23. He had an accident (second watch)
"Bastard!" Tao Zhimo gritted his teeth and turned over on the horse, "Dafu is not in this time, please take care of the old and young in the family!" Take care! ”
"Brother!"
"Brother Daifuku!"
As soon as she got on the horse, the child behind her burst into tears.
"Good! You guys have to listen to your parents! Tao Zhimo hurriedly finished speaking, and then rode her horse to follow, she had already made it clear to them that she should explain.
Damn, this bearded man seems to be able to catch her in the dead hole easily, and always cures her to death in a sentence or two!
Mo Wangnan, who was in front, heard that Tao Zhimo and the Dusk Yu sisters were following, and sped up again, and soon opened a short distance from Tao Zhimo. Tao Zhimo didn't want to get too close to him, so he and Twilight Caiwei followed not far behind.
During this time, several people stopped to rest two or three times. When the sun was about to set, several people had already arrived at the gate of Baoying County, but he did not go out of the city gate, but stopped, "There is no inn out of the city, rest here for one night tonight, and then hurry tomorrow morning." ”
Tao Zhimo also knew that Xuzhou was not as prosperous as Yanzhou, so he agreed.
The four of them opened three rooms, and after opening the room, Mo Forget went south to his room and did not come down for a night. When Twilight Yu called him for dinner, he didn't go downstairs to eat, but asked Xiao Er to deliver the food.
Tao Zhimo had no objection, she didn't want to eat with him, she was angry when she saw this beard.
In the next few days, except for the necessary words on the road, he didn't say much, and it was also the twilight sisters who asked her for advice, and almost never said a word to her alone, as if he deliberately kept a certain distance from her. This made Tao Zhimo feel that he was a lot more pleasing to the eye, but he felt that it seemed a little strange that he couldn't say.
"Fu Gongzi, we are going out of Guangling County, and it will take about two days to get to Pingyuan County. This road will be a little desolate, and I am afraid that I will not find a place to stay. "Do you think you should stop and find an inn to rest first or go straight out of the city?" ”
Tao Zhimo thought for a while, if he went out of the city, he would have to travel in the wilderness for two or three days, so he naturally had to buy good food first, and it was estimated that it would be dusk after shopping, so he said: "Then let's rest here for one night today, and set off at dawn tomorrow." ”
A few people found a nearby inn. Mo Weinan and Twilight went to the street to buy food, and after Cai Wei and Tao Zhimo settled down at the inn, they saw that it was not dark, so they made an appointment to go out for a walk.
In the past four or five days, I have only been in a hurry, but I have not noticed what is delicious and interesting on the road.
When she was in Yanzhou before, Nangong Ci often took her out to play, and she had seen a lot. After staying in Baoying County for a few years, although Baoying County is not a poor country, it is not a big city, but now that she has come to this lively place, she has seen a lot of novelties on the horse. Now that she has time, and Cai Wei is also lively, she immediately dragged her to the street.
There are too many delicious and fun things on the street, and Tao Weaving Mo is dazzling.
"Fu Gongzi, come and try this cloud cake, it's delicious!" Cai Wei called.
When Tao Weaving Mo came to the stall, he saw that some white cakes were neatly placed in front of the stall, and they smelled a little sweet.
"Boss, how do you sell this?" Tao Zhimo asked.
"A penny."
"Oh." Tao Zhimo looked at it carefully, and it looked like there were about seven or eight pieces of it. The pieces are connected, the soft and hard are moderate, sticky but not scattered.
The pottery foam tore open a piece and put it in the mouth, well, the mouth dissolved, and the mouth was full of fresh breath, like swallowing a cloud. Cai Wei also praised again and again after entering the entrance, "Fu Gongzi, let me tell you, the cloud cake is delicious!" ”
"You've been here before?"
"Of course!" An unnatural smile flashed on Cai Wei's face, "Let's dart." ”
"Oh." Tao Zhimo nodded.
Cai Wei continued: "Fu Gongzi, let me tell you, when you come to this Guangling County, you must eat soup dumplings, lion heads, steamed chicken with bamboo leaves, crispy sesame duck...... "Cai Wei came together like a few treasures.
Tao Zhimo is glad that she is not hungry now, otherwise she would definitely be hungry to death.
"Fu Gongzi, come on, come on!" Cai Wei pulled her to a dim sum shop and sat down, "Try this Eight Treasures Cake!" Guaranteed to keep you coming back for more! Little two! Two Eight Treasure Cakes! ”
Tao Zhimo was inspecting this distinctive dim sum shop, when he suddenly saw a column of neatly slaughtered officers and soldiers walking by with spears in hand. This place has always been peaceful, and the officers and soldiers who patrol the county town on weekdays are all comfortable and casual, but these officers and soldiers who have just passed by have a ...... on them It's like the bloody smell of war. Yes, there is a military feel to it!
Tao Zhimo was suspicious, and when Xiao Er came up with the Eight Treasures Cake, he casually asked, "Xiao Er, why are there so many officers and soldiers today?" ”
"Alas!" Xiao Er sighed and said, "I heard that King Yong was assassinated in Qingzhou three days ago!" Now the murderer is being arrested! ”
With a "clang", the eight-treasure treasure cake in Tao Zhimo's hand immediately fell to the ground.
"Yikes! This son, why are you so careless! Childe, this bowl you broke costs three pennies! ”
"You just said ......" Tao Zhimo stood up and grabbed Xiao Er's clothes, "You just said...... King Yong was assassinated? ”
"yes!" Xiao Er was a little inexplicable, "Everyone knows it!" ”
"That, that strict zhòng? Is there anything wrong with him? Tao Zhimo trembled, wanting to hear his answer, but he was even more afraid of his answer.
"Of course it's strict! I heard that the assassin's sword was poisonous! ”
Tao Zhimo's whole person was stunned, as if the sky had fallen.
How could it be, how could something happen to him? She hadn't found him yet. She owes him, and she hasn't paid it back. He owed her, and he didn't pay it back. How could something happen to him like this? She never imagined that such a situation would arise. She always thought that the two of them had time, a lifetime, to explain and clarify the misunderstanding between them. All of a sudden, it seems like there's nothing left!
Tao Zhimo only felt that the sky was spinning, and it took a while to stand firm.
"Fu Gongzi, what's wrong with you!" Cai Wei hurriedly helped her.
"Cai Wei! You're here! Twilight Yu saw them outside the window and hurriedly ran in, "Just now we went back to the inn, Xiao Er said that you have all been out for a long time!" ”
On the street in front of the store, Don't forget the south and walk slowly.
"What's going on?" Mo Yunan asked, and from a distance, he saw Tao Zhimo's body unstable.
"This ......" Cai Wei was also confused, "I don't know, just now Fu Gongzi heard the news of King Yong's assassination." ”
"What's wrong? Does Fu Gongzi know King Yong? Or, Fu Gongzi is also the lover of King Yong? Twilight asked tentatively.
"Yes," Cai Wei also said, "Fu Gongzi seems to care about King Yong?" ”
"No, it's not......," Tao Zhimo finally came to his senses, "I don't know him." I'm just, just my friend's case was tried by King Yong himself. I'm just afraid that if something happens to King Ruoyong, my friend won't be able to redress his grievances. Tao Zhimo touched the table and sat down, "You say, King Yong won't have an accident, right?" Her hands trembled.
After pondering, Dusk Yu said: "I heard that King Yong was seriously injured this time, and the assassin's sword was poisonous, and he is still unconscious, and the imperial doctors in the palace are rushing to Qingzhou." ”
Tao Zhimo hurriedly said: "When the imperial doctor arrives, maybe everyone will ...... "She couldn't say the next words, and said instead, "My friend who was taken away, he has excellent medical skills, and he has the art of bringing the dead back to life!" By the way, the second master, aren't you very well-connected? This is the first time Tao Zhimo has spoken to him in many days, "You see if you can catch up with them, if you let my friend go to treat King Yong, maybe King Yong will be saved." ”
"That's right! Maybe your friend can even atone for his sins! Cai Wei echoed.
Mo Wangnan glanced at Tao Zhimo, who was looking urgent, and his expression was cold, "It's not easy to talk about." ”
Tao Zhimo's brain quickly worked, and then he immediately decided, "Second master, do you know where King Yong is in Qingzhou now?" ”
"What are you looking for him?"
"I," Tao Zhimo somehow said, "I want to see him!" ”
"Fu Gongzi, King Yong is not something you can see when you say it." Cai Wei reminded.
"Let's go to Qingzhou." Tao Zhimo said decisively, "If I'm not mistaken, we can also go back to Yanzhou through the Qingzhou border, right?" ”
Dusk Yu nodded, "If you return to Yanzhou from Qingzhou, it is estimated that it will take three or four more days, which is not indispensable." It's just that we are just passing through the border of Qingzhou, and we don't know where King Yong is. ”
Several people fell silent, but at this time, Mo Wangnan spoke, "He is on the border of Qingzhou. ”
"Really?" Tao Zhimo was overjoyed, "You've bought all the things you have for the night, right?" Then let's check out and get out of town now! ”
"But it's all ...... now" Before Cai Wei finished speaking, Tao Zhimo had already run in the direction of the inn, and Cai Wei and the others could only follow. But now it's dusk, and I'm afraid that as soon as I get out of the city, it will be dark!
Sure enough, not long after the few people left the city, it was dark, but they still hurried in the dark, and they didn't stop until the stars were full of the sky and Tao Zhimo couldn't bear the tiredness. You need to get some rest tonight, so you have the energy to continue your journey tomorrow.
She was afraid, afraid that she would not see him for the last time, and that she would become an eternal regret between the two. When she couldn't see him, her heart felt like she was being held tightly and breathless.
Mo Wangnan found a suitable high ground, and everyone dismounted. They couldn't wait for the twilight rain to make a fire, so Tao Zhimo hurriedly laid a piece of linoleum cloth and lay down, she was so tired that she felt like she was about to fall apart. It's like the twilight rain, like an iron beating, as if they can still travel for two more days and two nights.
After they settled down, Tao Zhimo's shallow breathing sound was already sounding. The two sisters also slept in their clothes on the other side of the fire. And Mo Yunan carried a piece of linoleum cloth, gently placed it next to Tao Zhimo, untied the cloak and covered Tao Zhimo's body, and he lay generously on her side, sleeping on his pillow.
Cai Wei's eyes widened, and Twilight shook her head at her, motioning for her to stop talking.
"Turn around." He spoke softly. The two hurriedly turned over and turned their backs, not daring to take a breath.
