The night gradually darkened, and the black climbed up the clouds, staining the ground dark, and the sound of birds and insects in the forest clearly told the group that they could only stay in this big leaky house next to them tonight.

The young owner looked at the dark surroundings worriedly, and wailed: "Don't cross the bridge now, it's difficult to get out of this ghost place!" ”

Picking up a branch on the ground that looked a little stronger, he smoked the ground one by one, and muttered in his mouth: "Sooner or later, one day, I will take a rattan, and now you will take a few strokes in the face, and you will take a thick rattan stick, and you will die and live." ”

Zhao Yun glanced around carefully, squatted down, and pinched a handful of dirt on the ground, which was damp, and there was a water source nearby.

He squinted and looked at the man who was talking to the princess and the others not far away, looking like an honest man, the clothes were not good, he was dressed ordinarily, there were calluses on his hands, not much, his fingers were very clean, and he must be very familiar with this if he could save people here.

He shouted into the distance, "Little brother, do you know how to get out of here?" ”

The man not far away heard Zhao Yun calling him and trotted over: "Yes, I often pass by here." ”

"You're familiar with this?"

He scratched his head, not daring to say for sure: "Also... It's okay. ”

"We were going to cross the bridge by the plank road, but we accidentally fell to the bottom, little brother, you are familiar with this, is there any other way to cross this bridge? We would appreciate it if you could let us know! ”

As he spoke, he bent over and clasped his fists with both hands, and was about to make a move, but the man held it up in time.

"Don't, don't... I'm a vulgar man who can't stand such a great courtesy, and there is indeed a way to cross the bridge here. After a pause, he squatted down and pinched some mud on the ground, and pestle it in front of Zhao Yun's eyes to show him.

"I think you've noticed that the mud is very damp, there's a river, and the mud gets wetter the closer you get to the ground, and there's a bridge over the river, and after that, there are two forks, and you can get there by going along the one on the left."

Just as he was about to continue the conversation, an exclamation came from the left, which startled the young owner: "What's wrong?" ”

The princess was so frightened that her face changed color, staring at a snake not far away without moving, pointing a finger at the snake in front of her, trembling and frightened: "Snake... Snakes, there are snakes here! ”

The young farmer stood in front of the princess: "Go behind me!" With that, a sword stabbed him, and the snake died.

When the man saw the snake, he suddenly took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and sprinkled it around the house: "I forgot to say, as soon as it gets dark, snakes, ants, and mosquitoes like to come out and slip, and I have sprinkled medicinal powder around the house now, and they dare not come in, and now it is dark, you better sleep here for one night before leaving." ”

Everyone agreed, and looking at the darkness outside, not to mention that they couldn't see their fingers, it was the strange insects that repelled their determination to walk at night.

Zhao Yun opened his mouth and said: "In that case, let's rest here for one night and set off tomorrow!" ”

The darkness of the night spread all the way to Syracuse, and as soon as Lin Kite and the new emperor arrived in Syracuse, the sky immediately darkened. A cool breeze hit the street, and the forest kite was thinly dressed, with a red nose and a sneeze.

The new emperor took off his robe and draped it over her: "It's cool at night, you can put on my robe first." ”

Lin Yuan wrapped the robe tightly on her body, dispelling a little coolness, she couldn't understand the new emperor's thoughts, she was a little panicked: "What plan do you have next, it's not a way to run away all the time, if you keep taking me, they won't let you go for a day." ”

The new emperor glanced at her indifferently, and broke her mind: "Don't think about running away anymore, you are my last chance, I won't let you reunite with them happily, even if you die, I will take you to the funeral." ”

Knowing that the new emperor would not listen to anything, he gave up persuasion and planned to take one step at a time.

It didn't take long for the two of them to find an inn, which was not big, but it was enough for the new emperor, who didn't have much entanglement.

As soon as he entered the inn, Xiao Er threw the rag on the back of his shoulder and greeted him: "Guest officer, please inside!" Do you want to play a sharp game or stay in a hotel? ”

"Two rooms"

"Eh, okay"

When Xiao Er led them to the counter, after the account room said how much silver it was, the new emperor's hand to take the money from the money bag froze, gave the silver, and pulled Lin Kite and walked up.

Lin Yuan didn't miss the meticulous pause just now, and asked, "Don't hide, I saw it all just now, is it not enough to entangle." ”

The new emperor's mind was pointed out, and he was immediately annoyed and angry: "This is not something you should worry about, it is enough for you to be my hostage." ”

"Your things are all done, how do you raise money, in fact, I can help you."

The new emperor has been doing elegant things since elementary school, and the only way to raise money in a short time is to go to the dock to do short-term work, but according to his arrogance, he will not will. But I am different, I have a first-hand cooking skill, and I still make medicinal food, and I must lack everything.

"I can talk to the boss here, I can always make some money by working here as a cook for a few days."

Lin Yuan actually grasped the weakness of the new emperor, and such a proud person as him would definitely not be willing to show up to do hard work, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to be willing to raise money for him, "I threaten you, and you are willing to help me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you if I regret it?" ”

She knew the character of the new emperor and would not do such a thing, and said with a wry smile: "You won't, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't necessarily become what you are now." ”

"Whatever" After speaking, he opened his room, walked in, and pointed to the room next to Lin Yuan outside the door, "That's your room, don't bother me if there's nothing to do, and don't think about running away, or I'll break your legs!" ”

Lin Kite obediently entered the room and had a good night's sleep.

On the second day, the sky was just hazy, and the bumpy wandering of the past few days had already broken up her routine. Remembering yesterday's thoughts, I went to the inn after freshening up and dressing up.

After going downstairs a few times and turning around, she didn't see the shadow of the store, Xiao Er stepped forward and asked her, "Guest officer, do you want to eat something?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head: "I want to find your owner" said, scanning the surroundings, but did not find it, "You and I still looked at him here yesterday!" ”

Xiao Er suddenly realized: "You said it earlier!" Our host doesn't stay in this front hall in the morning, he is usually in the backyard at this hour! After a pause, he motioned for her to follow, "Come with me." ”

Lin Kite followed Xiao Er to the backyard, and saw their owner watering the flowers in the backyard.

Xiao Er shouted a few times to their owner: "Owner! Landlord! This guest officer wants to find you. ”

The proprietor put down the kettle in his hand, waved his hand, and asked Xiao Er to go to other things, and turned his head again, and there was a beautiful woman in front of him, and he was puzzled for a while: "Is there anything wrong with the guest officer looking for me?" ”

Lin Yuan explained his intention: "Shopkeeper, are you short of cooks?" I'd like to do a few days of short-term work with you. ”

The proprietor glanced Lin Kite up and down, and saw that his eyes were on her stomach: "Lack is short" Suddenly, the tone of words changed sharply, "It's just that we can't find someone with a stomach no matter how short we are!." Please come back! If we fall, we won't be responsible."

Lin Yuan knew his concerns, and quickly explained: "My body is fine, if something really happens, I will never be responsible for you." ”

The owner waved his hand and stood firmly: "It's not that we don't want it, your body is not willing to ask for it from other families, your stomach is pregnant, the most taboo touch, the kitchen is full of people, in case there are three long and two short, I still want to do this small business, don't embarrass me." ”

The owner didn't get in the oil and salt, Lin Yuan couldn't get it for a while, his eyes turned around, and he planned to use a roundabout way: "Otherwise, I'll go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes for you to taste, if you think it's good, think about it again?" ”

"It's... All right. ”

Lin Kite acted neatly, worked in the kitchen for an hour, and made a few dishes, which were full of color, flavor, and taste, which made the owner's eyes shine.

After tasting a few bites, it was refreshing and sharp, it was really delicious, and I agreed to Lin Kite's request.

Zhao Yun said goodbye to him regretfully because he was not on the same path as the man, and according to his method, he looked for a damp place, and at the end, there was indeed a river.

Several people stood in front of the river, and Zhao Yun took the lead in speaking: "That person didn't lie to us, there is really a river here." ”

The young farmer nodded, but after thinking about it carefully, he found a problem, pointed to the empty river, and asked, "The question is, how do we cross the river?" ”

Zhao Yun led them to the left and answered the question of the young farmer: "He told me that there is a pile of weeds on the left side all the way forward, and there is a bridge in the way, and we can cross from the bridge." ”

The densely piled up wild grass seemed to be deliberately hiding the road, and Zhao Yun flashed a trace of strangeness in his heart, but he still crossed the bridge with a few people.

Unexpectedly, there was a murderous intent hidden on the other side of the bridge, and the cold light flashed, and several black-clothed people hiding in the grass rushed out and headed in the direction of the princess and Cui Yue.

Zhao Yun and the young owner greeted them, and several black-clothed people were defeated, and after a few moves, they were all defeated. After the defeat, the men in black committed suicide by biting the poison sacs in their mouths one by one.

Zhao Yun, who found this, shouted to the young owner: "Plug their mouths and keep them alive." ”

Even though they worked hard, only a few survived in the end. The young farmer put a foot on their chest and threatened: "Say, who sent you?" Why arrest both of them? ”

Zhao Yun ripped off the stuff that was stuffed in a person's mouth, but the person didn't say anything, Zhao Yun was impatient, and stabbed him with a sword.

He ripped off the next person's mouth: "You come and say?" ”

The man in black pouted, "I don't know, don't think I'll tell you." ”

Zhao Yun "tsk" and said, "Noise." Another sword fell.

Asked one by one, a group of dead soldiers, who died and did not speak, and the last one was left alive.

"It seems that someone sent a dead soldier, so be careful, let's go!"

After saying that, he continued to walk forward, leaving a pile of corpses of the man in black in place.
