Chapter 34 Entering Tanglin County
In the Fushou gambling house, dozens of black shadows were scattered all over the roof, vigilantly watching the movements around them. In the courtyard, on the roof of the innermost house, Guo Qingzheng was lying comfortably on the glazed tiles, covering the sun with his hands, lazily basking in the sun. In the room, Chu Xiaofeng frowned, waiting for Mu Changlan's answer.
"In recent years, my eighth uncle's power has revived, constantly harassing the border between the two countries, and my father Khan originally wanted to unite the forces of the two countries to completely eliminate the eighth uncle's power. Who knows, after several negotiations, your Great Zhou has been reluctant to send troops for a long time. In order to show his sincerity, his father Khan proposed that the two parties make peace, the princess of the Great Zhou will marry Tuyu, and the county lord of my Tuyu will marry to the Great Zhou. Mu Changlan saw Chu Xiaofeng frowning and thinking deeply, as if she really didn't know about it, and she was also shocked in her heart. As the prince of Great Wednesday, he didn't even know that such a big event was fake? I was too anxious just now, and I didn't ask carefully, in case I was a wrong-hearted person, then wouldn't I be
"If you marry my eldest brother, I won't be surprised at all. But why did you want to marry my second brother? My second brother has always been obsessed with calligraphy and painting, drunk and gentle, how could he agree to marry a stranger like you. Chu Xiaofeng's brows furrowed even more, twisting into a pimple. Could it be that the forces behind the second brother have also begun to act?
"Brother Feng, I remember that seven years ago, you once wrote a poem for me. Lan'er can't remember clearly, I don't know if Brother Feng still remembers? Mu Changlan blinked her charming eyes and suddenly said with a smile. But she stepped back slightly, clutching the pillow tightly in her hand.
"You're so stupid, you can't even remember such simple verses." Chu Xiaofeng was frowning and thinking deeply, but he didn't pay attention to Mu Changlan's nervous expression, thinking that she had really forgotten. After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "The orchid smiles and reflects the beauty, and the spring breeze in the Western Regions Revlon." If it weren't for Qunfangtang, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. ”
Seven years ago, Chu Xiaofeng often had nightmares and was haggard. Mu Changlan gave him the amulet he was wearing, and Chu Xiaofeng was grateful, so he made a poem and gave it to her, which was considered a return gift.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, Brother Feng remembers it so clearly, Lan'er is so happy." Mu Changlan let out a long breath and put her arms around Chu Xiaofeng's neck, she was born in the Western Regions, and in their Tuyu country, the customs were much more open than those of the Great Zhou. When I woke up, I checked my body, and it turned out that I was not out of line. It's just that the kid who knocked himself out has to pay the price! He Mu Changlan is not an easy loser.
"Hehe, then why did you go to Tanglin County?" Chu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly. He gently pushed Mu Changlan away, got up and walked to the chair in the room and sat down. Mu Changlan's enthusiasm made him really unbearable.
"It's not my eighth uncle, in order to sabotage the alliance between the two countries, he actually attacked the Heqin team and forcibly took me away. However, I escaped on my own, and later I saw many dead people, and they said that they had the plague. Mu Changlan said angrily. Although he is also 10,000 not far away from marrying a second prince, it is better than being taken away by the eighth uncle. In case, the eighth uncle threatens his father Khan with himself, wouldn't it be a big mistake.
"I see. However, the whole county of Tanglin County is under martial law, how did you escape? Chu Xiaofeng was a little puzzled, a disaster like a plague would never allow anyone to escape, and if one person escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Haha" Listening to Chu Xiaofeng's words, Mu Changlan laughed out loud without any image, her move made Chu Xiaofeng stunned, and said in her heart: There is nothing wrong with this child, right? Seeing Mu Changlan, he said proudly: "The lord of this county first used a beauty trick to charm the deputy general of the guard and knock him unconscious. Then use a trick to lure the soldiers defending the city to find their lieutenant. The county lord left Tanglin County naturally, but he forgot to bring the money. In Da Zhou, the lord of the county had no relatives, and he didn't know how to return to Tuyu, so he could only beg all the way, and he wanted to steal some food from the inn, but he was knocked out by the bastard boy! ”
"Uh" Chu Xiaofeng was a little speechless, what does it mean to use a beauty trick first, and then use a trick to tune the tiger away from the mountain? This woman from the Western Regions is even more fierce than Guo Qingzheng, if it was a Da Zhou woman, she would have no opinion.
"By the way, Brother Feng, what's wrong with your face? When you were a child, you were so handsome, and people always wanted to marry you. Only then did Mu Changlan notice that Chu Xiaofeng's face was pockmarked, almost nothing to do with handsomeness.
After listening to Mu Changlan's words, Chu Xiaofeng's head was full of black lines, you girl just saw my face, what have you been looking at just now!
"My face is like this because I ate something I shouldn't have eaten." Chu Xiaofeng didn't dare to tell her the truth, in case she said it bluntly, wouldn't she be in danger.
"Gollum", "Gollum"
Mu Changlan still wanted to speak, but suddenly there was a gurgling sound in her stomach, which made Chu Xiaofeng cry and laugh, this child has not eaten for several days, and she is actually hungry now, her strength and excellence are still above Yu Wenlang.
"I'm hungry, I'll get you something to eat." Chu Xiaofeng touched Mu Changlan's head lovingly, he has always liked this lovely sister, and hopes to get along with her for a while this time.
"It's still Brother Feng who is good to me." Mu Changlan smiled mischievously at Chu Xiaofeng. Chu Xiaofeng got up and walked outside the house, his originally smiling expression instantly condensed, and became a little gloomy and terrifying, he wanted to discuss it with Guo Qingzheng, maybe this plague was the conspiracy of Tu Yu Guo and the prince of Hongtu to finish Yan He.
Five days later, hundreds of fat horses pulled nearly 100 carts and slowly drove away from Qinghe Town. On the cart, piled up with all kinds of medicinal herbs, Yang Hu* rode a high-headed horse, led 200 elite soldiers, and personally escorted him. Behind the line, a luxurious wide carriage followed. In the car, the poison doctor was chatting with Guo Qingzheng without saying a word, while Mu Changlan was glaring at Guo Qingzheng angrily. These days, she found that Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Qingzheng had a delicate relationship, and they often frowned, which made her feel crazy. Now, in Mu Changlan's heart, Guo Qingzheng is her number one rival.
On the bank of the Qinghe River, Chu Xiaofeng looked at the sunset that was about to set, with a knowing smile on his face, and finally solved the matter of the plague, which can be regarded as a good thing for the people of Dazhou. He turned around and walked into the house, brewed a pot of tea from Guo Qingzheng, poured himself a drink, and drank it happily.
With a soft sound of "Zheng", a long sword with a flickering cold light suddenly appeared on his neck, Chu Xiaofeng was shocked, he didn't expect that he had paid extra attention to his surroundings, this Dugu Qi could still come to his side quietly, it seems that this person's martial arts have really reached the extreme. After thinking about it, Chu Xiaofeng put down the teacup in his hand, stabilized his mind, and said lightly: "Isn't Dugu Daxia going to sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”
"I prefer tea with a dead man!" Dugu Qi shouted in a deep voice. That day, he went to Xu Daoyuan to settle accounts, but he didn't expect to be ambushed and seriously injured, and when he returned, his second brother and fourth brother both died tragically in the woods. One head was separated by a sword, and the other head was smashed into pulp, which made Dugu Qi almost lose his mind on the spot. Five of his brothers and sisters, who have been wandering the rivers and lakes together for more than ten years, but now they are separated by heaven and man, this revenge is not avenged, what face does he have to live in the world!
He originally wanted to find Chu Xiaofeng to take revenge, but who knows, when he tracked all the way to the bank of the Xiang River, he saw that this place was heavily guarded, and there were many masters secretly patrolling, which made him dispel the idea of sniping Chu Xiaofeng immediately. For the past few days, he has been lying in ambush in the distance, quietly waiting for the opportunity. Until today, seeing the team leaving, he couldn't wait to run out to take revenge.
"Hehe, people say that hatred can blind a person's eyes, and I think you're just that." Chu Xiaofeng smiled and said mockingly.
"Humph! No matter how clever your tongue is, today is also a sure death! Dugu Qi's eyes erupted with hatred, and with the force in his hand, he was about to cut off Chu Xiaofeng's neck.
"Slow! I have something to say! Chu Xiaofeng suddenly shouted, startling Dugu Qi, who was about to exert his strength. He hurriedly retracted his strength and said coldly: "Is it possible, do you think that with your quibbles, you can escape the catastrophe?" ”
"Dugu Daxia misunderstood, I didn't plan to quibble about anything, I was just curious, how did you green forest heroes get involved with a court official?" Chu Xiaofeng slowly filled himself with a cup of tea and said lightly. He really didn't understand what a group of mountain bandits had to do with Xu Daoyuan, could it be that there was some ulterior secret between them?
"Haha It doesn't hurt to tell you, we found that dog officer completely to save our eldest sister. Not long ago, she was arrested by Shen Jing Tianming while committing the crime. We just want the dog officer to help us rescue the eldest sister. Dugu Qi smiled hideously. Now the plan is going well, just wait for this kid to avenge the second and fourth children.
"Huh? I see, then you can go with peace of mind. Chu Xiaofeng groaned slightly, suddenly his eyes were cold, and he said softly.
"You" Dugu Qi listened to Chu Xiaofeng, this sudden sentence frightened all over his body. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, and the last time he was arrested, his greed for life and fear of death made him feel ashamed of him. But today, he showed a little fear all the time, which was too weird.
"Pretend to be a ghost and die for Lao Tzu!" Dugu Qi forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, roared, and slashed at Chu Xiaofeng's neck with his long sword.
There was a soft sound of "poof", blood splattered, and an arm holding a long sword fell to the ground in an instant, and the smell of blood immediately filled the room, staining the tables and chairs in the room red.
"Ahh Dugu Qi screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and looked at Chu Xiaofeng in front of him in disbelief, behind him, Yu Wenlang was holding a ghost head knife and was looking at him coldly.
"Lao Tzu has never left any trouble in his work, you old boy is really a pig, do you think Lao Tzu will be stupid waiting for you to kill!" Chu Xiaofeng stepped on Duguqi's head and sneered. Now that everything should have been known, there was no need for him to exist.
"Click" A piercing sound of bones shattering, mixed with a creepy scream, Chu Xiaofeng stomped Duguqi's head with one kick, and the broken skull sank deep into the dirt.
"Let's hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up with the big group." Chu Xiaofeng ignored Yu Wenlang, who was still stunned, turned around and smiled slightly, and said softly. Yu Wenlang raised his eyebrows, this Xiao Feng is righteous, but his methods are a little cruel, it is better to let himself kill this person with a knife, why do he have to suffer so much before he dies. Sighing softly, Yu Wenlang didn't say anything after all, who said that he owed him his life.
