[Comprehensive Sword Three] Peach and plum are all over the world

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and there is another poem, with a hundred thousand guan in his waist, riding a crane to Yangzhou.Yangzhou is an excellent place.

Looking at the crowd coming and going, Li Jing was surprised, "There are so many people, more than the people at the market."

Lei Xi pulled the stubborn donkey forward. He didn't feel much emotion about the bustling scene. When he was young, he had traveled across the great rivers. Although those towns were not crowded with each other, they were still bustling with people.

"Let's go, if it's too late, there will be no place to live."

"Hey, scholar, wait for me."

"I'm going to go shopping tomorrow, you have to accompany me... What's your expression?"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it."

"Humph!"

It's night, and the lights are on.Li Jing sat in the lobby, ordered a few good dishes, and was bored with her chin resting on her cheeks. She cast her gaze downwards. As soon as it was dark, there were already large and small lanterns hanging on the street. City.

Girls come in groups of twos and threes, rubbing rouge, or red hairpins on the green clouds, or swaying steps, adding a little bit of extravagance.The teenagers held up lanterns and stood in another place, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing jade pendants around their waists, waiting for their sweethearts.

Li Jing was very curious about this scene, she couldn't take her eyes off her eyes, she didn't even know that Lei Xi was coming.

"Eat first." Lei Xi picked up the chopsticks by himself, put the vegetables in Li Jing's bowl, and then bowed his head to eat.

"I know." Li Jing glanced at Lei Xi, took a few mouthfuls of food, and turned her head out of the window.

The night slowly covered the city of Yangzhou, only making the lanterns brighter.A burst of fireworks suddenly rose in the distance, fiddled with the veil of the night, changing magnificent colors.

Li Jing leaned against the window, and the night breeze kissed her cheek, leaving a little drunkenness, which melted into a puddle of water in her heart. "It's so beautiful." She said.

The voice was very gentle, less the usual publicity, and more soft. Lei Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and saw Li Jing clearly through the short-lived magnificence.

There seemed to be countless lights in her eyes, waiting for a person to return, and when she looked again, there was only one cluster of light, which was the light from downstairs.

Lei Xi suddenly wanted to be the one who returned, blew out the lights in her eyes, and then re-lit a lamp, waiting for his own lamp.He thought he liked her.

Those eyes reflected thousands of lights, and also gathered men and women in the world.Li Jing suddenly saw that person took down a lantern, exchanged the lantern with another person, held on to her hand, and walked towards the distant river with countless people, never to be seen again.

Li Jing opened her mouth, wanting to say a word of congratulations.

"Jing'er, why are you crying?" Lei Xi asked with concern.

Li Jing turned her head, tears suddenly blurred her vision, in that twilight, what Li Jing saw was an incomprehensible emotion, it was very bright, it would not pass by in a flash, maybe it would stop forever There, will not leave.

"I'm happy." Li Jing wiped her face, she raised her voice trying to hide the disappointment in her heart, "I'm just happy."

Lei Xi came over and hugged her gently. "Cry, I won't watch."

The path paved with blue stones leads to a brightly lit room, a figure hits the window, against the moonless night, it is inexplicably more terrifying, like an endlessly entangled evil spirit, approaching again and again Come for your life.

"Say it again!" The man's face was full of gloom, and the warm candlelight couldn't illuminate his kindness, only a gloomy look.

"This subordinate is guilty. It seems that Lei Xi is protected by a master. Several assassinations have failed." A man in black was kneeling in the hall, his back was soaked in cold sweat and his whole body was shaking.

"He's a poor scholar, where can he find the money to ask someone to protect him?" He squinted his eyes, he did this very carefully, and only asked Lei Xi to die unexpectedly, and bury the matter in his hands in the ground.

The man in black leaned even lower, "According to the owner, we were disguised as ordinary Jiangyang thieves before. Later, Lei Xi got acquainted with a yellow-haired girl, and since then he has repeatedly missed."

"The point is, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." His big hand slapped the table, leaving a complete palm print.

"That's right, it's that girl. Although that girl's martial arts is not very good, she seems to have an expert behind her." The man in black sped up his speech and finished the sentence in one breath, "We have no choice but to use poison, but That girl knows a little bit about medicine, and she used various methods to mess up the poison we administered."

After hearing this, there was no sound from above.The man in black knelt there, not daring to vent his breath, life or death depended on the man's thoughts.

"You mean, that yellow-haired girl has a lot of background." A pair of brocade shoes walked up to the man in black, the embroidery on them was lifelike and vivid.

"Yes, the people behind the scenes are highly skilled in martial arts and never show their faces." The man in black closed his eyes and did not look at the shoes. "We were all injured in the internal organs by the shock, and the injuries are difficult to recover. As a last resort, we can only come back to recuperate first. I hope the owner will forgive me and give my subordinates another chance."

"You mean concussion injury?" He bent down and clamped the wrist of the man in black. He felt the pulse and recognized the injury. Yes, he was very familiar with it. The scene 18 years ago suddenly all Emerging from the bottom of the lake, it played out before his eyes.

"The sound of the zither, the energy of the sword." He repeated these two words, then laughed wildly, losing his usual demeanor, "He really didn't die, he really didn't die."

"Master." The man in black didn't know why.

"That demon girl is definitely not dead." He grabbed the skirt of the man in black, his eyes tearing open, "How old is that girl?"

"Looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old." The man in black was taken aback, and only told all he knew, "We're very good friends with Lei Xi, and we'll walk together all the way."

"Lei Xi..." He sneered. The reason why he sent someone to hunt down the son of the leader of the martial arts was because the other party's hand was too long. Since his father was the leader of the martial arts, he visited various sects and got a lot of information. Overturn the bloody case of that year.

"If you want to overturn the case, I will make it difficult for you to protect yourself."

The candle flame suddenly burst into a candle, illuminating his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were faintly reminiscent of the past.

**

Lei Xi was woken up by knocks on the door, "Scholar, get up quickly, the sun is already rising."

Lei Xi turned over, squinted his eyes and looked at the casement, which was closed tightly, only a few rays of light escaped in, passed through countless dust, and left a few round spots on the floor.

so late?Lei Xi was half asleep, he remembered that he had a long fight with Li Jing last night and drank a lot of wine.Then, Lei Xi sat up covering his head, he couldn't remember clearly.

"Scholar, get up quickly when you wake up. I'll wait for you downstairs." Li Jing stopped knocking, and shouted to Lei Xi through the door. She hurried downstairs with the snow fox like a gust of wind. .

After slowly washing up, Lei Xi came down to eat. He was wearing crumpled clothes, his hair was tied up indiscriminately, some stubble appeared on his chin, and he looked very decadent.I plan to go back to rest after dinner, last night was too noisy, and I am still not sober at this time.

"Your hangover soup." Li Jing brought a bowl of something unpleasant and put it in front of Lei Xi, "Drink it."

Lei Xi lowered his head and sniffed, the pungent smell penetrated into his chest and went straight to his forehead, he couldn't help coughing a few times to the side, "Why is it so bad?"

"The good medicine tastes bitter, drink it quickly." Li Jing urged, and put the breakfast in front of Lei Xi, asking him to eat.

"We'll postpone the shopping. I want to rest now." Seeing that Li Jing was getting ready to go, Lei Xi's head hurt even more. Auntie, can you let him rest for a day.

"I don't want you to go, you should drink it soon." Li Jing pushed the bowl towards Lei Xi, a little anxious.

After drinking the smelly bowl of hangover soup, Lei Xi hurriedly poured himself a bowl of porridge, and waited for him to catch his breath before asking Li Jing, "You are very strange today."

"Me." Li Jing hugged Xuehu, thinking about something, a trace of sadness quickly crossed her face, Lei Xi thought she was delusional, but when she looked again, it was a vigorous smile.

"You just need to eat as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to wait."

Can't wait for what?Lei Xi swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, and took another sip of porridge, not quite sure what kind of medicine was sold in Li Jing's gourd?He picked up the last steamed bun on the plate and was about to put it in his mouth when he was dragged away by the furious Li Jing.

"I haven't finished my meal yet."

"I won't be able to meet any later."

The person Li Jing wanted to meet was Chu Ruo from another inn.

"At this time, I usually go to Magu's." After breakfast, Chu Ruo sat in the room making tea, drank the bitter tea, and he wrinkled every day.After all, it's outside, not as good as at home, so it's not surprising that the tea tastes bad.

"Young Master Chu is not used to it." Sitting in front of the mirror, Xie Hong took out a paintbrush and carefully traced her eyebrows. Her smile never changed.

Chu Ruo didn't reply, just put down the teacup and refused to drink any more.He stood up and looked out the window, waiting for Xie Hong to finish dressing.

The figure was sent to Xie Hong by the sunlight, and painted on the bronze mirror. Xie Hong put down the pen, and gently sketched his figure on the mirror with his hands.Great, Xie Hong thought.

After a long time, she withdrew her hand, walked to Chu Ruo, and stood side by side with him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City.

"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Traveling all over Suzhou and Hangzhou is not a waste of life."

"As long as you can stay by Young Master Chu's side, it's not a waste of time."

Xie Hong's words were very light, and the wishes in the words were also very humble, for fear that Chu Ruo would go back on her word and leave her.So he reminded Chu Ruo and himself over and over again.

"I just love to think about things." Chu Ruo nodded Xie Hong's forehead, and said helplessly, "Stupid."

"I, no..." Xie Hong took a few steps back while clutching her forehead, and stopped explaining, as if she was afraid of Chu Ruo's further words.

Jian Jianhong was a little dazed, and Chu Ruo couldn't make fun of it. "I'll go out with you for a walk, it's boring to stay in the inn all the time." He walked past Xie Hong, his clothes twirled slightly, and passed in front of Xie Hong's eyes.

Xie Hong panicked and stepped forward to hold Chu Ruo's hand tightly.

"What's the matter?" Chu Ruo looked at Xie Hong in amazement, trying to break free, but it was Xie Hong who grabbed him, and Chu Ruo could only stiffen and remain motionless.

"It was Xie Hong who was rude." Xie Hong quickly withdrew her hand, and she put that hand into her sleeve, thinking nothing, "Just now I feel that Xie Hong will never find Young Master Chu again."

From this angle, Xie Hong could only see Chu Ruo's side face. She couldn't see the emotion in Ruo Ruo's eyes clearly, but only heard Chu Ruo's voice, he said, "Xie Hong, you are thinking too much."

I hope so.Xie Hong's smile was a little more bitter.Chu Ruo had already left her side, and the light from outside poured in after the door, like a giant monster, swallowing Chu Ruo away.

But suddenly someone caught Xie Hong's eyes, she was like a ball of fire, easily igniting Chu Ruo.It's Jing'er, the person Young Master Chu cares about most.

"Master, this disciple misses you so much."

"There are no rules, you still mess around at this age." Chu Ruo had another person in his arms, he took a few steps back, hugged her firmly, his face was full of pampering, even the corners of his eyes were soft.

"Because it's Master." Li Jing's hug is always so natural, without any hesitation, and her smile is also bright, which can light up the light in Chu Ruo's eyes.

Chu Ruo trimmed Li Jing's hair and temples, without a trace of affection, he only regarded Li Jing as a child who hadn't grown up, "I'm thin, Magu will call me again when she sees it."

"No, Master is doing it for me." Li Jing buried herself in Chu Ruo's arms and took a deep breath, then withdrew and introduced the person behind, "He is my friend, his name is Lei Xi."

Chu Ruo saw that the man's clothes were a bit sloppy, wrinkled in several places, there was a blue mark on his chin, and there were two black circles under his eyes.This look is a bit disrespectful.He was about to say something, but saw that the other party looked excited, and seemed to have a thousand words.

"Young Master Lei..."

"Big brother! I'm Xi'er!"

"..."

The scene was quiet for a while, Li Jing turned to look at Lei Xi, confused. "You know Master, it's impossible?"

"Mr. Lei." Chu Ruo smiled like a spring breeze, "You and I have never met before." Even the eldest brother, I look younger than you.

"Baidi City 18 years ago, big brother..." Lei Xi stopped speaking abruptly. He blushed when he saw Chu Ruo, who hadn't changed his appearance and was still young, and changed his address embarrassingly. A bunch of candied haws, take me back to my father."

"18 years ago?" Thinking of her own age, Li Jing couldn't judge the truth of this sentence.She looked at Chu Ruo, waiting for his answer.

Chu Ruo's expression relieved Lei Xi's embarrassment very well. He was a little puzzled at first, as if recalling the past, and then suddenly realized, "It's the child who cries like a little girl."

Lei Xi froze for a moment, then nodded again, he loved to cry when he was a child.

But Li Jing threw off Lei Xi's sleeves and said angrily, "So you are that well-educated boy." From childhood to adulthood, Master always said that there was a very cute child who was someone else's child, and she cried so many times because of it , it turned out that person was Lei Xi.

"Young Master Chu's old acquaintance?" Xie Hong walked over and was a little surprised by Lei Xi's attire. She quickly covered it up, with only a faint smile on her face, "It's quite romantic."

Lei Xi was too ashamed to speak, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in the ground on the spot.

"We met once before." Chu Ruo opened his eyes and said nonsense, "See you now, we can only say it's fate." Along the way, he had already seen Lei Xi all over, and he almost failed to verify his identity.

Hearing Chu Ruo's answer, Lei Xi felt even more ashamed. He suddenly remembered the things he had protected along the way, and almost jumped up and said to Chu Ruo, "I'll fetch your piano for you."

That way, it's like hiding your face and running away.

When they left, Li Jing stuck out her tongue at Chu Ruo and made a grimace. She already knew that Master was protecting her from behind.

Chu Ruo looked away, saw Li Jing's grimace, looked at each other, and finally laughed, "Nonsense."
