Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

clothes, like snow. People, Ruyu. But it is an alienation that cannot be approached. At another glance, it was just a beautiful but lifeless painting, pale and gray. There is such a painting by the window on the second floor of Fuman Building, whether it is a buddy or a guest on the same building, they are always amazed and sighed. As soon as Ming Er went upstairs, he saw it, and couldn't help but a smile of spring breeze and shame appeared on his face. He walked over calmly, and called softly, "Brother Feng Yi." Feng Yi raised his head, and what caught his eyes was a pale green figure, standing like a green lotus facing the wind, with a clean and elegant posture, with a slight smile on his lips, he couldn't help but relax. "Young Master Ming."

Ming Er nodded, "Brother Feng Yi is waiting for someone?" His eyes swept across the table, but there was only a pot or a cup of tea. "Just sit down." Feng Yi shook his head. "Oh." Ming Er smiled, "It's almost noon, how about having dinner together?" "Okay." Feng Yi nodded indifferently. Ming Er sat down opposite him, called Xiao Er to order food, after Xiao Er stepped back, he looked at Feng Yi, a little curious but not unpleasant, looked at it for a while, and said: " Brother Feng Yi looks very similar to Qi Shao, the only difference is their eyes."

Mentioning Lan Qi, Feng Yi paused with the hand holding the teacup, and then held it to his lips with a normal expression. And Ming Er didn't say any more, picked up the tea that Xiao Er poured, smelled it, and then took a sip. After drinking a cup of tea, the two remained silent, but the guests at the next tables kept looking over here, amazed, admiring, whispering, and laughing quietly, but no one dared to go forward , those two people in white clothes and green shirts are like the blue sky and white clouds, high above them. "Second Young Master and Yinyin have known each other for a long time?" After a long while, Feng Yi rarely spoke first.

Ming Er smiled lightly and said, "We have been friends for a long time, but we just met recently." "Oh." Feng Yi responded, and stopped talking, staring blankly at the teacup in his hand. "Brother Feng Yi." Ming Er suddenly called out. Feng Yi looked up at him. "Sometimes, some things can only be kept in the heart for a lifetime, but sometimes, some things should be said in person, otherwise it will be a lifetime of regret." You, but softened your heart at that moment. Feng Yi's heart trembled, and he looked at the person in front of him, those eyes were clear but seemed to be shrouded in mist and it was hard to see clearly, he was very close but felt far away, his face was gentle, the pleasant tranquility was profound and wide tolerance.After a long while, a very faint smile finally appeared on his face, "People in the Jianghu call the second son an 'exile', which is true."

"Although I'm new to Qi Shao and Brother Fengyi, but I have a bond of confidant, and I hope Brother Fengyi will not be rude." Ming Er said calmly and sincerely. "No way." Feng Yi shook his head, a pair of black eyes completely different from Lan Qi's was gloomy, "Second Young Master is right, it's just..." He clenched his teacup unconsciously, "It's just this life Maybe it's the only way... maybe... even this is impossible..." In the end it turned into a whisper. Ming Er was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't know the truth, I just think Qi Shao and Feng Yi brother Ming Ming Di Hua Zengying, but why Feng Yi brother..."

There was a sudden pause in his voice, because of the bone-piercing pain in Feng Yi's eyes, the finger bones of the hands holding the teacup turned white, and he murmured, "Di Hua Zeng Ying..." Seeing his appearance, Ming Er couldn't help but sigh softly, "Since Brother Feng Yi can't let it go, why don't you pick it up again?" "Pick it up again?" A gleam of light flashed in Feng Yi's black eyes, "Restart..." But in the blink of an eye, the light dimmed again, and the eyes returned to darkness, "Do you think a broken jade can be as good as it was before? Can it be taken back again?"

Those black eyes looked at Ming Er darkly, at that moment, he clearly felt the darkness and despair in that person's heart. "That's impossible." Feng Yi's voice was bitter and difficult, "let alone..." "Oh, this is really where we don't meet each other in life!" Suddenly a voice sounded, and Feng Yi felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body shook, and then turned his head to look out the window. On the street, Lan Qi, dressed in purple and jade fan, was looking flamboyantly at the four men and women who were far away. Ming Er glanced at them and recognized the two pairs of brothers and sisters from the small town at the foot of Mount Meng that day.

Those four people were also surprised and fearful, and looked at Lan Qi with a mixed feeling of inexplicable reason. There are thousands of martial arts heroes on Yingshan Mountain, and they are among them. Lan Qi can't see them, but they recognize them at a glance. When I got out of him, I found out what kind of people I had offended after asking around. Lan Qishao, the current head of the Yunzhou Lan family, one of the six great families in the martial arts world, is known as the "Bi Yao" by everyone in the world, and he is respected and kept at a distance by everyone. "Where are you four going?" Lan Qi glanced at the head of the pink-clothed younger sister, but there was no purple jade hairpin. The two men each gave a purple jade hairpin, and they are very fond of it, and I haven't thanked the two of you yet."

The faces of the two senior brothers were blushing, and the eyes of the two senior sisters suddenly showed resentment. "We can meet again today, how come we are destined, how about having a glass of wine together?" Lan Qi said with a smile, ignoring the faces of the four of them. The four of them glanced at each other, and then the blue-clothed senior clasped his fists in salute and said, "Under Qi Zang, I am a disciple of Ranzhou Shi Buzhuan. This is my junior Shi Rufeng, this is my third junior sister Shi Ruyun, and my fourth junior sister Qiu Zhuqing." Pointing to the silver-clothed man, pink-clothed woman, and yellow-clothed woman respectively, he introduced, "That day I didn't know how much Qi Shao was offended, and I hope Qi Shao Haihan."

"Oh, so it's Shi Buhuan's children and disciples." Lan Qi suddenly nodded, looking around the four people, "That old man Shi is not good-looking, and his martial arts is not very good, but his children and disciples are all handsome. It's better..." The voice trailed off slowly, and the blue eyes sparkled, "Why don't you all follow me, I have always liked beautiful people like you." The four of them were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then came to their senses in an instant, their faces flushed immediately, Shi Rufeng couldn't help it first, and blurted out: "You...don't deceive people too much! I...I..."

Lan Qi closed her jade fan, walked a few steps closer, looked at Shi Rufeng, "How are you?" Shi Rufeng was swayed by the blue waves, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't speak for a moment. With spring water in Lan Qibi's eyes, it slowly flowed past the other three, a smile slowly bloomed on her lips, her captivating beauty, but also her heart-breaking ruthlessness, the three of them were infatuated and cold for a moment. "Brothers start thinking when they see the color, and sisters are half-hearted. In this case, why not follow the desire in your heart." The jade fan swung open, and a gust of cool wind blew the four people's faces. At this moment, the faces of the four of them turned pale, and they stared blankly at the person in front of him in purple clothes and blue eyes who were as evil as a devil. Lan Qi laughed happily and sarcastically, pointed at Qi Zang's chest with the jade fan, and said, "There are so many dirty desires here, why bother to cover them up, it's so disgusting." "You...we...why are you..." Qi Zang looked at Lan Qi with a pale face.Was it just because of the conflict in the restaurant that day?So there is such a vicious tease? "Because..." Lan Qiyu covered her lips with her fan and smiled, her blue eyes filled with red dust and a bewitching demeanor in the three worlds, "I am a demon at first, if a demon doesn't do things that make others feel miserable, wouldn't he be worthy of this name?" .” "Just because of this?" Shi Ruyun asked tremblingly. "Little beauty thinks there are other things?" Lan Qi turned her head to look at her, "Oh, yes, there is another reason, because I like you beauty, so I want to separate you and your senior brother Qi." "Really?" Shi Ruyun's face paled instantly. "Of course, this young master has always been greedy for beauty, let alone such a rare beauty as a little beauty." Lan Qi's voice was extremely gentle, "If you don't want to follow this young master, the brothers and sisters go home, you marry me It would be great to marry Hemei for the rest of my life, and I will definitely give you a congratulatory gift as well." The four of them looked at each other, and then quickly dodged away, all of them looked ashamed and ashamed. "Everyone can make mistakes, so why do you have to do this?" Qiu Zhu, who had been silent all this time, looked at Lan Qi intently. The four of them grew up together since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts. The senior brother had a crush on the third senior sister, and she had a crush on the second senior brother.Just because they wanted to enter the rivers and lakes, just because they wanted to watch the grand meeting of Yingshan, so they left the teacher's school, and then encountered the disaster of this life. Just because of their own obsession. The senior brothers were obsessed with the woman in purple who was so bright and beautiful that day, and she and the senior sister admired the elegant and fairy-like young man in Tsing Yi. This single-mindedness betrayed the original feelings of the four of them, but this is also human nature.The four of them tacitly did not mention it, because they wanted to forget what happened at the foot of Mount Meng, and they loved each other as brothers and sisters...but he wanted to bring out this betrayal and ugliness so that they could no longer ignore it. Can't kid myself! Why did he do this?They were almost strangers... Bi Yao, is this cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel?Is that why everyone in the world fears it? The little opportunity for the four of them was lost! Is this the punishment for their alienation and greed? "Because the most disgusting thing in this world is betrayal." Lan Qi spat out lightly. Qiu Zhuqing smiled miserably, turned around and left without looking at his senior brothers and sisters again. Qi Zang, Shi Rufeng, and Shi Ruyun looked at Lan Qi with complicated eyes, feeling resentment, hatred, fear, and... Feelings that they couldn't even describe, turned around, and left in one direction. The veil that was once beautiful and thought to be beautiful forever was brutally removed, revealing their own ugly and greedy true faces, how can they return to the past as if nothing happened. And this person, Lan Qishao, gave them the most profound and ruthless knife on top of their original best, which he will never forget in his life! "Hey, I did another bad thing, it's really satisfying." Lan Qi waved her jade fan and looked at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds boundless, "It's so easy to give up, so easy to give up, what's so good. "There is nothing in this world that can last forever. Often the most beautiful and most important things become the ugliest and most contemptible in the blink of an eye. So... let's uncover them all. Despair and pain are at least real, and the false beauty is the most beautiful." disgusting. The phoenix eyes upstairs just stared deeply at Lan Qi, who was smiling and coquettish downstairs, with a look of joy and... ruthlessness. As if sensing the gaze, Lan Qi raised her head, a little surprised, then shook her fan and smiled, "It's true that we never meet again in life." She pointed her toes, flew straight up, and landed on the window rail like a purple swallow, When the waist was folded again, the person flew in through the window and landed lightly on the ground. The guests in the upstairs hall suddenly saw a person flying in through the window, and they all stared in surprise. "Brother." Lan Qi looked at Feng Yi and called out softly, then turned her eyes and landed on Ming Er with a tingle, "Second Young Master, when did you have such a speculative relationship with your brother? Meal?" "Brother Feng Yi is such a talented person, how can I not admire you?" Ming Er smiled lightly. "Oh?" Lan Qi shifted her eyes to look at Feng Yi with a bit of resentment, and said aggrievedly, "Brother would rather have dinner with an outsider than talk to my younger brother." Feng Yi looked at him with black eyes, and there was a helpless pain in his eyes, "... Yinyin." Lan Qi was stunned by this call, but it was only for a moment, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet, how about I go with my brother?" "En." Feng Yi nodded. Lan Qiyi lifted her robe and sat down, but Bi Mou turned to Ming Er, "Second Young Master, Senior Qiu was the first to go to sea, why don't you do it differently? Wouldn't Miss Qiu be disappointed if she knew?" Ming Er picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lan Qi, then raised his eyes and smiled elegantly, and said, "Isn't Ming Er's reason the same as Qi Shao's reason?" Lan Qi laughed lightly when she heard the words, her green eyes flashed a bright light, and then she sighed long, "What should I do, Second Young Master, I find that I like you more and more, there is really no one in this world How can I know this young master as well as you do?" Ming Er looked at Lan Qi with misty eyes when he heard the words, "Isn't that what a bosom friend should do?" "Best friend?" Lan Qi raised her eyebrows, then smiled, and said, "Second Young Master, why don't we split the peach and cut off the sleeves? It's more intimate that way, and it will definitely make the whole world look at each other, how fun it is thing." "Pfft!" Feng Yi sprayed all the tea on the table. "Brother is all right." Lan Qi patted him caringly. Feng Yi waved his hands again and again. "Part peaches and broken sleeves?" Ming Eryi had a calm and breezy appearance, "Seventh Young Master has both yin and yang, why not become Seventh Young Lady, how about the Ming matchmaker marrying?" "Oh, Second Young Master, don't you betray Miss Qiu's family by doing this?" Lan Qiyu tapped her fan on the table, "I hate people who are half-hearted and can't keep their promises the most." "Huh?" Ming Er was puzzled, "When will I make any promises to Miss Qiu?" "No?" Lan Qi frowned, very puzzled, "Didn't the second son and Ms. Qiu write a poem and gift clothes to each other for life?" Ming Er smiled, "Miss Qiu is unparalleled in talent and beauty, and any man would fall in love with her, but marriage is a matter of matchmaker's words and parents' orders, how dare I act rashly." "Oh!" Lan Qi knocked on the jade fan in a trance, "Thinking about it carefully, the second son did not talk about marriage that day. I guess this young master thinks that you are too compatible, so I think you are a couple in my heart." Ming Er smiled lightly again, and said: "Speaking of this promise, doesn't Qi Shao have a marriage contract? But to say and act like this, isn't it also suspected of betrayal?" Lan Qi waved her jade fan and said nonchalantly and took it for granted: "I am called a 'monster'. This demon is doing unrighteous things, doing illegal things, breaking promises, and harming the country and the people, so the little engagement is broken. What else is it worth?" Ming Er was taken aback by these remarks, and then said after a while: "Seven people who are as young as jade, why should they be so self-deprecating." Lan Qi shook her jade fan and shook her head, "I am very happy to be a monster, I am not self-deprecating, besides..." Bi Mou fixed Ming Er's eyes, and smiled very happily, "The promise is originally Used to betray!" At that moment, Ming Er found a trace of deep and hopeless pain from that evil smiling face and from the depths of those unpredictable blue eyes, and turned his gaze to Feng Yi, those black eyes were filled with darkness.Heh... this is the dead knot, this is the dead spot!No matter how hard you hide, you can't hide it! "Qi Shao said that he hates people who are half-hearted and can't keep their promises the most. Could it be that he also hates himself?" Ming Er sighed and looked at Lan Qi very tenderly. Lan Qi smiled unrestrainedly, and deserved it very lightly but clearly, "Yes." Yes. This soft word turned out to be an invisible sharp knife, piercing Feng Yi's heart, blood was dripping from the heart, and the pain was so painful! Ming Er glanced at Feng Yi's face whose anger had been robbed instantly, there was no hidden pain in those eyes, then looked at Lan Qi who was still waving a jade fan in a coquettish manner, and smiled slightly.These two people have the same life and fate?If one of them is lost, is it double perish? Holding the pot, refilling Lan Qi's and Feng Yi's empty cups with tea, raising their eyes, meeting Lan Qi's gaze, they each pursed their lips and smiled meaningfully. "Coincidentally, you are also here." An extremely cheerful voice sounded, and the three turned their heads, and saw Yu Wenluo, Ning Lang, Ren Qi, Xie Mo, and Song Gen standing in front of the stairs on the second floor. So Lan Qi sighed once again, "Oh my goodness, this is really where we don't meet each other in life!" After seeing the ceremony, they decided to go together before they even had lunch. Lan Qi, Ming Er, and Feng Yi had each sat at a table for eight people. Xie Mo and Song Gen took the first step They sat opposite Lan Qi, Ren Qi sat on Feng Yi's side, Yu Wenluo sat on Ming Er's side, and the rest of Ning Lang had to sit with Lan Qi. Senior brother, I feel at ease at last. Lan Qi looked at Ning Lang who was cautiously keeping a distance as much as possible beside her, and couldn't help itching, and softly called out, "Ning... Lang..." Ning Lang jumped when he heard the sound, and looked at Lan Qi with wide eyes and full of vigilance, as if he would leap away immediately if there was any trouble. When Lan Qi saw his reaction, her intestines trembled, "Ning Lang, I heard that Fumanlou's 'Golden Soup Wine' is very good. Let's have a glass of Jiaobei wine later, shall we?" Ning Lang's face was flushed red, and his body involuntarily moved to the side again, but his eyes looked at the opposite senior brother for help. Xie Mo and Song Gen looked at Ning Lang, who was blushing on the opposite side, and lamented that Qian Bishan's treasure was discovered by others. Then they looked at Lan Qi, evaluated each other's strength, and then lamented that they might never be able to do so in the future. In the past, he played normally, so he ignored Ning Lang's eyes asking for help as a matter of course. "Are you okay? Ning Lang." Lan Qi asked in a low voice, leaning towards Ning Lang again. The senior brother didn't respond for a long time, so he turned to the righteous brother again, and Ning Lang looked at Yu Wenluo pitifully.It seemed that no matter what he said, it would end up being a joke in front of Lan Qi, so, brother, please tell him how to answer Lan Qi. "Ning Lang, why don't you look at this young master?" Lan Qi stretched out her hand, the jade fan supported Ning Lang's cheek, and turned his face to her, "This young master is much prettier than Senior Brother Yuwen." "You...you...I...I..." Ning Lang stuttered when he met Shang Lanqi. "Speaking of which, Seventh Young Master, Second Young Master, you are all the second batch to go to sea." It was Yu Wenluo's righteousness. "En." Ming Er nodded, pouring tea into the teacups in front of everyone gracefully. "It's still some time before going to sea, what's your plan next?" Yu Wenluo moved his fingertips, wanting to take out a pen and paper from his pocket. "Nothing at the moment." Ming Er smiled lightly. "Where is Qi Shao?" Yu Wenluo turned to Lan Qi. "Ben Shao..." Lan Qi smiled meaningfully, "I'm going to Huazhou to visit my old friend." "Oh." Yu Wenluo looked at Ren Qi who was quietly drinking tea, "Brother Ren, are you the first batch to go to sea?" "Yeah." Ren Qi nodded. Yu Wenluo looked here and there, which side?Turning his eyes, he saw Ming Er who was leisurely drinking tea beside him, his heart moved, and he made a decisive decision, "Seventh Young Master, what old friend are you going to visit? Anyway, you can go to sea through Huazhou and then go to Yingzhou. I just entered the rivers and lakes. If you want to learn from everyone, Qi Shao will take me all the way, okay? I promise I won’t cause you any trouble, and I can also help you with small things, such as keeping accounts, copying books, and talking what……" Lan Qibi glanced at Yu Wenluo, "Okay." ah!It was so easy to say yes!Yu Wenluo was overjoyed at the moment, and looked at Ming Er with a smile on his face, "Second Young Master, you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you come with us, there will be more people." Ming Er heard the words and turned to look at Yu Wenluo, seeing the hope on his face, he couldn't help hesitating. "Brother Ming, you and Qi Shao are so speculative, there must be a lot to talk about along the way, it is more interesting to travel with several people than alone, and I have a lot of things to ask you, brother." Yu Wenluo bulged three inches lotus tongue. Ming Er smiled and looked at Lan Qi, "Will you not cause trouble to Qi Shao?" Lan Qibi rolled her eyes, smiled, and said: "How can it be, with the second son together, I will not be lonely on this road." Yu Wenluo praised himself in his heart, and said: "Ning Lang, will you come with me?" Who knows what the two of them will play along the way, considering their own martial arts, it is better to find a bodyguard. "I..." Ning Lang thought that if he was with Lan Qi, he would have to play tricks, so he looked at Ren Qi, wanting to be with the big brother, but his determination didn't seem so firm, so he froze there for a while. "Of course Ning Lang is going on the same journey with this young man who is unmarried." Lan Qi looked at Ning Lang with bright green eyes. "Then Ning Lang is also coming together." Yu Wenluo made a decision, and looked at Feng Yi again, "Brother Feng, what about you? Are you going with us too?" There seemed to be a lot of secrets between him and Qi Shao. He also pulled a piece, hehe... With Yu Wenluo's ability, he will definitely dig out this secret. "I need to go with my uncle." Feng Yi replied, but his eyes were on Lan Qi, who was looking at Ning Lang with a smile on his face. "Oh, that's it." Yu Wenluo was helpless, and looked at Xie Mo and Song Gen who had been silent all this time, "Where are the two senior brothers?" Xie Mo raised his head and smiled, "I have always followed the example of senior brother." Song Gen lowered his eyes, and continued to drink tea, "I'm not good at martial arts, so I never dared to be around senior brother." Except for swordsmanship, these two people are much better than Ren Qi.Yu Wenluo made up his mind and said no more, anyway, Ming Er and Lan Qi are on the same side, and this is his ultimate goal. "Junior Junior Brother, I'm not worried about you and Second Young Master and Seventh Young Master, but you have to take good care of yourself and don't cause trouble for them." Ren Qi carefully told Junior Brother.In fact, he also wanted his junior brother to be with him and feel at ease under his wings, but...Look at Lan Qi, I'm afraid that if he opens his mouth, this young master Lan Qi won't know what horrible words or deeds, or it's all right, After finding the holy decree, I will take my junior brother to find my uncle and aunt, and ask what is going on with this marriage contract. "Yeah." Ning Lang nodded, "Brother, you should be more careful." Ren Qi smiled, and raised his hand to pet his little junior brother's head, "When I come back, I will teach you the move of 'Bishan Absolute Sword', 'Folding Flute and Song Cloud'." "Okay." Ning Lang grinned happily, with bright eyes and a pure smile. Lan Qi looked at it, lost her mind for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled.In a few days, won't there be such a smile again? At this moment, the food and wine had been prepared, and the waiter brought the dishes one by one, and the few people stopped talking. After dinner, they bid farewell and parted ways. Feng Yi went back to find Ming Kong, Ren Qi and others went to join Qiu Changtian, Nan Wofeng and others to go to sea, Ming Er and Lan Qi went to Huazhou . "Qi Shao, who is the old man you want to see?" Yu Wenluo couldn't help asking curiously before setting off on the road. "My master." Lan Qi replied casually. "What?!" The fifth young master of the Yuwen family on Xicheng Street shouted out of composure.I can't blame him for being like this, no one in the whole Jianghu knows Lan Qishao's master that no one has ever seen! It was still the same carriage, but this time there were fewer people, and the position had also changed. Lan Qi and Ming Er were lying and sitting on the couch facing each other on the left and right, and Ning Lang and Yu Wenluo were sitting on the couch in the back. people. "Qi Shao, who is your master? What's his name? What's his name in Jianghu? Where do you live in Huazhou?" Along the way, Yuwen Luoqi persistently questioned Lan Qi, but Lan Qi always smiled mysteriously and spit out two words, "Secret." But Yu Wenluo is not such a person who is so easy to give up, so he tried again, "Qi Shao, you promised to take us with you, so you can't turn it back. And when we all meet your master, then it can't be considered a secret." , now everyone in the world will know who your master is." At least I will help you spread the word. "Hehe..." Lan Qi smiled indifferently, with a strange flash in her blue eyes, "Even if you see it, it will still be a secret." "Huh?" Yu Wenluo was puzzled by Lan Qi's determination. "What's the rush, anyway, this young master promised to take you to meet him, so I'll know when the time comes." Lan Qi's eyes flowed over them like water, and finally stopped on Ming Er, who gave him an elegant and appropriate smile. "Then Qi Shao, when did you become a teacher, and when did you become a teacher?" Yu Wenluo, to be a great historian of the martial arts, of course he must understand everything clearly, especially the key subjects Lan Qi and Ming Er. It seems easy to talk, of course you have to take the opportunity to ask clearly, the opportunity is fleeting. "What is Qi Shao's best martial art? What is Qi Shao's most powerful martial art? Qi Shao's martial arts are extremely complicated, but besides Huazhou's master, there are others? There are rumors in the world that Qi Shao never uses martial arts from the Lan family. Why? Does Qi Shao really not know the unique martial arts of the Lan family?" He asked while taking out a pen and paper from his pocket, looking at Lan Qi with eyes full of expectation. Lan Qiyu shook her jade fan and called softly, "Yu Wenluo." "Yes." Yu Wenluo replied immediately. "Let me see your tongue." Lan Qi looked sideways at him. "What are you doing?" Yu Wenluo immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and looked at Lan Qi warily. "See if it's particularly long." Lan Qi's lips curled into a wicked smile. Yu Wenluo covered his mouth with his hands desperately, shaking his head. "Don't you want to show me?" Lan Qibi blinked her eyes, "If it's particularly long, Ben can help trim it." Yu Wenluo just shook his head vigorously, not daring to make another sound. "Speaking of..." Ming Er who was at the side suddenly said, and all the people turned their eyes to him, "Seventh Young Master has always been a mystery, but this time he is willing to take me to pay a visit, it is really unexpected." "That's because I hit it off with a few of you." Lan Qi smiled. "Really?" Ming Er raised his eyebrows slightly. "Of course." Lan Qi smiled with three parts sincerity and seven parts evil spirit, "Besides, I can meet the second son this time when I go out this time. I have cited this as a bosom friend in my life, so I want to spend more time with the second son to comfort the past twenty years. loneliness and depression." "It's really an honor." Ming Er's smile was seven parts sincere and three parts immortal, and he looked at Lan Qi with distant but deep eyes, "This time I have to meet the number one martial artist, Senior Ming Kong, and Feng With talents like brother Yi, I thought it would be beneficial if I could get along with them more, but it is even more rewarding to be able to visit the Seventh Young Master at this moment." "Oh?" Lan Qi twitched her eyes, squinting at Ming Er. "Qi Shao and Brother Feng Yi are siblings, and they have been separated for many years, why not invite him to travel together to express their brotherhood?" Ming Er was a little puzzled. "The days are going to be long, so why be in a hurry." Lan Qi said indifferently, "Besides, the Wind and Mist faction is the number one faction in the martial arts, and the head of the Ming family is responsible for the important tasks in the martial arts. My brother may need to help one or two. I just go See Master, why bother him with his business." "So that's how it is." Ming Eryi smiled gracefully. "It seems that the second son really hit it off with my brother." Lan Qi's mouth curled up slightly. "Exactly." Ming Er smiled and nodded. The eyes of the two people meet, one blue eye is deep and bottomless, the other is light and misty, empty and far away, the meaning between them is ambiguous, only self knows, he knows. The carriage walked unhurriedly, several people sat or lay down, and several days passed before they knew it. In the evening of this day, a few people had reached the border of Qizhou, and after walking for half an hour, they could enter the boundary of Huazhou. It had just rained, the ground was wet, but the temperature was exceptionally cool and refreshing. Several people opened the windows, and the carriage drove slowly. Under the red sunset light, the trees and weeds on both sides of the road dragged their long shadows. Son, slowly across the eyes, gusts of cool wind hit the face, feel refreshed. When reaching a fork in the road, Ning Lang shouted suddenly: "Stop!" But the coachman didn't seem to hear it, the carriage was still driving slowly, Ning Lang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Stop it! I heard someone shouting! Stop it!" Yu Wenluo couldn't help but listen carefully when he heard the words, and then said: "Really, someone is calling for help." Lan Qi's green eyes rolled over to Ning Lang, who looked anxious, and smiled, "Stop." The carriage stopped, and Ning Lang immediately jumped out of the carriage and flew to the left fork. Yu Wenluo had already walked to the car door, and turned around suddenly, looking at Lan and Ming who were enjoying tea leisurely in the car, "You...don't go?" Lan Qi knocked on the jade fan and said, "It's Ning Lang who wants to be a chivalrous man, not Ben Shao, what should Ben Shao do?" Ming Er looked at Yu Wenluo and smiled slightly: "Those people are not good at martial arts, Ning Lang can handle it." "Oh." Yu Wenluo turned around when he heard what they said.The martial arts of these two people were many times higher than his. With their hearing, they must have heard the depth of those people's martial arts, no wonder they were not worried at all. "Ning Lang is indeed benevolent and chivalrous, and he has done a lot of good deeds along the way." Ming Er said again. Thinking of Ning Lang's actions all the way, Yu Wenluo couldn't help sighing and having a headache. He really wanted to take care of even trivial matters whenever he saw injustice. "According to him, he will die of exhaustion sooner or later." Lan Qi raised her eyebrows and let out a cold snort. After a while, Ning Lang came back, followed by two people, with their heads down, unable to see clearly. "Lan... um..." Ning Lang still doesn't know what to call Lan Qi to this day, he always opens his mouth and then mumbles. Lan Qi glanced at him upon hearing the sound. Ning Lang looked at the people behind him, touched his head and said, "This uncle is injured a little bit, they are going to Huazhou City, and they are on the way with us, so let them take the carriage together, okay?" He looked at Lan Qi anxiously. . Lan Qi stared at him for a long while, and then said lightly, "Yeah." Then she closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the couch, apparently unwilling to be disturbed any more. "Uncle, Miss Wei, let's get into the carriage." Ning Lang and Delan Qishou immediately beckoned the two behind him to get into the carriage. "Ah, this carriage is really big and comfortable!" A very envious voice said. Lan Qi still closed his eyes, Ming Er and Yu Wenluo looked towards the door of the car. Standing beside Ning Lang was an old man with a thin body and a pair of yellow triangular eyes embedded in his withered face. Behind him was a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure and slightly dark complexion, but with good facial features. Quite attractive. The old man reached out to touch the car door, "It's made of oak." Then he reached out to touch the cushion on the couch, "It's so soft and slippery, must it be made of Qiluo? It's so bad. The mats are so cool, so it must be made of cold bamboo in Cangwu Mountain, right? That’s precious.” Looking at the refreshments on the small table, he shouted again, “Is this pot made of jade? Why is the plate so white, like Like snow. What's in this plate?" "Daddy..." The girl tugged at him behind him, looking at the situation in the car with some trepidation. The wealth and people in the car made her feel very nervous. Yu Wenluo stared at the old man who was groping around. Ming Er smiled slightly, got up and said, "Uncle, please sit here." The old man only raised his head to look at the person at this time, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw Ming Er's appearance, he shrank his hands and feet, not knowing how to put it away. "Uncle, sit down." Ning Lang helped the old man sit down on the couch, then turned to greet the girl, "Miss Wei, sit down too." The old man and the girl sat down next to each other on the couch, Ning Lang realized that Ming Er was sitting on this couch, and couldn't help but look at Ming Er with a little shame, Ming Er shook his head and smiled, indicating that he didn't need to care, turned around, Then he sat down beside Lan Qi, so Ning Langyi sat down beside Yu Wenluo, and the carriage moved slowly again. Yu Wenluo asked about Ning Lang's situation just now, and found out that they were a father and daughter walking darts. The old man's name was Wei Xilai, and the girl's name was Wei Shan'er. They got together with a group of strong men, they were numerous and powerful, and when the father and daughter were outnumbered and in danger, luckily Ning Lang came to rescue them. "Thank you so much Young Xia Ning today." Wei Xilai thanked Ning Lang as he hugged the small box in front of his chest, "The old man used to be a man with one enemy against a hundred, but now... well, getting old is useless. So few robbers can’t take it down, alas!” "Uncle, don't say that." Ning Lang smiled foolishly. Ming Er glanced at Wei Xilai, and said: "Uncle suffered a slight injury, here are some medicines for the wound, after applying it, it should be fine." He took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and handed it over. "Thank you, young master." Wei Xilai quickly took it, and cautiously raised his eyes to glance at Ming Er, "This young master is really... really a god, the old man is really blessed." "Uncle is ridiculous." Ming Er smiled faintly. "Uncle, let me help you with the medicine." Ning Lang enthusiastically stepped forward again. "Thank you, Shaoxia Ning." Wei Xilai hurriedly thanked him, and was about to pass the medicine bottle in his hand to him, but Wei Shaner took it from the side, "Father, I'll do it." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Lang shyly , "Ning Shaoxia, don't get your hands dirty." "It's okay." Ning Lang withdrew his hand and rubbed his head nervously. Wei Xilai put on the medicine, stretched his hands and feet, let out a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes and said: "This car is really comfortable to sit in. I have never sat in this car before." The cups and cups of snacks on the small table look very interesting. "Daddy." Wei Shan'er tugged on his father's sleeve. "It's nothing, I'm just looking." Wei Xilai glanced at Lan Qi and Ming Er on the opposite couch, and seeing that they didn't respond, he took the snacks on the porcelain plate and stuffed them into his mouth, "Yeah, delicious, good Eat, Shan'er, you eat too." Pushing the dim sum in front of her daughter. "Daddy!" Wei Shan'er frowned, "This is someone else's stuff, why are you eating it so messily!" "What's the matter, isn't it just for people to eat?" Wei Xilai said nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter what you eat." Ning Lang said, "Are you hungry? If you don't have enough, there are more here." He said and handed over the snacks on his table. Wei Xilai took it unceremoniously, "Okay, okay." While stuffing snacks into his mouth, his mouth was stuffed, chewing, swallowing, and swallowing, which made Yu Wenluo who was watching I was worried that he would choke. Wei Shan'er couldn't stop her father and could only look at Yu Wenluo and Ning Lang embarrassedly and smiled, but for some reason, she didn't even dare to look at the two on the opposite couch. At this moment, the faint sound of drum music came from the front, gradually approaching and gradually ringing, several people couldn't help but stretched their heads to look out the window, and saw a red team approaching under the crimson sunset, with horses and carts There are sedan chairs, blowing, beating and carrying, and there is a lot of joy and celebration. "Ah, I'm very lucky to meet someone who welcomes my relatives on the road." Wei Xilai said happily. “怎么这个时候迎亲？”宇文洛却是奇怪。这天都快黑了呢。 “小伙子，你不知道迎亲都是要选吉时的吗？”魏西来一瞥宇文洛，“想来今天这个时辰是最吉利的，会选啊，现在回去拜了堂喝了酒便是入洞房的最好时候了。”说着嘿嘿笑了起来。 “好多人呢。”宁朗却感叹着那支队伍的长度。 “可见新娘家的嫁妆、送亲的亲戚都很多。”魏西来一付过来人的模样，“想当年山儿娘嫁老头子时，就抱了一床棉被、一口旧箱子，唉，这人比人啦……” “爹！”魏山儿秀气的眉头竖了起来。 “好，不说了，不说了。”魏西来见女儿真的气了忙打住，看着那越来越近的队伍，忽地想起来，道，“按礼，咱们该让让，这迎亲的不能被挡了，否则不吉利。” “嗯？”宇文洛眼一眨，看着魏西来。 “小伙子，你去叫车夫将马车赶一边，先让这迎亲的先过。”魏西来回头瞅着宇文洛道。 “啊？”宇文洛伸头看了看路，“这道蛮宽的，我们靠边行就是，不会挡了的。” “你这小伙子咋这么不懂礼数！”魏西来那黄浊的三角眼一横，“不吉利你懂不？但凡路上碰着了迎亲的队伍，便是朝庭里的大官也会停下车轿让道的，这是礼数！若就这样和迎亲的碰头了，会触了人家夫妻的霉头的，让人家夫妻不和姻缘不美，这可是造孽的！” “哦？有这样的事？”宇文洛可没成过亲，对这些并不清楚。 "certainly!" “可是……”宇文洛目光望向兰七，据他这一路来的经验，这车夫只听兰七的吩咐的。 “什么可是，快叫车夫停车，你看都这么近了！”魏西来倒是替人家着急起来，“喂，赶车的，快把车往边上停停，莫要撞上了人家迎亲的！” ... “喂，赶车的，你听到没？” ... “喂，赶车的，你咋的不应？” ... “赶车的，你停车啊！”叫了数声都不见停车，魏西来有些火了，一回头叫道，“你们这些年轻人咋这么不懂礼数！还不快叫车夫停车！你们这……”声音忽的哑住了，张着口呆呆的看着对面。 对面那一直闭着眼的紫衣公子忽的睁开了眼，只是一眼，便叫魏西来打个寒颤再也说不出话来。 那双眼睛是碧色的，像夜里看着的星子一样的亮一样的远，又像村头的那口古井，深幽幽的好似住着千年的妖，随时会将他吸进去。 “停车。”兰七吩咐一声。 马车靠右停住了，迎亲的队伍吹吹打打的近来了。 兰七瞅着那顶花轿，碧眸一转，道:“二公子，你说这新娘子长得如何？” “任何女子，做新娘子时都是漂亮的。”明二转着手中茶杯，目光望向正迎面而来的花轿，微笑着。 “是吗？”兰七唇一弯勾起一抹浅笑，然后手中玉扇一摇，一道风儿摇出，吹开了轿帘，吹起了头盖，露出轿中凤冠霞帔端庄静坐的新娘，隔着流苏虽有些模糊，但已可看出新娘眉目娟好。“嗯，果然漂亮。”轿帘落下，花轿缓缓而过。 迎亲的队伍过去了，马车重又上路。 “今晚我们是在均城过夜吧？”宇文洛问向兰七，“明日便可至华州州城了吧？”明日便可见到七少的师傅了吧？ “嗯。”兰七应一声。 “兰……嗯，让大叔和我们住一家店好不？”宁朗也问兰七，“他们没有盘缠了。” 兰七瞅宁朗一眼，然后目光在对面那一对父女面上一溜，淡淡应一声，“嗯。” “多……多谢公子。”魏西来看这景况也知这车的主人是对面这看起来最好看却也最可怕的紫衣公子了，收留了自己怎么着也该道个谢的。 兰七唇一勾碧眸看他一眼算是作答，然后目光转向魏山儿，微微一笑道:“姑娘多大了？” “十……十七了。”魏山儿嚅嚅答道，低着头不敢看他。 “嗯，可以嫁人了。”兰七点点头。 魏山儿闻言脸一红，眼睛悄悄的看向宁朗。刚才她被那些强人抓住，本是存了死心的，却不想他从天而降，一柄银枪片刻间便将那些强人杀个落花流水，真是神勇无比，不知他…… 魏西来嘿嘿一笑，眼睛也看向宁朗。这小伙子模样不错，心眼更好啊，要是…… 兰七看他们那模样，依旧笑着，道:“他还没成亲。” “嗯？”魏山儿、魏西来同时看向兰七，然后醒悟起来，不由都心中一喜。 宇文洛一看这情形不由得绷紧了心神。这兰七少不知又生了什么主意要耍弄人了。 明二只是含笑品茶，空濛的眸子间或扫一眼淡笑风流的兰七。 唯一还不清楚状况的只有宁朗，他只是怔怔的看着此刻笑得甚是和气的兰七。 “宁少侠，你家是在哪里的？”魏西来问着宁朗。一边脱掉破鞋，伸手揉着双脚，“唉，这半月来走得老头子我的脚都快断了，幸好碰上了你们，咝……我的脚啊，嗯，揉揉就是舒服些了。” 车中顿时弥漫着一股浓重刺鼻的异味。 魏山儿要阻止父亲却是来不及，只能惶然又祈求的看向车中最贵气的紫衣公子。 “兰……兰州。”宁朗答道，眼却瞪得大大的看着魏西来，然后又紧张的看向兰七，手不由自主的握紧，准备随时救人。 宇文洛也是惊讶不已的看着魏西来，然后便转头目不转睛的看着兰七。列炽枫只是打个鼾他便无法忍受，这……这脚臭味……他……他不会出手太重吧？ 明二本来已递到嘴边的一块点心又慢慢放回了碟上，侧身转头，脸向着窗外。 兰七目光先落向那些污浊不堪看不出原色的布鞋，再移向那双黑乎乎的瘦得皮包骨的脚，还有脚上揉着的那双同样又黑又瘦的手，再目光上移，枯黄的脸疲惫的眼睛，却又透着一股喜气，嘴一咧，一口黄黑相间的牙齿。“兰州呀，那是好地方呀，听说那里产的兰花一株抵咱们一辈子的口粮，可真是个富贵地方呀！” 兰七脸上淡得看不出一点情绪，身子往后一靠，倚在软靠上，眼一闭，专心地睡去了。 宁朗惊奇。 宇文洛惊奇。 明二则转头看一眼他，脸上依是淡柔的微笑。 马车缓缓走着，车身只是轻轻晃动，好似儿时的摇篮，正好助人入眠。 迷迷糊糊间，往昔许多的景象一一闪现。 有那永远也走不到尽头的路，有那永远也攀不过的高山，有那瞬息没顶而至的急流，有那绵绵飞落冷彻心骨的大雪……胸口又痛起来了，眼前一片黑暗，喉间仿似被什么紧紧抓住，窒息的难受着……不，这是梦，快醒来！wake up!这是梦，醒来…… 喉间一松，呼吸顺畅了。忽地耳边听到有鼓乐声，哦，是刚才迎亲的还没走远罢？忽然眼前一片遮天掩地的红，身上一袭红衣，那老实的孩子也一身红衣，头上却盖着个红盖头，要伸手去掀，那孩子却自顾把红盖头一扯迎头盖上来，道“我是男儿，该是我娶你。”暗想，不管是娶还是嫁，这老实的孩子以后都会听自己的话的，绝不会背转身头也不回的离去的，所以没关系，嫁也可以。于是摇摇晃晃的，似乎是坐在花轿上，然后花轿停下，有人掀起轿帘，一个很温柔优雅的声音唤着“娘子。”咦？这声音似乎不是那老实的孩子的？抬手掀起盖头，映入眼中的是…… 兰七猛地弹身坐起，撞翻了榻上的小几，车中几人同时看向他，却见他依闭着眼，额上却滚下一滴汗珠。 “七少？”明二试探的叫一声。 兰七睁眼，看入的却正是梦中的那一张脸，刹时抬掌便拍。 “砰！”一股劲风在车中激荡，扬起众人衣袂，车身一阵摇晃。 “七少这是想砌磋武艺吗？”明二依是温雅如旧。左掌横与额前，挡住的是兰七的右掌，刚才一刹，便是生死一刻。 兰七看着眼前那张温文雅笑的脸，喃喃吐出两字，“恶梦！” “恶梦？”明二疑惑，“什么恶梦竟将七少吓成这样？”看兰七那一脸的僵色，忍不住加了句玩笑，“是梦见娶了母夜叉还是嫁了黑山熊了？” 兰七眼神一利，盯住那张俊雅出尘的脸，“是比那还要可怕的东西！” “嗯？”明二有些奇怪他的眼光，看着自己怎的好似要刮下一层皮来似的。 “怎么会做这种梦？”兰七喃喃着，长吁一口气，自己也不敢相信。调转身对着窗外，再也不看一眼明二。 后面这段路，车中甚是安静，便是魏西来也不敢冒然开口了，刚才那一掌他虽看不出门道，可也能知道厉害的，平常之辈能一掌便将马车震得仿置狂风中摇晃不止吗？ 戌时入了均城投了客栈，要了六间房，一人一间，小二将饭菜、热水送到各自房中，几人道声“明日见”便各自回房歇息了，一夜无话。 第二日上路，魏西来依是话多，昨日的那点惧意早消了，一路上东南西北天上地下的无所不说，谈起自己的往昔更是眉飞色舞，那可真是英姿爽朗神勇非凡，不知保了多少价值连城的宝物，不知扫荡了多少强盗劫匪，不知倾倒了多少美貌佳人…… 魏山儿一脸尴尬之色。 宁朗听得目瞪口呆。 宇文洛则听得肠子打颤。他武功虽只是个三流，可看人的本事却是一流的。这魏西来一看身手便知连个九流都算不上，说是走镖的，估计也就是替人家送个信或是送个什么不值钱的物件的，根本算不得江湖人，否则明二、兰七这等人物摆在他面前，他怎的会认不出来，明二不说，兰七那一双普天独一无二的碧眸便是最好的标志！不过也没打断，就当笑话听听，也解解闷。 明二一直带着他那一脸温雅出尘的微笑，品茶看书，悠闲自得。 而兰七却是罕有的安静，一直闭目静坐，竟没做出什么作弄人的事来，弄得宇文洛一路又是紧张又是期待的，甚是心累。 “魏大叔，你这保的什么镖？要送到华州哪里去？”趁着魏西来喝口茶的机会，宇文洛问出一直想问又找不着空问的话。 “这东西是什么老头子我也不知道，是我们那最有钱的吴家大少爷托的，要老头子送到华州叫什么'离芳阁'的地方。”魏西来喝足了茶水放下杯道，“小伙子，你不知道为着这趟镖老头子我费了多少心血才得到，这吴大少爷本是要托'虎威镖局'送的，偏那镖局的总镖头说什么离芳阁不是干净的地儿，不肯保，气得吴大少爷说要砸了'虎威镖局'，老头子我便趁这机会，托了吴府里做事的一个表亲说情，千说万说，还立下字据，吴大少爷算是肯给老头子保了，嘿嘿，这一趟镖送到了，不但明年一年的口粮不成问题，便是山儿的嫁妆也有着落了。” “虎威镖局？”宇文洛想了想，“是月州的'虎威镖局'吗？” “嗯，怎么？小伙子你也知道？”魏西来一听又来精神了，“那可是我们那最大最有名的镖局了，听说那镖局的门都包着铜，可有钱威风了！” “那就难怪了。”宇文洛点点头道。 虎威镖局的总镖头郑虎威与宇文家有几分交情，所以宇文洛知道点情况。这郑虎威虽有十来个女儿，偏生只得一个儿子，自幼视如珍宝悉心栽培寄予厚望，不想这郑公子成年后第一次出镖便迷恋上了一个青楼女子，把家业前程全抛了，只求与美人朝朝暮暮，把个郑虎威气得七窍生烟，恨子不成器，更恨那女妖精迷惑了儿子，打啊骂啊闹啊哭啊，双方什么手段都使绝了，最后成一个僵局，郑公子长住美人香闺，郑家不承认有这么个儿子。而这离芳阁可是华州，不，应该说是全皇朝最有名的青楼，多的是那色艺双佳的美人，王公贵族也趋之若鹜，你叫郑虎威往这地方送东西，那还不是往哪火上浇油，没烧着你便是大幸了。 一直闭目静坐的兰七忽地睁开了眼，那碧幽幽的眸子令魏西来心底又打个了突，到嘴边的话都咽了回来，不敢再吱声。 “离芳阁……”兰七单手支着下巴，“本少想起那里也有位故人，咱们便去那里玩玩吧。” “离芳阁？”唯一不知道离芳阁的又是宁家小弟，“那是什么地方？” 兰七笑了，是那种宁朗一看心底就发毛的笑。“离芳阁乃天下最美的地方，每一个男儿去了都如入极乐之界。” “哦？”宁朗疑惑的看着兰七，他是再也不敢随便相信他的话了。 “不信？”兰七是什么人岂会看不懂宁朗那脸上的表情，“不信可以问问二公子。” 宁朗当下真的将目光转向明二。 明二想了想，道:“某方面来说，是如此。” “你要送东西给谁？”兰七碧眸一转看住魏西来。 “啊……送……送给一个叫'三绝娘子'的人。”魏西来没想到兰七会问他话，不由有些紧张，不知怎的，他很怕这个紫衣碧眸的公子。 “三绝娘子？”兰七又笑了，笑得魏西来心肝发抖，忍不住侧了侧身子，拉住了女儿，魏山儿紧紧握住父亲的手，警惕又畏惧的看着那笑得极美也极邪的紫衣公子，她同样害怕他。“原来你是要送东西给她呀，那很顺路，本少带你去吧。”
