Chapter 45 Commitment(1/2)

Xi'an Prefecture is the capital of Shaanxi and the ancient capital. The tall city walls and magnificent buildings are unique to other majestic things.

Fu Tingyun grabbed the thick rope tightly and watched Mo Yi and others looking up at her on the ground, getting smaller and smaller.

"Miss," Zheng Sanniang, who had come up earlier, reached out and pulled her, "Be careful."

Fu Tingyun looked up and saw Zhao Ling standing under the city wall.

The gentle moonlight quietly fell on him, and the tall tower blocked his tall figure. His face was half hidden in the shadow of the tower, and half under the moonlight, with an inexplicable calmness and loneliness.

Seeing Fu Tingyun looking at him, he smiled slightly, his smile dispelled his coldness and felt a little warmth.

Asen walked over with Linchun in his arms: "Girl, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Fu Tingyun smiled at him. Under the moonlight, it was like a quiet celestial cereus, with a kind of prosperous and beautiful beauty.

Zheng Sanniang couldn't help but murmured: "Miss, you are so beautiful."

The guards next to them were already worried: "Hurry up, don't be too slow. If they are discovered by the commander who is patrolling the night, we will all die."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zheng Sanniang took the child from Asen's hand and apologized in panic.

Zhao Ling decided to leave Linchun Town, and Fu Tingyun wanted to bring Zheng San's family with him: "Because they are fetching water and washing clothes for us, their family has been regarded as our people by the refugees in Linchun Town. If we leave, they may have a dead end. I am still a little soft and soft enough to pay our reward for entering the city."

Zheng San was grateful when he knew it, so he pulled Zheng Sanniang with red eyes and wanted to kowtow to Fu Tingyun.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly grabbed Zheng Sanniang: "To be honest, I've been implicating you."

"Miss, don't say that. If it weren't for you, our whole family would not be able to survive." Zheng San said, "I don't have much ability, I just have the strength to be stupid," he said, smiling bitterly. "It's because the lady gave me some food to survive. My husband and wife can't repay my great kindness in this life. My family, Linchun, Linchun, and Linchun's son. As long as the lady says something, she goes through fire and water, she will never refuse."

Zhao Ling, who was watching from the side, was thinking. He told Zheng San on the way: "If you don't have a place to go, why don't you follow Miss Fu? Don't say anything else, as long as she eats in one bite, you will eat in one bite."

Zheng San didn't say anything and had to recognize his master halfway.

Wouldn't this be a mercy?

"No need!" Fu Tingyun waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhao Ling ignored him and said to Zheng San: "When you enter Xi'an Prefecture, Manager Mo will be a witness. You should write the Zhang Tengkang document!"

He actually wants someone else's contract to sell his body!

Fu Tingyun was about to object, but when he saw Zhao Ling's stern gaze, he had to swallow all the words to his mouth.

Zheng San agreed immediately.

When entering the city, the guards lions spoke loudly, asking for thirty taels of silver per person. Even Linchun was one person, and they wanted to save silver. Mo Yi was so angry that he jumped straight away. Zhao Ling took out three big yellow croakers from somewhere and handed them to the guards. The guards' eyes glowed, and immediately asked the guards on the city tower to put down the hanging basket.

Zheng Sanniang felt panicked when she thought of the big yellow croaker she had given to the guard.

If they failed to enter the city because of her, it would be a pity for her to die a hundred times or even a thousand times.

She didn't dare to say more, so she stood aside and watched the guards pull Mo Yi, Zheng San, Chen Liu, Xiao Wu and others up one by one.

"Let's go!" Unlike Zheng San and Asen's silence, Mo Yi, Chen Liu and Xiao Wu both seemed very relaxed. "We find a place to wait for dawn - this midnight, the city curfew will be a little more troublesome if the patrol patrolmen are alarmed."

No one made any noise. He followed Mo Yi down the city wall and went westwards. He passed by the guards who were patrolling the city several times. Mo Yi led them to cleverly avoid it. Finally, he stopped next to the street where singing and dancing was: "Wait a moment, I can find a place to change our clothes. We are so good at night, but it will be dazzling in the daytime. Others can tell at a glance that they are refugees. Now, when Xi'an Prefecture sees refugees, they will be escorted to Jiuligou."

Everyone didn't say anything, and stayed there, Mo Yi took Chen Liu to the next door.

Seeing that the big red lanterns on the street next door illuminated half of the sky, Yingying and Yanyan laughed constantly, and it was very lively, Fu Tingyun said strangely: "Are you in the singing hall next door? I don't know which one it is? It's so grand."

Zhao Ling stood with his hands behind his back, as if he hadn't heard her words. Asen lowered his head, Xiao Wu looked around, Zheng San stood far away with a huge bag on his back, and no one answered her words.

In silence, the woman next door smiled more clearly, reflecting the lonely and empty street.

Seeing that everyone ignored Fu Tingyun's words, Zheng Sanniang was afraid that Fu Tingyun would be unhappy and smiled and said, "Xi'an is worthy of being the capital of Shaanxi. The wealthy families invited so many people to come in one go. There was no such scene when the county magistrate's birthday in our place."

"What nonsense!" Zheng San's forehead was sweating, and he scolded his wife, "Miss, how can you speak up?"

Zheng Sanniang shrank for a moment.

"It's just a gossip together, so there are not so many rules," Fu Tingjun smiled, "Be careful to wake up the child."

Zheng San smiled awkwardly.

Zhao Ling suddenly said, "Let's walk a few steps in! Standing at the intersection of the street is easy to be discovered by patrol guards."

Xiao Wu replied "Yes" repeatedly, and everyone took more than twenty steps back.

After a while, Mo Yi and Chen Liudiao came back.

"Okay!" Mo Yi looked happy, "Come with me." He led them into an alley on the other street and into a remote and messy yard.

There was a small regression in the yard.

Fu Tingyun and Zheng Sanniang first changed their clothes, followed by Zhao Ling and the others.

After almost all preparations, there was a trace of light in the sky.

The group left the yard.

The street next door was quiet, and occasionally two men in a hurry walked past them with a strong fragrance.

Fu Tingyun was secretly strange.

Mo Yi took them to an inn called "Gaosheng" not far away, claiming to be a traveling businessman and wanted to book a side courtyard.

The shopkeeper was a white and fat man with his eyes narrowed into slits: "Master, I'm so sorry, our inn is full. Why don't you go to the "Liansheng" inn next door to take a look?"

They went to Liansheng Inn, but there were only two rooms left in Liansheng Inn. With the recommendation of the shopkeeper, they went to another inn called "Xilian". The inn has a small courtyard, which costs only ten taels of silver a day, and they still have to trade in cash.

Mo Yi looked at Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling looked at Mo Yi: "I am penniless."

Everyone was stunned.

Fu Tingyun was even more sad.

How could he be unreserved?... If it weren't for Mo Yi staying in the inn this time, would he never be prepared to let people know about this? Thinking of the tub of bath water from Li Jia'ao, Zhao Ling was embarrassed because she had no money... She felt like she was stabbed by someone, and her heart was so painful that she couldn't express her feelings.

She stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes.

He turned around: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it later."

In front of everyone, Fu Tingyun couldn't hold on.

Mo Yi glared at Zhao Ling: "You were penniless and gave the three big yellow croakers guarding the gate in one breath?"

Zhao Ling said: "I see you bought so many ingredients in one go, and didn't take a single item when you left. I thought Brother Mo had made arrangements."

Mo Yi was so angry that he walked around at the inn. It took him a long time to stop and take them to the next inn.

Fu Tingyun found an opportunity to whisper to Zhao Ling: "I still have some fineness in my bag..."

Before she could speak, Zhao Ling said, "I have a sense of my own in this matter, don't worry about it."

Fu Tingyun calmed down.

After noon, they finally found a suitable place to live in an inn called "Xisheng".

I didn't eat breakfast, the sun was too strong, and I kept walking around, and everyone was so tired. I arranged my accommodation, had a bad lunch in the inn, and after washing, everyone fell asleep. Only Zheng San was guarding the door of the courtyard with vigilance.

It was not until the lights were held that everyone woke up one after another.

Zhao Ling called Zheng San and his wife to go, Mo Yi was witnessing, asking them to press their handprints on the written contract, then knocked on the gate of the east wing where Fu Tingyun was resting, handed the contract to Fu Tingyun, and whispered: "Where is your bracelet? Put away the things!"

I can't wait to let Zheng San sign the contract...

Fu Tingjun felt that Zhao Ling was not generous enough in this matter.

Zhao Ling whispered: "I have observed carefully. Zheng San is smart and capable, and knows how to fist and kick; Zheng Sanniang is loyal, honest and diligent. If you have these two people around you, you will have a reliance on what happens in the future... This contract for sale must be signed."

rely?

Why did she rely on Zheng San and his wife?

The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun suddenly realized that she was already in Xi'an Prefecture.

According to their agreement, when he arrived at Xi'an Prefecture, he would find a way to deliver a letter to her mother... and then his mother would arrange what she would do...

Zhao Ling is about to separate from her!

Fu Tingyun's face suddenly turned pale.

Fear, sadness, loss... comes one after another.

But so what?

This is an agreement that was made early in the morning.

He had already paid a lot for her... From Huayin to Weinan, from Weinan to Xi'an Prefecture, she could no longer bother him.

He knew it was like this, but why did she feel unspeakable sadness in her heart?

He knew he had thought of everything for her, but why did she still feel scared?

I knew I should thank him with gratitude at this time, but why can't I say thank you?

Fu Tingyun looked at him in panic, his eyes becoming wet for no reason.

Zhao Ling sighed softly in his heart.

I will send you thousands of miles away, and there will be a farewell.
To be continued...
