Ling Wanjun frowned and shouted: "Who asked you to come in? Get out!"
Ling Xiaoxiao pouted: "I won't go out! Why don't you send someone to find Brother Xiaosi?"
Ling Wanjun sighed and said helplessly: "Xiaoxiao, I know you are thinking about your fourth brother. Yesterday I sent people to search around, but to no avail..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao said, "This is already the third day, and there has been no news about Brother Xiaosi. Please send someone to look for him as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Ling Wanjun yelled angrily, "Get out! I have my own sense of proportion!"
Ling Xiaoxiao raised her head and was about to speak when Ling Wanjun glared and shouted: "Get out!"
"Humph, if you don't want to go look for me, I'll go myself!" Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at Ling Wanjun with tears in her eyes, turned around and ran out.
Han Kuangsi said: "Wan Jun, Xiaosi has been missing for three days. I don't know where he is now. It's time for us to send people to search again. As long as we can't find him for one day, we can't stop."
The Lingshu Taoist smiled and said: "Xiaosi is a very clever kid and is very adaptable. Although I don't know where he is now, I believe he will be fine."
Ling Wanjun nodded. Although he agreed with Taoist Lingshu's opinion, he still felt uneasy in his heart and shouted loudly to the outside: "Zhang Cheng, come in."
Zhang Cheng walked in quickly from the outside in response. Ling Wanjun ordered: "Follow Xiaoxiao, don't let anything happen to her, and bring more money for the road."
Zhang Cheng responded, exited the inner house, and ran to the front hall in two steps. He saw Ling Xiaoxiao leading a horse and was about to go out. He hurriedly entered the stable and led a horse out, chased him out of the gate, and looked at Ling Xiaoxiao again.
Xiaoxiao had already jumped on his horse and ran out of a stone's throw away. Just as he was about to mount his horse, the sound of hoofbeats was heard beside him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Lu Qinglin.
"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Xiaosi, it also protects Xiaoxiao." Lu Qinglin answered quietly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then galloped side by side. The sound of horse hooves was heard continuously, and a cloud of dust and smoke was stirred up.
After walking for a while, the two gradually caught up with Ling Xiaoxiao. Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them and said to Lu Qinglin: "Brother Lu, Sister Shen and the others are going back to Song Dynasty tomorrow. Why did you follow me out?"
Lu Qinglin said: "I'm also here to see Xiaosi, and I'm following you by the way. I don't want you to make any mistakes."
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "So, you are here to protect me?"
Lu Qinglin nodded silently, whipped his horse, and asked: "Xiaoxiao, where do you think we should go to find it?"
Ling Xiaoxiao said blankly: "I don't know either!"
Zhang Chengdao: "Let's go to Yingzhou City first. If there is no news about Xiaosi, we will go to Tuxinhe, Yongzhou, where Yelu Xiyin is temporarily staying. If my guess is right, there is a high chance that Xiaosi is missing.
Eighty-nine years have something to do with him."
Ling Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "If that's the case, why don't we go directly to Yongzhou?"
Zhang Chengdao: "Our Liucheng is only forty miles away from Yingzhou, and Yingzhou is the only way to Yongzhou. Since we are passing by, of course we go there first."
Ling Xiaoxiao curled her lips, slapped the horse hard on the butt, and the three of them sped up and headed straight to Yingzhou.
After walking for half an hour, the three of them had entered Yingzhou City. They saw that the city was bustling and peaceful. People on the street were walking or talking leisurely. There were dense shops on both sides of the road, for food, drink and entertainment.
Everything was ready. Lu Qinglin looked at it and praised: "I didn't expect that the city of Yingzhou is so lively. It is no better than the border settlement fields of Xiongzhou, Bazhou, and Ansu Army!"
Zhang Chengdao: "Yingzhou and Liucheng were originally one city. When Khitan Qishou Khan was alive, he once called Yingzhou and Liucheng 'Dragon City'. Therefore, this place is very prosperous. Otherwise, my master would not call it "Dragon City"."
The villa is here."
Lu Qinglin said: "I have lived in the Song Dynasty for many years, and I didn't expect it to be so prosperous here. It's really good."
Zhang Cheng suddenly felt something in his heart and asked casually: "May I ask Brother Lu, where do you live and what do you call your father?"
Lu Qinglin said: "I am from Bianliang, Henan. My father's name is Lu Ding, and his courtesy name is Wen."
Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said again: "Lu Wenwen? Is he the inspector beside Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Lu Qinglin said: "Brother Zhang, do you even know this? It shows that you are very familiar with the history of our Central Plains!"
Zhang Cheng smiled faintly and did not answer, looking leisurely at the sky. Ling Xiaoxiao had no intention of listening to the two chatting. She jumped off the horse, stopped a commoner passerby and asked: "Have you seen a man wearing a sheepskin waistcoat?"
juvenile?"
But the passerby said: "There are many young people wearing sheepskin waistcoats. My fat old man wears a waistcoat. I don't know which one you are looking for?"
Ling Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "What I'm looking for is Brother Xiaosi!"
The man said blankly: "Who is Xiaosi? I don't know him!"
Zhang Cheng immediately pulled Ling Xiaoxiao back and said, "Silly girl, how can you inquire about people like this?"
Ling Xiaoxiao pouted: "How do you ask? Just ask!"
Zhang Cheng was at a loss for words and couldn't think of how to ask. Lu Qinglin said: "Let's take a walk first."
The three people got on their horses again and wandered around the city aimlessly. Occasionally they talked to passers-by, but they didn't get any information. After noon, all three people felt hungry and walked into a restaurant on the roadside.
Small restaurant.
The restaurant was very spacious, with neat tables and chairs and clean dishes. The three of them chose a table facing the street and sat down. At this time, the restaurant waiter came over and diligently wiped the table. Zhang Cheng ordered a fried white peony root and a plate of Uighur.
Beans, two pounds of venison and leek, garlic and melon soup, and three bowls of barnyard rice. Ling Xiaoxiao ate very little, only drank some leek, garlic and melon soup and rice, and kept turning her head to look out the window.
At this time, I saw a huge chaos on the street. Six or seven people rode tall horses and swaggered through the city. Along the way, passers-by were scattered in all directions. Ling Xiaoxiao always hated arrogant people and turned around and stopped looking at them. After a while, this group of people went straight to the restaurant.
He came, got off his horse and walked into the store shouting.
The waiters in the store saw that this group of people looked so vicious, so they naturally did not dare to offend them and served them carefully. Those people ordered a table full of meat, sat there in an awkward position, drank from sea bowls, and made a lot of noise.
, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown deeply. Lu Qinglin and Zhang Cheng looked at the table and saw that among the six or seven people, two were Han Chinese. They wore swords and scimitars at their waists. They had rough looks and dirty words.
Only one young man with a square face was very special. He took off his fur hat and threw it aside. He had no hair on his head, black temples, and a shining golden ring hanging from his ear. He was chewing on a deer leg, his hands were greasy, and he looked very greedy.
, making his face full of oil stains. But looking at his clothes, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family. After chewing for a while, the young man was so distracted by the noise from a few people around him that he threw down the deer legs and shouted: "Don't talk anymore.
Come on, hurry up and eat! We have to go see my father!"
Those few people fell silent immediately, drinking and eating meat without any refutation of the young man's words. The young man shook his head and muttered: "Look at you all, you are so stupid. Why are you making noise when you have meat to eat? My family
The big yellow dog never barks when eating meat!”
Lu Qinglin and Zhang Cheng listened, looked at each other, pursed their lips and snickered. Ling Xiaoxiao looked towards the young man and saw that his face, mouth and hands were all greasy, and he spoke so interestingly that he couldn't help laughing. The young man couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the sound, he looked towards her and was stunned when he saw Ling Xiaoxiao, his eyes never leaving.
Ling Xiaoxiao realized that she was being noticed. Seeing the young man's demented look, he stuck out his tongue, made a face, and turned his head away from looking at him. The young man smiled, dropped his deer legs, and held his cheeks with both hands.
He looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with excitement in his eyes. The people next to him also stopped eating and drinking, followed the young man's gaze, and burst into laughter. One of them said: "Look, the young prince is looking at the beauty!
"
Another person said: "Little prince, do you think this girl is good? How about our brothers capture her for you?"
This group of people spoke quite loudly. Zhang Cheng and Lu Qinglin heard this and frowned. Lu Qinglin was about to stand up with a sword in his hand. Zhang Cheng looked at the group of people and quietly held down his hand.
He shook his head and said softly: "It's best not to cause trouble, we still have business to do."
Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help it anymore, turned around and glared at the young man, and said angrily: "Why do you always stare at me? It's so annoying!"
There was a sudden silence in the shop, and the group of people all turned around and looked in Ling Xiaoxiao's direction. The young man in the gorgeous clothes smiled and said in an awkward tone: "Little girl, you are so pretty, I like it. By the way, you
How old are you? Do you have an in-law? How about being my wife?"
As soon as these words came out, several of his men next to him cheered, and a man with a silly voice shouted: "Become my young prince's wife, little girl, you will reach the sky in one step!"
Another yellow-faced man wearing a straight-fronted gown said again: "Being a princess means wearing gold and silver, and enslaving countless people. Little girl, please agree quickly!" They were laughing and joking for a while, and they were noisy.
Lu Qinglin raised his brows. He was clearly a Han, but he was collaborating with these Khitans. He slammed the table, grabbed a bowl and threw it at the yellow-faced man. He heard an "Ouch" sound.
The man fell to the ground, and a piece of the cup and plate were taken away. Looking at that half of his face, it was already highly swollen.
Seeing that their companion was attacked, the other people jumped up immediately, picked up the guy one after another, and glared angrily. A battle was about to break out. The waiter next to him had already turned pale with fright and hid behind the counter and did not dare to come out.
Zhang Cheng was the most steady person. He tugged at the corner of Lu Qinglin's clothes and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "We have no intention of enmity with you. When we go out, we should be friendly first. Your words are too rude, so I, the brother, can't help but take action. We still
I have something to do, so let’s take a step forward. If we meet again in the future, I’ll treat you all to a drink! Guys, let’s settle the score!” He took out a bunch of copper coins and threw them on the table. With a wink at the two of them, the three of them got up and left the wine shop.
The group of people were yelling and trying to chase them away, but the young man in fine clothes shouted: "It's all your fault for scaring the little girl away! I'll tell my father when I go back and let him punish you to learn to be a frog! Hum!
!" He hurriedly chased after him, looking at the direction Ling Xiaoxiao was leaving, pouting in a daze.
Ling Xiaoxiao and the others left the wine shop, got on their horses and headed towards the city gate. Zhang Cheng looked back and said, "I don't know where those people came from. They must be the sons of some prince in the court. Don't cause unnecessary trouble."
, we have no choice but to wander around the city, we should go directly to Yongzhou, maybe we can find Xiaosi there!"
Lu Qinglin said: "That young prince looks a little stupid. Could it be that he is mentally retarded?"
Ling Xiaoxiao pouted and snorted: "It looks like it to me! He is just mentally retarded!"
Zhang Cheng laughed and said: "How many normal people can look like him? How many can talk like him? He is just a fool! He is still a young prince! I really don't know how his father gave birth to him!"
The three of them laughed together, and Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance back, but couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "They... they are following us!"
The two of them also looked back and saw that the young man in fine clothes was indeed following from a distance. When his subordinates saw Lu Qinglin and Zhang Cheng, they immediately looked provocative and arrogant.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "That fool, the young prince, fell in love with us."
Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Zhang Cheng, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Qinglin and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I just won't tell Xiaosi."
The two looked at each other and laughed. Ling Xiaoxiao was angry and anxious, whipped her horse hard, glared at Zhang Cheng and said, "What does this have to do with Brother Xiaosi?"
"Who said it doesn't matter? If I tell Xiao Si about this, do you think he will be in a hurry?"
Ling Xiaoxiao also smiled and said happily: "That's natural, brother Xiaosi loves me the most!"
Zhang Cheng and Lu Qinglin laughed again when they heard this. Ling Xiaoxiao immediately blushed and shouted, "Why are you laughing again? Brother Lu, you are laughing at me too, because I won't tell Sister Qinghua when I go back!"
Lu Qinglin said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's hurry up and find a way to get rid of that silly boy."
So the three people hurriedly waved their riding whips and left Yingzhou City like a gust of wind. Looking back, they saw the group of people surrounded by young people in fine clothes still following them from a distance. Ling Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "What should we do? I can't get rid of it.
Drop them!"
Zhang Chengdao: "Don't be anxious. I don't think they have any ill intentions. Let's go for a while first."
