Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 308 Assassin
(18)

Say goodbye to Zhao Xiaomei and the others, Ajuan waited impatiently for a while with ignorant feelings, and finally waited for the other party to arrive at the appointment.Needless to say, this person is Zhao Kuo.

The two of them walked for a while through the narrow alleys where the sun was out of reach and the cold wind was howling.

Along the way, you can see a washerwoman rubbing her hands red, a prostitute standing on the side of the street being molested by a homeless man, and a rogue-eyed person hiding in a street corner secretly wanting to move.At the end of the road is a culvert that is as high as a person, and there are steps beside the culvert to facilitate pedestrians going up and down.

Even in such a lower area mixed with dragons and snakes, Zhao Kuo still walked leisurely as usual. He raised his head with a smile, pointed to a certain place, and told Ajuan, "Look, isn't that the Magpie Bridge?"

"Ah?" Ajuan seemed to be startled, and looked away from the vision on both sides of his body in a panic, then looked over, and replied: "Hey, it really is!"

Zhao Kuo seemed to have read the fear in the other party's heart due to his lack of experience in the world. Before Ajuan came back to his senses, he took her little hand and ran towards the culvert without hesitation.

"follow me!"

Stepping on the potholed gravel road, Ajuan panicked and nearly slipped and fell to the ground several times. Fortunately, that warm hand seemed to have a kind of strength, and it was always protecting her.

They walked up the stairs one after another and returned to the stable and safe stone brick road. They were about to continue to go to the Magpie Bridge, but unfortunately, they ran into the welcoming convoy head-on and had to slow down their pace to make way.

At noon, there was a group of musicians and drummers standing in the middle of the road, bragging.In a trance, people standing in the distance can see a total of eight pairs of red gauze lanterns holding high in front of the convoy to open the way; behind them is the bridegroom officer riding a tall horse, and behind them, there are four sedan chairs, the first three are high-ranking officials, and the last one is the groom. There are more than 80 servants on board, and each of them is holding a red lantern, which makes the convoy occupy several streets.

"Wow, what a big battle!" Ajuan watched intently, and unconsciously clenched Zhao Kuo's hand.

"Which family's rich son should be getting married?" Zhao Kuo replied nonchalantly, and continued to lead Ajuan through the vast crowd.

This time they passed more people: no matter whether they were wearing shoes or not, everyone was overwhelmed, and they all wanted to get the red envelopes thrown from the wedding car to please them.

Seeing that the crowd was in high spirits, Ajuan couldn't resist the temptation soon after being childish, and she took the initiative to break away from Zhao Kuo's hand, and rushed up with the crowd, intending to snatch a few red envelopes, and said incessantly: " Throw it here! The slave family also wants..."

No matter how the deacons tried to maintain order, everyone was still enthusiastic, chest to back, pushing each other, and soon squeezed the thin and thin Ajuan to the side.

Ajuan got upright, immediately rolled up her sleeves, took off her shoes, and threw away the medicine basket on her back, and was about to launch another round of "charge".

"Wait!" Zhao Kuo chased after him, but more people blocked his way.

This time, Ajuan was well prepared and quickly slipped to the front, and the next round of "red envelope rain" is coming soon.Unexpectedly, there are so many people behind her who are about to play tricks.

I don't know which thief did it, but when Ajuan jumped up to grab the red envelope, he pushed her to the ground with all his strength, and countless feet were about to step on such a thin body.

In an instant, Zhao Kuo rushed out with all his strength, hugged Ajuan who was covered in dust in his arms, and was about to sacrifice himself to protect him.

Seeing this, the bridegroom officer on horseback immediately shouted: "Stop!" After saying that, he jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Kuo up, and said, "It's Brother Zhao! Long time no see, are you all right?"

"You...you are the son of the Ma family?" Zhao Kuo also helped Ajuan up, and asked with concern: "You silly girl, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay."

"Isn't it just money? You can take as much as you want, how can you risk your life because of it?" Zhao Kuo became more angry as he spoke, but Ajuan tried his best to seduce her and kept her mouth pursed to play pitiful, so that Zhao Kuowan could not lose his temper in public.

"I just heard that whoever gets the red envelope at the wedding will be able to spend a lifetime with the one he loves, so..."

"This...this, why have I never heard of it?" Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded by such an answer, and continued: "Isn't this the rule of your family?"

When the groom met the two of you and me in front of him, he kept arguing and laughed, and then he bowed his hands in respect and said, "Brother Zhao, can you do me the honor of coming to my brother's wedding and bringing this girl with me?"

"Er...Brother Ma, please forgive me for being rude. I have other important banquets tonight, so we won't bother you." After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he was about to take Ajuan with him and turn around to leave. He suddenly called Ajuan to stop, and said.

"Girl, take it! I gave it to you. I wish you and your sweetheart a happy marriage as soon as possible."

After the groom finished his official speech, he immediately got on his horse and beckoned the convoy to move on.

Zhao Kuo took Ajuan back to the place where she had thrown away her burden, and personally retrieved her shoes and medicine basket, and then sent them to the other party, watching the other party clumsily put on the shoes and carry the medicine basket on her back.

"Silly girl, I haven't entertained you well during this time, and I don't have time to take you on a sightseeing tour. You won't blame me, will you?" Zhao Kuo asked with a slightly apologetic tone.

"No!" Ajuan blurted out without any thought, and then said: "That Mr. Ma just now is really kind! The girl who married him must be a very good person too." ?”

But seeing Ajuan looking at the happy money all the time, with a smile on his face, Zhao Kuo couldn't help the throbbing in his heart after all, and called out to the other party again: "Silly girl."

"You are not allowed to call me 'silly girl'!" Until then, Ajuan realized that she had been mocking herself.She only heard an angry cry, and said: "Let's go quickly, after dark, you will disappear again."

"it is good……"

After talking, the two walked on the road leading to the famous "Magpie Bridge" in Yuyi Town. They separated for a while in front of the Niulang Pavilion and the Weaver Girl Pavilion, and then walked up to the top floor alone, and finally met again at the Magpie Bridge.

"How about it, Yuyi Town, isn't it beautiful?" After Zhao Kuo said, Ajuan didn't rush to answer, but secretly marveled at the prosperity of Frontier Army Town, which was beyond her previous imagination.

"Here, it is very beautiful and prosperous, but there are also disadvantages..." Ajuan continued to explain: "I saw that many people didn't even have to wear shoes, and they were barefoot in the winter. But even so, the slave family still I like this place very much. In Miao Township, not many people have always been willing to make friends with the Nu family, just because the Nu family is the daughter of the patriarch. Everyone respects and fears me, but no one wants to make friends with me."

"I heard that there will be a war in Yuyi Town soon?" Ajuan asked blankly: "At that time, will this place..."

Before the words were finished, thunder suddenly flashed across the sky for a moment, and then it began to rain.

Mr. Zhao's huge body covered Ajuan, keeping most of the raindrops out.The two walked towards Zhinu Pavilion together.

"No. Yuyi Town will never be destroyed in our hands." Ajuan snuggled into Zhao Kuo's generous arms, feeling the tremor from the other side's heart, and couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

"Ajuan, the rain never falls for too long, so don't worry too much."

"Well, the slave family knows."

Sure enough, after only three quarters, the shower stopped, and a faint rainbow appeared in the sky.
