Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ye Xiaotian and the three of them traveled all the way west, and the area they passed through gradually became a place where various ethnic groups lived together, and the people of at least ten ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Hui, Zhuang, Yi, Yao, Bai, and She were scattered in small villages along the way.
The folk customs here are very different from those of the Central Plains, and the government's control is relatively weak, and in some places where the geographical shape is harsh and the folk customs are fierce, the area that the county order can control is actually limited to the county seat. In this case, law and order will naturally be even worse. For the sake of safety, Ye Xiaotian always had to find a business traveler on the same road before he went on the road.
On this day, they finally came to Huangzhou Mansion. As long as they pass through Huangzhou, there is a road that runs through the north and south, and they can turn to the road to the capital, Ye Xiaotian was both happy and worried in his heart, happy that he was finally going to set foot on the way home, and worried that there was only the last penny left in his pocket.
Although there is a road that runs through the north and south of Huangzhou City, this road is a post road opened up from the reckless mountains, and it is a long and winding post road in the mountains from Huangzhou to the next big city, and it takes four days to get to Guò at the earliest.
During this period, almost all of them are lofty mountains, it is difficult to encounter people, and people who are penniless and lonely cannot get through guò no matter what, but Ye Xiaotian did not stop there, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the optimistic Xiaotian has always believed that there is no endless road to the sky.
After entering the city, he spent his last penny to buy three vegetable buns, and the three of them barely managed to deal with it, and immediately walked to Xicheng.
Since entering Huangzhou City, Xue Shuiwu has been a little worried, but Ye Xiaotian is both happy and worried at this time, and he doesn't notice it at all. Xue Shuiwu was preoccupied, and couldn't help but take a few steps behind, looking at the back of Leyao walking briskly, she wanted to speak a few times, but finally closed her mouth again.
Now seeing that the West Gate is imminent, Shui Wu finally mustered up the courage and quickly chased forward, just about to say something to Ye Xiaotian, but Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped, pulled her up, and quickly flashed to the corner of the intersection.
Xue Shuiwu said in surprise: "Brother Ye, what's wrong?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Silence! ”
He handed Le Yao to Shui Wu, quietly poked his head out against the corner of the wall, and watched into the distance for a while, his eyebrows frowned, and his face gradually became gloomy.
At the city gate, the people and merchants were going in and out, only two half-dead soldiers leaned against the city gate, lazily looking at the people entering and leaving, and in the shadow of the city wall, there were five or six big men standing there.
The pestle they were looking forward to was particularly conspicuous under a city gate that was not very lively, and one of them was thin and thin, and it was Yang Sansan who was thin. Ye Xiaotian never expected that they would chase after them, and they would guard the only exit to return north!
Yang Santhin sat on a stone pier, wearing a straw hat, and was nibbling on a piece of watermelon.
He spit out melon seeds while begging the people out of the city. Unless there is a vehicle that can hide people, he doesn't have to deliberately come forward to check, Ye Xiaotian and Xue Shuiwu are carrying a small child, such a combination is easy to identify.
He said that he chased a long way to the official road in the north of Jingzhou, and he never saw the figure of Ye Xiaotian and the others, Yang Sanshou immediately realized that something was wrong, even if Ye Xiaotian and the three of them borrowed someone else's car, they could not be faster than their horses, since they couldn't catch up, it was likely that they were behind them, or they hadn't left Jingzhou at all.
Yang San immediately circled around and searched back, and when he returned to Jingzhou City, there was no shadow of Ye Xiaotian. Yang San went back to Mrs. Yang in a sloppy manner, thinking that Ye Xiaotian and the three of them would be able to escape by luck, but Mrs. gave a strict order, asking him to find the place where Shui Wu's mother and daughter were put to death no matter what.
Yang Sanshou didn't understand why his wife was so persistent, but he could only secretly slander how terrible a cautious woman was, as a house slave, he couldn't and didn't dare to disobey his master's orders, so he could only carry it out to the letter.
But it is not easy for them to catch Ye Xiaotian, Yang Sanshou took great pains to find out that Ye Xiaotian and they were heading west, Yang Sanshou followed all the way to catch up, but every time it was a mistake, and he was a step late.
In view of this, Yang Sanshou simply divided half of the men and horses to follow the trail, and he took the other half of the men and horses to rush to Huangzhou Mansion at night, blocking this only road to the capital.
Ye Xiaotian said to Xue Shuiwu: "Yang Sanshou is here, just in front of the city gate. ”
"What?" Xue Shuiwu's face turned pale when he heard this.
Ye Xiaotian's sharp eyes stared at her, and asked in a deep voice, "Why does Mrs. Yang have to put you to death?" ”
Xue Shuiwu's face was full of confusion, he thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I...... I don't understand, it doesn't make sense, why does she hate Xiao ...... so much Little girl, it doesn't make sense at all. ”
Ye Xiaotian always felt that Shui Wu's words were a bit untrue, and unreasonable persecution was not without reason, if a person could enjoy almost unfettered power, then whether it was madness or unscrupulousness, there was no reason to talk about it at all.
But Mrs. Yang obviously does not have such power, and there are still many constraints on her, so if she insists on doing so, it is impossible for her to have no purpose or no reason. But now is not the time to ask, Ye Xiaotian glanced at Shui Wu deeply, and then poked his head out to observe the movement at the city gate.
Shui Wu bit her lip and said, "Since they are guarding the city gate, what should we do?" Or...... Why don't you hide in the city for a few days? ”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Who knows if they only have these few people?" What if someone else in the city is looking for our movements? The night is long and there are many dreams, we must try our best to get out of the city to be safer. ”
Xue Shuiwu looked at the big men guarding the city gate, and said worriedly: "How can we get out, we can't get out, and we can't break out......
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to go out, it doesn't mean you can't get out." There is no endless way, and we can always find a way. ”
At this time, the group walked slowly towards the intersection where they were hiding.
There are two people walking in the front, one of them is a Miao girl who is eye-catching at first sight, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a beautiful silver flower crown, the flower crown is also inserted in a pair of silver horns about one foot high, the tip of the silver horn is tied with colorful floats, and the silver flower belt is hung on the lower edge of the silver crown, and a small silver pendant hangs down.
A batik gaudy and gorgeous pleated skirt was tied around her slender waist, and a string of silver waist bells were tied around her waist, and there were more silver ornaments on her body, but there were also silver ornaments around her neck, and a silver collar hung on her neck, which was clearly dangling, and she also wore a silver lock and a silver collar on her chest.
When she moved a pair of long and light thighs, her gait was soft, and her small waist was also unusually graceful, which was enough to enter the painting, and the sound of silver bells coming out of her body that week became a pleasant music.
Dressed in silver, lined with her beautiful face like a full moon, her eyebrows are black and bright, a pair of big eyes, the bridge of her nose is straight, and her mouth is bigger than the cherry mouth of the Central Plains beauty, but it also makes her lips as rich and beautiful as petals have a unique taste.
The lip flap is not painted with Zhu, but there is a healthy and bright luster, the red lips are bright and the teeth are fresh, and there is a kind of beauty with a healthy sense of surname, which makes her reveal a sense of surname full of vitality, with a gorgeous silver jewelry, bright and moving.
Next to her is a scholar in a green shirt, shaking a folding fan, his demeanor is full of elegance, but although his face is not ugly, it is difficult to be called dignified, barely regarded as a middle-aged person, but the taste of a scholar is full.
Behind the two of them were more than a dozen strong men of the Miao family who were holding horses and swords, and where they passed, pedestrians on the streets avoided one after another, for fear of provoking people who should not be provoked.
Seeing that he was about to reach the intersection, the scholar suddenly folded his fan and said politely to the Miao girl: "Miss Ning'er, let's eat something here first and then go out of the city, lest there be no one in the wild shop on the road ahead, and it is not easy to eat on the road." ”
"It's still Xu Gongzi who thinks thoughtfully, so be it."
The girl of the Miao family smiled shyly, soft like a gurgling stream, if someone who is familiar with her sees her appearance at this moment, they will never admit that the soft and lovely girl in front of them is the Zhan girl they are familiar with, the second in the "Three Tigers of Shuixi".
The "Three Tigers of Shuixi" are all women, they are all very young women, and they are all wealthy ladies who are loved by thousands of people, so they have become a nightmare in the hearts of more than 100 young masters of the Tusi family in Qiandi, I don't know how many young masters of the Tusi family who are tortured by them are looking forward to a big hero who has the courage to sacrifice from the sky to "eliminate the three evils" for them, but unfortunately no one has been willing to sacrifice themselves, so their nightmare has always lingered.
In the case of this Zhan Ning'er Zhan girl, her father is the big toast of the Shuixi Zhan clan, and her mother is from the Shuixi Xi'an clan, the largest toast in Qiandi.
As the saying goes: a hundred years of emperors, thousands of miles of toast. The emperor is also subject to all kinds of restrictions and cannot do whatever he wants, especially the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who have been bullied by the ministers for generations, and they are more and more bitter than the other. But these big toasts are arbitrary, life and death, and they are a hundred times more majestic than the emperor.
"Shuixi Three Tigers" sounds majestic, but such a nickname is used on women, which shows how terrible they are. Miss Zhan is only ranked second among the Three Tigers of Shuixi, but she is also the only female man among the Three Tigers who knows martial arts.
This Zhanda girl has been martial arts since she was a child, and she doesn't want to be obsessed with literature when she becomes an adult. Although she is limited to talent, as soon as she opens the book, she can quickly fall asleep, but it cannot discourage her desire to learn.
"Since you can't be a talented woman, let's marry a talented man!"
Miss Zhan thought so, and did so, she publicly announced that she would marry a talented and knowledgeable scholar.
As soon as the news came out, the young masters of the Tusi family of hundreds of sizes in Qiandi raised their foreheads and celebrated: "This tigress has finally determined the goal of harming her life, but fortunately it's not me!" Some young masters of Tusi, who are obviously ignorant of knowledge, but consciously have eight buckets of talent, have announced since then: "Young master, I am illiterate." ”
In fact, they don't have to worry so much at all, if they want to find a reader, is there a better reader than Han Jialang? The Miao family is hearty and rough, how can he have the talent of the Han family. The Han family is a scholar, almost every Miao family girl is a fatal **!
Zhan Ning'er went to the Central Plains this time to do something, but on the way back, she happened to meet this scholar named Xu Boyi, and listened to him chant a poem and stroke a piano, and her heart fell.
Xu Gongzi is nearly thirty years old, because of his poor family background, he concentrates on studying, and he is so far unmarried. After Zhan Ning'er learned of this qiē, she immediately regarded him as her good match, she was afraid that her rudeness would scare away this Sven Xiucai, so she always pretended to be a weak and obedient girl in front of him.
With Xu Gongzi's shout, a pair of fiery red sleeves flew, and in the melodious silver bells, Zhan Ning'er floated in front of Ye Xiaotian with a fresh breath.
Ye Xiaotian sniffed the faint fragrance of flowers, looked at the dozen or so Miao family men who were fierce and had knives at their waists following Zhan Ning'er and Xu Gongzi, snapped his fingers at Xue Shuiwu, and said brightly: "There is a way." ”
Xue Shuiwu happily asked, "What's the way?" ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled evilly, and said confidently: "Mountain people have their own clever plans!" You can wait here in peace, and when Yang Sanshou's group leaves the city gate, we will leave the city immediately! ”
P: We sincerely ask for recommendation votes!!
