The fighting in the forest had ended, and a cold light blue was cast between the gaps of the leaves. The breeze slowly blew away the bloody smell that pervaded the surroundings. Shao Shang took a deep breath to wake up the cold and pungent smell. He turned his head. Only then did she see Ling Budo's black armor, which was dark red and sinking like rust blood.
Ling Budo didn't care about the blood stains on his body, he skillfully ordered all the aftermath, resettled the dead and wounded, and gathered the vehicles, horses and weapons... Of course, the most important thing was to decide where to go next. Since Comrade Lao Wan was in a coma, Cheng Song and others took Ling Buxuan as their leader, and went back to the inn for a temporary rest at his order.
While everyone was rectifying, Ling Budo took the time to write a letter on the back of the guard, and after sealing the capsule with fire lacquer, Liang Qiu quickly sent it out.
"What did you write?" Shaoshang asked.
Ling Budo said: "Remind Your Majesty to send someone to protect Huang Wen, and don't let him have an accident."
"Ah." Shao Shang didn't sleep all night, feeling that his mind was dull.
Ling Budo didn't want to be too far away from Shaoshang, and always took her hand and walked between the convoys. When he was about to get on the horse, Ling Budo looked at the girl's blue eyes, and his heart softened: "You haven't slept all night, and you were frightened again. Go to the car to rest." His tone was soft, but firm, and he said it. He beckoned his subordinates to drive the carriage over.
Cheng Shao Gong slandered on the side, first, everyone didn't sleep all night, second, the younger sister was never frightened.
"...Zifu, what do you think?" Ling Budo looked at Cheng Song.
Cheng Song naturally disapproved, and took Wan Qiqi into the carriage, so his good third brother Cheng Shao Gong couldn't stay in the carriage, so he had to get on the horse with his ashen face, and the delicate flowers turned into plastic. flower.
For fear of a rebirth accident, everyone hurried for half a day after a full meal. When they finally left the mountain pass in the evening, Shao Shang rubbed his eyes and found that another group of thirty or forty people had set up camp at the exit of the pass. Cook rice in a pot.
Most of the people in this group were wounded, and low-pitched mourning and cursing could be heard incessantly, but they didn't seem to be seriously injured.
Seeing Ling Budo and others, they all cheered, and a young man dressed as a Confucian came running at the head. Shao Shang felt that this face was very familiar, and Wan Qiqi, who was beside him, called out first, "Ban Xiaohou. Why are you here!"
Ban Xiaohou seemed to have a weak temperament, seeing Ling Budo as if he had the backbone, he cried and wiped away his tears: "Lord Ling... Brother Zicheng, why did you guys come back? What can I do here? It scared me to death! My uncle... uncle, he hasn't woken up yet! How can this be..."
Ling Budo answered patiently one by one: "At the beginning, those people both If I didn't take your life, I wouldn't come to you again. I made my uncle take the medicine, and he was going to fall asleep for a day and a night. In my opinion, after a while, my uncle will be able to wake up."
Ban Xiaohou wiped his tears . "Oh, that's good, that's good..."
At this time, a person who looked like a manager beside him reminded in a low voice: "Sir, Master Ling and everyone seem to be very tired, we have prepared the tents and dishes, Why don't you son..."
Ban Xiaohou, like waking up from a dream, kept asking everyone to enter the tent and have a meal.
Walking into the wide round tent, Liang Qiuqi was going to dismount Ling Buxuan's armor, but Ling Buxuan turned slightly to avoid him and looked at Shao Shang, Liang Qiuqi immediately understood what he meant, and stood by quietly. Shao Shang was about to pull Wan Eqi to find a place to change his clothes, and when he met Ling Budo's gaze, he immediately stepped forward to loosen his armor for him. The heavy iron belt, the shoulder pads cast like a tiger's scream, the breastplate inlaid with delicate obsidian, the belly leather, the arm pads, the knee pads... Liang Qiuqi stood aside and took them one by one.
Watching this scene, Wan Qiqi was inexplicably unhappy in her heart. She had a feeling of being bullied by a school bully. Cheng Song's thick brows twisted into a knot, Cheng Shaoshang yawned and beat his poor waist. Back, as if not seen at all.
When he loosened Ling Budo's wrist guard, Shao Shang found that his left wrist was tied with a few thin hard wires around the cuff. She couldn't tell the material when she touched it, thinking that it might be a hidden weapon. When she was about to touch the thread again, Ling Budo suddenly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and said softly to the girl, "I just asked someone to bring a carload of mountain springs, and now I think it's already boiled and warm, You go wash up, don't worry, take your time."
Cheng Shao's ox in the palace, he also wanted to take a shower, but he was also tired and tired. Cheng Song didn't have time to worry about it, but pushed Wan Eqi to Shaoshang's side and asked her to take a bath with her.
After soaking in the hot bath, the two girls were refreshed, as if they were reincarnated, and Wan Eqi even felt that she had misunderstood the school bully. When the two women stepped into the big round tent again, Ling Budo and the Cheng brothers had also changed their robes, cleaned their hands and face, and Ban Xiaohou Zhengyinqian greeted everyone to take their seats.
Cheng Song raised his glass: "Lord Ling, we thank you in advance for saving your life." After speaking, he doubled the wine and drank it all.
Cheng Shaogong and Wan Eqi did the same. When it was Shaoshang's turn to finish it in one gulp, Ling Budo took away the wine in her hand, and only had one sip before returning it to her. Shao Shang faced everyone's different eyes, laughed twice, raised his neck and drank the drink, and then said "Thank you, Master Ling".
Everyone sighed secretly in their hearts to show contempt. Everyone was eating and talking, Ling Budo
smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you have to thank Ban Xiaohou. If it wasn't for them being attacked, I wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly."
In the case, his eyes were red, and he almost cried again.
The emperor often sighed that Ling Budo was pitiful. He was the only remaining bloodline of the Huo family. In fact, there was this little Marquis of Banjiaban who could compete with Ling Budo in this matter. To say that Mr. Ban Laohou is also an old and strong hero. His family was destroyed by the previous emperor, and his children died, but he left five grandchildren who were brave and brave and fearless.
But when one walks on the back, it is really unstoppable. After a few years of war, Ban's five tigers and four were killed and one disabled. What cold arrows, wind chills, wounds and carbuncles... In short, the unfortunate things that ordinary people do not encounter can be encountered by his family. . The most terrible thing is that except for Ban Xiaohou's father, the rest of the grandsons who died early did not leave any heirs, and the one who survived seemed to be injured at the vital point, so far he has no wife and no children.
Therefore, everyone in the Ban family regarded Ban Xiaohou, the only one left, as a treasure. It is said that Ban Jia never even went out of the house before he was ten years old. Now he is fifteen years old, and he doesn't even know the roads in the capital.
Cui You is a kind person. He sympathizes with the old and young of the Ban family. He always keeps Ban Jia by his side. Although he can't let him go into battle to meet the enemy, he can stay in the big tent to do some paperwork and count his injuries. Remnant, arrange logistics, allocate food and grass... Ban Xiaohou actually did it very neatly.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ban had a nightmare a few days ago. Suspecting that something had happened to his great-grandson, he sent Uncle Ban to visit Ban Jia. At first sight, nothing changed. It is not easy to keep idle people in the military camp, so Ban Jia personally sent his uncle back the day before yesterday. On the way to see each other, they encountered a strange group of robbers.
They didn't say a word at first, and they killed them when they came up, but the Ban family's guards weren't just decorations, they were all battle-hardened veterans, and they fought no less. While the fight was in full swing, Uncle Ban saw that his nephew was scared out of his body, and when he was angry, he got out of the car with a cane and killed the enemy. Who knew that the two leading robbers saw Uncle Ban, and the wind was swept up in a moment. They retreated cleanly, leaving behind a mess of corpses and wounded people, plus Uncle Ban who was in a coma, and Ban Xiaohou, who was sitting on the ground sobbing.
After crying for a while, Ban Xiaohou hurriedly called someone to find the nearest army, and the guards of Ban's house rushed away. Just after the casualties were settled, Ling Budo escorted Ban Shi and his party slowly back when they bumped into his own guard who came to ask for help.
——This is also the luck of Shaoshang and others. If he rushes from the forest to Ling Wuxuan's station, it will take at least a day, and when he comes back, he doesn't know how long it will take.
"The Ban family has also encountered robbers?" Wan Eqi looked puzzled, "How many robbers are there?" The
three brothers and sisters of the Cheng family did not speak, and looked at each other with a solemn expression.
Ling Budo said lightly, "The road of Ban Xiaohou's journey is exactly the official road you were going to take." The
Cheng brothers and sisters all sighed softly, if they were clear.
The room was quiet, and after a while, Shao Shang asked softly, "...Don't you have to serve in the Cui Hou army?"
Ling Budo smiled and said, "The main rebel force has been defeated a few days ago, and Peng Ni's vassals have come to surrender one after another. , Uncle Cui now sees a few people crying and begging for guilt every day. Except for a Shouchun city wall, Peng Ni has nothing left."
"Then why didn't Uncle Cui break through Shouchun quickly, and the teacher returned to the court?" Shao Shang asked.
Cheng Shao Gong shook his head and said, "I heard from my father that the Shouchun city wall is strong, and a strong attack would be inappropriate."
Cheng Song agreed: "Now Peng Ni is swaying in the wind and rain, like a ripe fruit on the branch, which is about to fall to the ground, why should I do it? Short of attacking the enemy's strength, it will cause many casualties in vain."
Ban Xiaohou said, "The two brothers Cheng have a good opinion, and Cui Hou also said the same, and now he is planning to 'subdue the enemy without fighting'. It's just that it's a little bit laborious to hold down a few brothers who are eager to fight."
Wan Qiqi interjected: "Don't be honest if you haven't made a contribution yet."
"Qiqi, don't guess what others mean. "Cheng Song stopped his fiancée in a low voice, in fact he thought so too, but this is not at home.
Shaoshang changed the subject: "What is 'defeat without fighting'. Do you want to ask the people in Shouchun City to take Peng Ni's head and present it to you? I heard that there were several rebel leaders in the previous dynasty, but in the end it wasn't. Die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his own family."
Ling Budo smiled at her, tacitly.
Filled with food and wine, Ling Budo suggested that everyone visit Uncle Ban who was in a coma. He said, "You'll know when you've seen it." In the
tent next door, Uncle Ban was still in a coma on the soft collapse, and his body was covered with blood-stained bandages. With a soft sigh - Uncle Ban's stature is very similar to Wan Songbai, both are of medium height and have a round general belly, but Uncle Ban has a white face and no beard, which is completely different from Wan Songbai's face.
On the starry night, everyone paced back to the big round tent and sat down. Cheng Shao Gong took the lead: "This matter is for Uncle Wan."
Cheng Song nodded: "I asked Ah Fu yesterday, and he said that Uncle encountered two assassination raids last month, both of them claiming to be the former Chao Yu Nie wanted to take revenge for Emperor Rui, and he came here to assassinate His Majesty's territorial officials. Because this kind of thing has happened elsewhere before, so my uncle didn't take it to heart. Now it seems..."
"It seems that it is aimed at Father is here!" Wan Eqi added.
Shao Shang suddenly let out a sigh, everyone went to see her, she went to see Ling Budo, and woke up like a dream: "So you wrote a letter this morning to ask His Majesty to protect Huang Yushi?"
Ling Budo smiled, and everyone was puzzled . He patiently said: "This morning, I ordered someone to check the corpses of the thieves, and found that they were not ordinary robbers, but a collection of well-trained remnants."
Seeing that the Cheng family brothers and sisters and Wan Eqi still did not understand, Ban Xiaohou Qiqi said: "I heard my great-grandfather say that these years have been plagued by military disasters, and where have the defeated soldiers who have been scattered and escaped have gone, not everyone is willing to return to the fields. Zhao'an. Therefore, many of them who are strong in martial arts and unwilling to be ordinary have wandered into the world and become hired 'rangers'."
"Can this also be called 'rangers'?" Still a little hopeful.
"It's also a ranger." Ling Budo said, "Han Feiziyun, Confucianism uses literature to violate the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the prohibition. Although this is biased, it is not without merit. In a bright world, the common people live and work in peace, what should a ranger do? The young children are full of enthusiasm, roaming the rivers and lakes, gaining knowledge, and making friends. This kind of 'ranger' is not harmful. However, some 'rangers' seek wealth, silk and wealth, and naturally do some illegal things in secret."
"That is, someone paid to hire these people to kill my father?" Wan Eqi finally understood.
"What's the matter with Yushi Huang?" Cheng Shaogong asked.
"You're stupid! Don't you understand?" Shao Shang said bitterly, "Someone paid for my uncle's life. In the first two times, because my uncle had a lot of people in Xu County, the success was close to success. So that person secretly let Huang The imperial censor has read Uncle's book, so can't Uncle go back to the capital for trial? How many people can Uncle take on the road, wouldn't it be easier to start!"
"Isn't it because Huang Wen secretly murdered my Uncle?!" Wan Eqi was furious Said, "I won't let this traitor go!"
"Whether Huang Yushi was deceived by someone to join his uncle, or he secretly plotted to frame his uncle, in short, he can't be allowed to die! Only alive can he be slowly interrogated! "The young merchant appeases his best friend.
The Cheng brothers and Ban Jia suddenly realized, and they secretly admired Ling Budo for thinking so fast. They had just rescued Wan Songbai and his party this morning, and immediately thought of leaving Huang Wen for questioning.
"Then why don't you start with those robbers, and you can ask who is behind the scenes." Cheng Shaogong asked again.
Shao Shang frowned and said, "This kind of business is going to take a long time. Naturally, you can't make a living like a vegetable vendor. Except for the thief in the lead, I am afraid that the rest of you don't know the details." She didn't read so many martial arts books for nothing.
"Then arrest the leading thief!" Wan Eqi was furious.
The corners of Ling Budo's mouth curved slightly, and he said sarcastically, "Where do you go to catch them? They gather for profit, disperse because of potential, sneak into the mountains, and hide in the market... If you really want to catch them, you can't do it in a day, or ask Huang The censor
is quicker." Having said that, everyone said yes.
Before leaving the tent, Shao Shang suddenly said: "It's extraordinary to be able to hire such a powerful thief. The person behind the scenes is also extraordinary. But why do you have to kill Uncle Wan?"
Ling Budo took her little hand and smiled. Said: "This is also a way. When the Prefect Wan wakes up, you can ask him who offended him."
Only then did Shao Shang realize that everyone, including Wan Qiqi, was thinking of going back to the capital to extract Huang's confession. Wen - these guys without the spirit of criminal investigation! She complained in her heart, and threw Ling Budo's hand heavily, who knew that it seemed to involve his injury, Ling Budo let out a small hiss, stroked her shoulder with her right hand, frowning in pain.
Shaoshang nervously asked, "Are you injured?"
Ling Budo lowered his thick eyelashes and gave a low hum.
"You haven't stopped all day and night, the wound must be cracked again, let's go, let's go to your tent, and I'll repackage it for you." Shaoshang felt distressed.
Ling Budo smiled brightly, took the girl's hand and left.
After a few steps, Shaoshang stopped and turned around and said, "Third brother, why are you following me?"
Cheng Shaogong, who was silently following behind the two, raised his head and sighed: "Actually, I am also very concerned about Lord Ling's injury, so I wanted to go and see it together."
"Third brother, you are confused!" Shao Shang was incredulous. , "I'm still drunk, hurry back to the account and go to bed!"
Ling Budo looked at Cheng Shaogong, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his breath was indifferent.
Cheng Shao Gong cried ten thousand times in his heart and he didn't want to.
——If Cheng Song's job on this trip was to escort Wan Eqi to find his father, then his mother drove him out of the capital just to look at his younger sister. Now the night is like water, the mountains are quiet, and the lonely man and the widow live together in one tent... If he If you don't do anything, Mrs. Xiao must have peeled off his skin after returning!
Shaoshang turned his head, looked at Cheng Shaogong's face again, and understood a little, and said displeasedly: "Third brother, you should trust Master Ling's conduct! Over the years, have you ever heard him talk about men and women! "
Cheng Shaogong sighed again: "You think I don't trust you."
"You...!" Shao Shang was furious - facing such a beautiful, strong, wide-backed and long-legged fiancé, she was so protective of her body. Someone slandered her!
Ling Budo couldn't help laughing, secretly laughing that this is really a pair of living treasures. "Raise the curtain." He turned his head and instructed Liang Qiuqi, then took the little fiancee who was still stomping her feet angrily back to the account.
Cheng Shao Gong also breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped in a white fox fur and sat at the door of Cheng Song's tent, looking over here.
Ling Budo sat on his horse, and Shaoshang stood behind him, slowly loosening his shirt, and sure enough, he saw a bloody bandage on his shoulders. The dark red coagulated shattered wounds caused shocking damage on the young man's perfect white body.
She said distressedly: "Didn't you say that this war is not a big deal, why did you fight so hard!"
Ling Budo reassured: "When the swordsman thing comes together, there is no big or small matter. "
Shao Shang was speechless, so he could only ask Liang Qiuqi to bring hot water and wound medicine, slowly loosen the condensation on his clothes, and then re-bandage after applying medicine; every time she touched the wound, her heart skipped a beat , like tweezers to the heart of the flesh.
Ling Budo liked to see her tender and pitiful look the most, and it was the same after being beaten by the emperor. Thinking about it, it's not normal for me to be like this.
"I've been really unhappy these few days, so I left Uncle Cui's side and led the troops swaying outside." Ling Budo suddenly said, "Now that I see you, I feel better."
Shaoshang asked why this was .
"Didn't I say before that the surviving old family members of the Huo family have their own eyes? I sent two groups of people to look for them, and one group of people has come back. It turned out to be a scam. That person was just pretending to be loyal to the Huo family. The countryside cheats
to eat and drink." Shaoshang felt sad in his heart: "What about the other group."
"No news."
Ling Budo pressed the small hand on his shoulder and said in a loss: "You said, I fought with my uncle back then. Their subordinates are really all dead. I have been looking for them for so many years, and I only had some eyebrows last year, and now half of my hope is gone."
Shao Shang said in a low voice: "Even if the body is destroyed, it should be It's a heroic spirit without regrets, and its arrogance lasts forever."
Ling Budo murmured, "I really don't want to be the only survivor of the Huo family in this world."
Shaoshang said, "What's so difficult about this, waiting for you to give birth to many children. , the Huo family is not the only one left in the world."
Ling Buzhu laughed, turned to look at the girl, and sighed, "However, having children is not easy, I'm afraid..."
"Who gave birth to you? I was born! I am still hesitant about what to do with you." Shao Shang patted his chest, not shy at all, "Just a trivial matter, wrap it up on me!"
Ling Budo's eyes widened in delight for a while, and then he replied. He sighed again: "I wish I could do everything for you, if only I could do it for you."
This said, Shao Shang was full of sweetness, bandaged the wound, and volunteered to clean up the armor for Ling Budo. You must know that armor, weapons and horses are the three most important things for a soldier. She has been with Ling Budo for a long time, and knows that he has always done his own work in maintaining armor, weapons and horses. Now that he is injured, how can she be willing to let him do it.
Let Ling Budo sit aside, she hugged the heavy black iron armor, carefully washed the blood on it with warm water one by one, wiped and rubbed with a dry cloth repeatedly, and then smeared it with a thin layer of oil...
Opposite. At the entrance of the tent, Cheng Song and Wan Qiqi stood up behind Cheng Shao Gong at an unknown time.
"Do you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart?" Wan Eqi said.
Cheng Song nodded: "Look at the little sister, she behaves like a kitten in front of Ling Budo. At the time, my mother was worried that the little sister would bully my husband, and our father and brother will come to apologize in the future, but now look at this... What's the matter!"
"Oh, for the first time, I felt that your mother's words made sense. It's better to find an honest and gentle husband, only the young merchants bully others, and no one can bully her, that's great! Now Look at me and her, they are firmly held in the palm of the hand by the surnamed Ling, and they will pay for the sale!"
"At home, Yao Yao has never washed a handkerchief by herself, but now she has to wash Ling Buxuan's armor!"
"...However, it can't be said that the surname Ling is not good at all. The horses he sent back are really rare!"
"Oh, yes. A mother fell ill when she gave birth to Xiaozhu, but he was careful and deliberately I invited the doctor in the palace to come to my house to treat my grandmother. There is also a wound on my grandfather's back, and the tiger bone paste given by the royal family has not been broken these days.
" Others refuted."
"It's not very considerate, and it's so late that you don't let Curly go to rest, how tired, you have to hurry tomorrow morning!"
"I said you two are almost there!"
Cheng Shaogong couldn't bear it any longer, and turned around and complained, "Yiyi slept in the carriage for a day today, one day! Sister Qiqi got off the carriage and rode at noon, but she slept for a full day! Why is she tired, you let her sleep now? She can't sleep either! And she will probably be able to sleep on the carriage tomorrow! It's Ling Budo who is tired, it's those of us who are on horses!"
Cheng Song smacked his mouth, Wan Eqi twisted her fingers, the atmosphere was a little bit Awkward.
"...Third brother, why are you so mean."
"Can't you be more generous? No wonder there are no little girls who like you!"
"I think you are a bachelor!" "That's right
!"
They went back to their tents to rest. Cheng Shaogong was cold and sleepy, and was attacked personally, but seeing that the man and woman on the opposite side hadn't planned to separate, he finally couldn't help but want to hear what the two of them were. What to say - go around the two tents from the back, take the side road and approach slowly, Cheng Shao Gong stood beside him, pricked up his ears to listen.
"...Why don't you talk and keep looking at me, am I getting too much oil?" Shaoshang said.
"Not much, you can do it as soon as you learn it."
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"...I'm thinking of you." The
girl laughed dryly, "But I'm right by your side."
"I still miss you."
Before Cheng Shao Gong arrived at Mu Shao Ai, he couldn't listen anymore.
He walked away a few steps, took out three hexagram coins and a small old tortoise shell from his sleeve, slid the money into the shell, prayed three times to the sky, and planned to predict a hexagram for a successful marriage. Shaking the tortoise shell and dumping it down, the bright golden hexagram money fell to the ground along the arc, Cheng Shaogong happily squatted down to look at it, and then... was dumbfounded.
The three hexagram coins are actually inserted into the soil, forming a vertical shape.
What does it mean? Cheng Shaogong suddenly felt that he was ignorant, and he didn't know how to do this.
