Chapter 29: Once Upon a Time in Peach Blossom Valley (1)
"Xitang is busy with affairs, and he can't get out of the shallow foam. And this son didn't want to meet the second prince, otherwise he wouldn't delay the time to compete with that woman. Murong Ze said angrily. And the woman refers to Jiang Yiyi, in fact, everyone has come here to attend the birthday banquet today, and there is no business.
Murong Ze here was unhappy with Yuwen Han's words and deeds, and Yuwen Tuo over there was even more annoyed when he heard the conversation between the two, but he also grew up in the royal family, and Yuwen Tuo quickly adjusted his mentality. "I didn't expect the second brother to know the Lu Pavilion Master, now it's okay, the brother also wants to know the Lu Pavilion Master, and the second brother can just help introduce him."
"Oh, I met Qianmo completely by accident, I don't know why the imperial brother wants to befriend Qianmo?" Yu Wenhan asked with great interest.
"The lord of the Lu Pavilion is a heroine among women, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows, just ask how many people in this world don't want to have a relationship with him." Yuwen Tuo replied naturally, and then looked at Murong Ze and said: "Today, I specially invited Murong Gongzi with the intention of this, I wonder if Murong Gongzi's letter was sent to the Western Tang Dynasty?" ”
Finally came, "sent." ”
"This prince is looking forward to meeting with the Lu Pavilion Master." Yuwentuo is very confident.
Murong Ze raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the eldest prince is confident. But..."
"But what?" Yuwen Tuo asked.
"When my letter arrived, Qianmo set off from Xitang again, and nearly two months passed. Isn't the eldest prince worried that Murong will be the first to learn about this from others? If things deteriorate, wouldn't the great prince lose more than he gained. ”
"This~" Yuwen Tuo is naturally worried that it will be worthless if the news is leaked or discovered by others, but if he wants to give the news like this, how can he be willing. "Real gold is not afraid of fire."
"Brother Huang, Brother Huang really wants to know if you have any news worth visiting the Northern Desert in person?" Yuwen Han was curious, could it be that Qianmo came to Shifang City this time because of Yuwen Tuo? Listening to what they said, Yuwen Tuo didn't know that Qianmo was already in Shifang City, and Murong Ze seemed to be dragging time with him.
Yuwen Tuo ignored it, but waited for Murong Ze's answer.
"Heh~ This is the case, this son will not say much, I wish the eldest prince good luck." Murong Ze said with a long voice.
Yuwen Tuo was a little worried when he heard this, and this was not the time for a showdown.
And Yuwen's cold eyes dimmed, what did Qianmo want to get from Yuwentuo?
Murong Ze continued to shake the folding fan with a smile, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes glanced slightly at Lu Qianmo's location, but the shadow was no longer there.
Lu Qianmo sneaked into Yuxiao Courtyard again, the maid who had just fed Yang Xiao medicine was staying in the room at this time, and Lu Qianmo quietly approached the maid's sleeping hole. Looking around, the room was very neat and clean, and there was no indication that the pavilion masters of the two major organizations of the Xia Chuan Continent had fought here. The room should be cleaned up by Bai Mo, if this maidservant found out, it shouldn't be so peaceful here at this moment.
Lu Qianmo quickly approached Yang Xiao and gave Yang Xiao a pulse. Yang Xiao's situation is similar to what the maidservant said, she was drugged and fell asleep, but her life was not in danger. Lu Qianmo took out a pill from his arms and fed it to Yang Xiao, and then held the other party's palm to transport his internal force into it, accelerating the absorption of the antidote.
After a while, Yang Xiao's limbs moved, and he opened his eyes at the same time.
"Wake up." Lu Qianmo smiled at Yang Xiao. Hao's poison medicine really worked.
cough cough ~ cough cough ~
Seeing this, Lu Qianmo poured a glass of water for the other party, "Mrs. Gu, take a sip of tea first." ”
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Yang Xiao was slightly startled, stared at the stranger in front of her with wide eyes, and struggled to get up. I saw a woman covering her face with a scarf holding a teacup in her hand, although the woman's face was covered, but the pair of dark and bright eyes were extremely attractive, and her maid Baicao was crawling on the table at the moment.
Lu Qianmo stretched out her hand to stop Yang Xiao's movements, and her thin lips opened lightly, "She's just asleep." And handed the teacup in his hand to Yang Xiao, "Mrs. Gu is thirsty, let's drink this cup of tea first, your poison has just been cured, it is better to lie down and rest." ”
Hearing that Baicao was just asleep, Yang Xiao was a little relieved. Although she has been poisoned and has not woken up in the past few days, she knows everything she has said from the outside world. Looking at the woman in front of him, although the other party covered his face, he could indeed see that the other party was only eighteen years old, beautiful and steady, but this stability should not be the temperament that should be at this age.
"Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been in bed for more than a month." Yang Xiao took the tea in Lu Qianmo's hand and asked, "I don't know why the girl is like this?" ”
Lu Qianmo frowned, how did she know. "How do you know so well?"
Facing her benefactor, Yang Xiao was grateful to her, and her intuition told her that the woman in front of her would not hurt her, so she relaxed her guard. "Although I couldn't wake up, I could hear everything the outside world was saying. It's just that today I seem to have slept very deeply, and I don't have any impression. ”
I see. Regarding Yang Xiao's inability to hear the outside world today, Lu Qianmo suspected that it had something to do with Bai Mo.
"I wonder why the girl wants to save me?" Yang Xiao asked again.
Lu Qianmo smiled and said: "If I say that I am a beautiful fairy who admires Mrs. Gu, and I seem to have come with a beautiful appearance that does not eat fireworks, but I didn't expect Mrs. to be poisoned and fall into a deep sleep, I can't bear to see the beauty suffer and save you, are you credible?" ”
Yang Xiao shook her head and chuckled, "I don't believe it." ”
"I don't believe it either, but Madame Gu does live up to her reputation." Lu Qianmo praised sincerely. "Actually, I came here today to ask Madame for some news."
Yang Xiao accepted Lu Qianmo's praise calmly, but she was not arrogant. "I'm just a woman, I'm afraid I don't have the news that the girl wants."
"How can you know if you don't try?" Lu Qianmo turned to say, "I wonder if Madame is familiar with the name Yang Yan?" ”
As soon as she heard these two words, Yang Xiao was very shocked and excited. His voice trembled slightly, "Huohuo? ”
"Huohuo?"
Because he hadn't heard Huohuo's name from outsiders for too many years, Yang Xiao was excited in her heart, so she blurted out, and when she heard the other party say the word Huohuo, she realized that she had lost her words. looked at each other again, and saw that the woman's dark eyes were surprised and excited, no less than herself.
"Ma'am." The woman spoke again to learn more, but her voice was slightly hoarse.
Yang Xiao was pulled back to her senses by the voice of the call and sighed deeply. Reason told her that the name Yang Yan was very ordinary, maybe it was just the same name, but there was also a voice in her heart that said that they were talking about the same person, and this person was Huohuo. And from this woman's eyes, you can see the importance of fire to her. "I wonder why the girl wants to find out about the fire?"
Lu Qianmo forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "I can't hide it, Yang Yan saved my life five years ago, but unfortunately we were separated later." At that time, he was the only relative I had in this world, and I looked for him for five years. ”
Yang Xiao's heart chuckled, there has been no news for five years, will it be... Will it be...
Lu Qianmo saw Yang Xiao's worries and said firmly: "He'll be fine, definitely not." ”
Originally, Yang Xiao could bear it, but when she heard the other party's firm voice, tears flowed uncontrollably. After a while, Yang Xiao gently brushed away the tears on her face, "Huohuo Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine." ”
"Ma'am, I need more information from you so I can find him faster." Lu Qianmo said his purpose.
"But I don't even know who you are, how can I trust you."
"I can't tell you who I am for the time being, and that's for your good. But I think Madame should be able to see that I am not lying, and I have no reason to lie. ”
People can lie, but some feelings can't be disguised, just now this woman heard me say that the excitement, worry and hope are not disguised, and it is nothing to tell her about the past. Yang Xiao's gaze slowly moved to the only painting in the room, as if she wanted to return to the distant past through painting.
"My hometown is in Peach Blossom Valley, just outside the city of West Tangfeng, and my parents both died when I was eleven years old, and I have been living with my sister ever since."
Lu Qianmo also looked at the painting on the wall and asked, "The girl who danced the sword is your sister?" ”
Yang Xiao nodded, "My sister's name is Yang Xi, she is two years older than me, and she has protected and spoiled me since I was a child." We have always lived a comfortable life in the peach blossom forest. Until one day..." Yang Xiao paused slightly, and her tone was sad, "One day we went to see the villagers of Taohua Village as usual, and on the way back, we found a seriously injured man. At that time, the man was already dying, and his sister kindly took him back to Peach Blossom Valley and saved him. It has been three months since the man's injuries have fully recovered, and after three months of getting along day and night, his sister and him have promised life and death, and then they became relatives in Peach Blossom Valley, and they had a child a year later. This child is Huohuo, when Huohuo was three years old, the man told his sister that he still had parents and family outside, and he didn't want Huohuo to grow up in obscurity in this peach blossom forest, and wanted to take him back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. My sister didn't approve at first, but the man was resolute, and in the end my sister could only agree. Not long after, the man left first, saying that he would go back and take care of everything before coming back to pick up their mother and son. As soon as the man left, it was half a year, and my sister still lived as usual for half a year, I knew that she actually didn't want to go, so she didn't have any expectations in her heart, so she could feel at ease as usual. Although my sister does not yearn for the outside world, she is still willing to sacrifice herself for her husband, but no one expected that half a year's wait would be in exchange for destruction. Speaking of this, the calm Yang Xiao showed indignation.
"Destruction?"
"Yes, destruction." Yang Xiao said angrily. "That day, when I returned from Peach Blossom Village, I saw a lot of corpses at the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley, and I knew that something was wrong, and I ran all the way home, and the road was full of corpses, and I became more and more anxious. My sister's martial arts are excellent, she can naturally cope with these people, but she still has to take care of the fire, and the other party is too crowded, so I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. ”
Yang Xiao raised her hand to wipe away her tears and continued: "When I returned home, there were only corpses left everywhere, there was no living person, and the house was already in tatters. I don't know how I insisted on rummaging through the corpses over and over again, and every time I saw an unfamiliar face, my torn heart was a little glad, and I was both happy and scared that there was no sister and fire in those corpses. I'm glad that they may have escaped alive, and I'm afraid that they may have been caught, and I can't imagine what will happen after being caught. ”
Lu Qianmo sighed how shocking the peach blossom valley full of corpses should be, and what a strong contrast the bright red of death and the pink of peach blossoms formed. And when she saw the white bones in the Peach Blossom Valley, it turned out that this was how she came.
