Chapter 87
Rao Tu turned around and went down the tower, and saw Nangong Yiwu with a piece of dry grass in his mouth, squatting against the root of the city wall, humming an out-of-tune ditty. Rao Tu asked, "Where are the people?"
Nangong Yiwu stood up, "Follow me."
Rao Tu frowned and said, "You look like a fool, don't catch me wrong."
Nangong Yiwu glanced back at her, and said angrily: "Sister, you originally said that you were stealing incense and jade. When I saw that person, I really thought it was a mistake."
Rao Tu pursed her lips and smiled, "You said that, it doesn't seem to be wrong."
Nangong Yiwu took her to a private house, where Rao Tu met Jiang Ying, who had been selling wine in Tongchuan for more than ten years and was imprisoned by Xie Tangyan for five years. He sat cross-legged on the ground, dressed in a simple robe. Although he had been captured and his hands and feet were chained, his face was calm, his back was straight, and he did not show any signs of cowardice.
Jiang Ying slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Rao Tu, he smiled slightly and said, "Madam, are you okay?"
Rao Tu personally untied the chains for him, and bowed to him: "Forced by the situation, General Tangtu."
Jiang Ying shook his head, "Being able to leave Tongchuan in his lifetime, Jiang must thank his wife for making it happen."
"Don't worry, the general. Now I only ask the general to stay here for half a day. When the situation in Jiangling stabilizes, the sky is high and the sea is wide."
Jiang Ying smiled, got up and walked into the courtyard, looked up at the dark cloudy sky, and said calmly: "Jiang is only asking for one thing, and ask the wife to grant it."
"But it doesn't matter."
"After capturing Xie Tangyan, let me kill him with my own hands."
Rao Tu said softly: "Xie Tangyan's life depends on the general. Whether it's me, Shen Zhu, or Xiao Yanning, they won't bother."
Jiang Ying put his hands behind him, his face was calm, and he stopped talking.
Xie Tangyan heard the news that Jiang Ying had been kidnapped, and gritted her teeth and cursed for a while. Instead of ordering a siege, she ordered the army to station on the spot and firmly control Jiangling Ferry.
Ziyi Murong was blocked by the monk Li Xuanzong, and the two were deadlocked for a long time on the post road outside Jiangling City, and Lu Zhiming then caught up.
Shen Zhu and three thousand white vests were walking along the post road, and saw a monk and a group of horns blocking Murong Yunheng, Shen Zhu did not dismount, but shouted loudly: "Please leave a day for the next one, one day. In the future, Shen Zhu will definitely come back."
Lu Zhiming flicked his whisk, "You just go, you don't have to come back."
Shen Zhu felt that his inner breath was unstable, and he didn't say much at the moment. He nodded slightly to Murong Yunheng, and Murong Yunheng also smiled and nodded in return. Shen Zhu whipped his whip and quickly ran away from the three of them. Even if he and Murong Yun were in a life-and-death struggle, they were still polite and thoughtful.
Wu Yue was behind Shen Zhu, with a decisive look on his face, without hesitation. When he was a teenager, Lu Zhiming once blocked Murong Yunheng's palm for him, and Murong Yunheng was even more kind to him. Now these two benefactors are dying in front of him, but there is no ripple in May's heart. . Over the years, he has seen too many killings. He is not a person who is indecisive. Knowing that current affairs are tense, he cannot tolerate his mother-in-law.
Shen Zhu turned back and glanced at the calm face of May, his heart was slightly turbulent, and he thought to himself that Xiao Yanning might be right. But in such a May, even if the mind is hard, from another point of view, isn't it more imperial?
Murong Yunheng let Shen Zhu run past him, he sat on the ground, and slowly said to Lu Zhiming and Li Xuanzong, "I won't do anything until Shen Zhu and Xie Tangyan decide the winner."
Li Xuanzong looked solemn, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Amitabha." The sound of the Sanskrit fell, there seemed to be fairy music in the sky, and there were cranes flying in the dark clouds.
Lu Zhiming looked up at the sky and said nothing. Murong Yun smiled and said, "It's such a chaos in the world, you go to split the mountain."
Lu Zhiming's brows flickered faintly with a talisman purple light, and he said softly, "I've been in the devil for a period of time, it's a poor man with eyes but no pearls, and I don't know Mr.
Murong Yunheng took a pot of fine wine from his waist, "This is what I hung on my body before entering the customs. In this world, beauty and wine can't be let down, but I forcibly endured seven years without Kaifeng. You know I have a firm mind, This time down the mountain, I will not give up until my goal is achieved.”
Lu Zhiming nodded, "Yes, beauties and wine can't be let down. Wouldn't it be a pity for Mr.
Murong Yunheng threw the jug in his hand, Lu Zhiming reached out to take it, pulled off the lid of the jug, and poured a few sips of clear wine with his neck up.
Lu Zhiming was not good at drinking, but he laughed a few times, wiped his mouth and said, "Happy!" Then he turned to look at Li Xuanzong and asked, "Master, drink?"
Li Xuanzong shook his head with a smile, and said to Lu Zhiming: "The wine is not intoxicating, but people are intoxicated. The poor monk was already very drunk in the floating world, so why waste the wine?"
Lu Zhiming heard the Zen machine in his words, threw the jug back to Murong Yunheng, and sighed: "What you said, sir, is very powerful."
Murong Yunheng took the jug, he smiled and looked at Li Xuanzong, and said calmly: "The first time I saw the master on the Shu Road, I knew that the master was the one blocking the road, sure enough."
Li Xuanzong also sat cross-legged, in the posture of "Falun Gong", and recited Sanskrit sounds in his mouth.
Lu Zhiming said to Murong Yun: "Please Rong Pindao go back and put Miss Zhenlong into the ground for safety."
Murong Yunheng stretched out his hand and said casually, "Please."
Lu Zhiming turned around and walked back, and saw five or six men in white vests standing guarding Zhenlong's body. A soldier in a white vest saw Lu Zhiming, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Shen ordered me to wait here to take care of the girl."
Lu Zhiming nodded, went up to pick up Zhenlong, saw her complexion, mourning in his heart, and looked around, it seemed that there was no one else Lu Zhiming cared about in the vast world. He pointed to one place and said to several soldiers, "Break the ground here and let her settle it."
Hearing this, several soldiers did not dare to use their swords to dig the soil. They dug a big hole with their bare hands. One of them hesitated: "Sir, please let Xiaoren go to the city and ask for a good coffin."
Lu Zhiming shook his head, "She said that if she died one day, she would rather be turned into mud and paid for in spring flowers."
The priest dared not speak any more. Lu Zhiming put Zhenlong in the pit, picked up a handful of fine soil and sprinkled it on her purple clothes. The Taoist priest blushed. His lips trembled as he tried to say something, but he finally said something. Nothing was said.
The purple clothes are buried in the soil, and in the spring of next year, the red powder will be withered.
Lu Zhiming stood up again, the dark clouds rolled, but there was no heavy rain, and there was snow falling. He looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, the tears in his eyes gradually faded, and he uttered two words softly.
"Very good."
In the city, Rao Tu placed Jiang Ying, and when he turned around to find Xiao Yanning, he was sitting in front of the inn window drinking. Because of the overwhelming army, people in the city were panicking, and the shopkeeper had already closed his business, but he could see that standing outside the door seemed to be the blind boy who was scolding the enemy generals on the city wall.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, he prepared the best drinks in the shop and let him sit in front of the window and drink alone.
Xiao Yanning heard the footsteps coming towards him, and said impatiently: "Raotu, I finally cleaned up for a while, why are you bothering me again?"
Rao Tu sat down opposite him, "Xiao Yanning, I have something to ask you."
"What? Do you think Lao Tzu was frightened?" Xiao Yanning looked disdainful, "If you have something to ask for, you should be humble. Why can't I hear you in a bad tone?"
Rao Tu said word by word, "Hengxiu is your junior."
Xiao Yanning paused slightly and frowned, "What is it?"
"Please treat her as a junior for the rest of your life."
Xiao Yanning was silent for a moment, confused, "So, I don't think she is an aunt now. Although I said a few words about her little aunt, you wouldn't mind this, would you?"
Rao Tu nodded, "Okay, I'm going out of the city, Heng Wen, Hengxiu and Xiao Yan, leave it to you."
Xiao Yanning held her shoulders and said solemnly, "What are you doing out of the city?"
"You know. I'm also very afraid of being a widow and being laughed at by you." Rao Tu's tone was light.
Xiao Yanning sighed, "I'm joking... When are you going to go out?"
"tonight."
"Talked to the kids?"
"Not yet, I will tell them."
Xiao Yanning thought for a while, "Since you want to kill Murong Yun so much, I won't stop you, but I won't take care of those children for you."
Rao Tu said in a low voice, "Please stay in Jiangling City, Xie Tangyan's people will definitely come to Jiang Ying tonight, Nangong Yiwu can't handle it alone. This situation in Jiangling City requires you to take care of it. As for the children, They are all grown up, as long as Jiangling is not broken, the children will be fine.”
Xiao Yanning listened to her tone, and said angrily: "Don't make a suicide note for me here, I can do whatever I like, you don't need to arrange it."
Rao Tu turned around and left, Xiao Yanning called out, "Xu Heng!"
Rao Tu turned to look at him and smiled, "You call me Xu Heng?"
Xiao Yanning frowned slightly and was silent for a long time. After all, he let go of the hand that was holding her shoulders.
Rao Tu smiled. After walking out of the inn, she looked back at him who was standing in the inn, and said in her heart, "Xiao Yanning, I thought I didn't owe you anything, but now it seems that I still owe some love."
However, she is not anymore. After half her life, she no longer had the courage to live and die with Yan Bing. Born together, died together, so she insisted on going outside the city, she could not let Shen Zhu face Murong Yunheng alone.
She knew there was nothing she could do by going there, but at least face it with him.
She returned to the small courtyard, Xiao Yan and Heng Xiu squatted in the courtyard to play with the snow, Heng Wen took a dead branch and sketched on the snowy ground. Rao Tu alone called Heng Xiu to the room.
Heng Xiu blinked a pair of peach-blossom eyes that looked exactly like her mother's mother, and asked curiously, "Mother, why are you crying?"
Rao Tu said calmly, "Hengxiu, your father is fighting outside."
Heng Xiu let out an "oh" and took it for granted, "Don't worry, mother, father often goes to war, it's alright."
Rao Tu said with a smile: "Mother also hopes it's all right, but if your father is going to go out for a long time this time, mother will also accompany him. You and Hengwen have both grown up, be good, and take good care of Xiao Yantai, you know? ?"
Heng Xiu nodded and said, "Understood, but Dad won't go out for a long time. Many times in the past, Dad will come back soon."
Rao Tu said: "I hope my Axiu is right, and I can come back soon this time."
Heng Xiu asked, "Where's Xiao Yanning? Will he go?"
"Axiu, Xiao Yanning is your elder. You should call him Uncle Xiao. You can't call him by his name in the future."
Heng Xiu lowered his head and said, "But... but he doesn't care."
"What kind of person do you think Uncle Xiao is?"
Heng Xiu listened to Rao Tu's question, raised her eyes and said softly, "Uncle Xiao is a good person. Very good."
Rao Tu asked, "Where is he good?" She knew that many of the little girl's hazy feelings may not originate from Xiao Yanning, but from her charming imagination when her love was first opened. Maybe enlighten her to think about it carefully, and she won't have any unreasonable thoughts about Xiao Yanning.
When the little girl heard Rao Tu's question, her delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she was thinking about what Xiao Yanning was good at. Seeing that she couldn't say why for a long time, Rao Tu said softly, "Look, you can't think of him either..."
Heng Xiu interrupted her, "He likes his mother, the kind he likes very much, so he is very good."
Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the little girl to say this, "You... what did you say?"
"He likes his mother very much." Heng Xiu repeated in a low voice, although not loud, but very firm.
Rao Tu was a little unbelievable. She didn't believe that Heng Xiu could see Xiao Yanning's thoughts about her at a young age, "Did he tell you?"
Heng Xiu shook his head and said as it should be: "No, he always doesn't admit it, but I know."
Rao Tu took Heng Xiu's hand and whispered: "Uncle Xiao and his mother share the troubles and sorrows. We have experienced life and death together. If it weren't for your Uncle Xiao, I would not be able to give birth to you and Hengwen. I have always been very grateful to him. Kindness, so... So Uncle Xiao treats me a little differently naturally."
Heng Xiu's eyes were clear, she thought for a while after hearing the words, nodded and said: "I see, it turns out that this is the case, Uncle Xiao is not because of his mother's good looks, but because he shares weal and woe with his mother. I also want to be with my mother. Uncle Xiao shares weal and woe, and Uncle Xiao will also like me very much."
Rao Tu saw that she bluntly said what she thought, but she was frank and unashamed. She was startled, knowing that Heng Xiu still couldn't understand what love between men and women was, but she was eager to get Xiao Yanning's special affection for her mother.
She couldn't help feeling very troublesome. After thinking about it, she could only reluctantly say: "Do you know Xiao Yantai's mother?"
"I remember, it's Aunt Lu. She likes Xiao Yanning very much, but Xiao Yanning doesn't like her."
"Uncle Xiao is cruel and ruthless towards women he doesn't like, you know?"
Heng Xiu didn't care, "I know, I don't want to be nice to people I don't like, there's nothing wrong with it."
Rao Tu stared blankly at the little girl, she suddenly felt that this girl had the same temperament as Xiao Yanning, and she was cold. One day, if she understands May's feelings for her, what will she do to May?
Seeing Rao Tu froze, Heng Xiu reached out and rubbed her face, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"
Rao Tu came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Your brother May, treats you very well."
Heng Xiu nodded and said, "I know."
"Do you want to be with him forever?"
Heng Xiu pondered the question of Ratu, and murmured, "How far is it forever? I want to stay with Xiao Yanning forever, but brother May doesn't like Xiao Yanning, I can't be with brother May forever."
Rao Tu calmed her mind and didn't know what to do for a while. She found that Heng Xiu was really like Xiao Yanning, not only cool, but also reckless and reckless.
Heng Xiu raised her face and said, "Mother, didn't you say that Brother May is our eldest brother, I asked Daddy, only with the person you like can be together forever, brothers and sisters will be separated sooner or later, I like Xiao Yanning , I want to be with him forever."
When Rao Tu heard such a shocking declaration, her color changed, but she heard Nangong Yiwu in the courtyard lowered her voice: "Sister, someone is here."
Rao Tu got up and went to the courtyard. Seeing that Nangong Yiwu's clothes were tattered, she had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. She asked, "How many?"
"Eleven people, including ten experts and one rookie."
Rao Tu heard what he meant and asked, "That rookie is here too?"
Nangong Yiwu said with a smile: "Yes, I originally planned to capture the thief first, but the ten masters were too powerful, and I was no opponent, so I had to slip away first."
"General Jiang was not found, right?"
"Don't worry about me doing things." Nangong Yiwu patted his chest, "I can't find any mice that make holes in the church."
Rao Tu pondered: "Although Xie Tangyan's skill is not good, but the ghost pays too much attention, and he has a dog's nose if he can't keep it well, so he should hurry up and save the night."
"So I came to find you."
Rao Tu frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to find Xiao Yanning?"
"I was looking for him just now, but he said you begged him to go out of the city to rescue Shen Zhu, and let me come to you directly."
Rao Tu was shocked: "What? I beg him to go out of the city to rescue Shen Zhu?"
"Yeah, that's what he told me, he should be out of town by now."
Rao Tu stomped her feet, "Damn Xiao Yanning!"
"how?"
Rao Tu didn't have time to explain, so she was about to leave, but was stopped by Nangong Yiwu, "Sister, don't go after him, now that swallow is in the city, don't come again when you can't miss it."
Rao Tu was immediately in a dilemma, knowing that Xiao Yanning was deliberately looking at this opportunity to leave the city, so that she could not get away. She greeted Xiao Yanning's ancestors in her heart, stomped her feet and said, "Go and clean up Xie Tangyan first!"
Nangong Yiwu nodded and said, "Follow me, Xie Tangyan is still looking for Jiang Ying from alley to alley!"
"No, go directly to Mr. Jiang and lead Xie Tangyan out. I don't have that much time."
Heng Xiu was lying at the window listening to the conversation between her mother and Nangong Yiwu. Her little hand clung to the window, and after Rao Tu and Xie Tangyan went out, the little girl sneaked out of the yard.
Heng Wen sketched on the ground like a demon, suddenly stood up, and shouted, "I have it!" Looking up, Heng Xiu didn't know where to go, and Xiao Yantai asked, "Heng Wen, what do you have?"
Heng Wen said oddly, "Where's Axiu?"
"do not know."
Heng Wen stepped forward and took Xiao Yantai's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the Military and Political Office."
...
Rao Tu and Nangong Yiwu came outside the courtyard where Jiang Ying was, and both of them were taken aback. The two looked at each other, and without saying a word, turned down from the courtyard wall, only to see Jiang Ying holding a red ying gun in his hand, fighting with Xie Tangyan.
The red spear is especially bright in the snow. Jiang Ying shook a beautiful spear flower, forced Xie Tangyan back several steps, and shouted: "Xie Tangyan, don't hurry up and capture it!"
Xie Tangyan turned her head to catch a glimpse of Rao Tu and Nangong Yiwu, and scolded angrily: "The surnamed Jiang, I kindly came to save you, you hurt me so miserably!"
Jiang Ying snorted coldly, stepped forward with a spear, and forced Xie Tangyan to the foot of the wall. Xie Tangyan shouted, "What the hell are you waiting for? Are you waiting to collect the corpse for Lao Tzu?" When the voice fell, ten blue-clothed masters turned in from outside the wall and surrounded Jiang Ying.
Xie Tangyan said: "One person cleans up the surnamed Jiang, and the other nine entangle the pair of dogs and men."
Nangong Yiwu chuckled: "Dog men and women? Xie Tangyan, if you say this, are you not afraid of dying without a burial place?"
Rao Tu didn't talk nonsense. He stepped forward and kicked a blue-clothed man. The blue-clothed man only flipped a few times in the air, and then entangled Rao again, even ignoring his life and death. Jiang Ying looked back and saw that Nangong Yiwu and Rao Tu were surrounded by men in blue.
He was tired of dealing with the man in blue, and when he saw Xie Tangyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to run away, Jiang Ying snorted, "Xie, if you dare to leave, I will never see you again in this lifetime."
Xie Tangyan walked slowly, looked back at him, and smiled reluctantly: "If you don't see it, you won't see it, you fucking think I like to see you? If I didn't remember the love of the year, I would have killed you long ago."
Jiang Ying suddenly raised his spear and stabbed him in the chest, Xie Tangyan shouted, "Jiang Ying!"
After the spear pierced his chest several inches, he was held by the man in blue, and he was not allowed to advance half an inch. Jiang Ying's face was pale, and he said solemnly, "Go away!"
Xie Tangyan was in chaos, turning around and holding the long spear in Jiang Ying's hand, and was about to pull it out. Suddenly, his neck was cold, and a dagger pressed against his neck. Rao Tu stood behind him and said coldly, "Do you want him to die?"
Xie Tangyan completely ignored the dagger on his neck, covered the blood gushing out from Jiang Ying's chest, and yelled in exasperation, "If you wanted to die, you could have killed yourself long ago, why did you let me see it so sooner rather than later, and stab Laozi in the eye! "
Rao Tu said to the people in blue around him: "Your master is in my hands, if you don't want him to die, just retire for me."
The man in blue was hesitant, Jiang Ying trembled a few steps, fell to the ground, and was hugged by Xie Tangyan. Rao Tu looked at Xie Tangyan who was at a loss, and said to Nangong Yiwu: "Go spread the news, Xie Tangyan, the king of Shu, has been controlled by us, and let the Shu army outside the city surrender."
Nangong Yiwu said: "There is a fake Xie Tangyan in the Shu army. If there is no token, I am afraid no one will believe it."
Jiang Ying looked at Xie Tangyan fiercely, unable to speak, blood gushing from his chest, Xie Tangyan gritted his teeth, took out a tiger talisman from his arms and threw it to Nangong Yiwu.
Jiang Ying smiled miserably, closed his eyes, and breathed heavily. Xie Tangyan turned back to look at Rao Tu, Rao said: "General Jiang did not damage the heart, you can rest assured."
Xie Tangyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but saw Jiang Ying tremblingly holding the corner of his robe and making a "tear" sound.
Cut off the robe.
