Taichen saw that Yu Han was a little interested and continued to speak: "I entered the sect as a supernumerary apprentice at that time, every year there are many martial arts wizards and talented people who go to learn the arts, even if it is a supernumerary apprentice exam, it is extremely strict, my master is Master Ziyun, he is very good, I can write a letter to him, you go to him, I should be able to help you!"

Yuhan nodded, and she continued: "I still have to go to the capital first, meet Xu Yao, he wants me to go to the capital, I don't know what happened to him? ”

"It's better this way, Taixuan Palace recruits people around the end of March, if you go to the capital now, you can settle in Zijun Palace first, and then go to Xu Yao, how about it?"

"Thank you Uncle Chen!"

"Hehe, you're welcome, the Zijun Wangfu is your home, there are no idle people in the mansion except for the housekeepers, servants, guards, etc., in two months, I will also go back, then we can still see each other, so it's decided, wait for me for a while." ”

After a while, Taichen wrote two letters, both signed and stamped with his own seal, one for Master Ziyun of Taishan, and the other for the housekeeper Ding Mo, and gave Yuhan a bronze medal of the Zijun Palace, and Yuhan put it away one by one.

Walking out of the door of Zihongxuan, standing in the Hongxiao Valley, Yuhan looked at the Yandang Mountain opposite for a long time, and felt all kinds of tastes in her heart, once there was home, it was a place for her own study and life, thinking that she would stay in the Red Leaf Warm Pavilion for the rest of her life, accompanying the master, junior brothers, and sisters, and carrying forward the sect, once upon a time, she took her younger brothers and sisters to happily shuttle between Yandang Mountain and Hongxiao Valley, and the sound of laughter lingered in her ears, but now she has become an outsider, goodbye Yandang Mountain, goodbye junior brother, junior sisters, goodbye master...

Back in Qingyan Town, Yuhan told his uncle about his plan to go to the capital, and the uncle was a little worried, after all, the capital was far away, and he didn't even have a place to stay.

Yuhan showed the bronze medal of the Zijun Palace: "Uncle rest assured, Uncle Taichen asked me to settle in the Zijun Mansion first, and after I finish my work in the capital, I will go to Taishan Taixuan Palace to take the annual exam and go there to learn skills." ”

Beigong Jinghong nodded: "Han'er, it's okay like this, you have to be more careful, you can't trust other people's words outside, you can't hurt others, but you can't have a sense of prevention, or you will suffer a loss." ”

"Uncle and Han'er have remembered, if there is anything important at home that needs to find me, go to the Zijun Mansion in the capital. ”

"Well, you need to write more to your family. ”

"Okay, I'm going to leave tomorrow, there's a letter here, if Meng'er comes back, you can pass it on to her. ”

Beigong Jinghong put away the letter and turned to leave.

The next day, Beigong Yuhan set off for the capital, the uncle prepared a horse and package, Tianyu, Tianxing, Li Zhong and his wife sent Yuhan out of Qingyan Town, Yuhan said goodbye to everyone, and went in the direction of the capital.

It is indeed a long way to go to the capital here, and if she rides a horse unhurriedly like she is now, it will take more than 20 days to a month to walk, or even a rapid march will take ten days and half a month.

Yuhan is not in a hurry, there is no important matter, he is now alone, the future is bleak, the mood is heavy, while relaxing, while walking slowly, going to the capital is just at the request of Xu Yao, there is just a passing, where should I go, I have never worried about my future before, the direction of my life, how suddenly it is in front of me, let me be caught off guard, the prospect is slim.

No one can help themselves, and now there is no one to give them advice, grandpa has passed away, the master has abandoned him, and the world seems to be empty all of a sudden, and there is no place for him.

She is not afraid of wandering, but she is afraid that there is no goal in life. In his previous life, he was far away from home at a young age in order to study, and he was up and down in the big city and in the sea of people, trying to find the sky that could belong to him. Now, he is walking on the Yuankun Continent in a daze, like a lonely boat that can't see the lighthouse but sails in the sea, drifting aimlessly to where it is, maybe he will end up on a reef in a daze, and then die in the vast waves.

Fortunately, I have participated in the Black Forest training, and I have also participated in large-scale gatherings such as the lion catching meeting, so that I am no stranger to the outside world. The more lonely you are, the stronger you have to be, although the master has given up on himself, and now he seems to be cornered, but he can't sink, he can't give up on himself, he can't lose his direction, the more difficult it is, the more he must grasp himself, and cultivate his heart to be stronger, when you are weak, the enemy is the most, and when you are strong enough, they will automatically disappear.

On this day, she walked into a small county town, which was located at the foot of a large mountain, and the streets were very prosperous, with wine shops and inns lined up on both sides of the street, and people came and went.

It was nearly dusk, so Yuhan found a clean inn to stay in, and prepared to leave the next morning.

The shopkeeper politely brought Yuhan into a guest room on the second floor, and greeted warmly: "Guest officer, this is a first-class room, ventilation and landscape are the best, I will call you for hot water in a moment, you can eat in the dining room on the first floor, and you can also send meals to your room, you see, do you need it?"

Yuhan smiled slightly and said, "You can send hot water here, and I'll go downstairs to eat later." ”

Xiao Er went downstairs after agreeing, Yuhan tidied up her bags, and when Xiao Er sent hot water, she washed her face with hot water, and suddenly felt refreshed, so she went down to the first floor to prepare for dinner.

There are a lot of people in the dining room, all of them are people from all walks of life who come to ****, some are eating, some are drinking, so lively, dressed in shape. Yuhan looked for a long time and there was no vacancy, she looked around and found that only two tables were occupied by a single person. At a table sat a little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, dressed ordinarily, dusty, a little tired, quite watery, with fine skin and tender meat, and a small cloth bag next to her, eating a bowl of noodles.

At the table next to her sat a middle-aged man of nearly fifty years old, dressed plainly, clean and tidy, but with an extraordinary bearing, with a lock of black beard, a decent and solemn appearance, elegant speech and demeanor, and extremely restrained.

She walked to the little girl's table, smiled softly and asked, "This little sister, can I sit here and have a meal?"

The little girl was excited, as if she was frightened, she looked up at Yuhan, and found that it was a handsome sister in white, her face was red, she smiled slightly, nodded, and continued to eat her own noodles.

Yuhan beckoned, asked Xiao Er to come over, ordered two side dishes and a pot of tea, and slowly sat down while drinking tea and waiting for the food to be served, while looking at this little girl leisurely.

Yuhan smiled and asked, "Little sister, are you a local?"

The little girl was stunned and said timidly: "No, but the house is not too far away." ”

"Oh, you're out there alone?"

The little girl nodded, and Yuhan hurriedly said, "It's not safe like this!

The little girl nodded vigorously and shook her head, and whispered: "I am from Wangjiazhuang in the next county, called Wang Ying'er, and I went to the state city to visit relatives, but..."

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, and a few people came in from the curtain, and in front of him was a man in the prime of life, who looked like a monkey, skinny, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he was followed by five or six officials.

As soon as they broke into the house, they began to look around at everyone in the restaurant, as if they were looking for someone, and suddenly, the monkey-faced man saw Ying'er who was eating noodles with his head down, and a treacherous smile suddenly appeared on his face, he pointed his hand and shouted: "This stinky girl is there, go and catch her." ”

The five officials hurriedly approached the little girl, Ying'er hurriedly stood up, and leaned over to Yuhan's side, and the hall suddenly became in an uproar.

Ying'er looked at Yuhan eagerly and said softly, "Sister save me." ”

Yuhan stood up to block these officials and was about to ask what was going on, when the middle-aged uncle next to him put the teacup on the table and asked sharply: "Why do you want to arrest her?

Ying'er took the opportunity to hide behind Yuhan, the officials looked at each other, shocked by this person's momentum, and did not dare to move, at this time the monkey-faced man stepped forward, arched his hand, and said to everyone, and said: "Fellow villagers, this little girl, it looks like she is well-behaved and cute, don't let her rhetoric and pitiful appearance be deceived, in fact, she is a heinous human trafficker, no, I reported to the official, the official is arresting her." ”

Suddenly, the hall exploded, and all kinds of discussions arose, "It's a human trafficker? How is it possible, at such a young age, is it a mistake?"

"Human traffickers are the most hateful, and they should be arrested and brought to justice on the spot. ”

"No, the little girl would do these things?"

"Alas, what's the situation, even a little girl has become a human trafficker?"

......

Yuhan also felt strange, she turned to look at this Ying'er inquiringly, Ying'er shook her head, and muttered: "No, no, I'm not a human trafficker." ”

The middle-aged man stood up, looked at the monkey-faced man, and said righteously: "Why do you say that the little girl is a human trafficker? Even if she is not sold by others, even if she is good, she can still sell others, ridiculous, do you have a certificate?"

The monkey-faced man was also anxious, and shouted: "Hey, who are you? She sold my wife, isn't this a fact, not a proof?"

Ying'er dodged behind the middle-aged man and whispered, "No, no, uncle save me!"

At this time, a person who looked like a head catcher took out a manuscript from his arms, which was an arrest warrant, and shouted: "There is an official notice here, we are ordered to arrest this trafficker, and others must not interfere." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at it and was silent.

The official rushed up and pressed the little girl down, and Ying'er shouted complainingly: "Uncle save me!"

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.

Ying'er looked at Yuhan pitifully with begging eyes: "Sister save me! sister save me..."

But everyone had to watch as the official escorted the little girl out of the hall door.
