Chapter 64: Fox and ghost, Zhao Yunxi happened to meet Lan Ling
"Boomβ"
The rain does not stop, and the wind does not stop.
At night, I was not at all restless by the sound of the raindrops.
The capital, in a house.
There are all brocade guards who control all the movements around them.
I saw them wearing robes, embroidered spring knives at their waists, standing straight on both sides of the courtyard.
In the house, the lights are bright.
"Wow-"
With thunder and lightning, a figure holding an umbrella appeared on the ground in an instant.
In the dripping rain, a crisp copper bell kept echoing in everyone's ears.
Everyone noticed it and immediately locked their eyes on the person who came.
I only heard in the distance, and a graceful figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Holding a red oil-paper umbrella, the umbrella droops, and small copper bells are hung along the four sides of the umbrella.
Although it was a night of heavy rain and thunder, the sound was still very clear.
Perhaps it was deliberate, but the umbrella concealed the upper half of the woman's face. Under the umbrella, only the delicate and somewhat confident vermilion thin lips are revealed. The white cheeks looked weird because of the reflection of the umbrella.
Wearing a half-red kimono made by plum blossoms, it was a little foxy and enchanting.
Walking barefoot slowly, towards the crowd.
"What people! Stop me! The knife in his hand gradually revealed half of the blade as the woman approached.
The leader's shout did not stop the woman from moving forward, but made her walk faster. The corners of her mouth twitched, and with a strange laugh around her, the woman's footsteps became more strange and fast. No one could see her footsteps.
Like an evil ghost, its figure flickered.
The damn atmosphere made everyone's hands tremble, and it was so hard.
The ghostly figure was the first time they had seen it in their lives.
Just a few steps away from everyone, the woman disappeared in front of everyone.
"Be vigilant! The demon girl reappears, and there is no forgiveness for killing! β
The voice was low, and there was a brass bell ringing around them, and the sound was very close, as if it was beside them.
"Are you looking for me?"
The leader felt a rush of heat in his ears, accompanied by a soul-stirring laughter, echoing throughout the night sky.
The people looked up at the night sky, and the rain disappeared above their heads. It's as if someone is holding an umbrella for them.
Just when everyone looked up at the night sky and was surprised,
"Whoa!"
The red oil-paper umbrella turns.
"Whoosh ββ!"
Countless tiny white lines shot out around the umbrella and pierced everyone's throats.
The white thread turned bloodshot in an instant, directing strands of blood to converge on the surface of the umbrella.
In less than a moment, the crowd fell to the ground.
"Squeak-"
The door was opened.
In the room were several brocade guards, and behind them were indeed several boxes with seals attached.
I saw the slender legs stepping into the house, but this extremely seductive figure made everyone hold embroidered spring knives, but they didn't dare to step forward and fight. In front of their eyes, apart from the scarlet lips, were the slender legs.
"Don't be nervous! The slave is just here to get these boxes back, and I don't like to kill people. Besides! Later, there will be a place for you! As she spoke, the woman's hand rested on the back of the hand of the brocade guard in front of her, who was holding an embroidered spring knife. As the slender hand swept over the back of the hand, the hand that had been shaking no longer trembled.
"Whenβ"
ββ
As the embroidered spring knives in the hands of several brocade guards slipped down, their eyes began to become dim, they lost their spirits, and they became a little more ghostly.
Turning around and walking to the box, he lifted it and walked out the door.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
The purple dragon robe made the person in front of him look even more noble. The majesty and dignity made people dare not approach easily.
"Humph! What a guts! The man threw the song in front of Cao Yanqing's eyes, turned around and said angrily: "Is it so blatant to steal official silver?" β
After that, his eyes showed a cold light, squeezed out a few inviolable eyes, and shot obliquely at Cao Yanqing, who was kneeling on the ground behind him.
Cao Yanqing suddenly felt a trace of murderous aura, and his body trembled at the sharp eyes.
"Tell me about it! Are they humans or ghosts? How did we steal the official money right under our noses? β
"Slave - slave is not clear." Qu Changqing swallowed his saliva and said carefully.
As soon as these words came out, the person in front of him suddenly looked like a wolf, his angry cheeks were like drums, and his slightly dark cheeks couldn't hide the aura of the overlord, but in an instant, he turned his anger into joy, turned around and squatted down, and said to Cao Yanqing in front of him: "You said that once this person lied, what way can you know whether he is telling the truth or a lie?" β
The meaning of the words, how could Cao Yanqing not know that he was forced to lower his head a little more, trying to avoid this cold light.
didn't know that Cao Yanqing's actions completely angered the people in front of him. With a slight squint in his eyes, tens of thousands of ways to die flashed through his mind. However, he didn't let go, just chuckled, but Cao Yanqing's hands trembled incessantly.
I saw him get up and say to Cao Yanqing disdainfully: "You get up!" β
"Why don't we leave this errand to you!" Before Cao Yanqing could reply, he added: "Remember! You are the only one who knows about this, and you must not leak the news! No matter what methods and means you use, as long as you can recover those stolen silver taels, we will not investigate you for the crime of defrauding the king, do you understand? β
"Slaves understand! Minions understand! β
"Hmmm! That's good! Go ahead! β
"The minions are gone!"
Looking at the departing back, he turned his head to look at the figure that flashed behind the curtain. With a look, the man immediately understood and followed away.
After Cao Yanqing, who came out of the imperial study, glanced back, swallowed his saliva, immediately wiped the sweat off his forehead, and hurried towards the palace gate.
Zhao Yunxi, who came down from Xiantan Mountain, found a cave at the bottom of the mountain in order to avoid the downpour, and has been sheltering from the rain for several days.
Penniless, he had no choice but to take the prey in the mountains and eat a mouthful of food.
At that moment, there was a noise outside the entrance of the cave. Zhao Yunxi got up to investigate, and when he was about to go out of the hole, a figure came to him and seemed to crash into his arms.
"Huh!"
The person who came turned out to be a white-faced little scholar dressed in white and carrying a box on his shoulder. Seeing Zhao Yunxi, he made a false alarm, patted his chest, and said, "I didn't expect that there were still people living in this cave!" I'm sorry! I'm sorry! β
"It's fine!"
If this scholar is a little unfamiliar, but his face is delicate, and he is somewhat similar to the woman who appeared in Yuzhou City that day. But the difference is that this man's face is fair and delicate, and his eyes are full of moisture, which is a little pitiful. If it is a woman, not to mention the country and the city, it is definitely a comparison with Ruoshui, who is known as Xiao Zhuge in Yuzhou City.
"Dare to ask what your brother is called?" The white-faced little student asked Zhao Yunxi with a fist.
"My surname is Zhao, and my name is Yunxi."
"Brother Zhao is good, Xiao Ke's surname is Lan, and his single name is a spiritual character."
After a shabby discussion, the two sat down and roasted the meat.
"Come on! It's still some way from the city, so it's better to fill your hunger and wait for a while! With that, Zhao Yunxi handed a piece of roasted rabbit meat to Lan Ling's eyes.
Seeing that huge piece of rabbit meat, Lan Ling was a little embarrassed and looked a little overwhelmed.
"What, you're afraid that I'm going to be drugged?"
"Not really!" Lan Ling pointed to the rabbit meat in front of him, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's just that this rabbit meat is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it all by myself, and it's wasted!" β
"That's fine!" Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi took off the rabbit leg and handed it over. Lan Ling hurriedly thanked him and caught it.
"I said that this barren mountain and wilderness, are you quite bold alone! Not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards? Zhao Yunxi said to Lan Ling on the side.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, because I have a way of driving away wild beasts!"
"Whew! To be so magical! Zhao Yunxi was a little curious, and asked: "I don't know what the method is, let's hear it!" β
"This method is only because it is a secret study at home, I can't tell you, I hope Brother Zhao can understand!" Lan Ling said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay! Don't worry! After that, Zhao Yunxi had a little more sorrow, and after a long sigh, he said: "After all, everyone has a secret of their own. β
"It seems that Brother Zhao has suffered a lot to make such a sigh, right?" Lan Ling guessed.
"Sort of!" Zhao Yunxi changed the topic and asked Lan Ling, "I don't know who Brother Lan is, why did he go to this mountain to look for herbs?" β
"Xiao Ke is a person from Jing'an, and his ancestors have a single lineage. When I was born, my father and mother passed away, leaving my grandfather and I to live together. My grandfather practiced medicine all his life and helped countless patients. He was afraid that I would be helpless in the future, so he passed on my life's work to me, until he died when he had achieved a small achievement. I'm the only one left to run around. β
"So, you and I are somewhat alike."
"Brother Zhao is also alone?"
Zhao Yunxi nodded and said, "Maybe I'm the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon Lone Star!" Anyone who is close to me is gone because of me. They still remember me even when they die. Pity me but there is nothing I can do about it, and I see them leave me. It's a feeling I still can't forget. β
"Don't blame yourself too much! Everything is predestined, and it has nothing to do with you and me. Human beings are born as a chess piece in the world, and the only thing we do is to live in the present, not to think about the past, not to be afraid of the future, and to live up to the rest of our lives. β
"That's exactly what you say! It's a pity that I can't let go, and I'm a nostalgic person. β
"People in the world, who is not nostalgic. It's just that we can see it or not, so why bother with the past! With that, Lan Ling picked up the wooden box and said, "Just like me." They are gone, but they have left me with an infinite fortune. The hanging pot helps the world's doctors and people, and the wonderful hand rejuvenates and relieves the pain. β
"That's just as well! It seems that what they left for me is probably the same hanging pot to help the world! Zhao Yunxi remembered the mystery that had not been solved - the yellow golden dragon handkerchief.
"Praise to the doctor to save people from the sick, and its emphasis is to help the world. There are so many ways to help the world, it just depends on how we choose. Or just enter the career, for the country and the people. Or fight the sword in the world, save the dead and help the wounded. Lan Ling said with feeling.
"Do you know a lot?"
"Huh! It's just a life insight! β
As the campfire faded out, both fell into deep thought. It wasn't until the cold wind hit that Zhao Yunxi felt that he had lost his temper, so he left the cave on the pretext of looking for firewood.
[Test question: 1, who will be the woman in red? Was it really her who stole the official silver?
2, Will the appearance of the Blue Spirit be a coincidence? What kind of consequences will his appearance bring to Zhao Yunxi? γ
