Chapter 273: Return to Hong Kong
Eighty soldiers with Shen Leng went south, and there were forty people on the way back, exactly half of them, that night the capital of the country was broken, and the army guarding the official post had to rush to the city gate to support, and the soldiers killed the official post to find Shen Leng to meet and reconcile, and heard that Shen Leng was trapped in the palace, they turned around and rushed to the palace, the first batch of people who rushed to the palace gate to fight with the forbidden army were them, at that time there were still thousands of forbidden troops in the palace, and they were only a few dozens.
Meng Chang'an arrived soon after they rushed in, otherwise, these eighty soldiers might all be lost in the country.
One of them was named Xue Cheng, one of the soldiers who chose to stay on Yelu Mountain with Shen Leng at the beginning, and he was also the only survivor of the two ten-person teams in the battle of Yelu Mountain.
After sailing on the sea for twenty days, he was finally about to return to Pingyue Road, but Xue Cheng, who was still smiling two days ago, gradually fell silent, and recently he was lying there alone for a long time, rarely talking to people.
When Shen Leng came to see Xue Cheng on crutches, there were tears in the corners of Xue Cheng's eyes.
Seeing that it was Shen Leng who came in, Xue Cheng struggled to remember, Shen Leng hurriedly helped him, and the crutches fell to the side.
Xue Cheng glanced at Shen Leng apologetically, wanting to say something, but in the end he lowered his head and couldn't say a word.
Shen Leng didn't speak, and looked at his legs.
There was only one and a half legs left, and when he hit Miyagi, he was hit on his left leg by a heavy crossbow, and the knee was directly cut off, Mr. Shen gave him hemostatic treatment, and the person was saved, but the leg could not be saved.
"General."
Xue Cheng raised his head and smiled, trying to make himself look less lost.
If the leg is gone, the bento will not be a soldier, and he will go home after all.
"I'm fine, I've been a soldier for eleven years and haven't gone back, now I can finally go back and stay for a while, my parents are still here, and it's good to find a woman who is willing to marry me to inherit the lineage."
Shen Leng is no longer a general, but they still call Shen Leng a general.
"Eleven years."
Shen Leng sat on the edge of the bed: "I haven't been back?" ”
"My home is in Luo'an City, Xishu Road, the general may not have been to Xishu Road and don't know much about it, Luo'an City is a very quiet and remote town, there is only one way out of the city and down the mountain, from Luo'an City to the Taoist Mansion to walk for more than ten days, although it is only less than two hundred miles, the road is not open to cars and horses, can only walk, so the world says that Shu Road is difficult to go to the sky, when I followed General Zhuang Yong before, it is not like our sailor has a special vacation, and the one-year leave is not enough to go halfway, and the one-year leave after arriving at the sailor adds up a lot, But it's not enough to go back and forth. ”
"Do you regret it?"
Shen Leng asked, and after asking, Shen Leng regretted it.
"I regret it."
Xue Cheng's answer was beyond Shen Leng's expectations, he thought that what Xue Cheng was going to say was that he did not regret it.
"I'm so tired."
Xue Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "It took me eleven years to achieve the group rate, not only regretted it, but also jealous, jealous of many people who are better than me, and jealous of you, the general, always thinking that it would be best if I rode a five-flowered horse in the general's armor when I went home, but now I am a cripple when I go back...... I'm a stupid person, and my martial arts are not good, so most of the time I still accept my fate, but I can't stop being greedy, these days I've been thinking about when we come, eighty people, only half of them when I go back, I'm just missing half a leg, what else do you want? ”
After saying this, he lowered his head again, and his tone was very low: "I'm sorry general, I shouldn't have said this, and I don't know why I said this......
Shen Leng was also silent, and after a long time, he asked Xue Cheng: "What else do you want to do before leaving the water master?" Something I wanted to do before but didn't do it. ”
Xue Cheng raised his head: "Yes!" ”
"What?"
"I want to go to Chang'an to have a look."
After Xue Cheng finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head again, and his eyes fell on his broken leg: "However, I can't go." ”
"It's going to go."
Shen Leng said: "I'll take you there." ”
Pingyue Road.
Tooth City.
A merchant came out of the city gate with a burden, it seemed that he had not sold much so he was in a bad mood, it was past noon, his stomach was hungry and gurgling, he opened the money bag and looked at the copper coins in it, and hung the money bag back, and then took off the kettle and poured a few sips, and found that there was a shady place outside the city gate, thinking that the hunger would pass after a while.
This merchant looks twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a good countenance, at first glance he is a loyal and honest man, with dark skin and a strong body, and he picks more than twice as many things as other merchants, and the goods are more abundant, but after all, it is a small business.
Pacing out of the city a literati shaking a folding fan, looking about forty years old, the beard is clean, but it is inevitable that there will still be a layer of green scum that can be seen at a glance, he seems to dislike this color very much, so his face is also powdered, the weather here in Pingyue Daoya City sweats when he moves, the powder on his face has already been washed away by sweat, looking at his face is a little funny.
There was a donkey cart coming from the mountain road on the side of the sailor ship port, and the driver was a man who looked stout, looking really strong, but his skin was white, even if the two arms were exposed, the sun could not color him, he didn't have a beard, which made him very unhappy, he felt that a man should have the appearance of a man, thick arms, solid chest muscles, and a beard to look domineering.
So when he passed by, the scholar looked at him with envy, and he looked at the scholar with envy.
On the donkey cart sat a little girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a flower skirt, a pair of delicate and beautiful embroidered shoes on her feet, an oil-paper umbrella on her shoulder to block the sun, a pair of big eyes looked around curiously, as if she was very interested in this place, and there was a particularly large wooden box beside the little girl, which was unlucky to say, like a coffin.
"Ah Fu, I want that."
The little girl suddenly pointed to the merchant's burden, and in the sun, there was a butterfly-style hairpin shining.
The sturdy man named Ah Fu immediately stopped the donkey cart, and the little girl couldn't wait to jump down, picked up the hairpin and looked in the direction of the sun, thinking that it was really good-looking, and it matched herself.
"How much?"
Ah Fu asked angrily.
"Twenty copper coins."
The merchant replied with a smiling face, looking like he couldn't wait to complete the business.
"It's too expensive."
Ah Fu looked at the little girl in embarrassment: "We don't have much money, we can't spend it indiscriminately." ”
The little girl suddenly became unhappy: "Ah Fu picks the door, Ah Fu hates it." ”
The merchant hurriedly said: "Look at the two faces, the little girl really likes this hairpin, then nineteen copper coins." ”
The scholar snorted disdainfully: "As an elder brother, how can you be so stingy, isn't it just nineteen copper coins, I'll buy it for her, looking at this girl's innocence, why are you embarrassed to refute her!" ”
The scholar wanted to pay for it, but Ah Fu refused, so he took out the money bag himself, counted it three times carefully, and handed over the nineteen copper coins to the merchant: "She is not a little girl, she is three years older than me, she just doesn't grow up." ”
Then Ah Fu looked at the scholar: "She is my sister." ”
The scholar snorted as if he didn't want to deal with him, and suddenly he thought of something, looked at the big box beside the little girl, and turned sharply and walked towards the city gate, and his steps were so fast that he almost tripped over himself.
The merchant also came to his senses, and returned the nineteen copper coins in full: "The card was issued to her, and I will send you another purse." ”
Ah Fu looked at the little girl, and the little girl smiled even more happily: "Although I see through each other, I don't even have fun acting, but I'm still going to accept it, the juniors in the rivers and lakes are not particularly stupid after all, they are all running for one thing, I won't kill you with this hairpin, let's go, go and do business elsewhere, I'm here, and your business won't be able to continue." ”
"Yes, yes, what my aunt says is what it is."
The merchant hurriedly packed up his things, where there was still a little wilted appearance of hunger before, and his hands and feet were very neat.
"The scholar."
The little girl shouted, and the scholar, who had already run out a hundred meters, trembled in fright, so he had to turn around and come back.
"Auntie, what are you calling me for?"
"You didn't know who I was just now, but you still wanted to give me a hairpin, and I won't kill you...... You can guess who I am when you look at my box, and if you are a clever person, you can stay, help me inquire about the news, and if you get the silver, I will give you a share. ”
The scholar smiled bitterly: "Grandma, you can spare me." ”
"One percent of silver, or is it fate?"
Ah Fu asked in a humming voice.
The scholar could only nod and look at the merchant: "Do you want me to share half of you?" ”
The merchant picked up the burden and left: "Don't don't, that's what your aunt rewarded you." ”
At this moment, several huge warships sailed into the harbor, and several people looked at the side of the warship at the same time.
The scholar sighed: "Sure enough, there is no miscalculation, the group of people who went all the way to the country of Miao must be in the air, Zhuang Yong wants to protect Shen Leng, he will definitely not let them have the opportunity to do it in the country of Yao, one by one thinks that he is very smart, and thinks that pretending to be a person from the country of Miao to kill Shen Leng will have no worries, Zhuang Yong is not a fool, and Shen Leng is not, otherwise even Yao Taozhi will be defeated." ”
Hearing Yao Taozhi's words, the merchant's face changed, but he didn't speak.
"A person who can cut down the stray knife hall by himself, how can it be so easy to kill."
Ah Fu looked at the little girl: "Where to start?" ”
The little girl was seriously putting on a hairpin for herself, wanting to clip the bangs on her forehead, and the braids with double ponytails made her look really like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, Ah Fu picked a mirror from the burden and handed it to her, the little girl looked at the mirror and was very satisfied, and the merchant hurriedly said: "The mirror is also given to my aunt." ”
"Very good offspring."
The little girl glanced at the merchant appreciatively: "What's your name?" ”
"Aunt Hui, I'm from the northwest, my name is Yao Wuxian."
He smiled embarrassedly: "The name is borrowed." ”
The little girl was slightly stunned, and then laughed too: "What a big ambition." ”
She looked at the scholar, "What about you?" ”
"My name is Yan Lian."
The little girl snorted, "It's from the east, I've heard your name." ”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in Yacheng, followed by a group of cavalry in black brocade clothes roaring out, looking like no less than hundreds of horses, seeing these black horsemen, the faces of several people suddenly changed, and they involuntarily turned around, it was the black cavalry of the Tingwei Mansion.
After the black rode over, more than a dozen black-clothed knights came out, guarding a black carriage, when they saw the black horse, the four people just turned their heads, and after seeing the black carriage, the four people left at the same time, the little girl jumped on the donkey cart and raised an umbrella, not only to block the sun but also to cover her face, while Ah Fu lowered his head and drove the donkey cart, looking drowsy.
It's very fast to get into the play.
The merchant carried his burden and walked into the distance, followed by the scholar.
The black carriage passed by, and the middle-aged man in the carriage who was reading with his head down put down the scroll, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw the mast returning to Hong Kong The battle flag was flying, so the corners of his mouth rose up, and his mood suddenly improved.
