Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 363
"It's easy to say, easy to say!" For Jin Renwen's entrustment, Wang Wenzuo agreed without any psychological pressure-anyone who is not blind can see that Li Zhihou's treatment of Jin Renwen is a dark move against Silla, even if he does not Considering the private friendship between the two, Datang will also send troops to help Jin Renwen ascend the Silla throne in the future.Not to mention that in Wang Wenzuo's future economic and strategic plan for Northeast Asia, Silla is also a very important pawn. Jin Renwen's identity and talent have determined that he is the best candidate for the throne.

"By the way, I went to the palace today and heard something!" Jin Renwen poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Wang Wenzuo: "Do you remember Li Sujie? It was the night when we met the prince on New Year's Eve." The elder brother of the two princesses! He is dead!"

"Dead?" Wang Wenzuo took the wine glass, took a sip, and suppressed his panic: "How did he die? Is it related to the riots a few days ago?"

"Hmm!" Jin Renwen took a sip of wine, "died in prison, it is said that he committed suicide, hung on the railing with his belt, and then—" he stretched out his fingers and scratched his neck, sticking out his tongue: "so It seems that for Her Majesty, this riot is still a good opportunity to clean up the unsightly things!"

"Brother Renshou means that Her Majesty the Queen is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"I didn't say that!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "Your Majesty will never order such things by himself. Anyway, Li Sujie is also the son of the emperor. But now the official who handles these things has passed away this year." If you are over 50, you are a person from the sixth rank. You live in poverty on weekdays, and you have nothing to look forward to in this life. It can be said that you want to be poor at the end of the day, so you go against the law and do the opposite. This kind of person must do everything in order to get promoted Come out?"

Wang Wenzuo didn't speak, but he wondered in his heart whether Jin Renwen knew something and came to beat himself on purpose. After thinking for a while, he asked: "The emperor's family affairs, it's not up to little people like me to care about them, but those two Will the princess be involved as well?"

"Hehehe!" Jin Ren asked with a smile: "Sanlang, you are no longer a small person. You ask the two female highnesses? They have already shaved their hair, but they kept their heads! What a blessing in disguise! "

"Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzuo carefully observed Jin Renwen's expression, confirming that the other party did not know about the fact that the two princesses had come to seek refuge with him just now, the stone in his heart fell to the ground: "Brother Renshou, why are you so sure? To leave home is to save one's life?"

"It's very simple. What is a woman's greatest weapon? Do you know?" Jin Ren asked with a smile. Before Wang Wenzuo could answer, he pointed between his legs: "It's right here. This is a woman's greatest weapon." , here can let men bleed and work hard for her, and they can also have children. The blood of the Li family flowed on the two female highnesses, and the children they gave birth to had the blood of the Li family. This is their greatest weapon, and once they cut their families, Just like rhinos don't have horns, hornets don't have stingers, but they're safe!"

"Then what if they return to vulgarity?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Returning to vulgarity? That's a good question!" Jin Renwen drank the wine in his glass: "If they return to vulgarity, it means that they are not far from death!"

Pingkangfang, Cao's house.

"You two will stay here tonight, I'll sleep in the outer room!" Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's a bit crowded, but there's no way, it's too late now, I'll change rooms tomorrow!"

"No need, this place is very good!" Li Xiayu hurriedly said: "If there is no sister Xiaoman today, our sisters really don't know what to do!" Having said that, she took out a hairpin from her sleeve Lai: "Just a little bit, please accept it, sister!"

"What are you doing!" Xiaoman hurriedly refused: "I am helping you as a chivalrous man. If I take your property, isn't it a business? Not to mention that Wang Sima has helped me a lot. Are you His relatives, I should help you, no, no!"

Li Xiayu gave it to me a few more times, but Xiaoman was determined and refused to accept it. Li Xiayu had no choice but to take it back: "My sister is such a heroine among women, I have never seen it in my life! If we can learn a thing or two All right!"

"I learned all my swordsmanship from Teacher Cao. If you want to learn it, I will ask Teacher Cao for you tomorrow!"

As soon as Li Xiayu spoke, she regretted it. She knew that she had a special status. If outsiders found out, it would lead to disaster, so she hurriedly said: "Miss Xiaoman, I am a woman after all. forget it!"

"That's true! Both of you should be our daughters, so it's really inconvenient!" Xiaoman smiled and said, "By the way, Wang Sima said that you two are his relatives, so you must know his childhood very well. listen?"

"This—" Li Xiayu hesitated for a while, and smiled: "I am a relative of Wang Sima's mother. I have already issued five clothes. I only met him once or twice when I was young. I don't know much about his situation!"

"A relative on the mother's side? If it's the same generation, it's the cousin's relative?" Xiaoman asked.

"That's right!" Li Xiayu said with a forced smile, overwhelmed by the question.

"Then you and Wang Sima are unmarried couple?" Xiaoman asked suddenly.

puff!
Li Xiayu just picked up the water glass and almost dropped the glass in his hand: "How could such a thing happen? Why did Miss Xiaoman say that?"

"So it's not!" Xiaoman laughed and said, "I heard from you people in Tang Dynasty that cousins ​​are good friends. Since you and Wang Sima are cousins, and you come to join him from afar, you probably got engaged since childhood, otherwise he would Isn't it strange that you are young and handsome but not married?"

"It's really not!" Li Xiayu quickly explained: "Sister Xiaoman, aren't you from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, I am from Silla! I was sold to Chang'an since I was a child, and Wang Sima returned to Baekje just in time to take me back to my hometown!" When he mentioned that he could return to his hometown, Xiaoman's brows were full of joy.

It was late at night, Li Xiayu was lying on the bed but couldn't sleep, too many things happened today, one thing after another was rolling in her mind, like a huge blender, although she was extremely exhausted, she still can not sleep.

"Sister! Are you asleep?"

Li Suwen's voice came from my ear, Li Xiayu didn't speak, and patted my sister's arm lightly with her right hand twice, Li Suwen didn't say a word, she got into her sister's arms, on those cold nights when she couldn't fall asleep, the two sisters often I survived like this.

"Sister, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Xiayu didn't speak, but Li Suwen knew that her sister was listening, she whispered: "If what Miss Xiaoman said is true, that's fine!"

"Stupid child!" Li Xiayu rubbed his younger sister's hair: "If someone says something casually, you take it seriously!"

"Why? Sister, you're so pretty, and—"

"Suwen!" Li Xiayu covered her sister's mouth: "Forget all this, do you understand? If we want to live a good life, we must forget the past forever. Remember, Li Xiayu and Li Suwen are dead , died in the courtyard of Daxingshan Temple, you and I are now two helpless orphans, living on the kindness of Wang Sima, understand?"

"Yes, but we—" Li Suwen retorted, blinking her eyes,
"There is nothing to be proud of. Being born in an emperor's family is not something to be happy about. If A Niang hadn't entered the palace and married the emperor, she wouldn't have died so early, and you and I wouldn't have ended up like this, brother. You won't die so early! It's a disease that turns good people into lunatics and evil spirits. Our fathers, grandpas, and grandparents all got this disease and became evil spirits. They killed their own flesh and blood. Come here without hesitation. We prayed to the Bodhisattva day and night in Yeting Palace, only to escape from this Asura Realm, but the Bodhisattva's manifestation allowed us to escape, and only hope that we will never enter the emperor's house again in this life!"

Li Suwen was frightened by her sister's harsh words. Although she didn't get any benefits from her royal status, she was still proud of her noble blood in her heart. The little pride she had left would also be stripped away, which made her heart full of reluctance.

"Then what will my sister do in the future?"

"Go to Baekje?"

"To Baekje?" Li Suwen was stunned: "Well, that's so far away!"

"It's better to be far away, the farther the better!" Li Xiayu said: "If possible, I just want to go to the ends of the earth, to a place where the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty can't reach! it is good!"

"Weaver, the wine seller?" Li Suwen laughed: "Sister, I'm afraid Wang Sima won't let it go!"

"Suwen, stop talking nonsense!" Li Xiayu pushed his sister out of his arms: "It is possible for Wang Sima to marry anyone, but our sisters can't! Don't forget, he is an official of the Tang Dynasty, how could he marry a criminal? A woman is a wife!"

Li Xiayu's words were like pouring cold water on Li Suwen's head. As she said, it is absolutely impossible for an official of Wang Wenzuo's level to marry a woman of such shady status as Li Xiayu and Li Suwen.

Seeing the disappointment on her younger sister's face, Li Xiayu felt a stabbing pain in her chest. Why didn't she admire that heroic and courageous man, but the cruel fate had taught her long ago that if she acted casually, she would not only hurt herself, It will also hurt others.

--------------------------

It was just dawn.

Cao Wenzong pushed open the door. Ever since his father handed him a wooden sword when he was five years old, he would get up at this time every day to do morning lessons, regardless of the weather.Today, however, there is no desire to practice in his waist.

"Teacher, your complexion is very bad!" Wu Xiaoyi put away his weapon and looked at Cao Wenzong worriedly.

Even if he doesn't look in the mirror, Cao Wenzong knows that he looks haggard, and he probably has deep dark circles around his eyes-he didn't close his eyes last night and couldn't sleep at all.

"Xiao Yi, go out for a walk with me!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiaoyi replied cautiously. He could feel the teacher's heavy thoughts. He hoped that he could do something, but he didn't know what to do.

The two masters and apprentices left the gate and walked westward along the wall of the workshop. At this time, some pedestrians could be seen on the street. Cao Wenzong didn't say a word, and Wu Xiaoyi didn't dare to speak. Follow closely.

"There are so many fewer people on the street!" Cao Wenzong exclaimed.

"That's right! It's probably because of the imperial conscript!" Wu Xiaoyi replied casually, and soon realized that he had said something wrong: "I'm sorry, teacher!"

"What are you sorry for? What is there to be sorry for!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile, "Do you know? Among my apprentices, you are the only one who can pass on my mantle!"

Wu Xiaoyi lowered his head: "The teacher praised me, the juniors are just younger than me, and they will catch up in a few years!"

"Hehe, you're making me happy again!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile, "Master led you in. It depends on your practice. They are all good boys, but they are not as good as you. I kicked you out at the beginning because I am afraid that you will cause trouble, and secondly, there is nothing to teach you about swordsmanship, so keeping you under the door is still delaying you, after all, swordsmanship is still a killing technique!"

"Ah?" Wu Xiaoyi was stunned, he opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer, did he hear what the teacher said just now wrong?
"What's wrong? Is it strange? Little Yi, how many people have you killed over the years?" Cao Wenzong asked.

"This—" Wu Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment: "At least there are two or three hundred people!"

"Killed two or three hundred people, just because of this, your juniors will never be able to catch up with you!" Cao Wenzong sighed: "I have always wanted to gain wealth and wealth with this martial arts and swordsmanship in my life, but I forgot that in the final analysis, swords are also Well, double halberds, bows and crossbows are all used to kill people. I don’t use my martial arts skills to kill people, but I use them as something for the nobles to have fun with, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

"Teacher, are you going to Baekje with that Wang Wenzuo?"

"That's right!" Cao Wenzong nodded, with a glimmer of light in his eyes that people dare not look directly at: "I have been in Chang'an for 20 years, and the sword edge at my waist has blunted, so I should have left long ago. I am a warrior, or Killing, or being killed by others, if you dare not even kill, and become a trick for people to enjoy, what could be more sad than this?"

"If the teacher is going, then I will go too!" Wu Xiaoyi said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then go and get in touch with the people, and get all the bad boys who are good at archery and martial arts. Since you're going to Baekje, it's better to have more people than fewer!"

"Teacher, don't worry, it's all on me!" Wu Xiaoyi cupped his hands to Cao Wenzong, then turned and left.Cao Wenzong watched his disciple's back disappear at the corner of the street, and suddenly let out a long cry: "It has been a dream for 20 years, and the sword is now drawn out of its sheath!"

————————————————————————————

Jin Ren asked about the mansion.

"Your Majesty, that Cao Wenzong is asking to see you!" Black Teeth Chang said.

"So early?" Wang Wenzuo put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the sky outside: "This guy didn't sleep all night, did he?"

"I don't know, but you better be careful, sir!"

"Be careful? Be careful of what?"

"This person seems to be a different person this time!"

"I changed a person, how did I change?"

"How should I put it?" Hei Chi Changzhi thought for a while and said, "The person is still the same person, but his spirit is completely different, and even the generals feel that there is a feeling that people dare not look at!"
