Chapter Twenty-Four: Attack in the Night
It is said that after Tianluoer left the mountain, he went straight to the Xiaoxiao Palace, the little white wings have not yet been born, and he can't take off, so he can only open the tiger's claws, and he can run and jump quickly, but Tianluoer is very worried about his father-in-law and the autumn wind, and his heart is like an arrow, only to feel that the little white tiger is very slow, so he stepped on his back and flew alone.
In the blink of an eye, he had jumped out for more than ten miles, leaving Xiaobai far behind, and Tianluo'er exclaimed: "I have taught myself the "Holy Emperor Jue", not only has my internal strength increased, but also my light skills have been superb. ”
In less than half a cup of tea, the city wall of the Xiaoxiao Palace has come into view, and before anyone arrives, the sound of drums and music has been heard, and Tianluo'er thinks: "Could it be that the father and mother learned that they had returned, and they arranged a ceremony to welcome them?" The joy was indescribable, and he urged the internal force to fly quickly outside the city wall of the Xiaoxiao Palace.
Tianluo'er landed on both feet, but saw that the city gate was closed, and no one greeted him, he was puzzled, shouted several times, and no one responded, so he flew up to the city wall, but saw that the soldiers guarding the city were all carrying wine jars, drinking red faces, and staggering.
Tianluo'er was furious, and wanted to tell Nangong Hua, asking him to engage in military law, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see him, and he caught a sergeant and asked, the man was drunk and his eyes were drunk, his tongue was like hemp rope, and his teeth were slurred, and he only heard him say what a happy day today, Nangong Hua was invited to drink the wedding wine, and then wanted to ask him, and the snoring started.
It's not a festive day, where does the joy come from? Tianluoer flew down the city wall, walked quickly, came to the outside of the Jinming Palace, but saw the lanterns everywhere outside the hall, as if in celebration, I heard that the hall was even more lively, Tianluoer pushed the door and entered, only to see that the hall was full of guests, congratulations were boiling, on the north wall of the hall, there was a big red happy word, Ji Yuecia and Wei Lang were wearing the bride and groom clothes, worshipping the sky and knocking on the ground......
Tianluo'er stood at the entrance of the hall, stunned, it turned out that the happy event in the soldier's mouth was actually the wedding of Ji Yuecian and Wei Lang! When everyone saw Tianluo'er, they were also stunned, and they didn't want him to be alive. Tianluo'er looked at the big red word "Xi", as if a steel needle pierced the bottom of his heart, painful, but unspeakable.
"On the day I get married, I will also sit in such a beautiful sedan chair and let eight people carry it."
"That sedan chair can't be called beautiful, Sister Cicada, when I marry you, I will definitely build a shining golden sedan chair, find eighteen sedan chair drivers, and carry you through the door."
"This is what you said, I really wrote it down, if you break your promise in the future, I won't marry you!"
……
The intimacy with Ji Yuecia in the past has come to mind vividly, although I know that this day will come sooner or later, but when I really face it, I thought that my heart was already as calm as water, but it rippled again, and the tears of Tianluoer were irrepressible, sliding through the corners of his eyes.
Mu Nianjun was overjoyed when he saw Tianluo'er, walked forward quickly, did not avoid suspicion, hugged him into his arms, and whimpered: "My son, I want to suffer too!" ”
Tianluo'er looked at Mu Nianjun's red and swollen teary eyes, and knew that she must have mistakenly thought that she was buried under the water of Jize, thinking deeply of her son, and crying all day long, so that her eyes were swollen with tears. ”
For more than ten years, for the first time, when I heard Tianluo'er call herself "mother", Mu Nianjun was full of joy and sorrow, and couldn't help it, hugging Tianluo'er and crying, the two of them cried in front of everyone.
"Mother!" Ji Yuecian shouted anxiously.
Mu Nianjun had to remember that today was a happy event for his daughter's wedding, and he cried in public, losing his manners, so he eased his emotions, held back his tears, and said: "Luo'er, today is the day of the good relationship between the cicada and Weilang, you first find a place to sit down, drink a glass of wine, and talk to you later for your mother." ”
Tianluo'er didn't say anything, walked straight towards Ji Yuecian, picked up a bottle of wine on the table, saluted Ji Yuecian, the two looked at each other, although there were thousands of words in their hearts, but they couldn't say a word, Ji Yuecian also had mixed tastes in her heart, slightly pursed her face, and staggered her gaze.
Wei Lang said loudly: "Today is really a double happiness!" I propose, please raise the wine bottle in your hand, and drink it for the safe return of Tianluo'er! ”
When everyone heard this, they all praised it in unison, and congratulated in unison, Bai, Hu and other elders also praised Wei Lang and praised his generosity, Ji Yuecian stared at Wei Lang, and his eyes were full of envy and admiration.
Tianluo'er looked, the heart was sweet and sour, raised his neck and drank the wine in the bottle, turned around and wanted to go out of the Jinming Palace, just walked to the palace door, suddenly felt the cold behind him, looked back, and saw a pair of cold eyes among the guests staring at himself, looking at it, it was a forest!
That Lin Mu saw Tianluo'er, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and then he smiled charmingly, and mixed in the crowd, Tianluo'er wanted to find him, in order to avenge the revenge of the mountain, and thought, fighting at the wedding, not the way of respecting people, everyone will think that they are small-minded, so as to provoke trouble, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are not easy to explain.
But spare him now, and take his life another day, and then strode out of the temple.
Out of the Jin Ming Palace, Tianluoer went straight to the house, there are several simple houses behind the house, built with blue bricks and thatch, it is the place where the people live, and the autumn wind lives here.
Pushing the door in, I saw Qiu Feng lying on the couch, holding a book and reading, knowing that his injuries were no longer serious.
Tianluo'er smiled and said: "Everyone else goes to the wedding banquet to drink and have fun, why are you alone in the quiet room and become a scholar?" ”
Seeing that it was the beginning of the day, the autumn wind was overjoyed, got up and sat on the edge of the couch, and said with a smile: "It's just because of the injury, it's inconvenient to drink, so as to entertain the ears." ”
Tianluo'er knew very well in his heart, this was just an excuse for Qiu Feng, Qiu Feng was indignant at Ji Yuecia for destroying the baby in public and embarrassing himself, just because he was born in a subordinate and did not dare to fight against Ji Yuecian openly, so he refused the wedding banquet on the grounds that his injury was inconvenient to drink, and he was alone in the burrow.
If there are brothers like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Qiu Feng saw that there were tears in the corners of Tianluo'er's eyes, and knew what he was hurting in his heart, and said with relief: "Brother Tian, there is no grass at the end of the world, there is no need to be sad for such a water-based poplar woman, you and my brother are reunited, and today we should not be drunk and do not return." ”
As he spoke, he jumped out of bed, took out the sweet and mellow wine he had treasured for many years, and went to the room to fry a few plates of side dishes, a plate of pork leg bacon, a small plate of capers, a pearl cockroach, and a plate of fried potatoes (yams), and brought them into the house.
The two sat across the table, drank heartily, and talked about the past and the present......
I didn't feel that it was getting late, the cups and plates on the table were messy, the ground was full of empty wine jars, the autumn wind was drunk, his cheeks were red, his head was tilted suddenly, he fell asleep on the table, and Tianluo'er smiled: "I haven't seen you for several months, and your alcohol consumption is still so unbearable." He helped him to the couch, covered him with a quilt, and retreated from the door.
Tianluo'er knows that the red fox sees that he is not dead, afraid that his identity will be revealed, and he will inevitably kill himself, if Qiufeng knows, he will definitely fight to the death with the red fox in order to save himself, and now his injury has not healed, it is definitely not the opponent of the red fox, it is better to get drunk, he is alone with the red fox, and then on the wine table, Tianluoer forced the wine out of the body with internal strength, and never got drunk.
As the saying goes, "the moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fire to the sky", tonight the moon is dark and the stars are dark, the wind is howling, the red fox will appear, Tianluoer went straight back to his house, pretended to sleep on the couch, used himself as bait, and waited for the red fox to arrive.
Sure enough, just after midnight, I heard the sound of footsteps in the room, the sound of broken tiles, and suddenly there was a "poof", a man in black held a sharp sword, fell from the roof, and stabbed straight to the Tianluoer below, and the Tianluoer carp jumped up and shouted: "You are really here!" "Lifting the gong in the right palm, he shot out a true qi upward, and the true qi turned into force.
The man in black was frightened, and made a volley move to "turn over", dodging the oncoming palm force, and then a "dancing wind whirlwind" landed, and the two stood next to each other, and Tianluoer said: "Red fox, you and I don't have to be so secretive, you will come to take my life, why do you need to dress up like this?" ”
The man in black didn't speak, he raised his sword and stabbed, Tianluo'er was furious, fighting with his bare hands, the two fought for more than ten rounds, Tianluo'er was very suspicious: "The red fox's palm is strong and fierce, and the move is deadly, but this person's sword palm is as soft as water, which is completely different from the red fox." When the man in black stabbed him, he flashed behind him and hit his left shoulder blade with a palm, the man in black was in pain, knowing that he was not the opponent of Tianluo'er, he threw the sword in his hand, and took the opportunity to jump out of the window and escape.
When Tianluo'er chased out of the house, there was no trace of the man in black, and Tianluo'er thought: "Although this person's figure and appearance are quite similar to the red fox, but he is definitely not a person, who could it be?" In the Yuxiao Palace, except for the red fox, there should be no enemies. I couldn't figure it out, so I turned around and went back to the house.
In the courtyard, a laurel tree is flourishing, the red fox is holding a steel knife, hiding in the tree to peek, the situation of the fight between the two people in the house, all in sight, but seeing his solemn face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and suddenly smiled slyly, the steel knife into the sheath, and flew into the night......
