In the morning shrouded in mist, Wu Gen hurriedly walked in the alley. The bluestone on the ground was covered with a layer of moss, making it very slippery to step on.
A cat patrolled the wall on the side of the road, avoiding the wildly growing vines, and its green eyes glanced at the sparse pedestrians on the street from time to time.
When you walk to the entrance of the alley and turn down another street, you can see the towering archway in the south of the city.
After parting ways with Xueyong, Wu Gen rushed directly to the camp. Everything in the camp was normal. Mo Xin was still guarding Fuming Pass. Zhang Yuan might have been transferred to Dingyuan City, but I don't know why.
When he came out this time, someone in the school captain's mansion must have revealed the information, which enabled Xueyong and others to accurately intercept and kill him. As a result, the city is no longer safe.
After returning, Wu Gen took a long leave and went to school on time every day. I don’t know why, but if I don’t go for a day, I feel restless like a cat scratching my head.
Only when you see the exquisite figure holding the ruler can you feel at ease. This feeling is indescribable, hazy and ambiguous, and ambiguous yet green.
The man sent by the third son of Qin to attack him had been dead for many days, and Wu Gen became more and more worried. Wu Gen has always been very confident in his intuition. If he doesn't leave, he may not be able to leave. If he had followed his past behavior, he would have run away long ago.
However, when I think about leaving Dingyuan City and not seeing that person again, my heart feels as uncomfortable as being punched by someone. Even just looking at her made me feel so happy.
"Meow." The cat's meow interrupted Wu Gen's thoughts. Looking up, there was a person standing under the blue brick wall in front of him. The alley was a bit narrow, so Wu Gen stopped and looked up.
The person blocking the alley was a woman in her twenties, wearing a green shirt and a red cloak, holding an oil-paper umbrella and holding a black cat in her arms. The cat stared at Wu Gen with eager eyes, as if it would jump out and attack at any moment.
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment, then stood up to make way for the woman. The woman glanced at Wu Gen, nodded slightly, and walked into the deep alley alone.
Arriving at the entrance of the school, the old woman was still squatting and smoking like a doorkeeper. After getting along for a long time, Wu Gen got used to her temper. As long as he didn't get close to Zhu Qianhua, everything was easy to talk about.
With a nod, Wu Gen prepared to enter the courtyard.
"Boy, the knife is very fast. Who taught me that?" Aunt Zhao took the initiative to speak for the first time.
Wu Gen was startled, remembering that he had never shown his sword skills in front of the old woman, so how could he say such a thing. Could it be possible... His eyes were suspicious, and his body gradually became tense.
"No need to guess, I saw the fight outside the city. That fool was actually killed by his accomplices." Aunt Zhao said slowly with a calm face.
Wu Gen took a step back slightly, with a playful expression on his face, "Oh, grandma had the foresight to know that I would be attacked and killed." His body was already ready to punch.
"Save your energy, your skills are just for bullying the raw melon boy, which is far from enough in front of me. The knife sharpener asked me to protect you to prevent him from losing money in the transaction." Aunt Zhao sneered at Wu Gen's little actions.
Wu Gen suddenly realized, no wonder he met Yi San. It turned out that Aunt Zhao had known him for a long time. Suddenly, Wu Gen was shocked. With such a person here, wouldn't Zhu Qianhua be in danger? "What do you want to do to Senior Sister?"
"Boy, don't worry about Qian Hua. I treat her as my granddaughter. But you, tsk tsk, have offended the Qin family and still dare to roam around in the city. Do you really think that you are the God of Killing? You are not afraid of anyone who comes in your way? Gentleman If you don't stand under a dangerous wall, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible.
Besides, the stench of your fancy thoughts can be smelled ten miles away. The world values a well-matched family, but you are the middle man, how can you dare to reach out to others? Even if Qian Hua is willing, you don't think about how she can raise her head among the nobles. Wouldn't it be a waste of her life?
The old woman is not unreasonable. I can also be Zhu Buzhan's half master. As long as you become a noble person, I will not stop you from dating Qian Hua. how? "Mama Zhao looked at Wu Gen with a sinister smile on her face, as if she was convinced of you.
Wu Gen suddenly felt a little discouraged. Aunt Zhao's words were unpleasant, but it made sense. A frog goes with a toad, which is right. If a toad goes with a swan, isn't it a joke?
"Do you understand?" Aunt Zhao looked at Wu Gen with a smile.
"I understand. I will find a chance to leave as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will come back." Wu Gen had a gloomy face, wishing he could crush the walnut face in front of him.
"Okay, I'm ambitious. I'll give you a gift before I leave. You have good foundation. You should have come from the fighting field, and your strikes are ruthless. It's just that you relied too much on the knife, and your boxing skills lacked some intention, and you ended up falling behind. Look at you. I dare to take action to stop the horse, so I’ll give you some advice. Let’s see what the moves are.” Aunt Zhao said and struck down lightly with her palm.
Looking at the slowly approaching palm, Wu Gen's face turned red and he was ready to block the opponent's blow.
The world in front of me seemed to have slowed down. In the whole world, only this palm came overwhelmingly. I was as small as an earthworm, how could I block such power.
In an instant, Wu Gen thought of many ways to deal with it, but sadly found that no matter how he dealt with it, there was no way to avoid it.
This method has gone beyond the scope of boxing and palm techniques. This is a trend. Under this trend, any fancy means are in vain. It's not a question of whether to hide or not, but no matter how you hide, you are destined to be hit by this palm.
The blood all over his body was boiling, and Wu Genpo was so angry that he even punched with all his strength regardless of the opponent's power. Even if it is like a mayfly shaking a tree, it must be shaken. It has never been his temperament to sit and wait for death.
There was silence in front of the door, Wu Gen's body remained motionless as he punched. The edge of the fist was still one foot away from the edge of the palm, blood was bleeding from all the orifices, and he was already in a coma.
Aunt Zhao looked at Wu Gen with a complicated expression. With a wave of his hand, the breeze blew by, and Wu Gen woke up.
"Ouch." Wu Gen called out softly, and then he felt a tingling sensation all over his body.
"What, what did you see just now?" Aunt Zhao asked with a smile.
"I saw a mountain."
"This is my intention, to suppress everything."
"What is meaning?"
"Intention is something that comes from the heart, is strong with energy, and is guarded by posture. Everyone's intention is different and has its own merits. Boy, if you want to be fast, you should make a fuss about speed. If you want to be fierce, you should make a fuss about speed. Work hard. As for how to achieve your intention, there is no shortcut. Just box hard and practice it thousands of times, and your intention will appear on its own."
After pondering for a long time, Wu Gen cupped his hands and said, "Be taught."
"Go away, go away." Aunt Zhao waved her hands and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret, Qian Hua is not as weak as you think. She is a Qi practitioner, talented and intelligent. She has already Being favored by everyone in the practice, I just do it to take care of your face."
Wu Gen stiffened and walked slowly into the courtyard. I didn’t believe what Aunt Zhao said before, how could I not believe it now. With such a powerful person by his side, how could Zhu Qianhua be a soft-hearted woman?
Early the next morning, Wu Gen was thinking about how to resign when he heard Zhang Yuan's voice from the door. Well, maybe he was also transferred to the captain's mansion. He got up and hurriedly went out.
"Master Zhang, what kind of wind has brought you here? Maybe you committed a crime in the Xiang Army and were sent to the captain's mansion." Wu Gen smiled and greeted him.
"Go away, I'm here to get an errand. By the way, I think you're not happy here, so you might as well go out with me to relax." Zhang Yuan kicked him over and scolded with a smile.
"What's the matter? I'm not going to offer sacrifices again." A few days ago, I heard that Zhang Yuan had received some errand. It was so mysterious that even he himself didn't know much about it.
Looking around, Zhang Yuan whispered mysteriously: "The captain's office issued a military order to escort people to Guanxi City in Jinchun County. They passed by Xingluoyuan on the way. I was responsible for the escort together. Something happened suddenly , I couldn’t find any good helpers at the moment. The reward for this errand was quite generous. There was no big risk, so I thought of you."
"Who is escorting?" Wu Gen inquired.
Zhang Yuan scratched his head, "The superiors didn't say anything, they just said that he is a very important person. We are only responsible for the outside, and the guards led by this person are responsible for the internal defense."
Wu Gen's heart moved, and he gave him a pillow when he felt sleepy. He just took this opportunity to offload his errands at the captain's mansion. He raised his head and said, "It's all right. Why go to Xingluo Plain? It's a famous place of death."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "We don't know either. We just scratched one side of Xingluoyuan a little bit and didn't go deep. I guess it's not a big deal."
Wu Gen punched Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, "Okay, when will we set off? When you go to deliver the errand, just mention it and take me with you."
"We will set off in three days. Based on the distance we estimate, the journey will take more than a month at a fast pace and two months at a slow pace. It will be very leisurely."
"Okay, I understand. It's just a good time to make preparations in the next few days."
Saying goodbye to Zhang Yuan, Wu Gen went to school as usual. After class, Wu Gen looked around and walked quietly to Zhu Qian's painting window. "Senior Sister Zhu, I have some free time today. Well... how about we go to Lake Pipa to enjoy the scenery."
Zhu Qianhua was startled, glanced at him suspiciously, and secretly glanced in the direction of Aunt Zhao's room, "You go first."
After a while, the two met at the lake and walked together on the stone embankment.
"I......"
"you......"
The two spoke at the same time and were stunned for a moment, but it eased the awkward atmosphere.
"Speak first." Zhu Qianhua said with a smile on her face.
"I'm leaving." Wu Gen said after a moment of silence.
Zhu Qianhua glanced at the sparkling lake with sadness, "I know, but I never thought of it so quickly. Can you imagine where to go?" Suddenly turned his head, "Otherwise, I'll ask dad to write a letter and introduce you to the capital. .”
"No need, I have promised others to go out on an errand." Wu Gen reached out and picked out a willow leaf and held it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times, and the bitter taste filled his mouth.
"Oh, then, how long will it take to walk?" Zhu Qianhua lowered his head slightly and asked softly.
"How long, I don't know, maybe a few years."
"oh......"
The two walked to a pavilion by the lake. Zhu Qianhua sat in the pavilion and looked into the distance silently. A different kind of atmosphere rippled in the pavilion.
"Here, here you go." Wu Gen took out a bracelet and handed it over, his face flushed with embarrassment.
The bracelet is wrapped with a silk handkerchief. On the handkerchief, two spring geese are flying, and the green willows are green. Glancing at the silk handkerchief, Zhu Qian blushed and hesitated before taking it.
Taking out the bracelet, the body of the bracelet is hidden in the sunlight. It is emerald green, delicate and transparent, with a hint of rainbow light lingering around it. It is the jade quality of the green bamboo Dharmakaya.
"It's so expensive. Why spend so much money?" Zhu Qianhua said softly.
"As long as it looks good." Wu Gen said nothing and swayed around with his arms wrapped around his knees.
Putting the jade bracelet on his right arm, Zhu Qianhua looked delighted and looked around. The green color reflected on the slender jade arm was indescribably suitable.
"Be careful along the way. In a few days, my father and I will definitely go to the capital." Zhu Qianhua whispered, the sun shone on her face, and the girl looked a little lonely in the scattered light and shadow.
"Be careful. I am the one who wants to be the leader of the village. I am very lucky."
"..."
"Ahem, I'm just kidding. If everything goes well, I will go to the capital to find you."
"Um."
The setting sun stretched the silhouettes of the two people very long. The shadows fell in the water, and they seemed to be connected under the ripples of the water.
