Shu Chen

Chapter 21
At Mao Shi, the capital was in Chengdu.

The north gate opened, and chariots, horses, and soldiers streamed out.

A squire of the Zheng family held the reins of the horse and led the Yunnan horse to clear the way. Zheng Pu and the other squires guarded the sides of the deer cart and squeezed out of the city gate from the bustling crowd.

On the cramped deer car, the sleepy-eyed little Zheng Yan stuck her head out of the car wall and looked back frequently.

The reluctance in his eyes was faintly visible.

After she got out of the crowd, the majestic city wall in her eyes gradually drifted away as the horse's hoofs slowly drifted away. She couldn't hold back in the end, she reached out and grabbed Brother Zhong's clothes, with a voice like a gnat, "Brother Zhong, I will return to you in the future. Can you come to Chengdu? Yan'er suddenly felt that this place is also very interesting!"

Ugh.
This little girl!

After making trouble for several days, he said that he missed his grandmother, and couldn't wait to go back to Shifang Mulberry Garden.

Leaving, but there is reluctance.

The corner of Zheng Pu's mouth was a little helpless, and he turned his head to look at the young girl who was aggrieved and pouted, and her eyes were filled with a trace of doting.

As usual, he put his hand on her little head and rubbed it, and said softly, "Yes. If Xiaoyaner likes Chengdu, then Brother Zhong will find an opportunity to build a yard in the city and let Xiaoyan Come when you want, okay?"

"Okay!"

As expected, Xiao Zhengyan's eyes were immediately sparkling, filled with joy, and her voice was quick and happy, "Brother Zhong, you must not lie! Hee hee! Yan'er knows, Brother Zhong is the best!"

"Hehe~~~~"

The two servants of the Zheng family who were guarding the side of the car could not help laughing when they heard it so clearly.

The innocent and naughty little Zheng Yan has always been the source of happiness in Shifang Mulberry Garden, and the servants of the Zheng family are also fond of her.

"You!"

Zheng Pu also couldn't help laughing, and tapped her little head with his fingers.

He held her shoulders again and asked her to squeeze into the car to avoid being covered by the dust rolled up by the carriage.

And Xiao Zheng Yan, who was in a better mood, spoke more, chattering, and kept looking for topics to ask Zheng Pu.

"Brother Zhong, when you build a yard, you should build a bigger one. Yan'er wants to live with her mother!"

"it is good."

"Brother Zhong, will the eldest brother come to stay? Yan'er hasn't seen the eldest brother for a long time!"

"Eldest brother, he can't come. Xiao Yan'er, the eldest brother is an official of the imperial court, and he has to serve in the local area, so he cannot leave at will. However, the eldest brother has no time to spare. Brother Zhong can take Xiao Yan'er to the eldest brother's place to have a look. !"

"Oh, then, brother Zhong, will you also become an official in the future? Will you not live in Sangyuan anymore?"

"It should be. However, Brother Zhong promises you that if Brother Zhong doesn't live in Sangyuan anymore, he will buy the house as soon as possible and bring you and your mother to live together."

"Yeah! Yan'er believes in Brother Zhong! Hee hee, Brother Zhong is the best!"

Chatting and laughing all the way, the carriage and horse have arrived at the riverside of Zouma.

The squire in front of the horse-drawn cart stopped and put his hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist. Without turning his head, he warned in a low voice, "Patriarch, there is a horse in front of me, it seems to be waiting for me. ."

Ok?
Before ten miles outside of Chengdu, there are thieves haunting?
Hearing this, Zheng Pu was startled, he quickly raised his head and looked forward.

In the sparkling spot of the river not far away, there really was a horse riding straight towards him.

The horse under the crotch is very majestic, with a dark body and beautiful curves. During the galloping with four hooves, the long mane hair flutters freely in the wind, showing the beauty of focus and shape.

The knight on horseback is also very majestic.

The body is eight feet, the waist of the gibbous bee, the appearance is dignified, and the neatly trimmed mustache is dense and long, which is just extraordinary.

Zheng Pu, who saw it clearly, couldn't help but calm down in his heart, and hurriedly warned the squire who was on guard, "I know this person, he is a friend rather than an enemy, so please don't be rude."

After speaking, he comforted Xiao Zhengyan a few times, and then stepped forward to greet him.

It was Liu Yin and Liu Xiuran who came.

I saw him galloping forward, and when he was about twenty paces away from the deer cart, he restrained the reins of the horse, and let the two horses be raised high, almost standing.Immediately, before the war horse could stand firm, he jumped off the horse's back vigorously and walked slowly leading the horse.

When Renwei came in front of him, a voice like Hong Zhong had already struck his eardrums, "How slow is Zijin's arrival! I've been waiting here for a long time!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu laughed, and hurriedly walked a few steps, "Brother Xiuran, this is 'you want to add a crime, so why don't you worry about it'! I don't know that someone is waiting here, An Neng is rushing to do evil?" The words ended, Without waiting for Liu Yin to respond, he added, "However, if I had known that Brother Xiuran was waiting for me at this time, I would definitely delay going out of the city until tomorrow!"

The joking remarks amused Liu Yin with great joy.

He also pretended to be angry, laughed and scolded him, "Ha! You are a Zheng family son! You are really rude!"

Just laugh.

Zheng Pu waved his hand to let the squire guard the deer cart and go first, and he followed with Liu Yin who was holding the war horse.

He also asked his doubts, "Brother Xiuran, are you going to travel far?"

Well, Liu Yin's warhorse also put aside the small clothes and luggage, and he also has a sword and a bow on his body, so it is not difficult for people to guess the meaning of going out for a hike.

"It is also."

Liu Yin nodded, with a smile on his face, "Yesterday at Boda's house, I was fortunate to have Wen Zijin planning a painting, I feel ashamed. It just happened that Zijin said that he was going home today, and Zijin will be swayed again soon. When I returned to Chengdu, I gave birth to the desire to accompany Zijin, so that I could learn something along the way.”

"I want to go back to Chengdu again?"

With slightly raised eyebrows, Zheng Pu asked in surprise.

He also let Liu Yin turn his eyes away, and asked back, "Zijin is not sincere! Although I am not as intelligent as Zijin, I am still a few years old. Zijin is here!"

Oh.
But if you ask by mistake, there is no need to be angry.

Zheng Pu put on a smile and hurriedly surrendered to the crime.Then, he stopped in shock, and asked in a loss, "Brother Xiuran didn't go out of office?"

No wonder he was surprised.

Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion conquered Zheng Pu, it would have to wait for the envoy from Soochow to return, and it would take a long time to travel back and forth between Shifang and Chengdu.

If Liu Yin is in office, it is absolutely impossible to have such a long rest time.

Moreover, Liu Yin is more than thirty years old this year, and when he was famous in Shu, he was earlier than Zhang Biao, Yang Xi and others.

At that time, people compared him to Liu Shen, a fellow clan, and Du Zhen, the son of Du Qiong, the current Zuo Zhonglang general.Today, Liu Shen and Du Qiong have both been set up by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang as the prefectural shepherd's house, but Liu Yin is still clothed. Isn't it strange?

"Well, not yet."

Nodding his head, Liu Yin explained with a smile, "I was fond of martial arts when I was young, and I was a good ranger when I was crowned. It’s hard to move. Simply, I lost my desire to become an official, and I often study biography in spring and summer, and hunt the mountains and fields in autumn and winter to entertain myself.”

Lost your passion for work?

If you are really calm, will you come uninvited and go to evil with me?
The smile on Zheng Pu's face did not diminish, and he nodded suddenly and said, "So it is."
