Hei Niang was here just now, Xu Shan had a lot of things that were inconvenient to say, and after she left, he told him about the reactions of all aspects of the court after Zhao Yan left, but Zhao Yan was most concerned about the reaction of the family, after all, he was the backbone of the county prince's mansion, and Cao Ying was just a weak woman no matter how strong she was.

"Don't worry, before I came, Huang Gong specially told us, let us see the princess of the county and tell you, the princess of the county is at ease, only the princess and the two princesses know about your disappearance, and the rest of the ladies are temporarily hidden." Xu Shan and Zhao Yan have been together for so long, so they naturally know that he cares most about family affairs, so he immediately reported it.

"My disappearance has been for more than half a month, I'm afraid I can't hide it even if I want to, it's just that Ning'er and Si'er didn't ask openly, but the more this is the case, I'm afraid the more worried they will be, you hurry up and send back the news that you have found me, so that the family can rest assured!" Zhao Yan sighed when he heard Xu Shan's words, the last time he had an accident in Liaoguo, the embroidery was also hidden from his family, but afterwards he was complained by Xue Ning'er, with this criminal record, I am afraid it will be difficult to deceive them this time.

"Don't worry, we brought a few carrier pigeons when we came out, as long as we see you, we will release those carrier pigeons that have flown back just now, it is estimated that Huang Gong will soon send someone to pick them up, and we also have the right to mobilize the local Imperial City Division, and when these people arrive, the county king will be safe!" Xu Shan said with a firm face, last time he was working with Zhou Tong and He Li to protect Zhao Yan's safety, and this time he encountered Zhao Yan in danger again. Although there should be no danger now, he still dare not take it lightly.

"Well, I don't have to worry about you doing things, my safety and return to Beijing will be arranged by you!" Zhao Yan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, this unconditional trust once again moved Xu Shan, and patted his chest at the moment to reassure. As long as he still has a breath, he will definitely not let anyone hurt Zhao Yan.

The arrival of Xu Shan and the others finally made Zhao Yan breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked in detail what happened after he left. We chatted like this until it was getting late, and then the black lady shouted outside: "Brother Zhang, hurry up and come out for dinner!" ”

Hearing Hei Niang's voice, Zhao Yan felt a little hungry at this time, and he thought that Xu Shan and they had been in the cave for so long, and they must have eaten dry food every day, which also made him smile at Xu Shan and them: "You must not have eaten a good meal these days." However, you can also see the situation in Hei Niang's house, there must not be any too hearty meals here, but Hei Niang's cooking skills are still good, so don't be too picky. ”

"Where is the king of the county, our brothers are not so squeamish, when they are really hungry, they have even eaten rats and earthworms, not to mention serious meals." Xu Shan also laughed when he heard this. He knew that as long as he didn't get down to business, he didn't have to be too restrained in front of Zhao Yan.

However, Zhao Yan was startled when he heard Xu Shan's words. At that moment, I couldn't help but ask: "Xu Shan, have you really eaten rats and earthworms?" ”

"Hehe, the eighteen tribes of Tubo conspired to go south to loot in the spring of the next year, and the subordinates and two brothers only found out the news in the winter, and thought that they could make a great contribution by this, so they hurried overnight. But we didn't expect to encounter heavy snow on the road, we were trapped in a col for more than half a month, fortunately there is more shelter, but not buried by the heavy snow, but we have no food. So I could only catch mice and dig earthworms to eat, and finally boiled until the snow melted a little, and then finally rushed to the border to pass on the news. ”

"Well done!" Zhao Yan stretched out his thumb and exclaimed loudly, although what the Imperial City Division did was a little unsightly, they were also working for the Great Song Dynasty, and even sometimes the hardships they paid were far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"The king of the county praised falsely, in fact, in that case, the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the frontier is far more important than anything, I believe that others in my position will make the same choice." Xu Shan smiled and said modestly, in fact, eating rats and insects is not a big deal for him at all, if he talks about some other experiences in the past, I am afraid it will make Zhao Yan even more surprised.

At that moment, Zhao Yan took Xu Shan and them to eat, Hei Niang's house was small, and even the place where she lived was very crowded, and it was impossible to have a restaurant dedicated to eating, but the Zhuang family was not so particular, Hei Niang directly moved a few low tables to the tree in the yard, and then beckoned Zhao Yan and them to sit down around the table to eat.

Originally, Xu Shan didn't dare to eat with Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan directly asked them to sit together, which made Xu Shan think of the time he had with Zhao Yan in the Jurchen before, and in the end, he was not polite anymore and asked a few of his subordinates to sit down and eat together. Today's meal is not as rich as Zhao Yan said, the most conspicuous thing is the roasted fish in a big basin in the middle, and most of the rest are wild vegetables, but Xu Shan and they are not picky, but they eat very sweet.

After dinner, Zhao Yan found a problem, that is, Xu Shan and they had no place to live, there were only three rooms in Hei Niang's house, her brother and sister-in-law lived in one main room, and she lived in one by herself, and then Yan Yuru and Zhao Yan squeezed one, so that there was no other room in the house.

"Brother Zhang, I'll go to the village and ask who has a vacant house, and settle Brother Xu and them." Hei Niang saw that it was dark, and thought that Xu Shan had no place to live, so she spoke.

"Thank you, little lady, but it took us a lot of effort to find the princess, and we must ensure the safety of the child, so we will just rest outside the child's room tonight!" When Xu Shan heard this, he said to Hei Niang, before a large number of people arrived, he would definitely not leave Zhao Yan for half a step.

"How can this work, it's not summer now, it's very cold at night, and it's easy for you to get sick outside all the time!" Hei Niang objected when she heard Xu Shan's words, and she felt that Zhao Yan had lived here for so many days, and there was no danger at all, so Xu Shan and they didn't need to guard outside.

"No, we have to stay by Childe's side!" Xu Shan repeated again at this time, although he did not speak loudly, but with an unquestionable and firm tone.

"But ......" Hei Niang just wanted to say something more when she heard this, but at this time, Zhao Yan interrupted her and said, "Hei Niang, you don't have to persuade anymore, this is Xu Shan's duty, even if I let them leave, they will definitely not leave." ”

What Zhao Yan said is also the truth, Xu Shan, as the people of the Imperial City Division, will definitely follow them inch by inch after seeing Zhao Yan, this is also the order given to them by Huang Wude, otherwise if Huang Wude knows that Xu Shan did not do this, I am afraid that even if Zhao Yan intercedes for them, it will be difficult for them to avoid punishment.

Hei Niang also showed a strange expression on her face when she heard Zhao Yan say the same, but she grew up in Dahu Village since she was a child, and she had never seen much of the world, and she thought that rich people outside had such habits, so she didn't say anything more, turned around and left to wash the dishes.

However, Hei Niang just left for a while, but suddenly came back, and when she saw Zhao Yan and Xu Shan, she immediately smiled and said: "Little Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry, the problem of the house has been solved, just now my sister-in-law took the initiative to tell me that she would go back to her mother's house with my brother to live for two days, so Brother Xu, you can live in my brother's room, but you are afraid that you will have to squeeze it." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this was not like the style of Hei Niang's sister-in-law, but he quickly understood, it was estimated that Hei Niang's sister-in-law guessed Zhao Yan's identity after seeing Xu Shan and the others, and other people in the village also guessed this, so Hei Niang's sister-in-law would take the initiative to show favor to Zhao Yan by letting the house happen, and it was also to make up for the bad impression left on Zhao Yan before.

"Haha, since that's the case, then I'll thank you big brother on behalf of Xu Shan!" Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan said to Hei Niang with a smile, and he only mentioned thanking Boss Xu in his words, but did not mention thanking Hei Niang's sister-in-law, which is obviously also a hint.

Hei Niang is also a smart woman, and she immediately heard Zhao Yan's words, which made her very happy, turned around and hummed a little song to clean up the room, Xu Shan They didn't understand the words between Zhao Yan and Hei Niang, but they didn't care about these at all, as long as they could ensure Zhao Yan's safety.

Xu Shan and they temporarily stayed at Hei Niang's house, although they had released the carrier pigeons before, but Huang Wude was in the capital, even if they received the news, it was impossible to come immediately, so in the early morning of the next day, Xu Shan sent a henchman to the local county seat, they had a warrant signed by Zhao Shu personally, and if necessary, they could even mobilize the local garrison to protect Zhao Yan.

Regarding Xu Shan's arrangement, Zhao Yan really didn't interfere at all as he said before, and handed over everything to Xu Shan to do, this is not that Zhao Yan is lazy or careless, but a form of trust, after all, for a brother who was born and died with him, Zhao Yan can be said to have unreserved trust in Xu Shan.

Hei Niang still doesn't know Zhao Yan's identity, but the whole Dahu Village is speculating about this matter, Hei Niang doesn't care much about this, and even jokes with Zhao Yan about some rumors heard in the village, for Zhao Yan's identity, the villagers' speculations are varied, some people say that he is the son of a wealthy businessman, some people say that he is the son of the dynasty, and some people say that he is the yain of a certain minister, Zhao Yan just laughed at this, and didn't take it to heart at all.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day of Xu Shan's arrival, and the people sent out by Xu Shan still hadn't returned, and the speculation about Zhao Yan's identity in the village had finally cooled down, but in the afternoon of that day, a heavily armed army suddenly rushed to the northeast of the village.
