Spring and Autumn GL

54. Willow Gate

For the past three days, Fu Chai has stayed behind closed doors. He regrets that he did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice to kill Goujian and destroy the Yue Kingdom. Instead, he killed Wu Zixu, a loyal minister.Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, he could not pursue it, but he really didn't know how to deal with Bo Pi.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were locked in the same cell, and the partition wall was Bo Pi.The daily meals of the three are steamed buns and pickles, which is quite good, because the famine in Wu country is severe this year, and the price of food has skyrocketed. Ordinary people have long been unable to eat three meals.

"What do you think about this incident?" Xi Shi held the steamed bun in one hand, and ate the chopsticks with the other, as if the steamed bun was something rare.

Zheng Dan didn't answer, but just sneered: "Look at you, how can you eat a steamed bun so delicious?"

Xi Shi said: "Fragrant, why not fragrant, now my heart is at ease, I haven't been so at ease in many years!"

"You still learned from Azhi, and you speak like a mountain."

Xi Shi wiped her mouth: "Don't interrupt, tell me, do you think we can live?"

Zheng Dan said: "Based on what I know about Fu Chai, we're probably fine, but thinking about the past, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Fu Chai is also a wise man, and Bo Pi gave him three days to think about it, so there is a reason for him. . I think Fu Chai will think a little bit, and he will be able to weigh whether face is more important or Wu Guo is more important."

"If you can come out, have you decided to tell everything about Yue?"

Zheng Dan took a bite of the steamed bun and shook his head: "Let's talk about it, we don't know much about Yue, and we haven't been back for many years. Maybe their original plan has changed."

"I think so. I'm just a little worried about Azhi. Now Fucha obviously hasn't thought of her. One day I will ask her, what should I do?"

Zheng Dan shook his head lightly, expressing that he did not know what to do.

Xi Shi sighed: "I'm thinking, if it's really safe, it doesn't matter if you stay in the palace and don't leave. Although it's not free, at least it will be safe until the Yue Kingdom makes a comeback. I think Fu Chai still has feelings for you. If there is a chance, can you give me some advice and let him use Azhi as a general?"

Zheng Dan nodded: "This is a good idea. If Fu Chai still trusts me, it's okay for me to talk about it—but with Ah Zhi's temperament, you have to persuade her."

"Don't worry, Ah Zhi is much more sensible now."

But she said that Ah Zhi's life was not as good as the two in the cell. She hid in an abandoned residential house on the East Street, and after weighing it up and down, she felt that Fu Chai might not let it go.He wanted to see Xi Shi Zheng Dan, but there were so many guards in the sky prison that he couldn't get in, and he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid that if Fu Chai got angry, he would directly execute the two of them, which would be self-defeating.

That night, she was tossing and turning on the bed again, when she suddenly heard a noise on the roof, she got up quickly, took out the branch, held it in her hand, and shouted:

"Who! Come down for me!"

As soon as the words fell, a masked man in black landed gently at the door, cupped his hands and said:

"Dare to ask, but it's Miss Azhi?"

Ah Zhi thought for a while, then said coldly: "No. You admitted your mistake."

The man in black didn't seem to expect A Zhi to say this, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then said:

"Then dare to ask, do you know where Miss Azhi lives?"

"I don't know, I don't know any Azhi Aye."

The man sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, her mother is dying, and I want to see her——if the girl knows, please tell her so that she can go to the scenic spot twenty miles outside the northeast city at dusk tomorrow. Open an inn and find a man in Tsing Yi, and I will take my leave now."

After all, he turned and jumped away.Ah Zhi frowned, and he let down his guard when he heard the sound of his clothes fading away.She became suspicious. For more than 20 years, no one has ever mentioned her mother. Why did a mother suddenly appear?Although she thought about her life experience, she never took it to heart, but if her mother was really there, why didn't she come to see her for so many years?

Even though she felt extremely strange, how could she not be disturbed by this man?So she decided to go to the inn to take a sneak peek at tomorrow evening.

The evening of the second day soon came, Ah Zhi didn't take the main road, but went around from the woods to the Jingkai Inn. This inn was very simple, it couldn't be called an inn at all, it was at most a tea house for resting.The walls are wooden veneers with no small cracks.Ah Zhi looked in, and saw a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi sitting there with his back, holding a sword, drinking tea one after another, as if he was very anxious.After about half a moment, he seemed impatient, stood up abruptly, and looked around anxiously.

Azhi saw his face, and he snorted, thinking that this face looked very much like a person.After thinking for a while, I finally remembered that it was a bit similar to the naked assassin who broke into the Guanwa Palace that day.In an instant, the assassin's voice sounded in her head: Master, Daddy said I'm sorry.

She was even more puzzled. It seemed that she had to meet this person today to find out the ins and outs of the matter.So she hid the weapon, turned around and entered the inn.

When the middle-aged man saw Ah Zhi coming in, his eyes lit up, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at her unabashedly.

"Are you looking for me?" A Zhi didn't say much, walked up to the man and asked immediately.

The man nodded hurriedly and said:

"Yes...it's Xiangxun. My Yan Chenghuan, it's..."

Azhi waved his hand: "What are you looking for, talking about my mother, and what's going on?"

Yan Chenghuan cleared his throat, moved Azhi to the table, and politely invited her to sit down.

"It's a long story, girl, listen to me slowly..."

Azhi's eyes froze: "If you want to say it, say it quickly, don't slow down, I don't have time to listen to you, and I can't understand it!"

Yan Chenghuan smiled awkwardly: "Your temperament really resembles Ruohua. I really mean no harm. To make a long story short, it is true that Ruohua is about to die. As her daughter, you should see her."

"What's going on? Ruohua? Is it my mother's name?"

Yan Chenghuan sighed, showing a look of shame:

"More than 20 years ago, there was an assassin organization in Yue State, called Liumen. Liumen is not only an assassin organization, but also a sect. The assassins in it all come from the lineage of the master of Liumen. The swordsmanship is not important. Winning quickly is very suitable for assassination. The Liumen does not openly accept apprentices, only orphans and beggars are taken in for training. The head of the Liumen was called Liu Zicheng, and his eldest son Liu He was outstanding in martial arts, but he was not invincible. Among Liumen's rivals, there is Lu Zheng for men and Ruohua for women—that is, your mother. Ruohua's surname is Liu, and she is the second daughter of the head of Liumen. Lu Zheng's swordsmanship is even better than that of Liu He .Every time they sparred, there were more than a hundred moves, but no one could win or lose, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was Lu Zheng's intention to give in.

"I don't know when, Ruohua and Lu Zheng developed feelings, and Ruohua insisted on marrying Lu Zheng. According to the rules of the Liu family, the next head of the family must be the man with the highest martial arts among the nine families of the Liu family. Originally, this Liu He's seat is confirmed, but if Lu Zheng marries Ruohua, then Lu Zheng is justifiably a member of the Liu family and has the qualifications to compete with Liu He. However, even if Lu Zheng did not show his willingness to The intention of seizing the throne, but Liu He regarded him as a thorn in his side, and wanted to get rid of him wholeheartedly. The head of the door, Liu Zicheng, did not want to hand over the Liu door to a foreign surname, but the rules set by his ancestors could not be broken, so he discussed with his eldest son, to make Lu Zheng was removed. So for a while, Lu Zheng took on the most dangerous and difficult tasks in the sect, but he was strong in martial arts, and Ruohua often helped him secretly, and he never lost his life. The two gradually realized that something was wrong, But if Ruohua loves his family, he still can't make up his mind to betray Liumen with Lu Zheng and flee.

"Once, Liu He finally couldn't bear his temper. Before Lu Zheng went on a mission, he gave him a chronic poison. During Lu Zheng's mission, the poison suddenly broke out. Although Ruohua treated him in time, he was still completely blind and martial arts. Lost. There is a rule in the Liumen, those who escaped without completing the task will be executed, so Liu Zicheng and Liu He ignored Ruohua's persuasive advice and decided to execute Lu Zheng. And Ruohua hated his father and elder brother very much at this time , taking advantage of the night, he took Lu Zheng away without hesitation.

"Lu Zheng knew too many secrets of the Liumen, so the owner of the Liumen almost used all his strength to hunt down the two of them. After almost a year, the two of them never heard from each other. Until one day, when a disciple went out, he accidentally Ruohua was nine months pregnant at that time, no matter how powerful she was, her body was inconvenient, and Lu Zheng, who had become a disabled person, was brought with her at last. There is no way to escape from beating many masters. Liumen disciples killed Lu Zheng on the spot, and wanted to take Ruohua back, but Ruohua refused no matter what, and went mad instead, killing dozens of masters completely. Then he swallowed the poison to show his will to death—but there was also a disciple hiding in the dark. This disciple was just a little-known figure in the Liumen, but he secretly fell in love with the aloof Ruohua. He discovered Ruohua and Lu Zheng's hiding place and reported it to the sect master, which caused the two to suffer a bloody disaster. Seeing Ruohua swallowing poison, he couldn't bear it, and finally saved Ruohua's life, then killed a woman and disfigured her. Ruohua is the best.

"Ruohua gave birth to a daughter in a coma, and that was you. The disciple carried you back to the door, but the head of the door didn't care about blood relationship, and handed you over to a female disciple named Tao Hua to kill. It was also Taohua who was soft-hearted and unwilling to kill you, so she abandoned you in the Zhuluo Mountain, and left you to fend for yourself. The disciple who saved Ruohua hid Ruohua in a hidden place outside Gusu City in the State of Wu Ruohua went mad first, and then swallowed poison. Although his life is safe, he has become a useless person. Although he is conscious, he cannot move his hands or speak, and even has to be fed."

After Yan Chenghuan talked for a long time, his throat became dry, and he raised his head and drank a cup of tea.Azhi suddenly frowned and asked:

"What you said is true? But, if the matter is so mysterious, how do you know?"

Yan Chenghuan swallowed dryly, and sighed: "Actually, the disciple who saved Ruohua and also harmed Ruohua is me."
