Chapter 170: Forget about each other in the next life
After asking the same answer from the old man, Song Ruoxi found out, he felt extremely headache. What exactly should this crazy crazy Chen?
Chen Mo was not present and could not come back and forth with words. He used his actions to show that he was going to entangle and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
In the early morning, the bride-sending team left the city in a mighty manner, and went up Zijin Mountain ten miles away. Not long after going up the mountain, it started to rain. After nearly half an hour, the rain dropped slightly. Shangguan Moxun heard the faint sound of horse hooves in front of him, and flew out of the carriage with a "swoosh" and looked into the distance.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves was approaching, and nearly thirty men in strong outfits blocked the way. The leader was a strong man with a beard. He said nothing nonsense and waved his sword, "Snatch people!"
Shangguan Moxun pulled out the soft sword from his waist, rubbed his body, and fought with the strong man in a difficult way. The weapons were connected, and the fire was bursting out.
The fierce fighting sounds, the sound of metal collisions, and the groaning of the blades sank into the body made this narrow mountain road built along the mountain with a steep cliff below suddenly became a bloody killing battlefield. Zi Shi and others did not take action, and stood by the carriage to protect Song Ruoxi.
Tuo Yan, Mr. Xie and Zhang Shaoqing hurried in the carriage, with fear on their faces and trembling. This trip was too dangerous to send a bride and would never come again next time.
Three people flew over with swords, fell and leaped straight into the carriage, and Zi Shi was waiting for the people to meet him. A guard riding a horse was about to retreat and make way out, but before he could do anything, the person came to the horse's head with a palm. Song Ruoxi was thrown down by the horse, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, falling from the edge of the cliff.
"girl!"
"Princess!"
It turned out that for Song Ruoxi's safety, Shangguan Moxun did not let her sit in the carriage, but asked her to wear a mask, men's clothing, and ride a horse and a carriage as an escort. He thought it was foolproof, but who knew that she would suffer first.
Hearing the shouts of everyone, Shangguan Moxun looked back and saw that the gray horn of his clothes quickly disappeared from the cliff. He brushed the soft sword in his hand a few times, forcing the strong man to take two steps. He turned around and flew to the place where Song Ruoxi fell from the cliff, and jumped down without hesitation.
"Young Master."
"Young Master Shangguan!"
"Young Master!"
Everyone exclaimed again, but the enemy was approaching and they couldn't take care of themselves.
Song Ruoxi fell astonishingly fast. Even if Shangguan Moxun jumped closely with her, it would be a distance away. Moreover, he was still a little late. Seeing Song Ruoxi falling towards an unknown place, he almost flew out of the sky. In order to catch her before landing, he used a thousand-pound drop to accelerate the fall. Finally, he came back and stretched his long arms, hugged her waist, shook his soft sword, and wrapped around the tree growing in the gaps in the mountain wall.
However, the trees growing in the gaps in the mountain walls could not withstand the weight of the two of them. In addition, the blade was sharp, even if the branch kept cracking, it would be cut off by the blade. Shangguan Moxun gritted his teeth, took back the soft sword, wrapped it around his waist, fell down for a distance again, and grabbed a protruding stone on the mountain wall with his bare hands.
Song Ruoxi's face was pale, and the feeling of falling into the air made people frightened. His heart could hardly bear the feeling of weightlessness. When Shangguan Moxun hugged her, she hugged him tightly with instinct. When she recovered, she saw Shangguan Moxun holding her with one hand and the other holding the stone.
Song Ruoxi thought that Chen Mo had killed so many innocent people for her, and she was both angry and regretful. After saying a few words, Chen Mo would have such a strong obsession and entangled until now. If she had known what happened today, she would have never spoken and never made such a bad relationship.
It was almost the hour of Xu, and the sky was dark. I stayed in a small village at the foot of the mountain. Song Ruoxi took a bath and changed his clothes, rinsed his mouth with clear water, invited the white jade Guanyin out, knelt down with incense, folded his hands together, murmured in his mouth, "Namo Amitabha Night, Dotagata Night, Dotagata Night, Dotagata Night, Dotagata Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Amitabha Night, Vijara, Vijara, Gajara, Jitagala, Savaha."
I recited it twenty-one times before I stopped, and recited it for those who have passed away, and for those who are living. May the Buddha's light shine everywhere, and the deceased go to the Pure Land without complaining or resentment, and reincarnation; everything goes well, good luck, happiness and peace.
At dawn, the bride-sending team left this small village, and the wheels rolled across the muddy road and drove towards Lizhou. Leaving here means being far away from the territory of Fujian. Song Ruoxi lifted the curtain and looked back. The high purple gold mountain blocked her view from the distance. She had been away for almost two months. I wonder if her family was safe? The autumn examination has passed, and I wonder if my brother has passed?
After entering Lizhou City, Zi Shi took out the token given to him by Ye Shuhua and called the soldiers from the Flying Eagle Camp to escort Song Ruoxi to Dengying City. The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Camp were wearing all black uniforms, with flying eagles embroidered on their brocade belts, and swords hung on their waists. The silver helmet shone in the sun, looking majestic.
Looking at this group of well-trained elite soldiers, Song Ruoxi knew why Dengyingcheng could be independent of the five countries and enjoy a special status.
It takes two days to get from Lizhou to Changzhou, and three days to get from Changzhou to Dengyingcheng. The journey is safe and sound. In order to express his welcome and importance to Princess Yuxian of Fujian, Yefan ordered the leader of the city to lead the officials of Dengyingcheng to welcome him ten miles outside the city.
Song Ruoxi did not get off the carriage, and Shangguan Moxun avoided it, so he went to socialize with Tuo Yan, Xie Shilang and Zhang Shaoqing.
The city of Dengying City covers a huge area, with three walls. The outer city wall is three to nine and two to two to two. The city walls are built with dozens of viewing buildings and corner buildings. Due to the large number of merchants, there are six gates, and one gate is added to the east and west walls. There are tile houses in the city, with shops scattered and vendors along the streets. The sounds of hawking are heard one after another.
The inner city wall is three 2 meters high and one 8 meters wide. Officials and wealthy merchants live in the inner city. Going further inside, it is the real Dengying City. The wall is three 6 meters high and two 2 meters wide. It is divided into five gardens in the east, south, west and north. Zhongyuan is the residence of Ye Fan and his wives. Dongyuan is the residence of the young city lord, and Nanyuan is the residence of other legitimate sons. Ye Fan is only Ye Shuhua, the legitimate son, and Nanyuan is the residence of the Nanyuan. The northern garden is the residence of each concubine. Xiyuan is the residence of girls who are ten years old and have not yet been married.
Song Ruoxi put down the booklet recording the information of Dengyingcheng in his hand, lifted up some curtains, looked at the bustling scenery outside the car, and her eyes slightly turned, and she would spend the rest of her life here.
