"I'm a little itchy." He Qizhou grabbed Xiaoxue's jade hand and pulled her into his arms.
"With so many scars, how many times have you experienced life and death?" Xiaoxue just wanted to see the injuries on He Qizhou's body. Although at first glance he looked a bit more toned than when he saw it in Tianshu Academy that year, upon closer inspection
, a series of shallow and deep scars, making He Qizhou's skin look like sand dunes after a strong wind.
"With you here, all my wounds can be healed; with you here, my broken governor's veins will be reconnected; as long as you are there, even my dead heart will be able to come back to life!" He Qizhou embraced Xiaoxue.
Tighter.
Xiaoxue seemed to be unable to hold on, and she and He Qizhou both fell on the bed. After several attempts at "strangling", there was no winner. The "battle of words" also had to have a result, but I wanted to see if you, the top pick, were the real deal?
There was a "porphy" sound. I don't know if it was He Qizhou or Xu Muxue. During the "fight", he still had his hands free to extinguish two candles in the air. The two light smoke rising from the candlesticks seemed to transform the small bridal chamber.
Became a fairyland
…
"The mandarin ducks spend the night in pairs, with pear blossoms pressing against the begonias on their temples. The begonias are wet with the first rain, and they are so sweet that they want to talk..."
"Senior brother, your literary talent is so good. What do you mean by the word you are chanting? It's already three o'clock in the morning, why don't you let me go in and call someone?" asked a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old from the villa.
"That is, if you are not good at martial arts and don't have some literary talents, how can you get around in the world? As for the words, you will understand them when you grow up. My master must have been tired last night. Just wait." He knelt down again.
Ling Su said proudly at the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Ling Su! Get away as far as you want!" He Qizhou's roar came from inside, but he didn't sound very confident.
…
"Luo Yu, master wants to see your wife off and find people from the Lotus Gang. Just follow the people from the villa. I will come to Pan Gu's camp to find you."
"Oh..." Although he was extremely reluctant to give up, Luo Yu still nodded.
"Be careful yourself. Yuwen Lingyun has promised to teach you Lingyun's sword skills. Learn it hard and don't be lazy."
"Um."
"Okay, hurry up and follow them, they are all gone." He Qizhou said.
After three days of traveling north from Hanjian Villa, we finally set foot on the vast grassland of Yinshan Mountain. On the field at the foot of the mountain, dozens of carts and more than 200 horses were neatly lined up. This was after Helian Changji left.
, Yuwen Lingfeng sent people to go to the nearest nomadic tribe overnight to buy it at a high price.
Three days ago, after sending away more than a hundred Jianghu guests, they moved the village to the north. No one was left in the village. More than thirty of the Jianghu guests actually asked to go with them to the villa, and Yu Wen Lingfeng readily agreed.
At this time, He Qizhou was preparing to send Xu Muxue to Wusun Kingdom in the west. The latter would then return to Tuyuhun from the Western Regions, while the Villa and his party headed north to Pan Gu's summer pasture.
"Okay. Master, Ling Su said that the father and son have long disliked Helian Qingfeng. He wants to go north with us. Will you accept him?" Luo Yu asked.
"His foundation is really good. You should take a look first. If he is indeed a kind person, you can consider becoming a teacher." He Qizhou was in a very good mood these days.
"oh."
"Just teach him a set of Liu Mian Zhang first, and let him concentrate on practicing and stop composing any poems." He Qizhou said again.
"Poetry? Do you mean 'Pear Blossoms Press Begonias on the Temples'? Everyone in the villa has spread the word, and they all say it is a good poem, but I just don't understand what it is about, and what is so good about it..."
"Let's go, let's go. Your master's wife is here, don't let her hear it. There might be a fierce fight on the way, remember to be careful, and don't be polite to Ling Su!" He Qizhou waved goodbye to Luo Yu,
Xu Muxue was bidding farewell to Yuwen Lingyun and led her horse towards her.
"Oh, Master, take care of yourself too." Luo Yu turned around and left, not daring to wipe away her tears because the master's wife was already coming towards her.
"Little Luo Yu, don't worry, your master will come to you when he finds the Lotus Gang Leader." Xu Muxue saw the tears in Luo Yu's eyes.
"Well, Master Wife, you will definitely meet again soon!" The tears still fell down, and Luo Yu had to turn her head to wipe them away.
"Then we have to work harder. When the time comes, we will go to Jiangling together to pick up your senior brothers." Xu Muxue said.
"Yes!" Luo Yu nodded heavily, then mounted his horse and chased the team that had penetrated deep into the grassland.
Yuwen Lingyun, who was at the end of the team, had already changed his appearance. He stood facing the west, as if watching Xu Muxue and He Qizhou leave, or waiting for Luo Yu to come. That face that once fascinated Helian Changying
He is still so handsome, but the desolation and loneliness in his eyes is like a shadow of a wild goose flying south in the sky...
"Let's go." He Qizhou, who was waiting for Xu Muxue, said gently.
"Yes." Xu Muxue responded equally gently. In the past three days, Xu Muxue found that she seemed to have changed her temper and was so kind to everyone, let alone He Qizhou.
"What did Yuwen Lingyun say again?" The two of them had already said goodbye to the Yuwen family, but later Yuwen Lingyun chased them out again.
"He said that the spies sent by Zhuangzi have discovered the traces of Yu Linwei, which is only about forty or fifty miles away. They will pay attention to their hidden whereabouts and ask us to be careful as well." Xu Muxue said.
"Oh, let's go quickly!" He Qizhou jumped on his horse and gently patted the horse's cheek. It was the snow dragon horse Xiaoxue rode, and now it has found its true owner.
"Well, let's go!" Xu Muxue nodded and started to gallop on the horse. It was a green horse and it was the best horse in Hanjian Villa.
"Herodus..." The snow dragon horse, which had become almost pure white, roared, and then chased the green horse that accelerated first, as if to show its master the rapid progress it had made over the past year!
Under Yinshan Mountain, in the Chile River, under the dome-like sky, on the vast wild grassland, two horses are galloping side by side, green horses in white clothes, green horses in white clothes, skirts flying, sleeves fluttering, no need to be afraid of the vastness of the world, express your generous heart!
…
"Hey, do you think this place looks familiar?" Xiaoxue asked.
"It seems to be the place we passed when we escorted Helian Changji to Qingcheng the year before last." He Qizhou lay on his side and hugged Xu Muxue a little tighter. Above the two of them was a tent set up by Snow Dragon Horse's jersey.
Although it's still mid-September, the night wind on the grassland is already biting.
"In the Gobi, when I was the coldest, you hugged me like this." Xu Muxue closed her eyes, imagining the scene of burying her whole body in He Qizhou's arms.
"It's a little different. It's because I feel a little uncomfortable holding you, and I can wrap it up a little tighter. Now..."
"What's wrong now?"
"Now that there is more meat and people are thicker, naturally they can't cover them all."
"Fuck you! Hey, are you tired?" "Tired. What about you?"
"Me too. Let's go to bed early tonight." Xu Muxue said.
"Um."
"Yeah, yeah, keep moving, stop moving."
"Go early tonight and rest."
"no!"
"We will arrive at the Lotus Gang tomorrow. We don't know when we will meet again..."
"But, your hair is already white. Don't force yourself when you're tired."
"The pear blossoms are no bigger than the begonia trees."
"No! A crabapple pressed pear blossom!"
…
"Everyone, stop!" In the valley where the Lotus Gang often set up ambushes, He Qizhou and Xu Mu were indeed surrounded by people.
"We know Gang Leader Guo, please show us the way." He Qizhou said loudly to the robbers around him.
"Master of the Pot Gang, Master of the Bowl Gang, boy, don't try to get away with it, just keep the horse and property, I can let you live."
Xu Muxue had already disguised herself as Xu Mu, glanced at the fifty or sixty robbers around, and whispered to He Qizhou beside her: "These faces are very strange. I didn't seem to have seen these people when I came here half a year ago.
And by then there weren’t many people left in the Lotus Gang.”
"What are you talking about? If you don't surrender, I will order the arrows to be fired!" The leader standing on the top of the cliff was obviously a little afraid of the two people who dared to walk here alone.
"Don't, don't, it doesn't matter if you shoot a man, but won't you lose a lot if you shoot a horse? We really know Gang Leader Guo Wenguo, please tell us, brothers." He Qizhou waved his hand in a hurry and said, his gray temples were too conspicuous.
, Xu Mu had already dyed it black on the road.
Someone next to the leader suddenly said: "Sixth brother, that useless leader of the Lotus Gang seems to be named Guo Wen."
"Look at my memory. I forget things when I drink." Brother Six suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case. He lowered his head and said disdainfully to the two people who were more than ten feet below: "Are you the helmsman of the Lotus Gang? How much money do you bring with you?
?Now you are the worst!"
He Qizhou looked a little solemn and said to Xu Muxue in a low voice: "It seems that the owner of this place has changed. I don't know how Brother Guo is doing, but hurting people casually may damage the harmony. Why don't you go with them to the village to have a look."
"Okay." Xu Mu nodded.
"Hey, what are you discussing? If you don't pay enough money, your gang leader Guo won't be able to survive!" Brother Six on the cliff shouted loudly.
"I have gained something along the way. Brother, why don't you take me to see your elder brother first?" He Qizhou said.
"Bring the money first! Let's see if it's enough for your Lotus Gang!"
"I have more than three hundred taels here. Let us enter the village first." He Qizhou took out the money bag from his arms and threw it to the leader on the cliff.
"That's it. What about you?" The leader pointed the riding crop at Xu Mu again.
Humph, I've been in a good mood these past two days, so I'll let you go first! Xu Mu muttered, took out his deflated purse, and threw it in hard.
"That's it? How long have you been here? Do you know the way?" Brother Six saw that the two people threw out their money bags without leaving a penny for themselves, and they looked quite proud, so they didn't want to continue to make things difficult. After all, in name only
We are already a brother who eats in a pot.
"I know." Xu Mu replied.
"Forget it, Lao Jiu, ask a few brothers to take them in to prevent people from Tutang from sneaking in. I'll squat for a while." Sixth Brother was still a little worried.
