After that night, there was a lingering day.
In the next few days, a pair of beautiful people appeared in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou.
The man was dressed in a green shirt, handsome and gentle.
The woman is wearing a red dress and looks stunning.
The two of them can be described as a handsome man and a beautiful woman. As they walked through the streets and alleys, they envied both women and men.
But envy is envy, the temperament of the two of them is extraordinary, just looking at them makes people feel inferior, and they just can't think of the other to replace them.
Of course, there must still be some bad guys who don’t have long eyes.
For example, Jiang Yunqing and the Empress chose a relatively clean alley and wanted to walk from one street to another.
As soon as they entered, someone immediately rushed out and blocked the exits on both sides.
There were nine people in total, five in the front and four in the back. They basically all held sticks in their hands. Only one person took out a dagger from his arms and hid it secretly behind his hand.
This man had lowered eyes and a hidden evil light. He was hiding behind the four people holding sticks in front of him, staring at every move of Jiang Yunqing and the Empress.
If these thugs with sticks are thugs, then this man with a dagger hidden in his eyes is a killer.
When it's quiet, it doesn't move, when it moves... I don't know, this guy hasn't done anything yet.
"Is this why you dragged me around the streets and alleys for so long?"
Jiang Yunqing glanced at the thugs blocking the road and asked tentatively.
In the past few days, the Empress pulled him through the streets and alleys, which attracted great attention. However, the Empress chose to ignore the streets and always go to the alleys when she encountered them.
Especially the kind that is long and narrow, winding and winding, with no main street visible from either end.
Of course, another prerequisite is that it must be clean.
Neither of them were mysophobia, but some alleys were really unsightly to look at, let alone walk in.
He thought that the empress wanted to take him to visit Yunzhou, but it seemed that he had not experienced any of Yunzhou's customs and customs in the past few days.
"Haven't you not appreciated the customs and customs of Yunzhou in the past few days? This is it. This is the common feature of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. They really like to catch charming foreign girls like me."
The empress looked at Jiang Yunqing with a bright smile, as if she wanted to hide her crystal crimson eyes, and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.
"What I want to experience is not this kind of customs and customs. Well, this can barely be considered a local characteristic!"
Jiang Yunqing felt confused about whether to laugh or cry for a moment. It was bitterly cold at the border. This situation was common in prosperous times.
Not to mention this troubled world, let alone meeting a beauty like the Empress who is rare but hard to find.
Some naive people can't bear it, and that's perfectly normal.
"Are you very reluctant? If you are very reluctant, today I will save the hero with beauty, but you have to commit yourself to me tonight. You know what I mean by committing myself to you."
The empress's smile remained unchanged, but her crescent-shaped eyes opened, and her crimson eyes looked at Jiang Yunqing meaningfully.
"It depends on whether you are willing to commit yourself to me tonight, or not. You should also know what I mean by committing myself to you, hehe!"
Jiang Yunqing met the empress' gaze and smiled playfully.
The empress cast a flirtatious look at Jiang Yunqing and said with a charming smile: "Then it depends on your performance!"
"okay!"
Jiang Yunqing responded readily, it seems that tonight...
At this time, a raging sound came from the alley behind Jiang Yunqing and the Empress.
"Is there someone inside?"
"It's right inside!"
The four ruffians blocking the entrance of the alley stepped out of the way, and one of the stronger ruffians, with a pockmarked face full of fawning expressions, waggled his tail like a domesticated dog and approached the person who was speaking.
"Boss Zhao, this guy is inside, but he doesn't take us seriously at all. He keeps flirting with us!"
This rogue's name is Wang Zhen. He has had many pockmarks on his face since he was a child. As he gets older, they become more and more pockmarked. Now, there is no clean spot on his entire face, not even one. There were so many of them on my face and body that I got the nickname Pockmarks.
As for this pimple, he has been ugly since he was a child, and he has no ambition to make progress. He is lazy in eating, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and his strong physique is in vain. Ordinary women, whether they know him or not, avoid him, so he It was only when all the women in Pingkangli turned off their lights after talking behind his back that they could be ruthless enough to serve him.
This made Zhu Mazi's heart very distorted. He couldn't see those handsome men, let alone those talented and beautiful strangers.
The companion next to him obviously knows what this son of a bitch is thinking. Isn't it just that he doesn't want to see others?
However, they didn't block the alley to do any good, so they didn't say anything. It was obvious that Zhan Mazi was begging for mercy, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.
When Boss Zhao came up, he saw a face full of pockmarks. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. He stretched out his hand to clasp the pockmarked face, threw it aside, and took a look at the situation in the alley.
Seeing that there was a tight blockage in front and behind, he stepped aside to get out of the way of the three thugs holding sticks, and strode into the alley with a swift and powerful stride.
At this time, Jiang Yunqing and the Empress also turned around after hearing the sound.
Seeing their appearance and figure, Boss Zhao was also stunned.
Just listening to the man saying that the woman is beautiful, this woman is so beautiful that she doesn’t look like an ordinary person. How can she be an ordinary person?
And this man, with his calm and extraordinary temperament, and his expression that didn't change at all when he saw him coming, doesn't it mean that he is extraordinary and confident?
What kind of good stuff is this?
This one is not good, I’m afraid it will be folded here!
These thoughts flashed through Boss Zhao's mind quickly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He said in a trembling voice: "You two..."
Suddenly, he saw the man in the alley smiling at him, and his mind began to become confused. He felt that his brain was a little unclear, as if he had forgotten many things, and seemed to have many more things.
By the way, who am I?
Immediately, a bunch of things came out of my mind, and the memory became clear instantly.
Oh~
My name is Zhao Lian, and I come from a poor family. My father died young and my mother is the daughter of a down-and-out scholarly family. My mother treated me very harshly.
He taught me how to read and write since I was a child, and he even saved me money to help me practice martial arts. I hope I can achieve great things in the future.
At the age of twenty, the world was already in chaos, and it was the time when a man could make a big difference with his martial arts. My mother, who became seriously ill in her thirties due to years of hard work, also wanted me to join the army so that I could make contributions.
But how could I leave my seriously ill mother to join the army?
In order not to anger my mother, I pretended to leave home and join the army. In order to treat my mother's illness, I changed my name to Zhao Train and joined a big gang in Yunzhou City as a thug.
During the six years that I stayed with my mother, I went against my mother's teachings and did many bad things against my will. Instead, I wrote to my mother and lied that I was rising in the military and that I was about to make a great contribution.
I learned martial arts, but I ended up working with the gangsters in the troubled village and working for those dirty things. I have some regrets, but I can guard my mother and watch her smile, even if I can only watch from a distance. I think it's worth it too.
But the good times didn't last long. A month ago, Kaicheng, the governor of Yunzhou, surrendered to the Khitan. My mother was worried about my safety in the Jin army. She suffered a full-scale illness and almost ran out of gas in less than half a month. I finally couldn't sit still and pretended to be... My good friend went to take care of my mother. I disguised myself very well, but my mother, who was a bit dazzled, recognized me at a glance.
My mother, who had run out of oil, had tears in her eyes. She was happy that I was safe and sound, but also saddened by my deception over the years. After angrily scolding me for what I had done was the greatest unfilial piety, she left with tears in her eyes.
I was confused for half a month, and then I accepted a job and led people to block the alley...
Countless memories flashed through his mind one by one. Zhao Lian seemed to have passed a lifetime, but in reality it was only that moment that passed.
Jiang Yunqing's eyes dimmed, and the smile on his face slowly faded. His expression darkened, and he shouted: "Zhao Lian, how long will you continue to be ignorant? Are you worthy of your mother's hard teachings?"
"ah!"
Zhao Lian woke up suddenly, and the focus in his eyes reappeared.
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Zhao Lian, who was standing there with a strong back and a strong back, suddenly became panting like an ox, and hot sweat continued to break out all over his body. In just a few breaths, he was sweating profusely, soaking his clothes.
All the gangsters looked at Zhao Lian as if he had seen a ghost. How could the perfectly good Boss Zhao be out of breath and sweating profusely in the blink of an eye?
What I knew was that it only took a while, but those who didn't know thought it was a three-hundred-round battle.
Things were so weird that these rogues, who were not very smart, didn't react for a while, but they didn't make any moves.
Of course, if Jiang Yunqing moved and Zhao Lian became like this, they would have run away.
Is this just the case now?
It's a bit unbelievable. The tall pretty boy seems to know Boss Zhao, but Boss Zhao doesn't have a mother. Wasn't his mother angry to death by Boss Zhao a few years ago?
After a while, while these scoundrels were still brainstorming, Zhao Lian seemed to have regained his breath. He was still a little out of breath, but it was much calmer than the wheezing he had just now.
"Thank you sir for reminding me, Zhao Lian is ashamed of his mother!"
Zhao Lian raised his head, looked at Jiang Yunqing with red eyes, and bowed his hands respectfully.
His mind felt that the gesture of saluting was extremely familiar, but his body's gesture of saluting was very unfamiliar. He felt something was wrong, but he remembered what he had done over the years.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: After spending all these years with ruffians, I have become unfamiliar with the etiquette taught by my mother. I really feel ashamed of my mother!
Thinking of this, the guilt in my heart became even more intense, and there seemed to be tears in my red eyes.
"Since I can wake you up, I have a way for you to make up for your mother's regrets. Are you willing to believe me?"
Seeing Zhao Lian's appearance, the serious expression on Jiang Yunqing's face disappeared, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly into a happy smile.
It seemed that he was pleased with Zhao Lian's sudden awakening.
"I believe, I believe, I believe sir!"
Zhao Lian raised his hand to wipe away the lingering tears from the corner of his eyes. As if grasping the last straw, he knelt directly in front of Jiang Yunqing and kowtowed three times with "dong dong dong".
"Get up! Take this and come to Qiyun Tower to find me tomorrow!"
Jiang Yunqing leaned over and helped Zhao Lian up, took out a jade talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lian.
Zhao Lian was stunned for a moment, then he held the jade talisman as if he had found a treasure and thanked Jiang Yunqing: "Thank you sir, thank you sir, thank you sir!"
"Well, that's it for today, see you tomorrow!"
Immediately, Jiang Yunqing took the hand of the empress, who was also a little stunned, and turned around to continue walking to another street.
"Do you know each other?"
The empress raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yunqing, confused.
"I don't know!" Jiang Yunqing shook her head gently.
While talking, the two came to the entrance of the alley.
The gangsters at the entrance of the alley are still thinking that Boss Zhao's name is not Zhao Train, why is he called Zhao Lian? When did Boss Zhao change his name? Why don't they know anything about such a big name change?
But they were stunned by the bright red dress, and they all came back to their senses immediately.
But when I came back to my senses, I had a new question. Aren't they blocking the entrance of the alley? Why did you step aside and make way?
Why was this person almost walking out of the alley all of a sudden, or walking past them?
It was a bit unbelievable, but it was obvious that they could no longer sit still and wait for death. They ran towards the outside of the alley, trying to stop the man and the woman before they walked out of the alley.
But among the gangsters, the man with hanging eyes had a flash of horror in his eyes, followed by a fierce light.
He didn't know why Zhao Train went crazy, but he knew how the gangsters around him stepped aside. It was a strange force that pushed these people aside silently.
In order not to alert others, he followed these ruffians and retreated to both sides of the alley just for this opportunity.
He knew that this man was dangerous, and his intuition told him to a certain extent, but that ridiculously beautiful woman was too valuable.
The sharp dagger rotated in the air in the palm of the hand. The sharp blade appeared, and the cold light bloomed, and it stabbed towards Jiang Yunqing's heart with lightning speed.
The empress frowned slightly. She was aware of the movement, but seeing that Jiang Yunqing did not move, she did not move at all. She knew very well that an attack of this level could not cause harm to Jiang Yunqing.
Seeing that the dagger was about to come within three inches of Jiang Yunqing's chest, a sudden strong wind roared, and a figure came fiercely. He pressed his broad palm on the face of the man with hanging eyes and smashed him against the wall next to him.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the man's head sank slightly into the wall.
The figure also appeared clearly, it was Zhao Lian, and he was still roaring: "Who do you think you are, you dare to hurt sir?"
"Sir, let's go first. I'll leave this place to you. Don't let these scoundrels get in your eyes!"
Zhao Lian said respectfully to Jiang Yunqing, then turned around and looked at the group of thugs with a fierce look.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you!"
Jiang Yunqing did not turn around, and said politely with the same calm expression, but without any pause in his movements, he led the empress straight out of the alley.
Zhao Lian's voice came from behind: "You're welcome, sir!"
The voice was very respectful, but the last note was a bit cruel.
Walking out of the alley and seeing the sun again, Jiang Yunqing consciously held up an oil-paper umbrella to protect the empress from the sun.
The empress couldn't help but be curious and asked again: "How could it be?"
Jiang Yunqing smiled, but that smile was a little unpredictable.
"You can understand that I just became an eminent monk and converted Zhao Lian, and now Zhao Lian put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately!"
pS: Four thousand today, making up for the missing chapter yesterday.
