Chapter 1: Escape
It was September, it should have been a rich golden autumn, but the official road leading to Tujia was full of depression, and the thin and yellow-faced vagabonds moved with the procession weakly, and the endless flow of people, like a long dragon, carried Tujia City on their backs, and swam towards the location of the royal city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The world is known as the imperial city is like a fairyland, and the three emperors who are known as virtuous women ascended the throne as the emperor a month ago, so the people who have lost their homes in the face of great drought and locust plagues are full of hope to advance towards the royal city, hoping that the empress can open the granary, distribute grain, and relieve the common people as she did when she was a prince a few years ago.
In the team in the same direction, two figures suddenly appeared, slowly going against the flow of people, towards Tujia City.
Someone looked at it curiously, and saw a tall figure with a thin face and gray hair, half-wrapped around a tightly wrapped person, revealing only a pair of big black and white eyes, struggling to navigate through the crowd.
The wanderer walked slowly, and it was not crowded, but the man struggled for nothing but the obvious disability of the man—the tall, gray-haired figure who was more emaciated than the others, and whose right foot was really lame, and which walked up and down, making the man more and more embarrassed.
As seen in the eyes of others, Gu Rong was indeed extremely embarrassed. She struggled to protect the unusually well-behaved and quiet young man in her arms, but the hand holding the young man kept shaking, and the injured arm was like this, but even if she used ten percent of her strength, it was only enough to protect people. Just like her gray and dry hair, her whole person, under years of incessant escape and cruelty, has been completely a candle in the wind.
Who would have thought that a person with a haggard appearance is only in his early twenties, and he should be in his prime, but because of all this, he has become like this.
Enduring the heartache caused by the trek at his right foot, Gu Rong carefully protected the people, avoided the flow of people after entering the city, found a dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere that had been abandoned for many days, and hid in it with the young man.
The person Gu Rong was protecting was like a puppet, except for the smart eyes, the movements were all fiddling with Gu Rong, Gu Rong fed him some water, ate some dry food, and until he helped him sleep, the young man was silent.
Gu Rong was already used to it, raised his hand and tidied up the cloth that was wrapped tightly on the young man's body again, as he had been doing for several months, and instructed again: "Don't show the skin outside your eyes, and don't talk to others." If I'm caught, or if I'm dead, go farther away! Get out of Tuga, where there is still a barbarian, dodge people, and keep going. If you go out of the white country, and you walk for another day, you will go to the sea, and if you hide there, you will meet people from a country where men are respected, and then you will go with them, preferably to such a country...... Even if you go to a country where men are respected, everything will never be fine...... However, there are always more ways to survive than the white country......"
Gu Rong said, feeling more and more worried.
The motionless young man blinked, and his big black and white eyes clearly reflected Gu Rong's vicissitudes of life.
It was night, the dead silence of the deserted village, the two of them slept deeply in the broken house, suddenly, a night crow cry in the distance came from afar, and when it reached the house, it was almost silent, but the silent young man on the wooden bed seemed to be startled by this cry, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped off the bed, pulled Gu Rong who was curled up on the ground and sleeping, and walked out.
The long-term life of fugitive made Gu Rong wake up when the boy jumped down, and at the same time as he was awake, he had already staggered forward with the boy.
Feeling the strangeness of the young man, Gu Rong's heart suddenly - although this stupid boy is generally like a puppet, but when he encounters danger, he is very alert than himself, and he seems to be born with some strange intuition, the two of them escaped death several times before, relying on the strange intuition of the young man, but this time this child is more anxious than before, and he can spontaneously drag himself to walk, and his hand strength is surprisingly strong, it can be seen that he is also frightened, but I am afraid that this time, it is really difficult to escape.
Gu Rong thought about it in his heart, his heart couldn't affect the innocent, so he hurriedly stuffed the young man into the remote path that he had explored during the day, tied the red rope that he had carried with him for many years around the young man's neck, looked at the jade on the red rope that was shining in the night with complicated eyes, and sighed: "I hope this red carp is really a divine thing, and it can bless you with peace." I just don't know if the gods of the royal family of the White Kingdom are willing to protect the man......"
Hiding the jade under the young man's clothes, Gu Rong didn't care whether the young man could understand it or not, and repeatedly told him to move along the path, watching the young man walk forward in a daze under her push, before he gritted his teeth and ran in the opposite direction.
After stumbling and running for a while, suddenly a sharp whistling pierced the night sky and nailed Gu Rong's ankle, Gu Rong fell to the ground, and half of his body was rubbed by the road in hot pain. Raising his head in horror, seeing a few monsters flashing with fire that appeared in the night sky at some point, Gu Rong knew that his premonition must have come true.
A group of black-clothed men jumped down from the flying monsters in mid-air and landed silently, those monsters in Gu Rong's eyes were extinguished, and it could be seen that they were some huge baskets, with pieces of cloth like tents attached to them, and the pursuers who were thrown away according to Gu Rong's expectations probably relied on this thing to catch up unexpectedly and disrupt Gu Rong's plan to flee to other countries.
"What is this called by Yuehua's life...... Yes, the hot air balloon is really easy to use, it can make people fly into the sky like immortals, and it is thanks to this artifact that I can catch the thief who fornicated with the third brother and disgraced my Xiangguo Mansion. ”
With some feminine soft voices sounding in the clear, a white-clothed man Shi Shiran walked out of the black-clothed crowd, under the moonlight, a pair of starry eyes on the handsome face of the white-clothed man were like evil ghosts, flashing with a faint and cold light: "Cheap slave, you are capable, like a mouse, you just let you run around to avoid for so many years, and now you are caught by the lord, you say, you dead cripple, how do you want to see Lord Yama?"
Gu Rong's mind turned sharply, and he glanced at the women in black who were looking around the man in white, those people had sharp eyes, and they served as the royal court guards as women who were naturally weaker than men. The dead man is directly under the helmet of the empress, and now that Gongsun Yu can travel with them, I want to come, the rumors are true, the eldest prince of Xiangguofu is already the emperor of the White Kingdom.
Under the man's malicious gaze, Gu Rong endured severe pain and dizziness and stood up, slowly, but raised his voice to the highest, and said loudly: "Jade Gongzi, no, now it should be the Jade Emperor's husband, I don't know when Your Majesty named you the imperial husband, did you ever know that your grandson Xiangguo's mansion stole the imperial tomb, stole the divine object, and hid it at home?
Gongsun Yu's eyes froze, and the leader of the black-clothed people behind him finally looked at Gu Rong, and was about to ask Gongsun Yu something, but suddenly a cold light flashed and shot towards Gu Rong.
Gu Rong couldn't dodge, she sighed in her heart, she always paid attention to Gongsun Yu, and she found that the cold light was actually shot from Gongsun Yu's fingertips, and the weak man who thought that he was deliberately raised according to the empress's preferences had such a means!
The figure of the white-clothed man Xiao resembling a woman was reflected in his eyes, and then thinking about the secret he heard a few years ago, Gu Rong thought about it, and it became clear, no wonder Gongsun Yu was much more feminine than when he was a teenager, and he looked more and more like a woman, and he had already secretly practiced the magic skills that the royal family of the White Kingdom did not pass on!
It is precisely because of this magic skill that Rao is a man is born with an advantage over ordinary women in physical strength, but most of the women in the white country are still superior in force, so the national system of the white country with women as the respect for thousands of years has not wavered. Such a miraculous exercise, practiced by a man, actually has this power, it seems that what she heard about Bai Guoguo in the past is not all false.
Life and death in an instant, the mind turned sharply, such thoughts also passed in a flash, and then the thoughts turned, and then recalled the past, remembering the reasons for falling into such a situation, all of which were raised by Gongsun Yu to win the attention of the empress.
Gu Rong suddenly understood the meaning of these four words.
I hope that the fool can escape, and it also fulfills her last bit of hope - in the end, there is only such a meager thought left in Gu Rong's heart.
