Chapter 2 A Thousand Miles of Marriage

June 20, 565 of the Eltino calendar, it is called Hangzhou, the kingdom of Altino

"Where there is no drunkenness in high-rise buildings, who has red sleeves and does not pity each other", counting the fireworks in the world, the most talked about is the desert oasis in the corridor of Hexi, Shangri-La, Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties...... and other first-class metropolises.

The area of the West Lake, since ancient times, is the prosperous place of the drunken gold fan, scratching people and ink customers, three or five into a group, vassals and elegant, chanting and appreciating the wind and moon, accompanied by grape wine, glamorous singers, soft whispers, fragrant wind wafting between, often squandering gold like earth, proud of it, in the rhyme is continuous, so the fireworks here are extremely prosperous, the dance pavilion and song building, stretching for more than ten miles.

Zhumenju is one of the few high-end museums in the local area, like this kind of level of museums, different from ordinary prostitutes, the resident singers, still qin art, proficient in singing and dancing, poetry and literature, under the banner of selling art and not selling themselves.

The consumption inside is extremely amazing, if there is no hundreds of silver coins, don't say that it is a pro-Fangze, even drinking a cup of tea is a problem, so there is a proverb of "Zhumenju, it is not easy" came out.

"Ah......h

At noon, the two big red vermilion doors representing Zhumenju suddenly opened, and two young men in ragged clothes were thrown out heavily.

"Stinky boy, if you don't have money, you dare to learn to visit the Academy, get out, don't let the masters see you again. ”

The martial artist of the nursing courtyard, after dropping the cruel words, slammed the door hard.

"Oh, oh! ”

"Dare to treat Uncle Ben like this, don't you want to live?"

Ignoring Lancelot's thunderous jump, the door of Zhumenju was still closed, and Xiaocao rubbed his sore buttocks, secretly screaming for a downturn.

Such a result, as early as she expected, the two of them, not even half a dime, obviously even the settlement of dinner has become a problem, but they still want to enter the Academy, and the arrogance of the scholar to spend a lot of money is simply unthinkable.

But what did Lancelot say, "Since the chivalrous woman is out of the dust, a young hero like us will definitely be appreciated by a discerning confidant" and other reasons, regardless of opposition, he wants to enter the academy to fulfill his wish.

Sure enough, the turtle slave who was in charge of the reception, after seeing the two of them dressed, began to frown on the smiling faces that were originally piled up, and then turned into an arrogant wooden face, and asked the two to leave "quite politely".

Lancelot, who was greatly disappointed, greeted the whole family of the turtle slave with very spicy words, and as a result, before the fourth degree relatives had a settlement, the two grabbed the collar and threw out the door one by one.

However, Xiaocao is also busy calling it a fluke in his heart, if he really enters the Ji Yuan, he really doesn't know what to do!

"Damn fellow, the dog looks down on people, and sooner or later he will ask you to kowtow and admit your mistakes. ”

Seeing Lancerogu scolding endlessly, Xiaocao shook his head and said, "I said I didn't want it a long time ago, but now I'm kicked out!"

"Hmph! There is no one here, there is a place to keep people. Uncle Ben is still afraid that there is nowhere to go? Foolish brother, I will look for another place with Brother Xian. ”

"Big brother, where are you going!

Xiaocao was no stranger to Lancelot's endless strange words and phrases, and was just rushing to chase after them, while secretly praying that he would never go to any strange places again.

"Big brother, I have a question?"

"What a doubt. ”

"Why are we running into such a place?"

"If we brothers want to discuss a big deal to make a fortune, we naturally need to find a hidden place, and if we want to hide a tree, the best place is the woods. It's full of people, don't you think, it's a wonderful place?"

"That's not how that is said!"

Looking at the crowd around and the boats coming and going, Xiaocao was paddling on the one hand, and complaining in a low voice for his brother's lack of tendons.

After going around for a long time, the two returned to the West Lake, and Lancelot had a whim, went to the shore and stole a small boat, and rowed on the lake, wanting to discuss a big plan in this hidden place where he could hide his ears and steal bells.

Needless to say, because Lancelot thinks that he is responsible for the heavy responsibility of using his brain, small labor tasks such as manual rowing naturally fall on Xiaocao's head.

The surrounding boats, one by one, because it is the heyday of commerce, so in addition to the tourists who take the painting boat to the lake, there are also many smart hawkers, bringing all kinds of snacks with random surnames, driving a small boat, shouting and selling on the lake.

"Big brother. It's so lively over there. ”

"It's none of your business, row your boat well. ”

"I don't know what big brother has in mind?"

Because he knew that this brother would lose his temper at any time, Xiaocao asked cautiously.

"Hey, I've got a plan, I'm going to do a big kidnapping business. ”

"You said that last time. ”

"Adults talk, children don't interject casually. ”

Lancelot waved his hand impatiently, looked carefully to the left and right, and said in a low voice: "The first fat sheep to be locked by Uncle Ben is Reyns." Princess Leia, the prince of the kingdom of Tiren. ”

"Princess Leia. Xiaocao exclaimed.

In a panic, the first reaction was to jump ship to escape, but when he caught a glimpse of Lancelot's face, there was no mutation, and he didn't seem to have seen through the mechanism, so he barely suppressed the panic in his heart, and forced a smile: "Big brother and Princess Lia, there is a grudge in the past?"

"Nope. ”

"That's with Reyns. The Kingdom of Tiren, recently said that there is a grievance?"

"No, there isn't. ”

"Then why kidnap her?"

"Kidnapping is kidnapping, what other reason do you need?" Lancelot's face did not change, and he was serious.

Xiaocao only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, this brother, who had only been married for less than half a day, had been running with her for most of the day, and she couldn't think of the first thing she had to do, which was to kidnap herself, so why not teach her to laugh and laugh.

"Reyns. The kingdom of Tiren, the country is not weak, Princess Liya is the prince of the prince, and there must be many guards around her, just rely on you and my brother, I am afraid of ......" Xiaocao tried to persuade his brother to dispel his mind.

"So you say you're stupid! Who said you were going to kidnap you? Lancelot laughed.

Although Lancelot was reckless and short-tempered, he was not stupid, and as early as when he came down the mountain, he sneaked to the red wall of the city gate of Hangzhou to check the latest bounty news.

The biggest bounty at the moment is Reyns. News of the disappearance of Princess Lea, the princess of the Kingdom of Tiren.

Reins. The Kingdom of Tiren, located in the East, is an ancient country with a very long history, tracing back to the national calendar, as far as 9,000 years ago, the Kingdom of Eltino is also difficult to match, looking around the contemporary era, it can be said to be unbeatable.

Although it is a big country, it is different from the rising star of the kingdom of Altinor, Reyns. The kingdom of Tiren, which has always been ruled peacefully by the queen, and has no ambitions for deliberate external development, during the Kyushu War, the queen was in trouble, and after the war, the top master was empty, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and the successive generations of successors were tired, and the country was not as good as before, far inferior to the vigorous development of Eltenor after the war.

Be that as it may, Reins. Tiren still has its strength that cannot be ignored, in addition to its lofty spiritual status, since thousands of years ago, the country has been known as the "Magic Kingdom", with many talented people and five magic armies, which are powerful all over the world.

Among the three sages, Huang Taiji and Kadar also studied here, and their strength is strong, which can be seen in general.

Reins. It was customary for the queen to have only one daughter per generation, and as soon as she was born, she was determined to be the prince and received the strictest education.

During this period, he only practiced literature and did not practice martial arts, until he was nineteen years old.

Reins. Tylen's royal family is a very special bloodline, with a natural ability, every time she reaches the age of nineteen, the princess will perform a cleansing ceremony, pay homage to the gods of heaven and earth, and then the priests will perform a ceremony to open the princess's spiritual aura, after which, the princess will get a special ability of her own caste.

As for what kind of ability, it will depend on the princess's own surname, temperament, and future circumstances, in addition to this ability, the royal family is also a staggering celestial bone in the practice of magic, how many talented superhuman people, hundreds of years of hard cultivation of secret arts, they often after hearing it once, they will be at their fingertips, relying on this gift, the chairman of the World Magister Guild, this supreme glory, has always been concurrently served by the queen of the country.

The queens of all generations cherished the glory of this talent, and they all took the three principles of "fraternity, kindness, and nobility" to their own expectations, so they were known as the "mother of mankind".

Princess Leah, full name "Leah." Dis. Lapta. Cangyue", is the royal daughter of this generation.

Among the eastern countries, she enjoys the name of "talented woman" with her superior wisdom and beauty from her mother.

Two months later, Princess Leah will turn nineteen.

On the way to the temple and prepare for the work, Jinger disappeared for unknown reasons, which is the biggest news on the Wind Continent in recent times, Reyns. The kingdom of Tiren fell out for this and proposed a huge bounty.

When Lancelot saw the notice, he immediately had an idea.

"No, since they are willing to offer a reward of 100 gold coins, your brother and I will ask for a plan and send a letter, saying that Princess Liya is in the hands of Uncle Ben and wants them to pay 1,000 gold coins to ransom people. Lancelot said triumphantly.

"In this way, you don't have to really tie people up, if the deeds fail, there won't be any problems, you say, is this a good idea!"

After listening to the words, Xiaocao put down a big stone in his heart, not only for his identity not to be exposed, but also for the sake of this brother, not to be a criminal annihilator, and to be a person who seeks wealth and wealth without means, and secretly rejoices in his heart.

Thinking of the reason why he ran away, and then thinking of the faces of those old ministers in the court, he couldn't help but be very happy to be able to make a good fuss.

At that moment, Xiaocao began to seriously think about this flawed ticket kidnapping plan.

Lancelot casually ordered, "Anyway, you can write a letter and send it to Reyns later." At Tilon's communication office here, he said that Lia Chick is in the hands of our brothers, and let them ransom her tomorrow with a thousand gold coins. ”

"Shall I write the letter?"

"This kind of superficial work, do you want Uncle Ben to go out in person?"

Xiaocao nodded, she was confident that those old guys in the palace would definitely come up with money, but ...... How do I get the money?

Her brain turned, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face, she already had a belly case, and tomorrow, it will definitely be very exciting.

"Stinky boy, it's okay to laugh and laugh, pretend to be cool!" Lancelot scolded her, "Then, drive the boat back and find a way to get a meal!"

"Oh!"

Xiaocao answered, and was about to act, when he suddenly realized......

"Big brother. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Have you noticed that something is wrong? ”

"Where?"

"Your feet are submerged in water. ”

"Really?"

"And said no, the water has already flooded the footboard. ”

The two of them screamed, and then they realized that they didn't know when the bottom of the boat had broken several holes, and the turquoise lake was gurgling into the boat at an alarming speed.

Seeing this tragic situation, Lancelot and Xiaocao hurriedly tried to plug the hole in the bottom of the boat, but there were too many small holes, and they looked at the east side, and the west side entered the water again.

"Big brother. Where did you get this boat? ”

I don't know why, Xiaocao feels that the appearance of this ship is vaguely familiar, could it be ......

"Well, the uncle saw that it was parked on the shore, as if no one wanted it, so he pushed it into the water. ”

Lancelot shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Xiaocao's idea was immediately confirmed.

The boat had just sunk, and a very fast boat was whizzing past the two people who had been flooded to their waists, and on the boat, a very familiar boatman laughed loudly: "Whahaha! Two thieves, who didn't pay for Lao Tzu's boat, actually wanted to steal the boat and run away, and actually stole the same broken ship, and now they are doing it themselves......!

The agitated boat splashed a lot of water and sprinkled the faces of the two of them, but there was not much difference, and the lake water at this time had risen to the chest.

"Haha! Swimming twice a day is good for your body!"

As if knowing that he was at fault, Lancelot unusually didn't lose his temper, just laughed a scoundrel.

Before the grass could sigh, the water had already reached its chin.

However, I took a big breath and prepared for the long-distance swim that I would wait for.

"I swear I'll never be on the same boat with you again in my life...... Grunt... Gollum ......"

"Huh... Who knew they would steal the one in the morning...... Gollum "Gollum......

Gollum""...... Gurgling"

Just the next day, Reins. Tiren's office in Hangzhou received a kidnapping letter that turned the entire office upside down, stating that Princess Lia, who had been missing for a long time, had been subjected to the name "Demon Party Co., Ltd. - Hangzhou Branch"

was kidnapped by the secret organization and demanded to pay a ransom of 1,000 Imperial Gold Coins that night.

Attached to the letter, a jade seal was attached, and Princess Lia's handwritten letter for help, and after the jade seal was confirmed, it was also confirmed that it was Princess Lia's personal seal letter.

This letter was communicated by hyperspace, to Reynes. After the royal capital of Tiren, it immediately caused the royal family, extremely shocked, the ransom of a thousand gold coins, in the eyes of others, is indeed a huge amount of money, but in terms of the power of a country, it is only a drop in the bucket, what really makes them tremble is that the gangsters surrender to the letter and collect the ransom, there are only three hours between it, which is just a fatal time.

It would take nearly three hours to collect 1,000 gold coins from the territory of Altino and deliver them to Hangzhou, and it would take three and a half hours to recruit the generals in the neighboring regions to Hangzhou.

At present, there was a wave of "searching for thieves" in the royal family, so the incident was investigated by no less than 20 people, and there were also corresponding by-products during the period, using public power to smuggle, fraud, and accept bribes, and there were as many as 50 people who were exposed and sentenced to prison.

The place where the ransom was paid was set at an intersection, under a big tree in the center, and the gangsters demanded that the ransom be deposited in a package in the form of gold leaves and placed under the tree.

For fear of being coveted by well-intentioned people, the matter was classified as highly confidential and was not notified to the Altino authorities in advance, but by Reynes. The Tillen royal family, based in Hangzhou office, is solely responsible.

In order to prevent the gangsters from escaping, the staff of the office worked hard to mobilize the martial arts experts who could arrive in the shortest possible time, and in order to prevent the gangsters from escaping, they took all the surrounding three streets under control, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the gangsters.

In the middle of the night, when the moon was in the sky and the cool breeze was cool, the people who were ambushed in the buildings on both sides of the street held their breath and carefully watched every corner in all directions, not daring to give up any slight movement, waiting for the arrival of the gangsters.

When the bell in the distance rang twelve times, the heart that had been tense almost jumped out, but under the closely monitored tree, there was no figure on the three adjacent streets.

If it weren't for the evidence presented by the other party, the ambush personnel would almost have been mistakenly suspected that they had been teased, and just as they were about to give up, there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance.

"What sound?"

"I don't know, it doesn't sound right. ”

"Things have changed, and everyone has stepped up their vigilance. ”

"The road was blocked, and the neighbors moved immediately. ”

Not far away, a stable was set on fire, and the frightened and frenzied herd of horses was guided towards the place.

The frenzied horses broke through the blockade on the street, and in the blink of an eye, they were already running here.

The great change was abrupt, and the people in ambush lost their ability to adapt for a while.

In the chaos, things were completely out of control, and the more than 100 people who were ambushed on the surrounding floors all had the ability to protect themselves above the level, although they immediately flew out, but except for dodging or paying attention to the left and right, no one thought of rushing into the chaos to see if there were any gangsters hiding under them.

As a result, when the horses parted at the four intersections, the package that had been placed under the tree had long since disappeared.

Losing the ambush at the first time, only score in four directions, chase down.

Lancelot turned over, climbed onto the horse's back, tied the burden in his hand to his back, hugged the horse's neck, and sat steadily.

"Xiaocao, this kid's brain is not bad, the brothers join forces, but they can give it a vote ruthlessly. Lancelot muttered.

From beginning to end, this project can be said to be Lancelot's proposal and Xiaocao's planning.

After the two of them struggled to swim back to the shore, Xiaocao showed a surprising intelligence, and immediately began all kinds of plans, calculating the time, deciding how to withdraw money, how to get out, how to disperse and throw off the pursuers, and when Lancelot was dumbfounded, Xiaocao was already smiling and began to explain the whole plan.

Because the target was scattered, there were only a dozen people who found Lancelot's trail and followed closely, despite this, there were many of them who were good at light skills, and Lancelot's crotch was not a thousand miles of magic horses, and after chasing a few times in the lane, the distance between the two sides was greatly shortened, and it seemed that they were about to catch up.

"Hey, good guy, you're catching up. ”

Lancelot pressed under his feet, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and when he landed like an arrow, he sped up and opened up the distance between the two sides.

According to Lancelot's original intention, he would have fought with the enemy at this moment, but Xiaocao, who heard this opinion, rolled his eyes at that time, shook his head at the level of his brother's martial arts, and made a second step plan.

Lancelot turned his horse's head and rushed west.

Seeing this, the pursuers in the rear were even more vigorous, taking three steps and making two steps, and pursued them relentlessly.

The bandits in front of them are the only clues they have to track down the whereabouts of the princess, and if they get lost, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

After the two sides went around two more alleys, they suddenly widened in front of their eyes and arrived at a street.

"Thief! ”

One of the pursuers running at the front took a sharp breath, exerted the force under his feet, jumped up in stride, formed a grappling style with both hands, and pounced on Lancelot, trying to capture Lancelot before he could change direction again.

"Big man, thank you for your hard work. ”

Lancelot grinned, pushed the burden on his back with his backhand, and pushed it into the man's palm, and his left foot took the opportunity to tap on the horse's belly, and jumped up with the force, and turned over, and climbed onto the nearby house, and then jumped again, and disappeared into the vast night.

The big man used too much force, he couldn't turn around for a while, and he split his hands into two parts, and he actually pulled the burden into two, only to see the yellow leaves dancing in the air, floating with the wind, and the people behind saw it, and they stayed on the spot, unable to make a sound.

The 1,000 gold coins that should have been contained in the baggage turned into dead leaves like mud.

"Oh no, I fell for the thief's trick to leave the mountain. ”

Sensing the anger and remorse of Zhongji, he turned into a whip of humiliation and struck them hard, but fortunately, this feeling did not last long.

At the same time that Lancelot disappeared, as if it had been rehearsed in advance, the dark night sky was illuminated by dozens of Kong Ming lanterns, countless torches were lit around, and a black crowd of people ran out of the surrounding houses, all holding weapons in their hands, looking at the situation, I am afraid that there are no more than 100 people.

"What a thief! ”

The pursuers couldn't help but gasp, they had already guessed that it was an extremely large organization that was planning the case behind the scenes, and they couldn't imagine that the gangsters had a far-sighted plan to ambush the team here.

"Damn thief, you dare to rob by force, so tired that you wait for you for half a night, and don't surrender quickly. ”

The ambush was the local police of El Tieno, they received a secret report that there would be a group of vicious gangsters tonight, who were going to rob the shops here, although this sounded like a prank, but for the sake of caution, the local police department still selected personnel, and ambushed here, and sure enough, they saw a group of "vicious strongmen", intending to forcibly commit murder, and when they were all gearing up, they wanted to kill the "gangsters"

Catch it in one net so that you can be promoted and make a fortune.

Reins. Tiren's side, knowing at this moment that they had not only fallen for a fool, but also fallen into an ironic ambush by the enemy, had no choice but to flee for the sake of secrecy.

Of course, it was impossible for the ambushed officials to see their feats fly away, and the two sides repeated the chase battle in the laneway.

As the capture and escape continued, their biggest question was, probably, where did the 1,000 gold coins go?

Just under the big tree at the original crossroads, a small hand broke through the ground, and a thin figure climbed up from the hole dug in advance.

Xiaocao patted the dust on her body and picked up the burden at her feet, with a confident smile on her face.

Long before the kidnapping letter was sent, she dug a hole in the ground; When Tylen's investigators placed the burden under the tree, she was already hiding in it.

After that, Lancelot hid in the belly of the horse, and took another baggage, which confuses people's ears and eyes, and no one can see clearly in the dark night anyway.

In this way, the people who are in ambush will be led away, and if they are really chased, as long as they throw away the fake baggage, they can also get rid of the pursuers, and the real thing is already in the chaos, and the grass at the bottom of the tree takes the opportunity to take it away.

"The Tibetans in the underground and the tiger away from the mountain are just very old-fashioned tricks, but when the two sets are used together, the success rate is very high, for no other reason, just because people only see what they want to see. ”

When explaining the whole plan to Lancelot, Xiaocao said.

And what about the ambush of Eltino?

"That is the result of the mysticism of the state being reversed. Xiaocao smiled.

Just because I know, Reyns. The Tyren court will be afraid of the occurrence of scandals and variables that will cause extraneous branches, so it must solve it privately on its own and will not notify Eltino of the political axe, so Xiaocao in turn uses Eltinor's police to block the pursuers for Lancelot, but instead teaches Sferrondo's side to mess up.

It's just that, as the protagonist who should be saved, he is very enthusiastic, and he takes the initiative to plan all kinds of strategies to kidnap tickets, such a grass is really a big bad guy.

Lancelot hummed a ditty and leaped from roof to roof, leaping from one roof to the other, as fast as he could, detaching himself from the scene, thinking of a predetermined place to join the grass.

"Shameless thief! ”

"This kind of thing, let's wait until you catch up with Uncle Ben!"

Realizing that the appointed time had passed, minute by minute, Lancelot couldn't help frowning, the reason why he was delayed was that after him, there were several figures, chasing after him, it seemed that it was the policeman of Altino!

"Hmph! Tylen, or Altino, all look like they're annoying guys. ”

After running for half a night, Lancelot couldn't help but get a little impatient.

Lancelot did not formally learn light skills, but in the past, when he lived in the mountains and forests, he often crossed several streams that rose to his chest with iron balls tied to his feet, and went to fetch water more than ten miles away, and he often frolicked with apes and caught birds and birds among the branches.

However, being chased behind by others is not a fun pastime.

"It's more fun to run for a leisurely time, but running like this doesn't help your body at all. ”

Lancelot chattered and used his brain, trying to shake off the pursuers who were like maggots attached to the bones.

When the pursuers were surprised and wanted to catch up, Lance jumped off the roof and began to run left and right in the dark alleyway, and disappeared in a few clicks.

The pursuers could not help but curse loudly, the narrow streets here, coupled with the darkness of the night, and the extremely narrow field of vision, it was not easy to find the traces of the prisoners, and if not handled properly, it would disturb the people and cause more trouble.

Fighting back their rage, they jumped off the roof, trying to find the suspect.

Lancelot was not idle, he took advantage of the extra gap to sneak into a house he had seen before, intending to hide in it for a while and shake off his pursuers.

Climbing over the wall, there was a rather large garden, and in the dimness, it was impossible to see the scenery, judging by the size of the house, the owner of the house was not an ordinary commoner, but a wealthy family.

There was a faint voice outside the wall, and Lancelot did not hesitate to move to the nearest Reading Pavilion, climbed the big tree next to the house with his hands and feet, and with a kick on the soles of his feet, he stood on the eaves of the second floor, carefully pushed open the window, and Lancelot turned in.

As soon as I entered the house, the smell of incense and the embroidered bed in the room clearly indicated that this was a daughter's boudoir, and what was worse was that there was obviously someone sleeping on the bed, and it had been awakened.

Lancelot reacted quickly, immediately threw himself on the bed, wanting to strike first, but unexpectedly a step too late, the woman retreated to the coffee table earlier, Lancelot missed a blow, reflexively pounced, grabbed a sleeve, Lancelot was overjoyed, followed with his right hand, and grabbed the woman's throat.

In the dark, the two of them were full of arms, and through the thin silk cloth, Lancelot felt that the plump young ** under the silk coat, and the fragrance of his daughter came to his nose.

With no time to enjoy the time, Lancelot whispered and threatened, "Don't make a sound. As soon as you make a noise, I will kill you, I am just here to avoid the enemy, I will not ...... Alas!"

Before she finished speaking, she was grabbed by her backarm and twisted her right arm, and the woman actually knew martial arts, although her strength was not great, but her tricks were ingenious, and she actually fell straight out of Lancelot.

"You ......"

Lancelot was in pain at the joint, and just as he wanted to react, he suddenly heard a "brush", and the room suddenly lit up, but it was the woman who lit a few oil lamps.

By the faint light of the fire, Lancelot could see the woman's face.

The eyebrows are like autumn water, the long eyelashes can't help but tremble, and although there is some panic on the beautiful face, because of the arrival of the uninvited guest, there is a fearless smile on the lips, telling the invading outsiders that she is not a vulgar and weak woman who can only panic.

It's none other than the Ziyu girl who happened to meet on the shore of the West Lake yesterday and gave an umbrella in the rain, which made Lancelot fall in love at first sight.

At first sight, Lancelot was once again amazed by his unparalleled beauty, stood on the spot, and then remembered that he had mistakenly entered the beauty boudoir, and hurriedly apologized in a panic.

"Uhhh No, Miss Gui... No, girl..."

In his panic, Lancelot made a series of mistakes.

He tried his best to show a more elegant appearance, but he made mistakes again and again, first calling himself "Uncle Ben", and then quickly changing his words to "brother me", and then it was not appropriate to think about it, and finally changed it to "under it".

"In... In the next, dodging the enemy, mistakenly breaking into the girl's house, Ben... I'm sorry and I'm going to take my leave now. ”

Lancelot tried very hard to finish the scene in a peaceful voice, and before he finished speaking, his face flushed with shame.

After Lancelot finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to jump out of the window to leave, Zi Yu saw that he was dancing funny, which was very funny, and couldn't help but "poof", covering his sleeves and chuckling.

This smile is as straight as the spring breeze, and the hibiscus is blooming, and Lancelot is stupid.

Seeing Lancelot so stunned, Ziyu couldn't help but smile, put away his smile at the moment, and said in a clear voice: "The sages have clouds: "Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from afar?" “

Lancelot was overjoyed and nodded his head like garlic. Throw all the agreed time out of the clouds.

Zi Yu said gently: "Since this is the case, please ask Mr. to move to the front hall, sit for a while, and wait for the concubine to change her clothes to meet the guests." ”

Only then did Lancelot notice that what Ziyu was wearing was a general loose silk nightgown, with a pair of silky pink legs, completely exposed, and her posture was sultry.

Afraid that the beautiful woman would think that she was abrupt and didn't dare to look more, Lancelot hurriedly turned her head back.

Zi Yu shook the bell on the table and called up the servants downstairs.

The maidservant who came in saw that there was a strange man in the young lady's room, and she almost screamed, but was stopped by Ziyu's understatement.

"This gentleman has been my friend for many years, you should be hospitable, and you should not be rude. ”

In a word, the questions of the maidservants were stopped, and the young lady hurriedly waited for the change of clothes, and led Lancelot to the antechamber.

After Lancelot sat down, the servant brought a pot of tea and four-colored snacks.

Only then did I remember that the time to meet Xiaocao had passed, and I should have withdrawn early to meet Xiaocao.

But after thinking about it, I accidentally broke into my sweetheart's boudoir, and instead of being surprised, I was entertained, how often is such a good opportunity.

As soon as I thought of this, I was determined to seize the opportunity to get close to my sweetheart.

"Sir has been waiting for a long time. ”

A crisp voice was transmitted from the top, Ziyu was wearing a light blue shirt skirt, a plain scarf waist, and black silk-like hair, fixed with a wooden hairpin, and a few green silks hanging obliquely in front of her, exuding another smelting style.

"Sir, Gao's surname?"

"Lancelot. My name is Lancelot. ”

Completely different from when he first met the grass, Lancelot didn't even dare to breathe, let alone brag about it.

"Mr. Lancelot. As if seeing through Lancelot's nervousness, Zi Yu chuckled, "I don't ask, where are you from?"

Don't ask, why did you come here, and since you are a guest here, Mr. Lancelot can wait until you think it is safe to do so. “

Lancelot was surprised by this, with his current appearance, unkempt, unkempt, and a stout man, no matter who it was, seeing such a person, breaking through the window, he would definitely think that the robbers were coming, but this Ziyu girl was not afraid, and she also made tea and chatted with herself, which was not only not in line with the behavior of ordinary ladies, but also saw the heroic spirit of the high-rollers, which was really strange.

I suddenly remembered that Xiaocao had mentioned that this "Guanghan Bingqiong" was infected with an unknown disease and was extremely weak, but since we met, except for the occasional light cough or two, there is no sign of serious illness!

Isn't Xiaocao lying?

Looking carefully at Ziyu's appearance, her waist is extremely slender, delicate and not plump, full of bones, it looks like she is afraid that when the wind blows, she can be blown into the air.

On the porcelain-like delicate face, what emerges is a paleness that makes people palpitate, and it is indeed the appearance of a serious illness for a long time.

Perceiving Lancelot's gaze, Zi Yu said: "The concubine has been infected with a disease since she was a child, and she was treated too late and injured her lungs, so she has always been weak, if there is any gaffe, don't blame him." ”

After that, there were a few more light coughs.

Lancelot couldn't help but wonder when he thought back that such a delicate woman could throw herself out with a grappling.

"The concubine has been since she was a child, and she is good at reading the biography of the rangers in the market, and she has longed for the so-called rangers again and again, and has also learned a few sets of self-defense techniques that are not on the table. ”

"No, it's all my own fault, and I should have beaten it. ”

Hearing Ziyu's explanation, Lancelot was suspicious, and there was no more problem.

During the conversation, Lancelot found that Ziyu not only has a wide range of knowledge, but also knows everything about astronomy and geography, and this woman is very intelligent and observant.

After a meeting, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and before they knew it, it was already dawn, and the servant who served the side re-brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lancelot.

Lancelot raised his glass and wanted to drink, but he was stunned, only to see that in the magnetic cup, it was turbid and deep blue, it was a kind of dark green that was afraid of people, and when he got closer, he smelled of herbs, sour and pungent, and he wanted to vomit.

I just wanted to ask, but I saw that Ziyu's face was full of expectation, for the heart of the Bojia people, Lancelot turned his heart sideways, held back the feeling of nausea, and drank the tea.

The bitter tea entered his throat, and the sour smell was so unbearable that it almost made Lancelot want to vomit out all the contents of his stomach.

"Alas!" Zi Yu sighed and stood up, the original expectation had turned into disappointment.

"Ziyu is unwell and can't talk for a long time, please retire first, sir, please take care of yourself. ”

After speaking, he did not look back again, and left surrounded by the maidservants.

Lancelot stayed on the spot, unable to understand what was happening, for a long time, seeing that Ziyu had no intention of coming out again, and the sky was already bright, he had to leave the gate in despair.

Seeing the closed door, Lancelot sighed to himself, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and he actually swept people out of the house, didn't the two of them talk very happily? Why did they suddenly ......

Just as he was thinking about himself, in mid-air, a handkerchief floated in front of him, Lancelot picked it up and looked at it, and there were words written on the handkerchief:

Mrs. Girl, Miss Gui, brother is in the next uncle, not because he had a fate in his previous life, but because he was wrong in this life;

It is best to meet for the first time, meet for no reason and end early, Luoqiong is full of gardens with snow, and the moon often sweeps the jade steps.

The handwriting is beautiful, the rhetoric is witty, and the signature at the end of the poem is "Ziyu", which is Ziyu's handwriting, Lancelot looked at it again and again, although he did not understand the meaning of the poem, but since the other party was willing to give away the personal things, then, is it a representative......

Hope for yourself!

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but dance on the street.

Ziyu, who saw this scene on the balcony, smiled at Lancelot's movements again, "What an interesting person!"

Reflecting the first morning light in the east, she coughed softly, her body is not as good as a year, could it be that it is really like the song in the city, this Qionghua, really can't live through the spring of twenty years?

After a while, Zi Yu whispered, "Is he the person of the heavenly spirit that the master said?"

The room behind him, under the illumination of the sun, was empty and could not see half a figure, but a deep, cold voice sounded: "Yes, to open the blood lock of the ten directions, you must sacrifice the blood of the heavenly spirit people." Your task is to approach him for the time being, and keep the spirits safe until the hour comes, and there is no need to ask about the rest. ”

It was a man who spoke, and his voice was reminiscent of the sound of glaciers rubbing against each other.

Only hearing its voice, but not seeing its people, makes the scene particularly weird.

Zi Yu was silent, just let the sound of a gentle cough resound in the room.

At dusk, in the West Lake, which was originally crowded, a tall and extraordinary young man strode down the street with a flying attitude.

Beside him, another petite, handsome young man walked side by side with him.

Due to the outstanding appearance of the two, they attracted the curious eyes of the female surname on the road from time to time.

These two people, naturally, are Lancelot and Xiaocao.

Because there was no trace of Lancelot, and the grass like a fire burning his eyebrows, after shaving Lancelot fiercely after the meeting, the two deposited the ransom money into the agreed underground bank, and then went to the most expensive bathhouse, freshened up, and changed into the most luxurious clothes.

When they met at the entrance of the bathhouse, they were both given each other's makeovers, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Cutting off his long sloppy hair, shaving off his beard over the years, and putting on a first-class outfit, Lancelot was reborn as if he were a heroic man.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad shoulders, tall and strong, although not handsome, but there is an extraordinary manly spirit, which attracts people's attention.

Xiaocao is even more terrible, washing away the dirt and dirt all over the body, returning to its original appearance, putting on men's clothes, looking even more handsome, elegant manners, just like a beautiful son, which immediately caused a stir, and taught Lancelot that he almost fell off his jaw in shock.

Finally got out of the screaming group of women, Xiaocao came up with an idea and bought an alley as a place to live.

When everything was settled, Lancelot proposed to come to the West Lake, and Xiaocao, who had vowed not to take a boat again, had no choice but to follow aside, and the two brothers walked around the West Lake.

After a long detour, the two got on the broken bridge, remembering that two days ago, because they had no money to pay the bill, they ran all the way from the restaurant to here, and Lancelot couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"By the way, according to you, what do you mean by the poem that Miss Ziyu gave me?"

Since he came back yesterday, Lancelot has been pestering the grass and asking for the translation of poetry, although he himself is literate, he has not read much, and cannot do such work as appreciating poetry and lyrics.

Whenever she saw Lancelot mention Ziyu, that kind of smirking face, Xiaocao felt extremely uncomfortable, but deep down, she couldn't find a reason to object, so she had to explain it when she couldn't help it.

"There is nothing in the first few sentences, 'Luoqiong is full of snow in the garden, and the moon often sweeps the jade steps. "It's the eldest lady who compares herself to Luoqiong, and wants you to be the moon!"

"What does that mean?"

"What do you mean by calling you to dinner!"

Seeing Lancelot's excitement, Xiaocao was angry.

Qionghua is a plant that blooms at night and withers in the early morning, it is destined to see the light, and now Ziyu is more than Qionghua, but it is clearly said that "waiting for the moon", the intention can be known without asking.

"Wha...... I told you a long time ago that your brother and I are amazingly attractive, and no woman can resist, and it was indeed confirmed!"

"It's strange, you're less stinky and beautiful! That's just a pre-condolence for the breakup. ”

"Stinky boy, dare to speak to your brother like this. ”

Lancelot chased after the grass, and the two of them ran off the broken bridge one after the other.

"Amazing?"

Come on!, Xiaocao whispered.

Lancelot's appearance, although he is heroic and outstanding, is not a beautiful man, in terms of talent and martial arts, he is also useless, is it said that property?

While running, I was suddenly surprised to see that the broken bridge was as gorgeous as a fire under the reflection of the setting sun.

"Acquaintance with the Broken Bridge and the First Gift of Umbrella", this is a portrayal of Lancelot and Ziyu's first encounter, however, pondering the meaning of the text, it is not a good sign!

Xiaocao was shocked.

For Lancelot's safety, Xiaocao secretly worries, her wisdom beyond ordinary people has vaguely smelled a hint of uneasiness from the invisible future.

"Since you have made up your mind to pursue others, you have to cheer up, do a few big things, and get ahead, so that you can be a good girl from other people's families. Knowing that the matter is irreparable, Xiao Cao said sourly.

In front of me, I can only take one step, and I can count it as one step.

Unaware of the abnormality of the grass, Lancelot nodded yes, and suddenly, an object was reflected in his retina, and not far ahead, there was a tall tower, towering, and in the sunset, the glazed tiles emitted a brilliant brilliance.

At the bottom of the tower, a group of people crowded the tower to the ground, and I don't know why they came?

"Hey, what's that?"

"That's Leifeng Tower. ”

"Leifeng Tower! is it the one in the Legend of the White Snake?"

"That's right!"

Lancelot was very interested, before, the dead old ghost had told him the story of the White Snake, and he hated Xu Xian inside, saying that this man was despicable and shameless, cowardly and incompetent, and when he was said by others, he was stupid to betray his family, and the eldest husband must not be like this.

At that time, Lancelot also had a close relationship with these words, a man, if he could not defend his wife and children, he would not be qualified to become a man.

"What are those guys doing? Is there anything good to see?"

"No, they're speculators who have come in search of treasure. ”

"Treasure hunting?"

Xiaocao explained with the book, Leifeng Pagoda every August, it will emit a strange brilliance, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival night is in the morning, an amazing aura of spiritual light, straight to the ninth night, the fool and the foolish woman see, it is called a treasure in the world, competing to worship and worship, the matter spreads, and also attracts countless high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, come here to hunt for treasure, want to see if they can get lucky to become, the person who is destined to be the treasure of heaven.

"Altino political axe, so big-hearted, don't you care?"

According to Lancelot's thoughts, if there is really a treasure, I am afraid that the political axe has already been nationalized, and where will someone come to find it.

"It's not that they don't care, they don't have the ability to manage. Xiaocao laughed.

The appearance of Baoguang, has been more than 1,000 years, during this time, the people who came to hunt for treasure, searched all over the Leifeng Tower, but there was no harvest, Al Tieno political axe, the surname Suo adopted a completely open policy, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, held a treasure hunting conference, let people go here to hunt for treasure, just on the side of the ambush soldiers, ready to come to wait for the rabbit.

"Okay, I've decided. ”

Lancelot's eyes lit up, and his face looked full of energy and wanted to do something.

Hearing this, Xiaocao's heart was shocked, in the past two days, every time Lancelot said this, he would definitely cause trouble, and then suffered, and it was Xiaocao who collected the mess behind her back, so she begged the gods and Buddhas of heaven at the moment, the four heavenly kings, hoping that this big brother would not have any more strange ghost ideas, such as saying: Shangji Yuan or something.

"I'm going to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival treasure hunt. Make a name for yourself, get ahead, be a big hero, and then pursue Miss Ziyu well. ”

Although Xiaocao was displeased, she also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Got it! You do a good job, I will help you." ”

"Until then, though......"

Xiaocao almost didn't jump, "but", what is "but", what does this crazy big brother want to do?

The light in Lancelot's eyes was blazing, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, causing the crowd to look sideways.

"Haha...... Heroes in the world are lustful, and since they want to be heroes, how can they not be lustful. Now that you have money, of course you have to squander it. ”

Lancelot grabbed Xiaocao and laughed loudly: "Little brother, let's go to the Academy!"

"Jiyuan, Jiyuan, why is it Jiyuan? Don't you have anything else in your head but Jiyuan?"

The grass has gold stars in his eyes, and his words are incoherent, so he almost foams at the mouth.

"Let's go!"

Regardless of the grass's screams, Lancelot dragged people away.

"Let's go, brother, today I'm going to take you to experience the taste of adulthood. Wow-haha..."

"Wow, I don't want it, don't drag me along, let it go......"

The long wail echoed in the West Lake again.

The eastern sky, a crescent moon, slowly rising, a little starlight, began to replace the sunset, with the arrival of night, many people or voluntarily or involuntarily, facing the coming future, among them, is a blessing or a curse, no one knows.

People's happiness lies in the fact that no one knows what will happen in the next moment, and in this regard, the current grass and Lancelot, they are all happy.
