Chapter Seventy-Seven: Only Now
Zhao Li sneered, "I think you look like a bad person." ”
With his jade-like fingertips, he tapped Xu Qing's forehead. Xu Qing was immediately happy, picked up Zhao Li, walked to the couch and put it down. Zhao Li lay down, half-sat down again, took off his coat, and handed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing hung Zhao Li's clothes on the wooden shelf, Zhao Li lifted the quilt to cover her body, curled up with her back to Xu Qing, and didn't say a word. After Xu Qing finished changing clothes, he lay on the couch, facing Zhao Li's back, and moved the futon over to cover it, which was not too wide. Zhao Li didn't have a cover, and he hurriedly recaptured it back to its original place.
Xu Qing moved over again, and Zhao Li regained the futon. The two held each other for a moment, and each smiled.
Zhao Li turned around and said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, why are you like a child, fooling around!"
Xu Qing said: "I didn't mess around, you were the one who pulled my quilt." Why can't I cover my own quilt?"
Zhao Liden said angrily: "Then you can cover it alone! I'll go." ”
So she was about to get up and stay, Xu Qing pulled her back and hugged her tightly. Funny to her: "You know that I am teasing you, but you are pretending to be angry, and I pity you, good and bad." ”
Zhao Li smiled like a flower, and the two of them were piled together. It is said that ordinary men and women need to pass through the door before they can do the things of husband and wife, even if they are skin-to-skin, they must not be contaminated. And Xu Qing and Zhao Li ignored it completely, although it was not excessive, but they also touched each other and talked about each other, and they were very harmonious. There is no distinction between men and women, only by true will.
The sun rises in the east, Zhao Li is hazy, and he doesn't see the person next to him. Touching his forehead, he felt dizzy, but he didn't know what he did last night, but he remembered talking to Xu Qing too late. On a whim, they went to the kitchen to steal wine, and the two returned to the guest room and drank endlessly.
At the moment, I didn't see Xu Qing's figure, and I thought to myself that I slept late last night, why did Brother Xu get up so early today? Could it be that something happened? didn't freshen up, just ran outside the house, looked around, and shouted Xu Qing's name.
Outside the house, Xiao Er walked upstairs, and Zhao Li caught him and asked him where Xu Qing was. He said, "The guest officer the girl spoke of must be in the kitchen." ”
Zhao Li wondered: "What is he doing inside?"
Xiao Er replied: "The little one doesn't know, I saw the objective walking to the backyard, and the little one asked him, and he asked me where the kitchen was." ”
Zhao Li covered her mouth and chuckled: "I just went last night, and I forgot about it today, it's really a good memory." ”
Xiao Er said, "What did the girl say last night?"
Zhao Li hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense." Alright, you go to work. ”
Xiao Er retired. Zhao Li went downstairs down the stairs, but at this time she was extremely curious, walked into the backyard, and went to the kitchen house, but did not step into the house. only peeked secretly in front of the door, but did not see Xu Qing's shadow, but saw the cook. Zhao Li went into the room to ask the cook, and the cook pointed back.
Zhao Li took a look, and saw a back squatting by the back door, who was Xu Qing?
Zhao Li walked there, and when he saw that Xu Qing was focused, he teased loudly: "What is Brother Xu doing here?"
Xu Qingden was frightened, turned his head and shouted: "You can't be quiet, you want to bluff people to death!"
Zhao Li pursed his lips and said, "What are you doing?"
took a closer look, but saw Xu Qing cooking chicken. Zhao Li said: "Yo, I didn't expect Brother Xu to have this ability." ”
Xu Qing said: "There are many things you can't think of." I talked late last night, forgot about it for a while, and woke up in the morning to remember. My best Mo Shangyunkai chicken has not been cooked for you to taste. ”
Zhao Li covered his mouth and smiled: "Mo Shangyun Kaiji? I have never heard of this." ”
Xu Qing said: "If you don't say that you daughters were born in the prosperous imperial capital, what you have seen is very thin. This is a famous dish in the rivers and lakes of the Southern Continent, don't you even know this? ”
Zhao Li said angrily: "Yes, how powerful your brother Xu is." I, Zhao Li, am lonely and unheard, I have never seen the world, how can I know these flowers hidden at home? Don't cook them for me, those who have never seen the world are worthy of these?"
After saying that, I will go. Xu Qing hurriedly put down the hairless boy chicken, grabbed Zhao Li and said, "You see that you are angry again, I just said it was funny, you are serious?
Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you have any unique skills in the future, you have to tell me to know." If I wait for others to ask me, won't I be ashamed to die if I don't answer three questions? ”
Xu Qing said: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”
Zhao Li hurriedly walked away and said, "You get yours, there is a smell of chicken on my body, I can't stand it." ”
As he spoke, he went outside. Xu Qing shook his head and sighed, secretly thinking: "It seems that I still can't get rid of the princess's illness, and I want to be pampered and loved." ”
Continuing to tinker with the chickens, Zhao Li went back to the house to freshen up, and then returned to the backyard. Seeing that Xu Qing was still inside, steaming chicken, the aroma was fragrant. Zhao Li became more and more hungry, and he couldn't bear to go in, so in order to offset this hunger, he raised his sword and used martial arts. Make a few moves in the courtyard to polish the time.
Not for long. Xu Qing came out with a cooked chicken, Zhao Li hurriedly dropped his sword, and hurried over to ask, "What is this. .. Mo Shang. What is Yunkai chicken done?"
Xu Qing ignored her, just holding the porcelain plate, running into the house, muttering: "Don't say it, my hands are about to burn, let me put down this Laoshzi." ”
When I arrived at the guest table, I put down the chicken, sat down and wiped my sweat. Zhao Li couldn't close his mouth with joy, and mocked: "How do you know that you take a tray, the chicken that has just come out of the pot, of course it is hot? ”
Xu Qing said angrily: "Isn't it that I was in a hurry to give you a taste, and I forgot it for a while, and I still talk cool things here? What's wrong with the people who practice martial arts? Those are also ordinary people who eat grains and grains! Isn't it bad to burn your hands?"
Zhao Li didn't seem to hear it, but just carried a wooden chopstick and put the chicken in his mouth. Xu Qing hurriedly said: "You slow down, be careful of burning your mouth." ”
Zhao Li blew lightly, put it to his lips and licked it. I didn't think it was hot, so I put it in my mouth and chewed it, and said to Xu Qing: "You think I'm like you, like a child." Look, you only took a pair of wooden chopsticks, don't you use them yourself?"
Xu Qing hurriedly went back to the kitchen, took the chopsticks and came back, looking at Zhao Li constantly using the dishes, and looking at himself, his eyes were full of mockery. Xu Qing didn't pay attention to it, and made a morning of dishes, and now he was tired and hungry. Picked up the chicken nuggets, put them in his mouth and ate them, and asked Zhao Li, "How does this taste?"
Zhao Li nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Xu Qing hurriedly said: "What is it called? It's simply a delicacy in the world, isn't it? It's much better than the food in your palace." ”
Zhao Li said: "You haven't been to the palace again, how do you know?"
Xu Qing said: "I guess, when I go to those inns in Kyoto, the dishes are average." It's not like me. ”
Zhao Li said interestingly: "This Jinling is big." You just ate one, and you feel that this Jinling dish is not good? You haven't eaten the palace dishes in the palace, so you are so arrogant, beware of flashing your tongue. ”
Xu Qing said: "What you say is reasonable, then you take me to the palace for a walk, and what dishes do you have for me to taste." I'd like to see how good the palace is. ”
Zhao Li said: "If the two of us are in front of the saint, we are not noticed by the Royal Forest Army. After seeing the saint, I was not punished by the saint, don't forget, I stole out of Jinling, or wait for the sinful body. Although the saint spoils me, he must also take care of the royal face. Besides, I knowingly committed a crime, and you came out of thin air. I'm afraid I don't even have to eat the dishes, so I just go to the prison to eat the prison food. ”
Xu Qing said with a smile: "This can only be done now, for the sake of the common people, why care about your life?"
Zhao Li said: "It's so righteous and awe-inspiring, when you see those battles in the palace, don't be so scared that you pee your pants." ”
Xu Qing smiled: "I haven't seen the world in the palace, but I won't be bluffed." ”
Zhao Li didn't argue with Xu Qing, and ate chicken nuggets by himself. In fact, Mo Shangyunkai's chicken is delicious and fragrant, but she doesn't want to follow Xu Qing. How did Xu Qing know that Xu Qing was so serious, the two argued for a long time, and each ran out. Xu Qing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Li stood in one place with a sword. But his heart is always pounding, his eyelids are not restless, and he jumps left and right, which makes people uneasy.
When Xu Qing walked back, he saw Zhao Li's brows tightly locked, so he asked why. Zhao Li replied: "Brother Xu, this breaking into the palace is not a trivial matter, I sneaked out at that time and practiced three or four times. With the right time and place, he was also discovered by His Royal Highness Xiao Zong. If it weren't for the old love and the unbearable punishment of me again, Your Majesty would have known about it a long time ago. How can I run to Xunlou, Brother Xu, you have to think twice. ”
Xu Qing sighed and said, "Things in the world are already full of obstacles. If it was all expected by himself, it would be a once-in-a-century experience. Now I have just entered the rivers and lakes and am facing a catastrophe. However, he has a special identity, and he met the Fengxuan Ancient Sword that has not been encountered for thousands of years. There is a limit to what can be done, so we have to win in danger, and if we are a little late, there will be countless children of the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people will be slaughtered. I have no choice at all, all I have to do is to move forward, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it should be left to the will of God. ”
The world is cold and thin, and everything is in danger. Regardless of the people in power, charlatans. The people's homes, the husbands of women and children, the children and the elderly. If you say that you are content with the moment, you will hold a sword, pick a hoe, dance and write, and make ink. If we don't take a step and let the Heavenly Dao circulate, how can we deal with ourselves? How can we survive in the world? How is the Heavenly Dao? What is the Dao of the World? I can't tell the way.
I, Xu Qing, am also Xiao Fuchen. You can't be a wanderer, you can't be content with learning swords in the mountains. Sit in the courtyard to taste books, and raise filial piety and honesty into the office. Writing poems to admire the moon, releasing the rest of my life with a glass of wine, my father and mother who raised me for 20 years were killed, and my father was killed. should have wanted revenge, but now it seems that it is just a drop in the ocean and a branch in the autumn moon. All I have to do is the present. Don't ask why this is the case, just say that today is the same today, and the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. Listen and watch.........
The two went back to the house to pack their bags and went downstairs to greet their shopkeepers. After paying the silver, he walked out of the stack. It is less than 100 miles away from Jinling, and the shopkeeper pulls out the carriage from the backyard, and the two untie the horse rope from the sedan chair, get on the horse, and go to the north.
The sky was already dark, and the two of them were already tired and unbearable when they were in the horses. But when I saw Jinling City, I was also satisfied. Then he went into the city, led his horses, and walked through the streets. Zhao Li had already prepared a veil, and pedestrians couldn't see their faces clearly. It is said that the young lady of the noble family in the capital has never shown her head, and ordinary people can't see each other. Even if you walk on the street, you don't know it.
Just look at the gorgeous service, and the initial recommendation should be a rich lady. If you want to elaborate, you can't say it. But Zhao Li is different, from childhood to adulthood, he always likes to mess around in the city, and after the turmoil of the past six months, his appearance is engraved in the bones of scholars and civilians.
At this time, covered with a veil, Zhao Li tried to cover it with Xu Qing's broad shoulders, for fear of being accidentally recognized by others. Fortunately, the veil is dark, and the appearance is covered, and it is difficult for others to notice.
The two of them walked smoothly, and when they arrived at the contact base, they were at the mouth of the fireworks in Xicheng Lane, and they saw a little-known pharmacy, so they walked into the shop. The guy in the shop smiled and said, "What kind of medicine do you two want to buy?"
Xu Qing said: "I don't want anything, I want the elixir." ”
Zhao Li looked at Xu Qing in surprise, but saw that he was as plain as usual. The guy was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "There are three kinds of elixirs, which one do you want?"
Zhao Li was shocked again, thinking that Xu Qing was weird. How could this little brother take it and continue to say things that didn't make sense, I couldn't help but feel funny.
