Blood was flowing all over the Pang Mansion.
Two men dressed as literati, with two or three bamboo leaves and flying flowers on their sleeves, stepped up the steps. The black armor behind them seemed like a fish in the river, surrounding the entire Pang Mansion. They raised their swords and chopped out countless bloody flowers.
"Pang Lushan had a double-minded intention and took advantage of the emperor's illness to send his army to the capital. His crime is unpardonable. When the Yi tribe is removed from the three tribes, the guilty party will be executed on the spot."
The head rolled down, and Pang Qingfeng suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat.
For many days in a row, Pang Qingfeng did not sleep peacefully. It seemed that the painting on the desk was involved in his dream, replaying all the past events. The originally hazy scenes in his mind were not missing at all, and they were all hidden. The deepest part surges out suddenly and cannot be stopped. He was not a stupid person originally, but it was because of what happened at that time. For a child who was only six or seven years old, it was really difficult to bear the weight. After that day, although he escaped with his life, Pang Qingfeng soon died. He is a bit stupid and can no longer remember the world clearly. It is difficult to recall even the appearance of his parents.
For three or five days in a row, the scenery of the past came to me in my dreams. Even though Pang Qingfeng was mentally deficient, it was inevitable that he would remember a few things.
The man named Pang Lushan had no other intention when he returned to the capital with Baijia. He was just following orders. Furthermore, how could he dare to rebel against a mere hundred soldiers standing in the capital? Those two What the people in Qice Mansion said was just to incriminate him.
But Pang Qingfeng clearly remembered that after getting up from the old and shabby bed, his expression did not change. He just gritted his teeth and then stood up as usual, about to go to the tavern. His expression was still the same as before. Lehe, quite silly.
But before the young man could step out, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the door, trampling the morning.
Du Ruhui knocked on the door with a knife.
The young man inside the door did not open the door.
The spring rain that had been suppressed for two or three days finally fell into the world in small pieces.
"I didn't bring my hat or raincoat."
Pang Qingfeng's expression briefly changed two or three times, and finally he changed to a calm expression. He quickly opened the creaking wooden door and welcomed the woman into the room. He rubbed his hands and said in embarrassment, "The shopkeeper has something important to do today." I'll go to the tavern early. If the girl has something to do, can we discuss it in a few days? If all the monthly money is deducted, I will inevitably be hungry again at the end of the month."
Before the woman spoke, the young man happened to see the long knife with a dark scabbard on the woman's waist. Today, she had not brought it with her. Instead, there were two new knives that seemed to be slender. He smiled tentatively and said, "My lady's knife looks quite good. Whether it is the color of the scabbard or the quality, it is much better than the previous one. In the future, the comparison will add two points of beauty."
Du Ruhui turned a deaf ear and sat down on her own, not speaking for a long time.
Pang Qingfeng is still the same Pang Qingfeng, but among the ferocious envoys, there are also many young people who are spying for clues and looking for subtle skills. Du Ruhui is quite familiar with this silly waiter in the tavern. Now it seems that... In fact, there is not much stupidity at all. On the contrary, the look in his eyes is quite confusing, which definitely has nothing to do with stupidity.
But Du Ruhui didn't care. After a long silence, she opened her lips lightly.
"Yizhang Land occupies one of the nine places in the world, but it may not necessarily have a place for people to stay. People often say that it is a dangerous place and the most suitable place to stay. People with unpredictable methods may hide under their noses, but it is not possible. It’s easy for people to spot the clues, but in my opinion, it’s not a long-term solution.”
"In the early years, there was a deep mountain in Nanli. It had never been inhabited. However, it was located just inside the border pass and was heavily guarded all year round. There used to be many spies in Yi Zhang who were very capable and clever. They wanted to break in from this pass, but they were all defeated. I didn't succeed, so I had no choice but to give up." The woman turned around and looked calmly at the rather reserved Pang Qingfeng, and then looked at the desk, where the newly painted woman in red was more beautiful than before. In one picture, his expression was a few minutes closer, and his voice suddenly became softer, "You give me a painting, and I will give you peace of mind. At least for many years to come, you will no longer have to worry or pretend to be stupid. Although Nanli can't be said to be peaceful." , but no matter what, there is no need to deliberately suppress the murmurs during sleep, for fear of spilling the beans."
Pang Qingfeng was confused and blinked at the woman, seemingly not understanding her words.
"It's not a deliberate test. I went to Huchao Pavilion to buy it the day before yesterday. The young man gave me a few words. Sometimes the soldiers cross the river and directly attack the general's palace. However, compared with the constant constraints, The Pegasus is more useful. I have been among the ferocious warriors for many years. I am used to seeing dirty things and doing extremely cruel things. I have long been tired." Du Ruhui put down the two swords at his waist, and Du Ruhui turned out to be a long man. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The ferocious warriors mostly use one-handed swords, because the other hand is usually free to hold torches, pine oil, or pick up severed human heads, so no one has ever learned how to do it in Jianghu. People, practicing double swords, spears and spears, in the final analysis, is to facilitate doing dirty things."
Pang Qingfeng looked at the woman's relieved smile. For some reason, there was something moving in his heart. He barely suppressed his thoughts and kept waving his hands, "The girl's words are so mysterious. We really heard the clouds and mist. Although we have heard of the ferocious beast in the imperial city, I have always been a capable person in ordering officials to abide by the rules, but I have never seen this with my own eyes. If the girl is really among the emissaries in clothes, I should be more respectful."
"My return to the capital this time is considered unfavorable. In less than two days, a hideous envoy who has been deeply hidden in the capital will take over and eradicate the legacy of General Pang's mansion. The age of the master of Huchao Pavilion is You easily sat down in the seat of the helmsman of the Boyu Gang, but compared to the Nie Yi Shi and the Qice Mansion, the Boyu Gang is more important and more important, higher and lower, even if you are still a stupid person, you probably know it in your heart." Du Ruhui looked straight at the person in front of her and suppressed her smile, "There are two portraits of me on this table. I will give you two portraits of incense. Should you stay in the dangerous place of the capital and wait for death, or should you follow me to the deep mountains of Nanli?" , to spend the rest of your life, maybe you can rely on your skill as a painter to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life. The choice is all up to you."
In the village, a man stepped out of his house and looked into the thatched cottage with a worried expression. It was still dark, and the spring rain had already scattered on the ground. No one in the village got up. If you were interested, you would definitely be able to see that this man seemed to be missing half of his front teeth.
Two or three miles outside the capital, there were already two horses galloping on the official road, one old and one young.
Yunzhong drank too much last night, and this morning he was disturbed by the sound of Ling Tengqi knocking on the door. As soon as he opened the door of the pavilion, he was dragged out of the house by the old man. Half asleep and half awake, he got on his horse and ran out of the city in the cold spring rain.
Ling Tengqiyan said that he seemed to have seen the man who was missing half of his front teeth. When the Pang family was still in ruins, the old man often wandered in the streets. He once saw a teenage boy practicing boxing outside the Pang family's house. When practicing spear, although the bones of the body are still not solid, there are many ways to move, but there are already two or three points of power. I am curious, so I stepped forward to give instructions on two moves, but when I asked who this child was, The latter didn't say anything and walked directly into Pang's mansion. The old man originally wanted to give some instructions on one and a half moves, but was stopped by the servant Shouyuan, so he had to give up.
The children of those days were 60 or 70% similar to the ordinary slovenly men in the tavern today.
"Senior, are you saying that when the Pang family collapsed, apart from Pang Qingfeng, there was still a son alive?" The young man finally felt chilled by the cold spring rain. He shivered slightly and stepped forward to meet Ling Tengqi. Driving alongside, ask questions.
"You're not stupid, but it's a pity that you just don't want to think about it." Ling Tengqi casually wiped the rain off his face, "That girl is really just like what the four realms said, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Yi Zhang, and her heart has already receded. I mean, with Yi Zhangxiang's careful thoughts, he will definitely attract many ferocious envoys to come here to ensure that there is no life left in the ten deaths, and to eradicate all the evil left behind in Pang Mansion. By then, let alone you and me. Even if he is a half-disabled cultivator, he may not be able to save the lives of these two people from the hands of Qice Mansion, even if he is exchanged for a real person in the Third Realm."
Yun Zhong was horrified. The old man's words were brief, but it didn't take much thinking to figure out that there was no truth in his words. How could a person like Yi Zhangxiang's chess moves be estimated by ordinary people? It was one person who controlled the situation and stirred up the situation, not to mention the period when the emperor had not entered the situation. Yi Zhangxiang and Qice Mansion shared weal and woe, and firmly grasped the general trend. It was indeed a simple task to clean up the two of them around the capital of Yizhang. Although the woman in red turned into a variable, for Yi Zhangxiang, such a variable was nothing more than a lift of his hands.
Thinking about this, the horse's hooves become faster and faster.
The rain was noisy, beating on the thatched cottage.
Pang Qingfeng finally spoke, but he just answered the wrong question. He told all the complicated and complicated old things in his dreams for several days, including how the Pang family was destroyed and who pushed the hand behind him. The clearer the organization, the clearer the words. , there is no hint of stupidity at all, until he said that Du Ruhui's move would not be beneficial to the situation at all, and when the disaster was getting closer, the young man slowly stopped talking and looked calmly at the astonished man in red in front of him. woman.
"So, you and I are destined to not escape from this prison. Even if we set out now and walk non-stop all the way to the Yizhang border, there will definitely be many border guards blocking us. If things go wrong, Miss Du will also To be implicated and to suffer together with the legacy of my death that I deserved to die so many years ago, how can I be so virtuous and capable?"
The young man spoke softly, and somehow he raised his hand, using his rough palms covered with calluses and frostbite to wipe away the tears on the woman's cheeks, and smiled slightly, "Don't cry, I will finish these two paintings perfectly. When I see the paintings in the future, they will be like See me, but I’m still a little sorry.”
"When I was squatting on the side of the road, it would have been great if I had dared to say hello and get to know each other earlier. Unfortunately, things in this world often don't go as planned. Although I don't believe in Buddhism's theory of the afterlife and this life, it is true that there is reincarnation. , I must always remember to meet Miss Du earlier."
In the sound of spring rain, there is the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near.
Pang Qingfeng tidied up the objects on the table, including a small piece of pine ink, a good-quality writing brush, and a few pieces of pure white rice paper. He laughed dumbly, and also put away the ashes on the bottom of the pot, and looked at Woman's cheek.
Smiling like a child, happy and contented.
