Chapter 503: Killing with a Sword
Wang Ruyi wrapped her robe tightly, took small steps, and followed Li Changxiao closely. Her forehead was still aching and a little red from being flicked. She was still recalling the scene just now. The beauty in her heart turned into shyness on her face, which lasted for a long time.
She was happy or sad, but when she passed through the woods, the sun and breeze blew on her face. She suddenly raised her head, saw the white clothes, smelled the breeze, and the tip of her nose was lightly tickled by the ends of her hair. She raised her hand and put it behind her ears, only feeling the vastness of the world, as if she had been reborn.
She, Wang Ruyi, was back. She took off her robe, untied the rope of sin, and washed off the mud on her face. At this moment, the broken emperor's heart, which had been bathed in the fire of heaven, was not only not destroyed, but even more solid and pure.
However, Wang Ruyi quietly disappeared, and she smiled. The emperor, the country, and the country, let's put them aside for now. My priority is to seduce men.
Thinking of this, she hurried to catch up, and her already passionate emotions returned to their true form, becoming even more passionate and dazzling.
"Li Changxiao, am I not beautiful? Why don't you look at me?"
She stopped Li Changxiao in front of her, put her hands on her hips, and asked half-jokingly, annoyed and angry.
"I've been looking." Li Changxiao replied gently.
In the scorching sun, the girl put her hands on her waist, raised her head, and was as proud as a peacock, "Not enough."
"Not enough?" Li Changxiao was interested, "Then you took it off?"
"Take it off!" Wang Ruyi was angry and raised her hand to take off the robe.
But she felt a gust of wind blowing, and Li Changxiao held her hands down, pointing at the passers-by coming and going, "You woman, you really dare to take it off, there are mostly passers-by coming and going."
"Scare you." Wang Ruyi's face was full of pride. But a touch of loneliness flashed across her.
Li Changxiao, Li Changxiao, you are looking at me, but... why do I always feel so far away.
So far, so far.
…
Entering Fuyu City again, Wang Ruyi pestered Li Changxiao, wanting to change into nice clothes, wanting to take a bath, wanting to buy rouge, and so many other things. Li Changxiao calculated carefully and felt a headache. He had to empty his money. Seeing this, Wang Ruyi muttered in his heart that she wanted to dress up beautifully, not just for him to see.
Li Changxiao counted the silver and responded one by one. After entering the city, he went straight to the clothing room in the city.
Dayu is more traditional. Ordinary people buy fabrics and go home to sew their own clothes. As for whether they look good or fit well, it all depends on the craftsmanship. Otherwise, they give the fabrics to the tailor shop and entrust others. There are very few places to buy ready-made clothes directly, and most of them are patronized by rich children.
Li Changxiao had some money left, so he followed Wang Ruyi to the Anguiyi Pavilion and picked out two dresses for changing. Wang Ruyi was dressed in a new outfit. Because she was hot and bold, and she was next to the person she loved, the clothes she chose were naturally avant-garde and bold, which fully released her charm.
She wore small leather short boots, a satin pleated flower skirt, a silk white jacket, and long hair tied with a silver hairpin. She was already flawless, and a little makeup added color, red lips and jade nose, and there were countless spring colors at this station.
This was not bad, Wang Ruyi had another set of clothes, which was even hotter and bolder, with socks made of silkworms, the hem of the skirt slit to the side waist, and the upper body was thin and revealing.
Every move was to the edge of exposing, and the spring scenery was hard to hide, but Wang Ruyi controlled it freely. It was the most eye-catching dress that wanted to cover but was shy, and was about to come out but not yet.
If she were to return to the emperor, she would not wear it like this. The hazy moon gauze skirt and the black bead silkworm skirt were beautiful, but after all, they were imperial skirts, and she had to consider the word "decent". There were many accessories on the clothes, and she had to be very careful every step she took after putting them on.
It would be better to be free at this moment and wear whatever she wanted. Wang Ruyi was rich in the world, and when she spent money, she could not be described as lavish, she was simply a gold-eating beast. After leaving the clothing store, she went to the rouge and powder shop. Without saying a word, she asked the shopkeeper to take out the latest style of rouge. She was very familiar with such items. After a few simple conversations, the shopkeeper knew that she was not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to buy too expensive, and asked about her identity indirectly.
It was normal for Wang Ruyi to love beauty. No one is perfect. People who don't have one or two ordinary hobbies must have some hobbies. There is nothing wrong with loving beauty, but Li Changxiao's small wallet can't stand it.
After a day, Li Changxiao's family was completely empty. When he turned around to look at the person, he was completely new. From earrings and hair accessories to waist and skirt accessories, everything changed. When she walked on the street, most pedestrians looked at her sideways, and I don't know how many young men talked to her.
She dressed up carefully, of course, to show someone. She was also quite scheming. She bought a gourd on the street and hung it around her waist. She put one or two taels of wine in it. From time to time, she imitated someone and took a sip. Even Li Changxiao found her demeanor funny and interesting, so he gave half of his homemade wine to her.
As night fell, there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Wang Ru saw that the path ahead was not back to the inn, so he was curious and asked.
Li Changxiao only replied with two words: "Kill."
The murderous intention was hidden in the wind and hidden in the soil. When he spoke it out, it was plain and indifferent.
Wang Ruyi asked, "Who to kill? Your enemy or my enemy?"
Li Changxiao told Wang Ruyi everything he knew and didn't know.
Since it had been exposed, hiding was meaningless, and Wang Ruyi was a player in the game and the center of the storm, so he should know this. The voice was slow, and when Wang Ruyi finished telling everything, she could no longer hide her anger. Everything she had encountered had been arranged long ago. The involvement behind it frightened her, and she was even more worried that her Dayu would become a victim like herself.
"So it starts from this stop."
"Will you protect me? You will protect my Dayu and my people."
Wang Ruyi's eyes were dim, and the turmoil behind Dayu was beyond her control.
The man in white became her only support, so she naturally placed all her vagueness and expectations on one person. It was not a request, but just a plea. She kept thinking about it, expecting a response.
Li Changxiao flicked her head, patted the sword, and said with a smile: "I'm not that great."
"But..."
"I was just planning to take you to kill someone."
Hearing this, Wang Ruyi was a little excited, her eyes moved, and her gloomy mood suddenly disappeared for some reason.
She saw the swordsman again, with a sword at his waist and a white robe. He killed people without any hesitation. She thought he was beautiful and liked him. It was just a fantasy from her youth, reflected in the world and fell into her heart. She secretly decided that tomorrow morning, she would pester Li Changxiao again and get a few taels of silver, so that she could also equip herself with a sword and hang it on her waist.
In the future, when she kills someone, she can get some blood on her sword, which can be regarded as chivalrous and righteous, wandering the world. Thinking carefully, isn't this her dream of leaving the court and wandering the world with a sword?
Draw the sword, kill people, and leave in style!
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Even if she died on the road, she would not live a happy and carefree life.
Just thinking about it.
The two of them left Fuyu City and walked to the bank of a big river.
Li Changxiao slowly drew out the long sword, with the tip of the sword pointing vertically downward, and then let go. With a plop... the sword sank into the river.
The river surged.
