Chapter 11 Against the Light

Kyoto Shotokuden

The emperor summoned General Nardu and his daughter Ulan Bi to the palace.

"General, I heard that the county lord is in slightly ill health, I wonder if his condition will improve recently?"

On the day of the wedding, the emperor named Ulan Bi as the county lord of the Yuan Dynasty.

"There is the love of Emperor Lao, the little girl has just arrived in Dadu and is not adaptable, and she has a rash on her face, and she is holy today, lest she disturb the holy face."

Nartu is a calm and dignified veteran general, respectful and decent.

"Dad, do you think your daughter is ugly in front of the emperor?"

Ulan Bi on the side protested dissatisfiedly.

"Haha! The county lord is really bold and cheerful as rumored, and he has a true temperament. Imperial Doctor Zhou is a famous doctor from a family in the capital, and today I sent him to prescribe a prescription for the county lord. ”

The emperor made a decisive decision.

"The minister is terrified, how dare you bother Imperial Doctor Zhou in this matter."

Nardu naturally knows that Imperial Doctor Zhou is a royal doctor who specializes in regulating the pulse of the emperor, and he is quite famous, and he has won this honor, which really shows that Nardu has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart.

"The general doesn't have to refuse, I also hope that the county lord will recover soon, there has been no happy event in the palace for a long time, I am waiting to drink the wedding wine of the king and the county lord."

The emperor's eyes were shining and he was in a good mood.

"Weichen and his little daughter thanked the emperor for his grace."

Nardu stepped forward and knelt down to thank the emperor.

"Thank you for your grace."

Ulan Bi was overjoyed, as long as she could be cured of this strange disease quickly, and she no longer had to cover her face with a veil every day, she would be happy.

Thinking very excited, when she got up, the corner of the veil slipped off suddenly, revealing a black rash dotted on her face, she quickly covered her face with her hands, and lowered her eyebrows.

The emperor naturally saw it clearly and was shocked.

"The little girl has no form, disturbing the emperor."

Nardo was terrified.

"It's okay, the general doesn't have to remember! Imperial Doctor Zhou will definitely be able to heal the county lord's face and restore it to its original appearance. The emperor comforted.

"The minister thanked the emperor, and the minister retired."

Nardo and Ulan Bi slowly withdrew from the temple.

Walking out of the Zhaode Palace, Nardu's expression was serious and he was silent all the way.

Ulan Bi followed.

"Daddy." Ulan Bi finally couldn't help it, and snorted, "Are you angry?" ”

"You wear this veil every day, you are safe, why does the veil fall off when you see the emperor today?"

There was no joy or anger on Nardu's face.

"I can't hide anything from you! Then you should know that the emperor summoned me, he must have wanted to know if I was really sick or pretending to be sick, since he wanted to know, let's push the boat down the river to let him see clearly, wouldn't it be better! ”

Ulan Bi said with a serious expression.

"Spirits!" Nardu smiled, and then said earnestly, "The emperor is careful that your marriage with King Yan will not be successful, it seems that the emperor is quite anxious." ”

"The emperor is in a hurry, and I'm not in a hurry. Daddy, presumably you're not in a hurry to marry off such a weak daughter, right? ”

Ulan Bi's big smart eyes were rolling and purring, and she said in a colorful voice.

"Weak?" Nardu shook his head lightly and smiled helplessly, "You are stronger than Daddy's hundred elite soldiers!" ”

"Where?" Ulan Bijiao defended drippingly.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and Ulan Bi took General Nardo's arm and returned satisfied.

Along the way, the carriages and horses moved slowly, Mo Xie Longli and Qing Congque, talking about swords and pianos, cooking tea and words, and had an unforgettable time.

By the drizzly pond, Qing Congque wore a hat and a robe, and fished quietly with a bated voice.

In the small pavilion, Mo Xie Takili sat leisurely with a purple futon cushion, a flowing firefly silk fan in her hand swaying gently, her eyes were calm, she was attracted by the extremely focused demeanor of the person in the drizzle, and she didn't feel that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Takiri, do I have a kind of light hat, green clothes, and slanting wind and drizzle at this time?"

Qing Congque turned his head and smiled.

"Yes, the fish are coming!"

Mo Xie Takili will be unconsciously rendered by her happiness when she is with her, and when she sees the fishing line floating in the pond, she shakes her fan and shouts happily.

"Ahh Don't run away, fish, I'm going to catch you to make fish soup. ”

Qing Congque was quite excited, she shouted like this, how could the fish not run, the fish was gone, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Mo Xie Takili leaned lightly in the pavilion, watching her smile so comfortably, people unconsciously let go of their whole body tiredness, as if they immediately fell into another extremely comfortable space with her.

Qing Cong simply took off his coat and walked over stupidly:

"We're here to take a good look at the scenery, and it wouldn't be a disappointment if we had a few more nasty things to probe our brains."

"It's not easy to follow all the way."

Mo Xie Takiri raised his eyes and smiled, his eyes were leisurely.

I saw Qing Congque's hands raised to his chest, left and right palms, a wave of cloud palms along the way, where the palm was windy, the surrounding trees rustled, the pond splashed, and the seven or eight people hiding behind the hillside were immediately injured, wailing again and again, and rolling and crawling were blasted out.

"Get out!" Qing Congque stood sideways in the pavilion, his left hand caressing his hair, his beautiful eyes slightly disgusted, and his voice was majestic.

Seeing such a huge disparity between the two forces, the other party fled for his life in panic.

Mo Xie Takili's gratitude is self-evident:

"Thanks to you all the way."

"We deserve it." Qing Congque smiled like a flower, she turned to the empty woods and said, "You have all seen it, we will return to Vulture Mountain safely, we can go back to our lives, and let us live in peace." ”

The four men in Tsing Yi flew down from the treetops, arched their hands to the two of them, and then disappeared.

"We're quiet now."

Qing Congque blinked.

They knew that on the way down from Laishan Temple, there had always been Du Hanyi's people secretly protecting them.

"The carriage is here, haven't you always wanted to eat Maxi dumplings, the best thing to eat is the old woman's house under the stone bridge, let's go."

Mo Xie Takiri expected that if she wanted to make such a fuss, she would definitely be hungry.

"I'm so hungry, go eat Maxi dumplings."

Qing Congque happily went to pack his things.

Mo Xie Takili stood behind her, looking at her happy and busy figure, grateful in her heart---Thank you, for being with you all the way!" If you need me one day, you will do your best.

In the carriage, Qing Congque held Mo Xie Takili's hand and said:

"These two brothers of mine have been outstanding since childhood, heroes of the world. Senior Brother Du is very talented and broad-minded, and I wish Senior Brother indulgence and freedom, which is unparalleled in the world. Do you know that the first head of Laishan Temple was Senior Brother Zhu, but he refused to take over the throne, and then passed it on to Senior Brother Du. I wish my brother lost his mother at an early age, although he was a royal nobleman, but he had a bad fate, along the way, countless experiences and forbearance, he never disputed what he should not get, he has always loved the people, loyal and righteous, during which how much personal suffering and unknown only pay a smile. Over the years, he has long been accustomed to being indifferent and quiet, I have never seen him care so much about what and who cares so much, Takili, you are open-minded and thorough by nature, do you care about the difference between the court and the rivers and lakes, the establishment of good and evil factions, and the difference between the Han people and the Yuan people? ”

This is the Qing Congque that Mo Xie Takili knows, she has quick thinking, insight into feelings, delicate thoughts, and true emotions.

"Since the destruction of the Cave Heaven Pavilion, we have realized that there are so many traps and swords in this world, and there will be treacherous people in the so-called famous and upright families, righteous and lonely bravery, and the so-called evil sects and alien races, as well as upright and bright, and people who see injustice. Asking myself, right and wrong, I have tortured myself countless times in the dark night, and I often think about who to find for this kind of cause and effect, all kinds of hatred. I am very grateful for his contributions, and now for me, I can no longer be at peace with the two sides of the rivers and lakes in the DPRK and China. To him, I only owe two words. ”

Mo Xie's eyes are clear and bright, Qing Congque is the most understanding person, and now that he has said this to her, he can also face it openly.

"Okay, how old is I, I haven't experienced everything you've been through, and I haven't been able to feel your heartache. In the future, we will work together to protect your family, don't be sad, I won't mention this. ”

Qing Congque once again looked at the powerful and quiet woman in front of him, and unconsciously admired a little more.

For a moment, Mo Xie's eyes were gloomy:

"I already know your heart to protect me, but the last thing I want to see is that you are involved. On that day, my father instructed us not to seek revenge, he should think about the lives of more people in the Tianxia faction, and also the lives of more people in the martial arts in the DPRK, he was generous and benevolent, and originally wanted to settle everyone well and leave a smooth road for us, but after all, we went against his wishes and caused today's situation. In the battle of Laishan Temple, there were countless casualties, how many more people are there in this world, as lonely as us, losing loved ones, I am really confused. ”

"I have recently learned about what happened, the deceased is gone, and I hope you will mourn and cherish it. No matter what you choose in the future, I will be on your side. Do you have an idea? Takiri. ”

Qing Congque had a strong premonition.

"I think this matter will eventually come to an end, and Elder Chasing Light, Uncle Bai Ming, you, or many others will not take any more responsibility for this matter."

Mo Xie Takili secretly made up her mind, and at this moment, her eyes were like the brightest stars in the night, dazzling streamers.

"Thou shalt not act presumptuously ......"

In the next second, Qing Congque felt that her whole body was sore, and she slowly turned her head to look at the small brown incense burner burning in the carriage.

"I'm sorry, sister, let's go back to the Snow Sword Pavilion first, if I can come back from this trip, I will compensate you."

Mo Xie Taki's words are true.

"Takiri ...... Come back. ”

Qing Congque's voice was separated from the curtain of the car, and Mo Xie Takili jumped out of the carriage and walked away resolutely.

The water inkstone is not an inkstone painting boat

Sun Chu accompanied Mo Xie Yunshu to paint next to the bookcase:

"Yun Ji, your "Gray Fishing Picture" is vividly painted, and a guest bid 200 gold to buy it yesterday."

"Sunchu, do you like to draw?"

"I can't say it, when I was a child, Qi Niang took me to be an embroiderer in Zhou Yuanwai's house, I watched his young master keep painting all day long, and I felt that he painted exactly the same as the real one, but he had never painted." Sunchu smiled and groaned.

"I'll teach you how to draw, and you'll be able to draw well in no time with your cleverness."

Mo Xieyun's eyes are full of expectations.

"Really, as long as you don't dislike me for being stupid."

"Where are you stupid? During this time, I found out that you can learn what you know! ”

Mo Xie Yunshu praised.

"Then I'm willing to learn." Sun Chu nodded.

"When you learn it, we will travel all over the world with my sister and paint all over the world." Mo Xie Yunshu slowly picked up the painting on his right hand and said to himself, "My painting is less than one thousandth of my sister's, after all, it is just a shape, and it is rare to get the essence." I wonder when my sister will return? ”

"Yun Ji, do you miss your sister, don't be refreshed, wait for her to come back, give you some pointers, it will definitely be a thousand miles a day, and there will be great benefits."

Sunchu is always so warm and delicate.

"Sun Chu is right, I just need to keep this painting boat and wait for my sister to come back with peace of mind."

Mo Xie Yunshu secretly decided to work harder, and after picking up the pen and pondering it carefully, she gradually became much calmer along the way.

At this time, the outer court came to report:

"Miss Huisi, there is a calligrapher and painting in the front hall, and he specified that he wants "Ten Thousand Miles of Flowing Clouds".

Mo Yeyun's eyes were calm:

"I'll go out and have a look."

In the middle of the antechamber stood a dusty foreigner. He saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old who came out to greet him, and there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

"Why do you want to buy this painting? In addition to this painting, the other paintings in the painting boat are all by famous artists, and they are not inferior in any way. ”

Mo Xie Yunshu was also looking at him carefully in the rather hesitant gaze of the comer. You must know that this "Ten Thousand Miles of Flowing Clouds" is a secret message of the painting boat, and outsiders will not know about it.

"Dare to ask, are you the master of the painting boat?"

"This is the fourth lady of the painting boat who moves the water." Sun's first return.

"Please see Miss Takiri, I'm in a hurry." The man was very cautious.

Mo Xie Yunshu was surprised:

"I won't tell you, my sister has not returned from going out, may I ask your Excellency?"

The person who came made a salute, and was slightly anxious:

"Since Miss Takili is not here, I ask to see Prince Zhen, I am a close confidant of Princess Hanmu of Siyue Kingdom."

Mo Xie Yunshu suddenly felt uneasy, it turned out to be Princess Hanmu's person, not long ago, I heard Mu Xingji say that he wrote a letter to the princess to inform the princess of a series of things that happened in the Tianxia faction, but he never thought that the princess's people would arrive so soon.

"I have a warrant from the princess here."

Lierwu solemnly pulled out a token engraved with the word 'Hanmu'.

Mo Xie Yunshu took the token and looked at it, unable to calm down in his heart:

"Please sit in the inner court. Sunchu, please come over! ”

She had a hunch that today's events would be extraordinary.

The inner courtyard of the painting boat

When the moon is in the sky, quietly looking down on the earth, the wisps of silver-white light decorate the night with extraordinarily soft beauty.

Jin He took the letters sent back by the lords of each gate:

"The four masters of Qu, Duan, Li, and Xue are now safe and hidden, so we don't have to worry."

"We have also been seriously injured this time, and we can only recuperate for the next period of time." Mu Xingji took out Princess Hanmu's edict, and his eyes were dark: "There is one more thing, my aunt ordered me to take Takiri back to think about Yue Kingdom." ”

"How's that going to work? I don't agree, let alone go to Siyue Country. ”

Mo Xie Pingwei strongly objected.

"Dad's last wish is that Yun Longli will never return to Yue Guo for the rest of his life."

Mo Xiewen's eyes were like sword light, and he reiterated.

Mu Xingji raised his eyes and looked out of the painting boat, his eyes wandered, and his mood was heavy, :

"The master left three instructions in front of him, one is not to take revenge, and the other is that Yun Longli will not return to Siyue Kingdom, and the master's instructions are still in my ears."

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Jin He admonished:

"Let's listen to Takiri's wishes about this matter."

"We all understand Master's deep meaning, but now my aunt is seriously ill and lingering on the sickbed, and I just want to see Takiri."

Mu Xingji's voice became lower and lower, like a trace of breath from a drowning man.

"Ah......h

"Let my sister go back to the Yue Kingdom, the princess is my sister's only dear elder in this world, blood is thicker than water, I think, my father and mother don't want my sister to leave any regrets."

Mo Yeyun's firm tone was like a ray of morning glow breaking through the clouds, and it was instantly clear in all directions.

Everyone looked at Mo Xie Yun, this period of turbulent days passed in a hurry, and unconsciously, Mo Xie Yunshu had come out of the slim, quiet and dignified, what she said was sincere, and why not.

Jin He's eyes were full of appreciation:

"Uncle Mo was not bound by the old path during his lifetime, and he was not afraid of small sections, and he must have this intention in the future, but now Yun Ji is more transparent than us."

Mu Xingji was stunned for a moment, as if he saw the shadow of Mo Xie Takili, and then thought about it, Mo Xie Yunji has been almost inseparable from Mo Xie Takili since he was a child, and he is naturally the person who is most like her.

"I just feel sorry for my sister and you to have to make these two dilemmas again."

Mo Xieyun's eyes are like a clear spring.

"Yun Ji has grown up."

Mu Xingji was relieved.

"Yes, we are delicate, well-organized, and a good partner."

Mo Xie Pingwei praised.

Mo Xie Yunshu looked at Sun Chu beside him, who was also looking at her silently at this time, smiling quietly.

"Well, we found out that Takili has come down from Laishan Temple, and Senior Brother Mu and I will go to pick her up, and Big Brother and Senior Brother Jin Yunshu and Sunchu will stay in Liushui." Mo Xiewen was as careful as a hair, "After we meet, we will discuss the details of going to Siyue Country from Yanshui." ”

Jin He nodded in agreement:

"In the last battle, the Tianxia faction is really in urgent need of rest, you can go with peace of mind, we will strictly guard the door, rectify everything, and wait for your return."

Everyone unanimously agreed, with Jinhe staying, there will be no worries.

In the bamboo courtyard, Mo Yeyun stood on tiptoe and looked at the stream.

"Yunji, what are you looking at?"

Jin Ha followed her gaze.

"Shhhh

Mo Xie Yunshu covered his mouth with his fingers.

It turned out that Mo Xie Pingwei helped Sun Chu to carry a full load of washed clothes and was walking back, under the sunset, the stream was murmuring, and the swallows were flying obliquely.

"Is there something wrong?" Kim Ha smiled.

Mo Xie Yunshu turned around and said:

"My eldest brother has always been a wooden head, and he is very upright, since he was injured in Laishan Temple, he has changed as a person, he will smile at Sister Sunchu, and he will help her carry her clothes, which is incredible!"

Mo Yeyun's exaggerated expression made Jin He laugh:

"That's not because Sunchu took care of his injuries so well."

"Don't laugh! You understand so well, but do you know why Sister Ruoxu ignores you when she ignores you? “

Mo Xie Yunshu turned his head and asked strangely.

"You're a big ghost! Tell me why? ”

Jin He laughed even louder.

"You're going to tell her, you know? Tell her and listen to me! ”

Mo Xie Yunshu looked at him very seriously, nodded and said.

Jin He was stunned, although Mo Xie Yunji was young, he really deserved to be bright-eyed and smart.

"I see that they have talked about it almost, Senior Brother Jin, I went to find Sister Sunchu to practice swords."

She ran away happily, leaving Jinhe alone to stand thoughtfully.

Mt. Kwai towards the flower gate

Chaohuamen is hidden in the south of Kwai Mountain, the ginseng trees in the mountains are towering, the mountain road is tortuous, the cliffs are lined up, the terrain is precipitous like a situation, and it is little known to the world.

A woman dressed in purple knelt quietly in front of the Chaohua Gate, only to see that she was handsome and delicate, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a firm gaze.

A soft sigh came from inside the door:

"Xiao'er, do you understand, I'm afraid that what you ask for is not what you get, and after ups and downs, you will eventually have regrets."

The woman in purple is the daughter of Tang Bai, the head of Chaohuamen, and Tang Wuxiao, the third-ranked disciple of Laishan Temple.

"My daughter understands that my mother has high expectations for me, and I hope that I will go back to Chaohua this time to learn the affairs of the door and take care of Chaohuamen, but my daughter still has one thing to do, and she can't come back wholeheartedly.

"I know a lot of things, where is there so much clear understanding, when you want to try to get to the bottom of it, in fact, you have already lost."

Tang Bai's quiet and soft voice came slowly, making the listeners feel comfortable.

"My daughter has no regrets."

Tang Wuxiao was determined.

"I really didn't give birth to your father's gentle temperament, but I was very much like me. You go, but do you know the consequences of violating the rules of the door like this, disobeying the orders of your parents, giving up your reputation, and treating a person wholeheartedly? ”

There is no trace of ups and downs in the words, only infinite majesty.

"My daughter knows."

Tang Wuxiao lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Even if you are the only descendant of Chaohuamen, you can't be an exception, go." Now the tone is resolute.

"Let my daughter kowtow goodbye."

Tang Wu smiled with tears in his eyes and kowtowed three times to the door.

There was a pause in the door, Tang Wuxiao slowly stood up and walked away, but looked back several times, only to see that the stone door was closed, and there was no intention of opening it.

Holding back her tears, she flew away.
