The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 193 Going to Luoyang
The wind wants to pull out the tree, and the rainstorm wants to tear down the house.

The sound of the wind blows the sea, and the rain falls on the axle.

If you dare to open the door, you can't blow a candle.

It's just that when the ditch creek rises, the momentum has already rolled into Pinglu.

——Excerpt from Lu You from "The Night of October 28th: ​​A Stormy Night"

……

Inside Jingren Palace, the chill was overwhelming.

After reading the report, Xuanzong was furious: "In broad daylight, someone dared to attack the generals of Huben! Li Xuexuan disappeared, and the rest were killed on the spot. Do you still have my Tang law in your eyes?"

Gao Lishi served him carefully, and said: "This matter is quite strange. Li Xuexuan and the accompanying Huben officers and men are all highly skilled in martial arts. Ordinary thieves are not opponents. How can they have the ability to kill people and steal goods? Besides, Li Xuexuan grew up in Bashu. The time in Chang'an is not long, so it should not be possible to provoke such a powerful enemy."

Xuanzong's long eyes flashed brightly, and said: "What do you mean?..."

Gao Lishi knelt down, did not dare to lift his head, and said: "Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Xuanzong pondered for a long time, but remained silent.Finally, he waved his hand and said in a waned mood, "Back off."

Seeing this, Gao Lishi sighed inwardly, and could only change the subject again.He crawled closer and played in a voice almost whispering: "Your Majesty, there is news from Huashan..."

When Xuanzong heard the words, he abandoned the eunuchs and court ladies, leaving only Gao Lishi alone.Then he asked, "Lishi, what's going on at Huashan?"

Gao Lishi said: "Heilong Daoist is flying pigeons to pass letters. A group of people disguised as a caravan went up to Canglong Ridge in an attempt to cut off the dragon's veins. Heilong Daoist's letter mentioned that there are many barbarians among these people. "Gao Lishi described the situation of the day in detail.

Murderous intent appeared in Xuanzong's eyes, and his words were cold: "Let the black dragon priest come to Chang'an, find out these people, and then execute Ling Chi, and exterminate the nine clans!"

Gao Lishi shuddered, and said: "The black dragon priest said that he can't leave yet."

As soon as Xuanzong raised his dragon head, his eyes were like torches, fixed on Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi said: "That person appeared again!"

……

The two of Bai Li had just passed Tongguan when they received the news that Taifu Xu had left Luoyang and arrived in Shanzhou to direct the flood fight.

Bai Fu asked, "Junior Sister Li, what are your plans?"

Li Xuexuan said: "Too much time wasted on the road, I plan to report to the White Horse Temple first, and wait for the imperial edict."

Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said: "The enemy's origin is unknown, and the hidden danger has not been eliminated. Going hastily, I'm afraid it will fall into the enemy's hands. I suggest to find someone to bring a letter to the abbot of the White Horse Temple to report that he is safe, and then follow me to see Taifu Xu. The Taifu has nothing but The court guards, as well as the masters of the Chuan Gang and the Tang Sect are secretly protecting them."

Li Xuexuan said with a smile: "Brother Fu, the higher your martial arts, the less courageous you are. I'm looking forward to two little thieves, just in time to try sword control!"

Bai Fu looked serious, and said: "Otherwise, this group of people is eerie and weird, not as simple as ordinary warriors. My master once said that the most terrifying thing in this world is not martial arts and armies, but the conspiracy of people's hearts. We don't know them at all. We don’t know their origins, but we don’t know their purpose. We are in the light, they are in the dark. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!”

Of course Li Xuexuan understood Bai Fu's intentions and was quite moved, saying: "Brother Fu, I used to think that you were rebellious and difficult to get close to, but I didn't expect you to be so careful. It's more like my master's evaluation of the head of Qingxuan: vigorous temperament Tall and straight, hovering like a stone."

Bai Fu was taken aback, and retorted: "Do I have it? I think you are cold and charming Sai Xue, and you are aloof. I didn't expect you to be dumbfounded. You are really naive."

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.At this moment, the ice melted and the snow melted, and the two seemed to have known each other for many years, and their hearts were connected.

Bai Li and the two galloped all the way, and within two days, they arrived in Shanzhou.After asking where Master Xu was, the two went straight to the government office.

Ding Shujian was already waiting at the door, and was secretly displeased when he saw Li Xuexuan.However, he has a lot of self-cultivation, and he didn't show it.

Walking into the main hall of the government office, Xu Taifu is directing all walks of life.He was overjoyed when he saw the two of them, and said, "It's just the right time for you to be employed. You go to rest first, and I will take you to the Yellow River embankment to have a look tomorrow morning. I am worried that it will rain heavily in the past two days, and the flood will overflow the embankment. "

After dinner, Ding Shujian and Bai Fu returned to the guest room.Ding Shujian's expression darkened, and he said, "Junior Brother Fu, Junior Sister Yang treats you sincerely, is it right for you to do this to her?"

Bai Fu was stunned, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Brother, you misunderstood, I and Li Shimei are just friends, there is no one else." After that, he told the story of his encounter with Li Xuexuan.

Ding Shujian calmed down after hearing this, and said, "Brother Fu, don't blame senior brother for nagging. Li Xuexuan is too beautiful to be a wife."

Bai Fu smiled and said, "I used to think the same way. After getting in touch, I changed a lot. Junior sister Li is a very simple person, not as arrogant and glamorous as she looks."

Ding Shujian snorted coldly, and said, "This is what I'm most worried about. I'm afraid that you will forget your righteousness and disappoint Junior Sister Yang."

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Brother, you are worrying too much. Junior Sister Li and I are friends in need. Although the relationship is good, this kind of relationship is just pure friendship, not love."

Ding Shujian dismissed it, and said: "Is there pure friendship between men and women? It's all an excuse! Brother Fu, you are the most important closed disciple of the sect head. Be careful playing with fire and setting yourself on fire. The gain outweighs the gain!"

Ding Shujian felt that as a senior brother, he had an obligation to help Bai Fu get back from the wrong way.The more he talked, the more he became more energetic, and the more he talked, the more he felt that he had grasped the truth, so he repeatedly told Bai Fu in his ear.

Bai Fu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said displeasedly: "Senior Brother Ding, I appreciate your concern, and I have also received your opinions. But emotional matters are my personal affairs, and I have my own decision on where to go." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

This night, Bai Fu felt depressed.Bai Fu was open-minded in his heart, neither did he feel sorry for Yang Yichan, nor did he hurt Li Xuexuan.But with Ding Shujian's description like this, it seems that he has become the most heartless person in the world.

The more Bai Fu thought about it, the more angry he became, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Bai Fu simply put on his clothes and got out of bed, pushed the door out, stood under the eaves, and took a deep breath to relieve his depression.

Tonight, it was very windy and rainy, with raindrops as big as copper coins hitting the banana leaves, crackling.Bai Fu's thoughts moved, and he had a bad premonition.

Suddenly, they heard horseshoes galloping outside the courtyard wall, and dozens of people shouted: "It's bad, the dam is about to break, everyone run away!"

Shocked, Bai Fu picked up an oil-paper umbrella, soared into the air, and jumped over the courtyard wall.Seeing a person riding a horse coming, Bai Fu pulled the rein and grabbed the horse.

Bai Fu grabbed the rider and asked, "What's going on?"

The man was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he replied, "Strong man, I just came down from the embankment. The river is rising too fast tonight, and the embankment is about to burst. You run away, or it will be too late." .”

Bai Fu was stunned for a moment, he didn't need to let go of the rein.

The man didn't repeat it twice, rode his horse and swung his whip, and ran away.

　The wind wants to pull out the tree, and the rainstorm wants to tear down the house.

　　The sound of the wind blows the sea, and the rain falls on the axle.

　　If you dare to open the door, you can't blow a candle.

　　It's just that when the ditch creek rises, the momentum has already rolled into Pinglu.

　　Work hard to stay in the wheat, and hope to be ripe next year.

　　When one is full, it is difficult, and when the five are poor, they chase each other.

　　The neighbors to the south are even more recognizable, the cloth quilt has not been redeemed in winter.

　　In the Ming Dynasty, when the retort was empty, the mother and child held each other and cried.
