Chapter Seventy-One: Serious Injuries Like a Dream (Part II)
"Ah, how can it be so fast, don't we still have a lot of money?" asked the girl in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Dugu Jian shrugged his shoulders and replied: "When we went to Hengshan, we bought two horses in Pingyang Mansion, plus the later food and accommodation, the silver has almost been spent, and now the gold has also been spent, isn't there no money?"
The girl frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Dugu, we are almost in Xinyang Mansion in front, we will stay in Xinyang for one night first, and tomorrow we will turn south and go to Ezhou to meet Marshal Yue, how about it?" Dugu Jian nodded and replied: "It's okay, we have been out of Mengcheng for seven or eight days, and we are almost in the middle of the month, so we will take a rest in Xinyang today, and rush to Ezhou tomorrow, I think the people sent by Marshal Yue to Dingzhou should almost return." ”
"Well, when the messenger comes back with the news, we will discuss with Marshal Yue how to retrieve the treasure map. The girl said. Dugu Jian nodded and continued: "When we discuss it here, we will go back to Hengshan for the New Year first, and then go to Dongting Lake." Zhang Linxin said worriedly: "I don't know if your junior brothers and sisters will have any opinions on me." ”
Dugu Jian took the girl's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, Lin'er, my junior brothers and sisters are very good, everyone will definitely like you very much, and Hengshan will be your home in the future." Zhang Linxin looked at his sincere eyes and nodded vigorously.
When it was almost evening, the two of them finally came to Xinyang City, which belonged to the government of the Xinyang Army, with a larger population than Luoshan County, and the city was also much larger. Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin led the horse into the city, and did not go around again, but directly found an inn to stay.
After a night's rest, both of them woke up early, had breakfast, settled the house money, and led the horses to prepare for the road. On this day, there was a meeting, and the vendors from outside the city came out early in the morning to set up their stalls, and the people who rushed to the meeting also gathered early and wandered around the stalls.
This kind of scene, Dugu Jian has seen it in the market under Hengshan Mountain, and he doesn't feel strange. But Zhang Linxin lives in Lin'an City, where has he ever seen such a situation? I can't help but look around to see the grand occasion of this rally. The two of them unconsciously slowed down, and they were not in a hurry to get out of the city, so they led the horses and walked slowly and watched.
Suddenly, Zhang Linxin only felt that a woman in red not far in front of her looked very familiar, she hurriedly pulled Dugu Jian and said, "Brother Dugu, look at that person, why is it so familiar?" Dugu Jian looked in the direction of the girl's finger, and also saw the woman in red, only to see her facing away from her, standing in front of a stall selling herbs and selecting. Both of them were suspicious, wanting to see who the woman was, but they didn't want to alarm her, so they stopped and stood in front of a stall, pretending to pick out items, but their eyes looked over there from time to time.
After a while, the woman chose a lot of herbs, wrapped them in a cloth, and turned away after paying the bill. At the moment when she turned around, both of them saw her face clearly!-"Nangong girl!", "Sister Rainbow!" The two of them were immediately shocked, and glanced at each other, no matter what, they didn't expect to meet her here! The two of them were also relatively familiar with Nangong Rainbow, although she was still wearing a red dress at this time, but it was the middle of winter, and everyone was wearing a relatively thick one, and Nangong Rainbow was also carrying a relatively large cloth bag on her back, which made the two of them not recognize her at a glance.
Zhang Linxin saw that she was about to disappear into the crowd, so she hurriedly pulled Dugu Jian and followed, and whispered to Dugu Jian: "Brother Dugu, why do you say that Sister Rainbow is here?" Dugu Jian was also confused, according to what Zhang Rumeng said when she was in Chang'an, she shouldn't have appeared here at this time? Both of them couldn't understand why they saw her here.
Dugu Jian replied: "I don't understand either, but Lin'er, I feel that the whereabouts of this Nangong girl have always been mysterious, listening to your brother's words, she is also involved in the Five Colors Sect." I don't think we'd better alarm her yet, just follow quietly and see what she's going to do. The girl nodded and agreed, "Okay, but Brother Dugu, you said that since Sister Rainbow is here, will my brother be close to the left?"
When the girl asked, Dugu Jian suddenly felt that there was some truth, Zhang Rumeng said that he wanted to go back to Lin'an to worship his father, and then he would follow Zhang Feng's will to track down the whereabouts of the "Mountains and Rivers Society Jitu", and the clues he got were all related to Nangong Rainbow, so Zhang Rumeng was also very likely to be nearby. Dugu Jian replied: "You are right, since Miss Nangong is here, I think it is very likely that Brother Zhang is also observing in the dark." ”
"Really?" exclaimed the girl, "I also think my brother is probably nearby." Dugu Jian motioned for the girl to be silent, and after seeing that it did not alarm Nangong Rainbow, he continued: "Lin'er, don't be in a hurry, let's follow first, maybe we can see where Brother Zhang is in a while." It's just that why did Miss Nangong buy so many herbs? This is incomprehensible. ”
Zhang Linxin was also a little puzzled, the two of them followed her for a while, and Nangong Caihong had already bought a large burden of herbs. She bought some more rice, noodles, vegetables, and some eggs and meat, put them in a bag, and then turned around and went into a garment shop. After a while, she was seen buying a few more sets of clothes and coming out, and judging from the style, in addition to the red women's clothes she always wore, there seemed to be the robes worn by these two men.
This made Jian Xin and the two even more confused, and she bought herbs, indicating that someone should have been injured. Buying rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables is a plan to cook, and buying clothes is naturally to wear, but why do you want to buy men's clothes? With Zhang Linxin's understanding of Nangong Rainbow, she has never seen her wear men's clothes, so it is difficult to explain that she intends to dress up as a man, so what does she mean?
The two of them continued to quietly follow Nangong Caihong, only to see that she was carrying a large bag full of things and a few clothes in her hands, and walked out of the west gate along the main road to the west.
After crossing the bridge, further on, you will reach Xianyin Mountain, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians here, and Kenshin and the two know that if they lead the horse like this, the target is too big, and they will inevitably be discovered by her. So taking advantage of the vacancy at the intersection of the road, the two patted the horse's buttocks and drove the two horses into the woods on the side of the road, and they continued to follow quietly, wanting to see what Nangong Rainbow planned to do.
Along the mountain road, I walked seven or eight miles into the mountain, only to see Nangong Rainbow turn to a small road again, and after walking a short distance, I disappeared into a forest. The two men hurriedly followed, and under the cover of the woods, they followed all the way. After a while, they saw a clearing in the forest in front of them, and a wooden house appeared in their eyes.
Nangong Rainbow looked around, and after finding that there was no abnormality, she pushed open the door and walked into the house. Kenshin and Kenshin hurriedly took advantage of this gap to hide under the window next to the house, secretly listening to the movement in the house.
There was a man's violent coughing voice inside: "Cough cough cough cough ....." I only heard Nangong Rainbow ask softly: "Are you better?" The man took a breath before replying: "I'm fine, Rainbow, I've worked hard for you this time." ”
"Brother?"
"Brother Zhang?"
Jian Xin and the two were very surprised, this voice was clearly Zhang Rumeng's! He was actually with Nangong Caihong, and from what he saw and heard, it seemed that he was still sick in bed? (To be continued.) )
