Chapter 3 Weiyang debuts
I didn't have time to ask who these two strands of hair belonged to, but the master had already called to chase the wind, put the two burdens on the horse's back, and instructed: "In this baggage is Huan'er's daily change of clothes and coils, and in the other baggage is your change of clothes and commonly used medicines." ”
All the entanglements are naturally safer in Tang Huan's place than in me, but the premise is that Tang Huan and I will walk all the way and never be separated. Otherwise, I would have only ended up in two situations: either I would be penniless on the streets, selling poisons, and then detained by the government; Either they were hungry and died of starvation.
Master sent us to the foot of the mountain before stopping, and repeatedly told Tang Huan to protect me thoroughly, this mission will take a long time, and once we miss, it is very likely to provoke disputes between the two countries, no matter what, we must not reveal our identity, and we must find a way to blame the country as a last resort.
At that time, I didn't know that Ji'an Tang had already become famous in various countries.
After saying goodbye to Master, Tang Huan and I had a disagreement.
There were two people, two horses, and one bird. Of course, the bird does not return, two horses, one chasing the wind and the other lightning.
Lightning's feet are much faster than chasing the wind, so Tang Huan suggested that the two of us ride the lightning together and put the burden on the back of the chasing wind. I don't think it's appropriate, chasing the wind is already slow, and it wouldn't be unsafe if we lost our clothes and coils.
After much discussion, Zuihou decided that Tang Huan would take his burden and ride the lightning to open the way in front, and I would ride the chasing wind and follow closely with no return, if I couldn't keep up with the speed halfway, I would fly to Tang Huan to report the news.
It was much later that I questioned, for such an important task, Weishenme to carry Chasing the Wind, a fat horse with difficulty in moving?
Tang Huan explained: "In this way, others can't see that you were sent by Ji'an Hall to assassinate King Xiao." I can't agree with him.
The red sun is sinking in the west, the sun is shining all over the sky, a man and a horse, walking on the ancient tree-lined road, the horse's hooves are broken and lonely.
I looked into the distance, and I could faintly see the traces of Tang Huan and lightning, and after resting on my shoulders for a while, they spread their wings and circled above my head again.
If it weren't for the mission, this trip could be regarded as a trip, but thinking of what the master said before the temporary trip, I would have lost the mood of seeing the scenery. I haven't even had time to ask Master, who is my father, and Weishenme will be killed by King Xiao? At that time, I did not deeply understand the meaning of killing my father.
In order to accommodate the speed of chasing the wind, Tang Huan stopped and stopped all the way, and only after three days did we arrive at the capital Tongzhan, which means that there is still a month's journey from the capital of Xiao State, provided that we do not have any problems along the way.
The largest inn in Tongzhan is called Fulai Inn, and in line with the principle that all the expenses of this trip will be reimbursed by the master, Tang Huan and I stayed here and took a break. After arranging the horses and asking for two upper rooms, he and Tang Huan came to the hall on the first floor and ordered a few dishes of wine and food, and ate unhurriedly.
Halfway through eating, I suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, and my heart was not good, it couldn't be poisoning, right? But I washed my hands before eating, and the poison I was carrying with me did not come into contact with the food.
Tang Huan saw that I frowned, put down his chopsticks and asked aloud. I suddenly thought of the bowl of porridge I drank in Ji'an Hall four days ago, looked at him sadly, and said, "You really put poison in the porridge?" ”
"Huh?" Tang Huan couldn't react for a while, and only after half a sound did he pat his head and said, "If it's really poisonous, how can it be so many geniuses, reach over and I'll take your pulse." ”
I obediently stretched out my hand to him, don't worry if you are really poisoned, Tang Huan is one of the best detoxification saints in the world.
Tang Huan pressed my pulse for a while, silently withdrew his hand, leaned in front of me and whispered, "Are you here for the monthly letter?" ”
“……”
Because of this, I haven't talked to Tang Huan all day, although I grew up with him since I was a child, and I can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, and I have no guesses, but at least I still have the most shame, and I am ashamed not of the monthly letter, but that I actually asked a man to tell me in the monthly letter.
At dinner, the arrival of a group of people completely broke the deadlock between me and Tang Huan.
I was weakly burying my head in my mouth and pulling the rice grains on the table, but fortunately, I knew that the grains were hard work, and pecked the scattered rice grains one by one. When I was about to put down my chopsticks, a group of people slowly walked in front of the inn.
The man who walked in the front, looking like he was in his early twenties, dressed in white and snowy, his long hair was neatly curled into a bun, and his narrow eyes under his sword eyebrows were seductive, as if he saw my almost gaze, he slightly hooked his lips and smiled.
I swear that there is no man who can compare with the appearance of the whole Antang and even the Shenhe Village under Tongshan. Of course, I can only say this in my heart, if I tell Tang Huan, he will definitely strangle me.
The men in white sat down at the table next to us. In order to observe this group of suspicious people more quickly, I slowed down the pace of eating, and fed a grain of rice into my mouth.
Tang Huan glanced at the person at the next table with my gaze, and said very unfamiliarly, "Are you not returning?" You can't finish eating until dawn. ”
The man in white noticed my gaze and nodded slightly at me, which was kind of a greeting. It would be a pity if such a person who suited my heart just met in Pingshui, and when I was complaining about why God didn't arrange a vigorous encounter, several people walked in at the door.
The people who came were all dressed in black suits and held three-foot long swords. After a few glances at the inn, he stopped his gaze on Tang Huan and me.
Although we are going to complete the assassination operation, as long as we have not left the territory of Lou Kingdom, my senior brother and I have not much to worry about.
The leading man in black walked up to Tang Huan and looked up and down: "What's your name, where are you from, and where are you going?" ”
Although the man in black did not identify himself, it can be seen that nine times out of ten he is a spy of the government, and the three countries coexist harmoniously on the surface, but there are a large number of detailed works lurking among each other in the dark.
Tang Huan's face was calm, he couldn't see the slightest emotion, and instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you?" ”
"You don't deserve to know our identity, tell us honestly, or you'll come with us!" The man in black said and put the long sword on Tang Huan's neck.
I'm a little flustered, there are too many people in the inn, and sprinkling some poison at this time will not only hurt the innocent, but also very likely to expose my identity.
But if something happens to Tang Huan, it will be very difficult for me to complete the task alone.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, before a decision was made, the man in white at the next table walked up to us leisurely under the repeated obstruction of his entourage, raised his hand and pushed away the long sword around Tang Huan's neck, and said in a flat tone: "You are acting like this, it is too blatant. This brother and this girl knew at a glance that they had eloped, so why should you embarrass them? ”
The eyes that looked at him full of gratitude instantly became complaining, does my senior brother and I look like we eloped?
The man in black turned his gaze to the man in white, laughed instead of anger, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man in white replied slowly: "In Xia Weiyang." ”
Many times I think that Weiyang looks so mysterious, probably because it has something to do with his name, like my brother and I are typical of ordinary people wherever we put our names. God gave Weiyang a good-looking face, and Weiyang's parents gave him a nice name, and I was suddenly a little indignant for my senior brother, even if he had the same name as the dog, he also had a face that couldn't make people's blood gush.
Later, Tang Huan analyzed to me that if he had a face like that, there would be two possibilities.
First, we are used to it, and I feel that he is not even as good-looking as ordinary people. Two, I had blood gushing for at least eight hours a day, and Zuihou died.
