Episode 083: Caught by a miss

The first snow stopped suddenly, the wind rose, and the mansion of the Marquis of Jiansheng was already covered in silver. Sui Yu stood in front of the window, ignoring the whining wind in his ears.

It has been a few days since Guo Lin and Shui Sheng infiltrated the Dongye Realm, and Jin Sheng's stay in Shengzhou was not short. Neither passer-by has returned, and now a new snow has been added, blocking the mountain and blocking the road, adding obstacles to their return.

"Drink the medicine." Feng Ran walked in with the decoction medicine, "It's the tuyere, do you want to get sick?" Her voice was slightly cold, and she spoke thoughtful words with sarcasm.

Sui Yu came back to his senses, obediently picked up the medicine bowl and drank it up to his neck, no matter how bitter the decoction was, he didn't frown, he knew that Feng Ran was now looking at himself ten thousand unpleasantly.

"An outsider of unknown origin is lying in the west main house, so I asked Zi'er to go to the backyard to pick up a house and come out." Sui Yu coughed lightly and stretched out his fingers to wipe the medicine stains on his lips. He didn't dare to make Zhao Fengran take the empty bowl, but walked to the side of the desk and put it back.

"That...... When she can get off the ground, we'll let her go. His eyes were fixed on Feng Ran, "Saving her back home, I didn't think about it." ”

"What else do you need to think about saving lives?" Feng Ran walked back, propped himself on the side of the desk with one palm, and said with a smile: "We can afford charcoal this year, but the population has also increased a lot." Deng's daughter-in-law has just finished reporting to me, and we are still very poor. ”

Sui Yu's breathing was slightly suffocated, and his thin lips were almost stretched into a line. It's such a mess inside and outside the house, why does he have to move that compassion?

"From tonight, Daqi and Daughter-in-law Deng will come over here to live first, and let Zi'er stay over there to take care of her." Feng Ran smiled, "That girl's name is Ning Wu, what a nice name, look at her skills, she shouldn't be under Ling Tian'er." ”

These, Sui Yu judged early. He didn't care what the girl's name was, so he hurriedly said, "Do you suspect that she is a spy from Higashino?" ”

Feng Ran shrugged his shoulders and said with a narrow smile: "Ning Wu doesn't trust me, if you, the benevolent father, come out, it may be easier to do." She is weak now and can't hurt others, who knows if she will hurt the people in the house again after a while. I provoked her to say two words, and stabilized her first. But you have to let her confess, otherwise you won't be able to completely feel at ease. ”

"I'm not going."

"Do you think Ning Wu will believe that Rongwang is her father-in-law? Besides, she saw that you weren't in a wheelchair. If she is really a spy on which side, whether to stay or kill, don't you have to make a decision? ”

Feng Ran was negative in his heart, but he had to surrender when faced with important things.

"Then you come with me." Sui Yu's ears were crimson, and he seemed to say sincerely, "There's nothing to hide from you." ”

"Are you going to go by yourself?" Feng Dye Nunu's mouth, pretending to be stunned.

"No, no, no, I don't." Sui Yu was aggrieved and said, "Lady, I just can't speak, you know." ”

Feng Ran burst out laughing, thinking about what Sui Yu said very well, he had already blown his beard and glared at himself before, maybe he was holding back his anger in his heart at this time.

She got up suddenly and said, "Then let's go over, I guess Brother Rong has also finished pouring medicine on her." ”

Sui Yu responded hastily, and went back to Ning Wu with Feng Ran.

A snowfall stretches from North Lijin County to Dongye Chihuyi. There is still fine-grained snow at the end of Jinxian, and when it comes to Chihuyi, it becomes fluffy snow flakes.

Shui Sheng and Guo Lin chose to settle in an extremely dilapidated small inn on the outskirts of the city, but unexpectedly, the outside has become a scene of "thousands of trees and pear blossoms" overnight.

The two of them packed up in the guest room while discussing their itinerary for the day, and the heavy snow could not stop their pace.

"We only saw that the horses of the two counties entered the capital to pay tribute, why didn't the horses of the big counties come over?"

Guo Lin spit out white gas in his mouth, this small inn is not exquisite, it is simple and frozen. He tightened his arm and knee pads over his thick coat, and then put the dagger he used for self-defense. His long knife, which never left his body, was forced to be placed in the mansion of the Marquis of Jiansheng, and it was too dazzling to bring it.

Shui Sheng brought in two bowls of white porridge that was almost bottoming out from outside the room, and two hardened pancakes.

"Come and eat while it's hot." Shui Sheng said with a smile, "I thought it was because the place we chose was shabby, so I ate so shabby." After a few days, I realized that this is almost the case in Chihuyi. If it is inferred from the moment, Dongye will pay tribute to Beili this year according to last year's share, but I am afraid that it will ......"

Guo Lin sat down at the table that was about to fall apart, and he was about to knock out his teeth with just one bite of the pancake. He scolded angrily, covered his cheeks and said, "We still have grievances, let alone the people of Dongye." I don't know what the lord of Higashino will do. ”

"The clan tent of the Mana branch of the big county sits on the old capital of Dongye." Shui Sheng moved the sea bowl in front of Guo Lin and tore the pancakes into small pieces for him and soaked them in white porridge, "It is not counted in the twelve counties, in other words, the big county horse should be a close relative of the royal family." The royal family and nobles do not pay taxes and tribute, this is the rule, and the same is true of Beili. ”

"In Beili, there is no comparison between the two county horses, but not in Dongye."

Yesterday, Shui Sheng popularized a lot of Dongye information for Guo Lin, and he can now think through a lot of things. Guo Lin continued to eat pancakes, "Ling Che doesn't have a son, and there is very little chance of having another son in this life." The two county horses are naturally listed as candidates for the next throne. One family pays so much tribute, but the family doesn't pay a penny, and I don't know what to scold in private. ”

"Ling Che is in danger." Shui Sheng learned some more history in the past few days, "Even now, the life of the common people is still difficult, and the relationship between the major clan accounts of the twelve counties and the Dongye Imperial Court is so tense, no wonder Ling Che wants to get the Hou Ye." ”

After Shui Sheng and Guo Lin barely ate a few bites, the white porridge was already cold, and the two of them reluctantly pushed away the sea bowl and prepared to go out on the road.

"Hou Ye's past achievements don't need to be talked about, just his understanding of Beili's military affairs is enough to make Ling Che tempted. Before Dongye, Hou Ye had guessed these problems, but he didn't expect that Dongye's situation was worse than we imagined. ”

The two of them walked out of the small inn, and there were many ruts and messy footprints on the snow-white dirt road.

The aquatic life looked around vigilantly, "Let's go, let's see what else we can get today." ”

Guo Lin snorted and said, "What if...... If our marquis can be the county horse of the little county lord, will he have a chance to ascend to the position of the lord of the East Field? ”

Shui Sheng kicked him hard in the back and kicked Guo Lin down in the snow.

"Let's talk about this between the two of us, dare to say a word nonsense when you go back to the Hou Mansion, don't blame me for not reminding you today."

Today's temperature is very cold, and both of them wear thick clothes. was already bulky to walk, and the cold was born by the water so that Guo Lin couldn't stand up for half a day. Shui Sheng didn't help him, and Guo Lin, who fell into the snow, made up for it, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Ji Mu!" Ji Mu is the real name of Shuisheng, Guo Lin was so angry that he shouted in a low voice, "You fuck!" ”

Guo Lin crawled straight up, and just wanted to grab Shui Sheng's clothes to give him a counterattack, when he saw Shui Sheng glaring at him very solemnly.

"Don't shout, bring in another person. Without the little lady of our family, do you think Master Hou can live until now? Can you get back on your feet? You weren't there for most of the hardest half of the year, and you don't know how we got through it. ”

Guo Lin smiled embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "I'm just talking casually~ Besides, it's not common for men to have three wives and four concubines?" If the marquis really joins Dongye in the future and marries the little county lord, it will also be a good thing for the lady! With this reliance, it's better than the unreliable Cao family and the Feng family, right? ”

The two of them had been on the road for a long time, and when they arrived near the Dongye Palace, they were already sweating a lot. They had no choice but to find a shelter and look out around the palace.

Dongye Imperial Palace is like a palace in Beili, the scale is much smaller, and the magnificence cannot be compared.

Today, when the snow stopped, Ling Tian'er was in a good mood, and after picking a noon, she rode out of the palace. Rob and the others followed behind, knowing that their master liked to go wild in this kind of weather.

However, she knew that she liked not only Rob and them, but also Dige, who followed Ma Dizhen of the second county into the capital. He waited on the periphery of the palace like a rabbit, and when Ling Tian'er hit the horse and left the palace, he rushed out of the shadows and stuck to her with a hippie smile.

Ling Tian'er flicked the horsewhip and said shamelessly: "Get out of the way for the county lord, otherwise you will look good!" ”

"Lord Tian'er, don't be so fierce to me. I came all the way from Danjun to visit you, and you can't bear to refuse me thousands of miles away? ”

Digg and his brother Di Zhen looked very similar, both tall and thin, with dark skin. Di Zhen's eyes were rounder, and Di Ge had more dimples. Di Zhen has the upper hand in riding skills and archery, but Di Ge is more loved by his parents.

The idea of letting him fight Ling Tian'er was entirely because he really had a good impression of Ling Tian'er, otherwise he wouldn't have run to Chihuyi again and again.

"I should have dragged you to my brother-in-law." Ling Tian'er tightened her horse's bridles, "Let's run a lap, and if I win, you will disappear in front of me." ”

"What if I win?"

"Impossible!" Ling Tian'er said proudly.

As soon as the words fell, she had already galloped up. Digg followed, laughter echoing around the palace walls.

Guo Lin, who was hiding in the shadows, winked his eyebrows at Shui Sheng, and whispered, "This little county lord is quite popular. ”

"I really let you guess, whoever can marry back the little lord will have a chance to become the next lord of the Higashino country." Shui Sheng sarcastically said, "Why don't you Guo Jiang do your best?" Which of the Hou Ye's achievements did not have you in that year? ”

"Brother Shui, can we not talk like this?" Guo Lin changed his legs and pounded his feet, it was too cold outside.

"It seems that Ling Tian'er either doesn't care about the suffering of the people, or she just doesn't know the truth underneath." The aquatic life took a cool breath and shivered.

"It's so cold, do you two want to find a place to warm up?"

Ling Tian'er's hearty voice came from behind her, and Guo Lin and Shui Shengwu turned around, only to see that the guy named Dige was no longer beside her.

Rob led the two of them in the center on horseback and laughed, this time on their territory.

Guo Lin and Shui Sheng stood with their backs to each other, and since they were discovered by the other party, they either fled or died, and there was no third way to choose.

Both of them had experienced the most tragic war, and it had been too long since they had been discharged from the army with Sui Yu for too long.

The two of them only had a moment of terror to calm down, and they had been ready for death.

Ling Tian'er threw up her horsewhip and walked closer, and said with a smile: "You don't have to dig out the knife anymore, I won't want your life." Don't worry, I won't arrest you, I'll go to ......," she looked in front of her, "just go and sit in the restaurant in front." ”

Shui Sheng and Guo Lin were suspicious, but they still didn't dare to let their guard down.

Ling Tian'er stepped off the horse, walked in front of the two, bowed her head slightly, and said, "If you come to the palace early this morning, I will get the letter." It's no wonder that you're unlucky, Chihuyi was built not long ago, and the flow of people is not as much as in your Jinxian County. After a heavy snowfall, not many people go out to the streets. No matter how much you two hide it, you are different from the Dongye people after all. ”

"Less nonsense." Guo Lin said fiercely, and had already taken out a dagger from his body, wanting to fight to the death.

Seeing him take out his dagger, Rob suddenly jumped in front of Ling Tian'er, "County Lord be careful!" ”

Ling Tian'er pushed him to the side and smiled fearlessly, "What do you want to know when you come to Dongye?" Why is it so sneaky, my father said a long time ago, and he is completely open and honest with your master. ”
