"Don't send me off, I sent you from Sanliting to Wuliting, and now it's Ten Mile Pavilion, and there's Eighteen Mile Pavilion in front of me. Do you want to follow the child to Youzhou?" Faced with my mother's reluctant farewell, Xiao Rui begged weakly and winked at his father over and over again, but old Xiao Yu was a coward.
"We will send you one more section, and Tingniang will go back when we reach the front of the eighteenth mile." Mrs. Xiao said reluctantly.
"You have said this three times. Xiao Yue, help your mother to get into the carriage and kiss her. Don't see her off. It's not a separation between life and death..."
"Bah, bah, bah... don't say unlucky words." Mrs. Xiao interrupted Xiao Rui.
Seeing that Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue didn't dare to persuade him, Xiao Rui gave up, got on his horse, and whipped his horse whip fiercely, "Don't worry, parents, no one in the world can hurt the child. Take care, I will be back in two years at most." .Xiao Yue, honor your parents well..."
"Rui'er, Rui'er, slow down... hurry up, get in the car!" Mrs. Xiao got in the car anxiously and chased after her.
Xiao Yu sighed: "Madam, stop chasing me. There's a BMW running through the snow under the child's seat, so you can't catch up. As Rui'er said, although I can't bear to part with him, the child is old and it's time to go out and have some adventures."
At this moment, Mrs. Xiao could no longer hold back, threw herself into her husband's arms, and started sobbing. The family looked at the direction Xiao Rui was leaving in Shiliting Pavilion, and stood for a long time before turning back.
Riding his horse on the official road, Xiao Rui seemed to have retrieved the memories of traveling around the world a few years ago. He felt as if the sky was high and the birds were flying. He looked back at Chang'an City, spat, and laughed and cursed: "I have been in Fancong for a long time. Here, we can return to nature, and finally there is no need for intrigues.”
In the Shibali Pavilion, there is a white horse and a swordsman in white clothes, carrying a bag and looking towards the official road of Chang'an, as if waiting for someone. Hearing the sound of horse hooves and seeing a black dot galloping in the distance, the swordsman smiled.
Call!
Xiao Rui got off his horse and asked in surprise: "Shengnan? Why are you here? Didn't grandma say you were too shy to come and see her off?"
Li Shengnan glanced at Xiao Rui shyly, then walked forward generously and threw the luggage to the other party, "That's a lie to them. If I don't lie to them, how can I change my clothes and go out? You are such a weirdo, go to Youyou The state has been appointed, and the saint has appointed you as the governor of the governor's office of Youzhou. You are not assigned, you don't even have a servant to protect you, you are riding a horse alone, what should you do if there is an accident on the way?"
Xiao Rui was moved and took Li Shengnan's hand and smiled: "Are you worried about me? It's okay, no one in this world can hurt me. Why bring so many people? They are all a burden. Hehe, I thought you really didn't Come see me off, is this a luggage for me?"
Li Shengnan rolled his eyes, took out his hand and sneered: "That's a nice thought, I'm not here to give it to you. This is not your luggage, it's mine."
"Ah? Yours? Are you also going to travel far? Where to go?" Xiao Rui asked stupidly.
Li Shengnan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xiao Rui suddenly realized, "No, no, Youzhou is thousands of miles away, a bitter cold place, what are you going to do? I don't agree!"
Hearing this, Li Shengnan felt warm in his heart, but he still rolled his eyes and said a little arrogantly: "I'm not married to you yet, so you can't control me. I'm here to be a guard for someone. Fourth-grade grandmaster You don't even have an entourage when you take office as a member of the Communist Party of China, so you won't be afraid that others will look down upon you?"
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "I'm here to serve and do things, not to show off. Besides, the Governor of Youzhou is my uncle, and the people under him are fine."
Li Shengnan just wanted to go with him and didn't care about anything else. He pointed at the baggage and said, "Take the baggage on your back and let's go."
"You really want to go?"
Li Shengnan took the lead in getting on his horse and whipping away. Xiao Rui hurriedly followed, "Hey, wait for me."
The two of them chased and quarreled all the way towards the northeast. Pedestrians on the official road looked sideways, thinking, is this eight hundred miles urgent?
When they arrived at Wuli Store, the two of them took a rest, drank horses and ate at a country inn. Xiao Rui held up the baggage and asked: "Is this your first time going out? This is all you bring? You don't even have two pieces of clothes to change, right?"
Li Shengnan blushed, "This is my first trip. In the past, I mostly went around Chang'an and returned the next day. I ran away secretly, how much can I take?"
Xiao Rui couldn't help but cover his eyes, "My aunt, this journey will take at least half a month. If I had known you were going, I would have driven a four-wheeled carriage."
Li Shengnan asked in confusion: "That's not right. You didn't bring any entourage, and I didn't see you bringing any luggage? Where are your things? Even if a man doesn't change many clothes when he goes out, he can't take nothing with him, right?"
Xiao Rui smiled and raised his right hand with a mysterious meaning, "This is a family secret. I only whisper it to my wife in the room."
You...hum, you are a scumbag, bah! If you don't say it, don't say it. It's nothing more than spending money all the way to buy new ones. Li Shengnan was so angry that he drank heavily.
Of course, Xiao Rui would not carry his luggage by himself. He had already packed it and put it into his portable storage spirit ring. If it hadn't been for this long trip, Xiao Rui would have almost forgotten that he still had a spirit ring, and there was an entire future warehouse in it. . With the daily practice of martial arts and gathering spirits, the space for unlocking the spirit rings is getting bigger and bigger, and now it can be as big as a courtyard. It's a pity that it can't be a living thing. How nice would it be if it were a paradise?
The inn in Dajian is not far from Chang'an, and there are many merchants and passersby passing by. Xiao Rui and his wife are quite eye-catching in this rural inn.
An old Taoist with three strands of beard and fairy spirit stepped in. He saw the two of them at a glance, walked up to him kindly, and said, "What a golden boy and beautiful girl, poor Taoist and polite, you two, it's convenient." Fight for a seat?"
"Master Taoist, please excuse me."
The old man ordered a glass of water and two sesame cakes, and chatted while eating.
"It's strange, how strange is the young master's appearance? You can't even see the appearance of the past life. Is there such a strange person in the world? But your future appearance is not any worse than that of the little girl with a phoenix body and a dragon head."
He originally thought he was a Taoist priest, but when he heard these words, Xiao Rui's heart suddenly thought, could this guy see something?
"Dare you ask me your name?"
"The poor Taoist Yuan Tiangang."
It's actually this big guy? Xiao Rui was in awe, raised his hands in salute and said: "It turns out that it was Yuan Shenxian in person. Junior Xiao Rui, Xiao Zangfeng, and my master Sun Zhenren once heard my master mention the name of Taoist Master. Aren't you traveling around the world to survey geography? Why are you here?" "
A disciple of Master Sun? Xiao Rui?
Yuan Tiangang asked in surprise: "Could it be that the young master is Xiao Rui, the censor of Qingtian who is famous in Chang'an and is famous all over the world?"
Xiao Rui said in shock: "Qingtian Yushi? Is my name so famous? Ahem, the people are so proud of me, it's just a false name, a false name."
Everyone carried the sedan chair. Xiao Rui paid tribute to Yuan Tiangang's later famous name, and Yuan Tiangang paid tribute to Xiao Rui's great achievements at the Yushitai of Chang'an City. As soon as the relationship became closer, the two quickly started chatting. They even called each other brothers and sisters based on their seniority in the Taoist sect. Yuan Tiangang was one generation shorter than Sun Simiao and just the same generation as Xiao Rui.
"It's unbelievable that such a great talent as Xiao Xiandi would be sent to work in Youzhou. I have heard of all your deeds a long time ago. When I came to Chang'an this time, one of them was invited by the imperial court to serve as the head of Qintian Prison, and the other was that I wanted to meet you. When I see you, my dear brother, besides, after my visits and surveys in recent months, I believe there may be a major disaster in the Central Plains this year."
Li Shengnan didn't believe it. This old Taoist priest was talking nonsense. Can you believe it? Are you so capable?
Xiao Rui asked curiously: "Senior Brother Yuan, the Tang Dynasty has stabilized and is entering a period of rest and development. Where did the great disaster come from?"
Yuan Laodao sighed: "Since the beginning of spring, there have been continuous heavy rains in the northern Hetao area, and the water level of the Yellow River has gradually risen. If there is more rain in the Henan Province this summer, the Yellow River may burst."
What? ? ? Xiao Ruixin said, wouldn't it be so small? When we plow in the spring, we focus on the riverbank sandy land. We hope that the riverbank land will produce a good harvest this year. If there is a flood, it will be over. Isn’t it all in vain?
"Senior Brother Yuan, many people still don't have enough to eat, but there must be no floods. Is there a solution to this disaster?" Xiao Rui asked nervously.
Yuan Laodao muttered: "There is no solution to the natural disaster, but the old Taoist speculates that there is a person who is responsible for the disaster, and there may be a turning point, but he has not found it yet. I thought it might be you, my dear brother, but you were sent to Youzhou. Alas, I hope I can find it during this trip to Chang'an."
Xiao Rui patted his forehead and said regretfully: "If we had met senior brother earlier, we would not have buried the treasure on the riverbank. In this way, I will write two letters. If senior brother goes to Chang'an, help me bring them to His Majesty and Da Sinong respectively. I hope Old Mother Huanghe, don’t be too angry this time.”
The two of them didn't delay any longer, took a short rest and left separately. Li Shengnan asked in confusion: "Brother Rui, we met by chance, just a few words. Why do you trust that Taoist so much? What if he is a charlatan?"
Xiao Rui lamented: "There are countless swindlers in the world, but no one dares to impersonate Yuan Tiangang. He is a truly capable master. He can count five thousand years in the palm of his hand."
"Is he so awesome?"
"Worse than that."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I forgot to ask him for a fortune teller just now. I finally met a real fortune teller." Li Shengnan slapped his thigh with regret and almost turned around to chase after him.
