Chapter 302: Cher Appears
On the royal boat, Zhang Shufang's plump and fragrant delicate body leaned on Cheng Yue's left hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to the people who were holding torches to deliver things: "The official's move to collect his heart is really clever, but I am afraid that Zhang Hongfan and them will see through it." ”
Cheng Yue said lazily: "What is there to see?" I've always been like this, and it's not a deliberate pretense here, it's useless for them to have any ideas, this is a conspiracy. ”
Lilac came up behind Cheng Yue and said softly: "Official, it's almost time to rest, the slave family is coming tomorrow, and I want to serve the official well tonight." ”
Cheng Yue smiled, patted Rou Niang and Zhang Shufang's fragrant buttocks, and said, "Okay, there's nothing to look at, let's go into the room." ”
The concubines around him laughed and got up together, Cheng Yue also stood up, stretched his waist, hugged Rou Niang and Zhang Shufang's waists and walked in.
After walking a few steps, Cheng Yue seemed to suddenly hear something, and his steps stopped, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Seeing this, all the concubines also stopped and listened attentively.
The people on the shore also made a noise at this time, and men and women shouted loudly, but there were too many people shouting, interfering with each other, so that Cheng Yue couldn't hear what was going on for a while.
Cheng Yue was a little uneasy, walked to the side of the boat, leaned over and looked at the shore.
After a while, I saw two stumbling figures on the shore running towards Cheng Yue's imperial boat, and in the distance behind, there were more than a dozen people riding horses and holding torches, chasing these two people closely. For the people of the shore were blocking their way, and they were shouting and scolding, and they beat the unarmed people with their whips.
After the people on the shore saw the people behind them clearly, the noise just now disappeared immediately. One by one, they were silent. Silently hid on the side of the road. The pursuers were in a hurry at this time. Seeing that the two people were being chased closer and closer by them.
Ye Yiyi went to get the infrared telescope, and Cheng Yue took it in his hand and put it on his eyes. Only then did I see that the two figures were a man and a woman, they were all Han people, and their looks were not very real.
The two of them looked up at the royal boat and ran faster. Soon ran to the dock by the boat. There were guards on duty at the docks, and they immediately reached out to stop them.
Cheng Yue took advantage of the fire on the dock to finally see the appearance of the two people. The man was good-looking, strong and healthy, and he was anxiously kneeling on the ground and saying something to the guards.
The woman kneeling next to her was very beautiful and generous, and she had a heroic spirit unique to northern women. Now this beautiful face is full of pleading, and she is also saying something to the protectors.
Cheng Yue was moved by compassion, walked down the stairs, and came to the deck. Xiao Zhen immediately moved a chair, and Cheng Yue sat down. Ordered the guards to bring the two men up.
When the two of them heard the order from the protectors, they kowtowed to the imperial boat again and again with ecstatic faces. Then he was taken aboard by Mafu.
At this time, the pursuers behind the two had arrived, all of them were cavalry, and the three Mongols were in the lead, and the others were Khitans and Jurchens. When I saw the imperial boat, I was surprised, knowing that it was Cheng Yue's boat, although I was unwilling, I didn't dare to make a mistake, I got off the horse far away, gathered together and stood in place, as if waiting for someone to come.
A man and a woman were taken on the royal boat and came to Cheng Yue. Seeing that Cheng Yue was extraordinary and handsome, exactly the same as the legendary Dadudu, the two hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Cheng Yue waved his hand gently: "Excuse me, what are you doing?" What is your name? Why did you come here? Tell me about it. ”
The man raised his head and responded: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the younger one is Orion, named Shi Song, and she is the sister Xue'er, both of whom are from Teng County." A few days ago, the Great Khan passed down a holy decree to select five beauties from the world to enrich the prince's harem. Originally, it was nothing, but when Tutmur saw her sister, she moved her hands and feet, wanting her sister to serve him first and then send her to Dadu, but her sister refused and kicked Tutmur's life. Tutmoor was kicked and wounded by her sister, and was so angry that she wanted to kill us, so we escaped. There is no endless road, and the Governor's ship is right here. The little one thinks that if there is anyone in the world who can protect us from being killed and seek justice for us, then there is only the Grand Governor. So I ran here desperately with my sister, begging the Metropolitan Governor for help! After saying this, the two of them fell to the ground again, refusing to get up.
Cheng Yue had already learned about this, Kublai Khan wanted to select five women from the world to give real gold, the fundamental reason was to compensate for the real gold forced to lose cloves, so it seems that the information sent back by cloves made Kublai Khan very satisfied.
Cheng Yue couldn't help but smile and said with interest: "Then how did you escape?" Not easy, right? ”
Shi Song heard the suspicion in Cheng Yue's words, and was so anxious that he kowtowed again, and said: "Dadu Governor Rongyu, after the sister-in-law injured Tutmur, the little one saw that the situation was not good, and immediately knocked down several of the entourage around Tutmur, and pulled the sister-in-law to grab the horse and rush out of the house. The rest of Tutmoor's entourage didn't know what was going on inside, so they went to see what was going on in Tutmur before chasing them down. Halfway through, the little one dismounted at a fork in the road, and let the two horses run the other way to lead away the pursuers, and the little one and the housekeeper ran this way, so they were able to run here. From the beginning to the end, there is no lie to the small one, if the governor doesn't believe it, just kill the small one, but beg for the life of the younger sister! ”
Cheng Yue has been carefully observing the subtle changes in his expression while he is speaking, and he can basically conclude that what he said is true. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you." But that Tutmoor is acting on orders, and you say that he wants to defile your sister and there is no physical evidence, so why should I meddle in this matter? Do you want me to make myself an enemy of real gold and the Great Khan for the sake of a woman? ”
Shi Song was stunned for a moment, looking at Cheng Yue's face at a loss. Yes, although the Grand Governor has this power, why does he use it? What's in it for him? Is it worth it for a woman you don't know? What if Cher is pretty? Are there few beauties favored by the Metropolitan Governor?
Xue'er had been beside her without saying a word, and at this time she suddenly raised her head and said calmly: "The Metropolitan Governor is obviously willing to help, why do you embarrass my brother like this?" Xue'er is a weak woman, she can't repay her, and she is willing to serve the Metropolitan Governor from now on, if the Metropolitan Governor does not allow it, Xue'er will die in the water! ”
Cheng Yue looked at Xue'er with a little surprise and said, "Where did you know that I am willing to help you?" If you are willing to serve me, why are you not willing to serve that Tutmoor? ”
Xue'er said: "If the Metropolitan Governor doesn't want to care about us, just talk about it left and right, or say that we are lying, and there is no need to say such things for who we offend." ”
Cheng Yue looked Xue'er up and down in surprise, nodded with a smile, and said, "Go on." ”
Xue'er was overjoyed in her heart, and plucked up her courage and said: "That Tutmoor, under the pretext of being a beauty pageant for the crown prince to fulfill his selfish desires, how can this kind of person always be safe and smooth?" Sooner or later, the family will be ruined, and although Xue'er is a woman, she also understands this truth. The Metropolitan Governor is a famous hero in the world, how to choose Cher, do you still need to bother? ”
Cheng Yue laughed, applauded a few times, and said: "What a smart woman, and she is bold enough, no wonder Daru Huachi dares to kick the east and west roads of the mountain!" Insightful, courageous, it's not rude to ask me here, not low, good, I like it! Then as you wish, you can follow me in the future, your brother can also be called brave and strategic, you can temporarily serve as a guard by my side, and I will arrange it later, do you think it is okay? ”
Shi Song was overjoyed, Xue'er smiled shyly, and saluted Cheng Yue together.
Cheng Yue helped them up with his own hands and said with a smile: "You stand next to me first, and wait for me to send those people away." Who else is in the house? Do you want to take it together? ”
Shi Song said: "Thank you Dadudu, only our brother and sister are dependent on each other in the family, except for a few animal skins, there is nothing of value." Small...... No, the subordinates were thinking just now, should they sign the deed of sale first, so that the Metropolitan Governor can prevaricate those people. ”
Cheng Yue waved his hand and smiled: "You don't need to sign it, if I can keep you, it is the same whether there is a deed of sale or not, if I can't keep you, will they put a piece of paper in their eyes?" ”
Shi Song and Xue'er were thoroughly ordered by Cheng Yue, and they couldn't help but admire Cheng Yue spontaneously. Cheng Yue is unwilling to bind them with a deed of sale, so he is really a person worthy of trust.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, coming from far and near, straight to Cheng Yue's boat. Xue'er bent down and whispered in Cheng Yue's ear: "Dadu Governor, it must be that Tutmur who is here, I heard that he is a close confidant of Shandong Recruit Envoy Almerse, and there are also people in the court who support him, and he has always been rampant, although Dadu Governor is not afraid of him, but don't be too careless about this kind of person." ”
Cheng Yue turned his head to look at her, smiled, and didn't answer.
Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi heard on the boat that something had happened on Cheng Yue's side, but they didn't know the details, but they knew that Tutmore was chasing two people, and these two people had fled to the Dadu Governor's ship, and it seemed that they were protected by the Dadu Governor.
As soon as the two discussed, they were worried that there would be an accident, so they ordered the boat to put down a flat boat and run towards Cheng Yue's boat.
Tutmoor was kicked by Cher in the root of his life, and the pain was so painful that he sent more than a dozen people to chase him, but there was no return for half a day. Finally relieved, lost face, was furious, led two hundred horsemen of the pro-army, chased all the way, but I didn't expect to receive the news that the two brothers and sisters actually fled to Cheng Yue's royal boat parked on the shore!
Ignorant of the stakes, Tutmur acted on his orders and led his troops to chase him to the docks. Up and down the boat, the lights were brilliant, and Cheng Yue's guards guarded the dock very tightly. Looking at it again, the dozen or so people he had sent to chase before were standing outside the dock, obviously waiting for him. (To be continued......)
