Xiao Luolan was wondering, does she count as a human being to others in the dream? But others couldn't see her, so Xiao Luolan struggled for a moment and said, "I don't know either, just think of me as a human being."
Zhou Xu reached out his hand and touched the skirt of the girl in white that was blown up by the wind. His palm went directly through it, and he calmly retracted his hand.
Xiao Luolan continued to walk forward.
The young man followed her.
Xiao Luolan turned around helplessly: "Why are you following me?"
"Where are you from?" Zhou Xu asked.
"A very far away place." Xiao Luolan chatted with the curious young man for a few words, and then said: "It's so late, you should go home quickly."
"What about you?" Zhou Xu asked again.
"I'll go back later." Xiao Luolan said.
Zhou Xu thought of a story. If no one finds out, the deceased will still think that they are still alive in this world. They miss the fireworks in the world and think that they are still alive.
Since he is not a god and still firmly believes that he is a human being, he can only be a ghost. Zhou Xu found that he could not feel any fear and continued to follow the girl in the white dress. Maybe he was confused by the ghost and wanted to keep following her. She, Zhou Xu thought of this and her steps remained unchanged.
Xiao Luolan walked along the stream for a while, and the boy was still following her, so she could only stop and sit on a stone to rest.
"What's your name?" Zhou Xu asked, thinking that it would be better to go back and light a bright lamp for this girl in the temple than to wander around. Nowadays, there are many wars, and the ghost world must also be in chaos.
Xiao Luolan listened to the boy's questions from time to time and found that she had not woken up after walking for a while. She suppressed her disappointment and then said warmly: "Aren't your family worried because you have been out for so long?"
Zhou Xu took off his knife and handed it to the girl. He said concisely: "I have a knife." Then he said: "I am very strong."
Xiao Luolan looked at the dark pattern on the scabbard, the strip of cloth wrapped around the handle, and the young man's hand holding the knife. He held the knife in his backhand, with the blade facing towards him, as if he wanted her to believe what he said.
"Okay." Xiao Luolan patted the stone and said, "Would you like to sit down and rest for a while."
Zhou Xu sat cross-legged with a big knife on his knees.
"You haven't told me your name yet."
When Xiao Luolan saw him asking, she said her name. Unexpectedly, she couldn't pronounce the words. This happened several times, so she had to panic and say: "I forgot."
When she wakes up, she will probably forget this dream.
Zhou Xu touched the pattern on the scabbard. The young man's palms were covered with calluses from martial arts training. Hearing this answer, he felt a little regretful.
"What's your name?" Xiao Luolan asked.
The thirteen-year-old boy showed a smile, and his ordinary eyebrows suddenly became extra public. He said to the girl: "Zhou Xu, my name is Zhou Xu."
Xiao Luolan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"What did you want to do when you were standing under the banyan tree earlier?" Zhou Xu continued to ask his own question.
"I heard your voice when I opened my eyes, so I wanted to see what you were doing?" Xiao Luolan felt that this young man named Zhou Xu didn't look like an ordinary child. His dark eyes were scary when staring at people.
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "Cai Zhi is not as powerful as me. I should be the first ranger in the North."
"I will join the army and go to war in two years. With this title, I can rise higher in the army." Zhou Xu said, looking at the confused ghost girl.
Xiao Luolan was shocked. This boy is not yet an adult, is he going to join the army? Seeing that the young man was serious, she thought about it and blessed him: "Then I wish you can become a general."
Zhou Xu jumped off the stone and stood opposite the girl in the white dress. He folded his arms and held a knife. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "As a general, I naturally want to be the best general in the world."
"Yes, yes, General." Xiao Luolan said jokingly.
"So it doesn't matter if you can't remember your own name, just remember my name." Zhou Xu raised his chin and said to the female ghost sitting tenderly on the rock.
"Sooner or later, I, Zhou Xu, will become famous all over the world."
"If you are bullied one day, come to me."
Xiao Luolan thought this young man was a little cute, so she curved her lips and smiled.
When she woke up, Xiao Luolan tried her best to recall the contents of her dream, but found nothing.
Thinking that my daughter's chariot race was about to begin, I hurried out.
Chapter 240
The carriage was full of gold and silver when he arrived, but when he left empty-handed, Liu Pu plucked his ears impatiently. He and his sister rode a horse together, followed by the Guo family father and son on horseback. Both of them looked haggard. When they came out of the prison, they were captured again by Zhou Thief. They were chased out of Guangling like a dog chasing a bereaved family. More importantly, all their family property was confiscated. The father and son were filled with sadness and burst into tears in unison.
Liu Pu was upset after hearing this, and kept touching the fine fabric robe he was wearing to ignore the crying behind him.
Liu Ya frowned and felt two annoying flies buzzing in her ears. She reined in the reins and said coldly: "Cry, cry, cry, just cry."
Liu Pu ignored the cry that suddenly stopped behind him and said: "Mei, you and I have been tracking for several months and we were about to catch Ge Shenxian. Unfortunately, he escaped to the boundary of Guangling. Now he must be Zhou Youzhou's guest. It’s a pity it’s too late.”
"It's like tonight." Liu Pu sighed and touched A-mei's hair again: "But don't worry, I will definitely find an opportunity to catch her and kill her to death."
The blind girl said bitterly: "Anyone who can take in a person like Ge Shenxian is not a good person. If Zhou Manzi joins forces with him, he will only bring about his own destruction. In the end, he will definitely be defeated by the Duke of the country, and my brother will not use it either." I’m so impatient, we’ve been waiting for this for so many years anyway.”
The brother and sister walked slowly. They were not allowed to stay in Guangling City. Gao Chongying, who was escorting or monitoring them, was watching them not far away.
Liu Pu felt a little helpless. He wanted to find Xun Langjun lurking in Guangling, so he could only ride slowly and adapt to circumstances.
Liu Pu found that although Guangling City was occupied, there was no sense of war and chaos in the city. The prosperity was still there, but the guards patrolling the streets had been changed.
When leaving Guangling City, you must pass Guangling Avenue. This avenue named after the city has always been the main road leading to the inner and outer cities. Liu Pu's carriage passed by that avenue when he came from there, and it was the same when he returned. He saw that the avenue was extremely busy. Many people went to the outer city with friends and company, and there were more and more stalls selling food on the roadside. Liu Pu spent a few pennies to buy some snacks and handed them to her sister, and followed the flow of people out.
When they arrived near Dayanji, Liu Pu watched the excitement for a while and said to his sister: "There is a chariot race ahead." The two parties were ready. As a ranger, Liu Pu was very interested in this kind of battle scene. Not to mention that he also met an acquaintance. There were not many rangers in the south of the Yangtze River. One was Chen Fu, and the other was him. Chen Fu was older than him and famous earlier. His eldest brother was a high official in Chang'an. How could a ranger like him compare? So he surrendered to the Duke of Guo, and only then did he get a second look.
Liu Pu showed a cynical smile. After dismounting, he hugged Amei and came down. He spent some money and chose a high place to watch. He looked at the chariot convoy headed by Chen Fu and actually found Xun in the team. He said that he had already learned about Xun Yan's appearance through the portrait. Liu Pu's smile gradually deepened, and it could be seen that this man had a good reputation in Guangling and formed a team with Chen Fu and the others.
Maybe one day, a small person like Xun Yan can do something big, Liu Pu thought.
"Why don't you leave?" Gao Chongying saw them lingering and walked over and asked dissatisfied.
"The prince only said that we were not allowed to stay overnight, but he did not say that we should leave the city immediately. My sister likes the excitement, so I let her experience it more." Liu Pu said.
At this moment, Guo Bi said: "My son is a student of Mr. Lu. I want to say goodbye to Mr. Lu before leaving. Is it possible?"
Gao Chongying said sarcastically: "Why didn't you say this when we were in Jiangdu Palace?"
Guo Bi's face turned red with anger. Guo Kui grabbed his father's hand and said, "It's easy to talk about other things, but there is only one thing that Mr. Gao would like to tell us, father and son. We will be extremely grateful."
After a prison sentence, the Guo family and his son became much more polite to others.
"I don't know, don't ask me." Gao Chongying waved his hand directly with a look of rejection, not even giving Guo Kui a chance to speak.
"Is that Zhou Youzhou and Princess in front of you?" Liu Pu pointed at the figures on the high platform in front of Dayanji and said, "I didn't expect it to be so lively today. Even they came out to watch the chariot race."
Guo Bi looked in the direction Liu Pu pointed and gritted his teeth secretly. The person on the high platform was Zhou Manzi.
"I heard that the prince's beloved daughter will participate in this chariot race." Liu Pu also heard some news from the crowd before and said with a smile: "On the opposite side are Chen Fu and others from Duke Xiao's sect. I don't know who will win. "
Gao Chongying looked at them coldly, without saying anything, he just pushed Liu Pu to walk. Liu Pu squeaked twice when he was pushed, and without seeing how he moved, he pulled his sister and got into the crowd like a fish in water. He raised his hand to Gao Chongying and said, "Master Gao, I'm so excited about the chariot. How about you just let me watch one game."
Gao Chongying walked towards the soldiers on both sides and was about to send someone to arrest them. Liu Pu had no choice but to pull Amei out.
Gao Chongying escorted the people on the road, and Guo and his son also continued on the road.
"It seems that the new princess is really favored." Liu Pu sighed as he listened to the commotion behind him: "Even a hero like Zhou Youzhou can't help but be a beauty."
Liu Ya retorted: "There are no heroes to make Shuzi famous. The world is short-sighted and ignorant, and let him be as famous as the Duke. In my opinion, it is an insult to the Duke."
Liu Ya didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned slightly red.
When Liu Pu saw his sister's condition, he sighed inwardly. He knew that his sister admired the Duke of Wei, but he said it unpleasantly. The Duke of Wei couldn't even look down on the princess, but he could look down on her since she was born in the countryside. My sister?
Gao Chongying has now surrendered to Zhou Youzhou, and General Yi did not take away his rights even when he came. Hearing this, he felt unhappy and said: "The girl's habit of speaking without restraint should be changed as soon as possible, just in case. One day my tongue will be cut, and I won’t even be able to speak anymore.”
Liu Ya's expression changed, remembering Zhou Youzhou's cutting of the angel's tongue last year.
Liu Pu's face also froze, but he also knew that Amei was rude first, so the group stopped talking and left Guangling City.
Inside the city.
Xiao Luolan looked at the chariot race under the high platform and saw her daughter at a glance. She was wearing a bright crimson round-neck robe with her hair tied up high. She didn't know what He Shiliu was talking about. Her cheeks were red, and Mo Wanxia was between them. Among the people, the three of them walked to their seats on the chariot after a while. The daughter was the driver, and it was her first time to ride such multiple horses.
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhou Shiliu and the soldiers shouted a few words, and it was obvious that their morale had been boosted.
Chen Fu said to Xun Yan: "Friendship is the main thing in this competition, we will do our best."
"Okay." Xun Yan said with a smile. He had just seen Wei Gong's envoy, but it was a pity that he had no chance to see him.
The chariot race officially begins, with two wins out of three.
Xiao Luolan watched nervously from above. Zhou Xu took a sip of tea and looked down. He was accompanied by the Lian family and Xiao Gong who were accompanying him. Everyone was watching from the high platform. Cao Heilong was at the end. He was slightly Standing straight, he was invited by Zhou Youzhou at noon.
He is now a naval general available to Zhou Youzhou, but Cao Heilong still feels that he is not worthy of being reused.
So when the first chariot race was won by Zhou Youzhou's beloved daughter Xiao Xiao Niang, Cao Heilong immediately stood up, clapped his hands and said: "Okay! It turns out that the tiger father has no dog daughter, Xiao Xiao Niang came out on top. congratulations."
Xiao Luolan suddenly heard loud cheers and looked in the direction of Cao Heilong.
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "It's still early to praise, but Qingxue did very well in the competition."
Lian Dalang and Xiao Gong also praised some, and Cao Heilong thought to himself, just because Xiao Xiao is the daughter of Zhou Youzhou, there is no way she will lose.
He guessed later that Zhou Youzhou’s daughter’s team won in the end.
After three games, it was already evening.
Xiao Qingxue wiped the sweat from her head and ran to her mother-in-law with flushed cheeks. She drank herbal tea and felt a little cooler. It was hot. It was too hot. This kind of chariot racing event in the summer was just beginning to feel... Excited and fun, but getting hot later, Zhou Shiliu smiled brightly, took Mo Wanxia's hand and praised loudly: "I can't tell you are so thin, but you still have a lot of strength in your body, not bad, not holding me back." .”
Mo Wanxia's handsome face twitched and she returned to Lian Dalang's side.
After the chariot race was over, Xiao Luolan was about to go home. Xiao Qingxue was overjoyed with the competition prize, a fake golden chariot. Zhou Shiliu also liked it very much and asked for it once. After all, he was the first person. There was also a lot of effort in this competition.
Xiao Qingxue thought for a while and handed the trophy to Shiliu: "One person for one day, return it to me tomorrow."
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but laugh. She could guess what her daughter was thinking without even thinking about it. Today was almost over, so she gave it to Sixteen and exchanged it tomorrow. The trophy would be hers for the whole day.
Saturday was speechless: "Stingy guy."
Xiao Qingxue made a face at him, and Zhou Shiliu turned her head in disgust and hugged the golden chariot happily.
"I like this." Zhou Xu looked at this scene with a smile and said to his daughter: "Tomorrow, daddy will ask the craftsman to make a set for you."
"No, I just want the one in Shiliu's hand." Xiao Qingxue quickly refused.
Xiao Luolan took the car home. In the car, her daughter told the story of the chariot race. Although she watched the whole scene, it did not prevent her from listening carefully at the moment.
