King of Song

Chapter 220 Dare to ask the girl's name
It was only at this time that Lin Zhao realized that he had been holding the little beauty's soft hand, and hurriedly let go, apologetically saying, "Sorry!"

"No...it's okay..." For some reason, Xin Wenzhe, who had always been calm and steady, felt a little shy.

At this time, Su An had rushed over quickly with a team of people.They also came with Achang and other followers of the Xin family. They knew that their "Qilang" had gone to the woods, so when they saw the fire, they were more nervous than anyone else.

When they rushed over, they saw Lin Zhao and Xin Wenzhe's clothes were disheveled, their faces and bodies were all smoky gray and black, and there was still blood on the long sword in their hands. They were all terrified and worried!
"Young Master (Qilang), are you all right!" Su An and Achang were very anxious.

Lin Zhao waved his hand lightly and said, "It's okay! Send someone to clean up the murderer's remnants. It's best to catch them alive. Immediately move the camp to the other side of the river!"

The fire in the woods was raging, threatening to start a prairie fire. Although it was in the upwind direction, it was relatively safe.God knows if the wind direction will suddenly change.The weeds that have started to wither and turn yellow are all under our feet. If the fire sweeps over, it will be no joke!Fortunately, for the convenience of fetching water, the camp is next to a small river, and it will be safe as long as we move to the opposite bank.

"Yes!" Su An immediately sent someone to carry it out. The camp had just begun, and it would not be troublesome to move somewhere.Immediately, they sent people to the edge of the woods to carefully intercept the archers.

Then they escorted Lin Zhao and Xin Wenzhe back to the camp together with Achang!As for what happened, he didn't ask too much, and Lin Zhao would definitely tell him when necessary.During this process, Xin Wenzhe kept his head down and did not make a sound from the beginning to the end. Achang was quite worried when he saw this.

Back at the camp, Lin Zhao ordered: "Bring some hot water and deliver it to Mr. Xin and me!" His whole body was covered with traces of smoke and fire, and he really needed to wash up!
Lin Zhao also said very thoughtfully: "Go, prepare a camp specially for Mr. Xin, and send some washing utensils!"

After Xin Wenzhe heard it, his heart couldn't help but move slightly. Unexpectedly, the pervert is very thoughtful, caring, and knows how to take care of others!Glancing at Lin Zhao secretly, there was a little more gratitude in his eyes.

After Lin Zhao washed up, Su An rushed over, delivered the food, and reported: "My lord, I have taken care of it and captured a few archers, but they were all burnt and smoky... already dead! "

It is indeed a pity that there is no life.However, in such a big fire in the woods, if they are not burned to death, they will inevitably be suffocated by the thick smoke, which is completely understandable.

Su An said: "I have asked the guide to identify the clothes and weapons. These people's clothes are no different from the local herdsmen. As for their identities, it is difficult to determine who they are. The place we are in now is Hehuang, Hezhou, Xixia and the area that is handed over to our Song Dynasty can be said to be a place of no concern.

Moreover, there are many nomadic tribes in the area, and the forces are intricate. If there are no survivors, it is difficult to determine the identity of the assassin based on clothing and weapons. "

"Hmph!" Lin Zhao smiled helplessly. The situation in the Northwest is complicated here. There are too many forces, complicated and complicated, and things seem confusing.

Su An guessed; "Could it be Hezhou or Xixia? They don't want the young master to go to Hehuang successfully... Although Xia Zhan and Mu Zheng's father and son were very respectful before, they may not have hidden evil intentions. Maybe their previous actions were to confuse us. ..."

Lin Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "If I told you that the target of their assassination was not me, but Xin Wenzhe, would you still think so?"

"It's him?" Su An was also surprised. At that time, seeing Lin Zhao and Xin Wenzhe fighting out of Shunlin together, he was a little puzzled, but Su An preconceived that he cared about Lin Zhao, so some things were ignored.

"That's right!" Lin Zhao then told the story of the situation in the woods. Of course, some embarrassing or misunderstandings were automatically ignored.

Su An was secretly shocked when he heard that, it was really dangerous at that time, if the young master hadn't been quick-witted, and happened to have the mirror that could ignite the fire, he might have gone forever.It's just... Su An always felt that there seemed to be something missing in it, but the young master didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask more questions.

Lin Zhaodao: "This Xin Wenzhe's identity is already confusing, and she..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Zhao thought it was better to temporarily conceal Xin Wenzhe's disguise as a man, otherwise many things would be hard to explain, and it would be easy for people to dream.Maybe it will cause unnecessary troubles, but no matter what, you have to take care of Xin Wenzhe's mood and situation.

Lin Zhao continued: "Now that he was assassinated for no reason, things are getting more and more interesting..."

"That's right!" Su An said: "If it's just an imperial merchant of medicinal materials, would it cause such a murderous disaster? This is indeed suspicious!"

Lin Zhaodao: "Looks like I have to talk to Xin Qi...Lang!"

Xin Wenzhe took a hot bath with satisfaction. She hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time. She loves cleanliness and went with a group of men. Taking a bath is completely wishful thinking.

When I was taking a bath, I couldn't help but think of Lin Zhao's thoughtfulness, but then I remembered his pervert behavior in the woods, spying on me...

Thinking of this, Xin Wenzhe was a little angry, and at the same time, his pretty face was blushing, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot. The shyness of a girl is inherent.But if it weren't for this, I would die in the forest today, and he saved me, so I still have to keep the life-saving grace in my heart and be sincerely grateful.

Inadvertently, she remembered the scene of Lin Zhao jumping on her body... This was the first time he had intimate contact with a man, and at the same time he was taken advantage of.

It stands to reason that she should be angry, should be angry and resentful, but she can't feel any resentment towards Lin Zhao.He even vaguely remembered the strong masculine breath on his body.

Looking at the whitewashed jade hands, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Lin Zhao pulled him to escape.Those were a pair of wide and strong palms, very warm and very secure, and she felt a sense of happiness inadvertently...

All in all, Xin Wenzhe in the tub is so heartbroken, his pretty face is blushing, and he still has a vague feeling of being in a state of turmoil. He has lost his usual calm and steady demeanor, and is more like a little girl with a trembling heart. It's her original nature!
After washing up, she still sat blankly on the simple bed, seemingly in a daze!

Until Achang whispered outside the yurt: "Qilang, Mr. Lin invites you to come over!"

"okay!"

Only then did Xin Wenzhe come to his senses, thinking what are those messy things doing?Now there is a problem to deal with!

As a result, he quickly recovered his usual sophistication, put up his hair in a bun again, wrapped a white cloth around his chest, put on a clean dress, and went out.Still the personable and calm noble son...

Lin Zhao sat on a big rock by the small river and waited. After learning that Xin Wenzhe was a woman, it was not appropriate for a man and a widow to live together in the same room.

A bonfire was lit, and some wild game was roasting golden, giving off a tempting aroma.Lin Zhao also deliberately brought some daughter red and simmered beside the fire...

The campsite was very bright tonight, and the forest in the distance was still raging with fire. With the help of the evening wind, it had completely turned into a sea of ​​flames.Like a huge torch, it illuminates the entire camp brightly, and it can be clearly seen even tens of miles away.

Lin Zhao has already sent a guide to investigate. There is a river flowing in a circular arc here, and a barren canyon on the other side.

So what is burning is only a forest, and the fire will not spread too far and for too long.At that time, the situation was urgent, and setting fire was a last resort, but if it really caused a forest fire, Lin Zhao would really feel sorry.

Under the firelight, Xin Wenzhe walked over dressed in men's clothing.After learning that she is a woman, it doesn't matter what clothes she wears.

Lin Zhao saw that fair face at a glance. Maybe before that, it could be understood as handsome, but now it is completely worthy of the word pretty.Especially on the cheeks, there is a layer of faint blush, maybe because the water is relatively hot when bathing...

As for the figure, it is even more perfect, with a slender waist, toned thighs, and an exquisite figure is very attractive.The only pity is that the chest must be covered with something again, and the rolling hills are much flatter...

It is conceivable that if a woman dressed in women's clothing appeared in front of her eyes, she would be a protruding, curvy, perfect figure, glamorous and enchanting stunner...

"Look!" Seeing Lin Zhao's gaze, Xin Wenzhe's pretty face became a little more rosy, his beautiful eyes stared, and he scolded in a low voice with anger!
"Ah, I'm sorry, Qilang...or should I call you Seventh Girl? Or something else?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

Xin Wenzhe didn't answer directly. After sitting down on the boulder, he whispered: "Thank you!" Except for these two words, she seemed to be short of words for a while.

"You're welcome!" Lin Zhao said with a smile, "There are roasted venison here, and this, the fine wine I brought from Hangzhou. It's cold, so eat and drink to keep out the cold!" Looking at Xin Wenzhe's wet hair , Lin Zhao thoughtfully handed over the food and wine!
Xin Wenzhe was really hungry, so he was not polite, so he took it casually, took a bite carefully, and while chewing the delicious food, he realized that this eating style did not match his status as a "man", so he subconsciously wanted to eat the meat.

After Lin Zhao saw it, he smiled: "Don't worry, be delicate and eat slowly, there are no outsiders here."

Only then did Xin Wenzhe resume the graceful eating style of chewing and eating slowly, but after a little aftertaste, he found that it was a bit unceasing.What do you mean no outsiders?Is he not an outsider?Are they that close to each other?I actually acquiesced, alas!
Embarrassed, the shy Xin Wenzhe hurriedly picked up the simmering wine and took a sip.

She didn't want to drink the wine, but she coughed repeatedly because of choking, and asked in puzzlement, "Why is this wine so strong?"

Lin Zhao said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, this is our specially brewed liquor, which is stronger than ordinary liquor. It will definitely protect you from the cold, but I have to tell you, don't drink too much, or else It's easy to get drunk! When the time comes to tell the truth after drinking, or do something extraordinary, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Xin Wenzhe's heart trembled, and he asked instead, "Do you still know how to make wine?"

"Yes!" Lin Zhao laughed and said, "What's so strange about this! If it's cold, I'll give this to you!"

Xin Wenzhe took a look, and said pleasantly, "Cotton, cotton clothes?"

"You know him?" This time it was Lin Zhao's turn to be surprised!You must know that in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, few people know this thing.

"There are people planting in the Northwest, I'm afraid it's rare in the Central Plains!" When Xin Wenzhe whispered, he felt that Lin Zhao was amazing.In the woods today, a jade-like transparent thing can actually ignite a fire...

Lin Zhao suddenly realized that cotton came from the Silk Road and the sea. It is not surprising that Xin Wenzhe knows cotton.

"Okay, I've eaten enough, and dressed warmly, should Miss Seven tell me something?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

Xin Wenzhe knew that Lin Zhao's intentions were very clear, so it was useless to make jokes or change the subject, and he couldn't avoid it today.

"You already know, what else do I have to say!" Xin Wenzhe said indifferently, "Walking thousands of miles west, a girl is inconvenient, so I have to..."

Lin Zhao sighed, "That's right, a girl who dares to travel west is really brave!"

"I can't help it! The eldest brother is the only man in the long room, he can't be busy, so I, as a younger sister, naturally have to share his worries!" Xin Wenzhe said: "I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and my body is strong, so traveling far is not a problem. "

"Really? How much can I believe your words?" Lin Zhao looked into Xin Wenzhe's eyes with a smile, and his eyes were full of searching.

Xin Wenzhe remained silent. At this moment, silence speaks louder than words, explaining is futile, it will only get darker and darker!
The hippie smile on Lin Zhao's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell me why the daughter of a drug dealer was assassinated? Could it be that the battle between the concubine and the concubine of your mansion is so serious that it has come to the point where swords are used?" Where?"

Xin Wenzhe said: "Perhaps it is possible, but I am also at a loss about what happened today. I really don't know at all. Dare I ask Mr. Lin, has he been caught alive and the results of the interrogation have come out? I want to know who wants my life !"

"Unfortunately, they are all dead!" Lin Zhaodao: "I can't tell the history from the clothing and weapons. They may be Tubo people, Dangxiang people, or Han people..."

"This..." Xin Wenzhe was really baffled, he had no clue about the origin of the murderer!
Lin Zhaodao: "Who did you offend, Seventh Miss? Or is it someone with a special identity or purpose who wants to kill you?"

"Who are you going to offend?" Xin Wenzhe suddenly remembered something, and said, "Do you still remember those Tibetans who clashed with them in Dasanguan? Could it be them?"

"It's possible for the Tubo people. But it's just a conflict caused by the fight for seats. Is it fatal? Also, could it be that they have been trailing behind since the Dasan Pass? They didn't do anything until they got here? Isn't it a coincidence?"

Lin Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "At any rate, we have been traveling together for so many days, and we have fought side by side today, which can be regarded as some kind of friendship. Can we be honest with each other? May I ask what is the girl's name?"
