Chapter 035 of "Painting the Wife".

On the top of the city tower, I hope that my husband will return

The sinister villain snatches his wife

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

The scorching sun is like fire, and there are crowds of people in front of several major grain stores in Lin'an City, and in the outskirts, the traders and people who rushed to hear the news are also endless. As soon as the news of the drop in grain prices came out, Lin'an, which had been depressed for a long time, became lively, and there were constant quarrels everywhere, just to earn an extra mouthful of rice grain, mixed with the neighing of donkeys and horses, and for a while it seemed to be far away from the war and returned to the prosperous years.

Lu Xinyao took her uncle and grandmother to move into the palace with the emperor, although she was still well-dressed and fed, her face was full of sadness all day long. Since I parted with my husband for more than three months, there has been no news, and I asked people to inquire in many ways, only to know that the Jin soldiers annihilated all the Song soldiers at dawn on the sixth day. In other words, He Lai led the shrimp soldiers and crabs to carry it for five days and five nights, buying time for the emperor to flee south.

On the surface, it is unclear why life and death come from, but in fact, the ministers know in their hearts that most of the ministers have sacrificed their lives for the country. In recognition of his merits, He Lai was named the king of the county, and on the second day, he was awarded the title of Mrs. Lu Xinyao, who was really unprecedented.

But Lu Xinyao was still not happy. said that we would live and die together, but I watched you enter the tiger's den in Longtan alone. She didn't believe that her husband was separated from her, no matter the wind or rain or the sun was shining, she always held an umbrella and stood on the tower of the city to wait, looking forward to her husband's return.

On this day, it was getting late, the torrential rain was still falling wildly, and the lightning shuttled through the air like a silver snake, illuminating the castle tower again and again. The electric sound roared, the heavy rain poured down, hitting the tile back and eaves of the house, and the "canopy" sounded.

On the top of the city tower, Lu Xinyao stood quietly with an umbrella, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her beautiful eyes stared into the distance, like a statue, motionless, letting the wind and rain blow, soaking through her clothes.

She was wearing a pale cyan silk placket skirt, which was as thin as a gauze, and was wet by the rain at the moment, which made her even more charming.

Passers-by passed by, curious, all looked back and peeked, whose lady is this? Face, figure, eyebrows, skin, are so beautiful that people are excited, although the expression is gloomy, but it is more charming, and everyone in the nearby restaurant is sighing.

The rain poured down on her face like a flood that had burst the embankment, and Lu Xinyao put her fingers together between her eyebrows, her eyebrows furrowed but her eyes were resolute. She didn't believe that her husband was dead, and if he was, why couldn't she find the body? She tightened her clothes, but she didn't move half a step, still standing in the heavy rain, looking into the distance, there was nothing more important at the moment than waiting for her beloved to return.

"Is the beauty waiting for me?"

At this time, a fat man appeared downstairs, with a big belly, grinning at the beauty on the city tower, followed by dozens of followers. The master laughed, and so did his attendants.

"Hugh be presumptuous!"

The person who spoke had a delicate face, dressed as a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a jade flute at his waist, holding a cyan long sword, and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

The fat man was willing to lose his prestige in front of the beauty, waved his hand, and swarmed his followers, and there was a great tendency that he would not give up until he killed or maimed the young man. How do you know that the young man is not a vegetarian, and he has not seen how to show his strength, but when the fan is waved, two or three people fall down, and the rest of the people are terrified, and they retreat again and again, not daring to take another step.

"Thank you heroes for breaking the siege. ”

"It's just a trivial matter, why bother?"

Lu Xinyao was suddenly stunned, the young man in front of him was chic and handsome, with a graceful demeanor, no weakness, straight spine and shoulders, although he was dressed as a literati, he had a heroic bun full of manliness on his head, and he had the demeanor of a hero.

The young man stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Next Sunday, dare to ask the lady's name?"

Lu Xinyao looked at the young man in front of her lightly, and finally her eyes fell on the young man's face, showing a hint of a smile, her hands crossed on her waist, her body leaned forward slightly, her legs were slightly bent, and she made a thousand blessings, and said softly: "Wanfu, Zhou Shaoxia, thank you for your help." The king of the husband's family. ”

Zhou Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, sighed, and said: "It's raining heavily, how can the lady be alone? Seeing that the lady's body is thin, don't catch a cold and suffer from the cold, if you don't mind, you can send the lady home, I don't know what the lady wants?"

"It doesn't matter. Lu Xinyao replied absentmindedly, but her eyes were always staring into the distance.

"Lady, let's go back quickly, if those thieves come to bother again, it will be a big deal. ”

"Good intentions. Lu Xinyao was indifferent, although her legs and feet were sore, she still stood still, waiting in the rain. It would be fine if Zhou Tian didn't know that he was the wife of King He Jun and called him "Niangzi" before, but at this time he showed his identity, he was still called a "Lady", she only thought that Zhou Tian was young and ignorant, and she didn't think about the reason in detail.

"Who is the lady who is so infatuated?" the passerby sighed while admiring.

"You don't even know this, she's the wife of King Hejun. ”

"I've been watching here for three months, why hasn't the county king returned?"

"I all know that the king of the county died in battle, but Mrs. He can't accept it. Alas, such a beautiful woman, who got married on the seventh day of July last year, became a widow in just one year, and it is sad and lamentable, and it is sad and sad ......."

"There is such a beautiful widow, who picked it up and didn't take advantage of it?"

"What's the use of beauty? Look at her, she has a face, whoever marries someone is unlucky......"

Two passers-by chatted as they braved the rain and scurried along the corner. Zhou Tian was furious, blocked the way, beat the two of them hard, and finally dragged them to Lu Xinyao to ask his family to apologize.

Lu Xinyao shook her head slightly, and said, "It's hard to block Youyou's mouth with your fists, why bother? ”

Passers-by kowtowed and thanked each other and fled in a hurry. Zhou Tian was about to speak, but the road was slippery on a rainy day, and he fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay......" Zhou Tian lay on the ground and looked up, only to see a pair of semi-circular things blocking his vision, rubbing his eyes and then looking at the two peaks that turned out to be the beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Xinyao also realized that he was looking at himself at this time, and couldn't help blushing, so she hurriedly took a step back and squatted down, covering her chest with one hand and helping Zhou Tian with the other.

Zhou Tian held her arm up and slowly got up, and at this moment, he saw Lu Xinyao's bent down and exposed breasts, although most of them were covered, but the deep mountains and valleys were faintly visible, and he couldn't help but tremble and slip to the ground again.

Lu Xinyao was shocked, and hurriedly bent down to support his arms with both hands, but once again exposed the scenery on his chest unintentionally.

"Why are you so careless?" When she looked down and thought about it, her slightly hanging head casually raised her eyes and glanced at her, and it happened that Zhou Tian was also peeking at her.

At this time, the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, Zhou Tian was like being struck by lightning, Lu Xinyao's dark eyes full of tenderness, like a pool of blue and deep blue waves, made people feel that the beauty was unfathomable, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard, and suddenly there was a strange feeling.

Seeing him staring at him blankly, Lu Xinyao suddenly thought that her clothes were wet at this time, and the jade body under the tulle was exquisite, and she couldn't help but be ashamed, and hurriedly said, "Since it's okay, the slave family has left" and left as if she was covering up and running away.

At sunset the next evening, in the wing room, Lu Xinyao was bathing, thinking of the love between her husband and her husband, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. But now the yin and yang are separated, and two lines of coldness quietly slipped from the eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xiaohong said: "Madam, there is a young man who asks to see you. ”

"If you don't see the living, just send them away. ”

"Back to Mrs., he said that his name was Zhou Tian, and he and Mrs. were old acquaintances. ”

Is this really unreasonable, just one side is an old acquaintance? Lu Xinyao said in her heart, no matter what Zhou Tian's intentions are, she must always ask clearly. So he said: "Let him be in the side hall for a while, I have something to ask him, Xiaohong, you go and prepare some silver taels for him." ”

With that, he left the tub and wiped his body while thinking about his next step.

On the side of the courtyard, I saw a young man standing in Xuanwu, with a mighty appearance, eyes like paint, Yiyi and spirit, proud and outstanding at the moment, with a calm attitude, a faction of the bearing of Yuan Yue Zhi, teaching people's hearts.

At this time, Xiaohong walked over, saw Zhou Tian with such a figure and bearing, was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the son is a talent, which is really disrespectful." ”

After that, he looked at the young man a few more times, and said softly: "Childe, Madame is invited." ”

"I also asked my sister to lead the way, and I was about to thank my wife for saving me, and I asked my sister to lead the way. Zhou Tian was also slightly taken aback, he never thought that Lu Xinyao's maid was actually so beautiful.

Lu Xinyao had just finished bathing at the moment, her skin was white and red, her jade body was fragrant, and she exuded a charming and charming style and noble temperament. Zhou Tian looked at it secretly, his eyes couldn't help but fall on her crisp breasts, and he swallowed his saliva greedily, although he still had a chic and calm look on the surface, his heart was already churning.

"Thank you Mrs. He for your kindness, thank you here. Zhou Tianzuo replied respectfully.

Lu Xinyao scoffed, didn't she just fall down and help her, as for being so grand? Most of the time it was the drunkard's intention not to drink, either for money or beauty. She sat up for a long time, swept Zhou Tian with beautiful eyes that hooked her soul, and said: "How dare you take the word thank you, you are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you should support each other." ”

Lu Xinyao was suspicious, and finally couldn't help asking, but she thought about it secretly, and when she asked so suddenly, Zhou Tian couldn't help it, so she added: "If Zhou Gongzi has any difficulties, you might as well say it, I can help you so much, don't be polite to me." ”

Zhou Tian's eyes shot a gloomy look, and sighed: "Thanks to Mrs. He's care, the villain is grateful, don't hide it from Mrs. He, the villain lives in Hexi, a few days ago a fire burned down the entire family village, alas, hateful people robbers!"

"Do you know which robber did it?" Lu Xinyao trembled in her heart and hurriedly asked.

"Back to Mrs. Ho, when I was out on errands, when I returned to the manor in the evening, all the houses were burned to the top, and the manor was covered with human and animal carcasses, some of which were only recognizable coke. Smoke was rising from some of the houses, and the scene was simply miserable. If it was an ordinary fire, it would be impossible for no one to put out the fire in the manor, even if the fire was too big, someone would escape, but that night the bodies of all the people in the manor were found by us, including the relatives of those people, alas, some of the corpses were still freshly dried with blood, and those robbers were cruelly disposed of regardless of men, women, old and children. ”

Zhou Tian said with tears in his eyes, although Lu Xinyao's face was cold, she was also dripping blood in her heart, and she was just controlling her emotions.

Lu Xinyao sighed and said softly: "Zhou Gongzi, don't be sad, it's me who is not good, and I shouldn't mention this matter." ”

"Later, I inquired in many ways, and learned that all this was done by Damurhan, I wanted to find him to take revenge, but when I visited the camp late at night, I accidentally learned that He Junwang was imprisoned by him, and only complained that I was not as good as others, which caused He Junwang to be seriously injured, and now he is recuperating in a villager's house, so his wife is worried, and he is specially ordered to come down to inform him, in addition, He Junwang handed over to the next thing, and the county king said, let me transfer it to Madame, and Madame will believe it. ”

"But really?" Seeing this jade pendant, Lu Xinyao was filled with joy and sorrow, and burst into tears for a moment.

That's right, this jade pendant was originally owned by Lu Xinyao, and it was a token exchanged with her husband on the wedding night. Hearing that her husband was still in the world, she was surprised and confused, grabbed Zhou Tian's arm, and begged him to take her forward.

Zhou Tian hesitated: "I am afraid that there are golden soldiers ambushing around the village, if you go alone, I am afraid that there will be more luck and less ......."

"Then I'll take the soldiers and horses with you!" Xiaohong couldn't help but interject.

Zhou Tian hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be! Beware of the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry!"

Lu Xinyao gritted her teeth and said: "Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, you have to break into him!"

"Mrs. He, we might as well discuss the plan carefully......

"Wouldn't it be nice to talk while walking?" Lu Xinyao couldn't delay for a moment, she really wanted to rescue her husband immediately.

Zhou Tian saw that it was almost grinding, pretending to be helpless, and nodded in agreement. Sure enough, Lu Xinyao simply explained to Xiaohong a few words and hurriedly went out, thinking about the plan of action while following Zhou Tian. Seeing her following closely behind, Zhou Tian suddenly showed a peculiar smile.

Lu Xinyao didn't know that what Zhou Tian said just now was just nonsense. It turned out that that night, He Lai led the Song soldiers to fight with the Jin soldiers, He Lai fought and retreated, and led the Jin soldiers into a trap and suffered countless casualties. Damurhan was furious and turned around to chase and intercept Helai. But how can it be as smooth as a loach, not only is it difficult to catch, but several sneak attacks have caused many casualties among the golden soldiers. When he was helpless, Zhou Tian offered a plan to Damurhan, first to surround it, and then to burn down the hiding place where He Lai. He Lai had nowhere to hide, so he had to fight to the death, and he was inseparable from the intractable killing of Damurhan, Zhou Tian suddenly used a cold arrow, and He Lai was caught off guard by the arrow and fell off the cliff, but left this jade pendant on the edge of the cliff. Thinking of Mrs. He's national beauty and fragrance, Zhou Tian's heart was itching, so he took the jade pendant and took Lu Xinyao out of the mansion, the purpose was to design and stun her on the way and get her chastity. He even thought about it, after fainting, first abolished her martial arts, and then occupied her body, if he didn't obey, he would sell it into Chunxianglou for tens of millions of people to ride, if he was obedient and obedient, let her be Mrs. Zhou, and let her have children for herself.

After walking for a long time, entering the mountains and forests, the front was full of thorns, and it became more and more difficult to walk, Lu Xinyao reached out and pulled out the hair in front of her forehead, frowned slightly, and said, "How long will it ......take?"

"Climb over this mountain and you'll be there. ”

Xu was distracted by speaking, Zhou Tian stumbled under his feet, tripped over the vines, followed by a foot in the air, and fell backwards, followed by Lu Xinyao, who was caught off guard, "oops" was knocked into his arms, his feet twisted, and he fell to the ground.
