Chapter 770: Don't be afraid that you won't take the bait
Three days later, Xu Zizhen was already on his way to Yangzhou. After enduring it for a long time, Gillian finally couldn't help but asked: "Didn't you say you want to invite a beautiful woman to go with you? Where is the person?"
Xu Zizhen shook his finger: "Correction, I just said to inform her, but I didn't say to ask her to go with me."
Gillian said blankly: "What do you mean?"
Xu Zizhen chuckled: "It won't take long for you to know."
"It's annoying, you're just pretending to be a ghost." Gillian muttered, then she poked Gao Chong, who was traveling with her, and said, "Little Chong, ask your brother-in-law."
Xu Zizhen only brought Gillian with him this time, and also brought Gao Chong, and no one else. Gao Chong originally had a strong objection to Xu Zizhen taking him away, because he had already mastered the Kung Fu taught by Master Yu Chen, and now he is leaving
The only thing we can do is let Li Mengbao'er learn. Boys of his age are eager to compete. The three primary schools studied literature and practiced martial arts together, and no one wanted to lose to the other.
Gao Chong's little face was full of dissatisfaction. He twisted his neck and said, "I'm not happy. He likes to talk about it."
"You guys...!" Gillian almost choked and turned her head away to get sulky.
Xu Zizhen was happy to be so quiet and no one bothered him anymore. He lay down and dozed off with his hands behind his head, but he was actually thinking about it.
Taking Gao Chong to Yangzhou this time was actually just to avoid disaster. Although the Jin soldiers did not come to Yingtian Mansion so quickly, nothing can be guaranteed. If there are some deviations from history by then, Zhao Gou will be trapped in Niutoushan.
Gao Chong went to save the driver and pick up a pulley, but his life was in danger. Xu Zizhen had promised Master Yong and Gao Pujun, so he took this reckless boy with him.
The carriage left the city and headed southeast for more than a hundred miles before arriving at a dock called Xiyedu. Going south from here is the Huai River. You can take the waterway to Yangzhou. Although the speed is much slower, the waterway is more reliable.
Xu Zizhen found a simple and dull boatman and quickly agreed on the price. Gillian and Gao Chong were still sulky and got on the boat without saying a word. Just when the boatman was about to untie the mooring rope, a soft and melodious voice suddenly came from the shore.
sound.
"Wait a minute, boatman, I wonder if your boat can go a long way?"
Xu Zizhen in the cabin suddenly became happy and whispered: "The beauty is here."
Gillian was so surprised that she forgot to be angry with Xu Zizhen for a moment and asked, "Is it really coming? Let me take a look."
Xu Zizhen grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute, I don't know if you recognize this girl."
Gillian was even more surprised: "What do you mean? What does it matter whether I recognize you or not?"
Xu Zizhen said: "I think you should know him, but you may not know him, because you and I don't know each other."
Gillian was so confused by him: "Do you know anyone, you..."
"People call her Fifth Girl, do you know her?"
"Who cares about her girl, I..." Gillian suddenly stopped mid-sentence, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Don't tell me she is... Wanyanhong?"
Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "That's her."
"Is it really her? I know her, but I have never seen her. I don't think she will know me. By the way, how did she come? Did you inform her? But why is this?" Gillian said in a rapid-fire manner.
He sent a series of question marks.
Xu Zizhen was not in a hurry, and explained slowly: "She also has the identity of being the head of Tianluo Baitang, and now she has opened some kind of Qingpingju in Yingtian Mansion, just to get close to me, and she wants to use a beauty trap to get away from me.
Let’s fool around with the blunderbuss, since they have already arrived at my door, why don’t I let her accompany me when I go to Yangzhou so far away?”
Gillian said: "Oh! You really can't walk when you see a pretty girl."
Gao Chong suddenly interrupted: "Brother-in-law, you were worried that she would take the opportunity to do something while you were away from Yingtian Mansion, so you deceived her too, right?"
Xu Zizhen praised: "Okay, boy, you have grown a brain."
Gao Chong's face darkened: "You mean I have no brains?"
Gillian's little face turned even darker: "You mean I have no brain now?"
Xu Zizhen quickly changed the subject: "Ahem... you guys just wait and watch me go to act in a play."
The boatman replied: "It's a long way, but this boat has been chartered to go to Yangzhou. Girl, please find someone else."
Wanyan Hong seemed to be overjoyed: "Ah, what a coincidence. I am also about to go to Yangzhou. Can the boatman ask your guest if he can take me with him? I'll just pay the boat fare separately."
The boatman hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse when he saw Xu Zizhen walking out of the cabin.
"It's convenient for you to go with others. It's more lively when traveling with more than one person. Boatman, just... Huh?!" Xu Zizhen said as he got out of the boat. He stopped mid-sentence and looked at Wanyanhong on the shore with a surprised expression.
Then he smiled and said, "Miss Hong? Oops, the last time I saw you was in Taiyuan. I didn't expect to meet you at such a small ferry today. Do you think we are destined to meet each other after traveling thousands of miles away? God is helping us.
ha."
Gillian and Gao Chong in the cabin both spat: "Shameless!"
Although Wanyanhong already knew Xu Zizhen's virtues, she still blushed when he saw her. Finally she calmed down and quickly returned to normal, but she was still surprised and said: "Mr. Xu? How can it be?
You? Are you...going to Yangzhou?"
Xu Zizhen said with a playful smile: "Originally I wasn't going, but I calculated yesterday and knew you were going, so I came here early to wait for you... Oh no, it's to wait for my marriage."
Gillian and Gao Chong in the cabin both made retching motions and looked at each other, both seeing the contempt in each other's eyes.
Wanyan Hong was a little overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject: "I wonder if Mr. Xu can allow me to take a boat? I have something important to go to Yangzhou, and I really can't afford to delay it."
Xu Zizhen smiled like a wolf, his eyes roamed Wanyanhong's body from top to bottom, and said: "Yun, of course Yun, if Miss Hong has something to do, I have something to do. Please just get on the boat. I will go with you."
Yangzhou.”
Wan Yanhong felt like a thorn in her back, and Xu Zizhen's eyes were so intense that he could see through her clothes, which made her have the urge to turn around and run away. She now regretted that she had to share a ride with this guy with a reputation for sex for her own plan.
A boat and such a long way to go, God knows what will happen next.
While she was hesitating, Xu Zizhen asked with a smile: "Why isn't Miss Hong getting on the boat? Are you worried that I can't protect you on such a long journey? Don't worry, I have this." As he said this, he pulled it from his waist.
He took out his firecracker and shook it.
Wanyanhong immediately put all his hesitations behind him, gritted his silver teeth and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu." As he said that, he held the corner of his skirt, moved lightly, and carefully stepped onto the boat.
"Be careful, be careful!" Xu Zizhen held her up with a concerned look on his face, and gently squeezed her little hand. His face was full of a wretched look of enjoyment, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: Damn, I and the gun both
