Chapter 67: The Envoy Banquet

"Eh, big brother, are you going into the city?"

Yuan Xiaoyu, who was brought to the capital by Yan Yan, turned blindly on the street, scolded Yan Yan thousands of times in his heart, left her here, and actually stole the only bit of silver she brought out.

It had taken her a long time to convince herself to accept the fact that she was going to sleep on the streets today, but suddenly her eyes lit up, and she spotted a cart parked on the side of the road and a horse that seemed to be very gentle.

She saw that the coachman was untying the rope, so she hurriedly leaned over and asked if she really wanted to enter the city, maybe she could give her a ride, and besides, the coachman's little brother looked very friendly.

"Girl, are you going into town?"

She nodded like garlic.

The eldest brother of the coachman thought for a moment, and wondered, "I don't go into the city, but I can take you for a while, do you see if you are happy?" ”

"Gladly! Great, big brother, you're such a great person! She was very excited, but when she thought that she had no money on her, she lowered her face and looked at him pitifully, "However, I was separated from my family and didn't have any silver on me..."

"It's okay, it's just on the way, it's not safe for you to be alone alone, I'll put you in a tea house closer to the city, and the rest of the way is up to you."

Yuan Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, and got on the board car with a jump, as if he was afraid that people would regret it, "Thank you, big brother, then let's go"

"Okay, sit down," the coachman smiled and shook his head, and likewise jumped on the cart and sat down, driving the reins and shouting "Drive", and the simple carriage slowly moved forward.

"Big brother, my name is Yuan Xiaoyu, what's your name? Where are you from? ”

"Xu Shaobai, the person of the iris"

Yuan Xiaoyu let out an "oh", and continued to ask, "What does that young white brother do?" Why did you come to Xinjiang? ”

"I, who live in the woods and live by hunting all year round, will pull the prey I have caught to sell in Xinjiang every month, where there are many people from other places to earn food money."

"Brother Shaobai, are you married? What other relatives are there at home? ”

Xu Shaobai smiled helplessly, "My father and mother died early, and I am the only one in the family, and I have not yet married."

Hearing that the other party's parents were deceased, Yuan Xiaoyu felt very sorry, "I'm sorry." Actually, you think quite openly, although your father and mother are gone, as long as you live well, they will be happy for you in the spirit of heaven, and they will not disappoint them to give you life to come to this world."

Xu Shaobai smiled, and the rope he was holding tightened, "It's the first time I've heard someone comfort me like this." Look at which family's daughter you should be dressed in, why do you come to Xinjiang alone? Most of the people here are from *, no more careful than in the city, you have to be a girl's family."

As soon as he talked about this, Yuan Xiaoyu was full of anger, this Xu Shaobai didn't look like a bad person, so he poured out his bitterness and told Xu Shaobai about Yan Yu's evil deeds to her.

Yuan Xiaoyu poured out his tragic experience vividly, and unconsciously went out of the Xinjiang capital, and the road was inevitably a little uneven, and Yuan Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the board car, was shaken a little dizzy.

Xu Shaobai saw that her face was not very good, so he asked her if she wanted to stop and rest, but she insisted that it was okay and insisted on continuing to hurry.

"Girl, are you really okay?" Xu Shaobai still pulled the rope and stopped.

Yuan Xiaoyu jumped out of the carriage and squatted aside, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little dizzy, it should be fine after a while"

"I have water, but I've drunk it, would you like to drink some if you don't mind?" Xu Shaobai tore off the water bag hanging from the saddle and walked over and handed it to her.

She raised her slightly pale little face, took the water bag and smiled sweetly, "Thank you"

Xu Shaobai also responded with a smile, but soon the smile froze on his face, frowning at the bandit-like people who surrounded them.

"Hey, what do you see, obediently take out the silver, and let you go" The leader was a rough man with a full bearded face, holding a machete on his shoulder, and raising his chin arrogantly.

Yuan Xiaoyu drank a sip of water, felt a little better, stood up and stuffed the water bag on Xu Shaobai's body, and looked the bandit leader up and down, "Uncle, who are you?" ”

"You doll is blind? Can't you see that we are bandits? Robbery! He shook the machete in his hand to prove his identity.

Xu Shaobai secretly pulled her over and persuaded her not to be reckless, but she still had this confidence in dealing with these little minions, so she patted him on the shoulder to reassure him, "This is the ration you got with great difficulty, you can't just cheap them"

"Yo, girl, it seems that we have to be rough"

Yuan Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and began to move his fingers, "Why should other people's hard-earned money be given to you?" I don't work with my own hands and feet, but I use it to rob the house and rob others of the fruits of labor, today I will teach you for your father and mother, what is the way of life"

"Girl..." Xu Shaobai still wanted to persuade, but Yuan Xiaoyu had already rushed forward and mingled with those who claimed to be bandits.

Within a moment, the "Bang Dang" machete fell to the ground, and several bandits had colorful faces on their faces, kneeling in front of her with crying faces, begging for mercy without being aggrieved, "Grandma, we were wrong, you are too heavy, look at us and beat us"

"You are still robbing money like this, the knife has not been sharpened, it is good not to be robbed, let you go today, and make money with your own hands in the future, do you know? Don't keep trying to grab someone else's pocket, it's good that you're running into me this time, otherwise I'll just click you."

"Yes yes yes we got it"

"Then take the guy and leave, don't you think you have enough fighting?"

"No, no, that's enough, let's go" picked up the blunt knife on the ground, stumbled and almost tripped, and ran into the distance in three steps.

Xu Shaobai gave a heartfelt thumbs up, and praised repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to have this ability, it seems that I still underestimate you."

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm more than enough to deal with them, so let's move on"

"Are you alright?"

She jumped a few times, "It's okay"

"Then let's get in the car" made a gesture of please.

"Hehe, you don't look like a child who grew up in the mountains at all"

The carriage was on the road again, and Xu Shaobai couldn't help asking, "What is that like?" ”

"It doesn't feel like it to me anyway"

Yan Yu, who returned to the festival embassy, immediately received a summons from the emperor, and tonight he specially set up a banquet to entertain and apologize for the inconsiderate manners, in fact, he didn't pay attention to this banquet at all, and Sang Yu didn't care about his attitude.

Originally, he planned to turn Baijia Village into his own territory, and specially brought exotic beauties to offer, but now he seems to have another plan, but whether it can be realized or not, he needs to go in person.

Because the palace held a banquet, it was a little more lively than usual, there were a few more lanterns than usual, and the civil and military officials and concubines who should have come were all seated, and the whole scene except for the emperor was the future of the city lord of Huaiyan City.

Xiao Nuo didn't see Sister Chu at this time, but saw the third brother sitting alone at the table, not eating or drinking, just sitting upright, curious, and sat down.

"Third brother, where is the first sister? Why didn't you come? Are you arguing again? ”

Quarrel? He wished it was a quarrel rather than a lifeless bed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Nuo took him as a default, and was immediately dissatisfied, "Is it because of that He Qiaoyu?" Third brother, do you really like her? If not, why did you marry her in the first place? Now it's hurting you and Sister Chu."

In other words, he had forgotten He Qiaoyu, if it wasn't for Xiao Nuo mentioning it, he would have almost forgotten that there was a concubine in the house.

"Your third sister-in-law is unwell and is recuperating in the house"

I'm not feeling well again! Excuse! Xiao Nuo didn't believe it, "Third brother, you tell the truth, did you marry Sister Chu because of the marriage of the first emperor or did you really want to marry?" ”

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is, if it's just the marriage of the emperor, there is no relationship between you, marriage is just a ceremony, just like you bought an object and put it at home."

"But if you really want to marry her, then you are ready to stay with her for the rest of your life, you really want to be with her forever, so that she belongs to you alone, this is like you have something that you really want to treasure and not share with others."

He pondered, as if considering what Arnold had said, whether he belonged to the former or the latter.

Seeing that he didn't look enlightened, Xiao Nuo helped his forehead, "Third brother, you are usually such a smart person, why are you confused about emotional matters?" ”

Yuan Xiaoyu dragged her heavy body and limped forward, the sweat on her little face soaked her bangs, and she gritted her teeth and scolded her for being such a culprit thousands of times, as if this was the only way to make her feel happy.

The green figure swayed along the street at dusk, and Yuan Qihao, who had been looking for a long time, finally let out a long breath from another street, and looked at the figure swaying and limping and almost falling, and quickly ran over.

Just holding the person up, Yuan Qihao breathed a sigh of relief again, and what he opened his mouth was not blame, but concerned about what happened to her, how could she be like this?

Yuan Xiaoyu sniffed, and suddenly felt very aggrieved, hugging the big tree of Yuan Qihao tightly, crying, "Woo, ah, ah, I was tied to the Xinjiang capital and was almost sold"
