dragon pen
Chapter 49
The two sides of the yin and yang do not communicate with each other, life and death are destiny and cannot be forced, no matter what it is for, be sober, don't go——
Do not go to the city of no sorrow!
Zhang Ziyao sat at the table in a daze and remained silent for a long time, Yan Zhen's words were still echoing in his ears...
Why not go to the city of no sorrow?
What's in the city of no sorrow?Why did the 36 loyal knights draw their swords against Princess Turing in the end?What happened to this unknown?
Zhang Ziyao was caught in a dilemma. Even though Yuanshi had finished washing and sat down beside him for a long time, he didn't talk to her right away... Until Yuanshi finished his breakfast and the carriage team was about to set off, Zhang Ziyao turned around and thanked the old man and said goodbye At that time, he could clearly see the serious and helpless eyes of the old man looking at him, as if guessing that no matter how he warned, the young man in front of him was destined not to listen to him.
Zhang Ziyao walked out of the inn in a daze, and was about to climb into the carriage when he was suddenly stopped by Lou Hen.He turned his head strangely, but saw that all the guards around him, including Lou Hen, were smiling ambiguously. Looking at him at this time was like watching a little fox stealing fish, and Lou Hen said slowly to him: "Ziyao, I almost forgot to tell you. A servant girl came to the door suddenly in front of the inn this morning, claiming to be the servant girl you used to use when you were in Zhang's house. Because you have been away from home for too long, your family members are worried that you will be killed outside. The stranger didn't take good care of you, so she sent her to look for you—she went to the capital before, and knew you had left, so she chased after you with great pains. Hurt by..."
Zhang Ziyao: "Huh?"
Zhang Ziyao didn't react immediately.
maid?
Who?
Chunfeng?
Zhang Ziyao was stunned, and the image of Chunfeng, a coward who loved to cry, was riding a horse fast on her short legs!horse!add!whip!All the way from the Zhang family to the capital and then from the capital to this scene of the Taihang Mountains - thinking about it, I feel that this scene is very ridiculous... The corners of his lips twitched. Zhang Ziyao was about to say that he didn't have any maids. The family members don't care whether he is being served well, they only care about when he will die, but before he can say anything, he sees a graceful figure walking out from behind the building trace——
Then he knew why Lou Hen and the guards were laughing like this.
The visitor is tall and tall, with a plain double-headed snake-shaped hairpin on her hair, and a plain flower-length skirt. She has fair skin, a small and tall nose, a pair of phoenix eyes that are eager to speak, and a beautiful woman under the corner of her right eye. The mole on Bai Shengxue's face looked particularly eye-catching... At this time, she smiled like a sweet smile, as if she was really happy to see Zhang Ziyao, and said in a delicate voice: "Master, Fuyao has been chasing you so hard!"
Zhang Ziyao: "?"
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Wait, wait? !
Under Zhang Ziyao's shocked eyes, the maid who called herself "Fuyao" approached slowly, and a pair of trembling white rabbits on the woman's chest were almost ready to emerge—but this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that she didn't hide it at all on her right arm A white bandage was wrapped around the ground, and blood was faintly leaking from under the bandage, as if... she had been wounded by a sword.
And it's very recent.
Zhang Ziyao felt dizzy.
So he supported the carriage beside him behind him, and was frantically trying to suppress his shock by breaking the window lattice of the carriage. At this time, he heard Yuan Shi behind him say strangely: "Strange, when did our family have such a beautiful maid? Why? Mother has never seen..."
Zhang Ziyao immediately turned to look at his mother hopefully.
However, I didn't expect the woman to answer eloquently: "My lady doesn't know something. After my wife passed away, the young master took care of your funeral affairs. I happened to meet a servant girl in Yizhuang who sold her body to bury her father. In a moment of resignation, she sent my servant girl some money to buy a set for my father." What a coffin... the servant girl was very grateful, and immediately swore that she was willing to work for the young master and be a servant girl forever." Fuyao's smiling and delicate voice seemed to be coquettish when talking to anyone, but he did not hide his ability to lie without changing his face.
Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath: "What the hell?! I didn't—"
"Oh, so there is such a beautiful and moving story, but this king doesn't know about it! Ziyao, it's true that good people get rewarded with good things. This king is really envious, envious!"
Lou Hen laughed loudly, and a group of guards around him also roared with laughter.
"No no no no?! I really didn't—"
Zhang Ziyao blushed—not shyly—purely anxious, he wanted to growl loudly, "This mother is not a handmaid who prostituted herself to bury her father, but an assassin snake demon who came to my room last night to try to kill my dog." However, when the words came to his lips, Fuyao seemed to know in advance that the woman turned her head and glanced at Zhang Ziyao without changing her smile. A trace of sound!
Zhang Ziyao was going crazy.
However, at this time, no one was ready to give him a chance to explain. He was almost pushed into a separate carriage by those "kind guards" and the snake monster. The curtain of the carriage was drawn down. Zhang Ziyao understood what was going on, and the carriage creaked away from the inn...
Zhang Ziyao felt that he had been kidnapped.
"Kidnapping" in various senses.
I saw that the woman who called herself "Fuyao" got into the carriage, the smile on her face collapsed, she lifted her skirt with pride, and first firmly occupied a corner of the carriage; He broke free at the waist and hung it on the wall of the car behind him. In the scroll, Zhu Jiuyin sat on the top of a tree with her sleeves folded, and said "Oh"; then a not-too-dazzling white light flashed, wearing a blindfold The golden-eyed, one-eyed boy also appeared in the already crowded carriage. His hands and neck—except for that pretty face, were covered in white snow everywhere that was exposed to the air and might be accidentally touched. At this moment, he glanced at the other woman in the carriage, hesitated, and sat down in another corner of the carriage; Zhang Ziyao shrank in the middle, with a panicked and bewildered expression, and continued to tremble.
——Zhang Ziyao swears that at least at the moment when he stepped out of the gate of the Zhang family and climbed into the carriage to the capital, he was still a lone ranger.
And now.
Look at the beautiful child on the left sitting upright, with his hands on his knees and staring blankly at what he is thinking; look at the beautiful maid sitting cross-legged on the right, with her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised and her face provocatively squinting at him; Look behind him, the handsome man with his legs crossed lazily, sitting crookedly on a pine branch with his head slightly lowered, watching the crowded situation in the car with interest——
Zhang Ziyao couldn't understand at all, when...when did there be so many people around him, and at this moment, they were crowded with him in a carriage that could only accommodate two people at most, Everyone takes it for granted, and no one feels that they are superfluous.
The crowd was silent.
In the end, it was Zhang Ziyao who couldn't bear to break the silence: "So, what's going on?"
Zhu Jiuyin answered quickly: "In the picture scroll, the sky is wide and the earth is wide, this cow has to go down and squeeze."
Su Lian cast a glance at the dragon: "You will come down too - if you come out."
Zhu Jiuyin moved, and Zhang Ziyao seemed to have guessed what he was going to do before he moved, and quickly stopped him with a nervous face: "Think clearly, if you poke your tail out at this time, the carriage will be crushed." I’m sure I won’t be bothered to explain so much to those people at that time, you can find a way to explain to them why there is a dragon that can stretch out its tail and beard in a painting!”
Zhu Jiuyin: "..."
Zhu Jiuyin sat back on the treetop with a deflated face.
Before that, what Zhang Ziyao wanted to ask was of course not "why do you have to come down to squeeze in the picture scroll?" He realized that with the ability of these people to digress, if he didn't directly point out the problem, he might delay until the sun went down. Unable to find out why, he simply turned to Fuyao as if he had made up his mind, paused for a while, not knowing what expression he should put on, the young man could only say dryly: "As for this assassin lady——"
"My name is Fuyao. She is old enough to be your grandma. Who is your little sister?"
"..."
Fuyao glanced at Qianjiabaimei before, raised one leg, put his elbow on his knee to assume a standard bandit and bandit sitting posture, and cast a condescending glance at Zhang Ziyao: "Don't get me wrong, I'm really not here to serve you—my mistress Having said that, she knows that the wooden box is with you, and Master Zhu Jiuyin and the beast are also with you. Since Master Zhu Jiuyin does not want to take the wooden box back with her, she will leave it with you for the time being... only she is not Not so worried about whether ordinary people in this area can take care of the object, so I sent my old lady to look after you—by the way, take care of Mr. Zhu Jiuyin."
Zhang Ziyao blurted out, "What care do you need for a piece of paper?"
Zhu Jiuyin: "I am precious, even if it is a piece of paper dragon, it is still a piece of paper dragon of gold."
Zhang Ziyao turned his head and stared at Zhu Jiuyin: Now is the time to argue with me?
Zhu Jiuyin also stared back at him firmly: "The majesty of this king should not be offended at any time." This is the basic principle, so yes.
Under Zhu Jiuyin's righteous stare, Zhang Ziyao sighed: "You want a maidservant to serve you and I'll burn it for you, tormenting such a big living person here..."
You don't have a sore eye either.
My eyes were almost dazzled by the pair of dicks jumping around on her chest.
Tomorrow will have the eye of a needle.
Zhang Ziyao shut his mouth, all these complaints were swallowed back into his stomach and he didn't say it... Pausing for a while, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he looked at Fuyao again - this time, probably after listening to Fuyao's long speech After a series of remarks, he calmed down instead, the young man was much better than the shivering look before, he looked at Fuyao and said slowly: "Dare to ask this grandma, your mistress, but the empress? "
Fuyao raised the corners of her lips, and her face was quite proud: "You are sensible, Master Zhu Jiuyin told you?"
Zhang Ziyao nodded: "Forgive me, according to the little knowledge I know, Empress Houtu was already a woman thousands of years ago."
The corners of Fuyao's raised lips stiffened for a moment, and he was taken aback: "That's right, is there a problem?"
"Since the empress is already a married woman, if she doesn't take good care of her husband and son-in-law, why worry about other things, other things—" Zhang Ziyao thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the expressionless man in the picture scroll behind him, "Any other male creatures? "
Fuyao said "Oh", as if he had just realized what Zhang Ziyao meant, and said calmly, "After you marry a wife, do you have to choose your husband to raise a dog?"
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Zhu Jiuyin: "Who do you call a dog? Snake demon, can you say it again?"
"I'm offended, my lord, Fuyao is just a metaphor." Fuyao said, "My mistress asked me to look after you, so I will look at you; let me take care of Master Zhu Jiuyin, and I will take care of Master Zhu Jiuyin, you It is your business not to accept it, but I will follow you, because I want to complete the task my mistress entrusted to me——I will forget about what happened last night, anyway, the wound will heal in two days."
"What? You don't blame the past?" Zhang Ziyao thought that there was something wrong with his ears, "It seems that you are the one who disturbed people's dreams in the middle of the night and jumped into the window to meet with swords and swords if they didn't agree with each other?!"
"Who put the box here with you? Blame me." Fu Yao lightly turned his head away, his eyes wandered, and finally stopped at the child sitting opposite him, who had been motionless all this time, stared at him for a while with weird eyes, and then Slowly said, "Master Fei, it was you who fought against Fuyao last night?"
"Yes." Su Lian said emotionlessly, "I didn't expect you to have the guts to come back."
Fuyao chuckled softly, as if he was not threatened by Su Lian, the mole under his eyes jumped vividly, suddenly stood up and raised his hips slightly - Zhang Ziyao hurriedly dodged back, only to see the female snake demon straddling the barrier The young man between himself and Feishou stretched out a finger from a distance, and lifted Su Lian's chin: "It is said that Feishou is vicious and ugly, and everyone avoids it. Uh--I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." My child! Tsk tsk, it is said that the beasts arrive in the human world every year and ten years. At this rate, before the wooden box is recycled, Fuyao will be able to see that you have grown up, and when the time comes..."
As soon as the words fell, Su Lian mercilessly slapped his hand away.
Fuyao panted coquettishly, with complaints in his eyes, he withdrew his hand.
Looking at it, Zhang Ziyao felt that the situation was extremely irritating, and while no one was speaking, he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I don't care what orders your mistress gave you—this ancestor Grandma, my place is overcrowded now, and unfortunately, I happen to be autistic, so I can't eat or sleep with so many people around me..."
Fuyao smiled happily: "Then you will starve to death, you little fool, how many lives do you have to fight against your fairy grandma? When you die, my old lady recycles the wooden box, and she also buys one and gets two free, with Master Zhu Jiuyin and Isn't Master Fei's picture scroll wonderful?"
"..."
Inexplicably, Zhang Ziyao suddenly felt that Fuyao's painting style looked familiar.
After thinking about it, he turned his head numbly and looked at the man sitting on the treetop behind him.
Zhu Jiuyin rolled his eyes: "? What are you looking at?"
Zhang Ziyao withdrew his gaze, wiped his face——
This is just great.
Lai Pilong in the picture scroll hasn't learned what it means to stop, and now there is another female version of Lai Pilong.
This reptile is so pissed after being trained to become refined?
...Xu Xian is too pitiful.
……
An hour later.
"—Little idiot, I want to eat egg yolk crisps, the kind with red bean stuffing and salted duck eggs, without meat floss in it...not salty, not sweet, not delicious."
"—Little fool, this honey and nuts are really fragrant. It is most suitable for your fairy grandma without getting fat after eating it. After a while, you will ask for some from that stupid prince who has so much money and is easy to coax."
"—Little idiot, the guards outside are discussing hairy crabs. I want to eat hairy crabs."
"—Little fool, this looks good. Let your Yaoxian grandma play with it. Don't worry, I won't take it and run away, just play with it, really play with it."
"—little idiot..."
"—little fool..."
Drive halfway.
Zhang Ziyao was forced to roll and jump off the carriage by the two reptiles who had become refined, and he climbed up to the car with the building mark in the front as if he was caught in the net.
Looking at the young man who was in a state of distress and climbing up his carriage with hands and feet, the prince who was lazily leaning on the couch put down the military book he was reading in his hand, sat up a little and said with a playful smile on the corner of his lips: "Zi Yao Why is my carriage coming up? Is my carriage not good?"
The phrase "my own carriage" was stunned because he uttered something gaudy that made people blush and ear-piercing.
Zhang Ziyao was so teased that he blushed from the neck to the neck, waved his hands and said honestly: "My lord, don't make fun of Ziyao, he knows that Ziyao is not used to being alone with men and widows, but why..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyao let out an "ah".
The smile on Lou Hen's lips widened, and he deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"
"My lord did this just to see a joke." Zhang Ziyao looked remorseful, how could he fall into someone else's trap!
Hen finally couldn't help laughing when he went down the stairs, and tapped the book of war in his hand on his thigh: "Don't blame this king for playing around, but seeing Ziyao's anxious and panic-stricken appearance was so cute at that time, I couldn't help but want to I did that—I thought you would just jump on the empty horseback and give up the carriage at least halfway through, but I didn't expect... You ran away in such a short while, but you got into the king's carriage very wisely .”
"..."
When Lou Hen said this, Zhang Ziyao had to be a little abrupt, scratched his head and muttered apologetically.
The corner of Lou Hen's eyes smiled: "Why should Ziyao apologize, but I don't know how happy I am to see you here."
Zhang Ziyao felt that he was no longer deceived this time, glanced at Louhen, and said thoughtfully: "If you fall into the same pit twice, you will be a fool. I am not a fool, and I will never be fooled this time."
Lou Hen said nothing.He didn't say whether he was going to play tricks again, but the smile in his eyes deepened... After a long time, he looked at the boy, then touched his chin and said, "Well, I seem to be more energetic..."
Zhang Ziyao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him inexplicably: "My lord?"
"I was in the inn just now, and I don't know what that crazy old man said to you, and your complexion has been sour since then—this king was just thinking about how to cheer you up, if that beautiful maid If you can really do it, it doesn’t matter if I tolerate the sacrifice a little bit.”
"?"
Zhang Ziyao didn't understand Lou Hen's last sentence, and he didn't understand what the matter between him and Fuyao had to do with Lou Hen... Could it be that he had taken a fancy to Fuyao and wanted to take her into his room, and now he regarded her as his own? everything?
Uh, but that's a monster.
And it's a particularly difficult monster.
Zhang Ziyao felt that this topic was a bit embarrassing, so he simply skipped it, and then he was idle when he was idle. Seeing that Lou Hen didn't pick up the military book to continue reading, Zhang Ziyao began to find nothing to say: "My lord, the Taihang Mountains are so vast. Where are you going?"
"Four hundred miles to the east of the Taihang Mountains is our Tiancang border, where there is a lack of water and drought all year round, and it is surrounded by deserts. However, in the middle of the desert, there is a city that is even isolated from the world, and light-colored roses bloom on the walls all the year round..."
Zhang Ziyao turned his head to look at Lou Hen in shock——
Lou Hen said lazily: "Wu Bei City."
Zhang Ziyao's eyes widened slightly, and Yan Zhen's appearance when he warned himself appeared in his mind—yes, yes, he had considered ignoring all the confusion and just sending his lost relatives to where she wanted to go This place made her have no regrets in life - he even made up his mind to sacrifice something... But what Zhang Ziyao didn't expect was that Louhen and his party who had just said that they would come to the Taihang Mountains to station troops in the Taihang Mountains to send food to prepare to fight against foreign enemies , is also the city of no sorrow.
"Wu Sorrow City? Are we going to Wu Sorrow City?!"
"It seems that Zi Yao is also familiar with this story."
"I heard the story of the princess and her 36 knights a long time ago, and then I heard something else..." Zhang Ziyao swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty, "Just now, the old man in the inn said, He saw right away that my mother came back from the dead and came back from the city of Wusai, and said that the place was cursed, life and death cannot be forced, if nothing important..."
"'——'Don't go to the city of no sorrow'."
"You must never go to the city of no sorrow, right?"
The two people in the carriage spoke in unison, Zhang Ziyao bit his lower lip and raised his eyes to glance at the building mark, then fell silent... The latter looked natural, just smiled and said: "Of course this king knows the beauty of the city of no sorrow, that's why this The king didn't make a fuss when facing your mother who came back from the dead—don't Ziyao find it strange? As an ordinary person, how can this king be calm about such things?"
"..." Lou Hen didn't mention it, Zhang Ziyao really didn't think about it carefully.
"My king has heard a lot of rumors about the city of no sorrow. People demonize that place because they have not seen its beauty with their own eyes—and they don't even know that this small city located on the border is actually the most important city guarding the border of our country. A solid and unbreakable line of defense." Lou Hen paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Zi Yao, if the 36 uninjured, indestructible, and fearless cavalry in the story really existed, what do you think?"
Zhang Ziyao said subconsciously: "Naturally, one enemy with thousands of enemy troops..."
In the middle of speaking, he stopped suddenly and looked at Louhen in amazement!
The latter just lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "This is the reason why no one dared to invade the Taihang Mountains in the past hundred years, even with light soldiers and sparse defenses. The army, there are only dozens of people in the army, but as said, one is worth a hundred, guarding the peace of our country."
Since there is such a thing!Zhang Ziyao was extremely shocked.
"Don't be sad, the army is not old, not dead, not alive, and it is said that the only one who can end their lives is yourself - at the end of the story of Princess Turing and the 36 cavalry, it is rumored that a cavalry killed the princess... Such a tragic ending makes people sigh Those who insist on rebirth are cursed, as ruthless as the walking dead."
"..."
"People don't know that the complex emotions of ordinary people are doomed to the delicate relationship between people. Is it for grievances? For emotional injuries? For rights? Or for countless gold and silver treasures... We still don't know who the name is The real reason why the knights killed the killers - we only know that after the death of Princess Turing, the 36 cavalry managed their country properly for a long time, and the people lived and worked in peace. But in the end, the 36 knights still could not escape overnight The tragedy of suddenly disappearing... No one knows where they went, and no one knows if they are still alive—"
Listening to the story, Zhang Ziyao was almost immersed in the story.
"Until thousands of years later, the Mirror Witch with the ability to call people back from the underworld appeared again. Every year, she would choose a few loyal and kind people and call them back from the underworld from time to time. Join the Wubei Army, and this army will continue to grow..."
If this is the case and only increases, why is there still only a few dozen people in the Wubei Army?Zhang Ziyao had doubts in his heart, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some subtleties that the building traces had not revealed.
However, while he was tossing his mind, he still asked other questions that were more important to him first: "But my mother is not a warrior, how could that mirror witch..."
"The Zhang family is unusual. It must be that your younger brother Zhang Zixiao used some method to convince the Mirror Witch to make an extra exception." Lou Hen said with a smile, "This time when I go to Wubei City, Ziyao will naturally meet the Mirror Witch herself. If you have any confusion then, what's the harm in asking yourself?"
So, did Zhang Zixiao really bother?
Zhang Ziyao was silent for a moment, and was about to speak, when there was a commotion from outside, but the carriage stopped suddenly——
After a while, Louhen's guard's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, the bridge leading to the valley from the cliff ahead has been broken for some reason. In the past, this official road was always taken, and there is no indication on the map whether there are other roads." Let's go, if we call someone to repair it now, it will take at least ten days and a half months..."
The bridge is broken?
Zhang Ziyao frowned slightly, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and as expected, he saw a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist directly in front of the convoy. If the guards stand on the edge of the cliff, the echo can be heard when the voice of the conversation is a little louder-there seems to be no other way to go around, as far as the eye can see, there is a green forest, and the only passage is the wide rope bridge connecting the two ends , now I don't know whether it is decayed and broken due to natural reasons, or destroyed by man...
"If you have to wait ten days and a half months, is this king full of food for rushing all the way? After crossing the bridge, you will reach the edge of Wusai City. You make me stare blankly across the cliff? "Lou Hen jumped off the carriage and said expressionlessly. The surrounding soldiers all lowered their heads and did not dare to answer. Everyone seemed to be afraid of bad luck. They said in twos and threes that they would go to find the way, and then they dispersed.
Zhang Ziyao got out of the carriage, and after a while, he heard the carriage behind him also stop. Yuanshi and Fuyao also jumped out of different carriages. Anxiety was rarely seen; while Fuyao walked to Zhang Ziyao with a smile on his water snake waist, and without waiting for him to make a sound, he bent down and tied the rolled picture scroll around his waist respectfully, and said with a smile: "Young Master's painting Son—you must remember to take it with you when the young master leaves next time. I really can’t bear to be alone with this painting. I’m really afraid that the painting will tear itself apart if there is a disagreement. The young master’s precious things will not be explained by the servants at that time. !"
Fuyao's words were neither loud nor low, but only Zhang Ziyao could hear them. Hearing her nonsense, Zhang Ziyao rolled his eyes and stepped back to keep a safe distance from her: "Can you lift your clothes up, that thing is fast fell out."
"Which thing?"
Fuyao blinked inexplicably at first, then looked down a moment later to realize what Zhang Ziyao was saying, and suddenly laughed like an old hen, and muttered nonchalantly, "It's so cute, no wonder Mr. Zhu Jiuyin is a baby"... ... Zhang Ziyao rolled his eyes to the back of his head. When he looked up and saw Yuanshi approaching, he restrained his indecent expression, pushed Fuyao to signal her not to be so crazy, and when Yuanshi approached, changed He said in a gentle voice: "Mother, some guards said that the bridge ahead is broken, and it may take a while."
Yuan Shi nodded, raised his hand and caressed his neck as if inadvertently.
Zhang Ziyao's heart tightened for no reason.
At this time, I heard Fuyao pretending to stretch his neck and look into the distance, "Hey, this bridge is really broken!"
Zhang Ziyao knows that the eyes of these monsters are very good, and I am afraid that he can see the situation there clearly with a casual glance at the moment-this snake monster really loves to act, he can consider going after retirement Be an actor... While he was slandering, he heard the guard in front of him report from Tong Louhen: "Reporting to the lord, after investigation, this broken bridge may have been eroded and aged by years of wind and rain, and broke by itself. The subordinates have sent people to find other detours." The road and the artisans who came to rest—”
"Wind and rain are eroding the fart," Fuyao leaned into Zhang Ziyao's ear and whispered, "This bridge was clearly broken and covered up, and my old lady could smell the mortal odor left on the broken rope from eight hundred miles away... "
"Then you are so close to me, are you afraid of killing you?"
"You're different." Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fuyao stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Ziyao's face, "Grandma Yaoxian likes such a cute little tender bun like you."
Zhang Ziyao had goose bumps all over his body, as if he saw a poisonous snake hissing and spitting apricots at him with its fangs bared.
"Little fool, don't blame Grandma Yaoxian for not reminding you, there is no other way around here, and those little brother guards will go in vain." Fuyao rubbed up again as if he had no bones, and lazily said, "You That weird mother looks very anxious to rush to the city of the living dead——if you say something nice, Grandma Yaoxian will be merciful and find the bird sisters to build a cloud bridge to see you off A journey... just like this, you owe Grandma Yaoxian a great favor."
As soon as Fuyao finished speaking, as if to verify her statement, a bird twittered from a branch and landed on her shoulder, tilting its head and looking at Zhang Ziyao; Fuyao himself also smiled, looking at Zhang Ziyao with spring eyes—
However, before she could continue coaxing her with words, someone lightly poked her smooth forehead with a finger.
"The desire to express is so strong. At the beginning, it might as well be my grandma. If you want to be a maid, you will look like a maid," Zhang Ziyao said, "Stay alone."
After saying that, the young man turned and walked away, came to Lou Hen and said something to him in a low voice—on the contrary, Fuyao, who had always talked a lot, seemed to be really stunned this time, standing there silent for a long time, looking not far away After seeing the boy's back for a while, she raised her head and touched her forehead, showing a fresh expression.
In no time.
All the carriages in front of the cliff moved away, and a soldier came out from behind the carriage holding a roll of seemingly extremely thick rice paper. A long strip of pale yellow rice paper stretched out from people's feet like a carpet... and At the same time, the young man with the gilt pen hanging on his waist also came to stand firm in front of the drawing paper, took off the gilt pen, turned around and took the ink from the hand of the guard who was holding the ink cartridge——
Crooked ink traces appear on the rice paper, and the frizzy appearance is a bit like the rope of a broken bridge not far away. The boy draws from one end of the rice paper to the other, until he reaches the edge of the cliff, without stopping , the gilt pen in his hand swept out of the painting, and a surprising scene appeared - not only did the ink not disappear, but it seemed to find the place where the pen was written in the air, and the ink appeared outside the drawing paper out of thin air...
The ink blots spread, blurred at first, and gradually became clearer in the end.
The boy did the same thing on the other side of the paper.
After a while, two zigzag lines appeared in midair out of thin air.The young man wrote a few pens between the two lines again, and Zhang Ziyao carefully stepped on a crooked board that seemed to be straddled between two ropes. After stepping on it, he let out a long breath——
The people standing on the edge of the cliff looked up and down, watching the young man paint a piece of rope and a piece of wood, from the edge of the cliff to the top of the cliff, and move a place a little bit—about half an hour later, that The bridge was drawn little by little, and extending from the foot of the building mark standing on the cliff side, is a crooked, seemingly crude ink bridge!
Fuyao covered her lips and smiled lightly: "The painting is really ugly."
At this time, Zhang Ziyao had already stood up, wiped off his sweat, jumped forward lightly and landed on the flat ground, then turned around, and waved at the people on the other side of the cliff—people cheered and got on their horses, a The soldier started first, carefully riding his mount onto the crude ink bridge. After carefully observing for a while, he said loudly and excitedly: "Yes, yes! Really! You see, I didn't fall off! "
When the voice came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go happily...
Fuyao glanced at Yuan Shi who was also boarding the carriage not far away, his gaze paused between her neck and neck, his eyeballs rolled around in his eye sockets, then he looked away, and climbed into the carriage she was using just now, Sitting firmly in the car, I just remembered something and opened the curtain, and said coquettishly to the unknown thing outside the window: "It's gone, didn't you see how capable that little fool is to draw a bridge alive? "
As soon as Fuyao finished speaking, a large flock of birds chirped, fluttering their wings and chirping from the woods to the sky——
The carriage swayed and moved forward slowly, and the whole convoy drove slowly onto the simple ink bridge...
There is no sad city border.
In the tent, the little girl was lying on the bed with her bare feet, staring intently at the bronze mirror in front of her. In the bronze mirror, there was a faint picture of a mighty convoy passing Moqiao. Hi, jumped up from the bed, danced and said——
"Mother? Mother! They are coming! They are coming! People from the court, and Aunt Yuan, they are coming from the bridge!"
As soon as the words fell, the tent was hastily lifted from the outside, a woman quickly walked into the tent, snatched the bronze mirror from the excited little girl's hand, and angrily said: "Don't touch this bronze mirror! Why don’t you listen to it and play it secretly—who came outside, what does it have to do with you? See how energetic you are, otherwise save food and don’t eat tonight!”
The woman's sudden anger made the little girl's smile stiff, and she froze in place on the spot.
She watched the angry woman snatch away the mirror, and turned back out of the tent without looking back... For a long time, she lowered her head in disappointment, looked at the bloodstains on her fingers scraped by the sharp edge of the bronze mirror, and remained silent for a while , completely lost the previous lively joy.
Do not go to the city of no sorrow!
Zhang Ziyao sat at the table in a daze and remained silent for a long time, Yan Zhen's words were still echoing in his ears...
Why not go to the city of no sorrow?
What's in the city of no sorrow?Why did the 36 loyal knights draw their swords against Princess Turing in the end?What happened to this unknown?
Zhang Ziyao was caught in a dilemma. Even though Yuanshi had finished washing and sat down beside him for a long time, he didn't talk to her right away... Until Yuanshi finished his breakfast and the carriage team was about to set off, Zhang Ziyao turned around and thanked the old man and said goodbye At that time, he could clearly see the serious and helpless eyes of the old man looking at him, as if guessing that no matter how he warned, the young man in front of him was destined not to listen to him.
Zhang Ziyao walked out of the inn in a daze, and was about to climb into the carriage when he was suddenly stopped by Lou Hen.He turned his head strangely, but saw that all the guards around him, including Lou Hen, were smiling ambiguously. Looking at him at this time was like watching a little fox stealing fish, and Lou Hen said slowly to him: "Ziyao, I almost forgot to tell you. A servant girl came to the door suddenly in front of the inn this morning, claiming to be the servant girl you used to use when you were in Zhang's house. Because you have been away from home for too long, your family members are worried that you will be killed outside. The stranger didn't take good care of you, so she sent her to look for you—she went to the capital before, and knew you had left, so she chased after you with great pains. Hurt by..."
Zhang Ziyao: "Huh?"
Zhang Ziyao didn't react immediately.
maid?
Who?
Chunfeng?
Zhang Ziyao was stunned, and the image of Chunfeng, a coward who loved to cry, was riding a horse fast on her short legs!horse!add!whip!All the way from the Zhang family to the capital and then from the capital to this scene of the Taihang Mountains - thinking about it, I feel that this scene is very ridiculous... The corners of his lips twitched. Zhang Ziyao was about to say that he didn't have any maids. The family members don't care whether he is being served well, they only care about when he will die, but before he can say anything, he sees a graceful figure walking out from behind the building trace——
Then he knew why Lou Hen and the guards were laughing like this.
The visitor is tall and tall, with a plain double-headed snake-shaped hairpin on her hair, and a plain flower-length skirt. She has fair skin, a small and tall nose, a pair of phoenix eyes that are eager to speak, and a beautiful woman under the corner of her right eye. The mole on Bai Shengxue's face looked particularly eye-catching... At this time, she smiled like a sweet smile, as if she was really happy to see Zhang Ziyao, and said in a delicate voice: "Master, Fuyao has been chasing you so hard!"
Zhang Ziyao: "?"
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Wait, wait? !
Under Zhang Ziyao's shocked eyes, the maid who called herself "Fuyao" approached slowly, and a pair of trembling white rabbits on the woman's chest were almost ready to emerge—but this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that she didn't hide it at all on her right arm A white bandage was wrapped around the ground, and blood was faintly leaking from under the bandage, as if... she had been wounded by a sword.
And it's very recent.
Zhang Ziyao felt dizzy.
So he supported the carriage beside him behind him, and was frantically trying to suppress his shock by breaking the window lattice of the carriage. At this time, he heard Yuan Shi behind him say strangely: "Strange, when did our family have such a beautiful maid? Why? Mother has never seen..."
Zhang Ziyao immediately turned to look at his mother hopefully.
However, I didn't expect the woman to answer eloquently: "My lady doesn't know something. After my wife passed away, the young master took care of your funeral affairs. I happened to meet a servant girl in Yizhuang who sold her body to bury her father. In a moment of resignation, she sent my servant girl some money to buy a set for my father." What a coffin... the servant girl was very grateful, and immediately swore that she was willing to work for the young master and be a servant girl forever." Fuyao's smiling and delicate voice seemed to be coquettish when talking to anyone, but he did not hide his ability to lie without changing his face.
Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath: "What the hell?! I didn't—"
"Oh, so there is such a beautiful and moving story, but this king doesn't know about it! Ziyao, it's true that good people get rewarded with good things. This king is really envious, envious!"
Lou Hen laughed loudly, and a group of guards around him also roared with laughter.
"No no no no?! I really didn't—"
Zhang Ziyao blushed—not shyly—purely anxious, he wanted to growl loudly, "This mother is not a handmaid who prostituted herself to bury her father, but an assassin snake demon who came to my room last night to try to kill my dog." However, when the words came to his lips, Fuyao seemed to know in advance that the woman turned her head and glanced at Zhang Ziyao without changing her smile. A trace of sound!
Zhang Ziyao was going crazy.
However, at this time, no one was ready to give him a chance to explain. He was almost pushed into a separate carriage by those "kind guards" and the snake monster. The curtain of the carriage was drawn down. Zhang Ziyao understood what was going on, and the carriage creaked away from the inn...
Zhang Ziyao felt that he had been kidnapped.
"Kidnapping" in various senses.
I saw that the woman who called herself "Fuyao" got into the carriage, the smile on her face collapsed, she lifted her skirt with pride, and first firmly occupied a corner of the carriage; He broke free at the waist and hung it on the wall of the car behind him. In the scroll, Zhu Jiuyin sat on the top of a tree with her sleeves folded, and said "Oh"; then a not-too-dazzling white light flashed, wearing a blindfold The golden-eyed, one-eyed boy also appeared in the already crowded carriage. His hands and neck—except for that pretty face, were covered in white snow everywhere that was exposed to the air and might be accidentally touched. At this moment, he glanced at the other woman in the carriage, hesitated, and sat down in another corner of the carriage; Zhang Ziyao shrank in the middle, with a panicked and bewildered expression, and continued to tremble.
——Zhang Ziyao swears that at least at the moment when he stepped out of the gate of the Zhang family and climbed into the carriage to the capital, he was still a lone ranger.
And now.
Look at the beautiful child on the left sitting upright, with his hands on his knees and staring blankly at what he is thinking; look at the beautiful maid sitting cross-legged on the right, with her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised and her face provocatively squinting at him; Look behind him, the handsome man with his legs crossed lazily, sitting crookedly on a pine branch with his head slightly lowered, watching the crowded situation in the car with interest——
Zhang Ziyao couldn't understand at all, when...when did there be so many people around him, and at this moment, they were crowded with him in a carriage that could only accommodate two people at most, Everyone takes it for granted, and no one feels that they are superfluous.
The crowd was silent.
In the end, it was Zhang Ziyao who couldn't bear to break the silence: "So, what's going on?"
Zhu Jiuyin answered quickly: "In the picture scroll, the sky is wide and the earth is wide, this cow has to go down and squeeze."
Su Lian cast a glance at the dragon: "You will come down too - if you come out."
Zhu Jiuyin moved, and Zhang Ziyao seemed to have guessed what he was going to do before he moved, and quickly stopped him with a nervous face: "Think clearly, if you poke your tail out at this time, the carriage will be crushed." I’m sure I won’t be bothered to explain so much to those people at that time, you can find a way to explain to them why there is a dragon that can stretch out its tail and beard in a painting!”
Zhu Jiuyin: "..."
Zhu Jiuyin sat back on the treetop with a deflated face.
Before that, what Zhang Ziyao wanted to ask was of course not "why do you have to come down to squeeze in the picture scroll?" He realized that with the ability of these people to digress, if he didn't directly point out the problem, he might delay until the sun went down. Unable to find out why, he simply turned to Fuyao as if he had made up his mind, paused for a while, not knowing what expression he should put on, the young man could only say dryly: "As for this assassin lady——"
"My name is Fuyao. She is old enough to be your grandma. Who is your little sister?"
"..."
Fuyao glanced at Qianjiabaimei before, raised one leg, put his elbow on his knee to assume a standard bandit and bandit sitting posture, and cast a condescending glance at Zhang Ziyao: "Don't get me wrong, I'm really not here to serve you—my mistress Having said that, she knows that the wooden box is with you, and Master Zhu Jiuyin and the beast are also with you. Since Master Zhu Jiuyin does not want to take the wooden box back with her, she will leave it with you for the time being... only she is not Not so worried about whether ordinary people in this area can take care of the object, so I sent my old lady to look after you—by the way, take care of Mr. Zhu Jiuyin."
Zhang Ziyao blurted out, "What care do you need for a piece of paper?"
Zhu Jiuyin: "I am precious, even if it is a piece of paper dragon, it is still a piece of paper dragon of gold."
Zhang Ziyao turned his head and stared at Zhu Jiuyin: Now is the time to argue with me?
Zhu Jiuyin also stared back at him firmly: "The majesty of this king should not be offended at any time." This is the basic principle, so yes.
Under Zhu Jiuyin's righteous stare, Zhang Ziyao sighed: "You want a maidservant to serve you and I'll burn it for you, tormenting such a big living person here..."
You don't have a sore eye either.
My eyes were almost dazzled by the pair of dicks jumping around on her chest.
Tomorrow will have the eye of a needle.
Zhang Ziyao shut his mouth, all these complaints were swallowed back into his stomach and he didn't say it... Pausing for a while, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he looked at Fuyao again - this time, probably after listening to Fuyao's long speech After a series of remarks, he calmed down instead, the young man was much better than the shivering look before, he looked at Fuyao and said slowly: "Dare to ask this grandma, your mistress, but the empress? "
Fuyao raised the corners of her lips, and her face was quite proud: "You are sensible, Master Zhu Jiuyin told you?"
Zhang Ziyao nodded: "Forgive me, according to the little knowledge I know, Empress Houtu was already a woman thousands of years ago."
The corners of Fuyao's raised lips stiffened for a moment, and he was taken aback: "That's right, is there a problem?"
"Since the empress is already a married woman, if she doesn't take good care of her husband and son-in-law, why worry about other things, other things—" Zhang Ziyao thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the expressionless man in the picture scroll behind him, "Any other male creatures? "
Fuyao said "Oh", as if he had just realized what Zhang Ziyao meant, and said calmly, "After you marry a wife, do you have to choose your husband to raise a dog?"
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Zhu Jiuyin: "Who do you call a dog? Snake demon, can you say it again?"
"I'm offended, my lord, Fuyao is just a metaphor." Fuyao said, "My mistress asked me to look after you, so I will look at you; let me take care of Master Zhu Jiuyin, and I will take care of Master Zhu Jiuyin, you It is your business not to accept it, but I will follow you, because I want to complete the task my mistress entrusted to me——I will forget about what happened last night, anyway, the wound will heal in two days."
"What? You don't blame the past?" Zhang Ziyao thought that there was something wrong with his ears, "It seems that you are the one who disturbed people's dreams in the middle of the night and jumped into the window to meet with swords and swords if they didn't agree with each other?!"
"Who put the box here with you? Blame me." Fu Yao lightly turned his head away, his eyes wandered, and finally stopped at the child sitting opposite him, who had been motionless all this time, stared at him for a while with weird eyes, and then Slowly said, "Master Fei, it was you who fought against Fuyao last night?"
"Yes." Su Lian said emotionlessly, "I didn't expect you to have the guts to come back."
Fuyao chuckled softly, as if he was not threatened by Su Lian, the mole under his eyes jumped vividly, suddenly stood up and raised his hips slightly - Zhang Ziyao hurriedly dodged back, only to see the female snake demon straddling the barrier The young man between himself and Feishou stretched out a finger from a distance, and lifted Su Lian's chin: "It is said that Feishou is vicious and ugly, and everyone avoids it. Uh--I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." My child! Tsk tsk, it is said that the beasts arrive in the human world every year and ten years. At this rate, before the wooden box is recycled, Fuyao will be able to see that you have grown up, and when the time comes..."
As soon as the words fell, Su Lian mercilessly slapped his hand away.
Fuyao panted coquettishly, with complaints in his eyes, he withdrew his hand.
Looking at it, Zhang Ziyao felt that the situation was extremely irritating, and while no one was speaking, he waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I don't care what orders your mistress gave you—this ancestor Grandma, my place is overcrowded now, and unfortunately, I happen to be autistic, so I can't eat or sleep with so many people around me..."
Fuyao smiled happily: "Then you will starve to death, you little fool, how many lives do you have to fight against your fairy grandma? When you die, my old lady recycles the wooden box, and she also buys one and gets two free, with Master Zhu Jiuyin and Isn't Master Fei's picture scroll wonderful?"
"..."
Inexplicably, Zhang Ziyao suddenly felt that Fuyao's painting style looked familiar.
After thinking about it, he turned his head numbly and looked at the man sitting on the treetop behind him.
Zhu Jiuyin rolled his eyes: "? What are you looking at?"
Zhang Ziyao withdrew his gaze, wiped his face——
This is just great.
Lai Pilong in the picture scroll hasn't learned what it means to stop, and now there is another female version of Lai Pilong.
This reptile is so pissed after being trained to become refined?
...Xu Xian is too pitiful.
……
An hour later.
"—Little idiot, I want to eat egg yolk crisps, the kind with red bean stuffing and salted duck eggs, without meat floss in it...not salty, not sweet, not delicious."
"—Little fool, this honey and nuts are really fragrant. It is most suitable for your fairy grandma without getting fat after eating it. After a while, you will ask for some from that stupid prince who has so much money and is easy to coax."
"—Little idiot, the guards outside are discussing hairy crabs. I want to eat hairy crabs."
"—Little fool, this looks good. Let your Yaoxian grandma play with it. Don't worry, I won't take it and run away, just play with it, really play with it."
"—little idiot..."
"—little fool..."
Drive halfway.
Zhang Ziyao was forced to roll and jump off the carriage by the two reptiles who had become refined, and he climbed up to the car with the building mark in the front as if he was caught in the net.
Looking at the young man who was in a state of distress and climbing up his carriage with hands and feet, the prince who was lazily leaning on the couch put down the military book he was reading in his hand, sat up a little and said with a playful smile on the corner of his lips: "Zi Yao Why is my carriage coming up? Is my carriage not good?"
The phrase "my own carriage" was stunned because he uttered something gaudy that made people blush and ear-piercing.
Zhang Ziyao was so teased that he blushed from the neck to the neck, waved his hands and said honestly: "My lord, don't make fun of Ziyao, he knows that Ziyao is not used to being alone with men and widows, but why..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyao let out an "ah".
The smile on Lou Hen's lips widened, and he deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"
"My lord did this just to see a joke." Zhang Ziyao looked remorseful, how could he fall into someone else's trap!
Hen finally couldn't help laughing when he went down the stairs, and tapped the book of war in his hand on his thigh: "Don't blame this king for playing around, but seeing Ziyao's anxious and panic-stricken appearance was so cute at that time, I couldn't help but want to I did that—I thought you would just jump on the empty horseback and give up the carriage at least halfway through, but I didn't expect... You ran away in such a short while, but you got into the king's carriage very wisely .”
"..."
When Lou Hen said this, Zhang Ziyao had to be a little abrupt, scratched his head and muttered apologetically.
The corner of Lou Hen's eyes smiled: "Why should Ziyao apologize, but I don't know how happy I am to see you here."
Zhang Ziyao felt that he was no longer deceived this time, glanced at Louhen, and said thoughtfully: "If you fall into the same pit twice, you will be a fool. I am not a fool, and I will never be fooled this time."
Lou Hen said nothing.He didn't say whether he was going to play tricks again, but the smile in his eyes deepened... After a long time, he looked at the boy, then touched his chin and said, "Well, I seem to be more energetic..."
Zhang Ziyao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him inexplicably: "My lord?"
"I was in the inn just now, and I don't know what that crazy old man said to you, and your complexion has been sour since then—this king was just thinking about how to cheer you up, if that beautiful maid If you can really do it, it doesn’t matter if I tolerate the sacrifice a little bit.”
"?"
Zhang Ziyao didn't understand Lou Hen's last sentence, and he didn't understand what the matter between him and Fuyao had to do with Lou Hen... Could it be that he had taken a fancy to Fuyao and wanted to take her into his room, and now he regarded her as his own? everything?
Uh, but that's a monster.
And it's a particularly difficult monster.
Zhang Ziyao felt that this topic was a bit embarrassing, so he simply skipped it, and then he was idle when he was idle. Seeing that Lou Hen didn't pick up the military book to continue reading, Zhang Ziyao began to find nothing to say: "My lord, the Taihang Mountains are so vast. Where are you going?"
"Four hundred miles to the east of the Taihang Mountains is our Tiancang border, where there is a lack of water and drought all year round, and it is surrounded by deserts. However, in the middle of the desert, there is a city that is even isolated from the world, and light-colored roses bloom on the walls all the year round..."
Zhang Ziyao turned his head to look at Lou Hen in shock——
Lou Hen said lazily: "Wu Bei City."
Zhang Ziyao's eyes widened slightly, and Yan Zhen's appearance when he warned himself appeared in his mind—yes, yes, he had considered ignoring all the confusion and just sending his lost relatives to where she wanted to go This place made her have no regrets in life - he even made up his mind to sacrifice something... But what Zhang Ziyao didn't expect was that Louhen and his party who had just said that they would come to the Taihang Mountains to station troops in the Taihang Mountains to send food to prepare to fight against foreign enemies , is also the city of no sorrow.
"Wu Sorrow City? Are we going to Wu Sorrow City?!"
"It seems that Zi Yao is also familiar with this story."
"I heard the story of the princess and her 36 knights a long time ago, and then I heard something else..." Zhang Ziyao swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty, "Just now, the old man in the inn said, He saw right away that my mother came back from the dead and came back from the city of Wusai, and said that the place was cursed, life and death cannot be forced, if nothing important..."
"'——'Don't go to the city of no sorrow'."
"You must never go to the city of no sorrow, right?"
The two people in the carriage spoke in unison, Zhang Ziyao bit his lower lip and raised his eyes to glance at the building mark, then fell silent... The latter looked natural, just smiled and said: "Of course this king knows the beauty of the city of no sorrow, that's why this The king didn't make a fuss when facing your mother who came back from the dead—don't Ziyao find it strange? As an ordinary person, how can this king be calm about such things?"
"..." Lou Hen didn't mention it, Zhang Ziyao really didn't think about it carefully.
"My king has heard a lot of rumors about the city of no sorrow. People demonize that place because they have not seen its beauty with their own eyes—and they don't even know that this small city located on the border is actually the most important city guarding the border of our country. A solid and unbreakable line of defense." Lou Hen paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Zi Yao, if the 36 uninjured, indestructible, and fearless cavalry in the story really existed, what do you think?"
Zhang Ziyao said subconsciously: "Naturally, one enemy with thousands of enemy troops..."
In the middle of speaking, he stopped suddenly and looked at Louhen in amazement!
The latter just lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "This is the reason why no one dared to invade the Taihang Mountains in the past hundred years, even with light soldiers and sparse defenses. The army, there are only dozens of people in the army, but as said, one is worth a hundred, guarding the peace of our country."
Since there is such a thing!Zhang Ziyao was extremely shocked.
"Don't be sad, the army is not old, not dead, not alive, and it is said that the only one who can end their lives is yourself - at the end of the story of Princess Turing and the 36 cavalry, it is rumored that a cavalry killed the princess... Such a tragic ending makes people sigh Those who insist on rebirth are cursed, as ruthless as the walking dead."
"..."
"People don't know that the complex emotions of ordinary people are doomed to the delicate relationship between people. Is it for grievances? For emotional injuries? For rights? Or for countless gold and silver treasures... We still don't know who the name is The real reason why the knights killed the killers - we only know that after the death of Princess Turing, the 36 cavalry managed their country properly for a long time, and the people lived and worked in peace. But in the end, the 36 knights still could not escape overnight The tragedy of suddenly disappearing... No one knows where they went, and no one knows if they are still alive—"
Listening to the story, Zhang Ziyao was almost immersed in the story.
"Until thousands of years later, the Mirror Witch with the ability to call people back from the underworld appeared again. Every year, she would choose a few loyal and kind people and call them back from the underworld from time to time. Join the Wubei Army, and this army will continue to grow..."
If this is the case and only increases, why is there still only a few dozen people in the Wubei Army?Zhang Ziyao had doubts in his heart, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some subtleties that the building traces had not revealed.
However, while he was tossing his mind, he still asked other questions that were more important to him first: "But my mother is not a warrior, how could that mirror witch..."
"The Zhang family is unusual. It must be that your younger brother Zhang Zixiao used some method to convince the Mirror Witch to make an extra exception." Lou Hen said with a smile, "This time when I go to Wubei City, Ziyao will naturally meet the Mirror Witch herself. If you have any confusion then, what's the harm in asking yourself?"
So, did Zhang Zixiao really bother?
Zhang Ziyao was silent for a moment, and was about to speak, when there was a commotion from outside, but the carriage stopped suddenly——
After a while, Louhen's guard's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, the bridge leading to the valley from the cliff ahead has been broken for some reason. In the past, this official road was always taken, and there is no indication on the map whether there are other roads." Let's go, if we call someone to repair it now, it will take at least ten days and a half months..."
The bridge is broken?
Zhang Ziyao frowned slightly, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and as expected, he saw a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist directly in front of the convoy. If the guards stand on the edge of the cliff, the echo can be heard when the voice of the conversation is a little louder-there seems to be no other way to go around, as far as the eye can see, there is a green forest, and the only passage is the wide rope bridge connecting the two ends , now I don't know whether it is decayed and broken due to natural reasons, or destroyed by man...
"If you have to wait ten days and a half months, is this king full of food for rushing all the way? After crossing the bridge, you will reach the edge of Wusai City. You make me stare blankly across the cliff? "Lou Hen jumped off the carriage and said expressionlessly. The surrounding soldiers all lowered their heads and did not dare to answer. Everyone seemed to be afraid of bad luck. They said in twos and threes that they would go to find the way, and then they dispersed.
Zhang Ziyao got out of the carriage, and after a while, he heard the carriage behind him also stop. Yuanshi and Fuyao also jumped out of different carriages. Anxiety was rarely seen; while Fuyao walked to Zhang Ziyao with a smile on his water snake waist, and without waiting for him to make a sound, he bent down and tied the rolled picture scroll around his waist respectfully, and said with a smile: "Young Master's painting Son—you must remember to take it with you when the young master leaves next time. I really can’t bear to be alone with this painting. I’m really afraid that the painting will tear itself apart if there is a disagreement. The young master’s precious things will not be explained by the servants at that time. !"
Fuyao's words were neither loud nor low, but only Zhang Ziyao could hear them. Hearing her nonsense, Zhang Ziyao rolled his eyes and stepped back to keep a safe distance from her: "Can you lift your clothes up, that thing is fast fell out."
"Which thing?"
Fuyao blinked inexplicably at first, then looked down a moment later to realize what Zhang Ziyao was saying, and suddenly laughed like an old hen, and muttered nonchalantly, "It's so cute, no wonder Mr. Zhu Jiuyin is a baby"... ... Zhang Ziyao rolled his eyes to the back of his head. When he looked up and saw Yuanshi approaching, he restrained his indecent expression, pushed Fuyao to signal her not to be so crazy, and when Yuanshi approached, changed He said in a gentle voice: "Mother, some guards said that the bridge ahead is broken, and it may take a while."
Yuan Shi nodded, raised his hand and caressed his neck as if inadvertently.
Zhang Ziyao's heart tightened for no reason.
At this time, I heard Fuyao pretending to stretch his neck and look into the distance, "Hey, this bridge is really broken!"
Zhang Ziyao knows that the eyes of these monsters are very good, and I am afraid that he can see the situation there clearly with a casual glance at the moment-this snake monster really loves to act, he can consider going after retirement Be an actor... While he was slandering, he heard the guard in front of him report from Tong Louhen: "Reporting to the lord, after investigation, this broken bridge may have been eroded and aged by years of wind and rain, and broke by itself. The subordinates have sent people to find other detours." The road and the artisans who came to rest—”
"Wind and rain are eroding the fart," Fuyao leaned into Zhang Ziyao's ear and whispered, "This bridge was clearly broken and covered up, and my old lady could smell the mortal odor left on the broken rope from eight hundred miles away... "
"Then you are so close to me, are you afraid of killing you?"
"You're different." Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fuyao stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Ziyao's face, "Grandma Yaoxian likes such a cute little tender bun like you."
Zhang Ziyao had goose bumps all over his body, as if he saw a poisonous snake hissing and spitting apricots at him with its fangs bared.
"Little fool, don't blame Grandma Yaoxian for not reminding you, there is no other way around here, and those little brother guards will go in vain." Fuyao rubbed up again as if he had no bones, and lazily said, "You That weird mother looks very anxious to rush to the city of the living dead——if you say something nice, Grandma Yaoxian will be merciful and find the bird sisters to build a cloud bridge to see you off A journey... just like this, you owe Grandma Yaoxian a great favor."
As soon as Fuyao finished speaking, as if to verify her statement, a bird twittered from a branch and landed on her shoulder, tilting its head and looking at Zhang Ziyao; Fuyao himself also smiled, looking at Zhang Ziyao with spring eyes—
However, before she could continue coaxing her with words, someone lightly poked her smooth forehead with a finger.
"The desire to express is so strong. At the beginning, it might as well be my grandma. If you want to be a maid, you will look like a maid," Zhang Ziyao said, "Stay alone."
After saying that, the young man turned and walked away, came to Lou Hen and said something to him in a low voice—on the contrary, Fuyao, who had always talked a lot, seemed to be really stunned this time, standing there silent for a long time, looking not far away After seeing the boy's back for a while, she raised her head and touched her forehead, showing a fresh expression.
In no time.
All the carriages in front of the cliff moved away, and a soldier came out from behind the carriage holding a roll of seemingly extremely thick rice paper. A long strip of pale yellow rice paper stretched out from people's feet like a carpet... and At the same time, the young man with the gilt pen hanging on his waist also came to stand firm in front of the drawing paper, took off the gilt pen, turned around and took the ink from the hand of the guard who was holding the ink cartridge——
Crooked ink traces appear on the rice paper, and the frizzy appearance is a bit like the rope of a broken bridge not far away. The boy draws from one end of the rice paper to the other, until he reaches the edge of the cliff, without stopping , the gilt pen in his hand swept out of the painting, and a surprising scene appeared - not only did the ink not disappear, but it seemed to find the place where the pen was written in the air, and the ink appeared outside the drawing paper out of thin air...
The ink blots spread, blurred at first, and gradually became clearer in the end.
The boy did the same thing on the other side of the paper.
After a while, two zigzag lines appeared in midair out of thin air.The young man wrote a few pens between the two lines again, and Zhang Ziyao carefully stepped on a crooked board that seemed to be straddled between two ropes. After stepping on it, he let out a long breath——
The people standing on the edge of the cliff looked up and down, watching the young man paint a piece of rope and a piece of wood, from the edge of the cliff to the top of the cliff, and move a place a little bit—about half an hour later, that The bridge was drawn little by little, and extending from the foot of the building mark standing on the cliff side, is a crooked, seemingly crude ink bridge!
Fuyao covered her lips and smiled lightly: "The painting is really ugly."
At this time, Zhang Ziyao had already stood up, wiped off his sweat, jumped forward lightly and landed on the flat ground, then turned around, and waved at the people on the other side of the cliff—people cheered and got on their horses, a The soldier started first, carefully riding his mount onto the crude ink bridge. After carefully observing for a while, he said loudly and excitedly: "Yes, yes! Really! You see, I didn't fall off! "
When the voice came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go happily...
Fuyao glanced at Yuan Shi who was also boarding the carriage not far away, his gaze paused between her neck and neck, his eyeballs rolled around in his eye sockets, then he looked away, and climbed into the carriage she was using just now, Sitting firmly in the car, I just remembered something and opened the curtain, and said coquettishly to the unknown thing outside the window: "It's gone, didn't you see how capable that little fool is to draw a bridge alive? "
As soon as Fuyao finished speaking, a large flock of birds chirped, fluttering their wings and chirping from the woods to the sky——
The carriage swayed and moved forward slowly, and the whole convoy drove slowly onto the simple ink bridge...
There is no sad city border.
In the tent, the little girl was lying on the bed with her bare feet, staring intently at the bronze mirror in front of her. In the bronze mirror, there was a faint picture of a mighty convoy passing Moqiao. Hi, jumped up from the bed, danced and said——
"Mother? Mother! They are coming! They are coming! People from the court, and Aunt Yuan, they are coming from the bridge!"
As soon as the words fell, the tent was hastily lifted from the outside, a woman quickly walked into the tent, snatched the bronze mirror from the excited little girl's hand, and angrily said: "Don't touch this bronze mirror! Why don’t you listen to it and play it secretly—who came outside, what does it have to do with you? See how energetic you are, otherwise save food and don’t eat tonight!”
The woman's sudden anger made the little girl's smile stiff, and she froze in place on the spot.
She watched the angry woman snatch away the mirror, and turned back out of the tent without looking back... For a long time, she lowered her head in disappointment, looked at the bloodstains on her fingers scraped by the sharp edge of the bronze mirror, and remained silent for a while , completely lost the previous lively joy.
