Northern River Sword

At noon, after dinner with Qin Yanbo, Su Yi dismissed the servants and said he wanted to take a walk by himself.

He walked to the west corner door and walked out on crutches.There was someone guarding the door outside, and when he saw him, he bowed and said, "Where are you going, the young master will take you there with a sedan chair."

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "I'll walk around casually, you don't need to worry about me."

Everyone dared not stop him and watched him go.The gentle breeze in early spring makes people feel comfortable.Su Yi stomped his feet, feeling that his bones were growing well, so he simply threw away his crutches and limped forward.

He thought to himself: "Qiaoer can't find me these days, she must be very anxious, and I don't know if she is still waiting for me at the inn?" Thinking of this, he went to the inn to look for it.

Su Yi walked through a small alley, where the sun did not shine and it looked very shady.Su Yi suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and walked more and more hurriedly.

He looked back and saw two people walking quickly, holding his arms on the left and right.Su Yi was taken aback, raised his arms to shake off the two people, and shouted: "Who are you?" Before he finished speaking, he felt the wind whistling behind him, his head suddenly hurt, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

The man behind him put down the scabbard, cupped his hands to Su Yi and said, "That's not right, Mr. Qin. The princess said that you have excellent martial arts skills, so we don't need to resort to tricks, I'm afraid we won't be able to invite you."

The other two quickly lifted Su Yi, stuffed him into a small green baize sedan chair by the roadside, and carried the sedan chair away.

Su Yi had a severe headache, and he smelled a scent in a daze.He has gained some experience in the general's mansion, and he knows that it is ambergris, which makes this kind of incense either rich or expensive, and it is not affordable for idlers.He opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on a big soft bed, and a woman was sitting by the bed, looking at him with a smile.

The woman was dressed gorgeously, with a slim figure, extremely beautiful appearance and high spirits.Su Yi thought he was dreaming, and rubbed his eyes, the woman was still in front of him.

The woman smiled and said: "Qin Lang, we finally met again. I sent people to lie in wait for you outside the general's mansion for more than a month. I know you are filial to your aunt and will always go home. Didn't you tell my people to wait for you?" "

Su Yi's mind turned quickly, and he thought: "She thought I was Qin Xiao? Why did she send someone to ambush Qin Xiao?"

He didn't speak, and the woman said: "I heard that you fell from the mountain and injured your leg. Don't worry, Duan Ruyi is devoted to you and will never despise you. Even if you lose both legs, I would also like to serve you forever."

Su Yi was taken aback, and thought to himself: "She is Duan Ruyi? That's right... she rushed over with soldiers that day, even though she was wearing armor, she could still see her beautiful face. Now that she put on this clothes, she looks even more beautiful. It’s the beauty of the sky. Brother Qin, brother Qin, God treats you very kindly. He gave you such a good mother and gave you such a beautiful woman. But don’t worry, friends’ wives should not be bullied. I am a loyal person. I will never let you wear a cuckold."

Su Yi sat up, feeling a pain in the back of his head.He bared his teeth and said, "Your people are really ruthless, I'm afraid my head has been split."

Duan Ruyi hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him rub the sore spot, saying: "Qin Lang, don't be angry, the little ones don't know the severity of their actions, I'll ask someone to beat them hard!"

Su Yi got up and said: "There is no need to fight. It's getting late, I have to go."

Duan Ruyi immediately opened her arms to stop her and said, "You are not allowed to leave! Brother Emperor refused to let me go out. I found you with great difficulty. When will I see you again after you leave!"

Su Yi said vaguely: "I will definitely come in a few days, just wait obediently."

Duan Ruyi was not to be fooled by him, and held him tight, shouting: "Come here, the son-in-law is going to escape, quickly tie him up."

Immediately, several burly men rushed in from outside the door, and surrounded Su Yi with a very aggressive aura.Su Yi was startled, and said to himself: "This house is all her people, it's not wise to forcefully break in."

Seeing that the wind was turning the rudder very fast, he smiled and said, "What are you so nervous about? I'm just joking with the princess. The princess is so beautiful, even if she chases me with a big broom, I won't leave."

He sat down and said to the princess: "Big beauty, come and talk with me. Everyone else goes out."

Naturally, everyone did not listen to his orders, and all waited for the princess to speak.Seeing that Su Yi's attitude was not bad, the princess relaxed.She said: "You all wait outside, guard the yard carefully, and don't come in without orders."

Su Yi thought in his heart: "This is for me to tell me not to run away. This woman is so difficult to deal with, no wonder Qin Xiao runs faster than anything else when seeing her like a mouse seeing a cat."

Everyone went out.Su Yi sat in the room with a sad face, as if feeling very uncomfortable.

The princess rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Qin Lang, I'll ask someone to bring some tea and snacks, let's talk while eating."

She got up to give some instructions, and after a while the maid brought tea.The princess turned around and quickly took something from the dressing table.

Su Yi's eyes were bright, and he saw that she had hidden a pinch of powder under her nails.He thought to himself: "This girl wants to poison me? In terms of blowing drugs through bamboo pipes and poisoning in wine, I will be your master. How dare you use such three-legged tricks in front of me?" Showing off?" He was amused in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

The princess walked over gracefully, gently rubbing the back of Su Yi's head with one hand, with her wide sleeve hanging down to cover his face, she said softly, "Does your head still hurt?"

Su Yi caught a glimpse of the princess flicking the powder into his teacup, and said with a smile, "It hurts badly, but after you knead it like this, it doesn't hurt at all."

As he spoke, he took the princess's hand.The princess blushed and lowered her head shyly.

Su Yi stared at her, looking affectionate and gentle.The princess's heart is bumping like a deer, and she is like a young girl in love in front of her sweetheart.Su Yi took the opportunity to switch the two cups of tea and said, "Sit down."

The princess was dazzled by the sudden happiness, intoxicated by it, and obeyed him.Su Yi picked up the tea and drank it. Seeing that he drank it all in one gulp, the princess felt proud and smiled.

Su Yi deliberately said: "Why don't you drink?"

The princess hurriedly said: "I drink, I drink." She drank the tea and said softly: "I won't tell anyone, no one knows you are here. Let's be a couple of gods and gods here, you say OK?"

Su Yi said coldly: "That can't be done."

The princess said: "If you don't agree, you have to agree, because you...you are convinced..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she already felt dizzy and couldn't control herself.She suddenly understood what was going on, and said angrily, "You...!"

Su Yi smiled and said: "Your medicine is good, it is colorless and tasteless, and the onset is fast. It's just that it's too disrespectful for a dignified princess to use this kind of thing. It's okay to use it like a little beggar like me."

The princess has passed out.Su Yi originally wanted to escape like this, but seeing through the door there were a dozen or so figures outside, it was impossible to walk out unscathed.Su Yi cursed secretly: "This ghost girl has a lot of eyes, she is afraid that I will run away and call so many people to guard outside."

He turned around the room a few times, and his eyes fell on the princess.The princess was still awake, Su Yi tied her up with a belt, picked up the teapot and poured water on her face.The princess let out a breath, and opened her eyes in a daze.Su Yi said: "Don't make a sound, I have a few words to ask you."

The princess struggled a few times, but couldn't break free. She looked a little frightened, and then opened her mouth to call for help.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Yi immediately stuffed her mouth with a handkerchief.The princess whined, and Su Yi was afraid of being heard, so he slapped her in a hurry.

That blow was not severe, but daring to beat the princess is a serious crime against the Jiuzu.Duan Ruyi opened her eyes wide, as if suddenly struck by lightning.Su Yi was also frightened, and said repeatedly: "I...I didn't do it on purpose, don't...don't ask your brother to settle accounts with me."

Su Yi stretched out his hand and slapped himself twice, his face was burning with pain, and his palms also ached, and said: "I fought back for you, one slap for two, and you took advantage of me."

Duan Ruyi chuckled, her eyes softened.Su Yi said: "Are you still angry with me?"

The princess shook her head.Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll take off the handkerchief, will you call someone?"

The princess shook her head again.Su Yi then pulled out the handkerchief, the princess stopped shouting as expected, looked at Su Yi with watery eyes, and said softly: "Qin Lang, let me go quickly."

Su Yi's scalp became numb from her look, and he said, "You...don't look at me like that, I'm not your Qin Lang."

The princess thought he was shy and said with a smile: "Then what do you like me to call you? I will listen to you whatever you say."

Su Yi said: "Well, you send everyone outside."

The princess shook her head and said, "No. As soon as they leave, you have to run away immediately."

Su Yi was a little annoyed, and said in his heart: "This girl is determined to lock me up. It doesn't matter if the person she locked up is Qin Xiao, but why should I be imprisoned here for him!"

Duan Ru felt that his expression was irritable, and said softly: "Qin Lang, don't be angry. I have no other intentions, I just want to be with you all the time. A while ago, you cruelly abandoned me and ran away. Brother Emperor is very angry with you. He said that there are plenty of good men in the world, but I am not allowed to marry you. I said that other people are like mud and leprosy compared to you. Annoyed together, punish me for half a year. I was imprisoned in the mansion all because of you, you can't let me down!"

She blamed Qin Xiao for being punished for dispatching troops without permission, and asked him to give her a big favor.Su Yi didn't care about these, his expression was indifferent, and he thought: "So what, you can settle the score with Qin Xiao."

Seeing that he was indifferent, the princess was a little disappointed, and felt that Qin Xiao had always been so cold and ignored everything, and she just liked his unattainable appearance.He had a playful smile before, but it wasn't interesting, so the cold brow was just to her liking.

Su Yi saw what she was thinking, and said to himself: "Oops, I'm afraid the more I resemble Qin Xiao, the more she likes me. I can't stay any longer, even if I force my way, I have to go!" He strode towards the door , Duan Ruyi said loudly: "Stop!"

Su Yi ignored her, and the princess said: "I know you are strong in martial arts, and those people outside can't stop you. However, trespassing on the princess' mansion and injuring my guards are not small crimes. If the emperor finds out, He will definitely punish the Qin family severely. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother. "

Su Yi shuddered and said in his heart: "Qin Xiao has saved me several times, and his mother has treated me well. I can't implicate them. Although this princess is good-looking, she has a wicked temper. No wonder Qin Xiao doesn't like it." she."

Su Yi became angry and glared at the princess.Duan Ruyi was a little afraid of him, but also liked the way he was annoyed with her, and said softly: "Good Qin Lang, as long as you don't leave, I will promise you whatever you want."

Su Yi's face was sullen, more and more like an iceberg.He strode to the head of the bed, pulled out the dagger worn at his waist, and said, "I want to cut your nose to drink, do you agree?"

Duan Ru pointed a sharp knife towards his face, startled, and shouted: "Bold! How dare you threaten this princess!"

Su Yi made a vicious look, gestured with a knife and said, "Don't you just like this tune? I'll cut off your nose first, then cut off your two pig ears, take a sip of wine, and see One look at your ugly appearance, that's called happiness!"

He wanted to make Duan Ruyi hate him. It would be best if she felt scared when she saw him, and asked someone to drive him out.

Duan Ruyi grew up, and everyone around her was respectful to her, and no one dared to talk to her like that.She was angry and anxious, two lines of tears flowed down, and she cried: "You bastard, you are the ugly monster, you...don't act like this princess just because you like you. Believe it or not, I'll ask someone to take your Cut off the ears!"

Su Yi said indifferently: "You try it?"

Duan Ruyi recalled that Qin Xiao's martial arts were very good, so many people outside were no match for him.At the time, I was afraid that he was still unscathed, and his nose was gone.

Su Yi took a knife and pressed Duan Ruyi's face, Duan Ruyi exclaimed, afraid of losing his face.She was born beautiful, so she cherished her appearance very much, so she didn't dare to lose her temper at this time, so she could only beg for mercy: "Don't slap me, I'll just let you go."

Su Yi said: "You tell everyone to disperse first."

Duan Ruyi reluctantly said: "People outside don't have to guard anymore, they all spread out, spread out!"

When the guards heard what the princess said, they were a little confused and dared not leave for a while.Duan Ru thought that there were still people outside, so proud of himself, he said to Su Yi: "I told you, they don't want to leave, it's no fault of me."

Su Yi was also very sorry, and sighed: "Then you will be a beauty without a nose!"

Duan Ruyi panicked, and quickly shouted: "The people outside have dispersed! I want to have a sweet word with my son-in-law, you are not allowed to get in the way here, you all go away! Go as far as you can!"

When the guards heard her lose their temper, they didn't dare to disobey and withdrew one after another.Duan Ruyi said pitifully: "Everyone is gone, should you let me go?"

Su Yi was afraid that she would go back on her word, and also that she would sue the emperor afterwards, which would implicate Qin Xiao's family.He rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said: "You are a princess, you should be quite rich, right?"

Duan Ruyi didn't know what he meant by that, Su Yi cut off the belt that bound her, grabbed her finger, and swiped the knife lightly on it.Duan Ruyi screamed, blood oozing from her snow-white fingertips.She said angrily: "What are you doing!"

Su Yi took her hand and quickly wrote a few words on the handkerchief, 'Duan Ruyi owes Qin Xiao ten thousand taels of silver today'.He took her finger and pressed a handprint.Duan Ruyi's face turned pale when he saw so much money written, and he pulled his hand back desperately.However, Su Yi wrote so fast that he had finished writing crookedly.

Duan Ruyi was about to cry, and said anxiously: "What are you doing, I don't have so much money! It doesn't count!"

Su Yi put the handkerchief in his bosom, grinned and said, "You signed the deposit with your own handwriting, so it doesn't count. If you go to sue, I have no choice but to ask you to pay back the money first. If you don't bother me for a day, I will I won't ask you for money for a day. If you don't bother me all your life, that would be the best, and I don't want you to pay back the money. "

Duan Ruyi was extremely annoyed, but smiled instead.She looked at Su Yi as if she was looking at something interesting and rare.Su Yi's scalp became numb from her stare, and he said, "You... You see, I'm useless, I have to go."

Duan Ruyi said softly: "Wait a minute." While speaking, he grabbed him, and his body wrapped around him like a snake.

Su Yi was caught off guard by her and forced to the bedside, his whole body was stiff, his heart was pounding, he was so frightened that he even forgot to breathe.Duan Ruyi's lips touched his face lightly, the fragrance of her body was sweet and soft, making people's hearts flutter.

Su Yi's mind was in a daze, and his consciousness exploded like thousands of fireworks.Duan Ruyi's hand went into the skirt of his shirt, quietly pulled out the IOU, and threw it into the charcoal basin beside the bed.

Su Yi regained his composure, his face flushed red.Duan Ruyi chuckled and said, "Qin Lang, I just like your obedient appearance."

Su Yi realized that he was actually kissed by Qin Xiao's woman, he was so embarrassed that he didn't even care about the proof.He pushed Duan Ruyi away and ran away with one hand and one foot.

Duan Ruyi looked at his back and said proudly: "Hmph, fight with me, you are still early!"

Su Yi fled out of the Princess Mansion in a hurry, he didn't dare to go through the gate, he jumped over the wall and jumped out.As soon as he landed, four or five people swarmed up, pulling him away without any explanation.

Su Yi took a closer look and saw that these were all the guards of the General's Mansion.The leader is Lin Chuan, the leader of the guards, who has always been loyal to him.Su Yi was captured and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Su Yi didn't know how long they had been waiting here. Presumably, Lin Chuan must have realized that he was taken away by Duan Ruyi's men, and he didn't dare to rush in to ask for him, so he had to take someone to guard outside the Princess Mansion for the time being, ready to play by ear.

Su Yi didn't want to go back to the General's Mansion, he broke free from Lin Chuan's hand, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.A group of people were anxious and shouted: "Reverse, reverse! Don't be joking, son, if you walk too slowly, you will be caught by the princess!"

Su Yi was already limping and couldn't run fast, and was surrounded by people in a hurry, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.Seeing that he couldn't run, Lin Chuan simply shouted: "Let's carry the young master and go!"

A group of people grabbed hands and feet, lifted Su Yi and ran away.Su Yi was carried back to the General's Mansion by them like ants moving house. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Yanbo pacing in the courtyard, anxiously waiting for him.Su Yi was very embarrassed and shouted: "Put me down."

Everyone let him go, Qin Yanbo sent people down, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Su Yi said: "I'm fine, thanks to them... Cough, follow me, otherwise it will be hard for me to escape. My son is not filial, and my mother is worried."

Qin Yanbo said: "I told you a long time ago that you should not provoke the princess if you have nothing to do. You don't take it seriously, you will be taught a lesson this time."

With lingering fear in his heart, Su Yi said: "What mother said is that Princess Ruyi is fierce and savage, she is almost invincible. My son knows how powerful she is, and he will definitely stay away from her in the future, and treat her at a respectful distance."

Qin Yanbo's gaze was a little scrutinizing.Su Yi felt a little guilty when she saw her, and said, "Mother, what do you always see me doing?"

Qin Yanbo said: "Mother has always felt recently that you are very different from before. You seem to be a different person."

Su Yi's heart was pounding, his palms were sweating, and he apologized with a smile: "Yes, everyone said that my temper is much better than before. I broke my leg this time, and thought a lot. I feel that life is too short. Try to make mother happy, make yourself happy, don't want to think about those unhappy things anymore."

Qin Yanbo lowered his face and said: "You are different from other children. You carry your father's blood feud on your back. If you don't avenge him, won't your father die in peace?"

Su Yi realized that he was full of flaws these days, and Qin Yanbo finally began to doubt himself.He restrained his smile, and obediently lowered his head to listen to Qin Yanbo's reprimand.

Qin Yanbo said: "I think your injury is almost healed, and the family can't lock you up anymore. Since you can sneak out to find the princess fooling around, you can definitely avenge your father. You set off tomorrow to arrest Xue Hong Liao and He Ruying were killed."

Su Yi's face turned pale, and he lost his voice: "Oh, that's not allowed!"

Qin Yanbo said sharply, "Why not?"

Su Yi didn't expect that Qin Yanbo wanted to kill Xue Hongliu so much, and he turned pale with fright.Qin Yanbo's expression became more suspicious, and he said, "What's going on?"

Su Yi was sweating profusely, and squatted down covering his waist in desperation, and said: "I... my back hurts badly, mother, don't worry about me, I will leave tomorrow, and I will definitely kill our enemies... Hey Yo..."

Qin Yanbo saw that his face was really ugly, as if he was really in pain.She frowned and said, "Since the injury hasn't healed yet, let's wait a little longer. This attack is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, do you understand?"

Su Yi nodded repeatedly, and said: "Yes, yes, my son knows."

Su Yi pretended to be helped back to the room, Qin Yanbo sent all the maids away, leaving only two servants outside the door to listen to orders.The huge room fell silent, completely different from before.Su Yi was a little flustered, he leaned on the window and looked out.There were a few guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, presumably Qin Yanbo was afraid that he would run away, so he asked people to watch him.

Su Yi thought: "I can't go out, and you can't come in. It's best if no one comes to disturb me. I'm here to heal my wounds and practice at the same time. It's not a waste of time."

Thinking of this, he simply sat cross-legged, recalling the formulas taught to him by Monk Shanshui, and began to practice.After a while, the muscles and tendons were relaxed, the true energy was transpiring, and a cloud of white energy gathered on the top of the head.After doing the exercises for two weeks, he felt refreshed all over his body, and the pain in his wound didn't hurt much.

He thought to himself: "I have almost practiced the inner strength taught to me by Master Shanshui. In the past, when I read Shaoyang swordsmanship, I was often puzzled. Now that I think about it, I feel suddenly enlightened. If I practice again now, I will definitely can achieve something.”

Thinking of this, he was very energetic, and when night fell, he sent two young servants out to practice swords alone in the courtyard.This has been the case for several months in a row, and the swordsmanship has greatly improved.
