Chapter 22: Homecoming
When Ru Yan and the others came out, they changed into men's clothes, although they were a little thin, they were still heroic and graceful. The group of Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info Cheng Hao were no longer there, Xuanshuang was still drinking, and Zifeng was bored with his fingers drawing circles on the table.
"Yo, what are you doing here?" Zifeng raised his head and saw Ru Yan dressed in men's clothes, and asked puzzledly, "But it's pretty good-looking, get me one too!" β
"Where's Cheng Gongzi?" Ru Yan asked.
"Driven away by this eldest sister!" Zifeng pointed at Xuanshuang.
"If you don't get rid of him, do you still want to keep him for the night?" Xuanshuang sneered at each other.
"Okay, as long as you are willing!" Seeing the situation, Zifeng ran over, put one hand around Xuan Shuang's neck, and leaned into her ear, "To be honest, I don't think Cheng Gongzi is very compatible with your bold and domineering temperament, why don't you do it well, let me?" β
"Go and go, if you like to take it, what does it have to do with me!"
The people on the side looked at them with a smile, and sometimes, the fight between Xuanshuang and Zifeng was also a way to entertain everyone.
At this time, Uncle Chen came over anxiously, "Miss, something happened!" β
Uncle Chen was stunned again when he suddenly saw Ru Yan in men's clothes, in this way, he was more similar to his son, and he was wondering why the young lady suddenly wore men's clothes. After thinking about it again, the young lady may be going back, and there are all kinds of prodigal children and ruffians along the way, and dressing up as a man can also save a lot of trouble, but it is also very convenient, so I didn't ask.
"What's wrong?" Xuanshuang and Zifeng asked in unison.
"All the officials outside have been put down with drugs!" Chen Bo replied.
"I'll take a look!" After Xuanshuang finished speaking, he walked outside.
"Xuanshuang, they just drank the wine mixed with the water of forgetting worries, it's okay!" The snowfall stopped Xuanshuang.
"Miss, what are you?" Uncle Chen asked puzzled.
"When they wake up, they will forget about the events of the last seven days, and of course they will regain their memories after a month, but by that time, they have already been assigned to the frontier." Ru Yan replied.
Uncle Chen didn't understand it even more, but he changed the topic and said, "Miss, I'll prepare a little and take the ashes of my son back to western Yunnan." How are you ......".
"Uncle Chen, are you drunk and drunk, where did you get the ashes when you stand in front of Uncle Chen, and call me son!" Ru Yan interrupted Uncle Chen.
"Miss, what are you talking nonsense?"
"You Yan don't understand what you're talking about," Ru Yan replied, and then turned to Min Shu and said, "Lord Min, report to the Criminal Department, the counselor Ouyang Yan colluded with Wang Lidu, the county commander of Zining County, to collude with the bandit Hu Wan to rob the imperial court disaster relief official silver, causing the inspector Chen Ruyan to fall off a cliff and be seriously injured. After that, Ouyang Yi killed Wang Lidu again, the master Kuang Huaizhi, and the bandit Hu Wan wiped out. Ouyang committed suicide in fear of crime, and the rest of the party was about the prison of Jinghuai Prefecture and waited for the fate. β
"Yes, Lord Chen!" Min Shu obediently obeyed.
"Miss, do you know what you're doing?" , Chen Bo was very anxious in his heart, and said to Ru Yan in a low voice, "This is the crime of bullying the king who wants to kill his head!" β
"Bully? I don't, okay, I'm Chen Ruyan, I'm seriously injured now and have to take leave to return to my hometown to recuperate! β
"But, you're obviously ......"
"The person who knows is dead, the rest is to lose his memory and his own people, and there is one who has taken our poison, I said that Lord Chen is just injured, he is just injured!" Ru Yan lowered her voice and said to Uncle Chen.
"You're naΓ―ve, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world?" Uncle Chen became even more anxious.
"Then wait until the day of the wind!"
"You...... Alas...... What a fool's errand, what a sin! β
"Uncle Chen, this is already the case, you can only relax!" The snow came to comfort me.
"Ahh......h Uncle Chen was still beating his chest in pain.
"Sister Ru Yan, I will always support you!" Hazy Moon also stepped forward.
Ru Yan smiled, "Good, but remember to change your name to Brother Ru Yan in the future, or Lord Chen, Gongzi Chen!" β
"Master Chen, I also support you!" Xuan Shuang and Ru Yan clapped their hands.
"So, from now on, you will be a majestic inspector, right? Then we are the four majestic catchers around the Inspector? Zifeng asked happily.
"No, you go back to the Valley of the Shadows!"
"What?" Xuanshuang, Purple Wind, and Hazy Moon asked in unison.
"I'm not going to implicate you!"
"Implicated, who are we with whom? Besides, when have we ever been afraid of being implicated, don't you? "It's the voice of the purple wind.
"Uh-huh!" Xuanshuang and Hazy Moon nodded repeatedly.
"I think it's okay, this time, I, Xuanshuang, and Zifeng will go back to Youming Valley first to ask for Master's meaning, and Hazy Moon will accompany Ru Yan back to western Yunnan, and I will have a good response along the way." Snowfall offers to.
"Then what if Master doesn't agree?" Purple Wind asked.
"Then we'll sneak out again!" Xuan Shuang said.
"I will explain the situation to Master one by one, Master and his old man are also sensible people!" , and then she turned her head to Ru Yan and said, "Including the doubts and purposes in your heart, I will also explain it to Master, and I believe Master can understand!" β
"Hmm!" Ru Yan nodded, "It's a blessing to meet you!" β
The soldiers were divided into three routes, and in the hazy moon, Ru Yan and Chen Bo returned to western Yunnan with Ru Yan's ashes; Purple wind, snowfall, Xuanshuang returned to the valley of Youming to go to the master; Min Shu stayed behind to take care of the rest, and Xue Xue promised to pass the antidote to him on time with a flying pigeon.
Since the weather was not early, the group set off early the next morning.
In the evening of the next day, Ru Yan and his party came to Guhuai Town.
Guhuai Town belongs to the southwest boundary, surrounded by mountains and low-lying in the middle. The direct result of this topography is the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Talents, money and money are gathered like flowing water to the low-lying flat land. And Guhuai Town is such a cornucopia. The southwest region is not rich, but Guhuai Town is a century-old commercial town, with rows of shops and a dazzling array of goods. The streets are full of crowded heads, grinding shoulders one after another, a thriving scene.
Gu Huaizhen is exactly what Hazy Moon wants, Hazy Moon feels that the fairyland of the god realm is nothing more than that, so many delicious, fun, and good-looking, she will not refuse to let her live here for the rest of her life.
When he first entered the town, Uncle Chen whispered to Ru Yan that Guhuai Town was crowded with people, and there were people of all religions and five ranks, so it was best not to be careful and not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The three of them entered an inn called "Taiping Inn" to rest.
The horses were fed in the stable, and the three of them entered the store and asked for two upper rooms, which were not very large, but also very elegant, and the window was the street. Ru Yan, open the window to let in the air, and below is the bustling crowd.
The first thing Haze Yue did when she entered the room was to spread out her limbs and fall on the bed, "Ah, it's so comfortable, I'm tired from rushing this day!" β
After a while, Ru Yan thought it was too noisy below, so she closed the window, returned to the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Brother Ru Yan," Ha Yue is now gradually familiar with this title, "Are you tired, do you want to come and lie down too?" β
"Don't lie down, get up!"
"I don't, I can't get up, hehe!"
"Really not up?"
"If I don't get up, I won't get up!" Hazy Moon rolls mischievously on the bed.
"Okay, then you lie on the bed, and by the way, you can still guard the baggage, I'll go next door and ask Uncle Chen to go down to dinner!"
"Eat? Ah, wait a minute, I'm going! Hazy Moon crawled up with a 'whoosh', still holding the burden in her arms.
"What are you doing?" Ru Yan asked.
"Let's go down and eat!"
"Just go down to dinner and bring your valuables, put these back!"
"Oh, okay!"
The three of them went downstairs and saw that the table at the door was just empty, so they sat down.
Xiao Er in the store was quite clever, and immediately came forward to beckon, Uncle Chen has always liked light, just ordered a pot of tea, a few steamed buns, Ru Yan asked Ha Yue to order the rest of the dishes, Ha Yue unceremoniously ordered a table of meat dishes.
After a while, the dishes were served, the color and flavor were complete, which made people drool, and the dishes were all authentic southwest characteristics, and the portions were sufficient.
Ha Yue lost the chopsticks in her hand, opened the bow directly left and right, and ripped off a chicken leg with one hand, taking a bite on the left and then a bite on the right.
"How long has it been since you had eaten meat?" Ru Yan asked her.
"This ...... Well...... It's not a matter of time, the key is ...... The point is, how can those big pot dishes made by officials and men compare with this? Well...... It's delicious...... Would you like to have a few bites? Hazy Moon's mouth stuffed with meat began to speak.
"Eat more!" Ru Yan touched Hazy Moon's head.
"Is this place really unattended? Is it so blatant? Ru Yan motioned to Uncle Chen with her eyes to look at the staircase on the second floor.
Hazy Moon raised her head and looked in the direction of Ru Yan's eyes, and exclaimed, "Thief, that man is stealing!" β
It was too late for Ru Yan to reach out and cover her mouth.
At that time, the lean man in the back was using two fingers to clip the fat man's money bag in front of him. Hearing Hazy Moon's exclamation, he seemed to be startled, and the money bag in his hand flew out with a shake. The fat man in front turned around and found all this, angrily grabbed the placket of the man behind him, and punched him. The lean man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but it was still not good. He was picked up by the fat man and thrown out.
This flight was just enough, but he flew towards Ru Yan's table impartially, and smashed on the table with a "bang". The three of them hurriedly got up but still suffered, and the vegetable juice on the table splashed all over them.
"Ah...... What do you do? "Hazy Moon was angry not for spilling her clothes, but for ruining her good food, and what she hated most was people who spoiled food, especially very good food.
The fat man was still angry, walked over and grabbed the person on the ground, and was about to hit again, "Damn, I've blinded your dog eyes and stole Uncle Ben's money!" β
"Who said it was your money? It's obviously my money, but I just didn't hold it steady! The lean man retorted.
"You're talking nonsense, I obviously saw your ......!" Hazy Moon doesn't want to, there are still such cunning people in this world, these are all stolen and dare to quibble. However, before she finished her words, she was blocked by Ru Yan.
Just then, the door slammed shut and bolted.
