Section 162 The water is cold and the people are warm
Although it was said that they were going south, Xiao Buyi and the others marched north from Xining Gate, the northern city of the eastern capital. It is now early spring, and the water of the Yellow River has thawed early, although the ice chips on the river can still be faintly seen, but there is no big problem with boating.
Huang Cheng and Liu Jiangyuan left the Eastern Capital, and immediately said respectfully: "My lord, according to your orders, the first stop on this southward journey is Qingjiang Racecourse in Songcheng. ”
"But I feel like we're heading north." Xiao Buyi is still a road blind, many places do not know, recently in the grassland, Mayi, near the eastern capital, after leaving the eastern capital, very dazed, fortunately, can still distinguish the southeast and northwest.
Liu Jiangyuan replied: "Lord Hui, Song City is south of Liang County, originally if we were on horseback, we could go all the way to the southeast." However, the former servant Shaoqing does not like to run, many times it is by boat, and his subordinates are only afraid of the hard work of adults, so they are ready to take a boat down the Yellow River, and then turn to the Jiqu to the south, just passing by the Qingjiang Racecourse, so that the adults can have a lot less of the pain of running around, I don't know what the adults want? ”
Xiao Buyi said secretly, this official is comfortable, and there are people who have prepared it properly along the way, where is it like when he is out of the jam, he fights for his life in blood, and it is very difficult.
"Just do everything as you say, if there is anything you need me to do, let me know."
Liu Jiangyuan said with a smile: "The subordinates don't dare to say the notice, it should be said that the return needs to be handled by the adults personally." "In the past, Yu Wenhua and went on patrol, and there were more than a dozen people in the Taifu Mansion, hugging each other before and after, and it was the first time I saw him when he only took him on a trip like Lord Xiao. However, this adult in front of him has something to fight on his own, and he is blessed to enjoy it, but it makes him admire in his heart, just say that the last time he took Huang Ling Zhao Chengpeng frightened the princess, if it was put in the past, most of them would have been blamed by Yu Wenhua and heavyly, but Lord Xiao apologized to the princess with a smile, and when he came back, he only said a word to be careful in the future, and there were no other words, so that all his subordinates were moved.
Ah Rust Zhou Muru is beside Xiao Buyi on the left and right, like a door god, they are all high-spirited and have never had a beautiful scenery. Beppe was as calm as ever, only a little less indifferent. Sun Shaofang rode over and said with a smile: "Is it the first time that Lord Xiao has gone down to Jiangnan?" ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "Brother Sun must be an old horse who knows the way." ”
"It's good for Lord Xiao to call me Shaofang," Sun Shaofang said shamefully: "Calling me Brother Sun is really killing me." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Sun is older than me, and it is not an exaggeration to call Brother Sun." ”
Sun Shaofang shook his head helplessly, "Lord Xiao is a rare modest among court officials, no wonder everyone obeys you." Brother, I have been to Jiangnan a few times, but I have followed the saint, and this time I was fortunate to follow Lord Xiao for an easy time, which can be regarded as a rare beauty. ”
Xiao Buyi said in his heart, when the old man Yuwen finds someone to plot against me, you will know if it is a bad beauty. Although he knew that the journey was not pretty, he was not afraid, he had been through too much bloody battle, and he had long been accustomed to it.
"Actually, it is indeed more comfortable to ride a boat than to ride a horse," Sun Shaofang looked back at the guards, "We have more than twenty people together, more than twenty horses, and at least three big ships must be prepared." ”
Everyone only traveled for half a day to the Yellow River Guandu, the guards were still serious, and they didn't understand the details of this Lord Xiao, but it can be seen that he talked and laughed all the way, and there was no official arrogance, but they quickly got together, and they all felt that it was really good to follow this adult.
The personnel of Guandu have checked everyone's documents, they are responsible for the transportation of ships all the year round, and they have seen that Xiao Buyi is extraordinary, although Xiao Buyi is only in civilian clothes, but a group of guards from the Eastern Capital followed, and their heads were not caught by the door panels. When Xiao Buyi saw the official boat, he realized that Wan'er's kind of boat was just a wooden plank floating on the water. According to his calculations, it is enough for such a large ship to be loaded with people and horses, he thinks that it is enough, and there is no need to waste too much, even if it is not the embarrassment of the cottage now, he has never worried about money, but he still has not developed any waste habits. However, Sun Shaofang insisted on refusing, saying that the rules of the court could not be broken, he Sun Shaofang was a personal guard, and Lord Xiao was a servant Shaoqing, and there were many people and horses, so it would be good to have three ships. Sun Shaofang is a pro-guard in Kyoto, an official of the seventh grade, and at least four or five thousand people like him in Kyoto, which is insignificant, but out of Kyoto, the seventh grade is already regarded as a big official in the eyes of the people, and a four-grade official like Xiao Buyi is rare for the people to see.
You must know that even if the Great Sui is the county order of the Eastern Capital, Xijing, Henan and other important places, but it is also the position of the fifth grade, Sun Shaofang's seven-grade official position, when he arrives at the place, it is also calling for wind and rain, the Guandu personnel heard Sun Shaofang's order, and prepared three big ships early, Sun Shaofang arranged Ah Rust, Zhou Muru and Bei Pei were on the same boat with Xiao Buyi, and Huang Cheng of course had to follow the adult's side, he also accompanied Xiao Buyi together, and the five people took a big boat, which was really empty and had a grand taste.
The rest of the guards were placed on another large ship, and all the horses were treated like the janissaries, and were placed on the third large ship. A large ship can accommodate as many as 200 people, and now only more than 20 people account for three, which can be imagined to be spacious.
Although Xiao Buyi didn't want to have any privileges, he gave a special explanation to the moonlight, the horse sent a circle, and finally returned to the owner, the moonlight neighed when he got on the boat, quite proud, Pei Pei looked at the moonlight, thoughtful. Sun Shaofang had also seen a lot of horses, but he was also full of praise for the moonlight, so he naturally instructed his subordinates to take care of them carefully and prepare good forage.
The ship is equipped with a servant, a cook and a boatman, and all the needs are in supply, so Xiao Buyi realized that it was really a wise move to bring Huang Cheng with him. Horseback riding is not as hard as riding a boat, and these three boats are their living place for more than ten days, and of course they have to be perfect.
Everything was ready, and the three big ships were sailing down the water, sailing down the water, and with a tailwind, the big ships were quite brisk.
When Sun Shaofang asked to understand that the itinerary was not in a hurry, he deliberately asked the boatman to lower the sails, slow down the boat, and go down the water.
Along the way, the early spring breeze on both sides of the strait is infinite, and the greenery gradually appears, the birdsong and the wind are light, the water is murmuring, the sky is high and the clouds are light, it is really a rare comfort and comfort for Xiao Buyi.
Ah Rust and Zhou Muru are both northerners, rarely see boats, I heard that the boat was originally fearful, but when I saw the big boat moving fast and steady, it was much more comfortable than riding a horse, and this trip was also relaxed.
The boat line said, the second day dawn has traveled more than 100 miles, Xiao Buyi finished practicing the method of easy tendons, out of the cabin, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, saw the green mountains and green waters on both sides, black soil and brown stones, quite pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that Bei Pei was on the deck, standing against the railing, Xiao Buyi walked over and looked at her from afar.
Bei Pei didn't turn his head, as if he knew it was Xiao Buyi.
"Brother Bei got up early." Xiao Buyi asked casually.
"Hmm." Pei Pei responded, "Aren't you the same. ”
"I don't know what Brother Pei is thinking?" Xiao Buyi had nothing to say.
Bei Pei finally turned his head, a smile on his lips, "I didn't really think about anything. Seeing Xiao Buyi's astonishment, Bei Pei explained: "Sometimes, it's a happy thing to think about nothing, doesn't Brother Xiao think so?" ”
Xiao Buyi felt that Bei Pei was almost the same as a philosopher, and also felt that her attitude towards herself had been much better recently, "What Brother Bei said is indeed good, but sometimes, I want to be happy but I can't ask for it." Happiness and power, status, and wealth are not equivalent, maybe many people think that being the emperor is the happiest thing, but when I saw the saint, I felt that he was more troubled than anyone else, he just thought too much, so Brother Bei said that he didn't want to be happy at all, I thought it was true. ”
Bei Pei listened quietly, and suddenly said, "Is Brother Xiao happy?" I always feel that you are always completely different from Miss Pei, but you are all people I admire. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows.
Bei Pei turned his head to look at the distant mountains and said softly, "Miss Pei has great wisdom, and Brother Xiao is actually the same. In the grassland line, Brother Xiao resolved the crisis invisibly, lifting the weight as lightly, but he just let the flowers bloom and fall. Although Miss Pei is brilliant, she is always worried, Brother Xiao is optimistic about his destiny, but he can be left and right, if you talk about power, you are not as good as her, if you talk about happiness, she is not as good as you. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it, I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and I hoe fields without flowers and wine!" Even if it is a hero, what can the supreme in the world do, what can be left as a memorial but being hoeed as an idle field, how can it be more comfortable than having flowers and wine? Speaking of which, I really want to congratulate Brother Pei on being at ease now. ”
"Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it?" Bei Pei muttered: "Brother Xiao is talented, but these two sentences show his open-mindedness. ”
Xiao Buyi secretly said that he liked Tang Yin's four poems, and he directly led them out, but he didn't expect that he was brilliant and open-minded.
Seeing that Xiao Buyi wanted to speak again, Bei Pei covered his mouth and smiled: "Is Brother Xiao going to say again, what kind of teacher taught you in all directions?" ”
Bei Pei covered his mouth and smiled, quite a child, but it was also because he had been a killer for a long time, and he had been unrestrained recently, and he had somewhat recovered a woman's heart. It's just that as soon as he covered his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, and he quickly let go, with a little shame in his eyes.
"Brother Bei is really smart, and he can guess it." Xiao Buyi ignored her small movements, and just laughed.
"Don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, no flowers and no wine hoeing fields?" Bei Pei read the last two sentences again, and sighed softly, "What you said is not bad at all, what can you do through the ages, in the end, it is just a piece of idle land." I have seen a lot of people climbing up in the temple, but it is rare to see someone like Brother Xiao, who comes and goes freely and is still chic. Presumably, Miss Pei also saw Brother Xiao's surname, so she didn't let Pei Valve contact you. ”
Xiao Buyi somewhat understood why Pei Yun had never been far away or close to him, it turned out to be Pei Mingcui's arrangement.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, you said that I will be welcome to your house as a guest in the future, I don't know if it is sincere or false?" Bei Pei asked suddenly.
"Does this require any pretense?" Xiao Buyi said sincerely: "Brother Bei still doesn't know my mind? ”
Bei Pei turned his head, not daring to look directly into Xiao Buyi's eyes, "But, but me, but if I wasn't Bei Pei, would you still welcome me?" ”
"Who are you not Bebe?" Xiao Buyi smiled dumbly.
Beppe stomped his foot and turned away, leaving behind a sentence as he left, "Stupid! ”
Xiao Buyi couldn't cry or laugh, she couldn't understand Bei Pei's intentions, she was pretending to be a man, did she still want to treat her as a woman? Turning his head to look over, he found Ah Rust and Zhou Muru whispering, and couldn't help but walk over, "What are you muttering?" ”
"Nothing." Ah Rust straightened his waist and said, "Boss Xiao, we are studying what it means for two men to whisper?" ”
Xiao Buyi looked at the two of them and nodded: "Yes, you two big men are whispering here, and I'm also curious about what it means." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Ah Rust and Zhou Muru, who were stunned, crying and laughing.
**The boat traveled to the night, and had arrived at the junction of the Tongji Canal and the Yellow River in the Great Sui, and the boat slowly turned into the Tongji Canal, and then went south. Xiao Buyi then discovered the smooth communication and transportation of the Grand Canal, in his era, the transportation was particularly developed, and the dependence on the canal was not so urgent, but in this era, the canal water conservancy was a great communication between the north and the south. The ships on the canal shuttled back and forth, and there was already prosperity in early spring, and he Xiao Buyi also took advantage of the water conservancy of the Grand Canal to travel south.
Cheng Huang Ling knew that Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry, and for the sake of safety on the boat, he also stayed overnight, and did not sail at night.
On the way, it is not a day, this is said to go south along the Tongji Canal, it has passed Xingyang, Junyi, and the front is Yongqiu. Everyone saw that Xiao Buyi had no intention of getting off the boat, and they all followed, after all, they were the bosses, they were the guards, but they were all panicking on the boat.
Sun Shaofang knew everyone's intentions, and said to Xiao Buyi with a smile: "Lord Xiao, I don't know if you are tired of being on the boat these days?" When I passed Xingyang, I thought that the adults would get off the boat, but I didn't expect that the adults were very real, and they let go of such a good opportunity to fight the autumn wind. ”
Xiao Buyi's surname is calm, in addition to enjoying the scenery and chatting with Bei Pei, Ah Rust Zhou Muru and a few others, he is concentrating on practicing qi, only to prevent someone from plotting. Now that they are on the boat, needless to say, the chances of others plotting are much less, he has never slackened, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble, when he heard Sun Shaofang ask, he knew his intentions, and said with a smile: "Always on the boat, it is indeed a little tired, the brothers are all hard all the way, why don't we rest after we arrive in Yongqiu and then go to Songcheng?" ”
Sun Shaofang said happily: "Lord Xie Xiao understands, we dare not say that we are hard, but it is true that these people are panicking on the boat." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, looked at the river, and suddenly saw two small boats on the opposite side going upstream, Sun Shaofang looked at it for a moment, his eyes were puzzled, and before he could say anything, Bei Pei had already walked over and said in a low voice: "There is a problem with the boat." ”
Bei Peiping said that he didn't talk much, and he could talk a few words with Zhou Muru and Ah Rust, and the rest of the time he was looking at the river on the deck, as if looking at the sky, Xiao Buyi already knew that she was experienced, and she seemed to be casual, but she was paying attention to the abnormal behavior around her, although it was the fault of being an assassin's guard, but she was definitely a guard for herself, and she couldn't help but be moved.
Sun Shaofang also nodded and said: "What Brother Bei said is very true, I also have some doubts, although there are boats coming and going on the river, but usually small boats see big ships like us, they all know that it is an official boat, if it is the people, most of them will avoid it early and catch up with the ......."
"Most of the people who come up with bad intentions are ill-intentioned." Bei Pei said coldly: "Now bandits are rampant, the river here is within the scope of Wagang captivity, and there are often Wagang bandits, so we have to guard against it." ”
Sun Shaofang nodded, whistled, and the big boat that followed behind woke up, and all the guards were on standby.
Xiao Buyi couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother Sun, in order to make us spacious, you put all the guards on the boat behind, who will protect us?" ”
Sun Shaofang smiled and said: "Although there are only five people on this boat, I am only afraid that the other party will be a top master to gain something." ”
While the two were talking, the two boats had arrived in front of the big boat, and the boatman also found that something was wrong, and shouted again and again, letting the boat dodge, but the boat was quite agile, and the fish-like swing had already bypassed the bow of the boat left and right, and went to both sides of the big boat.
"Rust Muru is going to guard the left side." Xiao Buyi shouted in a low voice.
Rusty Zhou Muru rushed to the left side of the big boat early and looked short, and saw that a person on the small boat had taken a hook and had lassoed the side of the big boat, so that the boat was close to the big boat, and three people came out of the small boat, holding a lasso and a steel knife at his belt, just with a wave, he grabbed the railing of the big ship, and he had climbed towards the big boat with ease.
Ah Rust was silent, and Zhou Muru asked in a low voice, "Ah Rust, cut the rope?" ”
"Wait a minute." Ah Ru said in a low voice, and when one person climbed onto the side of the boat, Ah Ru took out his knife and slashed at the man's wrist. The person was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but Ah Rust's move was a false momentum, and the long knife turned and already cut the person's head.
The other person was taken aback, he didn't expect his opponent to be so fierce, and when he saw his companion falling into the water without his head, his heart was cold, but he heard the wind in the back of his head, and there was a loud 'bang', and he was dizzy and had fallen into the water.
Zhou Muru hit the back of the man's head with a stick, knocked the man into the water, and hit the last person, the man shouted angrily, grabbed the rope with both hands, didn't have time to dodge, and the whole person swung away. Ah Rust snorted coldly, and the long knife came out of his hand and threw it, trying to stab the man into a transparent hole in midair.
The man was also quick, hurriedly loosened the rope, 'goo-dong' into the water, and disappeared in an instant.
The right side of the ship was solved earlier, and without Xiao Buyi Beipei's move, Sun Shaofang had already killed the two of them cleanly, kicked one person into the water, and when he returned the knife into the sheath, he smiled and said: "These people also came out to rob, and the weight seems to be a little insufficient." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two small boats went upriver early, and Beppe suddenly shouted: "Not good. ”
"What's wrong?" Sun Shaofang asked puzzled.
"Since they have fled, they should have dispersed, but they are heading up to the big ship, and the target is the second ship." Bei Pei's face changed slightly.
Sun Shaofang smiled and said: "Brother Bei is worried, there is no Lord Xiao on that ship, there are only a dozen guards, although their martial arts are not high, after all, they are not out to eat." ”
His meaning was very simple, since these people couldn't help this boat, how to please the group of guards, but before he finished speaking, his eyes froze, and he lost his voice: "It's not good." ”
The two small boats went upstream, and in an instant they reached the side of the second boat, and two more people appeared on the boat, and jumped into the water together with the boatman. All the guards were puzzled, but Sun Shaofang shouted loudly: "Be careful of them scuttling the boat." ”
Before his words fell, there was a 'plop' sound around him, Sun Shaofang turned his head to look over, and saw Xiao Buyi shouting urgently: "Brother Bei is back." ”
The water waves swam quickly towards the central boat, Xiao Buyi frowned, and also went into the water, swimming closely with Bei Pei. Now the river is icing, but it is early spring, and the river is indescribably cold, Bei Pei jumped down without hesitation, and Xiao Buyi is the same. Sun Shaofang stomped his feet anxiously, except for the boots, he also jumped down, he was appointed by the saint to protect Xiao Buyi, not to mention that Xiao Buyi jumped into the water, even if he jumped into the fire, he had to follow! If Xiao Buyi is in trouble, he doesn't have to go back to the capital.
Ah Rust also wanted to dive, but was grabbed by Zhou Muru, "Ah Rust, do you know how to water?" ”
"I won't, I forgot." Ah Rust finally said in a little hurry: "Mu Ru, what about you?" ”
Zhou Muru smiled bitterly: "I won't either." ”
The two were just in a hurry, but they saw that Bepei had surfaced, changed their breath, and then continued to dive underwater. Sun Shaofang was the same, only Xiao Buyi did not move, falling like a scale, and never floated again. Ah Rust Zhou Muru looked at each other, but there was nothing to be done, Ah Rust suddenly said: "The young master is also a northerner, and it seems that he doesn't know how to water." ”
"What then?" Zhou Muru hurriedly said: "Ah Rust, you are smart, think of a way." ”
Ah Rust was already desperate, but he saw the blood spreading on the river, and then Xiao Buyi had already floated up, turned his head to look around, and then dived down again.
Ah Rust saw Xiao Buyi churning in the water, flexible and light, and couldn't help but be surprised: "When will the young master know the water, it's really strange!" ”
Of course, the previous Xiao Buyi didn't know water, but the current one is proficient in water. When he saw Bei Pei enter the water, he already understood her intentions, but he was afraid that she would be alone, so he jumped into the water without hesitation. He is proficient in the water, his internal strength is strong, he holds his breath in the water, just slapped with his palm, and the reaction force made him rush away, and in an instant he went under the big boat that went down the river, and saw a person who was working hard to chisel the bottom of the boat, and he was furious in his heart, and he swam over. The man had a water-splitting thorn in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Buyi coming, he secretly laughed at him for not being able to do anything, he was proficient in the water surname, and he had been holding his breath underwater for a long time, of course he didn't put Xiao Buyi in his eyes. With the force under his feet, the water thorn had stabbed at Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi reached out and twisted it, and he had already broken the man's wrist, took the man's water thorn and stabbed it into the man's heart.
The man's eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, obviously not convinced that someone could kill him in the water, but he couldn't accept it, so he could only die.
Xiao Buyi and blood surfaced together, which was a scene that Ah Rust had only seen. He looked down on the water and found that there was an abnormality on the surface of the water, knew that there was a fight, dived down to help, and found that Bei Pei had also solved one person. After Bei Pei solved the man, he only felt that the water behind him was surging, and he stabbed back with his sword without hesitation, but was grabbed by someone's wrist, Bei Pei was shocked, but he saw that the man let go and retreated, and recognized that it was Xiao Buyi, although in the cold water, his heart suddenly felt warm.
She jumped into the water not for the guards on the boat, but only for Xiao Buyi, but Xiao Buyi followed, and he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't worry about himself without asking. I don't know when it started, the roles of the two of them have silently changed, from her protecting Xiao Buyi at the beginning to Xiao Buyi starting to protect her, then he met at the beginning, saying that Brother Bei is strong in martial arts and he needs help, but now, he is already insincere.
The two surfaced, and when they saw the third blood coming out of the water, Sun Shaofang surfaced, looked at Xiao Buyi with a wry smile, and said loudly: "There is another one." ”
Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "Poor Kou Mo chased after him." ”
Sun Shaofang was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly said, "In that case, Lord Xiao and Brother Bei, please get on the boat." "He is a personal guard in Kyoto, and he is usually pampered, where has there been such a time of sin. When Fang Cai was fighting, he didn't feel anything, but now that the enemy is gone, Sun Shaofang only feels like he is immersed in ice, and he is miserable. Seeing that Bei Pei was actually wearing a tight-fitting water backing, I admired his thoughtfulness, could it be that Bei Pei had already known that someone was coming, so he was prepared? Sun Shaofang had a little doubt about Bei Pei at this time, but he thought that Xiao Buyi trusted this person a lot, but he didn't dare to ask more.
The three of them got on the big boat, and all the guards hugged them, and they were full of praise and said: "The two adults are strong in martial arts, and this brother is not bad, and we really admire the five-body throw." ”
Sun Shaofang was full of anger, "You fucking said good things at this time, why didn't you go into the water to help?" Are you protecting Lord Xiao, or are you protecting you? ”
The guards looked at each other in silence. They are more delicate than Sun Shaofang, Sun Shaofang is duty, they can't help but go into the water, but they feel that the overall situation has been decided, the river is cold, there is really no need to go into the water, at this time, I think about it, I have been swimming well these days, but I forgot that I came to protect Lord Xiao, they are all shocked, and secretly said that if Lord Xiao is to blame, I am afraid that all people will not be able to escape punishment.
"It's over." Xiao Buyi was in good luck, and he only felt warm for a while, but the discomfort on his body [***], seeing that Sun Shaofang and Bei Pei were both frozen and their faces turned blue, and he said urgently: "Brother Sun, Brother Bei, go into the cabin to rest, don't catch a cold." ”
The guards found something to do, and divided into three groups to help, to help the three of them to the cabin, but Bei Pei pushed away the guards beside him, and just said coldly: "I want to go back to my room first." ”
All the guards thought that this person had a strange temper, but Xiao Buyi knew what was going on, so he had to let the boat dock, and Bei Pei got into his big boat and hid in the room and never came out. The boatman checked the bottom of the boat and found that there was no serious problem and the boat could be sailed. The guards were not at ease, and would rather share a boat with the horses than take the original boat, most of the guards here were landlubbers, but they were afraid that the ship would sink and send their lives here.
The boat traveled for a long time, and finally arrived at Yongqiu, and everyone stopped the boat and went ashore, thinking of the ambush not long after, they were all secretly frightened. Sun Shaofang instructed everyone to be quiet and not to make trouble, and he and Huang Cheng went to find the county order of Yongqiu County first, Sun Shaofang's opinion was that it didn't matter if he was wronged, but he couldn't be wronged by Lord Xiao.
Xiao Buyi walked to Bei Pei's room, knocked on the door and asked, "Brother Bei?" ”
"Come in." Bebe's voice was deep.
Xiao Buyi pushed the door and found that it was a false cover-up, and when he went in, he found that Bei Pei was covered in the quilt, baking the stove, and it seemed that it was still very cold.
Xiao Buyi was a little distressed, "Brother Bei......"
Bei Pei sneezed and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao, I was rude." ”
"You have a cold?" Xiao Buyi was taken aback, he heard the bearded guest say that because people who practice martial arts have a strong physique, they will not easily be infected with wind cold, but if they are infected with wind cold, it is usually very serious.
"It's a little bit, it's okay." Bei Pei shook his head and sneezed a few more times, his teeth chattering.
Xiao Buyi reached out and touched his forehead, and said in a lost voice: "Your forehead is so hot." ”
Bei Pei saw Xiao Buyi stretching out his hand, subconsciously shrunk down, and when Xiao Buyi put his hand on her forehead, he no longer dodged, and forgot the cold for a while. When Xiao Buyi retracted his hand, Bei Pei still felt a little hot all over his body, but he was instantly dissipated by a chill, and he couldn't help wrapping the quilt tightly.
"Brother Bei, don't you have any medicine for wind and cold?" Xiao Buyi asked.
Bei Pei smiled bitterly: "I have all kinds of knife wound medicine and antidote, but there is no medicine to cure wind and cold, and I didn't expect my physique to become so bad." ”
"There are no doctors on this ship, I'll carry you off the ship to see a doctor later." Xiao Buyi was a little nervous, and blamed again: "Brother Bei, what are you doing when you go into the water, the boat will be chiseled, what's the matter, it's a big deal to make those guards suffer a little." You weren't such a zealous person! You obviously didn't recover from your serious illness last time, and this time you desperately entered the water again, do you think you are beaten by iron? You don't know self-love like this, don't you know the worries of others so desperately? ”
Seeing Bei Pei's dark eyes looking at him, Xiao Buyi finally stopped, and said with a weak heart: "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”
"You're worried about me?" Bei Pei asked.
Xiao Buyi finally nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I'm worried about you." ”
"It's nothing if the ship sinks, but don't kill those people, there's a ship behind the ship." Beppe hung his head and said no more.
Xiao Buyi's heart shook wildly, "Brother Bei, you said you don't want the moonlight to fall into the water?" ”
Bei Pei didn't look up, just coughed, Xiao Buyi's nose was slightly sour, patted her shoulder and said, "Silly boy, why are you so troubled!" ”
"I like it." Bei Pei said three words, in the past, it was always hard and there was no room for reversal, but now when he says it, he is full of warmth.
Xiao Buyi was stunned, he never thought that Bei Pei would be so affectionate to him, not only wanted to protect his life, even if his horses were so caring, where was this still the cold and unsentimental mustachioed Bei of the grassland!
**"Lord Xiao, where is Lord Xiao?" A voice rang out, full of anxiety.
"Wait, I'll go out and deal with it first." Xiao Buyi pushed the door out, only to feel that Bei Pei looked up at his back, full of tenderness, and couldn't help but stir in his heart.
Sun Shaofang took the lead, followed by several people, all of whom were sincerely frightened and full of sweat. Seeing Xiao Buyi walking out of the room, Sun Shaofang said in a loud voice: "Cao County Order, this is Lord Xiao, the servant Shaoqing." ”
Cao Xianling's face was greasy and full of sweat, and when he saw Xiao Buyi, he saluted and said: "Lord Xiao is here, and I am not welcome from afar, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
The county commander was followed by the county magistrate, Gong Cao, and the main Bo and the cadres, all of whom were sincerely afraid. Sun Shaofang sneered again and again: "One forgiveness is enough? Lord Xiao inspected the pastures of the world, but also inspected the political achievements of various places, but before we arrived in Yongqiu, we first encountered bandits and robbers, and almost scuttled our boat, let me ask you, how did you act as a county magistrate, do you just eat? If Lord Xiao talks about this matter to the saint, I am afraid that you will not have to be the county commander. ”
Cao Xianling was sweating profusely, and he didn't know that Sun Shaofang was lying and threatening, so he only thought that Xiao Buyi really had the will to inspect the political achievements of all parties. It turned out that the Great Sui would send officials from Si Litai and other histories to inspect the place from time to time, and sometimes they would also send court officials to concurrently serve as officials, Xiao Buyi was not a big official in Kyoto, he could only be said to be a celebrity, but when he arrived in Yongqiu, the high official position could only be worshiped by Cao County. Seeing that Xiao Buyi was young and the big ship was of such specifications, Cao Xianling dared to ask anything, but just said, "My lord forgives my sins, my lord's dereliction of duty, my lord's forgiveness, my lord's dereliction of duty." ”
Sun Shaofang wanted to say something, but Xiao Buyi waved his hand to stop, "Cao Xianling doesn't have to blame himself, but my friend occasionally feels cold when he enters the water, please find the best doctor immediately." ”
Sun Shaofang lost his voice and said, "Is Brother Bei sick?" Seeing Xiao Buyi nodding, he didn't care about his official authority, and hurriedly asked Cao County to find a good doctor, Cao County ordered the lord to find it, but said to Xiao Buyi: "Lord Xiao, when I came to my humble position, I had already asked people to clean the cold house, and now there is a room empty, I heard Lord Sun say that the adults will stay here for two or three days, it is better to go to the cold house with your friends to rest, I don't know what Lord Xiao wants?" ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "It's the best, it's just disturbing Cao County's order." ”
Cao Xian Ling heard Xiao Buyi's answer, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Don't bother, don't bother, the adults have arrived, and the cold house is shining." ”
Xiao Buyi entered Bei Pei's room, talked about the whole story, and asked Bei Pei's opinion, Bei Pei said a little weakly, "It's okay to rest, I'm just afraid of delaying your trip." ”
Xiao Buyi was moved in his heart, and just smiled on his face: "I came out this time to act cheaply, you don't have to forget." Brother Bei's body is important, don't shirk. He stepped forward and carried Bei Pei on his back, and Bei Pei did not object, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was ashamed.
Last time, she was also carried by Xiao Buyi, but at that time, she deliberately suppressed her emotions and deliberately was indifferent to Xiao Buyi, but she didn't feel anything, but now that she is not restrained, her concern for Xiao Buyi is naturally unbearable. Looking at Xiao Buyi, Bei Pei had a thousand thoughts in his heart for a while, and he couldn't forget it bit by bit!
Xiao Bu came out with Bei Pei on his back and refused the kindness of everyone's helpers, just afraid that Bei Pei would be angry. When I got off the boat, I found that Cao Xian Ling had someone carry a sedan chair over, which was originally intended to be given to Lord Xiao, but of course Xiao Buyi gave this right to Bei Pei. Lord Xiao spoke, and others only listened, so Lord Xiao and Cao County Commander guarded on both sides, all the guards followed, and a group of subordinates embraced, and everyone began to march towards Cao County's cold house.
Along the way, the people saw this pomp, avoided and dodged early, but in private they were talking about it, Cao Xianling was already the king of heaven here, and when he saw him, he was respectful to that young man, could it be that person who was a prince and grandson? It's just that the young man's status is so respectful, and he is riding a horse next to him, and the big official sitting in the sedan chair is really unimaginable!
Of course, the cold house is not cold, on the contrary, it is warm, a group of maids and subordinates came out early to serve, and even Cao County's wife also came out to greet them. However, seeing that she was only fat and not thin compared to Cao Xianling, Xiao Buyi doubted that these two people could raise them in Yongqiu.
Cao Xianling's house is of course much worse than the house of the Kyoto scholars, and it is also considered to be of the same level in the local area, Cao Xianling prepared the best room early, Sun Shaofang saw that Cao Xianling was already busy with his feet and slapped the back of his head, and greeted him thoughtfully, but it was not good to ask for anything.
The divine doctor then arrived, the fairy wind bone, it was too late to introduce politeness, first to take Bei Pei's pulse to see a doctor, but he took the pulse for a long time, his brows became more and more tight, Xiao Buyi was worried in his heart, and he was worried like never before!
