Leng Ningyun was in the dark in the house, unaware of the sun and moon, and completely lost the concept of time. Not only did the weatherboards outside the windows of the house where he was imprisoned were put down, but a layer of black cloth was also added inside. The lights were on at all times. This made him feel uncomfortable.
He completely lost the concept of time.
When you are sleepy, turn off the oil lamp and go to sleep. When you wake up, you will find that the oil lamp is lit again, but it is turned very small.
Three meals a day were delivered, and there were two layers of curtains at the door, both inside and outside. In short, there was no light at all and nothing could be seen.
In addition, the robbers treated him well. Not only were his three meals a day clean and delicious, but the room was also equipped with "Australian books" published by Wanbi Bookstore. He was given a change of clothes every day, and two maids were attentive to him.
Serve tea and water, wash and change clothes. Play chess and cards with him, sing songs and play the piano. If he shows signs of restlessness, you can also sleep with him.
Leng Ningyun was a person who was used to being a big boss in Delong, but it was the first time that he was cared for so meticulously. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, he had a background in finance and had experienced all kinds of battles.
The other party vaguely seems to be a time traveler, and he is not too cruel to think about it. The other party kidnapped me to seek peace, and at least his life is safe for a period of time.
According to the atmosphere of the Senate, the life of the senator is above all else, whether literary or military. I believe that after receiving the letter I wrote, arrangements will be made soon.
Therefore, he could eat and sleep, but since he had nowhere to move around, he could only do prisoner fitness in the house, and engage in double fighting and the like.
On this day, I don’t know when it was, someone came in and saluted and said: "Please move the master to a different place." After saying this, someone came into the house and tied his hands and feet with ropes - but not tightly, just restricting his movement.
A mouthpiece was also inserted, and finally a black cloth hood was put on.
At this moment, it was dark, and he could only let someone hold his hand and walk slowly. Someone in front of him reminded him to lift his feet across the threshold and go down the steps. Suddenly, his skin felt cold, and there was a slight breeze blowing - he must have reached the outdoors.
"Please sir, please lift up the sedan." After saying this, someone led him into the sedan. After a while, someone whispered: "Get up the sedan!"
The sedan was lifted up and swayed all the way. It was very quiet outside, with the occasional barking of cats and dogs, but there was no sound of the night watch. It was probably a desolate village. As time went by, I felt that the sedan was gradually undulating and bumping, and from time to time it could still
I heard the low-pitched warning from the sedan bearer. The wind outside the sedan was getting stronger, and there was still the green smell of plants in the air.
Perhaps they have entered the mountains? Leng Ningyun was confused. There was a faint smell of rotting plants near the water in the air, and there seemed to be lakes and rivers.
I don't know how long it took, but he was already drowsy. The sedan stopped again. Someone helped him out of the sedan and went into the hall again to remove the restraints.
After removing the hood, Leng Ningyun opened his eyes. The flickering light stung his eyes. He closed his eyes again. After a while, he opened them again and adapted to the dim light.
Although the interior furnishings of this room are different from the previous one, it still has a lot of necessary items and furniture. However, the furniture is much rougher and simpler than the previous room, and the beams and columns are not decorated. The height of the shelves is also low.
Although it is simple, it is still a brick house, and it looks like the house of a wealthy owner in the countryside.
The windows were still the same as before, tightly blocked. It was dead silent outside.
He estimated that he had been riding in the sedan for about an hour, and it was not too far away from his original place. He hardly heard the sound of pedestrians along the way, and it was probably in a remote place in the countryside.
There was a square table in front of him, and there was also an Australian oil lamp on the table. There was a bowl of medicinal soup in front of the oil lamp, and the lingering steam looked hazy and confusing under the halo of the lamp.
Leng Ningyun moved his neck, tilted his head, and a long sword leaning on the chair next to him caught his eye.
Then a voice sounded from behind: "Don't look back." The voice was gentle and warm. However, the voice was indistinguishable from male to female.
Leng Ningyun's neck immediately stiffened, and he replied: "Yes."
The voice sounded again: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Leng Ningyun didn't speak and listened silently.
The voice said: "I'm staying in a hotel today just to call Mr. Leng some fun. Mr. Leng is pampered and has a delicate and precious body. He's in adversity right now. I'm afraid that you'll be so anxious and anxious and work so hard that you won't be able to bear it. Mr. Leng, noble man, die."
No. In front of you, sir, is a decoction that calms the nerves, calms the fire, and replenishes the qi. Please use it."
Leng Ningyun obediently picked up the soup bowl on the table and took a sip. The bitter taste made him frown.
The voice continued: "Mr. Leng, Mr. Leng's two maids will come to wash your feet, pay your respects, drink tea, and eat and drink. If you hear a knock on the door, please sit facing the wall. Do not face the visitor. Just listen.
Listen to the arrangements, don't struggle, don't be troublesome, and Mr. Leng will be safe."
Leng Ningyun said: "It all depends on the hero's orders."
The voice was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I have read the Australian book, and it is very good. It is a theory of salvation."
Leng Ningyun's heart skipped a beat and she softly said "Oh?"
The man stopped talking, reached over Leng Ningyun, and took away the long sword leaning on the chair beside him.
Out of the corner of his eye, Leng Ningyun saw the hand holding the sword. The hand was white and shining.
The door behind him slammed shut.
Leng Ningyun looked around and looked at the dim room. He suddenly remembered the sword just now.
Since the Song Dynasty, the long sword has lost its use as a weapon and been replaced by knives. It has gradually withdrawn from the battlefield and has become a decorative accessory for literati and elegant guests, or a ritual tool for generals, ministers and princes to show their status. Some officials of the Ming Dynasty and
Generals would even wear a wooden sword to show off.
But that sword was different. It was very long, with a wooden scabbard made of red shark skin. The hilt was one and a half long. It could be held with one hand or with both hands together. There were tangled flowers carved on the sword grid.
There is a hole for the rope, and a dark red handle rope is tied in the hole. The hilt of the sword has a faint scarlet color, which is the color of blood, indicating that it is a murder sword.
Leng Ningyun thought blankly that among the warriors he had seen, no matter whether they were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, martial arts masters of the escort trade, or heroes of the martial arts world, none of them used swords in actual combat. That's why that sword impressed him so deeply.
The sword was red, red to the eye, red to the heart, red like a wound.
Two strong mules were pulling a large cart, rolling down the road. The cargo on the cart was not high, but the wheels dug deeply into the unpaved road, leaving deep ruts, indicating that the cart was heavily loaded.
.
Lao Feng, wearing a bloated cotton coat, sat piled on a mule cart and drove the cart.
Lao Feng seemed a little sluggish. Unlike Lao Feng, his whip was particularly energetic. The whip handle was made of red date wood, and the joint with the soft whip of cooked leather was decorated with a cluster of fluffy red tassels. Every time he crossed a ditch,
Every time, Old Feng would shake his hand seemingly casually, and the whip of the soft whip would immediately explode on the mule's head at the right time, waking up the mule's spirit, dragging it hard, cracking the whip, and adding three thousand force
, only the best handlebar styles are equipped with such calmness and laziness.
More than a dozen men in colorful clothes walked slowly behind the cart.
Liao Sanniang, Zhao Liangjian and Liu Chang each rode a miscellaneous horse. The three horses were spread out in a line at three points to protect the front and rear of the cart. Xiao Bazi followed Liao Sanniang on a donkey.
Liao Sanniang had been out of the city for a while, and the two large carts used as blinders had returned. She circled a few times to make sure no one was following her, then she joined the silver cart and rushed to Zhuangzi outside the city.
When leaving the city, several Kuaishou helpers who were guarding various places in Shuntian Mansion saw them. They would probably report to Liu Tuiguan at this moment, but Liu Tuiguan had already secretly said that they could "do things cheaply" as long as they did not fight or kill in the city.
, made a big noise, Shuntian Mansion just pretended not to see it.
Liao Sanniang stopped her horse, took out her handkerchief from her arms, and wet it with the sweat on her forehead. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that Xiao Bazi was following behind with a lot of thoughts. She couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked: "You hozen, you don't have any free time on weekdays."
, what happened today, did you go out of your way?"
Xiao Bazi picked up the donkey and rushed forward to stop alongside Liao Sanniang. He hesitated for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Sanniang, I sincerely accept you as my godmother, and I beg you to agree."
Liao Sanniang was startled, then smiled and said: "How old am I, how can I accept such a big son and let others gossip for nothing?"
Old Feng glanced at it, with a half-smile on his face.
Xiao Bazi hesitated for a while, then suddenly rolled over and rolled off the donkey, hit the ground, banged his head a few times, and said loudly: "I have entered the game. Thank you for your support, Sanniang. I am very grateful, boy."
His family was poor and his life was low, so he had nothing to repay, so he only risked his ruthless body, but there was a fight with his brothers. Thinking that his godmother was the vanguard, the boy rushed in and out of the jungle of swords and guns. Although he died without regrets, he asked the third lady to help him.
"
Liao Sanniang brought her right hand lightly, and the horse under her crotch tilted its head slightly. It snorted and stood up, and its front hooves flapped restlessly a few times.
Xiao Bazi looked at Liao Sanniang from the corner of his eye. Under the backlight, he could only see a black figure, but his face could not be seen clearly.
The people on the horse were silent for a while, and Xiao Bazi's heart sank. He just felt bad in his heart, thinking that he might not be able to fulfill his wish today.
A large amount of sweat dripped from Xiao Bazi's cheeks, and Xiao Bazi suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart. He shouldn't have been so hasty. Although Liao Sanniang is heroic, she is also a woman, and her face is probably not as thick-skinned as a man. She should leave this matter to others.
Calm communication and operation can only be done after the two parties have settled down. Today's recklessness is equivalent to squeezing Liao Sanniang. If she rejects it, there will be no way back.
Suddenly, a rustling laughter sounded in her ears, and Liao Sanniang said: "Skinny Monkey, I will accept you, but I have a tough eye and a lot of rules. I don't rub sand in my eyes, and I won't forgive my mistakes. Can you bear the beating?"
Xiao Bazi was so happy that he stood up and said, "Thank you godmother for helping me. I have thick skin and thick flesh. I can bear scoldings and beatings."
Liao Sanniang said: "Get up. Even though you are a gent, you will serve wine when you get back. You will be considered a member of my Liao family."
