Chen Qiuniang knelt on the ground for a long time, and Zhang Cicai shouted loudly: "Someone, escort this woman to the small tent next to her and take strict care." Immediately outside the door, two guards came to drag her.

Chen Qiuniang immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't, I'm still a girl, don't pull me." I'm numb in my legs now, let me slow down, I'll walk on my own. ”

The two guards looked at Zhang Ci. Zhang Ci said, "Let her be, you first pack up the bedding and blanket and bring them with her." ”

"Yes." When the two guards got the order, they put away the blankets and bedding of the guest seat where Chen Qiuniang was just now and took them out of the tent. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the tent.

Chen Qiuniang beat her numb legs and feet, and said to Zhang Ci: "Thank you Gongzi for your success." ”

"If you have any tricks, you will regret coming to this world." He chuckled, as if he were talking about something commonplace.

"Su Ying just wants to find shelter and arrive at the Yuzhou dock safely." She replied.

"If you are safe, I can treat you as a guest and escort you for a ride." He said.

Chen Qiuniang bowed prostrate and said, "Thank you for your son's love, Su Ying will definitely live up to her son's good intentions." ”

Zhang Ci didn't say anything else. The two guards went back and forth, asking Chen Qiuniang if she could walk. Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said that she was still a little numb. Zhang Ci waved his hand and said, "You can go to Mrs. Chen first and get the baggage." ”

The two men were commanded, and at once they hurried out of the tent, and in a few moments they returned, saying, "The girl's baggage has been placed in her little tent." ”

"Stand down, keep watch." Zhang Ci waved his hand.

It seems that there is no need to recognize each other in advance. Chen Qiuniang looked at Zhang Ci, who closed his eyes on the main throne and breathed a sigh of relief.

The small tent is next to Zhang Ci's big tent, a veritable small tent, about the size of a sleeping bag plus a desk. The blanket and bedding had been laid out, and the blanket was still spread on a bamboo mat, and a plate of pastries and a hot tea were placed on the table.

"That's what Childe rewarded you." The guards who brought her to the guard pointed to the food and water.

Chen Qiuniang saw that the pastry was brought up by Zhang Ci when he was watching the sunrise on the top of the mountain that day, according to him, he made it himself, the kind she liked very much. As for this pot of tea, it is Ming Qian tea, which is the method she made at the banquet of the wealthy family, presumably after he took a stake in Yunlai Hotel, he personally studied this technique. She remembered that Zhang Ci actually liked to cook and cook. He said disdainfully: "The gentleman and the kitchen are all hypocritical villains. I think the most beautiful thing in the world is food. Research out delicious food, and I will become happy too. When I'm cooking, I feel very calm and feel like that's life. ”

At that time, they were by the small river at the foot of Er'e Mountain, surrounded by streamers, and in their hands were fragrantly grilled fish. At that moment, Chen Qiuniang listened to him talk about foodies very firmly, and she really had the urge to burst into tears. This spanned thousands of years, in another time and space, I met a handsome man who was cold, and then I knew that he was a foodie like myself, and the feeling was instantly sour.

Today, there are her favorite pastries on the table, the kind of Ming Qian tea she likes to drink the most. I don't know why, but she felt scared: what did it mean to give this cake to a woman she didn't know, could it be that he already knew who she was? But there is no reason, Su Qingyuan said that her disguise technique is already very proficient, so she was allowed to go down the mountain, Zhang Ci categorically couldn't see her appearance.

But this is Zhang Ci, the heir of the Zhang family, and the patriarch of the nine major families. He learned all kinds of strategies from an early age, and learned to be ruthless to people. He came out of countless deceits, and survived countless open guns and hidden arrows. How could he be merciful to a woman of unknown origin, how could he give a woman of unknown origin pastries and tea, and give such a good place to live? And also sent her package.

Chen Qiuniang stroked the burden with her hand and couldn't help but close her eyes. She was almost certain that Zhang Ci recognized her.

Now, no matter what, I want to see him again. Otherwise, she really can't sleep. So, she Shi Shiran got up, leaned out from the door of the tent and whispered to the guard: "Little brother, please spread the news, I have something important to report to my son." ”

"The son has explained, the girl has eaten pastries and tea and rested, and she has to hurry tomorrow." The guard replied.

"Childe confessed?" Chen Qiuniang asked suspiciously.

The guard nodded slightly and said, "Childe just explained, if the girl asks to see Childe, she will tell the girl." ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, and she already understood that this person was afraid that she really knew who she was. His move was to tell her: Don't play tricks, see that I have no last resort for you, and even the fact that you will see me again, I have calculated it.

"Then there's Brother Lao." Chen Qiuniang nodded slightly to the guard and returned the salute, then lowered the door curtain, walked to the table by his own, and decided to enjoy the arrangement arranged by Zhang Ergongzi. So I ate pastries, drank tea, lay down on a soft blanket, covered with a warm bedding, and fell asleep.

On the second day, Chen Qiuniang slept until she woke up naturally. Seriously, it's been a long time since she's slept so deeply. Maybe it was because she knew that Zhang Ci's tent was next to her, or maybe it was because she was too tired to travel this day, in short, she slept very deeply. So, by the time she woke up naturally, the sun in the mountains had already climbed high.

Chen Qiuniang was dressed neatly, and when she walked out of the tent, no one stopped her. She went to the stream not far away to wash her face, combed a simple ponytail at random, and then looked around, looking for Zhang Ci's figure.

The guards stood up straight, and the patrolling guards came and went. The maids were bored and chatted together. Zhang Ci and Lu Chen's figures really didn't see it.

"It's almost noon, why don't you pull it out?" When Chen Qiuniang passed by the crowd, she heard a small guy talking in a low voice.

"Who knows what the master thinks." Someone whispered again.

"If you start early in the morning, you will arrive in Yuzhou for three days at most, but if you want to stop and go like this, I am afraid that you may not be able to reach Yuzhou in ten days and a half months." One of the little guys also shook his head, and there was a lot of resentment in his tone.

"If you haven't met the eldest prince, how can you drag it out like this? What Mrs. and Son hate the most is sleeping in the open. A girl pouted and said, "Now I have to listen to the eldest prince everywhere." And the eldest prince seems to want to listen to that Zhang Gongzi everywhere. ”

"yes, I saw it too. The eldest prince was polite to that son, and he didn't know where it was sacred. Another guy joined the group in the conversation.

The disgruntled little guy from before said: "It must be the sister-in-law of the eldest prince's mother's family, otherwise, our eldest prince doesn't need to be so humble." ”

"The humble and not the humble are secondary, and the most important thing is the one who, for some reason, will not be uprooted." A middle-aged coachman joined in.

Chen Qiuniang walked all the way, and listened to some complaints, all of which were saying that Zhang Ci would not pull out and delay the trip.

She washed her face, but she didn't see Zhang Ci, and she was still a prisoner in theory. So, she didn't go far, washed her face and went straight back to her little tent. It's just that Chen Qiuniang lifted the curtain of the tent and stacked the bedding in the tent neatly. After doing this, she said to the guard standing at the door: "Little brother, I want to see Gongzi, I don't know if I can pass it on my behalf." ”

"It's really unfortunate that Childe went hunting. Before leaving, he told him that if the girl asked, he would let you wait here for him to come back, and not to go away. The guard replied to Chen Qiuniang.

This guy is still holding it! Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips, put down the curtain of the tent, took out a large cake from her baggage and broke a small piece, ready to fill her stomach with the water in the kettle she carried with her.

Before the first bite was down, I heard Mrs. Chen say outside the tent: "The two eldest brothers have worked hard, I will bring some food to this girl." ”

"Bold, she is a nobleman, how can she eat the things of your rough mother-in-law, and leave quickly." The guard shouted. Mrs. Chen was startled and muttered, "What's wrong with my mother-in-law?" She squeezed into a tent with me last night. For a while, I was favored by my son, so I took the shelf. ”

"Get out of here or you'll be kicked out at once." The guard shouted.

Where did Mrs. Chen dare to stay, she immediately begged for mercy and said: "The villain will leave immediately, leave immediately, don't be angry." ”

After Mrs. Chen was driven away, Chen Qiuniang couldn't eat. She already understood from the conversation between Mrs. Chen and the guards: Now the people in the entire convoy, except for Lu Chen, everyone else thinks that she was taken by Zhang Ci and was favored last night. Today, the identity is different.

I don't know what this trick Zhang Ci played. Chen Qiuniang couldn't guess for a while. Outside the door, the voice of the guard shouting "Childe" sounded.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, still holding the cake in her hand, and heard Zhang Ci say, "Bring her to my tent." ”

Then the two guards at the door opened the curtain and said, "Girl, the son wants to see you, come here." ”

Chen Qiuniang answered, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Zhang Ci's tent. Zhang Ci was still the only one in the tent, and the tables of the main and guest seats were placed with roasted golden and crisp birds and hares, as well as fine tea.

"Sit." Zhang Ci pointed to the guest seat, and then took a thin blade to cut rabbit meat and eat, and the action was very elegant.

Chen Qiuniang was hungry, so she sat down unceremoniously, took the thin blade prepared next to her, and asked while cutting rabbit meat: "Childe gave me this blade, aren't you afraid that I will stab you?" ”

"You can't bear it." He said this without raising his head.

"My son and I have never lived in life, how can I be reluctant. Childe was really joking. Chen Qiuniang smiled. R1152
