Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 160: Saving people from the tiger’s mouth (please subscribe)

Now that I plan to leave Beijing, I have to arrange many things.

On the other hand, the Sheng family's main house has also completed its engagement, and the wedding date is set for November [-]th.

After the marriage was settled, Sheng Wei returned to Youyang to prepare.

On the morning of October 28, Sheng Hong led a family of young people and sent the old lady out of the house.

"Mom, if you feel any discomfort on the way, stop the boat and rest, and be sure to pay attention to your health. When you get back, give your son a good word for your aunt," Sheng Hong warned.

"My daughter-in-law is really unfilial. There are so many things going on in the family that she cannot serve her mother. Hua Lan Minglan, you must take good care of your grandma, you know." Mrs. Wang said with a blush on her face.

When the old lady left, not only did the housekeeping power come into her hands, but there was no one above her to hold her down, but she was extremely happy.

"Okay, it's getting late, don't delay, let's go." The old lady said.

"The son helped his mother get into the car."

Sheng Hong stepped forward and helped the old lady get into the car, and said to Yuan Wenshao: "Erlang, all the women are going there this time. You are just a man. The journey will be more difficult."

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I have brought twenty soldiers. They are all good soldiers and there will be no danger." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Well, go ahead." Sheng Hong nodded.

After everyone got on the carriage, the carriage drove away like a dock.

"Guardian, you said that my silly sister got a string of beads from the Qi family. She takes it with her every day to participate in poetry gatherings and other events. When she meets people, she tells everyone that it was given to her by Young Master Qi who recognized her. I'm afraid she doesn't even know who she is. What does it represent?" Hua Lan said.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Isn't this good? Look at how thin the sixth sister has become because of this."

More than a month has passed, and Minglan seems to be fine on the surface, but she has become much thinner.

"Sigh." Hua Lan sighed and said, "I'm not saying this is bad. My sister actually has no idea about the young master. She had been getting close to him before, just to fight against Mo Lan. . What I'm worried about is that with her temperament, how will she get married in the future?"

"My mother only wanted her to marry well, and she would have to suffer hardships when she gets married in the future."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Yuan Wenshao smiled and shook his head.

Many people say that Ru Lan's character is very similar to that of later generations, but this is not the case.

She is the eldest daughter who was spoiled by her parents, and she will be considered a fool in future generations.

Such a personality also has the advantage of being big-hearted and not having so many worries.

"The official is right. I used to think that Mo Lan was the smartest among our sisters. I didn't expect that she would not give up on the young master. She actually asked Lin Xiaoniang to beg her father and let her father go to the Qi family to envoy Power." Hua Lan smiled.

"What did the father-in-law say?" Yuan Wenshao asked curiously.

"What else can I say? Dad was so angry at the time that he didn't want to say anything to her and went back to Wei Ruixuan directly," Hua Lan said.

This is in line with Sheng Hong's character. Sheng Hong is very face-conscious and somewhat pretentious.

In the original drama, in order to marry Minglan, Gu Tingye first asked to marry Rulan, and deliberately planned to take Changbai to find out that Rulan was having an affair with someone, and took the opportunity to marry Minglan instead.

The old lady naturally disagreed, and Sheng Hong did not insist on this matter.

In his mind, it was a good thing to have an official celebrity like Gu Tingye and the future marquis as his son-in-law.

Even if you refuse, you can gain a good reputation as someone who doesn't cling to the rich and powerful, and you can earn money from both sides.

With his character, let alone the Qi family disagreeing, even if the Qi family had this idea, he would not be able to take the initiative to go to the Qi family.

There is such a big gap between the two families. If he took the initiative, others would not know what to say about him.

While talking, the car arrived at the dock.

The maid servants carried the things onto the boat and everyone boarded the boat.

After setting sail, the old lady said: "Okay, you all go back to your rooms to clean up."

"Yes."

Yuan Wenshao's family said goodbye to the old lady and returned to their room.

Hua Lan ordered his subordinates to arrange the arrangements. They would have to live on the ship for nearly ten days without stopping, so they naturally had to take care of themselves.

"Dad, please take me up there to see the scenery." Sister Wen pulled Yuan Wenshao and said.

"it is good."

Yuan Wenshao did not refuse and said, "Madam, let's go together and let the servants clean up the house."

"You go ahead, I won't go. It's windy outside, so Chunhua found the cloak and put it on them." Hua Lan said.

"Yes." Chunhua found the cloak.

The father and daughter put on their cloaks and left the cabin.

The scenery on both sides of the canal is indeed good, but it gets a bit boring after looking at it for a long time.

Sister Wen lost interest after watching it for a while and went to play with Minglan.

Yuan Wenshao was standing alone in Class A blowing the wind, which was quite comfortable.

In fact, the waterway they are taking now is not the Grand Canal, but the Tongluo Canal.

After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, he ordered people to dig a waterway connecting the canal from Luoyang to Qingjiang River, which was called Tongluo Canal.

It is called that because many people refer to it as a canal.

After all, the old lady was old, and she felt dizzy on the second day of departure.

Minglan didn't get seasick in the first place, because she had eaten very little during this period, was weak, and felt a little seasick.

Fortunately, Yuan Wenshao was well prepared and specially hired a doctor.

After the doctor looked at it, he said it was nothing serious and he could just take some medicine and rest for a few days.

"Grandma, stay ashore for two days and wait until you and Sixth Sister feel better before setting off." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hearing this, the old lady shook her head and said, "No, the doctor said it's nothing serious. It's just that I was a little uncomfortable getting on the boat at the beginning."

"Grandma, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your sixth sister. She is weak and will continue to travel without support. If anything happens..."

The reason why Yuan Wenshao wanted to stop was because he was in front of Xuzhou, which was later known as Xuchang.

Not far from Xuzhou is Yuzhou. If he could stop, he could just find a chance to visit Yuzhou.

"Yes, grandma, there is still time anyway, let's rest for a few days before leaving." Hua Lan also advised.

"Okay." The old lady finally nodded after hearing this.

She was mainly worried about Minglan. If she continued to travel, it would be troublesome if a minor illness turned into a serious one.

After the old lady agreed, Yuan Wenshao ordered the boatman to dock at Xuzhou Pier.

When the ship docked, Yuan Wenshao sent someone to rent a yard in Xuzhou City, and the group entered the city.

Early the next morning, Yuan Wenshao found an excuse and said he was going hunting and left the city.

Yuzhou is not far from Xuzhou, and the two places are connected by mountains.

Yuan Wenshao said it was hunting, so naturally he did everything he could.

He didn't know if anyone was watching him in Lijing this time, so he had to be careful.

While walking in the mountains, the soldiers who were exploring the road came back to report: "Uncle, there are more than a dozen people not far ahead. It seems they are here to hunt. Do you want to get out of the way?"

"How far is it from Yuzhou now?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"If we don't take a detour, we can arrive in more than an hour. If we take a detour, it will take more than half an hour." The soldier replied.

Yuan Wenshao looked at the sky and said, "Then there's no need to take a detour. Let's go directly."

It was almost noon now, and he would definitely have to rush back in the evening. If he took a detour, he would not have enough time. "Roar!"

At this moment, there was a sudden tiger roar.

"Master, listen to this cry, that big insect is not far from here, we'd better avoid it." Zhang An said with a change of expression.

"go!"

Yuan Wenshao had no intention of becoming a tiger-fighting hero.

Tigers are so big. They are extremely fast and powerful in the mountains and forests, making them difficult to deal with.

Although Yuan Wenshao was good at martial arts, he did not want to take risks.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the woods ahead. Yuan Wenshao looked for the sound and saw seven or eight people running towards this side in a panic.

There were screams behind them, and it was obvious that someone had been killed.

"Roar!"

An angry roar came from this direction.

"Damn, what on earth did these people do? Why is the tiger chasing them?"

Yuan Wenshao cursed secretly, beckoning Zhang An and his guards to run away.

Generally speaking, tigers rarely attack humans unless they are hungry or when humans enter their territory.

Because from a tiger's perspective, humans are taller than it, and from its perspective, it's not sure whether humans are a threat to it.

Humans hunt not only to fill their stomachs, but also for profit.

Animals are different. As long as they are not threatened or their territory is invaded, animals will not keep hunting after they are full.

But now this tiger, even if it is hungry and attacks humans, it should eat its fill first after it has already caught the prey. There is no reason to keep chasing.

This group of people must have done something to anger the tiger.

Just when Yuan Wenshao was about to run away, he suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang An, give me the bow."

This hunting trip into the mountains was just a pretense, so the bow was carried by Zhang An.

"Uncle..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Yuan Wenshao shouted.

The cloud follows the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

The tiger was very fast. As he spoke, Yuan Wenshao saw the tiger kill two people who wanted to stop him. The two men were strong and powerful, but they had no ability to resist in front of the tiger.

Zhang An did not dare to say anything more and quickly handed the bow to Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao took the bow, drew an arrow from Zhang An's back, nocked the bow and drew the arrow, aiming at the tiger.

"Da Lang, you can leave first in a moment, I will bring someone to delay you for a while."

Shen Congxing heard the screams from the guards behind him and the roar of the tiger getting closer, and said loudly to Zhao Ceying.

"No, if uncle wants to stop him, I will stop him. If I hadn't come to hunt, I wouldn't be in danger." Zhao Ceying said as he ran.

That's right, the young people leading this group are Zhao Ceying, son of Zhao Zongquan, and Shen Congxing, Zhao Zongquan's brother-in-law.

Yuan Wenshao stopped because he recognized the two of them.

Although he has never met the two of them, they are exactly the same as in the play, so he can naturally recognize them.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you keep doing this, neither of us can run away. If something happens to you, I won't have the nerve to see my sister." Shen Congxing shouted.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew past Shen Congxing not far away with a sound of breaking through the air.

Shen Congxing looked back and saw that the tiger had just killed a guard. When he jumped forward and was about to pursue, the sharp arrow hit the tiger in the forehead.

The tiger's jumping body fell to the ground and fell motionless.

Zhao Ceying was being pulled by Shen Congxing and running. When Shen Congxing stopped, he naturally stopped too.

Seeing that the tiger was dead, his tense nerves relaxed. A feeling of fatigue came over him, and he collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath.

Shen Congxing was similar, but he just sat on the ground and panted, while looking warily at Yuan Wenshao and his group in the distance.

Yuan Wenshao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had shot the tiger. He had been meowing for a while, but he was still unsure. The tiger was too fast and it was difficult to aim while jumping.

It wasn't until the tiger pounced on someone and slowed down that he found an opportunity.

Yuan Wenshao threw his bow to Zhang An and walked forward. When he was more than ten steps away from the two of them, he stopped and asked, "Are you two okay?"

Shen Congxing supported the tree next to him, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, brother. I can't repay you for saving my life. I dare to ask my benefactor's name."

"My lord, Yuan Wenshao, it just happens to be a meeting." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

It is precisely when you step through the iron shoes that there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

He originally wanted to go to Yuzhou to see if he could find a chance to get acquainted with Zhao Zongquan.

As a result, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing were rescued halfway.

A future prince and a future uncle, although not as good as Gu Tingye's rescue of Zhao Zongquan and his son, his contribution is not small.

Zhao Ceying was helped up by the remaining three guards. Hearing this, he was surprised and said: "But in front of Uncle Zhongyong?"

"Exactly, I wonder what you call them?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Although he had confirmed it by looking at his face, he was still a little worried.

"I am Shen Congxing, the commander of the Xiang Army in Xia Yuzhou. This is my nephew Zhao Ceying." Shen Congxing introduced.

Knowing Yuan Wenshao's identity and that Yuan Wenshao had just rescued them, Shen Congxing also let down his guard.

Yuan Wenshao asked someone to clear a place, found a place to clean some of the prey they caught on the road, lit a fire and grilled it, and sat down and chatted with Shen Congxing and Zhao Ceying.

From their mouths, they also knew why the tiger kept chasing them.

The two of them went hunting in the mountains with their guards. Not long ago, they shot and killed a half-grown tiger, only to be chased by the tiger.

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless one male and one female is not correct, there can still be tiger cubs.

Apparently they encountered a tiger mother out hunting with her cubs.

They killed the cub, no wonder the tiger kept chasing them.

"By the way, why did Uncle Yuan appear here?" Shen Congxing asked curiously.

"Haha, I went to Jinling. The female family members were not used to the boat ride, so they stopped in Xuzhou to rest for a few days. I had nothing to do, so I went out to hunt." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Uncle Yuan has superb archery skills. He can kill a tiger with one arrow, which is admirable. If it hadn't been for him today, my uncle and I would have died. Uncle Yuan must go to Yuzhou with me to play and let me be a landlord. Friendship." Zhao Ceying stood up and cupped her hands.

"Don't be so polite. It's just the right time. Naturally, I can't just die without saving him." Yuan Wenshao helped Zhao Ceying up and said.

In fact, he was planning to run away at first.

Although he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Zhao Zongquan, he gave up after thinking about it carefully.

If you go, firstly, you will waste a lot of time. Secondly, if you thank me for saving your life, the kindness will fade a lot.

Now Zhao Zongquan is just a regimental envoy, a sixth-grade official, it is better to wait until he becomes the emperor, then the gratitude will be real.

　Something delayed me today, so I'm a little late. Sorry.
