After leaving Xiaonanqiao, all the way is on the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, spring is about to end, the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River look more delicate and soft, the sun hangs high overhead, and the spring is still full of joy.

The cool breeze was blowing in the face quickly, and it was not too hot.

Anjing City is still far away, Chang'an is even farther, and it will take many days to walk on this road.

The first place out of the small south bridge is called Fuliu Town, Futong Fu, listen to the people in the town say that the reason why this name is called is because Fuliu Town is located at the edge of the south of the Yangtze River, which is the dividing line with the small South Bridge.

And the key point is that there are really a lot of willow trees in Fuliu Town, which are weeping willows.

The weeping willow is also a kind of willow tree, and the willow branches and leaves hang down from the tree, and the longest of them will even fall to the ground and stand on both sides of the road.

The town is very small, but there are many guests coming and going, most of them are Jianghu tourists and merchants who are in a hurry, and many of them have injuries on their bodies.

When passing by the tavern, you can faintly hear someone banging on the table and shouting that he is also a person who has shed blood for the country.

Liang Xiaodao led the horse, and the red sleeves sat on the horse's back, with a faint smile on his face.

"Do you hear that?"

He reached out and patted Li Xiu's leg and asked with some joy.

"I'm not deaf yet. ”

Li Xiu glanced at him and said a little unhappily.

He is enjoying the view from the side of the road, and the view of the small place often reveals a lot of chic, which is very beautiful.

"It's something to be proud of. ”

Liang Xiaodao said.

"It's certainly something to be proud of and something to brag about. ”

Listening to the loud laughter that kept coming from the tavern, Li Xiu nodded and said.

To do good deeds is to speak out, and to do bad deeds is to hide.

If you don't say it, who knows you've done good deeds?

After all, there are very few people with a clear conscience, and they don't stop in Fuliu Town, just like passers-by walking in from the south side of the town, listening to Baiwei go all the way and then walk out from the north side of the town.

Nothing was left but footprints.

At this time, the sky was just right, not too late, and the official road in Datang had always been very wide, enough to accommodate many people moving side by side, but the four of them gradually gathered their horses' hooves, because there was a carriage in front of them.

It was a carriage but no horses, only a woman with a gray head and a dirty face.

There was a child sitting in the car, not very old, only ** years old, and it was the most naughty time.

The age that should have been able to jump and jump was now sitting in the carriage in a daze, motionless, without saying a word, and drooling from his mouth.

It's a stupid kid.

The carriage was light, but it must have been heavy to pull, especially if a woman wanted to pull it up and down the road.

Red sleeves are a little unbearable, she has suffered a lot, naturally she can't see others suffering, so she took out a silver ingot from her arms and planned to send it over, although it is not much, but it is enough to use it for a period of time, if you go back to Fuliu Town to buy a small storefront, you should be able to live a life of food and clothing.

Liang Xiaodao reached out and pinched the ingot, turned over, dismounted, and walked over.

Li Xiu patted the horse's head, and the horse galloped in front of the woman, he looked at the stupid child, and after being silent for a while, he dismounted and walked with Liang Xiaodao.

Xu Yingxiu stood in place and leaned towards the red sleeves.

"Is there something wrong with the two sons?"

The woman pulled the car to a halt, shrank back, looked at the two of them with some hesitation, and asked in a whisper.

Her face was dirty, covered in dust and dirt, and her eyes looked timid and frightened.

"It's nothing, it's just that I happened to pass by and saw you pulling a cart alone and was quite pitiful, and I wanted to ask what happened?"

Li Xiu asked.

The war in Xiaonanqiao has just ended, and many people are ruined.

Lao Gongzi was worried and grateful. ”

The woman saluted them, and it seemed that they were not all ladies, but at least they were small jasper.

Li Xiu set his eyes on the child's body, and when the woman saw it, she was so sad that she cried quietly, explaining the reason while crying.

It turned out that she was originally from Chang'an, and her husband married to Xiaonanqiao to join the army, in this battle her husband died in battle, only orphans and widows were left, and her son was born with defects, she was really difficult to make ends meet alone, so she thought about returning to Chang'an to join her parents, no matter what, let the child live.

It's a cliché story.

It's also a story that happens from time to time.

"How can you go to Chang'an for thousands of miles?

Liang Xiaodao's brows furrowed, and his tone was a little unkind.

He's not aiming for that, of course

If the woman goes, according to the Tang law, the soldier's death pension will be distributed to the family members in a lot, and increased as appropriate.

It's not much, but it's enough for a family of five to live on for a few months.

It stands to reason that it is not only enough for their mother and son to spend, but they can even hire a carriage to go straight to Chang'an, why did they fall into such a miserable situation?

The woman didn't speak, but her eyes darkened a lot, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

Now it's just that I've just left Xiaonanqiao, how many mountains and rivers are blocking the way in the south of the Yangtze River?

How is she going?

The woman didn't know what to do, her hands trembled slightly, her eyes were dazed, and a little despair gradually appeared in the depths of those eyes.

How is she going to walk in the endless mountains and deep forests on this road?

The child cried for some reason, very noisy.

Li Xiu frowned.

He turned back and stretched out his hand at Liang Xiaodao, who placed the silver ingot in his palm.

"This ingot of silver is enough to hire a carriage from here to Chang'an, and it is enough for you to go back to Fuliu Town now to do a small business with enough food and clothing, how do you want to choose?"

Li Xiu held the ingot of silver and placed it in front of the woman's eyes and asked.

These are two good options.

So you can choose whatever you want.

Liang Xiaodao put his hands at his side and watched quietly, and the woman stared at the ingot of silver with some hesitation, not knowing how to choose.

"Is it hard to choose? I'm good at multiple-choice questions, so why don't you let me help you choose?"

Li Xiu looked into her eyes and continued to ask.

"Which one does Childe want to help me choose?"

The woman rubbed her hands together and wiped the tears from her face, making a mark in the dust.

"You can choose either one. ”

Li Xiu said.

The woman shook her head, her tousled hair covering her face and a smile: "I don't want to choose either way." ”

Li Xiu put down the ingot of silver, was silent for a while, and then said, "Since you don't want to choose anything, then go and die." ”

The branches on both sides of the official road were bent by the wind, and the raised gravel left many small holes in the leaves.

The piercing cries came to an abrupt end at this moment.

Liang Xiaodao's knife had already been chopped off the head, and the blade of the knife was glowing white in the sunlight, which was very dazzling.

The woman's body retreated sharply at this moment, avoided the sword light and fell on the carriage, standing with the **-year-old child, looking at Li Xiu and the others with a gloomy face.

Liang Xiaodao took a step forward and blocked Li Xiu's body, his face expressionless.

Li Xiu patted him on the shoulder, put his right hand on his waist, and gently pulled out the long sword, the blade of which slashed through the scabbard and made a sound like gold and iron.

"How did Your Highness find out that I was waiting?"

The woman looked herself up and down and asked, a little puzzled.

She really doesn't understand, whether she is dressed or demeanor, she behaves just right, even if it is not seamless, it is comparable to the best play.

There should be no possibility of detection.

Liang Xiaodao's face was sarcastic.

"Datang is a country based on force, anything can go wrong, but there is no possibility of a problem with the issuance of pensions, and no one dares to make a fuss about it, your body is very dirty, but there is no smell coming out, I think my nose has not been blocked. ”

"Squalor without the smell is like perfunctory to us. ”

The woman was stunned.

"That's all?"

"That's enough, the most important thing is that you don't smell good. ”

Li Xiu said.

The woman laughed twice, made an ugly gurgling sound, pointed at Liang Xiaodao and said, "He just said that I don't have a smell on my body. ”

Li Xiu looked at her and said seriously: "What he said was the smell, and what I said was the smell of the little orchid." ”

"Little orchid?"

The woman's face changed, her dirty hair rose back with the wind, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Li Xiu did not speak.

He used to like to smell the smell of little orchids, because Cong Xiao carried this smell on his body, although it was very light, it smelled very comfortable.

It was not a sachet that I carried with me, but a kind of exercise, and practicing that kind of exercise would make the aura change with it, like a faint little orchid.

But now I don't like smelling it, I can't say I hate it, I just don't like it.

These are two different meanings.

The only thing that is the same is sensitivity.

"Are you Qu Linyang's people?"

Li Xiu asked.

"Who told you?"

The woman's face finally became completely gloomy, and even the child who looked a little stupid slowly put his eyes on Li Xiu's body, and his eyes were in it

Icy cold.

"It seems that he guessed that I would definitely go to Anjing City to find him, so he sent the two of you over to block the way, is it an espionage?"

Li Xiu held the sword in his right hand and pointed obliquely at the ground, and there was a bit of pitch black in the depths of those eyes, and then spread.

"It's just a meeting, Your Highness is too worried. ”

The woman bowed her head slightly, gradually reining in the gloom on her countenance, and explained.

"Looks like you should know something. ”

"Your Highness, if you're curious, I might be able to tell you some stories. ”

Li Xiu shook his head: "I like a lot of things, but I hate to listen to stories, not only old-fashioned but also vulgar, like a big bowl of tea in the back street, everything is the same, you may know some, but it must not be as much as Qu Linyang, there are some things I don't like to listen to twice, so I'll wait a few days and I'll go to Anjingcheng to ask him in person." ”

"Compared to what I want to know, I'm more curious about how the forces of the Wasteland have taken such deep roots in the Tang Kingdom, and how many forces are similar to this, you should know this. ”

He stared at the face that was by no means pretty, and his tone was flat, but the words he said made the woman's face run into a cold sweat, and the child's face was full of ferocity.

The two did not speak.

Li Xiu didn't mind: "Whether you say it or not, when I return to Chang'an, the people of the academy will take action to pull out all the wasteland forces in the Tang Realm, and you have crossed the line." ”

"What to do is your business, it has nothing to do with us, this meeting has been very rewarding, Your Highness just continue to move forward, and the two of us will leave. ”

The woman arched her hand at him, intending to leave.

The tip of the sword slashed across the ground, and the gravel bounced up and hit the sword with a soft sound, and Li Xiu blocked her way.

Those eyes gradually narrowed into a slit: "Of course you can leave if you want to, but my time is precious, and you have been delayed for a quarter of an hour, so you have to leave a life." ”

Li Xiu pointed his sword at her and the cruel child beside him, and his words were cold: "Your life, or his life, must be left behind, which can be regarded as my thank you gift to Qu Linyang." ”

"Your Highness, you know that there are some things that you can't say nonsense, and they will kill people. ”

The child looked up at Li Xiu and showed a smile, his mouth full of sharp teeth and sharp teeth, and the green tendons on his face were clearly visible, looking extremely penetrating.

"In that case, then leave your life alone. ”

Li Xiu looked at him, then raised his arm and pointed out with a sword, the sword shadow was heavy, covering the square circle in front of him, making it impossible to distinguish the truth.

Ten thousand swords can be killed, and ten thousand swords are tied to one sword.

This is another use of typhoid.

"You want to kill me, why are you, hairy boy?"

The child let out a series of strange laughs, raised his arms and pinched Li Xiu's long sword accurately among the ten thousand swords, and the sword shadow disappeared.

There were several sword marks on the child's arm, which were not too deep, and blood seeped outward.

He stuck out his tongue and licked it, smiling bloodthirsty.

At the same time, Liang Xiaodao's body bent forward and rushed towards the ground, and the long knife glowed with cold light.

The woman's face was ugly, and her figure pounced on her like a ghost, she was a wandering monk, and the child was also a cultivator in the upper three levels, Li Xiu and Liang Xiaodao were a beginner and a half-step into the three levels, why should they share life and death with them?

It's looking for death.

Redsleeves sat on the horse, a little pale, and his eyes were full of worry.

Xu Yingxiu's face was expressionless, and the dust was lying across her chest.

The woman's claws were so sharp that if they were touched, they would either be killed or mutilated.

But Li Xiu turned a blind eye, and Liang Xiaodao didn't look at her.

Bear Fat opened his eyes, a little sleepy, and a little bored and wagged his tail.

The woman's body was pumped out and slammed into the carriage, and the planks fell and shattered.

Liang Xiaodao's knife slashed at the child's feet, and the dwarf jumped up and rolled over and kicked Liang Xiaodao's back, Li Xiu let go of the hilt of the sword, and his hands were palmed on the dwarf's chest.

The green tendons on the child's face popped out, and a dark red color appeared, and a silver needle appeared in his hand and flew towards Li Xiu's throat.

A knife suddenly appeared across his throat and blocked the silver needle.

The bodies of the three men each stepped back.

A mouthful of blood spat out of Liang's knife, and the dwarf child took a few steps backwards in a row and grinned horrifyingly.

The sword still dangled in the air, and in a flash it swept forward, bringing up a silver thread, and in the blink of an eye it was behind the dwarven child.

It's a thousand years of tending.

The long sword swept out, and there was no blood to look back.

The man jerked around and gripped the blade of his sword with both hands, the tip of which pierced an inch into his chest.

No further entry.
