078 Darkness (1)

Xia Xiaoxiao realized that he had said the wrong thing, for people like them who have worked hard to practice martial arts all their lives, their mentality is indeed a little bad, and immediately changed the topic, "What, I'm just asking, in fact, I wanted to ask the first time I saw you, on a hot day in July, you wear a mask on your face and are not afraid of covering the prickly heat?" ”

Saying that, Xia Xiaoxiao reached over to take off the silver mask, her hand was just halfway there, and she avoided her side face, and the eyes under the mask made Xia Xiaoxiao uncomfortable through the cold stabbing of the night, she withdrew her hand and muttered, "If you don't look at it." ”

What kind of face is under that silver face Xia Xiaoxiao is actually not very curious, she is really worried about the prickly heat on his face, if he is ugly himself, then isn't it uglier if he has more prickly heat? If it's good-looking, wouldn't it ruin your face in vain? It's not cost-effective to think about it.

"If the girl has nothing else to do, she will go back to the room first." He got up and walked out of the pavilion, not giving Xia Xiaoxiao a chance to speak again.

"How can this person say that he will leave as soon as he goes, he is as fickle as Beigong Yu's house!" She originally wanted to have a glass of wine with him to see the moon, but now that the person is gone, she has no heart to drink the wine, she raised her head and put one hand on her forehead, looking at the sky, and her voice is a little lonely.

It's all people who just leave.

Beigong Yu left her here today, and when she goes back to the palace to do something, will she still think of her?

The night market in Beijing is bustling, and most of them are closed at this time and go home to sleep. The palace in the palace is still brightly lit, and it seems that no one sleeps, or does not dare to sleep.

There was a big incident in Chenxiao Palace today.

Concubine Xi, who had just been in the palace for a few months and had received all kinds of grace from His Royal Highness the Prince, had been unconscious because she had been poisoned and framed, and she had only fallen down in the morning, but not long after the night was dark, she heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had rushed back to the capital non-stop, and at this time she was staying by the bedside of Concubine Xi and guarding it inch by inch.

Chenxiao Palace is the territory of His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince doesn't fit his eyes, who of them dares to close his eyes? Several concubines who have been getting a little closer to Xia Yingxi recently have been guarding the door of the Xi Pavilion and not daring to go back to their respective residences, seeing that Beigong Yu has stayed inside and has not come out, they chatted again when they were bored, "It is said that a woman who is favored in the palace is not necessarily lucky, this is really right, there are more favored people, and there are more people with red eyes, and then there is one who can't hold his breath, and it is a matter of time before he is framed, Sister Xi has just entered the palace and is really too simple-minded, and everything is not careful, and in the end she suffers this sin." ”

Several other people said again and again, "Although it is taboo to poison people in the palace, it is not a new thing, not to mention that this is in Chenxiao Palace, there are many such things in other princes' mansions, some of them are deaf and dumb, and their heavy lives are also lost, but I hope that Sister Xi is fine, I just saw His Royal Highness the Prince's face when he went in, if the murderer is found, that person is afraid that he will suffer." ”

"Be quiet, what are you talking about? Be careful, and then make Your Highness unhappy and cut your tongues! Pingshun's father-in-law followed someone past in front of the group of women, and hurriedly brought people into the house with a shout.

Pingshun brought the person into the room and immediately retreated and closed the door, the person who came was dressed plainly, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and glanced at Beigong Yu, who was guarding the bed, and bowed, "Subordinate Lu Wuxian see His Highness." ”

"Excuse me." Beigong Yu nodded and urged him to start seeing a doctor.

Lu Wuxian glanced at Xia Yingxi, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and then glanced at Beigong Yudao, "Concubine Xi Niangniang is indeed poisoned, but fortunately, the amount is not much, the imperial doctor treated and prevented the invasion of the toxin in time, and his subordinates prescribed side medicine to eliminate the poison, at most tomorrow Niangniang will be able to wake up." ”

He came to the table and picked up a pen to write down the names of a few medicines and their respective amounts, called Pingshun to come in and take them to dispense medicine to the people in the Tai Hospital, turned around and said to Beigong Yu: "It's getting late, Your Highness should go back and rest early." ”

Lu Wuxian endured the eyelids of a fight, but it was just a woman who had been poisoned, so Beigong Yu hurriedly called him over in the middle of the night with a flying pigeon message, can he commit it? Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'm good to slip away when you're gone, I didn't meet the pai gow eyes that I played with someone all night last night, and I can't hold on to find a bed to lie down at this time.

"People, you give this king a good look, what happened to this king, this king is asking you!" Lu Wuxian glanced at Beigong Yu, who dropped his words and shook his hand back to the palace, wanting to cry without tears, why did he honestly say that he was at home when Wuxi came to him? Knowing that Beigong Yu will not be good every time he comes to him!

Lu Wuxian looked at Xia Yingxi blankly, to be precise, at the bed under her, leaving him to take care of him, he is also a sleep-deprived patient now!

Following.

Shangshu Mansion only held a big happy event the day before, the joy up and down the house has not yet dissipated, the early morning is busy, only the backyard is the most quiet.

There is water flowing down the rockery in the center of the courtyard, dripping in the water, Xia Xiaoxiao sat behind the rockery, and then followed the small waterfall from the rockery with her hands, the water flowed into the palm and flowed out along the fingers, and the sleeves were wet after a while, and the little maid stepped forward to persuade her, she didn't care, she had a good time.

She is a distinguished guest in the house, and the little maids want to take care of her, but she doesn't like someone to keep chattering in her ear, so she sent them away in three or two times, and looked at the people opposite through the gap in the middle of the rockery.

Luo Zhi got up earlier than her, and when she woke up, she saw that he was already practicing his sword.

Xia Xiaoxiao has been sitting here for almost an hour, but he has not stopped for a moment, the sword intent is sometimes curved and tactful, soft as water, sometimes the sword is sharp, and the momentum is like a bamboo. Dressed in white, his silver face reflected a cold light, and a long sword squandered freely in his hand, elegant and deadly.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little stunned, and he didn't notice when he walked out of the rockery. With the sound of gurgling water, the birds also sang happily, the man swung his sword, the wind blew, and a few magnolia petals fell in the air, brushing her ears, he turned around, and the tip of the sword where the petals fell just against her neck. She didn't seem to notice anything, just quietly looked at the pair of eyes hidden under the silver face on the other side, indifferent, detached, and a little cold, but she looked a little familiar.

Draw the sword, the flower is broken.

The pure white cloud sleeve brushed Xia Xiaoxiao's cheek, and the broken petals fell at her feet. His sharp sword qi was still in the air, bringing gusts of light wind, and the sword was behind him, looking sideways at her.

"Enough girl?" Luo Zhi couldn't stand her daze eyes and reminded her.

Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to his senses, touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Where have we met before?" ”

"Didn't the girl say we met in the capital?" Luo Zhi walked to the stone table and sat down, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sword.

"No, no, I mean, did we meet before that?"

Xia Xiaoxiao kept staring at his face, thinking carefully about whether he had really seen such a person before, but he couldn't remember whether he had seen it or not.

"I haven't seen it." Luo Zhi held the sword in front of him and separated it from the two of them, flicked the sword body and made a crisp sound, and said lightly.

The sword was in front of him, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the long sword in front of him in surprise, and forgot the previous topic, "This sword of yours is from the Chaoyang Kingdom?" ”

"Can you recognize it?" Luo Zhi was a little surprised.

"Really?"

"Produced in the land of Chaoyang Country, the name Zhongli." Luo Zhi nodded. Xia Xiaoxiao didn't believe her eyes, she would never have thought that the sword that fell was actually from Chaoyang Kingdom.

Chaoyang country, the most proficient in the six countries to forge swords and bows, although the territory of the country is not large, but because of the annual war in various countries and become an extremely rich country, even Yue Hua's current technology of casting guided weapons can not catch up, and Chaoyang country is the most famous for the long sword cast by Jipan, because of that geological reason, the raw materials for casting swords are the best sword casting materials in the six countries, coupled with the technical reasons of local people, the weapons made are many rich and powerful people who spend money to buy can't buy.

And Beigong Yu's Chu Wen sword is a good sword built by Chaoyang Jipan.

The reason why Xia Xiaoxiao felt that this Zhongli sword was made in Chaoyang Kingdom was only because she had just seen that the sword of this sword had the same sword pattern as Beigong Yu's sword, so she guessed that this sword was from Chaoyang Kingdom.

"Have you been to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun?" Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze at him became more eager.

"Chaoyang State Changjie City, Wu State Xizhou Shu, Jin Kingdom Xuanlianhua, Yue Kingdom Qianlong Sha, Nanming Kingdom Gudu Wu, I am in the rivers and lakes, I have been there." Luo Zhi rubbed the sword body clearly, and the sword flashed on Xia Xiaoxiao's cheeks, she had not seen many swords, the most familiar was the sword of Beigong Yu and Wuxi, Beigong Yu's sword was also a good sword, but she hadn't touched it, the last time Beigong Yu pointed the sword at her, she was already frightened, how could she have the heart to observe what his sword looked like. Now that such a good sword was placed in front of Xia Xiaoxiao, and his unconscious hand reached over to touch it.

Luo Zhi put away the sword in time, Xia Xiaoxiao expected him to be so stingy, saying that he was not ready to snatch the sword scabbard a few steps away from him, revealing two tiger teeth and smiling: "How about Luo Daxia teach the little girl a few tricks?" ”

I thought he would be angry, but he just frowned, glanced at her and continued to wipe the sword body, "What's wrong with the girl living your comfortable life?" Why do you want to learn these moves? ”

"You know what? When I learn kung fu one day, how majestic and majestic I am, I can beat those who want to bully me all over the ground and call me aunt and grandma. She threw the scabbard back on the stone table with disdain, and glanced at her with a look of anger, and she continued to fantasize: "Or call me Xia Daxia, that is called spirit!" ”

Luo Zhi sneered, sighed and shook his head, he had never heard of practicing martial arts just to show off his spirit.

Xia Xiaoxiao knew what he was laughing at, ignored him, and drew circles on the stone table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something, with a faint smile on his face, "Actually, it's not all for the sake of spirit, in my life, what I want to live the most is the kind of life that heroes live, going south and north, although I am not very kind, but occasionally I want to be a good person who robs the rich and helps the poor, and that kind of life is fulfilling." ”

Thinking about it, she laughed stupidly, it was the biggest dream of her life.

"The rivers and lakes are very big, and it's not as simple as you think." Luo Zhi held her soiled scabbard in her hand again, and she could faintly see what she was painting on the stone table.

"I know, it's huge." Xia Xiaoxiao responded, his fingertips lightly swiping the tabletop, "It's bigger than the world in his heart." ”

"Him?" Luo Zhi paused, looking at the side face of her slightly bowed head.

The sun fell on her shoulders with the petals, and she suddenly looked up, her eyes hitting the falling one, but she didn't notice the strange thing that flashed in his eyes.

She grinned, and for the first time in her life, she told someone what she wanted, "But no matter how big it is, after I don't have all the baggage, I will go to travel all over the country, taste all the food in the world, and sleep until the sky is dark, and it is best to take my husband with strong martial arts. ”

Luo Zhi stopped the movement in his hand, looked at the face that was smirking at himself as if no one was around, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and got up with a sword, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can easily teach the girl two tricks to use for self-defense." ”

As soon as Xia Xiaoxiao heard the music, she ran over with her fart, and Luo Zhi put on a posture for her to follow, teaching just some simple moves, without internal skills, and indeed just teaching her to defend herself.

The two of them waved and moved, and Xia Xiaoxiao also turned, but the knot under his feet did not turn, and he was about to fall, but fortunately, the Luo Zhi on the side was fast, and one dodged to hug her and hold her crooked body. Xia Xiaoxiao hugged the man's arm in response, and a sense of security surged into her heart like a boulder.

There was no one else in the courtyard, even the maid who had served Xia Xiaoxiao before was also dismissed, the sky was clear, the noise of the birds gradually subsided, there was a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers in the wind, looking from afar, the plain-clothed woman was just held in the arms of the silver-faced man, her eyes were facing each other, the man's black green silk hung down to cover half of the woman's cheeks, and a beautiful and harmonious picture like a fantasy envied others.

After a moment, he didn't speak until he felt that something was wrong.

"Girl, you can get up." Luo Zhi wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Xia Xiaoxiao had been holding his hand, and when she raised her eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao's little face that had been staring at him with "affection" was a little distorted, and she smiled very ugly, "Hero, my waist flashed ......"
