Chapter 117: Descending the Mountain (2)

Holding the clothes borrowed from the second uncle and aunt of Jingnu, Zhao Yu and the two came to a nearby forest and helped each other change into them.

I have to say that Jingnu's second uncle and second aunt are really too lazy, Zhao Yu estimates that those clothes have been piled up in the basin for some time after being changed, so that they smell moldy and a little sour, which makes people very uncomfortable.

During the process of changing clothes, Jingnu was shy, so she didn't describe it in detail.

By the time the two of them changed their clothes, the sky was already bright, Zhao Yu and Jingnu looked at each other, and they both felt a little funny, after all, children wearing adult clothes, no matter how they looked at it, they felt awkward, but in this era, in order to save money, such things are not common, so as not to arouse the suspicion of outsiders, at most it makes people feel funny.

The extra cuffs and trouser legs were rolled up, the loose clothes were tightly supported by the belt, and a piece of cloth was wrapped around the head, and in this way, two children from poor families appeared.

As for the two clothes that were changed, Zhao Yu originally intended to find a place to abandon them, but Jingnu was reluctant, after all, the Luo skirt was brought out by her from the Xianghou Mansion, although it was not made by the Zhou family herself, but it can also be regarded as a good memory of her in the Xianghou Mansion.

Therefore, she proposed to find a place to bury it, and come back to find it after the two of them stabilized in the future, as a future miss.

Similar thoughts, as well as the handkerchief that Jingnu carried with her.

It was Zhao Yu's handkerchief, which was embroidered by Zhou's own hands, and there was Zhao Yu's young name 'Yu'er' on it, on the day when Zhao Yu and Wang Zhi clashed in Zheng Township, Zhao Yu had lent Cao An to wipe his nosebleed, but then he was taken back by the quiet girl who couldn't see it.

And this is also the only thing that the two of them brought out from the Xianghou Mansion and miss the Zhou family.

"You take it."

Looking at the dazzling embroidered word 'Yu'er' on the handkerchief, Zhao Yu felt uncomfortable for a while, and even breathing was a little difficult, but he finally stuffed this object into Jing Nu's hand.

He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, because reason told him that he must first survive with Jingnu and find a stable place to live, and then he could try to take revenge; Otherwise, it would be pure stupidity to blindly seek revenge in the present.

But then again, where can it be a safe place for the two of them now?

Next to a few raised rocks in the woods, Jingnu carefully folded her Luo skirt, then carefully wrapped it in Cao An's clothes and buried it in the soil.

Zhao Yu saw it from the sidelines and couldn't help but say, "If Cao An learns, he will be sad." ”

Jing Nu's face turned a little redder, and she defended: "The young master and I will soon find a place to live, and then we will come back and dig out these two clothes......

As she spoke, she added in a whisper, and even she felt weak: "...... Out of the way. ”

“……”

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In fact, he has always felt that Cao An is very good, and the facts have proved that the kid is indeed loyal and courageous, but Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, and Jingnu have always looked down on Cao An, and they all paranoidly think that Cao An will bring Zhao Yu badly.

Everything was ready, Zhao Yu and Jingnu made notes on their respective locations, and then walked out of the woods.

Where are you currently running to?

When Jingnu buried the two clothes, Zhao Yu was thinking about this problem.

To be honest, he has a lot of options in front of him at the moment.

For example, he went to Luyang County and defected to the county commander Liu Wei.

Although this Liu County Commander has not known his family for a long time, he is also familiar with each other and should be able to shelter the two.

But Zhao Yu couldn't tell if those Liangcheng soldiers were still waiting for the rabbit in the county seat of Luyang, if so, then they defected to the county seat, which was tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

For the sake of prudence, this clause can be removed.

Similarly, he defected to Zheng Xiang.

Of course, this is not to say that Zheng Xiang will contain them, but that in Zheng Township, there are also Zheng Luo and several other guards of the Township Mansion, if Zhao Yu can find them, he may be able to receive a lot of help.

The premise is that Zheng Luo and the others are still loyal to his Zhao family, and Zheng Xiang does not have Liang Chengjun's soldiers to search......

Of course, looking at the bravery and loyalty of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ying, Niu Ji and other guards in the palace that night, Zhao Yu was also full of confidence in Zheng Luo, in contrast, he was more worried that Zheng Luo and others had already encountered an accident, even if he thought about it at best, these guards who were outside at that time may have been forced to embark on a journey of death.

After all, on that night, with the attitude of those Liangcheng soldiers to kill all the people in his township, Zhao Yu didn't think that Zheng Luo and the other guards outside could not be affected.

Just when Zhao Yu was thinking while hurrying, suddenly Jingnu grabbed his sleeve and reminded in a panic: "Young master, there is someone ...... ahead."

Zhao Yu was shocked in his heart, and looked into the distance, only to see that in the distance, it seemed that there were indeed people, and there were quite a few of them.

It was undeniable that the two of them were really a little panicked at the moment, so they fled from the official road and hid in a small forest next to them to watch.

But after a moment, Zhao Yu confirmed that the vigilance of the two of them was indeed necessary, because it was really a group of soldiers armed with spears and armor, coming from the center of Luyang County, heading north.

Although the team of soldiers did not hold any flags, but looking at the posture of the other party, these people must be soldiers, after all, the general county soldiers are basically not wearing leather armor, and the soldiers are full of armor, and the difference between the two can be seen at a glance.

During this period of time in Luyang County, there was only one army in the territory, and that was the Liangcheng Army, that is, the army that attacked his Luyang Township Marquis Mansion that night.

"It's ...... Is the search being expanded?'

Hiding in the grove next to the official road with Jingnu, Zhao Yu watched the team of soldiers in the distance pass by, and secretly said to himself in his heart: Lu Yang can't stay, he has to leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu immediately gave up his plan to go to Luyang County and decided to go straight to Ye County.

To tell the truth, although Ye County is far away, but it is indeed better to defect to Mao Gong, the county commander of Ye County, than to defect to Liu Wei, Zhao Yu remembered that his father Luyang Township Marquis had mentioned it when he was alive, don't look at Mao Gong is just a county order, but he got acquainted with high-ranking officials of the imperial court with wine and friends, that is, Mao Gong is called 'Chen Gong'.

Although Zhao Yu didn't know who this Chen Gong was, and Mao Gong didn't want to reveal it, but recalling that Mao Gong once mysteriously said something like 'can't be said, can't be said', Zhao Yu intuitively thought that that Chen Gong might be quite amazing, definitely higher than the Tong Yan who claimed to be the governor of Liang County.

And with Mao Gong's friendship with his father Luyang Township Marquis for more than ten years, Zhao Yu has no doubt that Mao Gong will definitely help.

The only premise is that they can blend into Ye County and meet that Mao Gong.

After all, a while ago, Yexian County also stationed Liangcheng's army, I don't know what the current situation is, Zhao Yu decided that it was Yexian County to explore the situation, but it was really not possible, and then find another way.

On that day, the cold wind was bitter, Zhao Yu and Jingnu held hands and walked tremblingly on the official road, hiding from people, so that when it was close to dusk, they could enter the county of Ye County, and there was still some distance from the county seat.

Seeing that the night was approaching, Zhao Yu was also a little anxious in his heart, eager to find a place to stay in the wind.

Suddenly, he saw a faint glow of fire ahead.

Feeling Jingnu's cold little hand, Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally leaned over.

The source of the fire was a few dilapidated grass huts, and when Zhao Yu and Jingnu approached, some people had already gathered there, and these people parked the carriage outside the grass huts and gathered around the three bonfires to keep warm.

With the help of the light of the bonfire, the flags erected on those carriages made Zhao Yu's pupils shrink, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Lu Ye Together!

On the flags of those carriages, there was the banner of 'Lu Ye Gongji'.

These people are the businessmen of the Luye Freemasonry!

Jingnu was also taught literacy by the Zhou family, and she also recognized those words, and when she saw this, she panicked, and pulled Zhao Yu and whispered: "Young master, let's go." ”

The reason why she was afraid was that someone here would recognize Zhao Yu and her, so she would attract pursuers.

These are all things that Zhao Yu told her before going down the mountain.

But Zhao Yu squeezed Jingnu's cold little hand and decided to contact these businessmen to take a look, anyway, they had already changed their outfits, as long as they didn't meet particularly familiar businessmen like Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, others should not recognize them.

For the sake of prudence, Zhao Yu picked up a small piece of soil from the ground, crumpled it, and wiped it on Jingnu and his faces, and then pulled down the headscarf on his forehead, hiding his face in the loose clothes as much as possible.

When he was ready, he took Jingnu's hand and walked carefully towards them, and greeted them in a low voice: "A few kind uncles and uncles......

Although Zhao Yu thought before that he would pull Jingnu to escape once the situation was wrong, he was still quite lucky, there was no one he knew here, and his attitude was okay, although he was far from being amiable, and even looked at the dress of the two of them and was a little disgusted, but after all, he was not so ruthless as to ignore the two children and freeze to death.

After making a plea, Zhao Yu and Jing Nu sat down by one of the bonfires without any danger.

Even, a middle-aged man kindly gave Zhao Yu and Jingnu a rice cake each, which made Zhao Yu quite grateful, and secretly remembered this uncle who seemed to be called Cai Yu - the latter seemed to be the steward of the family of Jia Yang, a businessman in Luyang.

Of course, this uncle named Cai Yu also asked about the details of Zhao Yu and Jingnu, and Zhao Yu told the other party his pre-made statement.

Cai Yu sighed with emotion after hearing this: "I fled from Wannan to my Luyang, it was really difficult." By the way, little brother, you two might as well go to a few of my Luyang work sites, those work points are my Luyang work for relief places, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you two get there, obey the arrangement, and work hard every day, someone will take care of your food......"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu really didn't know what to feel in his heart.

However, just as he was about to nod, he suddenly heard someone from another bonfire say: "Don't say it, Lao Cai, the work sites in Zhengxiang are all messed up, how can you still have the heart to accommodate refugees again?" ”

As he spoke, the man snorted coldly and said with mockery: "Overnight, more than 200 members of the Xianghou family were killed, and then it was said that the Xianghou family colluded with the rebels and plotted rebellion...... Fool people like pigs and dogs! ”

"Silence!"

From the side, someone solemnly reminded: "The county government only announced it yesterday, Mo nonsense...... Don't want to die? ”

"Shhhh …… That Liu Wei doesn't seem to be a good thing! ”

The man scolded a few words, found it boring, and drank to himself.

In the silence of everyone, Zhao Yu stared at the cake in his hand, holding back the shock in his heart.

The person behind the scenes framed his family, saying that his family colluded with the rebels and plotted rebellion, which was not unexpected by him, and what shocked him was that the Luyang County Ya actually admitted this absurd statement?

That Liu Gong...... Succumbed?

To the murderer who framed his family.

Patting Jingnu's hand, soothing her who was obviously panicked, Zhao Yu took a bite of the cake in his hand with a calm face.

Chewing expressionlessly.
