Chapter 257: Encountering a Distant Friend
The dry firewood was very easy to burn, and when the pheasant in Xie Hengxu's hand cooled, Uncle Yu and the guard also returned with the firewood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Neither of them socialized anymore, and at night they went to sleep on their own turf.
Di Lian curled up in Xie Hengxu's arms and fell asleep, the two of them were covered with Xie Hengxu's cloak and an autumn robe.
In the middle of the night, Xie Hengxu, who was sleeping against a tree, was suddenly awakened by a drop of coolness on his face, opened his eyes solemnly, saw that the sky was gloomy, and whispered, stretched out his big hand to put up the robe covering Tilian's body to protect her from the rain, and his right hand stroked her cheek and called her softly.
"Lian'er, wake up."
Tillian rubbed his palm and squinted at him.
Xie Hengxu couldn't help but hook his lips, and said softly, "It's raining, you have to find a place to avoid it as soon as possible." ā
It's raining?
Tillian frowned and sat up, muttering, "Why are you so unlucky, I knew I would have left tomorrow." ā
Xie Hengxu smiled, bent his knees to help her up, picked up the clothes and baggage on the ground, and led her to Xuanguang.
The two of them turned over and got on their horses and were about to leave, and the centaur not far behind them also moved, and it seemed that they were also leaving.
At the moment, it was important to shelter from the rain, Xie Hengxu didn't have the heart to be polite to them, and drove the horse straight into the forest next to the official road.
Sure enough, when the heavy rain soaked the back of Xie Hengxu's entire clothes, he finally saw an abandoned stone temple.
When the two of them rushed into the temple, Di Lian took out the burden she was protecting in her arms, squatted on the ground and turned over a set of clothes, and got up to untie Xie Hengxu's clothes.
He had been bent down to protect her tightly, she was only wet with her skirt, but Xie Hengxu was about to get soaked.
"Take off your clothes and light a fire to dry them later."
Xie Hengxu smiled, seeing that she was nervous about herself, her heart was very useful, she opened her arms and let her serve her to change clothes, and when she heard the neighing of horses outside, she didn't bother to raise her eyes to look.
It was none other than someone else, it was a group of people who had just stayed together on the official road.
The first to come was a few guards supporting a young man in a brocade gray plain face without a trace robe to come in, Yu Bo also followed, his eyes swept over Di Lian and Xie Hengxu, and waited for the young man to sit aside, before pacing forward and smiling kindly.
"It seems that our fate is really not shallow, and now we can take shelter from the rain here, but we can make a fire together."
Di Lian put on the clean robe for Xie Hengxu, skillfully tied the knots with her fingers, and smiled at the picturesque eyebrows, looking very quiet and gentle.
Seeing her smile, Xie Hengxu raised his eyes to look at Uncle Yu in a good mood, and said with his head bowed, "What Uncle Yu said is that it will trouble your people." ā
"Childe is polite." , Uncle Yu immediately nodded with a smile, and when he saw Tillian bending down and turning out the flint from the baggage, he hurriedly bowed down and took it.
There were some dilapidated tables and chairs in the temple, and a few guards dismantled those into firewood, and quickly piled up some straw to light a fire, and after a while, the fire lit up, illuminating everyone in the small temple.
Because of the large number of people, Xie Hengxu swept away the fire and sat around it, Xie Hengxu hugged Di Lian in front of him, and his phoenix eyes swept over the group of people, sinking invisibly.
This is obviously a young man in brocade who is sitting not far away, and what is the origin of this industry.
Tillian didn't have time to think about this at the moment, her rain-soaked skirt had been dried by the warmth of the fire, and now she was shrunk in Xie Hengxu's arms, only feeling very sleepy, and after a while, she fell asleep with her eyelids closed.
Xie Hengxu took her shoulder, gently straightened her head, and when he saw that she was asleep, he didn't plan to talk to these people, and leaned against the pillar behind him to sleep.
At this moment, Uncle Yu, who was not far away, spoke in a gentle voice, his tone was kind and kind, "Acquaintance, I don't know the son's surname?" ā
At this time, he also saw that the young couple in front of him must be more than just wandering people, not to mention the nobility between these two people, that is, this man seems to be arrogant and arrogant, and he is either rich or noble.
Xie Hengxu didn't intend to have a deep friendship with them, but this old man's attitude was very gentle and friendly, and if he didn't pay attention, it would be too rude.
So his thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes lowered and looked at the sleeping person in his arms, and said in a low and concise voice, "Thank you." ā
In fact, not only the old man Yu, everyone present looked at Xie Hengxu and Di Lian involuntarily, especially the woman was so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.
"Oh, Gongzi Xie. My family's surname is Yu. Look at Gongzi Xie and Mrs. Xie's extraordinary bearing, where are the two of them? ā
How? Is this still a question and answer?
Xie Hengxu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he glanced sideways at the brocade-clothed man who was surrounded by several guards, and the man was also looking at him.
Xie Hengxu looked at the young man Yu without moving, looking at him who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, his face was pale and colorless, as if there was some hidden disease.
Thinking in his heart, he said lightly, "Beijing." I wonder where you come from? Seeing that the formation is not small, it seems that it is going to travel far away. ā
Is this to fight guerrillas? Uncle Yu was slightly stunned, but he regained his gentle smile in an instant.
"Gongzi Xie is from the capital, what a coincidence, we are going to the capital, I don't know if we can go together?"
Without answering his own words, Xie Hengxu lightly hooked his lips, but he didn't have to investigate their origins, but said, "That's unfortunate, we are going out to travel now, and we won't be back to Beijing in a short time." ā
Uncle Yu seemed to have a little regret when he heard this, and then hesitated to ask, "Look at the extraordinary Gongzi, he must be a person of noble origin, I don't know... You can know the people of the Xie family in the capital. ā
It's really a coincidence, the person in front of him is also surnamed Xie, but such a lightly dressed Jane drifted out of wandering alone with his wife, and he shouldn't be the noble person they were looking for.
The Xie family in the capital? Xie Hengxu's lowered phoenix eyes moved slightly, his lips were shallowly hooked, and he quietly looked at Uncle Yu, "I don't know who is looking for the Xie family?" Maybe I really do. ā
At this time, not only Uncle Yu was stunned, everyone around him sat up straight, and the not too old Yu Gongzi also opened his eyes and looked at Xie Hengxu fixedly, his tone was weak and full of expectation.
"Gongzi Xie knows someone from the Xie family? Rongguo Mansion Xie family? ā
Xie Hengxu smiled noncommittally and said slowly, "It depends on who you are looking for." After saying that, he suddenly felt that the person in his arms moved, and he quickly paused and raised his hand to signal gently.
Everyone glanced at the beautiful woman in his arms, and they unconsciously lightened their breathing.
Such a person, looking at it, will not brag indiscriminately, Uncle Yu was a little excited, got up and leaned against Xie Hengxu's side, his face could not hide his surprise, and said in a low voice, "The third son of the Xie family, the general of the cavalry, Xie Hengxu, is the son-in-law of Jiang Luoxiu, the current left minister of the auxiliary country, can you know Gongzi Xie?" ā
At this time, not only Xie Hengxu raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, but even Tilian, who was awakened in his arms, couldn't help but open his eyes.
Sitting up slowly with her arms propped up, Tilian Dai frowned slightly, her lips curled, and Qinghe asked, "Uncle Yu wants to find Xie Hengxu, what is the matter?" (To be continued.) )
