Visit Yingzhou

The atmosphere in Chaojing is still very solemn, and it has not completely emerged from the funeral of King Qingping.

Lu Lianzhi, carrying the few pieces of luggage they had, walked around with Qi Zhengge on the streets hung with plain white crossing soul lamps.

Everyone in Chaojing consciously wears many restrictions, prohibiting selling alcohol, singing songs, and dancing. Although the many clauses are not expressly stated, everyone in Chaojing also tacitly abides by them silently, and no longer deliberately Go for a wild ride.

In such a situation, although there is still a steady stream of hidden work in those golden caves in Hualiu Lane, they are still closed in the end.Lu Lianzhi walked away for a while, and even many restaurants in the city were closed.

"How much money is there in the tavern now?" At the last tavern at the end of the long street, the old man locked the door, behind him were a few donkeys carrying luggage, and the old woman who led the donkey was holding a baby. Lu Lianzhi said: "Go home and plant a field for a year or so."

As he said that, the little donkey carried the luggage and walked away outside the city. The little doll in the old woman's arms waved at Lu Lianzhi.

"Hey." Lu Lianzhi let out a soft sigh after putting down her hands: "I'm worried."

Usually, when she is alone, if she encounters such a situation with nowhere to stay, she will first find a friend, and she can't make do with it.But right now she doesn't want to live in someone else's house, if she is alone, she can find a haystack to spend the night at will, but she can bear it, Qi Zhengge may not be able to bear it.

Lu Lianzhi knocked on her heels and knocked off some of the grass mud on the soles of her boots. Could it be that she still wanted to go back to Chongming?

Seeing Lu Lianzhi's hesitant look, Qi Zhengge couldn't help but smiled slightly: "In Chaojing City, Qingping's kindness is more profound, and naturally the crowd will mourn more, but if they go out of Chaojing, the rules will be less."

"Then let's go out of the city?" Lu Lianzhi walked slowly in doubt: "But Chongming..."

Qi Zhengge smiled, sighed and shook his head, poked Lu Lianzhi's palm: "The outskirts of the city."

Lu Lianzhi blushed a little when Qi Zhengge shook her head and sighed: "Hey, I'm not stupid. It's in the suburbs, I know."

"Mmm, um." Qi Zhengge nodded absently, smiling unabated.

Seeing her like this, Lu Lianzhi was unavoidably annoyed, but when she thought about it again, she was delighted.

Qi Zhengge is not always expressionless, always calm and steady.Lu Lianzhi understands this more and more day by day, Qi Zhengge's temperament is sometimes very naughty.

This side, no one can see, only I know.Lu Lianzhi thought about it, and didn't care about Qi Zhengge's laughing at her anymore, and the two walked out of the city side by side.

Now that the minor cold has passed, the weather is very tense. It seems that there will be a snowfall at some time, and even the wind is as solemn as icy air.

On the way out of the city, Lu Lianzhi and Qi Zhengge did not rely on their horses' strength, but walked along the road in the middle of the capital to the suburbs.Although there is not much scenery along the way, it can still be regarded as a pleasant leisure time.

But when they got outside the city gate, people couldn't help wandering around on the road. The two took a small ox cart and went to the outskirts of the city.

The outskirts of the city were indeed better than Chaojing, and the quiet atmosphere was no longer so strong. The two walked all the way to the edge of the official road, found a very bright inn and settled down.

This inn is located on the outskirts of the city, and it is connected to a large piece of land, which can be called a small village.After Qi Zhengge finished packing, he tied the purse, and called to Lu Lianzhi, who was watching the scenery outside the carved window, softly, "Let's go, Lu Lianzhi."

"Look outside, there are still ponies." Lu Lianzhi pointed to the thing that was whizzing by outside the window, but didn't move, only smiled and said to Qi Zhengge.

"Outside is our family's horse farm." A girl who was counting money strings in the cabinet heard the words, and said without looking up: "The feet are all first-class, so it's easy to send letters and pull people. If you two are interested, I can take it to pick it up."

Lu Lianzhi looked at the wild horses in the distance that were full of energy and kept running and jumping, and replied thoughtfully: "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she let go of the hand holding the window rail, patted the dirt on her fingertips, and walked in with Qi Zhengge.

"Isn't this kind of inn very expensive?" Lu Lian watched Qi Zhengge push open the high door in the corridor with palpitations.

"I really rarely live in this kind of store." Lu Lianzhi put down her belongings and smiled.She pushed open the window, half of her body leaned out of the window, and in Qi Zhengge's eyes, she was only one step away from falling out.Even so, Lu Lianzhi's faint voice fluttering in the wind outside the window came in intermittently, "The sun is going down, it's already evening, are you hungry?"

Outside the window is a piece of golden glow on the ground, the sky is clear and light, mixed with a little bit of light black color, transitioning to the horizon layer by layer, turning into a golden red color.

Lu Lianzhi's mood was bright and clear, all kinds of things here were full of troubles, and it seemed that the tide was flowing over the coral reef, colorful and moist.

After all, she is a teenager with an unstable temperament. Once she is happy, she will jump out uncontrollably, and her movements will open and close.

Lu Lianzhi didn't wait for Qi Zhengge to answer whether she was hungry or not, so she shrank back with a smile and walked out of the room like a gust of wind: "I think you're hungry too, please sit down for a while, I'll go to the store to get some food..."

The next few words were hard to hear. Qi Zhengge watched Lu Lianzhi go out like a gust of wind with the open door, and was amazed at Lu Lianzhi's quick movements. Then he smiled and shook his head: "This man ..."

She put down the small package in her hand, got up, walked to the door, closed it, and glanced out the window.

It's impossible not to be excited.

All kinds of incidents have temporarily subsided, and all kinds of world situations are slowly emerging in front of us. This feeling of the vastness of the sea and the lingering hope is a novelty that Qi Zhengge seldom experienced before.

She could clearly feel the palpitations, which filled every inch of her heart very real and intensely during this day.

Qi Zhengge rubbed his fingertips lightly and played with the medicine bottle taken out of the package in his hand, just as he was lost in thought, Lu Lianzhi was swept back like the wind again.

"Okay, I'll have something to eat later." With a pot of coals in her hand, she put it by the small stove when she entered the door, walked quickly towards Qi Zhengge, and sat on the edge of the bed beside her: "You can go tomorrow." Look at the horses in the village behind, what do you think?"

Lu Lianzhi's tone of voice when she asked how it was was very brisk and lingling, and her words were soft and gentle, leaving behind her usual stern and breezy demeanor.Qi Zhengge could tell that Lu Lianzhi was really in a good mood.She couldn't help drooping her eyes like a drunken heart, and reached out to touch Lu Lianzhi's warm cheek: "Okay."

There is nothing special in the north in winter, except for radishes, cabbage is the seasonal vegetable.But the inn chef's craftsmanship is exquisite, and a simple meal can be regarded as delicious.

After dinner, Lu Lian's jubilant mood did not subside, but became more intense, and she took Qi Zhengge for a walk around the dark racecourse at night.Although the two of them couldn't get in through the railing, just looking at the not-so-small circle of pastures, accompanied by the singing of night birds and the sound of horseshoes flying by from time to time, was quite pleasant.

"I've thought it all out," Lu Lianzhi leaned on the railing, stretching out her hands for Qi Zhengge's to hold, "Chaojing is nothing interesting, and there have been no martial arts events in recent years."

"Didn't you say that you want to see the rivers and mountains in Chaozhong? Last time when you were Fusang, you said that you knew many hot springs, and you also agreed to go to the ferry together and visit the temple together... In the past, you always worry about people. If you don’t get away from the matter, you should take a break from today. After today, you and I can swim through all these good places. Where you want to go and what you want to see, it’s all considered as progress .”

"——If you meet something that makes you linger, put it in a good place for us to retreat in the future."

The sky around is dark, maybe it's snowing heavily, and at night there will be no stars or moon.Even so, Lu Lianzhi's eyes seemed to glow with starlight, shining brightly and filled with boundless hope.

"Chaojing is to the north, so we will go south from here, and let you travel and experience along the way. If you pass by the places where I have made friends and old friends, you can still reconnect with old friends. If you pass by places that you don't know, there will be boundless opportunities. New friends meet old friends—”

"The horses here in the village seem to have very strong feet from a distance. I will pick two horses tomorrow. I know there is a trail with a beautiful scenery and less traffic. Let's not pass Chongming by then..."

Just as Lu Lianzhi said this, she suddenly tightened her body, and was hugged tightly by Qi Zhengge who was covering her body.

She immediately stopped talking, just smiled and put her arms around Qi Zhengge's back, waiting for Qi Zhengge's reaction.

At night, the winter wind swirls and sometimes slows down, Qi Zhengge hugged Lu Lianzhi, rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck, but did not speak.

When the winter wind stopped and started again, Lu Lianzhi only heard a very slight sigh mixed with the wind.

"As long as it's you, it's fine..." Qi Zhengge's voice trembled slightly, and it seemed somewhat distorted by the strong wind blowing by his ears.

But Lu Lianzhi could hear clearly.Leaning her back against the fence, she completely hugged Qi Zhengge into her arms.She caressed Qi Zhengge's back like a cat's fur, and whispered back: "It's me, today, in the future, and forever..."

"Will you be annoying?" She finished speaking softly, then suddenly changed her tone, and asked Qi Zhengge slyly: "The last time you thought I was annoying, you left me by the ditch , I wandered outside all night and had nowhere to go."

Bringing up the old account again, Qi Zhengge felt a little wronged, and blushed uncomfortably.She was determined not to answer this question, and only drew her arms tighter, as if she wanted to rub Lu Lianzhi into her arms.

Lu Lianzhi knew that Qi Zhengge was a little bit speechless and shy, so she laughed softly, and her voice was clear for a while, like a teenager.
