The man in black is named Wen Zhan, one year older than Lu Qingtang, and he is from Weinan County, and he ran out because of a conflict with his family. As soon as he arrived in Fangcheng County, he was captured by bandits, and he finally escaped, and was shot with an arrow in the leg.

He was injured and had no choice but to go to the nearby village to steal, but he never hurt the innocent, he just stole some food.

After listening to what happened to him and looking at him again, I saw an indescribable nobility in him.

Especially those obsidian-like eyes, which look very energetic, coupled with fair skin, look like the son of a rich family.

But he didn't want to talk more about his family affairs, so Lu Qingtang didn't ask much, and the two chatted for a while, and then they heard Yu Bai's shouts from the bottom of the mountain.

Lu Qingtang immediately walked out of the cave to greet him, Yu Bai and the farmer's brother took turns carrying Wen Zhan down the mountain, and when they arrived at the farmer's house, they cooked hot porridge for him, which made him even more embarrassed.

Wen Zhan apologized to his sister-in-law and brother, saying that he was also hungry, so he went down the mountain to steal things. But fortunately, my sister-in-law and my brother were generous, and they didn't care about his difficulties when they learned about him, and Lu Qingtang also took out money as compensation.

Wen Zhan was in strong health, he could get out of bed and walk after only two days, and Lu Qingtang's medicine was good, so he didn't feel pain.

He sat in the yard and watched Mo Bao and Mo Mo feeding the chickens, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laugh, he said to Lu Qingtang on the side: "Lady Tang, you are so beautiful and kind, why did that man abandon you?" I can't figure it out. ”

Lu Qingtang was sitting on the grinding plate, and when he heard Wen Zhan's words, he smiled bitterly, "Maybe I am not suitable for him, if it is not suitable, we will separate, in fact, it is not a big deal." ”

"The lady is open-minded, but she is the one who is most wronged, sometimes people are very helpless, they know some things but they dare not resist, we are all the same kind of people." Wen Zhan said, he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a wry smile.

Lu Qingtang saw that he was worried, so she didn't talk about this topic, and she asked him again, "What are your plans in the future?" You can't go back to that cave and nest, can you? ”

Wen Zhan looked up at her, his clear eyes were dazzling in the sun, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I actually want to go home and see, it's been a few months." ”

"Then let's go together, we are also going to Weinan County to be companions together." Lu Qingtang looked at him tentatively.

Wen Zhan smiled, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very beautiful, and he nodded, "Okay, thank you for inviting Mrs. Tang." ”

As he spoke, he watched Lu Qingtang get up and feed the chickens with the two babies, and the sparkle in his eyes was very gentle.

……

After resting for another two days, Wen Zhan's leg was almost better, and Lu Qingtang told everyone about taking Wen Zhan on the road, but the others were nothing, except for Yu Bai's unhappy face.

Yu Bai was extremely angry, and he said to Lu Qingtang: "Madam, it is not safe for such an unknown person to follow around, besides, we are not short of manpower." ”

"Be quiet." Lu Qingtang made a silent gesture at him, and pointed to the three babies sleeping on the bed.

Yu Bai immediately covered his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "Madam, this person is unknown, it is not safe, and he ...... The way he looks at you is always squinting, it's not a good thing at first glance! ”

Lu Qingtang held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "That's the point, right?" Besides, why are people squinting, that look is quite normal. ”

As she spoke, she recalled that when Wen Zhan looked at her, at most she was gentle, where can it be considered a color and squint, this Yu Bai is really hearty.

Then she continued: "Yu Bai, are you thinking too much? I think you have a prejudice against Wenzhan, and it's not people's fault that people are tall and handsome. ”

Yu Bai stopped talking, he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Even if he is a decent man and a gentleman, what does it matter to us, he is a man after all." ”

Lu Qingtang couldn't help but smile, she hooked her finger at Yu Bai, and after Yu Bai got closer, she said again: "There is a bandit den near here, Wen Zhan has been taken to the mountains, so he naturally knows something about bandits, I think let's ...... I mean, if he encounters a bandit, maybe he'll be familiar with the way to escape. Besides, it's nothing to take someone home by the way. ”

"I see, but ......" Yu Bai's eyes flickered, "Even if this is the case, we must beware of him, he is a man after all." ”

The corners of Lu Qingtang's mouth twitched, and then waved his hand at him, motioning for him to go back to the house to sleep.

Yu Bai walked out of Lu Qingtang's room, returned to his room, and found what was written on a note with a pen and paper. Then take a carrier pigeon from the cage, tie a note to the pigeon's leg, and release the pigeon.

He looked at the carrier pigeon in the distance, and muttered in a low voice: "Pigeon, pigeon, you must quickly tell the news to the prince, there is a bad boy here to seduce our princess!" ”

In the past three months, it has been Yu Bai who has been communicating with Mo Zeshen through carrier pigeons, and he learned that Mo Zeshen was the queen mother's guardian until Qiqi, and he was suspended from thinking about it in the palace. However, within a few days, His Majesty made an order to arrange for him to secretly go out on an errand to patrol Weinan, and I don't know what it is.

But this is not important, the important thing is that Mo Zeshen is going to meet Lu Qingtang again, and as a subordinate, he naturally hopes to see his master happy.

He calculated the time, and according to Mo Zeshen's usual pace, he could almost reach Fangcheng County in the next few days. He only hoped that the sooner the better, lest the unknown Wen Zhan rob his princess.

……

The breeze floats in the early morning, blowing cold on his body, Lu Qingtang likes this pleasant weather.

At this time, the carriage had all been pleased, Wen Zhan carried the two babies into the carriage, and turned his face to look at Lu Qingtang, "Lady Tang, hurry up and get in the car, we are leaving." ”

Lu Qingtang said goodbye to the farmer's sister-in-law and brother, as well as two cute children, and then got into the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Yu Bai looked at how Wen Zhan was unpleasant, and he was even more uncomfortable sitting in the same carriage with him.

Out of the village, the carriage walked along the mountain road, and soon entered the mountain, as long as you walked out of this path, and then walked a little further, it was the outskirts of Fangcheng County.

The ruggedness of the mountain road is a small thing, but it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there are towering trees on both sides, making the road look eerie during the day.

Lu Qingtang couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out, she always felt that something was wrong.

So, she said to Wen Zhan and Yu Bai: "Do you two think there is something weird? ”

Yu Bai looked at her puzzled, frowned, and said, "Madam, what's weird, why didn't I find it?" ”

Wen Zhan frowned, and immediately became alert, "That's right, Mrs. Tang, I always feel that this place seems to be too quiet." ”
