first and second

At the corner of the alley, a monk in green cloth shouted angrily, "Put her down."

The kidnapper hesitated for a moment, didn't speak, reached out and drew a knife from his waist, the meaning was very clear, I'll say if I win. Seeing that the monk didn't respond, the man in black sneered, turned around and walked forward with Tang Yiqing on his shoulders.

The moment the man in black turned around, the monk picked up the stone on the ground, grabbed his right leg and volleyed up into the air. The kidnapper didn't react for a while, and was hit hard on the head.

The kidnapper threw Tang Yiqing aside, touched the injured head, felt the viscous liquid, his eyes widened instantly, and angrily swung the knife to chop at the monk.

The monk was calm and calm, and firmly grasped the wrist that the kidnapper had chopped off. Seeing that the wrist was caught, the kidnapper attacked the monk's lower body with his leg.

The monk had no choice but to let go of his hand and avoid the attack.

After several reincarnations, the kidnapper didn't take any advantage. He saw Tang Yiqing lying on the ground next to him. He thought of a trick and rushed towards Tang Yiqing at a very fast speed. , turned his head and chopped at the monk.

The monk didn't pay attention, and got hit on the abdomen. At this time, the monk grabbed his wrist with both hands, and kicked the kidnapper's chest. on the ground.

Seeing that they could not succeed, the kidnappers fled.

The monk was hit in the abdomen, so he had to give up.

In the guest room of Guangqi Temple, Tang Yiqing slowly opened her eyes. Pain came from the back of her neck. She resisted the discomfort and sat up in the dark. At this moment, the room was opened, and a monk came in. , he lit the candle in the room, turned around and said, "Miss is awake, where is your home, I will send someone to inform them to pick you up."

Tang Yiqing recalled for a moment, only remembering that she was knocked out when she went down the mountain, and she didn't know what happened afterwards, Tang Yiqing asked, "You saved me?"

The monk said: "Well, I went down the mountain to buy some things, and I just ran into you being beaten unconscious."

Tang Yiqing lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Due to being in a coma for a long time, she couldn't stand still for a while and almost fell. The monk's eyesight quickly helped her up. Tang Yiqing blushed slightly. Except for her own brothers, she hadn't had any sex with other men yet. Physical contact.After she stood firm, she said, "Thank you, what should I call you?"

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk's dharma name is Xuanjing."

It was already Xu time, and the dark night sky was dotted with stars.Crickets are singing outside the temple guest room, and dim candles are lit inside.

The candlelight was flickering gently, and Tang Yiqing saw a pair of eyes that were as black as an abyss, and the deep black eyes were quietly staring at her.

Tang Yiqing felt that these eyes were as calm and deep as a secluded spring on a deep mountain, as if he had looked down on everything in the world, standing in a place isolated from the world, emitting a faint light alone.

Xuan Jing just stood there quietly with her palms folded, her demeanor calm and dusty, waiting for Tang Yiqing's next words.

Tang Yiqing was startled, recovered his senses, lowered his head shyly, and said, "What about the man in black?"

Xuan Jing said calmly, "Run away."

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a young novice followed them to the guest room. When he arrived at the guest room, the little novice said, "Senior Brother, Master Tang is here. He is the elder brother of the benefactor."

Tang Weizhen waited in the mansion and did not wait for Tang Yiqing who came to Guangqi Temple to pray for blessings. Seeing that it was already dark and Tang Yiqing hadn't come back, Tang Weizhen was worried and decided to go to Guangqi Temple in person.

After arriving at Guangqi Temple, I asked the abbot of the temple, only to learn that Tang Yiqing was kidnapped and rescued by Master Xuanjing passing by, and is now resting in the guest room.

The door was pushed open from the inside, and Tang Yiqing came out, smiling obediently and saying, "Brother, I'm fine, it was Master Xuan Jing who saved me."

Seeing that Tang Yiqing was not injured, Tang Weizhen was relieved, and asked Xuanjing what happened, and said that he could go to the Tang Mansion in the future, and Tang would definitely help him. After thanking Xuanjing, he took Tang Yiqing and prepared to return to the mansion.

Tang Yiqing followed Tang Weizhen, and quietly turned her head to look at Xuan Jing who was standing at the door. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of blood on Xuan Jing's abdomen. She stopped, turned around and asked, "Master Xuan Jing, what is your abdomen?" bleeding."

Xuan Jing didn't look at her abdomen, but put her hands together and said calmly, "It's okay."

Tang Yiqing knew that the injury must have been done to save himself, and felt a little uneasy, so he said, "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to bring you some medicine."

Xuan Jing said briefly: "No need."

-

Soon, the emperor and the court officials knew about Tang Yiqing's kidnapping, and the emperor ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case.

The Minister of Dali Temple took people to Guangqi Temple to tell Xuan Jing what had happened, and asked someone to draw down the features of the kidnappers, and posted them in every corner of the street.

Liu Wenchao saw that Liu Mingxiao's injury had completely healed, so he asked Liu Mingxiao to take office in Shaozhou. Liu Mingxiao met the emperor in person and said that he was willing to go to Shaozhou to fight against the bandits and do his part for the emperor.

Liu Wenchao rested today.

The family of three and Ling Ran sat together for breakfast, the last reunion dinner this year, because Liu Mingxiao was going to Shaozhou to take office today, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit sad.

Sitting on the top, Liu Qingyuan looked at the family reunion scene, and suddenly he was full of emotions. He thought that he was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and wanted to serve the court with a sincere heart, and wanted to have a great life. as.

However, good fortune tricks people, and heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes.Liu Qingyuan started to take part in Qiuwei for the first time at the age of 20, and kept failing the rankings until he failed seven or eight times in a row. He finally found that it was difficult for him to change his destiny. What's more sad is that because of too many exams, his family was already in poverty , after the last exam, before the list was released, his wife also left him, leaving behind two half-sized children, so he had to give up his lifelong wish and shoulder the burden of supporting the two children.

Day after day, year after year, the two children have been nurtured by Liu Qingyuan with all his heart and mind. Today, one is the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Celestial Dynasty; the other is the governor of Shaozhou. What a pity.

Maybe it's because he's getting old, or because Liu Mingxiao's parting is imminent. This kind of atmosphere is easy to make people sentimental and hurts the spring and autumn. He can't help thinking how much time is left to sit and eat together like this, and whether he can wait until Liu Mingxiao returns triumphantly in his lifetime With tears in his eyes, he said sadly, "Mingxiao, take care of yourself when you get there."

Liu Qingyuan is just a small scholar. He experienced cruel blows in the first half of his life. After being tortured, he has neither Liu Wenchao's broad vision nor Liu Mingxiao's attitude of reckless fighting. Shuang Huan, an old man and father in the dying years, he only hopes that his child will be safe and healthy, and return home as soon as possible.

Liu Mingxiao was wolfing down the rice in the bowl, when he heard Liu Qingyuan's hoarse voice, he couldn't help but look up, just this one glance, he was struck by lightning, he had never seen his always strong father with tears in his eyes, He forced a smile and said, "Father, what are you thinking? Your son and I are not 'Jing Ke'. I will never return. I will come back after defeating the bandits." After speaking, he kicked Liu Wenchao and returned He did not forget to wink at Liu Wenchao.

Liu Wen gave him a blank look, put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Liu Qingyuan: "Father, just put it down! Just like Mingxiao, I will definitely not let myself suffer when I arrive in Shaozhou."

Seeing the two brothers talking and laughing, Liu Qingyuan couldn't help being amused, and immediately regained his previous look, and said seriously: "You all learn from Ling Ran, who doesn't talk when eating or sleeping.

Ling Ran, who was called by name inexplicably, let out an "ah" and said nonchalantly, "Are you talking about me?"

After a very short silence in the air, the four of them looked at each other and laughed loudly.

After this dramatic breakfast was over, Liu Mingxiao was packing his luggage in the bedroom. The next moment, his bedroom was pushed away by Ling Ran, and Ling Ran asked, "Second Brother, are you really not bringing any Shall I go?"

Liu Mingxiao knew who it was without turning his head to listen to the voice. This young man who had been with him for more than ten years, Ling Ran, wiped his spear, and replied: "I told you, you stay and listen to my elder brother's arrangements. .”

Ling Ran was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered, "But I've never left you since I was sensible, and I can't bear you."

Liu Mingxiao put the spear on the ground, turned around and began to straighten his battle uniform, and said with a smile: "I have never left the capital, this home, and now I have my own mission and shoulder heavy responsibilities, I can't take you there, the battlefield Ruthless, the sword has no eyes, maybe one day I will die."

Ling Ran took two steps closer: "Trust me, I can protect myself well."

Liu Mingxiao finally turned his head to look at him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said, "Isn't it good to stay here?"

Ling Ran looked at the hands on his shoulders, and couldn't help blushing. He quickly turned around and said, "You really don't want to take me?"

Liu Mingxiao stopped talking, but Ling Ran understood, so he quickly left the door.

Liu Wenchao saw Liu Mingxiao off on a hard-earned horse bestowed by the emperor. When Liu Mingxiao saw the horse, his eyes lit up, as if seeing a rare treasure. Liu Mingxiao dragged Liu Wenchao all the way and chatted about how the horse could run, how rare it was, Liu Wenchao also responded with a smile, only Ling Ran didn't say a word, as if he was absent-minded, only the corner of his eye followed Liu Mingxiao all the way.

Soon it was sent to the official road, Liu Wenchao took the wine glass handed over by Ji Rufeng and said: "You just let go and fight against the bandits, and if you need anything, just tell me, and my brother will solve it for you.

Liu Mingxiao laughed loudly, and said: "You are really my good brother, when I come back triumphantly, I will definitely get drunk with you for three days."

The two raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time, Liu Wenchao said: "Return safely."

Liu Mingxiao nodded, then looked at Ling Ran, walked to Liu Wenchao's ear and said, "That brat Ling Ran insists on going to Shaozhou with me, and if I don't let him go, he'll get into trouble with me, brother, replace me Take care of him."

Liu Wenchao turned his head to look at Ling Ran who was at the side, and said, "Got it."

Liu Mingxiao got on his horse, looked back at the two of them, and then walked away.

The red cloak fluttering lonely in the wind, drifted farther and farther with the gallop of the horse, until the scarlet spot disappeared from sight, Liu Wenchao turned his head and looked at Ling Ran beside him, he was still standing in the wind, watching Liu Mingxiao leave direction, motionless, like a 'Watching husband stone'.

Liu Wenchao knew that the two of them had deep feelings for each other, and Ling Ran often stuck to Liu Mingxiao's side. Liu Wenchao tried to ask, "Do you want to go to Shaozhou with Mingxiao?"
