Chapter 6: The Adventure of Two Riders (1)
In order to hurry as soon as possible, Li Jiaojiao and Chen Xingwen each rode a horse and rushed from Taiyuan Mansion to Jinzhou early.
Li Jiaojiao was born in Jiangmen. His father was a fierce general under Li Keyong, and after he died in battle, his brother Li Siyuan was more powerful than his father, and was adopted as a righteous son by Li Keyong, ranking first among the thirteen Taibao. Therefore, although she is a woman, she has been skilled in bowing and horses since she was a child, and her martial arts are strong, so she is naturally easy to deal with ordinary martial arts people. She thought that the guards were too slow and hindered her from hurrying, so she left first with Chen Xingwen. Of course, she still has a calculation in her heart: she would prefer to be alone with Chen Xingwen, the two of them are together, no one disturbs, and she has an indescribable pleasure in her heart. She was already moved by this simplely dressed but wise and righteous life-saving benefactor.
Chen Xingwen didn't expect this, he just wanted to rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible and let Li Siyuan release his brother. Although the elder brother went against his will and divulged the secret of the artifact, the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable, but after all, he was a brother, how could he not save him when he died?
Along the way, although Li Jiaojiao was anxious, she was not as anxious as Chen Xingwen, and her heart was full of joy. When she was about to get up, she took the initiative to find topics from time to time.
Li Jiaojiao asked, "Brother Chen, who do you say you are competing with?"
Chen Xingwen smiled: "Do you remember this?"
Li Jiaojiao said coquettishly: "Why can't you remember? I remember everything Brother Chen said. ”
Chen Xingwen thought to himself: This Miss Li is really cute when she is gentle. But he couldn't understand a woman's mind, how she could become gentle. "Let Miss Li laugh, my business is not worth mentioning. ”
Li Jiaojiao said: "I guess that the girl that Brother Chen likes must be very beautiful." ”
Chen Xingwen coped: "No one takes a fancy to me. ”
At this time, the girl's mind was very thoughtful, and Li Jiaojiao said: "That means you have taken a fancy to others?
Chen Xingwen looked a little embarrassed: "Hehe, there has never been anything." No one takes a fancy to me, and I don't dare to think about others. ”
Li Jiaojiao said: "When a man gets married, why don't you dare to think about it? If you don't dare to say it when you see someone you like, I'll help you say it, even if she is the county lord of King Jin, I'll be a matchmaker for you." ”
"Then you don't dare to climb high. I, a common man, only want to have a few acres of land, food to eat in summer, clothes to wear in winter, not to be displaced by disputes, not to be frightened by war. Not for riches, but for peace. Chen Xingwen replied calmly.
Although Li Jiaojiao has a feminine spirit, she also yearns for a peaceful life in the countryside. The scene of picking mulberry and weaving cloth, husband and children, also often appears in her dreams. Chen Xingwen's few words aroused her fantasies. "Although I practice martial arts every day in Jiangmen, I also yearn for a quiet place. I heard that the area south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and if you find a wishful husband there and live the kind of life that my brother said, it will be the happiest thing. ”
Chen Xingwen asked, "Miss Li hasn't been married yet?"
Li Jiaojiao said: "No." Who wants to marry someone like me? Oh, don't Miss Li call Li girl, it seems to be a good life. ”
Chen Xingwen said: "Then how can I call you?"
Li Jiaojiao said: "Just call me Jiaojiao, I'll call you Brother Wen." ”
Chen Xingwen felt a warmth in his heart: "Hmm." ”
Li Jiaojiao said again: "Looking at Brother Wen's appearance, there is a big difference between us and the Northwesterners. ”
Chen Xingwen said: "My ancestral home is Jiangnan, but I grew up in the northwest, and I am also an authentic Northwest person. ”
Li Jiaojiao's eyes flowed: "If I have the opportunity, I will accompany Brother Wen to Jiangnan to find his roots and ask his ancestors, okay?"
Chen Xingwen looked into the distance: "Of course it's okay." I haven't been there, and I really want to go to Gangnam. However, it is thousands of miles away, and there are constant disputes in various places, so it is not easy to go to Jiangnan. ”
Li Jiaojiao's tone was firm: "If the world improves and customs clearance is convenient, I will definitely accompany Brother Wen." Find a few acres of land there and be a Jiangnan person. ”
Chen Xingwen sighed: "I don't know when I have to wait." At that time, you will marry someone else, how can you still accompany me?"
Li Jiaojiao stared at him: "If I don't marry, I will." ”
Chen Xingwen didn't think much about it: "If you don't get married, you have the final say." Maybe your mother and brother have already given you a good match. ”
Li Jiaojiao pouted: "I won't marry if I'm good, unless Brother Wen you marry first." ”
Chen Xingwen was stunned, and finally understood her thoughts: if you continue to talk, it will not end well. So he changed the subject and asked, "According to what you see, who is the best martial artist today?"
Li Jiaojiao was disappointed and said, "Of course, it's my thirteenth brother Li Cunxiao." ”
Chen Xingwen saw that the transfer was successful, so he asked: "It is said that Li Cunxiao is powerful, how can it be powerful?"
Li Jiaojiao said: "Although he ranks last among the thirteen Taibao, his martial arts are indeed the first. Once I watched them compete, and my brother, third brother, and fourth brother besieged him, but none of them were his opponents. ”
Chen Xingwen doesn't understand martial arts affairs, and it is difficult to measure who is high and who is low. He looked for a reference and asked, "How does he compare with Simon Leopard?"
Li Jiaojiao pouted: "Ximen Leopard, how can you compare Ximen Leopard with him? I dare to say that ten Ximen Leopards together can't hurt him a single hair." Not to mention him, my brother can defeat a few Simon leopards. ”
Chen Xingwen exclaimed: "I thought that Ximen Leopard was already very powerful, but I didn't expect that in front of them, it was not worth mentioning at all." There are really people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky! Then Li Cunxiao is really invincible in the world!"
Li Jiaojiao shook her head: "That was in the past, not now." ”
Chen Xingwen was puzzled: "Who can beat him now?"
Li Jiaojiao proudly: "Of course there is!"
Chen Xingwen said: "I don't believe that there are people who are more powerful than him. ”
Li Jiaojiao said: "Brother Wen really doesn't know?"
Chen Xingwen shook his head: "I have never been in contact with people in the rivers and lakes, and I know some martial arts stories, all from the storytellers in the teahouse. However, the storyteller is well-informed, and if there is a rising star, it should be known in the world. ”
Li Jiaojiao looked at him: "Then the rising star is you." Brother Wen, you must be better than him. ”
Chen Xingwen smiled: "You are exalting me too much, I am not martial arts." ”
Li Jiaojiao said seriously: "Why is it not martial arts? Have you heard of the secret weapon of the Tang Sect? Who dares to underestimate it in the martial arts." As long as it can be used in a fight, it is all martial arts. ”
Speaking of the secret weapon of the Tang Sect, Chen Xingwen had Tang Susu's figure in his mind again.
When it was almost dark, the two arrived at a small town. At this time, people were sleepy and tired, and Chen Xingwen proposed to rest here and stay for one night.
The two dismounted, walked for a while, and saw an inn. The shopkeeper stood at the door, saw them coming, greeted them and asked, "Are you two eating or staying in the hotel?"
Chen Xingwen said: "Eat and live in a restaurant." ”
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment: "This, this ......"
Li Jiaojiao asked, "What, don't you accept people in this store?"
The shopkeeper looked at Li Jiaojiao's horse and said, "It's not that it won't be accepted, it's just that the small shop can't accommodate horses, and it can't keep two people staying in the hotel." ”
Li Jiaojiao pointed to the stable on the side and said, "Isn't there a stable, why can't you keep it?"
The shopkeeper scratched his head, wanting to speak and stopped.
Li Jiaojiao felt strange: "Are you afraid that we won't give you money for the store?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "No." ”
Li Jiaojiao said angrily: "Why is that?"
The shopkeeper was silent.
Chen Xingwen took Li Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Maybe they have difficulties, let's go forward and look for them." ”
Li Jiaojiao refused to leave: "I have to explain the reason." Tell me, little brother, why can't we live?"
The shopkeeper walked out, looked around first, and saw that there was no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't be surprised, two of you." There is no reason for the small shop to refuse customers, but the girl's horse is too eye-catching. The small shop has few people and low walls, and if there is a mistake, you can't afford to pay for it. ”
Chen Xingwen suddenly realized: "I see. Turning his head to Li Jiaojiao: "Let's go up and find another one." ”
Li Jiaojiao has never encountered such a thing. In the past, there were soldiers to escort her back and forth, and she never had to worry about food and lodging, but today she couldn't stay because she had a good horse, and she felt angry and funny.
The shopkeeper said: "Several inns in the town are the same as small shops, I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate the two." ”
Li Jiaojiao said: "You just arrange for us to stay, if the horse is lost, I don't blame you." That's it, right?"
