Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The carriage compartment is a bit cramped, and even if two rows of seats are folded, it is only seven feet square. Fortunately, Su Yan and Jing Hongzhui are not particularly tall people, and when they lie down side by side, there is still a shoulder-width distance between them. Can be turned around.

Su Yan was full and sleepy just now, but now he was lying on the mat, but the drowsiness subsided, and he closed and opened his eyes in the darkness.

The orange light of the bonfire penetrated through the gap in the door curtain. He turned his face to look at the man lying beside him, and he could vaguely see the outline of the other's facial features.

Jing Hong chased and moved into the wall to make room for him.

Su Yan laughed lowly, his voice became more clear in the small and quiet space, flowing into people's hearts like a clear spring on a rock. "Come here, why do you keep shrinking against the wall," he said, "You practice gecko kung fu?"

Jing Hong chased and lay down in her clothes, crossed her arms and held the long sword in front of her chest, staring at the roof of the carriage, "It's okay, I can lie down."

Su Yan suddenly remembered something, took out an envelope from his pocket, and held it up in front of his eyes: "This is the letter you left me before going to Lingguang Temple. There is a line in the middle crossed out. What is it?"

Jing Hongzhui's breath was slightly stagnant, and she replied: "If you write a wrong word, it will be erased."

Su Yan didn't believe it, "No, I always feel that the meaning of the sentence is not coherent, and there must be something in between."

"'Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go...Great kindness and great virtue, I will repay you in the next life.'" He read out the contents of the letter and asked, "You are planning for the worst. But if you can come back alive, what will you do? How, why didn't you write it? Is this the one you erased?"

"..."

"Hey, my lord asked me a question, how can I not answer truthfully as a subordinate?"

He used his status to pressure others, Jing HongZhui could only confess: "Yes."

"What did you write before, tell me quickly, I'm so curious, I've been holding back for days."

"..."

Seeing that the other party was silent again, Su Yan thought he was being tricked, so he poked him in the chest with the corner of the envelope, and asked, "Hurry up, don't fool people!"

Jing Hongzhui was cornered by him, grabbed the envelope, put it into his arms, and said dryly: "I was in a state of confusion at the time, and the last words I wrote made adults laugh when I said them."

From his posture to the tone of his voice, he seemed to be a piece of scorched dead wood, but Su Yan could hear a little nervousness in his tone, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can talk about it, and I will listen to it, I don't count."

Jing Hong clenched the long sword that never left her body tightly, her palms were sweating a little.He said dryly and slowly: "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go. If the matter can be accomplished, there will be no regrets, and this life should belong to the adults; Report again."

Su Yan was stunned, chewing these two sentences in his heart, only to feel a soul-stirring affection revealed from the ordinary words, and the promise made by the other party was even more important than nine tripods.Even if it is smeared on paper, it will always be engraved in my heart.

That's why he waited for me on the official road outside the inn, determined to be my bodyguard... But Wei Jun is not dead, his revenge is not complete, is there really no regrets?

Su Yan put his arms behind his head, stared at the resolute side face of the other party in the darkness, and said softly: "I will definitely let you have no regrets. As for the words that have been erased, I just said them, and there are too many to do. A person's life is too long to be counted. It is long and too precious, no one else can take it away except himself.”

Jing Hongzhui remained silent.

Su Yan sighed slightly: "I know you are a person who promises a thousand gold. Do you know that Yu Jing in the Song Dynasty was one of the four admonishers in Qingli. He once said a word, and I deeply believe it-"No promises are not light, so I don't Don’t trust people, promises don’t trust me, old people don’t blame me’. You don’t promise lightly, I don’t trust promises lightly, so you and I can never owe each other, how good it is.”

Jing Hongzhui was still silent, and she didn't know if she understood what he meant.

Su Yan fell asleep in this long silence.

He vaguely heard a few words from the other party, passing by his ears like a dream: "This life...is driven...but not for..." His fingers moved subconsciously, as if he wanted to grasp this dream, but his consciousness melted away at this moment. Dreamland.

Early the next morning, Su Yan woke up to the chirping of morning birds, and found that there was no one around him.He rubbed his face, got dressed and got out of the car, and saw a copper basin filled with clear water and a towel placed on a flat bluestone beside the car, beside the campfire, Jing Hongchai was cooking a pot of fragrant and thick multigrain porridge, stirring it lightly with a wooden spoon .

Gao Shuo sat on the other side of the bonfire, staring at the carriage in a daze, the black and blue shadows under his eyes were quite conspicuous.

While washing his face, Su Yan smiled at him and said, "Didn't sleep well last night? Is there too many mosquitoes?"

How dare Gao Shuo say that he stayed up all night last night because he was always tense to listen to the movement in his carriage, fearing that his superior would be cuckolded by a gangster, so when asked face to face by Su Yan, he could only nod with a smirk: " Yes, I don’t know where so many mosquitoes come from, one after another is killed, there is no end.”

The ex-killer who was cooking the porridge snorted again.

Gao Shuo glared at him fiercely, and decided to write him down in the little book of Jin Yiwei's secret agent, and report back to Mr. Qian.

In fact, Su Yan didn't sleep well, nodded and said: "It's in the wild, there's no way. Next time we try not to sleep in the open, hurry up and go to the village inn to rest."

After the twelfth day of wearing stars and wearing moons, the group has entered the boundary of Shaanxi, not far from Yan'an Mansion.

After many days of traveling, the journey was full of dust and dust. Although I had bathed in the inns along the way, because of the scorching heat, the interior of the carriage was very stuffy. Su Yan was sweating again, and fanned desperately with a folding fan, but it was still a drop in the bucket.He drank the scalding water in the leather pouch, and couldn't help but miss the ice buckets and frozen fruits in the capital.

At noon, the scorching sun in the mountain depression was blazing, and even the Jinyiwei Tiqi couldn't bear it.In order to prevent heatstroke, the leader Chu Yuan asked Su Yan if he could take an hour's rest in the nearby woods to avoid the sun.

Su Yan couldn't wait, so he ordered to turn off the official road, stop the carriage at the edge of the dense forest, and the group hid in the shade of the trees, drinking water and resting.

The trees in the forest were noisy, Su Yan thought it was noisy, walked a hundred steps, and saw a lake not far away, and could still hear the sound of water, as if there was a waterfall nearby.Su Yan regained his energy immediately, went back to the car to get a change of clothes, and said to Jing Hong, "I'm going to take a bath in the lake."

Jing Hong chased immediately and said: "This subordinate will help you watch out for the wind."

Su Yan laughed: "What's the wind? I'm not a big girl, so I'm afraid of being peeped when I take a shower?" In the open bathroom of the school in the previous life, a dozen or twenty big men squeezed into one room to take a bath. People are used to it, and it's convenient to rub each other's backs. He greeted each other: "Why don't you take a suit too, and let's go to the lake together."

Jing Hong chased for a moment, subconsciously refused: "No need."

"It's up to you. I grew up by the river, and the water quality is not bad. If you are still worried, just watch by the lake, catch a few fish along the way, and make fish soup later in the evening."

As Su Yan said, he found a rock suitable for storing clothes on the shore, and began to undo his bun and undress.

He moved very nimbly, and took off his single shirt in a blink of an eye, revealing his white shoulders and back, his sweaty skin under the sun was as crystal clear as jade, and he bent down and began to take off his white silk trousers.

Jing Hongzhui hurriedly turned around, heard the sound of splashing into the water, turned her head just now, and saw white stripes looming between the blue waves.With good eyesight, he recognized right away that this was the waist and hip, and that was the thigh. His eyes were even more palpitating, and he turned awkwardly around the corner of the rock, picking up a handful of broken stones in his hand.

He squinted to look at the sparkling lake surface, and the gravel suddenly popped out between his fingers, and then a fish surfaced with its white belly turned over.Using fingers as bows and stones as bullets, one stone and one fish is a true example, not long after a dozen fish floated by the lake.

Jing Hong chased the long sword out of its sheath, and paddled towards the surface of the water. Under the agitation of the sword, the water splashed high, and landed on the bank with the stunned fish.

He was worried about Su Yan, and turned out of the corner of the rock to look at the lake, only to see that Su Yan had swam to the vicinity of the waterfall, and waved to him from a distance, signaling him to go down the lake too.

Jing Hongzhui shook her head and refused, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, thinking that Mr. Su is a young man after all, so let him play for a while.

Back on the grass full of fish, he broke a few wicker sticks, pierced the fish mouths one by one, strung them into two heavy strings, and hung them on the nearby branches.After doing this, he turned back to the lake, only to find that Su Yan on the lake was gone.

Perhaps diving to the bottom to catch fish and shrimp?He waited patiently for a moment, but there was still no one, and his expression changed drastically.

Only a few locals know that there is a cave behind Yingzuishan Waterfall. It is a large cave with magical craftsmanship, and a winding and hidden path in the depths is a shortcut to the mountainside.

Wang Wu and Wang Liu walked out of the path, waded through the cave full of puddles, passed through the waterfall and entered the water, just about to swim across the lake.Wang Liu jerked his brother's arm and shouted in a low voice, "Look, there's a little girl in the lake!"

Wang Wudao: "Where can a woman come from in the barren mountains? I'm afraid it's not a wild monster."

After all, I also looked intently and saw that on the lake not far away, the woman was treading water with her back to them, her satin-like black hair couldn't cover her fine flesh, and the shoulders exposed from the strands of hair seemed to be made of snow. .

Naturally, men and women can't be seen from half of the back, but they have never seen a man who can be so white, so they think it is a woman, and the origin is unknown, which is strange.

The two brothers winked at each other, dived and swam quietly, grabbed each other's ankle from behind, and pulled it down violently.

Su Yan was caught off guard and was dragged into the lake, choking on a big mouthful of water.His neck was strangled by a thick arm again, and he was pulled back not too far before the torrent of the waterfall poured down from the top of his head, knocking him dizzy.

Being dragged into the cave and laid down on the wet rocks, he coughed until his face was full of tears and his lungs were about to spit out.

When Wang Liu saw his chest and legs, Wu Lei said with a bang, "...it's actually a man!"

Wang Wu also showed regret: "It's actually a man."

Su Yan finally stopped coughing, wiped the water from his face, and looked up at the two psychopaths who suddenly appeared and dragged him away.

I saw that the two were dressed in bunts, with linen trousers on their lower bodies and a sleeveless short jacket with double breasts on their upper body, exposing their well-defined chest and abdomen muscles and two strong arms. Their skin was tanned dark brown.

These two people are probably brothers, about 26 or [-] years old, their faces are somewhat similar, they both have thick eyebrows and big eyes, their cheeks are shaved black, and they look rough and tough.They all have flowers tattooed on their arms, like a tiger or a leopard, I don't know what kind of pattern it is, but the position is different, one is on the left arm and the other is on the right arm.

Su Yan looked at their looks and attire, and suspected that they were bandits or horse thieves. He regretted swimming too far from the shore, and dragged Jing Hong into the water without chasing Jing Hong.

He glanced at the waterfall out of the corner of his eye, wondering if if he shouted for help here, could the sound pass through the rumbling water curtain and reach the opposite lake shore... Well, it is absolutely impossible, unless he has practiced the Shaolin Master Lion Roar work.

Wang Liu squatted down, stared at his face, and asked with a strong accent, "Who are you, what is your family's business, and what are you doing in Yingzui Mountain?"

Su Yan pulled out a gentle and shy smile, "Xiaosheng is from the capital, and his family is a tenant tenant. He can barely support Xiaosheng to finish his studies. This time, he followed the caravan to visit relatives in Yan'an Mansion, Shaanxi. , if you have no intention of disturbing the two heroes, please forgive me."

Wang Liu poohed: "It turned out to be a sour ding. I thought it was a vixen in the mountains, and I was happy for nothing."

Su Yan cursed inwardly: You are the vixen!You are all vixens!

The face became more harmless to humans and animals: "Hero, Xiaosheng is really indecent without an inch of body. Can you allow me to swim back to the lake and dress neatly before asking questions? Master said, don't look at injustice, don't listen to injustice, don't speak inappropriate, Don't do anything wrong..."

Wang Liu got a headache from his "Zi Yu Fei Fei", waved his hands and said, "Go, go, get dressed and get out! This Yingzui Mountain has a radius of ten miles, we are all ringing—"

Wang Wu coughed dryly and said, "Since it's irrelevant, let's go quickly."

Su Yan cupped his hands, pretending to be in a hurry, stepping on the puddles with one foot deep and the other shallow, and walked towards the waterfall.

Wang Liu got up resentfully, but saw his brother staring at the naked back of Suan Ding. He also took a look, muttering "what's so good, it's not a woman", but couldn't help but look twice more.

Seeing that he was about to get out of the waterfall, Wang Wu suddenly shouted: "Stop!" He rushed over in two or three steps, grabbed Su Yan's wrist, groped for the palm of his fingers, lifted his leg, and looked at the sole of his foot.

Su Yan slipped on one foot and almost fell on the rock. He exclaimed and grabbed the short coat of the other party, stabbed it, and tore the weak suture on the shoulder.

The short gown on Wang Wu's body became half of a shawl, and Su Yan grabbed the other half that was hanging down. Seeing that the back of his head was about to hit the ground, Wang Liuyan quickly stretched out his arms from behind and grabbed his neck.

Su Yan grabbed his arm instead, turned over and got up, heaving a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your help, otherwise Xiaosheng will have a bloody head."

Wang Wu snorted: "Thank you! You bastard, if you don't tell the truth, you are very cunning! I have never seen a tenant farmer in my family. His hands and feet are so smooth that not even half a callus grows. It is clearly pampered Brother son, the family is either rich or an official."

Wang Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Su Yan again, and said with a smile: "What a fat sheep!"

Su Yan's scalp was numb, and he wanted to say something more, but Wang Wu slashed the back of his neck with a knife, and immediately passed out.

Wang Liu hugged his limp body by the waist, carried it on his shoulders effortlessly, and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

Wang Wu said: "Go back to the stockade first, wake up and ask to see how much oil and water there is."

The two immediately returned along the same road.

A moment later, a figure flew in from outside the waterfall.

Jing Hong searched all over the lake and the bottom of the lake, but she couldn't see Su Yan. Finally, she turned her suspicious eyes to the waterfall. After throwing a stone, she found that there was a space behind her. She broke through the water and found this cave.

He squatted down, carefully inspected the rocky ground, looked for clues from the damp everywhere, and soon found a hidden path in the depths of the cave. After confirming that Su Yan was taken away, he went in with a cold face filled with rage and anger.

In the woods by the lake, the Ti riders had almost rested and were ready to call the carriage to move on.Chu Yuan went around in a circle, but he didn't see Su Yan and Jing Hong chasing him, so he asked everyone in surprise, "Where did anyone see Mr. Su?"

Everyone shook their heads.Su Xiaobei said: "Your Excellency went back to the carriage to get a set of clothes. I think he went to take a bath in the lake. Wu...Brother Jing Hong is with you, so it should be fine."

"It's time to leave, otherwise we won't be able to enter the city in time before nightfall." Chu Yuan frowned, "Who's going to look for it by the lake?"

"I! I'll go!" Gao Shuo responded immediately, wondering why the two big men took so long to take a bath, a mandarin duck bath?

He raised the knife, and with righteous indignation to catch the traitor for Shangguan, he walked quickly towards the lake.

On the hillside not far away, a large group of men in rough clothes on horseback were closely watching the movement in the forest.One of them asked the leader: "Do you want to do it? 22 horses and two cars are a big deal!"

The leader said humanely: "They are all leading guys. They seem to have good skills, but hard points are tough."

"No matter how hard it is, there are only one or twenty people. We have two hundred or so brothers here, are we afraid that we can't be crushed?" a big man said.

"...The second head of the family hasn't come back yet, so don't wait any longer and listen to them." Another burly man suggested.

The first one urged: "I'm afraid I didn't come back so soon. If I miss this village, this shop will disappear. Brother Yang, please make up your mind first!"

The leader hesitated for a moment, and saw that everyone in the forest started to get up and lead their horses, as if they were about to leave, and he was heartbroken, and ordered: "Shoot the loud arrows, do it!"

An arrow with a sharp whistle pierced the sky.

Chu Yuan turned around following the sound, and saw a group of cavalry rushing down the hillside. Although they were dressed in different clothes and had various weapons, they were very skilled in bow and horse. A wave of gangsters came to his face, and he immediately shouted: "Prepare for battle! It's a bandit! "
