Chapter 65: Farewell to the Long Pavilion
After the four brothers and sisters dispersed, Eighteen Niang took Xiping out of the house and rode straight to the Changting plank road.
Usually people who travel far away choose to leave Chang'an in the morning, like those who want to leave at sunset, but there are not many.
Therefore, there was almost no shadow on this road, Eighteen Niang and Xiping galloped all the way, and saw two figures standing there from a distance, it was Liu Yan and Xiao Ran.
Eighteen Niang turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward, and bowed to Xiao Ran and Liu Yan, "Thank you for your help this time." ”
Xiao Ran shook his head, "Chaohua and I already have a hatred of killing our father and taking our husband, if it weren't for my little mother, I would definitely have no way to sue him." This time she was able to take revenge, and the little lady had a great kindness to Xiao Ran. ”
Eighteen Niang took a package from Xiping's hand and stuffed it into Xiao Ran's hand, "Sister is going to Lanling, the road is far away, this is a little ritual prepared by my sister, but you must accept it." ”
Xiao Ran wanted to shirk it, but Liu Yan took it, "There are so many little girls." Ran Niang, we have a difficult road ahead, so don't shirk it. ”
Xiao Ran's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Yan in surprise: "Isn't Liu Gongzi going to Lanling with me?" ”
Liu Yan nodded, "That's natural, you are a weak woman, you go on the road alone, what if the Chaohuayu Party wants to be unfavorable to you?" Since we pretend to be a fake couple, let's start and finish, let me protect you. ”
Xiao Ran sighed and nodded.
The two turned out to be not a real couple.
This Xiao Ran is a wonderful person who is searched everywhere by Eighteen Niang. She is indeed a side branch of the Lanling Xiao family, and the hatred of wine and killing her father is also true. It's just that on the way to sue the emperor with her husband, she met a mountain bandit, and the real Liu Yan was killed a long time ago.
And Liu Yan, who appears now, is a strange person found in the plum period, and his family has been good at firearms for generations. His fathers were the craftsmen who made Tang cannons for Chaohua, but they were not slaves, and they were not subject to deed of sale and were not regulated, and Liu Yan's grandfather was dissatisfied with Chaohua sending Tang cannons to Zhao Yi's army, but concealed them from the Tang king.
The drawings of Tang Cannon were sent over overnight, Chaohua killed people and killed people, and slaughtered all the Liu family. Liu Yan was hidden in a tree by his grandfather, witnessed the tragic death of the whole family, and also got the blood-stained Tang cannon casting blueprints.
Yes, Liu Yan's real name is Liu Sandao.
Eighteen Niang looked at Liu Sandao, and then at Xiao Ran, and always felt that there was something more involved between the two, if it could be done, it would be a good thing for her to do.
"Brother Liu, after you sent Sister Ran to Lanling, and avoided the limelight, your craftsmanship was revealed to the world this time, there must be many people who want to find you, you can be careful."
Eighteen Niang said, scooped out a black sign, and said: "If you encounter something, take this sign and go to the store to remember, and the shopkeeper will help you." ”
Liu Sandao shook his head, "We are not avenging Xiaoniang, but for ourselves." The great revenge has been avenged, even if it is dead, it is also a smiling Jiuquan. You can take the silver, but you can't take the brand. If you take it, if you are caught, it will leave endless troubles for the little lady. What's more, Li Shizi has already arranged a retreat for us. ”
Plum period he ......
Eighteen Niang arched her hand at the two: "Even so, I won't say much, two, there will be a period later!" ”
Liu Sandao and Xiao Ran turned over and got on their horses, arched their hands at Eighteen Niang, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Gradually, in the setting sun, there were only two black dots that became smaller and smaller.
Eighteen Niang sighed, if she could, she also wanted to ride a horse and whip and smile proudly.
"Xiping, let's go back!" Eighteen Niang tightened the whip in her hand, stepped on the saddle, and sat down with a slight touch. The horse threw up his head and let out a breath of heat.
"Little lady, there seems to be a person there!" Xiping said, pointing to the distant hillside, and said nervously.
Eighteen Niang hurriedly turned her head to take a look, and was relieved to see the tall figure. Although it is a little far away, he is so tall and has slightly curly hair, and at first glance it looks like a plum period. He also came to send Liu Sandao and Xiao Ran, but he didn't come forward.
A gust of wind blew, the leaves swished, the long weeds inside and outside the pavilion bent over, and the dust on the official road was like yellow sand, flying all over the sky.
Eighteen Niang could feel that the dragonfly hairpin that Li Ziqi gave her was jumping in the wind, as if it was about to rise into the air in the next second.
She raised her hand, raised her horsewhip at Li Ziqi, and shouted, "Go!" ”
Xiping glanced at it from a distance and followed with his horse.
Eighteen Niang didn't know at the moment that she, Xiao Ran, and Liu Sandao still had a moment to get together, and they didn't know that Li Ziqi had made such an arrangement for Liu Sandao.
When I returned to the temple, it was already completely dark. Bai 21 heard the footsteps of the eighteen mothers, and happily pounced.
The dog grows up very quickly, and Bailiang is no longer the soft and glutinous appearance when he came. He was very powerful, not like a dog, but like a wolf.
I heard that one night, he was still screaming at the moon, which scared Shen Qin in the courtyard next door and didn't fall asleep all night.
Eighteen Niang stretched out her hand and touched Bailiang's head, which was warm. Bailiang was happy in his heart, and rubbed it in the palm of Eighteen Niang's hand.
"What happened during the time I've been out." Eighteen Niang teased a hundred taels and asked.
Beiliu took Eighteen Niang's cloak and replied, "Qilang has been here." Explain that the child invited the little lady to go to the horse farm to ride a horse, and also walked a hundred taels. ”
Eighteen Niang was happy, "He has that trick of peeping into the heart, I just became addicted today, and I want to ride a horse, so he invited him." ”
"If you don't say it's brother and sister." Beiliu said, carefully put away the cloak, did not let the dust on it rise, and took it off for the servant to wash.
"One hundred taels, let's eat a big bone. This is your reward for the good deeds done by your master today. Let you be wronged, grow so big, you haven't run away, go to the racecourse tomorrow, we're better than the game. ”
Bailiang seemed to understand, wagging his tail happily and screaming.
"If your master is as clever as you, he won't be annoyed by the eldest brother." Eighteen Niang said, standing up, Nanzhi had already prepared the bath tub.
Beiliu watched, opened his mouth, and closed it again.
The owner of one hundred taels, isn't he a little lady? How could Shen Yao hate Xiao Niang? She was all confused.
Dongzhu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You forgot, why is this dog called Bailiang!" Speaking of which, this is the first money-losing business that Xiao Niang has done, and it really hurts me. ”
Beiliu twisted Dongzhu's face and scolded: "You think that the little lady is like you, and she has fallen into the eyes of money all day long." ”
Dongzhu was not annoyed, and straightened his chest proudly, "Why don't you say that I am the little lady's money bag?" Tell me that the husband and everything are unreliable, and the mountains will fall, and the trees will wither. It's better to rely on money, I help Xiaoniang earn a lot of money, and Xiaoniang won't be afraid of anything in the future. ”
Beiliu was amused by her words, "It's just that you have a lot of crooked reasoning." With this tricky kung fu, it's better to take a hundred taels to take a bath! ”
