Bingwen didn't know that Xiao Zimu was traveling with Su Qian'an, so he naturally thought that there was no secret guard around him who was communicating with Xia Chu.
So after he, Xu Wenlan, Su Qianle, and Huo Wenshu finished their dinner, they went to the study and wrote a letter to Xia Chu, telling him that Su Qian'an was coming back soon.
When Bingwen's letter was delivered to Bian Ding, it happened to be the day when Xia Chu returned to King Mo's camp.
If Xiao Mubai hadn't reached the end of the poisonous period two days ago, and Xia Chu didn't want him to be too tired, so he went to the city to find an inn to rest for a day, they would have been back a day earlier.
Xiao Mubai just returned to the military camp and went to deal with military affairs. With so many days of backlog, Xia Chu estimated that he would have to be busy for a long time.
He handed Blazing Wings to Han Sa to take to the stables and then went straight to his tent. From a distance, he saw Bian Ding receiving the most vicious beating. It could be said to be the most simple and unpretentious beating. There was no pretense at all, just punches. Until the fleshy feet kick him away.
Seeing this, Xia Chu's running steps paused, and he couldn't help but step back again.
Since he left, the soldiers in the army saw the miserable situation in Bianding, and no one dared to come near it again.
At this moment, Raven suddenly felt someone approaching. He turned his eyes sideways and saw Xia Chu. He raised a meaningful smile and moved towards him.
Xia Chu was so scared by his smile that he ran away in a panic. When Bian Ding stood up again, rubbing his chest, he could only see two pieces of clothes, one gray and one green, flickering by, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He rubbed his eyes, still a little dazed.
It took him a while to realize with a slap on his forehead, who else but the young master could make the raven chase him away.
But after he found out, he felt even more desolate. He couldn't catch up with either of these two people.
Gan!
Bian Ding looked up at the sky, and the summer wind blew up a leaf that circled and landed at his feet, making it even more desolate.
He sighed and went back to the tent to apply medicine to himself honestly.
And Xia Chu was chased by the raven for more than ten miles. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Stop chasing me. Stop chasing me. You also know that you can't catch up with me, so why bother."
The raven ignored him and continued to chase.
Xia Chu ran for another two miles and shouted after him: "What do you want to do? Tell me, it's really scary for you to chase me so closely."
Raven ignored him this time: "Stop."
Xia Chu rolled his eyes as he ran, thinking that brother, what you said is like saying nothing, but there is no way to keep running like this, so he acted coquettishly at him: "Crow Crow, if I stop now, you promise not to beat me. "
Raven knew in her heart that she would continue to pursue him like this, so he agreed even though there was nothing he could do with Xia Chu.
When Xia Chu saw that he agreed, he immediately stopped. As soon as he stood still, the raven grabbed him and spanked him directly on his legs and started spanking him.
"Oh, this is the most basic trust between people." Xia Chu was beaten until he cried like a ghost.
Raven paused for a moment, and just when Xia Chu thought his conscience was discovered, he snorted coldly: "I also want to ask, where is the trust between people when you trick me into drinking medicine?"
Xia Chu was still righteous and confident, but his crotched neck instantly wilted. He tugged at the corners of his clothes in aggrieved manner and begged for mercy: "Then how can you forgive me? Is this beating enough?"
Seeing that he no longer struggled, Raven couldn't help but sneered, letting him go and stood up: "You swear you will never leave me behind from now on."
Xia Chu said 'Ah', and seeing the seriousness on his face, she had no choice but to rub her butt and accept her fate: "Okay, I swear."
"You haven't raised three fingers yet." Raven squinted at Xia Chu, who was rubbing his butt, correcting his posture.
Xia Chu couldn't help but stand upright, raised three fingers and said solemnly: "I swear, from now on I will never abandon the raven again."
Xia Chu looked at Raven's face that gradually softened, and then pretended to be limping pitifully and walked over and coaxed softly: "It's time to let go of your anger."
The raven rolled his eyes at him, snorted twice and walked back.
Xia Chu looked happy and quickly followed.
When the two of them returned to the tent, Bian Ding had just finished applying medicine all over his body. When Xia Chu opened the curtain, he saw Bian Ding lying on the table to dry.
Xia Chu looked at the red and purple bruises all over his body and couldn't help but "tsk" twice.
When Bian Ding heard Xia Chu's voice, he jumped up like a carp. When he saw his figure, he rushed towards him to hug him.
Xia Chu stretched out a finger and put it on his forehead: "Did you learn this from Han Sa?"
Bian Ding had a sad face, looked at the raven and then at the colorful things on his body, flattened his lips and cried: "Master, if you don't come back..."
When the raven heard this, he glanced at him lightly. Bian Ding immediately stopped crying, and the corners of his mouth changed from drooping to upwards. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "If you don't come back, I will become stronger!"
After speaking, he nodded heavily to Raven, deeply expressing his gratitude to him.
Xia Chu burst out laughing, then patted him on the shoulder: "I couldn't hold it back for a while, I'm sorry."
Bian Ding's erratic little eyes glanced back and forth, as if he just understood.
Xia Chu nodded, silently expressing that I understand.
Nonsense, how could he not understand? He was embarrassed to say it. He had just been beaten.
"Master, your letter." Bian Ding finished expressing his grievances silently, then took out the letter between Bingwen and the Marquis and handed it to him.
Xia Chu burned it immediately after reading it. Bian Ding had already thoughtfully laid out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Xia Chu replied a letter to the Marquis, asking him to send more people at the gate of the capital. The people Du Hanfei sent out to find out the news must not be allowed to return to the capital. He handed the written letter to Bian Ding: "Okay, I will do it. You also need to pack up for the meal, and then we’ll go back to Beijing after eating.”
"In such a hurry?" Bian Ding looked surprised.
It was already sunset, and it would be dark if he waited until after dinner. He thought that Xia Chu had just come back, so why not take a good rest for a day before going back.
"I want to go back early." After Xia Chu finished speaking, he walked to the tent, opened the curtain and stepped out.
Bian Ding watched the raven follow him and thought about why the young master was so anxious since he had communicated with Bian Hao recently and nothing major happened in the capital.
Bian Ding thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He simply didn't bother to think about why he, a secret guard, was worrying so much. He immediately picked up the pen on the case and wrote a letter to Bian Hao. There were only four characters in the letter: "Master" came back'.
Xia Chu looked at the following raven and asked flatteringly: "What do you want to eat?"
The raven asked without hesitation: "When have I ever been picky about food?"
Xia Chu nodded in agreement and smiled slyly at him.
"Then let's eat pork liver tonight..."
As we all know, crows hate eating offal┑(￣Д￣)┍
