Chapter 266: The God of Swordsmanship is delivered)
After the Lantern Festival, the entire Spring Festival has completely passed.
The common people have already started busy preparing for spring plowing, and the merchants living in other places are also in high spirits preparing for a new journey after more than ten days of rest.
Although the city of Jiangning is a bit busy, the atmosphere in Jiangning is still as festive as it was years ago. On the streets, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, small traders and hawkers. Children naughtily throw the lit firecrackers.
On the street, the faces of the young daughters-in-law who usually never left the house turned pale with fright.
But those children, laughing happily, stuck out their tongues at the couple under the majestic gaze of the lady's husband, and then disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The afternoon sun shines warmly on my body.
Walking leisurely on this street, Liu Qingqing looks like a spring fairy, attracting the attention of passers-by.
As she walked, she was attracted by a plum blossom made of brown sugar at a roadside stall.
I stopped gently and looked at the red plums made of brown sugar and exuding a sweet fragrance.
"It's beautiful!" Liu Qingqing stretched out her hand to touch the plum blossom, but when she reached halfway, she smiled and took it back.
That shallow smile and quiet and elegant temperament made Jiang Ning eclipse the entire afternoon.
"Boss, have one!" The scholar next to him saw the faint joy in the woman's eyes, smiled slightly, walked over, and said to the shopkeeper.
"Two!" The woman turned her head, looked at Lu Heng, and smiled lightly, whispering with a warm smile.
The sun shines on the bluestone road, reflecting the miraculous brilliance.
The wind blows, carrying the strong aroma of wine from the restaurant and the wet smell blowing from the Qinhuai River in the air.
In this crowded street, the uncle and sister-in-law each held a candy flower and ate it as they walked.
The woman's pretty face was slightly red, she was holding the sugar flower in her little hand, she lowered her head and chewed her lips gently. There was a small tooth mark on the sugar flower.
Lu Heng stuffed the candy into his mouth like a lollipop. While swallowing the juice, he asked vaguely, "Is it sweet?"
"It's very sweet!"
The woman hummed softly, as loudly as a mosquito.
"Uncle, are you worried?"
I walked quietly, but I didn’t know when I arrived at the Qinhuai River.
The wind blows, and the corners of the woman's skirt flutter lightly, and the waterfall-like green silk hair is slightly messy in the wind. A strand of hair sweeps around the side of her chest. The woman raises her fingers and collects the hair by her ears. She turns her head.
Come, look at Lu Heng, who has a calm face and stares at the vast Qinhuai River without saying a word.
"Oh, no!" Hearing this, Lu Heng came back from his thoughts, turned his head, looked at the woman's slightly furrowed brows, shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile.
"Oh!" The woman raised her head and glanced at him sadly. Her expression dimmed a little, and she whispered, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing the woman's expression, Lu Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He took a step forward, stood behind her, stretched out his arms, and gently wrapped his arms around the woman's waist. He lowered his chin slightly and rested it on the woman's shoulder, gently smelling the woman's fragrance.
When the wind blew, her hair moved with the wind and swept over Lu Heng's cheek, making it extremely soft.
Lu Heng held the woman's hands in his heart and held them quietly, not making a sound for a long time.
The cold wind blew along the shore with a damp coolness, and my wandering mind couldn't help but wake up a lot.
Lu Heng quietly hugged the woman in his arms and looked at the sparkling Qinhuai River in front of him, as well as the mist lingering on the river like green smoke.
After taking a deep breath, he held the woman's waist tightly and said lightly, "What would you think if one day we were to leave Jiangning and go to a completely unfamiliar place?"
A long time has passed since the seventh day, but the news from Tokyo still has not come back.
Although Lu Heng had a certain degree of certainty about the outcome of the entire incident before, however, as time passed, that certainty began to waver.
After all, unlike his previous life, Lu Heng was a single man with nothing to worry about.
Nowadays, there are many people around him who need to be taken care of and protected by him.
When I have concerns in my heart, I think more.
As time went by, Lu Heng, who was originally calm and calm, began to worry about gains and losses, fearing that he would make a wrong move and lose everything.
After all, he couldn't determine or judge anything based on a couplet.
Moreover, there is no need for that.
The boats had been prepared a few days ago, and there was more than one. There was also more than one way to retreat.
If anything happens, Lu Heng is very sure that he can escape safely with his family members.
In total, it has been more than twenty days since Lu Yushi came to Beijing.
Today is the last day!
Taking a deep breath, the cool air was sucked into his lungs, and all the worries in his heart disappeared with the cool air.
The arm holding the woman's waist.
, use a little more force.
He lowered his head, looked at the woman with a slight smile on her lips, and asked softly, "You want to come with me!"
A very firm statement, leaving no room for maneuver.
After finishing speaking, there was no reply from the woman. I looked down and found that the woman was still smiling slightly, looking at the vast misty river with her beautiful eyes, without saying a word, "Hey, I'm with you.
Why don't you give me some face while you're talking?" Lu Heng rubbed his forehead with a wry smile and said to the woman with a grimace.
"You've already said it, what else do you want me to say!" The woman turned her head, waiting for Lu Heng with her beautiful eyes, and said funny.
Although the woman never asked, she had already guessed some of the contents from her uncle's calm eyes. As for why her uncle didn't say anything, Liu Qingqing also knew in her heart that her uncle must be afraid that she would worry.
Something that could make uncle take it so seriously and be cautious... Hehe, what could it be?
Thinking about it in her heart, the woman stuck out her sweet tongue cutely.
It must be something serious.
but······
Although I thought about the seriousness of the matter, I was surprised to find that I didn't feel any fear at all.
Turning her head secretly, she felt sweet in her heart when she looked at her uncle, who had a calm expression and distant eyes.
It’s so nice to have my uncle by my side!
"If you really miss this place, then we can take time to come back and have a look!" Although Liu Qingqing didn't say anything, the smile between her brows made Lu Heng breathe a sigh of relief.
In her arms, Liu Qingqing shook her head gently, smiled shyly, curled up and leaned against Lu Heng's chest.
There was a shy smile on the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes moved, she looked quietly at the sparkling Qinhuai River that reflected the afternoon sun, and murmured softly, "Wherever uncle goes, I will go!"
Hearing this, Lu Heng smiled happily.
He took a deep breath, and his calm eyes changed slightly.
Stretching out his hand, pointing to the distant sky, he said leisurely: "Take you to the three mountains and five mountains, let our footprints ignite your dreams!"
Ha, a very familiar verse.
But I forgot who said it!
I lingered by the river for a while, until the sun set in the west, and I realized that it was getting late.
A cool breeze blows, but I don't feel cold at all.
However, inadvertently, he felt the woman in his arms curl up and squeeze into his arms.
"Let's go home!" Lu Heng took off his gown and put it on the woman's shoulders. Seeing the woman lowering her head shyly, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and lifted the hair from her forehead.
to his ear and whispered softly.
"Yes!" The woman responded softly, turned her head, and after quietly taking a look at the familiar Qinhuai River, turned around and walked towards home without hesitation.
When he was about to get home, he found Agui wandering around the door anxiously.
With Agui present, the woman who had been hiding under his arm easily escaped from Lu Heng's arm.
I felt a little regretful that I lost the faint fragrance.
Alas, along the way, I was too disciplined and forgot about business.
Lu Heng felt extremely regretful, shook his head and sighed bitterly.
The woman, on the other hand, looked at her uncle with her beautiful eyes. She was so smart that she naturally knew what his uncle was thinking.
Seeing her uncle's dejected look, the woman glared at him with her beautiful eyes, but smiled secretly.
"Agui!" Lu Heng stopped and called Agui, who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back at the door.
Hearing the sound, Agui quickly turned around and looked towards the entrance of the alley.
"Oh, sir, you are finally back!" Seeing Lu Heng standing in front, he greeted him with a smile.
Agui felt happy and hurried over, sighing with a grimace.
"What's wrong?" Lu Heng frowned when he saw the door of the small courtyard was ajar, put his hand on Agui's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"There are people coming from Tokyo!" Agui looked at the young master with a serious face, raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard, and whispered.
People coming from Tokyo are naturally people from the imperial palace.
Both of them knew this.
But, what news did he bring?
Lu Heng thought about it calmly, raised his head, looked at Agui and said, "How many?"
Agui stretched out a finger and said, "One!"
one?
Lu Heng was surprised for a moment when he heard the sound.
After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up.
Agui was frowning, twitching his chin, and muttering to himself, why is this person here, what is his purpose, and who ordered him.
After following Lu Heng for such a long time, he was unknowingly affected by Lu Heng's behavior.
It's just that such an inference, well, is really hard to compliment!
Agui imitated the way the young master usually licked his chin and muttered to himself when he was thinking about something. Unexpectedly, as he was thinking in his head, he found that there were more and more loopholes.
Moreover, all the information was finally mixed together and turned into a pot of porridge.
Agui had no choice but to give up. When he raised his head, he found that the young master was looking at him with a smile, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Have you figured out anything?" Lu Heng looked at Agui and asked with a hint of expectation in his heart.
"This man..." Agui frowned, took a deep breath, and whispered with a heavy expression.
Turning his head and looking at the young master with eyes full of expectation, Agui said in a deep voice, "It's from Tokyo!"
The smile on Lu Heng's face suddenly froze·
He forced out a smile with difficulty, took a deep breath, looked at Agui with admiration, nodded, extended his thumb, and praised, "What a wonderful plan!"!
