Chapter 5 (4)

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. It's been three days. It has been three days since Huizong was taken into captivity. Many soldiers in the Taishou Mansion in the border city are still waiting for the news that the Vietnamese army has come to talk. The border city is plunged into gloom and misery inside and out, and it is boring. The guards guarding the city also gradually began to relax, as if they knew that this city was already within reach of the Yue Kingdom.

Today is Jiang Peng, who is on duty, standing on top of the city tower and looking into the distance. The news to Jiang Lin has been spread for three days, and after working day and night, I think that the pro-soldier has arrived at Jiang's mansion. If King Ruoning can ascend the throne in one fell swoop, it will be the glory of his Jiang family. He had already sent his own soldiers to the various city gates, and if anyone saw Huizong being brought back, he would be the first to inform him.

At this time, the right lieutenant climbed up the city tower and walked to Jiang Peng's side, "I have been thinking for a long time, I should talk to the left and right generals......

Jiang Peng turned his head, and just as he wanted to say a few words to him, he heard a soldier next to him shouting: "The Vietnamese army has attacked the city!" ”

In the courtyard of the capital of Qiancheng Villa, Yan Ziqian sat on a chair and drank wine one by one. The news of Huizong's exile and King Ning's imminent accession to the throne was boiling in the capital was spreading, and he threw the cup to the ground angrily, "Someone is coming." ”

The little servant walked in from outside. "Go to the kidnapping alley and find a girl to come over." As he spoke, Guo Chuanbai was passing by the door of the room, and when he heard Yan Ziqian's words, he saw the little guy walking towards the door, so he walked into the house. Yan Ziqian was still drinking wine cup by cup.

"Now that the blood poison has not been cleared, the owner of the village still bans women."

"What else can I do in this situation? If King Ning really inherits the great treasure, where is there a place for my humble villa? Yan Ziqian only had a sense of powerlessness at this time, he glanced at Guo Chuanbai, raised his glass and drank another glass of wine, "Shibo, you have taught me to be loyal to the monarch since I was a child, but now how can I get revenge for this loyal monarch and my royal family?" ”

Guo Chuanbai still stubbornly said: "Owner, we can still think about it in the long run......"

"Think long-term?" Yan Ziqian sneered and opened his shirt, bright red pustules covered his entire chest, "How can I have time to think about the long term when I look like this?" Shibo, I've always respected you so much, but now I'm afraid I'm dying! The Wang family is full of people, and I am the only one left, so what's the use of being loyal? ”

"But Dark One and Yue Ning haven't come back yet."

"How do you know they're not dead?" Yan Ziqian slapped the table anxiously and stood up again. This was the first time in a long time that he glared at Guo Chuanbai. Guo Chuanbai looked at Yan Ziqian a little stunned, Yan Ziqian tidied up his clothes, just at this time, the little guy walked into the courtyard with a bewitching woman, Yan Ziqian didn't even look at it, walked past the woman, the little guy hurriedly greeted him again, Yan Ziqian shouted angrily: "Prepare the carriage, go to King Ning's mansion!" ”

The little guy hurriedly followed, and the woman looked at Guo Chuanbai in a daze, a little at a loss, Guo Chuanbai took out a silver ingot from his arms, "Go back." The woman saw that there were as many as ten taels of silver, so she didn't care about them, and laughed: "Uncle remember to come to the kidnapping alley again to look for slaves." ”

That Guo Chuanbai was already irritable in his heart, and when he heard the woman's words, he sent all the anger in his heart to her, and burst into fright: "Don't get out of here!" When the woman saw that he was in a hurry, she hurriedly took the silver and went out of the courtyard.

Guo Chuanbai picked up the flask and drank it all, he deeply felt that Yan Ziqian was slowly getting out of his control, and after Yan Ziqian was poisoned, he slowly saw Yan Ziqian's nature. He was not a good man in the first place, and this time he endangered his life, so that he could get rid of anything in order to achieve his goals. Perhaps in this person's heart, he is the most important person. Guo Chuanbai smiled self-deprecatingly, also left the small courtyard, and walked out of the door.

The border city is lost!

Since the disappearance of Huizong, everyone has no intention of training, and at this time, the sudden attack of the Yue Kingdom caught everyone off guard. Seeing that the morale of the people was sluggish, and some even wanted to abandon the army and surrender, the generals of the left and right roads ordered to fight and retreat, and withdrew from the border city with an army of 100,000 and marched towards Kangcheng, north of the border city. The right lieutenant was even more troubled in his heart, he saw that the morale of the army was so good, even if he retreated to Kangcheng, he would definitely not be able to hold it, so he hurriedly rode his horse to catch up with the generals of the left and right roads.

"General, that day I saw a man who had saved the emperor with me, but after the emperor was captured, he couldn't find anyone, I guessed, Xu is a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes......" Before the right lieutenant finished speaking, he was kicked under the horse by the right general, at this time it was some distance from the border city, the Yue army did not pursue them, the 100,000 army had already lost their armor, and some people in the team were whispering how to escape from the battlefield.

The two generals on the left and right looked at the right lieutenant who fell on the soldier, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

The right lieutenant endured the pain on his body and muttered: "I, I'm afraid that if that person doesn't rescue the emperor, I will say it......"

When the right general saw him like this, he was even more resentful in his heart, and he pulled out the horsewhip on his body and pulled it on the right lieutenant at once, and the left general hurriedly stopped him when he saw this.

General Zuo shouted: "Stop! The army stopped in an instant. General Zuo pondered carefully, and the soldiers behind him didn't know what was happening in front of him, and kept whispering. General Zuo looked at the right lieutenant, turned his head and said to the right general: "Quickly send someone back to Beijing, only to say that there are people from the rivers and lakes who rescued the saint, but they are nowhere to be found, and ask someone to send some soldiers and horses to increase the number!" ”

General Right asked suspiciously, "How did you know that the Holy One was rescued?" ”

General Zuo turned the horse's head back to the direction of the border city, and said with a smile: "You and I have been waiting for three days, the Yue country has not sent envoys to discuss, you and I have repeatedly sent people to the Yue army camp, the marshal is closed, this time they raided the border city again, it must be the saint who was saved by the young man, they lost the bargaining chips and had to continue to attack the city!" ”

When the right general heard this, he was a little relieved, "The emperor ...... at this moment"

General Zuo sighed, "After arriving in Kangcheng, you and I will each send five thousand elites out of the city to search, and we will definitely bring the emperor back safely!" ”

The small village at dusk has its own peace, Yuening sits on a bamboo chair, watching the sun slowly set, the sky is full of red clouds, the people not far away are gradually curling with smoke, there are a few free-range chickens in the small yard, little by little scratching the rice on the ground. Dark One walked up to Yue Ning and draped a cloak on Yue Ning, "It's almost September, even in the south, it will be a little cold at night." ”

Yuening slowly stood up and looked back at Dark One, as if this was the first time she had seen Dark One wearing coarse cloth clothes. Although the dark one is not as handsome as Yan Ziqian, the long-term training of the dark guard naturally carries a bit of perseverance and courage. Yuening stood up, and saw that Dark One looked at her eyes very gently, and Dark One naturally gathered Yuening's cloak, "Today I went to work in the field with Brother Li, and I saw a wheat field in the east of the village, if you can go, I will take you to see it tomorrow." You have never seen a wheat field in the mountain villa and the capital since you were a child, but you really responded to Hu Zhonggong's sentence 'The mountains are cuiping, and the wheat turns over the yellow waves and rolls into the fields'. ”

Seeing that he was extremely interested, Yue Ning also tilted her head and asked, "Do you still farm?" ”

Dark One laughed innocently, "Where do I know this, but I want to settle down here with you in the future, and I will also learn from Brother Li, and then I will grow some dealers and raise some livestock, which can be regarded as self-sufficient." ”

Yue Ning was stunned when she heard him say this, she thought that Yi Yiyi's temperament would definitely focus on the major affairs of the villa, but he really wanted to stay here with her, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. "You, do you know that if you stay here, you will definitely not be like a mountain villa, you have studied martial arts for so many years, are you really willing to stay here? Will your parents not take revenge on them? ……”

Dark Yi smiled and pulled her into the house, and said, "Ning'er, do you know how happy I was when you said you wanted to stay here with me that day?" You and I grew up together, although my parents were the sons of the Wang family, the moment I went to the execution ground with the Wang family, I could no longer use my former name. When you were young, you spoke to me in the villa, named me, and called me my brother, and I made a vow that I would keep you safe for the rest of my life. ”

Yue Ning's hand was clenched tightly by Dark, and she saw that Dark had been staring straight at her, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed. She thought that "Brother Yi" was just a ridiculous title when she was a child, but she didn't expect that this would have a different meaning for Dark One.

"Although I was sent to the mountains by the Wang family to receive the most rigorous training since I was a child, they all told me that as a secret guard, I can only have a master in my heart, and I must not have any feelings for women. Ke Ning'er, every time I go to the capital, no matter how late you are, you will wait for me in the courtyard, I am injured, you go and ask for the best gold sore medicine for me, you make clothes for me, wash your hands and soup for me, I ...... I just don't know I'm worthy of you. ”

"Brother Yi ......"

"On that day, I heard the owner of the village say that this time you came to the border city with me to let you get close to the emperor. I often think that if you are so talented, even if you enter the palace, you will definitely be loved by the emperor, which is a hundred times better than following me, a nameless and nameless minion...... But along the way, I also figured it out, if you really go to the palace, deliver news to the owner every day, accompany the king like a tiger, if you are not careful, it is a big sin to lose your head. The inner courtyard of the palace is intrigued, how can you live a safe life? How can I protect you? ”

Dark Yi couldn't help it again and again, and pulled Yue Ning into his arms, Yue Ning stuck tightly to Dark One's chest, sniffing the breath on Dark One, it was the first time she leaned on Dark One so close when she was awake, and Dark One has always been quite polite. Although he has often been by her side since she was a child, he has always taken care of her like a brother. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them went through life and death together and fell here, she wouldn't have known that the dark one had hidden such a mind from her. On that day, she told Dark One that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him here, but she was just tired of the strife in the capital. It can be seen that Dark One is so affectionate, but she is a little at a loss and doesn't know how to respond.

Yuening does not deny her feelings for the dark one. They grew up with Yan Ziqian, Yan Ziqian was the young master of the villa, so she was closer to the dark one. She was already precocious, and she knew that she was just a chess piece to Yan Ziqian, and she was pulled by Yan Ziqian to block the knife before, and she was even more disdainful of Yan Ziqian's character. Dark One has protected her all the way, and now that he said this to her again, she was really moved in her heart.

"Ning'er, you rest first, I'll help the Li family's sister-in-law get some vegetables."

Secretly escaped and walked out of the house. Yue Ning walked to the table and sat down, there was still a residual warmth of the dark one on her body, she blushed, and her hand couldn't stop knocking on the table. She never knew that the man's body could be so warm, and even if he was gone now, it would make her heart hot. She silently recalled the words of the dark one, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, if she was here with him......

She walked to the door, and saw from a distance the appearance of Dark One scooping water out of the tank and cleaning vegetables, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit Dark One, making his whole person a little softer, and the killing intent on his body and the unique fortitude of Xi Wuren also faded a little. Dark One stood next to the sister-in-law of the Li family, handed over the washed vegetables, and walked out of the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, he saw Yue Ning leaning against the door looking at him from a distance, and smiled stupidly. Yue Ning saw him smirk at herself, and hurriedly retracted herself back into the house, her face flushed even more.

This is the most ordinary life of ordinary people, men farming and women weaving, and they are at peace with what they encounter, but for Yue Ning and Dark One, if there is no such experience, the two of them must live in the capital every day, thinking about how to avenge the Wang family and how to run the villa.

"It's not bad if it's in this life." Yue Ning tilted her head, looked at the appearance of Dark Yi putting down the dishes and chopsticks and walking out, and said softly. When he heard this, his steps were fixed, and a big smile appeared on his face, and he walked out of the room.
