An Feng Bamboo Horse

?Inviting relatives and friends, helping the poor people, offering sacrifices and sweeping, praying for blessings, Dingguohoufu lived a lively and lively year as usual.The hustle and bustle of the New Year's firecrackers has not yet dissipated, and the whole house is busy, preparing spring clothes and other things for the young master and Mr. Bu to go to Beijing for the exam.

Xia Pingchang heard that his second brother was going to the capital, and cried for a while to follow.Xia Anfeng made a wish with him in private, that he would bring back a lot of delicious and interesting things from the capital, and he would not give up; but he still ran to Bu Zhang's white room, holding Bu Zhang and chatting about Bai Xu for a long time.

Bu Zhangbai coaxed him with kind words and sent him out of the yard.From a distance, Xia Feng looked at the other side of the water pavilion coldly.

Another version of the Tianmai Valley battle that Xia Feng said quickly floated up in his heart - the Bu family surrendered to the enemy, and the Xia family turned the tide with all their might.

Suddenly there was an impulse in my heart, I wanted to talk to Xia Feng face to face.But when he walked around the waterside corridor bridge and found the place where Xia Feng was standing just now, the building was already empty.

This heir of Dingguohou's Mansion has been very low-key and restrained recently. Compared with the Xia Feng he knew before, he seems to be a different person.

The agreed day to go to Beijing has arrived.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and the river is flowing. It is a good day to go out.

The car of the Weiguo Mansion stopped at the gate of the city early in the morning, it was magnificent and full of flowers, lest people in the world would not know that the third son was here.The tall horse that Luo Tang was riding was extraordinary and beaming, and those who didn't know it thought it was going to marry some famous lady.

Xia Anfeng also chose to ride a horse, and took the bloody sweat horse that almost broke his back a few months ago from his father.At this time, I was riding side by side with Luo Tang on the horse, and looked at my friend Yushu Linfeng with a dark face: "Seeing that you are so beautiful when you go home, and thinking about the 'peach blossom chaos' commented by the master, I think it may not be completely false Intimidation."

Luo Tang looked at him, Xia Anfeng tied up his long hair, tied a bun high on his head, and tied a long tassel in the bun; he was dressed in a short jacket and leather boots, and he was well dressed. It's like a quack who walks darts.He is also full of sloth and wants to spit out, if you dress up like this, does your Lord Hou know.

Compared to the two of them who were heroic and energetic, Bu Zhangbai sat quietly in the carriage.Although he also came from a family of generals, but his father died early, he grew up under the care of his aunt, and he knows nothing about horsemen shooting bows and arrows.

A group of ten people from Weiguo Mansion and 15 people from Dingguohou's Mansion, driving three cars and two luggage carts, drove out of the city gate in a mighty way.

They walked along the official road, facing the spring breeze, the birds singing and the flowers fragrant, very pleasant.

Xia Anfeng and Luo Tang rode side by side at the front, the two of them had nothing to do, so Xia Anfeng asked if there were any delicious and interesting places in the capital.

"There are a lot of delicious food. You can eat snacks from all over the country in the capital, depending on whether you are used to eating them. There are more places to play, such as the smash hit 'Duiyuexuan' and 'Wanhualou'. During the day, there are a lot of guests and high friends, and before we go, we have to hand over name cards, which is very hot." Luo Tang smiled and rode his horse closer to him, "The emotional connection with Miss Hongxiu was interrupted midway; when I entered Beijing , settle Bu Zhangbai well, and I will lead you to see and see."

Subconsciously, Xia Anfeng stretched his neck and looked back. Bu Zhangbai's car was a foot away behind him. "...Can we go somewhere more serious?"

"Why, you are still worried that Mr. Bu will control you for your father when you enter the capital?" Luo Tang snorted and laughed, "My friend, I have seen someone who is afraid of his wife, but I have never seen someone who is afraid of his childhood friend."

Xia Anfeng felt a little strange when he said that, but there was always a corner of his heart that felt uneasy when Bu Zhangbai and Luo Tang went to hang around such a place without telling Bu Zhangbai. "I will accompany him to Beijing, where I want to go, I have to explain to him, I can't leave him alone..."

"Then why don't you take Mr. Bu with you?"

Xia Anfeng was in a hurry: "How can you take him to that kind of place!"

Luo Tang glared at him: "Are you his father or his mother! He is also an adult now!!"

"..." This kind of topic always went around to the point where Xia Anfeng was speechless.

After traveling for about an hour and a half, the convoy gradually deviated from the official road and entered a small path along the predetermined route.The trees on the side of the road are covered with towering trees, and a sparkling lake can be seen through the dense forests.Xia Anfeng discussed with Luo Tang and decided to stop the convoy and go to the lake to rest for a while.

Xia Anfeng dismounted from his horse, approached Bu Zhangbai's driver, lifted the curtain and entered.

The carriages for carrying people on this trip to Beijing were all built by Dingguo Hou and his family members, and they were spacious inside, which could accommodate three people lying side by side, and they were all equipped with bedding, pillows, incense burners, and hand towels.Bu Zhangbai sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, and raised his head from a book he was reading: "Is it time for a break?"

Xia Anfeng nodded, and pulled him out of the car, "The scenery by the lake is pretty good, come out and take a walk."

Bu Zhang's white feet fell to the ground, but Xia Anfeng still held him tightly.Bu Zhangbai looked down at the hands held together by the two, and smiled: "It's not a three-year-old child, and it's not in the mansion. You are holding me so tightly because you are afraid that I will get lost." Yes, I took my palm out of his hand.

Recently, there has been a slight alienation in him. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Xia Anfeng, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, no matter how slow he was, finally noticed it now.There are no outsiders here, and there is no Bu Xiushu who thinks the two of them are too close. Bu Zhangbai would pull his hand away, which only means that he doesn't want to be held by him again.

Why is that?

Xia Anfeng felt sad, frowned, and said, "Xiaobai... did I do something wrong?"

Turning his back to his figure, he froze slightly, Bu Zhangbai turned his head and smiled: "What are you talking about?"

It's not that you did anything wrong, it's...

Bu Zhangbai himself didn't know what kind of thing he was looking for, let alone what kind of result he was looking for.

Xia Anfeng strode up, firmly grabbed his hand, and asked directly: "Then why did you throw me away?"

"I……"

The palm of the grasped hand was hot, and it was unknown whose body temperature was higher.

"Hey, what are you two still dawdling over there, dinner is ready!" Luo Tang's voice came from far away by the lake.

Xia Anfeng responded, and regardless of whether Bu Zhangbai would continue to resist, he took his hand and walked towards the lake.

The red-haired boy had a dark face, which was rare. He was always gentle and considerate when facing Bu Zhangbai. This sudden attack made Bu Zhangbai's heart skip a beat. I don't know if Xia Anfeng noticed something?

In this way, he was dragged all the way to the lake. A bonfire had already been lit by the lake, and an iron pot was set up, which was filled with hot fresh fish caught from the lake.

Luo Tang looked at the two of them holding hands with a smile: "The relationship is really good."

At this time, Xia Anfeng let go of Bu Zhangbai, and gently pressed him down on a stone covered with a soft cloth.In a low voice: "I just noticed, there are indeed other figures in the forest."

Bu Zhang was taken aback.

Bored, Luo Tang stirred the fish in the pot with an iron spoon: "I've followed since I left the city. You really are a bandit who is not afraid of death."

Xia Anfeng said: "It may not be a bandit, we all have our own emblem as a mark, even if we don't know your Wei Guogong's mark, there are very few rogues in this place who don't know Dingguo Houfu."

He spoke softly, and it was only then that Bu Zhangbai suddenly realized that Xia Anfeng held his hand so forcefully just now, not allowing him to resist, not because he had doubts about himself, but because he wanted to protect him... …

That's right, Xia Anfeng has always taken care of him like this, sparing no effort.

Bu Zhangbai lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealed the turbulent emotions in his eyes, and the firelight reflected on his fair face, flickering on and off.

Until a spoon touched his hand, he raised his head, and Xia Anfeng's surprised face magnified in front of his eyes: "Xiao Bai, why are you in a daze? I told you to eat fish, and you didn't respond for a long time." The porcelain bowl of fish soup and fish meat was stuffed into Bu Zhangbai's hands, "Come, drink while it's hot."

Bu Zhangbai held the steaming bowl: "Those who followed us, can you find out how many there are?"

"It doesn't matter if there are ten or eight of them, we have the soldiers from the mansion with us, so we don't have to be afraid of twice as many people." Xia Anfeng patted the long sword on his waist, triumphantly, "Besides, there are still I am here, and my sword is not vegetarian."

Luo Tang finished eating the fish in his bowl slowly, and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Bu, don't worry, no matter how bad your friend's swordsmanship is - ah, I heard that Master Hou beat him very badly in the martial arts training ground, I would like to express my sympathy - —He will also use his body to block in front of you, so that the thieves will not hurt a single hair of your hair."

"Hey..." Xia Anfeng blushed inexplicably, "What are you talking about..."

"Isn't it? You accompanied Mr. Bu to Beijing, didn't you do everything possible to keep him safe?"

Xia Anfeng muttered: "That's the way it is, but why did you say it so nasty..."

Luo Tang had a deep meaning: "I just tell what I think is the truth, as for the others, it's just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention."

——Xia Anfeng and Bu Zhangbai now are just like him and that person back then, ignorant but not enlightened... Sometimes when I think about it carefully, I am quite anxious for them; but this kind of thing is not like other people He can blatantly push them.

Bu Zhang touched the meaning of his words in vain, and his heart beat a little.He was older than Xia Anfeng, and he was more thoughtful. In addition, he knew the thoughts of Xia Zun, Marquis of Dingguo, towards his father. His thinking direction was much broader than Xia Anfeng's.

But he didn't want to delve into this topic any further, he lowered his head, pretending that he didn't hear, and slowly sipped the hot soup in the bowl. ?
