36. Pangyu (10)

This box Yu Xiaoyu went back to the room to change into the rain-soaked clothes, but Zhanzhao was left by Zhanzhong.

Yu Xiaoyu changed his clothes and simply lay down on the bed, planning to make up for the lack of sleep the night before, and then think about how to grab Zhanzhao's room.

And Zhan Zhao was finally relieved after a period of "fatigue bombardment" in Zhanzhong, returned to his room, and changed out of his half-dried clothes.

When Zhanzhao pushed open the door, he saw Yu Xiaoyu lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Zhan Zhao squatted on the side of the bed, gently threw Yu Xiaoyu's arm out of the bed back on the bed, and gently touched Yu Xiaoyu's delicate face, and couldn't help but think of Zhan Zhong's words just now, secretly a little helpless - where is Yu Xiaoyu who is willing to be obedient? If she was willing to listen to him, she wouldn't be Yu Xiaoyu.

Zhanzhao knew in his heart that although Yu Xiaoyu was far from the image of his expected wife, he did not reject walking hand in hand with her to finish this life, but Yu Xiaoyu was ......

Zhan Zhao was not unaware of Yu Xiaoyu's deliberate alienation from him, maybe at the beginning, he didn't quite understand; But after what happened last night, Zhanzhao really confirmed his thoughts; However, now that the two of them have married each other, Zhanzhao can only make plans to slowly change Yu Xiaoyu's mind.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Zhan Zhao whispered: "Since you don't want to be with me, why do you have to marry me?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu, who was immersed in a sweet dream, vaguely felt a little itchy on his face, raised his hand and scratched his face, smacked his lips, and turned over to continue the dream in Zhanzhao's low murmur.

Seeing Yu Xiaoyu sleeping sweetly, Zhanzhao gently pulled the quilt and covered Yu Xiaoyu's body before standing up and finding clean clothes to change.

When Yu Xiaoyu finally slept beautifully and stretched his waist to wake up, he saw Zhan Zhao sitting at the table, leaving only himself with a straight back.

Hearing the voice behind him, Zhan Zhao put down the book in his hand, turned his head, and looked at Yu Xiaoyu who looked confused: "Awake?" ”

"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoyu nodded, sat up, stroked his hair, and thought for a while: "Master Zhan, why don't we two run away now?" I always felt that the screen wouldn't be so light......"

"Well, when I didn't say it." Looking at Zhanzhao's changed face, Yu Xiaoyu waved his hand and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, it's you who is in trouble, she is in trouble, and it has nothing to do with me, why do I care so much!" ”

When it comes to Ping'er, even though Zhanzhao keeps telling sΓΉ that he just thinks too much about Xiaoyu, he really doesn't want to have too much contact with the overly enthusiastic junior; In addition, remembering what Zhan Zhong had been nagging about in the past two days, Zhan Zhao pursed the corners of his mouth: "Let's stay for another night tonight and leave tomorrow." ”

"Really?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao nodded, Yu Xiaoyu happily jumped off the bed, rushed over and pulled Zhan Zhao's arm: "Lord Zhan, I love you so much, you are the wisest person to make this decision." ”

Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's "explicit" words, Zhanzhao's face flushed, and he reprimanded lightly: "Nonsense, say anything." ”

Early the next morning, Yu Xiaoyu followed Zhan Zhao on the journey to Suzhou and Hangzhou with Zhan Zhong's reluctant and uneasy eyes; However, after passing through a small post station, Yu Xiaoyu's plan for a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou was completely ruined.

"Xiaoyu," Zhanzhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu with an embarrassed expression: "I'm afraid...... We ......"

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaoyu blinked uneasily, as if he understood something, and grabbed Zhanzhao's sleeve tightly: "You...... It can't be a change of clothes, right? ”

Zhan Zhao coughed lightly: "I'll take you to Suzhou and Hangzhou next time; At this point, we have to go somewhere else first. ”

"Y-How can you do that?" Yu Xiaoyu pursed his lips: "Otherwise, you go and do your own business, and I go to Suzhou and Hangzhou alone, how about it?" ”

"You are a woman's house," Zhan Zhao picked up his things and glanced at Yu Xiaoyu: "How can you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou alone......

"Why can't I go?"

"Okay, don't make trouble," Zhan Zhao insisted on pulling Yu Xiaoyu on the horse: "I don't worry about you going to Suzhou and Hangzhou alone." ”

Zhan Zhao's sudden words of concern made Yu Xiaoyu stunned, and a taste called "sweetness" suddenly rose in his heart.

However, this short-term "sweet" taste always has to pay a price, and Yu Xiaoyu finally realized what a real meal style sleeping in the open air - on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Zhanzhao was really a guest when he treated Xiaoyu.

When Yu Xiaoyu was forced to live in a ruined temple or in the mountains and forests every night, when she held the cold and hard dry food that was difficult to swallow, she actually had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Zhanzhao took Yu Xiaoyu to travel day and night for several days, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Chenzhou.

Zhan Zhao took Yu Xiaoyu along the main road, abandoning his horse, while inquiring about the situation in Chenzhou, while thinking about the letter he received from Mr. Gongsun a few days ago.

It turned out that although he was busy with affairs, Master Bao had always remembered the affairs of Chenzhou in his heart. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Mr. Bao met someone on the street to stop the sedan chair and shout injustice, and the person who came came from Chenzhou wanted to sue Pang Yu, the son of Pang Taishi who was ordered to give relief. After that, Lord Bao specially asked the emperor to go to Chenzhou to check the relief situation; The emperor approved Lord Bao's performance, and specially appointed Lord Bao as the minister of the Qin Mission, and went to Chenzhou to check the relief situation. Therefore, Mr. Gongsun specially sent a letter to Zhanzhao and asked him to go to Chenzhou first to understand the situation.

Yu Xiaoyu looked at Zhan Zhao, who had been silent beside him, and suddenly pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve: "Lord Zhan, listen, what is the voice?" ”

Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, and also heard a faint sad voice not far in front of him: "Let's go over and have a look." ”

After walking a few steps, I saw a group of people in the distance, dressed in rags, carrying men and women, as if fleeing.

Yu Xiaoyu looked at Zhan Zhao with a stern face, and noticed the stern nature of the matter: "Lord Zhan, where is this?" They look like refugees, right? ”

"This is Chenzhou." Zhan Zhao looked at the hurried refugees not far in front of him, and was very surprised in his heart, obviously he didn't expect that the matter in Chenzhou had reached such a strict point.

"Oh," Yu Xiaoyu nodded, and while following Zhanzhao towards the group of refugees, he inquired curiously: "I heard that there has been a drought here recently, didn't the imperial court send someone to help the disaster?" ”

"Sent, it's just ......" While speaking, Zhanzhao had already walked up to the refugees with sad faces, and asked softly: "Are you from Chenzhou?" Why did you flee here? ”

Everyone replied in unison: "Don't mention the sad things we are waiting for, we are all from Chenzhou." ”

"Chenzhou?" Zhan Zhao took out the broken silver around him and scattered it to everyone, and asked as if puzzled: "I heard that the imperial court has sent someone to give relief, why are you like this?" ”

Everyone accepted the silver with great gratitude, looked at the two people with kind faces in front of them, and expressed their sadness.

One of them answered Zhanzhao's question: "Son, we are all good citizens of Chenzhou, if we really can't live, who wants to leave their hometown with such a background?" ”

The other person said: "Give it away, hmph, who knows if it's true or not......

An old man said: "Don't hide it from the prince, the imperial court sent the son of the Pang Taishi, who called An Lehou to come here, and on the surface, he said that he was ordered to give relief to the hungry people in Chenzhou." But who knows......"

The person who spoke earlier continued: "But who knows that the Marquis of An Lehou not only refused to give alms, but instead went around forcibly grabbing young and strong people to build gardens for him, and the stupid and stupid ones were enslaved, and went around plundering beautiful women of the people as concubines. Uncle, you said that everyone has no way to live, isn't this even more fatal? That's why I'm going to flee to other places, just to have a way to live! ”

Looking at the refugees crying very sadly in front of him, Zhan Zhao was very angry in his heart: "That Pang Yu is so bold, he dares to do such a hurtful thing......

"Are you going to Chenzhou with your son?" One of the refugees asked suddenly.

"Prince, you must not take your lady to that place," the other refugees said with concern: "It is the Yama Palace now, and the lady is so beautiful, I'm afraid that ......"

"You don't have to worry about us," Zhan Zhao nodded: "Don't go too far, go home after a while!" ”

After speaking, he took Yu Xiaoyu to say goodbye to everyone and continued to walk towards Chenzhou Road.

"Lord Zhan," Yu Xiaoyu pulled Zhanzhao's sleeve and carefully lowered his voice: "Are you going to clean up that little crab?" ”

"Little crab?"

"Yes, it's that An Lehou, isn't his surname Pang." Yu Xiaoyu looked at no one on the left and right, then approached Zhanzhao, and said in a low voice: "You are a hero of the rivers and lakes, that An Lehou is ostensibly ordered to give relief, but in the end, he is full of private pockets......

"And then?"

"And then?" Yu Xiaoyu learned Zhanzhao's tone: "You are a dignified Nanxia, a famous chivalrous man on the rivers and lakes, how can you tolerate this kind of scum to survive in the world?" Are you worthy of your chivalrous name? ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's words, Zhan Zhao frowned: "An Lehou is originally an official of the imperial court, how can I use lynching?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu evoked a knowing smile: "Sample, you can pretend; Why are you here not to clean up the little crabs? ”

The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly they heard an intermittent wail not far away.

Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly followed Zhan Zhao to the place where the cry came from, and saw an old woman not far away, lying on a brand-new tomb on the side of the road, crying extremely sadly.

Zhan Zhao gave Yu Xiaoyu a look, and asked Yu Xiaoyu to step forward and ask what was going on.

Yu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart: "You know how to use me." ”

However, although Yu Xiaoyu had a lot of complaints about Zhanzhao's use of him, he still couldn't resist the strong curiosity in his heart, and stepped forward and patted the old woman gently: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The old woman raised her head, and saw a young girl in front of her looking at her half-respectfully, and not far away stood a young man, as if she remembered something, and her crying voice rose instantly.

Looking at the old woman who saw that she was crying louder, Yu Xiaoyu looked back at Zhanzhao aggrievedly, touched her face again, and then squatted down, helping the old woman to look at her at eye level: "What happened?" ”

"Yes," Seeing that the old woman kept crying, and didn't explain the reason, Zhan Zhao also took a few steps forward, stood behind Yu Xiaoyu, and asked with concern: "Old mother, what happened, why are you crying so sadly, you might as well tell us and my wife." ”

The old woman said with tears in her eyes: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Gongzi, a good family, I am the only one left for no reason, I ......"

Seeing that the old woman was crying again, Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly interjected and said, "What happened, you might as well tell the two of us." ”

"Could it be that all the people in the old mother's family have suffered misfortune?" Zhan Zhao thought about it, squatted behind Yu Xiaoyu, softened his voice, and asked with concern.

"Alas," said the old woman, sighing, and stopped crying, and sobbed, "if they were all dead, they would still be sure; That's how it is now, it's uncomfortable to live and not die......"

Zhan Zhao couldn't tell the old woman clearly when he saw that she was miscellaneous, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart: "If there is anything embarrassing, you might as well tell me about it." ”

The old woman looked at Zhanzhao dressed as a martial artist, not like a bad person; And Yu Xiaoyu was gently wiping away his tears, so he opened his mouth to talk: "The old woman's surname is Yang, and she married Na Tian Zhong as his wife......
