In the small courtyard in the mountains and countryside, the yard is stacked with fence walls, and the thatched red brick house. In the courtyard, on a wooden recliner, Jiang Lingzhu leaned lazily on it.

He wore a thin silk handkerchief over his face, covering his entire face.

Today's sun is tepid and hot, and the sun makes him feel comfortable. From time to time, the breeze blows his clothes and hair, and he has a sense of fluttering fairy feeling. There was also a table made of bamboo next to him, on which a jug of wine was placed.

In the distance, Hua Che flew in with light skills, he came to the courtyard, and saw Jiang Lingzhu lying motionless on the recliner, so he walked over by himself.

"Ling Zhu, what are you doing here?" Hua Che said with concern

"Bask in the sun!" Jiang Lingzhu was still motionless, and said three words tepidly

Hua Che walked to the table and saw that there was wine on the table, so he reached for it. As soon as his fingers touched the wine jar, he only heard Jiang Lingzhu's voice and said lukewarmly, "Don't touch it!" This wine is for myself. ”

Hua Che chuckled, "It's just a pot of wine, are you there?" ”

Jiang Lingzhu got up, and the silk handkerchief on his face also fell to his body. The face under the silk handkerchief, under the sunlight, is as beautiful as white jade.

Jiang Lingzhu chuckled, "No! Jiang Lingzhu said, stretched out his hand to take the wine jar in his hand, and after taking two sips of himself, he handed it to Hua Che, "Do you still drink it?" ”

Hua Che didn't mind, picked up the wine jar, and took a few sips. Hua Che snorted lightly, "It's like I've ever disliked you." ”

Jiang Lingzhu lay back on the recliner again, "Are your things done?" ”

Hua Che nodded, "It's done!" ”

Jiang Lingzhu sighed lightly, "Senior brother, this deserted village is really a good place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there are not so many calculations. ”

"Do you like it?"

Jiang Lingzhu nodded.

Hua Che took another sip of wine, "Okay, then when we all take revenge and complete our respective tasks, we will make a home here!" ”

"Home?" Jiang Lingzhu read out the word carefully. Ten years ago, he also had a home, but due to the emperor's suspicion, his home was bloodied overnight, and corpses were everywhere.

Later, although he encountered rags, his heart was still like catkins floating in the wind, and his heart was like duckweed chasing water. After Jiang Lingzhu was rescued by rags, he was bent on revenge, but he never thought about what he would do after revenge?

This body is like a house, where is my hometown?

After hearing Hua Che mention home today, his eyes looked at the sky, and colorful clouds filled the sky. He seemed to see the colorful clouds changing in the air, and the clouds became a small courtyard, and there were him, Hua Che, and the master in the courtyard, and they lived very happily. In his spare time, he chatted, practiced swords, read books, and when he was bored, he pulled his senior brother and drank wine in the courtyard, a pot of wine, two people, three dishes, just chatting, in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. Wait until they are seventy or eighty, and then slowly savor the memories, and this life will be complete.

Jiang Lingzhu thought, the corners of his mouth unconsciously overflowed with a sweet smile, that smile was extremely gentle, and his eyes were full of longing.

"Ling Zhu?" Hua Che called softly.

"Huh?" Jiang Lingzhu responded in hindsight

"What do you think? So seriously? ”

"I won't tell you!"

Jiang Lingzhu said, then got up and left, Hua Che followed behind, and the two entered the house one after the other.

Ruan Anze rode a horse and carried his bags to Yuyang County. This trip is to meet his wife, who has been destined to be a baby since childhood, but has never met him.

Early this morning, on the outskirts of the city, on the gravel road, the groom set up a carriage and moved slowly, and the carriage was passing by Ruan Anze on horseback. After coming to Yuyang County, Ruan Anze turned over and dismounted, he led the horse to walk in the city, drove for a few days, did not eat well, and was hungry.

In the distance, a stall selling soy milk caught his eye. Ruan Anze led the horse and walked over. An Xiang, who was busy in front of the stall, saw a guest coming, and greeted warmly: "This son, what do you need?" ”

Ruan Anze tied the horse to the side and responded, "Let's have a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk." ”

"Okay, Childe will come in and sit down for a while, and I'll give it to you right away."

Ruan Anze approached the stall and casually found an empty seat to sit down. An Xiang was quick with her hands and feet, and after a while, the buns and soy milk were on the table.

An Xiang smiled: "Childe, please use it slowly!" ”

When An Xiang just retired to work, Lu Biao walked to An Xiang's stall. An Xiang put down the work in her hand and asked, "Brother Lu, what should you eat?" ”

Lu Biao took out the note prepared in advance, and read it while reading: "Master Hou wants two buns, a bowl of soy milk, and if the son of the world is ......"

After hearing this, Ruan Anze on the side already knew it in his heart. guessed: "He should be a descendant of the Hou Mansion." ”

While Ruan Anze was thinking, Lu Biao had already walked to an empty table next to Ruan Anze and sat down to eat steamed buns. Ruan Anze saluted Lu Biao, "This brother, dare to ask, but is it from the Beiyu Marquis Mansion?" ”

Although Lu Biao is a martial artist, he has been in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion for so many years, and he still understands the minimum etiquette. He clenched his fists and saluted back, "Exactly!" ”

Ruan Anze said politely: "Brother Tai, I came here to meet the Marquis of Beiyu." Can you please introduce me? ”

Lu Biao is a cheerful person, he said with a smile: "It's easy to say, wait a minute, we can work together, I can help you introduce you, but if you can't see it, then I don't know." ”

"It doesn't matter! Brother Tai can help me, and I am already grateful. As for whether Hou Ye can see it, he is thinking about his own business. ”

After the two discussed, they didn't talk again. It wasn't until the two of them finished eating and paying the money that they left together.

When he arrived at the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, Ruan Anze said: "Brother Tai, you just tell the Hou Ye that Ruan Anze, the son of Ruan Mu Ruan Shangshu, asks to see the Hou Ye!" That's it. ”

Lu Biao nodded, "Okay, then Ruan Gongzi wait here, I'll report it!" ”

After Lu Biao entered, it took a while for Yu Rong to walk out. As soon as he went out, he greeted Ruan Anze: "You are Ruan Anze, the son of Ruan Shangshu?" ”

Ruan Anze saluted, "Anze has seen Master Hou!" ”

Yu Rong looked at Ruan Anze, and sighed: "I heard that Ruan Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing and graceful demeanor, and when I saw it today, he was really a hero and a young man!" ”

Yu Rong said, and invited Ruan Anze to the mansion, "Young Master Ruan, please come in." ”

Ruan Anze was invited into the mansion by Yu Rong's enthusiasm. In the lobby, Yu Rong and Ye Zhen sat in the hall, and Ruan Anze sat on the side. Yu Rong greeted with a smile: "Young Master Ruan, is Ling Zun in good health?" ”

Ruan Anze saluted, "Hou Ye Xie cares, my father's body is fine!" ”

Yu Rong laughed and said, "That's good, that's good!" Ruan Gongzi came this time for his marriage with his little girl, right? ”

"Yes!" Ruan Anze said bluntly

Ye Zhen said with a smile: "Gongzi Ruan, I heard before that Gongzi Ruan is a talent, with outstanding appearance, strong martial arts, and extraordinary spirit. When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true. Ruan Gongzi, it's a pity, Ruan Gongzi is afraid that he won't be able to see Sheng'er today, early this morning, Sheng'er took a carriage to the Fushen Temple outside the city to incense, and it will take a few days to come back. ”

Fushen Temple is a temple that Yu Sheng often goes to, and it is full of female Taoist aunts who lead hair and practice. The name of the master of Fushen Temple is Miao Shen, who is a master who has a good relationship with Yu Sheng.

As soon as he talked about the carriage, he remembered that when he was riding a horse this morning, a carriage passed by him, and it turned out that the carriage was Ye Zhen's carriage.

Ruan Anze said with a smile: "It's okay, Mrs. Yu, I can't see you today, I can always see you in the future, I won't be in a hurry." ”

Yu Rong nodded, "Young Master Ruan, you have worked hard all the way from Dijing to Yuyang County. Ruan Gongzi, you will live in the Hou Mansion these days, so that Benhou can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Moreover, in a few days, it will be the dog's marriage, and Ruan Gongzi stayed, just to ask for a cup of happy wine to eat. ”

Ruan Anze saluted, "Thank you for your hospitality!" ”

After Yu Rong finished speaking, he ordered someone to take Ruan Anze down to rest.

Miao Jiang

In the evening, the moon is in the sky, and in a long river, the river surface is calm, and the river flows slowly. The moonlight illuminates the surface of the river, reflecting a little fluorescence.

On the riverbank, Miao Rong was playing with a flute, and I saw her standing straight on her back, looking at the endless river, playing a sad tune.

The song is desolate and quiet, it is Miao Rong's unwilling, sad, and painful heart, she doesn't know how to express these voices, so she can only use the song to send it out, and when it is blown out, her heart is much better.

The night is quiet, the silver moon, the song is sad......

A moment later, Yujiang and Erling walked from behind.

Er Ling smiled: "Little girl, don't be so sad, if there is really anything you can't figure out, say it, and I will solve your doubts." ”

Miao Rong stopped the flute and said with a smile: "There's nothing sad about it, I just miss Daddy." ”

Miao Rong handed the flute to Yujiang, "Do you know how to play the flute?" ”

After Yujiang took it, he asked, "What do you want to hear?" ”

"The tune I just played!"

Yujiang nodded, "I know that tune, it's the tune of the song you sang to me last time, I wrote it down." ”

"Then you blow, I sing, listen, and you will be responsible for listening!"

Er Ling shook his head, "This is not good, tonight's beautiful scenery, you two sing and blow, if I only listen and don't do something, it is easy to destroy the artistic conception." Er Ling took out a harmonica from his arms, "Yujiang blows, I'll come to play together, it can be regarded as living up to the beautiful scenery of this good day." ”

"Good!" Miao Rong responded

Yujiang played the flute, and as soon as he played the song in its entirety, Er Ling began to play it in unison. A flute and a piano, the sound is bleak. As soon as the two finished the prelude, Miao Rong sang: "In the mountains and flowing waters, between the blue sky and white clouds, the girl herding sheep in the distance, look back, whose boy are you looking forward to?"

The hosta on his head swayed in the wind, tinkling, and the smile on his face was like a flower. The boy who rode by in the distance, the purple clothes were staggering, and he was unbridled and chic, which touched the heart of the girl?

Boy, boy, stop and look back, the girl herding sheep in the distance, look back, it turns out that I am looking forward to you, a boy! ”

Miao Rong's voice echoed over and over again in the silent night. It's night, and the desolation of the song makes this artistic conception sad and sad, tactful and poignant......

When the three of them went back, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night. On the way, Miao Rong lost the smile on her face, she became silent, buried her head and walked forward, not saying a word along the way.

Yujiang cared: "Ah Rong, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Miao Rong stopped, and Er Ling and Yujiang also stopped. Miao Rong turned around, looked at them, and said, "Now the entire Miao Rong has been plagued by jade butterflies. Yujiang, Erling, I don't want to let Yudie go wrong anymore, I want to stop her. ”

Yujiang said: "But with your strength alone, you can't stop Yudie, on the contrary, you will die." ”

Miao Rong laughed lightly, "Two elder brothers, you have forgotten, I am from the Wu Clan, I can't stop her, can't I stop the Blood Gu Poison Altar?" ”

Er Ling understood as soon as he heard it, and he was shocked: "You want to sacrifice your life to the Blood Gu Poison Altar in order to quell the Blood Gu Poison Altar?" ”

"It's still smart, just guess it!"

"No, you can't!" As soon as Miao Rong's words fell, Yu Jiang interrupted and stopped

Miao Jiang smiled calmly, "What's not to do, Yujiang, you just worry too much." Yujiang, think about it, my life alone can save tens of millions of people in Miaojiang, that is immeasurable merit, and I want to be an immortal after death. ”

Yu Jiang grabbed Miao Rong's wrist and said anxiously: "Ah Rong, I don't want you to be an immortal, I just want you to live well in this life." ”

Miao Rong pushed away Yujiang's hand with her other hand, lowered her head, and explained in a low voice: "Yujiang, I, Miao Rong, am not only the sister of you and Erling, but also the princess of the people of Miaojiang." Now, Miao Jiang is in trouble, and as a princess, it is my duty to sacrifice myself to save my people in order to be responsible for my people. Miao Rong raised her head and smiled optimistically, "Besides, my sacrifice will be remembered for eternity from now on, and in the future, the people of Miao Jiang will remember me for generations." ”

Yujiang shook his head, "I don't need them to remember you, I just want you to live well." Ah Rong, I am the blood of the nobles of Miaojiang, and the blood in my body can also calm this catastrophe. ”

"No, Yujiang, you, Erling, and my father must live well. After my death, the catastrophe in Miao Jiang subsided, and my father asked you to take care of it. If you want to apologize to him for me, just say that you are not filial to your daughter, and you can't give him a pension to the end. ”

Er Ling sighed lightly and said, "Girl, listen well." You have to take your life to put an end to this catastrophe, and I will not stop you. But, first, I am your bodyguard, and I will be there you are. Second, Gu King, don't hand it over to me, you raise your father by yourself, and third, if you die, I, as a guard, will die with you. ”

Miao Rong looked up at Er Ling's eyes, which were a pair of firm eyes, and the loyalty shown to Miao Rong in them was unobstructed and undisguised.

Er Ling is the general of the people of Miao Jiang, and he is also Miao Rong's guard. His task in this life is to protect Miao Rong, and in his heart, Miao Rong's safety is more important than everything.

Miao Rong looked at Er Ling's eyes and smiled slowly.

"Hahaha, hahahaha......"

Miao Rong laughed and cried, tears kept falling.

She stretched out her hands, clasped Erling, buried her head in his arms, and cried in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to die...... Erling, Yujiang, I don't want to die...... I don't want to die at all......"

She couldn't stop crying, she couldn't breathe.

However, as the princess of Miao Jiang, for Miao Li, for Yujiang, for Erling, and for the thousands of people in Miao Jiang, she can't help but die. She did all this because of the word responsibility.

In his position, he seeks his own government and does his duty. As a princess of Miaojiang, since she became a princess, the burden of the safety of the people of Miaojiang is destined to fall on her shoulders, although it is heavy, but she has to carry it. Because, the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility!

However, she herself is a little girl, and he is not yet twenty years old. In this life, she has just begun, and she has never seen the world of flowers and flowers outside, and she has never seen thousands of landscapes.

The world is too beautiful for her to die!

Seeing Miao Rong crying, Yujiang and Er Ling didn't feel good in their hearts. Er Ling stroked his back with his hand and comforted: "Cry, girl! Just cry out all the unhappiness and cry out. ”

With this comfort, Miao Rong's crying became even louder, and her tears couldn't be stopped.

The world is very beautiful. If a person can live well, who is willing to die?
