Chapter 272: A Wave of Unsettled
The first time I saw Liu Watermelon was in the summer when the girl was eleven years old. Thinking about it at this time, although the two of them can be called world friends, they haven't actually had too many cordial intersections, and what no one knows is that almost from the first meeting, he has been amazed by this girl.
It's hard to figure out whether all this is because of the dazzling bright eyes when I first saw it, or the concentration of the girl in white who dragged a big knife and slashed under the tree. At that time, Badaozhuang was one of the most powerful Jianghu sects in the southwest green forest, and his father Lou Minzhong was a famous Confucian in Sichuan and Shu, and the two did not seem to intersect, but Badao Liu Dabiao had a very close relationship with Fang La, who was in charge of Manichaeism, and Lou Minzhong was already one of the high-level Manichaeans at that time.
Manichaeism, green forests, and rebellion did not have much to do with Lou Jingzhi, who had just come of age at the time, and his family history was sixteen years old, and he was outstanding in poetry and writing, and under the protection of his father, he could be called literary and graceful. He also knows about the involvement of cults and even rebellions in his family, but he does not see it seriously, because no matter how serious the matter is, he is confident that he will be able to handle it in the future.
At this time, there are three main things that attract him: girl, girl, and girl. And with his quality at this time, any girl is also handy, the women in the Qinglou are all in favor of him, and everyone is also devoted to him, even if it is a chivalrous girl, some of them also have a lot of admiration for him - we can't criticize him for this, he is not a ** person, but as a person who has just become an adult, he enjoys this feeling, and it is also human nature.
He is handsome and talented, he speaks carefully, listens carefully to convenience, has a little humor, and purses his lips and smiles at convenience. When I first met this girl as a child. In his imagination. That's probably the case. He didn't think about how he would do to this girl at the time, but he had a good impression, and he knew that everyone was a world friend, and the first greeting in the past was: "Hello, you are a watermelon girl, I am your brother Jingzhi." The other party looked at him and thought that he was a guest, and it was not easy to cut people, so he put away the knife and left.
It wasn't long before he learned that the girl was particularly unhappy with her name. He thought about it for years after that. Is this opening line messing up everything, girls are very resentful after all. Sometimes I think that her father casually gave her a name like watermelon, over the years, there must have been a lot of people who accidentally called her, why she hated herself alone, mostly because she was secretly in love with herself and it was hard to say.
When he was sure that he liked this growing girl very much, Lou Jingzhi often thought like this.
Of course, the intersection of the two will not stop at that greeting. Later, he took the initiative to speak or make overtures many times. But the other party's attitude is only limited to the politeness of the "world brother". He also considers himself a talkative person many times, and can talk and laugh most of the time. However, imagine that when a person opens his mouth on other occasions, the other party will listen carefully, or echo or laugh loudly, and when facing this woman, no matter what he says, the other party will only respond politely. After a long time, he will finally feel embarrassed.
During this time, he had heard his father say that when he and Liu Xigua were young, his father had intended to make a marriage contract between the two. I originally thought that this matter would be done, no matter how powerful the Liu family was, it was just a martial artist. To be able to match a son-in-law like the Lou family, I must be happy. But after several twists and turns, things did not work out. The two families did not fight each other because of this, the most important thing is that Liu Dabiao regards his daughter as an only son and is unwilling to set his daughter's fate from the beginning. Although the world now pays attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, Liu Dabiao acts boldly and eclecticly, he loves this daughter the most, and will deal with it like this, and the father can only express his understanding in the end. …,
Since then, the two families have often interacted, but Lou Jingzhi's friendship with the girl has not progressed. On the eve of the Manichaean uprising, Liu Dabiao was killed by people in the government, and Xiao Watermelon inherited the family business, but still called himself Liu Dabiao. Lou Jingzhi felt that she could understand that the girl had carried her father's burden and wanted to make a name for her father, but this was not her own burden. Come to think of it, as a woman, who is really willing to show her head and intrigue with others.
Then Manichaeism secretly started an incident, and his father echoed it, and Badaozhuang also joined in, and there was more room for the two to meet. If this is a deep relationship between the two, he can directly go to the other party and say: "Your responsibility, I will shoulder it for you, you marry into my Lou family, but Badaozhuang can still be surnamed Liu, I will run it well for you." "He's confident in that. It's a pity that this is the relationship between the two who are still "brothers and sisters", so he can only talk to each other occasionally and convey his affection side by side.
But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, for him, the very sincere communication, every time it can't work, in the end, he can only think that the other party is a woman, but he is too innocent and dull, so he likes the other party even more. Later, he decided to take a dose of fierce medicine and asked the other party to really consider this matter, so he skillfully spread the words that the two had a marriage contract through a series of techniques.
At this time, the inner circle of the rebel army was still very small, and he and Fang La and the others could almost be said to live under the same roof, even if they set up tents, they couldn't be far apart. Little Watermelon commanded the Badao Battalion, but after her father died, the one who could really worry about her was probably Fang La, only a few days after the news came out, and it was already said that the two were extremely compatible, and he knew that Fang La and others had even been tempted to match.
However, at a banquet after this, the girl who had been veiled at this time and did not take the initiative to participate in too many gatherings went straight to the camp, and pulled out a sword to cut him, if it weren't for his father's quick reaction at the time, he drew his sword to block it, and Fang La, Buddha Shuai and others were also present, I am afraid that he would have been cut in half that day.
After this incident, even Fang La and the others no longer asked each other's attitude towards him. Fortunately, his father still took care of the sword camp after that, so that he would not be too embarrassed when he faced the girl again. Many things have been puzzled.,I don't understand what kind of girl has always had that attitude towards him.,Now that I think about it.,It can only be attributed to the fact that I didn't receive setbacks before.,Talking and doing things too casually.,The hints of that time.,I'm afraid it's really too much.,Aroused the other party's disgust.。
He knew that there was probably little chance of a relationship with the girl, but he told himself that everything might be remedied, after all, after that time, the girl would no longer draw a knife to cut him. It always makes up for everything. Let the other party really realize that they are good. Especially every time I see each other. This feeling came to my heart involuntarily, and after going around outside today, I finally found her, and came over to talk to her as an accident.
"You were ...... It doesn't have to be do-it-yourself. Why is this so bothered, and Uncle Qi ......"
As one of the figures close to the center of the Fang La system, although Lou Jingzhi did not hold an official position, he understood many things that others did not know. Qi Yuankang's relationship with the Liu family has always been very good, and this time Liu Watermelon personally took action, and I don't know how much struggle she has experienced in her heart. Lou Jingzhi sighed. It was quite a bit of vicissitudes, but after saying this, the girl looked at him strangely, and ate quietly, Ning Yi didn't know the grievances between the two, since the other party let him do it, he also started to eat by himself.
Lou Jingzhi smiled: "Since I entered the city for so long, I haven't had anything to do. Circling around the Hanlin Temple. I heard that you are ...... over there in the sword camp."
Meet friends. Gossip is commonplace, but before she finished speaking, the girl raised her head: "It's so late, isn't Brother Lou going back?" It's time for Uncle Minzhong to look for it. ..., her words have the appearance of ordinary ladies and gentlemen, Ning Yi saw this for the first time, and watched it quite interestingly. Lou Jingzhi looked at her for a long time. Only then did he sigh: "There is a family general around me, and it will be fine." Da Biao, although my martial arts are not very strong, I can also see that you seem to have suffered internal injuries. Uncle Qi's martial arts are amazing, you can't get out of it all right, I'm just kind. Just ......"
He tried to emphasize the simplicity of his meaning, but he also seemed sincere. Liu Dabiao seemed to be a little tired by his attitude, took a breath, and said again: "Let's go." ”
Lou Jingzhi sat there, looked down and thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Ning Yi. Of course, he would realize that if he left, only Ning Yi would be left here. Lou Jingzhi didn't take Ning Yi in his eyes before, in the Fang La military department, if there is someone who really has something to do with Liu Dabiao, in everyone's opinion, apart from him, there may only be Chen Fan, who has brute strength, no matter how good Ning Yi is, he can't be compared with Chen Fan after all. But at this time, he still couldn't help but think about this possibility, Ning Yi sighed a little, and arched his hand to show the attitude of his subordinates towards the lord.
At this time, Lou Jingzhi finally stood up, and after hesitating for a while, a guard came to his ear and said something, he glanced at the girl, sat down again, and this time his gaze was resolute: "No, you have been injured, don't go back to the Badao camp, what are you going to do here?" I don't know if there is any danger in the road, but if my father knows about the way, he will definitely not let me leave. ”
The girl looked at him this time, almost stunned, and after blinking her eyes, she said slowly: "Brother Lou, Mr. Ning is also here, I am discussing things with the people in the village, not alone, but ......" She was silent for a moment, "I am indeed waiting for someone, I originally hoped that they would not come......"
With a bang, a spear flew by the side, nailing one of the guards who had come with Lou Jingzhi to the wall.
This change suddenly arose, even Ning Yi was a little stunned, and the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the dark street, and in front of several guards, the tip of the spear that pierced out of the darkness burst out a little cold light, and the sound of breaking wind descended from above.
Ning Yi was still sitting, and turned out of the back for the first time, after all, his martial arts are not what they used to be, he has made a lot of progress, and this time he retreated quickly, in the field of vision, the girl was still sitting there, with a backhand blow, the fist wrapped in the sleeve hit a wooden pillar supporting the shed behind the side, and the canopy tilted violently, and Lou Jingzhi sat in it, still in a daze.
Landing and jumping, Ning Yi looked up, the figure descending from above carried the gun, fell into the pergola, and the sawdust in the sky flew like an explosion, and Liu Dabiao and dragged Lou Jingzhi rushed over, threw Lou Jingzhi beside Ning Yi, and then turned around to block the front, holding the long wooden box in front of his chest with both hands, looking like a lady holding a guzheng.
Blood shot from the street, and suddenly the spear stabbed the two guards to death, breaking the head and chest, and the man quickly retreated into the darkness after he got his hand, and only the rapidly moving silhouette could be seen. The figure that exploded the tent here sank into the flying sawdust, and then the tip of the spear was raised, and it slammed back in the opposite direction, while at the same time, someone rushed towards the rear of Ning Yi and the others.
There were only about three or four people coming, but a situation of encirclement was vaguely formed, Lou Jingzhi stood up against the wall, Ning Yi heard him say: "Soul Lance ......" He has been in Hangzhou for so long, but he has also heard the people in the Badao Battalion say that Qi Yuankang's family heirloom is called the Soul Lance, but since Qi Yuankang was beheaded by Liu Dabiao, the person who came was naturally not him. His mind was spinning, and he suddenly understood the reason why the girl was here.
I'm really ...... What a lot of fun, no wonder she let herself leave at the beginning, she didn't think .........about it at all like Lou Jingzhi, there were no more than six remaining guards, and they came to this side, and in the dark, a young man appeared, this person was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, tall, half covered in blood, and there were new blood marks on his face and hands. He was the assassin who had descended from the roof of the pergola earlier, and at this time he was holding a spear in his hand and looking at this side: "Liu Xigua, Lou Jingzhi, do you know what I'm here for." ”
Lou Jingzhi looked at him, obviously knowing: "Qi, Qi Xinyong, you ...... If you don't run away, why are you here? ”
"I didn't make a mistake, so why did I run away? Liu Watermelon, are you ready to die if you abandon everyone? ”
Under the faint moonlight, the wind blew the girl's skirt, she held the wooden box, but there was not much reaction, looked at the other party for a long time, and then said: "I originally hoped that you would not come today, if you can regroup and kill back one day, I will meet you with a sword." The matter of the Qi family is the result of everyone's gaining power, I don't know how to say that Lu Dao is right or wrong, but I am very sad to kill Uncle Qi. I want you to go, but you're going to take revenge...... I should give you that chance. ”
She took a breath and lowered her eyes: "A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes...... My father said, the rivers and lakes are over. Uncle Qi's business can be regarded as a matter of the world, and our business can be regarded as a matter of the rivers and lakes. A few brothers of the Qi family, I have never been in the rivers and lakes, but tonight I am willing to meet a few people with the strength of one person, I will not show mercy, you can kill me, I have nothing to say, if you can't kill it, please try to run for your life and ask for more blessings......"
