"Be careful, Rainfall, there's a protruding root here......"

Wang Huaiqing's concerned voice came from ahead.

"Ye Xiaoyu, there's a cluster of thorny things here, you'd better step on it and fall down."

Zou Youheng imitated Wang Huaiqing's tone.

Ye Xiaoyu directly punched Zou Youheng's arm. When I'm in a bad mood, I hate being wordy by others.

"Damn, your injuries are all fake, so strong?"

Zou Youheng grinned in pain.

The hill was steep and long, and it took four people a lot of effort to climb to the top. Because Ye Xiaoyu can still move, Zou Youheng is relatively much easier, the hardest thing is Wang Huaiqing, he has to explore the way, and at the same time, he has to always pay attention to Tian Yuyan's movements, and he has to ask for warm care, Ye Xiaoyu has never seen Wang Huaiqing so busy.

"When I get back to the city, I'm going to find Yingge in Yichun Courtyard and ask her to give me a good press to soothe and soothe my muscles and bones......"

As soon as he reached the flat place, Zou Youheng began to shout. As he spoke, he pretended to move his arm.

This slope is very steep, and Ye Xiaoyu is also so tired that her legs are weak. There were several times in the middle when she was about to slide down, but fortunately, Zou Youheng was pulling on it, but just after the impression was better, this person began to speak freely.

"Youheng, it turns out that you usually have such a hobby?"

Tian Yuping had already been helped by Wang Huaiqing to sit down on a stump, and his spirit had recovered a lot, and after listening to Zou Youheng's words, he couldn't help asking.

"Uh, that. Erniang, don't get me wrong, I'll just talk about it, where do you dare to go. ”

Zou Youheng hurriedly smiled shyly.

I was so carried away just now that I forgot that Tian Yuping was still here.

But it doesn't matter, although Tian Yuping is now very favored in the Zou family, the main power is still in the hands of the Wu family, and these two people do not deal with each other, even if Tian Yuping complains to Zou Yu, the Wu family will firmly stand on his side. And. Tian Yuping is a smart person. I will definitely not sue for these things, and then offend myself.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu silently rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Sir, tomorrow is the deadline. Your side ......"

Inside the main house of the Zou Mansion. Wu asked Zou Yu, who was sitting at the round table. He's been sitting here for a long time. His face was pale, but he didn't say a word.

Tie Yi has already come back to report the situation, and there is no news of Tian Yuping at all. Although Zou Youheng has not come back yet, for such a big matter, he can't pin all his hopes on one child. Tomorrow is the day when the kidnappers ask for money to exchange people, and Wu feels the need to confirm with Zou Yu again.

To be, or not to be, there must be a letter of approval.

"How much cash can our family take out now?"

Zou Yu opened his mouth.

The prefect who manages one side can't even protect his own family, and if this spreads, it won't just be a ridiculous and generous thing.

"Cash? A few thousand taels, probably, sir, you really don't want to raise money to save the rain screen, do you? ”

Wu walked over to Zou Yu and sat down.

"We don't know whether Yuping is alive or dead now, and we don't know if she is really in the hands of this group of kidnappers, so taking the money rashly, not to mention the risks, can't solve the problem."

"I know, I'll go and see tomorrow first, and I don't have to take the money. You tell you to go down and tell Tie Yi to prepare a box of fake silver tickets, and I will bring them tomorrow. ”

Zou Yu said.

He naturally took into account what the Wu family was worried about, and he would definitely go tomorrow, but he would not bring real money. As soon as the kidnapper showed his face, he would let the trappers who were ambushing him arrest him. Threatening the prefect is simply tired.

"How long will it take?"

Sitting on horseback, Ye Xiaoyu was shaken by Zou Youheng's horseback riding skills and wanted to vomit.

"I guess it's going to take another hour, right? I don't need you to walk, what's the hurry. ”

Zou Youheng said angrily.

Fortunately, the two horses tethered to the entrance to the forest were not taken away, and they were now able to ride back without having to walk. Otherwise, with such a long journey, with Ye Xiaoyu and Tian Yuping's current body, they may not be able to reach Rongzhou City tomorrow.

"Zou Youheng, you used to go out in a carriage, right?"

The speed of the horse was very fast, and the technique was so bad that it shook Ye Xiaoyu's heart.

“？”

"I don't think you look like a man who can ride a horse."

"I don't know how to ride a horse? So what are you doing now? ”

Zou Youheng was not convinced.

"Ye Xiaoyu, look at the two of them, you and me, how harmonious they are, you have a lot of words."

As he spoke, Zou Youheng looked at the two people on horseback next to him, and at this time Tian Yuping was leaning on Wang Huaiqing's arms, and the atmosphere was indescribably good.

Of course, Ye Xiaoyu also saw such a picture, and saw it from the moment he got on the horse just now.

She still remembers that at the beginning, Wang Huaiqing couldn't remember her appearance, no matter how many times she met, she was like a stranger every time, and she had no impression of Ye Xiaoyu at all. After getting acquainted, Ye Xiaoyu thought that he was really face blind and did not have a high degree of recognition of people. But just now, it was clear that Ye Xiaoyu was sitting directly opposite him, but when Wang Huaiqing came out of the bushes, he didn't notice himself at all; Ming Ming Tian Yuping was sitting behind a big stone with his back to him, but Wang Huaiqing could recognize it at a glance, but he completely ignored Ye Xiaoyu who was facing him.

He's not face blind, he's just not paying attention to things he doesn't care about.

"Hey, you're not envious, are you? You can also sit in the front, and I can barely hug you. ”

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu silent for a while, Zou Youheng said with a smile.

He has never liked others, so he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, but for the things between the two people next to him, Zou Youheng only thinks that Wang Huaiqing is a complete idiot. There are many women in this world, and Tian Yuping has already married and given birth to children. For such a woman who is married to a woman, I don't know what Wang Huaiqing is still clinging to, if it was him, she would have let go of her mother 800 years ago.

"You get your horse on first......"

Ye Xiaoyu rolled her eyes angrily at Zou Youheng's back.

Zou Youheng is right. Sure enough, it took more than an hour, and just when Ye Xiaoyu felt that her heart, liver, kidneys, and spleen were all about to be shattered, she finally saw the strangely shaped gate of Rongzhou City.

Less than twenty steps away from the city gate, Wang Huaiqing's horse suddenly stopped, and then Tian Yuyun was carried off the horse.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Zou Youheng also tightened the reins and forced the horse to stop, but because it was too sudden, the horse raised its front hooves as soon as it was forced, and Ye Xiaoyu was almost thrown off the horse.

"Ye Xiaoyu, you're not dead, are you?"

In a hurry, Ye Xiaoyu grabbed Zou Youheng's back hard, making Zou Youheng turn his head in fright and ask.

"Thank you for it. It's just a little bit worse. ”

The horse has calmed down. Ye Xiaoyu let go of the hand that grabbed Zou Youheng's back.

It was so terrifying just now, as long as she moved a little slower, the whole person would be thrown to the ground, thinking that she was not captured by the kidnappers. I wasn't trapped in a dirt pit either. But he was going to be killed by Zou Youheng's horseback riding skills. If this is the case, then she definitely did something hurtful to Zou Youheng in her last life.

"Why did you stop?"

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was fine, Zou Youheng looked at the two people in front of him again.

"Youheng. I'll sit on your horse......"

Wang Huaiqing didn't speak unexpectedly, only Tian Yuyan opened his mouth lightly.

"What?"

As if he didn't hear clearly, Zou Youheng was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you sitting well? How? ……”

Because of his adoptive mother, Wu, he didn't really want Tian Yuyan to sit on the same horse as him.

I don't know if Zou Youheng deliberately pretended not to understand, Ye Xiaoyu knew that Tian Yuyun did this, although it was already night, but there was a night market in Rongzhou City, she was a dignified prefect's wife, and she rode a horse with a young man in the middle of the night to swagger through the market, this is going to spread, how can she live? Because of this, she had to change into the same horse as Zou Youheng before entering the city.

"In this case, Second Madam, you wait here first, and we will go to the city and hire a carriage for you."

After thinking about it, Ye Xiaoyu said.

Although Zou Youheng is the young master of the Zou family, after all, he is not from Tian Yuyun, and in the eyes of ordinary people who don't know, he is still a young man, in fact, riding the same horse with Zou Youheng, the consequences are not much better than sitting behind Wang Huaiqing.

The best solution is to hire a carriage and let Tian Yuyun sit in the carriage, and put down the curtain so that outsiders can't see anything, and there is no place to gossip.

"It's so dark, it's not safe for Yu Yin to be here alone, right?"

Wang Huaiqing, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"You stay and take care of the second lady, and Zou Youheng and I can go. It shouldn't be difficult to hire a horse-drawn carriage around here. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said bluntly.

"I agree with Xiaoyu's idea, but with Xiaoyu accompanying me, I can only trouble Huaiqing and you to go on a trip."

Tian Yuyun pulled out a smile.

The gate of the city is also in the city, and there are pedestrians around, so she can't be talked about.

Although Ye Xiaoyu is wearing men's clothes, she is still a woman, and it will not work when the time comes, and it will be solved by directly exposing her identity.

"This ......"

Wang Huaiqing was still hesitating.

"I'm sorry for you both."

Tian Yuyan didn't give him another chance to entangle, and directly repeated it again.

"Okay, then Xiaoyu, you are here with the rain chimney, and the two of us will be back soon......"

Wang Huaiqing looked at Ye Xiaoyu and explained.

This is the second time he has stopped his eyes on Ye Xiaoyu today, the first time was when he was climbing the slope just now, because of Zou Youheng's words, he casually asked Ye Xiaoyu if he was injured.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to answer, just nodded, and then got off the horse.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else who you are."

Looking at the backs of the two of them going to the city, Tian Yuyan said lightly.

"It's okay, I didn't plan to hide it, I just thought it was more convenient to run in and out and wear men's clothes."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled and sat down on the stone beside Tian Yuyu. (To be continued......)
