Volume 1 Song of Chang'an Chapter 40 The End

"Before the two of you came to me secretly, I had already warned you, put aside personal grievances!" Li Ruofu reprimanded Ke Li in the room.

"He's hurt the fourth!" replied Keli.

"That's your business! Now in Chang'an, settle down!" Li Ruofu saw that Keli was not convinced, so he scolded again.

Ke Dao pulled Ke Li back, "Li Xiang, it's my junior brother's fault, I'll take him to make a compensation!"

Li Ruofu swept away this calm and composed, and his tone softened slightly, "Don't apologize to me, let's talk to Yuanlang! Ethereal Peak is a great sect, and the Aohai Sword Sect is also a great sect, so there is no need to hurt the harmony for personal matters." ”

"Yes, Li Xiangli is reasonable. ”

"Okay, let's talk about yesterday. Li Ruofu's stiff face gradually relaxed.

Although Ke Li also felt that what Li Ruofu said was reasonable, he was still unconvinced in his heart and did not speak.

"The Three Marks Pingtian Gun was snatched away!And this person's cultivation is extremely high!" Ke Dao would not let Ke Li, and took the lead in speaking.

"Cultivation is extremely high?" Li Ruofu touched his beard, "Tsk, it's a little interesting." ”

"Originally, Ke Li and I had already taken down Feng Ziqing, and when we took the Pingtian Spear, he appeared, and it was difficult for me to catch his figure, this person's cultivation must be in the vast realm!"

"Li Dabai!" Li Ruofu's mouth slowly said three words.

Ke Li and Ke Dao glanced at each other, but Ke Dao's eyebrows furrowed, "Li Dabai has not been seen for many years, why is Li Xiang sure of him?"

Although Li Dabai is known as "the first in the world", 27 years ago, he challenged the world with a sword and was drunk alone, and a year later, Saibei killed An Muxi, and there was no news of him after that.

"In your eyes, how many people can escape in the world? Who else is there besides that crazy drunken maniac?" Li Ruofu said coldly.

...... There was silence in the room, and neither of the other two spoke again, followed by silence and incomprehension.

"Isn't he using a sword?" asked Kedao, questioning.

"In the realm of his imperial objects, anything can be a sharp weapon!"

"Then why did he grab that gun!"

Li Ruofu was questioned, and he was also silent for a long time, "It's okay if the person has been eliminated, or not, that gun is certainly a treasure, but it can't compete with thousands of troops!"

Keli couldn't hold back his words, "Then let's talk about the next thing?"

"Well said!" Li Ruofu chuckled.

Zhenbei General's Mansion

"Run, run, run!"

Slap, slap, slap! Lin Shi took an inch-long yellow wooden ruler and slapped Lin Ying's white and tender palm like snow, and scolded in his mouth, "Can you still be a little educated? Do you still have your mother in your eyes?"

Lin Yingqiao's face was buried very low, her long black hair was tied behind her, and she only felt a hot and stinging sensation in her hands.

The maidservants on the side covered their faces and watched from the sidelines, they may not have so many rules, but the young lady is the daughter of a big family, so it is different.

Lin Ying's slightly closed eyes squeezed out tears, and the girl gritted her teeth but didn't make a sound.

"Madam, forget it, fight again, I'm afraid Miss's hand will be broken!" The old housekeeper on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to persuade.

Lin gasped for breath in his mouth, threw the ruler aside, and sat on the main seat, "Do you know it's wrong?"

Lin Ying carefully touched her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Mother, you don't understand me at all." ”

"What did you say?"

"What do you think I'm thinking? Getting married, running a family, having children, and simply living a lifetime?" Lin Ying choked up, and when these words came out of her throat, she seemed to be relieved.

Lin's face was puzzled, "What? You, you don't want to get married?"

"Hehe, is this kind of casually arranged marriage interesting? You and your father were also together like this when they were together?" Lin Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, now she is very relaxed.

"Nonsense! Marriage has always been decided by parents!"

"Miss, don't talk about it. The old butler also came between the two and tried to break the siege.

"I don't!" Lin Ying said loudly, "I'd rather wander the world with people than spend the rest of my life with people I have never met!"

Lin Ying said that, and walked out without looking back, she was fed up with this home now!

"Madame, Madame, this ......"

Lin lost his eyes, rubbed his forehead with his hand, lay on the table, and shook his head one after another, "Go down, go down." Tired. ”

Lin Ying looked at the extra waist card on her waist in the room, the sterling silver square was inlaid with a dragon pattern, this was the waist card given to her by the Ming Emperor.

She pouted and touched it with her hand, "Ouch!", and the stinging sensation came, and the hand that was hit by the ruler was already red and swollen.

"In the red dust, I can't help but go to the end of the world. ”

Lin Ying lay on the table and began to read softly in his mouth.

"The blue clothes and green bows are cut by themselves, and the peach blossoms will be long immediately!"

"How many strange men are there in the world, who is willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield!"

She got up slightly, slowly wrapped her luggage, straightened her hair, and wrapped her injured right hand in a white cloth.

"I'm leaving, mother, I want to go to Saibei to have a look. She looked back at her neatly furnished house, and she made up her mind.

-----

Three days later, outside the city of Chang'an.

Nian Xingchen was dressed in white, holding the Absolute Dust Sword, and his hair was clean, and he stayed in front of a tombstone all morning.

There was a slight numbness on his feet, but he was like an ice sculpture. His gaze fell on the front and never looked away for a moment.

The tombstone reads "Tomb of Nianyang".

"Brother Yang, I'm coming to see you, Yan Kefu died, died in my hands. Nian Xingchen opened his mouth.

"Today is your death day, I, I have nothing to give you, just come and see you. He said to himself with a wry smile.

Just as he began to talk about himself at the tombstone, not far away, the sound of the wheels gurgling came.

Wailing and weeping appeared before his eyes with a wooden cart carrying a coffin.

Those young people wore linen and filial piety, some people supported the elderly, and the yellow money in the sky accompanied the advance of the coffin, fluttering and falling.

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

They huddled around the coffin, watched it sink into the soil little by little, covered it, sealed the coffin, buried it, sealed the soil, and then knelt on the ground and said goodbye like a heartbreak.

"The old man who died had gone out that night and found his body in the alley the next day, covered in scars. A figure appeared in front of Nian Xingchen, and he spoke without a trace of human affection, but extremely realistic.

"Li Xiang!" Nian Xingchen bowed his hand and lowered his head slightly.

"Excuse me, Nian Xingchen, what do you think about life and death?" Li Ruofu didn't detour this time, but asked him directly.

Nian Xingchen's eyes moved slightly, "The thought of life and death is just a feeling for me. ”

"Whew, how do you feel?"

"Alive, I can feel the dust in my scabbard, and when I die, I am a corpse!"

"Well, it's straightforward. Li Ruofu smiled slightly and looked at the crowd of mourners over there.

"Are you free of worries?" he spoke again, "there is something in this world called bond, and it is a strange bond. ”

"Fetters?"

"You and me, and Xiaoman, Gao Xianzhi, and Hanazaki Ruo all have some kind of special relationship. Li Ruofu sighed, "People! Living in this world, you have to rely on something!"

"And what do you rely on?"

Li Ruofu shook his head and said: "I don't rely on it, because I am a towering tree myself, only others rely on me, but I can't rely on others!"

"Many years ago, I traveled all over Chang'an City to search for a long time, and now I hit it with one blow! Once upon a time, I fell into the first place several times and wandered around, but now, I can resist the wind from all directions, and sit alone in a lonely boat!"

Li Ruofu's face was as calm as ever, touching his beard and sighing.

Nian Xingchen didn't know how to respond, and frankly, he didn't know Li Ruofu.

"Li Xiang!"

Just when Nian Xingchen was silent and couldn't answer, a crisp voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Ying?

The blue coat, the silver-white breastplate on the chest, the slender waist outlines the perfect body curve, the beautiful face, the delicate facial features, the eyes that are particularly deep like the night, and the eyebrows are like frost and snow.

If Lin Ying stood quietly in place like that, she would be a beauty who did not eat fireworks in the world, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, but when she moved, she had seven points of heroism and three points of pride, which made people not be forced to look at.

"It's coming. ”

"Huh?" Lin Ying nodded like a well-behaved girl, completely different from Nian Xingchen's impression.

"Okay, okay, don't be so restrained, he will go this time!" Li Ruofu pointed at Nian Xingchen and said.

Lin Ying held back a glance at Nian Xingchen, and then stuck out his tongue, "Isn't that dragging its feet?"

"Hahaha, your mouth is really merciless!"

"It's just telling you the truth, right, Nian Xingchen!" Lin Ying said to Nian Xingchen.

Nian Xingchen also threw his head over angrily, "Waste your tongue!"

"Okay, let's stop talking. Li Ruofu smiled bitterly, "Let's change places, it's too unlucky here." ”

Li Ruofu left first and led the way in front.

Lin Ying and Nian Xingchen walked behind, and there was a deliberate distance between the two of them.

Nian Xingchen didn't like this girl, he felt that Lin Ying talked a lot, even if she provided information for herself, but she had also shot herself with arrows, one yard to one yard, and they didn't owe each other!

"Those people are dead!" Lin Ying said on the side.

"What?" Nian Xingchen asked suspiciously.

"The people who went out that night were killed in some small alleys of Qinglong Street. ”

"They ......."

"These are the victims of the power struggle, the civilians, who may not even know how they died in the end!"

"For the sake of righteousness, it is not a pity to die!" Nian Xingchen held the sword in his hand and responded.

"Righteousness, maybe in the eyes of others, your righteousness is just a dirty and disgusting excuse, Nian Xingchen, are you really a cold monster?" Lin Ying turned her head and looked at Nian Xingchen.
