Chapter 112 Blood-stained swords in the wind and sand [eight](1/4)
"Miss, since it's the best, then we must go for a walk and take a look!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts said urgently, and looked at Zhao Mingming with a look of hope.
"There is no problem for us to go there, I just don't know if Liu Shengqi welcomes it."
Zhao Mingming said with a smile, his eyes accidentally flashing across Liu Ruiying's face.
"That's of course a welcome!"
Liu Ruiying said that he felt a little happy in his heart. It would be better for his beloved person to go to his beloved place.
"After the matter here, will you leave and return to Zhongdu City?"
Zhao Mingming asked, but there was a little regret in his words.
"If there is no surprise, it is true."
Liu Ruiying pondered for a while, nodded and said.
"You said so too before leaving Bogu Building last time..."
Zhao Mingming said, with a little resentment in his tone.
Liu Ruiying sighed deeply, because he was really unsure. After learning about the matter of Guanyin, would there be any other accidents on the way back?
The accident seemed to be with him. Since Liu Ruiying came out of the headquarters of the Zhongdu City, nothing has developed according to his wishes.
However, accidents are the norm in life, even part of it.
When a person faces an accident, he always likes to define it in a narrow sense. If he can break away from this superficial definition, an accident should be a surprise or surprise in everyone's life. Surprises are divided into good or bad, but surprise is not. It is essentially no different to hear good or bad news or a bad thing that brings oneself. After all, Liu Ruiying is still not able to calm down. After all, accidents always bring people some deep thoughts and imagination. From this perspective, Liu Ruiying should even thank these accidents that keep appearing.
However, when his spirit was not stable enough and his mind was not fully mature, these accidents came one by one, which was indeed a burden, which gave him no room for breathing, and no time to sit down and think quietly about what changes and exercises these accidents brought him. The only thing Liu Ruiying knows now is that these accidents are unstoppable and unchangeable, and he can only accept them except accepting them. After all, if you continue this path, you will say
It is not only him, but also the old horseman. Unexpected things are more private than the girls he likes. There is a choice for a person's preference, but the accident is completely tailor-made. God holds a ruler in his hand, which is more accurate than the tailor's shop. After walking a few steps, what kind of accidents will happen, whether big or small, or can you survive or fall, are there any reason.
So far, Liu Ruiying thought briefly that the accidents that occurred in him seemed to be trauma. Not only did his body suffer substantial bleeding and injury, but his spirit was always in a tense torment.
Thinking of this, he was a little scared and wanted to drink a glass of wine to relieve his mind for a moment.
Liu Ruiying stretched out his right hand. When his fingertips touched the outer wall of the wine glass, he suddenly felt a warm feeling coming. The wine glass was placed on the table, and the wine was also freshly produced from the jar. It was logical that there should be no temperature. However, this warm touch could not deceive people... After a little dazed, he realized that it was not that the wine glass and the wine were too warm, but that his hands were too cold.
What are Liu Ruiying nervous and afraid of?
He himself didn't know, let alone explain it clearly.
Perhaps it was the conversation with Zhao Mingming that made him afraid of the unknown journey from leaving the mine and returning to Zhongdu City... What he was afraid of was not accidents, but the reality that he was unwilling to face. This cruelty was unpredictable by anyone. A supreme Onmyoji like Xiao Jinkan should be able to calculate it, but if he survived by calculation and signing all day long, he would probably not even have the courage to step out of the house. At least after going through those disasters, Liu Ruiying inspired many potentials that were invisible before.
"I can't control what I encounter, but as long as I know, I will definitely return to Zhongdu City. And this is not only for myself, but also for Huanong and you."
Liu Ruiying suddenly performed and said with a smile.
"I?"
Zhao Mingming asked incrediblely, did he actually take himself to heart?
Huanong is his nephew, and Liu Ruiying certainly has the responsibility and obligation to take care of him.
Although she had some inexplicable feelings between herself and Liu Ruiying, she did not believe that Liu Ruiying had placed her in such an important position.
"Yes! After being entrusted by Master Huanong, I must take him back to Zhongdu intact. I promised to buy her the best candy stir-fried chestnuts, but only Zhongdu City has it. As for you, my friends' agreement, I have always liked the most."
Liu Ruiying said.
"Huanong is your junior nephew. You want to buy delicious food with candy fried chestnuts, but it is an ambiguous agreement for me. It's really perfunctory..."
Zhao Mingming rolled his eyes and muttered, his emotions were unaware of the fact that he felt a little resentful that the candy fried chestnuts could be remembered for buying delicious food.
"This is the second time I promised something between friends."
Liu Ruiying said disapprovingly.
At this time, his hands had returned to normal temperature, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Who was the first time? When?"
Zhao Mingming asked.
Women are always very sensitive to the order and the order...
There are twelve hours in a day, and there is no difference between doing many things first and then doing them. But in the eyes of women, this is a first-class event.
For example, today I have to go shopping, eat, and drink.
Even if it is reversed, it is okay to eat, drink, and go shopping.
But women will feel that if their business is placed in the second or third place, it is a huge problem. They must be arguing and fighting for a while before they will give up.
"The first person is Xiao Jinkan, and the first thing is to 'take his apprentice Huanong back to Zhongdu City'."
Liu Ruiying said helplessly.
"oh……"
Zhao Mingming raised his voice and responded.
She could not refute this person and this matter.
But being unable to refute does not stop her from expressing her dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of women, the best answer is that there is no order and all are unique.
She may often ask the other party whether she loves her or not or how much she loves herself. If she answers her favorite, she will be overturned and don’t want to have a stable meal... With the person she loves the most, there will be people she doesn’t love much, doesn’t love much, or she still has the word “love”. Regardless of whether this analysis is logical, most women in the world will think so. The small amount of money she saves is not that she doesn’t think about it, but that she doesn’t say it after thinking about it. There is only one correct answer to this question, that is, “I love you only”. With the label of ‘only’, women will definitely be able to have a smooth flow. However, the new questions that are triggered are another game of emotional speech between men and women.
"Can I follow you all the way back? Or do we have agreed on time and see you all in Zhong?"
Zhao Mingming also drank a glass of wine and then asked.
"About this, I need to ask Shangguan for instructions... After all, you know that my identity is quite special..."
Liu Ruiying said timidly.
He was careful, for fear that Zhao Mingming would be angry again.
"OK."
Zhao Mingming said.
Liu Ruiying was slightly stunned. He never thought that Zhao Mingming would agree so happily.
But probably because she didn't know that the Shangguan that Liu Ruiying mentioned was Yue Di, who was a woman.
It is always difficult for women to have good feelings and friendship.
The polite fights in the face are so hot that once you turn your head and leave, you will spat and curse at the same time.
Liu Ruiying had seen such a thing once in Yue Di and the boss's wife... I really didn't want to see it in Zhao Mingming and Yue Di for the second time. I was extremely anxious for a moment, and even felt that if my colleagues returned to Zhongdu City, the accident might be the battle between these two women.
"what's on your mind?"
Zhao Mingming reached out and shook his hand in front of Liu Ruiying and asked.
She looked at Liu Ruiying's eyes dull and she frowned frequently, as if she had something unspeakable.
“I’m thinking about the route back.”
Liu Ruiying said.
Of course this is not a truth, Zhao Mingming could hear it. Liu Ruiying is not a lie person. Such clumsy concealment adds a bit of cuteness to Zhao Mingming's eyes.
"Isn't the way you go back the way you came?"
Zhao Mingming asked back.
"There are two roads when I go back... The first is the Guanjia Road where I walked from Zhongdudao Dingxi Wangcheng, and the other is to take the water route and cross the Taishang River."
Liu Ruiying said.
However, the so-called road of driving is no turning back.
This was built by Liu Jinghao, the King of Qingzhong, after the five kings ruled together, and he fought against the opposition and built it with his own strength. In order to see if there was any turmoil in the world, the most elite three-magistrate army in Zhongdu City could rush to help all places along the road. Even for the farthest distance of Dingxi Kings and Zhenbei Kings, the vanguard army could still reach the distance day and night. The people of Pingming were forbidden to travel on the road. A watchtower building was set up every ten miles, during which the soldiers patroled and continued day and night to ensure safety. There were only four roads in the world,
Especially from Zhongdu City to the other four kingdoms. However, Liu Jinghao, the King of Qingzhong, left a selfish thought. These four roads can only go from Zhongdu City to the other four kingdoms in one direction, but they cannot travel from Zhongdu City to the four kingdoms and reach Zhongdu City. This move is not only to protect the safety of Zhongdu City, but also one of the measures taken by Liu Jinghao to show that the King of Qingzhong is the leader of the five kings. After all, the three powerful troops can arrive day and night, so if the other four kings borrowed the road, they can also be strong soldiers and horses, and this is true for Zhongdu City.
In addition to the road of the five kingdoms, the main reasonably built straight roads is the road. Compared with the road of the road, it is much narrower, but it is enough to walk through the three horses of the two platforms side by side. In ordinary noble families, officials will choose straight roads when traveling. After all, you can feel comfortable and leisurely and rush on the road with leisurely safety. Why not do it? However, for ordinary people, if they travel far away, they must be unwilling to spend money on it. They even complained about this straight road for a while... Although this land of heaven is the land of the king, if you even have to collect the cash for even stepping on the ground, then these five kings would be a bit unreasonable. No matter how reasonable this is, as long as the word "silver and money" is mixed, it is a kind of exploitation and plunder.
"Taishanghe? I seem to have heard of it."
Zhao Mingming said.
After hearing this, Liu Ruiying lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how to explain to Zhao Mingming what the Taishang River was. After all, the other party was a woman. If he said it too bluntly, it would be bad... What's more, Zhao Mingming would definitely ask him, since this is the place to go, why do you insist on going?
"Miss, have you forgotten? Taishang River is the forest of the pleasure boats, each of which is covered with flower courtesans fighting for beauty, and is called the most intoxicating part of the world."
By chance, the candy fried chestnut knew about this place and answered her lady’s question.
Zhao Mingming could understand the words "Happy Boat, the Courtesan", so she looked at Liu Ruiying with a strange look and said in a sharper tone:
"Liu Shengqi is really romantic!"
"Since I'm out, I always want to go and see..."
Liu Ruiying said word by word, his voice was a little weak.
To be continued...
