Chapter 513 Heavy Rain, the Fight Begins



Chapter 513 Heavy Rain, the Fight Begins

In the hot summer, a heavy rain washed away the haze, and the yellow mud road in the mountains became muddy. A boot stepped on it, leaving a clear footprint.

The muddy water seeped into the boots, soaking the shoes and socks. The chill on the soles of the feet made the owner of the boots frown, but in order to avoid the rain, he could only endure the discomfort. In the heavy rain, he covered his long hair with one hand and held up a "cool mat" in front of his eyes with the other hand, looking around for a good place to hide from the rain.

I saw a tall tree where the grass was still dry and not affected by the rain, so I ran over quickly. The splashing yellow muddy water dyed my trouser legs yellow, and I was in a bad mood. When I walked under the tree, the raindrops falling on my body decreased, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

The rain came suddenly and quickly.

She tidied her long hair, untied her cloth boots, and took off her socks, exposing her rosy white feet to the air. She looked around and saw a knee-high stone next to her, so she sat on it.

Looking up at the sky, waiting for someone boredly.

The weather has been getting worse recently, with heavy rain and sudden thunder. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier and no one knew when it would last, Wang Ruyi did not feel anxious but bored.

She wet her fingers with a little rain water and started to draw on the flat stone. It was a picture of a little person who was sleeping soundly, with a big head and a cute look. She smiled slightly and drew another little person. Her drawing skills were not very good, not much different from that of a three-year-old child, but one could tell at a glance who the person she was drawing was through one or two features.

After wandering around the world for more than half a month, Li Changxiao was inexplicably wanted, and was always chased along the way. I think the truth must have been exposed. The person who replaced him and sat high in the temple would not let him go, and naturally would not let Li Changxiao go either.

Wang Ruyi was a little worried. She was not a fool and could sense something. She was worried that Li Changxiao could not defeat them. Out of selfishness, she wanted Li Changxiao to leave. However, the people of Dayu she met along the way were either simple, cunning, or ordinary... and they always reminded her that as the emperor of Dayu, it seemed that only Bai Yi could help this vast territory.

She also yearns for freedom, but everyone has their own destiny, and she can't give up all of this.

She looked up, the wind and rain were approaching step by step, as if the heaven and earth had set up a killing plan and locked the two of them early. Wang Ruyi couldn't help but add a bit of worry, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, which she couldn't explain clearly, but in the end it just turned into one thought: if she returned to her position, she would definitely do something for the people of the world.

Wang Ruyi rolled up her hair and took off the wine gourd from her waist. She also loved drinking, thanks to someone's enlightenment. However, she didn't like strong liquor, but sweet wine, which she would take out from time to time to deal with. At this moment, she felt that the water vapor was too heavy, so she drank a little wine to get rid of the water vapor and kill time while waiting for someone to return.

She had been traveling with Li Changxiao for just over a month. Although the first half was difficult, it was even more memorable and she often recalled the experience. During that time, she could not do anything, and Li Changxiao took good care of her. But when she was free again, Li Changxiao did not pamper her anymore, and left all the menial tasks to her. He called it "borrowing and returning", but Wang Ruyi knew that he was just being lazy. She rarely enjoyed being held in his arms again.

Wang Ruyi knew that there were two crucial nodes in her journey. Although she didn't know the undercurrent behind the scenes, and Li Changxiao wouldn't tell her when asked, she was quick-witted and had been in power for many years. How could she not notice some clues?

The first node was the chance encounter with Li Changxiao. The second node was taking off the robe that covered his body and cutting the rope of sin.

Ever since he took off his body-covering robe, Wang Ruyi felt that the undercurrent had become turbulent and violent, as if it was going to swallow him up completely. As time went on, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

She knew something was targeting her and Li Changxiao. After a few sips of wine, the ground under the tree gradually became soaked due to the continuous heavy rain. There was no dry spot on her body, so she took off her outer robe and her undergarment, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders. There was a shallow puddle on her collarbone, and water drops dripped from the ends of her hair, which was half wet, like a piece of exquisite white jade covered with a layer of mist.

It was a pity that no one could see the beautiful spring scenery in the mountains. Her cloth boots were casually placed on the ground, completely soaked from the inside out. She looked into the distance, and wherever she looked, it was raining heavily. She wondered if this rain was going to cover the entire Dayu.

She and Li Changxiao were originally colleagues. A wanted order was issued some time ago, and Li Changxiao's portrait was posted everywhere in the streets and alleys. More than ten crimes were listed, all of which were capital crimes. Murder and robbery were the most eye-catching, which aroused public outrage.

There were countless chivalrous men who spontaneously came to look for Li Changxiao. They could be found every few steps. As for the young man who was carried away by public opinion, Li Changxiao gave him a severe lesson and then let him go. As for the vicious criminal who was after the bounty, Li Changxiao showed no mercy and killed him with one sword, cleanly and neatly.

One scene that Wang Ruyi will never forget is when the two of them were surrounded by gangsters on the street. Li Changxiao, with his sword, killed no one but cleared a path. In the end, he left gracefully, and no one dared to catch up with him.

At that moment, she was so excited. The most important thing was that he was holding her waist, taking one step and one sword at a time. How could she not be moved? Wang Ruyi wanted to experience it again afterwards, but was hit in the head by Li Changxiao. The Jianghu gang could not withstand such torture several times.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Ruyi was also wanted. The portrait of her has no face, only a rough outline of her body and a few descriptions. Her identity is too sensitive, and Xiaozhen can't draw her portrait completely on paper. There are many people in Dayu who have seen Wang Ruyi's true face. Xiaozhen can think of this even if he is stupid. But he doesn't want to let Wang Ruyi go, so he did this.

It can be seen that those people in high positions, even if they sit in high positions, have limited means, are stretched to their limits, and are impatient.

The sudden rain bent the branches, mist filled the sky, and thunder roared out of nowhere.

In the dimness, Li Changxiao returned, bringing back a package of oil paper with hot side dishes wrapped inside. The two of them met from afar and waved to each other. Wang Ruyi put on his soaked cloth boots, and each step seemed to be on water, thinking that such a long journey would make his feet white. His mind flashed, but he did not stop, and in a few steps, he was beside Li Changxiao.

Both of them were being hunted, but they couldn't resist their cravings. Li Changxiao went to the town to buy a roast chicken. He acted alone and pretended to be entangled, so no one could find him, which was more convenient. So he asked Wang Ruyi to stay in the forest and wait. It took a long time to buy the roast chicken. But it started to rain heavily on the way.

Wang Ruyi was soaked and complained a bit. The two walked to the tree and unwrapped the oil paper, revealing the steaming roast chicken.

The aroma filled Wang Ruyi's nose, and her appetite was aroused. She was about to start a killing spree. However, she knew that the man in front of her did not know how to be gentle with women. If she was a little slower, she would be killed.

How could she know that Li Changxiao was already gentle and considerate of women? Only Mei Sanniang and the cook had seen his true ability to snatch food. But perhaps because he was too skilled, even though he tried to hide it, Wang Ruyi still complained bitterly. She was no match for him at all, forcing the empress to grab the food directly.

Just when she was in high spirits, there was a sudden loud thunder, with a loud echo that scared Wang Ruyi so much that she almost dropped the chicken leg she had snatched. She cursed, then happily ate the chicken leg and drank her wine.

But the tree can't keep out the rain. While eating the roast chicken, I gradually became soaked.

The sky was dark and gloomy, and the two people under the tree ate roast chicken in the rain, which was also a special flavor. The cool breeze blew and the slanting rain hit their faces. Because of the rain, the fragrance and taste were weaker, but the taste was not weak.

Eat.

Li Changxiao said for no reason: "Finally found it."

He read some other meanings in this heavy rain.

The corners of his mouth raised, and only after the heavy rain did his battle with this world officially begin.

In other words, this heavy rain was actually part of the battle.
