In late autumn, both sides of the official road in Songjiang Mansion were covered with red maples. The dense branches were crowded like fence posts because they had not been taken care of for many years, but it also blocked the wild beasts in the forest on both sides from coming out to hurt people.
The red maple is ripe, and the brick-colored octopus-shaped leaves are half hanging on the branches and half falling on the ground, covered with a thick blanket.
The horses on the road travel easily, but the vehicles on the road suffer. The wheels are often caught by the rolled up maple leaves, or get stuck in the potholes under the leaves.
As the evening approached, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rode two horses, one red and one white, leisurely and leisurely on the official road into the city.
Calculating the time, it is estimated that it will be dark enough to enter Songjiang Mansion. Recently, the sea has been very windy, and the boatman does not lift anchor at night. Therefore, the two of them will stay at the inn in the mansion for one night, and then take a boat to Xingkong Island tomorrow morning.
Bai Yutang held the knife in one hand, and held the reins of the horse to think about it, while Zhan Zhao looked at the red maple trees around him, feeling the beauty of the road.
"Does your hand hurt?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang from time to time.
Bai Yutang laughed, "The cat just has a small injury."
"I can't help it, fifth master is thin and tender." Zhan Zhao teased Bai Yutang when he was free, "I don't know how many people feel sorry for this injury, I'm afraid that I will be blamed to death by those maids when I go to the empty island. "
Bai Yutang looked at him and said, "Don't worry, all the maids and women in the empty island like you, and no one is willing to scold you."
Seeing that he was still in the mood for joking, Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and Bai Yutang's expression was quite serious along the way, as if he was worried about the brothers on Trapped Sky Island.
Sometimes Zhan Zhao envies, Bai Yutang's older brothers are so kind, each one is more loving than the other. My eldest brother oh, I don't know if he is good or bad.
The two of them followed the trend of the official road and made a turn, bypassing a densely branched area, and the road was almost covered from sight.
As soon as they turned around, the two saw a carriage in front of them, and it seemed that the wheels of the carriage were stuck.
This carriage is small and delicate, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is struggling to push the carriage. The small brass bell hanging in front of the car kept ringing with his movements. It sounds sweet and exciting, and one has to think that the person in the car may be a young lady who has not yet left the boudoir.
Zhan Zhao saw that the boy's face was flushed, and he still didn't push the carriage, so he jumped down and went to help, "I'll help you."
The boy looked up, looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise, and forgot to nod.
Zhan Zhao used his internal force to lightly push the carriage, and then pushed it forward The wheels stuck in the pit came out immediately, and the leaves between the axles were pulled out by Zhan Zhao. Patting the dust off his hands, Zhan Zhao said to the boy, "Put a piece of wood or hard leather behind the wheels of the carriage to prevent rolled up fallen leaves from getting caught in the wheels.
The boy froze for a moment, then patted his head, "That's right!"
Seeing his innocent expression, Zhan Zhao inexplicably thought of the fourth son, smiled, got back on his horse, and continued on his way
I only heard an old voice from inside the carriage, "Thank you, my lord."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other¡ªoh? It turned out that it was not a lady, but an old man.
"Senior, you don't need to be polite." Zhan Zhao has always been well-educated and reasonable, not to mention his etiquette, he is also very easy-going After finishing speaking, he left with Bai Yutang.
While walking forward, Zao Duoduo and Bai Yunfan couldn't help but turn their heads to stare at the two horses pulling the cart, and there seemed to be some astonishment in their big eyes.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also subconsciously glanced at the horse, both feeling surprised¡ªthe two horses pulling the cart were black in body, with pointed ears and pointed mouths, and the strangest thing was that their eyes had a slightly red halo Are they bloodshot? Or are the red leaves on the side of the road reflected and dyed?
Bai Yutang glanced subconsciously at Bai Yunfan's eyes they were still pitch black, Zao Duoduo was a beautiful amber color, there was no sign of red at all.
However, after walking out of the area covered by red leaves, there was a corner. When the two turned their heads, they could no longer see the carriage.
Deliberately slowing down a bit, the two wanted to wait for the carriage to come up, but after waiting for half a day, the carriage still did not appear - did they go so slowly?
"We've arrived at Songjiang Mansion."
After walking for a while, Zhan Zhao pointed to the entrance gate ahead, and said to Bai Yutang, "Which inn should I stay at? Taibai Residence? I want to drink the pear flower white there."
Bai Yutang nodded happily - the owner of the restaurant is also familiar with him, and just inquired if there was any trouble recently.
The night also fell
Entering Songjiang Mansion This bustling night market dispelled the doubts in their hearts.??When the singing girl came up to her, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. He still smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, beauty, don't panic, your song is so good, my young master's legs are weak."
Zhan Zhao had heard that Dong Xiaodie was cynical and joked a long time ago, he was really lively, but he was quite kind if he dared to provoke Bai Yutang like this. Then again, Bai Yutang didn't get serious with him, which shows that the relationship is still good.
The old man present shook his head, as if he was no longer surprised, he stood up and saluted Bai Yutang, "Fifth Lord just laughed."
In the blink of an eye, Bai Yutang saw that it was Chen She, the old vice-leader of the He Gang, so he also cupped his hands, "Don't come here, old man."
"TOEFL TOEFL."
At this time, the white-clothed man next to the old man also raised his head and looked at this side. This man can't be said to have a good life, but his eyebrows are clean and he looks gentle and refined, like a scholar.
He asked the old man, "Uncle Chen, who is this?"
"Oh, young master, this is the fifth master of Xingkong Island, Chinchilla Bai Yutang, and that is Nan Xia Zhan Zhao."
"Oh" As soon as the young master heard the introduction, he quickly stood up and saluted the two of them, "You two are very famous, Xiaosheng is really lucky to have three lives, you don't dislike them, I'll go over and offer you a toast."
Chen She hurriedly introduced, "You two, our young master, Lei Qinglang."
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's eyelids twitched subconsciously¡ª¡ªLei Qinglang, the young master of the He Gang? ! Isn't that the son of Old River King Lei Wantong's family? This Lei Wantong is known as the King of Lei, he is arrogant and savage, how could he give birth to a talented son?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang pondered for a while, are there any people from the Jianghu who call themselves Xiaosheng? Comparing this gentle scholar with his father's three-hundred-pound body with a catfish head Both of them felt very unkind. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
