Although the sound of falling rain can still be heard outside the high window. The air in the room was a little dull, and on the five-leaf lotus candlestick placed on the silver incense table, five white candles were shining, reflecting half of the orange halo on Lu's side face.

All expressions were overshadowed by the stunned, and Lu Shi opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he could only utter a few words intermittently, "You're in... Say... What..."

Han Li snorted lightly and said, "Jing Lan, you heard it." ”

Without waiting for Yi Yu to ponder the meaning of his words, Lu Shi turned around and turned his head away, his back to Han Li, his body was unusually stiff, and his voice was the same:

"I just thought I had never heard that."

"But I will always remember that I said it," Han Li's voice carried some relief as he wished, "Over the years, I have often wondered if I had said this before I left Beijing. Then I won't at least regret it for eighteen years after I found out that you were married. But I'm glad I didn't say it, otherwise I would have relied on something to support me for twenty-one years. ”

As early as when I was a teenager, I fell in love, my childhood sweetheart was close to the water, and I always thought that the bright moon would be my own, but who knew that in the end, it was looking at the moon in the water, an empty dream.

"That year with you and Pingyang they gave things, I first went to the south, it was a troubled time, there were many righteous troops in the world, but most of them were more than enough, but the wealth was insufficient, I wanted to make a fortune with that money, and then recruit troops and horses, so I changed my name and surname, because of my youth and vigor, the first transaction was to run to the northwest of Linzhou, with tens of thousands of taels of silver goods, along the way robbers are not rare, but there are no danger in the past, nearly two months away, it seems that it is about to arrive, but on the sand road encountered a group of sand bandits...... Those people are not robbers, they are a group of murderous wicked people, and their martial arts skills are not high. Fierce but full of ...... I was lucky enough to escape with some wounds, leaving behind the cargo and the lives of those hired people, like a lost dog. ”

He spoke in a flat tone about his past experience, and Lu Shi still had his back to him, but Yi Yu could tell that she was listening carefully.

"Did you know that the most common thing on the Northwest Trade Route is not the merchants, horses and goods, but the bandits? I ran away with my wounded horse for a long time, and when I got out of the sand, I no longer had the strength to hurry, but I met another group of sand bandits, who probably had a big hand today, so they did not kill me, but brought me back to the village with men and horses...... Later, penniless and unbelievable, I became one of them in the place where I didn't go to the village in front of me and didn't leave the store behind, in order to survive. ”

Han Li lightly brushed aside how he had become a sand bandit, but Yi Yu could hear the faint helplessness in his words.

"Who knows how to stay in that bandit's den. It's half a year," he didn't shy away from letting the Lu family know about that dark past, "I have killed people, many, bandits, but more travelers, in those bloody days, I am glad that I am not lost, because I always remember to revive the Han family and stand in front of you again in front of you." ”

"Half a year later, I had already saved enough money and knew the way, I left the bandit village and had some affection with those outlaws, but they did not stop me. When I returned to the south, I had not lost the rest of my treasures, and I sold everything for money, bought a large amount of wine and food, hired a small group of men, and headed back for the northwest trade route. ”

Hearing this, a muffled sound came out of Lu's throat, and Han Li's words paused, as if waiting for her to say something, but it can be seen that she didn't continue to speak, so she continued to speak:

"After being a bandit for half a year, I knew how to avoid raiding on remote sandy roads and hidden mountain forests, and arrived safely at the bandit village where I had been before...... After another half a year, I became the head of the village, during which I rescued many desperate caravans who had been plundered and persecuted by other bandits. When a person is in the most danger, the straw he grasps will make him remember it for the rest of his life, so I slowly cultivated my henchmen and began to annex other bandit villages in a planned way, in order to avoid exhaustion. Kill past business travelers..... Two years have passed, and the Duyun Village I am in charge of has occupied a place on the entire Northwest Trade Road. ”

Yu remembered that Fang Qiao had said such a paragraph in Longquan Town, Han Li relied on the property donated by the Lu family and Pingyang to solicit bandits on the Northwest Trade Road, which was rampant, but he didn't want to, there were such twists and turns and reasons for it, he told the Lu family so frankly, and he was not afraid of arousing her disgust, but let Yu Yu, who still had a good impression of him, look up to him.

"At that time, the Li family was powerful, and when I was thinking about how to take refuge, I learned the news of your marriage, and after some time, I just connected with the Li family, but they had already occupied Chang'an. Changed the world to belong. Han Li laughed at himself, "I always seem to be one step slower, listening to me talk so much nonsense, I don't know if you will be impatient, just don't say this, I can't explain to you what happened later." ”

“...... You said. Lu Shi finally opened his mouth to say two words, and listening to the voice, he had already calmed down.

Han Li's voice became a little erratic, and he recalled some things:

"The previous dynasty that destroyed my family was destroyed, and the woman who cared for her married a woman again, and Li Tang was first built. Gaozu restored the reputation of many scholars who had been tarnished by the previous dynasty, including my Han family, and my previous heart for building a business faded, and I entrusted Duyun Village to my brother and went to Chang'an City alone. Hehe, you must not know, I lived in Beijing for two years, the house was bought on the street near the house, you don't laugh at me, almost every day, I have to be in disguise, to the door of the house for a while, sometimes good luck coincides with you go out, look at it from a distance, if you are with that person, I will avoid, if you take the child, I will quietly follow, if you are alone, I will pretend to be a passerby, and pass by you. ”

He used the voice of reminiscence, talking about this unknown and sad memory, the feelings in every word did not seem to be adulterated, he said this to Lu, it may have other purposes, but it is more likely, just to let the person he likes for half his life understand his mind.

Lu's shoulders moved, and he didn't make a sound, and he couldn't know what kind of expression she would have on her face when she heard these words. But as a woman, it's hard not to be moved.

"I saw that you were doing well, although I was unwilling, but I still let go and went back to Duyun Village, originally planning to wash my hands in a golden basin and then find a small town in the south to spend the rest of my life. But who knew that on the second day after I returned to the village, someone came to the door at night, injured several good players in my village, and asked to see me," he paused, his voice suddenly became low, and Yu Yu had a hunch that what he was going to say below was definitely an unheard of secret, so he didn't have any weakness in eavesdropping on people's conversations, so he simply put his ear to the hole and listened carefully.

"He asked me three questions: can I have the heart of Jianye, can I have a loved one, and can I have a wish that has not been fulfilled. I have decided to wash my hands in a golden basin, where to build the heart of the industry, but I have a beloved, there is also a wish unfulfilled, but how can I answer him, then send this plague god away, but he laughed and said that one day he will need his help, left a name for me, and then walked away, three days later, I wanted to wash my hands in the golden basin, but followed by one of my brothers who was born and died, but on the same day coma was present, Changfeng had a stubborn illness in the body, and sometimes attacked, but that time he couldn't wake up, and Langzhong in the village could not diagnose...... Later, I found the man in the place where the name was written, and cured Changfeng's disease, but I was also voluntarily poisoned. ”

Yi Yu's eyes widened, and he didn't have to think much to know who the plague god Han Li was talking about was - Yao Buzhi!

"You're poisoned, but you're okay now?" Hearing this, Lu Shi finally couldn't help but turn his head, there was no twist on his face, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Yi Yu heard Han Li chuckle with some pleasure, "If I knew that you would look back at me when you mentioned this, then I won't talk about the previous nonsense." ”

In this case, he was still in the mood to laugh, Lu Shi glared at him, then turned around and pulled the chair on the side and put it down three or four steps opposite him, sat down, every move was natural, she was no longer a beautiful girl, no matter how she felt when she heard Han Li's confession, she would not be ashamed at all.

Han Li waited for her to sit down before continuing to tell:

"After I was poisoned, I didn't care at first, but I did owe him a favor, so according to what he said, I took a part of my men and horses to deal with King An, who was leading the troops outside, and saved his life by chance, and was introduced by him as a confidant and friend, not long after this incident, that person took me to a place."

"Jing Lan, no matter what I'm going to say next, you can listen to me first, okay?"

"Hmm."

Although he had already guessed what Han Li was going to say, when he actually heard it, Yu Yu still felt a little cloudy in his head.

"He locked my five senses, drove a carriage to take me for nearly two days, when my five senses were solved, but I was in front of a villa built on the mountainside, under the mountain is an endless dense forest, the mountain gate is enough to have the Chang'an city gate is tall, the walls are all uniform size of the stone, the lintel hangs a piece of black jade with a length of a zhang, engraved Danyan two words - Hongzhuang."

Red Village? Yi Yu listened to what he said, but he had never heard of this place before.

The man signaled to the guard in front of the door the mark on the forearm, I was searched up and down again, before entering the village, a into the mountain gate, it was like a world away, the beauty of the world, I have seen a lot, the best places in the world, I have been to a lot, but even the palace does not have such a natural posture, with the stone as the wall, the waterfall into a curtain, the carved fence jade, the mystery flower in the rock, the red village in the male and female waiter clothes, I have never seen before, the accent when laughing and whispering, can not distinguish where the dialect is, I was led all the way to the foot of the waterfall facing the mountain gate, where there was a water pavilion that seemed to be in the rain. ”(！ )
