Chapter 33: Jing Ke in a Dream
Uncle Achuan's carriage was steady and fast, and he returned to the foot of the octagonal mountain in a daze, hastily ate dinner, drank the decoction boiled by Uncle Achuan, and fell asleep with his head on the pillow.
The fog fills the river, and the moon crosses the river. When she opened her eyes again, her legs were already on the riverbank.
This is the Lethe River? When she was convulsed, she walked into the Lechuan River in a daze, and her father and mother were on the other side of the river, so that she could continue to live vividly.
Wrong! There is no robbery of the red lotus here, and there are no deceased people. Here it is, on the banks of the Yishui River!
She stood in the layers of mist, watching an unfamiliar figure slowly approach her. Even though it was in a dream, Twilight still vigilantly touched the sword at her waist.
Hey, I didn't bring it!
As the fog cleared, the cold moonlight covered the vast riverbank like snow. There is no bamboo row of Uncle Achuan in the river, and there is no trace of microwaves, from the center of the river to the riverbank, it is surprisingly quiet!
She had never seen such a quiet, watery river as a pond!
Before she could be surprised, the figure had already walked in front of her. She hurriedly raised her scrutinizing eyes and looked up and down at the comer, only to see that the other party had a Chinese face and a small beard, which was unremarkable, but had a pair of lonely eyes.
"You're not the one I'm waiting for." The man's voice was not good, and there was a hint of alcohol.
The cold wind blows the willow leaves on the riverbank, obviously it is winter, how can the green willows come from?
Yan Du watched the strange wind blowing the other party's clothes, only to see him holding a sword in his right hand and wine in his left hand, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I don't know!" She put her hands behind her back, and her waist stood upright like poplars: "Dare to ask Brother Tai?" ”
The other party smiled when he heard the words and said, "My name is Jing Ke." ”
Yan Du was really confused at this time, she frowned suspiciously, and asked, "Are you Jing Ke?" ”
Admittedly, this is a question that does not need to be answered, and the person who called himself Jing Ke smiled again, his little beard shook a little, and said, "You often practice swords here. ”
Yan Dui opened her big apricot eyes and asked, "How do you know?" ”
I saw Jing Ke take a big sip of wine, some fine wine flowed from his mouth, wafting out a plum blossom fragrance, he slowly walked to the willow tree, stroked its not too thick trunk and said, "This willow told me." ”
I don't know why, in this situation, Yan Du felt that he was Jing Ke, and he was the Yishui hero who had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to leave for Qin!" Jing Ke raised the sword in his hand, the bronze sword did not have the rust of history, it was as new as Jing Ke's tomorrow.
"But it's not this sword!" Jing Ke had a smile in the corner of his eyes, but his eyes were full of loneliness, how could he hold the sword openly in assassination!
Yan Du lowered his head and pondered, not knowing how to answer, should he tell him that the future is unbearable? Or should we hope on the day of goodbye?
After thinking about it, in the end, I had to ask the ghost:
"Why did you go to assassinate Qin?"
"Why?" Jing Ke listened to Yan Duan's words, looked up at the Yishui River in front of him, which was not flowing for them, and said, "If you ask 'He' and what is the reason, I may not be able to answer!" ”
"But if you say 'Ho' for whom, then I can tell you!"
Jing Ke looked at the person in front of him, not the person he was waiting for, and he had no chance in the end.
"When I was young, I traveled in the country, and I happened to see a woman with a sad expression, standing on the bridge and looking around, I wanted to go back and ask, but because I had an appointment with a friend, I had to leave in a hurry."
Yan Du looked at Jing Ke quietly, he raised the wine jar and drank it in a big gulp, his eyes gradually red with the smell of wine.
The next day, when she returned to the same place, the woman had thrown herself into the river and died, and when she inquired, she found that her husband had been conscripted into the army, and that he had already been shrouded in horse leather. His son was seriously ill for many days and died of poverty and lack of medical care. The fertile land in the family was occupied, her father and brother abandoned it, and the neighbors denounced her as obscure, and she was the only one who died! ”
Jing Ke lowered his head and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but his tone was full of sadness:
After listening to it, I realized that she was looking at me that day! If I had turned around and asked her, she probably wouldn't have jumped! ”
Even if there is only a trace of stranger tenderness, you can light a candle to live alone!
Jing Ke waved the sword in his hand against the hazy and obscure sky, and his style was slightly similar to Yi Shui's sword technique.
"That's when I had an epiphany! The sword in my hand is for those who hope for peace in the world! ”
Yan Dusk looked at the people who drank and danced the sword on the bank of the Yishui River steadily, and muttered in his mouth:
"People who hope for peace in the world ......"
Suddenly, the world was spinning, and she opened her eyes again, which had gradually cleared up, and there was darkness in front of her, and the moonlight came in, and the familiar table and chair in the room were completely presented in front of her.
She sat up slowly, her body still heavy, but her head was clear, and her hot heart was shouting:
Swing your sword! For those who hope for peace in the world!
Thinking of this, Twilight didn't want to waste a moment, so she jumped out of bed, grabbed the sword that was placed next to the bed, and pushed the door out of the room with the black.
Man is in the midst of thorns, not moving nor thorning. The heart is in the world, and it does not move or hurt.
If you stab, you will endure yourself, and if you are injured, you will heal yourself!
She led the black wind horse that she rode at the beginning, and quietly walked out of the gate of the mansion, the night was misty, a crescent moon was neither bright nor dim, and the stars in the sky were not as bright as the fire in Yan Dusk's eyes.
"Where are you going?" Suddenly, Uncle Achuan's voice came quietly again.
When Yan Du heard the voice, his throat raised, and he turned his head to look at Uncle Achuan who was carrying an oil lamp. A thousand words, only two words:
"Kill."
The cold wind was bleak, Mei Chuan, who couldn't see through his heart, his eyelids were slightly lowered, and then he raised his hand, threw a fire fold to Yan Dui, who was leading the horse, and turned his head and said, "Go back early." ”
Without waiting for Yan Du to answer, he disappeared in an instant.
Yan Du took a deep breath of cold air, the hot arrogance in her chest was still unabated, and she jumped on her horse and rode away towards Yishui Town!
At two o'clock, the cold wind enters the winter, and every household closes the doors and windows to block the bleak wind and the difficult days.
Tonight, there was a woman who rode a black horse quietly across the city and stepped on the west wind to the top of the Lin Mansion.
——
Since being the county lord eight years ago, Lord Lin's originally thin body has become more and more rounded in recent years, and the people below say that he has a wide heart and a fat body, but he is an understanding person, there is no big fish and meat, abalone ginseng wings and belly waiting, and his heart is spacious and his stomach still has to starve!
Tonight I went out to the banquet, listening to a few flower girls playing the piano and dancing, tossing and turning, and then I arrived at the second watch, if it wasn't for the adults who wanted to see the capital tomorrow, I would have slept in the Yihong Courtyard tonight.
Ay! Missed the opportunity for a night of spring supper!
Lord Lin sighed and walked into his yard with his big belly. Unexpectedly, the entire courtyard was pitch black, and there was not even a single subordinate, which made the Qingtian lord in this county very angry!
"What the hell! Not a single one! Are they all dead! "I didn't see the pretense of seriousness on the yamen, nor did I see the Si Gao Si Jing at the banquet, at this moment, Lord Lin grinned with his mouth full of yellow teeth, and scolded loudly at the dark courtyard.
The voice didn't seem to alarm anyone, Lord Lin chuckled in his heart now, but he still pretended to be calm, and hurriedly ran to the room where there was still a glimmer of light.
With a babbling sound, the wooden door was vigorously pushed open, and Master Lin, who had only run ten steps, had a rabbit head and roe brain's face full of sweat, and his panting breath was full of flowers and wine.
A gust of cold wind blew from nowhere, blowing the oil lamp in the room flickering, and Lord Lin saw a young boy sitting in front of the tea table in the room, drinking his treasured Biluo spring tea.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Lord Lin looked at the person in front of him intently, his face was handsome and harmless, but his eyebrows stood upright, revealing a bit of chivalry.
Yan Dusk, who waited for a while, was already suffering from the wind and cold, and his eyelids were sleepy, and when he saw that the person he was going to kill finally came back, he looked at him with a smile, his face was like a peach blossom in March, but his words were like the wax moon and flying frost:
"I'm an assassin, and here, I'm going to kill you!"
When Lord Lin caught a glimpse of the sword on the table of the young man who claimed to be an assassin, he immediately rushed out of the door in fright, shouting: "Someone! Help me! Help me! ”
Seeing this, Yan Du snapped his fingers, and the wooden door slammed shut, blocking Lord Lin's way. I saw her take another sip of Biluochun, and sure enough, the fragrance was around her teeth: "Don't scream, I've fainted!" ”
Lord Lin saw him sitting like this, unhurried, and respected all the way, where could it withstand the other party's step-by-step pressure: "I don't believe it!" My guards will never ......"
"Guards?" Yan Du listened to Lord Lin's words, suddenly raised his head and said, "I killed a few familiar ones." ”
Seeing that he was yelling so loudly, but no one came, Lord Lin also guessed it, so he hurriedly rushed to the wooden door again, and this time he was about to run out after hitting the door!
Yan Du raised one eye, caught a glimpse of the chubby figure, striding with difficulty, and then leisurely put down the teacup in his hand.
Drawing the sword in his right hand, the sword wind waved, and the oil lamp flickered again! If the sword in his hand is fast enough, when the flesh and bone are separated, there will be no sound at all!
Lord Lin's legs had already been cut off in unison, and his fat upper body lost its support and fell backwards to the floor. The next moment, blood and pain splattered violently.
"Ahh Yes! He screamed frantically, the sharp pain in his leg that he had to scream to relieve himself.
Passing by the husband who beat the guard, when he heard this heart-rending cry, he couldn't help but think: This Lin Mansion is teaching people a lesson again, and it seems that several people have been killed before, listening to this voice, I thought it was killing pigs!
The husband shivered a few times, and hurriedly spread his legs away from this unfortunate place.
Covering her ears, she said to the people on the ground with some apologies:
"Xiaosheng, my first time I killed someone, it is inevitable that I will be a little rusty, you will have to be tired for a while!"
Lord Lin, who was in great pain, may have passed the most painful time, or his nerves were paralyzed by the pain, and he still had the strength to say to Yan Dui, who was sitting in place: "Please, hero!" Leave me alone! I don't dare anymore! ”
"Don't dare?" Yan Duying frowned, she only knew the personal fraud that the people said, and she really didn't know the specifics, she smiled, and said with interest to Lord Lin on the ground:
"Then tell me what you did wrong!"
Lord Lin opened his eyes that were about to tear the corners of his eyes, and looked at the white jade boy in front of him in horror, what did he do wrong? Isn't it just that he killed some civilians and was greedy for some money, this Daheng is like him, and there are more officials than him! Why did he die!
"I, I ......" Lord Lin was hesitant, where could he say something.
Yan Du looked at it, those eyes suddenly lost interest, his eyelids drooped, the sword in his hand waved, the blood gushed out from his neck, and the head of the dog officer on the ground had fallen to the ground!
"I don't want to hear it!"
The cold voice, like a bloodthirsty Shura, suddenly sounded in the bloody night!!
She's not done yet, though......
