Clouds and Waters

"Snapped!"

There was a loud noise, and people who didn't know it must have thought it was a thunderstorm.

"Miss, it's done!" There was a pretty little girl standing under the dense forest outside Jingzhou City. It looked like she had passed her double tenth, and she was beautiful and lively. She looked like a beauty and ruffian, wearing a moon-white short skirt , more and more clever and active.At this moment, she was shouting happily, and ran over to point to a bird on the ground and said, "Look, look! It's a sparrow!" As she spoke, she turned her head and looked behind her with an excited face without saying a word. the man.

The person behind him nodded slightly and looked at the things in his hand.It was a pair of binocular guns, with green smoke billowing from the muzzle.She blew on the smoke from the muzzle, and immediately a smell of gunpowder came to her face, making her wrinkle her nose.

At this time, firearms were not yet popular, and only the imperial guards and the garrison guarding the border could equip them. Even if ordinary people had mountains of gold and silver in their homes, they might not be able to get one.It can be seen that this master is quite skilled in playing with guns. If he was not born in an emperor's family with relatives of the emperor, he would have been a handsome Zhong Ming Ding Shijun.

This □□ is so difficult to see, the little girl saw it showing its majesty, no wonder it was so excited.

"Miss, are you just here to see your prey? What are you thinking there?" The little girl spoke again, this time with her mouth puffed out in a coquettish voice, which seemed to be pleading and complaining, which contained Only she can understand her affection.

The cool breeze blowing in the early summer morning makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.The gun-wielding man was long and tall, wearing a sapphire blue gauze gown with round collar and arrow sleeves, a belt around his waist, black short boots, and a jade crown tied up with black hair, presumably for the convenience of hunting and hunting. Wearing men's clothes with tied hair, he really has the temperament of a gentleman.But a few strands of hair on the temples on both sides drooped disobediently, which made her stretch out her hand to brush it in annoyance, but it was this stroke that made this man's natural and unrestrained demeanor even more, adding a bit of her daughter's beauty.She spread her slender fingers to cover her eyes, and squinted her eyes to stare at the warm sunshine. What a beautiful weather!

The man looked at the rising sun for a long time, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his eyes.Although the sun is dazzling, it can't do anything to her.After a while, I saw the little girl smiled faintly, her jet-black eyes were crystal clear, clear and clear, as if they were piercing into your heart, and you could see through the secret deep in your heart.Transparent like water, sharp like light, no one who sees this pair of eyes will turn their head to avoid the sharpness consciously.But that little girl didn't know who it was. Seeing this pair of bright eyes, she couldn't avoid it, and took it abruptly.However, how many people are there in the world who can really accept this vision?Look, within a moment, the little girl's face was covered with red clouds, and her heart seemed to jump out of her chest. Finally, she could no longer accept this man's "tricks", and turned her eyes reluctantly.But the feeling of blushing and heartbeat can't be lingered anymore, it seems that this kung fu has great stamina, the little girl is deeply poisoned, and she can't extricate herself.

The man still didn't know that he had such "bright eyesight", so he only frowned, walked forward slowly, looked at the prey on the ground, shook his head and said, "This is only a hundred meters away. , it seems that there is still room for improvement. Let’s go and go back to the house.”

Just throwing down such a sentence, the man walked away without even looking at the little girl. Pity her shy look that only moved her eyes and was guessed by others, but no one appreciated her.Famous and beautiful flowers are in love with each other, and they look like a king with a smile.At this time, there are all famous and beautiful flowers in the country, but there is no passionate king, only a young lady who doesn't understand the style...

The little girl pursed her mouth reluctantly and muttered: "Miss, miss, you have been tinkering with it for three months, and finally tinkered with such a good thing for hunting birds, what are you going to do? Is it possible that you still want to get lost Air camp?"

The Shenji Battalion was a special institution set up by the imperial court to study first-class cannons. It was directly commanded by the Imperial Forest Army and guarded the important areas of the capital.Although this little girl is just a maidservant, she is in the family of the Marquis of Military Merit, and she knows the court anecdotes very well.

The young lady also turned her head and ignored her, and said as she walked, "What is it? Since I, Yun Chenxiao, have done it, I will do it the best. This can kill the little sparrow, and it can also kill the high-flying eagle Is it? If you say you can’t do it, then you can’t do it. If you want to hit sparrows, go get a slingshot, what’s the use of this?”

The man in blue is Yun Chenxiao.She had nothing to do that day, so she took the gunpowder that she had developed for several months to try, but she only killed a sparrow.Although accurate enough, the power is still weak.Yun Chenxiao has the temperament of not dying until the Yellow River, so he is naturally very dissatisfied.

She talked here for a long while, but didn't listen to the little girl's answer, which made her feel a little strange. Looking back, she saw the little girl standing motionless on the spot, staring straight at her, seeming to be angry with herself.It's no wonder, I haven't been out of the house for three months, it's pity that Xiaoqi stays with her in the room all day, don't bore this little girl.

Yun Chenxiao thought of how unsmiling she had been to Xiao Qi in the past few months, and she also felt a little sorry, so she apologized and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, are you still going? Are you just waiting for the sky to fall?"

That Xiaoqi still didn't answer, just folded his arms around his chest and closed his eyes, it seemed that he was going to exhaust himself to the end.

Yun Chenxiao was confused now, so she had to back away, stretched out her hand and waved in front of Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, Qi'er, Ah Qi, Seventh Sister, um, Seventh Fairy, Seventh Miss..." She dragged the word "Miss Seven" for a long time, followed by saluting, and actually bowed to Xiao Qi.

The little Qiben also had no intention of getting angry, and just wanted Yun Chenxiao to talk to him to relieve boredom.Seeing that this trick worked, she smiled sweetly, stepped forward and took Yun Chenxiao's arm and said, "I can't bear it! Miss, let's go back right away? Master and Madam are waiting."

Yun Chenxiao laughed and said: "Success, let's go back home!" After saying that, he swaggered ahead, and suddenly with sharp eyes, he saw something shaking in the grass ahead.She smiled secretly, held up the gun, took a good aim, and there was another "pop", and the things in the grass stopped moving immediately.

Xiao Qiben followed behind unhurriedly, but when he heard the gunshot, he was startled, hurriedly stepped up, hid behind Yun Chenxiao and said, "What's wrong? Why did you shoot again? Are there villains?"

Yun Chenxiao squeezed a smile at Xiaoqi, patted her on the shoulder to signal her not to move, but went deep into the grass by herself.The grass is tall and the forest is dense here, and it is summer again, the weeds are higher than a human head, once Yun Chenxiao entered, they disappeared immediately.

Xiao Qi waited outside for a long time, but she couldn't wait until her young lady came out, so she yelled, but no one paid any attention to her.Although it is broad daylight, without Yun Chenxiao, she is alone in this place with high mountains and dense forests, and she can hear unknown things screaming in the distance, the wind blows the leaves rustling, and the poor mountains and rivers in front of her, maybe she will A masked robber with a dagger jumped out of the dense forest.The bright and soft mountain scenery just now immediately turned into a place where Xiao Suo kills tigers and wolves. Xiao Qi was in it, and there was an indescribable panic, but after a while, tears were streaming down his face.Such a familiar scene, like a scene in a nightmare, miss, she just disappeared so suddenly, leaving me alone forever.

"Miss, where are you? Don't scare me!"

Xiao Qi was both afraid and worried, so he called out a few times with a trembling voice, and then he wanted to follow into the dense forest.No matter what, she wants to be with Yun Chenxiao, as long as they are together, it is good. Thinking of this, she seems to be at ease again...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person behind reached out and tapped her on the head, and sang with a smile: "Xiao Qi Xiao Qi, crying and crying, I want to ask why, I want to eat pheasant! Say, yes or no, you greedy girl!"

The man in front of him has star-like eyes, with piercing eyes, and he is looking at Xiaoqi and laughing, and what is dangling in his hand is a big flower pheasant, which seems to be the prize of the gunshot.That song was made up by her now, and it was out of tune, but it sounded like heaven to Xiao Qi.

"You scared me to death!" The little girl was very happy to see the person in her heart. Although she was complaining, flowers had already bloomed on her face, and she threw herself into her arms without any hesitation, Holding Yun Chenxiao in his arms, he cried and laughed at the same time, wiped all the tears and snot on her body, but still refused to let go.

Yun Chenxiao sighed softly, wrapped her arms around Xiao Qi's slender waist, hugged her away from her side and said, "Hey, why are you crying? Look at how timid you are. Here, I'll reward you!" Handed the gun to Xiao Qi and said, "Whoever wants to bully you in the future, hit him on the head with this thing, do you hear me? I won't allow others to bully you."

Xiao Qi took it in a little confusion and said: "But, miss, you are so powerful, who dares to bully me? I, I don't want this thing, it's so dark and scary, I just want you... I, I... to be with you... ..."

Yun Chenxiao said with a "Huh?", "No? This is what many people want! Besides, no matter how powerful I am, you can't live with me forever! Are you 25 or [-]? Hey, yes. Blame me for being busy all day, not being able to find a good husband for you, and delaying your lifelong event. Xiaoqi, if you have someone you like, come and tell me quickly, and I will make the decision for you. In a few days , I’m leaving now, I’m going to…” When she said this hesitatingly, a strange light flashed in her eyes, which couldn’t be described as sadness or emotion, and she said faintly: “Hey, to be honest, how am I so good? Haha , It's been so long, I think about that night, I... I'm scared, I'm scared! Xiaoqi, tell me, can I find that thing after I go there? Can you make her change her mind?"

This look again, this tone of voice again, sounds a bit baffling, but Xiao Qi knows that she is thinking about "her" again!Xiao Qi is jealous and distressed, why, why has it been ten years, and she still hasn't forgotten her?Xiao Qi anxiously grabbed Yun Chenxiao's hand, covered her cheeks, and said softly, "Miss, don't think about that night, don't think about her anymore! Come on, let's go home, Xiao Qi will accompany you You read and write, and I will do it with you! I will not marry, and I will always be with you..."

Yun Chenxiao looked at the little girl in front of her as if she had just woken up from a dream.Xiaoqi has been with him for nearly 20 years, right?When she was very young, the butler brought a little girl who was supposed to be sent to help the kitchen, but Yun Chenxiao happened to bump into her.The little girl was very clever, she broke free from the butler at that time, hid behind the beautiful young lady, no matter how the butler pulled her, she just didn't go out, as if she recognized the little master.Seeing that the girl is smart, the lady likes it.Not to mention, can there be anything wrong with the person I admire?Immediately, he stretched out his hand to grab the little girl and brought her to his bedroom.This area is 20 years.The ladies and maids back then have grown up, and in the blink of an eye in 20 years, people have changed, no longer the innocence of childhood, no longer the frivolity of youth, but how can that friendship fade easily?

Yun Chenxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's go home."

***************************************

Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

Splendid Township all over the world, a romantic place in Huanhai.In the southeast, the city of the Three Wus, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.And the eyes of this prosperous metropolis are naturally the famous West Lake.

Bai Juyi said, "I most remember that the eastward travel of the lake is not enough, and the white sand embankment is in the shade of green poplars", so the Baidi embankment was left behind.Su Dongpo said, "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, it is always suitable to wear light makeup and heavy makeup", and left Su Causeway again.Generations of great writers have been here.Ruojie is passionate and looking for Xiaoxiao, deep in the green poplar is the Su family.Su Xiaoxiaoqing also stayed in Hangzhou, and famous prostitutes came here.Misfortunes and turmoil, the mountains and rivers of the Southern Song Dynasty are only half-walled; loyalty permeates the sun and the moon, and the West Lake is full of thousands of years.Twelve gold medals plus a "unnecessary" crime, the enemy defeated the insurmountable Yue family army, and the famous generals came and went, only "the warm wind made the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou was turned into Bianzhou" The emperors and generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, who lived in the south of the Yangtze River, enjoyed singing and dancing.I saw this picture of the lake in the past, and I didn't believe that there was such a lake in the world. Today, I walked across the lake, and the painter still owed his time.Even Dongying people have been here, which shows the reputation of this lake.So who is there now?The one who guards the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River of the Great Yan Kingdom and enjoys the infinite scenery of the West Lake is the young talent who was facing the wind in the jade tree back then, and is now the highly respected and powerful minister and prince.

In the thousands of hectares of waves, a flat boat rolled with light sails, the water was like a green ribbon, and the mountains were like jasper hairpins. The boat shuttled through the hosta ribbons for a long time, and finally docked on the shore.

"I want to talk about the time when Wanghu was downstairs, the water and the clouds were wide and narrow. Don't ask when you are drunk, and you will hear the news of peach leaves." A long-bearded handsome man in the boat sang alone with a cup of tea in his hand.Seeing that he is over half a hundred years old, with light fur and gentle belt, he is handsome in description, and his gestures are full of luxury and elegance.

There is one person on the left and one on the right behind him.The man on the left is tall and tall, with a black face and a beard, and a knife at his waist. He looks fierce, like a plague god.The person on the right is wearing a white robe, with a brocade belt in the wind, and his demeanor is quite elegant.It's just that this person has no expression on his face, which makes people look abnormally indifferent.The two looked towards the north together at this time, and it seemed that they were waiting for someone.

After a while, a person came galloping on horseback with a burden on his back.The man was so fast, he just saw his shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him.

"Come on!" The man in black yelled when he saw someone coming, and jumped out.Originally, the boat was very stable, but after he jumped, it immediately swayed from side to side, so that the Yashi on the boat twitched his beard and shook his head.

Immediately the man turned over, knelt down on the ground, stretched out his hand to untie the burden behind him and raised it above his head, saying, "My lord, Jingzhou Express!"

The man in black took it and waved his hand.The man understood immediately, and rode away without delay.

"Hey, what a heavy thing!" The black-clothed man weighed the things in his hands, jumped on the boat again and said, "Your Highness, things from Jingzhou!"

Yashi slightly nodded and said, "Open it."

The man in black was ordered to open it, only to see an envelope inside and something with a long wooden handle.

"Good guy! This is □□!" The man in black couldn't hide his excitement, he couldn't put it down, he squinted his eyes and aimed for a long time, and shouted: "I have been with the prince for more than 30 years, and I haven't even got one of these things. Son. That little girl's film is good, but I don't know where she got it? I really envy Sharen."

Yashi didn't care much about this, but looked at the letter in his hand and said to the white-clothed counselor: "It's a secret letter from the Yun family in Jingzhou. Mr. Murong, come and have a look." After finishing speaking, he just put his hands together Cuddled in the sleeves, leaning on the boat with eyes closed, as if enjoying the aftertaste of famous tea, the appearance is very leisurely.

Mr. Murong received the letter respectfully and read it, and said: "My lord, what's the matter with her? There has been no movement in the past ten years, and she is watching the sky and surveying the earth, and now she is building a new one? Is it possible that she wants to use it?" □□Blow up that Nether Sword?"

After hearing this, Yashi laughed and said: "Is this Miss Yun's fuel-efficient lamp? Hmph, astronomy and geography, gunpowder and gunpowder are all just a cover. Old man Yun is the same, let her mess around! Hey, I don't know her How is the Beidou Eight Diagrams Sword Formation doing? Is it still good enough to compete with Lord Shui?" He took the gun from the man in black, weighed it, looked at it, threw it back and said with a smile : "Zhong Bao, send this thing back! Seventh girl finally won a reward from her lady, how can we win people's love?"

The black-clothed man named Zhongbao answered "yes" when he heard this, but his brows were furrowed, his nose kept panting, and he muttered, but he couldn't refute. What, it seems that I am not very willing.

Mr. Murong in white breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, this subordinate still doesn't understand. You said that Shui Xinyou, since she is holding the Nether Demon Sword, should have become very demonic. How come ten years have passed, and instead of rebelling, she Helped the emperor? And that surnamed Yun, with her temperament and feelings for Shui Xinyou, how could she hold back for ten years? Could it be that she has found Yuxi, restrained the demonic nature of the Nether Sword, and controlled Shui Xinyou? Xinyou, that's why you have nothing to fear?"

That Yashi still had a nonchalant expression and said: "Mr. Murong, of the two of them, one is rebellious by nature, and the other is utterly loyal. When these two meet together, how can there be no good drama? People say ten years of hard work Yijian, is this Nether Sword an ancient artifact? Is it of ordinary grade? What is a mere ten years? Sir, sir, this king is not in a hurry, why are you so anxious? Just wait, look at this Yun Formation, the show is about to begin." After saying that, he stood up, patted Mr. Murong on the shoulder and said, "Oh, by the way, how about the Five Elements Gate?"

As soon as the scholar mentioned this matter, Mr. Murong's expression suddenly turned cold, and he seemed quite desolate, and said: "Shui Xinyou gave Qi to pass on the kung fu back then, and it really has the power to recreate the five schools. The five elements' true qi echoes with each other, and the same qi seeks each other. Since Junior Sister Shui Ling retired ten years ago, Wuxing Sect has commanded all martial arts, and all of them are in the hands of Shui Xinyou. My junior brothers and nephews naturally obey her orders, and now they are all conferred official positions by the emperor and are working for the court. "

After hearing this, Yashi clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, Shui Xinyou is indeed a great leader. This king is right about her. The five elements are good at their own strengths. It's a pity that they are left behind. If they are willing to serve the country, they will be really happy. This is a good thing. Look at the situation of the five elements being united and forbearance for the country. It is very similar to the style of the prosperous age when the five ministers and ministers assisted the country when I was the emperor. Haha, what a master of the water gate. Fortunately! It seems that I, Dayan, have a hope for Zhongxing, and Zhongxing is hopeful! Mr. Murong, if I remember correctly, you should be the left servant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Jixian Academy, right? The third-rank top wearer, the official residence assistant minister, drafting edicts , Approving memorials, tsk tsk tsk, this is the power of the prime minister! You are also in the light of your master of the water gate! Not bad, you have become a high-ranking official, and you don’t have to stay in the small place of Pinheng Academy. The capital is prosperous Ah, work hard, anyway, you are from my Prince Ning's mansion, don't make others laugh at you! Huh?"

I only heard the nasal sound of the last "um" dragged on for a long time, he paused and then raised, among them he was very knowledgeable, and Mr. Murong shuddered when he heard it, he knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord is wise, my subordinates You have always been loyal to your lord, not to mention that your subordinates are mere third-rank servants, even if you worship your prime minister as a marquis, your subordinates would not dare to disobey your lord!"

"Oh, Mr. Murong is serious. Whether it is the king, the emperor, or the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, aren't we all for the Great Yan Kingdom?" The elegant scholar smiled with his beard, helped Mr. Murong up and said calmly: "Mr. Get up quickly, how can this king endure your worship?"

Mr. Murong was already soaked in sweat, and slowly stood up.

Yashi nodded and said: "Come on, sir is far away in the capital, and it's rare to get together with this king. Xiao Wang invites you to have a drink together. This is our top-quality West Lake Longjing." After saying that, he lifted his nose and took a deep breath, and said with a smile: " Haha, it's time, it's here! Come on, this tea must be savored!"
