Walking at night,
I met a woman hanging on a tree calling for help;
Uncle Zheng has seen this kind of opening many times. If all the devils are around, Uncle Zheng I don't mind going to the rescue, just to have some fun when I have nothing to do;
But now, he is too lazy to care.
Also too lazy to pay attention, there is the princess.
Uncle Zheng didn’t believe that the princess’s crossbow arrow missed the target, but he really felt that his act of shooting the princess to death without saying a word was truly beautiful.
Since everyone in your family has been killed by the bandits, and you yourself have been insulted by the bandits,
You are no longer worthy of this world, and you will probably continue to endure endless suffering if you survive. Pain and nightmare,
Then we will send you down to reunite with your family.
Amitabha.
However, the development of things always seems to force you into it. You have a premonition that it is a pit, and you plan to go around it. Halfway around, you realize that the pit is bigger than you imagined. .
The woman gave people the impression of a fierce ghost at this time.
There are "spirits" in this world, not counting imported products like magic pills. Not long ago, Uncle Zheng also saw the regent introduce "spirits" into his body, and more recently Earlier, Uncle Zheng also received a Jade Order.
If we look into it more closely, Shatuo Queshi turns into a zombie after death, which is also a concrete manifestation of this phenomenon.
But the others, no matter what, are very rare, but the one Uncle Zheng encountered now seems a bit cheap.
Uncle Zheng has determined one thing a long time ago, that is, he is not the Chosen One. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain which Chosen Son would encounter hidden arrows and accidents every time he rushes into battle;
p>
So, Uncle Zheng didn’t think that he could get a jackpot and bump into some big treasure just by walking through the night carrying a princess on his back.
When the princess saw the female ghost rushing toward her, she instinctively grabbed Uncle Zheng's shoulders.
At this time, the princess naturally felt that Uncle Zheng was the person she could rely on most.
When the princess grabbed his shoulders, Uncle Zheng instinctively shouted:
"Smash!"
In this At that time, Uncle Zheng naturally felt that his son was the person he could rely on most.
"Bang!"
The magic pill sped out from the princess's sleeves and hit the female ghost directly.
The female ghost fell to the ground like a kite with its string broken.
But after landing, it suddenly turned into a green mist and dispersed.
The magic pill was suspended in the air,
the figure began to appear,
it was the image of a baby.
"Spirit?" the princess exclaimed.
She knew that her royal brother had a spirit around her, but she didn’t expect that her husband also had one.
How many secrets are hidden in him?
However,
What did he shout just now?
The green mist began to spread, seeming to blend into the surrounding environment.
Mowan was a little confused, his eyes wandering around, not like he was searching for the female ghost, but like he was looking for something else.
"Buzz!"
At this moment,
the sound of an arrow piercing the air came.
"Chirp!!!!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a high-frequency scream, not a human cry, but like some kind of animal.
Suddenly,
Uncle Zheng felt his vision blurred for a while, but it soon returned to normal.
The magic pill flew back directly.
In Uncle Zheng's field of vision, there is a tree in front of him, and there is a rope on the tree, but what is tied to the rope is not a woman, but a weasel, also known as Huangpizi.
Under the tree, there was a circle made of bricks, but the fire inside had long been extinguished, and it seemed that it had been extinguished for a long time.
There was a hole in the yellow skin, and there was a crossbow arrow stuck in the tree, which was obviously the one shot by the princess earlier.
So, it was not a female ghost at all before, but an illusion created by this yellow man.
No wonder Magic Pill hesitated and searched there as soon as he came out. Obviously, Magic Pill found something was wrong.
But it seemed that before Magic Pill could make the next move, someone nearby fired an arrow to help break the situation.
Uncle Zheng knew that Huang Pizi seemed to be able to interfere with and influence people's minds by releasing some kind of hallucinogenic gas, and the ability of the magic pill was, firstly, to fight against the soul body, and secondly, It lies in entering Zheng Fan's body to provide a blessing to Zheng Fan's strength.
And this kind of hallucinogenic gas, theoretically speaking, still belongs to the category of "physical reality".
After all, you can’t just let the magic pill come out and start to develop some antidote like Xue San to help detoxify. This is not his expertise.
"Are we being possessed?" the princess said to herself.
There are many demons in the Chu land. Of course, demons are extremely rare compared to the number of people, but things like this kind of wild and charming mountain spirits tease and even kill people. Children are not uncommon.
"Are you okay?"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the front. The man had half-white hair and held a bow in his hand. He looked like he should be almost fifty. .
"Thank you brave man for saving me." Uncle Zheng thanked him.
Although with the ability of the magic pill, it will only take a little more time to find the target and resolve the situation in front of you, but they have helped you after all.
The man stopped in front with some vigilance and asked:
"Who are you?"
The princess said: "We are runaways. , my father did not allow me to marry a Dalit, so I asked him to take me out of the house. ”
This fits the image of the two of them, and is the most appropriate lie.
The man squinted his eyes, and after scanning Zheng Fan and the princess, he said: "My name is Jiang Hu, a hunter in the mountains. You were possessed by a yellow dog before, but It's a pity that although my arrow hit the yellow dog earlier, it failed to hit the vital point and let him escape."
Said,
Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan,
said:
"A pariah marries a noble girl, haha, you are brave and courageous. Are you running away? Why don't you go to my place to rest?" One night?"
"That's it, Brother Hu," the princess agreed.
In this way, Jiang Hu led the way, and Zheng Fan followed behind, carrying the princess on his back.
Actually, Zheng Fan has always wanted to ask why the green python named "Xiao Qing" didn't give any warning in advance?
The magic pill belongs to the soul body and is relatively sensitive to the soul, but the green python is considered a monster. Regardless of whether the weasel is called Huangpizi or Huanggouzi, since it can confuse people's hearts, it has obviously become a spirit. of a category.
It stands to reason that the green python should be able to provide early warning.
But in the end, not only was there no warning, even when the Orion appeared here, the green python did not respond.
This is very unusual.
However, this is not the time to talk. Generally speaking, Orion's ears are very easy to use.
Jiang Hu brought Zheng Fan and Zheng Fan to a wooden house. When he opened the door of the wooden house, a woman's voice came from inside.
“But I’m back.”
“The yellow dog is making trouble.”
“Yes, the mountains have not been peaceful in the past two years. Hey, I also brought You're back?"
"He's a runaway. I'll take him back to rest for the night."
"Okay, I'll prepare something to eat."
Zheng Fan and the princess entered the house and saw a woman busy adding firewood to the stove in the center of the wooden house. She also set up a pot and began to add water to it.
"This is a bitch." Jiang Hu introduced.
Zheng Fan saluted and said: "I have met my sister-in-law."
The princess also saluted and said: "I have met my sister-in-law of the Jiang family."
"Ouch, what are you doing? It’s embarrassing to be polite with so many things. You sit down first and I’ll cook some soup for you.”
Jiang Hu motioned to Zheng Fan and the princess to sit down around the stove. Warm yourself by the fire, and then asked:
"Where are you going to escape?"
Before Uncle Zheng could speak, the princess said directly: "I don't know yet, I was thinking Let’s go to the mountains first to escape. Now that I think about it, I might have to go over the mountains to Jin.”
“Go to Jin?” Orion said with some surprise, “There is a war there.”
The princess nodded and said a little aggrievedly: "But Chu Land, there is no place for the two of us anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Hu clicked his tongue and said: "It seems, Haha, it seems that brotherMy sister's background is not simple. ”
Being able to say something that Chu Land cannot tolerate proves that the woman’s family background is really high. Ordinary Chu Land nobles really cannot achieve this kind of influence.
"Come on, let me go. ”
The woman came over, first put some sliced bacon into the pot, then put in the wide vermicelli, and finally covered the pot.
"Thank you, Madam Sister-in-law. "Zheng Fan said with a smile.
"We are destined to meet each other. We live in the mountains, and it is rare for more than one person to sit here to eat together, and there are no guests. "
Jiang Hu smiled and nodded, and then he said again: "To enter Jin from here, we have to walk a long way. The mountain road is not easy to walk, not to mention that we have to cross some dense currents. ”
Of course the best way to go is Zhennanguan, but there are many Chu troops and scouts at Zhennanguan, so it is impossible for Uncle Zheng to go from there.
However, Zheng Fan did not answer, but waited for the princess to speak, because from the beginning when the princess introduced herself, Uncle Zheng felt that something was wrong.
In fact, the turmoil about Qu's wedding was. It had already been publicized in Chudi, because there were too many nobles present and the impact of the matter was too great, so it was impossible to cover it up even if he wanted to.
In fact, Uncle Zheng was doing it all the way. When escorting grain and grass to Zhennanguan, the surrounding grain merchants who were on the road talked about this topic the most every day.
Some people beat their chests and felt that Da Chu had lost face this time;
Some people gloated about the misfortune and it was interesting to see Qu's misfortune;
Some people lamented that if the Pingye Bo of the Yan people had not left him in Chu this time, if he had allowed him to take the princess back safely, It would be unimaginable to add up to this reputation.
Uncle Zheng would always squat beside them and listen to their conversation. They talked very enthusiastically, and Uncle Zheng listened very enthusiastically.
Perhaps, it is only spreading in the Chu area now. In ten days and a half, this matter should spread to the Yanqian area. This is destined to be the biggest event in the beginning of this year that "the common people like to hear about"
So, although Jiang Hu is a hunter and always lives in the mountains, who can guarantee that he has not gone down the mountain and heard about this?
If so? He had heard about this, and it was obvious based on the princess' self-introduction.
However, Uncle Zheng didn't think that the princess was unaware of this. She was not stupid, she was sweet. Naturally, she has her own reasons for speaking like this.
Furthermore, Uncle Zheng is not worried that the princess will betray him. If she wanted to rebel against him, she could have done so as early as the royal family's retreat. There is no need to cheat. The Qu family and the royal family were embarrassed before they turned back.
"Yes, so I want to ask Brother Hu to be our guide. "
Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect that the girl would make such a request.
Zheng Fan noticed the hairpin on the woman's bun;
Although no matter in his previous life or in this life, Uncle Zheng is very fond of these precious jewelry, gold, silver and jade.I have no interest or concept, but I can't help but that my living conditions have improved after I became rich, so that some expensive jewelry and accessories have become very common items in the home.
It feels like Puyi went to an antique shop: I haven’t studied them systematically, but these are very common in my home.
This hairpin is not cheap, and the material is not ordinary gold or silver.
In addition to the "arrogance" when putting down the vermicelli, there were two vermicelli pieces left at Uncle Zheng's feet, and the woman did not pick them up and throw them in again.
Jiang Hu shook his head and said, "Sorry."
This was a direct rejection.
Uncle Zheng silently picked up the bowl of water in front of him and took a sip of water. He didn’t say anything stupid about me paying money. It was obvious that this family was not short of money, or in other words, not Care about money very much.
The princess pursed her lips and said, "Is General Gongsun okay?"
Jiang Hu's eyes immediately froze, and the woman was so frightened that she couldn't help but retreat, and bumped into on the table.
Uncle Zheng continued to drink water with a calm expression, as if everything was under control. In fact, he didn't even know who General Gongsun was.
Jiang Hu licked his lips and asked: "Girl, who are you?"
The princess was not in a hurry to reveal her identity, but smiled and said: "I think back then. Although the Gongsun family is not a famous family with a big business and cannot be compared with the Qu family, they have held the position of beast master for several generations relying on their ability to tame beasts. Being polite to him can be called noble.
I didn’t expect that it would be like this. It’s really embarrassing.”
Jiang Hu didn’t touch his knife. He Bow and Arrow just clapped his hands and said: "It's interesting. I didn't expect that I could be found by people from Fengchao even if I was hiding here."
"You are worrying too much, I am not from Fengchao. , my men are not, we are just running away.”
“Do you think I will believe it?”
The princess silently untied her clothes and removed her left breast. The arm was exposed, and there was still solidified wax on the left arm, but the fire phoenix mark inside could be seen through the wax.
The woman exclaimed directly:
"Royal family!"
Jiang Hu looked at his wife hesitantly.
The woman nodded affirmatively at Jiang Hu and said, "It's the fire phoenix mark."
Jiang Hu's eyes showed a look of thinking, and then he suddenly reached out and pulled out the fire phoenix mark. His hunting knife was not pointed at the princess, but at Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng is still sitting there, looking as usual.
Taishan collapses in front of you without changing color. This is something that has been professionally practiced.
However, the woman seemed to be more knowledgeable than the man.
"When I went down the mountain the day before yesterday, I heard that a big event had just happened in my Da Chu Gang a few days ago. It was said that an uncle from the Yan State was in front of Qu and the princess on their wedding day. In front of everyone, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess was kidnapped.
I never expected that,
I live deep in the mountains and could actually meet Uncle Ping Ye from Dayan. "
Uncle Zheng put down the bowl, opened the lid of the pot, looked at it, and said:
"I don't know if the vermicelli is ready. ”
He is not going to interrupt, just let the princess speak.
Uncle Zheng is also a professional on how to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Princess...Your Highness. "
The woman first knelt down in front of the princess.
When Jiang Hu saw this, he hesitated in his eyes.
The princess also ignored Jiang Hu and turned around , took the initiative to reach out his hand to help the woman up, and said: "May I ask Mrs. Sister-in-law what her surname is? "
"The sinful woman's surname is Gongsun and her given name is Ling. ”
“It turns out that Madam-in-law was born in the Gongsun family. "
"Yes, my husband, a sinful wife, was once my father's personal guard. On the night of the Yingdu Incident, my husband protected me from the capital and hid in the deep mountains. ”
“Thank you for your hard work, Madam. ”
The Gongsun clan was the hereditary leader of the Beast Control Supervisor, but it suddenly died nearly a year ago.
The reason for its demise was that the Gongsun clan followed the eldest prince. After the death of the late emperor, the eldest prince took the lead in revolting and wanted to take control of the government in the capital, Yingdu.
The Gongsun family even mobilized the clan's own soldiers and brought many imperial beasts in prison. The demon beasts joined in, but the fourth prince had already obtained the allegiance of the royal imperial army. Several royal imperial army marched straight into Yingdu, and the witches and magistrates also stood behind the fourth prince. The rebellion of the eldest prince in Yingdu was ruthlessly suppressed. It was extinguished.
The eldest prince was deliberately released from Yingdu in the hope that he would continue to attract people to gather around him, and the Gongsun clan was exterminated that night.
The woman's name was Gongsun Ling. , whose father should be the head of the Gongsun family, which means that the princess’s biological brother is the enemy of the woman in front of him.
Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan, slowly put down the knife, and sat down again.
Zheng Fan picked up the spoon and saw that the women had no time, so he started stirring the pot to prevent the vermicelli from sinking.
Although the woman was from the Gongsun clan, The one who is really capable is Jiang Hu.
This can also explain why the green python took the initiative to avoid him, because after the princess used her fire phoenix essence and blood to attract the green python, she followed the rules. According to the tradition of the royal family, the green python will be handed over to the beast master for taming.
The green python must have sensed Jiang Hu's aura, so he took the initiative to avoid it.
So, beast. After all, it is a beast and cannot be trusted at critical moments.
Uncle Zheng feels that after returning, the green python must be tamed by the demon kings and instilled with a sense of "loyalty".
< p>Then,Now that I think about it,
That yellow dog was probably Jiang Hu’s own arrangement. It was equivalent to placing a checkpoint at that location in the canyon. When he heard the movement It's easy to adapt.
It's a talent.
Jiang Hu said.Said: "A Ling, she is your enemy. If you say a word, I will kill her and avenge your family."
Uncle Zheng shook his head and sighed:
Lick a dog.
But this licking dog should have succeeded in licking her, because the woman’s family has been ruined, and she cannot survive without being with the licking dog.
Obviously he was also a sinner in Da Chu and had to hide here and there. After seeing Uncle Hirano of Da Yan, he actually said that he wanted to help his wife take revenge.
This man should have no ambition.
An ambitious man will not care what the woman thinks at this time. He wants to find a way out for himself.
As for what this woman would think,
Uncle Zheng has guessed it.
Uncle Zheng believes that the princess should also have guessed it.
Living in hiding in the mountains, I still don’t forget to wear jewelry, and I don’t pay attention to the details of frugal living when cooking. I don’t know how much risk my man takes when he goes down the mountain to do shopping;
To put it bluntly, Miss Gongsun is not someone who lives a hard life in a down-to-earth manner.
"No, no more revenge, no more revenge." The woman hurriedly waved her hands, "Let it be over, let it be over."
She did not want to pursue the revenge of her family's destruction. .
The princess said: "That is what my royal brother did, what does it have to do with me? Besides, at that time, everyone was his own master, and the winner was the king or the loser.
What’s more, I have regretted my marriage now, and I have already broken up with my royal brother. No matter how I calculate the debt, it is not my fault.”
“Yes, it is. , Don’t blame the princess, don’t blame the princess,” the woman said quickly.
Jiang Hu sighed and said, "Princess, do you want Ping Yebo to go to Jin?"
Zheng Fan continued to stir the bottom of the pot and said with a smile, "Otherwise What?"
"I can pretend I haven't seen you, because I have a grudge against the regent; but I won't send you into the mountains, because I am a Chu man."
"We are actually all from Xia, and we were all one family eight hundred years ago."
"Ha."
Jiang Hu was very disdainful.
Uncle Zheng began to fish for vermicelli.
The princess held Gongsun Ling's hand and said to Zheng Fan: "My lord, don't just eat and talk."
Jiang Hu said:
"It's useless to say anything."
Uncle Zheng, while sucking the vermicelli, echoed in his heart: Yes, it's useless to tell you, anyway, you are not the one who makes the decision in your family.
Uncle Zheng ate half a bowl of vermicelli and two pieces of marinated meat, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said:
"One, follow me and others to Yan Afterwards, although my life cannot be compared with when Gongsun was in Yingdu, I can guarantee that I will have good clothes and good food, twenty maids, and twenty servants, not counting the cook. "
This. Hodgepodge, really not tasty.
"Second, I can do anything to the sky.I swear to protect your safety. People in my Yan Kingdom and Fengchao cannot be arrogant. "
The first two are about life.
The third one,
is the highlight.
"Three, I His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan will build a new beast-control prison for the Gongsun family and set up the position of chief. Brother Jiang Hu will be the first chief, and the second chief will be your children. This position is hereditary and important. Now the glory of Gongsun family. "
Jiang Hu stared angrily and scolded: "Don't even think about it! "
Gongsun Ling, who was beside the princess, shouted directly to her husband:
"Okay, I agree! "
"..." Jiang Hu.
Uncle Zheng continued to fish for the second bowl of vermicelli. It didn't taste good, but he was really hungry.
Jiang Hu looked at his wife and persuaded: "A Ling, we are Chu people, how can we take refuge in Yangou, we..."
"If you don't agree, I will do it now I'll die for you! "
"Gongsun is a noble of Chu, how could he do this..."
"Are you going to force me to die now! "
"Private hatred is private hatred, national hatred is national hatred, the Yan people massacred in Yupan City..."
Gongsun Ling took off the hairpin from her bun, < /p>
Putting it against his neck,
Looking at Jiang Hu;
The previously calm and virtuous woman disappeared, replaced by a woman with a passion for a better life. A woman with infinite admiration.
At this time, the princess added: "Even this palace is going to join Yan, so why not Gongsun?" "
"Yes, the princess is right, the princess is right. "Gongsun Ling seemed to be encouraged. The hairpin pierced her neck. Blood beads were already flowing out, and she roared: "Jiang Hu, do you agree or not? ”
Jiang Hu gritted his teeth,
Uncle Zheng lowered his head and continued to eat vermicelli,
Jiang Hu stood up,
He took two steps back,
turned his hands to Zheng Fan and said:
"See Uncle Hirano! ”
