Chapter 56: On the Road
Chapter 56 On the Road
In the early summer of Jiangnan, it is already a good time for the grass to grow and the warbler flies, the warm summer breeze blows, the tide in the air is coming, take a deep breath, a fresh breath will refresh the spleen, as if the pores of the whole body are stretched, it is indeed a good weather for travel.
The rainy season did not come to make trouble, some were just a slight drizzle, but there was a cool feeling on the body, with a trace of coolness, plus a hint of breeze, the whole journey also became pleasant.
Traveling during this season is very comfortable, but it can be very painful for three teams. When King Yan was forced to send an envoy to Nanzhao with a smile by Zhang Rang, he didn't know how to deal with the grievances in his heart, and he stayed in the palace for three days before he slowly went out.
What happened in the past three days, no one knows Lu Dao, Yan Wang's Mansion has been closed, until today, the brigade of people and horses out of the east gate of the capital, the people of Chang'an did not know about the matter of Lu Dao Yan Wang's envoy to Nanzhao.
The momentum is very large, it is also very lively, it is also a canal, down the water, driving a boat, the scenery along the way is picturesque, the climate is also cloudless, and the sky is clear. But Yan Wang's mood did not improve in the slightest, he sat quietly in the bow of the boat, looking at the carrier pigeons in the pigeon cage in a daze.
No one dared to disturb him, so he slowly went down the river. King Yan's fleet walked very slowly, stopping to rest from time to time, and the officials along the way set up banquets and entertains, which was also endless, but King Yan did not refuse, and the whole trip became a leisure event, and it took less than a hundred miles to walk in three days. They had now stopped by the Weishui River, ready to go to a gathering of Weihe officials.
The other team of people and horses were not so idle, the princess and Xiao Ruoshui, Wang Shan, and Zhao Cheng, like frightened birds, rushed towards Jinling. Wang Shan looked up at the sky from time to time, squinting at the peregrine falcon in the sky, and felt unhappy in his heart. Zhao Cheng followed closely all the way, not looking at the sky. Xiao Ruoshui and the princess didn't care about the birds flying in the air, and they were talking and laughing and galloping. The night gradually darkened, the four of them lit a bonfire and cooked around the bonfire, the river fresh mountain delicacies are all the materials on the bonfire, most of them are the masterpieces of the princess and Xiao Ruoshui, Xiao Ruoshui and Wang Shan, Zhao Cheng are all good at cooking, not to mention the taste. In the process of hunting and cooking with Xiao Ruoshui, the princess gradually tried the fun of it, and she became tired of it. She also followed Xiao Ruoshui to learn the internal strength of exhalation and induction, and the most important thing is to learn the easy step of escaping, which is gradually much more powerful than before, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch her. In addition, if you wear the golden silk soft armor of the Tianzhu Group, if the martial arts people might as well catch it, they will either die or be injured. The poisonous needle that Xiao Ruoshui gave her is also a domineering self-defense weapon, which is difficult for ordinary people to get close to. So everyone is relieved.
Wang Shan was still a little unwilling, and secretly put a few pieces of poisonous meat in the treetops, wanting to trap and kill the peregrine falcons that were tracking, but in exchange for a useless waste, he only killed a few greedy crows.
Wang Shan looked at the crow under the fallen tree, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The princess kicked the crow away, and muttered angrily, it seems that the failure of the booby trap operation also made her not feel good.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at her and laughed in her heart, so she walked up to her with wine and said with a smile: "It's better to listen to Brother Wang tell a story." ”
The princess's face became better, and she pouted and said, "Brother Wang is the most angry, last time he talked about his sister-in-law, he didn't say anything about it, and this time he must finish it." ”
After speaking, he ran to Wang Shan in broken steps, shaking Wang Shan's hand and coquettishly.
Wang Shan walked to the bonfire with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll finish telling you, but you also have to tell your own story." ”
The princess clapped her hands and said, "All right." ”
Xiao Ruoshui's face sank, and he looked towards the princess, the princess glared, and he nodded helplessly.
Wang Shan took a sip of wine and looked at the bonfire: "After I rescued your sister-in-law, I let her ride away, but she stared at me deadly, looked at me for a long time, and suddenly said: "You are my husband, let me go wherever I go, I will follow you." ”
I was also stunned, looked at her and said, "Girl, are you mistaken?"
She didn't speak, she took out a piece of paper from her underwear, on which was a portrait of a person with the eight characters of birth written on it, handed it to me and said, "Look at the person above is you?"
I took the paper in confusion and looked at it carefully, and it was strange that it was indeed me. I looked at the girl in wonder, "It's me, you got this piece of paper from there." ”
Your sister-in-law said shyly, "This is providence, you are the one I am looking for." "I won't say anything more. I was puzzled, but I couldn't ask any more words, so I went to meet with the chef in a daze. My heart is also full of questions.
Your sister-in-law rode happily after me and looked at me from time to time. After I met with the kitchen god, I was ridiculed for a while. I went home with your sister-in-law and questions, and my mother seemed to know that I was looking for my daughter-in-law to come back, so I arranged the new house early, and I walked to the new house in a daze, until my mother took out a piece of paper, on which was also a portrait of a girl and a birthday. Your sister-in-law took out the piece of paper and put it together, and the lines were seamless, and there was no difference.
I was even more confused, and my mother smiled and said, "When the old man Tianxiang passed by our town last year, I specifically begged for it, saying that you would bring your daughter-in-law back after you went out this year, and let me prepare, but I didn't expect it to be accurate, ha, haluha." ”
I looked back at your sister-in-law and asked, "The portrait you brought was also given by the old man of Tianxiang?"
Your sister-in-law shook her head and said, "This portrait was begged by my father from the high priest, not from the old man of the Heavenly Phase. At that time, I asked for a whole painting, and when the old man Tianxiang went to Miaojiang, my father begged him to find someone to tell a fortune, so he took this half of the painting, saying that he would definitely find my husband when he came out this year, but he didn't expect to find it. ”
Your sister-in-law and I were just pulled together by a painting, it was really providential. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Shan's mouth, as if recalling the story that seemed to have happened yesterday.
The princess looked at the sky yearningly, looked at the stars in the sky, and forgot Xiao Ruoshui again, looking at him without reacting, and covered her face depressedly.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Wang Shan in surprise and thought, "Is there really a providence? The things that the master taught me to look at people can really gain insight into the heavens?" He couldn't help but recall what he had learned, slowly thinking, comparing with the things around him, he began to try to try to understand the connection between these objects, at this moment he seemed to be in a fixed state, all kinds of knowledge running at high speed in his mind, from heaven to earth, from man to animal, he kept merging and trying, trying to find the slightest connection, at this moment he seemed to be a part of this world, feeling everything.
Wang Shan looked at Xiao Ruoshui with a smile and said, "I'll keep it, you can sleep." ”
The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui, and her worried mood was shown on her face. Wang Shan smiled and said, "Sleep, I'll be in a hurry tomorrow." ”
The princess lay on the ground, looked at Xiao Ruoshui, and gradually fell asleep.
