Chapter 12 To Thy City

Inscription:

The water shows the mountain and the eyebrows are far away, and the return is idle and leaning on the small pavilion window.

The spring breeze does not understand the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and smiles at the rain alley to find guests to taste.

- "Remembering Jiangnan" is unknown

The rain in the south is like a crisp, just like the gentle lingering girl in the south; the lotus in the sun is waiting to be released, like a beautiful woman standing in waiting; the canopy boat rowing past seems to carry the lovesickness of the visitors, with bursts of ripples; the beauty passing by the stone bridge with a flower paper umbrella hooks the chic soul in the teahouse. The small and delicate in the south, the smoke and rain painting buildings, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the brushes are full of charm in the poems and writings of the merry and talented. A southern woman with three cheeks in one step, gentle and tender, holding the heart of the guest with a smile. Not to mention the small bridges and flowing waters, the scenery of the ancient alleys, pavilions and green tiles is more like a vivid and dexterous landscape painting.

Wang Lianqing has never been to the south, nor has he seen the south. Speaking of the south, they have never seen Mr. Li's elegance, and later they all know that Mr. Li went to the south when he was young, but he did not return.

The south in Mr. Kou's mouth is also the Nanjiang River, the southern section of the Liujiang River and many rivers converge, which is collectively called the Nanjiang River by the southerners, the Nanjiang scenery is poetic and picturesque, and the talented and beautiful women used to be very longing, and they never thought that they would go to the south.

The group in the carriage was tired from the bumps. Wang Lianqing leaned against the door of the carriage and didn't speak, this was the first time he went out, and there was a trace of longing and worry about the world opposite.

In his memory, life was really peaceful before, the wind could not blow a trace of ripples, the town in his memory was also very calm, the small people in the town lived and worked in peace and contentment, the most impressive thing was the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the people in the town talked about it, I had never seen the people of the rivers and lakes killing, the bleeding poultry had seen, the killing had not been seen, the two brothers in Donghu Lane fought with each other for family property, and they were ridiculed by everyone.

Wang Lianqing thought about the past, his face was sad, his grandfather's life was not good, and his own life was not good. It was the first time he had seen someone so fierce, and the scum of the rivers and lakes that Mr. Storyteller had said before was just a murderous one, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be stabbed thirteen times and not die well.

The night before he went south, he was awakened by a nightmare, and his grandfather's painful appearance in the dream stung him. Thinking of the past, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to flow out, he made up his mind, when he waited in the south, he wanted to learn martial arts, and it was best to find those three villains to sacrifice his grandfather's spirit in the sky.

Su Ruwen, who was leaning on the opposite side, seemed to notice Wang Lianqing's actions, turned to Wang Lianqing's side and comforted: "Qing'er, don't think too much, live a good life in the future." ”

Wang Lianqing found Su Ruwen, the stepfather who had turned to his side, settled down, and hurriedly replied: "I know, father-in-law." ”

Su Ruwen nodded and said: "I have two sons above, that is, your two elder brothers, the eldest is called Su Ji, and the younger Su Rui is stubborn by nature, you can be with them in the future, and you will not cause me trouble." ”

"When I see the two brothers, I must help my father-in-law watch them, and I won't let my father-in-law worry about them. Wang Lianqing said respectfully.

"It's the best, I'm relieved to see you so steady. After speaking, Su Ruwen turned back to the place just now, and Wang Lianqing looked at him a little relieved.

After nearly two months, they finally arrived at the southern border, passed through three states and two counties, completely left the northern territory, and nearly ten days away from the capital of Jinjing, the capital of the Jinyang Dynasty, and the Su family was in the capital.

The chirping cicadas in the late summer season always drag out the sound for a long time, and the sunset in the south seems to be later, although the road is bumpy, everyone still rarely speaks, Su Su occasionally leans on his grandfather, occasionally leans on his father, and sometimes snuggles up to Wang Lianqing, everyone loves the little girl very much.

Wang Lianqing looked at the sleeping Su Su snuggling up to his father-in-law, Wang Lianqing moved to Grandpa Su and asked him, "Grandpa, I have something to ask you." ”

Seeing Wang Lianqing move over and ask himself, Grandpa Su returned: "If you have any questions, you can ask." ”

"I want to ask who those three people really are, and why they have a grudge against you. ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "Those three people specifically said that I don't know all of them, and I only recognize one of them, but listening to the names between them, the young two should be the descendants of Yu Zheng'an's despicable villain, as for who Yu Zheng'an is and why he has an enmity with me, this matter has to start from ten years ago, let me tell you slowly." ”

Here's the thing, ten years ago, Kyoto's largest auction house Shangbao Pavilion auctioned an object, the Su family got a thing from the auction with a huge amount of money, the object is a brand token, the person who gets this thing can get a chance to test the sky for ten years, this thing is related to the lifeblood of the Su family, at that time, the old man Su just succeeded the head of the family, and he was very concerned about the brand token that was auctioned, and ordered someone to hide it in the Xuan Pavilion where the Su family was most heavily guarded.

Yu Zheng'an infiltrated the Su family as a servant, and learned that the brand token auctioned by the Su family was hidden in the Xuan Pavilion, and took advantage of the night to sneak into the Xuan Pavilion to steal it, who expected that the old man Su was in retreat and cultivation in the Xuan Pavilion at that time, the two met, and started to move, and finally Yu Zheng'an could not steal, and was cut in the face with a sword and hit the central lung, and fell off the cliff from the ten-story Xuan Pavilion, thinking that he would definitely die, but he did not expect that he was not dead and appeared in Beiwang Town to attack their grandson.

After hearing this, Wang Lianqing was shocked, but he didn't expect Yu Zheng'an's life to be so hard, but he was very curious about the old man's ten-year test, so he asked, "Grandpa, what is the ten-year test?"

"You've seen people like me, do you feel amazing?"

"Amazing, your martial arts are strong, and you can fly the eaves and walk the wall, very powerful. Wang Lianqing said with admiration.

"We are powerful in the eyes of the little people, but do you know? There are people up there who are better than us, do you believe it?" the old man pointed to the sky.

"What? how is it possible!" Wang Lianqing said in shock.

"Don't be so shocked, do you remember that night, when you were covered in blue light and scared away those three bad guys?"

"Naturally remember, but I don't know what's going on?"

"I don't know what the reason is, I just know that the jade pendant on your chest has a great origin, and it must be a blessing given by the heavenly people. ”

"It turns out that there are mountain people outside the mountain, and it is true that there are people outside the mountain. Wang Lianqing said in amazement.

"Naturally, the jade pendant you brought is going to be put away, I don't know what it is, but it saved your life, it must not be simple. ”

"Yes, Grandpa. ”

"When you go out in the future, pay more attention to it, behave more perversely, be polite to anyone you meet, people in the rivers and lakes rise up and kill people according to their preferences, as for what I tell you today, no one should tell anyone else, so as not to cause trouble to people who should not be provoked. The old man said seriously.

"Remembered. ”

"One more thing" After speaking, the old man took out a small dagger from his sleeve, which was the dagger that the thin man was injured and fell in the courtyard.

Hand it to Wang Lianqing and said: "This is the murder weapon that killed your grandfather, I believe you also remember, it was the thin man who was injured and fell in the courtyard, and he fled in a hurry and didn't have time to take it away, I picked it up, from the sharpness of such a dagger, the craftsmanship of the craft, and the unique mark on the dagger, this thing is extraordinary." ”

Wang Lianqing took it over and looked at it for a while, and found that there was an eagle's head mark on the handle of the dagger, the dagger was extremely sharp, looked at Grandpa Su, and asked, "Grandpa, haven't seen this mark either?"

"I've been walking for years and I've never seen this mark. When the three people went back, I sent someone to investigate, and as soon as I found out, I immediately killed them, and avenged your grandfather's revenge, so as not to hide in the dark and do some small things, so that the family was frightened, as for this dagger is also extraordinary, you keep it for self-defense, as for the revenge, you don't have to worry about it, and live a good life in the future. ”

Wang Lianqing responded: "Yes."

Looking at this dagger, Wang Lianqing still couldn't help but feel sad, after all, his grandfather died under this dagger, and he was secretly ruthless in his heart, and he must learn martial arts.

The carriage and horses traveled very quickly, and they did not delay on the road, except for letting the horses rest and eat grass and rest, and kept hurrying, and eight days later, the group finally arrived at the Jinjing City.

Wang Lianqing saw such a big city gate for the first time, on the high city wall, the wide moat, the suspension bridge of the main gate is several zhang wide, ten cars can pass at the same time, the city gate "Jinjing" two words are extraordinary, looking at the city gate tower on the guard majestic and upright, now there is no war, the city gate is open, the people are free to enter and exit, bustling, a prosperous image. Although the north has also passed through several states and counties, it is completely incomparable to the momentum of Jindu.

Su Su looked at the city gate close at hand, shook the back of his grandfather's hand happily, and said happily: "Grandpa, look, look, we are coming, we are almost home!"

"Got it, look at what excites you. The old man said helplessly.

The voice of the attendant came from outside: "Uncle, the head of the family, we have arrived in Kyoto, do you want to notify the family in advance to pick us up?"

"You go and send someone to inform them to wait at home, and we'll just get there slowly. Su Ruwen said to the attendant who was asking.

"Yes, sir. After saying that, he ordered an attendant to ride a horse and go to inform first.

Wang Lianqing they entered the city in the back, just opened the market, the street was very lively, Wang Lianqing looked at the people bustling, all kinds of shouting and juggling sound endlessly, all kinds of shops are luxuriously decorated, the scale is large, the pedestrians are gorgeously dressed, there are many kinds of things, even the stone slabs on the ground are carved with many animals, and I secretly thought in my heart, I just can't compare with the big place, Beiwang Town is still too small.

Su Su looked at Wang Lianqing's surprised look, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Xiaoqing, is Kyoto lively?"

"It's so big, it's really lively, and the people here are so happy. Wang Lianqing said

"Hehe, you follow me in the future, I will take you out for shopping, and I will buy you whatever you want. Su Su seemed to have arrived at her territory, and she had the final say.

"Good. Wang Lianqing responded to Su Su.

When Su Su's father heard what Su Su said, he said helplessly: "This little girl." Grandpa Su shook his head helplessly, Su Su saw them like this, and stuck out his tongue at the two, which was extremely cute.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and the attendant outside spoke: "The master, the uncle, the young lady, we have arrived." ”

Su Su happily lifted the cloth and took the lead in getting out, and the attendants outside hugged him down, and shouted happily: "Brother Xiaoqing, grandpa, father, get out of the car, we are home!"

Everyone got off the car for the first time, looked up, only to see a tall and majestic house door standing in front of them, the door plaque is written with the two big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing "Su Mansion", three pairs of red lanterns are hung on both sides of the house door are noble and luxurious, two bottles of stone carved unicorns sit on both sides of the straight stone steps, majestic and solemn, there are two men and two female servants at the door of the house to stand on both sides, an old man who looks like a housekeeper sees a few people get off the car, and immediately shouts: "Welcome the master of the house to go home!"
