Chapter 24: Reunion

Linghu Yuan chased for two days before the dark guard reported that Ruyi had gone in the direction of Yunmeng Valley. Ling Huyuan knew that Ruyi should be safe, but he wanted to see her before returning to defense, so he also quickly chased in the direction of Yunmeng Valley.

Ruyi has arrived in Yunmeng Town, and Wu Ming did not embarrass himself along the way, and Ruyi is still a little grateful to Wu Ming. "Thank you Wu Gongzi for sending An back. Just send it here. With that, Ruyi jumped out of the carriage.

"Don't be busy saying thank you yet, I haven't been here for many years, I wonder if Miss An can take me around." Wu Ming also got out of the carriage and had no intention of leaving.

Although it was just the beginning of summer, I was still sweating for a while in the sun. Ruyi wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, looked at Wu Ming who was looking left and right in front of him, and had no choice but to follow.

"Wu Gongzi, are you planning to stay for two days? The inn in front is good, why don't you go and rest first. Ruyi pointed to the inn where they stayed last time.

Wu Ming looked at Ruyi and smiled: "Since the girl is warmly invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Ruyi said, when did I invite you warmly. But it was hard to say anything on the face, so I had to arrange people in the inn.

In the evening, the sun is no longer scorching outside, and the sunset is still hanging in the western sky, but there is no real heat, and the evening breeze is gentle, and the slightest coolness is refreshing.

After an afternoon of rest, Wu Gongzi is now shopping with Ruyi full of energy. In fact, Yunmeng Town is quite small, and there are only two main streets, one with many shops, and one with the official yamen. Wu Gongzi was full of interest, and Ruyi had to follow silently.

In the afternoon, Ruyi had already sent a letter to the master, informing him of the current situation. The master only replied with four words, and entertained him well. Although Ruyi didn't want to have more contact with this Wu Gongzi, there was no way, and it was difficult to disobey the teacher's fate.

When it was time for dinner, the master still didn't abandon her, and sent Xiao Su Qin to support her. "Wu Gongzi, in Xia Su Qin, I have admired the name of my son for a long time, and the master ordered you to treat you well, and I hope that the son will not be too shabby." The little boy said something reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu Ming looked at Sun Qin with admiration, "Sure enough, the hero is a young man." Su Gongzi can't see anything else, you and I can be commensurate with each other. When his younger brother succeeds in his studies, he can go to find a place for his brother to settle down. Su Qin didn't see it, and called out like a stream, "Brother Wu." Wu Ming also replied politely: "Brother Su." "A confession meeting has just come to an end. Ruyi was about to suffocate internal injuries when he saw it on the side.

Finally it was Ruyi's turn to speak, but Ruyi asked, "I don't know when Wu Gongzi plans to leave." The conversation was very pleasant, and the two brothers who hated to see each other late were stunned after hearing this, Su Qin frowned and did not speak. Wu Ming looked at Ruyi with a smile, "I heard that General Linghu will arrive in a few days." When you're done, you'll leave. ”

Ruyi knew that although Wu Ming did not harm her, he was a spy of other countries after all, and he had stirred up trouble during the Weidu Rebellion before, although he did not succeed, but there were other conspiracies in Baobuqi. This person seems to be a scholar, but in fact he is a person with very deep and extraordinary methods. Master is not involved in politics, and it may be inconvenient to say anything because of personal relationships, but his complicated background is inevitable after all, and Wu Ming is a person who knows his past, so he has to guard against it.

Ruyi also learned yesterday that Linghu Yuan had been sending secret guards to protect herself, and yesterday Linghu sent a message to her, knowing that he would come. And Wu Mingde's news may be earlier, I have to say that this person is very dangerous, and it is better to stay away from him as much as possible.

Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Since the son is here for important things, not for fun, then he and his junior brother will go back to the mountain tomorrow to study, and they have already left a lot of homework, so it is not good to delay it any longer." ”

Wu Ming saw that Ruyi was righteous, high-sounding, and didn't say anything, just hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

Ruyi took Su Qin back to Yunmeng Valley early in the morning of the second day, and did not say goodbye to Wu Ming, because she knew that Wu Ming would definitely look for her. After Wu Ming knew that she didn't say goodbye, he didn't say anything but smiled.

When Ruyi went back, he told the master what had happened recently, but the master only muttered for a moment and did not say anything. If the master has no other instructions, he will go back to class.

At night, Ruyi was reading a book in the house, and Xia He was talking about what he had learned recently, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of cheerfulness. Ruyi is very happy about Xia He's change. At this moment, I heard two knocks on the door.

Xia He got up and went to open the door, looked left and right, and didn't find that someone was just about to close the door, and inadvertently glanced up, and saw a man in a dark robe standing under the tree in the courtyard. Xia He hurriedly turned around and called Ruyi excitedly, "Miss, general, general." Ruyi looked at Xia He with some confusion.

Xia He had to explain again, "The general is in the courtyard." ”

Ruyi knew that Linghu Yuan would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Ruyi hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the courtyard, and when she walked to the door of the room, she heard her inexplicable thunderous heartbeat pause, she didn't know how her heart was beating so fast, and she calmed down before slowly walking out of the door.

I saw Linghu Yuan standing in the moonlight in the courtyard, and the moonlight gilded him with a layer of silver light, like a god of war in the sky. Ling Huyuan also looked at this woman he had been thinking about for a long time, he didn't dare to get too close for fear that she would slip away like the wind, but he couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"Ruyi, are you okay?" The man's deep voice sounded suddenly, in a soft tone, which seemed to carry no emotion, but seemed to contain many emotions.

"I'm fine." Ruyi said with a heartfelt smile. The two stood in the distance through the long moonlight. But the moment they saw each other, their hearts were very stable. Some feelings have been planted at the first meeting, and time is the best nourishment.

"Let's go see your master." Ling Huyuan said. "Okay." Ruyi walked over as she spoke, and the two walked out of the yard together and walked to the backyard.

The two chatted about their experiences after the last separation as they walked, and the two chatted devotedly. Suddenly, a black shadow broke out of the air, and the sword blade came straight at Ruyi, and Ruyi found that it was too late to move, but Linghu Yuan seemed to have been prepared, the long sword was already out of the sheath, and his left hand dragged Ruyi into his arms. The long sword in his right hand had already blocked the fatal blow, causing Fox Yuan to push Ruyi a little farther away, and then fought with the black shadow.

The two fought fiercely, hit the key points with their moves, and narrowly avoided them, and the two still didn't win or lose after dozens of rounds. Ruyi looked a little anxious, but his face was not obvious, and he said coldly: "Wu Gongzi is really different, this is Wu Gongzi's way of inviting guests?" ”

The shadow paused visibly and sneered softly. The two didn't stop fighting, but they were obviously a little calmer than just now, and there was less murderous aura. After dozens of more rounds, the black shadow slowly spoke: "General Linghu really lives up to his reputation. ”

Ling Huyuan also replied leisurely: "The son of a thousand faces is not far behind." ”

The two stopped at the same time, jumped out of the fight circle together, looked at each other for a few meters for a moment, and the black shadow took off the masked black cloth and said, "I don't know if General Linghu can talk to Wu." ”

Ling Huyuan didn't speak, just turned around and glanced at Ruyi, the two tacitly understood each other's meaning, and Ruyi said, "I'll go to the master and wait for you." ”

Ruyi slowly walked into the master's bamboo building, "It's coming." Master said, as if he had already gained insight into what had just happened. Ruyi sat down slowly opposite the master.

The master looked at Ruyi, who was unhappy, smiled and shook his head before he spoke: "Back then, Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as a general, and Wu Qi reformed the military system and made many military exploits to conquer the Hexi region of Qin State. And has been stationed in Hexi, against the Qin State. Later, Wei Wuhou succeeded to the throne, and his uncle was appointed as the prime minister, and he was afraid of Wu Qi's talent, so he used a trick to make Wu Qi lose his trust in Wuhou, and Wuhou listened to slander, causing Wu Qi to abandon Wei and Chu.

Ruyi also heard about the grievances of the previous generation for the first time, and asked hesitantly: "What kind of strategy did you use?" ”

This time, the master smiled: "Uncle Acne told Wu Hou that Wu Qi was talented and might not be able to stay for a long time, so if he married the princess to him, if he agreed, it means that he intends to stay in Wei for a long time, otherwise it is not, and then Uncle Acne asked Wu Qi to drink at home, deliberately angering the princess and making the princess humiliate herself, Wu Qi saw this, and when he came back, he politely declined Wu Hou's marriage. Since then, Wuhou no longer trusts Wu Qi, and finally forced Wu Qi away. ”

Ruyi smiled and praised: "Uncle Prime Minister is really scheming. Only then did Ruyi understand why Wu Ming hated his uncle so much, it turned out to be to avenge his master.

"What kind of scheming, it's just a careful eye, and the jealousy can miss a general in vain. Otherwise, Wu Qi's change of law will be strong, and it will be the Wei State, and it will be the turn of the Chu State to do something. Master sneered.

While the two were talking, Ling Huyuan walked in and said with a smile: "Sir, what are you complaining about?" ”

The master pretended to be angry and said, "You kid, don't arrange me." Everyone laughed.

The three of them talked happily and laughed a lot, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

Ruyi and Linghu Yuan got up to say goodbye, Guigu sent them to the door with a smile and said to Linghu, "You kid should come less in the future, you don't have to kidnap my apprentice again." ”

Ruyi was a little uncomfortable being seen through by the master, and Ling Hu replied cheerfully: "That's not a matter of time or time." ”

When the two walked back, no one spoke, the night breeze gently brushed the skin, and the air was mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which was the honeysuckle planted by the master, and the sweet taste warmed people's hearts.

Ruyi didn't let Linghu Yuan send him back to the courtyard of the dormitory, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he said, "Brother Linghu, the senior brothers and brothers in the courtyard are probably asleep, so let's send them here." You... When are you leaving? Originally, Ruyi wanted to ask him what he and Wu Mingdu talked about? Later, when I thought about it, it was nothing more than a threat, so I didn't want to ask.

Ling Huyuan seemed to see Ruyi's thoughts and said, "We just talked about the current situation. He also talked about some old things from the past. Do not worry. Ling Huyuan paused and then said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I may not have time to say goodbye to you." ”

The two looked at each other quietly, and by the moonlight they could clearly see their own reflections in each other's eyes. When Ruyi felt that he was about to indulge in Ling Huyuan's dark eyes, Ling Huyuan sighed lightly, and then said: "Yuan Fei is my person, go to him if you have something, he knows how to contact the secret guard." After all, this is the gentleman's place, and my secret guard is not good to come in and protect you. ”

Ruyi nodded lightly and said softly, "You also take care." ”

Ling Huyuan listened to the tenderness, but it was not good to stay any longer, but he just raised his hand to smooth out the wishful sideburns. Then he turned and walked into the dark night behind him.
