Chapter 25: Liu Taoran
This sentence is like a small pebble, thrown into the lake in Dongxue's heart, striking a circle of ripples, and finally disappearing. His lips moved, and Chunfeng felt that his voice was drifting far away, and asked, "You...... Married? ”
"Yes," looking at Liu Taoran lovingly, Xu Shaoqing said, "She is also the reason why I stay away from officialdom." ”
"You gave up your official position for her?"
Speaking of this, Liu Taoran seemed to be a little sad, and said: "Actually, I am also the daughter of a big family, but I was affected by family strife, and I was married to a nobleman, but I was a complete shameless." At that time, I was already in love with Shaoqing, and after he found out about it, he found the man and tried his best to save me from the fire pit. Although I was lucky to get out of the fire, Shaoqing began to be excluded everywhere because he offended that family, and in his last anger, he took me back to his hometown and lived in seclusion again. Speaking of which, I'm still ashamed of him. Liu Taoran said, her eyes slowly turning red.
Seeing the appearance of his beloved wife, Xu Shaoqing couldn't help but feel distressed, and coaxed softly: "Fool, what is there to be ashamed of me." Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life! At that time, the officialdom was in a miasma, and there was nothing to do if I stayed, so it would be better to join hands with you and live the life of a couple? Are you not happy now? ”
Looking at Xu Shaoqing's gentle and sincere appearance, Dongxue was a little incredulous, secretly thinking that this is the Xu Shaoqing who is full of ambition and wants to break out of the world in the court? How high-spirited he was back then, and even abandoned himself for his dream. Now, he actually gave up all his previous efforts for the sake of another woman, so what is he in his heart? Is it just a pawn in exchange for profit? If that's the case, then Dongxue should teach this person a good lesson when he comes back today, so that he can pay the price for what he did back then. But what is he sorry for himself? Everything he has now is the result of the decisions he made back then, and in this way, his abandonment has made him.
Holding her hand, Dongxue seemed a little confused, looked up at Xu Shaoqing, and asked, "Do you envy my current life?" Can you serve the mother, can you shine the lintel? ”
"Your life is indeed fascinating, but I have found the life and people that suit me best, and I am here to stay."
It turns out that this is the answer that Dongxue wants......
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and Dongxue thought, in the end, it was just that he was not so important in his heart, so he could say that he would abandon it. If this incident happened again today, I would definitely not care so much, and I would even feel that my encounter with my master was an excellent opportunity to change my fate. But the young Dongxue cared too much about Xu Shaoqing, and felt that leaving him was the end of the world, and no matter how good his life was, there was no color difference, but Xu Shaoqing was like himself today, and he enjoyed the changes brought by the opportunity. In this way, I am the one who loses completely. Whether it was then or now.
Looking at the pair of beautiful people in front of her, Dongxue only felt that she was very sad, inexplicably sad. She didn't know if it was the right time to come today. Seeing that the spring breeze found happiness that day, she suddenly thought of the person who lived in her heart, and stubbornly thought that she must come to see him and let him know that he was doing well, but she never thought about where she would go to find him if he didn't live here. Although I saw it today, this is not the ending I wanted. But even if you don't want to, you can't change anything, so you can only pretend to be free and easy, and say: "Anyway, you are also my savior, and I am happy for you to see you get a beautiful favor." I don't know if you marry a wife, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything, so I will give you this jade jade pendant given to me by the queen's mother! With that, Dong Xue took a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Liu Taoran.
"It's too expensive for us to accept." Liu Taoran felt that she couldn't go in her heart, so she excused herself.
But Xu Shaoqing held her hand and said, "This is Dongxue's intention, let's accept it." As he spoke, he looked at Dong Xue's gaze, which contained a clear meaning, as if he understood the purpose of Dong Xue's move, and knew that she wanted to completely cut off relations with herself.
The corners of her mouth were mockingly hooked, and Dong Xue said: "This is the Xu Shaoqing I know, you always know what you want." ”
"But you're the one who knows me best." Xu Shaoqing did not deny Dongxue's words, and even acquiesced to Dongxue's unique position in his life to some extent.
I have to say that this guy's method of wanting to capture and indulge in the past is really perfect, if other little girls with rippling hearts hear this, they will definitely ignite a small flame of hope, and let Xu Shaoqing go, and he will not give up. But Dongxue is now sober, and years of experience have made her no longer the innocent child she was back then, and now she also knows that looking at character and heart, not just judging a person from those vain words on the surface.
Her lips moved, and Dong Xue just wanted to say something mockingly, but she heard someone outside shouting: "The horse thief is coming, run for your life!" ”
"The horse thief is coming!?" Liu Taoran's expression changed greatly, and she looked at Xu Shaoqing and said in horror, "Shaoqing, let's escape to the mountain, we must not let them catch us!" ”
"When did this Lin County get out of the horse thief?" In the chaos, Dongxue not only did not move, but raised his arms and asked with a frown.
"They are from the black tile village, and they have only risen in the last three years. It turned out to be a bandit who did all kinds of evil, but after changing the owner of the village, he only grabbed some money. However, there are many people in Lin County, and they can't find any oil and water, and they are just passing by these times, just to cheer up their majesty. "As indifferent as Dongxue, there is also Xu Shaoqing, looking at the crowd scurrying outside, please say slowly.
Seeing that the two of them were standing here chatting as if they were nothing, Liu Taoran couldn't help but hurriedly say: "There are some words, let's talk about them when the situation is safe, it's important to run for your life now!" ”
"It's just some bandits, and you still need to run for your life?" Dong Xue sneered, pulled out the long sword she was wearing, and Ling Ran said, "It just so happens that I still want to find someone to be angry, and now I have to catch up, how can I easily miss such a good thing?" ”
Dong Xue's words made Liu Taoran feel inexplicable, but before she could stop it, she saw Dong Xue's figure floating out like a gust of wind.
Standing under the tree back then, Winter Snow's murderous aura rose sharply, secretly thinking that these bastards would dare to fight Lin County's idea, and they would definitely kill these people without leaving a piece of armor!
It didn't take long for a moment to see a cloud of dust rising in front of me, accompanied by a whistling sound that was getting closer and closer, like a pack of wolves, which made people shudder.
Zhao Qinhai passed by from Linxian with his brothers today, it was really because something happened in the village, he was eager to return to the village, and passing through Linxian would greatly shorten the trip and return to the cottage earlier. When those people heard that it was the people of Heiwa Village, they naturally hid home and did not dare to come out, so Zhao Qinhai and others rode their horses and drove on the trail like a wind storm. It's just that when he walked by here today, Zhao Qinhai always felt that something was not right, and his whole body was cold, and he seemed to have an ominous premonition.
Leaning down slightly, Zhao Qinhai clamped the horse's belly between his legs, intending to rush over with all his strength, and at the same time, his whole body was on guard, and his slender eyes were cold.
But when he turned a street, Zhao Qinhai found a woman standing in the middle of the street, holding a long sword, with a murderous face. The woman's face is beautiful, but her eyes are like a cheetah staring at its prey, fierce and tyrannical, which makes people shudder. Pulling the reins of the horse tightly, Zhao Qinhai looked at the woman opposite, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted in a cold voice: "The people of Heiwa Village are here, don't get out of the way quickly!" ”
The corners of Dong Xue's mouth hooked condensedly, and then said disdainfully: "If you want me to get out of the way, it depends on whether you have the ability to do this!" After speaking, Dong Xue raised his sword and jumped lightly, stabbing straight at Zhao Qinhai.
As soon as the other party moved, Zhao Qinhai knew that he was going to make a big mistake today, looking at this woman's light skills and moves, he was afraid that his martial arts cultivation was far above him. Sideways to avoid this sharp style, Zhao Qinhai turned over and dismounted, but the woman's second move was already in front of him, making Zhao Qinhai tired of coping. Seeing that Zhao Qinhai was trapped, the younger brothers behind him hurriedly ran to support and decided to vent their anger for the master of Sanzhai.
But they all underestimated how much lethality Dong Xue possessed under the anger, and in less than a quarter of an hour, except for Zhao Qinhai, who was still struggling to support, everyone else fell to the ground, covering their injuries and shouting.
Taking advantage of the kung fu of the winter snow long sword, Zhao Qinhai roared: "What kind of enmity does the girl have with the black tile village, and she wants to kill them all like this?" ”
"Hmph, you people have done all the things of burning, killing and looting, and everyone will be punished, this is revenge!" Although this reason is full of a sense of justice, setting off Dongxue like a heroine full of justice, but in her heart, she regards Zhao Qinhai as the man who makes her helpless, and finally finds an excuse to vent all her past grievances.
When Zhao Qinhai heard this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Thinking back then, he Zhao Qinhai was also a generation of heroes with unparalleled scenery, in this vast land, his name was also well-known, since he followed the big boss, he was willing to put away his claws and be a good citizen, but he didn't expect to be wiped out by a girl today, which is really a nest! Especially when there are so many brothers in the village behind him, there are many people, and when this matter reaches the ears of Sun Ping's kid, he will laugh at himself. No, even if you give up this old life today, you have to defeat this girl!
