Wu Dayou lowered his head to hide the disdain and ferocity in his eyes

"Of course what the Third Madam said is right, but with just these few people in the escort team, I'm afraid we won't be able to send the Third Madam into the city safely, you see."

Did Wu Dayou confront Jiang Xinyi and leave the choice directly to her? If she still had the brains, she would know how to choose.

Jiang Xinyi wanted to say that it would be fine without the Zheng family, but looking at the corpses on the ground and the surviving people, she couldn't say that.

She knew in her heart that what Wu Dayou said was right, but when there were such serious casualties, someone had to take responsibility. Naturally, this person couldn't be her. Those people from the Zheng family were the best candidates.

Wu Dayou's words made her hesitate. What he said proved that the team really needed Zheng Nian's strength. Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyi forced a smile.

"Wu Weiwei said that I was careless. Remember to tell the Zheng family that Zheng Yu forgot to pay her when she left today.

In this way, these gold hairpins will be regarded as her reward for serving me these days. "

Wu Dayou was a little hesitant and did not take the gold hairpin immediately. First, when Zheng Nian rescued the third lady, the third lady never paid her. I don't know if she forgot or took it for granted.

Wu Dayou was very doubtful whether the Zheng family would accept such a valuable thing as a gold hairpin. Through getting along with these people, he already knew that the Zheng family was definitely not a simple country people.

"Why didn't Guard Wu answer the call?"

"Yes"

Wu Dayou took the gold hairpin and walked towards Chen Yu's family, while Jiang Xinyi looked at Wu Dayou's back and made up her mind to wait until the next town to find an escort.

When Chen Yu wanted to serve the third bowl of snake soup, Zheng Xiang stopped him

"Xiaoyu, your body can't take enough nourishment. Two bowls are already too much for you. You can't eat a third bowl. If you feel hungry, just eat a pancake."

Chen Yu put down his bowl without finishing his thoughts, shook his head and said

"No, I'm full but still a little greedy. It's probably because I haven't eaten meat for too long."

Chen Yu touched his somewhat stretched belly and saw Wu Dayou walking in their direction not far away. He was about to leave, so fast?

"Dad, if the Wu family is about to leave, we must hurry up, otherwise we will not be able to keep up with them."

Chen Yu put down the bowl and started to pack things. Zheng Xiang was not in a hurry at all. Now is the time when the Wu family relies on them, so naturally it depends on their time.

"You take your time and don't panic."

Chen Yu was a little confused after hearing this. Aren't you in a hurry to leave? Still saying that he doesn’t plan to follow the Wu family, the Wu family is quite unlucky.

How could they encounter bandits twice in a row? It should be said that they were unlucky enough. This was the third time they encountered bandits. Chen Yu took a deep breath.

She was a little worried about Niu Dahua and the others. At first, her father said that the people from Niu's Yanzi Village had settled in some jade mountain in Sifang City and had no intention of leaving. An attack by bandits made them realize that there was more to their escape than a lack of water and food.

Since Sifang City is willing to allow them to settle down and has mountainous land for them, the people in Yanzi Village do not plan to flee.

Chen Yu didn't understand at all what the people in Yanzi Village were thinking. There wasn't much rain in this place, and it might dry up soon. Sifang City was so close to the bandit's den, so weren't they afraid of encountering bandits? .

"Brother Nian, thanks to you tonight, otherwise we wouldn't know how many living people there are in our team."

Wu Dayou said this sincerely. He knew that none of the people in his escort could be the opponent of the madman Zheng Nian killed.

Guo Nian waved his hand

"I'm not doing it for you. I'm afraid that the bandits will think you're not enough and take us with them, so I'm going to take action. What's the reason for you coming here? Are you going to set off?"

The first half of Guo Nian's sentence was really hard to answer, so Wu Dayou could only smile and change the subject.

"Yes, the team will set off in a quarter of an hour. Miss Xiaoyu, this golden hairpin was given to you by the third lady as a reward for serving her before."

Chen Yu looked at the gold hairpin and then at Zheng Xiang. She didn't dare to pick it up without seeing him nod. This gold hairpin was expensive just by looking at it. Even if she served the third lady, she would probably need this gold hairpin all her life.

Besides, it wasn't as if it was just a package of rice that was promised at the beginning, so why did she give her a gold hairpin now? Chen Yu shook his head and put his hand behind his back, but she didn't dare to take it.

Who knows if there is any secret here.

Wu Dayou looked at the frightened Chen Yu. This was completely different from what he thought. Most people would not be ecstatic. Why were they so resistant to her, without even a polite push?

"Don't you think Miss Xiaoyu dislikes this golden hairpin?"

"No, it's just that I'm not valuable. This gold hairpin looks expensive at first glance. If I lose it, I'll be heartbroken. If I don't lose it, I dare to wear it on my head.

If I can’t wear it on my head, then why do I need a gold hairpin? Can I exchange it for silver? It's better to give me money directly. "

Chen Yu's resistance was clearly visible to everyone present. Wu Dayou looked at the gold hairpin in his hand and felt confused. When did the gold hairpin become inferior to silver?

Do the girls of the Zheng family know that gold hairpins are more expensive than silver? This and the gold hairpin are worth at least 70 taels of silver.

Zheng Xiang looked at this scene and felt it was funny.

"Just keep it, Xiaoyu. The noble man probably doesn't need this hairpin. It would be good for you to keep it as a dowry in the future."

With Zheng Xiang's words, Chen Yucai took the golden hairpin from Wu Dayou's hand. Under the moonlight, he could see that the skill of this golden hairpin was extraordinary and it was made of hollow craftsmanship.

"Thank you, sir."

Wei Zehan watched Chen Yu look at the gold hairpin as worthless, and pulled her sleeve. After Chen Yu's sleeve was pulled, Chen Yu turned her head and looked at Wei Zehan.

Is something wrong with him?

"Sister, I will also give you a gold hairpin in the future."

Chen Yu didn't believe this at all, mainly because she was only seven or eight years old. She and they would inevitably be separated when they got home, and Wei Zehan could still remember her.

Wei Zehan saw Chen Yu's distrust from the depths of her eyes. He subconsciously touched his body, trying to give Chen Yu something, but he didn't touch anything, which made him lower his head in disappointment.

Now he is not the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but an ordinary refugee. How can he make Chen Yu believe his words.

Chen Yu didn't expect that Wei Zehan would be lost

"I believe you. I'm just afraid that the two of us may not be together at that time, but it's good that you have this heart."

Chen Yu's words did not make Wei Zehan's mood better, but made it worse.

This left Chen Yu confused as to what was wrong with him, so he could only ask Zheng Xiang for help.

Zheng Xiang stood up and said to Wei Zehan and them

"Pack your things and get ready to leave."

Chen Yu peeked at Wei Zehan's expression and found that he no longer looked disappointed. Did this man change his face so quickly?

Wei Zehan was not disappointed. It was Zheng Xiang's look that made him realize what was most important to him now.
