"My name is Xie Ning, these two words." Xie Ning went to the table, stained with the water in the cup and wrote his name on the table. Ember nodded and wrote his name on the table. They waited in Ye Jing's room for Luo Ying and Lan Qing to come back. They didn't talk again.
Lying on the bed, Ye Jing intermittently groaned in pain. After hearing the sound, Jin Yue felt something wrong. He wanted to rush out to find Luo Ying and Lan Qing. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Lan Qing. He was forced and staggered back a few steps.
Luo Ying ignored Jin Yue and hurried to Ye Jing with the powder in her bowl. Lan Qing grabbed the kettle on the table and followed her behind.
Luoying pries Ye Jing's mouth and pours a spoonful of powder into it. Lanqing hands over the kettle. Luoying carefully pours a mouthful of water to Ye Jing and asks him to swallow it with the powder.
"Cough......" Ye Jing coughed hard and choked some medicine.
"Luoying, I'll feed him." Lan Qing looked at Ye Jing and couldn't drink the medicine at all. He frowned slightly, took the medicine bowl in Luoying's hand, added water to make medicine juice, opened his mouth and poured it down.
Ember Yue and Xie Ning stood not far away and looked at them feeding Ye Jing medicine. They didn't know what they were doing.
Ye Jing, who opened his eyes, blinked a few times and looked at Lan Qing. "Who are you? What are you doing with me? What strange things did you give me to eat? Why is it so bitter?"
"Ye Jing?" Luo Ying looked at Ye Jing now and felt a little strange.
"Luoying, where is this place? Why are you dressed like this? Didn't you stand punished by my mother?" Ye Jing didn't seem to remember what happened after Luoying came to Linglong Pavilion. She bounced up from bed and looked around.
"Penalty station?" Luo Ying was surprised at Ye Jing's words. Is his memory incomplete now?
"You just came to our Linglong Pavilion yesterday. You were late for practice this morning. Didn't you stand with he he? Where has he he gone? Why didn't you see her?" Ye Jing looked for ye Shaoyi and he he he in this strange room. "Did my mother take the dancers to practice dancing?"
"Your mother and he he went to a far place." Luo Ying lowered her eyes and was in a complicated mood.
"Where have you been?" asked Ye Jing.
"They..." are dead.
Luoying just said the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence couldn't be said. She couldn't imagine that Ye Jing woke up with nothing.
Finally, she could only force herself to bring up a smile and said to Ye Jing, "he he met someone he liked, and your mother sent her to marry. That place is a little far away, so your mother may not come back so soon."
"He he is married? It's very good, but I can't see her off in person. It's great that my mother is away. I have to go out into the outside world while my mother is away." Ye Jing pulled her tendons and made a stretch, "by the way, how can I suddenly fall asleep? I'm curious."
"You're too tired, so you slept." Luoying said, and Ye Jing didn't doubt anything. He continued: "I feel like I've slept for a long time, but let me think about where to play next."
"I heard that the land of Andu is suitable for sightseeing. You can go there for a while." Lan Qing interrupted Ye Jing's thoughts.
Ye Jing rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and decided to accept Lan Qing's suggestion: "I also heard that it was good there, so I decided."
"Just go there, maybe you can meet your sweetheart." Ye Jing beat his palm and decided.
Three days later.
Ye Jing, who packed up, rode a horse and left the peach blossom palace.
Luo Ying and Lan Qing stood at the gate of the peach blossom palace, seeing off and looking at the back.
Perhaps, for Ye Jing, this is the best ending.
"I hope Ye Jing can find his own happiness in another place." Luo Ying holds Lan Qing's hand and looks at the back that disappears in her sight. She turned to Lan Qing and asked, "what should we do now? How should Qiudi's problem be solved? The one month deadline is coming..."
"Our organization is called Luocha. In fact, these killers are controlled by the Empress Dowager. Qiudi was once a eunuch around the Empress Dowager and has always been favored. Later, Qiudi became more and more ambitious. He became persistent in killing people, whether for power or money, and killed people for killing."
Luo Ying listened to Lan Qing quietly. Lan Qing had never mentioned these before. Maybe I don't want to fall into danger. But now, they have to face this together.
Luocha trains a group of killers every year to replace those killers who are killed outside. Among them, there are people specially responsible for killing killers, such as Lan Qing. There are also some killers who are specially responsible for assassinating senior officials of other countries. Most of them are women and trained. They are one in a hundred.
Qiudi is the leader of Luocha, and the emperor is also afraid of three points. But Qiudi is very loyal to the royal family, which Lan Qing has always wondered.
Qiudi's ability clearly surpassed the emperor, but she was willing to be a eunuch and command Luocha.
"Luocha still has ten killers. We have two ways to deal with Qiudi. Either persuade those killers to advance and retreat with us and join our camp. Or kill them all and eradicate the obstacles." Lan Qing continued.
"Lan Qing, this is killing innocent people indiscriminately. Although those people are also killers, they also have the right to live. We shouldn't..." Luo Ying refuted Lan Qing's plan.
"If you don't kill them, they will kill you. This is the reality. It's very cruel." Lan Qing interrupted Luo Ying.
Luoying was silent for a moment and said, "to catch the thief, we should catch the king. Qiudi is our real purpose. Even if others are exterminated, it doesn't make much sense."
Lan Qing lowered his eyes and then asked, "what do you think?"
"You just said that Luocha trains a group of killers every year. Where is the place to train killers? We can start from there." Luoying thought, "we have to find a way to save those people and break Luocha's way back."
"Luocha will be in chaos if there is no killer as a supply. Qiudi will be angry because of this. Our martial arts are under Qiudi, so we can only outwit." Lan Qing said Luo Ying's mind and Luo Ying nodded.
The next day.
Lan Qing and Luo Ying set out for the kingdom of Li and went to the killer training place in Luocha. The Taohua palace was temporarily left to Gao Yuan and long Xue. Before leaving, Lan Qing and Luo Ying drank in their room. But Luoying didn't expect that Lan Qing would put a Mongolian medicine in her wine. When Luoying woke up again, Lan Qing, Gao Yuan and long Xue disappeared.
Only in charge of delivering the letter, Jin Yue stayed by Luoying's bed and waited for her to wake up.
"Sister Luoying, are you awake?" Jin Yue saw that Luoying was awake and hurriedly handed over a letter, "this letter was given to me by brother Lanqing three days ago and asked me to give it to you after you woke up."
"Three days? I slept for three days?" Luo Ying couldn't believe it. She didn't know she had slept for three days. "What about the others? Where's Lan Qing?"
"Brother Lanqing said that the place he was going to was too dangerous. He said that it was too dangerous for you to go with him now that you were pregnant. Therefore, brother Lanqing asked me to stay here, guard you and don't let you leave." Jin Yue said naively, as if he really thought he could hold Luoying.
Luo Ying frowned and opened the envelope——
Luo Ying:
Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. This time, what I want to do is too risky. I don't want you and your children to be involved. I want you to live safely. I think our children can be born safely. So I decided to face Qiudi alone. If you love me, don't come to me. When I go back, I will come back
——Lan Qing
"Lan Qing, you left us like this... You promised to face all this with me, liar..." Luo Ying tore the letter and burst into tears. Finally, she held her pillow and cried.
"Sister Luoying, what's the matter with you? Does brother Lanqing bully you?" Jin Yue doesn't know these dangerous things. He only knows that now Luoying is crying very sad. He wants to comfort her, but he doesn't know what to do to make sister Luoying happy. "Sister Luoying, don't cry. If you cry too much, you will become ugly."
"Jinyue, do you want to learn something? Sister Luoying taught you." Luoying suddenly changed her appearance and seemed to have accepted the fact that Lanqing left.
What she has to do now is to pass the peach blossom palace and everything she has learned to ember Yue and Xie Ning before Lan Qing comes back. They will be the future of peach blossom palace. And she wants to find Lan Qing and take their children after all this is over.
"I want to learn, I want to learn to play the pipa." the more Jin heard that Luoying wanted to teach him something, he shouted and jumped excitedly, completely forgetting that Luoying was in a bad mood now.
"Jin Yue, you go and call Xie Ning. I have something to tell you both." Luo Ying restrained her tears and regained her serious face.
The more excited Jin leaves Luoying's room and runs to the yard to find Xie Ning.
Xie Ning was still a little afraid of strangers. Seeing the ember running towards him, he hurriedly hid behind the skirt of another big sister.
"Xie Ning, sister Luoying asked me to call you over." the ember pulled Xie Ning out from behind the big sister like an eagle catching a chicken, "let's go."
"Is sister Luoying looking for me?" Xie Ning was dragged by Jin Yue's wrist and ran all the way to the corridor. He didn't know what would happen.
In the room.
Luo Ying stood in front of Jin Yue and Xie Ning and said in righteous words that she would accept them as disciples. From today on, they have to call her a master. She will pass on lightness skills and dance to Xie Ning, and Jin Yue will learn Pipa and martial arts.
On that day, Jinyue and Xie Ning took tea and worshipped the master. Their fate became different from that day.
Jin Yue learns Pipa from other big sisters every day. Although he is very interested, it is really boring to learn it. Xie Ning seems to be worse than Jin Yue. She walks on the edge of the water tank filled with water every day to exercise her balance. She can take several baths in the tank every day. But Xie Ning's talent is good. It took three days to find a balance.
At this time, he sneaked out to see Xie Ning's ember. The more he would deliberately play the lute next to him, disturbing Xie Ning's attention. Seeing that Xie Ning had become a drowned chicken, Jin Yue couldn't help laughing. Behind this smile, there are several wooden fish knocking on Luoying.
Time passed day by day, but Lanqing didn't come back. Luoying did not receive any news about Lanqing, and Qiudi did not come to ask for her life. Luo Ying doesn't know whether Lan Qing is still alive or whether Qiu Di is still alive.
The peach blossom palace is like a place that has lost external news, isolated from the world.
Ember Yue and Xie Ning watched Luo Ying's stomach bulge day by day, always wondering whether it was a boy or a girl, and Luo Ying always stood alone outside the peach blossom palace, gently stroking his abdomen, looking forward to Lan Qing's return.
Can wait to come, but not Lan Qing, but a strange man. The man is very handsome, but he lacks an arm. He has a smile of vicissitudes on his face, like a man with a story.
The first time Luoying saw him, she felt that this man must have his own story, and this story was very sad.
"I think you should be Luoying." seeing Luoying, the man suddenly spoke and talked and laughed, which made Luoying guess that this person may know Lanqing, or Lanqing asked him to find himself.
Luo Ying nodded and acquiesced in her identity. She didn't care whether the man in front of her was the killer sent by Qiudi. She just wanted to get the news of Lan Qing from him.
The man continued, "my name is ah Chen. I'm Lan Qing's friend. I heard Lan Qing mention you many times. I didn't expect to really see you."
"But I haven't heard that Lanqing has friends. You..." Luo Ying was a little confused.
"I died once in the assassination mission arranged by Qiu di. But I was saved by a grandfather. At that time, my hand was trapped by an iron lock. I was tied with the dead for three days and nights. A grandfather passing by the road saw me and found that I was still alive, so he saved me. But my hand was dead, so I lost my life One of my arms. "
Ah Chen knew that Luoying would doubt her identity, so she explained it to herself.
"I used to be in Luocha with Lan Qing. At that time, we all thought we couldn't survive. But I have a strong sense of survival. I firmly believe that we can survive, so I told Lan Qing that as long as we try to live, we won't die. We will survive! I think Lan Qing should tell you everything later."
"You are the one who, as Lan Qing said, taught him to live with hope?" Luo Ying looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Unexpectedly, the man who had died for more than ten years was still alive.
