Han Jian almost understood when he heard this, the reason why this old woman would take the risk of letting them enter the door was just to covet the five taels of silver, and the old woman obviously wanted to use it for her son to marry his daughter-in-law.

Han Jian didn't ask much, went in to boil water, although Han Jian was the king of the East, he was still familiar with making firewood and burning firewood, and the old woman wanted to help but was also politely declined by Han Jian.

By the time Han Jian decocted the medicine and sent it to the kang, Yang Li'er had already slept for a while, and her complexion was much better. Han Jian brought Yang Li'er a strip of cloth to bandage again, and this time Yang Li'er could already bandage it by herself without Han Jian's help.

In the afternoon, the second pillar who went out to plow the land had not returned, and the old woman seemed a little nervous, and kept looking at the mountain at the door. Han Jian poured out the medicine residue, saw the old woman's anxious appearance, and said, "Auntie, just going up the mountain to plow the ground, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?" ”

The old woman sighed: "Little brother, you don't know, the place has not been peaceful recently, and it is said that there is chaos in the court in the north, and there are many strong men arrested in the place. Erzhu has already been arrested once for hard labor, and he has just come back, and if he is arrested again, he may not know when he will come back. ”

"Is there still a strong man in the local area?" Yang Li'er's voice came from the front of the house.

Han Jian turned to look at Yang Li'er, who reluctantly held on to the door and wanted to come out, as if she didn't want Han Jian to help.

"Li'er, how did you come out?" Han Jian stepped forward to help, but was glared at by Yang Li'er, she was blaming Han Jian for still being so affectionate to her in front of others.

"Come out and be respectful, can't you?" Yang Li'er said with a bit of resentment.

"I'll help you." Han Jian still stepped forward to help Yang Li'er.

At this time, the old woman replied: "The king of the south said that he was not allowed to catch strong men, but he did not catch strong men below." Who will fight for them? Therefore, whenever there is any chaos, there will be soldiers coming down, and they will be scared when they look at it. ”

Han Jian turned to glance at Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian and said, "What do you see?" The upward and downward lines are not effective, don't you understand? ”

Han Jian helped Yang Li'er and said with a smile: "It seems that it is not my turn to ask about the affairs of Yuzhou." ”

Yang Li'er didn't speak, and with Han Jian's help, she went to the edge of the thatched house, and Han Jian personally held the door for her.

After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of fast footsteps at the door. It looks like someone has arrived at the gate of the courtyard. There was a knock on the courtyard door. said: "Erzhu has been arrested, Sister-in-law Liu hurried to ransom people!" ”

The old woman was unstable, sat directly on the ground, cried and pounded the ground: "Why is Erzhu so careless!" ”

"Caught a strong man. Can it be redeemed? Han Jian asked puzzled.

"yes. Brother. I'm going to redeem Erzhu, you...... And this girl is here and waiting. ”

Han Jian nodded, since it can be solved with silver. That shouldn't be too big. Han Jian asked, "Does the eldest lady have the money to redeem people?" ”

The old woman wiped away her tears and said, "Fortunately, there is the silver you gave me, little brother." If you can redeem Erzhu, little brother, you will be the lucky star of our family. ”

said that the old woman was going to go out, and Han Jian was going to send it, but the old woman was worried that Han Jian was also arrested, so she insisted on going alone.

Han Jian wanted to stay and take care of Yang Li'er, so he was not reluctant. The old woman went out and told her not to open the door casually, so she left in a hurry, leaving only Han Jian and Yang Li'er in the whole courtyard.

Han Jian helped Yang Li'er to return to the kang, Yang Li'er seemed to be a little indignant, and said: "Local officials always use various names to oppress the people, even if my father orders it repeatedly, it is still lawless. ”

"Li'er, we can't solve this for the time being, you just rest first, and when your condition improves, I will accompany you to Yuzhou." Han Jian said.

"Why don't you care? Feelings are not the business of your East Palace. Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian, a little annoyed that Han Jian said so lightly.

Han Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, Yang Li'er is not in a good temper now, and he is easy to get angry when he says anything, and he also knows how to avoid his sharpness and not provoke Yang Li'er.

The two of them continued until dusk, and still did not see the old woman and Erzhu come back, and Han Jian lit the oil lamp. At this time, Yang Li'er was a little anxious and said, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

"As long as you take the money, there shouldn't be any major problems." Han Jian said, "Even if they refuse to release people, the eldest mother should come back and explain the situation." Don't worry too much, your injuries matter. ”

In the first half of the night, the whole village was quiet, not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and this silence was unusually terrifying. Han Jian also felt that it was not normal, but at this moment, he heard a shouting sound in the distance, followed by the sound of someone smashing, and the fire also rose, as if bandits were burning and looting in the village.

"What's wrong?" Yang Li'er had taken the medicine and had slept for a while, and when she heard the movement outside, she couldn't help but sit up and look outside nervously.

"It's not quite right." Han Jian said, "Let's either hide for the time being, or go back to the mountains." ”

Han Jian remembered that the horses were still outside, and if someone found out, the horses were all military horses, and they would definitely cause trouble.

Han Jian was about to go out and lead the horse into the yard, but he had already heard someone coming near the entrance of the alley. Han Jian hurriedly beckoned Yang Li'er to come down, ready to fight or flee at any time, and at this time, there was a fire outside the courtyard gate, and someone was knocking on the door.

"Bang! Nation! Nation! ”

Han Jian pulled out the long sword, but Yang Li'er held down Han Jian's saber and said, "It may be a soldier from the Southern Palace." ”

"Not necessarily." Han Jian said, "When did the soldiers of your Southern Wangfu become mountain bandits?" ”

Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian, at this time, the courtyard door had been broken in, and several people with knives and torches rushed in, and when they saw Han Jian and Yang Li'er standing in front of the door, one of them shouted: "This is someone, tied up!" ”

Yang Li'er shouted: "Who dares to be rude? ”

Yang Li'er's shout was a bit intimidating, and the few people who wanted to rush up were stunned, but some of them sneered and said, "Damn, it's still a little girl's skin, take it!" Go back and get to the bottom of it! ”

was about to rush forward, but Han Jian swung his sword, knocking down one with a sword, and in an instant, only one of the five or six people who rushed up was still standing.

"What's the matter? Dare to come? Han Jian said with a fierce look.

"Withdraw!" The rest of the people ran away, and Han Jian didn't chase after him. directly helped Yang Li'er out of the door and helped Yang Li'er onto the horse. Avoiding the fire, the two hurried out of the village and up the hill behind the village.

When he arrived outside the village, Han Jian's hanging heart was finally relieved. Fortunately, those unknown people just now were scattered out to arrest people, and if he ran into thirty or fifty people, he really couldn't deal with it.

When Han Jian and Yang Li'er arrived on the mountain behind the village, Han Jian helped Yang Li'er off the horse and said, "Let's rest first, it's secluded here." Even during the day, it may not be found. ”

Yang Li'er sat in the grass. With a sad expression, he said: "I didn't expect this place to be close to Yuzhou, but it's still so messy!" ”

Han Jian said: "Now that the monarchy is falling, even ordinary people know that the country is not ownerless. It is reasonable for the local government to take advantage of this time to make some trouble. It is believed that things will soon settle down. ”

Yang Li'er looked in the direction of the village. At this time, the village was already in flames. Apparently the entire village was burned.

"I don't know what happened to the lady and his son."

"Jiren has his own nature." Han Jian said.

Yang Li'er and Han Jian sat quietly in the grass, and suddenly there was a shouting and killing sound at the bottom of the mountain, and Han Jian got up and looked. It seems that a large group of officers and soldiers have entered the village and are fighting against the "mountain bandits" who have entered the village.

Han Jian said: "This time it should be the soldiers of your Southern Palace." ”

"The ones before should have been." Yang Li'er said, "They go out and do things in a team system, and they can't be wrong." ”

Han Jian smiled, it was rare for Yang Li'er to understand that she was still pretending to be confused, as for why there was a conflict between the local garrisons of Nanwangfu, Han Jian couldn't say clearly. I only know that at least those officers and soldiers who are making trouble are already being suppressed.

Han Jian took the dry food and water to Yang Li'er to eat, but Yang Li'er didn't take it, Han Jian knew that Yang Li'er was injured at this time, her appetite was not good, and the local riots in Yuzhou made her even less bothered to eat and drink.

Han Jian hugged Yang Li'er and wanted to comfort Yang Li'er, originally Han Jian thought that she would push away, but he didn't expect Yang Li'er to lean on Han Jian's shoulder, as if he had taken him as his own support.

"Do you really want to go back to Yuzhou with me?" Yang Li'er asked softly.

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, without any other words.

"I'm cold." Yang Li'er said suddenly.

"I'll put my clothes over you." Han Jian was about to untie his clothes, but he didn't expect Yang Li'er to lean over, and directly leaned his whole body into Han Jian's arms.

Han Jian didn't expect Yang Li'er to be so enthusiastic when she was "cold", and just as she felt a little unbearable, Yang Li'er raised her head and glared at Han Jian. There was resentment in this gaze, which made Han Jian a little incomprehensible.

"It's too dangerous here, let's go to the mountains!" Yang Li'er said.

"Okay." Han Jian got up, helped Yang Li'er to get on the horse, and the two walked along the mountain road until they reached the mountains.

When they arrived at a dilapidated house, Han Jian helped Yang Li'er to get off the horse, and the two of them entered it only when they realized that it was a land temple.

"Qi'er, do you remember that we were in the Land Temple outside Luoyang City, and we spent a day?" When Han Jian arrived at the Land Temple, he felt a little familiar, so he asked with a smile.

"Make a fire." Yang Li'er's tone seemed to be ordering.

Han Jian casually found some branches, lit the fire, and sat in the broken temple with Yang Li'er, leaning against the small fire in a daze.

"Why did you refuse His Majesty's marriage in the first place?" Yang Li'er leaned into Han Jian's arms and asked.

Han Jian didn't expect Yang Li'er to still struggle with this problem, thought about it, and said, "At that time, I didn't know each other well with you, and I was afraid that Li'er was not a person." ”

"You're kind, aren't you?" Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian, and suddenly felt that her gaze was too fierce, and then her gaze softened, and she leaned her head back on Han Jian's arms.

Han Jian hugged Yang Li'er, only feeling that time passed quickly at this moment, and he really wanted to hold Yang Ci'er like this. But he also knew that Gu Xin'er was still waiting for him, even if there was no Gu Xin'er, he might not be able to stay with Yang Xin'er.

Han Jian has always kept a secret in his heart, this time he came to Yuzhou, although he tried his best to complete the marriage with Yang Li'er, but more importantly, he wanted to take advantage of this marriage between the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu, so that Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, would continue to be loyal to the empress, and the two families of the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu could work together to serve the king.
