Linglong

Chapter 44

Outside the city of Shuntianfu, there is a long pavilion ten miles away. Zu Jiying personally sent Qin Shiming here, and the two bid farewell.

Qin Shiming originally resented Zu Jiying, "It's all your fault! If you didn't give me that bad idea, I wouldn't be deported back to the capital!" Zu Jiying said in a low voice when he was living under the fence all these years Many good words, "Sister Qin, I really have good intentions. I wanted to teach that little girl a lesson for my sister, but I was wrong in my calculations. I didn't expect that little girl's determination to be far better than ordinary people. Sister Qin, think about it, if you change Ordinary people, when they are pushed up, they should be scared? Start screaming? After being pushed to a high altitude, how can there be someone who doesn't die, crying and begging for mercy? The little girl's plan is not wrong." Qin Shiming was bored. I thought about it dully, "That's true. Don't talk about you, even I didn't think of it. That little girl is really different from ordinary people, and she talks about her integrity, like an old master. Oh, forget it, it's my luck. Not good."

Even though he said that, Qin Shiming came here in high spirits and returned disappointed, but he still had a straight face and no smile.

She is Mrs. Qin's youngest daughter, the jewel in her palm, and no one will dare to make things difficult for her after she returns to the Qin family, but her future is worrying.No matter how precious Mrs. Qin is to her, there is no way to guarantee that she will marry into the royal family—if Mrs. Qin has that ability, she won't have to travel all the way to Shuntian Mansion.

The two of them were saying goodbye in the long pavilion, and Zu Jiying's skinny little girl, Xiaoqing, slipped out while no one was looking.

She was inconspicuous and timid, no one paid attention to her.

She looked around secretly, sneaked up to a gray horse, hugged the horse's legs, and made out with the big gray horse.

Still very courageous.

It seems that she is still a child at heart, playing with this gentle big gray horse.Not to mention that no one noticed this scene, even if someone saw it, they probably wouldn't take it to heart——Xiaoqing is too inconspicuous.

Xiaoqing put a few thorns into the horseshoe, rose thorns.

She thought she was perfect, but when she looked up proudly, she saw a girl standing by the side of the road. Her face should be young, but she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but her figure was smaller than that of ordinary girls. Much taller, looking her up and down curiously.

The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, made of cloth, dark blue, unadorned.

"Where is the country girl who dares to spoil my big business?" Xiaoqing became angry from embarrassment, and glared at her viciously.

Xiao Qing, who looked pitiful just now, became fierce all of a sudden.

The girl probably thought it was funny, so she grinned.

Xiaoqing rushed over, as if she wanted to bite her, the girl even laughed and leaned back, pretending to be scared, and kept going backwards until she reached a country road.There was a thin crooked-neck tree by the side of the path, four horses were tied to the tree, and two rough-faced men pulled the girl to laugh. These two men had high cheekbones, high nose bridges, pointed faces, and very tall stature. Tall and looking physically fit.The other girl, who was also wearing a dark blue cloth, had a big braid on her head. Looking at Xiao Qing who was following her, she smiled brightly, showing her white teeth.

Xiaoqing looked at the two men and two women, and stopped walking vigilantly.

There are too many people, there are too many of them, there are four of them.

She turned her head and looked in the long pavilion, and saw a beautiful scene, Qin Shiming and Zu Jiying were surrounded by maids and mother-in-law dressed in red and green, and the two young ladies could not be seen from the outside .Xiaoqing couldn't see Zu Jiying, she didn't know what to do, so she didn't dare to chase down any more, she stopped hesitantly, and looked at the four strangers in front of her with beastly eyes, as if she couldn't tell whether they would inform or not.

The two men laughed and mumbled something.The two blue-clothed girls laughed and waved their hands, but Xiaoqing couldn't understand a word they said.But Xiaoqing is a poor person who is good at observing facial expressions. Based on her intuition, she feels that the four people in front of her are not malicious and don't want to meddle in other people's business.Sure enough, not long after, the four got on their horses, waved goodbye to Xiaoqing with wide smiles, and headed towards Shuntian Mansion with crisp hooves.

"Let's go? Can't you tell the secret?" Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoqing slipped back to the ten-mile long pavilion, Zu Jiying had already parted ways with Qin Shiming, and Qin Shiming, surrounded by everyone, got into a large carriage carefully prepared for her by the Qin family, surrounded by dozens of guards on horseback, very dignified.Zu Jiying couldn't be compared with her, only her own red wheeled carriage, and the black lacquered flat-headed carriage that the maids rode.Fortunately, Zu Jiying was going back to the city, and the road was very peaceful, so he didn't need any help.

Zu Jiying's carriage moved slowly.

Xiaoqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.What?Isn't the girl's horse black? When was it replaced by a big gray horse?Xiaoqing was flustered, and wanted to run forward in a hurry, but was firmly grabbed by a big girl, who scolded: "Why are you running around? Your legs will be broken if you run around again!" Xiaoqing was caught by the big girl and got into the car , she is thin and small, and the big girl carries her like an eagle carrying a chick.

Xiaoqing huddled in the corner of the car, her eyes were blank, she didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.

If the girl is dead, if the girl is dead... the big gray horse runs, the thorns will always hurt it, it will go crazy, it will not be able to bear it...

Zu Jiying's carriage drove on the country road. It was very stable at first, but gradually the big gray horse became anxious, with its head raised and neighing, and its front hooves raised, as if it was in pain and going crazy.

The coachman who drove the coach kept yelling, but it didn't work at all.Swinging the whip, the big gray horse became even more crazy, rushing about like a wild horse that had lost its rein.

Zu Jiying and Xiaohong in the car let out screams.

"I'm too weak, I was murdered." Zu Jiying supported the carriage, his face was white, and he thought bitterly.

Chess is a bad move.

"Girl, let's jump, let's jump out!" The carriage was bouncing back and forth, and Xiao Hong couldn't sit still. She struggled to climb to Zu Jiying's side, and supported her with tears in her eyes, "I'll jump first! Girl, jump later, Be sure to jump on me!" He planned to use Zu Jiying as a pawn to save her life.

"Little Hong, you...don't be like this..." Ren Shizu Jiying's heart was as hard as iron, and at this moment, his eyes were also red.

Even if Xiaohong is a prostitute, it is rare to have such a decision when her life is at stake.

Who would spare their lives?

This is the suburbs, there are not many people on the road.Pedestrians in twos and threes saw a big gray horse galloping along the road with a Zhulun cart, as if the horse had gone crazy, they all hurriedly avoided and commented, "Whose car is this? It's unlucky." Hearing the screams of a woman in the car, the voice is still tender, alas, what a pity, at such a young age, my life was buried here."

Everyone felt that the situation was hopeless, the driver and the people in the car would be led into a desperate situation by the mad horse, and they would die without a whole body.

Turning a corner, in front of you are two men, two women and four people riding horses leisurely.Hearing the exclamation, the two men looked back and laughed. One took out the rope from his arms and hit the horse's head. The other flew off the horse. The overturned carriage.

"Don't kill the horse!" the girl in blue yelled.

"Don't kill, definitely don't kill! Horses are much more useful than people!" The man who caught the horse's head laughed loudly, "Horses don't know how to plot people, they can only be plotted by people." The gray horse drew a long sword from its back, cut off the reins, and rode away on the big gray horse that had gone mad.

He wanted to tame the horse, but he was reluctant to kill it.

The two girls in blue got off the horse and looked at the situation in the car. Seeing Zu Jiying and Xiaohong trembling together, both of them were speechless, so they couldn't help laughing, "It's really Miss Qianjin, so timid." .”

Zu Jiying saw two bright and hearty girls lifted the curtain to look in, and there was a sense of ridicule in their expressions, and he was very unconvinced, "I'm not cowardly! You underestimate me too much!"

She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't speak.She was still trembling all over, unable to control her body or her mouth.

When Zu Jiying and Xiaohong were not shaking, the black painted carriage followed.After a while, the strange man came back on a big gray horse.The big gray horse looked dazed, but it wasn't as painful as before. It should be that the thorn in the horse's shoe had been taken out.

Zu Jiying was inconvenient to show up, so two elderly women were missing to thank the four brothers and sisters, "Excuse me, your honor and name? I will definitely come to the door to thank you, and I will pay you a lot of money." Seeing that the four brothers and sisters were riding horses, they were dressed in Simple, it is expected that they have no money, so they said the words of paying a lot of money.If these four people had bright clothes, they would only say "thank you at the door", and if they were rewarded with a lot of money, they would not dare to mention it.Isn't that blasphemy?
The man who seemed to be the oldest among the four brothers and sisters smiled, "It's nothing more than a small effort, but there is no need to mention things like visiting the door to thank you and paying a lot of money. However, I have an unfeeling request, please be sure to agree." He stretched out his hand Pointing to the big gray horse, "Your manor is a rich family, will you anger this horse when you go back? I don't regret anything else, but this innocent horse. Can I save this horse?" Safe and sound, not implicated?"

Ganqing didn't care too much about visiting to thank him, and he didn't care about any gifts, he only cared about the safety of the big gray horse.

"I'm here, and this big gray horse is here." Zu Jiying's voice pretending to be calm came from the carriage.

"So, my four brothers and sisters can rest assured. Let's leave!" The man whistled, and the four of them got on the horse at the same time.

"Hey, you haven't left your name yet!" Zu Jiying hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and shouted loudly.

The four brothers and sisters laughed in unison, but none of them answered Zu Jiying.They rode good horses, and their riding skills were superb, and they had gone far in a short time.

At the gate of the city, the four brothers and sisters got off their horses and entered the city. The guards asked one by one, "What did you do here?"

"Excuse me, are you Uncle Xiao, Second Master Xiao, and the two Miss Xiao?" A man in Tsing Yi with the appearance of a housekeeper smiled, "I am the housekeeper of Yu's house. I have been waiting at the gate of the city by the order of my old man." It's been two days."

"Don't dare to do it, I'm Xiao Datong." The leading man bowed his hands politely.

"Xiao Dayuan." The man behind him smiled slightly.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Han also greeted the housekeeper.

The guard knew that this was the nursing home hired by the Yu family, and smiled, "Our Shuntian Mansion is very peaceful, what kind of nursing home did you hire? The old man has collected too many treasures, are you worried?" He joked a few words, He waved his hand and let go smoothly.

The Yu family is a prestigious family in the local area. Furthermore, the Yu family's son-in-law Su Youting has become an official again, and the Yu family's relative, Qiao Siqi, is the prefect of the city.Who would interrogate the people invited by the Yu family.

The brothers and sisters of the Xiao family followed the housekeeper to Yu's house, met the old man, uncle Yu, second master Yu and others, and their attitudes were neither humble nor overbearing.

Linglong stood beside her, full of curiosity.

These four brothers and sisters should be very good at martial arts, right?

"I don't sell myself." Xiao Hua said simply.

"Yes, don't sell yourself." Xiao Han had the same attitude as her.

"How can it be? How can it be?" Linglong giggled, "The two sisters are full of heroism, they don't like red clothes and prefer armed forces, I like it very much at first glance! Sister Xiao Hua, sister Xiao Han, we sisters are commensurate, how about it?"

"Then we'll call you Sister Linglong." The Xiao sisters were very satisfied.

Old Master Yu, Uncle Yu, and Second Master Yu looked at the familiar Linglong, Xiao Hua, and Xiao Han, all speechless.

"Hey, Wang Xiaosan, do you know what was my first thought when I saw these four brothers and sisters?" On the night when the Xiao brothers and sisters arrived, Linglong sat beside the desk and wrote a letter with joy, "They are from the Khitan people." Descendants, the ancestors are descendants of Khitan for generations! I think of a myth of restoration of the country..."
