(19) Bad news
The rest of the journey was much calmer, and I sat in the carriage, playing with the embroidered bag in my hand, which had nothing to eat, and was empty, just like my heart now.
Zhao Zilong didn't say anything again, he hurried away, he has been weird since I changed into this dress, he didn't want to say, and I didn't ask very consciously. A person was bored in the car, and suddenly remembered the dark compartment under the saddle, I became a little curious, got up and put the embroidered bag in my arms, I knelt on the ground, and carefully opened the secret compartment door.
The carriage was a little dark, I raised my hand and slightly lifted the curtain on the window to shade the sun, the warm spring wind carried a trace of sunlight into the carriage, I saw clearly the utensils in the dark compartment, it was three weapons. One of them is the *Silver Arrow that I mortgaged, and the other two are behemoths in comparison. One is a silver gun, the silver body of the gun, which is engraved with the word "reverse scale", the head of the gun is slightly glowing with cold light, and you can know the extraordinary thing at a glance. It's just that at this time, my eyes were involuntarily attracted by another weapon. It was a relatively strange weapon, extremely large, like a spear and a spear, with two blades, and a complex pattern carved on it, which looked very gorgeous, although gorgeous, but not domineering. I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the strange weapon, and a cold breath slowly snaked along my fingertips, trying to lift it with my hand, but not moving...... It's so heavy!
I was caught by this strange weapon, not just because of its magnificence and domineering, but because I felt a little familiar. After thinking about it, I suddenly knew why I felt that it was familiar, because it looked very similar to the weapon of the actor Lu Bu in the play I played before, Fang Tian's halberd!
The director's reputation comes from his serious dedication to the play, so the relatively important props in the play are specially created with a lot of money. At that time, the gorgeous and domineering shape also shocked everyone, but at this time, it seemed that the Fang Tian Painting Halberd was just in its shape, and it could not be compared with the weapon in front of him at all.
But what is speechless is that the two weapons, which at first glance are not mortal, are covered with dust...... What a terrible thing...... In comparison, it was my *silver arrow that sparkled the most......
Satisfying my curiosity, I closed the secret compartment and sat down again.
It was getting dark, and the carriage stopped as the last rays of sunlight sank into the horizon.
"Get out of the car." Zhao Zilong's voice came from outside the car.
I answered, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
When I stood still and looked up, I found that there was a wilderness in front of me, and there was no one in all directions, only a small inn in front of me stood alone in the night, and there were two old lanterns hanging in front of the door, which looked a little dilapidated.
"Here?" I'm a little confused.
"It's getting late, there's a battle ahead, it's not too peaceful, let's hurry tomorrow." As he spoke, he paused, and said, "Within a radius of more than ten miles, there is only this one inn." ”
I nodded, watched as he settled the carriage, and followed him into the inn.
It was very quiet in the inn, except for a young man sitting at the counter napping, and no one else.
Zhao Zilong reached out and took a string of money from his arms and threw it on the counter, and the guy immediately woke up: "The guest officer is sharp, or is he staying in the hotel?" After receiving the money, the fellow smiled toothlessly, and it was clear that business was not very good in this desolate place.
"Stay in the hotel." Zhao Zilong said.
"Okay, there's just one room left." The fellow nodded like garlic.
"One left?" I can't help but secretly wonder how this inn is so remote, and there are many battles ahead......
"Yes, the two talented women look like they are really a natural pair, there is no problem with living in one, the business of the small shop was not very prosperous, but God has mercy, there have been two groups of guests today." The guy laughed, then looked at me, and when he saw my face, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't even move his eyes.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and I didn't care about the guy's somewhat rude direct gaze, I only thought in my heart, such a desolate inn suddenly lived in so many people, maybe the bell was there.
"Where do we live?" Zhao Zilong interrupted the guy's rude gaze with some impatience and said.
"Yes, yes, please come with me." The guy hurriedly walked in front, led us to the room on the left, and pushed the door open to let us in.
"Although our inn is dilapidated, it was also prosperous in the past few years, this room is built of fine wood, no matter how loud the sound in the house is, you can't hear it outside, please rest assured." The guy said mysteriously.
I can't turn a little bit, loud? What can I do in the house? Then I looked at the guy's look of "I know everything", and I couldn't help but have a black line, this folk style...... It's really open......
Zhao Zilong's fair face was faintly stained with a hint of red, and he frowned and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, prepare some steamed buns and beef, prepare some tea outside, and send them to the room." ”
The guy hurriedly answered, turned around and went to prepare: "What's the matter today, could it be that the gods in the sky have come down to patronize my small shop...... Tsk, what is Tianzi and the country, I finally saw it today, it's really ...... and the Lang Jun beside him, I thought that the uncle was handsome enough, but I didn't expect there to be such a good-looking man...... "I just listened to him muttering as he walked, until he walked out of the distance, and he could faintly hear his chattering voice.
I curled my lips and couldn't help but want to laugh, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, I froze......
Faintly, the sound of a silver chain tapping didn't reach my ears, and I couldn't help but shudder a little, and when I listened closely, there was no sound. It should be that I heard it wrong, he should now go to Luoyang to help the Empress Dowager Dong fight for the crown prince, how could he appear in this remote inn.
"Don't mind, man, if you find it inconvenient, I'll rest outside the door." Seeing that my face was pale, Zhao Zilong thought that he would be wrong about me, and said.
I came back to my senses, my heart was a little calmer, and I didn't feel like I bent my lips and smiled: "How dare you work Zhao Gongzi to guard the door, I'm afraid I won't have to pay again." ”
Zhao Zilong was slightly stunned, and then said with some sneer: "If I don't charge you money, the reputation of the girl's family should be cherished." ”
I couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, Childe has learned a lesson, but now things are in a hurry, Xiaoniang believes that Childe is a person, and it's a big deal to wronged Childe." ”
"Flooring?" Zhao Zilong was a little confused.
I smiled, took advantage of the guy's future, turned around and split the bedding on the bed in two, and then pointed to the ground.
Zhao Zilong realized: "You are different from her." Glancing at me, he suddenly whispered.
I was slightly stunned, she? Which one of her?
Is it Wan'er in his mouth?
As he spoke, the man had already brought dinner.
The guy was slowly arranging the food while peeking at me, and it wasn't until Zhao Zilong opened his mouth impatiently to drive people away that he closed the door and left.
He poured a cup of tea and put it in front of me: "Eat." As he spoke, he took the steamed bun and lowered his head to eat.
I remembered the situation of the inn in my heart, and I was thinking about Dong Zhuo's affairs, and I didn't know what to eat.
"Eat with peace of mind, sleep well, with me, no one can hurt you." After putting a piece of beef in the import, he opened his mouth lightly, glanced at the table absently, and said, "Since I have taken your honorarium, I will naturally complete the things you have entrusted me." ”
I followed his gaze to the edge of the table, and there was a silver spear with the word "reverse scale" engraved on it, wasn't it the silver spear I saw in the dark grid? It turned out to be his weapon.
It's just that he has always claimed to be a businessman, and the weapon is placed in the dark compartment, which has been covered with dust, and it is clear that it is not commonly used for sealing.
From this point of view, this Zhao Gongzi is really authentic in business......
After dinner, Zhao Zilong ordered the guy to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and then spread the bedding on the ground next to the door, then lifted the scales and sat down cross-legged, picked up a piece of cloth and wiped it seriously.
I rinsed my mouth briefly and washed my face again, but my heart was full of trouble, I wonder if Lu Bu arrived in time? I wonder if Dong Zhuo is safe and sound? And Jedi and Bell, I've never been more afraid to see them than I am now.
With a "bang", I came back to my senses and saw Zhao Zilong and his clothes lying on their sides with their backs facing me and resting.
The silver spear called the Reverse Scale was placed at his side, and it had been polished to a shiny finish, and it looked like it was sharp.
"Sleep in peace, I'm here." With his back to me, his voice sounded coldly.
I was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Thank you." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, I went to the bedside, laid down the tent and my clothes, and lay down, I needed a good rest before I had the strength to deal with what was to come.
Thinking so, I finally closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
I was awakened by a seductive scent, and when the familiar scent wafted into my nose, I was startled and opened my eyes.
It was already dawn, Zhao Zilong was not in the house, I got out of bed in a panic, put on my shoes and pushed the door out of the room.
"The guest officer is awake?" The lobby was very bright, and the guy was looking through the ledger energetically, and when he saw me coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet me.
Seeing that his eyes were looking at me without blinking, I frowned slightly: "What about my father-in-law?" Without much thought, I spoke.
"Oh, he's feeding the horses outside the house." The guy said with a smile.
As soon as my heart was relieved, I was going out to look for him. Suddenly, an even stronger scent wafted from behind me, and I froze slightly.
It's a familiar taste, it's a mille-feuille cake that Jue Xianchen used to make, and it turned out that it wasn't a dream just now.
As I froze, a somewhat shoddy plate was handed to me, and although the plate was shoddy, the pastry on the plate was exceptionally delicate.
Millefeuille!
I didn't see the joy of food, and my eyes widened as if I were hell.
Behind "Jingle ......", the sound of silver chains striking softly. I don't have the courage to turn around and face the reality, shouldn't I go to Luoyang at this time? Why is it in this Wilderness Inn?
was hesitating, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Zilong walking into the house with reverse scales.
"Xianggong." With a gentle cry, I hurried forward and buried my head in his arms, never daring to look back.
Zhao Zilong's body stiffened slightly, and then he seemed to understand, and gently put one hand on my shoulder: "What's wrong, Wan'er?" ”
"Get out of this shop quickly, Wan'er is scared." Following his tone, I deliberately shuddered.
Zhao Zilong glanced down at me, nodded, and hugged me out the door.
"Xiaoxiao, I got up early in the morning and made your favorite mille-feuille cake, don't you want to taste it?" Behind him, a voice sounded gently, and sure enough, it was him!
At that moment, I almost had the illusion that nothing had happened yet, that he was still the chef of Mochizuki Tower, and I was still the same greedy smile, and he was standing behind me and smiling gently at me, holding the mille-feuille that had been carefully made for me in his hand.
But......
What was once good has now become a nightmare.
Without looking back, I didn't even pause, I lowered my head and leaned on Zhao Zilong's arms, playing the role of Wan'er.
The embroidered blood-colored plum blossom skirt, the waist-length green silk, at this time, I am Zhao Zilong's Wan'er, not the smile in Xianchen's eyes.
"If you don't want to eat it, I'll put it in an embroidered bag for you to take and eat slowly on the way back to Luoyang." The voice of the absolute dust sounded again, not alarmed, still gentle as water.
I was slightly startled, reached out and probed into my sleeve, cold sweat soaked my clothes all of a sudden, and the embroidered bag was gone! When did he take it?!
"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Zhao Zilong glanced down at me and held my somewhat cold hand.
I came back to my senses and shook my head: "It's okay." ”
"It's so naughty, I thought I didn't know if you were smiling after changing my clothes?" Jue Xianchen's voice sounded faintly, and then he sighed softly, "Don't make trouble, follow me back to Luoyang." ”
A conniving and helpless tone, as if I was really a willful girl who ran away from marriage.
"I think you've mistaken someone." Zhao Zilong frowned slightly, turned around to look at Jue Xianchen, shook the reverse scales in his hand, and said coldly, hugging me and leaving.
I lowered my eyebrows and listened to my eyes, but I didn't hear anything behind my ears, and continued to hide in Zhao Zilong's arms as an ostrich.
"Dong Zhuo is dead."
As soon as I stepped out of the threshold, the voice of the Absolute Dust rose coldly behind me.
I was stunned and slowly turned around: "What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”
"Hehe, it's really a smile." As soon as he saw me, he stroked his palm and chuckled.
"What did you just say?" Looking at him steadily, I spoke again.
"What a jealousy, if one day I die, will you be so sad?" Squinting his eyes, he smiled.
"What did you just say?!" I looked at him viciously, my voice sharpening.
"It's so fierce, I said Dong Zhuo is dead." Shrugging his shoulders, he said lightly.
My heart pounded, and my mind went blank.
A hand gently patted my shoulder, it was Zhao Zilong.
I came to my senses and slowly shook my head: "You lie, I don't believe it." ”
As if he didn't mind my words, Jue Xianchen smiled and raised his hand slightly, allowing me to see what was in his hand.
My mind went blank for a moment, and I was holding the ...... in my hand It's a phone I've been looking for for fifteen years!
"You...... Where did you get this? With a clenched fist, I suppressed the panic in my heart and feigned composure to speak.
"Dong Zhuo's arms." Jue Xianchen pursed his lips and said, "He pierced his heart with ten thousand arrows, and his whole body, there was only such a complete thing, and I took it." He smiled lightly, as if stating something worthy of joy and pride.
There is only one thing on the whole body...... Something intact? Moving my lips, I thought I was going to cry, but I didn't expect that I couldn't.
What about no tears, why?
"Give it back to me." Walking up to Jue Xianchen, I stretched out my hand.
"Don't you cry?" Jue Xianchen raised his hand and put the phone in my hand, stroked my face, and said with a concerned expression.
Pursing my lips, I ignored him, just looked down at my phone, I had been looking for something for fifteen years, and now, it is in my hand.
It may be my only hope of going back.
But now I don't seem to recognize it.
"Where is he?" Lower, I spoke, my voice a little hoarse.
"Don't keep asking me about him, I'll be sad." Slender fingers gently stroked my hair, and Jue Xianchen said softly.
"Where is he?!" I jerked my head up and glared at him.
"Who knows, maybe it's buried, maybe it's burned by a fire, and someone will always clean up the battlefield......" Jie Xianchen said a little casually, and added, "This dress is not suitable for you, I still like your original appearance." ”
There was a buzzing in my ears, and I actually laughed.
Smile, I'm laughing, Zhong Ying's smile! Of course I have to laugh, I can't cry when I sing a long song. When my heart came to him, did I get the news that he had ten thousand arrows piercing his heart? Staring at the phone in my hand, I chuckled.
"Stop laughing." Zhao Zilong's voice came.
I glanced back at him and saw a glimmer of pity in his eyes.
Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't cry, I was laughing, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you the honorarium." "Lips curled, my voice was horribly hoarse.
Zhao Zilong frowned: "If you want to cry, cry, don't be like this." ”
I was slightly stunned, and then grinned a little pale lips: "The name of Xiaoxiao was taken by Zhong Ying, he likes to see me laugh, and he can't cry." ”
"What a good girl." Jue Xianchen reached out and sent a piece of mille-feuille crisp into my mouth.
I unconsciously opened my mouth and swallowed, only to feel the pain in my throat as dry as fire.
Before the mille-feuille had even entered my stomach, I couldn't help but lower my head and retch. Only then did he change color slightly, and he reached out and gently stroked my back, and he didn't dodge, letting me vomit all over his body.
I just retched, emptying my stomach, as if I had also emptied my heart.
