Chapter 165: The Strange Boatman

"The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Every word deliberately accentuated the tone, as if it had knocked into Lin Mu's heart.

After that, the two never spoke again, neither of them was stupid, they knew how to use to achieve a superficial peace, besides, they were not all the way themselves, and there were not so many topics to talk about.

After several days of non-stop running, in order to speed up the speed, he changed to riding a horse, and then Zhang Youtao began to miss the happiness when he rode in the carriage.

It's night!

There was a heavy fog in the woods, and the weather was not suitable for hurrying, so he would rest in this mountain forest, and besides, he was already a hundred miles away, and it was safe for now.

Fortunately, there is a lot of food in this mountain forest, and Xiliang is good at archery, and he has hit a lot of wild animals.

"When we get out of this mountain forest, we will change to a waterway." Jiang Yiling comforted her that Zhang Youtao had indeed been tormented by riding a horse in the past few days.

And every time she would show a loveless expression, it really hurt Jiang Yiling.

Although Zhang Youtao doesn't know much about this, she also knows that if you take the waterway, you can't go to Lingzhou City at all, "Why do you want to take the waterway, don't we go to Lingzhou City?" ”

She thought that she was all here, so let's go back to Zhangjia Village to take a look!

At this point, Jiang Yiling shook his head, "Now that we can't protect ourselves, if we go to Lingzhou City, it will only affect more people, so it's better to stay away from it from the beginning." ”

Zhang Youtao suddenly realized that although there were no pursuers chasing them in the past few days, and there was no news, they were not safe.

In that distant capital, the emperor who must repay the flaws may not let them go, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will be caught.

The joy of escaping from the palace was instantly diluted, she thought too comfortably, and the phrase tiger poison does not eat children is not suitable for the emperor's family. Thinking that Jiang Yiling gave up not only that position because of her, but also comfort, his heart was full of guilt.

"You decide!" She has no other purpose now than not to cause more trouble.

Jiang Yiling pulled the corners of his mouth, and the long-term running made his eyebrows and eyes tired, and he fell asleep holding her shoulders at this moment.

Although this mountain forest is easy to hide, there are also many unknown dangers, so they dare not fall asleep, and they are awakened by the slightest disturbance.

Next.

The nearest city here is called: Quanzhou County. It is surrounded by water on all sides, and if they want to enter the city, they have to take a boat, so they need to take a ferry from here to leave, and go into the city to replenish some bags.

Sitting on the boat, Zhang Youtao's heart began to feel faintly uneasy.

The open city gate made her feel dangerous, and immediately said to Jiang Yiling: "We can leave directly by boat without entering the city." ”

"No problem!" Jiang Yiling patted her back soothingly.

In the past few days, they have walked on mountain roads in order to hide their whereabouts, and have never set foot in any city, and if they encounter stalls selling things on the road, they will buy some, but there are very few such stalls.

The journey is not safe, and the people who are in a hurry have their own bags, and if it is not for the fact that the family cannot get by, they will not venture to set up a stall on the mountain road.

Zhang Youtao was still very nervous, the boat crossed the city gate, and there were no strange people, they successfully went ashore, and the boatman showed them the way very kindly, "But you must go to the drunken fairy building in the south of the city to drink, the wine there is the best in the whole Quanzhou." ”

Zhang Youtao pulled out a smile and handed over the money, "Thank you!" We'll check it out. ”

When I turned around and walked a few hundred meters, I heard Lin Mu say, "Something is wrong with that boatman." ”

Jiang Yiling twisted his eyebrows, and Xiliang was even more vigilant around.

Zhang Youtao is not poor, "The boatman just told us where the wine is good, and there is a problem there?" "Maybe it's because of the difference in the place where I grew up, so I was very surprised in my thinking.

"The people of Quanzhou are simple, the local people are kind and kind, just now we did not ask the boat family where the wine in Quanzhou is good, but he strongly recommended to us the drunken fairy building in the south of the city. But as far as we know, Quanzhou is not famous for wine, but roast chicken. ”

This explanation made Zhang Youtao speechless, and now that I think about the boatman, it is indeed suspicious, but what ambition can a little boatman have? It's nothing more than money.

Zhang Youtao was irritable and took Jiang Yiling's generous hand, "Let's go, leave as soon as you finish shopping." ”

They can't afford to gamble at all now, it's better to have more than less, and it's better to leave quickly.

In addition to the restaurant, the streets and alleys of Quanzhou are all roast chicken, so what Fang Cai Lin Mu said is not false. But Zhang Youtao was uncomfortable in her heart, and she was embarrassed in front of what she hated, which she didn't allow to happen.

They were going to leave after dark, but they were forbidden to travel just after nightfall.

"Why is it forbidden to travel?" Zhang Youtao asked the guards at the city gate.

The guard was a young man, and he was honest, "The orders from above, we also follow the orders, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the city for a few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces were different, they understood that their whereabouts had been discovered, but they had just entered Quanzhou for half a day and were discovered, which was too fast, it was really abnormal.

Now is not the time to be entangled, since they can't go out, they can only find a place to live first, they don't consider ordinary inns, but find an ordinary family. The whole book

There was only one old woman in the family, her son died while fleeing a few years ago, her daughter-in-law ran away with others, and her only grandson starved to death because of the famine.

Knowing this, Zhang Youtao was in a complicated mood, but she had no other way than to stuff some more money.

The night is sassy, and the moon and stars are scarce.

On the tenth day of their escape, every day their hearts were lifted, and they didn't know when they would be arrested, and they couldn't stop them at all.

The night of leisure is the most refreshing to relax your vigilance, as soon as you look up, you can see the moon in the sky, and the sound of unknown birds and beasts in your ears is comfortable and comfortable.

"Miss Zhang is really good." A slightly sarcastic voice rang out.

The anger in Zhang Youtao's heart was instantly hooked, but it was only for a moment, for some reason, she suddenly felt that she didn't need to be angry, and then she was really not angry.

"Does Mr. Lin like to peep behind people's backs so much?"

Since the layer of window paper was pierced, their relationship has been determined, and they don't like each other, and even have some rivalry.

If it weren't for the current crisis, I'm afraid Jiang Yiling would have found out a long time ago.

Lin Mu walked up to her, still holding a low bench in his hand, and sat down, "Are you satisfied with the situation now?" ”

The anger that had just dissipated gathered in an instant, and Zhang Youtao exhaled deeply, "Why should I be satisfied?" The world is so big, I just want to find a stable place to spend the rest of my life with the people I love, why does my husband always have to fight. ”

"Your Highness's talent, unwilling to live behind others, to be an idle ordinary person." Lin Mu made the words clear.

Yes, according to Jiang Yiling's ambition, he is not willing to be a farmer with idle clouds and wild cranes, he should go to the center of power, and he should stand in the highest position.

Zhang Youtao gasped, there was nothing more uncomfortable than the truth that she wanted to hide in every possible way, and being dug up without hesitation.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Lin Mu continued: "You understand, but you are not reconciled. ”

From the beginning to the present, in fact, Zhang Youtao is not without a way to escape from the palace, with her intelligence and intelligence, this is not a difficult thing, but she has not made a move, in addition to the time has not come, she still wants to force Jiang Yiling.

After Jiang Yiling said the words to leave with her that day, she was moved and kept thinking about it. But there is no trace of calculation in this world, and it will always give people insight.

"With Mr. Lin's talent, you can get a high position anywhere, why do you have to hold on to Jiang Yiling?" Zhang Youtao opened her mouth coldly, covered with chills.

"Hahaha!" Lin Mu laughed, "I have already left, but I am not willing to do so, so I will help His Highness rescue you from the palace." Miss Zhang thought that since she was already involved, how could she escape? ”

In the eyes of the emperor, Lin Mu was already the person next to Jiang Yiling, if Lin Mu didn't run away, I am afraid there would be only one way to die.

Zhang Youtao met such a crazy person for the first time, tied herself to it for the so-called ambition, and then cut off all the back roads with her own hands.

Such a person will become benevolent if he does not succeed, thinking that he has calculated everything, but he can't control everything, which should be the greatest tragedy of smart people!

Zhang Youtao opened her mouth, raised her hand and wiped it on her face, when the tears had already covered her face, when a dream was torn apart, the dreamer should also wake up.

"Are you sure he'll get back safely?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Mu stared at her side face for a long time, "Yes." ”

All this, Zhang Youtao replied quickly, "Okay, I'll let him go in a month." ”

Lin Mu twisted his eyebrows slightly, of course it would be best if he went back now, but in the end, he was moved by compassion, got up and bowed to Zhang Youtao, "I hope Miss Zhang's words count." ”

When Zhang Youtao looked up, she just wanted to open her mouth to scold, she was so sad, but the damn moon was still beautiful.

Looking at Jiang Yiling, who should be superior, now accompanying her to live a worrying life, it is fake not to feel distressed, maybe this was a mistake from the beginning. How can the fate of a person's predestined birth be changed casually.

This night's conversation made Lin Mu's attitude towards her better, but Zhang Youtao didn't care at all.

As the night passed, the city gates were also blocked during the day, and it was clearly aimed at them.

Outside Quanzhou.

The emperor mobilized 20,000 iron horsemen and handed them over to Xiao Meng, and ordered the commander to be sure to recover the people.

At this moment, the 20,000 iron horsemen had arrived outside the city of Quanzhou, and Xiao Meng, who was the leader, looked at the city gate in front of him with an expression on his face.

After a while, someone came to greet them.

"General Xiao, his subordinate Wang Cheng has been ordered to wait here, and he has prepared a boat to cross the river." If Zhang Youtao was here, she would be able to recognize this person as the boatman who sent them across the river that day.

Xiao Meng turned over and dismounted, and shouted at the iron horse behind him, "All the soldiers, get off your horse and cross the river." ”
