Chapter 155: A Mysterious Disappearance
There are more than 20 Dongsi in the various courtyards of Guozijian, and cleaning them every morning and evening is also a time-consuming and laborious task. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, when Lai Xing'er returned to the dormitory every night, Jinping had already prepared a steaming meal, waiting for him, and after more than ten days, Lai Xing'er didn't even feel how wronged he was to do this work that was regarded as the most lowly job. Moreover, he is not only accompanied by a good wife, but also has a good brother who can share the ups and downs and hardships with him, and helps him do more than half of the work every day. Therefore, just over half a month has passed, Lai Xing'er feels more comfortable and comfortable than the days when she was on an errand in Yanying Palace, and her face has returned to her former ruddy complexion, and the whole person has regained her vitality that is different from before.
What made Lai Xing'er even more pleased was that as soon as the old man of the Guozi Priest Wine heard that Lai Xing'er was the son of a scholar from the previous dynasty who came to Shenxing, he made an exception to allow Lai Xing'er to listen to classes and learn Confucianism with the students of the Guozi Prison in his spare time every day. This also made Lai Xing'er more respectful and curious about his father, who was beheaded under a single willow tree as a rebellious criminal.
In the evening of this day, Lai Xing'er cleaned more than a dozen Dongsi early as usual, washed his body with a bucket of well water, hummed a little song in his mouth, and walked to the adjacent courtyard, wanting to pull Jiang Zhongshi back to the dormitory room for dinner. Who knows, he walked around the east division in the courtyard inside and out, but he didn't find the shadow of Jiang Zhongshi.
"This kid who eats like a cow must be rushing to call it a day and go back to eat." Lai Xing'er saw that the Dongsi was clean inside and outside, and he couldn't help but think so.
However, when he walked through the courtyard and returned to his simple and warm little dormitory, he only saw Jinping coming forward with a smiling face, and he never saw the shadow of Jiang Zhongshi in the room.
"Hey, that's weird. Where did this little rock go today? Lai Xing'er asked while helping Jinping Zhang Luo to eat.
"That's right." After being reminded by Lai Xing'er, Jinping also seemed to remember something, and echoed and said, "Normally, at this time, he is only afraid that two large bowls of brown rice have already entered his stomach." When I got up early this morning, I specially told him that in the evening, my mother sent me to send half a roast leg of mutton, and asked him to finish work early and rush back for dinner. Why is it that there is still no shadow of him in such a scene? ”
"No, I'll have to find him." Lai Xing'er picked up a piece of Hu Biscuit, sandwiched a large piece of fragrant roast lamb leg in it, and was about to go out of the house to find Jiang Zhongshi.
"I remembered. In the past two days, there is news in the palace that Jingzhou Assassin Shi seems to have surrendered to Tubo, and led the Tubo people all the way to Chang'an, yesterday has approached Fenning, which is only 200 miles away from Chang'an, and my master is preparing to lead 3,000 forbidden troops out of the city to meet the enemy. Didn't you promise Xiao Shi a few days ago that you would take him to see my master? Could it be that he heard the news, slipped out of the Guozijian himself, and ran to see my master? Jinping reminded Laixing'er.
The Tibetans approached Chang'an, and the emperor was planning to abandon the city and run eastward. This news came to Xing'er and learned from the heart-to-ear discussions among the students in the Guozi Prison, but Jing Yuncong was about to go into battle, and the news of leading the army to the battle was the first time he heard it, and he couldn't help but be a little tempted for a while: If he could join Marshal Jing's command and fight against the invasion of Tibet with this current military god, what an honor it would be to be a happy event in life!
Hearing the emperor's inexplicable dictation in the cell of Dali Temple, Lai Xing'er has always had a heart that even Jinping has never told her: in the future, he will use his practical actions to make meritorious achievements, wash away all kinds of shame caused by his father's rebellion, repay the unknown favors imposed on him by the imperial court, and enable him to stand in front of people in front of others.
Although Jinping's reminder was very reasonable, Jiang Zhongshi might really have heard the news that Jing Yuncong was about to leave Beijing for an expedition, and quietly ran behind his back to ask to see him, but Lai Xing'er went out of the room and chose to go to the stable not far away to find it.
After receiving special care from Jing Xuan, the little white dragon was allowed to stay by Lai Xing'er's side. Under Jinping's careful care, the little white dragon's injuries have healed. Jiang Zhongshi was bored in the Guozi Prison and accompanied Lai Xing'er to clean the East Division for more than ten days, very bored, and once pestered Lai Xing'er to ride a little white dragon to walk outside the workshop all day long, but was sternly rejected by Lai Xing'er. He unusually didn't come to dinner on time today, will he go to the stable and get close to the little white dragon secretly?
It is also strange to say, because Jiang Zhongshi is born in Orion, and on weekdays he specializes in fighting against all kinds of fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, with a strong tiger and wolf breath on his body, as soon as the ordinary war horse approaches him, he can't help but tremble, and he is so frightened that he almost stands unsteadily, only the little white dragon can let Jiang Zhongshi get close and touch, and behave calmly and behave as usual. Thinking of this beloved horse carrying himself back and forth, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness: before being escorted back to Chang'an from Puzhou for trial, Yu Chengen had intended to detain the little white dragon with him, but the little white dragon seemed to know that Lai Xing'er was in danger, and when Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi were about to be escorted out of Puzhou City, they broke free from the reins with their hooves and howled, and rushed all the way to Chang'an, and had to follow Lai Xing'er back to Chang'an. After knowing this, Li Qi, the king of Mu, was secretly surprised in his heart, and even made an exception to order Enzhun to come to Xing'er and take the little white dragon with him, but Yu Chengen hindered King Mu from opening his mouth, so he did not forcibly detain the little white dragon.
Compared with his previous two mounts: "Snow Green" and "Chasing the Wind", the little white dragon is obviously more human and spiritual. may be accustomed to seeing ordinary war horses like tigers, Jiang Zhongshi has a very strong interest in this extraordinary little white dragon, but because of the escort back to Chang'an from Puzhou, he and Lai Xing'er have been imprisoned in the prison car, and when they arrived in Chang'an, they were immediately locked in the cell of Dali Temple, and they never had time to get close to the little white dragon. Therefore, after following Lai Xing'er to be punished by the Guozijian to clean up the East Division, once Jiang Zhongshi was free, he would run to the stable to make out with the little white dragon, seeing that he was very close to the little white dragon, Lai Xing'er was even ready to give the little white dragon to him as soon as Jiang Zhongshi opened his mouth to himself.
In the stable, the little white dragon, who had just eaten the forage sent by Jinping and was drinking quietly in the stable, saw Lai Xing'er, and did not snort happily to greet the little master as usual, but raised his head in the direction where Lai Xing'er came, and made several neighs one after another. Seeing this, Lai Xing'er suddenly became vigilant in his heart, stepped forward, gently stroked the brocade-like mane on the back of the little white dragon's neck, and asked it affectionately, "What do you want to tell me?" Didn't that little rock bother you today? ”
The little white dragon is very human, as if he understood Lai Xing'er's words, first shook his head at Lai Xing'er, and then snorted towards the door, making a long and short whisper, as if he wanted to tell Lai Xing'er something.
The little white dragon's unusual behavior made Lai Xing'er even more suspicious, and he continued to ask with speculation, "What happened outside?" Or do you hear something and want me to go out and see? ”
This time, the little white dragon actually nodded, but then let out the same long and short two low sounds, as if to remind Lai Xing'er of something.
"You mean, before I came, you heard the neighing of horses passing by outside?" Lai Xing'er's heart flashed, at this time it was close to curfew, and the little white dragon actually heard the neighing of horses outside, obviously something was wrong. Thinking of this possibility, Lai Xing'er turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the little white dragon behind him let out another extraordinarily loud hiss.
It's telling me that there's a horse out there that's frightened! Lai Xing'er waved his hand to the little white dragon, he fully understood what he wanted to convey to himself, and walked out of the stable in three steps and two steps, and ran straight out of the door. (To be continued.) )
