blowing, and the others also learned to scoop the porridge when they saw this...... Yuwen Ji hurriedly said: "Sixth woman, slow down, don't burn it." β
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yuwen Ji, do you remember what you said in Qianfu Temple?" β
Yuwen Ji was silent for a while, and said: "You person, I have seen through it, today I was unlucky to meet you again." You slowly pretend to be here, I'll go for nothing today, hum, farewell...... This little lady...... Xue Chongxun, I remind you, if you do too much evil, you will kill yourself! β
Xue Chongxun said: "I'll tell you another story, do you want to hear it?" β
Although Yuwen Ji didn't look back, she still slowed down, very slowly. A woman's curiosity is amazing, not to mention that Xue Chongxun can always tell something very interesting.
Xue Chongxun immediately said: "It is said that there was a young girl who fell in love with a strange man at first sight at her father's funeral, but only saw one time; A month later, the girl's sister was suddenly killed, and the government finally found out that the person who killed the sister was actually the girl. Why did she kill her sister? β
The characters in this story are simple. Yuwen Ji didn't speak, and Meng Xiaoyu on the side blurted out: "It won't be to see that strange man again at her sister's funeral, right?" β
"Xiaoyu is so smart." Xue Chongxun said leisurely.
"Why?" Meng Xiaoyu asked puzzled.
Yuwen Ji's footsteps stopped, although she didn't turn around, she was thinking about something...... Is Xue Chongxun teasing something?
Xue Chongxun looked at her back with interest, did she remember the words of Qianfu Temple? The other man has been cultivating for two thousand years just to get a glimpse of you......
Yuwen Ji finally couldn't hold back, turned around and said coldly: "Do you think I will still believe you?" No matter how rhetorical you are, it's useless, all your words are false! You're the one who will do anything for the sake of power! β
By chance, Xue Chongxun found that what Yuwen Ji said was a bit like Meng Xiaoyu scolding Xiao Heng. The man's words are indeed very fake.
β¦β¦ Just as they were arguing, they suddenly saw a white-haired old woman walking into the courtyard gate of the City God Temple with a cane. Xue Chongxun is a person who practices martial arts, and his vigilance is still very high, and he immediately felt that this old woman's posture was a little awkward, as if she was pretending. Yuwen Ji saw Xue Chongxun looking behind her, and also looked back at the old woman.
Yuwen Ji suddenly said, "Bai impermanence? You're alive? β
Xue Chongxun did not hesitate and hurriedly shouted: "Sanniang! β
When the old woman saw that her identity had been recognized, she straightened up and said in a flattering voice: "The third child of Black Impermanence is the one who hides in the dark and sneaks up on others, and you call her to stand stupidly under the sun...... Giggles, I didn't block a single move. The voice was extremely thin, like a little girl, with a coquettish tone, but how could this sound make people's scalps tingle?
Bai Wuchang said as he took out a short guzheng from the rag bag on his back, and said in a flattering voice: "Xue Chongxun, someone wants your head, can you borrow it from me?" Alas, I've been with you for half a month, and it's been so hard to find such a good opportunity, is it enough to play a tune for you as a reward? β
Yuwen Ji's pupils contracted, and her hand slowly stretched out into her arms: "Bai Wuchang, who are you working for now?" β
Bai Wuchang smiled coquettishly: "Of course it's for money, money is much more reliable than people...... How? Do you want to work hard for Xue Chongxun? As she spoke, she slowly walked over to this side with the piano in her arms.
Yuwen Ji stood still, as if she was hesitating about something. After a while, Yuwen Ji suddenly stepped aside: "I don't know him, what's the matter with me?" β
Xue Chongxun stretched out his hand to his waist and touched it, it was empty, he came out today to hang out, and he didn't bring a saber.
"Colliers?" Xue Chongxun asked while looking around, and found a wooden stick and grabbed it in his hand.
Bai Wuchang didn't care about him, just stared at Yuwen Ji and said, "He is a person with status, if you die, you will be in trouble." β
"I didn't kill it, what does it matter?" Yuwen Ji said coldly, "Please, I just want to see how he died." β
"Giggle......" Bai Wuchang laughed while walking, and after approaching Yuwen Ji, he suddenly heard the sound of the piano, Bai Wuchang pulled out a scimitar, and his steps were like flying, and he rushed straight to Yuwen Ji.
At the same time, three silver needles flew out of Yuwen Ji's hand, "Bang Bang!" With three sounds, all the silver needles were nailed to the guqin in Bai Wuchang's left hand. I saw that the base of the piano was inlaid with metal, which could really be used as a shield, but I didn't know what other functions it had.
"Ahh Xue Chongxun held the wooden stick with both hands, roared, raised the wooden stick above his head, and rushed over.
After one move, Bai Wuchang had already approached Yuwen Ji, the scimitar flashed a reflection of the sun, Yuwen Ji's eyes flickered, and her instinct for danger made her flash to the side. "Silk!" The flash of the knife flashed, and a piece of linen flew up.
"Bang!" Bai Wuchang immediately kicked a certain part of Yuwen Ji's abdomen, this trick seems familiar, and it was also the same action when Sanniang kicked Xiao Heng unconscious.
Yuwen Ji didn't faint immediately, but she was kicked to the ground and couldn't get up.
At this time, Xue Chongxun rushed behind Bai Wuchang and slashed down with a stick, he used the stick as a knife. Bai Wuchang flashed lightly to one side, Xue Chongxun had no fear on his face, and his eyes actually showed excitement.
Xue Chongxun's movements were not slow, and he immediately turned around without hesitation, not looking at Bai Wuchang's movements at all. The turn was just right, and the scimitar slashed through his waist, and if it was a moment slower, it would have slashed at the flesh.
After Xue Chongxun rubbed Bai Wuchang's shoulder and turned around, just behind her side, the wooden stick after the chop was immediately lifted upward, and it hit Bai Wuchang's crotch, "bang", and hit it really.
It's a pity that it's sticks.
After Bai Wuchang jumped away, her eyes were full of shame and indignation, she clamped her legs, and her white hair stood up in anger. Xue Chongxun realized that it was a wooden stick in his hand, and it was useless to hit her without force, when he yelled, took a step forward, flew up, and kicked sideways, of course, he didn't kick the other party, Xue Chongxun's movements were not muddy, and he jumped up smoothly, turned his body half a circle, held the stick with both hands, and slashed down with a wooden stick with a strong wind with a thunderous momentum.
