Chapter 375: The Dust Has Not Settled
The rain had finally stopped in the morning light, but the drops of water on the leaves still slid down with the breeze that blew from time to time, hitting the wet ground, and then disappeared into the soft earth for a moment.
The woods on the east and west sides of the Imperial Guards garrison were silent at the moment, and the foraging birds fluttered their wings from time to time, making the dead silence fade slightly. The sound of footsteps was slowly approaching, and when the scene that had been washed away by the heavy rain and faded into view, the little marquis's eyes suddenly closed, he took a long breath, and stopped in place.
"Little Hou Ye!" Bai Ze gently patted him on the shoulder beside him, and said: "We are forced to do so, more than 3,000 men and horses to meet the other party, if it weren't for you and General Mo to make preparations, I'm afraid, it is our Imperial Forest Army who is here now." ”
"Now it's only a few thousand, if in the future, when they come to the battlefield, ......" The words in the mouth of the little marquis paused, he raised his head a little sadly, the overlapping corpses not far away made him extremely uncomfortable, he didn't see the dead, and it wasn't that he hadn't witnessed the cruelty of the war, he just didn't value these people, because the place where they fell was not a battlefield to defend against foreign enemies, even if they died, they were all traitors who wouldn't even have a grave.
"I want to be quiet alone, you help General Mo clean up the mess, the Dragon Mansion-"
"General Bai has already led the troops, and the little marquis will stay at ease for a while, there is us here. ”
"There are soldiers who have died in battle, they should be well buried, their target this time is me, and it is I who has burdened everyone. After speaking, the little marquis sighed, turned away, Bai Ze stood in place and looked at his departing back, and muttered: "I'm afraid, I can't help myself, little marquis, what we will face in the future is still long." ”
There were still countless corpses hanging upside down on the whole row of spike flaps, Bai Ze put the rope down and walked to the corpses, only to find that due to the impact force, many of the corpses had been blurred with flesh and blood, and they were miserable. Walking further, standing beside the deep pit that was still full of spikes, everyone couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"It was born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, with this determination to die, why don't you go into battle to fight the enemy, but you want to follow the Wu family and his son to stir up this Great Jin world, I don't know if it's sad or hateful!" Bai Ze beckoned everyone to start cleaning up the corpses, this whole forest was full of deadly traps, because it was expected that the other party would take action, it was because everyone was prepared in advance, sure enough, Lin Shangyao sent someone to inform General Mo to transfer troops to fight the torrent, and the little marquis knew that they would do it in less than two days, and in order to wipe out the three forces and not let them be suspicious, the western Sichuan army still came out of the barracks, and there were indeed only a thousand people left around the little marquis at that time. Thinking of this, Bai Ze couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, hundreds of people were divided between the east and west, and the people that the little marquis was carrying at that time were less than two hundred......
Fingertips brushed over the small repeater carts, and the sun was already shining brightly in the sky, and the mist was clear, refracted by the steam, making the whole forest dazzlingly bright. The little marquis stood quietly beside the ballista, looked back at the direction of the time, and then took a deep breath and walked towards the outside of the forest, his steps changed from slow to urgent, and then faster and faster, and finally jumped and disappeared in an instant.
"Childe, we're here!"
Xian Yi pointed to the city wall at the foot of the mountain and shouted happily, "Yunling City!"
Standing flawlessly, looking at the rows of houses and the rolling streets, he nodded and said, "Let's go into the city." ”
The guards at the city gate were a little loose, and the people waiting to enter the city lined up in a long line, and the soldiers on guard lazily picked and rummaged over the items that the people carried, and then let them go impatiently. Flawless and Xian Yinangong looked at each other for a moment, and then looked around as if carelessly, and when they arrived, those guards all looked around, and their faces showed undisguised greed.
The three people in front of him are obviously not Yunling people, what they are not wearing masks is a handsome man and a glamorous little woman, the clothes on the body can be seen at a glance to be the best color, and the face is covered with a mask, dressed in white, the body is slender, and the feeling is very weak, the mask is so dazzling in the sun that people can't look at it directly, the jujube red horse he is holding in his hand has a slight mane in the morning breeze, and the horse's hooves make a clattering sound, majestic, and it is actually a sweaty and bloody horse.
Get rich! Those people smiled and spread their hands, and said, "What are you doing in the city? Are there people you know well in this Yunling City?"
Seeing Xianyi's body move, Nangong Rehe hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her, took a few steps forward, smiled, and said: "We are passing by Yunling to go to Yunhe, and I heard that Yunling Tongruo Temple is famous, so our son-in-law wants to go into the city to worship." ”
"Childe?" A guard stretched out his hand and pushed Nangong Rehe away, raised his eyes to look flawless, and said: "Isn't this face of your son-in-law unsightly? Why do you want to cover it with a mask, it is said that there have been many bandits recently, and the boss said that we should strictly investigate and not let go of any suspicious characters, come, take off the mask and let the master take a look, to see if it is a wanted criminal." The man turned back and frowned at his companions, and everyone laughed and gathered around.
"You-" Xian Yi hatefully pushed Nangong Rehe, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly heard Flawless and whispered: "Girl, don't mess around, we are just here to worship the Buddha, not to cause trouble, besides, the big brothers of the official mission must not be people who don't know right from wrong, they are worried that we are bandits......" The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he reached out flawlessly to take off the mask, and raised his eyes to look at the people in front of him: "Let's let them compare it with the notice of the government, they have done errands, and we are also free to enter and exit, wouldn't it be wrong for the two." ”
Xianyi looked at the guards who were stunned for a moment, and looked at their eyes that seemed to be about to fall, and I really wanted to step forward and pick off a few. Flawless has put on the mask again, the smile on the corner of his mouth still did not dissipate, and he only said softly to those guards: "You officials have also seen it, but there is a portrait wanted by the imperial court corresponding to me, if not, please let us into the city, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, it is really a little unbearable." ”
"Goo-dong-" The guards swallowed their saliva desperately, and before they could speak, Xian Yi had already grabbed a handful of silver from his baggage, walked to the leader and buckled it on him, and said: "It's okay to dodge away, our son-in-law is weak, and he can't withstand the scorching sun. As he spoke, Xian Yi couldn't hide his disgust for those people, but fortunately, those people were shocked by their flawless appearance, and they got such some silver taels for no reason, so they naturally let go of their bodies with joy.
Flawless nodded slightly at the two of them, did not get on the horse, only reached out and pulled the reins and entered the city.
When the figures of the three faded out of sight, the guards came back to their senses, secretly divided the silver, and then thought for a while, and sighed: "It's a pity that it's a man, if it's a woman, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country and the people." ”
Flawless took Xian Yi and Nangong Rehe to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, the largest inn in Yunling City, Xian Yi paused, looked around, and then found that there was a peach blossom carved on the wall outside the inn, and couldn't help but be happy, and said, "Childe!"
Flawless followed her gaze, nodded and said, "Go in, Brother Zuo, they have already arrived." ”
The three of them entered the inn, and Ghost Wing was already sitting in the lobby waiting, and when he saw them entering the door, he hurriedly greeted them: "Childe is here, sit down and rest for a while, the room is ready, Brother Zuo They haven't returned yet, Childe can go to the room to freshen up first." ”
Flawless smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go take a shower and change clothes first, this day and night, it's really dirty." Ghost Yi looked tired when he saw him, knowing that they were rushing day and night, and hurriedly took them upstairs, Xian Yi put down his things and went to Zhang Luo to boil the bath water with the little second brother, but after the little second brother delivered the water and Xian Yi entered the door, he found that Flawless was crooked and leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.
"Shhh
He is too tired, and it is not easy for his body to be able to support him like this, so let him sleep for a while, because after Zuo Yu comes back, everyone will have to face something, and I don't know what kind of situation it will be......
"Childe is asleep?" Seeing that Xian Yi went out again, Nangong Rehe also walked downstairs.
"He's too tired, let him sleep, and when Big Brother Zuo comes back, let's wake him up." ”
"Girl—"
As he was talking, Xian Yi heard a clear male voice from downstairs, his face was happy, Xian Yi leaned out at the corner and looked down, and then said happily: "Brother Zuo!"
The crimson ran downstairs like a swallow, and then threw herself straight into the arms of a plainly dressed man.
"Brother Zuo, I miss you to death. ”
Zuo Yu smiled and pulled Xian Yi, looked up and down, and said: "Grow up, girl, why are you still the same as when you were a child, you pounced on me when you saw me, you are a big girl now, if you let your sweetheart see it, you should be angry." ”
Xian Yi's face turned red when he heard this, and he stomped his feet and said: "Why did Brother Zuo make fun of me as soon as they met, what kind of sweetheart, I only follow my son and don't marry in my life, and I'll be annoyed if I say it." ”
Nangong Rehe was still standing at the top of the stairs, and his heart hurt by her words, and his face was unconsciously ugly.
Zuo Yu smiled and pinched the tip of Xianyi's nose, and then looked up at Nangong Rehe, who was standing stunned.
"Is that kid with you?Why do you look a little unhappy?" Zuo Yu clasped his fists at Nangong Rehe and said, "In Xia Zuo Yu, what is your Excellency's name." ”
Xian Yi glanced back at Nangong Rehe, knowing that what he said just now must have been listened to by him, and he didn't explain, he just walked up to Ghost Wing and sat down, Ghost Yi saw the two of them like that, knew that there must be a mystery in it, and didn't break it, so he just smiled and poured a cup of tea, but before he could reach his mouth, he was grabbed by Xian Yi and drank it all.
What is "In Xia Nangong Rehe, is it ......"? Nangong Rehe instantly found that his identity was so embarrassing, he was not a person from Gongzi, and the relationship between the little marquis and Gongzi was not known to many people, and the position of the two of them was so delicate, I don't know how the people around Gongzi thought about it, and after saying his name, he didn't know how to introduce his identity for a long time.
Zuo Yu saw that he was embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing and raised his hand, and said: "It's okay, the children of the rivers and lakes don't ask where they come from, since they came with Gongzi, they are Zuo Yu's friends, come down, sit down and have a drink." ”
Nangong Rehe saw that he was so bold, and if he twisted again, he would be a big husband, so he went downstairs, and returned a salute to Zuo Yu, saying: "Brother Zuo is quick to talk, Nangong Rehe admires." ”
"Come, sit down and talk, don't be inhibited. ”
After a few people sat down, Xian Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there any whereabouts for that thing?"
Zuo Yu turned around and looked around, leaned together, and said in a low voice: "Just in this Yunling City, all of our people will enter the city tonight." The Long family is just an outbreak merchant entrenched in Lin'an, thinking that relying on the Wu father and son can run rampant, Lin'an is the place where the son develops financial resources, only because he is afraid that the force is too complicated and he did not arrange too many people, but he unexpectedly let the son be wronged there, and when I heard the ghost wing talk about this, our people hated to kill back to Lin'an immediately, and gave this evil breath for the son. ”
"Brother Zuo's temper is still so short-tempered, he hasn't seen him for many years, and he really hasn't changed. A whisper came, and everyone looked back to see that Flawless had already arrived downstairs, standing behind everyone with a smile.
Zuo Yu Huo Ran got up, and when he arrived in front of Flawless, he first shook respectfully, and his grinning expression instantly became solemn, and his voice involuntarily revealed a softness when he looked at the person as a child: "Childe, I haven't seen you for many years, you are finally here!"
Tomorrow's preview: "Lord Zhang, our master asked me to speak for him, and ask Lord Zhang, after so many years, have you ever learned to swim?"
"You—your master...... Who is it?"
Hearing this, Nangong Rehe took a few steps forward, stepped on the hem of Zhang Dakai's clothes, and refused to let go even if he struggled on the ground: "It's your little ancestor, the little marquis of Chengle, Meng-Bai-Yan!"
