"Master Yang loves Miss Luo very much, but he sent you to handle this extremely dangerous matter. Then Minister Lu must have a good relationship with your father." Zhang Ning took the opportunity to inquire about the connections in the court in a casual tone. He told Daming
My cognition of the North is limited to the few things in Nanjing’s streets and lanes in my memory, which is really little more than a blank.
Downwind came the voice of Luo Yaoniang, who was driving the horse in front: "Who do you think my father is? Do you think everyone will only help people with whom they have a good relationship? My father and Lu Shilang have no personal contact except for official business.
, I saved him firstly for the sake of justice, and secondly because Shilang Lu is a loyal minister and good official. A good official who serves the country and the people has been wronged for no reason. How can he stand by and watch! My father sent me here for no other reason. I can do this.
And there are not many people who can be trusted. How much power do you think Zuo Yude has? His errand is just to give lectures to the prince and accompany him to study, so where can he find people in such a short period of time?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ning thought: "We have never known each other before. Why can Yu Qian, the subordinate of Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, say with certainty, "Luo Yaoniang is the daughter of Mr. Yang, you can trust her"? He also said that Yu Qian was the head of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Zhen was the one who committed the crime.
Zhen was the minister of the Ministry of Rites and had a direct subordinate relationship. It is understandable that Yu Qian was busy with Lu Zhen; but Yang Shiqi was a bureaucrat in the East Palace and had little contact with the officials of the Six Ministries in official matters, so how did he get involved?
Zhang Ning knew very little about their relationship, but he could make a rough guess based on this little information. Unfortunately, Luo Yaoniang, who was from Yang Shiqi's family, didn't know at all, and Zhang Ning didn't know whether she was tight-lipped or not.
Too naive indeed.
Since she answered like this, it was inconvenient for him to ask any more questions. Anyway, Zhang Ning's current feeling about the situation was: his eyes were filled with mist, and he was crossing the river by feeling the stones.
In the afternoon, when he stopped again to change horses and stirrups, Zhang Ning alertly found a ragged man hiding in the grass, but the man didn't move, so he didn't say anything and just kept an eye on it. Luo Yaoniang took off the stirrups.
When he noticed Zhang Ning's gaze, he said: "Don't look at it, they must be dead, starved to death... Look at the nearby trees, the bark has been peeled off, this county has either suffered a disaster or the officials have failed to manage it well."
After Zhang Ning was reminded by her, he was shocked when he saw that many trees had no bark on their lower parts. Luo Yaoniang said easily: "You have always only stayed in the wind, flowers, moon and snow of Jinling. If you often
When you travel, this kind of situation is not surprising."
"But why do you have to speak in such a tone?" Zhang Ning frowned.
Luo Yaoniang sneered: "Are you angry?"
Zhang Ning's expression returned to normal, and she didn't want to argue with her about such a thing at this time. Luo Yaoniang said: "My father said that the world cannot be governed well because of the few officials with good character and ability. Now you still say that we should not
Risking your life to rescue someone who is not your relative?"
"Human beings can't be that simple, otherwise how could there be so many moral books and criminal laws?" Zhang Ning couldn't help but sigh.
Luo Yaoniang patted the horse's back and turned around and said, "Let's hit the road. Why are there so many worries? Do what you can do first. What's the use of sighing about things you can't manage?"
The two of them rode on the same horse and continued on their way. Now Zhang Ning's mental pressure has been reduced a lot. Sure enough, the famous saying of Fire Cloud Evil God "The only martial arts in the world is fast" is very reasonable. How many moves does Ren Zhou Na and his gang have?
If you lose, you lose at a certain speed. It always takes time to transmit information and react, right? It’s just that the body is not feeling well, and it feels like the bones are about to be broken apart. He has never been so tossed on horseback. It has been almost a whole day.
I didn't sleep well in the two nights before the horse, and I was very drowsy and exhausted. I guess Luo Yaoniang was not much better. She still had to control the horse all the time, which was long and tiring. As a girl, she can have such good physical strength.
Zhang Ning admires her for her energy and ability to do things as well as men.
The surrounding houses and trees were flying by in the wind, like a horse watching flowers, and like the fleeting time, everything suddenly seemed like a dream. Zhang Ning became happy again in the slight melancholy. No matter what, he would make money in this life, and he would die once.
People can see everything more clearly. The sun slowly sets, the night falls on time, and the running continues.
Drowsiness came over him due to exhaustion, but he couldn't fall asleep. Legend has it that the cavalry of the nomadic people could march for many days in a row and sleep on horseback. Zhang Ning found this legend incredible.
He could only endure it like this, his consciousness was blurred and his energy was listless. Suddenly Luo Yaoniang's voice came: "Your package has fallen." Only then did he realize that he was stuck on her back somehow, stuffed in the middle.
The package of clothes was missing. The light was dim and it was impossible to turn his horse back to find a package containing dirty clothes, so he said "Oh" and said nothing.
It's okay that Luo Yaoniang didn't remind him. As soon as he reminded him, his mind became clearer, and his attention was immediately attracted by the touch of her back. The less he thought about it, the more it would appear in his mind, the inner arc line, on the hip.
The bones suddenly climbed up, forming a very elastic buttocks... He even became hard immediately and pressed directly against her buttocks. He moved back and away from her back, but this could not solve the problem.
He couldn't hold on. Once he relaxed, the two of them had to stick together, otherwise he would fall sooner or later.
What's even worse is that as time goes by, his work keeps rubbing on Luo Yaoniang's buttocks in the bumps. Although they are separated by clothes, it is enough for Zhang Ning to bear, and he can't help it in his mind.
Fantasy. After a while, he only felt that his scalp was numb and his leg muscles were tense. For some reason, his hands suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Yaoniang's buttocks. Then there was a "buzzing" in his head, and he felt a heat somewhere...
…
"Neigh!" The horse screamed and was restrained. Zhang Ning's body suddenly moved towards Luo Yaoniang's body. She immediately jumped off the horse and pulled Zhang Ning down. Zhang Ning felt pain all over his body.
He fell on the post road, then got up and looked up, only to see Luo Yaoniang staring at him with an angry look on her face. But he stayed there like a chicken, speechless, and wished he could find a hole to crawl in.
"When this is over, I will kill you with my own hands!" Luo Yaoniang said through gritted teeth, her voice choked up, and tears welled up from her eyes as soon as she opened her mouth. Zhang Ning was stunned there, his mind went blank.
, only one thought | The man's body is really not easy to control. He realized the seriousness of the matter, and after a while he calmed down a little, thinking: Although your family is powerful, at least there must be a reason for killing people. How dare you put today
Is it too late to talk about it? This is in the Ming Dynasty.
After thinking about it, he said: "If you want to kill or behead me, I have to do whatever you want."
Luo Yaoniang said: "Kowtow to me and confess your sins now!" Zhang Ning blushed and said: "I only kneel to my father and mother, the king of heaven and earth."
"You scoundrel, get down on your knees!" Luo Yaoniang grabbed Zhang Ning's arms and pushed him down. Zhang Ning resisted and refused to kneel down. Is he still a man with strength? Luo Yaoniang wanted to push him down like this.
It was more difficult to go down. Suddenly his left knee felt numb and he knelt down on one knee. It turned out that he received a moderate kick but it hit his soft spot accurately. Damn, this bitch knows martial arts. Zhang Ning then
It was impossible to stand up, and he would probably have to kneel down soon. He suddenly opened his arms and threw forward to push her over, but unexpectedly missed her, and fell to the ground immediately, chewing a mouthful of mud.
He hurriedly sat up, vomited a few times, and cursed: "Your sister, are you done with it? Just kill me with a knife here to save so much trouble!"
Luo Yaoniang finally calmed down and said coldly: "Come here! Mount your horse!"
The two of them started to have a cold war. Luo Yaoniang remained silent and Zhang Ning had nothing to say. However, he then broke the rules and stopped pretending to be a gentleman. He stayed close to Luo Yaoniang on the horse the whole time.
Near noon the next day, they arrived at Huaiyin Post along the post road to exchange horses and receive dry food and water. Luo Yaoniang asked for a stack of rice paper among the supplies, but the post signed it for her. Zhang Ning didn't know what she was doing with it.
Yes, let’s just say this girl wants to practice calligraphy and painting on horseback.
While waiting for Luo Yaoniang to sign the bond in the mortgage room, Zhang Ning took a basin of water and washed the silk scarf in his sleeve. A pink silk was quite thick, which the girl handed to her after the fire that night.
It was something he used to bandage his wound. Later, he and Wang Jian left Aunt Li's house, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye, so they never saw the girl again. Silk was soft and easy to clean, so Zhang Ning scratched it on a washing stone in the inn.
After using the soap locust, the blood stains on the silk were wiped clean, and it looked like new. After finishing this matter, I went home to see the girl and returned it to her.
"What are you working on? Come on over and hit the road!" Luo Yaoniang shouted while leading the horse, and Zhang Ning hurriedly picked up a wooden stick and left.
After more than a day and night of continuous horse riding exercise, Zhang Ning had mastered the balance on the horse and could not fall off even if he let go of his hands on the seat. With nothing to do, he tied one end of the silk he had just washed to a wooden stick and took it.
Yes, the wind was strong when the horses were galloping. I guess it would be dry in less than half a day.
Luo Yaoniang noticed the pink color, looked back, and immediately cursed: "Shameless thing!"
Zhang Ning couldn't help but said: "As a woman, you have to be more reserved. How can anyone curse like you when you open your mouth?"
"You're quite reserved when you use a woman's tube top as a flag!" Luo Yaoniang said angrily.
"Ah?" Zhang Ning suddenly blushed. No wonder many passers-by had strange expressions. He really didn't realize that this cut piece of silk was a bra. If it was a bra, he would definitely recognize it at a glance...
That night in Aunt Li's yard, the girl couldn't find any cloth and just pulled out her underwear to bandage her wound? This, she was too willing to do this.
Zhang Ning hurriedly untied the pink tube top from the wooden stick and put it into his arms. His mood was complicated, and he was thinking about it for a while. The pure and beautiful face seemed to be right in front of him, and the soft and fragrant body seemed to have just fallen from his
Breaking free from his arms.
"Take it out!" Luo Yaoniang shouted sternly.
Zhang Ning said: "Why?"
"Hand it over to me, you are such a shameless woman to give you such a thing!" Luo Yaoniang turned her upper body to the side and reached out to grab it with an angry look. Zhang Ning heard her calling her sister a shameless woman and said angrily.
: "It's none of your business! Hold on to the reins. Do you want to die?"
Tick tick tick... the sound of horse hooves did not stop for a moment. Luo Yaoniang was very good at riding. She could twist her body and still sit firmly on the horse, but Zhang Ning could not do it. The struggle with her was very thrilling. Luo Yaoniang took advantage of the situation.
Finding a trace of pink in his collar, she quickly reached out and grabbed the silk and pulled it out. She grabbed it in her hand and tore it open with a "swish" sound, but continued without tearing.
She gritted her teeth and pulled hard, "It's none of my business, I just want to take care of it." Her voice was strange, and tears welled up in her eyes. When Zhang Ning saw this, he stopped entangled with her and let her vent her anger.
She crumpled the things into a ball and threw them to the roadside, then turned around.
The two fell silent soon. Zhang Ning found that her shoulders were shaking and he couldn't see her face. He thought for a while and said: "This is my sister's thing. It was stolen by an unknown person at home that night."
Someone attacked me and I injured my palm while escaping. Then there was a fire next door. My family came out to see me. My sister bandaged my wound but couldn't find gauze for a while, so I took that piece of stuff and made do. I didn't realize it was a bra.
After that, I thought that the thing was made of silk, so I was reluctant to throw it away, and planned to return it to my sister when I went home. Our family is not a wealthy family, and it is not easy for my sister to have a silk kerchief. That's what happened.
What are you thinking about?"
"Really your sister, your biological sister?" Luo Yaoniang's voice was still choked with sobs.
Zhang Ning said: "Why should I make up lies to deceive you?"
Luo Yaoniang said angrily: "The people in your family are really... how can there be such a sister!"
Zhang Ning said: "Okay, I'll discipline her well when we get home. This is our family's business, it's nothing for you to worry about."
"It would have been better if I had said no earlier!" Luo Yaoniang shouted loudly, tilted her head slightly and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
