Chapter 397: Journey to the Rivers and Lakes (9)
"King An?" Ouyang Zhen looked up suspiciously and asked, "Isn't King An guarding the western region?" Why did you come to Beijing at this time? ”
The state of Chu is different from the state of Hua, very few princes are rich and noble princes in Beijing, most of them have been assigned various fiefs, and some have received real or virtual official positions outside the capital.
Just like Chu Huotian back then, he led the troops to guard the frontier, received the false title of "Hou Ye", and started step by step from the lowest level of non-commissioned officers, and then became a general, and finally made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and was named "Chu Dinghou......
"Yes, King An, the son of Uncle Jinghuang, has a relationship with my peers, and he is also a figure among his nephews in this life." Chu Huotian opened his mouth to explain lightly, but his deep eyes narrowed slightly.
Ouyang Zhen watched his slight squinting movements, and a nerve in his heart was slightly raised, and he lowered his beautiful eyes and said, "Yes, the concubine knows." ”
Chu Huotian smiled, changed the topic, and took her hand and walked towards the small garden outside the "Yunxiang Palace". I don't know when he started, he always likes to come here after the next court, chat with Ouyang Zhen, and sort out the messy thoughts in the court.
The smart and wise Ouyang Zhen will always vaguely mention some brilliant ideas about the turmoil of the government and politics seemingly inadvertently, she pretends to be inadvertent, and he does not say anything. It's really nice to meet your opponent like this.
However, this time King An, King An...... Could it be another former Chu Dinghou, that is, him?
He looked at the Cuifeng red fade in front of him, and suddenly found that it was already early summer, and the weather in the southwest at this time should be even hotter like fire, and I don't know if King An entered Beijing to see him this time, will he be unaccustomed to the water and soil because he has been away from Beijing for too long?
The corners of his handsome mouth curved slightly, pulling out a trace of self-deprecating arc, it turns out that this is the emperor's heart......
……
Zhan Fei chased out of the inn, and there were people coming and going on the street, but Ling Yu was the only one who couldn't see Ling Yu's shadow. Remorseful in his heart, Ouyang Zhen told her to take a good look at her, but he was careless for a while, but he caught the sore spot of this wild cat and made her angry.
At this time, I am in a foreign land,
He looked around, estimating the direction in which Ling Yu was most likely to leave, and quickly chased after him.
The streets of the town were bustling, and after a while, his pale cyan figure disappeared into the crowd. On the other side of the street, Ling Yu poked his head out, looked gloomily in the direction he left, and muttered to himself: "I should let you be anxious, it's always how the mother is, but look down on me!" ”
Zhan Fei disappeared at the end of the street, Ling Yu thought about it and went back to the inn and felt depressed and panicked, and was not happy to catch up with Zhan Fei, so he had to hastily identify the lower position and go in the opposite direction.
After all, it was just after lunch, and there were still several hours before the evening, so it was okay to play outside and stroll.
She thought about it, so she happily walked to the town, and saw the scenery all the way, but she was full of interest. She has a beautiful appearance, and an ordinary floral cloth dress can't hide the girl's mellow posture, and the pedestrians in the town are all looking sideways, but she is the most heartless, and she has attracted a lot of amazing eyes to the town.
Stop and go, but she didn't expect to walk outside the town, a small road thought to lead to another town, she looked around, and was about to prepare, when suddenly she heard someone on the mountain road on the side of the road shouting for help.
Ling Yu was startled in his heart, and without thinking, he strode towards the place where he came from.
The trail is rugged and overgrown with weeds, and it seems that the townspeople rarely walk this road. Ling Yu performed light skills and followed the sound, but he didn't find anyone for a long time.
At this time, the voice exclaimed again: "You thieves plunder in broad daylight, you will not die a good death!" The voice fell, and there was another miserable scream, as if it had been hit by a heavy object.
Ling Yu was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but shout: "Where did the thief come from!" How dare you hurt someone's life! She finished shouting, looked at the place where the grass and trees swayed, and lifted her breath to cross over.
I saw a person lying in a pool of blood, moaning incessantly, and two gray shadows ran down the mountain like a wind.
Ling Yu wanted to chase, but when he saw that the people on the ground were familiar, he couldn't help but be patient, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"It turned out to be Brother Zhou!" Ling Yu couldn't help but exclaim, wasn't the scholar Zhou Feng who was bleeding like a blood stream from a wound on his forehead that he had just met in the inn? Why is it that every time I meet him, he has trouble?
That Zhou Sheng raised his eyes in pain, and saw that Ling Yu was surprised and ashamed: "Xiaosheng...... Xiaosheng wanted to rush back to his hometown, but he didn't expect that in broad daylight, he actually ran into robbers again, Miss Ling, alas...... Xiaosheng is really ......."
He gasped and sighed in pain. Ling Yu looked at him in embarrassment, and the fleeing thief didn't know where to go, so he had to take out his own handkerchief and hastily bandage his head.
"Brother Zhou, how are you now?" Ling Yu looked at Zhou Sheng, who was wearing torn clothes and a blue nose and swollen face in front of him, and didn't know where to start.
"Xiaosheng's entanglement was robbed by the two thieves, woo woo......" Zhou Sheng may have remembered that he was thousands of miles away from home and did not get into the fame, but he ended up like this, and he couldn't help crying out loud from it.
Ling Yu was frightened by his cry, so he had to comfort him repeatedly: "Brother Zhou, don't be sad, it's all my fault, if I can catch up with Brother Zhou at that time, maybe the three of us will go on the road, and you won't encounter such a disaster, hey......"
Zhou Sheng choked and wiped away his tears, with guilt on his face: "It's all Xiaosheng's bad luck, it's really no wonder Miss Ling." In short, when I arrived in Chudi, nothing went well, not to mention that Enke was not hit, even if I ate something in Chudi, I could rub dirty things with people, it was really, people left their hometowns and were cheap......"
He was about to babble again, but Ling Yu hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Zhou, you are injured, hurry up and go to the town to find a Lang Zhong to have a look, otherwise if the wound is not diagnosed and treated in time, it will slow down your journey back to your hometown." ”
Zhou Sheng hurriedly said yes, Ling Yu looked around, and sighed: "I always feel that Chudi has been too peaceful all these years, but I didn't expect that there would be thieves who robbed the house, alas, I will ...... with my mother another day."
She was halfway through her speech, and finally she knew that she had stopped in time.
Zhou Sheng sorted out the Confucian robes on his body, and asked curiously when he heard this: "It seems that Miss Ling is also a woman who worries about the country and the people, listening to the tone, it seems that she is from an official family?" ......" His small eyes shone brightly, and something flashed.
Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled reluctantly: "Where, this girl is from the rivers and lakes, what kind of official eunuch, that eight poles can't beat." ”
