Chapter 412: "Fate" is you
Hearing the words of the leading dancer, Wang Xu suddenly laughed heartily. "Hahaha! It's not at all, you deserve such praise, and this kind of skill is rare in the world. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ......"
As soon as he said this, his gaze suddenly froze, and he looked at the plain face in a daze.
At this time, the dancing girl was no longer moving, standing quietly in place, and the distance was relatively close, so Wang Xu could see it clearly. The stunned was not because of the other party's beauty, but because that face brought him a familiar feeling, but strangely, if he recalled it seriously, he couldn't remember where he had seen it at all. It stands to reason that a woman with an outstanding temperament like the other party will give a very deep impression, and if you have really seen it, you will definitely have a very deep impression, otherwise you will not feel familiar.
Just when Wang Xu was in confusion, the dancing girl turned her head a little shyly. "General!"
"Huh? Oh! I'm sorry! Wang Xu was brought back to his senses by the other party's soft voice, and shook his head a little embarrassed.
His gaffe was also noticed by everyone, and the generals of Wenchen all showed a smile, but Xu Shu and others gave her a big roll of the eyes, but now in public, it is not easy to say anything.
Wang Xu didn't pay attention to this, he was really a little curious about the dancing girl in front of him, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but ask, "I don't know if your name can be told?" β
The dancing girl hesitated, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
Because he had a good impression of this woman, seeing that the other party really didn't want to say it, Wang Xu also smiled and said: "Since you don't want to say it, ...... it."
But before he finished speaking, the other party was already slightly bowed. "Folk girl Cui Ying!"
"Cui Ying? Cui Ying! Wang Xu stumbled a few words, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this name is good, the person is like its name!" β
"Thank you, General, for your love!"
"Hmm!" Nodding with a smile, Wang Xu didn't look like he was really teasing people, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can perform a few more songs." Let me wait and open my eyes. β
"No!"
With Cui Ying's soft voice. The sound of silk and bamboo soon sounded again, and several of the women slowly retreated to the door, accompanied by musical instruments, while the women in the middle danced again, and the moving dance soon enlivened the atmosphere in the hall again. The crowd was quite happy to drink and have fun, or to make a drinking order, or to sing poems and songs.
Taking advantage of this commotion, Xu Shu also slowly moved to Wang Xu's side. Disgusted: "Why do you think you are so engrossed? There are so many in the family, and there is one hanging in Hebei, aren't you satisfied? Is it a thief again? β
"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "Wife, where did you go?" I'm not in such a hurry. Just looking at this girl, I feel a little strange, as if I have always seen it somewhere. β
"Cut! Just break it up! Where else have you ever seen it, if you are greedy, you will admit it, why make excuses like this? Xu Shu rolled her eyes and said.
"It's not!" Seeing that Xu Shu didn't believe it, Wang Xu couldn't help frowning, and said seriously: "Wife, I mean it." I really think I've seen it somewhere! β
"Really?"
"Really."
looked at Wang Xu's face at the moment. Xu Shu also believed a little. Because he is generally solemn. It won't lie. "Then did you happen to bump into it when you went out before?"
"Impossible!" Wang Xu immediately shook his head. affirmed: "With his unique temperament, if I meet him, I will definitely have an impression." β
Xu Shu glanced at her and said, "Then why else?" Don't tell me, you have eyes on this girl! β
"Hey, that's a real deal. Anyway, looking at her, it always feels familiar, but it has nothing to do with others. Wang Xu also smiled.
"Humph! You are so beautiful that you are sΓΉ sued you, and you are not allowed to mess with your minds. If you have to marry, forget it, if you see someone and want it, there are so many beauties in the world, don't you have to take them all? β
"Oops! Where did you go, I was content with you, and besides, if there were so many women, I wouldn't be able to take care of them! Right? As he spoke, Wang Xu also winked at Xu Shu.
"You scoundrel, you don't bother to talk to you." Seeing that Wang Xu was a scoundrel again, Xu Shu rolled her eyes and quickly sat back in her place.
In fact, not only Wang Xu, but even Zhang Jing had already carefully looked at the dancing girl for a long time, and his brows were furrowed. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but move slightly to the left, and pulled Zhou Zhi, who was happily, and said, "Zhou Zhi, ask you something!" β
"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhi was toasting with others from afar, and when he was pulled like this, he couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Hmm...... It's just ......" Zhang Jing wanted to say, but he felt a little difficult to speak.
"Don't babble, say it quickly!" Zhou Zhi said urgently.
Zhang Jing gritted his teeth, and said boldly: "It's that dancing girl Cui Ying, do you feel familiar?" β
"Nope!" Zhou Zhi spit out two words without hesitation, but then looked at Zhang Jing suspiciously, and suddenly became interested. "Hey! Zhang Jing, do you have a crush on someone? This is a rare thing, you don't guard your two baby bumps? β
Knowing that Zhou Zhi would say this, Zhang Jing shook his head helplessly and scolded: "Do you think I am like you?" I mean, I always thought this woman was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. β
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Seeing Zhang Jing so solemn, Zhou Zhi also frowned, looked at the dancing girl who was dancing in the middle of the field, and suddenly asked: "Zhang Jing, think about it again, did you meet it by chance, maybe it was just a quick glance!"
Hearing Zhou Zhi say this, Zhang Jing also recalled carefully for a moment, but finally shook his head and said affirmatively: "No!" β
"Then this matter is not simple, maybe ......" Zhou Zhi's face tightened, and he suddenly lowered his voice.
"Maybe what?" Zhang Jingqi said.
"Maybe you really like her! Okay, if you like it, you like it, don't make so many excuses, I don't think the boss will rob you. Don't be verbose, I'll go talk to the boss later, lest everyone take a fancy to one. β
"Get out!" Zhang Jingtie blushed and drank, didn't bother to say anything to Zhou Zhiduo, and sat back.
"I look at you, you just have a thief's heart, but you don't have the courage to be a thief!" Zhou Zhi laughed and teased. I don't care. Then he turned his attention to the wine glass in his hand.
The dinner gradually climaxed with the hearty laughter of the crowd, and the dancers in the middle of the show also danced a full three dances, and according to the usual practice, they could also rest for a while.
When the voice of Sizhu gradually lowered, Wang Xu looked at the group of women who were slightly panting, and also said generously: "If you are tired." Let's take a break! If you need anything, you can order the maid in the house. β
"Thank you, General." All the women saluted together, and they all slowly retreated, but Cui Ying did not move at all, but slowly stepped forward and said: "The general's benevolence is all over the world, and I have the honor to perform for the general today." It is a blessing for us. Looking at the general's high interest, the folk girl really can't bear to sweep you Yaxing, although the sisters are tired, but the folk girl still has a little body, why don't you dance solo for the general? β
"Oh?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, but then nodded. "Well, I don't know what you want to perform? This solo dance is even more difficult! β
"Huh! The general is reassured. The people's daughter will not disappoint the general! He smiled slightly. Cui Ying lowered her head and thought about it for a while, before she hesitated and said, "The general has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Why don't you present a sword dance to the general? β
"You know how to dance a sword?"
"It's a little bit, but it's just a trick, it's beautiful and not practical!" Cui Ying laughed softly.
But hearing her words, Wang Xu suddenly fell silent and slowly lowered his head. After a while, he raised it again, looked at Cui Ying with a smile, didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes were clear and focused.
Cui Ying was a little flustered by those eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "The general doesn't like sword dance? β
Wang Xu looked at her deeply and said with a smile: "No, you dance!" Can I bring a sword? β
"Since you know how to dance with a sword, you naturally have a sword, but the general can rest assured that the long sword is not sharp, but a blunt sword."
"Hahaha! What do you mean by this, I still suspect that you have bad intentions, it doesn't matter, no matter what kind of sword, you can use it to dance. β
"No!" Cui Ying replied softly, then turned around and called for her companion to bring in the sword.
It's just that I'm afraid she didn't notice it herself, and his voice was faintly trembling at the moment.
Of course, most of the people were immersed in the pleasant atmosphere of the dinner party, and did not notice that only a few of the military generals looked at her suspiciously. But this small gesture doesn't mean anything, so I don't say much, just reflexively raise some vigilance.
Wang Xu, who already had a bottom in his heart, noticed this fleeting abnormality, but smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
A moment later, Cui Ying's companion walked in with an ornately decorated long sword, and the guards who were a little farther away from the door might have heard what he had said, so they didn't check whether they were opening or not, and let him walk in.
The woman was quite calm, and after handing the sword to Cui Ying, she didn't say a word, bowed to everyone, and withdrew again. In the eyes of everyone, Cui Ying slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and took the initiative to take it in front of everyone to see if it was open.
When she got it in front of Wang Xu, Wang Xu suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you don't need to show me, you can dance the sword directly!" β
Hearing this, Cui Ying seemed to be stunned suddenly, and seemed quite surprised. But then he smiled quickly and slowly took two steps back. "In that case, the folk girl will be ugly!"
With her soft voice, the momentum on her body changed instantly, and a heroic spirit erupted out, moving and jumping, the skirt fluttered, quite a woman's posture of not letting her eyebrows go, that kind of beauty was diametrically opposite to before, but it also seemed very tasteful. The long sword in her hand is soft and steely, and she dances quite methodically between one move and one style, but it is indeed as she said, it can only be watched, and there is no actual combat value.
From time to time, the sword blade slashed extremely close in front of the military commander of Wenchen, but there was no threat, but it only added to the artistic conception of this sword dance. Everyone also smiled indifferently at this and didn't care.
After a while, the main object of the sword dance had been replaced by Wang Xu. At the beginning, the generals were still a little vigilant, but as they bypassed several times, everyone gradually relaxed, enjoying this different sword dance to their heart's content, thinking that she was taking special care of Wang Xu, the master.
But just when everyone was relaxing, she just happened to be in front of Wang Xu for the fifth time, and the long sword was still as fast as before. It's just that this time it's very different, the moment she took out her sword, the generals have stood up in shock, because the hissing sound and the strong murderous aura are completely different from just now. The most critical thing is. In the midst of a rapid swing. The blade of the sword flew out entirely, and what flashed in front of everyone's eyes was a thin blade glowing with a faint blue light. It turned out to be a sword hidden in a sword!
Without waiting for everyone to react, they had already stabbed Wang Xu in an instant, but Cui Ying's face was also extremely complicated at the moment.
"Bell!" Just when everyone was half frightened to death by this sudden attack, a crisp roar suddenly shook people's teeth.
A tall bronze wine bottle was impartial, just covering the tip of the sword within the sword. Wang Xu's face was calm, without the slightest surprise.
The complexity of Cui Ying's face disappeared in an instant, and she was terrified, she didn't expect Wang Xu's martial arts to be so strong, and she actually picked up a wine bottle at random, and blocked her long-awaited full force blow. It's just that now I can't care about it so much. With a twist of his wrist, he struggled to pick up the wine bottle in Wang Xu's hand, intending to stab it again.
It's a pity that Wang Xu will give her where he will, he instantly bullied up, grabbed her wrist, took the long sword to the side, and grabbed Cui Ying's neck with the other hand.
This qiΔ all happened between the electric light and flint until this time. The angry shouts of the ministers came at the right time.
"Bold!"
"Thieves dare!"
"There is no owner of the wounded."
It's just that these voices were quickly subdued with Cui Ying. It is also gradually disappearing into invisibility.
Cui Ying was held in Wang Xu's arms and struggled a little unwillingly. As if trying to break free, his eyes also showed a hateful gaze.
"Stop struggling, you've already lost! Zhang Ning! You don't get a second chance. β
With Wang Xu's faint words, Cui Ying was shocked and trembled. After a moment, his whole body went limp, and he sighed as if he was resigned to his fate. "I can't think of all kinds of calculations, but you still see through it!"
"Hehe, if you're not so kind, maybe you can hide it!" Wang Xu smiled slightly and said softly: "Originally, I just saw that you were familiar, but you have changed a lot, and it is impossible for me to recognize you." It wasn't until your hesitation after the sword dance was brought up that the flaw was revealed, and then a few more hesitations, that I gradually remembered the girl who had vowed to kill me. β
As he spoke, Wang Xu sighed slowly, and the memories of many years ago also slowly flashed in his mind. "I promised you that I would wait for you to kill me, but you will never be able to kill me now. Even if you don't hesitate from beginning to end and completely hide from everyone, you can't kill me because you're not strong enough! Even if I'm unprepared, I can dodge your blow in at least five ways and fight back. β
A look of grief and indignation appeared on Zhang Ning's face, and he was about to answer, but Zhang Jing in the hall was suddenly so excited that he couldn't control himself. "Ning'er, are you really Ning'er?"
Summoned by this somewhat familiar but infinitely unfamiliar voice, Zhang Ning was shocked, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye. After a long time, he took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, and said coldly: "Not bad! It's me, just to avenge my father. Since you have failed today, if you want to kill, you must listen to your respect. β
"Ning'er!" Zhang Jing has always regarded Zhang Ning as his own sister, and when she heard her words, her heart suddenly felt distressed.
Most of the people in the hall were puzzled at this point, not understanding what was going on. The only people who know, I'm afraid that the only ones who know are Zhou Zhi and Xu Huang, who were the same as the Yellow Turbans back then. But seeing this scene at this moment, both of them sighed and did not speak again.
Wang Xu pushed Zhang Ning forward forcefully, causing him to break out of his embrace. "Zhang Ning, I remember you asked me back then, why did you kill people, right! I wonder if you still want to know the answer? β
Zhang Ning, who was weak, was surrounded by the generals at the moment, knowing that there was no chance again, and he had no idea of resisting, so he sat on the ground, his thin body looked extremely helpless, as if he was back in the little girl crying and escaping back then.
Hearing Wang Xu's question, there was finally a trace of hope in his eyes full of confusion, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" β
"Good!" Wang Xu waved his hand heavily, and his eyes calmly looked into Zhang Ning's eyes. "Then I sue you, I kill people for the sake of the world! For the peace and prosperity of the world! In order to have less killing in the future! Maybe I can't keep everyone fed and clothed, but at least, I can guarantee that most people won't die under the butcher's knife. β
But now Zhang Ning obviously didn't understand, and instantly shouted hoarsely: "Is there no other way?" Do you have to kill someone? Why? Why? β
"I don't need to explain this, you can think for yourself. Today, when the smoke is everywhere, if you don't stop killing by killing, how can you be stable? Look at the people of Jingzhou, not to mention that they have enough food and clothing, but at least they have a way to live, and I will do my best to make their lives better. That's the purpose! β
Zhang Ning has been wandering in a foreign country all these years, and he is no longer the simple child he was back then, of course, he has understood a lot. It's just that the obsession in his heart still makes it difficult to let go. She didn't argue with Wang Xu's words, she looked up to the sky and sighed: "Forget it, these don't mean anything to me, kill me!" Revenge or not, I didn't plan to get out alive in the first place. β
"I won't kill you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Wang Xu in astonishment.
But Wang Xu didn't care at all, and said to himself: "You go!" You're a kind woman, think about it, you'll understand. Back then, your father directly caused the whole world to turmoil, and the Yellow Turban thieves burned and looted everywhere, and if the Yellow Turbans were not destroyed, what could they do? β
Zhang Ning was also stunned at the moment, never thought that Wang Xu would let her go.
"Lord!" Lying down, the ministers immediately spoke one after another, obviously wanting to admonish.
Wang Xu waved his hand undoubtedly, and said affirmatively: "Let her go!" β
Zhang Ning, who was in excitement, suddenly cried: "Don't think that I will forgive you for such hypocrisy." If you don't kill me, I'll assassinate you sooner or later! β
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled, and his face showed a hint of gentleness. "Okay, it's still the same sentence, I'll wait for you to kill me!" (To be continued.) )
