This late Ming Dynasty is outrageous

Chapter 261 18: Dao Baifeng recalls the old things on a rainy night

Dali, Yuxu Guan.

On the willow tree, Duan Yanqing's eyes were quiet.

Since Duan Yanqing left Xixia Yipintang that day, thinking that there is only one of his four brothers left, he is quite lonely.

All four of them are thieves who do many evils.They also talk about loyalty on weekdays, it can be said that they are congenial, even if they are not as good as brothers, the feelings are not generally sincere.

Duan Yanqing saw Ye Erniang and others die under the fists of Cao Kun. He originally wanted to escape and seek revenge, but he heard Cao Kun said that he could fulfill his wish.At that time, he was not an opponent at all, and Duan Yanqing was just deceiving himself and others when he said that he could fulfill his wish.Now that he has left Xixia, his desire to seek death has become much calmer.

Not to mention, these days he has been inquiring about the news of the Vulture Palace, only to find that although the Vulture Palace is not well-known, it is powerful and quite mysterious.With the help of Vulture Palace, he may not be unable to achieve his wish and dream.

Da da da……

There was the sound of hoofs.

Duan Yanqing's eyes froze for a moment, and then he moved away from the graceful figure of the woman in robes in the yard, and from the corner of his eye, he lingered greedily on the jade buttocks that had become rounder due to bending over to water the flowers, and then turned his head to look at to the distant pipeline.

But I saw a fast horse approaching quickly on the pipeline in the middle of the green shade.The knight on horseback was wearing a long robe with a judge's pen on his back, and looked like a scholar.But at this moment, his face was full of murderous intent, his eyes were blood red, and the sleeves of his robe were rolled up high, revealing his strong arms. No matter how he looked at him, he was a reckless man.

The dust was flying, the hair was messy, and the hot sweat flowed down, and the knight became ashamed.

Duan Yanqing squinted his eyes, his hands holding the cane couldn't help tightening.

But seeing the knight arrived at the gate of Yuxu Temple, he jumped up immediately, and before he landed, he shouted: "Princess..."

In the small courtyard, the woman in a Taoist robe who was bending over to water the flowers shuddered when she heard the words, and her round buttocks also trembled.Then she put down the water ladle and stood up, wiped the sweat off her cheeks with the back of her hand, and looked at the door with cold eyes.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open.

The knight strode into it anxiously, and clasped his fists from a distance and said, "My lord, is the prince here?"

Dao Baifeng's voice was cold, and his face was expressionless: "I don't have any flattering beauties here, nor are there any curvaceous beauties. There is only a gymnasium, which is cold and unpopular. Prince Duan is a good man in the world, how could he come here?" I'm here?"

Zhu Danchen's face froze immediately, and he said with a sneering smile: "The princess is joking, the empress is a peerless beauty, so why should she belittle herself. I have something important to report, and the prince has disappeared since I went to Xiaojing Lake a month ago. Now that a month has passed, My four brothers have searched all over the cities, but still haven't found news of the prince."

Dao Baifeng just sneered: "Could it be that he is lingering on the bedside of some lady, you don't have to worry, he will come back when he gets tired of playing."

Zhu Danchen knew that Dao Baifeng was full of resentment in his heart, so he didn't complain immediately, but just persuaded dumbfounded: "The prince really hasn't been here?"

Dao Baifeng remained silent with a cold face.

Zhu Danchen sighed, his eyes became worried: "My lord, this matter is very unusual. Even if the lord is looking for some kind of beauty... ahem, close friends, he will usually notify the four of us. But this time the lord disappeared without a sound. Mrs. Ruan from Xiaojinghu also got up with no news."

Dao Baifeng's eyes moved: "You said something happened to him?"

Her eyeballs rolled, as if she suddenly thought of something, she was startled and angry but also a little happy, her cheeks were even more rosy.

Zhu Danchen looked at it strangely, squinted his eyes and asked, "What can your empress tell my subordinates?"

Dao Baifeng's face straightened: "You go and inform the emperor, let the emperor take someone to find the Mandala Villa and Kang Min from the Beggar Gang to ask what happened, and the Dali's Gan Baobao and Qing Hongmian also asked about it. .”

"Madam, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Gan's mother and daughter have also been to Xiaojing Lake, but they have not met the prince. Now the two ladies and young ladies are looking everywhere. As for the Mandala Villa, we have also gone, but there is still no prince. His figure. The subordinates had no choice but to come back and ask to see if the prince has returned."

Dao Baifeng's eyes moved: "He didn't come to my place, you can go back to the imperial city and ask."

Hearing this, Zhu Danchen nodded and retreated, and closed the wooden door with both hands.

Dao Baifeng stared at the wooden door in a daze, his eyes were mixed with surprise and anger, and also a little secretly happy.She turned around suddenly and went back to the house, but when she ran to the door, she blushed and touched the closed door again, bit her lip and didn't know what to think, and let out a long pooh.

"That little thief, do you really care about me so much?"

"But I'm already this age, and he can't find any kind of girl, so why not forget me as an old woman."

"Is it because everyone puts him first..."

Dao Baifeng blushed and bit her lip, holding the pull ring on the door with her jade hand and muttering to herself.Thinking of that rainy night many years ago, when I ran out of the imperial city angrily on horseback, the little kid I picked up on the side of the road.

That child is not young at all.

Maybe it was out of breath, but when he put the other party on the horse back, Dao Baifeng was full of evil thoughts and killed a young man.

"It rained heavily that day, and I pulled the door knocker like this."

Dao Baifeng held the door knocker with both hands, blushing, pushed the door open with jade hands, then pulled it back again, the wooden door creaked, clicked, opened and closed.

She bit her lip and lowered her head, then hurriedly opened the door and walked in: "I'm going to die, what are you still thinking about after so many years?"

"It's just that I was sorry for him at the time and tricked him into doing something wrong. Hey, did he take those words seriously, and now that he has learned martial arts, he wants to help me vent my anger and imprison Duan Zhengchun?"

Dao Baifeng pushed open the door and walked into the room, sitting on the bed in a daze.

On the willow tree outside the yard, Duan Yanqing was staring at the wooden door in amazement. Just now, Dao Baifeng pulled the door knocker of the main room and pushed it open, which made Duan Yanqing always feel inexplicable.

"Could it be that this woman has gone crazy because she lives alone all year round? It's really strange what the surnamed Cao wants this crazy woman to do."

Duan Yanqing didn't understand what he meant, but Dao Baifeng in the room sat on the bed and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes became firm: "No, the Duan family has many masters. I need to find him and prevent him from doing stupid things, otherwise he will be killed sooner or later." Found by Mrs. Duan, his head is in a different place."

"In the end, I was sorry for him, and said vicious things back then. Hey, I have exchanged letters occasionally in these years, but I always didn't give him a good face."

"According to the time, he is a man in his 20s, yet he is not even married. Could it be that I was heartbroken?"

Dao Baifeng blamed himself with eyes: "Dao Baifeng, Dao Baifeng, you are really guilty."

She couldn't help but think of the scene of coaxing the other party by herself on that rainy night, feeling guilty and strange in her heart.But he got up in an instant and packed up his bags in a panic.

At this moment, there was a loud click.

Dao Baifeng looked back in horror, only to see an extremely ugly face breaking through the window.Her pupils shrank, and she suddenly thought of another rainy night, and immediately screamed in horror: "You..."

Duan Yanqing's face was expressionless, the crutch touched Dao Baifeng's acupoints a little bit, Dao Baifeng froze in place, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, only the eyeballs turned around in disgust and anger.

Duan Yanqing walked up to Dao Baifeng's side, looked up and down with his eyes, only to see that although Dao Baifeng was old, he was graceful and graceful.Especially at the moment when the acupuncture points were tapped with his mouth open, the saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth, so tempting.

Duan Yanqing's throat twitched, he felt his heart burning, secretly thought she was such a beautiful woman, even he couldn't help falling in love with her.It's just that no matter how beautiful a lady is, how can she lower her ambitions?

He lifted up the quilt with his crutches and swung it, immediately wrapped Dao Baifeng up, then pushed open the door with his shoulders and walked out.

Half an hour later, Zhu Danchen rushed over with his men, and when he saw the broken window, his expression changed wildly: "Princess."

He rushed into the house, but saw that the clothes were scattered all over the place, and the bedding disappeared.

But a carriage creaked slowly on the pipeline, and the old man who drove the carriage looked quite leisurely wearing a bamboo hat.I don't know how many days and nights passed, and the carriage didn't stop except for rest.A few fast horses galloped past that day, and the old man lowered his head.

But on the fast horse, a young and beautiful girl hugged a petite beautiful woman with a proud face, and the petite beautiful woman sat on the horse's back with a blushing face and helpless face: "Ah Zi, you have already grown up!" It’s a big boy, don’t be greedy.”

Ah Zi pouted: "I haven't had breast milk since I was a child. Do you know how hard I have been these years? My cruel old lady doesn't want me. If I find her, I will definitely lock her in the dungeon and starve her well." Only a few days."

A Ruan's face darkened when he heard this, and he lowered his head guiltily, "I'll do everything to you, you just... don't be greedy. Besides, there's no water right now."

But after thinking about it, she thought that Ah Zi probably just wanted to experience this feeling of being loved.

Thinking of this, Ah Ruan felt even more guilty, his eyes were red, and a drop of crystal tear fell down the back of Ah Zi's hand.

Ah Zi saw it, and was quite happy: It really is easy to bully, and she doesn't know how to resist. If I knew it was so fun, I shouldn't have given it to Brother Kun.

"Ah Zi, do you want to eat candied haws?"

"want."

"Ah Zi, this sugarcane is pretty good, I peeled it for you."

"Ah Zi, look at this rouge, doesn't it suit you well?"

When the group arrived at the market, they were not in a hurry.Ah Ruan took Ah Zi's jade hand and started to stroll around the street. Whenever she saw something delicious and interesting, she would buy it for Ah Zi to taste.

AhZi also enjoys it happily, her cheeks are bulging, and she is quite happy to eat.

"This madam is very lucky. Your lady is really a country and a city. If it is matched with our rouge, I don't know how many gentlemen I will win."

Hearing what the peddler said, Ah Ruan peeked at Ah Zi happily and worriedly.Seeing that A'Zi only cared about eating and didn't refute anything at all, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth as if she had taken advantage of it.

"I want it all."

Ah Ruan packed the rouge with a big wave of his hand.

Not for anything else, just because this mother-in-law speaks nicely and has eyesight.

"Oh, Ma'am is really grand. My girl, I still don't thank your mother."

Ah Ruan was both happy and nervous. Although the hawker said she was very happy, she thought about her identity and Ah Zi didn't know.She was quite worried that Ah Zi would be upset, so she hurried to stop her.

But she didn't want to, Ah Zi ate something vaguely and said, "Thank you, mother."

For a moment, Ah Ruan was stunned, staring blankly at Ah Zi, his eyes were red: "Ah Zi, what did you call me?"

Ah Zi chuckled: "Mother."

"you……"

"Why are you crying?" Ah Zi put her arms around Ah Ruan's shoulders: "Hey, do you feel sad because you think that you are old and don't have children yet? Don't be sad, when you are outside or in private, You are my mother."

Ah Ruan was inexplicably excited, although he was a little sad and did not really recognize each other.But when she heard Ah Zi's mother, she was still extremely happy, and felt that it was worth dying at this time.

Ah Ruan grabbed Ah Zi's hand vigorously with his backhand, and said excitedly: "Okay, mother will listen to you, good boy."

Ah Zi squinted her eyes and giggled: It's so exciting.

After packing the rouge, Ah Ruan became happier, and became more caring and attentive to Ah Zi.

A group of people walked into the restaurant, Ah Ruan hurriedly bent down to help Ah Zi wipe the seat, and then pulled Ah Zi to sit beside her.She propped her chin up and tilted her head to look at Ah Zi, the more she watched, the happier she became.

Ah Zi crossed Erlang's legs and shook her little feet.

Ah Ruan slapped Ah Zi on the knee angrily: "What does it look like, the girl's family is quieter, you won't be able to get married."

"I don't want to marry." Ah Zi rolled her eyes annoyedly, but she still lowered her legs: "What's so good about being married, brother Kun always wants me to marry him, but I just don't agree."

"Yes, yes, but you can't agree."

A Ruan was taken aback, and quickly squeezed A Zi's jade hand: "It's right not to marry, from now on we'll run around and won't go back to Vulture Palace, look how fun it is outside."

Ah Ruan cursed furiously in her heart: Damn Cao Kun, you really have bad intentions, I must let Ah Zi escape from the tiger's mouth, and protect my Ah Zi.

She was terrified, that Vulture Palace cannibalize people without spitting out bones, that Cao Kun is a bit more debauched than the emperor, she must protect Ah Zi well, and she must not let Ah Zi suffer.

Ah Zi complained: "Brother Kun is too ruthless and has too many rules. I want to come up with it, but I can't beat him. But this time, Brother Kun promised me that as long as I do this well, I will let me play around. , don’t restrain me any more.”

Speaking of this, Ah Zi's eyes turned fierce: "Ah Ruan, you will listen to my orders later, the sisters have already found out the whereabouts of those people, you approach them and let them go up the mountain on their own initiative, so that I don't have to go back."

A Ruan's eyes moved: "Is there really no need to go back?"

"Of course, Brother Kun promised me. I want to choose a place, buy a big house, and live by myself." Ah Zi was full of longing, and then I will find a group of little maids, hehehe... Let's see whose daughter-in-law is good-looking , hehehe...

Brother Kun said when he was a child: follow the path of others, so that others have nowhere to go.Isn't one's whole life just to eat, drink and have fun, and to find more beautiful girls?

I, Ah Zi, must have fun for the rest of my life.

Ruan Xingzhu didn't know the great ideal in Ah Zi's heart, she was silent for a while and said with firm eyes: "Eat quickly, we will do things after eating, and then mother will accompany you to play everywhere, as long as you are happy."

If Ah Zi doesn't go back to the Vulture Palace and has her company every day, there will be a day when they will truly recognize each other.

As for Duan Lang...

Surely he will understand himself.

After dinner, AhZi didn't hurry, instead she opened her room to rest for three days.

Three days later, the group set off again.

Somewhere in a small town, Ah Ruan stood on the second floor of the inn and looked down the street, but saw that the roadside stalls were overcrowded. One of the tables sat four women, one of whom was wearing a black veil, and the other two were older but frowning. Wrinkled and quite tired.

Ah Ruan's heart tightened, she recognized the identities of these people, and her expression changed immediately: "Ah Zi, are they the ones we want to deal with?"

AhZi nodded repeatedly while eating the fruit: "Yes, I've found out about these people. They were all abandoned by men, and they still don't know how to repent. It's really embarrassing for us women."

Ah Ruan: "???"

Azi's face was full of righteousness: "I want to save them and take them up the mountain. We women should respect and love ourselves, how can we risk our lives for a man."

Ah Ruan said with a dark face and speechless: "Young Palace Master is also playing tricks..."

"Brother Kun is sincere to all of us." Ah Zi frowned, pointed at Ah Ruan and said, "Your thinking is wrong, you must love yourself, especially women. We must be brave enough to pursue what we want the most. It's every woman's right."

"Don't be happy just because of a man's sweet words, and you are willing to be cheated. Think about those men who say good things, isn't it just for your body? They don't care about it."

"Brother Kun has never lied to others with sweet words, has he ever lied to you?"

The corner of Ah Ruan's mouth twitched.

He will use force.

Ah Ruan felt that Ah Zi's thinking was very wrong, and persuaded him: "Ah Zi, although you said that you are reasonable, but the Young Palace Master is surrounded by countless beauties, this..."

Ah Zi sighed: "You still don't understand, we women should take the initiative to seek happiness the most, and we can't be led by the nose by men."

"When we encounter high-quality resources, everyone fights fiercely. If you don't grab them, you will be snatched away by others. Therefore, we have to take the initiative to grab them."

"You have to work hard. When you defeat the other people in the Vulture Palace, Brother Kun will be yours alone? If you don't work hard and are defeated by others, then no one will sympathize with you."

Ah Ruan was dumbfounded, always felt that what Ah Zi said made sense, but felt something was wrong.

AhZi's face was full of determination: "Look at me, I am working hard to get the life I want. After I do this, I will be free. Therefore, we women must go forward bravely and take the initiative to fight for it. Only in this way can we get What I want. Your idea of ​​marrying a man and clinging to a man is not right. "

Ah Ruan: "???"

She was a little dizzy and always felt that something was wrong, but what Ah Zi said made sense.If we women all take the initiative to pursue what we want the most, and defeat our opponents... oh, it would be very passionate to think about it.

Doesn't it have to sit and wait to be pursued by a man to choose and stimulate?
This is our active choice.

For a moment, Ah Ruan's head was dizzy.

Ah Zi said: "Go and get in touch with them, and then guide them to Vulture Palace. After doing this, I, Ah Zi, can run around."

A Ruan turned to look at Qin Hongmian and the four drinking soy milk on the street, Duan Lang's lover on one side and A Zi on the other.She nodded almost without thinking: "Okay, I'll go there now."

As long as Ah Zi can escape from the devil's grasp, she feels that everything she does is worth it.

Moreover, AhZi did the right thing, as a woman, one should take the initiative to pursue what one wants most.

If Qin Hongmian and the others were tied up in the Vulture Palace, when Duan Lang was out of trouble, he would bring Ah Zi to meet him.

When Ah Ruan thought about the bright future, his heart suddenly became excited, and he felt that what Ah Zi said was very reasonable.

Women, happiness is really something that is actively fought for.

Ah Ruan thought for a while, changed into a suit of clothes, and then went downstairs directly.

She walked along the street, looking around anxiously.

On the side of the road, Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, who were drinking soy milk, saw A Ruan like this, and the two girls immediately looked at each other and changed their expressions.

"Senior sister, it's that bitch Ruan Xingzhu."

Qin Hongmian narrowed her eyes: "I'm not blind, so I still need you to remind me. It's better to kill her and solve one by one."

Gan Baobao was dumbfounded: "Now that Duan Lang's whereabouts are unknown, what's the use of fighting over it? Why don't we call her and ask her to see what she says. If you still treat me rudely, it won't be too late to kill her."

Qin Hongmian thought about it too, since there are no more men, it's meaningless to kill them again.She silently picked up the soy milk and put it to her mouth, rolled her tongue, then nodded and put down the porcelain bowl, stood up holding the sword and shouted: "Ruan Xingzhu..."

A Ruan was looking around anxiously, when he heard this voice suddenly, his expression changed vigilantly and he turned his head: "It's you, Qin Hongmian?" Back away, then turn around and run.

Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao looked at each other and hurried to catch up.

"Sister Mu, what shall we do?" Zhong Ling leaned on the table with her chin in her hands: "Where did this cheap old man go? My legs have grown thick from running every day, hey, I don't know if Cao Daxia likes thick legs. "

Mu Wanqing gave Zhong Ling a cold look: "What's wrong with you, you can't get married, or what? What's so good about a man, have you forgotten how much our mother has suffered?"

Zhong Ling wept with a sad face: "But Cao Daxia looks so good-looking."

Mu Wanqing: "..."

Zhong Ling pouted: "Sooner or later we are going to get married. No matter how good you say, we are going to find a husband. You and I have no control over these things. Besides, I don't know if a man is good or not, but if he is not , can my mother and your mother find a man so crazy? I think there must be something happy."

Under Mu Wanqing's veil, her face was blushing, but she was not as innocent as Zhong Ling.Because of this, Mu Wanqing couldn't bear the words of tiger and wolf at all.She slapped the table angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up, mother and the others are too far away to see."

Zhong Ling's face collapsed again: "Oh, I have to run again, my little feet are covered with calluses."

Mu Wanqing didn't bother to pay attention to her, grabbed her shoulders and jumped on the horse, and rushed away from the crowd, causing chaos on the street in an instant.
