CHAPTER XLV
Feng Weiming glanced at Lu Zhuo on the ground, and then at the baby in Mei Zhi's arms, his hand couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword, one turned around, and stabbed the two subordinates under the horse in an instant, and then turned the sword body and stabbed the sword into his left abdomen.
His sudden action stunned everyone, Feng Weiming threw the sword to the ground, and said, "Take this sword, go quickly!" After speaking, he turned off the horse and said: "Take these three horses too, go quickly! If you go far, never come back!"
Lu Zhuo leaned over and bowed twice: "The wind is all great, and Lu Zhuo and Xian'er will never forget." ”
Feng Weiming turned around and said, "Hurry up!
Lu Zhuo and the three of them were busy on their horses, and they didn't have time to thank them anymore, so they went all the way to the northeast. Feng Weiming lay on the ground, I don't know how long he was lying, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, it sounded like there were twenty or thirty people, he knew that the pursuers had arrived, struggled to get up, and found that it was the left army of King Chengjun's henchman. The left army approached and ordered the left and right: "Quickly help the wind and unite it."
Feng Weiming said: "The thief took the horse and went northwest." ”
Zuo Jun didn't say much, and ordered the two to stay behind to protect Feng Weiming and return to Beijing, and the rest chased him out. Feng Weiming stood in place and watched for a long time, only to see that the left army divided his men into two groups, chasing them in the northeast and northwest directions, and suddenly there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
After that day, Feng Weiming never saw Lu Zhuo and the four of them again, nor did he hear any news from them, and Zuo Jun never mentioned what happened later, and he didn't dare to ask. This matter has been pressing on his heart for twenty-two years. Although he always felt that Lu Zhuo was more than lucky, it was not until today that he learned about Lu Zhuo's death from Yue Xian's mouth. Seeing that Yue Xian is here for revenge today, what should he do?
※※※
There were only Yue Xian and Xiaotong in the room, Yue Xian looked at the paintings on the wall, and said for a long time: "Feige sent a book to Qin He, telling him to prepare to return to Beijing." Xiaotong said: "After today's son came out of Xu Wen, I ordered someone to pass the book to him." ”
Yue Xian smiled, Xiao Tong was always the one who knew best what he was thinking. Yue Xian said, "You go to bed early!" Xiao Tong replied and went out. Yue Xian took down the sword hanging on the side of the bookshelf, rubbing the scabbard, the scabbard was shiny, and it was obviously often wiped. Yue Xian drew his sword out, and a cold air hit, and the words "Youning Seventeen Years" on the sword body were shining by the candlelight.
Yue Xian was in the room, holding a sword and dancing a set of Yue family swords, and the emotions in his heart calmed down a little, blowing out the candle and going to sleep. This night, as if I saw that cold and snowy night in my dream, my mother and Taozhi fought more than ten people under the left army, and finally both fell under the sword of the left army. At the moment when his mother died, he seemed to glance in his direction, hiding in the straw stack, and was tightly held in his arms by Mei Zhi, until Zuo Jun and the others walked away, Mei Zhi walked out crying...... He had heard this story from Aunt Fang countless times.
In the past few days, Yue Xian and the king of Beining have sent many subordinates to inquire about the five books, but they have found nothing, and they have secretly acquired a lot of ancient copies of these books, but they can't see the reason for it, so they all sent it to the king of Nanping, which can be regarded as a personal favor. Yue Xian felt more and more that the story was purely false.
On this day, Yue Xian was studying a new type of hidden weapon with Master Cheng, and Xiao Tong came in and said, "Childe, there was a little beggar just now, and he handed me a letter. As he spoke, he handed it over, Yue Xian took it and took a look, only to see that the cover was written with the words "Yue Gongzi personally opened", the handwriting was graceful and gentle, and it was from a woman's hand at a glance. Yue Xian secretly wondered, opened it and took a look, only to see that the letter read: "I heard the wonderful news of the son the day before yesterday, and I have been around the beam so far, and I look forward to talking about it again." There is also a line of small words below "Xie Gongzi Gift". Yue Xian knew that it was written by He Youqing, but he didn't know what she said about the "gift".
Xiaotong looked at Yue Xian and said, "I don't know which family's daughter it is?"
Yue Xian said with a smile: "Although I don't know which family's daughter, I will definitely be able to find clues about these five books in her." Last time it was in vain, but this time, since the other party took the initiative to invite, maybe you can gain something. ”
Xiao Tong seemed to understand: "Oh, is that the girl who lives in Dongcheng?" Yue Xian nodded and said to Xiao Tong: "The third sister wants to buy some flowers, you can go with her today." As he said that, he was about to go out, and Xiaotong asked, "Childe, do you want to call Aemon to go with you?" Yue Xian waved his hand: "No." ”
Following the road last time, Yue Xian arrived soon and knocked on the door, and the person inside the door seemed to know who the visitor was, so he opened the door without asking. Yue Xian saw that she put on the yellow cedar she wore when he first saw her, and tied a hanging bun on her head. Seeing Yue Xian, he still turned to the side with a smile like last time: "Master Yue, please come in." ”
Yue Xian walked into the house, no different from the last time he came, except that the dim sum on the round table was gone, replaced by a pot of small purple flowers. Yue Xian didn't know much about flowers and plants, although he thought this little flower was beautiful, but he didn't know what the name was. He Youqing brought a bowl of tea and put it in front of Yue Xian, and when Yue Xian smelled the tea, he knew that it was the four-leaf incense he had drunk last time. He took a sip of it, only to feel that the tea was more fragrant than before, so he asked, "This seems to be even more mellow than last time." ”
He Youqing smiled: "Naturally, it's better than the last time." Although the tea is the same, but this water is different, to the time of the cold spring, the sky is just slightly bright in the early morning, collect the condensation on the lotus leaves of Wanliutang and store it, boil it with a simmer when it is used, dry it until it is hot, and then make tea. It's just that it's not easy to collect, and I can only collect two or three cans a year, and I usually don't want to drink it. ”
Yue Xian sighed: "Sure enough, you need to be so ingenious as Miss He to make such a good product." Hearing Yue Xian praise himself, He Youqing's face couldn't help but blush.
Yue Xian asked, "I don't know what the 'gift' in Miss He's letter means?"
He Youqing smiled slightly, took out a cloth tiger from his arms, and pinched it gently, and the cloth tiger stuck out his tongue, looking very cute. He Youqing said: "The last time I fell out of you, I will treat it as a return gift to me, after all, I invited you to drink tea." ”
Yue Xian then remembered that this was the last time he bought it to tease the second elder of peace, but he didn't want to fall here with her, no wonder he couldn't find it later, so he smiled and said: "Etiquette is still exchanged, it should be so." ”
He Youqing said: "Since the courtesy is still exchanged, then this time I drank my tea again, and I used water that I was reluctant to drink, what gift do you want to return to me?"
Yue Xian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: I was careless and was caught by her words. He Youqing saw him in a daze, and said with a smile: "You are a seven-foot man, why are you so stingy?
Yue Xian's face flushed when she said this, and the tea in his hand was unconsciously put down, and the smile on He Youqing's face became even stronger: "That's it, I don't want a gift, I want you a few words!"
Yue Xian said: "Miss He, that's what you wanted at the beginning, right?
