Chapter 125: The Return of the Wandering
The waterfall on the green hill flows, pouring for thousands of miles, and the water droplets collide with the rocks to create an empty and wonderful sound.
On this hill, in the mist, stood a cool, wide mansion made of rock, with a blue exterior and covered with moss. Not far in front of the mansion, on the edge of the cliff, there is actually a small pavilion, which is a place for the daily leisure of the mansion owner.
There was a clear and soothing ancient tune coming from the small pavilion, as if there was nothing, like the mountains and water whispering.
Who's playing the piano there?
Hua Yan slowly got up, opened the bed curtain, and groped forward when he heard the sound.
She stepped barefoot on the cold stone slab, unaware of it, immersed in the sound of the piano.
The cool wind kept blowing her hair and skirt, but it still couldn't blow her heart.
That voice, clear and sad, to whom did it complain? Just take my words with you.
Painted Yan walked forward without hindrance, and she felt a confused white in front of her, which she had never seen since she lost her sight.
She didn't notice anything about that.
"The floating life is very hard and busy, and the grand banquet is finally over." She read step by step, "Sorrow and joy are all the same as illusory, and a dream in ancient and modern times is absurd." She suddenly smiled bitterly, "The rambling red sleeves are scarred, and the infatuation holds hatred for a long time!" β
The sound of the piano blends into this poem, which is even more bleak.
She was tired of walking, stopped, and sat there alone. The source of the sound of the piano is in front of her.
"Third Master, is there really a medicine to revive the dead in this world?" Hua Yan said blankly.
The man who stroked the qin put down the strings in his hand and sighed, "There is no such medicine in the world. β
Hua Yan smiled bitterly, looking up at the invisible sky, motionless.
"Yan'er suffered." The divine doctor said with pity.
He knew that he could not persuade her to solve the knot at this time, so he sat down and continued to play the piano for her. A man in green clothes watched them from afar behind the painted face.
On that day, the person who rescued Huayan by the Mengzhen River was the white ugly divine doctor and immortal who had traveled through the rivers and lakes and never returned.
The strange mist is actually a kind of magic medicine made by the gods, and once burned, the medicinal power is infinite.
Although the white divine doctor and Changsheng have traveled all year round, they have also heard about what happened in the painting house. After they knew that Huayan had fallen off the cliff, they immediately prepared to rush back to Taoyuan. Although the journey was day and night, it was delayed for several months due to the long distance.
It wasn't until they passed through Luling County that they heard that the painting had appeared in the Qingshan Pavilion, and the Qingshan Pavilion was not far from Luling County, so they decided to change their route and go to the Qingshan Pavilion to find out. Coincidentally, at this time, I met the soldiers of the Queen Mother lurking outside Luling County, so I stood on the basis to watch the meeting, but unexpectedly met the painting.
After saving Huayan, he took her back to a friend's house in the mountains not far from Luling County to recuperate.
This mountain road is winding and rugged, and there is no one in a radius of 100 miles, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Queen Mother's people.
The painting face stood still, and his mind traveled far away, and one stop was several hours.
Changsheng was worried that she was overly sad and cold, and wanted to come forward to persuade her, but was quietly stopped by the divine doctor.
"Third brother, what's wrong with this girl standing here all day long? Her body had just recovered and she couldn't get sick anymore. Changsheng pulled the divine doctor and said anxiously.
The divine doctor looked at the painting, shook his head and sighed: "She has endured too much, let her be quiet." At this time, she couldn't listen to anyone's words. But......" He suddenly thought of something, and hesitated.
Changsheng hurriedly asked, "Is there a way for the third brother?" β
"Maybe there's one person who she'll listen to." The Divine Doctor pondered.
"Oh? Who is it? β
"Xiao Minglang."
Changsheng was not in Taoyuan all the year round, and he didn't know the relationship between Xiao Minglang and Huayan, so he asked puzzledly: "Who is he?" How could Yan'er listen to him? β
The divine doctor once heard that Xiao Minglang was alone with a knife to threaten the emperor and queen mother in order to rescue Huayan, so he deduced that the relationship between Xiao Minglang and Huayan was unusual. He hugged his sleeves and smiled mysteriously: "The fifth brother has been traveling with me for all these years, why do you still know nothing about human affairs?" Well, now is not the time to talk about this. He paused for a moment, glanced back at the painting, turned around and still leaned next to Changsheng and said, "Fifth brother, you hurry up and go down the mountain to find Xiao Minglang." β
"Where can I find this vast sea of people?" Changsheng asked.
"In the battle of Qingshan Pavilion, the news of the resurrection of Yan has long been known in the rivers and lakes, and Xiao Minglang must have heard about it, so he will inevitably go there to find Yan'er. You can look around that week. By the way, I heard that there is another girl who is with Huayan, and I think it is Shenglan, so you will bring her with you. β
Changsheng carefully wrote down the words of the divine doctor, did not dare to delay for a moment, turned around and went into the room to get the weapon, and rode on his horse and ran down the mountain.
On that day, as soon as the divine doctor and the others left, Shenglan chased after them. I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw soldiers all over the ground falling all around. She searched for her young lady everywhere, but found nothing, but accidentally found King Luling, who was half-immersed in the Mengzhen River.
In desperation, she had no choice but to take King Luling back to the palace first, and when he was sober, she asked him about the whereabouts of the young lady.
Sheng Lan was anxious to stay outside Liu Yizhen's door, and when she saw Liu Yizhen waking up, she hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang?" Rajah? Do you know where the young lady has gone? β
Sheng Lan asked without any scruples.
Liu Yizhen groped his body incredibly, he couldn't believe that he had retreated from the 50,000 enemy troops unscathed, he suddenly remembered something, sat up from the bed, and shouted: "Someone! Come on! β
A group of guards rushed into King Luling's bedroom, "The subordinates are here!" β
"Close the gates now! No one is allowed to enter or leave! There are them outside the city! ...... Enemy! ......" Liu Yizhen said excitedly and loudly.
"Yes!" The guards were ordered to retreat.
Sheng Lan asked in surprise, "Enemy troops?!" Whose people are they? β
"Yes...... Dark! Liu Yizhen panted and shhhh
"Not good!" Sheng Lan was blown up by this news, and she hurriedly asked, "Miss!" Where's my young lady! β
Liu Yizhen was slightly stunned, his eyes dodged, and he shook his head and said painfully: "This king doesn't know...... I don't know! β
"Isn't Miss with the prince? How could the prince not know?! Sheng Lan excitedly grabbed Liu Yizhen's shoulder and asked sternly.
Liu Yizhen quickly withdrew, hid on the other side of the bed, shook his head and said, "This king doesn't know!" Ben Wang really doesn't know! Don't ask this king anymore......"
Now Liu Yizhen has not only offended the court, but also offended Huayan, at this time he is like a frightened bird, and he can't live in fear.
I can't imagine that a dignified prince was scared like this by the enemy! Everything that came before was just a faΓ§ade.
It seems that although the young lady was ambushed by the enemy, she did not let them succeed. I've got to go back soon! Thinking of this, Sheng Lan looked at Liu Yizhen one last time with a look of disdain, lifted the long sword, and was about to leave the mansion, but met Xiao Minglang and Limu outside the mansion.
"Young Master Xiao! Off the wood! You're finally here! Sheng Lan said excitedly.
Xiao Minglang saw that it was Shenglan, so he put his mind at ease, thinking that the painting must be in the Luling Palace.
"Sister Lan, I finally saw you, I almost missed it again! Fortunately, we met Wang Ye's people on the way to Qingshan Pavilion, and then we learned that you and Sister Yan were in Luling County! Limu came forward and said happily.
"What about Yan'er? She, how's that? Xiao Minglang couldn't wait to ask.
Sheng Lan grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly asked for help: "Young Master Xiao, you quickly think of a way!" Miss is gone! β
Xiao Minglang's heart sank, "What?!" What happened?! You take your time! β
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's get out of here first!" Sheng Lan glanced back vigilantly to make sure that there was no movement in the palace, so he led Xiao Minglang and Limu to the direction outside the city.
Along the way, Shenglan told him everything that happened before and after.
After Xiao Minglang listened, he stopped. "Maybe Yan'er hasn't gone far, and is still in that wood!"
Limu agreed: "Yes, Sister Yan, she will definitely not leave Shenglan alone in the palace, so she will not go far!" β
"But Miss can't see it, will something happen to her alone?" Sheng Lan said anxiously.
"According to what you say, probably not. If Yan'er was captured by the Queen Mother's people, they should have retreated long ago, otherwise the people in Taoyuan would soon find out about their move. Xiao Minglang lowered his head and pondered for a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and said, "Whether it is or not, let them come back again!" β
He suddenly had a new plan, and lowered his head to discuss it quietly with Limu and Shenglan.
The soldiers on the city tower were waiting for them, and the city gates were all closed, and the air was faintly filled with the smell of gunsmoke. The news of 50,000 soldiers coming to the city soon spread throughout the streets and alleys. And the people shut themselves up because of fear. There are only one or two inns, which are still open.
Xiao Minglang and the others couldn't go out of the city gate at all, so in desperation, they had to go to an inn by the city gate to watch the news.
The three of them came to the second floor of the inn and sat down by the window, staring at everything around the city gate.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left Miss's side!" Shenglan bowed his head and blamed himself.
"You can't blame Sister Lan for this, those bad things are all done by those people!" Limu said angrily.
It's a step too late!
Xiao Minglang's brows tightened, and the clenched teacup in his hand seemed to be about to burst immediately. "As long as the hour passes, there will be a group of soldiers on the city tower to hand over, and then we will take the opportunity to rush out of the city, no matter how many people the Queen Mother has, I will let them not leave a piece of armor!"
"Young people, be patient. Isn't it a fantasy that one person is worth 50,000 people?! β
Behind Xiao Minglang, a man's voice came.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword and cautiously turned to look back. "Who are you?"
I saw a man in a cloak and a hat on his head turn around and slowly walk towards them from the window of the cafΓ© on the other side.
He came to the table of Xiao Minglang and the others, gently took off the hat that was lowered, looked at Xiao Minglang carefully with a pair of bright eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Finally let me find you!" β
Xiao Minglang was puzzled: "Who are you?" β
Limu suddenly jumped up excitedly and said happily, "Uncle Changsheng?!" β
Changsheng glanced back at Limu and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Minglang asked incredulously, "Are you ...... People from Taoyuan? He lowered his voice to the last few words.
Sheng Lan stood up excitedly and replied, "He is not only from Taoyuan, he is also Miss's fifth master!" You're finally back! β
"Are you two afraid that others won't know what we're talking about?" Changsheng looked at him with a slightly reproachful look, and then smiled and asked them to sit down.
Changsheng saw that Xiao Minglang had a lot of things to ask him, but the time and environment did not allow him to explain them one by one, so he only said to Xiao Minglang: "Don't worry, Yan'er is fine." I came this time to find you, and as soon as the time comes, I will immediately evacuate Luling County. Everything, wait until you return to Taoyuan, and then think about it in the long run. β
Knowing that the painting was fine, Xiao Minglang was relieved. He was secretly amazed that the person in front of him, facing the embattled situation, could still be so calm! said that he was worried that others would leak the news, but he was not afraid of his every move. If he didn't have enough self-confidence, how could he dare to shuttle between the 50,000 army? In this way, another unusual character!
