Chen Xu stretched out his hand and hugged the water gently and tightly in his arms, hesitated and said: "There is a second reason, more important than one, if I don't come back to marry you quickly, the emperor will marry the fifth princess to me, I have shirked this matter twice, if I continue to shirk, there will inevitably be a gap between me and the emperor, which is not conducive to my continued reform in the future......"

Chen Xu gently turned the water around, and the two faced each other, "Gentle, in fact, I don't want to marry the fifth princess......"

Before Chen Xu's words were finished, Shui Qinggently covered his mouth with his small hand: "Chen Lang, Qingrou once vowed to follow her for the rest of her life, as long as Chen Lang has me in his heart, it is enough, Fifth Princess...... must also be a gentle and intelligent beautiful woman, marrying her will be of great help to Chen Lang's career! Chen Lang, you don't have to take care of me like this, the fifth princess is a wife, gentle and willing to be a concubine, and you will never lose each other in your life! ”

"I promise to marry you, I must keep my word, if I can't even fulfill this promise, how can I talk about a husband, how can I talk about helping the world? So I rushed back, not to mention that it is also my luck to be able to marry you, I never thought that one day I Chen Xu would be able to marry a smart and kind woman like you, so you must not think too much, it is impossible to be a concubine, you are my only wife, and the emperor's daughter cannot take your place! Chen Xu looked at the water gently, and said word by word.

"Chen Lang!" The water was soft and instantly emotional, and a pair of big clear eyes had a clear spring rolling down the snow-white cheeks.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Chen Xu hurriedly wiped away her tears, hesitated again and sighed before saying: "Actually, next time I go back to Xianyang, I will marry a woman at the same time, which is an addition to marrying the fifth princess, and I can't refuse......"

Shui looked at Chen Xu softly and blankly, and then leaned on Chen Xu's chest with tears in his smile and whispered, "Could it be the palace master's maid?" ”

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fei Ye, it's the daughter of the imperial historian Meng Yi, and she is only thirteen years old, I think I'm ...... I'm doing evil! ”

"Poof~" Shui Qingrou couldn't help but laugh again, his arms tightly wrapped around the man's back, arched in Chen Xu's arms, and said with a trembling smile: "Chen Lang is really a sin, and it will take many years to raise it...... to be able to have the same room! ”

Chen Xu: ......

After saying the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, Chen Xu felt a lot more relaxed, stroked the soft and smooth hair and back of the woman in his arms and said: "From this addition, it can be seen that I will inevitably refrain from the fifth princess, I knew that this was the case, how good it was for me to agree the first time!" ”

"Chen Lang is thinking too much, maybe Doctor Yushi also wanted to marry his daughter to you?" The water whispered softly.

Chen Xu pondered in his heart for a while, and found that what Shui Qingrou said turned out to be so reasonable, Meng Yi, that old treacherous and cunning greedy and lustful guy, may really have such a plan a long time ago, otherwise on the day Qinghe Garden opened, in such a patriarchal era, why didn't he take his son Meng Yun, but his thirteen-year-old daughter?

"Chen Lang is different from men in the world, don't care about gentle feelings, even if it is a matter of marriage, gentle does not need Chen Lang to follow the mundane etiquette of marrying a light matchmaker, it is enough to be gentle and be by your side!"

Shui gently lay in Chen Xu's arms and murmured, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "Senior Brother Yu has not come back from Lushan for so long, but the wedding date is approaching, and I want to go to Lushan in person, hoping to see Shizun, tell Shizun about the marriage between Qingrou and Engong, and also hope to get his blessing!" ”

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, remembering that nearly ten days had passed in the blink of an eye since he came back, and Yu Wuya had not come back yet, and he had been playing for the past few days, and he didn't even think of that big foodie at all.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the distance between Luyang and Pheasant County is only more than 100 miles in a straight line, but there is Funiu Mountain in the middle, one in the south and one in the northeast, but even if it is a bypass to Yangcheng (Fangcheng County), it is only more than 400 miles, and it is enough to go back and forth for six or seven days.

Could it be that Yu Wuya had an accident on the road?

Chen Xu was nervous for a moment and quickly dispelled this thought, according to Yu Wuya's martial arts, ordinary people will definitely not be able to keep him if they come to one hundred and eighty, at the beginning, dozens of disciples of the Mo family with strong martial arts surrounded and intercepted him and let him escape for hundreds of miles, if he was not injured by the bow and crossbow and lost too much blood, he would inevitably escape, and in addition to the organized and disciplined religious organization of the Mo family, only the official has such a strong combat power, even if there are masters among the people, it is impossible to gather dozens of them to deal with him, What's more, in this era of extremely backward communications, it is too difficult to organize and plan a premeditated siege, unless......

A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Xu's mind, and then he stood up softly holding the water.

"Chen Lang, why are you so excited?" The water gently felt Chen Xu's emotional changes in an instant.

"Gentle, Brother Yu may be in trouble, we have to go out to find him!" Chen Xu put the water down softly and said.

"Chen Lang, what did you say? Brother...... Brother, what's wrong with him? The water was gentle and suddenly tense.

"It's a long story, hurry up and prepare for us to leave together!" Chen Xu didn't have time to explain, so he went out and called a few guards and maids over to give him a careful advice, and then found Chen Jiang to explain a few words, and arranged for someone to pack up the horses and salutes.

"Xu'er, did something happen?" Chen Jiang looked at his son who was going out without warning with some worry.

"Mother, it's okay, I just received a letter from Lord Jiang from Wancheng, saying that I was invited to Wancheng to play for a few days, and I just happened to send it back to Shui's house by the way to prepare, so that I can go to greet my relatives when the time comes!" Chen Xu smiled and comforted.

"Since it was invited by Lord Jiang, you should go for a trip, be careful on the way! Go to the water house and bring all the gifts......"

"Don't worry, it's been arranged over there, I'll go over and have a look, and you can prepare at home and wait for me to marry your new daughter-in-law back!" Chen Xu took the reins from the helper's hand and turned over on the horse.

"Auntie take care of your body, and come back in a few days!" Although Shui Qingrou was worried about Yu Wuya, she thought that she would become a bride in a few days, and the hardworking and kind woman in front of her who had been with her for more than a year had also become her mother-in-law, so she felt a red heartbeat for no reason.

"You take care of the family, take care of your mother, let's go, drive~" Chen Xu knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and ran out.

"Beware of slippery roads, don't run too fast on horseback......"

Chen Jiang's advice came from behind him, but Chen Xu was already anxious at this time, the whip in his hand crackled, and the water was gentle and the whip was also waved, and the two horses quickly disappeared into the mountain path like sharp arrows.

Half an hour later, Qinghe Town.

Under the leadership of Bai Zhen and Wang Li, the two hundred guards and forbidden troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Bai Zhen to take a shortcut from the path in Funiu Mountain to Luyang, and the other was led by Wang Ben, detouring to Yangcheng along the southern foot of Funiu Mountain to the south, and then going straight to Luyang along the flat road in a big circle, and inquiring about Yu Wuya's whereabouts along the way.

Yu Wuya only said that he was going to Lushan to find his master, but he didn't say which way he was going.

However, according to Chen Xu's judgment and Yu Wuya's always bold character, he is very likely to take the trail in Funiu Mountain, after all, this road is much closer, and he may be able to cross Funiu Mountain to Luyang in half a day.

Therefore, Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou both followed Bai Zhen all the way.

Funiu Mountain is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains and valleys are deep, now it is the turn of spring and summer, the snow on the top of the mountain melts, waterfalls can be seen everywhere, the murmuring streams, the mountain flowers are splendid, the birds are singing and the apes are crying, the beasts are roaring, a primitive and charming scene.

But Chen Xu didn't have the slightest mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and more than 100 people rode horses along the mountain path and hurried.

If you rush to Lushan and find Yu Wuya, then everything doesn't matter, just go out to travel and relax, but if Yu Wuya doesn't arrive at Lushan or disappears after leaving Lushan, then the matter is big, maybe Yu Wuya has no bones.

And if something happens to Yu Wuya, then the only object of suspicion is Zhao Gao.

On the way, Chen Xu secretly told Shui Qingrou about his guess.

"If the senior brother doesn't have an accident, if something happens, Qingrou will kill Zhao Gao to avenge the senior brother!" Shui Rou turned pale from worry.

"Don't worry too much, maybe I'm thinking too much!" Chen Xu could only comfort.

The mountain path is rugged and difficult, an hour can only walk twenty miles, but in the depths of Funiu Mountain is not inaccessible, hundreds of years of the Central Plains princes scuffle, plus Nanyang is located in the rich Central Plains, occasionally you can still see some small mountain villages that are almost isolated from Xiaohe Village in the mountains, seven or eight families, all of them are dilapidated small thatched huts, and occasionally you can meet mountain people who hunt and chop wood.

These mountain people are similar to the original mountain bandits, most of them are stateless refugees and fleeing slaves, many of them have lived in the mountains for several generations, living for dozens of hundreds of years, plus the mountain roads are difficult and poisonous snakes and beasts, whether it is the officials of Pheasant County or Luyang, they are too lazy to put their hands into the mountains, so although these people are poor on weekdays, they are also quite leisurely.

But now suddenly seeing so many burly soldiers in full armor rampage, the mountain people were all pale with fright, but their homes were here, their wives and children, old and young, so they didn't dare to resist and run around, so they could only kneel on the ground and kowtow desperately to beg for mercy.

"You don't have to be afraid, we are just looking for a person, more than ten days ago, did you see a young man in black riding by here!" Chen Xu asked loudly on his horse.

"Master, I haven't seen it, there have been no strangers here for more than a month!" Hearing Chen Xu say that he was not here to arrest them, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and an old man with white hair in a shabby burlap robe replied.

"Master Hou, it seems that Brother Yu is not taking this path!" Bai Zhen whispered.

"Let's go, continue to hurry, and strive to rush to Luyang before the sun sets!" Chen Xu tugged on the reins and prepared to hit the road.

"Master stay, although I didn't see it, there is a small road on the other side of the Tiger Leaping Gorge that leads to Luyang, maybe the person you are looking for will ......pass through there," the old man stopped Chen Xu and said.

"Where's Tiger Leaping Gorge?" Chen Xu hurriedly asked.

"Go back three miles, where you can see a huge ancient pine, from a small road under the ancient pine to collect firewood seven or eight miles forward is the Tiger Leaping Gorge, after passing through the Tiger Leaping Gorge is less than forty miles away from Luyang, that is a shortcut ......"

"Thank you, boss, let's go~" Chen Xu casually took out a handful of copper coins from his jacket and threw them on the ground, then turned the horse's head and knocked the stirrups and left with people.

"Dad, why do you want to talk more? If they can't find anyone, they might come back to us for trouble! After Chen Xu and his group walked away, a middle-aged man got up and picked up the brand-new copper coins on the ground one by one, and at the same time complained with a face full of complaints.

"This young man has an extraordinary life, he is not an ordinary man!" The old man stood up and looked at the direction of Chen Xu's departure, holding his beard, with a serious expression on his face, although his clothes were shabby, he had an indifferent and uninhibited taste.

The middle-aged man snorted disdainfully: "Dad, my ancestors are not ordinary people, and now they can only hide in this barberry mountain and eat a worrying meal!" ”

The old man twitched a few times, walked to a stone next to him, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve robe, sat down and began to read.

"Hope is natural. Therefore, the wind does not end, and the rain does not end. Which one is this? Heaven and Earth ......"
