Chapter Twenty-Four: Meeting a Homecoming Outside the City
Two days later, Liu Ji wonton stall.
Feng Ziqing ate the wontons in the bowl very slowly. If Liu Fu didn't show up today, he would be ready to leave after finishing the wontons.
After the last mouthful of wontons went into his stomach, Feng Zi licked his lips, smiled and said hello to Xiaohu, then returned to the restaurant and took out Fugui'er, who had gained a lot of weight, and walked towards the south gate of the city.
After leaving the city gate, Feng Ziqing got on his horse, and not long after walking, he met Liu Fu, who was covered in dust and was rushing back.
At this time, her hair was a little messy, but her clothes were still clean. The horse underneath her was obviously a little tired and its limbs were heavy. It seemed that she had not experienced a fight, so she felt a little relieved.
Feng Ziqing rode a few steps forward, winked, twisted the reins, and walked toward the northeast. Liu Fu understood, deliberately lagged behind for a while, distanced himself, and followed.
After walking for about three to five miles, Liu Fu saw Feng Ziqing not far away, standing on the edge of the forest on the roadside. She waved to him, then turned around and entered the forest. She urged her horse to follow.
In the forest, Feng Ziqing saw that her lips were dry and handed over the water bag that he had prepared. He smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Drink some water. Are you hurt? If you show up later, I will run away."
Already."
Liu Fu reached out to take it, took a gulp of water, straightened his messy hair, and said with a smile: "No, it went pretty well. I don't believe you will run away. You are not such a person. You came to find me."
"
"Hey, you've only known me for a few days, and you already know who I am?"
"Oh, he's not a bad guy anyway. By the way, let me show you this." After saying that, he took out a few crumpled papers from his arms.
After unfolding it, Feng Ziqing nodded with satisfaction and praised: "I didn't expect that you are still very good at doing things at such a young age. Not bad."
Hearing the praise, Liu Fu grinned and raised his chin, quite proudly.
There are five pieces of paper, one is a reward notice posted by the government, two are curse words torn from the book, and the last two are some poems criticizing the government for being useless. The words are quite sharp and direct.
"Rewards: Today, bandits are rampant, and the chivalrous people are invited to pay the following rewards: The leader of the Weihu Gang: Chen Sha, five thousand taels of gold; the second leader of the thieves, Yan Hu, three thousand taels of gold; the third leader of the thieves, Li Bao, one thousand taels of gold
Two golds”
Liu Fu explained at the side: "You don't know that when I first arrived, I wandered around the city first. When I passed by the government gate, I saw the leg-colored reward notice next to me saying that there was a reward of five hundred taels for Chen Sha.
Gold, such a big bandit leader, only costs 500 taels! At that time, I thought Luwen County was very poor, and even the bounty was so low.
!”
Feng Zi chuckled and said: "It seems that Zhang Che is right. Xihe County is indeed not pitied by anyone. Look, it has increased tenfold. It seems that the curses and poems written by the literati have a great effect.
ah."
Liu Fu nodded and said, "Well, there happened to be some kind of Wenyan meeting at that time. There were so many people. The city was full of people, everywhere! I didn't dare to ask, for fear of revealing that I was not a local.
Let a storyteller who is finally willing to listen to you wait until the Wenyan Conference is almost completed and write it into a book according to the storybook you gave.
But after I only said it a few times, the scholars started yelling curses one after another, and some of them went to the government office to question me on the spot, which was a bit surprising to me."
Feng Zi chuckled lightly. He could think of the scene where the storyteller was drowned in spit, and asked: "Oh, such a big reaction? It's strange. Logically speaking, the first day should be relatively dull. How about you continue?
explain."
Liu Fu nodded and continued: "I saw that the people in Luwen County had such a big reaction, so I stopped throwing things into the government office. Instead, I found a few local gangsters and asked them to make up nursery rhymes and sing them. I didn't expect the reaction to be even greater.
There was actually a group of people smashing things directly into the government office. I was scared to hear what I heard in the corner. It was much worse than what I heard on the paper. The whole family was killed, the ancestral graves were dug up, it was inhumane, and so on. By the way, what is inhumane?
mean?"
Feng Ziqing was listening with interest. When he was asked this question, he choked on the water he just drank in his mouth. He quickly said: "This, this, you will know later. Men will be angry after hearing this. It is not a good thing anyway."
, don’t worry about these.”
Liu Fu nodded confusedly and continued: "So, since then, the city gates have suddenly become very strict, and I can't leave the city for a while. If I hadn't done what you said and found a few more places to stay.
, I changed back into women’s clothes, maybe it’s really hard to get out. But not long after I left the city, I changed back into men’s clothes, so that I would be less likely to attract attention while riding on horseback.”
Feng Ziqing gave a thumbs up and smiled at Liu Fu, "Not bad, not bad, he knows how to adapt to changes, he is smart!"
Liu Fu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Then do you think it's okay to take me on an adventure?"
Feng Ziqing pretended to be thoughtful and said: "Well, let me think about it carefully. I have something to do and I have to go out of the city for a while. I will talk about it when I come back. By the way, you don't have to dress up as a man in the future. Girls are all good, master."
Revenge has been avenged, he must also want you to live a relaxed and happy life, right, just be yourself."
Liu Fu didn't reply.
Feng Ziqing saw that she was not in a high mood and said: "I am traveling in the world, how can I not have beautiful women by my side? It is so tasteless. Although you are still a girl, you are still a girl and can barely hold up the scene. When I come back
, if you put on women's clothing, maybe I have a greater chance of agreeing."
Liu Fu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is this true?"
"Of course, what the hero said is true to his word."
"Okay, let's high-five then."
Feng Ziqing sighed inwardly. He was so worried that he had no choice but to give her a high-five. Then he asked about the details, and after making a preliminary judgment, he said:
"Okay, you've worked hard enough. Go back and rest quickly. I'll be back when I finish my work."
Liu Fu nodded. She was indeed a little tired. While you are out doing errands, I will learn how to make wontons first.
Feng Ziqing looked at Liu Fu who was gradually going away, smiled slightly, clamped his horse's belly, and headed towards Crouching Tiger Mountain.
——
On the official road, a horseman was riding slowly.
Feng Ziqing kept thinking about why the rumor spreading in Luwen County went so smoothly.
From the mouths of Zhang Che and Qi Zhuo, we learned that although the writing style in Luwen County was popular, why did so many people gather here? Although the intention of the script I wrote was somewhat obvious, it was not ready on the first day.
Such a big response.
Inferring from common sense, could it be because of the cultural banquet? Then he shook his head. Banquets happen every now and then. So this banquet was special? An open-air banquet was obviously ordinary. Could it be that there were some important people at the banquet at that time?
present?
He shook his head and if he couldn't figure it out, just forget it for now. He would find out when he went to Luwen County and asked.
He took out the map and looked at it. He should be able to reach the nearest destination before the sun set. He put his hand on the horse's belly and said, "Drive!"
Fu Gui'er realized this and started to run wildly, riding away from the dust.
