Zuo Yin stayed in the post house all afternoon. Along the way, he communicated with Lin Lao the most, and the soldiers of the guard battalion also met each other to say hello, if it was said to make friends, Zuo Yin didn't have that mind, he wanted to go with the flow, it was best to be a friend, even if he couldn't, everyone met and greeted, it was okay, there was no need to rush to make friends with each other.

Through the sunlight of the window, Zuo Yin flipped up the "Zhuangzi" he had just bought, and there seemed to be someone's breath in the corner of the book. However, Zuo Yin, who was still a little distracted, quickly became addicted when he was flipping through the book.

This book is not so much a classic book, but a fable, the whole book directly to "getaway", with the wind rising 90,000 miles of magnificence, so that Zuo Yin marveled at the magnificent imagination of Zhuangzi, the 500-year-old Nanming for the spring, 8,000 years old for the spring, reflecting the transience of the world, but it seems to want to express the end of manpower, and the infinity of nature.

How sad in comparison!

Zuo Yin has a different mood in his heart, no matter how short the world is, but it is also his own life, walking once, hearty, and smooth mood is the most important, Peng Zu is 800 years old, what do you have to do with me, why envy the life of others?

Seeing the sentence "no one has self, no god and man have no merit, and a saint has no name", Zuo Yin thought about it, it seems that the previous descriptions are all for the purpose of expounding "getaway", but for a young man like him who is in his prime, he can't help but not agree very much.

The sound of the door sounded, Zuo Yin looked up, but Lin Lao had already returned, still carrying a small package in his hand, Zuo Yin asked with a smile: "Lin Lao, why didn't you accompany Wu Gong this time?" ”

Zuo Yin always thought that Lin Lao was the person responsible for Wu Gong's food safety, but this time he was a little curious when he saw that he was not accompanied.

Lin Lao sat next to Zuo Yin, picked up the teapot and poured a few sips, took a long breath, looked very comfortable, he waved his hand and said: "Gong Wu is going to visit a friend today, Gongsun Tao is accompanied, that friend, Gong Wu trusts him very much, so it's okay if I don't accompany him." ”

Immediately, Lin Lao had a strange smile on his face, and lifted the small package in his hand to the same height as his head, and asked, "Zuo boy, guess what this is?" ”

Zuo Yin was a little helpless, and said suspiciously: "It can't really be medicine." ”

Lin Lao directly threw the package to Zuo Yin, and his face returned to his original serious expression, and he teased: "What do you think, it's to see that you left Southern Xinjiang for the first time and gave you something to miss." ”

Zuo Yin curiously opened the package, but found that it was a few seeds. Half a year of herbal study and life, although he may not be omniscient about plants and trees, but the seeds in the package are what Zuo Yin will definitely remember - wind grass.

Wind Whisper Grass is the most common grass and tree in southern Xinjiang, growing in the mountains and plains, and can be seen everywhere, so it is called "Wind Whisper", which means that with the wind can transmit thoughts, as the memory of southern Xinjiang, the seeds of Wind Whisper Grass are undoubtedly very suitable.

Zuo Yin couldn't help but be a little moved, Lin Lao's meticulousness made him a little warm, but Lin Lao waved his hand, expressing disdain, and said to Zuo Yin: "Zuo boy, don't think about it, this is Luo Lao's commission, let me help take care of him as a student along the way." ”

Luo Lao is Zuo Yin's "master" in herbal medicine when he was in Cangnan, but he only followed and studied, and did not formally apprentice.

After Zuo Yin got the seeds, he was also a little happy, Lin Lao sat for a while, then went to the bed to meditate again, and began to recuperate, and the winter afternoon passed gradually.

In the evening, Wu Jing refused the invitation of Ouyang Che, the county guard of Yudu, and Cui Linyuan, the governor of Yudu, and had dinner with the soldiers of the guard battalion. This kind of uprightness made Zuo Yin a little admired, of course he understood that Wu Gong did not refuse because he was Wei Guogong, but because he was Wu Jing, this is his character.

In the evening, Zuo Yin practiced knife skills for a while, and Gongsun Tao pointed out on the side, and then Zuo Yin returned to the room to continue reading.

The night in Yudu is different from the early rest of the post house, the streets are brightly lit, and the period from dinner to bedtime is the most prosperous time in Chongqing, when all kinds of jugglers begin to perform, and storytellers also tell the Spring and Autumn past before the empire in the shed, or the heroic epic of the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, which is a thriving scene.

Yudu, an alley.

The girl and the little maid that Zuo Yin saw during the day were in the alley, the girl looked up at the winter sky of Yudu, her eyes were full of curiosity about the stars, and the little maid was walking around boredly, kicking the stones with her feet from time to time.

"Whew" A tall figure instantly appeared behind the two, and after feeling the figure appear, the little maid ran over happily, hugged the figure's thigh, and smiled sweetly: "Grandpa Gao." ”

The girl gave a blessing and looked at the figure quietly.

The figure walked out of the darkness, but it was a tall old man who was a head taller than ordinary people, fifty or sixty years old, his eyes were like angry King Kong, the joints of his fingers were unusually thick, and the back of his hands was full of thick calluses.

The old man surnamed Gao kindly rubbed the little girl's head, looking extremely loving, in stark contrast to his fierce appearance, he opened his mouth and said to the girl, "Miss, it's time to go." ”

Before the girl could speak, the little maid said dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa Gao, don't you know, when we were in the Sanwei Library, there was a scholar who kept watching us." The old man surnamed Gao knew that this child would never lie in front of the big right and wrong, and looked at the girl with a solemn face at the moment.

The girl nodded slightly, and said, "Xiaoyu is right, but since we will leave tonight, there will be no extraneous branches." ”

Looking at the old man's suspicious eyes, the girl chuckled lightly and said with relief: "Grandpa Gao is too careful, he is not a spy of the empire, he is probably an eagle dog of a large family." ”

Hearing the girl say this, the old man didn't insist, he grinned and asked, "Miss met Wei Guogong today, and she has fulfilled her wish, right?" ”

The girl smiled: "When I saw Wei Guogong, I knew what kind of demeanor the world's famous generals were, but I was a little old after all." Anyway, Grandpa Gao, weren't you also in the Northern Expedition back then? What was Wei Guogong like when he was young? The girl's dark pupils were full of curiosity, so clear that they could almost reflect the stars of the night.

The old man sighed lightly, his voice was a little thoughtful, and he said: "During the Northern Expedition, I followed the master most of the time, and the only time I saw Wei Guogong on the battlefield was the Battle of Huangqi Lake, that battle, the total strength of both sides exceeded 150,000, and on that vast battlefield, the heroic posture of Wei Guogong and King Yan was really unforgettable in my life." ”

The old man's words were a little emotional, obviously recalling the era of gunpowder, but he immediately smiled apologetically, "What are you doing with such an old thing, let's go back as soon as possible." ”

The girl smiled, "Next, you won't be able to get out." ”

The old man comforted: "Miss, don't worry, the master said that the change in the world will be in the next year, and when the time comes, we don't have to live in such a panic." ”

The girl muttered, "Eight years of eternal life?" ”

The old man took the little maid's hand and disappeared into the night with the girl.

Yudu, the residence of Governor Cui Linyuan.

Originally, the Cui family and the Ouyang family prepared a big banquet together, wanting to entertain Wei Guogong, but they didn't expect to be directly refused, and the two families had no choice, so they had to go back to their respective homes and spend the night.

Cui Linyuan has only one son, and he treats him like a pearl in his palm, and now the son of the Cui family is in his hall, complaining to his chief personal guard:

"This Wei Guogong is really a backbone, our Cui family and the Ouyang family joined forces to invite him to dinner, but he didn't give him this face."

The guards are more than thirty or forty years old, with a strong breath and faint fluctuations on their bodies, which is a symbol of the Qi Harmony Realm. When the guard heard his son's complaint, he didn't care at all, and explained lightly: "If the Duke of Wei Guo was willing to condescend to be a little more condescending, he would have married a certain descendant woman of the Five Sects by now and become the first person in the Emperor's ** Department, instead of staying in the Dead Dragon Pass like now, and personally commanding the war at a young age." ”

Cui Gongzi smiled disdainfully, "This is also true, and it is rare to have this 'backbone'." ”

The guards did not comment.

At this moment, a scholar walked in with steps, and when Cui Gongzi saw this person, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said eagerly: "Tell me quickly, what did that girl do today?" ”

The scholar was the fourth person Zuo Yin saw in the bookstore, he knelt down on one knee and replied to the Cui family's son: "Qiqi Gongzi, that girl went to the Sanwei Bookstore at noon today, and she also talked eagerly with a young man. ”

"What?" Cui Gongzi was obviously quite surprised, he thought that the girl he met by chance was a cold woman, but he didn't expect it to be like this, his face instantly had some indignation, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Why do you report such an important matter now?" ”

The kneeling scholar shook his body, obviously afraid of Cui Gongzi's methods, and hurriedly explained: "Childe is angry, Childe has been with the master all day today, and the little one is really not easy to disturb." ”

Cui Gongzi then remembered that he had been talking to his father about the arrival of Wei Guogong all afternoon, and this scholar did not dare to disturb, but he could be forgiven.

Immediately, Cui Gongzi regained his calm and breezy expression, and asked, "Say, what did that girl do in the bookstore?" ”

The scholar immediately replied: "After the young man picked up the Zhuangzi, the girl seemed to be quite interested and came forward to talk to him. ”

"Zhuangzi"? Cui Gongzi smiled disdainfully, this kind of book that is full of big and unwarranted words, there are even people who read it, it seems that the young man is not very good, and then he asked, "What does that young man look like?" ”

The scholar's body shook again, and he could think of what would happen to this young man after he was found by his son-in-law, but when the boy asked, he had to answer truthfully.

"Hui Gongzi, it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a resolute face, very sharp eyebrows, and he walked like a soldier, right." The scholar seemed to remember something, and pointed to the guard behind Gongzi and said, "That young man's aura is very similar to that of the Qian guard. ”

Gongzi looked back, but saw the guard surnamed Qian narrowing his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The scholar hesitated a little, and said uncertainly: "The breath makes the villain a little frightened, but there is a difference, the breath on the young man's body is obviously stronger. ”

The guard surnamed Qian said to his son-in-law with some solemnity: "Childe, it seems that that young man is not simple, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has a strong bloody aura."

Before the guard could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Childe, who looked at the guard suspiciously and asked, "Escort Qian, aren't you afraid?" ”

Qian Huwei immediately knelt down on one knee, "How dare my subordinates, it's just that according to Zeng Shusheng's report, that young man looks like a soldier, and he still has the smell of blood, and his subordinates are afraid that he is a person who defends the country, so he admonishes the son." ”

Cui Gongzi let out a long breath, "Go on." ”

The guard continued: "Childe, just imagine, there are not many people who can have murderous energy at such an age, but they appear today, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, I am afraid that it is more likely to be the entourage of Wei Guogong, I heard that there is indeed a young man in the Wei Guo Gong convoy, Gongzi can go to inquire about some and then make a decision." ”

Cui Gongzi hesitated for a moment, and then ordered Zeng Shusheng: "Go, go and ask what the young man in the post house looks like, if it is really as Qian Escort said, this matter will be stopped." ”

The scholar hurriedly took the order and left, leaving the son and the guards in this hall.

Cui Gongzi slightly supported his forehead, this Yudu, there are even peers he can't treat, which makes him very unhappy, and the guard surnamed Qian is playing with the wrench of his left hand, the inside of the wrench, close to the side of the thumb, there is a small "Lin" word, if Zuo Yin can see it, he will be surprised to find that this "Lin" word, and the "Lin" of Qingshan City's "Lin Mansion", came from the hand of one person.

"Ah sneeze" Zuo Yin was reading a book, but he sneezed, he didn't know, unconsciously, he avoided some trouble.

"It's cold, go to bed early." Lin Lao said lightly, and Zuo Yin immediately turned off the lights.

Rest early, get ahead tomorrow.
