Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 21 The Uninvited Guest

On a snowy day, an unexpected visitor came to Wuzhang Village.

A scribe and a swordsman stumbled and helped each other into the village.

Covered in mud and embarrassed, the two knocked on the door of the villagers' house against the wind and snow, and found the village chief's house under the guidance of the villagers.

One of them was named Wenshu and the other was named Shenwu, and they were followers of Hu Guoshizichao.

After a while, the village chief's house was in a state of chaos.Some people ran into the kitchen to boil water for cooking, and some went out to find someone.

After a while, Wen Shu and Shen Wu took a brief wash, put on new coats, and ate hot meals.

In order to entertain the distinguished guests, the village chief asked his family to disassemble a whole air-dried chicken.

The skeleton is used to make soup, and the meat is steamed on the pot to make it fragrant and fresh.Mushrooms are added to the soup to enhance its freshness, making it soft and delicious.Millet cakes are fried on both sides, crispy and delicious.Add a plate of fried yellow sprout heart.

Although there is only one vegetable, one meat and one soup, it is a rare luxury in this worldly farmer's house.

If the situation in the village hadn't improved a lot in the past two years, the village head's family would have given these to entertain the old owner.

Wen Shu claims to be the grandson of Dr. Wen Shang.

The village chief has never seen him, but the token on his body should not be counterfeit.Since he is from the Wen family, he is the former owner of the village chief's family.

The Wen family has never given favor to the village chief's family, so morally speaking, the village chief can deny him.

But in this era, the common people have a natural fear and yearning for the housekeeper.

The village chief entertained him with the best things, almost without thinking.

If he was in the capital, Wen Shu would not have liked the food on the table, but now he was holding the steaming wooden bowl in both hands, and his nose was sore.

In order to avoid Zheng Jun's pursuit, they hadn't eaten much for three days and three nights.

Shen Wu, who was sitting next to Wen Shu, was even more imageless than him. He chewed soup with one hand and meat with the other, with snot and tears streaming out without even bothering to wipe them off.

Wen Shu glanced at Shen Wu sideways, took a sip, and his whole body immediately felt refreshed, but the sadness on his face couldn't be removed.

Why is he distressed?Just because they escaped from the capital.

This remark should start with the doctor Wenshang, that is, Wen Shu's grandfather.

Doctor Wen Shang failed to fight for power in the court and was framed by his opponents. Fortunately, Duke Nianjiu only demoted the Wen family to common people, confiscated most of the family wealth and left some for the Wen family.

In this era, leaving the capital meant leaving the center of power.Wen Jia is obviously not so easy to be mediocre.

Relying on the savings in their hands and the money that the Wen family hid in the dark, the Wen family is still firmly active in the capital.

In fact, Wen Jialai stayed in the capital to save his life.

Doctor Wen has been in power for many years and has made many enemies.Once his family left the capital, they might not know how they died.

After years of tossing and tossing, the efforts of the Wen family really paid off, and Wen Shu, the grandson, was sent to the family of the eldest son.

Hu Guoshi Zichao is the only son of Hu Guogong and Zheng Ji, and he will inherit the national order in the future.At that time, Wen Shu will have the merits of a dragon, and the day of the Wen family's re-entry into the imperial court can be expected.

In the past two years, Zheng Guogong took a break from the war and became obsessed with alchemy, and Hu Guo could finally relax and take a breather.

This year Zheng Guogong also sent someone to Hu Guogong to send the refined golden elixir.

Seeing Zheng Guo's golden elixir, Hu Guogong and all the ministers felt relieved.

The country of Hua has been a little on the verge of making troubles these past few years, and the middle school is worrying about it.After the negotiations between the DPRK and China, all the national troops were withdrawn from the border of Zheng State and replaced by the border with Hua State.

It has been half a year since this incident, and everyone is in peace.Who would have thought that the mutation was just three days ago.

Zheng Jun raided Hu State.

Since there was no one on the border, Zheng Jun was only ten miles away from the capital when Hu Guochaozhong knew about it.

Fighting in a hurry, there are less than three hundred soldiers in the city, and the rest are ordinary people.

There are no generals in the city who are suitable for defending the city, so the monarch personally ascends the tower to command.It's a pity that they didn't even last for an hour, and the city gate was broken.

Hu Guogong was killed, and Zheng Ji tried her best to keep her son.After that, Zheng Ji even tried to send Shi Zichao out of the capital, and then committed suicide under the city gate on the spot.

Too late to be sad, Shi Zichao fled in embarrassment surrounded by all the disciples and guards.In order to get rid of Zheng Jun's pursuit, they abandoned the carriage, and some doormen voluntarily acted as bait to mislead Zheng Jun.

Hu country, a tiny country.

There are only two cities in the country, one is the capital and the other is Bancheng.The capital has been broken, and Bancheng will not be spared.

The world is vast, and the prince has nothing to do with his party.

Shi Zichao asked everyone: "The world is so big, where can I go?"

Everyone was silent, so Wen Shu boldly put forward a suggestion.

In the study of Wen Shu's grandfather, there is a pair of "Hu Guokan Map".Grandfather once pointed to this picture to point out Jiangshan.

It was also at that time that Wen Shu knew that there was another property of his family next to the savage village named Wuzhang Village outside Bancheng.

Wen Shu has never been to the Hot Spring Villa, and only remembers the approximate location on the map.

They dare not take the main road, so they can only climb mountains and mountains, wherever they are remote.

It snowed for three days and they walked for three days.

The escape was too hasty, they only brought a little rations, and fortunately there was snow water to satisfy their hunger, and in the end they persisted almost entirely by their survival instincts.

But they still got lost.Somehow he escaped into the Little Kunlun Mountains.

Wen Shu and Shen Wu Ben lead the way.As the snow covered the road ahead, they stepped on the air and fell down the mountain.

Thanks to the thick snow layer, they rolled all the way down the mountain without any serious problems.It was a blessing in disguise, and found a path leading to the village at the foot of the mountain.

It was a near-death experience.

However, Shi Zichao and others are still trapped on the mountain, and it is not known whether they will follow the traces of their fall down the mountain.

But the wind and snow outside are very strong, and the traces will soon be covered with snow.Without traces, neither Wen Shu nor Shen Wu could find them along the way.

The two sat in the room silently after eating and drinking.The two are disciples of Shi Zichao, but at the moment they have their own thoughts.

The capital of Hu State was captured by Zheng Jun, Hu Guogong was killed by Zheng Jun, and Shi Zichao's biological mother was Zheng Ji.

It is impossible to say that the Hu people do not hate Zheng Ji, and it is understandable to blame Shi Zichao for this.

But Zheng Ji had committed suicide and apologized, and sent her son to flee.Shi Zichao and Zheng Guo no longer have family ties, only the hatred of the country and the family.

Shen Wu is a swordsman and could have left on his own.He chose to follow Shi Zichao, because he had some thoughts in his heart, and he didn't want to give up Shi Zi.

After a while, it was Shin-oh who broke the silence.

"No matter what, always go back and look for it."

"Of course, but how can we find it? The snowstorm is so heavy, and the footprints we left behind are gone. How can we find it? Can you remember the way?"

"Wen Shu, it was you who advised the prince to take refuge here, and the prince is still trapped on the mountain, can you sleep well?"

Wen Shu was silent.He is terrified of death.

After Zheng Jun entered the city, he massacred in the city, and his relatives may have died.

Wen Shu escaped from the capital with the son, because this was the only chance of escape.

Now that he has left the capital, if he takes the opportunity to leave Shizi, he can survive even as a savage.If you continue to follow Shizi, you can only continue to escape.
