Crown Sword

Shuang Li saw that he was absent-minded, and hurriedly asked: "Master...Pavilion Master, are you worried about Shi Min and Brother Zhou?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken, she panicked as if her foot was stepping on the air, twisted her clothes and tried to encourage: " Believe me, I have always been very accurate in my words, and this trip will be safe and sound, not a lot! Hehe, they all said that I..."

Shi Ang looked back, quietly tucking his arms into his sleeves, pretending nothing happened.

Shuang Li's mood improved, and she smirked while holding her chin: "...say I'm lucky and lucky."

Shi Ang untied the piano, put it lightly on his knees, and slowly rolled over the seven strings with his fingertips, making two deep and distant scattered sounds, shattering the sparkling light and Xiao Xiaomu leaves.Let's hear him speak softly: "This situation and this scene remind me of when I was young, I once drifted across the reed sea with a friend in a starry night boat."

Shuang Li couldn't wait to ask: "Isn't it wonderful?"

"No," Shi Ang shook his head slightly, hissed and sighed, "I was also chased and jumped into the river, very embarrassing."

Jump into the river?Embarrassed?

Shuang Li's heart was overwhelmed, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that these two words had something to do with Shi Ang. In her heart, that person should be calm and calm all the time.For a moment, her willfulness made her want to laugh, but her admiration made her suspicious again. She lowered her head, not knowing how to reply, and even uncharacteristically wanted to plug her ears.

But she didn't raise her arms, the breeze was blowing gently on her face, and when she turned her head, Shi Ang's hair brushed her cheeks, her face burned, she held it with her cold hands, and suddenly felt so real——

The Pavilion Master whom she has been thinking about is by her side!

The barriers were broken and the distance was shortened. It turned out that the lofty and mighty Master of the Emperor Shige Pavilion had something he couldn't do, and he just happened to meet him. Just this, he was far superior to the people in the world.

Just when she was secretly sweet, Shi Ang continued on his own: "Human nature, the more unpleasant things are, the more clearly we remember them."

"No, no, no, no!" Shuang Li waved his hands again and again, "People should think good things and not bad things. Pavilion Master, look at me, I'm the best example. In the past... people always said that I was carefree all day long, Live heartlessly." She pushed her hands back, her eyes followed the solitary duck wading in the water, and finally she didn't have to pretend to be a lady, and she smiled comfortably, "I'm really happy, with Emperor Shige Pavilion masters are in the same boat, even if they are hunted down, it’s not that bad, it’s enough for me to brag about for a lifetime!”

Shi Ang lowered his eyes: "Pavilion Master, he is just an ordinary person among all living beings."

Shuang Li rubbed her hands together and buried her head deeper than him: "Guo Qian, Guo..."

Shi Ang interrupted her, closed his eyes, and said seriously: "What I mean is, you are still young, don't have too much illusion about a person, there is no gold, and no one is perfect."

Shuang Li was puzzled: "Then... have you done anything evil?"

"Speaking evil is not evil, meaning good and doing evil, good and evil come from the same source, do you understand?" Shi Ang opened his eyes, and wanted to reach out to rub the top of the little girl's hair, but for some reason, he met the pair of black and white eyes. There was a trace of sadness in those clear eyes.With his hands frozen in the air, he turned his face away, with mixed feelings: "...I used someone before, without her knowing."

Shuang Li opened his mouth, but instead excused him: "Hey, you smart people are not called taking advantage of it, it's justified."

Shi Ang was speechless: "Sure enough, he is still a child."

Shuang Li was embarrassed, smiled and scratched her head, and said again: "Then will you tell her? Tell her the truth." She thought that if Shi Ang said yes, maybe there was something else hidden, then her sophistry would not be sophistry , I can live with my conscience.

But Shi Ang obviously didn't do what she expected, and there was no leeway in his tone: "No, the less you know, the happier you will be."

Not reconciled, Shuangli sharpened her head and thought hard, and wanted to argue a few more words: "Let's make a bet, just bet, she won't be angry if she finds out."

Shi Ang's face that has not changed for thousands of years finally added a wave of waves, and he asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Because you were still thinking about her just now, you want her to be happy, don't you? I don't think it's an act, I can feel the sincerity." Covering up in panic, the firmer your heart is, the more frank your explanation, "And as I said, a smart person is not called taking advantage, but a person who can only take advantage of others is not called a smart person, but an unscrupulous villain. A villain's use is to sacrifice others. Seeking for oneself, and the use of smart people, there are reasons for things, justifiable circumstances, taking into account the overall situation, if you have to make a choice, it must be the best choice."

Shi Ang's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "...Sure enough, he is still a child."

Shuang Li defended: "Auntie... this girl is already old enough, she is no longer a child!"

Shi Ang didn't want to fight any more, he just smiled and said, "You can say such things and make such assumptions, it's only because you haven't encountered a moment where you can't make a decision."

At this time, a boat approached, with a harp emblem erected on the bow, it was a disciple of Dishige who went to another town to lobby with the people of Gongshu's house after the reed sea hit the boat that day.

What is rare is that Liu Zikuo is also among them.

"Grandma Shuangli, you...you look like a female ghost who just crawled out of the weeds..." The scholar who was excellent at arithmetic could be seen to be straightforward, and his mouth couldn't be sweet.

Shuang Li was so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to jump up and grab his ears, but because Shi Ang was by her side, she just quietly kicked his calf and said, "I told you not to call me Auntie, but to call me Aunt Shen... ...Forget it, you should call me Shuangli, don't gossip about Jinyang!"

Due to his prestige, the big man nodded his head.

Only then did Shuang Li pat him on the shoulder in satisfaction, then cast a cautious glance at Shi Ang, took advantage of the situation to draw him aside, and asked, "Didn't you leave with the people from the Gongshu clan? Ask, how have you lived these years, how did you go on the same road with them?"

Liu Zikuo said truthfully: "After leaving Jinyang, I went to Que'er Mountain as promised, but I couldn't wait for you, so I wanted to go out to inquire about it. Later, the road was rough, and it was all due to the righteousness of the people in Gongshu Mansion. They Hearing that I am good at arithmetic, he invited me to study siege equipment together, and I have been living in Wu County for these years."

Seeing that he didn't have a single strand of hair missing, Shuang Li finally felt relieved, raised his elbow and bumped him on the arm: "You can also apply what you've learned. What else?"

"There are other things you don't know. The master of the Gongshu Mansion, Shuqin, created a new type of city defense fortification through the ancestral "Tianshupu", but he is not sure how effective it will be. You know, since Wang Gong raised his troops, the warlords in various places have separatist regimes. The situation is very delicate, whoever chooses to cooperate may cause a mess, and the Patriarch cannot make a decision, so he sent someone to the Emperor's Pavilion to ventilate." Liu Zikuo spoke softly, showing a bit of grievance, "I heard that you want to Lobbying Fang Zhen, no, we recommended ourselves to go there, but on the way to Hongnong, we heard that the county land had been lost, so we had to rush back, and we didn’t expect to meet you.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shuangli to answer, Liu Zikuo walked quickly to Shi Ang, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "The mere step ahead is to spread the word. Lead the army and go straight to Luoyang!"

"I also ask Master Shige to find a way to save the people of Luoyang!"

Chang'an, Mingguang Palace.

The palace built to welcome the gods and serve the gods, the lights in the palace are always bright, like the fairyland Danqiu in the eternal night, the jackdaws in the palace are separated from the branches, and the shadows are bleak.The man in white stood on the ridge of the roof, slung the long knife back to his waist, twisted his wristband, and said, "How does it feel to be back here?"

Chutong glanced at the direction of Weiyang Palace, with a stern expression on his face: "It would be better if all the people who occupied the magpie's nest died."

Dove occupying the magpie's nest is just a satire that his surname Yao occupied the Fu family's country.

The man in white let out a breath of air: "You really dare to say it."

Chutong retorted: "You dare to use it if you don't."

After a moment of silence, the man in white said in a deep voice: "It's not useful, it's just cooperation. For you, there is only one person in this world who can be motivated." He had greedily thought of collecting the "mustard dust net" Returning to his subordinates, but forcing his head down and refusing to drink water, it is more convenient to benefit from each other than hard work, so he was relieved, but he refused to let go of his arrogance, "What is so good about Fu Jian, it is worth your hard work for the past now ?”

Chutong also has a strange temper, she didn't want to explain, she just squinted and said dryly: "You don't understand, that's why I say you are pathetic."

"Is it sad? This is the truth." The man in white took advantage of the terrain to look at the nine cities of Chang'an, and finally landed on the burnt-down Qingboxuan attic, laughing at himself.Although the words are a bit embarrassing, he is more appreciative of the people in "Mustard Seeds": "The assassination of me has been settled, and I will not interfere in this matter, but you don't want to stay behind, and don't delay the business .”

Chutong raised his chin: "Don't worry, there won't be another miss."

The man in white shrugged his shoulders, laughed at their obsession and perseverance, and said casually: "The Qian family did one thing right. If the person you tried so hard to save died in Chang'an, cleanly and thoroughly, you would You don't have to be held back by this, and you won't be held seven inches by me."

Chutong's eyes filled with sadness: "Who can count?"

The Chang'an government has guarded the business road for a long time. If they wanted to cover it up and escaped to the ancient tea-horse road in the mountains, they would have a good chance of survival. The timing was delayed, and finally relying on the self-destruction of the Tianshu Hall to earn a little chance of dying.

For Jiezi, they have lost their former leader forever, the "feather general" Zong Pinglu who sat upright in the hall and was in charge of confidential documents.

Those who survived swore that they would never die with the Qian family, and even left behind all the secrets of the Qian family that they tried their best to collect in the past, and spread them out. It can be said that after Yao Chang founded the country, the Chang'an government struggled, mostly because of this.

The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is behind.

It was precisely because of these secrets that the white-clothed man next to Jiezi followed the vines and broke into the inside, half of coercion, half of restraint.

"Yeah, who can count it?" The man in white repeated his words, his smile deepened, and he stretched out his sleeves and shouted, "Since it's God's decision, leave everything to God!"

"Come on! It's time to close the net!"

The man in white drew out his magical knife and pointed forward. In the fierce wind, Chu Tong turned his head in panic, vaguely seeing the demeanor of Qin Tianwang Fu Jian in a trance.

It's a pity that there is only form but no spirit.

This person in front of him is very lonely, no matter how powerful he is, he is only fighting alone. Such a person will never understand what kind of iron bucket circle the "six-star general" was in his prime at the time, with a solid friendship!
