8. Childe retreat
Lin Wanyan's mind kept coming up with many, many pictures, and her whole person seemed to be wandering, wandering away from memories. As for how she ended up in bed, she didn't know. It's just that after waking up, it was not Xiao Yuwen who appeared in front of her, and she stepped on the snow, and the snow gently wiped the sweat on her forehead with a towel.
"Miss, are you awake? your clothes are sweaty, are you? Treading Xue took care of her all night, and her face was a little tired.
Lin Wanyan soaked in the bath bucket, the whole person was a lot refreshed, from the moment she got up, she felt really better, it seems that Xiao Yuwen's healing last night was indeed effective.
Unlike last night's medicated bath, today's tub is sprinkled with unknown flower petals, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Treading snow, how many days have I been here?" Lin Wanyan knew her identity, thinking that she was rescued by Xiao Yuwen like this, her brother must be very worried, maybe the news has been transmitted back to Tanglin, and her father and mother will also be very anxious.
Lin Wanyan didn't expect that in this world, she was actually a princess. Didn't it mean that the princess had no worries about food and clothing? Why did she have the fate of being a close relative? But it was the stupid princess who volunteered! What could she do if she didn't? Watching her country fall or even perish? She didn't seem to have a choice, because that was the best arrangement.
"Miss, this is the sixth day. "Taxue and Lin Wanyan came to Hanyue Mountain on the same day, so she remembers it very clearly.
"What about your son?" Lin Wanyan wasn't sure if Xiao Yuwen knew her identity, but if she wanted to get in touch with her brother, she would definitely need his help, and she didn't know who Xiao Yuwen was, but she could be sure of two things: he saved her, and he was not a bad person.
"Childe is in retreat. Li Gongzi came over early this morning, and Gongzi instructed that he could find Li Gongzi for anything. "Li Muchuan has been familiar with the snow for a long time.
"Your son needs to retreat because he healed me last night? Who is Li Gongzi?" Lin Wanyan has been practicing martial arts with her brothers since she was a child, and Emperor Shunxi also spoiled her, so she messed around. But she still has a talent in this area, especially good at swordsmanship, and often compares her brothers to her. She naturally knew how draining it was to use her internal strength to help her heal her injuries like Xiao Yuwen did last night.
"I only know that Childe came out of the room last night, his face was very pale, and he told me to stay by Miss's side and take care of it. "Treading the snow has never seen Xiao Yuwen like that, and it looks like he is about to stand unsteadily. "Li Gongzi has been by his son's side since he was a child, studying and practicing martial arts together, and the two have a very good relationship. ”
"When will your son come back?" It seems that Xiao Yuwen really went into retreat to recuperate to help him heal, which made Lin Wanyan very unhappy. He could have done otherwise, and she couldn't afford to pay it back in her life just because he saved her life.
Childe didn't say anything. Probably only Li Gongzi knows. Li Muchuan is one of Xiao Yuwen's most trusted people, as long as Xiao Yuwen is not there, it is Li Muchuan who can make up his mind.
After breakfast, he walked in the snow and accompanied Lin Wanyan for a walk in the garden. Because the injury is much better, Lin Wanyan's steps are much lighter. Arriving at the door of Lingmo Pavilion, Lin Wanyan stopped thinking for a while and walked in. When the guards at the door saw that it was them, they did not stop them, but saluted.
There is a man in green clothes dancing a sword in the Lingmo Pavilion, his cloth shoes are light but smooth and powerful, and his moves are fancy but not false.
"It's Li Gongzi. Treading Xue whispered to Lin Wanyan.
Lin Wanyan also guessed it, because this is the place where Xiao Yuwen practiced, ordinary people naturally dare not enter easily, and the relationship between Li Gongzi and Xiao Yuwen in Taxue's mouth is extraordinary, so this person must be Li Gongzi.
Li Muchuan also knew that it was Lin Wanyan, and there had only been two women in the entire Cold Moon Mountain so far, one was Lin Wanyan, and the other was stepping on snow, and he naturally knew about stepping on snow. Li Muchuan hooked the end of his sword, took down another sword on the wall, picked up the sword and tossed it in the air a few times, and threw the sword straight at Lin Wanyan.
Lin Wanyan jumped up, took the sword and held it in his hand. She knew this sword, which her father specially found a craftsman to cast for her, and it should have been dropped during the fight that day, but she didn't expect Xiao Yuwen to bring her sword back with her.
Without giving Lin Wanyan time to think, Li Muchuan swung his sword and stabbed him. Lin Wanyan bent down and walked sideways, dodged a sword, and immediately attacked Li Muchuan from the side, one sword was faster than the other, and each sword stabbed at Li Muchuan's most casual place. Li Muchuan saw the moves, dodged flexibly, focused on defense, and rarely attacked. After twenty or thirty swords, the two were still evenly matched.
Li Muchuan put away his sword, inserted it into the scabbard, and smiled and clenched his fists with both hands towards Lin Wanyan. "The girl's body is smart, the sword is on the sidelines, the movement is static, and the moves are exquisite, which is admired by the next!"
Lin Wanyan only saw Li Muchuan's appearance clearly at this time, with a Chinese face, wide forehead, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, full lips, snow-white teeth, and a very sunny smile. Xiao Yuwen belongs to the facial features so delicate that he can't find fault with them, and Li Muchuan belongs to each facial feature alone, but it is very attractive when put together.
"Li Gongzi has won the award, I am a class with an axe. ”
"The girl is too modest! After two days of rest, the girl will be healed. Li Muchuan made a "please" gesture and brought Lin Wanyan into the soft couch behind the screen. Walking out of the door and waiting in the snow.
"I heard Taxue say that Xiao Gongzi is in retreat and recuperating, isn't it serious? This makes me very worried!" Lin Wanyan sat down on the side of the soft couch, took the water handed by Li Muchuan with both hands, and did not drink it, but put it on the small table in the middle of the soft couch.
"The girl doesn't have to worry, the third master only needs to recuperate for a few days and will be fine, the girl and remember the words of the third master and protect herself. Xiao Yuwen's condition was far worse than Li Muchuan expected, and when his body had not healed, he abused his internal strength, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he couldn't recover at all without ten days and half a month. But what Xiao Yuwen is determined to do, then he must do it, and it is useless to persuade anyone.
Lin Wanyan remembered that Xiao Yuwen said last night that she wanted her to protect herself when he was away. Now that Li Muchuan is talking about it again, she is a little suspicious, could it be that they know something? Li Muchuan didn't make a few moves, obviously retained her strength, and just wanted to try her skills. "I want to meet Xiao Gongzi, I don't know when it will be convenient. ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the girl, the third master has never seen a guest in retreat, and even I can't see him. If the girl has anything, she can trust it, and she will definitely do it again. "Even Li Muchuan can't see Xiao Yuwen, that's a lie. But Xiao Yuwen's current situation doesn't want Lin Wanyan to see it, it's true.
Lin Wanyan just gave up thinking about it, since it was a retreat, naturally he didn't see anyone, and Xiao Yuwen was injured for himself twice, and it was unreasonable to disturb him again. According to the relationship between Li Muchuan and Xiao Yuwen, if Xiao Yuwen knew anything, he would definitely not hide it from him. "It's fine. But I think that I have been bothering Xiao Gongzi here for a few days, and Xiao Gongzi and I have never known each other in our lives, so I am really grateful for this careful care. My family is not in Nanli City, but I came to play with my brother, and now I have lost contact with my brother, and I am afraid that my family will be worried. I want to bother Xiao Gongzi to help me and contact my brother. Xiao Gongzi's kindness, he will definitely come to the door with his family to thank him one day. ”
Li Muchuan smiled, it seems that Xiao Yuwen guessed well, she not only recovered her skills, but also recovered her memory. "The girl is serious! But there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Li Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say. Lin Wanyan's expression is always relaxed, this is the fit between people and people, with Xiao Yuwen, he doesn't like to talk or laugh, but she is always very down-to-earth, very relieved, and there is no embarrassment of silence. Li Muchuan always greeted him with a smile and spoke politely, but it made her wary, even if he was someone Xiao Yuwen trusted.
That day, the son rescued the girl, and he was a little worried in his heart. The third master is kind, and he can't see death without help, but at the same time, with my understanding of the third master, the person who can hurt the third master must not be an ordinary person. If he comes to seek revenge in the future, he will naturally be in trouble. Don't hide it from the girl, she persuaded the third master many times not to cause unnecessary trouble, but the third master insisted on going his own way. What the girl said to thank her, I think the third master naturally won't care, the third master is desperate to save the girl, not to ask the girl to return. I only pray that the life of the third master in the future will be as peaceful and quiet as before. Although Li Muchuan deliberately concealed some information, what he said was all sincere, and Xiao Yuwen did not need to be involved in danger many times.
Lin Wanyan's face became a little solemn after hearing this, she didn't think about it, she thought it was just an ordinary roadblock robbery, but now that she thinks about it, it is indeed a little strange.
On that day, a group of them was dozens of miles outside Nanli City, when they were suddenly attacked by a burst of arrows, and then a group of people in black appeared, and the two sides fought, and she quickly rushed out of the carriage to help. Outnumbered, Zhenyeol covered her escape, so she rode her horse into the woods path, throwing them off for a while but suddenly encountered a trap, and a group of people appeared in front of her, she had no choice but to fight them hard.
If it was just a robbery, then why did they chase her relentlessly? There was also a group of people in ambush in the woods, and this was obviously a trap set in advance, with the purpose of killing her! She actually thought about it now, and it seemed that Li Muchuan's worries were very necessary, and if she knew that Xiao Yuwen had saved her, it would definitely bring him trouble!
"Everything I owe to Xiao Gongzi, I am grateful for my great kindness, and I remember this kindness in my heart. Li Gongzi, I can't stay here any longer, I have something to ask for. Lin Wanyan knew that it was time to leave, and the longer it was, the more dangerous it became.
"Girl, you don't have to be polite, your business is the third master's business, and the third master's business is my business. Lin Wanyan is really a smart person, Li Muchuan wants to see how she will sit next, although he has already planned carefully with Xiao Yuwen.
"I have been missing my brother for many days, and he must have been looking for me everywhere, but I don't know who was chasing me that day, and I can't throw myself into the net. I want to write a letter to explain the situation to my brother, and ask Li Gongzi to bring my sword and letter, find a secret place, and leave a secret message, and my brother will definitely find it. I wonder if Li Gongzi can help with this?" Her sword is specially made, inlaid with seven precious rubies in the shape of a crescent, and it is also engraved with the word "绾", Zhen Lie can definitely recognize it at a glance, plus his own handwritten letter, the credibility is even higher.
"This matter is simple, I don't know how sure the girl is?" Li Muchuan had already investigated, it was easy to find Zhen Lie, he just didn't know how to ensure that they could enter the city safely with the few people under Zhen Lie, and the current chaotic situation in Nanli City was probably beyond Lin Yanyan's imagination.
"I wasn't sure until I got in touch with my brother. "Lin Wanyan is telling the truth, this is the Great Shenyue, not Dongling. "However, I'm sure my brother must be trying to figure it out. ”
"Okay, then ask the girl to prepare the letter, and arrange it at once. Everything was planned, and Li Muchuan was not very worried.
"Then there is Lao Li Gongzi, I'll go back and write it right away. After Lin Wanyan finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.
"The girl is polite!" Li Muchuan also got up and smiled and sent him off.
