When facing the first downside

——Changhuai Official Road Station——

"Dian——Young Master," Du Wei scratched his head and said fiercely: "The horses are all fed, and the subordinates have almost rested. You can go on the road as soon as you say it."

The young master is half lying on the branch of a tree with crooked neck, as if he hates the sun's glare, his eyes are covered with a veil, the veil is clean and white, and an orchid flower is embroidered on the corner alone, with indigo thread and tight stitches , it can be seen that it was carefully embroidered with thought.

Du Wei couldn't help but see that always restrained and gentle face.

"What are you looking at?" The young master frowned slightly with a handkerchief in his hand.

Du Wei woke up with a start, and said honestly, "This subordinate is looking at this veil."

Other guards: "..."

Can you be more tactful, who doesn't know that this handkerchief was embroidered to the young master by the eldest lady of the Jiang family.

The young master raised his eyebrows, "Like it?"

"I like it." Du Wei nodded honestly.

The young master was not surprised, smiled, jumped down from the tree, and threw it to him casually, "Give it to you."

Du Weile showed a mouthful of white teeth, and took it happily, "Thank you, Young Master."

Others hold their foreheads, Du Wei, you can have some snacks, is this a handkerchief? It's a disaster, the eldest lady of the Jiang family knew that she had to peel your skin.

Patting the ashes off his body, the young master walked towards the carriage, and said in a good mood: "Let's go, I'm afraid my blue-faced red-haired lady will swallow me alive if it's too late."

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, but I didn't see any fear in you.

The young master paused when he got into the carriage, everyone was vigilant and exchanged glances, thinking that the young master had heard it.

The young master pointed at the front with a folding fan and said, "I looked at the map when I came here. It is too slow to avoid Changhuai Mountain and take the official road. Let's take the trail on the mountain."

"But son, if you don't follow the official path, you can't meet Eunuch Xi. Don't ask Eunuch Xi in advance if Miss Lu is..." Du Wei reminded.

Everyone: Du Wei, is this something you and I should worry about?

The young master interrupted: "What is it? It's just a bear, and Gu can't afford it?"

After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling to leave quickly.

As if they had received an amnesty, everyone hurriedly covered Du Wei's mouth, which was still about to speak, and drove forward.

This trip is the current crown prince Gu Cenyuan and the welcoming team.

The country name of this dynasty is Hui, and there are currently two sons, the crown prince Gu Cenyuan, and the second highness Gu Yunqi.

By the way, the crown prince Gu Cenyuan is also a strange person. On the one hand, he looks for flowers and asks willows, shouts and drinks chickens, and mingles with dudes all day long. On the other hand, he has learned from ancient and modern times. .

Every time he is mentioned, all the bosses in the cabinet always raise their beards with anger. They hate him for being talented but not on the right path. Going one step further, lamenting the injustice of the heavens, the poor Second Highness is keen on learning and determined, but has a dilapidated body.

His Highness the Second Highness was congenitally deficient and had a disease in his womb. If he didn't pay attention, he would suffer from constant pain, but he still insisted on going to school every day. It was a far cry from that person who wobbled into the school every day.

The two princes have very different personalities, and a lot of gossip has been aroused outside. Some say that the second prince is in poor health because the prince pushed her when the queen was pregnant. The fake one is to prevent the second prince from thinking wildly and complaining about himself.

Rumors are flying like catkins, and there are all kinds of rumors. The "Prince's Party" and the "Second Prince's Party" gathered in the market are in dire straits. Never had.

After Eunuch Xi went to Wangjiang City to proclaim the decree, the capital also began to warm up. The days were warm and the nights were cool, and the second prince fell ill again.

Everyone is used to the illness that comes twice a year, and His Majesty just asked the imperial physician to take care of his head and heal it properly.

But this time the second prince's illness didn't get better, and he vomited blood. When everyone arrived, they saw the second prince staring at the blood on the handkerchief and smiled.

The smiling majesty's heart tugged, the laughing queen shed tears, the laughing doctor Wang's neck hurt, and the prince's playful smile was also lost.

No one knew what happened in Jingyang Palace that day, but an order was issued the next day to let the prince quickly go to Wangjiang City to marry the princess.

Prince Gu received the decree and went into battle lightly. On the same day, he brought a group of guards and left the city. The dowry team packed up and followed behind.

The ordinary people in the market are living their own small days, too lazy to figure out why this sudden decree is made, they only know that the crown prince will be pardoned for labor on his wedding, and they are also bustling with excitement.

The ministers who understood all sighed, the second prince may not have much time left, if Miss Lu's family dies before entering the capital, the prince's marriage may be delayed until the Year of the Monkey.

Gu Cenyuan is already twenty-one. Although his conduct is bad, there are quite a few women from aristocratic families in Beijing who want to marry. Hold the baby.

Gu Cenyuan, a widow from a lonely family, lifted the curtain of the car to see the sky was getting dark, and said to Du Wei who was driving: "The parking is on fire, the weather is getting warmer, snakes and insects are alive in the mountains, sprinkle some realgar around."

"Yes." Du Wei told the others to stop, lit a fire aside, and asked the two to see if they could hunt some wild game.

The flames gradually became brighter, and Gu Cenyuan's face was mottled and unidentifiable. Du Wei took the hot cloud cake and handed it to him: "Young master, eat something to pad your stomach first."

Gu Cenyuan took it and took a bite: "How long have they been gone?"

"Half an hour."

Gu Cenyuan felt that the pastry was too dry, so he frowned and took two bites, swallowed one whole, and handed the rest to Du Wei, "Take two people to the front after eating, and come back immediately if there is anything wrong."

Du Wei said seriously: "Yes."

After swallowing two pastries, Du Wei took a torch and ordered two guards to check on the situation.

After a stick of incense, Gu Cenyuan sipped water, looked at the fire, and said with indistinct emotion: "In the capital, I heard from Li Shangshu's boy that there are bandits in Changhuai Mountain, do you know?"

The guards stared wide-eyed. None of them dared to talk to Du Wei without Du Wei. They froze for a while, and finally one of the guards stepped forward and said bravely: "When I was leaving the post station, my subordinates asked about it. The post guard said that Changhuaishan An is uninhabited, only some tombs, which were left by unknown people in ancient times."

"I don't believe it either, that's why I thought about taking the Changhuaishan path. Looking at it now," Gu Cenyuan sneered, "The collusion between officials and bandits is not only found in dramas."

The guards didn't dare to vent their anger, and the leader was sweating coldly. They only thought that welcoming the relatives was an easy job, and they didn't want to get mixed up with the above-mentioned fairy fights.

"Okay," Gu Cenyuan stood up, before the guards could catch their breath, "Go and see which bandit is the one that has eaten the heart of a bear, even Miss Jiang's Du Xiaogan."

Everyone: "..." Miss Jiang's love is not human.

Gu Cenyuan took half of the guards and walked in the direction Du Wei went just now, and left half to watch the luggage carts and horses. Weeds and shrubs grew wildly on the mountain, and two groups of people walked back and forth, clearing a lot of weeds and branches, and they still went from time to time. Swept by a tree.

After a cup of tea, the front suddenly widened, and a clearing appeared. Du Wei and the other four people were gagged, tied tightly, and hung upside down on a locust tree in the middle of the clearing. The wind swayed gently.

Everyone was shocked and hurried forward to untie the rope.

Du Wei hung up for a while, his head was congested badly, and his vision was a bit blurred. He opened his eyes when he heard the movement, and vaguely recognized Gu Cenyuan by his figure. What.

At this time, there was a short whistle in the distance, and the surrounding bushes rustled, as if something was inside.

Gu Cenyuan immediately reacted, and said, "Hurry up, something happened to the guard."

The five people had been untied and released, and everyone rushed back to the original road immediately upon hearing this.

When they rushed back, the people who stayed behind were hanging upside down in the same posture on the big tree that Gu Cenyuan was leaning on to eat cloud cakes.

The surrounding area was empty, the carriages, horses and luggage were all gone, leaving only a fire that could not be extinguished.

Gu Cenyuan looked at the fire with a blank expression on his face, and the person who was put down stood behind him with his head bowed, silent like a cicada.

Gu Cenyuan added a piece of dead wood to the fire, and asked, "Can you see the front face?"

"Master Hui, I didn't see it." Du Wei lowered his head, feeling ashamed. "The bandit acted very methodically. He knocked down with a sap very directly, and all the valuables on his subordinates were also taken away. The clear purpose is to rob money."

Du Wei said so vividly that even those who had eaten Sap couldn't help touching the back of their heads.

"Rest first, and go to the mountain tomorrow morning."

"But son, it will be too late, what should Miss Lu do if she is too anxious to eat you?" Du Wei worried.

"Du Wei, look at the faces of the people around you before you speak next time, and then decide whether you should speak." Gu Cenyuan didn't want to talk to him, jumped up the tree, leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Du Wei was stunned, scratching his head and looking at the disheveled people around him.

Everyone beckoned him to come over, and the guard at the head whispered: "Guard Xiao Du, if you don't go up the mountain, you don't have a horse, and you have to spend time with the hired convoy when you get to Wangjiang City, and it will be even later."

Du Wei suddenly realized, and thanked him for his advice.

On the other hand, after "Miss Lu who can eat people" came out of Wangjiang City, she hurriedly bought a set of standard equipment for walking in the rivers and lakes-a sword, a handsome horse, and a white outfit. Dian Dian on the road.

According to incomplete statistics during the period, Lu Shaoxia encountered injustice five times, the hero saved the beauty three times, and gave beggars nine times.

In Wangjiang City, Lu Zhuangshi sits in the formation, and the Jianghu spirit is heavy, but the scum of the martial arts who sneaked around is almost eliminated, so Lu Shi felt that everything was dull after a few days of wandering in the Jianghu.

It was night, looking at the moon with a big face in the sky, Lu Shi missed Mrs. Lu Zhuangshi Lu a little.

Father is always like this, he knows that he loves mother, he clearly knows that he wants to be a righteous martial arts knight, and still tells him such a lie, it's ridiculous that he still believes firmly.

His face was filled with anger, which turned into sadness in the next second. Alas, I don't know if my mother will get sick again if she finds out that she ran away from home.

Lu Shi was full of longing, anger and worry in his heart. His thoughts were filled with sorrow, and he chanted to the moon: "There are many times in the world that hurt the past, but now I know what it means to be sad, and I want to say nothing!"

A roar came from downstairs: "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night, and you're so sour? Let people sleep?!"

Lu Shaoxia has lived for 19 years, and just this time when Shi Xing became so popular, he was still disgusted by others, and suddenly became angry, and shouted back: "Do you know who I am?! I am the son of the owner of Xiaozhai in Changhuai Mountain Xiao Xian! Say one more thing, believe it or not, I will send someone to rob your entire family?!"

There is Changhuai Mountain between Wangjiang and Lanzhou. There is a bandit village on the mountain. It is said that it is a bandit, but it only robs riches, and only money.

This is not unusual, but what is outrageous is that the people who suppressed the bandits went wave after wave, and they all said that they could only see a few lonely tombs standing there on the top of the mountain.

However, there are also rumors that Zhaizhu Xiao and Lu Mengzhu of Changhuai Mountain are old acquaintances, and Lu Mengzhu is responsible for it, so the suppression of bandits has always failed.

It was immediately quiet downstairs.

Lu Shi smiled in satisfaction, closed the window and went to sleep, and planned to go to Xiao Xian tomorrow to talk about his recent sorrows based on the inspiration he just had.
