Tribulations of the Wind and Dust

I. A Heart Full of Regret "Ah! They're here, they're here!" A soft, sweet voice rang out, and more than ten pairs of eyes shot towards the yellow mud road in front of them;
dust billowed on the road, and the sound of rumbling carts filled the air. Suddenly, a shadow darted out, rushing towards the dust cloud.

"That girl's up to her old tricks again!" Among the dozen or so people, a tall, thin middle-aged man with a clear face stroked his beard and laughed, "Let's see if she has the ability to rob the caravan this time."

After the shadow had run forward several dozen feet, about a dozen caravans and dozens of men of varying heights appeared in the dust cloud; upon
seeing the approaching figure, the short, stout, and burly man at the head immediately raised his hand and made a gesture, and the group stopped. At this moment, a
young man and leaped towards the approaching shadow.

Two shadows approached each other, then a flash of white light and a clang rang out, and both shadows stopped abruptly. A man and a woman stood facing each other, each holding
a long sword .

The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and pretty face, fair and smooth skin, and a graceful figure. Her
large, bright eyes blinked, revealing an irresistible charm. The man appeared to be about twenty years old, with sword-like eyebrows, dark pupils, and a handsome appearance
. He stared intently at the girl's beautiful face with a half-smile.

The young woman frowned and cried out, "Get out of my way, you idiot! I'm here to rob the caravan!"

"Rob the caravan?" The young man finally couldn't help but chuckle. "You're here to rob the caravan again?"

The young woman bit her lip and stamped her foot, then huffed, "How annoying! You're mocking me again! I'll cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" She drew her sword and thrust it
straight at the young man.

The young man shouted, "Good!" and immediately countered with his sword.

The young woman drew her sword first, but their attacks were simultaneous, the swords flashing and the sound of metal ringing out. They exchanged dozens of blows, seemingly
evenly matched ; however, the young woman's rosy cheeks were now evenly flushed, while the young man remained smiling, easily exchanging blows.

Suddenly, the young woman panicked, spun around, and her swordplay abruptly changed, three cold glints flashing towards the young man's upper, middle, and lower body.

"Good! Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Boundless Sword!" The young man shouted softly, his longsword trembling as it slashed towards the three incoming swords like a rainbow piercing the sky.
With a clang , the girl's three swords were immediately deflected by the descending blade. The young man looked up triumphantly, only to see the girl pouting, frowning, and giving him an angry
glare. Startled, he immediately withdrew his sword .

The girl's eyes lit up, and the tip of her sword suddenly flashed out two strange arcs, swirling towards the young man's sword. With a clang, the young man's sword fell to the ground.

The boy shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Fine! You win."

The girl laughed like a silver bell, "I lost, so what? What do you mean I win? You're not happy about it, humph!" She made a sly face, skipped over to
the short, fat, burly man in the lead, and affectionately pulled his arm, saying sweetly, "Uncle, I finally won this time, right? Where's the thing you promised me?"

The short, fat man laughed, "Good! Little girl, you've gotten more and more mischievous in the past two months, even bullying your senior brother?"

The girl was about to argue when she suddenly heard a middle-aged man's voice behind her, "This girl, her swordsmanship hasn't improved at all, but she's learned quite a few
tricks to ." Turning around, she saw the tall, thin middle-aged man who had been on the other side, holding the hand of the boy who had been sparring with a sword, walking over with a smile.

Immediately, the dozens of men in the caravan shouted, "Long time no see, Chief Escort!" "We've accomplished our mission! We've finally brought this shipment back!" "Hey!
Our 'Weiyuan Escort Agency' has a renowned reputation; not a single scoundrel dares to rob it."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, patted the short, stout man's shoulder, and said, "Brother, you've all had a hard time this time."

The short, stout man replied with a smile, "Brother, you're too kind. It was you brothers who protected this shipment with utmost care the whole way. Fortunately, the various gangs and sects were very grateful
to us, and the journey was peaceful and uneventful."

The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "Brothers, you've truly worked very hard. I've ordered men to slaughter chickens and sheep and prepare aged wine to welcome you all
back !" Immediately, everyone cheered.

The tall, thin middle-aged man was Lu Dewei, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the "Weiyuan Escort Agency," and the short
, stout man was his younger brother, named Lu Deyuan. The two had co-founded the "Weiyuan Escort Agency" in their youth. Although it hadn't achieved the widespread reach of larger escort agencies over the past decade, it had still made a name for itself. Furthermore, the brothers were well-connected and enjoyed making friends, and
in the Fujian province area alone, the "Weiyuan Escort Agency" controlled more than half of the bodyguard business. The Lu brothers were content with this and had no desire to expand beyond their home province or steal
business from other escort agencies.

However, just two months ago, a wealthy merchant living in the capital offered an exorbitant fee, specifically requesting that the "Weiyuan Escort Agency" handle his escort missions. Lu Dewei initially
didn't want to break his principles and declined the offer, but he couldn't resist the unanimous persuasion of all the
bodyguards
. After much deliberation, he finally decided to make an exception and escort this shipment once in a while. However, Lu Dewei had many worries. Firstly, the two places were thousands of miles apart, and the journey would not only be twice as arduous, but the number of troublesome gangs would also increase dramatically. Secondly, the shipment he was escorting consisted of chests of rare and priceless treasures, and it was far too risky to entrust such a large shipment to a small company like "Weiyuan Escort Agency." For the past two months,
Lu Dewei had been constantly worried and fearful. Today, seeing the convoy return safely, a weight lifted from his heart, and he finally smiled,
dispelling the gloom of the past few days.

At this moment, Lu Dewei saw his beloved daughter, Lu Xuanshuang, the beautiful young woman, clinging to his younger brother, Lu Deyuan, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Shuang'er,
we agreed that your uncle would only give you a gift if you won by your true abilities. This time you clearly cheated and renege, so you won't get a gift."

Lu Xuanshuang replied without hesitation, "Father, you're mistaken! As the saying goes, 'all's fair in war.' What's wrong with using a little trick? If it were an actual battle, even if you had ten lives,
your precious disciple, my most respected senior brother, wouldn't be alive. Senior brother, don't you think?" As she spoke, she winked at the young man, revealing
a charming smile.

That young man was Lu Xuanshuang's senior brother, named Bai Shaoding. Seeing Lu Xuan Shuang's playful appearance, his heart melted, and he laughed, "Whatever Junior Sister says
, Senior Brother wouldn't dare to object."

Lu Xuan Shuang retorted, "No objection? What do you mean 'wouldn't dare' to object? How annoying!" She then gave Bai Shao Ding a charmingly reproachful look, and when their eyes met,
Bai Shao Ding's affectionate gaze, his heart trembled, and he shyly lowered his head, his cheeks burning red.

The Lu brothers naturally noticed this scene of mutual affection; Lu De Yuan laughed heartily, "Good! Shao Ding, Xiao Shuang isn't even married yet, and you're already so
obedient to her. You'll probably be a henpecked husband in the future."

Bai Shao Ding smiled helplessly, "Sigh, I was already prepared..."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter; someone even shouted, "Hey! Future Mrs. Bai, if Young Master Bai misbehaves in the future, you can punish
him by making him kneel on an abacus!"

Bai Shaoding and Lu Xuanshuang had grown up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and were already deeply in love. A year ago, Lu Dewei had publicly announced their engagement, making their
relationship legitimate, so no one shied away from joking about this golden couple.

Although Lu Xuanshuang was as spirited as any man, she was still a virgin and couldn't help but feel shy about matters of marriage. At this moment, she couldn't help but let out a soft "ooh," feigning anger
, "You're all bullying a girl like me! I... I'm never talking to you again!" She stomped on Bai Shaoding's instep and ran away shyly
. All that could be heard behind her was Bai Shaoding's "ouch" and the uproarious laughter of the crowd.

Lu Xuanshuang blushed and ran all the way back to the city. After passing through the city gate, she gradually started walking instead of running, panting heavily, her
face the smile that bloomed on her face from her joy. Thinking about the scene just now, she felt a surge of secret delight, and before she knew it, she had returned to the gate of "Weiyuan Escort Agency".

Lu Xuanshuang felt relieved, and saw a young man in blue standing in the bustling crowd, gently waving a folding fan, gazing up at the plaque with
the four in a daze. Suspicious, Lu Xuanshuang took two steps forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man in blue turned around, and Lu Xuanshuang stared at him, momentarily stunned. She thought, "Is there such a handsome man in the world? Even my senior brother can't
compare !" This man looked to be in his early twenties, with extremely fair and delicate skin, a rosy complexion, and exceptionally handsome features. His eyebrows were arched, his nose was straight, and his eyes shone brightly. He
waved his folding fan, unable to conceal his dashing and debonair air.

Seeing this handsome man staring at her, Lu Xuanshuang blushed and thought to herself, "This man is so rude, staring at me the moment we meet. But
he is truly handsome, making it impossible not to..." She couldn't help but steal another glance.

The young man in blue said with a half-smile, "Miss Xiaoshuang, it's been a long time. You really are... hehe! You've become more and more beautiful."

Hearing the young man's melodious and charming voice, Lu Xuanshuang felt an indescribable comfort throughout her body. For a moment, she was completely lost in thought, not knowing what he had just said.
Seeing her bewildered expression, the young man in blue couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems Miss Xiaoshuang has truly forgotten me. That's understandable; we've only met once.
However ... hehe, I will make you remember me for a lifetime. Farewell..." With that, he turned and left, gradually disappearing into the crowd.

When Lu Xuanshuang saw his back, she had a vague feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen his back somewhere before, but
she couldn't it. Recalling the handsome face of the young man in blue, Lu Xuan Shuang felt a sweet warmth in her heart, thinking, "This man is truly handsome and dashing, so likable. It's just a pity I didn't have time to ask
his name before he left..." She sighed thoughtfully, then thought, "Even my senior brother is overshadowed... Ah!"

When she thought of Bai Shao Ding, her heart trembled, filled with immense regret: "How could I forget my senior brother as soon as I saw this man? Compared to him... hey!
My senior brother is still more manly."

That night, the "Wei Yuan Escort Agency" held a banquet. Everyone was toasting, playing drinking games, and chatting, creating a truly lively atmosphere. However, some people left
the bustling banquet and went to the quiet back garden.

A slender young woman squatted by the lotus pond, skipping pebbles across the water; a handsome young man also stood beside her,
smiling as he watched the pebbles bounce on the water and fall back down. They were none other than Bai Shaoding and Lu Xuanshuang, a perfect couple from the "Weiyuan Escort Agency."

When Bai Shaoding saw the small stone bounce five times on the water's surface before falling into the pool, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "Well done! Junior sister, it's only been two months, and your skill in
skipping has already surpassed mine. I remember I was the one who taught you when we were little!" Lu Xuanshuang stood up, suddenly let out a soft "woof," hugged Bai Shaoding's
body, and buried her face in his chest.

Bai Shaoding was startled at first, then his expression softened, and he said gently, "I haven't been by your side for the past two months, and I thought you were angry and wouldn't talk to me anymore."

Lu Xuanshuang slowly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked into Bai Shaoding's gentle eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "You... do you know
how ? I saw Father frowning every day, and I guessed that this escort mission was more dangerous than usual. I burned incense and prayed every day, praying that you would have a safe journey and that nothing would happen to you..."
As she spoke, tears rolled down her shapely face like broken pearls.

Bai Shaoding rolled up his sleeves and tenderly wiped away her tears, saying softly, "Silly girl, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? You're all grown up and still
crying, aren't you ashamed?"

Lu Xuanshuang pouted, "And you say that! Don't you think about how much I missed you? You just joined in their nonsense and made me... Humph!"

Bai Shaoding laughed, "Anyway, we're getting married soon, what's wrong with letting the brothers joke around?"

Lu Xuanshuang said shyly, "I... I'm embarrassed!" After saying that, she turned around and lowered her head without saying a word.

Bai Shaoding saw Lu Xuanshuang's shy and beautiful face reflected in the pond. Under the moonlight, she was truly breathtakingly beautiful; he smelled
the intoxicating fragrance of a maiden in her boudoir, and his heart fluttered. He couldn't help but hug her slender waist and gently kiss her pink cheek.

Lu Xuanshuang blushed instantly, unsure of what to do. Just then, Bai Shaoding pressed his handsome face against her soft, fragrant cheek and said
gently , "Junior Sister, do you know? Master just announced in public that after this mission, we'll be getting married.
Aren't you... happy?"

"Yes, I'm so happy. I really hope that day comes soon..." Lu Xuanshuang closed her eyes, savoring the sweet feeling, her face filled with
ecstasy . After a long while, Lu Xuanshuang broke free from his embrace, sat on a rock, and frowned silently.

Bai Shaoding placed his hands on her slender shoulders and said softly, "What's wrong now?"

Lu Xuanshuang sighed and said softly, "This mission is so important, Senior Brother, I'm so worried. If anything goes wrong on the way, then I..."

Bai Shaoding laughed and said, "Junior Sister, you're worrying too much. Think about it, we've been transporting goods all the way from the capital, thousands of miles away, and everything has been
peaceful and uneventful. Now we're escorting the goods to their destination, Guangzhou Prefecture in Guangdong. What's so difficult about that?"

Lu Xuanshuang said, "But, Senior Brother, don't you find it strange? In the past, when we were bodyguards, there were always a few bandits from mountain strongholds causing trouble; but this time,
with such valuable goods, how come everything has gone so smoothly?"

Bai Shaoding scratched his head and said, "That's a bit unusual. I'm also completely baffled. Perhaps it's because our sect is good at keeping secrets, or perhaps it's because our 'Weiyuan'..."
"The 'Escort Agency' sign scared away those bandits. Maybe..." Bai Shaoding chuckled, seemingly lost in thought.

Lu Xuanshuang asked, "What's so funny? Maybe what?"

Bai Shaoding said sheepishly, "Maybe you've been burning incense and praying for me every day, and Heaven was so moved that it blessed your husband, preventing you from
becoming a widow before even marrying me."

Lu Xuanshuang blushed and spat, "Who wants to marry you? If you die, I'll marry an even more handsome and dashing nobleman. I won't be
a widow for you!" As she spoke, the image of the young man in blue unconsciously surfaced in her mind again.

Bai Shaoding teased, "Oh? Is that so? Since you're not a virtuous wife, then I don't need to give you this treasure." He then took out a shiny
object .

Lu Xuanshuang asked curiously, "What is that? Let me see!" She snatched the object and saw that it was a golden five-phoenix pearl hairpin. The hairpin was sparkling, with
a dozen or so pearls dangling and swaying, extremely delicate and lovely.

Lu Xuanshuang scoffed, "It's just a hairpin, what's so precious about it? I have plenty of hairpins!"

Bai Shaoding said, "This is no ordinary hairpin! Take a closer look!" Hearing this, Lu Xuanshuang examined it carefully again.

Seeing her frowning frequently, unable to see anything amiss, Bai Shaoding shook his head and smiled, taking the hairpin and saying, "Junior sister, look carefully, there's a mechanism here."
As he spoke, he pressed on the first phoenix eye on the hairpin, and a flash of silver light appeared, and a gleaming short sword was drawn from the hairpin.

Seeing Lu Xuanshuang clapping and praising, Bai Shaoding smiled smugly and said, "But that's not all! Look!" He pressed on the second
phoenix eye a "clang," the blade suddenly extended into a three-foot-long sword.

Lu Xuanshuang gazed at the sword with curiosity and exclaimed in surprise, "So it's a sword hidden in a hairpin! How wonderful! Senior Brother, where did you find it?"

Bai Shaoding restored the sword to its original form and said, "I know you always like strange and novel things, and I've been thinking about what to give you on this trip back.
This time, while we were transporting goods, we visited a renowned old blacksmith in Kaifeng, Henan. Seeing him forge so many fine swords, I had an inspiration and asked
the old master to design and forge this 'sword hidden in a hairpin' for you. It's a beautiful ornament, and it can also scare away flies that like to buzz around you. I believe you'll like it
."

Lu Xuanshuang smiled inwardly, knowing that the flies Bai Shaoding mentioned referred to men who wanted to get close to her. Lu Xuanshuang was strikingly beautiful from a young age, and became even more
captivating as she grew older, earning her the title of "the most beautiful woman in Fuzhou Prefecture." Furthermore, her lively and outgoing personality meant she never shied away from the distinctions between men and women, attracting many men who used this as an excuse to get close to her. Although
Bai Shaoding was generally optimistic and easygoing, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous, so it wasn't surprising that his words carried a hint of envy.

Lu Xuanshuang nodded and said, "Yes, I like it very much. Actually, it's just an ordinary gold hairpin. As long as it's a gift from you, I... I like it very much."

Bai Shaoding felt a sweet warmth in his heart. He inserted the gold hairpin into her hair, stroked her delicate cheek, and said softly, "Junior sister,
you

are so beautiful. I hope you will wear this gold hairpin forever, no matter how old it gets, never take it off..." Lu Xuanshuang was deeply moved. She gazed tenderly into Bai Shaoding's gentle eyes and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will cherish it and
take good care of it. Even if it becomes old and worn, I will still love it wholeheartedly."

Bai Shaoding embraced her delicate body and said resolutely, "Junior sister, I swear, it will protect you and take good care of you, and will not let you suffer any
grievances." Their vows, full of double meanings, expressed their boundless affection.

Lu Xuanshuang felt incredibly happy, her delicate body nestled lazily in his arms, and she softly asked, "Senior Brother, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Bai Shaoding answered without hesitation, "If there's even the slightest lie, then use this hairpin-inlaid sword to chop off my head!"

Lu Xuanshuang shook her head and said, "If you're truly lying, I won't kill you, but I'm afraid I'll change my mind and wear a better hairpin instead."

Bai Shaoding smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance."

Faintly, the image of the blue-robed youth putting the hairpin on her head appeared in Lu Xuanshuang's mind. Lu Xuan Shuang felt extremely uneasy and quickly
broke free from Bai Shao Ding's embrace. She looked at Chi [a href=http://www.687bo.com target=_blank class=infotextkey>性掠埃, her expression turning grim.
Suddenly, Chi [a href=http://www.687bo.com target=_blank class=infotextkey>性掠熬褂 pointed at [a href=http://www.687bo.com target=_blank class=infotextkey>性掠熬褂, her gaze sweeping over ...
