Xu Zizhen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, you are a good girl who knows books and is courteous. How can I, Xu Zizhen, He De dare to accept you as a maid? Isn't this a loss of my life?"
Kou Qiaoyi had a stubborn look on his face and said seriously: "The kindness and righteousness of Bo Yuntian are unparalleled in the world. Qiaoyi is now homeless and helpless. If the benefactor is unwilling to accept me, then Qiaoyi will only..."
Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that one head was as big as two, and quickly stopped her from talking: "No, no, no, we have something to discuss, so don't be anxious, okay?" After saying that, he looked at Liu Fengsui as if asking for help, and whispered.
, "Second brother, think of a way for me quickly, I can't stand it anymore."
Liu Fengsui looked at him with gloating, and said with a smile: "Brother, Miss Qiaoyi is sincere, hehe... She is so beautiful, so why not take her in because of my humble opinion?"
"you!"
Xu Zizhen almost choked with anger. Before he could speak, Li Meng said with a serious look on his face: "Uncle, I think Sister Qiaoyi is quite pitiful. Just take her in." After saying this, Xu Zizhen turned back to him without waiting for a reply.
Kou Qiaoyi said, "Sister Qiaoyi, can you cook?"
Kou Qiaoyi nodded: "I lost my mother when I was young. Although I am not proficient in needlework, laundry, cooking and other things, I have a rough knowledge of them."
Li Meng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's great. From now on, sister Qiaoyi will be responsible for cooking, and I will be responsible for washing clothes. Do you agree?"
Seeing the two talking to each other, Xu Zizhen couldn't laugh or cry at the side. It was always inconvenient to take a big girl with him when he went over the mountains from here to Lanzhou. Moreover, he was still a fugitive, so what was going on with a maid?
He wanted to refuse, but looking at Kou Qiaoyi's pitiful appearance, he still swallowed his words.
Damn it! If you dare to follow me, I will take it!
He rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "You have to think clearly, when you are my maid, you also have to take care of warming the bed."
Kou Qiaoyi's pretty face turned red, she lowered her head and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's chirping: "Qiaoyi is willing."
Xu Zizhen was really dumbfounded at this time. He looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Isn't it right? You are willing to do this... you are willing to do this?"
Liu Fengsui pulled his shoulder and looked at him like a monster: "Brother, it is natural for a maid to warm the master's bed. Why are you so surprised?"
Xu Zizhen was speechless: I forgot again, this is the Song Dynasty...
The words have been spoken and cannot be taken back, so from today on, Xu Zizhen, the fugitive, has a pretty maid who is as beautiful as a flower, knowledgeable and sensible.
Kuizhou couldn't stay any longer, even in the mountains outside the city. It would be troublesome if the prefect of Kuizhou sent people to search the mountain. The four of them cleaned up and said goodbye to Kou Duan's lonely grave.
Head northwest.
The four of them first walked north, passing through Jinzhou and passing through Jingzhao Mansion. They walked and stopped along the way, choosing to take them to remote areas outside the city, admiring the customs and customs of this northwest corner of China. The willow breeze followed.
In his free time, he took Li Meng to find a quiet place and taught him kung fu for a while.
After walking leisurely for more than twenty days, we finally entered Qinfeng Road in the northwest corner of the Song Dynasty.
Qinfeng Road was established during the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are a total of twelve prefectures, one of which is Fengxiang Prefecture, which governs the states and counties along this road. Lanzhou is one of these twelve prefectures, located in the northwest corner. It has always been a military strategist.
A battleground.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a shortage of horses. People without status and status could not buy horses at all. Xixia produced fine horses, but the horse trade was strictly controlled. Xu Zizhen and the other four walked or took an ox cart along the way until they entered the south of Lanzhou.
In Xizhou, I spent a lot of money to buy three bad horses in a local black market.
Four people and three horses. It’s not that Xu Zizhen is reluctant to spend money. It’s actually horses that you can’t buy here even if you have money. The owner of this black market is also a wise man. He knows a horse dealer who makes money from escape, so he is so good.
A few horses. In his words, Xu Zizhen was lucky enough to find these three horses.
Xu Zizhen used to live in the city, so how could he have the opportunity to ride a horse? Even if he occasionally went to some scenic spot and took pictures of an old horse dressed in red and green, it could only be said to be a ride.
At present, these three horses are almost all eliminated war horses stolen from Xixia. They have extremely violent tempers. They will turn over their hoofs and show their hands as soon as they take the bridle. Xu Zizhen just got on the horse and was knocked over to the other side before he could even sit firmly on his buttocks.
Side, Liu Feng laughed so hard that he held his stomach and cried out in pain.
Among the four, Liu Feng followed his father Zhang Qing as a horse-riding general. He also learned how to ride well under the guidance of his mother since childhood. Li Meng was half of Xixia blood, and he grew up in Xixia when he was a child.
There are many people who ride, and among the four, he has the best riding skills.
The only thing that comforted Xu Zizhen was that Kou Qiaoyi couldn't ride a horse either, which at least saved him some face, but it was just embarrassing to compete with a girl, and he really couldn't do it.
He has always had a stubborn temper and never believed that there was anything he could not do well. Since he couldn't ride a horse, fine, he didn't leave yet. He took the horse and found an open space, got on the horse and started practicing.
At first, he was still bruised and swollen from the fall, but with the presence of two famous teachers, Liu Fengsui and Li Meng, and his naturally developed motor cells, he was able to ride decently in just half a day, but he just
Not long after he was so proud, Liu Feng then said to him seriously: "Brother, with your current riding skills, it would be fine if you were a merchant and peddler, but if you are fighting..."
A simple sentence suddenly woke him up. Yes, not only the Xixia people, but also the Jin people will inevitably fight with the Jin people in the future. If I live longer, I will have to fight with the Mongols. Is it possible that I will be an infantry soldier like my master Wu Song?
?
So he gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his crotch caused by riding horses for a long time, and persisted in practicing. Anyway, he knew that Xixia and Song Dynasty would fight from time to time, so he was not in a hurry to rush to Lanzhou.
Li Meng was happy with this result. He pestered Liu Feng to teach him flying rocks and marksmanship every day. The little guy had the same stubborn temper as Xu Zizhen. Even though Liu Feng was beaten with flying rocks and wooden sticks all over his body with scars every day, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
When he came down, it was just that Xu Zizhen was immersed in practicing his riding skills, but he knew nothing about his progress.
Just ten days later, the bad horse had been tamed by Xu Zizhen, and his riding skills had also made great progress. He was about to show off to Liu Fengsui, but the latter had already found him.
After getting on him, he said seriously: "Brother, all the feasts in the world have to come to an end. I still have important matters to attend to, so I can no longer accompany my eldest brother."
Xu Zizhen already knew that he did not come to the northwest to pay birthday wishes to some aunt, but Liu Feng didn't say anything and didn't ask. He just nodded: "Okay, when will you leave?"
Liu Feng followed: "Now."
Xu Zizhen remained silent. Over the past few days, he and Liu Fengsui had gotten along more and more harmoniously. They were as close as brothers. At this moment, he was about to leave, but he felt really hard to leave. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Then
Where can I find you in the future?”
Liu Fengsui paused and said with a smile: "If we are destined, we can meet you anywhere. Brother, take care!"
At this moment, Xu Zizhen suddenly noticed a trace of sadness flashing in Liu Fengsui's eyes, and an inexplicable shiver in his heart: What is he going to do?
