Chapter 198: Messenger

At noon the next day, Ji Zheng still left his house and personally led his army to the south to suppress the barbarian rebellion.

After Ji Zheng leaves, Frost and Ina come to the market to relax. If you talk about prosperity, the bazaar on the street of Huiji naturally cannot be compared with Gusu, but at this time, the weather is sunny, and the street is also full of traffic, and the flow of people is like weaving.

Ina was depressed and paced with the baby in her arms. The baby was particularly excited, and he was full of interest in everything outside, sometimes staring at the passing horses, his eyes wide in surprise, and sometimes pointing at the jugglers, and giggling.

"Sister." Ina frowned, bent a pair of big eyes, and looked at Frost Aggrieved.

"Did you mention your business to the general?"

Ina grieved in her heart, shook her head and said, "Not only did the general not mention that matter, but he didn't even say a word to me. ”

"Then you didn't offer it either?"

"No...... I, I'm scared ......"

"Hey, silly girl. It is possible that the general has a lot of official duties and has a lot of worries on his mind, and he can't think of it. But you have to take the initiative, so the next time the general comes back, you should take the initiative. ”

"Hmmm......"

"Come, give me the baby, you can rest for a while."

"It's okay, sister, I'm not tired."

As the two were talking, a convoy approached, a dozen wagons full of goods, covered with thick curtains, and it was impossible to tell what was being transported. Originally, there was nothing eye-catching about this team, but after a quick glance, she found that the leader of the team seemed to be a little familiar.

Looking closer, Frost was sure that she had seen the little old man with a white goatee. Shuang Di recalled carefully, and finally remembered that this little old man was Han Ledger.

Many years ago, at that time, Han's account room was very close to Gong Wanran, and he would often send some gifts such as tea and wine to the courtyard where Gong Wanran and others lived. Han is very good at handling things, and every time he will bring some rouge gouache to her and Hana, so Shuangdi also has some impressions of this little old man.

Shuang Di had a bad premonition, she clearly remembered that Zhang Xun had told her that the Han account room was Bo Yao's henchman, and many of Bo Yao's unsightly things would be handed over to the Han account room to handle on his behalf.

Thinking of this, Shuang Di was shocked, now that Wu Yue is in a state of war, how can the Han account room appear in Huiji? Could it be that he is really here to do some shady deeds for Bo Ya?

Just as Frosty was suspicious, the curtain on one of the carriages was caught on the street vendor's shelf, and the horses stepped forward and tore the shelves to the ground, and the curtain on the carriage was removed, revealing a cart of fine silk and a large pig iron treasure chest.

When everyone on the street saw such a valuable cargo, they all stopped and marveled. Seeing this, Han's account room hurriedly ordered someone to cover the curtain and fled away from the crowded street.

Frost carefully deduced in her heart, and before she knew it, she frowned. Although she couldn't be sure what the truth behind it was, she always had a bad feeling that this matter would most likely be unfavorable to Zhang Xun. Anyway, her intuition told her that she had to tell Zhang Xun about it.

However, her personal freedom was severely restricted, let alone leaving the country, and she could not even send letters. Looking around her, there is not even a person who knows the roots, what should she do to convey her concerns to Zhang Xun?

"Giggles! Cluck! The baby's laughter interrupted Frost's thoughts, and Ina was playing with a thatched knick-knack.

"Do you like it?" Ina asked the child.

"Giggles! Cluck! The child smiled sweetly, and he stretched out his delicate little hand to grasp the little thing.

Ina shoved the object into the child's hand and paid the vendor a copper coin.

The child was very amused by the gadget, and Ina's previous worries also disappeared, and seeing Ina and her child having so much fun made Frost have mixed feelings. How Frosty wished that this child was Ina's, perhaps, Ina had the same imagination.

At night, after Frosty lulls the child to sleep, she quietly arrives in Ina's room. She can only trust Ina now, and she can only trust Ina's eyes that are as clear and pure as a child.

"Ina, are you asleep?"

"Sister?" Ina got up and opened the door, "It's so late, what's the matter with me?" ”

"My sister wants to ask you for something."

"What's the matter?" Ina looked at Frost Teaser curiously, innocent eyes full of innocence.

"Hmm......" Shuang Di hesitated a little, she suddenly couldn't bear to let Ina go to danger for her, now that Wu and Yue are fighting, this trip must not be easy.

"Sister, what's the matter? You say, I'll help! ”

Frost Di was in her heart, so she told Ina what she had seen during the day and her own deduction, and she hoped that Ina would go to Gusu for her to pass the word to Zhang Xun.

Ina didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly: "Sister, don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow!" ”

"Thank you...... Thank you sister! I really don't know how to thank you......"

"Sister doesn't need to thank me, my sister is so good to me, I'm still thinking about how to repay my sister!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Ina! ”

Ina was a little embarrassed and asked, "Sister, don't you have any letters?" ”

Frost bit her lip and shook her head, "I don't know what to write...... Moreover, if you carry a letter, it is even more dangerous. It's enough for you to go and spread the word, Brother Xiaoxun has seen you, and he will believe you. Also, this matter must not be known to the general. ”

"Hmmm! Don't worry, sister, I understand. ”

"Thank you, Ina, for a safe journey, sister." Frost was moved to embrace Ina in her arms.

"Sister, you have to take care too!"

Seven days later, in the morning, Gusu City. Zhang Xun was studying in the mansion when the guards came in to report that a woman had asked to see him. Zhang Xun was curious, so he asked the woman to come in.

As soon as Zhang Xun saw this woman's appearance, he was immediately stunned, and he asked happily and excitedly, "You...... Your name is ...... What's it called? I've seen you. That year's Chinese New Year's Eve, in Huiji City. ”

Ina saluted Zhang Xun and said, "General, my name is Ina and we ate dumplings together that day." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Fast! Come in and sit! ”

Zhang Xun pulled Ina into the study and instructed the servant, "Eat dumplings at noon!" ”

After a brief pleasantry, Ina talked about the purpose of the trip.

"Sister Shuang Di thinks there must be something strange here, she is very worried about you, and specially asked me to send you a letter! The general must be careful! ”

Zhang Xun waved his hand disapprovingly and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." I had long expected that Bo Yao would collude with the Vietnamese to frame me, this kind of hidden arrow is impossible to prevent, but I just want to be upright. ”

Seeing Zhang Xun's unhurried look, Ina said anxiously: "Sister is so worried about you, don't take it seriously!" ”

Zhang Xun didn't care about Bo Yao's conspiracy at all, he waved his hand with a smile, then stared at Ina and asked, "How is Frost Lately?" It's been a long time since I've heard from her, I've written hundreds of letters to her, but I've never received a reply, I don't know if she's received them. ”

"Letter? I haven't heard my sister talk about it...... Maybe she didn't receive it......"

"Hey......" Zhang Xun sighed, and then said with a smile: "It's been hard all the way, let's eat dumplings first." ”

The servant served the steaming dumplings, and Ina picked up a large plate of dumplings and feasted on them, apparently she loved them. Zhang Xun sat opposite and kept pouring a pot of wine into his mouth, and he watched Ina eat dumplings, with a relieved smile on his face.

Ina suddenly raised her head and asked Zhang Xun curiously, "Why doesn't the general eat it?" ”

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "I feel very happy when I see you eating." ”

"Why?"

"I think something comes to mind."

Ina put down her chopsticks and asked, "General, can you tell me about General Ji?" ”

"Ji ...... Hehe, it's a good ......" Zhang Xun smiled and nodded, "When the two of us met, I was thirteen years old, he was fourteen years old, we studied together in the master's school, and later went down the mountain together. We've been through a lot together, and we've fought side by side to defend the villagers against the killers. We joined forces to defeat the state of Chen, defeated the state of Lu and the state of Qi, and we ......"

"Hey......" Zhang Xun sighed, "Hehe, we used to be close." After so many years, everything has changed, but I will never forget the fourteen-year-old boy who once said with great conviction that he must calm this chaotic world. ”

"He really did it, step by step, he gave too much, lost too much, he had fewer and fewer friends around him, more and more enemies. It seems that he is getting closer and closer to that goal, but in reality, we both know in our hearts that he is getting farther and farther away from that goal, and he will never achieve it. It's just that he doesn't want to, and won't admit it......"

Zhang Xun took a large sip of wine, then lowered his head and pondered silently.

Ina was also inexplicably sad, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "What about ...... Is he a good man? ”

"Yes, it's always been ......"

After being full of wine and food, Ina was ready to set off for the return journey, and Zhang Xun led Ina to her horse and sent her to the city of Gusu.

"Sister, since you insist on hurrying, it is inconvenient for me to keep you, be careful all the way."

"Thank you, General!"

"Ina, please go back and tell Frost, I'll pay attention to what she warned. Also, tell her that I have not yet married, and I will not marry anyone else. In this life and this life, I only love her, and she will always be my Zhang Xun's wife. As long as I survive in this world, I will not give up on her, and one day, I will be with her again. ”

Ina's nose was sour, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, she was afraid of tears spilling, so she could only hold the horsewhip and salute: "I will tell you, general, farewell!" ”

Zhang Xun solemnly returned the salute: "Be careful all the way." ”
