Chapter 14: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

Yuan Ziyan only felt a chill in his back, and suddenly turned around when he heard the movement, but it was the official who was in the lead, but instead of killing her, he was holding the big knife around his neck and trying to kill himself!

"Brother Guan, don't!" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly rushed over and pressed the handle of the knife.

The official turned his head in a daze, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his cheeks, "Most of the ladies who entered the palace were snatched away, and the emperor must be angry, and I, as the escort commander, will not escape death." ”

"Brother Guan, it's better to die than to live, you can't think about it."

"If I die here, I may be able to escape and save my family's life." The official said and raised the big knife tremblingly.

"Wait!" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stopped him and said seriously: "Maybe you can see just now, those people don't look like robbers, but they look like well-trained soldiers. And the bandit leader is not really a robber in the mountains, in a hurry, he calls himself his son, and it seems that he is a person with some background. ”

The official was shocked, but then said gloomily: "No matter who it is, if I insult the emperor's order and live up to the trust of Taishou, I will die after all." It's just that I regret it in my heart, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have delayed the time on the road and let these robbers succeed. ”

"It's not because you're greedy for money!" Yuan Ziyan couldn't get angry when he thought about it.

"My wife died young, my 60-year-old bedridden mother, and my three children were waiting to be fed. But I don't want to endanger the lives of the whole family! The official said sadly, and raised the knife again to wipe his neck.

"Listen to me!" Yuan Ziyan stopped him again and said in a low voice, "Don't shout, don't move." No matter whether we stop on the road or not, these people are prepared and bound to win, because they not only rob money, but also rob the emperor's woman, and the purpose is very clear. So, in my opinion, it's not much of your responsibility to do this. It's better to lie down and continue to play dead, and when we leave, quickly move away with the family. ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, where can you flee to?" The official was at a loss.

"As long as you can hide outside for three years, it will be a peaceful day to come back. Remember, don't show your head for three years, or you'll die. Yuan Ziyan hinted.

The official messenger naturally didn't understand the meaning, but except for those who were mentally ill, who was willing to commit suicide, he moved his mind, stopped talking, and obediently lay on another dead man and continued to pretend to be dead.

Yuan Ziyan thought about it, pulled off the beads on his head, the accessories on his waist, and the two earrings, all of which were stuffed into the hands of the official, "Take these to make a living, remember, you must survive three years." Even if it's for the sake of mothers and children, come on! ”

Yuan Ziyan waved his small fist, and the official also waved it in a daze, because the injury was too serious, his eyes were dark, and he fainted again. Yuan Ziyan didn't dare to linger and hurried back, because the carriage and horses had already been packed up and ready to leave immediately.

"Hey, why did you go so long?" Zhou Shanshan kept staring at Yuan Ziyan's movements, and asked when she came back.

"It's your business!"

"Do you know the robbers among them?"

"Zhou Shanshan, I can warn you, the mouth is used for eating and talking, not for farting! If you have a kind, go check it out and see which dead person I know! Yuan Ziyan was very dissatisfied.

"Look at you, I'm just so casual." Zhou Shanshan put on a smiling face, "Okay, sister, let's get in the car." ”

"You go back to your car, you're not welcome here!" Yuan Ziyan looked displeased: "You can call me by my name in the future, but you are not allowed to call me sister, otherwise I will slap you once." ”

"Why call your sister?"

Zhou Shanshan said disapprerovingly, but the words did not fall, snap! A loud slap on the face, Zhou Shanshan covered her face in annoyance and asked, "Why did you hit me!" ”

"Didn't you just tell me why?" Yuan Ziyan snorted coldly.

You?!

Zhou Shanshan's chest was so angry that her chest rose and fell, but her face was super thick-skinned, and she refused to get down if she had to share a carriage with Yuan Ziyan. Yuan Ziyan didn't bother to bother with her, so she raised her leg and went up.

"Sister, don't leave me!"

An immature voice came, and Yuan Ziyan saw that it was the girl she had rescued just now. It's pitiful, completely frightened, with no bloodshot face, no eyes, still trembling, like a bird leaving the nest.

"Little sister, come up and sit with us." Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her.

"No! This car is already small, how can it sit so many people? Zhou Shanshan objected.

"If you are not happy, go back to your car and see if Biqiu's ghost comes to you!" Yuan Ziyan ignored her and pulled the little girl up, and the little girl immediately snuggled up to Yuan Ziyan, crying silently.

Yuan Ziyan felt even more pity for her in her heart, held her cold little hand in the palm of her hand, and kept comforting her, the danger had completely passed.

The group continued to hurry, and Zhou Shanshan kept complaining, saying that the valuables were gone, and what to buy new clothes and new jewelry to please the emperor.

"Little sister, how old are you? What is your name? Yuan Ziyan held the little girl's hand in the palm of her hand and asked softly.

"Back to my sister, I just turned fourteen at the beginning of the year, and my surname is Chu Ling'er." The little girl obediently added: "My father is a local county magistrate. ”

Hmph, Zhou Shanshan snorted coldly, obviously not taking this little girl from an ordinary background into account.

"Entering the palace at such a young age, are you afraid?" Yuan Ziyan rubbed Chu Linger's little hand in her heart, she was less than fifteen years old, and she was only a junior high school student in contemporary times, she was studying in a spacious and bright classroom, and she didn't understand anything, but this girl had to enter the palace to face many disputes.

"I'm afraid." Chu Ling'er lowered her head and said: "My mother is reluctant, saying that I am clumsy, and entering the palace will also make the emperor and queen angry, so it is better to go home as soon as possible." ”

"Home? Get cheap and sell well! Zhou Shanshan sighed exaggeratedly and said: "You two are also blessed to cultivate, Luoyang City has at least three mandatory quotas for entering the palace every year, and there are fewer official women to be elected this year." That's good, nine of them have been robbed, and you can enter the palace as long as you are not too bad. ”

Yuan Ziyan didn't speak, this was a bit unexpected for her, could she easily come out after entering the palace? If the palace can't perform the escape technique, three years later, the Sui Dynasty will fall, will he be killed by the rebellious ministers and thieves?

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but shudder, only to hear Zhou Shanshan say again: "Don't worry, after we enter the palace, I will say more good words to the emperor, so that you will not be too miserable!" ”

Chu Ling'er said politely, "Thank you, Sister Zhou." ”

"Thank her, why are you thanking her, maybe your status will be higher than her in the future, who will cover who will make a decision now, isn't it too early?" Yuan Ziyan did not forget to hit Zhou Shanshan at all times.

"Don't be unconvinced, isn't your father proficient in magic? I have more than one person who has said that the appearance of wealth and nobility that has not been encountered in a hundred years cannot be said to be a queen, it is also the fate of the concubine. If this were not the case, how could my parents have trained me at a young age? Zhou Shanshan was proud.

"Every day education is what it is like now, if you don't care about it since you were a child, you can't occupy the mountain as the king now, and become a monkey spirit?" Yuan Ziyan scoffed.

When Yuzhu and Chu Ling'er heard it, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, Zhou Shanshan was so angry that her face was flushed, and she was noisy all the way, but she was not lonely. Chu Ling'er was young, and she was almost killed by the bandit leader, so she couldn't lift her spirit too much, and most of the time she fell asleep on Yuan Ziyan's lap.

To put it bluntly, this is a sign of drowsiness, but the packages were snatched away by the robbers, and there were no extra clothes for her to cover.

"Zhou Shanshan, the hairpin on your head is still worth a little money, it's better to let the official errand be the errand and change the bed and quilt." Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but say.

Zhou Shanshan was so frightened that she clutched her tightly, "No, no, this is my mother's birthday gift." ”

"Where's the piece of jade around your neck?"

"What's more, this is a life talisman that my father asked for me."

You can't rob her, and it's wild everywhere, and there's really nowhere to go if you want to pay back. Fortunately, it was not long before everyone finally arrived at the inn, and the girls were able to wash.

The seriously injured officer was treated on the spot, and the rest of the people continued to rush early the next morning. Chu Ling'er's drowsiness became even more serious, wrapped in a thick quilt taken from the post station and said that it was cold, Yuan Ziyan had to hold her in her arms and secretly pray that she would never fall ill.

After another hard day, this team that is very incommensurate with other states and counties, and seems to be a little embarrassed and listless, finally came to Daxing City!

Even Yuan Ziyan, who came from modern times, was shocked by the prosperity of Daxing City.

The long street is very wide, allowing eight horse-drawn carriages to pass at the same time, and there are spacious courtyards on both sides of the long street, many of which are pavilions. Luoyang City was the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and it was prosperous, but compared with Daxing City, it was a level worse. Let's just talk about this house, Yuan Ziyan realized that there were two-story and three-story small buildings in his home, which was already the days of rich and noble families, but it can be seen everywhere here, which shows that life is rich.

The bazaar is even more lively, crowded with people, people dressed in various colorful satin clothes come and go, and they are full of joy.

"Wow, it's really the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, look at it, there are also rich ladies and ladies shopping for things!" Zhou Shanshan's eyes were even more insufficient, and she opened the curtain excitedly to look at it.

"There's a saying I don't know if you've heard it, the toad at the bottom of the well hasn't seen much of the sky." Yuan Ziyan yawned and said.

"Hmph, you can describe it in four words, the frog at the bottom of the well." Zhou Shanshan glanced at Yuan Ziyan with disdain, and through understanding along the way, she found that the famous Yuan Tiangang did not teach his daughter well, behaved casually, and spoke rudely, which was not as good as her previous girl Biqiu.

"Oh, no matter how many words it is, as long as you describe Miss Zhou properly." Yuan Ziyan crossed Erlang's legs, and Chu Ling'er and Yuzhu, who woke up slowly, couldn't help but steal fun.

Zhou Shanshan's face was flushed, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she asked: "Daxing is the national capital, how can the prosperous scenery be comparable to other places?" You have been in Luoyang for a long time, have you ever seen such a prosperous scene? ”
