dīng líng —— 叮铃—— dīng líng —— 叮铃—— The camel bell and horse bell gather in together, the city gate of Heicheng opens greatly, just at nightfall, arrived late the trade route to enter a city, almost crowded the spacious city gate. Several tens of thousands of armies that Heicheng peripheral has, in the top also the weapons converge, for does not frighten the trade route that passes in and out, troops and horses in city are not many. 驼铃和马铃铛汇聚在一起,黑城的城门大开,刚刚入夜,晚到了商旅正在进城,几乎把宽大的城门塞满了。黑城周边驻扎的数万军队,城头上也兵甲云集,不过为了不吓到进出的商旅,城内的兵马并不多。 On a sand dune of western Heicheng, camel and steed compound, two person's shadows are looking into the distance. 黑城西侧的一个沙丘上,骆驼与骏马并列,两个人影眺望着远方。 600 li (0.5 km) distance is a little far, makes a long and wearisome journey consecutive four days, passes through desolate and uninhabited desert and vast desert, arrived around Heicheng finally. 六百里的距离还是有点远的,连续四天的长途跋涉,穿越荒无人烟戈壁与沙海,总算是来到了黑城附近。 Xu Buling relaxes slightly, took down from horse side with the long spear that the arrange/cloth wraps. 许不令稍微松了口气,从马侧取下来了用布包裹的长槊。 Zhongli Chuchu pulls the camel, exhausted on face is not covering up, but also has several points to complain that —— Xu Buling said leads her to take the jade pendant, did not say that ahead of time is so far, her least bit preparation does not have, bringing a water pocket to embark, the result walked is four days, the eye and to all was the sand, if not for obtained the east, south, west, and north, she thinks that became lost was talking circuitously. 身旁的钟离楚楚牵着骆驼,脸上的疲惫不加掩饰,还带着几分埋怨——许不令说带着她来取玉佩,也不提前说走这么远,她半点准备没有,带着一个水囊就出发了,结果一走就是四天,目及所至全是沙子,若不是分得出东南西北,她都以为迷路了在绕圈子。 Has not eaten has not drunk, cannot take a bath. 没吃没喝,不能洗澡。 Zhongli Chuchu first day also has the thoughts to do everything possible to entice Xu Buling, after discovering Xu Buling is the wood/blockhead corner, then also gave up the thoughts temporarily, keeping silent follows, was sometimes thirsty and said embarrassed, but must cough gently two reminders. 钟离楚楚第一天还有心思想方设法勾引许不令,发现许不令是个木头旮沓后,便也暂时打消了心思,默不作声的跟着走,有时候口渴又不好意思说,还得轻轻咳嗽两声提醒。 If we had known, she not with, for the jade pendant of block hearsay runs is so far, is really not worth it. 若是早知道,她就不跟出来了,为了块道听途说的玉佩跑这么远,实在划不来。 Sees the outline of city again, Zhongli Chuchu relaxes finally, about looked under: 再次看到城池的轮廓,钟离楚楚总算是松了口气,左右看了下: „Is here sand city?” “这里是沙城？” Xu Buling shakes the head: „Heicheng.” 许不令摇了摇头:“黑城。” „Is Heicheng...... also your domain?” “黑城……也是你的地盘？” Zhongli Chuchu recalled slightly, is somewhat bewildered: „I remember probably, Heicheng is Northern Qi, you are King Su Heir Apparent......” 钟离楚楚稍微回想了下,有些莫名其妙:“我好像记得,黑城是北齐的,你是肃王世子……” Xu Buling is raising the long spear, said in a soft voice: „Looks for the jade pendant to you, the jade pendant in Heicheng, then came.” 许不令提着长槊,轻声道:“给你找玉佩,玉佩在黑城,便过来了。” ?? ？？ Zhongli Chuchu blinks, the complexion alerts immediately, looks to all around: „Young Master Xu, your also too big guts, all alone entered the enemy abdomen, if were discovered, we died!” 钟离楚楚眨了眨眼睛,脸色当即戒备起来,看向四周:“许公子,你也太大胆了些,孤身一人入敌腹,若是被发现,咱们就死定了！” Xu Buling turns around to move toward the city wall, said at will: „We sneak, took the jade pendant to leave again then, what did your Jianghu person fear?” 许不令转身走向城墙,随意道:“咱们潜入进去,拿了玉佩再离开即可,你一个江湖人怕什么？” Zhongli Chuchu thinks is also, she did not have the family/home not to have the country, land under heaven does not have the place to not. Xu Buling martial arts is so high, so long as does not expose the status, but takes the jade pendant, should not have problems, having problems can also run is not. 钟离楚楚想想也是,她本就无家无国,天下没有地方去不得。许不令武艺这么高,只要不暴露身份,只是去取玉佩的话,应该不会出问题,出了问题也能跑不是。 Read and here, Zhongli Chuchu had not said again, by a withered scrub forest outside city, tied up the camel and horse here, then follows quickly behind Xu Buling, arrived at western Heicheng city wall. 念及此处,钟离楚楚没有再多说,在城外的一片干枯的灌木林旁,把骆驼和马拴在这里,然后快步跟在许不令后面,来到了黑城西侧的城墙脚下。 Although Heicheng the weapons converge, but does not have in the situation of war, in the city wall the not possible time to stand the person. Xu Buling waited for the moment under the city wall, determined after the Northern Qi officers who inspection pass through, the figure rises straight from the ground, several strides on direct three zhang (3.33 m) six city wall. 黑城虽然兵甲云集,但没有战事的情况下,城墙上不可能时刻都站满了人。许不令在城墙下等待了片刻,确定巡视的北齐官兵走过之后,身形拔地而起,几个大步直接上了三丈六的城墙。 After Zhongli Chuchu when Xu Buling searches the road, drew out a dagger from the waist, climbed up the city wall fast, the movement is deft. 钟离楚楚待许不令探好路后,从腰间拔出了一把匕首,飞快的爬上了城墙,动作还算麻利。 Two people enter the rural fair of Heicheng, the peripheral pedestrian increases suddenly, clamoring sound also big. 两个人进入黑城的集市,周边的行人骤然增多,喧哗声也大了起来。 The appearance of Zhongli Chuchu is very common here, walks has not brought to the attention of passer- by the crowd. However the Northern Qi man all threw over hair, the Xu Buling bunch is sending too obviously, then looks for a bamboo hat to wear in the head, raised the long spear to arrive in a restaurant near Left Side Prince mansion. 钟离楚楚的打扮在这边很常见,走在人群中并未引起路人的注意。不过北齐的男子全是披着头发,许不令束发太明显,便找了个斗笠戴在了头上,提着长槊来到了左亲王府附近的一个酒楼内。 In the restaurant the trade route are many, is away from home mostly leads the blade soldier, at this time is discussing chaotically: 酒楼中商旅很多,出门在外大多带着刀兵,此时正在七嘴八舌的谈论着: „...... The prince the birthday, hears today your majesty sent the envoy coming birthday greetings, Imperial Fist Building Qi Guo also to follow, to congratulate sickle also arrived......” “……王爷今天大寿,听说陛下派了使臣过来贺寿,御拳馆的齐国海也跟着,贺镰也到了……” Xu Buling looked for the spatial liquor table by the window, the long spear by the wall, listens respectfully to the restaurant peacefully person's conversation. 许不令找了个靠窗的空酒桌,把长槊靠在墙上,安静聆听酒楼中人的交谈。 Places the foreign country, Zhongli Chuchu also somewhat gets muddled, sits turns away from the people to untie the veil in the corner, held the bowl to drink a big mouth, breathes a sigh of relief: „Who are these people?” 身处异国他乡,钟离楚楚还有些发蒙,坐在角落背对着众人解开面纱,捧着茶碗喝了一大口,才舒了口气:“这些人都是谁呀？” „Northern Qi here character, Qi Guo was known as that Northern Qi swordsmanship top three, when is young also had once gone to the Central Plain, wished the silk mountain to compare notes with Old Sword Saint......” “北齐这边的人物,齐国海号称北齐剑道前三甲,年轻时还曾去过中原,和老剑圣祝绸山切磋过……” „Finally?” “结果呢？” Xu Buling chuckle under: „Finally definitely lost, but wished Old Sword Saint to meet to incur, wants to come is also a side character...... to congratulate sickle is the retainer under Right Side Prince tent/account, bordered on with Taiyuan and Youzhou, it is said that has fought with Chen Chong, but the victory and defeat I am not clear......” 许不令轻笑了下:“结果肯定是输了,不过祝老剑圣能接招,想来也是一方人物……贺镰是右亲王帐下的门客,和太原、幽州接壤,据说和陈冲打过架,不过胜负我就不清楚了……” Zhongli Chuchu nods, several days are eating the like chewing wax dry rations, a little are naturally bored, after waiter serves food, took up the chopsticks, thinks, to Xu Buling but actually bowl of liquor: 钟离楚楚点了点头,几天都在吃味如嚼蜡的干粮,自然有点腻味,等小二上菜后,拿起了筷子,想了想,又给许不令倒了碗酒: „Eats meal.” “吃饭吧。” Xu Buling carried the liquor bowl to sip one, then stood up: 许不令端起酒碗抿了一口,便站起身来: „You first eat meal, I go to bring the jade pendant.” “你先吃饭,我去把玉佩取来。” Zhongli Chuchu should follow properly speaking, but really walked until tired for these days, can sit to eat with great difficulty well, naturally does not want such anxious flurried, immediately blinks: „Has dived to enter a city, this while, will not look anxiously tomorrow again.” 钟离楚楚按理说该跟着,可这几天实在走累了,好不容易能坐下来吃顿好的,自然不想就这么急急慌慌,当下眨了眨眼睛:“已经潜进城了,不急这一会儿,明天再去找吧。” „Quick, in that side.” “很快的,就在那边。” Xu Buling was with smile on the face, raised the long spear, turned around to go out of the restaurant, but also bought only the roast chicken in the roast chicken outdoor shop of street, the oiled paper wrapped is raising in the hand. 许不令面带微笑,提起了长槊,转身走出了酒楼,还在街边的烧鸡摊子上买了只烧鸡,油纸包着提在手上。 Zhongli Chuchu carries one bowl of cooked rice to stand in the window gazes, in the deep green pupil appears several points of inexplicable. 钟离楚楚端着一碗白米饭站在窗口目送,碧绿的眸子里显出几分莫名。 Was constantly together for four days, normal enough saw clearly a person, living alone of especially this solitary one male widow. If there is evil thought that one loses to her, would revealing traces. 朝夕相处了四天,正常来说足够看清一个人了,特别是孤男寡女的独处。若是对她有一丢丢的邪念,总会露出点蛛丝马迹。 But, Zhongli Chuchu only felt since for these days lightly, does not have the billows is not near without the wave, cold time will cover clothes to her, will walk until tired to stop under the rest, in the evening slept each other left was very near, will not raise a rumpus. 可这几天以来,钟离楚楚只感觉到平淡,无波无澜不远不近,冷的时候会给她盖件衣服,走累了会停下来休息下,晚上睡觉的时候彼此离的很近,也不会动手动脚。 This feeling is very strange, definitely is not attempts to her, is not loathful. Since childhood did not have the relatives and friends, but she felt obtained feeling between this probably close friends, no goal and desire, this/should care time cared, other times were light like the water, did not need what behavior expression to show. 这种感觉很奇怪,肯定不是对她有企图,也不让人讨厌。自幼没有亲友,但她还是感觉得出这像是至亲知己之间的感觉,没有什么目的和欲望,该关心的时候关心,其他时候都是平淡如水,不需要什么行为言辞来证明。 Read and here, Zhongli Chuchu a little embarrassed —— her original intention wants to let Xu Buling suddenly after all ‚revealing one's true colors’, turned is like other disgusting men. 念及此处,钟离楚楚忽然有点不好意思——毕竟她的初衷是想让许不令‘原形毕露’,变成和其他的恶心男人一样。 At present it seems like, was she by the villain's abdomen of heart nobleman, Xu Buling was truly different from other men, modest nobleman, mild like jade, at any time not anxiously not slow...... Eh? 目前看来,是她以小人之心度君子之腹了,许不令确实和其他男人不一样,谦谦君子、温润如玉,任何时候都不急不缓……诶？ Being lost in thought that Zhongli Chuchu just thinks, discovery that mild such as jade white clothing Young Master, the right hand raises a long spear/gun suddenly, the left hand is raising only the roast chicken, arrived at the Left Side Prince mansion to guard outside the stern front door. 钟离楚楚正想的出神,忽然发现那个温润如玉的白衣公子,右手提着杆长枪,左手提着只烧鸡,走到了左亲王府守卫森严的大门外。 !! ！！ „Eh? Hey! don't don't don't......” “诶？诶诶！别别别……” Zhongli Chuchu stares dumbfounded, being frightened out of one's wits that subsequently frightens, the bowl almost gave to lose, sharply sharply toward leaving ran, secretly thought: Ended ended, this boy also was really the elm corner, had sneaks? This is not to bring death...... 钟离楚楚瞠目结舌,继而吓的魂飞魄散,碗都差点给丢了,急急往出跑,暗道:完了完了,这厮还真是个榆木旮沓,有这么潜入的？这不是送死吗…… Pitifully has not only stopped with enough time, finds outside King's mansion of distant place to be completely silent, everyone simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform looked that to Xu Buling that is raising only the roast chicken, is looks to be shocking and unbelievable. 只可惜还没来得及阻拦,就瞧见远处的王府外已经鸦雀无声,所有人齐齐看向了提着只烧鸡的许不令,都是面露震惊和难以置信。 Zhongli Chuchu was stiff suddenly at the scene, feared in the past annoyed the fatal disaster, the escaping words did not have Jianghu morality and justice alone, can only stand in the window of restaurant waits and sees carefully. 钟离楚楚一时间僵在当场,过去怕惹上杀身之祸,就这么独自逃跑话太没江湖道义,只能站在酒楼的窗口小心观望。 „Elder sister, your thing fell.” “姐姐,你的东西掉了。” In the Zhongli Chuchu facial expression ties tight, the back suddenly transmits together the small young lady sound, the skirt also by drawing under. 正在钟离楚楚神情紧绷的时候,背后忽然传来一道小姑娘的声音,裙子还被拉了下。 Zhongli Chuchu turns head, actually after the death, is standing a small girl, putting on that side Jiangnan is quite common the small short Chinese-style jacket skirt, the waist is hanging a small purse, is gripping the sheep's-horn braids, two big eyes juicy has the spiritual energy, is raising head to look at him, the gauze kerchief that when the hand takes she is just now eating meal unties. 钟离楚楚回过头来,却见背后站着一个小丫头,穿着江南那边比较常见小襦裙,腰间挂着个小荷包,扎着羊角辫,两只大眼睛水灵灵的颇有灵气,正仰着头望着他,手上拿着她方才吃饭时解开的纱巾。 „~ the elder sister is quite pretty!” “哇~姐姐好漂亮呀！” „Oh....... thanks......” “哦……谢谢……” Zhongli Chuchu revealed for several points to smile reluctantly, lifts the hand to receive the slim red gauze...... 钟离楚楚勉强露出几分微笑,抬手接过了纤薄红纱……
