Chapter 16: The Gathering of Storms

Following.

It was dark, and there was a little noise in the bazaar.

In the Dan room, the bird squatted on a small bench next to the stove, squinting his eyes to bake the fire, occasionally feeling that the fire was dark, and fanning it with his wings.

In the opposite room, the slight movement that lasted for a little in the middle of the night had already quieted down.

Between the curtains, Fan Qinghe lay on the outside, the quilt covered his chin, revealing only his slender eyelashes and the bridge of his nose, after hearing the slight noise in the market, he frowned, and then slowly opened his eyes.

After drinking a little wine yesterday, it was inevitable that he would have a little headache when he got up in the morning, Fan Qinghe looked at the room in his head, and wanted to raise his hand to soft his eyebrows, but suddenly found that the situation was not quite right!

The back is warm, as if leaning on a man's arms......

Fan Qinghe's expression stiffened slightly, and her brain quickly sobered up, and she lifted the quilt slightly to check, it can be seen that she shrunk between the man's arms, and her big hands went around her neck, just falling in front of her, covering her conscience, holding a full ......

Fan Qinghe's pupils shrank, and he didn't dare to move for the first time, and quickly recalled the experience of last night:

The queen had a whim and pestered her to teach, but the queen was very stupid and always made mistakes, so she could only change to back and forth, because she was greedy for a cup in the wine party, and then she was a little dizzy......

How can I fall asleep?!

Fan Qinghe felt that he had a big heart, he could fall asleep when he did this kind of thing, and if he didn't leave after teaching, he would not stay overnight.

Fan Qinghe felt it carefully, and found that except for the hand on his conscience, there was no other abnormality in his body, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief......

It's all like this, how can I breathe a sigh of relief?!

Fan Qinghe's heart was a mess, she didn't know what to say about herself, she quietly looked back, it can be seen that the Night Terror Hall has maintained the appearance of yesterday, and is still lying behind as a tool man, the only difference is that she is holding her with her left hand and the sleeping queen with her right hand......

Fan Qinghe bit his lower lip and was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to wake people up, so he carefully removed the hand on his chest, then got up and put on his shoes, pulled up his chest to cover it, and walked outside lightly.

Between the beds, the night terror hall was originally one in one hand, but the left side was suddenly empty, even if he slept and died, he should be awakened.

He opened his eyes and found that Miss Fan was holding her skirt and sneakily walked out of the door, her brain was also sober, she exhaled secretly, turned her head to look inside, and it could be seen that Da Ben was sleeping soundly on his arm, with his back to him, and through the soft temperature of his palm, he could clearly feel the smooth heartbeat.

He didn't wake up when he saw this, he gently pulled his hand away, wrapped the quilt tightly, and then put on his robe.

Boom~

The sun lit up in the east, and the faint sound of water splashed in the quiet courtyard.

Night Terror Tang stretched out in the courtyard, and when he saw Qinghe washing in the ear room, he didn't run in to disturb, and he fetched a bucket of water next to the well to wash.

The bird in the Dan room was already a little sleepy at this time, and when he found that the Night Terror Hall had come out, he quickly jumped in front of him and kicked the Night Terror Hall boots with his claws:

"Tsk!"

Night Terror raised his hand and rubbed the big bird, comforting:

"It's hard work, I'll wake up later and take you to eat roasted humps."

"Tsk~"

When Toritori heard this, he looked at the stove all night and his annoyance disappeared on the spot, and he rubbed his head against the night terrors, and then fell asleep, and almost planted himself in a pot.

Night Terror shook his head and chuckled, and took the bird to the Dan room, put it in a basket and went to sleep, and then sat down in front of the stove and tossed it with a burning stick.

Squeak~

After a while, Fan Qinghe came out of the house with a basin of water, and found that Night Terror Hall was sitting in the Dan room, his steps were slight, and his eyes were obviously a little dodgy.

But everything was done, she looked down and didn't look up, she couldn't hide if she wanted to, so after gritting her teeth and suppressing her distractions, she poured out the water, still made it look like nothing had happened, and walked slowly into the house:

"I'll just come and see, if you're okay, go out to eat, and find out the news in the city by the way......"

As he spoke, he walked to the medicine shelf, picked up a small scale and weighed the medicinal materials, and put on a 'I'm busy' look.

Night Terror turned his head to look at the graceful back, and after a moment's consideration, he got up and walked to the back.

?!

Fan Qinghe heard the sound of footsteps from far and near, his shoulders shrank slightly, his unsmiling expression turned into nervousness, he quickly turned around, and picked up the knife for cutting medicinal materials from the side:

"You...... What are you doing here? ”

Night Terror looked as usual, pinched the knife and pulled it out, threw it aside, and looked down at his cheeks full of confusion:

"What can I do? Let's just talk......"

"You ......"

Fan Qinghe found that his waist was hugged, and his eyes suddenly panicked, and he gently pushed his chest with his hand:

"I told you, I am a doctor, and I don't want to be a doctor when I am sick, so I taught King Jing to help you, how can you be so ......"

Night Terror Hall held his waist with both hands, and then lifted Fan Qinghe's feet off the ground and sat on the platform behind him.

He let go of his hand, propped up the desk, and surrounded Fan Qinghe in the middle, looking at each other:

"My daughter's innocence is greater than the sky, I took so many advantages by mistake at first, you don't want to take it to heart, so I can't take the initiative to mention it. But now that it's like this, I can't still act as if nothing happened, if I really do things in a hurry, I'm afraid that Miss Fan will also leave a knot in her heart, thinking that I am not responsible......"

"Who cares about knots? I don't think you're not responsible, you get out of the way! ”

Fan Qinghe wanted to jump down and run out, but he was blocked by the Night Terror Hall and couldn't leave.

The Night Terror Hall didn't force it to mess around, but just stopped Fan Qinghe, thought about it, and said:

"The tribes of the West Sea have an alliance of five clans, if it weren't for the events of the year, Miss Fan should be a princess according to the rules, right?"

"What princess? If the Northwest Royal Court is still there, I will be your aunt! You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Fan Qinghe's face turned red first, feeling that this was a bit outrageous.

Night Terror blinked: "If you like me, call me aunt......"

"Shut up!"

Fan Qinghe's personality is actually quite spicy, but he can't show it in front of the Night Terror, he was forced to be anxious at this time, and he didn't care so much, so he took out two needles from behind his waist:

"The Northwest Royal Court is gone, we're just strangers with a little friendship, will you let go? If you don't let it again, I'll go back to Winter Hades Mountain and not help you! ”

Night Terror Hall didn't hide, but just asked, "It means that I won't go back to Winter Styx Mountain after I get out of the way, and I will always follow and help me?" ”

Fan Qinghe blinked, feeling that these words seemed to be a trick, she thought for a while:

"I am the Zhu Zong of the Winter Underworld, how can I not go back, there is a banquet in the world...... Huh?! ”

Before the words fell, Fan Qinghe looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and leaned forward, seeing that he wanted to cook raw rice and mature rice, she panicked in her heart, and hurriedly pressed the forehead of Night Terror:

"Don't move! I...... I don't mean that I have to break up, I am the patriarch of the Winter Underworld, and the purpose is to rebuild the Northwest Royal Court, so that the clansmen will no longer be bullied by the Northern Liang.

"You are a descendant of the Chi tribe, if you can resist the burden of your ancestors and protect the winter underworld, I will naturally have to abide by the covenant of my ancestors, huh...... Even if I don't want to be a princess, for the sake of my clan, I can't ignore the overall situation, isn't it ......"

Night Terror Hall nodded thoughtfully: "It means that as long as I block Beiliang, Miss Fan will marry me as a little daughter-in-law?" ”

“……”

Fan Qinghe really meant this, so naturally she couldn't shake her head, she thought about it for a while:

"That being said, but now that the situation is uncertain, I don't know where to go from here. Now the various departments of the West Sea are still pressed by King Zuo Xian and dare not make a mistake, you must at least have a higher prestige than King Zuo Xian, I will ...... ......"

Although Fan Qinghe is quite obedient, her personality is still a wild girl, so she couldn't go on, so she forcibly jumped down and squeezed the night terrors out of the hall:

"Anyway, now we are just helping each other, this girl is benevolent, I don't want you to have an accident, so I will help you at any cost, you can't take revenge."

"Heh......"

Night Terror Hall just made a few jokes, and after being rubbed twice by Fan Qinghe, he didn't deliberately ridicule anymore, but still let go of the way.

Fan Qinghe hurriedly got out from his side, his face turned red and ran to the stove, opened the lid and checked:

"You go out and buy something to eat, I can't calm down standing here, don't blame me if it's a fryer."

Night Terror Hall was indeed a little hungry, and immediately walked out the door:

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything goes......"

After Fan Qinghe made sure that the Night Terror Hall was going out, he quickly ran over and closed the door, only to secretly breathe a sigh of relief......

——

Two days have passed since the battle of Tianlang Lake, Shi Daoyu and other main forces have all been defeated, and the Night Terror Hall has also been temporarily withdrawn, and there has never been a big storm on the lake, but it has not calmed down.

Although the big head was not grabbed, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, King Zuo Xian showed the appearance of 'the dragon is trapped in the shallows and has nothing to do', and arranged a small number of people to carry a trace amount of snow lake flowers like ants moving, and tried to escort them to the east of the lake.

Very few of these teams can reach, and most of them are only a few dozen miles out of the city, and they are sacked by wolves, and they can only lose their goods to save their lives; And the people of the rivers and lakes got their hands on it, and it was not so easy to get out of Tianlang Lake, and the entire ice field basically saw the fighting of the people of the north and south from morning to night.

At dusk, on the ice field on the east side of Tianlang Lake, several people from the rivers and lakes chased on the endless ice, the old man in the front was holding a cloth bag, and the rear was a martial artist from the north and south with a variety of weapons, and the shouts could be heard from afar:

"The one who sees it has a share, you still want to swallow it alone, you don't die?"

"Just two dollars Snow Lake Flower, how can so many people divide it? You solve the people behind you, let's ...... half"

……

At the end of the skyline, a large white horse stood in the wind, with two long iron hammers hanging from its side, which exuded a slight metallic color in the sun.

The Pingtian Sect Master, with a jade armor on his face, stood with his hands on the ice, looking from afar, born with a three-point cold voice, and said softly:

"Wu Lao Er of Shishi Zhai in Beiliang, isn't he called himself 'Fairy in Wine', is he only interested in good wine, why did he come to Tianlang Lake and grab the Snow Lake Flower?"

Not far behind her, a tall woman in a green dress and a hat on her head was not interested in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, but just looked down at the fish under the ice:

"I heard Shui'er say that this person also robbed the birthday gang sent by King Youxian in previous years, and stole a few altars of night white heads; Now the head of the mouse who is being chased is running, could it be that he has been secretly injured? ”

"The body is better than you, and the grandmaster still deserves it, it doesn't look like he has a secret injury."

“……”

Luo Ning's expression condensed slightly, and she turned her head, wanting to refute the straightforward Bai Jin's two sentences, but after looking carefully, she found that the old man who was running around was indeed above her, so she snorted lightly:

"Then what do you think he is doing robbing the snow lake flowers?"

"Maybe I want to make wine with Snow Lake Flowers, this kind of wine Mengzi, like Xuanji Zhenren, is not uncommon to do any bizarre things......

Xue Baijin, as the overlord of the worldly rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasty, came to Tianlang Lake on this trip to Tianlang Lake for the purpose of brushing King Zuo Xian, so as to logically play the name of a martial saint.

Although she is also interested in Snow Lake Flower, but this kind of thing that the emperors of the two countries are bound to get, as the leader of the anti-thieves, she will burn herself if she takes too much, and she has no motivation to make a move, and after chatting for a while, she wants to continue to set off with Luo Ning.

But before Xue Baijin turned over and got on his horse, he found that a group of people who had chased into the distance stopped at the end of the ice field, and then there were several explosions under the clear sky:

Bang Bang –

A little dust and mist were lifted at the end of the ice field, and then several figures scattered in a hurry, fleeing for their lives in the surrounding area.

Luo Ning couldn't see clearly, so he took out his binoculars and looked over there, but saw a horse team coming at the end of the ice field.

There were more than ten people in the horse team, all wearing standard robes, and it looked like the three people in the government were wearing green robes and gauze hats, and after injuring two Jianghu people, they did not pursue, but looked at her.

Although it was far away, Luo Ning still felt a little gloomy, she frowned, put down the binoculars, and asked:

"These three people don't look ordinary, who are they?"

Xue Baijin kept looking over there, and after a little consideration, he responded:

"It seems to be the 'Twelve Servants of Yandu', the eunuch next to Emperor Liang, who is responsible for guarding the emperor like Cao Qiansui, and never left the imperial city in previous years, how did this come to Tianlang Lake......"

Luo Ningjiang's resume is not as much as Xue Baijin after all, and he was puzzled when he heard this:

"These people are amazing?"

Xue Baijin shook his head: "That's it." It is rumored that these people are the dead soldiers cultivated by the Northern Liang Imperial Court with secret medicine, the roots and bones are strong and not afraid of pain, and the six senses are far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can't deal with them at all, but in my hands, it will at most play a role in delaying a few moves. ”

Luo Ning saw that he was not very powerful, and asked:

"We seem to be being targeted, let's go?"

Xue Baijin and the Northern Liang court had no grudges, seeing that the other party was just observing from afar, she didn't go up and say 'what are you looking at', turned over and said:

"It's none of my business, let's go. Didn't the Night Terror Hall rob the road in Tianlang Lake, why did it disappear for a long time. ”

Luo Ning followed on the horse, sat behind him, and looked around the endless ice field:

"Tianlang Lake is so big, how can it just come across it, look for it again, if the birds see us, they will definitely come over to lead the way."

Xue Baijin didn't want to see the night terror hall because of his experience in Jiangzhou, to be honest, but his wife missed the wild man, and she couldn't stop her, so she didn't say anything more at the moment, and after a light "drive~", he continued to walk into the depths of the ice field......

……

——

At dusk.

As the sky gets darker, the lights slowly turn on in the East Market, and a restaurant near Xiaonan Street that does barbecue business is full of customers coming and going.

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a large plate of hump meat was placed, and the birds squatted on the table, squinting and swaying as if they were for the New Year, and asked the two sisters to feed them.

The night terror, dressed in black robes, stood at the window with his hands in his hands, listening to the gossip of the peddlers' pawns:

"It's really bold, I heard that seven teams sent out by the palace today were all robbed on Tianlang Lake, and one was even robbed three or five miles outside the city, what is the difference between this and on the head of the prince......"

"The prince is notoriously short-tempered, and the thieves in the rivers and lakes are so presumptuous, so they don't go to deal with it?"

"Alas, isn't this guarding the Snow Lake Flowers, the Night Terror Hall has not been caught, and the prince can't leave his post without permission......"

"I heard that at noon today, the prince was furious, and he was already carrying a gun and preparing to go out of the city, Lord Xing, they knelt on the ground to dissuade them, and then persuaded the prince to go back......"

……

After calming down for a day, Fan Qinghe had already suppressed his messy thoughts at this time, sat at the table and listened for a while, and said:

"This group of people in the rivers and lakes are so presumptuous, aren't they afraid of really angering King Zuoxian? Three or five miles outside the city, King Zuo Xian passed in the blink of an eye......"

Dongfang Liren sat in front of him and served the bird with food, and responded:

"King Zuo Xian doesn't know where we are at all, he can go outside the city in the blink of an eye, and the Night Terror Hall can go to prison in the blink of an eye, not to mention three or five miles outside the city, even if someone makes waves in the city, King Zuo Xian will not necessarily show his head."

Night Terror returned to the table and sat down, picked up the flask and poured wine for the two girls:

"Yesterday I stopped the housekeeper of Zuo Xian's mansion, and learned that Zuo Xian Wang asked the family to pack up his things and seemed to be ready to go out. If King Zuo Xian really burned out of the city in anger in the past two days, then there would be a saying about this matter......"

Dongfang frowned and said, "Will the housekeeper report this matter to King Zuoxian?" ”

Fan Qinghe scratched the bird's belly, shook his head when he heard the words, and said:

"King Zuo Xian is not such a foolish person, Cao Aning and they were left in Pingyi City, and they were not allowed to turn back, just to prevent someone from being rebelled outside and coming back as an eyeliner; The housekeeper was blocked by an unknown thief, and returned to the palace unscathed, he didn't have to think about it to know that the secret was leaked, and Li Xian was not stupid, where did he dare to take the initiative to report it. ”

Dongfang thought about it, and said:

"King Zuo Xian has not moved for too long, and the saint will arrive in Jingjie City, and when the time comes, leading the army to the Northern Expedition is a matter of an order, and King Zuo Xian can't leave if he wants to, and there should be a move in the next few days if he wants to get out of the city. How long will it take for Tianlang beads to be refined? ”

Fan Qinghe saw that the bird had already eaten, so he got up and said:

"It will snow tonight, as long as the condensation beads will be. It's almost time, let's go back. ”

Seeing this, Night Terror didn't say much, got up to settle the bill, and returned to the pharmacy with the two girls......

There really aren't many opponents left, and the length should be about the same as the first two books.
