Sapphire Warriors

It's the time of the year again when the imperial court revises the household registration, and every household is busy filling in the personal property.After Nan Lie learned about it, his mind moved, so that night, he took the household registration book and came to Fujizhen's room.

Unexpectedly, Fujima told him that he was not from Yushifu, so how could he do these things instead of Mr. Huagata.

Unexpectedly, Nan Lie said: "I thought you would be willing to fill it in!"

"Why?" Fuji really didn't know why.

So, Nan Lie said again: "Don't you want to add Ah Xiao's name?"

As soon as this remark came out, Teng Zhen suddenly realized that what Nan Lie said was right, after Ah Xiao's name was added, he was the son of Huaxingtou, and he could continue the incense lamp for Huaxing's family, wouldn't it be a great thing.So Fujima said with a smile: "Thank you."

Nan Lie seemed to be captured by his smile, and he looked a little crazy, until Teng Zhen called him, he said to him from left to right: "That... that... I'm afraid that Mr. Huaxing will be confused Yes, it would be too bad to write the name from Romance of the Three Kingdoms later..."

Now, Tengzhen laughed even more happily, and he joked: "I wonder if there is a column for foster father here?"

"You want to write about yourself?"

"No, it's you. You also have a part to bring Ah Xiao to this world. You also said that Ah Xiao is very good. When you get old..."

Seeing that Tengzhen was going to chatter with him about these principles of life again, Nan Lie immediately got up and walked back, saying as he walked: "Mitsui wants me to take in apprentices, and you want me to take in sons, I don't care, I'll just write Be yourself, I really enjoy being alone, I'm not afraid of being alone. I'm going back to my room..."

Fujima looked at his back, showing a dumbfounding expression...

Although Sakuragi is a thoughtful child, he is also careful. He thought about it for several days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Aunt Gui said that Haruko returned home because her mother was ill, but Mari said yes. Because her father is ill, the two of them don't even have the same caliber, isn't it suspicious?So he asked Aunt Gui about Haruko's return date, Aunt Gui said she didn't know, so he asked Mari, Mari also said she didn't know.This Mari Kawai and Aunt Gui have always been open-eyed when they see money. Would they be so kind to let Haruko go to her hometown to visit relatives without asking about the return date?The answer is obvious.And the most suspicious thing is that Marie actually went to buy a girl from a human trafficker, which obviously means that they all knew that Haruko would never come back.

With this series of questions, Yingmu quarreled with Aunt Gui and Mari early that morning, and the quarrel between the two attracted other girls in Tianxiang Tower.

From the mouths of those girls, Sakuragi vaguely heard that Aunt Gui once wanted Haruko to sell her as a brothel girl, which was okay, Sakuragi's fiery temper was instantly ignited, and he was about to fight with his fists, but fortunately, he was caught The people on the side stopped him, and when he looked back, it was none other than Yangping who stopped him!

It turned out that Yang Ping was here to remind Aunt Gui that today was an auspicious day to go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense.

Compared with Yingmu's behavior, Yangping seems to be more able to please Aunt Gui's favor, not to mention how much business he brought to Tianxianglou with his superb color plays, his delicate and gentle appearance is already People have to like it.

Seeing that it was Yang Ping who came, Aunt Gui lost most of her anger, so she went to the room cursing, packed her clothes, and the turmoil subsided.

Besides, Sakuragi, after calming down, think carefully about the farce in the morning, thankful that Yangping arrived in time, otherwise he would have been sued by Aunt Gui.But Haruko still had no news, he couldn't just sit here and do nothing, he suddenly remembered that Yang Ping said that Aunt Gui had gone to Xiangguo Temple right now, so he followed Aunt Gui not long after she went out...

So did Aunt Gui really go to Xiangguo Temple?

Of course not, she went to the back mountain hut to see how Haruko was doing, if she compromised, it would be the best, if she died of starvation and thirst, she would not be able to explain to Nobunaga Kiyota...

Aunt Gui hurried all the way, and did not reach the hut at the back of the mountain until it was three poles high in the sun. She opened the door and saw that Haruko was still tied to the post, but her face was paler than before, her lips were dry, and she was dying.

Aunt Gui came to her in three steps at a time, put down the bamboo basket, took out the kettle, poured a bowl of clear water, brought it to Qingzi, and said, "Don't be stubborn, drink some water."

Haruko turned her head sideways and ignored her,

However, Aunt Gui was worried that she would die of thirst, so she forced the tea bowl to her mouth.

Haruko was also determined, not only swearing to die, but also slammed into it with all her strength.

Aunt Gui was defeated, and the water glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered to the ground, so she cursed angrily: "Damn girl, I don't know what to do!"

Haruko replied weakly: "I know that my life was not good...my parents died not long after I was born...my brother was arrested and served as a soldier again...no news...but I never complained ...I don't want delicacies from mountains and seas...I can eat green vegetables and tofu as happily...No matter what you say...I will never sell myself to be a flower girl..."

After hearing these words, Aunt Gui immediately got up, said: "I don't know how to flatter you!" and left the hut...

After that, there was another rustling sound of iron chains.

Haruko leaned against the pillar weakly, having neither eaten nor drank water for four days and four nights, she knew that her time limit was approaching.Forget it, anyway, her parents and elder brother are long gone, and it would be miserable to leave her alone in the world. It would be better to let her go away quietly, and it would be considered as a reunion for their family.But what about that person?In the haze, Haruko saw a red-haired figure approaching her step by step. Is it him?The man she never forgets in her heart, the man called Yingmu Huadao...

……

Standing deep in the woods, Yohei finally showed a relieved smile when he saw Sakuragi leaving the hut with Haruko on his back...

It turned out that Yangping had been aware of Aunt Gui and Mari's tricks early in the morning, and found this hut, but due to his status, he couldn't rush to save people, so he tried every means to hint to Sakuragi, hoping that he could stand up for this kind girl. out.

Now, seeing that Sakuragi rescued Haruko, he can leave with peace of mind...

Of course, this matter is not over yet, because the culprit has not yet appeared, and that is Kiyota Nobunaga.

Kiyota Nobunaga heard that Haruko hadn't eaten or drank for four days, and was worried that she would die, so he dragged Aunt Gui and brought his hands down to the hut in the back mountain, only to find that the building was already empty, and there were still a pile of people on the ground. Untied twine.

Immediately, Qingtian became furious, and severely criticized Aunt Gui, saying that if Haruko disappeared, her Tianxiang Tower would be closed down!Then, he sent his men to search around, thinking that Haruko's hands and feet were weak, so she must not be able to run far.

……

Sure enough, within two hours, they found Sakuragi and Haruko hiding in the woods.

Even though Sakuragi had some kung fu, he was still no match for Kiyota's men, and within a few rounds, he was captured alive.

Kiyota claimed that Haruko's deed of prostitution had long been in his hands and was already his own. Now Sakuragi not only abducted her, but also tarnished her innocence in this forest.

After Yingmu heard this, Naihe was caught by his subordinates, otherwise he would definitely give him a headbutt, and he said loudly: "You forced people into prostitution, imprisoned and abused you, today I must go to the government to sue you!"

Qingtian laughed out loud, imagine that he is an official appointed by the imperial court, and the official worships the third grade, is he still afraid of those little county officials?He didn't take Yingmu's words seriously at all, and asked Aunt Gui beside him, "Tell me, according to the custom, how should we deal with it?"

Aunt Gui never expected that things would become so serious.At this moment, she was already trembling with fright, and said tremblingly: "According to...according to the custom...soak...soak...soak the pig cage."

Qingtian waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Take it away!"

……

After such a big incident happened, Aunt Gui definitely didn't dare to hide it from Meixue anymore. After she came back, she immediately explained everything to Meixue.

When Miyuki learned about it, she was so frightened that she couldn't help herself. In order to embolden herself, she came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice overnight and begged Mitsui to accompany her to seek Kiyota Nobunaga.

At noon the next day, the two finally met Kiyota Nobunaga as they wished.

However, Kiyota Nobunaga had taken the weight and made up his mind this time, no matter what Miyuki and Mitsui said, there was no room for negotiation at all, as if they wanted to kill Sakuragi.

Seeing that their begging was fruitless, the two returned to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in frustration, and happened to meet Fujizhen and Nanlie.

After hearing this, Fujima knew that it would be useless to go to the government to sue him. Not to mention that the magistrate was afraid when he saw Kiyota Nobunaga, the contract of sale that Kiyota Nobunaga was holding was enough to make everyone speechless explain.After thinking about it, Fujima thinks that there is only one person who can save Sakuragi and Haruko for now, and that is Rukawa Kaede!

Fujima rushed to the palace non-stop and showed the token, but was told that Rukawa accompanied Xiandao to worship the ancestors today, and would not return to the palace until Xushi.

When Fujima heard the news, he was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang. Fortunately, he was not discouraged. He knew that as long as he saw Rukawa, Sakuragi would be saved, so he sat down on the promenade at the entrance of Fengya Hall, patiently wait……

The night of this day was very quiet. Through the gaps in the hollow roof, the stars in the sky could be vaguely seen blinking at Sakuragi and Haruko.Although they were tied to wooden stakes, they all had faint smiles on their faces, just because they were the only person beside them.

Haruko looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I'm sorry, Sakuragi, I got you into trouble. If it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't be like this."

"Don't say that." Sakuragi raised his head, glanced at the starry sky, and continued: "Everyone is mortal. I was already a dead person. I lived to be in my twenties because I met my sister. Wake up, I have earned it. The so-called surviving a catastrophe must have future blessings."

Haruko smiled wryly and said, "What future blessings?"

"I just know you. Tomorrow, if I can go on the road with you, I will not be afraid of anything. Even if I go to the underworld to meet the King of Hades, I will not be afraid today. Do you understand?"

Haruko nodded vigorously, and said, "Understood, I am satisfied to meet you in the capital." After speaking, a gust of cold wind blew in through the window, and Haruko couldn't help shivering.

After seeing it, Sakuragi felt a little distressed, and immediately asked, "Are you cold?"

"Well, a little bit, but I hope it will be colder tonight, so that I can see snow." Haruko replied, although she knew that this wish could only be wishful thinking now.

Sakuragi listened to her words, glanced at the sky, and realized that it was impossible to snow tonight, but then he caught a glimpse of the big bag on the top of the shelf beside him, which was filled with cotton, so he said excitedly to Haruko "I'll show you that it's snowing right away." After finishing speaking, he kicked the shelf vigorously. Sure enough, the cotton in the sack was shaken out, and he kicked it several times. This time, the cotton was like snowflakes. Generally, they floated down from the roof one after another.

Looking at the "heavy snow", Haruko couldn't help crying, she said intermittently: "It's so beautiful...it's really beautiful...thank you...Sakuragi..."

Before the words were finished, the door was kicked open by someone, and it was Kiyota Nobunaga who came.

Whether Sakuragi has violated Haruko, can Kiyota Nobunaga still not know?He was just using an excuse to get rid of Sakuragi. As for Haruko, he would not show mercy. Even if she were to die with Sakuragi, he would eat her up first...

Haruko was slapped down on the bed by Kiyota. Holding back her dizziness, she glared at Kiyota fiercely and said, "If you dare to mess around, I'll kill you!"

Unexpectedly, Qingtian didn't take her threats seriously at all, or, in Qingtian's eyes, Haruko's threats were equivalent to child's play. He squeezed Haruko's chin hard, lifted it up, and said, "Going to bed with Sakuragi? He is on the bed Makes you comfortable?"

"Hmph, thanks to the fact that you are still an imperial court official, that's all!" Qingzi glanced at him, her eyes full of contempt.

"It seems that I still have to tame you." After finishing speaking, Kiyota greedily kissed Haruko's lips, and Haruko bit hard, feeling a faint scarlet blood on the tip of her tongue.

Kiyota reached out to wipe his mouth, and his eyes became ferocious. Without saying a word, he raised a slap to knock Haruko unconscious, then lowered his head, biting Haruko's neck and collarbone frantically...

At this time, there was a fight outside the door...

The so-called: Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Fujima had to admit that he had never been so nervous before. When he rushed back from Fengya Palace with Rukawa's handwritten letter, his heartbeat seemed to stop.When he got home, he didn't stay for a moment, pulled Nan Lie, and went straight to Kiyota Nobunaga's residence.

"Master Fujima, my young master ordered no one to enter."

In order to get Haruko, Kiyota Nobunaga recruited dozens of men to guard the door of the room.

"Believe it or not, you can be knocked down in half a cup of tea?"

Nan Lie gave them a hard look, then pulled Teng Zhen straight in.

At this moment, none of Qingtian's men dared to step forward, because of the rare murderous aura emanating from Nan Liezhou...

Haruko became dizzy and didn't wake up until the next day when she was in the sun.After waking up, she jumped up from the bed in fright, and found herself lying in a strange room. She subconsciously felt that she had been defiled by Qingtian, and tears fell down. Fortunately, at this moment, the door opened, and Xiao Lian walked in.

Xiao Lian came to give Qingzi a change of clothes. Seeing that Qingzi woke up, she told Qingzi what had happened like pouring beans.

It turned out that Kiyota Nobunaga's father was a student of Rukawa and held a pivotal position in Shanghe City, so Kiyota Nobunaga was so arrogant.In the past, Rukawa mostly turned a blind eye because of his face, but this time, Rukawa felt that the trouble was too much, so he handled the matter impartially, not only stopped Qingtian's misconduct, but also ordered him to sell himself immediately. The deed was returned to Haruko, and Haruko has been an innocent and free man ever since.

Haruko never imagined that one day she would come back from the dead, she thanked Xiaolian repeatedly, but Xiaolian dared not take it, and said that it was the credit of Fujima and Nanlie.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Sakuragi came in carrying a wooden bucket, saying it was for Haruko to wash.

When Haruko heard this, she was so moved that she wanted to cry again. Fortunately, Xiao Lian said a haha, and then went out, leaving all the rest of the good times to the fateful pair of mandarin ducks in the room...

Seeing Xiaolian walking out of the room with a smile, Fujima knew that Haruko was all right. At this moment, he happened to see Nan Lie walking into the yard, so he stepped forward and said to Nan Lie, "Qing Zi hasn't settled down yet. So I will live in Yushifu, do you have any objection?"

Nan Lie smiled slightly and said, "This is your home. I have no right to stop whoever you want to live in."

Seeing that he didn't object, Fujima said again: "Sakuragi offended Aunt Gui, Tianxianglou won't be able to go back, and he will live here in the future, don't you mind?"

Nan Lie still smiled slightly, and repeated what he said just now.

Tengzhen knew that he would say that, so he took the opportunity to say: "That's right, in the future, we will be a family under the same roof, you should understand what I mean..."

Nan Lie suddenly put away his smile, could he still not know what Teng was really thinking?Ever since Yingmu proposed to worship him as a teacher, Fujima asked him to accept him as an apprentice explicitly and secretly. In order to avoid this sensitive topic, Nan Lie said solemnly: "I'll go to the woodshed to chop firewood."

Seeing this, Tengzhen couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, yes, there are too many people, and the firewood is busy, so we need to chop more firewood."

Nan Lie stopped talking to him, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth...
