Chapter 111: The Snow in June and the Trouble That Must Be Solved
On the night of the showdown with Li Shimin, the temperature dropped sharply. It was clearly the time of early summer, and there was a heavy snowfall in Jinyang City.
Yuwen Jianxue was reading a book in the room when she faintly heard the excited shouts of children coming from far away. She opened the door and a gust of cold wind blew in, making her shiver all over.
When I walked out the door, I was shocked. I saw large snowflakes falling from the night sky, flying and swaying.
Looking up, there are dense clouds in the sky, and there is a very long gap between the clouds, and the moon is swimming in the gap.
The moonlight casts a silvery white color on the edge of the clouds. Outside the silvery white are dark dense clouds, and sandwiched in the middle is the night sky where the moon walks.
In the long and narrow night sky, the area close to the moon appears a silvery yellow, and further away, the color gradually becomes darker, and the farther away it becomes, the darker the blue. The whole scene looks like a silver moon ship, parading on the Milky Way.
The moonlight shines down from the Milky Way, and its radiance reflects the snow, like jade and silver.
It also heats up the fiery red night lights in Jinyang City, dyeing the sky and the earth into the color of fire in the near distance, the silvery white of snow jade in the distance, and the gray-red night sky even further away, which is so beautiful that it looks like a fantasy.
.
Because Aye was beheaded in the snow, Yuwen Jianxue would think of the scene when Aye left every snowy day, which made her heart even more sad. Logically speaking, she has such experience and background.
On snowy days, you should stay at home and not go out. It is best to close the doors and windows tightly so that you cannot even see a single snowflake.
But Yuwen Jianxue had a very stubborn temper. She thought to herself that the snowier the day, the more she should go out. Not only should she walk in the snow, but she should also walk for several miles to let the heavy snow fall on her.
, the thicker it falls, the better. If you don’t have the courage to walk in the snow and yearn for revenge, you might as well put aside all your grudges earlier and live an ordinary life with A Niang and the others.
It was strange. The snowy moon tonight made her feel a little different and touching, and a little extra kind. She stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell on her hand, but she didn't feel the slightest bit cold, which made her completely unable to leave Aye.
They are related to that snowy day at that time.
Yuwen Jianxue looked around for a while, then returned to the house, put on a thick coat, put on a snow-white cloak, and walked out of the courtyard into the snowy night.
After walking for more than a hundred feet, I didn't see Li Shimin again. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. I looked back at my courtyard and thought that since I was done with Li Shimin, I still occupied the courtyard he gave me. Wouldn't it be shameful?
It's gone. I'll clear the yard tomorrow.
Yuwen Jianxue stepped on layers of silver and walked to the outskirts while thinking about things.
Because it is far away from the lights of the city, this area is whiter and the moonlight is purer.
Arriving at a pond, Yuwen Jianxue saw a familiar yet lonely figure standing upright, watching the snowflakes fall into the pond.
Yuwen Jianxue quickly recognized that the person was Wu Ma, and subconsciously wanted to walk over and say hello.
After walking two or three steps, I suddenly froze for a moment, thinking that I didn't like meeting acquaintances in the snow the most, so why would I want to get together with them?
With this thought in mind, the person still walked forward and asked, "Why are you here?"
Dancing Horse turned around, the surprise on his face flashed across his face, and he replied after a while:
"I forgot too."
As he said that, he looked around and said, "Oh, it's snowing."
"Well, it snows in June," Yuwen Jianxue said, "It's very strange."
Wu Ma raised his head and looked up, "There should be cold air at high altitude, and the airflow has brought the cumulonimbus clouds with snowflakes to the ground."
"Accumulating... rain clouds?" Yuwen Jianxue looked at him blankly.
"Take a walk with me?"
"Oh." Yuwen Jianxue opened his mouth and agreed. When he came back to his senses, he remembered that he had just told someone today that on a snowy day, he just wanted to be alone for a while and walk for a while... Okay, let's go, Li family
Erlang probably wouldn't go out to walk in the snow in the middle of the night. To say the least, what would happen even if he met him.
The two of them walked together for a long time without saying a word.
Yuwen Jianxue couldn't help but ask: "Where are we two going?"
"There must be a destination."
"You can't go to the Turkic camp."
"Just go like this, wherever you go."
Yuwen Jianxue really followed the dancing horse, walking aimlessly, and once again fell into a long silence.
"Aren't you going to talk to me about something?" Yuwen Jianxue said.
"Look, the snow is so beautiful. It would be nice to just take a walk like this."
"Just walking without talking is like drinking without eating. Sooner or later you have to lie down."
"This analogy is quite interesting."
After that, I was speechless again.
"The second son of the Li family proposed to me today." By some strange coincidence, this sentence came out of Yuwen Jianxue's mouth. After saying this, she regretted why she hadn't mentioned it. Then she thought again, she
He and Dancing Horse are friends, and friends can talk about everything.
Thinking of this, I looked at Wu Ma with a little anxiety, wanting to see his reaction.
After hearing these words, Wu Ma finally recovered from his trance and looked at her, "You agreed?"
"Um."
"What do you think?" Wu Ma stopped. A ray of light shot out from his eyes, covering Yuwen Jianxue.
For some reason, Yuwen Jianxue's heart started beating so fast that she couldn't hold it down.
"Of course I have to agree... Erlang is such a talented person. My wife said that after passing this village, there will be no more shops like this."
"Didn't you swear that if you don't avenge family feud, why get married?"
"You can give the betrothal gift first. The second son of the Li family has become my fiancé, so it makes more sense to help me avenge him. It won't be too late to get married after we kill Yang Guang."
"I can also help you get revenge."
"You can help, as a friend."
Wu Ma was silent for a moment, "The second man of the Li family already has a wife."
"Given my family's situation, it would be a blessing to be able to get married to Mr. Tang."
Dancing Horse looked at her for a long time, then walked forward without hesitation. The snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, and he left deep footprints.
"Erlang of the Li family is very good, and it would be very good for you to marry him."
After hearing this, Yuwen Jianxue's chest felt inexplicably tight, as if someone had wrapped their body around her chest and strangled her hard.
"What a good idea."
"I know how to read faces. Erlang of the Li family has a bright future. He has the appearance of an emperor. You are very lucky."
It turned out to be a joke. Yuwen Jianxue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hey, if you can, then look at me and see if I have the appearance of an emperor and empress."
"No." Wu Ma said without looking back.
Yuwen Jianxue suddenly felt that it was very interesting, burst out laughing, and chased the dancing horse, "Can you show me the face..." "Really want to see it?" "That's natural." "Well... you are like that.
She looks very good, but she has a bit of a scheming appearance... My future husband must be tough, very tough."
"...
... Mr. Dancer... Actually, I can also read faces, so I'll show you." "Oh, look." "I'm sure you will die suddenly here today."
Yu Wen Jianxue became so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at Wu Ma. Wu Ma sidestepped and ran away quickly. Yu Wen Jianxue chased after him and slashed at him with a flurry of moves behind him.
The dancing horse didn't really want to run away, and Yuwen Jianxue didn't really cut it. The two of them were just fighting and laughing, and they didn't know where they were. The dancing horse threw away the unpleasant memories of the apocalypse, and Yuwen Jianxue
Li Shimin got rid of the worries of proposing marriage. The snow also brought long-lost relaxation and joy to the two lonely people.
And Yuwen Jianxue, also in the dance of sword after sword, in the fight of chasing each other, suddenly realized that she didn't really hate meeting acquaintances on snowy days.
I don't know how long the chase lasted, but suddenly I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and a man and a horse galloped over from far away. Only when I got closer did I realize that the man on the horse was Li Shimin.
Li Shimin came on horseback and bowed his hands to the two of them, "You two..."
"Come out for a walk." Wu Ma said.
"I'm going to Nancheng on official business," Li Shimin said with a smile, "Then I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he handed over his hand again, and a lone rider, covered in the cold moonlight, ran straight towards the south city gate where the dancing horse had fled in embarrassment.
Yuwen Jianxue looked at his resolute departure, and thought of that cold hand again, which even made her shiver. She felt cold and goosebumps all over her body. Suddenly, she recalled the night attack on the Turkic camp.
On that day, when Dancing Horse rescued her, he also held her hand. Those hands were so warm.
"I guess you didn't agree." Wu Ma suddenly said.
Nothing more to say all night.
…
After the snowy night, Wu Ma seemed to have regained his energy and strength and devoted himself to the study of the illustrated book again. But soon, he encountered a new problem and the knife hanging above his head began to move again.
This knife is Tian Deping's curse. When it strikes, it's like a pair of big hands strangling the dancing horse's throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Something must have happened to Qingxia. Wu Ma guessed.
After the night attack on the Turks, Qingxia never appeared again. Due to the cursed relationship between the two, Wu Ma could vaguely sense it. The day after the night attack, Qingxia left the Turk camp and went to
It went north, getting farther and farther, until it could no longer be detected. Later, the Jinyang army captured some Turkic prisoners, Wu Ma got news from a Turkic non-commissioned officer, and Qingxia returned to the grassland.
Wu Ma's original thought was that as long as Qingxia left her, everything about her would have nothing to do with her. Whether she lived or died, it was all her own life. But now it seems that it is not that simple.
Due to the frequent occurrences of curses in the past few days, Wu Ma once again recalled Tian Deping's original words about the curse in the secret room of the Juncheng Mansion.
"If the one I love cannot be resurrected from the dead, or dies because of this person, I pray that you will break his body, break his bones, and let him suffer the pain of the world... and suffer the pain of refining his soul forever!"
Wu Ma suddenly discovered that Tian Deping dug a big hole for himself and died because of it. This sentence was not as simple as he thought.
Let’s take the matter of Qingxia going north to the grassland. Why she went to the grassland was because Wu Ma planned to force her out of Jinyang City, so she became involved with Wu Ma. From now on, if Qingxia goes to the grassland
The danger he encountered was due to the dancing horse forcing him to the grassland. If Qingxia died on the grassland, it would be a coincidence with Tian Deping's death, and the curse would come true.
Tian Deping really... cast a curse, which means that Wu Ma will be given to Qingxia as a bodyguard. The most important thing is that if Qingxia wants to kill Wu Ma, Wu Ma has no temper at all.
Wu Ma thought about it for a while and decided that it was not an option for him to just stare at Jinyang City. He must find a way to completely resolve this trouble.
