Chapter 139: The Eve of Departure
It was night, and the General's Mansion was shrouded in a thick dark night, except for a few dog barks from the courtyard occasionally, most of the time it was quiet, which really gave people the feeling of 'small cold dew heavy'.
After a while, two cyan sedan chairs suddenly turned back and forth from the corner of the street, and there were two people on the left and right sides of each sedan chair, slowly moving towards this direction.
After the sedan chair landed, the housekeeper hurriedly came to the sedan chair, bowed down and said:
"The minions have seen Master Shan and the Major General."
At this moment, but seeing that the sedan curtain in front of the sedan chair behind him was reached out and raised, under his gaze, Shan Zhuokun, who was wearing an official uniform, stepped out of the sedan chair.
"Master Shan, my young general, this is ......" The housekeeper looked at Shan Zhuokun and asked.
Shan Zhuokun put his right index finger in front of his mouth and gently shushed. Then, he walked lightly to the sedan chair in front of him and stretched out his hand to pick up the sedan curtain.
Everyone looked at the past curiously, and saw that at this time, Yu Chi Baolin's body was leaning against the sedan wall, his face was crimson, his eyes were closed, and he was smirking in his dreams from time to time, muttering the word 'good wine' in his mouth.
"Master Shan, Major General He ....."
Seeing this, Shan Zhuokun first took out a red pill from his sleeve and put it into Yu Chi Baolin's mouth. Then, a shallow smile appeared on his lips, and he teased:
"Your young general is meeting Du Kang in a dream, don't worry, I have just given him an antidote, and he will wake up soon."
The housekeeper listened to Shan Zhuokun's words, and then settled down. He let out a long sigh of relief, instructed the palanquin man to send Yu Chi Baolin back to the room, and then said to Shan Zhuokun,
"Thank you for your help. By the way, the county lord of Zhifeng is here. Although the little one told her, tonight the emperor set up a banquet for the Western Turkic general Xue Yantuo in the drunken sky. The heavenly general and the merchant group picked up the wind and washed the dust, and asked her to go back to the palace to rest for the time being, and come back tomorrow. But the lord of the county still didn't listen, saying that he had something very important to say to you, and he was still waiting in your courtyard at the moment. ”
"Oh?"
Shan Zhuokun was slightly stunned, and a trace of astonishment quickly flashed in his eyes.
According to the situation at tonight's banquet, the general should have recommended himself to the emperor, so he was treated so favorably.
As the saying goes, news doesn't run fast without legs. Could it be that the girl already knows whether it is or not, if this is the case, then you should be careful when you speak for a while, and don't fall into the way.
"Okay, I got it. You've been waiting for most of the night, you should be tired, so go back to your room early to rest. ”
After walking into the courtyard side by side, Shan Zhuokun said to the housekeeper carefully. Then, under the gaze of the other party, he turned around and walked straight to his yard.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Li Zhifeng sitting on the steps in front of the house, holding his chin with his right hand, looking up at the bright moon in the sky alone in a daze, with endless sentimentality hidden in his eyes.
The breeze blew her hair from time to time, and the hazy moonlight cast the black figure on the ground, making everything in front of her seem like a dream.
Seeing this scene, Shan Zhuokun couldn't help but be a little stupid. Is the woman in front of her really the sassy girl she knows who is very bold on weekdays? Why does it look so weak, as if it is a brightly colored flower, which makes him want to hold it in his hand and treasure it.
A cool breeze blew suddenly, and Li Zhi couldn't help but shiver. She curled up in a ball and clenched her arms, but her eyes became more helpless.
Although I also know that it is impossible for a man with official business to be so leisurely, he will definitely meet when he meets. But nothing like tonight had ever happened in her memory.
It's because the disciple drank too much and couldn't do it, if this is really the case, then she has to stay. At the very least, when Chunxue and Xia Lian are resting, there can still be someone who pours tea and water.
Thinking of this, Li Zhifeng stood up and wanted to go to the door to see the movement. Who knows, as soon as he looked up, he saw Shan Zhuokun staring at him with burning eyes, his eyes full of fire.
"Dengzi..... You..... When did you get back? ”
Li Zhifeng's face suddenly turned crimson, he couldn't imagine that he hid it so well, but he was still broken by the other party, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
"I should have asked you that." Shan Zhuokun slowly walked in front of Li Zhifeng, looked at it quietly for a moment, and said with a smile, "As the county lord, don't you know that there is a difference between men and women?" If you don't go back to the palace to sleep so late, what is it to lie in the man's yard? ”
Li Zhifeng couldn't help but become even more ashamed when she heard him make fun of herself. She stomped her foot violently, blushing and arguing with a thick neck:
"Who said I wouldn't go back to the palace? The lord of this county is only worried about you, so he stayed. It's good that you don't know so much. ”
Shan Zhuokun deliberately opened his mouth wide, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Zhifeng and said:
"Oh, I see, I really missed you. Otherwise, it's getting late today, and I really don't feel at ease if you go back alone. It's better to do this, there is an empty room next door to me, if you don't dislike it, you can rest here for the night tonight, and then go back to the palace tomorrow morning. ”
Li Zhifeng's heart was warm, it turned out that the disciple was just speaking ill of himself on the surface, but in fact, he was very good to himself.
"What? You don't want to? ”
Shan Zhuokun saw that Li Zhifeng just looked at him fixedly, but did not speak, so he asked in surprise.
Willing..... How could I not want to? Li Zhifeng said silently in her heart.
However, due to the unique reserve of her daughter's family, she still deliberately pretended to be extremely calm on the surface, and did not show her true thoughts in her heart at all.
"What Lord Shan said does have some truth, since this is the case, then the county lord will deign tonight."
There was a slight sense of condescending superiority in Li Zhifeng's tone.
The smile in Shan Zhuokun's eyes was even stronger, this sassy girl really has to be cheap and good. Okay, my brother is in a good mood today, no matter what you say, I'll just take care of it.
Li Zhifeng blinked his eyes and asked unexpectedly: "By the way, I heard that you are going to Putuo to run errands recently, why don't you let the county lord accompany you?" ”
Shan Zhuokun secretly laughed in his heart, sure enough, this girl is still a simple rabbit, and there is no way to hide this curious tail.
He put his right hand on Li Zhifeng's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Sa girl, you're right, I do have something to do to go to Putuo. However, I'm going to run errands this time, not to play, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to bring you. You, just wait for news in the palace obediently, and come back as soon as my brother finishes his work. ”
Li Zhifeng saw that Shan Zhuokun was looking at people through the door, and he didn't feel a little angry in his heart. However, in order to achieve her goal, she had to reluctantly suppress her anger and continue to discuss with kind words:
"Dengzi, we have been born and died together so many times before, which time did I hold you back. I know you're on a secret mission this time, so you can't be too quiet. However, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and you still need help. ”
Shan Zhuokun blinked, secretly thinking in his heart. I didn't expect that Li Zhifeng, who was like a little pepper, could still say so much, and for a while, he didn't know how to refute it.
However, although there is an obvious tendency in this statement, the truth is also true. Although I have traveled to Putuo before, it was a thousand years later. Who can tell what it was like a thousand years ago? Since Sa Nu wants to go with her, it's better to do personal favors along the way.
"Okay, I can promise you." Shan Zhuokun pondered for a moment and readily agreed, "But there is one thing, after all, I haven't been there before, and I really don't know anything about the situation over there." When you get there, you must follow me, and you must not act rashly, remember? ”
Li Zhifeng saw that Shan Zhuokun promised to go with him, and he was excited. A happy smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he naturally accepted all the requests made by the other party and agreed to them all.
Subsequently, Shan Zhuokun arranged for her to rest in the next room to her, just to recuperate her spirits, and set off for Putuo, the country of Buddhism, during the day the next day.
