Chapter 17 Encounter with bandits on the road
A few people did not go back to the inn, but came directly to the west city wall, as long as they left Qiongcheng, and then a small village was Hongdang Mountain, where the ancestral tomb of the Ning family was. If something happens to the princess's mansion, it will definitely be strictly investigated tomorrow, so going out of the city overnight is the best choice. But when they arrived at the city wall, they looked at the city wall more than ten zhang high, and everyone stopped.
The national teacher sighed, "Eldest princess, you better go, take me and I will be discovered, and I will find a way to go out tomorrow." ”
Yun Yuhong looked at a few little ghosts, "Are you sure about the stingy ghosts?" ”
"I'm fine alone." The stingy guy looked at the crybaby and the unlucky guy, I couldn't bring them, and the sentence didn't come out.
"......" The other two simply didn't dare to squeak.
Yun Yuhong frowned, "I and the stingy ghost will send the national teacher out first, and then come to pick you up later, you wait first, be careful not to be discovered." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the others to answer, he carried the national teacher to his shoulders, took a few steps back, twisted his waist and went to the city wall, and then disappeared. A few people knew that Yun Yuhong had high martial arts, but they didn't expect Gao Cheng to be like this, this is with a man who is taller than herself.
The stingy ghost also jumped upwards in a flash, and when he got halfway through, he took out a dagger and inserted it on the city wall, and jumped up again with his strength, and then he went up the city wall and went with Yun Yuhong.
The crybaby and the stingy ghost (harmony) exchanged a look, it seemed that they were going to work hard and practice light skills again, and they didn't want to be a burden to the young valley master.
Yun Yuhong quickly flipped in again. This time she grabbed one in one hand and climbed the wall again to take the people out.
After several people converged, they marched towards Hongdang Mountain again. The national teacher has a thought in his heart, the eldest princess seems to have a lot of adventures, she is so skilled at a young age, coupled with her clean and neat style, thoughtful and thoughtful, the future is promising, God let me meet her at this time, it seems that the sky will not kill me, and there will be a time when great revenge will be avenged.
After a night of traveling, a few people came to a ruined temple at the foot of Hongdang Mountain in the early morning, where the coffins of the Ning family were stored. As soon as the national teacher entered, he knelt down, looked sad, and clenched his hands into fists, but his eyes were red, his lips were pursed, and he refused to cry. Yun Yuhong sighed and said, "Let's go find something to eat." "Walked out of the temple with a few imps. As soon as the temple door was closed, there was a terrible cry from inside.
Yun Yuhong instructed a few stingy ghosts to go to the nearby village to buy some shroud paper money and sell some food. I was worried that someone would chase me, so I walked to the big tree outside the door and sat up.
About an hour later, several people came back, Yun Yuhong pushed open the temple door, and saw the national teacher put the corpses of his family members in a row, his head and body were aligned, and he himself was already sitting on the ground and reciting the "Sutra of the Past Life".
Yun Yuhong did not interrupt the national teacher, but ordered a few people to fetch some water, clean the body and change into a shroud. These people suffered great grievances when they were alive, and after they died, they still wore clothes with the word "prisoner" written on them and went into the ground. The national teacher took a look at it and was very moved.
It was almost noon before the work was done, and it happened that the old man and the unlucky ghost also arrived. Several people came to the mountain to bury the Ning family. By the time all the bodies were buried in the ground, it was already evening. A few of them were too tired after a busy day and a night. The national teacher has been silently following everyone to work, until finally put on filial piety clothes, burned paper money, and tears flowed down again.
Everyone waited for another hour for the national teacher before returning to the village below the mountain and finding an inn to live in. It's time to talk about each other's experiences.
It turned out that after Yun Yuhong left the palace, the national teacher could not bear the harassment of the seventh princess, resigned as the national teacher and left Moyun Country. In the past few years, he has traveled all over the world, because he does not want to affect the family, so his father is embarrassed, so he broke off contact with the family, until not long ago, he did not know that the seventh princess married his second brother, so he felt that something was abnormal, and he was afraid that something would change, so he hurriedly returned to the Jade Snow Country. It's a pity that he came a step late. I only saw the picture of his family being tied up to the execution ground and beheaded, and at that time he was in great pain in his heart, vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. When he woke up and learned that no one dared to collect the corpses of the Ning family, he ran to the mass grave again, only to be caught by the ambush soldiers waiting there. Later, I met Yun Yuhong and everyone.
Yun Yuhong also told the national teacher about the experience of the past five years, and the national teacher was surprised and delighted when he heard it, happy that Yun Yuhong had constant adventures, and could get the guidance of the Master, and was surprised that she had a strange poison in her body, and she didn't know what the harm was.
In the end, Yun Yuhong asked the national teacher: "I'm afraid that this Jade Snow National Teacher will be stunned, I don't know what the national teacher has planned?" ”
The national teacher got up and knelt in front of Yun Yuhong all of a sudden: "From now on, there will be no national teacher Jingming, only Ning Haowen, who has a deep hatred of the Ning family. The eldest princess is gracious, save my life, help my family into the earth for peace, Ning Haowen has nothing to repay, I am willing to follow the eldest princess, saddle before and after the horse, never give up, please take the eldest princess in. ”
Yun Yuhong looked at the national teacher quietly and said, "The national teacher followed me just because of my kindness?" It's not necessary, it's just a matter of effort. Or the national teacher just wants me to help you take revenge, with the wisdom of the national teacher, it is not difficult to take the lives of the second prince and the seventh princess. If the national teacher has greater ambitions in his chest and can temporarily let go of his personal hatred, I can consider one or two. ”
The national teacher was startled, raised his head, looked at Yun Yuhong's eyes bright, and said solemnly: "Rest assured, the eldest princess, she will live up to the princess's expectations." ”
Yun Yuhong pulled the national teacher up, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I remember this hatred, and I will definitely help you avenge it." ”
The national teacher smiled, Yun Yuhong had never seen him smile, and he didn't want his smile to be like a spring blossom, but with a sense of arbitrariness and leisure, which made people unable to move.
In all fairness, the national teacher Ning Haowen is a veritable beautiful man.
Lao Dao interjected beside him: "Speaking of these two princes and the seventh princess, there is really a strange thing. I heard this morning that there was a thief in the Seventh Princess's Mansion yesterday, and the government sent someone to arrest people, but the people in the Princess's Mansion were very strange, and they all seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. A large row of guards were tied up, all as if they had not woken up from a spring sleep, disheveled, and their faces were crimson. The seven princesses were also strange, saying that they didn't lose anything, so they let the officials send them away. Later, I heard the mother-in-law who got up early and went out said that there was a noisy flower thief last night, and a lot of beautiful things happened. The movement in the back garden was very unusual, and I heard that the most strange thing was that the dogs guarding the door went crazy, broke free of the rope and pounced on the second prince and princess and did not come down. This incident is too bizarre, it spread all over the city early this morning, and I heard that the emperor was annoyed that the two of them lost royal face, so they thought about it behind closed doors. ”
Yun Yuhong also felt strange, there were only a few of them yesterday, how could they come out again as flower thieves? What did the unlucky guy do?
When the unlucky ghost saw Yun Yuhong looking at her, she also reacted, turned to the crybaby and said, "What kind of medicine did you give me yesterday?" ”
Crybaby's face turned red all of a sudden, "I didn't give it, you robbed it." ”
"What is it?" Yun Yuhong was also very curious, she didn't see the excitement of the Seventh Princess's Mansion, she felt a little pity.
“… It is a Hehuan powder made with the venom of Little Red. "Little Red is a rare little red snake, a baby of a crybaby, venom can be used to make aphrodisiacs, the effect is very strong, the really deadly poison brought by stingy ghosts is not much, most of them are some spoof drugs.
"......" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
On the second day, Yun Yuhong and others bought a carriage, brought enough dry food, and several people embarked on the journey to the medical valley again.
Because the second prince and the seventh princess did not dare to make a noise about the ugly things, and were confined by the emperor, they could only be honest people, but they didn't have the heart to send people to chase and kill them.
The national teacher proposed that everyone change the name, first of all, he himself, he was forced to become a monk back then, to be honest, there is not much Buddha heart in the monkhood in recent years, so he still decided to return to the vulgar, and because he has long been not a national teacher, so he still reverts to his real name, everyone can call him Mr. Ning. The old Taoist is still called the Taoist or the master. Yun Yuhong, don't call the eldest princess or the young valley master, just call the master for short. It's nothing for the four little ghosts to call them nicknames in private, but they still have to be called big names on formal occasions, especially the unlucky ghosts, a girl is always called like this, which has been gratefully glanced at by the unlucky ghosts, and everyone said yes to the proposal of the national teacher, so that it is indeed convenient to walk outside, and it is not easy to expose the identity.
A few people talked and laughed, but they were also happy, but the more they walked, the more desolate they became, and some refugees could be seen on the road, dragging their families to migrate to the big city. After careful inquiry, I learned that in the north of the Yuxue Kingdom, the court wanted to build several horse farms to raise war horses, so the cultivated land was levied from the farmers, and the original land area was not large, but the officials in Beijing followed suit and came to the north to enclose the land to establish hunting grounds or mountain villas, and several villages and towns were turned into their own private gardens by these officials, and the good cultivated land was overgrown with grass. This common people have suffered, they have been farming for generations, and they have no other means of survival. Leaving the land on which they depended for their livelihood, they had no way to live, so they had to wander around.
Yun Yuhong and a few people were angry in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do, this was not an official who was corrupt, this was a group of officials who were greedy, blatant and unscrupulous. The hearts of several people became heavy again with the refugees.
On this day, several people came to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain not far from the enclosure, this mountain is very tall and precipitous, but the trees are verdant, the scenery is not bad, Yunyuhong is enjoying the mountain scenery, suddenly a group of bandits rushed down from the mountain, and soon surrounded several people and cars, headed by a bearded man with a big waist and a round waist, ragged, no less than a dozen patches, but the voice was loud: "This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to pass from now on, leave the money to sell the road." ”
Yun Yuhong almost squirted out the water she had just drunk, but she didn't expect the bandit industry to really have such an opening statement.
