Chapter 53: Invitation
It was a fine sunny day, and after two hours of walking, the road ahead was much drier. Both of them were wet and dirty, and they were uncomfortable. The face was also oily and uncomfortable, plus they hadn't slept all night, and the two of them were a little uncomfortable before noon.
Originally, people like them who practiced martial arts, and they didn't sleep all night, and they were nothing. But they are all arrogant people, and the most uncomfortable place may still be mud. Not only them, but even the two horses became mud horses.
The two rode their horses and ran for a while, and saw a small thatched hut at the intersection in front of them. There were still a few people eating there in front of the hut. The two of them were also hungry at this time. Then he rode his horse and galloped towards the thatched hut.
The thatched hut was a small restaurant, and a few people dressed as villagers were eating tofu and drinking wine and laughing. When they saw Zhu Neng and Yang Lan approaching, they were shocked by their nobility, and they all involuntarily moved to the side, and their voices were much quieter.
Yang Lan put on the hat again at this time, her face had been hastily washed in the morning, and the makeup on her face was very sloppy. Sitting down on a small chair in front of the thatched house, Zhu Neng drank, "Shopkeeper, bring me all your best dishes and the best wine." β
The shopkeeper was just a local farmer who wanted his wife and mother to earn a little money here. Seeing their luxurious ornaments and extraordinary spirits, I was already very happy. When he heard this, he immediately replied loudly, "Yes, my lord." β
After a while, three or four side dishes were placed on the table in front of them, and the shopkeeper was a man in his thirties with a simple face. While smiling innocently, he rubbed his hands, and said very uncomfortably: "Two officials, the villain is very simple here, just these few country dishes, please don't be surprised." β
Zhu Neng waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't care." Then he threw him a piece of silver and said, "I will reward you more." The shopkeeper took the money, and his eyes narrowed with joy. Saluted again and again: "Yes, yes, the official is slow to use." He bit the silver in his mouth and ran happily towards the hut.
This piece of silver, to say the least, has three or four taels. That's enough for them to spend a year. For such a small farmer, this is indeed a great reward.
The taste of these small stir-fries is really unusual. Let the two people who are used to eating big fish and meat call it delicious.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Zhu Neng's face couldn't help but become nervous. You know, it's a wilderness! Who else but them came to such a place?
His hand was placed on the scabbard, and the expression on his face also turned cold. Yang Lan was eating happily, while looking in the direction from which the horse's hooves came from time to time.
At this time, the villagers sitting next to them gradually dispersed. It's always a little uncomfortable for them to stay here.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and louder. Zhu Neng raised his head and looked at the person fixedly. There were five people who came, all of them dressed in green clothes. The horses they rode were tall and mighty, and they were not inferior to the horses they rode. And the direction they came from was exactly the direction of this thatched hut.
Yang Lan also raised her head at this time and looked at the five people seriously. These five people are all some men in the prime of life, all of them are tall and have long knives tied around their waists. There was an awe-inspiring murderous aura on his body. It seems that it is clearly a group of Jianghu people.
After they saw Zhu Neng and the others, the man who walked in front stretched out his hand and signaled the people behind him to stop.
He jumped off his horse and strode towards Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng's expression changed from nervous to confused at this time. for these men know them clearly.
"There are two masters in the next place!" When the man walked up to Zhu Neng, he bowed deeply and said very politely.
Zhu Neng's face jumped, and he said lightly: "Who is your master?" How did he know I was here? β
The man said respectfully: "Isn't it clear when the son sees my master?" But there is no way to refuse.
At this time, four other Tsing Yi people also came behind him. Zhu Neng looked at a few people coldly, and said lightly: "So," he picked up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip slowly, and said, "What if I don't want to go?" β
The man smiled slightly and said softly, "Of course Childe will go." Facing Zhu Neng's eyes, he reached out and handed over a scroll. Zhu Neng stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it a few times, but his face was very ordinary, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Yang Lan was eating seriously beside her, her eyes staring at those vegetable bowls, and she was very comfortable with her meal.
Zhu Neng looked at it for a while, put away the scroll, and said lightly: "Lead the way." β
After that, he turned to Yang Lan and said gently, "But you're full?" We're leaving. Yang Lan nodded, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked behind him towards his horse.
After getting on the horse, the group changed to the east path. This trail is full of mountain roads, and there is no end in sight to the winding paths. The peaks on both sides are lined up, and the peaks turn around. The green hills and green trees, the birds chirping, and the flowers everywhere are really an excellent place.
Those people didn't say a word all the way, and Zhu Neng was also silent. Yang Lan looked around excitedly while learning to call birds. Have fun.
"Chirp!" With the call of Yang Lan, there were also bird calls one after another among the trees. Yang Lan was happy, with her hands in her mouth, and her screams continued. Whether it is a magpie or a crow, or a oriole or a warbler, all kinds of cries come out of her little mouth from time to time, and they can almost be true.
Especially after a while, as soon as she opened her mouth, four or five birds would cry with her call. She had a good time, and Zhu Neng also had a faint and comfortable smile on her face. From time to time, his eyes were on her face.
The expressions of the two have long attracted the attention of several people in Tsing Yi. They glanced back at the two of them from time to time, and when they looked at Xiang Yanglan, they were even more inquiring.
Walking to the front, the road conditions are a bit dangerous. A small sheep intestine with a steep mountain on one side and a deep cliff on the other. If that's all they want, they won't feel dangerous.
The most important thing is that the road is very muddy and the yellow mud is strangely slippery. The horse had to be very careful not to slip into the cliff on the side.
Several people watched carefully, and several times, one of the horses of several guards could not regain their momentum, and slid away, only a few minutes away from falling into the cliff.
In this case, almost everyone is extremely careful. The expression on his face also became very serious.

Answer some readers' questions.
About Yang Lan's character. Because Yang Lan is basically Yang Lan, who is one or two years older, there can be no big changes in her personality. Besides, there can't be big changes. This time, if she wants to come back and renew her relationship with Chang Linlongzi and others, if her temperament becomes completely old, or in other words, she becomes another person, then she is still Yang Lan? Then when she comes back and continues the relationship, will those men still accept it?
Yang Lan's character is very naΓ―ve, and if she wants to see a friend of a mature heroine, please see my other book "Dream of Troubled Times", the heroine is not a fox spirit, and she can't be beyond the world. Hehe!
Second, about the male protagonists, at present, there will be no more random addition of male protagonists. I'm worried about uneven distribution now.,I won't add the male protagonist endlessly.,Asking for trouble.γ
Basically, when Yang Lan was in power, she mainly described her character, but this one is mainly plot-based. The appearance of all characters also serves the plot. It's revolving around the plot, not around the main character.
Third, NP is impossible. The men here are all full of momentum, even if they are only good to Yang Lan, they have gone through a painful struggle, how can they share her with other men? It doesn't make sense.
