Gu Mingzhu was woken up by the bumps along the way.

When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black in front of her, and as soon as her body moved, she immediately found that her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and her eyes were covered with black cloths.

Very good!

Gu Mingzhu gritted his teeth secretly, what he glimpsed in his memory was the appearance of Zhou Yan at the end, his feet poked forward, and he touched an object, before he could identify it, suddenly the sky swirled around and collided, and the whole person fainted.

I don't know how long it took to wake up, and I was helpless when I woke up.

The wind whistled in the night, and the strip of cloth was torn off his mouth, and a piece of bread came up.

Gu Mingzhu didn't hesitate to bite and eat.

The man snorted: "I know the times." ”

I don't see the sun and the moon and the stars, and I don't know how long I have gone.

Until one morning, Gu Mingzhu found that there was a lively sound around him, and he could vaguely distinguish the market hawking.

After walking so far, finally making it to the city?

Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Yan were loosened from the ropes on their feet, the strips of cloth were torn off, and the black cover on their eyes was also removed.

As soon as he saw the light, Gu Mingzhu raised his hand and squinted, and then a strange man's face appeared in front of him.

He was wearing a strong suit and a knife, smiling a little arrogantly, and said to Zhou Yan: "Third princess, welcome home." ”

The two of them were in a bustling market, surrounded by guards.

Zhou Yan was angry and unwilling to stare at him: "Just arrest me, why do you want to implicate innocent people to come in?" ”

"The friends of the third princess always give unexpected surprises, and I had to do this just in case." The big man smiled, and his eyes swept over Gu Mingzhu casually: "If the princess is obedient and obedient from the beginning, we will not cross thousands of miles." ”

He beckoned, and immediately someone stepped forward: "Send the two of them to the mansion to take care of them, if they run away again this time, you won't live." ”

"Yes!"

Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Yan were locked in a courtyard, where there were guards on the third floor and the outer three floors.

Gu Mingzhu moved his hands and feet, glanced out, and looked around.

It seems that these people are only restricting their freedom, and they are not being treated harshly in terms of food and housing.

She picked up a fruit, looked at Zhou Yan, for a moment, and said, "The third princess of Qi Kingdom? ”

Zhou Yan bit his lip: "I never wanted to involve you, I ...... I ......"

Gu Mingzhu thought quietly for a while, and said, "I am innocently implicated by you now, you should always let me know the cause and effect of the matter." ”

Zhou Yan sat down in front of her, looking embarrassed, as if he felt embarrassed: "I...... My mother is a servant, the family is weak, I have not been favored since I was a child, more than a month ago, the northwest of the Li country changed the commander, the Qi country invaded, my brother was captured, in order to change my brother back, someone proposed to use me to make peace, and sent tens of millions of cattle and sheep to show sincerity. ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at her: "So you ran away?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, his eyes were slightly red: "No, it was the concubine who fought for me, but she was beaten into the cold palace and killed in the palace, I discovered the secret of King Kecha, and I fled in fear, and met Wu Yue at the border." ”

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but hold his forehead speechless, and for a moment, he couldn't help but say: "This is really a person sitting at home, and disaster is smashed from the sky......"

From the southeast to the Qi country, it will take at least seven or eight days, Xu Jue can't find her, and he will definitely go through the twelve states in the southeast.

Gu Mingzhu pondered quietly and looked up at the person in front of him: "So they arrested you back and wanted you to go and kiss?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, she always had an inexplicable well-behaved appearance in front of Gu Mingzhu.

Zhou Yan said: "When I am ready, you will send me there." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "When?" ”

"July 13."

Gu Mingzhu looked at the strict guard outside the house, thinking about the southeast thousands of miles away, according to her current situation, she couldn't get out of here at all, so she had to say: "The matter has come to this, one step at a time, if you can find an opportunity, it is better, if you can't find an opportunity, then wait until July when you arrive at the country, there is a chance." ”

Seven months...... Gu Mingzhu sighed faintly in his heart.

Zhou Yan felt sorry for her, after all, Gu Mingzhu had helped her, but now she was in trouble because of herself, so she nodded and said, "I listen to you." ”

Fortunately, in this mansion, except for the restricted movement, the other treatment is not bad, and even gave Zhou Yan a waiting ring.

This went on for almost a month.

Zhou Yan held her cheeks, bored with flowers, and she occasionally looked up at the person who was reading a book on the side.

"Sister Gu." Zhou Yan called her and said, "Are you very familiar with Wu Yue?" ”

Gu Mingzhu turned a page of the book and said, "We grew up together since childhood. ”

Zhou Yan said again: "Then what kind of girl do you think he will like?" ”

Gu Mingzhu stared at him for a moment, and looked up to meet Zhou Yan's sincere gaze.

This little girl is very persevering! was reprimanded by Wu Yue so bluntly, but he still had an idea.

She smiled: "Ah Yue has a hearty temperament, and she is the young master of the Wu family, although she is not as good as the princes and nobles, but she is also the object of many girls in Gusu." ”

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes fell on the book, thought for a while, and said, "If you want to go to the Li Kingdom, then you will be able to cut off the love of those children." ”

Zhou Yan's face turned white, and he whispered, "I know......"

Gu Mingzhu shook his head lightly and stopped talking.

Since you have decided to stay until July, you can't stay in this courtyard all the time, and if you continue like this, you will drive people crazy sooner or later.

Two days later, Zhou Yan took the initiative to find the big man who brought the two back that day, and after repeatedly promising that they would never run away again, the two got the opportunity to leave the house.

Of course, this exit is also accompanied by guards.

Zhou Yan took a very gentle name, but he grew up on the back of a real horse, and he heard that Gu Mingzhu liked horse racing, so he took people to play on the grassland.

The wind in February was still biting cold, Gu Mingzhu pulled the reins and looked at the endless grassland.

She said, "Let's have a game?" ”

Zhou Yan stepped on a white horse, and a string of bells was tied around the horse's neck, which would jingle as soon as the horse ran.

When she heard Gu Mingzhu's words, her expression was a little arrogant, and she said, "Sister Gu, I may not be as good as you in other things, but I won't lose in horse racing." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Yes...... A bet? ”

"Then Ah Yan will ask Sister Gu for a lottery, if I win, you can teach me how to learn words when I go back."

"Good!"

The girls spread their feet on the grassland, and the wind and horses were fierce, as if everything was far away, and only the sound of the wind and the pulse remained in the heavens and the earth.

Zhou Yan looked back at Gu Mingzhu, who had fallen for a short time, and the girl's expression was flying: "Sister Gu, it seems that you are the one who is the teacher!" Drive! Drive! ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and fought hard to chase the horse: "It is worthy of growing up on horseback, it seems that I have to teach you this word." ”

"My sister is a good talker."

We have reached the end of the race, and the guards will definitely come up to chase after them.

The two stopped their horses, turned around and let the horses roam, Zhou Yan smiled on his face: "There is nothing worth nostalgia here, only this vast and boundless place, which can be regarded as a comfort in my heart." ”

Gu Mingzhu stood quietly, but she was secretly strange in her heart.

When she was in Dangzhou, she always felt that Zhou Yan was the kind of little girl who loved to cry, but since she arrived here, the girl's mind has been lively, and she also has her own thoughts and opinions.

Such a bright and flying Zhou Yan and Wu Yue seem to be carved out of the same mold.

He wouldn't like it.

When they were about to leave the grassland, a few people came by on horseback in the distance, and as soon as they saw the two of them, they immediately stepped forward, and more than a dozen people stopped in front of them.

The young boy was dressed in a strong suit, holding a horsewhip, and his smile was a little mocking: "Yo, isn't this our noble third princess, come here to race horses?" ”

Zhou Yan's face was slightly gloomy: "Zhou Yuanshu! ”

Zhou Yuanshu said: "Tsk, it's rare that Her Royal Highness the Princess still remembers my name, it's an honor, a match?" ”

"Not interested."

"Yo, scared?" A young boy on the side accosted: "Afraid of losing? ”

Gu Mingzhu stroked the horse's hair, looked at the child-like agitation, and did not make a sound.

Zhou Yan: "I'll be afraid of you?" ”

Zhou Yuanshu said: "Then a game? If you lose, you will make me a month, if I lose, I will be a follower for you for a month, how about it? ”

Zhou Yan snorted, his face full of disdain: "You will be my follower?" You don't ask me if I want to. ”

"Oh? Then you don't want to? ”

"Compare to compare!"

Zhou Yan turned his horse's head and said to Gu Mingzhu: "Sister, you wait here, I will compete with her." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled at her.

The two of them ran back again.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the figure in the distance, the victory and defeat of this game were very obvious, and Zhou Yan opened up the distance at the beginning.

She was looking at her sex, and suddenly someone next to her spoke: "The girl looks good, is she the sister recognized by the third princess?" ”

Gu Mingzhu glanced at it, it was a man in his twenties, he looked good, he was dressed in gold and silver, and he was described in one word all over his body: local luxury.

Like the son of a wealthy businessman who got rich overnight.

When the man saw her coming, he snickered in his heart and stepped forward: "The girl also races horses?" Do you want us to have a game? ”

Gu Mingzhu said lightly: "I'm not interested." ”

If you're not interested, you're going to race horses?

The man looked at the gentle face of Yanyu Jiangnan, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "I'm not interested...... Is it looking down on me? Still afraid of losing? ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and did not answer.

"Yo, this girl's temper is quite big, little marquis, you don't have a good face." Someone laughed.

The man's face was a little embarrassed to be ignored, and his voice sank: "Compare? ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart moved, and she looked up.

Little Marquis?

The little marquis of Qi country?

Yes, although Zhou Yan is not favored, she is a real princess, and the people around her will naturally not be general.

It's just that the little marquis of Qi is the appearance of this hanger?

Gu Mingzhu shook his head, but still said, "I'm not interested." ”

The man said, "In this way, I let you run five numbers first, how about it?" ”

Gu Mingzhu laughed: "You let me count five?" She paused and continued, "What if you lose?" ”

The man laughed: "Will I lose?" ”

Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "That's not comparable." ”

The man looked at the two in the distance and said with a smile: "Okay, let's also set a lottery, if I lose, let you send it for a month, if you lose and be my concubine?" ”

The wind on the prairie was strong, blowing her dress.

The girl's voice dissipated with the wind: "It's not fair. ”

"Unfair?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "I only have you for a month if I win, but I want to be your concubine if I lose, I don't lack you as an envoy, and there is a little girl in the garden to do some daily things." ”

The man frowned: "Then what do you want?" ”

Gu Mingzhu tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at him and said: "Six months, these six months in Qi State, you have to take care of my affairs everywhere, you can't say two if I say one, how about it?" ”

"Ho! What a big breath! The man looked at her: "You actually want me to obey you?" ”

Gu Mingzhu retracted his gaze and said lightly: "If you don't want to, forget it." ”

The people behind him seemed to see the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and immediately coaxed: "Master Lei Xiaohou, whether you can hold the beauty depends on whether you have the courage to gamble......

"What the hell, you can still lose to a girl's family?"

"This girl looks different from our Qi women, she must be interesting, carry it back to your house, and she can have fun every day."

Lei Jun has developed limbs and a simple mind, and no matter how excited the people around him are, he doesn't want to lose face, so he said: "Okay, I'll bet with you." ”

Gu Mingzhu raised his right palm: "We high-five for an oath!" ”

Zhou Yan turned around, and saw that it was hazy in the distance, Lei Jun was leaning on Gu Mingzhu's side, remembering his usual style of spending time drinking, his heart was angry, and he heard the person who caught up next to him shouting: "Zhou Yan!" ”

Before Zhou Yan could react, he was suddenly pounced, and the two rolled down the grassland slope, but it was no big deal, Zhou Yuanshu's face was slightly gloomy: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Yan pushed him away and wanted to run up the slope, but he was pulled back, and Zhou Yuanshu's face was ugly: "You don't want to stay with me like that?" ”

Zhou Yan was pulled by him so that his wrist hurt, and he said angrily: "Zhou Yuanshu, you let go of me, you hurt me!" ”

Zhou Yuanshu slowly let go of her, pursed his lips after a moment and said, "You lost!" Come to my house tomorrow. ”

He paused and continued, "Be a maid for me." ”

Zhou Yan ignored him, really worried that Lei Jun would do something bad to Gu Mingzhu, so he climbed uphill and walked back.

Behind him, Zhou Yuanshu led the horse and chased after her, seeing that her eyes had been falling on the front, he was implicitly worried, so he said, "Are you worried about her?" ”

"What's your business!" Zhou Yan didn't have a good airway.

Zhou Yuanshu was choked by her and was silent.

After the two of them high-fived in the distance, Gu Mingzhu said: "But just horse racing, it's not interesting, I heard that Qi is a horse nation, and riding and shooting are a must, I think that the little marquis must also be a leader, how about we compare riding and shooting?" ”

Lei Jun didn't care and said, "Why not." ”

Gu Mingzhu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Little Hou Ye is really a cheerful person, I know that there is a kind of bird in Qi Country that has many birds. It is more difficult to shoot than ordinary aerial birds, and it is also more testing of archery skills, which is your favorite use when riding and shooting. ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Lei Jun and said, "Order someone to release many interesting birds on the spot, in a stick of incense, who hunts more and who wins, how?" ”

Her expression was so calm that Lei Jun couldn't help but be suspicious.

But Gu Mingzhu was wearing a turquoise lotus leaf skirt, wrapped in a snow-white cloak, and her head was full of pearls.

Even if she really knows how to ride and shoot, can she compare to herself?

Lei Jun was instantly full of confidence: "Okay! Just compare it! ”
