Chapter Seventy-Four: Fearful
Qingyuan saw the people disappear, looked at the several dead corpses on the ground, quickly got up, connected the number of carriages with ropes, and drove the carriage quickly towards Yangzhou.
Zhou Yun drove back to the Four Seasons Spring, still in shock.
The girls toasted and whispered to Zhou Yunkai, but Zhou Yunkai couldn't hear anything, they just wanted to hurry up and be cautious and dream a lot.
"Brother, what's wrong with you, I see that you look nervous and have a lot of worries. Dong Jian came down from the second floor, straightened his collar, and looked at the taciturn Zhou Yunkai in the living room.
"Brother, I intend to hurry early, I always feel uneasy, stay in Yangzhou, it's not too late for the general to play again." β
Zhou Yunkai forced a smile, but Dong Jian saw through it at a glance, there was a treachery in his smile, his eyes were sharp, he walked to Zhou Yunkai and sat down, poured a bowl of wine, and drank it all.
"Brother Xian, are you dissatisfied?" Dong Jian closed his eyes and said.
Zhou Yunkai saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly smiled, "How come, my brother treats me like a brother, but the younger brother heard that sand bandits are rampant in this area, and I am afraid that I will meet them if there is a slight accident, so it is better to be cautious and hurry early." β
"Little sand bandit, I'm afraid that he will do something, does the younger brother not know the strength of the elder brother or does not know the anger of the elder brother? Or does the virtuous brother not take the elder brother seriously!"
Dong Jian's voice raised, so that Zhou Yunkai didn't dare to refute anymore, the more he explained, the more ghosts came, even if he hadn't met Qingyuan, Qingyuan was not a fool, maybe he would find a guest officer to rest, just leave him alone.
"There is an elder brother who protects the virtuous brother without fear, since this is the case, the virtuous brother first toasts and tells the elder brother not to be angry. After that, Zhou Yun began to pick up the wine poured by the girl, raised his sleeve to cover it, drank a glass of wine, and was full of praise.
Dong Jian saw that Zhou Yunkai was no longer shouting to leave, laughed, and said, "What's the matter, is this girl pouring wine mellow and soft, and the aftertaste is endless." β
Zhou Yunkai looked at Dong Jian's eyes and smiled.
"Sweet. β
"Hahaha, it's good to be sweet, girl, didn't you hear our Lord Zhou shouting sweet, hurry up and pour the wine! Wait a minute, serve Lord Zhou well, and ask Lord Zhou to see if it is our Gusu's wine sweetness, or human sweetness!"
"Yes~" The girl's voice is tactful and good, and the wine in her hand is sweet and moist, if it weren't for the rough voice of the soldier to break the beauty, she would be a guest in a paradise, and she would not want to return.
"Newspaperβ"
"What's the matter!" Dong Jian drank a glass of wine and asked the soldiers outside the door.
"General, the sentry came to report, and I saw General Qingyuan with dozens of carriages hurrying five miles away. β
Zhou Yunkai almost choked on a sip of wine, holding the wine glass to his lips, staring at the wine jug, his eyes were slightly sharp, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Oh, Qingyuan, where is he going with the carriage?" Dong Jian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Zhou Yunkai's heart had already reached his throat, and he only drank to hide his panic.
"How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" Dong Jian asked.
"Back to the general, only General Qingyuan is alone. β
"One person?" Dong Jian and Zhou Yunkai were shocked at the same time, and dozens of carriages were transported by only one person, isn't this nonsense.
Zhou Yunkai suddenly had a number in his heart, it seems that Qingyuan encountered sand bandits on the road, but the sentry said that he was driving the carriage, so he was not robbed?
Zhou Yunkai was also full of doubts and looked at Dong Jian.
"In any case, General Qing can't be asked to walk alone, go, let's go...... Greet the Qing general. Dong Jian was overjoyed, but he wanted to see what the hell Qingyuan was doing.
Zhou Yun was happy, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop Dong Jian.
"The general is careful in everything, Qingyuan is in a hurry late at night, but no one follows, I'm afraid there is some fraud, or ignore him, wouldn't you and I be happy to eat and drink here." β
Zhou Yunkai said and picked up the wine glass, and did it first as a respect.
"Hey~ Brother Xian, don't be afraid, can he be treacherous and treacherous to me? In terms of force, I won't lose to him, what are you afraid of, besides, I just went to meet him, and it is not easy to know that he came from afar, so I can't pretend not to see it, there are rudeness. β
Dong Jian picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, and smiled evilly at Zhou Yunkai.
"Please also ask the general to think twice, if there is really no one to follow, with Qingyuan alone how to transport dozens of carriages from Zi'an to Gusu, the journey of five hundred miles before and after, can be described as difficult and dangerous, no matter how high his force is, it is not enough for him to do it, so the general thinks about it, or don't mess with him. β
Zhou Yunkai's heart was like a drum, but he couldn't see a minute or two of anxiety on his face.
Dong Jian's eyes flashed with urgency, and he laughed heartily in the blink of an eye, "Brother, hey, you are really cowardly and afraid, are you afraid that I will run into that Qingyuan, or are you afraid that Qingyuan will run into me, huh?"
After Zhou Yunkai heard the words, his heart drooped, and he only made a chuckle, and said slowly, "The virtuous brother only knows that the girl in Gusu makes people linger, and the girl in Yangzhou also makes people think day and night. If it was really because of Qingyuan to delay your brother and me, wouldn't it be a loss. β
"Then send a soldier to meet me, otherwise they will blame me for not being hospitable." Dong Jian said and shouted, "Listen to the order, and go to invite the Qing general to drink together." β
"General, slow down!" Zhou Yunkai bowed and walked around Dong Jian.
"What, what other concerns does the virtuous brother have?" Dong Jian was slightly angry.
Zhou Yunkai's face did not change, and said, "The general might as well think about it, the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military all know that you and I will go down to Yangzhou, and Qingyuan also knows it, why did he choose a time when one person transports the carriage and horses through the necessary road?
Seeing this, Zhou Yunkai concealed his slight sweat and continued: "The general thinks about it again, it is precisely the wedding date of the daughter of the Qingyuan family and the king of Pingdong that is approaching, and the court has not heard of any place where grain and grass are needed for war. β
Zhou Yunkai talked about the pros and cons inside and outside in one breath, and asked Dong Jian to calm down and think about it, it was really like that. turned around and looked at Zhou Yunkai for a long time, and seeing his solemn expression, he finally nodded.
Dong Jian carefully observed Zhou Yunkai's expression, but saw that Zhou Yunkai was not a trace of panic and nervousness, and immediately laughed, "Brother Xian, you said it earlier, I thought you were an unenlightened person, but now I know that you are a stuffy person, okay, bustard, quickly choose a few good girls for my brother, my brother is finally in love, don't extinguish my brother's fire......!"
The old bustard smiled brightly, trembling and laughing, "Oh general, the girls who serve you are the best girls we have, if the adults don't like it, I'll call them all here, I won't serve others tonight, only the general and the adults~"
The old bustard really called the girls over, lined them up, stroked the piano and played the strings, and showed their talents. It can be seen that Zhou Yunkai is a good person, so he simply prescribes the right medicine and does what he likes.
"My lord, which one do you have a crush on, which girl has the honor to serve you~" The old bustard asked.
Zhou Yunkai only smiled shallowly, nodded and said, "It's all good." β
The old bustard laughed, called a group of flower-like girls all around, poured wine and served tea, and beat the back with vegetables, like the emperor Lao Tzu, called Zhou Yunkai to enjoy it.
Zhou Yunkai was terrified, if Dong Jian didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going, what should he do when he saw the 100,000 gold. A few glasses of wine were sent down, but I couldn't suppress my worries.
Dong Jian was also surrounded by a group of peach fat beauties. happily hugged the left and right, and said to the little soldier outside the door, "Don't care about him, if it is really as Yunkai Xian said, he knew that I went down to Yangzhou but followed on his back feet, and he was alone and only deliberately confused me, if there is really any crooked thoughts." Just let him go. Dong Jian smiled and drank another big glass. looked at the girl next to him with a smile on his face.
"Yes!" the soldier ran away.
Zhou Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his stomach was full of thoughts. I only hope that after Qingyuan, he will not encounter sand bandits and bandits and arrive in Yangzhou safely, and I also hope that when he sees Dong Jian's carriage and horse, he will detour and not bump into him without opening his eyes.
There has been no movement for a long time, I am afraid that Qingyuan has successfully walked through this dangerous road, and the worried Zhou Yunkai finally slowly relaxed his heart and toasted with Dong Jian.
Just as he was in the mood for drinking, suddenly the soldier hurried to the door.
"Report - General, General Qingyuan fainted at the door!"
What! Zhou Yunkai's eyes widened, and his heart sank.
