Chapter 122: Sister and Brother Reunited
The group walked for more than ten days, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Shangcai, when they entered Zhaoping County, Xiang Ye had a feeling that he felt as if there was a person in the distance behind the team, and he had been following them.
"Someone is following us, be careful!" Xiang Ye rode on horseback and whispered to Meng Su and the others beside him. As he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the shops on both sides of the street, as if he was very interested in the shops in Zhaoping County.
The team moved forward slowly, and the cart pulling Li You's body made a "creaking" sound, and the wheels crushed on the bluestone-paved road, jolting twice from time to time, shaking the coffin pulled by the car from side to side.
Xiang Ye glanced back at the coffin, the weather was hot, although the coffin was covered with moisture-proof cornstarch, but the corpse water that came out of Li You's body still leached out, leaving a puddle of water stains on the board of the cart, faintly exuding a faint smell.
The pedestrians passing by the line all looked at the coffins on the cart in surprise, some of them had sensitive noses, and they covered their noses with their sleeves in disgust when they passed by the cart.
More than 100 people walked slowly in the city, Zhaoping had already been occupied by the Chu army, when breaking through Yongqiu, Xiang Ye had been promoted by Xiang Yu to be the same general as Long He and others, Wei Feng and Bai Fu were also named partial generals because of their military exploits, only Shi Lei, although he was brave in battle, but Xiang Yu really didn't like what he did to seduce other ** sons, so he still ignored him and let him continue to be Xiang Ye's personal soldier in front of his tent.
The highest position of the Chu army defending the city is only a thousand households, and when they see a general coming here, it is too late to slap the horse, where can they dare to hinder them in the slightest.
In the group of people under Xiang Ye, Wei Feng has always been steady, and after the team entered the city, he walked in the front to arrange food and lodging for more than 100 people.
After walking in the city for most of the circle, Xiang Ye finally saw the war horse that Wei Feng was riding, and the war horse was tied to the old locust tree outside the door of a pavilion, but there was no trace of Wei Feng.
They walked forward a little further, only to hear the sound of a quarrel coming from the building, one of which seemed to be Wei Feng's.
Xiang Ye turned over and jumped off the war horse, and walked towards the pavilion with Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng.
When I entered the building, I saw Wei Feng standing in front of the wooden case, arguing with the shopkeeper of the building standing inside.
"I'm going to book all your rooms here, and it's not that I don't give you money, how can anyone do business like yours? Do you want to push the business outward? Wei Feng has obviously been grinding here for a long time, when Xiang Ye came in, Wei Feng's face had become a little ugly, his hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he saw that if the shopkeeper didn't agree to let them move in, he would draw his sword and split the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's fat and flesh were trembling, he looked at Wei Feng tremblingly, and said with a pitiful face: "Official, it's not that the villain doesn't let you move in, but the master has instructions, if you come, you must not be allowed to live here, the master has other arrangements!" ”
"!" Wei Feng was really angry now, pulled out his sword, and slashed a sword on the wooden case in front of the shopkeeper, and the corner of the wooden case was suddenly slashed out by the long sword.
The sword slashed down, and the shopkeeper's legs weakened, and the crotch of his legs loosened, and a stream of liquid with a smell of suffocation jumped from between his legs to the crotch of his pants, dripping to the ground. He slumped to the ground like a bun of freshly steamed meat buns with a large filling and thin skin.
"Hurry up and prepare the room, if you slow down, beware of Lao Tzu demolishing your shop!" Wei Feng held the hilt of his sword and shouted as he glared at the shopkeeper who was limp on the ground.
When he turned his face with the shopkeeper, a patrol team of Chu Jun ran outside the store, this team of Chu Jun wanted to rush into the store to see who was making trouble, but when he arrived at the door, he saw a general in the store who was angry, and near the door, there was a general with a gloating face behind his back and watching the show.
The Chu army was stupid, they had the heart to step forward to stop the angry generals, but they didn't dare to bear the charge of disrespecting the officials, so they had to stand at the door and look at each other, with a face full of embarrassment.
Xiang Ye heard the sound of running at the door, turned his head and glanced out, and happened to see a team of dozens of Chu Jun standing outside the door and poking his head into the store.
He smiled, took two steps forward and patted Wei Feng's shoulder and said, "Forget it, people open shops, we live in stores, they don't let us live, let's change them, there's no need to be angry with them." ”
Wei Feng saw that Xiang Ye stepped forward to persuade him, and he couldn't say anything more, so he thrust his long sword into the scabbard, snorted angrily, turned around and followed Xiang Ye towards the door.
"Please stay, two of you!" The four of them were just about to step out of the store, and a person turned out of the inner hall of the hall and shouted at their backs: "My master asked the villain to wait for General Xiang Ye here, I don't know who the two are ......?" ”
Xiang Ye and the others turned their heads and looked at the person who was shouting behind them, only to see that the person was dressed in a dark cloth cloth, about thirty years old, with a pair of slightly narrowed Danfeng eyes flashing with the brilliance of wisdom, and slightly thick lips, which made him look a little honest and honest.
In the Qin period, the cloth was not as expensive as the dye, and ordinary civilians could only wear pure white linen clothes, like this, wearing deep cloth clothes, were either descendants of the official eunuch family, or a member of a wealthy family.
"This gentleman, I don't know where your master is?" Xiang Ye was also a little dissatisfied with the refusal of the pavilion to let them stay, turned around and clasped his fists and saluted the man in Tsing Yi and said, "Since I knew that we were going to pass through here, I am afraid that it is not a gentleman's work to hide his head and show his tail." ”
"I'm not a gentleman in the first place!" Before the man in Tsing Yi could reply, a crisp female voice came out of the back hall of the building, and as the female voice came out, a woman in a fiery red shirt walked out of the back hall, smiled at Xiang Ye and said: "The slave family was originally a little woman, why do you want to be a big husband?" ”
"Sister!" After the woman came out, Xiang Ye's eyes widened, and he shouted, walked forward in three steps and two steps, regardless of whether there were others in the building, grabbed the woman's little hand and said, "Where have you been these days?" Why did you leave me alone in Xingyang without even saying hello? Do you know that many people are going to kill me after that? If it weren't for the fact that your brother was born to Yushu Linfeng and a talent, those killers would all be fascinated by my demeanor after seeing them, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me at this time! ”
The woman who came out was not someone else, it was Chi Xue'e who said goodbye in Xingyang at the beginning, when Xiang Ye held her hand, she was slightly shocked, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. But Xiang Ye immediately called out "sister", and she felt a lot calmer in her heart, letting him hold his little hand, just looking at Xiang Ye and smiling stupidly.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for many days, and you are beautiful again!" Xiang Ye looked at Chi Xue'e's tender little face and said jokingly: "These days, I must have been harassed by a prodigal teenager, right? ”
Chi Xue'e blushed shyly, glanced at Xiang Ye and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but you have become a flamboyant tongue." Even my sister dares to joke, she really deserves to fight! ”
"Hey, hey!" Xiang Ye scratched his head a little embarrassed, smirked twice, and then said to Chi Xue'e as if he remembered something: "By the way, sister, when I entered the city, I felt that someone was always following behind, was it the person you sent?" ”
Chi Xue'e smiled slightly and replied: "That's natural, if you don't send someone to keep an eye on you, if you don't come here, you will meet someone's little lady, then wouldn't you wait for my sister." ”
Hearing Chi Xue'e say this, a stone that had been hanging in Xiang Ye's heart could be regarded as falling to the ground, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
"There are so many of you, and you have carried the coffin again, it is really not convenient to live here." Chi Xue'e took Xiang Ye's hand, let him get closer to him and said: "My sister has prepared a house in the city, there are quite a few rooms, you all live there, if you are not in a hurry to go to Cai, how about accompanying your sister here for a few more days this time?" ”
Xiang Ye first nodded again and again with a smile on his face, then looked out of the door twice as if he remembered something very important, and finally sighed and said, "I don't have any problems, but I don't know if Master Li can hold on!" ”
Hearing Xiang Ye mention Li You, Chi Xue'e sighed abruptly and said, "Master Li is a good person, and he also owes his brother to being benevolent and righteous, so he will send him back to his homeland thousands of miles away. By the way, there happens to be an acquaintance waiting for my brother in the house I bought, and there is another person I want to introduce to you. ”
"Oh? Acquaintance? Who is it? Xiang Ye heard that there was an acquaintance, so he turned his head sideways and looked at Chi Xue'e with a suspicious face and asked.
Chi Xue'e smiled at her and said, "He won't let me tell you, saying that he wants to see you and have a good conversation with you." ”
Xiang Ye nodded, and a sharp brilliance flashed in his eyes, but this brilliance quickly disappeared, replaced by a harmless smile: "Sister, please lead the way, presumably this friend is also my acquaintance, don't ask now, we'll see you later." ”
As he spoke, Xiang Ye and the others followed Chi Xue'e out of the building. The man in Tsing Yi who had stopped Xiang Ye earlier walked at the end with his head bowed, looking respectful.
After leaving the hall, Xiang Ye greeted Meng Su and Bai Fu, who had been waiting outside, and the two hurriedly led the team to follow.
"Sister Chi Xue'e, why are you here?" Meng Su arrived in front of Xiang Ye, and when she saw Chi Xue'e, she was stunned at first, and then asked in some surprise.
Red Blood nodded at Meng Su, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Meng was also here, just now I was still thinking, why didn't I see Miss Meng when I saw my brother, but I didn't expect you to wait outside the store, I knew this was the case, I would not have said so many things with Xiang Ye in the hall." ”
"Meng Su, my sister said that there is an acquaintance who wants to see us, and it must be someone we know very well." Without waiting for Meng Su to speak, Xiang Ye turned around, glanced at her and said, "Don't lose your courtesy after a while!" ”
