Chapter 163
Li Qiufeng saw that Liu Shengfeiyan's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and knew that her energy was constantly dissipating, so he had to stretch out his right palm and stick it on the big vertebral point on her back, slowly sending the internal force into her body.
Liu Sheng Feiyan lifted his spirits a little, and then said: "The next morning, they will be on their way again. He whispered to me that when he was done, he would come back to me, and when the time came, he would take me away and fly away to a place where no one else could find me. I had forgotten about my father's plan to drag him to Weston, and I had all my heart on him, nodding my head vigorously.
"After they left, I sat in the store, as if I was floating in the air, thinking about nothing, but thinking about a lot of things. That's when my dad suddenly appeared. I thought he was going to punish me, but he looked at me strangely, stared at me for a long time, muttered a few more words, and finally quietly left.
"I thought that even if he wanted to come back to see me, he would probably live for a while. But unexpectedly, that evening, he suddenly appeared at the door of the inn on horseback. I was so happy that I went crazy, and as soon as he entered the inn, he picked me up, said that he could not let me go, and rode back.
"We had a great night that night...... Later, he said that he had brought me a gift, but when he went to get it, he found that he was in too much of a hurry because he was afraid of being discovered by his subordinates, so he left the gift he wanted to give me at the place where he was staying.
"I was afraid that he would be upset, so I told him to bring it to me when he came back from his errands and when he passed through Weston. He nodded, and then fell asleep with his arms around me. I slept soundly in his arms that night, as if I had never slept so soundly since I was a child and moved to Heiankyo with my father after leaving Hanshan Fishing Village. The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I found him holding a hairpin in his hand and said with a smile that it was a gift he gave me.
"Then I learned that after I had fallen asleep, he had secretly ridden to his lodgings, fetched the hairpin, and ran over again. He traveled more than 100 miles, and he didn't sleep for most of the night. He said that the hairpin was made by the most famous craftsman in Yizhou, and that after he left Westgate and arrived in Yizhou yesterday, he suddenly saw this jewelry store while wandering on the street, so he asked the owner to make this hairpin. After the hairpin was built, he suddenly missed me very much, so he sneaked back to Meron Town.
"I made him breakfast, and we sat in the inn and talked about some interesting things about each other. I knew that Daddy and his men were hiding in the inn, and at that moment I made up my mind that I would not let anyone hurt him!
"It's just that it's not yet noon, and the old man has brought people back to Weston Town. Childe said that he would never leave me, but the old man had no choice, so he discussed it with the others, and promised that he could take me with him.
"The days that followed were the most alive days of my life. We played in Jiangnan together, ate together, listened to music, and toured the mountains and rivers...... He taught me how to write, draw, play the flute, and also taught me to ride a horse and shoot arrows. He said that he also served as a chief military officer and led troops out of the customs to fight the Tartars.
"Among the brocade guards and yin and yang weird people under him, there are many martial arts masters. Especially that old man, his martial arts are incredibly high. I once saw him try out martial arts and put a bird in the palm of his hand, and the bird couldn't fly. He said that this is the qigong mentioned in the rivers and lakes, which can hurt people in the air and kill people invisibly. Only then did I know why Daddy didn't intercept him halfway, because even if Daddy made a move, he was no match for this old man.
"Then we went to Nanjing. He took us to live in a big house. I have lived in Nanjing for more than a year, and I know that this house is the residence of Wang An, the eunuch of Nanjing. That Wang An controlled the army of Nanjing City, and was the most powerful person in the city. At this point, I had vaguely guessed his identity, but he never mentioned it, and I never asked. We just want to be happy together, and we don't think about what the future will be.
It's just that happy days are always short-lived, and soon they are ready to leave Nanjing. I heard from a few people that they were going to rush back to Beijing. On that day, we drank and watched a play in Wang Anhou's house, singing a play "The Palace of Eternal Life", which tells the story of Emperor Tang Ming's gratitude to Yang Guifei who hanged herself in Ma Weipo, and the story of summoning the soul of the concubine in the Palace of Eternal Life. The scene was sung so well that I was fascinated by it, and I ended up crying. He held my hand and said to me that he would never be as ruthless as Emperor Tang Ming, and even if he was surrounded by rebels, he would not leave me to survive alone.
After watching the play, Wang An said that big fish have suddenly appeared in the garden pond recently, and there are horns on their heads, which is quite magical. Naturally, he didn't believe it, so he got on a small boat with Wang An and wanted to catch the big fish in the pond. A few days ago, for some reason, some of the brocade guards and yin and yang weird people who followed him suddenly disappeared. Even the old man with strong martial arts left suddenly, and at that time I already knew that the old man's name was Zhang Yong, and he was his great butler. At this time, most of the people who accompanied him were the guards guarding the eunuch yamen in Nanjing.
"I wanted to accompany him on the boat, but when I got to the edge of the pool, I suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit. He was frightened and hurriedly called the doctor who accompanied him. The doctor took my pulse, and then said to him, "Congratulations to my son, my wife is happy."
He was so happy that like a child, he turned five or six times on the ground, rewarded all the guards with money, and prayed to Heaven to thank the Emperor for his son. Wang An said to him: "The sky is auspicious, and the big fish with horns must be a sign that the noble man will have children. He laughed and told me to rest on the shore, and he wanted to see what the big fish looked like.
"I watched him and Wang An get into the boat. He sat in the bow of the boat, and Wang An sat in the stern rowing. I was about to sit down when suddenly two yin and yang weird people came over and said that Zhang Yong had come back and wanted to invite me over to talk. Naturally, I didn't suspect it, so I followed the two to the bottom of the stage. When I got there, I found that there was no one, and I was hesitating, only to feel a chill in my heart, and a dagger pierced me in the back of the heart. When he turned his head to look, he saw that the two had left in a hurry. I took a few steps forward and saw the boat in the pool from a distance, and he was getting up from the bow of the boat, but he swayed a few times before falling into the pool. I was so frightened and scared that I didn't know anything when it was dark......"
When Murong Danyan heard this, he couldn't help but cry out "ah", and then asked, "What happened later?"
Liu Sheng said in a trembling voice: "When I woke up, I was lying on the bed. Daddy stood by the bed, saw me awake, sighed and said, 'You have finally woken up, this life has been saved.' My mind was in a mess and I asked Daddy why I was lying here. My father told me that I had been in a coma for more than 20 days, and that he had to work hard to get me back. I slowly remembered what had happened, and when I thought of him falling from the bow of the boat, I sat up, grabbed my father's hands, and asked him if he was safe.
Daddy sighed and said that he had been rescued ashore, but he was seriously ill and had been sent back to Beijing. I asked Daddy in a trembling voice who this man was. Daddy said that I had already guessed it, but I was just asking him for confirmation. He told me that this person was the emperor of the current Ming Dynasty. This emperor likes to mess around, many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with him, and there happens to be a prince who wants to be the emperor, so he colludes with the ministers in the court, and wants to take advantage of his private visit to Jiangnan to kill him, and at the worst of all, drag him in Jiangnan, the prince took the opportunity to rush to the capital and ascend the throne as emperor. It's just that the emperor is surrounded by masters, and he has to find a way to turn these masters away.
"Dad said that there are also people in the court who are dissatisfied with the prince and suspect that he is going to rebel, because he has been secretly monitoring the prince's movements in the past few years. He and the prince made a plan, and released news on the rivers and lakes, saying that the prince wanted to rebel, privately made weapons and armor in the old prince's mausoleum, and also hid the jade seal lost in the previous dynasty in the mausoleum.
After the officials of the imperial court heard about this, they summoned a large number of martial arts masters to the old prince's mausoleum, wanting to find evidence of the prince's rebellion. In addition, many masters have also been mobilized from Jinyiwei and Dongchang. The reason why the guards around him were changed was because they wanted to do this important thing. In fact, this is all the ploy of the bigwigs in the court, the prince and my father. These people were really fooled, and when they rushed to the old prince's mausoleum, they fell into an ambush by the killers of the Yanagi family. Although these people are very powerful in martial arts, they are in a hurry to meet the battle, and they are not familiar with the terrain, and several batches of martial arts masters are all wiped out. One of the most powerful Dongchang eunuchs among them also killed my father. ”
