Chapter XVII
Since the last tea stall incident, the three of them crossed Tongguan and came to Luoyang City a hundred miles away, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening.
Ye Shiyu and the three of them found a cave and stayed in the cave for a night.
Ye Shiyu lit the fire, took the air-dried marinated beef and some steamed buns, heated them, and handed them to the two girls.
"According to the map here, this place is not far from Luoyang, tomorrow we will step up our pace, we should be able to advance to the city after dark, rest early tonight, I will keep vigil." Ye Shiyu said while eating beef.
Peach Blossom nodded, but Liang Siyi said, "It's better for you to stay in the first half of the night, and I'll come in the second half of the night." ”
"It's okay, I'll just take it as a practice, and you guys have a good rest along the way. Ye Shiyu said while holding the wood and fiddling with firewood.
Seeing that Ye Shiyu was so persistent, Liang Siyi didn't say anything more.
The night was dark, and in the cave, Liang Siyi looked at the sleeping peach blossoms, then stood up and walked out of the cave.
Outside the entrance of the cave, Ye Shiyu was meditating cross-legged, and a cold and fierce aura on his body was intertwined.
Hearing the sound, Ye Shiyu stopped cultivating internal strength and opened his eyes.
Liang Siyi saw Ye Shiyu stop practicing, so he sat down opposite him.
"Can't sleep?" The two sides did not speak, and Ye Shiyu saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic.
Liang Siyi nodded, and said with some pain: "I didn't sleep well, as soon as I fell asleep, I thought of my father and mother, my dead brother, ......"
“...... I'm sorry. Ye Shiyu saw Liang Siyi's face in pain, and said a little apologetically.
Liang Siyi shook his head and said: "It's none of your business, my Huashan is not a famous sect in the first place, because of this great grandmaster cheats, and this disaster has nothing to do with others, but we are too weak, if we have the strength of the great forces in the world, we will definitely not fall into such a situation." ”
"The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, everything has to match his own corresponding strength, otherwise it will just invite death. Ye Shiyu said while fiddling with firewood.
Liang Siyi looked at the moon in the sky and said slowly: "Maybe, but I still want to take revenge!" Ye Shiyu, what is your experience?"
Ye Shiyu saw that Liang Siyi had hatred in his eyes, so he said: "My experience is similar to yours, you are because of a secret book, but I am because of a knife." ”
"A knife?"
"A knife that ruined my family!"
Ye Shiyu's tone was cold, he remembered the original scene for ten years, a whole ten years!
Liang Siyi saw Ye Shiyu's eyes cold, and her whole person was full of hatred, which was completely different from what she saw on weekdays.
Ye Shiyu returned to normal, lowered his head and played with firewood again, without saying a word.
..................
On the second day, when the sun was slowly setting, the three of them stood on a high mountain, looking at the grand city in front of them like a lion prostrating on the ground, and the three of them couldn't help but marvel.
Walking into Luoyang City, the three of them felt what it means to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain.
"I originally thought that Chang'an was already very big and there were a lot of people, but I didn't expect that this Luoyang City was as good as Chang'an!" Liang Siyi was shocked by the crowds of passers-by in front of him and the dazzling array of goods.
Peach Blossom hugged the piano and said: "Although Chang'an is also very atmospheric, after all, Luoyang is the capital of the prosperous dynasty, so it is naturally even more magnificent and brilliant." ”
Ye Shiyu's dynasty is the Sheng Dynasty, the country name is Sheng, and it has experienced the rule of seven generations of emperors, and the national strength is unprecedentedly strong. Outside the Sheng Dynasty, it was the barbarians who coveted the Central Plains.
The three of them came to live in Luoyang, a restaurant specific to the Oiran Competition.
Luoyang Ju is located in Luoyang City Qinglong Street, is the most famous restaurant inn in Luoyang, here to stay a night is a hundred taels of silver, eat a meal may be a thousand taels of snowflake silver, it can really be described as a lot of money.
However, Luoyang Ju contracted the residency rights of the contestants of the Oiran Competition, and the board and lodging were free, and the contestants who held the Oiran Race Sticker could bring five friends or entourages to live, and the same room and board were free.
The maid took the three of them to a courtyard behind Luoyang, the stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard were ready, and the three houses sat in the north and faced south, corresponding one by one, and there were pond willow trees dotted.
"Three, your dwelling is here, if you need it, wave the bell in front of the door, and someone will come, and if it is all right, then I will leave first. The maid bowed and then left the courtyard.
Ye Shiyu looked left and right, and said in surprise: "The organizer of this Oiran Contest is really powerful, and this set and furnishings are all the best choice." ”
Liang Siyi took off his hat and put it on the stone table, while Peach Blossom sat on the stone bench, put down the piano, and said: "This Oiran Contest was originally hosted by the Four Academies, and later as the competition became famous, even the royal family supported it. ”
"What did this Oiran choose? It was like Xiang Qinglou's women" Liang Siyi hadn't finished speaking, when she saw Ye Shiyu covering her mouth.
Liang Siyi slapped Ye Shiyu's hand with his hand, and was about to scold him, but when he saw Peach Blossom with a black face, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said, "Sister Peach Blossom, I'm sorry......"
Hearing Liang Siyi's apology, Peach Blossom's face changed quite a bit, and said: "This Oiran Contest is not like some Qinglou red card selection of Oiran, but it involves a story. ”
"What story?" Hearing the word story, Ye Shiyu was quite curious.
Peach Blossom recalled, and then said slowly: "Decades ago, the top of the list of the four academies was Yuhai Bingxin Ying Ying Ying, and the second ranked Spring Breeze Mu Ran Zhao Yunxiang was not convinced, so she singled out the four academies to compete with Ying Yingying, and the four academies had no choice but to arrange a competition for the two of them, scoring them from temperament, talent, and appearance. Unexpectedly, this move attracted all the famous people on the fairy phoenix list, and they rushed to participate in the competition. Seeing this, the four institutes formulated this Oiran Contest, which is held every five years. Therefore, the fairy and phoenix list on the "Jiazi Celebrity List" will be revised a second time in addition to the original one every five years. ”
"I see, I can't imagine that there is such a story hidden in an Oiran Contest. Hey, who won Yingying or Zhao Yunxiang in the end?" Ye Shiyu asked again.
Peach Blossom shook her head and said: "Neither of them beat each other and it was a tie, but the two became sisters, Ying Yingying married the current emperor, and Zhao Yunxiang is a member of the royal family, I heard that she once refused to marry for the sake of one person, just to wait for that person." ”
Liang Siyi said: "For the sake of a person, is it really good to be willing to be lonely for half a life?"
Peach Blossom thought for a while and responded: "Maybe this is her love, we are not parties, we have no right to evaluate her right or wrong, but if you want to win the heart of one person, the white head is not separated, compared to not being able to get a response from love, waiting is really nothing." ”
"This girl is right, if love does not respond, then waiting is torment. As soon as Peach Blossom spoke, she saw a handsome young man and a few servants walk into the courtyard.
