The Black Horse

Chapter 53

Views:

Bai Shiqi was born with a free and unrestrained temperament, and it was very handy for her to play the role of one of the two men fighting for one woman, otherwise it would be awkward.

"If you feel happy, why don't you try it?" She scolded Zhu Shoumei: "My parents are making a fool of yourself, and you are making a fool of yourself? Let the marriage take its course. Besides, I have no plans to get married!"

Zhu Shoumei's disappointment was evident: "Do you like Zhao Duozhu?"

"My favorite ghost!" She cheered up and stood in the yard blowing the wind and basking in the sun, wanting to stretch herself but afraid of pulling on the wound: "Don't make wild guesses!"

Before the sentence was finished, someone from outside suddenly came to report, saying that the Wu family brothers and sisters came to visit the disease, but they were directly led over.

Bai Shiqi was still sick, and was impatient with these etiquette, but Wu Rong and his sister came with a heavy gift and apologized to her again and again: "That day, my father was seriously ill and panicked, and the reception was not good. I hope you can help the master Haihan!"

Wu Rong's words were sincere, but Wu Jing's eyes never left Zhu Shoumei, as if a young girl in Huai Chun met a male god.

"There are patients in the family who are in a panic. I was sick a few days ago, but my parents were worried. Even the old woman who was guarding the door only evacuated these days. You can’t even see your face, why did you not entertain me?” Bai Shiqi’s eyes rolled and he understood the intention of the Wu family brothers and sisters, Tong Liang Lianhua praised in front of the Wu family brothers and sisters, “If it wasn’t for Shoumei being careful these days. Take care, I really can't get better so quickly."

Wu Jing heard her call so kindly, as if she had no intention of saying, "Are you old acquaintances, Master Bo and Big Brother Zhu?"

Bai Shiqi laughed exaggeratedly: "It's not just an old acquaintance? It's still young. When I was a child, we fought together and climbed mountains to collect herbs. Shoumei was too smart when he was a child. He can memorize all medical books by heart, and he is very special in recognizing herbal medicine. Hurry up, and don't mess with the children in the village, you are really smart and sensible like a little adult!"

She tried her best to praise Zhu Shoumei in front of Wu Jing, and the more she praised the other party's face, the less good-looking she was. When she got there, she almost caught up with her efforts, and she took a bowl of medicine from the table and handed it over: "I'd better drink the medicine quickly. Bar?!"

Bai Shiqi took the medicine bowl and prepared to moisten his throat and continued to praise. Who knew that after taking a sip of the medicine, he was so bitter that he was speechless, his face turned into a pig's liver, and he pointed at Zhu Shoumei: "You...you..." Really What a ruthless heart, actually using the old trick of Huang old man.

She just added fuel to the flames for Zhu Shoumei's life-long event.

Wu Jing asked curiously, "What happened to the gang leader Bai Shao?"

Zhu Shoumei clung to the edge of the bowl, almost forcing Bai Shiqi to pour a bowl of bitter medicine, and complained to the Wu family brothers and sisters without changing her face: "Bo Shao helps the master to drink medicine and is afraid of suffering, I really don't know where the problem comes from. When you drink the medicine, you will look like this. It is said that the young hero of the Bo Shao Gang, Yi Bo Yuntian, those rumors in the rivers and lakes are probably too many to count?"

The young hero Bai Shiqi was full of bitterness and looked at him speechlessly: "..."

—Is this still the thoughtful and thoughtful Zhu Shoumei

Wu Jing covered her mouth and laughed, and even excused Bo Shiqi: "I guess everyone in the world has some quirks, and the master of Bo Shao may not be able to taste the medicine."

The girl's understanding makes Bo Shiqi wish to marry her back home as a daughter-in-law, and cast a grateful look at her, but she was misunderstood by Zhu Shoumei, and thought she was still thinking of hooking up and flirting with the little girl. , The sewage then poured on her: "Miss Wu, don't look at the fact that the leader of the Boys is being honest, that is because she is seriously injured and can't go out, otherwise she is a frequent visitor to Huajie Liuxiang and a hero in the pink circle."

Bai Shiqi stared at Zhu Shoumei and questioned him with his eyes, "Is there a grudge against you?"

Ruin my reputation everywhere.

Zhu Shoumei looked back at her candidly: Isn't what I said not true

The two couldn't stand still, and looked away from each other.

Wu Rong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but then he thought about it, he also had one or two bad friends to destroy each other, so he felt reasonable, and laughed and praised: "The relationship between the two is really good!"

Brother Wu Jingyin's words even gave birth to a sense of closeness to Bai Shiqi: "I heard Mr. Huang say that Brother Zhu has been lonely since he was a child, and he turned out to be as close as a brother to the master of the gang, which is really a blessing."

Zhu Shoumei: I really want to prescribe some decoctions for the Wu family brothers and sisters to treat eye diseases.

The four in the room had their own thoughts, but they were able to chat harmoniously. Although Bai Shiqi was ill, at the suggestion of the Wu family’s brothers and sisters, he was also very happy to talk about the interesting stories of Zhu Shoumei when he was a child, obviously it was his own. "Great achievements", such as resisting the bullying of children in the village for Zhu Shoumei, and taking the little radishes as a younger brother to drive them away, but they were put on Zhu Shoumei: "... I couldn't walk either. My father sent me to Mr. Huang to recuperate. The children in the village saw me with a lame leg. They made children's songs to play with me every day. They don't dare to bully me again..."

Zhu Shoumei dismantled the platform without hesitation: "Don't believe her, even if the gang leader Bai is crippled, he can take care of a few village children. I don't dare to take credit!"

Bai Shiqi stared at him desperately: Stupid! I'll keep your face in front of the girls for you, you collapse your own stage

There was a hint of irony at the corner of Zhu Shoumei's mouth: Do I need you to save face for me

It is clear that the two have been getting along well over the years since they did not make a deal when they were young, but there are signs of breaking up when the Wu family brothers and sisters come to visit today.

If Bai Shiqi hadn't been seriously injured, he would have knocked on Zhu Shoumei's head to make him think clearly: The eldest lady of the Wu family, the richest man in Baoying County, was raised by thousands of pets. If you can still live a stable life, why do you have to hang out with a dangerous person like her who is begging for food in the Caohe

Like Zhao Ziheng, it's okay for everyone to be a brother, but the marriage is not a joke, and maybe they lose their lives accidentally.

Not long after, the fourth lady of Song came with Zhener carrying the dessert fruit. Bai Shiqi was like a savior and beckoned affectionately: "The fourth lady, come in quickly."

Song Si Niang only came to visit Bai Shikai once after the ban was lifted, and sat in front of her bed with tears in her eyes: "If Seventeen Lang has three strengths and two weaknesses, who will the slave and maid rely on for the rest of her life?"

Bai Shiqi's most embarrassing little ladies weeping, took out the handkerchief to wipe the tears for the beautiful girl: "Don't worry, I will live a long time and be your big backer!" The fourth lady's master and servant were excited After all, I didn't fall asleep for half the night after I went back.

Zhen'er added: "The girl now has some support. Even if the gang leader Bai and his wife don't want to see the girl, as long as Lang Jun has a girl in his heart, it's fine."

The master and servant spent half a day in the kitchen tossing around early this morning. They made two trays of snacks and brought them over. I didn't expect that it was Bai Shiqi's hospitality.

Seeing Lady Song Fourth Lady dressed up, Wu Jing said, "Who is this sister?" Her gaze swept back and forth between Lady Song Fourth and Zhu Shoumei, for fear that this young and beautiful woman had something to do with Zhu Shoumei.

Bai Shiqi waved his hand: "This is the fourth lady in my room."

Since she said so, it was a concubine with a name and dignity.

Wu Jing's heart fell back into her belly peacefully.

After the Wu brothers and sisters left, Zhu Shoumei asked Bo Shiqi angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Shiqi took the glutinous, soft and sweet dessert made by Song Siniang and fed it into his mouth, while not forgetting to answer Zhu Shoumei's confusion: "I'll be the matchmaker for you, look at the look in the eyes of Miss Wu's family, it's hot, old man Huang and The head of the Wu family is still an old acquaintance, what a wonderful marriage."

"I want you to worry about it!" In front of Song Si Niangzi's master and servant, Zhu Shoumei couldn't argue any more, and Zhu Shoumei walked away angrily.

Song Si Niangzi was very puzzled: "Master, Doctor Zhu seems to be very annoyed. Why does he not agree with the Wu family's marriage?"

Miss Wu is fresh and pleasant, has a soft and kind personality, and has a wealth of wealth. What else is there to choose from

Bai Shiqi let out a long sigh, like a seventy-year-old old man who saw through the world: "Young man, you are very self-willed, and you don't know the benefits of a flat road, so you have to hit the south wall with your whole mind."

The Cao Gang is like the southern wall. Ordinary people only see the wealth and honor of the boats coming and going, but who can know that the winds and waves in the canal are high and dangerous, and there are murderous intentions everywhere

Zhu Shoumei is considered her petite, her personality is a bit stubborn, but her heart is the kindest. Compared to Qiu Yunping, who has no strength to hold a chicken, her physical strength is probably much stronger than that of the nerd who has been climbing mountains and collecting herbs all year round. If she encounters a gang fight or a water bandit along the coast, if she can't take care of it, won't it endanger his life

Qiu Ying grew up in the Cao Gang, and fought with her many times in fierce battles. In the end, she didn't end up dead without a corpse. When she chased the scene of the fight, even his body was not found, and there were broken limbs everywhere. Only the head of one of them was found, and the rest were beyond recognition.

It's a pity that Zhu Shoumei didn't understand.

Bai Shiqiban leaned on the bed and sent Song Si Niangzi's master and servant back. When Huang Youbi came to change her dressing again, Shi Potian said in shock, "Old man Huang, you don't want to watch your apprentice's blood splatter. Caohe?"

Huang Youbi was taking off the white silk wrapped around her waist and abdomen in circles, but at the last layer it was stuck to the new flesh and blood. Hearing the words, he was pulling, only to hear Bai Shiqi's "hiss". With a sound, the white silk was separated from the flesh and blood, and blood dripped from the wound of the newborn, and he scolded with a blank face: "If I hadn't looked at that stupid boy's wishful thinking, I wouldn't have agreed to this! "

Bai Shiqi gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain, but every sentence was like a knife: "With my skills, I have to bring back injuries from time to time. Guess how many times Shoumei can avoid such a fight with his skills?"

Huang Youbi raised her head and met her dark eyes, as if it was the first time she saw this little villain's serious expression, she said, "It's not easy for you to save his life, and how many years of careful training have you had to die on the Caohe? She looked away, and her voice carried the vicissitudes of life that did not match her peers: "The Cao Dings on the Cao River are all desperate desperados. If there is a fight, what is the chance of Shou Mei winning?"

Huang Youbi suddenly regretted that her hands had become heavier, and hurriedly wiped the blood on her wound with a clean white silk.

It was very quiet in the room, and it was rare for the old and the young to not harm each other, and each had his own concerns.

That afternoon, Huang Youbi went to see Bai Zhenting in person.

The next day, Tian Bai Zhenting saw Bai Shiqi, and he wanted to poke a hole in this little bastard's head: "What did you say to Huang Youbi? Let him go to refuse the marriage in person? He also scolded you for being cold-blooded and heartless. His apprentice, he is not good at forcing."

Bai Shiqi leaned against the bed with a condescending appearance: "What else can I say? I looked into the prospect of Zhu Shoumei entering our house with him, and when I met a bandit in the water, I sacrificed his apprentice. , and also let his apprentice explore the way first. Although old man Huang is stubborn, he loves his apprentice very much. Besides, the apprentice is no better than the precious medicinal materials that he planted and dug from the mountains. It can be used to make the best use of it on patients. It’s useable once it’s done. Zhu Shoumei is not an object, throw it into our gang like a wolf like a tiger, who will you go to if you lose your life?”

No matter how selfless Huang Youbi is, he can't use his disciples to fill the pit.

Bai Zhenting wished to beat her up, but seeing her wilted appearance after being seriously injured, his brows knitted together: "You mean... that one?"

- Could this bastard of your own be interested in the King of Zhou

Bai Shiqi was lying on the bed, thinking clearly, and when he heard his father's words, he laughed out loud: "Dad, are you stupid? If that one is Zhao Ziheng, I can still hold it in my hand. But who is he? Can he be controlled by me? I really want to get it to one place, which shows that we have suffered a big loss. He was just confused for a while, and now he is not good at it. Naturally, he wants to go wrong. When he can stand up and return to the capital, remember that I am Who?"

If you really want to talk about beauty, the palace is full of purple and red, what kind of talents are there

Bai Shiqi stretched out his two fork-like hands, and the palms still had old wounds. His complexion has been pretty good recently, but he is still far from the hands of his slender boudoir daughter. The big one took care of me carefully: "Dad, do you think I am beautiful or talented? Or is my family background comparable to those of the official ladies in Beijing?"

Bo Zhenting was not a fool either. He was amused by her few words, and he couldn't help but stab her in the forehead: "The ghost is clever, as you can see!"

The father and son of the Bai family have reached an agreement, the lively and scary gang leader Bai is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai again, Zhao Wujiu throws the blame on Bai Shiqi every time he talks with him, pretending to be frowning: "Seventeen is a stubborn stubborn man who would rather not bend, Your Highness. I also saw it, but if she is not happy, even if she breaks her leg with a big stick, she won't be able to screw it back.

Before, it was clear that he was anxious for the next generation of the Bai family's successor.

On the head of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Shiqi has been able to jump out and do harm to others. Huang Youbi is also going to continue the journey with his apprentice. Today, he will send a secret emissary with an imperial decree, and Zhao Wujiu and Yu Ang will secretly investigate the corruption of Lianghuai Salt Dao. , and sent a military talisman, ordering Zhao Wu Jiu to clear the water bandits.

Yu Ang looked forward to the stars looking forward to the moon, and there were many uploads on the street outside. The newly appointed imperial commissioner had arrived in Lianghuai half a month ago and began to take people to the Yandao Yamen to check the account, but the King of Zhou did not move here.

He knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, knocked his head on the cold floor tiles, and almost knocked out a big bag.

As soon as Zhao Wu Jiu received the secret decree, he went to invite Bai Shiqiu on purpose, and the reason was also high-sounding: "You have led people to clean up the Caohe bandit troubles over the years, if you are familiar with this group of people, no one can compare, I don't know this king. Can you ask Master Bo to help you eradicate the bandits?"

Bai Shiqi could still refuse for other reasons, but it was her long-cherished wish to exterminate the bandits above the Caohe.

"I don't know how I can help Your Highness?"

Her brows were heroic and her eyes were like stars. In addition to her complexion, she was still a little pale. It was a deficiency after a serious injury and could only be recuperated for a long time.

Zhao Wu Jiu once again deeply realized that the ordinary lady is Tang Qianyan, while Bai Shiqi is the eagle in the sky... He couldn't impress her with ordinary tactics.

"If Young Master Bai has time, please be my side's staff for a while, and let me familiarize yourself with the Lianghuai waterways, which places are easy to hide water bandits, and which places are easy to ambush. If the eradication of the two river bandits is finished, I will definitely ask for the seal in front of the father and emperor for Bai Shiqi!"

Bai Shiqi smiled: "Please don't have to seal it. If the officials along the way can collect less money, I will be thankful."

The two reached an agreement, and Bai Shiqi spread paper and painted the two Huai waterways overnight.

She was born and raised in Sri Lanka, and she often sailed around in boats. Over the years, she has touched the rivers in the Lianghuai territory. The waterways are all in her mind.

Zhao Wu Jiu sat next to her, saw her grinding the ink and pondering, he picked up the pen and started to draw, while he was drawing, he also marked the place names, the depth and width of the river, the boats that could be used, and the places where he could hide, even Luweidianzi was drawn. Heart can not help secretly surprised.

If in the army, she can be a scout and make a career.

Too bad it's a girl.

Bai Shiqi buried his head in drawing, and before he knew it, the sky darkened, Zhao Wu Jiu stood up to hold the lamp, and Shu Changfeng suddenly said at the door, "May I ask Mrs. Song, is something wrong?"

Song Siniang's voice came from outside the door: "I heard that my father hasn't had dinner today, so my concubine specially brought some soup and rice."

Bai Shiqi was fascinated by the painting, only to realize that it was getting late, Zhao Wu Jiu was also accompanying her to starve, he felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Why didn't your Highness call me?"

Zhao Wu Jiu has seen more of her dangling appearance, but he has never seen her so focused on doing one thing, when she was sitting at the desk and drawing, he kept watching her, and occasionally asked, she would continue to talk, as if in front of her eyes It was Bibo's light boat that drove the two on the waterway she painted, and then she became so addicted to it that she forgot to talk to him.

Writing and repainting, most of the time has passed.

I just heard Shu Changfeng say from outside the door: "Young gang master and my family master have a business discussion. Madam Song can put down the food and soup, and transfer it to the younger one. Madam, please come back."

The fourth lady of Song said in a hurry: "My father has not recovered yet, but he can't be bothered. Brother Shu also asked to pass the message on his behalf, and let him take good care of himself."

The sound of leaving footsteps sounded in the courtyard, Shu Changfeng brought dinner in, Zhao Wu Jiu gave Bai Shiqi a complicated look, "Are you really going to live with Lady Song pretending to be Feng Xuhuang?"

Bai Shiqi carefully put away the waterway map drawn on the table, Zhao Wu Jiu helped to clear up the pen and paper, she raised her eyebrows and said, "There are many men in the world who are unlucky, if you can't choose a good person for the fourth lady, you will rush her To promote the fire pit of marriage, then I might as well keep her by my side."

"There are many people who are unlucky? Where did you come to the conclusion?"

Bai Shiqi said in his heart: As a follower of a monogamous modern society, which one of you hugging from left to right is not unhappy

However, the ideas are different, so there is no need to clarify.

She then smiled and said: "The conclusion I have come from me, if I am a man, I will hug from left to right, and if I see one, I love the other. Anyway, as long as you get a wife and keep a dozen or eight beauties in the room, who will stop you? I can't do it? At least I can get a young and romantic comment, and I won't lose half a piece of meat."

Zhao Wu Jiu saw that she was showing an impolite look again, he couldn't help laughing and laughing: "You, you! It's not a boy, otherwise how many girls would have been harmed by you."

Bai Shiqi shook his head: "No, no, I am saving a group of beauties from water and fire. You have never seen a single husband along the river, scolding his wife when he opens his mouth, and beats his feet when he lifts his feet, and treats him like a horse. Married a beautiful woman and came back, but Lianxiangxiyu is so caring, it makes no sense for a woman not to fall in love with me!"

Her complacent look made Zhao Wu Jiu stunned for a moment: "You mean, I... don't have enough pity on Xiang Xiyu?"

This is simply a paradox - why does Bai Shiqi look like a street ruffian, why does he need others to pity and cherish jade? She herself is also a flower protector.

Shu Changfeng was stunned when he heard it, and then came back to his senses and hurriedly set up the meal.

After eating, the two removed the bowls and chopsticks and began to hold the lamp and continue to paint. Yu Ang came over once in the middle. Seeing that Bo Shiqi's writing was like a god, he was full of admiration: "Bo Shao Gang leader is really young and talented, why don't you join the army? country?"

Bai Shiqi stretched his back, bent down at the desk and continued to draw: "I still have self-awareness and self-awareness. With such a loose and free temperament, if I went to serve in the army, I might have been beaten to death by military sticks long ago."

Zhao Wu Jiu smiled: The little girl is very clear.

Bai Shiqi painted the waterway map day and night, and Zhao Wu Jiu also took back the guards who had been scattered, and ordered them to investigate the garrison garrisoned in the Huaihe River, and he was with Bai Shiqi recently. , those personal guards will inevitably go in and out of the seventeenth room of Bai.

Huang Youbi had set a day to leave, and Zhu Shoumei had all her heart on Bai Shiqi. She came to say goodbye when she was sad. When she entered the courtyard, she saw a lively scene. Although Shu Changfeng was guarding the door, a guard in the room was on the way. Reported to inquire about the news: "…Your Highness, I have been watching Gaoyou's guardhouse for a few days, but I didn't find anything unusual. I just found it strange that the troops stationed at the guardhouse seemed to be very shabby in terms of weapons and clothing."

The two Huaihe Rivers are prosperous, and the guards in various places are not so shabby.

Zhu Shoumei heard the word "His Royal Highness" in her ear, but before she could turn around in her mind, Shu Changfeng had already said loudly, "Doctor Zhu is here, but something?"

After he said "Doctor Zhu" and the word "His Royal Highness" in the room, the two words were wrong, and Zhu Shoumei heard it really.

"Your Highness... Your Highness?"

Zhu Shoumei learned from Huang Youbi and was well acquainted with Huang's family teachings. Immediately, his blood rushed into his mind, and he wanted to rush in: "Who is Your Highness? Who is your Highness inside?"

The door of the room suddenly opened from the inside, Zhao Wu Jiu was sitting in a wheelchair, Bai Shiqi was holding a pen and looking at him in shock, another young man was standing upright, looking over for unknown reasons.

Zhu Shoumei pointed at Zhao Wujiu: "He he... Who is he?" with an excited expression: "Seventeen, who is he?!" If you don't accept his affection, it doesn't matter, even if the two of them are deceived together
