"What's wrong?"
Gu Nan saw that Lingqi didn't know what to say.
My apprentices have always been concise and to the point, this kind of appearance is rare.
After thinking for a while, he asked with a smile.
"Could it be that my family's Qi'er has taken a fancy to some young master?"
Lingqi's face turned red with a pop: "Master."
"No?" Seeing her blushing, Gu Nan couldn't help but pat her on the face.
"Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the young master or the girl?"
Feeling some cold hands on her face, the blush on Lingqi's face deepened, and she took a step back to avoid Gu Nan's hand.
"Master, Qi'er really has something to say."
With his hands empty, Gu Nan pretended to be depressed and sighed.
"Hey, the apprentice has finally grown up and won't kiss the master anymore."
"No, it's not."
Seeing Gu Nan sighing, Lingqi was at a loss.
He paused, bit his lip, lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"If master likes it, just touch it."
Gu Nan pretended not to hear, and tilted his ears: "Well, what are you saying that the master can't hear?"
"I said master can touch"
Halfway through speaking, Lingqi realized that the master was teasing herself again, trying to straighten her face.
"master!"
"Hehe, well, I won't tease you anymore." Gu Nan withdrew her hand.
"What are you going to tell me?"
Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, the blush on her face gradually faded, and she looked towards the carriage.
"Master, where will the woman go after that?"
"I don't know either, probably someone to defect to." Gu Nan shook his head.
"Then what if she has nowhere to go?" Lingqi continued to ask.
Gu Nan was stunned for a moment, she had vaguely guessed the identity of this woman, if it was true, this woman might really have nowhere to go.
Looking into the carriage, she was speechless for a while.
Lowering his eyes, he tidied up his belt.
"That's also impossible."
He raised his head and said, "Get ready, it's time to go."
Lingqi raised her eyes hesitantly, and finally nodded.
"yes."
In fact, she originally wanted to tell the master that maybe this woman could follow them. But as the master said, maybe this is indeed something that can't be helped.
The team slowly left the city.
Gu Nan also got into the carriage and sat beside Diao Xiu'er.
The carriage bumped, causing the curtains on the side to shake, occasionally revealing the scenery outside. Diao Xiu'er stared blankly, she could only see the scenery on both sides outside the window, but couldn't see the road where the carriages and horses got off.
I don't know how long it took, the carriages and horses stopped.
Gu Nan glanced outside, then turned around and said to her.
"Girl, you can get out of the car."
Diao Xiu'er nodded and stood up, bowing her head.
"Thank you sir."
"It's nothing, it's just on the way."
As Gu Nan said, he got up and lifted the curtain of the car.
Watching Diao Xiu'er get out of the car.
Outside is a piece of countryside, a path is winding, and I don't know where it leads. But for Diao Xiu'er, where it leads may not be important.
She turned around and once again bowed deeply to Gu Nan and Ling Qi who came forward on horseback.
"Sir, General, please leave now."
"It's a good journey." Lingqi bid farewell.
Diao Xiu'er turned around and walked towards the path. There were so many grasses in the countryside, this situation was just a good time to say goodbye.
She hadn't gone far when suddenly Gu Nan's voice came from behind.
"girl."
The woman on the small road turned her head, and there was grass in the field, and the gentleman in white was sitting on the carriage, smiling at her.
"If the girl has no good place to go, why don't we go back to Qingzhou together?"
The wind blows the Asakusa on both sides of the road, and Diao Xiu'er stands in the middle of the road.
I thought I had heard the wrong thing.
Lingqi froze for a moment, then smiled.
It seems that her master is not always an elm head.
Urging the horse forward, he walked to Diao Xiuer's side.
"Let's go together, it's not too late for you to meet her now."
When meeting is not just meeting, you can also meet and know each other. Being able to meet is always better than never meeting or missing. Because when you see it, it doesn't matter whether it is sooner or later.
A bit of warmth streaked across the woman's cheeks and dripped onto the grass.
Many years later, when she was in her twilight years, she was lying on the sickbed in an old state, recalling her life with her last bit of strength.
Finally, the picture freezes in that winter, she is standing in a patch of grass.
Hearing someone calling her from behind, when she turned her head, she saw a clear sky and wilderness in her eyes. A carriage stopped on the road, and a general stood beside him on horseback. The gentleman in white on the carriage smiled and waved to her.
She smiled and walked over.
On the sickbed, she also smiled and closed her eyes.
"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang. Feng Chen Chu Wei, Jiang Shen Han Yang. Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang"
A few children walked through the crowd on the street, singing some songs that they didn't know what it was, the tune seemed to come from them casually, and the content seemed to be some tongue twisters.
After Yanzhou was invaded by Qingzhou and Xuzhou, it was divided into two, and each of the two prefectures governed one. Zang Ba stationed troops in Jiyin and led Dongjun, Chenliu, Peiliang and other places, and his strength became stronger day by day. But Tao Qian later fell seriously ill and was bedridden. Without this restraint, Zang Ba's entire army and horses almost became a vassal of his own.
However, the land of one state in Yanzhou could not accommodate two lords. Zang Ba raised troops to attack the north side of Yanzhou. After a few months, he was defeated by Xiahou with tricks and recruited his troops, and Zang Ba also took refuge in Cao Cao's men.
The harvest in Qingzhou was good this year, and life was much better than when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos a few years ago. Moreover, the rent of the fields has also decreased, and almost every family has spare food. When there is a lot, they will take it to the market to exchange for something.
For this reason, the opening hours of the market have also been extended, and people can come to the street to exchange things almost all day before nightfall, so that traveling merchants from some surrounding places sometimes come to buy and sell some goods.
So now there are always many people on the streets in this city.
"Cough, cough, cough." A young man walked through the crowd and coughed a few times. He didn't know the way, but he didn't know that he had walked to the market.
Seeing the crowds of people thronging the market, he smiled wryly. He had been to Luoyang, and the market there was probably nothing more than that.
"Kong Cao Yan Hua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang. Qi Xie Zou Yu, Bai Shui Dou Zhang. Yun Su Pan Ge, Xi Fan Peng Lang"
A few children sang something and ran past him. The young man didn't pay attention at first, but the words caught his ears, and he turned his ears unconsciously.
"Kong Cao Yan Hua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang."
He read it softly and laughed a little. These children seemed to be singing people's surnames. Although there was no literary reason, the rhymes of the sentences were interesting.
Most of the people passing by him were smiling, and occasionally they could hear the greetings from the neighbors.
This is something he rarely sees in other places, and what he sees the most should be the moans of the common people.
This is Qingzhou.
The young man looked up at the sky, curling his mouth.
He had a premonition that it would be very interesting for him to visit his old friend.
