Chapter 253: Friends
Tomorrow is about to leave for Anlu, Xiao Lian returned to Xiangyun Hall to pack his bags. He came empty-handed, not even a single piece of clothing. He had nothing but two sets of clothes. He thought for a moment and took a flask in his hand, as if all his possessions were such a silver flask.
"I'm so poor, I hope there will be clothes in the barracks." Xiao Lian thought.
Xiao Lian sat on the railing, pillowed on his arm, and dangled under the railing with one long leg. The moonlight was fine tonight, and there was a faint sweetness of flowers in the air, and he took a deep breath, but he couldn't tell what flowers were.
Faintly, he hopes that this floral fragrance can become another beautiful fragrance mixed with sandalwood, when can he hold this fragrance in his arms, he will not come to this world for nothing.
"General Long Xiang."
Xiao Lian hurriedly jumped off the railing.
Walking out of the apse, Cao Jingzhao stood in front of the hall.
Xiao Lian crossed Cao Jingzhao's shoulder and looked behind him, only the cold floor of the Buddha hall and the quiet Buddha lamp were in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Cao Jingzhao took out a burden and a long sword wrapped in black cloth from his arms: "General Long Xiang, this is given to you by the queen mother." She said that she couldn't come to General Long Xiang to practice today, and hoped that General Long Xiang could recover Sizhou and save the people from fire and water. ”
"Thank you, Queen." Xiao Lian took over the burden from Cao Jingzhao.
How could Xiao Zhaoye still be willing to come to the Buddhist hall with He Jingying. A touch of bitterness slipped through Xiao Lian's heart.
Xiao Lian opened the baggage, and put a few clothes inside, a stack of silver tickets, and a piece of gold silk soft armor. Xiao Lian picked up the silver ticket and raised it: "The queen is really arrogant." ”
Cao Jingzhao only felt that the person in front of him was very familiar when he spoke, like an old friend. "The queen also said that if General Long Xiang can not come back, don't come back."
Xiao Lian's face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth sank: "Trouble Cao Guard's return to the queen, Xiao Lian will return triumphantly." At that time, it would be good for the queen to give more rewards. ”
Xiao Lian took apart the black cloth wrapped in the sword body, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Blazing Sun!" ”
As if reuniting with an old friend, he pulled out the Sun Sword and wrapped a sword flower around his wrist. The pure black sword body actually had a red glow in the moonlight.
Cao Jingzhao sincerely admired: "General Long Xiang is so good that he will definitely make those northern dogs suffer enough." ”
Xiao Lian remembered that when he once asked Cao Jingzhao to follow him, he had promised to let Cao Jingzhao go into battle to kill the enemy. I broke my promise. Xiao Lian looked at Cao Jingzhao apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”
Cao Jingzhao was stunned for a moment: "General Long Xiang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Lian said sincerely: "Cao Guard's martial arts are full of martial arts, and he also has the heart of serving the country loyally, but he didn't have the opportunity to go to the front line to fight with the Northern Wei Dynasty. If I have the chance, I will let Cao Guard go to the border with me and kill him!" ”
Cao Jingzhao was stirred by Xiao Lian's words: "If Cao can go to the battlefield, even if he can't retreat thousands of miles from the enemy, he will kill thousands of northern dogs, so that they can repay the blood debt of the people on my border!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Lian smiled and handed his wine jug to Cao Jingzhao: "When I come back from the battlefield and can make conditions with the emperor, I will take Cao Guard's guards to the barracks." ”
Cao Jingzhao took the wine jug briskly, took a sip, and was immediately stunned: "General, why did you drink in Xiangyun Palace." ”
Xiao Lian smiled awkwardly: "The Buddha is left in his heart, and the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, so there is no need to stick to these subsections." ”
Cao Jingzhao had the intention to befriend Xiao Lian, but he was embarrassed to say it, after all, he was just a guard, and Xiao Lian was already a general. Cao Jingzhao scratched his head, took out a piece of jade that was not very good-looking from his arms, and said abruptly: "General Xiao, Cao really admires General Xiao." Cao has nothing good, only this safety buckle, and he has been with Cao for many years. ”
Cao Jingzhao said and glanced at the pile of silver tickets and gold silk soft armor in the baggage, and felt that he was too much to hold the peace buckle in his hand. One silver ticket can buy ten of these jadeites. Cao Jingzhao took his hand back again: "Forget it, when the general returns triumphantly, if the general does not dislike it, Cao will invite the general to eat at the best restaurant in the capital." ”
Xiao Lian smiled heartily: "Cao Guard, are you willing to be brothers with Xiao?" Xiao doesn't have any friends, if Cao Guards don't dislike ......"
"Don't dislike, don't dislike." Cao Jingzhao said happily: "Cao can't ask for it. Saying that, Cao Jingzhao handed over the peace buckle in his hand again: "This peace buckle has been with Cao for many years, it can be regarded as a safe one, I hope Brother Xiao will not dislike it." ”
"Okay." Xiao Lian smiled and took the peace buckle in his hand, and hooked Cao Jingzhao's neck with one hand: "Then I'm welcome." ”
From the trough to Zhuyi, the two were born and died several times, and Xiao Lian had already regarded Cao Jingzhao as a brother.
"Does the poor road disturb General Long Xiang Yaxing?"
As soon as Xiao Lian turned around, he saw the ghost-faced Langjun standing in the corridor, the corners of his mouth under the mask raised, and he looked smiling.
Cao Jingzhao hugged his fists at the ghost-faced Langjun and said, "Heavenly Master." ”
Ghost-faced Langjun said politely: "Cao Guard." ”
Cao Jingzhao turned back to Xiao Lian and said: "Jing Zhao is still on duty tonight, so I won't stay here, and when Brother Xiao goes out tomorrow, Jing Zhao will come to see him off." ”
"Good. You go get busy first. ”
Ghost-faced Langjun still smiled: "Yes, I've made friends." ”
Xiao Lian snorted: "He was originally my brother. ”
"I envy you." Ghost-faced Langjun said as he took out a bag and handed it to Xiao Lian.
"What is this?" Xiao Lian opened the baggage as he spoke, and there were some bottles and cans inside.
Ghost-faced Langjun picked up a brown porcelain vase: "This is the best gold sore medicine." ”
He picked up a small indigo jar again: "This is not suitable for water and soil." ”
picked up a small reddish-brown jar again: "I'll tell you that this is amazing, smeared on the sword, the other party's blood will not be coagulated with a knife, even if you cut him a small hole, he is not far from death, and it is very terrifying." You're guaranteed to win every battle. ”
Xiao Lian glanced at the ghost-faced Lang Jun, and said speechlessly: "Where is the time on the battlefield to smear poison on the sword and hurt your own people?"
Ghost-faced Langjun waved his hand: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." As he spoke, he picked up a dark green jar again: "This one is also very powerful, I made this pill sticky on the sugar coating, which can be attached to the wall of the mouth." If you are caught by the enemy, you bite it to pieces, so that you can die a good death and not suffer. ”
Xiao Lian couldn't cry or laugh: "Aren't you afraid that I will accidentally swallow it?" ”
Ghost-faced Langjun said impatiently: "Don't interrupt. He pointed to a bunch of small bottles one by one and said, "This, headache, brain heat, wind and cold can be used." This, you can eat it without digesting it. This, the best sweat medicine. This, with just a little powder, can stun a cow. This, the best aphrodisiac, just give the girl a little bit ......"
"Stop, stop! What a mess, what a girl, what an aphrodisiac, what weird are you?! ”
"Don't worry, this aphrodisiac can also be used by men."
Xiao Lian: "...... Believe it or not, I beat you up? ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you can take it anyway, I put a sticker on the bottle, you can see how to use it before you use it."
Xiao Lian was angry and funny, and took the burden over: "Can't you do something else?" ”
Ghost-faced Langjun sighed, "That's all I can do. ”
Xiao Lian looked at the ghost-faced Langjun and asked, "Have you thought about it, why don't you really try to go back?" Xiao Lian stretched out his hand and rubbed the silver wine jug: "Zongsa gave me a formation, I can go back once, and I can also send you back." ”
Ghost-faced Langjun smiled bitterly: "What am I going to do when I go back?" The previous corpses were probably burned to ashes. I don't know how to survive when I go back? Keep this chance for yourself. ”
Xiao Lian sighed: "Apart from me, have you found the same person as us?" ”
Ghost-faced Langjun shook his head and said, "I never deliberately went to look for it. The only person I know from that world is Xiao Dao who gave you. It's funny to say, I've been in Zhuyi for so long, and I don't even know Xiao Daoci's real name. Ever since I came here, I didn't dare to reveal my identity to outsiders. ”
Ghost-faced Langjun touched the mask on his face and said: "I'm not as lucky as you, after I came here, I was arrested by Xiao Daoci and taken directly to the Hall of the Dead, and finally came out alive from hundreds of people and brought this mask." It was only after a long time that I found out that Xiao Daoci was from that world like me. But I didn't dare tell him that he was a madman, and I was afraid that I would die faster if I told him. Fortunately, I used to be a pharmacist, and he did exactly what I was good at, so I made a living in Zhuyi with this skill. ”
Ghost-faced Langjun patted Xiao Lian on the shoulder: "Not everyone is as good as you. Besides, I'm a poor ghost in that world, what are I going to do when I go back? The teacher was very good, and there were people kneeling to bring me plates. ”
"You have never dared to reveal your identity, so how dare you come to me?"
Xiao Lian still remembered that the night after he lived in the Xiangyun Palace, the ghost-faced Langjun came to look for him. The ghost-faced Langjun didn't even greet him when he saw him, and said bluntly: "What year are you from?" ”
If Xiao Lian is not from modern times, this sentence can also be understood in the ears of ordinary people as how long his birthday is.
Ghost-faced Langjun looked at Xiao Lian's hair and mocked, "I'm not stupid. You're not bad either. ”
Ghost-faced Langjun said coldly again: "I also need a friend." ”
"Can I ask you for something?" Xiao Lian said.
The ghost-faced Langjun squinted: "The queen mother? ”
Xiao Lian nodded: "I don't know what I can change, I can only try my best to protect her." ”
"Then you still invited yourself to the battlefield?"
Xiao Lian smiled bitterly: "I can't do anything in this palace, it's better to go to the battlefield and make some achievements and come back to protect her." ”
"Why don't you just take her back?"
Xiao Lian shook his head: "Zongsa said that you can only go back to one, otherwise the world will be in chaos." ”
The ghost-faced Langjun despised Xiao Lian through the mask and said: "You don't want a life, but you can't be with her, what do you think, stupid or not?" ”
The corners of Xiao Lian's eyes fluttered, and he smiled heartily: "It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, you care about me?!" ”
The ghost-faced Langjun snorted: "Okay, okay, you are the uncle." You go and fight your battles and be your uncle. In the palace, I can only guarantee her life in times of crisis. I don't dare to promise you anything else. The one you like is also an uncle, and he has to wipe my neck at every turn. ”
"Okay, then please." Xiao Lian said with a smile.
Ghost-faced Langjun picked up something else, drank wine from Xiao Lian's silver pot, and said that the two of them had been out of the world for a long time.
It's that simple.
With loved ones and friends, you have a bond with the world, and you are no longer alone.
