Chapter 6 (4)
Chen Bozhan stood on top of the high city tower, looking at everything in the border city silently, and now it has been nearly a month since Huizong disappeared. Everyone believed that Huizong and the chivalrous man had no hope of survival. Jiang Lin sent several letters, hoping that Chen Bozhan would find two unknown dead bodies disguised as the corpses of Huizong. Jiang Peng's death has not yet reached the capital, but Chen Bozhan knows that if it drags on any longer, someone will definitely report the news of his killing of Jiang Peng to Jiang Lin. He could no longer rely on the power of the Chen family, and Huizong's personal guards had already searched the vicinity of the border city. Chen Bozhan suddenly felt that he shouldn't have killed Jiang Peng, but if he didn't kill him, how could the many generals in this city work for him, and how could everyone do their best to find Huizong's whereabouts?
He looked at the sky, and it was going to rain again. Although the border city in September was not in the scorching heat, it began to rain continuously, the water was quite deep in many places, and some mountains even had landslides, everyone had long thought that Huizong was killed, but Chen Bozhan still wandered around the villages, trying to find news of Huizong.
On this day, Chen Bozhan took his guards out again, but it rained heavily halfway through. Everyone had to find a ruined temple nearby.
"This shit's ghost weather ......" A guard brushed the water droplets off his armor and spat on the ground with hatred.
"This fucking ......cold place," the group cursed, and finally sat down in a watertight place.
"Brothers, it's been a really hard day." Chen Bo showed that everyone sat down, and bowed to everyone with his fists in his hands. Chen Bozhan's personal guards are a total of seven people, everyone saw that he was a young age to obey the control of his subordinates, although he was particularly cold and meticulous in training, but when he was idle, he mingled with everyone, never held his own identity, and appreciated him more, with his life and death, he was already a good brother who could rely on each other for life and death. At this time, seeing that there were no outsiders, everyone no longer had scruples about talking.
"General, we have been looking for many days, and the emperor is afraid that it will be ......"
Before the guards could finish their words, they heard a sparse sound coming from the haystack. Chen Bozhan's eyes were slightly cold, he got up and picked up the hay with his sword, and found that it was a half-grown child hiding in the haystack, holding a delicate tassel in his hand, staring at Chen Bozhan with wide eyes in horror, and his body couldn't help trembling.
Unexpectedly, Chen Bozhan dragged the child out, snatched the tassel from the boy's hand, and examined it carefully. "Say, where did this tassel come from?"
The boy opened his mouth wide and only whined. "It's a mute." The guard snorted coldly.
"This Yingluo is on the emperor's jade pendant, and this technique is only known to the embroidery lady in the palace."
The crowd gathered around, and the little beggar crawled back into the haystack, covered himself with hay, and shook his body.
"There have been many flash floods in recent days, and it is not known where they are trapped."
"The people we sent out are all dying in this vicinity, and we are afraid that the emperor will be taken away by others......" As soon as the man finished speaking, he looked at the little beggar trembling in the corner, and was about to draw his sword and kill him, but was stopped by Chen Bozhan.
"It's just a beggar, forget it." After speaking, Chen Bozhan stepped out of the temple gate, and when he saw that the rain had stopped, he left the broken temple with everyone. The group walked in a hurry, and no one noticed that the little beggar had climbed out of the haystack, and looked thoughtfully in the direction they had left.
Father-in-law An walked on the muddy road, his body was already dilapidated, his already emaciated body was now even more skinny and bone-like, the huge burden was robbed by the homeless people only a few clothes, and the silver and silver tickets on his body had already been robbed, he was like those homeless people along the way, gnawing the bark of trees, drinking rainwater, and finally came to the border city. He knew that half a month ago, the border city was finally beaten down by Chen Bozhan again. He traveled through the villages near Cannes, but there was no trace of Huizong.
On this day, he came to a tree hole where the displaced people often gathered as usual, and many displaced people were still afraid that the border city would fall again, so even if Chen Bozhan recovered the border city, there were still many displaced people gathered in groups in groups outside the city in broken temples and caves.
Father-in-law An had just dragged his tired body to the cave, and at the door was the water that the homeless people had brought back from the river not far away, he took a bowl and walked to the innermost corner of the cave and sat down, hugged the burden tighter, and drank a few sips of water freely, and then heard a woman talking to her man not far away.
"Did you know? There is a person in the cave where the Wu family is hiding all day long, and he can't even fetch water. The woman pursed her lips and spat in disgust.
"They all fled the city for refuge, and they are also the children of big families in the city, how can they be like us? Where did they hunt the chickens? I'm going to go around there too, and we're going to fight tooth sacrifices too!" ”
After hearing this, Gonggong An knew that the person was Huizong. There are many caves outside the city, and people hidden in each cave are neighbors or relatives in the city, and when he was passing through a certain mountain pass, he happened to meet an uncle who fainted by the tree, he saved the uncle, and then came to this cave under the guidance of the uncle.
At this time, the uncle he rescued a few days ago walked in, first put the chapped nest in his arms at the entrance of the cave, and then took two more and walked to Grandpa An's side, and handed one to Grandpa An.
Father-in-law An hurriedly took the steamed bun, "Uncle, if it weren't for your care, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." ”
"I fainted on the side of the road that day, if you didn't save me, the old man would have gone to see Hades a long time ago."
When the people in the cave saw that Father-in-law An and the old man had eaten the nest, they went to the entrance of the cave and took food from each other. Gonggong An looked at the people in the cave and asked with a smile: "Uncle really has a way, he can still find food in this troubled world, if there is no you, I am afraid that we people will be hungry and full." ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled heartily, and said quite proudly: "I am a slave of the Chen family, of course I know when they will throw away the food that cannot be sold, these days the eldest young master of the Chen family led the troops back to the border city, and the Chen family cake shop in the city has also opened, I will go back to the city during the day, bring more dry food back, if the war breaks out again, we don't have to be implicated again!" ”
Father-in-law An complimented a few words, the old man became more and more proud, and Father-in-law An saw that the old man was coaxed by himself to become more and more obedient, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Uncle, do you know where there are caves nearby to house homeless people?" I have a brother with whom I was separated earlier, and I think that Xu should also be rescued by the nearby homeless people, I am afraid that he will be in another cave......"
The old man's eyes flashed slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "There are two caves near here, and I will take you there early tomorrow morning." ”
Father-in-law An hurriedly weighed up, swallowed the cold water in his hand, and curled up in the cave. When the old man saw him sleeping, he glanced at the untouched nest in his hand, got up and walked out of the cave.
It was night, Yue Ning lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but she couldn't sleep, and when she heard Yue Ning's movement outside, she asked, "But you can't sleep?" Yuening heard the dark one's question, picked up the clothes next to the bed, put them on her body, and walked out.
When he saw Yuening coming out, he hurriedly put on his clothes and sat up from the bed.
"It's a little sleepy. The sister-in-law of the Li family gave us these valuable things, you, don't you doubt it? Yue Ning tilted her head to look at Dark One, smiled secretly, and took Yue Ning's hand to let her sit on the bed.
"You and I are from the capital, and they haven't asked us about our past. I saw today's ceremony, they have very good rules, and they have quite the manners of the previous dynasty, I think they must be the family members of the official eunuchs of the previous dynasty. They don't have any bad intentions towards you and me, what else do we want to do? ”
Yue Ning was stunned, looked at the dark one, and said softly: "Brother Yi, I thought you were from a secret guard, but you would be more cautious......"
Darkly hugged Yuening and smiled at her: "Sister-in-law Li is right, the past is just a passing cloud, since you and I live in this small village, there is no dark one in this world, I am just your husband, tomorrow I will go to the sister-in-law of the Li family, let's also ask the old man in the village to be a witness, I will ask Granny Guo to be a matchmaker, don't wronged you." ”
Yue Ning looked at the dark one, the moonlight spilled in through the window, shining on the dark one's face looked particularly soft, he had long lost the cold temperament of the dark guard, at this time, he squinted his eyes and looked at the moon in his arms with a gentle smile, as if the moon ning was the most precious treasure in his world, Yue Ning leaned his head on the dark one, and heard the dark one continue: "...... Wait a few more years, the people in the villa think that you and I are dead, we will secretly go back to worship Uncle Yue, he will pick you up back to the villa, raise you to the biggest, but he is not there when we get married, when the time comes, we will take the child to see him together, he will be happy for you if he knows the spring. ”
Yue Ning never knew that Dark One could be so delicate, and even thought of her nominal father who had passed away for many years, and her heart was even more moved, she looked at Dark One, her hand tightened her clothes nervously, and said, "I ......"
As soon as she heard her speak, she lowered her head and looked at Yue Ning in her arms, Yue Ning's little face was flushed at this time, and she thought she was shy, so she changed the subject, "By the way, you and I were taken captive that day, in the Vietnamese army camp, you were not with me when I woke up, and I was taken away by the white-robed general, and when I came back, he respected you a lot, but what did you say to him?" ”
Yue Ning was slightly stunned, "I, I said that we are people from Qiancheng Villa, he originally intended to make friends with the owner of the village, but he just said that when he knocked down the border city, he let us go, and asked me to tell the owner that he intends to make friends with the country......"
After hearing it secretly, knowing that Qiancheng Villa was rich and rivaled the country, the Yue people must have moved their minds to make friends, and besides, they had long since stopped serving the villa, let alone thought about it anymore, picked up Yuening, walked to the house and put it on the bed, and put the quilt on Yuening, "Go to bed early, tomorrow I will go to Granny Guo to be a matchmaker for us." ”
Yue Ning nodded and closed her eyes, only to hear the dark one leave the room and walk towards the small couch outside, covering the quilt for a while. She opened her eyes, sighed lowly, and stayed awake all night.
