Chapter 31: A Trip to the Northland

Zuo Chu returned on the third day, but they moved back to Yaoxianzhuang. When Shi Qiao came over to get some things, he found that Song Dongchen was there, and took her back by the way.

Zhu Yi had a fever due to drowning, and before he could get out of bed, he heard about it. Zhu Yi on the bed felt anxious both physically and mentally.

As soon as he recovered, a letter came from the Northland.

Tu Qin invited Zhu Yi to go to the north with Zuo Qi. Through the letter, she learned that Zuo Chu was going to leave for the Northland next. took the letter and went to Yao Case Village to discuss with him, Zuo Chu had no right to interfere in other aspects except for Gu-related matters, so he agreed to take her with him.

The person who loved to run out for the first time stayed in Jinyuan because of an injury. Jin Yuan has been sent by Zuo Zhu to add people, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and they must rest assured that they will honestly wait for them to come back.

Qiu Shui and Wen Xi followed Zhu Yi away.

The northern land is some days away from the Thousand Cities, and it takes ten days to drive fast, and it is only half of the way.

Zhu Yi is full of amazement at the beautiful and changeable scenery along the way, and it is easy to forget the tiredness. There is no need to travel at night, people and horses will stop and find a spacious place to rest.

Zuo Chu likes to sit alone in a huge carriage and often does not show up.

At first, he thought that a little girl in Zhuyi would be tired, so he prepared a carriage for her, but the Zhuyi was so active that she was already uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so he ordered someone to lead her a horse to ride.

Lu Mai and Shi Qiao often have unpleasant quarrels, and they have to argue over a little thing, if it weren't for Zuo Chu, I'm afraid they would have started early. Lu Mai's skin was black, and when he got angry, his face turned black and red, and Zhu Yi was afraid that they would really do it, so he stepped forward to mediate several times, but was unanimously squeezed by the two of them.

After that, when she saw the two arguing, she walked farther away, out of sight and clear in her ears.

When he came to a remote loess plain, he encountered a team of bandits. The big men circled around them, shouting from time to time.

After all, the people of Yaoxianzhuang are well-trained, and they will line up and defend in a chaotic manner. Zhu Yi has experienced several fights and killings, but he can adapt to such a scene.

In the whistle of the group of desolate thieves, someone rushed over first, and slashed at the people with a big axe, and Lu Mai, Huan Qi, and Shi Qiao immediately responded to the enemy and fought with each other.

The sound of the handover of soldiers and the scene of flesh and blood flying made Zhu Yi and Wen Xi unbearable, and slowly retreated to Zuo Qi's carriage. Zuo Chu was still resting in the car and did not come out.

Lu Mai and the others took the desolate thieves far away while fighting, and they were far away from the team here. In the chaos of slashing, Zhu Yi heard Xu Yu Ying ask Zuo Chu how to deal with this group of people, Zuo Chu, who was taking a nap in the car, opened his eyes when he heard the words and said, "Kill." ”

His voice was as gentle as ever, mild and cruel.

When all the thieves were destroyed, the men and horses were slightly reorganized, and they set off again.

In the evening, find a loess mound to rest. Bonfires were lit and oily food was roasted to a crackling sound.

Zhu Yi pinched his steps and quietly approached Zuo Qi, who was motionless and looking at the bonfire.

She wiped her nose, had nothing to say, and said, "Those people today are too hateful." We also have such bandits in Xili, who specialize in intercepting the people halfway, and do many evils! ”

Zuo Zhu glanced at her, there was a fire in his eyes, and he flickered a little: "Is Miss Zhu afraid?" He asked.

She shook her head and turned her head to look at the campfire, "Don't be afraid, because you're here." After saying this, she twisted her neck, glanced at him with a ghostly smile, and saw that Zuo Qi's expression had not changed, and straightened her tone unconvinced, "Okay, I'll tease you." But I'm really not afraid, and I don't know why, in the face of a very dangerous situation, if there is someone closest to me by my side, it is as if I have the blessing of the gods, always thinking that someone is there, it will not hurt me. Look, wouldn't it be easy for us to kill them all? ”

Zuo Qi listened to her changing the law and said some nonsense, and laughed to himself, "The wasteland, between the northern land and the curtain open, is barren here, but it is not so bad that it can't grow crops. They are strong and strong, and they don't want to make a living by clearing wasteland, but they are in turmoil all year round, killing people and plundering money for fun. ”

Zhu Yi also knows that the wasteland is no longer in the territory of Mukai, this is a wild land, where can the government govern? If there is an official government, this place is remote and dangerous, and it is not enough to govern it.

"If this place is dangerous and remote, why do people still walk from here? If it were me, even if the road was farther, I wouldn't risk my life. ”

Zuo Chu picked up his hand and added a piece of firewood to the bonfire, "First, this is a place where the people must pass, and second, the people have changed their routes, and they have also changed their dens, what's the use?" Zuo's ability is limited, and he can only try his best to slaughter him when he encounters him. ”

Zhu Yi smiled: "Tingyu is not only the 'Mr. Tsubi' of the world, but also a righteous gentleman who is jealous and hateful!" Zuo Chu glanced at her, this compliment was a bit vain.

She bit her lip, plucked up her courage, and continued: "A gentleman is a little girl, where do you say this little woman is?" After saying that, she leaned over, tilted her head and smiled evilly, and her tears were shallow.

Zuo Chu didn't look at her, put down the firewood stick, got up and walked to the carriage: "You are still young, you should not think nonsense. ”

Seeing him leave like this, Zhu Yi hurriedly got up and said, "This is not called cranky!" Shouting at his back, she said solemnly: "I'm fifteen years old, I'm an adult, and I don't look at people." I like you, I just like it very much, I like it like crazy, this is not the feeling that a child will have, you don't accept it now, it doesn't matter, what if you look at me one day? Don't rush to say no. ”

Her voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly, and they all sat up straight to look at it with a look of incredulity.

Zuo Zhu's body froze, and he didn't move for a long time, Zhu Yi thought that he would turn around and say something, but finally he took a step and left.

On the day he arrived at the city of Bayan, Tu Qincheng, as the lord of the city, greeted him at the city gate early. He and Zuo Chu are old acquaintances, and the relationship is not very close, but they are also a little close to nodding friends. When the men and horses set off for the city, Tu Qincheng drove over slowly and leisurely to keep pace with Zhu Yi.

I haven't seen him for five months, Tu Qincheng grew the beard of a northland man, and Zhu Yi called him "old man." "He smiled happily, especially at ease.

As the lord of a city, Tu Qincheng's courtyard is not small. However, as a rough man in the north, he is not so particular about the construction of pavilions and pavilions.

His courtyard is not boxy, but generally runs north-south, slightly narrow. It didn't take a few moments for Zhu Yi to finish the tour.

Zuo Chu had bought an inn in the south of the city in advance, because of Xijing, he chose a room on the third floor, Zhu Yi happily chose a room on his right, Xu Yu Ying was instructed by Zuo Zhu, carrying a package to check in early, so she was arranged to go downstairs.

Zuo Chu came here to negotiate with Tu Qincheng to set up a Zhusheng Academy in this city, and the site was decided, and Zuo Chu often went to check. Zhu Yi shouted to go to see her, but Zuo Chu refused, so Lu Mai stayed at the inn and stared at her.

Lu Mai still hated her, and after the owner left, he didn't bother to care where Zhu Yi went.
