"Uncle! There are words here!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhuge Yue hurried back, only to see a few lines of beautiful small characters next to the fire. The writing was very deep, showing how complicated the mood of the person who wrote it was. I'm leaving. Don't look for me. I won't go back for revenge. Take good care of Moer. At the bottom of these words, there is a line of slightly messy handwriting. Zhuge Yue, thank you. Thank you, for what? Is it the grace of not killing, the help along the way, or the friendship of taking care of this child?
Zhuge Yue suddenly shouted angrily and kicked away the fire that he had finally lit. Mo'er was stunned and shrank to the side, not daring to come forward.
Zhuge Yue strode forward, ready to run out of the cave.
"Uncle!" The child was afraid that he would abandon him, so he shouted, "Where are you going?"
Yeah, where is he going? Go chase after them? What qualifications does he have?
Zhuge Yue suddenly sneered, then threw away the things in his hand, stood in the empty cave, raised his head, breathed deeply, and whispered sarcastically, "Zhuge Yue, you idiot!" It was raining heavily outside, and this rain was enough to cause another flood on the banks of the Chishui River.
Chu Qiao rode her horse wildly in the cold rain, her mind was blank, and all the things were connected together. She cursed herself secretly, thinking that she was so stupid. She had to see it with her own eyes to understand everything.
Her blood suddenly became so hot, her eyes were bright, and her breathing became rapid.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard as they galloped madly through the mountains.
The sky was gray and cold. Chu Qiao didn't know how long she had been running before she finally saw the low valley again.
All the strength in her body seemed to leave her instantly. She sat on the horse in a daze, looking at the empty valley, her blood running colder and colder.
She jumped off the horse and walked in the mud, one step deep and one step shallow. Sure enough, in that place, she saw Xingxing's young body again.
Two hours later, a new grave was hastily erected, and three innocent lives were buried underneath.
Chu Qiao stood in front of the grave. She put the knife aside with a swish and then knelt down without caring about the dirt on the ground.
"Xingxing, I'm sorry." Chu Qiao said in a low voice, with a bit of powerless sadness in her voice, "Sister can't avenge you." Her head hit the ground heavily, splashing a large amount of mud and water.
She knelt quietly, as if she had so many things to say in her heart, but no matter what she said at this time, it would sound like a wonderful irony. Her hands were tightly grasping the dry grass on the ground, her eyes were firm, but tears were flowing out. She didn't know whether she was crying because of the child's death or for something else.
"I'm sorry! I can't do it!" She choked with sobs, then suddenly stood up, climbed onto the horse's back, and galloped towards Tang Jing.
It should have been afternoon, but the sky was so dark, with pitch-black clouds pressing down on it, making it almost hard to breathe.
The wind blew through the trees, making a rustling sound, and everything was watching the gradually receding figure, including the small new grave. The wind and rain are miserable, leaves are falling, when will this damp and cold weather clear up?
At the same time, the gate of Tangjing City, hundreds of miles away, suddenly opened, and a gorgeous carriage rushed out at lightning speed. The driver, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, said to the people in the carriage with a bitter face: "Your Highness, it's almost over. The horse is about to die!"
"Hurry up!" the man in the carriage urged loudly, and then a demon-like face appeared, wearing a bright red brocade robe, as if getting married, with a pair of phoenix eyes slightly raised, and said sternly, "If you are caught again this time, I will order your two sisters to come to the palace to sleep with you."
When the young man heard this, he was startled and immediately became alert. He swung the whip hard and hit the horse's buttocks with a swish.
The horse neighed loudly and immediately galloped forward madly.
On the top of Yuping Mountain, beside Nanhu Lake.
After a heavy rain, all the lotus flowers in the pond fell, leaving only black branches tangled on the water. From time to time, birds flew lightly, causing ripples. There was a cold wind blowing over the lake. The long wooden bridge was built with ropes and planks. Although it looked rough, it was natural and poetic.
The breeze is blowing gently, the flowers are in full bloom, the lakeshore is decorated with white flowers, and fish are swimming in the lake, wagging their tails gently, curiously looking at everything on the water. The sky was also blue. The earlier heavy rain had passed and there was not even a cloud in the sky. The sun was dazzling and although it was approaching dusk, it was still bright.
A winding wooden bridge leads to a small pavilion in the center of the lake. Standing above the water pavilion is a young man in red clothes, his clothes fluttering and his wide sleeves slightly open. A gentle breeze blows, lifting his long black hair and the corners of his dark red clothes. The red dress is embroidered with bright red roses, like exotic flowers blooming in the wind.
The man had a picturesque face, a high nose bridge, slightly raised eyes, and a stunning appearance. His narrow eyes glanced at the people outside the pavilion indifferently, revealing three parts of elegance, three parts of nobility, three parts of coldness, and one part of real unfathomable depth.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise I'll die in front of you!" A sharp and extremely noisy voice suddenly rang out, completely destroying the picture of a secluded guest living in the mountains in an instant. The man in red was seen holding a heavy sword with a thick back, trying hard to lift it up and put it on his neck, but his small body didn't have the strength to do so. His arms shook for a long time but he couldn't lift the sword.
"Your Highness, we are in no mood to care about your life or death. The emperor has said that we must see you alive or dead. If you don't go back with us, we will report to the King of Hell." A young guard in a navy blue robe leaned lazily against a pillar outside the pavilion, with a bitter face, and said to the man inside.
The red-clothed man turned his head and said angrily, "Lu Yunxi, you are such a jerk. I always think highly of you, but today you dare to add insult to injury. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely capture your sisters and bring them to the palace to sleep with me."
"Alas, Your Highness." Lu Yunxi said dejectedly, "Early when I was unlucky enough to accept this mission, my eldest sister had already taken her three unmarried sisters to live in Nian'an Temple. As long as you are alive and step into Tangjing City, they will shave their heads and become nuns. They have even sharpened their knives."
"What?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed anger. He said angrily, "They would rather become monks than accompany me for a romantic encounter. This is simply outrageous!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned his head and said to a big man in brown clothes, "Tieyou, do you want to be my enemy too?"
"Your Highness," the big man squatted on the wooden bridge listlessly, his head drooping, almost falling asleep, and said incoherently, "I don't have any sisters."
"I know!" the man said viciously, "but you have a daughter!"
Tieyou sighed again, staring with a pair of unfocused eyes, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, my daughter just turned one month old yesterday. Even if you want to threaten me, isn't it too early?" After saying that, Tieyou shook his head helplessly and said depressedly, "I didn't even drink my daughter's full moon wine, and I'm going to catch you for fun this month."
"Okay, you all want to rebel!" The man looked around angrily, staring at another handsome young man, and said with a sullen face, "Sun Di, are you going to go against me too?"
Sun Di smiled evilly, which was extremely seductive. He blinked his bright eyes and said to the man, "Your Highness, although I have no sisters, my mother married four concubines for me. I warmly hope that you can bring them all to the palace to serve you. That will be the greatest honor of my life."
"Your Highness," a tired voice sounded, and a young man of about 17 or 18 years old, with erect muscles all over his body, yawned and said, "Have you finished posing? If we go down the mountain now, we can still get back before the city gates close, so that we can still get a seat at Yuhua Tower tonight."
"What Yuhualou?" the man said angrily, "I tell you, I am very determined to escape this time."
Everyone looked at him helplessly. The mockery in their eyes was enough to make the Emperor of Daxia run to Yan Shicheng's grave in shame and kowtow. The meaning was very clear: When have you ever been unresolute?
But the man still did not show any guilt or embarrassment. He frowned and said righteously, "I will not succumb to the tyranny of my father!"
Tieyou sighed, put on the attitude of an elder, and kindly advised: "Your Highness, the princess of Daxia has entered the city, and envoys from various countries have also arrived one after another. If you escape at this time, the emperor of Daxia will be furious if he knows."
"That's right. If you don't want to judge someone, you should judge him. At worst, you can just marry him and leave him alone."
"Yes, if you are patient, you will have peace of mind. If you take a step back, you will have a bright future. Your Highness, don't dwell on this."
"Shut up!" the man shouted, looking up at the sky with a look of moral guardianship and said sadly, "I already have someone I like, and I must keep my position vacant and wait for her to come."
The other four people curled their lips in disdain. Does he have someone he likes? Unless Daxia voluntarily submits to Bian Tang.
Lu Yunxi looked up at the sun, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's not waste time."
The man in the exaggerated red robe took a cautious step back. "What are you going to do? I'm telling you, I mean what I say, so don't go too far."
Tieyou clapped his hands twice, stood up from the ground, and walked forward lazily, saying, "Work, work, and go home early to eat after you finish your work."
Sun Di took out a long rope and shook his head helplessly, "It seems that this is the only way."
"What are you doing? Don't forget who took you in. Xiao Luzi, I redeemed you when you lost money in the gambling house. Okay, although I admit that I set up a trap to deceive you, at least I didn't really ask anyone to chop off one of your hands!
"And you, Sun Di, have you forgotten the miserable situation when your mother kicked you out of the house? You even bought on credit to brothels, and all the girls in the city looked down on you. If it weren't for me, you would still be locked up in the basement of Yihong Building... Well, although you were kicked out of the house by your mother because I forced you to admit that the baby in Qiutou's belly was yours, you also took advantage of it. Qiutou, such a beautiful girl, has become your concubine..."
Suddenly, a miserable cry rang out, and the sound pierced through the sky. All the birds and beasts within a radius of twenty miles were frightened and fled in all directions. Li Ce, the most honorable prince of Bian Tang, let out a miserable cry on Yuping Mountain. He cursed loudly, "You are a bunch of ungrateful bastards. I have been so open-hearted to you all the time, but you dragged me down at the critical moment. Just wait, sooner or later, I will make all the women in your family sleep with me collectively!"
After being subdued and tied up in a few moves, just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, they heard a horse suddenly coming up the mountain road as if it was taking a leisurely stroll. As the horse was walking, it suddenly noticed them, stopped, and looked over there curiously, as if it was very curious about them. The most important thing was that there was actually a person on the horse's back.
Everyone was startled and looked at that person.
