Chapter Eighty-Five: Hurry
After a night of tossing, the three of them went to the new post station and slept for most of the day, and when it was almost noon, the three of them got up one after another, Hongling and Chen Jinye took the lead downstairs, and not long after sitting down, Bai Ju also came down from the stairs.
"The small ones see Childe and Miss"
Chen Jinye nodded slightly, motioned for Bai Ju to sit down with him, and then asked, "How long will it take until the next post station?" ”。
"About half a day"
"Then we've had lunch, let's leave early."
"Obedience"
After setting the itinerary, Bai Ju and Chen Jinye started lunch slowly, Hong Ling quietly listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what to call Brother Mafu?" ”。
Bai Ju was stunned for a moment and then turned his eyes to Chen Jinye, Chen Jinye glanced at him and then looked at Hongling slightly, "What are you asking for?" ”。
Hong Ling didn't expect such a small question to make these two people have such a big reaction, so she slowly bit her lower lip, her eyes shook back and forth between Chen Jinye and Bai Ju a few times, and said: "I just want to know how to call it convenient, if I ask too much, forget it, when I don't ask", after that, Hong Ling reached out and took a large piece of potato back and pulled the rice into her mouth.
Chen Jinye retracted his eyes and glanced at Bai Ju, and then whispered lightly: "Just call him Lao Bai."
Old white? Hong Ling couldn't help frowning when she heard this, although most of the people in the groom industry are indeed weathered by the vicissitudes of life, but although the 'old white' in front of her has experienced countless times of sun and rain, he still looks like a handsome young man, and it can be seen that he is not more young than Chen Jinye, Chen Jinye is embarrassed to call him 'old white', isn't he afraid that this young man is too handsome and steals the limelight of his beautiful man?
Hong Ling chewed the food and looked back and forth at Bai Ju in front of her with interest, and even Chen Jinye on the side couldn't help but turn a little cold with that burning gaze, but before Bai Ju and Chen Jinye could react, Hong Ling hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, and said provocatively: "Xiaobai, how about I call you Xiaobai in the future?" ”。
Chen Jinye and Bai Ju, who were quoted by Hongling, who spoke wildly, frowned together, Bai Ju didn't have any good thoughts about this princess in his heart, thinking that this woman was too outspoken, and there was a bit of flirtation between these words, didn't she take the prince in her eyes, or she was such a non-observant of women's morals, how could such a woman be worthy of the name of 'princess'.
"Miss, you can call me Bai Ju in the future", after a long period of silence, Bai Ju finally couldn't help it.
"White House? That's a good name."
Knowing Bai Ju's real name, Hong Ling smiled with a smile, staring at Bai Ju with a smile that went straight to the bottom of her eyes, Bai Ju was slightly stunned, Chen Jinye slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks and glanced at Hong Ling, and said very indifferently: "It seems that you are full, go with me to collect your bags, don't disturb him to eat anymore", after that, he forcibly pulled Hong Ling to get up and go upstairs.
Bai Ju tightened his brows, and clenched his fists very angrily, this woman turned out to be the princess's concubine, if it weren't for the fact that the prince had to take her to the west now, he would have to risk his life to admonish her, and ask the prince to kill her personally.
In the middle of the night, Chen Jinye took Hong Ling into Bai Ju's carriage and sat down, Bai Ju slowly drove the carriage towards the southwest fork in the road, as soon as he got into the carriage, Chen Jinye entered the eye-closing stationary mode, Hong Ling stared at Chen Jinye for a long time, and then lifted the curtain in front of him and asked, "Bai Ju, are you bored?" ”。
Bai Ju, who was originally driving the carriage well, was startled by Hong Ling, who appeared coldly, and almost slapped his palm, "Princess Qiyu, I don't know what 'boring' means?" ”。
Hongling's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't know what it meant to be bored, so there was no talk, thinking that Hongling was going to go out, at this time Chen Jinye didn't stop it, only squinted a little and watched Hongling move out a little bit, after less than two days, Chen Jinye found out, she couldn't bear the loneliness at all, and she was a little annoyed when she saw that she had been squinting in the carriage for a long time.
However, this Bai Ju is notoriously dislike to talk, when he first came to the palace to do things a few days ago, he didn't fight with the people next to him because of his words, Chen Jinye was also a hot-blooded impulsive boy at that time, and when he saw Bai Ju, he immediately recruited him to his command, but time has passed year by year, Chen Jinye has already picked up his edge, and Bai Ju is still very impulsive, although Chen Jinye still likes to take Bai Ju with him in everything, but some detailed things are rarely handed over to him anymore. Therefore, he didn't know too many details about the relationship between Hong Ling and Chen Jinye.
Hong Ling smoothly got out of the carriage and sat on the edge of the carriage on the other side, Bai Ju pursed her thin lips slightly, as if she was waiting for a battle.
"The so-called 'boring' actually means that there is nothing to talk about, and it often means that when a person is very bored, it is 'boring'."
Seeing that Bai Ju didn't seem to be moved, Hong Ling hooked the corners of her mouth slyly, and then asked: "Bai Ju, you must be bored to drive the carriage outside alone, why don't you ......", Hong Ling suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Why don't we play tricks on the prince together?" ”。
Bai Ju listened to Hongling's words, and almost jumped up from the carriage, and then immediately calmed down, thinking about how the prince said that he was too impulsive and reckless, this time he just proved it to the prince, and he Bai Ju is not a person who can only be reckless and impulsive, thinking of this, Bai Ju slowly said: "How?" ”。
"Aren't we going to arrive at the next post station in the evening, and when we get to the post station, we won't tell him first, and then quietly hide aside, and when the prince comes out, we will scare him fiercely, how about it?"
Scare the prince? Bai Ju's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that when the prince went south a few days ago, he often teased me like this, if he tricked me back this time...... Thinking of this, Bai Ju couldn't help but show a simple smile.
"Good"
Hong Ling didn't expect Bai Ju to agree so quickly, she couldn't see that Bai Ju looked cold and indifferent, but she also had an unruly heart like herself, Hong Ling immediately gave birth to a sense of comradeship towards Bai Ju, and then continued: "You must be very good at kung fu, right?" ”。
"Okay"
"Who taught you kung fu? Have you ever visited a teacher? ”
“......”
Hong Ling sat on the side and waited for a long time, Bai Ju was stunned as if he hadn't heard it, Hong Ling turned her head sideways and looked at Bai Ju with a slight twist of her eyebrows.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Nothing to say"
Hongling was forced to gasp by Bai Ju's cold words, and closed the first few sentences, but did she run into a dead mouse by her blind cat?
"You can't get used to the prince?"
"It's not"
"Then why are you playing tricks on him with me?"
Bai Ju glanced at Hong Ling obliquely, as if looking at an idiot, "Naturally, I will return it."
Hong Ling was slightly stunned, "He teased you?" ”。
After Hong Ling finished speaking, she was greeted by a long silence, Hong Ling sighed silently, the rank of this white house is too high, she can't move it, thinking about it, Hong Ling leaned back lazily, and simply looked at the scenery along the road.
Chen Jinye in the carriage took all the words of the two into his ears, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and slowly stretched his waist, sure enough, Bai Ju was still the same Bai Ju, the Bai Ju who couldn't talk to him no matter who it was.
According to the agreement, Bai Ju and Hongling quietly hid a few steps away from the post station, but they didn't know that Chen Jinye had actually listened to their words early, and when the two of them stopped the carriage and hid behind the trees on the side, Chen Jinye had already rushed out of the carriage and entered the gate of the post station first.
Hong Ling and Bai Ju stared at the carriage with blank eyes, staring at it for half an hour, Bai Ju had been practicing martial arts for many years and was still squatting, but Hong Ling couldn't sit on the side early, half an hour passed, Hong Ling no longer had patience, and was about to go to the carriage, Bai Ju really didn't follow, "The prince must have seen through this deliberately, we have to wait until the prince is tired of it, otherwise it will be wasted."
Hongling looked at Bai Ju with a serious face in front of her speechlessly, "Aren't you tired?" ”。
I saw Bai Ju's cold eyes, closed his eyes slightly for a moment, and said, "Naturally, I'm tired."
"Then let's go to him for a showdown."
"No way!"
Bai Ju's stubbornness is about to make Hongling collapse, it's been more than half an hour, Chen Jinye should have come out a long time ago, he has not been seen now, I'm afraid that he has already escaped from other places, no wonder Chen Jinye wants to call Bai Ju 'Lao Bai', how can there be such a dead-eyed young man.
So, Hong Ling reluctantly followed Bai Ju behind the big tree for half an hour, and an hour had passed before and after, and the sky had already changed from dusk in the evening to dark, and Bai Ju gradually lost his interest, and sat behind the big tree in despair.
"Can we go now?" , Hong Ling asked tentatively, but she was still greeted by silence, Hong Ling couldn't help but look at Bai Ju, only to see that he was now thinking deeply about something with his head down, Hong Ling pouted speechlessly, and then patted her ass and stood up to go to the post station.
"I'm too stupid, am I?"
Bai Ju's words made Hong Ling look sideways slightly, "Stupid? Hongling turned back and walked a few steps in the direction of Baiju, "Who said you were stupid?" ”。
"Since I was a child, everyone said I was stupid"
The pathos in Bai Ju's eyes deeply stung Hong Ling, the meaning of the word 'since childhood' was too heavy, although she didn't know Bai Ju very well, but Hong Ling had experienced the power of 'since childhood', all tragic things often originated from a sentence of 'since childhood' in adulthood.
Hong Ling furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said, "The problem is that the person who said this about you has nothing to do with you."
