Chapter 60: The Old Man Reunited
In a daze, he heard a few drumming sounds, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dawn outside the small window, this is Xia Duo also opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and Su Zhao was still sleeping sweetly, snoring constantly. As soon as the Xia family brothers and sisters got up, they heard the sound of unlocking from outside the door, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and it was the leader of the city yesterday.
The leader greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "How many of you slept well?" It's really sluggish, sluggish. ”
Su Zhao barely opened his eyes from his sleep when he heard this movement, got up slowly, and asked, "Can we go?" ”
"Hehe, of course, of course, but you have to go to the palace with me before you leave, and we will be summoned by Ajia Tusi." The leader said.
"What? I'm not going. Su Zhao blurted out.
Ajia Toast summoned? What's going on? The three of them did not reveal their identities, but how could the three fallen Central Plains people alarm Ajia Toast? Could it be Su Zhao, an old guy? Does he really know Aja Toast?
"I said uncle, are you still friends with Ajia Toast?" Xia Chuxin asked.
Su Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I was talking nonsense casually, I don't know any Ajia Toast, anyway, I don't want to go to the palace, let's not make trouble for others, let's leave quickly." ”
"That's not good, I came to invite a few people to the palace on the order of Ajia Tusi." The leader of the city guard couldn't help but say with a sad face when he saw him shirking in every possible way.
"Since the toast has summoned, then we might as well go up to the temple and see you." Xia Chuxin said, mainly trying to figure out the reason for this.
"If you don't go, you don't go, I won't go anywhere, I said eldest nephew and daughter, why are you going against me everywhere? We can't go, we can't go. Su Zhao almost pleaded with a crying face.
Xia Chuxin really has to believe him, but the choice now is not his own, where can you go if the officers and soldiers are blocked at the door? gave Xia Duo a look, and the two of them set up Su Zhao and walked out with the officers and soldiers. Along the way, Su Zhao struggled with his life, but his old arms and legs didn't exercise all year round, where could he twist these two martial arts practitioners? In this way, they were carried all the way to the king's palace.
The brothers and sisters of the Xia family who stood outside the palace of Jing Ancient City were dumbfounded. In this small city full of bamboo buildings, there will be a palace made of white jade, the city wall is all carved from the whole piece of white jade, entering the palace gate is a long white jade bridge, the piers are all different kinds of jade carvings, look at it, everywhere you see in this palace are white jade carved buildings, only a two-story building in the middle is a piece of red, go closer, only to find that this house is actually made of a piece of thin and transparent coral, the size of each piece is exactly the same, the thickness is generally the same, What kind of ingenious craftsmen can build such a palace?
Xia Chuxin touched here and there and hated himself for not having eight pairs of eyes, Xia Duo thought that he was a noble family of the Chu State who grew up in a vast place, but he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, Su Zhao was surprisingly calm, and just kept tugging at the Xia family brothers and sisters and said: "Can you two not act like a dirt bun, can you give us a little more face?" Isn't it just a white jade palace? ”
"Don't pretend, you're actually stunned, aren't you? If you're stunned, you'll be stunned, and I won't laugh at you if you say it. Xia Chuxin hurriedly replied to him.
Su Zhao pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, this king doesn't care about these things, we don't have anything." ”
"You're still the same, and you don't leave your Da Chu."
Suddenly there was such a sentence behind them, and the three of them turned around together, and saw a woman in her forties walking out of the side room, dressed in a bright red brocade dress and wearing a black crown with gold thread, and the whole person looked mighty and cold.
The soldiers on both sides bowed down and said, "Ajia Toast is blessed with longevity." ”
Xia Duo tugged at the stunned Xia Chuxin, and the two said in unison: "See Ajia Toast." ”
Ajia Toast waved his hand and said, "The old people are reunited, there is no need to be formal." ”
Reuniting old people? Xia Chuxin clearly heard this sentence, the three people here can first exclude themselves, and Xia Duo and her cannot be old friends, then, only Su Zhao. Turning his head to look at Su Zhao, the old man actually stood tall and even sucked his stomach in, but his whole face turned purple because he tried too hard, and it looked ridiculous.
"Ajia, don't come to harm?" Su Zhao pretended to say deeply.
Ajia Tusi walked into him with affectionate eyes, looked him up and down, and said, "Brother Zhao, you finally came to me?" ”
Xia Chuxin saw this Ajia Tusi full of affection and thought that this time there was a good backer, maybe a few people didn't have to continue to go south to find King Guangliang, maybe this Tusi would send a team of people to send them back to Dachu, wahahaha, great, bitter and sweet, otherwise Jitai is coming!
"Ahem," Su Zhao cleared his throat, took a few steps back, distanced himself from Ajia Tusi, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I strayed into your Jing Ancient City with these two children, but I didn't come to you on a special trip." ”
Ajia Tusi turned his head to look at the Xia family brothers and sisters, then turned back to look at Su Zhao, and said in disbelief: "You, got married?" Is this your child? ”
"This is my niece and niece, my sister's child." Su Zhao said.
"Oh." Ajia Toast looked obviously relaxed, and said, "Look, you're still waiting for me, aren't you?" I'll just say you'll be back. ”
Su Zhao pretended to be upright to the limit, and finally put down his stomach at the moment when he was about to lack oxygen, and his big belly came out in an instant. I saw Ajia Toast staring at Su Zhao with wide eyes and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you fat like this?" ”
"Hey, hey." Xia Chuxin couldn't hold back his laughter, and was glared back by Su Zhao. Su Zhao was a little embarrassed and said: "The old man who is over half a hundred years old, it is understandable to be fat." ”
Ajia Toast seemed to fall into memory for a moment, and muttered: "At that time, you were just a handsome young man, and more than thirty years have passed since you worked hard in a blink of an eye, and you have become fat, and I have also become old." ”
After some embarrassment, Ajia Toast's eyes turned and became fierce, turned around and walked back to the throne to sit down, and said, "I heard the guards say that you are in trouble so far?" ”
Xia Chuxin hurriedly said: "If you go back to Tusi, we originally followed our uncle out to play in the mountains and rivers, who knew that we met robbers halfway, and we originally planned to go south to find King Guangliang, but I didn't expect to come to Jinggu City, now it's okay, you and my uncle are old friends, you must be able to give us a ride?" ”
Ajia Tusi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chuxin, and said, "Let your uncle beg me, and I will send you back." ”
What? What is this woman's path?
Xia Chuxin hurriedly grabbed Su Zhao and said, "I said uncle, it's up to you whether we can go back to Da Chu, and ask your old acquaintance for personal favors?" ”
I thought that Su Zhao would happily agree, but I didn't expect this Su Zhao to look righteous and awe-inspiring, and said, "Let me beg you?" No way. ”
Xia Chuxin almost wanted to cover his mouth, and kept whispering beside him: "Don't be stupid, you don't know what our situation is now, if you don't have the help of this toast, you won't be able to survive even three days and starve to death." ”
Su Zhao raised his eyebrows sideways, and there was no room for negotiation. Xia Duo saw that Xia Chuchu couldn't attack for a long time, so he paced to the two of them and said, "King Qinghe, I think this Tusi is a person who counts, you beg her, the most important thing now is to return to Dachu quickly." ”
Su Zhao was still stubborn, and when he saw the two of them striking left and right, he simply let out his words: "Do you want me to beg her?" There are no doors. I, Su Zhao, would rather beg along the street to raise money than beg for money. ”
"Okay, then you can leave the palace now, I want to see how you can return to your Dachu with your own skills." Aja Toast said.
"Hmph, thirty years ago, I was able to return to Da Chu from you, and I can do it now." Su Zhao said angrily. After saying that, he beckoned the Xia family brothers and sisters: "Go." ”
The brothers and sisters of the Xia family looked at a loss, what kind of grudge do these two people have? Xia Chuxin turned his head to Ajia Toast with a smile and said, "Lord Toast, don't be angry, my uncle is such a stubborn temper, I will definitely persuade him well, so that he can come to you convincingly." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you, my words will always be valid, as long as he Su Zhao comes to beg me, I will send you back to Dachu." Aja Toast said.
After eating the reassuring pill given by Ajia Toast, Xia Chuxin hurriedly caught up with Su Zhao and Xia Duo, who had already walked out of the palace.
"My uncle, what are you doing? It's just a word, we can go home comfortably, why are you angry with her? Xia Chuxin was completely puzzled.
Su Zhao still walked forward angrily, and said as he walked: "Do you two have no backbone and no dignity?" Why did the king ask her? Thirty years ago, this king was able to walk back to Dachu, why can't he do it this time? Do you want this king to beg her? Ha, it's a joke. ”
"What happened 30 years ago? What's wrong with this Ajia toast? Xia Chuxin asked.
Su Zhao snorted and said, "What are the children asking about, let you go, just leave quickly." ”
"Hey, but where are we going? Is it really begging on the street? "Xia Chuxin is completely desperate, what kind of handsome is he not taking advantage of the opportunity?
This sentence made Su Zhao point, suddenly paused, turned around and roared: "Begging, begging, begging, selling art, in short, you can't beg her." ”
The brothers and sisters of the Xia family were stunned by him, like flying squirrels being electrocuted, Mu Mu nodded and said, "Okay, good, don't ask her, don't ask her." ”
In this way, Su Zhao continued to move forward, and after a while, the three of them left the palace. Reluctantly looked back at the white jade palace step by step, Xia Chuxin was really defeated by this old man, what are you pretending to be cool to intercede with such a beautiful girl? Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to come back and beg someone!
