Chapter 105: Together
With a suspicious and inexplicable mood, Qi Suyu carefully put the map into his pocket, put all the things that had been moved in place, and then gently closed the door, and hung up a new lock that he had already prepared, and the key was directly inserted into the crack of the wall along the door, and then took a few steps back, and then looked at the two wooden houses in front of him, his eyes were surging with emotion, and finally he turned around decisively, jumped over, and fell down the black cliff.
"I heard that Gonglu City was lost, but it still surrendered. Qi Suyu walked on the mountain road full of displaced people, listening to the people fleeing from all over the country complaining and complaining to each other, he remembered that there was no one on this road before, so he chose to go here, he didn't expect it to be such a scene of walking one after another, needless to say, it must be the same in other places.
"Gonglu City's city lord Yuan Zhongxia is a lay disciple of the Great Elder of Changkong Temple, it is said that this person has an extraordinary character, and his skills are profound, and it is not a problem to escape if he can't fight, so he won't surrender. Another interjected.
"What I said is that Gonglu City is in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will not be taken so easily. "The people who traveled were originally uprooted from their hometowns, and they were all depressed, but at this moment they opened the conversation box and argued with each other.
"You know one but you don't know the other. A well-dressed old man from the back also joined in and said.
Everyone turned back to find the source of the voice, and saw that it was an old man, and he didn't look like a village man and a savage, so he immediately saluted: "What secrets does the old gentleman have, why don't you tell us." ”
"I can't talk about secrets, these things are well known in Gonglu City. The old man was a little stunned, and then said: "Just say that Yuan Zhongxia is a person, there is really nothing to say, to the people and the soldiers are benevolent, and the skill is really not weak, if the thirty-three cities in southern Xinjiang let all the city lords compete, Yuan Zhongxia is definitely among the top three, plus the north of the palace record city according to the Xiajiang River, there is a rhino mountain on the left to defend, and there is a peak on the right to retreat. ”
"We all know what you always say, but you say something we don't know. The person who interjected before coaxed, and everyone else responded.
"I'll tell you what you don't know. The old man swallowed his saliva and said, "First of all, what you don't know is why Yuan Zhongxia gave up the honor and future of the Great Elder of Changkong Temple as a disciple and was willing to be the city lord of a small palace city, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison, those who walked in front also slowed down, and those who walked behind refreshed themselves and caught up, all wanting to hear about the unknown accidents of this usually high city lord.
Seeing that everyone had come together, the old man's tired face not only did not have a trace of joy, but a trace of sadness, and said, "You must have heard the name Xiziyu, right?"
"Of course I've heard of it, I heard that this woman has the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, how many men still recite this name in their hearts before going to bed at night, although everyone has never seen it, hahaha. A man with a few horses replied, and everyone laughed.
"Well, she is the lady of the city lord in the summer of the garden. The old man said.
"No, I've never heard of it, the Lord of Yuan City is really blessed, but I'm afraid only the Lord of a City is worthy of such a beauty. But what does this have to do with Yuan Zhongxia's surrender?" someone asked, and there was envy in his tone.
"Of course it has a relationship, after Yuan Zhongxia married such a lady, basically there was no time to take care of the affairs in the city, and this lady was not only good-looking, but also had many relatives and friends, occupying various positions in the palace and recording the city, embezzling city construction and oppressing the people. The old man's tone was a little indignant.
"Don't be angry, old man, this is human nature, you have this beauty in life, you are already born without regrets, and other things outside the body and things outside the body are nothing. Someone else said that as soon as these words came out, everyone also agreed.
Thinking that people have been accumulating money all their lives, what are they used for? It's not for the sake of marrying a beautiful wife, since they already have such a beautiful wife, of course, they are enjoying themselves, so why care about so many other idle things.
The old man didn't pay attention, and continued: "The night before Jiuyuan Island attacked Gonglu City, Yuan Zhongxia finally woke up and planned to survive with the city, but unexpectedly, an order came out, in exchange for Xi Ziyu and those relatives and friends, poisoned him to death, and then Xi Ziyu personally cut off Yuan Zhongxia's head and dedicated it to Jiuyuan Island. ”
"Ah, there is such a vicious woman. After everyone heard this, there were different voices of insulting Xi Ziyu from far and near, I am afraid that even Xi Ziyu did not expect that in this barren mountain and wild place, a group of people who had nothing to do with her greeted her ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Hmph. Suddenly, two chuckles came, and everyone stopped cursing, and followed the place where the laughter came from: "What are you laughing at, shouldn't such a despicable and vicious woman be scolded?"
The old man also turned his head, looked at the inconspicuous young man beside him, and said, "Why is Childe laughing?"
It was Qi Suyu who laughed, he was a little surprised to hear the old man call himself a son, and he was no different from these homeless people, I don't know why this person looked down on him.
"It's natural for you to curse Xi Ziyu, but I haven't heard anyone curse Yuan Zhongxia, but it shouldn't be. Qi Su Yu said.
The old man said: "Yuan Zhongxia lost his way and returned to his life, and finally was killed, what is there to curse?"
"It is indeed valuable to know that he has been lost, but he deserves his life. Qi Suyu replied.
"How do you deserve it?" asked the old man again.
"Indulging in beauty is not the fault of beauty, it is my own fault. After Qi Suyu finished speaking, he stepped on the horse's back and whipped away.
However, just such a small episode always haunted Qi Suyu's heart along the way, he thought about the beginning of everyone's admiration for the name Xi Ziyu or lustful color, eager to use the most beautiful language to describe her beauty, and then listened to the old man's words and did not hesitate to insult, simply used all the most ugly words in the world.
Why is the human heart so fickle and so easily changed?
Unconsciously, a familiar scenery finally appeared in front of him, that familiar house, isn't it the hot moon in front of the house, and there are wisps of green in the loose fence behind it, of course, the most reassuring thing for him is the smoke rising from the chimney of the roof.
Qi Suyu thought that he would be able to eat the delicious food he had not seen for a while, and his mouth couldn't help but salivate sweetly, and he almost fell to the ground. A hint of impatient joy slowly appeared between his eyebrows.
It seems that the invasion of Jiuyuan Island has not yet affected here, and Zhou Zhiyao is also safe and sound, Qi Suyu's hanging heart has finally settled, but his steps are getting bigger and bigger.
