15. Bad news
Zhuang Cheng hoped that the fanfare search in Panshan would make Zhuang Shuo take the initiative to show up, or scare her away from Zhuang's mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThere are two other Lian Jiazi who are not enemies who have gone to search for places that are more likely to be found, and Zhuang Shuo is not worried that Zhuang Shuo will be scared and lose the news. He firmly believed that without Wu Fu, it was only a matter of time before Zhuang Shuo, who couldn't get out of Yuanqing Town, returned to his side. As a result, he waited for the news that Zhuang Shuo was very likely to leave Dawu.
Zhuang Cheng knew very well, not to mention the Yi clan realm outside of Dawu, in addition to being able to find a way to maneuver in Yuanqing Town, in any other town, he would only be a useless scholar. What's more, north of Yuanqing Town is the boundary of Tiele. Even the three-year-old child of Da Wu knew that Tiele and the merchants had always had a tendency to show off Han slaves. The people of Dawu fell to Tiele, and the best thing for women was to be called as a companion of the Han people, and if the man had skills, he was at most a slave who could follow his master. Thousands of years of ethnic conflict have long made Tiele regard the Han people as mortal enemies. No matter how much the enemy can use it, he can't escape the fate of staying in the livestock shed at night and showing off as a rare bird during the day. If Zhuang Shuo really entered the realm of Tiele, even Emperor Wu would not be able to save her!
In the absolutely secluded house of Panshan Nunnery, Zhuang Cheng, who was alone in the face of the two practitioners, had no fear, only disbelief.
"Maybe it's not her!" With his hands clasped tightly under the table, Zhuang Cheng raised his head and said to the two men hiding in the shadows opposite: "I just heard from the villagers that a family took in a young girl on the day of the accident, and it may not be the person we are looking for." She is only eleven years old, and she is the daughter of a big house. From childhood to adulthood, the number of times she has been out of the backyard has been counted on one hand, how can she be out of Dawu? ā
"We scared the man in the family and said something." Looking at Zhuang Cheng's face carefully, the man replied truthfully: "Both husband and wife said that the woman had skin injuries all over her body, and her appearance was quite beautiful. It's just that the behavior is very frightened, and I can't see everyone's demeanor. ā
"It's strange that she's an eleven-year-old girl who has just escaped, and she can still behave in a moderation!" After shouting these words, Zhuang Cheng was shocked to realize his gaffe. He took a few deep breaths, and sighed in pain: "Neither of you is a subordinate, and if you can be sent so far by the owner to do this kind of thing, you must act safely." I lost my temper just now, and I ask you to forgive me and inform you of the specific truth. ā
Only then did a man step out of the shadows and slowly tell Zhuang Cheng everything he knew. When he said that the old woman had taught the escaped girl to return to Yuanqing Town along the city wall, Zhuang Cheng was completely calm.
The gate of Yuanqing Town, which leads to Waiyi, is guarded by the people of the town government. Although it is difficult for Zhuang Cheng to avoid his father and brother and let the officials pay attention to Zhuang Shuo, it is better to wait for the rabbit than to find no trace.
Zhuang Cheng couldn't help but look forward to the "girl" in the man's mouth was Zhuang Shuo.
He got up in a hurry, intending to immediately handle the affairs of the town gate through the accompanying officials, but his careful thinking made him stop in front of the door.
"Have you gone to see where the girl has fled?" Seeing that the two men hesitated for a moment, he unceremoniously half-commanded and half-reminded: "The two of you are highly skilled, you should go to the wild city wall where the girl fled to have a look." If the two of them are deeply grateful to the owner, it is safer to go all the way. ā
Although it was not a direct owner, Zhuang Cheng's prudence still made the two men nod.
"Let's go to the last two villages and check them out. If nothing is found, then act according to the instructions of Zhuang Gongzi. Seeing Zhuang Cheng raise his eyebrows, one of the men hurriedly added: "It's just two villages, it's fast for my brother." ā
Zhuang Cheng was conflicted and didn't know what to say.
On the one hand, he really hoped that the girl who crossed the Wild Great Wall was Zhuang Shuo. If all goes well, Zhuang Shuo will be able to appear at the gate of the town tomorrow at the latest. On the one hand, he was worried about the situation outside the country. The difference between inside and outside the gate is by no means a wall, and the vast Saiwai has always been in the hands of the king of Waiyi, who only knows how to fight but does not know how to operate. I never know how to operate in a foreign land, not to mention the harsh climate, and the folk customs are also extremely bold. If Zhuang Shuo, who is delicate and expensive, falls into the hands of Tiele people who don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, God knows what will become.
No! Zhuang Cheng said in his heart: Shuo'er will be fine. She was able to escape with her mother's careful arrangement, and she would never encounter an accident in a foreign land close to the Great Wall.
"There's two of them." Zhuang Cheng Shi saluted and left, still not asking who the owner behind the other party was.
If the two Lian Jiazi followed Liu Ting's escape route as soon as possible, they might be able to save Liu Ting, who broke her leg. Unfortunately, the two men, who had found nothing in other villages, followed Aunt Qiang's guidance, and when they arrived at the Wild Great Wall, they only found a thick rope tied to the side of the city wall.
Although the weather is good, you can see the bottom of the Great Wall when you poke your head out. Stretching their necks, they saw yellow sand and ropes that were definitely not long enough to reach the bottom. Even Liu Ting fell from mid-air, and the blood stains left on the ground were ruthlessly buried by the yellow sand outside the plug.
For Liu Ting, who was already injured, although the pain of breaking her leg from the air was so strong that she couldn't help but scream, it didn't completely crush herself.
After all, Liu Ting is not the real Zhuang Shuo, and she is not the lady who regards the backyard of the house as the world. Zhuang Shuo, who broke his leg, could only wait for death in place, and Liu Ting, who felt that he was already separated from the danger by a Great Wall, only rested in place for a while, and then began to crawl towards the east.
She remembered Aunt Qiang's instructions, and the woman who had been deceived by her lies told her: "Walk along the city wall for about two hours, and you will see the first beacon with garrisons." After walking for half an hour, it is the entrance of Yuanqing Town. It is dangerous outside the plug and cannot be stayed for a long time. ā
If you stay where you are, you will only die, but when you reach the town gate, you can live. The belief in survival supported Liu Ting to drag her broken leg and climb forward along the Great Wall with no end in sight. When she noticed two burdens not far in front of her, she was sure she hadn't climbed too far.
The sour arms and the exquisite baggage that shouldn't have appeared in the wilderness made Liu Ting subconsciously stop moving. She looked at the bulging baggage a little confused, and felt a sense of foreboding. Before he could raise his head, a bold male voice came from a high place.
"I didn't think there would be an unexpected gain on this trip." Zawa, who was holding the rope and climbing in the air, lifted his chin and said to the two servants hanging below him: "This kid will also be brought back as horse money." ā
Liu Ting, who couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, was gagged by the two Yi clans. Eyes wide with pain and fear,
In addition to seeing more parcels and even iron pots, weapons and other objects falling to the ground, I also saw Zava's greedy smile. The stout man with a beard on his face squatted beside her, looked at it for a moment as if he were looking at goods, and without hesitation, picked up the iron pot at hand and hit it with a blow.
