238 Five men and three horses
In September, in the south of the Yangtze River, the autumn is high and cool, and the wild geese fly low.
"Drive, drive, drive!" Xiaoyaozi slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and the sound of the horse's hooves "deservedly".
Xiong Wei chased after him, the matter of Shaolin Temple was finally dealt with, and Xiong Wei found a new problem.
"Master, why did you come with Qianlong? Master, you knew that Qianlong was the prince before, why didn't you tell me! Master......
Xiaoyaozi waved his horsewhip fiercely, he really didn't have the energy to answer Xiong Wei's various questions. still threw the sentence "You have a lot of problems", and it quickly flashed.
Xiong Wei always kept asking questions until the answer was answered. Xiong Wei saw that Xiaoyaozi didn't answer, and also sped up, he quickly ran up, blocking Xiaoyaozi's way.
"Huh-" Xiaoyaozi grabbed the reins and looked at Xiong Wei inexplicably.
"Master, if you don't tell me, I always have a pimple in my heart, and I always think about this when I have a pimple. Master, tell me quickly!"
Xiaoyaozi saw Xiong Wei's serious appearance, and suddenly found that the child had grown up. It's no longer a matter of him using "you have so many questions", which can be dismissed in a short sentence.
Xiaoyaozi took a deep breath and told Xiong Wei that he had known that Qianlong was the prince for a long time, and that it was not because this matter was trivial, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Actually, he doesn't know whether Qianlong is the prince or not. He didn't know where Li Shizhen picked up the child back then. What do you tell Xiong Wei?
Qianlong is doing things for the emperor.
Xiaoyaozi thought: As long as it is good for the people, it doesn't matter whether Qianlong is the prince or not.
Xiaoyaozi told Xiong Wei that he was going to take Shui Furong and Ouyang Ying to Weishan Lake, but as soon as he came out of the Henan realm, he met a hidden dragon. Qianlong learned that the Shaolin Temple had been occupied by a group of inexplicable men in black, and was about to inquire about the news to see what was going on?
Xiaoyaozi decided to go to Shaolin Temple with Qianlong, and Shui Furong took Ouyang Ying back to Shandong.
Before Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, Xiong Wei's problem came again. "Ahh Master, why don't you take them with you? Just the two girls, one of them doesn't know martial arts, how can you rest assured!"
Xiaoyaozi shrugged her eyebrows and shook her head. "Can you please let me finish my comments before I finish. ”
Qianlong told Xiaoyaozi that there was another peasant uprising in Shandong, and he asked Xiaoyaozi to go to Shandong to help him check it out. As soon as Shui Hibiscus heard this, she took this job down.
Xiong Wei was even more shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Master, although Shui Hibiscus is considered a snake in Shandong, how can you let her deal with it herself?"
Xiaoyaozi saw Xiong Wei's expression and knew that he was worried about Shui Furong in his heart, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, looking at him and saying, "Don't worry, Shui Furong has already passed a message to me Feige, saying that their affairs have been done." Preparing for ......"
"What are you preparing?" Xiong Wei was about to ask if they would come to fight him, but Xia Yun next to him still held back.
"Why is the name Water Hibiscus so familiar, why is it always talking about her on the subject? Xia Yun was a little puzzled, she looked at Xiong Wei with a strange expression on her face.
"It's nothing, let's keep going!" Xiong Wei blushed and rode forward. His heart "chuckled", as if he was afraid that Xia Yun would ask something more, and he wouldn't be able to say it clearly.
Xiaoyaozi looked at Xia Yun and said, "Witch, let's go!" After speaking, he quickly stepped forward.
Xia Yun looked at the backs of the two of them, and the woman directly told her that Xiong Wei and Xiaoyaozi had something to hide from them. She muttered to herself, "These two men must have some secrets." ”
The wind whistled the willows on the shore, and they came to the shore, and the bears looked around.
He was looking for a boat to cross the river when he heard a familiar sound.
Xiong Wei pricked up his ears and looked back, not far away, Ouyang Ying didn't know where to come out.
"Big Dumb Bear, why are you here now, we've been waiting here for three days and three nights. It's so slow!" Ouyang Ying ran over and patted Xiong Wei's shoulder, and slapped her hands to speak.
Xiong Wei originally wanted to say a few words to Ouyang Ying, but saw that the pink water hibiscus behind him was walking slowly towards this side. He forgot to quarrel with Ouyang Ying. Looking at Shui Furong and asked with concern, "Is the matter in Shandong handled smoothly?"
Shui Furong nodded, she still wanted to say something, but when she saw Xia Yun behind her, she was jealous, pouted and said, "You still care about your Yun'er." ”
This happened to be heard by Xia Yun, she looked at Shui Furong's expression, and then looked at Xiong Wei.
Xiong Wei avoided Xia Yun's realization and looked at the river, where a small boat happened to come over.
Xiong Wei shouted: "A boat is coming, let's cross the river first!"
He looked at the boat, exhaled deeply, and sighed in his heart: this is really a life-saving ship.
Xiong Wei bought the boat with the boatman, and then inquired about how to go to Yangzhou, and went down the river.
Xiaoyaozi, Xiong Wei, Xia Yun, Ouyang Ying, and Shui Furong walked along the river together.
In the afternoon, the weather was still a little hot, and she was a little sleepy in hurrying, especially Ouyang Ying couldn't support it. Lying on Xiaoyaozi's lap and sleeping on the ground.
Xiaoyaozi looked at her cute appearance and shook her head, what a child.
Xiong Wei and Xia Yun sat in the stern of the boat, and Shui Hibiscus sat in the bow of the boat blowing the wind. Along the way, none of the three of them said a word.
The boat traveled down the river for half a day and finally reached the shore.
Ouyang Ying is a sleepy worm, and she can't wake up when she goes ashore. Xiaoyaozi had no choice but to carry her on her back.
"Master, it is estimated that there is still a long way to get to Yangzhou, you are injured, or I will carry it." Xiong asked with concern.
Xiaoyaozi was still not at ease, looking at Ouyang Ying in a daze on his back, although the injury was just right, he still wanted to carry it himself. He looked at Xiong Wei, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "You better blow your own porridge cold first!"
When Xiong Wei heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xia Yun looked at Shui Hibiscus, and Shui Hibiscus looked at Xia Yun.
"Master, then let's hurry up and go to the front post station to get some horses. Xiong Wei interjected the topic.
They walked another distance and finally found a station.
The officers immediately came out to meet them.
Xia Yun immediately took out the pass and said very domineeringly: "I want five horses!"
The messenger saluted Xia Yun, and then saluted a few people, and said, "Girl, all the good horses have been transferred by the prefect." Now there are only three horses in the station?"
"Three?" Xia Yun shouted, she looked behind her, and involuntarily, "These three horses, how can we ride them?"
Ouyang Ying looked at it, but she was in good spirits, and she grabbed Xiaoyaozi's hand delicately and said, "Master, is it okay for me to have a horse with you?"
Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "You have no problem with me, it's just that there are only two horses left, how should I divide them?"
Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun, and then looked at Shui Hibiscus. Water Hibiscus also looked at him.
"Yun'er, you and I have a horse, and Miss Yu herself has a horse. Xiong Wei looked at the situation, and it could only be like this.
As soon as Shui Hibiscus heard this, her heart immediately shattered. She clenched her fists tightly. She is a strong person, and the more Xiong Wei is like this, the more she has to win Xiong Wei's heart.
Xiong Wei saluted the servant and said, "Excuse me, you show us the way." ”
When she was about to get to the stable, Shui Hibiscus saw a stone on the road. A smug smile appeared on her face.
She deliberately stepped on the stone and twisted her foot deliberately. She was originally a person who knew martial arts, and if she used it a little, her ankle hurt a lot.
"Ouch!" Fleur snorted as she sat on the ground.
As soon as Xiong Wei heard Shui Hibiscus's voice, his pity was stunned, and he hurriedly ran over and helped Shui Hibiscus: "What's wrong with you?"
Shui Hibiscus deliberately contrived, and said to Xiong Wei delicately: "My feet are crooked, I can't walk, and there is no way." ”
"What should I do then?" Xiong Wei was a little helpless, and he didn't know what to do, "There is still a way to Yangzhou." ”
Xia Yun frowned, looked at the water hibiscus, and then looked at Xiong Wei. Along the way, she has seen what is wrong between Xiong Wei and Shui Hibiscus.
Xia Yun knew that Shui Hibiscus was originally a person who knew martial arts, even if she was crooked, a small stone, how serious it could be. Right now, there are only three horses. Xiong Wei just said that he wanted to let himself take advantage of a horse with him, and Shui Furong's face was obviously displeased.
Now, there is a sudden crooked foot, and this is definitely not a coincidence.
Xia Yun saw the carving insect skill at the bottom at a glance and felt very boring. She really couldn't see it, and said coldly to Shui Furong: "Don't pretend, a person who knows martial arts, how powerful can he be when his feet are crooked by a stone?"
When Shui Furong heard her words, tears flowed loudly, and big drops dripped out of her eyes.
Xiong Wei is most afraid of women crying, as soon as he sees her like this. There's Xia Yun over there, I really don't know what to do.
Xia Yun saw that she was actually crying, shook her head disdainfully and said, "Okay, don't cry." You can ride with the bears!"
After she had finished speaking, she took a horse out of the stable and walked away without looking back.
looked at the back of Xia Yun walking away, and then looked at the water hibiscus in front of him. Xiong Wei picked her up and helped her onto the horse.
Xiaoyaozi and Ouyang Ying rode the same horse and followed behind.
They walked for a while, and when they came to the vicinity of Yangzhou, they saw a tea shop on the side of the road from afar, and Ouyang Ying was clamoring to go in to rest and cool off.
Ouyang Ying immediately pointed to the tea shop on the side of the road and said, "Master, I can't walk. ”
"You didn't go, the horses were running, you were still relying on the master, why couldn't you walk?" Xiong Wei and Ouyang Ying would never have to quarrel.
"Ying'er, you come down first. Xiaoyaozi felt sorry for Ouyang Ying and picked her up from the horse.
Ouyang Ying ran and said, "Big stupid bear, I didn't tell you, you eat river water, and your mouth is always full of bar, bar, bar, bar, bar ”
"I'm tired all the way. Xiong Wei asked Shui Furong gently, "Are you tired, I'll help you down first and drink a glass of water." ”
Ouyang Ying was clamoring to drink water, and when Xiaoyaozi saw that it was almost at the gate of the city, it was better to stop and drink saliva and inquire about the news by the way.
Xiong Wei shouted at the front: "Yun'er, let's rest first and then let's go." ”
Xiong Wei didn't catch up with Xiong Wei all the way, Xia Yun was already angry in her heart, and when she heard Xiong Wei's shout, she finally felt some comfort in her heart.
Xia Yun's horse was a little further ahead than them, and when she heard Xiong Wei's shout, she also turned around, wanting to rest. This time, I happened to see Xiong Wei holding the water hibiscus.
Suddenly, I don't know why, her anger came up. Riding over, he coldly dropped the words: "Drink." Shall I go to the front and wait for you?"
"Eh! When Xiong Wei saw this, he hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him.
Xiaoyaozi looked at this scene, blew the teacup slightly, shook his head, and said, "Ying'er, hurry up and drink." !”
As he spoke, he sighed again, "Alas, it's not easy to drink tea." ”
Xia Yun didn't have time to pay attention to Xiong Wei along the way, and she was holding her breath in her heart, and she was looking for something to do. She rode a horse and found that there were many small vendors along the way, and she inquired about selling salt.
She wondered in her heart, the imperial court had clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to buy and sell illegal salt, why were there so many people selling salt privately in the suburbs of Yangzhou.
There are fewer people on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and the closer you get to Yangzhou, the more people sell salt privately.
Xia Yun was thinking about it, and Xiong Wei also caught up.
Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun with a puzzled face, thinking that she was angry with herself, and coaxed her to say, "Yun'er, what's wrong?"
Xia Yun said coldly: "No, I don't have time to be jealous, I'm eating salt!"
"Salt?" Xiong didn't understand what she was talking about.
Xia Yun looked at Xiong Wei with a puzzled face, and said, "The war in the imperial court is urgent, and the salary of the frontier army has not been supplied for a long time. The biggest fat is the salt tax in the Jianghuai area. However, this salt tax ......"
Xia Yun hesitated when she said it, and didn't say any more.
Xiong Wei reacted at this time, this way, thinking about Shui Hibiscus in his mind, the most important question, he forgot to ask.
