Breaking through the sky again

On a warm day and spring breeze, a carriage galloped on the avenue outside the Chengguan.

The driver of the car wore a gauze cap and a blue shirt, with a vigorous figure and a heroic spirit.He held the rein in his left hand and the whip in his right, and shouting, drove the horse into the air.

Although it is an official road, it is not a flat terrain. When encountering some bumps and turns, the carriage bumped, as if it was about to fly, but he sat lightly and steadily on the shaft, as if his butt was stuck to it , and it seems that it was originally integrated with the carriage.

A woman in bright clothes in the carriage was not as calm as he was. She was dangling to and fro in a panic, and she insisted on freeing up her hands to save the dangling golden hairpin on her head. Like a Lantern Festival being processed in a dustpan.

"Xiuxiu! Xiuxiu! Slow down...slow down! Ah! Stop...Ah! Are you crazy...or the horse is crazy...Oops..." With a bang, "Yuan Xiao" knocked his head on the wall again.

A ten-year-old child next to her was exactly the opposite of her wishes. Feeling the speeding carriage, his eyebrows flew up to the top of his head with excitement, and his small eyes shone on his round face. He also yelled loudly: "Don't stop—— Hurry up! Hurry up! Mother! Come on! Oh——hahaha, it's really fun!"

A plump beautiful woman hugged him firmly in her arms, and she didn't forget to protect his head with her hands when the two jumped up. Occasionally, she couldn't help but exclaim once or twice, but seeing the child happy , then giggled again, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

The person dressed as a scholar closest to the car door was the quietest. His hands were tightly grasping the wooden door of the car door, so hard that his knuckles turned white, and his face was the same color.The man twisted his neck, stared nervously at the back of the driver at the door and the road ahead through the curtain that was blown up by the wind, and closed his eyes from time to time when he was frightened, but his mouth was tightly pursed. , refused to make a sound.

After running for more than ten miles in one breath, Xiu Xiucai controlled the carriage and slowed down slowly.

Liu Fei opened the curtains, stretched out half of his head to look around, and asked strangely, "Hey? Where are people? Where did everyone go?"

Ru Yifeng's four mothers all laughed,

"Since we left the city gate, there are not so many people on the road."

"Master Liu, you are confused, do you think we are in the bustling capital?"

But Xiuxiu let out a cry, and said with a smile: "Just now I started running too fast on a whim, and the people behind didn't know how far they were left behind. Let's go slowly and wait for them." Saying that, she loosened the reins even more. The chariots and horses walked slowly.

There is another small hill ahead. There is a tea shed next to the post road at the mountain pass. It looks like a grandparent and grandson. There are no guests at the moment. The two are facing the direction of the road, looking forward to it.Seeing Xiuxiu and the others' carriage approaching, the young guy hurried up to welcome the guests, "Guests, come have a bowl of tea and rest. We still have fodder here, so we can help you feed your horses."

After running for a long distance, the horse also needed to rest, and they had to wait for the family members who fell behind, so they got out of the car happily, chatting and laughing and walked over to sit around the table.The old man with a gray beard hunched over and led the horse to feed him.

After a while the buddy set up the bowls and brought the tea to brew.Ru Yi saw the rare cleanness of the teapot, without any tea stains, stroking her hair and smiling at him: "My little brother, your teapot is so clean, it's like new."

"Ah... yes, it's clean, it's clean... Actually it's new. The one I used before was accidentally broken yesterday, and I just replaced this one today, haha..." The guy laughed, and carefully aimed at Xiuxiu, "Not only the teapot It's clean, our tea is also fragrant, you guys will know after a taste." As he spoke, he filled the tea bowl, bowed his head and stretched out his hand as a gesture of asking for a taste.

Xiuxiu lowered her head to look into the tea bowl, and the stretched pointed leaves swirled in the amber tea, "Well, good tea," she replied, and waved her hand casually, "Go and do your work, You don't need to wait here."

"Yes, yes..." The boy agreed and backed away, went to tidy up by the stove, but peeked here from time to time.

The heat rose from the tea bowl, and was blown on the face by a gust of spring breeze, um, it was indeed quite fragrant.Xiuxiu suddenly looked into Xiaobao's eyes and said loudly: "Xiaobao, your Uncle Liu is not in good health, it's very windy here, take him to rest in the carriage."

"Oh! Okay!" Xiaobao nodded obediently, jumped up from the stool with a sway of his legs, and grabbed Liu Fei's arm, "Uncle Liu, let's go, let's go to the carriage."

"Hey, what are you doing? I still want to drink tea." Liu Fei was reluctant, but he had already picked up the fan that had just been placed on the table with one hand.

"The tea is still hot, so I can't drink it. I'll bring it to you later." Xiuxiu patted the back of Liu Fei's hand lightly, and Liu Fei was taken away by Xiao Bao smoothly.

The remaining three chatted and drank tea to quench their thirst. After a while, they all lay down on the table.

The grandparent and grandson looked at each other, then tiptoed over and tentatively called out: "Guest officer, guest officer?" The three of them seemed to be asleep, and no one answered.The old man boldly pushed Xiuxiu's shoulder, and Xiuxiu's body limply leaned to the side, revealing half of her face with her eyes closed.He breathed a sigh of relief, his back suddenly stopped, and he looked at his "grandson" and smiled mischievously.

The young man turned his head and put his hands around his mouth, and shouted in the direction of the nearby woods: "Master—come out, it's done!"

The old man poked him, "Hey, there are two more in the carriage."

The young man glanced at the carriage, saw no movement, and said nonchalantly, "A child, a fool, what are you afraid of?"

While talking, two people came out of the woods, the first one was still young, dressed in brocade clothes, with a sword inlaid with gold and jade hanging from his waist, and the one behind him was dressed in strong clothes, like a warrior guarding the house.

Seeing the "Young Master" approaching in a hurry, the guy from the tea stand greeted him with a smile on his face, "Young Master, you are so wise, resourceful and resourceful. We have won a big victory this time!", he said as he copied a stool and put it in the open space , and wiped it with his sleeve, "Master, sit down, sit down."

But the young man didn't want to sit down, so he went straight to the table where the three women were lying on their stomachs, looked at this and that, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, everyone said how powerful this Bao Xiuxiu is, and it seems that she is too." It’s really hard to live up to a great reputation, and it’s really disappointing that we got our way so easily!” He said disappointment, but his voice was full of excitement and pride.

The old man who didn't grab the top spot just now hurriedly flattered, "It's not that Bao Xiuxiu is not worthy of the name, it's because you are too good, young master. Think about it, you have been taught by experts this year, and you have experienced in the world, not to mention that you are the only one now. Bao Xiuxiu alone, even if her master is not stupid, the two together are no match for you!"

When Young Master Jinyi heard this, he became even more elated.The martial artist behind him frowned, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master, this is the official road, I'm afraid someone will pass by in a while, it's better to make a quick decision, tie up these people and take them away, and deal with them later. "

"You don't need to be so troublesome." Young Master Jin Yi put away his smile, "It won't take long to kill these people. After I send them to the West Heaven one by one with a sword, we will all go to the capital together and rob the law field to save people!" He said at the same time, While pulling out his saber, the point of the sword pointed directly at Xiuxiu's back heart, and he said bitterly: "Bao Xiuxiu, you put my family in a deep prison, and it is precarious, and you die like this without knowing it, it's cheap for you!" After finishing speaking A long sword stabbed down fiercely.

The sword edge was almost about to pierce Xiuxiu's clothes, when suddenly he heard a shout, the blue figure crouching in front of him suddenly turned around and flew up, the young man in brocade clothes felt blurred in front of his eyes, his wrist was twisted, and the long sword somehow It's not in my hands anymore.Before he could react, he was hit on the chest again, and involuntarily flew out on his back, landing on his back, and fell all over.After the brief shouting, punching and kicking, and the sound of sharp swords piercing through the air, there were several "Ouch". The tip of his sword was already pointed at the tip of his nose.

The sword body is like water, reflecting the sun's light, dazzling and cold.

"do not move!"

The young man in brocade clothes followed the sound and looked up. He was tall and tall, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He looked to the side, and saw that his bodyguard maintained a punching motion, but his body was motionless, obviously his acupoints were tapped, and the two followers were lying on the ground, curled up with their heads in their arms, writhing uncontrollably.Next to them was a round-faced child jumping up and down with a stick in his hand.

"How dare you look down on me, Young Master Bao, and give me a stick!" Xiaobao said and hit them both, and the bodyguards beside him were not spared either.The stick that the child hit on his ass did not constitute any physical harm to him, a martial arts practitioner, but it was extremely insulting, and his face flushed immediately, and he didn't know whether it was from shame or anger.

Liu Fei stood aside with a coil of hemp rope on his arm, with no expression on his face.The two women who were lying on the table had also stood up at some point, they got together, covered their mouths with small fans, whispered, pointed and made fun of.

How can this be a "big victory"?It was clearly a crushing defeat!Young Master Jinyi lamented in his heart, and sat down on the ground slumped.

"Hey, what's your last name? Why did you assassinate me, and you didn't do it?" Xiuxiu turned the long sword in her hand, avoided the edge of the sword, and patted him on the shoulder with the spine of the sword.

Young Master Jinyi closed his eyes, "I've fallen into your hands, kill me if you want, why ask more? I won't tell you either."

Xiuxiu nodded and smiled, "Oh, your life is hanging by a thread but you can resist begging for mercy, and you still look like a man. But you don't distinguish between good and evil, you're just a tyrannical fool. Besides, if you don't open your mouth, you think I'm just Don't know who you are?"

Young Master Jinyi's eyelids trembled, he swallowed, and remained silent.

"Liang Zuo, the servant of the household department, colluded with local corrupt officials, accepted bribes, embezzled food and salaries, and deceived the Holy One. He was ordered to confiscate his family's property, and his family was sent to prison to be sentenced, but one of his youngest sons was studying abroad and became the only fish that slipped through the net. That The young master's name is Liang...what's the matter with Liang?" Xiuxiu couldn't remember for a while, and got stuck.

"Liang Siqi!" A voice checked and made up for the omissions in time.

"Yes, that's the name!" Xiuxiu patted her head.She was so engrossed in this question that she didn't notice that there was something wrong with the name coming out of Liu Fei's mouth.

Young Master Jinyi suddenly opened his eyes, "You, do you recognize me?"—I didn't expect him to be famous all over the world!Young Master Jin Yi couldn't help being a little excited.

This is already tantamount to self-identification.Xiuxiu swung her sword, put the long sword behind her back, took a step back, looked at him with a smile and didn't answer.

"Oh! Liang Siqi, it should be called Liang Buqi, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Ru Yi joked.

"I'm a corrupt official, you bastard." Feng Siniang echoed.

"Okay! Don't talk about anything else. Xiaobao, take the rope and tie up these people and send them to the officials." Xiuxiu didn't look back, stretched her hand back, took the hemp rope that Liu Fei handed over silently, and shook Liang Siqi After a while, "Aren't you going to enter the capital? I'll send you a ride. But it's not about robbing the court, it's going to the court."

Xiaobao, Ru Yifeng Siniang, helped Xiuxiu tie up the prisoners. It was the first time for Ru Yifeng Siniang to do this job, and she was afraid that the tying would not be firm enough, and they would be wrapped like zongzi.Liang Siqi was wrapped around his body by the two of them, and suddenly he turned his head and gritted his teeth and said to Xiuxiu: "Bao Xiuxiu! How did you see my flaws? Tell me, let me understand!"

Xiuxiu had just tied up his bodyguards, and pointed at the man's body to untie his acupoints. Hearing Liang Siqi ask her, she turned her head and said, "Well, there are many flaws. For example, how can a tea shed in the mountains be so particular? Teapots are too. It's brand new, and the tea leaves are of the highest quality. It's really worth it to put so much tea in there! If it's a small business, isn't he afraid of losing money? You rich and well-fed sons really don't know the customs of the world and the sufferings of the people. And ..." Xiuxiu suddenly bent down, tore off the gray beard of the "old man" lying on the ground next to him, and threw it back on him with a raised hand, "Your eyebrows are thick and black, and your eyes are still clear. You don't seem to be an elderly person, why do you wear such a white beard? Tsk tsk, your skills are really not up to par!"

"Also!" Ru Yi also stood up and kicked the young follower, "You! You are neither blind nor eunuch. There is such a beautiful beauty like me in front of you, but you just stare at the well-dressed Look like a man, I knew you were not a good guy!"

Feng Siniang also smiled and patted Liang Siqi's shoulder, "Hey, who sold you the Mongolian sweat medicine in the tea? Let me tell you, you have been deceived. The medicine is so fragrant that it can kill people in the wind. Are you willing to drink it? Then what, next time you need me again, I have everything here, good quality and low price, no deceit. Boss, think about it." Then he squeezed towards Liang Siqi Wink.Liang Siqi almost lost his breath.

After a while, the guards and servants from behind all caught up, and Xiuxiu ordered them to be escorted to the local government.

After working for a while, we will set off again.Little Treasure, who ran away for a while while Xiuxiu was doing trivial business, ran back, "Mom, turn the corner ahead, it's a fork in the road, which way should we go?"

In the early years, Xiuxiu took Xiaobao away from her hometown and went all the way north to find Wen Bizheng. She relied on asking people for directions. Even if she made a mistake, she didn’t feel that it mattered. It was back on track in a few days.Ever since I met Liu Fei, I left it to him to arrange the itinerary. After that, the group never missed the way, and Xiuxiu never bothered about it again.But now it's different, Xiuxiu followed Liu Fei's usual habit and took out his roll of maps to read.

The picture scroll was spread out on the tea table just now, and several heads squeezed over to look at it. They saw that the picture was densely marked with mountains, rivers, checkpoints, and cities, and there were many words written on it.After watching for a while, several people were silent.Xiuxiu laughed twice, "Don't worry, I will read it, I just... have to watch it slowly, slowly..." As she spoke, she bit her finger.

Suddenly, a closed folding fan clicked on the map, and then, a familiar voice sounded unhurriedly.

"We have left Juyongguan, and we are here now. Follow the road on the left, and Huailai is in front of you." The folding fan continued to trace forward along the ink line, "Go southwest through Meiyu and go to Weizhou Station, and then go straight to Go ahead, pass Guangling, Wengchengkou Station, and then go on, it is Datong Mansion." After finishing the whole line, the folding fan retracted, opened it in front of his chest with a bang, and slapped it twice, "Well, we arrested these few people just now. It took a lot of time for the wanted criminal, and he couldn't make it to the next station before dark. I don't think so, my lord," Liu Fei turned to Xiuxiu, and leaned slightly as he always did when he was advising her, and moved closer , "If you take that fork in the road, there is a small village not far away. Let's stay there for one night, repair and repair, and continue on the road tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

Finally taking off the disguise and no longer dodging, Liu Fei met Xiuxiu's gaze with a smile in his eyes. His eyes were like a pool of autumn water, clear and bright, and like a ray of spring breeze, warm and gentle.

Xiuxiu was already in a daze.She fixed her eyes on Liu Fei with shock, ecstasy, and a little daze and confusion in her eyes.Her lips trembled slightly, "You...you!" She couldn't say a complete sentence.

Ru Yi's eyeballs also stared as if they were about to fall out, "Afei...you...are you healed? It's true! Are you healed? Whoops! Why did you recover all of a sudden, my God! The Bodhisattva has appeared Oh?" She still couldn't take her eyes off, but pulled off the sleeve of Feng Siniang next to her as if to prove it.

Feng Siniang had already recovered from the brief surprise, she snorted, rolled her eyes at Ru Yi, smiled disdainfully and complacently.

Xiaobao just covered his mouth with both hands and smiled. In the carriage just now, Uncle Liu had some secrets with him.

"Oh, it's like this. I really didn't seem to be able to use my brain very well a while ago. I always felt like a dream, and I didn't know what was going on. But today, I was blown by the wind in the mountains. , Hey, suddenly I feel refreshed. Hehe, maybe my horoscope is against the capital, I am not suitable to stay there."

Liu Fei was talking nonsense cheerfully, his eyes were watching Xiuxiu's reaction for a moment, but Xiuxiu seemed to be fixed by some spell and remained motionless.

"Xiuxiu, uh... Did you hear what I said just now?" Liu Fei asked cautiously.

Xiuxiu nodded slowly, then shook her head again.

Not good!Is it too exciting for Xiuxiu to accept?Don't worry about yourself, she is so stupid.Liu Fei was also a little unsure, he folded his fan, and waved his hand in front of Xiuxiu, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you all right? Xiu..."

Before finishing a sentence, Xiuxiu suddenly groaned, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

Liu Fei's whole body suddenly went numb!

After a while, his sense returned, he lowered his head and whispered in Xiuxiu's ear: "Xiuxiu, there are people, they are watching..."

Xiuxiu buried her face in his arms without moving, raised her hand and punched him on the chest.

This punch was not light, Ah Fei sighed in his heart that he was really sick, why did he feel so happy after being punched?He pouts at Xiaobao, motioning him to take Ru Yifeng Siniang away, but Xiaobao sticks out his tongue at him and makes a face.Liu Fei had no choice but to wrap his arms around Xiuxiu's waist, and hugged her around for half a circle, using his back to block the sight of the two big and one small behind her.Only then did Ru Yifeng Siniang smile at each other, and led Xiaobao away tactfully.The other followers also hurriedly found some useful and useless things, and went to work without squinting, leaving this world to the embracing couple.

Afei embraced Xiuxiu, patted and stroked her back lightly.

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, I'm not okay, I'm alright, huh?"

"I know it made you worry, it's my fault, I promise, there will be no next time, really..."

"It happened suddenly, you are too excited, I understand, I...in fact, I don't feel well."

"These days, although we are together every day, it seems that we haven't talked for a long time. I really want...Xiuxiu, let me listen to you, okay?"

"Xiuxiu, are you... all right? Let go first, let me see you..."

Xiuxiu still didn't raise her head, didn't make a sound, she just hugged him tightly, as if Liu Fei would disappear if she let go.

The chest gradually felt the moist heat, accompanied by Xiuxiu's slight inhalation sound.This strong woman who never showed weakness was crying like a little woman in his arms at this moment.Liu Fei's heart suddenly ached beyond measure.

He bowed his head.

A drop of crystal dew fell on Xiuxiu's shoulder, instantly painting a darker blue.

Ah Fei was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Anyway, we just passed through Xiongguan again. I think the road ahead should be smooth. But it doesn't matter, As long as I walk with you, I feel very happy, Xiuxiu..."

He hugged Xiuxiu's hands, tightening them tighter...
