Chapter 20: Brothers and Sisters
In the afternoon of the next day, the two brothers waited for Xie Laosan and his party.
Because of the Yuhua Pavilion, it is estimated that there will definitely be an intersection with the King of Qi or the crown prince before entering the territory of Jinyang, and how to deal with it at that time is another headache.
Xie Shence didn't know anything about this matter, and Xie Shenwei had always been indifferent to these things, so he didn't know anything about it, and the two brothers didn't come to a conclusion for a long time, so the two of them passed everything that happened last night to the old lady through the carrier pigeon in the early morning.
Before waiting for the old lady's reply, the two brothers decided to take a good rest.
In the afternoon, Xie Shenwei took Xie San to the inn stables and asked Xie Shence to choose a war horse.
Zhao Qi really didn't tell a lie, but Xie Shence didn't expect Xie Shenwei to bring the horse directly to Yecheng, thinking that he would have to wait until he arrived in Jindu to see the good horse of the Northwest Army that Zhao Qi said, but he didn't want to see it at this time.
Huaiyang Dao has few war horses, mostly delicate and beautiful rouge horses, Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan once fought for half a month for a white foal. A top-notch war horse is the second life of a martial artist, and if the children of Xun Gui don't have a horse that can be on the table, they will be embarrassed to greet people when they go out and say that they are nobles.
Xie Shence had not yet entered the stable when he heard several neighing sounds, the voice was clear and majestic, and just by this shout, Xie Shence could be sure that the war horses in the stable were of extraordinary quality. Sure enough, when he entered the stable, Xie Shence's eyes lit up, and five tall horses were lined up and eating.
Xie Shenwei saw Xie Shence's amazing gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. Said to Xie Shence: "How are these horses? However, the best varieties that the uncle got from the Xianbei people can be compared with the tribute horses, and even surpass. Look at it. ”
Of course, Xie Shence will not be polite, and walks over to carefully judge them one by one.
In the end, Xie Shence chose a crimson horse with four snow-white hooves.
Xie Shenwei asked, "Why did you choose this one?" The green horse and the yellow horse are both more powerful horses than this one. ”
Xie Shence said: "Actually, it's nothing. Although the two horses are taller and more powerful, but the tall is tall, the strong is strong, I look at the musculoskeletal around the body, but not as coordinated as this one, if it is about collision and destruction, although this one may not be better than them, but the overall speed and endurance, the two horses are inferior. In fact, the real reason is that I feel that this horse is close to me. ”
Xie Shenwei clapped his hands and praised: "Sure enough, good eyesight, that's what Uncle said to me at the beginning." He said that the green onion burst very fast, but the follow-up was insufficient, the yellow horse was tall and strong, but not fast enough, the five horses were all good horses, but the most thousand miles of horses were white-hoofed horses. However, the most important thing for a war horse is to communicate with the master's heart, and bad horses and fierce horses are extremely rare on the battlefield. There are not a few good horses that die every year in Dajin. It's also rare for this horse to be close to you. ”
"Then let's call it a hoof."
"Good name."
In the evening of the same day, the brother received a reply from the old lady. There were only five words on the letter: Keep the Yuhua Pavilion.
Keep the Yuhua Pavilion? Yuhua Pavilion is currently the target of the princelings and the Qi Wang Party, and since the grandfather used the word "keep" in the letter, then on the way to Jinyang, it will definitely not be peaceful.
Two days later, the town of Sanyang.
"Brother, Sima Er's people have been hanging us for two days. It's about to go to Jinyang, and I guess they can't help it."
"If anything, it must be tonight. You can't let Yuhuating run away. By the way, how are your legs? ”
"Skin trauma, out of the way."
"Let Zhao Qi lead people to search for the situation within a radius of three miles. Also, be prepared to evacuate. As long as you survive tomorrow and get to the Jinyang realm, you will be fine. ”
Outside the town, after finding a inn that was not too big but won and stayed in a clean inn, Zhao Qi led his own people to survey the terrain, and the rest of the soldiers fed the war horses first.
Yu Huating's injuries have long been stabilized, but the knife in the back is really serious, plus other wounds on his body, the whole person has been wrapped, and his physical strength and spirit have not yet recovered due to poisoning. Although this upstart of the Northern Army has an extremely high force value, let alone escaping these days, it is difficult to even on his own. Xie Shenwei was worried that if he couldn't control the situation of Yuhua Pavilion, there was no possibility of it happening at all.
What the guards didn't expect was that Yuhuating didn't have much rejection of the Xie brothers, and he didn't refuse to eat, drink, serve and heal his injuries. just didn't say a word, and almost ignored the cold eyes of the soldiers of the Northwest Army and Xie Shence's talk.
After resting in Yecheng for two days, after leaving Yecheng two days ago, Xie Shenwei found that a group of people were hanging not far behind him. Because of the injury of the Yuhua Pavilion, it was impossible to speed up the road as fast as before Xie Shence, and the group specially vacated a carriage to place the Yuhua Pavilion. Coupled with the clues caused by a series of measures such as medicine collection and dressing change brought by healing, it can be said that the group was followed.
Xie Shence never thought that the group would really deceive Guo Fei, but if they couldn't deceive Guo Fei, they naturally couldn't hide it from Sima Er. Therefore, it is normal to be targeted as soon as the fight comes out of Yecheng. Regarding the exchange of Guo Fei and Sima's family in the middle, it was a matter for King Qi's camp, and the two brothers didn't pay attention to it at all.
Under Xie San's arrangement, Xie Shence Xie Shenwei and more than ten soldiers brought by Xie Shenwei lived in the inn, and the remaining more than 20 people and several big cars were stationed not far from the post road, not far from the inn.
Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei had dinner and saw that it was still early, so they left the inn, and the two went up a hill not far away, stationed on the slope of the mountain, and watched the sun gradually set.
"Brother, what do you want to do in the future?" Xie Shence asked.
Xie Shenwei said: "What else can you do?" Go to Northern Xinjiang, go to Western Xinjiang, go to Southern Xinjiang, I want to walk the road that my uncle has walked, I want to use the knife in my hand to expand the territory for my Dajin, and I want the reputation of the Xie family to resound all over the world. ”
"Uh, I mean, when are you going to get married?"
"A dignified eight-foot man, aiming at the horse leather shroud, why bother without a wife?" Xie Shenwei glanced at Xie Shence and said: "Second brother, I know that you have set a baby since you were a child, and you have been living a nourishing life in Chuzhou for more than ten years, but you must remember that you must not indulge in pleasure and indulge in lust." Otherwise, grandpa will forget it, and you know it if I don't say it. ”
"I didn't mean that, brother, you're seventeen years old, and your family has chosen several girls for you, and you don't agree with any of them, but my uncle has nagged me several times." Thank God.
Hearing Xie Shence mention marriage, and there was also the shadow of Xie Yi in it, Xie Shenwei's face, which had always had few expressions, also changed color. "There's no urgency in this matter, it's not too late to wait until the crown."
And the crown again? That's an old man, right?
It's a September day, and it's still a little hot. A secret storm unfolded in the Jin capital undoubtedly made those who knew the inside story even more depressed. The two brothers were indeed a little confused about what happened outside of this time. However, even so, the possible interception at night did not affect the brothers' chat. This is also the teaching and expectation of the two old men to the two brothers, and they should be calm when they encounter major events.
When the storm is coming, there are only these wonderful brothers who can still have the heart to discuss life events, and I think that the teaching of the two brothers by a few old people is extremely successful.
"Ahh
There was a sudden exclamation from the low bushes behind him, Xie Shenwei immediately pulled out the horse's head and pulled out his sword, stared at the figure hidden in the bushes and shouted, "What person!" Come out! ”
When Xie Shence turned around, it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who got up and walked out of the bushes, carrying a small bamboo basket with her hands and feet.
The light of the setting sun has a different kind of beauty reflected on the little girl. The little face that is not very beautiful is very clean, and she looks like an ordinary little village girl when she is dressed, and she looks at the two brothers with a little fear with a basket at this time.
It turned out to be a little girl picking mushrooms, no, a little girl digging wild vegetables.
The two brothers dismounted, but they were still armed with their knives. Xie Shence saw that the little girl stepped back in a little panic, and said softly: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people." ”
Why do you feel like your uncle is inviting you to eat candy? Xie Shence thought subconsciously.
Without waiting for the little girl to respond, Xie Shence continued: "The girl's hand was scratched? Can you take a look at it below? ”
Only then did the little girl react. said in a loud voice: "No, no, no, it's not in the way." "Just now I was digging wild vegetables, I saw two people coming up the mountain, I just thought it was very beautiful, I didn't feel that I looked at it for a while, but I didn't know that I was distracted for a while, and my hand was injured by the shovel, so I exhaled in surprise. I don't want to be found out. But it's a little embarrassing.
Xie Shence didn't want to step forward, but Xie Shenwei didn't care. His already tense nerves alerted him. I couldn't help but take the little girl's hand, and looked at it despite the little girl's exclamation. At this time, although the atmosphere of men and women is open, such rude behavior is rare, and Xie Shenwei is very light in terms of etiquette.
Without waiting for the little girl to struggle, Xie Shenwei let go of his hand and said, "The sharp weapon is scratched, and the wound is not deep." He glanced at the basket and said, "The shovel is not in the way." ”
The little girl waited for Xie Shenwei to let go of his hand, took a few steps back, distanced herself from the two brothers a little, and rubbed her somewhat painful wrists, angry and ashamed. Big eyes stared at the two brothers warily. Originally, I was just digging some wild vegetables, but I didn't know that when I met two light people, I thought these two people were good-looking.
"Sister, what's the matter?"
A voice came, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came out of the woods. walked up to the little girl and quietly protected the little girl behind him.
The boy was dressed in a plain, cloth trouser with trousers tucked into some old boots
When Xie Shence first saw He Ruoque, there were only two words: "amazing". It's as amazing as seeing Xi Shi, it's completely the eyes of a man looking at a woman.
It's not that He Ruoque looks handsome and beautiful, but there is a feeling of looking back suddenly. How do you say that? Just like the gentleness of the bowed head
It's a pity that He Ruoque doesn't have the same feelings for Xie Shence, he only feels that the beautiful young man has a soft smile, which makes him extremely uncomfortable, and the tall one with a saber exudes a strong threat. Subconsciously clenched the long rod wrapped in the coarse cloth in his hand.
Without waiting for the little girl to answer, Xie Shence took the lead and said: "This little brother, I saw that Ling Mei's hand was scratched, and I wanted to see the injury, but I was reckless in a hurry, and I hope to forgive me."
The tall and thin man also found his sister's wound at this time, and did not answer for a while. Tear a sleeve and bandage it. Just as he was about to move, he was stopped by Xie Shence.
"This little brother, slowly, the wound can't be bandaged like this."
The man glanced at Xie Shence vigilantly, but did not speak. The hand movement does not stop.
Seeing the beauty, oh no, the beautiful man didn't take care of himself, Xie Shence didn't say anything anymore, took a bag of water from the horse, came to the brother and sister, and said: "Little brother, Ling Mei's hand was scratched by a shovel, and the shovel dug up wild vegetables, it is inevitable that it will be a little dirty, and the wound should be cleaned and then bandaged with a clean bandage, otherwise it is very easy to cause wound lesions." As he spoke, he handed over the hydration bag.
The man paused, looked down and thought for a moment, then turned the water bladder and cleaned the wound and sleeve before bandaging.
Then he took the little girl and turned around and left without saying a word.
After the two left, Xie Shence asked Xie Shenwei, "Not them?" ”
Xie Shenwei shook his head and said, "No, that girl has calluses on her hands, but it is not caused by holding a weapon, it can be determined that it is an ordinary person." That man, well, it's not easy, and it might be more troublesome if you want to clean him up. However, what is certain is that they should be real brothers and sisters, so even if Sima Lao Er's person carries a burden, it is not difficult to clean up. ”
"Hehe, it's not the best."
"Huh? Why not the best? ”
"Huh? Oh, nothing. The man is kind of interesting. ”
"Second brother, you are a person with a wife, no matter how interesting a man is, it has nothing to do with you."
"Big brother, I didn't mean that"
Xie Shence is a little big. Xie Shenwei is usually very serious, but occasionally he inadvertently turns into a knife, which makes people cry and laugh.
"Alright. Let's go back, I guess tonight won't be so boring. After saying that, Xie Shenwei took the lead in getting on the horse, and the two brothers returned to the inn.
