laughing soul

The distance from the capital to Hua is not too far, but he did not take the regular army with him because he wanted to cover up people's eyes and ears so as not to make a big noise. Wang Dengben planned to send a dozen strong and strong porters directly from the capital to help carry the military supplies. , but still because the team was too large and eye-catching, He Lingyu beat him back intact.

"Are you going to Huadu alone as a coolie? Find someone to help you transport it when you arrive at the place? Isn't it more powerful and suspicious?"

He Lingyu paused when he packed his luggage. When Wang Deng saw it, he thought there was room for negotiation, so he quickly turned to her and continued to chatter: "General He Xiaoling, send a team to follow you to protect What can be a big deal? I will serve as a Habayashi guard for you in the past, and do rough work for you when you rush to the capital, and just find a place to change your appearance to fool you. Why are you worrying about it?"

Seeing that He Lingyu was still Anna with her head down quietly, Wang Deng raised his hand and stroked her thin face gently, and asked softly, "Little Lingzi?"

He Lingyu turned his head away from his hand, and said with a serious expression: "At present, the Jiangnan battlefield is still a situation where both sides are testing each other but have not made a real move. Besides, based on my understanding of Master Qiu, Su Wanyue and the others are all in the same pot. It only took two or three days for the water division army to go to reinforce it, and at this critical moment when Yalf can still send a large number of eyeliners deep into the Central Plains, Qiu Wei wants to mobilize the Northwest Army at a critical moment, which really makes me suspicious."

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Deng touched He Lingyu's head with a smile: "No wonder old Gao and Lao Qi stopped Military Division Shen from coming. What do you need for Military Division Shen when you are here?"

"Don't mess around, I'm serious," she said, but she didn't resist Wang Deng's big hand on her head, and said to herself, "I'll go by myself this time, you have to trust me Me. One more thing, Qiu Wei dispatched the Northwest Army so early this time, it is very likely that he is extending an olive branch to the Northwest Army to express his heart, you must remember that your attitude should be neither humble nor arrogant, and don't be bought by him casually."

"Bought?" Wang Deng was startled, "Does he want to make a clear distinction with Lord Qiu, Chuhe and Han? Will he usurp the throne and rebel after the Jiangnan War is over?"

He Lingyu shook his head: "I don't dare to make a conclusion now, and I'm just speculating. Besides, even if this person is really a wolf with ambition and conspiracy, the specific coping strategy depends on Master Qiu's intentions. Maybe he is quite happy to hear about it. of..."

The two of them chatted about everything, and talked a lot of nonsense. Although Wang Deng has been doing everything possible to get He Lingyu to bring the team, but he can't persuade He Da who is as stubborn as her master. Girl, the two of them talked about this and that like a big saw, without any reason.

In the end, He Lingyu couldn't bear the disturbance, and without informing Wang Deng, she set off a whole day earlier than the scheduled itinerary. When Wang Deng ran over to read scriptures as usual in the early morning of the next day, she had already relied on The sweaty BMW galloped to the foot of the gate of Tiancheng, and it was no longer a distance that Wang Deng could catch up with.

Wang Deng looked at the short letter on the table dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that the man ran away without saying a word.It wasn't until he ordered his subordinates to search all the barracks, big and small, and didn't look at anyone, that he had to believe that this person really left him.

Bored?

Holding the letter in his hand, Wang Deng lowered his head and asked the soldiers beside him, "Are my words annoying?"

And He Lingyu, who caused General Wang to suffer a lot, was calmly holding his sword and lying on the hard bed provided by the inn with his clothes on. mood.Unexpectedly, tossing and turning in the first half of the night was actually caused by insomnia.

It suddenly occurred to him that this was the first time that he was completely separated from that person after he was transferred to the Northwest Army, and he left without even a formal farewell because someone was impatient.

She imagined the man's uncontrollable panic when he woke up and ran to her tent, only to find that the room was empty. When he finally found the scrawled letter, what kind of astonishment and embarrassment would he have on his face? Word?

Stubbornly asking her to bring a team of elite soldiers is also worried about her being alone, even if she is worried about Qiu Sheng's situation after the end of the war, why can't she calm down and say something?

It made him worry again.

He Lingyu stared at the wall in a daze, listening to the whimpering sound in a trance, and was slowly pulling back his sanity. He realized that this room happened to fall on a corner, and there were slices of The whitewashed walls, where is the cry in the middle of the night?

She sat up abruptly, only to feel a drop of cold water smashing down her chin onto the hilt of the sword, she couldn't believe it when she stretched out her hand to touch it, her face was wet and moist.

Since she was sensible, Qiu Sheng placed her in the assistant station of the arsenal to take care of her. The young man was a naughty and mischievous age at that time, and he never speculated on the little girl's wishes. He only fed her on time and said something kind from time to time. It's enough to make her laugh, the child takes care of the child, and Qiu Sheng has done everything he can to raise and take care of him back then, but that's all he can do.

The girl's mind is delicate and difficult to guess. At the age when the other family's daughter was pampered by the whole family with a golden spoon in her mouth, she had already restrained all her natural tenderness and delicateness under the careless care of the careless young man, and gradually became... When he becomes cold and tough, he has a charm that others can't match.

I have been used to coming and going in the wind and rain for a few years, and my dealings with people are as indifferent and blunt as ever. Since childhood, only a humble brother like Qiu Sheng has taken care of me. Thankfully, all those who were greedy for her beauty in the past and were only fascinated by hypocrisy, none of them were scared away by her astonishing coldness in the end.

Knowing the cruelty of the human heart, there are ten thousand ways to deal with the ghost head who is ready to show his teeth and claws, but by chance, he meets the only true heart in the world, and instead runs away in a panic, not knowing what to do.

He lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand. It was Wang Deng's close-fitting sword that he never left his hand for a moment. She accidentally praised him politely, but he never saw him use it on the battlefield.Until the Spring Festival of the next year, this old man clumsily wrapped it up and gave it to her. A blush quietly appeared on his somewhat dark face tanned by the bursting sunshine of Wisconsin.

He Lingyu, who had never received a serious gift before, froze for a moment, her voice trembling slightly: "This... for me?"

He glanced at her quickly, but just this one glance made his face blush three points more hopelessly, he turned his head awkwardly, and explained in a stumbling manner: "I, this sword is too murderous. Heavy, the girl used it rashly... It hurts a bit, it hurts my body... I went back to Tianyuan Temple a few days ago, and asked Master Jingran to help with the ritual. It is probably not a problem to hang it in the house Oh...Girl, don't be disgusted..."

That was the first time she knew that there was such a fascinating feeling in the world.

In such a fiery and pure mind, there is no desire, desire, or thought other than you.

She looked at the saber that was wrapped in colorful flowers so that its deterrent power was gone, and then at the general whose face was red like a monkey's butt. The moment she put her finger on the hilt, she clearly felt the trembling that he couldn't hide: "I..."

"I, I, and I have no other meaning..." He said incoherently, "Girl, you...they all...don't worry about it, I have nothing...other..."

She looked at the man who was at a loss because of herself without saying a word. After a long while, the fingers that were lightly holding the hilt of the sword suddenly tightened, and she said softly: "Thank you, General... He Mou... Accepted."

The tenderness is like water, but only for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she has turned around and left with her sword in hand, as cold as ice.

He was left in the same place, and it took a long time for his flushed cheeks to improve, as if he had drunk fake wine. He clearly remembered that day when he went to the training ground and was laughed at by Gao Lihao for unknown reasons.

How long has it been since that day?

He Lingyu was on the road, sitting neatly on the horseback and thinking wildly, but unfortunately she didn't follow Qiu Sheng to learn the skills of remembering a thief and never forgetting. It's just that he hasn't had a good night's sleep these days, and now he has a bunch of panda circles, and his face has become a little black and haggard.

This face is so amazing that Xu Liushan took three steps back when he looked at her: "Hey, my aunt, you have the bad luck of going down to the [-]th floor of the Palace of the King of Hades? Look at it." Take a look, what the hell is this face so dark, come in and sit in."

Xu Liushan almost forcibly poured the two bowls of hot tea down for her. The weather became hotter and hotter after the spring equinox. He Lingyu didn't want to swallow it while it was boiling hot, but he couldn't gather any strength in his hands at all. , and drank it with his strength, but inexplicably became energetic: "What kind of tea is this? It's so amazing."

"The secret recipe of a miraculous doctor is never passed on to the outside world." Xu Liushan joked with a smile, and turned a little serious, "What are you doing here day and night? An order from your superiors?"

He Lingyu pressed his temples and said in a low voice: "Take away the ordnance and supplies that can be used here. The Jiangnan War is about to break out. Qiu Wei dispatched the Northwest Army to send troops to support. General Wang is already in the capital at this time. In a few days I will Go and meet him."

Hearing this, Xu Liushan's face showed some loss and sadness that could not be concealed, but he turned around in time to avoid her eyes, poured a cup of hot water and put it in her hand, and his expression returned to normal.

"I packed those things before I left back then. I went in and counted and selected them...Brother Xu," He Lingyu stopped rubbing his hands on his head and looked up at him, "I haven't spent the past two years. I'm all in a daze, I don't know the place, can you help me find five or six reliable porters? Thank you."

"That's easy to say... Didn't you bring anyone?"

As soon as he stopped, he felt a splitting headache after another. He Lingyu frowned and endured it for a while. At least he got through this time and took a deep breath: "He originally wanted to send someone for me, but It’s an eventful time right now, so it’s better if there’s less movement. It’s not like I won’t be able to walk without these few followers.”

Knowing that she had such a disposition, others would not be able to persuade her, so Xu Liushan stopped talking, turned around and went out to find her a porter.

Finally, when he went out, He Lingyu slumped on the bed as if exhausted from exhaustion.As soon as her head touched the pillow, she became a little unconscious. She was about to dream of Zhou Gong while she was drowsy, but when she heard Xu Liushan go and return, she quickly sat up straight: "What's the matter?"

But after a while, the eyebrows were already tightly frowned, and Xu Liushan was followed by a strong and powerful man with a height of eight feet, with a dark murderous look hidden in his brows and eyes, the description of such a burly man was still quite well-behaved He saluted He Lingyu: "This subordinate has met Miss He."

He Lingyu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and tried his best to suppress his fear and doubt: "He doesn't dare, is your Excellency?"

"This subordinate is just a gatekeeper of the Dong family in Linxian, Jiangbei. He has been lonely since he was a child, and he has no name and surname. This time, under the order of Prince Qing'an in the current dynasty, he came to Huadu Deputy Station to send the girl to the capital to meet with her. General Wang gathered together, and then went to the original Southern Xinjiang Wugu Village to wait for news."

Fortunately, when Qiu Sheng wandered around the world, he was able to tell her about the interesting things in the mountains and rivers when he came back. Otherwise, with He Lingyu's personality of working behind closed doors, he must not even know the name that this person said .

He calls himself a gatekeeper, and seems to have a rather low status and no great power, but he needs to know that the Jiangbei Linxian Dong clan is the first among the three famous clans in the world today. Among them, cultivating immortals and Taoism is not uncommon. Known for his omnipotent actions, he finally earned the title of "Heaven, earth, man and god can be killed". The patriarch of this family is quite proud of it. He licks blood and kills people every day without blinking an eye. Raw meat was still eaten, and for a while, everyone in the world was terrified.

But it is true that talented people from generation to generation in Jiangshan said this, since he has taken the number one position, if he kills all members of this family, he can become famous and become famous from then on.The heights are extremely cold, there are always new and old warriors from various sects leading their subordinates to ask for advice, there are not a few days in a month when there is no rest.

But the demonstrators who really fell into the eyes of the head of the Dong family were no more than three or five from the beginning to the end.

The skill of the gatekeeper can be seen here.

Xu Liushan hadn't heard much about the affairs of Jianghu, and he was still racking his brains to recall what kind of god this Jiangbei Linxian was, so He Lingyu replied indifferently: "Master Qing'an actually invited such a big Buddha to protect He Mou , ashamed and ashamed."

The gatekeeper chuckled, revealing big dies with slightly blackened roots. He was as rough as a savage in the mountains who drank snow water and gnawed raw meat. , Ms. He is unparalleled in beauty and beauty, and her literary talent and knowledge are unparalleled, it is my blessing to have this honor to come to protect the girl."

It should be someone who said something, his intentions are naturally good, but this sentence "unique person" heard He Lingyu's ears, and he couldn't hear it over and over again. He knew that this person was just a reckless person. Husband, just smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I have troubled you to come all the way. He will pack up and pack, and please wait in the courtyard."

After dismissing the stupid man who didn't understand the scriptures, He Lingyu pulled Xu Liushan into the inner room, took a silver needle from the table, flipped it over in his hand, and quickly inserted the thin needle into the two squares with precision. In the wall facing her, only a few cracking sounds were heard. The seemingly seamless wall was actually divided into two halves from the middle, and after entering, it was the underground storage of materials and weapons in the auxiliary station. .

He Lingyu quickly looked at the labels on each box from top to bottom, and asked sideways in his spare time: "How many people did he bring?"

Xu Liushan turned around and carefully restored the wall to its original state, took the silver needle and inserted it into his hair: "About 30 people probably pulled all his gatekeepers here."

"While he is trying to win us over, he is trying his best to demonstrate his ability to gather the world's strongest Jianghu sect into his palm... like a courtship male peacock blowing its tail to show off..." He Lingyu said slowly After finishing speaking, his eyebrows frowned suddenly, "How did I number this box? It seemed to be recorded on a piece of sea pattern paper..."

"Don't worry, I'll save that paper for you."

He Lingyu turned his head with a face full of shock, and saw Xu Liushan leisurely looking around in a bookcase next to Box Mountain. When he was wandering in the vast sea of ​​books, he could be said to be in a calm state of mind. When he saw the footnotes of a certain book, his erratic eyes suddenly stopped, he reached out and gently pulled out the book, brushed off the thick dust accumulated on the pages and handed it to He Lingyu: The one in the middle should be yours."

He Lingyu was a little stunned, but because of his paralyzed face, he always had no expression on his face, so he looked a little straight-eyed: "Brother Xu..."

Xu Liushan told her that the staring gaze made her feel a little distracted, and quickly coughed twice to remind her: "If you don't have a good memory, find someone to take care of you later. The world is unpredictable and it's not peaceful. I have never returned, so I will definitely stay here and cannot leave. You are currently working in the Northwest Army, and I am really worried about you. If there is someone..."

The more I said this, the more I couldn't find the edge and ran around, Xu Liushan hurriedly stopped talking, but it was too late, even a straight-hearted and careless person like He Lingyu could have heard these words There is no open and honest affection in it.

She slowly unfolded the small half of sea pattern paper, but involuntarily turned half of her body slightly, her eyes were not focused, she knocked something over and fell to the ground with a clear and clean sound.

Looking down, it turned out to be a Bodhisattva statue that Xu Liushan had been enshrining on the bookcase all these years.

If a vase and porcelain are broken, it is just an object for appreciation, and a few catties and a few taels of silver will be compensated according to the amount, but such a fragmented Bodhisattva statue will pollute people's beliefs and be a bit humiliating.

"Brother Xu...this..." She has always been not good at words, even at this point, she still has to spend some time to think about her words before she speaks, "It's because I'm frizzy and clumsy, I'm really sorry... this, Can you find a roughly similar one in the temple, I will compensate you."

To her surprise, Xu Liushan only frowned slightly after hearing the words "I'll pay you", other than that, his expression seemed to be a little calm and relieved, and there was even a half smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Xu..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't believe in Bodhisattvas."

He lowered his brows and looked at the scattered debris on the ground, a sense of joy of smashing a pot and smashing it came up in his heart for no reason, and the pain like self-abuse spread from the bottom of his heart, as if the thoughts that he had used for her in the past were all followed by this. With a soft bang, the ashes disappeared.

I don't know who and why I have been begging for this statue of Guangfeng Jiyue Bodhisattva all these years, but only a few three or four have come true.

If there is really a god, it should be comforted by hearing that his most sincere wish could not be realized, and instead realized a few trivial things that are not necessary.

He Lingyu stood in the same place silently, watching the man ignoring cutting his hands to pick up the fragments, and the ground was covered with blood in a moment, finally couldn't stand it anymore, knelt down and handed a square scarf.

He turned his head stiffly, the white eyeballs were almost full of scarlet and bloodshot, revealing the gentle and elegant man who usually pretended to be like a rakshasa.

However, she never looked into his eyes, and lightly landed a finger on the nearest fragment of the Bodhisattva statue in front of her, her expression unchanged, and with a flick of her wrist, a sharp and sharp bloodstain appeared on her fingertips.

"It hurts," He Lingyu stood up slowly, put the bleeding finger in his mouth and sucked it indifferently, looked at the rolled up flesh and said softly, "But the mortal body is not heaven. Shake the ground and shake things up, don't ruin yourself for others."

Xu Liushan lowered his head and stopped looking at her.

After a long while, I felt my hair loosen, and the silver needle penetrated into the crack of the wall. After a bang, the man left quietly with his hands behind his back.
