Chapter 4 Noble Men Help Each Other
The sun was gradually sinking in the west, the lights of the streets and alleys of Wuzhou City were gradually lit up, a tall young man in coarse cloth clothes was patrolling outside the mansion, the young man had a square face, and two eyes under the sword eyebrows were blazing, he seemed to be waiting for someone, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of the guards.
Ah Lang listened to Lin Xiu's narration, the noble person in her mouth was in a hurry, it should be related to the disaster relief in Wuzhou, the guards can take out the official silver at will, his identity as the owner is definitely not ordinary, Ayu has been put into prison at this time, if it is two disaster relief silver, it is a felony to sit down, so I have to gamble and guard here.
Until it was dark, Ah Lang still didn't see anyone entering or leaving the mansion, this disaster involved a wide range of people, and all the people who could be adjusted should have gone out.
Lin Xiu couldn't bear to be anxious, ran out of the alley, insisted on waiting with Ah Lang, and the two sat down outside a shop, which was the only way to return to the government from outside the city, and no one would go out of the city at this time, so wait to see if anyone would come back.
The second watch's bangzi had been knocked, and the shopkeeper came out of the door panel, looked at the two poor people living on the street, sighed slightly, and went back to the house to bring two steamed buns and stuffed them into them.
Seeing that it is almost the third watch, fortunately, it is already summer, and I have eaten something, and I should be able to bear it for a night on the street, after this day, Lin Xiu didn't expect that he would be so bold, and he has only known Ah Lang for half a day, but he is also the only one to rely on at the moment, and he has a trust in him inexplicably.
Thinking of what would happen to Ayu if he couldn't find the noble person during the day, Lin Xiu couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you cold?" After a night of silence, Alang finally spoke.
"I'm afraid ......" Lin Xiu said with a crying voice: "I hurt Ayu, she ...... Actually, it's also a girl, we only met today, she saved me, she is so much braver than me, so it's useless to blame me......"
Ah Lang looked at Lin Xiu in surprise, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You didn't take care of your life, you are still staying here, aren't you also very brave, don't worry, I am here with you, I will definitely be able to rescue her." ”
Lin Xiu wiped her tears with her sleeve, "I haven't asked you yet, you are also fleeing?" But I don't look like it. ”
Ah Lang's eyes flashed, "What's not like it?" ”
"I can't say it, I just feel that you know a lot of things and have a lot of ideas for doing things, anyway, it's different from ordinary people!" Lin Xiu saw that Ah Lang bowed his head and was silent, and hurriedly changed the topic, "You...... Why are you helping me on the street today? ”
"Because...... I also have sisters......" Ah Lang's eyes were a little hazy, "I just hate that I can't protect them, and I thought you were so sad to see you crying on the street...... You are being bullied, you know how many people will take advantage of the fire to rob and want to beat the idea of a beautiful woman in distress! ”
Lin Xiu's face flushed, "You say...... I'm a pretty woman......"
"Isn't it?" Ah Lang blurted out, realizing that he had lost his words, and his face blushed slightly, and this subtle reaction was hidden in the night.
Shops are closing one after another, and the empty stone road looks particularly lonely in the sporadic lights.
A jumble of horses' hooves sounded, Lin Xiu stood up excitedly, Ah Lang raised his hand to grab her, and hid behind the shop sign.
Ah Lang looked around, only to see more than a dozen sergeants in armor riding fast horses in front of the road, followed by a young man in brocade, several guards crowded around, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone slabs echoed in the empty streets, rapid and powerful.
"You see if it's them?" Ah Lang pushed Lin Xiu out a little.
The horse team gradually approached, and Lin Xiu recognized the brocade-clothed boy in the middle at a glance, and Ayu climbed his horse during the day.
"It's him!" Lin Xiu's voice trembled slightly excitedly, she didn't care about being afraid, Ah Lang didn't hold it, Lin Xiu had already rushed to the stone road, and Ah Lang also rushed out.
"What people!" The sergeant in front of him stopped, and the boy in brocade and the guards also stopped one after another.
Several sergeants jumped off their horses, drew their swords and unsheathed them, and surrounded Lin Xiu and Ah Lang.
Qingshuang frowned on the horseback, and was very depressed in her heart, she was stopped twice in one day, her highness should not be angry, the affairs of Wuzhou are annoying enough, and the road is not smooth.
"Please help!" At this time, Lin Xiu shouted recklessly, if he let go of this opportunity, Ayu didn't know if he could save it.
The flood in Huachen is serious, Huainan King Li Lin was assigned by his father to inspect the disaster area, set off from the capital to Wuzhou in the morning, and visited the surrounding area non-stop, at this time, he is indeed a little tired, this is a very difficult time, someone is the street to stop the horse team of the king of the county, or can not be underestimated.
Li Lin said to Qingshuang lightly: "Let them bring people over." ”
"Yes!" Qingshuang agreed, for the sake of safety, he urged the horse to go forward and take a look first, stay in front of him, take a look at it by the faint light, and come up again in one breath, "Why are you still you!" ”
Lin Xiu saw Qingshuang, as if he had seen a big savior, "Uncle, it's you, I can find you!" ”
Qingshuang was not angry, "What are you looking for me to do?" Don't think you have enough money? He looked at it and said strangely, "The person next to you is not the kid during the day?" ”
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to speak, Ah Lang spoke coldly, "That kid went to prison during the day thanks to you!" ”
"Uh......" Qingshuang was a little weak-hearted, he also deliberately made things difficult for Ayu to give Ayuna ingots of official silver, so that he had no place to spend his money, but he didn't think that this kid was so unlucky, and he was arrested in half a day.
Lin Xiu didn't understand the twists and turns, and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, we met a tolerance on the road, and when he saw my brother's silver, he took him away directly, saying that my brother stole it, please go to testify, or ...... Otherwise, my brother will be in great sin, please! ”
Although Li Lin was separated from them by a distance, he still clearly heard what was going on, he signaled to the guards around him, the guards rushed forward, and whispered a few words to Qingshuang, Qingshuang reluctantly said to the sword-wielding sergeant: "Take them to see Your Highness!" ”
"Your Highness......"
Lin Xiu was startled, although she didn't know who this Highness was, but she also knew what His Highness's identity was, Ah Lang on the side lowered his eyes and had no expression on his face.
Qingshuang drove back to Li Lin's side, Li Lin glanced at him lightly, did not speak, Qingshuang lowered his head and felt a little worried in his heart, he also knew that his prank was a big one.
Lin Xiu's courage was swept away by the word "Your Highness", and two tremors came to Li Lin's horse, and knelt down with weak legs, Ah Lang just stood aside silently with his head down.
Li Lin's gaze swept over Ah Lang and stayed on Lin Xiu, his voice was still elegant and indifferent, "Get up, it's so late, you're waiting for us here?" ”
"Yes...... Yes, Temple...... Your Highness...... My brother rammed your horse during the day, but my brother really wanted to save me, he didn't mean to, so you can save him! ”
Lin Xiu peeked at His Highness opposite, the moon-white robe on his body had been changed into a purple brocade robe, although the light was dim, he still felt extravagant.
"How do you know you'll be waiting for us here?"
"This ......" Lin Xiu didn't know how to answer, and looked at Ah Lang with a flustered gaze.
"Your Highness, I just heard Ah Xiu say that your bearing, there should be no such characters in Wuzhou City, the big man who came at this time is thinking that it is related to disaster relief, so let's try to see if I can wait for you here, just hit a luck." Alang bowed his head and replied respectfully.
Li Lin smiled slightly and said to Lin Xiu: "The one next to me doesn't seem to have seen it during the day." ”
