The back wall of Guizhou Mansion is extremely high, and there are no trees, flowers and plants around it that can be relied on, and there is nothing to climb. He Yaqing, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, pressed his hand on the wall, but found that the bluestone brick wall was brushed with a layer of mud, although it was not smooth, but there was no place for nests and pits, so that he couldn't find a place to put his feet.

He thought about it, took a few steps back, and planned to step on the wall with the momentum of the start and turn over, but before he could exert his strength, a voice next to him suddenly sounded, and said, "Young Master of the He family, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

He Yaqing was so frightened that his feet twisted, and turned his head, but it was Zhang Bi standing not far away with a smile, the other party was holding a lantern in his hand, but the candle in the lantern was not lit. Before He Yaqing could answer, Zhang Bi said again: "The young master of the He family should go back and rest, my old lady and girl have temporarily decided to go to the Li River tomorrow, and they are looking for you, who knows that you have already slept here, and it just so happens that you are meeting now, so you don't need to talk about it tomorrow." ”

After finishing speaking, he pretended that he didn't know anything, and escorted He Yaqing back to the room.

He Yaqing didn't know where he had leaked the news, although he could swim the Li River with Zhou Qin tomorrow, but what he wanted was not to travel together for a day, but to get along for a long time. If you want to go from the right path, you must have military merits, and only then can you have such a glimmer of hope, he originally planned to rush tonight and overnight, striving to catch up with the team of the protector of the country the day after tomorrow, and strive to sell himself to his future uncle.

Fortunately, he has a hearty temperament and never gets into the horns, and since he has been caught, he has a good night's sleep.

Woken up by his subordinates early the next morning, He Yaqing changed her clothes and went to greet Mrs. Zhao.

As soon as they entered the door, the grandfather and grandson were already talking inside.

When Zhou Qin saw him coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Third Brother He slept well last night, didn't he fall?" ”

He Yaqing blushed and whispered, "Where did Sister Zhou think of going......

Old Madam Zhao smiled and said, "You are a little petty ghost, why are you playing tricks on others, I asked you to send someone to serve the He family's junior, but you just didn't let him, and you had to run out for him and then ask someone to stop him, if something went wrong, how would you end up?" He glanced at Zhou Qin and said, "Go, don't you apologize to the third brother of the He family!" ”

He Yaqing only then knew that his plan yesterday had already been known to others, and he only felt extremely embarrassed.

But seeing Zhou Qin walking towards him vividly, he was blessed, smiled very happily, and said: "Third brother He is not angry, the situation in Yongzhou is unknown, and Guizhou is only temporarily stable, the second uncle and brother have already gone to Yongzhou, leaving only me and my grandmother in Guizhou. I also hope that Third Brother He will think about it and stay in Guizhou to take good care of our ancestors and grandchildren. ”

Her words sounded completely from her own point of view, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was to save face for He Yaqing and set up a ladder to get him off the stage. He Yaqing listened to her soft words, although she knew that she was just coaxing herself, but she felt sweet in her heart, and said secretly: That's it, the so-called hero is sad about the beauty, although he is not a hero, it is normal to be hard against the person he likes...... Now that it has come to this point, I can only talk about it later, thinking about the benefits, if I can make Mrs. Zhao feel reliable in this period of time, and please Zhou Qin's sister, it can be regarded as a gain.

As for fame...... I just beg my father to see that he is sincere in his words, and he is bent on making a profit, not to force him to return to Beijing with a letter, if he can follow the protector to earn a future, he will not live up to his own coming here for a while.

The three of them had breakfast and went out together, and soon arrived at the edge of the Li River.

Zhou Yan went south to Yongzhou, in order to appease the worries of the people in Guizhou, Mrs. Zhao invited the officials and wives of the government to be guests yesterday and listened to a play.

Taking Zhou Qin out today, ostensibly to swim the Li River with great fanfare, in fact, it was to show the officials and people in the city that all the situation was still under the control of the Protector of the Kingdom, Zhou Yan's mother and niece were in Guizhou, and they were still having fun with peace of mind, everything was the same as before, neither planned to hide inland, nor did they shrink in the mansion and dare not come out.

He Yaqing didn't understand the meaning of this, until he saw Mrs. Zhao going around the farthest road with great fanfare, bringing many guards, and walking around most of Guizhou City before he arrived at the riverside.

He secretly sighed, feeling that not only marching and fighting is a profound knowledge, but also has many noteworthy skills, so he paid more attention to the words and deeds of Old Madam Zhao.

A few people went down the river, and when they saw that it was close to noon, they stopped at a temple on the way, intending to go inside to rest for a while, and then return to the city by land.

Although the temple was small, it was clean, and there were only four or five resident monks in it, and two or three people were sitting around a table, eating a small pot of green vegetables and tofu bibimbap.

Zhang Bi went to do it first, and invited an old monk to come out to talk to Mrs. Zhao, Zhou Qin saw that there was a tree behind the temple that was blooming very well, and there was no one in the backyard, so he stepped out to appreciate the osmanthus flowers.

That early laurel needs to be embraced by one person, I don't know how many years it has been planted, and the flowers are dotted with dots. The fragrance of osmanthus has always been strong, and Zhou Qin stood for a while, and was about to go back, but he heard someone whispering behind the back wall.

One person's voice was more vicissitudes, "I have been traveling all over the world for more than 30 years, and it is the first time I have seen such an interesting thing. The old monk called him in to sit down, and he didn't want anything from him, but when he saw that he was also a disciple of Buddhism, he invited him to eat a bowl of rice, and they were good, like a fire burning their butts, running faster than a rabbit, and they didn't know how to say a kind word. ”

Another person smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, you said that we came from Liuzhou this way, how many people have fled from the same door?" One or two who don't know anything is normal. ”

It turned out to be two monks from Youfang who were talking.

Zhou Qin hurriedly retreated.

After only a few sips of water in the temple and a little sitting, the three of them set off for the city.

Old Madam Zhao and Zhou Qin took carriages respectively, He Yaqing rode horses, and dozens of guards accompanied them marched towards Guizhou.

Halfway through, Zhou Qin saw a large laurel tree on the side of the road, and there were more than ten of them that bloomed a handful of flowers, and the flowers were yellow and white, very small, so he lifted the curtain and prepared to take a closer look.

She originally intended to look at the flowers, but inadvertently, she saw two monks walking on the side of the road, both carrying bags, covered in dust, their clothes were very worn, and the shoes on their feet were still six or seven points new. When they saw the group, one of them panicked and pulled the other's sleeve, and the two of them glanced at the convoy and gave way to the side of the road.

Zhou Qin always felt that these two monks were a little weird, but he couldn't say anything wrong. (To be continued.) )
