(18) Farewell under the moon

After Xu Qiangning dealt with the matter, he returned the seal of the Qiang King to the Qiang King, and then he learned the news that Luo Xiaoxi had left the Qiang Palace, and without saying a word, he turned around and went out to find a horse, inquiring all the way, and chased all the way to the direction where Luo Xiaoxi's carriage left.

Finally saw a carriage outside the Qiang King City, and Xu Qiangning shouted loudly behind him: "Luo Xiaoxi, you stop for this king." ”

Luo Xiaoxi on the carriage sighed, but Furong said "stop" to the guards driving outside, and then looked at Luo Xiaoxi and said: "Xiaoxi, what should come will come after all, you can't avoid it." ”

Luo Xiaoxi got out of the carriage and walked a few steps towards Xu Qiangning, but the other party rushed all the way, hugged her, and said while panting: "Xiaoxi, my father used his knowledge to provoke you to leave." You can rest assured that this king will never marry her, besides, the person she likes is my brother, and she will definitely not want to. The only princess Qiang in the king's heart is Xiaoxi, I don't know if Xiaoxi is willing to stay for this king. ”

Did King Qiang tell Xu Qiangning like this, too, the days of being jealous and being imprisoned were indeed not what she Luo Xiaoxi wanted, but King Qiang found a good excuse for her to leave. If these words had been said before, she would have laughed happily, but now that she listens, she is indeed a little colder.

Her hand rubbed her sleeve, and she pushed him away with a frown, and then instantly turned into her usual hippie smile, and said, "I...... I'm just the prince's medicine for heart disease, and I promised to go to Qiang Wangcheng to take what I need. The prince is like this, but it makes me, a small citizen in the market, want to make a lot of money. ”

Xu Qiangning turned to think that Luo Xiaoxi must have thought that he was just to keep her for treatment this time, so he used Princess Qiang's excuse to keep her, and he rushed to pick her up non-stop, wasn't his intention obvious enough? He raised his eyes, then looked at her affectionately, and said very seriously: "Xiaoxi, this king is pleased with you. I even secretly thanked God for making you a medicine to cure my heart disease, I, Xu Qiangning, are willing to be restrained by you for the rest of my life, are you willing to continue to stay and accompany this king for treatment?"

Luo Xiaoxi took a deep breath, held back the feelings in his heart with his sleeves, raised the corners of his mouth with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the prince of Qiang is very affectionate, but the king of Qiang has already rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and I don't want to continue to deceive you with my conscience." I, Luo Xiaoxi, am just a small person in the market, and I am used to living a leisurely life, although you can disobey the will of the King of Qiang and resist the marriage of Princess Zhiyi, and then insist on spoiling me alone despite the spitting of the whole Qiang country, I Luo Xiaoxi still does not want to marry the prince of Qiang. ”

"Why"

He was a little anxious, he originally thought that her heart for him should be the same as his, and then he would be together for a long time with one person and one heart for a long time. But now it seems that he is amorous?

"Because what I Luo Xiaoxi likes has never been the prince, and I hope that the prince will not stop me from squandering the gold and silver treasures I have been rewarded."

Luo Xiaoxi said with a relaxed face, but after turning around, tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of her eyes, all she wanted to marry was him, but he was still the prince of the Qiang Kingdom after all, and she couldn't afford to fight against that high position. Some cold moonlight shone on her face, which looked particularly cold. Xu Qiangning, who was behind him, laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, and then called out to her: "Luo Xiaoxi, this king only asks you one sentence today, have you ever liked this king for a moment?" ”

Hearing this, her nose was already sour, but the tears on her face still raised the corners of her disdainful mouth, and she said "not for a moment" and walked forward.

Xu Qiangning recited her sentence "not for a moment", then got on the horse angrily and left to Qiang Wangcheng with a lonely face. She actually regarded him as a treasure trove for looting money, and did not even worry about his heart disease at all, so she rejected him so resolutely, it seems that he did not think about it all.

The moonlight was bleak and cold, as clear as ice. Luo Xiaoxi, who was behind, listened to the sound of the horse's hooves and walked away, and finally couldn't help but squat down and cry, a round of white moonlight shone on her body, adding a touch of sadness compared with the warm lanterns hanging in the carriage.

The next day, the backyard of the half-house tavern in Ruoqiang City stopped in the unusually dressed carriage, and the weeds, carp, and stones carried the money from the carriage to an above-ground warehouse, but other than that, the backyard was silent.

Outside the door of the Tianzi wing, Furong took the turquoise shakuhachi that was only the length of a finger from the half-cultivator's hand, and left with the carriage. Banxiu looked at Luo Xiaoxi, who was in a coma in pain on the couch, folded his hands and recited the sentence "Ani Buddha Buddha", then removed the taboo circle surrounded by magic in the house, and walked towards the broken temple in a sway. He shrank under the long table under the statue of the Buddha, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Luo Xiaoxi, who was sweating profusely in the Tianzi room in the backyard of the half-living tavern, looked at this extremely familiar guest room with a frown, after all, she still couldn't let go. It's a pity that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, it's just a helplessness that can't help himself, perhaps, he only admires her for a while, and he will still get tired of her after a long time, and the king of Qiang forced her to leave him, but it wasn't all bad.

From time to time, it was dusk, and Shi ran to Luo Xiaoxi with a happy face and said: "Sister Xiaoxi, a number of dignitaries and dignitaries from Ruoqiang City came to our half-house tavern to eat, and they gave us a lot of silver money when they ordered the dishes, and I and the water and grass They also knew that it was useless, but they had to stuff us with money, and said that they inherited your kindness, Sister Xiaoxi, what kindness......

It seems that it is time for her to leave, lying down for more than an hour, Luo Xiaoxi, who finally has some strength to get up, stretched out his hand and touched the head of the stone, and said with a smile: "Stone, you are a man, sister, I will hand over the half-house tavern to you, I believe you will be able to take care of it in good order, and I believe that our stone will also be well protected." ”

Since he was a child, Shi helped Luo Xiaoxi take the stolen valuables to other places as money, and if there was news in Qiang City that the thief Xi had stolen the seal of the Qiang King, these officials did not arrest the thief Xi but sat safely in their half-living tavern, then there was only one possibility, Sister Xiaoxi must have been used by the Qiang King, otherwise how could she reward so much money and order the officials to send money here.

His sister Xiaoxi must have suffered like this, but he still shed tears in anger, turned around and said, "Sister Xiaoxi, what a ...... Bring more coils. ”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at the thin figure of the stone, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, her stone really got her true inheritance, but she had already guessed the ins and outs in just a few words.

The setting sun illuminated the Ruoqiang City red, and Luo Xiaoxi carried the silver ticket specially exchanged for the stone, left the small box of jewels in the Tianzi room, and left through the small door of the backyard without the aquatic plants and carp.

She was dressed in men's clothes, leaning weakly in the carriage and lifting the curtain to look at the scene of Ruoqiang City, she had complained about this city many times, but when she left, she was so reluctant to give up, this may be that she is in it, but only sees its bad and does not see its good.

"Childe, we have left the gate of Ruoqiang City, are we going to the Central Plains or ......?"

Luo Xiaoxi lifted the curtain and looked at the road in front of him, as if he saw himself riding a horse in men's clothes galloping on a boundless grassland, how wanton he was. It's a pity that she can't be so arbitrary anymore.

As early as when Banxiu saw her, he guessed her intention, and the ragged monk in the broken temple who had just rolled out of the case said when she just stepped into the threshold: "If you forcibly take it out, I am afraid that it will be more delicate than ordinary mortals, and the donor should really give up his own light work?" ”

"Banxiu, now that you've guessed, stop nagging."

Today, she is like a septuagenarian, but she is decrepit before she gets old. Luo Xiaoxi put down the curtain in his hand, sighed, and said, "Then let's go to the Central Plains."

Who knows, not long after they came out of Ruoqiang, they were surrounded by a group of soldiers, just when Luo Xiaoxi thought that King Qiang was going to kill her, these soldiers escorted her out of the carriage, and a woman in pink came out from behind, looking at Luo Xiaoxi with a smug face.

"Xiao Yu? Why are you here? ”

"Tie her up, we can take her to blackmail Xu Qiangning."

"Threatened? I'm not ...... now."

Before Luo Xiaoxi finished speaking, Xiao Yu gagged her mouth with a handkerchief in her hand and tied her to a military camp holding the flag of the Central Plains.

"General Zhu Yi, she is not only the woman Xu Qiangning cares about the most, but also his medicine to cure heart disease. With her, she is not afraid that Xu Qiangning will not be obedient. ”

So, did this Xiao Yu unite the Central Plains people to fight against King Qiang, so as to kill their family to take revenge? But since the emperor of the Central Plains can leave his knowledge in the Qiang country, it means that the relationship between the two countries is not shallow, and this Xiao Yu must have used some tricks to be able to stay in this military camp.

So, Luo Xiaoxi had an expression that she had something to say, and with the only strength she had, she shook her tied body, and sure enough, this General Zhu Yi ordered someone to take away the handkerchief that was stuffed in her mouth.

"Ah...... Hmph, I said Miss Xiaoyu, I know that you hate Xu Qiangning and their family, and that day, you came to say hello to me with Princess Zhiyi. ”

She knew that this Xiao Yu would definitely be afraid that she would ask a star about Princess Zhiyi, and sure enough, she really couldn't help but bypass her topic, and said angrily: "General Zhu Yi, this woman is from the market, and she is scheming, not only by virtue of her cleverness to win the trust of Xu Qiangning, but also the thief in Ruoqiang City, and her tricks are even more unguardable, and I hope that the general will not take it lightly." ”

"Don't worry, since she can be caught by you today, it seems that she is not more capable than Er'er."

"The general really has good eyesight, in that case, I might as well tell the truth, in fact, I am just a chess piece in the hands of Prince Qiang, and he spent a lot of money to let me play by his side, just to catch Xu Qiang. Pity me, not only because of this, but also because of this, I will be killed by the end of the world...... I have lost all my martial arts, and now I can't even ride a horse, let alone run away. ”

Luo Xiaoxi didn't have to pretend to have a sad look, how heartbreaking she was when the shakuhachi was taken out, the pain of slashing flesh was not something anyone could bear.

"In that case, let's find a military doctor to come and check it out."

Xiao Yu saw that Luo Xiaoxi was so cooperative, and when the military doctor confirmed her condition, she also looked calm, but fortunately, Zhu Yi still trusted her and handed Luo Xiaoxi over to her to take care of herself.

Xiao Yu saw that there was no one around, so he looked at Luo Xiaoxi and said: "What you said turned out to be true, and you didn't say anything about being kidnapped by Xu Qiangluo so familiarly." Luo Xiaoxi, you are really a mystery. ”

"Each other, isn't Miss Xiaoyu also colluding with the people of the Central Plains to avenge herself. I'm just an abandoned son of Xu Qiangning, so why risk my own life, it's just that I'm very curious about how Prince Rong, as the culprit who kidnapped the princess, escaped from Qiang King City overnight, how he persuaded the grumpy princess to be willing to send troops to fight against Xu Qiangning with him. ”

"Luo Xiaoxi, don't you know that smart people are easy to live short?"

"Hmph, I'm going to be sent as bait left and right, die...... It's just the last few days, but I should know how I ended up in the hands of a foolish man like you. ”

Why did Xu Qiangning send someone to search Xiao Yu for so long, there would be no clues, and only Xu Qiangning beside Zhiyi would not send someone to search, if she guessed correctly, Xiao Yu must have taken advantage of Zhiyi.
