After passing the Green Belt City and heading south, you will pass by a small town. After passing the small town, you will reach Qingqian City on the Baili Road.
The night is dark.
Guiliu was wearing a scarlet snow shirt, with long snow-white hair hanging freely, and carrying the snow-white Zhu Xian on his back.
His temperament is out of the ordinary, and his appearance is like that of an immortal.
Behind him, only a few steps away, a woman followed him unhurriedly, seemingly a little reserved and uneasy.
Along the way, the two of them didn't speak a word, so they probably didn't know each other well.
After the earth-shattering battle in Greenbelt City, although Gui Liu was seriously injured, all the blood congestion that had been severely blocked in the body was drained out, and the Taoist golden elixir reshaped his bones and flesh. Therefore, not only did the root cause of the disease not fall into place, but it was a blessing in disguise, and he succeeded. Established a firm foothold in the early stage of the fourth grade.
After parting ways with Guiliu, Qin Fang did not return to Beijing immediately, but pursued the Lotus Crown Taoist. Even though the Taoist Cave Master had magical powers and could shrink to an inch, Qin Fang still used all his strength to catch up. Finally, Qin Fang "begged" for a spiritual book and a small box of sandalwood from the Lotus Crown Taoist, and sent them to Gui Liu before returning to the capital.
At the moment, the flow of flowers makes slight marks on the snow, and the flow of Qi can be seen between spitting out and taking in. This is a unique Taoist breathing method. If you practice it for a long time, you can temper your body and purify your mind. This has little effect on ordinary warriors, but it is of great use to Gei Liu.
Why?
Because Zhao Bingnie woke him up with one sentence, saying that he was too violent.
Gui Liu suddenly squinted his eyes and could already vaguely see the light of the fire. He should be Xinghua Town in front of him. When you get to the place, you can take a look at the Taoist orthodox mental method. Since it was given by the Lord of the Cave, it is probably a rare treasure.
Guiliu deliberately slowed down his pace.
The woman was originally in a daze, but before she knew it, she was walking side by side with the man.
The corners of Guiliu's lips raised, pretending to be intentional but not intentional, he bumped into her slightly.
The woman looked confused and confused, like a young elk. Guiliu just tilted his head and smiled, saying nothing.
Not long after, the woman was a little confused by Gei Liu. Just when she was about to speak, she felt a light body and was picked up.
"Put me down."
The woman was timid and weak, not sure whether she was afraid of falling or of this frivolous man.
"No." Guiliu took a step forward and said lazily: "You walked so slowly that when you arrived at Xinghua Town, you couldn't even eat. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You'd better hug me tight, otherwise you'll fall to the ground. If you fall and get hurt, I won’t be responsible.”
Hearing this, the woman quickly hugged Guiliu's neck.
Gui Liu suddenly stopped.
The next second, he flew out directly!
The extremely nervous woman didn't know how happy and romantic the man holding her at the moment was after reaching the fourth rank and fighting a life and death battle in Green Belt City.
Because at least, he is no longer the trash in his own mind.
The cold wind is hunting, and Gui Liu's eyes are burning.
In this journey through the world, the fourth rank is just the beginning. We have to go higher, the fifth rank? Sixth grade? enough? Far from enough!
Just like my mother said, hold the Zhuxian in your hand and be majestic.
Be stronger than Gui Qing, otherwise you won’t have the shame to go back!
Guiliu looked at her in his arms, his eyes flashed with golden light,
"Do you want to experience flying a sword for ninety thousand miles?"
The woman's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Zhu Xian, who had been silent since the battle in Green Belt City, suddenly unsheathed himself at this moment.
A streak of white snow shoots straight into the sky.
Above the ninety-thousand-mile sea of clouds, there is a mighty strong wind, and someone is walking with a sword, with an astonishing momentum.
...
...
In Xinghua Town, many people saw a streak of white snow falling straight down, not knowing where it landed. There was a young Taoist priest who was setting up a stall in the corner. He was reading the palm of a girl, touching left and right, sighing secretly, his soft little hands were really soft and tender, and then he was hit by a sword light falling from the sky. .
The young Taoist hurriedly patted his clothes, feeling lingering fear. Fortunately, he had to carry a protective peach charm with him, otherwise he would be injured and disabled even if he was not dead.
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Stop trying to take advantage of this little girl. Go back to the palace and help my mother look after something."
Somewhere in the town, Gui Liu took back Zhu Xian and gently put the woman down. Unexpectedly, the woman's legs became weak and she fell to the ground.
Guiliu quickly helped her up and helped her clean the dust on her fox fur.
As for the tears on the woman's face, he didn't pay attention at all.
The woman covered her chest with one hand and her mouth with the other. Her red and moist eyes wanted to eat Gui Liu.
But that's all. She felt helpless and desolate in her heart. The man in front of him is the most noble crown prince of the Dajing Dynasty and the future emperor and co-lord. And what about yourself? She's just a poor woman from a prisoner's home.
Guiliu supported the woman and did not say a word to comfort or urge her. He just quietly looked at the distant water.
There are many painted and singing boats there, some have already left the shore, some have not yet left the shore, some have already received passengers, and some have not been able to attract guests.
Soaring straight into the sky, and then falling straight down, this thrilling sword-wielding flight almost scared the woman out of her soul. She waited for a while, then finally raised her body, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Let's go."
"What do you want to eat?" Guiliu glanced at her.
"Whatever." The woman replied coldly.
There are not many people in Xinghua Town. It thrives on the water, so naturally it is not very prosperous. Especially now that night is approaching, there are few pedestrians on the street and it is quite deserted. Many shops have even closed their signs.
Guiliu looked around and finally found a noodle shop with a relatively good environment. After a long day of traveling, being hungry in the wind, snow and bitter cold, being able to eat a steaming bowl of noodles is simply a comfort to the soul.
The woman had a cold face, but her hand was suddenly taken by the man next to her, and she was forced to run into the noodle shop without any explanation.
When the waiter in the store saw this pair of men and women in extraordinary clothes, he mistakenly thought that they were a match made in heaven between two wealthy families. He showed even more enthusiasm and utilitarianism. He put on a smile and asked, "Two guests, what would you like to eat?"
Guiliu looked at the wooden sign for the dishes for a while, then smiled and said: "Two bowls of Yangchun Snow Noodles, another jar of wine, and a cup of hot water for my wife."
"Okay, you sit down first." The waiter said and ran to the kitchen.
The two sat down and the woman withdrew her hand forcefully.
Guiliu said with a smile: "Being my wife has wronged you?"
The woman spoke calmly, "Your Highness has a noble status, and I dare not reach out to you as a concubine."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and it turned out that the waiter who had just run to the kitchen ran back. A jar of wine was placed in front of Gui Liu, and another cup of hot water was placed next to Gui Liu's hand with understanding.
Guiliu smiled and took out a piece of broken silver, "There is no need to change the wine money."
The waiter in the shop took the piece of silver and was ecstatic, "Thank you, sir!"
There were only a few tables of people in the noodle shop, and it was very cold.
Geiliu picked up the cup of hot water and gently placed it next to the woman's hand, seemingly unnecessary.
"Are you freezing today? Have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."
The woman glanced at him and already guessed what he was going to say next, but she still took a small sip.
As expected, the next second, Guiliu smiled and said, "Look how much I care about you."
The woman put down the cup and suddenly spoke softly in a gentle tone: "Your Highness,"
She was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath, as if she mustered up the courage to say something.
But before he spoke, Guiliu narrowed his phoenix eyes and said in a suddenly cold tone, "I advise you to eat quietly and don't cause trouble to yourself."
The woman put down one hand slumped, her red lips trembling, her eyes red with tears.
Soon, the waiter came to Giliu's table with two steaming bowls of Yangchun Snow Noodles. Seeing the woman's expression on the verge of tears, he was stunned for a moment, quietly glanced at the white-haired man's face, closed his mouth and left quietly.
Gui Liu was the first to use his chopsticks, not forgetting to drink leisurely, but the cold temperament he exuded was really chilling.
The woman lowered her head and ate the noodles in small bites, her eyes blurred with tears, and the bowl of noodles was always salty.
By the time Gui Liu finished the entire bowl of noodles, the woman hadn't even eaten half of the bowl.
"You eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, I'll wait for you outside."
With that said, Geiliu took the jar of wine, walked out of the noodle shop and sat on the stone steps, drinking alone in front of the moon.
His eyes once again looked at the glimmering water in the distance. The water flowing through this Xinghua Town was also the water of the Yao River.
Who said that the waves are just one river? I already feel that the mountains and rivers are two villages.
Many sailing boats and singing boats have already left the shore, and the lights are dimly visible, and some noisy pipa sounds and the sounds of gongs and cups can still be heard vaguely.
Whenever he thinks of Yaojiang, he thinks of Chunxian Tower and that lazy, gentle and charming woman.
They are also women, and their situation is equally miserable.
Why?
Guiliu took a sip of strong wine, and the haze in his heart caused by the woman just now dissipated a lot.
Not long after, the woman came out and saw him sitting on the steps. After hesitating for a moment, she also sat down gently.
Geiryu joked: "The skirt will get dirty."
The woman rested her chin on her knees and said softly: "It doesn't matter."
Guiliu narrowed his eyes, put down his wine glass, and took a bite out of her face. Afterwards, he helped her wipe away the water stains and said with a smile: "It smells so good."
Since her departure from Greenbelt City, facing all kinds of frivolous teasing, the woman has always been patient and obedient, as gentle as a little raccoon slave. But at this moment, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried, raising her hand to slap the man in the face hard.
He could even feel the sharp palm wind, but Guiliu remained motionless and expressionless.
The hand was obviously close to Chi Chi, but it stopped sluggishly.
The woman was limp and her smile was bleak. Yes, the whole world can't do anything to him. I'm just a miserable woman with a low life, so what can I do to him?
Guiliu gently pushed her hand away and said in an indifferent tone: "It is an indisputable fact that your father formed a gang, caused clique wars, harmed the court, and almost caused a catastrophe. The prime minister and all the officials jointly submitted a letter to ask for a resolution, and the censor Taihe Liuke announced eight major crimes against Wang Gongqiao one after another. The whole court pointed the finger at your father alone. You followed me all the way and were obedient to me. You could do whatever I wanted. You just wanted to borrow from me. With your own hands, you can rescue your morally corrupt father, or save the powerful Wang family that has long been corrupted. Saying that you admire my style and are willing to be my maid is a lie. Wanting to save the entire Wang family is your true purpose."
"The Wang family was raided, and the family members were implicated in nine out of ten cases. They were either imprisoned, sent to exile, or escaped from the disaster. As the daughter of a guilty minister, you, Wang Sizhi, should have been sent to the Buddhist Temple to worship the Buddha according to regulations. And the reason why you are able to do so today You should be grateful to my mother for following me to Xinghua Town and not being arrested by the officials. My mother felt pity for you when she thought that you were a woman who suffered a family breakdown and a difficult life."
Guiliu narrowed his golden eyes and said in a suddenly cold tone, "The Wang family deserved the fate they have met today. My mother saved you once out of pity for the Wang family. And you came to beg me and wanted me to save the Wang family. Being greedy is shameless.”
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she begged: "I don't care about others. Please, save my father. I can do anything you ask me to do, even if I am a slave or a concubine, I am willing to do it."
Geiliu sneered, "You won't want to. I don't want a corpse that is an eyesore."
The woman suddenly turned pale.
She quietly held the hairpin.
Since you can't control your life, at least you have to control your life.
With tears streaming down her face, she resolutely grasped the hairpin and stabbed it into her neck.
"Don't die."
Only half an inch away from the skin, her hand holding the hairpin was clamped.
Guiliu said softly: "Your father is destined to die. But I will try my best to let you see him one last time."
The woman suddenly raised her head, widened her eyes, and begged: "Let me see my father, just one glance."
Geiliu took a cold breath, "You are willing to pay any price, right?"
The woman's face was filled with tears, "Yes, I am willing to do anything! I am willing to be a slave, a concubine, a servant and a maid, I am willing to do it!"
Guiliu gently wiped the woman's red lips and spoke softly, "The reason why I help you is not because I have ulterior motives for you and try to take advantage of you. Whether you believe it or not, it's not just you. If you stand today If there are others in front of me, I will still help them."
"My mother said that a woman's life is the most difficult one. I understand this sentence very well. I have four maids. Taozhi has lost her relatives since she was a child, Qingxue was abandoned by her parents when she was born, Qiuli Niang Her father died giving birth to her prematurely. Her father thought she was a disaster, so he sold his daughter to bury his wife. Fortunately, my mother saved her. Only Jin Zhi was slightly better. Both her parents were simple farmers and loved her very much. However, He also passed away a few days ago.”
"Have you seen those paintings of singing boats? I know how unfair this world is to women. It is extremely difficult for women who cannot help themselves. Today you are just a microcosm of thousands of them. So I am willing to help you, not because I covet your beauty, but just because of my mother’s words and the persistence in my heart.”
Guiliu suddenly tilted his head and smiled, "You are good-looking. Isn't it amazing?"
The hand that had wiped the red lips suddenly pinched the woman's chin hard, and finally tore off a piece of exquisitely crafted dough.
Beneath the face is the true face of a woman.
Guiliu couldn't help but clicked her tongue, "She's so beautiful. She deserves to be one of the beauties on the list."
The woman trembled and said, "You bit me just now just to test this?"
"You're not stupid." Guiliu rubbed her head.
Suddenly, Yi Geliu's voice sounded in the woman's heart, but it was a bit out of place.
"This time I traveled far away. Even if my mother had the heart to let go, she couldn't really turn a blind eye. There are too many people in the world who want to kill me. They might be everywhere, or they might be hiding in some dark corner. . During these days, there has always been a person following me secretly. He is well hidden and well-trained. He should be a rare master in the imperial city and must be my mother's confidant. But I am sure that when we arrive in Qing Qiancheng, if you leave the Gyeonggi area, he will not follow you anymore. I believe in my mother, and I believe that my mother also believes in me."
The woman was stunned for a moment, a little confused after hearing this.
Guiliu smiled and suddenly said: "Do you love me or not?"
The woman was stunned and speechless. She suddenly woke up and saw the shape of his mouth. She murmured a few words and blushed with embarrassment.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Guiliu urged.
She finally plucked up the courage and said loudly: "Love!"
Gui Liu suddenly got very close to the woman's face.
Then the next second, her eyes suddenly widened and she panicked.
The waiter, who was about to take a breather outside the store, saw this scene and was stunned. He quickly turned around and muttered: "See no evil, see no evil."
That night, a secret message was sent back to the capital and placed on the desk in the emperor's palace.
Qin Fang opened it gently, and then her hands trembled.
Black characters on a white background, just a few sentences.
"Your Highness and the guilty minister's daughter fell in love with each other, and they kissed to confirm their trust."
"Inn accommodation is also a room."
