Volume 2 Two Shifts and Drums: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 180 Ziyuntai in the west of the city
Xiao Tao arrived at Suzaku Street first and looked around carefully. There is nothing suspicious of anyone. After waiting for about a stick of incense, the statement came over in a carriage, and Xiao Tao got into the carriage and rushed to the outskirts of the city together.
Zhao Pu looked at the direction of the carriage at the entrance of the alley. Turned to Zhao Kuangyin and said: "It is estimated that I went to the platform outside the West Gate, which is remote and hidden, and it is easy to get out." Adults may take their horses and soldiers along the other road, lest they be discovered and cause trouble. ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and was just about to get on the horse, when Zhao Kuangyi, who had just rushed over, grabbed Zhao Kuangyin. His brows furrowed tightly: "Second brother, what do you want to do?" ”
"I want you to see it. How did your woman communicate with the enemy. Zhao Kuangyin patted Zhao Kuangyi's shoulder, "Let's go." ”
Zhao Kuangyi was entangled in his heart, and following Xiao Tao always made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. Zhao Kuangyi said with some difficulty: "This doesn't mean anything. She was originally a Tang person, and when she saw that the envoy was cordial, she couldn't say that she collaborated with the enemy country when she went out to talk about the past. ”
"When is this, are you still there" Zhao Kuangyin's temper was about to explode, and Zhao Pushi picked up: "Young General, in fact, Miss Peach went to see the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and it is indeed nothing. As the major general said, the local accent is cordial, and there is nothing wrong with reminiscing about the past. But I'm afraid that the peach girl will see it, not just the envoys. Otherwise, it would be nice to see you in the inn, so why bother going out of the city to see you? Since you have arrived in a sparsely populated place, it must be inconvenient for the person you want to see in Kaifeng to appear openly. ”
Zhao Pu's words made Zhao Kuangyi sigh in his heart. Xiao Tao saw more than just envoys, so was it? I couldn't help but sink in my heart.
Zhao Pu continued: "So the top priority, let's hurry up and see who the person is, I need to make a special trip out of the city to meet, if it is my old enemy of Da Zhou, I can also come to catch turtles in an urn." That's what matters. Presumably, although the major general attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he will inevitably distinguish between right and wrong on this major issue. "Zhao Pu is very good at wearing high hats. Bean Saint throws garbage.
Zhao Kuangyi didn't believe that Xiao Tao would collaborate with the enemy country, and he didn't care who they were going to arrest, he just cared if Xiao Tao was going to see Qi Zhengxiu. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't hold his breath anymore, flew on his horse, and rode away in the direction of the stage. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up to Zhao Pu, this Zhao Pu is really trying to figure out people's hearts, how can he say so closely so that Kuangyi can listen to it. It's a real talent.
When there was still some way to leave the stage, Zhao Kuangyin ordered all the soldiers to dismount. Walk on foot instead, and the movement must be light, even the grass next to it must not be alarmed and fluttering. These soldiers are well-trained, and they are good at sneak attacks and night walks, so naturally such a request is nothing to them. A group of 100 people marched quietly and rapidly towards the stage.
Xiao Tao sat in the carriage of the statement, and her heart was already beating suddenly. The last time I had a shocking glimpse of Qi Gongzi in Xiangao Town, I didn't even remember it completely, and Qi Gongzi had disappeared. For many nights, Xiao Tao kept forcing herself to think of all the past, to think of all the details, and she desperately wanted to remember herself.
But the more she thought about it, the more her heart hurt. Back then, her heart sprouted, her love was giving, and Qi Gongzi's various pasts, every time she recalled a little, her heart hurt a little. But why did fate bring her path to where it is now? Not even irretrievable?
Xiao Tao's hand clutched the placket tightly, she wanted to see Qi Gongzi, she desperately wanted to see her, but she hated herself a little, how could she face Qi Gongzi now? In this way, the carriage quickly reached the west of the city and stopped.
The statement helped Xiao Tao out of the carriage, and in front of him was a low slope covered with dense forests. The statement said: "Walk further inside and you'll be there." Can you do it? ”
Xiao Tao nodded without hesitation, as long as she can see Qi Gongzi, let alone climb such a slope, what road can't she walk?
The two walked along the road in the dense forest to the top of the slope, turned over the slope, crossed a stream, and came to the bottom of a hill, and said that they helped Xiao Tao to climb halfway up the mountain, which was an open platform. On the platform is a small pavilion with four corners. Standing in the pavilion was Qi Zhengxiu, who was dressed in white.
The mountain wind blew Qi Zhengxiu, his clothes fluttered, and he suddenly came out of the dust. The ink hair is tied in the jade crown, and just standing there, it is already a kind of relaxed temperament. Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu's silhouette, and her heart was already beating out of order. The statement shouted directly: "Zijie." ”
Qi Zhengxiu slowly turned his head and looked at the little peach who climbed up with the statement, his heart first slowed down, almost stagnantly beating, and then jumped violently and hard. Qi Zhengxiu walked over to Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao also strode towards Qi Zhengxiu and ran away, but when the two were one step apart, they all stopped. Seeing this, the statement turned and walked down the mountainside.
Qi Zhengxiu looked at the woman in front of her, she hadn't changed, her face was red because she had just climbed half of the mountain. It's still so delicate, it's still so beautiful. It's just that the wind and frost in the past year or so seem to be more calm, not as headless as before, and the posture is more graceful.
Xiao Tao also looked at Qi Zhengxiu greedily, his eyes that were once empty are now gods again. Still elegant, not stained with a trace of dust. Peach's eye circles are a little red.
The two of them stared at each other like this for a long time, Qi Zhengxiu raised the corners of his lips first, and looked at Xiao Tao with a gentle smile: "Are you okay?" ”
Xiao Tao nodded slightly, tears already rolling down: "What about you?" ”
"I'm fine." Qi Zhengxiu smiled softly, "Thanks to your predetermined Yuezhou tour doctor, I finally found him, not only cured my new injuries, but also cured my old diseases." Now the eyes are fine. After a pause, he asked, "What about you?" "He'd been to Huayuefang and knew what happened to her. Now that she has clear eyebrows, it should be good to think about it.
"I've found the traveling doctor again, too." Xiao Tao smiled with tears in her eyes, "It's all right." Xiao Tao felt so strange that she obviously had a stomach full of words, but when she saw Qi Gongzi, she couldn't say a word. She didn't even know what to say.
Qi Zhengxiu opened his mouth lightly: "Can you go back to Datang with me?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Tao was stunned. Qi Gongzi's sentence was so sudden. But when he said this, the clouds were light and the wind was light, as if he was not asking a big question about where Xiao Tao would go in the future, but just asking, "Is the weather good today?" Such a casual sentence. Xiao Tao's mind was empty, and she stammered a little, and it took a long time before she said, "Can I still do it?" ”
Now, no matter what the reason, she has committed to Zhao Kuangyi. How could she still have the face to go back? She never expected that Qi Gongzi would want her again. The corners of Qi Zhengxiu's lips rose, and he nodded: "As long as you want, you can." He added, "Last time you were robbed on the way to the barracks, and now you don't need to report to the workshop when you go back." Just change your name and live again. ”
Qi Zhengxiu's words were to tell Xiao Tao to return to the Tang Dynasty and not have to be an official prostitute. Anyway, Xiao Tao's roster in the teaching workshop was lost for the reason that belonged to their own escort. Go back and start over again with a different name, as long as you don't get reported to the official by acquaintances, you can be safe.
Xiao Tao's thoughts were in a mess, and she just stared at Qi Zhengxiu's face for a long time before she lowered her head, and her tone was a little sad: "Master Qi, when Xiao Tao was seriously ill, she was already -" Xiao Tao was a little speechless, how could she say about her relationship with Zhao Kuangyi? After a long time, he spit out a few words, "Xiao Tao mistook someone else for a child." After saying that, the tears were already flowing down. The experience, the feeling of despair and no way, Xiao Tao didn't know how to describe it to Qi Gongzi. Only she knew that in those drowning days, she needed a Qi Gongzi to have the courage to live.
Qi Zhengxiu looked at Xiao Tao, and he understood the meaning of her words. She recognized others as him, and that other person was Zhao Kuangyi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him all the time. Qi Zhengxiu suddenly felt an unspeakable grievance, as if it belonged to him, and he didn't know when someone pried it away. But what can be done? At that time, his life and death were uncertain, and if someone could take in Xiao Tao and take her away from the pain of displacement, who could he blame?
After a while, Xiao Tao only felt like a prisoner listening to the sentence, and her mood was extremely worried. She didn't know how Qi Gongzi would react. He should have disgusted himself. An unclean woman was first insulted by Qian Hongyi, and then committed to others. Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu's white clothes that were swinging in the wind, and only felt that it was so clean, compared to it, she seemed to be too dirty.
Qi Zhengxiu slowly stretched out his hand, took Xiao Tao's hand, and repeated it in a firm tone: "As long as you want, you can." Qi Zhengxiu's words were like a hammer, knocking on Xiao Tao's heart. It made her heart pound. Qi Zhengxiu's voice was a little sad: "Blame me, there is no way to take care of you." ”
Qi Zhengxiu's last sentence was like a torrent, attacking Xiao Tao. From the hands and feet, to the limbs, to the heart, it flows warmly. Qi Zhengxiu rarely said anything affectionate, but this sentence made Xiao Tao feel a sense of belonging for the first time, it turned out that in Qi Gongzi's heart, taking care of himself was what he thought he should and was willing to do. Xiao Tao raised her eyes to look at Qi Zhengxiu, wanting to squeeze out a smile, but tears flowed down first.
Qi Zhengxiu's heart moved, and with a force in his hand, he had already taken Xiao Tao into his arms. How long has it been lovesick, Qi Zhengxiu couldn't help but exert force in his hands, he just wanted to hug Xiao Tao tightly and never let go. The country is in danger, he is too busy to take care of it, and he also knows that he is not qualified or capable of protecting Xiao Tao, but if there is such a moment in his life, he can quietly hug his beloved woman and listen to the mountain breeze blowing, it is also a luxury of happiness.
