In The Xianyang of August, the heat has not completely subsided, but the autumn wind is gradually blowing. The sky is high and blue, which is the unique weather of the Guanzhong Plain near the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gao Guiying came out of the room, looked up at the clear sky, and let out a soft breath. In her wonderful eyes, there was a faint trace of sorrow, which was extremely faint, and it would be difficult to find unless she looked at it carefully.
She is not the kind of woman who has no temperament, and if she has a sesame seed, she cries and grabs the ground and makes everyone know. However, it is precisely because of her depth, because of the calmness and plainness of her appearance, the trauma and emotional fluctuations in her heart are becoming more and more difficult to smooth.
The crisp weather did not make her mood cheerful, and she turned around in the extremely clean yard and returned to her room. This is the back house of the Xianyang Province.
Yesterday, the rebels captured Xianyang with a single blow. The soldiers guarding the city saw that the rebels were killing in an overwhelming way, and they had no intention of defending at all, and as soon as the rebels attacked the city, they fled, and the rebels fell, and the rebels occupied Xianyang without any effort. Lady Gao also moved to the mansion.
Gao Guiying has followed Li Zicheng out of the customs and entered the customs for more than a year, and he has not left a single step. She also slept with the rebels, sometimes day and night, and the wind and frost made her look much stronger and older than before.
She tried to learn to ride a horse, in order to better adapt to the life of the rebels and to please Li Zicheng. However, her efforts did not achieve the effect she expected, and after they got married, after a fiery and intimate life, the fire of love gradually weakened.
Like all couples who are bound by love, the excitement and longing they once had are gradually replaced by the trivialities of daily life, by endless and small troubles, and after the loss of fresh feelings, they are left with only the step-by-step food, clothing, shelter, marching and fighting. The passionate and enduring love she longed for, at least in form, no longer existed, and she felt a hint of inexplicable loss.
What shocked her the most was that Li Zicheng actually asked for another concubine without her knowledge!
Perhaps this result was also unexpected by Li Zicheng.
That was last winter, before the Qingyang Assembly, when the rebels passed through Shaanzhou. One day, Li Zicheng and Liu Tichun went out to inspect, and when they passed through a small town, they saw a group of people forming a circle and watching something. They urged their mounts to come over and looked over the sensational crowd, and it turned out to be a woman selling art.
People like this, Li zi is much more prejudiced, but it is the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and he has a little more strength and eloquence than ordinary people, so he comes out to set up a field and eat a mixed meal. He glanced at it and was about to beat the horse to leave, but he was grabbed by Liu Tichun. Liu Tichun said urgently, "Don't go first, take a closer look!"
Li Zicheng turned his head again and looked at it twice. This look was not trivial, it turned out that the girl was not only young and beautiful, but also superb in martial arts. She threw her hands and feet, clean and clean, calm and swift. Obviously, it has been pointed out by a famous teacher. Li Zicheng was secretly surprised in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a good martial arts woman.
While she was thinking about it, the woman had finished practicing a lesson, picked up a copper plate, turned it over and collected money from the surrounding spectators. When the audience watched the girl's performance, they were all relished, and when they saw that they wanted to collect money, they "hula" and scattered the birds and beasts, and suddenly ran away. The woman seemed to have seen such a scene too much, and was not particularly indignant, but only shook her head slightly.
As soon as she looked up, she saw that there were two other people standing there immediately, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Looking at Li Zicheng's two people's dress, they did not look like the people in the village, and they also rode on two very war horses. She hesitated for a moment, but still came over to ask for a reward, one was for courtesy, the other was also a panic, and there was no one to reward the silver for a long time.
Liu Tichun deliberately tried her skill, took out a piece of silver, and flicked his middle finger, and the silver ingot flew towards the copper plate in the woman's hand with the sound of "scorn". At the same time, he said in his mouth: "Silver is coming, pick it up!"
The woman saw that the visitor was not good, her shoulders sank slightly, and the copper plate in her hand fell sharply by two inches.
The silver fell into the plate, and there was a crisp sound of "Dang", and then the drip slipped around for dozens of turns before it calmed down. Liu Tichun said, "Good kung fu!" It turned out that the woman had unloaded 80% of the silver with her skill, otherwise the copper plate would have to be pierced through a hole.
The artist woman said, "Please Uncle Reward!" He turned around and walked toward Li Zicheng again. Li Zicheng also took out a piece of silver and said, "Take it!" It is then dropped on the plate. After the twists and turns just now, the woman did not know what strange things would happen, and she had already made a coping posture, but who expected that nothing had happened, which was quite unexpected. She blushed and bowed her head, "Uncle Xie!" Then I went back.
Liu Tichun saw that the woman was not humble and had good martial arts, so he wanted to drag her to join the rebel army. He suddenly shouted, "Girl, my eldest brother said that although your kung fu is good, I shouldn't give you a piece of silver!"
The woman had indeed never seen such a generous patron, and she was grateful in her heart, but she did not expect Liu Tichun to say these words, as if her martial arts were not worth a piece of silver, and she couldn't help but burn with anger. She looked back, looked at the color, and felt that Liu Tichun was provoking, although she did not know what his intention was. She said, "Since Uncle Grandpa said that the silver is too much, then I will pay you half of it!"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of silver, broke it in half with both hands, picked out the larger half, and threw it back to Liu Tichun.
Liu Tichun saw that the woman was angry, knew that she was about to win the plan, and said, "My eldest brother also said that your kung fu is far worse than his!" You might as well turn to our brothers and sons, and we'll protect you." ”
The art-selling woman did not know that Liu Tichun said that the surrender was the rebel team, or that he was not inferior, and at the moment she raised an eyebrow in anger and said sharply: "I would like to ask for advice on the martial arts of the great master." She had already seen that Liu Tichun was provoking, and it was estimated that there was no participation of Li Zicheng, so she spoke to Liu Tichun.
Liu Tichun hurriedly said: "Hey, don't make mistakes, this is what he said, don't blame me." ”
Li Zicheng did not interject or defend himself for half a day, making the woman suspicious. Li Zicheng understood Liu Tichun's intentions at this time, and when he saw the woman looking at himself, he said indifferently: "Body purity, don't make a fuss." This girl had practiced this martial art, and it was really difficult for her. Let's still have business, let's go!"
The art seller listened, and her eyebrows were raised in anger. Listening to Li Zicheng's lofty tone, it seemed that she did not care at all about the martial arts that she was proud of, and this time she was determined to compete with Li Zicheng. Thinking of this, she hugged Li Zicheng and said, "This great master, the little girl should ask for advice!" After saying that, he wanted to compete with Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng also did not explain, and reached out to pick up the move. Liu Tichun shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." This girl, let's talk about it first, if you can't beat my big brother, you have to go with us!" The woman said, "What if I win?"
Liu Tichun said, "Then our brothers and sons will follow you!"
"Scoundrel, do you want to take advantage of your girl?"
"So what do you say to do?"
The woman who sold the art couldn't think of any good way, so she said, "After fighting!" Raise your fist and punch Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng had already seen the woman's kung fu, knew that she was inferior to himself, and did not want to entangle with her more, and when he saw that she really wanted to do it, he jumped off the war horse and said, "Wait a minute, how about we compare in another way?"
The woman, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, looked at him questioningly.
Li Zicheng said slowly: "Girl, do you have any unique skills, although you use it, if I Can't do it, I will concede defeat, how about it?"
The woman listened, was angry, and was about to fight back a few words, when suddenly she had a clever move and replied, "Okay!" With that she took out a silk thread, jumped onto a tree, tied a knot, and then jumped down and tied the other end of the silk thread to another tree.
The woman said, "Now than the first item." She leaned forward and stood firmly on the silk line, walking from one end to the other step by step. Then she jumped down and groaned, "Now it's your turn!"
Li Zicheng screamed in his heart that it was bad, this woman elf was strange, and she was light and tied a set to drill him. If you don't agree, you are admitting that your skills are inferior; if you try hard, it is obvious that this is not a fair competition.
At this point, he had been forced to a dead end, so he had to try it hard. Li Zicheng's light skills were also quite good, and he took a breath and jumped onto the rope.
When he put on the silk thread, he immediately relaxed his mind. It turned out that the silk thread was not an ordinary embroidery thread, but much more flexible than that. He almost fell for the woman because of a thought.
The art seller saw that Li Zicheng had passed the first hurdle lightly and skillfully, and she also secretly admired it. This is not only a contest of light work, but also a test of Li Zicheng's courage.
She casually ripped off one end of the thread. The silk threads are like silk thrown by spiders in the wind, fluttering. The woman drew a single knife, not long or short, and slashed at the silk thread, and the silk thread broke.
In Li Zidao's view, the trick of selling art women is even more insidious. The silk thread was flexible and light, and it did not make any effort, and the woman's knife was just light and thin, and it seemed that cutting into a branch of a tree would collapse into an opening. However, the knife cut the thread just right, effortlessly. Li Zicheng's blade is a good knife used to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but to deal with this thread is like a buffalo falling into a dry well, and it cannot be used with strength.
However, improvisation is Li Zicheng's specialty. He thought about it for a moment, and then he had a way.
Li Zicheng walked to the silk thread, looked at it a little, and suddenly let out a breath of true breath. The silk thread "exhaled" forward, and Li Zicheng took the opportunity to "choke" and pulled out his waist knife and faced the fluttering silk thread. At the moment when the blade came into contact with the silk thread, he sent out an internal force, and the silk thread suddenly broke into two pieces. Li Zicheng withdrew his waist knife, his face was solemn, his heart was up and down, and he secretly said: "It's dangerous!"
The woman's admiration increased a lot, the anger gradually subsided, and the smile on her face became a little more cordial. She said to Li Zicheng, "This great master, good kung fu!"
Li Zicheng hugged his fist and said, "How dare you, how dare you!" While muttering in her heart, I don't know what strange tricks this woman will make.
The art-selling woman said, "Since Uncle Kung Fu is so strong and has such experience, the little girl has no choice but to sacrifice ugliness!" After saying that, she casually pulled out a silk thread, and then took out a silk paw from the bag used to walk the rivers and lakes. She casually threw out a few threads to fix the silk pad in mid-air, and then the flying needle thread embroidered a feminine and gentle "Wu" character on the silk pad.
At this time, Li Zicheng and Liu Tichun can be a bit dumbfounded. This woman's hand is half female red and half kung fu. If it is only about the agility of the fingers and the swiftness of the technique, Li Zicheng may not lose to this woman, but if Li Zicheng is allowed to pinch an embroidery needle with a hand the size of a fan, then Li Zicheng is definitely not the opponent of any woman. But Li Zicheng's big words have already been said in the front, and now he can't say that this embroidered phoenix depicting the dragon is not a test of kung fu, and at this time, it is really dumb to eat Huang Lian--there are words of suffering.
Li Zicheng was born with a cheerful and concise temper, and when he saw that he could not do this, he said to the woman: "The girl is extremely smart, and Li Zicheng is willing to bow to the wind." Whatever the girl tells me, I obey it!"
When the woman heard the three words "Li Zicheng", her spirit was lifted, and she said, "You are Li Zicheng, the rebel in charge of the plate?" Li Zicheng said, "Not bad!"
The woman said, "No wonder Kung Fu is so good, it turned out to be Li Zicheng, one of the world's most famous 'bandit leaders'!" Disrespect, disrespect!"
Li Zicheng was complimented by the woman, and felt even more ashamed, and replied: "Don't dare to be!" After a pause, he said: "Li Zicheng is not as skilled as a person, and he is willing to be punished." What did the girl command, Li Zicheng went to the soup and did not quit. ”
A thought suddenly entered the woman's mind, and her face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Liu Tichun saw the situation and whispered, "Since the girl has won, although she has been ordered to do so—if it is inconvenient to speak here, come, I will follow the girl to find a secluded place to make it clear." The woman saw that Liu Tichun was so understanding, and her anger towards him had long since dissipated.
The woman walked out with Liu Tichun for a while, and said something like this, which stunned Liu Tichun and then became overjoyed. Unable to suppress his excitement, he jumped three times and jumped in front of Li Zicheng and told Li Zicheng what the woman said. This time, it was Li Zicheng's turn to be stunned and overwhelmed.
It turned out that when the woman saw Li Zicheng as heroic and compelling, her martial arts were exquisite, and she was a fellow person, and she could not help but feel sorry for each other. He also heard that he was the leader of the famous rebel army, and his admiration was great, so he moved his heart to support him.
She has been walking alone for many years, and all the difficult things have to be handled by her alone, and all the unspeakable words are spoken by herself, and her pungent and straightforward personality is cultivated. Such a thing as one's own marriage matching, it is absolutely impossible to change the second person.
Li Zicheng and Liu Tichun dealt with a group of rough rebel soldiers all day long, and they had heard such blunt and vulgar words, but they did not expect that there were still such bold and daring women in the world, and the two people were stunned when they first heard her words.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Zicheng stepped forward and personally said to the woman: "Girl, you may not know, Li Zicheng just married not long ago, and he already has a wife, so please think twice!"
The woman said, "The little girl doesn't care about fame." A sentence blocked Li Zicheng back.
In this way, this art woman Xing Xiuniang made Li Zicheng's side room.
