Riling Up The Jianghu

Chapter 43

Views:

There is a small forest on the side of the mountain surrounding Bufan Palace, which is lush and intertwined with the green trees in the mountain. There is a stone door hidden under the cover of dense leaves, and inside the door is a cellar for storing ice.

This morning, the disciples opened a cellar to get ice and sent it to various gardens in the palace.

Inside the huge Shenbi Hall, the incense-burning copper furnace was filled with ice, and there was a lot of cold air. Duan Chenbi and Duan Huaike played chess in the main hall, while Diao Yuliang guarded Rong Luoyun in the side hall.

Raw ice is used to cool down, and clean ice is placed in a porcelain basin on the table. After cleaning his hands, Rong Luoyun shattered the ice cubes in the basin with his palm, then poured some brown sugar water and preserved fruit on the crushed ice, and then he was ready to eat.

Diao Yuliang couldn't wait to take out a bowl, and ate the ice like a hungry dog with a bone.

Rong Luoyun asked: "I haven't seen the third child all day, where did he go?"

Diao Yuliang replied: "The third brother went to collect debts." He murmured with ice in his mouth, "You have already met Huo Linfeng, so he went to ask Huo Linfeng for money, which is a thousand taels."

Whoever reads who will come, the door of the side hall creaks and pushes open, revealing a piece of blue robe corners. Lu Zhun flashed in, dressed in blue with a sapphire crown, looking very refreshing in the hot summer, but the refreshingness could not hide his anger.

He had a flat lapel and a shriveled purse, which didn't look like he was carrying a thousand taels.

Diao Yuliang asked: "Third brother, can you stuff the money under the saddle?"

Rong Luoyun replied: "That's going to kill me."

The two laughed together while chewing nonsense, and they were so angry that the little God of Wealth was angry. "Young Hu, I'm so annoying!" Lu Zhunxing sat down at the table, clattered, picked up the porcelain basin and ate ice angrily.

In vain, he pestered Rong Luoyun with good words, and finally hoped that the two of them would meet, but who knew that the surname Huo turned his back on him. Stinky soldiers, big dog officials, bastards from Saibei, there is no good person with the surname Huo!

The insults were so ear-piercing, Diao Yuliang said, "You lied to him by saying that the second brother won't reconcile with him."

Lu Zhun spat: "Of course I know! But that guy said it doesn't matter, he doesn't care at all!"

Just now she was so happy that she was smiling, Rong Luoyun paused when she heard the words. It doesn't matter if you reconcile or not, Huo Linfeng really said that? Maybe it's just to dismiss Lu Zhun

The porcelain spoon bumped against the rim of the bowl, and he ate the ice calmly, his lips and tongue were cold and sweet. Suddenly remembered the day of riding and shooting, when Huo Linfeng lowered his head and kissed him on his horse under the scorching sun, it was sweet too...but it was extremely hot.

"Second brother!" Lu Zhun yelled several times, "Don't talk to that smelly soldier again!"

Rong Luoyun said a perfunctory "Yes", but his mind was filled with the voice and smile of that stinky soldier.

After eating ice, he went into the inner hall and locked the door and locked the windows to practice Ling Yun Zhang's inner strength alone. It was afternoon at this time, and I concentrated on my thoughts until dusk, and I forgot to eat until late at night.

The lamps are lit in each garden, and the lamps are blown in each garden, and every inch of the extraordinary palace is completely dark. The hall was pitch black, and Rong Luoyun got deeper in the blink of an eye, and the air around him filled the room.

At dawn, the disciples came to Miao Cang Terrace to practice.

It was dark again, and it was clean to walk outside.

Rong Luoyun practiced for days and nights, and finally ended on the third night. Leaving Shenbi Hall, he groped his way back to the Bieyuan, snatching a lamp from the disciple on duty halfway.

Xu Shi was absent for the past two days, and Wumingju had no disciples to send ice. He was so sleepy that he didn't care about that. After taking a bath, he wore pajamas and shorts, and fell asleep after touching the bed.

At this time, the general's mansion was brightly lit. Huo Linfeng had read Shen Zhou's reply and wrote another one. In the letter, we can only exchange pleasantries, and some things are safe to say in person, so he invited the other party to come to Xiganling to talk.

After writing and dispatching, I couldn't help dipping another ink and drawing a stroke on the white Xuan. He has maps, deployment maps, and array maps at his fingertips, but he seldom draws them in a serious manner.

The blue hair is like a waterfall, and it is blacked out fiercely; the eyes are like peach blossoms, and the pupils are dotted into five petals; The arms are curved in opposite directions to form a slender waist.

"Master, let's go to bed early." Du Zheng made the bed and walked over, glanced at the table. The Jade Emperor, he said in shock: "Where is this monster? Why is it so ugly!"

Huo Linfeng raised his foot and kicked: "Fart! If he wants to look ugly, he will be ugly!"

Du Zheng pondered, could it be that Rong Luoyun was painted? Queen Mother, whether this young master likes him or hates him, he can actually paint immortals as ghosts and clouds as clay.

Huo Linfeng put down his pen and got on the bed, counting it had been "playing hard to get" for three days. On that day when Lu Zhun came to ask for money, he pretended to be indifferent, and today Huo Mu didn't buy a vat to send it to him.

The curtain fell, and Du Zheng said through the veil, "Master, insist, don't waste all your previous efforts."

Huo Linfeng snorted, covered the thin quilt and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the sunlight slanted down on the bedroom, waking up the sleeping person in the bed. Rong Luoyun was sweating profusely lying on the pillow, and tore open the front of his clothes in a daze, wishing he could kick off his panties as well.

He was so hot that he ran to the eaves and called a disciple. "Why don't you send ice? I can't die from the heat?" I was so hot that my face was flushed, and there was a glowing glow, "If you want to be beaten, just say so!"

The disciple explained: "Palace Master calm down, Wumingju doesn't have a container to hold ice, it was made into small pieces and placed in a copper basin, but it melted very quickly."

There is a large copper furnace in the Shenbi Hall, and there are large vats in the other courtyards... Rong Luoyun regretted what he did by splitting the vat! After thinking about it, Huo Linfeng said he would buy a new one when he left the barracks that day

The anger all over his body suddenly disappeared, he waved away his disciples, turned around and went back to the house.

On this day, Rong Luoyun ate fruit and chewed ice in the room, sweating profusely while waiting for a mouthful.

Until the dusk of scorching gold and flowing stones, he estimated that it would not be delivered today. Unexpectedly, tomorrow, day after day, three to five days passed and there was no trace of the flower vat. Not only did the objects not come, but the person never showed up.

Looking forward to a cloudy day, Rong Luoyun sat under the eaves and read a book.

While reading, I thought, that time when Huo Linfeng eagerly invited him to dinner, and he was about to take a rest in a blink of an eye, why there was no movement? Could it be that the injury is not good again

He raised his eyes and watched Diao Yuliang pass by, and he called to him. "Fourth, did you go to the military camp?" He asked, "Is Huo Linfeng unwell?"

Diao Yuliang said: "No, it's alive and well." He was so excited that he talked about underwater mallard fighting. After Rong Luoyun listened patiently, he hesitated and said, "Did Huo Linfeng... ask me anything?"

Diao Yuliang still said: "No."

Rong Luoyun laughed dryly, and when the other party left, he stared at the pages in a daze. Is it true that Huo Linfeng's attitude doesn't matter anymore as the third child said

It shouldn't be, I waited for four days and three nights before, and I still read his name while sleeping.

On the day of the barracks, didn't you still gnaw on his mouth? suck his tongue

Is it possible to find someone in the camp who is satisfactory, with good martial arts and appearance, and knows how to march and fight. Or maybe the little officials filled the general's mansion with Jiao'er, all of them are considerate. After the comparison, Huo Linfeng moved on, so don't you care about him

Rong Luoyun was so imaginative, Luoyun even wanted to change it to fall into the sky.

At night, he walked to the gate of the palace full of hope, climbed up the high wall, and looked around the outside of the palace while picking up bricks and stones. Does Huo Linfeng want to see him? Will you gallop your horse and wait for him

But I saw only green grass, tall trees, and no one in all directions.

The disciple on duty asked: "Palace Master, is there any difference in the situation?"

He slapped the imprint on the bricks and stones with his palm: "Of course there is a difference, even a blind person can see it." It's really abnormal, extremely abnormal, what exactly does Huo Linfeng mean? !

When Rong Luoyun walked away angrily, the disciples on duty stared wide-eyed and cheered up.

After a few more days like this, Rong Luoyun couldn't bear it anymore, and rode out on a donkey. The east and the west are separated by seven or eight miles, and if the man does not come to the west to meet him, he will look eastward on his own initiative.

Even if you lose all face, who cares, what's the use of face when you lose all your face

"Break the waves, go faster!" The other's good horse is called Chengfeng, and he calls his own donkey Polang. This lazy donkey was like pulling a millstone, twisting its buttocks in a leisurely manner, and walked for half an hour in a daze.

When we arrived at Yingkou, we could faintly hear the shouting of the school yard.

Rong Luoyun approached with his donkey, only to see a piece of paper with four words on the door - no entry for idlers. He stared and stared, who is the idler? Who is this posted for

Just as he was hesitating, a small soldier showed up: "I recognize you, you are from the extraordinary palace."

Rong Luoyun cut to the chase: "I'm looking for your general."

Xiao Bing said: "The general is not free, and all orders will not be seen."

Rong Luoyun frowned: "You go and inform Rong Luoyun to find him, or I will kill you."

The little soldier froze, hurriedly went to the account to report, and returned after a while and said: "The general is just not free, see you."

Rong Luoyun seemed to be in disbelief, staring at the camp for a moment. He wiped off his sweat, asked the soldier to send another message, and rode away on his donkey.

In the general's tent, Huo Linfeng suppressed his impulse, otherwise he would have rushed to Yingkou. While dealing with military affairs, he thought to himself, playing hard to get was really useful, Rong Luoyun actually came to him on his own initiative.

At this time, the little soldier entered the account: "General Qi, Rong Luoyun has left."

Huo Linfeng got up immediately, and rushed to Yingkou with strides, staring at the distant figure to quench his thirst. "Did he say anything?" he asked. Xiaobing replied: "Rong Luoyun told you to pay attention to rest and be careful about heatstroke."

Huo Linfeng suddenly realized that this strategy worked because the other party cared, and it had nothing to do with anything else.

In the blink of an eye for more than half a month, the two have not seen each other. Rong Luoyun has changed from doubt, worry, and anxiety to being lost, confused, and damn it.

On this day, with a bunt on his head and a bunt, he went up the mountain to practice kung fu very neatly.

Lengsang Mountain is stretching and majestic, like a moat to protect the city, the higher it is, the colder it is. Rong Luoyun gradually climbed up the mountainside, the dense forest covered the sun and it was very quiet, only the low cries of wild animals could be heard occasionally.

Finding a good place, he began to practice Ling Yun Zhang.

Surrounded by thick and old trees, with one slap, the birds flew away in fright, and with another slap, several grass snakes fell down. About an hour passed, his eyes flashed, and he jumped into the tree.

In the bushes, a silver-gray wild wolf was slowly approaching.

Aiming at the right moment, Rong Luoyun swooped down, breaking Gray Wolf's spine with his palm. He continued to practice, and broke through to the third floor for a whole day, and the mountain gradually became dark.

Before it was dark, he picked some wild fruits and found a cave to spend the night, stopping to drink water when passing by streams. After drinking, I got up together, the birds above my head fluttered their wings, and there was light footsteps behind me.

Turning slowly, he gasped.

Among the bushes were dozens of pairs of blue eyes, and the shadows of wolves swayed like ghosts. Rong Luoyun's face sank like water, and he pulled out a dagger from the back of his waist, and seven or eight gray wolves rushed towards him in a flickering cold light. He drew the knife sideways, spattered wolf blood through his fur, attacked from all sides, and fought with more than a dozen beasts in the dark.

The dagger was dyed red, and the sound of piercing flesh filled the ears. Faced with a wolf with blue-faced fangs, he climbed over, grabbed the wolf's head with his palm and crushed the skull.

The neighing pierced the sky, causing the jackals to bark wildly, the crouching tiger howled lowly, and the sound of the herd of beasts spread far down the mountain.

Suddenly water splashed, Rong Luoyun forced himself into the stream, he panicked when he touched the water, and was scratched in the abdomen in an instant. Anger filled his chest under the pain, and he threw out several palms to kill the wolf.

He was bleeding, and the smell of human blood would attract other beasts.

Rong Luoyun wiped some wolf blood to cover it up, and hurriedly found a hidden cave to hide. In the pitch black, he clutched his wound and fell among the weeds, his lower abdomen twitching slightly from the pain.

The mountains were deeper and the dew was heavier, and his clothes were cold and wet and stuck to his body, making him shiver from the cold.

As the night passed, Rong Luoyun curled up into a ball and heard the grass rustling in a daze.

He squinted at the entrance of the cave, clenched the dagger tightly in one hand, but unexpectedly, a figure flashed into him. The other party raised his sword and backed his arrow. He was a hunter in the mountains. "This big brother..." he called out a little weakly.

Orion approached him and asked in surprise, "There are so many dead wolves by the stream, did you kill them?"

Rong Luoyun nodded: "I belong to the Extraordinary Palace."

When Orion heard this, he couldn't help but look carefully: "Are you injured? Do you want to inform the people in the Extraordinary Palace for you?"

Rong Luoyun was still curled up, his posture was very embarrassing, like the time when he fell into the water, or the time in Hanzhou. He couldn't help thinking of Huo Linfeng, is Huo Linfeng still busy? Will you come to find him if you know something is wrong

He replied: "...help me inform General Huo that those wolf corpses belong to you."

Orion nodded in agreement, and hurriedly left his mark and went down the mountain. Rong Luoyun was apprehensive, not sure whether that person would come, so he could only stare at the entrance of the cave.

For half an hour, an hour, he waited in the cave.

I don't know how long it has passed, there is a vague and chaotic sound, is Huo Linfeng coming? He craned his neck to watch, discerning the sound of approaching footsteps amidst the confusion.

After approaching the entrance of the cave, two officials came in.

Rong Luoyun raised his heart: "Where is your general?"

The official replied: "The general is outside."

Why not come in? Rong Luoyun didn't believe it, his heart was wrenched in unspeakable anguish, and he threw the dagger violently. The official was so frightened that he ran out and ran a few steps to a bush.

Huo Linfeng leaned over among the bushes, and when he heard that something happened to Rong Luoyun, he was frightened, so he hurriedly brought people over. Following the sign, I happened to see a few jackals approaching the cave, and they had just been killed.

He clapped his hands and got up, walked to the entrance of the cave with a small bundle, and saw the people inside at a glance. With his head down and his legs curled up, he looked ashamed and felt aggrieved. He said aloud: "In such a situation, I still pick and choose. If I delay, I won't be afraid of being photographed by wild bears and captured by wild wolves."

Rong Luoyun looked over quickly, his eyes were filled with surprise and joy, but they couldn't hide the strong resentment. With a cold face, the tip of his dusty nose proudly twitched. Huo Linfeng made that frown and frown soften his heart, and walked over, shaking off the burden in his hands.

He opened the water bag to feed water, twisted the handkerchief to wipe his face, and then unfolded the cloak to wrap Rong Luoyun. Leaning closer, his nose was filled with the stench of human blood mixed with wolf blood, he was like an old man hurting a baby: "Let go, let me see the injury."

Rong Luoyun said aggrievedly: "What's so good about being hurt, look at me." After saying it, she regretted it, and she didn't like to see him anymore. Would you still like to look at him? He let go: "These days..."

Huo Linfeng watched, and asked cruelly, "Do you miss me these days?"

Rong Luoyun nodded, and Huo Linfeng asked again: "Do you want Eucommia or Huo Zhong?"

Rong Luoyun was taken aback for a moment: "That's right, I just miss you."

Huo Linfeng was terribly mean: "Then you should be nice and call me 'General Huo' in a nonchalant manner."

Rong Luoyun said dully: "General Huo."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Linfeng lightened his body, hugged his shoulders and hooked his legs, and hugged him firmly. He hugged the other party's neck tightly, like vines entangled branches, infatuated.

Huo Linfeng smiled, and carried him down the mountain with a pair of iron arms, soaking through the layered clothes. The carriage swayed down the mountain, and finally stopped at the grand gate, and finally returned home.

Rong Luoyun was confused in his arms: "Have you arrived at the Extraordinary Palace?"

Huo Linfeng responded and abducted the man into the General's Mansion.
