Chapter 252: An Unjust Fate (I)

Miao Hai is back, coming back with his most magnificent posture, the more glamorous he becomes, the more bleak and inconspicuous Qiao Geng becomes.

The villagers of Wugu Village congratulated Miao Hai, the champion master, and flattered him......

The sound of joy literally covered this mountain village. But joy is the joy of a group of people, and loneliness is the loneliness of a person. What was left for Qiao Geng was not only loneliness, but also the contempt of the village names for him for "selling his sister for money".

He didn't care about these at all, he just cowered in the distant field and was in a daze with white clouds, and when he was bored, he looked at the light of Miao Hai and his party......

It's only been eight years, and he and Miao Hai are both people from the same Wugu Village, but the difference is very different, he doesn't work hard less than Miao Hai, and even more than him, but maybe? It's really his stupid head.

He looked at the other field, only knowing the ploughing ox who was working hard, and he felt that he should be like this ploughing ox in his life, working in the field all his life, and then one day he would fall down and bury himself in a place a few feet larger.

There's nothing wrong with being ordinary...... Anyway, most of the young people in Wugu Village have been like this all their lives, living from labor, dying from labor, and finally buried in the heavens and earth.

Qiao Geng felt that it was a sense of powerlessness that fate played tricks on him, and he seemed to want to compromise a little, but he thought that he had been studying for more than ten years, and he could vaguely see some of the young man's stubbornness.

After thinking about it for a while, he returned home and took out more than ten taels of silver that he had saved in the past few years, carried a box of books of his own, and walked out of Wugu Village without the slightest dust in the laughter of everyone pushing cups and changing lamps, and even Xiao Sanzhu and the others did not notice him.

Or maybe they had already determined that he was not the reincarnation of Mo Wunian, so they wouldn't spend their extra energy on Qiao Geng.

After leaving Wugu Village, Qiao Geng thought that since the world was big, Miao Hai could be a champion in high school, so he thought about trying it too...... He wanted to try the imperial examination as well.

It's just that this time the journey is not as good as going to the Three Tribulations, but to the capital thousands of miles away, and he only needs to walk with his feet, and he is afraid that it will take him three or five years.

And he also ignored one thing, last time he took his sister to go, no matter how he said he was a living person, his burden was smaller, this time he brought a book, but for no reason to add more complexity to himself.

After walking for more than ten miles, the sky is not beautiful, and the rain will come when it comes, crackling and smashing on his head, there is a faint pain, and he has no choice but to hide in a broken temple. It's just that he is not the only one in the palm-sized broken temple, there are also two dancing girls.

Among them, the one who wears a purple gorgeous Luo skirt and looks beautiful and elegant is a young lady, and the one who wears an ordinary green jacket is a maid.

Seeing that a stranger came in, the two women were slightly nervous, and seeing that Qiao Geng's appearance was really not good-looking, the two thought that he was some kind of wrongdoer, and their expressions were a little flustered.

Sensing the meaning of their expressions, Qiao Geng knew that he should have been misunderstood, and after saying sorry for the disturbance, he brushed his somewhat damp hair, took out a book and read it.

The two women softened a little, and hoped that the rain would soon stop, and that they would get up and leave.

But Tiangong just didn't follow people's wishes, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, until it was dark and he didn't listen, Qiao Geng found an oil lamp he carried with him, lit it with a fire fold, and looked out by the light, the road had become muddy, and I believe that even the best horses who can run will be trapped in this mud.

Qiao Geng didn't care, but he still read with relish, but the night was getting deeper, and the wind was rushing in the evening, and when the wind passed through the tiles on the roof of the broken temple, he would always know that Suo Suo revealed some strange sounds, which made the two women a little scared.

I couldn't help but talk to Qiao Geng, and she said, "Where is Childe from? What are you going to do?"

Her voice was mellow and smooth, listening to it tactfully and melodiously, but it might have been talking to a living person, and her voice was faintly timid, or maybe the movement around her scared her.

Qiao Geng politely said to her, only saying that people from nearby villages were going to the capital to do something.

As a result, the two of them also opened up the conversation box, and from time to time the little maid beside her interjected a sentence or two.

After some conversation, Qiao Geng also knew that the beautiful woman in front of him was Li Wanwan, the daughter of the county magistrate Li's family in the nearby county, and today she took her little maid green pothos to play without telling her family, but she didn't want to catch up with the rain if she was too greedy.

It was raining outside, and the cold air had penetrated into the broken temple somewhat, but between the swaying of a broken candle, the three of them, no matter who they were, didn't feel the chill.

On the contrary, Qiao Geng and Li Wanwan chatted very closely, whether it was talking about some academic things, or finding out some other things to come from, the two of them talked with relish.

After a short while, another young man who was dressed in a book and seemed to be a scholar walked in, and his appearance was much more white and handsome than Qiao Geng. Seeing that Qiao Geng, a carbon, could talk energetically with two beautiful women, he became jealous.

He first introduced himself, and then pretended to be gentle and elegant, and had to come up with some sour poems to talk to Li Wanwan and the others, but the two girls saw his falsehood at a glance, and after chatting with him a little, they chatted with Qiao Geng again.

Scholars say Portugal if they can't eat grapes

He looked at the rain scene outside the broken temple and sighed: "This situation is this scene...... It's insulting!".

sighed three times in a row, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai and knew that he was talking about Qiao Geng, but Qiao Geng or Li Wanwan ignored him.

In this way, in the middle of the night, with a "crunch", five or six tall men walked in, carrying waist knives, although it was raining very heavily outside, it could be vaguely seen that there were some blood stains on their knives, and there were also some bloody smells in the air that randomly diffused, as if they had just killed someone.

Seeing the four people in the temple, he naturally ignored Qiao Geng first, and then stared at Li Wanwan and Lu Luodao: "I was unlucky today, but I also came to run a handful from time to time......!" Look at what this is!".

He laughed, brandished the knife in his hand and pointed at Li Wanwan and Luluo, and the two of them were stared at by his encroaching gaze, and they were immediately frightened.

They were bandits from the nearby mountains, surrounded and strangled by officers and soldiers, only a few of them survived, running all the way in the rain, and when they saw the candles shining here, they ran here.

When the scholar saw that this group of people were robbers, his face turned pale with fright, and his expression was even more exaggerated than that of Li Wanwan and the two women, but after seeing them again, she slightly raised a little courage, and dared to say to a few bandits: "Zi said ......."

"Don't fucking tell Lao Tzu any birdman truth, Lao Tzu doesn't understand! I only know, if you don't have a beautiful girl's skin, you have a problem with your head! Hahahaha......" As soon as the bandit leader heard that he was going to reason sourly, the knife smashed on the ground, cutting a deep groove in the ground.

When the scholar saw this posture, his legs weakened, and his legs were wet with a piece of wet clothes, and he knelt on the ground in fright, begging a group of people to leave him a way to live, and even used the reason that "there is an eighty-year-old mother and a seven-year-old child below" to tell the reason for the rotten street.

This scene saw in the eyes of Li Wanwan and Luluo, and they were a little more disgusted with him.

"What are you trying to do?" On the contrary, it was not inconspicuous at all, and Qiao Geng, who had a dark complexion, stood up. Compared with a few bandits, his thin figure is really weak.

"You're here to reason with me again? It's really useless to be a scholar! I know the words of your literati!" When the bandit leader saw Qiao Geng's head, he thought that he was also going to talk about some big truth like a scholar.

But compared to these, he prefers to watch these high-sounding scholars on weekdays, and he is so scared that he pees his pants......

But Qiao Geng was not afraid of him at all, although the other party was more powerful, but he also remembered that when he took his sister Qiao Jing'er to the Three Tribulations Sect before, he was beaten by many people, thinking that the big deal in front of him was a beating.

This made Li Wanwan, the eldest lady, look up at him a few times.

It's just that Qiao Geng's backbone is expressed, but to put it bluntly, he is also a farmer who has more strength than a scholar and has planted land for several years!

Naturally, they can't compete with these bandits.

So with just one punch, he was knocked to the ground by the bandit leader, his head buzzed, and he briefly lost consciousness......

Seeing that Li Wanwan and the others were about to be blackened by these bandits, but fortunately, things still took a turn for the better, and the door of the broken temple made another "creaking" sound, and a sword-eyed and scruffy man walked in, picked up a few white lights, and sent these bandits back to the west.

Qiao Geng and Li Wanwan hurriedly got up and thanked him, but the scholar was so ashamed that he was ashamed, regardless of how heavy the rain was outside...... Stepping on a pair of thin cloth shoes, the figure disappeared into the rain line.

After chatting with this swordsman for a few more words, I learned that his surname was Yan.

In the second half of the night, there was nothing to do, and several people each rolled up a straw mat and slept together.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Li Wanwan and the others said goodbye to Qiao Geng and Yan Swordsman.

It's just that she was leaving, and remembered the scene last night, her face flushed and opened the pothos beside her, and whispered to Qiao Geng: "Three days later, my father asked me to throw hydrangeas in the attic of my home to welcome my relatives, and I will add whoever I throw, do you remember...... Remember to come......".

She has not been in pain for a few days, and it is because of this that she sneaked out.

With that, she pulled her face and hurried away, but she still didn't say a word to him, that is, she would deliberately throw herself on his body when the time came...... Anyway, if you want to marry someone casually, it is better to marry someone who has only known each other once, but she has the courage to stand up and have courage.

Qiao Geng was a little surprised, and didn't agree in front of her, just stood in place stunned, and only after seeing her go away, did he come back to his senses, and smiled stupidly, I don't know what it means.

Yan Jianke is a person who practices martial arts, and his ears are a little longer and he sings a little longer, and the conversation between them is a little quieter, and he laughs at Qiao Geng and says, "Congratulations, little brother!

What did he mean by this, it was clear at a glance, Qiao Geng was a little surprised how he could listen to what Li Wanwan said, but he didn't ask in detail, just sighed helplessly.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman......

He doesn't like it to be fake, but he has a feeling that he will definitely be able to get the hydrangea thrown by Li Wanwan in three days, and then stay with such a pretty woman for a lifetime.

There is nothing wrong with this, almost everyone yearns for it, but he has a feeling of being trapped, and this trap is also a kind of fate, a most tender fate, but it makes him more uncomfortable than death.

He just wanted to see the outside world, break free from his fate, and fight

A free ......

He hesitated, and stayed in the broken temple for a long time before saying to Yan Swordsman: "Don't go." ”。

Yan Swordsman was naturally surprised, and scolded him: "You kid just don't know the high generation because you don't know the high generation, if you feel that your identity is not worthy of others now, you can marry someone else's girl and work hard in the future, what's the point of sighing here?"

It's a pity that Qiao Geng decided that after the matter, he didn't go in, seeing that he was so stubborn, Yan Swordsman decided not to care about his business anymore, he can be chivalrous, but he can't control the love between men and women.

I also heard that Qiao Geng was also going to the capital, and it happened that he was going to go too, so I planned to go with him.

It's just that Qiao Geng walked very slowly for three days, and finally went around and around to the county town near Li Wanwan, but Qiao Geng didn't go up to the windward attic where she was.

He saw that she was wearing a gorgeous red dress today, with a somewhat intoxicating smile on her face, and the beauty made him panic for a while, and then he saw that the downstairs was crowded, squeezing the hydrangea one by one and wanting to receive it from her.

For a moment...... Qiao Geng didn't think about anything, and wanted to walk downstairs in a few steps to take the hydrangea in her hand.

Even Yan Swordsman saw the hesitation on his face, and said to him: "If you want to go......, you can go! But why is it grinding and chirping again today?" .

Qiao Geng's face was full of sorrow, but in the end, all his expressions returned to calm, and he endured the injustice in his heart.

Then he didn't look back, and prepared to go out of the city with Yan Swordsman.

He didn't know...... After he left, Li Wanwan waited from morning to sunset and dusk without waiting for the person she wanted to see, so angry that she finally threw the hydrangea to someone casually. The person who received the hydrangea downstairs was dancing happily, but she was lonely.

......

Qiao Geng and Yan Swordsman walked for more than three years, and finally walked into the capital.

During this period, the two of them suffered a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of sins, some of them couldn't drink water in the stall next door for more than ten days in a row, and they were robbed by dozens of bandits, and when they encountered floods, the two were helplessly trapped on the mountain for more than a month......

However, in the past three years, Qiao Geng has also learned some swordsmanship from Yan Swordsman, but he doesn't know anything about reading, but his talent in swordsmanship is beyond ordinary people, as if he is an expert in sword practice in his bones!

Not only did he learn all the skills of Yan Swordsman, but he also left him far behind!

In Yan Swordsman's own words, he himself is a first-class swordsman and Qiao Geng has long been a super-first-class swordsman! Nowadays, there are few worldly martial artists who can hold him!

It was here that the two officially parted ways, and just in time for the imperial examination, Qiao Geng went to catch up with the exam.

But the result was that he still did not get satisfactory in the exam, not to mention the name of Sun Shan, that is, Sun Shan did not have him in more than 100 years.

He was disheartened and prepared to return to Wugu Village again, but fortunately, another opportunity awaited him.

In the capital, there are big thieves rampant in the capital, and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion will not be able to catch anyone for a month, which makes the Son of Heaven a little angry, but Yin of Jingzhao Mansion has no choice but to paste the notice again, only hoping that someone can arrest these thieves under the heavy money!

After Qiao Geng saw it, he thought that he had the ability to do it, so he received this notice, and then arrested these thieves in about three days.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin saw that he had the ability, so he kept him by his side and made an exception for him to catch fast.

Qiao Geng wanted to refuse, but he thought that after he went back, he would just spend his whole life in Wugu Village, so he stayed.

Time flies, and another five years have passed, because Qiao Geng has repeatedly solved several major cases, so he has become the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion in the capital, and the official residence is the fourth grade.

Even when people in the rivers and lakes hear his thunderous name, they have to give him a thumbs up.

But at this time, an accident struck, and Qiao Geng's country had an unstable border, and was repeatedly violated by neighboring countries, and hundreds of thousands of people were sent to the frontier before and after, and all of them were buried on the battlefield! ......

Under such circumstances, Jingzhao Mansion Yin promoted him to the emperor.

The emperor was actually a little suspicious of Qiao Geng's establishment at first, but he also heard a little about his recent actions in Beijing, so he asked him to be a pioneer first, and choose a day to pacify the frontier with the commander.

In this way, the size of his official position has changed from the fourth grade to the second grade, and all of a sudden it is almost the same as that of the current dynasty horse Miao Hai!

It's just that when it comes to this concubine, he has really been inactive all these years, except for doing some good articles, he has almost no real talent, and he is secretly doing the business of reselling people and opening up tobacco willow land, but how many people are not ashamed! Unfortunately, first, he took the title of Emperor Jin's favorite princess, and second, he was attached to the Taiwei, one of the three provinces, and this minister often blew some wind in the emperor's ears!

The emperor turned a blind eye to Miao Hai's inaction...... Just relegated him to a barren land and made a command!

So in this way...... Wu Mu and the others focused their attention on him, so they didn't know about Qiao Geng's changes.

It's just that at this time, Qiao Geng was a little hesitant, originally his idea of coming to the capital was to be comfortable and unrestrained......

But what is this now? He smiled bitterly, and first calmed himself down, and prepared to go to the frontier in a few days.
