Chapter 68: Meet the Altar Master
Chu Rong'er thought about it for a while, it seems that there is a chance to rush to the snake hub tomorrow! Looking at Guan Yanrou's sullen face, she is still familiar with the shopkeeper Xue, turned her body sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xue, when will you leave tomorrow?"
Shopkeeper Xue shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This ......"
Guan Yanrou slapped the table and said fiercely: "Wait for the news inside the snake hub, if the altar owner agrees, I will take you there, if not, don't waste your thoughts, go home early to rest." ”
Chu Rong'er was angry, "It's your business whether you take it or not, I don't care, but whether you go or not is my business, and you have no right to interfere." ”
Shopkeeper Xue saluted and asked Chu Rong'er to rest first, waiting for news from the snake hub.
Chu Rong'er dusted off her sleeves, walked out of the house with her sword in hand, and walked towards the guest room where she was resting.
The next day, before dawn, Chu Rong'er had already gotten up, only to see that Shopkeeper Xue and the cold girl Guan had no movement, she was still a little worried, in case she took advantage of the sky to slip away, when would she find such a good opportunity. If you think about it carefully, the people who are mixed up on the rivers and lakes will not act in such a humble style, and don't speculate indiscriminately, so that others despise themselves.
Chu Rong'er held her sword and hugged her arms, and walked back and forth in the house.
"Bang Bang"
The window on the third floor shook, and Chu Rong'er flew and fell to the ground gently.
Shopkeeper Xue heard the sound and hurriedly went out to investigate. There was a false alarm, and I had no choice but to say hello to Chu Rong'er.
Rong'er was missing this opportunity to ask about going to the Serpent's Hub.
"The Serpent's people are almost here, you wait a while, don't be in a hurry. Shopkeeper Xue leaned close to her side and whispered.
Chu Rong'er nodded, and had nothing to do when she was free, so she followed Shopkeeper Xue into the first floor to help him take care of the food tables and chairs in the inn, which was considered to be a waste of time.
Shopkeeper Xue repeatedly blocked her, but he still didn't try her, so he could only follow her wishes.
"Wow......"
There was a sound of going downstairs upstairs, Guan Yanrou came in a plain white dress, tied with green silk, and the knife was pinned to her crotch, which was extraordinary.
Compared with the black armor last night, this outfit looks a little more feminine, but her face is still indifferent, looking at her eyes, it is as if she has entered an ice cave for ten thousand years, and she can always shoot ten thousand cold rays, which makes people avoid it.
"Let's go!" Guan Yanrou glanced at and snapped out two words.
Chu Rong'er wiped her hands, leaned on the side of Chengshuang and lifted it with one foot, hanging it on the side of her crotch.
Out of the "Yuxi Building", walked to the East Street, there were two servants leading two horses waiting at the entrance of the alley, nodded after seeing Guan Yanrou, and walked away directly, disappearing in the early morning street.
Guan Yanrou didn't say a word, let alone take care of Chu Rong'er. After getting on the horse, he raised the whip directly, and ran hundreds of steps in an instant.
Chu Rong'er was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with the horse, so she jumped on the back of the horse and was startled by the neighing of the horse, she immediately pinched the reins, leaned forward and leaned against the horse.
Whip!
Da Da Da ......
Chu Rong'er followed Guan Yanran all the way, strange, the path she took was not the path of Qishan, could it be that this woman wanted to play some tricks?
Chu Rong'er added two whips to catch up with her and asked, "Miss Guan, it doesn't seem that this road is going to Qishan!"
Guan Yanrou locked her eyebrows, raised her arm and added two more whips, and pulled away for another distance.
Although the boundary of Youzhou is not familiar, but it often goes back and forth with Qingyou, and goes to Brother Xun's house many times, it can be regarded as a familiar road, either through the official road, seven miles away, or through the river to take a shortcut, saving two incense hours, but if it goes on like this, isn't it the opposite of the north?
Chu Rong'er's worries crept up her brows, but she could only speed up her horse pace and catch up with the "dumb man".
The horse turned around halfway, and Chu Rong'er put away her thoughts and let go of her worries.
After walking for most of the day, the horse was already panting and could not run, the mountains in front of him were strange and rocky, the spring was gloomy, and the grass under the mountain was more green than that on the mountain.
Guan Yanrou jumped off the horse, tied the horse to the trunk of the tree, flew over a waterlogged shallow sawa, stepped on the gravel and moved a few sections, and crossed to the other side of the water.
Shaoze in the north, this piece of water is probably the thaw of the riverbed in the spring, and the ice water of the river melts and floods, overflowing the riverbed and accumulating in low-lying places.
Chu Rong'er was not to be outdone, she got up with a jump, the soles of her feet resisted the wind, and a somersault kicked on the trunk of the tree on the shore, and with another use of strength in the center of the water, she rushed directly to the opposite bank.
Keep up with Guan Yanrou's steps, walk along the stream, and within 100 steps of the bank, a weeping willow with soft branches is graceful.
"Miss Guan, is this going to Qishan?"
I saw that she nodded slightly, and her steps were not slow at all, and she kept moving forward.
Through a one-foot-wide crack in the rock, the scenery in front of you is wide and flat, suddenly open, surrounded by mountains and valleys, and falling to the ground. It's a far cry from the outside, it's warm, weedy and wildflowers.
The two of them walked down the path, turning about eight or nine corners, and saw several houses in sight.
Chu Rong'er pouted, surprised and delighted in her heart, there was still such a good place to go in Qi Mountain.
Approaching, the guards in front of the house lined up on both sides, the knives in their hands were shaking, and the charcoal pot supporting the fire was emitting light smoke.
When the guards saw Guan Yanrou stepping on, they greeted each other with their fists: "Captain Guan!"
Guan Yanrou waved her hand and said, "Inform Lord Zhao Tan, the person has been brought." ”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, wait for Lord Zhao's order, and go in by yourself. ”
Chu Rong'er was stunned for a moment, this woman is really indifferent, it's just that, why bother with these, it's important to get down to business.
Not long after, Pu Wei came to pass and took Chu Rong'er directly into the wooden house.
Inside, the furnishings are simple, with only a few simple tables and chairs, presumably because this place is isolated from the world and inconvenient to provide.
A young man took two steps towards her, his eyes looking at her. On the side are two descendants of the same age, one is as white as jade, cold and cold, and the other is simple and honest, with a slight smile.
Chu Rong'er was the first to say hello, "Hello Lord Zhao!"
"Okay! The house is shabby, don't be disgusted, just sit down!"
Chu Rong'er smiled and nodded.
Zeng Xiangduan glanced at his eyes, slightly surprised.
"Lord Zhao, I won't go around in circles, just say it. Where the hell Ye Luo went, there was no news!"
Zhao Yingang's expression looked a little unexpected.
"I went to Nanzhao, but you can't look for him, he repeatedly entrusted me before leaving, let me protect your safety, and can't let anything go wrong with you. ”
Chu Rong'er sneered: "He's really kind!"
Before Zhao Yingang could speak, Zeng Xiangduan said with a smile: "Sister Rong'er, my brother is a righteous buddy, and the grace of saving his life has always been in my heart!"
Chu Rong'er turned her head in surprise, "You know me?"
"Haha...... My brother mentioned you, and I have a good memory, and I never forget it. ”
"I have roughly guessed that Ye Luo went to Nanzhao, but I don't dare to make a conclusion on the charges of snake pivot and wanted, so I can only ask Lord Zhao Tan for clarification. ”
Zhao Yingang stroked his beard and said: "We met in Dali Temple Prison, and when we saw it, we got married, and I persuaded him to stay in the snake hub, but he didn't listen, saying that he was going to Nanzhao, and I couldn't keep it." People have their own ambitions, and they can't force it, so they can only promise him to protect the safety of Chu Mansion. The last time I sent medicine, it was also a helpless move, after all, Xu Chonghuan's eagle dogs are everywhere, and I don't want to be related to the snake hub because of this matter, and it will affect the Chu family. ”
Chu Rong'er seemed to suddenly realize, nodded and thanked: "Thank you Lord Zhao, Rong'er doesn't know much about these rivers and lakes, but there are rumors about the major events of robbing officials and helping the people, and the people are worried about it." ”
"The people's peace is the most important thing for the serpent, and my brothers and I were born and died so that our parents would be healthy and our children would grow up. ”
Zeng Xiang interjected halfway, "Little sister, why don't you come to the snake hub too, let's kill the thief together, I heard Brother Ye Luo say, your skills are not bad." ”
Zhao Yingang stared at Zeng Xiang and shouted, "Duan'er, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Oh!" Zeng Xiangduan lowered his head slightly, his face slightly embarrassed.
Ye Qingyi sat beside him, shaking a jade white fan, leisurely.
