The moon hid in the gaps in the clouds, as if it couldn't bear to see the sorrow and separation in this world.
"Go back." Pei Liang was silent for a long time and then said.
The equally silent woman in his arms nodded slightly.
Pei Liang immediately hugged the woman's waist, touched the city wall with his toes, and floated down in the air.
"who?"
As soon as the soldiers guarding the city shouted, several arrows shot out quickly.
Pei Liang didn't even look at it. He connected it with one hand and broke it off at will.
When there was no movement below the city, the few sergeants on duty dared to poke their heads out.
"Hey, he met a martial arts master again!"
A soldier holding a bow and arrow clicked his tongue.
"It's been really crazy lately. I meet these people every once in a while."
"No, is it possible that they are coming to Yujing to hold a martial arts conference?"
"This is the emperor's feet. What master can defeat thousands of troops?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't be heard."
….
The next morning, Pei Liang and Yaoniang left the inn and headed north.
Finally, in an inconspicuous alley, Pei Liang bought a courtyard with two entrances under the pseudonym Zeng Cheng.
After cleaning up, I went out to buy some daily necessities.
"Until the situation becomes clear, you should stay in seclusion for the next few days and have a good rest at home!"
After Pei Liang finished explaining Yaoniang, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Yaoniang asked hurriedly.
"I'm going to do something and I'll be back in the evening."
"I'm scared to be alone at home. What if someone comes to my door?"
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful these people are, they won't be able to find this place for a while."
"Hmm... Hey Pei Liang"
The man who had already stepped one foot over the threshold turned around when he heard this.
Yaoniang's beautiful eyes flashed with sadness: "You don't want to leave without saying goodbye and leave me here alone."
Pei Liang smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I scolded you, will you be angry with me?" Yaoniang asked again in a low voice.
Pei Liang came over and touched the woman's head.
"I'm sorry, I always lose my temper with you. I know I was wrong..."
Yaoniang's eyes turned red as she spoke and she lowered her head.
Pei Liang sighed and suddenly approached the woman's round earlobe: "Okay, stop pretending."
"Stinky Pei Liang, get back here!"
In the shy and annoyed roar of the woman behind the gang
The young man ran away quickly.
Yaoniang chased him into the yard, but still couldn't catch a piece of his clothes.
She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and kept panting, but as she thought about it, a smile appeared on the woman's face.
Brat, your eyes are quite poisonous!
Pei Liang hid in the dark and looked at the charming look of the woman in the courtyard, with gentle eyes and a smile on his lips. He waited until the woman returned to the house and confirmed that there was no movement around him before he actually turned around and left.
Yaoniang was alone at home. She tidied the house briefly and wiped all the places that needed to be wiped. Then she laid out the newly purchased mattress and locked the valuable luggage into the wooden box.
I ran to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water. I hadn't taken a shower in the past few days, and my whole body felt uncomfortable.
When the naked Yaoniang soaked in the water, her fatigue disappeared instantly. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented relaxation.
The hazy water mist is like smoke from the past, coming one after another...
The girl who ran up the mountain looked at the unrecognizable corpses of her parents in horror and was so frightened that she was at a loss.
On countless nights when she was awakened by nightmares, the only thing accompanying the girl was a pillow soaked in tears.
When she gets used to the lustful gazes of all kinds of men as if they were staring at prey, the girl's heart becomes colder and her disgust towards men is accumulating day by day.
Liu Jinyan's betrayal finally made her heart sink to the bottom of the water. Yaoniang had never hated the world so much. If it weren't for the obsession with revenge that still supported her, she would have wanted to follow her parents and die.
In those gloomy days, Pei Liang, riding a white horse, was like a hero sent by God to save her, dispelling the haze in her life and shielding her from the phoenixes and rains of the world. The young man was clean and unruly. The look in her eyes, the sometimes slutty and sometimes serious smile at the corner of her mouth, coupled with her calm and lazy temperament, all attracted Yaoniang deeply, making her understand that this desperate world not only has wind, swords, and intrigues, but also intrigues. The spring breeze warms the sun, bringing true love and nature.
Although this guy named Pei Liang would make him cry and get angry from time to time, these unforgettable moments along the way were still sweet memories.
Yaoniang agrees more and more with one sentence: The greatest happiness in this world is when lovers finally get married!
———
A kind old man gently knocked on Lu Qingyan's door.
"Uncle Fang, please come in quickly." Lu Qingyan, who had carefully dressed herself, opened the door and quickly invited the old man in.
This Uncle Fang in Lu Qingyan's mouth was an old servant of the Lu family who had been with his father for forty years. He was the old housekeeper who had been responsible for running the Lu family. Besides his deceased mother and father, Lu Qingyan was the only one who had passed away. Outside, the most trusted person.
"Miss, there's no need to do any more work. I'll just sit down and leave."
When the old man saw Lu Qingyan turning around to pour tea, he quickly stood up and waved.
"Uncle Fang, just sit down!" Lu Qingyan brought the tea bowl, coquettishly grabbed the old man's arm and smiled.
Uncle Fang's loving eyes were mixed with a hint of helplessness, he shook his head with a smile and sat down.
"Is my father back?" Lu Qingyan asked casually.
"The master went to court early in the morning and specifically asked me to come back and ask the lady some questions!"
"I understand, there are some things that it is really inconvenient for my father to ask." Lu Qingyan sighed slightly.
"Young lady has been extremely smart since she was a child. That bastard Liu Jinyan is not even worthy of carrying your shoes. I get very angry when I mention him..."
The old man's chest heaved violently, and his beard was trembling.
Lu Qingyan quickly calmed him down with her hands: "That's right, this kind of person is not worthy of our anger!"
The old man coughed and looked with loving eyes at this little master who had served him since childhood and was like his own daughter.
"Little Yanzi, Uncle Fang actually understands even if he doesn't tell you that your father had no choice but to do this marriage. He has more sorrow in his heart than anyone else. He knows exactly what Liu Jinyan is. Who in the world can The father wants his daughter to live an unhappy life. There are some things that the master has not allowed me to say, but today Uncle Fang must say that on the night you got married, the master stayed alone in the mourning hall for a long time. He was...he Yes... I feel sorry for your deceased mother!"
As the old man suppressed an extremely painful cry for a long time, Lu Qingyan's tears burst out of her eyes.
"Uncle Fang, stop talking, I understand everything."
"You understand, but there are some things you still don't understand. It's not that your father doesn't have the courage and determination to fight to the death with that eunuch, but it's just that before the time comes, he is enduring it, you are enduring it, and all of us in the Lu family are enduring it, I believe The day will come soon when all will be settled!”
When Uncle Fang said this, his eyes were firm and his words were so murderous that Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
In her impression, Uncle Fang always had a smile and was kind to others. When had he ever shown such murderous intent?
"We are all buried in the soil. You are the future of the Lu family. I do all this for the Lu family, and even more for you!"
The old man touched Lu Qingyan's head lovingly, and the old tears that had been holding for a long time flowed out along the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Lu Qingyan took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped it carefully for the old man.
"Little Yanzi, the master said you were sent back by a young hero?"
The old man gently took Lu Qingyan's hand away and asked with a smile.
"Yeah" Lu Qingyan nodded gently.
Not long after, Lu Qingyan raised her head and found that the old man had been staring at her, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Uncle Fang" Lu Qingyan, who had always practiced happily, actually became a little nervous.
The old man laughed heartily and said with a big heart: "We little swallows have found a sweetheart. What a joy and congratulation!"
After that, the old man asked several questions in a row without waiting for Lu Qingyan to deny it.
"Where is this young man from, what is his life experience, and does he have good martial arts skills?"
"What do you think of his character?"
"Oh, by the way, how did you meet each other and what did you talk about along the way?"
Lu Qingyan covered her ears and turned around.
"Uncle Fang, if you keep doing this, I won't pay attention to you."
"Haha, okay, this girl is thin-skinned, so let's make an appointment. I want to meet this young man."
"Ah, Uncle Fang, you really want to see him"
"Well, this is what your father meant. No matter how useless this old slave is, he will not live to be a hundred years old. He still has some eyesight for seeing people. I will check it for you."
"No"
"why"
"Uncle Fang, I have to disappoint you. He already has a confidante. We came to Yujing all the way together."
"This is not important, just ask him out."
"Oh, feelings cannot be forced, and I don't want to force them."
Lu Qingyan sighed softly. Although there was still a slight smile on her face, the disappointment in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Little Yanzi, relationships are about mutual love, but if you like someone, you have to be brave enough to say it. It's his business to accept or not. Life is only a few decades. If you can't leave any regrets, don't stay. I just want to see you. See him, a man who can make my young lady fall in love and be appreciated by my master, what are his abilities?"
"My father also appreciates him?"
"Look, I'll make you happy"
"No"
"The master has a good impression of him. He said that this young man has a unique temperament and makes people feel very comfortable and not pretentious."
"My father did not see the wrong person"
"It seems that if you really like someone, you can't hide it no matter what. You want to praise him all the time."
"Uncle Fang, you are making fun of me again"
"Haha, I'm more interested in this guy."
"But I don't know where he is now."
"This is easy to handle. I'll send someone to check and they'll find out."
"He is so elusive, can he be found?"
"Miss, it seems that you really don't know anything about the strength of our Lu family!"
The old man smiled slightly. How could a chief minister's family, which had gone through three dynasties of power changes and still stand firm, be a character who had no background and was at the mercy of others? Shake three shakes!
