Chapter 434: Passing Pingyang
A candle flame is flickering, and in front of a bronze mirror, a beautiful face is shining.
At this moment, Mrs. Xiu has taken off her veil and presented her beautiful face in the bronze mirror, with a shy and lustful attitude, charming and graceful, slender jade hands, holding her face, and seems to have fallen into an inexplicable infatuation.
She is not wavering, but she is making waves at the moment, all because of the words of the alien man.
Maybe it was a little impulsive at that moment, she blurted out: "If the son is willing to come to the horse village, Qingxiu will definitely wait for him." ”
Yes, she accidentally said her maiden name, which can only be known by her family or future husband, but when the man was about to leave, she was a little reluctant in her heart.
Chaos and panic, this time when transporting food, she had long put life and death aside, but the alien man fell from the sky and saved the lives of the whole caravan, from that moment on, the man's face was firmly imprinted in her heart, and when she thought of it inadvertently, there would be a faint warmth and a rare sweetness.
"What's wrong with me?" muttered to herself, but the woman didn't dare to give an answer.
"I am an ominous person, how dare I have extravagant hopes, in the end I will only harm others, he is a good man, how can I harm him. An inexplicable breath of pity instantly enveloped the lady, only to see her, slowly picked up the veil, covering her face, no matter how beautiful it is, in this world, beauty is just a scourge, she has already accepted her fate.
The next day, the speed of the convoy was much faster than usual, because Binh Duong was close at hand, everyone was thinking of home, and at this moment, the convoy was safe, and they could finally come back alive to see their loved ones.
Although their destination is Handan, there is still a long way to go, but Pingyang is already within the territory of Zhao State, and there is no longer any need to worry about the attack of the Qin army, let alone have to worry about sleeping and getting up.
The farmland, the cottages, the black smoke, the dogs, and the Chu River did not expect that it would be so kind.
"Childe, it's here, we've arrived in Pingyang City, we've finally arrived in Pingyang City. Tian Er came out of the car window, excited, at a loss, trying to find a way to vent.
In the distance, a huge city appeared in front of everyone, and everyone in the convoy had a kind of joy that they had survived the catastrophe, even if it was Steward Liu, Zhao Hu and others, they all showed excited looks, and it was great to be able to come back alive.
A few war horses galloped from afar.
The war horse stopped in front of Madame's carriage, and the general who led the troops flew off his horse, bowed and saluted, and shouted: "I haven't seen Changfeng, I've seen Mrs. Xiu, Mrs. Xiu has worked hard all the way, there is news from Handan, the food is tight, please ask Mrs. Xiu to speed up the journey, and send this batch of grain and grass to Handan as soon as possible to save the people." ”
"Mrs. Ben knows, Steward Liu. ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
"Inform the convoy not to stop, pass through Binh Duong City, and continue on the road. ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"Mrs. Show. The general bowed down again, and was greatly moved by Mrs. Xiu's righteous act, at the time of the country's survival, there are a few people who can be like Mrs. Xiu, help each other, not afraid of hardships and dangers, but unfortunately, the national building will fall, even if there is this batch of grain and grass, it may not be able to save the fate of Zhao State.
The convoy continued to set off, so that these excited caravans were very disappointed, they must have come back all the way, and finally entered the town, everyone wanted to rest and comfort the wounded heart, but the order of the lady, no one dared to disobey, so they had to cross the city without stopping, and continue to move towards Handan.
In the car, the excited Tian Er also withered down in an instant, with a small face, astringent helplessness, and then leaned his head on Chu He's body, and said faintly: "I bought back so much grain in nine lives, and I didn't see any rewards, so I knew that these people were too much." ”
Chu He stretched out his hand, hugged the little woman's waist, and comforted him with a soft smile: "The state affairs are difficult, the war is tight, and there is nothing to be done, okay, when you get to Handan, you can have a good rest." ”
Tian'er's closeness to Chu River will not resist now, on the contrary, he took the initiative to stick tighter, squeezing Linglong's body into Gongzi's arms, seeking comfort.
"Childe, you really want to go to Handan, I heard the news, now the army of the Qin State is attacking Handan, and the war there is bound to be tragic----" When she spoke, she seemed to be a little hesitant, yes, she didn't want Chu He to go to a dangerous place like Handan, but she didn't want to be separated from her wife and be in a dilemma.
Chu He patted the little woman's back and said, "Don't worry, no matter how dangerous the place is, no one can stop me, since I was born, I have to experience everything in the world, I promised my wife to protect her safety, of course, I will do what I say." ”
Tian Er twisted his body, faced each other, and said, "Childe, if you leave, can you take Madame with you?"
Chu He was a little helpless and said, "Will she be willing?"
Listening to the woman's tone, she decided to live and die with the country, and the fall of the Zhao State was doomed, so he had the heart to save people, but he couldn't save the people who wanted to die.
"Childe, as long as Mrs. likes you, Mrs. will definitely be willing to leave with you, and when the night stops, Childe might as well make another good meal and please Mrs. ”
Chu He was speechless, glanced at Tian'er and asked, "It can't be Tian'er's own greed, right?"
Tian Er's face turned red, glanced at Chu He, and said, "Son, people are thinking about you, Mrs. is such a peerless beauty, cheap son." ”
At this time, the convoy suddenly stopped, and Steward Liu came to the front of the car and said: "Young Master Chu, Madame instructed, stop for an hour, let everyone rest, if you need to buy something, it is best to hurry up, after an hour, the convoy will leave on time." ”
The grain cart did not stop, and continued to move forward, because their speed could not be fast, but the carriage of people could stop and rest for an hour, presumably to satisfy the wishes of some people, and then speed up a little to catch up with the grain team.
The withered field immediately came back to life.
As soon as he pulled Chu He's hand, he shouted: "Childe, we can rest, quick, call the water, let's walk around, these days, but it's stuffy." ”
Chu He's connivance made this woman enjoy the vitality of youth more and more, but it also made her more beautiful.
Pingyang City is a big city for Zhao State, but it is a pity that it has endured wars and is not prosperous.
In the small shop, a pot of tea, Chu He and Mrs. Xiu sat opposite each other, and Shui'er and Tian'er stood aside.
Picking up the tea and pouring a cup for Chu He, Mrs. Xiu said with a little apology: "The war in Handan is urgent, and the convoy can't stay here for a long time, please forgive Gongzi Chu, we need to speed up the trip and rush back as soon as possible, but Mrs. Ben promised Gongzi that when she arrives in Handan, she will definitely entertain Gongzi well." ”
Chu He actually knew that a small grain team could not save the fate of the fall of the Zhao State, but Mrs. Xiu's patriotic heart was touching, so Chu He did not persuade again, just raised his glass, took a sip, and said: "It's okay, since you promised Mrs., Chu will naturally protect Mrs. and return to Handan safely." ”
Seeing that Chu He did not mention the topic of leaving, Mrs. Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, she was really worried that Chu He would leave, in her heart, she regarded Chu He as a kind of support, no matter how strong she was, she was also a woman, and she naturally needed to be cared for.
After having a cold time with Mrs. Xiu, Chu He was ready to take a walk around the neighborhood and feel the style of the ancient city, but unfortunately, he was pulled by Tian'er to go shopping, and of course there was one more follower, that is, Shui'er.
It seems that Mrs. Xiu is very good to her subordinates.
This woman, no matter what era she is, seems to be full of interest in shopping, although there are too few materials here, pitifully few, but for the fields and water, she is very excited.
This one is good-looking, that one is good-looking, and I can't help but scream, but I don't buy any of them, it's purely addictive.
Chu He wanted to pay the bill for them, but unfortunately, he was penniless.
Steward Liu came later, his steps were hurried, Chu He turned around, thinking that something had happened to his wife, but he didn't expect that Steward Liu handed over a bag and said: "Young Master Chu, Madam asked the old man to send some money, what does the young man want, just buy it, don't be polite." ”
Chu He was really not polite, took the bag, opened it and saw that there were really a lot of silver in it.
Steward Liu left consciously and did not disturb Yaxing in Chuhe.
Chu He took the hands of the two women and said, "Let's go, now that my son is rich, buy everything you liked just now, and be my gift to you." ”
The two girls were a little at a loss, especially Shui'er, their faces were blushing, and they resisted in a low voice: "Childe, this, this is not okay, this is the money that Madame gave you, how can we use it?"
"Yes, Childe, in the future, you will need to spend money when you walk in all directions, and you will save this money for future troubles. ”
Chu He didn't give the two girls a chance to refuse, and bought the few hand ornaments and objects they had just taken a fancy to.
They were so scared that they didn't dare to go any further.
The women of this era are so simple that Chu He can't help but want to love them more.
The two girls returned with a full load, very excited, with these gifts, even Shui'er was much closer to him, or for a girl with a humble status like her, it was rare to meet a man who didn't care about her identity, and was willing to buy her gifts.
If it weren't for the duty to wait for the lady, she would have promised herself.
An hour later, the car set off again, in fact, it was supposed to rest in Pingyang City for one night, but in order to hurry up and return to Handan as soon as possible, so I gave up.
"Madam, you see, these are all gifts from Master Chu to me, it's not beautiful, Master Chu is really good. ”
The son couldn't hold back his excitement, and put the gift in front of his wife for her to watch, and his mood seemed to be very excited.
Mrs. Xiu looked at Shui'er's appearance, sighed lightly, and said, "Shui'er, do you want to give you to Chu Gongzi too, I think you seem to like Chu Gongzi's appearance very much." ”
There was an impulse for a moment, but Shui'er immediately shook her head and said: "Sister Tian'er has already left, if Shui'er leaves again, won't there be no one waiting for Madame, Shui'er will not leave, Shui'er will wait for Madame? ”
Mrs. Xiu stretched out her hand, stroked Shui'er's head, and said: "The million-strong army of the Qin State is now surrounding Handan, once the capital is broken, the subjects of the entire Zhao State will be wiped out, how can Mrs. Ben bear to let Shui'er die with her, if you are really forced to do so, I will definitely beg Gongzi Chu to take you away." ”
Hearing this, Shui'er was about to cry, and said urgently: "Unless Mrs. goes with her, Shui Er will not leave Mrs. if she dies." ”
