Chapter 36: Leading the Way
There was a thud, and the dark cave lit up.
Brother An held a fire twist in his hand and looked at the stone wall in front of him.
"Will he be able to get through?" Xie Roujia's voice came from the other side of the mountain wall.
When her words fell, Zhou Chengzhen pushed Brother An away, and an inconspicuous hole in the stone wall that could only be drilled by one person was exposed, and he knelt down and got into it without saying a word.
The legs and feet quickly disappeared into the hole, and a muffled grunt came from inside, apparently being hit.
An Ge Yu lay down and stretched the fire twist into the hole, and after a while, Xie Roujia heard Xie Roujia whistle over there, he immediately extinguished the fire twist and climbed in neatly.
This side of the cave suddenly opened up, and the light was much brighter.
Seeing Zhou Chengzhen come out, Xie Roujia raised her feet and walked in one direction.
"Don't wait for him." Zhou Chengzhen said.
"He knows the way." Xie Roujia said, turned around and entered a narrow road, and sure enough, not long after walking, An Ge Yu chased after him.
Zhou Chengzhen sighed a few times.
"Do you drill in this cave every day?" He said.
No one paid attention to him, and Xie Roujia stopped to talk to Brother An.
"Do you remember how to get there?"
"I remember the way." Ange replied.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"It's not that you remember the road, the road is not for you to memorize, do you remember how to find the road?"
Brother An stopped talking and looked at the cave in front of him, at this time there were four or five large and small caves in front of him, which was dazzling.
Xie Roujia took a step back, waiting for him to take a step.
Someone reached out and poked her buttocks.
This little brute!
Xie Roujia jumped over, raised her hand and hit her, and Zhou Chengzhen reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"What's the hurry, I'm just asking." He said.
Xie Roujia glared at him and snorted.
"Can you teach and learn another day?" Zhou Chengzhen said. "I'm injured after all, and I'm waiting to get out."
"I can't die." Xie Roujia shouted angrily.
"What kind of medicine did you give me? Why am I okay? Zhou Chengzhen asked.
Xie Roujia shook off his hand.
"Herbs." She said, turning away from him.
Brother An had already finished reading, raised his feet and walked in one direction, walked a few steps and turned around, and when he saw Xie Roujia smiling at him, he couldn't help grinning.
Xie Roujia smiled and turned her head suddenly, and Zhou Chengzhen's hand stretched out to her hip stopped in mid-air.
"Can you go?" He asked casually.
"Come forward." Xie Roujia shouted.
Zhou Chengzhen shook her head.
"Nope." He said.
Xie Roujia glared.
Zhou Chengzhen looked herself up and down. Reach out and cover your waist. Press and hold the remaining half of the pants.
"I'm afraid you'll strip me naked." He said.
Xie Roujia let out a sigh and called Brother An.
"Take off your clothes and put them on him." She said.
Without the slightest hesitation, Brother An reached out to untie his coat. In the blink of an eye, he was bare-chested.
It's not ugly, it's quite sturdy.
Zhou Chengzhen sneered.
"I don't wear other people's clothes." He said.
Before the words fell, Xie Roujia raised her foot and kicked on his buttocks, and Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
Xie Roujia hurried past him. Crossing An Ge Yu and moving forward, An Ge Yu glanced at Zhou Chengzhen. Lift your feet and take a step.
Zhou Chengzhen raised her eyebrows and strode to follow.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
More than a dozen retinues in the dense forest gathered and stood in front of Shao Mingqing.
"Young Master Cousin, there are too few of us to find it at all." An attendant said.
From early morning to now, the sun is setting in the west. It's been almost a day.
With such a big mountain, the most important thing is that the girl is very good at hiding, and it is even more difficult to find.
She used to hide in the mountains. Mrs. Xie sent people to search the mountain for three days but couldn't find it, and she hadn't been in the mountain for long at that time.
Shao Mingqing looked up at the mountains.
"Send a message to the family." The attendant said. "Let them send someone."
"But if you sue the sΓΉ family, you will also sue the people of the court." Shao Mingqing said.
Then Xie Roujia couldn't hide it this time no matter what, and she had to be interrogated.
It's not that Xie Roujia is unsightly, it's just that Xie Wenxing and Mrs. Xie can bear how much Xie Roujia's matter was revealed before it was revealed? What will they do if they can afford it? And what do those who know about these things think?
Anyone else would be fine.
Shao Mingqing's eyes appeared in front of the figure of the king of Dongping County, with a white face, deep eyes, the innate nobility and elegance of the royal relatives and the elegant and indifferent atmosphere cleverly fused together, making people happy to see it, and they would not feel afraid to sweat.
But Xie Wuye said that the king of Dongping County had come to Yushan in advance before March 3, and he still lived in the mansion, if it wasn't for Xie Wuye who happened to come over to notice that they were wrong, he invited the master of Fucheng to secretly recognize them, but they were afraid that they would not know if they had seen the Xie family up and down.
As long as he thought of this, Shao Mingqing felt hairy on his back, especially the few times he saw the king of Dongping County, his eyes Shao Mingqing couldn't look directly.
If those eyes look deep, they will make people feel cold in their vests.
This person should not be lightly befriended, he can see through you, but you can't see through him.
So he dared to have a relationship with Zhou Chengzhen, but he didn't dare to have too much contact with this king of Dongping County.
"Look for it again, if you can't find it tonight, I'll tell the family tomorrow." Shao Mingqing said.
The attendants glanced at each other.
"Young master, this can't be hidden." One said, "Although Zhou Shizi looked alone, there must have been guards to follow. β
Shao Mingqing also knew this, in order to avoid being discovered by him, Zhou Chengzhen would definitely not let the guards come to Yushan together, or they agreed on a time, or the guards were nearby.
"Maybe we'll find them in a moment, before they do." Shao Mingqing still said, waving his hand to his entourage, "Go on, go on." β
The entourage glanced at each other and had to disperse helplessly.
Shao Mingqing also jumped off the rocks and searched for the bushes.
He knew that the news couldn't be hidden, and he didn't want to hide it, he just wanted to hide it before the news got out. I can talk to Zhou Chengzhen.
Stinky girl, stinky girl, don't be angry and trap Zhou Chengzhen, the enemy in your dream, in the mountains.
How is that possible, though.
She only reached out and grabbed her face, and did not ask for the life of her dream enemy.
Her sister almost killed her, and her parents abandoned her for life and death, but until now she has not even said a word of evil.
She would never trap people in the mountains, if they were trapped. It must have been that she was trapped too.
Shao Mingqing took a deep breath and raised his head. Make a loud whistle.
"Young Master!"
The attendant behind him shouted, with a bit of panic in his voice.
Shao Mingqing turned around and saw seven or eight burly and agile guards rushing quickly in the mountains and forests not far away. I chuckled in my heart.
It's coming faster than you think.
"What about our prince?" The escort at the head said in a deep voice with a solemn face, his eyes swept over these people, and he held the knife in his hand.
"Looking." Shao Mingqing said.
The guard immediately removed the bamboo tube from his waist.
"Wait a minute!" Shao Mingqing shouted, "I'm going to find it soon." β
The guards looked at him. Am I a fool?
Shao Mingqing looked at this guard, and the corner of his eye swept over the other guards. There were only seven of them, and he had seventeen or eighteen, and he didn't know what the odds were of trapping them......
The brief silence made the atmosphere in the mountains and forests eerie. People on both sides slowly tensed up.
A whistle came from here, piercing the stagnation.
Shao Mingqing was overjoyed.
"Found it!" He shouted, turning his head and running in the direction from which the voice had come. At the same time, the whistle was loudly answered.
The guards glanced at each other, and the guards at the head put the bamboo tube back on their waists. The group also hurried after them.
The whistle was getting closer and closer, and when I turned around a dense forest, I looked up and saw three people on the mountainside.
Shao Mingqing opened his mouth to shout, but he swallowed the name that he almost blurted out and turned it into a voice, waving at them.
The girls on the mountainside also waved.
Everyone stepped forward again, and when they saw these three people, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The girl was disheveled, disheveled, and had a cloth around her face, while a man standing beside her had a swollen head and face that was stained with dust, although his face was not covered with a cloth, and his body could simply be said to be naked, naked, and naked, with only a trouser waist and a trouser leg left on his body.
Is this a wild man in the mountains?
In this way, only the other young man standing next to the girl still looks like a person.
"The prince?" One of the guards shouted as he seemed unconvinced.
Zhou Chengzhen thought of a sentence.
Lao Tzu beat you, and your mother doesn't even recognize you.
This is a sentence he often says in the capital, but he never thought that this sentence would one day be fulfilled in himself.
Although, he doesn't have a mother.
He snorted and jumped down the hill with his feet up.
"Be careful." The guards shouted as they were finally convinced, and took it.
Shao Mingqing also breathed a sigh of relief, although his face looked scary, but in fact, there was no injury, his movements were so agile, he was also busy welcoming the past.
Zhou Chengzhen jumped several steps in succession on the mountainside, and just as he was about to approach the guards, he suddenly screamed, and the person fell down and rolled straight down.
This sudden change startled everyone present.
This is...... Stumbled?
"Lord Shizi!"
With a bang, everyone rushed up, and Zhou Chengzhen had already rolled down, hit a mountain rock and tripped up, let out a cry of pain again, and then remained motionless.
Xie Roujia, who was still standing on the mountainside, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and exclaimed through the cloth.
"Lord Shizi!"
"Don't drag me! I can't move! β
In the chaotic shouting, Zhou Chengzhen's voice was loud.
Not dead.
Xie Roujia breathed a sigh of relief, but this spell could only last for a while, and I thought it would be forever.
"Your Highness has hurt your back." A guard said after inspecting it, while untying his clothes, he also beckoned everyone to untie a few more pieces, "Fix the prince and carry the prince down the mountain." β
Back injury?
Of course, Zhou Chengzhen knew that he had a back injury, and he couldn't move not long ago, but he thought it was okay, he came out of such a deep cave.
He looked at the mountainside, where the little girl was still standing looking at him.
"Hey." He shouted, but the figure was chaotic, and he was lifted up and moved down, and a hand was on his shoulder, and the body standing over blocked his view.
"Lord Shizi, let's go down the mountain." Shao Mingqing said, pressing Zhou Chengzhen's shoulder tightly, and went down carefully and quickly.
The Xie family's mansion had already received the news, and the injured Xie Wenjun was supported and came out to greet him in person.
"What's going on?" He asked anxiously, "Why is the prince injured?" β
Zhou Chengzhen's guard glanced at Zhou Chengzhen, who was being carried, and seemed to be thinking about what was going on.
"Lord Shizi, I fell down the mountain when I was going down." He said.
Fell while descending the mountain! Ahh Am I a three-year-old? Fall like this?
I was hurt when I fell down a cliff and rolled into a cave with that girl!
Zhou Chengzhen glared and opened his mouth.
"Less nonsense! Get a doctor! But he eventually roared.
There is a ready-made doctor in the Xie family's mansion, who has just treated Xie Wenjun, bandaged Zhou Chengzhen's wound and applied medicine, and drove the little girls to boil the medicine.
Shao Mingqing asked the doctor a few words outside, and then walked in, and the guards in the room looked at him with a bad expression.
Zhou Chengzhen lay on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
"Lord Shizi." Shao Mingqing said, "I have a few words I want to tell you. β
Zhou Chengzhen opened his eyes, looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
"I also have a few things to say to you."
