Chapter 71: Greeting from the city

Zhao Yin was concentrating on looking at the map of Guangwu Mountain to find a suitable breakthrough, and was suddenly affected by a slight snoring.

When I looked up, I saw Xu Jiao lying on the bookcase and already asleep.

He shook his head lightly and said to himself, "It's a good sleep, obviously I'm still writing seriously just now." As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the bookcase.

Seeing that the edge of the bookcase was pressed with a ruler on two large written sheets, I couldn't help but pick it up and look at it, and immediately complained: "Crooked, which looks like a word!" ”

In fact, Xu Jiao has been painting since elementary school, and her writing is not much worse at all, but it is nothing in front of Zhao Yin and Xu Wenyang and others.

Zhao Yin lowered her head and found that there was a folded piece of rice paper under her cuffs, and some ink was faintly revealed on the back, so she reached out and pulled it out and slowly unfolded it to take a look.

Zhao Yin was stunned.

The person on the paper is still himself, or he who has just looked at the drawings. Under a closer look, every stroke is just right, especially the facial features, the charm is just right, which just reflects the difficulty of thinking about things just now.

It's just that when did there be a clump of bamboo in the hem of his shirt?

Zhao Yin is very sure that this is Xu Jiao's own addition, but it is really good, next time let the embroidery girl embroider a bush for herself, it is okay to think about it.

Seeing Xu Jiao's head move, Zhao Yin hurriedly folded the drawings and stuffed them into his chest. stretched out his head and saw that Xu Jiao did not wake up at all. He shamelessly carried his portrait out of the study.

Dong'er saw him come out at the door, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Lord Wang." ”

Zhao Yin waved his hand: "You go and get a blanket and cover her." ”

Dong'er nodded and went to the next room to get a blanket. When she came back, she found that Xu Jiao was stretching behind the bookcase, so she stepped forward and said, "The prince also asked me to get a blanket, it turns out that the young lady is awake." ”

Xu Jiao glanced at the low couch and asked, "Where did he go?" ”

"I don't know, the prince doesn't seem to have gone out, I see that he went to the direction of Lord Zhao'an's wing."

Xu Jiao nodded: "Is my father back?" ”

Dong'er shook her head: "I didn't receive the letter." ”

Xu Jiao frowned: "Forget it, go find Rong'er." ”

When Xu Jiao arrived, Huang Rong was pinching a herb and pondering it carefully, and Huang Xinglin was flipping through the medical book behind her.

"What are you looking at? What kind of medicine is this? She asked.

Huang Rong looked up and saw that it was her, put down the herbs in her hand and said, "Ordinary herbs, uncle asked me to distinguish them, how can you be willing to come over, aren't you with your father?" ”

Xu Jiao called at Huang Xinglin: "Uncle, good." Then he stepped forward and sat down beside Huang Rong: "My father went to pick up the medicinal materials in person, and he didn't let me accompany him." ”

Huang Xinglin saw the two little girls talking, so he said hello and went out.

Huang Rong asked her to reach out and take her pulse.

Xu Jiao stretched out her hand to her and asked, "I haven't asked, you were the most sick before, who took care of you after taking the medicine?" ”

Huang Rong said: "Who else can it be?" As you saw before, Dr. Liu and the military doctor were naturally my uncle later. ”

Xu Jiao glared: "All men?" ”

"What do you think, girl? We are all doctors! What's more, Dr. Liu is qualified to be my grandfather, and the other is my uncle! Huang Rong pinched her wrist with her hand.

Xu Jiao instantly screamed in pain: "I was wrong, wrong, let go!" ”

Huang Rong said: "Why don't you say that it is also a man who takes care of you, your prince and Zhao An, which one is not a man?" ”

Xu Jiao said: "That's different, the prince and I are husband and wife after all." ”

Huang Rong smiled and poked the itchy flesh on her waist: "Husband and wife, tell me, how did he do your man?" ”

Xu Jiao stretched out her hand to separate her chaotic magic grasp: "Okay, okay, let's talk to you about business." ”

Only then did Huang Rong stop: "Let you go first, say, what's the matter?" ”

"I have also seen the prescriptions for the treatment of epidemics, and there are a few that are quite expensive, are there any alternatives to them?"

Huang Rong: "What? Don't you know that the difference is a thousand miles? ”

Xu Jiao was embarrassed and said: "I naturally know, it's just ...... Let me tell you the truth, the public funds in my father's yamen have been run away by Liu Han, and now I have no money to buy medicine, and I also know that the current situation in Wuyuan is inextricably linked, and there are too many twists and turns in it. ”

Huang Rong shook her head firmly: "I really can't help your father's situation, this prescription is prescribed after I have considered it many times, and it cannot be replaced." ”

Xu Jiao lowered her head lonely: "Forget it, in fact, I don't have much hope." After a pause, he said, "Are you completely well?" ”

Huang Rong glanced at her and said, "Your conscience was eaten by a dog?" That's when I remembered to ask me. ”

Xu Jiao smiled shyly: "Actually, I don't have to ask, you look stronger than a cow now." ”

Huang Rong took off her embroidered shoes and was about to beat her, Xu Jiao hurriedly ran out of the door with her head in her hands: "I still have something to do, I'll come to you another day." ”

Huang Rong chased to the door, and saw that Huang Xinglin was about to come in with a basket of herbs, so she hurriedly put down the embroidered shoes in her hand and stood up: "Uncle, are you here?" ”

Huang Xinglin nodded: "There are a few other herbs that look very similar, but the medicinal properties are completely different, I will bring them here to teach you." ”

Huang Rong hurriedly opened the door: "Come in." ”

Huang Xinglin walked inside, and stopped when he passed by her: "Rong'er, I shouldn't have said you, but you have also grown up and become sensible, and sometimes you should do your duty, if you accidentally offend that person, you don't know how to die at that time." ”

Huang Rong bowed her head and responded: "What Uncle taught me is that I will pay attention to it in the future." He raised his head and glared at Xu Jiao on the other side, and said with exaggerated lips: "I'll clean you up next time!" ”

Xu Jiao grimaced at her, turned around and pulled Dong'er away.

When she returned to the study, she found that Zhao Yin had not returned, so she went to the bedroom.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Zhao Yin leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it.

When Xu Jiao entered the door, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at them and lowered his head again.

Xu Jiao leaned over and said, "Lord Wang, it's still early, you can accompany me to the outside of the city to have a look." ”

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Yin asked.

"I'm worried about my dad."

Xu Jiao didn't really have much hope, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yin would actually respond, and quickly got up and took her out.

The two went downstairs, and Liu Yu brought a tall horse with a shiny mane from the backyard and handed it to Zhao Yin: "Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to accompany you?" ”

Zhao Yin shook his head: "No need." ”

The head surveyed Xu Jiao and greeted Da Ma with her head tilted: "Hello, I'll work hard for you in a while, I'll come back and give you some food." ”

couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and threw her arms around the horse: "I'm worried that your father won't hurry up, what are you talking about here?" ”

Before Xu Jiao could react, she had already landed firmly on the horse's back, and she hurriedly grabbed the pull ring on the saddle: "I'm going to ride my pony, this is too high!" ”

Zhao Yin turned over and hugged her from behind: "When your pony runs out of the city, it is estimated that it will be dark." As he spoke, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and shouted: "Drive!" And the horses galloped.

Xu Jiao was rushed back by inertia, and was trapped by Zhao Yin, not in the slightest danger.

Xu Jiao suddenly said: "It's over!" ”

Zhao Yin asked, "What's over?" ”

Xu Jiao said: "I don't know which city gate my father walked out of." ”

Zhao Yin controlled the horses and continued to run through the north gate, while saying in her ear: "Naturally the north gate, since he arrived in Wuyuan, he only arranged the north gate, last time the bandits on the mountain wanted to come in from the north gate, but it was all taken down by your father's design, and he almost went out of the city these days to go out of the north gate." ”

"You know him well." Xu Jiao whispered and stopped talking.

The two rode fast, but at tea time, they arrived at the north gate.

Zhao Yin flashed his waist card, and the officers and soldiers defending the city hurriedly opened the door and let him go.

Xu Jiao said: "Your waist card is really a good thing, you have to put it away, if it falls off, it will become a * annoyance." ”

Zhao Yin: "Actually, it's not easy to use here, your father has never given me face, in the past, I went out of the city where I walked closer, and your father in the province had to be checked, I guess this time it's because you're there." ”

"Where do these people know me, how can it be?" Xu Jiao didn't believe it.

"You forgot the last time you were here to pacify the people, didn't you always follow your father?"

Xu Jiao: "I see! I knew I could go out of town, so I wouldn't need you to take it. ”

Zhao Yin laughed out loud unkindly: "So you plan to do this?" ”

Xu Jiao: "Of course, my father ordered the city to be sealed, I thought that in addition to your noble status, we couldn't leave the city at will." ”

The two were talking, and before they knew it, they had left the city for four or five miles, and Zhao Yin frowned: "Why haven't you seen anyone yet?" ”

"Yes, seeing that the sun is about to set, it is time to come back, otherwise the medicine at night will not be in time." Xu Jiao also stretched her neck and looked ahead.

Zhao Yin tightened her into his arms: "You sit down, there is Huagai Mountain in front, the road is not easy to walk, let's cross the mountain and take a look." ”

Xu Jiao grabbed the ring and nodded: "Hmm." ”

Zhao Yin flicked the whip, and the horse began to gallop again.

As soon as she turned the foot of the mountain, Xu Jiao saw a group of people in front of her, and said happily: "I saw it, I saw it, there it was." ”

Zhao Yinle stopped his horse, and when he saw that Xu Jiao was about to shout loudly again, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her: "Don't speak, it's not right!" ”

Xu Jiao realized that there were a lot of people in front of her, and they were very chaotic, it felt like a group fight, and Xu Jiao, who reacted, turned her head and stared at Zhao Yin: "What should I do?" ”

Zhao Yin withdrew her hand and shook it without a trace, and the palm of her hand seemed to still have a soft touch, which was her lips.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said solemnly: "You just hide here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Xu Jiao nodded.

Zhao Yin dismounted, hugged her by the waist, jumped on a big tree next to her, and put her in the tree: "It's okay, don't come down, don't make a sound!" ”

Xu Jiao nodded again, and stood on the tree with both hands holding the trunk.

Zhao Yin flew down and rode forward.

Xu Jiao stood tall and saw far away at this time, and naturally had an unobstructed view of the situation ahead.

I saw a wave of people scuffling with the people escorting the medicinal herbs brought by his father, and the other party was all holding a big knife.

Fortunately, Xu Wenyang's side was led by Zhang Yue, so he would not be powerless to fight back.
