Chapter 460: Assassins
Red Bean didn't feel anything wrong, but felt that it should be taken for granted.
Uncle takes care of Miss, it's a matter of course!
Probably because of Zhang Jie's promise, Hongdou was also a lot more relaxed, watching the carriage surrounded by elite soldiers walking slowly, covering his face and crying and laughing, mixed with joy and sorrow.
I can't go because I'm crying or being sad, and my uncle is still happy or laughing.
It wasn't until the group gradually drifted away and turned into a black spot that she withdrew her gaze, and then sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, I have enough things, otherwise I really don't feel at ease." ”
"What's upset?" Fang Xiuting, who finally broke free of the red beans, snorted coldly, "Your uncle is so happy that he agreed to be self-conscious, how can he not take care of her?" It's just a pity for Li Sangongzi. ”
When it comes to the last sentence, the tone also becomes gloomy. I think that Li Sangongzi was a woman's spring boudoir dream person in Jinling City back then, but now it's good, and he actually caught up with the original lady who was more evil than a broom star. Let's talk about the broom star evil gate, at least it's good for her own people, and as long as she doesn't mess with her, she's very good at talking. But that Miss Yuan is good, she is more broom than a broom star, and the third son of Li can't even find anyone now, it's really strange and pitiful.
Hongdou glanced at her: "You understand it quite well!" ”
Fang Xiuting snorted: "Your uncle's mind can be seen by everyone. ”
Hongdou glanced at her, suddenly woke up, and solemnly scolded her: "That's my young lady's uncle, you don't come forward!" ”
Fang Xiuting, who said this, rolled her eyes: "How can your aunt see your young lady when he sees others?" "Besides, the appearance of the broom star is really good, what does she take to move forward.
Hongdou snorted twice, "It's about the same" before backhanding the door of the house.
Miss is not there, and there is no one in this family who wants to go out except for Tang Zhongyuan, who has to go to the Yamen of Dali Temple every day. As for Tang Zhongyuan, he will climb the wall himself anyway, and he will not leave the door.
Miss and Pei Qingqing always felt that something was missing at home.
……
On the official road outside the city, the convoy was moving slowly, Pei Qingqing was lying on the window of the car and looking at the snowflakes that were fluttering excitedly: "When can we get to Shanxi Road?" ”
This excited look provoked Bai Zhijun, who was not far away, to look back, and then couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
What a kid who has been holding back for a long time and finally going out!
Qiao Ran rubbed her head with a smile and said, "I'm just out of Chang'an now, and I can't go fast." ”
"Last time I ran out by myself," talking about his experience of running away from home last time, Pei Qingqing did not blush, and said proudly, "I ran out secretly hidden in the carriage that pulled the goods, and I was almost caught by my father!" ”
Speaking of her shocking but eccentric father, Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and she asked casually, "Won't your father let you?" ”
Pei Qingqing shook her head, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled proudly: "I stole his private money." ”
It turned out that she stole the money and ran out, Qiao Ran recalled her weird-tempered father, only to think that this was like what his father did.
However, although she didn't forget to bring money, Pei Qingqing, who left Chang'an for the first time, was a little too excited, seeing a lot of delicious food that she hadn't seen, eating and drinking all the way, and when she arrived in Yuhang, the money was almost spent, but fortunately, Zhang Xie was in Yuhang, so she was not left in the restaurant to wash the dishes.
probably thought of the situation when she saw Pei Qingqing for the first time, and Qiao Ran also had a little more smile on her face.
"It's a little cold." Zhang Jie, who was looking into the carriage outside the carriage, made a grimace, Pei Qingqing pulled down the curtain of the carriage and didn't let him look at Qiao Ran, then sat back on the chair and began to read the book and start the time.
The journey is not as boring as you imagined, but it is far from being as interesting as you think.
After traveling for a few days, Pei Qingqing began to drag her cheeks and look at the scenery outside the car in a daze.
"When will this snow stop?" She asked.
Qiao Ran looked at the snowflakes outside the window and shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"Then can I go horseback riding and let Zhang Xie accompany you in the carriage?" The girl asked again.
Zhang Jie, who could always control the horses and walked beside them without hurrying, glanced at their carriage and said, "Your legs are too short to reach the pedals." ”
Pei Qingqing, who was forced to give up because of her short legs, had a face as white as earth, and snorted coldly: "I will grow taller in the future." "It's just a little bit short now.
Zhang Xie smiled and didn't care, just looked at Qiao Ran in the carriage through the window, and said softly: "How is it?" Need a break? ”
Qiao Ran is not a pampered girl, but in the team composed of soldiers in this line, as the only two women, the other one is Pei Qingqing, who has a physique that is different from ordinary people. As the "thinnest" one, Qiao Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm okay." ”
It's really okay, when she set off from Jinling to Chang'an before, she found that this body did not resist traveling far, and she didn't feel how the waterway shook, but she was just a little bored. Of course, this is a good thing for everyone, after all, carrying a delicate woman forward can delay a lot of things.
"It's been two days," Bai Zhijun, who was at the front, heard their words but turned around and said, "There is a post station at the intersection of the road ahead, I'll wait there to have a hot meal and rest for one night before leaving!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers, and although the soldiers worked hard, they also needed to rest. With these words, everyone seemed to be tired and disappeared, and soon walked to the post station.
As early as when he saw so many accompanying soldiers, the postman at the post station knew that it was not easy for people to come, and when they revealed their identities, they were even more surprised, and they were busy leading people inside.
"There are a few of them who arrived at the post station yesterday and haven't left yet," the postman said as he walked, "but I learned that the soldiers had worked hard all the way, so I still gave up the rooms that I originally wanted, and I have arranged for someone to clean them." ”
Bai Zhijun nodded, looked back at Qiao Ran, who was holding Pei Qingqing, and asked, "Master Qiao, what do you think?" ”
The march was simple all the way, but the women's bodies were different from the men's, so they always had to be more exquisite.
Qiao Ran nodded, thanked him, and said, "I'm tired." ”
This post station is not small, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an City and Jinling City, but it is also very clean, and more importantly, rest, everyone who travels all the way needs to rest.
Pei Qingqing was naturally arranged to be with Qiao Ran, and she also intended to take care of them, and the room arranged for them was very spacious.
The kitchen of the post station burned hot soup and hot rice and sent it over, and Pei Qingqing, who had eaten dry food for several days, ate very happily and even called it delicious.
After eating, the two walked around the room, preparing the hot water sent by the postman to wash up.
At this moment, Zhang Xie came over.
"How?" He asked, walking in from outside the door.
"Good, eat well, drink well." Pei Qingqing slapped the futon and said several good words in a row, and then said, "I hope I can sleep well." ”
Zhang Xie shook his head with a smile, and put a bag of dried fruits and a bag of halva in his hand on the table.
Pei Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped out of bed and ran over to this side, hugged the halva and put it in her arms, and then muttered: "Where did I buy it, why didn't I see it?" ”
"It's the same as the pedestrians who lived here before," Zhang Xie said, handing the bag of dried fruits to Qiao Ran, "You like it." ”
Qiao Ran snorted, took it with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Jie: "Did you go and talk to the few pedestrians who lived in first?" ”
Zhang Xie nodded: "There are three groups of people, and the way to exchange food with us is an ordinary purchase vendor, nothing special." They passed through here only by way, and they were supposed to leave today, but the child got hot and delayed. ”
"What about the remaining two?" Qiao Ran asked.
Zhang Xie smiled and said, "The remaining two groups have never shown up, but I heard that one group is a tea merchant and the other group is a dart board." ”
"Darts!" Qiao Ran was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Then it's still a practicing family!" ”
Zhang Xie smiled and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door, and Bai Zhijun's voice came from outside the door: "Master Qiao, Zhang Tianshi." ”
With the previous experience of Zhang Xie coming to the door with food, Pei Qingqing's eyes widened, and when he ran over to open the door, he wanted to see what delicious food this General Bai brought.
But she was disappointed, Bai Zhijun didn't come to the door with food, he was rolling a map in his hand.
"I just saw Zhang Tianshi talking to the passers-by who had moved in before, and I thought you would come to Lord Qiao," he explained, walked over, sat down, and then said, "How is it?" ”
How is it? Zhang Xie smiled: "There is no problem with one group, and there are two groups that have not seen anyone." ”
"Be careful, indeed." Bai Zhijun said and unfolded the map on the table, pointed to the position they were where they were now, and said, "General Gu, they were attacked three times on the way, and the first time was at this post station. ”
This is something that Qiao Ran didn't know before. She was a little surprised, paused, and suddenly smiled: "No wonder you want to rest here." ”
In fact, the trouble began before entering Shanxi Road, and since it was to solve this trouble, it was natural that it could not pass through the door without entering.
"General Gu, they were attacked three times, but they still arrived at Shanxi Road," Bai Zhijun paused, and said, "I just didn't expect that in the end, it was still lost on Shanxi Road." ”
The last sentence seems to be emotional.
This line of work has not been peaceful from the beginning.
"So," Bai Zhijun looked at the spread out map and looked up at the person in front of him, "I'll ask you how you plan to go next." ”
……
No matter what you do next, you still have to get a good night's rest.
Qiao Ran helped Pei Qingqing get dressed, and confiscated the halva in her pocket, so that people climbed into bed.
When night fell, the lights in the roadside post house were panicked, and only the postman on duty at night was lying on the table in the middle of the lobby and dozing off little by little.
Of course, the post station could not accommodate 5,000 elite soldiers, and most of the soldiers set up camp tents to rest outside the post station.
Although it was cold, the soldiers slept comfortably because of the addition of bedding and braziers, and the environment was much better than the real battlefield.
The large flag carried in front of the post house was blown into a ball by the night wind, and a black shadow flashed on the flag, and a stone passed through an unrepaired window into the hall, and then accurately extinguished the only remaining candle in the post house.
The whole station was plunged into darkness.
Pei Qingqing, who was sleeping soundly, woke up inexplicably, and then opened his eyes, and unexpectedly saw a darkness that could not be seen without his fingers.
It is not surprising that the lights are out, and there is no moonlight tonight, and the room is dark.
The reason why she woke up suddenly was because something was wrong, and it was not a warm bedding under her, but a ...... Ground.
Pei Qingqing, who groped to the ground, was a little surprised, and couldn't help but wonder if he had been sleeping worse and worse recently, so that he fell asleep and rolled out of bed.
He stretched out his hand and tried to get up, but he was immediately held down by the person next to him, and then pressed a finger against his lips, which was a booing action.
Pei Qingqing blinked, smelling the familiar smell of the person next to her, and suddenly: Miss Qiao rolled down with her.
She didn't sleep well, but Miss Qiao's sleep was excellent, she was safe and sound all night, and she didn't kick the quilt, so why did she roll down with her today.
A slight knock on the door sounded at this moment, and the tips of Pei Qingqing's ears moved, and she finally realized something.
She cautiously raised her hand and touched it, and then, unexpectedly, touched a hard bed board.
It turned out that the two of them were now under the bed.
Someone walked in through the door, and even though the footsteps were very quiet, she could hear them.
Such heavy footsteps are really not her Pei Qingqing's boasting: she thinks she can fight ten at a time.
Invisible in the dark, the ear became extraordinarily sensitive, and several people came in, holding weapons in their hands, and the inadvertent sound of the clasp colliding seemed to be a saber with a ring.
She couldn't help but touch her nose: So someone wanted to run over in the middle of the night to stab her and Miss Qiao? This assassin is too bad!
And now, the assassin who is not very good has slowly rubbed to the side of the bed, and with a knife slashing, the bed board on top shook suddenly, and a few slight wood cracking sounds came into his ears.
Pei Qingqing was frightened into a cold sweat: Fortunately, this assassin is not very good, he is more powerful, and this bed board will really be cut in two with a knife, and it will definitely affect her and Miss Qiao who are hiding under the bed at that time.
That's it, I really can't stand it. She rolled up her sleeves and patted Miss Qiao beside her, ready to switch places with her to clean up the group of assassins, but she didn't expect that at this moment, the room suddenly lit up.
This made Pei Qingqing, who was originally familiar with the darkness, couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes, and then unexpectedly saw Miss Qiao holding her beside her.
"The dart box is empty." Zhang Jie's voice sounded, Pei Qingqing and Qiao Ran looked under the bed, although it was a little difficult to look here, but it was better than nothing!
He was not alone in the room, and General Bai came out in response.
"You're not walking darts, you're stabbing people!" The assassin who slashed a pillow and knew that the plan was wrong could not understand when he saw the two people in front of him, so he immediately threw two iron eggs, exploded the billowing smoke, and ran out.
"This assassin is too bad." After a rush of assassination failed, Pei Qingqing and Qiao Ran crawled out from under the bed, waving their hands to disperse the smoke in front of them, Zhang Xie and Bai Zhijun were no longer in the house, she turned her head and asked Qiao Ran, "Did they chase them?" ”
"Hmm." The girl next to her snorted, her eyes were different, "People haven't gone far, let's go out and have a look." ”
