Chapter 5: Behind the Glamour (Part II)

When Luo Tianchu came out of the restaurant full of wine and food, it was already Shen Shi, and the banquet was not over, but his entertainment had been completed, and he received 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and the rest was handed over to Cui Xing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Just now more than 20 rich businessmen took turns to persuade wine, after all, they received money from others, so they had to give others some face, and ate all according to the order, and now they have eaten four catties of liquor, and they are seventy percent drunk, but they don't want to use internal force to force out the wine, and they feel dizzy and feel very good, and there are not so many worries.

Luo Tianchu walked straight to the city gate, because it was not early, the soldiers were about to close the city gate, seeing him hurriedly salute, Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "You close the door, don't worry about me." Then he went out of the city gate, and went east along the avenue, and after three miles he entered the woods, and walked in the woods for a while, and the terrain rose higher and higher, and in a while the trees were loose, and further on there were cliffs. At this time, it was already dark, and I couldn't see how deep the cliff was, as if it was bottomless.

He stopped at the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind was cold, blowing away the wine, and watching the last red clouds in the sky gradually fade. The gray sky rose a round of gray moon that had not yet shone brightly, and there was silence all around, which gave birth to a sense of sadness in the heart, and the laughter at the banquet just now seemed to be like a world away, only here he could take off his mask, no need to disguise, and be his true self.

I don't know when I shed tears, try to ask who is not afraid of death, even Emperor Qin and Han Wu are also trying to find ways to live forever, Luo Tianchu is in the best stage of his life, there are a lot of wishes to be completed, he never wants to die with unfulfilled wishes, but to complete the great cause that others may not be able to complete in a lifetime in a limited time, he has no confidence in whether he can capture Luoyang, and he does not know when his life will end suddenly, so he is anxious, eager to immediately lead the army to attack Luoyang, the fear of gains and losses makes him almost crazy, plus emotional setbacks, he only needs to take another step forward to be a hundred, all of them are cleanBut what should others say about him afterwards? Coward? Coward? He is a man, and men should be responsible in the world, and men in high positions and powers have heavier responsibilities, but the real happiness is the ordinary people who envy these people, who have their own hardships, and no one understands anyone.

Luo Tianchu didn't take this step in the end, but he couldn't vent the breath in his chest, and suddenly pulled out the blood divine knife, the red light was great, the knife qi was vertical and horizontal, the fallen leaves on the ground were blown wildly, and the branches in the distance were also blown by the knife wind, and the yellow leaves were scattered all over the sky. Unconsciously, he had danced the knife into the devil, cut the palm of the knife, his hair and eyes turned blood-red, just as night fell, the bright moon hung high, he danced the knife to the moon, the bright red knife light enveloped his body, making his blood-red eyes look more ferocious and terrifying, as if a demon descended to earth.

Just as he was going crazy, he suddenly heard a girl's scream from among the trees, and his first reaction was not to see who the person was, but to kill her. His body rushed straight out, with a red light rushed towards the man, the dark forest was illuminated by the light of the knife, when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he suddenly shook his whole body, instantly regained his clarity, hurriedly retracted the knife, and his hair and eyes returned to normal color. The girl was Ling Zhi'er, who was knocked out by the force he rushed and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

Luo Tianchu was stunned with fright, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he was so remorseful in his heart that he hurriedly dropped the Blood God Knife and nervously rushed over to pick her up. Fortunately, he restrained the knife qi in time, Ling Zhi'er was just knocked down by the qi wind brought up, fainted, and was not injured, Luo Tianchu let out a sigh, and his heart was in danger. He injected his true qi into Ling Zhi'er's body, Ling Zhi'er's delicate body trembled, opened her eyes, and saw that it was him who was so frightened that she hurriedly broke free of her arms and retreated, and said in horror: "I'm Ling Zhi'er, you... Don't kill me. ”

Luo Tianchu felt guilty in his heart, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I practiced the fork just now, you weren't injured, don't you need to see the doctor." Ling Zhi'er calmed down and said, "You forgot that I am a doctor." Luo Tianchu said: "Oh, yes, I was really scared just now, what if you have three long and two short for me." Ling Zhi'er's eyes flashed, and said, "Are you really so nervous about me?" Luo Tianchu said: "Of course, you are my good friend, by the way, what are you doing in the wilderness so late?"

Ling Zhi'er sat up straight, patted the dust on her body, and said with a turn of her eyes: "Come and collect medicine, there are two kinds of medicine in Gongsun Junshi's new prescription, so I'll come out and find it." What about you, what are you doing here?" Luo Tianchu said: "I came here to practice, and that martial arts is too dangerous, and it is easy to hurt people, so I hid here to practice." What are the two herbs that are missing, I will send someone to find them when I go back. Ling Zhi'er snorted and said, "You don't know, I have already asked people to look for it, but I was anxious and came out to see it myself." Luo Tianchu said: "It's really good that the military advisor has you and Brother Hu to take care of you, I'll send you back to the city, it's not safe for you to walk alone at night." ”

Ling Zhi'er said: "Don't worry, I haven't had a chance to talk to you since I came to Chang'an, but do you have time?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "As long as you can forgive me for being reckless just now, you can say as long as you want, just don't talk about medicine, I don't understand anything." Ling Zhi'er smiled: "Of course you can understand it, do you know that I was scared when I first saw you kill someone, but when you talked to me, you were very kind, not like a bad person, so my father and I came to Chang'an to join you." Luo Tianchu said: "Those Qi soldiers are rude to the girl, and they are innocent of death, maybe the girl thinks that I am too heavy, but soldiers like them who bully people in the world will only harm the people, I may be able to save more than a dozen people by killing one person, so I will kill the killer." Ling Linzhi'er said: "So you are more powerful than the doctor, and you have saved more than a dozen people with a single effort." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "Don't dare to be, once you succeed, there will be more people who die on the battlefield, and their death is to protect more people from dying, so their deaths are great." In some cases, there is life and there is life, and there is life and death, just like the soldiers who died in battle to protect the people from death, and the soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death escape but let the people suffer from the enemy's meat, both soldiers and people are the same life, have the right to live, life and death, who is right and who is wrong, and who makes it clear. By the way, didn't you and your father want to open a medical center in Chang'an, and now that you have it?"

Ling Zhi'er chewed his last few words carefully, and only after listening to his inquiry did he ask: "My father has left Chang'an and returned to his hometown in the countryside." Luo Tianchuqi said: "Isn't Chang'an good? Why do you want to go?" Ling Zhi'er said: "It's not bad, it's just that my father is used to the peaceful life in the countryside and can't stand the noise in the city before leaving." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Then why didn't Miss Ling go back with Ling Zun?" Ling Zhi'er glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said, "Saving people must have a beginning and an end, how can I leave if Gongsun Junshi's illness is not cured yet." Luo Tianchu said: "The girl's medical ethics are admirable, but even if she is cured, it is best for the girl to stay." Lin Zhi'er's eyes flashed and said, "Why do you want me to stay?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "Now there is a shortage of doctors in the city, and it is not a pity that the girl has such good medical skills." Ling Zhi'er smiled lightly and was speechless. Luo Tianchu said: "I know that the girl does not have a stable livelihood in the city, and I will vacate a medical hall for the girl to practice medicine as soon as possible." Ling Zhi'er said: "Thank you for the kindness of the castle lord, but my father has returned to the countryside, and it is inconvenient for me to show up for a doctor." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, wouldn't it be good to ask Brother Hu Bai for help, as far as I know, Brother Hu Bai has not yet married, the girl has not yet married, and the two have the same hobbies, as long as the girl nods, I will keep it and let Hu Bai marry you." Ling Zhi'er panicked and said, "How can this work, if you want to marry, you will be married." ”

Luo Tianchu was stunned, and said in amazement: "What?" Ling Zhi'er knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly blushed and remedied: "The castle lord is a young hero in Chang'an City, and whoever doesn't love any girl who hasn't married yet, I'm just one of the admirers." Luo Tianchu was so transparent, he had already sensed that she was trying to cover up, thinking that she came to Chang'an mostly for herself, and staying in Chang'an was the same, maybe she didn't come here to pick any herbs at all, but followed herself, seeing her embarrassed appearance and busy relieving her, she smiled: "Imagination is beautiful, in fact, it is far from as good as they think." Ling Zhi'er hurriedly changed her words and said, "Miss Ling and Brother Gu went to look for you together, why didn't she come back?" Luo Tianchu sighed and said in silence: "She may not come back." Ling Zhi'er was surprised: "Why? Did you quarrel?" Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Sort of." Ling Zhi'er was puzzled: "Sister Xue'er likes you so much, and she is beautiful, why don't you like her?" Luo Tianchu was sad and shook his head silently.

Ling Zhi'er's pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she said word for word: "Actually, I like you too." Ling Tianchu glanced at her meaningfully, sighed, and did not speak. Lin Zhi'er plucked up her courage and said: "I'm not as beautiful as Sister Xue'er, and I never expected you to like me, but I still have to say it, this sentence has been held in my heart for too long, and now it's much better to say it, you... You won't be angry, will you? Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "How can I be angry, I just like many kinds, as long as it is not the kind of ********, I can accept it." Ling Zhi'er bit her lip and said, "I just like to see you and want to play with you, even if it's just eating, walking, and sitting quietly, I'm already very happy, and I've never thought about anything else." Luo Tianchu laughed and said: "Then it's easy to say, let's have lunch together tomorrow, if you are free, I can take you to the mountains to hunt, by the way, can I help you collect medicine?" Ling Zhi'er was overjoyed: "Really! I haven't been in the mountains for a long time, but you are so busy, do you really have time to accompany me?" Luo Tianchu patted his chest and said: "Of course, but now we are going back to the city, and they will come out to find us if it is too late." (To be continued.) )
