"Here we are." The young man stood still around the corner and pointed to Zhang's mansion.

Chen Qiuniang said "um", but she stopped, standing in the shadow of the high wall around the corner, looking around.

At this time, when she came here, Chen Qiuniang was actually a little hesitant. Although saving the young man named Zhang Ci is definitely a big turning point in his life, saving him is also full of dangers, and it is likely that if he is not careful, he will immediately be in a different place, and I am afraid that it will affect the Chen family and even the entire Liu Village. After all, from the conversations of the men in black who chased and killed Zhang Ci, Chen Qiuniang not only saw Zhang Ci's seemingly powerful family's good identity, but also saw that the origin of his enemy family was by no means simple. It seems that this should be a political purge or a clash of the elite. This kind of struggle for the government of the powerful is the most dangerous, terrifying, and darkest of all the struggles in the world.

Since this is the most ferocious battle, then the other party can chase and kill Zhang Ci in the mountains for a few days, and will not stop until the goal is achieved, and the same can be densely covered around this "Zhang Mansion", maybe there may be traitors within the Zhang family.

It is indeed too dangerous for me to send a letter in such a loud and stupid way. If it is discovered, I am afraid that it will immediately be in a different place, and at the same time, it may also affect the Chen family, and it may also affect Liucun on a larger scale.

At this moment, all the novel passages of open and secret battles that Chen Qiuniang had pulled came to mind.

Although it is said that "wealth and danger are sought", however, life is also precious

Chen Qiuniang was still struggling with ideas, and the young man next to her asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh. It's okay. Chen Qiuniang then remembered that there was such a northland boy standing next to her. At such a dangerous moment, you can't selfishly pull this kid away, you have to send him away. Think about it in the long term and think of a foolproof plan.

So, she paused and said, "The steamed buns are cold, it's almost noon, and the people waiting for you must be hungry." Go back. ”

When the young man heard her say this, he immediately frowned, and looked at her with complicated eyes, surprised, defensive, and scrutinized. Chen Qiuniang even saw the yin skull in his bright eyes.

I'll go, this baby's eyes with a super sense of disobedience, how can it make the old lady's back flutter? Could it be that this kid is actually pretending to be a beggar to spy on Zhang's mansion, right?

Chen Qiuniang instantly made up this possibility, and felt more and more that this possibility was too great. First of all, this baby is from the north; Secondly, according to her judgment, this baby is definitely from an extraordinary background.

If so-

Well, this is definitely the rhythm of the annual conspiracy drama, and you are extremely dangerous. If he accidentally knows about it, he will be cannon fodder in an instant, and he will live up to the golden years given by God.

If he is an impostor, he cannot be let know the purpose of his coming to Zhang's Mansion; If he wasn't a pretender, but was simply a northland boy living in Zhongshan Town, Shu, she couldn't let him know and drag him into a dangerous situation.

Bottom line: no matter what, don't let him know the purpose of her trip.

He must be sent away as much as possible. It's just how to get rid of it. The way he asked him to send steamed buns to his relatives just now doesn't seem to work. Chen Qiuniang was thinking about how to send away the northland boy in front of her, but she heard him suddenly ask, "Are you afraid?" ”

This unprovoked question, although Chen Qiuniang's face was quite steady, pretending to be puzzled, she was already horrified in her heart: is he pointing something and deliberately tempting? Is this plot really the bloodiest one?

Chen Qiuniang tried her best to make her application look extremely confused, and just looked at him. His face was scarred, his blood had congealed, his messy hair was fluttering in the wind, his expression was cold and calm, and his eyes were still bright.

"If you're afraid—" he said softly, looking a little cramped, and then paused again, pursed his lips, and then added, "If you're afraid of dealing with those people in the high gate compound—I'll send it for you." ”

It turns out that he said that he was afraid of this! Chen Qiuniang's tense nerves were relaxed, and she couldn't help wailing in her heart: Your uncle, scared me to death.

However, she thought about it: it seems that she can't let her guard down, right? In this case, the plot of TV series novels will be reversed. Besides, it is very dangerous to help Zhang Ci in this matter, if he does it, he will lose his life if he is not careful.

Therefore, we have to let him go quickly, and we can't let him get involved. But how?

After the young man finished delivering the letter for her, when he saw that she did not respond, he stood side by side with her, waiting for her to answer. At that time, there was a cool wind passing through the narrow alleys. Beyond the alley, the sunlight glittered with gold and shattered to the ground.

Chen Qiuniang was still racking her brains and organizing the wording. , but the young man suddenly changed the subject: "Who is your fiancé?" ”

Hey? Is this an account check? Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help answering, so she had to say: "It is said to be the Zhu family in Zhenkou." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately frowned, twisted his wound painfully, gritted his teeth and eased slightly, before pointing to a small alley next to him, and said: "You can go out of here in a while, turn right and go straight, cross an arched bridge, go straight, and the red lacquered gate will be." You are literate, and a plaque was hung in front of Zhu's house. ”

Chen Qiuniang listened to his directions and was overjoyed. The boy had said he would take her to her fiancé's house. At this time, he showed the way in such detail, apparently asking her to go on her own. Then, if he leaves on his own, there is no need to rack his brains to try to persuade him to leave. God help me.

Chen Qiuniang's heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly handed over two strings of iron coins and a few copper coins, and said, "Thank you, little brother, please accept this thank you gift, you go and get busy with yours." ”

The young man did not refuse, took the money, and snatched the cloth bag containing the letter and bone carving in Chen Qiuniang's hand, and said, "You wait for me here, and I will help you give it to your cousin and grandfather." ”

Chen Qiuniang didn't have time to stop it, but he limped, strode into the dazzling sunlight, and headed towards Zhang's mansion.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker of Zhangfu. After a while, a crack opened in the red lacquer door, and the little man with a gray cloth shirt and a gray cloth turban poked his head out and asked rather unpleasantly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Little brother, I am a neighbor of the distant niece of the housekeeper of the king of your mansion, and his niece is critically ill and asked me to send a letter here. It's also troublesome for the little brother to pass it on. He said aloud that it was in the local dialect, although it still had a northern tail note when he listened closely.

The little guy probably saw that his face was full of scars, and said impatiently: "Steward Wang is busy with affairs, how can you say that you can see him?" ”

The young man was not angry, but handed over a few copper coins for running errands that Chen Qiuniang handed him earlier, and said, "I know that my little brother is hard, please have a cup of tea." I also bothered to report, it is really like fighting a fire, and it is in danger. ”

The little servant looked at it, put the copper coin in his pocket, and while reaching out to pull his cloth bag, he said, "Bring the letter, and I will give it to the king's steward for you." ”

He blocked it, opened the cloth bag, showed it to the little guy, and said, "The little one was instructed to hand it over to the king's housekeeper with his own hands, and it is troublesome for the little brother." ”

Chen Qiuniang saw his actions, and her whole body suddenly became cold. What is the origin of this young man, he actually knows that the cloth bag contains a token. Could it really be that he made up his own brain, and was sent by the powerful to this town to spy on Zhang's mansion?

When the little guy saw the bone carving, he was immediately stunned and looked at the young man.

"Saving people is like fighting fires, and it bothers the little brother to report." The young man reminded on his face, but in fact urged.

"You, wait, wait, I'll go and ask Steward Wang." As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted to the inner door, "Little Ba, go and invite Steward Wang to come, and say that someone sent a letter to him to save his niece." ”

There was a faint answer from inside the door. Chen Qiuniang was sweating all over, standing in place, her legs and feet were tight. If this young man really spies on Zhang's mansion, then he undoubtedly wants to lure Zhang Ci out and destroy him. In this way, he came so recklessly, but it hurt Zhang Ci.

It's just that this boy was saved by himself by accident, could it be such a coincidence?

Chen Qiuniang stood in place, looking at the young man, looking at his tall and thin back, although he was in tatters, he always had a proud backbone. This man must not have come from a small family. He spoke decently, acted intelligently, and could see the role of the bone carving at a glance. If it has nothing to do with the Zhang Ci incident, then this young man must have been a wealthy family in the north in the past, but I don't know what happened to him, and he was reduced to a beggar in a remote town in Shu.

As Chen Qiuniang's thoughts were surging, the door of Zhang's Mansion opened, and a middle-aged man in a blue shirt strode out, burly and hoarse, and asked, "Who sent the letter for my niece?" ”

"Steward Wang, this kid is it." The little guy from earlier pointed to the young man in front of him.

The young man stepped forward, bowed slightly, and once again revealed that he was a neighbor of his niece, and at the same time handed the letter and the token of the bone carving to the steward king.

Steward Wang glanced at the letters and bone carvings, and then bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, little brother, little brother has been dusty all the way, I guess I haven't had breakfast yet, please go to the house to eat." ”

"Steward Wang is polite, it's not easy for me to come to the town here, and the neighborhood has other things to do with me, so I won't delay. Your niece's condition is urgent, please do your best to rescue her. He said as he saluted and took his leave.

Chen Qiuniang saw that things had been done smoothly, so she just stood where she was and waited for the young man to come over. Although he didn't know his purpose, this was something to help her do, and she had to thank her in person.

But the young man did not come, but ran to another alley next to him, although he limped, but the speed was extremely fast, and he suddenly turned around the alley in front of him, and no one was gone.

Hey? What is the rhythm? Chen Qiuniang was stunned, stood for a moment, and muttered: Zhang Ci, no matter what the result is, I tried my best. As soon as you qiē, it depends on your kid's creation. However, you must live, the old lady's ring is about happiness, you have to pay it back.

She muttered in a low voice, and followed the path the young man had pointed out earlier.

The sun is warm, people come and go in Liuhe Town, and the merchants walk through the streets and alleys, shouting endlessly. Chen Qiuniang walked quickly through the alley and turned into the street, and according to what the young man said, after crossing a bridge, he arrived in front of the Zhu Mansion.

High walls and gray tiles, vermilion lacquer gates, and golden knockers. Chen Qiuniang walked over and knocked on tiptoe on the door, and after a while, a small servant opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Chen Qiuniang smiled at the little girl, handed over three copper coins, and said, "I'm tired of the little brother to inform Old Lady Zhu for me." As far as the Chen family in Liucun comes to ask someone to bring a message, they will definitely come to the door in a few days to return the token, and they will never miss the marriage of the eldest son. Please also ask Mrs. Zhu not to worry too much, let those unpopular villains ruin the big things of the Zhu Mansion. ”

When the little girl heard this, she looked at her suspiciously and said, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm here to deliver a message for the Chen family in Liucun. The old lady of the Chen family told that this is related to the marriage of the eldest prince and the major matter of the Zhu family, so the troublesome little brother must tell the old lady Zhu. Chen Qiuniang made a gesture, and at the same time hinted at this little guy with these words: If you don't report this, you will miss the big matter of your master, and you will definitely not be able to afford it.

The little guy took the copper coin into his arms, glanced at her, and said very impolitely, "Got it, you can go." Then he slammed the door shut.

"This isn't a long-sighted thing, didn't you see Ben Gongzi coming back?" As soon as the door was closed, Chen Qiuniang heard the man's scolding from behind, and the already deep voice with the Shuzhong dialect showed that the voice was even more muddy.
