Chai Zhu's eyes suddenly widened, he immediately realized something, rolled over and hurriedly chased after him.
The man made such a big fuss, obviously not for fun.
——He left the door open when he went out.
The moment he went out, Chai Zhu found that he actually had the leisure to pay attention to these details.
Are you sure someone will follow you out?
Before turning the corner following the thin but upright figure of the young man, Chai Zhu looked back and saw that the person inside had indeed moved to the door, but seemed to be frightened by the bloodstains outside the door, and shrank back and dared not come out.
Chai Zhu simply turned around and stopped looking.
Someone has already helped them to get to this point, if they still can't seize the opportunity, then even God can't save them.
…
Chai Zhu caught up with the thin but exceptionally straight figure.
There was a man standing in front of the other party. He had not misjudged him just now. It was indeed the bandit on guard. It was the one who gave him a piece of animal skin on the first day the boy came.
However, the expressions and positions of the two people at this moment are completely different from that day.
The bandit was obviously a head taller than the boy, but at this moment he lowered his head respectfully, even half-bent his waist unconsciously, and said something in the posture of a subordinate reporting.
Sensing someone coming, the guard raised his head suddenly, but when the young man shook his head and signaled him not to care, the man lowered his head again respectfully and continued to explain the situation in the village in the past few days.
The servants in the Chai family had no respect for him.
Chai Zhu stood there frozen with his foot half-raised, not knowing whether to move forward or not.
I always have the illusion that I have witnessed the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes.
At a time like this, should we just kill the person to silence him?
In broad daylight, Chai Zhu's back was covered with white sweat.
Only after the conversation between the two came to an end did Chai Zhu recover a little.
...Is it an illusion?
Chai Zhu comforted himself in this way.
The guard had briefly and quickly described the situation in the village and gave a detailed introduction to the routes down the mountain.
He paused and asked, "Sir, are you ready to go?"
Chai Zhu actually heard some reluctance in his voice.
He couldn't help but secretly criticize this seemingly too smart fool for asking such a stupid question.
Of course I have to leave. If I don't leave, can I still stay here and be their boss?
Wait, wait!
Chai Zhu almost bit his tongue.
Judging from the efficiency of this man in causing the village to fall apart in ten days, if he really stayed, he would really be a boss.
And look! Look now!!
Before this person could do anything, someone else took the initiative to defect.
Chu Lu didn't know about Chai Ru's rich mental activity yet. He nodded to the guard of the mountain bandits, thought for a moment and said, "The court will send someone by the end of this month at the latest. You should make plans early."
The bandit was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed several times.
Finally, he bowed solemnly to the young man and said, "Thank you, sir."
Chai Zhu dared to guarantee that this person must have misunderstood something.
There has never been such a young talent in the court.
In just five years, Enkedu held three games, which shows how much the new emperor was short of people.
It only takes a little thought to know that if the emperor really had such a capable person under his command, he would not be willing to put him in such a dangerous place.
Let it be a misunderstanding, there’s no need for Chai Zhu to say anything unnecessary.
He just took a step forward and asked the bandit where the others were being held, preparing to go find the old servant who was captured with him.
Thanks to Chu Lu, this bandit was able to answer all his questions.
But he didn't have to go out of his way to look for him. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw the old man waiting on the way down the mountain.
Chai Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly went over to him with a smile on his face, "Uncle Zheng."
He wasn't really worried about the other person.
This is an old man who follows my aunt. He has traveled all over the country for half his life and has experienced all kinds of situations. He also has martial arts skills. Although he is indeed a bit old, his body is still strong. Anyway, he can easily beat ten people like Chai Zhu.
To be honest, if he hadn't been the one holding him back that day, the old man would never have fallen into the hands of these bandits.
Chai Zhu had always recognized him clearly, so instead of worrying about him, he should think more about himself. Now looking at the other party's situation, it was obvious that he had taken advantage of the chaos to find a way to escape and was preparing to go up to pick him up.
Although they were in name only, Uncle Zheng was actually considered an elder in Chai Zhu's eyes. He felt that he had performed well this time, and he couldn't help but feel proud of himself, and couldn't help but want to show off his wise actions in the past few days.
But after Chai Zhu said a few words, he noticed that Uncle Zheng was absent-minded. He looked in the direction where Zheng Cai was looking in confusion.
What comes into view is the boy's tall and tough figure like a bamboo.
Chai Zhu only then remembered that although he had escaped, this actually had nothing to do with his "intelligence"...
Someone was stirring up trouble ahead, and he simply followed suit and took advantage of the opportunity.
Chai Zhu felt ashamed for only half a second before he regained his spirits.
Being able to recognize and identify people and know who to follow is also a skill.
All I can say is that he has a unique vision. What is there to be ashamed of? !
Chai Zhu immediately calmed down and turned to introduce Zheng Cai, "This is a new friend I met while I was imprisoned..."
He got stuck at this point and realized that he didn't even know the other person's name.
Obviously, the word "friend" is quite untrue.
While Chai Zhu was speaking, the other party had already walked up to him.
I just listened to his explanation with a smile on my face, without any intention of introducing myself.
Chai Zhu: “…”
He suspected that the man did it on purpose.
The scene was static for a few moments, and Chai Zhu's attitude changed from "doubt" to "certainty".
——He must have done it on purpose!!
He gritted his teeth and nudged Chu Lu from behind with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The other party raised an eyebrow.
Chai Zhu swore that if he pretended not to hear, he would immediately introduce the man as "Wang Goudan".
Fortunately, the other party did not do so.
He bowed to the old man and said, "My last name is Huo, Huo Yan. You can call me Yan."
Not Xiao, Wang, or Xie?
...Huo?
Among the several noble families in the capital, is there such a family?
Chai Zhu blinked quickly, suspecting that the man had given a false name.
He was angry again. After all, they had shared hardships together. Just now when they were walking down the mountain, he even told the other party his real name, and in the end he got this?
Chai Zhu was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave with Uncle Zheng.
...didn't motivate.
Chai Zhu: ???
He walked out several steps and found that he was the only one who left. Uncle Zheng was still standing steadily opposite the guy. It cannot be said to be "steadily". It seemed that the old man hastily avoided the other party's greeting and was greeting Huo Yan in a slightly stiff manner.
cautious?
Chai Zhu thought he had seen it wrong.
But based on Chai Zhu's understanding of Uncle Zheng, the old man was indeed reserved to the point of being tense.
Chai Zhu was puzzled: Who is this "Huo Yan"? Did Uncle Zheng know him before?
Compared to Uncle Zheng who was so tense that he even had to choose his words carefully during greetings, the young man sitting opposite him looked much more relaxed, even though he had a look of respect for his elders.
His smile was gentle and although he was still a teenager, one could already foresee the elegant and graceful figure he would become in the future.
"I am indeed planning to go to the capital, but..." He smiled and declined Zheng Cai's invitation to go with him, "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go with me."
Chai Zhu saw that Uncle Zheng seemed to want to persuade him again, but for some reason he hesitated, so he acquiesced.
Thinking of the meaningful look that Huo Yan had given him when he spoke just now.
——Is it still because of him?
And he's causing trouble for him? Who does this guy think he is?
Chai Zhu's eyebrows were raised high.
He is definitely not the kind of person who would stay content with what is left to him. In fact, the more others forbid him to do something, the more he wants to do it.
"What's the inconvenience?"
Chai Zhu said this and turned back with a step that showed he didn't recognize anyone, as if he was not the one who had just left, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
When they got closer, he put his hand on the other's shoulder without any courtesy and said with a smile, "I am not picky at all. Meeting is fate. Brother Huo has done me such a great favor... Zhu Ke does not have the habit of leaving his 'beneficiary' alone."
He emphasized the importance of "benefactor" and "favor", as if if the other party didn't follow him, it would mean he wouldn't have the chance to repay him.
Uncle Zheng seemed to want to say something, but because of these words, his lips trembled twice and he finally fell silent.
——A favor...
In the end, Chu Lu agreed to go on the journey with them.
However, the other party agreed so easily and acted so quickly that Chai Zhu, who had come to his senses, thought about it carefully and felt that there was a lot of tricks involved.
——He was definitely not jealous because Uncle Zheng was more attentive to that kid than to him.
After all, what kind of person is this person? Why is it worthy of Uncle Zheng to treat him so carefully?
I haven’t heard of any noble family with the surname “Huo”?
But it’s hard to say what the surname is. He thought about the strange reason for his trip to Beijing this time.
It's impossible that this person has lived for more than ten years, and suddenly his father appeared in heaven, and without saying a word, he asked his "son" to go back to "recognize his ancestors"? What did he do for more than ten years?
Even when Chai Zhu thought about the scene a few months ago, he still felt angry. Did his aunt really let him go to Beijing like this? Wasn't she afraid that he would change his surname? Apart from anything else, the heir she had worked so hard to cultivate for more than ten years would be gone.
Chai Zhu didn't know for a moment whether he was angry because of his stepfather's attitude of abandoning his wife and children for more than ten years and then acknowledging his son with a sense of righteousness, or because of his aunt's frivolous attitude.
Anyway, neither of them made him happy. He raised his head angrily and was indeed stunned.
The peach forest is ten miles long, and the pink flowers stretch endlessly. Occasionally, a few plants have grown green leaves, which make the green leaves become embellishments in this sea of flowers. Under such a beautiful scenery, no matter how depressed your mood is, it will be dispelled. At the same time, the young man riding a horse forward in front of you is also included in the painting.
The other person seemed to notice his gaze and tilted his head to look at him in confusion.
Although he is still a teenager, the freehand elegance of riding a horse in the countryside and being a graceful gentleman seems to have seeped into his bones.
If the person he was eyeing was a girl, she would probably fall in love with her immediately and would marry no one else.
...It’s a pity that Chai Zhu is a man.
After being stunned for a few moments, he turned his head with a pale face and refused to look at this person again.
Fuck, lost.
He was the young master of the Chai family, the dream lover of many Jiangnan girls, the little white dragon with a jade face from Yangzhou who would be stuffed with handkerchiefs and sachets by girls whenever he walked on the street...
...I actually lost!
