Volume 2 Lanzhou Chapter 10 Stepping on the Mountains and Rivers and Rushing to the Sky
Asked Annan to borrow two miscellaneous books, and moved a rattan chair from the bilge without any surprise, and Zhao Wuan spent half a day on the deck. Although the winter wind is cold, it is difficult for him to keep out the cold when he wears a white robe.
Li Huanglai was still angry in the end, and got off the boat without saying a word, and he didn't see anyone to stop him. Duan Taoli wanted to interject and say a few words, but was swept away by Zhao Wu'an's gaze and stopped his mouth in amusement.
Zhao Wu'an was immersed in reading a book on the deck, and Duan Taoli sat aside with a stove in his arms, stunned.
The merchant ships in Annam are not small, including the bottom cargo hold, there are three floors, and there are quite a few guys. The New Year is approaching, and he is about to go to sea, Annan is also busy for half a day, and he can't spare any effort to chat with Zhao Wu'an about his little sister, Zhao Wu'an is also happy, passing the time leisurely, and he doesn't feel bored.
After a long time, Duan Taoli suddenly asked, "Li Huanglai can't find the drawings, how can I return to the country?"
Her voice was empty, and when she said this, she didn't look at Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an glanced at Duan Taoli and frowned.
Duan Taoli's words really made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Wu'an is very self-aware, although he vows to subvert the sins of the dynasty, but what can be done and what cannot be done, he also has a sense of proportion in his heart, otherwise he will not be dormant in Jiuda Temple for ten years without changing his color.
But after all, Duan Taoli is an old friend of him, and the people of Valan, whom she misses, are living in dire straits at this time. Although Zhao Wuan kept reminding himself that this matter had nothing to do with him, it was also very unpleasant.
It's as if he has an invisible hand that forces him to help Li Huang and retrieve the stolen armory blueprints.
Zhao Wu'an quickly suppressed this inexplicable emotion, and said meaninglessly: "You are Princess Valan, you will have a hundred responses when you raise your arms, and you will naturally have a way to restore the country." ”
Even he himself felt impersonal and unreasonable.
Duan Taoli also sighed imperceptibly, almost vividly embodying this loss. In the past ten years, this princess of Valan, who has traveled all over the country on her own, has almost never been confused.
Zhao Wu'an sighed, stood up with his forehead pressed, closed the book in his hand and threw it on the wicker chair, and muttered, "I owe you in my last life." ”
Duan Taoli watched in a daze as Zhao Wu'an straightened out his clothes and picked up the sword box, until he jumped onto the river bank in one step, but he didn't react to this unexpected joy.
Annan's men were hanging outside the railing to inspect the wall of the ship, and when they saw it clearly, they shouted: "Zhao Jushi, it's almost dinner, what are you going to do? Boss An explained that you can't walk around!"
Zhao Wu'an shook the white robe on his body, hung up the sword box, turned around and smiled: "Find a piece of paper, go and go back." ”
The man sighed, nodded, and continued to focus on the task at hand. And Duan Taoli, who was sitting with a small stove in his arms, was stunned, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Brother Wu'an?" she called subconsciously.
Zhao Wu'an had already turned around at this time, waved his hand from afar, and did not look back.
"Just sit here and wait. An armory, I really can't look at it. ”
Duan Taoli, who had already rushed to the bow of the boat, heard Zhao Wu'an's words, and laughed out loud in a very princessly manner
Zhao Wu'an quietly rolled his eyes.
But Princess Valan still put her hands to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted from afar: "Thank you, Brother Wu'an!"
My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the first encounter in the Valan Mountains fourteen years ago. The little girl in a blue checkered dress sat under the tree, tears rippling and clutching a broken Buddha bead tightly in her hand.
Zhao Wu'an muttered: "This little girl, no matter what time it is, it doesn't make people worry. ”
Under the brilliant afterglow of the sunset, the cloth clothes of the laymen entered the city.
——————————
"He got off the boat. At the end of the sunset building, a man in black stood outside the pavilion and said.
The woman in the pavilion raised her neck: "Sure enough, it is not as expected by the helmsman." As long as Zhao Wu'an is alive, he will always cause chaos for us. ”
The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Zhao Wu'an entered the city, and our plan was much easier to execute." ”
"There's no rush yet. In the room, there were three or four stumbling eyebrows around him and smiled like a warbler, "We can still give him a chance, there are no more than three crimes, and the rules of the helm apply at all times." instructed Luo Yige's left envoy to kill him directly once he thought it was time, and he didn't need to report it. ”
"Yes. The man in black understood and left.
————————————
Zhao Wu'an entered the city and came to the restaurant where he had dinner that day. Duan Hunttian fought happily in this building, killing people on the street, not only failed to discredit the reputation of this shop, but helped it to go a long way, Zhao Wu'an arrived at this time, it was already a scene like a market, just waiting for a long line of people to eat.
It's no wonder that most of the people who are promoted to fight admire martial arts masters are fortunate to be able to see the master duel in their lives. Duan Hunttian, a second-grade swordsman who lacks one vein in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra, and Yin Fengxiao, the premier disciple of the Lingshan Sect, are both veritable masters, and compared with life and death in this building, it is naturally a matter of urgency.
It's a pity that such performances don't happen every day, and in order to maintain this lively scene, the shopkeeper has to put a little more thought. Maybe tomorrow I will launch a jar of wine that Duan Hunt has drunk, and then hire a storyteller with a sharp tongue to add oil and vinegar to the battle situation of the day for more than a dozen games, and you can sit back and enjoy it and make a lot of money.
Zhao Wu'an didn't come to eat, of course he didn't bother to line up, so he simply went around to the back of the inn. The door in the backyard was not closed, and Zhao Wu'an walked straight in, bumping into a guy who was feeding the chickens.
The guy raised his eyes, glanced at this strangely dressed guy with a big box on his back, and said vigilantly, "Who are you?"
Zhao Wu'an said unshockedly: "The shopkeeper asked me to deliver wine." ”
As he spoke, he took off the red box on his back, pretended to hold it in his hand, and walked forward openly. The guy still looked confused, but even if he had doubts, the japonica rice in his hand couldn't just spill his anger like this, so he had to calm down first and feed the chicks under his feet, and he didn't have time to take care of Zhao Wu'an.
Thanks to this big box, Zhao Wu'an actually blended into the restaurant like this. If you go in from the backyard, you can't go directly to the main hall, but you have to go up to the second floor, and go around from the back kitchen on the second floor to the private corridor in front of you, and then go back through the stairs.
Zhao Wu'an walked around the corridor for a long time, and he didn't bump into half of the people, and occasionally the guy ran up and down with two pots of vegetables, and he easily avoided it. After almost groping the second floor, Zhao Wu'an walked back to the front hall and looked down.
Sure enough, on the stage in the middle, a pool of dark red and black blood has not yet been swept away, and most of the diners sitting near the stage are pointing at the pool of blood and exchanging hearsay stories.
Zhao Wu'an went up to the third floor. According to what Duan Taoli said, Li Huanglai's room should be in the first room.
Zhao Wu'an stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but he didn't push it, but vaguely heard the sound of people moving inside.
Zhao Wu'an was waiting to listen intently when an innkeeper suddenly came out of the next room. This time, Zhao Wu'an couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he took a look at the guy, and the guy immediately said vigilantly: "What are you doing here? This room is occupied." ”
"Ah, that's why I wanted to come here and ask. Zhao Wu'an's face did not change, he lied and opened his mouth, "I have a bad problem, I must live in the closest room to the stairs when I come out to stay in the hotel, it doesn't matter if I spend a little more money for this." ”
The man sighed: "Then you better rest this guest officer, this room on my side has just been cleaned and can accommodate people." The first room over there was originally expensive, but now the two heroes are dueling, and it is even more overcrowded. The only one in the entire inn is my side that has just been withdrawn, if you want to rent it, it should be early!"
After speaking, the guy locked the door behind him, and continued to work upstairs in a hurry, and when he left, he did not forget to tell Zhao Wu'an to hurry up and go downstairs to book a room. said that maybe after a flash of divine effort, others gave him a quick start.
Zhao Wu'an didn't move, just stood at the door of the room and thought for a while.
If Chu Ting, Heiyunhui and Lan Zhouzi have nothing to do with each other, and talking to Li Huang is just a whim, then it is confirmed that someone has stolen something from Li Huang's room. However, his room is in the first room at the top of the stairs, even if the thief comes up from the backyard like Zhao Wu'an, it will take a lot of effort to pick the lock, it is said that it is very easy to be detected, why can Lan Zhouzi enter the room unnoticed, but instead show his feet when leaving?
The biggest possibility is that Lan Zhouzi has the key to the guest room.
Zhao Wu'an pondered for a moment and walked downstairs, pretending to be careless admiring the poetry inscriptions on the wall, and quietly glanced at the front cabinet out of the corner of his eye.
Like countless other inns, the shopkeeper sat upright behind the counter, and there were two handymen around him, the narrow counter was almost crowded to the point where there was no room to turn around, and the walls were neatly hung with spare keys for all the rooms.
This can almost be said to be in front of everyone, no matter how powerful Lan Zhouzi is, it is impossible to take the key from here.
Zhao Wu'an felt the trickiness rarely. As soon as he hadn't seen the thief's true face, there were many things that he couldn't speculate. Besides, the inn was overcrowded every day, and there were very few clues that could be left behind, so Lan Zhouzi might have already fled by now, and there was no room for maneuver.
Thinking so, Zhao Wu'an walked out of the door quietly. It is the rule of opening a store to usher in and send him, even if he doesn't know how he came in, there are still many small servants who shout to him and tell the guest officer to go slowly.
Walking outside the door, facing the bustling crowd on the street, Zhao Wuan was suddenly stunned.
Although there is no trace of Lan Zhouzi, a key clue seems to remain.
Not only did he stay, but he was simply presented to him with both hands.
——————————————
At nightfall, Zhao Wu'an left the city with the city gate closed, and returned to Annan's ship.
And the person who stood on the deck to greet him was very unexpected, it turned out to be Li Huang, who parted ways after a quarrel during the day.
Zhao Wu'an was a little surprised, but he didn't have the slightest interest in why this person came here, and wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, so he passed by him.
Li Huanglai suddenly bent his knees and knelt beside Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an stopped, his face a little gloomy.
"In the next life, I was taught the policy of settling down and governing the country and leveling the world, and I also took it as my responsibility to reign over the world. ”
In the east, a faint crescent moon rises, like a girl's newly painted eyebrows.
In the darkness of the night, Li Huanglai's voice was low and firm.
"Hearing your words, it is better than reading ten years of useless books, and I look at myself for the past, and I am indeed self-righteous and pretend to be smart, and I am ashamed in my heart. ”
"But when the phoenix comes to this life, only this move can be loyal, and the only way to repay his parents is to die. ”
"First of all, I had a negative Zhao Jushi, in order to fulfill my grand wish, Li Huang came to wish to serve the ancients and ask for sin, and Zhao Jushi had to see the sun and help me realize my wish, Li Huang will never regret his death!"
Zhao Wu'an laughed at himself: "It was Momoko who told you about me going into the city to find drawings, right?"
Li Huang knocked on the ground with his head and didn't say a word.
Above their heads is the bright moon of the Tang Dynasty, and under their feet is the river of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
They were born at this time, and they are the heroes of today.
Whether it is wise or foolish, like-minded or-for-tat, with this as a will, you will have the courage to step on the mountains and rivers and rush into the sky.
