Yan Xiaowei was taken aback by her abnormal expression, and nodded blankly: "Yes, grandma, do you know him?" ”

The old woman suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and her hook-like nails poked her painfully: "Then do you know Rong Yuanzhi?" ”

Rong Yuanzhi? Yan Xiaowei heard of this name for the first time, but listening to the surname, nine times out of ten she is also from the Rong family, she quickly turned her head and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes as if asking for help.

The Nine Emperors were also stunned, and opened their mouths in surprise: "This is the name of the late Rong Lao General, Grandma, how do you know?" ”

The old woman seemed to have been hit by something, her steps trembled, and her whole face was like ashes: "Deceased? It turned out that he ...... He's dead? ”

Yan Xiaowei took the opportunity to escape from her hands, and saw her hunched and staggering, looking like she would fall down at any time, so she hurriedly grabbed her elbow: "Do you know General Rong?" ”

This is strange, an old woman who lives alone in the deep mountains and old forests actually mentions the name of the former general in her mouth, and shows a complicated look, no matter how you look at it, she feels that there is a story in it. What's more, although this old woman has a strange temper, she has learned good medical skills, what is the origin of this?

The old lady suddenly turned her face: "I don't know, how can I know him!" ”

Her lips trembled, her eyes stared blankly at a spot on the ground, and she turned to walk towards the entrance of the cave.

Yan Xiaowei saw that her feet were about to step on the clay bowl that had just been broken, so she hurriedly reached out and pulled her from the side.

The old woman suddenly shook off her hand irritably, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you both know people from the Rong family?" ”

Yan Xiaoyu hesitated, seeing her series of abnormal actions, she didn't dare to speak easily.

The old woman saw something in her dodgy eyes, and reached out to push her: "You guys go quickly, let me go!" Disappear from my eyes immediately! ”

As she spoke, as if she was being chased from behind, she climbed up the hill with her hands and feet, and at once got into the hole. Close the rough fence door from the inside of the hole.

Yan Xiaowei took three steps and made two steps to chase after her: "Grandma, okay, what's wrong with you?" ”

The old woman's menacing voice came from inside: "Can't you understand human words? Get me away! Didn't I tell you yesterday when I saved that kid outside? After saving him, you have to meet one condition for me, and that condition is to leave my forest! Don't mention me to anyone after you go out, or I won't spare you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of ping-pong things falling to the ground, Yan Xiaoyi shouted to her worriedly for a long time, but there was no response at all.

The Nine Emperor Princes watched quietly beside him for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, she must have some secret that can't be said, so let's not make it difficult for others." It's not early, let's get out of the woods! ”

Although Yan Xiaowei felt that there was something strange in this, she was not qualified to ask more about a stranger who had only seen her for two days. Besides, she still owes her a promise? Since you have agreed to other people's conditions, you have to abide by them.

Before leaving, she wanted to do something to express her gratitude to the old woman for coming to the past two days, but in this wilderness, there was no place to spend money, she thought about it, and took the Nine Emperor Princes to help the old woman find a few large bundles of dead branches in the forest and pile them not far from the entrance of the cave, and caught a few hares and tied them hand and foot, and tied them to the old tree at the door with ropes.

The two of them walked out of the forest with a heavy heart, and walked upstream along the river where they had fallen at the beginning.

Because the Nine Emperors' body was still weak, Yan Xiaoyi's hands and feet were injured to varying degrees, so he stopped all the way, and the black canopy had already been pulled down.

The two of them were tired and tired, so they casually found a windswept mountain nest to settle down temporarily. The Nine Emperor Princes found two stones out of nowhere, one large and one small. Pinch the dead grass in one hand, and rub the small stone on top of the big one in the other. In a few moments, the withered grass began to smoke white, and he leaned down and blew twice in quick and skillful succession at the white smoke, and the withered grass suddenly burst into flames several inches high.

He skillfully put the fire into the woodroom he had gathered, added some hay, and in a short time it became a warm bonfire.

Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but secretly admire his smooth and skillful gestures all the way, and felt a little emotional when she looked at him with a faint expression as if she was in an ordinary attitude.

Who would have thought that a person born in the family of an emperor would know how to light a fire like a woodcutter?

Sensing her intense gaze, the Nine Emperor Prince's smooth movements paused slightly, and he looked up at her lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Xiaoyun looked at the sky with her hands and knees, and at some point, the top of her head was already full of stars.

She sighed lightly: "It's nothing, I just feel that the last few days were very thrilling, like a nightmare." I didn't think I really survived until now! ”

The Nine Emperors lightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Relax now?" We haven't gone back yet! ”

As he spoke, a cold wind blew from the mountain stream, and the bonfire suddenly soared high, and the splashed sparks jumped down. She quickly moved her body and ducked back, but as soon as she left the campfire, she felt cold again.

She hugged her knees a little tighter with her hands, and looked around, and there was nothing but a sunken col, and beneath her ass sat hard grass, and the cold dew of the night returned, wet and cold. There was not even a place to hide overhead, and if it rained in the middle of the night, there would be no place to hide.

Yan Xiaoyi's hands rubbed twice on the placket of her clothes uneasily: "Let's just sleep like this tonight?" Can I get a stroke when I wake up the next morning? "It's not good to have a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, she's not married yet!

The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at her, and the branch in his hand scratched around on the ground: "Tonight, someone will come looking for us!" ”

Yan Xiaoyu suddenly sat up straight and looked at him in surprise: "Really? How do you know? ”

The Nine Emperor Princes threw away the branches, and opened their palms against the ground: "I feel the vibration, and it is getting stronger and stronger, it should be a large wave of people rushing over!" ”

Yan Xiaoyan followed his example and put her hand on the ground, but she didn't feel anything except the wet and cool weeds.

He looked at her puzzled look, and reached out to pat the ground beside him: "You have never practiced martial arts, and your ears and senses are not as good as mine." Try it with your ears on the ground! ”

Yan Xiaowei hurriedly lay on the ground, and the fluffy weeds disobediently burrowed into her ears, wet and itchy, but all her attention at this time was focused on the sound in her ears, kicking and tapping, like the sound of horses' hooves, and chaotic footsteps, which shook her heartstrings.

Yan Xiaowei sat up suddenly, and looked around vigilantly: "Could it be Rong Xiu them?" What if the bandits find it? ”

The Nine Emperors glanced at her and shook his head slowly: "No, the Rong family army has never lost, and even if those bandits escape, they won't be able to escape." Those remnants are busy making a living, how can they worry about the two of us. Moreover, judging from the voices that came, at least about 100 people, it must have been Rong Xiu who found that the two of us were missing, and sent a large number of people to find them along the river under the cliff! ”

He clasped his hands on his shoulders, stretched his two slender legs, and half-closed his eyes: "In an hour or so, they are bound to arrive here, let's just wait!" ”

Seeing his calm expression, Yan Xiaowei gradually relaxed, and half-squinted her eyes to rest.

After some time, she was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a large group of people and horses rushing down the river upstream, holding torches high. The flickering torches illuminated the entire mountain stream like a fiery dragon.

The Nine Emperor Princes neatly turned over and jumped up from the ground, saw the person sitting on the horse from a distance, and hooked the corners of his lips: "I'm right, right?" ”

Pan Shu, the leader, was stunned, and his eyes immediately searched the fire of sparks shining slightly in the col in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the horsewhip was whipped on the horse's leg behind him, and the horse raised its front hooves and jumped high, and immediately rushed out of the large army.

The horse's hooves were raised high and a splash of water was made, like a picture of a horse on the battlefield that could walk.

When he reached the two of them, he flipped his wrist and strangled Ma Shuangli, and a tiger jumped and landed in front of Yan Xiaoyi.

He glanced at Yan Xiaoyun first, and was slightly relieved to see that she was all right, but instead of greeting, he bowed to the Nine Emperor Princes and replied respectfully: "Nine Emperor Princes, Pan Shu was ordered by the emperor to search for your whereabouts." I don't want to meet a few poor people from Qingyun Mountain along the way, and I have been delayed for some hours, so I ask His Highness Jiu for forgiveness! ”

The Nine Emperor Princes raised his hand to him: "It's okay, the bandits in Qingyun Mountain have been cleared up?" ”

Pan Shu straightened his waist slightly, and his expression was a little proud: "It's all clean!" Originally, the group of bandits and rogues still wanted to resist stubbornly and fight with us to break the net, but it happened that the emperor and the old general Rong came to watch the battle in person, and brought some reinforcements from the imperial soldiers, and this battle was very refreshing! ”

The Nine Emperors' eyes flashed: "My father and the old general Rong are also here?" ”

Pan Shu nodded: "Yes, as soon as the news of finding you on Qingyun Mountain reached the capital, the emperor and the old general Rong rushed over without touching the ground." Knowing that you were poisoned by Gu and fell off the cliff, the emperor was shocked by the attack of an old disease, and it was not easy to be stabilized by the Taiyi medicine. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to explain to the emperor! ”

When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they were silent for a moment and thoughtful.

Although Pan Shu was a rough man, he didn't want to be so arrogant on the surface, seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes were pale and sickly, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Nine Emperor Princes, are you in good health?" The emperor and the old general are all in the temporarily built barracks in front, and now they are more exposed, and your face is not good, so you should rush back to rest as soon as possible, so that the emperor can rest at ease! ”

Seeing the Nine Emperors nodding, Pan Shu beckoned, and a small soldier had already brought a tall horse. The Nine Emperors raised his hand and stroked the horse's head, put his hand on the saddle, and the whole person turned over with his hands and feet, but Yan Xiaoyi was startled when he saw it, and couldn't help but instruct him: "Hey, you be careful, the Gu poison on your body only happened yesterday, although the poison has been resolved now, but there is still residual poison in the body, and it is very weak." Don't let it be! ”
