Chapter 3: Breeze and Bright Moon Wine Beauty
Tonight, the moonlight is white, standing under the eaves of the "Spring Warm Pavilion" overlooking the Luoyan City, in a silent vastness, the lights of ten thousand homes are flickering, bright like a galaxy; the street market of the dragon and the phoenix is criss-crossed, constituting the maze-like mystery and intriguing profundity of the Luoyan City; the momentum of the sparse outline, the vast tranquility, the heart's mind, the heart is relaxed. If you have a good glass of wine and a lover with you, what a wonderful realm it will be to taste life in such a wonderful night!
Bai Xue is worthy of being a woman with feelings, her attic not only has a melodious guqin solo and a beautiful singing voice, but also a quiet moonlight, a soft breeze, and fragrant wine tonight. Her voice is graceful and clear, as if to summon a lover, and her singing voice is gentle and lingering, enough to melt the ice of the mountains and soften the heart of a man as strong as steel.
At this moment, she was waiting—waiting for Wu Shuang's arrival.
Of course, the elegant man will not live up to the sound of the girl's piano, and will not live up to the pure moonlight and the infinitely soft evening breeze - especially on such a beautiful night, so Wu Shuang came.
Tonight he was still dressed in a crisp white robe, and he looked particularly refreshed in the moonlight. He walked up to Bai Xue freely and watched her play with a smile of praise and appreciation, so the sound of the piano became more melodious, tactful, lingering and mesmerizing.
At the end of the song, Bai Xue got up slowly, she smiled, looked at Wu Shuang's eyes and said, "Please sit down! There will be a duel tomorrow, how can you still be willing to come." Her charming smile seemed more intoxicating than the sound of the piano.
"I thought you only thought about your duel, and you won't come again!" she said again as Wu Shuang sat down.
Wu Shuang said: "Mingyue, Qingfeng, Beauty and Miaoyin, if he can still refuse, he can't be considered a real man." ”
Bai Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You are not only a swordsman Wu Shuang, but your charm is also Wu Shuang's in the world." No wonder people say that 'there is no peer among the Wu and the sword', and this sentence is true. ”
"When it's true," Wu Shuang said with a smile, "who knows!"
"The Tao is ruthless but affectionate," Bai Xue also said with a smile, "only the heart knows." ”
"Then we won't drink yet!" Wu Shuang said, holding the wine glass and handing it to her.
Bai Xue took the wine glass and said, "Aren't you afraid that this wine is poisonous?"
"I'll drink it if it's poisonous. Wu Shuang said and tilted his head back. When the cup was dropped, he said, "This wine is good, it is so fragrant." No wonder the wine in the inn is not pure, it turns out that the essence is given to the boss except for the private room. ”
Bai Xue giggled, but a trace of sadness passed over her face, and she said, "Since it's good wine, you should drink a few more glasses." As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Wu Shuang. Wu Shuang didn't shirk, and after another drink, he said: "Boss Bai will definitely not just ask me to drink, you must have a lot to say to me." ”
"Yes. Bai Xue said, a string of crystal tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes, "Since you came to Songshan Manor, Songshan Manor has changed, and my mood has also changed!"
"If I'm not mistaken, are you missing Wang Million?" Mr. Wu said.
Bai Xue did not answer his question, but asked him instead: "Wang Million is really your uncle?"
Wu Shuang walked to the guqin, plucked the strings at will, and said: "There is no such idiot in the world who recognizes someone else as an uncle for no reason, and all this is because of a grievance twenty years ago. ”
"Of course I wouldn't have known about what happened twenty years ago. Bai Xue said, "However, five years ago, he gave me the dignity of being a human being. She drank the wine in her glass with tears in her eyes, and then said, "Although he treats me as a plaything, after all, he has given me, a woman who is floating in the red dust, an ordinary way of life." ”
"So, you're grateful to him!" Wu Shuang said.
"Yes. ”
"That's why your mood is very painful!" Wu Shuang said again.
"How do you know?" asked Bai Xue.
"Of course I do. Wu Shuang said, "Because you are reluctant to let me die, however, if I don't die, you will live up to Wang Million's expectations." ”
Bai Xue didn't speak—speechlessness wasn't an answer!
Her eyes began to glisten with tears of sorrow. After a while, she said: "I always thought that a woman like me has no soul and was born to be a stunner at the mercy of men. Ever since I met you, I've realized how blessed it is to be respected...... I always thought that a woman like me would not really like a man. However, when I met you, I realized that my idea was wrong. ”
Wu Shuang looked at her and said with a solemn expression: "Bai Xue, the night is so beautiful tonight, shouldn't we talk less and drink more?" he raised his glass and invited her to drink together. At this moment, a desolate cry of a nightingale was heard in the distance, adding a touch of desolation to the beautiful night.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, and Bai Xue asked, "Who are you?"
The person who came was not tall, and he couldn't see her face with his head down all the time, so he couldn't tell her age and appearance. She held a plate of food in her hand, walked in, and said, "Serve the food." ”
"I didn't call for food delivery. Bai Xue said.
"Then he is a dangerous person...... Wu Shuang remembered something from the tone of the visitor, and also remembered the terrible old woman, and before he could finish his words, the man suddenly threw the plate in his hand forward, and suddenly counted the starlight and flew towards the two of them. Such a short distance, such a sudden thing, how can ordinary people deal with it!
Fortunately, Wu Shuang is not an ordinary person, he is the number one swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is not used to seeing such a scene! At that moment, Wu Shuang lifted the tablecloth in front of him, and all the hidden weapons that flew in his hand were swept into the burden by the tablecloth in his hand. At the same time, he kicked out, knocking the table over the opponent's front door.
At this time, Bai Xue saw clearly that the person who came was a gray-haired old woman.
The man swept backwards, like a dexterous cat, and jumped onto the windowsill, and giggled, "You're lucky this time, and there will be a time later!"
Frightened, Bai Xue asked Wu Shuang, "Who is this person, and why did she kill us?"
Wu Shuang shook off the things wrapped in the tablecloth, only to see dozens of silver-white plum blossom needles shaking to the ground.
He said solemnly: "I only met this person yesterday afternoon. Twenty years ago, there was a person who also used this kind of secret weapon, her name was Cao Feng, known as the 'Plum Blossom Lady', and she was the notorious 'Crow Gang' protector on the rivers and lakes at that time...... If this person is Cao Feng, and we were unfortunately injured by her secret weapon just now, then we must be two dead bodies lying on the ground now. ”
Bai Xue was horrified when she heard this, and she said, "I have no grievances with her, why should she harm me?"
"All the bad guys, everything they do, is for their own selfish gain. Wu Shuang said, "Perhaps, our existence threatens her interests." ”
"Then what should I do?" asked Bai Xue in panic.
Wu Shuang said: "This is really difficult to do!"
Bai Xue suddenly said, "Yes, only you, and only you can protect me." ”
Seeing her panicked appearance, Wu Shuang said again: "It's okay for me to protect, but you must listen to me." ”
"As long as I am safe, of course I am willing to listen to you!" Bai Xue said, looking at Wu Shuang with expectant eyes......
After Wu Shuang left, Bai Xue slapped three times.
So, the door of the side room creaked open.
I saw a man come out of it.
