Chapter 262: Licking the Dog

Walking at night,

met a woman hanging from a tree calling for help;

This kind of opening, Uncle Zheng has seen a lot, if the demon kings are all around, Uncle Zheng doesn't mind saving them, just to have some fun when he has nothing to do;

But now, he didn't bother to pay attention.

Also too lazy to pay attention to it, there is also the princess.

Uncle Zheng didn't believe that the princess's crossbow arrow was missed, but he really felt that the princess on his back shot the woman to death without saying a word, and he did it really beautifully.

Since all your family members have been killed by bandits, you yourself seem to have been insulted by bandits.

You are no longer worth it in the world, and if you survive, you will probably continue to endure boundless pain and nightmares.

Then we'll send you down to your family.

Amitabha.

However, the development of things always seems to force you to be pulled into, and you have a premonition that it is a pit, and you plan to bypass it, and when you go around halfway, you find that this pit is even bigger than you imagined.

The feeling that a woman gives people at this time is completely a ghost image.

In this world, there is a "spirit", not counting the imported product of the magic pill, not long ago, Uncle Zheng also saw the regent lead the "spirit" into the body, and earlier, Uncle Zheng also got a piece of jade order.

If you want to study it in detail, Shatuoque Stone turned into a zombie after death, which is also a specific manifestation of this phenomenon.

But the others, no matter what they are, are very rare, but the one that Uncle Zheng encounters now seems a little cheap.

Uncle Zheng had determined one thing a long time ago, that is, he was not some Chosen Son, otherwise it would be impossible to explain which Chosen Son would encounter hidden arrows and accidents every time he rushed into battle;

Therefore, Uncle Zheng didn't think that he could get a jackpot by walking at night with a princess on his back and bumping into a big baby.

When the princess saw the female ghost rushing towards her, she instinctively grabbed Uncle Zheng's shoulder.

At this time, the princess naturally felt that Uncle Zheng was the person she could rely on the most.

When Uncle Zheng grabbed the princess's shoulder,

Instinctively shouted:

"Smash!"

At this time, Uncle Zheng naturally felt that his son was the person he could rely on the most.

"Bang!"

The demon pill sped out of the princess's sleeve and slammed directly into the female ghost.

The female ghost smashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

But after landing, it suddenly turned into a green mist and dispersed.

The magic pill is suspended in the air,

The figure began to manifest,

is the image of a baby.

"Spirit?" The princess exclaimed.

She knew that there was a spirit by her royal brother's side, but she didn't expect that her husband also had one.

How many secrets are still hidden in him.

But

What was he shouting just now?

The green mist began to spread, as if blending in with the surrounding environment.

Puzzled, his eyes wandered around, not like he was searching for a female ghost, but like he was looking for something else.

"Buzz!"

At this moment,

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard.

"Chirp !!!!"

This was followed by a high-frequency scream, not of a human being, but of some kind of animal.

Suddenly,

Uncle Zheng only felt that his vision was blurry for a while, but soon returned to normal.

The Magic Pill flew straight back.

In Uncle Zheng's field of vision, there was a tree in front of him, and there was a rope on the tree, but the rope was not tied to a woman, but a weasel, that is, a yellow skin.

Under the tree, there was a circle of ramparts, but the fire inside had long since been extinguished, and it seemed to have been extinguished for a long time.

There was a hole in the yellow skin, and a crossbow bolt stuck in the tree, apparently the one that the princess had shot earlier.

Therefore, it was not a female ghost at all, but a fantasy made by this yellow skin.

No wonder the Magic Pill hesitated and searched there as soon as it came out, obviously, the Magic Pill found that something was wrong.

But it seems that before the magic pill can make the next move, someone nearby shoots an arrow to help break the game.

Uncle Zheng knew that the yellow skin seemed to be able to interfere with and affect people's minds by releasing some kind of hallucinogenic gas, and the ability of the magic pill was to fight against the soul body, and the other was to enter Zheng Fan's body to bless Zheng Fan's strength.

And this hallucinogenic gas, theoretically speaking, still belongs to the category of "physical reality".

After all, you can't let the magic pill come out and start learning what antidote to help detoxify like Xue San, and other people's majors are not this.

"Are we being haunted?" The princess muttered to herself.

There are many demons in Chudi, of course, compared to the number of people, demons are really extremely rare, but it is not uncommon for such mountain spirits and wild charms to tease and even kill people.

"Are you alright?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out in front, the man had half-white hair, and was holding a bow in his hand, looking like he should be almost fifty.

"Thank you for the rescue." Uncle Zheng thanked.

Although with the ability of the magic pill, it will take a little more time to find the target and break the situation in front of you, but after all, people have helped you.

The man stopped in front of him with some vigilance and asked:

"Who are you?"

The princess spoke, "We are fugitives, and my father will not allow me to marry a pariah, so I let him take me out of the house." ”

This is in line with the image of the two, and it can be regarded as the most appropriate lie.

The man squinted, and after his eyes roamed over Zheng Fan and the princess for a round, he said: "My name is Jiang Hu, this hunter in the mountains, you were caught by the yellow dog before, but it's a pity, although my arrow hit the yellow dog before, but it didn't hit the vital point, so he still let him escape." ”

Saying,

Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan,

Road:

"Untouchables marry noble girls, hehe, but they have the courage and courage, are you on the run, why don't you go to my place for a night?"

"In this way, it will be troublesome Brother Tiger." The princess answered.

In this way, Jiang Hu led the way in front, and Zheng Fan followed behind with the princess on his back.

In fact, Zheng Fan has always wanted to ask why the green python named "Xiaoqing" did not give a warning in advance?

The magic pill belongs to the soul body, and it is more sensitive to the soul, but the green python is a demon beast, whether the weasel is called Huangpizi or Huanggouzi, since it can confuse people's hearts, it obviously belongs to the category of Chengjing.

It stands to reason that the green python should have been able to give early warning.

But as a result, not only did there be no warning, but even if this Orion appeared here, the green python did not react.

That's a big anomaly.

However, this is not the time to speak, and Orion's ears are generally very good.

Jiang Hu took Zheng Fan and the others to a wooden house, and when he pushed open the door of the wooden house, a woman's voice came from inside.

"But I'm back."

"The yellow dog is making a fuss."

"Yes, the mountains have not been peaceful in the past two years, hey, and brought people back?"

"It's a fugitive, I'll bring it back and rest for the night."

"Okay, I'll go get some food."

When Zheng Fan and the princess entered the house, they saw a woman busy adding firewood to the stove in the center of the wooden house, setting up a pot again, and began to add water to it.

"It's cheap." Jiang Hu introduced.

Zheng Fan saluted and said, "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”

The princess also saluted and said, "I've seen the sister-in-law of the Jiang family." ”

"Ouch, why are you so polite, make people embarrassed, you sit down first, I'll cook some soup for you to eat."

Jiang Hu motioned for Zheng Fan and the princess to sit down around the stove and roast the fire, and then asked:

"Where are you going to run away?"

Without waiting for Uncle Zheng to speak, the princess said directly: "It's not clear, I thought about going to the mountain to avoid it, but now that I think about it, I may have to go over the mountain and go to Jindi." ”

"To Jindi?" Orion was a little surprised, "There's a war going on there. ”

The princess nodded, and said with some grievances: "But Chudi, there is no place for the two of us. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Hu smacked his tongue a little and said, "It seems, hehe, it seems that the younger brother and sister are not from a simple background." ”

can say what Chu Di can't tolerate, which proves that the woman's family is really high, and ordinary Chu Di nobles really can't do this kind of influence.

"Here, let's go."

The woman came and put some of the cut cured meat into the pot, then the wide vermicelli, and finally, the lid was closed.

"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law." Zheng Fan said with a smile.

"Meeting is fate, we live in this mountain, and it is rare for more than one person to sit here and eat together, and there is no guest."

Jiang Hu smiled and nodded, and then, he spoke again: "From here to Jin, you have to go far, the mountain road is not easy to walk, not to mention that you have to go through some dense streams." ”

The best way to go, of course, is Zhennan Pass, but Zhennan Pass is full of Chu troops and scouts, and it is impossible for Uncle Zheng to go from there.

However, Zheng Fan didn't answer, but waited for the princess to speak, because from the beginning when the princess introduced herself, Uncle Zheng felt that something was wrong.

The turmoil of Qu's wedding has actually been publicized in Chudi for a long time, because there are too many nobles present, and the impact of the matter is too great, and it is impossible to hide it if you want to.

In fact, when Uncle Zheng marched all the way to Zhennanguan in the name of escorting grain and grass, the surrounding grain merchants who were on the road together talked about this topic the most every day.

Some people beat their chests and felt that Da Chu was disgraced this time;

Some people gloat, and it is very interesting to see Qu's bad luck and deflated;

Some people sighed that if the Yan Ren's Pingye Uncle didn't leave him in Chu this time, if he was allowed to go back safely with the princess, then this prestige would be unimaginable.

Uncle Zheng always squatted on the side, listening to their chat, they chatted very energetically, and Uncle Zheng listened very energetically.

Perhaps, it is still only spreading in the Chu region, and in another ten days and a half months, this matter should spread to the land of Yanqian, which is destined to be the biggest thing that the people like to see at the beginning of this year.

Therefore, although Jiang Hu is a hunter and often lives in the mountains, who can guarantee that he has not gone down the mountain and has never heard about it?

If he had heard about it, it would have been obvious that according to the princess's self-introduction, suggestive.

It's just that Uncle Zheng doesn't think that the princess doesn't know this, she is not stupid and sweet, she naturally has her reason for speaking like this.

Moreover, Uncle Zheng is not worried that the princess will turn against the water, if she wants to turn against herself, she can take action as early as when she is in the royal palace, there is no need to turn back on the water after the face of the Qu family and the royal family.

"Yes, so I want to ask Brother Tiger to be our guide."

Hearing this, the woman was stunned at first, as if she did not expect the girl to make such a request.

Zheng Fan noticed the hairpin on the woman's bun;

Although Uncle Zheng has no interest in these precious jewelry, gold, silver and jade in his previous life or in this life, he can't stand the fact that his living conditions have improved after he has developed, making some precious jewelry accessories and other things have become very common things at home.

I feel like Pu Yi is going to an antique shop: I haven't studied it systematically, but these are very common at home.

This hairpin is not cheap, and the materials used are not ordinary gold and silver.

Coupled with the "pride" when the noodles were put down, there were still two noodles at Uncle Zheng's feet, and the woman didn't pick them up and throw them in.

Jiang Hu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry." ”

This is a direct refusal.

Uncle Zheng silently picked up the bowl of water in front of him and took a sip of water, he didn't say stupid things that I would pay for silver, it was obvious that this family was not short of silver, or rather, he didn't care much about silver.

The princess pursed her lips and said, "Is General Gongsun okay?" ”

Jiang Hu's eyes immediately froze, and the woman was so frightened that she retreated and hit the table.

Uncle Zheng continued to drink water, his demeanor was calm, as if everything was under control, but in fact, he didn't even know who General Gongsun was.

Jiang Hu licked his lips and asked, "Girl, who are you?" ”

The princess didn't rush to reveal her identity, but smiled and said: "I think back then, although the Gongsun clan was not a famous family with a big business, and it couldn't be compared with the Qu family, but relying on the ability to tame beasts, several generations held the position of the beast supervisor, how many big clan magnates were polite to them in order to obtain a famous beast, which can be called noble."

I didn't expect it to fall to such a point now, which is really embarrassing. ”

Jiang Hu didn't touch his knife and bow and arrow, just clapped his hands and said, "It's interesting, I didn't expect that I could hide here and be found by the people of the Phoenix Nest." ”

"You're too worried, I'm not from the Phoenix Nest, my man, it's not, we're just running away."

"You think I'll believe it?"

The princess silently unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her left arm, which still had solidified wax, but she could see the fire phoenix mark through the wax.

The woman exclaimed directly:

"Royalty!"

Jiang Hu looked at his wife with some hesitation.

The woman nodded affirmatively at Jiang Hu and said, "It's the Fire Phoenix Mark." ”

Jiang Hu's eyes showed a look of thought, and then he suddenly reached out and pulled out his hunting knife, not at the princess, but at Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng was still sitting there, looking as usual.

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing color, which was professionally practiced.

However, the woman seemed to be more knowledgeable than the man.

"I went down the mountain the day before yesterday and heard that a big incident happened to my Da Chu just a few days ago, saying that it was an uncle of Yan Kingdom, who robbed Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess in front of everyone on the day of the wedding of Qu and the princess.

I really didn't expect it,

The contemptible people live deep in the mountains, and they can actually meet the plain uncle of Dayan. ”

Uncle Zheng put the bowl down, opened the lid, looked at it, and said:

"I don't know if the vermicelli is cooked."

He wasn't going to interject, just let the princess say it.

Uncle Zheng is also a professional in how to be a shopkeeper.

"Princess......... Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

The woman knelt down before the princess.

Seeing this, Jiang Hu was a little hesitant in his eyes.

The princess also ignored Jiang Hu, turned around, took the initiative to reach out and help the woman, and said, "Dare to ask Mrs. Sister-in-law what her surname is?" ”

"The sinner's surname is Gongsun, and her name is Ling."

"It turned out that Mrs. Sister-in-law was born in the Gongsun family."

"Yes, the sinner woman husband was once a personal guard under my father, and on the night of the change in Yingdu, my husband escorted me out of Beijing and hid in this deep mountain."

"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law."

The Gongsun clan, the hereditary beast superintendent, suddenly died one day nearly a year ago.

The reason for the demise is that the Gongsun clan followed the eldest prince, and after the death of the first emperor, the eldest prince took the lead in raising trouble, and wanted to take the lead in the capital, that is, Yingdu, and master the government.

The Gongsun clan even mobilized the clan's own soldiers to join with many demon beasts in the imperial beast prison, but the four princes had already obtained the allegiance of the royal forbidden army, and several royal forbidden troops went straight to Yingdu, plus Wu Zheng also stood behind the four princes, and the rebellion of the eldest prince in Yingdu can be said to have been ruthlessly extinguished.

The eldest prince was deliberately released from Yingdu in the hope that it would continue to attract and hug and clean up, while the Gongsun clan was wiped out that night.

The woman's name is Gongsun Ling, and her father should be the head of the Gongsun family, that is to say, the princess's own brother is the enemy of the woman in front of her.

Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan, slowly put down the knife, and sat down again.

Zheng Fan picked up the spoon and saw that the women were not working hard, so he began to stir the pot himself to prevent the noodles from hitting the base.

Although the woman is from the Gongsun clan, the one who really has the ability should be this Jiang Hu.

This can also explain why the green python took the initiative to avoid him, because after the princess attracted the green python with her own fire phoenix essence blood, according to the royal tradition, the green python would be handed over to the imperial beast prison for taming.

The green python should have felt the breath on Jiang Hu's body, so he took the initiative to avoid it.

So, a beast is a beast after all, and it is unreliable at the critical moment.

Uncle Zheng felt that after he went back, the green python would have to be handed over to the demon kings to tame it and instill a sense of "loyalty".

And then

Now that I think about it,

The yellow dog should also be Jiang Hu's own arrangement, which is equivalent to putting a sentry post at that location in the canyon, and he can come out to deal with it after hearing the movement.

It's a talent.

Jiang Hu opened his mouth and said: "Ah Ling, she is your enemy, if you say a word, I will kill her and avenge your whole family." ”

Uncle Zheng shook his head and sighed:

Lick the dog one.

But this licking dog should have been licked successfully, because the woman's family has been ruined, and she can't survive without being with the licking dog.

Obviously, he was also a sinner in Dachu, so he had to hide in Tibet, and after seeing Da Yan's Uncle Hirano, he actually said that he wanted to help his daughter-in-law take revenge.

This man should have no ambitions.

An ambitious man doesn't care what the woman thinks at this time, he wants to find a way out for himself.

As for what the woman would think,

Uncle Zheng guessed,

Uncle Zheng believes that the princess should have guessed it too.

Living in the mountains in hiding, he didn't forget to wear jewelry, and he didn't pay attention to the details of frugality when cooking, and he didn't know how much risk his man had to take when he went down the mountain to shop;

To put it bluntly, this Miss Gongsun is not a person who lives a hard life in a down-to-earth manner at all.

"No, no revenge, no revenge." The woman hurriedly waved her hand, "It's all over, it's all over." ”

The family was wiped out, and she didn't want to pursue it.

The princess said, "That's what my royal brother did, what does it have to do with me?" Besides, at that time, it wasn't all about each his own master, and he was just a king and a loser.

What's more, this palace is now regretting the marriage first, and it has already broken with my imperial brother, and that account, no matter how you calculate it, can't be counted on the head of this palace. ”

"Yes, yes, don't blame the princess, don't blame the princess." The woman hurriedly said.

Jiang Hu let out a sigh and said, "Princess, do you want to go to Jindi with Uncle Pingye?" ”

Zheng Fan smiled while continuing to stir the bottom of the pot: "Otherwise? ”

"I can assume that I didn't see you, because I have a grudge against the regent; But I won't send you into the mountains, because I'm a Chu person. ”

"Everyone is actually a Xia person, and they were all one family eight hundred years ago."

"Huh."

Jiang Hu was very disdainful.

Uncle Zheng began to fish for vermicelli.

The princess held Gongsun Ling's hand and said to Zheng Fan: "Xianggong, don't patronize eating and talking." ”

Jiang Hu said:

"It's useless to say anything."

Uncle Zheng echoed in his heart while sucking the noodles: Yes, it's useless to tell you anything, anyway, your family is not your decision.

Uncle Zheng ate half a bowl of vermicelli and two slices of cured meat, put down the bowl and chopsticks,

Road:

"One, after entering Yan with Ben Bo and others, although his life cannot be compared with when the Gongsun clan was in Yingdu, Ben Bo can guarantee brocade clothes and jade food, twenty maids, twenty servants, and other cooks."

This hodgepodge is really not delicious.

"Second, Ben Boke swears to the sky to protect your safety, in my Yan Realm, the people of the Phoenix Nest cannot be presumptuous."

The first two are life-like.

Article 3,

It's the main thing.

"Three, my Majesty Emperor Dayan will build a new imperial beast prison for the Gongsun clan, and set up a position in charge, with the Jiang Hu brothers as the first director, and the second in charge, which is your child, this position, hereditary replacement, reproduces the glory of the Gongsun clan."

Jiang Hu glared angrily and scolded: "Don't think! ”

Gongsun Ling, who was beside the princess, shouted directly to her husband:

"Okay, I promise!"

"......" Jiang Hu.

Uncle Zheng continued to fish for the second bowl of vermicelli, it was not delicious, but he was really hungry.

Jiang Hu looked at his wife and persuaded: "Ah Ling, we are Chu people, how can we take refuge in Yangou, we ........."

"If you don't agree, I'll die for you now!"

"Gongsun is a great Chu nobleman, how can he make such a .........?"

"Are you going to force me to die now?"

"A personal feud is a personal vendetta, a national hatred is a national hatred, and the Yan people slaughtered ......... in Yupan City"

Gongsun Ling took off the hairpin on her hair bun,

against his neck,

looked at Jiang Hu;

The previously indifferent and virtuous woman is gone, replaced by a woman with infinite longing for a better life.

The princess mended the knife at this time:

"Even the main palace is about to enter Yan, why not enter the Gongsun clan into Yan?"

"Yes, the princess is right, the princess is right." Gongsun Ling seemed to be encouraged, the hairpin pierced into his neck, the blood beads had flowed out, and he roared:

"Jiang Hu, do you agree!"

Jiang Hu gritted his teeth,

Uncle Zheng lowered his head and continued to eat vermicelli,

Jiang Hu got up,

Take two steps back,

Said to Zheng Fan:

"See Uncle Hirano!"
