Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mountain

Cheng San saw that his godmother was stunned, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shu Yan looked at the little Taoist priest, and only heard her speak: "Have you ever seen a strange Taoist priest who likes to wear pink Taoist robes and hairpins......

The little Taoist priest coughed lightly, he stretched out his hand to approach the bonfire, and then whispered: "I want to come to the old lady to know my master, but my master has passed away." ”

For some reason, Shu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Since ancient times, no one has died, and one more day is counted as one day."

Cheng San snorted and laughed, but the little Taoist priest took out a yellowed handkerchief from his arms, and while everyone was eating, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Poor Dao met an old woman named Chen Ying by chance on the road, the old woman was suffering from the plague, and her body was a little entangled, let me find his child......"

The rest of the words, Shu Yan couldn't hear clearly, she felt that her ears were a little confused, and her heart was a little flustered for some reason, Cheng San saw that her godmother was not in a good situation, so she hurriedly said with concern: "What's wrong?" Godmother? ”

Shu Yan touched his head and whispered.

"It's just thinking about the past."

Cheng San was suddenly happy.

"What's the matter?"

Shu Yan sighed slightly, she reached out and touched Cheng San's head, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask more." ”

In the early morning of the second day, the little Taoist priest said goodbye to the two with a smile.

Shu Yan suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The little Taoist priest bowed his head slightly and replied, "I'm going to see an old friend of Master." ”

They walked for a month, but it was unexpectedly smooth, but they also heard from people who came one after another that Marshal Chen had recovered Pingqiu and formed an alliance with Xiliang, and the situation in the imperial court was very good.

Everyone said that this marshal, although he was already a grandfather, was still suave and graceful, and his demeanor remained the same as it was back then.

Hearing this, Shu Yan only felt a little helpless in his heart, Cheng San saw his godmother like this, and immediately smiled: "Godmother, you don't have to take it to heart, although you are also a grandmother, but your body is as good as a young man." ”

Shu Yan didn't sound like this, she directly stretched out her foot and kicked this guy, and then said: "Don't look at how powerful that old man Chen is on the surface, it's actually an embroidered pillow." ”

Cheng San touched his chin and said, "No, didn't the godmother and godfather give birth to seven children?" ”

Shu Yan stretched out his hand and twisted Cheng San's waist.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that they had already arrived at the checkpoint set by the imperial court, and it was said that Marshal Chen sent a team of people to this place to inspect it specifically to prevent spies from getting in.

Cheng San and Shu Yan glanced at each other, and silently walked to the back of the team, just in time to meet Bai Guichen.

Yu'an, the kid ran all the way, this sun was like black charcoal, but it was extremely pitiful, and Xiao Yu'er said softly to Shu Yan: "Grandma, is this the northwest?" ”

This is the intersection of the northwest and the Central Plains, if you walk through this place, and then you will reach the Hetao Plain, which is the big granary, and that is the destination of their escape.

Shu Yan reached out and touched Xiao Yu'er's head.

"That's right, there is a delicacy in the northwest, called oily noodles, which is particularly delicious, and I will take you to taste it when I have the opportunity."

This Bai Guichen interjected at this moment: "Godmother, how do we pass the test, I'm afraid that there is something greasy in it." ”

Shu Yan looked at the bloated crowd, and then looked at the mountains on the side, and she whispered, "Safe point, let's go around the mountain road." ”

The so-called mountain road is the Qilian Mountains that run through the northwest, although it is only a remnant vein, but it will take more than a month to walk around it.

And this is not like the crowded place in the Central Plains of the south of the Yangtze River, most of the tigers and beasts in the mountains and forests have been driven away, and it is quite primitive here.

Shu Yan looked at the verdant mountains, and only felt that his scalp was numb, but who knew if this level was set by the eldest princess.

If they want to live in peace, they can only find another way.

Shu Yan instructed Cheng San and the others to exchange some food with others, and they set off in the dead of night.

In the middle of the month, several people left the army with their children in their arms and rushed to the deep green forest.

After walking all night, when I turned back, I couldn't see the way I came.

Shu Yan found a place to settle down with them.

At this time, it was the end of summer, and there were many wild fruits ripening in the deep mountains and old forests, so Shu Yan picked the fruits with Xiaoyuer, and Yu'an saw it and hurried over to help.

But this asura is a very powerful one, and he actually caught a pheasant directly.

Shu Yan plucked the pheasant, handed it to Bai Guichen, and roasted the pheasant, which tasted so fragrant.

Cheng San lay comfortably under the tree, and he said: "Godmother, otherwise, let's find a place to live in this Qilian Mountain, burn a wasteland, and talk about it after a while?" ”

Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San.

"Spring, summer and autumn, in winter, we must not freeze to death in this mountain, if the mountains in the south can still feed people, but here, in winter, you can't even beat a rabbit, don't have bad ideas."

The group stayed here for another night, and they packed up their bodies, and even found a spring to take a luxurious bath.

It's just that at night, Shu Yan heard the sound of a wolf howling.

If you encounter a jackal, it's okay to say, but if you encounter a tiger, I'm afraid you can't beat it.

So Cheng San, Shu Yan and the others stayed in place for another day, made some improvised weapons, and then set off.

At this time, Chen Yunqing, who was far away in Pingqiu, took out a letter and handed it to his father, Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Yunqing said in a low voice: "Father, the people sent out did not find any trace of my mother, would my mother not go to the northwest?" ”

Chen Shengzhizi carefully studied the words on the letter, and he said: "Your mother will definitely go to the northwest, send more people, and don't let the princess know." ”

Chen Yunqing nodded.

Soon after Chen Yunqing left, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came in from outside the door, and she saw her husband who was over half a hundred years old but still had an extraordinary appearance.

Said with a smile.

"Husband, are you thinking about her?"

Chen Shengzhi smiled at Zhaoyang: "Princess, she is my wife, you came here with great fanfare, just to give her a dismount, she is a smart person, naturally she refuses to see you." ”

Zhaoyang sneered: "Get off the horse? I'm not the kind of stupid person who only gets jealous, who is that kid she is carrying, you think I don't know? ”

Chen Shengzhi is not surprised, how can an unmarried princess in her thirties be simple.

"Princess, that child doesn't know who she is, and she hasn't thought about what to do with this child."

Zhaoyang approached Chen Shengzhi, she reached out and grabbed Chen Shengzhi's arm, and whispered: "Husband, Your Majesty once said that the world depends on you alone......"
