Chapter 63: Meeting
The blazing sunlight projected onto Zhao Yu's face through the complicated leaves, leaving small spots of light, he raised his head and squinted at the red sun that was slowly falling... After a while, he lowered his head and gasped heavily.
It has been two hours since he was robbed, he has been going around in this small forest, sweating a lot, but he still has not come out of this dense forest, the sun is about to set, if he does not find the right way when it gets dark, the consequences are unimaginable, after all, no one knows what kind of flood beast this forest will become after dark.
After walking for about half an hour, he saw the hope of going out, took a deep breath, tightened the pen and ink inkstone in his arms, and sped up.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that he finally stumbled out of the woods. Standing in the suddenly open space, Zhao Yu could no longer care about the scholar's reserve, and lay down on the ground, looking at the moon in the sky, gasping for breath.
He finally walked out of the woods, and at this moment, he just wanted to sleep well here, and as for the rest... He doesn't want to care about it for the time being, whether it's money or silver or anything, just let them pass away with the wind.
Zhao Yu lay on the ground for a long time, and finally came to his senses, got up from the ground, and patted the soil on his body again. All the money and silver on his body have been robbed, he is not familiar with life here, it is nothing to sleep on the streets, but there is no silver tael, how can he go back to Yanling? Do you want to lean on his two legs? Rubbing the warm/smooth/moist inkstone in his hand, a place slowly emerged in his heart.
-------------------------------------
Since Zhao Yu set off to participate in the palace examination, Yuelai Restaurant is still full every day, and most of the people who come to eat are students, all of whom have an attitude of not seeing Zhao Yu himself, and also going to the place where he often comes to eat to get a fairy attitude, Qiaozhi secretly laughed at the superstition of these people, and at the same time sorted out a 'student menu', and renamed the private room where Zhao Yu stayed Confucius and Mencius', the storyteller father and daughter also temporarily waved goodbye to the pride of the rivers and lakes, and turned to recite these Confucian and Mencian ways, the girl's crisp voice with the difficult four books and five classics, but there is a different taste.
After more than ten days, Qiaozhi finally made up for the deficit of the 'buffet' that day, and everything was developing in a good direction.
Another day of being woken up by the noise downstairs, yawning, Qiaozhi obediently got up, and let Qiuyue behind her comb her hair, now she is enjoying the days of being served more and more, if it weren't for Qingyue Qiuyue who doesn't know how to settle accounts, she even wants to hand over the job of accounting to them.
Sure enough, if you are a person, you can't escape the true fragrance theorem, and now she has adapted to the life of this rice worm. Leaning comfortably on the back of the chair, Qiao Zhi closed her eyes and murmured: "Bai Gongzi and Xiuzhu have already left?" ”
Qingyue straightened her hair, pulled a simple bun, and took off the hairpin that was bitten in her mouth and inserted it diagonally, before she had time to answer her: "Bai Gongzi and Xiuzhu left early in the morning, and they should be about to leave the city now... I don't know when they'll be back. ”
Qiu Yue was standing on the side preparing incense powder, and when she heard the words, she sighed twice, and said with a smile: "Qingyue still cares so much about Bai Gongzi, alas, I don't know if there is a good Qingyue in the eyes of that fairy-like person~"
The two maids fought together again, and Qiaozhi sat between them, sighing half-helplessly and half-dotingly.
Last night, the Bai family suddenly sent someone to send a secret letter to Yuelai Restaurant, and it was not clear what was written in the letter, but it was only known that after reading the letter, Bai Jian's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and after a while, he went back to the room to pack up and salute, saying that he wanted to go back.
It was the middle of the night, and Qiao Zhi persuaded Bai Jian for a long time, and he barely calmed down and promised to wait until dawn before leaving, but when Qiao Zhi asked about the general content of the letter, Bai Jian still closed her mouth and refused to make a sound, until Qiao Zhi couldn't stand the embarrassing atmosphere and was about to go back to the room, Bai Jian said softly, telling her not to worry, something that had nothing to do with her.
The question is... Pretty Eda never thought the contents of this letter had anything to do with her... Bai Jian emphasized this, but it seemed that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, so that she had to start to be curious about the mysterious letter, but Bai Jian set off to return to Bai's house early in the morning, and the letter must have been left with him by him.
Qingyue and Qiuyue had enough trouble, so they helped Qiaozhi rub the last incense powder, and ran out to bring her today's breakfast.
After eating, Pretty wiped her mouth and went back to her old place, nestled at the counter, and began the new day's accounting.
Life is not easy, and she is forced to become an accountant by force, an eighteenth-tier actor who did not graduate from high school, if she can go back one day, I am afraid that she can go to work directly without a license, oh, I almost forgot, Li Wangsheng said that she should not be able to go back.
The mind drifted far away by accident, and the pretty branch shook her head, clenched the brush, and re-engaged in the boring accounting.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was slanting, and in the days when Bai Jian was not gagging with her, time always passed so fast, as if she was pressed to fast forward, and it seemed that the boring monotony of day by day was folded by her. Bai Jian has been gone for four days, and not even a letter to report safety has been sent back, and Zhao Yu, who went to the palace test, has also evaporated from the world, disappearing in the vast sea of people.
Closing the ledger in his hand, Qiaozhi took a sip of warm tea, thinking of Zhao Yu and Bai Jianlai, who were far away in a foreign land, for no reason, and wondered what the two of them were doing now.
At the other end, Bai Jian and Zhao Yu, who were missed by Qiaozhi, got together and ran on the path of Jinhai.
After taking the herbal tea, Zhao Yu thanked Xiu Zhu, and then drank it in a big gulp, and the slightly cool tea slid down his mouth and into his throat, ironing his heat all afternoon.
After drinking to the bottom in one go, Zhao Yu gasped and returned the cup to Xiuzhu, and asked Bai Jian, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, curiously: "How did Bai Daxia know that I would be here?" ”
Bai Jianwu closed his eyes and didn't answer, but the bamboo cultivator who had put away the cup explained the reason for this for his master.
It turned out that the letter that Bai Jian received that day was indeed related to the Bai family's Yu Mansion, and it involved a secret incident a few years ago.
Feitianlou, a third-party intelligence organization known for making money, sent a letter to Yu Bai's family a few days ago, and even did not receive a penny.
As soon as the mother of the Yu family read the content of the letter, she sent someone to invite the head of the Bai family, and when the two met, they found that the letter was available to both families, but there were slight differences in the content.
Both letters mention the sect that was destroyed overnight, the Xizhao Gate. Originally, the official explanation that these people in the rivers and lakes had mastered, or agreed with, was that 'the disciples of the big faction at the martial arts conference were jealous of a few talented and good seedlings in the Xizhao Gate, so they killed the killer, and because they were afraid of being severely reprimanded by the master of the Xizhao Gate, Xizhao... All the killers except for the sunset, in an instant, the legendary sunset door no longer exists, leaving only a few big characters of the bloodstained sunset door. ’。
This explanation... It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, anyway, Bai Jian and their juniors don't believe a word. The disciples of the big faction who were pushed out to block the wall, speaking of which, only occupy the name of a disciple, it is said that it is the existence of the sect to eat and wait for death, although the martial arts are not bad, but it is definitely not to the point of 'killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles', after all, martial arts are good at hard work, and these disciples rely on their good martial arts to escape their daily practice every day.. No matter how good martial arts are, they have been abandoned.
Such a few people, Bai Jian didn't believe that they could kill people invisibly, those good seedlings were killed without even having a chance to resist, and even killed the owner of the door, Xizhao, and slaughtered the sunset... You must know that the reason why Xizhaomen is known for its rapid rise as a small sect is that in addition to her owner being a woman, eating fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, but also because of Xizhao's original martial arts - almost melting the strengths of a hundred schools, abandoning the shortcomings of thousands of families, and forming their own unique moves.
It's just that the alliance leader at that time closed the case in a hurry for some reason, even if Bai Jian and he knew that there were a lot of doubts about the Xizhaomen matter, and then the entire martial arts experienced several large and small turbulences, the old alliance leader took the initiative to abdicate, and did not let Xian but make the position of the alliance leader vacant, and the entire martial arts also evolved from the original three factions to ten factions. In the case of equal strength, none of the heads of these sects dared to sit on the position of alliance leader easily.
It has been almost three years since the incident of Xizhaomen, and it has long been forgotten into the dust, if it weren't for the fact that these juniors who have been taken care of by Xizhao have always insisted on a truth, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes have long forgotten the once glorious Xizhao.
At that time, he was able to accompany Qiaozhi to Yanling because he was entrusted by Yu's mother and his father to go to Yanling to investigate the truth about the destruction of Xizhaomen, but he checked for a long time and did not find out the real and useful news, and when he was about to go to the next station, something happened to Jin'er, so that he had to stop and continue to help Qiaozhi, and finally solved Jin'er's matter, Qiaozhi vowed to open a restaurant, and when the restaurant was opened, he also waited for a letter from his family, warning him not to be in a hurry, just focus on the present.
He lived in the restaurant with peace of mind, and from time to time he was angry, occasionally settling accounts for her and mentioning a few words, but it seemed to help...
Just when Bai Jian thought that this year would go on like this, the family suddenly sent someone to send him a letter.
In fact, there was only a blank piece of paper in the envelope, but the person who sent the letter had a lot of background, although he looked no different from ordinary people, but he had a folding fan hanging from his waist, and the tail of the fan was decorated with a tassel and a small iron sword, which could not be found without looking carefully.
That iron sword is a token of the Bai family, and the people who have this iron sword are all hidden piles that the Bai family has secretly buried over the years, except for the disciples in the Bai family and the mother of the Yu family who know what this sword means, no one else knows.
And the appearance of this sword and the dark stake at the same time, coupled with the white paper contained in the envelope... It only means one possibility - something big happens at home, return quickly!
