In the past, the days always passed very slowly, it was easy, there was no pressure on myself, I ate when I wanted, I drank when I wanted, and I never felt that I couldn't do it.

When was that old days...... It's when Ma Yue was still a poor barehead and no one was waiting for him.

Slowly, there are many servants waiting around, and there is no need to worry about anything, what you have to do every day is to practice bows and horses and learn weapons, like a young master of a prince and aristocratic family, who only thinks about how to kill.

He had almost forgotten how he was going to live.

No matter how big the hatred in his heart is, Ma Yue doesn't dare to go to Jing County now, so he can only take Cai Yan to hurry during the day and sleep in the open at night, so he walked for seven days, and Ma Yue went around Danyang County.

Entered the boundaries of Huiji County.

It's raining these days, and even though Ma Yue gave Cai Yan everything he had, Cai Yan was still sick, his forehead was hot and scary, and he slept more and woke less.

Ma Yue panicked.

He had an iron spear made of fine iron, a piece of cloth armor inlaid with bearskins, a bronze dagger, and a bad horse.

The most valuable thing on the whole body is the three-color green ribbon that His Majesty gave him when he was the first lieutenant, which symbolizes the 2,000-stone official.

Cai Yan couldn't stand the bumps of the horses, Ma Yue could only carry Cai Yan on his back and lead the horse step by step on the muddy official road.

But he kept it, and there was no food, and there was no healer.

Those things all cost money, and Ma Yue didn't have a lot of money on him.

Placing Cai Yan in the pavilion, Ma Yue, who was so depressed that he ran out of ammunition and food, walked out of the door with an iron spear.

Under the tree next to the official road, he clenched his iron spear and sat and watched the merchant travelers who came and went, and a moment passed, two moments passed, and an hour passed...... He couldn't make up his mind.

An hour later, Ma Yue walked into the city of Xiaoshan County, Huiji County, and returned to the pavilion with the doctor to treat Cai Yan.

When Cai Yan opened his eyes again, Ma Yue was sleeping on the side of the bed in a short shirt worn by a peasant, and the smell of cooking soup outside the pavilion was a little choking.

Dizzy and his throat burned like fire, Cai Yan propped up his arms and wanted to sit up, but he woke up Ma Yue, who was lying on the side of the bed.

Ma Yue frowned, his bloodshot eyes instantly stretched after seeing Cai Yan wake up, and said happily with a warm smile on his face: "Yan'er, you finally woke up, how do you feel, are you still dizzy?" ”

"Much better." Cai Yan shook his head, but felt dizzy.

Ma Yue hurriedly put his palm on the forehead of the second important person to feel the temperature, and then finally put his mind at ease and said: "The fever has subsided, and it should be fine after a few more days of rest." You must be thirsty, I'll go get some water. ”

Ma Yue got up and wanted to go out, looking at his back, a smile appeared on Cai Yan's face.

But then, she noticed that the three-color green ribbon on Ma Yue's waist was gone!

After a while, Ma Yue came back with a bowl of water, handed it to her mouth with a smile and said, "Come, drink water." ”

Cai Yan took a sip and asked, "Where is your ribbon?" ”

"Heh, you said ribbons." Ma Yue looked down at his waist and said with a smile: "Look at my cloth clothes, what kind of ribbon and hemp rope I wear." ”

Cai Yan pursed his lips and asked faintly: "Pavilion, decoction, and food, ...... this money?"

She was so smart, Ma Yue spread out his palm and said, "I sold the ribbon, that thing is the last thing I need now, in exchange for five thousand dollars, it's very good." ”

"Your Majesty's ribbon has been sold...... If anyone knows that you have exchanged Your Majesty's reward for money, do you know what those people in the court will say about you? ”

"I don't care." Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders indifferently, got up and said, "The medicine is about to be fried, I'll serve it to you." ”

Cai Yan knows the difficulties now, but what she doesn't understand is the difficulty for Ma Yue.

When he was most destitute, Ma Yue stared at the iron spear in his hand, and the first thought that came to his mind was to go out and kill people and goods. Moreover, in the end, it was not because of the discovery of conscience, but simply because he found that the ribbon on his body might be able to be sold, and it was necessary to solve the urgent need.

Otherwise, don't talk about robbing, Cai Yan has a high fever and is helpless, it doesn't matter if he wants to kill someone.

It's a pity that he himself doesn't have any prestige in the south, otherwise he would be able to avenge the enmity between Heifu and Uncle Liu.

In this south, he only knows one Sun Jian, and it is not difficult to say that he can borrow soldiers from his family with a little friendship, but the problem is that Sun Jian is now far away in Luoyang to serve as Sima of the Zuojun...... Doesn't help at all.

After resting in Huiji County, Cai Yan's illness was cured, and Ma Yue used the remaining money to buy some food, bought a bad horse double-wheel car, and took Cai Yan on the road again.

The iron spear that had been with him for a long time was also sold by him, and he replaced it with a short knife and a hunting bow for self-defense. Although the iron spear is fine, the hand-to-hand combat is not up to the short knife, who knows what difficulties and obstacles are still on the remaining road, Ma Yue must always be fully prepared.

All the way to the light car, when the line to Taihu Lake, only to see the tourists weaving, this is a good time in August, Ma Yue and Cai Yan stayed here for a few days.

On this day, Ma Yue met a very interesting person.

On the bank of the Taihu Lake, Ma Yue and Cai Yan sat on the ground, during which the ingredients were purchased, and during the meal, Ma Yue saw a group of people on the opposite side with very distinct clothes and armor, and the ships were tied to the anchor with splendid embroidery on the lake, and they gathered on the boat to drink, which looked very extravagant.

"What are you looking at?"

Cai Yan saw Ma Yue looking intently at the distance and asked questions, Ma Yue came back to his senses and smiled: "Look over there, the sails on those people's ships are all Shu brocade, and the attendants are also full of splendor, which is really rich." ”

Cai Yan turned her head and looked at it twice and didn't look at it anymore, just lowered her head to eat, she was pure and had few desires, and she didn't value material enjoyment.

Ma Yue saw that Cai Yan was not interested, so he laughed dryly and stopped looking over there, but turned his head to chat with Cai Yan about other things. There have been many difficulties and dangers along the way, there have been gains and losses, and the biggest gain is that the relationship with Cai Yan has heated up rapidly, and now there are almost no false names in the dialogue between the two of them, and there is a tacit understanding that quietly sprouts between the two.

After a short time, Ma Yue and Cai Yan began to pack up their things after eating, they planned to leave Taihu Lake today, and then walk north along the official road for a few days to enter the boundary of Wu County, and Cai Yong should be found before September.

Ma Yue couldn't help but think that when Simin was able to speak, Lang Gu Yong, a young man who controlled three horses by one person, had also grown up at that time, and he didn't know how romantic he was.

Just when the two of them were about to set off, they suddenly came from a knight in brocade clothes on the riverside, rolled the saddle and dismounted, looked at Ma Yue, and then said in a Shu accent: "This strong man, my master invites you to get on the boat and get together." ”

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, what is your master's name?"

Ma Yue frowned, he looked at it, in fact, Ma Yue was very reluctant to get involved in trouble now, and the owner of the brocade sailboat, no matter how he looked at it, did not look like a person who had nothing to do with trouble.

He is past the age when his eyes are hot when he sees a fierce general, and he understands very clearly that how fierce a person is, means how dangerous that person is.

――――――――――――――
