Chapter 108: Meeting (1)
The city gate of Lingxi County is several feet high, the city gate is closed, and the soldiers on the gatehouse hold swords in their hands and look ahead. Zhu Ran came to the city gate and shouted to the soldiers on the gatehouse: "Trouble report, I want to see your commander." ”
Zhu Ran was wearing Yu Can's clothes, which were the most ordinary people's clothes. When the soldier saw her coming, he wanted to blow her away. But he didn't think that Zhu Ran opened his mouth to see their coach. The big joke made the heart that had been suppressed and tired for a long time be released instantly, and laughed: "Who do you want to see!" "Go, go, a woman's family, don't make trouble here!"
"I want to see your boss!" Facing the laughter of a group of men, Zhu Ran repeated calmly.
The man in the lead was a little sensible, raised his hand, and asked Zhu Ran: "If you want to see the boss, do you have a waist card or a certificate?" ”
Zhu Ran didn't have anything on her body that could prove her identity, and the only thing she wore with her was the peach kernel wood carving that Zhu Heyu gave her on her wedding day, just such an ordinary thing, how to use it as a certificate. "There is no certificate, it's just," Zhu Ran said, pulled off the peach kernel wood carving around his neck, and said to the leading man: "I hope the general can pass it on, and when he sees the boss, he will say that a woman named Zhu Ran wants to see him, and this peach kernel wood carving, I hope the general will be accommodating." ”
The leader is a middle-aged man named Cheng Yu, although he is a Wupin official, he is a close person to Zhu Heyu. A military general, although less reckless than the general general, but generally lacks stability. looked at the wood carving in Zhu Ran's hand, what came to mind in his mind, looked at Zhu Ran, wanted to laugh and held back. He cleared his throat and sent Zhu Ran away: "Okay, I left this thing, and I will definitely give it to the coach when I see it!" This place is dangerous, you are a woman, you better go home and take refuge! The war is tight, and the coach is not in the mood to fall in love! ”
Zhu Ran knew what the man was thinking, he must have regarded her as a girl who admired Zhu Heyu, or a woman who had an affair with Zhu Heyu. I can't help but wonder if he can't bear the loneliness on this battlefield! Thinking of this, he was angry in his chest, put away the wood carving, and said coldly: "I want to see your coach Zhu Heyu, or deputy marshal Lin Yunchen." ”
The soldier on Cheng Yu's left, seeing Zhu Ran's tough attitude, couldn't help but scold: "Hurry up, don't kick your nose in the face, everyone wants to see it!" ”
Zhu Ran wanted to move forward again, and the man directly pulled out his sword. Cheng Yu stopped, "Don't hurt the innocent!" He lowered his face and scolded Zhu Ran: "Where there is a battle, how can you be allowed to mess around!" Get out of here! ”
A sense of powerlessness permeated Zhu Ran's heart, such a situation, when it was really a show to meet a soldier, it was unreasonable. There is no certificate, who will believe her if she is Zhu Heyu's concubine. The last attempt: "I hope the general will send someone into the city to report and say my name, and Zhu Heyu will definitely be willing to see me!" If the general insists on not reporting, he will see the prince in the future and explain to him today's situation. ”
Although there is a threat element in Zhu Ran's words, considering the current situation, it is not serious. It's just that Cheng Yu is a military general after all, and when he heard Zhu Ran's words, he was a little angry, coupled with the instigation of the soldiers beside him, he felt that he had lost face, picked up the hilt of his sword, pulled out his sword and pointed at Zhu Ran and said: "Tell whoever you want to report, today the city gate Lao Tzu has the final say, hurry up!" ”
Zhu Ran looked at Cheng Yu's sword pointing at herself, and felt that someone had splashed cold water in an instant, for a month, she came to Lingxi with great difficulty, but when she arrived at the city gate, she couldn't get in at a distance from Zhu Heyu, and she couldn't see him. secretly made up her mind, and when she saw Zhu Heyu, she would definitely use the ability of a woman to lead the man.
Thinking about it, she couldn't enter the city gate at this time, so she could only give up.
It was getting dark, and Zhu Ran was leaning on the corner of the city gate, anger, grievance, hunger, and exhaustion all came together. Just when there was nothing else to be done, a familiar shout came: "Open the city gates!" ”
A fast horse suddenly galloped towards the city gate, and when Zhu Ran saw the soldiers at the gate, he immediately stood up straight, held his head high, and opened the city gate to both sides. With an idea, he quickly stood up from the corner of the wall, wanting to take the opportunity to sneak in, as long as he could enter the city gate, everything would be solved.
But when he saw the person on the horse, Zhu Ran's heart flinched.
It's Xi Ziyu!
It's not that the enemies don't get together, with her character, can she get in! Take courage and convince yourself, no matter what, this is an opportunity after all. Taking a deep breath, he ran to the city gate and shouted, "Xi Ziyu, you stop!" ”
Xi Ziyu first looked for the source of the voice, and when he saw Zhu Ran walking towards him, there was a hint of playfulness on his face, looking at Zhu Ran, but he didn't speak.
"Does General Nishi remember me?" Zhu Ran tried her best to calm her tone, she didn't dare to confirm whether Xi Ziyu would let herself in at this time.
Xi Ziyu blew away the long hair on the side of his face, and his face was expressionless. Then he whipped his horse's whip and galloped into the city gates.
Zhu Ran stood in place, feeling like he had been slapped hard. She was disappointed and angry.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, Xi Ziyu's emotionless voice reached the ears of the men at the door, and also reached the ears of Zhu Ran.
"Let her in!"
The great contrast made Zhu Ran stunned, standing in place, even if Xi Ziyu let her in, she didn't feel good in her heart.
"General West asked you to come in, what do you mean by stumbling!" The soldier urged.
Zhu Ran entered the city gate, but in front of him was a long road. At the end, someone was guarding again. Zhu Ran looked at the soldiers guarding it, and suddenly her heart was half cold, she had worked hard to pass through a door, but another gate was waiting for her here.
There is no more faith, knowing the past, and the gatekeeper will not let him go.
When Xu is Xi Ziyu passed by, he notified the soldiers guarding the door, and when Zhu Ran walked over, before he could speak, the soldiers directly opened the door. In this way, Zhu Ran also counted the second gate and entered the city
But in the huge city, where did she go to find Zhu Heyu.
She sat on the floor, trying to regain some strength.
The sound of the horse's hooves in front of her was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Ran slowly leaned towards the wall, she was afraid that the horse would gallop past and trample on herself.
The sound of horses' hooves disappeared around her. The man on the horse came down, bent over, and looked at her and smiled.
Zhu Ran raised his head, and suddenly burst into joy: "Lin Yunchen!" ”
"Why are you here!"
Lin Yunchen directly hugged Zhuran and got on the horse, and asked Zhuran about the situation all the way while walking. Zhu Ran felt that he was full of complaints, but he was exhausted, and said to Lin Yunchen: "Can you get me something to eat first." ”
Lin Yunchen said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law is in the dust, looking for a husband for thousands of miles, when she arrives here, she doesn't see the third brother first, but thinks about eating first." ”
Zhu Ran looked at Lin Yunchen's complexion, which was obviously much darker than before, and noticed that his hand holding the reins was rough and calloused. It is conceivable that the battle was hard, but the corners of his eyes were filled with a strong honey, which was not seen before.
Lin Yunchen saw Zhu Ran staring at him, touched his face and said: "This skin is not as white and tender as before, when Lingxi wins the battle, the third sister-in-law will want to make more colored longan for me!" ”
