In the next few days, Gu Liubai was driving He Huoluo. He was alone in one carriage, and at night he also held a tent alone, and spent all his thoughts on the hatchet at hand.
He was not distracted from thinking about the Zou family at all.
Although Luang Po and Yin Shi Niang occasionally met him during the parking and resting, they should be very clear about his progress in his cultivation and did not ask him a single question, let alone teach him something new.
However, among the people who are rushing around in Yinshan, the most amazing one is Xu Qi.
From Mingbaipo to now, he has never seen Xu Qi's people.
I only knew that Chen Tu was very sure Xu Qi had been following him, and I didn’t know how he followed him, but even Hua Cangming and his subordinates did not notice it at all.
Another midnight.
There were many carriages on the side of a road more than 200 miles west of Yunzhong County.
Several bonfires were burned in the camp next to the carriage, and among them were young people sitting around them.
There are eight men and four women in total. Except for a few who look a few years older than Gu Liubai, the rest are all under the age of sixteen or seventeen to twenty.
The clothes on these people look luxurious, and they are obviously from rich families.
A large iron pot was hung on the fire, and the mutton soup cooked inside had just boiled and was bubbling.
Someone carefully took out some spices and sprinkled them into the pot.
Aside from the bonfire, there are many people who look like servants setting up camp tents.
Suddenly, several whistles came from the official road in Yunzhong County, followed by the sound of horse hooves.
Six riders rushed out of the darkness, and one of the riders who was leading the way burst into laughter from afar, "Qin Lan, Rong Xiu, you definitely didn't expect any distinguished guests I brought!"
A young man in a green brocade dress quickly stood up and shouted at the rider: "Don't rush too close, don't make the mutton soup full of dust."
"Some dust is harmless!"
The rider laughed and said that, but when he got fifty steps away, he stopped his horse and got off the horse and walked over.
This is a young man in a strong suit and erect figure. He is tall, with bright eyes and windy walking, and seems to be full of energy all over his body.
A girl following him seemed to be dusty, but she looked beautiful and charming in the darkness.
"Hua Linyi?"
The group of young people surrounding the bonfire stood up in surprise as soon as they saw her face clearly.
A girl wearing white clothes, with a plump breast and slender waist suddenly rushed up in surprise, picked up the girl, turned around, and cheered: "Are you not in Chang'an? Why did you come here?"
Hua Linyi looked tired, and she patted the girl's forehead, looked at her chest again, and said with a headache: "Rong Xiu, she is much bigger."
The girl in white with a breast enlarged breasts and thin waist pretended to be angry and said, "You little hoof, it is useless to let you go to Chang'an to read so many sage books. If you open your mouth and say something wrong, it would be better to come back and find a serious family to marry and let your husband discipline him well."
Hua Linyi smiled and then replied: "I have some urgent matters in my family. If I want to meet my brother, he will go to Yunzhong County in at most two days. I originally wanted to continue my journey tomorrow, but I didn't expect to bump into Yan Changshou in Yunzhong County. When I learned that all of you people were coming to hunt deer, I came to meet you."
The tall boy in strong clothes was Yan Changshou in her mouth. He heard this and laughed proudly again, "I don't know which talent Linyi is thinking about Chang'an. I shouted behind her for a long time before she came to her senses."
At this time, a girl in a light yellow robe saluted Hua Linyi Yingying and said softly: "Linyi, will Brother Cangming stay here?"
This girl's facial features are extremely delicate, which makes people feel that she is a stunning person on earth at first glance.
Her every move would make everyone present involuntarily attract the eyes of them.
"Zi Yan, don't always want to be Lin Yi's sister-in-law." Yan Changshou was very familiar with the girl, and he also made a casual joke, which made the jade face of this beautiful girl fluffy.
Hua Linyi smiled slightly and replied, "My brother is in charge of military affairs, so I guess he can't delay it, but if I meet him, I will definitely convey Zi Yan's longing for him."
The girl Jueli stomped her feet, stretched out a finger like a jade-like onion and pointed Yan Changshou, "You guys all know how to make fun of me. Can I bully me?"
These young people by the bonfire are all children of aristocratic families in Youzhou. Yan Changshou, who brought Hua Linyi over, his father was Yan Chihu, the fifth-rank general of Dingyuan, Jiang Ziyan, and his father was Jiang Qingyuan, the fifth-rank secretary. As for Rong Xiu, he grew up with Hua Linyi since childhood. His father was Rong Qi, the Youzhou Army, and he was also a high-ranking official under the fourth-rank.
However, these aristocratic families are of course somewhat different from the Hua family. Therefore, except for these people who are close to Hua Linyi on weekdays, the rest of the people are restrained everywhere, fearing that they will accidentally say the wrong words, which will make Hua Linyi unhappy.
However, Hua Linyi was happy. She had been in Chang'an for a long time and had missed these friends, so even though she was very tired after rushing to the road for a few days, she heard Yan Changshou say that there were so many people gathering here, so she still rushed over immediately.
Rong Xiu originally talked to Hua Linyi, but was willing to help Jiang Ziyan. She served Hua Linyi a bowl of mutton soup by the bonfire. After watching her drink, she spoke and said, "Since Brother Cangming is going to pass by, we are not in a hurry to hunt deer in the mountains. Why don't we just meet Brother Cangming and then walk into the mountains?"
Jiang Ziyan sat quietly beside the fire. Of course, she could understand Rong Xiu's meaning, but she was just following her out to see her, and was embarrassed to delay everyone's itinerary. Instead, she said seriously and softly: "Linyi said Brother Cangming has military affairs, so we should not delay him, right?"
Yan Changshou suddenly smiled and said, "Then no matter what kind of busy brother Cangming, since Lin Yi has come, we have to find a way to keep her for a while? If Lin Yi has other ideas, we will naturally accompany you and don't rush to hunt deer."
He is completely a wise man who doesn't say secret words.
For these people, hunting deer itself is just a play. Where is it important to be familiar with Hua Linyi?
Seeing the rest of the people still a little reserved, the young man wearing a green brocade dress named Qin Lan smiled at Hua Linyi and said, "Linyi, what do you think?"
After drinking a bowl of mutton soup, Hua Linyi was a little more energetic. She smiled and said, "Qin Lan, as long as it doesn't hinder the interest of you and Rong Xiu."
Rong Xiu sneered immediately, "When you are not here, people always talk about you, and it may not be necessary who will interfere with whom."
Qin Lan was not shy, and said to Rong Xiu: "Rong Xiu, if you leave Youzhou and go to Chang'an, I will not see you, and I will definitely keep you by my lips every day."
Hua Linyi smiled slightly, but with one hand, she gently slapped Rong Xiu's buttocks, "It's so good, it must be very good. If you leave Youzhou, I don't know how many young men will miss you, and think about it day and night."
Rong Xiu glared at her fiercely, "Don't do this trick. If you have a good husband in the future, I will definitely tell him all the embarrassing things you had when you were young."
Hua Linyi smiled and wanted to bicker with her, but suddenly she remembered something. Looking at Yan Changshou, who was chewing a piece of mutton, said: "On the way here, I heard that the bandits here are serious. It is a bit dangerous for you to hunt deer in the mountains at this time."
Yan Changshou swallowed the ball of mutton that could not be chewed for a while and smiled disapprovingly: "Linyi, you have been to Chang'an for a long time, and you didn't care about this kind of thing before. The bandits did not exist this year. This is like this year, and it can't be wiped out. Those pickled goods either rely on natural dangers or hide in the mountains like snakes, insects and ants. They are all bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. How dare they touch us?"
Hua Linyi also knew Yan Changshou very well. Seeing him smiling strangely, she instantly thought it clear that these people might have continued to hunt deer and hunted some bandits.
Although these people don’t care about that little military merit, how can the hunting of deer be exciting to hunt bandits?
Yan Changshou glanced at Hua Linyi and knew that she had figured it out, and immediately teased: "Linyi, you have been following the rules in Chang'an for a long time. Why would you also follow our mountains and go wild?"
Hua Linyi was quite moved and pondered: "If you decide to wait for my brother, then I will make a decision after seeing him."
Yan Changshou winked and said, "If Linyi followed us to hunt deer, wouldn't we be like a tiger? Linyi just let us see the exquisite sword techniques of Yongping Sword Academy."
"Eat your mutton." Hua Linyi didn't hate Yan Changshou at all.
Although the young talents in Chang'an are elegant, many of them are used to pretending to be hypocritical in their hearts. Although Yan Changshou is actually a shrewd person, fortunately, he is straightforward and puts everything in a clear place. He is generous and doesn't care much about it.
The most important thing is that this person is still happy to cater to everyone's ideas and do something interesting together.
For practitioners, practicing swords was originally intended to kill the enemy, but when she arrived in Chang'an, she saw that in the eyes of many powerful people, her swords and cultivation seemed to have become decorations.
Even though many young talents have reached the fifth level, they have never experienced real fighting.
She despises those people very much.
Compared with Chang'an, Youzhou has unique conditions, there are not so many rules and regulations, nor are there shortage of bandits. Yan Changshou said he wanted to see her sword skills, and invisibly reminded her that perhaps after returning to Chang'an, he could instigate like-minded people to occasionally return to Youzhou to "hunting deer".
Isn't this much more interesting than those boring poetry shows?
