Chapter 5 2 It's Not Your Fault (The Second Male Appears)
"At this moment, for the first time, I hope that you are just a mortal"
--------- spoiler dividing line---------
Chenxing digested it alone for a long time before accepting the fact that His Royal Highness had recognized a righteous brother in the mortal world, no, a righteous sister.
It is already remarkable that His Royal Highness Bai Yi can say a few more words to mortals, and he is accompanying this little young man today...... The girl said a lot of things, and Tai half of them were all boring words, which shocked Chenxing.
She wondered, is it because this little girl is good-looking? But in Chenxing's impression for ten thousand years, His Royal Highness Bai Yi is not such a superficial person.
In the past, when he was in the Heavenly Realm, His Royal Highness Bai Yi had a dancing girl named Pei Yi who liked him, who was a little more beautiful than Yan Wan, the sweetheart of Her Royal Highness, and I didn't see His Royal Highness so attentive to Pei Yi.
That's right, Yan Wan! Maybe it's because this little girl is very similar to Yan Wan?
Chenxing was rarely distracted again. When she was distracted, the two of them had used a meal almost as much, and they had occasionally talked before, but Chenxing didn't hear it clearly, and suddenly heard Her Royal Highness say lightly: "I'm idle all day tomorrow." ”
Chenxing frowned, and denied in his heart: "Your Highness, you will not be idle tomorrow, there is a table of documents in the study for you to dispose of, Jinyu, a national teacher who is not a permanent member, also handed over a post for some reason and said that he would come to see him later, Princess Lin'er also said that there are a few paintings that will be presented to you tomorrow...... Although she didn't hear what the two of them said before, she felt that she understood the intention of His Royal Highness Bai Yi to say this.
Wan You also understood the intention of His Royal Highness Bai Yi, she blinked her eyes, thinking that Brother Mu Yao should mean that he would be idle all day tomorrow, so she needed to accompany him all day to finish. There's nothing wrong with this, after all, this meal was invited by Brother Mu Yao, and she still eats very happily, and she always has to be grateful to be a person.
But the only problem is that she only has ten taels of silver on her, and what good pastime can she find for the cost of ten taels of silver?
She thought for a moment and proposed:
"Then we're going to listen to the book tomorrow?"
Bai Yi drank the soup slowly and did not express an opinion.
"Watching a play?"
Bai Yi still did not express an opinion.
"Archery?" "Keju?"
She even came up with: "Kite flying? ”
Bai Yi put down the bowl and looked at her as if he was retarded. Wanyou scratched his head, scratched the wound, and hummed softly:
"Since you don't like any of this," she thought for a moment, "then I'll take you to a new place." She bent her eyes while reminiscing: "Although Brother Mu Yao is very picky, but in that place, you don't think you can find anything picky, you will definitely like it very much!" ”
Jiangdong Restaurant had dinner, and the two made an appointment to meet in front of the building tomorrow morning, and they went back to their homes.
In the early morning of the second day, Bai Yi was waiting in the carriage early in the morning, and it was late for her to wear men's clothes in the evening, so she asked Bai Yi to sit in the carriage and not move, and walked into the pharmacy next to her.
Wan You originally wanted to get a medicinal herb, but she saw the crowd on the street scattering and fleeing, she didn't know what was happening, so she leaned forward to look, and then saw a rouge stall and a jewelry stall that she had just passed were knocked down one after another.
Oh, she knows what's going on. The security in the city is good most of the time, but there are many children at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and everyone who has been fighting cockfights and dogs for ten and a half months has to fight because of things like cockfighting, lackeys and snatching girls.
The sound of the sword crashing came into the ears of the night, and she thought, it is really powerful, they are still doing a lot of work today, and they all use knives. As a result, when the crowd scattered and fled naked out of the fighting arena, she saw that the battle in front of her was not trivial: in the middle of the street dozens of steps away, a team of masked men was attacking a young man in black with a knife, and the young man was accompanied by a woman in white who could not fight.
There are seven or eight masked people, and they are ruthless in every move, and they are all more than taking their lives. Fortunately, the young man in black was highly skilled, and while protecting the veiled woman beside him, he was able to defeat seven or eight people, and he still had the upper hand. The young man's figure and sword moves have become extremely fast, and Wan Yu can't see the young man's appearance clearly, and she doesn't have the heart to look at this excitement.
Although the little late boy who rode a horse and archery came to everything, she didn't know martial arts. As soon as she understood that this was a scene of assassination on the street, she immediately turned around and got into the medicine shop, and took a place next to the young man and hid honestly. Half of the pedestrians on the long street were quickly cleared, and the other half were still running away screaming.
In the crowd, an old woman was pushed and pushed and fell in front of the medicine shop. The streets are so chaotic that if two young and strong men accidentally step on their feet, the old woman's life will be at rest. In fact, Wan You was also a little scared, but she couldn't bear it when she looked at the old woman, and ran out with a cat's waist after exhaling. As a result, as soon as he helped the old woman up and was about to half-mop the ground into the pharmacy, he saw a big knife flying towards him.
Wan Yu was stunned. The moment his gaze swept over the evening darkness, Jiang Qingjing was stunned, and then saw the knife that was heading towards her, and the sword in his hand had been chased after before the word "dodge" came out, and the person also chased after the sword.
Originally, the seven black-clothed men had been repaired by Jiang Qingjing, three were killed and four were seriously injured, and the one who could fight the most took his last breath in front of the servant ground, nailing his weapon to Chang Zimei, who was hiding beside him. When he turned back and shook the knife away, he didn't realize that there was a man standing on the side of the big horn where it had flown past.
There stood the evening secluded. Jiang Qingjing knew the ghost of the night. She was almost the most clever of all the girls he had ever known, but in such a dangerous situation, she stood motionless as she watched the long knife fly past. No matter how fast the sword chased after him couldn't catch up with the long knife that was one step ahead, Jiang Qingjing felt cold.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was only two or three feet away from the evening, a long arrow suddenly flew out of the oblique stab. Although the long arrow is pitch black, the material used to make the arrow is not ordinary. Just as the tip of the knife was about two feet away from the evening shadow, the long arrow struck the blade with an unmistakable sound, indicating that the long arrow was made of metal.
The whole long knife was deflected. But even if the entire long arrow was made of dark iron, it should be a light thing that could not stop the power of the long knife. But it was such a light thing, but it gently and skillfully knocked a long knife that should have weighed twenty or thirty pounds and flew out diagonally. The knife entered the wooden wall of the pharmacy by three inches, showing the profundity of the archer's skill.
With such a great force, it stands to reason that the long knife could produce a reaction force after being hit by a long arrow, and it was impossible to push it back the way it came, but for some reason, after the long arrow collided with the long knife, it flew back along the way it came, and the destination seemed to be a luxury carriage parked on the opposite street. At that moment when the long arrow was near, a hand stretched out from behind the curtain of the carriage.
A fair-skinned and slender hand, peeking out from the bottom of the silver-white sleeve, has an indescribable elegance in the bright sunlight. It was a man's hand. The long black arrow was falling into the man's hand, and the hand carelessly stroked the handle of the arrow, and then took it back.
Under the scorching sun, when the long knife slashed at the face, Wanyou felt that she didn't think about anything at that moment. She didn't think about anything, but the scattered sword shadows in the Soul Locking Tower suddenly flashed back from her mind like ghosts, and a kind female voice whispered in her ears: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness, live." ”
As the female voice sounded, her eyes instantly blurred, and she was a little trance-like for a moment.
The old woman who was half-held by Wan You when the long knife came over did not see this shocking scene because her back was facing the fighting arena, and she didn't know what was happening when the knife pierced into the wooden wall of the medicine shop, but she just patted her when she saw that Wan You didn't move. Thanks to the young man who grabbed the medicine in the shop, he immediately ran out and helped the old woman into the shop, and turned around to help Wanyou.
Wan You reacted in a daze at this time, but her eyes were still blurry, she looked left and right, and found that there was no one on the street, and only herself and the black-clothed young man who was about ten steps away were empty. The girl in white stood farther away. Her eyes were still blurry, and she could only make out the approximate human form, and she knew in her heart that these two should be a man and a woman who had just been besieged by the masked men.
She didn't understand what was going on, so she wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Jiang Qingjing took a step forward when he wiped his eyes in the evening, but he didn't come closer, and looked at her without saying a word at that distance.
Bai Yi lifted the curtain to see if Wan You was stunned, but Jiang Qingjing's gaze on Wan You's body and the step that involuntarily approached happened to fall into his eyes. He picked up the curtain and hung it on the black jade hook inside, and picked up a random book that he had just flipped through while waiting for the evening, but he didn't mean to flip through it, just rolled it in his hand.
He sat in the carriage and watched the two men, his gaze flat, the scroll in his right hand tapping on his knee one after the other. However, Jiang Qingjing's appearance, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
When she wiped her eyes in the evening, she felt that someone was looking at her, and when her eyes saw a little clearer, she raised her head, and was facing Shangjiang Qingjing's line of sight, she was stunned for a while, and then her face faded into blood in an instant.
Jiang Qingjing's hand holding the sword tightened, and he called her name and said, "Ah...... Ah Late. ”
Wan You said in a low voice: "Jiang Gong......" changed his words: "No, His Royal Highness Qingjing." She barely calmed down: "I didn't expect to meet Your Highness here, I heard that Jinjiang won a great victory in the First World War last month, and His Highness accompanied the master to the city to report on his work." ”
Jiang Qingjing said: "If you can break the Jinjiang River, you can ...... contribution."
Wan You didn't let him finish his words, looked at the masked man lying in a row not far away, and forcibly changed the topic of Jiang Qingjing: "This city has always been peaceful, but I don't know why Your Highness met such a madman today, Your Highness is afraid that he is frightened...... Ah, there is a palace envoy coming," she said, pursing her lips:
"Your Highness is still busy, I don't think I will delay ......"
Jiang Qingjing's gaze was almost fixed on her, and he interrupted her: "Why didn't you leave without making a noise at that time?" ”
Wan Yu didn't seem to expect him to ask this, lowered her head and was silent, and when she looked up again, she smiled on the corner of her lips. Her face was pale, but with such a pretended smile, she said in a low but clear voice: "No silence, I remember what should be left, I will leave it to His Highness." At this time, Jiang Qingjing pursed his lips.
Jiang Qingjing didn't speak, and Wanyou didn't know what to say. She looked quite calm on her face, but in fact, the whole person was confused, she didn't understand why she met His Royal Highness Qingjing here. She didn't really want to see anyone related to King Liangshan again.
But today, I saw two of them at first sight, one of His Royal Highness Qingjing, she glanced at the woman in white who was still standing at a distance, and His Royal Highness's wife.
Her head began to feel dizzy and painful. Her face turned pale, she pressed the corner of her forehead, she wanted to get out quickly, she looked left and right for a while, and saw that Jiang Qingjing still didn't speak, so she repeated in a low voice the farewell words that Fang had already said once:
"Your Highness still has something to do, and I still have some things to do, so I won't delay Your Highness."
She moved to the herb shop next to her, but she didn't really know what she was going to do. Her head was still dizzy and aching.
Jiang Qingjing said: "You don't want to ...... so much" A man's voice suddenly came from the carriage opposite:
"Where are you going, don't you know the way?"
Jiang Qingjing turned his head to look at the carriage, and then Wanyou remembered what he was doing in the medicine shop, and then realized that he had not perfunctory Jiang Qingjing. She was going to take Brother Mu Yao to a place she liked, a place she thought Brother Mu Yao would definitely like. She tilted her head and said to the man in the carriage:
"Wait, I remember that I left something at the pharmacy."
She turned around and entered the pharmacy, but as soon as she stepped into the door of the pharmacy, she forgot what she was here for, and then she was stunned, picked up the Tranquility Pill she had brought with her, looked at it twice, and swallowed it.
There were gradually more people on the street, and Wan You came out with the Tranquility Pill, and when she saw Jiang Qingjing talking to the patrol envoy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and shook to the carriage like a whirlwind. Although Jiang Qingjing's questions to the envoy were answered in a variety of ways, more than half of his attention was on the carriage that was half a street away.
He saw a gust of wind blowing in front of the carriage in the evening, and the male voice he had heard just now sounded again: "Running quite fast, but not weak legs?" The voice was cold, but not cold.
Wan Yu obediently replied to the male voice: "It's soft for a while, it's not soft when you call me in the carriage." ”
The man's voice stopped: "Frightened? ”
Wan You continued to reply obediently: "...... Nor did it. ”
The man's voice was faint: "Tell the truth." ”
Wan Yu was stunned: "...... Freak out. ”
The man seemed to smile: "You are stupid, your opinion is quite big, and you don't dodge or avoid danger when it comes, what are you thinking?" ”
Ai Ai in the late tryst period: "I didn't react, it's a time when people can't react, Brother Mu Yao, you must have this kind of time, what to teach me a lesson." ”
The man said, "I haven't had that time. ”
Evening Yu looked surprised.
The man said, "Have you thought about what would happen to you if I wasn't here today?" ”
Wanyou paused for a moment and said softly, "...... Will hurt, will die. ”
Jiang Qingjing clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand.
The man said, "So what should I do in the future?" ”
This time, the night stopped for a long time, and when he spoke, his voice was very hoarse: "Later...... Since I can't protect myself, I ...... in the future It's best not to go shopping, right? ”
Jiang Qingjing's heart shrank suddenly. That's what he used to ask of her. He always told her to settle down, and since she couldn't protect herself, she didn't always put herself in danger and make trouble for others. It wasn't until long after she had left that he realized that these words were actually hurtful words.
The man laughed a little surprised: "Are you stupid?" ”
Wan You said softly: "If you can't protect yourself, you can't put yourself in danger, make trouble for others, and you can't make such a mistake." She seemed a little confused: "So I should probably reduce shopping in the future and not cause trouble for others, isn't that right?" “
The man interrupted her words, and seemed to teach Wan Yu very patiently: "That's not called trouble, it's called an accident, and accidents happen unpredictably and can't be avoided, so it's not your fault that all of this happens." “
Wan You was very surprised: "It's not my fault? ”
The man chuckled, "I hope you can learn to be more clever when you encounter danger in the future." Then he paused: "Seeing that you are not in a very good state today, you may not have fun if you want to accompany me out, so I might as well send you back first." ”
Wanyu nodded slightly.
Jiang Qingjing saw the man pull Wan You into the carriage, but he didn't see the man's appearance from beginning to end, nor did he see the expression on Wan You's face after the man said those words. His fingers gripping the hilt of the sword stiffened a little. The patrol envoy in front of him was still babbling something, Jiang Qingjing didn't notice it at all, and he suddenly remembered what Wan You had called him before.
She used to call him Brother Qingjing intimately. It seemed like a long time ago.
Jiang Qingjing stood in place for a long time.
