Chapter Seventy-Three: A Thunderbolt
The sky was still bright, Zhao Zhi and Xue Zilong arrived at the gate of Yunzhou City, the soldiers guarding the city were already a little sleepy at this time, seeing that although the two of them looked extraordinary, especially Zhao Zhi, with a gesture, revealing a noble atmosphere, although Xue Zilong was long and dark and stout, but his body bones were majestic, but the two of them were dressed plainly, and there was no extra luggage on their bodies.
"Why are you going to the city so early?"
"Go shopping." Xue Zilong looked at the soldiers guarding the city coldly, and said lightly, exuding a majesty from his body.
The soldier couldn't help but shrink back, and quickly regained his composure, "What are you going to buy?" ”
"Herbs."
"What herbs? If you don't pick the medicinal herbs that are all over the mountains outside the city, why do you want to go to the city to buy them? Say, isn't it a spy from Nanwa? Look at the two of you, tall horses, don't you look like farmers? ”
"You're right, we're not farmers, we're pig killers." Xue Zilong simply focused his gaze on the faces of the soldiers guarding the city, "The sow we raised gave birth to cubs last night, and the blood ...... The courtyard was full of water, and the mother-in-law who delivered the baby said that she had to go into the city to buy blood-replenishing herbs for it to feed in order to save her life. ”
"Blood-replenishing herbs? Is that...... What medicine? ”
Xue Zilong condensed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, hooked his fingers to let the soldier close, whispered a few words, and the startled soldier covered his mouth again and again, shouting, "Hurry up, let them in, two big men, it's really ...... It's disgusting to do this. ”
Everyone opened the city gate, Zhao Zhi and Xue Zilong stepped on the horse, easily and swaggered into the city gate, at this moment, the belly of the fish in the east has been flushed, and the morning market in Yunzhou City has been bustling with traders and passers-by.
"What did you just say to the soldier guarding the door?" Zhao Zhi took the reins, tried to avoid the people on the road, and let the horse undulate and shake his body.
"Before I joined the army, the second sister-in-law in the village gave birth to a baby and had a difficult birth, and my mother asked me to run all night to find a mother-in-law who delivered a pig in a neighboring village and borrowed something...... That's what I just said, haha......" Xue Zilong hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say the name of that thing.
Zhao Zhi looked at the swarthy Xue Zilong and suddenly blushed like a monkey's belly, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, "This Zilong, I really can't help you, what kind of daughter-in-law should I tell you in the future?" ”
The more the two of them walked into the city, the more people came, the horse could not be ridden, the two had to get off the horse and lead, slowly moving towards General Meng's mansion, from the west of the city to the east of the city, to pass through the Tianyun Market, but also through the crowded downtown area.
"It seems that today's day may be a market, and this crowd is almost crowded." Xue Zilong led the horse and walked as close to the side of the road as possible, and Zhao Zhi followed behind him, his eyes constantly glancing at the bustling crowd in the market, longing to see a familiar figure.
When passing by a teahouse, the voices of several idlers couldn't help but penetrate Zhao Zhi's ears.
"Hi...... Brothers, have you heard of it? Meng Qingshan, the eldest son of General Meng Lao, the defender of Yunzhou City, recently brought back a princess, and the two were married by the emperor himself. A shirtless man with black skin said.
"Really? No wonder a few days ago, Miss Qian Fu disappeared, dare to love this...... What about giving way to the princess? General Qingshan is so blessed, he has slept with the first beauty in Yunzhou City, and now he has fished a princess back to sleep, which is really a blessing. ”
"Where is this! Haven't you heard? The princess, now pregnant, General Meng's family has no queen, and now she is waiting for the princess to give birth to a child, so she will hand over the handsome seal to her eldest son Meng Qingshan. A lean man was bare-chested, chewing peanuts in his mouth, and continued to joke with a squinting expression, "This Qingshan general is also very busy, so quickly made the princess pregnant, presumably this princess must also be a woman who has done kung fu, haha." ”
After that, everyone followed with obscene words and obscene laughter, and the words they said were extremely unbearable.
Zhao Zhi's heart suddenly became in sharp pain with a terrible speech, like a thunderbolt that was fatally hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person became in a trance, "Princess...... The princess is pregnant...... Fang Qing...... Fang Qing...... Could it be that Aoyama ...... Shuai Yin ......"
Zhao Zhi followed Xue Zilong to avoid the crowd, and went around to a remote alley, his legs were like lead, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his chest was cramping, his feet floated up, and he fell to the ground, and the ridicule of those idlers sounded in his head over and over again.
Xue Zilong saw that Zhao Zhi's lips were white and his face was blue, and he sat on the steps with a trance, and his heart was anxious, he took off the kettle on his waist, poured a sip of warm water into Zhao Zhi, and patted Zhao Zhi's violently undulating chest with his hand, "Four princes, what's wrong with you, it's just a few idlers, how can you believe it, if the four princes can't be angry, Zilong will tie up a few of them now and give them some color!." ”
"No......" Zhao Zhi's pale lips faintly spit out a few words, "I just ate too little for a few days in a row, and I ran around all night, and I was a little tired, Zilong, go buy some food for me, I'll wait for you here." ”
"Yes, yes, it's all strange that Zilong is careless, and he forgot that the four princes haven't eaten for a few days, you wait, I'll go buy a few steamed buns." With that, Xue Zilong tied the two horses side by side to the trunk of a tree on the side of the road, and hurried to the market.
In the remote alley, only Zhao Zhi was left, and compared with the noisy outside, the alley was cold and damp, but the mood of the people was more and more sad. Zhao Zhi sat alone on the moss-covered stone steps, like a cold palace in the palace, his heart became desolate, and the faint pain in his heart gradually spread to every inch of his body, "Fang Qing...... Castle peak...... What the hell are you doing, are you...... Is it really a good idea to stay together for the rest of your life? I don't believe it, I don't believe ......"
Zhao Zhi's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Fang Qing's eyes with the eternal blushing look of shame when he looked at him, Fang Qing's appearance of being full of ghost ideas when dealing with herself, and the impatient look of rushing over to prick needles with an angry face when she was angry......
Impossible, impossible...... It's only been a few days, and it is impossible for them to be pregnant, Zhao Zhi shook his aching brain vigorously, and clearly told himself, "I must see Fang Qing and Qingshan, and ask them in person." ”
If it is false, then I Zhao Zhi is cautious, and I should make amends to Brother Qingshan; But...... If so, then ...... That...... I will fulfill them, I don't love them in this life, marry the daughter of the prime minister of Zuo and the daughter of the general who protects the country as concubines, marry the princess of Uzbekistan as the queen, and revitalize the kingdom of Uzbekistan.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but close his eyes, and any tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
"Maybe the fourth steward is right, I should have let go of my children's love and made the choice that a generation of kings should make, but why can't I breathe at this moment when my heart hurts." (To be continued.) )
