Bunny eye blur

Xue Min heard her sneer, and quickly turned around and said, "Bring some dry food to the backyard to cook, you go back to your room and rest first." Xue Ling stepped on the broken steamed buns, and said casually, "No need", these That's all the mess.

The weather at the end of May was not too cold, but the evening wind from the northwest was quite strong, bringing with it the smell of ashes from Ningcheng, and when the windows were opened, the whole house was rattling.

She washed her face with cold water and lay on the bed to relive last night's remnant dream.For so many years, I have never dreamed of my father.

World affairs, really, strange.

In the morning of the next day, according to the innkeeper's instructions, the curfew was lifted at noon, and everyone got up late.When Xue Ling opened his eyes, he finally saw pedestrians passing by on the street, but they were all women and old women, and there was no young man in sight.

This place is too close to Ningcheng.

Huo Zhi handed over two sets of new clothes, matching the style of ordinary men on the battlefield, with soft armor sleeves.Seeing that the city was empty, Xue Ling took the clothes and said, "Where did you find them in this poor place?"

Huo Zhi nodded with a smile and said "I found it from my old friend", and waited outside the door. Xue Ling just went to the square of linen, carefully put it away, and changed into clothes, which fit very well.It may not be possible to go to find it in a while, since it was clearly prepared for her early.

That's okay, it's okay, the bun is also changed into a man's style, and when she goes out again, Huo Zhi praised: "The girl is really impeccable when she looks like a man, not to mention that Shen Yuanzhou can't recognize it, but I have been with the girl for a long time and met on the street. , I really dare not admit it."

He originally wanted to say something to compliment the general, but considering that Xue Ling really lost his father in the past two days, it may be self-defeating to say it.

Xue Ling coughed twice, changed his old masculine voice, and said, "If he hasn't met me, I'm not afraid. But Shen Yuanzhou is careful, I met him at Li Jingsi's place, even though he was a girl from Heyuan family, it’s hard to guarantee that he knows people and never forgets them.”

Huo Zhi could hear it clearly, his overjoy did not appear on the surface, he just smiled and said: "Young master is not unreasonable to be worried, but there is a difference between a man and a woman after meeting once, I don't believe that Shen Yuanzhou has eyes and can see things. When the evening passes, you can talk about it again If someone pretends to be one or two for the young master, there will be no danger."

Xue Ling's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Why do you only go there at night, aren't you in a hurry?"

"The barbarians first arrived in Ningcheng, and the attack is fierce. Shen Yuanzhou is the city's chief general, and he must be busy with common affairs. If we go early, we will definitely not see anyone. The little devil is difficult to deal with, and he has collected things. Maybe he won't even pass a word, no It's a day and a half away."

Xue Ling nodded and asked again, "Who is following us?"

"I was about to tell the girl that this man's surname is Chen Mingze, and he is a squire from this place. When he heard that Ningcheng was fighting, General Shen defended against the enemy. Yuan spent all his family's wealth and paid little respect."

Sure enough, the surname was Chen. Xue Ling sighed, but still nodded. Huo Zhi said that Chen Ze still had some details to discuss, and he would not be at the inn during the day today, and would come back in the afternoon.

Xue Ling couldn't ask for it, and waved his hand to send him away, but Huo Zhi said: "The girl has to think of a name before going, Lu Luo is not very easy to use."

She said "hmm" and said: "Then the name is An, anyway, it won't last long. You can tell him my name is An, you don't have to say the name."

Huo Zhi didn't want to think about Lu Wen'an all the time, and said: "If you have the same surname as Pingcheng, go to Shen Yuanzhou, in case he makes an association."

Xue Ling said impatiently, "Then you can make up one."

Huo Zhi hurriedly said: "How about the character Zhao, it's more common, it's the first name of a hundred families, so you can't find any faults."

Xue Ling nodded, and Fang retreated.Xue Ling found a wide chair, sat down at the table in the room, and leaned back on the chair for a long time, not wanting to straighten up.

Xue Min came in again and saw her eyes were slightly closed, her brows were shaved, her arms were resting on the armrest of the chair, her fingers were pale and drooping, and the scars on the back of her hands were still red, like an eagle with broken wings, half rotten, but exceptionally clear Absolutely alone.

He approached lightly and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, look elsewhere to see if there is anything to eat. I think this place is quite prosperous, and I heard someone hawking."

Xue Ling opened his eyes, slowly raised his neck, and said with a smile, "Did I not make it clear that night?"

Xue Min was puzzled, she raised her feet, paced back and forth with her left hand pinched, and said in pain, "Did I not make it clear that night, even if I didn't come, Huo Yunwan would come.

Look, I said, last year why did she force the Su Mansion to send so many things over.She has been planning for a long time, and has long wanted to use war to take the military power in the Northwest into her own hands.

What is the general of the emperor, what is the loyalty and righteousness, once there is a fight, the only thing that can really gather troops is money and food.She had planned this for a long time, and I was just a good chess player.If I don't leave, she's just going to change a few steps. Sooner or later, she will want the general.

If I come, at least it can be faster, I’m just taking advantage of the situation, if I don’t come, the chaos will only last longer, if I don’t do it, things will only get worse, it’s obviously not me, not me.

It's clearly not me, it's clearly not me. "She raised her hand and asked: "Why didn't he leave? I made it very clear. I made it very clear that night. "

Xue Min was silent for a moment, then said softly, "We are going to Shen Yuanzhou tonight, and if we think about these things again, it will be easy for him to see."

This reason is more useful than anything else. If there is no way to turn back, she can only say that the future is very good. She had to be persuaded, nodded her head and said "yes" several times, she pointed to Xue Min and said: "What you said is , What you said is that I'm going to kill Shen Yuanzhou at night."

"When I kill Wei Lang, it will be over." She lowered her hand and left the room with her head tilted.

Huo Zhi came back in the evening, but he came with a stranger, dressed in red and green, with round arms and fat waist, full of fleshy face, to salute Xue Ling, who said it was Chen Ze.

Xue Ling nodded in response, but saw that he and Huo Zhi were chatting and laughing happily, and looked quite familiar, and said happily, "Which young master is better-looking than the youngest son in my village, but he's a little thinner, why is he so thin, white... It's too white."

He looked at Xue Ling again, but he didn't say that sentence with a dead face.Fortunately, although Xue Ling's face was not looking good, his speech was still full of spirit, otherwise it seemed that his life would not be long.

Huo Zhi said with a smile, "The father-in-law from the middle of Beijing wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and he dare not let his family know." While talking, he handed Xue Ling a package of snacks, probably because he saw that she hadn't eaten well these days, so he deliberately found a place to eat. made it.Xue Ling took over and took it apart, and stuffed a piece into his mouth.

Chen Ze clasped his hands and made a big gift, and continued to say: "Such a heroic young man" and boasted a few more sentences, without asking his name at all, omitting the made up "Zhao".

Xue Ling responded with a smile, looked in Ning Cheng's direction and said: "There is a loss in the world, what can I say?" quite a bit of pride.

The imperial city is so rich and noble, either this adult or that family's lord, the younger ones become young masters and young ladies, the northwest is far away, and there are few official houses, if you meet someone who is more arrogant, you will call him young master and lady.

The two names are different, and she has assumed several false surnames. In recent days, because of Lu Wen'an's death, she has thought of Xue Li a lot, and now she remembers the Jiangfu Poetry Club. slave".

Afterwards, Beijing and China changed, and I never heard of any romantic affairs, so I will remember, who is the slave of the three surnames?
Chen Ze didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking, but he agreed with her words very much. He secretly thought that the white-skinned and thin-faced gentleman was pretty good. He took two steps forward and looked at the mountains outside the window, and shouted ambitiously: "Young master, what you said is really true." See, my son is very good, I will drive the barbarians for three thousand miles, and don't ask them to return to heaven."

She lowered her head, it was almost curfew time again, only to see that the street was empty like a ghost town.

Xue Ling turned around and asked Huo Zhi: "When are we going to leave? Isn't it impossible to go out after the curfew?"

Huo Zhi smiled and said: "We are going to Ningcheng, there is no reason why we can't get out, but it's better to leave earlier, if everything is in order, young master, we can start our journey."

Xue Ling turned around and picked up his bags, and went downstairs together with Xue Min. The shopkeeper was sealing the door, seeing that Xue Ling and the others were about to leave, he said, "Where are you fleeing to? Can you also give me a ride? I see. You have a lot of people, and you look like you are practicing martial arts. You are more reliable than others. I can give you money. Are you going to the capital?"

Chen Ze hurriedly answered, and said: "Why do you run away, you are also very strong, why not follow us to Ningcheng, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, honor your ancestors."

The shopkeeper immediately knelt down, waved his hands desperately, and said, "Master, Lord, I have enough corvees in my family. I'm the one who stayed, I'm the one who stayed."

As he spoke, he rushed to the counter and took the brochure to show to Xue Ling and others. He kept talking, and only shouted: "I'm the one who stayed, and I'm the only one left."

Xue Ling didn't see the booklet, thinking that someone who smoked it took it, so he made a note of it.This thing has been in war for a long time, and it makes no difference whether it is approved or not.

Fortunately, they didn't come here to smoke. There are always two days to hide in this store. Everyone went out one after another. Chen Zefu scolded a few weak bones, and rushed to Xue Ling, "He must die on the wall of Ningcheng, seal his wife and son, remember great merit".

Xue Ling stepped on the horse, raised the whip with a smile, and thought to himself: Shen Yuanzhou is rebellious, where is the emperor who will give you a wife and son.No way, Shen Yuanzhou has an emperor.

After crossing the street is the gate of the city, as Huo Zhi said, seeing that Xue Ling and his party were going to Ningcheng, the guard at the gate not only didn't mention the curfew, but even arrested a few people and pushed them over.

After leaving the city, there was no luggage following him. Xue Ling asked, and Huo knew: "For food and grass matters, someone has to come and guard them. It's inconvenient for us. It's better to go and see General Shen first."

Chen Ze nodded in agreement, Xue Ling said with a smile: "There are so many things, someone has to come to guard."

Chen Zedao: "Not much, not much, but it's been very chaotic recently, refugees are running around, no one is escorting them, I really can't guarantee that they can be transported to Ningcheng." Come, otherwise I will be powerless, watching the things moldy and rotten, and I can't deliver them to the soldiers."

The two of them laughed and talked for a few more words, Xue Ling urged the horse, and only then ran a little distance, Huo Zhi caught up and said: "Slow down, young master, we are not in a hurry."

Xue Ling reined in his horse and turned around, seeing that fat man Chen Ze was panting for life, obviously he was not good at riding horses.In other words, this person may not be the pawn Huo Yunwan placed here in the early years.

True or false, the authorities are delusional, maybe he really thought he was raising food for Shen Yuanzhou.

In desperation, he could only tell his subordinates to slow down, and after running for about an hour, he finally saw the south gate of Ningcheng.

It was dark in the sky, and there was already a curfew here. There was a sentry at every five steps on the city wall.

Seeing Xue Ling and others from a distance, dozens of people drew their bows and pointed at Xue Ling and his party. The leader shouted: "Who is in the city? The curfew has come. No one can come in or out."

Xue Ling raised her head to answer, but Chen Ze volunteered to stop her and said, "I'll come, I'll come. I'll come, I'll come."After that, he raised his hands and shouted: "Master, don't move the knife, we are here to deliver food and grass, you are tired, open the door, open the door quickly."

After shouting, he quickly went to cover his stomach, grinned his teeth and said to Xue Ling: "I've never seen you race like this, I really haven't suffered from this crime."

When the guard upstairs heard it, he called back, "Wait first."Chen Ze hastily raised his head again to answer, and said to Xue Ling, "If you're dead, if you're dead, I'm just that horse, it...it...it can't run so fast even if it's beaten to death."

For the first time in a few days, Xue Ling couldn't hold back his laughter. He was half gossiping and half asking: "There are atoms everywhere here. A three-year-old is about to get on a horse. Why are you so unprogressive?"

Chen Ze dropped his hands in an instant, and said with a puffy stomach: "That's not it, it's not that I don't grow up, my family is in the business of Baimi Zhuangzi's grain store, not raising animals, that's it, let's come to Nachang County, a hundred miles around, who doesn't know?" I have eaten food from my family. A few years ago, the family still traveled to and from Beijing."

"Really, then why haven't you been there for the past two years?"

"嗐".Chen Ze put his hands back on his stomach again, and said angrily: "In the past few years, four years, I don't know why, suddenly the price of food has skyrocketed, and it was involved. The officials came to settle the matter and chopped off a lot of heads. up.

The situation was better last year, and I wanted to get my ancestral property back up again, and hoarded some, but this year I haven't left yet, and the barbarians have come again, you say this, who do you tell this to. "

The door was opened, and the people inside asked: "What kind of food and grass, there is no official document in the city today saying that the food and grass are coming, where did you come from?"

"Me, me, me." Chen Ze and Xue Ling laughed together, ran to the door in two or three steps and shouted inside: "There is no official document, there is no official document, we are ordinary people, and we want to do our bit for General Shen to prepare I bought some food and grass and want to transport it to the city, so please don’t be disgusted, Mr. Jun.”

The people inside searched for a while, but they didn't see any food and grass. When they asked what happened, Chen Ze said: "We have few people, and we can't transport them. They are all stored in the warehouse. I want to ask the military master to escort them in person."

The man was a little bit concerned, seeing that there were about ten people in Xue Ling's party, and he said that they couldn't get through, but there were quite a lot of things.Although the war will not run out of food, but who knows when it will be fought.

After all, this is the south gate, so it is considered safe. Chen Ze agreed immediately, saying that he needs to find someone to pass it on, and it may take a long time.

Chen Ze responded naturally, and the door closed again.Xue Ling got off the horse, and then went to the door and knocked lightly twice. Seeing that Chen Zere was sweating profusely, she smiled and said, "This door is not fastened."

"how do you know."

Xue Ling moved his hand on the door a little, and said: "He opened and closed it quickly just now, but the door bolt weighs a thousand catties, and it would take half an hour for several people to lift the hinge together, so there was no bolt inside, and then someone stuck it with an anvil. It takes a lot of force on the door hinge to open and close so smoothly."

She didn't intend to show off, she only thought that the south gate was not bolted, which meant that the war in Ningcheng was not serious, at least not to the point where Shen Yuanzhou ordered the four gates to be closed tightly.Thinking about it further, it means that the barbarian's offensive is not at all fierce as Huo Zhi said, Tuoba Mian is delaying time, he is waiting for her.

Chen Ze's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, you know a lot."

Huo Zhi also came up to him with a smile and said, "Grandpa Zhao admired the border. He never let go of the book in his early years. He knows everything in the military like the back of his hand. There is nothing wrong with it."

Chen Ze became more envious, and said loudly, "Pursue wealth in peacetime, and seek merit in troubled times. At the end of the day, it's better to learn martial arts and ride horses. Look at those people who are desperately running to the south. Say it, say it."

He pointed to Xue Ling and said, "You are not from Beijing. I heard that there is also a war there. Why do you come here?"

Xue Ling said with a smile: "The country is about to perish, the meat-eaters are plotting, and the whole world is about to perish. I can't refuse the lowliness of a man. Of course I want to come here."

Chen Zefei was a learned man, so he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Xue Ling didn't want to talk to him for a long time, so he pointed to the door and said, "Ningcheng is vast, and the general is in the north. For such a big matter, he must ask the person in charge. Once, I'm afraid it won't be an hour, we'd better find a place to sit and wait."

Chen Ze replied "Hey", and then rolled up his sleeves to wipe his sweat.Xue Ling didn't feel hot, the wind was actually cool at night, probably the fat man was sweating a lot.

She and Xue Min looked for a clean place to the side, drank a few sips of water, Chen Ze came over again, and called Xue Min to make way, saying that they hit it off with Xue Ling and wanted to talk more.

She smiled, and saw Huo Zhi looking at her from the corner of her eye, and casually agreed with Chen Ze, talking on paper and nothing else.

Hearing the sound of the door again, Chen Ze jumped up, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and said, "It's really an hour, you really know a lot, if you don't tell me, I'll think you're the one here."

Xue Ling smiled without answering, stood up and walked away with his arms stretched. Seeing the horrific wound on Xue Ling's hand, he was shocked and said, "What's the matter?" After saying that, he took Xue Ling's hand to see.

Xue Min blocked the person with one hand, and he didn't have a good face. Chen Ze was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with him, I think it's been penetrated, and it's not healed yet. Why don't you wrap it up? Oh my god, it's a big deal. How does it hurt?"

Xue Ling shook it twice and said: "Careless on the road, I fell off the horse and hit the sword."

Chen Zezi clenched his hands, gasped for breath and wanted to shout, Xue Ling pointed to the door: "We can go in now." It is impossible for Shen Yuanzhou not to allow the food and grass to enter the city.

He glanced at it, patted his head and said, "Oh, oh, ok, let's go in and talk." Further to the door, a man in charge came and said that he was allowed to enter the city.Chen Ze turned his head to greet everyone, and especially called Xue Ling: "Come in, come in, let's go in."

Xue Ling let out a long breath, and led the horse in, but the door was still not open, so a man with the body of a horse went in, and he saw two pawns squatting on the door hinge, holding iron rods in their hands, fiddling with each other.

After they all got inside, the leader declared his name Tang Jian, but stepped back a few steps, put his hand on the handle of the knife, looked at Xue Ling and said, "Are you here to pledge food and grass?"

The original person who sent the message went to say that someone wanted to send food and grass. This is not a strange thing. After obtaining Shen Yuanzhou's permission, he sent Tang Jian to pick up the person.There is a saying that etiquette is less important than affection, no matter how much it is, it is not easy when you come.

Tang Jian didn't feel strange either, he just went about his usual business, Xue Ling and his party, except for Huo Zhi, Chen Ze, Xue Ming and Zhou Sui, the rest were shadow guards, with cold faces and fearsome bodies, At first glance, it doesn't look like any villager who came to deliver food nearby.He didn't dare to take it lightly, and didn't immediately lead Xue Ling and others to go.

Chen Zefei rushed forward and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I am, I am, I want to come, I know that the Hu people have come to Ningcheng, and they spent all their money to buy rice, wheat, millet, and thousands of stones, and put them in Chang County Then, a few servants at home are guarding it, waiting for you to transport it."

Xue Ling secretly thought that the amount of a thousand stones was quite a lot, and Huo Zhi was willing to spend the capital.But thinking about moving to the city and using it on myself in the future, it is not a loss.

Seeing Renmao rushing up rashly, Tang Jian half-drawn his knife. Hearing this, he lowered his guard a bit, and turned to Xue Ling and the others, "What about you? Are you with him?"

Chen Zefu went back to Xue Ling's side, hooked her shoulder with one hand, and said: "Yes, yes, we are together, this young master Zhao is here to join General Shen, he wants to ask for credit, the military master will take us to see the general. "

Xue Ling pushed his hand away, took two steps forward and nodded slightly: "I have seen my lord, my surname is Zhao, a man from Shouling, my ancestors are from the army family, and I heard that there are hustle and bustles at the border. I want to worship under General Shen and be a First officer, but ask for a shroud in horse leather."

Tang Jian continued to explore, and asked, "Xingwu. Since you are from Shouling, why didn't you follow the emperor to quell the chaos and come here?"

Xue Ling said: "It's nothing to do with us when the people at the top are fighting. The husband should do the world's work." She paused, Lang Lang looked at Tang Jian, and said with a smile:
"From my point of view, the world is here."
