Chapter 53: Wake Up......
The mouth of the steep river was a hundred miles away, not far away, and the four of them galloped at the cost of horsepower, and they had already arrived at the town of the mouth of the steep river at night.
After writing a note and tying it to the well-fed little sparrow, ignoring the little sparrow's loveless eyes, he let it out, and then waited in the inn where he stayed, so as not to find the master of the little sparrow.
The wedding boat departed from Binzhou, followed the coastline channel, and reached the mouth of the steep river for about four hundred miles, the intelligence of the sparrow is top-notch among the birds, but it is not good at long-distance flight, even if it is a good breed carefully cultivated by Zhongli Jiujiu, it will take time in the past, and the sparrow will come back after sending the letter, I am afraid it will be tomorrow.
Steep Hekou Town is a coastal wharf, the cold winter is not good to go to sea, a large number of ships are moored in the port, the town is brightly lit, the local fishermen and boatmen who eat by the sea are idle at home, the town market is very lively, the New Year is approaching, and there are dragon and lion dance teams passing through the streets.
After running for hundreds of miles in a row, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest and adjust the fatigue of hunger and cold in the past few days.
Xu Buling was indeed tired in the past two days, and fell into a deep sleep after falling on the pillow, until in the dead of night, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the street outside the window, and woke him up again.
Jingle bell - Jingle bell - Jingle bell -
The sound of horseshoes on the street and horse bells is crisp and very different from ordinary horses.
Xu Buling was very familiar with this voice, turned his head up, pushed open the window and took a look, and saw a messenger with a yellow flag on his back, speeding past the street and disappearing at the end of his vision.
is in possession of the jade seal of the country, and it is self-evident how serious it is to be discovered.
The reason why Xu Buling settled here is because this place is the only way to pass through the official road between the north and the south, and any movement can be found at the first time.
The yellow flag behind the back is the meaning of 800 miles of urgency, the post envoy who has not arrived at the time, or the person who obstructs the post envoy, all according to the delay of the military situation, the big crime of copying and beheading, generally the border pass has a big change before the yellow flag will be planted, Xu Buling is very familiar with this process.
The post envoy in front of him came from the western part of Liaoning, either because there was an urgent battle report from the Liaoxi Protectorate, or because he had informed Chang'an City about Bodhi Island.
Xu Buling stood at the window, thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter of Bodhi Island was more likely.
The yellow flag behind the back is generally a secret report, and the code words are different in various places, and there is no code book of the Ministry of War, and it is impossible to understand the post envoy who has been robbed, and the whole family will lose their heads. If there is really chaos at the border pass, I don't know how many people and soldiers at the border pass will be harmed by this move.
After all, Xu Buling was born in Jiangmen, and after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't do such an angry thing, but just kept this matter in mind for the time being.
It's already dark, and I'm afraid it's already the third watch.
Xu Buling closed the window and prepared to lie back in the quilt to continue warming the little nightingale's bed, but when he woke up, he didn't feel sleepy.
Wake up......
Xu Buling blinked, looked for a few things in the house, walked out of the door lightly, came to the door of Zhongli Jiujiu next door, and gently raised his hand and knocked......
----------
The long night was silent.
The oil lamp in the inn room had been extinguished, and after Zhongli Jiujiu had freshened up, he was lying on the pillow with his clothes in his hands, holding a few small bottles in his hands, and he didn't dare to fall asleep.
In the underground stone room, inexplicably and Xu Buling worshiped heaven and earth, and when I thought back in the dead of night, I felt like I had lost my mind and gone crazy.
But he has already worshiped heaven and earth, and even the marriage book has been drawn, and the trouble is made to the prince of Yama who is Xu Buling's daughter-in-law, and it seems useless to regret it......
In fact, I don't regret it, I just feel like a loss......
Zhongli Jiujiu bit his lower lip and sighed faintly, his delicate cheeks full of complexity.
She approached Xu Buling at first, indeed to compare herself with Ning Yuhe. But then so many things happened, how could I not feel anything in my heart.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the siege of Longtan, Xu Buling was not sure if it was her, just in case, a hundred miles of running directly and almost ran to death the chasing horse.
A wind-chasing horse is worth more than 10,000 gold, in South Vietnam, it is not impossible to come back from another city, how many people in the world can do this for acquaintances?
Zhongli Jiujiu was very moved at that time, and was willing to hold Xu Buling to warm him, in fact, he already liked this powerful and warm-hearted man a little. When she was on Bodhi Island, Xu Buling protected her everywhere, and she saw it in her eyes. century
At that time, she was scared, she wanted to talk, she wanted to listen to others, so Xu Buling told her stories when there was not much water, and her mouth was dry.
In that desperate situation, wasting strength and water gossiping, it can be said that he was comforting her at the cost of his remaining life.
Zhongli Jiujiu thought back at this time, and he couldn't wait to pump himself twice, feeling why he was so unreasonable, heartless, and heartless, he could hold on for a while more if he was calm and didn't speak, but he had to make trouble, and when he saw that Xu Buling kept talking, he didn't know how to stop it, but listened stupidly.
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zhongli Jiujiu felt afraid in his heart - if the mechanism was really damaged at that time, it would only be a quarter of an hour away from the rescue to break through the stone wall, and Xu Buling didn't hold up the last little bit of time because of these trivial things......
It's good that she died, if she survived under Xu Buling's care, how much regret she would have for the rest of her life, she didn't dare to think about it, I'm afraid she wouldn't even dare to die.
Thinking back on these big and small things, Zhong Li Jiujiu knew very well that compared with power, wealth and even life, Xu Buling cared more about the people around him.
In order to let her live for half an hour longer, what kind of life can she give up, what else is she hesitating about?
However, I still feel a bit of a loss......
Why should I be behind Ning Yuhe?
Zhongli Jiujiu looked at the top of the curtain with his eyes, and sighed faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rather than being tangled, it might be more appropriate to say that you are afraid.
When her daughter's family gets married, where is there anyone who is not afraid, she is still a chick, and she wants a cave house!
When she arrived at the inn, she was afraid that Xu Buling would run in and mess around, and she didn't know how to face it or what to do.
I was a little resistant, but when I washed, I still washed it several times inside and out, for fear that when Xu Buling took off her clothes, she would find out where she was not clean, so as to leave some bad flaws on the most important night in her life......
After all, it's your own father-in-law......
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I couldn't sleep at all.
Zhongli Jiujiu held the small bottle, wanted to get up and sneak away, and hide in the rivers and lakes for a while, but thinking of the consequences of being discovered by Xu Buling, he still didn't dare, so he could only lie down in confusion.
Fortunately, Xu Buling was very tired, and he didn't come over so late, so he must have fallen asleep and forgotten about the round house......
Seeing that it was getting late and late, it had already passed the third watch, Zhongli Jiujiu was a little relieved, feeling that he should have escaped tonight, and raised his hand to prepare to sleep in wide clothes, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound at the door.
Knock Knock—
There was a knock on the door......
Zhongli Jiujiu's slightly foxy cheeks stiffened suddenly, and he didn't dare to come out, closing his eyes and pretending not to hear.
Knock Knock—
The door rang again.
Zhongli Jiujiu was about to cry, where did she dare to respond, she had to give it for nothing, and she had to be broken, how painful it was......
There was poison on the door, and he would not dare to come in, so he didn't hear it......
"Jiujiu, if you are so untrustworthy, I will tear up the marriage book."
The man's bland words sounded from the door.
Tear up the marriage book?
Zhongli Jiujiu's eyelashes trembled, and he clenched his hands tightly for a long time, and finally slowly flipped up......
