Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Gu Yue was about to be annoyed to death by Qin Juan, who kept yelling "huhuhuhu" all night... like a child who wants to suckle!

Gu Yue couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and sat up, looking at the scene in the room, dazed.

On the long couch, Taohua hugged Xiaoquer, and Xiaoquer hugged Qin Juan's arm.

Seeing the intimacy of these three people left him speechless, Gu Yue was about to stand up and go for a walk, when she just got dressed, Tao Hua woke up.

As soon as Gu Yue walked out of the room, she was stopped by the guards outside the door.

The guards were so strict that they wouldn't even let them go out, but Gu Yue wouldn't make it easier for others, so he raised his hand and said to the guards: "The wound on my hand is bleeding again, go get you guys The witch doctor called over!"

In the middle of the night, the guards didn't want to go, and Gu Yue was not easy to pester, so if he wasn't allowed to go out, he tormented them.

After a stalemate for a while, the guard had no choice but to go to the witch doctor.

Just as the last guard left, Gu Yue said again that he was hungry and wanted to eat.

People go to the kitchen in the middle of the night, and it takes more than half an hour to come and go.

Listening to the commotion outside, Taohua knew that Gu Yue had a stubborn temper and was torturing the guards.

Tao Hua was worried that Gu Yue would get angry and cause trouble, so she got up and put on her clothes.

"My friend is hungry, and he is bothering you adults."

Tao Hua has a nice voice and is kind and gentle. The guards looked much better when they faced him than when they faced Gu Yue.

Gu Yue originally wanted to reply to Taohua, who is your friend, but when he looked up and saw Taohua's smiling face in the firelight, he suddenly fell silent.

There was an illusion in a trance, that he had seen this face before.It should be said that he is familiar with this look.

It's just that he was thinking hard, but he couldn't remember the scene when he first saw Peach Blossom.

Maybe it was in some adult's house, and the banquet that day would invite young masters like Tao Hua to add to the fun.

Or maybe he was doing business to arrest people, went to that building, and saw peach blossoms.

The impression of Peach Blossom seems to have existed from the very beginning, and several colleagues of the same age would occasionally mention Peach Blossom.

"Gu... Since I can't sleep, I'll have a drink with you." Tao Hua smiled and sat down in front of Gu Yue.

Gu Yue frowned, and answered him in a cold voice: "Are you treating me as your benefactor?"

Tao Hua was shocked, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Just at this moment, the witch doctor's disciple came in. Gu Yue looked at the man. The man was stunned for a moment, apparently not knowing why so many people were up in the middle of the night, so he only stopped for a moment and then came over without haste. .

Gu Yue showed the injured wrist to the witch doctor's disciple.

The witch doctor's disciple changed the medicine for him, wrapped it up, got up and left without saying anything.

As soon as the man left, the guard came in with food, followed by another person.

Tao Hua was startled, it was A Nuo who came to guard the tomb.

"Arnold?" Taohua naturally wondered why Arnold came at this time.

When Arnold came in, the guards retreated in peace.

Tao Hua filled the table with the dishes brought by the guards. Thanks to Xiao Qu'er's blessing, although they were imprisoned here, they lived like nobles.

"A team wanted to enter the forest, half of them were killed or injured, and the rest went out." Arnold said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue put down the food in her hand: "Where did it come from?"

Arnold replied: "North."

Isn't the north side coming from Yinshan?Is it from Yin Tianshu?

Tao Hua looked at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue also glanced at Tao Hua: "According to this time, Yin Tianshu might have sent someone to chase us on the day we entered Lvlinkou."

Taohua immediately thought of the Gu on Qin Juan. It seems that Yin Tianshu chased him so anxiously because of Qin Juan.

That's fine, when Yin Tianshu's people go far away, they won't encounter pursuers when they escape from here.

Arnold: "They searched all the way in the woods. They came out of the woods an hour ago. The elder said they were searching for you."

Taohua narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Now do you believe that we were captured by them?"

Arnold: "Sorry, I was so offensive before."

Gu Yue: "I've been offending you all the time, when will you stop imprisoning us?"

Arnold lowered his head and said, "This should be impossible."

Gu Yue wanted to slap this guy to death.

Taohua filled him with wine when he raised his hand.

Gu Yue looked at A Nuo again, and asked casually, "Is your place big?"

Arnold paused for a while before he understood what he was asking: "It's not too big."

Gu Yue: "Don't be so nervous, I'll just ask casually."

Taohua: "Arnuo, would you like some wine?"

A Nuo rubbed his hands, eyes hunger but lowered his head and did not speak.

Taohua had already seen Anuo staring at the wine jar several times, and he brought the wine jar over: "No elders will come over at night."

Arnold didn't think about it for long, took a bowl from the wine jar and started to drink.

He is good at wine, but because of guarding the tomb, he can only drink wine once a year during the cold winter and festivals.

A Nuo soon became a little drunk, and so did Gu Yue.

Among the three, Taohua, the only one who hadn't drunk a drop of wine, began to talk to A Nuo.

First, I asked about Jiao Yu people's customs, festivals, and etiquette.

When it comes to sacrifices, Arnold is very familiar with sacrifices.

He said that the sacrifices are at the Dongyuan altar at the beginning and end of the year.

"After the sacrifice at the Dongyuan altar, the new slave soldiers went out from there to accept the task of inspection..." Arnold didn't say any more, stood up and said, "He has collapsed, and it's no fun to drink any more. I'll go back first."

When Arnold left, he took a jar of wine with him.

Taohua looked at A Nuo's back, and she was quite certain in her heart that if A Nuo was really drunk, she was not pretending.

Then this Dongyuan altar has a way out from here, it should be a hidden and safe way.

The drunk Gu Yue was completely different from usual. After drunk, he even breathed calmly, and his tense face was serene.

The beautiful young man who was once famous in Yinshan has only left people with a sigh after many years.

Later he was cold, violent, and unkind.

But who would have thought that he would look so calm when he was drunk.

It's calm, making people want to take another look.

After Tao Hua covered Gu Yue with the blanket, she lay down next to Xiao Qu'er, extremely sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next day, when Qin Juan woke up, he could no longer feel the pain in his body.

It was as if the Human Sovereign had never entered the body...

So, a few days passed.

One morning, A Nuo, the tomb guard, told them that there would be a happy event in the palace in the near future.

After hearing this, Qin Juan looked at Taohua and Gu Yue, and it was time to leave.

But A Nuo said again: "The clan elders came and asked me to tell Xiao Qu'er that Xiao Qu'er needs to attend the happy event in the palace."

Taohua: "What about us?"

"The clan elders only let Xiao Qu'er go alone."

"What kind of happy event?"

The people of Jiao Yu have been here for a hundred years, the king and the princes died in battle, and their king had only one daughter left, so they regarded the descendants of the lord as the royal family.

The clan elders and elders are in power, and the royal family is only responsible for maintaining the best blood.

When the princes of this generation came of age, they looked for the most virtuous girl in the clan to be his wife.

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow. We will escape when they all go to the palace the day after tomorrow. The food I got in a few days ago is enough for us to last ten days on the road." Gu Yue said.

Tao Hua: "But they want to bring Xiao Qu'er there."

"Xiao Qu'er can escape by himself, we can wait for him here." Gu Yue said.

Qin Juan disagreed: "This is not like Yinshan's celebration banquet. Xiao Qu'er can escape from the celebration banquet, because only Yin Tianshu's people will notice him, and other people will not care about a child, but here is different. , now everyone knows that the clan elder wants to keep Xiao Qu'er, so it is impossible for you to let Xiao Qu'er come out of the palace alone."

"Xiao Qu'er and I will go, you go to Dongyuan Altar and wait for us." Tao Hua said suddenly.

Without waiting for their objection, Taohua continued: "You believe in me, I have a way to get out of here without disturbing them."

"..." Just as Qin Juan was about to speak, Tao Hua held his arm. Qin Juan raised his head to look at him, and silently agreed.

He doesn't know why two or three times, when he saw Taohua for the first time, he couldn't bear to scold Taohua, he didn't want Taohua's life to be in danger, and now he trusts Taohua for no reason...

He just felt that for a moment, when he looked at Peach Blossom, he would think of Zhao Huaizhi.

He thought of Zhao Huaizhi for no reason.

The next day, in the early morning, when the joy came, Qin Juan and Gu Yue were already sitting in the house, wrapping up the prepared things in blankets.

In the early morning, an elder came with someone, Tao Hua and Xiao Qu'er went together, Tao Hua told the elder that he would take care of Xiao Qu'er.

If the person following was Gu Yue or Qin Juan, the elder would definitely not agree. Tao Hua is different, he is not tall, nor is he aggressive. Looking gentle and harmless, it makes people feel easy to control.

After all, he felt that Xiao Qu'er was still a child and needed an acquaintance to take care of him, so the elder let Tao Hua follow him.

Gu Yue asked Qin Juan, "When are you leaving?"

"The time has not yet come. There are fifteen guards at the gate. If the palace over there is the busiest, a few of them should leave."

The few of them behaved so well, the guards at the gate had been relaxed a lot since a few days ago, there must be some happy events in the palace today, there must be a few of them wanting to watch the excitement.

Gu Yue: "Go through the main entrance?"

Qin Juan looked over: "How is that possible."

"The beams?"

Qin Juan: "That's exactly what I mean, but I'm afraid you won't be able to climb up after being abandoned for so long!"

Gu Yue: "Are you kidding, how is it possible!"

"There are a lot of things, can you move your back?"

"Brat, I advise you not to question a man's ability, or else..." Gu Yue raised her fist.

Qin Juan shook his fist while avoiding him: "Don't make trouble!"

The two were talking when they heard the sound of guards walking outside.

Qin Juan immediately ran to the window, looked through the crack, turned to Gu Yue and said, "How many times have you gone?"

"Let's go too." Gu Yue lifted the burden and tied it around her body.

The knives at their waists were taken away by the guards before entering the room.

They didn't even give them a knife to eat meat.

After Qin Juan tied up the bundle, he also brought the stove.

"Why are you carrying this thing?" Gu Yue growled.

"Cook something to eat on the way." He was thinking about the cold weather here at night, and he was afraid that he might not be able to get out of the forest for a while, just to take precautions.

He has even walked through the ice and snow in Uzbekistan, and he has never lacked such awareness.

Gu Yue didn't bother to talk about him, and jumped onto the beam first, because the burden was too heavy, her feet almost slipped...

Qin Juan laughed lowly: "You can't!"
