Clear Turbulence Sword
Chapter 12
After Murong Yuan escaped from the officers and soldiers, he came to a simple tavern on the outskirts of the city alone, looked around to see if there were no irrelevant people, then sat down and ordered a pot of Nurhong.He poured himself a drink, but his mind was thinking about Cheng Xiaodie's actions and reactions just now. "Do you really not understand my difficulties?" Murong Yuan asked Cheng Xiaodie in his heart.Having experienced the pain of losing his father, coupled with the misunderstanding and hatred of the Jianghu people, Murong Yuan was extremely resentful. He did not want to compromise and give in. I don't hesitate.
"She is also doing it for my own good." Murong Yuan comforted himself.Cheng Xiaodie hopes that she can reconcile with the people in the Jianghu, so that she can avoid vendettas, and can walk freely in the Jianghu without being threatened by anyone.However, Murong Yuan doesn't have any expectations for this, those people who only seek their own self-interest under the guise of benevolence and morality really make him sick, and there are not a few such people.Murong Yuan felt that he was fed up with all kinds of intrigues in the world, and he was unwilling to live a hypocritical life, even if he said something against his will, he would feel uncomfortable all over his body.
Some resting people around looked at Murong Yuan curiously, seeing him talking to himself in a low voice while drinking, they expected that this young man must have a lot of troubles.However, the matter was nothing to do with oneself, and people left one after another after resting, and in the evening, only Murong Yuan was left alone.He didn't know how much wine he drank, but no matter how much wine he had, he couldn't quench his anger.The restaurant was about to close, Murong Yuan paid the silver and went out to see the boundless night.The darkness attracted him deeply, and he couldn't help walking towards it. Gradually, his whole body merged into the darkness, he couldn't see anything, and he seemed to be one with the darkness.
"It would be nice to be like this all the time." Murong Yuan thought to himself, becoming one with this darkness, without himself or others, disappearing without a trace when the day came, and reappearing when the night came.Tolerate you, tolerate me, tolerate everything, and make everything fall into silence.
But the moon came out again, illuminating the white ground in front of him, Murong Yuan saw himself clearly again, and saw the houses, trees and wormwood around him clearly.He feels that everything he sees is disgusting, and there are selfishness, prejudice, and servility everywhere. Even if there is the so-called truth about everything in this world, I am afraid no one is willing to see it clearly.People just stay in their own prejudices, take it for granted that they should live on their knees, kneel to the emperor and officials, kneel to hypocrisy, cowardice and self-deception. "The four-character tombstone.
"Wine!" The only thing Murong Yuan desires right now is wine.He staggered into the city again, walked into an inn at random, and knocked on the table to ask for wine.Xiao Er saw that he was drunk and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she advised him to open a room to rest and stop drinking.Murong Yuan refused to listen, and took out five taels of silver from his waist and slapped it on the table. Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, and Xiao Er happily collected the money to get the wine.
Just after drinking two bowls, suddenly several big men with fierce faces came over with knives. It turned out that Murong Yuan was recognized again when he entered the city.Both his attire and his sword are so conspicuous that it is difficult not to attract attention.Murong Yuan was so drunk that he was almost unconscious, he really couldn't see who the other party was or how many people there were, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and could vaguely hear shouting and cursing.
Murong Yuan felt that someone kicked him, but he didn't feel any pain.He fell off his chair and shattered the wine bowl in his hand.Immediately afterwards, he felt that someone was stepping on his chest, and someone was pouring wine on his face, and he couldn't help sighing that the good wine was ruined like this, so he stuck out his tongue to lick the wine around his mouth.
These few people are not well-known figures in the world, but they all want to kill Murong Yuan to make a name for themselves.Taking advantage of Murong Yuan's drunkenness, he took advantage of his fists and kicks, and was sure that Murong Yuan was absolutely powerless to fight back, so he impatiently drew out his weapon and wanted to behead Murong Yuan in public.Just as he was about to make a move, a man in black suddenly flew in from the door. Before they could react, their faces were all blue and purple.Several people knew that they were not opponents, so they rolled and crawled without a trace.
The man in black bent down and wiped Murong Yuan's face, and dragged him out of the inn with great effort.There was loud thunder outside, and it rained heavily unexpectedly.Murong Yuan felt his face was cold, opened his eyes with effort, and saw a familiar figure.
"It's you again, why did you save me?" Murong Yuan recognized that she was the woman in black who had helped him many times before.
The woman in black didn't answer, but still dragged Murong Yuan forward with great effort.Murong Yuan didn't want to be dragged away, he grabbed a stone platform with both hands and didn't let go.
"Tell me who you are...otherwise, I won't go with you." Murong Yuan acted like a child.
The woman in black sighed, stretched out her hand and slapped Murong Yuan on the back of the head, Murong Yuan lost consciousness when his eyes went dark.
Besides, Cheng Xiaodie, she locked herself in the house after she returned to the Lu residence.When Lu Zian heard that she was back, he hurried to her room to greet her.
"Diemei, you're finally back. Do you know how worried I am about you, and I sent so many people to look for you with your portrait."
"Do you really care about me?" Cheng Xiaodie seemed preoccupied.
Lu Zian also saw that something was wrong with her, so he calmed down and said softly, "Didn't anything happen when you went out this time?"
"No." Cheng Xiaodie said dumbly.
"That's good, don't run around in the future." Lu Zian tentatively said, "I heard that Murong Yuan came to the capital, so you must have seen him."
Cheng Xiaodie nodded, "Don't worry, I won't run around in the future."
Lu Zian was suspicious, feeling that Cheng Xiaodie had suddenly become a different person. When he talked about her before, she always refuted, especially when it was about Murong Yuan.But now it is uncharacteristically, which really makes Lu Zian puzzled.
Cheng Xiaodie slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Zian.Lu Zian was taken aback, from Cheng Xiaodie's eyes, he couldn't see the childishness of the past, but was so mature and calm.
Lu Zian felt that she might be a little tired, so he left her to rest alone in the room.After five days in a row, Cheng Xiaodie unexpectedly did not go out again, not even going out of the house.Lu Zian was very worried, but no matter what she asked, she never opened her mouth.Later, Lu Zian asked the boss who sent Cheng Xiaodie back to the mansion that day, and the boss found only Cheng Xiaodie standing in the restaurant, and found nothing else.
Two days later, Cheng Xiaodie suddenly asked how Murong Yuan was doing.Lu Zian heard from Dongchang Jinyiwei that Murong Yuan is now almost everywhere with enemies, and every step he takes, he will meet people in the world who want to avenge or seek justice for the martial arts, and almost every day he has to experience a life-and-death struggle.However, Murong Yuan didn't seem to care, not only continued to drink too much, but also kept telling the Jianghu people to come over casually, not to take anyone seriously.Even if he was a long-known hero in the Jianghu, Murong Yuan didn't give any face to him, he beat him whenever he wanted, and never bowed his head.
Cheng Xiaodie sighed, thinking that in this way, the enmity between Murong Yuan and the people of Jianghu will become deeper and deeper, and there is no other solution except to fight for life and death.But I will definitely not be like him. I still have to gain a foothold in the Jianghu and carry forward the prestige of the Cheng family, so I must get along with the people in the Jianghu.In this way, Murong Yuan vaguely stood on the opposite side of himself.
"Do you still like me?" Cheng Xiaodie asked Lu Zian.
Lu Zian hurriedly said, "I have always liked you, and it has never changed."
"Then will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Lu Zian shook Cheng Xiaodie's hand excitedly, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
"Okay, I want you to marry me in a good manner." Cheng Xiaodie's tone was still flat.
"Diemei, don't worry, I will take care of it and carry you in with eight sedan chairs."
Cheng Xiaodie nodded vigorously, she was not only responding to Lu Zian, but also silently telling herself that she must completely let go of her love for Murong Yuan and live another life from now on.
"Xiaodie Xiaodie!" Murong Yuan struggled to sit up.He saw himself sitting on an unfamiliar bed with a quilt embroidered with lotus flowers on his legs, and finally confirmed that it was just a dream.He dreamed that he was walking side by side with Cheng Xiaodie, and suddenly the time and space around him kept spinning, sucking everything in, and also separated him and Cheng Xiaodie, each of them was swept away by a vortex.No matter how hard he struggles, he and Cheng Xiaodie get farther and farther away, and eventually they can no longer see each other, and each of them is swallowed by the vortex.
Murong Yuan wanted to get out of bed, but his head felt dizzy and hurt.A woman walked in slowly, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in her hand.
"You're awake," the woman said.
"Who are you and where am I?" Murong Yuan asked.
"Drink the medicinal soup first. You drank too much wine, got caught in the rain, and burned for three days and three nights." The woman's voice was extremely soft, but it had an indisputable persuasive power.
Murong Yuan endured the pungent taste and drank the thick and bitter brown medicinal soup, the woman helped Murong Yuan wipe the remaining medicinal residue from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then she wanted to take the bowl outside the house.
Murong Yuan grabbed her arm, that arm was slender and round, and Murong Yuan suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
"What?" the woman asked.
Murong Yuan hurriedly let go of her arm, "Thank you for your help, miss, may I ask where this is and how did I get here?"
The woman said slowly, "You were chased and killed after being drunk. It was a masked man in black who brought you here. This is the place of the beggar gang."
"Beggars, may the leader of Ling be here?"
"He's not here, you can relax and recuperate first, and I will take you to see him after you recover," the woman replied.
"Then who is Miss?" Murong Yuan asked.
"I'm Ling Ling, the daughter of Chief Ling." After speaking, she walked out.
Murong Yuan thought to himself, "So it's her, it's very different from when I was a child."
Murong Yuan had seen her a few times when she was a child, once she visited Murong Villa with her father, she ran to the back mountain mischievously to climb a tree to pick fruit, and was entangled by a big snake.She was strangled until she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't break free. Fortunately, Murong Yuan passed by after practicing the sword.Seeing this situation, he pulled out his sword and threw it over, piercing the snake's head off with one sword, saving her life.But Murong Yuan never told anyone about this matter. When his father was leaving, she still pestered him to stay for a few more days, but she insisted on being taken away by her father.
Murong Yuan still remembered that she was wearing patched clothes like her father, with mud still on her face, she was a little beggar.When I saw her just now, she had already grown into a beautiful green girl, and she was no longer wearing patched clothes, but a plain long skirt.Since he was an old friend, Murong Yuan also felt relieved, only then did he realize that his whole body was aching and weak, and his brain was still buzzing.
After resting for a few more days, Murong Yuan felt that he had almost recovered, so he went out of the room and went for a walk.As soon as I opened the door, there was a thick fog in front of my eyes. If I looked carefully, there was a cliff in front of the yard.The whole house is built against the mountain, and there are tall trees on the mountain. This is definitely an excellent hiding place.
"It looks like you're getting better."
Murong Yuan turned around and saw Ling Ling standing at the door with a basket of food in his hand.In the past few days, Ling Ling gave him medicine and food, but then disappeared, and at this moment, he didn't know where she came from. Murong Yuan guessed that there must be a secret passage somewhere in front of and behind this house.
"Thank you Miss Ling for taking care of me these past few days, I'm mostly healed."
"I brought you some food, come here quickly." Ling Ling had a smile on his face, and those almond eyes that seemed to be talking were particularly eye-catching.
Murong Yuan followed Ling Ling into the house, Ling Ling opened the box, and took out dishes such as beggar chicken, wild bamboo shoots, fried river prawns, etc. Murong Yuan's eyes lit up, and he saw that there was still a jug of wine inside, just by smelling it Murong Yuan could also guess that it was the best Zhuyeqing.
Murong Yuan was about to get the wine, but was snatched away by Ling Ling, "Eat first, then drink."
"Okay." Murong Yuan picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, then put another piece of chicken into his mouth, and began to eat with gusto.Ling Ling rested her chin on one side and watched Murong Yuan eat, as if she was looking at someone dear to her.Murong Yuan was only focused on eating and didn't notice Ling Ling's expression.He ate a few more mouthfuls of steamed buns and felt a little choked, so he wanted to ask Ling Ling for a drink.Raising his head abruptly, his gaze met Ling Ling's. Ling Ling hurriedly turned his gaze away, and cleared his throat on purpose.Murong Yuan was also embarrassed for a while, and hesitated, "Can you give me a sip of wine?"
Seeing that the food in Murong Yuan's mouth was hard to swallow, Ling Ling quickly poured him a glass of wine, and Murong Yuan drank it down in one gulp, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
After finishing the meal, he simply tidied up, and Ling Ling wanted to leave again.
Murong Yuan stopped her and said, "Let me go with you, I want to meet your father."
"You should rest for a few more days." Ling Ling declined.
"I've had enough rest, and I've fully recovered. If you don't believe me, take a look." After saying that, Murong Yuan started a set of punches, and it was really vigorous.Suddenly, Murong Yuan slipped and was about to fall, Ling Ling hurried to help.Murong Yuan suddenly slapped Ling Ling's left shoulder with a slap, this slap was not fast, Ling Ling dodged sideways, Murong Yuan swept his leg again, Ling Ling jumped up and backed away a few feet.
"Why did you attack me?" Ling Ling said angrily.
"It really is you." Murong Yuan smiled.
Ling Ling's eyes dodged, obviously because he had seen the secret, "What am I?"
"The masked man in black who helped me many times is you. Although I couldn't see your face at the time, I remember your martial arts and figure very clearly. That's right, it's you." Murong Yuan affirmed.
"So what if it's me?" Ling Ling knew that she couldn't let it go, but she didn't want to admit that she cared about Murong Yuan.
"I'm grateful to you." Murong Yuan said seriously, "Everyone in the world wants to kill me and hurry up. I didn't expect that there would be an old friend from childhood willing to sacrifice his life to help me. I, Murong Yuan, are extremely lucky."
"You saved me before, so it's a settlement. You and I won't owe each other in the future." After finishing speaking, Ling Ling turned his head and waited for Murong Yuan to reply.
"I only saved you once, but you not only saved me, but also helped me two or three times. Even if you don't want me to reciprocate, I am willing to go through fire and water for Miss Ling."
After listening to Murong Yuan's words, Ling Ling was very helpful, turned around and said, "You didn't call me Miss Ling before."
"Sister Linger." Murong Yuan said softly.
Ling Ling nodded happily.
"How did you know that I was in trouble, and you helped me in time many times?"
Ling Lingdao, "I'm the daughter of the head of the beggar gang. It's easy for me to find out the news. I heard that Lu Hantian was in trouble, and I also learned that you were going to participate in the martial arts conference, so I tipped you off on the way. Later you come to find My father asked about the whereabouts of the bloodthieves. I was actually there, dressed as a scholar, but you didn't notice me. I heard that you were going to Mobei, so I secretly went to help you without telling my father, and wanted to repay you The grace that saved my life back then."
In fact, since she was rescued by Murong Yuan when she was a child, Ling Ling made up her mind to marry this handsome young man when she grows up.Later, as I got older, when I learned that Murong Yuan and Cheng Xiaodie were childhood sweethearts, I felt a sense of loss in my heart for a while, and this idea gradually faded away.However, she always heard about Murong Yuan's deeds in the world, so she couldn't completely dispel her love.Ling Wanhai had already seen through her daughter's thoughts, and said to her, "We beggars have nothing, so we are worried about losing something? If you like it, you can boldly pursue it." But Ling Ling is always her daughter's family, and she was embarrassed to be too proactive, so she secretly helped Murong Yuan.
"So that's it. Sister Ling'er has a heart. We were good friends when we were young, but we rarely have the opportunity to interact when we grow up."
"That's not because of you..." Ling Ling wanted to say that it was because he and Cheng Xiaodie got too close, but he held back.
Murong Yuan was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me..."
"Hey, I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving." Ling Ling turned and left.
"Wait for me." Murong Yuan chased after him.
Ling Ling knew that he couldn't get rid of Murong Yuan, so he said, "It's fine if you want to go with me, but I have two things to tell you, you must not be anxious after listening."
Seeing Ling Ling speak seriously, Murong Yuan knew that the matter must be serious, so he nodded.
Ling Ling said, "The first thing is that Lu Zian welcomes Cheng Xiaodie today."
Murong Yuan couldn't believe his ears, he stared at Ling Ling blankly, his heart sank continuously, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.
"Yes, everyone in the Jianghu knows it, but Lu Zian is now a member of Qiu Dachu. Except for the Eagle Dog from Dongchang, I believe there will not be many people from the Jianghu who will go to watch the ceremony."
Murong Yuan forced a smile and said, "Zi'an has always treated her very well, she finally has a good destiny after marrying Zi'an."
Ling Ling knew that he felt uncomfortable, so he stopped talking about Cheng Xiaodie, "The second thing is about my father."
Murong Yuan hurriedly said, "What's wrong with your father?"
Ling Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and he swallowed, "My father and several gang elders were besieged by Qiu Dachu's people in the sub-helm of Huya Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing for several days, and we need to go to the rescue as soon as possible."
Murong Yuan said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing, I'll go rescue him right now."
Ling Ling hurriedly pulled Murong Yuan back, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Huya Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qiu Dachu's men were defeated several times, and now they can only surround the mountain. My father and the others are on the mountain There is still food to eat, and the water in the mountain stream is enough to drink. There will be no danger for a while. I have been contacting the brothers in the gang these days to discuss ways to save my father. I know your martial arts are in the martial arts world. Zhong is one of the best, so I want to ask you to help me, but you are drunk and have a fever for several days, I want to wait until you recover, because there will definitely be a fierce battle."
Murong Yuan blamed himself, "It's all my fault, I just care about my own self-indulgence, drinking away my sorrows. Don't worry, I'm fully recovered now, and I can go to the mountain at any time."
Ling Ling nodded, "But you can't go there alone, the chances of winning are too small, we should wait until we have a proper plan before going to save people."
Murong Yuan knew that what Ling Ling said was reasonable, it would be no problem to kill him, but it was very difficult to bring him out.
"Okay then, when you have a plan, you have to come and tell me."
"Well, just these two days." After Ling Ling finished speaking, he walked into the living room and lifted a landscape painting from the wall, only to find a hole.
Ling Ling said, "From here you can lead to a bamboo forest. Brother Yuan, if you are bored, you can go out for a walk."
"Okay, you have to be careful when you go out." Murong Yuan instructed.
Ling Ling responded and went out from the hole.
Ever since Murong Yuan heard that Cheng Xiaodie got married today, he couldn't let it go.Cheng Xiaodie will become Lu Zian's wife, and Murong Yuan didn't want Ling Ling to see his affection for Cheng Xiaodie, so he just kept his face from showing anything.
"Xiao Die got married, I always go to congratulate her. Although Zi'an and I still have misunderstandings, and Dongchang is also in conflict, it is not a problem to observe the ceremony in secret." Murong Yuan made a plan, and entered the secret passage.The tunnel was pitch black, and one could only move along the sides with his hands.After walking hundreds of meters, seeing light ahead, I pushed open a bamboo cover and came to a dense bamboo forest.
Murong Yuan walked through the bamboo forest following the footprints on the ground, and soon arrived outside the city gate.Murong Yuan went into a clothing store, bought a few Taoist robes, disguised himself as a Taoist priest, went to the market and bought a gauze hat to cover his face, and then went to Lu's residence.
As soon as he arrived at the Lu residence, Murong Yuan saw that Lu Zian and Cheng Xiaodie had finished worshiping the heaven and the earth, and the ceremony was completed.Cheng Xiaodie was wearing a red robe with a hijab covering her head.Murong Yuan squeezed to the front from the crowd, wanting to see more clearly.There was a burst of congratulations from the people below, and Lu Zian bowed his hands to thank the people below one by one, with a radiant look on his face.
With the help of her maid, Cheng Xiaodie left the auditorium and was about to enter the bridal chamber.Murong Yuan looked at her back and silently wished her a happy life in the future.From now on, Cheng Xiaodie is Lu Zian's wife, and everything with Murong Yuan is a thing of the past.
"From now on, you and I are just brothers and sisters. The relationship is broken, and there is no other way." Murong Yuan thought of this, and Cheng Xiaodie had disappeared from his sight. He turned and left, with only one thought in his mind, that is to rescue Ling Wanhai.
It was Xu time after Lu Zian entertained the guests, he staggered into the bridal chamber, and saw Cheng Xiaodie sitting on the edge of the bed with her head covered.Lu Zian walked over swaying from side to side, and gently removed Cheng Xiaodie's hijab.Cheng Xiaodie's dress was extremely gorgeous, her pink face and peach cheeks, and the rouge on her mouth was even more fascinating, Lu Zian couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.
Cheng Xiaodie made room for Lu Zian to sit next to him, and said to him, "Zian, you must kill Qiu Dachu to avenge my father. Also, you must stand out and be better than your father." A big official can do something."
Lu Zian nodded vigorously, and then blew out the candle beside the bed.
"She is also doing it for my own good." Murong Yuan comforted himself.Cheng Xiaodie hopes that she can reconcile with the people in the Jianghu, so that she can avoid vendettas, and can walk freely in the Jianghu without being threatened by anyone.However, Murong Yuan doesn't have any expectations for this, those people who only seek their own self-interest under the guise of benevolence and morality really make him sick, and there are not a few such people.Murong Yuan felt that he was fed up with all kinds of intrigues in the world, and he was unwilling to live a hypocritical life, even if he said something against his will, he would feel uncomfortable all over his body.
Some resting people around looked at Murong Yuan curiously, seeing him talking to himself in a low voice while drinking, they expected that this young man must have a lot of troubles.However, the matter was nothing to do with oneself, and people left one after another after resting, and in the evening, only Murong Yuan was left alone.He didn't know how much wine he drank, but no matter how much wine he had, he couldn't quench his anger.The restaurant was about to close, Murong Yuan paid the silver and went out to see the boundless night.The darkness attracted him deeply, and he couldn't help walking towards it. Gradually, his whole body merged into the darkness, he couldn't see anything, and he seemed to be one with the darkness.
"It would be nice to be like this all the time." Murong Yuan thought to himself, becoming one with this darkness, without himself or others, disappearing without a trace when the day came, and reappearing when the night came.Tolerate you, tolerate me, tolerate everything, and make everything fall into silence.
But the moon came out again, illuminating the white ground in front of him, Murong Yuan saw himself clearly again, and saw the houses, trees and wormwood around him clearly.He feels that everything he sees is disgusting, and there are selfishness, prejudice, and servility everywhere. Even if there is the so-called truth about everything in this world, I am afraid no one is willing to see it clearly.People just stay in their own prejudices, take it for granted that they should live on their knees, kneel to the emperor and officials, kneel to hypocrisy, cowardice and self-deception. "The four-character tombstone.
"Wine!" The only thing Murong Yuan desires right now is wine.He staggered into the city again, walked into an inn at random, and knocked on the table to ask for wine.Xiao Er saw that he was drunk and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she advised him to open a room to rest and stop drinking.Murong Yuan refused to listen, and took out five taels of silver from his waist and slapped it on the table. Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, and Xiao Er happily collected the money to get the wine.
Just after drinking two bowls, suddenly several big men with fierce faces came over with knives. It turned out that Murong Yuan was recognized again when he entered the city.Both his attire and his sword are so conspicuous that it is difficult not to attract attention.Murong Yuan was so drunk that he was almost unconscious, he really couldn't see who the other party was or how many people there were, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and could vaguely hear shouting and cursing.
Murong Yuan felt that someone kicked him, but he didn't feel any pain.He fell off his chair and shattered the wine bowl in his hand.Immediately afterwards, he felt that someone was stepping on his chest, and someone was pouring wine on his face, and he couldn't help sighing that the good wine was ruined like this, so he stuck out his tongue to lick the wine around his mouth.

The man in black bent down and wiped Murong Yuan's face, and dragged him out of the inn with great effort.There was loud thunder outside, and it rained heavily unexpectedly.Murong Yuan felt his face was cold, opened his eyes with effort, and saw a familiar figure.
"It's you again, why did you save me?" Murong Yuan recognized that she was the woman in black who had helped him many times before.
The woman in black didn't answer, but still dragged Murong Yuan forward with great effort.Murong Yuan didn't want to be dragged away, he grabbed a stone platform with both hands and didn't let go.
"Tell me who you are...otherwise, I won't go with you." Murong Yuan acted like a child.
The woman in black sighed, stretched out her hand and slapped Murong Yuan on the back of the head, Murong Yuan lost consciousness when his eyes went dark.
Besides, Cheng Xiaodie, she locked herself in the house after she returned to the Lu residence.When Lu Zian heard that she was back, he hurried to her room to greet her.

Cheng Xiaodie nodded, "Don't worry, I won't run around in the future."
Lu Zian was suspicious, feeling that Cheng Xiaodie had suddenly become a different person. When he talked about her before, she always refuted, especially when it was about Murong Yuan.But now it is uncharacteristically, which really makes Lu Zian puzzled.
Cheng Xiaodie slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Zian.Lu Zian was taken aback, from Cheng Xiaodie's eyes, he couldn't see the childishness of the past, but was so mature and calm.
Lu Zian felt that she might be a little tired, so he left her to rest alone in the room.After five days in a row, Cheng Xiaodie unexpectedly did not go out again, not even going out of the house.Lu Zian was very worried, but no matter what she asked, she never opened her mouth.Later, Lu Zian asked the boss who sent Cheng Xiaodie back to the mansion that day, and the boss found only Cheng Xiaodie standing in the restaurant, and found nothing else.
Two days later, Cheng Xiaodie suddenly asked how Murong Yuan was doing.Lu Zian heard from Dongchang Jinyiwei that Murong Yuan is now almost everywhere with enemies, and every step he takes, he will meet people in the world who want to avenge or seek justice for the martial arts, and almost every day he has to experience a life-and-death struggle.However, Murong Yuan didn't seem to care, not only continued to drink too much, but also kept telling the Jianghu people to come over casually, not to take anyone seriously.Even if he was a long-known hero in the Jianghu, Murong Yuan didn't give any face to him, he beat him whenever he wanted, and never bowed his head.
Cheng Xiaodie sighed, thinking that in this way, the enmity between Murong Yuan and the people of Jianghu will become deeper and deeper, and there is no other solution except to fight for life and death.But I will definitely not be like him. I still have to gain a foothold in the Jianghu and carry forward the prestige of the Cheng family, so I must get along with the people in the Jianghu.In this way, Murong Yuan vaguely stood on the opposite side of himself.
"Do you still like me?" Cheng Xiaodie asked Lu Zian.
Lu Zian hurriedly said, "I have always liked you, and it has never changed."
"Then will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Lu Zian shook Cheng Xiaodie's hand excitedly, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
"Okay, I want you to marry me in a good manner." Cheng Xiaodie's tone was still flat.
"Diemei, don't worry, I will take care of it and carry you in with eight sedan chairs."
Cheng Xiaodie nodded vigorously, she was not only responding to Lu Zian, but also silently telling herself that she must completely let go of her love for Murong Yuan and live another life from now on.
"Xiaodie Xiaodie!" Murong Yuan struggled to sit up.He saw himself sitting on an unfamiliar bed with a quilt embroidered with lotus flowers on his legs, and finally confirmed that it was just a dream.He dreamed that he was walking side by side with Cheng Xiaodie, and suddenly the time and space around him kept spinning, sucking everything in, and also separated him and Cheng Xiaodie, each of them was swept away by a vortex.No matter how hard he struggles, he and Cheng Xiaodie get farther and farther away, and eventually they can no longer see each other, and each of them is swallowed by the vortex.
Murong Yuan wanted to get out of bed, but his head felt dizzy and hurt.A woman walked in slowly, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in her hand.
"You're awake," the woman said.
"Who are you and where am I?" Murong Yuan asked.
"Drink the medicinal soup first. You drank too much wine, got caught in the rain, and burned for three days and three nights." The woman's voice was extremely soft, but it had an indisputable persuasive power.
Murong Yuan endured the pungent taste and drank the thick and bitter brown medicinal soup, the woman helped Murong Yuan wipe the remaining medicinal residue from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then she wanted to take the bowl outside the house.
Murong Yuan grabbed her arm, that arm was slender and round, and Murong Yuan suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
"What?" the woman asked.
Murong Yuan hurriedly let go of her arm, "Thank you for your help, miss, may I ask where this is and how did I get here?"
The woman said slowly, "You were chased and killed after being drunk. It was a masked man in black who brought you here. This is the place of the beggar gang."
"Beggars, may the leader of Ling be here?"
"He's not here, you can relax and recuperate first, and I will take you to see him after you recover," the woman replied.
"Then who is Miss?" Murong Yuan asked.
"I'm Ling Ling, the daughter of Chief Ling." After speaking, she walked out.
Murong Yuan thought to himself, "So it's her, it's very different from when I was a child."
Murong Yuan had seen her a few times when she was a child, once she visited Murong Villa with her father, she ran to the back mountain mischievously to climb a tree to pick fruit, and was entangled by a big snake.She was strangled until she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't break free. Fortunately, Murong Yuan passed by after practicing the sword.Seeing this situation, he pulled out his sword and threw it over, piercing the snake's head off with one sword, saving her life.But Murong Yuan never told anyone about this matter. When his father was leaving, she still pestered him to stay for a few more days, but she insisted on being taken away by her father.
Murong Yuan still remembered that she was wearing patched clothes like her father, with mud still on her face, she was a little beggar.When I saw her just now, she had already grown into a beautiful green girl, and she was no longer wearing patched clothes, but a plain long skirt.Since he was an old friend, Murong Yuan also felt relieved, only then did he realize that his whole body was aching and weak, and his brain was still buzzing.
After resting for a few more days, Murong Yuan felt that he had almost recovered, so he went out of the room and went for a walk.As soon as I opened the door, there was a thick fog in front of my eyes. If I looked carefully, there was a cliff in front of the yard.The whole house is built against the mountain, and there are tall trees on the mountain. This is definitely an excellent hiding place.
"It looks like you're getting better."
Murong Yuan turned around and saw Ling Ling standing at the door with a basket of food in his hand.In the past few days, Ling Ling gave him medicine and food, but then disappeared, and at this moment, he didn't know where she came from. Murong Yuan guessed that there must be a secret passage somewhere in front of and behind this house.
"Thank you Miss Ling for taking care of me these past few days, I'm mostly healed."
"I brought you some food, come here quickly." Ling Ling had a smile on his face, and those almond eyes that seemed to be talking were particularly eye-catching.
Murong Yuan followed Ling Ling into the house, Ling Ling opened the box, and took out dishes such as beggar chicken, wild bamboo shoots, fried river prawns, etc. Murong Yuan's eyes lit up, and he saw that there was still a jug of wine inside, just by smelling it Murong Yuan could also guess that it was the best Zhuyeqing.
Murong Yuan was about to get the wine, but was snatched away by Ling Ling, "Eat first, then drink."
"Okay." Murong Yuan picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, then put another piece of chicken into his mouth, and began to eat with gusto.Ling Ling rested her chin on one side and watched Murong Yuan eat, as if she was looking at someone dear to her.Murong Yuan was only focused on eating and didn't notice Ling Ling's expression.He ate a few more mouthfuls of steamed buns and felt a little choked, so he wanted to ask Ling Ling for a drink.Raising his head abruptly, his gaze met Ling Ling's. Ling Ling hurriedly turned his gaze away, and cleared his throat on purpose.Murong Yuan was also embarrassed for a while, and hesitated, "Can you give me a sip of wine?"
Seeing that the food in Murong Yuan's mouth was hard to swallow, Ling Ling quickly poured him a glass of wine, and Murong Yuan drank it down in one gulp, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
After finishing the meal, he simply tidied up, and Ling Ling wanted to leave again.
Murong Yuan stopped her and said, "Let me go with you, I want to meet your father."
"You should rest for a few more days." Ling Ling declined.
"I've had enough rest, and I've fully recovered. If you don't believe me, take a look." After saying that, Murong Yuan started a set of punches, and it was really vigorous.Suddenly, Murong Yuan slipped and was about to fall, Ling Ling hurried to help.Murong Yuan suddenly slapped Ling Ling's left shoulder with a slap, this slap was not fast, Ling Ling dodged sideways, Murong Yuan swept his leg again, Ling Ling jumped up and backed away a few feet.
"Why did you attack me?" Ling Ling said angrily.
"It really is you." Murong Yuan smiled.
Ling Ling's eyes dodged, obviously because he had seen the secret, "What am I?"
"The masked man in black who helped me many times is you. Although I couldn't see your face at the time, I remember your martial arts and figure very clearly. That's right, it's you." Murong Yuan affirmed.
"So what if it's me?" Ling Ling knew that she couldn't let it go, but she didn't want to admit that she cared about Murong Yuan.
"I'm grateful to you." Murong Yuan said seriously, "Everyone in the world wants to kill me and hurry up. I didn't expect that there would be an old friend from childhood willing to sacrifice his life to help me. I, Murong Yuan, are extremely lucky."
"You saved me before, so it's a settlement. You and I won't owe each other in the future." After finishing speaking, Ling Ling turned his head and waited for Murong Yuan to reply.
"I only saved you once, but you not only saved me, but also helped me two or three times. Even if you don't want me to reciprocate, I am willing to go through fire and water for Miss Ling."
After listening to Murong Yuan's words, Ling Ling was very helpful, turned around and said, "You didn't call me Miss Ling before."
"Sister Linger." Murong Yuan said softly.
Ling Ling nodded happily.
"How did you know that I was in trouble, and you helped me in time many times?"
Ling Lingdao, "I'm the daughter of the head of the beggar gang. It's easy for me to find out the news. I heard that Lu Hantian was in trouble, and I also learned that you were going to participate in the martial arts conference, so I tipped you off on the way. Later you come to find My father asked about the whereabouts of the bloodthieves. I was actually there, dressed as a scholar, but you didn't notice me. I heard that you were going to Mobei, so I secretly went to help you without telling my father, and wanted to repay you The grace that saved my life back then."
In fact, since she was rescued by Murong Yuan when she was a child, Ling Ling made up her mind to marry this handsome young man when she grows up.Later, as I got older, when I learned that Murong Yuan and Cheng Xiaodie were childhood sweethearts, I felt a sense of loss in my heart for a while, and this idea gradually faded away.However, she always heard about Murong Yuan's deeds in the world, so she couldn't completely dispel her love.Ling Wanhai had already seen through her daughter's thoughts, and said to her, "We beggars have nothing, so we are worried about losing something? If you like it, you can boldly pursue it." But Ling Ling is always her daughter's family, and she was embarrassed to be too proactive, so she secretly helped Murong Yuan.
"So that's it. Sister Ling'er has a heart. We were good friends when we were young, but we rarely have the opportunity to interact when we grow up."
"That's not because of you..." Ling Ling wanted to say that it was because he and Cheng Xiaodie got too close, but he held back.
Murong Yuan was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me..."
"Hey, I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving." Ling Ling turned and left.
"Wait for me." Murong Yuan chased after him.
Ling Ling knew that he couldn't get rid of Murong Yuan, so he said, "It's fine if you want to go with me, but I have two things to tell you, you must not be anxious after listening."
Seeing Ling Ling speak seriously, Murong Yuan knew that the matter must be serious, so he nodded.
Ling Ling said, "The first thing is that Lu Zian welcomes Cheng Xiaodie today."
Murong Yuan couldn't believe his ears, he stared at Ling Ling blankly, his heart sank continuously, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.
"Yes, everyone in the Jianghu knows it, but Lu Zian is now a member of Qiu Dachu. Except for the Eagle Dog from Dongchang, I believe there will not be many people from the Jianghu who will go to watch the ceremony."
Murong Yuan forced a smile and said, "Zi'an has always treated her very well, she finally has a good destiny after marrying Zi'an."
Ling Ling knew that he felt uncomfortable, so he stopped talking about Cheng Xiaodie, "The second thing is about my father."
Murong Yuan hurriedly said, "What's wrong with your father?"
Ling Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and he swallowed, "My father and several gang elders were besieged by Qiu Dachu's people in the sub-helm of Huya Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing for several days, and we need to go to the rescue as soon as possible."
Murong Yuan said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing, I'll go rescue him right now."
Ling Ling hurriedly pulled Murong Yuan back, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Huya Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qiu Dachu's men were defeated several times, and now they can only surround the mountain. My father and the others are on the mountain There is still food to eat, and the water in the mountain stream is enough to drink. There will be no danger for a while. I have been contacting the brothers in the gang these days to discuss ways to save my father. I know your martial arts are in the martial arts world. Zhong is one of the best, so I want to ask you to help me, but you are drunk and have a fever for several days, I want to wait until you recover, because there will definitely be a fierce battle."
Murong Yuan blamed himself, "It's all my fault, I just care about my own self-indulgence, drinking away my sorrows. Don't worry, I'm fully recovered now, and I can go to the mountain at any time."
Ling Ling nodded, "But you can't go there alone, the chances of winning are too small, we should wait until we have a proper plan before going to save people."
Murong Yuan knew that what Ling Ling said was reasonable, it would be no problem to kill him, but it was very difficult to bring him out.
"Okay then, when you have a plan, you have to come and tell me."
"Well, just these two days." After Ling Ling finished speaking, he walked into the living room and lifted a landscape painting from the wall, only to find a hole.
Ling Ling said, "From here you can lead to a bamboo forest. Brother Yuan, if you are bored, you can go out for a walk."
"Okay, you have to be careful when you go out." Murong Yuan instructed.
Ling Ling responded and went out from the hole.
Ever since Murong Yuan heard that Cheng Xiaodie got married today, he couldn't let it go.Cheng Xiaodie will become Lu Zian's wife, and Murong Yuan didn't want Ling Ling to see his affection for Cheng Xiaodie, so he just kept his face from showing anything.
"Xiao Die got married, I always go to congratulate her. Although Zi'an and I still have misunderstandings, and Dongchang is also in conflict, it is not a problem to observe the ceremony in secret." Murong Yuan made a plan, and entered the secret passage.The tunnel was pitch black, and one could only move along the sides with his hands.After walking hundreds of meters, seeing light ahead, I pushed open a bamboo cover and came to a dense bamboo forest.
Murong Yuan walked through the bamboo forest following the footprints on the ground, and soon arrived outside the city gate.Murong Yuan went into a clothing store, bought a few Taoist robes, disguised himself as a Taoist priest, went to the market and bought a gauze hat to cover his face, and then went to Lu's residence.
As soon as he arrived at the Lu residence, Murong Yuan saw that Lu Zian and Cheng Xiaodie had finished worshiping the heaven and the earth, and the ceremony was completed.Cheng Xiaodie was wearing a red robe with a hijab covering her head.Murong Yuan squeezed to the front from the crowd, wanting to see more clearly.There was a burst of congratulations from the people below, and Lu Zian bowed his hands to thank the people below one by one, with a radiant look on his face.
With the help of her maid, Cheng Xiaodie left the auditorium and was about to enter the bridal chamber.Murong Yuan looked at her back and silently wished her a happy life in the future.From now on, Cheng Xiaodie is Lu Zian's wife, and everything with Murong Yuan is a thing of the past.
"From now on, you and I are just brothers and sisters. The relationship is broken, and there is no other way." Murong Yuan thought of this, and Cheng Xiaodie had disappeared from his sight. He turned and left, with only one thought in his mind, that is to rescue Ling Wanhai.
It was Xu time after Lu Zian entertained the guests, he staggered into the bridal chamber, and saw Cheng Xiaodie sitting on the edge of the bed with her head covered.Lu Zian walked over swaying from side to side, and gently removed Cheng Xiaodie's hijab.Cheng Xiaodie's dress was extremely gorgeous, her pink face and peach cheeks, and the rouge on her mouth was even more fascinating, Lu Zian couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.
Cheng Xiaodie made room for Lu Zian to sit next to him, and said to him, "Zian, you must kill Qiu Dachu to avenge my father. Also, you must stand out and be better than your father." A big official can do something."
Lu Zian nodded vigorously, and then blew out the candle beside the bed.
