The weather is black gradually, the Fanyang county city west city lights are sparse, an inn bedding bag, the gate passenger station two Jianghu guests, one of them is being the waist hangs the saber often waits on the sword. 天色渐黑,范阳郡城西市灯火稀疏,一间客栈被包了下来,门客站着两个江湖客,其中一人是腰悬佩剑的常侍剑。 In the hall in inn, more than ten Eagle Striking Tower core figures sit at the table are having the plain meal. 客栈的大厅内,十几名打鹰楼核心人物坐在桌旁吃着便饭。 Li Hansheng, Zhu Liu and Mr. Pei and Lu Hongxue sit one table, on the table is putting a map. 厉寒生、祝六、裴先生、陆鸿雪同坐一桌,桌上放着一副地图。 Eagle Striking Tower is on Jianghu the highest level influence, to kill Wolf Guards to become famous, gathering the manpower is always the refinement does not strive for many, in addition each region dark pile also thousand people of scales, estimate that but by the battle efficiency, can compare favorably with only then Secret Guard of imperial city Imperial Palace. 打鹰楼是江湖上最顶级的势力,以杀狼卫出名,招揽人手从来都是求精而不求多,加上各地暗桩也不过千人规模,但论战斗力,能媲美的估计只有皇城大内的秘卫。 Several people on the scene, are the Eagle Striking Tower core figures, mostly has the resounding given name on Jianghu, for example Qingcheng Sect old leader Zheng Yushan and Eight Extremities Sect teach others Qiu Fengqing wait/etc., hangs in the official document storehouse square fierce and ambitious list without exception, it may be said that turns out in full strength. 在场十几人,是打鹰楼的核心人物,大多都在江湖上有响亮名号,比如青城派老掌门郑玉山、八极门传人仇封情等,无一例外都挂在案牍库四方枭雄的名单上,可谓是倾巢而出。 Li Hansheng expression as always brings several points of dreariness, after looking at map several, said in a soft voice: 厉寒生表情一如既往的带着几分阴郁,看了地图几眼后,轻声道: „Arresting and Scouting Department had discovered I and other trend, will definitely catch up to come to Youzhou. According to the news that the dark pile sends, Song Ying can come, moreover heard that Eunuch Jia on the grounds of recuperating, is nearer the date and time not to make an appearance, I estimated that Eunuch Jia also came.” “缉侦司已经发现了我等的动向,肯定会赶来幽州。据暗桩送来的消息,宋英会过来,而且听说贾公公以养病为由,近些时日没有露面,我估计贾公公也过来了。” Zheng Yushan is the age is quite long, hears this saying, is excessive: 郑玉山算是年纪比较长的,听见这话,偏过头来: „Eunuch Jia does not have Chang'an City for a lifetime, calculates that age quick 80, will run toward Youzhou?” “贾公公一辈子都没出过长安城,算年纪都快八十了,会往幽州跑？” Others have this anxiety, after all Eunuch Jia ‚Imperial Palace patron god’ reputation really too big, protected three monarch sixty-year cycle, the enemy, Vassal King and previous dynasty leaves behind the influence assassination not to know many times, nearly Great Yue Emperor half step. 其他人也有此疑虑,毕竟贾公公‘大内守护神’的名头实在太大了,先后守护三位国君一甲子,敌国、藩王、前朝遗留势力暗杀不知多少次,都近不了大玥天子半步。 Can be sent to assassinate the Great Yue Emperor killer, is what boundary is obvious, but after entering Chang'an, goes into hiding without exception, the record that on Jianghu, even Eunuch Jia and person fight does not have, many no one knows radically. 能被派来刺杀大玥天子的杀手,是个什么境界不言自明,但进了长安后,无一例外都销声匿迹,以至于江湖上,连贾公公与人交手的记录都没有,有多强根本没人知道。 Such an old Dragon King, goes into the Jianghu small bog to get money, let alone Zheng Yushan and the others, Zhu Liu frowned gently. 这样一条老龙王,跑到江湖的小泥塘来打秋风,别说郑玉山等人了,就连祝六都是轻轻蹙眉。 Li Hansheng frowned to think under: „To cover their ears and eyes, making Zhu Liu go to Tang Family to revenge in the name of revenging, covers up me and other whereabouts, Tang Family and royal government relates closely, will definitely request reinforcements to the royal government. Song Ying has not grasped copes with Zhu Liu and I, please possibly come out Eunuch Jia.” 厉寒生蹙眉思索了下:“为了掩人耳目,让祝六以报仇的名义去唐家报仇,遮掩我等行迹,唐家与朝廷关系密切,肯定会向朝廷求援。宋英没把握对付祝六和我,把贾公公请出来不无可能。” Zhu Liu finger is stroking gently the sword hilt, silent under: „Is the dragon is the insect, came to know. You according to planning Bodhi Island, my one person go to Tang Family.” 祝六手指摩挲着剑柄,沉默了下:“是龙是虫,来了才知晓。你们按计划去菩提岛,我一人去唐家。” Is making more than ten people, hearing this slightly hesitates obviously. 在做十几人,闻言都是略显迟疑。 Among Ten Martial Leaders the disparity is very big, strong Martial Leader such as Zhu Liu and Chen Daozi, with weak point Xue Chengzhi and Zhang Buzheng, can differ two Tang Jiao. 十武魁之间差距很大,强的武魁如祝六、陈道子,和弱一点的薛承志、张不正之间,能相差两个唐蛟。 Song Ying came from Junshan Cao Family, shocks the Jianghu many years for the royal government outside, was the highest level military person, Eunuch Jia is obviously needless to say. 宋英出身于君山曹家,为朝廷在外震慑江湖多年,明显是最顶级武夫,贾公公就不用说了。 Sword Saint Zhu Liu is fierce, is impossible to block Song Ying and Eunuch Jia collaborates, a person goes and brings death no difference, the words that but Li Hansheng also follows, the Bodhi Island matter no one. 剑圣祝六再厉害,也不可能挡得住宋英和贾公公联手,一个人去和送死没什么区别,但厉寒生也跟着的话,菩提岛的正事儿就没人去了。 Li Hansheng frowned to consider, said in a soft voice: „The Tang Family matter is noisily bigger, attracts everyone's attention, avoids being discovered the change of Bodhi Island, if you die are too quick, without significance. I and Zheng Yushan, Qiu Fengqing go to Bodhi Island, others follow you to go to Tang Family, if meets Eunuch Jia, can drag to tow, unable to constrain does not want the entire booklet.” 厉寒生蹙眉斟酌了下,轻声道:“唐家的事儿得闹大些,吸引所有人的注意,避免被人发现菩提岛的异动,你如果死太快,没有意义。我和郑玉山、仇封情去菩提岛,其他人跟着你去唐家,若是遇上贾公公,能拖既拖,拖不住也不要全折了。” The people slight nod, thought that this method is more appropriate, goes to Bodhi Island to handle affairs after all in secret, without the bystander knows, goes to so many people not to need. But Zhu Liu is the Eagle Striking Tower top strength, the rallying point of name of Sword Saint on Jianghu is enormous, to cover dead in Tang Family is unworthy, protects Zhu Liu to want many. 众人微微点头,觉得这个法子要合适些,毕竟去菩提岛是暗中行事,没有外人知晓,去这么多人没必要。而祝六是打鹰楼顶尖战力,剑圣之名在江湖上号召力极大,为了打掩护死在唐家太不值,还是力保祝六要好些。 Mr. Pei sighed, nods: „Also can only so, leave as soon as possible, drags for a long time, is easier to have something go wrong.” 裴先生叹了口气,点了点头:“也只能如此了,尽快动身把,拖得越久,越容易出岔子。” The people nod. 众人点了点头。 After Li Hansheng arranges the matter, then stood up, brings Zheng Yushan and Qiu Fengqing had/left the inn, Jane/simple line/traverse rushed to Bodhi Island with light packs. 厉寒生安排完事情后,便站起身来,带着郑玉山和仇封情出了客栈,轻装简行赶往菩提岛。 In the west market all sorts of people gather, although on Jianghu did not have in those days so many, but were also many. 西市中三教九流汇聚,江湖上虽然没往日那么多,但也不少。 Li Hansheng is riding a horse across the street, soon goes out of the rural fair mouth time, a brow wrinkle, the leaning head looked suddenly to an entrance of roadside small shop...... 厉寒生骑着马穿过街道,快要走出集市口的时候,眉头忽然一皱,偏头看向了路边一个小铺子的门口…… ------ ------ Toward evening, the west market alley in Fanyang county city. 黄昏时分,范阳郡城的西市小街。 Ning Qingye is pulling the horse, walks in the Ning Yuhe body side, day after day rushes about, in foreheads slightly obviously tired. 宁清夜牵着马儿,走在宁玉合身侧,连日奔波,眉宇间稍显困乏。 Since childhood has entered Youzhou, Ning Yuhe facing the place that grows up, being moved by the scenery to recollect old feelings and emotions, unavoidably is a little sentimental, often was saying in childhood matter that takes a walk in Youzhou. 已经进入幽州,宁玉合面对从小长大的地方,触景生情,难免有点多愁善感,不时说着小时候在幽州走动的事情。 Two people arrive at outside the inn of alley, Liu Wu depends as before on the deck chair, in the hand takes the sand-fired pot to sway. 两个人来到小街的客栈外,刘武依旧靠在躺椅上,手中拿着紫砂壶摇摇晃晃。 Ning Yuhe knows Liu Wu, gave Ning Qingye the reins, arrived on the chair under eave to sit down, pulls out silver ingot to place in the tea case, said in a soft voice: 宁玉合认识刘武,把缰绳交给了宁清夜,走到房檐下的椅子上坐下,掏出一锭银子放在了茶案上,轻声道: „Shopkeeper Liu?” “刘掌柜？” Liu Wu opened the eye to look , after recognizing Ning Yuhe, smiled in a soft voice, sat up the body: 刘武睁开眼睛瞄了下,认出宁玉合后,轻声一笑,坐起了身来: „Today is any day, if not for my inn is infrequently visited, I also think returned for ten years ago.” “今天是个啥日子,若不是我这客栈门可罗雀,我还以为回到了十年前。” Ning Yuhe is slightly inexplicable, but also thinks that she returns to Youzhou suddenly, Liu Wu is quite surprised, regarding this is only the nod chuckle: 宁玉合略显莫名,还以为她忽然回幽州,刘武比较惊讶,对此只是点头轻笑: „Comes back the least bit matter, un...... Shopkeeper Liu is recent, has listened the Sword Saint Zhu Liu news?” “回来半点事情,嗯……刘掌柜最近,有没有听过剑圣祝六的消息？” Liu Wu hears this saying, lifted the hand to push the silver ingot, shook the head sighs lightly: „How this I possibly know, furthermore, the Jianghu custom you understand, even knows, others Sword Saint whereabouts, I do dare to say?” 刘武听见这话,抬手将银锭推了回去,摇头轻叹:“这我怎么可能知道,再者,江湖规矩你懂,即便知道,人家剑圣的行踪,我敢说嘛？” Ning Yuhe knows somewhat forces someone to do something against his will, making information dealer sell the Martial Leader whereabouts, only if were lives enough to want being ahead of time reincarnation. She including saying with a smile: 宁玉合知道有些强人所难,让消息贩子卖武魁的行踪,除非是活够了想提前投胎。她含笑道: „I and Zhu Liu do not have the enmity, is the friend, but asked him to say some small matters, if you knew, but also please go to the bathroom, to the method.” “我和祝六没有仇怨,是朋友,只是找他说些小事儿,你若是知道的话,还请方便一下,给个门路。” Liu tiger shakes the head: „Really does not know, did you or elsewhere going inquire?” 刘虎摇了摇头:“真不知道,你要不去别处打听打听？” Ning Yuhe knows that the custom of Jianghu person, said many cannot ask again anything, must nod, sets out to prepare to depart. Picks the book 宁玉合知道江湖人的规矩,说再多也问不出什么,只得点了点头,起身准备离去。摘书吧 Liu Wu thought, also said: „Young Lady Ning, the past matter passed, you should not come back, especially at this time.” 刘武思索了下,又道:“宁姑娘,当年的事儿都过去了,你不该回来,特别是这个时候。” „Many thanks, I came back to have a look......” “多谢了,我只是回来看看……” Ning Yuhe smiled gently, had not said again. 宁玉合轻轻笑了下,没有再多说。 Ning Qingye is leading a horse, accompanies Ning Yuhe to go out of the alley, said in a soft voice: „Master, Zhu Liu has not begun, we first go to nearby Tang Family to hide, waits for Zhu Liu to begin, finds the opportunity and he greets then.” 宁清夜牵着马,陪着宁玉合走出小街,轻声道:“师父,祝六还没动手,我们先去唐家附近藏着,等祝六动手的时候,找机会和他打个招呼即可。” Ning Yuhe nods, two people accompany the inn that arrives at stops over. 宁玉合点了点头,两个人相伴来到落脚的客栈。 Long-distance rushes about travel-worn, poured the stopping over place certainly to comb the hair and wash the face, hitting on the hot water went downstairs is too troublesome, should wash together, but Ning Yuhe does not dare with the Ning Qingye affectionate couple bath, only to be able first to open itself to wash secretly Ning Qingye. At that moment said in a soft voice: 长途奔波风尘仆仆,倒了落脚的地方肯定要梳洗,打热水上下楼太麻烦,原本应该一起洗,可宁玉合又不敢和宁清夜鸳鸯浴,只能先把宁清夜支开自己偷偷洗好。当下轻声道: „Qingye, you go to the rural fair mouth the Wang Family shop to buy to eat, that vegetable/dish flavor is good, must do on the spot, I do not eat the meat.” “清夜,你去集市口的王家铺子买些吃食回来,那家的菜味道好,要现做的,我不吃荤腥。” Ning Qingye does not want the Jianghu food in the inn, immediately then goes out alone. 宁清夜也不想在客栈吃江湖饭,当下便独自出了门。 Arrived at the rural fair mouth the old shop, Ning Qingye ordered several types of well-known local side dishes, stood waits for in the entrance. 来到集市口的老铺子,宁清夜点了几样当地出名的小菜,站在门口等待。 It is black, at rural fair crowded, close to the end of the year, turning over to the Jianghu guests in township is also many, on the street often had the person who knew to greet mutually, ‚such and such chivalrous people and such and such heroes’, were small mixed fish on some Jianghu, sounded a little funny. 天已经黑了,集市上人来人往,临近年关,归乡的江湖客也多了起来,街上时常有认识的人互相打招呼,‘某某大侠、某某英雄’的,都是些江湖上的小杂鱼,听起来有点好笑。 Ning Qingye is holding the sword by the entrance, is lost in thought that suddenly hears hoofbeat from far to near. 宁清夜抱着剑靠在门口,正在出神的时候,忽然听见一阵马蹄声由远及近。 The split vision of corner of the eye sweeps immediately person, the Ning Qingye whole body has shaken fiercely. In an instant looks, sits in immediately middle-aged student, was familiar, but carved that face in bone to compare, slightly old several points...... 眼角的余光扫过马上的人,宁清夜浑身猛地一震。转眼看去,坐在马上的中年书生,再熟悉不过了,只是和刻在骨子里的那张脸比起来,稍微苍老了几分…… The horse's hoof oversteps the rural fair, Li Hansheng urges on a horse the vanguard, detected the vision that sizes up, looked to rural fair mouth small shop. 马蹄踏过集市,厉寒生驱马前行,察觉到打量的目光,看向了集市口的小铺子。 tall figure white clothing young lady, standing in shop entrance, eyebrow, if crescent moon and eye of stars, take that treasured sword ‚wound spring’, grows very much with her mother looks like, already not in Land of Shu mountain village Yaya in the small girl who learned the language. 身材高挑的白衣姑娘,愣愣的站在铺子门口,眉若弯月、目似星辰,拿着那把宝剑‘伤春’,和她娘长得很像,早已经不是在蜀地山寨里丫丫学语的小丫头了。 The Jinghong glance, Li Hansheng also slightly froze, similarly is the cold winter, in a flash, as if returned to Chang'an City that blue stone alley. 惊鸿一瞥,厉寒生也稍微愣了下,同样是寒冷冬日,一瞬之间,仿佛回到了长安城的那条青石小巷。 He stands in alley entrance buys the picture, that has young lady of sense of justice very much, extended a hand, his for a lifetime, did not change at that time thoroughly. 他站在巷子口买画,那个很有侠气的姑娘,伸出了一只手,他这一辈子,也在那时候彻底改不了。 Remembers that two people play together Jianghu, remembers that the two people's in the point weeding candle when the mountains and plains bow to heaven and earth, remembers that is pregnant in October/ten months his clumsy, remembers the small girl was born leafs through the old book to think that the name the headache wants to crack...... 记得两个人一起游戏江湖,记得两个人在山野间点上花烛拜天地,记得怀胎十月他的笨手笨脚,记得小丫头出生时翻遍古籍想名字的头痛欲裂…… Finally she gets a sudden inspiration, said the sentence: „In the evening lives, with a bright moon and few stars, called Qingye!” 最后还是她灵机一动,说了句:“晚上生的,月明星稀,就叫清夜吧！” Qingye...... 清夜…… Many years of Li Hansheng that what forgets is the sentiment, the corner of the eye jumped slightly under. 已经很多年忘记什么叫感情的厉寒生,眼角微微跳了下。 But also that is all. 但也仅此而已。 four eyes connected the flash, Li Hansheng opened the vision, having two to accompany, has the rural fair mouth, toward the east sped along to go. 四目交汇了一刹那,厉寒生偏开了目光,带着两个随从,出了集市口,朝东方飞驰而去。 Ning Qingye stands in shop entrance, is shaking hand stubbornly the sword, until that back vanishes in the field of vision end, responded. 宁清夜站在铺子口,死死握着手中剑,直至那道背影消失在视野尽头,才反应过来。 From Li Hansheng after the book box departs, she again has not seen her to call father's man, until that day of mother dying an untimely death wilderness. 从厉寒生背着书箱离去后,她就再也没见过这个她该叫爹的男人,直到娘亲横死荒野的那天。 Treads the broken metal shoe, is always looking for the Li Hansheng whereabouts, actually does not want to meet again, is like this in the street Jinghong glance. 踏破铁鞋,无时无刻在寻找着厉寒生的下落,却不曾想再次相遇,就是这样在街头惊鸿一瞥。 Without explanation in every possible way estimate, without treats indifferently, cast aside one like this, then walked , like the stranger. 没有预想中的百般解释,也没有冷眼相待,就这样撇了一眼,然后走了,就和陌路人一样。 „Li Hansheng......” “厉寒生……” Ning Qingye grips the tight mother's saber, the knuckle flood white, unquenchable anger appears in the eyeground, until cannot restrain again. 宁清夜攥紧娘亲的佩剑,指节泛白,难以抑制的愤怒出现在眼底,直至再也克制不住。 „Li Hansheng!” “厉寒生！” Ning Qingye double pupil blood red, leaps from shop entrance, has snatched knight-errant horses, pursued toward the rural fair mouth, is nearly hysteric. 宁清夜双眸血红,从铺子口飞跃而起,抢过了一个游侠儿的马匹,朝着集市口追了过去,近乎歇斯底里。 „young lady, young lady......” “姑娘,姑娘……” The Wang Family in the shop, the old woman is raising the pack good meal, stands in shop entrance, looks that unfamiliar white clothing young lady speeds along to go. 王家铺子里,年迈的老妪提着打包好的饭菜,站在铺子口,看着面生的白衣姑娘飞驰而去。 Jianghu is this, often will have the Jianghu guest who eats meal and drinks, meets the urgent matter, raised sword to leave, some people have not come back forever again. 江湖便是这样,经常会有吃饭、喝酒的江湖客,遇到急事,提着刀剑离开了,有些人永远都没有再回来。 The old woman looked at the meal in hand, long time, shakes the head: 老妪看了看手里的饭菜,良久后,摇了摇头: „Eats to the full to put on warmly should be content, young, rushes to what Jianghu......” “吃饱穿暖就该知足,年纪轻轻的,闯什么江湖呀……” ----- ----- Many thanks 【Person under Chinese parasol tree】 20,000 of big shot enjoy! 多谢【人在梧桐下】大佬的两万赏！ Many thanks 【ChrisKZ】 ten thousand bestows of big shot! 多谢【ChrisKZ】大佬的万赏！ Many thanks 【Washes containing filling loose seed cake】 ten thousand bestows of big shot! 多谢【多洗夹心松子饼】大佬的万赏！ Tomorrow the pal marries, does not know that can renew on time, if renewed late, ahead of time was sorry orz...... 明天铁哥们结婚,不知道能不能按时更新,如果更新晚了,提前抱歉了orz…… The National Day is joyful!
