In less than half an hour, we had finished our dinner and put down the dishes and chopsticks in our hands, and the old man, seeing that we were all full, turned around and called the old woman to light the lamp and candle, and led us to another thatched hut with a dim lamp and candle in his hand.

We followed the old man out of the thatched hut and walked towards a thatched hut next to it, which was already moontop in the treetops, and the bright moonlight shone our shadows on the ground, but it showed some indescribable harmony. Although the village is not big, it is very quiet, and although it is only nightfall, there is no sound around it.

As soon as we walked into the grass hut behind the old man, we smelled a faint musty smell, the old man smiled apologetically, and said in a kind voice: "This house has not been held back for a long time, since my kid was conscripted, it has been empty, if you don't dislike it, you can live here!" ”

"What the old man said, it's already very good to have a place to live, how can we dislike it?!" I casually looked around and whispered back.

"It's not early, so the old man won't disturb your rest!" The old man said, turned and walked out the door.

"Thank you, uncle!" I looked at his departing back and whispered thanks.

"Childe is polite!" The old man did not stop, and walked out of the grass hut in a moment.

As soon as the old man left, the princess looked at the grass hut with some embarrassment, and muttered to herself, "This house is so small, how can you sleep?" ”

"Princess, you will sleep here tonight, and when you arrive in Chizhou City tomorrow, the princess will be able to rest!" I looked at the princess and comforted.

"yes, yes. Princess, my sister and brother-in-law and I were originally from Chizhou City, and when we arrived in Chizhou City, we promised to treat the princess well and not let the princess be wronged! As soon as my words fell, Situ Qing on the side couldn't help but echo.

The princess listened to our words, and looked aggrieved, but she still nodded, and when I saw her nod, I finally let go of my heart a little, this place can be regarded as a poor country. It's impossible for the princess to go crazy again. At least there is no place in this village that she is interested in, we just spend the night here, and if we are wronged, we will be wronged by her.

At the moment, we didn't say more, just casually laid out the wooden bed and lay down. Three girls slept together. The three of us men slept together. After blowing out the lamp and candle, he fell asleep shortly after.

When I woke up, it was already the next day, and although I was in a grass hut that night, I slept soundly. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Han Sheng who was getting up, and when Han Sheng saw me wake up, he greeted me softly: "Bi Gongzi......!" ”

"Brother Han, you got up so early?!" I smiled and whispered.

"Get used to it." Han Sheng didn't say much, nodded and got up.

I looked around, the three girls were still sleeping with each other as they did at night, but Situ Qing had already fallen on his back in the straw pile on the ground of the grass hut, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and followed Han Sheng out of the grass hut.

As soon as I walked out of the hut, I was enveloped in the harsh sunlight, the sun above my head was dazzling but not hot, and the most important thing was that it should be a little moist in the air, which made people feel comfortable.

"Two sons, ...... you awake!?" As soon as Han Sheng and I walked out of the grass hut, we saw the old man walking over, and the old man saw us and hurriedly greeted us.

"Uncle, you also got up so early?!" I responded with a smile.

"This is a rural area, not as good as the capital, not to mention that the old man is a mountain villager, and he needs to get up earlier to clean up the crops!" The old man said, bent down and picked up a hoe on the ground and carried it on his body, "If the two sons don't dislike it, it's not too late to wait for the old man to come back from the crop field and have breakfast together!" ”

"...... this?" Han Sheng hesitated.

"Then listen to the old man!" I replied with a smile.

The old man didn't say much, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, walking not far away. As soon as the old man left, Han Sheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at me and asked softly, "Master Bi, it's better for us to hurry to Chizhou City, I'm afraid it's ...... to stay here?" ”

"Brother Han, don't worry!" I interrupted Han Sheng's words with a slight smile, "This place is not far from Chizhou City, and besides, they haven't woken up yet, so we're not in a hurry at this time, are we?" With that, I turned my head to look at the grass hut behind me.

Han Sheng frowned slightly, as if pondering my words, and only nodded seriously after a moment, "Hmm." ”

The early morning in the mountain village is already cool, and the air is incomparably fresh, taking a deep breath makes people feel refreshed, anyway, it is better to be idle and walk around, I thought so, raised my feet and walked towards the courtyard, Han Sheng hurriedly followed.

"Brother Han, is what you said to Shopkeeper Liu true before?" As I walked out of the courtyard, I couldn't help but ask Han Sheng softly.

"I don't know what Bi Gongzi is asking?" Han Sheng asked in a low voice.

"You said that when the time comes, you will leave the capital and drink with Shopkeeper Liu, is it true?" I asked softly.

Han Sheng didn't rush to answer after listening to my words, and paused before asking, "Bi Gongzi, do you know the dangers of the rivers and lakes......?" ”

"Dangerous rivers and lakes?" I didn't understand what he meant, I obviously asked if he would have a drink with Shopkeeper Liu, but he asked another question.

"Not bad." Han Sheng nodded, looked at me and continued to ask, "Has Bi Gongzi ever heard a word?" ”

"What?"

"A companion is like a tiger!"

"What does Brother Han mean ......?" I looked at him speculatively.

Han Sheng looked at me and breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the distance and said, "Bi Gongzi is just a new champion, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but I am worried that Bi Gongzi will be suspicious, in fact, there is an undercurrent surging in this palace, ......!" Saying that, Han Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Listening to his words, I also had a general impression in my heart, and he was obviously telling me that he was tired of life in the palace, tired of officialdom, and wanted to quit.

However, with Han Sheng's ability, he can be regarded as a master, why would he be wronged in the palace all the time? !

I didn't speak, just looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Han Sheng thought for a moment as if thoughtfully, turned his head to look at me, and smiled slightly, "Master Bi, there are some things...... You still don't know what to do! ”

"Then good Brother Han, since you don't want to say it, forget it!" I didn't ask much questions, but watched him nod his head.

Brother Han saw that I didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't say anything more, he slowed down and looked around, seemingly leisurely but with something on his mind.

Slowly, the sun above my head rose more and more, and before Han Sheng and I could turn around and walk back, we saw the old man who was rushing back from the crop field, and as soon as the old man approached, he hurriedly said to me and Han Sheng: "I'm afraid the two sons are already hungry, let's go back to eat!" ”

"Old man again!" I bowed slightly, followed the old man with Han Sheng and walked towards the farmhouse.

In the blink of an eye, the three of us returned to the farmhouse, and before we entered the courtyard, we saw the three girls sitting in the courtyard and Situ Qing with a worried face. "Husband......!" "Brother Bi......!" "Bi Gongzi ......!"

"You're all awake!" I looked at the nervous faces of the three girls and asked with a smile.

Without waiting for the three girls to speak, Situ Qing behind him walked slowly to us, looked at me and said, "Brother-in-law, where did you and Han Sheng go early in the morning?" Sister, they didn't see you when they woke up, so they had to get up and look for you together, but luckily you came back, otherwise they might have run to find you! ”

"Worried about my eldest brother, Brother Han and I just walked around, not far, didn't we rush back?" I said and looked at Situ Hong, Yuqiong, and the princess.

The three of them originally looked at me with concerned eyes, but when they saw me, they immediately became relaxed, and before the three girls could speak, the old man said on the side: "Childe, miss, let's go have breakfast!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go eat first, we have to hurry when we finish eating!" I answered the old man's words, hurriedly grabbed the hands of the three girls, turned around and left.

When we returned to the hut, the woman had already prepared a fragrant breakfast, and without saying a word, we sat down and began to eat, and in the blink of an eye we had all the breakfast that had been prepared.

We did not stop at breakfast, got up and said goodbye to the old woman, then went out of the courtyard and made a carriage, and in the twinkling of an eye we left the village and set out on the road again.
