Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 171

A few people soon arrived at the place where the cooking smoke was wafting. Standing in front of the row of fences, looking at the two thatched huts in the yard, Zhu Zixin called out, "Is anyone there? Is anyone at home?"

Not long after, an old woman came out of the house. While wiping her hands on the apron, she stepped forward, stood in the yard, and asked loudly:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Grandma, we are business travelers in the past. Because we lost our way, we didn't sleep last night. Now we are tired and hungry. I want to ask for a meal with you. I wonder if you can make it easier?"

Nangong Xi said to the old woman.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Zixin couldn't help but glance at him. Originally, she thought it seemed better for her to say these words, but before she could speak, Nangongxi said them out. This way, he once again refreshed her respect for him. cognition.

Seemingly aware of the doubts in Zhu Zixin's heart, Nan Gongxi said in a low voice after saying these few words:
"In the past few years, Zhu Ziyi and I have traveled to several countries together, and we have suffered as much as this time!"

"I see!"

Zhu Zixin finally understood.It seems that people must bow their heads when they are outside. It is still useful for this famous prince to travel.

"You want to eat?"

The old woman looked at the three of them at this time, with a look of embarrassment in her eyes, and she seemed reluctant.

"We have money! Old woman, we don't eat for free. You can accept the money, please let us in?"

Zhu Zixin quickly understood the reason why the old woman didn't want to keep them, and hurriedly took out some money from her pocket and handed it to the old woman.

Seeing this, the old woman immediately became happy, opened her mouth and smiled like a flower blooming, and said
"That's good, you guys come in."

As he said that, he moved his little feet and opened the chaimen.

Several people hurried in. Colin saw a water tank at the door of the kitchen. Without thinking about it, he walked over, took a wooden spoon, scooped up half a spoonful of water, poured it into his stomach, and smacked his lips in satisfaction. ,come over.

His actions made Zhu Zixin and Nan Gongxi feel that they were too drunk.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Xi ordered:

"Colin, go and get me a spoonful of water."

Colin didn't speak, turned around and went again, scooped up a spoonful of water and walked over quickly, Nangong Xi was about to reach out to pick it up, but unexpectedly he handed the spoon to Zhu Zixin.

Zhu Zixin took it with some embarrassment, and handed it to Nangong Xi, saying:

"You drink first."

Nangong Xi smiled, and said: "I almost forgot about you, it's better for Colin, for you!"

After speaking, he turned to look at Colin and asked:
"Colin?"

Nangong Xi was a prince after all, she didn't expect to be rejected in such a way, and asked with a bit of uncontrollable expression on her face.

"I... am... Zixin's... Yin..."

Colin stammered and replied.

"..."

Nan Gongxi was speechless, depressed, so in Ke Lin's eyes, the position of prince is just a cloud!

Nangongxi really regretted it at this time, why did she keep him by Zixin's side?Why keep him?

"Ah……"

Seeing Nangongxi's expression changing like a kaleidoscope, Zhu Zixin couldn't help being amused by him, and explained:
"Kelin is from southern Xinjiang. He doesn't know much about the Central Plains. He probably doesn't know that you are the prince. Don't worry, I will tell him in the future."

"Forget it. If he can swear to protect you to the death like yesterday, I won't keep him in vain. As for me, he can do whatever he wants, or ignore him!"

Nangong Xi waved her hand and said.

"Heh... You can think about it!"

Zhu Zixin smiled.

At this time, the old lady came out with a bowl of steamed sweet potatoes and put them on the table. Seeing this, several people didn't care to talk, and hurriedly took the sweet potatoes and started to eat them.

But the ensuing problems appeared in front of them. When they first came, they were too anxious and didn't pay much attention to the problem of sleeping. Only now did they realize that there seemed to be only one room left for the old woman besides her own room.How does this make them sleep?

After eating full, I became more sleepy, Zhu Zixin asked the old woman while laughing, "Old woman, is there a bed, can you let us sleep for a while?"

"I only have two rooms here, and there are no extra rooms."

The old woman glanced at the three of them and said.

"Only one room!"

The old woman held out a finger and repeated it again.

"..."

One bed for three people?

Zhu Zixin fainted, how could she sleep like this?
"You husband and wife sleep first, let him sleep in my room. Use a broken door to build a bed to make do with it."

The old woman pointed to the thatched hut at the back, and after she finished speaking, she dragged Colin into her own room.

"Ehhh..."

Colin anxiously wanted to tell the old woman that the two of them were not a couple, but after all, he spoke too badly in the Central Plains, so he couldn't say anything in this hurry. into the house.

"You child is too ignorant. When people talk to each other, you should avoid it. Why are you still sticking around?"

"..."

Just after entering the door, the old lady scolded Colin.

"Hahaha...I didn't expect the old lady to avenge me!"

Hearing the sound coming from the house, Nangong Xi happily pointed at the hut and smiled.

"You can still laugh, how do you sleep in this bed?"

Zhu Zixin's sleepy eyes could hardly be opened, and he said lazily.

"You sleep! You sleep! A husband-in-law will naturally give way to a lady."

Nangong Xi continued to talk poorly.

"Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey!"

Seeing that he listened to the old woman's words, Zhu Zixin was as happy as a child, and didn't want to talk to him, so he got up and went to the hut.

But unexpectedly, Nangong Xi also followed.

"What are you here for?"

Zhu Zixin turned around and couldn't help asking.

"Since you are pretending to be a husband and wife, you can't sleep while I sit outside? This way, the old woman will be suspicious!"

What Nangong Xi said was a matter of course.

"Then you just sit there!"

Zhu Zixin pointed to the small stool in the corner and said something, then turned around and went to sleep.

Being so sleepy, she quickly fell asleep.

Nangongxi looked at her back and smiled sincerely. Even so, he felt that as long as he could be alone with Zixin for a while, he would be satisfied.

Seeing that she was breathing evenly, Nan Gongxi approached, carefully covered her with the quilt, and as expected walked to the corner and sat down.

Besides, the team led by Zhu Ziyi and Ye Ming drove this empty carriage, the two of them rode on horses to protect the left and right, and there was a long one behind the carriage, which seemed to have 200 people The team looks the same as Nan Gongxi before.

"Ye Ming, tell me, where are the prince and the others now?"

After walking all night and half a day, Zhu Ziyi felt a little tired, so he asked boringly.

"It shouldn't be far. Although the path is said to be faster, it's snowing and the road is difficult to walk. They all have injuries on their bodies. It's really worrying!"

Hearing this, Ye Ming said in a heavy tone, this is what he has been worrying about all along.

"You are right! However, this is the order of the prince, and we did not follow it! We only hope that we can divert Nan Gongxun's attention."

After Zhu Ziyi finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the carriage continued to move forward.

This time, not long after walking, when passing through a dense forest, a group of people suddenly jumped out from the side of the road. These people were all masked and dressed in black.

These people jumped out without any nonsense, and directly raised their swords and slashed. Zhu Ziyi and Ye Ming hurriedly led their people to fight, and the two sides immediately fought together.

Ye Ming took the lead and rushed straight to the enemy's position, and deliberately shouted: "All soldiers, protect the prince!"

The guards behind saw that Ye Ming and Zhu Ziyi were so desperate, so they were greatly encouraged, and they also fought hard to kill the enemy.

Every one of Nan Gongxun's team is not weak in martial arts. After fighting for a long time, half of Zhu Ziyi's people were killed. It seems that this time Nan Gongxun is bound to win this time, but it's a pity. He's chasing the wrong guy!

Although it is very difficult for Ye Ming and Zhu Ziyi to deal with Nan Gongxun's people, they are very relieved when they think that they have diverted Nan Gongxun's attention.

However, soon, the attackers killed many more guards.

Seeing that they could not win, the two had no choice but to retreat and order their men to surround the carriage to fight the enemy.

However, the general situation was over at this time, even if they resisted desperately, they still could not be forced back by the enemy.

"Young Master Zhu, hurry up, this subordinate is dead!"

Seeing that Ye Ming was powerless to resist, he was afraid that the secrets in the carriage would be peeped by these people, so Zhu Ziyi said.

Zhu Ziyi naturally understood his intentions. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Ye Ming with emotion. However, time did not allow him to waste time. He killed an enemy approaching him with a sword, and then said: "Ye Ming Guard, I leave this to you!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and hit the horse, and left like flying.

Seeing them leaving, Ye Ming yelled: "The guards obey orders, defend the country, defend the crown prince, even death is an honor, everyone give me!"

Everyone has been driven to a dead end, if they don't fight hard to kill the enemy, there is only one dead end.

A guard also shouted: "Kill! Kill one back, kill two and earn one, kill three and earn a pair, kill ten and we'll make a fortune!"

After finishing speaking, he even raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahahahahahaha..."

When everyone heard such bold words, they all regarded death as home, and all rushed towards the enemy.

There was a sound of swords and guns clashing, and everyone killed together.

However, after all, there is a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, and they are outnumbered. Even if they desperately killed the enemy, they were still unable to turn the tide, and eventually all died in the hands of the enemy.

Besides, Zhu Ziyi led half of the people to rush all the way, and chose the road that no one took to escape. That group of people is too powerful, I am afraid that even if Ye Ming leads all the guards to die in the line of duty, they may not be able to stop them.

The only thing I can do now is to avoid them, and everything will be fine when I return to the capital.
