Chapter 513: Meeting Liu Zhong Again
Chapter 513: Meeting Liu Zhong Again
next day
Today's weather was particularly bad for Xu Qing. It was a sunny day and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
But fortunately, it has entered autumn at this time, and the wind that blows out is cool, so the sun shines on the body, but it feels warm.
But it is not so friendly to Xu Qing, who rides a horse to watch the road.
Why is it only unfriendly to Xu Qing?
Because Xiao Ruxue is sharing a ride with Xu Qing now, she only needs to curl up in Xu Qing's arms and squint her eyes to enjoy the sunbath, without having to watch the road.
At this time, Xiao Ruxue's horse had already been used to pull luggage, even though the two of them together only had so little luggage.
The little girl will enjoy it now.
But now Xiao Ruxue didn't dare to camp outside. Not only were there many mosquitoes in the wild, but they were also big and fierce. Besides mosquitoes, there were also small insects with many legs!
Toilet water doesn't work anymore!
But sleeping in the inn is different. At night, Xu Qing tells stories to lull her to sleep.
Much more comfortable than camping outside.
...
Xu Qing also didn't expect that the little girl made up her mind to go all the way west to unify the mainland in order to verify whether there are really a bunch of small and ugly countries in the West.
The authenticity of the fairy tale world is guarded by the little girl!
Xu Qing is very glad that he didn't tell the little girl the story of the mermaid last night. If he didn't tell the story, he would immediately think about organizing a fleet to go fishing?
However, if this wish of the Western Expedition is realized, and the books and the carriages are on the same track, the students in a thousand years may have to thank the Yongle princess.
I won't be so lucky, I have nothing to do for money...ahem...I wrote a lot of poems for art, and I don't know how many students want to dig my own grave...
Xu Qing lowered her head, seeing the little girl in her arms who had been silent for a while, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Yesterday you told me the story of Sleeping Beauty, and now I feel very wrong."
Xu Qing asked curiously: "What's wrong? Isn't it what you wanted? The hero and heroine must be together, and they finally got together."
Xiao Ruxue said: "The girl was sleeping soundly at home, and a stranger came in and broke into the house... Do princes in their country like to be thieves?"
"..." Xu Qing didn't know how to explain.
Xiao Ruxue continued: "Then when I came in, I saw the mistress sleeping soundly at home and kissed her. This is simply a disciple! Even a disciple is considered good. If I see such a prince, I will definitely interrupt her." His legs!"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment: "You think so?"
Xiao Ruxue snorted, "Fortunately, Sleeping Beauty woke up later. If she hadn't woken up, she wouldn't know what the whole wretched prince would do next... It's like a beast... The small country in the west has this level of enlightenment, just think about it." Li Yu, no wonder we call it a land of barbarians, where did you read these stories from?"
Xu Qing smiled awkwardly: "There used to be a storybook from the West at home."
Now Xu Qing feels more and more that Xiao Ruxue has the appearance of a Great Emperor, and she is worthy of being the princess with the title of Yongle.
...
Xu Qing drove his horse and came to a fork in the road slowly. He looked down at Xiao Ruxue and asked, "Look, there are two roads ahead. Should we take the main road or the small road?"
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Ruxue stretched out her little finger and pointed to the tree-lined path beside her: "Take the small road, take the small road, we have walked the main road all morning, the bandits and robbers on the main road would not dare to rob, it's so boring, let's go now Xiaolu, we will go back to the main road to find the inn in the evening."
Xu Qing felt that what Xiao Ruxue said was very reasonable, so he drove the horse to the path.
The advantage of the small road is that it is closer than the main road, and the disadvantage is that it is more dangerous than the main road.
Of course, this disadvantage is actually an advantage for him and the little girl.
If a team of robbers can be popped up at any time for them to grab, at least the journey will not be too boring.
The little girl rubbed her hands expectantly.
...
Just as Xu Qing was driving forward, he suddenly saw a familiar caravan in front of him, but these caravans had many more carriages, and it seemed that they had more goods.
Obviously this is Liu Zhong's caravan, and it seems that they have bought a lot of goods in Gu County?
Xu Qing was very curious, after learning the lesson from last time, why did Liu Zhong still try to walk fast?
Aren't you afraid of encountering bandits and robbers again?
Besides, he brought a very nice daughter this time.
Xu Qing looked at some of the sparse guards in the caravan ahead and was a little puzzled.
Didn't it mean that they stayed temporarily in Gu County to recruit caravan guards?
How does this look not as much as it used to be.
Xiao Ruxue's ears moved, and she said, "Xu Qing, these carriages are not loaded with goods, they are full of people. I heard the beating of many people's hearts."
Xu Qing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he didn't look like Liu Zhong was in the human trafficking business, how could he be pulling people in the carriage?
Wait, the person who pulled...
Xu Qing looked at the extra carriages, as if he suddenly understood something.
At this moment, the accompanying guards couldn't help but rejoice when they saw the two men coming on horseback: "Grandfather, is it you?"
At this moment, the guard on the side patted the guard's head: "That's the Marquis and the princess, have you forgotten what the lady told us last night? Be careful with your head."
At this moment, Liu Zhong and Chen Yong who heard the commotion came over, Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue got off their horses, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
When Liu Zhong and Chen Yong were about to walk quickly and Liu Wanyan was about to bow down, she was stopped by Xu Qing and said: "It's all a false name, Liu Dage doesn't have to be like this, just pretend that we are Rivers and Lakes who are going to Liuzhou to participate in the Martial Forest Conference The person is, everything is done in secret, and it is better to be tacit."
Liu Zhong, Chen Yong, and Liu Wanyan had no choice but to give up saluting when they heard this, and asked by their original address: "You two benefactors, why did you take the path?"
Xu Qing said: "There are too few bandits and thieves on the mainland, and there is no business. I don't know why Liu Dage also takes the path?"
Liu Chong smiled and said, "It's the same to report back to benefactor."
Xu Qing looked at the smiling Liu Zhong and smiled, without saying a word.
The caravan moves on
Shady place on the hillside not far away
A dozen bandits looked at the caravan below with longing in their eyes.
The knife-wielding bandit in the lead licked the blade and said, "Such a large caravan has only this few guards? And it also brought two young ladies who are beautiful and beautiful. Mrs. Yazhai, little ones, follow me!"
After all, the leader rushed down first, followed by the bandits behind.
Liu Zhong looked at the bandits approaching, but he didn't panic at all. Not only did Liu Zhong not panic, but no one around him showed any panic.
Chen Yong, the leader of the guards, said: "Everyone, we are just passing by. Here are ten taels of silver for you to drink tea. Please let our caravan go."
The bandit at the head smiled sinisterly and said, "A mere ten taels of silver? Are we begging for food when you are an uncle? Since you are showing no wanting face, little ones, grab it for me! By the way, don't hurt those two little ladies." .”
Just as the leading bandit finished speaking, four or five guard-like people with long knives jumped out of each car behind the caravan.
There are dozens of people in total.
Facing dozens of guards, the dozen or so bandits instantly looked extremely thin.
