Chapter 456: Goodbye Old Friend
He turned his head silently, laughed and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, in this way, the agreement between you and me is reached?" ”
I nodded, "It's cooperation." ”
"At three o'clock tomorrow night, I will send you to pick you up at the Beicheng City Pass, and if you don't come, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
In the line of sight, the deaf figure suddenly exploded, turning into a thick fog, swaying and dissipating into the air, and finally turning into invisible.
"White ......"
Seeing that the deaf was gradually leaving, Ruan Qing stood next to the desk and watched me just about to speak, when there was a sudden "quack" crisp sound in the ear, and the two of them turned their heads in unison with the sound, and saw that the huge incense burner placed in the hall was instantly cracked, cracks all over the body, spread into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, scattered on the ground, splashing incense ash everywhere.
Ruan Qing and I looked at each other, the bronze incense burner as high as several zhang was shattered under the seemingly random palm, and this clearly showed that the grasp of the strength was used to the extreme, and the force that was slapped into the incense burner only exploded after he left.
Gathering my thoughts, I exhaled slightly from my mouth, looked at Ruan Qing and said, "What are your plans?" ”
Ruan Qing glanced at the ruins of the incense burner on the ground, frowned, and said, "It's a pity for my baby." ”
I was really helpless, and I was about to turn around to leave, but I saw Ruan Qing coming to his senses and said, "I'll be with you tomorrow night." ”
"What are you going to do?" I stopped.
Ruan Qingyan smiled, "Of course, I went to see the real Princess Wushan." ”
I frowned, "What tricks do you want to play?" ”
"Don't play tricks, I'm going to surrender, it's okay, right?"
I closed my mouth after listening, and even my eyes narrowed, even though I still had a lot to ask, but at this time, I didn't know what to ask, my mind was full of how to rescue Wei Junyao from Ji Zongbu's hands, after thinking about it, I finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"But don't you need to think about how to-morrow night you can get on the deaf thief ship away from the eyes and ears of men?" Ruan Qing chuckled.
"Avoiding people's eyes?" I was stunned, then I reacted and turned my head, "Can't let them know?" ”
"What do you say?" Ruan Qing glanced at me, "Could it be that the northernmost city guard of the ancient road is not a dignified ancient road, and you want to collude with Jiuquan Mansion and go to Jiuquan Mansion as a guest?" ”
I was slightly surprised, but I felt that what she said was reasonable, so I hesitated a little and said, "But when the Jiuquan Mansion comes to the city, it is impossible not to be discovered by the defenders, right?" ”
"Why don't you take me with you?"
Watching Ruan Qingfeng gently swaying in the lotus leaves, I squinted my eyes and said, "I need a sword now." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Ruan Qing's eyes, and then he nodded suddenly and said, "Tomorrow night, people and swords will be together." ”
I nodded, left the Feng Tower, and turned back to the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord's mansion was empty, Huaibei had never come back since he took up his post with Wu Jiyun, the huge courtyard was very deserted, standing alone in it, looking at the increasingly heavy twilight, he actually felt deep loneliness for the first time.
I remember when I first arrived in Chengdu, Yao Erye told me that the higher people go, the colder, emptier, and more lonely they become, so when two peerless masters fight, they will begin to sympathize with each other, because in the whole world, only the enemy in front of them can truly understand this sigh of loneliness that ordinary people can't understand.
I'm just feeling a little bit now, and I'm a little afraid, if I really go to the pinnacle of power or strength one day, I really don't know what kind of mentality I will have to live every day.
When I first came to the ancient road, I always felt that the sun and the moon rose and set for a long time, but now it became extremely fast, and when it came to the evening of the next day, Ruan Qing was carried to the gate of the city lord's mansion in a black sedan chair.
"This sword is called Canghuai, a poetic name, a dustless blade, which was used in the palace for viewing in the past, and has never been stained with blood, but the sword will blade the enemy, and I hope it can play a role in your hands."
Ruan Qing held the sword in both hands and handed it to me, I held the hilt of the sword with slight force, a crisp sound of the sword blade unsheathed suddenly chanted in the air, the sword body was as white as snow, and at the same time, there was a very strange mark on the hilt, which looked like tears.
Feeling the long-restrained sword intent faintly erupted, I raised my hand and pulled out the entire sword blade out of the scabbard, the incomparably sharp sword, the sword color was as clear as autumn water, a faint blue light flashed, the light suddenly appeared, flashing a more tragic light than the light, only to see a dazzling sword light flying up like a rainbow, the cold sword light, the autumn water-like long sword did not have a trace of blood, only a little tear.
"Good sword!"
I couldn't help but praise.
"Pink for the beauty, sword for the hero, it should be my gift to you." Ruan Qing said with a smile on the side.
I looked at it for a moment, then put the blade into the sheath again, looked at Ruan Qing and said, "You are clearly saying that I have to send you something." ”
Ruan Qing shook his head, "I just hope that after seeing Princess Wushan, you won't be too cruel to me, and you should just buy peace." ”
I was silent, I looked up at the sky, the stars were dense, the moon was like a hook, and I calculated that it was almost time to go to Beicheng Pass, so I asked Ruan Qing what the plan was.
Ruan Qing pursed her lips, but she didn't say a word, she suddenly changed her face, raised one arm weakly and bonelessly, slapped a palm on my chest, and before I could sense it, she turned around and ran.
I was stunned by this palm, and the pain in my chest was incomparable, and I gritted my teeth and looked at her peerless figure, but my heart moved, and I hurriedly chased out.
Two shadows flew up and down the wall in Shuofang City, jumping up and down, surprised countless night watchmen competing to catch up, I riveted enough strength to follow Ruan Qing, but I couldn't even touch the corners of her clothes, seeing that I was about to rush to the north defense line of the town, I shouted, "Bai Xiaoyi arrest people, quickly get out of the way for me!" ”
The defenders who were about to block the sword stopped their movements after hearing the sound, Ruan Qing saw the momentum and rushed to the end, the whole person was like an elf in the dark night, and after a few jumps, he had already jumped onto the city tower and jumped down towards the river that was tumbling outside the city wall.
I stood on top of the city tower with a panicked face, looking at the monstrous waves under my feet, Ruan Qing had disappeared, but in the darkness not far away, a candle flame was swaying, swaying back and forth along the ups and downs of the waves, and the defenders around me set up their spears as if they were facing a great enemy, and when they were about to throw them at the lamplight, I said sharply: "The spies of Jiuquan Mansion have mixed in the city, you are strictly defending here, and no one is allowed to move without my order." ”
With that, he jumped and fell into the rolling waves.
The waves scraped on my body like a knife, but when I entered the water, my body was suddenly pulled by a force, and when I reacted, I saw Ruan Qing's half of his head exposed on the surface of the river, holding my shoulders in his hands, and swimming quickly in the direction where the lights came.
"Didn't you grow up by the river, why is the water so bad!"
The waves hit me one after another, I could only barely sink to the bottom of the river under Ruan Qing's drag, and I didn't know how to open my mouth when I heard her words.
People swim to the boat, the boat goes to the people, the two meet, stretch down a dark green artemisia from the boat to the front, I like to grab a life-saving straw, as soon as I raised my hand, my body left the water, and jumped on the splint with Ruan Qing, the whole person was lying on the ground like a soup chicken panting, and after a while, I slowly stood up, wiped the water on my face, and saw a rickety old man on the bow of the boat, and I didn't reply: "Bai family boy, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
I heard the familiar voice, and couldn't help but take two steps forward, from the side, watching the old man show half of his face full of wrinkles in the dim light, a heart beat wildly, and shouted: "Second grandfather?!" ”
The second grandfather nodded as if he was enjoying it, and turned the boat around the bow in the huge waves with the boat artemisia in his hand, his cloudy eyes did not move for a moment, but he let out a faint sigh in his mouth, "If you should come, you will come back sooner or later, and no one can stop you." ”
