Chapter 8
Chapter 8
The entire dense forest is so big, where is it safe?Xiangxiang didn't know, she changed places one after another.Li Lin didn't have extra manpower to chase her, so he only sent two soldiers into the woods to have a look.This is not a person worth looking for—a concubine that Murong Li threw away casually, even if caught, what's the use?
Two soldiers entered the forest, and it was a difficult task for them to search a dense forest, but it was a very simple matter to chase a woman, a woman who had no experience in escaping.
After Xiangxiang gave birth to her child, she was already in poor health, so she couldn't bear to keep on traveling like this.Where can she go fast?What's more, there is no time to clean up the traces along the way.
The two soldiers were getting closer and closer, Xiangxiang was trembling all over, and the forgotten days of Mount Yilu suddenly surfaced like that.No, don't be too scared.She forced herself to calm down and think about why they came after them so directly.Yes, it must be too careless when walking, revealing whereabouts.She started to slow down, walking lightly through the dense forest, and consciously or unintentionally concealed the footprints she left.The speed of the two people behind them slowed down as expected, Xiangxiang bit her hand to keep herself from crying.Tears flowed down the back of the hand and dripped among the dead leaves.
She hid in a mountain depression, and heard the voices of two people faintly coming, but slowly but disappeared.She didn't dare to come out, could someone be hiding in the dark just to wait for her to throw herself into the trap?She didn't let herself tremble, so as not to shake the blades of grass around her, her teeth made deep marks on her hand.
The light of the setting sun penetrated the leaves of the dense forest and sprinkled on her body finely.She sobbed and sat hugging her knees, her long hair loosened and draped over her shoulders.
She really wants to go home, but she has no home.Lingzhi County is no longer her home. One day, when everyone thinks that you are living a very happy life, you will only be happy, only happy.You can't tell them about your pain, you can't let them see your wounds.Because the wounds on your body can only make those who love you sad, and make those who hate you gloat.Complaining is useless.
King Xun's mansion is not her home either.Originally, she had accepted her fate, so in this life, she will be a good concubine, neither contending nor jealous, bearing children, and serving her husband.I think that if life can be like this, it can't be considered unhappy.But it turned out that she didn't actually have a husband, and that wasn't a tree that could rely on her.The so-called concubine is doomed to be neglected and despised, her beauty has not faded, and she is already lonely.
The sky was getting dark, the twilight was entering the forest, and the fog was rising among the fallen leaves.The cool wind passed through her clothes, she was a little cold, her hands tightly wrapped around her shoulders, the excessive fear exhausted all her physical strength.Those who hunted him must have left.
Xiangxiang sat down slowly, she had to be alive, but the night was dark and she couldn't move around. She would check the situation after dawn, she closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Murong Li rushed out of the mountain ridge, immediately changed horses, and led Su Jing to flee all the way, and arrived at the place agreed with Han Xu in the middle of the night.When Han Xu came back this time, he didn't dare to bring too many people with him.There are only a hundred or so veterans around him, and they are all brothers who followed him and Murong Li in the north and south.
They were originally standing like a plate of loose sand, but as soon as Murong Li arrived, they immediately stood up, all of them with straight postures and serious eyebrows.Murong Li got off his horse, and everyone immediately half-kneeled and saluted: "My lord!"
Murong Li waved his hand, signaling Han Xu to take Su Jing to his room to rest, and then asked, "Is there any news about King Kang?"
Han Xu said: "People have been sent to meet them, and we agreed to use fireworks as the name. There is no news now, it should be safe."
Murong Li nodded: "Change horses, contact trusted generals, and if there is any bad news in Jinyang City, prepare to start an incident immediately!"
Han Xu responded, Murong paused, and suddenly said: "You send a familiar and trustworthy brother to sneak back to the dense forest two hundred miles away from the eastern suburbs of Jinyang City and find that woman. If she is still alive, send her She got out."
Han Xu was taken aback - what woman?Isn't the princess here?
He suddenly came back to his senses: "Guo Xiangxiang?"
Murong Li slowly turned his face away and said, "Yes."
Han Xu was startled, and then said softly, "Master, she has the guts to trust the brothers we sent."
Murong Li was startled, and suddenly thought of those terrified eyes when they first met.If the prince's people found her, she must be dead, right?
Murong Li clenched his hands slowly, and Han Xu said softly: "If you don't worry, the general will go there in person. She knows the general and knows that he is the prince's person, so she will follow." If she is still alive.
Murong Li was silent.You shouldn't do this. There are many people who know Han Xu in Jinyang City. It is very dangerous for him to go there in person.And once the prince learns that he actually sent Han Xu to save that woman, he will think that woman is very important to him... The chances of both of them surviving are not great.
He turned his head and said: "No need." He turned and walked into the house, after dinner, he needed to rush to Pingduguan.Murong Bo cannot mobilize the generals by himself, he must arrive at the same time.
But I don't know why, but I think of her standing on the Jinji Ancient Road in a daze when the sun was setting, like a little white rabbit released in the Tiger's Field, not knowing where to go.
While Murong Li was washing up, Han Xu called his lieutenant, Chen Zhao, and confessed: "I'll hurry back, and if there is no accident, I will be able to meet you in Daji City one day later. You, my lord, take care of you. "
Chen Zhao was tongue-tied: "General, general, general, general..." Don't you want me to serve the prince?My head is not strong enough, General!
Han Xu kicked over with one kick, what a fart!Turn around and lead the horse, out of here, go straight to Jinji Ancient Road.
It was almost dawn, so Han Xu lit a torch and searched the forest for a long time.However, the light was not good after all, and when he found the place where Xiangxiang fled in a hurry, there was no trace to follow.
Seeing that there was no one in the forest, he said softly, "Mrs. Xiang? Are you there?"
When there was no response, he plucked the grass and shouted, "Mrs. Xiang? Guo Xiangxiang!"
Xiangxiang thought she was dreaming, and after she was awakened, she heard someone calling her.She sat up and couldn't hear whose voice it was.No, don't fall into other people's hands again!She held the hairpin in her hand, don't let it fall into other people's hands again!But God bless the people who came from Murong Li or Murong Bo.But there is a trace of life, and they don't want to die here.If he really died, he would never see his parents again.Xuanxuan is still so young, if there is no mother, I don't know how pitiful she will be in the future.She gently pushed aside the dead leaves in front of her, and looked out under the vegetation.
Almost at the same time, Han Xu also saw her!Thank goodness she's still alive!Just as Han Xu was about to step forward, he found that she was holding a hairpin in her hand, and said softly, "Mrs. Xiang, it's me! Prince Xun, do you still know me? My name is Han Xu!"
Xiangxiang's whole body seemed to lose all strength, and she slipped softly in the col.Han Xu stepped forward and helped her up: "The prince's people are all around the checkpoint, we must leave immediately." Xiangxiang suddenly put her arms around his neck.
At that time, it was late July, a scorching summer day, and she was wearing thin clothes. She hid in the forest all night and was soaked by dew again.Han Xu was slightly taken aback, only to feel that the body thrown into his arms was soft and fragrant.He separated her, and her tears just fell on his shoulders, one by one separated by the fabric, hot as fire.He was about to push her hand away, so he patted her on the back lightly: "It's all right, it's all right."
Xiangxiang didn't cry for a long time. After being captured and sold to other tribes, she couldn't cry for a long time.She wiped away her tears, and felt that it was not good to hold Han Xu like this, so she said softly, "I'm sorry, thank you."
Han Xu smiled: "Let's go."
Xiangxiang walked slowly, the sky was only dim, and the vegetation in the woods had only shadows of different shades.She had a deep foot and a shallow foot, and it was very difficult for her to walk.The clothes on his body are wet, and the wind blows them, making him feel even cooler.She shrank her shoulders slightly, Han Xu sighed, said offended, turned around, picked her up, and carried her out on his shoulders.When we arrived outside the forest, the sky was already bright.
Since Murong Bo and Murong Li escaped yesterday, the checkpoint here has been under martial law, and the interrogation is very meticulous.People like Han Xu often show their faces in the army, and they will never get away with it.He took Xiangxiang to a winery, the owner of the winery saw him, kept his face, and let him inside.
The inner room was obviously the owner's own residence, so Han Xu didn't pay much attention, so he found two clean clothes and handed them to Xiangxiang: "Change first."
Xiangxiang's face turned red, and Han Xu thought she was shy and didn't pay much attention.He turned his back, and Xiangxiang began to change clothes.
The owner of the winery has been selling wine outside, and only hurried in when he was done.Han Xu asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"
The owner of the wine shop replied: "There is a tight search outside. Captain She Sheng sent another army and horses here, and there are heavy guards everywhere. I am afraid that the general will not be able to go out for the time being."
Han Xu frowned, as expected Murong Li was right in thinking.It's just that Xiangxiang is his daughter's biological mother anyway, if she was really eaten by wild beasts in the mountains... what would happen to that man?Going back this time, he will inevitably beat her up, alas, admit it.
After the two of them finished talking, Han Xu returned to the room and found Xiangxiang leaning on the couch, falling asleep.Her long hair hung down her shoulders, and she was wearing an indigo blue cloth, but her skin was more delicate and tender.The red lips are bright, and the cheeks are also delicate and pink.
This look... Han Xu hurriedly stepped forward and probed her forehead, his brows furrowed immediately, and said to the owner of the winery, "Find a doctor."
Xiangxiang was ill. She was still asleep when the doctor came, but it was not a serious illness. Last night in the forest, she was frightened and frightened, and suffered some wind and cold.
The doctor prescribed medicine and said something like be careful and raise it.
Han Xu sent the doctor out and asked the owner of the winery to go out to get medicine.
The owner of the wine shop listened to him very much - his son was under Han Xu's tent, so he dared not be disobedient.
When Xiangxiang woke up, there was no one in the room.She came out of the room and saw Han Xu lighting the stove in the small courtyard.Han Xu wore a light gray scribe gown, and tied his hair up in a scholarly bun with a blue scarf.He was already somewhat bookish, so dressed like a scholar.However, he was very proficient in lighting the stove, and the charcoal fire was already burning in a short while.
Xiangxiang walked over, and Han Xu also saw her, and said, "I'm planning to decoct the medicine, you should rest first."
Xiangxiang squatted down: "I'll do it."
Han Xu just skillfully put the medicine jar on, poured the medicine into it, and added three bowls of water.Xiangxiang was surprised: "I didn't expect you to be good at doing these things."
Han Xu smiled: "When I was young, my family was poor, so it was inevitable that I knew everything."
Xiangxiang actually didn't like him. He used to force her to follow Murong Li with soft and hard tactics, and he felt that he was not a good person. In comparison, Zhou Zhuo was more open-minded than him.Anyway, I was idle at this time, so I chatted with him: "Is it poorer than my hometown?"
Han Xu smiled: "Although Lingzhi is remote and plagued by bandits, it doesn't have a tyrannical government, so it's not too bad. The imperial capital is busy, and there are also families with no means of food and clothing. If it was at that time, I wouldn't be able to afford a family like yours."
Green smoke rose in plumes and lingered over his eyebrows, Xiangxiang felt that he was actually quite good-looking.She even showed a smile: "Now everyone in Jinyang City is a lady, you can pick and choose to marry."
Han Xu laughed, and said, "Actually, at that time..." He glanced at Xiangxiang and didn't continue.In fact, at that time, I also hoped to marry a quiet and delicate woman who could sew, mend, wash, and add fragrance to her sleeves.If you are greedy for the love of your sons and daughters, why are you afraid of being short-tempered by heroes?Until now, I don't want to marry any lady from a great family.What's the point of respecting each other as guests for a lifetime?
It's just that these words should not be said to her, so Han Xu just said: "Now he is only a traitor. If King Kang becomes the throne, he must be able to pick and choose."
Xiangxiang took the fan in his hand and gently fanned the fire.Han Xu asked, "Do you still hate me now?" Xiangxiang was startled and said nothing.Han Xu laughed again: "There's nothing I can do if I hate it. If I have a background like Zhou Zhuo, I won't do such a thing." With a humble background, one must know how to read people's eyes and figure out the commander's mind. Military achievements can't just rely on one hand Go hang out.He suddenly laughed again: "If he really doesn't like it, I still think about getting it myself."
Xiangxiang blushed, thinking of Zhou Zhuo's appearance at that time, she was immediately annoyed.Han Xu looked at what he was saying, of course he saw it, and said, "I can't protect Zhou Zhuo, either. You can't turn against your brother for a woman, right?"
Xiangxiang asked: "In your eyes, women are just playthings, right?" Zhou Zhuo, you, Murong Li, and even Murong Bo, are they all like this?
Han Xu thought for a while and said, "I don't know about others, but to me, even playthings are very luxurious, very luxurious playthings."
The medicine fragrance slowly overflowed from the medicine jar, and the water began to churn, Xiangxiang took a rag to remove the lid.Han Xu took the rag, waved her away, and said softly, "Be careful of the burn!" His voice was too close, and as he brushed past his ear, Xiangxiang avoided it as if he had been really burned.
She got up, and wanted to cook something, but the place was unfamiliar, and the owner of the wine shop didn't know where to go. She couldn't find the place for a while, and she couldn't help it.
Han Xu said, "If you're sick, rest well and don't run around. If you die here, I'll be in vain."
Xiangxiang said, "You can't go out either, can you?"
Han Xu murmured, and comforted: "Don't worry, the prince knows that the two princes have left Jinji Ancient Road, and we won't be strictly investigating here for too long. It will be fine if the wind passes."
Xiangxiang lowered her head and said, "He didn't allow you to come, did he?"
Han Xu was taken aback, and she said, "Thank you."
Han Xu found it interesting: "Thank you?"
Xiangxiang nodded: "Thank you for allowing me to be alive and have the opportunity to see my daughter."
Han Xu smiled: "Just do your job as a subordinate, and you can please him later."
Xiangxiang didn't speak any more, Han Xu poured out the medicine and put it aside to dry.
The owner of the wine shop outside came in with sauced beef and roast chicken.Knowing that Han Xu likes spirits, he deliberately brought out a jar of Jiuyunchun wine that had been cellared in his store for a long time.
"Old Xu," Han Xu called him after washing the medicine jar, "Madam is cold, please cook some porridge. It will be a little thicker."
Old Xu is the owner of the winery, he promised, and went to the kitchen in a hurry.Xiangxiang wanted to follow him to help him, but Han Xu said, "Take a rest first, you will be doing me a great favor by taking care of your body."
Xiangxiang had no choice but to come back, the medicine was not cold yet.Han Xu probed lightly at the side of the bowl, and took another half basin of cold water to drink it.Ask Xiangxiang: "Are you tired of meat?"
"Ah?" Before Xiangxiang understood, he saw him take a watermelon, peel off the outer skin of the melon in three or two strokes, cut off the middle skin, and cut into shreds in a few strokes.
Xiangxiang was happy, and leaned over, Han Xu salted the shredded melon skin, rolled up the sleeves of his gown slightly, revealing the strong, bronze-colored muscles underneath.
When Lao Xu finished cooking the porridge, Xiangxiang set up the bowls and chopsticks and was about to eat when Han Xu said, "Drink the medicine first."
Xiangxiang took the medicine bowl, but the medicine was extremely bitter. She took a sip, her little face wrinkled together.Han Xu and Lao Xu sat at the same table, and there was no difference in respect or inferiority.The two drank wine and ate meat, and Lao Xu asked, "How is the barbarian?"
He took it for granted that Manzi was his son.Han Xu said: "Okay, the news will pass in a few days, give him a leave of absence and let him come back to see you."
Old Xu waved his hand: "I'm fine with visiting relatives, I don't want him to come back and see."
Han Xu smiled, and when he looked up, seeing that Xiangxiang was still drinking the medicine, he almost burst out laughing.He asked, "Old Xu, no sugar?"
Old Xu grunted and said, "There's honey." As he spoke, he got up and brought over half a jar of honey.Han Xu took a spoon, scooped up a large spoonful of honey, and just mixed it into the fragrant medicine bowl.
Xiangxiang thought he was playing tricks on purpose, and was a little annoyed at first, but when she looked up, she saw that he was as casual as it should be.At that time, his sleeves had been put down, and he had slender fingers, holding a white porcelain spoon to gently stir the concoction in her hand. As the spoon rotated, his sleeves fluttered slightly, which was both elegant and beautiful.
Xiangxiang looked a little distracted, and didn't even say thank you.
After drinking the medicine, Xiangxiang scooped up a bowl of porridge, but she really felt that the meat was too greasy, so she ate with the pickled melon skin on the table.Han Xu mixed the oil in the melon skin and sprinkled some sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. It tasted good.
While she was eating, Han Xu drank with Lao Xu. Lao Xu didn't drink the Jiuyunchun wine. It was stored in the cellar in the year Manzi was born. It has been cellared for more than ten years, and it is too strong.An old man like him can't drink such strong alcohol.He scooped up some rice wine by himself and clinked glasses with Han Xu.
Han Xu felt that the wine was good, so he turned to Xiangxiang and asked, "Have some?"
"Ah?" Xiangxiang doesn't drink much, so Han Xu poured her a small amount: "Warm your body."
Xiangxiang drank it, and felt that the taste was spicy and choking, and she wanted to cry.Old Xu hurriedly said: "Drink less, drink less, the wine is strong!"
In fact, Han Xu didn't pour much, just a bowl.He didn't take it seriously, and still chatted with Lao Xu: "Go to the checkpoint tomorrow to see if there is any way to get out. It's best to see Chen Zhao." I hope to go back soon, it's been a long time There will be no good fruit to eat when I go back.
Old Xu promised that he had been running a winery in this area for many years, so it shouldn't be difficult to go out.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise, and Xiangxiang slid under the table.
Han Xu was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and then hurried to help, and saw Xiangxiang's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious.Han Xu glanced at Lao Xu, who was also looking at him, his eyes met, speechless.
Han Xu didn't dare to say who Xiangxiang was, and of course Old Xu wouldn't ask, the less he knew about this gang of soldiers, the better.
Han Xu stopped drinking, and walked into the room with Xiangxiang in his arms. The beautiful woman in his arms was soft and boneless, and his whole body was slightly hot.He felt that the wine he drank was boiling in his veins, almost burning his blood together.There was no light in the room, so he put Xiangxiang on the bed by the faint moonlight.In the milky white twilight, Yi Ren's temples were scattered slightly, with a few strands of hair sticking to her skin as delicate as porcelain.
This kind of woman is really an expensive and extravagant plaything.He pulled off the thin quilt to cover her.
Xiangxiang was drunk, but slept well.I just feel light and warm all over my body.In the dream, it was in the dense forest of Jinji Ancient Road, she was being hunted down, and there were chaotic footsteps.Someone came to her and stretched out his hand to untie her clothes. She couldn't make a sound and pushed the person hard.His mind was blurred, and he suddenly thought that the person was Murong Li, but when the person looked up, he suddenly found that it was Han Xu's face!
Xiangxiang screamed, turned over and sat up, only to realize that Nankeyimeng was nowhere to be found.But... my God!She actually dreamed of being with Han Xu... Oh my God!
She covered her eyes, but the door was suddenly pushed open.Han Xu's face was anxious: "What's the matter?"
How could Xiangxiang tell him what happened?He just said vaguely, "I had a nightmare."
It was indeed a nightmare, a terrible dream!
Han Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's still early, you can sleep for a while."
Only then did Xiangxiang realize something was wrong, and asked, "You...sleeping at my door?" You are a dog!
Han Xu closed the door for her with his backhand: "I don't worry about other places, you go to sleep."
Xiangxiang closed her eyes, opened them again after a long time, and saw his shadow looming over the carved paper on the door.
It was still dark outside, she closed her eyes, and finally fell into a deep sleep again.
Xiangxiang is 17 years old, borrowing wine business, and had a dream for the first time, dreaming that she and her husband's subordinates...
The next day, Xiangxiang got up very early.Pushing open the door, Han Xu moved the table over and placed it right in front of her door.And he was sleeping on the table, such a hard wooden table, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Xiangxiang is a little bit sorry, these people, it's not appropriate for you to classify them as good people or bad people.
Seeing that she was awake, Han Xu jumped down, moved the table away, and said, "Don't go out, don't let people see you." Afraid that she wouldn't understand, he said, "Don't do anything, it will cause trouble to the owner here." even dangerous."
Xiangxiang understood: "Got it."
She went to the yard to wash her face, and when she turned around, Han Xu had poured tea for her to rinse her mouth.Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed, but after rinsing his mouth, he gave her the medicine again.The medicine was already cold, but it was warmed with hot water.Xiangxiang only felt that this man was really careful, and when he thought about the dream last night, he looked ashamed.
Han Xu saw that her face was still red, like the tender powder on the apple, and asked suspiciously, "Has the alcohol passed away yet?"
Xiangxiang responded indiscriminately, walked quickly back to the house with the medicine in her hand, took another sip of the medicine, and found that it had been mixed with sugar, bitter and sweet.When he went out again, Lao Xu had already prepared breakfast.A pot of wild vegetable porridge, warmed up the leftover meat from last night, and bought buns from outside.Seeing that Xiangxiang likes to eat pickled melon rinds last night, she thoughtfully pickled some more melon rinds.
Xiangxiang served porridge for them, and the three of them sat down to eat together.
Old Xu said, "The gatekeeper is very familiar with me today, so I should be able to get out. What does General Han want the old man to bring?"
Han Xu said, "What excuse do you use to leave the customs?"
Old Xu replied: "Sell a batch of distiller's grains, and go out for a few days in other months."
Only then did Han Xu feel relieved, and he didn't dare to let him bring the letter. He just said: "Go to the Yang family's horse farm outside the checkpoint, find the owner, and give him nine catties, nine taels and nine coins of wine."
Old Xu agreed, tidied up, closed the wine shop, pushed the distiller's grains and a jar of wine, and went out.
Murong Li soon learned about Han Xu's return to the Jinji Ancient Road, his face was as deep as water, no expression could be seen, but he did not get angry.He seemed to know that Han Xu couldn't get out, so he didn't wait for him, and went to Pingdu Pass to meet Murong Bo.
Outside of the capital, the prince's power is beyond his reach, and Murong Li has been in the army for ten years, how can his influence in the army be comparable to him?
Although the army along the way received a letter from the army to search and arrest Murong Bo and Murong Li, who dared to do it?Open your eyes and close your eyes and let them pass.No matter how ruthless the prince is, he can't kill all the troops, can he?But the uncle in front of him is about to eat people.The crown prince may not be very kind to them, and his prestige in the army is not as good as that of Murong Li, who is willing to sacrifice his life to serve them.
However, no one in the army reported back that Han Xu had disappeared along the Jinji Ancient Road.After the prince heard about it, he suspected that he had sneaked back to Jinyang, and secretly ordered all the ministries to search.
Murong Li fled back to Pingdu Pass with Su Jing on a flying horse, and Murong Bo was already waiting.Seeing Su Jing, Murong Bo couldn't hide his joy in his eyes, he hugged her off the horse, and asked softly, "Is the trip all right?"
Su Jing hesitated to speak, Murong Bo took a look, only to realize that there was one person missing.He looked at Murong Li, and Su Jing said softly: "The prince's men are chasing too closely, the fifth younger brother took Xiangxiang..." She didn't say any more, but her eyes turned red first.
Murong Bo stepped forward, grabbed Murong Li's wrist, and called out: "Five!" He couldn't continue.
Murong Li pushed his hand away, called Yan Qing, and ordered him to contact the old department in the army to raise the account to discuss matters.Murong Bo made a marching plan, but because the King of Yan hadn't heard the news yet, Murong Bo was also worried that he would be forced too hard, and the prince would kill his father and king, so he didn't dare to act rashly.The two confronted the prince of Jinyang City at Pingdu Pass.The smoke of gunpowder spread silently, and everyone dispatched their own troops.
In the dead of night, Murong Li collapsed on the couch with his hands on the pillow, unexpectedly he did not feel sleepy.I don't want to have dreams, I don't want to be sleepless.He got up, practiced for an hour, and when he came back, he finally fell asleep after touching the pillow.
In the wine shop on Jinji Ancient Road, Han Xu was cooking porridge, and Lao Xu left all the wine and meat when he left, only worried that they would be hungry.Han Xu also added some mung beans to the porridge, and put it on the fire.He didn't want her to do anything at first, but he didn't stop her seeing her restless look.
Xiangxiang asked: "I can't go back to find the child, can I?"
Han Xu hummed: "Master Kang is a careful person. If he wants to arrange the children's whereabouts, he must be the safest. Although you don't go out often, there is no guarantee that someone in Jinyang City will know you. Once you are recognized, you It will be dangerous, and it will endanger the children." It will even endanger Lord Kang's children, that is not a joke.
Xiangxiang hummed, and asked again: "If...if Lord Kang fails..." Han Xu was slightly startled, and Xiangxiang asked, "What about the child? Will it affect my family?"
Han Xu said: "No, you are just the concubine of Prince Xun after all, the crown prince can never punish his brother's nine clans."
Xiangxiang let out a long breath, and said softly: "That's good." I'm really glad that I'm just one of his concubines.
Seeing her relieved look, Han Xu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you happy, if something happens to Prince Xun, will your family be okay?"
Xiangxiang said: "In the past, there was no one to rely on at home, and our family could live well. As long as the court is not involved, my father and my mother will live in peace."
Han Xu was slightly taken aback, then laughed—who can say that this isn't another kind of flattery?
"You have wonderful parents," he said.
Xiangxiang nodded, and when she mentioned her parents, the expressions on her face became vivid.
The two were talking when a voice suddenly came from outside.Han Xu froze, hurried to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.I saw line after line of officers and soldiers, knocking on the door one by one: "Open the door, open the door, and search for the important criminals!"
Han Xu immediately turned around and said to Xiangxiang, "Pack up your things, we have to leave here immediately."
Xiangxiang actually had nothing to pack, so she packed the clothes she wore when she came.Han Xu quickly poured the uncooked porridge into the well in the backyard, threw two chickens into the pot, and added several fire-resistant logs to the stove.Fortunately, Lao Xu hadn't left for long, if someone came in, they would probably think that he had chicken stew at home.
Then Xiangxiang packed up, and someone was already knocking on the door outside.Han Xu looked around, wiped away the traces of the two of them again, and pulled Xiangxiang out of the backyard over the wall.Xiangxiang couldn't jump over, so Han Xu hugged her up to the wall, waited for him to pass, and then picked her up.
The door of the wine shop seemed to have been knocked open, Han Xu didn't have time to think, he hugged Xiangxiang horizontally, and picked a secluded alley.He seemed to be very familiar with this area, and whenever he was in danger, he could always successfully avoid the officers and soldiers.
Xiangxiang was afraid of dragging him down, so she had to stay in his arms very cooperatively.The weather was very hot, and his sweat dripped down on her forehead.Xiangxiang took the champagne and wiped it gently for him.He seemed a little apologetic: "Although the wine cellar of the wine shop may be able to hide, if it is found, it will definitely hurt Lao Xu. I can only work hard, Madam, forgive me."
It turned out that he didn't know the wine cellar of the winery.But if there is even the slightest danger, you must not implicate those who help you.This is... Murong Li's army, carrying out his will from beginning to end.When the homeland is on fire, I will save it with my bloody head; when you are in danger, I will reach out.If I am down in the future, I will go away, but you just need to be silent.There are no unbreakable military rules, but there is iron-like morality.
Some people saw the two passing by, but when they knew who the officers and soldiers were chasing, without exception, they kept silent.
Officers and soldiers searched both sides of Jinji Ancient Road, but found nothing.Lao Xu hurried home and saw that the house had been turned into a mess.He was taken aback, hurried in, and saw that chicken was stewed in the kitchen, but no one was there.He anxiously asked his neighbors, but the neighbors only said that the officers and soldiers came to search, but nothing was found.Old Xu opened the wine cellar, but no one had ever entered it.He sighed and said nothing.
Han Xu hid all the way with Xiangxiang in his arms, and a long time passed.It was so long that she could smell the faint sweat on his body.Around noon, Han Xu sneaked into a farmhouse. There was no one in the house, and there were two large vegetable bags left in the kitchen.He took it out and handed it to Xiangxiang: "Eat something first."
Xiangxiang took it in his hand, looked up at him, and he smiled: "It must not taste good, so let's eat some first. Just leave the customs."
Xiangxiang handed one of them back to him: "You eat some too."
Han Xu didn't answer: "I'll look for it again."
Xiangxiang took a bite, the bun was really not tasty, the skin was thick and the stuffing was tasteless.But in the eyes of the hungry, what else is there to choose?
Han Xu was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, when unexpectedly the owner of the household came back!
Xiangxiang was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. The owner of the household stared and was about to shout angrily, but when he saw Han Xu, he was stunned.Han Xu continued to flip through, looking like a ruffian: "Is there nothing else to eat at your house?"
The farmer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to the little daughter-in-law behind him and said, "Go out and buy some scallion pancakes."
Han Xu didn't feel ashamed at all: "Go and come back quickly, you and your husband-in-law are just fine!"
The little daughter-in-law went out quickly, and Han Xu found tea leaves again as if he was at his own home, and made tea for Xiangxiang.The owner of the household saw him and said, "There is a sheep in the backyard that just gave birth." Xiangxiang still didn't understand what it meant, so he turned around and took the bowl, and came back after a while, and brought back a bowl of goat's milk.Xiangxiang blushed, and wanted to say a few polite words.Han Xu raised his chin slightly, signaling her to rest assured and eat enough.Reaching out at this time is a kindness in the snow.Would a thank you help?
The owner of the household squeezed a large bowl of milk, took a few sips Xiangxiang, and handed it to Han Xu.Han Xu was eating the steamed stuffed bun, but he actually took her hand and gave him a drink.The sun was scorching hot, and his sweat formed salt flowers on his clothes. At this time, he was indeed thirsty.Xiangxiang blushed slightly, holding the bowl firmly for him to drink.
The two of them didn't rest for long, and bought scallion pancakes.Han Xu ate the rest of the vegetable buns and gave the pancakes to Xiangxiang. When he was full, he wiped his mouth and left with Xiangxiang.
(End of this chapter)
The entire dense forest is so big, where is it safe?Xiangxiang didn't know, she changed places one after another.Li Lin didn't have extra manpower to chase her, so he only sent two soldiers into the woods to have a look.This is not a person worth looking for—a concubine that Murong Li threw away casually, even if caught, what's the use?
Two soldiers entered the forest, and it was a difficult task for them to search a dense forest, but it was a very simple matter to chase a woman, a woman who had no experience in escaping.
After Xiangxiang gave birth to her child, she was already in poor health, so she couldn't bear to keep on traveling like this.Where can she go fast?What's more, there is no time to clean up the traces along the way.
The two soldiers were getting closer and closer, Xiangxiang was trembling all over, and the forgotten days of Mount Yilu suddenly surfaced like that.No, don't be too scared.She forced herself to calm down and think about why they came after them so directly.Yes, it must be too careless when walking, revealing whereabouts.She started to slow down, walking lightly through the dense forest, and consciously or unintentionally concealed the footprints she left.The speed of the two people behind them slowed down as expected, Xiangxiang bit her hand to keep herself from crying.Tears flowed down the back of the hand and dripped among the dead leaves.
She hid in a mountain depression, and heard the voices of two people faintly coming, but slowly but disappeared.She didn't dare to come out, could someone be hiding in the dark just to wait for her to throw herself into the trap?She didn't let herself tremble, so as not to shake the blades of grass around her, her teeth made deep marks on her hand.
The light of the setting sun penetrated the leaves of the dense forest and sprinkled on her body finely.She sobbed and sat hugging her knees, her long hair loosened and draped over her shoulders.
She really wants to go home, but she has no home.Lingzhi County is no longer her home. One day, when everyone thinks that you are living a very happy life, you will only be happy, only happy.You can't tell them about your pain, you can't let them see your wounds.Because the wounds on your body can only make those who love you sad, and make those who hate you gloat.Complaining is useless.
King Xun's mansion is not her home either.Originally, she had accepted her fate, so in this life, she will be a good concubine, neither contending nor jealous, bearing children, and serving her husband.I think that if life can be like this, it can't be considered unhappy.But it turned out that she didn't actually have a husband, and that wasn't a tree that could rely on her.The so-called concubine is doomed to be neglected and despised, her beauty has not faded, and she is already lonely.
The sky was getting dark, the twilight was entering the forest, and the fog was rising among the fallen leaves.The cool wind passed through her clothes, she was a little cold, her hands tightly wrapped around her shoulders, the excessive fear exhausted all her physical strength.Those who hunted him must have left.
Xiangxiang sat down slowly, she had to be alive, but the night was dark and she couldn't move around. She would check the situation after dawn, she closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Murong Li rushed out of the mountain ridge, immediately changed horses, and led Su Jing to flee all the way, and arrived at the place agreed with Han Xu in the middle of the night.When Han Xu came back this time, he didn't dare to bring too many people with him.There are only a hundred or so veterans around him, and they are all brothers who followed him and Murong Li in the north and south.
They were originally standing like a plate of loose sand, but as soon as Murong Li arrived, they immediately stood up, all of them with straight postures and serious eyebrows.Murong Li got off his horse, and everyone immediately half-kneeled and saluted: "My lord!"
Murong Li waved his hand, signaling Han Xu to take Su Jing to his room to rest, and then asked, "Is there any news about King Kang?"
Han Xu said: "People have been sent to meet them, and we agreed to use fireworks as the name. There is no news now, it should be safe."
Murong Li nodded: "Change horses, contact trusted generals, and if there is any bad news in Jinyang City, prepare to start an incident immediately!"
Han Xu responded, Murong paused, and suddenly said: "You send a familiar and trustworthy brother to sneak back to the dense forest two hundred miles away from the eastern suburbs of Jinyang City and find that woman. If she is still alive, send her She got out."
Han Xu was taken aback - what woman?Isn't the princess here?
He suddenly came back to his senses: "Guo Xiangxiang?"
Murong Li slowly turned his face away and said, "Yes."
Han Xu was startled, and then said softly, "Master, she has the guts to trust the brothers we sent."
Murong Li was startled, and suddenly thought of those terrified eyes when they first met.If the prince's people found her, she must be dead, right?
Murong Li clenched his hands slowly, and Han Xu said softly: "If you don't worry, the general will go there in person. She knows the general and knows that he is the prince's person, so she will follow." If she is still alive.
Murong Li was silent.You shouldn't do this. There are many people who know Han Xu in Jinyang City. It is very dangerous for him to go there in person.And once the prince learns that he actually sent Han Xu to save that woman, he will think that woman is very important to him... The chances of both of them surviving are not great.
He turned his head and said: "No need." He turned and walked into the house, after dinner, he needed to rush to Pingduguan.Murong Bo cannot mobilize the generals by himself, he must arrive at the same time.
But I don't know why, but I think of her standing on the Jinji Ancient Road in a daze when the sun was setting, like a little white rabbit released in the Tiger's Field, not knowing where to go.
While Murong Li was washing up, Han Xu called his lieutenant, Chen Zhao, and confessed: "I'll hurry back, and if there is no accident, I will be able to meet you in Daji City one day later. You, my lord, take care of you. "
Chen Zhao was tongue-tied: "General, general, general, general..." Don't you want me to serve the prince?My head is not strong enough, General!
Han Xu kicked over with one kick, what a fart!Turn around and lead the horse, out of here, go straight to Jinji Ancient Road.
It was almost dawn, so Han Xu lit a torch and searched the forest for a long time.However, the light was not good after all, and when he found the place where Xiangxiang fled in a hurry, there was no trace to follow.
Seeing that there was no one in the forest, he said softly, "Mrs. Xiang? Are you there?"
When there was no response, he plucked the grass and shouted, "Mrs. Xiang? Guo Xiangxiang!"
Xiangxiang thought she was dreaming, and after she was awakened, she heard someone calling her.She sat up and couldn't hear whose voice it was.No, don't fall into other people's hands again!She held the hairpin in her hand, don't let it fall into other people's hands again!But God bless the people who came from Murong Li or Murong Bo.But there is a trace of life, and they don't want to die here.If he really died, he would never see his parents again.Xuanxuan is still so young, if there is no mother, I don't know how pitiful she will be in the future.She gently pushed aside the dead leaves in front of her, and looked out under the vegetation.
Almost at the same time, Han Xu also saw her!Thank goodness she's still alive!Just as Han Xu was about to step forward, he found that she was holding a hairpin in her hand, and said softly, "Mrs. Xiang, it's me! Prince Xun, do you still know me? My name is Han Xu!"
Xiangxiang's whole body seemed to lose all strength, and she slipped softly in the col.Han Xu stepped forward and helped her up: "The prince's people are all around the checkpoint, we must leave immediately." Xiangxiang suddenly put her arms around his neck.
At that time, it was late July, a scorching summer day, and she was wearing thin clothes. She hid in the forest all night and was soaked by dew again.Han Xu was slightly taken aback, only to feel that the body thrown into his arms was soft and fragrant.He separated her, and her tears just fell on his shoulders, one by one separated by the fabric, hot as fire.He was about to push her hand away, so he patted her on the back lightly: "It's all right, it's all right."
Xiangxiang didn't cry for a long time. After being captured and sold to other tribes, she couldn't cry for a long time.She wiped away her tears, and felt that it was not good to hold Han Xu like this, so she said softly, "I'm sorry, thank you."
Han Xu smiled: "Let's go."
Xiangxiang walked slowly, the sky was only dim, and the vegetation in the woods had only shadows of different shades.She had a deep foot and a shallow foot, and it was very difficult for her to walk.The clothes on his body are wet, and the wind blows them, making him feel even cooler.She shrank her shoulders slightly, Han Xu sighed, said offended, turned around, picked her up, and carried her out on his shoulders.When we arrived outside the forest, the sky was already bright.
Since Murong Bo and Murong Li escaped yesterday, the checkpoint here has been under martial law, and the interrogation is very meticulous.People like Han Xu often show their faces in the army, and they will never get away with it.He took Xiangxiang to a winery, the owner of the winery saw him, kept his face, and let him inside.
The inner room was obviously the owner's own residence, so Han Xu didn't pay much attention, so he found two clean clothes and handed them to Xiangxiang: "Change first."
Xiangxiang's face turned red, and Han Xu thought she was shy and didn't pay much attention.He turned his back, and Xiangxiang began to change clothes.
The owner of the winery has been selling wine outside, and only hurried in when he was done.Han Xu asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"
The owner of the wine shop replied: "There is a tight search outside. Captain She Sheng sent another army and horses here, and there are heavy guards everywhere. I am afraid that the general will not be able to go out for the time being."
Han Xu frowned, as expected Murong Li was right in thinking.It's just that Xiangxiang is his daughter's biological mother anyway, if she was really eaten by wild beasts in the mountains... what would happen to that man?Going back this time, he will inevitably beat her up, alas, admit it.
After the two of them finished talking, Han Xu returned to the room and found Xiangxiang leaning on the couch, falling asleep.Her long hair hung down her shoulders, and she was wearing an indigo blue cloth, but her skin was more delicate and tender.The red lips are bright, and the cheeks are also delicate and pink.
This look... Han Xu hurriedly stepped forward and probed her forehead, his brows furrowed immediately, and said to the owner of the winery, "Find a doctor."
Xiangxiang was ill. She was still asleep when the doctor came, but it was not a serious illness. Last night in the forest, she was frightened and frightened, and suffered some wind and cold.
The doctor prescribed medicine and said something like be careful and raise it.
Han Xu sent the doctor out and asked the owner of the winery to go out to get medicine.
The owner of the wine shop listened to him very much - his son was under Han Xu's tent, so he dared not be disobedient.
When Xiangxiang woke up, there was no one in the room.She came out of the room and saw Han Xu lighting the stove in the small courtyard.Han Xu wore a light gray scribe gown, and tied his hair up in a scholarly bun with a blue scarf.He was already somewhat bookish, so dressed like a scholar.However, he was very proficient in lighting the stove, and the charcoal fire was already burning in a short while.
Xiangxiang walked over, and Han Xu also saw her, and said, "I'm planning to decoct the medicine, you should rest first."
Xiangxiang squatted down: "I'll do it."
Han Xu just skillfully put the medicine jar on, poured the medicine into it, and added three bowls of water.Xiangxiang was surprised: "I didn't expect you to be good at doing these things."
Han Xu smiled: "When I was young, my family was poor, so it was inevitable that I knew everything."
Xiangxiang actually didn't like him. He used to force her to follow Murong Li with soft and hard tactics, and he felt that he was not a good person. In comparison, Zhou Zhuo was more open-minded than him.Anyway, I was idle at this time, so I chatted with him: "Is it poorer than my hometown?"
Han Xu smiled: "Although Lingzhi is remote and plagued by bandits, it doesn't have a tyrannical government, so it's not too bad. The imperial capital is busy, and there are also families with no means of food and clothing. If it was at that time, I wouldn't be able to afford a family like yours."
Green smoke rose in plumes and lingered over his eyebrows, Xiangxiang felt that he was actually quite good-looking.She even showed a smile: "Now everyone in Jinyang City is a lady, you can pick and choose to marry."
Han Xu laughed, and said, "Actually, at that time..." He glanced at Xiangxiang and didn't continue.In fact, at that time, I also hoped to marry a quiet and delicate woman who could sew, mend, wash, and add fragrance to her sleeves.If you are greedy for the love of your sons and daughters, why are you afraid of being short-tempered by heroes?Until now, I don't want to marry any lady from a great family.What's the point of respecting each other as guests for a lifetime?
It's just that these words should not be said to her, so Han Xu just said: "Now he is only a traitor. If King Kang becomes the throne, he must be able to pick and choose."
Xiangxiang took the fan in his hand and gently fanned the fire.Han Xu asked, "Do you still hate me now?" Xiangxiang was startled and said nothing.Han Xu laughed again: "There's nothing I can do if I hate it. If I have a background like Zhou Zhuo, I won't do such a thing." With a humble background, one must know how to read people's eyes and figure out the commander's mind. Military achievements can't just rely on one hand Go hang out.He suddenly laughed again: "If he really doesn't like it, I still think about getting it myself."
Xiangxiang blushed, thinking of Zhou Zhuo's appearance at that time, she was immediately annoyed.Han Xu looked at what he was saying, of course he saw it, and said, "I can't protect Zhou Zhuo, either. You can't turn against your brother for a woman, right?"
Xiangxiang asked: "In your eyes, women are just playthings, right?" Zhou Zhuo, you, Murong Li, and even Murong Bo, are they all like this?
Han Xu thought for a while and said, "I don't know about others, but to me, even playthings are very luxurious, very luxurious playthings."
The medicine fragrance slowly overflowed from the medicine jar, and the water began to churn, Xiangxiang took a rag to remove the lid.Han Xu took the rag, waved her away, and said softly, "Be careful of the burn!" His voice was too close, and as he brushed past his ear, Xiangxiang avoided it as if he had been really burned.
She got up, and wanted to cook something, but the place was unfamiliar, and the owner of the wine shop didn't know where to go. She couldn't find the place for a while, and she couldn't help it.
Han Xu said, "If you're sick, rest well and don't run around. If you die here, I'll be in vain."
Xiangxiang said, "You can't go out either, can you?"
Han Xu murmured, and comforted: "Don't worry, the prince knows that the two princes have left Jinji Ancient Road, and we won't be strictly investigating here for too long. It will be fine if the wind passes."
Xiangxiang lowered her head and said, "He didn't allow you to come, did he?"
Han Xu was taken aback, and she said, "Thank you."
Han Xu found it interesting: "Thank you?"
Xiangxiang nodded: "Thank you for allowing me to be alive and have the opportunity to see my daughter."
Han Xu smiled: "Just do your job as a subordinate, and you can please him later."
Xiangxiang didn't speak any more, Han Xu poured out the medicine and put it aside to dry.
The owner of the wine shop outside came in with sauced beef and roast chicken.Knowing that Han Xu likes spirits, he deliberately brought out a jar of Jiuyunchun wine that had been cellared in his store for a long time.
"Old Xu," Han Xu called him after washing the medicine jar, "Madam is cold, please cook some porridge. It will be a little thicker."
Old Xu is the owner of the winery, he promised, and went to the kitchen in a hurry.Xiangxiang wanted to follow him to help him, but Han Xu said, "Take a rest first, you will be doing me a great favor by taking care of your body."
Xiangxiang had no choice but to come back, the medicine was not cold yet.Han Xu probed lightly at the side of the bowl, and took another half basin of cold water to drink it.Ask Xiangxiang: "Are you tired of meat?"
"Ah?" Before Xiangxiang understood, he saw him take a watermelon, peel off the outer skin of the melon in three or two strokes, cut off the middle skin, and cut into shreds in a few strokes.
Xiangxiang was happy, and leaned over, Han Xu salted the shredded melon skin, rolled up the sleeves of his gown slightly, revealing the strong, bronze-colored muscles underneath.
When Lao Xu finished cooking the porridge, Xiangxiang set up the bowls and chopsticks and was about to eat when Han Xu said, "Drink the medicine first."
Xiangxiang took the medicine bowl, but the medicine was extremely bitter. She took a sip, her little face wrinkled together.Han Xu and Lao Xu sat at the same table, and there was no difference in respect or inferiority.The two drank wine and ate meat, and Lao Xu asked, "How is the barbarian?"
He took it for granted that Manzi was his son.Han Xu said: "Okay, the news will pass in a few days, give him a leave of absence and let him come back to see you."
Old Xu waved his hand: "I'm fine with visiting relatives, I don't want him to come back and see."
Han Xu smiled, and when he looked up, seeing that Xiangxiang was still drinking the medicine, he almost burst out laughing.He asked, "Old Xu, no sugar?"
Old Xu grunted and said, "There's honey." As he spoke, he got up and brought over half a jar of honey.Han Xu took a spoon, scooped up a large spoonful of honey, and just mixed it into the fragrant medicine bowl.
Xiangxiang thought he was playing tricks on purpose, and was a little annoyed at first, but when she looked up, she saw that he was as casual as it should be.At that time, his sleeves had been put down, and he had slender fingers, holding a white porcelain spoon to gently stir the concoction in her hand. As the spoon rotated, his sleeves fluttered slightly, which was both elegant and beautiful.
Xiangxiang looked a little distracted, and didn't even say thank you.
After drinking the medicine, Xiangxiang scooped up a bowl of porridge, but she really felt that the meat was too greasy, so she ate with the pickled melon skin on the table.Han Xu mixed the oil in the melon skin and sprinkled some sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. It tasted good.
While she was eating, Han Xu drank with Lao Xu. Lao Xu didn't drink the Jiuyunchun wine. It was stored in the cellar in the year Manzi was born. It has been cellared for more than ten years, and it is too strong.An old man like him can't drink such strong alcohol.He scooped up some rice wine by himself and clinked glasses with Han Xu.
Han Xu felt that the wine was good, so he turned to Xiangxiang and asked, "Have some?"
"Ah?" Xiangxiang doesn't drink much, so Han Xu poured her a small amount: "Warm your body."
Xiangxiang drank it, and felt that the taste was spicy and choking, and she wanted to cry.Old Xu hurriedly said: "Drink less, drink less, the wine is strong!"
In fact, Han Xu didn't pour much, just a bowl.He didn't take it seriously, and still chatted with Lao Xu: "Go to the checkpoint tomorrow to see if there is any way to get out. It's best to see Chen Zhao." I hope to go back soon, it's been a long time There will be no good fruit to eat when I go back.
Old Xu promised that he had been running a winery in this area for many years, so it shouldn't be difficult to go out.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise, and Xiangxiang slid under the table.
Han Xu was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and then hurried to help, and saw Xiangxiang's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious.Han Xu glanced at Lao Xu, who was also looking at him, his eyes met, speechless.
Han Xu didn't dare to say who Xiangxiang was, and of course Old Xu wouldn't ask, the less he knew about this gang of soldiers, the better.
Han Xu stopped drinking, and walked into the room with Xiangxiang in his arms. The beautiful woman in his arms was soft and boneless, and his whole body was slightly hot.He felt that the wine he drank was boiling in his veins, almost burning his blood together.There was no light in the room, so he put Xiangxiang on the bed by the faint moonlight.In the milky white twilight, Yi Ren's temples were scattered slightly, with a few strands of hair sticking to her skin as delicate as porcelain.
This kind of woman is really an expensive and extravagant plaything.He pulled off the thin quilt to cover her.
Xiangxiang was drunk, but slept well.I just feel light and warm all over my body.In the dream, it was in the dense forest of Jinji Ancient Road, she was being hunted down, and there were chaotic footsteps.Someone came to her and stretched out his hand to untie her clothes. She couldn't make a sound and pushed the person hard.His mind was blurred, and he suddenly thought that the person was Murong Li, but when the person looked up, he suddenly found that it was Han Xu's face!
Xiangxiang screamed, turned over and sat up, only to realize that Nankeyimeng was nowhere to be found.But... my God!She actually dreamed of being with Han Xu... Oh my God!
She covered her eyes, but the door was suddenly pushed open.Han Xu's face was anxious: "What's the matter?"
How could Xiangxiang tell him what happened?He just said vaguely, "I had a nightmare."
It was indeed a nightmare, a terrible dream!
Han Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's still early, you can sleep for a while."
Only then did Xiangxiang realize something was wrong, and asked, "You...sleeping at my door?" You are a dog!
Han Xu closed the door for her with his backhand: "I don't worry about other places, you go to sleep."
Xiangxiang closed her eyes, opened them again after a long time, and saw his shadow looming over the carved paper on the door.
It was still dark outside, she closed her eyes, and finally fell into a deep sleep again.
Xiangxiang is 17 years old, borrowing wine business, and had a dream for the first time, dreaming that she and her husband's subordinates...
The next day, Xiangxiang got up very early.Pushing open the door, Han Xu moved the table over and placed it right in front of her door.And he was sleeping on the table, such a hard wooden table, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Xiangxiang is a little bit sorry, these people, it's not appropriate for you to classify them as good people or bad people.
Seeing that she was awake, Han Xu jumped down, moved the table away, and said, "Don't go out, don't let people see you." Afraid that she wouldn't understand, he said, "Don't do anything, it will cause trouble to the owner here." even dangerous."
Xiangxiang understood: "Got it."
She went to the yard to wash her face, and when she turned around, Han Xu had poured tea for her to rinse her mouth.Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed, but after rinsing his mouth, he gave her the medicine again.The medicine was already cold, but it was warmed with hot water.Xiangxiang only felt that this man was really careful, and when he thought about the dream last night, he looked ashamed.
Han Xu saw that her face was still red, like the tender powder on the apple, and asked suspiciously, "Has the alcohol passed away yet?"
Xiangxiang responded indiscriminately, walked quickly back to the house with the medicine in her hand, took another sip of the medicine, and found that it had been mixed with sugar, bitter and sweet.When he went out again, Lao Xu had already prepared breakfast.A pot of wild vegetable porridge, warmed up the leftover meat from last night, and bought buns from outside.Seeing that Xiangxiang likes to eat pickled melon rinds last night, she thoughtfully pickled some more melon rinds.
Xiangxiang served porridge for them, and the three of them sat down to eat together.
Old Xu said, "The gatekeeper is very familiar with me today, so I should be able to get out. What does General Han want the old man to bring?"
Han Xu said, "What excuse do you use to leave the customs?"
Old Xu replied: "Sell a batch of distiller's grains, and go out for a few days in other months."
Only then did Han Xu feel relieved, and he didn't dare to let him bring the letter. He just said: "Go to the Yang family's horse farm outside the checkpoint, find the owner, and give him nine catties, nine taels and nine coins of wine."
Old Xu agreed, tidied up, closed the wine shop, pushed the distiller's grains and a jar of wine, and went out.
Murong Li soon learned about Han Xu's return to the Jinji Ancient Road, his face was as deep as water, no expression could be seen, but he did not get angry.He seemed to know that Han Xu couldn't get out, so he didn't wait for him, and went to Pingdu Pass to meet Murong Bo.
Outside of the capital, the prince's power is beyond his reach, and Murong Li has been in the army for ten years, how can his influence in the army be comparable to him?
Although the army along the way received a letter from the army to search and arrest Murong Bo and Murong Li, who dared to do it?Open your eyes and close your eyes and let them pass.No matter how ruthless the prince is, he can't kill all the troops, can he?But the uncle in front of him is about to eat people.The crown prince may not be very kind to them, and his prestige in the army is not as good as that of Murong Li, who is willing to sacrifice his life to serve them.
However, no one in the army reported back that Han Xu had disappeared along the Jinji Ancient Road.After the prince heard about it, he suspected that he had sneaked back to Jinyang, and secretly ordered all the ministries to search.
Murong Li fled back to Pingdu Pass with Su Jing on a flying horse, and Murong Bo was already waiting.Seeing Su Jing, Murong Bo couldn't hide his joy in his eyes, he hugged her off the horse, and asked softly, "Is the trip all right?"
Su Jing hesitated to speak, Murong Bo took a look, only to realize that there was one person missing.He looked at Murong Li, and Su Jing said softly: "The prince's men are chasing too closely, the fifth younger brother took Xiangxiang..." She didn't say any more, but her eyes turned red first.
Murong Bo stepped forward, grabbed Murong Li's wrist, and called out: "Five!" He couldn't continue.
Murong Li pushed his hand away, called Yan Qing, and ordered him to contact the old department in the army to raise the account to discuss matters.Murong Bo made a marching plan, but because the King of Yan hadn't heard the news yet, Murong Bo was also worried that he would be forced too hard, and the prince would kill his father and king, so he didn't dare to act rashly.The two confronted the prince of Jinyang City at Pingdu Pass.The smoke of gunpowder spread silently, and everyone dispatched their own troops.
In the dead of night, Murong Li collapsed on the couch with his hands on the pillow, unexpectedly he did not feel sleepy.I don't want to have dreams, I don't want to be sleepless.He got up, practiced for an hour, and when he came back, he finally fell asleep after touching the pillow.
In the wine shop on Jinji Ancient Road, Han Xu was cooking porridge, and Lao Xu left all the wine and meat when he left, only worried that they would be hungry.Han Xu also added some mung beans to the porridge, and put it on the fire.He didn't want her to do anything at first, but he didn't stop her seeing her restless look.
Xiangxiang asked: "I can't go back to find the child, can I?"
Han Xu hummed: "Master Kang is a careful person. If he wants to arrange the children's whereabouts, he must be the safest. Although you don't go out often, there is no guarantee that someone in Jinyang City will know you. Once you are recognized, you It will be dangerous, and it will endanger the children." It will even endanger Lord Kang's children, that is not a joke.
Xiangxiang hummed, and asked again: "If...if Lord Kang fails..." Han Xu was slightly startled, and Xiangxiang asked, "What about the child? Will it affect my family?"
Han Xu said: "No, you are just the concubine of Prince Xun after all, the crown prince can never punish his brother's nine clans."
Xiangxiang let out a long breath, and said softly: "That's good." I'm really glad that I'm just one of his concubines.
Seeing her relieved look, Han Xu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you happy, if something happens to Prince Xun, will your family be okay?"
Xiangxiang said: "In the past, there was no one to rely on at home, and our family could live well. As long as the court is not involved, my father and my mother will live in peace."
Han Xu was slightly taken aback, then laughed—who can say that this isn't another kind of flattery?
"You have wonderful parents," he said.
Xiangxiang nodded, and when she mentioned her parents, the expressions on her face became vivid.
The two were talking when a voice suddenly came from outside.Han Xu froze, hurried to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.I saw line after line of officers and soldiers, knocking on the door one by one: "Open the door, open the door, and search for the important criminals!"
Han Xu immediately turned around and said to Xiangxiang, "Pack up your things, we have to leave here immediately."
Xiangxiang actually had nothing to pack, so she packed the clothes she wore when she came.Han Xu quickly poured the uncooked porridge into the well in the backyard, threw two chickens into the pot, and added several fire-resistant logs to the stove.Fortunately, Lao Xu hadn't left for long, if someone came in, they would probably think that he had chicken stew at home.
Then Xiangxiang packed up, and someone was already knocking on the door outside.Han Xu looked around, wiped away the traces of the two of them again, and pulled Xiangxiang out of the backyard over the wall.Xiangxiang couldn't jump over, so Han Xu hugged her up to the wall, waited for him to pass, and then picked her up.
The door of the wine shop seemed to have been knocked open, Han Xu didn't have time to think, he hugged Xiangxiang horizontally, and picked a secluded alley.He seemed to be very familiar with this area, and whenever he was in danger, he could always successfully avoid the officers and soldiers.
Xiangxiang was afraid of dragging him down, so she had to stay in his arms very cooperatively.The weather was very hot, and his sweat dripped down on her forehead.Xiangxiang took the champagne and wiped it gently for him.He seemed a little apologetic: "Although the wine cellar of the wine shop may be able to hide, if it is found, it will definitely hurt Lao Xu. I can only work hard, Madam, forgive me."
It turned out that he didn't know the wine cellar of the winery.But if there is even the slightest danger, you must not implicate those who help you.This is... Murong Li's army, carrying out his will from beginning to end.When the homeland is on fire, I will save it with my bloody head; when you are in danger, I will reach out.If I am down in the future, I will go away, but you just need to be silent.There are no unbreakable military rules, but there is iron-like morality.
Some people saw the two passing by, but when they knew who the officers and soldiers were chasing, without exception, they kept silent.
Officers and soldiers searched both sides of Jinji Ancient Road, but found nothing.Lao Xu hurried home and saw that the house had been turned into a mess.He was taken aback, hurried in, and saw that chicken was stewed in the kitchen, but no one was there.He anxiously asked his neighbors, but the neighbors only said that the officers and soldiers came to search, but nothing was found.Old Xu opened the wine cellar, but no one had ever entered it.He sighed and said nothing.
Han Xu hid all the way with Xiangxiang in his arms, and a long time passed.It was so long that she could smell the faint sweat on his body.Around noon, Han Xu sneaked into a farmhouse. There was no one in the house, and there were two large vegetable bags left in the kitchen.He took it out and handed it to Xiangxiang: "Eat something first."
Xiangxiang took it in his hand, looked up at him, and he smiled: "It must not taste good, so let's eat some first. Just leave the customs."
Xiangxiang handed one of them back to him: "You eat some too."
Han Xu didn't answer: "I'll look for it again."
Xiangxiang took a bite, the bun was really not tasty, the skin was thick and the stuffing was tasteless.But in the eyes of the hungry, what else is there to choose?
Han Xu was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, when unexpectedly the owner of the household came back!
Xiangxiang was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. The owner of the household stared and was about to shout angrily, but when he saw Han Xu, he was stunned.Han Xu continued to flip through, looking like a ruffian: "Is there nothing else to eat at your house?"
The farmer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to the little daughter-in-law behind him and said, "Go out and buy some scallion pancakes."
Han Xu didn't feel ashamed at all: "Go and come back quickly, you and your husband-in-law are just fine!"
The little daughter-in-law went out quickly, and Han Xu found tea leaves again as if he was at his own home, and made tea for Xiangxiang.The owner of the household saw him and said, "There is a sheep in the backyard that just gave birth." Xiangxiang still didn't understand what it meant, so he turned around and took the bowl, and came back after a while, and brought back a bowl of goat's milk.Xiangxiang blushed, and wanted to say a few polite words.Han Xu raised his chin slightly, signaling her to rest assured and eat enough.Reaching out at this time is a kindness in the snow.Would a thank you help?
The owner of the household squeezed a large bowl of milk, took a few sips Xiangxiang, and handed it to Han Xu.Han Xu was eating the steamed stuffed bun, but he actually took her hand and gave him a drink.The sun was scorching hot, and his sweat formed salt flowers on his clothes. At this time, he was indeed thirsty.Xiangxiang blushed slightly, holding the bowl firmly for him to drink.
The two of them didn't rest for long, and bought scallion pancakes.Han Xu ate the rest of the vegetable buns and gave the pancakes to Xiangxiang. When he was full, he wiped his mouth and left with Xiangxiang.
