Three days ago, Ji Ye and Qu Ling, who pretended to be Fang Yu and the Holy Maiden, went out of the city from the south, and Ji Ye was recognized by the people of Diancang, and naturally told Fang Yun after he returned, so it was impossible to know how Fang Yu got out of the city, and even whether he was still in the city.

After that, even if there are pursuers out of the city to inspect, they will only focus on a few towns in the south, and if they increase the search and block the entry and exit of various towns in all directions, it will be impossible to attack the villages around Shangjing.

So Fang Yu and the others agreed to meet in a village north of Shangjing after leaving the city, which was also a detailed discussion and decision of several people.

Ji Ye endured the pain and bumps and walked north for two hours, and came to the village as shown on the map, but only Jiang Bo was waiting for him in the village.

Jiang Bo was extremely relieved and excited, and bluntly said that he was waiting here, and he always believed that Brother Ji would come here as agreed.

He led Ji Ye to a more remote mountain villa, where Fang Yu and the others were among them.

Fang Yu saw that Ji Ye finally came, the big stone in his heart fell, he waited hard for a day at first, and then Zhang Xuening persuaded him that the two of them might be captured on the spot in Nancheng, so that if the confession was exposed, the agreed place would be extremely unsafe, and after several trade-offs, it would be transferred to the current Zhuangzi, and Jiang Bo would wait in the original place.

Ji Ye and a few people talked about the deeds of Nancheng and the pursuit of the two masters in the palace, but they didn't mention that Li Ruolin came to the rescue.

Fang Yu was secretly frightened after hearing this, in this case, the places around the vicinity were not absolutely safe, and several people immediately set off to the southwest, the target was the first city on the southwest border of the Snow Country, Anzhou.

Zhang Xuening said that the governor of Anzhou and neighboring states had been in contact with her father before his death, and he had met her once or twice a few years ago and knew her face.

Along the way, the six people were divided into two carriages, Fang Yu Ji sat in the same carriage at night, and Zhang Xuening sat with Lin Xingyi.

After half a month of travel, the group arrived in Anzhou.

Ji Ye's external injuries are almost healed, but the internal injuries still need to be recovered for a while.

Before he could get acquainted with settling in the city, Fang Yu set up a larger carriage and called out to last season night and the second daughter to set off again. He didn't worry that the holy maiden and the two servants of the Zhang family were waiting in the city, so he took Lin Xing with him every step of the way.

One day resting by the stream, Ji Ye asked Fang Yu suspiciously: "Where is this going?" ”

Fang Yu said: "Zhang Xuening told me when he was still in Beijing, saying that his father told her before he died that in addition to exchanging silver money for family property in various cities and states in the Snow Country, there is also a heavy gift under the ancestral hall of his Zhang family's ancestral home in the northwest of Anzhou, and she must go to get it, and this trip is to go to his Zhang family's ancestral ancestral hall." ”

"And a big gift? I really can't figure it out, the silver left by the old man of the Zhang family is so rich, what can be the relics that he can mention on his deathbed, is it the lost jade seal? Ji Ye joked.

Fang Yu also smiled and said: "Yes, I have been thinking about this for a while, but Zhang Yuheng died too suddenly, and the promised help that day could not be realized." ”

He changed a worried look and continued: "Although the silver exchanged for those family properties of his Zhang family in Zhang Xuening's hands looks heavy, it is unsightly to use it to achieve great things. So I put all my hope on this trip, if his father's last relic is some useless object, it will be difficult to resist it. ”

Useless objects? The relationship between the master of the Zhang family and Zhang Xuening's father and daughter is really caring, and Zhang Xuening's future thoughts must be indispensable, if the relics left behind are not extremely helpful to the success, they should also be extremely precious in Zhang Xuening's heart, how useless, Ji Ye couldn't help but think.

While speaking, Zhang Xuening approached behind her, and the two heard her footsteps, so they naturally changed the topic.

Zhang Xuening squatted beside Fang Yu, stared at him and asked, "Brother Fang Yu, how many days do we have to arrive?" ”

Since the death of her father, her dependence and attachment to Fang Yu have been even more exposed, although she has money that even the business elite can hardly reach, but she was never born to participate in it, just a little woman who seeks support after losing her father.

Fang Yu imperceptibly moved some distance from her, and said calmly, "It's about one day away." Then he got up and walked away.

Obviously, before approaching, he was still talking and laughing with Brother Ji, Zhang Xuening thought to herself. Feeling Fang Yu's coldness, she couldn't hide the loss on her face.

Since the day of Zhang Yuheng's death, Ji Ye has returned to her previous indifference to Zhang Xuening, and Zhang Xuening vaguely mentioned that her father seemed to have a back hand that day, which made Fang Yu's attitude towards her change for a while.

After going out of Beijing, Zhang Xuening said that this back hand was just going to the ancestral shrine to get things, Fang Yu was very disappointed, but no matter what, he also went with a glimmer of hope, but he didn't hide his indifference to her.

The next day in the middle of the night, a group of people rushed to the vicinity shown on the map, only because the Zhang family's old house is too remote, and even there is no trace, it is a desolate and uninhabited place, and several people have worked hard to find the ancestral shrine.

But where can I still recognize this as an ancestral hall, the dilapidated and withered front hall is clear at a glance, surrounded by rotten wood and tiles, and only in the backyard is a hut that can be regarded as a 'building', which has not been repaired for thirty or fifty years.

Fang Yu's heart was desperate, he had come with expectations, but who would have thought that the ancestral ancestral hall of the Zhang family, which was rich in the world, would be so simple and poor, and even integrated with this barren mountain and wilderness.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and an indescribable shame turned into a kind of shame in his heart, and he just wanted to turn around and leave.

How can such a place be helped, just by relying on this loess? I should have known a long time ago that if I want to use the hands of others to reach the sky, wouldn't it be whimsical and ridiculous?

Fang Yu leaned weakly on the edge of the ruins, looking up, the dark clouds in the air seemed to be mocking and mocking.

Zhang Xuening was also dumbfounded, his father had never mentioned this place to her, but she never thought that what her father's last words repeatedly told her was to bring her to this dilapidated place.

The journey of several days was in vain, especially when she saw Fang Yu's disappointed expression, Zhang Xuening said to a few people apologetically: "This shouldn't be, what Daddy said himself, he will never believe it... ”

She seemed to remember something and excitedly said: "We must have found the wrong place, it must be, our Zhang family is a family rich in wealth in the world, how can the ancestral temple be so dilapidated." ”

She took out the map that her father had given her before he died, and looked at it carefully by the moonlight, desperately trying to find the wrong trace on it, but where she found the wrong place, the place marked on it was exactly the same as the remnants of the wall in front of them.

Zhang Xuening was speechless for a moment, and looked at Fang Yu who was depressed.

For a while, the atmosphere fell to the freezing point, and several people didn't know what to do.
