Riling Up The Jianghu

Chapter 14

Views:

That day they collided between trees, and then Rong Luoyun walked around the trees. Fortunately, in Taiping these days, he lives in seclusion and rarely shows up, and is bored in the unknown almost all the time.

There are two streams of light smoke in the room, one for burning incense and one for boiling water. The doors and windows are tightly closed, and the two streams of smoke merge into one stream and it is difficult to get out. There is a chessboard on the desk, only white pieces are placed, which is the Yangba game of Qimenzhong.

Rong Luoyun didn't wear a robe, and held his hand with his cuffs, as if looking for convenience. "Bamen Keying—" he read, but was interrupted by a series of footsteps outside the house, and when someone knocked on the door, he annoyed, "Get out."

The knock on the door paused, and was replaced by an aggrieved "Second Brother".

Rong Luoyun changed his words: "Come in." Three points of disgust and seven points of helplessness, the door was brushed and pushed, and Lu Zhun hurried in. He raised his eyes and saw the opponent from head to toe, and his disgust rose to eight points.

Lu Zhun usually wears brocade clothes and crowns, wishing to pile up gold and jade, and the purse around his waist is never dry. At this moment, the world is turned upside down, with rough hemp bunts, plain gauze crowns, and sorrows coming and going between the brows, making people feel rich and honor like flowing clouds.

He cried with a sad face: "Second brother, I am so miserable."

Rong Luoyun's eyes showed pity, but his heart was like a mirror, this brat came to pretend to be pitiful. Looking down at the board, he observes the star gate Keying, the eighth house, the warehouse is really well prepared, and it is auspicious.

Lu Zhun came over: "Second brother, can you tell my fortune from the chart?"

Rong Luoyun said seriously: "Don't bother me, it's good luck. Annoy me, it's bad luck."

As soon as Lu Zhun heard that there was only gloomy clouds left, he put in 10,000 taels back and forth. He couldn't chase after yesterday, and neither could the scattered gold and silver, so he had to build another mountain. His specialty is nothing more than robbing houses and houses, but ever since he caused trouble by robbing and killing the guards, Rong Luoyun forbade him to leave the city.

"Second Brother," he asked, "I have no other choice right now, can you allow me to rob the Dao?"

The tone was like weeping and complaining, and anyone who listened to it would feel soft-hearted, but Rong Luoyun was extraordinary, and nonsense said: "Combining the punishment of the snake, a catastrophe is coming. Avoid disaster and take refuge, and follow Siji." He sighed, embraced Siji Leaning on Lu Zhun's shoulder, "Third brother, since you robbed and killed the Xiaowei army, the disaster has begun. The chain has developed so far, and you have to be obedient to avoid it."

Lu Zhun looked panic-stricken, and said in silence for a moment: "Second brother, you are definitely right."

But when people die for wealth, what disaster can be more painful than the disaster of poverty? He put his arms around Rong Luoyun and said, "Second brother, it's really not right for me to be alone. If you accompany me, wouldn't it be safe?"

Rong Luoyun choked, cursed inwardly, and then pretended to agree: "You wait for me outside the door, and I will accompany you after this round." After finishing speaking, Lu Zhun obediently closed the door and waited, listening to the movement, He was still eating his fruits in the outer hall.

Bowing his head and continuing, he looked at the pan and said silently: When the tent was on the hour, the trees fell in the northwest and the birds scattered... The tiger entered the cave.

Rong Luoyun couldn't help but wonder, is there something wrong with the border in the northwest

In fact, he simplified it into a complicated one. To the northwest of Wumingju is Qianjitang, a small courtyard. Huo Linfeng just chopped down an old tree with a knife. The birds are gone, the insects and ants come out, and one yard is as chaotic as a wild forest.

Huo Linfeng dipped a ladle of cold spring to moisten it, and suddenly heard crickets chirping, guessing it was Diao Yuliang who came to look for it again. "Eucommia," Sure enough, Diao Yuliang rode onto the wall at some point, "Come out with me to catch fish?"

The invitation was warm, and Huo Linfeng wanted to win trust, so he readily agreed. After cleaning his hands and changing his clothes, he left Qianji Hall with Diao Yuliang, a small carriage was parked outside the hall. He drove along a long road towards the gate of the palace, passing through the Zangjin Pavilion, Diao Yuliang wondered: "The surname Lu pestered me to death, why is he so peaceful today?"

Being chewed behind his back, Lu Zhun's nasal cavity was itchy: "Ah Choo!"

In the bedroom, Rong Luoyun paused for a while, and put on his robe lightly. Pushing open the window and supporting the lattice, he left Lu Zhun and flew over, leaving Wumingju in one breath, and drove for a while.

Landing at the corner, he turned around and faced the galloping carriage.

"Hoo!" Startled, Huo Linfeng yanked on the reins and hurriedly stopped, causing Diao Yuliang to jump out of the car. "Second Brother?" Diao Yuliang saw it clearly and couldn't wait to claim credit, "We'll go catch fish and catch red carp for you!"

There seemed to be Lu Zhun calling out from a distance, and he might be entangled for a long time after chasing him. Rong Luoyun said: "I'll go together." After he finished speaking, he boarded the car, and moved a little more hastily, flicking his wide sleeves across Huo Linfeng's cheek. Not to mention that, he patted his broad shoulders again, urging him to leave quickly.

Huo Linfeng flicked his horsewhip and galloped towards the palace gate.

Outside the Bufan palace, the spring breeze stirs the spring scenery, and all eyes are full of vitality. Rong Luoyun tied up the curtains, lazily leaning on the wall of the car to enjoy the scenery along the way. After walking for two or three miles, he asked, "Where are you going to catch fish?"

Diao Yuliang replied, "Lingbi Tang."

Rong Luoyun frowned and stared, the Lingbi soup was under the steep mountains and in the dense forest, and it was more than a hundred miles away, and it really went to war to catch fish. Diao Yuliang had a guilty conscience, and hid it with a laugh, coaxing Rong Luoyun into not dissuading her.

At this time, Huo Linfeng asked: "Palace Master, how do you get the Ling Ling soup?"

Diao Yuliang snorted and replaced Huo Linfeng, and Huo Linfeng returned to Cheyu. It was cramped all around, with wooden barrels and bamboo poles crowded inside, and there was no place for his long legs to rest.

Seeing this, Rong Luoyun curled up to make room. Huo Linfeng said in a low voice, "Thank you, Palace Master, for your thoughtfulness." They were still close, their clothes were overlapping each other, and when you raised your eyes, you looked at me and I looked at you, there was no way to avoid it.

Rong Luoyun simply turned his face away and stared at Diao Yuliang's braid for a long time, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab it. It was the right hand that was injured before, sticking out of the car, almost transparent by the sunlight, but the new flesh of the wound was pink. His sleeves were dangling, and a fragrant fragrance was wafting out.

Diao Yuliang chuckled: "Second brother, you're going to make me bald."

Rong Luoyun laughed and said, "If you have three thousand worries, you will be bald."

He accepted it as soon as he was ready, turned his head and blinked, and met Huo Linfeng's gaze. The other party looked at him, and there was no intention of avoiding the meeting of eyes at this moment. He asked lightly, "What are you looking at?"

Huo Linfeng didn't know what he was looking at, maybe he was looking at Rong Luoyun's unscarred right hand, at the corners of his eyes and mouth that raised a small arc, and at the undisciplined sideburns scratching his delicate ear.

The bumpy forest road, the eyes of the ancient well without waves.

Steeply, the carriage turned eastward, rolled over a stubborn rock, and the carriage violently shook.

Huo Linfeng relaxed all over, so he jumped forward unexpectedly and reached out to support the wall of the car, but before he touched it, his chest hurt. He held back his muffled groan, but the curtains fell apart in shock, covering the spring light and the spring wind, and the narrow world instantly dimmed.

Huo Linfeng looked down, Rong Luoyun's white silk shoes were kicking against his heart, and his legs were slightly curled up to prevent him from approaching. This kick was so strong that it knocked out his heartbeat...

When the carriage gradually stabilized, Rong Luoyun put down his legs and played with the jade pendant on his waist pretending nothing happened. Huo Linfeng sat down covering his heart, and explained to himself: "I have a sense of proportion, I won't hit you."

For the rest of the journey, the two of them reached Lingbi Tang in silence without saying a word.

"Wow!" Diao Yuliang tightened the reins of the horse, and before the car stopped, he galloped to the lake, stripped naked, and jumped into the water like a whitebait. The surrounding world is blue, with dense trees and thick leaves, floating light mist of water, and dozens of small waterfalls hanging on the high mountains and cliffs. Swimming through a cave, the water and the sky are wide, but you can see the boundless blue waves.

Huo Linfeng had never seen such a sight before, he looked around intently, endlessly greedy. Suddenly his shoulder went numb, the bamboo pole was poking at his acupuncture point, when he looked back, it was Rong Luoyun attacking again.

Rong Luoyun ordered: "Move all the barrels down."

At any rate, he is the young master of the Hou Mansion and the general of Saibei, not to mention pampered, but also held by the servant girl and the housekeeper. Huo Linfeng rubbed his shoulders and said displeasedly: "The palace master is very fierce, and always treats people well." Pedal and hit."

Rong Luoyun was startled, this man was so tall, did he act like a spoiled child to him wronged? After a while, he regained his senses, holding the bamboo pole in his hand and said, "I didn't use much strength."

Huo Linfeng rubbed his chest instead, a little aggressively: "But you step on the important place, which is my life gate."

Rong Luoyun retorted: "The Gate of Fate is as fragile as paper, you are a bit fragile as a big disciple." When he approached until he brushed shoulders, he looked at people with pride, "Do you think I am willing to touch you?"

Huo Linfeng blurted out: "I'm not a jade girl, of course the palace lord doesn't want to." After speaking, Fang felt too derogatory, and then looked at Rong Luoyun, the other party's eyes were slightly cold, and his brows were slightly frowned, staring at him with anger and distaste glanced at him.

Fishing by the lake, Rong Luoyun found a big rock by himself, hooked the bait, threw his pole into the water and waited quietly. Crash! Diao Yuliang jumped out of the lake, pinched a big fish swinging with both hands, and had dinner.

"Eucommia!" Diao Yuliang shouted, "Come down!"

Huo Linfeng took off his underwear, refused to go barebacked, and entered the water. It was so cold that he shivered. After he got used to it, he felt infinitely sweet. He accompanied Diao Yuliang to the waterfall, held his breath, and entered the deep cave through the water curtain.

The lake is deep and hard to reach the bottom, and the colder it gets as you swim, it takes nearly half a stick of incense to cross to the entrance of the cave. It was bright in an instant, the sky was blue and the water was clear, and groups of red carps were shining like auspicious signs. Diao Yuliang said: "One person catches two and brings them back to the second brother."

Huo Linfeng suddenly asked: "Master Fourth, I am nine years older than you, but you seem to be happy to play with me?"

First he asked his name during the martial arts competition, then he showed mercy to him when he broke through the barrier, he took him to familiarize himself with the terrain of the palace that day, and today he asked him to go out again. He was really curious why this kid favored him so much. Unexpectedly, Diao Yuliang said: "Because I won a lot of money thanks to you."

"..." Huo Linfeng was stunned, "Bet me?"

Diao Yuliang said: "Second brother asked me to choose you, and even helped me raise my bet."

Huo Linfeng wondered even more, he was an unknown person when he first entered the rivers and lakes, why did Rong Luoyun choose him? Since he raised his bet, it meant that he had a lot of confidence in him, so where did Rong Luoyun get his confidence

Unable to think about it, he swam to the school of fish, dived into the bottom of the lake to chase red carps, took off his coat to catch two, and even went back to the cave... He still couldn't figure it out.

On the boulder, the wooden barrel was empty, Rong Luoyun hugged the bamboo pole and lowered his head, with dense leaves on his head, and spots of light leaked from the gaps on his body. The crystal of the lake is shining brightly, and he sleeps brightly, and the swimming fish are not willing to bite their hooks to disturb his clear dream.

But swimming fish are reluctant, some people are willing.

Huo Linfeng swam to the edge of the boulder, floated lightly on the water, looked up and saw Rong Luoyun dozing off. Kicking his heart, hitting his shoulders, and brushing his face with the loose sleeves, he did all kinds of annoying things, but now he put on a soft and naive attitude.

With a bad intention, he submerged in the water, grabbed the hook, and tugged lightly.

The bamboo pole moved slightly, Rong Luoyun narrowed his eyes in confusion, and when he lifted it, he felt that he was tripping. He woke up joyfully, held the bamboo pole tightly and lifted it upwards. He didn't know how hard he was, but he was overjoyed: "Fourth, I caught a big one."

It really is a big one, more than eight feet long, with a body of iron and flesh, and it is gnawing at the hook. Rong Luoyun stood up and tugged hard, but it still didn't work. He cautiously took half a step closer, but was too timid to move forward.

Huo Linfeng dived into the water and couldn't judge his strength, and he was a brutal soldier, so he pulled suddenly.

Rong Luoyun was horrified, his body was dragged forward, the boulder was slippery and difficult to balance, he dropped the bamboo pole and fell into the lake.

The moment he fell into the water, the blood on his face faded, and the surrounding lake water submerged him, falling, falling, his robes dangling around like duckweed.

He couldn't call out for help by moving his lips, only filled with infinite coldness, as if someone was coming, but he was even more frightened, and suddenly suffocated at the bottom of the lake. At this time, his wrist was caught, and a big hand grabbed his waist, and with a splash, he surfaced and saw the sun again.

Rong Luoyun's eyes were loose, and the clear water came out, but his eyes were red. He was cold, frightened, and turned upside down when he killed the world, like a child with no strength to restrain a chicken.

"Palace Master?" Huo Linfeng called out, "Palace Master?!"

Close at hand, he hugged Rong Luoyun, his chest heaving violently against Rong Luoyun. The two red carps took advantage of the situation and fled, waving their tails around them, Rong Luoyun's eyes were empty, as if he had been haunted.

Huo Linfeng clamped his slender waist with his iron arm, and patted Rong Luoyun's cheek with the other hand, but helplessly, he held Rong Luoyun's back neck and kneaded it a little. Blaming him for losing his sense of proportion, he said: "It's my fault—"

Before he could finish speaking, tears welled up in Rong Luoyun's red eyes, and they dripped down on the surface of the lake, causing small ripples. His thin lips moved, he murmured something and relaxed his body, and his whole body obediently and tremblingly fell on Huo Linfeng's shoulder.

Huo Linfeng's heart stopped beating, and his soft lips pressed against his ear, repeating over and over again - "Don't kill me."

... so sad that it hurts.
