Isn't the person wearing Tsing Yi with a small baggage on his back Xiao Ruxue?
After Xiao Ruxue saw Xu Qing coming, she waved to Xu Qing and said with a smile: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing!"
Xu Qingzong immediately stepped forward, looked at Xiao Ruxue and said in surprise: "What are you..."
Xiao Ruxue said: "I will go to Liuzhou with you."
Xu Qing was slightly startled when he heard Xiao Ruxue's words, and then sternly refused: "No."
Xiao Ruxue was immediately unhappy when she heard Xu Qing's words, and pouted: "Why? Those people in Liuzhou said that all martial arts practitioners from the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains can participate in the martial arts conference. I am also a martial arts practitioner.
My dear, why don’t you let me go?”
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue's aggrieved look and said, "It's not that I won't let you go, but Liuzhou is located at the junction of Chu and Zhao. It's a border area and the road is very long. It will be very hard along the way."
Xiao Ruxue immediately shook her head and said: "I will follow you, I am not afraid of hard work."
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue's resolute look and continued: "Also, the princess will not agree to this departure for two or three months, let alone trust you to go out so far."
Xiao Ruxue said: "Mother and Concubine agreed."
"What?!" Xu Qing was startled and said in surprise: "Is this acceptable? Have you been begging the princess these days?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said: "No, I just said that I am a martial arts practitioner and wanted to follow Xu Qing to the martial arts conference. My mother agreed and didn't keep begging."
How could the princess allow Xiao Ruxue to act like this? This was somewhat beyond Xu Qing's expectation.
Xu Qing pursed her lips and asked: "If you haven't been begging me all the time, then why don't you show up these days?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Because you want to say goodbye to Sister Su. Sister Su won't be able to see you for two or three months, so I didn't bother you."
Xu Qing was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this little girl would consider others.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing's appearance, with a look of pleading in her eyes: "Can you just let me go with you? Xiao Ye can follow his father to the border to fight, but I don't want to stay in the capital for the rest of my life."
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue with a pleading expression, nodded and said: "Okay, there won't be any danger along the way anyway, it would be good to go out and take a look."
The day before yesterday, Xu Qing ordered three shadow guards to sneak into Liuzhou in batches in case of an accident. Three teams were also lurking around in civilian clothes to provide necessary warning.
There is no danger at all on this trip, and even if you encounter dozens of bandits, you can easily deal with them.
Of course, Xu Qing was actually looking forward to meeting bandits and bandits. It would be best if he could encounter bandits and bandits more times.
In this case, someone will reimburse the travel expenses along the way.
…
Along the way, Xiao Ruxue followed Xu Qing on horseback and never stopped talking.
Even if he sees an unknown tree or flower, he can talk to Xu Qing for a long time, his eyes are full of excitement.
Where is the majestic Princess Yongle here?
She clearly looks like a country girl who has never seen the world.
Xu Qing was a little lucky to have the little girl by Xu Qing's side at this time, because with the little girl accompanying him all the way, Xu Qing would not be too lonely along the way.
Otherwise, it would be so boring if there was no one to talk to along the way.
Xiao Ruxue on the side said she was a little thirsty. She took out her water bag and wanted to drink water but couldn't pour it out.
The little mouth has been talking non-stop for two hours, and the water in the two water bags has long been finished.
Not a drop left.
The little girl looked at Xu Qing helplessly: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, I have no water."
Xu Qing took out a water bag from his horse and handed it over: "Here, there is the sound of mountain springs around. You can go and refill some water later."
Xiao Ruxue took Xu Qing's water bag and nodded while drinking: "Yeah."
…
Until dark, Xiao Ruxue was pulling Xu Qing on the road, as if she had endless energy.
The little girl has always been like this. Except for being a little listless in summer, she is very lively in the other three seasons.
The little girl looked up at the increasingly dark sky, looked at Xu Qing who was riding beside her, and asked: "Xu Qing, where should we sleep at night?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "I said an hour ago that I would stay at the inn in the small town I was passing by. You have to rush on your way. On this desolate trail, I'm afraid you won't even encounter the inn set up by the government. We
Where can I find a hotel?”
When the little girl heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, what should we do?"
Xu Qing said: "If there is really no other way, we can only sleep outdoors for one night. Then we will find a dry place, make a bonfire, and hunt a prey to roast and eat."
Xu Qingyue said that Xiao Ruxue became more and more excited. Bonfire, barbecue, and hunting?
So interesting!
It would be great if it could always be like this.
Xu Qing saw through Xiao Ruxue's thoughts and said with a smile: "This is just an emergency measure. The dew is thick at night in autumn, and you will get sick if you sleep outside for a long time. We didn't bring a tent."
"Oh, that's it." When Xiao Ruxue heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately lowered her head and secretly vowed to bring a tent next time.
…
As the sky got darker and darker, and the sky was full of stars, Xu Qing finally chose a relatively dry place, chopped some branches with his sword, piled them together, and started a fire.
Xiao Ruxue moved two rocks and put them together as a place for the two of them to sit, full of expectations for their first camping trip.
Among the grass on the hillside not far away.
A group of bandit-like people dressed in black and with their faces covered looked at the two people clinging to each other by the woods below, warming themselves by the fire, and their eyes lit up.
One of them looked at the leader at the front and said: "Look, boss, there are only two people below, so it's easy to start! And the little girl is really pretty... I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life."
When the boss heard this, he slapped the man on the head: "How many times have I told you, we are bandits, we only steal wealth but not sex! We are breaking the rules! What big things can you do like this?"
At this moment, a man in black came over and said: "Master, I saw a caravan resting not far ahead. There are many carriages, full of goods!"
When the boss heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "A truck full of goods?! Let's go! Go and have a look!"
The man in black who was slapped said helplessly: "Master, what should I do with these two people?"
The boss snorted and said: "How much money can these two people carry with them? Is it as much as a truck full of goods? They are lucky today, so let's spare their lives for now."
When the man in black heard what the leader said, although he felt unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to say: "Yes."
Another place with thick trees
The shadow guards had already put on black armor and were sharpening their swords, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
At this moment, the Shadow Guard scout returned, looking at a man who looked like a general, clasping his fists and saying, "Sir Captain, those bandits have left and have not taken action against the commander or the commander."
When Colonel Xuanjia heard this, he put the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard and said, "They are lucky today, so let's spare their lives for now."
