Chapter 44 Extraneous Affairs I
Xiyan ran back from outside angrily, and began to complain as soon as he entered the yard.
"Who messed with you? Makes you angry like this? β
Wanjun put the wrung out clothes on a wooden pole to dry, and saw that Xi Yan's facial features were so angry that they were screwed together, which really amused him.
Wanjun wiped the water from her hands, walked over and leaned on Xiyan's shoulder: "Little boy, why are you so unhappy?" Can you tell the little one and let the little one solve your sorrows for you? β
Xiyan was amused by Wanjun all of a sudden, took Wanjun's hand and said, "You can still laugh?" Do you know that you killed Concubine Zhuang and caused a storm in the city. β
"What's my business?"
Wanjun looked indifferent.
"Your heart is really big, the whole world thinks that you killed Concubine Zhuang, aren't you in a hurry?"
"Don't worry, they can say whatever they like, I, Du Wanjun, am too lazy to explain, and I don't want to explain, what kind of person am I, I decide for myself, what's the matter with them?"
Wanjun saw that Xiyan's expression was too cute, so she smiled and said: "As long as we do our best and don't care what others say, you can rest assured, I will be fine." β
Xiyan turned to look at Wanjun, and the grievances and arrogance on his face were written on his face.
"You're still cute from the side, but how can you be handsome from the front?"
Xi Yan showed a sweet and warm smile and said, "You have to protect yourself, you have also seen that danger exists everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may never recover." β
Wanjun pinched Xiyan's face and said, "I know, I know that you are good to me." β
"How are you and Yique? Why haven't you seen him come to you lately? β
Xiyan sighed, turned around and walked to the steps and sat down: "Since he became this brocade guard, he has been so busy every day that he doesn't even have time, and when we meet, we talk about things related to brocade guards." β
"Isn't that good? Both of them are busy, and they don't have to get tired of being together all day long and resentful of each other. β
Wanjun came over and knelt in front of Xiyan, and said with a smile: "You, you just don't know how to be blessed in the blessing, and you don't want to do it!" β
Xiyan grabbed Wanjun's hand, frowned and said, "I don't want him to do anything, I just want to be the most ordinary person with him, live an ordinary life, just watch the sunrise and sunset together." You know, life is not what I want right now. β
Wanjun sat down and leaned on Xi Yan's arms: "Yes, but there are too many people in the world who can't help themselves, and there are too many helplessness, what we can do is to live a good life." β
"Wanjun, do you think Yique and I can go a long way?"
Xiyan stroked Wanjun's hair, gently like a kind old mother.
"Why do you ask?"
"I don't know, I've always had such thoughts in my heart lately, and I don't know what's wrong, as if my heart has been blocked by something."
Wanjun stretched out her hand and touched Xiyan's face: "You're just too tired, just get a good night's sleep, don't think about it so much, you and Yique will last forever!" β
"I hope so!"
"Sunset ......"
"Huh?"
"I'm going out in two days."
"Where are you going? Take me with you! β
"Go, Guanwai."
"Outside the gates?"
"Yes, go to the customs to investigate the case."
"How long has it been? How do you go so far? β
"yes!"
"Can you take me with you?"
"Xiyan, you can't go, I'm here to investigate the case, not to play."
"Grandpa Wei asked you to go, right?"
"Yes."
Wanjun closed her eyes and lay quietly in Xiyan's arms.
"Wanjun, can you not go? It's dangerous there. β
"Xiyan, don't worry, who am I? It's a big life! β
......
The next morning, Wanjun took it to her heart and led a big horse to the outside of the gate.
He stepped on the stirrups, and the moment he got on the horse, he felt that he was one step closer to Spring and Autumn.
Wanjun rode over the mountains, waded through the rapids, met the fierce beasts in the forest, and also saw the eagle in the sky. Finally, after going through the wind and rain, he arrived in Liaoyang.
He walked into a shop called Liaoyang Inn, and as soon as he entered, Xiao'er came to greet him.
"Guest officer, please come inside!"
Wanjun followed and walked in and sat on the stool.
Xiao Er gave him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Is Childe a big tip or a hotel?" β
"Open me a room and cook two specials."
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Soon the food was served, and as soon as Wanjun picked up the chopsticks, she heard someone talking about something on the table behind her.
"I'm afraid the world is going to change!"
"Yes, we don't have the surname of the emperor outside the customs, if we can't enter the customs, then the mainland is afraid to be lost."
"You two eat, don't be heard."
"What are you afraid of, this day is far away from the emperor, even if the emperor Lao'er comes here, Lao Tzu is not afraid of him. What kind of emperor is he, the people are starving to death, what is he doing? β
"Don't say it, there's really no excuse to speak for the emperor, the common people are suffering like this, he doesn't care all day long, he is drunk and obsessed."
"Come, come, drink, and after drinking this wine, we will go back to the barracks."
Barrack? They are people in the military. Wanjun sat on the side and listened to their conversation, thinking that this opportunity had come.
He lifted the flask and walked over and said with a smile: "Three big brothers, enjoy your face and have a drink?" β
A fat man with stubble on his face stammered, "You, who are you?" β
"The three eldest brothers are rude, my name is Du Ruoqiang, and I came here to find my brother."
"It's about Lao Tzu!"
The three of them continued to drink.
"Come, I'll fill you with wine, and this meal will be mine."
As soon as the three of them heard that Wanjun was going to have a treat, they looked at each other a few times, and then smiled and said, "Hahahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" β
Wanjun poured them full of wine, picked up the wine glass and said, "I'll salute one of the three eldest brothers first." β
"Three big brothers, I want to ask you about something."
"What's the matter?"
"A few days ago, my brother and I were separated here, and we have not been heard from again, and when I got better, I began to search for his whereabouts."
Wanjun said and took out the portrait of Chunqiu from his arms, he smoothed it out and put it in front of the three of them and said, "This is my brother, I wonder if the three eldest brothers have seen it?" β
"Why is this person so familiar?"
"Big brother, have we seen this person anywhere?"
The eldest brother touched his chin and stammered, "Yes, yes, yes, yesβlike somewhere I've seen it." β
"Where? Big brother, he and Xia Dong seem to look a little similar? β
The eldest brother and his two younger brothers looked at the portrait for a long time, only to see the eldest brother nodding thoughtfully.
"What's your brother's name?"
"My brother's name is Zuo Chunqiu!"
Wanjun hurried over and bent down to greet him with a smile.
"LeftβSpring and Autumn?"
"I haven't heard of it, I don't know it!"
No, the expressions they had just now were obviously aware of Chunqiu? Why don't you know each other all of a sudden?
"Three big brothers, think about it again, he is very recognizable?"
They stood up and picked up the knife on the table: "Are you bothered?" β
"Me, me?"
Wanjun didn't want to ask any further, because they didn't seem to want to tell him.
......
Wanjun hadn't rested well in the past few days, so she went back to her room early to rest. But he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, and his head was about to explode, but he couldn't speak.
He got up and put on his clothes, wanting to go downstairs and go outside.
The number of guests in the inn gradually increased, and the noise filled Wanjun's head, and he only felt that his brain was swollen and hot, so he quickly left here.
The sunset in Liaoyang disappeared step by step on the bluestone-paved streets, as if telling the travelers who came in a hurry to stop, rest for the night, and continue to rush tomorrow.
On the bluestone street, groups of children were playing together, and the men who came out to beg for wine also started the day's romance. The red sky of Xishan is not only the red eyes of the sunset, but also the melancholy heart of Wanjun.
Liaoyang, where to find Spring and Autumn?
He paused step by step, worried step by step, and the afterglow of the sunset on the bluestone slab was stepped on by him to the end, leaving only the ethereal lights of the restaurant to continue the day's liveliness.
Suddenly, there was a sound of neat footsteps behind him. He finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time, and the tiredness on his face dissipated at this moment. He thought that the footsteps were made by the Jinyi Guard, but when he looked back, there were any Jinyi Guards, all of them were neatly dressed troops.
He still followed with a hint of luck, the army was very neat, and in the moonlight, everyone's faces were glowing with a faint blue light.
Wanjun looked at every face and every pair of eyes, but he didn't find his left brother. He was a little frustrated, a little scared. Why, why hasn't there been any news of him?
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice reach his ears.
"Wait for me, you wait for me!"
Wanjun ran to the center of the street like crazy, and he stood in the center of the street and looked around, but saw nothing but the bustling pedestrians.
He sat on the ground and began to cry, and the heavens were so merciless, always playing tricks on him. Trick it, he is used to it, if he can leave Liaoyang alive, he will definitely go back with Spring and Autumn.
"Guest officer, it's cold on the ground, get up, you've drunk too much!"
Xiao Er came over to help Wanjun, Wanjun was in a daze, and looked up to see Chunqiu standing beside him. He hugged Xiao Er: "Chunqiu, I miss you so much, Chunqiu, where have you been?" β
"Guest officer? Sir! We went back and it was cold outside. β
"Chunqiu, do you know how hard I am looking for you?"
"I know, I know, that's why I'm here!"
Xiao Er helped Wanjun into the room and carried him to the bed. Covered him with a quilt, closed the door and went out.
"Spring and Autumn, don't go, Spring and Autumn, don't go......"
Wanjun's tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Little Er, you take good care of that son."
"Okay, Master Jun!"
"Here, it's your reward, don't tell me he's been here when he wakes up."
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry!" β
The night is vast, and the lonely moon is alone.
The back of the military master disappeared into the night, this back seems to have been seen somewhere, so familiar that except for the lonely moon in the sky, only he knows whose back it is.
