[Sword Three] Baili Maple

"Did these two people have their acupuncture points tapped, one or two standing here in a daze?"

The one who spoke was a woman with an enchanting figure and a strange dress. She wore a heavy crown decorated with silver ornaments on her head, and her long hair like a waterfall hung behind her, making her more graceful.

"Hey, Brother Ye didn't say in the letter that Little General Tian Ce is here too?"

Hua Ling can still remember this little general because Ah Mo often mentions it.

The name "little general" was originally called by Ah Mo as a joke. She has always been worried about the matter of exchanging silver bells for lanterns.

After three years of separation, Hua Ling, who has grown into a big girl, looks more stable, with long hair hanging down her waist, although she doesn't wear any accessories, she has a more pure and gentle demeanor.

"Ah, Ah Ling—"

Ye Feng, who finally came back to his senses, stepped forward excitedly and took Hua Ling's hand, smiling until he couldn't see his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Hua Ling was a little funny, but she didn't avoid it, she just looked back at him seriously, and said slowly, "Brother Ye, I kept you waiting, I'm back."

The two of them here are still a bit bored, Ah Mo pouted his lips a little bored, and turned to look at another guy whose eyes were fixed on him.

"Hey, who is this handsome little brother over here?"

Ah Mo walked over with a smile, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, hooked his chin to tease him, "Oh, why are you blushing all of a sudden?"

Li Yun's whole body was stiff, his face was flushed with suffocation, and after a while he seemed to regain his strength and took two steps back abruptly, and said in a bit of embarrassment, "You, you..."

I haven't seen her for eight years, but the lively and impulsive little girl from Miaojiang has become so charming and charming. The little brother Tiance, who never expected it, has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Hey, don't talk to me about reserved and prudent nonsense, we Miao Jiang are not into this kind of thing,"

Ah Mo raised his chin and hummed, "If you say something that is ethical, I will let Xiaoqing and Xiaobai bite you!"

"Amo Amo, don't scare people,"

Hua Ling, who had some sympathy for Li Yun, came over, pulled Qu Mo and said with a smile, "Little General and Big Brother Ye are here to pick us up, right? They came all the way from Luoyang, and we should thank him."

After speaking, she turned to look at Li Yun, nodded and smiled, "Don't mind, Ah Mo has this temperament."

Facing Hua Ling, Li Yun finally calmed down, and his face returned to normal. He replied, "Li is just walking with Ye Xiashi along the way. Also, Li is not a general. Please don't call me that."

Hua Ling was a little surprised by this straightforward answer, she turned her head to look at Ye Feng, and saw Ye Feng was looking at Li Yun with his mouth curled up, as if he saw a hopeless person.

"It's so boring."

Amo rolled his eyes.

"Okay we should go,"

Ye Feng came over, took Hua Ling's hand, and said with a natural look, "Didn't Ah Ling say that he wanted to go to Kunlun, let's go to Guangdu Town to buy some things first, and let you rest for a few days before starting."

He got on the horse first, then handed Hua Ling his hand, and brought her on the horse together.

Then, looking at Li Yun who was still standing still with a smirk on his face, he said, "I'll leave it to you~"

……

"Brother Ye, is Brother Li treating Ah Mo...?"

Hua Ling, who was sitting behind Ye Feng, asked curiously.

Ye Feng, who was secretly happy because his sweetheart was around his waist, reacted for a while before he understood what Hua Ling was asking, and he smiled lightly before replying, "A Ling, did you see it?"

"Hmm...some feelings,"

Hua Ling thought for a while, "But it's strange, the last time the two of them met was when we were in Luoyang, it was almost eight years ago."

"I don't know what that log is thinking either,"

Ye Feng slowed down the speed of the horse to let Hua Ling sit more comfortably, "If it were me, I would just tell whoever I like, why so much fuss."

Hua Ling was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Ye Feng really did this, and couldn't help feeling a little funny and heartwarming.

"Brother Li is different from you, right?"

She leaned her head on his back, and she seemed to be able to hear the violent beating sound of the man's chest through the clothes, "But Ah Ling and Ah Mo are also different. If you are like Brother Li, Ah Ling may I will never see your heart in my life."

"In that case, Ah Ling will probably regret it for the rest of her life."

Ye Feng raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head slightly, looked at Hua Ling's hands around him, and smiled gently.

"Speaking of which, is Ah Mo's condition stable?"

"Well, after several years of cooperation with her senior brother, Ah Mo's corpse poison has been suppressed, and as long as there are no accidents, it will not recur in a short time,"

Hua Ling seemed very happy when she thought of this, "That's why Ah Mo's brother agreed to bring her out with me this time. Ah Mo has been depressed in southern Xinjiang for many years."

"Ah Mo's senior brother?"

Ye Feng snorted.

"Yes, he is very powerful, Ah Mo said, he is one of the best poison masters in the Five Immortals Sect, and there are few people who can match it in the Butian Jue,"

Hua Ling didn't realize that someone's vinegar jar was overturned, so Gu Zi said excitedly, "This time in southern Xinjiang, I have seen many wonderful Gu techniques, and there are many healing prescriptions that I have never seen before. It’s something I haven’t seen in medical books.”

Ye Feng didn't speak, but from the voice, Hua Ling was very happy, and his slightly awkward thoughts faded away, and he smiled slightly following her words.

He just listened to the girl continue talking about all kinds of magical things in Miaojiang.

"That's right, I also saw the peach blossom Gu that Ah Mo told me before!"

Having said that, Hua Ling paused, and smiled meaningfully, "Brother Ye, do you know what the peach blossom Gu is for?"

Hearing the name, Ye Feng could hear the deep meaning in Hua Ling's tone, he thought for a while, then hesitated, "Could it be used on lovers?"

"Brother Ye is so smart!"

Hua Ling laughed softly, she was still leaning on his back, and said slowly, "This peach blossom Gu is a girl from the Miao nationality who put it on her lover. If the other party changes his mind, he will be poisoned, and he will endure ten thousand ants." The pain in the heart, the seven orifices bleed to death in the end..."

Ye Feng felt cold all over when he heard it, and suddenly felt his hairs stand on end.

"Ah Mo told me to let me put Peach Blossom Gu on Big Brother Ye too."

Hua Ling bent her eyebrows and smiled a little wickedly.

"Go down,"

Ye Feng thought for a while, put away his smile and became serious, "In this way, Ah Ling can also be relieved. Anyway, even if I die, I will never change my mind and never leave Ah Ling."

Hua Ling was stunned, and subconsciously tightened her hand holding Ye Feng.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"I originally wanted to wait for Ah Ling to return to the Central Plains from southern Xinjiang, and then go to Wanhua Valley to propose marriage, so that Ah Ling can feel at ease."

Ye Feng held Hua Ling's hand in front of him, and said, "It's just that I see that you still want to continue traveling, so I want to accompany you."

Hua Ling is nineteen this year, and Ye Feng is 26.At this age, it is time to marry a wife and have children. Although they are all people from the Jianghu, they will not be too restricted by their age, but they still care a little bit.

Hua Ling leaned her forehead on Ye Feng's back, closed her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Ye."

Thank you for being so tolerant of capricious Ah Ling, thank you for waiting for Ah Ling without complaint, thank you for always being with Ah Ling.

In June of the 12th year of Tianbao, Hua Ling, Ye Feng, Qu Mo, and Li Yun went to Kunlun Snow Region together.

The Lingyun Juehe connects to the sky, the ice glass jade mirror asks the mysterious, the wind comes out of the empty valley to listen to the bleakness, and the cold moon reflects the snow-capped mountains.

Kunlun has always been a place of right and wrong. Even though the sky is full of ice and snow and far away from the Central Plains, disputes continue because of the proximity to the Valley of the Wicked and the presence of the Kunlun faction stationed there.

But at the same time, this ten-thousand-year-old ice field is also a treasure land, and no one can tell how many treasures are hidden under this white snow.

Hua Ling's trip was to find medicinal herbs that only grow on the Kunlun Snow Mountain.

Although the corpse poison on Qu Mo's body has been suppressed, Hua Ling can't feel at ease every day if he can't eradicate it, and for some reason, the more these years, the unspeakable uneasiness and worry in Hua Ling's heart become more obvious .

She couldn't tell the source of this feeling, she just felt flustered clearly.As the days passed, it seemed that something would suddenly happen one day in the future and completely change her current life.

She anxiously asked "Ye Feng", who was becoming more and more reticent, but what she got was his reassuring smile and a sentence of "everything will be fine".

He was not smiling at all.

Hua Ling could tell at a glance that he must be hiding something, and it was an extraordinary event.

She wrote to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and asked about everyone's recent situation. There was nothing abnormal in the valley. The only thing that counted as a major event was probably that the master of calligraphy, Yan Zhenqing, had left the valley. Wanhua left.

Shu Sheng was worried about the common people. Although he had hidden himself in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley for several years, he had been paying attention to the changes in the court situation. The appointment this time was not unexpected.

But when Hua Ling received the reply, the uneasiness in her heart became more serious.

In October of the 12th year of Tianbao, Li Yun bid farewell to the three of them and returned to Luoyang to garrison.

In June of the 13th year of Tianbao, the three of them returned to the Central Plains, stayed in Wanhua Valley for a month, and then diverted to Jiangnan.

At the beginning of 14, Tianbao started from Wanhua Valley, passed through Chang'an in Xijing, went to Chunyang Palace in Huashan, and then went to Fenghua Valley to visit rabbits, and then passed through Luoyang, the eastern capital, to visit Li Yun who was still stationed, and then went all the way south to Yangzhou again. After staying for a few days, I went to Qixiufang to watch the singing and dancing and watch Qin'er. When I finally arrived at Cangjian, it was already June of Tianbao's 14th year.

"Ye Feng" followed behind several young people all the way, silent.Only look up occasionally to see the cloudless sky.At this moment, the sky is still so clear, and how many people expected that the storm is about to come.

On the ninth day of November in the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan, who was also the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong, joined forces with Turkic, Khitan and other ethnic groups to raise troops in Fanyang under the pretext of "concerning the danger of the country" and following the secret edict to attack Yang Guozhong.
