Peach Blossom Button

Unlike before, in the exceptionally deep darkness, there was silence.

Only when the quiet darkness was dispelled by the crescendo of sunlight, Tao Mo slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.The sharp sword with the black scabbard was placed beside the bed together with the neatly stacked clothes, but Tao Mo didn't move his eyes to them. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the side, but it was in vain.The dazed hand hung in the air for a while, then retracted, he covered his eyes with this hand, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

The morning sun shines into the house through the window lattice, reflecting the brilliance of the jade wares placed on the shelf, the wind outside the window shakes the shadows of the trees, and the birds standing on the branches flap their wings and sing crisply.

This is in Prince Chengjing's mansion.Yesterday the three of them drove to the palace with Li Miaomiao, as soon as they arrived, King Chengjing came to greet them in person and made room for the three of them in the palace.Regarding what happened to the three of them that day, the Ninth Prince didn't ask any more questions, but he just ordered his servants and advised the three people in the world to rest more.

In this short day, Tao Mo was a little overwhelmed by the many incidents that happened one after another.Pain, doubts, anger, and deep-rooted hatred merged and intertwined in his heart, almost tearing his heart apart.

But Bai Wangyan's indifferent smile, the awe-inspiring sneer of the man in black armor... none of them appeared in Tao Mo's dream.In his dream, there was only a vast darkness, not even barrenness.He thought he would dream of Bai Wangyan, or the dead night that was burned by the fire many years ago.

But now he can't dream of anything.Probably because I have dreamed too much for a long time and I am tired.

Tao Mo stretched out his hand and held the peach blossom button around his neck in his palm.This jade carved in the shape of a flower bud is nothing more than a handicraft with exquisite craftsmanship. How could it be the "No. [-] secret key in the world" recorded in "Thousand Machine Records"?He is just an ordinary person in an ordinary village, so how could he get involved in this vortex of power disputes unintentionally?Even in this precarious arena, the only person he could confide in was actually approaching him with a purpose.

Why must it be him?

Tao Mo spread his hands, looking at the exquisite key in his palm, his eyes sank.Bai Wangyan, no, Yue Yayan had already had a complete showdown with him, this blow to the head completely woke up Tao Mo, who had been indulging in tender love.As early as when he went down the mountain, there was no way out...

Suddenly, the window was slammed open, causing the birds in the tree to scatter, and the mad Taoist with messy hair squeezed into the window, and excitedly shouted to Tao Mo who was still sitting on the bed: "Brother Tao, are you awake?" !"

Tao Mo hung his hand holding the peach button in front of his chest, and nodded blankly.

Seeing Tao Mo's answer, Lou Yueming immediately grinned and said, "Then come out quickly, let's do two tricks first!"

"It's about discussing important matters." Tan Taiying's voice came from behind Lou Yueming, and immediately after, the noisy mad Taoist priest was dragged away from the window by Master Shenjian Shaogu.

"It's about our going to Taohuayuan," Tan Taiying pulled Lou Yueming away, and gestured to Tao Mo in the room, "After you get dressed, come to Jingmingtang."

"To Peach Blossom Spring?" Tao Mo frowned, his face full of doubts.

Tantaiying raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you going?"

"I'm going," Tao Mo frowned, "but what are you going to do?"

"Brother Tao, how could you do this? Didn't you agree to bring me one! It's not interesting!"

"The corridor chief is right," Tantaiying sighed after finally pressing down on Lou Yueming who started to make trouble again, "You are too mean, anyway, it's a fateful friendship, how can you be a brother?" Let you kill it single-handedly?"

"However, there is no need to trouble you." Tao Mo said calmly, still tightly clutching the peach button in his hand. Saying so, he lifted the quilt and stood up, reaching out to pick up the robe.

Tan Taiying watched Tao Mo put on his robe, but did not rush to speak.In the process of getting along with Tao Mo, he has already figured out this person's stubborn character.Tao Mo, a man of few words, seems to be indifferent to everything. He usually forgets what to say, but in fact, he never backs down on things he believes in. He is typically dull and has his own ideas.

"But Brother Tao, do you know how many soldiers and horses the Third Prince and the others have, and when will they go to the Peach Blossom Spring?" The young master of Shenjian Valley knew clearly that if he wanted to persuade this person, he had to use his own advantages. .Tan Taiying took a step forward, put his hand on the window frame, and said seriously to the absent-minded Tao Mo: "You keep saying that you want to destroy the killers of Shuangyue Pavilion, but you alone can't even say whether you can find them. The Shuangyue Pavilion killers have always been surreptitious, if you wait for them to make a special trip to kill you, you may have already put yourself in a doomed situation!"

"I'll check it out myself."

"Brother Tao! Why do you insist on rejecting us thousands of miles away!" Seeing Tao Mo raised his leg and was about to leave, Tantai Ying raised her voice and asked, "We treat you as a brother, why do you insist on taking other people's faults? Punish us?"

Tao Mo stopped in his tracks, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Tantai Ying, with shock and anger in his eyes.And Tan Taiying also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and coughed twice.But at this moment, Lou Yueming slammed Tan Taiying away from the window again. The mad Taoist became angry and put his hands on the window frame, yelling, "Your surname is Tao, you really took your good intentions for granted." Donkey liver and lungs! I'll forget it, Master Tantai Shaogu heard that you were in trouble, and came to the imperial capital to look for you. Do you really think he came here for some "purple light meteorite"? And that girl Li, I tried my best to get you out of the prison... The Ninth Prince, the majestic prince, let you hide in the palace and help you track down the news everywhere in order to protect you, a Jianghu man who is chased by killers everywhere!"

"If you want to die alone now, it's too bad! I, Lou Yueming, look down on you from the bottom of my heart!"

The mad Taoist blushed and had a thick neck when he scolded, Tan Taiying was trying to stop him, so he didn't rush into the house to fight Tao Mo, but just cursed furiously in front of the window, without panting.

At first, Tao Mo was angry when Tantai Ying said it, but when it was Lou Yueming's turn to scold him, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from his head, suddenly reducing his anger.He stood where he was, the hostility that was about to rush out of his throat dissipated immediately, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

What Tan Taiying said is correct, he is using the anger of being betrayed by the person he loves the most to vent his anger on his best friend, he cannot be called a "knight" at all.His family was wiped out when he was young, his teacher's family was destroyed when he was young, since he left the mountain, thanks to the support of friends like Tan Taiying and Lou Yueming, he did not end up being unaccompanied when he was betrayed.

After all, this world is a world with friends.

"I was wrong," Tao Mo said in a low voice, "You are right, it is my narrow-mindedness...that made you friends feel sad." The black-clothed swordsman suddenly saluted the two people in front of the window: "I have offended you just now, please help me on this trip to the Peach Blossom Spring!"

Lou Yueming's hand hanging in the air, hesitated for a moment, and finally let it hang down, the mad Taoist scratched his messy hair vigorously, his eyes wandered: "Actually... even if you don't let us go, we will follow behind. "

"Actually, the poor Taoist just wanted to scold you, to relieve his anger." The crazy Taoist added, "Seeing how depressed you are, it's really annoying!"

Seeing that Tao Mo finally figured it out, Tantai Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and raised his voice to Tao Mo in the room: "Brother Tao, see you at Jing Mingtang! It just so happens that an acquaintance also wants to see you."

"acquaintance?"

As soon as Tao Mo walked to the side of Jingming Hall, he heard a very familiar female voice.

"My family's sacred object was taken by the gangsters, and its whereabouts have been unknown before. After tracing, now I finally got the exact whereabouts. This Peach Blossom Spring... please let the little girl go with me."

Just when Tao Mo was hesitating whether to enter the door, someone suddenly patted his shoulder lightly. Li Miaomiao gave Tao Mo a strange look: "Why are you standing outside the door?"

At this time, the guards who heard the sound hurried forward to greet him: "Young Master Tao, the lord is here to invite you."

In the Jingming Hall, the saintess of Miaojiang in exotic costumes stood in the room, facing the Ninth Prince in ordinary clothes, as if they were discussing something.Seeing Tao Mo, Li Miaomiao and others entered the room with the guards, Asha's face suddenly showed excitement. She first glanced at Tantai Ying with a shy face, and then smiled at Tao Mo: "Tao Shaoxia, we meet again!"
