Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

It was cold and rainy at night, and there were not many lanterns hanging in the corridor. The disciples all looked worried, and they all huddled together and sighed.

They have been guarding for a day and a night. In fact, everyone is a little tired, but this time such a big thing happened, they don't know the details of the cause, so they can only continue to wait, and dare not ask Man Jiangxue. In addition, Ji Wanshu came halfway, and she didn't know the truth, so the disciples couldn't ask.

Everyone only knew that they fell asleep at night, and Man Jiangxue hurried back with Yin Qiu, who was seriously injured, when it was approaching dawn. The disciples were shocked and bewildered. It didn't take long before they realized that Meng Jing had disappeared, and no one could be found anywhere. Until then, there was no news, so the disciples were still in a daze and couldn't figure it out at all. clear the situation.

Everyone waited for a while, and after a while, Bai Ling braved the heavy rain and walked over from the courtyard. The disciples hurriedly cast inquiries at her. Bai Ling looked at the crowd, and finally shook his head at Ji Wanshu.

"The night before yesterday, my uncle and I went to the Nine Immortals Hall. I didn't know when the uncle left. I was still sleeping in the guest room of the Nine Immortals Hall. The next day I was told that the uncle left at night I came back in a hurry, only then did I know that such a big thing happened, and I also heard that Meng Jing disappeared suddenly. I just went to the government office for a while, but the official said that no one had posted the notice yet, and I don’t know where he went .”

Ji Wanshu thought for a moment, and replied: "I'm just afraid that he will encounter some dangers. That kid doesn't know how to kung fu. If he falls into the hands of the villains, he will only die. Yin Qiu has his uncle to take care of him. It's not good for you to wait like this." The solution is to work harder, put on the coir raincoat and look for it."

The disciples responded one by one, and they were not so anxious when they had something to do, so they retreated to their rooms to change clothes, planning to look for Meng Jing's trace overnight.

Bai Ling was in a hurry all day and all night, fearing that something would happen to Yin Qiu, now he heard Ji Wanshu say that he had saved his life, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe senior sister can ask Wen Zhaoyu," Bai Ling suggested, "She participated in the whole process and came to help save people. She must know what happened."

Ji Wanshu glanced at the East Wing across the corridor, and said after a while, "That's fine."

Bai Ling handed her the lantern in his hand, and Ji Wanshu took the lantern and walked towards the east wing. The wooden door was locked from the outside, and the two windows were sealed. Several disciples guarded the outside with swords. Those who didn't know thought that some important criminals were being held inside.

Ji Wanshu signaled the disciples to keep silent with her eyes, took the key and opened the lock, pushed the door, and saw the figure in the room, she was not in a hurry to go in.

The candles in the room were flickering, and it was not bright. On the bed behind the bead curtain, Wen Zhaoyu lay with his eyes closed, his brows slightly frowned, as if he was not sleeping peacefully.

"Have you given her the medicine?" Ji Wanshu stood by the door and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but she didn't let us help, so we untied her and let her take the medicine by herself." A disciple replied.

There was a pile of wet and dirty clothes on the floor inside, and there were a lot of blood-stained bandages scattered around it. Ji Wanshu glanced twice, and his eyes dimmed unconsciously.

The blood on the bandage was all thanks to her.

We can only blame Wen Chaoyu for being too unlucky. As soon as Ji Wanshu came, Yin Qiu was injured, there were people in black and followers of the Ziwei sect. In such a situation, she didn't know the situation, so she naturally regarded Wen Chaoyu as the culprit The last time the two met was because Wen Chaoyu robbed Yin Qiu to the Ziwei Sect. Ji Wanshu didn't expect to see her again after five years of retreat, and she and Yin Qiu got together again. After moving their hands, the two fought in the bamboo forest.

Don't say that Ji Wanshu's skills have increased greatly now, which is far different from five years ago. In addition, Wen Chaoyu's true energy was exhausted that night, and he could hardly hold on. Facing Ji Wanshu's strong attack Under the circumstances, Wen Chaoyu had to run for her life, and she knew very well that Ji Wanshu must have misunderstood her, but she had no time to explain, so she got up from the ground and ran desperately, but Ji Wanshu caught her within two steps After going back, he was beaten up before telling Ji Wanshu the truth, claiming that he did not harm Yin Qiu, but came to save her.

Ji Wanshu was so angry at the time, and saw that she hadn't suffered any injuries at first, but she was injured in her own hand. More importantly, she never thought that Wen Chaoyu couldn't even handle her few tricks. Ji Wanshu After being bored for a while, he said angrily: "Then you didn't say it earlier!"

Wen Chaoyu was also angry, and scolded her: "You bastard! You beat me up as soon as we met, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!"

"Who told you to be a member of the Ziwei sect!" Ji Wanshu couldn't hold back his face for a while, and said coldly, "The Ziwei sect is damned, there is no good thing, and you are the same!"

"Then you kill me!" Wen Chaoyu was as angry as she was, "I am the protector of the Ziwei sect, the worst of the bad! Why didn't you kill me with one sword!"

Ji Wanshu snorted coldly, held Wen Chaoyu in his hands, and said through gritted teeth: "It would be too cheap to kill you, and you don't even think about going anywhere until the matter is cleared up!"

Then Wen Chaoyu was tied up, and locked in the room directly after returning.

Yin Qiu was injured like that, and the situation was dangerous. Ji Wanshu had no time to care about Wen Chaoyu's life and death. Of course, she was just exhausted. In fact, she was not injured, and nothing happened. Ji Wanshu told his disciples to keep an eye on her. After her, she followed Man Jiangxue busy in and out, and it was only at this moment that Bai Ling reminded her to come and have a look at her.

The bead curtain was blown wildly by the wind, making a crisp sound, and it seemed a little noisy in the sound of rain. Ji Wanshu stood at the door for a long time, and finally went inside to hang up the bead curtain.

She didn't approach Wen Zhaoyu, but just stood not far away and looked at her.

It has been five years, such a long time, counting the sunrise and sunset, but the person she has been thinking about day and night is right in front of her eyes, but she dare not go over and take a closer look at her.

Ji Wanshu couldn't even tell why.

It seems that the distance between her and Wen Zhaoyu has not been shortened by the five years of separation, but has become farther away invisibly.

And when they reunited after so many years, Wen Chaoyu's first reaction when he saw her was still to run away, and he refused to even explain to himself, so he had to be embarrassed before speaking coyly.

Ji Wanshu couldn't figure it out.

What is she running from?

Or, did she really not want to see herself like that?

In the past few years of her retreat, this person must be unrestrained and happy, without her chasing and stalking her, she must be at ease.

With a faint curve on his lips, Ji Wanshu smiled self-deprecatingly.

As long as Wen Zhaoyu didn't leave the Ziwei Cult for a day, she wouldn't look her in the face for a day. In Wen Zhaoyu's heart, she would always be an enemy, and they would never get along as peacefully as they did many years ago.

But since she has fallen into her hands this time, don't even think about running away, and don't even think about going back to the Ziwei sect.

"Keep an eye on her," Ji Wanshu turned and walked to the door with a sullen face, "If anyone dares to rescue her, no matter who it is, they will be shot to death."

Seeing that her complexion was not good and her tone was extremely cold, the disciples did not dare to say more and responded one after another.

"Also," Ji Wanshu stretched out his hand to close the door, and then locked it again, "Go ahead, there is a Ziwei believer named Xue Tan, he is Wen Chaoyu's confidant, and his guardian is trapped here, he will definitely not Leaving Weicheng easily, you arrest him as soon as possible, I have something to ask."

"Yes, Senior Sister." The disciples responded in unison.

Ji Wanshu gave a "hmm" and started to walk through the corridor. She went down the steps and stepped into the rain, but she suddenly looked back and said, "The last thing is to take good care of people and don't treat them harshly. She You can ask for anything, but you can't let her go, you have to understand," she paused deliberately when she said this, "she is my honored guest, not a prisoner."

·

Dawn was about to break, and the sound of galloping horseshoes sounded outside, as if it was very close, the noise was endless, and the trembling bed was trembling.

Meng Jing was awakened by the sound, she opened her eyes bewilderedly, looked at the completely unfamiliar room, and was stunned for a long time before regaining her senses.

There was no one else in the room, soft veils were hung everywhere, and good-smelling incense was lit. At a glance, the room was very elegantly furnished, like a girl's boudoir.

The memory still stayed on that dangerous night, and the lingering pain in her heart reminded Meng Jing that it was not a nightmare. With a pale face, she stared at the bed curtain above and recalled the scene at that time, clearly remembering that the man in black put The point of the sword pierced into her chest, but she had no memory of what happened after that.

What the man in black said was still echoing in my ears. Along with those cruel words, the scene before the death of parents also emerged before my eyes. Meng Jing lay motionless, two lines of hot tears came out of her eyes, wet pillowcase.

It turned out that for so many years, she didn't even understand the real culprit who killed her parents. She always thought it was the Ziwei Sect, and she persisted in the idea of ​​seeking revenge from the Ziwei Sect until today.Even though she suffers from a heart condition and cannot practice martial arts, she always remembers what Yin Qiu told her in the library that year, as long as she has the heart, even if she doesn't have the kung fu, she can take revenge.So she studied so hard and studied medicine so hard, but she didn't want to make herself a useless person. Even if she couldn't follow her classmates to fight the enemy bravely, but she stayed behind and healed their injuries, that was a cry. force.

She is not useless, she is useful.

Because of this obsession, in the past years, she wrote down the three words Ziweijiao and hung them in a place where she could see them at a glance. Whenever she felt tired, negative, or dreamed of her father at night Mother, she will use those three words to remind herself: You still have the revenge of your parents, you have no right to slack off, and you have no right to complain about suffering and tiredness.

But now, those three words suddenly became a joke. The joke came so unexpectedly that it cruelly overturned everything in her past.

Tears slid down the corners of her eyes and moistened the hair on the side of her ears. Meng Jing shed tears silently. All the unspeakable grief was hidden under the calm surface. She listened to the sound of horseshoes outside the house, but it was too late. Thinking about where she is now and how she survived, she silently endured the pain and slowly closed her eyes.

About half an hour later, the long-lasting sound of horseshoes gradually stopped. Meng Jing was exhausted physically and mentally, and when she was drowsy, she heard a loud voice outside the door saying: "This Zhuangzi is too small. Even There isn’t even a racecourse for horse racing, so I’ll change to a bigger one another day, and I’m so annoyed that I haven’t had a good time running here.”

Then came the soft and soothing voices of all the maids. It seemed that many people came outside in an instant, and their footsteps were very chaotic.Meng Jing had a splitting headache, and the wound on her chest tortured her all the time.She couldn't move, so she could only half-open her eyes, and saw that the door was pushed open, and a luxuriously dressed girl with a riding whip swaggered in, followed by a group of maids.

"Yo, wake up." The girl's appearance was not outstanding, but her facial features were quite remarkable, and there was an inherent arrogance in her brows. She hurriedly walked to the bed with her horsewhip in her hand, and looked down. He gave Meng Jing a few glances.

"Didn't you say that you were in a coma for more than ten days before you woke up? Why did you wake up in less than three days? Then the doctor deceived me?"

A maid brought clean water and a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Miss, you have been running around the yard for so long, even the dead will be woken up by you."

Duan Ning glanced at her, and said impatiently: "This is the first time for me to come to Cang County to bring goods in person. How did I know that my father has set up such a small village here? This is also the territory of the Ziwei Sect. In Yao Dingcheng, people are running around all over the street, wake up and wake up, isn't that good?" She said, washed her face roughly, looked at Meng Jing and said, "Hey, can you talk? If you can, just say, You can't just blink."

Against the skylight cast outside the door, Meng Jing's pierced eyes were astringent, but this did not prevent her from seeing clearly who was standing in front of her.Meng Jing looked surprised, and said hoarsely, "Miss Duan...?"

"That's right, it's me," Duan Ning grinned, "It's really a fate to meet you from thousands of miles away. Now I have become your savior. How will you repay me?"

It turned out that the Duan family had discussed the grain business with the rice merchants in Weicheng a month ago, and after the refugee incident in Yao Dingcheng, Duan Ning has been pestering Master Duan to enter the Yunhua Palace, wanting to follow Yin Qiu and the others to act chivalrously. Acting righteously, wandering the rivers and lakes, but Master Duan was determined and did not agree. He only said that if she behaved well, there would be room for discussion in the future.

But as for how to perform well, the old man didn't say clearly, it happened that the caravan was coming to Weicheng this time, so Duan Ning went out and ran this time in person, wanting to earn a performance, but he didn't expect that he had just entered the city gate that night When Meng Jing was chased and killed by the man in black, she knocked him unconscious with the wine jar, and picked up Meng Jing. The caravan came to Cang County, and she brought Meng Jing to Here comes the place.

She didn't know that people from Yunhua Palace had also arrived in Weicheng, if she knew, she would naturally return them first.

After listening to Duan Ning's eloquent narration, Meng Jing didn't seem very happy, she just said indifferently: "Thank you."

"I don't like to thank you verbally, you have to tell me how to repay me." Duan Ning teased, pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed.

Meng Jing's tears were still wet, and she didn't answer after listening to these words.

Duan Ning saw that her eyes were red and the pillow towel was still wet, so he knew she must have cried a lot, so he said, "Men don't flick their tears easily, why are you pissing on horses? It is inevitable to experience such things, either you kill me, or I kill you, you kill my father, I will kill your father in turn, it is not unusual."

She wiped the used handkerchief on Meng Jing's face indiscriminately, and comforted her: "Since there is still life left, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. When you can get out of bed, here, come out." Walking back from this courtyard is the firewood house, the beast that wants to kill you is still locked up inside, so let’s go over and stab him with a sword.”

Meng Jing paused, looked up at Duan Ning and said, "Did you capture him alive?"

Duan Ning took the tea handed by the maid and drank it clean, and said, "You can't be captured alive? He talked a lot of nonsense that night, and I heard all of it. Since he is the murderer who killed your parents, he deserves to die here." In your hands, I wanted to chop him off, but I didn't have the urge to deal with it. I'll leave it to you to solve it yourself. Besides, he is still from your Yunhua Palace, so it's not easy for me to do it. If you ask for something, It counts as my meritorious deeds."

Hearing that the man in black was still alive, a gleam of light finally rekindled in Meng Jing's eyes. She was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "...I didn't know you were so measured before."

Duan Ning first smiled, feeling that she was praising himself, and then felt something was wrong after laughing: "What do you mean? I have always been very measured! You have only dealt with me a few times, and you know who I am?"

Meng Jing sighed, her mood was rather complicated, but when Duan Ning said that they were currently in Cang County, she thought of Yin Qiulai for a moment, and quickly asked, "Is there any news from Weicheng these few days?"

Duan Ning said: "Which news are you referring to? I'm just a food delivery person, and I don't have contact with others, but I haven't heard anything."

If there is no movement, maybe it is a good thing?

Meng Jing fell silent again.

"It is said that you have been in a coma for the past two days and talked a lot in your sleep." Duan Ning looked at Meng Jing, "In addition to calling for your parents, you have been calling Yin Qiu all the time. Do you want to ask about her?"

Meng Jing was startled, frowned and said, "I called Yin Qiu's name...?"

Duan Ning nodded: "It's like calling a soul. I knew you two had a good relationship in Yao Dingcheng before, but I didn't expect it to be this good." After speaking, she laughed maliciously, "Is it interesting to others?"

Meng Jing glanced at her, turned her head away, and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't answer his question, Duan Ning curled his lips and said, "In this way, Yin Qiu should be in Weicheng, which means that your people from Yunhua Palace are also there, so I'll send them a message. Just say you're here with me?"

Meng Jing was extremely tired, so she simply said "Yes".

"Okay, then you can rest, wake up and scream," Duan Ning said, "You have to drink medicine and eat, and there is that beast waiting for you to clean up, don't think about it, take good care of yourself, I will wait It's up to you to answer me."

Meng Jing gave a soft "hmm".

Duan Ning looked at her again, then stood up and led the maids back out.

The figures left one after another, and the room was quiet again. Meng Jing was stunned for a while, and then fell asleep in a drowsy state not long after.

Duan Ning came out of the courtyard, stopped after thinking for a while, and told the maids behind him: "Listen to something, since the one inside is awake, if it's time for her to change her medicine, you can send her her medicine." Just go in, don't wait by the side, understand?"

Several maids responded quickly, and immediately responded: "Miss, don't worry, the servants understand."
