After King Wei left, Zhu Qiming's temperament changed greatly, except for eating and sleeping every day, he stayed silently on the side and thought about his thoughts every other time, and no matter how Xu Gong and Liang Gang called, he didn't want to talk to him.

Pang Zhe, who had been working in the field every day after that, would occasionally stare at Zhu Qiming before leaving or after returning home. In the clear eyes of this young prince, there were worries, tears, and there seemed to be a distant floating cloud.

After staring, Pang Zhe shook his head and sighed every time, and then left quietly. Perhaps only Pang Zhe can more or less guess Zhu Qiming's situation and thoughts.

When Xu Gong and Liang Gang came back for dinner, they saw that Zhu Qiming's expression was wrong, and they didn't dare to ask. Once, Xu Gong couldn't help it, so he asked, "When does Your Highness plan to return to Beijing?" ”

After a long time, Zhu Qiming's blank voice came: "I can't go back." ”

Zhu Qiming is immersed in his own world, and the little daughter-in-law on the other side is still angry. Zhang Xiucai will come here twice in the morning and evening, and when he meets the "Guo family", he will salivate and entangle for a while, and when he can't see anyone, he will wander for a while, and then leave. So, the scolding of his mother-in-law and the crying of his little daughter-in-law drifted to Zhu Qiming's ears from time to time, making his sanity return to reality for a short time.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhu Qiming's soul finally wandered out of a person's world, and looked indifferently at the opposite door, but saw that the door was closed, and the "Guo family" did not go out to do laundry.

Zhang Xiucai walked over at the right time, looked in for a while against the crack of the door, and said in a low voice: "The little lady of the Guo family, I know that you are happy, but you are just thin-skinned, open the door quickly, you and I are talented and beautiful, a pair made in heaven and earth, why bother with the tongue of other laymen?" ”

Zhang Xiucai's voice was very low, but it still came clearly here, Zhu Qiming suddenly got goosebumps from nausea, and Pang Zhe, who was about to go out to the ground, was so angry that he sat on the straw mat and looked at the opposite side for a while.

Zhang Xiucai didn't seem to be worried about the ears on the wall, so he leaned on the crack of the door and probed his brain, "Little lady, I know that your mother-in-law went out, and your useless man also went to the ground, there is no second person in the family, open the door quickly, if you follow me, you are the top of my heart!" ”

Zhu Qiming can't wait to cover his ears! gritted his teeth and picked up a stone, he wanted to rush out of the door, glanced back at Pang Zhe, and held back again.

Suddenly, I heard the door on the opposite side slammed open, and then there was a bang, and a basin of sewage was poured on Zhang Xiucai's body, only to see that he was covered with black and yellow dirt, and the muddy water droplets dripped down the sleeves and clothes.

The breeze sent a foul smell, and Zhu Qiming immediately covered his nose.

"A thousand cuts!" The "Guo family" seemed to be a different person, holding a broom in his hand, and pumping it on Zhang Xiucai. Zhang Xiucai desperately dodged, slipped under his feet, fell on all fours, rolled down, and never saw a clean place on his body again.

Several mothers-in-law and aunts suddenly poured out from Guo's house, pointing at Zhang Xiucai on the ground is scolding and chattering, Zhu Qiming listened to it for a long time, but he didn't even hear a word clearly.

Hey, you can lure the enemy, and you know how to find witnesses! Only then did Zhu Qiming realize that the cowardly woman was forced to be in a hurry, and that ruthlessness should not be underestimated.

Many villagers came one after another after hearing the movement, only stopped to listen to a rough idea, and then they separated right and wrong, and everyone began to reprimand Zhang Xiucai, and the children's view of right and wrong was the strongest, and a few children secretly threw stones at Zhang Xiucai, so Zhang Xiucai crawled and fled in embarrassment.

Pang Zhe smiled happily, "Many things seem to be endured, but in fact they are not, and if you endure them, you will suffer, but if you can't bear them, you will be safe." ”

Zhu Qiming nodded again and again when he heard this, "No wonder the villagers do their duty, the fear of unknown risks is very easy to restrict people's intelligence, and they can't think about the consequences clearly, so it's better to have more than one thing, which is the first choice of many people." ”

For two days in a row, Zhang Xiucai was no longer in front of Guo's house, and rumors fell into Zhu Qiming's ears. Some people say that Zhang Xiucai's wife is a fierce woman, and after hearing the news, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself at home, which made the Zhang family restless; Some people also said that Zhang Xiucai was afraid that the bad reputation on his new back would ruin his reputation and future, and planned to move.

And the Guo family is finally calm, there is no longer scolding and crying, but the "Guo family" has not gone out, it is said that he flashed his waist and had pain in his waist and abdomen.

A Lang Zhong was invited into Guo's house, and a moment later, several eldest daughters-in-law shouted excitedly at Guo's house, as if to say that "Guo's family" was pregnant and pregnant.

A moment later, the mother-in-law came to Pang Zhe's hut with an old hen and a basket of eggs, saying that it was given by her daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law was smiling all over her face, and her mouth never closed.

Such good news is worth sharing, so Pang Zhe did not shirk and happily accepted the heavy gift from the door.

The Guo family ushered in their own good days, but Zhu Qiming was very unlucky, and the moment of horror was already waiting for him not far away. In the evening, Liang Gang brought the latest news.

"Your Highness, Yun Niang is here, she said that there are many suspicious people gathering here."

Zhu Qiming looked at the curling smoke on the roof of the opposite door, and walked quickly to Pang Zhe and saluted, "Thank you, sir, for your teachings, you will never forget it in your later life!" ”

Pang Zhe helped Zhu Qiming up, "Leaving this village, there is no one in front of you, there are only a few people around Your Highness, how can you deal with yourself?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, staying here is tantamount to waiting for death, it will also affect Mr., even a village of villagers, Zhuolu Mountain is big, there is always a place to live in the later life."

Pang Zhe stared, and sighed after a moment, "Your Highness must learn to live at the height of the temple and worry about things, standing on the temple and looking at the world, enemies and friends can actually be exchanged, the seemingly most dangerous enemy is often the most reliable ally in the temple, there is no need to trade, he will suppress a large number of potential enemies identified in the temple." When His Highness comprehends this deep meaning one day, it will not be difficult to understand why his situation today is so difficult! ”

Time was in a hurry, Zhu Qiming seemed to understand it, and could only keep Pang Zhe's teachings in his heart. Say goodbye to Pang Zhe, go to the bottom of the mountain with Liang Gang, and meet Xu Gong.

Within ten miles of eastward travel, I saw Yun Niang leading more than 20 people to wait at the edge of the forest, and Niu San and Jiang Yi were in the ranks.

Niu San rushed forward first, "Your Highness, Jinyiwei has already left for the outskirts of Beijing to standby, and the two of us were a step too late to go, so we had to stay." ”

Yun Niang blasted away Niu San and approached Zhu Qiming's side, "At present, there are many suspicious people on this side of Zhuolu Mountain, Your Highness has two ways to go, the first choice is to go to the town border city, Yun Niang has a way to let His Highness hide in the city." ”

Zhu Qiming thought of King Wei's instructions, and only felt that he was really lucky to be able to meet Yun Niang and them, because the guarantee of the bottom line was there at any time! "The thief's situation is unknown, and it is really a good idea to go to the town border city at this time."

"Well, there's still a way. In Zhuolu Mountain, there is a mysterious manor, like a palace, outsiders do not know the secret way, and there is no trace of it at all. ”

"Whose palace is it?"

"Your Highness doesn't need to ask too much, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, there are people who want to make long-term plans. The current situation is critical, and His Highness can only choose the safest place to live in seclusion. ”

A clever person has more than one plan? Zhu Qiming's mind flashed quickly to the faces of all beings in the Forbidden City, and he categorically rejected Yun Niang's suggestion. "It's not yet time for the mountains and rivers to run out, so it's better to leave room between each other."

Yun Niang's face turned pale, "Yun Niang doesn't dare to force His Highness to go to the place where His Highness doesn't want to go, but Yun Niang still has to keep an eye on the retreat from the town side of the city, and can't follow His Highness, please cherish Your Highness!" ”

Leaving Niu San and Jiang Yi, Yun Niang took her subordinates to bid farewell to Zhu Qiming and hid into the dense forest on the side.

Liang Gang took out the pancakes he had brought with him before leaving, and the five of them hurriedly filled their stomachs before twilight fell.

There was a faint sound of squirting in the distance, Xu Gong and Liang Gang ran to the suspicious place separately, Niu San and Jiang Yi guarded Zhu Qiming tightly, raising their eyes vigilantly.

Suddenly, several cobblestones roared, and Jiang Yi grabbed Zhu Qiming's arm and flew to take him out of danger. Before the roar of the cobblestone landing had not stopped, more than a hundred figures appeared in the forest, and then, like locusts, flew arrows head-on.

Niu San ran towards the densest place of the figures, and a moment later there was a terrible howl. And Jiang Yi waved his knife to block the rain of arrows, opening up a space for Zhu Qiming to be accommodated.

The rain of arrows from the south side became more and more sparse, and just as Jiang Yi's speed of swinging his sword slowed down, he suddenly saw a dense rain of arrows scattered on the east side.

"Your Highness, run!"

Jiang Yi nudged Zhu Qiming, turned around to meet the rain of arrows, flying and embroidering spring knives, and had no time to care about it for a while.

Zhu Qiming didn't have time to perform Jiuhua Three Illusions, with the help of Jiang Yi's thrust, he fell on the gentle slope, and before falling to the ground, he caught a glimpse of a flying arrow piercing Jiang Yi's left arm, Jiang Yi couldn't care about the arrow wound, and the pain seemed to fall on Zhu Qiming's heart.

Tumbling all the way down the gentle slope, I felt the pain of the old wound on my back, gritted my teeth, got up and ran through the low bushes, panting and looking ahead, in front of which was a flat open field.

Stepping into the open area, there is no pause under your feet. Running wildly, but seeing the twilight falling, there were many figures on the left and right, forming two wonderful arcs, and at this moment, those two arcs were closing on his side.

Zhu Qiming stopped, faced the last residual red in the sky, and smiled sadly.
