Looking at Wen Ruyi's pleading appearance, Yang Erniang really couldn't refuse, she looked at the two of them carefully, and felt that the two of them should not be bad people, and it was indeed a bit dangerous for their mother and son to go on the road alone, so she said, "That's it, girl, you can go with us, just like your husband said, let's go together, and there will be a good response on the road." ”

The word "husband" made Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze stunned in unison, the two of them glanced at each other, Wen Ruyi blushed and looked away first.

He ...... He's not my husband. Wen Ruyi whispered in her heart, no one heard it, and Yang Erniang naturally regarded her and Chu Hongze as a newlywed couple, and several of them walked together.

Along the way, the three big ones were laughing and laughing, and because there was an extra little guy, the speed of the road was obviously a lot slower, but no one was angry or angry about it.

And Yang'er's appearance also added a lot of color to Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze's long journey, children have always felt sensitive, and he also regarded Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze as a couple, shouting "uncle and aunt" again and again, which made the two suddenly become warm.

At noon, the four of them ate noodles at a roadside stall and chatted for a while, waiting for the sun to subside before resuming the journey.

"Sister-in-law Chunhua, how old is Yang'er this year?" Chunhua is Yang'erniang's name, and they introduced themselves during the meal before, so Wen Ruyi knew her name and called it accordingly.

"Yang'er, tell Aunt Wen, how old are you this year?" Chunhua's sister-in-law touched her son's head and whispered, her face filled with a gentle light.

Xiao Yang'er counted with her fingers, and at the end, she replied in a milky voice, "Five years old!" ”

Wen Ruyi looked at Chunhua's sister-in-law inquiringly, and after seeing her nodding in approval, she was even happier with Yang'er: "Yang'er is so good!" ”

An unintentional emotion was heard by Chu Hongze, but it made him feel moved, Ruyi looked at the child's eyes so gently, could it be ...... Does she want children too? After all, their age doesn't seem to be big in Wen Ruyi, but in this era, they should already have several children at their age.

Talking and laughing, the four of them ushered in the first pass, when the sun was about to set, and evening was coming.

Before approaching the pass, Wen Ruyi stopped, pulled Chu Hongze's sleeve, and asked him to look at the city gate of the pass, only to see a dense number of guards stationed at the gate of the city several feet high, all holding spears in their hands, looking ready to go, and strictly checking at the city gate.

Just by looking at this scene, they knew that it would not be easy to get through the gate. Not to mention, there may be guards of the Prince's Mansion dressed as ordinary people in the crowd coming and going!

With the ability to imagine alone, Wen Ruyi's heart began to panic, and the fingers grabbing Chu Hongze's sleeve tightened again and again, and said in a low voice that only two people could hear, "Lord Wang, what should I do?" There are a lot of guards, and it looks like they're checking for us. ”

When the guards on patrol saw a passer-by, they stopped them in their way, searched them thoroughly, and let them pass only when they thought they were okay.

This is nothing, what really scares Wen Ruyi is the portrait of her and Chu Hongze posted on the city wall.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she felt, Wen Ruyi's body couldn't help but tremble, her body was next to Chu Hongze's, so her trembling did not escape Chu Hongze's detection.

Chu Hongze stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder comfortingly, then turned his head to look at Yang'er and Chunhua's sister-in-law not far away, and struggled several times in his heart, "Don't be afraid, Ruyi, with me, it will be fine." ”

In fact, Chu Hongze's heart is also bottomless, it is almost impossible to pass through the heavily guarded pass, they will be stopped nine times out of ten, but this does not mean that they can't pass, if they want to pass, they need the help of one person, that is, Chunhua's sister-in-law.

It's just that I don't know if she'll help them.

The complexity of his mood made Chu Hongze lower his eyelids, and it was obviously not enough time to continue to discuss with Chunhua's sister-in-law, because their stop had almost attracted the attention of the guards guarding the city gate, and before they could be discovered, they would already be in chaos.

Without thinking about it, Chu Hongze took Wen Ruyi's arm and beckoned Chunhua's sister-in-law and Yang'er to the city gate together like a husband and wife of ordinary people.

The closer she is to the gate of the pass, the more uneasy and scared Wen Ruyi's heart becomes, all her calm reason gradually disintegrates under the shortening of the distance, she is not nervous about herself, but Chu Hongze, according to Mu Zirong's temper, they escaped from the wedding night, and also snatched the beads in his hand, which can be regarded as a loss to his wife and a soldier, you can imagine how angry he is in his heart.

"Ruyi, calm down!" When no one noticed, Chu Hongze would lower his head and whisper comfort next to Wen Ruyi's ear, although his comfort did not play any role, Wen Ruyi should still tremble, and he should be nervous or nervous.

Finally, the four of them came to the gate, and were stopped by the guard who had a mission on his side, "You, you four, come here to be checked!" ”

The guard who spoke stretched out his hand and gestured, pointing to the temporary shed next to it that was specially used to search their bodies, and said unceremoniously to the four of them.

During this period, Wen Ruyi kept shrinking behind Chu Hongze, her head hanging down from fear, she tried hard to shrink herself and reduce her sense of existence, but as everyone knows, the more she wanted to hide, the more strange the guards felt.

"Hey! What are you doing in the back? The guards who found Wen Ruyi hiding stepped forward and unceremoniously stretched out their hands to grab Wen Ruyi.

Seeing that his hand was about to touch Wen Ruyi's body, at this time, Chu Hongze took a step forward and used his body to protect Wen Ruyi behind, and at the same time, a flattering smile also appeared on his face after special disguise, and said to the guard: "Hey, this official, the villain's wife, sister-in-law and nephew are all from outside the Guan. If you want to go to the province to see your relatives, you see, can you be accommodating? ”

"Looking at relatives?" The suspicion in the guard's eyes was not reduced, but it was even stronger, although he was blocked by Chu Hongze, he still wanted to catch Wen Ruyi, and looked at them with a frown.

Chu Hongze saw that the situation was wrong, so he had to hug Wen Ruyi into his arms, and buckle the back of her head with a big palm, so that her face hit her chest, "Yes, yes, look at relatives, this is my wife, she has some problems in her brain, and she is a little afraid of seeing people, we went in here this time to see if her illness is still cured, if you don't believe it, you can ask my sister-in-law." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chunhua's sister-in-law again, looking at her pleadingly with a gaze that no one else could understand.

Others couldn't understand Chu Hongze's sight, but Chunhua's sister-in-law did, plus she vaguely heard the conversation between the young couple before, and she vaguely understood something in her heart.

Right now, she's the only one who can help them!

Sister-in-law Chunhua nodded at Chu Hongze and the guards who were checking without the slightest hesitation: "Hey, isn't it, brother, brother and sister, we can't delay any longer, it's too late, your brother will be angry, and then brother and sister are sick...... Ay! ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Hongze's heart relaxed, it seems that Chunhua's sister-in-law is willing to help them!

"That's right, sister-in-law, we have to continue on our journey, we can't delay on the way!" Chu Hongze learned to say in a rough voice like the ordinary people he had seen in the market, and hugged Wen Ruyi in his arms a little tighter, with a helpless look on his face.

If his subordinates were there, he would never have seen that this would be His Royal Highness the Rui King of the Dragon Teng Kingdom, but he would have thought that it was an ordinary commoner.

"Really?" However, the guards who blocked their way didn't believe their words, and still looked at a few people with suspicion, "Why do I think that the three of you don't look like a family at all?" ”

He looked back and forth at Wen Ruyi, Chu Hongze and Chunhua's sister-in-law with suspicious eyes, but as for Yang'er, the child was not taken seriously by him at all.

Now is a critical period, if you are not careful, it is those of you who are unlucky.

"Hey, this guard brother, look at what you said, why don't we look like a family anymore? We really are family, and we will never lie to you! "Chunhua's sister-in-law is a person who lives in the market, and she sees some things in the officialdom more clearly than Chu Hongze, and understands the thoughts of these people better.

I saw her put her hand in her arms and fumbled for a long time, and finally took out a few pieces of loose silver, took the guard's hand, and put the silver into his palm, "Hehe, this official, please smile at this little heart, you see that we are indeed in a hurry, can you give our family accommodation, the little woman will definitely be grateful." ”

Having said that, the guards guarding the city gate are not fools, how can they not understand what Chunhua's sister-in-law means. The power of silver is very great, otherwise how can it be said that money can make the ghost grind?

Seeing the small amount of broken silver, the guard secretly weighed it in his hand and looked around, as if to make sure that any of his colleagues had seen this picture.

He looked left and right for a while, and after making sure that no one found it, he accepted the scattered silver as if nothing happened, pushed Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi, and motioned for them to hurry up, "Really, really, since you want to see your relatives, then hurry up, don't delay the rest of the matter." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Chunhua's sister-in-law thanked her again and again, with a flattering expression, and quickly pulled the two and Yang'er to squeeze in through the gap on the side.
