Chapter 34: Chatting in the Rain
Hoof, hoof......
Coming out of the palace, the time has already entered the night, under the drizzle, the street seems to be extraordinarily quiet, only between the restaurants on the street, occasionally can hear a little push cup and change the lamp.
Riding on a big black horse, wearing a rain cape and holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, Night Terror Hall glanced at the street and headed for the West Market alone.
Because it was raining lightly, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the Night Terror Hall was thinking about the Ming Dragon Picture along the way, and when passing by a roast chicken shop, he stopped to ask the shopkeeper for a roast chicken, ready to go back and reward the birds who were busy all the way.
But just as he was holding an oil-paper umbrella and watching the old shopkeeper busy, footsteps suddenly sounded in the alley next to him.
Stomping~
Night Terror turned his eyes, but saw an ice lump beauty in a white dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, walking out of the shadows, raising her eyes to look at the afterglow of the lights in the distance, and said:
"Why did you come back?"
Night Terror looked at it with a surprised look, and after looking left and right, he came closer:
"How did you find me?"
"Yunli came over just now and said that you were back, and you were waiting outside the palace gate."
Xue Baijin glanced back at the fragrant roast chicken:
"Do you still like these?"
"I bought it for Birdie, and I used to eat it together."
Seeing that it was not appropriate to stand on the street, Night Terror Hall motioned to the inside of the shop:
"Have you eaten it? Why don't we have a meal together and talk about things by the way? ”
Seeing this, Xue Baijin did not refuse, put away the oil-paper umbrella and leaned outside the door, came to the empty shop and sat down, and asked:
"How are your injuries?"
Night Terror Hall took the tea from the shopkeeper, came to the side of the square table and sat down, turning up the tea bowl:
"It's no big deal. I went into the palace just now and talked about what I said last time, there is no problem with the court, I have the Minglong Picture with me, and I am preparing to find you later. ”
Xue Baijin took the teacup: "The snow lake flowers are placed in the backyard of the inn, you can pick them up later, remember to take it back when the evergreen map is used up, if you don't believe it, you know the consequences." ”
Night Terror shook his head: "What is this saying, when did I never believe it." Anyway, you should be considered to have entered the Martial Saint now, what are you going to do next? You don't want to go back to Nanxiao Mountain to uncover the uprising, right? ”
Xue Baijin blew the tea bowl: "With the size of Nanxiao Mountain, at most, be a bandit who occupies the mountain as the king, and it will not work to revolt and fight the world." If you want to succeed, the only chance is for you, the protector of the Fa, to be loyal and raise troops in the West Sea to help Dayan restore the country. If you are willing, how about I make you emperor? ”
Night Terror Hall waved his hand and said: "Ci is not in charge of the army, good is not in power, we are all from the rivers and lakes, and we may not be able to sit firmly if we are given a throne, so don't make this kind of joke." ”
Xue Baijin snorted lightly: "I know that you won't agree, you want to be the emperor, just eat soft rice and marry the empress, why spare such a big circle and follow my Pingtian Sect to take risks." ”
"Ugh." Night Terror shook his head, speechless.
Xue Baijin just teased casually, thought about it and looked out the window:
"Back then, I said that I wanted to avenge Ning'er, and it stands to reason that I should go to Monk Shenchen, but Monk Shenchen is more powerful than King Zuoxian, and I am still not sure at present, so I should go to the north next."
Night Terror Hall blinked when he heard this, and asked:
"I'm also going to the north to do something, why don't we do it together?"
Xue Baijin shook his head directly without thinking about this proposal, the reason for refusal, in addition to the men and women who walked together in the rivers and lakes, nine out of ten pairs ended up becoming lovers, and she and Night Terror Hall were too powerful, and joining forces to do things would definitely be invincible, but it would not help to improve martial arts.
"You are the prince of Great Wei, walking with me, the people of the rivers and lakes must think that I have been recruited. And there are more powerful characters than you and me, there are only a few in the north and south, you act recklessly, you always like to rush forward, if you are all finished, who will I kill to establish a reputation when the time comes? Let's go our own way, if you encounter a big disaster, just show the sign of 'Yan Soul Immortal', and the sect leader will not stand by for the sake of Ning'er's face. ”
Night Terror felt that he couldn't solve the opponent, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to call Bingtuotuo, but the black silk thighs said that they wanted to cover him, and he still bowed his head to thank him.
The two chatted like this for a few words, and the shopkeeper brought the fragrant roast chicken.
Night Terror picked up chopsticks, removed a large chicken leg from the roast chicken sprinkled with green onion and chili noodles, and handed it to Bingtuo:
"Here, eat a chicken leg."
Xue Baijin has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and it is the first time that he has sat at the same table with a man to eat alone.
used to be with Ning Er, she moved her chopsticks generously, holding the pig's trotters and gnawing on them, and Ning Er wouldn't say anything; But sitting in front of the night terrors, eating like this is obviously undignified.
Facing the big chicken leg handed over by the Night Terror Hall, Xue Baijin definitely couldn't take it with his hands, and it was even stranger to hold the chopsticks and gnaw it, thinking about it, he made a color that did not eat the fireworks in the world:
"You eat, I'm not very hungry, just drink two sips of tea."
Seeing this, Night Terror naturally didn't force it to feed it in his mouth, and asked the shopkeeper for two cold dishes and a pot of wine, so that she could eat some together.
Xue Baijin faced the warm invitation of the Night Terror Hall, and finally picked up the chopsticks, drank a few cups with each other, and after eating, they got up together and went to the inn in the downtown area.
Xue Baijin was the first to find out when he came back from the night terror hall that the place where he lived was not far from the palace, and it was just across the street, and there were mostly shops selling jewelry and jewelry on the street, as well as the Qinglou tavern, and there were a lot of pedestrians at night.
Night Terror Hall led the big black horse and walked with Xue Baijin, but before he arrived at the door of the inn, he heard a conversation from a shop:
"The girl is polite, the person you want to send should be a great talent, right? Look at this hairpin, simple atmosphere, luxurious and introverted, most suitable for young scholars......"
"He is strong in martial arts, and he doesn't bring hairpins very much......"
"Yo~ It's both civil and military, the girl is really blessed. Look at this belt buckle, the cloud dragon group carved by everyone in Yazhou is beautiful, not to mention sturdy, usually elegant, occasionally using fists and feet, and will not break the belt to make an ugly ......"
"This one is really beautiful...... Ping'er, what do you think? ”
……
When Night Terror heard Xiao Yunli's voice, he paused and looked at the ice lump next to him.
Xue Baijin saw that his apprentice chose a gift for a man, and he felt that the little cabbage that he had managed to raise was arched by someone.
But Yunli is not small, personal emotional problems, his own master has a headache, Xue Baijin didn't want to interfere, but walked to the inn without squinting:
"Just in front, take the snow lake flowers and send them back early, as long as the things are in your hands, any problems have nothing to do with me, and you don't want to lose the price you should give."
"It's ...... nature"
Seeing this, Night Terror did not stop, and followed him to the backyard of the inn, where he soon saw a small carriage covered with oilcloth.
Xue Baijin came to the carriage with an umbrella and untied the oilcloth, revealing the jade box below:
"That's all, do you want to inspect the goods?"
Night Terror didn't think that Bingtuotuo would stuff dozens of boxes of mud to fool him, so he touched it from his arms and took out the bath map:
"The other three pictures, in fact, I can also learn them for you, but you don't want to work for Dawei, you learn too much, I can't restrict you, it's not good to explain to the court. If you want to learn in the future, just feel free to tell me. ”
Xue Baijin naturally wanted to learn, but he also knew that the imperial court did not dare to raise tigers for trouble, so he was not embarrassed by the night terror, and after taking out the fire map and looking at it, he raised his hand and prepared to take the evergreen map.
But as soon as Xue Baijin's hand moved, he remembered something again, and looked at the night terror hall that couldn't take his eyes off it:
"You turn around first."
"Huh?"
Night Terror Hall was puzzled for a moment before he reacted and quickly turned around.
窸窸窣窣~
Xue Baijin turned his back, reached into the white skirt and fumbled, took out the evergreen diagram from the chest wrap and handed it to the Night Terrors:
"The female emperor's talent is so high, it shouldn't take long to learn, remember to get it back tomorrow morning, otherwise I'll take the fire map."
Night Terror Hall raised his hand to take the golden drawing, and his fingertips could clearly feel the hot body temperature, and maybe the smell of milk.
But if he dared to smell it, he must have been hammered to the ground, and at the moment he still looked in his arms as usual, and pulled the reins of the carriage and said:
"Then I'll go first?"
Xue Baijin was in a hurry to learn how to put the fire map in his pocket, and he didn't be too polite, turned around and went upstairs:
"Remember to send Yunli back, I won't go to dinner at night."
It is estimated that Sanniang prepared a reception banquet for Night Terror, and specially asked Yunli to invite people, and Bingtuotuo was embarrassed to go over, which was also reasonable.
After he saw Bingtuo go upstairs, he pulled a cart of snow lake flowers, and he didn't dare to delay, and quickly drove out of the backyard, ready to send it to the palace for storage.
But as soon as he came to the street, he saw two girls walking together.
Xiao Yunli walked in front, dressed in a very beautiful pink skirt, carrying a small cyan umbrella on her shoulder, holding a wooden box in her hand to observe carefully, and was saying:
"This shop is so dark, a belt buckle dares to ask for eighty taels of silver, can you bully this girl at a young age? I've walked more streets than she'......."
Ping'er followed behind, and she was also looking carefully: "Miss's knife skills are really good, and the boss lady was stunned by bargaining, but thirty taels of silver is not cheap, and Miss has half a year's pocket money...... Huh? ”
While she was talking, Ping'er Yuguang noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed the young lady who appreciated the gift.
Zhi Yunli was engrossed in admiring the white jade waist buckle, and was pushed by Ping'er, only to find that there were two carriages parked outside the inn, and the coachman next to him was a black-robed man, holding an umbrella in his hand, looking at her with a smile.
"Shocking cousin?"
Zhe Yunli smiled stiffly, and quickly fastened the wooden box and hid it behind his waist.
But soon, Zhi Yunli's expression changed again, revealing three points of resentment, turning around forty-five degrees, looking away, and snorting as if there was nothing.
?
Night Terror Hall wanted to say hello, but when he saw that Xiao Yunli suddenly weakened and helped the wind up, he was also stunned, and first raised his eyes to look at the second floor of the inn, and then led the carriage to him:
"Your master is upstairs, speak normally......"
Zhe Yunli glanced upstairs, and found that there seemed to be a shadow in the window on the second floor, standing at the window and listening, he didn't say a word, turned around and walked to the far side of the street, and when he was far away, he said:
"Ping'er, you go back first, I have something to talk to Brother Jingtang."
Ping'er heard the soft and weak tone, and goosebumps rose, but she couldn't control the young lady, so she ran to the inn immediately.
Night Terror Hall walked in front of him and looked at Yunli's right hand:
"This was bought for me?"
Zheyunli hid the wooden box in his sleeve, feeling a little embarrassed, but his mouth was:
"There are so many sisters in the family, and my brother is not uncommon to me, so he is just amorous."
?
The goosebumps in the night terror hall also rose, and I got closer:
"Okay, okay, your master is everywhere, what should I do if I jump out in a while?"
Zhi Yunli looked back and made sure that the master was not there, so he snorted lightly and looked away:
"In the past, it was Brother Shocking who thought I was rude and asked me to be more gentle, I studied for a few months, but now that I am Sven, Brother Shocking is disgusted again. If you want me to see it, Brother Shocking just doesn't like me as a person, everything is wrong, so why bother wishful thinking......"
Night Terror Hall was speechless in his heart, shook his head and smiled:
"Why don't you like it, I'm just afraid that your master will hear about it and beat me to death. Just now, your master told me to send you home, and I don't know what I mean......"
“?”
Zhe Yunli wanted to continue to complain, but when she heard this, her expression was slightly stunned, and she turned her head:
"Master asked you to send me home?"
Seeing that Yunli was no longer a demon, Night Terror Hall was relieved and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid you'll run around and have an accident by yourself, don't think about it."
How could Zhe Yunli not think about it, the master and the master seemed to have the intention of marrying her out, and this specially asked the shocked cousin to send her, is the meaning unclear?
Zhe Yunli blinked and asked:
"I'm walking around the streets all day long, and my martial arts are not low, so what can happen. Master asked you to send it, so you really sent it? ”
Night Terror shook his head and said, "I wasn't going to send it, I wanted to pull the carriage to the palace, but I bumped into you when I went out." Why don't you go back first, and I'll be done when I'm done? ”
“……”
Zhi Yunli's eyes were strange, and he felt that the night terror hall was a little straight, and he didn't want to send the girl home, so he didn't know how to put it mildly.
But no matter how resentful she was, it was really a misunderstanding, and she still behaved naturally at the moment, and threw the small box to the Night Terror Hall:
"It's okay to go back together when you meet, and talk about what to send or not. You just came back today, Aunt Pei also prepared a new robe for you, and the master also made a pair of shoes for you, if I didn't prepare, you must think that I don't understand the world, so I and Ping'er came to buy something for you. Open it up and take a look, I don't like it and I can still change it now. ”
Night Terror chuckled: "How can you not like it." This time, I was in a hurry to come back from outside the border, and I didn't prepare any gifts, or I would quietly give you a snow lake flower or two and take it back to make beauty cream? I heard Qinghe say that Snow Lake Flowers can be used like this, but it's too extravagant and no one is willing to ......."
Zheyunli has practiced the evergreen diagram since childhood, and the skin is so tender that no woman does not envy it, so it needs to be specially maintained, and he said:
"I want the snow lake to do a lot, if my cousin really has a heart, he should take me with him next time he goes out. I'm sixteen or seventeen years old, and I haven't been in the rivers and lakes yet, if I wait for another two years, and you finish beating all the masters of the rivers and lakes, who will I go out of the mountains to deal with? I can't hit you then, can I? ”
Night Terror Hall knew that Yun Li was very capable, and he used to handle cases together in the capital, and his head was brighter than him. He thought about it a little:
"The next time I want to go out, it may be to go to Beiliang to deal with the martial saint, it's not that I don't want to go out to see the world, but ......"
Zhi Yunli was slightly dissatisfied and said, "No matter how I can fight the queen, right?" In the past, I went to the rivers and lakes with my mother, and I came to investigate and investigate, and I had to protect my mother, you can take my mother and the queen out of the house, why can't you take me with you? Or is my brother really disgusted in his heart, thinking that my sister and I will only drag our feet? If that's the case, I'd better go back to Nanxiao Mountain......"
In the middle of a sentence, the tone switched seamlessly, and after the words were finished, they turned into a sad and resentful appearance.
Night Terror shook his head, it was really difficult to parry, so he could only say:
"I'm about your age, so it's hard to call the shots. You have to ask Master and Master about this, and they promised that I could take it with me when I went out. ”
"That's okay."
When Zhe Yunli heard this, he came to his senses, and ran back with an umbrella.
Night Terror Hall looked back, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go and talk to the master, if you don't agree, I'll cry, make trouble, and hang myself......"
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
In a word, Zheyunli disappeared.
After shaking his head and sighing, Night Terror Hall pulled the carriage and returned to the palace, so that She Long and the others could properly store and take care of it.
After finishing it, Night Terror Hall wanted to go to Yuhu's place and let her learn the Evergreen Diagram quickly.
But this time when he ran to the palace, he found that Yuhu was really not there, he didn't find it in the bathroom, and when he came to the queen mother's bedroom, he found that Ben Ben and the queen mother were also gone.
When the Night Terror Hall saw this scene, he knew where the three of them had gone, and they didn't stay at the moment, and quickly returned to the West Market.
——
Honghualou is mainly engaged in shipping business, and there are halls in the twelve states of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the scale of Yazhou Hall is not large, but there are also ship shops and carriage and horse shops in Jingjie City.
After Pei Xiangjun came from Liangzhou, he lived in the carriage and horse shop in Xishi, because the situation at the border gate was not right recently, there were fewer business travelers in and out of the customs, and the carriage and horse shop had no business, so he simply gave the guy a holiday, and there were no outsiders in the compound.
Night Terror Hall is the first time to come to Jingjie City, know where Sanniang lives, but don't know the road, ride to the West City, and inquire, only to find the location of the carriage and horse shop, go outside the wall, and hear the warbler inside:
"That Xie Jianlan was intercepted by Gonggong Cao on the ice field, not only did he not surrender, but he also wanted to escape; Fortunately, Benwang and Night Terror Hall arrived in time and blocked the way......"
"Leaving people, your martial arts are sparse, you can fall down with this palace over Minglongtan, and you won't be afraid when you meet a strong enemy?"
"His Royal Highness's martial arts are placed on the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as a master, but there is a little gap between him and Jingtang, and when he meets a second-rate martial artist like Xie Jianlan with Jingtang, where will he put it in his eyes......"
……
Seeing this, the night terror hall turned over and dismounted outside the courtyard wall, entered the carriage and horse shop from the gate, and raised his eyes to see a bunch of girls sitting in the hall.
The Queen Mother was dressed in a dark red dress, dressed as a wealthy lady, sitting under the middle hall, her eyes were full of curiosity, listening to the stupid story of the experience of Tianlang Lake and her party.
Da Benben went out to see the world, and he was in a good mood at the moment, sitting next to the tea desk on the right side and whispering; And Sanniang sat next to him, helping to pour tea while playing a round game.
On the opposite side of the hall, Yuhu, dressed in red, leaned on a chair in a casual manner, listening carefully with a teacup in his hand, and looked full of interest; Qinghe sat in front of Yuhu, a little cowardly, just bowed his head and drank tea silently.
Ning'er was not good to sit with the three royal sisters because of her identity, so she ran to the verandah on the side of the courtyard at this time, sat on the beauty's back, put her arms on the fence and looked at the rain curtain, cold like a tranquil woman who does not eat fireworks in the world.
And Shui'er was sitting in front of him, holding a wine gourd in his hand, his chin resting on Ning'er's shoulder, and he was whispering in his ear, judging from his playful demeanor, he should be talking to Ning'er.
found that the night terror hall entered the courtyard, and the two people who spoke privately reacted.
Shui'er sat up straight, leaning on the beauty and pouring herself a drink, as if nothing had happened.
And Ning Er stood up, looked at the hall first, and then walked into the rain curtain to come to her, raised her hand to hook the collar and looked at her chest muscles:
"How are your injuries?"
Night Terror Hall looked at Ning Er's lukewarm and concerned eyes, and felt warm in his heart, held the umbrella above his head to avoid the rain, and raised his hand to hug it:
"It's all right. I met Sect Leader Xue just now, and everything was discussed, she was busy learning the fire map, but she didn't come to dinner, and I didn't invite ...... again."
Luo Ning knew that Bai Jin was embarrassed to come over, and he was not surprised by this, but he was afraid that the people in the hall would see it, so he quietly moved the hand behind his waist away:
"Why didn't Yunli come back?"
Night Terror Hall glanced around, and it could be seen that Ping'er and Xiuhe were arranging dishes in the restaurant, and Bird Bird was asking for food next to them, and there was no trace of Yunli, so he thought about it:
"Yunli wanted to follow me out to explore the rivers and lakes, I said that I couldn't be the master, let her ask you and Sect Master Xue, and she went, probably grinding hard with Sect Master Xue."
When Luo Ning heard this, her eyes hesitated slightly.
Yunli was born in the rivers and lakes, and then she is like a scholarly lady, but she is essentially a woman in the rivers and lakes.
And once the children of the rivers and lakes have learned martial arts, they will not be able to stay under the wings of the master forever, and sooner or later they will have to go out of the mountains and take their own roads in the rivers and lakes.
Bai Jin is the master, and following behind is taking the apprentice, not counting Yunli's own experience. And she followed Yunli, she didn't play much of a caring role, and it didn't make much sense.
Night Terror Hall and Yunli are of the same age, and their strength is enough, so it is the best choice to go out with each other.
But......
Luo Ning was a little worried about the kind of situation she didn't want to see, but marriage was predestined, and she couldn't help it if it really appeared, Shui Er dared to be with her apprentice without shame, she ......
"Alas~"
Luo Ning didn't know what she was thinking, so she quickly swept away her distractions and responded:
"Yunli is a big girl, where can I take care of it. You look at the situation, if it is suitable, take her out to see the world, and if it is not suitable, she will make it clear that she knows how to measure. ”
"Good ......"
The two whispered only a few words, and there was movement in the hall.
Sanniang stood up, looked at Ning'er's public and whispered, her eyes were strange, and she said:
"Ning'er, what are you doing? Don't let the surprise come in. ”
"Oh."
Luo Ning hurriedly stood up straight, glared at the thief who hugged her again, and then ran quickly to the restaurant to help pick it up.
Night Terror Hall smiled, and after greeting the hall, he looked at Shui Er, who was still sitting on the beauty's lean:
"Let's go, let's go in. What were you talking about? ”
Xuanji Zhenren stood up and said casually:
"Don't ask children about adults."
“?”
Night Terror Hall was speechless, thinking that Shui Er should have not opened the meat for a few days, but at this time, he was not good at saying meat words, so he just followed into the hall full of daughters-in-law......
