Cheng Ru glared at the middle-aged man from before, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and then said to the martial artist with a smile: "Although it is summer now, there is still a little bit of coolness in this mountain forest. I was so skinny that I was very susceptible to illness, so I wore a hat in case I got sick from scratch. ”

The middle-aged man leaned into Chengru's ear and asked, "Didn't you say that your family doesn't speak?"

Cheng Ru gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few low words from between his teeth, "Lao Tzu is not a monk!"

The middle-aged man nodded in fear.

Although the warrior had some doubts in his heart, he roughly accepted Cheng Ruye's statement, and also smiled, "Are you traveling abroad? Which country? We are from Houliang, and this trip is to Korea to do business." Oh yes, under the surname Gu, the name is copper, and I don't know the names of the two sons?"

This martial artist is really a person from a big family, whether it is the tone of his speech or his actions, he is extremely polite, although he is big, he does not have much fear in life.

Cheng Ru knew that Jiang Lili was not good at dealing with others, so he hurriedly said: "My surname is Cheng, my name is like this, this surname is Jiang, and my name is Lili." We are Dasui people, this trip... It's kind of a travel. ”

After hearing that Cheng Ru and Jiang Lili were from the Great Sui, there was obviously a difference in the bronze eyes, and the tone also seemed cautious, it seems that the sentence "If the country is strong, the youth is strong" is really not half a water. He said: "It turns out that the two sons came from afar in the Great Sui, and my young lady has always admired the style of the Great Sui, so why don't you ask me to introduce the two sons?"

Before he could speak, Jiang Lili waved his hand impatiently, "See a fart, there's nothing to see, could it be that your young lady has four legs?"

Hearing this, Gu Bronze's expression was a little angry, but he hid it not shallowly, if it was put in the ,,, of ordinary people, hey, just give an example, the middle-aged man would definitely not be able to see it.

There is a saying that a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and Cheng Ru knows this truth very well. Now that he and Jiang Lili are in a remote place, if they get into trouble with this group of people, they won't take much advantage, so they hurriedly said: "Don't blame Gu Zhuangshi, my friend is shy by nature, don't look at him speaking so harshly, in fact, he is just a little afraid of life." Because I'm not good at dealing with outsiders, I often put on this face, but I don't have much malice. ”

The bronze's face looked better at this time.

Jiang Lili didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Ru, walked back to the carriage with a knife, and said coldly: "Give you more time, if you delay the journey, I won't spare you." ”

Cheng Ru nodded, and was about to say goodbye to this bronze when the bronze suddenly said: "Hurry? But be careful." This place is called Black Mountain Ridge, because it is at the junction of the three kingdoms, and is not subject to the laws of the three kingdoms, so many robbers and bandits occupy the mountains here as kings, and if outsiders come, they must rob it! Therefore, if you want to pass through this mountain, you must be worried, our caravan has encountered a group of robbers not long ago, and it is thanks to our large numbers that the bandits have not succeeded, but they have also lost a lot of goods. ”

Just as he was telling the bronze, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I haven't asked you where you're going on this trip?"

"South Korea. ”

"South Korea?" Bronze smiled: "I didn't expect the two sons to be with us, it's better for the two sons to walk with us, if we meet robbers, we can also take care of each other!"

Bronze obviously gave Cheng Ruye's face, he looked at these two people who were thin and weak, and only thought that they were rich sons who didn't know the height of the sky, and there were no guards around him, if he met bandits, he would definitely be eaten by bandits. The word "take care of each other" was used because he didn't want these two rich sons to be too ugly, and invited the two of them to go on the road with his caravan, firstly, because he had some good intentions, and secondly, because his family could have a relationship with the Great Sui. It's nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

To be honest, Cheng Ru was a little grateful when he heard the bronze wording, but he didn't agree on the spot, because he didn't know what Jiang Lili thought, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, but I don't know what your young lady thinks?"

Hearing this, Gu Bronze was really stunned, and it was indeed a bit of a transgression to invite these two people to accompany without the consent of the young lady. Now I invite them directly, if my own young lady doesn't agree, it's bad, how do these two sons think of themselves? If my own young lady agrees, it's even worse, how does this young lady see herself behind her back?

So after thinking about the stakes a little, the bronze wiped the sweat that appeared slightly on his head, and smiled apologetically at Cheng Ru: "It's reckless in the next, and please wait for the son, and then go to ask the young lady." ”

"Hey, hey!" Cheng Ru didn't have time to stop the bronze when he saw that the bronze had turned around and ran into the caravan, and secretly said that this person was really resolute, and then he only felt embarrassed.

First of all, I have to wait here for the man to come back, and secondly, if the young lady of his family does not agree, it doesn't matter. If he really agreed, and warmly invited the two of them to go with his caravan, in fact, it didn't matter, I was afraid that Jiang Lili wouldn't like it, and a fierce rhetoric would anger them, and it would be bad for both sides to be red-faced at that time.

was about to discuss with Jiang Lili, but when he turned around, he heard someone shouting behind him, "Cheng Gongzi!"

Grandma's, it's really vigorous!

It turned out that the bronze had already turned back, and looking at the joy on his face, he knew that something was wrong.

Behind the bronze was an old man, thin as an ancient tree but as fine as a pine crane, although his body was rickety, his cloudy eyes were shining from time to time. Looking at his walking posture and breathing style, we can see that this old man is afraid that he has some skills!

"This is the Great Sui Son you are talking about?"

The old man's voice was like the sound of flint rubbing against steel, extremely hoarse and harsh, and Cheng Ru couldn't react.

Bronze secretly pointed to his throat with his index finger in the corner where the old man couldn't see, and Cheng Ru turned back to understand, and bowed slightly to the old man and said, "I've seen the old man." ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "Isn't it hot for you to wear a hat?"

Cheng Ru chirped and chirped, obviously not wanting to explain more on this topic. But seeing the old man's extremely interested appearance, he couldn't help but reply, so he reluctantly smiled: "Xiaosheng is weak and sickly, and wearing a hat is just a cold." ”

The old man nodded, and said, "But you don't look like you're frail and sick." ”

Cheng Ru wanted to give this old man a fist, but seeing that there were really a lot of guards and warriors in this caravan, he replied casually: "Xiaosheng's complexion looks not much different from ordinary people, but his body bones are really not good, and because this mountain forest is extremely cool, he wears such a hat." ”

"But it is a strange thing for a frail and sick person to go out and travel!" the old man was very vigilant.

Without avoiding the embarrassment of the two, Gu Bronze introduced: "This surname is Wei, and ordinary people call him Wei Lao." This is Cheng Ru is Cheng Gongzi, and he must also be from the biggest

Sui rich and noble family. ”

Wei Lao stared and laughed, this smile made Cheng Ru feel a hint of coldness, and shivered.

Wei Lao said again: "Didn't you say that there are two people, and there is another one?"

"My friend is unsociable, so ... ”

"Men and women?"

"It's not good to be sociable, it's not as good as it was six or seven hundred years ago, even if you are a woman, you don't need to hide in the attic, and it's a good thing to see the world and make more friends. This is true for women, let alone men. ”

Wei Lao's meaning was very clear, he just wanted to call Jiang Lili out to meet.

Cheng Ru could obviously hear it, but he was also very embarrassed, so he said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to introduce Wei Lao, it's just that my friend spoke badly, for fear of annoying Wei Lao... ”

Before Cheng Ru finished speaking, Wei Lao covered his mouth and laughed loudly, this laughter and posture really made Cheng Ru dare not compliment, and even had goosebumps all over his body.

Wei Lao stretched out his slender fingers and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's okay, how many things have I never seen in so long I have lived? How many cold words have I never heard? How many scolding and sarcasm have I not heard? There is really nothing to annoy me." You just have to ask him to come out and meet me, and I want to deal with your friend even more when you say that, right?"

When Wei Lao said this, Cheng Ru really couldn't shirk it, so he laughed twice, "It's okay, it's okay." Then he began to think about how to shout Jiang Lili out, and after shouting out, he had to think about how to remind him to tell him to say less bad things, even if he didn't pick pleasing words, he would always make others have a good face!

After pondering, he walked to the side of the carriage, and Cheng Ru cleared his throat and shouted, "Jiang Lili." ”

"Why?"

Cheng Ru was speaking, but Jiang Lili shouted again, this time the voice was not low.

Cheng Ru was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Someone wants to meet you, it's the people in the caravan just now, and they want to invite us to go with their caravan." ”

"No!" Jiang Lili replied coldly, "What's the best thing to see? There is no need to walk with them, what if they pull us back?"

Cheng Ru pouted, "But people always have good intentions, even if they refuse, they should show their faces!"

"Good intentions?" Jiang Lili sneered: "That's not necessarily!

Cheng Ru had no choice, turned his head and looked at the old Wei who seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, so he broke the jar and broke it, ruthlessly: "Actually, it's not that I have to ask you to see him, it's just that the man said that you can't hide it, it really doesn't look like an old man, but it looks like... ”

"Like what?" Jiang Lili's words were mixed with a hint of anger.

"Like a girl who can't get married. ”

I only heard a bang, and Jiang Lili rushed down, "Which person?"

Cheng Ru closed his eyes and didn't dare to look, and stretched out his hand and pointed at Wei Lao.

Jiang Lili sneered, walked over, and said as he walked: "Yo, it's still an old immortal thing, with an orchid finger, you shouldn't be a dead eunuch who didn't have a handle!"

Cheng Ru only hopes that when the time comes, he will have a place to hide.

。。。

As soon as Jiang Lili said this, he saw that the bronze face was wrong, and he looked worried, looking at Jiang Lili who opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and quickly turned his head to look at Wei Lao, helpless.

Wei Lao's face was green.

"What's the matter? Could it be that I was still right by me?" Jiang Lili shook the tiger sword in his hand and walked in front of Wei Lao to stand still, "You shouldn't really be a dead eunuch, right?"

Cheng Ru only then knew why this Wei Lao's style was so strange, it turned out that Wei Lao was actually a eunuch!

I was just secretly happy in my heart, and I was suddenly shocked. Which caravan would dare to call a eunuch to accompany it? The royal caravan would not dare either!

You must know that in addition to the palace and the old eunuchs who return to the fields, if you dare to raise eunuchs privately, you will be killed!

This is tantamount to rebellion!

But this caravan is accompanied by a eunuch, if this eunuch is not from the palace to invite the old man to tell the country, then this caravan must have people from the royal family!

And the most likely person from the royal family is the "young lady" in the bronze mouth! Could it be that she is still a princess?

Cheng Ru was scared out of a cold sweat on the spot, if it was the royal family, then this group of people must have a lot of masters, if it was a fight, wouldn't they suffer greatly?

After realizing this, Cheng Ru frowned again, why did the royal family of Houliang go to Korea? Or do they travel as such a huge caravan! If it is in ordinary times, it must not matter, the two countries intersect, and the princes and princesses of the two countries interact with each other, in fact, it is not a big deal. But now that the strange things that happened in South Korea are known to the entire Southern Dynasties, why are there still royal exchanges between the two countries?

If you just follow the past business dealings, it's fine, if there is an inexplicable connection between the two, then it's...

It's a shame that I didn't agree to go with their caravan, otherwise wouldn't I be involved in a turmoil?

Jiang Lili doesn't like trouble, and Cheng Ru doesn't like it either. Now Cheng Ru only hopes that Jiang Lili can firmly refuse the proposal of those people, then he will definitely drag Jiang Lili to run away, and the farther away from these troubles, the better!

At this time, Wei Lao's face was no longer good, his lips were trembling, the folds on his face were shaking frequently, and when he opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, suddenly a voice came from behind, it was a clear and slightly mature female voice, which felt like a new leaf growing on a willow tree until May.

She said: "Is this the young man from the Great Sui? The little woman's name is Tang Qiuya, and she has been busy with the caravan's itinerary, so she neglected the child, and I ask the son to forgive me." ”

Walking over was a woman with long hair and a beige dress, ordinary height, slightly high nose bridge, and no outstanding posture, but there was always a slight smile on her face, which looked gentle and polite.

Seeing the woman coming over, Wei Lao's words in his throat were suppressed, and he saluted the woman, and after saying Miss, he glared at Jiang Lili fiercely.

Jiang Lili rolled her eyes backhandedly and pushed back.

"Haven't you heard of the son's name?" Tang Qiuya looked at Jiang Lili with a smile.

Jiang Lili didn't say a word, and Cheng Ru felt that even if he didn't go with them, he shouldn't have a bad relationship with them, so he hurriedly trotted over and said: "Contemptible people are like this, and adults are beautiful, and they should be like this." This is the contemptible best friend, the river of life, the river of the river, the dripping Li!"

Jiang Lili said dissatisfiedly: "Go back to the river of Longjiang!"

Cheng Ru hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my mistake, it's not the river of the river, it's the river of the Huilong River." ”

Tang Qiuya didn't laugh because of Cheng Ru's lame words, but looked at Cheng Ru's cold sweat that was originally caused by anxiety and asked with a little concern: "Why did Cheng Gongzi wear a cotton felt hat? Isn't it hot?"

If you do, you want to curse!

Can you talk less about that?

How many more times do you want me to explain?

Jiang Lili ate and laughed.

Tang Qiuya wondered: "Could it be that the little girl said the wrong thing? If you touch the taboo of the child, please don't blame the child." ”

Cheng Ru forced a smile, "Hehe." ”

Tang Qiuya didn't know what was wrong with this matter, but she could also notice that this hat was a little unusual, could it be a family heirloom? So Tang Qiuya didn't make more topics on the hat, and said straight to the point: "The little woman really didn't expect to meet two young talents from the Great Sui in this Black Mountain Ridge, the little woman is very longing for the Great Sui culture, and heard that the two sons went to South Korea, so she asked the two sons to go with the little woman, and the little woman can also ask the two sons for more anecdotes about the customs of the Great Sui." ”

At the end, Tang Qiuya thought about it slightly: "There are many bandits in this Black Mountain Ridge, the little woman doesn't suspect that the two sons can't settle down, presumably since the two sons dare to travel alone, they must have something extraordinary." It's just that these bandits are afraid that they have no eyes and no beads, and they can't see that the two sons have strange skills, and they will fly like locusts under their ugliness, and won't they cause a lot of trouble when the time comes? I don't know what Childe thinks?"

Well, this girl is reasonable, slowly and gradually, and decent and generous, so that people can't find the ugliness in it. Moreover, it is extremely sincere, and Cheng Ru has a headache, how to refuse this?

Although Cheng Ru knows that those bandits are trouble, he also knows that these people are only afraid of greater trouble!

Refuse directly? That's too shameless, isn't it! Refuse politely? How can you refuse politely? People have already said that this is the point, and any polite refusal is a direct refusal!

Then it's okay to find an excuse! What excuse should you find? On this trip, you have to go to the Black Mountain Mountains to visit your mother? Phew, come on, aren't you the son of a bandit? Then you are going to pay homage to your mother who was killed by bandits a few years ago and buried here? Whose mother is that? I can't do it, although I say that my mother died early, but I can't be an unfilial son! I say that I am Jiang Lili's mother? Yes, before I get into trouble, I will be directly punched to death by Jiang Lili here.

Before I could come up with any reason, I only heard Jiang Lili sneer and said: "Traveling with you?" Come on, is it difficult for Lao Tzu to be afraid of trouble? Just ask those bandits to come to me, is Lao Tzu afraid?"

Cheng Ru was in awe of Jiang Lili, and gave Jiang Lili a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that it was really this kind of talent who did not give people face that was the easiest to follow his heart!

As soon as Jiang Lili's words fell, Tang Qiuya's face was slightly embarrassed, but she still smiled reluctantly: "The little woman doesn't say that the son is incompetent, it's just that the little woman does admire and longs for the Great Sui, and she didn't avoid the fact that the two of them delayed the trip because of those bandits, so she put forward such a statement." ”

"Delay the trip, those bandits can delay Lao Tzu's trip?" Jiang Lili snorted coldly, and then glanced at Tang Qiuya with slanted eyes, "It's that talking to you girl has delayed Lao Tzu a lot, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu would have been gone for half an hour!

In the end, Jiang Lili glanced at Wei Lao, who was squinting at him, "What? Lao Tzu scolded you, are you still not convinced? Come on, pull out a knife and hit me! Hey, you damn it, you didn't kill the eunuch!"

Wei Lao was about to have a seizure, but Tang Qiuya made a gesture to stop Wei Lao.

Thinking that the fight was about to start, Cheng Ru was still thinking about his escape route, but after seeing Tang Qiuya's action, he knew that there was still a turnaround, so he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my friend can't speak, if you refute the face of a few people, then I apologize for my friend, it's really because the two of us have to do something again, so I won't go with a few people, sorry!"

Tang Qiuya hummed and didn't speak again.

Cheng Ru smiled again, pulled Jiang Lili and hurriedly drove into the carriage, and hurriedly "ran for his life".

Driving the carriage, Cheng Ru asked, "Jiang Lili, why don't you want to be with them? ”

Jiang Lili clasped her hands to her chest and snorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? That girl just wants to talk to me about the customs and culture of the Great Sui, I don't know it, won't I be a foil for you when the time comes?"

Cheng Ru was stunned and laughed, he only thought that Jiang Lili didn't like Wei Lao's words to reject Tang Qiuya's proposal so fiercely, but he didn't expect that the reason for Jiang Lili's refusal turned out to be this!

"Laugh again, Lao Tzu lost your hat!!"

Looking at the carriage galloping away, Tang Qiuya's face fell directly, and the bronze directly knelt on the ground with a thud, and couldn't stop kowtowing, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the villain really doesn't know that these two people are so unkind, and I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to forgive her sins!"

Cheng Ru guessed correctly.

Tang Qiuya snorted coldly, her face as cold as October twilight snow.

Wei Lao said compassionately: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to be angry with these two people, Wei Chen can see that the surname Cheng doesn't have any ability at all, the only thing is that he can say a few words! And although the kid surnamed Jiang is carrying a knife, the blood and qi floating on his body are not much different from ordinary people, and he is useless to support the martial artist who is the peak of the first mountain! Presumably, these two people are nothing more than the rich and noble children of the Great Sui who have eyes higher than the sky, and they think that they can be invincible in the world after learning a few sword techniques, but in fact they are a brainless fool! It's three points worse than the one who can talk about it!Just wait, these two are so ignorant that you won't have to wait until tomorrow to see their bones on the road!"

Hearing this, Tang Qiuya's face turned slightly clearer, "If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to have a relationship with Da Sui, do you think that this princess would pay attention to those two straw bags and rice bags?

At the end, Tang Qiuya said to the bronze who was still kowtowing: "Spare your life this time! If you are still so blind next time, then you don't have to live in this world!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, thank you, Your Royal Highness, for forgiveness!"

"Let's keep going!" Tang Qiuya said as she walked back to the carriage: "I just hope that this trip to South Korea will not be distracted!"

。。。

On the second day, there were no bones on the road, and in the early morning of the third day, I saw a mountain forest in the Black Mountain Ridge withered and lifeless!

The abrupt and dry trunk of the tree is covered with dense knife marks!

The mountains and forests are full of frightened dried corpses, how many hundreds!

There was also a broken flag hanging weakly on the treetops, and Tang Qiuya remembered that the flag was held by the gang leader who attacked her caravan a few days ago!

There is also a car on the road that is getting farther and farther away!

Tang Qiuya gasped in shock, turned her head to look at the silent Old Wei, and then remembered what the man surnamed Jiang said!

He said, "Are you afraid? Just tell those bandits to let them go!"

Originally, I thought it was the boastful talk of a rich kid who didn't know the height of the sky, but then I realized that what the young swordsman said was true!
