Chapter Eighty-Six: Two Princes
Finally found a hidden cave, and after the two entered, Megumi hid the entrance to the cave.
They hid in the cave for a day and a night, leaving Yue'er in the cave, and Megumi went out on her own.
When she came back, Yue'er could see that she had cried, and Huizhi didn't hide it from her: "I buried Lan Xin." ”
Yue'er wept and asked, "Have you left those marks?" Why haven't Chi Yu and Xiao Wu caught up yet? ”
Hui Zhi slowly opened his clenched hand, and there was the tooth card lying in his palm, which Lan Xin took from Chi Yu.
Yue'er took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Chi Yu is a third-grade guard, why did he go to Beiping with us?" ”
Megumi shook her head: "I don't know, he never told me this." I knew that he was the bodyguard of His Royal Highness King Su for many years, and I didn't ask him what grade he was. ”
Yes, Chi Yu was sent by Su Tan to protect Yue'er, and he wanted to protect Yue'er all the time. In that way, his future would be ruined, but he still came. Why is this, Yue'er couldn't figure it out, and Huizhi didn't think about it, she just said: "Miss, Chi Yu and Xiao Wu can't come, he lied to me, he swore that he would not let him have an accident, but he broke his promise." ”
When he left Beijing, there were six people, and now there are only two Yue'er and Huizhi left. Hui Zhi went out to look for food, and there was nothing to eat on the mountain in the early spring. As soon as some of the wild vegetables emerged, she dug them up. Yue'er also went out to dig with her, she had the moonlight sent by Su Tan in her hand, and Huizhi dug with a hairpin without a knife.
When you are thirsty, you drink water from mountain streams and mountain springs that flow from the cracks in the stones. The two hid in the mountains for five days, and one of them did not dare to go out to dig wild vegetables when it rained, so they ate the rest of the previous day in the cave.
Five days passed, thinking that the person who was chasing them should not be in the mountain, so the two of them came down from the other side.
When they went to a small town, they took all the jewelry on their bodies, and the sad thing is that the jewelry on their bodies was only Yue'er left with a hairpin, which was originally jade, but now it is broken into two parts, and it is only sold for 500 yuan. Hui Zhen wants to sell the pair of gold earrings that Chi Yu gave her, which are embedded with two jade droplets, thinking that they are worth some silver. But Yue'er said that she would not let her sell anything, and Chi Yu left her nothing, leaving only this pair of earrings and the tooth tag that was turned out of Lan Xin's body.
The 500 dollars bought two coarse cloth men's shirts, and after the two of them changed them, they found a hoe at the back door of a house, which should have been temporarily put away for a while.
It's a hoe without a shaft, and Megumi wraps it in his clothes and leaves. At night, the two found a pile of firewood and straw to sleep on, and soaked hoes in a small puddle next to them.
When the hoe is covered with rust, it can be applied to the face.
The two of them are in a very difficult situation now, poverty is not the most terrible, what is terrible is the chaser who may appear at any time.
didn't dare to stay in the inn, but the household registration stickers that Su Tan prepared for them at the beginning were all on their bodies, and they were all fake names. The two rented a house, cleaned up a little and moved in. Now they don't dare to go any further, it's not that they won't leave, but they can't go now. No money, no carriages and horses, still two girls' family, and they have to face a chaser who may come at any time.
Neither of them knew that Chi Yu had been sending news to Su Tan for help at the beginning, and the line of his death was completely broken.
Su Tan is on the way to the domain, and now he has arrived at the Qin Wang's domain and is a guest in the Qin Wang's mansion. He summoned his chief guard, Xu Mian, and asked, "Is there still no letter from Chi Yu?" ”
Xu Mian replied: "No, but according to the news on the way from the capital to Beiping, they are very smooth, and it is time to pass through Hejian Mansion at this time." ”
Su Tan nodded thoughtfully: "When you get to the place of the seventh child, it should be fine." ”
The close attendant Xiaofuzi came in and reported: "Lord, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is urging." ”
Su Tan got up and walked out, and after going out, he turned back to Xu Mian behind him and ordered, "Let Chi Yu send a written message back." ”
Su Huan, the king of Qin, was waiting outside the gate of the palace in a vermilion regular dress, while Su Tan was not wearing a prince's clothes but a noble son.
After the two got into the car, Su Huan sighed: "It's not the right time for the fourth brother to come this year, those beautiful young ladies all got married last year, and this year's garden banquet is really boring." ”
Su Tan chuckled: "Could it be that Lao Jiu, you want to take the young lady who is very beautiful in the Guanzhong, and you can't accept them into the Qin Palace?" ”
Su Huan leaned lazily on the cushion, and tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table: "I have that lust but I don't have the guts, fourth brother, you don't know, this Lin family who held a garden banquet today a few years ago, I will go all year round, guess who that beauty in his family is?" ”
Su Tan raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "I haven't been to Guanzhong, where do I know this beauty." ”
As soon as Su Huan talked about this, he became interested, and even his sitting posture was no longer lazy, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to fly, and he said, "Shen Yue'er, it's the eldest lady in Shen Zuoxiang's mansion." This Lin family is her maternal grandfather, who came at the age of ten. Fourth brother doesn't remember? At that time, she lived in Yikun Palace for more than half a year. ”
Su Tan nodded, patted Su Huan's shoulder sympathetically and said, "You have a deeper impression of her than me." Lao Qi didn't beat you lightly for her back then. ”
Su Huan was angry when he thought of this, and complained to Su Tan: "Don't mention it, Seventh Brother is really enough, no matter how you beat me, you will kill me." That time, in front of my mother, he almost kicked me to death. ”
Su Tan smiled and listened to Lao Jiu's complaints, and he was also reminded of his memories of the year.
When he was in the forest garden, Su Huan pointed to the pavilion on the rockery and said, "Last year, when the seventh brother came, we saw Yue'er coming there. The girl didn't know what was going on, she didn't remember us at all, and she ignored me every year when I saw her. ”
Su Tan went up to the rockery and stood in the pavilion looking at the entire Lin family's house, Lao Jiu was chattering there again: "Fourth brother, you said that this Lin family is really not a thing, last year, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin also moved their hearts to give Yue'er to me." I didn't want to lose face with that girl, so I left Seventh Brother behind, and then I ran away. ”
Speaking of this, he immediately laughed proudly, and Su Tan also knew how Su Zhi and Yue'er were connected again.
Su Tan thought that if he had come to the domain a year earlier, maybe Yue'er would be willing to go to Ganzhou with him.
This year, the Lin family did not come to the banquet of the Lin family, and they didn't even send a gift. Mrs. Lin kept scolding the Xie family angrily after the banquet, but in fact, she also knew in her heart that the Xie family used to come just for Yue'er, but now that Yue'er is no longer in the Lin family, there is no need for the Xie family to accommodate the Lin family anymore.
Su Tan knew from Su Huan that Yue'er had lived in the courtyard, and he sneaked to take a look, which was still empty.
Su Huan was not interesting to play, so he followed. The two princes sat on the beams of people's houses, drinking a pot of wine for each person.
Su Huan suddenly had a whim: "Fourth brother, I'll go to Ganzhou with you for a few days." ”
Su Tan smiled bitterly and said, "If we are brothers from ordinary families, even if you live in the fourth brother's house for the rest of your life, I welcome you." ”
Su Huan, who has always been a child, stopped talking when he heard this, and the two brothers knew in their hearts that they could not do anything except to reproduce the next generation in their own domain.
If the two princes get together, they will be jealous of their father, the emperor, their eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Su Tan lived in the Qin Palace's mansion for half a month, and while talking about brotherhood with Su Huan, he was waiting for a letter from Beiping.
The letters over there didn't wait, but they waited for the letters from the Zhenguo Mansion urging him to leave Guanzhong quickly. If it is said that it is the East Palace, he is afraid that he will unite with the King of Qin, so he must not stay in Guanzhong for a long time.
Su Tan also knew that it was powerful, so he said goodbye to Su Huan and set off for Ganzhou.
