Chapter 8: Taoyuan sacrifices one's life for one's heart, and travels for good reasons

Li Qintiao was taken aback in his heart, recalling yesterday's fight in the bamboo forest. Li Qin thought to himself.

Worried about Zhang Yuyan's safety, Li Qin rushed out of the door and ran downstairs to ask the shopkeeper about yesterday's situation.

"Shopkeeper, did anyone look for us yesterday?" Li Qin asked.

"Yes, the group said they were your friends, come. "The shopkeeper is confused.

"So shopkeeper, how do you get to the peach garden?" Li Qin continued to ask.

"Oh, peach garden, according to this five miles, go out and walk along the path to the west, and see a peach blossom where it is. The shopkeeper said.

"Thank you, farewell. Saying that, Li Qin rushed out.

The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Li Qin was in a hurry, he didn't ask much.

While running, Li Qin blamed himself for not protecting Zhang Yuyan. After a while, he ran into a peach garden.

This should be the place. Li Qin thought to himself.

The peach orchard is full of colorful flowers and dark fragrance. But Li Qin was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and as soon as he entered the peach garden, he looked for Zhang Yuyan everywhere.

"Boy, it's a man! How dare you come!Hahahaha!" said the group, escorting Zhang Yuyan from a distance.

I saw that Zhang Yuyan was tied with her hands tied and her mouth was plugged, because it was too late yesterday Li Qin didn't have time to get the medicine, so her feet were still limping. Li Qinyi suddenly wanted to be pricked by a needle.

"Acquaintance, let her go! I can spare your life!" Li Qin said sharply.

"If you want us to let her go, do you have to do it! Brothers!" The one who takes the lead stands aside

Li Qin drew his sword and threw the scabbard aside, his eyebrows revealing a little disdain.

When the group of people on the opposite side was about to walk to his side, they saw that his sword suddenly shifted, and with the speed of stealing the bell, the blade of the sword fell in front of them like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Suddenly, the swords of the group were all bounced out. Then I saw Li Qin kick his leg to the ground, and then the ground force jumped up, stretched out his leg and kicked several people to the ground, and Li Qin fell to the ground smoothly. Li Qin's expression was still wide-eyed, letting the wind blow the flowers and float all over his shoulders, and the green silk wind was fluttering.

Several people who were kicked to the ground hurriedly picked up their swords, and you, I, didn't dare to act rashly. Just circled around Li Qin.

Suddenly, a person suddenly stabbed at Li Qin with a sword from behind, Li Qin's eyes flashed, one moved sideways, dodged the blade of the sword, and then took a forward step, came to the man's side, and slapped the man's chest, and the man was shocked more than a foot away.

Several other people were frightened, and the eldest brother who took the lead at this time was also frightened. hurriedly took out a knife holder and put it on Zhang Yuyan's neck.

"Boy, if you move again, I'll kill her. As he spoke, he pressed the knife tightly against Zhang Yuyan's neck.

"You have the ability to let her go, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, but they talk about a woman, aren't you afraid that it will be spread out to make people laugh and be generous?" Li Qin said with a sneer.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't put down your sword, just wait to collect her body!" Talking about getting ready to go.

This is Zhang Yuyan signaling Li Qin to leave her alone. But how did Zhang Yuyan know that Li Qin had already made herself more important. Love is so strange, the right time meets the wrong person, and the wrong person makes us do all the things we think is right.

"Don't, I'll put it down, don't hurt her. Li Qin pleaded, and tossed his sword aside.

"Brothers, call me. A group of people swarmed up and punched and kicked Li Qin.

After a while, Li Qin was covered in blood. Zhang Yuyan struggled helplessly on the side, tears filling her eyes. But it's so powerless.

Finally, after a beating, the man who took the lead called a halt.

"Okay brothers, stop fighting, you won't be able to deal with it when you die.

Everyone stopped, and at this time Li Qin sat down on the ground.

This is the eldest brother who took the lead and walked in front of Li Qin.

"Boy, if you knew this was the case, you might as well be caught. The eldest brother said with a sneer.

"Who the hell are you, and why can't you get along with us again and again? Li Qin said breathlessly.

"Boy, don't blame us, each for its own master, we can't help it. Don't worry, as long as it's obedient, it's okay. The big brother who took the lead said.

"Who is your master?" Li Qin continued to ask.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, you'll know. Brethren, tie up. The big brother who took the lead said.

Seeing that Li Qin was knocked to the ground, everyone relaxed their vigilance. Li Qin opened his red and swollen eyes slightly, looked around, and thought to himself, the time has come.

I saw Li Qin jump up, and when everyone didn't react, Li Qin had already come to Zhang Yuyan's side, and Li Qin slapped the two people who escorted Zhang Yuyan. Then he turned around and kicked over the big brother who was taking the lead.

When everyone saw this, they were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

Because Li Qin had just been beaten and was covered with injuries, he had no strength to chase after him.

Li Qin turned around and hurriedly untied the rope for Zhang Yuyan, took off the plug cloth on his mouth, and asked distressedly.

"Are you alright? Does your foot still hurt?"

At this time, Zhang Yuyan was injured Li Qin, and her tears once again filled the tear frame. Yes, a man has saved his life several times, and because he was beaten all over his body, how can it not be moving.

"I'm fine, does your wound hurt?" Zhang Yuyan's affectionate Qin.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Come, I'll carry you to the doctor. Li Qin said as he bent down and prepared to recite the badge to Yuyan.

"It's okay, I can walk slowly. Zhang Yuyan said distressedly.

"Come on, you can't walk on your feet, otherwise how can I explain to my eldest brother if it's serious?" Li Qin barely showed a light smile.

Zhang Yuyan had no choice but to let Li Qin carry her back again.

The two didn't say anything on the way, Zhang Yuyan thought about everything Li Qin had done for herself along the way, and then gradually put her cheek on Li Qin's shoulder.

It is said that Duan Tian left King Li's mansion that time, and in order to support himself in Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination, he set up a calligraphy and painting stall on the streets of Kyoto. Although the business is not good, it can barely support itself.

On this day, the wind was beautiful, and Duan Tian set up a stall as usual.

At this time, a scholar in a green shirt with a folding fan in his hand passed by, and suddenly he stopped, and then walked slowly to Duan Tian's painting stall.

"Under the red pavilion of the umbrella, the rain is deep and the boat is far away. On the new lotus in Dongting, the wind pulls the pearl and jade curtains. Jingmeng Academy, the ink fragrance is scattered. The fame is paid yesterday, and the year is enlightened. "Memories of Dongting Lake" is good, it is good to draw good poems! Scholar, is this calligraphy and painting made by you?" The man asked, surprised.

"No, it's exactly what Xiaosheng did. Duan Tian replied with a bow.

"What's your name?" The man continued,

"Xiaosheng Duan Tian is a scholar who came to Beijing to catch the exam. Unexpectedly, the money was robbed on the way, so he had no choice but to set up a stall to paint and earn a bite to eat. Duan Tian sighed as he spoke.

"I want all your paintings. The man said.

"This, this, hey, I don't know the name of Brother Taizun, I'll help you send it to the house. Duan Tian asked excitedly and in surprise.

"The surname of the contemptible person is Li, and the single name is a 'expensive' word. It's the housekeeper of King Li's mansion, I just saw that you are brilliant, and you are by no means comparable to ordinary Confucian scholars, why don't you come to our palace to be a guest, and I will help you be a lobbyist. Li Gui said.

When Duan Tian heard that it was Li Wangfu, he was very excited, because it was Li Wangfu's daughter Li Shishi who saved him last time. Duan Tian had always wanted to find a chance to meet the county lord again, and this time the opportunity came.

"Thank you, Steward Li, Xiaosheng can't ask for it. As he spoke, he followed Li Gui towards King Li's mansion.

When he arrived at the palace, Steward Li came to find Prince Li with Duan Tian's calligraphy and paintings. In a blink of an eye, I came to the outside of Prince Li's study.

"Master, the villain Li Gui asks to see you!" Li Gui shouted outside the door.

"Come in. I saw a calm and powerful voice coming from inside.

Li Gui gently pushed the door open. Then he and Duan Tian walked in gently.

I saw an old man in luxurious clothes sitting in front of him, with his eyebrows on his face, the old man of a rich family.

"Li Gui, what's the matter?" Wang Ye Li continued to ask without raising his head.

"Master, today I saw a scholar in the market outside, and I came to give it to the prince. As he spoke, Li Gui stretched out Duan Tian's poems and paintings and spread them on the prince's desk.

Wang Ye Li raised his eyes, suddenly threw away the book, and carefully looked at the calligraphy and painting.

"It's a good painting, the pen is gentle but powerful, the strokes are smooth, and the artistic conception is even more profound. Not bad. The old prince looked up at the young man in front of him.

"What's your name?" Li Wang Yetian asked.

"Back to the prince's words, the villain Duan Tian is a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam. As he spoke, Duan Tian bowed.

"Yes, yes, it's really terrifying. I can't imagine that you have such attainments in calligraphy and painting at a young age, and you are really promising. He looked at Duan Tian carefully.

"Poetry and painting are good, people are even better, and they are talented. Li Wang Ye praised.

"Thank you, sir. Duan Tian said with a smile not very good.

"Are you willing to stay in my palace and be a guest of my palace?" Li Wang Ye asked.

"I can't ask for it. Li Qin replied.

"Okay, Li Gui, you go and help Duan Tian arrange a side room to rest first.

"Yes, sir. Saying that, Li Gui motioned for Duan Tian to go out with himself.

Duan Tian said goodbye to the prince and walked outside the study.

The scene was so familiar along the way, and when he took it to Miss Li Shishi's study in the backyard, he stopped.

The butler asked as soon as he stopped.

"What's the matter, Duan Tian, let's go. Li Gui urged.

"It's okay, I'll be right away. Duan Tian hurriedly walked towards Li Gui.

Duan Tian had actually been secretly surprised in his heart, but he was also a little disappointed. I didn't expect to be able to get so close to the county lord's room again. The loss is that the beautiful woman is in front of her, but it is like a galaxy across a thousand rivers.

Duan Tian came to the wing room and sat down, and he fell into thought quietly.

Sometimes love can really change a person, some changes represent endeavor, and some represent destruction. Love is so great, love is so selfish.

Duan Tian, who didn't care much about fame at first, now deeply realized that if he wanted to get close to the county lord, he had to get fame first.

At this time, Bai Ruyu was still studying swordsmanship with his master Yuxu Daoren, and he didn't know anything about the outside.
