Chapter 19: Zhao Qian
Xu Yuan couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw him on the outskirts of the city, saying that he was smart and self-controlled since he was a child, but he didn't expect to be so ignorant, he turned around and glared at him fiercely with dark green eyes: "There are many clans in the world, but there is only one life for you, I can kill you if I can save you, if you know something, don't make a big statement in public!" Only then did the young man react, there was no longer panic in his eyes, but instead there was a calmness, a kind of royal dignity: "Take me to see Ah Ting." β
When I walked to the rendezvous place, I saw Meng Jia and Sister Ting waiting there, and after the four of them met, Sister Ting looked at the young man and couldn't cry: "Little lord, you, you have suffered." As soon as the young man wanted to say something, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Xu Yuan and Meng Jia looked at each other and understood: the pursuers are coming. Meng Jia hurriedly turned his head and said to the two: "At this time, the chasing soldiers are coming, the goal of the four people is too big, we need to break through separately and divide into two groups..." β
Xu Yuan snorted coldly: "A woman, a child, want the two of us to abandon you?" Besides. He approached Sister Ting and stared at her with his eyes, "You don't think that you can still wander the rivers and lakes, right?" Now you are the enemies of the court, as long as you are alive, the people who want your life will find you at any cost, don't be naΓ―ve, how far do you think you can run? Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and besides, here, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, can you really run away? The boy also looked at her, "Ah Ting, he said it well, it's hard for us to escape if we go alone." He looked at Xu Yuan, "Let's go together, this big brother is with Ah Ting, it's not easy to find, I'm weak, and you are the only one who can protect me at present." β
Xu Yuan looked at the three of them, "Without further ado, since it has been decided, let's go separately, Meng Jia, do you remember the woods on the Five Elements Mountain?" We'll meet up there, be careful, and keep a low profile along the way. Meng Jia bowed his hand to him: "General rest assured, Meng Jia swears not to disgrace his life." With that, the four of them set off in two directions. The young man walked for a while and had no strength to sit on the ground, Xu Yuan was helpless, his pampered physique was afraid that he had never suffered from these days, but the chasing soldiers behind him could catch up with them at any time and kill them, after all, the two court criminals, Xu Yuan looked around, gave up the official road and decided to go to the grove. Xu Yuan looked at the young man's sallow face without strength, it seemed that he was sick, let's take him to a relatively safe place first.
When he arrived at the bottom of a rock in the grove, Xu Yuan touched the little lord with his foot, "Your pampered physique doesn't look like you can endure this hardship!" The young man looked bitter, looked at Xu Yuan and smiled weakly: "Strong man, can you give a piece of dry food?" I haven't eaten in three days. Seeing him like this, Xu Yuan was also amused in his heart, so he hurriedly took off the bag of dry food and threw it to him, and also found some water from the surrounding area for him to drink. Xu Yuan looked at him, his long eyelashes trembled one by one, but he was a little bit of a look, he wanted to tease him in his heart, he broke a dogtail grass from the side of the road, took it in his mouth for a while and looked around to see that no one was chasing him, while he was asleep, Xu Yuan began to pull up the dogtail grass around...
The young man was too tired, and he couldn't eat after a few days of rest, and his dreams were full of those attendants who were bullying people, they dragged him out of the room and hung him on the beams to humiliate him, and said that the feathered phoenix was not as good as a chicken, he watched them get closer and closer to him, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Xu Yuan leaning on the side of the fake sleep, he shook Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan woke up, and looked at him: "What are you doing?" "I'm awake, let's get going." The boy began to hold the gentleman's stand again. "What's your name, it's been almost a day, why, you won't tell me your name because your father gave you the name of a daughter's family?" The young man reacted and hurriedly wrote to Xu Yuan: "Little brother Chai Zhaoqian, thank you for saving your life, and ask the name of the strong man." β
As soon as he bent down, a grass ring made of dogtail grass fell off his head, Zhao Qian was stunned, but still refused to get up, Xu Yuan had to help him up personally, "Speaking of which, we are almost the same, we are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but the family disappeared overnight." Zhao Qian hurriedly asked, "Then who is Brother Ren?" Xu Yuan said: "The son of Xu Shu, the chief soldier of Beizhen Fusi Haizhou, Xu Yuan!" Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Brother Xu, disrespectful and disrespectful, my father admired Ling Zun the most in the past, and then the Xu family was wronged, and my father also pleaded to the court, but you also know that the clan is soft-spoken, and the court is controlled by relatives..." Alright, now let's go, you've slept a little misapprely. β
The two of them walked day and night, walking for four days, Zhaoqian's feet were covered with blood blisters from the next day, although he was always silent and unwilling to let Xu Yuan look down on him, but he limped too slowly, Xu Yuan had to bend down: "I'll carry you on my back, you can walk faster." Zhao Qian waved his hand, "Brother Xu, no need, I'm not as useless as you think." After speaking, he continued to limp forward, and Xu Yuan walked directly and quickly in front of him: "You can make up for your poor physique in the future, and if people find out, you will cut off your head and take what to make it up for you?" It's time like this, so don't focus on the subsections. As he spoke, he picked him up, Zhao Qian hurriedly thanked him, and stammered a little when he said it, "Many... Thank you, Brother Xu, come... Tomorrow will be rewarded! β
Xu Yuan weighed him: "Look at it, you are not as light as my master's old bones, you don't know how long you can live in this sinister world, if you call me a big brother, I will definitely not leave you halfway." There are so many clans, only you escaped, presumably Liu Huizu will not give up, how do you deal with it here? "Zhao Qian was lying on his back, weak, "What Brother Xu said is that there are poor mountains and bad waters here, and the younger brother is here, I am afraid that there is nowhere to retreat, and the Five Elements Mountain Realm was the land of Yan Zhao in ancient times..."Xu Yuan looked ahead, and his pace quickened under his feet, "Yan Zhao land?" Do you know that Gyeonggi is the capital of the ancient Yan Kingdom, and since ancient times, Yan Zhao has been a generous and sad person, how could they betray you. β
"Then Brother Xu thinks that where is the best place to start an incident? Who is the best candidate? Zhao Qian asked, Xu Yuan looked at the sky, the moon and stars were scarce, and while answering, he walked briskly on the path, "You just came out, and you want to kill again?" Rebel? Don't you want your life? Zhao Qian said: "I am the only one left in the family, what is there to be afraid of?" The current emperor has mutilated his siblings, and the way of heaven will not help him. β
"What do you think of this matter in the long term when we get to our destination? If you are already weakened to such a state, don't be too strong and talk too much. Zhao Qian couldn't, so he could only lie on his back, look at the sky boredly, and fall asleep unconsciously. There was a gust of wind, the sky was overcast, and it was about to rain, Xu Yuan shook Zhaoqian, he fell asleep without any warning, Xu Yuan sighed, ran up, and rushed to an abandoned house before the rain, put Zhaoqian on the ground, lit a fire, and covered him with clothes. Xu Yuan leaned against the wall and fell asleep...
