South of Wuling, when the news of respecting Li Immortal Master and co-master reached Yanzhou, Zhao Yuqing was practicing swords.

Since Li Chen left, she has been practicing swords day and night.

She has a special physique and excellent talent, so when she cultivates, she naturally gets twice the result with half the effort. However, in just a few days, he has practiced the swordsmanship of "Ice and Snow" to the realm of Xiaocheng.

The people in the alliance were puzzled by this when they saw that she was a weak woman, rain or shine, practicing swords day and night. There are also some well-wishers who are worried that her body will not be able to bear it, and persuade her to pay attention to rest and not to be tired.

But for their kindness, Zhao Yuqing politely declined.

I have fallen behind so much, if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I will be thrown off by him and I won't even be able to see a shadow.

She didn't want to hold him back, there was nothing else she could do but work hard like Desperate Saburo.

The first sword!

Second sword!

The third sword!

……

Nine hundred and ninety-nine swords!

The thousandth sword!

When the first thousand swords were stabbed, Zhao Yuqing's arms were trembling with exhaustion. It's like there's a thousand pounds, and you can't lift it at all.

She was so tired and sweaty that she ran to the lotus pond panting and washed her face.

On the edge of the lotus pond, there are two red beans with bright flowers.

Zhao Yuqing picked up a withered red bean and put it on the palm of her hand, and was distracted for a long time.

Looking at the acacia in his hand, Zhao Yuqing suddenly felt an indescribable sourness in his heart.

Exquisite dice An red beans, do you know the lovesickness to the bones? [Note 1]

Actually, she knew very well in her heart that Li Chen liked the girl named Ye Chuxue, not her Zhao Yuqing.

He never had a love for himself between a man and a woman, only sympathy and pity.

But she was unwilling, unwilling to give up like this.

I have no mother, no father, and no home. If you just give up, you'll really have nothing.

Is it wrong for a person to want to pursue his own happiness?

When she was sleepless in the middle of the night, Zhao Yuqing asked herself more than once.

But she couldn't find an answer.

Before I knew it, two lines of tears had crossed my cheeks and dripped on the concrete floor.

"Yuqing, why are you crying?"

At this moment, a dreamlike voice came into Zhao Yuqing's ears.

Zhao Yuqing looked sideways, and a flash of surprise flashed in her bright eyes.

The person who came was none other than Li Chen.

When he came back from Lingnan, he came to see it when he passed through Yanzhou.

But who would have thought that the first picture I saw was a beautiful woman crying.

"Who messed with you, is it Qin Tianlong and them?"

Zhao Yuqing shook his head into a rattle and said, "No, the Qin family master treats me very well. ”

Li Chen asked with a blank face: "Then why are you crying?" ”

It's okay if he doesn't ask, this question can hook out all the grievances that Zhao Yuqing buried in his heart.

Suddenly, she had just stopped her tears, and she was already a pear blossom with rain, and she threw herself into Li Chen's arms.

Li Chen wanted to say two words of comfort, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say?

After crying for a long time, Zhao Yuqing stopped crying and said the first sentence with a squeak.

"I thought you forgot about me and stopped coming to see me!"

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this, smiled indifferently, and said, "What a stupid girl!" ”

Zhao Yuqing burst into tears and laughed, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, I'm just a stupid girl." ”

After speaking, she blushed again and added in a low voice: "It's your stupid girl!" ”

Suddenly, Li Chen saw that Zhao Yuqing had several blisters on his hands, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Yuqing, what's wrong with your hand?"

Zhao Yuqing was like being caught as a thief, so she quickly retracted her hand behind her back and squeaked, "No, it's okay." ”

Li Chen glanced at her and said, "You practice sword sharpening, right?" ”

Zhao Yuqing was like a primary school student who did something wrong, blushing and not speaking.

Li Chen commanded in the tone of a parent: "Give me your hand!" ”

Zhao Yuqing pouted, and stretched out her little hand a little reluctantly.

Li Chen blew lightly and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?" ”

Hearing Li Chen's concern, Zhao Yuqing's heart was as sweet as eating honey.

In exchange for such a sentence, she felt that her hard work in sword practice these days was worth it.

Li Chen took out a silver needle and said to Zhao Yuqing: "It may hurt a little, you bear with it!" ”

Zhao Yuqing's eyes smiled, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice.

Li Chen used a silver needle to carefully break the blisters on Zhao Yuqing's hands one by one, revealing crystal water.

After picking the last blister, Li Chen asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Zhao Yuqing shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt!" ”

Li Chen said: "It's good if it doesn't hurt, don't practice swords in the past two days, and don't touch the water for the time being!" ”

At this time, Zhao Yuqing is a good baby, what Li Chen says, that is, what he says.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Li Chen smiled slightly with a bit of pampering: "This is good!" ”

Zhao Yuqing blushed and asked in a low voice: "I want to go to Yandang Mountain to watch the sunrise, will you accompany me?" ”

Li Chen replied with a smile: "Okay! ”

That night, the breeze came slowly, and the moon and stars were scarce.

The bright moonlight was like a clear spring, pouring on Li Chen and Zhao Yuqing, reflecting their pair of beautiful people with a shining light.

Zhao Yuqing blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked up at the starry sky at a forty-five degree angle.

At this moment, he remembered the Northern Song Dynasty lyricist Qin Guan, as well as his popular song "Queqiao Immortal".

The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark.

As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world.

After midnight, it cooled down.

Zhao Yuqing's thin, delicate body began to tremble.

Li Chen took off his coat and draped it on Zhao Yuqing's shoulders, but she was still a little cold.

"It's rainy, it's windy on the mountain, and the temperature is low, let's go back!"

However, Zhao Yuqing, who has always been a good baby, is surprisingly stubborn this time.

"No, I want to see the sunrise!"

Li Chen was a little speechless and asked, "What's so beautiful about sunrise?" ”

Zhao Yuqing pouted, but she just didn't go back.

In fact, she is not interested in watching the sunrise, she just wants to cherish such an opportunity to be alone.

Li Chen couldn't do anything with Zhao Yuqing, so he said to her: "Give me your hand!" ”

Zhao Yuqing was stunned when she heard this, blinked her eyes, and asked, "What do you want my hand for?" ”

Even though she said that, she still stretched out her little hand.

Li Chen grabbed Zhao Yuqing's little hand, dragged her, and took her into his arms.

Before Zhao Yuqing could struggle, Li Chen gently bit her somewhat reddened earlobe.

"Wouldn't that be warmer?"

Zhao Yuqing's pretty face was red with shame, and the roots of her ears were even hotter. She was so ashamed that she couldn't say a word, but muttered twice in a voice as low as a mosquito.

The breeze blew, raising Zhao Yuqing's slightly messy sideburns, revealing a pink-carved face.

With two big watery eyes, a small nose, and a seductive flush on the cheeks, the whole person is like a red bean picked by Ren Jun, full of endless temptation.

Suddenly, I could hear a song in the distance, which said:

Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.

May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.

……

Note 1: From Wen Tingyun's "New Voice Willow Branch Words", one of the two southern lyrics. Red beans are acacia seeds, which were used by men and women in ancient times to flirt, oh no, the stuff of love.

The author doesn't like Wen Tingjun very much, but he likes this word very much. Especially "Exquisite dice An red beans, do you know the lovesickness to the bones?" These two sentences, writing about the love of men and women, are simply amazing.

Note 2: The final ballad is "Red Beans" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei.

The emotional drama is a bit difficult to write, and you need to grasp the thoughts of the hero and heroine, especially Zhao Yuqing. Zhao Yuqing's life experience is slightly complicated, not as simple as Ye Chuxue and Concubine Lin Xuan, so her mind is not easy to control.

A brief mention of Zhao Yuqing will help readers understand this character.

Her mind is delicate and sensitive. Her personality is also complex and occasionally contradictory. When she was a child, she had the experience of being abandoned, which caused her to feel insecure and longing for something, but she was worried about being ruthlessly abandoned again.
