Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Adventure of Lookout City
The four of them continued to ride their horses.
The sun was slightly dazzling overhead, and I don't know how long I walked before I saw a town appear in front of me.
"Ahead of me should be Lookout City. After passing the Lookout City, we will go out of Xiguan. Mo Shaozhi looked out in front.
"What are the famous specialties in Lookout City? Let's stop by and try it. "Gao Lan rode his horse to catch up.
The little civet cat said: "I know this, when I was a child, I often heard my father-in-law say that there is a lookout in the lookout city, on which you can overlook the distance, the sunset clouds are full of red, but it is beautiful, and their mutton noodles and kick wine, as well as pod cakes are the most famous." β
"Yes, I've heard it a long time ago, and now I can see the sunset clouds, and I'm looking forward to it." Mo Shaozhi smiled slightly.
"Listen to what you say, I can't wait to go to the lookout city." Gao Lan was full of anticipation.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a little strange, generally hearing that there was wine, there must be someone who would be the first to sit still, and now they haven't heard his response for a long time, so they all looked back.
But I saw Bai Qingli behind, sitting on horseback, and marching weakly.
"White light, there's wine in front." The little tanuki yelled at him.
"Ahh Profound! Bai's light reaction was unexpected, Gao Lan took the reins of the horse, stopped and waited for him to come up and asked, "Brother Bai, are you tired?" β
When Bai Qingqing heard this, he immediately raised his head and pretended to be serious: "It's nothing," and then his eyes dimmed again, "Brother Mo, there is Lookout City in front...... We, don't we have any other way to go to the Desert Phoenix Feather Palace? β
The three ......of them looked at each other.
After a while, Mo Shaozhi seemed to understand, and smiled slightly: "What? Brother Bai also has an enemy in this lookout city? β
Bai Qingli frowned slightly, his face embarrassed.
Mo Shaozhi continued: "Look at you like this, I'm afraid it's a love and hatred." β
After he finished speaking, the little civet cat laughed: "Bai Qingqing, it's true, which little girl's heart have you broken again." β
Gao Lan couldn't help laughing.
But seeing that Bai Qingqing was becoming more and more embarrassed, he said cowardly: "No...... Which little girl ......?"
"Ahh It's not a little girl, is it ......" The little tanuki couldn't help the banter on his face, "Which lady?" β
Bai Qingqing immediately corrected: "Of course not!" β
"What's that, you say, we can help you with advice if you say it." Gao Lan said with concern.
"Yesβ" Before Bai Qingqing finished speaking, he saw many people suddenly flash in front of him.
"Brother, it's really you!" From the crowd in front, a man riding a tall white horse slowly appeared, the man's skin was as white as snow, his cheeks were pink as peach blossoms, and he was dressed in an eye-catching red robe, which fluttered slowly with the breeze. In his hand he held a silver sword with a long tassel of the same color as his clothes.
Infinite tenderness said to Bai Qingqing: "I knew you would come back." β
Bai Qingqing had a bleak wry smile on his face.
Mo Shaozhi saw that Bai Qingqing didn't want to make more introductions, so he clasped his hands into fists: "What is this son's name?" β
"You are all friends of my brother, this journey is dusty, first follow me into the city to settle down, and then I will introduce myself." After speaking, he turned the horse's head, and the people next to him lined up in turn, and several people followed him into the city, along the way, Bai Qingqing didn't say a word, just frowned.
The little civet cat quietly approached Gao Lan's side: "This doesn't look like an enemy, it seems to be an acquaintance, the acquaintance is good, you can eat and live again." β
Gao Lan smiled knowingly.
Soon several people crossed a street and came to the door of a mansion and dismounted.
Gao Lan looked at this magnificent mansion and thought: This is not an ordinary big family.
Mo Shaozhi got off the horse and looked up at the plaque at the door, three big golden characters, and he was in sight: "Zhongqing Mansion." Suddenly realized, turned his head to the red-clothed young man with a solemn face, and then turned to Bai Qingqing, confirming his inner thoughts to him.
Bai Qingqing also understood, and nodded helplessly.
Gao Lan, the little civet cat was confused, but seeing that there was a strict hierarchy here, it was not easy to talk much, so he had to follow into the house in his heart.
A few people entered an extremely elegant bamboo pavilion and sat down, the bamboo pavilion was surrounded by water on three sides, the waiter shook the hanging bamboo curtains, and the breeze on the lake was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, slowly attacking.
Mo Shaozhi rubbed his hands: "I just saw the plaque at the door, Gongzi Mo is not a descendant of the Zhong family." β
The young man in red had a light face: "My grandfather is Zhong Shihong, I am the second son of the Zhong family, Zhong Lian." β
Mo Shaozhi hurriedly leaned over: "It turns out that the son is the lookout city, Zhong Lingyuxiu, the second son, under Mo Shaozhi, disrespectful and disrespectful." β
Gao Lan thought to himself: It's rare to see Mo Shaozhi doing such a big gift, what kind of big man is this young man.
The little civet cat leaned over and smacked his tongue and said, "It turned out to be him, he is the famous Zhong Ling on the list of sons of the rivers and lakes." I didn't expect to be so young. β
Gao Lan glanced at Bai Qingqing, who was cowering aside: "What's wrong with that guy?" Seeing this Zhong Er Gongzi, his soul is gone...... Isn't it better to be ashamed? Low self-esteem like this? β
But I heard Zhong Ling say unhurriedly: "When I said that I saw Gongzi from afar, I felt that the light was dazzling and his bearing was extraordinary, it turned out to be Doctor Mo, and the look of Gongzi Mo was indeed worthy of his reputation when I saw it today." β
During their greetings, Gao Lan was suddenly curious, so he whispered to the little civet cat: "You just said that the son is on the list, is Mo Shaozhi also on the list?" β
After hearing this, Mo Shaozhi suddenly looked over here, as if the corners of his mouth faintly revealed a hint of pride.
The little civet cat replied: "Of course, our Doctor Mo is estimated to be in the top three." β
After hearing this, Gao Lan pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked, "What about Bai Qingli?" β
But the person next to him immediately coughed dryly and muttered in a low voice: "I don't care about these exaggerated reputations." β
"My brother's uninhibited and casual nature is beyond my reach." Suddenly, Zhong Ling changed her tune, her tone seemed to be much softer, and she looked this way.
Bai Qingqing immediately turned his head uncomfortably and turned to the lake.
Seeing this, Mo Shaozhi hurriedly said: "It seems that Zhong Gongzi and Brother Bai are old acquaintances, so I won't introduce them much, we also have two friends, this is Gao Lan Gao Gongzi, and this is the little civet cat." β
Zhong Ling's gaze didn't seem to leave the body that turned his head to look at the Lakers, and he heard two names that were not loud, but he bowed politely.
He turned to his subordinates and ordered: "The wine and food will come up immediately, and the flowers specially prepared by Young Master Ben will be served together." β
Bai Qingqing's body shook, but he didn't turn around.
"Ai! Flowers! The little civet cat patted the back of the person next to him, "Bai Qingqing, that's not your favorite, why are you so calm?" β
Then he casually attached his hand to his back, and Zhong Ling's eyes seemed to be instantly clouded with gloom, and displeasure immediately surfaced on his face.
Mo Shaozhi looked a little confused: since he came to this lookout city, there was something wrong with Bai Qingqing, and after meeting Zhong Ergongzi, it became more and more strange, what happened to the two of them......
