Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 26

The next day, the government really posted the emperor's list in various parts of Raozhou City, which was basically consistent with the news spread last night, which didn't make Xing Yan and the others happy in vain.

However, there is some fly in the ointment. At the end of this list, it is stated that because Raozhou pine fruit wine is an extremely noble tribute, it is not allowed to be bought or sold by the people, and offenders will be punished severely.I don't know if this regulation is the original meaning of the imperial decree, or it was added by the prefect of Raozhou after thinking about it. Anyway, it is for the young man in front of him who is planning to resell pine fruit wine to make a fortune. Pour a ladle of cold water on your head.

However, the various taxes, money and food that must be paid every quarter are the biggest expense of Xing Yan's family.It is a great favor to be able to be spared the money and food now.

For some reason, Xu Shi drank a little too much last night, and woke up to say that although he slept all night, he was still listless during the day.The face of Duo Jiaona a month ago was always swaying in front of the young man's eyes, he couldn't get rid of it, couldn't get rid of it, forced himself to forget it, but still couldn't forget it.

When the sun gradually turned to the west, Xingyan finally couldn't hold back, so he mustered up the courage to ask Aunt Xia for leave, saying that there was something to do at night, and the family wanted to go to Poyang County to buy some things by themselves.Although this reason is very far-fetched, but because Xingyan's flute skills are getting better and better recently, the flute music is mellow and clear, and he is generally conscientious in his work, so seeing Xingyan ask for help, Aunt Xia didn't make any trouble and agreed immediately His fake.

As soon as he got out of Huayue Tower, the boy went straight to Poyang County like a bird out of a cage.A month later, when Xingyan came to this Poyang Lake again, the sun had already disappeared into the shade of the mountains, and the clouds in the western sky gradually lost their color.The moon wheel hanging in the eastern sky began to sprinkle its soft brilliance on the radiant Poyang Lake.Xingyan walked along the long lake embankment meandering, while listening to the sound of waves washing against the shore of the lake.The soft moonlight drew a slender shadow behind him.Not long after, Xingyan saw the lake stone shrouded in clear light.A month ago, the girl was leaning on the lakeside, watching him lift up the rock with a smile.Today, the stubborn stone is still there, but Yiren has disappeared.

Seeing things and thinking about people, it was only at this time that Xingyan clearly realized that he missed Ju Ying so strongly—I missed Jiang Tianyunshui at that time, I missed Wuji's smile at that time, I missed her... lightly Yan Xiaoxiao's beautiful face.

It is:

This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.

Although he was full of melancholy, Xingyan knew in his heart that compared with Juying, the daughter of the Luoyang family, he was a young man in the mountains of Raozhou, and he was one in the sky and the other in the earth.Although they fell in love with each other twice when the Poyang Lake was in danger, but at this moment, they are still very important. If the two want to be together, it is almost a dream, and it is absolutely impossible.What's more, now that one of them is in Tiannan and the other is in Shuibei, it is very likely that they will never even have a chance to meet each other in the future!
Facing the smoky water that filled the lake, he was in a daze for a long time, and this broad-minded young man gradually returned to normal.Looking at the moonlight in front of me, the bright lake like snow, such a beautiful day, why do I still think about these troubles!The young man who had regained his smile went to untie the snow from the jade flute behind him, and outside the shadow of the hanging willows, beside the lake stone, a ray of clear flute sounded faintly.The young man in the moonlight played so devotedly and emotionally, it seemed that the jade flute at this moment was not just a simple music score, but the voice poured out of his heart.

At that time, it was the clouds and shadows, and the moon was full of sky.The pure moonlight lightly sprinkled on the ten thousand hectares of lake light.Those fishermen on the water whose boats are their homes have already lit their lights in twos and threes, and they flicker like stars from a distance.In the autumn night, the faint sound of the flute dances leisurely with the cool lake breeze, flying like an elf in the silent night sky.

The jade flute complains about love, and the fishing boat sings late. It is a clear and ethereal picture scroll!

...It's just a pity that such a beautiful picture was broken by a very uncoordinated voice after a short while.Let’s talk about the young man who was putting his heart and soul into the sound of the flute, when he suddenly heard an angry reprimand from the girl’s house next to his ear: “Wow! I finally caught you! What a bold thief, he dared to come to my house! Come and show off!" Hearing the call of catching thieves, the young man who was intoxicated by the sound of his flute hurriedly opened his eyes to see if any thieves were passing by, and turned around to look around, only to find that in the shadow of a tree not far in front of him, A girl who seemed to be pretty good was staring at herself angrily! "Excuse me, this girl, why is she just staring at me? Where is the thief?" Xingyan saw that the girl was not going to catch the thief, but just stared at him here, he couldn't help but asked politely.

"Hmph! Don't pretend to be stupid anymore, you are the flute thief I have been looking for!" Hearing these angry words, Xingyan clearly sensed the expression of the girl who suddenly appeared in Moon Shadow. Seems to be getting more angry. "Huh?! You don't think the flute you're playing is something you lost, do you? That's absolutely impossible!"

The young man swears and swears: "This flute is obviously owned by me, but I don't know why the girl said that? Is it because the moonlight is blurred, and the girl read it wrong?" Wake up to hear the girl call herself a "flute thief", and was surprised. Xiao, in addition to being surprised, he inevitably became a little alert, and his tone became quite solemn.You know, the jade flute in his hand is a guy who eats by himself, and there is a gift from the king of Yunzhong. He regards it as a treasure, and he dare not let others earn it casually.

"What's 'obviously I'm here'?! The flute in your hand is obviously stolen from me! How dare you deny it! Return it to me quickly!!!"

The young girl saw that the thief was caught by herself, but when she saw the owner, she didn't want to obediently offer the stolen goods with both hands. , how to bear this anger?Immediately, without waiting for the "thief" to argue, he actually came to snatch it!

But Xingyan just said the opposite, but unexpectedly this young girl who has never met her before is so savage!He didn't distinguish between black and white, and rushed over to snatch his flute before he finished speaking.While speaking, the flute tail was already tightly held by her!Don't look at this young girl Fang Shaoai, who is exquisite in appearance, but Xing Yan feels that the force coming from her hand is not small!

Although the girl was fast enough, fortunately, Xingyan was more clever and reacted immediately; almost at the same time that the girl was snatching the flute, Xingyan also pulled it hard, snatching the jade flute back abruptly!In desperation, the force was too great, and even pulled the girl staggeringly, and bumped her head into his arms!
"Oops!" The people pulling the flute and the one grabbing the flute had never expected such a result, and almost exclaimed in unison!However, the girl reacted quickly, spat lightly, quickly jumped away from Xingyan, and stabilized her figure.Xu Shi had never encountered such a formation before, and that savage girl was speechless for a moment.After what happened just now, Xingyan is also a little embarrassed.Although it's not my responsibility, and I didn't mean it, but it is very rude to do such a thing to a girl's family.So Xingyan didn't care about the dull pain in his chest from being bumped, and hurriedly explained to the girl:

"Uh! Please don't be angry, this girl. I accidentally pulled the girl down with too much force. I didn't pull the girl into my arms on purpose..."

Upon hearing the darker and darker apology, the girl who was trying to calm down immediately became furious, even more angry than before, and said tenderly:

"Shut up! Well, I didn't expect you to be not only a flute thief, but also a nasty... whore!" Although she said the word "whore" in her mouth, it was obvious that the girl in the shadow of the tree didn't feel that way at all. Not afraid, but eager to try, it seems that he is thinking about rushing to grab the flute again.

Seeing this scene, Xingyan secretly groans in his heart!It seems that today is really a bad year, but I just came here to play the flute by the Poyang Lake to relax, and I suffered this unreasonable disaster and was imprisoned by the heavens. This little devil who suddenly appeared out of nowhere actually regarded him as The flute thief.Besides, after the trouble just now, it is even more entangled now.Xing Yan said to himself:

"That's all. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women. Judging by today's situation, it's very difficult to get entangled. I'd better go with the 36 plan, and it's better to get away!"

After making up his mind, he woke up and said to the girl: "It seems that the girl has misunderstood me quite a lot. It is inconvenient for me to explain more today, so I have to leave first!" Although the words were polite, they seemed very polite He kept asking for the girl's opinion, but when he said this, he had already started to oil the soles of his feet.And when his last words of pleading fell, under the astonished gaze of the girl, Xing Yan's figure was already two feet away!

"Hmph! This thief is really tired and wants to just slip away! Hee! Do you want to escape in front of this princess? Let's see what I do—" I can't tell that this little girl who calls herself "Princess" actually wants to escape. Still a mage, I saw her blowing like blue, her cherry lips touched up and down, and she shouted crisply: "Bing, heart, knot, fix it!"

After chanting the mantra, the little girl raised her slender fingers and pointed at the "prostitute" who was trying to escape!
Unexpectedly, to the girl's surprise, her body-holding spell, which she had tried all kinds of times, was useless today for some reason—the young man who was running only froze slightly, but continued to choose as if nothing had happened. Run away!
Not to mention the surprise of the girl, but also the young Zhang Xingyan, who was running away at a fast pace, suddenly felt that he was tripped by something suddenly, and almost did not fall; but luckily, he managed to stabilize himself quickly , I didn't make a fool of myself.However, at that moment just now, the flowing water in his body seemed to appear faintly again.

"Ahem! The 'Taihua Dao Power' I cultivated is really good! It can prevent me from falling...Ah, sneeze!" Waking up in self-satisfaction, a sudden chill came up, He actually sneezed. "Uh, it looks like it's going to be cool in autumn tonight. I need to add more clothes when I go back... I have to check the imperial calendar. I'm afraid today is really not suitable for music or traveling!" Not daring to stay, tightly clutching the jade flute in his hand, he immediately moved like a rabbit and ran all the way, fleeing into the dark night... The young man who was concentrating on running away did not know that the young mage behind him was thinking that he had just cast a spell The failure was just an accident, and then I recited and recited the mantra, pointing and pointing.It's a pity that it seemed useless to the young man who was busy running away.

"Damn it! I didn't expect this guy to be so fast and escape so far in the blink of an eye. That's right, I think it's because I'm too far away and I can't point the direction correctly, which caused the princess's body-fixing spell to fail."

The girl who found a reasonable explanation, thought about it, and was furious again:

"Hmph! Look at this lazy guy, he slipped so fast, he must have a guilty conscience. But, if you want to escape from the palm of this princess, don't even think about it!" In the cool evening breeze, the girl's thoughts After calming down a bit, I noticed something was wrong:
"Huh? This lazy guy is just an ordinary person, how could he steal my divine snow jade flute? Is it possible that I was mistaken, and he still has some background?... Well, I probably won't, think about this princess Eyes like torches, if there is something weird, how can you not see it?"

The rather confident girl thought about it, but suddenly thought of a possibility: "Huh? Could it be related to grandpa again? But I haven't seen Shenxue these days, and when I asked grandpa, he didn't know... No! Come to think of it, Grandpa always seemed a little weird when he was asking questions. It seems that Grandpa must have stolen his precious granddaughter's most beloved Shenxue and given it to that brat!"

Thinking of this, this savage girl had a sore nose and a flattened mouth, as if she was about to cry.However, just when I was about to cry, I recalled my old and disrespectful grandfather. These days, when I asked him about Shen Xueluo, he only pushed his deaf ears, and the ridiculous appearance of pretending to be deaf and dumb seemed to appear in front of his eyes, so While the girl was suffering, she couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.In the misty moonlight of this autumn night, the figure of the runaway boy has long been covered by the night, and he can no longer be seen; in the clear light of the cold moon, only this young girl who is about to cry is left alone by the sparkling Poyang Lake ...
