The carriage was driving, the lights in the carriage were swaying, and there were noisy sounds from the road outside. Occasionally, firelights flashed past in groups, and people shouted and shouted, which caused the carriage to slow down.
When she woke up, Lou Shuwan was still in the car, and sitting next to her was her brother Lou Shuwang. Seeing her waking up, Lou Shuwang wanted to go over and hold her hand, but she almost subconsciously avoided him.
, the grip turned into a pat: "Is everything okay?"
When she suddenly woke up, her memory still lingered on the moment before she fainted. She sat up, and then she realized what she was doing. She opened the car window and looked outside. A group of soldiers were running over with torches. They were already far away from Sijizhai.
It's very far away, and I don't know what it is like over there now.
"Brother, how could you do this..."
"I know what you are thinking, but Ning Liheng has already had a problem with our family. This problem cannot be resolved. Secondly, he has already caused a big disaster... Forget him, you should not be with him anymore.
Get acquainted.”
"He..." Lou Shuwan lowered the car curtain and thought for a moment, then frowned and raised her voice, "He... it's just a trivial matter, a misunderstanding between my second brother and him! What can't be resolved!"
Lou Shuwang looked at the girl next to him, and then although his tone was still indifferent, he still raised his voice: "Your second brother wants to kill him."
"Wha, what..."
Lou Shuwang tilted his head: "Do you think your family doesn't know that Ning Liheng is still in Hangzhou? Your second brother has seen him once. He has been suddenly working hard recently and making friends everywhere, just to find Ning Liheng through connections.
, kill him quickly. Today, Lou Jingzhi is also one of the people he made friends with, and I introduced them to him... But with tonight's matter, it is impossible for your second brother to do it himself. "
"Second brother, how could he do this? He and Li Heng only have a slight quarrel. In the final analysis... at most he has a crush on Tan'er because he sees her beauty. Why would he kill her husband if he has a crush on her? Brother... you
, you also support him..."
Lou Shuwan said, a little unbelievable, but Lou Shuwang's tone was calm: "Whoever your second brother wants to kill, I won't interfere. But he is a man of the Lou family. I am very happy to cheer up. I should have known where Ning Yi is."
, but if your second brother wants to find him, I don’t care whether he can be found. I would rather Ning Yi hide longer and use more powerful methods. The greater the difficulties your second brother encounters, the more he can grow. I also
If I had known about your dealings with him..."
He looked at Lou Shuwan, this time for a long time: "Ning Liheng... is different from the men you have been with in the past. You can't afford to play with him or control him. After today's incident... forget about him.
"
"You...brother...you mean I'm a playboy..." Lou Shuwan is actually sensitive in this regard. After saying this, she gritted her teeth and raised her hands. "You men. Second brother, what are you talking about?
A manly man, how can a prime minister kill someone just for such a thing? Killing someone! Killing someone and seizing his wife is what bad guys do in dramas! It’s just a trivial matter, and the country doesn’t even know it.
How could the second brother remember it for so long...a manly man..."
Before she finished speaking, Lou Shuwang reached out and slapped the seat next to him: "You are just a watery person!" He was already tired these days. He was probably a little irritated by his sister's words, but this anger only ended.
That's it, the eldest son of the Lou family immediately calmed down his eyes and sighed:
"But you are my sister, and I also know that your character is different from those women who are really free-spirited. When I asked you to marry Song Zhiqian, your family was forcing you. I know you are unwilling in your heart. Song Zhiqian can't control you, then
It's his business. I only wish you a good life. But, how did you really live like that later? Those scholars who interacted with you, you treated them sincerely at the time, but you didn't get tired of any of them later...
"
"People need to be content. I know what kind of man you want to be matched with. But if there was such a man in Suzhou and Hangzhou at that time, wouldn't I help you find it? I can't find the kind of man you have in mind.
Men, in those famous families, there may be people who are talented, literary and elegant, and who are compatible with you, good-tempered and elegant... Shu Wan, but you are not a talented woman, and our Lou family at that time was not worthy of someone like that.
Human?"
As the eldest brother in the family, Lou Shuwan had always admired Lou Shuwang, but the two of them usually did not have a close relationship. But when she heard her brother talking like this, her eyes almost turned red:
"Then I...then I also said at that time that I don't want to get married. I don't want to marry anyone who doesn't like me!"
"How can a woman not marry when she is older?" Lou Shuwang said, "Besides... when you first got married to Song Zhiqian, your relationship was quite good. His background was not very good, but his literary talent was there.
I can't be called neither humble nor arrogant, but I wasn't overly obedient at the time. He was already the best candidate at that time, and you didn't need to marry into a wealthy family. The Lou family can provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life. The family is smaller, but I wasn't overly obedient.
That’s it. If you want the kind of man who is neither humble nor arrogant, who doesn’t care about anything and can treat you as an equal, where can you find it?”
Lou Shuwan gritted her teeth: "Ning Liheng...it's just..." After she said this, she added, "This is how I treat sister Tan'er..."
"He?" Lou Shuwang looked at her, "How do you know what happens between husband and wife? He seems neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact he is proud and proud. You...can't control him."
Lou Shuwan was silent for a long time and said quietly.
"Brother, you also said that he is fine."
"I mean, how is he? I mean, you can't control him. You may feel that he is strong despite his gentleness, and you feel that as a woman, you might as well be a little bit attached to him, but you have never been able to be stubborn since you were a child.
It doesn't matter if you come here, you will be just as annoyed after a while, but just like those men in the past, you will just drive them away, but this... you will admire his talent and knowledge, and you will like him. When the time comes,
It's just that he's tired of you, so you don't even have a place to cry. You are my sister..."
Lou Shuwang paused as he spoke: "Forget it, I shouldn't tell you these things. Live a good life with Zhiqian, there is no life that you can't live with. Shu Wan, in fact, you are just too spoiled after all.
"The human heart is not as big as a snake swallowing an elephant. This mountain looks as high as that mountain."
In fact, Lou Shuwan may not have thought about these things, but even if she thought about them, what can be done about them? She has been pampered for so many years. How can she change her appearance just by thinking about them?
There was silence in the carriage for a while. After a while, Lou Shuwan said softly: "Then... what happened to Li Heng? Why did General Li kill him so relentlessly..."
"He fought head-on with Shi Bao and others. He killed Gou Zheng, Lu Sheo, Yao Yi, and Xue Dounan. Just like Li Tianyou said, he had the blood of thousands of rebel soldiers on his hands. Shu Wan, these things
, didn’t you even find out clearly?”
"What's going on? He's just a scholar. Now he's just doing accounting..."
"Ah, a scholar..." Lou Shuwang had already laughed, and then Su Rong told what he had heard about Ning Yi, from the explosion in Taiping Lane to the escape in Huzhou, and in the end it was just because of bad luck.
I was finally caught and brought back...
"Can you control someone like him?"
Listening to all this, Lou Shuwan was a little stunned at first, but then she opened her eyes and her body trembled a little. Only then did she know that there was something hidden behind Ning Yi's usual understatement. Facing Shi Bao,
Perhaps there was also the most powerful Buddhist commander in Fang La, who escaped all the way, held the lives and deaths of thousands of people in his palms, and turned his hands into clouds and rain. She had only heard of these in storybooks before.
, but never imagined that the person he has been interacting with recently would be such a person.
"Then..." She thought of the situation on Sijizhai. "Even if he faced Li Tianyou, maybe he wouldn't... and wouldn't..." Halfway through her words, she felt that she really didn't know what to say, so she finally said
: "Brother, why do you still let your second brother go to trouble him? Li Heng is so powerful, how can you still let your second brother..."
In what he said just now, Lou Shuwang did not pretend to be satisfied with what Ning Yi had done. However, at this moment, he looked at his sister and shook his head with a smile, thinking that he didn't really mind.
"Shu Wan, some things in this world happen because of people, and some happen because of things, but in the final analysis, they are all the result of the two working together. Without the general trend, no matter how strong the ability is, nothing can be done, even if
I have average qualifications, but if I meet the general trend, I will sometimes make great achievements... There is no one in this world who can really turn his hand into clouds and rain! You just heard the magic in the story, Ning Liheng
At that time, he had an old relationship with Qian Xiwen, and he had the support of the government. He himself was somewhat capable, but Tang Xiuxuan and others took this route during their escape. Do you believe that Ning Liheng was doing everything alone? "
He took a breath: "Even if he really has the power of ghosts and gods, what can he do when he arrives in Hangzhou now? Li Tianyou is determined to kill him today, and he will not hesitate to offend Ba Dao Camp. His brother is Li Tianrun
, will be back soon. Even if the Naha Sword Camp has the strength, how can it win for him! If he hadn't made up his mind, how could he have gone to Shijizhai like this? Even Fo Shuai, under such circumstances, could fight
Are you a soldier on the first floor?"
"We're getting home soon." Lou Shuwang said, patting his sister on the shoulder, "Don't think too much, it's going to be like this anyway, he has no way to survive."
"But... since he can do that... maybe there will be a turn for the better..."
"Even if there is, it doesn't matter." Lou Shuwang replied, "Your second brother still wants to kill him. You can't stop him. Or do you really want to turn against your family because of Ning Liheng?"
Lou Shuwan was a little silent. She couldn't do such a thing. When she opened the curtain, she looked in the direction of Sijizhai. Naturally, Lou She could not be seen. She also knew that there could be no turning point, but since there was no change yet,
After getting the exact news, she could still imagine whether there was a chance. Maybe she was still alive, maybe she was still alive... But in more thoughts, she seemed to see that Li Heng was dead now, and the Xuanwei camp walked away. Although
She tried hard not to deliberately think of these things, but as long as they drifted through her thoughts, she still hugged her body. The night was as cold as water, and time could not catch up with the dusk just now when Ning Yi was still alive. She also felt the cold, and her thoughts were blurred.
Gradually becoming numb in the alternation between fantasy and unimaginable...
She once met such an amazing person before she expected it, but maybe less than a stick of incense ago, somewhere she couldn't see, he was already dead...
*****************
On the other side, Sijizhai.
The person in front picked up the head in his hand, and the air was already frozen there. A little later, Liu Jin looked at all this, and he had also stopped, and wanted to move forward to see more clearly.
Then, there was a sound of gasping for air.
"How could..."
"Tang Kou..."
"say what……"
There was just a slight sound, and then everyone looked into the dark door. Because what the man was holding was the head of the big man Tang Kou. No one knew what was going on, and the people behind even
He didn't see the head. Then, Li Tianyou reacted immediately.
"He has an ambush!" He grabbed the knife in his hand and knocked away a lantern on the top with the back of the knife. A little light flew into the darkness, and someone kicked open the cracked door with a loud bang.
.
The people behind were still unclear about what happened, but their reaction said everything. The people on Li Tianyou's side rushed towards the room frantically: "Catch the person!" "He has helpers to ambush him!"
"That man is dead..."
"Master Ning killed someone?"
The first whispers here were also filled with astonishment. Liu Jin looked behind him and then at the heads over there. At this moment, there was a loud "boom" in the room, and the light lit up for a moment, almost
Everyone was frightened. After the light returned, inside, someone slowly shook the light spot of the torch in his hand and lit the lamp. His tone at this time was no longer as cold and hard as before, and became
Somewhat relaxed.
"Did I win?"
Everyone was just stunned and ignored him. Someone actually broke through the wall over there and rushed into another small private room. Ning Yi held a knife in one hand and a blunderbuss in the other and walked out of the room.
By the way, he wiped the blood stains on his face. Li Tianyou clenched his hands into fists. He looked at the headless body of Tang Kou in the room and said nothing. Then he just said harshly: "Search! Find his companions!"
Ning Yi did not argue or refute this. Although his injury today did not appear to be serious, he was already quite embarrassed now, but he still maintained his demeanor. He looked at Liu Jin, walked to the table beside him and sat down.
There was chaos on the second floor for a while. Everyone was sure that he couldn't kill the Tang bandit. He didn't use the fire blunderbuss when killing him. He had made the surrounding area dark before. There must be helpers hiding among them. At this time, there was no way.
To argue is to make Li Tianyou suffer the consequences of being dumb.
At this time, some of the scholar's style showed up in him. As long as there is no evidence, others can't argue with him in theory. Everyone started talking for a while, and they all said that he had another helper.
But compared to Li Tianyou who brought a whole team of soldiers with a fierce momentum, Ning Yi only had three people, and no one found any flaws. This move really looked beautiful in everyone's eyes.
In this little chaos, another small episode that no one paid attention to was also happening downstairs at this time. Zhu Yanlin had just gone down to deal with it. Everyone looked at the fierce battle and didn't pay attention. Just as everyone was still there
During the search, Li Tianyou turned around and looked at Ning Yi with blood-red eyes. Before he could speak, a voice sounded from downstairs.
"The situation in the world... is beyond my generation, and the years have rushed me as soon as I enter the world..." The voice belonged to Zhu Yanlin. He was probably reading a poem. The voice was not loud, but since it was already night, Sijizhai was also
It was empty, but everyone upstairs still heard it.
Li Tianyou was stunned for a moment.
Later, everyone saw one of Li Tianyou's staff hurriedly come up from downstairs and whispered something in his ear.
If you were downstairs just now, you might have noticed that at the door just now, there was a pretty woman holding a long box and she had a conflict with the soldiers guarding here. Zhu Yanlin then came down and everyone said
After talking and talking, the woman said: "Isn't there a literary conference here? Why can't you come in and bully me for not knowing poetry? I can do it, and I will write it for you to read..."
Then the woman wrote a poem crookedly on the wooden platform at the door, and Zhu Yanlin read it. Reciting poems at this time paid attention to cadence. The poem may not be considered good, but it is also quite powerful. Zhu Yanlin was also infected by this momentum.
The people upstairs heard his hesitant voice become smoother.
"While chatting and laughing about the grand plan and hegemony, I can't bear the drunkenness of life. I lift my sword and ride astride, swiping the ghost rain, and my bones are as white as a mountain bird flying in terror!"
At this point in the poem, it can be said that the solemn atmosphere in the rivers and lakes has been described. Everyone has just experienced the fight. Now Li Tianyou and others are standing here, and Ning Yi is sitting here with blood all over his body.
The lights were dim and the scene was in a mess... which further enhanced the atmosphere of the poem. Someone came up from downstairs with light steps and doubtful eyes. The first thing everyone saw was actually the long wooden hand she was holding on her chest.
Box.
When Zhu Yanlin lamented below that "the world is like a tide and people are like water, it is empty to sigh how many people come back from the rivers and lakes." Everyone also saw the face of the girl. She was very beautiful, with extremely beautiful facial features, but no one recognized her. She looked around
There seemed to be some curiosity around them, but there was not much information revealed in their eyes.
She looks like a maid from Ba Dao Camp...
Li Tianyou stood there and looked at her for a long time.
