Confidante Saisuke

The night is long, Shangguan Wan'er feels that the day is longer and the night is longer.Reading books is boring, playing the piano is impetuous, and viewing flowers is not in the mood at all.I just find it boring to do anything.Counting the days, it will take eight or nine days on the road, and I have to have a good get-together with those people when I go back. I don't know if I can celebrate the New Year in Luoyang.He also said that 500 plum trees have been collected in Shanglinyuan. Who knows if they can catch up with the plum blossoms this year.

Shangguan Wan'er stayed in the mansion for two days, and went to the street on the third day.Listening to the cries of shopkeepers one after another, Shangguan Wan'er finally felt less anxious.After shopping around the street, I went to the lake for a walk. Seeing that the sun was almost noon, I decided to go back.When he was approaching the entrance of the alley, he saw Zuo Yunfei walking slowly by the side of the road, looking at the alley from time to time.Shangguan Wan'er roughly guessed why he was here, but since she bumped into him, she couldn't avoid it, so she went up to greet him.Zuo Yunfei turned around in surprise, saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er, and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng, what a coincidence. I was going to work elsewhere, and I passed by here, but I happened to run into you." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and asked "Is Mr. Zuo's business done? My house is here. If you don't mind, Mr. Zuo, you can have a cup of tea at home." Zuo Yunfei smiled and said: "It's over, then I'll bother Miss Zheng."

Along the way, Zuo Yunfei told Shangguan Wan'er what he had seen and heard in other places.It turns out that Zuo Yunfei likes to travel, and has traveled almost all over the country.This was the life Shangguan Wan'er longed for, so she listened with gusto and asked some questions casually.Zuo Yunfei saw that Shangguan Wan'er was interested, and he talked even more eloquently.When the two of them were about to reach the main room, Shangguan Wan'er remembered something and asked, "Master Zuo, did you come to my house that night, did you not encounter any obstacles?" Zuo Yunfei coughed blushingly and said "Why not. I thought your servants were just ordinary servants. I didn't know that kung fu was so powerful that they almost killed me. Later, I reported that I was Miss Zheng's friend, and they let me go." Shangguan Wan Er smiled slightly, but did not speak.

When they arrived at the main room, the maid served tea, and the two continued to chat about the scenery of various places.Zuo Yunfei saw that Shangguan Wan'er was full of interest, and tentatively said: "Does Miss Zheng also like to travel around? Zuo feels that life is only a few dozen years, and if you don't see it everywhere, you will not live up to the great river and mountains." Shangguan Wan'er She smiled and shook her head: "My husband is an official in the court, so she can't leave Luoyang at will." Zuo Yunfei paused, and after a while he asked: "Since Miss Zheng's husband is in Luoyang, why am I in Shu? Last time I heard from Miss Zheng that Miss Zheng's husband did not formally marry Miss Zheng into the family, if that is the case, why is he called her husband?" Zuo Yunfei asked very recklessly, but Shangguan Wan'er happened to be a straightforward person, She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the conversation between the two, but Wu Zhao's status did not allow her to speak out, so she said vaguely: "This matter is a long story." Just in time, the maid came in and asked if dinner was served, so she took the opportunity to change the topic. go.

During the meal, Zuo Yunfei didn't see Wu Zhao, and after asking Shangguan Wan'er, he found out that Wu Zhao had returned to Luoyang, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.He remembered Shangguan Wan'er saying that she married into Wu Zhao's family.No matter how much he despised etiquette, he did not dare to come and go with other people's daughter-in-law in front of his mother-in-law's family.Secretly, he also wondered why his in-laws accepted Shangguan Wan'er since he was not married.Coupled with Shangguan Wan'er's secrecy today, he guessed there was something secret in it.Now seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was left alone in Shu, one might suspect that Shangguan Wan'er was under some kind of coercion.This Zuo Yunfei was originally a son of a famous family in the world, he was good at fighting injustices on weekdays, and he had feelings for Shangguan Wan'er, so he couldn't let go, and secretly vowed to save Shangguan Wan'er from the fire pit.

So, from then on, Zuo Yunfei either came to visit, or asked Shangguan Wan'er to go out to swim in the lake and enjoy the moon.At first, Shangguan Wan'er felt that it was inappropriate for Guadatian Lixia to get too close to Zuo Yunfei, but later she found that Zuo Yunfei was just chatting like a friend, without any overly polite words or actions, so she felt relieved.In all fairness, Zuo Yunfei is indeed worth making friends with.He behaves chicly and freely, speaks eloquently, is full of knowledge, and has traveled all over the world with extensive knowledge.Chatting with Zuo Yunfei often reminded Shangguan Wan'er of Li Xuancheng, who made people feel enlightened.Compared with Li Xuancheng's mastery and solidity, Zuo Yunfei has more dexterity and humor, which makes Shangguan Wan'er feel more cordial.

Seeing that half a month had passed, Wu Zhao hadn't sent anyone yet.Shangguan Wan'er was a little flustered, and she didn't want to take the initiative to ask for a letter, so she could only hold back.Zuo Yunfei saw Weizhi's work, and saw that Shangguan Wan'er was not in a good mood, and said that there are some flowers on the nearby mountain that are blooming very well, so he can go and have a look.Shangguan Wan'er didn't want to just sit and think wildly, so she made an appointment with Zuo Yunfei to watch it together.

On this day, Shangguan Wan'er took the food she had ordered the maid to prepare earlier in the morning, and went to the place they had agreed upon by herself, and saw Zuo Yunfei was already waiting there.After the two met, they walked up the mountain.There are many mountains in Shu, and Shangguan Wan'er has been to several of them, but she happened to have never been to the one Zuo Yunfei mentioned, so she was a little curious.

The two talked happily along the way, talking and laughing and then came to the mountain.It turned out that clumps of orchids were blooming.Or white, or yellow, or purple, tall and short, all different.It is not a rare species, but it is just such an ordinary orchid that blooms on the side of the mountain, which has a special charm compared to the rare and precious species that are carefully cared for by others.Zuo Yunfei watched Shangguan Wan'er standing still in front of the orchids, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, the orchids here are certainly good, but there is a more special flower in front." So it wasn't these flowers.Shangguan Wan'er smiled, got up and followed Zuo Yunfei to continue walking.

Zuo Yunfei walked and said: "I have been running in the mountains for the past few years, and I found that the more exotic flowers and plants are, the more they can only be seen in inaccessible places. Flowers that everyone can see, no matter how expensive they are, are still common. It can’t be called rare.” Shangguan Wan’er remembered that Wu Zhao told her before that snow lotus is a flower that grows on the high mountains of Nanzhao. It is extremely rare and can only be found on cliffs. cliff.It was only later that I realized that there are so many things in the snow lotus wine.

"It's here." Zuo Yunfei led Shangguan Wan'er to the back of a boulder.I saw a crack in the stone, and two small flowers grew out of it.Shangguan Wan'er was astonished, she looked closely, and saw two double white flowers with very thin stems, which could be snapped off with two fingers.The two flowers trembled and swayed in the wind. "How can there be flowers growing in the stone?" Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to look at Zuo Yunfei.Zuo Yunfei shook his head: "I don't know either." Seeing the two flowers being extremely weak yet extremely strong, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help stretching out her hand, wanting to touch them.At this time, Zuo Yunfei said: "I originally wanted to take them back and raise them by myself, but I was afraid that they would not be able to live without this stone, so I didn't dare to move them. I just wanted to see if they were in good condition after a while. Flowers are fragile in the first place. It's even more dangerous to grow up in this kind of place." Shangguan Wan'er withdrew her hand and sighed: "Yes. Fortunately, there are two flowers."

After watching the flowers, the two returned to the hillside beyond the orchid grass to eat the food brought by Shangguan Wan'er, while looking at the distant scenery.At this moment, footsteps were heard on the road.Because the footsteps were very light, Shangguan Wan'er thought they were passers-by, but Zuo Yunfei heard that there were many people with martial arts skills.Seeing the bareness around me, not having a place to hide, and not having time to go to the other side, I sat down and went with the flow.

When all the visitors showed up, Zuo Yunfei pretended to glance casually, but saw an acquaintance, so he got up and walked over: "Uncle Wei." An old man in the crowd raised his head, his face full of surprise: "Little six, you Why are you here?" Zuo Yunfei laughed and said, "I was walking around and happened to stay here for a few days. I didn't expect to see my uncle here." The old man was about to walk out of the crowd when someone called out: "Shangguan Wan Son." Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing far away, heard someone calling her name, looked over, and saw a person looking at her through gritted teeth, she was dazed, but didn't recognize who it was.

The man suddenly flew out from the crowd, drew his sword in mid-air and stabbed at Shangguan Wan'er.This was a surprise, Zuo Yunfei hurriedly stopped her in front of Shangguan Wan'er, and they fought together.Someone in the crowd shouted again: "Brother Zhang, is this woman really Shangguan Wan'er?" The person who was fighting with Zuo Yunfei responded: "That's her. I must kill her today." They exchanged glances, drew their swords and rushed to Shangguan Wan'er.Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly turned around and ran behind the mountain.At this time, two people jumped out from behind the mountain, one pulled Shangguan Wan'er and ran away, and the other stayed behind to confront the enemy.

The two of them only had time to turn around the hillside, and someone was already chasing after them.Hearing the voices from behind getting closer, the person who was running with Shangguan Wan'er stopped and said, "Girl, run, I will stay behind for a while. No matter where you are, hide first, as long as it is dark and no one is seen, the people in the mansion I will come to find the girl." After finishing speaking, she rushed out without waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to reply.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to look back, she just ran forward.Suddenly I heard a cry from behind: "I saw her, she is in front. Everyone, hurry up." It's over.Shangguan Wan'er felt her feet go weak, and rolled down the slope until she was stopped by a tree.Regardless of the pain all over her body, Shangguan Wan'er gritted her teeth and stood up, when a figure fell from the sky, which startled Shangguan Wan'er.It turned out to be Zuo Yunfei.Zuo Yunfei grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's wrist: "You are Shangguan Wan'er? Isn't your surname Zheng?" Shangguan Wan'er's wrist was painfully pinched by Zuo Yunfei. Seeing someone walking down the slope, she quickly shook her hand: "Let me go." Zuo Yunfei shouted loudly: "Who the hell are you?" Shangguan Wan'er struggled hard: "I'm Shangguan Wan'er. Let me go." Zuo Yunfei's strength suddenly increased, and the pain was so painful Shangguan Wan'er called out.Zuo Yunfei chuckled sneeringly: "I was thinking that the matchmaker is getting married, welcomes you in, and gives you a dignified status. I didn't expect you to be Shangguan Wan'er. You shameless woman." Shangguan Wan'er didn't care what he said , only struggling to pull out the wrist.Zuo Yunfei swung it vigorously, and Shangguan Wan'er flew out, hit a tree, and fell heavily to the ground.Shangguan Wan'er still struggled to get up, ignoring her internal organs as if they were on fire.She still has to go to see His Majesty, she can't die here, she must run away.

Shangguan Wan'er stumbled and ran a few steps, her throat felt sweet, she vomited a mouthful of blood, she was about to faint when her eyes were dark, she quickly pinched the tiger's mouth, and kept telling herself: Don't fall, run quickly, don't let them catch you.However, after walking a few steps, his legs gave way and he fell down.Shangguan Wan'er cried out, hating herself for being so useless.Crawling forward while crying.Suddenly she was kicked on the body, Shangguan Wan'er was in so much pain that she screamed.I only heard someone sneer and said: "Shangguan Wan'er, I also tell you to die. I am the Tianzimen and advocate Cangshui. The old witch sent people to burn my wife and children alive, and I also burned her daughter to death. Petting to death, let her taste the pain." After finishing speaking, she kicked again.Shangguan Wan'er endured the pain and did not make a sound.At this time, someone said: "Brother Zhang, the little prince said that Shangguan Wan'er is a good card to blackmail that temptress, which is of great benefit to our troubles. It's all right for Brother Zhang to beat her to vent his anger, remember." If you save her life, the little prince will still use her."

Zhang Cangshui turned back with a smile: "What? I thought that if I cooperated with you once, I would be your servant. You even commanded me. Let me tell you, I must kill this woman today. Whoever dares to stop me, whoever I see Who to kill." After speaking, she turned around and saw Shangguan Wan'er climbed a few more steps, stepped forward and kicked again.There were a few people who wanted to stop Zhang Cangshui, and immediately hit another place.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't care what was behind her, she just kept crawling forward.However, after finally climbing to the end, it turned out to be a cliff.God wants to kill me.Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes in despair.Zuo Yunfei walked up to her, knelt down and said, "Shangguan Wan'er, as long as you agree to be with me in the future, I can take you away and marry you in." Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and glanced at Zuo Yunfei, smiling Said: "I told you early in the morning that I already have a husband. Mr. Zuo should choose another spouse." Zuo Yunfei slowly stood up and said: "You are only alive to be tortured, why don't I send you on your way, Let you walk more comfortably." After speaking, he kicked Shangguan Wan'er off the cliff.

Wu Zhao felt a little headache looking at the memorial on the table.Tubo went south, Turks invaded the east, and Khitan rebelled in the north.Li Tang's remnants were ready to move again.The Great Zhou Dynasty was almost full of wars.

At this time, Song Zhaohua asked to see him outside.Wu Zhao closed the memorial casually, stood up and said, "Biography."

Song Zhaohua entered the door and saw Wu Zhao standing by the window with a cup of tea, he didn't know how to speak for a moment.Wu Zhao turned around and asked, "What's the trouble again?" Song Zhaohua knelt down and said for a long time, "Bazhou came to report that Wan'er met a thief on the mountain and fell into the cliff while escaping." Wu Zhao was startled and said angrily. "How do you take care of the people around you? Kill them all." Then asked: "How is she hurt? Send the imperial doctor to go to Bazhou immediately." Song Zhaohua didn't dare to answer.Wu Zhao's heart sank, and he put the teacup on the table: "What's wrong with her?" Song Zhaohua lowered his head and replied, "There is a big river under the cliff. The guards only found a piece of Wan'er's clothes on a tree in the middle of the cliff. Cloth." However, Shangguan Wan'er can't swim.

After not seeing Wu Zhao speak for a long time, Song Zhaohua looked up.With the candlelight behind Wu Zhao's face, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

After a while, Wu Zhao's calm voice sounded: "Go and find out who did it." Song Zhaohua stood up and backed away slowly.Wu Zhao asked the maid to call Wu Tuan'er.Wu Tuan'er entered the hall, seeing Wu Zhao's calm face, he didn't dare to do anything wrong, and asked cautiously, "What is your majesty's order?" Wu Zhao said, "Call Cheng Kejin." Then, Song Zhaohua had to be bypassed.Wu Tuan'er looked up in surprise, seeing that there was no expression on Wu Zhao's face, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly backed away.

After hearing the guard's report, Cheng Kejin immediately changed into the guard's clothes and came to Wu Zhao's hall.Wu Zhao didn't say much, and said straight to the point: "You also met Wan'er, she disappeared in Bazhou a few days ago, you go and find out what's going on." After a pause, he said, "I want to meet people, To die is to see the corpse." Cheng Kejin took the order.Wu Zhao said again: "You don't need to let irrelevant people know about this matter. From now on, you will submit your secret letter directly to me." Cheng Kejin's heart moved, and he still respectfully accepted the order.
