Chapter 1 The boy frowned, and the woman lit the stove.
Xingwu for three years.
Dunlin Dynasty.
On the third day of the lunar month, light snow.
In the territory of Xianlin County, on the riverside.
In the middle of the night, dozens of miles away from Kyoto, there is a flat boat, shaped like a fishing boat, and the inner appearance is more luxurious and comfortable than the usual fishing boat, like a family that goes out to wander.
In a word: "This boat, look, this gang must be rich!"
From west to east, the boat traveled slowly along the river in the direction of the capital of Hanzhong.
On the surface of the river in the early morning, bursts of mist appeared in the river water, hanging between the sky and the earth like a gray and white veil, and the snowflakes were silently scattered in the world, without a trace.
This kind of scene makes people feel like a blind man in it, chaotic, unable to see what awaits them in front of them, full of mystery and uneasiness!
There are a few lights hanging inside and outside the canopy on the flat boat, and when you look at the river surface, the boat flickers in the fog, and it looks very lonely.
It has a bit of "lonely shadow in the cold river, and the waning moon hangs in the air" charm.
At this time, there was light snow in the sky, and there was no bright moon in sight.
"Whew!"
"Haha!"
"The demon wind here in the capital is really strong, it's like a knife, with a burst of cold air, and you won't stop if you don't stab someone to death!"
A young man was sitting in the canopy, his hands to his lips, constantly snorting for hot air, rubbing his frozen face from time to time, looking tired and muttering some dissatisfaction in his mouth.
It seems that there are many complaints about the thief along the way, and he has suffered a crime.
There were three people on board, a young man and a woman in red, sitting on either side of the canopy.
Young people are handsome! Maybe because of his young age, he didn't grow up, he was a little less handsome, and he added a touch of beauty!
The woman in red ignored the young man's complaints, took out a fire fold from her cuff and stretched it out to the fire stove that had already been placed in front of her.
The woman leaned slightly, lowered her head, opened her mouth, looked calm, and blew into the stove unhurriedly!
I saw that her lips were red and her teeth were white, her peach blossom face, green mane and willow eyebrows, she was really a national color!
The woman in red was very tall, sitting opposite the young man, looking at the tall young man.
is so stunning, not demonic or charming, and looks more like a female bodhisattva.
In this situation, if a man meets it, he has to praise it from the bottom of his heart: "Tall, surging!"
At this time, the other person in the canopy was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Soon, the temperature in the canopy slowly rose, and there was a small stove on the riverside on a winter night, which warmed the body more than anything else!
The young man's slightly frowning brows slowly unfolded, he opened his eyes, looked at the woman and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Qiao, the one outside, but your old man in the rivers and lakes?"
"The deceased? What deceased? The rivers and lakes are too big, how can you easily run into old people, just don't be enemies. ”
"Yo!"
The woman in red, who was called "Aunt Qiao" by the teenager, teased and continued to say with a smile:
"Childe, but what do you think of the little girl outside?"
Aunt Qiao deliberately raised her volume a little, and in this canopy, where there was only the slightest sound of water, it was like thunder, which startled the young man.
The young man changed his lazy sitting posture, bowed his body and looked nervous, raised a finger to his mouth, and pointed to the woman: "Shh! Hush! Hush! ”
"Childe, what are you booing?"
"Aunt Qiao, can you make a little quieter?" The boy said without love.
"Oh, okay!" Aunt Qiao smiled indifferently, full of indifference.
Aunt Qiao glanced at the young man, she turned sideways, fell behind her and half-lay on the other side of the canopy, with a thick burden under her head, and put her head very high, and her clothes were the same as the young man's bright red tights.
The young man and young woman in this canopy are none other than Li Junshen, the second son of Li Qing, the king of the Western Realm, and Li Junshen's personal maid Aunt Qiao, although it doesn't look like a serious slave.
But they are indeed master and servant!
The western realm is located in the westernmost part of the Dunlin Dynasty, and the capital Hanzhong City is thousands of miles away, why Li Junshen is on the bank of the Xianlin County River at this time, it is the first time in his life that he has walked out of the western realm.
It all started a little over a month ago.
Early that morning, as usual, Li Jun squatted in his "small courtyard", holding a broken peach branch in his hand, boredly plucking the ants under his feet, and said with a whining mouth: "The huge palace, thousands of slaves, more than 100 courtyards, no one knows the heart."
"Pathetic! What a pity! ”
Dad traveled thousands of miles, rushed to the court, and took the eldest sister away.
The eldest brother moved out of the palace a few years ago, stationed in the barracks, trained soldiers, and rode a fierce horse to rush and rush when he went.
At that time, Aunt Qiao was also in the same posture as now, putting a rattan chair, lying under the eaves, closing her eyes and recuperating.
Until Li Jun squatted so that his legs and feet were sore, the ants had poked several to death, and he was about to stand up and learn from Aunt Qiao.
Most of his usual life is so leisurely and boring.
Just as he was about to start his own prison days, a black shadow rushed over from far and near, and one knelt in front of Li Junshen, startling him and letting him sit back on the ground.
Li Jun sat on the seat in the canopy, lifted the straw curtain with one hand, and turned his head to look at the ferryman outside the canopy.
I saw a girl standing at the stern of the boat, her face was about the same age as herself, and she had a hat on her head, because there was no yarn on the hat, which made Li Junshen see the girl's appearance clearly.
Even though Li Junshen was accustomed to seeing all kinds of beautiful women in the palace, he couldn't say in his heart when he looked at the girl: "This woman is wonderful."
The girl held a slender bamboo pole in both hands, which was held horizontally across her chest, and the bamboo poles at both ends slid into the water on the side of the boat one after the other.
There was no force, but the speed of the boat was not slow at all.
It's unusual!
It's also quirky!
Instead of tying up her hair in a hat, she let her long jet-black hair fall loose and drape over her shoulders, except that the ends of her hair were tied up with a red ribbon of satin.
gives people the feeling that Yingwu has a touch of girlish playfulness.
Li Junshen's gaze temporarily withdrew from the girl's body.
The curtain on the canopy kept the cold wind out of the boat.
He leaned his back on the board, squinted his eyes and muttered: "Late at night, the boatman is so young and looks different from ordinary people, it is difficult to say whether it is a good family."
"Childe, there are many good-looking little girls along the way, and I haven't seen your intentions, why did you come to the capital to care about this. Aunt Qiao folded her coat with her hands and pressed it under her.
The waves were turbulent, and the wind was blowing around her waist, which made her a little uncomfortable!
Along the way, my own son-in-law, except for nagging a few words that the weather is too cold, the rest of the time is careless, how can I see that I am about to arrive in the capital, and I am starting to worry!
"From the moment I got on the boat, I always felt uneasy."
Li Jun Shen Nunu continued: "I always feel that something bad is about to happen."
"Childe went out of the West for the first time, maybe it was because he was not adapted!"
"Aunt Qiao, why did you say that my father asked me to enter Beijing in such a hurry."
"The soldier who delivered the letter, I know him, he is the guard of his father's army, and his martial arts are extraordinary."
Li Junshen's tone was a little low!
He sighed and said, "The western border is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it only took him three days."
Thousands of miles in a day, eight hundred in a night.
Horses can be changed, but people are not!
It can be guessed that the soldier who delivered the letter, if he hadn't had a martial arts and a good body, would have died of exhaustion on horseback in this way.
That big hole in the ass, he can see a real one! The cloth for other places is very new.
It seems that it is not just a matter of changing horses!
"Childe, but I'm worried that something happened to Jingzhong?" Aunt Qiao lay still, closed her eyes and echoed Li Junshen's topic.
"Dunlin has only been established for three years, and the saint is in the prime of life, there will be no changes in Beijing, and it is even more impossible for my father to have anything to do now! What's more, there is still the great enemy of Akahara, and I don't know how many years this battle will take? It's not time for the birds to be exhausted, the good bow to hide, the cunning rabbit to die, and the lackeys to cook. ”
Li Junshen patted his face with his hand to sober himself up a little, and continued:
"Otherwise, the letter from the guards will be sent to the eldest brother's army, instead of appearing in my hands."
Li Junchen is the second son of the prince who has nothing to do all day.
His father was named the king of Dunlin with a different surname for his fierce military exploits.
He is in charge of the three counties in the western realm, and his power is monstrous!
But he is not the only king with a different surname who is in charge of the army, there are two other ones!
The sky is falling, and smashing is the first to smash, the tall brother has nothing to do with himself!
"That son, what's the matter of sorrow?" Aunt Qiao smiled at the corner of her mouth, a little perfunctory, and there was no worry on her face.
If outsiders are here, they will feel that Aunt Qiao doesn't look like a maid at all!
Her own son-in-law was bored, and she couldn't see any anxiety on her face, she was completely an outsider.
His face was on: "Childe, what are you worried about? You say, "Slave and maid just listen!" I want the slave to come up with ideas, but the slave doesn't have the brain! ”
Li Junshen looked at the woman lying opposite him, the other party's eyes were closed, and he couldn't see what Aunt Qiao was thinking in her heart.
He didn't know when his aunt entered the palace, but he knew that she had often appeared by his side since he could remember, and as long as she appeared in the palace, she would stay by his side and never leave.
And Dad didn't treat Aunt Qiao as any other slave in the palace at all, but was very polite.
What's more, thousands of miles away, Dad just let himself take Aunt Qiao with him, and did not arrange other guards to follow him into Beijing, obviously believing that Aunt Qiao has the ability to protect his own safety.
All aspects of the information in this show that Aunt Qiao is not simple.
Fools can see that Li Junshen, a shrewd person, has no reason not to know.
