teardrops

The last Yaksha fell in front of him, and Zhan Zhao retracted the Emperor Zhu sword into its scabbard.I didn't expect to meet these monsters here.Feng Yi is dead, who ordered them to come to the world?What are they trying to do?

Puzzled in his heart, he saw that the man he had rescued passed out, was hit by a sword on his shoulder, and was deeply wounded, so he hurried forward to check his injury.

When I got to him, I saw half of his sleeve tightly clenched in his hand, which seemed familiar.Looking again, it was stained with a little blood, not like the man's body.

Zhan Zhao was startled, isn't this her sleeve?He pulled the sleeve out of the man's hand with a little force, and looked carefully, yes, the sapphire blue brilliance flowed on it, the texture was soft and silky, this was Rui'er's clothes!The blood on it... is hers?His heart tightened, where is she?hurt?Why did half a sleeve remain in this man's hand?

Zhan Zhao stood up and looked around, the moonlight was shining on the surrounding farmland, the breeze was blowing, and there was no one in sight.He was confused.

The man let out a deep moan while in a coma, Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and quickly touched several acupuncture points on his chest, stopped the bleeding for him, and hurriedly bandaged his wound, the man was still unconscious, Zhan Zhao was full of anxiety and wanted to track down Rui'er, but seeing that this man might be in danger of life if he was not treated properly, he had to take Ao Shuang with one hand, help him onto the horse's back, and whip him away.

Rui'er walked alone in the pitch black, as if there was a flame burning in her body, she was so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.His footsteps seemed to be filled with lead, but he didn't have any strength. He still gritted his teeth and walked, wanting to go far, away from there...

Which direction is Kaifeng in?She didn't know, she just moved in one direction until a little fire appeared in front of her eyes, what was that?It seems that there is a family?It was dark before his eyes, and he fell to the ground.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a small bed. After trying to raise her breath, she found that the power of the Fire Dragon Ball had calmed down, but she still had no spiritual power.

Sitting beside her was a white-haired old woman with a kind face and shabby clothes. Seeing her open her eyes, a smile appeared on her face.

"Son, you're awake!"

Rui'er sat up in panic: "Where is this?"

The old woman's expression is still kind: "This is my family, my surname is Han, a farmer in the countryside. My child, you have been robbed, right? Your clothes have been torn like this." Rui'er looked at herself, suddenly embarrassed Unceasingly: The clothes are disheveled, the hair is messy, half of the sleeves are gone, and one shoulder and arm are exposed. She can't help but blush, and hastily covered her body with her long hair.Looking around, the house is small and dilapidated, only Han family is inside.

Mrs. Han said softly: "My child, you fainted outside my house, and I will bring you back. Don't be afraid, there is only an old lady in my house." Rui'er felt relieved when she heard the words, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. I went to the capital alone. I didn’t expect to encounter robbers on the road, so I managed to escape.” After speaking, recalling all the previous scenes, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Han comforted her, "Son, I'll wrap up the wound on your back for you. You should drink some porridge and rest early. It won't be too late for you to go on your way after the injury recovers in two days." A bowl of hot porridge.

Rui'er took it with both hands. The journey has gone through hardships, and she didn't even have a good meal.This clear gruel exudes the aroma of rice. After taking a sip, a sense of warmth surged in my stomach.

As the sky was approaching dawn, Zhan Zhao brought the unconscious Lu Liang to Dongming County, found an inn to stay in, and found a doctor to decoct the medicine for him.Although he was anxious to find Ruier's whereabouts, Lu Liang couldn't leave her alone.

Maybe after he wakes up, he can get news of Rui'er from him, he comforted himself.Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he paced up and down in the guest room, looking back at Lu Liang who was lying motionless on the bed from time to time.When the sun was setting, he thought anxiously, this person has not woken up, why not hand him over to the local government, and go look for Rui'er by himself.But in this way, it will delay a lot of time and have to get out.While hesitating, he saw the man wake up slowly and slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as Lu Liang opened his eyes, he saw the heroic young man who rescued him yesterday standing on his bedside, his brows furrowed tightly like swords, his eyes as deep as a cold pool, and unconcealable anxiety overflowed his face.Seeing him waking up, the young man in blue stepped forward, grabbed half of his sleeve and asked, "You're awake. Who are you? Where is the owner of this clothes?"

Lu Liangshang was still in shock, when he saw Rui'er's sleeve, his clumsy tongue froze immediately: "I...I..." Zhan Zhao realized that he had lost his composure, so he slowed down and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Zhan Zhao."

Lu Liang was startled, the person in front of him was the famous Nan Xia, the Zhan guard of the Kaifeng Mansion, he was relieved, and said: "Lord Zhan, I'm just a ferryman."

Pausing for a while, he said again: "My name is Lu Liang, this dress..." My heart suddenly froze on the spot like a thunderbolt: Mr. Zhan... She read it like this in a coma... Could it be this person in front of her? ?

Looking up, the young man in blue has an extraordinary aura, his facial features are perfect, but there is no hint of femininity, his face is full of masculinity, his figure is slender, his figure is tall and straight, he really matches her...

He felt ashamed of himself, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, and thought of his rudeness to her, so ashamed and afraid, he couldn't say a word.

Zhan Zhao saw that his complexion turned blue and white, and knew that there must be something hidden in it. In a panic, he twisted his collar and almost lifted him up: "Where is she, how is she?" In desperation, Unknowingly using his internal force, Lu Liang felt a strong force coming from him, his neck got stuck, he was almost suffocated, and his hands and feet struggled again and again.

As soon as Zhan Zhao said the words, he regretted that he was so impulsive, completely lost his usual calmness, and slowly let go of his hand, turning his head away.Lu Liang blushed, coughed again and again, and was terrified in his heart. After a while, he ruthlessly turned over and got off the bed and knelt down in front of Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, I'm not human, I'm not as good as a beast...Miss Qin ……gone……"

Zhan Zhao was startled and looked back at him.Lu Liang tremblingly told Zhan Zhao everything that happened when he and Lu Ping met the unconscious Rui'er by the Yellow River and after that, when he talked about belittled Rui'er in the carriage, his face turned purple, Speech is also confused.Zhan Zhao's face darkened, but he didn't speak.After he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao slowly asked, "Which direction did she go?"

"South..." Lu Liang spat out two words with difficulty.

Zhan Zhao took out an ingot of silver from his bosom, stuffed it into Lu Liang's hand, and said, "Keep it to recuperate, and go home early." After saying that, he turned and went out, the blue clothes flashed by, and he left the inn without looking back.

At dawn, Rui'er recovered a little bit of energy, and was anxious to continue on her way.Seeing that she couldn't stay, Mrs. Han said, "Son, how are you going on the road like this?"

Rui'er remembered that she was naked and her face was reddish, Han said again: "Son, you were born so fresh, it's dangerous to walk alone. The old woman has a son who died of illness early, his stature is about the same as yours. If you don't mind, just wear the clothes he left behind, pretend to be a young man, and walk more peacefully."

Rui'er agreed in her heart and thanked her endlessly. Han took out a set of gray coarse cloth clothes and put them on for her, and helped her tie up her long hair with a headband. The chest was tightly bound when the wound on her back was bandaged.Han said with a smile: "This is a handsome young man!"

Rui'er was very grateful in her heart, and after asking about the way to Kaifeng, she bid farewell to the Han family and prepared to go on the road.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the hut, Rui'er was startled: there was a man in black standing at the door!With his face covered, he couldn't see his face clearly, and could feel the cold eyes staring at him presumptuously.

Rui'er blocked Han Shi behind with one hand, quickly pulled out the dagger with the other hand, and stared at the person vigilantly, Han Shi was also startled.Rui'er whispered: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Han, don't move behind me."

The man in black didn't step forward, but just took out a beautiful long sword and waved it at Rui'er.Rui'er's face turned pale: that was Ao Huan's sword.She shouted at the man in black: "Where is my brother? What do you want?"

The gloomy voice of the man in black came: "He is in our hands, if you want to save him, go to Dezhou Qingxiao Pavilion to find our master."

"Who is your master?" she asked anxiously.

"Our master's surname is Song. If you don't come within seven days, hehe...you are ready to collect his body!" The man in black turned around and ran away, leaving behind a gloomy sentence.

When the man disappeared from sight, Han still hadn't recovered.Rui'er felt that these yakshas behaved strangely, but they did not behave like Feng Yi.But the imperial brother's sword is in the hands of the other party, it is very likely that it is still related to Feng Yi, if the imperial brother is in their hands, I wonder if it is safe?After thinking for a while, his expression was a little flustered, and he said hastily: "Ms. Han, I'm going to save my brother. How do I get to Dezhou from here?"

Han settled down, and said: "Walk more than ten li to the east and you will reach the wharf. Take a boat down the Yellow River, and you will arrive there in just one day and one night." Then he said, "Who are these people? My son, you How can one person save your brother?"

Rui'er whispered: "Aunt Han, I'm sorry that I can't tell you the details. I have to leave immediately, otherwise those people will kill you and hurt you. Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Don't pass Han Shi now, and leave in a hurry.

Once on the main road, he headed eastward.After walking a few miles, I felt exhausted again and gasped for breath.But seeing a town appeared in front of her eyes, she remembered that she was penniless.I found a pawnshop, pawned off the last pearl, exchanged it for a few hundred taels of silver, and then exchanged it for gold and some loose silver. After asking around in the town, I learned that the ferry is less than one mile away from the town. The place on the road, regardless of being weak and tired, hurried to go.

Han watched Rui'er leave, sighed secretly, and went back to her farming work.After working in the field until it was getting dark, he was about to call it a day and go home when he saw a man galloping towards him. When he raised his eyes, his eyes could no longer move: the white horse is as handsome as snow, and the man on the horse stares like water. Handsome and clear, heroic.

Someone came to tighten the reins, the white horse let out a long howl, Han's eyes blurred, the man had turned over and got off the horse, so fast that people couldn't see the movement clearly.The man cupped his hands and asked Han Shi: "Excuse me, ma'am, have you seen a wounded girl in blue here since yesterday?"

Han Shi saw that although the man was dusty and dusty, his brows and eyes were full of anxiety, but he was still gentle and polite, and he was amiable.I couldn't help letting go of my vigilance, and asked: "My old lady has indeed seen a girl in blue clothes, I don't know who you are?"

The man's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said sincerely: "I am a member of the Gongmen, that girl is in danger. I must find her whereabouts and protect her."

Seeing what he said, Mrs. Han could not help but believe it in her heart, when she saw that there was a dignified and upright air in his speech and demeanor, which was not like a gangster at all.Immediately, she told him everything about her meeting Rui'er and the man in black.

The man listened, thanked him again and again, got on his horse and galloped away in the direction Han Shi pointed out.

When the person gradually disappeared from sight, Han murmured: "Oh, why did I forget to tell this official! I pretended that girl as a young man, so don't miss it if you don't recognize her!" It's good!"

Zhan Zhao asked around and finally got news of Rui'er, but he didn't feel at ease.Counting the time now, if she set off in the morning, she would probably have boarded the boat at the ferry by now, so she could only get on the boat as soon as possible and go to Dezhou to find her.Now he is even more puzzled, since Feng Yi is dead, and Ao Huan was also killed in Longtan, who is going to trick Ruier to Dezhou?What is the purpose of that person?What kind of danger would Ruier encounter if he was one step late and Rui'er fell into their hands?Thinking of this, my heart tightened again.

Ao Shuang seemed to sense what was on his mind, and with a long hiss, she sped up her speed and galloped forward. Looking from a distance, it looked like a white horse passing by on the path.

In less than a meal, Zhan Zhao came to the edge of the ferry.After getting off the horse and asking, because it was getting late, many ships had already set sail and left, and there was only one cargo ship carrying rice and coarse grains left on the ferry to go to Dezhou. He hurriedly found the boss of the ship and asked to take a boat all the way.

The boss of the boat showed a look of embarrassment: "Young master, our boat originally had several cabins, but they were all full. We really can't fit any more!"

Zhan Zhao just asked at the pier that the Yellow River has been in autumn floods for the past few days, and there will be no boats sailing from tomorrow. Remembering that he really can't afford to waste time, he begged again: "Boatman, I do have an urgent matter related to my life. I make a wish If you pay double the fare, please make sure the boatman is convenient."

The boss of the ship rolled his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, there was a half-empty passenger cabin on the ship, but it was taken by another young brother. He said he was unwell and didn't want to live with others. One room. How about this, I will go and beg that little brother, if he is willing to live with you, young master, you can go with us, otherwise I have no other choice!"

Zhan Zhao said: "Then there will be Lao Chuan." The boss of the boat nodded, turned and went into the cabin.

It is said that it is none other than Ruier who has booked the entire cabin.After Lu Liang's incident, she couldn't help being wary of strange men.Even though he was wearing men's clothes, he still didn't want to share a room with others, so he paid twice the price to book the entire cabin.

She was resting in the cabin, secretly lucky, and found that she still had no spiritual power, and had traveled a lot during the day, and now her hands and feet were weak and tired, and she couldn't help feeling secretly depressed.But I heard the boss of the boat knocking on the door and asking: "Have you slept, brother?"

She managed to raise her strength and asked, "What's the matter?" The ship's boss stammered about the fact that there was someone on the shore who wanted to live in the same cabin as her.She couldn't help getting angry when she heard this: "I paid you double the money, just to make it quiet. You still want to carry people again, it's too greedy."

The boss of the boat kept making amends, and said: "Brother, don't blame me for being greedy for money. That young master seems to be a gentleman, and he also has an urgent matter that is life-threatening, so I came to ask my brother. As the saying goes, saving a life wins." It’s convenient for my little brother to build a seven-level pagoda.”

Rui'er felt a little soft, and said: "That's fine. Just tell that person that I like to be quiet and I don't want to disturb you at night." The boat boss Dalian responded repeatedly.He found another large piece of cloth and hung it up to divide the cabin into two sides.Seeing this, Rui'er felt at ease.

After a while, I heard someone coming in from the cabin, but didn't say a word, just sat silently by the bed, the hull shook, as if it was sailing.Seeing that the man was really undisturbed, she let go of her vigilance.Continuing to use the Daoist heart method to control the true qi wandering in the meridian, and slowly gather in the dantian. After a while, it was still in vain. I couldn't help but sighed secretly, blew out the candle, lay down gently, and prepared to go to bed .
