Chapter 79
Axiu twisted a few times in Xiao Yanning's arms, and Xiao Yanning had to put her down. As soon as the little girl landed, she ran behind May. May protect her.
Xiao Yanning smiled indifferently: "Boy, what are you looking at? Want to kill me?"
May clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes bluntly, not to look at him, but those eyes were full of anger.
Xiao Yanning narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and stopped talking. When he left Jinling City that year, a sloppy fortune-teller gave him a two-character prophecy - building momentum.
Those who create momentum may not win.
But he doesn't regret it, he didn't seek power from the beginning.
Axiu hid behind May and peeked at Xiao Yanning, the little girl suddenly widened her eyes, she seemed to feel something emanating from Xiao Yanning's body, a touch of sadness.
The little girl twitched her nose and couldn't help shouting: "Don't pretend... It's not really sad... If it's a big deal, I won't let you compensate me."
Xiao Yanning came back to his senses and glared at her: "What is sadness?"
The little girl couldn't tell, but she clearly felt that Xiao Yanning just now was very sad and sad...
Many years later, Heng Xiu, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, still thinks of this scene all the time, and thinks of how he was standing in the alley with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a bit of a sense of loss.
Tanabata. Murong Yunheng was led out by the monk named Li Xuanzong, and he did not return for a long time. Princess Xunyang shouted that she was not feeling well, and rested early.
There were only Rao Tu and Shen Zhu in the Jiuyuan Courtyard. Rao Tu prepared Qiaoguo, lotus root, white lotus root, and red ling, and placed them on the table in the courtyard. Shen Zhu saw that she was piercing the moon, so she took a fan. Fan her aside.
Rao Tu said: "In my hometown, the Qixi Festival is a very important festival for girls' families. On this day, girls have to pierce needles on the moon to pray for Zhinu's skills, or to catch a spider and put it in a box. In the next day, if the box is opened the next day, it is called a good luck.”
Shen Zhu said "um", "Those are all girls who are not yet in their twenties, why are you joining in the fun?"
Rao Tu was about to thread the thin thread into the needle's eye, but when she heard such a choking remark, she shook her hand and did not thread it again. She slapped it on the table and looked at Shen Zhu angrily.
Shen Zhu smiled slightly: "Don't be annoyed, I apologize, it was my fault, madam forgive me."
Rao Tu snorted coldly: "Who is your wife, the Tanabata that said it would be... a lie!"
Shen Zhu took her hand, "I won't lie to you, come with me."
Rao Tu was pulled into the room inexplicably, and Shen Zhu pointed to the two red candles standing there on the table at some point, and whispered, "I'll light the candle, you go and cut the candle."
Rao Tu's heart moved, and she glanced at him, "Just these two red candles, you want to buy me?"
Shen Zhu took out three red books from his arms and sent them to her. Rao Tu took a look and saw that the top one was brand new, while the other two were wrinkled and soaked in water, so I couldn't see what was written inside.
When she opened the brand new book, her eyes turned slightly red. There were no fancy words in the booklet, but only eight words, "Shen Zhu Xuheng, we will be together forever." It was very different from ordinary marriage books.
She looked at the two wrinkled red booklets and said nothing.
Shen Zhu said slowly: "Both of them were soaked in water. It was the previous two. After many changes, I realized that on the marriage book, what kind of temperament is soft and good, what kind of perfect combination... are not as good as the four characters of "eternal knot and concentricity."
Rao Tu held back her tears and said, "Who asked you to keep your previous marriage certificate, but you're too embarrassed to take it out!" As she spoke, she also took out a bag from her arms and threw it into his arms and said angrily, "See for yourself, I will wait. I'm trying to save a third one!"
Shen Zhu untied the bag, and pulled out two wrinkled papers with blurred handwriting. Although he couldn't read what was written on them, he knew that they were two divorce papers. He lit the red candle and lit the two letters of divorce on the red candle fireworks, burning them to ashes, reflecting Ratu's tearful eyes.
He whispered word by word: "There won't be a third one."
Rao Tu said: "Who said there would be no, it's up to me to write the third one."
Shen Zhu looked at her and nodded very seriously, "Yes."
Rao Tu also burned the two crumpled marriage books, leaving only the new one, and muttered: "This kind of thing, one book is enough, and it's possible to marry one, two, three... "
Shen Zhu picked up her face, put a kiss on her smooth forehead, and said softly, "Yes, one copy is enough. Aheng, you promised to marry me, and you will always be with me, always be me. wife."
Rao Tu leaned in his arms and listened to his heartbeat. Since he came back, she could clearly feel that his pulse was weak, but at this time she listened to his heartbeat, and it jumped very firmly. on.
How far is forever, maybe at a certain moment. How long a life is, maybe it's just a few unforgettable moments.
This night was Qixi Night, and she only felt extremely fulfilled, but she forgot that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl parted again this night, and what awaited them was a long year and it was difficult to meet each other. And for countless days and nights in the future, she could only repeat one sentence over and over again: "If this relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be in the morning and evening?"
On the second day, Shen Zhu didn't wake up, or he slept for a long time.
Murong Yunheng had no choice, and neither did monk Li Xuanzong.
Rao Tu was hoarse: "Why? Why so fast? Didn't he say that Shuangxiu could save him?"
Murong Yun said nothing, the development of the matter exceeded his expectations, "Shen Zhu's pulse is the same as usual, it's just... It's just that there seem to be two forces in his body that are battling each other... I... don't know... "
Rao Tu stayed beside Shen Zhu for three days. On this night, Lu Zhiming, who had returned from visiting immortals in the East China Sea, came on the moon. Lu Zhiming had lost his ten years of cultivation and revealed a secret to her.
Half of July, Ghost Festival.
Xiao Yanning stood on the Hanzhong city and looked into the distance. There was a person riding on the post road, and the horse's hooves raised countless dust. She was wrapped in a chilling air, and she stopped her horse in front of the city gate and looked at him.
Xiao Yanning waved back the bowman pointing at her, went downstairs to open the door, and welcomed her into the city.
Rao Tu said: "Let me meet the children."
Xiao Yanning looked at her covered in dust. This time he didn't laugh. His heart was pierced by her almost desperate eyes. He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Shen Zhu?"
Rao Tu shook his head: "He... he will be fine..."
Xiao Yanning's eyes became more and more blurred, he was about to lose sight of it, and paused, "What do you want to do?"
Raotu came to Xiao Yanning's mansion, pushed the door into a room, and looked at Hengwen Hengxiu who was sleeping, she pulled Hengxiu's little finger out of her mouth, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth for her, and then for Hengwen Pull up the quilt to cover the stomach.
Xiao Yanning stood calmly by the side, he could hardly see clearly, but he could hear Rao Tu sobbing softly.
After a long time, Rao Tu left the room and gently covered the door. Xiao Yanning took her arm, "What's going on?"
Rao Tu had an almost begging tone, "Please, take care of Heng Wen Hengxiu... May, and May."
Xiao Yanning shouted in a deep voice, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Shen Zhu... Shen Zhu is dying, I..."
Xiao Yanning was furious: "You don't want to die for him, do you? I tell you, don't expect me to take care of your children. I've done a lot of evil, and I'm not destined to die well. When I die, the world will be turned into a puddle by me. Muddy waters, Heng Wen Hengxiu is in troubled times, either he will die early, or he will become a slave and a prostitute..."
Rao Tu slapped him in the face, "I will let you take care of Heng Wenhengxiu, if it can't be preserved, I will not let you go as a ghost!"
Xiao Yanning was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched his cheek, "Do you like being a ghost so much?"
Rao Tu cried: "I don't want to die, I just want to save him, I just want to save him... I can't be by his side, or even oppose him. I want to do a dangerous thing, destined to be I am displaced, so I can't bring Heng Wenhengxiu, you... you must take good care of them..."
Lu Zhouyue was awakened by passive silence, and came to the courtyard to look at the two in surprise. Rao Tu stepped forward and held Lu Zhouyue's hand, "Sister, please help me take care of my two children, ranging from five years to seven years. I... I will come to you."
"Where is my sister going?"
Rao Tu said anxiously, "You promise me, okay?"
Lu Zhouyue nodded stiffly, "You...you can rest assured, I will treat them as my own flesh and blood. When the child in my womb is born, as long as I am alive, the three children will surely live well."
Rao Tu hugged her and said with tears, "Thank you, sister."
A boy's voice came from outside the hospital, "Aunt?"
Raotu looked back and saw May. He was wearing a thin middle coat, and there was a faint worry in his eyes. "Where is Auntie going?"
Rao Tu stepped forward and rubbed his head, "May, accompany me to the shop to get something."
May walked along the clean streets with Rao Tu, and there was no one in front and back. Rao Tu looked back at May who was following behind her, "May, you have grown up. The first time I saw you, you were so small and so pitiful. But now, you can also take on your own responsibilities. ."
May stepped forward and walked side by side with Rao Tu, "If there was no aunt, May would have died long ago."
Rao Tu smiled slightly: "Actually, you are Xiao Yanning's younger brother, and we are the same generation."
May shook his head stubbornly and said, "I'm not Xiao Yanning's younger brother, and I'm not Xiao's family. I... I'm equal to Heng Xiu."
Rao Tu entered the shop, she took out a small sandalwood box, and took out two things from it. One is the old jade seal of the ancient Western Shu State, and the other is a long white jade hairpin with a warm texture.
She handed the jade seal to May, "If you take this jade seal with you, if your fate cannot be changed, then I hope you will be the one who will win in the end."
May shook his head and said, "I don't want it, this jade seal won't recognize me as the master. It... it belongs to Hengwen, Hengwen's thing, I won't grab it, I'll help him."
Rao Tu said: "I never hoped that Hengwen could get these things, I only hope that you can protect him for a lifetime." She didn't expect that Wuyue usually does not speak, but hides her thoughts in her belly. It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to say it.
May hesitated for a while, and reached out to take the jade seal, "I'll help Hengwen save it."
Rao Tu was slightly relieved, held his hand and said, "You must promise me and take good care of yourself, even if you don't have any relatives in this world, but Heng Wen Hengxiu and the others grew up with you, they are your closest relatives. ."
May said firmly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Heng Wenhengxiu. Aunt... Where are you going?"
Rao Tu heard his words, her brows stretched a little, and she said softly: "I don't know where to go, I always... do something bad. Heng Wen Heng Xiu only knows that my name is Xu Heng, Don't tell them that Rao Tu is me, because this name...will be ugly in the future."
Wuyue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "No matter what aunt is going to do, I believe that aunt is a good person and the best aunt in the world."
Rao Tu smiled and said nothing.
May asked again: "In seven years, you will come back to us, right?"
Rao Tu's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said firmly: "Yes!"
May nodded, got up and looked at the sky outside, he sighed: "Tongchuan City has changed at this time, right? I met many powerful people, including Uncle Shen from Donghai, and gentle Mr. Lu. , there is the powerful Murong Mountain Master, and the vicious Xiao Yanning. They are all powerful in martial arts, but all these people together are not as good as Lord Shen. Because Lord Shen can help the people of the world, aunt encounters such a person. Man, it's worth it."
Rao Tu's face changed slightly. She couldn't imagine that these words came from the mouth of a ten-year-old child, and she couldn't believe that this child's mind was already so mature. But she was relieved, because May was not chasing rights without discernment, he had a bottom line.
She felt that Shen Zhu Zengjin's 10,000-character policy of governing the country in Gushezhou had played a role, and this was the first thought she instilled in this child.
She patted May on the shoulder a few times, "May, my aunt left Heng Wen Hengxiu, and I was worried about 10,000, but after listening to your words, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about. You just need to Remember that, in some ways, Xiao Yanning is actually a good person, you should not fight against him, in fact, sometimes he is very good to you."
May nodded, seemingly understanding, and returned to the palace with her.
Xiao Yanning stood at the gate of the palace, he said to May: "Go ahead, I have something to say to your aunt."
May looked at Rao Tu, Rao nodded to him, "Go, wait for me to come back... Heng Xiu loves to cry and eat. Don't be accustomed to her."
May walked three steps back and entered the palace. Xiao Yanning sighed, sat on the stone steps of the palace, and beckoned to Rao, "What are you doing standing, come and sit down."
Rao Tu walked to Xiao Yanning's side and sat down, Xiao Yanning looked up at the sky, "Tell me, who gave you the crooked idea?"
"Did you know? Buddhism has diamonds, Taoism has immortals, and Confucianism has saints." Rao Tu also looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, and the stars were dim.
Xiao Yanning nodded: "I heard Lu Zhiming say that Shen Zhu wants to survive unless he becomes a Confucian saint. For hundreds of years, there have been very few Confucian saints. , it is rare to see arrogance."
Rao Tu said: "But Shen Zhu, Mr. Lu said he has a great spirit."
Xiao Yanning sighed, "Could it be that if you leave Shen Zhu, he will be able to become a saint quietly? Have you ever thought about whether he would like it or not?"
"I know he doesn't want to, but...but he's in a coma right now, and the two qi in his body collide. If neither side is damaged first, to the point where both sides are injured, he...he won't be able to live."
"What two air machines?"
"I stole Li Dai's Taoist technique from the half-tongued Taoist of Qintian Superintendent, and gave him the vitality in my body. The anger disappeared inexplicably a few days ago, and then he fell into a coma. Mr. Lu said that the vitality stimulated The vitality in his body has been stimulated, but now the two qi qi are competing against each other, and the other is growing."
Xiao Yanning frowned, "One change and another grows? Does he need to disappear so that he can live?"
"No, yes...I want me to stay away from him, and even do some bad things to damage my luck, so that he can survive..."
"What nonsense!" Xiao Yanning was slightly annoyed, "Lu Zhiming is cultivating Taoism, does he have such an inexplicable idea?"
Rao Tu shook his head and said, "I believe in Lu Zhiming. There are indeed many mysteries in this world. You once rescued me when I was about to die. You also practice martial arts. You should believe in the theory of qi, it's not a myth."
Xiao Yanning was silent for a moment, then said: "Although Lu Zhiming's idea is not very sensible, but to be honest, it is quite to my liking, I just can't stand the way you and Shen Zhuqing are like me, but... you really want to go. Murder and arson damage your luck?"
Although Rao Tu was uncomfortable listening to what he said, she explained patiently, "I try to control it as best I can."
Xiao Yanning snorted, "Then you must be careful, don't wait for Shen Zhu to finish, and you hang up again."
Rao Tu asked, "Why do you always look at the sky?"
"Tonight in the middle of July, I'll see if there are any ghosts walking at night."
"Ghosts crawled out of hell, what do you think about the sky?"
"What do I want to see, what's wrong? I still have to stare at you? You don't even look in the mirror, your face is gray, and it makes you feel bad."
After hearing this, Rao Tu dispelled the doubts in her heart, no longer tit for tat with him as before, and said, "You also take care." Then she stood up and walked out of the city.
Xiao Yanning shouted behind her: "If you want to kill people, go to Jiangling City, where Mr. Mingqi intercepts Daliang's army."
Rao Tu didn't speak, gritted her teeth and walked out of Hanzhong City. Several times she wanted to go back to see Heng Wenhengxiu again, but she was afraid that she would never have the courage to move after seeing two children.
It was her child, the flesh and blood that fell from her body, how could she be so cruel!
Xiao Yanning sat on the stone steps in front of the palace gate, and he gently repeated her words, "Take care of you too."
He really wanted to see her face again, to see her smile, her anger, but he couldn't see it anymore, his eyes were completely blind, and he was not far from death.
He took out a sachet from his arms and smelled it in front of his nose. It was an old sachet, which he bought from a young girl on the banks of the Qingzhou River more than ten years ago.
At that time, the young girl was still called Xu Heng, clothed Jing Chai, clean and green. A woman is inherently weak, what made her change from a young, ignorant girl to the now steadfast and forbearing Rao Tu?
In a flash, after so many years, he suddenly felt that it was worth it. Yes, that meeting wasn't quite a chance meeting, it was worth it. In his life, he never got what he wanted. When he was young, he wanted to stay away from the palace with his concubine. When he was young, he wanted to avenge the concubine. Now he wants to get a promise from her... He didn't get anything. .
But now, because of the phrase "take care of you too", the heart that has been empty for many years seems to have suddenly been satisfied. It turns out that he wants so little. He got up and said softly, "I took you here because I wanted you to be my princess. Rao Tu, Xu Heng, who allowed you to go?"
Rao Tu got on her horse and looked back at the towering and tall Hanzhong city wall. This city wall has become majestic and majestic in her eyes. Now, she wants to go out of this city.
She was going to Jiangling, to kill Daliang's town army, and to go to Jinling to cut off the head of the man sitting high on the dragon chair in Jinling City. That person tortured her beloved in the floating dungeon, she wants to get it back!
In July, the entire Daliang temple began to tremble. Xiao Yanzhong, the king of Xishu, was killed by Xie Tangyan, a military envoy, and 50,000 old soldiers of Xishu occupied Tongchuan and bowed their heads to Xiao Yanning of Hanzhong.
The army of Daliang Township was ambushed on the Jiangling waterway. 70,000 soldiers lost their helmets and armor, and a woman in plain clothes crossed the river with a reed and overturned a boat of sailors with a bamboo pole.
From that day on, the whole river and lake knew the name Raotu.
The emperor of Jinling City, Longyan, was furious and overturned the memorial of the full case at the court meeting. It is said that Xiao Yanlie heard that Xiao Yanning had two advisers, Ming Qi, the conspirator, and Mrs. Shen, the conspirator, covered his chest and shouted three times. "Why is the surname still Shen?" After that, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yanning firmly controlled the military lines in Hanzhong, Jiangling, and Tongchuan. Within two years, he raised his troops to move eastward, and he approached Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province.
The year is Jingyun five years.
That night, Xiao Yanlie woke up in the palace, staring blankly at the tassel on the side of the tent, his expression was sluggish, and suddenly he walked barefoot outside the bedroom, not allowing his attendants to follow.
He stood on the empty veranda, looking at the dark mountains in the distance, the mountains with a deep sense of oppression, like Xiao Yanning's army of millions, moving towards him all the time.
He coughed a few times and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He thought, maybe there will be a day when Xiao Yanning's army will crush him and crush him, the Daliang Emperor, to dust.
When he was still Prince Yu, he never thought that there would be such a day. Back then, when his father was seriously ill, Ta Xue took him to the Shen residence. How glorious was that then? But after becoming the emperor, how could there be so many fears. If so, he would rather have never been born in the royal family.
A woman's cold voice appeared behind him, "Prince Yu, long time no see."
Xiao Yanlie didn't turn his head. He knew who was coming, and said in a hoarse voice, "There is a woman in the rivers and lakes who promised to take my life this month. You... come."
"Yes, I will kill you."
He smiled: "My father told me back then that Shen Zhu should help the dragon first and then slaughter the dragon. It must be reused first, and then cut off its path."
"So, I'll kill you."
