Chapter 20: Farewell to the Walkout
"Xunyi, I know that there are some things that you won't tell me no matter how much I ask. Then I won't ask you what you're going to do, only when you'll be back?"
In the back garden of King Rong's mansion, Liu Xunyi stood quietly in front of Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin, who was sitting on the stone bench, gently leaned on his soft and boneless delicate body, although Liu Xunyi did not explain too much, but Zhao Xin knew that he was going to be ordered to leave again.
Because every time Liu Xunyi suddenly came to Rongwang's Mansion to look for her, the purpose was to resign.
"Perhaps...... This trip is a little longer than before...... "Liu Xunyi didn't want to deceive Zhao Xin, he knew that sneaking into the Xianwang Mansion to gain Luo Tianjin's trust was definitely not something that could be achieved overnight, so he naturally didn't dare to say that the return date was too close. Because once he sets a return date and fails to return on time, Zhao Xin, who has always been sentimental, is bound to be cranky, and Liu Xunyi doesn't want Zhao Xin to worry about himself.
Zhao Xin's jade arm gently wrapped around Liu Xunyi's waist, and asked softly, "Is it dangerous?"
"Not dangerous. Liu Xunyi replied with a smile, these three words are what he will say to Zhao Xin every time he resigns, but the fact is that every time he goes out on an errand, he will go through swords and swords, and he will die for life.
"Is it longer than a month, two months?" Zhao Xin guessed, but she didn't hear Liu Xunyi's answer for a long time, so she thought in her heart and read again, "Is it three months, four months, half a year, or ......a year?"
Without waiting for Zhao Xin to finish speaking, Liu Xunyi's fingers were already lightly pressed on her lips, and she looked at Zhao Xin reluctantly, and said, "Xin'er, I will do my best to return as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Xin Bingxue was smart, and when she heard this, her heart was already half cold, and a pair of jade hands attached to Liu Xunyi's back couldn't help but clench tighter, and said, "No matter how long you leave this trip, I just want you to come back unharmed." ”
Zhao Xin's eyes closed slightly, and half of her cheek was tightly pressed into Liu Xunyi's arms, as if she was trying to record the warmth of this moment. Looking at Zhao Xin's reluctance, Liu Xunyi's eyes couldn't help but flush with a touch of ruddy, he reached out and stroked Zhao Xin's green silk, and said with a smile: "Xin'er, when I come back this time, we can be together forever." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned, raised her eyes to look at Liu Xunyi, who was full of confidence, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be ...... You've already decided to take me away?"
Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "Of course not, you are the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, if I take you away without permission, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the emperor will send someone to arrest us back." What's more, if we run away, too many innocent people will be implicated. What I mean by being together forever is to marry you openly and justifiably. ”
Zhao Xindai's eyebrows frowned slightly, with a puzzled look, and I felt sorry for it.
"Although I can't tell you much now, you must believe me, after I come back this time, I will be qualified to go to the emperor to marry me, and ask the emperor to marry me the lord of Xinde. When Liu Xunyi said this, he couldn't help but recall the scene in his dream, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"Really?" Zhao Xin was overjoyed, but without waiting for Liu Xunyi to answer, she had already thrown her body deeply into Liu Xunyi's arms, and said softly, "I believe everything you say, if you say yes, it must be, Xunyi, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
With such a beautiful woman entrusting herself, what more can her husband ask for? Liu Xunyi hugged Zhao Xin tightly with his arms, thinking about the beautiful things of living with Zhao Xin after he came back.
"Looking for clothes, I don't know why?" Zhao Xin's voice in the hug was almost inaudible, "I always have a feeling that we will be separated for a long time this time...... For a long time...... It's longer than the last time our affairs were discovered by Prince Rong and the Marquis of Tianji, and you were locked up and you couldn't see me for a year......"
"Xin'er, you just have to remember that no matter how long we are apart, I, Liu Xunyi, will definitely come back to you. Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin seemed to have a heart, and when Zhao Xin said that he was worried, Liu Xunyi's heart also sank, but he quickly regained his self-confidence, and chuckled, "As long as you are willing to wait for me." ”
"I'll wait for you!" Zhao Xin nodded heavily and agreed, "No matter how long it takes, I will definitely wait for you!"
After that, Zhao Xin took out a handkerchief from her arms and gently put it into Liu Xunyi's hand, the fragrant handkerchief still had a trace of Zhao Xin's body residual warmth, which made Liu Xunyi's heart tremble, Zhao Xin said softly: "This is my mother's hand-to-hand show to me, today you accept this handkerchief, I Zhao Xin will only recognize you in this life." ”
......
Although I am reluctant to give up, there will be a parting. After resigning from Zhao Xin, Liu Xunyi devoted himself to the Tianji Pavilion Library and retreated for a whole month, the purpose of which was to carefully study his own martial arts and the paths of each sect, and strive to integrate the characteristics of each faction's moves to form a set of his own unique playing style.
Tianji Pavilion used the power of the imperial court to collect martial arts classics of many sects for decades, so the martial arts practiced by Liu Xunyi, who grew up in Tianji Pavilion since childhood, were also extremely mixed. Among them, the southern fist and the northern leg, the sword, the gun, the sword and the halberd are all involved, and the skills practiced only seek to be strong and defeat the enemy, regardless of the school, so Liu Xunyi's kung fu is naturally from different sects.
Because Liu Xunyi had been repeatedly recognized as martial arts when he was fighting with people before, he had to work harder. Walking in the rivers and lakes, it is taboo to learn the martial arts of other sects, if you are found out, you will be spurned by decent people, and even more will be killed. Liu Xunyi's approaching Luo Tianjin is known as the King of Beixian, so this person will definitely not be in the company of the "thief" who steals the martial arts of his school.
Therefore, if Liu Xunyi wants to avoid extraneous branches in the rivers and lakes, then he must not let people see that his martial arts come from different sects.
After January, it is late summer and early autumn, and even in the evening, the weather is still hot and irritating.
Under the setting sun, Liu Xunyi, who was ready to go, finally stepped out of the library building and bid farewell to Zhao Yuan.
In the study, Zhao Yuan looked at Liu Xunyi, who had lost a lot of weight, with a smile, and nodded: "Xunyi, I didn't expect that a month would make you change so much." ”
At this moment, Liu Xunyi was a little more cold than his previous appearance, his previous smile was retracted, his lips pursed slightly seriously, and there was less of a trace of indisputable harmony in his eyes, and a touch of depth hidden in his eyes. The edge seems to be unacceptable, and the surface is humble but it is difficult to hide the arrogance in the bones, which is exactly the sharpness that a young descendant who has broken through the rivers and lakes should have.
Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said: "If even the Hou Ye said so, then my careful redressing this month is not in vain." When Liu Xunyi said this, he could vaguely see some shadows of the past. After saying that, his expression suddenly straightened, and he clasped his fist at Zhao Yuan and said, "Master Hou, I am here to bid you farewell tonight." ”
Zhao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xun Yi, Ben Hou has already said that in the entire Tianji Pavilion, only you are the most suitable person to do this errand." I thought it would take you at least three or five months to prepare, but I didn't expect you to be ready in just one month. ”
"Go early and come back early. Liu Xunyi replied, Zhao Xin's image appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't help laughing, "I don't want the county lord to wait too long." ”
Zhao Yuan smiled lightly and said undeniably, "It's best not to let Ben Hou wait too long. Saying that, Zhao Yuan also stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Xunyi heavily, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Tianji Pavilion can't do without you, the young guard, and Benhou can't do without you, the righteous son!"
"Yes. Liu Xunyi was moved in his heart, and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to do this errand, not only for my marriage with the county lord, but also to repay the grace of the Hou Ye." ”
"I wouldn't be wrong. Zhao Yuan changed his words and asked with a smile, "God knows that you know and I know this matter, but in addition, only the Prime Minister knows, not even the emperor." As for the rest of the Tianji Pavilion, I only told them that you went on an errand, and I believe that no one will ask more. The deeper I hide this, the safer you will be. ”
"Master Xie!" Liu Xunyi didn't understand this truth? If everyone in the world knew that he was a spy of the imperial court, then Luo Tianjin would probably not look at him squarely.
"What are your plans?" Zhao Yuan asked after returning to business, "After this farewell, there will be as few correspondence between you and me as possible, so as not to make mistakes." In the future, you and I will not only be separated from each other, but also different from each other. So I want to hear your plan first, so that I can return to the prime minister in case of emergency. ”
Liu Xunyi thought for a moment when he heard this, and said: "I will leave for Luoyang City tonight, and after arriving in Luoyang, I will try to find Lin Fangda, and then ask him to introduce me to the Xianwang Mansion to meet the Northern Xian King......
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to finish speaking, Zhao Yuan slowly shook his head. Liu Xunyi wanted to speak and stopped, with a puzzled look, Zhao Yuanzheng said: "King Beixian is not in vain, and his Xianwang Mansion is full of guests who come to visit every day, all of these people want to do their best to appease Luo Tianjin, and all of them are introduced into King Xian's Mansion by acquaintances. So for Luo Tianjin, it is natural to see too many people. Even if Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda introduce you, I am afraid that Luo Tianjin will only arrange you in a corner of the mansion and will not face you squarely. Therefore, if you want to get close to him and gain his trust, unless there is a great opportunity, I am afraid that it will take many years. ”
"This ......" was woken up by Zhao Yuan's words, Liu Xunyi smiled dumbly, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, in fact, you just need to meet Luo Tianjin in an unusual way, so that he is most likely to be impressed by you." ”
"Please also make it clear. Liu Xunyi saw Zhao Yuan's confident appearance, and thought that Zhao Yuan must have a plan, so he opened his mouth to ask for advice, "I don't know what kind of 'unusual' way I should use to meet Luo Tianjin?"
"Looking for clothes, it seems that God also wants to fulfill you and Lord Xinde, because the great opportunity is now in front of you. Zhao Yuan smiled, "You can leave tonight, but you don't have to rush to Luoyang City......
Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"Because Luo Tianjin is not in Luoyang City at all now. Zhao Yuan smiled meaningfully, "Although I don't know where he is now, I know where he will be in seven days?"
"Where?"
"Quanzhou!"
