This is an ancient tree-lined road, and occasionally caravans, wagons, backpackers, and knights pass by. It was a nice sunny day. A horse-drawn carriage that looks ordinary on the ancient road is driving a beautiful man about twenty years old, with a slightly round face, very close to the next door, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, wearing a navy blue shirt, which attracts frequent sideways glances from passing women, Zhong Yu is even more refusal, and his eyebrows are flying all the way to greet everyone, attracting laughter and laughter.

"Childe, there is a resting tea pavilion in front, do you want to take a break." Zhong Yu, who was driving, said to Shang Hong in the carriage.

Shang Hong lifted the curtain and saw that the seats in the carriage were covered with thick cushions, which also reduced some of the fatigue of the journey. Nian Xiaojiao sat in it.

"Yes, yes." Before Shang Hong could answer, Nian Xiaojiao said excitedly. The continuous rush for most of the day made him very bored, and Shang Hong's indifference made Nian Xiaojiao suffocated.

"Take a break ahead." Shang Hong said.

As soon as Shang Hong and the others rested in the teahouse, a woman suddenly sprang out of the next table, and grabbed Nian Xiaojiao's arm: "Please Miss help me." ”

Nian Xiaojiao turned around and saw a woman in gray in ragged clothes, who looked delicate and lovely even though she was not captivating the country and the city: "What do you say, girl?" ”

"The little girl's name is Qing Yu, a person from the neighboring village. My father was seriously ill and died, leaving Qing Yu alone, but my father's bones were not cold, and he was coerced by these two bullies. Qing Yu was pitiful, and looked timidly at the two people who were tall and fierce.

"Don't be afraid, Qing Yu." Nian Xiaojiao protected Qing Yu behind her.

"Advise the three of you not to meddle in your affairs." The two slapped the table and said viciously.

"Yo, it doesn't look good." Xiao Jiao smiled, the murderous intent in her eyes suddenly rose, her body moved quickly, and a cold sword was already against the neck of the leader. "It's so bad, and you dare to run rampant."

"The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life~" The two were frightened and kept begging for mercy.

"Get out!" Xiaojiao drew her sword and returned, and the two bullies crawled out of the tea post and disappeared at the end of the road.

"Qing Yu, thank you for saving your life." After Qing Yu finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down to thank Xiaojiao.

"Hey, hey, hey. It's a trifle. Xiaojiao hurriedly helped Qing Yu up: "Where is the girl going next?" If you drop by, you can go with us. ”

Qing Yu wiped her tears: "Qing Yu is lonely, if I return home, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the hands of those two bullies next time, and I also asked Miss to accept Qing Gardenia, Qing Yu is willing to serve Miss as a slave and a maid." Qing Yu said and knelt down again. Xiaojiao hurriedly went to help her: "If Miss doesn't agree, Qing Yu will kneel for a long time." ”

"Get up, I promise you." Xiaojiao lamented that she was not lonely and helpless in this world, although she was taken care of by General Lin, the pain of losing her parents since she was a child made her feel very sympathetic to Qing Yu. She looked back at Shang Hong, Shang Hong looked at the two of them expressionlessly, he was really a cold-blooded and ruthless guy, Xiao Jiao thought silently in her heart.

"Master Shang, can you bring Qing Yu with you?" Xiaojiao asked expectantly.

Shang Hong continued to drink tea indifferently, and did not say anything to refuse, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Miss Gardenia, please take a seat." Zhong Yu was very happy when he saw that Qing Yu looked pitiful, and he moved his legs to the ground and helped wipe the chair with his sleeves.

"This is Shang Hong, he is Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu is so virtuous, ignore him." Qing Yu covered his mouth and chuckled, and his slender waist was twisted to sit on the edge of the chair, very restrained.

After a short rest, everyone was back on the road.

This night, Shang Hong and his entourage stopped in a small town. It's a lively town, where passing caravans stop, and there are two inns in the town. Shang Hong: They picked a clean and refreshing one and rented it. After everyone rested, Zhong Yu was anxious to urinate and walked out of the inn, only to see a familiar back in the backlight of the corner of the street across the street.

Hey? Gardenia?

Zhong Yu wanted to go up to greet him, but found that Qing Yu was talking to a stranger, who was a capable middle-aged man, and at first glance he was a practitioner. Just about to pass over was discovered by the middle-aged people on the other side, only to see Qing Yu hurriedly hand over a thing to the other party, and the person who came quickly flashed into the darkness and disappeared.

Qing Yu turned to look at Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu put away his usual cynicism, his expression was solemn, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

"Your purpose is Childe? Or Miss Nian?. In the end, Zhong Yu broke the silence. Some estrangement, some guarding.

"Zhong Gongzi, please keep it a secret for me." Qing Yu looked at Zhong Yu, with a weak image as usual, with a little coldness and inaccessibility between his eyebrows.

"Give me an explanation."

Qing Yu responded to Zhong Yu's question with silence.

"If you don't say anything, why do you think I'll keep it a secret for you?" Zhong Yu said.

"Because Zhong Gongzi is a good person." Qing Yu smiled, and walked to the inn by himself, ignoring Zhong Yu behind him.
