"Boom——"
The rain does not stop, the wind never stops.
At night, the sound of raindrops made me feel uneasy at all.
In the capital city, inside a courtyard.
There are Jin Yiwei who control all the movements in the surrounding area.
I saw them wearing coir raincoats and embroidered spring knives tied at their waists, standing upright on both sides of the courtyard.
In the house, the lights are brightly lit.
"Wow——"
Accompanied by thunder and lightning, a figure holding an umbrella appeared on the ground in an instant.
Amidst the heavy rain, a crisp sound of copper bells kept echoing in everyone's ears.
Everyone noticed it and immediately locked their eyes on the visitor.
In the distance, a graceful figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Holding a red oil-paper umbrella, the umbrella droops, and small copper bells are hung around the umbrella.
Although it was a night of heavy rain and thunder, the sound it made was still very clear.
Perhaps on purpose, the umbrella actually hid half of the woman's face. Under the umbrella, only thin, delicate and confident vermilion lips were exposed. The white cheeks looked strange due to the reflection of the umbrella.
Wearing a half-red kimono with plum blossoms, she looked a bit charming and enchanting.
Walking slowly with bare feet, he came towards the crowd.
"Who! Stop!" The knife in his hand gradually revealed half of its blade as the woman approached.
The leader's sharp shout did not stop the woman from moving forward, but instead made her move faster. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and along with a burst of weird laughter coming from the surrounding area, the woman's footsteps became even weirder and faster. No one could see her steps clearly.
Like an evil ghost seducing the soul, its figure flickers.
This damn atmosphere made everyone's hands start to tremble when they drew their swords, and it was so difficult.
This was the first time they had seen the ghostly figure in their lives.
Just a few steps away from everyone, the woman disappeared in front of everyone.
"Be vigilant! The witch appears again and will be killed without mercy!"
As the voice fell, the sound of copper bells could be heard nearby. The sound was very close, as if it was beside them.
"Are you looking for me?"
The leader felt a rush of hot air coming from his ears, accompanied by an enchanting laughter that echoed throughout the night sky.
Everyone looked up at the night sky, and the rain disappeared above their heads. It was as if someone was holding an umbrella for them invisibly.
Just when everyone looked up at the night sky and felt strange,
"Whoosh!"
The red oil-paper umbrella rotates.
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
Countless tiny white lines shot out from around the umbrella, piercing everyone's throats.
The white line instantly turned into bloodshot threads, guiding the blood flow to converge on the umbrella surface.
In less than a moment, everyone fell to the ground.
"Squeak——"
The door was opened.
There were several royal guards in the room, and behind them were several sealed boxes.
I saw those slender legs stepping into the room. This extremely attractive figure made everyone hold Xiuchun knives, but they did not dare to step forward to fight with it. What appeared in front of them, apart from the scarlet lips, were the slender legs.
"Don't be nervous! I'm just here to retrieve these boxes. I don't like killing people. Besides! You will be needed later!" As she said that, the woman put her hand on the man in front of her. The back of Jin Yiwei's hand holding an embroidered spring knife. As the slender hand passed across the back of the hand, the originally trembling hand no longer trembled.
"when--"
——
As the embroidered spring knives slipped from the hands of several Jin Yiwei, their eyes began to dim, losing their air and becoming a bit more ghostly.
Turning around and walking to the box, he actually lifted the box and headed out the door.
In the palace, the royal study.
The purple dragon robe makes the person in front of you look more noble. The majestic and noble aura makes people dare not approach easily.
"Hmph! How brave!" The man threw the memorial in front of Cao Yanqing's eyes, turned around and said angrily: "Is stealing official silver so blatant?"
After saying that, his eyes showed a cold light, and he squeezed out a few inviolable glances and shot them diagonally at Cao Yanqing, who was kneeling on the ground behind him.
Cao Yanqing suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent, and his body trembled from the sharp gaze.
"Tell me! Are they humans or ghosts? How did they steal official silver under our noses?"
"Slave - I don't know." Qu Changqing swallowed and said carefully.
As soon as these words came out, the person in front of him suddenly had wolf-like eyes and angry cheeks. His slightly dark cheeks could not hide his overbearing aura. In an instant, he turned from anger to joy. He turned around and squatted down to face Cao Cao in front of him. Yanqing said: "You said once this person lies, is there any way to know whether he is telling the truth or a lie?"
How could Cao Yanqing not know the meaning of his words? He was forced to lower his head further to try to avoid this cold light.
Little did he know that Cao Yanqing's actions had completely angered the person in front of him. As he narrowed his eyes, tens of thousands of ways to die flashed through his mind. However, he didn't let go. He just chuckled, which made Cao Yanqing's hands tremble with fear.
He stood up and said disdainfully to Cao Yanqing: "Get up!"
"Why don't we leave this job to you!" Before Cao Yanqing could reply, he added: "Remember! Only you are allowed to know about this matter, and the news must not be leaked! No matter what methods and means you use , as long as we can recover the stolen silver, we will not pursue you for the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you understand?"
"My slave understands! My slave understands!"
"Yeah! That's good! Go ahead!"
"Slave, please resign!"
Looking at the departing figure, he turned to look at the figure flashing out from behind the curtain. With a look, the man immediately understood and followed him away.
Cao Yanqing, who came out of the imperial study, looked back, swallowed hard, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and hurried out of the palace gate.
Zhao Yunxi, who had come down from Xiantan Mountain, found a cave at the foot of the mountain to escape the heavy rain, and had been sheltering from the rain for several days.
Being penniless, he had no choice but to take the prey from the mountains to make a living.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the cave entrance. Zhao Yunxi stood up to inspect the cave entrance, and when he was about to exit, a figure came towards him and seemed to have crashed into his arms.
"Huh!"
The visitor turned out to be a white-faced little scholar dressed in white and carrying a box on his shoulder. Seeing Zhao Yunxi, he gave out a false alarm, patted his chest, and said: "I didn't expect there are people living in this cave! Sorry! Sorry!"
"fine!"
This scholar was somewhat unfamiliar, but his beautiful face was somewhat similar to the woman who appeared in Yuzhou City that day. But the difference is that this man's face is fair and delicate, and his eyes are full of water vapor, which makes people feel a bit affectionate. If she were a woman, not to mention the power of a country, she would definitely be comparable to Ruoshuiyou, who was known as Little Zhuge in Yuzhou City.
"May I ask what you call me?" the fair-faced boy asked Zhao Yunxi with his fists clasped.
"My surname is Zhao and my first name is Yunxi."
"Hello, Brother Zhao, Xiaoke's surname is Lan, and his last name is Ling."
After the two chatted for a while, they sat down and grilled meat.
"Come! There is still a long way from here to the city, so why not satisfy your hunger first and get on your way later!" With that said, Zhao Yunxi handed a piece of roasted rabbit meat to Lan Ling.
Seeing the huge piece of rabbit meat, Lan Ling felt a little embarrassed and seemed a little at a loss.
"What, are you afraid that I will drug you?"
"That's not true!" Lan Ling pointed at the rabbit meat in front of him and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's just that the rabbit meat is too big. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all by myself and it will be wasted!"
"That's no problem!" Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi took off the rabbit leg and handed it over. Lan Ling quickly thanked him and caught it.
"I said you are quite brave in this barren mountain! Aren't you afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards?" Zhao Yunxi said to Lan Ling who was standing aside.
"It's nothing to be afraid of, because I have a way to drive away wild beasts!"
"Ouch! It has to be so magical!" Zhao Yunxi was slightly curious and asked: "I don't know what the method is, let me tell you!"
"This method is just a family secret. Forgive me for not being able to share it with you. I hope Brother Zhao can understand it!" Lan Ling said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" After saying that, Zhao Yunxi felt a little more sad, and after a long sigh, he said: "After all, everyone has a secret of their own."
"It seems that Brother Zhao has suffered a lot before he sighs like this, right?" Lan Ling guessed.
"That's right!" Zhao Yunxi changed the subject and asked Lan Ling: "I wonder who Brother Lan is from, and why did he go to this mountain to look for medicinal herbs?"
"Xiao Ke is a native of Jing'an, with a single ancestry. When I was born, my parents unfortunately passed away, leaving only my grandfather and me to depend on each other. My grandfather practiced medicine throughout his life and helped countless patients. He was afraid that I would have no one to rely on in the future. He had no one to rely on, so he taught me his whole life's hard work. When he achieved some success, he passed away. I was left to run around alone."
"So, you and I are somewhat similar."
"Brother Zhao is also alone?"
Zhao Yunxi nodded and said: "Maybe I am the reincarnation of the Lone Star of Heavenly Evil! Everyone who is close to me has left because of me. They still remember me until they die. I am pitiful but there is nothing I can do. I watched them leave me helplessly. This feeling is something I still dare not forget to this day.”
"Don't blame yourself too much! Everything is destined, and it has nothing to do with you, me or him. Human beings are born as chess pieces in the world. The only thing we do is to live in the present, not thinking about the past, and not being afraid of the future. , live up to the rest of your life.”
"You're right! It's a pity that I can't let it go, and I'm a nostalgic person."
"No one in the world is nostalgic. It's just that we can see it or not, so why should we be so entangled in the past!" After saying that, Lan Ling picked up the wooden box and said, "Just like me. Although they have passed away, He left, but left me endless wealth. The hanging pot helps the world and heals the common people, and his wonderful hands rejuvenate and relieve ailments."
"That's true! It seems that what they left for me is probably the same hanging pot to help the world!" Zhao Yunxi remembered the mystery that had not been revealed before - the yellow golden dragon handkerchief.
"When praising doctors for rescuing people from illness, the most important thing is to help the world. There are so many ways to help the world, it just depends on how we choose. Or we may just enter the official career and serve the country and the people. Or we may use the sword to save lives and heal the wounded." Lan Ling quite said Said with emotion.
"You know a lot, don't you?"
"Haha! It's just a reflection on life!"
As the bonfire gradually died down, both of them fell into deep thought. It wasn't until the cold wind hit that Zhao Yunxi felt that he had lost his composure, so he left the cave on the pretext of looking for firewood.
[Questions: 1. Who is the woman in red who appears? Did she really steal the official silver?
2. Could the appearance of Lan Ling be a coincidence? What consequences will his appearance bring to Zhao Yunxi? 】
