The three of them walked in the mountains and wilderness like this for several days, deliberately leaving traces for the Yuan army to pursue along the way, but they were guaranteed to be unable to catch up completely.

Along the way, Meng Xiuyuan and that Yang girl chatted a lot, and the topic mainly revolved around the martial arts theories they had understood.

In order to prevent their identities from being exposed, the two of them deliberately avoided and used obscure words, but Xiao Zhao Min couldn't understand or interject, so he could only keep his mouth open and silent all the way, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the early morning of this day, the three of them set off as usual, Meng Xiuyuan held Miss Yang in his right hand and Xiao Zhao Min on his left shoulder, and rushed in the southeast direction with light skills. But I didn't expect that after walking for more than half an hour, I heard the sound of running water in my ears, and after walking for a while, a big river stopped in front of me.

The river is vast and the water is murmuring, so it is obviously not possible to wade through.

"What kind of river is this...... Meng Xiuyuan saw such a magnificent river and knew that it must be very famous, so he subconsciously asked.

"We set out from Zhongnan Mountain, ran all the way to the southeast, and carried the light gong for several days.

This is the first big river we have encountered, so if I guess correctly, it should be the main trunk of the Han River in front of us. ”

Although Miss Yang is also a housemaid who lives in the tomb of the living dead all the year round, she still has more geographical knowledge than Meng Xiu, so after a little thought, she gave the answer.

"Hanshui ......." When Meng Xiuyuan heard this name, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but fall into a moment of contemplation.

"Shaoxia, what's wrong?" Miss Yang asked curiously.

"Hmm...... It's nothing. I just thought, after this Han Shui, let's find a safe place and throw the little county lord down.

We have delayed for so many days, and the Yuan army that came to chase us here will take twice as long to return, and by then those villagers should have already fled in all directions, and there will be no trace of them. ”

After Meng Xiuyuan glanced at Xiao Zhao Min, he said to Miss Yang.

Of course, the main thought in his mind at this time was not spoken.

Although Meng Xiuyuan doesn't know the way, he still has some basic common sense.

Although I don't know exactly which section of the Han River this is, if you can go southeast from Jungnam Mountain, it must be roughly the same. After this Han River, it should be near Shiyan, not far from Wudang Mountain.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to lure those Yuan soldiers too close to Wudang, nor did he want to suddenly change his route to provide clues to the other party's suspicions, so stopping here might be the best choice.

When Miss Yang heard this, her heart was empty, and she only felt very lost. But after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he reluctantly said:

"That's right, just do what the young man wants."

Meng Xiuyuan immediately put down Xiao Zhao Min on his shoulder and said to him:

"We're going to find a boat to cross the river now, it's not appropriate to keep resisting you and letting people see it, you can go by yourself for a while.

You also heard what you said just now, and when we cross the river, we will find a safe place, and we will let you go. ”

When Zhao Min heard this, a pair of big eyes stared directly at Meng Xiuyuan, and only after a long time did he speak:

"I didn't expect that you weren't lying to me before."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled disdainfully, but did not reply.

The three of them walked along the river for a while, because they had their own thoughts, and no one spoke, and they all bowed their heads and were silent.

It wasn't until half an hour later that a thatched hut and a small ferry boat appeared on the riverside in the distance. As the three of them gradually approached, there was a faint sound of pleading and scolding.

Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly looked from afar, only to see two Yuan soldiers threatening a couple, one was pulling the woman's collar to go to the house, and the other was holding a long knife out of the sheath and on her husband's neck, so that she didn't dare to move.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Meng Xiuyuan originally wanted to step forward alone to relieve the siege, but just as he was about to pull out the hand holding Miss Yang, he thought that his true qi had just run a small half circle in the meridians in her body at this time, and if he forcibly withdrew it, it would definitely hurt her even more.

Helpless, Meng Xiuyuan had no choice but to shout "Wait here" to Xiao Zhao Min, and then took Miss Yang's hand and ran in the direction of the thatched house.

The closer the two of them got closer, the clearer they could hear in their ears, and the voices of those people came:

"Please, sir, a few more days! There are too few people who have crossed the river recently, so I can't come up with the money, it's not that I don't want to give it!

Please, let her go! ”

"Fuck you, just because you didn't pay the boat tax, I was scolded yesterday."

"Haha, exactly. I didn't expect him to have such a beautiful woman as a boatman. After we finish playing, we will sell it to the Qinglou, not only will the tax money be made up, but we can also make a profit. ”

“……”

Meng Xiuyuan and the two frowned when they heard this, and the speed under their feet became faster and faster, and it didn't take long for them to run closer.

The two of them flashed out from behind the hut, their eyes staring sharply at the two soldiers. Seeing this, the man with the knife knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly kicked the boatman down, pointing the knife at the two men. But the Yuan Bing who was pulling the woman was obsessed, and he was very excited when he saw Miss Yang, and grinned:

"Damn, today's luck is really good, and I met such a beautiful little girl again......"

It's just that before the words are finished, the person has stopped moving.

The boatman couple just saw the two Yuan soldiers who had just bullied them fall, completely oblivious to what had happened during the period.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they just knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Meng Xiuyuan and the others a little sneeringly, and thanked them again and again.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, helped the two of them up, and only said, "You prepare the boat, let's go back and pick up someone, and we will cross the river soon." ”

After speaking, he indifferently led Miss Yang back again, as if he had just passed by and slipped a corner.

Halfway back to the road, I saw Xiao Zhao Min lonely from a distance and was walking in the direction of the two of them, this meeting, Xiao Zhao Min couldn't help but say:

"You, why did you suddenly leave me there alone, and you weren't afraid that I would take the opportunity to run away?"

"What if you run away, didn't you say it, I was going to let you go.

Taking you across the river is just to see that this side of the river is deserted and densely forested, and it is not safe to throw you down.

If you run away just right, you are only to blame if you are taken by the wolf. ”

Meng Xiuyuan said nonchalantly.

Zhao Min was stunned when he heard this, and this time he believed that Meng Xiuyuan really didn't want to kill her.

The heart that had been hanging for many days finally let go, at this time, Zhao Min, who was eight or nine years old, was still a child after all, and he couldn't help crying when he was emotional.

Meng Xiuyuan ignored her, and only pulled her to continue in the direction of the ferry boat and the thatched hut.

After a while, Xiao Zhao Min, who was tired of crying, gradually suppressed his voice, and turned to staring at Meng Xiuyuan's face covered by green cloth as usual, and watched silently.

Seeing this scene, Miss Yang frowned slightly, and said:

"Little Tartar, don't waste your efforts. Even if you remember what I look like, you won't find us. ”

Xiao Zhao Min snorted when he heard this, pouted and said:

"I saw the faces of the two of you before, but I just wanted to keep in mind that after death, I will turn into a ghost and come back to take revenge on you.

Don't die now, who wants to see your stinky face again.

I just want to see more of the big brother's appearance, he is much stronger than you, and he is a true and righteous knight. ”

Miss Yang couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard this, but her personality made her reluctant to quarrel with such a child.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at Xiao Zhao Min and said:

"Don't deliberately put gold on me, don't worry, I won't regret what I say.

And I'm not a chivalrous man, I just do everything for my own pleasure and follow my own heart.

Kill your soldiers because I think they deserve to be killed, and let you go because I don't think you deserve to be killed, that's all.

It has nothing to do with whether it is chivalrous or not. ”

Xiao Zhao Min didn't seem to understand what he said, and after thinking about it for a long time, he figured out the meaning, then frowned, and said very regretfully:

"Why do you have to go against the court for someone as interesting as you......"

Meng Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, and said disdainfully:

"You should ask your Yuan court, why do you have to not give the people a way to live and force them to rebel?

If everyone really lives and works in peace and contentment, and lives happily and happily, how can there be bandits, righteous armies, and those of us who carry swords and kill people in the world? ”

When Xiao Zhao Min heard Meng Xiuyuan's remarks that were contrary to her immature three views, she first felt a little panicked in her heart, and then her face turned red in an instant, and she shouted angrily:

"You are talking nonsense, you Han rebelled and opposed our court because you can't get used to our Mongols ruling the world!"

Meng Xiuyuan was not angry when he heard this, but turned his head to look at Zhao Min, stared at her eyes and said slowly:

"Do you see that in the past thousands of years, when the Han people were the rulers, the other Han people did not rebel?

What is the difference between the Mongols ruling the world and the Han ruling the world?

Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer.

In the end, it will always be the very few people in power who oppress the poor and misery, and ride on them to make a fortune.

Have you ever thought that your Yuan court is only a hundred years old, and it has caused chaos in the world and the people are miserable, isn't it that there is something wrong with your rulers, and the mediocrity and cruelty are even worse than those dynasties in the past? ”

Meng Xiuyuan's words were not loud, but they were like spring thunder in Zhao Min's ears, which shook her brain and made her speechless for a long time.

After a while, she blushed and held back a sentence of "Crooked reason!" Nonsense! But because of the weakness of the heart, the sound is as inaudible as the chirping of mosquitoes.

Meng Xiuyuan also stopped talking, and remained silent all the way.

Until the three of them got on the ferry, Xiao Zhao Min immediately hid in the cabin alone, and didn't even dare to look at Meng Xiuyuan during the period.

And Miss Yang was also quite touched in her heart, and when she saw Zhao Min entering the cabin, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Shaoxia, why do you have to talk so much to that little tartar?"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said indifferently:

These words are all from my heart, and of course, it is also intentional to say them to the little county lord.

The Yuan court has not exhausted its qi, and it will take some time to resist the Yuan.

The little county lord's father, the king of Ruyang, was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and he loved this daughter very much.

Therefore, the words and deeds of this little county lord actually have a wide impact.

As long as she can listen to half of what I say today, then the world may have fewer innocent deaths in the future. ”
