[Sword Three] In the days when I was forced to become Wanhua

After Tang Wuyuan took a bath, he put on his pajamas and went to bed to catch up on sleep.Su Qian asked someone to change a bucket of water, and soaked it carefully herself, except for the dust all over her body.After he finished washing, Tang Wuyuan in the inner room was already fast asleep, and Su Qian didn't want to go in to wake him up, so she put on a coat and went to the gazebo in the garden, lit a stick of incense, and the gentle and delicate fragrance was wafted by the curling smoke. Scattered all over the house.

Different from the pine and cypress fragrance that Su Qian was used to, the incense he lit at the moment had a strong fragrance of rouge and powder, and when it dissipated with the wind, it turned into boundless tenderness.Like a beauty using her little finger to dab rouge on her lips, it is flattering but not coquettish, glamorous but not vulgar, so this fragrant Suqian is called "beauty lips".

He originally wanted to take some moonlight and pound some pills for preparation, but he was drawn into the boundless soft red by this little fragrance, and he didn't know where his thoughts went, and he stared at the cigarette in a daze.

Occasionally, the night wind would roll up layers of veils and gently brush Su Qian's robe.The coat embroidered with water patterns was rolled up, and then slowly fell down. The gold and silver threads on the coat were shimmering in the moonlight, wrinkling a pool of spring water.

I don't know how long after, a gray shadow came from the courtyard, smelled the fragrance, randomly found a railing and sat down, took a deep breath and said: "This fragrance is good, I thought it was from Pingkangfang. It came here, and I went around it on purpose, but I didn’t expect the source to be here.”

Su Qian woke up from the fugue, turned her head to look at Ling Lingsan, and said, "Pingkangfang? That's a lively place... I haven't been there for a long time. You're very excited... If you are captured by Marquis Wu , I will not redeem you."

"An ordinary Wuhou can find me? Have I degenerated to this point?" Ling Lingsan rested his chin and said leisurely, "Master, why did you come to Chang'an all of a sudden?"

Su Qian straightened her sleeves, found a stone mortar from the medical basket, put some herbs in it, fiddled with it, and said angrily: "This world is chaotic and has such a virtue, do you think I want to get rid of it from all over the world?" Came out of Flower Valley?"

"If I don't settle you down, what if you stay here? Do you still want to retire in peace?" Su Qian said, "Although you are not so stupid, what if? Do you want to live a good life?"

"Naturally." Ling Lingsan stretched his waist, and leaped from the railing to the roof like a dexterous cat: "Today's moonlight is just right."

He changed his posture and poked his head out to look at Su Qian: "But I have something to say. I originally wanted them to say it themselves, but now the timing is right, so I'll say it for them."

"What's the matter?" Su Qian looked up at him.

Ling Lingsan scratched his hair, but still drew his head back. It was too embarrassing to meet Su Qian's eyes—even if Su Qian just looked at you quietly, he still has the ability to make you unable to tell what he doesn't want to hear matter. "We would like to resign."

"You?" Su Qian asked again, and repeated: "You?"

"Yes, we." Ling Lingsan sighed from the roof: "If you want to take care of your old age, you have to make some effort."

"What's the effort?" Su Qian repeated: "What's the strength? Are you crazy?!"

"I thought you were admitted to Minghua at the time, because you were tired of the days of licking blood, and you still had strength, and you were not old, and you were still standing on the top without faltering—in order to have a place to spend your days leisurely, and earn some money... ...In the future, buy some land, buy a house, marry two wives and concubines, and become a rich man?" He asked in disbelief: "Isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right. That's what we think." Ling Lingsan's muffled voice came from the top: "The security bandits have already occupied Luoyang and are already heading for Chang'an... still can't just sit back and watch, the country will not be the country, How else can you be a rich man?"

"With your abilities, you can go to Yangzhou or Chengdu. It's not impossible to build a village by yourself in the mountains. Why bother to join in?"

"We've already discussed it...Master, don't try to persuade us." Ling Lingsan said, "We don't have the face to ask for the commission for this period of time. When you leave Chang'an after finishing your business, we will leave immediately."

"..." Su Qian knew that there was nothing more to persuade, so she stretched out her hands to rub the center of her brows because of her headache. "...It's up to you."

"I'm sorry." Ling Lingsan said, "If I can... well, if I can come back, let's talk about it."

Su Qian sat alone in the gazebo for a long time, made medicine and made pills with honey, and only packed up and went back to the room when everything was done.

As soon as he entered the room carrying the cold wind and night dew, Tang Wuyuan who was lying on the bed opened his eyes. "You're back?"

"En." Su Qian responded, and he went to the table and bent down to search for something in the medical basket. Tang Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, sensing that Su Qian's mood was not right, he heard Su Qian coldly say: "Take off your clothes and go on your stomach."

Tang Wuyuan took off his pajamas neatly and went to lie on his stomach.

Su Qian searched for some of Pei Yuan's secret emerald gel from the medical basket and picked it out - this thing closed very quickly, but the process was not very good.He sat on the edge of the bed and slapped Tang Wuyuan's shoulder, saying: "Don't move, it may hurt a little, bear with it."

"Well—" Tang Wuyuan responded, and relaxed all over. Su Qian dipped some gel paste on the wound on his body with a jade stick, tried to calm her breath, and asked, "Why did you say that the arrester from other places just now?" Coming to Beijing is not a good sign?"

Tang Wuyuan closed his eyes, and said softly: "If there is not a problem in Chang'an city, why bother to transfer Yangzhou to Chang'an? The distance between them is not one or two points. There are always cities around Chang'an, why not transfer from those places? What's more, the catcher Gao Sheng from Yangzhou is going to Luoyang, there is absolutely no reason to cross Luoyang to Chang'an."

"Excuse me, is there someone in the Yangzhou policeman's family?"

"It's not impossible." Tang Wuyuan said: "I'm afraid there is a grudge, the chaos in Chang'an city has emerged, the shadow of the Spike Army is everywhere, and the people of Chang'an have shown signs of fleeing. At this time, they are still sending people to Chang'an..."

Su Qian couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but couldn't help frowning after laughing. "It's already here?"

He threw the painted jade stick and the medicine box aside, touched a wooden comb, gathered Tang Wuyuan's long hair, and carefully caged it for him. "...If that's the case, I'll send a letter to tell him to leave Chang'an later."

"Wuyuan... Your mission has been completed? Why don't you come to Wanhua to find me after you have completed it?"

"Not yet." Tang Wuyuan paused, and said concisely: "There are new tasks."

Su Qian put down the comb and was still playing with the other party's long hair. Although she had already guessed some results, she still wanted to ask a question. He said flatly, "I'll be blunt, and you will go with me tomorrow Huashan, after the people at the hot spring village are settled, come back to Wanhua Valley with me... Don't get involved in this matter."

"Why?" Tang Wuyuan was stunned, then opened his eyes and sat up. He was about to say something, but Su Qian covered his mouth with his hand, and Su Qian said, "I don't want to explain too much, I just want to say one thing." , you still want to be with me, so come back to Wanhua with me."

Tang Wuyuan fell silent, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Qian's wrist, stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Don't ask for shelter from the wind and rain alone, just because Taoyuan is not in a dream?"

"I won't talk about anything with you." Su Qian blinked, tried to soften her voice, and said in a low voice: "If you want, you can go back to Wanhua with me or I can go back to Tang with you." Jiabao, it’s really not good, the Valley of the Wicked is also fine, when the world is stable, you can do whatever you want, okay?”

Tang Wuyuan asked: "Why? You are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Su Qian exerted a little force to release his wrist from Tang Wuyuan's palm, and he put his palm on it.He looked into Tang Wuyuan's eyes, and said very seriously: "You are wrong, I, Su Qian, am a cowardly, selfish, selfish person."

I have been pretending to be someone else for too long, and I am too much alike, to the point where I can hardly tell what is my original self.But he didn't care about these at first, who was like whom, who was better, after all, no matter what happened, the former Su Qian couldn't come back, and neither could he.It's just that sometimes... he doesn't even dare to think, Tang Wuyuan, Pei Yuan, Mr. Mudan, Minghua, Mo Yu, Mao Mao, and so many juniors and juniors... who is he in love with.

You are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

You are wrong, dead wrong.I am a selfish little person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the good and fearing the evil, relying on a good skin I got by chance to pretend to be a romantic celebrity, I seem to be somewhat successful... Actually I am not, I am not that Su Qian is 'not greedy for life and afraid of death'.

"What happens in this world has nothing to do with me." Su Qian looked away, stared down at Tang Wuyuan's hand, he couldn't help shaking it gently, and said in a low voice: "As long as the people related to me live well Land, where I can eat well and sleep well, I only protect what I can... This country belongs to Li Tang, what does it have to do with me? One, nothing."

Tang Wuyuan wanted to say something, Fang opened his mouth slightly, but was interrupted by Su Qian. "I know what you want to say - everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country."

"If I say that Anlu Mountain will definitely not be successful, but within a year or two, Anlu Mountain will definitely lose. This country is still under the control of Li Tang's family. Do you still want to go?"

"Why don't you go?" Tang Wuyuan asked suspiciously: "Since we must win, why don't you go?"

Su Qian smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling even a little aggrieved. "How come I recognize them, they are all saints."

"Don't tell me that warriors are strong, one against ten... When it comes to the actual battlefield, one against ten is fine, one against one hundred? One against one thousand? One against ten thousand? Random punches can kill you Teacher, let alone you."

Su Qian didn't say a word, and didn't want to say it.

Pei Yuan went, Mr. Yan left the valley, nearly half of the thousands of flower disciples quietly left the valley, Yin Yuanwei, who was tired of killing, was about to leave the mountain, and even Tang Wuyuan did not hesitate... It seemed that everyone was heading forward , only he stayed where he was, and even wanted to go back a few steps.

No one thought that if these people never came back, wouldn't he be sad?

If no one he acquainted with goes, the country will remain the same, everyone will live happily together, no one will die, and no one will be hurt, isn't it good?What's wrong with still living the days of flying horses and talking and laughing?

All the good things were said, but no one listened to him.

——Why did he recognize all saints?
