Chapter 116：

The breath woke her up; when she turned her head, she saw Ling Budo's black armor, like rust and blood clots, dark red and sinking.

Ling Budo didn't care about the blood stains on her body, and skillfully ordered the aftermath, resettled the dead and wounded, and gathered the vehicles, horses and weapons... Of course, the most important thing was to decide where to go next. Since Comrade Lao Wan was in a coma, Cheng Song and others took Ling Buxuan as their leader, and went back to the inn for a temporary rest at his order.

While everyone was rectifying, Ling Budo took the time to write a letter on the back of the guard, and after the capsule was sealed with paint, Liang Qiu quickly sent it out.

"What did you write?" Shaoxing asked.

Ling Budoubt said: "Remind Your Majesty to send someone to protect Huang Wen, don't let him have an accident."

"Ah." Shaoshang hadn't slept all night, feeling that his brain was dull.

Ling Budo was unwilling to be too far away from Shaoshang, and always took her hand to walk between the convoys. When he was about to get on the horse, Ling Budo looked at the blue eyes of the girl, and his heart softened: "You haven't slept all night, and you were frightened again. Go to the car to rest." His tone was soft but firm, and he waved to him. The men drove the carriage.

Cheng Shaogong slandered on the side, first, everyone didn't sleep all night, second, the younger sister was never frightened.

"...Zifu, what do you think?" Ling Budo looked at Cheng Song.

Cheng Song naturally disapproved, and took Wan Qiqi into the carriage, so his good third brother Cheng Shaogong couldn't stay in the car, so he had to raise his face On the reins, the delicate flower turns into a plastic flower.

For fear of rebirth accident, everyone hurried for half a day after a full meal. When they finally left the mountain road in the evening, Shaoshang rubbed his eyes and found another group of thirty or forty people. People set up camp at the exit of the road, and buried pots to make rice.

Baked fish.

Seeing Ling Budo and the others, they cheered one after another, and a handsome young man dressed as a Confucian came running in the lead. Get up: "Ban Xiaohou? Why are you here!"

Ban Xiaohou seemed to have a weak temperament, seeing Ling Budo as if he had the backbone, he cried and wiped his tears: "Lord Ling... Brother Zisheng, why did you come back, if those gangsters come again But what to do, it scares me to death! My uncle... uncle, he hasn't woken up yet! How can this be good..."

Ling Budo answered patiently one by one: "Since those people didn't want your life, they wouldn't come to you again. I ordered my uncle to take the medicine, and he would have been lethargic for a day and a night. In my opinion, it will take a while for my uncle to wake up."

Ban Xiaohou wiped his tears: "Oh, that's good, that's good..."

At this time, a steward-like person next to him reminded in a low voice: "Sir, Master Ling and everyone seem to be very tired. We have prepared the tents and dishes. Why don't you..."

Ban Xiaohou woke up like a dream, and repeatedly invited everyone to enter the tent and have a rest.

Walking into the wide round tent, Liang Qiuqi was going to remove Ling Budo's armor, but Ling Budo turned slightly sideways and looked at Shaoshang, Liang Qiuqi immediately understood what he meant , stood quietly by the side. Shao Shang was about to pull Wan Eqi to find a place to change his clothes, and when he met Ling Budo's gaze, he immediately stepped forward to loosen his armor for him. The heavy iron belt, the shoulder pads cast like a tiger's roar, the breastplate inlaid with delicate obsidian, and the belly leather, arm pads, knee pads... Liang Qiuqi stood aside and took them one by one.

Wan Qiqi was inexplicably unhappy when she saw this scene. She had a feeling of being bullied by a school bully. Yawning and beating his poor back, he pretended he didn't see it.

When he loosened Ling Budo's wrist guard, Shao Shang found that his left wrist was tied with a few thin hard wires around the cuff. She couldn't tell the material when she touched it. Could it be a hidden weapon. When she was about to touch the thread again, Ling Budo suddenly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and said softly to the girl, "I just asked someone to bring a carload of mountain springs, and now I think it's already boiled and warm, You go wash up, don't worry, take your time."

Cheng Song didn't have time to worry about it, but pushed Wan Eqi to Shaoshang's side and asked her to take a bath with her.

After soaking in the hot bath, the two girls were refreshed, as if reincarnated, Wan Eqi even felt that she had misunderstood the school bully. When the two women stepped into the big round tent again, Ling Budo and the Cheng brothers had also changed their robes, cleaned their hands and face, and Ban Xiaohou Zhengyinqian greeted everyone to take their seats.

Cheng Song raised his glass: "Lord Ling, we thank you in advance for saving your life." After that, he doubled the wine and drank it all.

Cheng Shaogong and Wan Qiqi did the same, when it was Shaoshang’s turn to finish it, Ling Budo took the wine away from her hand, and only one sip was left before returning it to her . Shao Shang faced everyone's different eyes, laughed twice, raised his neck and drank the wine, and then said "Thank you, Lord Ling".

Everyone sighed inwardly to show their contempt.

The people were eating and talking, Ling Budo smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you have to thank Ban Xiaohou. If they hadn't been attacked, I wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly."

Ban Xiaohou's wooden chopstick shook, and the fried fish fell on the food table, his eyes were red, and he almost cried again.

The emperor often sighed that Ling Budoubt was pitiful. He was the only remaining bloodline of the Huo family. Xiao Hou. To say that Mr. Ban Laohou is also an old and strong hero. His family was destroyed by the previous emperor, and his children died, but he left five grandchildren who were brave and brave and fearless.

However, it can't be stopped when people walk on their backs. After a few years of war, Ban's five tigers and four were killed and one disabled. Unlucky things can happen to his family. The most terrible thing is that except for Ban Xiaohou's father, the rest of the grandsons who died early did not leave any heirs, and the one who survived seemed to be injured at the vital point, so far he has no wife and no children.

Therefore, Ban Xiaohou, the only one left, is regarded as a treasure. It is said that Ban Jia never left the house before he was ten years old. Now he is fifteen years old. The way is not well known.

Do some paperwork, check the disability, organize logistics, allocate food and grass... Ban Xiaohou actually did it very neatly.

However, Mr. Ban had a nightmare a few days ago. Suspecting that something had happened to his great-grandson, he sent Uncle Ban to visit Ban Jia. At first sight, nothing changed. It is not easy to keep idle people in the military camp, so Ban Jia personally sent his uncle back the day before yesterday. On the way to see each other, they encountered a strange group of robbers.

While the fight was in full swing, Uncle Ban saw that his nephew was scared out of his mind, and when he was angry, he got out of the car with a cane and killed the enemy. Who knew that the two leading robbers saw Uncle Ban, and they retreated like a storm in no time. It was cleaned up, leaving behind a mess of corpses and wounded people, plus Uncle Ban, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and Ban Xiaohou, who was sitting on the ground and choking.

After crying, Ban Xiaohou hurriedly called someone to find the nearest army, and the Ban House guards rushed away. Just after the casualties were settled, Ling Budo escorted Ban Shi and his party slowly back when they bumped into his own guard who came to ask for help.

—This is also the luck of Shaoshang and others. If he rushes from the forest to Ling Wuxuan's station, it will take at least a day, and when he comes back, he doesn't know how long it will take.

"The Ban family also encountered robbers?" Wan Eqi looked puzzled, "How many robbers are there?"

The three brothers and sisters of the Cheng family did not speak, and looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Ling Budo indifferently said: "Ban Xiaohou's journey is exactly the official road you were going to take."

The Cheng brothers and sisters all let out a light voice, if it was clear.

The room was quiet, and after a while, Shao Shang asked softly, "...Don't you have to serve in Cui Houjun?"

Ling Budo smiled and said: "A few days ago, the main force of the rebels has been defeated, and Peng Ni's vassals are coming down one after another. Uncle Cui now sees a few people who cry bitterly every day to plead guilty. Spring City Wall, Peng Ni has nothing left."

Cheng Shaogong shook his head and said: "I heard from my father that the Shouchun city wall is strong, and it is inappropriate to attack by force."

Cheng Song agreed: "Now Peng Li is swaying in the wind and rain, like a ripe fruit on the branch, just before the ground, why should I use my shortness to attack the enemy's longness, and cause many casualties in vain."

Ban Xiaohou said: "The two brothers Cheng have a good opinion, and Cui Hou also said the same, and now he is planning to 'subdue the soldiers without fighting', just to suppress the blood of a few The brother who is waiting for the battle is a little bit laborious."

Wan Eqi interjected: "Don't be honest if you haven't made a contribution yet."

"Qiqi, don't guess what others mean." Cheng Song whispered to stop his fiancée. In fact, he thought so too, but this was not at home.

Shao Shang diverted the topic: "What's 'defeat without fighting'. Do you want to ask the people in Shouchun City to take Peng Ni's head and present it on their own? I heard that the former dynasty Several rebel leaders died not at the hands of their opponents, but at the hands of their own family members."

Ling Budo gave her a slight smile, a default.

Full of wine and food, Ling Budo suggested that everyone visit Uncle Ban who was in a coma. He said: "You will know when you have seen it."

In the tent next door, Uncle Ban was still in a coma on the soft collapse, and his body was covered with blood-stained bandages. A sound - Uncle Ban's stature is very similar to Wan Songbai, both of them are of medium height and have a round general belly, but Uncle Ban has a white face and no beard, which is completely different from Wan Songbai's face.

On the starry night, everyone walked back to the big round tent and sat down. Cheng Shaogong took the lead: "This matter is for Uncle Wan."

Cheng Song nodded: "I asked Ah Fu yesterday, and he said that my uncle had been attacked twice by assassins last month, and they all claimed that the remnants of the previous dynasty wanted to avenge the emperor and came here to assassinate him. Your Majesty's official of the frontier. Because this kind of thing has happened elsewhere before, so my uncle didn't take it to heart. Now it seems..."

"Now it seems that it is for my father!" Wan Eqi added.

Shao Shang suddenly let out a sigh, everyone went to see her, she went to see Ling Budo, and woke up like a dream: "So you wrote this morning to ask His Majesty to protect Huang Yushi?"

Ling Budo smiled, everyone was puzzled. He patiently said: "This morning, I ordered the corpses of the thieves to be inspected, and found that they were not ordinary robbers, but a collection of well-trained remnants."

Seeing that the Cheng brothers and sisters and Wan Eqi still didn't understand, Ban Xiaohou said timidly: "I heard from my great-grandfather that there have been many disasters in the past few years. Where is it, not everyone is willing to get rid of the army and return to the field. If the grass is a pirate, it will inevitably be wiped out by the imperial army and recruited. Therefore, many of them who are highly skilled in martial arts and unwilling to be ordinary have wandered into the rivers and lakes and become hired 'rangers'. "

"Can this also be called 'Ranger'?" Cheng Song was young and had some longing for the life of a ranger.

"It's also a ranger." Ling Budo said, "Han Feiziyun, Confucianism uses literature to violate the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban. Although this is biased, it is not useless. The world is bright and the people live and work in peace and contentment. , what do you have to do with rangers. Young children are full of enthusiasm, roaming around the world, gaining knowledge, making friends, this kind of 'rangers' is not harmful. However, some 'rangers' want wealth and wealth, and naturally do it in secret something illegal."

"In other words, someone paid to hire these people to kill my father?" Wan Eqi finally understood.

"What's the matter with Huang Yushi?" Cheng Shaogong asked.

So that person secretly asked Huang Yushi to read Uncle's book, can't Uncle go back to the capital for trial? How many people can Uncle take on the road, wouldn't it be much easier to start!"

"Isn't it because Huang Wen secretly murdered my grandfather?!" Wan Qiqi said angrily, "I will not let this traitor go!"

"Whether Huang Yushi was deceived into participating in his uncle, or secretly framed his uncle, in short, he can't be killed! Only alive can he be slowly interrogated!" Shao Shang reassured his close friend.

The Cheng brothers and Ban Jia suddenly realized, secretly admiring Ling Budo for thinking so fast, just rescued Wan Songbai and his party this morning, and immediately thought of leaving Huang Wen for questioning.

"Then why don't you start with those robbers? You can also ask who is behind the scenes." Cheng Shaogong asked again.

Shao Shang frowned and said: "This kind of business is going to take a long time, and naturally you can't make a living like a vegetable vendor's pavement. Except for the thief in the lead, I am afraid that the rest of the people don't know the details." So many martial arts books She is not in vain.

"Then arrest the thief in the lead!" Wan Eqi was furious.

The corners of Ling Budo's mouth curved slightly, and he said sarcastically: "Where to catch them? They gather for profit, they disperse because of their potential, sneak into the mountains and hide in the market... Really want to catch, not a day. If it can be done, it’s better to ask Huang Yushi faster.”

Speaking of this, everyone said yes.

Before leaving the tent, Shaoshang suddenly said: "If you can hire such a powerful thief, the people behind the scenes are also extraordinary. But why do you have to kill Uncle Wan?"

Ling Budo took her little hand and said with a smile, "This is also a way. When the Prefect Wan wakes up, you can ask him who offended him."

Only then did Shao Shang discover that everyone, including Wan Eqi, was intent on going back to the capital to extort a confession from Huang Wen—these guys without the spirit of criminal investigation! She complained in her heart, and threw Ling Budo's hand heavily, who knew that it seemed to involve his injury, Ling Budo let out a small hiss, stroked her shoulder with her right hand, frowning in pain.

Shao Shang said nervously: "Are you injured?"

Ling Budo lowered her thick eyelashes and gave a low hum.

"You haven't stopped for a day and a night, the wound must be cracked again, let's go, let's go to your tent, I'll wrap it up for you." Shaoshang felt distressed.

Ling Budoubt smiled brightly, took the girl's hand and left.

After taking a few steps, Shao Shang stopped and turned around and said, "Third brother, why are you following me?"

Cheng Shaogong, who silently followed behind the two, raised his head and sighed, "Actually, I am also very concerned about Master Ling's injury, so I just wanted to go and have a look."

"Third brother, you are confused!" Shao Shang was incredulous, "I'm still drunk, hurry up and go to bed!"

Ling Budo looked at Cheng Shaogong, raised her eyebrows slightly, her breath was indifferent and unpleasant.

Cheng Shaogong cried ten thousand times in his heart and he didn't want to.

—If Cheng Song’s job on this trip was to **** Wan Eqi to find her father, then her mother drove herself out of the capital just to watch her younger sister. Now the night is like water, the mountains are quiet, and there are lonely men and widows. Living together in the same tent... If he does nothing at all, Mrs. Xiao will definitely rip off his skin when he returns!

Shaoshang turned his head, looked at Cheng Shaogong's face again, and understood a little, and said displeasedly: "Third brother, you should trust Master Ling! Over the years, have you ever heard of it? He spread the word about men and women!"

Cheng Shaogong sighed again: "You think I don't trust you."

"You...!" Shao Shang was furious - facing such a beautiful, fit, wide-backed and long-legged fiancé, she is so guarded, yet there are still people slandering her!

Ling Budo couldn't help laughing, secretly laughing that this is really a pair of treasures. "Raise the curtain." He turned his head and instructed Liang Qiuqi, then took the little fiancee who was still stomping her feet angrily back to the account.

Cheng Shaogong also breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped in a white fox fur and sat at the door of Cheng Song's tent, looking over here.

Ling Budo sat on the ponytail, Shaoshang stood behind him, slowly loosening the placket of his shirt, and sure enough he saw a **** bandage on his shoulders, and after carefully undoing it, he found that it was A cracked arrow wound, a dark red coagulated fragmentation wound, caused shocking damage on the young man's perfect white and robust body.

She said distressedly: "Didn't you say that this war is not a big deal, why did you fight so hard!"

Ling Budo reassured: "When the swordsman thing comes together, there will be no big or small matter. Neglecting and neglecting will lead to a big disaster."

At the injury, she felt her heart skip a beat, as if her heart had been crushed by tweezers.

Ling Budo likes to see her gentle and pitiful look the most, even after being slapped by the emperor. Heartbroken look. Thinking about it, it's not normal for me to be like this.

"I've been really unhappy these few days, so I left Uncle Cui's side and led the troops to sway outside." Ling Buzhu suddenly said, "Now that I see you, I feel much better. ."

Short business asks why.

"Didn't I say before that the remnants of the Huo family's old genus have eyes. I sent two groups of people to look for them, and one group of people has come back. It turned out to be a scam. That person was just a In the name of Toho's loyal and martyrdom, he cheated to eat and drink in the local countryside."

Shao Shang was sad: "What about the other group of people."

"No news yet."

Ling Budo pressed the small hand on his shoulder, and said in disappointment: "You say, all the subordinates who fought with my uncle back then really died. I have been looking for them for so many years, last year. There are only a few eyebrows, and now half of the hope is lost."

Shao Shang said in a low voice: "Even if the body is destroyed, it should be the heroic spirit without regrets, and the heroic spirit will last forever."

Ling Budo murmured, "I really don't want to be the only survivor of the Huo family in this world."

Shao Shang said: "How difficult is this, when you give birth to many children, the Huo family will not be the only one left in the world."

Ling Budo laughed, turned to look at the girl, and sighed, "However, having children is not easy, I'm afraid..."

On me!"

Ling Budo's eyes widened in delight for a while, then sighed again: "I wish I could do everything for you, if only I could do it for you."

This said, Shao Shang was full of sweetness, bandaged the wound, and volunteered to clean up the armor for Ling Budo. You must know that armor, weapons and horses are the three most important things for a soldier. She has been with Ling Budo for a long time, and knows that he has always done his own work in maintaining armor, weapons and horses. Now that he is injured, how can she be willing to let him do it.

Let Ling Budo sit aside, she held the heavy black iron armor, carefully washed the blood on it with warm water one by one, wiped and rubbed with a dry cloth repeatedly, and then applied a thin layer of oil. Knead light...

Opposite the tent entrance, Cheng Song and Wan Qiqi stood up behind Cheng Shao Gong.

"Do you feel a little uncomfortable?" Wan Eqi said.

Cheng Song nodded: "Look at the little sister, she is like a kitten in front of Ling Budo. At first, my mother was worried that the little sister would bully my husband, and our father and brother will come to the door in the future. I'm sorry, now look at it...what's this all about!"

"Oh, for the first time, I felt that your mother's words made sense. It's better to find an honest and gentle husband-in-law. Only the young merchants bully others, and no one can bully her, that's great! Now you look at me and her, she is firmly held in the palm of the hand by the surnamed Ling, and she even counts the money when she sells it!"

"At home, Yao Yao didn't even wash a handkerchief by herself, but now she has to wash Ling Budo's armor!"

"...However, I can't say that Ling is not good at all. The horses he sent back are really rare!"

"Ah, yes. Grandma fell ill when she was giving birth to Xiaozhu, but he paid attention to it and specially invited the doctor in the palace to come to the house to treat Grandma. And Grandpa's back The wounds on my face, the tiger bone paste given by the royal family, have not been broken in these days."

"It's just that people are a little bit more powerful, and they are not allowed to refute others."

"It's not very considerate, and it's so late that you won't let you go to rest, how tired, you have to hurry tomorrow morning!"

"I said you two are almost there!"

Cheng Shaogong couldn't bear it any longer, and turned around to complain, "Yiqi slept in the carriage for a day today, one day! Sister Qiqi got off the carriage at noon and rode, but she slept for a full day! How tired is she, you can't even put her to sleep now! And she will probably be able to sleep on the carriage tomorrow! Ling Budo is the one who is tired, those of us on horses!"

Cheng Song slapped her mouth, Wan Eqi twisted her fingers, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

“…Why are you so mean, third brother.”

"Can't you be more lenient, no wonder no little girl likes you so far!"

"I think you're a bachelor!"

"Exactly!"

Afterwards, the couple went back to their tents to rest. Cheng Shaogong was cold and sleepy, and suffered a personal attack, but the man and woman on the opposite side had no plans to separate. , he finally couldn't help wanting to hear what they were talking about - he went around the two tents from behind, took the side road and slowly approached, Cheng Shaogong stood beside him, pricked up his ears to listen.

"...Why don't you talk and keep looking at me, am I getting too much oil?" Shaoshang said.

"It's not much, you can learn it as soon as you learn it and do it in a decent way."

"Then what are you thinking?"

“…I was thinking of you.”

The girl laughed dryly: "But I'm right by your side."

"I still miss you."

Cheng Shaogong could not listen to Mu Shaoai before she arrived.

He took a few steps away, took out three hexagram coins and a small old turtle shell from his sleeve, slid the money into the shell, prayed three times to the sky, and planned to make a divination The marriage went well. Shaking the tortoise shell and dumping it down, the shiny golden hexagram money fell to the ground along an arc, Cheng Shaogong happily squatted down to look at it, and then... was dumbfounded.

The three hexagram coins are inserted into the soil, and they are vertically shaped.

What does this mean? Cheng Shaogong suddenly felt that he was ignorant, and he didn't know how to do this.
