Chapter Seventy-Nine: Retreat to the Mountains and Forests
Le Yiyang came out of Ge Minshan, returned to his room to pack his luggage, left a letter, and set off with Guan Ruoji, Bu Chunsheng and Kuang Weizhuang. The four of www.biquge.info them had just arrived at the stable, and Fang Jun and Xue Wenxuan had already pulled out four horses, and the one headed by Tuoba Jiyu was Tuoba Jiyu's mount.
Seeing Le Yiyang and the others coming over, Dai Fang Jun stepped forward, handed him the reins of the horse, and said, "Le Gongzi, you can take this horse on the road." Le Yiyang said: "Dai Shaoxia, let's leave it to Brother Mei, they are also leaving." Dai Fang Jun said: "Senior Sister Yuan has already explained to me, let me be sure to give you the white horse." The place where Mei Gongzi and Miss Zhai live is not far from the Lonely Valley, and Senior Sister Yuan will make her own arrangements at that time. ”
After Dai Fangjun finished speaking, he looked behind him again and asked suspiciously: "I heard Senior Sister Yuan say earlier that Miss Cuixin went with her son, why didn't I see her at this time?"
Le Yiyang smiled and said: "This matter is a bit complicated, you will naturally understand it in the future." After speaking, he climbed on horseback and said to Dai Fangjun and Xue Wenxuan: "Two young heroes, we will have a meeting later." ”
Guan Ruoji, Bu Chunsheng and Kuang Weijian had also gotten on the horse and said together: "Senior brother, this time has been hard for the two of you. Dai Fangjun and Xue Wenxuan replied in unison: "Young Master Le, three senior brothers, take care all the way." ”
The four of them drove their horses forward, and soon came out of the mouth of the lonely valley. After a while, when he came to a fork in the road, Le Yiyang stopped his horse and said, "We will leave the boundary of the Lonely Valley, calculate the distance, and we will arrive in Hengzhou in ten days." ”
Guan Ruo immediately said: "Young Master Le, when we arrive in Hengzhou, what should we do?" Le Yi said: "Do your best to stop the Khitan army from going south." Guan Ruo immediately said: "Okay, Le Gongzi, we will all obey your orders when the time comes." ”
Le Yiyang glanced at the three of them and said, "Three brothers, we will live and die together in the future, you don't have to be formal, just call my life immediate." ”
Guan Ruoji, Bu Chunsheng and Kuang Weizhi glanced at each other on the horse and said, "Even so, we will call you Brother Le like Miss Cuixin in the future." Le Yiyang smiled and said, "That's fine." Three brothers, I have a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. The three of them said, "Brother Le, please speak." ”
Le Yiyang looked at the two roads in front of him and said, "You and I are four brothers, walking on horses on the road, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of others." I don't think it's better to do this, our soldiers will split into two ways, and then we will meet again in Hengzhou, do you think this is good?"
Guan Ruo immediately thought for a moment and said, "Brother Le, according to your words, I will be with Senior Brother Bu, you and Senior Brother Kuang together, and we will act separately." ”
Le Yiyang advised: "You have just come out of the Silent Valley, and you are not familiar with the situation ahead, so you must be careful when you act. Guan Ruo immediately said: "Big brother, don't worry, although the two of us are young, ordinary people can't help us." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Bu Chunsheng and said, "Senior brother, let's go." I rode away first.
Bu Chunsheng arched his hand to say goodbye to the two and said, "Brother Le, we'll see you in Hengzhou." After saying that, he rode a horse to chase after Guan Ruoji.
Seeing this, Le Yiyang said to Kuang Weizhuang: "Brother Kuang, your two senior brothers have very different personalities, and such partners can also learn from each other's strengths. ”
Kuang Weijian smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect Brother Le to see it at a glance." Senior Brother Guan is usually impatient, while Senior Brother Bu is gentle and elegant. The two senior brothers are not weak in martial arts, one is the champion whip, the other is the Tongguan knife, the two of them go together, we can rest assured. ”
Le Yi said: "Brother Kuang, I was fortunate to see you use the Tianshan Sword that day, and you can indeed use it freely, but if there is any trick, big brother can learn from it." ”
Kuang Wei stiffened and said: "Brother Le has won the award." I have been practicing Tianshan sword for seven or eight years, when I first practiced, I felt that the sword book was obscure, and I only learned one move in March, and then I practiced and practiced, and began to understand it, and I learned all thirty-six moves in less than a year. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that there is no secret to practicing swordsmanship, and only by accumulating a small number of moves can I use them with ease. ”
After hearing this, Le Yiyang agreed: "It makes sense. It seems that there is no shortcut to martial arts. Just like the Huixu Sword Technique I practiced, although there are only ten short moves, if you want to be invincible in the fight, you have to practice each move more than 100 times. ”
The two drove their horses and chatted at the same time, and their words were very speculative, and they both hated to see each other too late.
In the lonely valley, Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue packed their luggage and said goodbye to Le Yiyang in the past, but they met Yuan Zhenzhen passing by in the corridor at the door, and learned from her that Le Yiyang had set off.
Zhai Jingyue thought that Cuixin was also gone, but she didn't say goodbye to her, she was feeling lost in her heart, and when she saw Cuixin silently walking towards her, holding an envelope in her hand, she suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that Le Yiyang didn't want to burden Cuixin, let alone delay Cuixin, so he went on the road alone with the disciples of the Yougu Sect. Cui Xin waited in the room, but did not see Le Yiyang coming to her, so she ran to his room and found that the quilts in the room had been folded together, the tables and chairs were neatly placed, and there was a letter left on the table.
Cui Xin trembled and stretched out her hand, took the envelope, opened it, and only a few words were written on it: "Sister Xin: When you saw this letter, I was already on my way to Hengzhou. Thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I didn't give you anything in return. I know you've always had a crush on me, but I can't just promise you. Now that I am gone, my life and death are not yet known. I hope there will be an afterlife, and then I will not fail you. It's cold in winter, so you have to cherish yourself. ”
After reading it, tears flowed out of her eyes. She looked at the letter, found that the pen and ink on it had not completely dried, and knew that it had just been written, and regretted in her heart: "Why didn't I come here earlier?"
She walked out of the door listlessly, not knowing where to go, just turned the corridor and found Zhai Jingyue and the others in front of her. She walked over slowly, threw herself on Zhai Jingyue's shoulder, called "sister" in a coquettish voice, and cried bitterly. Zhai Jingyue hurriedly hugged her and comforted: "Good sister, my sister already knows, don't be sad, is there still my sister?"
Cui Xin choked up and said, "Sister, I don't know what I did wrong, why Brother Le is always hot and cold to me." This time it's even more so, even if you don't want me to go with him, you have to let me give him a ride!"
Zhai Jingyue said hatefully: "Okay, sister." You have affection for Le Yiyang, but he is unrighteous to you, such a merciless and unrighteous person, why should you be so concerned about him. Cui Xin didn't answer, her eyes were watering, and she sobbed alone.
Mei Jiutong didn't understand what Le Yiyang wanted to do, sighed softly, and said to Zhai Jingyue: "Cuixin is sad, don't mix it blindly." Zhai Jingyue gave him a cold look and said, "I'm comforting my sister, it's good for you, not only did you not help, but you were talking cool words on the side, are you still her brother-in-law?"
Mei Jiutong was told by her like this, knew her temper, and was worried that she would annoy her, so she immediately stopped silent.
Cuixin heard the conversation between the two, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, this is my own business, don't complain about Brother Mei." Although Cuixin felt uncomfortable, she didn't want to affect the relationship between her sister and Brother Mei. Although she is young, she knows how to behave in the world.
After hearing this, Zhai Jingyue smiled slightly: "Okay, good, with such a well-behaved sister as you, I don't bother to quarrel with him." After she said this, Mei Jiutong and Cui Xin both laughed.
Seeing Cui Xin burst into tears and smiled, Mei Jiutong said, "Jingyue, let's go." Zhai Jingyue took Cuixin's hand and said, "Sister, I have decided to live in seclusion with your eldest brother Mei, you can live with us." In the morning, I heard Le Yiyang say that when he comes back alive, he will be our neighbors. He's a bit ruthless, but he's not a bad guy yet, and hopefully he'll keep his promises. ”
When Cui Xin heard this, she was in a better mood, and thought: "Brother Le didn't say goodbye this time, because he didn't want me to suffer with him, and he was worried about me." ”
When she was in Kaifeng Mansion, Cuixin's beauty was famous in the city, she was innocent, gentle and considerate, so she was loved by everyone. But she has never liked anyone, even if the son of the Taiwei Mansion shows her favor, she has never been moved. It wasn't until Le Yiyang appeared that she was moved and decided to follow him forever. By the time Cui Xin knew about the existence of Lai Jiyun, she had already fallen into a love network and couldn't extricate herself. In the matter of the feelings of young boys and girls, it is really difficult for outsiders to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
After the three of them said goodbye to Ge Minshan, they followed Xue Wenxuan, who led the way, to the valley mouth. It was less than noon, and the winter sun shone on people, making it look extraordinarily warm.
Mei Jiutong said: "Brother Xue, you personally sent us to the valley, thank you for your hard work." Xue Wenxuan said: "Why should Brother Mei be polite, you and we are neighbors." If you need any help, just come to us in Lonely Valley. Mei Jiu channel: "Okay, it's just that your master has set the door rules, otherwise I will also invite you and me to be guests." ”
Xue Wenxuan said with a smile: "Although Master has set the rules, if Brother Mei sends out an invitation, how can Master refuse? Brother Mei has built two wooden houses in less than ten days, and now he is accompanied by beautiful women, so I am both envious and jealous." ”
Mei Jiutong arched his hand and said, "Brother Xue said that he laughed. Xue Wenxuan said: "Brother Mei, go back here, you have a good journey." Mei Jiu Channel: "There is a period in the later stage!"
The three of them came to the mountains and forests twenty miles away. The soil is fertile, the vegetation is lush, and the environment is very beautiful. Within a radius of several miles, there are small hills standing on all sides, about 100 feet high, and there is only one path to enter and exit. There is a small lake in the center, and two new huts have been built next to it, and the wooden houses are separated by more than ten zhang.
Mei Jiutong looked at the scenery in front of him and said: "This is really a good place to live in seclusion, ordinary people would think that there is such a quiet place between the surrounding mountains." ”
Zhai Jingyue also praised: "Living in this place for a lifetime, I don't know how much better it is than living in another love building." Jiutong, you've worked hard these days. ”
Mei Jiutong sighed and said, "Jingyue, my hometown is originally in Danzhou. I left Kaifeng Mansion that day, and I wanted to take you back. But now that it has become Khitan territory, how can I let you go back with me to adventure. This time I went to the Lonely Valley, and saw that it was surrounded by mountains and forests, so I thought that I needed to find a quiet place to live, and I didn't bother with the complicated things in the world. ”
Zhai Jingyue was not surprised when she heard this, and only said: "Jiutong, I can understand your mood, now that it is very turbulent outside, it is indeed a wise choice for you to give up the official that day." ”
Mei Jiutong glanced at Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin, and said, "Don't talk about this, there are two new wooden houses here, I will live there, and you and Cuixin will live in one." It's up to you to choose which one you want to live in. Zhai Jingyue was stunned for a moment, looked at him blankly, and thought, "Don't you live with me?" Mei Jiutong saw the meaning of blame in her eyes, and said: "It's not safe for Cuixin to live alone, I can rest assured that the two of you live together." ”
Zhai Jingyue realized something and said, "Since this is the case, you will live alone." Said to Cuixin: "Sister, let's go to the room, I have been on the road for an hour, my feet are numb, and if I don't sit for a while, it will be wasted." As he spoke, he took Cui Xin's hand and walked into one of the huts.
Mei Jiutong looked at Zhai Jingyue's back, glanced at the surrounding hills, and suddenly remembered Tao Yuanming's "Words for Returning", and read softly: "Returning to the future, the countryside will not return? It's not far away, and I feel that today is but yesterday is not. The boat is far away with a light flutter, and the wind is fluttering and blowing clothes. Ask the husband the way forward, hate the morning light. ”
Reading the last sentence, Mei Jiutong smiled knowingly, and said to himself: "In the future, I will be accompanied by beautiful women every day, and I Mei Jiutong will not be satisfied." ”
