Chapter 171: Arrival
It was not long before the early hours of the morning, and Ji Ji had been making all kinds of preparations. The jade pendant that Xie Lang gave her was to be carried with her no matter what, and the inexplicable landscape painting, Ji Ji hesitated for a while, but still put it close to her.
Then, it is a disguised thing, and when you walk outside, you naturally have to dress up as a man, so Ji Ji prepared a lot of men's clothes.
As for the manpower, she didn't bring much, Ji Ji's own servants were just average, far less capable than Xie Guang's others.
Just when Ji Ji prepared a qiē, the sky was also dawning.
It was dawn, but Xie Guang didn't come.
Ji Ji frowned.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the sun was rising over the horizon, Ji Ji ordered everyone to load things into the car, and said, "Go to the dock." ”
The pier was not far away, and it took half an hour to arrive, just when the sun had just risen in the east.
Jiankang in the early morning is always a little comfortable. In this era of self-sufficiency and underdeveloped commerce, the docks were not prosperous. In addition, the Jiankang people, who are accustomed to singing every night, do not like to get up early, so looking at it like this, there are only a dozen pedestrians scattered on the pier, and some boats moored there.
Although Ji Xi's convoy was small, there were six or seven vehicles, and at this moment, she looked at the empty dock, and she couldn't see half of the Xie clan's wharf at all, and her face was ugly from time to time.
At this time, Qin Xiaocao said in wonder behind her: "However, Xie Guanglangjun obviously came last night, it wasn't a dream." ”
Yes, Xie Guang's appearance last night was not a dream, but what is going on now?
Just when Ji Ji pursed her lips and stood on the dock a little puzzled and a little uneasy. A donkey cart drove not far away, and then, a servant came over and said to Ji Ji, "Aunt Ji, my wife wants to see you." ”
This servant Ji Ji knew that he was a steward trusted by the Xie Wang family.
Seeing that the Xie family finally appeared, Ji Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and she followed the steward to the donkey cart.
Sitting in the donkey cart was none other than Xie Wang's, and she saw Ji Ji. Slightly chin gestured. Then, Xie Wang said with a little arrogance and impatience: "Ji, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Eighteen Lang. Go back, go back to your estate and live your life. ”
Ji Ji's eyes narrowed. She said coldly, "I don't understand what you mean by that! In a blink of an eye, she asked again, "What about Xie Guang?" I want to see Xie Guang. ”
Xie Wang replied, "Xie Guang, they left by boat before dawn. ”
And so it was!
Ji Ji's face sank. She asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't they wait for me?" ”
Xie Wang is a little angry and a little funny. said: "I didn't expect that Aunt Ji would be in the limelight once, so she really regarded herself as a character." Speaking of this, Xie Wang said again: "Aunt Ji." Last time in Yangzhou, the reason why you solved the crisis of Shibalang was actually the credit of Cui Xuan, right? ”
Xie Wang continued: "Of course, you still have credit for that incident, after all, Eighteen Lang had such a big thing, you are still running for him, and you have never given up, which Chen Jun Xie is grateful to you. It's just that! Her voice suddenly mentioned, and she continued with a little disdain: "With that life-saving grace, you have to threaten Eighteen Lang and force him to make an oath not to marry a wife and take a concubine to the people of the world. Ji, your scheming is so deep that it really disgusts me! ”
Hearing this, Ji Ji couldn't help laughing, and she said to Xie Wang quite sincerely: "Madam is really imaginative! ”
Ji Ji's words were obviously mocking, and as soon as the words came out, Xie Wang's family became even more angry.
In the blink of an eye, she took a deep breath, holding back her anger, and Xie Wang said coldly: "In short, Eighteen Lang is now in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and there is no need to worry about Liu Yikang in that place." Now the most important thing for Eighteen Lang is to finish his work and return safely, so you don't want to make trouble! ”
Speaking of this, Xie Wang shouted: "Let's go!" As soon as the voice fell, her donkey cart turned and carried Xie Wang away from the house.
Seeing the back of Xie Wang's family, Ji Ji said coldly: "Go find the boat!" ”
"Yes!"
When Sun Fu and the others dispersed in a hurry, Ji Ji was still standing on the dock, and somehow, when she heard the five words of Guangling County, Xuzhou again, Ji Ji's eyebrows jumped.
stared forward expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly, Ji Ji remembered that there would be a catastrophe in Guangling County, Xuzhou in September this year! That catastrophe finally led more than 100 clans in Guangling County to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river, which caused a sensation in the whole world for a while!
It's just that she can't figure out what kind of disaster it is.
Just when Ji Ji was thinking about what kind of disaster it was, a sound of footsteps came, and Sun Fulu Shen and others hurriedly ran over and hurriedly said to Ji Ji: "Sister-in-law, those ships have their own places, and they refuse to use them for us. In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiaomu Ji Yun also ran over, and Ji Yun said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that the Xie clan of Chenjun has orders, and we can't rent any of those boats!" ”
Hearing this, Ji Ji ordered, "You stay here." Sun Fu, you take me to Chenjun Xie's trip. ”
Ji Ji was still at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, and saw Xie Sanlang, the husband of the Xie Wang family.
Xie Sanlang, although he is Xie Lang's brother and the sister-in-law of the Xie family of Chen County, he has no reputation in the world.
Seeing Xie Sanlang's donkey cart, Ji Ji hurriedly asked people to drive over. Fortunately, those subordinates recognized Ji Ji and did not stop him.
After a while, Ji Ji came to Xie Sanlang's donkey cart, she looked at Xie Sanlang, and said seriously: "Eighteen Lang has news, I want to go to see him, but I can't rent a boat, and I ask San Lang to make it convenient." ”
Xie Sanlang also inherited the good looks of Chen Jun Xie, but unlike Xie Lang, this person has no extraordinary temperament, and the whole person looks a little old-fashioned.
Hearing Ji Ji's words, Xie Sanlang said lightly: "I didn't let you go to the eighteenth brother, it was my order!" ”
When Ji Ji suddenly raised his head, Xie Sanlang slowed down his voice, and he said slowly: "Aunt Ji, you should know that you are very good-looking. This kind of appearance, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is not familiar with the place of life, is easy to cause disasters. Now the eighteenth brother is in a dilemma outside. I don't want him to be distracted from protecting you. ”
This explanation is more reasonable than Xie Wang's. Ji Ji replied seriously: "San Lang is wrong, I have the art of disguise, and I can walk as a man." Ji Ji didn't want the Jiankang people to find out that she was proficient in disguise, and then suspected Ji Yue, so she was going to pretend to be a man after getting on the boat.
Explaining this, Ji Ji said again: "If San Lang doesn't believe it, Ji Ji can show it to San Lang." ”
Xie Saburo was unmoved, he looked at Ji Ji expressionlessly, and said, "Even if you can pretend to be a man, so what?" Now we are sent to Eighteen Lang. A variety of talents have been included. You're a girl. It's better to stay in a safe place like Jiankang and wait for Eighteen Lang to come back. After a slight pause, Xie Saburo said again: "Ji, the road is dangerous. Eighteen Lang only cares about your safety before leaving. So. You will reassure him. You don't have to put yourself at risk. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Saburo turned his head, "Let's go." "In the blink of an eye. His command came again, "A few of you send one to Aunt Ji." Then, the donkey cart drove away, and in a blink of an eye, Ji Ji was left behind.
A few of Xie Saburo's subordinates surrounded Ji Xi's donkey cart and drove towards the street.
As he walked, he said softly: "Aunt Ji doesn't need to worry too much, there are many outstanding people among the people sent by the family this time, and they will definitely be able to help Eighteen Lang return safely." ”
The other part is to say: "When Eighteen Lang left, he never forgot the safety of his sister-in-law. Now as long as the sister-in-law protects herself, it is the best explanation for Eighteen Lang. ”
There is also a part that says: "After all, my sister-in-law is just a woman, and she was born with such a look, on the way to the Northern Wei Dynasty, I don't know how many bandits and demons, and my sister-in-law will only drag everyone down." ”
"Yes, it's superfluous when my sister-in-law goes."
In the words of persuasion one after another, Ji Ji ignored them with a light face, and these people gradually became cold when they saw her like this.
With these parts staring at it, Ji Ji and his party had to return to the manor.
As soon as she returned to the manor, Ji Ji sent someone to find a way to get the boat, while pacing around the study.
What is the big event that happened in Guangling County? Come to think of it, the thing that can make so many clans desperate and commit suicide must be very terrible and make people completely desperate. In the study, Ji Ji racked her brains and thought about it.
Next, although Sun Fu and others found Chen Taichong, Yuan Sanshilang and others, the answers of those people were the same as Chen Sanlang's reply, they said that they also knew the whereabouts of Eighteen Lang, and they all sent powerful people around them to help. They also said that it would be useless for Ji Ji to go, it would only add to the chaos, and it was better not to go.
Just when Ji Ji was a little desperate, at night, a group of people quietly appeared in the manor.
Among this group, it was Xie Guang who took the lead.
But it turned out that after Xie Guang was forced by Xie Saburo to leave by boat first, they, the subordinates around Xie Lang, were uneasy about Ji Ji's inability to go together. So, halfway through the boat, they stopped, and now, Xie Guang is here to pick up Ji Ji on the boat.
Ji Ji and his party came to the dock again.
Now that the sky is just dawning, Xie Guang took Ji Ji to a corner of the dock, where there are more than a dozen fast boats, which can completely fill the luggage and manpower brought by Ji Ji.
In this way, when the sun rose in the middle of the sky, Ji Ji and his party had already caught up with the ship of the Xie clan, so in the happy and trusting eyes of Xie Jing Xie Cai and Xie Lang's descendants, Ji Ji got on the boat.
As soon as she returned to the boat, Ji Ji disguised herself as a man. If Ji Yue is different, this time Ji Ji deliberately blackened herself, in this era of fair-skinned beauty, her black appearance is less than three points.
After the settlement was completed, Ji Ji found Xie Guang and learned from him that the team sent by the Xie clan of Chen County to Xuzhou was divided into several batches. This boat is full of Xie Lang's old department. As for how the others will go, Xie Guang still doesn't know.
Because Xie Guang and others are veterans of walking the rivers and lakes, and Ji Ji is also quite anxious, the group walked for a month or two, and then arrived in Xuzhou without wind or danger.
……
Gwangneung-gun.
Guangling County, which is approaching September in August, has a slight coolness in the air compared to Jiangnan.
After three or four months of running and walking, Xie Lang has lost a lot of weight, and the white clothes on his body, when the wind blows, are rolling up the whole person as if he wants to go with the wind.
Sitting opposite Xie Lang was a handsome Lang Jun. This Lang Jun's thin lips were pursed very tightly, there was no expression on his white jade-like handsome face, and the whole person had an indescribable coldness, such a temperament with his outstanding appearance looked extremely extraordinary.
This Lang Jun, known as Tan Zhirui, is one of the five beautiful men in Jiankang. However, he has been an official in Xuzhou, and this time Xie Lang had an accident, and it was his plans and tactics that made Xie Lang safe until now.
Although Tan Zhirui has a cold personality, he is Xie Lang's close friend, and he talks a lot when he is with him. Seeing him looking in the direction of Jiangnan, Tan Zhirui asked, "Don't worry about your family?" ”
Xie Lang chuckled, and he replied, "What is there to worry about in the Chen Jun Xie Clan?" In the blink of an eye, he sighed softly, "But I miss my woman." ”
Tan Zhirui has never paid attention to women. Hearing this, he laughed, "I didn't expect the famous Xie Eighteen to be guilty of lovesickness, it's really a strange thing!" ”
In the face of his ridicule, Xie Lang didn't care, he just raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle, and said slowly: "You don't understand this." People like us, what kind of women have not been seen since childhood? What kind of amorous battle is not ordinary? But the more this is the case, the more one day I meet someone who is moved by love, and I use more thoughts than ordinary people! ”
In the blink of an eye, he whispered self-deprecatingly, "Do you believe it or not? In order that my woman may devote herself to me, and never think twice, I have used all these thirty-six tricks almost all these years. ”
As soon as Xie Lang said this, Tan Zhirui raised his head and looked at him. After a while, Tan Zhirui laughed loudly, he was really happy, laughing and patting a few cases, and finally the laughter stopped, and he shouted loudly at the top of his throat: "Wine, wine!" Ben Langjun heard the most pleasant thing in his life, and he had to drink it today! I think he hasn't laughed like this for many years, and his voice is hoarse after laughing twice, and his voice is even more sandy when he shouts like this.
After a while, the wine came up. Tan Zhirui held the wine cup and shook it towards Xie Lang, and said: "This cup, I respect the heavens and finally have eyes, Xie Eighteen has finally been retributed!" ”
After he drank it all by himself, he poured himself another cup of wine, shook it towards Xie Lang again, and said again: "This cup, respect for the amorous Xie Eighteen, now that he has lost his way and is wholeheartedly infatuated with one person, it is really a good thing for the sister-in-law in the world." Please! ”
Smiling and laughing, drinking and drinking, Tan Zhirui suddenly shed tears, he raised his head and drank the third cup of wine, and said: "This cup, respect us people like those who have swords and axes and necks, and are ready to drink three cups with the king of Hades at any time." How lucky it is to meet a woman who can be obsessed with, do all kinds of stupid things for, and run out of scheming in our absurd, short, and boring lives? I've lived for more than 20 years, and I feel like the walking dead all the time. I can't imagine that you Xie Lang is lucky, you can feel the tiredness of the haunting dream, be able to enjoy the joy of lingering love, and the pain of fear because of love, it is really jealous! ”
