Chapter 158|

When the sunset burned the clouds in the sky into a fiery red, the mellow aroma of wine had already intoxicated her snow-white little face into a red scene.

It's a little weird. Although this crescent moon brew is indeed quite strong and sweet, even Wang Manxiu, who boasts a good amount of wine, was caught off guard, but after all, it is a cheap wine that can be bought in the hands of the vendors in front of this Guanhu Tower, and it is naturally impossible to achieve the point of 'three bowls are not enough', and it is even more impossible for people to get drunk with only one sip.

Wang Manxiu quietly turned his head sideways and looked at her beside him out of the corner of his eye.

I saw Zhong Liyan's white skirt brushing the ground and sitting near the water, his knees and legs tightly tucked together in front of his chest, slightly revealing his white socks. She held a small pot of crescent moon in both hands and gently pressed it against her lower lip, only smelling it, but not opening it. In addition, although she was holding the wine jug with both hands, she was actually only gently pressing the edge of the flask with her four fingers, the middle finger, the nameless, and the tail, and the thumb was closed in the palm of her hand for some reason.

The lake breeze blew on the face, blowing the swaying and winding green silk, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes.

The lake breeze dissipated, leaving behind a curled petite body and a pair of miserable lowered pupils.

Wang Manxiu looked at her like this and pursed his lips silently.

He was trying to say something.

But he didn't know what to say.

He and her, Pingshuiyuan, life and death, but they are not familiar with each other in any way, and there is almost nothing left to know each other except for a 'Mr. Bai' and a 'Miss Yan'.

Of course, it's not like you don't really know anything.

He knew her surname was Zhongli.

He knew she had a spiritual eye.

She knew he would settle accounts.

She knew that he was a thousand enemies.

It's just that the time he met her was just an overnight moment after all.

Pingshui night, really bright day.

The love between the two, how can it be talked about as a peach blossom pool?

But even so, he rode into the Western Regions alone, visited the heads of various families, and knocked on the gate of Ninglin Mountain with a knock on the royal court...... Although he didn't do all this for her - the words 'kill one, save one' are not children's words.

So, he wanted to say something, he wanted to ask her.

I saw Wang Manxiu stretch out his hand and put the wine jug lightly in the green grass, turned sideways, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Yan...... Speaking of which, how could you pass by Pingshui County that day? It is 108,000 miles away from the Western Regions. ”

But as soon as the words fell, Wang Manxiu regretted it a little.

He originally thought that if he asked her about her interests and preferences as soon as he came up, he would be a little too pretended to be courteous, so he wanted to start with a relatively neutral question. But because she was born in the relationship of Qimen, family, friends, and colleagues, these questions could not be asked one by one, and even if she allowed him to ask, he would not dare to ask-the rainy scene of Pingshui that night can still be vividly remembered at this time.

So in the end, Wang Manxiu could only settle for the next best thing, and wanted to pick a seemingly innocuous question to open the topic - but this question was a little suspicious of knowingly asking.

"Hey...... Is the gentleman asking me?"

Perhaps because of the intoxicating aroma of wine, Zhong Liyan, whose face was crimson, looked up, his voice was a little light, his eyelashes were a little trembling, and he had some sleepy eyes. I saw her looking at the white clothes, her eyes were tender, and she whispered, "That day, I and ...... Uncle Hu and his brothers were supposed to stay in Yongdu......"

Wang Manxiu looked away slightly, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and asked, "Have you seen the Yonghua Emperor?"

Zhong Liyan nodded quietly.

"Son of Heaven...... Don't like my eyes. ”

She pursed her pink lips lightly and muttered, "So we can only rush all the way back to Lanting from Yongdu...... But I didn't expect it to be in Pingshui County...... I met the son of the Yin family, and I met you, Mr. ”

Wang Manxiu sighed quietly.

He had already guessed.

Come to think of it, after learning the news of Zhongli Yan's spiritual eye opening, the entire Western Regions Qimen will inevitably flock to it, and they are bound to take this pair of spiritual eyes into their own hands, they either want to let their Qimen realm rely on the spiritual eye to leap forward, or they want to give it to the big family to gain decades of prosperity and wealth...... According to Yin Shao, Lanting's Zhongli family is just a small Qimen family that is not named, there are no three saints and no seven heroes, and even a Qimen hero like Sima Xiande who has a skill. These spiritual eyes fell into their hands, and they were afraid that it was a more terrible flying disaster than a 'killing order', rather than some unexpected joy.

Therefore, if you don't want your baby girl to fall into the hands of these jackals with strange eyes, then the head of the Zhong Li family naturally has only two choices

First, go north to the military country, find the military master, and seek refuge;

Second, go south to Yonghua Kingdom, find the Son of Yonghua, and seek refuge.

It's just that five years ago, the military and military countries sent 600,000 troops to the south headed by Bagua, while Yonghua sent 300,000 troops to meet the former led by the prime minister Di Yu and the general Long Kang. The two countries finally fought a decisive battle in the city of Diwu, with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, and ended in a narrow victory for the Yonghua Kingdom. And in this battle, the Qimen rivers and lakes of the military and military countries, those Xuanshi who belonged to the military 'Zhulong Mansion', went to seven or eight out of ten, and they actually made the Qimen rivers and lakes in the north lose their firepower overnight - I am afraid that at this time, if the Qimen of the Western Regions wants to send troops to the military with their hair stiff, the latter may not be able to resist it.

As a result, only Yonghuaguo is left.

Therefore, that night, Wang Manxiu, who was going to Manyan Courtyard, saw her in the rain from a distance on the streets of Pingshui County.

"Xiao Sheng will go back in a while, and let Yin Shao kowtow to you and Zhong Lijia. ”

Wang Manxiu took a breath, glanced at the Qinghe sword beside him, and said to her, "If he refuses, I will use this sword to repair him." ”

When the sound fell, I saw her covering her lips with a wine jug, and chuckled a few times, which was very nice.

"It's okay, Mr. Bai, it's okay. ”

She whispered, looked at the rippling lake, and said, "Young Master Yin and the good girl have already said to me in the past two days......

She muttered, smiling slightly.

It's okay?

It's okay.

Because they've already apologized.

They have already apologized for killing Uncle Hu and killing their brothers.

He was humble......

Wang Manxiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

The setting sun splashed on her side face, which was very beautiful and tranquil, and there was not a trace of resentment to be seen.

She was convincing herself.

For something that should not have been forgiven even ten heads kowtowed, convince herself.

Maybe it's to keep him from embarrassing, or maybe it's to keep her from embarrassing herself.

She was convincing herself, quietly, over and over again, under this sunset.

Wang Manxiu did not speak again.

He turned around, looked at the lake reflecting the sunset on the horizon, picked up the pot of wine again, closed his eyes and looked up to take a sip, but he could no longer taste the sweetness of his tongue, only his throat was like a fire, and it lasted for a long time.

"Sir, you say ......"

Her voice flowed into his ears like a stream.

"What if...... If I didn't have these two spiritual eyes, wouldn't it ......?"

She lowered her brow quietly.

I don't know if he didn't hear it clearly, or if she didn't finish speaking.

It's just that after that 'will it be', there is really no follow-up.
