the first lady

Chapter 107

"Grand... son?" Yueying called out in disbelief, he didn't have dazzled eyes, did he?Was it really his son who was playing with copper coins just now?
Qiao Ling'er was also shocked, and she came back to her senses and asked, "You really just watched me play a few times, and you learned it by yourself?"

"It's not as good as Madam." Zong Zhengyi said modestly.

"..." The corners of Qiao Ling'er's mouth twitched, and then she patted Zongzhengyi's shoulder with a smile and said, "Zongzhengyi, you are simply a genius! You are amazing, I admire you!" She has given him this magical hat long ago.

Just looking at it is enough to do this...Qiao Linger fantasized to herself, if she could be so amazing when she was studying, she would definitely not be ridiculed by those brothers and sisters.

But it’s not just to learn simple magic, but as an excellent thief, some necessary tricks are necessary. A successful thief is able to steal all good things with a smile on his face And leave gracefully.So everything has to be excellent.

The real highlight of magicians in the world of thieves is actually the elegance and confidence, and the vivid performance is like their best moves when they enter various places with treasures.

Zhui Ming's face turned green for a while before he said: "Woman, you cheated and used this kind of heresy to win the victory, it doesn't count!"

"Oh?" Qiao Ling'er's chin was too high at the moment, and Mance said in an orderly manner: "I said, each depends on his own ability, and you can easily take the jade pendant from that soldier's body with martial arts that I don't know. Have you snatched it?"

Zhui Ming was at a loss for words, "But, but..."

"Master, the bridge deck is ready." Before the chasing "but" finished, the soldiers who explored the road had already returned to report.

Zongzheng Yi looked at the distance before saying, "One more time to rest, and we must arrive at Yunrong Town before dark."

"Yes, Mr. Xiang." The soldier said respectfully, but the next moment he showed embarrassment, and said falteringly: "Mr. Xiang..."

"What's wrong?" Zong Zhengyi asked gently.

"...The overpass is unstable. It may be more dangerous for a carriage to pass, you and your wife..." The soldier looked up at Zong Zhengyi and Qiao Ling'er tremblingly, with a look of horror on his face.

"Overpass..." Qiao Ling'er looked along the bank and saw the long chain bridge not far away, "Is that the one?"

"Go back to Ma'am, that's the Tianqiao!" The soldier lowered his head even lower.

That bridge was just like an ordinary chain bridge, horizontal in mid-air. It looked so dangerous no matter how you looked at it. If you were not careful, you might fall down, so the carriage was decidedly dangerous.

"Ling'er..." Zong Zhengyi was also slightly worried when he saw the towering appearance.

However, Qiao Linger smiled calmly, "It's okay, the distance is not far anyway, let's walk over in a while." The feeling of being tall and dangling is very good, anyway, it's not the first time she has come into contact with it , naturally does not exclude.

"Miss..." Lan Feng couldn't help being terrified when she heard Qiao Ling'er say so calmly, even just looking at the overpass that spanned such a long bridge made her, a martial arts practitioner, feel a little creepy.

"Don't worry, Lan Feng, I won't force myself." Qiao Ling'er gave her a reassuring smile.

After all, ancient times are no better than modern times. The quality of this suspension bridge may be okay, but there are big problems with safety measures.

You can imagine that there is only one suspension bridge connecting the two banks with a width of [-] feet, and there is no support in the middle. Even if there is wind blowing on it, the bridge will shake three times.

After passing a group of people, Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi set off. Quite a few horses stood beside them with a sense of fear, and a few soldiers turned pale.

Zong Zhengyi shook Qiao Linger's hand, seeing that she was not worried, but in his heart he still cared for no reason.

Qiao Ling'er glanced at Zong Zhengyi, he didn't say anything, but he was able to make people understand his thoughts, smiled at him, then pulled out his hand and put it in his arms, quite a bit The feeling of being a little bird.

Seeing her bright smile, Zongzheng Yi couldn't help but smile too, it's so good.

"I'm leaving." Zong Zhengyi said to her standing in front of the suspension bridge.

"Okay." Qiao Ling'er followed Zong Zhengyi and stepped onto the wooden suspension bridge.

The entire suspension bridge is made of iron chains, almost as thick as her calf. There are barriers every half a meter in the middle, and there is also a horizontal line in the middle. Although it looks dangerous to dangle like this, I have to say that this Caution is no less.

Qingye and Lanfeng walked in front of Qiao Linger and Zongzhengyi, followed by Yueying and Zhuiming.For people like Zhui Ming who live on the edge of a knife all day long, such a height is actually not a problem, but when they actually walk to the center of the bridge and look down, there is still subconscious horror.

The faces of Lan Feng and Qing Ye are also very cautious. Although Lan Feng has been to many high places to collect herbs, but now such a high place really makes her uncomfortable.

"Lan Feng, are you alright?" Zong Zhengyi couldn't help asking after seeing Lan Feng's stiff movements.

Lan Feng shook his head stiffly, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, uncle."

But listening to her voice, it is not difficult to hear a little trembling, Qiao Linger and Zongzheng Yi frowned slightly, Qiao Linger immediately said: "Lanfeng, don't look down, and give Qingye your hand, let me see you." He will take you away, if not, close your eyes."

In fact, what is really frightening to walk in this kind of place is human psychology. If the suspension bridge is not a long distance from the inside or there are many turbulent turbulence below, it will not give people invisible pressure.And this kind of fear is not something that can be overcome if you want to overcome it.

"Miss, no need, I didn't..." Lan Feng was about to say no, and a red cloud appeared on his slightly pale face, but unfortunately, her words were completely wiped out by the temperature of a big palm.

Just when she turned her head and wanted to refuse, Aoba grabbed her hand, and at the same time she was shocked, she heard two slightly doting words: "Be brave!"

Lan Feng continued to blush, trying to pull his hand out, but found it particularly difficult.

Qiao Ling'er and Zong Zhengyi looked at each other and smiled, those two really looked awkward!

"By the way, Yi, what do you think if the bridge breaks down the people at those two places?" Qiao Linger asked suddenly.Although she is more interested in how the chain bridge was built.

"Unless it has ulterior motives, it will not be broken under normal circumstances." Zong Zhengyi squinted his eyes and looked at the bridge chain in front of him.

How could Qiao Ling'er fail to understand other meanings in his words, if someone wanted to harm them, they would most likely play tricks on this suspension bridge.

"However, I'm curious. You are a frail scholar, why are you not afraid of walking in this wandering place?" Qiao Ling'er asked temporarily ignoring the anxiety in her heart.

Zongzheng Yi looked at her when he heard the words, and smiled helplessly: "Ling'er, do you look down on your husband-in-law so much? Or do you think I'm as courageous as a mouse?"

Being teased, Qiao Linger felt a little guilty, "I'm just curious!" At least in her impression, this kind of weak scholar should have soft legs in this kind of place, although her family doesn't look soft at all.

Zongzheng Yi smiled speechlessly, "It's almost here, when you get to Yunrong Town, find a place to stay first, and you have a good rest."

"Well, good." Qiao Ling'er smiled sweetly.

Her intuition told her that he has many things. Since she is on honeymoon with him now, it is absolutely necessary to have a deeper understanding. By the way, she can also discuss how he learned her "magic" all of a sudden!
Before dark, a group of more than 120 people finally arrived at their destination for tonight: Yunrong Town.

Yunrong Town is the largest of several nearby towns. It is just at the foot of the Qilian Mountain they are about to pass by. Most of the town is small-scale farming, and the folk customs are simple, but it doesn't seem to treat outsiders very well.

"The people here have been robbed by foreign robbers, so they don't treat us outsiders very well." Zong Zhengyi saw Qiao Linger's surprise at those people's unfriendly eyes, and explained to her.

Hearing this, Qiao Ling'er nodded. She was bitten by snakes for three years and was afraid of well ropes. No matter whether they are harmless or not, in the eyes of these local residents, they are all the same. They must be more vigilant.

"My lord, 120 soldiers have already entered the station, and the rooms of my lord and madam are also ready." Yue Ying, who had been inquiring ahead earlier, came over at this time.

Almost all post stations were used as places for officials to rest in ancient times. Even in remote places, as long as the power of the royal family can occasionally infiltrate, post stations will be built.Moreover, the scale of the post station is generally not very small. Compared with Yunrong Town, it is actually not big, but the post station is not small either.

Zong Zhengyi nodded and said: "The soldiers are all tired today, let them have a good night's rest." Then he turned to Qiao Linger and asked, "Linger, are you hungry?"

Don't say it, I don't think that Zongzhengyi is really hungry after saying this, so Sui nodded without trying to be brave.

"Miss, dinner has been prepared." Lan Feng also walked over from the side.

"Ling'er, let's go!" Zong Zhengyi nodded to Lan Feng.

The hall of the post station is actually not that big. In fact, there is more space. In the most central position, there is a place reserved for Zong Zhengyi alone. His identity must enjoy such treatment.

An ordinary Eight Immortals table looks a little better than the ones in ordinary inns, but the quality is only average, polished and shiny.

"Caomin greeted the prime minister." Zongzheng Yi took his seat, and a 40-year-old Zhongfu man with a beard had already walked over. He was dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, and his face was very calm.

Zong Zhengyi stood up when he heard the voice, turned around and said, "Mayor Shi, please get up quickly." At the same time, he also bent down to help the man up, without airs.
