『Volume 3: The Volume of Fire』 "Red Flame Heroes" Chapter 16 Grievances in front of the Ten Mile Pavilion
In the ten-mile pavilion outside the city, one person is isolated, and he is alone against the remnant sun.
The shadows of the green mountains are faint, the sky is full of blood, the evening breeze blows, and the sound of whining flutes floats from nowhere.
Suddenly, on the loess avenue not far from the pavilion, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.
The man in the pavilion heard the voice and turned his head slowly.
Ai Li urged the horse to come, and when he saw the man, he couldn't help but gather his eyebrows, and the fire rose from his heart, it turned out to be him!
That person is long and jade, and the elegance is overwhelming, if you only look at the back, it is like a jade tree in the wind. It's just that his countenance is obscured by an ebony mask, which glows a dark purple glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Ai Li jumped off the horse and flew forward, "Cangshi, you still have the face to see me!"
Cang Shi looked back, the wind was calm, "I heard that you are looking for me everywhere, I came to see you, didn't it just save trouble?"
Ai Li asked, "Do you know that the Amphibious Ridge is the dragon vein of the current dynasty, and if it moves, it may cause a rebellion?"
"I know. Cangshi replied lightly.
Ai Li held back his anger and pursed his red lips, "Then why did you lie to me that it was a tyrannosaurus?"
"To me, that's a Tyrannosaurus rex. The corner of Cangshi's eyes crossed sharply, "With the blood feud of annihilation, don't you want to overthrow the Li Dynasty and get rid of it quickly?"
Ai Li's face sank like water, "The soldiers are in chaos together, and the lives are ruined." It is a matter of the people of the world, how can they act recklessly because of their own selfishness. What's more, I don't need to talk about my family's affairs as an outsider like you. ”
Cangshi burst out laughing abruptly, and his laughter was clear, revealing a chill.
"Looks like I'm looking for the wrong person. The laughter stopped abruptly, and his voice was as deep as ice, "Well, I won't come to you again, and you won't have to be searched for me." ”
He turned to leave, but Ai Li followed, "Wait!
"He's fine, you don't have to worry. Cangshi's body was stunned.
Ai Li asked, "I want to see him, where is the other?"
Cangshi looked back and sneered: "But I'm afraid he doesn't want to see you." ”
Ai Li refused to give up, "I must see him, I have something to say to him!"
Cangshi looked sideways at her and said playfully: "Ai Nuxia, the capital is not the place you should come. I advise you to go back to the rivers and lakes. ”
Ai Li stared at him without flinching, "Let me see Wulian, I want to know if he is okay." ”
"Yes. Cangshi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Then he said coldly: "But you have to promise me that after seeing him, you will leave the capital as soon as possible, and you will not send anyone to look for him." ”
"He's fine, I'll leave. If I leave, no one will look for him again. ”
"Then it's decided. Cangshi's eyes flashed, "But if you want to see him, I have one condition." ”
"What are the conditions?"
"Give me your knife. When you leave the capital, I will pay you back. ”
Ai was stunned, the Red Flame Farewell Knife was a family heirloom, and it was given by her father on his deathbed, and he had been with her for more than ten years, and he never left easily.
"If you don't, then don't look for him again. Cang Shi looked at him coldly and said lightly, "If you look for it yourself, I believe that no matter how many days you look for, you will not be able to find him." ”
"Take it. Ai Li untied the Red Flame Knife and handed it to him resolutely.
Cangshi took the knife in his hand and said, "I will blindfold you, and no one will know where you are going." ”
Ai glanced at him and said contemptuously: "I can't see it, you really have a lot of sneaky things." ”
"I've never prided myself on being a fair person. Cangshi said calmly.
"Come on. Ai Li snorted coldly.
Cang Shi took out a black cloth from his bosom and blindfolded her.
There was darkness in front of him, and Ai Li felt that his body was light, and he sat on the horse. With a warm back, he also got on the horse. Ai Li couldn't help but be nervous and vigilant.
After getting off the horse and galloping, Ai Li was picked up from his horse and pushed into a sedan chair.
The sedan chair jolted forward, and Ai Li listened carefully. At first there was silence, but gradually there was a commotion. She silently calculated the time, and it should have returned to the downtown area. There was another pillar of incense, the sedan chair stopped, and she was helped out of the sedan chair. After walking more than a dozen steps, I only heard Cangshi's voice ringing in my ears, "Go upstairs." ”
Ai Li was grabbed by his slender waist and walked upstairs according to his prompts. Cangshi stopped in one place and said, "Threshold." Ai Li walked over as he said.
The sound of the door closing behind him sounded, and the cloth was lifted. Ai Li blinked his somewhat blurred eyes, and in front of him was a gorgeous hut, and under the candlelight, there was a person sitting. When the man saw her coming, he stood up in shock, it was Wulian.
Cangshi said lightly to him: "She will definitely see you." I had to let her come. If you have anything on your mind, I will make it clear here. With that, he turned and went out of the house, closing the door with his hand.
Wulian stood stiff, her mouth and eyes wide open, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Ai Li stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Wulian came back to her senses, sniffed, lowered her head and said, "Well, I'm fine." ”
Ai Li looked at him suspiciously.
After being speechless for a long time, Wulian raised her head, "Listening to Cangshi, you came to the capital, but I didn't expect to see you here." Looking into her suspicious eyes, he smiled, "Sister, don't worry, I won't do such stupid things as suicide again." ”
Ai Li looked at him, he was dressed in a lilac brocade robe, covered with a goose-yellow skan, half of his jet-black hair was tied in a bun with a yellow ribbon on the top of his head, and the other half was draped over his shoulders.
"Your hair?"
"Oh, it's a wig. I don't want to be a monk anymore, right?" Wu Lian turned around, her black hair fluttering around her neck, her fair face and a pair of big talking eyes, which were a little more beautiful than the girl's house.
Ai Li saw that he was happy, his brows stretched, and he smiled silently.
Wu Lian took her hand and asked, "Sister has something to do when she comes to the capital?"
Ai Li smiled and said, "I'm coming to you." ”
"Just to come to me?" Wulian tilted her head slightly, her eyes wide in disbelief.
Ai Li nodded, "My younger brother was kidnapped, how can I, who is my sister, not come to look for him?"
Wu Lian turned her back sharply, her head hanging slightly, her black hair fluttering gently on her shoulders.
"Why are you crying again?" Ai Liqian patted him on the back, "You, what a crying ghost." ”
Wulian sobbed and said, "This is the last time. After this time, I stopped crying. ”
Ai Li chuckled, "You always love to cry so much, I can't change it in the future." ”
Wu Lian wiped her tears, turned her head and smiled at her, "By the way, I have a lot of delicious dim sum here, which are delicious." He pulled Ai Li to sit down at the table, and offered her a piece of hibiscus cake.
Ai Li took a tasteful bite.
Wulian looked at her without blinking for a moment, "Is it delicious?"
Ai Li nodded, "Well, it's delicious." This hibiscus cake is different from the hibiscus cake she often eats, it is extremely loose and soft, and when you bite into it, it is sweet and fragrant.
Wu Lian said happily, "I knew you would like it." When I was eating it just now, I was thinking that it would be nice if my sister could taste it with me. ”
He picked out a piece of snack from the box and gave it to her, "Sister, try this chestnut cake, it tastes very good." The dim sum here is home-made, and you can't taste it anywhere else. ”
Ai Li put the pastry aside, "To be honest, did Cangshi do anything to you?"
Wu Lian smiled and said, "How come, my life is still saved by him." ”
Ai Li stared into his eyes, "Does he want you to do something dangerous?"
"Nope. Wu Lian put away her smile and looked directly at her, "Everything I do is voluntary, and no one forces me. ”
Ai Li frowned, "Don't get involved in his scheme, I'm here to take you away from him." ”
"Sister, I can't go!" Wulian shook her head violently, "I'm going to stay and do what I'm supposed to do." A light rose in his eyes, "My sister said, I love to cry, I eat well, and I can't endure hardship, and I have learned a lot with you." Even if I can't be as strong and unyielding as you say, at least I have to try to be a strong person like you!"
The candlelight reflected his reddish cheeks, and his eyes flashed with a determination that Ai Li had never seen before.
After a while, Ai Li said softly: "If you think you have to do it......"
"Yes, I have to do it!" said Wulian impatiently, for fear that she would not agree.
Ai Li sighed helplessly, "But you have to promise me not to do dangerous things." ”
Wulian lowered her eyes and face, and said "um".
Ai Li looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
Wulian hesitated and said, "This is ......"
"This is a place you shouldn't be. ”
Cang Shi appeared at the door at some point, and said expressionlessly: "Ai Nuxia, can you go now?"
Wu Lian glanced at him, took Ai Li's hand and stood up, "Sister, let's go." I'm glad you came to see me. Don't worry about me, I'm already an adult and will take care of myself. ”
Ai Li slowly got up, "I'm leaving." Take care of yourself and never do anything dangerous. ”
"Hmm. Wu Lian covered the reluctance in her eyes, smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry." I'll be fine. ”
Cang Shi stepped forward and blindfolded Ai Li again and led her away.
Speechless all the way.
In front of the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city, Cangshi untied the blindfolded black cloth for her.
He said in a soothing tone: "Ai Nuxia, I have let you meet the person you want to meet, and now is the time for you to leave the capital as promised." ”
Ai Li stretched out his hand expressionlessly, "Where's my knife?"
Cangshi returned the Red Flame Parting Knife to her.
Ai Li silently took the knife.
Cangshi handed over the reins of the horse again, "Ai Nuxia has a good journey, so I won't be far away." ”
Ai Li looked up at him, and through the mask, he could see that his eyes were shining, as if he was smiling after relaxation.
Ai Li reached for the reins, but suddenly grabbed his veins and drew a knife with his backhand, resting it on his neck.
Cangshi was defenseless, and was immediately restrained by her, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean by this?"
Ai Li forced him with a knife, "Say, what do you want Wulian to do?"
Cang Shi stiffened his back instead, and said in a cold voice: "The people in the rivers and lakes call the 'Flame Knife' Ai Li's generation of heroines, and now it seems that it is just a lie. ”
Ai Li also said coldly: "You deceived me first, why should I be polite to you." ”
"Whatever I asked Wulian to do, you asked him, and you should know that everything was of his own free will. ”
Ai Li pushed him to sit down in the long pavilion, "You saved Wulian, I won't hurt you this time." ”
Cangshi glared at her fiercely, "So, I still have to accept your love?"
Ai Li clicked on his acupoint, "It will take four hours for this acupoint to be unlocked, so you can stay here tonight and don't get in the way." ”
She put away her sword and got on the horse, and suddenly turned her head again and said sharply: "I can ignore what you are plotting." But if you use Wulian to do something dangerous, I will never let you go!"
Cangshi, who was sitting stiffly under the pavilion, looked at her back as she straddled her horse, and two compelling lights flashed under the black mask.
