Zhou Budo waited in the front hall of the post station for half an hour, and Zeng Yijian came with an arrow wiping his sweat.

Zhou Budo got up and stepped forward to salute, and complimented: "General Zeng got up in the morning to practice martial arts, and he continued to improve himself, and the subordinate officials really admired him." ”

Zeng Yijian laughed a few times: "Those who practice martial arts dare not slack off a little." He beckoned him to sit down, sat down himself, took a soft silk scarf, and carefully wiped the well-made hard bow.

Zhou Budo leaned forward, looked up and down, and said quite expertly: "The pull of this bow is no less than three stones. ”

"Three stones and six buckets." Zeng Yijian said proudly. He has always been conceited, thinking that his strength and archery skills are comparable to that of "Flying General" Li Guang. It's just that he was born at the wrong time, and he can't display his talents.

"General's divine powers." Zhou Budo praised with a smile on his face.

Zeng Yijian also responded with a smile: "The county order is falsely praised." "I wondered in my heart why this county order came here early in the morning. So I couldn't help asking: "The county order came early in the morning, what happened?" ”

Zhou Budo remembered the matter at this time, and said with a solemn expression: "Qin Ruoyun ran away and escaped from prison." ”

"Who is Qin Ruoyun, she ran away? Why did you run away? Zeng Yijian stopped what he was doing and asked with a blank expression.

"Qin Ruoyun, a suspected murderer of his father." Zhou Budo explained. He didn't expect what he had just said to Zeng Yijian yesterday, and only one night later, he completely forgot about it.

"Father, what do you have to do with me at this time." Zeng Yijian didn't understand even more, frowned, and continued to wipe the hard bow.

Zhou Budo became more and more embarrassed.

Zeng Yijian is a forbidden military captain, and he is a close confidant of Huo Mansion, he is arrogant on weekdays, and ordinary officials are not in his eyes, Zhou Budo is not afraid of this kind of county order of 600 stones, and he is usually too lazy to take care of it. He came here just to track down Chun Yuji, and he didn't take it to heart at all about what he was talking about yesterday. Then the postman brought breakfast, and began to eat it himself.

Zhou Budo was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't dare to offend the people of Huo Mansion, so he had to be patient and tell Qin Mengyun about the resurrection of the dead, the death case of the Qin family's manor, and the ins and outs of Chun Yu's involvement.

Zeng Yijian suddenly realized, and was suspicious: "Although Chun Yuji is a border military medical officer, he is only a scholar, he dares to rob the prison?" ”

"Didn't you say he killed someone in Shuofang? If he dares to kill, won't he dare to rob the prison? Zhou Budo said angrily.

Zeng didn't think it was angry when he fell with an arrow. He only cared about Chun Yuji's whereabouts, and didn't care about the murder of the Qin family's manor, so he laughed a few times.

Zhou Budo said: "Qin Ruoyun must have been robbed by him, and there is a young woman named Qihua who came with Chun Yuji. ”

Zeng Yijian stuffed the steamed cake into his mouth, took a silk towel and wiped his hands, and said vaguely while chewing: "I know this, Qihua was originally the maid of the Shuofang County Guard. Where will Chun Yu go with Qin Ruoyun? ”

Zhou Budo said: "I have sent someone to the Qin family manor to search. However, they must have fled from this place, and I sent the county government to guard the city pass and the intersection, and if they found it, they would be arrested. ”

Zeng Yijian said perfunctorily: "Very good, very good." ”

Zhou Budo saw that he was careless and felt bored, so he gave up his hand. Before he was about to go out, Zeng Yijian beckoned him to come back and advised: "You go and tell your subordinates not to hurt Chun Yuji and that Qihua." ”

Zhou Budo nodded in agreement, his heart was really angry, and when he got to the street, he sighed angrily and muttered, "What's the matter." ”

He originally instructed the officials to prepare the horses and prepare to go straight to the Qin family's manor, but at this time, he was not in the mood, and when he saw the officials leading the horses, he thought about it, raised his hand, and said, "Go home." ”

The post station is not far from the county government, and Zhou Budo walked in front with his hands in his hands, his face gloomy, and the official led the horse to follow behind.

There were people coming and going on the street, and there were trappers patrolling the streets who stepped forward to salute, and he nodded casually, and the scene just now appeared in front of him, and a feeling of humiliation haunted his heart.

At this time, there was a sudden chaos on the street, and he stopped to look, and it turned out that there were two people fighting in the street. Pedestrians avoided him, and after a while, the two of them writhed and rolled over him, and he stood still.

The two people who were fighting wondered why this person didn't get out of the way, and when they looked up, they found that it was the county commander standing in front of them, and they hurriedly let go, and they didn't care about being covered in dust, and knelt on the ground together to beg for mercy.

Zhou Budo was already depressed in his heart, but at this time, his face sank, his brows were tightened, and he looked at the two people with disgust.

The two were even more frightened, crying and begging for mercy.

The arresters patrolling the street rushed over, and when they saw these two people rushing into the county order, they immediately shook their spirits, shouted and scolded, and kicked a few more times, and they were about to escort these two people away.

Zhou Budo's heart suddenly moved, thinking that these two people were still fighting bravely just now, and in the blink of an eye, they bent their knees and begged for mercy. Just like himself, he used to listen to orders, but now he is commanding. It can be seen that the so-called honor and disgrace are not normal, but because of people and things, gains and losses, if you look down, it doesn't matter. After thinking about it like this, he was relieved, so he smiled and signaled the catcher to leave this matter alone.

He said to the two of them with a pleasant face, "Let's go." ”

The two couldn't believe it, and when they looked up, the county magistrate still looked kind, so they got up and retreated while making a move, and ran away.

Zhou Budo looked at the backs of the two, babbling and humming a minor tune as he walked.

Chun Yuji, Qihua and Ruoyun were running along the Great Wall of Qin to Beidi County at this time. In the mountains, there is a path that can be walked by the laborers who built the Great Wall in the past, but it is mostly covered by shrubs, and there are also collapsed walls blocking the road from time to time.

Chun Yuji explored the road in front, and the three of them stopped walking, and they were also tired and out of breath, so they rested under a city wall.

In the middle of August, the heat of the day had not yet dissipated, and Chun Yuji's face was covered with sweat. He took out the water bladder and raised his neck and grunted for a while before he felt refreshed.

Qihua looked funny, and said to Ruoyun: "What do you look like when Brother Chunyu drinks water, does it look like an old cow drinking water?" ”

Ruoyun thought seriously for a while and said, "Horses, cows, donkeys, drinking water are all with their heads down. Once a little squirrel came to my window to ask for water, and when I fed it, it drank with its head tilted up. ”

"Little squirrel?" Qihua was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down for a while, thinking of the image of the little squirrel, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, out of control, hugging Ruoyun and laughing back and forth.

Chun Yuji dared to provoke them, so he pretended not to hear what they said, and looked around casually, and suddenly found that there was a group of people on the top of the opposite mountain who were also looking around, as if searching for something, and hurriedly beckoned Qihua and Ruoyun to squat.

Qihua was puzzled, and pointed ahead with a few fingers. When she looked around, she realized that there was a person in the crowd carrying a big bow and whispered, "That person seems to have an arrow." ”

Chun Yuji looked nervous and said, "It must be tracking us." ”

Qihua glanced at Ruoyun and motioned for Chun Yuji to speak softly, don't scare the little girl.

Chun Yu nodded in agreement and moved some distance.

Qihua also followed, and said worriedly: "Zeng Yijian is targeting us." Ruoyun is weak and can't walk many mountain roads. ”

Chun Yu turned around and looked at Ruoyun. Ruoyun was really tired from walking, she sat cross-legged on the grass, leaning against the trunk of the tree, her eyes slightly closed, and she was already asleep. She seemed to dream of something, her long eyelashes twitched from time to time, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Chun Yuji stared at the small serene and peaceful face, thinking that such a simple and weak little girl had suffered so much, and couldn't help but feel sad, and it took a long time to withdraw her gaze.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The county government's arresters must also be searching for Ruoyun everywhere, so Ruoyun must leave the Yangzhou realm quickly. ”

Qihua nodded and said, "Can't let them catch Ruoyun." ”

Chun Yu leaned out a few times and looked at the top of the mountain in front of him, and Zeng Yijian's group was still there.

He shook his head helplessly, thought for a while, and said to Hua, "Let's go separately." Take Ruoyun to the northland, and I will lead them away. It's all barren mountains and mountains, and it's easy for me to get out by myself. When I get rid of these people, I will go to you quickly. ”

Qi Hua's expression instantly became serious, and he said in a resolute tone: "No, it's too dangerous." I'll go and lead them away, and you will take Ruoyun away. ”

Chun Yu was in a hurry, and his voice became louder: "Zeng Yijian is looking for me." ”

Qihua hurriedly shushed and pointed to Ruoyun not far away.

Chun Yu immediately came to his senses, turned around and looked, and said in a low voice: "It was I who killed the Huofu messenger, and it was me who they were looking for with an arrow, and you can't lure these people away." You don't have to worry about me, I heard them talking, Pham Minh Huu told them to follow me, but not to hurt me, so I am not in any danger. Besides, again—"

He snorted for a while before he continued: "Besides, Ruoyun is a little girl, and it is inconvenient to follow me." ”

Qi Hua smiled when he heard this, looked at him and joked: "It's convenient for me to be a big girl to follow you, right." ”

Chun Yu's face flushed slightly.

Qihua originally wanted to tease a few words, but when he saw him so embarrassed, he stopped laughing.

She calmed down and thought about it, and felt that what Chun Yu said was still reasonable, and it was inconvenient to go together, so she said, "It's okay, I'll take Ruoyun to the Northland." You must be careful, get rid of them, come over quickly, and don't delay the trip to Chang'an. ”

Chun Yu nodded: "We have been delayed here for a long time. ”

Its glory has awakened Ruoyun in the past. Chun Yu made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, signaling them to hide, stood up by himself, and climbed the broken wall to the Great Wall.

He turned back to look for Qi Hua and Ruoyun, and saw Ruoyun looking up at him for a while, arguing with her Hua for a while, and Qi Hua grabbed her arm tightly, as if to persuade her.

Chun Yu smiled, his face bright, stretched out his hand to them slightly, turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.
