Chapter 224: Neighbors are more timid
Zhou Manyun's hand was still on the door, and the whole person was wrapped in a red cloud, which was as hot as a fire.
Embraced by the enthusiastic Hongmei screaming, Man Yun, who gently curled the corners of her mouth, could clearly see that the old lady Qin, who had taken her and Xu Yu for two days, was standing by the door, her eyebrows and eyes were kindly curved, full of trust and doting.
Although according to the several contact locations provided by Hongmei in the past, the two people who lived in Heban Village, the southern suburb of Xiakou, who had been staying in the boarding room, were polite and plain. Even Man Yun overheard that the old lady secretly colluded with the neighbors, saying that as long as they found out that she and Xu Yu would be detrimental to the peace of the fishing village, everyone would directly do a favor and send people into the Crystal Palace.
In recent years, the north of the river has been unstable, and the children and grandchildren of Mrs. Qin and some villagers have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and they are mixed in Yunjinfan. And Yun Jinfan also took some people who were still in love with their homeland as their eyes and ears in the Northland.
But it is obvious that Mrs. Qin's joy when she sees Hongmei is not all for her to be everyone's name.
If people in the world throw away the restrictions of birth and family, there will be infinite possibilities. Just like the red plum is born with a friendly face and a cheerful personality, it is sunny compared to her slightly gloomy self, which makes people feel closer, and as long as it is slightly carved, it will exude the charm that makes people fall in love with it.
Stretching out Hongmei's embrace, Man Yun looked at the girl in front of her with red eyes but still with a warm face, and was full of emotion.
"Who told the young lady that she wouldn't take me!" As soon as the door closed, listening to Man Yun talk about the general experience of the past two months, Hongmei's small mouth pouted, and she could fill the pillar of the ship that tied the small boat.
Man Yun had made an appointment with her to wait in Jinli Bay on September 20, but Hongmei had already wandered back and forth on the Tuojiang River for a few days, and she was afraid that there would be wind and rain and the letter date was wrong. And after listening to the rumors of the secret post by the river. said that there was a "little fish girl" who came with an injury, and the whole person was in a hurry to get angry, and ran to the ground in a hurry.
As a result, I really saw a woman with a pale face like a ghost. Although there was an eye-catching pillar that had been clubbed on the side, as soon as Ramanyun's thin wrist was sent, Hongmei found an old bruise in her eye.
Silver poisons and works. But it has become an unusual wound medicine. Man Yun pulled down his sleeves with a wry smile, and said with a smile: "There are clear guns and arrows on the river, and it is more suitable for the big red master to go straight to the ground." But since you have caught up with me this time, I have to drag you to take Yun Jinfan's dark stake to do something again. ”
"What did the young lady say! Yun Jinfan is not yours! That is, outsiders are ignorant, so they coax me to play as a big boss! Hongmei dragged Man Yun's hand in disgust, full of grievances.
Zhou Manyun shook his head noncommittally.
There are some obvious things, she doesn't want to be entangled with Hongmei who still has a loyal heart, and just wait for time to give Zuihou the result. He is not wise that is not wise for himself. According to his own heart, if he really led Yun Jinfan in person, he would just bring a cadre of people into the abyss of trouble. She understands it, and she has also talked about it in private with her mother-in-law Du Shi and others, and in Du Shi's eyes, Hongmei, who has a temperament and appetite, is also the most haode candidate.
Perhaps, the most suitable for me is still the kind of lonely life. suddenly thought of the word "Du", and Zhou Manyun couldn't help but hold his chest that was stuffy for a while.
"Miss mean let me take someone to find my uncle? Just confirm where the others are, and then we'll evacuate Natsuguchi with everyone? ”。 Hongmei chewed on the task repeatedly in her mouth for a long time, and asked with some hesitation: "Don't you have to stay on the boat and wait for you to go back to Jiangnan together?" Your wedding has been delayed for a year! If he is in the mouth of the summer. Wouldn't it be better to go to Huocheng together to get married? ”
"Just find him! He still has poison on his body and needs to be cured ...... first", Man Yun lowered his head and replied softly, hiding the sourness in his eyes.
What will happen to him after he has been detoxified? Zhou Manyun, who suffered from gains and losses, didn't dare to think about it.
Xu Yu, who had been standing against the wall with his arms crossed, stared at Zhou Manyun, turned his head sideways, and raised his chin slightly. I looked at the thread of spider silk floating on the beams of the house......
The Yunzhou army was stationed in Puzhen, northeast of Xiakou City, and it is said that Xiao Ze and several younger brothers were there!
With Hongmei, an unexpected new force, Zhou Manyun, who did not dare to enter the city or ask someone to inquire about the affairs of the city, soon got such news at dusk on the second day.
"First of all, Xiao Yuan was injured in Puzhen, and Xiao Ze took his two younger brothers out of the city to investigate. Then, the sixth and eighth elders of the Xiao family fought each other over trivial matters. The eighth child broke his arm, and Xiao Hong's face was almost broken. There was a eunuch surnamed Hu in the palace who led people to Puzhen to investigate the injuries of the Xiao family's brothers, but Xiao Shizi was afraid that the Xiao family's blood and light disaster would not be profitable, so he drove him directly. Then, in accordance with the emperor's order, several ministers' residences were inspected in the palace......"
With the news that Hongmei had detected in his mouth, a cluster of flames slowly ignited in Man Yun's eyes.
was almost broken, just this word is enough to prove that even if Xiao Hong is not in Pu Zhen's Yunzhou army, Xiao Ze also knows his whereabouts.
It would be better to venture back to the palace than to go back to Puzhen.
"I'll go with you!" , the unanimous automatic invitation comes from the two. Hongmei rolled her eyes at Xu Yu, who was louder than herself, and hummed at the tip of her nose. When the young man was in Huocheng, he often ran away from home, and Young Master Yu owed Hongmei a little respect.
"Hongmei, you still want Zhang Luo to preside over the departure of a large group of people from the city! In addition to the relatives of the people in Yunjinfan, there is also the Cai family! The cause and effect of the world, once they are married, there are more incomprehensible branches and vines. When Hongmei went north, she carried a letter from the second son of the Cai family to Mrs. Cai in her arms. If you want to think about the last time you were threatened by Wang's mother with the Lianfeng, how to move the Cai family from Xiakou City is also a difficult matter.
Xu Yu glanced at Hongmei, who was stunned, as if in revenge.
"Brother! You should still have someone to answer in Xiakou City, if such a big incident happens, presumably the letter has already gone north, do you want to contact them as well? Manyun asked tentatively.
After going through the palace affairs, she can be regarded as one of the reasons why Northern Chu decisively broke the river and cut off the way for Emperor Taiye to return to the north. Not to mention anything else, whose son is dead, Lao Tzu will not ruthlessly cut off the enemy's back road. It's just that with the retaliation of Northern Chu, the Huang Zhou army in the east will also take advantage of this opportunity to besiege the city.
Xiakou City is now a big pot of porridge, and everyone wants to stretch out the spoon and get it dry early.
"I'm afraid that if I follow you, it will make him misunderstand even more?" Xu Yu turned his head sideways and said in a deep voice: "But I think, the matter is up to me, if I can, I can explain it to him in person." ”
The hand placed on the side of the leg is clenched, and the bone joints protrude. Hidden is the young man's determination to call his future brother-in-law if he doesn't listen to persuasion.
"He's not the kind of person with a chick's belly ......," Man Yun squeaked softly in his mouth.
On the sixth day of September, the weather is sunny and the north wind is hunting.
Man Yun stood on top of a hill outside Park Town, standing still.
From a distance, you can look at a camp under the hillside, and a big flag is waving in the wind, with gold rolling on a black background, and a big golden scene in the middle, showing swagger.
The flag of Jingguo Mansion is embroidered with gold, which is the order of Emperor Gaozu when the Chen Dynasty was founded. Even if the world has been ups and downs for several generations, it still holds on to the glory and glory of the past. Faintly, there was a sometimes loud and sometimes small sound hitting the ear drums, like the footsteps of horses in the school field, and like the shouts of the soldiers in practice.
"The camps are cleaned up, the army is arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no training for many years. The Xiao family also said that they went to the Sui Han Kingdom to attack Yunzhou, so they hurriedly gathered troops and horses. What a fool to take everyone in the world for a fool! ”。 Xu Yu, who was standing beside Man Yun, gritted his teeth fiercely and cursed lightly. For them, the thieves who are clearly against the imperial court, the Xiao family's false pretext of saving the driver, but actually clearing out the officials and troops who annexed the Quartet, is the most troublesome.
If it's not your own sister's like. The Xiao family, who has been able to endure for decades under the emperor's nose, is really not a good mother-in-law.
Xu Yuchang let out a sullen breath, turned his head to look at Man Yun's even paler face, and suggested softly: "Sister Yun, let's go down!" ”
Zhou Manyun's hand rested on a masson pine and nodded. The smile was bleak.
Walking slowly, the camp tent under the mountain got closer and closer, but Zhou Manyun couldn't move his steps more and more.
Since Qingyuan said goodbye that year, Zaijian Xiao Hong has only stayed together for more than two moments in the palace after an interval of more than a year. Then came the thrilling separation again.
And, zuihou, it was she who abandoned him.
Man Yun's steps became more and more timid, and his heart beat like a drum, as if the whole person had been soaked in the blood and rain in his dreams day and night, and his bones were soft and soft, and he almost wanted to turn into mud.
There were still fifty or sixty zhang away from the gate of the village, and the sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and Xu Yu hurriedly dragged the man Yun beside him to the side.
With a neighing sound, the horse's hooves that stood up fell in front of Man Yun's eyes, and on top of the black horse, a knight in black armor looked down at the two villagers standing on the side of the road. The black helmet was branded with hideous gluttonous patterns, and a face was also blocked by a black black iron mask, only the eyes were exposed, and the mask was inlaid with nostrils with gold rings and a wide mouth with two sharp fangs.
This mask has been seen before. Zhou Manyun's feet trembled more and more, and he raised his eyes with tears in his eyes to look closely.
"Sixth brother!" Behind the knight in the dark clothes came a green-robed young man riding a chestnut horse, his head covered only by a light leather crown, and one arm was wrapped in a white cloth and hung on his chest with a plank, and his black face was full of questions.
"Get rid of these two! If you get closer to the barracks cordon, you can kill it! The masked knight coldly spat out the order, turned his horse's head, and headed towards the camp gate again.
Driven away by several sergeants holding long poles, Zhou Manyun grabbed Xu Yu's hand and slowly retreated, staring at the people who were turning over and dismounting at the camp gate without blinking.
After the sergeant with the pole reprimanded and left, Zhou Manyun, who came back to his senses, immediately grabbed Xu Yu's hand and ran towards the grove on the side of the road.
Leaning next to a tree, Man Yun's chest rose and fell like pulling a bellows, and tears rolled in his eyes.
"He didn't recognize you? Or did they recognize you and drive you away? Thinking of the rumors that the Xiao brothers were injured by beating each other, Xiao Hong's ranking, and the distinction between the dignity and inferiority of the team of knights just now, Xu Yu suddenly turned his handsome face, turned back angrily, and wanted to find another explanation.
"It's not!" , Zhou Manyun took a step forward, dragged Xu Yu's hand tightly and said, "That person is not him!" ”
The black-skinned young man is Xiao Long, the youngest of the Xiao family, and the black horse shadow and gluttonous Xuanjia are all from Xiao Hong in his previous life, but the man with a similar voice under the mask is not him at all. (To be continued......)
