Chapter 176 Goodbye to the rainy night in Jiangdu (End Chapter 11)
Although there were scenes of war everywhere, Wu Ma's journey south to Jiangdu went smoothly, because after he advanced to the third level of awakening, there were few people in the world who could cause him insurmountable troubles.
What didn't go smoothly was the search for Yuwen Jianxue.
During the journey south, Wu Ma chose the most likely route for Yuwen Jianxue, visited every inn along the way, and kept asking if anyone had seen a man dressed in white, with a beautiful face, skin as good as snow, and an expression
A deserted young woman with the words "No strangers allowed" clearly written on her face.
Such characteristics are obvious enough. Unfortunately, no one has seen any of them.
This fruitless pursuit made the journey south extremely boring, and even the black coyote who was determined to go south with the dancing horse became silent.
Two people with no desire to talk, accompanied by a non-stop journey, a slightly cold rain, rushing for an agreement where the direction is clear but the goal is not clear, the opponent is clear but the friend is not clear, the place is clear but the time is not clear, in
We arrived in Jiangdu with eyes full of rain and mist, and amidst the vast mist.
At that time, Jiangdu was still full of singing and dancing. Yang Guang built more than a hundred exquisite villas in the palace, and placed a beautiful concubine in each villa. One of the villas served as host every day. Yang Guang took Xiao
The queen and her concubines took turns drinking and having fun in one of the other courtyards, staying up all night every day.
Outside the palace, under the guard of the elite troops of the Sui army, there were no rebels who escaped, and Jiangdu was still safe. However, the soldiers had been away from Guanzhong for too long, and the feeling of homesickness permeated every corner of the camp thickly and nervously.
With.
Every day when Wu Ma walks on the bluestone-paved streets of Jiangdu, he can feel the homesickness that comes from the military camp and from the inner world of every Guanzhong soldier. It is like clouds falling from the sky to the world, covered with gray and fog.
The shape floats slowly on the bluestone slab feebly and despondently, and feels like cotton when you step on it.
Wu Ma knows that if such homesickness brews, it will inevitably turn into a scourge that can swallow up Yang Guang, and this is the key to Yuwen Jianxue's revenge. Yuwen Jianxue does not need to be anxious or impulsive, he just needs to be patient enough and wait for the flood.
The moment the dam burst.
But Wu Ma couldn't find Yuwen Jianxue. During the few months he stayed in Jiangdu, Wu Ma searched every inch of Jiangdu, but he never found the woman with the words "Do not let strangers enter" written on her face.
Wu Ma once thought that Yu Wen Jianxue couldn't resist the urge for revenge, so he rashly broke into the palace and was caught and tied up. However, he sneaked into the palace and made several inquiries and searches, even in prison, but to no avail.
.
Wu Ma tried to write a few sincere letters, just like the one Yuwen Jianxue wrote to him when they went north to the grassland together.
The first letter reads:
[Jianxue, we have been separated for a long time. I heard from Liu Wenjing that you secretly went to Jiangdu. After hearing the news, I couldn't stay any longer. Remember, I promised to help you get revenge.
Even if I die and turn into a ghost, this agreement will still have a strong effect of being firmly implemented.
I took Heitulang all the way south to look for you. I asked many inns along the way, and they all said they had never seen anyone like you. When I arrived in Jiangdu, I searched everywhere, but there was no trace of you.
I left marks in many places that only the two of us can read - those are prepositions that you must be very familiar with. The two of us became familiar with each other in that place, and we have been tightly bound since then, right?
Getting back to the topic, I have only one purpose in writing this letter to you, which is to ask you to be calm and meet me first before planning revenge.
Inside the palace, there are many masters and the guards are tight. Yang Guang himself is one of the few martial arts masters in the world, and you cannot defeat him alone. But I have seen the celestial phenomena, and after some time, the Emperor Star will fall.
Zhao, that's the opportunity to take action. However, it's not as simple as you think. It requires careful planning based on the right time and place.
Anyway, please meet me as soon as possible.】
After the letter was written, the biggest problem was where to send it and how to let Yuwen Jianxue see it. If the recipient of the letter could not be found, he could only admire it alone.
Black Coyote sneered at Wu Ma's behavior of writing a letter, but Wu Ma seemed to have gotten some kind of clear secret message from the thick clouds and fog on Jiangdu's bluestone slab when he returned home, and firmly believed that Yuwen Jianxue could definitely read the letter he wrote.
.Even if it is sensed remotely from a certain corner of Jiangdu City.
So, during the long nights when he searched for Yuwen Jianxue in vain, he persisted in writing the letter.
Second letter:
[The rain in Jiangdu is really endless. I can’t bear it anymore. My body is wet all the time. Even sleeping feels like I’m soaked in wet cotton. It’s very uncomfortable. I also tried to use the fire to dry my clothes and bedding.
It was dry, but soon it became wet again.
I have no other solution. I don’t know how you solved this problem. If you have a good solution, please don’t keep it secret and reply as soon as possible.】
Third letter:
[You said it rains every day in Jiangdu, will it finally dry up the world one day? Then like a thirsty woman, there will be a drought for ten years. 】
Fourth letter:
[Black Coyote is looking at me more and more weirdly, probably because he cannot understand my insistence on writing these letters that cannot be sent or cannot be sent to the recipient. Please show up quickly.
Well, I don’t really want to be seen as a lunatic—even though I am indeed terminally ill.]
…
Seventh letter:
[Today, at the entrance of an alley not far from my home, I saw a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella. She was sad, hesitant, as sad and confused as a dream, walking lonely in the rainy alley of Jiangdu, her back was so beautiful.
,Like you.
Of course I rushed in front of her to ask questions. When I saw her face, although she was indeed beautiful, she was far behind you. If you compare her to the white flowers that grow due to rain on the roadside in Jiangnan, then you are
On the distant peak of Tianshan Mountain, the holy snow lotus blooms alone against the biting cold wind.
I praise you like this, but you still refuse to come out?】
…
Ninth letter:
[These days, I have seen all the beauties from the south of the Yangtze River who are said to be more beautiful than immortals, and are leisurely and elegant. Indeed, none of them are prettier than you. So, how did you, a jealous and noodle-eating girl from Guanzhong, become so beautiful? Please answer quickly.
I.】
…
Letter Thirteen:
[Today is extraordinary. I was still near my residence. When I came back from a day of searching, I saw a figure that looked very much like you on a corner. My heart shrank, all the pores in my body opened, and I immediately chased after him.
.
That figure was quite cunning. "She" could slip away very fast and turn nimbly. She was almost out of sight as she twisted and turned in the narrow alley. I had no choice but to use my awareness skills to catch up.
.
As a result, when I was about to chase him, I happened to bump into someone at a corner.
Guess who?
Black Coyote, if you ask him to mess with you like this, you will lose him.
This guy, Black Coyote, has done nothing to help me since I came to Jiang. It just adds to the chaos.
It turned out that he was worried about me and insisted on following me. I originally planned to let him stay for a few days, and after seeing that I was safe and well, I reassured him and sent him back to Li Hongyu to help. But he came to Jiangdu.
This guy most likely has his eye on a Jiangdu beauty and won't leave.
Oh, by the way, you know Li Hongyu. We get along well with Tang Gong’s third daughter. With her help, I will never be afraid of the second son of the Li family. Of course, I will never be afraid when there is no Li Hongyu.
Hongyu has a very good temper. I think if you two meet, you will definitely regret it. Thinking of this, I can’t wait to take you back to Guanzhong. What about you, do you want to see her? If so, come soon
Come to me.】
…
Letter 20:
[After staying in Jiangdu for a long time, I feel that I have gradually adapted to the humidity and continuous drizzle here, and I even feel a little contented.
I am no longer so eager to go out and look for you every day. Of course, this does not mean that I am no longer so eager to see you. But I know that no matter how eager I am, it will not be of much help in finding you.
I began to appreciate the rainy days and scenery in Jiangdu. Every day I held an umbrella, put on my oil boots, and walked in the rain on the streets of Jiangdu. The air was very moist and fresh, and everything looked like it had been washed by the rain.
It's just that these "oil boots" are stiff and not very comfortable.
Did you know that more than a thousand years later, people will wear all kinds of plastic or leather rain boots, which are beautiful, comfortable and great. Of course, you can’t see such a scene. What if?
If you want to know some clearer and more interesting details, I can tell you (don't ask me how I know it). But you have to sincerely ask me, just like I sincerely come to you. How about, get back to me quickly
.]
Letter twenty-five:
[Starting from today, I decided not to go out to look for you in the afternoon. I think you are most likely avoiding me. Otherwise, my reputation for being more handsome than Pan An has already spread throughout Jiangdu. How could you not?
I've heard of it, but why can't you find me? The only possibility is that you don't want to see me.
Then I'm too lazy to look for you. It's not easy to come to the Sui Dynasty, not to mention that this dynasty didn't have a few serious days. I have to seize the last time to enjoy something and remember something.
This afternoon, I asked Black Coyote to get me some tea, hollowed out a wall in the house I rented, and built a beautiful shed near the window. Brother Black Coyote and I drank tea.
Drink and admire it, how beautiful it is.
Do you want to be with us? If so, show up quickly. Alas, I feel like I won't be able to find you if you keep hiding.
By the way, the tea leaves these days are really rough and terrible. If I have the opportunity to take you to a thousand years in the future, I will definitely treat you to the best Jin Junmei, Tieguanyin, Oolong, Biluochun, Maojian, Longjing...
I won’t say it anymore, it makes me feel itchy.
In addition, I want to talk about Black Coyote. He seems to have become quite used to seeing me writing letters like this in a lunatic manner recently. He even urges me to write letters earlier every day and watches with great interest.
It is unethical to peek at other people's letters. However, the words I wrote for you are dignified and full of respect. You can read them if you want. However, copyright fees will be charged for reprinting.]
In this way, Wu Ma kept writing and wrote ninety letters in a row.
I wrote the ninetieth letter on a clear night. Because it involved a very important matter, the dancing horse drove away the black coyote, and I wrote alone:
[Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than five months since I came to Jiangdu, and there is still no news from you.
Things have become less peaceful in Ligong. Remember what I said to you when I left Jinyang a few months ago - if you want to take revenge, next April is your last chance.】
When the letter was written here, Wu Ma suddenly remembered that time, after he had said those words and left the yard of Yuwen Jianxue's house, Yuwen Jianxue's cold voice floated from the yard - "From now on, with you,
It's hard to see me when things are going well. I like to see you when you're unlucky."
Thinking of this, Wu Ma suddenly realized. It turned out that this was the reason why Yu Wen Jianxue avoided seeing Wu Ma. The process of Wu Ma's search these days was too smooth, but it was a pity that he woke up too late.
Perhaps, his success will soon come to an end.
Dancing Horse went on to write:
[Counting the time, it will soon be the day when Yang Guang is completely finished. I am very worried that before you can take action, Yang Guang’s head will be taken away by others. In that case, how regretful and regretful you will be for being so eager for revenge.
Depressed. I can't bear to see it.
Therefore, I plan to act alone.
It's up to me to take off Yang Guang's head and tell him why I want to kill him. Every injustice has its debtor, and his creditor is Yu Wenbi's daughter, a beautiful woman named Yuwen Jianxue.
I try to make him suffer as much as possible so that I can repay him for the pain he has caused you.
In fact, the greatest pain a person suffers from is the inner suffering he endures while alive. I think Yang Guang understands this deeply. In fact, he has already suffered enough retribution.
If I fail, or unfortunately die in the palace (which is very likely to happen), please don't go into this muddy water. Even I can't kill people, how can you.
But the tyrant will die violently sooner or later. This is the law of history and he cannot escape.
This is also the last letter I write to you. I don’t know if you can read it.
Sincerely my regards.]
It was already late at night when the moon was dim, and the clouds and rain that had lasted for many days rarely dispersed. After writing this letter and hiding it, Wu Ma put on his night clothes and sneaked away to the palace.
Not far away, Wu Ma's heart was lightly touched by an invisible finger without any warning. The soul of Qingxia, who had not appeared since arriving in Jiangdu City, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, tilting his head.
Said: "Go back quickly."
Dancing Horse immediately put on his cassock, turned around and went back, sneaking into his courtyard and sneaking out of the door of the house where he wrote the letter earlier.
Black Coyote was holding the letter he just read and reading it carefully.
Dancing horse's heart moved, and he immediately sneaked into the house, ducked to the side of Black Coyote, and hugged him. Before Black Coyote screamed, he found a small slit behind his ear, stretched out his hand to peel it, and heard a tearing sound.
It is indeed a human skin mask.
And behind the mask, the beautiful and panicked face was none other than Yuwen Jianxue.
Outside the window, the sky, which had not had a few clouds floating there, suddenly became dense with clouds, and soon it began to rain steadily, as if the night had taken a turn for the worse.
