Strange Tale of Qingluan

Seven days, when I watched the sun rise, I felt it was a little long, but counting my fingers, it arrived in a blink of an eye.In the room, the looms placed in one place were empty, without any results. At this time, it was time for Gong He to come back, but for some reason, Su Zhongming couldn't wait for him to come back in time.

"Today is the seventh day, and it's the day of delivery. Why hasn't Mr. Gonghe come back?" Seeing the frowning Su Zhongming lingering in the hall, Midoya couldn't help but asked him in English.

Su Zhongming stopped suddenly, and opened his lips frowningly, "Gonghe shouldn't have any problems, but..." Ye Shuangshuang was a little anxious, and blurted out: "If Gonghe doesn't come back, we won't be able to complete the princess's temptation!"

"Shuangshuang, don't worry, calm down first, wait a while, maybe, he is already on the way?" Su Zhongming said, but he was not sure in his heart, and he said this just to give himself and everyone else confidence.

"I hope so..." Yi Tian interjected to answer, but his expression seemed listless.Ye Shuangshuang clasped his hands together and began to pray to the sky, chanting, "Oh my god, my god, let Gonghe come back soon..."

The sound of footsteps came from outside suddenly, and it became clearer and clearer. When Fei'er heard it, she became overjoyed, and couldn't help saying: "Could it be that Sister Shuangshuang's prayers have helped? Is it because Gong and brother are back?"

Su Zhongming was very solemn, and he didn't think that the person who came was Gonghe. As expected, after the sound of footsteps settled, a strange male voice came from outside the door, "By the order of the princess, please follow me to send the woven cloth to you." Go to the Princess Palace!"

Fei'er was disappointed at the moment, and panicked like Ye Shuangshuang, both of them whispered at the same time, "What should I do!" Yi Tian on the side nodded, and also began to cry out of panic, "What to do! We, we What are you going to hand over?" Su Zhongming lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what to do, and then glanced at Yi Yeqing.

"My lord, use the Qingluan sword to summon Gong and the protector?" Yi Yeqing thought for a while and suggested.Su Zhongming lowered his head and looked at the palm of his right hand, "However, this sword has already merged with me, how can I call Gonghe?"

At this time, a voice from outside the door urged, "Please follow me and send the woven cloth to the princess hall! The princess is waiting!" interrupting the conversation in the hall.In order to delay for a while, Su Zhongming pretended to be calm, and replied slowly: "Please wait patiently, we are sorting the cloth, there is no rush."

Another urging voice came from outside the door, mercilessly saying, "I can't wait anymore, the princess is anxious to see it!" Su Zhongming quietly clenched his fists, pretending to be calm, and replied: "Please, wait a little longer!" Just wait, right away..."

At the very moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the backs of Su Zhongming and the others, and then the gate of the Magic World Mirror only appeared for a moment, but brought back a person.Several people turned their heads and saw that it was Gong He and the new cloth in his hands, they couldn't help being happy, and they all felt relieved.

Outside the door came a slightly stern voice, "Don't blame us for breaking in rudely like this!" After saying that, there was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open forcefully. Several waiters took it seriously. broke in.

"What's the noise! ​​You've just finished tidying up the cloth, and you just barged in like this. I've never seen you in such a hurry! If such a beautiful cloth isn't tidied up, how can we take it to your princess!" Fei'er blurted out boldly, and scolded With a sound.

Su Zhongming took the cloth from Gong He, and said to Fei Er: "Don't argue with them, let's go! Let's go to see the princess." When the waiters saw the cloth, they calmed down, turned around immediately, and led them straight to wear. Go through the gorgeous inner corridor and go to the princess bedroom.

As soon as he arrived outside the door of the princess' bedroom, the waiter entered the palace to report, and then came out of the palace with a maid.The maid sent an order: "The princess said that the newly woven cloth will be brought to the princess by the maidservant to have a look at it. Guests please wait here."

Su Zhongming generously handed the cloth to the maid, and waited patiently outside the door with his companions.After a while, Crescent Lake came out from the hall, with a slight smile on her face, different from last time, this time she appeared gentle and kind.

"Has the princess seen that piece of cloth?" Su Zhongming asked.Yue Yaquan nodded slightly, and replied: "The cloth is bright, soft and elegant, and even the peonies are weaved so gorgeously. Such a high-class skill is beyond ordinary people's work! You really are not talking nonsense, you are great businessmen!"

Then, she apologized very much: "I am ashamed to say that I let you all weave the cloth by yourself is completely a temptation to you, because there are too many liars in this world, I have to guard against it, and the guests don't worry about it." superior."

Su Zhongming smiled, and echoed, "Indeed, there are too many liars in this world!" But it seemed like self-deprecating.Crescent Spring smiled and said: "You can weave such beautiful cloth, I should reward you, tell me! What reward do you want? As long as I can do it, I will reward you, if I can't, I can let Ke Khan reward."

"I'm afraid, I can only be rewarded by Khan." Su Zhongming said boldly.Crescent Moon Spring was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help being curious, "What kind of reward do you want, and can only be rewarded by Khan himself?"

"Princess, the reward we want is far less important to the princess than this piece of cloth, but it is very important to us!" Su Zhongming suppressed his smile and replied seriously.

Crescent Moon Spring had no choice but to agree: "Okay! I will take you to see Khan at noon, when worshiping the Vulcan." Su Zhongming was very happy, and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, princess!"

Yueyaquan said again: "Okay, you guys go back!" After saying that, he turned around and left with the maid, and went to the place where he was recruiting a son-in-law.Su Zhongming successfully survived the difficulties of Crescent Spring, and returned to the palace with his companions happily.

"It's so dangerous! Fortunately, we crossed the sea without telling the truth!" Yitian sighed hastily as soon as he sat down.Ye Shuangshuang couldn't hold back, and said to Su Zhongming, "City Lord! I actually admire the City Lord just now." Su Zhongming turned his head when he heard the words, his eyes full of doubts, "Admiration me?"

Ye Shuangshuang replied: "We have been liars for the past seven days. Just now when the princess said that there are many liars in the world, my heart skipped a beat. I was extremely nervous, but the city lord can still act like that in front of the princess." It is impossible for me to calmly agree with her statement."

Su Zhongming smiled, showing some pride in his brows and eyes, and replied: "This is what it means to be a real person without showing your face. Since you have been a liar once, of course you have to lie to the end, otherwise you can't be a successful liar!"

"I hope this kind of thing happens only once. The city lord can't treat us as liars anymore. Otherwise, the elders will definitely be angry." Yi Yeqing suddenly interjected, calmly admonishing him.

Su Zhongming nodded lightly, responded with a light 'hmm', then sat down cross-legged, poured a glass of water, drank it himself, and after drinking the glass, he looked at the silent Gonghe beside him, and found that he was drooping. In a daze, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, he froze immediately.

"By the way, Brother Gonghe, why didn't you come back earlier! You made us think we were going to die..." Fei'er opened her lips and uttered a word from her heart. Seeing that Gonghe didn't respond, she said strangely: "Brother Gonghe? Gong and Guardian? What's wrong..."

Only then did Gong He come back to his senses, and quickly raised his head to ask, "What? What did you just say?" Fei'er had no choice but to repeat the words, "Why didn't you come back earlier..." Gong He heard clearly , with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, something happened to me there, so I was a little delayed."

Su Zhongming drank the water again before answering: "There are so many silks in Landan Country, just pick a plain one from any big shop." Thinking of the craftsmanship of that piece of cloth, he couldn't help but murmured, "But the one you sent over doesn't seem cheap..."

Gong He replied truthfully, "I don't know silk, let alone pick it. I went to many markets and found nothing. Later, I just went to find Xiaokui. When I found him, something happened that delayed the time..."

"Where you are, what trouble did you have with He Wukui?" Su Zhongming held the cup, feeling extremely curious.After hearing this, Gong He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips without answering Su Zhongming's question. Slowly, he began to recall what happened at that time in his mind.

——That day, it was a fine day, the sun was not as tormenting as Beiyi Hassan, but it was very gentle.Gong He strolled along the long neighborhood, tried many shops but failed, thought that He Wukui was still sorting out the affairs at his hometown outside Chenghuang, so he borrowed a horse and drove away.

The old house is hidden in a quiet grove, with fallen dead leaves all over the garden, it feels like it has been asleep for a hundred years.Gong He happily stepped into the front yard and called out "Xiao Kui" loudly, but there was no answer. He pushed open the old lattice door again, and all he saw were old furnishings and a mess everywhere, not a single person.

The strong wind, blowing from behind him, blew into the house, randomly rolled up the papers lying on the ground, and flipped the books lying on the ground randomly.

man, not here?Are you not at home today? ——Gong He was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and left, looking for other houses, until he finished walking around the old house, he still didn't find anyone.

"Hey, Xiaokui, are you here! I don't have time to play peek-a-boo with you!" Out of helplessness, he yelled in the empty courtyard, and there was an answer right away, but... it was because of suffering. His voice was just the meow of a small tabby cat running across the grass in fright.

He scratched the back of his head and gave up completely, "So I'm a fool..." After muttering this self-deprecating sentence, he turned and walked away quickly, and went to look elsewhere.

There is a lion village a few miles away from this grove. The lion dance there is very beautiful, and the ghost masks made by the villagers are also very strange and fun, not to mention the tassel flower balls and knots.Once, he came here once, and he thought the persimmon cakes tasted very good, so he packed a few packs as soon as he bought them.

Maybe...he went shopping in Lion Village, right?For example, buy persimmon cakes. ——Gong He guessed like this, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, and hurried to Lion Village.

On the way, passing through a field where golden rapeseed flowers are blooming all over the sky, two sandy figures danced alternately among them, and the innocent wounded flower clusters swirled and fluttered in the air with the strong wind, writing a glorious page before life disappeared, scattered on two people.

Gong He just glanced at it and continued on his way, but because of the ominous premonition that suddenly emerged in his heart, he turned his horse's head and galloped into the golden field.

Among the two fighting figures, one of them was clearly the He Wukui that Gong He was looking for. Gong He quickly jumped off his horse, rushed up, gave him a helping hand, and attacked his opponent.

When the opponent evaded his tricks and retreated a few steps, Gong He was stunned when he saw his attire and the mask on his face.He Wukui was also surprised by Gong He's appearance, and blurted out to him, "Senior Brother Gong! Why did you come here?!"

Gong He didn't seem to listen to what he said, and just stared blankly at the man in front of him wearing a ghost mask and wearing a plain white narrow-sleeved robe with light purple trim and a bat-patterned plain gauze sleeve robe.

"Senior Brother...Senior Brother Yan..." A voice that had become unfamiliar in a long time was squeezed out between the teeth, and Gong He stared at the masked face of the other party.But in front of him, the man standing upright didn't move at all, his long silver hair was fluttering in the wind of curly flowers, only his hands quietly curled into fists.

He Wukui looked at them, opened his lips, and said wittily, "Let's talk about the past slowly, I'm redundant, so I won't..." Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yan yelled angrily, "That's right! You are redundant ! Master only accepted four of us as disciples, without you at all! Why do you call him master! Why do you take away my position!"

"Because you are a traitor..." He Wukui said calmly, and gave the reason openly and squarely.Huang Yan laughed loudly, but his mouth was full of chills, "Well said! Well said! I have a teacher's school, so the master let you be a substitute!"

Gong He interjected, persuading him by the way: "Brother Yan! The master did this out of helplessness! As long as you obediently go back and admit your mistakes to the master, the master will definitely treat you as an apprentice!"

Huang Yan laughed wildly, but said mercilessly: "Go back and admit your mistake? What's wrong with me! It's Qingluan City that was wrong!" Gong He blurted out, "Brother, don't sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire!" ! There is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering!"

Huang Yan couldn't bear it any longer, and tightly fertilized his head, becoming impatient, and because of this, he became more ruthless, stretched out his right hand, pointed at Gong He with his index finger, and replied: "You can save the extra words. Listen to yourself! Last time, I haven't settled with you for the trouble you made in Xiangdong Pavilion!"

On the back of his right hand was tied a jade pendant, and the red string was wrapped around the back of his hand and wrist. Zhu Bi responded very clearly, confirming the determination of no regrets.Gong He's eyes fell on the ornament on the back of his hand, and he was stunned, but the attack came at just the right time.

When he came to his senses, seeing the sharp blade was about to attack the evil, Gong He quickly avoided it, and looked at Huang Yan again, the scene of laughing and spending many beautiful days together in the past flooded into his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. From his point of view, the other party was like a familiar person possessed by an evil spirit.

'I want to drive out the evil spirit on that mask! As Gong He thought so, Wo clenched his fists, and finally made a move unceremoniously at Huang Yan. Seeing this, He Wukui also joined forces with him.

During the two-on-one fight, Huang Yan got punched, stepped back again, and blurted out through gritted teeth, "Damn it! Do you think you can defeat me!" After saying that, he used thaumaturgy to control the random wind in his palm, and then all Sent out, the golden flowers were blown away, and for a while, the sky was covered with rain of yellow flowers, blurring people's eyes.

The two raised their hands to block the wind that blew the flowers in front of them, and only heard "One day, I will make Qingluan City shatter like this yellow flower!"You give me a good memory! ', brushing off the rain of yellow flowers, they looked intently, but Huang Yan was no longer there.Gong He hurriedly chased a few steps, stood in the sea of ​​flowers, couldn't help shouting to the sky, "Brother Yan!"

Why don't you want to call me by my name again? Have you really forgotten it?In the end is why!Is Qingai really more important than duty than everything else!Eldest brother has sacrificed so much, but still can't wake up your obsession, what will you do before you come back?

Gong He bowed his head, thinking this way in his heart, frustrated, and accidentally found a mask that was left behind lying in the rapeseed bushes, and the colorful colors of Zexin danced with the joy of the buyer at that time.

Gong He bent down, picked it up, looked at it, seemed to understand, and thought: So, did you appear here because of this thing?

"Senior Brother Gong...Senior Brother Gong?" Calls came from behind again and again, and after a while, Gong He put away the mask, turned around, and replied: "I'm fine, but I'm here to find you this time, I have something to ask you."

The memory was interrupted here because of repeated soft calls, Gong He raised his head, looked at Su Zhongming beside him, then slowly opened his lips, and slowly answered Su Zhongming's question, "It's nothing... the relationship between us brothers It's just a private matter..."

"Did you and He Wukui choose that piece of cloth together? He Wukui really has a good eye!" Su Zhongming sighed.Gong He blurted out, "We didn't go to the market, he dug out that piece of cloth from a big box at home."

After hearing this, Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, "Why did he keep such a piece of cloth?" After pondering for a while, he couldn't help guessing, "Could it be... this piece of cloth was originally intended to be used as a wedding dress for Le Ming? "

Gong He was slightly stunned, "Who is Le Ming?" Su Zhongming smiled slightly, and replied, "Le Ming, it is the best memory of his life. Although it is a pity, it has made He Wukui what he is today."
