Three hundred and fortieth chapters can't help themselves
Zhai Biao said again:
"When we left Yinshan, the second brother and the fifth brother analyzed how Pei Zhenglun chose his targets. They were all shot in the dark by Pei Zhenglun, but none of us guards and coachmen who were closer to you were shot.
At first I thought it was because of Wan Yan Gang, but then I thought it was because of you, because with your two abilities, there was no way to avoid Pei Zheng Lun's hidden shot without any warning, so the two arrows shot at you and Wan Yan Gang were clearly visible.
It's a bitter plan.
They analyzed that you may be a Qi spy who has an old relationship with the Pei family! We have benefited from you, so we have not been shot. But I don’t think you are a spy. Spies are not so kind and risk being discovered.
risk to save a few unrelated people."
Seeing the last car passing by, He Qizhou whispered to Zhai Biao: "I did hide some things from you, but it was for your own good. Just keep what you said to me in your heart. Don't tell me anymore."
I have told anyone. I am very happy to meet you as a friend. If I can return to Qi smoothly, Dejia and you are the people my wife and I want to thank the most. Let’s follow them quickly. When the world is peaceful in the future, I will still
I will find a way to see you."
It was almost dark when we arrived at Zhennanguan without any danger. Zhennanguan is a mile square and is surrounded by a loess wall more than ten feet thick and ten feet high. There is also an earthen platform thirty or forty feet high in the middle of the city.
A sentry tower more than ten feet high was built to observe the Qi Guoguan City three miles away to the south.
The convoy entered from the north gate. There were dozens of officers and soldiers outside the small city gate, who were heavily guarded. Patrolling guards walked past the wall from time to time. Since Sikong Lang and Guo Wen had greeted each other in advance, the convoy was allowed to pass without much inspection.
.
The whole town is a military camp, but there is a small inn in the northwest corner, which should be prepared for caravans. It is said that it is an inn, but it is actually a cave dwelling dug out from the side of the thick earth wall. He Qizhou came from Zhai Biao's place.
I learned that a clay kiln house that is more than one foot wide and three feet deep costs five taels of silver per night, which is actually more expensive than the Tianzi house in Danguiju, Jiangling Prefecture.
Guo Wen was really polite to He Qizhou and asked for a room for him alone, while the others still shared a room with five or six people. But even so, the guards and coachmen felt much more comfortable than living in a felt shop. Tuyao Chao
In the south, the solid wooden door and the thick curtain blocked the cold air at night. Charcoal was burned under the earthen kang, and it was as warm as spring on the kang. Being in a military camp, there was no longer the feeling of danger.
In fact, the possibility of Qi's advance through here is very slim. The reason why Zhou built Guancheng here is mainly because there is a water source here. Within a hundred miles of Fangyuan, except for the Zhenbeiguan opposite, this small town is the only one that can attack the enemy.
There are two deep wells, so the guest room in the earthen kiln is quite luxurious with a wooden bucket for washing, and a small iron stove with a full pot of water.
However, Guo Wen has taken care of it and can only use this water at most. Those two wells are the biggest wealth of the town, so even if you want to buy water, the defenders may not sell it to you. Xu Muxue, who has not taken a bath for more than half a month,
After entering the room, he felt itchy and asked He Qizhou to quickly open the stove door to boil water.
He Qizhou tasted the slightly astringent water in the pot and said, "It's a bit astringent, but it's not poisonous!"
"I don't want to drink, I want to scrub. Turn around and look at the door! Don't look back." The earth walls between each cave are extremely thick, and there are wooden doors and curtains at the door, so there is no need for the two of them to talk.
Worried about being overheard by others, Xu Muxue could finally take off her thick leather coat with confidence.
"Okay." He Qizhou turned up the fire, turned to the door and crossed his legs to do the exercises. He had missed a lot of homework these days, so he couldn't waste any more time if he had the chance.
"Xiaoxue, have you ever heard of the names Xinglongji and Bailiju?" Qi Zhou asked while vomiting.
"What's wrong? Xinglongji is a well-known store in Shanxi. Bailiju is mainly distributed in Shaanxi and Gansu. Speaking of it, it is still a store under our Zhang family." Xu Muxue prepared a change of clothes, cloth towels, and wooden barrels, and was waiting for water.
It's boiling.
"Ah? Guo Wen said that these two companies are the main ones that have been doing business with them all year round. I still want to follow the clues to find the general. How come your family is also involved?" Qi Zhou asked in surprise.
"Xinglong Ji seems to belong to the King of Jin's family. Let's not be rash first and wait until we return to Qi to figure out the situation." Xu Muxue was also a little surprised.
"I stopped to observe before entering the city just now. The ruts on the grain carts of the Yan Gang are still very deep. I don't know what kind of heavy objects they are really carrying. Even Jiang Li and Zhai Biao don't know."
"Don't take the risk to check. When I entered the city, I found that the soldiers here seemed to be very strong, far from ordinary soldiers." Xiaoxue said.
"I can see it too. Just wait until tomorrow to remind our defenders to be careful. Also, Zhai Biao, who looks stupid, has already discovered that we are fake shepherds..." He Qizhou added the conversation with Zhai Biao before entering the city.
The conversation was repeated with Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue said: "There is nothing we can do about it. We learn to disguise ourselves and rarely pretend to be people we are not familiar with, because it is easy to be seen. According to what you said, even if Si Kong Lang didn't notice it, he must have become suspicious. We
It’s better to be careful and wait and see what happens.”
Qi Zhou asked: "How is your poison gone? How much of your power has you recovered?"
"I think at least 60% of the toxins have been eliminated, and my strength has been restored to 50%. Now my energy and appetite are much better, and I am not afraid of the cold anymore. What about you?"
"I am non-toxic and light-weight, because I delayed my practice along the way. Now I have only returned to ten stamina, and I haven't made much progress!"
"But! Don't be too complacent, be careful to reveal your flaws at the last moment!" Xiaoxue sneered and began to pour water and scrub.
"Oh - don't pour out the whole pot of water, what should I do?" He Qizhou heard the voice, and Xiaoxue seemed to have poured the pot of water cleanly.
"I didn't tell you earlier! If I had known earlier, I would have given you a break." Xiaoxue said.
"Leave 10%? Wash the cat? Forget it, don't pour out the water after washing, I will wipe it again. I haven't had a bath since I came out of Xuancheng." He Qizhou, who has been fond of water since he was a child, actually does it every day.
Thinking about the comfort of soaking in hot springs.
"It's up to you, as long as you're not afraid of my foot odor!" Xu Muxue smiled, with obvious shyness in her laughter.
"No idea, you are the most smelly person I have ever smelled." Qi Zhou said.
"Don't lie to me. The romantic He Zhuangyuan is a frequent visitor to the major brothels in the capital. The girls there are all called incense. There are all kinds of incense, but I never use incense powder or anything like that."
road.
"Stop teasing me. Why don't you go there in the future? Besides, you've seen that I never go to a brothel without touching anything. I have a good nose, but there's nothing I can do about it. It smells good.
, but how can it compare with your smell? Even if you don’t wash for half a year, you still smell better than them."
"Ugh..." Xiaoxue made a long sound of vomiting, but couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Then I will keep a pair of socks from now on, and I won't wash them for half a year, as a personal token for you."
“It’s a deal!”
…
As wide as the earthen kiln is, the earthen kang is as wide as the earthen kang. The two of them slept on one side of each other wearing single clothes and blankets, but found that neither of them could fall asleep. They could only keep talking: "Xiaoxue, I find that you are getting more beautiful every day. You are more beautiful these days."
You are wrapped up tightly all day and night, are you afraid that others will notice you?"
"Is it over yet? It's like this. I'll be embarrassed to see my mother when I go back."
"Whose mother? Mine?"
"Go, go, go!" Xiaoxue aimed at He Qizhou's butt and kicked him hard through her own blanket.
He Qizhou said angrily: "I promised not to kick my ass, so why are you here again?" After saying that, he actually lifted his own blanket, got into Xu Muxue's blanket, and hugged each other from behind. The two of them were in the snowy mountains and desert.
We have long been accustomed to hugging each other in various postures to keep warm. However, since Xiaoxue can exercise Qigong to keep out the cold, and there are many people crowded into the same yurt along the way, there is rarely any skin-to-skin contact anymore.
"You think I'm afraid of you!" Xiaoxue turned around and hugged He Qizhou tightly. Their legs were clamped together in a familiar way. Xiaoxue's right face was resting on He Qizhou's left face.
"It smells so good! You've gained weight! Oh, the roots of your hair are all black, as black as your original hair!" Holding Xiaoxue, the ribs in He Qizhou's impression suddenly became softer, although he still felt very thin.
But there was an indescribable feeling of joy in my heart. It was a feeling that had only appeared in dreams, and was completely different from the hug during the martial arts examination.
"I found out a few days ago, and you have grown stronger." Xiaoxue replied in a low voice, with joy and a little panic in her voice.
"The voice is still as good as before." He Qizhou turned half of his body and pressed Xiaoxue under him for some reason. He raised his hands and looked at Xiaoxue's cheeks that were gradually swelling. His originally fair skin turned completely red.
"Porphyrin!" He Qizhou lowered his head and kissed her directly.
"Hmm..." Xiaoxue wanted to hide, but also wanted to welcome him. After being kissed on the face, she hugged He Qizhou tightly, burying her head in the side of the other person's neck, as if to avoid the other person to continue kissing, but what greeted him was
The other party continued to kiss her forehead, cheeks, and pink neck desperately.
"No, no!" Xiaoxue seemed to have used all her strength to push He Qizhou away from her, gasping: "I, we are not married yet!"
"Yes, I'm sorry!" He Qizhou knew he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly got back under his blanket and said, "I, I don't know why this happened."
"Let's call off the marriage first when I get back." Xiaoxue's voice was as light as a mosquito's moan, and she no longer acted as heroic as Xu Mushi.
He Qizhou said happily: "When I get back, I'll ask my mother to hire a matchmaker! Don't think I'm poor!"
"You are richer than me, and you still have an official salary in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Xiaoxue said.
"That makes sense, hahaha. Let's kiss her for the last time and go to bed." He Qizhou didn't care whether Xu Muxue wanted to or not. He pounced on Xu Muxue again and kissed her on the forehead, then quickly returned to his place, covered his head and went to sleep. Xiaoxue Ben
I want to kick it in a few more times, but think about it and leave it at that, so as not to make the two of them distracted again.
