The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 172 Elope with Pei Ruochen
Liu Zhufeng stayed where he was, and couldn't bear to ask any more.

Sometimes, I feel that the master is a powerful existence like a god.

Sometimes, I feel that the master is too fragile to be vulnerable.

But from the beginning to the end, Liu Zhufeng didn't know what was in her heart, where she came from, and where she was going.

——Liuyuan, after all, she couldn't keep her.

He once heard that Dongshan is a beautiful place.

Birds chirping in the mountain stream, springs splashing pine rocks.

On the post road leading to Dongshan, there is a man with plain clothes and no makeup, who is dusty but has a quiet expression.

He stopped in a teahouse, and just after taking a sip of tea, he noticed that the little girl in the teahouse kept peeking at him.

Pei Ruochen smiled and nodded kindly to the little girl.

The little girl froze for a moment, her face flushed, and she hurried into the back room.

There were two big men doing leg work beside him, drinking tea from a big bowl, and seeing the little girl's coy behavior, they couldn't help laughing, they ran to Pei Ruochen's table with their own bowls, and one of them teased: " Little brother, seeing that you are very imposing, you should be from the capital, right? You don't look like a coolie..."

"I'm from the capital, and I'm going to Dongshan to teach." Pei Ruochen replied politely.

He was originally a very bookish person, so his answer was very convincing.

Hearing that they were teachers, the attitudes of the two people immediately became respectful: the more ordinary people, the more they understand the tradition of respecting teachers and valuing education.

"It turned out to be sir. We are rude and rude. This bowl of tea is ours to invite sir."

Pei Ruochen simply refused to be disrespectful, and sighed inexplicably in his heart.

Every generation of righteousness who slaughters dogs and ungrateful people are all scholars.

This is the truth.

"You are from the capital, do you know that there is a big traitor in the capital, what's his name, Pei Ruochen, have you seen him before?" After a few words of pleasantries, one of them asked with great interest.

"I've seen it." Pei Ruochen smiled unchanged.

"Really! Mister is indeed a man who has seen the world!" The man yelled in admiration, "What does that man look like? I heard that he looks ugly. Think about it, how good-looking can a traitor be? It's a sharp-billed monkey cheek, with a hideous face."

"Almost." Pei Ruochen drank tea, as if answering a topic that had nothing to do with him.

"Have you seen the newly enthroned Snow Emperor?" The man was in good spirits, and asked Pei Ruochen eagerly.

"Yes." Pei Ruochen replied honestly.

"Sir, you are really amazing." The eyes of those two people were full of stars of admiration, "I mentioned that when your majesty was a prince, he was hurt badly by Pei Ruochen, and he was framed for murdering his brother. Not only did he not take revenge on Pei Ruochen's family, but he also took good care of the little emperor, and he did not kill Pei Ruochen's former subordinates. What kind of gangsters of Tianyi Pavilion. How many people died, it is a crime. Only two died in our village. The official insisted that they were gangsters of Tianyi Pavilion, and arrested them to receive meritorious service, but they were tortured in prison Dead——Pei Ruochen, who killed a thousand swords, said that he died of a sudden illness, so that's taking advantage of him!" As they spoke, the expressions of the two became a little grim.

Pei Ruochen listened silently, then said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing, sir?" The two men asked in amazement.

Pei Ruochen hesitated to speak, turned his head, and turned to the boundless way of coming. At the end of the boundless, there is the capital city that is full of turbulent wind and clouds every day.

Any decision and change in the capital will cause many human tragedies.

He squeezed his hands together, and suddenly felt that his palms were sticky, as if they were covered with blood.

"Because I am Pei Ruochen." Finally, he answered frankly.

The two stayed for a while, then stood up abruptly.

They stood up so much that all the tables and chairs were overturned to the ground. The little girl who had hid in the inner room came out again and looked at all this curiously.

Pei Ruochen's expression didn't move, he turned his head, looked at the two simple-faced men quietly, and repeated: "I am Pei Ruochen, the former regent, who announced that he had died of illness."

"You..." After the initial intensity, a slightly impulsive man rushed forward, grabbed Pei Ruochen by the collar, and threw him to the ground.

In fact, with Pei Ruochen's skill, twenty or thirty peasants like this who don't know martial arts are no problem.

It's just that he was too lazy to resist, and even subconsciously hoped that they would not show mercy.

The other also rushed up and punched Pei Ruochen in the face.

Red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his cheeks were a little blue, but his expression was still calm.

So calm that the two beating him thought they were beating a lifeless body.

They gradually became timid, and after throwing a few more punches, they threw a few harsh words to seek justice for the dead, and then left in relief.

Simple people, simple love and hate.

After they left, Pei Ruochen sat up with difficulty, wiping the fishy smell from his mouth with the back of his hand.

The little girl also walked over cautiously and handed him a not-so-clean towel.

Pei Ruochen took it, wiped it briefly, and said politely, "Thank you."

Still polite and gentle.

The little girl's face turned red again.

The little girl has no love or hate, her idea is very simple: So Pei Ruochen looks so good-looking.No wonder the princess would marry him back then.

After Pei Ruochen returned the towel, he leaned on the chair and stood up carefully.

Someone kicked his knee just now, probably to the bone, and it hurts badly after a little force.

He lowered his head and was about to check his injuries when a light and joyful voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

"Pei Ruochen, is that you?"

Pei Ruochen's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head slightly, and he saw a smiling face, round eyes, round outline, round pupils, and a round smile.

"It really is you." Yi Ren rejoiced, she didn't seem to see the scars on his body, she grabbed his arm excitedly and said: "I knew you were not dead, the person Xiao Chuanchuan asked yesterday was really talking nonsense .”

Pei Ruochen smiled, Yi Ren's joy made him suddenly feel relaxed.

No matter how embarrassed, desolate, or even how many heinous things he has done, in front of Yi Ren, it seems that they can become irrelevant trivial matters.

She only knew him, not the son of the prime minister, not the regent, not the powerful official who was shocked by the situation, not the homeless man in distress in the countryside, she only knew him as Pei Ruochen.

"Who is Xiao Chuanchuan?" Pei Ruochen asked casually while looking greedily at Yi Ren's scheming smile.

"It's the ice man standing behind me." Yi Ren stuck out her tongue and gestured to her back.

Pei Ruochen followed her gaze, and sure enough, he saw a person standing behind Yi Ren.

Standing not too close, on the other side of the road, under the shadow of a big tree, indifferently, as if disdain to blend into this ordinary world.

Pei Ruochen was stunned, "Lu Chuan?"

The Xiao Chuan Chuan in Yi's population turned out to be Lu Chuan who looked like a demon god!

"We're going to the capital, looking for Feng Jiu." Yi Ren explained spontaneously, then scratched his head, and said to himself: "You just came from the capital, so you probably won't be going back. Then where are you going?"

"Dongshan." Pei Ruochen replied naturally, without any precautions.

"Dongshan..." Yi Ren didn't know much about the geography of this world, she repeated it in a murmur, and smiled again, "It should be a very beautiful place."

"Yes." Pei Ruochen smiled.

Yi Ren thought for a while and said, "It would be nice if we could go and have a look together, but Xiao Chuanchuan refuses to go..."

Pei Ruochen glanced at Lu Chuan again. Although Lu Chuan did not interfere with Yi Ren's actions, that idle stop had blocked all of Yi Ren's way out.She is under his control.

Pei Ruochen was intelligent and had already seen that they were not walking together as usual.

Yi Ren has always been muddle-headed and unprepared for others, so Pei Ruochen had to be more careful.

"If that's the case, let's go together." Pei Ruochen replied casually: "He Lanxue has just ascended the throne, and there are many things. When you return to the capital, he doesn't have the energy to take care of you. Why don't you stay in Dongshan for a month, and then go see him."

"I didn't say I was going to find A Xue, it was Xiao Chuanchuan who was looking for Feng Jiu..." Yi Ren looked up at the sky and argued dully.

Pei Ruochen smiled with a doting look, and did not refute.

"By the way, does it hurt?" Yi Ren finally focused on the bruise on Pei Ruochen's lips, she took a breath and asked cautiously.As if it hurts me.

"A little bit, come in with me and get some medicine." Pei Ruochen frowned, then took Yi Ren's hand and walked towards the inner room of the teahouse.

Yi Ren turned to look at Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan obviously didn't want Yi Ren to disappear from his sight, but because of his status as a master, he naturally wouldn't follow. He still just stood in the distance, watching all this indifferently.

After entering the inner room, the little girl who was always blushing just now was in astonishment. Pei Ruochen had already walked over, covered the little girl's mouth, and his warm and mellow voice whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound."

The little girl nodded stupidly and said nothing.

Pei Ruochen quickly looked around, then made a silent gesture to Yiren, then pulled her and walked out through the back door.

The teahouse is open beside the road, and its back door faces the high slopes and forests on both sides.

Yi Ren staggered along with him for a long time. After Pei Ruochen confirmed that Lu Chuan hadn't caught up, he slowed down a little and asked Yi Ren carefully, "Did Lu Chuan kidnap you?"

"How do you know?" Yi Ren asked with a blink of an eye, and then said: "It's not considered a hostage, he just took me out of Liuyuan. In fact, he is very good to me."

Along the way, although Lu Chuan didn't talk much, he put Yiren in a good place to eat and sleep well. Even if Yiren deliberately teased him later, calling "Xiao Chuanchuan" one after another, he was not angry.

He is a very relatable idol - so Yi Ren judged.

"Lu Chuan is moody, and he has never been troubled by right and wrong in his life. Walking with him is like a companion who follows a wolf." Pei Ruochen pondered for a moment, and then brought up the topic just now: "I can't send you back to the prince right now. Would you like to go to Dongshan with me first?"

Yi Ren hesitated.

Pei Ruochen didn't urge her, but just stopped beside her, waiting quietly, like an old friend who has been waiting for many years, peacefully without asking for anything.
