Chapter 41: Clues

Zhu Mingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the monk fleeing, and Cuicui in his arms also recovered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but he was very surprised to see Xue Rengui appear here, and he brought a lot of soldiers, and seemed to know that he was in trouble.

"Oops! Brother Zhu, you are a hero to save the beauty! Xue Rengui saw that the monk had run away and had no intention of chasing after him, but walked straight in front of Zhu Mingyang.

"Brother Xue, how did you know we were here?" Zhu Mingyang looked at Xue Rengui suspiciously.

"Of course I'm leading the way!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from among the soldiers, and Di Renjie walked out from behind the soldiers.

"Brother Di, it's you!" Zhu Mingyang should have thought that Di Renjie led the way.

It turned out that after Di Renjie saw Zhu Mingyang leaving in a hurry in Cuicui's room, he thought that Cuicui was most likely taken away by the monks, and Zhu Mingyang would definitely be in danger if he blindly went up the mountain, so he prepared to enter the palace to move the rescue troops, and just happened to meet Xue Rengui, who was guarding the city gate. After Di Renjie told Xue Rengui about the matter, Xue Rengui was filled with righteous indignation, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the mountain, he found that it was Zhu Mingyang who Di Renjie moved the rescue soldiers to save.

"It seems that you and I are really fateful!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Xue, I'm smiling!" Zhu Mingyang raised his hand a little higher, and the hand holding Cuicui became a little numb.

"Brother Zhu, Cuicui is fine, you let me down!" Cuicui saw that Zhu Mingyang's hand was a little stiff, and said distressedly.

"Then you have to promise Brother Zhu to live well!" Zhu Mingyang was really frightened by the scene in the cave.

"Hmmm! Cuicui promised Brother Zhu! It seems that only with Zhu Mingyang can Cuicui forget the nightmare.

"I don't know, how is Miss Cuicui? Can Zhu Gongzi know who this monk is? Di Renjie looked at Cuicui in Zhu Mingyang's arms, wanting to investigate the details of the monk from Cuicui's mouth.

"Just frightened! It should be fine. Zhu Mingyang didn't answer Di Renjie's second question, he didn't want Cuicui to recall the nightmare.

"It's getting late, the gates are probably closed, and the way down the mountain is not easy, so it looks like we're going to spend the night here." Di Renjie is a smart person, and when he saw Zhu Mingyang wrapping Cuicui in a fox fur, he had guessed that eight or nine would not be far from ten, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.

Zhu Mingyang pulled Cuicui to find a clean place to sit down by the bonfire, and Cuicui gently rested her head on Zhu Mingyang's shoulder. Di Renjie saw that it was impossible to find clues from Cuicui, so he walked into the cave to investigate. Xue Rengui organized soldiers to count the casualties, and the workers were killed and two were wounded, and more than ten were injured. Seeing that everyone was still on an empty stomach, Li Chunfeng took a group of workers to the mountains to look for food.

"I don't know, what does Zhu Gongzi think of these monks!" Di Renjie surveyed around the cave and the woods and sat down opposite Zhu Mingyang.

"I feel a little strange about these monks!" Zhu Mingyang picked up a wooden stick from the pyre next to him and threw it into the bonfire.

"Strange? How so? Di Renjie said suspiciously.

"First of all, the accent of these monks is like a northern accent, not like Tibet. Secondly, the monks practice Buddhism, but you don't find that everything they do is contrary to the teachings of Buddhism. Furthermore, do you remember the first time you met these monks in a fishing village? It seems that they are deliberately trying to let others know who they are. Zhu Mingyang looked at the bonfire and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that Zhu Gongzi's thoughts coincide with mine! Another thing, they seem to care about you very much, and they are coming at you. Think about it, if it is an ordinary bandit robbery, why do you need to grab it from Yuezhou to Chang'an, Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, who has such courage. Also, when you found Cuicui, didn't you find that there was no one guarding Cuicui? If the monks really went to buy wine, they should always leave some people to take care of this cave, so they deliberately brought you here. So, you have to be extra careful in the future. Di Renjie cast a concerned glance at Zhu Mingyang.

"It's all because I'm useless, I can't even protect my beloved woman, and I'm still a man." Zhu Mingyang began to blame himself.

"Cuicui doesn't blame Brother Zhu, it's Cuicui who dragged Brother Zhu down!" Cuicui saw Zhu Mingyang's deep self-blame, and the little bird hugged Zhu Mingyang tightly.

"Tsk...... Don't let me touch these monks, if I do, I will stab them into a hornet's nest with a few shots. Xue Rengui said angrily.

"It's so lively! See what I've brought you? While the three were talking, Li Chunfeng asked the workers to carry a wild boar over.

"It's really yours, where did you get such a big prey!" Xue Rengui hurriedly ran over to help.

After a while, a wild boar was divided into pieces by everyone. Zhu Mingyang put a string of wild boar meat on the fire with a wooden stick and roasted it until it was browned, and handed it to Cuicui beside him, probably because he was hungry for a day, Cuicui picked up the wild boar meat and ate it slowly, Zhu Mingyang saw that there was still a trace of tears on Cuicui's pale face, and couldn't help but caress Cuicui's cheeks.

"Is there anything better here?" I saw that Xue Rengui didn't know where to get a jar of wine.

"I didn't expect you to forget to bring this thing with you." Di Renjie said sarcastically.

"Then you wronged me, this is what the monk left just now." Xue Rengui took a sip and handed the wine jar to Zhu Mingyang, Zhu Mingyang also took a small sip when he saw Xue Rengui so bold, and felt that this wine was not like the spirits sold in Chang'an, it was sweet in his mouth, Zhu Mingyang drank it and handed it to Di Renjie, and Di Renjie handed it to Li Chunfeng after drinking. The four of them drank a jar of wine together, surrounded the bonfire, talking and laughing, but a jar of wine was empty.
