Chapter 239: Shy
"Didn't the mistress once be a princess? Then she and the queen are rivals in love...... But also, she won't go back to the palace for no reason......"
Lixu couldn't understand this girl's thinking anymore.
"Then let's continue to go to the Floating Cloud Country? Again...... Brother Lixu, isn't that not far away? Picture-sharpened, he suddenly saw two handsome horses galloping in the distance.
Li Xu looked at it, the figure a little earlier, wasn't it Situ Jingheng?
"Is that Xi Zhijun?" Pictured with a burst of surprise, he pointed to the man behind him.
Li Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes, the characteristics of that guy could be recognized even if he was blind. It's just, how could the two of them be together.
This side Ruhua has already climbed on the horse's back, and hurriedly said: "Quick, let's follow!" ”
After saying that, she was already shouting "Lord" and waving the whip a few times. Lixu couldn't, so she had to climb on the horse as well.
The air in the dead of winter was still very cold, and the frost wind hit the face like a knife at such a high speed.
Situ Jingheng hurried back to Beiqi, he had already traveled for a day, and he saw that the horse was also tired. People were also in a trance, and they even heard what seemed to be someone behind them calling "Lord".
At first, he thought it was an illusion, but in the end, even Xi Zhijun stopped, and he had to stop his horse.
It was not easy for the painting to catch up, and after taking a breath, he flipped off the horse, and said on one knee: "The painting has seen the master." ”
Li Xu also caught up and saluted as well.
Situ Jingheng was taken aback to see Ruhua and Lixu here, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Li Xu said weakly: "We came out to find you." Since you said that you have entered the country of floating clouds, there is no information, and the eldest brother is worried about the Lord, so he sent the two of us to find it. ”
In a few sentences, he put the blame on Ci You, and got a picturesque look of appreciation.
"Brother Zhijun?" Ruhua beckoned to Xi Zhijun twice.
When Xi Zhijun heard her say this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, but he didn't answer.
Ruhua carefully observed the two of them, and saw that there were still blue stubble on their chins, so they knew that they had already traveled a lot. He asked, "Where is the Lord going?" ”
Situ Jingheng said: "The queen passed away, I wanted to rush back to the funeral." ”
The details of the matter Situ Luochen had already flown the pigeon to pass the book to him, and while sighing, he also wanted to go back once.
Ruhua thought about it, this queen mother can be regarded as the lord's sister-in-law, and it is natural for him to go back to the funeral. It's just such a long way, can you get there?
"Now, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" Lixu said.
Situ Jingheng said in a deep voice: "Whether you can catch up or not, it is also a piece of my heart." ”
Ruhua looked around and said in surprise: "What about the mastermother?" ”
Xi Zhijun didn't wait for Situ Jingheng to answer, and said, "I'm recuperating from my injuries." ”
Li Xu had already guessed that Shu Weiliang was in the palace, so Xi Zhijun rushed to Beiqi with Situ Jingheng. Otherwise, Queen Beiqi passed away, what kind of did he have to do?
But seeing that the two of them deliberately concealed it, he didn't break it, but said: "In this case, I and Ruhua will escort the Lord back to China." It's good to have an explanation with the eldest brother. ”
Situ Jingheng glanced at Xi Zhijun, and seeing that he didn't have any objections, he nodded and said, "It's okay, let's take a rest after going to the town in front of us, change horses and set off again." ”
Ruhua's heart jumped with joy, and she whispered cheers and came to Xi Zhijun's side, smiling sweetly at him.
Xi Zhijun turned his head slightly.
Picturesque was stunned for a moment, and then pouted.
Li Xu said: "Picturesque, your horse has a bit of a problem, can you sit with me?" ”
Picturesque examined her horse and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"Horseshoe."
Ruhua glanced at it and said, "It's really a bit of a problem, but it should be able to stick to the town ahead." Brother Zhijun, shall I sit with you? ”
Xi Zhijun glanced at her lightly and refused: "My horse is already very tired, let's go." ”
As he spoke, regardless of the picturesque reaction behind him, he had already moved forward.
Li Xu slowly caught up with the picturesque playfully and said, "How is it?" Hot face sticks to people's cold butts, right? ”
Picturesque said unconvinced: "He was originally such a character, and he was the same for everyone." Hum. ”
So saying, he chased after the horse.
When the four of them arrived in the town ahead, it was already nearly evening. The weather is cold, and the snow is drifting slowly. It's so cold that people shiver. Picturesque picked an inn. However, only three rooms remained.
"I don't live with people." Xi Zhijun said simply.
"I don't live with anyone." Situ Jingheng has a noble status, so he naturally said the same.
Ruhua glanced at the two of them, and then set her eyes on Li Xu. Li Xu spread her hands and said, "Don't look at me, I don't care, but people don't want to live with people." ”
Picturesque said angrily: "Then what should I do?" Do I live outside? On such a cold day, the inn is full, where will there be vacant rooms? Besides, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to live elsewhere as a girl? ”
Li Xu gave her a strange look and said disdainfully, "What danger can you have?" ”
"But...... You can look elsewhere. ”
Li Xu had already taken the key, and Xiao Er was about to go upstairs, and said lightly: "You think about it slowly, we three big men, whose room are you willing to sleep in?" ”
When Xi Zhijun heard him say this, he hurriedly repeated again: "I don't live with people. ”
Situ Jingheng said with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't live with anyone either." ”
Picturesque watched as three big men left her alone in the hall and swaggered upstairs, hating her so much. But she couldn't, so she had to follow and chase Xiao Er and ask, "Is there any other room?" Even if it's a lower room. ”
"Girl, look at the weather, let's not mention the poor ventilation conditions in the lower room, which has frozen you. Now I don't even have a room. Several of the guests came early, so there were three more rooms, which was already extremely good. If you look elsewhere, it must be overcrowded. Xiao Er was embarrassed.
Ruhua was stunned, thinking about Xi Zhijun's appearance, even if he ran in to sleep, he would definitely be kicked out. And Situ Jingheng is her lord again, and when the time comes, the master mother knows that the two are in the same room, and she doesn't want her own life with her character?
Come to think of it, only Lixu is the most suitable.
Although he is a man, he has known him for so many years, and he is usually not very close to women, and the martial arts of the two are not too far apart.
Thinking like this, she had no choice but to follow Lixu into the room.
Li Xu glanced at the furnishings in the room and said to Xiao Er: "Let's have two more quilts, someone is bound to make a bunk today." ”
"Yo, sleeping on the ground on such a cold day, you can't stand it no matter how you say it, right?" Xiao Er said worriedly.
Picturesque yelled angrily: "According to your meaning, can't the two of us sleep together?" Believe it or not, I'll stab you to death with a sword!"
Although she was holding a sword, because she was beautiful and young, she didn't really show her murderous aura, and Xiao Er had also seen people of all colors, so she didn't feel afraid. just laughed and said: "It turned out that the villain was wrong, and the quilt will arrive in a while." Dinner will be sent to the house, or will you go down to eat? ”
Li Xu said: "Take it in." ”
"Okay, let's rest, I won't bother." Xiao Er said, then retreated, and carefully helped the two of them to bring the door.
Ruhua put down the sword, feeling that the room was very cold, and the feet were wet, as if they were soaking in ice water. Then he found a charcoal fire.
Li Xu said: "You go down to the kitchen and find the one that is burned, otherwise even if you want charcoal, how can you light it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er, who had just gone out, knocked on the door twice and came in and said, "I almost forgot, I want to help the two of you put the charcoal basin on it." ”
Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he conveniently took the basin out. "Wait a minute, you two."
The picture was so cold that she stomped her feet twice and kept rubbing her hands together. Seeing her like this, Li Xu stepped forward, picked up the hand that was red from the cold and rubbed it twice, then put it to his mouth and sighed, and said angrily: "You are wearing too little, right?" ”
"I've dressed enough, and if I wear more, I won't be able to walk." Ruhua was a little embarrassed to be held by him like this. But she is a child of the rivers and lakes, no more twisted than the deep boudoir woman. Thinking that the two have known each other since childhood, their affection is no better than ordinary friends, they are friends who share life and death. So he generously said, "Aren't you the same yourself, your face is red from the cold." ”
Li Xu couldn't help but touch her face, "Is there one?" ”
Looking at him picturesquely, she saw that his handsome face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were not as sharp as usual. There was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, which was warmer than the sun, so he couldn't help but lower his head and pull out his hand.
Seeing that she seemed to be a little shy, Li Xu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and coughed. He turned his back and said, "I'll go out for a walk." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for a picturesque response, turned around and opened the door and walked out.
Picturesque looked at his back and looked at the room again. Turned around and sat down on the bed. The shopkeeper quickly brought the charcoal fire to work. There are many people staying in the hotel, and he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but he still has a professional smiling face: "What about the little brother?" ”
Ruhua knew that he was asking casually, but he didn't intend to answer. I only moved a stool to sit on the brazier plate, took off my shoes and socks and dried them. Xiao Er was very busy, and he really didn't care if she answered her question, so he went out and closed the door.
And in Situ Jingheng's room, he received the flying pigeon message again.
He opened the note, and Situ Luochen's handwriting appeared in front of him. It is to the effect that Shu Weiliang is now recuperating in the palace. So that he should not be in a hurry.
Hearing the word recuperation, Situ Jingheng couldn't help frowning. Since the day she recovered, Su Weiliang has no internal strength. And lost his memory. I don't know what kind of torture she was subjected to at the hands of that bastard Li Yan, she must have been seriously injured, right?
Thinking about it this way, I feel even more depressed. With a sigh, he opened the window guard and let the cold wind blow again and again.
