Chang'an [Rebirth]

From Chang'an to the South China Sea is downstream, otherwise the speed will slow down. The ship Chai Zheng is a warship allocated, which is larger than the merchant ship hired by Kuanyuan before. The escorts are all from the South China Sea Navy, a total of 32 people. In addition, Gu Hensheng and Zhang Xingzhong were also there, Kuanyuan stayed in Tongzhou City to treat his injuries, and his brothers were also around, Chai Zheng didn't want to break up their decades-old relationship.

Another advantage of this ship is that the largest cabin can be converted into a stable. Changshou, as an earth pony who can show off his prestige on the shore, has begun to feel connected with Gu Hensheng in the past two days.

Chai Zheng is going to Chang'an City, and Ruan Linshuang is also coming to the South China Sea. Ruan Linshuang's boat is nothing special. Zhao Linlang is afraid that little Ruan will be recognized and there will be any danger on the way, so this boat is so ordinary that it can be found in the dock. No, and Yuansi was also worried about his daughter-in-law, so he always followed...

Mei Xueyun and Zheng Qinghe, the two biggest hidden dangers, have never been seen. I thought that Zhao Qian would send them to assassinate Zhao Linlang, so Ruan Linshuang went to provoke Zhao Qian in advance. She attracted all the resentment. It's safe, not to mention that in a real fight, the eldest princess can last a long time, even if Mei Xueyun is crazy, she should remember that this is a child raised by her alone.

Even if Chai Zheng passed by Ruan Linshuang, Ruan Linshuang would still be able to see Chai Zheng among thousands of people. Her warship is too ostentatious. Who deserves such treatment? Go to Chang'an.

Finally, on the sixth day of Chai Zheng's departure and the second day of Ruan Linshuang's departure, the two ships met head-on on the calm river.

The wind blew around the green cliffs and brought moisture to her face. Chai Zheng was wrapped in clothes and stood at the bow of the boat. When she heard the sound of the piano from a distance, her heart suddenly moved, and she knew that the ordinary boat was carrying her heart. man of.

Ruan Linshuang was much thinner than she remembered, with blue gauze wrapped around her long white dress. When someone came to report that the young man had boarded the ship, she didn't move. She just lowered her eyebrows and smiled and said, "Please come in."

The person who notified was Chai Zheng, and the person who came in was also Chai Zheng.

The two of them are fine, after parting these days, one is paler than the other, as if they finally met each other after going through a catastrophe.

"Xiao Ruan," Chai Zheng stood in front of the curtain, she couldn't say she was overjoyed, but suddenly she felt a sense of landing, she looked at Ruan Linshuang, "It's like three autumns since we don't see each other every day, so now we can be regarded as white husbands reunited, right? "

Ruan Linshuang's fingers were still brushing on the strings, she raised her head, her eyes were full of zithers, "It's not nice to meet Bai Prime Minister, we still have a long time to spend together, we will be together after a hundred years."

"That's it," Chai Zheng narrowed his eyes, "I still want to marry you as my wife, and I want to carry eight sedan chairs to carry you past Zhao Yan."

"Small belly." Ruan Linshuang had nothing to do with her, "Is the medicine good? Why do you look so bad?"

Chai Zheng was afraid that Xiao Ruan would find out that she had specially dressed up and put on rouge before boarding the boat. Being exposed like this, Chai Zheng decided to play tricks. She pulled up her cloak and sat next to Xiao Ruan, wrapping Ruan Linshuang in her arms, "and said Me, you are sick too, the hands that just played the piano were shaking, what happened?"

Chai Zheng whispered in Ruan Linshuang's ear, "Little Ruan, we are almost going to grow old together. You have to learn to rely on me, but you can't lie to me... You once said that if I die from serious injuries and you are left alone, you will die We will never see each other again from life to life, so today I also swear that we will live together for six years, if Xiao Ruan still feels that everything can be hidden from me, then we should abandon each other, and there is no need to be suspicious and tormented by each other."

For so many years, Chai Zheng has never said anything serious. Ruan Linshuang wanted to face it alone, so she hid it secretly, and tried not to intervene as much as possible. It's like a threat, but it's like asking for a promise from yourself, a promise that you have to give if you want to be together, otherwise years of love will be wiped out, it's better to separate when the love for each other is strong.

"Chai Zheng," Ruan Linshuang kissed the back of her ear, "I've been poisoned, it's 'Long Worry', there's not much antidote left...I won't live long."

Chai Zheng didn't move for a long time, she hugged Ruan Linshuang, the 16-year-old Xiao Ruan was still pumping, her figure was thin, and when she pressed her fingers on her spine, she could feel the interlocking bones. Lost to rely on, dangling in the air.

"Don't be afraid," Chai Zheng said softly, "We have lived long enough. Many children in troubled times don't have these days with us. Today, the world is peaceful, and the revenge will be avenged. My parents will be able to spend the rest of their lives. Bringing Uncle Ruan to depend on each other, it's just that my brother has to take on an extra responsibility."

She took Ruan Linshuang's fingertips and continued, "It is said that you can go to the ground when your wish is fulfilled. You and I have no regrets in this life. I will go with you."

"Chai Zheng," Ruan Linshuang's voice was full of water vapor, "I have regrets... I want to be with you for a long time, we finally got together, finally met Haiyan Heqing, I just want to be with you for a long time now .”

"Then I'll bring Dr. Zhang here now!" Chai Zheng was not stupid. Xiao Ruan didn't feel any hope after saying so many depressing words, which meant that Dr. Zhang's medical skills might not be able to do anything.

Sure enough, Chai Zheng was dragged back by Ruan Linshuang before he got up, "Don't worry, I still have some antidote, let Doctor Zhang rest too, he has been tortured a lot because of us these days."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Chai Zheng smiled, "We will go south or north by boat, and the scenery along the way can be seen slowly, Xiao Ruan, I am here, and I will never be separated from you from now on."

There is indeed a beautiful scenery on the river. The sounds of apes on both sides of the bank are hidden on the cliffs, and the water birds are startled by the fish. I also saw lanterns being set off, and the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles were covered by five-color lanterns staying in the air, and one fell into the arms of Chai Zheng, with the words "I wish to have one heart and one mind, and the white head will not be separated".

Ruan Linshuang is well-educated, and often speaks of an allusion, and Chai Zheng will talk about it if he can make peace with him, and occasionally covers Xiao Ruan's mouth, asking her to simply praise "excellent" or "good-looking".

Chai Zheng's injury is recovering, but Ruan Linshuang is getting weaker day by day, and finally she can't even touch the qin. Chai Zheng is only proficient in the latter three of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting". I also learned the piano, but the strings broke twice in three days, and the piano couldn't bear it, so I stopped playing it as soon as I got started.

Ruan Linshuang said that he wanted to hear it, but he couldn't move his poor body. Then he lowered his eyebrows and looked at Chai Zheng without saying a word, so the little general began to pick up his lost skills overnight, playing cotton alive for several hours. The people who were tortured by her were so cruel that they knelt in a row at the door, begging her to show mercy.

The days are noisy, plain and noisy, and it is almost impossible to see that the two ancestors are rushing to seek death.

In a blink of an eye, there were only the last two antidote for Changyou, one of which was crushed by Zhang Xingzhong and studied repeatedly. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the doctor was, he couldn't tell which antidote was used in the pill that was as big as the little finger. , it is even more difficult to accurately grasp the dosage, so Zhang Xingzhong put the crushed medicine in a small cup, and said apologetically, "Swallowing it as a powder and water will not affect the properties of the medicine."

So even the last bit of hope was extinguished.

Because I was not in a hurry, the boat traveled very slowly, and occasionally I would stop at the shore to buy things or just join in the fun. The boat sailed for many days but did not arrive at Suzhou Mansion, and was still wandering on the river.

Since it is summer, it will inevitably rain, but Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang's luck is very good. There are small winds and waves. One side is always bright and sometimes dark, even if the lights are not turned on, you can see each other's eyebrows clearly.

The wind and rain of half a lifetime seemed to stop there, and only a stable life remained in the future.

Chai Zheng carried Xiao Ruan out of the inner room, and sat with her on the deck. The air on the river was warm and humid, and Ruan Linshuang was very energetic, but "long worry" was a physical torture. Chai Zheng knew that if Xiao Ruan moved, he would I will feel exhausted from the bottom of my heart. Even after taking medicine, I can hold it back at first, but "long worry" is special. Only the antidote for the last ten days is the real detoxification. It is not good to treat.

Ruan Linshuang was always a piece of ice in the past, and she had to relax a lot in front of Chai Zheng, but it would also hurt people. Mutual support with Xiao Ruan is achieved, but there is a little less tenderness.

But in the past few days, Ruan Linshuang seemed to be a different person. She would play tricks on Chai Zheng, suddenly talk about her youth, talk about Chai Zheng who was young and bad-tempered, and wanted to tease Chai Zheng when she saw her, and talk about long-ago love. Heartbroken, he muttered about what he ate when he was young, and he didn't ask Chai Zheng to buy it. He just lowered his head and described it carefully. The gluttons of the two of them squirmed together, and they could eat it after an hour or two.

Even Yuansi felt that his daughter-in-law was much naive. He really thought that someone was born with the material to do great things, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

The moon has been round since the fifteenth day, and today the sixteenth day is still bright and full of rivers.

It wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Chai Zheng had a plate of small mooncakes the size of eyes, which Ruan Linshuang wanted to eat. She said, "Before my father got sick in my previous life, during the reunion festival, my family would buy or make mooncakes for a few months. I have never eaten it before, and I have been separated often in this life, and I dare not see the full moon or eat moon cakes, for fear that I will be sad, but now I have a chance."

Chai Zheng was full of displeasure, "I've been by your side for so many years, isn't that considered a reunion?"

Ruan Linshuang could hear her displeasure, but she still shook her head furiously, "Chai Zheng, you are in my heart, we will always be together and never be separated, only when we are separated can we be reunited."

"Then who are you going to reunite with?" Chai Zheng asked softly, "I am here, everyone is here, scattered in this vast expanse of mountains and rivers, those people in the previous life will no longer meet you, they will have a better life, you Stay here and don't part from me."

"Xiao Ruan, think about me, you remember me well, I can die with you, but I don't want you to die, reincarnation is not my life in the next life, I have no confidence to find you."

The people on the boat seemed to be afraid of disturbing the two little girls, so they held the lamps from a distance and did not come here.

Chai Zheng hugged Xiao Ruan even tighter. Apart from the sound of the wind and waves, she also heard a hidden movement, piercing to the bone, like a long sword facing the sky on the bright moon river.

The hairs all over Chai Zheng's body stood on end. If it was Mei Xueyun who came, she would not be able to fight against her in her current state. Her injuries are recovering, but the old illness needs to be recuperated slowly, and Doctor Zhang can't help it. It was cured with just one dose of medicine, and he also told Chai Zheng not to fight with others for a month or two.

The silent sword energy can only be detected by experts. Ruan Linshuang is not an expert, but she knows Chai Zheng well enough. The sudden tension made Chai Zheng's whole body tense, and she even lowered her tone of voice, so Ruan Linshuang asked , "Is Senior Mei here?"

Chai Zheng nodded slowly.

She didn't know whether her master had been hiding in the cabin for so long, or she boarded the ship when she docked at the pier two days ago. In short, Mei Xueyun didn't want to be discovered, even Yuansi didn't notice her. exist.

At this time, Mei Xueyun suddenly appeared, of course she didn't want to eat mooncakes or hang her shoulders to enjoy the moon together, she is already a lunatic living in the past, the moon will not be cloudy or sunny for the rest of her life.

She is here to kill.

Two days ago when the ship docked at the pier, the news of Zhao Qian's defeat had spread all over the city. It was said that the eldest princess was holding the jade seal of the country and the imperial edict, which was the orthodox inheritance of the emperor, and the woman in white who was always by Zhao Qian's side pulled off her veil and veil, The hidden collusion was fully explained, and Zhao Qian never refuted it, acquiescing to the transactions with Mu Sang over the years.

Even the sixteen prefectures in Mobei are bargaining chips for the deal. Mu Sang conspired with Beijue, but Dajing wanted Dajing to send them out of Mobei. These sixteen states were Zhao Qian's bargaining chips in exchange for Mu Sang's red-eyed priest.

In addition, Li Duan also produced evidence that Zhao Qian murdered the late emperor, and even the old queen told the truth... Chai Zheng thought she knew all these things, but when she was resting in the teahouse, she heard someone say From the beginning, the reason why the old lady's illness did not decrease, and the more it was treated, the more serious it was, was because the imperial hospital, under Zhao Qian's instructions, mixed with cold things every time it was decocted, and the filial son wanted his mother to shut up forever.

Before the chaos broke out in the DPRK, the eldest princess rectified the forces of all parties with the momentum of thunder, so the following state capitals were not affected, and they lived as usual.

Maybe it was Zhao Qian's conviction that stimulated Mei Xueyun, or Zhao Qian had told her to use it as a nickname, and Mei Xueyun appeared at this time.

"Little Ruan." Chai Zheng was unarmed, she reacted quickly, pulled out the plate under the small moon cake and smashed it, and took the largest piece to protect Ruan Linshuang, Ruan Linshuang sighed regretfully, "My moon cake!" .”

The commotion caused by Mei Xueyun was too great, Yuan Si in the cabin closed his eyes and meditated suddenly opened his eyes, the sword and the knife collided in the boat in a way invisible to the naked eye, Yuan Si quickly appeared in front of Mei Xueyun, however This movement made Yuan Si feel that something was wrong, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage, but part of the internal energy is sealed in the dantian, like the pores stimulated by ice water in summer, uncomfortable but not fatal.

This is being drugged... It's just medicine, not poison. Dr. Zhang has been making medicated meals in different ways these days.

It is also to blame that this country is too comfortable, and there is no sense of crisis in life.

And following Yuansi on the deck, there is also a forbidden soldier wearing armor. Compared with others, this forbidden soldier is not small but too weak. The steel helmet covers half of his head, and the rest of his facial features are hidden. In the dark, if one wanted to hide deliberately, no one would notice the excess of the forbidden army on board plus the South China Sea Navy's 80 to [-] people, and the security was heavily guarded during non-wartime.

He appeared together with Mei Xueyun, and he was dressed in an unbelievable attire. He wanted to know that this was Zheng Qinghe who had been dressed in disguise.

Chai Zheng still couldn't figure out where Zheng Qinghe's loyalty to Zhao Qian came from. For the sake of glory and wealth, Zhao Qian is already a sinner who can't turn himself around. It's not even about repaying his kindness. His father was killed by Zhao Qian Well, Zhao Qian's offering him to study is at best a debt repayment, not a kindness at all.

So what is Zheng Qinghe trying to figure out? Zhao Qian looks like a father?

It's true, Zhao Qian didn't treat his own son as well as Zheng Qinghe.

"I do know what Zheng Qinghe is trying to do." Ruan Linshuang spoke, she was very weak, but her voice was not low, like the wind on the river, gentle and gentle, but it could also stir up waves and cover the boat.

She seemed to be talking small things to Chai Zheng, but Zheng Qinghe heard every word and every word.

"Killing my father and my enemy has treated me as much as a mountain, and I have admired and accompanied me for so many years. I have already planned for myself in my heart. How can I be worthy of this kind of favor? Zheng Qinghe started this kind of favor when he was very young. Mind, Zhao Qian has been his code of conduct for so many years."

Ruan Linshuang spoke very slowly, "Suddenly, overnight, he suddenly discovered that killing his father and enemies is what he admires most. If he turns around at this time, it will be equivalent to overturning his previous ten years of life. If he is willing, he can start over again. , It’s not too late, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t want to. If he doesn’t want to, he can only continue to make mistakes, as long as he doesn’t admit that Zhao Qian is his enemy, the tower he built with all his energy will not fall, and what he loves and hates will be meaningful.”

She sighed, "This is called self-deception."

Zheng Qinghe's face was ferocious, and he was firmly poked by Ruan Linshuang.

But the current situation is delicate, Zheng Qinghe knew that Yuan Si was the most powerful person on the ship, only he could deal with Mei Xueyun, but this also meant that Yuan Si was very difficult to get close to, Zheng Qinghe had been lurking on the ship for many days, Numerous chances of poisoning, Ruan Linshuang's meals were taken care of by someone else, and Yuan Si was not afraid of most of the toxins. To prevent himself from being exposed, Zheng Qinghe didn't dare to hit hard directly.

As Yuan Si expected, Zheng Qinghe’s medicines are all tonics, which usually have no effect. Once he is lucky, he will feel his pubic region being closed. If it is forced, the blood in his whole body will not be able to bear it. At Yuan Si’s age, he will die because he eats too well For appetite.

Although Yuan Si can't do his best, he won't turn into a paper tiger in an instant. He may be able to compete with Mei Xueyun by teaming up with Chai Zheng.

There is a tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice, but when Chai Zheng moves, Zheng Qinghe will attack Xiao Ruan!

The eternal dilemma, the master and the daughter-in-law are in danger at the same time, which one should be saved first?Chai Zheng originally thought that she would not have such troubles, but it turned out that people were not as good as heaven, and all the eyes on the deck were all focused on her.

Chai Zheng didn't move, because she looked down at Ruan Linshuang, and found that he was smiling, the kind of smug smile that teased her.

Only at these times, Chai Zheng would feel that Xiao Ruan is only sixteen or seventeen years old in this life, and that the calmness in his bones is just pretending, and there will be times when he can't hide his youthful spirit.

"Zheng Qinghe, you underestimate my Miss Ruan too much." Chai Zheng also laughed, the corners of her eyes slightly curved, "Xiao Ruan, what bad idea are you holding back?"

Ruan Linshuang didn't speak, she motioned Chai Zheng to stretch out her hand, and took out a square red box from her sleeve. The box was so big that Chai Zheng could hold it with two hands, although Zheng Qinghe didn't know what kind of relationship between Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang There is a tacit understanding, but as a person who does bad things, he is very vigilant. He rushed forward to snatch the box and shouted, "Senior Mei, what are you waiting for, don't forget your agreement with Your Majesty!"

Mei Xueyun doesn't like her younger generation talking to her in such a tone. Even if she is a madman with no idea, she is also a proud madman. Even when Zhao Qian is in power, everyone in the world has to address her as "Master", even if Mei Xueyun never granted him any ability, the phrase "Master" was called for his own sister.

So Zheng Qing was in a hurry, but Mei Xueyun remained motionless, she wanted to know what was in the box.

Mei Xueyun is a threat, Zheng Qinghe is not, he has the true biography of Zhao Qian, he is such a conspiratorial master, at this time he is only a firefly under the wings of a roc, seeing that Mei Xueyun did not keep up, he can only rush halfway, and stop angrily down.

He knew that he was not Chai Zheng's opponent, if it wasn't for Mei Xueyun's face, Chai Zheng would have killed such a scourge of black and white long ago under the sword.

As soon as Chai Zheng touched the box, her face changed slightly. While trying to open it, she asked Ruan Linshuang, "How did you get it?"

Inside the box was a round and moist pearl, a South Sea pearl—it was the pearl under the jaw of a dragon that Lu Wanfeng went to the bottom of the sea to salvage.

Lu Wanfeng died in Mei Xueyun's hands. At that time, Mei Xueyun's spirit was not normal, and she harbored hatred for Lu Wanfeng. After Lu Wanfeng died, this South Sea Pearl fell into Zhao Qian's hands , It took so many years to finally see the light of day.

Ruan Linshuang was coughed twice by the wind, and she said to Chai Zheng, "I learned from you, thieves don't leave empty space, it's rare to go to the palace, and I always feel disadvantaged if I don't bring something with me when I leave."

So she shoved this treasure out.

Mei Xueyun seemed to be attracted all her attention by this gigantic bead. Her life was so legendary and rough that Yuan Si couldn't compare to it. Chai Zheng handed out the box with both hands, "It was originally a senior's thing, and now I give it back to you." senior."

After a stalemate for a while, Mei Xueyun didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. Seeing this thing again, her expression instantly appeared contented and detached.

Years of grievances and resentments have not been untied...how can the knot with the dead be untied, but it is suddenly let go.

It's not her fault, and it's not Lu Wanfeng's fault either. Back then, people were so arrogant and arrogant that they couldn't learn to trust. They thought it would be a long time, and they would stumble forever. Who knows that life and death are just a flash, and she needs Lu Wan the most. When it was windy, Lu Wanfeng thought that the South Sea Pearl would make her happy.

People's hearts are separated by belly, who can guess who?

"Senior, can I ask you a question?" Ruan Linshuang asked softly.

Mei Xueyun seemed to have returned to normal in an instant. She was not the half-human, half-ghost in the court who talked to herself, and even the obsessive madness just now disappeared. She looked back and gave Ruan Linshuang a faint look. "Same poison as you."

According to the book, Changyou is not easy to refine, and it needs the cooperation of bronze tripods. The richest family and the most powerful doctor can only refine three at a time, and there are not many occasions that can be used. In the end, these people will either understand The medicine, or they are all dead, Ruan Linshuang asked again, "Have you ever taken the antidote?"

Mei Xueyun shook her head very slowly.
