Three thousand world

【Lu Yaner】

——A lifetime of love for one person

It's still raining.

Outside the house is the familiar scenery of willow trees, small bridges and flowing water. Although Chang'an is not like the southern country, there are always scenes of "rain hitting plantains", but Lu Yan'er has long been used to such drizzle late nights.

It has been the ninth year since my father came to the Central Plains.

In nine years, the girl who was used to seeing the setting sun in the desert, the brown-haired and blue-eyed woman wearing a black gauze, and the yellow sand flying in the sky has now grown into a girl who is used to Chang'an.

Nine years have passed, many years in her life have passed, but she still remembers the first time she saw Chang'an.

Neat and exquisite houses, flat streets that can accommodate eight horses, bluestone steps that are still cold in summer, bottomless alleys, and this is just a few days of spring drizzle and walking with oil-paper umbrellas Central Plains women on the street.Everything is different from Beyond the Great Wall.The Western Regions are warm and hot, Chang'an is gentle and soft; the Western Regions are long rivers with sunset, Chang'an is pavilions...

Lu Yan'er really likes the Central Plains.

Whenever it rained at night, she would lie on the bed, quietly listening to the sound of the rain, and looking at her favorite Chang'an.

The night was extraordinarily long.

Not only because of the rain, but also because many people came to the house during the day.Lu Yan'er only knew that those people were his father's subordinates, and they were extremely famous figures in the Ming Cult, but she didn't know why her father left her at home alone that night.

"Jacques, where did father and the others go?" Lu Yan'er reached out and played with a wooden pony next to the pillow.

It was carved by my father himself.

The father said: "Children of the Central Plains often received dolls made by their parents when they were young. You are a girl, but it is not appropriate for your father to carve a wooden dagger for you. Carved into shape. Do you like it?"

"Yan'er, the Central Plains is beautiful, but I hope you will always remember that you were born in the Western Regions, and you are different from the people here."

"What's the difference?"

"You are like this little horse. When you grow up, you will run in the vast world instead of sitting in this square yard. Although the Central Plains is good, it can't compare with the wider world."

"But I saw my father's horses living in the yard too."

"Different."

"What's the difference?"

"Different."

"Where is it different? Where is it different? Where..."

Lu Yan'er was still young at that time, and there were countless curiosity and questions in her mind, and she would not give up without asking why.Facing her questioning with shaking head, Lu Weilou never refused.But that day, Lu Weilou just hugged Lu Yan'er, patted her on the back, and repeated "different" over and over again.

But now that a few years have passed, she seems to understand some of what her father said back then, but she doesn't seem to understand it even more.

"Jacques, tell me... what's the difference?" Lu Yan'er spoke to the pony again.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning from outside tore a bright hole in the black sky, followed by a thunderous thunder.The wind whistled and blew in from the window, blowing out all the candles in the house.

Lu Yan'er was startled, and hurriedly got back into the quilt to wrap her head.

After waiting for a while, the room was quiet, and Lu Yan'er slowly poked her head out again, reaching out to bring Jacques over, but the door was suddenly knocked open with a bang.

"Ah!" Lu Yan'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Yan'er, it's me."

"Father?" Lu Yan'er recognized that it was Lu Weilou, jumped out of the bed barefoot, ran to the door, and threw herself into Lu Weilou's arms like the old days.

Lu Weilou had already knelt down, caught Lu Yan'er, and called softly, "Yan'er."

"Father, you're back!" Lu Yan'er rubbed against Lu Weilou, but felt her face was wet, slippery and sticky, but she didn't care, "Is it raining heavily outside? Why is it so noisy? "

Lu Weilou let go of Lu Yan'er, and stared at the little girl who had grown up in front of her for a moment. Lu Weilou was backlit, but Lu Yan'er couldn't see the look on his face clearly. She only felt that her father was very serious that night.

Just when Lu Yan'er was about to ask, Lu Weilou turned around, put a coir raincoat on Lu Yan'er, tidied it carefully, and said, "Yan'er, now you go with your seventh uncle. Everyone else, be careful." After that, Lu Weilou turned slightly sideways, and then Lu Yan'er saw clearly that there was a person standing behind her father.

This person was dressed in a gray robe and had nothing on his body except for a bamboo hat to avoid water on his head. His appearance was plain and his expression was also very plain.This person is not a disciple of the sect, and Lu Yan'er has never seen it before. What is strange to her is that this person looks like he is only in his early twenties, and he is still young. The tone of voice, when mentioning this person, is actually very dependent.

Lu Yan'er shrank slightly towards Lu Weilou, unwilling to go with this person.

Lu Weilou ignored Lu Yan'er, stood up, and said to the man very heavily and helplessly: "I'll leave everything to you."

"Yeah." The man only responded in a low voice, then looked at the suspicious Lu Yan'er, with a harmless smile on his face, and nodded slightly.

"Father, I don't..."

"Yan'er, you have to listen to what father says."

Lu Yan'er has always been well-behaved and obedient, and Lu Weilou seldom talks to her in such a tone. The atmosphere here is different from the past, and Lu Yan'er vaguely feels oppressed and indescribably heavy.

Lu Weilou glanced at the sky, pushed Lu Yan'er in front of that person, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go. Please!"

The man nodded, took off the bamboo hat on his head, put it lightly on top of Lu Yan'er's head, reached out and grabbed Lu Yan'er's hand, and pulled Lu Yan'er into the rain.

Lu Yan'er hurriedly turned her head, but she could only see Lu Weilou's crescent-colored robe in the darkness.

Lu Yan'er didn't shout until she ran out of her yard.

After leaving the courtyard, the man dragged Lu Yan'er into an alley, walking very quickly.Lu Yan'er was wearing a long dress of a woman from the Central Plains, and she couldn't see the path under her feet in the dark, she just walked forward, and lost her shoes after stumbling.But he never spoke.

Finally, the man seemed to have sensed something and stopped suddenly.

Lu Yan'er couldn't help asking: "Seventh Uncle, you..." But the man covered her mouth and signaled not to speak.

He hugged Lu Yan'er tightly in his arms, and the two of them squatted in a corner of the alley, almost still breathing.

After a while, he let out a breath and said, "It seems that all the people who responded have been killed by Tiance. It really is not easy. Oh, this is terrible." After waiting for a while, he looked at Lu Yan'er, "There are many people outside Want to kill you, aren't you afraid?"

"Father wants me to follow you, and you will protect me."

The man pursed his lips. He didn't expect this girl to be so courageous, but he shook his head, looked out and said, "You and I have never met before, so you put your life in my hands?"

"Father said to follow Uncle Qi, so I will follow Uncle Qi. I'm not afraid, Uncle Qi, are you afraid?" Lu Yan'er said.

The man turned his head suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face. After a while, he squeezed his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? Why are they trying to stop me? Oh, Uncle Qi will take you out of Chang'an right now." He stood up while speaking.

Lu Yan'er nodded, and stood close to the man, holding the corner of the man's clothes tightly with a pair of small white hands.

Just as the man was about to take a step, he stopped, bent down suddenly, hugged Lu Yan'er, and put her on his shoulders. He tore off the hat that was in the way, glanced at the sky, and said, "I'm afraid this weather will See blood. Girl Yan'er, close your eyes and don't shout."

Lu Yan'er nodded, "Yeah." Then she closed her eyes obediently, and pressed her lips tightly.

The man chuckled when he saw it, and said, "My name is Wei Qiwu, you remember it."

---------------------------

That was the first time Lu Yan'er saw Wei Qiwu.

Many people died that night.

Blood splashed all over Lu Yan'er's face, she heard shouts, fights, injuries...

But she kept her eyes and mouth tightly closed, from beginning to end.

When she opened her eyes, she was already in the desert she was extremely familiar with.

One day and one night, Wei Qiwu lived up to his entrustment and led Lu Yan'er all the way out of Chang'an.Entering the desert, the Tiance army did not pursue them any more, and the two escaped with their lives.

At that time, Lu Yan'er didn't know much about these Jianghu affairs. It was only a few years later that she learned from Lu Weilou that the Mingjiao's "Holy Fire" operation was launched in Daguangming Temple that night. However, the spies betrayed Mingjiao and Mingjiao was destroyed disaster.

Lu Yan'er asked: "Who wants to kill us?"

Lu Weilou just said lightly: "Break the order."

"Who is breaking the order? Is he very powerful?"

Lu Weilou didn't answer.

In the 25th year of Tang Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong issued a "Break Legislative Order", except for the religions on the list, all of them were cults.Mingjiao, which has been prosperous in the Central Plains for many years and even built the Daguangming Temple in Chang'an, was besieged and suppressed by the Royal Tiance Army with the title of "Wolf of the Eastern Capital" because of this edict, suffered heavy losses, and almost wiped out.

All sub-rudders in the Central Plains were encircled and suppressed, many members of the sect were killed and injured, and most of the important figures in the sect were also lost in the battle of Da Guangming Temple.

Overnight, Mingjiao was forced to leave.

Recalling that night, Lu Yan'er didn't know how Lu Weilou and the others escaped later, but she later learned that Wei Qiwu, known as "Wanli Changfeng", was a famous thief in the world.He is a man of righteousness, and he is very good at lightness. Because his teacher ranks seventh, he is also called Wei Qi.

But after that, Lu Yan'er never saw Uncle Qi again.

Lu Yan'er sighed, leaned back, and lay down on the tiles of the roof.

The palace under her is called "Great Light Palace".When the Ming religion was flourishing, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered to build this hall for the disciples to defeat the God of Light.However, before the completion of the work, an order was issued.

The temple is abandoned here.

"Zuo Si, you go back first, I want to stay here alone all night."

A hoarse and frightening male voice came from below: "This subordinate will protect the safety of the saint."

Lu Yan'er burst out laughing, and said, "You." After laughing, he sighed again.

Zuo Sidao: "The saint sighed because of Wei Qiwu of Dihua Palace? I killed him."

"Nonsense!" Lu Yan'er raised her voice, but turned soft again, "Father always said that God loves the world, but the world doesn't love each other. Why kill? God doesn't like us killing people."

"He wants to kill the saint, I will kill him."

"How could Uncle Seven kill me? Uncle Seven won't kill me. He won't kill me. He just... doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where he is or who he is with, as long as he is alive and he remembers Me, I'm very happy."
