Chapter 413 So you just come and shout at me?
"Do what?"
It was about Xu Zhihu's life, Xu Fengnian saw Zhou Ji walking away, so he stepped forward and asked.
"I don't know either." Zhou Ji shrugged, bypassed Xu Fengnian, and continued to walk down the long steps.
“.”
Xu Fengnian stopped at the same spot, tilted his head and stared out his big and small eyes, showing an expression that you were playing tricks on me.
"Hong Xixiang has an extraordinary history, very similar to a woman I met before. If you awaken all your strength, it will not be difficult to save your sister, but it is a pity that the life of Xu Zhihu, who has exhausted his life, may not be able to last until that day. "Zhou Ji looked at the sky in the distance, and said with a gloomy expression, "Now, he chooses to wake up before Xu Zhihu's life comes to an end, and things are a little more variable."
Zhou Ji sighed deeply, and suddenly felt another flexible and cold 'finger' lightly touch the back of his hand, and looked away, only to see two strands of vines overlapping each other, like a woman standing with arms folded, accompanied by scrutiny Nian Ya raised her head slightly and glared at him.
"Old Zhou, Lao Zhou~" Xu Fengnian caught up again, and said anxiously, "Where did you meet that woman? Can you ask her to save my sister!"
"Dream." Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, gently stroking the vine shoots with his fingertips, and said to Si Teng: "I once had a dream, and in the dream, I and an old master teamed up to kill him."
"." Xu Fengnian twitched the corner of his mouth, looked straight at Zhou Ji, and found that he didn't seem to be joking, so he laughed angrily, "In the end, I'm still playing tricks on me."
Zhou Ji shook his head and did not explain to Xu Fengnian.
A group of people went out and found Wei Shuyang, who had been waiting for a long time outside the temple, to join Shu Yu and others.
There was a lot of commotion in Baoguo Temple just now, with purple energy coming from the east, immortals riding cranes; surging rivers, and tornadoes of sword energy; Wei Shuyang asked the literati who had escaped, and he was very worried, and wanted to break into the temple several times , but remembering Xu Fengnian's previous confession, he could only pace back and forth in front of the carriage until he saw the son returned safely, so he hurried up to greet him with Shu Yu.
"My lord, why are there only a few of you? What about Missy and Jiang Ni?"
After confirming that Xu Fengnian was fine, Wei Shuyang breathed a sigh of relief, only to notice that only Zhou Ji, Xu Fengnian, and Li Chungang were left, and none of the female relatives who accompanied him into the temple came out.
"Hong Xixiang took the elder sister to heal her wounds and illnesses." Xu Fengnian mentioned Jiang Ni, paused slightly, and said with a little melancholy and frustration: "Jiang Ni, she and Yu Youwei left with Cao Changqing from the back mountain. Come back quietly."
Cao Changqing. Jiang Ni
Wei Shuyang wanted to ask again, but seeing that Xu Fengnian was in a low mood and didn't want to talk much, he had to bow his hands and leave softly.
The carriage set off again, staggering on the bumpy mountain road, Cao Changqing from the back mountain of Baoguo Temple, Jiang Ni, Yu Youwei and the others went down the mountain from the side path.
The mountain road was difficult to travel. Along the way, Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei told Cao Changqing about their experiences over the years.
Jiang Ni suddenly remembered something, and discussed: "Uncle Qizhao just made a move, there must be a lot of people inquiring about the truth today, after tonight, I will sneak back to the convoy."
Cao Changqing naturally has no opinion on this, but he is not optimistic about the matter between Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian.
"Have you ever thought, Your Highness, that Xu Xiao deliberately kept you by Xu Fengnian's side. Can the bond between you and Xu Fengnian since childhood be true?"
Jiang Ni was silent for a moment, and said softly: "But people's hearts are not fake, let me accompany him through the journey of Longhu Mountain."
Cao Changqing shook his head, not believing that she would be completely broken after walking through Longhu Mountain, and tried to say: "Your Highness, if Xu Fengnian is in danger in Longhu Mountain, whether to save him or not."
"Save, why not?" Jiang Ni said urgently.
"If I rescue him, it will be equivalent to telling the whole world that the Xu family and Xichu are not enemies. At that time, Xu Fengnian really has no way out." Cao Changqing looked at Jiang Ni deeply, and said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Jiang Ni's mood was disturbed again, Yu Youwei couldn't help laughing and said: "My princess is confused if she cares. Xu Fengnian has both the sword **** Li Chungang and the Mr. Zhou Ji who calls his wife with flowers all day long. , with the two of them here, how can there be any danger?"
Jiang Ni suddenly realized, the confusion in his eyes once again gathered a clever light, he glanced at Yu Youwei gratefully, and nodded in approval.
"However, it would be better if Mr. Cao is willing to make a move so that Xu Fengnian has no way out." The smile on the corner of Yu Youwei's mouth rose a few more times, she coughed lightly, and teased, "Your Highness can bring him back together at that time. Xi Chu~~"
give me back.
Give me back my gratitude.
The expression on Jiang Ni's face gradually froze, and she didn't know how to defend herself against Yu Youwei's teasing and joking smile.
When you don't know how to react, just smile.
Jiang Ni showed a bright smile to the young fish, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Turning his head, the smile on his face faded instantly, expressionless, he said solemnly: "Uncle Qizhao, I want to eat cats."
"Don't be so cruel?"
Yu Youwei panicked, hurriedly protected the white cat in her arms, and took half a step to the side.
Jiang Ni turned back to look at her with a stern face, and threatened: "Are you still talking nonsense?"
Yu Youwei knew that Jiang Ni was actually joking, and retorted with a bit of grievance: "I'm telling the truth."
"Don't dare to say it~" Jiang Ni took a step forward, lit up her small fist and threatened: "Be careful what you say in the future, otherwise your cat will have bad consequences."
Yu Youwei stretched out her hand to press down on her little fist, leaned over, and whispered, "Can you say a few words in secret?"
"Better not let me hear."
Jiang Ni muttered in a low voice, pulled off the cat's claws stretching towards her sleeve, and walked forward on her own.
"Hey~you wait for me~"
Yu Youwei held back her smile, lifted the white cat in her arms, and hurriedly chased after it.
Cao Changqing looked at the two people who were about to go away, as if he saw the colorful and laughing Chu Palace. Jiang Ni was so innocent at the time, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring her back to Xichu.
The colorful memories gradually fade into black and white, and laughter is replaced by fighting and mourning.
In the end, all that remained was the eyes full of blood and the corpse of the royal family lying in a pool of blood.
One of them belonged to Jiang Ni’s mother, the Queen of Chu
He has experienced the pain of not being able to stay with his lover. In his heart, he actually does not want to separate the lover.
Close your eyes and open them slowly.
The crisp, wind-chime-like laugh was no longer in the ears, Cao Changqing reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, and the blood that had been impacted by Dahe's sword intent just now overflowed from the corner of his mouth again due to the surging thoughts.
A smear of bright red blood stained the fingertips, just like the pool of blood in the memory.
After Jiang Ni left, the carriage suddenly became empty.
Li Chungang can finally monopolize the entire seat, lie down how he wants to lie down, and pick his feet as he wants.
Without Jiang Ni, urging him to wash his hands and feet, not to scratch.
It seems free and easy, but it always feels dull.
Zhou Ji was still looking after his vines in the carriage, and suddenly felt the carriage stop, and heard Shu shy and respectful "Senior", looked up, and saw a shabby-looking old man in a shabby fur robe Lifted the curtain and squeezed in.
"Isn't Li Jianshen sitting in the carriage in front? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Ji looked at Li Chungang who occupied the long seat on the side as soon as he entered the carriage, his eyelids twitched.
Li Chungang raised his legs and complained: "Don't mention it, just after that girl Jiang Ni walked away for a while, that kid Xu Fengnian seemed to have lost his soul, sitting there silent and taciturn, it's really uncomfortable for bored people."
"So you came to me?" Zhou Ji gave him a white look, and said angrily: "Why did I change carriages with Yuyouwei before, don't you have any idea?"
"I've washed my feet!" Li Chungang leaned back and was about to kick off the straw sandals to show Zhou Ji, but he felt a palpitation in his heart. An extreme danger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he put it down under Zhou Ji's cold gaze. Legs, emphasized: "I just washed it in the pool in the temple."
"Why don't you go back to Huo Huo Xu Fengnian?"
Zhou Ji caressed the vines in the flower pot, and gave him some advice: "At the beginning we promised Xu Fengnian to write martial arts secret books, and my two books have already been delivered, and your third book seems to have been quiet for a long time. , might as well go back and write and teach, maybe the atmosphere will not be so dull."
"Well, it's not impossible."
Li Chungang thought for a moment, then lifted the curtain of the car to ask Shu Yu for a pen and paper. Shu Yu heard the conversation between the two, and immediately handed the pen and paper to Li Chungang. If this set of exercises can be obtained from Li Chungang, she can unpack her luggage on the spot and go back to her Gao Laozhuang.
As the saying goes, people are soft-spoken and short-handed, and Li Chungang was too lazy to talk to this woman who disgusted him, but just took the other party's pen and paper, and it was difficult to respond with the word "roll", so he casually pointed to the carriage and said Sentence: "ask him".
Without giving Shu shame time to react, he flew directly to the carriage in front.
Shu shame felt the gust of wind passing by in front of him, the car curtain rolled up with the wind, and there was no trace of Li Chungang in front of him.
Shu shyly looked at Zhou Ji helplessly, the rolled up car curtain was slowly lowered by an invisible force, separating the two of them.
As dusk approached, the convoy went to a mountain for repairs. Li Chungang really taught Xu Fengnian the profound meaning of opening the gate of heaven with a sword. Just as he closed his eyes to comprehend it, Ning Emei hurried towards the camp with the wooden box picked up by his men. .
"Senior, Feng Ziying just picked up a box outside the camp, and there was a note on it, saying it was dedicated to the prince."
Xu Fengnian slowly opened his eyes, Wei Shuyang and Qingniao approached.
Xu Fengnian took the wooden box and was about to open it, but Wei Shuyang said cautiously: "Be careful there are traps inside the box."
Zhou Ji passed by, picked up the box, looked around, and threw it into his arms, "It's just an ordinary box with a book in it."
"You can know our whereabouts, and you can quietly send the wooden box to Feng Ziying. The box is ordinary, but the books inside must be extraordinary." Xu Fengnian pulled out the wooden box, looked at the line written on the title page, and his face paled. Suddenly changed, got up and looked around, as if looking for someone.
""Wu Su's Biography"" Zhou Ji asked curiously, "Who is Wu Su?"
"She is my mother." Xu Fengnian roughly flipped through a few pages, closed the book, tried to calm down, but still said excitedly, "This is the news about the night my mother was killed in Beijing."
After so many years of investigation, Xu Fengnian already knew that the cause of his mother's death was related to that encounter.
But the details are still not available.
This seems to have become the obsession in the hearts of Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian's siblings. How can he not be agitated when he gets the clue now?
After calming himself down as much as possible, Xu Fengnian flipped through the book again and read it carefully from the beginning. When he saw the watermark pattern on each page, he asked curiously, "What do you say is painted on this paper?"
Shu Shame and Qingniao looked at each other, shook their heads to express that they were not clear.
Wei Shuyang observed for a long time, also showing a confused expression, hesitantly said: "It seems to be a trace of random scribbling?"
"Where is Li Jianshen? He has been in the world for so many years and has seen a lot. Maybe he can recognize the pattern on it." Xu Fengnian looked around.
Ning Emei hesitated and said: "When I just came back, I seemed to see him washing his feet in the puddle over there."
ha?
Xu Fengnian was speechless for a moment.
On weekdays, Jiang Ni had to be reprimanded by Jiang Ni before he was willing to wash his hands and feet. Now that Jiang Ni has not returned, this Li Jianshen is so conscious, which makes Xu Fengnian a little uncomfortable.
"Where's Lao Zhou? Wasn't he there just now?"
Qingniao reported: "Young Master Zhou left the camp and went to the nearby mountain."
Xu Fengnian just casually asked about the patterns printed on the paper, but seeing that neither of them were present, he shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and continued to read.
"On the night of Yufu, Wang Xianzhi was also in the capital! Could it be that he attacked my mother?"
Wei Shuyang frowned slightly, and responded: "The origin of this box is unknown, and what is written on it may not be true."
However, Xu Fengnian seemed to have not heard his response, and continued to look back with his head down.
Seeing Shizi's concentrated appearance, Wei Shuyang, Shu Shu and Qingniao and others retreated consciously, but no one noticed that his devotion was almost pathologically abnormal.
On one side of the cliff on the slope, Zhou Ji put the flower pot beside him, sat in front of the cliff and looked into the distance, suddenly a golden sunflower flew from the bottom of the cliff.
Zhou Ji is still a bit pursuing, at least he won’t pick up and eat things that fall on the ground.
So I moved the flowerpot to avoid the sunflowers that fell on the ground, looked at the woman flying from the steep cliff, pointed to the **** behind her, and said with a smile: "There is no way to go, I have to climb rocks. The girl is really Do not take the usual path~”
The woman replied perfunctorily, "hehe", patted the dust on her body, picked up the sunflower to make sure that no one had taken away a few sunflower seeds, and then carried it on her shoulders, blocking the setting sun that was about to sink into the sea of clouds, and said in a deep voice: "Someone at Longhu Mountain attacked Xu Fengnian."
(Explanation: Every time Shu Shu encounters danger in the play, he advocates disbanding and going back to his own home. It is quite similar to Zhu Bajie in the old version of Journey to the West.)
