Chapter X
The plan to find Yaoyi was delayed for a few days due to my injury, and Yincheng said that I had not recovered from my serious injuries and that I had to travel with him. Yaoyi must have married Jiang Guo, so we came straight to Jiang Guo. But in the vast sea of people, how to get close to the general of Jiang Guo and successfully meet Yaoyi, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Suddenly, Yan Wen once said that the restaurant in the world is a magical place that knows the world's affairs, and after being full of wine and food, the favorite thing for human beings is to shake out what they have seen and heard to have fun. I silently thanked Yan Wen a few times in my heart, and Yincheng turned into civilian clothes, and according to the strong recommendation of the street vendors, I went to Shengxing Pavilion, the most prosperous restaurant here.
We sat down in a corner of the Shengxing Pavilion. It is also worthy of being the most lively restaurant in the whole Jiang country, the whole restaurant is overcrowded, the little two are busy sweating and running around, we have been sitting for a while, only then a young er with a beautiful face wiped his sweat and walked to our table, kept nodding and said: "The guest officer is really sorry, I am a little busy today and neglected the two, you two look at what you want to eat." "Look at what you want to taste. Yincheng pushed the menu in front of me, "I don't have anything special to eat, you can watch and order some." I pushed the menu back again. Yincheng ordered two dishes and one soup, "Little handsome guy, I would like to ask you something." I winked at him, put a little coil on the table and pushed it towards him, and Xiao Er took the silver with a knowing look and quickly stuffed it into his pocket. "You're polite, officer, what do you want to inquire about? "Do you have a general surnamed Tang here?" "You're talking about General Tang in the early years." "It should be, has he married recently?" "Married, I heard that the bride is a big beauty from the Qi country, but it's a pity, there are already sixteen wives in the mansion in the early Tang Dynasty, and this marriage is the seventeenth room." This is also a fresh picture, so many little wives, which man can take care of it. "When did you get married?" "Then will this girl be okay after marrying in?" "We outsiders don't know whether she is favored or not, but this girl looks a little thin, and she doesn't smile all day, and every time she goes out, she is followed by two or three maid guards, so she should be afraid of running away secretly." My eyes lit up, "Where does she go every day?" "Hey, hey, it's not a coincidence, it's not somewhere else, it's our store." But she never sits in the lobby, she always books the room on the top floor to the south. "What time did she come over?" "It's almost too late... Oh, hey, girl, look, that's it. ”
I looked in the direction that Xiao Er had pointed out, and saw a slender figure walking in from the door, most of its face was covered by a veil. It may be because of the double torture of mind and body, which makes this body look unhealthy and delicate, as if it will disappear when it is blown by the wind. She was followed by four girls and two guards, saying that they were followers, more like guards. Yao walked up the stairs with light steps, and went upstairs with a familiar car. "Little handsome guy, help urge the dishes, I'm a little hungry. Xiao Er shook off the towel and ran away quickly, I put the money on the table, and pulled Yincheng upstairs.
When I went up to the top floor, I saw the four maids standing at the door of the wing room next to me. "You wait for me outside, and I'll come when I go. I lowered my voice and said to Yincheng, who nodded. Before they could react, I waved my sleeves and quickly pinched the trick, and a red spell flower bloomed among them, and then turned into smoke and swirled around them, and the four maids fell to the ground unconscious. "What's the sound?" a cold voice came from the room, and I straightened my clothes, pushed the door open, and walked in.
There were several plates of delicacies and fruits on the wine table, but nothing was moved. Yao Yi had already removed the veil, and in the candlelight was the familiar face in the illusion. She leaned on the bench alone, her complexion was as clear as jade, only a little more haggard and pale. When she saw me, she straightened up in surprise, "I'm here to help the girl realize the marriage she asked for." "Marriage?" she thought of something, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm already dirty, how can I have the face to yearn to return to him." The girl must not be mortal, so I just ask you to protect him for the safety of this life. "I gradually approached her," the girl asked her heart, and if your heart tells you that you don't care anymore, that you don't love it, and that you let it go, then I'll leave. Yaoyi lowered her head and clenched her sleeves with her fingers. After a while, she smiled bitterly and looked at the night outside the window, and said, "I come here every day to taste some delicacies, but I can just sit here and look in the direction of Qi Kingdom." ”
Love has always been a thing that turns a thousand times, just like drinking arsenic with a smile, and the picture is willing.
"True love doesn't care whether you are complete or beautiful, all he cares about is the heart in your body that only he has. I spread out my hand, conjured a bracelet made of my fox fur, and bent down to tie it to Yaoyi's hand. "This bracelet can give you a chance to cast a spell, and if you figure it out, you can go where you want to go three times in silence on the bracelet, and you can be sent there. "Actually, this bracelet is still a mark, because it is made of my fox fur, if this marriage is completed, then the cultivation obtained is mine.
I walked out of the room, and Ginjo was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "I'm okay here, now that I know the addresses of the two people, I can travel a thousand miles. Let's go back to Qi and wait. "Sure enough, Qingqiu's marriage technique requires a lot of effort. Yincheng reached out and touched my head.
When I stepped into the General's Mansion again, I saw a subtle change in Yincheng's expression. "What's wrong?" "Nothing. Yincheng just smiled, I took him to turn left and right, looking at the familiar back under the peach tree in the distance, I turned my head and said, "It seems that the girl hasn't figured it out yet." Yincheng didn't speak, just looked at the back. I walked up to Cheng Zibei, and when I saw his face, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
This face is no longer the heroic face I saw before, the shriveled and wrinkled skin is covered with old age markings, the eyes are sunken in the sockets, and the corners of the eyes are full of wrinkles. This is exactly the face of an old man, and I can vaguely recognize that this is indeed Cheng Ziying, but his long black hair and long body are still the same as before. "What's going on?!" I stared at him incredulously, "I know what's going on. Yincheng said as he shrugged, "Because I made his face." ”
Yincheng told me that their bird clan's transfiguration technique needs materials, and this material is to make a deal with someone who is willing to give their faces, and the bird clan will help them fulfill a wish, and the price is to give their appearance to the bird clan. "This Cheng Gongzi prayed yesterday, hoping that a girl named Yaoyi can be safe and happy in this life, he is willing to give me his face, I came to Qi Country this time to trade with him. Yincheng stretched out his hand, and a familiar face appeared in his hand, and I looked at Cheng Ziyu's young face in his hand, and I fell into deep thought. I'm afraid that if Yaoyi really comes back after figuring it out, she will faint with fear when she sees Cheng Ziying's face.
However, when I was thinking, a dazzling halo flashed next to Cheng Zibei, and a woman's graceful figure gradually appeared in the halo, and what I was most worried about still happened. After the halo disappeared, Yaoyi stood on the ground, Cheng Ziyi slowly turned his face sideways, and the moment he saw Yaoyi, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled, he should have wanted to call Yaoyi's name, but he didn't shout after all. Yaoyi looked around and saw the 'old man' in front of her, her eyes went from thought to shock. "Zibei?" she finally recognized him, "No, girl, you are mistaken, I am not." Cheng Ziyi struggled to get up, trying to leave on crutches, but was tightly hugged by Yao Yi from behind. "How could I admit my mistake, Zibei, do you still refuse to recognize me?" "I lost you, and now, I look old and lame, and I am no longer worthy of you." Yaoyi turned him around, and a pair of plain hands touched Cheng Ziyi's face, there was not the slightest disgust in her eyes, only endless tenderness. "What I'm afraid of is that I will be a stranger to you in this life, and as long as your heart still belongs to me, I have nothing to fear. My hands are accustomed to holding daggers, and I would like to wash my hands and make soup for you alone. As long as you still need me, you can't do without me, you still love me, in my life, even if I break my bones and ashes, I am also your Cheng Zibei's woman. ”
In the cold moonlight, I watched Cheng Ziyi hug Yaoyi tightly. A general who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years is crying bitterly like a child. Yaoyi gently stroked his back, smiling softly like water. She's no longer an invisible assassin who kills people, and she's not a general on a bloody battlefield anymore.
Human life is one encounter and parting after another, it is forgotten and begun again and again, but there are always some things, once they happen, they leave a mark, and there is always a person, once they come, they can't forget.
