Volume 16 Chapter 6 Lovesickness Turns to Ashes (5)
Ten miles away. Hurry up. At most, for a moment. However, Yang Ning and "leaned on each other, only felt that the road was too short, where would it be cold and twilight, and when the two of them saw Guyanyi from afar, the last ray of daylight had sunk in the sky.
Guyan Station, is a lonely post city outside the stopper, built by the mountain, the water and grass are abundant, here was the Han army out of the fortress must pass through, so set up a post station, for the use of supply on the way, so the regulation is quite large, the city wall is fighting, the trench antlers, all available, the houses in the city are continuous, there are more than 100 rooms, the horse can rest in wartime, the business travel is received in peacetime, the envoys of various ministries are often gathered, and even the market is formed around the post city. However, such prosperity is already a thing of the past, since the chaos of the Central Plains, the offensive and defensive momentum is easy to turn, the army easily refuses to go out of the fortress, Guyan post number was looted, has been abandoned for many years, the surrounding post wall to be demolished, only the knife is left to chop, the fire can not collapse the blue and black cornerstone, silently watching Hu Ma chirp, the grass is separated, the house is also burned to the fire ten of the **, only the middle of a bluestone hall is unharmed, of course, the doors and windows are long gone. There was a well in the post city, the water quality was sweet, but the evacuated post soldiers were blocked with bricks and mud, the tribes outside the Saiwai lived by water and grass, but they were not good at digging wells, they had tried to restore the water well to the old view, but they accidentally destroyed the water eye, although it could barely be used, but the amount of water was scarce, if it was in the dry season, it would dry the tears, and could not meet the slightly larger tribes to drink, but fortunately, it avoided the Guyan post from being occupied by a powerful tribe, and also preserved the broken tiles and ruins, and would not be completely demolished.
The two rode their horses through the city gate, but saw that although the city was dilapidated, but the road was covered with dry grass and snow soil, there were not many stones and bricks to hinder the journey, and galloped to the stone hall in the center of the post city, but saw that in a house near the left, only the frame still remained, and the seven or eight horses ridden by He Louqi and the other three were loose saddle shoes, and two relatively complete mangers were surrounded by threes and threes. Most of the fine beans were poured into the manger, Helian Xing stood not far away, with a bucket of water at his feet, and from time to time there were horses going over to drink water, and the order was orderly, if there was anyone who wanted to fight, Helian Xing was just a whistle, and the originally stubborn horse retreated, which made people laugh. His ability to train horses, the two of them have been commonplace all the way, but Qingping saw it in his eyes, but he still couldn't help sighing, and complained to Yang Ning: "Zijing, how can our Bai'er and Hei'er be so well-behaved, if they see drinking water and forage, they will forcibly occupy it, if they loosen the reins, but if they can't see it, there will be no shadow, if they can tame those two bad horses so well-behaved, how good it would be!"
Yang Ning was puzzled, in fact, although the mounts left by the two in Jiangnan were unruly and untamable, they were also quite spiritual horses after all, how could Qingping be so stubborn, but since Qingping said so, she thought it was true, so she said: "It may be that the time with us is too short, when you recover, let's go back to Jiangnan to get the horse, stay by your side more, take care of it all the time, the days will be long, and they must be more obedient than the horses of He Lou's predecessors!" Who knew that the voice fell into the net, but he hit Qingping's elbow on the chest, looked down and saw Qingping's lightly angry face, and couldn't help but be intoxicated in a daze, where can he care to ask. But he didn't know. Qingping is not arrogant and dislikes her BMW. It's just that he saw Helianxing's way of taming horses, but he just annoyed him with the net, and it was inconvenient to ask for it, so he avoided the important and light, and only hoped that Helianxing would listen to it in his ears, even if he couldn't meet his wishes, but he was not emotional, and it was good to point out to himself casually.
Although Helian Xing has a simple and honest temperament, he is not a dull person, and at this moment, he knows the meaning of the strings, but the art of taming horses is the foundation of Hu Rong's strength, how can it be passed on to foreign clans casually, so he just smiled slightly, and said to him left and right: " You came at the right time, no one has passed by here for a long time, the house is very dirty, Lan Jun's girl has been hastily cleaned, and now she is sorting out the cover, Qingjiang, although your body is not good, it is also good to go in and help the handle, Shizun has already lit a bonfire, but there is a lack of firewood, there are often business trips passing by, I am afraid that it is difficult to find enough dry grass and branches around, Shizun said to go to Guyan Mountain to see, I can't leave to take care of the horses here, Zijing, you go to help Shizun. He arbitrarily instructed the two of them, but Yang Ning and Qingping were speechless, after all, even He Louqi did it himself, and the two of them couldn't sit back and enjoy it, at the moment Yang Ning put Qingping off the horse, hugged his fist to Helianxing, and turned around to go out to find firewood, although Qingping knew that Helianxing was changing the topic, but he couldn't plead anymore, so he had to walk into the stone house in a daze.
This stone house is very wide, enough to accommodate dozens of people to sit up, except that the walls still have traces of fire, but it is not very dirty, just look at it and feel gray, the ground was originally plastered with plaster, although there are many damages, exposing the soil below, but most of them are still flat, the doors and windows have long been gone, the place that should have been the window was hastily nailed a few wooden boards, chatting to block the wind and avoid the cold, and a thick felt blanket was hung on the door, but there was ** Cheng Xin, apparently just taken out of the package and hung up, in the middle of the stone house, a bonfire has been lit, but there is little firewood, so the fire is very dim, can only be barely used for lighting, there is almost no heat, and in the corner of the stone house, there is a sheep felt on the ground that has been cleaned, Lan Jun is taking out a snow-white bear skin mattress from his bag and putting it on.
Qing Jiang saw the mattress at a glance, and couldn't help blushing, from Yizhou to the north, she was groggy all the way, so she has always been in a carriage, although it is slower, but she can bring more luggage, but from the Hu Ren Wang Court to continue north, He Louqi said that her poisonous injury can not be delayed, so she changed to riding a horse, although she can enjoy the scenery along the way along the way, she will not be overly depressed, and Yang Ning will take care of it Not particularly tired, but after all, it is not as convenient as before, most of the carriage tent luggage was lost in the royal court, only this bear mattress, first, she was reluctant, and secondly, the journey was hard, and she also needed this thing to keep out the cold, so she took it with her, and only after a dispute, the five people divided into two groups, and the horses carrying their luggage were brought here by He Louqi and others first, and now Lan Jun took out this mattress first, Obviously, she wanted to help her tidy up the bedding, she treated herself so kindly, but she was offended, although it was to distinguish between right and wrong, but when she thought about it at the moment, she was still vaguely guilty. Thinking of this, she hurried forward in a few steps and said abruptly: "Sister Lanjun, thank you, it's all my fault." I'm sorry for your trouble, so I'd better do it myself. ”
Lan Jun raised her head, and a smile appeared on her delicate face, like a flower blooming. But she also knew that Qing Jiang didn't just make her bed just to help her... Sorry. After a little hesitation, she said softly: "Miss Qingping, Lan Jun knows that you are not an ordinary woman, you have been poisoned by such a terrible poison, and you are still happy on the line of life and death, I am afraid that there are few in this world." People can do it, what you said to Zijing Gongzi, Lan Jun is shallow and doesn't understand it very well, but since the National Teacher has no objection, it must be very reasonable, but Lan Jun has a humble opinion, and the truth in this world is irrefutable. It also depends on who the slave and maid have been lonely since childhood, adopted by the national teacher, although they are nominally a maidservant, the national teacher treats me like a daughter, so as long as the national teacher is happy, it is unreasonable, so what does it matter? Miss Qingping, Lan Jun was ordered by the national teacher to serve the young lady's daily life. You and I met once, but also the fate of the previous life, this time to take the liberty of begging, not to coerce in return, just please look at this rare fate, temporarily forget the difference between home and country, don't say those words that make the national teacher unhappy, his old man has worked hard all his life, for the life and death of the Hu Rong and the two clans, in fact, many things, the national teacher is a hole in the fire, why do you use a soft knife to hurt his old man's heart!"
Qingluo couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and looked down, only to see Lan Jun's delicate face glowing resolutely, looking at herself without blinking a pair of blue eyes, obviously not allowing herself to push and perfunctory, after getting along for many days, she knew that this beautiful bearded woman was the most gentle, not as rude and hearty as ordinary women on the prairie, but had a bit of the taste of a child in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the goshawk outside the plug is not the Chunyan of Jiangnan, she took the risk of making such a request to herself, not only may anger herself, if He Louqi knows, most of them will also blame her for damaging her prestige, it is really thankless, but she only wants her master to have less trouble, so desperate, so fist-minded, how can it not be admirable, she dares to be presumptuous in front of He Louqi, but it is a gentleman who can be deceived in a way, knowing that He Louqi will not be embarrassed by a sick and weak woman, if she is straightforward and daring, but she is not as good as Lan Jun。
Thinking of this, an imperceptible look of shame flashed in Qingping's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Sister Lanjun, I will never argue with He Lou's predecessors again, but it's not for my sister, I still need He Lou's seniors to heal my poisonous injuries, Fang Cai is just in a hurry, calm down at the moment, where do you dare to speak out to offend the life-saving benefactor, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, although my sister can rest assured."
Although Qingping said this, but Lan Jun is not a stupid person, she has long heard that this girl is poisoned, and she has captured His Royal Highness Olgrad alive, such a fierce temperament, fearless of life and death, how could she change her temperament because she asked the national teacher for treatment, Qingping said this just not to let herself have a burden in her heart, even so, how could she not be secretly grateful, but she couldn't think of how to repay, only to take care of it, and don't want Qingping to help her tidy up her bedding at the moment, and try to urge Qingping to rest first, if she said that she was originally thoughtful to Qingping, but she was just acting on orders, but at the moment she was willing and sincere。
Although Qingping was taken care of by Yang Ning along the way, she really felt tired at this time, and originally wanted to lie down for a while, but after a while, she really fell asleep.
Although there are five people in the group, He Louqi, He Lianxing and Yang Ning are all pure in internal strength Not to mention that there are houses to shelter from the wind and cold, even sleeping in the ice and lying in the snow are also regarded as idle, for the sake of simple luggage, there are only two sets of covers for Qingping and Lan Jun to use, so Lan Jun just took out a piece of felt from the luggage, so that it is convenient for the three of them to sit on the ground, after everything is rectified, Lan Junfang felt that the house is becoming more and more bleak, turned his head to look, only to see that the bonfire is about to be extinguished, and hurriedly threw the only few remaining wood chips and branches into the fire, the flame was helped, and suddenly rose, and the stone house was in vain, melting the firelight, exuding a trace of warmth, Lan Jun then put his heart at ease, and went to see Qingping sleeping peacefully, but saw that under the light of the fire, Qingping, who was lying in clothes, looked like snow, There is a faint chill in the skin, although the cheeks are full of peach blossoms, but they are very lifeless, Dai Mei frowned lightly, as if he also felt cold in his sleep, Lan Jun saw that his heart trembled, and quickly took a soft blanket and gently covered her, until Qingping's eyebrows gradually stretched, then she put her heart at ease, never for a moment, she felt so clearly that this girl's life passed quietly, her palms were folded, Lan Jun knelt on the ground, and prayed silently to the gods, hoping that after returning to the Qingtian Palace, the national teacher should really be able to treat the poisonous wounds on this Central Plains girl。
Lan Jun and Qingping were talking in the stone house, although Helian Xing was feeding the horses outside, he didn't deliberately listen, but his internal strength was pure, but two or three zhang away, intentionally or unintentionally, he heard it clearly, he naturally wouldn't blame Lan Jun for showing weakness, even if the master would not shake his heart because of Yang Ning and Qingping's remarks, but she was always a child's heart, but Qingping not only agreed, but also refused to let Lan Jun's confession, which made his heart move slightly, This horse taming technique naturally can't be easily taught to the people of the Central Plains, but a little skill, it's not that it can't be pointed, but of course there is no need to be urgent, the two of them will have to stay in the Qingtian Palace for at least a year and a half. ”
Just when Lan Jun and Qingping were whispering, and Helian was about to feed the horses, above the eastern foothills of Guyan Mountain, Yang Ning swung his sword and cut off a dead miscellaneous tree, this miscellaneous tree is nearly one and a half people high, with dense branches, if it is chopped into firewood, let alone one night, I am afraid that it will not be used up in seven or eight days. Dragging the tree trunk with one hand, Yang Ning was about to find his way down the mountain, but there was a wail in his ears, Yang Ning's body shook slightly, just because this sound was close at hand, with his cultivation, even if it was a leopard with light and silent steps, it was impossible to be unaware of it at such a close distance, even so, Yang Ning's body not only did not tense, but became more and more relaxed, to his level, before he made a move, he no longer needed to gather momentum like a bow, and did not turn around, Yang Ning said lightly: "He Lou seniors have anything to tell the juniors?"
