peasant young lady

Chapter 269 Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights

"Brother," seeing Yang Dalang turn around and leave, Du Zhong anxiously stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, "Brother, I don't want to do this."

Even though there was endless guilt and apology in Du Zhong's voice, Yang Dalang still shook off his hand mercilessly, "You don't want to do this, and you also know that I tried my best to avoid going to the capital, but you still did it, Du Zhong, you really Well done."

"Brother, I don't want to."

"Shut up!" Yang Dalang yelled suddenly, "I don't want to hear your explanation, he just forced you, you can tell me, I can settle it, instead of like now, you cooperate with him and let him put the two The child is taken away. If Cheng You and Xiaolong are taken away, I will definitely go to the capital, Du Zhong, you forced me to this point, you really are my good brother."

Seeing Yang Dalang turn around, Du Zhong shouted hastily, "Brother, maybe they haven't gone far, maybe they are still in the county."

Your sister in the county!Cheng Xia slandered in her heart, and was directly dragged onto the horse's back by Yang Dalang, then kicked the horse's belly violently and ran forward desperately.

Shao Lin took the child away with a trick to get Yang Dalang to go to the capital, so how could he stay longer in the county, he wished he could run hundreds of miles away immediately to be serious.If he is really treacherous and cunning, Shao Lin must have already had this idea when he met Xiaolong yesterday, otherwise, according to his heart, it is impossible to give up and persuade Yang Dalang to leave suddenly and easily.

How shameless to use children as bait.

Even if they don't fall for the trap and don't go to the capital, Xiaolong and Cheng You will not be in any danger to their lives, but Cheng Xia can't let the two children stay in the hands of such a weird old man, especially Xiaolong and Cheng You. Their psychology will be more resistant to the harm of strangers.

Arriving at Qingxian Village quickly all the way, Cheng Xia hurriedly returned to the bamboo house, simply packed a few clothes, and then closed the door.Yang Dalang suddenly took her hand that was about to lock the door, and asked her in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to go to the capital?"

Cheng Xia looked up at Yang Dalang, saw the worry and unknown anxiety in his eyes, Cheng Xia sighed, and said leisurely, "If there is someone you fear in the capital, and you don't want me to know, or, you can go , as long as you can bring Xiaolong and Cheng You back safe and sound, I will wait for you here."

Yang Dalang looked at Cheng Xia in a daze for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Did you pack my things by the way?"

"What?" Cheng Xia blinked a few times, but did not realize what Yang Dalang said.

Seeing Cheng Xia's dazed but cute expression, Yang Dalang pointed at the package in her hand with a smile, "Since I'm going to the capital, it will take at least a few days, won't you prepare some change of clothes for me? "

"Oh, that's what you're talking about," Cheng Xia belatedly realized that Yang Dalang agreed to go to the capital together, and instantly locked the door happily, and then dragged him down the mountain, "I can't do without you." , let's go after him now, maybe we can meet him on the road without going to the capital."

These words are easy to say, but they can only be used to comfort each other, because Cheng Xia knows that the chance of encountering Lu Tu is slim.Shao Lin must have walked with Liu Jin, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of paths to choose from from Fujian to the capital, even if there is only one path, they will try their best to avoid being found.Almost no need to think about it, Cheng Xia had already anticipated that, if he wanted to see Cheng You and Xiaolong again, Beijing was the only choice.

From Qingxian Village all the way north, just arrived at Wenzhou Prefecture on the border of Zhejiang, it was already dark.Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia rested for one night, and continued northward on the second day, passing through Jinhua Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province, and finally took a rest in Nanjing Mansion for a night, and entered the territory of Jiangsu on the second day.When we arrived in Nanjing, it was the evening of the third day, so Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia stayed behind.

Nanjing, the ancient capital of six dynasties and the city of ten dynasties known as the "beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, the state of Jinling emperors", Cheng Xia has visited countless times in modern times, but it was the first time in Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they could have walked further and stayed in Yangzhou Mansion. After all, a little more north means that they are one step further away from the capital, but Yang Dalang chose to live in Nanjing.As for the reason, Cheng Xia thought, she could also guess.

Sure enough, after putting everything in the inn and having dinner, Yang Dalang took her to the bank of Qinhuai River.Du Mu's "Smoky cage, cold water, moon cage and sand, mooring Qinhuai near the restaurant at night" made the Qinhuai River famous. Since then, the Qinhuai River has become one of the landmarks of Nanjing.

Yang Dalang led Cheng Xia to Wuyi Alley on the south bank of Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River. Cheng Xia looked up at this most famous and longest ancient alley in Chinese history, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.The modern Niaoyi Lane has become a holy place for people to visit historical sites, but it has lost its own historical charm and traces.And the Bird Clothes Lane in front of the eyes is still the true history, with the most fascinating precipitation, let Cheng Xia linger in its narrow but inclusive corridor, lingering and forgetting to return.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Yang Dalang couldn't help asking, seeing Cheng Xia's scrutinizing eyes.

Cheng Xia suddenly laughed, "Because Wang Zhi lived here?"

Yang Dalang stopped abruptly, stared at Cheng Xia in disbelief and shook his head, "You can even guess this, you have surprised me so much that I have nothing to say."

Cheng Xia smiled, "Actually, when we could go to Yangzhou, but you insisted on staying in Nanjing, I guessed that this place is still a bit different for you. From the time you were born to before the Shao family was wiped out, You only live in the capital, and from now on, the only person who can impress you on Nanjing is Wang Zhi, so," Cheng Xia turned back and smiled at Yang Dalang, "it's not hard to imagine, isn't it?"

Yang Dalang held Cheng Xia's hand tightly, walked forward more than ten steps, and finally stopped in front of a high-rise courtyard, "This is the place where Wang Zhi used to live. He has been living here since he was relegated. But now," Yang Dalang shook his head in a daze, "when you were packing things in the room just now, I asked the shopkeeper. Now here, ordinary people live here, and it has become the most ordinary residence."

Cheng Xia raised his eyes and looked at the high courtyard wall in front of him, grinning at the corners of his mouth. What did the poem say, "In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people". Wuyi Lane, where Dao Dao and Xie An lived, has long since become an ordinary place.

Yang Dalang looked at Cheng Xia in a daze, so he took her to the most remote southeast corner of the house, pointed to the mottled wall and said, "I climbed over the wall with Eucommia from here, Wang Zhi's guards are very Du Zhong and I lurked here for a long time before we figured out the habits of these guards, but we underestimated Wang Zhi's defensive ability after all." Yang Dalang shook his head and sighed, "At that time Wang Zhi recognized After leaving me, there was no surprise or fear at all, because the few rooms around this house are also where Wang Zhi's guards live."

Cheng Xia looked to both sides, and couldn't help being a little surprised. This Wang Zhi's defensiveness was really strong. No wonder Yang Dalang was covered in blood and bruises when he returned to Yang's house. He must have experienced a fierce battle. , but fortunately, in the end he won.

After leaving Bird Clothes Lane, I saw the Qinhuai River at night again.There is a kind of simplicity, tranquility, and serenity deep in the bones of the Qinhuai River, which is worth savoring slowly.When the boat is on the water, there is a feeling of walking in the painting. The bright lights on both sides of the bank, the hustle and bustle of the tavern on the riverside, and the singing of the boat lady in the boat painting house in the distance, all come to the ears one by one, leisurely and beautiful.

This is the Qinhuai River in the shadow of oars and lights. The moonlight is hazy with the charm of history, telling the historical deeds of hundreds of thousands of years, telling endless affection and charm.

When leaving Nanjing, Cheng Xia couldn't help looking back. If it wasn't for the urgent time, she would have stopped and slowly went to find Princess Yongqing and Xu Pu.Cheng Xia remembered that Princess Yongqing said that they would leave Pingtan and move to Nanjing.In a few days, when Xiaolong and Cheng You are brought back and pass through Nanjing again, it will only be a few days, Cheng Xia said to himself in his heart.

But I don't want to think that just a few days have turned into a few years.

"Do you know why I took you to see Wang Zhi's former residence?" Yang Dalang asked Cheng Xia on the way from Nanjing to Fengyang, bypassing Yangzhou.

After thinking about it, Cheng Xia finally shook her head, "Just say what you want to say." There was something in Yang Dalang's words. Although she didn't know what it was, she felt that her guess was close to ten.

"Wang Zhi and Wang Yue are my greatest enemies in this life. They are irreconcilable. I will definitely kill Wang Yue. No matter how much pressure there is or how difficult it is to kill him, I will never give up." Yang Dalang spoke for a long time. .

"So? You missed the point."

Cheng Xia's directness made Yang Dalang lower his eyes, "If we enter the capital, we can no longer return to Qingxian Village, what will you do?"

what will happen?Yang Dalang asked cautiously, and Cheng Xia also thought seriously.She hasn't said goodbye to Qingxian Village yet, and Aunt Dahua and Aunt Tian don't know that she left. No matter what the situation, she will go back anyway.

"I don't know," Cheng Xia shook her head, "You will stay, right?"

Yang Dalang hugged Cheng Xia's arm tightly, "I want to tell you, if we can't leave, then you have to believe me, the only purpose of my stay is to kill Wang Yue, I won't miss anything else? "

Cheng Xia suddenly laughed, "What are you afraid I might misunderstand? I don't understand it."

Yang Dalang nodded, and said seriously in Cheng Xia's ear, "You have to believe in me, always believe in me, no matter what may happen in the capital, you must firmly believe in it."

This sentence seems to be bewitching, making Cheng Xia think about the capital from Fengyang Mansion to Xuzhou Mansion, from Yanzhou Mansion to Hejian Mansion, and then from Baoding Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, what is there in the capital that she doesn't know , so that Yang Dalang was so afraid and frightened that he even did not hesitate to mention it again and again, as if he was afraid that the relationship between the two people would change drastically because of something or someone.

It was just that they had just arrived at the Yongding Gate in the outer city of the capital, and before they could enter the inside of the capital, and before they had time to appreciate the towering and majestic Yongding Gate, they were stopped by someone.

The head of the guards saluted very politely to Yang Dalang who had just dismounted, "Young Master Shao, Your Majesty has an order. Once you arrive in the capital, please enter the palace directly. Your Majesty wants to see you.
