Soon, Liu Xia’s third brother also married the eighth prince’s jewel in the palace. On the surface, Liu Xia looked graceful, beautiful and enchanting, but her heart was more empty than anyone else, and that loneliness pierced her bones. In the middle of the night, Liu Xia would lean on the building to play the flute. For hundreds of days and nights, she played the song "Mo Shang Qian", which was a song of homesickness.
Finally, after living a seemingly glamorous showgirl life like a puppet, she was tired of the false smiles of those kings, grandchildren and nobles, and even more tired of the false name of the first singer in Chang'an. She finally decided to leave the halo-shrouded life. After returning to Luoyang in Chang'an City, she could sing and dance without any benefit in peace of mind.
After all, that is the peaceful life she really yearns for.
Of course, she also understood her brother very well. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, as a woman’s husband, and as the pillar of a family, there were too many things that bound him. While he had fame and fortune, he also Will lose the freedom of the past.
Although Liu Xia had only met her brother four times in two years, she was already content, and those episodes of drinking with her brother and admiring the moon will become her eternal good memories. Having the past is happiness.
After some sorting, she set off on the way home again.
Perhaps, the predestined marriage cannot be escaped cleverly. When Liu Xia returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, she met Yuan Qiuye who was returning from Luoyang to Chang'an to meet Gao Xianzhi.
Previously, Yuan Qiuye was ordered by Gao Xianzhi to go to Luoyang City to arrest the demon leader who killed the martial arts justice and let him plead guilty.
Unfortunately, Yuan Qiuye was in an ambush by the Demon Cult and was seriously injured, so he had to return to Chang'an.
Liu Xia looked at Yuan Qiuye, who was seriously injured and accidentally fell off his horse, and her heart was like a wave surging. It is undeniable that she fell in love with Yuan Qiuye at first sight.
She immediately helped Yuan Qiuno on her horse back, galloped on her horse, and returned to the original road.
Knocked on the door of the hospital late at night. Unfortunately, the people in the hospital refused Liu Xia's request one after another.
When he knocked on the door of the tenth hospital, Liu Xia was already exhausted and almost exhausted. Fortunately, Dr. Liu from the tenth hospital received them with a benevolent heart.
Dr. Liu's ancestors were all imperial physicians in the imperial court. However, Dr. Liu has always disliked official life, and resolutely gave up the wealth and wealth in the imperial court, and opened a small medical hall on the corner of Chang'an Avenue to help the world.
Dr. Liu has a kind heart and is deeply loved by the people. Looking at Yuan Qiuye, who was seriously injured, Dr. Liu took Qiuye back to the hospital without saying a word.
As Yuan Qiuye lost too much blood, his life was at stake. Dr. Liu said that only by mashing the blue lotus that grows on the ice rock mountain into powder and applying it to the wounds of the original Qiuye can he heal him. When Liu Xia heard this, she immediately promised Dr. Liu that she would go to the ice rock mountain to pick the cold and proud ones. Blue lotus.
Originally, the doctor wanted his apprentice to pick it on his behalf, but Liu Xia disappeared before the doctor had finished speaking.
In order to save the strange Yuan Qiuye, Liu Xia went to the Bingyan Mountain at the junction of Chang'an City and Luoyang City in the rain.
It is a magical mountain. The north side of the mountain is entirely made of Arctic ice, while the south side of the mountain is lush green mountains. As for how it was formed, no one has solved the secret hidden in the ice rock mountain over the years.
There are many plants called blue lotus growing on the peaks of the iceberg to the north of the ice rock mountain. The natural plant has magical medicinal effects, which can instantly heal festering wounds, and eating it can also restore people's vitality. Therefore, many people in the martial arts have traveled far and wide to collect blue lotus flowers at the Bingyan Mountain to help them develop a higher level of kung fu.
The blue lotus does not bloom every year. The cold plant needs to absorb enough snow water to bloom. Only its petals have medicinal properties, but its fruits are highly toxic.
So every few years, someone will climb the peaks of the Bingyan Mountain, collect the fallen blue lotus fruits together, and then put those fruits into the fierce fire to burn them out, so as to cut off some people’s thinking. The idea of using blue lotus fruit toxicity to harm others.
The blue lotus is picked in large numbers, making the mountains and valleys in the south more and more yellow, and many animals living on the ice rocks are also on the verge of extinction.
A few years later, more and more animal remains piled up on the ice rock mountain, even spreading from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, it was extremely terrifying. But even so, there are still many people who venture to pick blue lotus in Bingyan Mountain in order to save people from danger.
Liu Xia drove her tired body and rushed along the steep mountain road on the winding mountain road. The temperature on the peaks of the Bingyan Mountain was very low, and the cold ice and snow fell down, covering Liu Xia’s shoulders, making her The whole body was trembling, and the blood color faded slightly.
Due to the rapid drop in body temperature, Liu Xia's lips began to turn black, and the figure in the wind and snow was skinny and precarious.
Finally, an hour later, she saw the blue lotus growing on the peak of Bingyan Mountain. After the smooth picking, she didn't care about stopping at all, and returned the white horse back to the hospital in Chang'an City at wind speed.
Due to the rushing day and night, coupled with the wind and cold, Liu Xia passed out after handing the blue lotus flower to the doctor.
That scene really made the veteran doctor who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world be deeply moved. Not to mention the steepness of Bingyan Mountain, being able to save a man in such a way can only show that the woman's heart is full of love.
If every citizen of the Tang Dynasty could have a heart of fraternity like Liu Xia, then the expected Datong society should be realized. When thinking of there, the old man sighed, the wrinkles on his face looked particularly dazzling under the swaying light.
Since then, Yuan Qiuye has regained his vitality after taking the blue lotus powder, and the sudden wounds have also healed. After he woke up, he learned that it was Liu Xia who had never met him and saved him. He looked at Liu Xia who was ill because of him. Yuan Qiuye was extremely anxious. He stayed in front of Liu Xia's bed all night and kept applying cold compresses for her. .
Finally, under his meticulous care, the constant fever has been improved, and the person gradually woke up from the coma.
In the days when Liu Xia had not fully recovered, Yuan Qiuye was not in a hurry to return to the city to see Gao Xianzhi, but stayed in the hospital, taking care of her meticulously.
From dawn to dusk, the two chatted without saying anything. This was a miracle in the cold Yuan Qiuye. Once, except for Gao Xianzhi, he never told anyone about himself.
Because the birth of Yuan Qiuye was not so glamorous, and his family was not a royal family in the court, he was born in a very ordinary family of martial arts.
His father, grandfather, and even his great-grandfather were all martial artists, and the original swordsmanship he used to this day is also an exquisite swordsmanship created by his family.
Since he was five years old, he has followed his father to practice martial arts assiduously. From the first day when he held a sword, his father told him: The sword of the Yuan clan was drawn for justice, and that sword can be stained with blood. But we must not run counter to justice and use swordsmanship to indiscriminately kill the innocent and to harm the common people. In that case, he would not be worthy of being a member of the original family, let alone practicing the original swordsmanship. Drawing the sword is to stop the war, not to raise the battle.
At that time, the young Yuan Qiuye sincerely knelt in front of his father before practicing Yuanshi swordsmanship, vowing that if he betrayed his faith and insulted the justice soul of Yuanshi sword, then he would definitely be severely condemned by heaven.
In order to test his sincerity, Yuan Qiuye's father let him kneel in the wind and snow for three days. Afterwards, seeing that he was still so persistent, his father finally taught him the original swordsmanship passed down from his ancestors.
Yuan Qiuye is the eldest son of the Yuan family. He also has two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Among his siblings, Yuan Qiuye is also the first to inherit the Yuan family's swordsmanship.
When he was ten years old, he followed his father to walk the rivers and lakes to eradicate the villains for the people. They are not for fame or profit, just to pass on the spirit of the original family from generation to generation.
Therefore, Yuan Qiuye and his father are very well-known. Every year the original family receives many gifts from the people, but the simple original family will collect the gifts of the people every time, and then find the right time to save Those gifts were cleverly returned to the people. Because of the troubled times, even a bag of rice would be the root of life-saving. Therefore, the original family would not collect the people's property from their homes.
At that time, the original family were like the living bodhisattvas of the common people, and their status in the hearts of the common people had long surpassed those hypocritical imperial officials.
Those dog officials looked kind on the surface, but secretly they racked their brains to think about how to cheat the people's money.
The original house is very small, probably one-tenth of those of the palaces. The furnishings in the house are also very simple. The most small house is the sword and the sword book.
Although the family’s life is compact, they are all very enjoyable. Yuan Qiuye’s father will teach other students who have no money but love martial arts every day, and teach them the way of kendo that transcends all secular views, so that everyone They all learn simple self-defense techniques to strengthen their physique.
As for the original wife, every day she teaches the children to learn poetry, painting, and music, so that the descendants of the people of the Tang Dynasty can become such talented literati like Li Taibai.
A strong home is a strong country. Only when the people are well-fed and knowledgeable, the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a truly flourishing generation.
After the two teach, they will go home and prepare delicious meals for the children.
Whenever the stars are high in the sky, Yuan Qiuye and his younger brother and sister will play under the big camphor tree in the courtyard. Sometimes they will play guessing, sometimes they will learn from each other to improve their swordsmanship and live as a family. It must be very warm, which makes many families envious.
But all happiness ended when Hara Akino was eleven years old.
At that time, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an City fell in love with Yuan Qiuye's mother, so he wanted to take that beautiful and simple woman as his own. He continued to harass the Akino family and set fire to the martial arts hall they opened.
However, Qiu Ye's father has strong force and has always protected his wife and children in the family, preventing the wicked from getting close to them. In order to stay away from the disturbance, the original family moved out of Chang'an City and returned to the old house dozens of miles away from Chang'an City. The old house was left by Akino's grandfather to the descendants of the original price.
Before, Qiu Ye's father didn't take him back to the old house in order to teach the children at the martial arts gym. That was when the family had to go back to the old house under compelling circumstances. Even so, Yuan Qiuye's father insisted on going to the rebuilt simple house to teach the children every day.
The frenzied wealthy businessman actually calculated Yuan Qiuye's father. He knew that the original family could not see the people being bullied.
So he spent money to buy the most expensive assassin in Chang'an to kill the relatives of the children who were attending classes in his martial arts gym. He wanted the original family to taste the painful feelings of life, and he wanted to make the original family become eternal. sinner.
The killer named "Ming" is indeed the most expensive killer in Fengwumen. The rich businessman hired him for a few hundred taels of gold. Of course, Ming was not in vain. He did kill all the children's relatives overnight.
Through the examination of the corpse, Qiu Ye's father found out that the murderer was Ming. Because of the full length of Ancheng, only he would use that kind of flying concealed weapon.
He knew very well that although Ming killed people invisibly, he would never kill people for no reason, and the people who were killed are still people who have no power to bind chickens. So, it is inferred from this that Ming must be commissioned before starting. However, ordinary princes and nobles, or merchants, do not have the strength to invite the Ming, the only possibility is that Jia Fu Shang hired Ming to kill people.
