Chapter 199: The Old Master of the White Dragon
Lai Xing'er came to the courtyard of "Shuangqing Xiaozhu", and sure enough, he saw a small group of more than 20 sergeants with swords running from the direction of the mountain pass. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because there have been no officials and soldiers here for many years, the mountain people gathered outside the courtyard are all panicked, and they are talking about something in a low voice.
Lai Xing'er walked to the forefront of the mountain people, protected the mountain people with his body, and saluted the captain who led the team to the front, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't you ask, the general led the troops into the mountain early in the morning, what happened?" ”
The lieutenant obviously came all the way, and he was sweating profusely in the winter of October, and when he heard Lai Xing'er's question, he looked him up and down a few times, and asked instead of answering: "Have you ever seen two young men from Chang'an, oh, they also carry the corpse of a woman with them?" ”
Lai Xing'er heard what he said, obviously he came to find himself and Jiang Zhongshi, thinking that what he expected was not bad, so he put his mind at ease and replied very politely: "General, what you are looking for is the inferior two, I don't know if you came to Zhongnan Mountain on the order of Marshal Jing?" ”
The lieutenant stared at Lai Xing'er with a pair of goldfish eyes, and asked in an official tone: "You said that we came to find you, let me ask you, what is your name?" Who is with you? ”
"In Xing'er, I came with Jiangzhongshi." Lai Xing'er replied steadily.
"Come on, take it for me." The captain shouted sharply, and several sergeants rushed up behind him, threatening to arrest Lai Xing'er.
The little white dragon tied under a big tree outside the courtyard gate saw that someone was going to be unfavorable to the little master, and raised his neck and let out a long hiss like a dragon's groan, intending to prevent the sergeants from attacking Lai Xing'er.
"Wait." Cai Xunzhen walked out of the courtyard with a majestic expression and stopped talking. What made everyone present feel strange was that when Cai Xunzhen heard the long hiss of the little white dragon, he couldn't care about the team of sergeants in front of him, and couldn't help but turn his head and keep his eyes on the little white dragon.
"Xing'er, did you ride this white horse?" Cai Xunzhen couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and actually ignored the sergeants who rushed forward to tie up Lai Xing'er, but asked him such a sentence without beginning or end.
Lai Xing'er allowed the sergeants to tie himself up in an instant, not only did he not show a trace of panic, but he also ignored the sergeant who twisted him, and only replied to Cai Xunzhen: "Madam, yes, when I returned to Chang'an from Luo and passed through Jingzhou a month ago, this white horse was given by Lord Yu Chengen, named Little White Dragon, can Mrs. recognize this horse?" ”
"Yu Chengen, Yu Chengen...... It really was him. Cai Xunzhen uncharacteristically kept chanting Yu Chengen's name, walked quickly to the little white dragon, looked at it carefully for a long time, and sighed even a little widely, "That's right, it is the descendant of my family's white dragon horse, I don't expect to be able to meet it here again today." It's a pity that I recognized you, and you have to go back to Chang'an with Xing'er. ”
She muttered to herself, stretched out her hand and caressed the long and soft mane on the back of the little white dragon's neck like a snow line, revealing a reluctant look. Especially to Lai Xing'er's surprise, the little white dragon, who has always not allowed strangers to get close to casually, seemed to know Cai Xunzhen, and gradually became quiet under her gentle touch.
Seeing that Lai Xing'er and Cai Xunzhen blatantly did not take their team of sergeants seriously, Wuzi kept talking to a horse, and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted at his sergeant: "Bring that horse over, it just so happens that the master's mount is running all the way, and it is also tired, so just ride it back to Chang'an...... Ouch ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly found that his two feet had left the ground, and he was immediately thrown out by a strong force, flying straight into the air seven or eight feet away, and slamming into the ground like a dead pig.
Jiang Zhongshi followed behind Cai Xunzhen, and as soon as he came out of the courtyard, he shot one after another, put down a few sergeants who twisted Lai Xing'er, and loosened the rope for him......
Seeing this, Lai Xing'er hurriedly ran forward to help him up with his own hands, and apologized repeatedly: "General, my brother is used to fighting tigers, leopards and wolves in the past, and his subordinates are not serious, and there is something to offend, please don't go to your heart." If the general was ordered by Marshal Jing to return to Chang'an, but to say, how could it be reasonable to come to Xing'er and not obey? It doesn't have to be that hard. ”
The lieutenant got up from the ground with a grin, and looked at the few subordinates who were knocked to the ground by Jiangzhongshi, and his anger disappeared a lot, and he no longer held the official stand, and said stupidly: "You said it earlier, and you won't make a fuss and want to make a move, and hurt each other's harmony......
Lai Xing'er saw that he was obviously convinced in his heart, but his mouth refused to let go of the wind, he smiled secretly in his belly, and still had an apologetic look on his face, and discussed with the captain: "General, do you think this is good?" You must be tired from all the way around. I'm waiting, I just have to give a good friend a funeral today. How about you give me a little time or two to bury that friend, and then go back to Chang'an with you? ”
When the lieutenant heard that he just wanted to spare some time for himself, his heart relaxed, and while rubbing the sore spots on his body, he replied angrily: "Look at the face of the dead, so be it." Let's rest outside this courtyard for a while, you hurry up and bury people, let's leave immediately, the handsome man is waiting to see you. ”
Lai Xing'er heard that the lieutenant finally confessed that he had come to call him back to Chang'an on the order of Jing Yuncong, so he nodded to Cai Xunzhen, and asked a few mountain people to come to the courtyard to bring some water to the sergeants to quench their thirst, and temporarily stabilize them, and then walked to the side of the little white dragon and asked Cai Xunzhen: "Madame originally recognized the little white dragon?" ”
Cai Xunzhen saw that all the mountain people were waiting in front of the door of the "Shuangqing Xiaozhu" to prepare for the funeral, and only replied in a low voice: "I buried the little sister first, and I will talk to you again." ”
For a while, Cai Xunzhen's mother and son, Lai Xing'er, Jiang Zhongshi and all the mountain people lifted the coffin and walked to the small hill behind the courtyard under the watchful eyes of the sergeants who had just arrived from Chang'an.
On the small hillside, there were already enthusiastic mountain people who helped dig a grave pit seven or eight feet deep, and after the coffin containing Xin Twelve Niang's body was put into the grave, Cai Xunzhen bowed to the mountain people who came to help with the funeral, and thanked him politely: "The little sister has knowledge under the spring, and she will also remember everyone's thoughts. Everyone also saw that there were officials and soldiers waiting outside our courtyard, so I didn't keep any more of them, and I asked Ming'er to send some poor refining pills from door to door to express my gratitude.
