Chapter 27: Too Many Enemies
In the silent night, the moon shadow is slightly drunk.
A slight gust of wind passed through the quiet ginkgo forest, and the leaves that were hanging on the branches in autumn were blown by the wind, like a deep yellow and light yellow rain, falling all over the ground. The two hugged each other like this and were speechless, until Su Yin couldn't help but yawn sleepily. Chu Lan looked up at the whitening sky, and then asked, "Sleepy?" ”
"Hmm." After saying this, Su Yin lazily lay in Chu Lan's arms and didn't want to move anymore, she pulled Chu Lan's sleeve and motioned for Chu Lan to send her home.
"Sleep." Chu Lan said softly.
……
Su Yin still returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because of Chu Lan's appearance, she no longer had the intention of escaping. Although she can cowardly huddle in a remote village as she did when she first came to this world, and face the possible outcome with evasion. But what about Chu Lan? In the original book, he lost his ownership power and status, and his final whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.
Did you leave him like that? Su Yin shook her head and admitted that she couldn't do it.
Overnight, the news that King Cheng would marry the princess spread throughout Kyoto.
Dingqin, Najib, all kinds of jewelry, colorful silk cakes, incense candles and other things came batch after batch, which shows Chu Haochen's cherishment of Mo Qian. The women of the whole Kyoto are all envious of the good luck of the eldest lady of the Mo family.
Mo Shen cried, made trouble and hanged himself, but he still couldn't stop Mo Qianqian and Chu Haochen's marriage. Except for the fact that the Prime Minister was so annoyed that he pulled off a few beards, kicked him a few more times, and increased the time of confinement for a few more days, everything was going on in an orderly manner.
However, the original book is only a novel after all, and the plot of the novel revolves around the perspective of the heroine. The plot of the original book is still much narrower for this whole living world. In places where the heroine can't see, things that have nothing to do with her are happening all the time.
For example, Mo Qianqian, who was sitting obediently in the prime minister's mansion to be married, was obviously not interested in coming to this legendary "martial arts conference". Su Yin thought.
The world of the heroine in the original book has few descriptions of the rivers and lakes. The identities of the male protagonists are also noble, such as emperors, princes, etc., and the stories of the female protagonists naturally revolve around the male protagonists, and do not involve disputes in the rivers and lakes. Although Mo Han and Wan Qi Leng Ye are considered to be people in the rivers and lakes, they are still the kind that can be ranked. But the two have entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes who have a bold temper and have never been contaminated by the court, who call themselves 'heroes', this kind of behavior of being lackeys for court officials and pursuing glory and wealth is obviously very cheap.
They are dismissive.
Just as Su Yin came in and sat at the table for only half a cup of tea, she had already heard the muscular uncle on the left scolding Wan Qi for being cold at night no less than five times. The middle-aged man on the right, who was scrawny but slashed on the bench, gulped down soju, and was more aggressive than a bandit, also criticized the 'lore' on the master list from character to martial arts, from hair to toenails......
The lore is Mo Han's reputation in the rivers and lakes.
Seeing what they said, Su Yin couldn't help but curiously pull Chu Lan's sleeve, leaned into his ear, lifted the corner of the hat, and asked mysteriously: "Is it true that the lore has never taken a bath for more than 20 years?" ”
Su Yin thought back to the Mo Han she knew, and then listened to the description of the people here: his face was like a black pot, his body was full of stench, and people and animals covered their noses and walked away wherever he went. Su Yin couldn't help but wonder if the lore Mo Han mentioned in the original book was the same person as the lore that this group of martial arts people were talking about?
Chu Lan laughed when he heard this, and said, "The rumors of the rivers and lakes cannot be believed. ”
Seeing that Su Yin was puzzled, Chu Lan explained again: "People who have many enemies have a bad reputation. ”
Su Yin nodded suddenly in realization, it turned out that the enemy deliberately smeared it. She thought that this was probably this: I can't beat you, and I have to find a way to disgust your mood, right? Human nature, Su Yin expressed understanding. After all, she has also said bad things about many people behind her back, especially those who have offended her.
Such a person in the rivers and lakes who is happy to enmity and revenge, but does not use his words, makes Su Yin refreshed.
Thinking of this, Su Yin laughed and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chu Daxia, do you have many enemies?" ”
"It's fine." Chu Lan put down the teacup in his hand and replied. Su Yin was obviously not satisfied with this answer: "What does it mean that it's okay, is it a lot?" ”
Chu Lan said 'um', and had to admire this girl's intuitive sharpness.
"What is your name in the rivers and lakes?" There is no description of Chu Lan's identity in the original book, so Su Yin was so surprised when he knew that the ghost-faced man was Chu Lan. After that, he didn't ask again, and now this is a good opportunity, Su Yin obviously doesn't want to let it go. According to Chulan's kung fu, he is definitely not an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know if the 'rumors' about him are interesting?
She wanted to know.
Su Yin's eyes under the hat turned, and he smiled treacherously. Chu Lan didn't have to guess to know what this girl was thinking.
However, since Su Yin asked, Chu Lan naturally did not hide it, and he said a name: "Ghost Yama." ”
Su Yin: "The one ranked seventh on the master list?" ”
Chu Lan nodded.
Chu Lan did not wear his iconic mask today, but like Su Yin, he wore a black hat, covering his entire appearance, just like the most common outfit in the rivers and lakes, and the two were inconspicuous.
So here Chu Lan just nodded, and a head suddenly poked out from his side. The person who came was dressed as a scholar, with a clean appearance, holding a folding fan in his hand, and full of bookish air. He sat opposite Su Yin and Chu Lan uninvited, and interjected, "Are you talking about that ghost Yama?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Su Yin and the two to speak, the scholar introduced himself familiarly, "I am a clear man about this." ”
Someone brought a pillow while he was sleeping, Su Yin poured a cup of tea for the scholar and asked a few words with great interest.
"No one knows where he came from, but if you want to say that he really became famous, it was ten years ago that he broke into the name of this ghost Yama. Ten years ago, on the night of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the man carried a long sword, covered his face with a blood-colored grimace, and his body was full of evil aura, like a demon who had opened the door of a ghost and walked out of hell. With the strength of only one person, he killed the Liujia Villa, the owner of the Liuzhuang Villa, Liu Batian, who was nearly forty years old, and a set of supernatural palm techniques can be described as few opponents in the rivers and lakes, and he looked down on this fledgling ghost Yama, and later ...... It was really a massacre that changed the color of the situation, and hundreds of lives of the Liu family were killed overnight, and no one survived......"
Su Yin turned his head to look at Chu Lan: "Oh? ”
Regarding what the scholar said, Chu Lan spit out a sentence lightly: "Later, Liujia Villa was found to be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and Liu Batian was a spy of the Xia Kingdom. ”
