5-123 Bianjing
When they arrived at the Qingyou Temple, everyone almost rolled off the flying sword.
The two escort elders turned pale and panted, opened the forbidden gate of Qingyouguan, and beckoned all the disciples to hurry in, preparing to teleport them back to the Jiuli Mountain Gate as soon as possible.
Li Hong resolutely shook his head at the two uncles: "You go first, I'll wait for the masters and uncles to come back before entering." ”
The two elders of the Spirit Character Sect did not insist, their injuries were very serious, and it was because of this that they withdrew first with all the disciples, and if they dragged it on, they were afraid that it would break the Dan. They hurriedly instructed: "You have to be careful, we must hide the green oil temple again." ”
Li Hong nodded and withdrew, the door was about to close, and a slender white figure suddenly passed through the crack in the door and stood resolutely beside Li Hong.
Chu Xi said calmly: "I won't leave either, I'll wait for the master to come back with Chu Hong." ”
The gate of Qingyouguan was closed again, and the dust and fallen leaves instantly covered the staircase gate. The ban is reopened.
Li Hong couldn't blame Chu Xi, he understood Chu Xi's deep relationship with Ling Xiangzi. Thinking about it, he pointed to the other side and said, "There are dense bushes there, so let's just hide there and wait while cultivating." ”
Chu Xi nodded silently. Her face was haggard. Li Hong was a little sad, these days were really enough for her. He walked to the edge of the mountain stream, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, twisted the water and handed it to Chu Xi, and said softly: "You wipe it, there is ash on the corner of your eyebrows." ”
Chu Xi took it silently, carefully wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, and then twisted it in the water and handed it back to Li Hong: "You also wipe it." As soon as she handed it to Li Hong, she suddenly sighed and pulled back the silk handkerchief to take a closer look.
Li Hong's eyes flashed, and he remembered that this piece of silk handkerchief was still made for him by Wanyi, and he was reluctant to use it in his sleeve, so why did he take it out at this time.
The corner of the silk handkerchief is embroidered with a small "macro" character and a small red flower.
Chu Xi said strangely: "Where did this silk handkerchief come from? The embroidery workmanship is very exquisite." ”
Li Hongzhi went over and remembered Wanyi under the mountain, is she okay? The gentle and beautiful face appeared in his heart, and there seemed to be her faint sigh in his ears.
The two sat on the ground under the bushes, separated by a foot, and began to do their work. Li Hong was strangely difficult to settle down. Wanyi is here, right down the mountain, just a few moments away from here.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't settle down, he opened his eyes and quietly looked at Chu Xi.
Chu Xi held the best fire jade essence in his hand, and his whole person glowed slightly red, and he had completely entered a state of concentration. Xiubai's face is very serious and dignified, and she looks like a treasure, like a female Bodhisattva who I saw in a Buddhist temple when I was a child.
Chu Xi is very different from Wanyi. Li Hong actually had this thought in his mind at this moment. Chu Xi is like a fairy in the snow mountain, she is smart, wise, icy and jade, and sacrosanct, in front of her, she has never really relaxed, so as not to lose to her and make her look down on her. And Wanyi, fragile, flesh and blood, just a mortal, an ordinary woman waiting quietly at the bottom of the mountain.
Li Hong took out the small faded red velvet flower from Qiankunkui, played with it in his hand, and Wanyi's sad and grieving beautiful face appeared in front of him.
He couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up quietly, without alarming Chu Xi, he got up and swept towards the farm below the mountain. One look, one look...... He said to himself.
He didn't notice that Chu Xi, who was sitting down, had finished his work, and slowly opened his beautiful eyes thoughtfully.
A large area of Qianmo has just been harvested, the fresh grass fragrance fills the lungs, and there are still people busy in the field. Li Hong was not alarmed alone, and jumped over the wall and sneaked into the Zhuangzi.
It was quiet in the house, and the door was open. Li Hong stood at the door of the room like a thief, raising one hand, but never pushing the door.
At this moment, footsteps sounded in the house, and someone walked to the door and shouted, "Who is there?
A slender white hand opened the door, and when she saw Li Hong at the door, Wanyi was stunned, she almost couldn't believe her eyes: "Hong'er, you're back!"
Li Hong didn't say anything, just looked at Wanyi fixedly, and his eyes contained strong thoughts that he couldn't even explain.
Wanyi's cheeks slowly welled up with blood. She stepped back from the door, lowered her head and swept her sideburns, and said coquettishly, "Come back, come back, what are you doing standing at the door like a thief? ”
Li Hong bowed his head and walked into the room.
The sun was already in the west, and the room was dimly lit, so he turned around and looked up to meet Wanyi's scrutinizing gaze.
The two were only an elbow away, and he could smell the faint aroma on Wanyi's body. It seems to be the smell of the Forgotten Butterfly, but it is a little different, more vivid, with a good smell of fireworks.
In less than two months, Wanyi's complexion was better and plumper, her face was round, and there were two round flesh sockets on her plain hands that were uneasily brushing her sideburns. She's getting better and better.
Li Hong's blood surged upward, only to feel a rumbling sound in his head, and almost subconsciously grabbed the bare hand that had been sweeping his sideburns.
Wanyi's hand was trembling slightly, but she didn't retract, and let Li Hong squeeze it tighter and tighter. She tilted her head slightly, looking ashamed and happy.
The two of them remain in this odd position. Time passed very slowly and seemed to be extremely fast, Li Hong heard the violent beating of the heart in his chest, his lips were very dry, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Have you eaten?"
"Huh?" Wanyi didn't expect Li Hong to be stunned for a long time, and she burst out laughing. Before she could speak, she suddenly felt that her arms were tight, and she was already tightly held in her arms by Li Hong, she was ashamed, and just wanted to speak, she felt that her feet were empty, and the whole person rose to the sky.
"Ahh
The people in the farm were shocked, and when they looked up, they only saw a faint and strange cloud shadow elongated in the sky. But they saw nothing.
The earth swept swiftly under his feet. Wanyi was tightly held in Li Hong's arms, and the whole person was immersed in Li Hong's breathing, her heart was very panicked and excited, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Finally opened her eyes, only to look down, the whole person became softer, she said weakly: "It's so high...... Dizzy...... "Leaning on Li Hong's warm arms, he refused to open his eyes again."
The wind was whistling, and it took a long time before I heard Li Hong say: "This is it, let's eat." ”
Wanyi opened her eyes and saw the green earth under her feet rushing towards her quickly, and she was so frightened that she screamed again, and her crying did not stop, but she found that her feet had fallen to the ground.
Li Hong held her and said softly, "It's here." ”
Wanyi's heart was pounding. Li Hong held her hand in the palm of his hand and slowly led her forward.
His hands were warm, calm, and strong. This power spread all the way to Wanyi's heart, and she felt strength in her legs.
The darkness in front of him oppresses a big city, which is about a border town. There are banners of the Great Song Dynasty fluttering on the city walls, and the guards are extremely tight, and the spears and crossbow tips of the forest poke out of the pheasant moats.
Seeing the big and familiar word "Song" on the flag, both of them were hot. Wanyi smiled and said, "It's good that this is still our Great Song Territory." ”
Hearing this, a shadow quickly flashed through Li Hong's heart, and he remembered his eldest brother Li Wu, who joined the Jin Army.
Wanyi immediately thought of it, glanced at Li Hong, and lowered her head uneasily.
"Let's go, let's go have a good meal. Li Hong clenched Wanyi's hand again.
"Listen to you. Wanyi whispered softly.
The queue to enter the city was very long, all of them were the people of the Great Song Dynasty who had fled here, many of them were in rags, looking full of vegetables, and they had not eaten a full meal for a long time. The two of them couldn't help but look unbearable.
Li Hong thought about it, and simply came to the front of the team directly, and said to the soldiers who were searching the luggage and strictly checking the Jin people's spies: "Brother Bing, please, we want to go to the city, please make it convenient." ”
The large group of Song soldiers who searched the luggage all raised their heads from the luggage pile and looked at the two in front of them very puzzled. The leading young sergeant looked Li Hongwanyi up and down, and said in a deep voice: "You search my body, women don't have to." So that you can go in. ”
"Good. Li Hong didn't care, he walked up to the soldiers and raised his hand, ready to be searched by them.
The young sergeant gave a look, and a dozen or so sergeants suddenly pulled out their swords, pointed at Li Hong and Wanyi and the others, and shouted: "Where did you come from!
Li Hong unexpectedly flew to Bianjing, far away in the Central Plains (Note 2), but he did not expect it. Seeing that there was indeed no half of the luggage on his body, he knew that the sergeant was suspicious because of this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But after thinking about it, I was happy again, Bianjing was back in the hands of his own people! Last time, I heard Chu Xuan say that he had lost his hand.
Wanyi was already frightened and shouted, "Hong'er, let's not go into the city! ”
Li Hong shook his head, thinking that Bianjing was back in his hands, he was in a very good mood, seeing that the young sergeant looked like a leader, he smiled and said, "I didn't bring any luggage because I fled." Brother Bing, you can search for it, don't worry, we are not golden dog spies, we are authentic Song people. ”
Under the tip of the knife, his face did not change, and he was still smiling, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't see through it. The afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely on Li Hong's face, his face was shining, his eyes were dark, he looked radiant, and his kind and righteous smile made people feel very good at a glance.
The young sergeant groaned slightly, and then resolutely raised his hand and waved: "No need, you are definitely not spies! ”
"Thank you, brother. Li Hong took Wanyi by the hand, and walked through the dark doorway with his head held high.
Bianjing has experienced the baptism of war repeatedly, and still shows traces until now, many houses have been burned down, and the blackened broken bricks and tiles have grown out of the grass. Only the three-storey tall city walls still stand majestically, and it is these three thick city walls that have repelled the invasion of the Jin soldiers again and again.
They were entering the first wall. Once inside, it's the outer city.
A large number of fleeing people appeared, and the streets were full of unclothed beggars, and the further he went, the more desolate Li Hong's heart became.
Wanyi's face was also very ugly, she bit her lower lip, not knowing what she was thinking.
After walking a few long streets, it seems that when you reach the bustling center, there are fewer beggars. Many flags appeared in the distance, and Li Hong pointed to one of them and said, "It looks good there, let's go in." ”
Xiao Er's eyes at the door were excellent, and when he looked up and down, he immediately smiled and greeted the two of them directly to the private room on the second floor without commanding. A local mahogany table of eight immortals is covered by plain white gauze screens on both sides. The gauze screen is full of celebrity inscriptions. Place is spacious and tasteful.
Xiao Er lightly propped up the snow paper window, wiped the clean table again, and asked with a smile: "What do the two guest officers want to eat?"
It was the first time Li Hongchang came to such a luxurious place at such a young age, or a big restaurant in Bianjing City that he had never been to before and had longed for countless times in his dreams, Rao had seen many of the world, and he still couldn't reply - he didn't know how to order food at all.
Suddenly, a crisp and beautiful voice sounded at the door: "Four cold dishes, four hot stir-fried eight plates of fruits, and a pot of bamboo leaves." ”
The elegant fragrance blew in, and a person turned out in front of the porch, full of laughter, pure and beautiful like a snow-capped mountain fairy, it was Chu Xi.
Note 1: Zong Ze, a famous general of Song Kangjin.
Note 2: Tokyo Prefecture is Bianjing.
