Chapter 104: Speculation
At night, Liu Yong observed the white horse and its owner several times, the bonfire was never extinguished, and the people behind the fire were still faint. But with a curious temptation. At this time, he desperately wanted to go over and see what was going on. Look what kind of person it is. He didn't know how he could feel this way, and subconsciously, he felt that it was a familiar person.
The four of the martial artists slept, leaving only Liu Qiang to sentry. Lin Hualang's younger brothers also slept. At this time, the night was quiet and lonely, and the murmuring Simeng water was whispering.
Covered in the deep night, accompanied by the warm breeze of early spring, Liu Yong got up and left.
Liu Qiang asked him, and he said that he would meet an old friend.
"Old friends?" Liu Qiang watched Liu Yong walk towards the back of the campfire in the distance and muttered to himself.
The man behind the campfire turned his back.
Liu Yong stood for a long time before asking, "This brother is disturbed." ”
The man did not answer. He covered his head with a cloak. Obviously, he didn't want Liu Yong to see his face.
After staying for a while, Liu Yong felt bored, looked at the crackling and burning bonfire, and then looked at the handsome white horse, and returned stupidly.
"Liu Guanren, who is that?" Liu Qiang asked.
Liu Yong shook his head in dismay, and only said, "Brother Liu, you sleep, I'll keep guard." ”
"That's not going to work, it's the responsibility of the five of us to protect the goods. Liu Guanren went to rest. Liu Qiang said.
Liu Yong nodded and got into the tent, he lived with Lin Hualang, and Brother Hualang was already snoring like thunder. Don't look at him with a delicate face, but he acts like a reckless man.
……
I woke up in the morning on another sunny day, and it seemed warmer than yesterday. All the people were lifted in their spirits, thanks to the sun that rose in the east.
The curling smoke of the breakfast rose around the tent, but the white horse was cold.
When the meal was ready, Liu Yong asked a small servant to send a bowl of rice to the owner of the white horse, and dried vegetables and sauce. The man took it.
Liu Yong was amused, and said in his heart: "I don't reply to the words, but I want to eat." What a weirdo. ”
Ordered to pull out the village and set off. The convoy was like a stupid caterpillar slowly squirming towards the Black Tiger Ridge. The white horse was still following from a fixed distance.
By noon, the convoy had already circled out of Black Tiger Ridge. Entered a gentle area. The convoy picked up its pace. What Liu Yong means is that it is best to go to a town at night, and make adjustments when people are sleepy.
After dark, I finally arrived at a small town called Yishui, and I knew that it was built on the banks of the Simengshui River. It was under the jurisdiction of the garrison army. But I didn't see many soldiers in the town.
One of the largest inns was occupied by Liu Yong's motorcade. Of course, the owner of the white horse also stayed at the inn. Listening to Xiao Er, the man asked for a first-class room. Liu Yong and the others all lived in rooms with many people. Liu Yong lived in a large room with Wushi and Lin Hualang.
After settling down, Liu Yong asked the store to set up two large tables of wine and food to treat the people who traveled for two days. During the banquet, Liu Yong expressed his gratitude to everyone, and said that the future journey will be difficult, and hopes that everyone can work together to complete the feat of going to Western Xia.
While talking, Liu Yong saw the owner of the white horse drinking alone in the opposite corner. So he let the people drink, and went over with his own glass.
"Brother, if you don't dislike it, how about you come and eat with us?" Liu Yong said.
The man still didn't answer, and deliberately carried Liu Yong. I don't want him to see his face.
Liu Yong thought to himself, "If you don't let me see your face, then I want to take a look at the dignity of the driver tonight." Thinking so, he sat down opposite the man, who quickly lowered his head.
"Who are you?" The strange behavior of that person made Liu Yong feel that this person must be someone he knew.
"I'm tired, I want to rest, I'm out of company." The man whispered, got up, and left.
"Horse girl." Liu Yong shouted.
The man immediately stopped.
Liu Yong walked over, stood behind him and said, "Miss Ma, is it you?" ”
The man stood still, seemingly hesitant. This made Liu Yong confirm his guess.
"Miss Ma, where are you going? It's dangerous for a girl to go out. Liu Yong said with the tone of some elders.
The man suddenly turned around, and sure enough, it was Ma Miaozhen, but she changed into a man's outfit. She looked at Liu Yong and smiled shyly.
Although Liu Yong guessed that it was her, she was still slightly taken aback when she turned around. I choked on what I wanted to say for a while.
Seeing Liu Yong's slightly surprised stupid expression, Ma Miaozhen covered her mouth with her hands and sneered.
"Really, it's really you, Miss Ma?"
"You guessed it was me, and you still asked?"
"I ...... I'm still a little surprised, where are you going? Why are you alone? Liu Yong asked.
"I ......" Ma Miaozhen lowered her head shyly and did not answer, this is not like her previous style.
Liu Yong seemed to understand a little, but he still asked again.
"I want to go to Western Xia with you." Ma Miaozhen said her intentions.
"What?" Liu Yong screamed in surprise and attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Yong hurriedly looked around, and whispered: "Miss Ma, this is not a joke, the road is very dangerous, if there is a mistake, it will be too late to regret it." Besides, did your father and family ever know? ”
Seeing Liu Yong's nervous appearance, Ma Miaozhen actually laughed and said, "If my family knows, can I still come out with you?" ”
"No, I'll have someone send you back tomorrow." Liu Yong said sharply.
"No, I'm just going to follow you." Ma Miaozhen is very resolute.
Liu Yong said more than a dozen in one breath, but Ma Miaozhen just refused to agree to him. He was helpless, and finally could only say: "Miss Ma, you and I are just general friends, I won't stop you from going anywhere, but please don't follow me." With that, he turned around and returned to the banquet.
Lin Hualang immediately asked who the man was.
"It's Ma Shifan's daughter." Liu Yong looked at the stunned Ma Miaozhen and said.
"Wow, isn't that the daughter of the richest man in Meizhou? How do you know her? Lin Hualang asked.
"Hey!" Liu Yong sighed, "It's a long story. The woman on the Black Tiger Village that day was her. Okay, leave her alone, let's have a drink. ”
"Brother, I'm afraid this woman has a crush on you, right?" Lin Hualang asked.
Liu Yong took a sip of wine and said, "So what? It's a difficult journey, how can I take her with me? As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Miaozhen, who was standing still. Ma Miaozhen turned around and ran upstairs, leaving a few cries in the lobby.
"Liu Guanren, the beautiful lady of the family was made to cry by you." Liu Qiang said with a smile.
"Come on, let's drink." Now Liu Yong has no choice but to do this, otherwise how could Ma Miaozhen go back. If there is really a three-long and two-short one on the road, then the Ma family will not have to fight with me. He thought to himself that he couldn't let Ma Miaozhen follow.
"Official, go and coax that beautiful lady to go, this little lady looks good." A guy quipped.
Lin Hualang was reluctant and scolded: "You pickled and sloppy, shut up Lao Tzu." Do you know that the official is me Lin Hualang, who is it? ”
"Who?" The other guy asked.
"My future brother-in-law of Brother Hualang." Lin Hualang said loudly, like announcing the appointment of an official, for fear that others would not hear it.
