Zhang Ci recuperated from his injuries on a luxury boat at the Zhuxi Mountain Ferry, and there was martial law within a radius of dozens of miles, including the garrison of Linqiong Mansion, the guards of Zhuxi Mountain, and the sailors and infantry of Zhangfu and Yuzhou Lufu. In short, it is necessary to separate the male and female from a fly.

Chen Qiuniang was kicked out by Zhang Ci to live in the small room next to him after Zhang Ci woke up and fed him. The degree of food and clothing is quite particular, and the activities are quite free. The only thing is that Zhang Ci's injuries were blocked by the guards several times, Jiang Hang and Jing Liang took care of them inside, and they came out to explain that Zhang Ci was sleeping and resting, don't disturb him.

Chen Qiuniang also believed their words at first, but after repeating this, she understood that Zhang Ci didn't want to see her. She didn't bother anymore. I only asked people for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and stayed in the room every day, writing and drawing, silently writing suitable recipes, and drawing the layout of the restaurant. In his free time, he walks around the nearby mountains in search of ingredients and some plants that can be used as a substitute for seasoning.

During this period, Jiang Fan was always with her. This honest and honest words nag the boy. Chattering that night, he actually followed her to the Yunlai Inn in front, and saw that it was his brother who came to arrest him, and he was afraid that he would affect her, so he ran to the ghost house in the town to live.

"You're going to that ghost house?" Chen Qiuniang asked while fishing.

"yes. It was really miserable, especially with the effect of a haunted house. Jiang Fan replied excitedly.

"Didn't meet anyone?" Chen Qiuniang asked again. She remembered that time in order to avoid Zhu Wenkang's possible pursuit, she and Chai Yu went to the haunted mansion, where they met a crazy feng shui gentleman, who had been saying something "Kunji".

Jiang Fan smiled on his lips, leaned over, and said, "Qiu Niang, you won't be there too, right?" ”

Before Chen Qiuniang could answer, Jiang Fan had already taken care of himself and continued: "I did meet a crazy person, what fate is determined by heaven, and you can't force it." He was still holding my hand and chattering a lot. I'm not afraid of ghosts, but it's still scary for him to come out of nowhere. I almost drew my sword and cut it down."

Jiang Fan said as he wanted to describe the details of his sword drawing. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly stopped, changed the topic and asked, "Then why did you go back to Zhang's Mansion after that?" ”

"I'll look for you again at dawn. As soon as I arrived near the Yunlai Inn, I was seen by my brother. It's too late, it's fast, and I immediately swooped into the alley with an arrow step-" Jiang Fan described it very vividly, but the next moment he said dejectedly, "I am not familiar with the road, so I turned into a dead alley, and there is no road at all." Just thinking about jumping over the wall, my brother came, stood behind the alley and said, 'Daddy may be guilty because of you, if you are still so ignorant and don't return to Bianjing, you are not worthy of being a son of man, or even worthy of being a man', hey, he said that I am not worthy of being a man, I am not worthy of being a son of man, how can I bear it, I have a heart, whether he lied to me or not, I will go back to Zhangfu with him. It's a big deal if he tricks me into going back, and my dad has nothing to do at all, so I'll just run away. Jiang Fan opened his mouth with a long list of words crackling.

Later, he said that he was originally going to be escorted back to Bianjing by Master and several officers and soldiers from Bianjing. But because he heard that she was kidnapped by bandits in Zhuxi Mountain, Zhang Ci asked him to stay a few more days and come to rescue her together. And the person who escorted Jiang Fan away was just a stand-in for his master's disguise.

"As for me, I am Zhang Ci's secret weapon. It's unexpected. Jiang Fan was quite proud.

Chen Qiuniang chuckled and said, "Yes." If it weren't for you, that person wouldn't have thought that Zhang Ci's people were all accused, and he would have come out boldly to assassinate him personally. ”

"But it's a pity that that man has already ruined his appearance, and he killed himself immediately after I was caught." Jiang Fan shook his head and talked about the battle with the killer in the bamboo forest that night.

"It's good to be able to get out of danger. It's just that Zhang Ci's enemies seem to have to put him to death. Chen Qiuniang said. Thinking of the conversation between the killer and Zhang Ci that night, judging from the causes and consequences, there is a good chance that the master behind the scenes is Zhao Kuangyin.

Jiang Fan nodded and said, "Yes." Although I don't know where his enemy came from, such a big layout must have killed him. I used to be in Bianjing, and I had only been there for a few days, and he had been assassinated many times. That's why General Zhang asked him to come to the ancestral land of Shuzhong instead of going back to his hometown and state. I went back to Shuzhong with him at that time, and as soon as I entered the Sword Gate, we were hunted down, and I was separated from him. Later, I thought, they deliberately separated us. If you hadn't called that Chai Yu to report to Zhang's mansion, he would have died. ”

Chen Qiuniang was silent, thinking about seeing Zhang Ci at first. The scars all over his body were simply shocking. has been hunted down and killed since the beginning of Jianmen Pass, how dangerous it is along the way. In a mountain like Mt. Ni'a, you have to hide from your pursuers and fierce beasts.

Alas, he did not know who his enemy was, and he would not say it. If he wants to say it, I will go directly to settle his enemy, and there will be nothing left. Why bother so many gods. Jiang Fan kept shaking his head, and he kept babbling in his mouth and didn't understand.

It turned out that Jiang Fan didn't know who Zhang Ci's enemy was. Chen Qiuniang jokingly asked: "That is the current emperor who wants to put Zhang Ci to death, and you dare to settle it?" ”

"Yo hey, the emperor can kill people casually? If he wants to do something that makes me unhappy, I'm going to lift the sword. The sword in my hand will cut down the injustices of the world. Jiang Fan said and raised the sword in his hand.

Chen Qiuniang thought to herself: It's a shame that Zhang Ci didn't sue you, if you want to sue you, you can't directly raise your sword to cut Zhao Kuangyin, and bring disaster to the Jiang family, the Zhang family, and the Lu family.

"I'm amazing." Jiang Fan asked Chen Qiuniang proudly.

"Well, jealousy is like hatred, which is good." Chen Qiuniang replied casually.

Jiang Fan's expression instantly turned from flying to gloomy, and he sighed and said, "Qiu Niang, I really like you." Although you are thin and weak, which is not the standard for my mother to marry a daughter-in-law, I think you are good-looking, smart, and more importantly, you are a good cook, and I like to eat what you make-"

"Oh." Chen Qiuniang responded, feeling that this Jiang Fan seemed to be crooked and off topic when he was talking. Sure enough, Jiang Fan praised Chen Qiuniang for a while, and suddenly said, "Oh, Mom, I seem to have gone off topic." ”

Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips, feeling that this day was not so boring, at least there was an interesting bear child like Jiang Fan.

"Well, I mean I really like you. This time, in fact, I was very sad, why did the one who said to the bandits in Zhuxi Mountain: It was not me who handed over my wife obediently. Although I know that it was Zhang Ci's expedient measure to save you. But I feel uncomfortable in my heart, after all, in the eyes of the uninformed, you are his. Jiang Fan's tone became darker and darker, and he no longer looked like the bear child who was not afraid of anything.

Chen Qiuniang was speechless for a while, but Jiang Fan talked for a while, and finally digressed and said that he had to pester Chen Qiuniang to teach cooking skills when he caught the fish.

After that, he became a cheerful ** teenager again, accompanying Chen Qiuniang to run all over the mountains, collecting perilla, fennel, and other seasoning ingredients, listening carefully to Chen Qiuniang's explanation, and finally glaring at Lu Chen, who was saying "The gentleman is far away from cooking", resolutely sang "The people take food as the sky", and stepped into the kitchen with high spirits, and cooked happily.

On this day, Zhang Ci still didn't see Chen Qiuniang. It's just that Lu Chen said that Zhang Ci is much better, and he can leave for Liuhe Town tomorrow. Chen Qiuniang's cooking, he didn't like his appetite, so she asked her not to do his share. Jing Liang had a cold face, saying that the food she cooked was not conducive to her condition, and asked her not to worry about the food, he would arrange it.

Chen Qiuniang didn't argue with this person either. She could see that Jing Liang and Lu Chen were just prevaricating. It's just that she doesn't know if their attitude is Zhang Ci's attitude, or if they don't like Zhang Ci because of her injury.

However, she didn't care about either attitude. Because she just needs to live her own. She should stay away from people or things that may make her sad or in danger, and there is no profit at all, and the farther away the better.

For example, for Zhang Ci.

His enemy is the emperor, and he is the queen of the gate, so it is said that he has the right family.

But how can we dissociate ourselves from him? When Chen Qiuniang thought of this, she felt infinite boredom in her heart.

It was another night. After breakfast on the second day, Lu Chen commanded people to drive back to Liuhe Town. Chen Qiuniang and Jiang Fan were the first people to get off the carriage on board, and only then did Chen Qiuniang see Zhang Ci who walked slowly out of the cabin. He was dressed in white, draped in a water-blue cloak, his face was even thinner, his expression was resolute, he didn't look at Chen Qiuniang at all, and he only nodded slightly to the officials of Linqiong Mansion who came to nod and bow to greet him, and stepped into the carriage.

Everyone set off, and the mighty procession of carriages and horses, and all kinds of escorts, were simply immense. After doing this for most of the day, he finally arrived at the junction of Linqiong Mansion and Meizhou Mansion, and then he ordered people to stop and rest.

Chen Qiuniang's carriage was separated from his carriage by many people, so he could only look at him from a distance. But he didn't squint, and he didn't even glance at her.

Chen Qiuniang felt that this person looked indifferent, as if he had changed someone. It was really just acting on the boat that day.

You're just a pawn of him. To be a chess piece is to have the consciousness of being a chess piece. Chen Qiuniang lowered the carriage curtain and lay down alone in the wide carriage, ready to sleep. Only then did he close his eyes, Lu Chen was knocking on the door of the carriage and shouting, "Miss Chen, the second son said that he wanted to see you." ”

Chen Qiuniang answered, and immediately got out of the carriage to see Zhang Ci. At this time, Zhang Ci was sitting upright on a dark wooden chair resting, surrounded by magistrates from Linqiong and Meizhou, as well as the leaders of the local garrisons, talking to Zhang Ci. The content of what he said was to compliment Zhang Ci as a young hero, and thank him for relieving the scourge of bandits in Zhuxi Mountain.

After Chen Qiuniang went, she stood aside, Zhang Ci didn't look at her, only showed a rare smile, and talked and laughed perfunctorily with those people for a while, then turned to look at Chen Qiuniang, and said coldly: "Are you here?" ”RS
