【Yi Tian and Ren Minruo】Floating Life
Chapter 16
Lu Long's trip stopped, Zhang Wuji worried about Xie Xun's safety, he took Zhou Zhiruo and the law enforcement elders to apologize solemnly, the situation was really urgent, so he had no choice but to throw away the special banquet prepared by the beggar gang for them two.
Rao said a few words of humility, and during the period they talked about the fight against the Tartars. We only need to wait for Yin Yin and the Beggar Gang to join forces to restore the Han Dynasty, so we will meet again by fate.
Saying goodbye in a hurry, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo each rode a horse donated by the Beggars' Clan and headed south along the official road.
During the walk, the two of them wondered where Xie Xun was at this moment, and both felt at a loss. Zhang Wuji suddenly said: "Zhiruo, the capital is a place where people from all walks of life gather. If we pass by south, we can go to Dadu to find out the news. I think Qingyi In the hands of Brother Bat King Wei, there will probably be some clues."
Will not meet Zhao Min?
Zhou Zhiruo was always unguarded about her name, it seemed that the more she tried to perfectly disguise and hide her shocking emotions, the easier it would be for her to be exposed.
For example, at this moment, she didn't answer right away, she wandered slowly for a while before waking up from her dull world, pursed her lips and said softly: "If you go to Dadu and meet her..."
Before Zhou Zhiruo could complete her sentence, she was cut off by Zhang Wuji's fast rising voice: "Zhiruo, don't worry, I will not forget the oath I made, if Zhao Min is really the murderer, I will definitely kill her to avenge my cousin. "In fact, he was ashamed in his heart. When he was on Spirit Snake Island, he swore a heavy oath and decided to kill Zhao Min to avenge his cousin Yin Li. The reason is not done.
As for Zhou Zhiruo, who suddenly froze when Zhang Wuji said something, she didn't know why she suddenly mentioned Zhao Min, but the meaning behind her was not what Zhang Wuji said, and she felt ashamed after a moment of stunned Zhao Min, a person who treats himself sincerely and stands up for himself time and time again has suffered unfair injustice. I think Zhao Min must be extremely wronged at this moment, and I don't know if Zhao Min will hate himself when he knows the truth in the future.
As a result, she was even more afraid to face Zhao Min. She opened up and said slowly, "Brother Wuji, if one day you find out that I have done something wrong, will you still forgive me?"
Zhang Wuji heard her voice choked up, and her tone was full of trembling. After only a moment, he felt a lot of indescribable love and affection in his heart, and he comforted him: "Zhiruo, since you and I have made a marriage contract, we will get married in the future." It is husband and wife, if you do something wrong, I will help you to bear it together, even if you have done something wrong, I will not even bear to blame you."
When Zhou Zhiruo heard the words, she knew it in her heart. She felt that Zhang Wuji had treated her so well, but she killed herself... She felt so guilty, and now she had to do her best to help him find Xie Xun first. Zhou Zhiruo became a couple, so he felt that there was no need to be shy and conceal the encounter with Zhao Min. He roughly talked about how he met Zhao Min on the day of the beggar gang gathering and how they rescued Zhu Yuanzhang together. At the end, he thought Zhou Zhiruo would blame himself for not He killed Zhao Min to avenge Yin Li, but let her go instead.
But Zhou Zhiruo's expression didn't change at all, and there was even an inaudible smile. Zhang Wuji was very puzzled, and asked, "You used to never forget Miss Zhao, but now when I mention her, I think you will get angry." ? Or scold me? Why are you unmoved by it?"
Hearing Zhao Min's heart skipped a beat, and then retorted: "Whoever said I can't forget her, it's because you told me about her."
Zhang Wuji didn't notice anything different, and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Since that's the case, we won't talk about her anymore, we'd better continue on our way, the most important thing is to find our adoptive father."
After pondering, the two rode into a small town, found a small inn to stay, and went to bed separately.
As for Zhao Min's Jue, as soon as he returned to the Ruyang Palace, he met Chen Youliang impartially. In order to recommend him, Cheng Kun did not know what kind of insidious and cunning means he used to capture Fan Yao, and asked Chen Youliang to present him to the Ruyang King to show his sincerity.
This meeting ceremony is clear to anyone with a discerning eye, but the pacification of the Mingjiao chaos is usually decided by the Seventh Prince.
Fan Yao is a person who is able to hide himself as an undercover agent in the Ruyang Palace, without hesitating to destroy his appearance and vocal cords, and turn himself into an ugly monster. How can such a cruel and ruthless person be the kind who can succumb to torture to extract a confession? , and recruited all the lairs of Mingjiao, waiting for them to break down one by one.
After thinking about it for many times, the only way to kill a hundred people is to use it as a bait to lure those Mingjiao people who have sneaked into Dadu, and then catch them all. Another point is that the Seventh Prince is cautious and cautious, and he is a man who takes every step. , He also mobilized elite soldiers to lay a net in the criminal law field, and he himself stood aside as a supervisor and beheader.
In this way, when Zhang Wuji, who came to Yuan Dadu, heard the shocking news, he didn't know whether to be happy or to complain about the harsh methods of the court. The fire created chaos, and the people who were tired of the Seventh Prince were too tired to run around, taking care of one thing and losing another.
"Junior Sister Zhou, you made it easier for me to find you." During Zhou Zhiruo's absence in Emei, Emei and the others almost formed two factions. Those who were dissatisfied with Zhou Zhiruo, in order to snatch the iron ring of the master again, made a long circle from Spirit Snake Island, only to find out that Zhou Zhiruo had arrived in Dadu, so they hurried to find Zhou Zhiruo at this critical moment.
Zhou Zhiruo was startled, she still needed to cooperate with Zhang Wuji in saving Fan Yao, she said anxiously: "Senior Sister Ding, I still have something to do, let's talk about it after I finish."
As soon as he said that, Zhou Zhiruo was about to leave like an arrow from the bowstring. Seeing this, Ding Minjun stood in front of him and said angrily: "Hand over the iron ring of the master, and you can leave."
It was really as Zhou Zhiruo expected, she shook her head and said: "Senior Sister Ding, my little sister gave it to you once before, but you didn't want it because you were afraid that Grandma Jinhua would kill you, I will never give it to you a second time. "
"Junior Sister Zhou, don't blame me for being impolite if you don't want to toast and eat fine wine." As soon as the words fell, Ding Minjun and several Emei disciples behind him raised their swords and stepped forward a few steps, wanting to make a move
"Senior Sister Ding, don't push people too much." Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to fight with her classmates, so she said a word. Ding Minjun didn't bother with Zhou Zhiruo's words, and snorted coldly, "I don't know how much you have. If you don't hand over the iron ring of the master, you can never leave."
All of a sudden, Leng Feng sword shadows came towards Zhou Zhiruo, and they beat her so fiercely that she couldn't escape easily, and Zhang Wuji still needed her help.
I'm afraid it will be too late if I continue to toss, bit my lip, my whole body has already become different, it is cold and scary, and while fighting back, she said sharply: "I am no longer that little junior sister who is bullied by others."
In the blink of an eye, Ding Minjun and the others felt a gust of cold air rushing towards their faces, like a knife, like a blade, like a dagger piercing several acupoints on his body, but it was clear that there was no wound on his body, but he felt as if his flesh had been cut by something. The pain made their eyes tear apart, and they had no chance to fight back.
"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Ding Minjun, who was beaten back a few steps, was shocked. The Emei disciples were very caring and hurried forward to express their condolences. Asked, "What kind of evil martial arts are you doing?"
The sun was shining brightly on Qingli Jiaren, but because of that frightening gaze like cold frost, she seemed strangely inconsistent. She said coldly: "I will tell you when I return to Emei and formally take over as the head."
With a sound of the hammer, a figure swept up the dust, and galloped out of the unbelievable few people's sights as quickly as flying ducks.
And Zhang Wuji went to rescue Fan Yao alone. Although he was caught off guard halfway, it was extremely difficult to deal with a large number of Mongolian soldiers who did not know when to appear around him alone, not to mention guarding Fan Yao's prison car. Many masters.
But the situation is urgent, if it drags on, it will only attract the attention of Fan Yao and the Seventh Prince who are waiting to be executed in the criminal court.
At this moment, a sharp sword came out of its sheath silently, and the man jumped down from the top of the restaurant, his swordsmanship was unbelievably fast, he came to the side of the prison car in a short while, with a few snorts, he slashed He dropped the iron lock on the prison car, and then cut off Fan Yao's handcuffs and anklets. After being rescued, Fan Yao stepped forward to help Zhang Wuji.
And the masked man knew very well that they would be able to get away with their skills, and wanted to dodge away like a puff of smoke, but unexpectedly a figure followed closely behind.
"Mingjiao rebels, don't even think about escaping." The deep and mellow voice sounded, and the masked people were startled, and suddenly felt a wave of palms coming from behind, and the person who came was the eldest son of the Seventh Prince's family.
As soon as they heard a few clicks, the two people who were fighting on the city wall saw their moves, defended and fought, and the wind was surging for a moment, and the fight was extremely fierce. The samurai beside him suddenly bent his bow and set his arrow. With a hissing sound, the arrow flew faster than the lightning switch and flew towards him with gusts of wind.
"Be careful." The arrow came too fast, the force was too fierce, too unexpected, and it was too hard to guard against. Even with Zhang Wuji's sound, I still felt a chill because I quickly shifted the position of my heart. The eyelashes approached the left shoulder, and then heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh, and there was a bloody wound on the shoulder.
"Young man, hurry up." Fan Yao yelled, Zhang Wuji immediately shifted the universe and shifted a huge force from bottom to top to left and right, and the two people on the city wall swayed back a few steps in opposite directions , opened a short distance abruptly.
The masked man didn't say a word, he jumped up clutching his wound, staggered to the ground, and flew away like an arrow flying from the string. Afterwards, Zhang Wuji and Fan Yao looked at each other, broke out to both sides of the street, and galloped out after a while. Enemy sight.
Of course, the Seventh Prince is so treacherous and cunning, how could he let the three people who came out to disrupt the situation be spared, and immediately ordered the whole city to arrest the important criminals.
Zhang Wuji and Fan Yao are alright, but in the blink of an eye they have already thrown off the Mongolian soldiers chasing them, and they can't even see them. The masked man is different, holding his wound but being chased endlessly because of the bloodstains left along the way, and finally detoured to In an alley, at a fork, he froze for a moment, not knowing which way to flee, and while hesitating, he was suddenly pulled to a dark corner by both hands.
"Zhou..." The masked person was Zhao Min, and the person who was putting his finger to his lips to signal her to silence was Zhou Zhiruo.
Seeing the flames flickering and dimming outside, it was Wang Baobao and the Seventh Prince who came to help each with a large number of Mongolian soldiers to search for Zhang Wuji and others.
"..." The voices of Wang Baobao's conversation with the Seventh Prince came and disappeared one after another, and the two people who were standing together in strange postures, one was apprehensive, the other was wary and shocked, and they seemed to be full of excitement everywhere. The imminent restraint is actually reddening.
Especially when the bright moonlight shone down, Zhou Zhiruo vaguely saw the blood-red wound on Zhao Min's shoulder, and with just one glance, her heart was filled with many unspeakable worries, but it was only a moment, because Zhao Min had been Staring at her and never moving his eyes, for some reason, his face was suddenly angry and shy, happy and sad, and he couldn't understand what Zhao Min meant.
[Zhou Zhiruo is my fiancée of Zhang Wuji...]
[Zhao Min, when we meet again in the future, we are enemies, enemies, don't show mercy to me anymore]
Zhao Min looked at Zhou Zhiruo's delicate and beautiful face, and thought of the murmurs he had heard in the past. Sure enough, such a cruel woman is the most hated and loved. I really don't know what to do. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but "hehe" Two sneers.
[Minmin, why are you looking at me like this]
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo only felt that Zhao Min's pretty face became brighter, and then she couldn't see it in the blink of an eye. She was too close. The moment Zhao Min kissed her lips, she was at a loss and didn't know how to react.
Normally, because of the sudden arrival of the lingering fragrance, she might snort or push her away, but no matter what kind of possibility it is now, it is impossible for Zhou Zhiruo to implement it, because it will cause commotion and lead to the people who are searching outside. Pay attention to Wang Baobao and the Seventh Prince, if you want to ensure your own safety, it may be difficult to take away the injured Zhao Min with a large number of Mongolian soldiers.
Zhao Min only dared to turn the hot and humid lips of the two of them into blushes all over her face because she had a thorough understanding of her own thoughts and the current situation. Zhou Zhiruo really felt that she was going to be broken in this kiss.
Obviously, he once built a wall to isolate all the feelings that should not be involuntarily, and built an invisible sense of distance between the two, but at this moment, he was completely defeated by the overwhelming fragrance.
The cherry lips were soft, and she was distracted for a while. Suddenly, Zhao Min bit Zhou Zhiruo's upper lip hard enough to bleed, and then leaned her head silently on her shoulder.
〔You and Zhang Wuji already have a promise, don't you〕
She silently said to herself, and also said to sister Zhou in her heart.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt that it was so quiet and cold outside. Zhou Zhiruo, who was at a loss, suddenly heard the human being in her arms say: "If I am not a Mongolian, nor a princess, but a Han girl from a commoner family, sister Zhou, you may would be nicer to me."
After repeatedly chewing on the syllables of this sentence, I realized that my heart is clearly revealed, like a light rain, pouring three parts of soft pity in my eyes, caressing three parts of bottomless sadness in my heart, and still One-third of the shoulders are the heavy responsibility of expelling captives and restoring the country and Everbright Emei, and the remaining one is the cruelty of gently pushing away feelings.
"Follow me back to the inn first, and I'll help you treat your wound."
Her voice is so gentle, like a prairie fire meeting a torrential rain, white snow meeting a ray of spring breeze, the fire goes out in an instant, the ice and snow melt, and there is no trace of coldness anymore.
Zhao Min was in a daze, she didn't know how she was brought back to the inn by Zhou Zhiruo, and how she gave her medicine.
Until the wick was cut off, the candle flame dimmed, and the room was pitch black, and the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly, Zhou Zhiruo left like a gust of wind.
The front was closed, and it was like a dream. When she woke up the next day, she saw a letter left on the table. Her heart sank, she took out the letter from the envelope, and then opened it. Shiju □□, since we are destined to be like this, we can’t force ourselves to come. The book is in a hurry, and we don’t want to say anything. The princess is a smart person, so he will understand the meaning, Zhou Zhiruo writes].
Another hurried farewell, who is whose journey, who is whose desolation, seems to have no definite answer.
She raised her head and looked out of the window, a ray of scorching sun turned a few angles with the wind, and finally occupied the hazy field of vision as she wished, why there was no warm yellow temperature, but the coolness that was suffocating in her heart poured into her eyes.
When she heard a...heartbreaking voice, she burst into tears and said, "If I have to force it, what should you do?"
……
After Fan Yao was rescued, the imperial court pursued them with heavy troops, and most of them couldn't stay any longer. After much deliberation, Zhang Wuji decided to go out of the city first.
Later, together with Zhou Zhiruo and Fan Yao, they went south all the way, passing through Shandong, and saw a large group of defeated Mongolian soldiers dragging their armor and throwing their helmets, avoiding roads and fleeing. Only then did they know that Zhu Yuanzhang had won several victorious battles in Huaibei Company, and defeated the Yuan soldiers.
They were overjoyed, Fan Yao saw that there was nothing serious at present, so he advised Zhang Wuji to marry Zhou Zhiruo as soon as possible, since he had already said something beforehand, there was nothing to hesitate, he agreed immediately.
Zhiruo also nodded brightly, and said: "Brother Wuji, after I get married, I want to return to Emei to officially take over as the head, and then I will discuss with all the senior sisters about fighting against Yuan with you, and join you righteous fighters against Yuan."
Zhang Wuji was startled, staring at Zhou Zhiruo intently, and asked: "Zhiruo, you mean that you are willing to take the Emei people and the Mingjiao together to fight against the Yuan army's Bolang, do you know that this is very dangerous."
[As a teacher, I have two vows, one is to make Emei great and become the leader of the martial arts, and the other is to drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty]
Zhang Wuji saw Zhou Zhiruo nod his head in a general way, and saw that her eyes were full of determination, he realized that what she said was serious and sincere, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, he held her hand and said: "This is very good, Mingjiao intends to save the people of the world from fire and water In the middle, when I retire, I will take you back to the mountains and forests after I abdicate, and live a stable life from now on."
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and sighed deeply: "No, don't say that you are the leader of Mingjiao, I am the leader of Emei, and I still bear the master's will and the heavy responsibility of the sect on my shoulders, so I can't do anything for myself."
Hearing her resolute words, Zhang Wuji frowned slightly, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded, stopped talking, and continued to pamper her on the road.
But in January, the good news of the Mingjiao leader's big wedding spread all over the world, and all factions came to congratulate him with gifts. As for the capital, everything was as usual, except that the Ruyang Palace would occasionally hear the chaotic sound of the piano.
"Princess!" As soon as Zhao Min's subordinates stepped into the courtyard, they saw a pair of white and slender fingertips plucking the strings lightly. , and finally there was a loud bang, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Zhao Min looked at the man who came to report every day with a sullen face, and asked: "What news did you bring today, is it someone from a decent family or Mingjiao who was captured by the Seventh Prince and my father?"
The man's heart froze, he shook his head, cupped his hands and replied, "I want to report to the princess, the martial arts people have not appeared in Dadu recently, and they all went to Haozhou."
"Haozhou?" Zhao Min stared intently at the man and smiled slightly, "What happened?"
"No, it's the leader of the Ming religion and the head of Emei who will set up a heaven and earth auditorium in the hall of the richest gentry in Haozhou on the [-]th day of March. They all went to congratulate them." It sounded like a thunderbolt in my ears.
"Zhou Zhiruo is getting married?" After being startled, an unbelievable syllable overflowed from his lips. The man nodded again when he heard the words. Seeing this, Zhao Min sneered meaningfully and asked, "Is Chen Youliang in the mansion?" , and told him to come and see me."
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After the man left, the smile on Zhao Min's face became more treacherous and vivid, and he took out the letter that he had always carried with him, read it carefully, and read out the three words in it. , "Zhou Zhiruo."
Closing her eyes, she tore the letter into pieces until she couldn't make out any single word, she sighed suddenly.
[You think that if you leave a letter, I will retreat in the face of difficulties, and you think that things that are reluctant to come can be blown away with the wind]
Zhao Min opened his eyes, straightened his body slowly, looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, and said each word in frustration: "I want to go against the wind, but I want to force it."
……
On March [-]th, all members of the Ming Cult changed into new clothes. The hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, and a large vertical scroll with the words "beautiful children and beautiful women" hung in the center.
"Girl, you were born with a beautiful face, and with today's wedding dress, you are really a country." Hearing the voice of the maid beside her, Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the door of the bronze mirror, then lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, the servant girl stopped talking and continued to move. The comb touched Zhou Zhiruo's strands of black and shiny hair, and it slid down from head to tail, until the rosy beauty was startled by the red candlelight. After a while, she heard the sound of a comb falling to the ground and saw a familiar figure in the bronze mirror.
"Follow me." It was Zhao Min who came. She knocked out the maid who helped Zhou Zhiruo make up, and then took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said.
[Minmin, what are you doing here]
He was flustered and flustered in his heart, but his face became calmer after the shock. He pushed Zhao Min's clenched hand away, and said lightly, "Today is the marriage day between Emei and Mingjiao. The princess should stop joking."
Sure enough, just as Zhao Min expected, Zhou Zhiruo felt an inexplicable sense of distance when she opened her mouth. She asked, "Master Zhou really likes him? Do you really want to marry him?"
Life is unsatisfactory, ten or seventy-eight, she admits that this wedding is selfish, one is because she doesn't want Zhang Wuji to treat her, and the other is that the leader of the Anti-Yuan has never been a woman, maybe from Spirit Snake Island. After making a decision, she understood that love is important, but sometimes the sect is loyal, the common people are responsible, and the country's righteousness is more important.
Zhou Zhiruo looked into her eyes and said slowly: "I think the princess is a smart person, so I don't need to say more, you already know the answer."
"Zhou Zhiruo, if I say that I don't know, how should you tell me?" Looking at each other for one second, two seconds, three seconds...Zhou Zhiruo finally mustered up the courage in her complicated heart, and wanted to tell Zhao Min the last thing she wanted to hear, herself. The last thing I want to say but have to say is ready to say.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the first syllable was moved, it would be fleeting. The cherry lips were soft and fragrant. Zhao Min wrapped his arms around Zhou Zhiruo's neck, and kissed her deeply on her lips.
Zhou Zhiruo was startled, at a loss, she pushed away the person close at hand, pointed at Zhao Min, the words rolled in her throat, trembling, murmuring, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only call out in a deep voice: "Zhao Min !"
Hearing his name, Zhao Min suddenly regained his sanity, with a long smile in the corner of his eyes, as if nothing had happened, and said: "Look... did you just want to say that you like Zhang Wuji? Why? I did such a thing to you, but you didn't even say a word of blame."
"You!" Zhou Zhiruo finally understood the meaning behind Zhao Min's words, she just guessed what she wanted to say, she sighed in her heart, she was no longer moved, she just said, "The princess is really a smart person, then I won't Keep it secret, Zhiruo is indeed willing to marry him." After saying that, Zhou Zhiruo picked up the red hijab on the table and walked out of Zhao Min's side.
Hearing what she said decisively, Zhao Min felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly hoped that for a moment, he could turn around and leave as cruelly as she did.
"Sister Zhou." The ending sounded awkward, sounding inexplicably lost.
"We've never been in love before?" Zhou Zhiruo stopped in Zhao Min's fleeting words, and suddenly felt a heavy rain that could never be seen in her eyes. It seemed that the more out of control, the less sad she seemed. Answered, "No."
"You're lying." There was a quick retort from behind, and Zhou Zhiruo was at a loss again with the unseen lethality.
She paused, then replied, "I didn't lie."
"You have." The cold look melted again, and Zhou Zhiruo forced herself to say something [but this was deviant].
"Princess." The short, tone of the calling voice, and a hidden real answer, brushed her ears repeatedly, she told herself and also told Zhao Min, "The auspicious time is coming, if you come to congratulate, Then go to the front hall to sit and watch the ceremony, if not, please feel free."
Wearing a bright red brocade robe and a phoenix crown and Xiapei, the graceful person continued to walk. The moment she was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly saw a beautiful figure flashing, and a young girl came to her with a smile, took her hand, and said: "Zhou My sister is wearing a red scarf, if no one supports her, she might fall if she can't reach the hall."
[What about the leader of Mingjiao, even if the king of heaven wants to marry you, I will rob you of this marriage. Sister Zhou, you can’t blame me, this is all the result of your unwillingness to face your own heart]
She was talking to herself, and she was also talking to sister Zhou in her heart.
At the moment of application, the auspicious time has come, and the trumpet blares repeatedly. Standing on the red felt, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Zhiruo coming, but when he saw Zhao Min beside him, his heart shuddered, and the group of heroes also Afterwards, they shouted and shouted, many masters from Mingjiao and various sects had suffered from Zhao Min when they were in Wan'an Temple, and those who were more reckless wanted to step forward.
Yang Xiao opened his arms, blocked the front, and shouted: "Wait a minute." Then he said to the crowd, "The visitor is a guest, today is the day of great joy for the leader of our sect and the head of the Emei Sect, everyone, let's take a look at the Emei Sect. He Mingjiao's thin noodles, put the old Liangzi aside for now, and don't be rude to Miss Zhao, "
After saying that, he couldn't wink with Peng Yingyu, the two knew what they meant, went around to the back hall, and went out to check, and see how many experts Zhao Min brought with him, as for Zhou Zhiruo, she held Zhao Min's hand tightly and bowed. Said: "The princess is inconvenient today, you go back first."
Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji who was walking over, smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Zhou, I still have a few words to say to Master Zhang, and then I will leave."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart moved when she heard the words, and she seemed to sense what she was going to do next, and when Zhang Wuji came over, she took Zhou Zhiruo's hand to protect her, and said: "I don't know if the princess is here, What are you talking about? It’s not too late to talk about it after saluting.”
"After saluting, it's already too late." She shook her head, with a mysterious smile on her lips, then leaned into Zhang Wuji's ear, raised her heels, and said softly, "You are not allowed to marry Miss Zhou today."
The voice was very soft, but Zhou Zhiruo could hear it very clearly. Zhang Wuji couldn't help but change his face, and said angrily: "Zhao Min! I respect you as the daughter of the princess. If you come here intentionally to disrupt the situation, please forgive Zhang Wuji for being rude." , take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the door. Unexpectedly, Zhao Min stretched out his right hand, stretched it out in front of him, and said, "Okay, let's see what this is. If you want to know what's going on, just follow me."
Zhang Wuji glanced at it, he was taken aback, and was about to grab it casually, but Zhao Min was even faster, closed his palms, put the thing into his arms, and walked towards the gate like an arrow leaving the string.
Zhang Wuji let go of Zhou Zhiruo's hand, and said anxiously: "Zhao...Miss Zhao, please stay." Zhao Min didn't obey, and walked faster, Zhang Wuji was very panicked, rushed forward, and called, "Miss Zhao , I promise you, I won’t get married today, you wait for me first.”
Zhang Wuji turned around and saw Zhou Zhiruo standing there, he was very apologetic, he paused and said, "Zhiruo, I have some difficulties, please understand, Zhang Wuji will never go back on our marriage agreement, just A few days later."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zhiruo's face suddenly became very different, like a big storm sweeping through every season, leaving only the coldness of winter: "Today is our wedding day, and you want to sacrifice me?" Go? Humiliate us Emei in public?"
Zhao Min had already rushed out of the door, Zhang Wuji saw this, his heart was agitated, and he felt that the matter in front of him was extremely urgent and he had to make a decisive decision, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhiruo, the kindness my foster father has given me is as great as a mountain, I hope you will understand .”
Zhang Wuji said sorry a few times, but still chased him out. As for Zhao Min at the door, hearing Zhou Zhiruo's cold voice, he couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself [Sister Zhou, are you so reluctant to part with him, or do you have other worries at all] .
After a while, the group of heroes who were stunned and speechless suddenly began to whisper, saying that although it is not a strange thing for two women to fight for a husband, it would be shameful for the person involved to abandon the marriage The great humiliation made Emei even more embarrassing, and he denounced Zhang Wuji for being unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
Yin Tianzheng, Song Yuanqiao, Yang Xiao and others didn't know the reason, they all wanted to comfort her, and asked her to wait for Zhang Wuji's return before asking, but they saw Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly reached out and tore off the red scarf that covered her face, threw it on the ground, and said, "Where is the Emei disciple?"
All the heroines in Emei, except the future Ding Minjun, stood up one after another and said in unison: "What is the order from the master?"
"Back to Emei." Zhou Zhiruo said loudly, and everyone flew up with her, made a slight turn in mid-air, and went up to the roof, like a red cloud, floating away to the east.
[Zhao Min, you let me be ridiculed by the whole world, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, but I just want to say, this time you still won]
The human face doesn't know where to go, the peach blossom is still smiling at the spring breeze, maybe you are right, if you are just a Han girl from a commoner family, maybe I will treat you better, but it is a pity that there is no such thing in life.
……
"Miss Zhao, you forced me to be an unrighteous person and be scolded by the heroes of the world, but you should hurry up and tell me where my adoptive father is." Zhang Wuji followed Zhao Min several feet away, stopped behind her, and said anxiously.
It turned out that what Zhao Min held in his palm to show Zhang Wuji was Xie Xun's light yellow hair. Zhang Wuji recognized it immediately when he saw it, but he knew that among the congratulators, except for Mingjiao and Wudang sect, almost Everyone is willing to win Xie Xun, either to avenge his vengeance for massacres in the past, or to seize the Dragon Slaying Sword. In this way, they cannot explain their difficulties to Zhou Zhiruo in front of the heroes.
"What's the rush, I'll take you there now." Zhao Min said, Zhang Wuji understood, and the two left like a puff of smoke.
It took about half an hour to reach the grass not far from a house, Zhang Wuji felt relieved, raised his eyebrows and asked: "My adoptive father is really in that house, you won't cheat?"
Zhao Minxing glanced back at him, and said with disgust: "You are really strange, since you all come with me, there is no reason not to believe me."
When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and then Zhao Min continued to say: "Chen Youliang brought me here. I saw Xie Lion King locked inside with my own eyes. Otherwise, you would think that the yellow bouquet in my hand Where did the hair come from?"
"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being." Zhang Wuji gave her a cross-eyed glance, then got up and walked over. Seeing this, Zhao Min took a step ahead and walked in front, "I'll go in and have a look first, so that you don't say anything again. I cheated."
"Chen Youliang, it's me, Princess Shaomin, are you there?" Zhao Min cautiously said something while approaching the hut.
There was no response, and he knocked on the door twice again. Zhang Wuji became suspicious, kicked the door latch and broke it, the door was opened, and there was no one there, and immediately the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he said angrily: "Zhao Min! You lied again!" Me, you really don’t change your bad nature.”
"I didn't, I clearly saw Xie Lion King here before." She was even more flustered, and hurriedly explained.
Zhang Wuji thought of Yin Li's incident and saw the incident in front of him, suddenly he couldn't hold back his grief and indignation. He wanted to slap him, but he heard the sound of horseshoes outside and rushed out. He saw Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang leading more than a hundred cavalry and The archers, either in front or behind, walked sparsely and stood not far from the house.
"Wrap up the house for this king." Wang Baobao gave the order, Zhao Min's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran out. At a glance, he saw that there were Shenjian Baxiong and Feinu cavalry in the crowd, and thought to himself [not good] to turn around in a hurry. After passing the end, Zhang Wuji's face was covered with frost, and he shouted to himself, "Zhao Min, what else do you have to explain, you have been planning me from the beginning to the end, escaping marriage, abandoning Zhi Ruo, lying to me The adoptive father is here, you really have a face like peaches and plums, and a heart like a snake."
Zhao Min saw the anger on his face, and saw Chen Youliang's look of a villain, his heart was clear, and he was about to explain, but unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji circled with his left hand, and kicked back with his right, and he had already crossed his neck. Said: "The facts are in front of me, I finally understand, for a vicious woman like you, you must have killed my cousin, because I was soft-hearted and wanted to take you to confront your adoptive father before, so I fell into your tricks. I tell you to go to the underworld to be with my cousin, and I will kill your brother Wang again."
"Zhang Wuji, if you dare to touch a single hair of my sister, I promise you will die here immediately." Wang Baobao said angrily, while Zhao Min stretched out his finger to poke Zhang Wuji's chest, and choked out a sentence on his lips, "If you kill me, you will never leave. If you want to go out, it is better to hold me hostage to escape."
"No need, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Min tremblingly said again, "Okay! Then if you kill me, you will never know who the real murderer is." After finishing speaking, she closed her mouth tightly eyes.
Zhang Wuji remembered Yin Li's hatred, and seeing today's situation, he was going to strangle her to death, but seeing her expression of resignation to death, he suddenly became suspicious and relaxed his hands.
Zhao Min choked a few times, took another breath, and then shouted at Chen Youliang, "Chen Youliang, you are really cunning, you have joined forces with your master Cheng Kun to deceive me, tell me quickly, the golden lion king Xie Xun was killed by your master Where to take it?"
Chen Youliang hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth: "When I go back to the princess, my master has always been missing, and he never tells others what he wants to do. Naturally, I don't know."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Wuji became even more anxious, and shouted in a low voice: "Zhao Min, you clearly know that Chen Youliang is a cautious person, even if you know the whereabouts of my adoptive father, you won't tell, why ask?"
"It's not that you are stupid, thinking that Chen and I
Rao said a few words of humility, and during the period they talked about the fight against the Tartars. We only need to wait for Yin Yin and the Beggar Gang to join forces to restore the Han Dynasty, so we will meet again by fate.
Saying goodbye in a hurry, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo each rode a horse donated by the Beggars' Clan and headed south along the official road.
During the walk, the two of them wondered where Xie Xun was at this moment, and both felt at a loss. Zhang Wuji suddenly said: "Zhiruo, the capital is a place where people from all walks of life gather. If we pass by south, we can go to Dadu to find out the news. I think Qingyi In the hands of Brother Bat King Wei, there will probably be some clues."
Will not meet Zhao Min?
Zhou Zhiruo was always unguarded about her name, it seemed that the more she tried to perfectly disguise and hide her shocking emotions, the easier it would be for her to be exposed.
For example, at this moment, she didn't answer right away, she wandered slowly for a while before waking up from her dull world, pursed her lips and said softly: "If you go to Dadu and meet her..."
Before Zhou Zhiruo could complete her sentence, she was cut off by Zhang Wuji's fast rising voice: "Zhiruo, don't worry, I will not forget the oath I made, if Zhao Min is really the murderer, I will definitely kill her to avenge my cousin. "In fact, he was ashamed in his heart. When he was on Spirit Snake Island, he swore a heavy oath and decided to kill Zhao Min to avenge his cousin Yin Li. The reason is not done.
As for Zhou Zhiruo, who suddenly froze when Zhang Wuji said something, she didn't know why she suddenly mentioned Zhao Min, but the meaning behind her was not what Zhang Wuji said, and she felt ashamed after a moment of stunned Zhao Min, a person who treats himself sincerely and stands up for himself time and time again has suffered unfair injustice. I think Zhao Min must be extremely wronged at this moment, and I don't know if Zhao Min will hate himself when he knows the truth in the future.
As a result, she was even more afraid to face Zhao Min. She opened up and said slowly, "Brother Wuji, if one day you find out that I have done something wrong, will you still forgive me?"
Zhang Wuji heard her voice choked up, and her tone was full of trembling. After only a moment, he felt a lot of indescribable love and affection in his heart, and he comforted him: "Zhiruo, since you and I have made a marriage contract, we will get married in the future." It is husband and wife, if you do something wrong, I will help you to bear it together, even if you have done something wrong, I will not even bear to blame you."
When Zhou Zhiruo heard the words, she knew it in her heart. She felt that Zhang Wuji had treated her so well, but she killed herself... She felt so guilty, and now she had to do her best to help him find Xie Xun first. Zhou Zhiruo became a couple, so he felt that there was no need to be shy and conceal the encounter with Zhao Min. He roughly talked about how he met Zhao Min on the day of the beggar gang gathering and how they rescued Zhu Yuanzhang together. At the end, he thought Zhou Zhiruo would blame himself for not He killed Zhao Min to avenge Yin Li, but let her go instead.
But Zhou Zhiruo's expression didn't change at all, and there was even an inaudible smile. Zhang Wuji was very puzzled, and asked, "You used to never forget Miss Zhao, but now when I mention her, I think you will get angry." ? Or scold me? Why are you unmoved by it?"
Hearing Zhao Min's heart skipped a beat, and then retorted: "Whoever said I can't forget her, it's because you told me about her."
Zhang Wuji didn't notice anything different, and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Since that's the case, we won't talk about her anymore, we'd better continue on our way, the most important thing is to find our adoptive father."
After pondering, the two rode into a small town, found a small inn to stay, and went to bed separately.
As for Zhao Min's Jue, as soon as he returned to the Ruyang Palace, he met Chen Youliang impartially. In order to recommend him, Cheng Kun did not know what kind of insidious and cunning means he used to capture Fan Yao, and asked Chen Youliang to present him to the Ruyang King to show his sincerity.
This meeting ceremony is clear to anyone with a discerning eye, but the pacification of the Mingjiao chaos is usually decided by the Seventh Prince.
Fan Yao is a person who is able to hide himself as an undercover agent in the Ruyang Palace, without hesitating to destroy his appearance and vocal cords, and turn himself into an ugly monster. How can such a cruel and ruthless person be the kind who can succumb to torture to extract a confession? , and recruited all the lairs of Mingjiao, waiting for them to break down one by one.
After thinking about it for many times, the only way to kill a hundred people is to use it as a bait to lure those Mingjiao people who have sneaked into Dadu, and then catch them all. Another point is that the Seventh Prince is cautious and cautious, and he is a man who takes every step. , He also mobilized elite soldiers to lay a net in the criminal law field, and he himself stood aside as a supervisor and beheader.
In this way, when Zhang Wuji, who came to Yuan Dadu, heard the shocking news, he didn't know whether to be happy or to complain about the harsh methods of the court. The fire created chaos, and the people who were tired of the Seventh Prince were too tired to run around, taking care of one thing and losing another.
"Junior Sister Zhou, you made it easier for me to find you." During Zhou Zhiruo's absence in Emei, Emei and the others almost formed two factions. Those who were dissatisfied with Zhou Zhiruo, in order to snatch the iron ring of the master again, made a long circle from Spirit Snake Island, only to find out that Zhou Zhiruo had arrived in Dadu, so they hurried to find Zhou Zhiruo at this critical moment.
Zhou Zhiruo was startled, she still needed to cooperate with Zhang Wuji in saving Fan Yao, she said anxiously: "Senior Sister Ding, I still have something to do, let's talk about it after I finish."
As soon as he said that, Zhou Zhiruo was about to leave like an arrow from the bowstring. Seeing this, Ding Minjun stood in front of him and said angrily: "Hand over the iron ring of the master, and you can leave."
It was really as Zhou Zhiruo expected, she shook her head and said: "Senior Sister Ding, my little sister gave it to you once before, but you didn't want it because you were afraid that Grandma Jinhua would kill you, I will never give it to you a second time. "
"Junior Sister Zhou, don't blame me for being impolite if you don't want to toast and eat fine wine." As soon as the words fell, Ding Minjun and several Emei disciples behind him raised their swords and stepped forward a few steps, wanting to make a move
"Senior Sister Ding, don't push people too much." Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to fight with her classmates, so she said a word. Ding Minjun didn't bother with Zhou Zhiruo's words, and snorted coldly, "I don't know how much you have. If you don't hand over the iron ring of the master, you can never leave."
All of a sudden, Leng Feng sword shadows came towards Zhou Zhiruo, and they beat her so fiercely that she couldn't escape easily, and Zhang Wuji still needed her help.
I'm afraid it will be too late if I continue to toss, bit my lip, my whole body has already become different, it is cold and scary, and while fighting back, she said sharply: "I am no longer that little junior sister who is bullied by others."
In the blink of an eye, Ding Minjun and the others felt a gust of cold air rushing towards their faces, like a knife, like a blade, like a dagger piercing several acupoints on his body, but it was clear that there was no wound on his body, but he felt as if his flesh had been cut by something. The pain made their eyes tear apart, and they had no chance to fight back.
"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Ding Minjun, who was beaten back a few steps, was shocked. The Emei disciples were very caring and hurried forward to express their condolences. Asked, "What kind of evil martial arts are you doing?"
The sun was shining brightly on Qingli Jiaren, but because of that frightening gaze like cold frost, she seemed strangely inconsistent. She said coldly: "I will tell you when I return to Emei and formally take over as the head."
With a sound of the hammer, a figure swept up the dust, and galloped out of the unbelievable few people's sights as quickly as flying ducks.
And Zhang Wuji went to rescue Fan Yao alone. Although he was caught off guard halfway, it was extremely difficult to deal with a large number of Mongolian soldiers who did not know when to appear around him alone, not to mention guarding Fan Yao's prison car. Many masters.
But the situation is urgent, if it drags on, it will only attract the attention of Fan Yao and the Seventh Prince who are waiting to be executed in the criminal court.
At this moment, a sharp sword came out of its sheath silently, and the man jumped down from the top of the restaurant, his swordsmanship was unbelievably fast, he came to the side of the prison car in a short while, with a few snorts, he slashed He dropped the iron lock on the prison car, and then cut off Fan Yao's handcuffs and anklets. After being rescued, Fan Yao stepped forward to help Zhang Wuji.
And the masked man knew very well that they would be able to get away with their skills, and wanted to dodge away like a puff of smoke, but unexpectedly a figure followed closely behind.
"Mingjiao rebels, don't even think about escaping." The deep and mellow voice sounded, and the masked people were startled, and suddenly felt a wave of palms coming from behind, and the person who came was the eldest son of the Seventh Prince's family.
As soon as they heard a few clicks, the two people who were fighting on the city wall saw their moves, defended and fought, and the wind was surging for a moment, and the fight was extremely fierce. The samurai beside him suddenly bent his bow and set his arrow. With a hissing sound, the arrow flew faster than the lightning switch and flew towards him with gusts of wind.
"Be careful." The arrow came too fast, the force was too fierce, too unexpected, and it was too hard to guard against. Even with Zhang Wuji's sound, I still felt a chill because I quickly shifted the position of my heart. The eyelashes approached the left shoulder, and then heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh, and there was a bloody wound on the shoulder.
"Young man, hurry up." Fan Yao yelled, Zhang Wuji immediately shifted the universe and shifted a huge force from bottom to top to left and right, and the two people on the city wall swayed back a few steps in opposite directions , opened a short distance abruptly.
The masked man didn't say a word, he jumped up clutching his wound, staggered to the ground, and flew away like an arrow flying from the string. Afterwards, Zhang Wuji and Fan Yao looked at each other, broke out to both sides of the street, and galloped out after a while. Enemy sight.
Of course, the Seventh Prince is so treacherous and cunning, how could he let the three people who came out to disrupt the situation be spared, and immediately ordered the whole city to arrest the important criminals.
Zhang Wuji and Fan Yao are alright, but in the blink of an eye they have already thrown off the Mongolian soldiers chasing them, and they can't even see them. The masked man is different, holding his wound but being chased endlessly because of the bloodstains left along the way, and finally detoured to In an alley, at a fork, he froze for a moment, not knowing which way to flee, and while hesitating, he was suddenly pulled to a dark corner by both hands.
"Zhou..." The masked person was Zhao Min, and the person who was putting his finger to his lips to signal her to silence was Zhou Zhiruo.
Seeing the flames flickering and dimming outside, it was Wang Baobao and the Seventh Prince who came to help each with a large number of Mongolian soldiers to search for Zhang Wuji and others.
"..." The voices of Wang Baobao's conversation with the Seventh Prince came and disappeared one after another, and the two people who were standing together in strange postures, one was apprehensive, the other was wary and shocked, and they seemed to be full of excitement everywhere. The imminent restraint is actually reddening.
Especially when the bright moonlight shone down, Zhou Zhiruo vaguely saw the blood-red wound on Zhao Min's shoulder, and with just one glance, her heart was filled with many unspeakable worries, but it was only a moment, because Zhao Min had been Staring at her and never moving his eyes, for some reason, his face was suddenly angry and shy, happy and sad, and he couldn't understand what Zhao Min meant.
[Zhou Zhiruo is my fiancée of Zhang Wuji...]
[Zhao Min, when we meet again in the future, we are enemies, enemies, don't show mercy to me anymore]
Zhao Min looked at Zhou Zhiruo's delicate and beautiful face, and thought of the murmurs he had heard in the past. Sure enough, such a cruel woman is the most hated and loved. I really don't know what to do. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but "hehe" Two sneers.
[Minmin, why are you looking at me like this]
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo only felt that Zhao Min's pretty face became brighter, and then she couldn't see it in the blink of an eye. She was too close. The moment Zhao Min kissed her lips, she was at a loss and didn't know how to react.
Normally, because of the sudden arrival of the lingering fragrance, she might snort or push her away, but no matter what kind of possibility it is now, it is impossible for Zhou Zhiruo to implement it, because it will cause commotion and lead to the people who are searching outside. Pay attention to Wang Baobao and the Seventh Prince, if you want to ensure your own safety, it may be difficult to take away the injured Zhao Min with a large number of Mongolian soldiers.
Zhao Min only dared to turn the hot and humid lips of the two of them into blushes all over her face because she had a thorough understanding of her own thoughts and the current situation. Zhou Zhiruo really felt that she was going to be broken in this kiss.
Obviously, he once built a wall to isolate all the feelings that should not be involuntarily, and built an invisible sense of distance between the two, but at this moment, he was completely defeated by the overwhelming fragrance.
The cherry lips were soft, and she was distracted for a while. Suddenly, Zhao Min bit Zhou Zhiruo's upper lip hard enough to bleed, and then leaned her head silently on her shoulder.
〔You and Zhang Wuji already have a promise, don't you〕
She silently said to herself, and also said to sister Zhou in her heart.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt that it was so quiet and cold outside. Zhou Zhiruo, who was at a loss, suddenly heard the human being in her arms say: "If I am not a Mongolian, nor a princess, but a Han girl from a commoner family, sister Zhou, you may would be nicer to me."
After repeatedly chewing on the syllables of this sentence, I realized that my heart is clearly revealed, like a light rain, pouring three parts of soft pity in my eyes, caressing three parts of bottomless sadness in my heart, and still One-third of the shoulders are the heavy responsibility of expelling captives and restoring the country and Everbright Emei, and the remaining one is the cruelty of gently pushing away feelings.
"Follow me back to the inn first, and I'll help you treat your wound."
Her voice is so gentle, like a prairie fire meeting a torrential rain, white snow meeting a ray of spring breeze, the fire goes out in an instant, the ice and snow melt, and there is no trace of coldness anymore.
Zhao Min was in a daze, she didn't know how she was brought back to the inn by Zhou Zhiruo, and how she gave her medicine.
Until the wick was cut off, the candle flame dimmed, and the room was pitch black, and the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly, Zhou Zhiruo left like a gust of wind.
The front was closed, and it was like a dream. When she woke up the next day, she saw a letter left on the table. Her heart sank, she took out the letter from the envelope, and then opened it. Shiju □□, since we are destined to be like this, we can’t force ourselves to come. The book is in a hurry, and we don’t want to say anything. The princess is a smart person, so he will understand the meaning, Zhou Zhiruo writes].
Another hurried farewell, who is whose journey, who is whose desolation, seems to have no definite answer.
She raised her head and looked out of the window, a ray of scorching sun turned a few angles with the wind, and finally occupied the hazy field of vision as she wished, why there was no warm yellow temperature, but the coolness that was suffocating in her heart poured into her eyes.
When she heard a...heartbreaking voice, she burst into tears and said, "If I have to force it, what should you do?"
……
After Fan Yao was rescued, the imperial court pursued them with heavy troops, and most of them couldn't stay any longer. After much deliberation, Zhang Wuji decided to go out of the city first.
Later, together with Zhou Zhiruo and Fan Yao, they went south all the way, passing through Shandong, and saw a large group of defeated Mongolian soldiers dragging their armor and throwing their helmets, avoiding roads and fleeing. Only then did they know that Zhu Yuanzhang had won several victorious battles in Huaibei Company, and defeated the Yuan soldiers.
They were overjoyed, Fan Yao saw that there was nothing serious at present, so he advised Zhang Wuji to marry Zhou Zhiruo as soon as possible, since he had already said something beforehand, there was nothing to hesitate, he agreed immediately.
Zhiruo also nodded brightly, and said: "Brother Wuji, after I get married, I want to return to Emei to officially take over as the head, and then I will discuss with all the senior sisters about fighting against Yuan with you, and join you righteous fighters against Yuan."
Zhang Wuji was startled, staring at Zhou Zhiruo intently, and asked: "Zhiruo, you mean that you are willing to take the Emei people and the Mingjiao together to fight against the Yuan army's Bolang, do you know that this is very dangerous."
[As a teacher, I have two vows, one is to make Emei great and become the leader of the martial arts, and the other is to drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty]
Zhang Wuji saw Zhou Zhiruo nod his head in a general way, and saw that her eyes were full of determination, he realized that what she said was serious and sincere, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, he held her hand and said: "This is very good, Mingjiao intends to save the people of the world from fire and water In the middle, when I retire, I will take you back to the mountains and forests after I abdicate, and live a stable life from now on."
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and sighed deeply: "No, don't say that you are the leader of Mingjiao, I am the leader of Emei, and I still bear the master's will and the heavy responsibility of the sect on my shoulders, so I can't do anything for myself."
Hearing her resolute words, Zhang Wuji frowned slightly, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded, stopped talking, and continued to pamper her on the road.
But in January, the good news of the Mingjiao leader's big wedding spread all over the world, and all factions came to congratulate him with gifts. As for the capital, everything was as usual, except that the Ruyang Palace would occasionally hear the chaotic sound of the piano.
"Princess!" As soon as Zhao Min's subordinates stepped into the courtyard, they saw a pair of white and slender fingertips plucking the strings lightly. , and finally there was a loud bang, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Zhao Min looked at the man who came to report every day with a sullen face, and asked: "What news did you bring today, is it someone from a decent family or Mingjiao who was captured by the Seventh Prince and my father?"
The man's heart froze, he shook his head, cupped his hands and replied, "I want to report to the princess, the martial arts people have not appeared in Dadu recently, and they all went to Haozhou."
"Haozhou?" Zhao Min stared intently at the man and smiled slightly, "What happened?"
"No, it's the leader of the Ming religion and the head of Emei who will set up a heaven and earth auditorium in the hall of the richest gentry in Haozhou on the [-]th day of March. They all went to congratulate them." It sounded like a thunderbolt in my ears.
"Zhou Zhiruo is getting married?" After being startled, an unbelievable syllable overflowed from his lips. The man nodded again when he heard the words. Seeing this, Zhao Min sneered meaningfully and asked, "Is Chen Youliang in the mansion?" , and told him to come and see me."
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After the man left, the smile on Zhao Min's face became more treacherous and vivid, and he took out the letter that he had always carried with him, read it carefully, and read out the three words in it. , "Zhou Zhiruo."
Closing her eyes, she tore the letter into pieces until she couldn't make out any single word, she sighed suddenly.
[You think that if you leave a letter, I will retreat in the face of difficulties, and you think that things that are reluctant to come can be blown away with the wind]
Zhao Min opened his eyes, straightened his body slowly, looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, and said each word in frustration: "I want to go against the wind, but I want to force it."
……
On March [-]th, all members of the Ming Cult changed into new clothes. The hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, and a large vertical scroll with the words "beautiful children and beautiful women" hung in the center.
"Girl, you were born with a beautiful face, and with today's wedding dress, you are really a country." Hearing the voice of the maid beside her, Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the door of the bronze mirror, then lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, the servant girl stopped talking and continued to move. The comb touched Zhou Zhiruo's strands of black and shiny hair, and it slid down from head to tail, until the rosy beauty was startled by the red candlelight. After a while, she heard the sound of a comb falling to the ground and saw a familiar figure in the bronze mirror.
"Follow me." It was Zhao Min who came. She knocked out the maid who helped Zhou Zhiruo make up, and then took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said.
[Minmin, what are you doing here]
He was flustered and flustered in his heart, but his face became calmer after the shock. He pushed Zhao Min's clenched hand away, and said lightly, "Today is the marriage day between Emei and Mingjiao. The princess should stop joking."
Sure enough, just as Zhao Min expected, Zhou Zhiruo felt an inexplicable sense of distance when she opened her mouth. She asked, "Master Zhou really likes him? Do you really want to marry him?"
Life is unsatisfactory, ten or seventy-eight, she admits that this wedding is selfish, one is because she doesn't want Zhang Wuji to treat her, and the other is that the leader of the Anti-Yuan has never been a woman, maybe from Spirit Snake Island. After making a decision, she understood that love is important, but sometimes the sect is loyal, the common people are responsible, and the country's righteousness is more important.
Zhou Zhiruo looked into her eyes and said slowly: "I think the princess is a smart person, so I don't need to say more, you already know the answer."
"Zhou Zhiruo, if I say that I don't know, how should you tell me?" Looking at each other for one second, two seconds, three seconds...Zhou Zhiruo finally mustered up the courage in her complicated heart, and wanted to tell Zhao Min the last thing she wanted to hear, herself. The last thing I want to say but have to say is ready to say.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the first syllable was moved, it would be fleeting. The cherry lips were soft and fragrant. Zhao Min wrapped his arms around Zhou Zhiruo's neck, and kissed her deeply on her lips.
Zhou Zhiruo was startled, at a loss, she pushed away the person close at hand, pointed at Zhao Min, the words rolled in her throat, trembling, murmuring, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only call out in a deep voice: "Zhao Min !"
Hearing his name, Zhao Min suddenly regained his sanity, with a long smile in the corner of his eyes, as if nothing had happened, and said: "Look... did you just want to say that you like Zhang Wuji? Why? I did such a thing to you, but you didn't even say a word of blame."
"You!" Zhou Zhiruo finally understood the meaning behind Zhao Min's words, she just guessed what she wanted to say, she sighed in her heart, she was no longer moved, she just said, "The princess is really a smart person, then I won't Keep it secret, Zhiruo is indeed willing to marry him." After saying that, Zhou Zhiruo picked up the red hijab on the table and walked out of Zhao Min's side.
Hearing what she said decisively, Zhao Min felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly hoped that for a moment, he could turn around and leave as cruelly as she did.
"Sister Zhou." The ending sounded awkward, sounding inexplicably lost.
"We've never been in love before?" Zhou Zhiruo stopped in Zhao Min's fleeting words, and suddenly felt a heavy rain that could never be seen in her eyes. It seemed that the more out of control, the less sad she seemed. Answered, "No."
"You're lying." There was a quick retort from behind, and Zhou Zhiruo was at a loss again with the unseen lethality.
She paused, then replied, "I didn't lie."
"You have." The cold look melted again, and Zhou Zhiruo forced herself to say something [but this was deviant].
"Princess." The short, tone of the calling voice, and a hidden real answer, brushed her ears repeatedly, she told herself and also told Zhao Min, "The auspicious time is coming, if you come to congratulate, Then go to the front hall to sit and watch the ceremony, if not, please feel free."
Wearing a bright red brocade robe and a phoenix crown and Xiapei, the graceful person continued to walk. The moment she was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly saw a beautiful figure flashing, and a young girl came to her with a smile, took her hand, and said: "Zhou My sister is wearing a red scarf, if no one supports her, she might fall if she can't reach the hall."
[What about the leader of Mingjiao, even if the king of heaven wants to marry you, I will rob you of this marriage. Sister Zhou, you can’t blame me, this is all the result of your unwillingness to face your own heart]
She was talking to herself, and she was also talking to sister Zhou in her heart.
At the moment of application, the auspicious time has come, and the trumpet blares repeatedly. Standing on the red felt, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Zhiruo coming, but when he saw Zhao Min beside him, his heart shuddered, and the group of heroes also Afterwards, they shouted and shouted, many masters from Mingjiao and various sects had suffered from Zhao Min when they were in Wan'an Temple, and those who were more reckless wanted to step forward.
Yang Xiao opened his arms, blocked the front, and shouted: "Wait a minute." Then he said to the crowd, "The visitor is a guest, today is the day of great joy for the leader of our sect and the head of the Emei Sect, everyone, let's take a look at the Emei Sect. He Mingjiao's thin noodles, put the old Liangzi aside for now, and don't be rude to Miss Zhao, "
After saying that, he couldn't wink with Peng Yingyu, the two knew what they meant, went around to the back hall, and went out to check, and see how many experts Zhao Min brought with him, as for Zhou Zhiruo, she held Zhao Min's hand tightly and bowed. Said: "The princess is inconvenient today, you go back first."
Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji who was walking over, smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Zhou, I still have a few words to say to Master Zhang, and then I will leave."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart moved when she heard the words, and she seemed to sense what she was going to do next, and when Zhang Wuji came over, she took Zhou Zhiruo's hand to protect her, and said: "I don't know if the princess is here, What are you talking about? It’s not too late to talk about it after saluting.”
"After saluting, it's already too late." She shook her head, with a mysterious smile on her lips, then leaned into Zhang Wuji's ear, raised her heels, and said softly, "You are not allowed to marry Miss Zhou today."
The voice was very soft, but Zhou Zhiruo could hear it very clearly. Zhang Wuji couldn't help but change his face, and said angrily: "Zhao Min! I respect you as the daughter of the princess. If you come here intentionally to disrupt the situation, please forgive Zhang Wuji for being rude." , take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the door. Unexpectedly, Zhao Min stretched out his right hand, stretched it out in front of him, and said, "Okay, let's see what this is. If you want to know what's going on, just follow me."
Zhang Wuji glanced at it, he was taken aback, and was about to grab it casually, but Zhao Min was even faster, closed his palms, put the thing into his arms, and walked towards the gate like an arrow leaving the string.
Zhang Wuji let go of Zhou Zhiruo's hand, and said anxiously: "Zhao...Miss Zhao, please stay." Zhao Min didn't obey, and walked faster, Zhang Wuji was very panicked, rushed forward, and called, "Miss Zhao , I promise you, I won’t get married today, you wait for me first.”
Zhang Wuji turned around and saw Zhou Zhiruo standing there, he was very apologetic, he paused and said, "Zhiruo, I have some difficulties, please understand, Zhang Wuji will never go back on our marriage agreement, just A few days later."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zhiruo's face suddenly became very different, like a big storm sweeping through every season, leaving only the coldness of winter: "Today is our wedding day, and you want to sacrifice me?" Go? Humiliate us Emei in public?"
Zhao Min had already rushed out of the door, Zhang Wuji saw this, his heart was agitated, and he felt that the matter in front of him was extremely urgent and he had to make a decisive decision, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhiruo, the kindness my foster father has given me is as great as a mountain, I hope you will understand .”
Zhang Wuji said sorry a few times, but still chased him out. As for Zhao Min at the door, hearing Zhou Zhiruo's cold voice, he couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself [Sister Zhou, are you so reluctant to part with him, or do you have other worries at all] .
After a while, the group of heroes who were stunned and speechless suddenly began to whisper, saying that although it is not a strange thing for two women to fight for a husband, it would be shameful for the person involved to abandon the marriage The great humiliation made Emei even more embarrassing, and he denounced Zhang Wuji for being unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
Yin Tianzheng, Song Yuanqiao, Yang Xiao and others didn't know the reason, they all wanted to comfort her, and asked her to wait for Zhang Wuji's return before asking, but they saw Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly reached out and tore off the red scarf that covered her face, threw it on the ground, and said, "Where is the Emei disciple?"
All the heroines in Emei, except the future Ding Minjun, stood up one after another and said in unison: "What is the order from the master?"
"Back to Emei." Zhou Zhiruo said loudly, and everyone flew up with her, made a slight turn in mid-air, and went up to the roof, like a red cloud, floating away to the east.
[Zhao Min, you let me be ridiculed by the whole world, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, but I just want to say, this time you still won]
The human face doesn't know where to go, the peach blossom is still smiling at the spring breeze, maybe you are right, if you are just a Han girl from a commoner family, maybe I will treat you better, but it is a pity that there is no such thing in life.
……
"Miss Zhao, you forced me to be an unrighteous person and be scolded by the heroes of the world, but you should hurry up and tell me where my adoptive father is." Zhang Wuji followed Zhao Min several feet away, stopped behind her, and said anxiously.
It turned out that what Zhao Min held in his palm to show Zhang Wuji was Xie Xun's light yellow hair. Zhang Wuji recognized it immediately when he saw it, but he knew that among the congratulators, except for Mingjiao and Wudang sect, almost Everyone is willing to win Xie Xun, either to avenge his vengeance for massacres in the past, or to seize the Dragon Slaying Sword. In this way, they cannot explain their difficulties to Zhou Zhiruo in front of the heroes.
"What's the rush, I'll take you there now." Zhao Min said, Zhang Wuji understood, and the two left like a puff of smoke.
It took about half an hour to reach the grass not far from a house, Zhang Wuji felt relieved, raised his eyebrows and asked: "My adoptive father is really in that house, you won't cheat?"
Zhao Minxing glanced back at him, and said with disgust: "You are really strange, since you all come with me, there is no reason not to believe me."
When Zhang Wuji heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and then Zhao Min continued to say: "Chen Youliang brought me here. I saw Xie Lion King locked inside with my own eyes. Otherwise, you would think that the yellow bouquet in my hand Where did the hair come from?"
"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being." Zhang Wuji gave her a cross-eyed glance, then got up and walked over. Seeing this, Zhao Min took a step ahead and walked in front, "I'll go in and have a look first, so that you don't say anything again. I cheated."
"Chen Youliang, it's me, Princess Shaomin, are you there?" Zhao Min cautiously said something while approaching the hut.
There was no response, and he knocked on the door twice again. Zhang Wuji became suspicious, kicked the door latch and broke it, the door was opened, and there was no one there, and immediately the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he said angrily: "Zhao Min! You lied again!" Me, you really don’t change your bad nature.”
"I didn't, I clearly saw Xie Lion King here before." She was even more flustered, and hurriedly explained.
Zhang Wuji thought of Yin Li's incident and saw the incident in front of him, suddenly he couldn't hold back his grief and indignation. He wanted to slap him, but he heard the sound of horseshoes outside and rushed out. He saw Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang leading more than a hundred cavalry and The archers, either in front or behind, walked sparsely and stood not far from the house.
"Wrap up the house for this king." Wang Baobao gave the order, Zhao Min's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran out. At a glance, he saw that there were Shenjian Baxiong and Feinu cavalry in the crowd, and thought to himself [not good] to turn around in a hurry. After passing the end, Zhang Wuji's face was covered with frost, and he shouted to himself, "Zhao Min, what else do you have to explain, you have been planning me from the beginning to the end, escaping marriage, abandoning Zhi Ruo, lying to me The adoptive father is here, you really have a face like peaches and plums, and a heart like a snake."
Zhao Min saw the anger on his face, and saw Chen Youliang's look of a villain, his heart was clear, and he was about to explain, but unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji circled with his left hand, and kicked back with his right, and he had already crossed his neck. Said: "The facts are in front of me, I finally understand, for a vicious woman like you, you must have killed my cousin, because I was soft-hearted and wanted to take you to confront your adoptive father before, so I fell into your tricks. I tell you to go to the underworld to be with my cousin, and I will kill your brother Wang again."
"Zhang Wuji, if you dare to touch a single hair of my sister, I promise you will die here immediately." Wang Baobao said angrily, while Zhao Min stretched out his finger to poke Zhang Wuji's chest, and choked out a sentence on his lips, "If you kill me, you will never leave. If you want to go out, it is better to hold me hostage to escape."
"No need, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Min tremblingly said again, "Okay! Then if you kill me, you will never know who the real murderer is." After finishing speaking, she closed her mouth tightly eyes.
Zhang Wuji remembered Yin Li's hatred, and seeing today's situation, he was going to strangle her to death, but seeing her expression of resignation to death, he suddenly became suspicious and relaxed his hands.
Zhao Min choked a few times, took another breath, and then shouted at Chen Youliang, "Chen Youliang, you are really cunning, you have joined forces with your master Cheng Kun to deceive me, tell me quickly, the golden lion king Xie Xun was killed by your master Where to take it?"
Chen Youliang hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth: "When I go back to the princess, my master has always been missing, and he never tells others what he wants to do. Naturally, I don't know."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Wuji became even more anxious, and shouted in a low voice: "Zhao Min, you clearly know that Chen Youliang is a cautious person, even if you know the whereabouts of my adoptive father, you won't tell, why ask?"
"It's not that you are stupid, thinking that Chen and I
