Chapter 7 The Road is Narrow
At dawn, it was the darkest hour, but everyone began to stumble again, not even daring to light the torches.
Although this place is far away from the Heiao Ridge where the battle just now.
The atmosphere was a bit chilly.
Not only were officers and soldiers killed, but several villagers were also killed and several people were injured in this battle. Being a mule is dangerous, it used to be just a rumor, but now it really befell them.
In one breath, after running wildly for more than ten miles, the eastern sky gradually brightened, and everyone sat down, took out dry food, and ate hastily by a small stream.
The woman and the maidservant consciously distanced themselves from the group.
They were also eating, a few pieces of bread, made of real white flour.
Wang Ju walked over and asked, "May I ask the lady's name?" ”
"Big ......" the word "big " had not yet been spoken, so the woman stopped her. It's just a bit rude, the Song Dynasty generally asked a woman to ask her surname, how many ranked, such as the surname Zhao, ranked ninth, then called Zhao Jiu Niangzi, but no one asked the name, unless it was when the female prisoner was tortured.
But Wang Ju had to ask, what happened, but there were two women of unknown origin mixed in the team, if you didn't ask, could you kill them?
"The concubine's name is Zhao Niannu."
A very common name.
"Slave, good name."
The woman's nickname was slave, and as the boy read her nickname, a layer of shame poured out of her long neck.
"Where's your official?"
"My official is in the Central Plains."
"Who did you come to Yanzhou with?"
The woman hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The mother-in-law is vicious, the official is rude, and the concubine leaves the Central Plains to scatter her heart." ”
Gotta believe it.
Because she has no need to lie. Even if they lie, if there is a family in Yanzhou and they have been missing for several days, I believe that they are also looking for them all over the city, then Zhu Qingdong's family will come out as soon as they inquire.
However, Wang Ju still said: "Scattered? Mount Tai, Yangzhou, Hangzhou West Lake, where can you not relax, how to run to the border? ”
"Coincidence." The woman hung her head, clearly not wanting to discuss the issue.
"Go further, we will break up with the owner, they will go to Yanzhou City, we will go back to the village, you have to go with me." Wang Ju glanced at Zhu Qing, who was not far away, and whispered.
"Why did I go with you?"
"Otherwise, you will ...... Dangerous. ”
"What are you talking about," said the concubine.
"As you can see, this line of work is very dangerous, so there are many inexplicable taboos, although I have made some arrangements, but changes are always breaking the plan, to put it mildly, you are not clear...... Gotta come with me. Don't worry, I'm not another villager, and I'm much younger than Zhao Niangzi, so I won't snatch it back to be a lady. ”
Wang Ju tried to use a joking tone as much as possible.
But the young woman understood, they appeared a little strange, and they had nothing to do with the private salt business, and now they had killed so many officers and soldiers, and the mountain people had little knowledge, and they might not understand, but the other side was different, and they might kill people.
She snorted at her sister-in-law, and the two went to the side to discuss for a while.
Ji'er walked back and said, "We can't go to your village. ”
"Don't worry." But how can the two women be reassured? Wang Ju can't help it, can he let them go, can he walk back to Yanzhou?
"My lady said that we want to go home."
"Don't you be angry?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"How do you get back?"
"I would like to ask you to escort us back."
"Me?"
"Trouble little brother," said the woman politely.
She was born noble, she doesn't know much about the lives of the people at the bottom, and she doesn't know much about the people in the border areas, but she doesn't understand, she saw the battle yesterday very clearly, so many fierce men, there is only one person in the brain, that is, the young man in front of her.
Wisdom is true power.
"Big lady, no, I still have younger brothers and sisters in the village."
"Please."
"Please, no, yes, I didn't say it." Wang Ju was a little annoyed.
"This is the concubine's reward for you." The young woman plucked the hairpin from her head.
A jasper hairpin, the jade color is very pure, and the workmanship is also very exquisite.
"If you give it to that Zhu steward, he should know the price. If it's not enough, the concubine has a little maid in Yanzhou City, where does she still have some money. ”
Wang Ju stared at the hairpin: "Where is your home?" ”
"Bianliang."
"The capital."
"We can hire a carriage, and then we can reach the capital in less than twenty days."
"You wait," Wang Ju turned around to find Zhu Qing and began to discuss with him. In fact, Zhu Qing's thoughts are confused now, where does he have any opinions?
"Steward Zhu, it should be fine, it is estimated that where is Heiaoling starting to be in a mess now, and the real government does not care about the people's feelings?"
"You tell the villagers in the village that you are not allowed to go out during this time, let alone be a mule."
Wang Ju nodded, but there were countless thoughts in his mind, and his eyes were also staring at the east, where is there the largest city in the world, the name is Tokyo Bianliang......
…………
"Little brother, the lady can't walk." Ji'er said.
"There is a road ahead, depending on the luck, if we can meet a carriage and an ox cart, we must leave here immediately."
"Just rest for a while."
"Not for a while, not only do you have to leave here quickly, but you also have to leave Yanzhou quickly, you are not private businessmen, you are not all the way!"
The two women had no choice but to rush forward desperately.
In a moment, there is a road, a real road! The road from Baoanjuncheng to Yanzhou, before the ban on mutual markets, this road was very lively. Although the market is closed, there are still many pedestrians on the avenue.
When the three of them arrived on the avenue, Wang Ju asked again, "Do you have any money in the city?" ”
"Do you want money?"
"Do you want to pay the fare with a hairpin again?"
"Yes."
Wang Ju immediately began to stop an empty ox cart and promised the driver the usual money for the journey, and the three of them boarded the ox cart. It was a very simple ox cart, not even a roof, but a big cart, with an ox in front and a two-wheeled cart in the back, and the two-wheeled cart had only two wheels, a large cart board with several wooden planks, and then there was nothing. But with it, it's stronger than walking, and it's faster than walking.
The three sat in the car and did not speak.
Soon the coachman said: "The front is Zhao'an Village, it's getting late, do you want to stop and rest?" ”
"Weng Weng, say okay, we're going to go overnight."
"Well," said the coachman, who was silent on the usual pay.
It was getting dusk.
It's a mess here, it's a mess there.
"I didn't see any suspicious smuggling goods coming." A big man said on the side of the road.
"Is there any on the road to the north?" Another big man asked. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a car with three people on board. The battle was too fast, he couldn't remember the appearance of most people, but there were three people who could remember their appearance for the time being, two strange women, a thin and delicate young man, and it was the young man who shot Meng Du's head with an arrow.
