Chapter 12: Young Heroes
A month later.
Lop.
In the battle a month ago, Mo Zhi died, and the summer night was on the verge of death.
After completing its mission, the sword body of the sword also burst out, losing its light, and turning back into a scrap metal with only the hilt left. The souls of the soldiers of the five countries of the Western Regions also dissipated and passed away.
The righteous people secretly left Loulan when An Fuhai and the evil souls were fighting for evil, and took Xia Ye and Zhong Nuo to Lop Nur to recuperate.
After a month of careful care by Huayu, the two of them were able to move around.
At night, at the beginning of the day, the moon is bright and slightly cool.
At this time, the two were lying on the edge of Lop Nur drinking wine and admiring the moon. After a full meal of dried meat, the watermelon fell asleep beside him on a summer night.
Not far away, the people of Wudangmen are lighting poplar branches and distilling out the water of Lop Nur Lake, which has been detoxified by Huayu.
Although the water of this lake is poisonous and salty, both of them are equipped with people who know how to heal, and both have things that can be used in the desert, and they can be drunk with a little treatment.
Zhong Nuo snorted lightly after seeing it, "It's ridiculous." Obviously, both good and evil know that there is no more than a hundred miles outside Loulan is Lop Nur, but no one goes out of the city to get water. ”
The summer night is playing with poplar flowers, silently.
Zhong Nuo turned his head and asked, "The little brother has been sullen since he woke up." But because of the words of the divine doctor? ”
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and said, "No." It's because of muttering. I have always been reluctant to owe others, and when they were so friendly to me, I killed her father. I went back to the Central Plains, and I didn't see each other. ”
Zhong Nuo said: "Mo Zhi's daughter, don't forget? That's really embarrassing. ”
Zhong Nuo couldn't help but think of Bai Yu and fell into nostalgia.
Seeing Zhong Nuo's expression, Xia Ye couldn't help but say the wrong thing, "Hmm...... I plan to go north to visit the Danxia landform, I wonder if the Lord of the Zhong Alliance is interested in accompanying me? ”
Zhong Nuo shook his head, "The Righteous Path Alliance has a lot of affairs, and I can't be as comfortable as a little brother." If you have a chance to see you again, you will definitely take your little brother to have a good time in Jiangnan. ”
Summer Night smiled back, "Okay." If there is a fate, you must go to the appointment. ”
Looking at Zhong Nuo and the moon meditating, Xia Ye also recalled the incident with Bai Yu three years ago.
"Little brother has good eyesight. No one in the alliance ever saw it. I've always been quite confident about this. ”
"Haha. He was indeed too upright to see the sand. Although I also have the ambition of the same way, but as a daughter, it is okay to be the head of the Bai family, but it is nonsense to be the leader of the alliance. I can only entrust my volunteer to him and help him from the side. ”
"The change of dynasties and the rotation of good and evil are the way of heaven. I have no intention of acting against the heavens and clarifying Yuyu. I only hope that this peace can be a little longer after it comes. I'm sure he can do it. ”
"Daughter's love? Ha ha. Childhood sweetheart, how can it be ruthless. But there are more important things than that, which can only be saved for the next day. ”
……
Another month later.
At noon, there were no clouds in the sky, and the poisonous sun was hanging high.
Imperial City, Imperial Study.
The Emperor paced slowly, looking at the secret fold in his hand. A eunuch knelt at the table, trembling like chaff. On the side of the shelf hangs Shang Fang's sword.
Fold the book, "A total of 417 people went to Loulan Road outside Yumen Pass, and 132 people returned." There is Zuozhou, don't drive An Fuhai, and his whereabouts are unknown. According to those who returned, the soldiers had been destroyed. When the nineteen people of the righteous path entered the customs, they were besieged and killed by the September Tower. The newcomer killed 28 people in Tiangang in September on a summer night, 65 people in the earth and the owner of the building inexplicably. Zhong Nuo, the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, was seriously injured ......"
The emperor threw the fold on the table.
The eunuch hurriedly kept kowtowing, "The subordinates are not doing their work effectively...... Failed to retrieve Excalibur...... I hope the emperor will punish him! ”
The emperor bowed slightly and said to him: "You have recommended yourself to take on this errand. And with his life as a guarantee, he can retrieve the divine soldier. Now the Divine Soldier is ruined. An Fuhai's whereabouts are unknown. In September, the building was also completely destroyed. How did you do this Dongchang factory? ”
The eunuch knocked his head on the blood and said in a trembling voice: "The crimes of his subordinates deserve death!" Sin deserves death! ”
The Emperor bent down and tilted his head to look at his face, "You have always been intelligent, and you have had a lot of good advice. But it seems that you can't do this errand. You don't have to worry about Dongchang anymore. In the future, I will stay in the imperial study and be a companion to read. ”
The eunuch burst into tears, "Thank the emperor for not killing!" ”
The emperor took off his sword, walked around behind the eunuch and said, "If you don't need to run errands, then you don't need these legs." ”
Both of his legs were cut off at the root.
The eunuch wailed in pain, and then hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands, not daring to make another sound. The muscles of his hands were bruised, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his face was pale, and he almost fainted.
The emperor said again: "If you only need to admonish, then you don't need these hands." ”
The eunuch was shocked and pained, and his eyes were violent.
Two more swords. The eunuch broke his hands again, screamed in pain, and fainted.
The emperor put away his sword and said to the other eunuch beside him, "Let him always read with him in the imperial study." brick walls. ”
……
The cold night, the sky is full of stars.
The emperor stood outside the imperial study and looked at the stars with his hands behind his back. One man was half-kneeling behind him.
"Originally, the September Building was used to balance the Seven Stars Death Gate, and then An Fuhai was installed to monitor the September Building. Now it is gone, and the divine soldiers have not yet arrived, all because this is called the person of the summer night. You go and check. "The emperor said to the people behind him.
The man replied, "My subordinates receive orders." ”
……
At the same time, the headquarters of the September Building.
The carved lobby is brightly lit.
On the throne sat an old man with a sixtieth birthday. Although his hair is white, he is in good spirits. A young girl stood beside her.
Ninety-three men in black knelt down in the hall.
"From today onwards, Don't forget to be the new owner." The old landlord inexplicably said to the twenty-eight Tiangang and sixty-five Tiangang under the hall.
Tiangang replied in unison: "Yes! ”
Mo Forget, who was beside him inexplicably, stepped forward, "The content of the task has been distributed, so you can do what you want." Retire. ”
When everyone heard this, they disappeared.
Inexplicably, don't forget, "You are already the owner of the building, and you can no longer favor your children's private affairs." ”
Don't forget that his face was cold, and his eyebrows were murderous, "I'm not wrong. Girlish feelings are human nature. But it's just an ordinary thing, so why is it hard to throw it away? But the revenge of killing his father is not shared! ”
Inexplicably relieved and smiled: "Okay! Then I can rest assured that I will entrust this September building to you. Then he handed over a book to Don't Forget.
Don't forget to kneel and kowtow, raise your hand to take it, and only see the three words in the book, "four chronology".
Don't forget to look at the cheats and think to yourself, "Three years." On a summer night, don't die. When I get out of the customs in three years, I'll kill you with my own hands! ”
……
The sky is sunny at the beginning of the day, and the night rain is over, and the sun is correct.
A young monk is walking slowly through the market with a dilapidated oxcart covered with rags.
The market is bustling with all sorts of people.
Groups of people chatted on the side of the tavern street.
"Have you heard? In the battle of Yumen Pass, a young man called the summer night fought in September, and killed them all. ”
"Eighty or ninety of them. Kill the piece of armor and leave it behind. What a hero. ”
"I heard that the trip to Loulan is still a great benefactor of the Baidao people."
"It is rumored that the Seven Stars Death Gate was also destroyed by him. What a genius, a genius. ”
The little monk couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
When the people in the rivers and lakes who were drinking heard this, they said angrily: "Little monk, what are you laughing at? Do you be more heroic than that summer night? ”
The little monk waved his hand and shook his head, "Don't dare, don't dare." I'm glad that the rivers and lakes can produce such a hero. Hahaha. ”
Walking to the corner of the deep alley, the summer night lifted the rags, closed his eyes and breathed happily.
"Can't you just find a clean cloth? Did the rags come from the latrines? "The summer night is not enough.
Obscure Ming laughed and said: "It's not cloth smell, it's not nose smell, it's heart smell." Hahaha. ”
Summer nights are really laughing and crying.
A month ago, he said goodbye to everyone, ignored Hua Yu's warning, and went north alone with a serious injury. But when he had not gone far, he fainted with sorrow and fatigue. Fortunately, before being eaten by watermelon, he met Hao Ming, who rushed to Loulan to collect the body, and treated him, and carried him back to Yumen Pass, and took him all the way to seek medical advice.
But at some point, the rivers and lakes suddenly rumored that he fought with Jiujiulou at Yumen Pass, and killed him to the ground. He became famous overnight on a summer night and became an immortal young hero. No matter where he is, he has become the focus of attention, so that he does not dare to say his real name lightly now.
And the watermelon also stopped outside the Yumen Pass, unwilling to enter the customs with him. He could only leave a few catties of dried meat and say goodbye to it.
Recently, his injuries have worsened and he is unable to move. Hui Ming found a broken ox cart and pulled him on the road. In order not to be recognized, he was also covered with a cloth to cover him.
Obscure Ming wanted to make some food, but he didn't want to eat the food that came on a summer night. I wanted to sell Anfuhai's Kyushu mountain and river fan, but I found that it had already been ragged by the rain, and my clothes were not far behind. Rummaging through the whole body, only the flying needle was still sold at the top price, so he could only let Hao Ming take it to the pawnshop in exchange for a few pieces of silver.
Obscure asked, "Is this the donor's weapon?" Does this deserve it? ”
Summer Night casually returned, "It's good to steal it back in the future." ”
While eating roast chicken on a summer night, he sighed that the two of them were like entering a beggar gang at this time. I also feel that it is not bad to play in the beggar gang for a few days, or I can see the dragon palm.
Obscure Ming devoured blanched vegetables and rice, and whimpered: "More than ten miles away, I will arrive at the twilight city." There is the headquarters of the Hua family, which is the first of the five major doctors. Presumably when you get there, the donor's injury will be worry-free. ”
Summer Night took a sip of wine and said, "What are your plans next?" ”
Obscure said: "I am going back to Loulan." There are still a lot of people there who haven't come back. ”
Xia Ye put down the roast chicken and said: "That is the case, then I will thank the little monk for his kindness all the way while I am still sober." ”
Xuan Ming waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks." "Keep your head down and eat. In a few moments, the meal was eaten.
Xia Ye looked at the hungry appearance of Xuan Ming, and then looked at the roast chicken that was still half left in front of him, and handed it over, "Eat more?" ”
Obscure Ming tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then took the roast chicken and ate it.
Summer Night handed over the wine again, "The chicken is too fat, come and drink to clean your mouth." ”
Obscure Ming took a sip of the wine, handed it back to Summer Night, and then continued to eat chicken.
Summer Night playfully smiled: "Didn't the master teach the five precepts of Buddhism?" ”
Hui Ming replied while eating: "The five precepts are aimed at self-denial and meditation. Although I smell and taste, my heart is not disturbed, just to be full. Then there is no need to be rigid about the precepts. ”
Xia Ye laughed, "It's still the little monk who has a temper with me." Then he drank the shochu in his hand in one gulp.
