140 What are rivers and lakes?
In summer, night always comes later than winter, and dark blue and light purple clouds float in the sky.
Along the way, Xiaoyaozi didn't speak, he was struggling with whether to tell Xiong Wei the task given to him by the hidden dragon.
When he was about to arrive at the Li Mansion, he finally figured it out. He decided to go back to Xiaoyao Villa with Xiong Wei, and then come out to do the things that Qianlong explained. It must be that the things that Qianlong explained are not something that can be done overnight, and there are some risks to complete.
He didn't want Xiong Wei to be involved in too many affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the palace dispute. That's fine!
Xiaoyaozi knows that if you want to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, it is not good to keep your hands covered with blood, especially as a killer, an excellent killer.
The killer always wants to kill others at the beginning, and then he is constantly being chased by others, and by the time he gets tired of everything, he doesn't want to kill others or be killed by others, it's too late.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will always encounter some despicable villains. No matter how good a Maxima is, there will be times when it stumbles, so it is better to be indifferent to fame and fortune from the beginning and live a peaceful life.
At that time, he just couldn't give up the word fame and fortune, so he fell deeper and deeper.
Xiaoyaozi knows very well why he did those things back then, and now that he thinks about it, it's really not cost-effective. If he were given a chance to choose again, he would definitely choose to live like Xiong Wei.
The word "carefree" is that I don't want to be bound by anything, but I have been bound by these messy things for half my life. Xiong Wei has suffered a lot, and it is rare to experience this day, and now that he has finally obtained these things, then it will be Xiong Wei.
Rivers and lakes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even if you return to the mountains and forests, the moment you step into the mountains and forests, this mountain forest will become rivers and lakes.
It's like himself, how many times have he retreated to the mountains and forests.
Once you step in, there is no turning back.
I don't talk about many things before this, just in the past few years, after assassinating the head of Wudang, I want to return to the mountains and forests, after assassinating the prince's mansion and saving Xiong Wei, I want to return to the mountains and forests, and now after this incident, I want to return to the mountains and forests.
However, he himself knows that he can no longer retire. Instead, he turned the mountains and forests into rivers and lakes.
A barren forest that should not belong to the rivers and lakes, the moment someone stepped in, it broke the silence that originally belonged to it. Xiaoyaozi no longer knows how many silent mountains and forests he has broken......
Now Xiong Wei is not only a person in the rivers and lakes, but also involved in the affairs of the court. Xiaoyaozi didn't want to ask about the court anymore. He knew that the door of the Forbidden City could not get out if he could get in.
The people on the outside don't know how luxurious it is inside, and they want to go in and see it, and those inside are also confused by the luxury inside, and once they wake up, they don't have a chance to come out again.
While Xiong Wei hasn't been involved too much now, he can still withdraw, and let him live his life peacefully like this.
Now that he has found the woman he likes, isn't this the life he wants to live?
Since he owed Xiong Wei before, the only way to make up for him now is to keep him away from right and wrong.
As for himself, he has long been trapped in the rivers and lakes, and no matter where he lives in seclusion in this life, he will not be able to clear himself.
He sighed deeply and saw that Xiong Wei and Ouyang Ying were still walking behind.
"You'er, did you really decide to retire from the rivers and lakes this time and never ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes from now on?" Xiaoyaozi asked again.
Xiong Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Master." ”
"Then you won't take revenge for the killing of Xiongjiazhuang?"
"Master, whether I am from Xiongjiazhuang or not, in fact, no one can say now. I can't say it myself. There is no evidence that I am from Xiongjiazhuang. Unless I go to Lord Yama and ask, the King of Yama himself tells me who I am. ”
Xiong Wei thought about it and said with a sigh, "I've been with Arashi since I was sensible. Before she died, only she knew that my name was Xiong Wei. However, she only told me that my name was Xiong Wei. Where am I from, how did I get to their house? I don't know at all. ”
"I've heard you say it before, Arashi. She's ......"
Xiong Qi pursed his lips and said, "Master, Lan and I were inexplicably captured by a team of men in black and taken to a mountain villa. I made several failed attempts to escape, and on my last escape, Arashi was killed by a stick. I looked at her corpse and I ......"
Xiong said, clenching his fists. Over the years, he had dreamed of Arashi's tragic death more than once. Each time he woke up from his dream. He wondered why he wanted to run away with Arashi, and why he was just a slave who didn't know anything at the time!
"Then why don't you go to the owner of this villa to take revenge?"
"Nine Roads Villa. ”
"What? Nine Paths Villa!" Xiaoyaozi was shocked.
"Master, do you know this villa?" Xiong Wei asked in surprise as he looked at Xiaoyaozi's expression.
Xiaoyaozi knew about this villa, and he fell into deep thought. If it was before, he would have told Xiong Wei, but now that Xiong Wei wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, then don't talk about these things anymore.
"I don't know. Xiaoyaozi diverted the subject.
"Master, I also want to go over and seek revenge on the owner of this villa. But I didn't know anything about this place. I don't even know how I got there. Xiong Wei said helplessly, "I was sold to the palace blindfolded." After walking for so many days, I don't know how many miles I have walked. ”
Hearing Xiong Wei say this, Xiaoyaozi felt even less guilty in his heart, he didn't know anyway. If there is a chance in the future, I will help him take revenge.
"Now that the matter is in the past, don't pursue it. Xiaoyaozi comforted Xiong Wei and said, "Let's keep walking, we will reach the Li Mansion in front." ”
As soon as Xiaoyaozi walked to the door of the Li Mansion, "Whoosh!" A dart flew in front of Xiaoyaozi and was inserted directly into the gate of the Li Mansion.
Xiaoyaozi knew the owner of the dart, and he went up to pull it off and removed the note from it.
Xiong Wei also came up and said, "Master, what is this? Didn't you say that darts are poisonous in general? Why aren't you afraid of poison this time?" ”
Xiaoyaozi didn't answer Xiong Wei's questions so much.
"Qi'er, you go and talk to Jianyuan first, and ask him to arrange a room for Ying'er. As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyaozi disappeared.
Xiaoyaozi returned to his room and opened the paper ball to see that it was written: The emperor will send Xiong Wei to inspect the disaster area with King Fu and assist him.
Xiaoyaozi looked at the note and crumpled it into a ball. According to his inference, Xiong Wei will be recruited into the palace tomorrow. As for how Xiong Wei should choose, it only depends on him.
He decided not to tell Xiong Wei the news in advance, and let him choose.
He sighed, "It's fate!"
It was already completely dark, and Xia Yun pushed open the window and saw the sky full of stars.
Xia Yun returned to Wei Zhongxian's mansion, but Wei Zhongxian was not there. Wei Zhongxian was the emperor's eunuch after all. Not often to come back.
She lay down on the bed. Wei Zhongxian trusted her so much, she didn't know how to tell Wei Zhongxian the fact that she was leaving him. Perhaps, they never thought she would rebel.
She tossed and turned, not knowing what to say.
Unconsciously fell into a state of stupor, and in her dreams, she dreamed of majestic mountains and gurgling water. She and Xiong Wei practiced swords on the cliff and drank tea in the bamboo forest......
"Young Master Yun, Young Master Yun!" the maid knocked softly on her door.
The maid's shouting interrupted her sweet dream, and she said coldly, "What's the matter?"
The maid replied softly: "The emperor has sent someone to summon you into the palace, and asked you to tell a prince surnamed Xiong to let him enter the palace with you." ”
"What, enter the palace, Xiong Gongzi!" Xia Yun, who was in a daze, immediately jumped up when she heard these words.
"Why did the emperor recruit him! No, do you want to catch Xiong Wei?" Xia Yun thought, "No, if you catch Xiong Wei, it won't be a eunuch to spread the word, it's a guard." ”
"Young Master Yun, my father-in-law urges you to hurry up, don't let the emperor wait. The maid was urging again.
Xia Yun had no choice but to go to the Li Mansion to find Xiong Wei, and the two entered the palace together.
Xiaoyaozi saw that Xiong Wei was brought into the palace by Xia Yun again, he stood at the door, with his hands behind his back, and said secretly in his heart: Child, what is your fate, you can control it yourself!
How big are the rivers and lakes? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
How deep is the palace......
