Chapter 382
Xiao Nan was helpless, but fortunately, when he was about to run out, an ox cart drove in front of him.
"Sir, can you give me a ride?" Xiao Nan's current appearance is really not normal.
The old man who drove the cattle stopped the ox cart, slowly raised a pair of shrewd eyes, looked Xiao Nan up and down like a refugee, and paused before saying, "Where is the little boy going?" I'm going into town.
Only then did Xiao Nan see clearly that the old man was coarse and linen, and although his face under the hat had been left traces by the years, it was white, and the beard on his chin was gray and long, looking clean and silky.
looks like this, if you change your clothes, you look like a person who is hugging from front to back, and the house is full of children and grandchildren.
Xiao Nan was relieved: "Great, I'm going to go to the city too."
After the old man nodded in agreement, Xiao Nan climbed into the ox cart and sat behind the old man, squeezing with seven or eight baskets.
Xiao Nan stared at the old man's hat for a long time: This old guy is not an ordinary person, but if he is normal, when he sees my blood-stained face, he will only hide as far as he wants.
And there was no wave in the eyes of this person who looked at me just now, so it can be said that his face did not change.
I can't care so much, there is no store in front of the village here, and after entering the city, I am slowly trying to figure out a way.
First of all, I have to send a letter to my sister-in-law to report her safety.
The ox cart swayed slowly, and when Xiao Nan was thinking about how to make money, the old man handed over water and food, interrupting his thoughts.
"Where did the little boy come from, and how did he end up here?"
Xiao Nan took the things gratefully, and seeing the many fresh fruits and vegetables in the basket, he avoided the question and asked, "Did the old gentleman go to the city to do fruit and vegetable business?" Your fruits and vegetables look like they're all high-quality and can sell for a lot of money, right? "
Fruit and vegetable business? Hahahaha..."The old man smiled and thought for a while, and then said: "I am doing business in the city, and it is all small business, and I will support my family. Realizing
that Xiao Nan held the things in his hands and didn't move, the old man turned his head sideways and said, "Things are clean, young man, thinking too much will only increase your troubles!" Take things as they come!
Xiao Nan smiled awkwardly, "What the old gentleman said is that I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, and when I arrive, please call me." The
old man looked straight ahead and hummed lightly.
Xiao Nan leaned on the basket, shaking, and really fell asleep.
.
The people of Fengyi, who were running on the official road, suddenly heard an eagle's call, and when they looked up, two peregrine falcons circled overhead.
This is the domesticated 'information postman' under Feng Yi, alert and fast.
Feng Yi took the lead in stopping the horse: "Let's see if His Highness has any new news."
After a while, the subordinate who read the note said: "General, over there in the suburbs, Qichuan broke through alone, the fifth child led people to chase him, the third person is doing the aftermath of the villagers, and the rest go into the tunnel to find His Royal Highness; In addition, there was a letter from the father-in-law of the capital Yao, and the sword guards and the father-in-law of Xiao Nanzi did not return to the palace last night.
Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense body loosened a little.
After a little thought, he guessed Qi Chuan's plan.
Fortunately, His Highness was resourceful and minimized the damage.
Yanglou should have been settled last night, otherwise His Royal Highness would not have appeared in time, and the two did not return to the palace, so something happened halfway?
That's it, as a close guard of His Royal Highness, Dao Xing's own martial arts are not low, if he is really in danger, if he doesn't even have the ability to save himself, there is no need to continue to stay by His Highness's side to serve, as for Xiao Nanzi...
Feng Yi's mind appeared Xiao Nan's flattering face beside His Royal Highness on weekdays, and snorted lightly: There is only one eunuch left and right, and there are many in the palace.
The lines of his side face were stiff, the reins in his hand were tightened, and he turned his horse and ordered: "You will go back to the capital with me and perform your duties." "
The emperor didn't know about this operation, Feng Yi wanted to rush back in time, if there was a villain in the emperor's ear, he would stand up in time to stop it, so as not to provoke the relationship between the two sisters and brothers.
Subordinate: "But Your Highness?
"Your Highness has been freed, there is no danger, let's go!" Feng Yi took the lead and quickly whipped towards the capital, and the people behind him immediately chased after him.
Jiang Wu in the tunnel had no intention of turning back to meet Feng Yi's people, the tunnel was full of suspicions here, and she wanted to find out.
She left her own mark along the way, exploring and moving forward.
.
"Little boy? Little boy, it's here.
Xiao Nan reached out and rubbed his somewhat hazy vision, and the pain from the wounds on his forehead and hands made him sober up a little.
The red glow on the horizon was covered with a layer of orange light, and people came and went at the city gate in the evening.
He looked up, and the city head was impressively engraved with the two big characters 'Xuanzhou'.
Xiao Nan jumped down from the ox cart and bowed to the old man: "Thank you, old man, this is the reward."
"It's just a drop-by!" When the old man saw the gold leaf handed over by Xiao Nan, his words of resignation were stuck in his throat, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Little boy doesn't have to be so polite. Curiosity
made him take it and take a closer look: he had never seen a gold leaf of this shape in his lifetime in business.
Familiar and unfamiliar.
Saying goodbye to the old man, Xiao Nan was not in a hurry to enter the city, he was like this, and the soldiers guarding the city gate probably wouldn't let him in.
Just now, a few vegetable leaves were smoothed in the basket on the ox cart, and Xiao Nan planned to use these leaves to give himself a makeover.
On the second day, Xiao Nan, who was sleeping soundly in the inn, was woken up by the gongs and drums downstairs, he turned over and pulled the quilt to cover his ears.
However, the sound was too loud, and the noise made people impetuous.
Xiao Nan got out of bed impatiently, got dressed, and called the guys in the store loudly.
"Guest, what's the matter?" Xiao Er came quickly, laughing, and nodding.
"You inn doesn't care about such a loud noise, it's going to affect business."
"I'm really sorry, today Xuanzhou Taishou continued to play the strings, blowing a little louder, I hope the guest officer will understand."
Xiao Nan turned around and walked to the window, supporting the window with a wooden stick, the downstairs greeting team blocked the street, and the people standing on both sides bowed their heads and whispered in twos and threes, none of them had a smile on their faces, except for the matchmaker who followed the sedan chair.
"Again? This is too much to keep the previous man-sama continued? Xiao Nan just asked casually.
Xiao Er's expression instantly became frightened, and he quickly removed the wooden stick and closed the window: "Ouch, hey! You can spare the little one, the little one didn't say anything, he didn't say anything, since you are awake, the little one will go and prepare some food for the guest officer.
"As for it? This Xuanzhou's Taishou is so terrifying? The wind-like figure of that little guy made Xiao Nan sigh.
Last night, Xiao Nan had already sent a letter to the capital to report his safety, presumably at this time, the letter had already left the city.
Once, when he was serving Jiang Cheng's pen and ink, he accidentally saw the recital of Xuanzhou Taishou's table, which probably meant that 'although most of the courtiers followed Qi Cheng to build a canal for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, this Taishou was supportive, and he was willing to donate all the money he had accumulated over the years, and even did not hesitate to pull down his face and mobilize Xuanzhou officials, wealthy businessmen, and raise a large amount of silver for the court' At that time, Jiang Wu's face
could not be seen. I saw her pick up the pen and mark a quasi-word on the folding.
Otherwise, help her find out the truth about Xuanzhou.
Xiao Nan thought about it, the porridge bowl in his hand had bottomed out, and the steamed buns and side dishes on the plate were also dazzled by him.
I got up and went downstairs to the counter and paid for the room for another three days before leaving the inn.
Tonight, the moon and a cloud chase, sometimes caught and completely obscured, sometimes poked out.
Xiao Nan, who was dressed in a night suit, wore a mask and left only a pair of eyes outside, taking advantage of the thick night to climb over the wall and slip into the courtyard of the Taishou.
During the day, he spent a lot of money to listen to the gossip of Xuanzhou Taishou.
Xuanzhou Taishou Wu Renqing did not do much in political achievements after taking office, but the reputation of this wife is well known, and it is still an affectionate person to say it, people never accept concubines, and every lady is a big deal after her death, and the team carrying up the mountain is more than five times larger than the team that greets relatives, and the clothes and jewelry that accompany the funeral, and the calligraphy and painting are one box after another.
Lord Wu is also a must to cry the grave, and when he goes home, he will eat fasting and chant Buddha for three months to commemorate his beloved wife.
Today I married this girl and I am the 7th lady.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, because his family got into a lawsuit, Wu Renqing helped a lot, and the girl was married as a thank you gift.
Xiao Nan avoided the guards and followed Wu Renqing all the way, and finally saw this drunken and erratic adult enter the cave room.
Without the slightest hesitation, he flew onto the roof, and when Lord Wu made a noise, he lightly uncovered a piece of roof tiles.
The middle-aged man in the wedding robe staggered to the table and sat down, took off his hat, and waved away the subordinate who helped him in: "Go out, this official wants to play something new with the new lady tonight, you don't have to wait."
Xiao Nan could just see the girl sitting on the bed, her small body wrapped in a wide wedding robe, a little trembling, and an aggrieved and immature cry came from under the hijab.
The man who was pouring wine was visibly stiff, and he carefully observed the new lady on the bed.
After a while, Xiao Nan heard the sound of the wine glass slamming on the table, only to see Master Wu get up and pull off the red hijab, and then raised his hand to press his temples, as if he was not drunk, and had a very headache: "Why are you!" "
The girl under the hijab is eighteen or nineteen, and she looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
"Woo woo, my sister said she didn't want to die, my sister said she was my aunt's daughter, I was a concubine, and I could only keep the family safe if I got married, woo woo..."
Please let me go back. I, I, I don't want to get married.
Xiao Nan seemed to hear a sigh, "Since you are married to this official, you can be Mrs. Taishou well, and in the future, don't think about going back."
Then, Xiao Nan saw Wu Renqing bending down to pick up the little girl and put her on the bed, his fists clenched so loudly that he was resentful: Beast! Brute!
