The tired crows are crows more keenly, the warm spring night is still cold.
Yang Zhaoxi carried Lily Guards on his back, chasing after him slowly and without stopping, so that he could keep up with the red light that was leaping and running in the distance.
As expected, Abbot Lingche kept his word. Along the way, he was never stopped by the bad guards on the night watch. After twists and turns, the group of six people finally rushed back to the south city, and then slowed down their pace, walking through the criss-crossing streets.
Wander.
Only then did Yang Chaoxi realize that the person on his back was lying limply, with his arms weakly holding his neck. He seemed to be drowsy and extremely weak. Yang Chaoxi was worried that something was wrong, so he called softly: "Sister? Sister?"
?We are almost there! Just be patient for a while longer so that I can help you heal your injuries..."
Lily Guard behind him didn't respond. As if he heard his words of "almost there", all the strength in his body seemed to be drained out in an instant, his arms relaxed, and he fell straight backwards.
Yang Chaoxi's heart sank, and she stopped quickly, stretched her right leg back, and lowered her upper body suddenly, stopping her falling and landing her firmly on her back. Immediately, he lifted her up, and her body suddenly turned over.
He came over and held the Lily Guard in his arms. He looked closely and saw that Lily Guard's face was pale, his breath was as thin as a thread, and he was already in a critical condition.
Yang Chaoxi was in great distress and cried out: "Sister! What's wrong with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he choked. He took out the hand holding the waist, and saw that his hands and sleeves were covered with dark red and sticky blood. He instantly understood that when the two of them were attacked and killed,
She had actually been hit by an arrow. But in her haste, she didn't even take a closer look!
Until now, it was too late. The blood gushing out from the back of the heart had already soaked most of the dress. Blood beads dripped to the ground, sparsely extending an intermittent blood line. The vitality followed.
Time passed by without a trace and passed quickly, and Daluo Jinxian came to this world. I am afraid that I will not be able to save him.
Yang Chaoxi's eyes were slightly wet. He looked at the Lily Guards with breathless energy, and felt endless regrets in his heart: If he had had more energy and stronger legs, how could he have been overtaken by a group of unscrupulous guards and struck with crossbows and arrows?
force?
Perhaps because Yang Chaoxi was overwhelmed with emotion, he stared at her with blazing eyes. The Lily Guard's face suddenly glowed with some energy, and its deep eyes opened, their eyes were green, and there were tears trapped in them: "Yang...
...Young hero, I can't make it... My sister left her hometown and came to China... She learned Chinese, adopted Chinese customs, and became an Orchid selling wine... But she was still treated as a wine by Han men...
A plaything after a full meal... My sister just wants to boldly ask the young hero, if... if my sister is a girl from the Han family and is willing to give her life to you, the young hero will despise... despise my ruined body..."
"My sister is so good-looking! And... she has a very good heart and is reasonable... I can only ask for it... How dare I despise her!"
As Yang Zhaoxi spoke, her voice became more and more choked. Suddenly she felt a soreness in her nose, her eyes felt hot, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She and Sister Hu Ji had only met once before, that is.
In the boat blocked by a group of heroes. Unexpectedly, the second meeting today would be the farewell!
But I saw that Hu Ji's eyes widened, her eyelashes trembled, but she smiled happily and contentedly. In an instant, her starry eyes dimmed and the moonlight eclipsed: "Sister... thank you..."
Before she finished saying thank you, her delicate body sank, and the smile was fixed on her beautiful face.
Yang Chaoxi quietly held the body that was getting colder and looked at the smile that still lingered. He could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
In the misty eyes of tears, there is the kindness of his mother waving her sleeves to wipe the sweat and whispering his baby name, Guan Lin'er sticking out her tongue and smiling around the fence, and Cui Wan dressing up as a woman and slashing with his sword on the altar of shame and anger.
, and there was also the embarrassing situation where when Tan Qing pestered him to learn swordsmanship, he was scared and ran away by pretending to be a ghost... There were all kinds of things, and they were all messy. He felt as if a big piece of his heart had been cut out, and he cried more and more sadly.
After a long time, he felt a soft jade hand slowly pressing on his shoulder, as if comforting and explaining: "Little Taoist priest, these orchids in Chang'an City look glamorous and crowded with guests, but in fact they are from humble origins and have a miserable life.
Many of the destinations are just to work as merchants, actors and actresses, to get food and clothing, and to hope that there will be no disasters in the old age.
Although we, the Zoroastrian religion, can protect a little or two, there are countless relatives of Chang'an city emperors and noble officials. These orchids sing, dance, and drink with each other every day. I don't know how many of them become playthings and end up miserably. Today you only have to
When you see an Orchid in trouble and die, you will be overwhelmed with grief. What if you go to Chang'an one day and see hundreds of Orchids being despised, maimed or dead?"
After Yang Zhaoxi heard this, he raised his head suddenly and said: "Liu Xiaomu, do you always like to be so condescending and talk lofty words? This sister was sent by you to enter the city disguised as a 'saint', but was captured and tortured. She had already escaped.
The day I was born, I was pierced by a crossbow arrow and lost my life. Not only did you not have any compassion, you also took it as a laughing stock and ridiculed me. I wonder what kind of peace of mind you, a holy girl, have?!"
Liu Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, as if he was intimidated by his righteous and stern words, but also seemed to feel sorry for him and not want to argue with him.
After standing silently for a long time, he said quietly: "It's not that my aunt doesn't understand compassion, it's that compassion is not only useless, but also confuses the Taoist heart! The ancient man-made excuses for words often imply the principles of yin and yang, the positive and negative meanings, and both 'life is not the right time'
Sometimes, there are also people who die in their proper place. Many orchids in the Middle Earth are born at the wrong time, unable to control themselves, and they are not as good as an ox or a horse from time to time! And the one in your arms is different from the one you usually see.
The manipulated Hu Ji is much stronger.
However, what she asked for was nothing more than "comfort" and "peace of mind". Just when she was dying, you untied the last knot in her heart, so she died with a smile, which can be regarded as a "death well deserved". She herself was not afraid
When you die, why do you need to cry out in sorrow?"
Yang Chaoxi cried for a long time, her mind was groggy, and she only listened to about ten percent of what she said. However, she still refused to put down the body in her arms, with a blank look on her face, and slowly walked towards the old courtyard of the Beggar Gang.
Liu Xiaomu had no choice but to pull out the green jade hairpin and scratched his head before saying: "Two little ladies! We followed you all the way tonight and were not caught by those Yuan's eagle dogs. It is considered a blessing. How long will it take to spy?
?Get out of here, everyone!"
Two slender figures, seeing their appearance exposed, had no choice but to swallow slowly and emerge from the back of a closed leather goods store.
Tan Qing seemed to be still recalling the reason why Senior Brother Yang was crying and shouting while holding the Orchid and behaving abnormally. But Xiao Man had already put his hands together and saluted respectfully: "Saint aunt is well!"
Liu Xiaomu said with waning spirits: "Xiaoman, it is your fault to follow you tonight, but the 'Fire Attack' has merit, and the merits and demerits are equal, so my aunt will not punish you. As for the girl of the Qin family, once she has found the guardian of Tianji, she will leave it to him to discipline him.
Go for it!”
Tan Qing immediately frowned and said: "You - you look just a few years older than me, why are you so old-fashioned and pretending to be a senior? Hey! Do you want to leave just because you can't stand up to others..."
Before Tan Qing could finish speaking, Liu Xiaomu had already turned around, turned into red light, and led three Lily Guards towards the Beggar Gang.
Tan Qing was about to catch up, but was stopped by Xiaoman with a wave of his arm: "Junior Sister Qin, if the Holy Aunt is not angry, the net is wide open. If you continue to mess around, it won't be as simple as two slaps..."
Tan Qingdeng immediately remembered that a few days ago, his senior sister Tang Juan was slapped twice by the holy aunt, and she lost all her fighting spirit. He immediately stopped and stood in the wind, like a clay sculpture motionless in the wind.
The boudoir is fragrant and warm, and the candles shed tears.
In the backyard of Cui Mansion in Luxinfang, there are strange flowers winding around the path, rockeries are rugged, a pool of spring water is awakened by the morning breeze, and sparkling patterns are swaying. Many baby swallows come in and out of pairs, fly out from under the eaves, pass through the corridors of the house, and twist around the trees.
Outside, they were chasing each other with cheers and shouts.
Cui Wan had already pushed his pillow and put on his clothes, and stood up lonely. Standing in the cage-like west wing, looking at the gradually brightening sky, he only felt a sense of futility in his heart. Fei Yu was still lingering, and his body was filled with sorrow and loneliness. The spring scenery was beautiful, but
No one to lean on.
Xiao Ping came in with the hot water mixed with it. Seeing that Cui Wan had not slept well all night again, she couldn't help but feel sad. But she tried to persuade her. The sixth lady was deeply lovesick and her husband fell asleep, but she couldn't resist the head of the family, Cui Lu.
Being confined in this small side courtyard, waiting for the wedding day with Yuan Jineng to approach day by day. Even though my heart is burning and my bones are being burned, I can't do anything.
As far as Xiao Ping is concerned, whether the Sixth Miss marries the Yuan family or the Fang family, she is still a maidservant, but it is just one more person to serve every day. If Miss Guishui is inconvenient, she can also accompany her to bed.
Of course. The only thing that Miss Sixth wishes for in her heart is for Miss Six to marry a husband who is well-educated, courteous, and kind to others, so that she can avoid a lot of suffering. But Yuan Ji was frivolous, arrogant, and domineering, and had long been notorious.
When she thought of Miss Sixth marrying such a dandy, she began to feel a lot of uneasiness about her future.
"Miss, please wash up!" Xiao Ping hesitated for a while and then called out.
Cui Wan slowly turned his head, his black hair was draped, and his silk ribbon was like a waterfall, and he said lazily: "Wash it or not, what difference does it make? I just walk around this room every day, and I dress up in heavenly fragrance and national beauty. Who can I show it to?"
go?"
Xiao Ping knew her temperament, so she silently walked over and pressed her in front of the mirror: "Which boudoir daughter doesn't like makeup, powder and blush? How can you neglect yourself, young lady! Maybe if you dress up beautifully today, then Mr. Yang will
It’s back!”
Cui Wan smiled sadly: "Xiao Ping, you don't have to make me happy. Daddy is so determined that he will marry me to Yuan Jinneng to seduce the powerful Yuan Zai dog thief! As the Cui family, I
My legitimate daughter can't help herself. He... is just a mountain boy. What's the use of just coming here? He's just setting fire to himself."
Xiao Ping was about to reply when she heard a high-spirited voice from outside the door: "Oh? How could Sixth Sister look down upon Yang Shaoxia so much? From Fifth Brother's perspective, this man has a strong heart, an upright temperament, good poetry and prose, and extraordinary martial arts.
It must not be something from the pond!”
Cui Wan stood up suddenly and ran outside. A grate that had just been inserted half-way fell down. As he ran, he said anxiously:
"Fifth brother! You are back... How is Chong Lingzi doing now? Do you have any news?"
