Volume 1 The Clan's Door Alone Enters Xiguan Chapter 4 The Soft Fall Falls Like the Sea
"No, Miss, you can't do this" Wu Qing struggled to grab the snow blade, but he was a step too late.
The blade fell, Zhu Qi's left hand fell to the ground, Wu Ling's eyes widened and he couldn't say a word, like an idiot, like a fool.
Zhu Qi's wrist was not splashed with blood, the wound was faintly covered with a layer of frost, and there was no trace of blood on his snow-white face at this time, so he took a handkerchief and wrapped the severed palm and handed it to Li Qinwu.
At this time, Li Qinwu took Zhu Qi's severed palm, his hands trembled slightly, as a great martial artist, he had never felt and felt such emotions.
Is it pathetic? No.
Is it scared? No.
Is it admiration? Yes, it's admiration.
He only admired one person in his life, that is, Duke Wuzhi, and now he admires one more person, a gentle and elegant, beautiful and brave girl.
Only then did he realize that he regretted it in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have tracked it down here, was it right or wrong?
Li Qinwu left, the broken temple returned to tranquility, Wu Ling was still standing stupidly, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out and fainted to the ground.
"Grandpa Wu Qing, come and take a look at Xiao Ling, what's wrong with him?" Zhu Qi said anxiously.
Wu Qing checked Wu Ling's injuries and replied: "Young Master is fine, it's just a few moves against Li Qinwu, which shocked the internal organs, and it's not a big problem, the cultivation will heal in one day, and the martial arts may be improved by then."
"It's okay, it's okay to attack with the great martial artist for a few moves, there should be a little bit of epiphany, with Xiao Ling's qualifications, martial arts improvement is also inevitable", Zhu Qi stroked Wu Ling's cheek with his right hand.
"Just Miss your hand ......"
"Don't mention it again, as long as Xiao Ling is well, everything will be fine. ”
"Signs in the city these days......"
"I have seen Xiao Ling from afar, and the specific situation will wait for Xiao Ling to wake up tomorrow, you can tell me both of you together!"
"Miss, the young master's name and your name must be changed, otherwise the notices on the street will reveal our whereabouts. ”
"Yes, Wu Ling, Wu Zhuqi, this city-wide notice is full of our names, and sooner or later it will be exposed, but if we change our names, how can our mother find us in the future?"
"It's better for the young lady to give the young master a word, and in the future, she will only call the word, not the name. ”
"It's okay", Zhu Qi thought for a while, "The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute." Dad liked this ancient poem the most, and now that grandpa and he are gone, let Xiao Ling inherit their legacy, Xiao Ling's character is called Lingyi!"
"Lingyi, Lingyi, good words, I hope the old master and the old master can bless the young master, and I also hope that the young master can be like the old master and them...... Hey, it's not like it's better", Wu Qing muttered, "What about Miss?"
Zhu Qi looked at Wu Qing, with guilt and self-blame in his eyes, "Actually, Grandpa Wu Qing took away Sister Yue'er and Brother Xiaokui, and I understand that Grandpa Wu Qing wants to exchange their lives for me and my brother's lives, you shouldn't do this." ”
"Miss doesn't need to mention this again, I didn't force Yue'er and Xiaokui, they volunteered to protect Miss and the young master, and I was reluctant, but only in this way can I keep the bloodline of the Wu clan and avenge the old master in the future", two lines of turbid tears flowed down the wrinkles from the corners of Wu Qing's eyes.
Zhu Qi stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Wu Qing's eyes, "Grandpa Wu Qing, I will be Yue'er in the future, Ling Yi and I will honor your old man, I am your own granddaughter." ”
"Okay, good, good Yue'er!" In his eyes, Liang'er is a good granddaughter.
It was late at night, the bonfire was gradually extinguished, Zhu Qi helped Fuqingsi with his broken wrist with his left hand, looked at his broken wrist and his sleeping brother, sighed, leaned against the fallen pillar, closed his eyes, seemed to be sleeping, and seemed to be thinking, thinking about what to do next?
Early the next morning, Wu Qing went out to hunt two hares, removed their fur, and put them on the fire to roast slowly.
Ling Yi had already woken up in the middle of the night, and stared at the fire like this. Zhu Qi couldn't rest assured, so he stayed quietly by his side, and there was still a thin layer of frost on his wrist.
"Grandpa Wu Qing, tell me about the situation at home!" Suddenly, Xiao Lingyi spoke.
Wu Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Lingyi, turned his head to look at Zhu Qi, and saw that Zhu Qi nodded before he spoke: "There are too many things that have happened in the past few days, too big, I don't know where to start, it's just that the notices in the city have ...... these days" stopped, and his voice was choked.
"My sister and I have seen the notice, why did my grandfather kill himself in Xisha City, why did my father die outside the palace gate, and what happened to my mother?"
"Hey, it's a pity that the Wu family is full of loyalty, but unexpectedly, it ended up with a broken family, and there are too many doubts in it", Wu Qing said.
"You're saying that my grandfather and father were killed?"
"You listen to me first, I think that when the old master and Emperor Taizong fought for decades, opened up the great rivers and mountains of the Dongsheng Empire, there were no less than a thousand battles of all sizes, no less than a million enemies were killed, there were victories and defeats, there were several defeats that were much more serious than the loss of Yanmen Pass this time, and I didn't see your grandfather discouraged, you said that this small defeat would crush your grandfather?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizong enshrined the old master as a first-class loyal and brave duke, it was the old master who read Xisha City was slaughtered by the Rakshasa cavalry all the year round, so he begged for a fief in Xisha City, led 10,000 warrior iron cavalry to run for half a month, and swept away the entire Yongzhou Rakshasa cavalry before March, and the people of Yongzhou called the old master "the god of war" from that time.
At the end of the war, the old master was stationed at Yanmen Pass, this guard is twenty-nine years, during which the young lady was born thirteen years ago, the young master was born four years ago, and Wu Guifei was seriously ill half a year ago before returning to Qingdu, and the rest of the time the armor was added, never slacking off in the military. He defended his family and country all his life, do you think he will abandon the people when the enemy is still clear?
On the night of the 15th, the Rakshasa Kingdom attacked, and on the 16th, the Duke killed himself. There are too many suspicions, I don't think they dare to come and attack when the old master is in charge, even if they come, they will be caught with the cultivation of the old master Martial Saint to clean up?
Calm down a little: "Let's talk about your father, he joined the army at the age of fourteen, followed his old master to fight in the north and south, and made great achievements.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he led the army to pacify the bandits in a state capital, and did not return to Beijing until the birth of the young lady.
In terms of force value, your father is also a dignified martial artist, and you said that he would die outside the palace gate for no apparent reason?"
Listening to Wu Qing's analysis, Ling Yi and his sister did feel that this matter was not so simple, and Ling Yi asked, "What about Mother?"
"I haven't heard from your mother, maybe she's already on her way to look for you," Wu Qing guessed.
"However, my sister's severed hand was sent to the capital, will it ......?"
"No, with your mother's intelligence, seeing that there is no one in sight, you should know that you are still safe for the time being. ”
"Let's hope so, and hopefully Mother will find us soon. ”
After hearing this, Ling Yi faintly felt that there was a big conspiracy planned, what was the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes? Is it the revenge of the enemy of the martial family?
"I want to grow up quickly, I have to practice martial arts hard, so that I can protect my sister and mother in the future, and avenge my grandfather and father, no matter who is behind the scenes, if you provoke me, you must pay the price", Ling Yi secretly clenched his fists.
Firming up his belief, Ling Yi asked Wu Qing, "What happened before this?"
"This has to start from half a year ago, when Wu Guifei was seriously ill, the palace sent a message to your father that the concubine Niangniang was seriously ill and had reached a dying state, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless.
The old master received the message and flew back to Kyoto overnight, and with the true spirit of the sage, he saved his life, and since then the concubine has been bedridden and lives on medicine every day. ”
"I know this, it was when my grandfather came back half a year ago, it was during this time that my grandfather guided my meridians, so that I opened up the martial arts three years earlier than ordinary people and entered the ranks of martial artists, and my aunt was seriously ill and was also harmed by traitors?"
"I don't know, the old master didn't say much, and there were no waves for half a year after that, until the fifteenth day of the winter month, that is, on that day, the three princes entered the Tai Academy to apprentice.
Early in the morning, a little eunuch passed on the concubine's message and summoned your father to the palace. I sent your father to the palace gate, because he did not have a palace entry token, he was stopped outside the palace gate, and your father was worried about the condition of the concubine, and he broke into the harem without fear of the obstruction of the forbidden army.
An hour later, your father came out of the palace, but he was not accused of trespassing in the harem, and his face was gloomy, and he returned to the palace in silence.
Back in the palace, your father was ill and did not attend the entrance ceremony of the third prince to the Taixue, nor did he attend the night banquet held in the palace.
Everything happened from the night banquet, less than three minutes after the night banquet began, martial law was imposed in the city, and it was rumored that the four princes at the night banquet were all poisoned and unconscious.
After that, your father dismissed the domestic servants, and all the military guards returned to the military camp on the outskirts of the city with the general's order, and the lady escaped with you both, and you all know what happened after that, but unfortunately the old master and your father are gone, hey......"
All three fell silent, no one tended to the fire, the rabbit was cooked, and no one had an appetite.
