Chapter 14: The Stranger
Tie Rose secretly hated for a while, suspected for a while, and then went to the outer courtyard to see Zhuo Feiliu, so he asked anxiously, "Xiahou Wuji, is he gone?"
Zhuo Feiliu said, "Just now." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" squinted his eyes as he spoke, grinning at Iron Brier.
Iron Rose got angry and said, "What are you laughing at?" and punched Zhuo Feiliu and said, "Prepare a horse for me!" Zhuo Feiliu still smiled.
Iron Rose ran to the inner courtyard to get the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword, and then came out, Zhuo Feiliu had already prepared the horses and led them to the door.
Iron Rose came out, tied her sword, took the whip, and said to Zhuo Feiliu, "Don't tell my uncle, I'm leaving!"
Zhuo Feiliu nodded and asked, "Senior sister, where are you going?"
Iron Rose got on her horse and said, "Don't worry about it!"
Zhuo Feiliu said: "Senior sister, don't go to Xiahou Wuji! That guy is a thief, I don't think he has a good heart, he is definitely not a good person." Yunfei and I are about to find out where he came from, don't go looking for him again!"
Iron Rose looked back and sneered, "Who do I know him?"
Out of the west exit of Dongtangzi Hutong, it is the main street. At this time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people on the street, and there were many cars and horses. However, the woman on the horse, in green clothes and carrying a sword, was the only one who was Iron Rose, so there was no one who did not notice her.
But the Iron Rose urged the horse to hurry, and the horse's hooves struck the stone with a crisp sound, and the stirrups clanged against the iron scabbard, and a long braid at the back of her head floated behind her like a green silk.
Some scoundrels in the street clapped their hands and shouted, "What a horse, what a beautiful man!" but Iron Rose did not even look back, and walked out of the door.
There have always been many hooligans and ruffians at Zhengyang Qiaotou, and when they saw the young girl on the horse, they couldn't help but be surprised and fascinated, but some of them knew that this was the niece of Daqimen Yun Zhanfeng, and some of them turned their heads and slipped away.
Iron Rose urged the horse straight into the west river, and when she reached the door of the Yuelai shop, there were two men standing here, and they all knew her.
Iron Rose dismounted, unsheathed the sword, and handed the horse to the man, who took the sword in her hand, and hurried in.
When she arrived at Yuwen Chengdu's room, she asked inside, "Is Uncle Xiahou in the house?"
Seeing that there was no one in the room, and looking around to see that there was no luggage, Iron Rose became more and more suspicious, so she put the sword on the table, and sat down on the chair by herself, waiting intently for Yuwen Chengdu's return. After waiting for a long time, Yuwen Chengdu didn't come back, but the servant Laisheng sneaked into the house.
Iron Rose asked, "Has your young master come back?"
Laisheng stumbled and replied, "I'm back." But he went again, out of the city!"
Iron Rose hurriedly asked, "Where did you go out of the city, did you go to the outskirts of Jiangdu?"
Lai Sheng's face changed color, and he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's out of Xizhimen!
Iron Rose asked again, "What are you doing in the West Mountain?"
As soon as Laisheng heard that this young lady kept digging the roots, he panicked even more, and even said, "Probably to visit a friend!"
Iron Rose asked again, "Where is your young master from, and what is he here for?"
This is quite able to answer, and what he answered is completely consistent with what Yuwen Chengdu said to Yun Zhanfeng, because Yuwen Chengdu had already taught him these lies.
When Iron Rose heard this, the doubts in her heart gradually subsided, and she waited for a long time. I still didn't see Yuwen Chengdu come back, so I was very anxious, so I wanted not to wait for him, go home, and ignore Yuwen Chengdu in the future, to see if Yuwen Chengdu was alienated or close to him in the future?
She was about to pick up the sword and walk away, when the door opened, and a fellow entered. The shopkeeper asked Tie Rose, "Is the girl's surname Tie, is she the young lady of Uncle Tie of Daqimen?"
When Iron Rose heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Who told you to ask me?"
The shopkeeper said: "It's a person with a Luoyang accent, ask the girl." I said that the girl did not live here, but he did not believe it, and said that he had just seen the girl come here on the street. β
Iron Rose was very suspicious, and quickly asked, "Is this man gone?" and the shopkeeper said, "Gone." He said that they had only come from Luoyang this morning, and that they were staying in a shop in Zhushikou, and that he was a servant, and that his master had called him here. His master is coming here tonight to visit the girl, and asks her to wait for him. β
Iron Rose said impatiently, "After talking for a long time, what is his master's surname, and how did he meet me?"
The shopkeeper said: "We didn't inquire carefully, but we heard him say that the owner of his house is named Yuwen Chengdu." β
Iron Rose angrily threw her sword and said, "Nonsense!!" The shopkeeper looked at him in a daze, and exited the house with a look.
Here Iron Rose turned her face and suddenly smiled at herself, and said in her heart: This must be him. I waited for him here, but he ran away and sent someone to play tricks on me. Because apart from me, no one knows that he once called Yuwen Chengdu, but what is the purpose of him playing such a joke on me? There are many people with the surname Yuwen in the world, he can't be someone from Yuwen Wencheng, right? No, no?
After a long time, it was already evening, and suddenly Yuwen Chengdu came back.
Iron Rose deliberately turned her face away from him. Laisheng stepped forward and said, "Young master, you have just left, this young lady has come, and I have been waiting for you here for a day." Have you finished dinner?"
Yuwen Chengdu didn't answer, he always looked at the promotion and spent the promotion.
Yuwen Chengdu said to Iron Rose, "I'm leaving tomorrow." I will go to find Chiyanyu culture and avenge your family, and I don't need your help. Within ten days after I am gone, I will send a letter to you, and you will understand!" Ironrose was startled, stood up, and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Yuwen Chengdu sneered: "You told me to go to Baoding, of course I went to Baoding." β
Iron Rose asked again, "Why didn't you tell us to go with us?"
Yuwen Chengdu sneered and said, "You guys are in the way of everything if you follow it, and you can't help me!"
Iron Rose choked on her words in anger and gasped before asking, "So, when will you be back?"
Yuwen Chengdu sighed and said, "Not necessarily, I'll tell you the truth! Since we met in Henan, I have admired your beauty, admired your martial arts, and wanted to be married to you!"
Iron Rose burst into tears, blushing, and said, "Didn't my uncle tell you today, if only you could avenge my father, he would call us...... Be a couple!"
Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and sighed: "No, no, I have refused in person!"
Iron Rose asked shyly and hatefully, "Why don't you want to?"
Yuwen Chengdu smiled miserably and said: "It's not much of a reason, it's just that I suddenly found out with my conscience." Ahem! You will understand in the future, there is no need to say more at this moment!" Suddenly, seeing Tie Rose hanging her head on the table and crying bitterly, Yuwen Chengdu's heart was like a knife.
Originally, yesterday he wanted to use a deceptive method to marry Iron Rose first, and then solve the hatred between the two families. But today he went to see Yun Zhanfeng, Yun Zhanfeng was honest and straightforward, and Tie Rose was gentle and gentle, and suddenly touched his conscience, he couldn't bear to bully other people's uncles and nieces anymore, so he refused the marriage in person.
Later, when he returned to his house in Liulitun, he saw his father Yu Wenhua and the information that he was eager to seek revenge from the heroes of Daqimen, he was already half dead of worry, and when he saw his son, he begged for help.
Therefore, Yuwen Chengdu thought again: Such a mediocre, stupid and cowardly person made him do bad things earlier, and now he should be forgiven. However, Yun Zhanfeng and Tie Rose must control his death before he can rest, which is too narrow, so Yuwen Chengdu negotiated with his father and wanted to leave Beijing the day after tomorrow to avoid Yun Zhanfeng. ...... Unexpectedly, now Iron Rose's cry made his heart soften.
Tie Rose cried for a long time, Yuwen Chengdu just sighed and said, "You don't know, the two of us are destined to die!"
Iron Rose angrily asked, "What does it mean to have no fate?"
Yuwen Chengdu said: "As the saying goes: there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no fate to meet on the other side." We have met, and we are very good with each other, so it can be seen that we are destined. Lives are ...... Today I calculated a hexagram and asked my husband to give me a marriage, and they all said that it was difficult to get married! If we get married, one of them will definitely die!
Iron Rose said, "I don't believe the blind fortune tellers. I'm not shameless, it's just that you treated me like that two days ago, and now you suddenly do this to me again, don't you mean to tease me?"
Yuwen Chengdu smiled: "So so, you will use the sword to kill me again, right?"
But the Iron Rose cried and said, "What am I going to do with you?" But I tell you, you don't want to leave! Don't say that you will avenge my father, I will follow, even if you go elsewhere, I will not let you go." Tell you Xiahou Wuji, I have long seen that you are a suspicious person, are you called Yuwen Chengdu, who are you!" Zhang Yunjie was taken aback, and asked with a deliberate smile: "Then what kind of person do you think I am?"
Iron Rose said: "I guess you may be a military attachΓ© who came to Beijing to do business, or you have a wife at home, but as long as you tell the truth, we can easily discuss these things!"
Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help laughing, sighed again and said: "You guessed all wrong, in fact, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth, but I ......" Just as he was talking about this, he suddenly heard Laisheng say in the courtyard: "Iron girl, someone is visiting!"
Tie Rose was taken aback, and immediately put away her tears, grabbed Yuwen Chengdu's arm and whispered: "I was waiting for you here during the day, and a person who called himself Xiahou Wuji came to me, is it you?"
Yuwen Chengdu was stunned and said, "No......" As he was talking, the door opened, and the visiting guest rushed into the house.
Because it was very dark in the room, and the visitor wore a black hat and a black cloak, and his face was invisible, but he could only see that he was quite slender, like a woman.
Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly went to light the lamp; as soon as the red candle was lit, Yuwen Chengdu, Tie Rose and this visitor were opposite, and the six eyes were suddenly all straight and in a daze, as if it was something that the three of them could never have imagined, and they actually found it in front of them.
Immediately, the visitor "sand" drew out a shining sword. The guest, who came to visit Tie Rose in the name of Xiahou Wuji, suddenly saw Yuwen Chengdu, and she immediately turned her face; the blue satin cloak was flicked, revealing a silver-red tight little shirt and trousers, and the black sideburns pressed by the sable women's hat on her head, and a pair of gold earrings swayed under the sideburns.
Her eyes widened, her face was furious, and her sword pointed at Yuwen Chengdu, and she said sharply: "Boy, I can't imagine catching you here!"
Yuwen Chengdu's face turned purple, he took off his sword from the wall, and said with a sneer: "Hmph! You are so bold! You dare to come to the capital,"
Iron Rose was also very surprised, because the guest who came was her old friend four years ago, the famous female thief Red Scorpion. It was already too surprising that she dared to sneak into the capital, and she met Yuwen Chengdu again, and she was so resentful, which was even more surprising.
Tie Rose also pulled out the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword, first hurriedly covered Yuwen Chengdu, and then waved his hand to the red scorpion urgently, and whispered: "Aunt Yu, don't worry!
Red Scorpion Yu glanced at Iron Rose and said, "It's none of your business! We haven't seen each other for four years, and although you have no conscience for me, I am still good with you, and I never thought that I would meet him here. I came to Peking at the risk of sin just to find him, hum!" When he said this, his eyes wept, and his fierce spirit disappeared, and he said, "Don't be afraid! Quickly throw down your sword and go with me, or you will call the officials to come and arrest me." But I tell you first, that even if you arrest me as a ruler and condemn me, I will also say that you are my husband. I have been a robber for six or seven years, and I have given you all the jewels I have robbed."
When Iron Rose heard this, she was shocked. Yuwen Chengdu's face was also pale at this time, and he smiled slightly and said, "Okay! Red Scorpion! I'll just go with you!" At that moment he put down his sword and moved his body, but Iron Rose grabbed him with his hand.
Yuwen Cheng calmly waved his hand and said, "Don't stop me! Now you understand where I came from, and why I don't want to marry you, right?"
He snatched his hand and said to the red scorpion, "Let's go! The red scorpion first put on the black cloak, then slowly put away her sword, and in one hand still held the bamboo barrel of the sleeve arrow, smiled at the iron rose, and said, "I'm sorry, I robbed your lover!"
After speaking, the red scorpion escorted Yuwen Chengdu out of the house.
Iron Rose put the sword into the sheath first, and quickly chased it out, and when she reached the door, she saw that the red scorpion and Yu Wenhua had already gotten into a car and walked east.
Nalai Sheng was stunned at the door, and said to Iron Rose, "What's the matter? Our young master has followed that lady!
Iron Rose whispered, "Hurry up and follow behind, see where their car goes?" Lai Sheng was startled, listened to the order, and hurriedly chased the car east.
At this time, it was already dark all around, and Xiuxia was extremely sad in his heart, and after standing outside the door for a while, he returned to the house, tears rolling down.
I thought sadly in my heart: It turned out that Xiahou Wuji was a man with a red scorpion, but it was a pity that I fell in love with him for many days. Although he has a very good conscience and has not lost himself, how can he quickly forget him as a person? Although he is a thief, he must have been forced by the red scorpion, and he fled to Beijing to change his evil ways, but he was caught by the red scorpion again, how can I save him?...... So he looked forward to coming back and found out where they lived, so that he could try to save them.
It's just that this matter can't be done too urgently, otherwise it will be known by the officials, not only Xiahou Wuji's life will be difficult to protect, but even he and his uncle will also be affected. After waiting for a short time, Laisheng came back, crying with a sad face, and said, "Miss, I can't catch up, the car went into the grinding factory." I was grabbed by a big man I didn't know, and he asked me what I was doing chasing other people's cars? I said I wasn't chasing cars, and he grabbed me and didn't let go. It wasn't until the car was far away that he slapped me and let me go. β
When Iron Rose heard this, she was even more surprised, thinking that there must be a lot of people under the Red Scorpion who had infiltrated the city.
When she came back, she said, "The gate is also closed, it's almost nine o'clock, and you can't go home, Miss! If our young master doesn't come back until Ming'er, then let's think about finding him again!"
Iron Rose nodded, and walked away with a sad face. Here Iron Rose was worried and sad at the same time. Leaning on the red candle and facing the white dragon Yin Feng Sword, thinking about it, she decided to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the grinding factory to investigate, as long as who knows that the red scorpion lives there, she can try to rescue Xiahou Wuji.
After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly heard a man's voice outside the window shouting, "Girl Iron Rose!"
Iron Rose was taken aback again, and then she took the hilt of her sword and stood up, and saw the door open. A stout man came in, dressed in a green cloth coat and a small hat, like a merchant, but with a somewhat familiar face. The man hugged Xiuxia and whispered, "The girl doesn't know me, do you?" I am He Xiaoshi, the son of He Ma in Maple Leaf Village, Aoziyu, and I ......had met the girl when it was snowing heavily earlier."
Ironrose was more and more surprised, and quickly waved his hand to tell him to speak quieter. He moved around and walked a few steps forward, and asked in a low voice, "What is the matter with you coming here?"
He Xiaoshi said: "It was Grandma Jiu who sent me. I have always followed him, I have no other way to eat, and Grandma Nine has long wanted to wash her hands; Xiahou Wuji, that kid heard that he is still a general! He knows how to do martial arts, Grandma Jiu took a fancy to his beautiful character, snatched him to Taihang Mountain and became a relative to him, and agreed to escape together and find a place to hide and live.
I didn't want that kid to be negative, so I ran away with Grandma Nine on my back. Grandma Nine almost turned against the leaders under him for him, and now we fled from Henan to Zhili Province, and we were forced by Wu Tianxi and the officials. Grandma Nine took a few of us into the city yesterday to look for him.
Grandma Jiu's temper You know, as long as she falls in love with someone, she will not give up......"
Iron Rose hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Don't talk nonsense! Is Xiahou Wuji dead now?"
He Xiaoshi smiled and said, "How can Grandma Nine be willing to let him die? At this time, she was in tears and whispered to persuade him! Grandma Jiu sent me to beg the girl not to be sad. She said that she had never forgotten her earlier friendship with the girl, and she didn't want the White Dragon Sword anymore. The girl's uncle killed her husband, but that had nothing to do with the girl.
Today, because the city is closed, she can't leave, and tomorrow she will take Xiahou Wuji out of Beijing. She asked the girl not to make a noise about this matter, and it would be inconvenient for each other to make a statement!"
Iron Rose sneered, and then replied, "Tomorrow are you going to go out of that city gate?" Because Xiahou Wuji has done me well, I want to see him again. β
He Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell the girl honestly, but I don't dare to say it without Grandma Jiu's instructions." Anyway, we must pass by Gaobeidian, and the girl can ride a fast horse there to wait for us, but when we see the face of the ninth grandmother, don't say that I told the girl!"
Iron Rose nodded and said, "Okay!
After He Xiaoshi left, Tie Rose knew that He Xiaoshi was an honest person, thinking that he would not deceive himself, and knew that the red scorpion was a little afraid of him, and what He Shi said just now, he knew that Yuwen Chengdu was really a clean person.
He was just coerced by the red scorpion so much that he couldn't do it, just as he had been robbed to Fangcheng Mountain earlier, so he couldn't help but feel more and more sympathy and pity. After a restless night's sleep, when she got up the next morning, she asked the shopkeeper to prepare a horse for her, and she washed hastily in the room.
At this time, Laisheng came back, still crying and saying with a sad face: "Miss, hasn't our young master come back yet?"
Iron Rose said, "I'll go to him, and you have money to lend me money." β
Lai Sheng said, "There is silver, it is all stored in the cabinet, I will bring it to you!" Iron Rose said, "Ten taels are enough, bring it quickly!" Lai Sheng ran out and brought a dozen taels of silver, and said that the horse was ready.
Iron Rose told him not to make a fuss and not to talk everywhere. She took the silver taels, took the white dragon Yin Feng sword, and went out on the horse.
Iron Rose first inquired briefly about the path to Gaobeidian, and then walked with a whip. I wandered around Qianmen Street and the grinding yard for a long time, but I didn't get anything. Then she went out of the Zhangyi Gate, and walked on the road to Gaobeidian to look back and forth, only to see the endless stream of cars and pedestrians, but there was no suspicious carriage and horse of the red scorpion.
After Lugou Bridge and Changxindian, it was past noon, and the weather in late spring was blowing hot wind everywhere. I found a wild shop, had a lunch, still got on the horse, and walked and watched the horse around. The people on the road seemed to have doubts about her, but Iron Rose ignored them.
Her white horse swayed with dust, her iron sword hit her stirrups, her bare hands raised with silk whips, her sideburns hung down on her soft shoulders, and her handsome eyes swept over the Pingyang Road with Tian He on both sides.
It was evening, and the carriages and horses on the road were thinning, and suddenly she looked back and saw two horses galloping in the distance.
She hastened to rein in her horse, and saw the two horses behind her approaching closer and closer. Xiuxia saw that one of them was He Xiaoshi, and when he looked into the distance, there was a mule cart galloping.
Iron Rose understood that the two horses were opening the way, and when she saw He Xiaoshi, she pretended not to know him, and urged the horses to rush towards the car. When the thief who followed He Xiaoshi saw this scene, he let out a "ahhhhhh
At this time, Iron Rose's horse had stopped the car, she pressed the hilt of her sword with her hand, and shouted to the car: "Aunt Yujiu, I want to meet Xiahou Wuji!"
The man jumped out of the rut and drew a white blade from his waist. He Xiaoshi and the thief also turned their horses and rushed back, showing their knives one by one.
Suddenly, she was picked open by the sword from the curtain of the car, revealing half of the red scorpion, her head full of gold jewelry, thick rouge on her cheeks, and wearing a red satin embroidered dress, really like a new daughter-in-law of eighteen or nineteen years old. Na Yuwen Chengdu sat behind her, also dressed widely.
The red scorpion held a sword in one hand and a sleeve arrow in the other, smiled at Tie Rose, and said, "Tie Sister, are you here to see us off? Or are you reluctant to Xiahou Wuji? I also saw the scene yesterday, no wonder he was negative with me, it turned out that he made you fascinated." Now things are easy to do, you also go back to Aoziyu with us, we are sisters, together, he is the two of us. No matter how big or small, we will never make a mistake!"
Iron Rose said: "Hmph, Shen Zhilan, you are really shameless, you robbed me of a weak girl at the beginning, and now you have robbed a good person again!"
The red scorpion also changed color immediately, but still sneered, and said, "Yo! The people I didn't want to kill earlier, now they are against me! What amazing martial arts have you learned from the South China Sea Shenni in the past four years? Can your White Dragon Yin Wind Sword scare me? Hehe......
As she spoke, she untied her skirt, and when she untied her skirt, suddenly she suddenly released four arrows in a row, but they were all caught by Iron Rose's slender hand.
The red scorpion threw off the red dress, wore only white satin clothes and white silk pants, got out of the car, stood under the wheel, slashed at Xiuxia with his sword, and scolded: "Little prostitute with no conscience and no shame, you dare to block the road to fight for my man?"
Iron Rose's White Dragon Wind Sword has been drawn, and it is about to sharpen the sword of the Red Scorpion. The red scorpion's sword hurriedly dodged, but at this time, Yuwen Chengdu also got out of the car, and pushed her legs from behind, and the red scorpion's body fell under the car.
Iron Rose's sword had been raised, and just as he was about to descend, the two thieves beside him slashed their swords together.
Iron Rose hurriedly turned around with a sword, and with a few swords, he cut off the thief's blade. The red scorpion had already stood up at this time, and suddenly struck several more hidden arrows, several of which were caught by the Iron Rose, and all three were nailed to the white horse's body.
Iron Rose also jumped off the horse, the red scorpion glared and gritted its teeth, and forced it with its sword, and Iron Rose danced its sword to meet it.
So on this ancient road at dusk, with delicate hands and a red-clothed sword, a fierce battle began. Xiuxia and the red scorpion fought with their swords, only to see two cold lights flying "fluttering", and two delicate and colorful phoenix-like slender bodies, like turning and moving, flashing left and right.
At this time, the blue sky, dyed with rouge-like sunset, shone obliquely on them. The red scorpion knew that Xiuxia's sword was extremely sharp, and he didn't dare to touch it with his own blade.
Iron Rose is always on guard against each other's hidden weapons, although the two of them are careful, but they don't give in. The charioteer and the thief snatched their horses and ran eastward. He Shishi tossed the horse aside, and he shouted loudly, "Ninth Grandma, let's go quickly!"
Yu Wencheng was standing in the car, and he also shouted loudly: "Rose, go away! There are many people coming behind them!"
But Iron Rose twisted her sword and stabbed at the red scorpion, and said fiercely, "Today I will kill you female robber!"
The red scorpion dodged away, returned to the sword, and said, "I can't ask you to marry that man even if I give up my life!"
Iron Rose scolded: "Shameless!"
The red scorpion scolded: "No conscience!"
Xiuxia scolded: "Robber wife!"
The red scorpion scolded: "Little ****!"
The cold light of "fluttering" became more and more urgent with the gritted teeth and the scolding. Over there, Yuwen Chengdu jumped on He Shishi's horse from the car, and violently snatched his steel knife, He Xiaoshi scolded and said, "Boy, don't recognize the wrong person!"
Yuwen Chengdu ran towards the Iron Rose and the Red Scorpion with a knife.
At this time, I heard a "choking" sound, it turned out that the sword in the hand of the red scorpion had been cut off by the white dragon Yinfeng sword, and the red scorpion counterattacked Yuwen Chengdu to snatch his knife.
Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, why should we fight for our lives?
At this time, Tie Rose also came over, holding a sword in one hand and the arm of the red scorpion in the other, and said, "Aunt Yu Jiu, the two of us were good back then, and we shouldn't turn our faces today!"
The red scorpion spat and said, "Shameless!" Iron Rose took a step back, also angry.
He Xiaoshi said on the side: "Grandma Nine! We have been traveling from south to north for more than ten years, and we can't cut anything and throw it away? Even if we throw away our son, the world will be the only one less Xiahou Wuji? Grandma Jiu, if you are generous, let them be husband and wife!"
The red scorpion listened to He Xiaoshi's persuasion and couldn't stop crying. She was so sad that she cried so much that her legs were weak, so she sat on the ground with a "coo", still covering her face with a handkerchief and crying bitterly, crying so much that she was really hoarse.
Yuwen Chengdu squatted down and persuaded her: "You don't have to be so sad, calm down, listen to what I said!"
Yuwen Chengdu said to the red scorpion with emotion: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, you should only blame you for being too careless and making too much of a name for yourself over the years." Although you would rather marry me, and prefer to hide at home and never leave the house, sooner or later you will be discovered. Once you commit a crime, it doesn't matter if you are involved or not, but if you are captured by the palace people in the future, I can't rescue you, and it's too pitiful for you to die. So I think at this time, you might as well go to a secluded place and hide for five or six years, when the officers and soldiers will no longer arrest you, and the people of the world will gradually forget about you, and we will meet again!"
When the red scorpion heard this, he held back his tears, but he couldn't stop sneering. At this time, the Iron Rose came over again to speak to the red scorpion, but heard a chaotic sound of hooves, and a dozen horses came running from the east.
Yuwen Chengdu was shocked, pulled the red scorpion and said, "Let's go talk elsewhere." Your men are coming, and if they see you, they will think that you have been insulted, and they will come up and fight us."
Iron Rose turned around, holding the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword in her hand and wanted to rush over to fight the thieves.
The red scorpion stood up, grabbed the Iron Rose, and said, "What are you doing? Do you still want to show your talents? Can you really kill all my men with your White Dragon Wind Sword?"
She ran a few paces to the east, and whistled three times, and the horses on that side were running very fast, when they suddenly heard the whistle, and they all restrained the horses, and no one dared to take a step further.
Here the red scorpion came back to her, she gasped twice, wiped away her tears, and said to Yuwen Chengdu and Tie Rose, "Go away! After you become relatives in the future, you must think about it, there is a red scorpion in the rivers and lakes, although she is a female thief, but she treats the two of you well!"
Iron Rose took another step closer and said, "Aunt Jiu, if you encounter anything difficult in the future, as long as we know, we will help you with everything!"
The red scorpion sneered slightly, and said, "Forget it, no matter how far I go, I will never ask you." I just hope you are well!" After saying that, the red scorpion gently moved Lianbu into the car and asked He Xiaoshi to drive her away.
The car caught up with the horses on the other side and turned off the road.
When he was young, the chariots and horses passed away, and the sky was full of stars and moons, leaving only Yuwen Chengdu and Iron Rose here.
Iron Rose went to the side and took her horse, put away the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword, and said to Yuwen Chengdu, "What are you going to do now?"
Yuwen Chengdu was stunned and speechless for a while. Iron Rose couldn't help but be a little anxious, and stamped her foot and said, "Where the hell do you live? What friends do you have elsewhere? I can send you away, and you will hide there for the time being." Then, after avenging my father's murder, I will go to you, and then ......" At this point, Iron Rose's words also stopped.
Yuwen Chengdu sighed and said, "I'm not a robber, why should I hide it? Miss Chen, you treat me so well, I really can't help but tell you the truth." When we first met in Henan, I loved you at that time, and I vowed not to marry at that time, but ...... To tell you the truth, I am not surnamed Xiahou or Wuji. My original name was Yuwen Chengdu, and my family lived in Liulitun, Jingdong. My father's name is Yuwen...... Debao, with a few pieces of jade. He was a bit crazy, and my mother was a big smoker and had a bad temper. Therefore, I am afraid that you will be wronged when you come to my house. So, yesterday your uncle said those words to me, and I didn't dare to answer them!"
But Tie Rose said, "What is that? Isn't it good that my daughter's family is out of the pavilion, and she can still find fault with her in-laws? Red Scorpion is a robber, she is still willing to be a daughter-in-law and never leave the house, and my parents also taught me to observe etiquette when they were alive." β
Yuwen Chengdu sighed again and said, "I know that you are so good to me, but I think I am really sorry for you! You go and see, and if you see that my house is still alive, then we will go to my uncle and get married. If you see that my house is really bad, then do it!"
Iron Rose smiled and said, "Even yesterday and today, I haven't been home for two days, and when I see my uncle, I have nothing to say. In that case, I will go home with you. When I met the old man, if the old man also looked good, he asked the old man to send me to see my uncle and propose by the way. My uncle must have liked it too, so that's done. As for revenge for my father, I'll talk about that later.
Since the old man is in the jade shop, he must have often traded in various places, and he must have many friends who have met him abroad, and in the future, I will ask him to give me an interview with the evil thief Yu culture and his whereabouts!"
When Iron Rose said this, she was in a very happy mood.
Yuwen Chengdu was so moved and ashamed that his tears almost fell. As they spoke, they went east.
Iron Rose is riding on a horse, Yuwen Chengdu is walking, Yuwen Chengdu is very heavy in his heart, so it is like two big stones falling under his feet, walking very slowly.
Iron Rose was happy, and the horse under the seat also raised its head and hung up its hooves from time to time, and wanted to run forward, but Iron Rose tightly buckled the reins, and she asked Yuwen Chengdu, "Don't you feel tired when you walk?
Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and said, "No, I can walk a lot." β
Iron Rose smiled again on the horse, and asked, "Where did the Red Scorpion take you away last night, and where did she put you?"
Yuwen Chengdu said: "She took me to a shop, and the shop was full of her men. She is so bold that she claims to be the lady of a certain town. She took me there very secretly, and did not even say a word out loud, but quietly rebuked me and told me to go with her. Indeed, if you don't come to save me today, I will be willing to go with her. Because I think she's a good person, and although she's a robber, she's quite kind. β
Iron Rose was immediately displeased, and said, "Then I will give you horses, and you will chase them, and you can catch up with her, and you can go with them!
Yuwen Chengdu smiled, and hurriedly braided and explained: "I'm not praising her, you have been with her for a long time earlier, you must know her." She was a wretched person for what she had done, and she had done more than enough to kill!
"I'm colder than she is!" said Iron Rose, "and she doesn't have to look for enemies everywhere!"
Yuwen Chengdu sighed and stopped talking. He walked with the horse, and the horse's hooves knocked on the earth, and there was a thin moonlight underneath, but there was no one around. After walking for a long time, Xiuxia spoke again and asked, "Didn't you ask the red scorpion?
As soon as Yuwen Chengdu heard this, his heart tightened again, so he shook his head and replied slowly: "I asked, and she said no!"
After going down a few more steps, suddenly Iron Rose pointed forward with her whip and said happily, "Look! there's a light over there." β
Yuwen Chengdu also looked forward, and saw a few rare lights in the east, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "There must be a shop over there, let's go there and stay there." β
So Yuwen Chengdu also quickened his walk, and Iron Rose's horse followed closely, and he went to the town to find an inn. One night, the faint light of the stars and moon shone on this small town, and there were dim lights and chatters in the shophouses.
The next day, the rooster crowed on the rack, and the store hired a car. The iron rose with black sideburns carried the white dragon Yinfeng sword into the car, and when she put down the curtain, she also smiled at Yuwen Chengdu.
Yuwen Chengdu also frowned at this time, stepped on the horse, and walked with the car with a whip. And the car often made a coquettish voice and shouted outward: "Chengdu! Chengdu ......" Yuwen Chengdu talked to the car with the window of the green gauze on the horse, and smiled.
The spring breeze blew in gusts, and the smoke and dust swayed one after another, and the chariots and horses bypassed the Yongding Gate and then went northeast. The magnificent city wall of Beijing gradually passed away, the carriages and horses walked from the avenue into the winding path, on both sides were very high fields, the dogs in the village pounced out and chased the carriages and horses barking, Yuwen Chengdu chased the dogs with a whip, and said: "Boom! Xiuxia opened the car window and looked out, and Yuwen Chengdu also smiled.
The carriage kept walking forward, and suddenly heard someone in front of him shouting, "Young master!"
Yuwen Chengdu saw that he was coming to Sheng with another servant. Looking like that, Lai Sheng went home to report the truth about Yuwen Chengdu's disappearance, and now he went into the city with another servant to find a way.
Yuwen Chengdu first glanced at him, urged the horse to catch up, and asked quietly, "Is the master at home?"
Lai Sheng also replied quietly: "At home, you asked the lady to take it away, and Miss Tie rode a horse to find you, and I didn't dare to tell the master." Because the old man heard that Yun Zhanfeng was mentioned, he trembled all over his body and wanted to lose his breath. It's just that my wife knew, and my wife was very anxious, so she personally went into the city yesterday and asked the people on the counter to find a way. I probably lived in Xu's shopkeeper's house, and we haven't come back yet, so we just want to go into the city to meet my wife. β
Yuwen Chengdu said: "You don't have to go, you go home quickly." Hide the sword in the study and tell the master, I will bring back a Miss Qin. Qin, not Chen, make it clear, I will marry this young lady in a few days. Go, go, tell the lord to cheer up and receive people, go quickly, go first. Laisheng and the servant Qi all glared, but they didn't dare to ask more. Turning around and running, here Yuwen Chengdu pressed the horse to the car, turned around and smiled into the car, and deliberately walked slowly.
