Chapter 172: Heading North

From Kaifeng City all the way to the north, about dozens of miles can reach the bank of the Yellow River, where there is a Liuyuan ferry, which can be directly ferried across the river to the opposite bank.

Wan Linggen, dressed in casual clothes, and Mrs. Haorui, dressed as a man, stood on the bank of the Yellow River with a map in their hands, and a man led a horse to keep a distance from them, sneaking a glance at this side from time to time.

"Rui'er, why is there no one at this Liuyuan Ferry?" Wan Linggen asked, looking at the empty scene in front of him.

Madame Rurui smiled charmingly: "With you, the god of thunder, who would dare to be stationed here?" She pointed to the other side, "Liu Yu's men and horses are all on the other side." She turned her head to look at the person standing not far away, and said in a low voice: "But the short-lived King of Qi fed the tiger, and this King Teng has also become your prisoner, and the other side may not know it." ”

Wan Linggen frowned and asked, "How can we cross the river without a ferry?" ”

Mrs. Yurui said: "This place is too close to Feng, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River are afraid of each other, so it has become a no-man's land. If you want to bypass this journey, it's different. ”

Wan Linggen thought for a moment and asked, "Our destination is Datong, but we don't necessarily have to cross the river from here. ”

Madame Extravagant threw him a grateful glance and said softly, "I heard that you have some relationship with the people of Taohuayu, and we can go from there." ”

Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can I cross the Yellow River there?" ”

Madame Luxe nodded, "From Taohuayu along the Yellow River to the west is the Pishan Mountain, where the river narrows, and it is very easy to pass through. ”

Wan Linggen said: "Okay, let's go in the direction of Taohuayu." He put away the map and came to Wanyan Zongying and asked, "Lord Teng, we are going to go west along the Yellow River, what are you going to do?" ”

Wanyan Zongying was surprised and said, "Don't you cross the river from here?" ”

Wan Linggen shook his head, "It's inconvenient. ”

Wanyan Zongying sighed and said, "I am your captive, how can I have the right to choose?" Wherever you go, I'll follow. ”

Wan Linggen smiled: "The prince is wrong, I said that once you get out of Kaifeng City, you are a free man, you can choose to go with us, or you can leave by yourself." If you have a way to cross the river from here, I'm sure the person on the other side will open the door for you. ”

Wanyan Zongying looked at Wan Linggen with his mouth open, he really couldn't believe that this Wan Da Wushuai let himself go so easily? Seeing Wan Linggen waiting for his answer, he gritted his teeth and said, "This...... The handsome man walked with Mrs. Zun, it seems that it is not convenient to have me, I should cross the river from here. "It's a bit of a reluctant reason, but it's better than nothing.

Wan Linggen said: "Okay, then let's say goodbye." If the horses can cross the river, you take them with you. In addition, I'm afraid that the currency in the package won't be able to be used after crossing the river, so I'll exchange it for silver for you, so take care of it. ”

Wanyan Zongying's heart swelled with an inexplicable emotion, and he clasped his hands into fists and saluted deeply: "If you are not from Song, we will definitely become best friends." Thank you Dashuai for the courtesy of many days, if he has the fate to see you again, Zong Ying will finish the report! ”

Wan Linggen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. In fact, if you can't be a friend, you don't have to be an enemy, don't you say? Let's leave it at that! After saying that, he took his horse and turned to walk towards Mrs. Lurui, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly came back and asked, "Lord, my lady, do you really not know me?" ”

Wanyan Zongying grinned and whispered, "I don't know!" Looking at the two walking away side by side, I couldn't help but feel a sense of turmoil in my heart. He pointed to his mouth, and a shriek rang out, and in a short time a small boat appeared on the river, slowly heading towards him.

"Rui'er, let's ride a horse, it'll be faster!" Wan Linggen glanced back at the boat that disappeared on the other side of the Yellow River and said.

Mrs. Russo's big eyes flashed, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Wan Linggen smiled dumbly, "What do I have to be anxious about, it should be you who is anxious, aren't you worried about your parents?" ”

When Madame Luxe heard him say this, the playfulness on her face was swept away, and in a blink of an eye she turned into a sad look, and she sighed and said, "In their eyes, my daughter is only a commodity, and it may be more valuable than ten cows." Saying that, the sparkle in her eyes sparkled as she looked at Wan Linggen, who looked confused, and smiled unnaturally, "How they treat me, that's their business, but I'm their children, they're my parents, and this can't change." Since it was because of my suffering, I eliminated their calamity, and it can be regarded as paying it off in two times. That being said, the look of loneliness on her face couldn't be concealed.

"Rui'er!" Wan Linggen stopped and whispered.

"What?" Madame Extravagant stopped to look at him, and saw him staring at her with open arms, her face changed several times, and she slowly came to him, and gently embraced him, tears flowed down her face, and at last the moment when the man withdrew his arms, she began to cry out loud.

Wan Linggen stood motionless, letting the woman in his arms soak his clothes with tears, only gently soothing her violently undulating back.

After a long time, Mrs. Lu Rui left him with red eyes, took a few deep breaths and said, "Actually...... Actually, they don't need me to worry, with my sister here, they will be fine, just curse me a few more times. ”

"You still have a sister?" Wan Linggen asked, holding her cold little hand in the palm of her hand.

Mrs. Lurui snorted and said softly: "She is a first-class beauty in my Dajin Kingdom, and her wisdom is invincible, I ...... I'm just a grass compared to her. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Wan Linggen was not interested in these things, and when she mentioned this, she was even more sad, and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and smiled: "Since that's the case, don't mention it." If you're not in a hurry, we'll walk slowly, anyway, no matter how big the world is, it's no bigger than two feet. ”

When Madame Lady Rude heard him say something funny, she couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and looked at him affectionately and asked, "Can I call you Xianggong?" ”

Wan Linggen blushed, and nodded without embarrassment, "Of course you can." ”

Madame Russ covered her mouth and smiled: "It's the first time I've seen a man who is shy, it's really funny." ”

Wan Linggen was even more embarrassed, so he simply stopped looking at her, looked at the water surface of the Yellow River for a while, and sighed softly.

"Do you regret it?" Madame Extravagant asked suddenly.

Wan Linggen shook his head, "There's nothing to regret. ”

Madame Russ said, "Can you tell me why you let him go?" And you seem to have a good relationship with that Golden Vulture Jochi. ”

Wan Linggen smiled faintly: "You may think that you have enemies without me, but in my eyes, whether it is the Jin people or the Song people, they are all my descendants of Great China." ”

"Greater China?" Madame Extravagant raised her sparkling eyes and looked at him, "What's that?" ”

Wan Linggen said proudly: "That is a name we share: the Chinese nation. What I want to do is to make them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”

Mrs. Yurui's eyes were a little confused, and she muttered, "The Chinese nation? We...... Can you really be a family? ”

Wan Linggen held her hand tightly, "Of course you can, and ...... Now, aren't we just a family? ”

Mrs. Russo's expression paused slightly, her face flushed, she suddenly shook the palm of Wan Linggen with her backhand, and said with great perseverance: "Rui'er in this life and this life...... It's all compatible...... Family. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt that they had a heart in touch with each other, and walked forward hand in hand.
