Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 82 The joy of meeting on the road

In the evening of that day, Xu Beisheng galloped to Luzhou.

When the two large stone characters "Luzhou" on the city gate appeared in Beisheng's eyes, she did not feel the joy of a bird coming out of its cage. She only felt that she was a kite tied to a string, occasionally flying into the sky.

The prosperity of the capital and the tranquility outside Fengyang City were covered up, and what was in front of us was another fresh and unpretentious scene.

She sat on the horse and stared at the word "Luzhou" for a long time, feeling inexplicably panicked in her heart. She had no idea what kind of future she should have.

The conspiracy she set up for Zhao Shu and King Leping, the fetters Nanyin secretly set up for her, and the crazy and unruly Lang Zhuo...

Each one of them turned into a curse on her, forming a dark cloud in her mind, covering the sky and lingering.

Ha, Beisheng sneered, whipped up his horsewhip and ran into the city.

Let him go, there is no need to worry too much, the soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it up, but in the end it will only be a life.

No matter what others do, she will be fine with it.

I was hungry, and the arrow wound on my arm was hurting from the long journey. I ate a bowl of noodles carelessly on the roadside, and then went to a medical center to clean the wound.

After that, he slept in the inn until dawn, then asked the shopkeeper to boil water for bathing and bought clean clothes to change into.

Not wanting to worry my parents for too long, I borrowed pen and paper and wrote two letters, one to Duke Anguo and one to Eryatang.

Paying the inn boy to run the leg, if you set off early in the morning, you should be able to reach the capital before evening. Yan Mo will come to find him before tomorrow evening.

She doesn't have much money left, and if she doesn't wait for Yan Mo tomorrow, she may end up living on the street.

I originally thought that escaping the capital would be a very happy thing, but now I am alone, without any friends, and I feel a sense of being homeless.

The streets of Luzhou were very boring. She wandered around alone for a whole day and still couldn't find anything new.

But if she stayed in the inn, those annoying things would disturb her mind and make her feel worried.

I stopped in front of a stall selling beaded flowers. I picked and picked for a long time before choosing one that I liked and pinned it on my bun.

Luzhou stable (ancient government horse farm) asked the court for a batch of new saddles and bridles. Xiao Xu was the new envoy of the saddle and bridle bureau. In order to familiarize himself with government affairs as soon as possible, he came to Luzhou in person to deliver the goods this time.

Xiao Xu specially invited Liang Xuan, the official of Ma Tun in Luzhou Mangyuan, to have a meal. The two of them rode on horseback and headed to the restaurant, chatting and laughing. Only a girl picking out pearl flowers at a roadside stall caught Xiao Xu's attention.

Her exquisite figure and delicate face are the same as those of the two girls from Duke Anguo's mansion, but her clothes are a bit shabby, and her copper-brown long dress doesn't look like a wealthy lady at all.

"Miss Xu?"

Xiao Xu reined in his horse and walked a little slower, and tried to call out.

The girl immediately turned around and looked up at him. After a moment, a bright and bright smile appeared on her face: "Master Xiao, why are you also in Luzhou?"

Call him Mr. Xiao, that's right, it's her. Xiao Xu felt ecstatic in his heart. He turned to Liang Fan and said, "I have met an acquaintance. You go to the front and wait for me."

Liang Yan cupped his hands towards Xiao Xu and said, "Then let me go to the restaurant to wait for you, Sir."

"Well." Xiao Xu got off the horse and trotted to Bei Sheng, "Why are you two girls here alone?" Bei Sheng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a long story. Mr. Xiao came to Luzhou for the first time. Is there any official business?"

Xiao Xu was wearing the official uniform of the Saddle and Bridle Bureau and looked in high spirits. He was just a ninth-grade official who always wanted to look at people's glances, but he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, just to be worthy of Beisheng calling him "Master Xiao".

Xiao Xu nodded, "I delivered the goods to Luzhou the day before yesterday, and I thought I would treat my colleagues to a meal before returning to Beijing. I didn't expect to meet the second girl."

The day before yesterday was the day when the prince returned to Beijing, and the whole capital was celebrating. However, this celebration had nothing to do with Xiao Xu, and Beisheng felt a little sad in his heart.

Beisheng glanced at the subordinates following Xiao Xu warily, and whispered: "Master Xiao, can you keep my affairs in Luzhou a secret for me when I return to Beijing?"

Xiao Xu's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the second girl eloped here with someone? But in the past, I heard that she had close contacts with Prince Zhao, and now she was the only one wandering the streets. It was really not like that.

Xiao Xu turned around and asked his subordinates to wait in front, and then asked: "Second girl, are you in trouble?"

Beisheng took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to the vendor, then raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Xu's sleeve to a quiet place. With just this movement, Xiao Xu's heart skipped several beats.

Beisheng said cautiously: "I accidentally stabbed Master Lang. I was afraid that Master Lang would arrest me and question me, so I fled to Luzhou alone."

Xiao Xu felt as if a ball of cotton had been stuffed into his mind, and he couldn't understand. "The girl said, who was stabbed?"

"It's Mr. Lang..." After Bei Sheng lowered his eyes and looked up at Xiao Xu, his bright eyes were filled with longing, "Master Xiao just wants to help me this time because I have helped you. If you don’t see me, just don’t say anything when you return to Beijing.”

Xiao Xu did not ask why she stabbed Lang Zhuo, but asked with concern: "Then what are you going to do next? You can't run away for the rest of your life, right?"

Suddenly meeting an acquaintance, Beisheng became nervous. Then he saw that Xiao Xu was even more nervous than himself. He raised his sleeves and covered his mouth and chuckled, saying: "I have asked someone to tell my family about this matter. When my father Once you've settled it for me, I'll go back."

Xiao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But you are still worried about being alone here. How about I stay with you for two days and then return to Beijing together?"

Bei Sheng waved his hand quickly, "The person who will take care of me will arrive tomorrow. Master Xiao, you should hurry up and do your own thing."

Beisheng is already very grateful that he has such a heart, so how dare he harm him.

Although he held the status of the son of a princess, life in the capital was really difficult. If Lang Zhuo hated her because of her, it would be her biggest sin.

There seemed to be a halo in Xiao Xun's eyes, and he lowered his head slightly and said, "Then I will stay with you until tomorrow, and I will leave when the person who takes care of you arrives."

Beisheng was dumbfounded and didn't respond. Xiao Xun asked again: "Where do you live?"

She could only say: "Jinfu Inn over there."

"Okay, I'll go settle down the people who came with me first, and then come to find you at Jinfu Inn." Xiao Xu smiled at her and left.

She only turned her head to look at his back, which was carefree and unrestrained, not as restrained and cautious as before.

After saying a few words to the person who was traveling with him, the subordinates who were traveling with him gave him their hands and left. Xiao Xu also rode on the horse, and suddenly turned around and glanced at Bei Sheng. His bright smile was particularly bright in the sun, as if he knew that Bei Sheng was also looking at him. After nodding, he rode forward.

For some reason, Bei Sheng felt a warmth in his heart, an indescribable warmth.

After staying there for a long time, only when Xiao Xu's figure was no longer visible, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that the sky in Luzhou had become bluer.
