On July 18th and July 19th, the army of the imperial court and the people from Dulonggang came to Jeju. At the same time, the news of Song Jiang and other Liangshan's last wave of people being killed was also spread far and near by the government.
From Zhuxi to Anping, the people in the green forest who participated in the rioting started to scatter birds and beasts. They felt that they had sinned against Ning Rentu and cleaned up the grass. However, when 10,000 or 20,000 people started to sweep the past from Zhuxi, there were still many people. affected and cleaned up. Ning Yi doesn't care who among these people. The matter has been basically completed, and there is no need for him to participate in person. As for venting his anger after the murder, he is not keen on it. Whether it is Wu Ruiying or Dulonggang, there is a set of methods for dealing with this kind of thing, whether it is from the government or the rivers and lakes. And after dealing with it, it can maintain the next deterrent.
Of course, there are also some follow-up matters, which have been coming over in the following days. For example, the director of the Wu Rui camp, and officials from various parties who visited or invited one after another, after the Liangshan incident was over, no one dared to despise Ning Yi's existence here. It took Ning Yi a lot of time to get rid of them one by one.
On the 19th of July, Wang Shanyue, Zhu Biao and others also came over to meet Ning Yi and Lu Hongti. Everyone was surprised that Ning Yi's master was such a young woman.
However, youth is also relative to the identity of "Master", Lu Hongti is three or four years older than Ning Yi. In Ning Yi's eyes, Hongti is at a young and beautiful age. For Wang Shanyue and others, her seniority is higher than Ning Yi's, which is not very difficult to accept.
Between Ning Yi and Hong Ti, the atmosphere of getting along for the next two days was actually a little bit estranged. This estrangement existed when Wang Shanyue and others came over, but in fact, it might have been earlier in Hong Ti's heart. For Ning Yi, he could vaguely perceive Hongti's subconscious mind defense, but in fact, in the first few days, he had to do a lot of things, even if it was just some reception and entertainment, it actually took up a lot of time.
Regarding Hongti, he had something brewing in his heart. And in the past two days, he invited people to summon the best cooks in several nearby counties so that every meal we ate together was the most exquisite and delicious food in the surrounding areas. For Ning Yi, there is no need for vulgar reasons to do this kind of thing, he just does it if he can. He doesn't mind the worst, and he doesn't shy away from the best. The conversation between the two of them every day is probably during mealtime and after nightfall.
Hongti's injury is not serious, at least after Zhou Tong left, she has recovered on the surface. The two lived in the small courtyard left by Zhou Tong, and they would still give Ning Yi a series of pushes through the acupoints every night. Ning Yi originally felt that her injuries had not healed and refused to do so, but Lu Hongti insisted. , let her go.
When the two were together, it was often Ning Yi who said, Hong Ti listened, she had something on her mind, and there was not much time to answer. When Wang Shanyue and others came over, Hongti cared more about Master's image in front of Ning Yi. Since there are often others around, even if you have a relatively intimate mood, it is not easy to express yourself. Although Hongti's temperament is easy, she is Ning Yi's elder after all, and Wang Shanyue and others are not very close to her.
At noon on the 21st of July, Ning Yi finished the meeting with the governor of Jeju, and asked Hong to mention the best restaurant in Yiyuan County for dinner. There were not many dishes, but of course they were the best. During the meal, a group of marriage teams in the county town passed downstairs beating gongs and drums. Hongti watched for a while, and Ning Yi saw it. After returning to the courtyard, he deliberately said something, but someone came to visit, Ning Yi temporarily gave up his thoughts and went out to entertain guests.
In the afternoon sun, when Wang Shanyue walked through the courtyard corridor, she saw the tall woman standing quietly in the courtyard's light, her head slightly raised, and she seemed a little lonely. But then Hongti turned his head and smiled at him and said hello.
After a while, Wang Shanyue and Ning Yi went out on horseback, but he raised it cautiously: "Looks like... Senior Lu, I have something on my mind..."
"Well, I know." Ning Yi nodded.
Some things have been circling in Ning Yi's mind for a few days. He is ready to finish the matter and chat with Hong Ti in the evening. However, in the afternoon, someone suddenly came to report that Miss Lu had packed up and left the city, and only had someone leave a message for Ning Yi that she had returned. The Dulonggang steward who passed the message thought it might be very important, and hurry up and report it. . Ning Yi frowned, turned away the entertainment with the officials, and chased him out on horseback.
Not long after, the steward probably realized that Hongti's identity was important, and asked someone to follow him, but it was not too far out of the city, when Hongti entered the forest, he was lost. Ning Yi rode his horse all the way up to the highest hill nearby, and when he reached the top of the hill, the sun shone down. He couldn't see anyone, but somehow he knew that the other party was still nearby.
Wang Shanyue, who was following behind, saw Ning Yi shouting from the top of the mountain: "Lu Hongti—you come back to me—"
With the internal force of Po Liudao forcing to send out, the voice spread far away in the mountains and forests, and an echo sounded.
"I know what you're thinking—I have something to tell you! But whether you come back or not, listen to me—wait for me to go to Luliangshan to find you—"
The voice of "wait for me to go to Luliangshan to find you" echoed in the forest, and Ning Yi then called it twice. After standing for a while, he stopped his horse and returned. Wang Shanyue saw his expression. He wanted to say something and asked, but he couldn't say it. Is this pair of masters and disciples really...
Thinking like this, they returned along the road. After getting on the road, Ning Yi immediately ordered others to fetch the surrounding map. He chose the most likely route for ordinary people to return to Luliang, and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers in the vicinity to conduct a thorough investigation, and then walked in that direction. Wang Shanyue said, "Didn't you say to go to Luliang Mountain—"
Ning Yi's eyes were stern: "What a joke, if you have something to say, go to Luliang Mountain. I just numb her by saying that. Let's wait for her at the intersection ahead!"
Several people ran all the way, drove more than ten miles, found a dark carriage at a nearby post station, and then quietly waited near the intersection. Ning Yi put his fist on his knee and waited for Hongti's figure to pass by the roadside. However, time passed by moment by moment, and this day, when the sun set in the evening, the red color ignited, and she did not see her, and then waited until the sky darkened. Zeng - not the soldiers at the intersection are too serious, and even asked someone to tell them to be lazy! The night is getting darker, and the sound of wind and animals can be heard in the mountains. Ning Yi put down the curtain, and finally smiled like a self-deprecating smile, and let people drive the carriage back all the way.
There was only a small post on the way back. Ning Yi and Wang Shanyue went to the post to ask if there were people like Lu Hongti who came to stay, but there was no answer. It is estimated that this evening she is living in the forest again. Ning Yi and others asked for a room in the inn, so they will rest here for the time being.
The road passed from the outside, and the front and back of the station were all mountains. Ning Yi sat for a long time in the darkness outside, looking at the large black forest. Maybe... Wen Yu and the others are right. Sure enough, he is not very good at picking girls.
Around midnight, there was a wolf howling in the mountains. The sound was mixed with the mountain wind, and the darkness from far and near isolated the place. Beneath the sky, only this little post station, which was wrapped in darkness, shone a little. Ning Yi went back to the inn's room, pushed open the door and came to the bedside, remembering that he didn't turn on the light, and was about to turn around when a throbbing feeling came from behind, he turned around, there were red eyes and a hand in the darkness. He walked around and pressed it lightly on the back of his head.
Ning Yi's body was stiff and paralyzed, his limbs were weak, unable to speak, and even the feeling of tiredness came up, but in front of him was Hongti. She supported Ning Yi and made him lie down on the bed, her fingers still supporting his The back of his head, put him in a state before he was about to fall into a coma, and was able to hear her clearly.
"I-I've been watching you..."
Hongti leaned over, her tone was slightly choked, but there was an uncontrollable emotion inside. The water dripped down and landed on Ning Yi's face, warm and moist.
"You're too cunning, I'm leaving, I, I don't want you to talk, because you're too smart, if you talk, I'll definitely not be able to leave..." She sniffed, "You expected everything , but what you didn't expect is that after you chase after you, I will follow you, I can't bear to go, I want to see you more, you only didn't think of this..."
"I, I saw you rushing over like that, waiting on Luca's side, trying to catch me. Seeing you angry, seeing you irritable... You have never done that even in the worst circumstances, even if Whether it was in Hangzhou, or we were hunted down in the mountains, you have never been like that. I can't express how happy I am. Ning Liheng... but I am your master..."
"I know it shouldn't be like this, I, I'm too old, and I'm your master... But I don't know why, I have you in my heart, I'm not worthy of you..." She Trying to suppress his emotions, "I originally wanted to come down to meet you, but when I met those people in Liangshan, I wanted to help you, and I can only say that it is your master. You are a good person, I know you see I'm worried, and I know you've been in trouble these days... But I've made up my mind, I'm leaving.
She said: "This is the best result. Senior Zhou is right. Since we are already masters and apprentices, we should not be lovers... Heh, lovers... I was thinking blindly. I don't want to. Listening to you, I don't want good or bad, I made a decision, and you can't stop me. I just want to... come here... finish telling you this. Don't move, you'll fall asleep soon Yes, get up tomorrow morning, I won't be here, don't look for me, I really made a decision, I..."
Her voice was choked, her fingers were trying hard to make Ning Yi fall asleep, but in the dim light, Ning Yi opened his eyes, and the blood vessels on his forehead were bulging. The qi and blood were transported, and the internal force of breaking six paths worked hard to keep him awake, and squeezed the blood vessels and meridians that were pinched by Hongti. Hongti shook his head: "what are you doing... don't do this... "
Naturally, she could let Ning Yi fall asleep, but in this case, Ning Yi was bound to be seriously injured. In fact, at this moment, running qi and blood on his head had already put a lot of pressure on him. Ning Yi's eyes were fierce and his lips After shaking a few times, he said with difficulty: "You... listen..."
Hongti let go of the back of his head, and with a slam, blood poured out of Ning Yi's mouth. She panicked all of a sudden, blood gushed up from her hands, and her hot fingers tried to soothe the blood on Ning Yi's head. Ning Yi took a few breaths, stared at her, and tried to raise her strength with one hand. , grabbed onto her clothes, no matter where she grabbed it. Hongti still pressed his fingers on his forehead, shook his head and said, "don't do this... don't move..."
Ning Yi gritted his teeth and pulled Hong Ti's entire body onto the bed with a sudden force, and the two almost rolled to the inside of the bed. Hongti was worried about his condition and was willing to accommodate his strength. At this time, Ning Yi was almost leaning on top of her, and Hongti put his hands on both sides of his forehead. He wanted to speak, but then his eyes widened, because Ning Yi has roughly put his arms into her clothes, pressed them against her skin, and pressed them to her chest. She couldn't speak, because Ning Yi leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. On, this is the first time that Hongti has felt such a taste, the breath of fresh blood meets each other's mouths, soft, warm and bloody, and Ning Yi's hand has been directly caught in her chest. superior.
"I..." Ning Yi moved his lips slightly away from hers, trying to maintain consciousness, "I, I can accept you to make your decision... and do things to me that I don't like! But ... you have to listen to me and finish. I will leave you..."
He said, pulling his arms down: "Even if this is the case... it's worth it!" Ning Yi lay on top of her, breathing quickly, blood was still dripping from his mouth, and he didn't have much strength, but with the following With a wave of his arm, he pulled Hongti's skirt and trousers downwards. Since Hongti was lying there, with this force, only a part of Hongti's skirt and trousers were pulled away, revealing her buttocks and trousers. When her legs came, Ning Yi's hand stopped between her legs.
Ning Yi was lying on top of her, trying hard to maintain her consciousness so that she would not faint. Hongti was already stunned by his arrogance at this moment. Not at all. After being stunned for a while, he pressed Ning Yi's forehead and cried out...
