Chapter 2 The Return of the Immortals

A hundred years later, inside the city of Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The wind blew the dogwoods, and the snow hit the plum and the apricots.

In the small garden of the annex, the chrysanthemums of the past have been replaced by dogwood, southern bamboo, and junzi orchids that bloom in winter, and the branches of the two plum trees on the wall are covered with snow, and two or three flower buds are only a point. The garden is clearly well tended and can be so vibrant in the winter.

Qingqing sat on the edge of Ma Xuewen's bed, supported his legs on his laps, and pinched them over and over again.

Ma Xuewen was wearing a bandage on his right arm, and his left hand brushed her sideburns and hair, which made her look shy. "These things, just leave them to the next person to do, you have been pinching for a long time, go and rest, don't get tired. ”

Qingqing pinched her calves, and then beat the sides of her knees in a different way, looking at Ma Xuewen with some tears in her eyes, with affection: "Don't move when you lie down." ”

Saying that, he choked up again: "Such a dangerous thing, why don't you tell me." Now I'm so badly injured. ”

Ma Xuewen looked at Qingqing's crying face, at a loss, and hurriedly wiped the back of his left hand: "Don't cry, don't cry." It's not right for the husband, not next time. Okay, don't cry, don't cry. ”

He stroked Qingqing's fragrant shoulder with his left hand, Qingqing fell on his knee, and his whimpering voice slowly weakened: "I'm so afraid of losing you." ”

"It's the hardest thing to be believably graced, and I've finally tasted it today. Qingqing, I promise you that I will be by your side for the rest of my life. ”

When Qingqing heard this, she cried even more sadly.

The two of them talked to each other, and the small door of the boudoir was pushed open.

"Ouch, ouch, early in the morning, I heard these sour words, and my sour teeth fell out!" The first to come was the second Han Linyuan. He shook his head with a smile on his face and said, "This was often said by 'Wei Ze' in the past, and from now on, our Ma Daguan will also be like this." ”

Ma Xuewen didn't speak, but he heard another voice at the door and smiled: "Eh, I'm all drunk, Brother Xuewen is massive, how can he be drunk." It must be from the bottom of my heart. It was Wei Ze who spoke.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Qingqing was even more shy, bowed her head slightly, quickly got up, gently wiped the tears on the bags under her eyes with her cuffs, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she was a little charming: "I'll go and prepare tea for your brothers." A few brothers sat slowly. ”

Han Linyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't sit down, we're just here to find Xuewen and go to Brother Bing'er's house to have a look." There's a lot going on over there, go see if there's anything you can help with. ”

Ma Xuewen and the three of them went out, it was still snowing lightly just now, and this son will be sunny again, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the wild geese are flying high, which is really a good sign.

The whole house is still handling Aunt Cai's funeral, and the tent is hanging high, in black and white.

Although outsiders don't know about last night's thrilling, this new funeral in King Xiang's "main room" alone is enough for the dignitaries and dignitaries of Chang'an to be busy.

There were a lot of people inside and outside the courtyard, and the old housekeeper was in a hurry, not only to deal with the visiting nobles, but also to carefully instruct his subordinates to arrange them inside and out.

King Xiang was busy for a while, so he didn't care about these things anymore. Li Bing can understand his father's temperament, he just doesn't like to show his sadness. But Anzi seems to be somewhat cold.

After noon, a team of people arrived at the Xiangwang Mansion with boxes of rewards, and the duke announced his will, and the entire Xiangwang Mansion was crowned from top to bottom. Needless to say, Li Binghe Mi Xin said that Anzi was also awarded the rank of Captain of the Fifth Rank, although he had no real power, but he was very happy to receive silver every month in the future.

After eating, the doctor came and grabbed two doses of medicine for Anzi, and saw that the wound was not small, and left two boxes of powders for external application. The subordinates were busy with the funeral, and Li Bing said that he would personally give medicine to Anzi.

"Shhhh As soon as the ointment was applied to his face, Anzi pushed it back: "It was cold just now, but this time it's hot and spicy, and it's itchy." ”

He was about to reach out to scratch it, but Li Bingyi grabbed his wrist: "Don't scratch it." If you move such a long three wounds, you will have to leave a scar at that time. ”

Anzi stuck out his tongue and smiled: "How good it is to leave a scar, which hero does not have a scar on his face, I would like to leave one! ”

As he was talking, someone knocked on Anzi's door.

Li Bing responded, and as soon as he opened the door, the cold wind poured in, bringing in a cloud of snowflakes. King Xiang stood at the door with a solemn expression, his hands intertwined in his sleeves: "Where are you?"

"Huh?" Originally, there were few opportunities for my father to come to him, but when I met and said such a sentence, Li Bing was even more confused: "Daddy has something?"

"I have something to ask you two about. He stared at Li Bingdao, as if watching his reaction: "'Xianmen Conference', have you heard of it?"

Anzi was completely puzzled, but Li Bing said: "Naturally, I know, Xuewen participated in it last year, and only then did he worship the famous teacher, and he came back this year and really made great progress in martial arts." Lin Yuan has also complained many times, he has been urging his family to go, and that kid is not good at learning for fear of being embarrassed, so he has been dragging it out. ”

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly came to his senses: "What? Daddy wants me to go?"

Li Yan bowed slightly: "That's it." Almost all sects of the Immortal Dao hold a grand meeting at the beginning of each year to select disciples. ”

When he said this, he suddenly turned to look at Li Bing and added, "That's where I met your Uncle Mi Xin. Originally, only the emperor's relatives could participate in the name of the imperial family, but after last night's incident, the emperor sent someone today to make an exception and allow you to participate in the name of the imperial family. ”

Looking at Li Yan's expression, Li Bing felt a little strange in his heart: This was originally a good thing, why did Daddy speak as if there was something unspeakable?

Li Yu responded: "It's okay to go, if you can't get used to it, come back." This matter is just a message brought by the emperor, it is not a holy decree, and if you don't want to go, there is still room for maneuver. ”

Speaking of this, Li Bing naturally heard it: Daddy's high achievements and hiding his edge are things that everyone in the family knows. After last night, the emperor saw that even if Dad handed over the military power and did not have a tiger talisman, he could still order a group of old troops in the barracks. Coupled with the family background of my sworn brothers, it is estimated that the emperor is no longer at ease, so he has to find a way to let me leave Chang'an and break into the rivers and lakes.

"Why not, such a good opportunity. Li Bing agreed. Since the Meridian Sect, he has always been somewhat curious about the matter of cultivating immortals, and this time, coupled with his father's embarrassment, he naturally wants to go.

Li Yan was relieved when he heard this, and smiled when he heard this: "This is very good." Today is the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and I am afraid that after the fifteenth day of the new year, someone will come to pick you up. Then he looked at An Zi and said, "It's little brother Qingfang, I may not be able to go this time." You are Bing'er's sworn brother, you might as well live in the house and wait for Bing'er to come back, the yard where you struck iron, I have already asked people to clean it up and let you use it alone. ”

Anzi was embarrassed for a while, completely out of mind, and began to think about where he would go after Li Bing left. But I heard Li Bingdao: "Dad, don't worry about this, in previous years, there were two places for the non-faction, Lin Yuan has never got, and no one else has gone, this time it is okay to let Anzi borrow the name of the non-faction." ”

Although he said this, he thought in his heart: It's really not good, what about the Meridian Sect, how can I say that it is also an immortal cultivation sect, Han Jun let his apprentices participate in the conference, there is nothing difficult. ”

"That's fine, you also have a care for together. Li Xuan got up after speaking: "Everything else is fine." Yesterday was a tiring day, so rest for yards. ”

As soon as Li Yan opened the door, there were already people waiting in the snow outside the door, it was really Han Linyuan and Wei Ze. Ma Xuewen three.

King Xiang nodded, politely thanked him for last night's incident, and went to the main courtyard.

He exhaled and shook his head slightly: Originally, he planned that after Li Bing left, he directly ended Anzi, and said to Li Bing that Anzi left by himself. Now that he already knows that An Qingfang is the son of An Lushan, according to his temperament, people who are harmful to his family would rather kill by mistake than leave a disaster. It's just that now it seems that there is no chance.

said that Ma Xuewen and the three had just entered the door. Li Bing and Anzi both laughed.

Han Linyuan and Ma Xuewen untied their phoenix feather cloaks and exposed their hands and arms. Both of them were hanging from their arms with white gauze, one had injured their left shoulder, the other had injured their right arm, and now they were standing side by side in the doorway, which was really funny.

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh! I'm injured for your Li family, and you still laugh!" Ma Xuewen looked serious: "It's good now, don't talk about the injury, go back to my dad is angry, saying that I am nosy, and the team that accepted me is not counted, and I was almost grounded." If it weren't for the fact that my shoulder was still injured, I might have had another full beating. ”

Han Linyuan walked to the table and sat down, and glanced back at Ma Xuewen, who was still stunned at the door: "You can be content, the imperial court has given you a five-grade official." has merit and fame on you, see if your father dares to beat you. ”

Seeing Wei Ze also sit down, the round table was already a little crowded, Ma Xuewen reached out and took a round stool and sat on the side: "Hey! It's good if you don't give this false position." Now that I have the official title of the imperial court, this reputation spreads, and many people on the road are estimated to no longer cooperate with us in the future. ”

Li Bing ignored Anzi's objections, and in front of the three of them, he continued to evenly wipe the half-coated ointment on both sides of his nose, and glanced at Ma Xuewen again: "What's so difficult about this, it's better to take this opportunity to unify black and white, and it's not bad for a few brothers to be polished at that time." ”

Everyone laughed, "Hiss!" Among the five people, three of them were injured, and this time the wounds hurt, and when they looked at each other, they laughed again.

"Looking at Brother Bingzi's thoughts, but last night's matter was not settled?" After all, it was a companion who had been playing since childhood, and Han Linyuan could see it at a glance.

"I'm always happy to be with you, I originally wanted to stay in Chang'an for a while longer, but now it seems that it can't be done. Just now, my father asked me to see the 'Immortal Dao Conference', and I will leave after the year. ”

"Haha, that's just right!" Han Linyuan laughed twice: "When I was in Luoyang, I was thinking about what excuse I was going to use to drag it out this year, and now that Brother Bingzi is going, then I will naturally go with it." Xuewen has already entered the 'Vertical and Horizontal Vertical Sect', now you and I will go again, and the five of us will be left with Wei Ze and Anzi. ”

Ma Xuewen was also happy when he heard it: "I will go back to the sect after the year, maybe we can meet again." ”

Wei Ze glanced at Lin Yuan: "You know that I don't know how to do martial arts at all, and you still come to make jokes." But it's Anzi, I thought I wouldn't have any martial arts like me, I heard that he showed his hand last night, why don't you let him go with you?"

Li Bing nodded and said: "This is also what I want to ask you, there are two places for the non-faction every year, anyway, no one goes, why don't you give Anzi one?"

"Ah!" Han Linyuan bit his lip: "This, if I had said it earlier, it might have been okay." Last night, the daughter of the hall master came back, and according to the hall master's meaning, she is also going to this year's conference!"

"Hmm~!" Li Bing's brows furrowed together, a little frustrated: "Then I can only find someone to send a letter to the Meridian Sect quickly." After speaking, he was stunned: "You said the daughter of the hall master?"

"Yes, her name is Yinglan'er!"
