Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange People on the Road
Xiao Feiqing stared at Yu Ruyan worriedly and said, "Ruyan, I will go back with the emperor tomorrow, you are careful in everything." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info everything...... On the premise of protecting yourself, okay? Even if it's ...... For Tang Yunluo. ”
Yu Ruyan nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, I will." ”
Seeing off Zhao Wenzheng and Xiao Feiqing, Yu Ruyan began to pack up her salutes. Chu Yang could vaguely guess what Yu Ruyan was going to do, but Chu Yang wouldn't ask about this kind of thing, and Yu Ruyan wouldn't say it either.
With the idea of avenging Tang Yunluo, Yu Ruyan firmly embarked on a journey to the state of Chu.
"General Chu, when are you going back?" Yu Ruyan asked before leaving.
Chu Yang said: "Soon, yesterday the emperor told me that I will be able to go back next month." You...... Take care on the road. ”
Yu Ruyan nodded, raised a smiling face, and said, "These days, thank you General Chu for taking care of you." I'm gone, you take care too. ”
Sitting in the carriage, Yu Ruyan closed her eyes and leaned on the car, and when she opened it again, her eyes were only cold.
From Mobei to Chu in the south, I walked all the way for nearly a month.
The state of Chu is in the south of the Central Plains, and compared to the north of the desert, which is still icy and snowy, it has already bloomed in spring. The person who took Yu Ruyan was the secret guard in the Imperial Forest Army, put Yu Ruyan in the suburbs, and after getting out of the car, he said: "University scholar, in front of you is the gate of Jinling, the capital of Chu State, I can only send you here." ”
"Thank you for taking care of you, take care of yourself all the way." Yu Ruyan said.
"Take care of the scholars."
Watching the carriage go away, Yu Ruyan took advantage of the dense woods as a cover, changed into tattered clothes, and wiped some mud on her face, pretending to flee here.
After changing her clothes, Yu Ruyan walked towards the city gate with her tattered baggage, and her arm was accidentally scratched by a branch on the side, and a bloody cut was made in an instant.
"Hiss......" Yu Ruyan frowned slightly, but seeing that the scratch was not very serious, she didn't care.
"Little girl, you don't want to die!" A voice came from behind her, startling Yu Ruyan.
Yu Ruyan looked back and saw a man in his fifties standing behind her. This person has an ugly appearance and a strange expression, which makes Yu Ruyan feel a little wary.
"Who are you?" Yu Ruyan asked coldly.
The man didn't answer, he dragged Yu Ruyan's scratched arm, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his body and sprinkled it on Yu Ruyan's wound and said, "That one is poisonous, if you don't clean it up in time, your arm will be red and swollen." ”
Yu Ruyan pulled back her arm anxiously and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Me? Naturally a good person. ”
Yu Ruyan looked at him warily, and her body began to retreat. The man followed behind him unhurriedly, Yu Ruyan walked a few steps, turned to look at the man and asked, "Why have you been following me?" ”
"I'm going to enter Jinling City!" The man said, "There's only one way here, you can go, I can't?" ”
Yu Ruyan raised her vigilance and kept her distance from the man. The man also seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from Yu Ruyan, and kept following behind him unhurriedly.
When she arrived in Jinling City, it was getting late, and Yu Ruyan found a very inconspicuous shop to live in. The man followed him and lived in the same shop.
Yu Ruyan has always been vigilant, and she also pays attention to the movement outside when she sleeps at night.
When she was about to fall asleep, Yu Ruyan heard someone knock on the door. After getting up, Yu Ruyan quietly picked up the candlestick on the table, slowly walked to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
A familiar voice came from the door: "Yunruo, it's me." ”
"Great Khan?" Yu Ruyan asked in surprise, opened the door and looked, only to see Hu Qitu standing outside the door.
"Yunruo, I've finally found you." Hu Qitu said with a smile.
Yu Ruyan looked at Hu Qitu in surprise and asked, "Great Khan, how are you ...... Why did you come to Chu State? ”
Hu Qitu looked left and right for a while, and then he entered the door and pulled Yu Ruyan and said, "Yunruo, be quiet, I don't want others to know my identity." ”
Yu Ruyan closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Great Khan, you haven't answered me yet, what are you doing in Chu State?" ”
"I'm here to find you in the Chu Kingdom, Yun Ruo." Hu Qitu went straight in with a single knife, which scared Yu Ruyan for a moment.
Yu Ruyan frowned and asked, "What are you doing in Chu to find me?" ”
Hu Qitu sighed lightly and said, "Half a month ago, I found out that you were gone, and I asked Chu Yang in private, but he refused to say. I guessed you must have gone somewhere. I sent spies to inquire around, and only then did I find out that you have come to Chu on the border between Chen and Chu. So I followed. ”
Yu Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "I don't care what you are doing in Jinling, but you go back to Mobei now." ”
"Why?" Huqitu asked, "I know I can't keep you, but don't push me away, I'll go wherever you go." ”
Yu Ruyan sat weakly on the stool, looked at Huqitu and said, "Great Khan, are you alone?" You have the people of your tribe, you have brothers who are fighting to the death with you, and no matter how bad it is, you still have wives and children. You let them go and follow me to Jinling, have you ever thought that I will feel comfortable in my heart? ”
"You're so disgusted with me?" Hu Qitu looked at Yu Ruyan sadly.
Yu Ruyan stroked her forehead with a headache and said, "Great Khan, it's not that I hate you, it's that you can't stay in the Chu State, let alone stay by my side." I came to Chu this time...... Anyway, you better go back. ”
Hu Qitu said: "Actually, you suddenly disappeared from Mobei this time and came to Chu again, I can probably guess the reason why you came here." ”
Yu Ruyan sighed: "With the wisdom of the Great Khan, I can naturally guess. Now that you've guessed, you know how dangerous it is to stay with me. Great Khan, go back. ”
"I'm not going to put you in danger." Huqitu said firmly, "Trust me, I will protect you." ”
Yu Ruyan couldn't hold back a little, stood up, and said in a low voice as much as possible: "Great Khan, what about your tribesmen?" Don't you want anything, don't you care about anything? ”
"In my eyes, you are the most important." Hu Qitu looked at Yu Ruyan deeply.
Yu Ruyan clenched her fists, and she didn't want to argue with Hu Qitu anymore, so she had to say: "I'm very tired now, you go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Okay, you can go to sleep quickly." Hu Qitu saw that Yu Ruyan's face changed slightly, and he said busily.
After Hu Qitu left, Yu Ruyan instantly made the decision to leave here. After quietly tidying up in the house, and going out to see that no one was passing by, Yu Ruyan left the inn lightly.
According to the road map memorized in advance, Yu Ruyan found the Qin Mansion in Jinling, the home of Qin Yuan. At this time, it was dark, and Yu Ruyan could only hide near the Qin Mansion and pretend to sleep against the wall for a while.
As if it was just a matter of closing her eyes, Yu Ruyan heard movement in the Qin Mansion, presumably the subordinates of the Qin Mansion had already started to get up and do things. Yu Ruyan knew that there was no further ado, so she quickly wiped some dirt on her face again, messed up her hair, and fell in front of the back door of the Qin Mansion.
With a "squeak", the door opened, and the subordinates of the Qin Mansion poked their heads out.
"Oh, I'm scared to death!" A middle-aged woman went out and saw Yu Ruyan fainting at the door, startled and screamed.
"What's wrong, Mama Zhang?"
Zhang's mother stood at the corner door with a basin and called: "It's really bad luck to meet someone who asks for food early in the morning, and it scared me." (To be continued.) )
