Deep Grudge Chapter 1
Yunsang country
In the corner of Luofu sat a dilapidated courtyard, and a little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old was curled up alone under a withered yellow plane tree.
The breeze blew, the yellow leaves fell one by one, and the wind whistled in my ears.
Ming Yiqing sat on the wall, looking at the girl under the tree and frowning slightly, how could she be so fateful?
Before Ming Yiqing could say anything, Luo Jiu took the lead in raising his head and said in a childish voice: "Who are you?" ”
Ming Yiqing jumped off the wall in one step, with a smile on his face, and asked instead of answering, "Who do you think I am?" ”
Luo Jiu opened his innocent eyes and said in a milky voice: "I don't know, then let's leave quickly, otherwise my father will be angry when he sees it." ”
Ming Yiqing squatted down, carefully curled Luo Jiu's arm, and said helplessly: "He has beaten you like this, you still call him father?" ”
How could anyone come to such a side courtyard?
"But a father is a father."
Looking at Luo Jiu's innocent face, Ming Yiqing's eyes were full of pampering, "Xiao Jiu, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”
"Worship you as a teacher?"
Luo Jiu may be too young to know what apprenticeship means.
She bit her fingers and said suspiciously, "Why should I worship you as a teacher?" If I worship you as a teacher, I won't go hungry? ”
"Of course, not only will you not go hungry, but you can also fly the eaves and walk the wall, and you can do whatever you want."
"Okay, I worship you as a teacher, and I will call you master in the future!"
Ming Yiqing took out a snow-white pill from his cuff as if he were juggling, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance.
"Well, eat it."
But seeing the things in Ming Yiqing's hand, Luo Jiu took a few steps back, there was fear in her eyes, and she said, "Master, is this medicine bitter?" ”
"The medicine my father asked me to drink was so bitter and bitter before, but Xiao Jiu was very well-behaved and drank it."
Ming Yiqing touched Luo Jiu's head distressedly, and said softly: "This is not medicine, it's sugar, Xiao Jiu taste it, it's sweet." ”
Luo Jiu, who was half-convinced, still swallowed the pill hesitantly, and then felt a warm feeling in his heart and lungs, and his mouth was also sweet.
She smiled sweetly, "It's really sweet!" The master is amazing! ”
It was obviously a stranger who met for the first time, but Luo Jiu looked at Ming Yiqing in front of him with an indescribable cordiality, as if the two had already known each other.
Looking at the empty Suoqiu Pavilion again, Ming Yiqing asked out loud: "Is there only Xiao Jiu alone in this big courtyard?" ”
Luo Jiu shook his head, pointed to the closed door and said, "There is still Sister Hua Sheng, but Sister Hua Sheng is still sleeping, and the master can't disturb Sister Hua Sheng." ”
"Then the master is going to see Sister Hua Sheng, okay?"
Before Luo Jiu could refuse, he was already held in Ming Yiqing's arms, and his cold little hand was also tightly held in Ming Yiqing's hand.
The long-lost warmth came to her heart, Luo Jiu forgot what to say for a while, and she leaned gently on Ming Yiqing's shoulder.
couldn't help but snort a hache, I don't know if it was the pill that worked just now, Luo Jiu's originally pale face eased a little.
Pushing open the door, this place can be described as shabby, there is really a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl lying on the bed, it should be Sister Hua Sheng in Luo Jiu's mouth.
But Hua Sheng's face was pale, and he was angry, and he was about to die.
Ming Yiqing frowned, and sighed helplessly, "It's just that I didn't look at you for a while, and something like this happened, no matter what, maybe it's your fate." ”
"It stands to reason that I can't interfere, but I really can't stand it as a teacher."
He took out another black pill from his sleeve, stuffed it into Hua Sheng's mouth, and said lightly: "As a teacher, you can only do this step." ”
Five years later
There is a restaurant on the most lively main street in Yunsang country, and people come and go, so it is not lively.
The plaque hung high reads the three big characters of Chaisang Pavilion, and the bursts of wine wafting from it all attract people to stop.
This is not only a restaurant with a hot business, but also an assassination organization in private, as long as you give enough money, you can take any job.
In addition, it is rumored that there is also a divine doctor who lives here, and as long as he is lucky enough to meet this miracle doctor, he will be cured within half a month.
This miracle doctor is not Luo Jiu, but Luo Jiu's master, Ming Yiqing. It's not pretending to be mysterious, but Ming Yiqing is really unpredictable.
Originally, he wanted to let Luo Jiu practice medicine instead of him, but Luo Jiu's medical skills were mediocre, but he was quite accomplished in poison.
Luo Jiu drank all the sake in front of him, and on the third floor, he could see all the Luo Mansion not far away, which was an excellent observation position.
It is also located at the junction of East Street and West Street, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and the places that can be reached are also accessible in all directions, and the geographical location is excellent.
After a while, Nu Ji walked in, she was the owner of the restaurant Chaisang Pavilion on the surface, but she was actually Luo Jiu's most powerful assistant.
Nu Ji said respectfully: "Pavilion Master, it's ready, this dart from Luofu is in the afternoon today, and it's still too late to leave." ”
Luo Jiu nodded slightly, this Luo Sheng is also very cunning, except for him, no one can grasp the specific traces of the goods, and it took him more than half a month to find out.
Luo Sheng was not only an official in the court, but also sold weapons in private, smuggled goods after buying off officials in the armory, and the new king's accession to the throne was somewhat restrained, but now it seems to be revived.
"Send the order down, send ten guards and twenty guards to stop me."
"Yes."
Looking at the white mask in his hand, Luo Jiu hooked the corners of his lips and said in a low voice: "Father, don't blame me, after all, my daughter's expenses have been a lot lately." ”
According to the route given by Nu Ji, Luo Jiu and a group of people quickly rushed to the front of the dart delivery team.
Located on a cliff with a narrow mountain path on one side and dense forest on the other, it is a great ambush site.
Today's climate seems to be a little dry, the sun has dispelled the original chill, and the dense trees are close together, letting in the broken sunlight.
Before the team could get closer, Concubine Shiyu, who had been sent by Luo Jiu to investigate, rushed back, looking a little anxious.
"Pavilion Master, good news, bad news."
Luo Jiu was still observing the terrain and said casually, "What's the good news?" ”
Concubine Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nu Ji is right, the people who escorted the darts are rushing here, and after this success, there must be a great harvest." ”
"Where's the bad news?"
"In addition to us, it seems that there is a group of people who are also eyeing this shipment."
This made Luo Jiu interested, "Luo Sheng has been planning for half a lifetime, and it took Nu Ji more than half a month to find out the news, and someone else is the first to get there?" ”
Could it be that Luo Sheng deliberately released the news? But because of the last rebellion, Luo Sheng shouldn't have been able to wait that long.
What's more, now that Yunqi is stepping up the training of recruits, there is a great demand for weapons, and it is precisely because of this that Luo Sheng has an opportunity to take advantage of.
He definitely won't let go of this opportunity, what is the origin of that team?
Luo Jiu asked, "Do you see how many people there are?" ”
"They were buried on the other side, afraid to approach, for fear that their location would be exposed."
Before Luo Jiu could comprehend what Concubine Shiyu said, the people who were escorting the darts had already come over, and there were more than twenty batches of good goods.
Dozens of people tightly surrounded the goods in the middle, each of them was a strong man, and the big knife at his waist flashed with cold light.
It seems that Luo Sheng has made a lot of money this time, if he succeeds in robbing the dart this time, I don't know how long Luo Sheng will hurt!
As long as I think of Luo Sheng's embarrassed face, I feel very happy!
At the head of the dart was a young man in black with narrow sleeves, who looked weaker than the people in the team, more like a weak scholar.
But the ink hair tied up high by the red ribbon made it more heroic, the sword eyebrows were inserted horizontally into Yunfeng, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was clearly a chic young man.
He had a long black sword hanging from his waist, with dark green spikes and red gems inlaid on them, which looked very valuable.
The slender fingers were still playing with a black ant, looking up from time to time to look ahead.
He reclined on the wooden box, looked at the terrain in front of him, raised his hand slightly, and the whole team stopped.
A big man walked to the young man's side, bent over and asked, "Young master, what are you going to do next?" ”
The person known as the young master smiled lightly, "Even if you want to rob the dart, it should be the section ahead, let's rest for a while, the brothers are also tired." ”
"Yes."
Seeing that there was no movement in the dart team, Concubine Shiyu couldn't bear it anymore, "Pavilion Master, why don't they move?" ”
Luo Jiu just smiled lightly, "But anyone who has a brain will stay and take a look at the situation, once they pass by here, they will definitely die." ”
But what Luo Jiu is worried about now is not the dart team, but the other team of guys who don't know the origin, don't be your own enemy.
After a long while, Yao Sang said lightly: "Patience is quite good, let them go down and let them pass by car, each time with an interval of a quarter of an hour." When we reach the pass of Half Moon Pass, we will meet again, understand? ”
Soon, the big man standing beside him understood the meaning.
"That's right." Yao Sang added, "Let them whistle after they pass, but don't make a noise. ”
In this way, whether or not someone is ambushing here, the greatest interests can be guaranteed not to be harmed.
Finally waiting for the dart team to move, Concubine Shiyu couldn't help but be a little excited, "Pavilion Master, they are here!" ”
But Luo Jiu didn't mean to act, just lightly ordered: "Without my order, no one can do anything, I want to see what that group of people want to do. ”
In this regard, Concubine Shiyu nodded again and again, "What the pavilion master said is that no matter which side wins, it will be excellent for us. ”
Looking at the interval between them, Luo Jiu was a little puzzled, what kind of trouble is this?
As the fourth whistle sounded, Luo Jiu soon sensed Yao Sang's intentions and frowned slightly, this is not good for himself.
But before Luo Jiu gave the order, the sound of fighting came, and five carriages had already passed, and after that, there was really no oil and water to fish.
It looks like the people over there have already done it, and they're not stupid.
Hearing the sound, the people who escorted the darts all picked up their broadswords and looked like they were waiting for battle.
Yao Sang still looked like he didn't care, the origin of the person who dared to rob this dart must not be simple, and he must have been preparing for a long time.
He stretched and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take a detour, and a few of you stop them." ”
The big man who had always been obedient to Yao Sangyan was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Our Yao Family Dart Bureau has never flinched from the battle, young master, they are not necessarily our opponents, maybe they are just a group of small thieves, so why be afraid?" ”
Yao Sang narrowed his eyes slightly, his whole body revealing a dangerous aura, and he said word by word: "Are you disobeying my orders? ”
His voice was soft, but it was deadly threatening.
Dahan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "The subordinates don't dare, everything is up to the young master's arrangement, but, young master, do you really want the goods on the first five carriages?" ”
"If they want it, give it to them."
"Yes......"
Seeing that the team of the darts had the intention of retreating, Luo Jiu said lightly: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, it's time for us to take action and block their way." ”
Facing the sudden appearance of a group of people wearing masks, Yao Sang snorted a halche, "Oh, you have a lot of people this time, you look up to us." ”
Luo Jiu rode on a black horse and said lightly: "I have heard of the reputation of the Yao family's dart bureau for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen the demeanor of the young master of the Yao family. ”
"Since you're here to rob darts, why are you saying these polite words? But the leader turned out to be a woman, and this was the first time I'd seen it. ”
Luo Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "I'll smile at these things unceremoniously." ”
"The little girl's tone is quite big, don't be unable to eat it, I will be distressed, master."
On the other side, Takeichi opened the wooden box on the carriage and frowned slightly.
He walked up to Yun Chuan and said, "Childe, it's all ordinary and inferior iron tools, it looks like we've been deceived." This Luo Sheng is very cunning! ”
Yun Chuan chuckled and put on his mask, and said softly: "I think this is just their way out, the thing should be behind, let's go over." ”
"Yes."
But before he could take a few steps, another man in black ran over, looking a little nervous.
"Childe!"
Finally relieved, Zhu Er said: "Childe, there was also a dispute over there, and there is a group, a group of people wearing masks, I don't know what the origin is." ”
Yun Chuan's face changed, "Let's go, go over and take a look, these things can't all be taken up by them." ”
By the time Yun Chuan arrived, this side was almost over, all the big men were lying on the ground wailing, and Yao Sang was also tied up by Luo Jiu.
Yun Chuan who suddenly appeared quickly surrounded Luo Jiu and the others, Luo Jiu looked at Yun Chuan and a few people, it seemed that his speed was still a little slower, and he originally thought that it would be over within a quarter of an hour.
In this way, the people over there may not know what is happening here, and when they leave, they will get some.
It's just that they're a little faster than you think.
Yao Sang snorted lightly and laughed, "This is the legendary praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." Hahaha, why don't you fight? ”
Luo Jiu glanced at Yao Sang and said coldly: "It's just that you talk a lot, anyway, you can't take the goods with you today." ”
She turned her head to look at Yun Chuan, who was the leader, and said with a smile: "This brother, since we have taken a fancy to the same batch of goods, it means that we still have the same interests." It's better to be peaceful, carve up these things, after all, I am the main force, you three and I are good!? ”
It was Zhuyi who spoke, "You have a pretty big shelf, we don't mind snatching it from you, acquaintances, you better leave by yourself." ”
Concubine Shiyu clasped her hands and said, "My pavilion master is talking to your master, what are you talking about?" Look at the way you look at no one, it's really disgusting! ”
"You!"
"Takeichi."
Yun Chuan called out to Zhu Yi, looked at Luo Jiu who was wearing a mask, and said lightly: "Give me a reason to divide up." ”
"Simple."
Luo Jiu jumped off the horse and took a few steps forward, "I'm a woman, you a big man shouldn't bully a woman." What's more, we have just dealt with this group of opponents, and if you make a move now, you must not want to be an unkind hypocrite, right? ”
"What's the truth about that?!"
Takeichi couldn't help but speak.
Yao Sang on the side was pulling the corners of his mouth wildly, swaggering in front of himself to discuss how to divide his own things, and he was reasonable, didn't he consider his feelings? !
Concubine Shiyu lowered her voice and said, "Pavilion Master, I don't think we are necessarily their opponents, why not give it a try?" ”
Luo Jiu shook his head slightly, "No, they are not as simple as taking a fancy to me, it is best to be careful." ”
Both sides are constantly testing each other's details, and neither of them is willing to retreat.
A few mournful bird chirpings broke the eerie silence for a short time, and the cold wind set off layers of green waves on the dense trees.
Yun Chuan hooked the corners of his lips, "If I kill you all, no one will know that I'm a villain, right?" So your reasons don't convince me. ”
Luo Jiu threw a piece of white ring jade straight over, and said lightly: "In the Xia Chaisang Pavilion Lord, if the prince raises his noble hand today, there must be a lot of cooperation between us in the future." ”
Concubine Shiyu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Pavilion Master......"
But Luo Jiu just glared at her, and Concubine Shiyu didn't say anything anymore.
For Yun Chuan, who suddenly appeared, Luo Jiu had his own plans. The people who know Luo Sheng's cargo transportation route this time are by no means idle people, no matter how they say it, it will have some influence, if Chai Sangge can establish a cooperative relationship with him, it may not be a bad thing.
Maybe it's a great opportunity for Chaisangkaku.
"Chaisang Pavilion?"
Yun Chuan gently repeated the name, Chai Sang Pavilion is a force that has only emerged in Yun Sang Country in the past few years, and he has not found out the relevant information for the time being.
I didn't expect that the mysterious Pavilion Master of Chaisang Pavilion was just a little girl, which was quite surprising.
"Okay, I'll be three and you'll be seven."
Seeing that Yunchuan boldly agreed, Luo Jiuyi was overjoyed and said, "I just like a refreshing person like you." ”
She turned her head to look at Concubine Shiyu again and said, "Did you hear that?" I'm seven and he's three, take our things and let's go. ”
Concubine Shiyu nodded.
Yao Sang didn't know when he cut the rope that bound him, and while everyone was confronting, he jumped onto an ancient tree and said loudly: "You are lucky today, this little master will not play with you, so he will take the first step." ”
Zhuyi on the side planned to chase after him, but was stopped by Yun Chuan, "Just let him go, little ant, don't be afraid." ”
Watching Luo Jiu leave with his group in a mighty manner, Zhu Yi was a little depressed, "Childe, if we let them leave like this, won't our efforts over the past few days be in vain?" ”
"Not necessarily."
He looked at the jade pendant lying in the palm of his hand and said, "If you can take the Chaisang Pavilion for your own use, it will be much better than this thing." ”
"But how can Childe be sure they're not liars?"
"Wouldn't you know if you checked?"
Zhuyi stopped talking, but silently began to count the remaining things, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, this was the first time he was so aggrieved.
Luo Jiu, who had returned to Suoqiu Pavilion, had already changed back into tattered clothes, and she was still sitting at the table thinking about what had happened during the day.
She heard the person in the lead call the person next to her, Takeichi? This is a good breakthrough, maybe you can find out the identity and origin of that person, and put yourself in the initiative.
At this time, Hua Sheng came over, and she said lightly: "Miss, today the master went to the Chaisang Pavilion again, saying that he wanted to see the pavilion master, and asked the pavilion master to kill one person." ”
Luo Jiu snorted disdainfully, "Let him continue to wait, just say that the pavilion master Shenlong didn't see the head at the end, and he didn't know where to run." ”
With the assistance of his master, he founded Chaisangge not only to establish his own power, but also for money, well, in the final analysis, it was still for his own power.
But only what Luo Sheng wanted to entrust, he just wanted to be embarrassed, so that he felt comfortable in his heart.
But this Luo Sheng is really cunning, and this Yao Sang is also very bad.
This time, only half of the things I brought back were real, and the other half was some broken copper and iron, which had little value.
Unexpectedly, after working hard for half a month, Luo Sheng finally won the game. But this also reminded Luo Jiu that Luo Sheng should not be underestimated.
"How's my mother doing?"
Hua Sheng raised his eyes and looked around, and said in a low voice: "I have already asked Madame to take the medicine given by Miss, and my condition has been much better recently, but Madame is still reluctant to leave Luofu." ”
Luo Jiu frowned slightly, "Forget it, this matter is not in a hurry, we will come for a long time." ”
The sycamore tree in the courtyard was crumbling, and Luo Jiu said lightly: "Find a time to cut this sycamore, the sky is lonely." ”
"Yes."
As if thinking of something, Luo Jiu suddenly said: "By the way, let Nu Ji check the name of Zhuyi, the more carefully the better." Also, you went out to buy some things this time. ”
Thanks to the fact that everyone in Luo Mansion regards Luo Jiu as a transparent person and puts her here to fend for herself, otherwise, Luo Jiu's actions may not be so smooth.
The sky in the distance gradually darkened, and the stars gradually revealed, Luo Jiu took advantage of the night to walk through Luofu, and no one would know what happened tonight.
