Lucky escape met Qingzhao
The peak loop turns to another village
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Zheng Yidao didn't speak, and Lu Xinyao didn't speak, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, staring at each other and slowly approaching each other. As the distance narrowed, the murderous aura became heavier and heavier, Xiaohong's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she swore that if her sister had an accident, she would never live alone.
Zheng Yidao's eyes were originally small, but they narrowed into a slit at the moment, and the others looked more like he was about to fall asleep. On the other hand, Lu Xinyao's neckline was open, revealing a deep canyon under the snow-white, with a faint mocking smile on her face, this calmness from the heart made Zheng Yidao suddenly feel a little unconfident. With this knife, either she dies or I die.
The two stopped a foot away. Zheng Yidao suddenly nodded lightly and said, "You can hurt Ding Yin, it's really worth my shot." "To tell you the truth, he never praises people, and he never talks nonsense about killing, but I don't know why he said that today.
Lu Xinyao smiled indifferently and said, "I heard that the speed of the Leng Yue Sect Zheng is unmatched. ”
"Therefore you will surely die. ”
"Although Master Zheng is fast, he can't compare to thunder and lightning. ”
"Huh?" Zheng Yidao obviously didn't understand what she was trying to say.
"But the transience of man is faster than thunder and lightning. ”
"Hmph. ”
"And the ...... that is faster than the transient changes of people," she said this, and her tone paused and stopped suddenly.
Seeing that she suddenly fell silent, Zheng Yidao frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Go on." ”
Lu Xinyao smiled faintly and said, "Even if the slave family suddenly shut up, they could expect that the seniors would ask the slave family to go down." ”
"What a sharp-toothed widow!" Zheng Yidao suddenly stretched out his hand to her as he spoke.
"Little widow, since you are so diligent, do you know what I want to do at this moment?" Zheng Yidao suddenly smiled mysteriously. He slowly reached over, his movements sluggish like in slow motion in a movie.
"Whatever I say, you're going to deny it, so it's better not to speculate. ”
"Acquaintance!"
Zheng Yidao smiled slightly, his fingertips were no longer enough to reach her chest, as long as she reached a little further, she could touch the towering mountains and rivers.
However, he suddenly stopped moving.
The tip of the sword gently touched his crotch at some point, and if his hand went forward, he would certainly be able to touch it quickly, but he was afraid that he would be a eunuch from now on.
Zheng Yidao hit a haha, retracted his hand, and said, "Little widow, tomorrow in the ring, I hope the old man can see you." ”
"I'm not here for fame and fortune. ”
"Why did the little widow come?"
"Have you ever seen the king of He County?"
"I shouted a few widows, don't you know what the intention is? Haha, while you are still young and not old, find a man to give birth to some dolls, why do you want to lick blood and live on this river and lake?" Zheng Yidao laughed.
"The head of Zheng and Ding Yin seem to have suffered internal injuries in the battle, I hope that the head of the family will meditate, and it will not be too late to ask for the life of the slave family when the internal injuries have healed, why pretending to tease a widow at this time will inevitably make people laugh off their big teeth!"
Zheng Yidao was said in a word, his face was extremely ugly, although he tried his best to hide it, he didn't expect to be seen through by this little widow, it seems that he really underestimated her. If it is known by others, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not take advantage of the fire to rob, or it is better to go with thirty-six strategies, and it is important to save your life first. Thinking of this, he snorted, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until she completely disappeared from her sight that Lu Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the pillar, as if she had no strength, Xiaohong stepped forward and sat down, and found that her back was soaked in cold sweat.
"Sister, is Zheng Yidao really so powerful?"
"If it weren't for the internal injuries caused by the battle with Ding Yin, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hide tonight. This person is strong in martial arts, and I killed him to protect the Dharma, how can he spare my life?"
"Sister, then run away. Saying that, Xiaohong was going back to the house to clean up.
"I've come here to find a husband, how can I give up halfway?"
"But the world is big, how to find ......"
"The official likes to be lively, and if he is really alive, he will inevitably come to Xiangyang. ”
"What if you don't come?"
Lu Xinyao looked up at the sky. The weary moon had long since hid in the clouds to rest, and the dark and dreary night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. She sighed, "If you don't come, you're probably dead." ”
"Sister, it's me who is not good at ......" is really a pot that can't be opened, Xiaohong really wants to slap herself in the mouth.
She shook her head lightly and said, "I don't blame you, I just blame that annoying He Lai for taking away the seven souls and six spirits of the slave family." ”
"Sister, shall I go for a walk with you?" Xiaohong thought to herself, maybe going out for a walk at this time could eliminate the depression in her heart.
The street is like a calm river, winding in the dense shadows of the trees, only the leaves rustling in the wind and rain, as if recalling the bustle and busyness of the day.
Occasionally, a fish jumped and broke through the silence of the river, and soon fell into boundless silence again.
In the distance, there were a few barking dogs......
The boundless darkness shrouded her, staring into the distance, not seeing a trace of light, Sifu was so anxious that she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she couldn't speak:
"The dog barks in the deep alley, and the lonely shadow of the husband is long. The meaning of parting with you is still in the center of the dream. ”
Suddenly, a voice drifted into the eardrum with the cold wind: "Whoever sits alone with the bright window, I will have two shadows together." When the lamp is exhausted, the shadow also throws people away. Without that, without that, what a desolate me. ”
It was a middle-aged woman who spoke, leaning against the window, secretly wiping away tears, and her voice was miserable, like crying.
Hearing this woman's chanting, Lu Xinyao felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. Perhaps because of the sympathy for the same disease, she couldn't help but go over there: "Homesickness and sorrow, sorrow in my heart." Life has been sad since ancient times, but it is sad to sigh and sorrowful. ”
The woman looked up at her with a sad look on her face, and walked slowly. Lu Xinyao frowned and walked over here.
The woman made a blessing and said, "Li Qingzhao, a slave." ”
Lu Xinyao returned a thousand blessings and said, "The slave family...... Lu Xinyao. ”
"Where's your official?"
"In order to protect the emperor, the Jin army went south to resist the enemy, and it has been a year since he disappeared......"
Li Qingzhao sighed, and her cheeks were covered with sadness.
"Sister has something on her mind?"
"Zhao Mingcheng, the clumsy husband of the slave family, died of a serious illness in September of the third year of Jianyan......"
Li Qingzhao looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking of the love of the past, he couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two hard-working women sighed for a long time, Xu was sympathetic to each other, and the conversation was very strong, so they found an inn and ordered a few drinks and dishes to continue chatting, chanting poems against each other, and both sides were deeply attracted by each other's talents. This chat is an all-nighter.
That year, in February of the third year of Jianyan, the imperial ruler Wang Yi rebelled, and the matter was noticed by his subordinates and made a report, but Zhao Mingcheng did not seem to take it to heart and did not instruct countermeasures. So the subordinates set up their own formations in case of accidents.
That night, Wang Yi rebelled and was successfully defeated by his prepared subordinates. At dawn, his subordinates went to look for Zhao Mingcheng to report, but found that he had already escaped from the city wall with a rope.
After the rebellion was decided, Zhao Mingcheng was dismissed by the imperial court. Li Qingzhao was deeply ashamed of her husband's escape, although there was no quarrel, but the harmony of fish and water in the past was gone, and she was cold and alienated from Zhao Mingcheng from then on.
Soon, Zhao Mingcheng was ordered to go to Huzhou to take office. When Zhao and Li separated, the situation was even worse. Li Qingzhao also knows that if husband and wife are separated, they may encounter military disasters at any time. And her husband's cowardice in the mutiny also left a shadow in her heart, so she was even more worried that she could not protect so many objects, so she asked Zhao Mingcheng, if something really happened, what should it be? At that time, Zhao Mingcheng said that if there was an accident, first lose the baggage, then abandon the clothes, and then the books, scrolls and ancient artifacts, and the most precious "Zhao's Wonderful Post" collected by the couple could not be lost, if it was not absolutely necessary, they could only live and die with Li Qingzhao.
They fled in the direction of Jiangxi, and the two were relatively speechless along the way, and the atmosphere was awkward. Walking to Wujiang, standing in the place where Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was defeated and killed, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but think about it, and his heart was stirring. Facing the mighty river, he casually recited the "Summer Quatrain".
Zhao Mingcheng stood behind her, and after hearing this, he was ashamed and deeply blamed. Since then, he has been depressed and depressed, and soon died of a sudden illness......
Speaking of this, Li Qingzhao secretly burst into tears: "They all complain about the slave family, they all complain about the slave family......
"It's not my sister's fault, my sister doesn't blame herself. My sister at least knows whether her husband is alive or dead, and my sister's husband is alive or dead, stupid or stupid, but she doesn't know anything. Lu Xinyao frowned, and she was about to cry again.
Li Qingzhao asked, "Have you ever looked for it?"
"I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, but there is no news. Lu Xinyao couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly at the desk.
Li Qingzhao sighed and said, "Sister, don't worry, Jiren has his own nature." Let's ask my sister, what is the name of my husband's family?"
"Where did the clumsy man come from. ”
Li Qingzhao exclaimed: "But what is the king of the county?"
Lu Xinyao raised her teary-eyed face and said, "Exactly." Does my sister recognize my clumsy husband?"
"In the early years in the palace, I had a relationship with the king of the county......" At this point, he suddenly said "Huh", and said: "Earlier tonight, I originally wanted to cross the river to leave Xiangyang, but I saw someone quarreling with the boatman, but I didn't cross the boat because it was late. At this time, the appearance of the person who quarreled with the boatman was somewhat similar to that of the county king......"
"Really?" This was the first time in more than a year that she heard the news of her suspected husband, and Lu Xinyao was so surprised that she almost jumped up.
"Yes or no, my sister might as well go and ask for an understanding. ”
Lu Xinyao thanked her and hurried to the dock, at this time, the sky was about to dawn, and the fisherman was planning to go out fishing.
"Boatman...... Boatman ......"
The boat left the river bank slowly, and she was in a hurry, and she could not care about being reserved, and her toes touched the water, and the people had already risen into the air and landed on the deck of the ship. The boatman was startled, thinking that the gods had descended to earth, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. Lu Xinyao didn't talk nonsense, and asked where the person who quarreled with you is now. The boatman shook his head, indicating that he had no comment. She dropped ten taels of silver, and when she asked again, the boatman still shook his head. Lu Xinyao was anxious, drew his sword out of the sheath, put it on his neck, and shouted angrily: "I really don't know?" The boatman was so frightened that his face turned earthy, and he trembled and told her that the man had asked where the drunken villa was going before, and most of them had gone there.
Lu Xinyao rushed to the drunken villa in a hurry, but saw that there was already a fight on the technical school field, and two people were flying up and down and fighting together, and sometimes the sound of weapons colliding made a sound, and the battle was extremely stalemate.
A "martial arts alliance leader", but a false name, some people did not hesitate to make a big move, and even lost their lives. Lu Xinyao looked around, crowded, did not see her husband, and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a young girl in red smile and said, "I'll play a song for everyone to help Yaxing." ”
The owner of the Drunken Sleeping Mountain Villa stroked his palms and laughed: "This is very good!"
I saw the girl in red slowly paddling the thin strings, and the beautiful notes jumped out briskly one by one. Bow your head and sing, and the words that pop out of your mouth become smooth, like a flowing stream, bringing people into a beautiful state of mind.
All of a sudden, there was silence inside and off the field.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "It's very ugly! It's better to have a fight!"
"If you want to die, report your name!" Dongfang Jian, the senior brother of the Huashan faction, jumped out of the crowd.
"Good is good, bad is bad. I won't say bad if it's good, and I won't say good if it's bad. Whether it is good or bad lies in people's hearts. I don't want to fight you, okay? If you really want to fight, let me beat you to death, okay?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Lu Xinyao couldn't help but wonder, this person spoke upside down and spoke without concealment, but he was somewhat similar to her husband.
Dongfang Jian was furious, drew his sword out of its sheath, and jumped into the air with a move of Dapeng spreading its wings, and then swooped down and pounced on the person who spoke.
The man shouted and screamed, and he was hiding in the middle of the field, and Dongfang Jian was quite surprised when he made a move into the air, and at this time, there was a burst of laughter from the field, as if laughing at his incompetence. Dongfang Jian was annoyed and ashamed, and he had a killing machine, and used the Huashan Sect's peerless "Optimus Pillar", and a sword light soared into the sky and swooped down, wanting to split the person in half.
Suddenly, Xiaohong exclaimed: "Sister, isn't he an official?"
Before the words fell, I saw a red light flying out of the scabbard, only to hear the sound of "ding" a weapon collision, the sword in Dongfang Jian's hand had been opened, and then, with a "bang", his chest was hit hard. Dongfang Jian suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"Who are you, do you understand the rules on the martial arts field?" the head of the Huashan faction was furious.
Lu Xinyao didn't say anything, turned around and shouted: "Official!"
Suddenly, a woman behind him called softly, and the man was stunned for a moment, and then turned back in shock.
At this moment, tears flowed silently from Lu Xinyao's eyes.
"Why are you so familiar? Are you my lady?" He Lai frowned and shouted.
"The slave family is easy to find, and he almost wants to break his soul. ”
She said very lightly, just eight words, and the words pierced He Yuan's heart like a steel needle, making his heart twitch and ache instantly.
With a "wow", he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body staggered.
