Chapter 7 The Old Man of Yaoguzi
"I took some coils and hired a carriage, thinking that after a month and a half and twenty days, I could get to Meilin Town. But I never thought that when I arrived here, the people sent by my father actually found me, and the coachman drove away in fright, and I couldn't break free from them, if it weren't for my son...... The girl rescues her, I'm afraid it's ......"
"There are still about two or three days to go from Meilin Town, and it's almost there." Nangong Qi said.
"Really?" Ye Biyu looked excited, "I've never been there, I'm afraid of going in the wrong direction." ”
"That sweetheart of yours lives in Meilin Town?" An Wanqing guessed.
Ye Biyu nodded, "In the early summer of last year, the third sister teased me and pushed me into the pond, but my mother not only did not punish the third sister, but punished me to the temple for half a month according to the third sister's temperament. During my temporary stay in the temple wing, I met Qiao Lang, and the two of us cherished each other, and when we chatted, we learned that he was originally a scholar who had failed to make the list. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Biyu eased her breath and continued: "His family is poor, but I don't care, and he doesn't dislike my identity as a concubine. On the occasion of parting, he told me that he lived in Qiaojiazhuang, Meilin Town, Yucheng. ”
Ye Biyu's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Third Miss is so arrogant, how can you let her bully?" After An Wanqing finished speaking, she regretted it a little. She also understands that it is an indisputable fact that there is a difference between respect and inferiority since ancient times.
Ye Biyu was obviously used to being bullied, and bowed her head and said: "She has the support of her mother-in-law, and I am just a concubine, and my mother died early." In fact, when his mother was there, he was just one of his father's many aunts, and he had no status. ”
An Wanqing glanced at her with some sympathy.
"It's really not fair." Nangong Qi frowned, and it was rare to say a few words seriously.
An Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at him. Thinking of him telling himself that he was the seventh in the family, I was afraid that he would also be a concubine.
"There was once a minister's daughter who wanted to marry the overseer of the Imperial Jin Army, who would have thought that after seeing the ruthless methods of the Imperial Jin Army, she would be so frightened that she went crazy on the spot." Ye Biyu said scaredly.
An Wanqing really didn't understand in her heart. The overseer in charge of the entire Imperial Jin Army should be not young, right? How could a young lady like such a person with the smell of blood?
"As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, and the governor must be fierce and ugly." An Wanqing had a hint of hatred in her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and turned her head to look at Nangong Qi, "Aren't you from the capital?" Have you ever seen one? ”
"He is ......" Nangong Qi frowned, wanted to speak and stopped, and then smiled at An Wanqing: "That must not be as good-looking as the master, the young master Yushu is in the wind, graceful, and looks like a fairy......"
"You can be quiet for a while." An Wanqing gave him an angry look.
Nangong Qi had no choice but to shut up.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky gradually darkened, and the wind outside was whistling and blowing the door frame of the broken temple, and the sound of clanging accompanied by the sound of the rain looked a little creepy in the silent night, but fortunately, they were three people, so they were not so afraid.
"We saved you, but we were moved by compassion, and we can only help you get here. In the future, you should be more careful yourself, you must know that your father is the prime minister after all, and since your grandmother does not want to see you, I am afraid that she will not easily give up chasing you. An Wanqing kindly reminded.
Ye Biyu was a little scared, "This ...... How can this be? ”
"No way, who wants to marry their precious daughter to Nayama." Nangong Qi shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, and said casually: "Unless someone is willing to marry you instead." ”
Ye Biyu lowered her head a little disappointed and helpless.
An Wanqing was taken aback by Nangong Qi's not easy words, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she raised her head suddenly, glared at her and said, "I am willing." ”
"What?" Ye Biyu and Nangong Qi almost shouted out in unison, looking at her incredulously.
An Wanqing's heart suddenly thumped, and she looked at Nangong Qi who was surprised, without giving any explanation.
Looking at each other, Nangong Qi was startled, and his heart was clear, "You don't want to die, do you want to go deep into the tiger's den and burn the jade?" ”
Ye Biyu didn't understand, but Nangong Qi did. Marrying the enemy, this is the best opportunity to get close to the enemy, and on the wedding night, it is easy to take his life.
An Wanqing's pupils shrank, and her face was determined.
She originally wanted to avenge her father and hundreds of people in Anfu, if she could sneak into the mansion of the Overseer of the Imperial Jin Army, killing him with her own hands would not only avenge her father, but also eliminate harm for the people.
With her ability, if she wants to get close to the Overseer of the Imperial Jin Army, it is naturally more difficult than ascending to the sky.
An Wanqing thought that such a vicious person had not been assassinated, presumably his mansion was impregnable, and it was not easy for outsiders to get in. And marrying is undoubtedly not a good way.
Ye Biyu didn't understand why An Wanqing wanted to marry instead of herself, so she frowned and said in confusion: "However, this is a marriage given by His Majesty, how can my father let a stranger marry instead of me?" This is the sin of deception! Besides, several young ladies from the official eunuchs have seen me, and they can't hide it. ”
An Wanqing was suddenly depressed and sighed lightly. Indeed, this is impossible, unless, she can have a face exactly like the second miss.
"It's not impossible to have the same face."
The voice of the old man came, and everyone was startled, obviously not expecting that there would be a fourth person in the broken temple.
Ye Biyu was timid, and immediately grabbed An Wanqing's arm and screamed in fright, "Ah! Ghosts, there are ghosts. ”
An Wanqing was not scared lightly, but she still had the courage to pat her hand, "Don't be afraid, it's human." ”
"Who's talking?" Nangong Qi stood up, frowned and looked around the empty surroundings, and said vigilantly: "If you have a kind, come out, hide and eavesdrop." Dare to scare people, come out! ”
"Old man, I have slept in this broken temple all afternoon, and it is obvious that you have disturbed my little old man's good dreams."
Following the direction from which the voice came, An Wanqing stretched out her hand and pointed to the rectangular wooden table under the stone pier of the Buddha statue, "People are here." ”
I saw a white-bearded old man leaning under the long wooden table and chairs, covered with broken straw mats, and if I didn't look closely, I really couldn't imagine that someone would hide in the broken straw mats under the table to sleep. The cover was tight, and it was no wonder that An Wanqing didn't pay attention to it.
"Where's the weirdo?" Nangong Qi asked strangely.
The white-bearded old man lifted the tattered straw mat from his body, crawled out from under the rectangular wooden table, and sat down on the ground without saying a word, covered in rags, patch after patch, making people want to be separated by some distance.
"I am the legendary king of medicine, and the medicine millet has no chance." The old man of Yaoguzi said.
"Medicine King?" Nangong Qi turned his head to look at An Wanqing, and shook his head in a wooden manner, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"Ahem!" Yao Guzi smiled awkwardly, "I'm self-appointed." ”
"Huh!" Nangong Qi sneered, turned his head and whispered to An Wanqing, "Most of this person is sick. ”
"Less is more." An Wanqing also felt that the old man in front of her was a little nervous, and pulled Nangong Qi and Ye Biyu to the side.
