Chapter 167: Danzhou Trip
Zhou Nan had no choice but to let his nostalgic ox cart stop, sit up, and look around, they had already entered the mountain, and looked around, there were mountain flowers and wild grasses, lonely trees and old vines.
Yu Liyan and the silver bottle also jumped off the ox cart, stretched their waists and legs, and didn't ask Zhou Nan where they were going to go, after this night and day of contact, although she still didn't know why Zhou Nan saved her, but she knew that Zhou Nan had no ill will towards her, let alone get anything from her - no one will risk their lives to fight for unreachable and indefinite money, and besides, all she has on her body is this jade bracelet that is valuable. So now Yu Liyan's demeanor is the most relaxed, even if she has to sleep hungry in the field tonight, she won't feel bitter.
Zhou Nan called Zuo Xiaosi, Gao Yuan and others over, squatted beside the ox cart, and said to Gao Yuan: "Big brother, now we have to go separately." One way back to the cottage, the other way to send the princess home - that is, Danzhou. After splitting into two roads, make some arrangements, and if there are pursuers behind, lead them to the road back to the cottage, and then throw them off halfway. The other way went to the three people, sent the princess home, and then returned to the cottage. Do you think so? ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Save people and save them to the end, Da Lang is right to do this." If you have been rescued, you cannot be left on the way. Are you familiar with the road to Danzhou? After saying that, Gao Yuan grinned, Zhou Nan shook his head - the ghost knows where Danzhou is, he only knows that Danzhou is near Yanjing, but he doesn't know the specific location. Zhou Nan said: "Then I will go back to the village with Brother Shouzhong, you take Fourth Brother Zuo and Shouxiao to send the princess, and you can use the ox cart." ”
Gao Yuan said: "That's it. After speaking, he stood up and walked over to Yu Liyan, and said, "Princess, the villain partners have something else to do, so I and these two partners will send you home, it's not early, let's go now." ”
Yu Liyan looked at Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao who Gao Yuan was pointing at, shook his head, and Gao Yuan asked strangely: "The princess doesn't want to go home?" ”
The silver bottle said on the side: "My princess and your partner are not familiar with each other, so you must send it to Brother Zhou to feel at ease." Yu Liyan didn't shake her head or nod, as if she had nothing to do with her.
Gao Yuan smiled: "Then let Da Lang and my brother Gao change, okay?" Seeing that the two of them had no opinion, they went over and rearranged it, and looked at the sun setting in the west, and it was about to get dark, so the two groups of people separated, all the way to the south, all the way to the north.
Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan, Zuo Xiaosi, Hu Dugu, and then the princess and the servant, sat on a wide ox cart and walked slowly along the mountain path. Along the way, Hu Dugu didn't talk much, and Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan had long suspected that Hu Dugu had colluded with Yelu Yujian to rob his master's seal. It's just that Hu Dugu finally sacrificed himself to take an arrow for the princess, and the princess is also very grateful, so Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan don't say much, after all, the master is not disgusted, what do I have to say?
After walking for a while, the silver bottle was so young that he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhou, we have been walking for a long time, why did the officials and soldiers chase it out?" ”
Zhou Nan sat in the back of the car, his legs blowing on the edge of the car, and said: "These officers and soldiers don't dare to go out of the city to arrest us, they must report to the superiors and order us to be arrested, and these officers and soldiers will come out, so it will be too late." ”
The silver bottle asked reluctantly: "Then how did you expect that they would chase us, so you urged us to hurry up all the way?" ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help but laugh and said: "If there is a big cage in front of you, and there is a tiger in it, someone will come to open the cage after a while, and the tiger will come out, when will you run?" ”
"Of course we ran away before the cage was opened, and when the cage was opened, how could we outrun the tiger - ah, you don't know if you're going to chase us, just run away first, but?"
Zhou Nan smiled, but he didn't see Yu Liyan's eyes smiling at him.
"Brother Gao," Yinhua began to ask Gao Yuan again, "Have you ever been to Danzhou?" ”
"I have only been to Changping and Shunzhou, but I have never been to Danzhou." Gao Yuan shook his head.
"When I get home this time, the slave family invites you to eat Danzhou plums, okay? It's a pity that the sweet chestnut and red crispy pear are not yet ripe. "The silver bottle is very happy when it comes to going home.
Seeing that it was getting late and in the mountains, Gao Yuan, as a hunter, naturally knew what to do. He called Zuo Xiaosi and left with a bow and arrow. After a while, Zuo Xiaosi came back alone, drove the ox cart, and led the group to turn into a hillside with trees in front of and behind the hillside. It was secluded and high up for a night's rest, and a bonfire had been lit in the leeward of the hillside, but there was no light at all from the way they came.
Gao Yuan was collecting the game he had caught by the creek not far away, and after a while he came back with two hares and three pheasants that had been peeled. A few people sat down, gathered around the bonfire, and roasted the hares and pheasants on the fire. There was no salt, and a few people just ate a few bites in a hurry, filled their stomachs, and prepared to rest early.
Until now, I haven't seen the officials and soldiers chasing after me, and it seems that they were led to other roads by Gao Shouzhong and Gao Shouxiao. It seems that there is no need to worry about the officers and soldiers tonight.
Gao Yuan roasted a cave next to the hillside with a fire, and there was no smell of wild things in it, so he found some grass in the silver bottle and spread it, and Gao Yuan took a blanket from the ox cart and spread it, and came out.
Zhou Nan asked Zuo Xiaosi and Hu Dugu to rest first. At this time, Zhou Nan was sitting by the bonfire, Gao Yuan came over and said to Zhou Nan: "If there is a jar of steamed wine at this time, it would be great." ”
Zhou Nan looked at Gao Yuan and sat down, and said, "Big brother, there are so many things that happened this time, do you blame me for being troublesome?" ”
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "How can you talk like this?" Although I don't understand why you have to go to such great lengths to save the princess, and you can save it, how can I blame you? ”
Yu Liyan just ate roasted rabbit meat, his hands were a little greasy, he wanted to go to the stream to wash his hands, just walked out of the cave, he saw Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan sitting by the bonfire talking, only to hear the sound of "pop", stepping on a dead branch under his feet, Yu Liyan hurriedly squatted down, not wanting to be seen by the two, misunderstanding that she was eavesdropping at the back door.
Zhou Nan heard the movement, looked around, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he put his mind at ease, and continued: "I'm just afraid that you will feel that it is not worth it to take the lives of our brothers just to save a down-and-out princess." ”
Gao Yuan Zhengse said: "Da Lang, the princess and we have also known each other, and now that we have met us this time, if we don't rescue us, I am only afraid that my conscience will be disturbed in the future." We sent the princess to the Danzhou home this time, and we were at ease. The princess is also pitiful, she is the same age as Yun'er, but she is left alone. ”
Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Actually, I am bent on saving the princess, and there is another reason. ”
