Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 409
Mingzhu's eyes were full of smiles, and she was waiting to talk, but she heard the sound of an axle not far away. It turned out that Wu Le and Heishan were driving a carriage. Li Wenxuan hurriedly waved to them and called them to come, but Mingzhu was Dai Mei Slightly frowning, thinking they came at the wrong time.

According to Wu Le's instructions, Heishan stayed in the distance, and Wu Le personally delivered the carriage. Seeing that Mingzhu had woken up, she was still sitting in Li Wenxuan's arms, and she wanted to hide her two eyeballs. Scalp came up to him and said: "The carriage is here, please let Miss Mingzhu get on the carriage, but... but I have other important matters with Hei Shan, please allow me to wait for the two of us not to travel together."

Seeing Wu Le, Mingzhu was quite interesting, so she didn't dislike him for coming at the wrong time, and said: "Okay, you just leave the carriage here, hurry up and go."

Wu Le agreed, took two steps back, then turned to Li Wenxuan and said, "I bought this carriage with money, it was not stolen, you two can use it at ease."

Li Wenxuan was also muttering in his heart. Looking at the wilderness of the place, this carriage was probably snatched by Wu Le and Heishan from passers-by. Unexpectedly, Wu Le was very good at handling affairs, so he took the initiative to say that this carriage was bought. Li Wenxuan used peace of mind, and Li Wenxuan was also happy in his heart.

But whether this carriage was bought or snatched, only Wu Le and Heishan knew.

Wu Le and Heishan got on their horses and disappeared in a flash. Li Wenxuan hugged Mingzhu into the carriage, but Mingzhu didn't want to sit in the carriage, and insisted on driving side by side with Li Wenxuan in front of the carriage. Li Wenxuan didn't want to call Mingzhu because of Mingzhu's leg injury. To move around, to talk and talk, is to persuade Mingzhu to sit safely inside.

This time when Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate had already been ordered by Heishan all the way, saying that what kind of carriage was coming, and they must not be stopped. Naturally, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu entered the city smoothly, and they will arrive soon. In the General's Mansion, Mingzhu suddenly pushed Li Wenxuan lightly from behind, and said, "You said yesterday that you would part ways with me today, so... can you let it count today? Even if it is... I beg you."

Li Wenxuan pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped immediately. After a while, Li Wenxuan said: "We won't go on the road today, you should have a good rest, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Mingzhu said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu went back to the General's Mansion, and Wule had been waiting there early in the morning, and immediately came to plead guilty to Mingzhu. Wu Le's responsibility, according to Mingzhu's past temperament, Wu Le must not be able to get good results, but today Mingzhu is in a good mood, but said: "It's okay, your general's mansion is very good, I like it very much."

Wu Le had heard others say that Mingzhu is not easy to get along with, and always loves to make things difficult for others. He was immediately startled, and thought: "What does she mean? Is she going to occupy my mansion to pay for her crime?"

Mingzhu said again: "Is your sister okay, didn't you receive any shock?"

Wu Le wiped his sweat and said: "It's okay, it's okay, but he is very sorry to hear that Miss Mingzhu has been taken into captivity. Both my wife and I are worried about Miss Mingzhu."

Mingzhu said with a smile: "I'm back now, you can reassure them, but the guards in your mansion are a little bad, you need to be more careful in the future, those people may come to make trouble again."

Wu Le read Mingzhu's words of advice, but he cared about his family's wishes. Only then did he realize that Mingzhu just said casually, not really intending to occupy his general's mansion. He was relieved, but when he mentioned the bandits in Funiu Mountain, He was really angry, and said: "Thank you, Miss Mingzhu, for your advice. I am planning to write a book now, and send it to Ruzhou Bingma Division. I will borrow three thousand elite soldiers to wipe out the bandits in Funiu Mountain in one fell swoop." , to punish them for the crime of disrespect to Miss Mingzhu, and also to shame me as a soldier of Yecheng!"

Wu Le thought that Ming Zhu would definitely agree, but Ming Zhu turned to Li Wenxuan and asked, "Look, when they were in the cottage, they pushed each other step by step, but you were always merciful, don't you want to hurt him?" them?"

Li Wenxuan was troubled in his heart. None of those people in Funiu Mountain was pleasing to Li Wenxuan, but they were always righteous men who returned gold. Although Li Wenxuan hated them in every possible way, he couldn't watch them be wiped out by Wule's army. When Le said that he was going to find Dajun, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how to rescue them, but he didn't expect Mingzhu to take the initiative to ask him what he meant, which surprised Li Wenxuan.

Mingzhu smiled, and without waiting for Li Wenxuan to speak, she said: "Now that the North and the South have reached a consensus, even though these people are bandits, it is not good to go to war. Raising troops with excuses is not good, why not let them go for now, as long as they don't come to Yecheng to make trouble."

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she smiled at Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenxuan nodded slightly, full of gratitude, without saying a word.

Wu Le secretly said in his heart: "It seems that Mingzhu treated this kid really well. I have endured so much anger from Funiu Mountain. It's all for his face!"

Since Mingzhu let go of his words, Wu Le naturally didn't want to say much. He thought that the people who came to Funiu Mountain were restless. He wanted to deal with them in the future. Yunyun, and even said a lot of things like Li Wenxuan broke into the cottage alone to save Mingzhu, he was full of courage, and valued love and righteousness. Mingzhu was very happy when he heard it, but Li Wenxuan was a little embarrassed to be praised. The good words in the book were emptied, so I went.

Wu Le went out a few steps, and bumped into Heishan, Heishan said excitedly: "Today's event is very beautiful, let's have a good drink tonight!"

Wu Le frowned and said, "What's good to drink?"

Heishan said: "Your cousin's husband single-handedly entered Funiu Mountain and rescued your cousin, and she was still unscathed. Such a big happy event. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

Wu Le only listened to the smoke rising from his head, and cursed: "It's not your cousin! It's your uncle!"

That night, Mingzhu asked Wu Le to set up a table of good food in her room, with two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Naturally, she wanted to eat and drink with Li Wenxuan. Wu Le was very knowledgeable and would never go to Li Wenxuan again He did something, but Wu Le and Heishan continued to guard in the front hall, for fear that the people in Funiu Mountain would still be selfish.

Mingzhu still wears a veil when she eats dinner, but when she accidentally lifts the veil to put food in her mouth, she no longer turns her back to Li Wenxuan as in the past. You can watch it if you want, but I didn't stop you.

But the more this is the case, the more awkward Li Wenxuan feels. After eating a meal, he rarely raises his head. Mingzhu's alcohol capacity is very good. She drank a jar of wine to the bottom. It is much higher than Montenegro. Even though Li Wenxuan drinks no matter how much he drinks, he will not get drunk, but seeing Mingzhu drinking so much, Li Wenxuan is restrained. He usually drinks with a big bowl, but today he changed his mind. Cheng used a small cup to drink, afraid that he would drink happily and stimulate Mingzhu. If Mingzhu drank too much, he might not know what would happen tonight.

Li Wenxuan could refrain from drinking, but Mingzhu couldn't. Seeing that the second pot of wine was about to bottom out, Li Wenxuan said: "Don't drink, if you drink any more, you will get drunk."

Mingzhu's eye circles were flushed, revealing a kind of ecstasy that went straight to the marrow, and there was a lot of sweetness in her words, she said: "If you are drunk, you will be drunk. Anyway, you are here, so why not?"

Li Wenxuan went forward to take down Mingzhu's wine jar, but Mingzhu suddenly let go of her hands, and the wine jar was about to hit her leg. Li Wenxuan hurriedly bent over to pick it up, but the wine jar caught it, and the wine jar was caught with both arms. But Mingzhu's hands took the opportunity to firmly grasp it.

Li Wenxuan pushed it, but he couldn't push it away, so he said, "You're drunk."

No matter what Li Wenxuan said, Mingzhu just hugged Li Wenxuan's arm into her arms, then snorted softly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.Li Wenxuan wanted to pull out his arm, but Mingzhu held on tightly. If Li Wenxuan used force, he would have to hurt Mingzhu's fingers, so he had no choice but to give up. However, Mingzhu seemed to be really drunk, holding Li Wenxuan's arm for a while, breathing Gradually calming down, he really fell asleep, and there was no strength in his wrist, so Li Wenxuan slowly pulled out his arm, hugged Mingzhu to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and went out alone.

Tonight is the full moon, and the silver plate-like full moon is hanging in the southeast, which happens to be in the direction of Lin'an. Li Wenxuan caressed the Qingshuang sword on his waist, and sighed deeply: "Yingying, are you okay in Lin'an?"

In the early morning of the second day, Li Wenxuan didn't say clearly with Mingzhu that he would go to Beijing together, but he took the initiative to carry Mingzhu into the carriage. Passed the gate of Yecheng.

Parting at the gate of the city, Ule gave Li Wenxuan a small box of silver, water and dried meat enough for several days, and Li Wenxuan did not refuse, thanked him gladly, and then rushed to Beijing with Mingzhu .

After the carriage had traveled more than ten miles, Mingzhu suddenly said: "I have something to ask you, but I don't make things difficult for you, you can say it or not."

Li Wenxuan said, "Just ask."

Mingzhu said slowly: "Why did you go to Kaifeng first, and now go to Beijing?" This sentence has actually been held back in Mingzhu's heart for a long time. She knew that Li Wenxuan might really want to go with her, but this was definitely not Li Wenxuan's original intention. Mingzhu wanted to ask a few times before, but she always felt that although the two parties had been together for many days, Li Wenxuan still had a grudge against her, so she kept silent until after the Funiu Mountain incident yesterday, Mingzhu felt the relationship between the two After advancing by leaps and bounds, I couldn't help but ask again.

Li Wenxuan said, "This...it's inconvenient for me to speak."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Mingzhu's heart. She didn't expect that Li Wenxuan would not say anything seriously, but she was still unwilling, and said again: "If you are willing to tell me the matter, maybe... maybe I can help you, it's your business. , it is my business, I will not be ambiguous at all."

Li Wenxuan smiled wryly. If it is true that Zhu can help him, Li Wenxuan is not afraid that Mingzhu will use tricks to harm him, but he does not want to ask her to go through this muddy water. After all, what will happen when he sees Tie Linger in the future? , Li Wenxuan didn't know in his heart, so he said: "No need, it's a small matter, I can take care of it myself."

Mingzhu's heart is clear, how could it be worth traveling thousands of miles alone for a trivial matter?
Cars going north, people are silent...

Mingzhu talked a little more with Li Wenxuan that day, but after that, they continued to be quiet again. The two of them still rarely spoke, as if they had returned to the past. There is no other intimate contact, but in this silence, the two of them have an invisible tacit understanding. Sometimes a look, a movement, may already be worth a thousand words.

But there is one very strange thing, that is, as time goes by, Mingzhu's leg injury just doesn't get better. Li Wenxuan thought that Mingzhu's injury should be healed, but Mingzhu said that her leg hurts and her foot can do it, so she asked Li Wenxuan from time to time. Come and support yourself.

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu traveled northward for nearly two months, and they have already passed Taizhou. After walking for a few more days, they can reach Shangjing, but the north is not as good as the south. It was much colder than the south, and after a few days of strong winds, the temperature dropped sharply, and the part-time job was like winter.

Mingzhu grew up in the north since she was a child. Knowing the changing weather here, she bought leather jackets and hats in the towns she passed by early on, so the two of them would not suffer too much from the cold, but the north is far less prosperous than the south of the Yangtze River. On the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, small towns and small towns can be seen everywhere, and the villages are even more densely covered with stars. However, sometimes in the north, there is not a single village or town in sight after driving for several days. They can only sleep in the countryside.

Sleeping outside, Mingzhu naturally slept in the carriage, but Li Wenxuan deliberately avoided Mingzhu and never rested in the carriage. No matter it was windy or rainy outside, Li Wenxuan would definitely rest outside. Mingzhu asked Li Wenxuan to return to the carriage at first. In the movie, Li Wenxuan always refused, and then Mingzhu didn't say much.

The sky after the strong wind is extraordinarily clean, especially at night, in a touch of dark blue, dotted with stars dotted the sky, and the bright moon contrasts beautifully, which is the most beautiful.

Li Wenxuan took a blanket, wrapped his body, and found a mound to lie down on, while looking at the stars, while thinking about what happened after arriving in Beijing, he suddenly heard Mingzhu shout: "Come and help me! "

Li Wenxuan didn't have to go there at this time. Hearing Mingzhu's shouting voice was crisp and powerful, most likely he had nothing to do. He called himself over to talk to her, and pretended not to hear it. Seeing that Li Wenxuan didn't respond, Mingzhu changed to a soft one. voice, shouted: "Li Wenxuan, help me up, okay?"

Li Wenxuan still ignored her, Mingzhu snorted softly, then slapped the shaft of the carriage hard, only heard a "bang--", followed by Mingzhu yelling.

When Li Wenxuan heard this movement, she thought that Mingzhu couldn't help her. She accidentally fell off the carriage and hurriedly jumped up to help her, but when Li Wenxuan stood up, she saw Mingzhu sat down in front of the carriage and was squinting squinted at him.

Li Wenxuan sighed, his mind was playing tricks on her again, and he planned to lie down again, but Mingzhu said again: "You can't help me even a little?"

Mingzhu's tone became softer and softer, and Li Wenxuan couldn't bear it when he heard it. He knew she was joking, but he couldn't help but walked up to Mingzhu and said, "What are you going to do?"

Mingzhu pointed at the place where Li Wenxuan was lying just now, and said, "I'm going there."

Li Wenxuan limped over while supporting Ming Zhu as he said, and Ming Zhu bent over and spread out the blanket that Li Wenxuan had just used, lay on one side by herself, and patted the other end to signal Li Wenxuan to lie down too.

Li Wenxuan didn't dare to lie down with her, so he went back to the car and took the tiger skin, covered Mingzhu's body, then sat beside Mingzhu, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mingzhu put the tiger skin on her body, grabbed the fur of the tiger's legs with both hands, and yelled "Wow" at Li Wenxuan, but she couldn't make Li Wenxuan laugh, and felt very bored, so she had to lie down again, pointing to the sky and saying : "Look at the stars."

Li Wenxuan also looked up, looking at the stars all over the sky, and remained silent.

Mingzhu asked: "Among the stories of your Han people, one is the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It seems to be very famous. I heard that both of them have stars in the sky. Which two are they? Can you point them out to me?" it is good?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I don't know these two stars, so I can't show you."

Mingzhu said disappointedly: "You, can't you randomly find two to make me happy?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Cheat you happy? I don't want to lie."

Mingzhu smiled and said, "Why are you so honest?"

Li Wenxuan said with a wry smile: "My father taught me that if I told a lie when I was young, I would be beaten."

Mingzhu was silent for a long time, then said: "You know my name is Mingzhu, but why do you never call me by my name?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I don't know, probably... I didn't know you well in the past, I met you a few times, either you wanted to snatch my Qingshuang Sword, or you wanted my life, I just wanted to save my life at that time , but I don’t have time to say hello to you.”

Mingzhu sat up, looked at Li Wenxuan and said: "Then now, I don't want to take your sword, and I don't want to kill you, so why don't you call me by my name?"

Li Wenxuan said, "I... I don't know either."

"Ah!" Mingzhu sighed, lay down again, and said, "Do you know why I am called Mingzhu?"

Li Wenxuan said, "How would I know this?"

Mingzhu said, "Just guess!"

Li Wenxuan was very helpless. He looked up at the sky, only to see a star in the far sky that was very dazzling, like a bright pearl in the vast night, and then looked back at the bright pearl, but the eyes of the bright pearl were brighter than the stars in the night sky. She is much more beautiful, so she casually said, "It's because your eyes are more beautiful than the stars in the sky."
