Seeking Skin with the Tiger (3)

Li Chu was really shocked, yesterday said that he would send an envoy to Jincheng County with He Suizhao and his entourage, this morning before dawn, the messenger sent stood at the door of the inn, bluffed the shopkeeper's calves trembling, and ran to inform He Suizhao, and according to He Suizhao's instructions, he pressed his heart to go to Mu Qing to pass the word.

When everyone gathered in the hall and looked at the open gate, everyone was shocked, this General Li actually sent a whole group of soldiers, and there were five or six hundred people, crowded next to each other but standing neatly in the front yard of the inn, and those who could not stand stood outside the gate, all of them were heavily armoured, carrying a long knife with a ring on their backs, and a club in their hands, which attracted many onlookers. He Suizhao slowly walked to the door of the hall, and a small capital at the front of the team stepped forward to salute with his fists, and said sonorously: "The general ordered Gao to go with He Sui Alang, escort him all the way, and see Xue Gong together." ”

He Suizhao nodded, still smiling and said, "That's it, let's pull it out." Gao Dutong didn't have to be too restrained, so as not to frighten the shopkeepers and neighbors. The Gao Dutong returned to the team, shouting the order to regroup. Seeing this situation, Mu Qing wanted to put on a hood, but he went out in simple clothes, and he didn't prepare a hat or anything like that, so he had to put on a cloak and pull up the wide hood on the cloak to somewhat cover his face.

Ada led her and Aliu to a carriage, put a footstool, and escorted them to the car. The car looked a little simpler, the window panes on the wall were only nailed with straight strips of wood, no curtains to cover them, and there were no brocade cushions in the car, only two coarse cloth sewn and filled with cottonseed pillows. "It's a little rougher, lady, just be patient." Ada sat down on the wheel and said inward through the plain curtains.

She lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "I don't know how much better it is than the situation that came all the way." Seeing that she was happy, Ada was also relieved, threw off the whip, and hurried to the road with a loud shout.

Since boarding the car, the smile on Mu Qing's face has not stopped. Ah Liu tilted her head and looked at her carefully, only to feel that she was overflowing with warmth from top to bottom, and she was on the way to Jincheng Pass at the moment. "Why are you so happy?" Aliu couldn't help but ask her.

She only smiled blindly and did not answer, which made Ah Liu more and more anxious, pushing and shaking her body and constantly pestering. Mu Qing couldn't stand her pushing, and hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Don't shake it again, don't shake it again." As she spoke, she moved Aliu's hand to her lower abdomen and gently rested it on it. Ah Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up like a lightning strike, and was overwhelmed by great joy, and the expressions of surprise and joy on his face were replaced in turn. "Really? How do you know if you haven't asked a doctor to see it......" She carefully stroked Mu Qing's lower abdomen and suspiciously.

"How could I not know, although I have not studied medicine seriously, this. It is still accurate. She looked down and whispered, a soft glow on her face.

"Ah Lang knows?"

Mu Qing shook his head, "I didn't know when I left the Eastern Capital, where did he find out." A few days ago, it was a bumpy trek all the way. I had a dull pain in my lower abdomen for three or two days, that is, on the day of the sandstorm in the desert, I became suspicious. ”

The joy on Ah Liu's face disappeared half, "I've heard people talk about it. The first two or three months can not be sloppy, this is riding and galloping, but can you still stand it? Fang just said that he had abdominal pain. This, how this is good. ”

"Not yet." She stroked her abdomen, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Today is no longer as painful as the previous two days, it can be seen that he is a strong child." When I arrived in Jincheng County, I would find a reliable doctor to take a closer look. Seeing that Ah Liu was still worried, she hooked a finger like a green onion and scratched it lightly on the bridge of her nose, "Seeing that I am about to become an aunt, I can't be empty-handed, you know that I will never needle a woman red, those little pockets and small handkerchiefs, we all rely on my aunt." In an instant, Aliu grinned again, and looked at her flat belly.

As soon as the warm spring breeze blew, Mu Qing became more and more sleepy, leaned on the pillow, and tried to sleep groggily with his arms supporting his head. She seemed to have had a long, long dream, in which Du Ruhui was holding a pink baby in her hand, and walked towards her with a gentle and calm smile as always, she stretched out her hand to take it, and wanted to take a good look at this jade-like little boy. But before it was touched, Daddy and Mom came hand in hand at some point, and reached out to hug the baby in Du Ruhui's hand before her. The two looked at each other and smiled, hugged the child and turned around to leave, she hurriedly wanted to catch up, but she couldn't move under her feet, Du Ruhui held her softly from behind, wrapped her whole person into his broad chest, and taught her so gentle that she no longer had the strength to chase after Daddy and Grandma.

She was startled, and when she opened her eyes, a feeling that was not very pleasant passed through her heart, and her heart was still throbbing a little chaotically. Looking around, she was still in the humble carriage, and Ah Liu had already sat on the other side of the carriage outside the carriage, talking to Ada with a spring breeze on his face, and Ada was also laughing loudly, and he was as stable as usual. She put her hand on her lower abdomen, as if she felt the soft life inside, trying to grow rapidly.

For two days in a row, the team marched rapidly on the official road, and was stationed on the spot at night. Although Mu Qing repeatedly instructed that this matter should not be leaked, Ah Liu still couldn't hide her joy, and from time to time she had to peek at her lower abdomen, take care of it carefully and thoughtfully, and couldn't help but dot it day and night.

At noon that day, she was napping in a daze, and He Suizhao walked to the side of the carriage and said loudly through the carriage: "Qi Niang, it is estimated that you will be able to enter Jincheng Pass in two hours." Mu Qing woke up suddenly, so fast. She had gone towards Jincheng County fearlessly, but now she was a little panicked by the delicate life in her womb. Her panic has nowhere to tell, nowhere to forgive, and she can't be seen by outsiders, so she has to endure it alone, and she still has to maintain a calm and flat look on her face.

He Suizhao didn't get her response, and was about to ride her horse forward, but she lifted the curtain of the cloth, poked out half of her head, and said in a deliberative tone: "Since you have brought such a group of people and horses, is it good to send someone to pass on the Xue family before?" It's not going to be a night walk in brocade. ”

He Suizhao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "There are soldiers and horses following, but it is too tough in the end, how to pass it on?" ”

"Have you heard that the wife of the Xue family's eldest man is also from the Yuhang Gu family?" Mu Qing laughed, "Let's just say that it is a relative in her clan, Gu Qiniang came to visit, because there are many followers, it is inconvenient to enter the city, please be sure to come to greet her." With her heart, even if she doesn't go out of the city to greet her, she will make people carefully observe the situation on my side and return to her. ”

He Sui Zhao raised his hand and summoned a guard, gave a few instructions according to Mu Qing's original words, and sent him to enter the pass quickly.

"Ah Liu, you said that you haven't seen me for three years, and it has long been man-made, will she still be jealous of me?" Mu Qing played with the fingers of his other hand with one hand and asked Ah Liu worriedly. In fact, she also knew that Ah Liu had no way to answer, and even if she answered, it was mostly comforting, so she was so nervous that someone should say it. Therefore, without waiting for Ah Liu to answer, she whispered softly as if she was distracted: "It doesn't matter whether she is jealous or not, she is not a stupid person, and she will definitely not teach the festival in her young boudoir to miss a big event." ”

"Festival in the boudoir......" Ah Liu recalled that winter night, Mu Qing was picked up by Du Ruhui from the cold river, the memory is still fresh, and he can't help but shudder, "Which little daughter's family will be moved to kill because of the festival in the boudoir, and put people to death without panic." I heard that in Jinchengguan in the past few years, even if it has become more and more vicious and domineering......" After saying a few more words, Ah Liu suddenly felt that something was inappropriate and was busy talking, but he didn't know what to say for a while to comfort Mu Qing, and the two sat silently in the car, each holding a cold sweat in the palm of his hand.
