"That's it?"
"That's all!"
"I really don't understand you two!" Chang Wanshu's arms tightened and she muttered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At a certain moment in her heart, she even felt a little jealous. Although she and Han Chongyun's two marriages are near, and they can be called talented and beautiful, and they are harmonious. However, the feelings between each other have never been as fiery as between my sister and Shi Yanbao, so blazing that they can be completely irrational, and they can not care about success or failure!
"Why do you have to understand, life circumstances are different!" Chang Wanying patted Chang Wanshu's hand as if she had suddenly become a sister, and said with a smile.
"You're so beautiful!" Chang Wanshu instantly realized her gaffe, took a few steps back like a frightened cat, and danced her claws, "I hope he thinks the same as you at the moment!
Chang Wanying smiled indifferently and said in a low voice: "There are some words, you just know it in your heart, so why say it to your face?"
"Hard mouth, there will be a time when you cry in the future!" The elder sister couldn't stand her self-absorption, pouted, and quickly turned her head out the window.
Outside the window, it is already late spring, and the apricot blossoms that have faded their colors are like snow falling.
The fallen flowers are colorful, and the green willows are like weaving.
On the bank of the Lushui River, Ning Ziming grabbed the reins of a war horse with one hand and walked slowly along the pale white sandy beach. Already past Youzhou, Han Jing's home is said to be in the majestic fortified city twenty miles behind him. However, she wanted to chase after everyone for a ride, and refused to wave goodbye.
Zhao Kuangyin, who has always acted neatly along the way, has also become a bit of a mother-in-law at this moment. Standing in the shade of the tree next to the official road, he said polite words over and over again, but he never gave up his heart and jumped directly on the horse.
Chai Rong is from the past, so he casually swept his eyes, and knew that this pair of brothers and sisters were afraid that they had already had feelings for each other, so they simply said hello to Ning Ziming, and first took his men to the river to feed the livestock. Although Ning Ziming has little experience, he is also a little thorough, and silently led the horse to keep up with the team.
Unlike Chai Rong, at this moment, he doesn't have any heart to care about whether there is affection between others. He just wanted to find enough excuses to go north alone as soon as possible.
For him, the next road, walking alone, is better.
The two newly-met brothers were very righteous, and after learning that he might be Shi Yanbao, the second prince of the previous dynasty, instead of immediately cutting off relations with him, they tried their best to help him hide his identity and help him avoid possible risks.
Therefore, comparing his heart to his heart, he didn't want to add more trouble to the two brothers. The place where my father was imprisoned is far away in Liaodong, and there are nearly thousands of miles away from Youzhou City behind him at this moment. In case of alarming the Khitan government along the way, even if the three brothers are covered in iron, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape. (Note 1)
However, he didn't know how to refuse the kindness of his two brothers. Chai Rong had already told him very clearly in private that in addition to making money to subsidize his father-in-law's family, another purpose of leading the caravan northward this time was to secretly explore the terrain, roads, and even the reality of the Khitan soldiers and horses in Youzhou and even Liaodong. Even if you haven't bowed to him on the way, you will go to Liaoyang in person.
Zhao Kuangyin was even more straightforward, and directly announced that he himself ran outside to avoid the limelight because he accidentally broke one of the legs of the eldest son of the country's uncle family because he was meddling in Bianliang City. In a short period of time, the farther you run, the safer it is. As for Han Jing, it was the result of him taking care of another idle matter on the way. After saving the person, thinking that he couldn't go back to his home anyway, he simply did it to the end, and decided to send the girl all the way back to Youzhou.
"But my idle work is very different from the first two after all!" Ning Ziming thought sullenly after glancing back at the two figures in the shade of the tree.
His intuition told him that what his second brother was saying was not a lie. Love to fight for others is the biggest problem of this Zhao Gongzi. If it weren't for that, the three brothers wouldn't have had the opportunity to kill thieves side by side in Yi County. However, after discounting the legs of the eldest son of the uncle Li Yejia, with the strength and connections of the Zhao family, he lost more gold and silver, and spent more thought, and he could always settle the disaster slowly. Rescued an unknown woman from the hands of the thieves and escorted her thousands of miles, and after it was passed out, it would definitely be regarded as a good talk, and it would be beneficial to Second Brother Zhao. Only accompanying himself to Liaoyang is purely a troublemaker, even if he can return to the Central Plains safely in the end, in case he is bitten, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect him well.
"Don't worry, Brother Wei and Yuen Long are both understanding people. I really found that the limelight was wrong, and I must withdraw decisively!"
"Big, big brother!" Ning Ziming was taken aback, raised his head, and said with a bitter face, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have told you who I am......!
Halfway through the words, Chai Rong quickly waved his hand and interrupted, "Then the two of us who are elder brothers have to follow you, lest you little guy be impulsive and overwhelmed! As for concealing your identity from the two of us, hehe, do you think that if you don't say it yourself, the two of us will never think that Zheng Ziming is Ning Ziming? Anyway, we are all disciples of the generals, and in the past six months, a general Xiao Ning, who is good at making flying axes, has suddenly appeared in the Wusheng army, and we can't hear any news?!"
He spoke slowly, and deliberately lowered his voice, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. However, the gaze in his eyes was as bright as a blade, so that the young man's mind could not be hidden at all.
"That, that, that's different after all!" Ning Ziming was made weak by Chai Rong's sharp gaze, lowered his head, and muttered insistence. "I, if I look for it in time, find an excuse, go first, eldest brother, eldest brother and second brother are ......"
Chai Rong glanced at him again, and interrupted with a smile again, "Nonsense! What has already been done, how can there be so many ifs? You look back and look at your second brother." Take a closer look and see the person he sent back to Youzhou thousands of miles away. Do you think he is a person who will give up easily because he has scruples in his heart? Then you really look down on him, and you really look down on me and yourself!"
"Second brother, ...... he?" Ning Ziming was confused when he heard this, turned back according to his words, and carefully looked at Zhao Kuangyin and Han Jing who were saying goodbye again. I have to admit that these two people are extremely compatible. The male is born with broad shoulders and broad backs, burly and majestic. Women are also born with slim waists, tall and generous. At this time, they face each other and stand under the shade of the tree, like two trees that have grown side by side for thousands of years. No one can bear to tear them apart.
"Don't patronize and envy others, take a closer look at Han Jing. Could she really be just the daughter of a Youzhou carpentry merchant as she said?" Chai Rong's words came again, faintly with a hint of subtlety. "Whether you walk the rivers and lakes, or stand in the court, learning to observe people is the first priority. No matter how good a person is at disguising, his words can deceive you, but it is difficult for his eyes to deceive you, let alone talk and demeanor, which have been cultivated for a long time. Unless someone like you has completely forgotten the past, whether you were once rich and noble, or a pawn of a peddler, as long as you look carefully, you can see it clearly without too much effort!"
Ning Ziming's eyes straightened when he heard this, staring at Han Jing's figure from a distance, and muttered a question, "You, you mean Han, Sister Han, she was born in an official family? Then, isn't he the daughter of an important minister of the enemy country? That, that ......?"
Suddenly, his scalp tightened, and he instinctively wanted to go for an axe. Chai Rong quickly stepped forward half a step forward and hugged his shoulder, "She is her, and her family is her family." If she has malicious intentions towards us, I am afraid that as soon as we enter the territory of Liao, we will be arrested. There's no chance of getting here!"
"Oh!" Ning Ziming blushed, embarrassed by his naivety and recklessness.
In his previous knowledge, since Youzhou is the land of the enemy country at this moment, the officials of Youzhou and their children, whether they are Khitans or Han people, are their own life and death enemies. As long as they have a chance with each other, they will inevitably kill each other first and then quickly. However, he now knows that his two righteous brothers think differently from him. The two of them had already guessed Han Jing's origin, but as if the matter was insignificant, they neither asked nor took the initiative to mention it.
"There are two families surnamed Han in Youzhou who are highly valued by the emperor of Liao, one is Han Yanhui and his descendants, and the other is Han Zhigu's son and nephew, both of whom are famous. Since your second brother even dares to send the daughter of the Han family thousands of miles away, how can he care about provoking you, the prince of the former dynasty, any more?" Chai Rong patted him lightly, then let go of his hand, his smile with undisguised confidence. "At the beginning, it was our emperor of the Central Plains who took the initiative to cede Yanyun, not the Central Plains betrayed by the people of Yanyun's sixteen states. Therefore, to be more angry, our generation should lead a large army to the Northern Expedition and take back the sixteen states of Yanyun from the hands of the Khitans, instead of treating the people of Yanyun as aliens. (Note 2)
"Hmm!" Ning Ziming was like an initiation, took half a step back, and solemnly saluted Chai Rong, "Thank you, big brother!
"You don't have to be polite. I'm also more than a decade older than you, so I can see more clearly!" Chai Rong smiled and leaned sideways, then waved his hand gently, "When you're really your age, your knowledge may not be as good as yours." Well, stop thinking, one fence with three stakes. Since our brother has already slammed his head on the ground, there is no reason for you to go into the tiger's den alone. Quickly pack up your mount and get ready to go. Huh, why did Miss Han come with her again?"
In the latter sentence, he was purely talking to himself. When Ning Ziming heard this, he turned his head in surprise, and sure enough, he saw that Han Jing, who had reluctantly said goodbye to Zhao Kuangyin before, actually led the horse to the river beach. Finding that she had become the focus of everyone's attention, she first smiled softly, and then said generously: "I'll go too! Anyway, I've already arrived at the doorstep, so it doesn't make much difference if I go back a few days early or a few days later!"
"Huh?" Chai Rong frowned slightly, glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, whose face was flushed, and then looked at Han Jing, who was down-to-earth and generous, and finally didn't say a word. Turn your head and fly on your horse.
"Let's go! Let's go! It's no difference if you go back a few days early and a few days later, and it doesn't make a difference if you don't go back or not! Zhao Gongzi, you go slowly. We're all one step ahead!" everyone laughed and jumped on their mounts, shook the reins, and galloped across the wooden bridge over the Lushui River.
Behind him, the warm sunlight sprinkled the entire riverbank.
