Chapter Sixty-Nine: Born Like Duckweed
As night fell, the six people on the official road were in a hurry, and their mounts were galloping like lightning.
Niu San's mouth couldn't stay idle again, "In these years, someone has openly squeezed his eyebrows at a woman, what kind of physique!" The ······ Well, whatever, someone should discipline him, Jiang Yi, don't you say? ”
Jiang Yi only turned his head and laughed a few times, except for a few cruel words with Niu San, he only had a few throats left when fighting with the thief, and the rest of the time, he was very quiet, he was simply as quiet as a virgin, such a character was extremely incommensurate with his appearance.
Zhu Qiming collected the distracting thoughts in his heart, and felt that if Niu San continued to say this, his master would become a disciple, which would not work. However, the master didn't know how to do it, what did he do to provoke this Yun Niang, who is used to sending men into the underworld? I have to hurry up and remind the master a few words!
Thinking so in his heart, he said: "Niu Baihu, Master Liang's limelight has overshadowed you today, it's okay, next time you meet a thief, you will do it before him, and it is really hard to say whose limelight is at that time." ”
The first sentence hit Niu San's sore spot, and the latter sentence was quite useful, so Niu San was immersed in Zhu Qiming's semantics for a long time, painful and happy, and no longer squeaked.
Yun Niang took the opportunity to make a difficulty, "Niu Baihu, there is a roar of the lion in Hedong, you can only be reckless outside, and when you return home, hum, it's not like you're talking about the flesh and nam around your mother-in-law." ”
Xu Gong and Jiang Yi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Ni Niang echoed: "Niu Baihu's wife is the only descendant of the Ding family's boxing, and she is taller than Niu Baihu, and Niu Baihu has suffered a lot. Once Niu Baihu and the maid joked too much, and was beaten by the lady afterwards, it is said that Niu Baihu has been missing a front tooth since then, and he did not dare to speak for half a month. ”
Xu Gong and Jiang Yi were already leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.
Zhu Qiming was stunned. In these years, there are men who are afraid of guilt? Is this man or this extremely fierce cow in front of him? , hehe, the world is really full of wonders!
Niu San held back for a long time, and finally said a word: "A man's fist is not used to teach his wife and children a lesson!" ”
It's a very gentleman's words, but isn't this a recognition of the ugliness of the family?
Laughing, six horsemen came to the fork in the road, left the official road, turned west, about more than ten miles after riding, I saw a little fire in front of me, and after a while, the firelight reflected more than 20 slightly excited faces, Liang Gang and others greeted each other.
"Ouch!"
Zhu Qiming and the others reined in their horses and saluted the people who were waiting.
"Your Highness" Liang Gang came over to take the reins, helped Zhu Qiming dismount, and after a while, his eyes secretly glanced at Yun Niang.
"Master." Zhu Qiming got off the horse, saw Liang Gang's appearance, and shook his head gently.
"Where do you look?" Niu San's stout body was across Liang Gang's body, "Haven't you seen enough during the day?" If you accidentally see something in your eyes, you have to look at it! ”
Only then did he realize that Niu San was approaching him, and Liang Gang wanted to say hello to him, but seeing that he was not good-looking, he obviously wanted to find fault. Liang Gang sank his face, he was about to have a seizure, glanced at Zhu Qiming, and held back again.
Zhu Qiming looked at it in his eyes and doubted in his heart. Ni Niang is as beautiful as a flower, and she is not masked, Liang Gang has no feeling for her, and what Yun Niang looks like, I am afraid that only Zhu Qiming and Ni Niang know on the scene, but Liang Gang is obsessed with her, which is really inexplicable!
Zhu Qiming didn't quite understand the minds of adult men and women, and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, seeing that the two were about to argue, he hurriedly said: "Master, is the meal ready?" Then he looked at a vague outline of what appeared to be a house not far away.
Yun Niang over there was a little embarrassed, feeling that Niu San and Liang Gang were holding back, but she talked about her inadvertent gaffe at noon, and it was not easy for her to speak in front of her subordinates, so she was worried that the more she depicted it, the darker it would be, so she avoided it and said to her subordinates: "Go and tie the horse quickly." ”
Liang Gang turned his head playfully and looked at Zhu Qiming, "It's ready, minced pepper mutton, and a few side dishes." "Give Zhu Qiming's mount to Yun Niang's men, "Shilipo has a long history of fame, but the neighborhood is sparsely populated, and Zhang Luo has spent a lot of effort on this dinner. ”
"It's a long-abandoned barracks." Liang Gang pointed behind him, and then beckoned everyone into the barracks, while Yun Niang's men put out their torches and stayed outside the camp to guard, it was obvious that they had already eaten dinner.
The walls inside are dilapidated, but there is a small case on the high platform, and a large case at the bottom, which is in line with the etiquette, and the light of several red candles still creates a little warm atmosphere.
Could it be that Xu Gong and Liang Gang have stayed here?
His mind suddenly went back to two years ago. Although he suffered at the hands of the Warat people at the beginning, after all, he had no worries about sleeping and eating, and Xu Gong and Liang Gang had to keep an eye on the Warat people, and they had to eat and sleep by themselves and many other trivial matters, so the hardships were naturally far above themselves.
When he looked at Xu Gong and Liang Gang again, his gaze suddenly softened a little.
Jiang Yi didn't have this feeling, and when he saw a jar of wine on the long case, he immediately laughed and ran to the side of the case first, and glanced back at Zhu Qiming, but he didn't dare to take a seat rashly.
Zhu Qiming endured the pain at the wound, walked up to the high platform, slowly sat down, and beckoned: "You don't have to be formal, take a seat quickly." ”
Yun Niang on the side called out: "My sisters don't sit at the same table with men!" ”
"I knew it wasn't a proper place for men and women to sit together." Liang Gang waved his hand to invite Yun Niang, "The two of you, please go inside for dinner." Then he led Yun Niang and the others to another room.
"He who is born with oily hair and flour only cares about being courteous to women and protecting ······ What a virtue! Niu San muttered in a low voice.
Liang Gang endured it several times, but this time he couldn't bear it anymore, his face sank, and he sneered: "The legs and feet are surprisingly slow, and the verbal kung fu is neat!" ”
"You ······"
"Cattle hundreds." Seeing Niu San, he wanted to get up angrily, Zhu Qiming smiled and said: "You have slow hands and slow mouths, look, Jiang Yi is much sharper than you." ”
They are all people who have shared the hardships of life and death, and there can be no distinction between relatives and aliens, and the gods can't break their mouths in lawsuits, so the dispute between Niu San and Liang Gang must be resolved very skillfully, and they can neither make a big fuss and reprimand, nor can they be divided between the old and the new to one side. Fortunately, Zhu Qiming has great leadership potential and knows how to take into account the feelings of everyone in the team, so he diverted Niu San's attention and allowed Liang Gang to regain his composure.
Niu San hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Yi, and saw that he was drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat in large pieces, and he was very busy, and the plate of minced pepper mutton on the case had already disappeared!
In the Ming Dynasty, mutton was still the mainstream, and pork began to counterattack, but in the north, the most common meat was mutton. In a bitter cold place, on the way around, it is quite a luxury to be able to eat a mutton feast, but unfortunately, Niu San looked at the face, forgot the inside, and saw that the plate of mutton was about to bottom, so he angrily stretched out his hand and dragged the plate in front of him.
Hurriedly stuffed a large mouthful of mutton into his mouth, chewing indiscriminately, Niu San thought about the face again, turned his head to look inside, but did not see Liang Gang's figure, stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he found that the plate had reached Jiang Yi's side again, and there were only a few green onions scattered on it.
Eat, eat, eat, I can't kill you! Niu San's flesh trembled for a while, and then he realized that the inside was really more important than face, and the regret in his heart was more uncomfortable than cutting his own flesh.
Fortunately, Xu Gong still had a plate of mutton on his side, Xu Gong pushed the plate to Niu San's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is here, don't be rude!" ”
Niu San learned enough lessons, no longer distracted, just buried his head in eating, guarding the plate like a hungry wolf protecting food, and Jiang Yi swallowed his saliva directly.
Zhu Qiming had already been on the case, and because there was no one to serve, he personally came to the big case with the plate of mutton that was basically unchanged, and put it on the case, and the place where the dish was dropped was just the same distance as Niu San and Jiang Yi.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Niu San and Jiang Yi hurriedly got up and saluted.
Xu Gong gave up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to Zhu Qiming's side, hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is inconvenient to have people from Jinyun Pavilion follow. ”
"Jinyun Pavilion?" After a bloody battle in the morning, Zhu Qiming temporarily lost interest in the secrets of Jinyun Pavilion, so he just muttered to himself lightly after hearing this.
Niu San and Jiang Yi have re-seated. The jar of wine on the table was half drunk by Jiang Yi, Niu San suddenly became interested, drank with Jiang Yi, and drank the rest of the wine in the jar after three bowls.
"There are still more than 900 brocade guards in the border city of the town, and someone must go to lead the army." Zhu Qiming diverted the topic at the right time.
"To the edge of the town to lead the army? The most suitable person must be below, but I can't take care of these things. Your Highness, this place should not be left for long, and you should move to another place as soon as possible. Xu Gong finished speaking, and glanced at Niu San and Jiang Yi.
Niu San and Jiang Yi hurriedly got up, and Niu San said: "The two of them must follow His Highness." ”
Niu and Jiang openly stated that they planned to leave the team, could they really follow the secret order of King Wei? Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, and then his heart was clear.
At this time, Yun Niang and Ni Niang had already finished their meals and came to resign. "Your Highness, Yun Niang plans to lead the crowd to the border city of the town overnight, so don't say goodbye."
Liang Gang stood beside Yun Niang, and suddenly realized that he was standing in the wrong position, and he should have been protecting Zhu Qiming at this moment, so he moved quickly behind Zhu Qiming with a little embarrassment.
Niu San snorted.
"It's fine." Xu Gong said quietly: "It's just that His Highness's whereabouts are very important, and you can't leak the slightest rumor!" ”
"Lord Xu is willing to be tolerant, which shows that Lord Xu is different from ordinary people. The fly in the ointment is that Lord Xu is suspicious, which is somewhat disappointing. Yun Niang gave up Xu Gong, turned to Zhu Qiming and said: "Last night in Baozhou City, His Royal Highness believed in Ni Niang, after a bloody storm, His Royal Highness should believe Yun Niang even more at this moment." ”
Two eyes brighter than a candle stayed on Zhu Qiming's face for a long time, and the expectation was deep and far-reaching, as if carrying the cold and summer of the next few decades.
