Chapter 70: Staying in the Trouble
took Xiaolan all the way to the stream, looking at the crystal clear stream, Zhao Chuan said with a smile: "Look, this water is so cool, there must be a lot of fish in it, it's good for us to catch some and grill them." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. "Xiaolan has been in the palace all the time, where have she seen so many natural things, she is even more excited than Zhao Chuan.
"Don't call me Your Highness, call me Xiaochuan. Zhao Chuan looked at her and corrected softly.
Xiaolan blinked, blushed and said, "Your Highness, the slave doesn't dare." ”
"Alas, if you have a little bit of gentleness, it is estimated that the concubine will not be suppressed all the time, so be it. Zhao Chuan was helpless, shrugged his shoulders and had to follow her.
Looking at Zhao Chuan, who entered the river barefoot and quietly observed the direction of the fish swimming below, Xiao Lan numbled his mouth: "Hmph, I'm not your maid, why am I clever to show you." ”
"Hmm, Xiaolan, what are you talking about?" Zhao Chuan felt a voice behind him, so he looked back.
Xiaolan thought he heard it, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." ”
"Oh, do you want to come down and catch fish together?" Zhao Chuan invited.
Xiaolan pointed to her nose and asked, "Can I?"
"Yes, come on, I'll teach you. Zhao Chuan nodded and hooked his finger at her.
Xiaolan walked over very shyly, stepping her feet into the icy stream, and at this moment there was a different feeling.
Looking sideways at Zhao Chuan, who seriously taught her how to fish, Xiaolan's uncontrollable heartbeat accelerated, this situation was unprecedented for her, and she was ashamed of her whole face.
Zhao Chuan noticed the change in her, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Are you sick, why is your face so red?"
Xiaolan hurriedly turned her face away, not daring to look at Zhao Chuan, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I, I'm fine." ”
Zhao Chuan scratched his head, a little confused about the girl's thoughts, so he had to explain: "You just need to hold your breath and concentrate, and keep observing the fish in the water, when they pass under your feet, they will drive the ripples out of the water, and what we have to do is to quickly catch them at this moment, you know?"
"Your Highness, let me try, I don't feel good. Xiaolan said with a red face.
Zhao Chuan smiled slightly, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, with me, we still can't be hungry, this meal is settled." ”
"Hmm. Xiaolan lowered her head and answered.
In happy situations, time always flies.
In the blink of an eye, under Zhao Chuan's teaching, Xiaolan couldn't catch a single fish at the beginning, and gradually began to catch one or two, and Zhao Chuan couldn't help but praise on the side.
Xiaolan was very happy, but she was also more shy.
Using Xiaolan's skirt to pick up four or five big fish, Zhao Chuan took her back to Zhao Mingfan.
Seeing them come back, Zhao Mingfan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yo, it seems that you have gained a lot." ”
"Yes, Father, I caught a lot of fish, so I will set up a fire and grill it, and soon we will have grilled fish to eat. Zhao Chuan smiled and pointed to the few fish in Xiaolan's skirt.
Nestled by the mountain and water, the family eats delicious grilled fish together, although simple but happy.
Zhao Chuan has grown up, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is no day happier than now.
For a moment, Zhao Chuan hoped that time would always freeze in this moment, forgetting those disputes and hatreds.
If that's the case, Zhao Chuan thought how good it would be.
After eating the fish, soon Zhao Chuan and the others continued to hurry.
After all, as long as they did not reach the Heavenly Whale Country, the danger never stayed away from them.
Especially when Zhao Chuan is now completely lost, if he encounters the pursuers and them, he will not be able to resist at all.
In the Lingchuan Imperial Palace, a grand enthronement ceremony is held at this moment.
Zhao Shan was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, and under the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials, he ascended to the throne he dreamed of.
Ge Ziwen and Yin Sha became the left prime minister and the right prime minister respectively, assisting Zhao Shan to consolidate the regime.
After ascending the throne, the first edict issued by Zhao Shan was to send troops to Tianjing.
In the ninety-second year of the Donghuang Continental calendar, Zhao Shan raised 800,000 troops from the whole country from Lingchuan to expedition to the rich and incomparably rich Sky Whale Country.
Although Lingchuan is strong in force, its economic development has always lagged behind other countries, so Zhao Shan, who is heavy on military force and light on literature, has no other way, and if he wants to strengthen the country, he can only start a war.
Of course, there are certainly not as many as 800,000, and claiming 800,000 is just a gimmick.
In fact, there are only more than 600,000 troops in Lingchuan and the rest of the 100,000 are logistics troops without any combat power.
Of course, there are more than 700,000 together, and it is also a catastrophe for the heavenly whales with no more than 300,000 soldiers in the country.
In the face of war, it is extremely cruel, there is no room for negotiation, and only by defeating the opponent can you survive.
And Mosen country at this moment, is also struggling to support Xiangyun's expedition, after the last failure, Mosen has already been greatly injured, with the help of Huang Xiaoxiong, Xiangyun's army has won triumphant victories all the way.
Thirty cities in a row under Mosen in one day, and it was only a matter of time before they all swallowed Mosen, so the prince bear had a headache, but he could only struggle to support it.
This time, Xiangyun and Lingchuan jointly attacked the two countries, which can be described as one of the few major battles in the history of the Donghuang Continent.
After walking for three days, Zhao Chuan and his party were really tired, so they could only take river water and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and if they encountered low-level monsters, they would only have to flee for their lives.
In this way, before dark, Zhao Chuan and the others finally saw a family.
You must know how difficult it is to meet people in this kind of wilderness.
Therefore, Zhao Chuan immediately proposed to Zhao Mingfan and Murong Xue to go to the front person's house to rest for one night.
Zhao Mingfan and Murong Xue have no opinion on this, after all, in this situation, they all listen to Zhao Chuan's arrangements, and they are a hundred assured of him.
In this way, several people came to the door of this house together, and Zhao Chuan politely knocked on the door a few times.
After a long time, the door was opened, and a fierce-looking strong man looked at Zhao Chuan and the others with slanted eyes, and then asked in an unkind voice, "What are you doing?"
"Big brother, we are in a hurry, we haven't eaten a full meal for a few days in a row, can we eat and sleep at your place for one night? ”
Zhao Chuan said with a very humble attitude.
The fierce and strong man was originally impatient, but after hearing the word money, he instantly came to his senses and said, "Oh, the people who are in a hurry, are there just a few of you?"
"Well, yes, it's just a family of four, this is my mother and father, and my little sister. Zhao Chuan pointed to the three people behind him and introduced them one by one.
The fierce man nodded, retreated to the room, and gave Zhao Chuan and them a way: "Okay, come in, if it is other complicated people, I will definitely not let you enter the house, you know, these years are chaotic and dangerous." ”
"Well, yes, yes, what Big Brother said. Zhao Chuan echoed him while leading the way into the house.
After letting Zhao Chuan and them into the house, Zhao Chuan saw the fierce and strong lady again, a good-looking woman, but her voice was very small, and she looked very afraid of strong men.
"Stinky bitch, what to see, go and prepare a meal for the guests, they have been hungry for a few days. The fierce man yelled at the woman.
Zhao Mingfan frowned when he saw it, and wanted to say something, but Zhao Chuan shook his head silently at him.
After all, when they are out of the house, unlike in the palace, more things are better than less, especially when Zhao Chuan and they are still fleeing for their lives.
"Good. The woman shrank her neck in fright, hurriedly stepped off the kang, and walked to the kitchen with difficulty.
Zhao Chuan looked strangely and saw that the woman's feet were tied with ropes, which was obviously abnormal.
If the strong man just had a bad attitude towards the lady just now, then at this moment Zhao Chuan felt that it was not simple.
After all, no one has married a daughter-in-law and tied it with a rope at home, this kind of thing is too strange.
But for the time being, Zhao Chuan was silent and didn't ask anything.
A few people waited on the benches, and before long the woman brought a sumptuous meal to the table.
Zhao Chuan beckoned his parents and Xiaolan to eat, and said to the woman, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." ”
"What's the hard work, that's what she does, otherwise what will Lao Tzu do when she marries her back, only give birth to a baby and don't work, how can there be such a good thing in the world, if there is Lao Tzu in the next life, he will also be a woman. ”
The strong man came over with a pot of wine, poured a full cup for Zhao Chuan and Zhao Mingfan respectively, and then sat down next to the two and said: "Come, drink with you, it's boring to be alone for a long time, drinking stuffy wine is not the same as drinking with others, I did it, you are free." ”
"Boom. The strong man drank all the wine in the cup with a bold sip, raised the empty wine glass, and motioned to Zhao Chuan and Zhao Mingfan to drink it too.
Zhao Chuan is okay, after all, he has not been pampered since he was a child, and he has drunk any inferior wine, but Zhao Mingfan is different.
He drank all the special century-old wines, and when had he ever drunk such inferior and spicy wine, he faintly gagged just by smelling it.
"I'm sorry big brother, my dad can't drink enough, so I'll drink it for him. After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he put Zhao Mingfan's wine glass in front of him.
The strong man's face changed, and he said angrily: "Ah, there is also a son who helps his father block the wine, this is not a strong wine, drink some to warm up and sleep well at night, right, brother, just drink some, I believe that it should not be a problem for a big man to drink some." ”
Zhao Chuan refused, and the strong man put the wine glass back in front of Zhao Mingfan.
Murong Xue's face was also dark, and she was very dissatisfied with the strong man, how could she persecute others like this.
"This brother, I'm sorry for you, the money won't be paid to you less, so don't embarrass me, okay?" Murong Xue barely squeezed out a smile and said to the strong man with a pleasant face.
The strong man slapped the table and said angrily: "Did Lao Tzu send you a little money? Rich is great? Don't come here to eat if you have money, don't live here, I am my family within a radius of a few miles, if you don't drink this wine, go quickly, I don't leave anyone who doesn't treat me as a friend, and I don't leave anyone who looks down on me to spend the night at home." ”
Murong Xue was frightened, he didn't expect him to be so excited.
Xiaolan also grabbed Murong Xue's arm tightly, for fear that the strong man would suddenly hurt someone.
"Big brother, my mother didn't mean that, you don't get me wrong. Zhao Chuan hurriedly explained.
Zhao Mingfan waved his hand and said: "Son, don't say more, I think this brother is also a cheerful person, since this is the case, then I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman." ”
