40 The clouds open and the fog disperses
A week after the end of the battle of Suining, the people who left the city returned to their homes one after another, returning to their usual livelihoods and repairing the wounds of the war. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The people did not want to know what happened in the war, nor did they know how many soldiers had paid with their lives to make them home. For them, it is enough that the land that has survived for generations remains, and the beloved ones are still alive.
Xiao Jie and Liu Ru walked beside the stream in Suining, admiring this war-torn city.
In the early morning, on the banks of the Suining River, there is still some morning fog, which makes the landscape along the way look hazy, but the fog will dissipate as soon as the sun is seen, so the two of them do not feel bothered.
"How is Chief Qin's recovery?" Xiao Bei suddenly asked.
Liu Ru replied with a smile: "She is in good spirits, and now she is training the remaining soldiers of the White Pole Army, and she is also leading people to help repair and destroy houses, reclaim abandoned farmland, and comfort the bereaved people, and it is almost impossible to see that she was weak like that before." ”
"Really? Looks like it's time to ask her something. Xiao Bei said to himself.
Seeing that he deliberately kept a distance from himself, Liu Ru couldn't help sighing, and said faintly: "Xiao Zangmastiff, why are you still so afraid of me? I said, I won't force you to show me my face anymore, now I ask you out, I just want to invite you as a guest, make a pot of tea for you personally, and thank you for saving me that day." ”
"Who said I was desperate to save you?" Xiao Bei exclaimed, "I'm just saving myself." ”
Liu Ru frowned and said: "Lu Shao said it, he also said that you were so injured that you couldn't even move at that time." But as soon as I saw that Zhang Xianzhong was going to arrest me, I immediately exerted my strength, desperately pulled out the halberd on my chest, and stepped forward to fight Zhang Xianzhong desperately. At this, she smiled, her face flushed, and she seemed to be both shy and proud.
Xiao Bei gasped and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that I'm blind, how can I accept such a disciple who turns his elbow out." ”
Liu Ru couldn't hold back a smile, stepped forward to lean on Xiao Bei, and said, "Look, Zhishi Mo Ruotu, do you still want to deny it?
Xiao Zhi sneered and said: "Master Liu, Lao Wei has the virtue of a good life, that is not to say that it is you, even if Zhang Xianzhong wants to step on an ant, Lao Wei will fight to save him." ”
"You monk who specializes in stalking. Liu Ru pursed her lips and smiled, "Even my first kiss was taken away, and I was still pretending there." Say, isn't this your first time? I see that you are flamboyant, and you must have had another woman before. ”
A vague emotion suddenly appeared in Xiao Bei's heart, but he was familiar with it, and quickly suppressed this thought, and said lightly: "The past and old things are like clouds of smoke, what do you want him to do?"
Liu Ru suddenly stood in front of him, stopped, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "I don't care what happened to you before, but since I believe that you are my husband, I don't allow you to think about other women when you are with me." I will also be single-minded, marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog. ”
"You're so unreasonable, didn't I've promised to marry you. Xiao Bei lamented.
Liu Ru said stubbornly: "You promised, just three weeks ago, in this place where you are standing now, I said it myself: as long as you promise to show me your face, I will marry you." You were in a hurry to remove the dog's head, but unfortunately it got foggy and I didn't look at anything. ”
Xiao said in his heart: "I just wanted to lie to you to see Liu Minshi, so I followed your words." But now that I've lost that thought, there's no need to dwell on you. But he couldn't say this, so he had to scratch his head and said: "With these words, I will make a private decision for life, it's too child's play, I still have to wait for my parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker are ......."
Liu Ru shook his head and said: "I yearn for the love between the ancients, often between men and women at first sight, promise each other, every word, never regret it, what parents' lives, matchmakers' words, are all shackles and arsenic that restrict freedom and poison the soul." ”
"That's it, I can't argue with you, let's do it first. Xiao Bei was anxious to make a detour.
"What's the matter?" asked Liu Ru as she reached out to stop him.
"What's that...... Just do as you say. Xiao Bei panicked for a moment.
"Really! Xie Fujun is fulfilled!" Liu Ru immediately smiled like a flower, holding Xiao Bei's arm and jumping and jumping.
When Xiao Bei heard this title, he wanted to stop talking, but somehow, at this moment, he couldn't be ruthless at any time, so he had to laugh at himself: "Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei, why did you go around for a long time and return to the old road? At that time, I will be free to fly. ”
He deceived himself like this, his mind relaxed, and Ren Liu put his arms around and paced slowly along the riverside.
The breeze blew, slowly sending the fragrance of peach blossoms on the riverside, Xiao Bei was in a trance for a while, and couldn't tell for a while which was more beautiful and which was more fragrant.
――――――――――――
It was night, Qin Liangyu's room was lit with candles, and the light and shadow were shaking. She looked out the window with a serious expression, as if waiting for something.
A gust of wind blew, and there was one more person in the shadows behind her.
She seemed to notice something, and turned to look at the person in front of her, with confusion in her eyes.
"Hornless frogs, I'm not waiting for you. Qin Liangyu frowned.
The man stepped forward and came to the candlelight, this man was emaciated, with long hands and feet, a mask on his face, and no facial features.
"No, I'm the one you're waiting for. Hornless said in an affirmative tone.
Qin Liangyu changed color when he landed, took a step back, and muttered, "It turns out that you are a Tibetan mastiff monk...... The Tibetan mastiff monk is you, I should have thought of it a long time ago...... No wonder you won't show your face. ”
The hornless frog sat on the spot and said, "Say, why do you want to help Zhang Xianzhong." If your answer is not satisfactory to me, then you will not see the sun tomorrow. ”
Qin Liangyu smiled miserably, sat across the table from the hornless cricket, and said, "Aren't you also Zhang Xianzhong's person?
Hornless said: "I am an undercover agent of the Blood Dragon Gate in the Heavenly King Army, and now the Blood Dragon Gate has broken with the Determined Heavenly King Army, so I took action to stop Zhang Xianzhong." ”
Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly: "I see, I am just the opposite of you, although I am an official of the imperial court, I am actually a believer in the Seven Killing God Sect. ”
"The Seven Killing God Cult, how did you get involved with them?" asked the hornless frog.
Qin Liangyu said: "Most of the Seven Killing God Sect are weak and helpless women, and I joined the sect twenty years ago. ”
"Twenty years ago, how old were you?" said the hornless cricket.
Qin Liangyu said: "At that time, I was just nineteen, because I was a Miao woman, and my husband Xuanfu made Ma Qiancheng know him very early, and I married him when I was thirteen years old. ”
"Because of the fierce people of the place where I was born, although I am a woman, I also know how to fight, and it was not long before I followed my husband to fight east and west to quell rebellions in various places. Because I was brave and good at fighting, and as a woman, I soon became famous in the Ming army. My husband's men are also obedient to me. ”
"But when I was sixteen years old, my husband was framed by a eunuch and thrown into prison, where he died unjustly not long after. For me, who loved him dearly, this news was like a bolt from the blue. But my husband has always taught me how to be loyal to the king, so I have always kept it hidden. The emperor did not hold me accountable for this matter, but ordered me to lead my husband's subordinates and continue to march and fight. ”
"I had nowhere to vent my grief, so I poured it out on my enemies, killing countless people and accomplishing many battles, until when I came to my senses, my hands were covered with blood. ”
"At this time, I was introduced by a sister to the head of Yunyin of the Wuxiang Guanyin Pavilion, and she continued to persuade me to explain, saying that the suffering of fate is karma, and then she introduced me to a sect, which is all the bitter women of Sichuan, saying that I entered the teaching, and all the confusion and anxiety in my heart will be answered. ”
"I was on the verge of a breakdown, and I rushed to the doctor, and I just got into the church in a daze. After joining the sect, I found that there were countless members of the Seven Killing God Sect, and with so many companions with the same tragic fate, I felt a little better in my heart. ”
"Originally, I had no devotion to the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs, until one day later, the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs conferred a dream on me and told me about the teachings of the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs and their lofty ideals. He also said that although I have done many killings before, the people I have killed are all sinful, and killing is doing good. ”
"I was already distressed by the excessive number of murders I had at that time, but when I heard his words, I was immediately relieved, and from then on I worshipped him with all my heart and devotion to him. ”
"Not long ago, when I captured you in the town of Sword Pavilion, the little Dao Gu named Xuelian asked me to see me, and showed me the oracle of the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs, saying that he would be born in Zhang Xianzhong, leading the majority of believers to eradicate evil and create a new life. ”
"I was astonished, that Zhang Xianzhong was my enemy, how could I help him? But the snow lotus induced countless miracles, and changed into the image of Guanyin without a phase, and finally convinced me. ”
"Later, I followed her instructions and killed the cell guards after you escaped from prison, and framed you, trying to make Yang Tianchen and his daughters afraid of you. In this way, without your protection, they will not be able to meet Linghu Jiujian, and Zhang Xianzhong will be able to get the help of the Blood Dragon Gate, and he will be a little more sure of seizing the world. ”
"And in this battle of Suining, Xuelian asked me to pretend to be defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, ask for help from the Gongyi family and Zuo Liangyu, and help him escape from prison after the two arrive and Zhang Xianzhong is captured. I originally thought that Zhang Xianzhong just wanted to seize the three-eyed god gun and Zuo Liangyu's baggage, so I agreed to him. Who knew that he was a wolf with ambitions, wanting to turn the entire city soldiers into his puppets, and even caused my soldiers to kill each other. ”
"The moment I killed my mutinous men, I finally came to my senses and regretted what I had done, but now the big picture was decided, and I couldn't think about it. Therefore I swore to die, and I wanted to kill myself by going on a hunger strike to atone for my sins. Fortunately, Heaven has sent you to miraculously crack his plot and alleviate my sins.
