Chapter 121: Zhen'an
Zhen'an, the jurisdiction of Xicheng County, Hanzhong County.
When Li Ying and his entourage arrived in Zhen'an, it was already noon, and the sun was fierce. The team rested in Zhen'an, and Li Ying got out of the carriage and shuttled through the bustling crowd.
Needle Yu followed.
The snow has long since stopped. The children are all playing in the snow, building snowmen, and throwing snowballs.
Li Ying stood quietly on the side, watching the children lively.
"Master, let's go up to the teahouse and sit down. Brother Tie San has already gone to ask for a sedan chair, let's wait. Needle Yu persuaded that the teahouse had been explored by Mr. Wenlu a long time ago, and there were people from the Li family in it.
Li Ying followed Needle Yu into the teahouse, and Needle Yu negotiated with the shopkeeper. The teahouse was full of people inside and out, and a team of people who greeted their relatives rested outside.
"I said, Second Brother Gu, the brothers are already tired, this is still five miles away from Qingteng Pass, how can the brothers survive!" said a short and clever little brother.
"Little brother, let's not stop in the restaurant, you go and order food, so that the brothers can eat and drink. Wait a while, and you'll have energy. The man known as Second Brother Gu said. "When you send the bride safely to Zaoyang, I will process the money for you. ”
The little brother hurriedly thanked him, "Then I will thank Second Brother Gu on behalf of the brothers." ”
"There is another thing, the bride is scared in Zhashui, don't spread the word, let your brothers cover their mouths!"
"The little one knows that this is also a matter of our net worth. Hey, it's not a good thing to run into officers and soldiers......"
Li Ying was pulled by someone, and she was startled.
"Master, I've called you several times, why are you stunned here?"
Li Ying came back to his senses, "Oh!" followed Needle Yu to the private room on the second floor.
Coincidentally, the bride was in the box next to Li Ying.
When this gossip came together, Li Ying's heart was itching, what happened to this bride in Zhashui? Li Ying looked at the dishes arranged by Needle Yu on the table, and had no appetite.
"Master, come and taste it, the food is almost cold. Needle Yu greeted.
I opened my eyes and told nonsense, the food had just been served, and it was still steaming. After taking a look at the food, Li Ying decided to eat it first.
Drink a steaming bowl of chicken soup for a refreshing experience. Eat another hot chicken leg for great satisfaction.
Li Ying burped contentedly and walked over to the white wall. Thanks to the poor sound insulation of the teahouse, the sound of the next door is faintly heard. Still didn't really hear it, Li Ying picked up a piece of paper casually, rolled it up, pasted it on the wall, and listened carefully.
Needle Yu has also finished lunch and packed up everything, Miss looks like this, Needle Yu is very puzzled. "Master, what are you doing here?"
Li Ying glared at Needle Yu angrily, did your mother teach you not to disturb others when listening to gossip.
Needle Yu was confused, and under the power of the angry glare, he chose to shut up and retreat.
Heaven pays off, Li Ying finally heard what she wanted to know.
"The bride...... Don't be afraid, we're already far away from those people......" The bride kept comforting the little bride.
The crying was loud and small, "Those people...... Iron armor, just lift my headscarf,...... Vicious. Fortunately, I met the ...... with a long pole with a tiger's head and a long pole, and his voice was delicate, and he would be soft when he heard it.
The tiger's head and long pole are not the soldiers of Liu Huan, the king of Changsha?
Li Ying couldn't sit still, "Needle Yu, go and inquire about what happened to the bride next door in Zhashui?"
Needle Yu smiled, "Master, you sit down, I'll tell you." "Needle Yu has already learned about the situation from the shopkeeper.
The bride's carriage was passing through Zhashui when it encountered a local hooligan ruffian and the carriage was overturned. Fortunately, someone passed by and saved the bride.
Just now, Li Ying made up the story in his brain, which is roughly the same as what Needle Yu said. However, Needle Yu did not mention the details, and the good Samaritan was holding a tiger head and a long pole. Li Ying had entered Liu Huan's mansion before, and his personal soldiers were holding a long pole with a tiger's head. Li Ying really wished she had thought about it more, but the facts were in front of her.
"Master, what's wrong?" Needle Yu asked, why is Miss Li Ying so interested in this bride, could it be that Miss Li already has the heart to be married, and what happened to the poor bride?
"Have you ever heard of it", Li Ying stopped abruptly and asked what is the use of Needle Yu, who is obsessed with martial arts and does not listen to things outside the window. "You let Triathlon come to me!"
Faced with the master's desire to speak, he was puzzled, but the master called the third brother Tie again. She believed that Tie San would be able to answer her master's question, so she rushed to find Tie San, leaving Li Ying alone in the box of the room.
Li Ying looked at the back of Needle Yu leaving, rubbing the soft sword at his waist, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tie San saw that Needle Yu was alone, and his heart was not good, so he didn't wait for Needle Yu to speak, "What about the master?"
"Oh, my master just asked me to come to you!" replied.
"Why do you leave your master alone in the restaurant!" Tie San frowned, "You want to never leave your master!" Without waiting for needle Yu to defend, Tie San hurried to the restaurant.
Needle Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly followed the footsteps of Tie San.
When I arrived at the box, I found that there was no one inside, and the needle Yu was deserted at the moment, and the iron was blue on the three faces.
With a "boom", Li Ying jumped down from the beam, "You're here!"
"Master, you're scared of me!" Needle Yu, who is usually strong, is about to cry at the moment.
Li Ying didn't expect this floor, scratched his head and explained, "I'm not afraid of any situation, so I'll go to the beam of the house to hide first." Seeing Tie San, he hurriedly said, "I have something to discuss with you." ”
The three of them sat on the seat, and Li Ying said, "Have you heard about the bride?"
Triathlon nodded.
"You may not know that the person who saved the bride may be Liu Huan's person. I just heard the bride talk to Xi Po, saying that the person with the tiger's head and long pole saved them. The long pole of the tiger head is a weapon used by the soldiers of Liu Huan, the king of Changsha. Li Ying analyzed, "Liu Huan, it's around here." ”
Needle Yu listened with his mouth wide open, and he really didn't know anything.
"The master is right, indeed, we found traces of the king of Changsha nearby. Tie San frowned, "If we go to Qingteng Pass as originally planned, we may meet the King of Changsha." "In the face of the fierce generals of the King of Changsha, Tie San was not sure to send Li Ying's full beard and tail to Yingdu.
Li Ying smiled, "I have an idea to avoid Liu Huan. ”
Tie San looked like he was listening.
"I still went to Qingteng Pass as originally planned, but the people in the sedan chair were replaced by others. I hid in the bride's wedding team, and they also went to Qingteng Pass. ”
Tetsuzo pondered for a moment, "Yes, but let Needle Yu follow you." ”
"Needle Yu follows me, this thing is not really tiring. Li Ying took a sip of tea, "Everyone knows that Needle Yu is close to me." Needle Yu followed the sedan chair, and Liu Huan would believe it. Li Ying patted his chest again, "Don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself." ”
After a long time, Tie San nodded, and he would send someone to follow Li Ying quietly.
