Chapter 18: Exploring the Villa at Night and Marveling at the Moon Shadow Sword
The original king chased out of the palace, and the personal guards of the king of Rui also followed, and the original king pulled a person, turned over on the horse, and the group chased after the king like ink.
And when he came to the gate of the city, he saw Lerma the king of Rui in front of him. The city gate was closed at the beginning of the hour, and it was already the time of the day, and the soldiers did not open the city gate, and the king of Rui was irritated to circle in place.
The original king hurriedly urged the horse forward, and the soldiers guarding the city gate knew the original king, and hurriedly nodded and came up. The original king held a horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "Blind killer! His Royal Highness King Rui wants to go out of the city gate, but he dares to stop it! ”
The soldier was startled. Wise King? That's a mighty general guarding the border! After saluting, he turned around and called for the city gate to be opened, and King Rui glanced at the original king, turned his horse's head and galloped out of the city. The original king was worried that he was not familiar with the road, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to follow on horseback.
King Yuan caught up with King Rui and asked, "Where is the second brother going?" ”
King Rui frowned, half speechless. The original king didn't dare to ask again, and only followed from a distance of a horse, and the guards behind him were silent not far or close.
"Does the third brother know that there is a Zhuangzi in this suburb, called Fengming Villa?"
Yuan Wang Qi said: "Fengming Villa? The younger brother has not returned for ten years, but he is not familiar with it. Wait for me to ask. ”
King Rui nodded slightly, and Lerma stopped.
The original king called the gatekeeper and asked, "What is your name?" But the locals? ”
The soldier replied, "Back to Your Highness." The small one is called Qi Si, and he is from Qijia Town. ”
King Rui asked in a low voice: "Since you are a local, do you know where this Fengming Villa is outside the city?" ”
Qi Si hurriedly said: "Coincidentally, the little uncle is the tenant of Fengming Villa." It's less than twenty miles away. ”
Rui Wang said: "Lead the way!" ”
Qi Si hurriedly rode forward and led the way.
The original king wondered, the second brother has only been here for a day, how can he know what Zhuangzi is? Or was there a relationship before? There was a relationship before, why don't you know where it is?
King Rui only felt that his heart was extremely bored, as if the sound of heaven in the daytime could soothe his anxiety. He didn't know what to do when he found Fengming Villa, did he rashly ask to see him?
Qi Sitou ran forward for a while, Le Ma came back, pointed in front and said, "The Zhuangzi with fire is Fengming Villa." Why don't you go to the little uncle first? ”
King Rui looked up, and under the moonlight, a flash of fire rushed into the air, and there was a faint sound of singing.
Seeing that King Rui seemed to be pondering again, the Yuan King had no choice but to speak: "So, I'll wait here, and you can report it!" ”
Qi Si was about to step forward, but King Rui stretched out his hand to stop him and took the lead in galloping towards the villa.
Approaching Zhuangzi, the singing became clearer and clearer. King Rui listened intently, and his heart was amazed and victorious.
The singing voice is clearly a military song of the Women's Army. In the past, he heard Xi'er sing more than once, and even today's saints praise this song very much: "Heroic and heroic, quite passionate!" ”
After ten years, I didn't want to hear it again, King Rui's heart was surging, and he was stunned.
The original king also heard the song clearly. Although he was still young at that time, the melody will not be forgotten. He leaned forward and asked in surprise: "Second brother, this ......"
King Rui reached out and made a gesture of silence.
King Rui dismounted, walked forward, and suddenly jumped onto the wall, and his personal guard Qi Zhengtian also hurriedly jumped up.
Yuan Wang looked at the second brother's vigorous skills with envy, and could only imagine the situation inside the wall through the wall.
King Rui saw a slender but not weak shadow in the field swaying and tumbling in the open space surrounded by everyone, and the white sword light in his hand was even more scorching than a bonfire. The sword qi flickered and lengthened, causing the bonfire to flicker and flicker.
Ten years have suddenly receded, and there is no other scene in the eyes of King Rui. The figure in front of him coincided with the fiery red shadow ten years ago, and King Rui exclaimed: "Xi'er! ”
A white light suddenly rose from the ground and rushed straight towards the Rui King who was standing at the head of the wall. Qi Zhengtian swung his sword to block it, and when it sounded, he was shocked and numb, and the sword flew out of his hand and stuck it into a tree trunk. Qi Zhengtian was shocked: "What a strong sword qi!" ”
But he saw that King Rui fell down the wall, and staggered when he landed before he stood firm.
Yan Chen put away his sword and exhaled, staring at it. On the pale face of King Rui in the moonlight, a pair of eyes burned with a scorching light, staring at Yan Chen without blinking.
Yan Chen froze and asked hesitantly, "His Royal Highness King Rui?" ”
King Rui took a few steps forward and asked in an astringent voice, "Dare to ask why the girl made this Moon Shadow Sword Technique?" ”
Yan Chen took a breath, was shocked, and said lightly: "It's just a coincidence." Dare to ask Rui Wang to visit at night, what advice do you have? ”
King Rui said eagerly: "This set of Moon Shadow Sword Technique was created by the master invited by my father back then, and it was only taught to Xi'er alone. After the master passed away in my Qi family, I don't know where the girl got it? ”
The crowd had ceased to sing and gathered around them. Heng Niang sighed deeply and asked everyone to exit the venue and enter the house separately.
Qi Zhengtian looked at the two worriedly, refused to retreat, was grabbed by Heng Niang, thrown out of the wall, and then jumped on the wall, staring at everyone outside the wall.
Outside the wall, the exclamation of the original king was heard.
Only the bonfire crackled in the empty field, and King Rui stared at Yan Chen with red eyes. Yan Chen gritted his teeth, turned around and led King Rui to sit down by the bonfire, grabbed two bowls and poured wine, handed one to King Rui, touched him, raised his head and drank it. King Rui didn't drink, just stared at Yan Chen silently.
Yan Chen smiled bitterly, raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and asked, "King Rui must ask the truth, but why?" ”
Rui Wang said: "It's just because this set of swordsmanship was what my sister was best at back then, but she ...... ten years ago" His voice trembled, and he couldn't continue.
Yan Chen heard King Rui and "I" call themselves, obviously confused.
Yan Chen took a wooden stick, lowered his head and knocked it slowly on the ground. After a long time, she raised her head and looked directly at King Rui and said: "The people heard that after the destruction of General Qi Xi and the women's army, there were still a very few soldiers who were saved by King Rui, are you okay now?" ”
King Rui said astringently: "Back then, the king came late to help, and although the Peng thief died, there was almost no life on both sides. In the pile of corpses, the king ordered someone to save a small number of old members of the women's army who were still breathing, but most of them were disabled. The king took them and their families to Tongguan so that they would not have nothing to support. Now, they have settled down, and some have given birth to children. But during the war, there were still hundreds of people in the Women's Army who were on other missions in various places, but they were never heard from again. ”
Yan Chen turned his gaze to the bonfire, and said after a long pause: "I heard that the current saint once said that whoever attacked Xijing first back then would be crowned the prince." The fame is moving, does His Highness also ......"
King Rui mourned in his heart, interrupting Yan Chen's words and said, "How can this king be a power-hungry person!" The position of the crown prince has never been seen by this king. ”
Yan Chen sighed: "King Rui's words are serious! The world is eager to make achievements, and there is nothing to do. It's up to you to make a trade-off! ”
Yan Wang Zhengse said: "The girl's words are good, but this Wang Zhi is not here." At that time, Qi Zihao's herald fainted inexplicably when delivering the message, and the king learned that General Qi Xi's distress had been delayed for four days, so the rescue was late. After speaking, he suddenly realized something, and asked, "Could it be that the girl really has an old relationship with General Qi Xi?" She, is she still alive? ”
He stood up suddenly, grabbed Yan Chen's shoulders tightly with both hands, lifted her up, his eyes shot a hot light, and asked sharply, "Where is she?" Why hasn't I heard from you all these years? She, does she blame me? ”
Yan Chen's shoulders shrank from the heat of his palm, and the tall figure of King Rui covered the firelight, and Yan Chen felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
What King Rui did after the war, Yan Chen knew a lot. knew that he didn't come back in time because of Hao, and turned against Zihao; knew that in order to avenge the women's army, he went to Tongguan and fought with the Shanrong tribe endlessly; Knowing that he tried his best to take care of the old department of the Women's Army......
Yan Chen's eyes were wet.
It is true that there are people in the world who have a great name and few feelings, and there are also righteous people who value their love.
