1. Remembering the youth, the heart is uncertain
The war is together, the killing continues, time is like an arrow, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
At that time, the weather was hearty, the warm sun was melting, in the Xuantian Tower of Emperor Taishan in Shudi, Li Ruolan was wearing a white shirt, leaning on a recliner, and there were four young women standing in front of her, looking respectful and very polite, and she was her most intimate and powerful maid, whose name was: return to spring, return to summer, return to autumn, return to winter. The four of them are about eighteen or nine years old, beautiful in appearance, loved by Li Ruolan, well-behaved, loyal, and quite weak. These four people were sent by Li Tingyu to accompany Li Ruolan, help her relieve her sadness and boredom, and also help her take care of the children and take care of personal affairs.
Guichun carefully took out a letter, got Li Ruolan's consent, tore it open and looked at it, and said: "Qiqi Sect Master Niangniang, my lord, they have won the battle again, and now they have beaten the Tartars to the ground in Jiangnan and gained a firm foothold." ”
Li Ruolan smiled slightly and said: "Daddy, his life's wish is to expel the Tatars and restore the Han world, but he is not young, is he okay?"
In the past year, taking advantage of the scorching war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ogedai Khanate and the Golden Horde, Zhao Sheng raised troops, attacked the enemy unprepared, and even went down to dozens of towns in Yunnan, and Li Tingyu led the Jianglong Gang to raise things in Jiujiang, and also conquered Lin'an, Yangzhou and other cities, won one after another, the morale of the righteous people was greatly boosted, and more enthusiastic, and the heroes and heroes of the world were inspired by this, and continued to take refuge, and more ambitious people took advantage of the situation to raise the flag, and also learned from Zhao Sheng's appearance, set up a new monarch, proclaimed himself the throne, rebelled in Yungui, and had many battles with the Yuan army.
Guichun nodded and said, "Don't worry, the master said that he is very good." But then he frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "But the goshawk is that guy."
Li Ruolan's eyes showed a fierce light, and she suddenly hated and asked, "What's wrong with him?" She knew that these four people would never betray her, so she told her all the revenge plans in her heart, and these four people took pity on their master. also hated the goshawk together, gave advice for Li Ruolan, and paid attention to all kinds of news.
Gui Chun said: "He is cunning and tight, wants to cover up, pretends to be decadent, and always borrows wine to kill his sorrows." He didn't work hard, and he was specifically mentioned in the master's letter, full of pity and sympathy. ”
Li Ruolan sneered: "My husband's martial arts are so strong, those who can kill him should not be inferior to Yan Ran in martial arts." In the world, there is no one but him. He also knows the key, so he doesn't show it, and wants to hide it from everyone's eyes. Hum. This man is so cunning that he can deceive others, but he can't deceive me. ”
It turned out that a year ago, the goshawk neglected for a while, mistakenly believed Xuan Qin's words, and ignored Xuan Qin's tricks, and was so tired that Gui Yanran's family was almost ruined, and Gui Yanran was also killed. Now I don't know whether I live or die. When the goshawk thought of this, he was depressed. Become deep and introverted.,No longer the good things and aggressive nature of the past.。 Li Ruolan thought that the goshawk was the great enemy who killed her husband, and when she saw his situation, she felt that this person's behavior was hypocritical and hateful.
Li Ruolan listened to Gui Chun and read the letter, and returned to Xia Fu and stepped forward again. Speaking of all kinds of chores, mentioning that there are disputes in the church, and disputes between soul snatchers and others, Li Ruolan couldn't help but feel a big headache when she heard it in her ears.
After the death of Gui Yanran. The people in the rivers and lakes remembered his kindness and kindness, and came to help each other, and the Xiaoyao Palace not only did not decline, but grew stronger and stronger, and now it is slightly more powerful than in the past. Not long ago, Han Qiong lost her beloved daughter and grandson, fell ill for many days, and passed away, Li Ruolan did not have the talent to run things, and the teaching affairs were slightly chaotic, so the sect was divided into two factions, one was the original believers, loyal to the Xuanye teachings, and the other was the later people, who just admired Gui Yanran and sympathized with Li Ruolan, so they came to defect, but in fact they didn't know anything about the Xuanye teachings.
There is a great difference between these two factions, although Li Ruolan is the leader of the sect and has the best martial arts, but she does not believe in the demon god herself, and her prestige is insufficient, how can she mediate? Xue Binghan has come here to help her for several months, alleviate the situation, deal with disputes, and make the situation greatly improved, but Li Ruolan accidentally revealed her tone to Xue Binghan, suggesting that the goshawk may be a treacherous and vicious person, Xue Binghan laughed, and did not believe it at all, Li Ruolan also had a grudge against her, and sent her back, no longer receiving her favor. Now that the discord is rising again, Li Ruolan doesn't know what to do for a while.
Behind the screen in the house, a girl walked out slowly, crying and asking, "Mother, mother, I want mother." ”
Li Ruolan was happy and pitiful, picked up the girl, coaxed her softly for a while, handed her into Guiqiu's hands, and said: "Yan'er, let Sister Guiqiu play with you here, don't be petty." Then he said to the other three: "Let's go and see Aunt Hua and ask her why she is arguing with people again." ”
The four of them walked out of the house, just when the moon was bright and the night was thick, the autumn wind was blowing, and they felt cold, they walked quickly to the outside of the soul-snatching Xuanhua Hall, only to hear the noise inside was very intense, but they lowered their voices, their words were blurred, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, Li Ruolan knocked on the wooden door and asked, "Aunt Hua, are you inside?"
After a while, the soul snatcher opened the door and saw four important people in the house, and when she arrived, her expression was very strange. Li Ruolan sneered and asked, "Uncle Sui, Uncle Ban, Aunt Wen, Senior Brother, it's so late, why do you gather in Aunt Hua's house if you don't go back to rest?"
The soul-snatcher's eyes were slightly confused, a little dodgy, and he sighed: "They are at home with me, talking about interesting things, and just having fun." ”
Li Ruolanqi said: "Since you are here for recreation, why are you standing? Why don't you sit down quickly?"
The old man surnamed Sui was an elder in the sect, his eyes rolled, and he immediately smiled and said: "The sect leader must have something important to do here, why should we leave this mistake? ”
Gui Chun said loudly: "Wait, Mr. Sui, the sect leader has something to ask, you can't just leave." ”
The old man surnamed Sui asked, "What is the sect leader Niangniang inquiring about?"
Li Ruolan said: "Aunt Hua, I'm so thirsty, can I give me a cup of tea?"
Soul snatcher hurriedly apologized, called the maid, poured good tea, Li Ruolan politely said a few words, took a sip of tea, and praised: "Good fragrant Biluo spring tea." He smiled again and said, "Uncle Sui, you are accompanied by Aunt Hua, not only do you stand, but you don't drink her tea?"
The old man surnamed Sui smiled, shook his head and said, "The sect leader made fun of it." He said, "The subordinates retired." ”
Li Ruolan sighed and said, "Uncle Sui, I don't have time to go out of the early dynasty today, I heard that in the main hall, you quarreled with Gao Baiqi and Ma Ziya again, right?"
The old man surnamed Sui was stunned for a moment, but he knew that he couldn't hide it, his demeanor became stubborn and arrogant, and said: "What the sect leader Niangniang said is right, these people don't know anything at all, they have no rules, and they don't worship the Xuanye Demon God. The subordinates couldn't look at it, so they asked them to bow to the idol, but instead of being unwilling, they sneered and hated it. ”
Li Ruolan sighed: "They were not my Xuanye Sect disciples before, but in the past year, they have been loyal to Yan Ran, offering gold and silver treasures, contributing people, and the credit is really not small, the current situation is undecided, Yan Ran's revenge has not been avenged, and it is inconvenient for us to set strict rules so quickly and oppress newcomers." Why should Uncle Sui be upset about such a trivial matter?"
The old man surnamed Sui and the others heard her being so partial, their faces were full of anger, and the soul snatcher also sighed, and said, "Did you hear that? ”
The old man surnamed Sui snorted, bowed his head and left. The woman surnamed Wen had the strongest temperament, and glared at Li Ruolan, looking extremely rude. Li Ruolan was angry and asked, "Aunt Wen, do you have anything to say?"
The woman surnamed Wen couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Sect Leader Niangniang, hum, I really don't know how to be virtuous, dare to call myself the sect leader." ”
Return to spring, return to summer, return to winter and shout at the same time: "How bold! How dare you be so rude!"
The woman surnamed Wen sneered: "I Wen Zhi was born with this temper, he has something to say, and he never hides it. The sect master is the incarnation of the night demon god, with high skills, everyone respects, I Wenzhi is even more five-body to the ground, and he is dedicated to following, but he is already dead, this Li Ruolan is not proficient in the doctrine, nor is he a patriarch in the sect, but after sleeping with the sect leader for a few years, he was cheeky and self-proclaimed the sect leader's mother, I really didn't see it. ”
Li Ruolan said coldly: "It turns out that you have long been disobedient, and you came here today to persuade Aunt Hua to oppose me?"
The woman surnamed Wen shouted: "I didn't say that I wanted to oppose you, but you, the sect leader, have no real name, and you accept pagan laymen as members of the sect and don't spread the doctrine, so I don't want to work for you anymore!"
Li Ruolan said: "Very good!" Suddenly, the tea in the bowl flew out, hitting the chest of the woman surnamed Wen like a water dragon, the woman only felt a strong internal force hit, her eyes were full of stars, her chest was in severe pain, she screamed miserably, fell aside, coughed again and again, and vomited a mouthful of blood. This woman surnamed Wen is also an elder in the sect, and her martial arts are not weak, who knows that Li Ruolan just throwing tea is enough to seriously injure her, and the high level of martial arts is really shocking. The old man surnamed Sui, the old man surnamed Ban, and the man surnamed Shi were each shocked, their faces turned pale, while the soul snatcher looked gloomy and shook his head slowly.
Li Ruolan said: "If you are rude to me, you are guilty of making trouble and ignoring the master. I should have sent you to prison and served with a rod, but I am magnanimous and only punish you a little, and I will not care about you for the time being. But if there is a next time, I will nullify your efforts and expel you from this sect, do you understand?"
The woman surnamed Wen couldn't turn around in one breath, and she couldn't speak in pain, so she could only nod her head reluctantly. The old man surnamed Sui and others helped her up, panicked, resigned, and apologized to Li Ruolan. Li Ruolan said with a smile: "As long as you know that you can change your mistakes, everyone is still a good brother, so you can go down." The four fled as if they were flying.
Li Ruolan was stunned for a moment when she saw them leaving, then looked at the soul snatcher, and saw that she was also quietly distracted, and asked, "Aunt Hua, what did they say to you?"
Soul Snatcher's face was full of helplessness, and she sighed, "What they say doesn't matter. But the Sect Master's niece, I've already made up my mind. ”
Li Ruolan felt uneasy for a while, and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Soul snatcher said: "Ruolan niece, I am too old to be overwhelmed, and I want to leave here right now. I'm not with you anymore, so you have to take care of yourself. (To be continued.) )
