Zhao Qian took Lin Wan'er, Baoyu and Yubao out of the grass, reached out to pluck the hay off Lin Wan'er's head, beat the dust on the two children, and helped the three of them onto the horses, just as they were about to turn over on the horses.

Lin Wan'er frowned and asked, "You also want to get on the horse?" ”

"Of course!" Zhao Qian said confidently, he wanted Baoyu and Yubao to sit in the front, Wan'er to sit in the middle, and himself to sit at the end, well, the scene was still quite harmonious and warm.

"But four people on horses, so heavy, have you ever considered how the horse feels? It may not have reached the capital before the horse was exhausted. Lin Wan'er also said confidently, meaning Zhao Qian, you don't want to get on the horse.

Zhao Qian laughed angrily, touched his nose and said, "I didn't consider the horse's feelings, but Wan'er, have you considered my feelings?" "Anyway, I'm here to save you, but I don't even have the right to get on the horse.

Lin Wan'er shook her head honestly.

Zhao Qian didn't dwell too much, anyway, he had already found someone, which was a happy thing to say. He stretched out his hand to take the reins and walked forward, taking in the scenery around him a lot more beautifully.

Lin Wan'er thought about her own thoughts, and asked with some doubts: "Zhao Qian, is there a way for you to prevent Baoyu from leaving?" ”

Baoyu also pricked up his ears, in the books he read, it is true that blood is thicker than water, but in his heart there is another thought: emotions are thicker than blood. He didn't want to leave his eldest sister and brothers, because that was what he was used to, liked, attached, insisted on, and guarded.

Zhao Qian smiled lightly, turned his head to look at the three people on the horse: "Of course it's no problem." Baoyu can't go. ”

Lin Wan'er had an indescribable sense of trust in Zhao Gan, which was the case when she was in Lanzhou, she nodded. Leaving all the worries and unhappiness in his heart behind, he touched the heads of the two children.

The three of them walked for a few days before they walked out of Shangjing for sixty miles, and the advance of the Imperial Forest Army had already arrived in Lanzhou, and one or two horses had already arrived in southern Xinjiang and saw Xishuangbanna, where miasma and mosquitoes flew together.

On the way back, the horses would stop at every market. Lin Wan'er, Baoyu and Yubao would jump off their horses, and then squeeze into the bustling crowd to buy all the food and toys they wanted to buy but didn't.

Zhao Qian shook his head helplessly. Following behind him, he took out the money from his purse and handed it over.

When I arrived in Shangjing, another three days passed.

Zhao Qian led the horses, and Lin Wan'er and the three of them sat on a high-headed horse. entered the Lin family's courtyard together.

Everyone saw that the three of them were safe and sound. They all let out a long breath.

Lin Wan'er didn't know that she had done something wrong, and gave the two extra toys she bought along the way to Dabao and Dazhuang.

At this time, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, walked into the Lin family's courtyard with a gloomy face.

Lin Wan'er hurriedly protected Baoyu behind her, like a hen protecting the little chicks, whoever dared to touch the baby chicken, she would immediately fight with him and peck him to death.

Baoyu was timid, but her face was resolute and pulled the corner of her eldest sister's clothes. looked coldly at his father, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang.

Zhao Gan stood in front of Lin Wan'er again and said, "Zhao Gan pays a visit to King Xiliang. ”

"Yo. The Three Princes. Xu Xiao still had the same tone as before, but his eyes narrowed slightly: "It stands to reason that I, the prince, should kneel down to the prince and ask for peace, how can I make His Royal Highness the prince condescend." Although he said this, Xu Xiao's figure was still upright.

Zhao Gan didn't care, and said with a smile: "King Xiliang has made outstanding achievements, and the boy Zhao Gan should also salute, and Aunt Su took good care of Zhao Qian back then, so it stands to reason that Zhao Qian should also call King Xiliang 'uncle'." ”

Now Zhao Gan and Bai Su only have a few faces, and then the Suzaku Gate Incident occurred, but Zhao Gan, who drowned in the small lotus pond back then, admired Bai Su very much. After the soul entered Zhao Gan's body, no one else noticed it, only Bai Su frowned slightly when he saw Zhao Gan, as if he had discovered something.

"Uncle? Haha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be. This king just wants to say that Baoyu is the species of my Xu family, and he must recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and return to Xiliang with me. Xu Xiao put one hand on the handle of Xiliang's knife and said in a light tone.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "What Uncle Xu said is reasonable, but I don't know if Uncle Xu can go to the back room with me." ”

Wei Song stood up and said, "Just say anything in the hall." ”

Li Mubai also stood up at the right time and confronted Wei Song, and his momentum was not weak at all.

Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and patted Wei Song's shoulder: "You step back first." "I went to the back room first.

Zhao Qian instructed Qingzhu Niang to prepare a pot of tea, and then personally carried it into the back room.

The door slammed softly shut, like a thunderclap exploding in Lin Wan'er's heart.

She once heard of the domineering of the king of Xiliang, when the first emperor raised troops for the dawn of the world, there was a great Confucian in the previous dynasty who wrote "Zhao Yuwen" to insult the first emperor, with "the pseudo-emperor Zhao's person, the sex is not harmonious, the earth is cold and slight", and ends with "The king of Qin is close to the evil spirit, Xiahou harbors evil intentions, Xu Xiao is cruel and tyrannical, and his wife is lowly and lewd". Xu Xiao questioned on the spot, and Da Ru threw the teacup at Xu Xiao's feet: "Everything you said is true." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xiao broke his arm with a cold knife, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the other party: "It is said that a scholar's pen is like a knife, and today I will let you see what a real knife is." Then he broke Da Ru's other hand and smashed the other party's full mouth.

Later, the world was decided, the princess Bai Su did not know where to go, Xu Xiao gradually regained his senses, crowned the king Xiliang, the Xu family army marched to Xiliang, and went to Xiliang, and there were many discussions about Xu Xiao behind the back of the Ministry of Rites, saying that Xu Xiao's son Xu Yunfeng misbehaved and was a traitor. Xu Xiao, who had already walked out of Shangjing five hundred miles away, knew that he quickly returned to Shangjing and rushed directly into Shangshu Mansion.

That Shangshu is consciously a second-grade official of the imperial court, and your Xu Jiajun has already left Beijing. You Xu Xiao can really do it, and when he threw the teacup in front of Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao sneered. Broke one of the other person's legs. The Ministry of Rites was not satisfied, and went to complain in front of His Majesty, and was reprimanded by His Majesty. Later, this Shangshu was called the lame Shangshu.

Among the three provinces and six ministries, the Ministry of Rites impeached Xu Xiao the most, because of the lawsuit that year.

This time, Xu Xiao entered Beijing and saw this lame Shangshu, and stretched out his foot and kicked the other party's lame leg. He asked with a smile: "On a cloudy and rainy day, does your leg hurt?" ”

The ritualistic Shangshu who was already cloudy and rainy and his legs hurt gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't hurt!" ”

Xu Xiao raised his head and laughed: "It's good if it doesn't hurt!" ”

Someone in Shangjing once concluded. "Tricks" with King Xiliang can go directly to him himself, no matter how badly he beats him and scolds him, it doesn't matter. But be careful. Accumulate virtue in your mouth, don't "touch" the family of King Xiliang, otherwise King Xiliang will go crazy and kill people.

Also, don't drop the cup in front of King Xiliang, otherwise the consequences will be very strict.

Lin Wan'er recalled the hearsay news, hugged Baoyu tightly, looked up at the back room, there was no sound at all, she was always uneasy in her heart. Baoyu and Xu Xiao have an indelible blood relationship, and King Xiliang has a stubborn personality. It is impossible to compromise on the matter of his son Baoyu, will Zhao Qian have a way to keep Baoyu?

In the process of Lin Wan'er's cranky thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground in the room, which was very crisp, and then there was a long silence in the room, but Lin Wan'er saw an extremely tragic scene in front of her.

Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was furious, someone dared to throw a teacup in front of him, whether you are the king of heaven Laozi, or His Royal Highness the prince, he pulled out the cool knife in his hand, and didn't even give Zhao Gan a chance to explain the meaning, one, two, three, three knives and knives were inserted in his heart, and the king of Xiliang was still angry, and cut off Zhao Gan's hands and feet, and finally even his head was cut in half, and there was blood on the ground. She ran into the house, trying to put Zhao Gan together, but in the end, she could only pile Zhao Gan's legs, feet and arms into a pile, like a small hill.

Lin Wan'er was immersed in her rich imagination, but she was startled by herself, and with a "squeak", the door of the inner room was pulled open from the inside.

Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, walked out with a smile on his face, looked up at Lin Wan'er, and then at Baoyu, who was hiding behind her and seemed to be a little afraid of herself, nodded, and then shook her head again: "Baoyu, I won't take you back to Xiliang." ”

Lin Wan'er and Baoyu's eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked in unison, "Really?" ”

"Really." Xu Xiao said with a smile, as if he had figured out something, his mood became extremely happy, he put down the cold knife on his waist, slowly walked in front of Baoyu, half-squatted down, and handed it out with both hands: "Oh, this is the last cold knife brought to Shangjing, give it to you." ”

Baoyu took the cool knife and looked up at his father, who was related to him, with white hair on his temples, gray and pale, and his body was slightly blessed, but his eyes were still bright, and his face was burly and powerful, full of tension.

A string in Baoyu's little heart was violently touched, he stretched out his little arm and hugged King Xiliang in his arms, his white and tender little cheeks rubbed against the other party's bearded face, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang who had been on the battlefield for half his life, trembled, and carefully held Baoyu in his arms with his backhand, with starlight shining in the depths of his eyes, and grinning at the corners of his mouth: "Zhao Gan's kid is right, the most important thing is that you are happy." ”

Lin Wan'er couldn't see this kind of scene, tears flowed downward, the father and son saw each other very touching, and it was the most heart-wrenching. An idea suddenly popped up in her heart, if she didn't let Baoyu go to Xiliang, not to mention that she still had Yubao, one less Baoyu was not less, and one more was not too much. But this idea is fleeting, she still feels sorry for herself, if Baoyu is gone, she can say a lot of beautiful words, but she can feel as uncomfortable as she feels.

Zhao Qian smiled and handed over a handkerchief, Lin Wan'er came over and cried silently, only then did she find out Zhao Gan's storage, and found that Zhao Gan's hands were a little red and swollen. She asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

Zhao Gan grimaced his face bitterly, and said with some surprise: "I just wanted to play a hero and drop the cup in front of King Xiliang, but I didn't expect my hands to burn, hey." ”

Lin Wan'er was amused by Zhao Gan's appearance, cried and laughed, hammered Zhao Gan hard, and said, "I hate it!" Then he asked, "What did you say in the back room, why did King Xiliang change his mind?" ”

Zhao Qian replied with a smile: "Let's talk about family life, talk about life ideals and social revenge, and talk about the customs and customs of Dawei." ”

"Don't give me a poor mouth, get down to business." Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes and said with some displeasure.

Zhao Qian smiled and didn't continue, there are some things I know, you don't need to know, you just need to live a good life, and I have it.

Xu Xiao hugged Baoyu for a long time before he slowly stood up, coughed twice in a low voice, and strode out of the Lin family's courtyard, leaving everyone with a back, not burly, but extremely broad.

Wei Song looked at the back of his father-in-law, and sighed for no reason, this is because his father-in-law wanted to cry, but he was afraid that others would see it, so he was in a hurry to slip away. He turned his head and clenched his fists, and quickly followed.

The family was reunited, Lin Wan'er was very happy, she couldn't help pinching her waist with her hands, looked up to the sky and laughed, and took Baoyu and Yubao into the hall.

Qingzhu Niang and Chen Xiaoxiao sat next to her with cold faces, waiting for Lin Wan'er to bow her head and admit her mistake.

Lin Wan'er was furious by the two of them, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this, there are no flowers on my face." ”

The two of them were angry for a while, and at this time, everyone was anxious, you turned out to be like no one, you were wandering, unaware, and made a group of "nothing to do with yourself, hang high", it is really annoying.

"Wan'er, you didn't say a word, you ran away from home with Baoyu and Yubao, nothing happened, if something happened, I see how you give yourself and everyone an explanation." Qingzhu Niang said hatefully, he has always regarded Baoyu and Yubao as his own children, and he is very annoyed with Wan'er's doing.

Lin Wan'er smiled, followed Zhao Gan's example, and touched her nose: "Sister Qingzhu, you said that nothing happened, why make a fuss?" ”

Before Qingzhu Niang could speak, Baoyu and Yubao had already jumped out: "Aunt Qingzhu, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest sister, we instigated the eldest sister to take us away, if you want to punish us, punish us." ”

Lin Wan'er spread her hands, looking very innocent, you see, Baoyu and Yubao both said so, in fact, Baoyu and Yubao ran away from home with me, and I was the one who was the most injured, okay?

Qingzhu Niang was speechless for a while, where would she punish the two children, the two children were already very pitiful, not to mention that there was an "ignorant" and worrying eldest sister, who was even more unbearable, but she was indignant in her heart: "You two just spoil her, there will be a day when you two regret it." ”

Now the adults and children of the Lin family have begun to "spoil" Lin Wan'er, and it is getting more and more intense. (To be continued......)
