Chapter Seventy-Four: Waiting for the Rabbit
Xue Zilong came back with two steamed buns and stuffed them to Zhao Zhi, "The fourth prince quickly fills it, it's really getting hotter and hotter this day, and I'm sweating all over my body when I run this trip." ”
Zhao Zhi took the steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few bites fiercely, and his eyes were cold, "Zilong, can you hear the words of those people just now?" ”
"Listen, I heard, but I think that the words of a few small people in the market and idle men are really not credible." Xue Zilong handed the kettle to Zhao Zhi again.
"So...... What if it's true? Zhao Zhi's eyes were dark, black and oppressive.
"This, I, I...... If it's true, of course I have to be happy for the Qingshan brothers, and I only got married for a few days and had a doll, what a blessing, it's just ...... I'm afraid that the matter of borrowing troops from the four princes will be delayed, and you have to worry about the four princes again...... So, when I see that I am depressed every day, I will be unhappy, so ...... I don't know, I don't want Doctor Fang to be pregnant......" Xue Zilong looked innocent, hovering in front of Zhao Zhi with a left and right feeling.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhi opened his mouth wide, and looked at Xue Zilong with a serious face in front of him with a tearless expression, "Zilong, it's been a long time, you think I'm depressed and sad, it's because Fang Qing is pregnant, and Qingshan has to take care of her, so it's inconvenient to send troops to lead the battle, right?" ”
Xue Zilong nodded stupidly, and said, "Otherwise? General Qingshan is a person who values love and righteousness, he likes Doctor Fang so much, he will definitely not agree to Doctor Fang and us men mixing in the army every day, running around and tiring. ”
"You! You! …… You, you, you Xue Zilong, marching and fighting, you can memorize such complicated military books, and you can break such a difficult formation, how can you ...... Why is it such a little thing, you don't understand, what an elm pimple! Zhao Zhi was maddened by Xue Zilong in front of him, "If you have half of Qingshan's emotional intelligence, you won't even be able to catch up with Cardamom." ”
"Huh?! The Four Princes...... The Four Princes...... How do you know I like cardamom? Xue Zilong's face suddenly blushed, he was still a big husband just now, and in an instant, he became a woman on a sedan chair and twisted it.
"Just your little bit of caution, roast a leg of lamb and send it to others first, and from time to time you will go to people's houses to wash clothes and carry water." Zhao Zhi stared at the corner of his eyes with a smile full of content, and glanced at Xue Zilong, "It's a pity, I think that other people's cardamom just treat you as a big brother, and they don't have any intention of falling in love with it." ”
"Hey, hey, I...... I know that Cardamom may not like me in her heart, but ...... If you like someone, you don't have to have her, dominate her, or even marry her...... As long as I see her happy and laughing every day, I am very satisfied, very happy, and I am not afraid of being tired no matter how much work I do. Xue Zilong blushed and scratched his head, completely losing the might of a tough guy.
Zhao Zhi listened, a strange feeling surged in his heart, rolling in his chest, "If you like someone, you don't have to have her, dominate her, or even marry her...... Only, looking at her every day is happy......"
Zhao Zhi suddenly felt that Xue Zilong in front of him was a hundred times stronger than himself, a thousand times, he could give without asking for anything, wait without hope, and he was always suffering from gains and losses......
Zhao Zhi got up slowly, a faint flash of light appeared in his eyes, and he patted the tall Xue Zilong with a light smile, "Zilong, sometimes, I am not as good as you, I have been in the palace for a long time, and I am used to the days when I have to have everything and pinch everything in my own hands, and I have forgotten it...... There are some things that you can't get by wishful thinking. ”
After that, Zhao Zhi carried Xue Zilong on his back, led the horse with one hand, and walked out of the alley, stuffing steamed buns into his mouth with the other hand, like a fish in his throat, and the crystal in his eyes that was shining was suddenly covered with a layer of mist, even Zhao Zhi himself didn't know, what was this for?
The two of them went from the west of the city to the east of the city, and when they settled at the gate of the Meng Mansion, it was already noon, the mansion of the General Meng Mansion was majestic and atmospheric, and next to the vermilion gate, two majestic stone lions guarded it, so that the common people had a trace of awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"The Four Princes...... How do we get in, do we want to reveal our identities? "Xue Zilong Courtyard observed outside the front yard, although General Meng's Mansion was built with a magnificent high courtyard, but with his own and the four princes' kung fu, in the dead of night, there was no problem to turn in.
Zhao Zhi thought for a while, and saw a familiar figure with a waist coming out of the door of the Meng Mansion, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "We...... Wait for the rabbit. ”
The two walked around from the main gate to the remote street at the back gate of General Meng's mansion, where there were many casual workers waiting to find work, brick and wall, laundry and sewing, and of course, people like Zhao Zhi and the others who led horses and transported goods to people.
The two of them found a remote corner and squatted down, Xue Zilong asked puzzledly, "Four Emperors ......", just about to blurt out, look at the crowd around him, and then changed his words, "Fourth brother, why are we here, this seems to be a labor market, they are all people who wait for work, is it possible, do you want to make some silver...... Then you might as well let me go to the street to play with knives. ”
Zhao Zhi glared at Xue Zilong angrily, knocked his head hard, and rolled his eyes angrily: "The commander of the dignified iron-blooded young horseman, street performer, you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed, you are a brain...... In addition to leading troops to fight, my mind is full of shrimp paste, shrimp paste! Crab legs! ”
"Fourth brother...... How can I have shrimp paste and crab legs in my head? Are you hungry for shrimp sauce, I will gather my brothers to go down to the river to touch the shrimp for you, hehe. Xue Zilong smiled, not understanding what Zhao Zhi's face meant without tears.
"Just now...... When we were in front of General Meng's door, a woman came out, that woman I have seen, it was Tunchun's personal maid Linglong, who used to be Mrs. Li Wan's eyeliner arranged by my mother's side, and then I found out and expelled her from the palace, but I didn't expect it...... Now she has become the maid who swallows spring, this Mrs. Li Wan's minions can be stretched long enough......" Zhao Zhi's eyes flashed with a cold and cold light.
"But...... How did the fourth brother know that the maid must be Mrs. Tunchun's maid? I heard that General Meng also has a young and beautiful third aunt, and it is possible that he may ......"
"That third aunt is just a dusty woman, although she is loved by General Meng, but ...... After all, there is no background and power, but ...... She gave birth to two sons, so she is very useful to Tunchun. Come to think of it, the final outcome is very likely to be a sword in the hands of others. Zhao Zhi said coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the back door of General Meng's mansion.
Xue Zilong nodded in understanding, his right hand unconsciously rested on his left hand, and a bracelet made of rope and straw was tied around his wrist.
Zhao Zhi glanced at it, retracted his gaze, and smiled at the corners of his eyes and mouth, silently in his heart, "I will definitely let you get cardamom." (To be continued.) )
