Chapter 236: Knowing the Homeland
After a short time, the boy shook his head and woke up again. Xiao Qingzhu didn't hit him this time, but just asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
The young man was a little annoyed: "You save me and save me, what are you doing beating me?"
Xiao Qingzhu sighed: "I'm not afraid that you will struggle! In that case, it is more convenient for me to take you away by knocking you out." ”
The young man's anger still didn't subside: "Then why are you hitting me a second time?"
Xiao Qingzhu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold back." ”
"You're a man!"
The boy was angry and aggrieved, but in the end he didn't say anything more. After all, Xiao Qingzhu was just here to save his life.
Xiao Qingzhu led the donkey: "I'm leaving, take care of yourself." ”
The boy immediately stood up from the ground: "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Qingzhu stopped: "What's wrong?"
The young man smiled: "Just now...... Thank you for your help. ”
Xiao Qingzhuyun said lightly: "You're welcome. ”
The young man was a little embarrassed: "Well, my horse is gone, can you wait for me for a while, wait for my people to send me a horse......"
"Send horses?"
"Yes, I was originally going to hunt with a group of people, but I ran away, I'm here by myself, I can't cope with it......" The boy scratched his head.
Xiao Qingzhu couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid of spirit beasts?"
The boy nodded: "My spiritual skills are not so powerful......"
Xiao Qingzhu asked, "Where are they, I'll send you over." ”
The boy whistled, and soon a messenger pigeon flew over. The boy wrote a note, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and then put it back into the sky.
"In a little while, they will come. You'll have to go home with me for a drink! I haven't thanked you yet!"
"You don't have to. Xiao Qingzhu shook his head, "I still have to go back to Tuoba City......
"Coincidentally, I'm also from Tuoba City. The boy smiled, "Let's go together!"
"In that case, let's go together. Xiao Qingzhu patted the donkey's face, "It's just right, I'll rest for a while." ”
The young man sat on the ground: "Girl, what's your name?"
Sister?
Xiao Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and reacted randomly: The young man in front of him looked like he was about eighteen years old. I'm only sixteen years old, so it's reasonable to call a girl.
"Xiao Qingzhu. ”
The young man smiled: "You're probably not from Mangyuan, right?"
Xiao Qingzhu nodded: "Yes." But I'm working in Tuoba City. ”
As he was talking, in the distance, a group of people rode over on their spirit horses. The boy immediately stood up: "Look, here they are!"
Xiao Qingzhu looked at it and was stunned: This is a group of Tuoba soldiers. A soldier ran over quickly, bowed to the young man, and bowed: "The subordinate is late, please forgive the prince!"
The boy raised his hand and motioned for the man to stand up. Xiao Qingzhu looked at him in surprise: "You are Prince Tuoba?"
The young man smiled: "I didn't tell you just now, I am the sixth prince of Tuoba City, Tuoba Ping. ”
Xiao Qingzhu didn't have a good impression of the Tuoba royal family, she said coldly: "Since you have also found a team, then please take care of yourself." As for me, you don't have to worry about it. ”
So saying, she stepped onto the donkey.
"Presumptuous, dare to be so rude to the prince!" several subordinates surrounded him menacingly, and drew the scimitar at his waist.
"Go down!" Tuoba Ping immediately drank his subordinates, "Miss Xiao, don't get me wrong. I don't have any malicious intentions, your skills are very high, I just want to ask you, would you like to come to me on an errand?"
Xiao Qingzhu flatly refused: "I don't want to!"
Tuoba Ping smiled, "Can you tell me where you live?"
Xiao Qingzhu didn't answer, she patted the donkey's buttocks and galloped away.
Now she is a little bored and wants to return to the Fulong Chamber of Commerce early to have a good rest. Two hours later, she finally returned to Tuoba City again. To her surprise, the city seemed to be particularly lively today, and the city was filled with the fresh and spicy smell of leeks. Children wear flowers on their heads, and adults follow them to buy all kinds of leek stuffed pastries on the street.
It turns out that today is the Spring Leek Festival of the Tuoba Department.
Xiao Qingzhu doesn't like to eat leeks, but this kind of grand scene makes her quite interested. Just when she was in a daze, a palace car suddenly drove slowly in front of her, and the people around her hurriedly avoided it.
Xiao Qingzhu took the stinky man and avoided it to the side. The palace car got closer and closer, and finally, it stopped in front of Xiao Qingzhu.
The people in the car lifted their hands and showed their faces. Xiao Qingzhu was stunned.
"Lord Zhuanghua?"
The county lord of Zhuanghua was obviously more surprised than her: "It's really you, it's actually you?!"
Xiao Qingzhu clenched the reins in his hand: "Yes, it's me." I haven't seen you for so long, but I didn't expect to see you here again today. ”
Lord Zhuanghua's eyes immediately turned cold, and her face turned from red to white, from white to blue: "Come on, take her down!"
"Who dare!"
Xiao Qingzhu shook it fiercely, and the non-evil sword immediately popped out of its scabbard. A burst of spiritual pressure quickly bounced away, and the county lord of Zhuanghua felt a very terrible threat.
"There are assassins!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the street became tense, and pairs of soldiers surrounded Xiao Qingzhu. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Son-in-law, please give peace to the queen mother!"
Everyone looked back and saw Tuoba Ping slowly walking over with someone. Looking at Tuoba Ping, who was about the same age as the county lord of Zhuanghua, Xiao Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh.
Lord Zhuanghua's face immediately turned red and white for a while, and he was embarrassed. She glared at Xiao Qingzhu viciously, and then asked, "Sixth Prince, why are you here?"
Tuoba Ping said with a smile: "I came out to relax, and by the way, I took a look at the grand scene of this Spring Leek Festival." Is the queen mother too?"
Lord Zhuanghua snorted coldly: "This palace is also here to see the scene, and I don't want to meet an old man." You go back first, I have something important to talk to this old man. ”
Tuoba Ping asked, "Old man, does the queen mother mean this Xiao guard I newly recruited?"
Lord Zhuang Hua looked at him in surprise: "Guard?"
Xiao Qingzhu glanced at Tuoba Ping, but did not speak. The county lord of Zhuanghua sneered: "Xiao Qingzhu, you have such a good means, you can find someone to protect you in Tuoba City!"
Xiao Qingzhu was silent. Tuoba Ping said without humility or arrogance: "The queen mother has misunderstood. As far as I know, Xiao Guards didn't make a mistake, so how can Erchen cover it up?"
Lord Zhuanghua said coldly: "Old ten, it's none of your business here. I'm going to take this guard away, you can do it. ”
Tuoba Ping smiled: "This is not easy to do. It is a good thing for the queen mother to meet her old acquaintance in a foreign country, and her sons should also fulfill it. It's just that this guard has a lot of things to do. If the queen mother wants to catch up, can she be another day?"
Lord Zhuang Hua said angrily: "You dare to disobey my will?!"
Tuoba Ping smiled: "Erchen doesn't dare. It's just that my father has long strictly forbidden the harem to interfere excessively in foreign affairs, isn't it a little inappropriate for the queen mother to do this?"
Lord Zhuanghua thought about it, and then sneered: "Okay, I know." She glanced at Xiao Qingzhu fiercely: "Let's see!"
A group of palace people drove the palace car away, Xiao Qingzhu looked at the back of the county lord of Zhuanghua coldly, and narrowed his eyes.
