Volume 1: The Boys' Rivers and Lakes Chapter 15 "The Scholar"
It was dark as ink at night, and there were scattered dots in the sky.
Shangzhou City has long been asleep.
There is a black shadow silently touched under the city wall, Shangzhou City is an old city, not to mention hundreds of years of history, although the emperor of Daliang has also repaired, but it can not stand the erosion of wind and rain.
However, to climb this wall with bare hands, it is very difficult for ordinary people, even with hooks and ropes.
But Qu Mingnan is different, because he is a martial arts master on the rivers and lakes, although his internal strength is not as strong as farm work, it is more than enough to climb this city wall.
Because it was night, there was no one nearby, Qu Mingnan deliberately chose a place where no one was, there were a few trees near the city wall, which could be used to borrow strength, Qu Mingnan jumped up, stepped on a leaf lightly, and then floated towards the city wall, and stepped on the rough city wall, just after a while, Qu Mingnan landed firmly on the city.
At this time, a group of patrol soldiers was about to pass by, Qu Mingnan looked around, except for the city wall or the city wall, there was nowhere to hide!
So Qu Mingnan climbed down the city wall, hung his hands on the city, and waited quietly for them to walk by.
............
The county government is naturally more closely guarded.
However, it is much easier to enter the county government than to climb the city wall, but Qu Mingnan didn't expect that there were no guards in the county office.
He didn't know how long he had been walking in this county office, and he vaguely looked at it, and it was already the back garden, and the scenery around him had become elegant.
Pine forests, bamboo forests, pavilions, buildings, rockeries......
Leafy gravel road, clear lotus pond......
The wind blew the pine and bamboo, and there was silence all around, and suddenly, a maid walked by, and Qu Mingnan rolled over in the shadow of the mountain rock.
He didn't know that an old man who was on the night patrol heard the movement and immediately reported Lang and He who were sitting in the hall for tea.
The white scholar picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth and blew the tea foam lightly: "Come quickly." ”
Lang Ziruo instructed: "It's good to come, you must shout 'catch the assassin' when you go out, and don't remember to shout in the other direction, so that the more people who know, the better, and it is best to spread it outside the house." ”
The old man of the night watchman heard the sound and retired.
Lang Ziruo looked at the white scholar with a smile on his face.
"Lord Ho is really calculating. ”
Bai Jing Scholar took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and got up and walked to the door, looking at the dark sky, and smiled to himself.
"Tonight, destined to have no sleep. ”
"There's an Assassin!" someone shouted in the courtyard.
Qu Mingnan's heart was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look around, although there was movement in the garden, but no one here was alert to investigate, knowing that he was not exposed, because although someone went out with weapons at this time, he was not coming in his own direction, and the source of the sound was also far away from him.
Isn't there someone else who broke into Lang's Mansion at night tonight?
Qu Mingnan couldn't care so much at this time, so he could only try to find the direction of the dungeon.
After looking for a while, the dungeon was not found, but I found the miscellaneous room by mistake!
This miscellaneous military room is the place where Lang Ziruo collects weapons, Lang Ziruo has nothing good in his life, and his biggest hobby is to collect weapons, and his two swords must be here.
Thinking of this, Qu Mingnan didn't care about the danger of being discovered, and slammed open the locked door very hard, and as soon as he entered, he was immediately dazzled.
There were more weapons in it than in the store that sold them, and as for his two swords, they hung in the center.
A green plum, a search for the south.
The Qingmei Sword was built by someone when he became famous, and the Xunnan Sword was given by Shangguan Nanxun, and both swords have special meaning for him.
One is his identity and the other is his wife's identity.
Looking at these two swords, Qu Mingnan couldn't help laughing confidently, he quickly took off the two swords, this Lang Ziruo also cherished the sword, and it could be seen that the two swords had been carefully repaired, Qu Mingnan hugged the two swords and walked out of the door, continuing to look for the direction of the dungeon.
At this moment, there is still no movement in this back garden, there must be some peculiar reasons for this, it's not that Qu Mingnan didn't think of this, it's just that he is eager to save people, and since his family members have been arrested, then he naturally dares to fight hard.
It's just that he doesn't know that he is the one who was tricked.
Isn't that also something to laugh at?
............
Qu Fu was a little flustered at this time.
Qu Mingnan had already appeared, and Shangguan Nanxun was in a complicated mood at that time, and he couldn't say whether he should be happy or sad, just because his husband was not a place or a time.
But there is no way, he appears just like he appears, and he hasn't seen him for eight years, and he appears in this way.
Seeing that Qu Yao was about to take someone to save people, Shangguan Nanxun endured his grief and insisted on going with him, but Qu Yao couldn't help it, so he naturally could only agree.
Liang Qianqiu went back to the house and put the teapot away, and arranged for Xia Er to stay here honestly, and then followed Qu Yao and the other servants to the direction of the county office.
The little girl who had just worshipped her teacher, Qu Yang, stood quietly beside her grandfather with tears in her eyes, without saying a word.
The old lady Qu Dejing stood outside the gate, looking at Qu Yao and the others who had not gone far with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but cry, his eldest son who he hadn't seen for eight years, even if he heard his news today, it was better than not knowing life and death for eight years before.
............
Qu Mingnan, who was holding two swords, seemed to Lang Ziruo at this moment to be just a well-jumping clown with high martial arts.
Qu Mingnan looked at Lang Ziruo hatefully, just now he learned that he had been deceived, that is to say, he had been played like a fool in the past few days, and he still believed it.
"Lang Ziruo, you are really still that despicable and shameless treacherous villain. Qu Mingnan was surrounded by dozens of officers and soldiers, and there was no possibility of escape.
"I'm cunning, I'm despicable, whatever you say, just the nonsense of the dying person in power, do you really think that I don't kill you now?" Lang Ziruo snorted coldly, "Hmph, wait, I'll let you Qu family die together later." ”
The white scholar still stood behind Lang Ziruo, like the most faithful servant.
Tonight, the moon is dark, but they know that they are thinking about the palace.
Qu Yao and the others soon arrived at the mansion, and seeing his eldest brother being besieged, he couldn't help but clench the fists in his hands.
"Lang Ziruo, let my eldest brother go, or don't blame me for being polite!" Qu Yao had no way to rescue his eldest brother, so he could only stand and talk ruthlessly, and as for Shangguan Nanxun, he could only stand aside and look at her husband who was close at hand.
Liang Qianqiu stood in the crowd, and the first thing she saw was not Lang Ziruo, who made her feel very bad, but the man who looked like a scholar with his eyes closed.
I always felt that this person was familiar, but I didn't know where it was familiar, so she could only stare at him vigorously, but the "scholar" was closed, and no one could ever see the secret in his heart from a closed eye, right?
Lang Ziruo suddenly laughed, and then pointed to the group of servants with knives and sticks behind Qu Yao, and shouted loudly: "What, you Qu Yao broke into the county government at night, do you want to rebel?"
What a great condemnation is this!
Qu Yao also laughed, and only after laughing did he say: "This official heard that Langzhi County arrested people late at night, and he came here to help." Why, no?"
Lang Ziruo was angry: "Okay, I'll see you still have a hard mouth later." Brothers, the Qu family intends to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, give it to me, don't be afraid of killing!"
On the other side, Qu Yao also waved his hand, and the two sides immediately fought against each other.
Qu Yao found Lang Ziruo and wanted to catch him.
However, he was stopped by several men in black who suddenly appeared.
Liang Qianqiu originally disdained this kind of petty fight, so he just stood aside and watched the excitement, but he didn't expect that this Lang Ziruo actually invited someone from the martial arts.
And it's five.
This is not the time to fight for numbers, the addition of the five men in black makes it impossible for the Qu family to fight at all, these five men in black are extremely tricky, and they are very spicy, and there are casualties on the scene.
It's just that in this case, Liang Qianqiu alone can't do it with one or five, unless Qu Mingnan can also play ......
Shangguan Nanxun didn't know martial arts, so he could only stand aside and watch.
So her eyes couldn't help but look at Qu Mingnan, Qu Mingnan was tied hands and feet and couldn't break free, and there were two people around her who were responsible for watching.
She found Liang Qianqiu and pointed at Qu Mingnan and said, "Miss Liang, look over there." ”
Liang Qianqiu looked over and suddenly realized what Shangguan Nanxun meant, she looked around, touched it silently, stunned the two people, and then loosened Qu Mingnan.
"Miss?" Qu Mingnan was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see Liang Qianqiu here.
"Don't be surprised, if you want to say surprised, it should be me. Liang Qianqiu interrupted him and pointed to Qu Yao, who was struggling to support, "Go and help, Qu Yao can't hold on." ”
Qu Mingnan shook his spirits and hit it with two swords in his hands.
Although the strength of the five black-clothed men is good, they really have to face a master like Qu Mingnan, but they are also a little overwhelmed, so they can only rely on the large number of people to deal with it.
Liang Qianqiu rolled up his sleeves and was about to greet the five black-clothed people, but was stopped by a hand.
She looked back, and sure enough, it was the person who looked like a scholar.
"They can't leave today, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?" The man didn't speak, but Liang Qianqiu really listened.
It's a sound transmission, this person's strength is extraordinary!
But who is he?
Liang Qianqiu ignored him, followed behind Qu Mingnan, and rushed forward.
The white scholar sighed.
Qu Mingnan's shot, the form of the scene changed again, and after a while, the five men in black fled.
Shangguan Nanxun stood aside and looked at his man's figure, he was really powerful and handsome.
But at this moment, a pair of hands reached out to Qu Mingnan, those hands were silent, but they were as fast as a dragon, Shangguan Nanxun shouted, but Qu Mingnan didn't realize it, Shangguan Nanxun didn't know how terrifying the strength of people who didn't even know Qu Mingnan was, so she rushed up.
"You don't want to die?" Liang Qianqiu brushed aside the hands of the "scholar" who came quietly, but he didn't expect to be almost injured by the latter.
Although he saved Shangguan Nanxun's life, he grabbed it back with both hands and took Shangguan Nanxun away directly.
"Stop!" Lang Ziruo shouted when he saw this scene.
Qu Mingnan didn't notice the crisis behind him at all, and when he turned around when he heard the sound, he suddenly found that his wife was locked in front of him by the "scholar".
"Let her go, and I'll be at your disposal. Qu Mingnan wanted to negotiate the conditions, but Lang Ziruo didn't give him a chance, Lang Ziruo took out his sword and put it on Shangguan Nanxun's neck, threatening: "You live and die, you live and die, choose for yourself." ”
The blade of the sword slashed lightly on Shangguan Nanxun's neck, and blood had already flowed out of the white neck, flowing down the neck to the ground.
Qu Mingnan looked at the drop of blood that fell on the ground, and was about to pick up the sword without hesitation to kill himself, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Nanxun was one step faster than him.
"Mingnan, I want to go to the end of the world with you. ”
"I want to have another son with you. ”
"I want to grow old with you. ”
"I want to ......"
The Baijing scholar let go of Shangguan Nanxun, and her body slid to the ground.
Blood, flowed out.
Qu Yao stood in place and didn't know how to persuade him, Liang Qianqiu looked at the "scholar" full of doubts, Qu Mingnan hugged Shangguan Nanxun and cried bitterly.
Who is that person? Why is he so powerful but he doesn't make a move, and where does his familiarity with him come from?
Liang Qianqiu feels that this "scholar" is definitely not simple!
