Chapter 108 Small Village by the River

Chapter 108 Small Village by the River

Xiaonan Mountain is a small barren mountain, which can be seen more than ten miles from the south gate of the capital, but there are no Anxiang Garden or Mingxiang Garden nearby, and it is full of wilderness.

It was getting late, and four carriages were parked on the side of the road. Marquis Guiyi stuck his head out of the car window, "Master Zhang, are you coming soon?"

Zhang Yanghao looked at the barren mountains from afar, and said with a guilty conscience, "It's coming soon, it should be... coming soon."

The area in the south of Beijing is relatively desolate. The Guiyi Hou family did not care to hide their tracks, so they jumped out of the car one after another. They saw the sunset halfway down and the tired birds entering the forest. The scenery was still very beautiful, but there were no pedestrians on the official road. Located in the village, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like a garden of a noble family.

"Is there Xiaonan Mountain in front of you?" Eldest Young Master Jin said.

"Didn't you say that someone will pick you up, where is the person?" Second Young Master Jin looked down the official road.

"It's deceitful, you guys are too credulous. I've said it long ago that a few of us, our father and son, can run a few hundred miles away today." .

Zhang Yanghao caught a glimpse of the weapon in her hand, and his heart fluttered, "It's said that someone will come to pick him up before it gets dark, but it's still a while, Lin Kunshan is a trustworthy person and will never lie to us, that will not benefit him either. "

"Maybe he will report to the official and lead the Jin family out, and everyone will get all the money." Jin Chuiduo said coldly.

There was a woman's cry in the carriage, followed by a burst of sobbing, and Hou Guiyi said angrily, "Don't scare your mother, she's timid."

Jin Chuiduo made a sound that sounded like a hum and a hum, and looked around, looking for signs of ambush, and it turned out that she was the first to spot those who came, "Is it those people?"

Everyone looked into the wilderness, and there was a path blocked by trees. At this moment, more than a dozen people were running towards the official road, and their figures flickered.

Before he could see clearly, Zhang Yanghao did not dare to answer. The Jin family showed their weapons one after another, and even Marquis Guiyi drew out their swords.

Those people came near, dressed in rags, not like officers and soldiers, not like Jianghu people, but more like a group of refugees, a man in his thirties said loudly: "Are you going north?"

This was the code that was negotiated beforehand. Zhang Yanghao hurriedly dismounted and said, "The scorching sun is in the sky, can you point me to a bright road?"

The Jin family was happy, only Jin Chuiduo frowned, disliking these specious words.

The man stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Xia Chaohua, I have been waiting here for a long time, please dismount and leave the carriage."

Jin Chuiduo drew her bow slightly and said loudly: "Wait, let's make it clear first, how do we go without a horse or a car?"

Jin Chuiduo's appearance is outstanding, Chao Hua's eyes are downcast, and he is embarrassed to look at her, "These horses and carts will continue to move forward, and another new car will be used to transport you."

Marquis Guiyi winked at his two sons and asked them to stop in front of his sister. He went to call out his family. The three wives and concubines in total were so frightened that they had already turned pale with fright. When they got out of the car, Marquis Guiyi surrounded them and held their hands. Don't let go of your arms.

Marquis Guiyi couldn't move, so he had to ask his eldest son to take out the prisoners in another car.

Han Ruzi got out of the car, turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital. The trees were blocking it, and he couldn't even see the city wall.

Qilang and the other three were tied together and taken out of the city. Zhang Yanghao insisted on doing so. He spoke too hastily and forgot to avoid it. For the time being, he hadn't figured out what to do with them, so he had to stay by his side.

The four coachmen, servants of the Jin family, came down to stand with their master.

More than a dozen visitors got into the car, shouted skillfully, and continued along the official road, leaving only Chao Hua to accompany the Guiyihou family.

In the wilderness, without going to the village or going to the store, the sky is getting darker and darker, and everyone can't help but be afraid. The three wives and concubines kept wiping tears on Hou Ye's body, which made Jin Chuiduo restless. Stopped by two brothers.

Zhang Yanghao was not at ease and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Lin come?"

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see him soon." Chao Hua was really in no hurry, he walked steadily to Marquis Juan, looked at it for a moment, and bowed his hands deeply, "The Caomin has seen His Majesty."

Han Ruzi hadn't heard someone call him "Your Majesty" for a long time. He couldn't help but stunned for a moment. He grudgingly sighed and said nothing.

The others were even more surprised than him. Zhang Yanghao hesitated when he heard the sound of hooves and asked, "Chao Hua, is that yours?"

"It should be." Chao Hua stood on the side of the road. Not long after, three carriages drove from the direction of entering the city and stopped in front of everyone. A driver nodded at Chao Hua, and the two clearly knew each other.

"Please get in the car." Chao Hua pointed to the three cars, "The female family members, please get in the middle car, and the others in the front and rear cars..."

No one moved, not because they were suspicious, but because these cars were too broken. The mules were pulling the cars.

"Is this the kind of car that Mr. Lin sent?" Even Zhang Yanghao couldn't stand it.

Chao Hua smiled and said, "Are you guys going to escape from the capital quietly, or are you going to play around in beautiful scenery?"

Zhang Yanghao understood, "Yes, we can no longer ride in a gorgeous carriage to arouse suspicion from the government. Everyone, hurry up and get on the carriage... Uh, I want to stay in the capital, but I don't want to run away."

The Jin family did not retreat. Qilang and the other three frequently looked at Zhang Yanghao, but they did not get a response, so they could only get into the car.

Han Ruzi and Jin's father and son were in the same car, and no one looked at each other. After walking a long way, the second son of Jin said, "It seems that there has been no turning, we are going back to the capital!"

Others found it too. Marquis Guiyi looked out of the car several times, but the night was getting darker and he couldn't see anything, so he comforted himself: "We want to go back to the grassland, so naturally we have to go north, but it's getting late. Can't enter the city today..."

"What can you get back to the grassland?" Han Ruzi had been puzzled by this for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

Marquis Guiyi and the eldest son didn't hear it, and the second son of Jin said angrily, "As long as you don't get angry in the capital, you can go anywhere."

"But you don't have to go back to the grassland. Your family has returned to righteousness for a long time. I'm afraid... you can't adapt to the life there." Han Ruzi had never been to the grassland, and just based on the records in the book, he felt that the Jin family could not move an inch in Saibei, maybe It's that Miss Jin Chuiduo can last longer.

Jin Da and Jin Er lowered their heads and said nothing. They wanted to escape from the capital, but they did not make up their minds to go to the grasslands.

Marquis Guiyi sighed, "If Prince Du is not dead... Da Danyu welcomes the Jin family back, don't worry, he will still welcome us. This is the glory of the Jin family and also the glory of Da Chanyu."

Marquis Guiyi was comforting his two sons, and Han Ruzi on one side understood. Prince Du claimed to be able to bring the Jin family back to the grassland. Now that he is dead, this promise has become less reliable.

"If Dong Danyu really wants you to go back, he should send someone to pick him up, or temporarily withdraw his troops to paralyze the frontier guards of Da Chu. Did the Huns do these things?"

Marquis Guiyi said nothing, and said after a while, "Prince Du knows this..."

The vehicle swayed even more violently, as if it had turned into a rough road. Several people held onto the carriage tightly and stopped talking. Han Ruzi thought to himself, it seemed that the Jin family was in a lot of trouble, and it was really unfortunate that he was implicated in it.

After walking on the bumpy road for a long time, it stopped in the middle of the night. Chao Hua asked everyone to get off.

Marquis Guiyi's three wives and concubines were all sore and weak, the maid supported one, Marquis Guiyi helped two by herself, and Jin Chuiduo refused to help, but she had nothing to do, holding the bow and watching everywhere vigilantly.

They entered a village by the water. It was not big, only dozens of thatched huts, all of which were in tatters, with only a few lights, a dog barked, and soon disappeared.

"This is Anxiang Garden?" Zhang Yanghao said in surprise, this was too different from what he expected, and it was hard to believe that there was such a broken village near the capital.

"There has never been An Fragrance Garden." Chao Hua said coldly, "This is the Hebian Village. Everyone, take a rest first."

"Is it temporary?" Hou Guiyi asked hesitantly.

"Where's Mr. Lin? Are you here?" Zhang Yanghao only cared about this matter.

Chao Hua didn't answer, and began to arrange accommodation, called out two old women, and took away the female dependents. Marquis Gui Yi became more and more panicked, but did not dare to resist.

Chao Hua arranged a separate room for Marquis Juan. No one else dared to make a sound. Jin Chuiduo quit and stepped forward and said, "Wait, this is the captive I took, not yours."

Chao Hua said indifferently, "What is Miss going to do? Do you want to guard him personally?"

Jin Chuiduo was about to take the arrow, "I want your guarantee that you won't let him go privately or take him to other places. I heard you call him 'Your Majesty', even if he is still the emperor now, it is me captive, understand?"

Chao Hua said with a smile: "Understood, the location of Hebian Village is remote, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and people inside cannot easily get out, so don't worry, miss."

Han Ruzi didn't even know where he was, and he really couldn't escape. He honestly entered the designated house and sat on the low kang without any sleepiness.

Chao Hua said before exiting, "I feel sorry for Your Majesty, things will get better soon."

Han Ruzi wanted to stop this person and ask him to clarify, but he felt that Chao Hua would not reveal the truth to himself, so he snorted, Ren Chaohua closed the door outside, and heard the sound of the lock, he was imprisoned.

As time passed, the stockade became quiet, and the only sounds of insects and frogs came and went, which reminded Han Ruzi of his back garden, the scene of a night tour with his wife, and suddenly his heart ached. Isn't it good to stay at home and be tired?

Soon after, he remembered that it was because he was worried that the stable life of Hou Juan would not last long, so he acted rashly, but he did not expect to lose the stability he had obtained.

He stood up, touched the door, pushed it gently, and groped to the side again to see if there was any possibility of escaping.

Never sit still, that was all he had in mind.

The wall was mixed with soil and straw, and it felt very rough to the touch. Han Ruzi touched it for half a circle, and a low voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Hey, are you awake?"

Han Ruzi immediately returned to the door and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see a vague figure.

"It's you?"

"It's me." Sure enough, it was Jin Chuiduo's voice. After a pause, she continued, "Run away with me."
