Aru smiled bitterly: "Where is my boldness, but I don't know the power of this thousand marsh, after walking for a while, I found that there were quagmires everywhere, and I couldn't move forward, and I didn't dare to move, and I really thought I was going to starve to death in the swamp." Luckily...... Met the village chief. ”

"Thayesani?"

"Yes, the village chief happened to be on the edge of the swamp, and when he saw that our grandfather and grandson were trapped there, he guided us to bypass the Senkannuma ...... from the mountain road on the side."

Gorihan was even more surprised, and asked, "Is there a mountain road that can go around the swamp?" "But I thought in my heart, if there is such a hidden mountain road, wouldn't I be able to find an opportunity to sneak attack Linzhou City?

Seeing that he was distracted, Aru waved his hand and said: "I know what the general is thinking, the mountain road is really rugged up and down, and many places need to be climbed with bare hands to get by, and the village chief took me for about two days to cross the mountain, if the general wants to lead people and horses through it, it can't be done." ”

Gorihan was a little disappointed when he heard this, and oh.

Aru said: "Later, I learned that the village chief also knew that there were many fugitives who went south in the summer, so he waited in the dark on the edge of the swamp, and when he saw an Imuran coming, he took them and brought them back to the village. So the general saw that everyone who lives in the village now is the one who has been rescued back to the village by the village chief over the years. ”

"I see!" It dawned on Gorihan that it was no wonder that he felt that all the people in the village, except for Saiyesani, were all Blade Clansmen, and they were all Blade Clan's fugitive slaves. But I can't see that such a cold woman can be so well-intentioned to people from other tribes.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dare to ask my uncle, what ......are the ruins of the village outside?"

"Originally, it was also a village of fugitive slaves, but a plague hit it, and all of them died. But the village chief said that the plague was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, and that if you want to avoid a man-made disaster, you have to choose a more secret place in the village, so the current village is here. I remember when I first arrived here six years ago, a group of soldiers from Bihai happened to be near here, just outside the village, as if they were trying to find out something. ”

"Inquire about what?"

"Well, but it's a ruin, and they rummaged through it for a while and found nothing, so they went back. In all these years, I haven't seen anyone come close. So when the village chief took you into the village last night, the people in the village were shocked. Aru's mood seemed to calm down a lot, and he smiled again.

Ge Lihan thought about it carefully, and the rugged mountain and water roads he walked last night were many forks in the road during the day, and some roads could not even be seen as roads, and they were indeed not easy to be discovered.

"What about you...... Are you going to stay here forever? Don't want to go back to Imulan? ”

Aru smiled and said, "General, we live here, we have food and drink, and our days are peaceful, what are we going to do when we go back?" ”

"But you are Imurans after all...... Don't you miss home? ”

"Home? Checkmate...... If you can stay hungry and shelter from the rain, and you can live in peace, that's what you call home......"

Gorihan was silent.

Maybe this is the helplessness of the Blade Clan, in the tribe of the Blood Clan, what is eaten is shared by everyone, and there is absolutely no such thing as starving to death for anyone.

He suddenly had an impulse and asked, "Daddy Aru, what if ......?"

Aru smiled, stopped his words with his eyes, and said, "General, I am grateful for your kindness, but Aru and his grandson now have everything they want, and they don't want more." You see, this child, although he is a child of fugitive slaves, he has been carefree since he was a child, enjoying freedom and clean food. I, who am a grandfather, will be buried tomorrow, and as long as I think that there is Saiyesani who can protect him, I can also close my eyes with peace of mind. ”

The wisdom of the elderly is like the spring water in a well, the deeper you go, the clearer it becomes.

Ge Lihan originally wanted to persuade Aru to switch to the Blood Clan, and then give him the status of a low-level nobleman, but now when he heard him mention Sayesani, it suddenly occurred to him that Seyesani is also a Blood Clan, not only has he not let them change to the Blood Clan for so many years, but he is not even allowed to mention the racial distinction, how could Aru change his mind because of his few words.

Besides, there is really nothing wrong with them living in this isolated valley.

What you think is precious and you pursue may be worthless in the eyes of others.

If this "preciousness" is imposed on others, it will become an unspeakable burden for the other party.

Gorihan nodded and smiled at Aru.

"So according to Daddy Aru, Sayesani will live in this village and protect you for the rest of your life?"

Aru shook his head: "No, she made it very clear to us from the beginning that she could leave at any time or never come back." But she also said that as long as you live as she told you before, everyone can always live in this village. ”

"What's her plan?"

"Actually...... Just yesterday day, before she left the village early in the morning, she said that maybe she would never come back. ”

Yesterday? Never come back? Ge Lihan suddenly remembered that the woman had mentioned that he wanted to assassinate Zhu Yutang.

"Do you have any deep hatred between your village chief and the Ming Emperor of the blue sea?"

"This ...... I don't know, the people in the village don't know much about the chief, because she almost never talks about herself, and sometimes she sits in the village and looks at the river for hours. ”

"Look at the river?"

"Yes, she said, the creek curved a lot like Thayesani, though it was much wider."

"So you know that Thayesani is not her real name!"

Aru smiled: "Naturally, I know, in fact, everyone in the village uses their real names. ”

"Oh?" Gorihan was puzzled.

"The village chief said that since he entered the village, he forgot everything in the past and gave himself a new name, as if he had been reborn."

Ge Lihan secretly thought, this woman said this, but she couldn't forget the hatred with Zhu Yutang, and obviously remembered some things in the old days.

At this moment, the child in front of Gorihan suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Ah, what a big piece of Dirong grass! ”

Aru squinted, shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, kid, since you can see clearly, then take the general over, let's pick it up and bring it back." ”

Gorihan asked, "What is the use of this grass?" ”

The child said happily: "The village chief likes this grass the most, she will use this grass to weave things, and after weaving it, she will take it to Taiye City to sell." ”

"Your village chief is still going to Taiye City?"

The child winked and replied, "Yes, our village chief goes to Taiye City every once in a while, and she will bring us some new things and delicious food every time." ”

Gorihan turned his head and asked, "Daddy Aru...... Isn't she afraid of being found out when she goes to Taiye City? ”

"She always goes in disguise as a foot merchant, and I heard that there are many merchants in Imulan in Taiye City, so it's fine."

"But she is covered with a veil, and at first glance, she is not from the Blade Clan, you must know that the Imulans in Taiye City are only from the Blade Clan, and our Blood Clan can't even go to Linzhou City."

The child didn't wait for Aru to speak, and hurriedly replied: "The village chief rarely wears a face toil, and she only wears a face towel when there are outsiders." ”

Why is that? Ah, I see, isn't the village chief not good-looking? Gorihan asked deliberately.

The child was obviously very unhappy, and pouted: "Hmph, you said bad things about the village chief, I will ignore you." The village chief is not unattractive, and the village chief is the best-looking woman I have ever seen. ”

Can a seven-year-old know what it means to be good-looking? Ge Lihan smiled, but he was also sure of one thing, although this woman knew that she was also a blood clan, she did not fully trust herself.

Every once in a while, she would go to Taiye City, removing the face towel and disguised as a merchant of the Blade Clan, presumably in search of an opportunity to carry out the assassination. There is obviously a big merchant house in the city, and it sounds like she has never had any contact with the merchant house, so it seems that she is a lone wolf.

Well, if you were yourself, you wouldn't want to mix with those two-faced people of the Blade Clan. This is a deep-seated thought in the hearts of almost all Bloodsmen.

Speaking of which, the village chief must have lived near the capital of the Blood Clan before, otherwise he would not have been obsessed with the river Sayesani......

The prey in the mountains is probably not only fat and thick, but also stupid and don't even know how to hide when they see people.

Half of the five hundred men that Gorihan brought with him had been good hunters, and when they arrived in such a place, they were like fish in water, but in half a day, they had struck nearly a hundred wild beasts, large and small, and made Aru so happy that he cried out that enough was enough.

When they returned to the village with their prey, Sayesani was standing at the entrance of the village waiting for them. Seeing the crowd returning with a full load, he nodded noncommittally and beckoned to Gorihan.

"Come here."

Gorihan walked over obediently, and Thayesani whispered in his ear:

"Go and arrange for fifty soldiers, be smart, don't ride horses, and follow me at night."

"What's the hero's arrangement?"

"The road I came from has burned down, and I need to find a new one."

When Gorihan heard this, he asked:

"What plan does the hero have against the Bi Navy?"

Saiyesani frowned reluctantly:

"It's too early to tell you, anyway, you listen to me and ask them to follow me to open the way."

"Then why not do it now?"

"Now? Can you be sure that Wu Qing is not wandering around in the forest now? We burned the road in the woods, and her pursuers were killed so much, how could the three-faced fox's temperament give up? I said digging at night, it's night! What are you doing so much rambling? ”

Gorihan could feel that Thayesani obviously knew more about Wu Qing than he did. He was a magnanimous person, and since her words were more reasonable, he didn't pay much attention to Saiyesani's bad temper, but just smiled at the moment and replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
