Seeing that everyone was on the horse, Mo Yunxiao was still not in a hurry, and Mrs. Wei said: "Helu, the time is running out, I will take Shi Yu to go first!" ”

After she said that, she jumped on her horse and raised her whip, and said, "Drive!" The mount got up and ran out, "Madame wait for me!" Mo Yunze followed.

"Helu, let's go, what are you grinding?" Li Qingzhao also asked a little anxiously.

"Wait a minute." After Mo Yunxiao finished speaking, she turned around again, looked at Ma Youxian and Zhang Di, and said, "This time I want to take a little risk." The forbidden army is going to divide into a part to protect Yuru and my brother. ”

The two looked at each other and agreed in unison.

"The two of you will take half of the men and horses, one will go with me, and the other will chase Yuru." Mo Yunxiao coughed with her hand over her mouth and asked, "I wonder which of the two wants to go with me?" ”

Zhang Di glared at him and said, "I can follow Wei ......."

"Okay, then Zhang Di." Mo Yunxiao interrupted him, and threw down another sentence: "If you don't do your best, I will go to the official's house to sue you!" ”

Zhang Diqi's face was flushed, but he was helpless, so he had to sigh in vain, and followed behind Mo Yunxiao with his head drooped.

"Mo Yunxiao, I haven't led soldiers." Zhang Di said: "This time, I am just a supervisor of the army, not a commander. If you make such an arrangement, if something goes wrong and the official family blames you, then you should be careful. ”

At this time, Mo Yunxiao had already turned over and said with a smile: "Okay, it's a big deal that I will go to see the official family, sell my grievances, and win the mercy of the official family, and I will not embarrass me if I forgive him." But what about you? If the errand is not done well, someone has to be punished. If it's not me, it's you. ”

Zhang Di's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice: "Mo Yunxiao! Don't deceive people too much! Which harem concubine has never been a concubine around the emperor? With me, you don't want to enter the palace to enjoy wealth! ”

"But I just want to enter the palace to enjoy the wealth, what can I do?" Mo Yunxiao looked at him with a smile, which made him angry.

"Entered the palace...... Entered the palace...... You must be a Yang Taizhen too! Zhang Di also stepped on the horse.

"Hahaha, thousands of pampering in one, then I can't ask for it. Drive! Mo Yunxiao smiled heartily, then flicked the horsewhip and urged the horse to run forward.

……

The night wind was still pressing, weaving through the woods, mixed with a terrible trumpet. Yun Xiang was draped in his own clothes and curled up in a cave that was not very spacious.

It is said to be a cave, but it is just a cave dug artificially on the dirt slope, and in winter, people in a hurry will light wolf dung here to warm up and sleep, so it is not very shady.

Yun Xiang shrank in the cave, and the clothes he was wearing exuded a little residual heat, which was just dried by this scholar.

The scholar sat at the entrance of the cave, staring blankly at the night sky. His face was very dull, or rather very solemn, just like Yun Xiang saw his expression in the grass house.

"Presumably, he also has a sad past?" Thinking like this, Yun Xiang couldn't help but feel a little close to him.

She lowered her head slightly, and suddenly heard the scholar chanting: "It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad and lost the way." ”

"When we meet in Pingshui, we are guests from other places." Yun Xiang couldn't help but add.

The scholar hesitated slightly, looked back at her, and saw that she was also looking at herself, with a reserved smile on her face.

The scholar also smiled and said, "This "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", it turns out that the second girl has also read it. ”

Yun Xiang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the poetry slave of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty has read it since childhood. There is also Yuan Bai Yuefu, and the Wei and Jin articles are also skimmed. ”

"Oh, yes, yes." The scholar gently patted his hand on his forehead and said with a smile: "The girl of the Mo family is virtuous and gentle, and the book is naturally read, no better than those village girls and clumsy women, although there are also delicate and lovely, but unfortunately there is no ink on the chest, and it is not worth a penny." ”

Yun Xiang knew that he was praising himself in disguise, and he was already slightly happy, and then looked at this person's fair skin, uniform facial features, and a princely nobility that could not be concealed between the two thick eyebrows, although his appearance was slightly inferior to that of "Little Pan'an" Song Mingxuan, but his bearing was far better than Song Lang.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiang was overjoyed, and his heart involuntarily promised him.

So Yun Xiang asked, "I just don't know, why does Mr. have such feelings?" Could it be that Mr. Fei also has another problem? ”

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and his eyes exuded a sharp brilliance. Yun Xiang was taken aback, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, "The little girl has no mouth, don't blame you." ”

The scholar smiled and said, "The second girl doesn't have to have abrupt thoughts. Alas, who in the world does not have a trace of bitterness? ”

"Is Mr. also a move to Beijing to catch the exam?" Yun Xiang asked.

The corner of the scholar's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "Yes, this year is the year of Dabi, but the Jingshi I saw was robbed. Alas, if one day, I can fly the dragon in the sky, I must rectify the rule of the world, and return all the people to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

Yun Xiang didn't hear the deep meaning of his words, he just thought that he was a good man with big ambitions, and his good impression of him was even stronger.

"It's just that the road to the imperial examination has always been difficult, and the slave's father often said that now it is the traitorous ministers who are in charge and force the good to become prostitutes, so my father does not allow us to make friends with the powerful."

"Not bad." The scholar looked at the sky and said quietly: "There are traitors in the court, and there are mediocre people in the border defense. When I was in the dynasty of Taizu, I was haunted by the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Taizong died with hatred. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years of vicissitudes, the present people mourn the predecessors, and the future generations mourn the present people. And people in the world are drunk and dreaming of death, and no one sees through the crisis. If one day, Hu rides south, how can I resist it? ”

The more Yun Xiang listened, the more surprised he became, and he thought to himself: "Sure enough, he is a masterpiece, and who in the world can dissect the benefits and disadvantages so deeply as he does." ”

The man turned around and said to Yun Xiang: "It is my life's wish to rectify the internal governance of officials and cultivate military equipment externally. Alas, it's a pity that the road ahead is vast, and I don't know when this wish will come true? ”

Yun Xiang said with a smile: "As long as Mr. works hard and becomes a chief executive in the future, why can't you worry about this big event?" ”

"Yes, the second girl has learned a lesson." The man smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again, but what he thought in his heart was: "How can I put it in my eyes?" The dragon enters the sea, the tiger returns to the mountain, how can I display my ambition if I am not an emperor? And how to take revenge! ”

"Sir, why do you call the second girl?" Yun Xiang said with disgust: "Although the slave has a female brother, he has not been harmonious since he was a child. Nu knows, Nu Na brother likes to wander the rivers and lakes, and has made friends with many people. Therefore everyone praised her and rejoiced in her. But the gentleman didn't know how she bullied the slave. She is only proud of her own origins, so she speaks harshly. It's just that on the day of Shangyuan, she fell into Jin Mingchi and almost died, but since then, her temperament has changed greatly, and she is better for slaves. It's just that the slave still doesn't like her, and she doesn't like others calling me the second girl. ”

The scholar smiled: "It is not surprising that the ladies in the house have always been like this. It's just that what should I call a girl? ”

Yun Xiang grinned and said, "It's okay to call Nu Xiang'er, that's what the slave's mother is called." ”

"Oh!" The scholar's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he asked again: "I don't know how that gang of bandits robbed Xiang'er?" ”

Yun Xiang sighed and said, "This matter is a long story. But in the final analysis, the account has to be settled on Mo Yunxiao's head. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The scholar asked suspiciously.

Yun Xiang explained how Mo Yunxiao got acquainted with the official family, how he entered King Jian's mansion, and how he and Mrs. Wei of the official family worked together to suppress the rebellion of the Cao Gang and King Jian, and the Cao Gang was jealous, but took himself.

In her narrative, only the secret promise of Zhao Mingcheng was hidden, and most of the rest were objective facts, but it was inevitable that there was some belittling of Mo Yunxiao between her words.

The scholar nodded again and again when he heard this, and sighed: "It's really a fire at the city gate that affected the pond fish." Alas, I thought that the eldest girl of the Mo family was a heroine among women, but I didn't expect to deceive King Jian like this. What a hero would have done? ”

Yun Xiang heard that there seemed to be a grievance for King Jian, so he said: "But King Jian is known as 'the dragon in the flower', he is a light and prodigal person, although Mo Yunxiao is a slave, but getting rid of King Jian can be regarded as a shame for the women of the world." ”

"Xiang'er, have you seen King Jian?" The scholar asked.

Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's it." The scholar said: "Historically, the winner is the king and the loser is the loser." Who in the world does not know that Han Gaozu is a villain, and King Xiang is a real hero and a hero. But when Gaozu won the world, he made up the legend of the son of the Red Emperor. Hum! It's just an act of covering your ears and stealing the bell! ”

Yun Xiang frowned slightly, and said: "This is also reasonable, but King Jian's mansion is extremely poor and luxurious, and it is a matter of talking about the streets of Tokyo, so it should be true." ”

"Only insiders know the rights and wrongs, and outsiders just rely on false rumors, how can they rely on it?" The scholar argued.

Yun Xiang nodded and muttered, "That's the same." ”

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that Mr. is familiar with King Jian?" Hence that? ”

"Me?" The scholar smiled and said, "King Jian is the son of the Divine Sect, the royal family and nobles, how do you get acquainted with the grass people in the lower district?" ”

Yun Xiang was about to ask again, but the scholar suddenly leaned over and covered Yun Xiang's mouth. Yun Xiang was taken aback and almost screamed.

The scholar said softly: "Don't speak, there are people outside!" ”

Yun Xiang listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, as if there were thousands of horses running outside.

She turned her eyes again and saw the scholar's hand covering her mouth, but her eyes were blazing and full of vigilance.

Seeing him like this, Yun Xiang secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although he did this to protect himself, he always stood in front of him, giving Yun Xiang a full sense of security.

Before the sound of the horse's hooves was completely away, the scholar let go of Yun Xiang and moved towards the entrance of the cave. Yun Xiang suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, he turned around and asked, "Xiang'er, what's wrong?" ”

Yun Xiang was speechless nervously, just shook his head vigorously, as if to say: "Don't go over, it's not good to be discovered." ”

The scholar smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, you stay well, I'll just take a look, it's always clear whether it's an enemy or a friend." ”

Yun Xiang let go of his hand and watched him move to the entrance of the cave. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar back in front of him, a back that he loved and hated.

At this moment, a cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his body. "Mo Yunxiao?!" He gritted his teeth and muttered, but his voice was very low and did not let Yun Xiang hear it.

He turned his head to Yun Xiang and said, "I didn't think that this bandit would collude with the government. They must have come to hunt us down. ”

"Huh?" Yun Xiang suddenly lost his six gods and asked, "What can I do about this?" ”

The scholar came over and clasped her hands tightly and said, "There are only two ways at the moment. First, I will send you home, your female brother has the support of the Privy Counsellor and the Emperor, and these thieves will not do anything to you. ”

Yun Xiang felt reasonable, so he said: "Then you go back with me, you save me, and my family will be able to accommodate you." ”

The scholar shook his head with a smile and said, "I can stay at your house, but it is not a long-term solution, I will eventually find another place, and the thieves will not be worried." ”

Yun Xiang thought for a moment and asked again, "Then what is the other way?" ”

"I'll take you away, go to a place where the thieves can't find it, hide for a while, and when the turmoil calms down a little, I'll go into the city to find your brother-in-law and ask her to pick you up, so it's more appropriate."

Yun Xiang nodded hurriedly and said, "That's good." Slave...... The slave will go with you, and you will not leave the slave behind. ”

The scholar smiled and said, "Xiang'er, you trust me so much, how can I lie to you and hurt you." ”

The scholar's words were like a fire in the winter, burning Yun Xiang's heart itchy and hot. She no longer ignored the reserve of her daughter's family, but hugged the scholar closely, leaned her head tightly on his shoulder, and choked up: "The slave still doesn't know the name of the gentleman." ”

"My surname is Zhao." The scholar said.

"Zhao Lang!" Yun Xiang shed a drop of hot tears and wet the scholar's clothes: "Even if Zhao Lang goes to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the slave will also go." ”

The scholar patted her lightly on the shoulder and said, "Naturally, you don't have to go to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire. Xiang'er, without further ado, let's leave quickly. ”
