Chapter 114: The Wild Goose Flying (1)
"Let me see you!" Si'er's eyes were full of tears, but her mouth smiled sweetly, "Stinky girl, I'm almost scared to death by you, I can't do this again in the future." ”
"Si'er, who do you guess I'm seeing right now?" I reached out to wipe away her tears and smiled mysteriously.
"You've seen Yu An." Si'er's face was flushed with a red cloud, and she said shyly to me, "I met him at the foot of Mount Hua when I was waiting for you and Wuxie, and he also saved me from a few mountain bandits." ”
"What! You were the one he saved in the village that day?! I covered my mouth and giggled, laughed and hugged Si'er's neck, and muttered, "It's good, Si'er is so good." ”
"Why are you crying again?" Si'er touched my head, "I heard from the person who came to pick me up, you are going to Jin Kingdom?" ”
"Go with me! Or - are you going to stay here and take care of your grandpa? ”
"You forget, we swore to the moon before, and we will be together no matter what happens. In this life, I will accompany you wherever you go. ”
"And your grandfather?"
"The general found my third uncle to be the head of the house, so that my grandfather can grow old in the house."
"Great! That way we don't have to be separated! ”
"Hey, are you two done?" I had a good chat with Si'er, but I forgot that there was an innocent person standing next to me. Innocent tore Si'er away, opened his arms at me and muttered, "It's time to change me, right?" ”
Si'er and I burst out laughing, and Si'er laughed: "Your little wolf is looking for A-Niang, hurry up and coax him!" ”
I smiled innocently and said, "Thank you for helping me take care of Si'er, you can also go back to the Jin Kingdom with me!" We can go hunting in the bamboo forest by the muddy water and shoot fish in the river. ”
"If you don't take me, I'll bite you to death right now!" Innocence opened his mouth and took a bite on top of my head.
"It hurts-" I punched the innocent in the head, "get rid of your bad habit of biting, and I'll take you away again!" ”
"Who is he?" Wuxian pointed at Zhao Wuxian behind me with his chin.
"He's my friend in the Jin Kingdom, and his name is Wuxian." I pulled Zhao Wuxian over.
Si'er saw that he was shirtless with a sword and a crown, and his bearing was extraordinary, so he saluted respectfully. Wuxian has never understood etiquette, greeting is a nod, provocative fights are also nodding, he nodded twice and didn't know what it meant.
"He grew up with wolves, so he doesn't know much etiquette, so don't take it personally." I explained to Wuxian.
"That's him! I'm pretty good at talking now. Wuxian sneered, turned his head to talk to Si'er, and no longer cared for innocence.
"I don't like this guy." Innocent said with an iron face, I sighed in my heart, that person doesn't seem to like you either.
After my "death", Wuxian and Si'er disappeared together, and the head of the family, Qin Gu, was anxious to ask people to look around, and after Wu Feng returned to Yong from the northwest, he sent all parties in the palace to search for the traces of the two of them. Therefore, when Wuxian appeared at the back door of the Wu Mansion with Si'er, he was soon discovered by the guards in the mansion. Originally, it was not difficult to escape with innocent skills, but he had Si'er by his side, and he was sent to Wu Cover after several fights.
After seeing me, Wuxian patted his chest and proudly told me that Wu Feng had asked him many times in the previous months why he had left Wufu with Si'er, but he strictly kept his agreement with me and said nothing. I just nodded and smiled after listening, innocent thoughts have always been written on my face, even if he doesn't say anything, Wu Feng will definitely be able to find the answer he needs from him.
"Why don't you praise me? In order to help you keep it a secret, I drank corn soup for more than a month. You see, I'm all thin! Innocent peeled off his clothes and showed me his "emaciation".
"I know you've suffered, now eat more!" Because I knew that Wuxian and Si'er would come back today, I specially burned a large pot of broth in the kitchen of the General's Mansion, "The Jin State is not as good as the Qin State, after you go, you must learn the etiquette with me first, otherwise I will offend people if you are rude one day, and I won't save you." "I took a big bowl of crispy pork meat and handed it to Innocent.
"Got it!" He snorted and ate half a bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "I listened to your words that day and sent a thousand days of drunkenness to Yichen, and before he drank it, I asked me to see you next time, so I will give this to you." Wuxian took out a scroll of books and a stack of silk paintings from the baggage he was carrying, "He said that if you have the opportunity to meet a person named Bian Que in the future, ask him whether the medicine written on this book is correct, and what are the omissions?" ”
"What is this?" Si'er leaned over and took a look.
I opened the silk cloth and the book and read it carefully, and said in surprise: "This silk cloth is painted with poisons that grow in the four seasons of the world, and what is written on the book is their medicinal properties and some antidote methods that Yichen himself has explored. ”
Yichen's record in the book reminds me of the bottle of poison that Shi Mo gave me when I left the Jin Kingdom a few months ago. In fact, most of the legendary evil curses and death curses were achieved by sorcerers using poisoning methods unknown to the gods and ghosts.
"What did he do with this hurtful thing for you?" Si'er asked.
"Tianshu is a place where people kill people for their patrons, Yichen has developed a lot of poisons for Tianshu over the years, but he has always been a healer who heals diseases and saves people, if the poisons recorded on it can find herbs that can be used to restrain each other, it can be regarded as a medical book that saves people."
Yichen kept a room full of all kinds of small animals next to the medicine garden in order to test his poison and antidote. The "Soul Technique" I used on Yin Gao was actually a hallucinogenic herb, and I tried it on the snow monkey many times at that time, so that it now hides away when it sees me.
"It seems to have grown a lot?" I smiled as I pointed to the snow monkeys hiding in the corner.
When the snow monkey saw me pointing at it, he whimpered a few times, looking pitiful to be slaughtered.
"It's eating much better than me these days!" Innocent glanced at Si'er and said indignantly.
"I'm in a hurry on the road, how can I have time to get food for your wolf cub!" Si'er glared at Innocent and retorted.
"You two are not allowed to quarrel in the future, I have a courtyard in Jindu, and the three of us will live together from now on!" I grabbed the two of them and clasped them in my lap, feeling extra grounded.
"Are you willing to let go of the general?" Si'er asked cautiously.
"The general is going to marry the daughter of the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom, and that noble girl can't accommodate other women in her eyes, if I stay here, it will not be good for everyone. The general and I have already missed it, and now we are on two forks in the road, and we can only go further and further...... Si'er, when we arrive in the Jin Kingdom, I will find a way to get someone to bring a letter to Yu An, and you two can't miss it again. ”
"Is it true that Yu An is an assassin of Tianshu?" Si'er frowned slightly and asked softly.
"He's an assassin of Tianshu, and he's a mystery from his background, so you don't want him?"
"Even if he's a thief who kills people and sets fires, I don't care!" Si'er's face was red by the firelight, and there was a girl's firmest belief in love in her watery eyes.
"That'll be fine." I patted her hand and said softly, "Let's go to bed early tonight, we'll be leaving for Jin Kingdom in a few days!" ”
In the early morning, before the sun rose, everyone left Yongcheng by boat in the misty morning mist. Wu Feng prepared a boatload of gifts as a gift for courting the Zhao family, and also invited Dr. Baili as a messenger to go to the Jin Kingdom with him.
"General Wu is really hearted, near the beginning of winter, migratory birds fly south, he sealed a wild goose with cold ice for me as a gift." Bo Huan stood on the side of the boat with a sword, and a pair of apricot eyes seemed to be able to squeeze out honey.
"It is a blessing for a noble lady to have such a careful and considerate husband." I looked at the flowing water under my feet, and said with a smile on my chin, "There are six gifts for matchmaking, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Naji, asking for a sign, asking for a date, and marrying. ”
"Why?"
"Geese, the wood falls to the south, the ice pan flows north, conforms to yin and yang, and the exchanges are orderly. The husband is yang, and the wife is yin, which just responds to the order of the woman from the husband, so the wedding is a goose as a ceremony. This means that after the noble daughter gets married, she is no longer a member of the Zhao family, but she must do her best to assist the husband. ”
"I naturally know this, since I have decided to marry him, I will definitely take care of him, and put him first in everything." Bo Huan raised his chin and said loudly.
I nodded and smiled in relief, and turned to walk into the cabin.
"Zidian, aren't you annoyed with me?" Bo Ying asked in a whisper behind me.
"I can't afford what the noble lady can give him, so I lose. As for the matter of concubines, if a woman really loves a man, she will naturally not be able to tolerate other women in her eyes, and she will compare her heart with her heart, I think I understand you. Without waiting for her to respond, I dodged sideways into the cabin.
"She's the one the general wants to marry?" Si'er whispered in my ear.
"Hmm." I nodded and glanced at Bo Huan, who was in a daze not far away, "She is of noble birth and excellent swordsmanship, maybe she can accompany the general to kill the enemy in the future, which is good." ”
"Are you willing?"
"Not reconciled, but such a result is the best."
Wu Feng now holds the power of the army, and he can indeed ignore Gongzili's wishes and force me to stay by his side. But one day, Gongzi Li becomes the king, and the military power and I will become a rift between him and the king. The rift would widen over time until one day it would divide the two of them once and for all. And that's exactly what I don't want to see.
Ke Boying is different from me, she can tie Wu Feng, Gongzi Li and the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom tightly together. It is the tripartite checks and balances that can strengthen the covenant between them.
"What are you so unwilling to reluctant!" Mi Cao, who was sitting silently on the side, suddenly snorted coldly, "Look at this boat's spices and ritual utensils, Gongzi Li is afraid that he has given you all the best things in his house!" I don't know what's so good about you, a woman from a pariah background! ”
"Speak politely!" Si'er stood up all at once.
"Sit down." I pulled Si'er's sleeve and said to Mi Cao, "Things are secondary, and the rarest thing is the heart, just like Brother Candle's deep affection for you, how can it be compared." ”
"Who wants his affection!" Mi Cao said with a cold face, and turned his head to look at the wasteland in the distance.
