Chapter 59: Change the route
The matter of changing relatives made Yuzhu unable to calm down for a long time. She walked all the way east. Forget it, let's go see Gucheng and the vast Mihe River. Maybe she would feel better, Yuzhu said.
Zhu comforted himself.
Yuzhu asked passers-by how long it would take before we reach Mihe. The passers-by advised: "It's just over this mountain. There is a war in Gucheng these days. Don't go there unless you have nothing to do."
"Is the fight starting now?" Yuzhu asked.
"Nine times out of ten, there's going to be a fight, and the fight may be very fierce! I heard a rumbling sound last night. You, a little girl, shouldn't go over there and join in the fun. It's very dangerous!" said the woodcutter.
He lifted the firewood that was sliding down the road.
"Okay, thank you, brother!" Yuzhu said.
It seemed that the old man had not guessed correctly. The imperial court had sent troops to fight, and there might have been chaos internally. Yuzhu continued to move forward and did not listen to the advice and turn back.
Yuzhu felt a chill coming over her. It seemed that she was not far from Mihe. She unexpectedly heard loud shouts. She listened carefully to the sound of people singing. It seemed that the battle was won? Which side won?
Woolen cloth?
In order to take a shortcut, Yuzhu went directly into the woods with no obvious road marks. She thought it would be faster to go straight through, eh? What was that ball? When she walked in, she saw that it was a little boy huddled up.
He looked about eleven or twelve years old, his clothes were shabby, his face was dirty, and he was injured and passed out. Yuzhu held the child and patted his cheek gently, "Child, wake up.
!Wake up!”
The little boy frowned and slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up and saw the stranger in front of him, he suddenly got excited and pushed Yuzhu away and said warily: "Who are you?"
Yuzhu looked confused. This little boy was pretty and very alert, "I... a passerby! Where is your home? I'll take you back! I see you're not seriously injured. You were separated from your relatives."
Is it done?"
"Passenger? Are you from Daliang Kingdom?" the little boy asked.
Yuzhu shook his head, and the little boy asked again: "Are you from Chaoshang Kingdom?"
Yuzhu shook his head again, "I am not from any country!" Yuzhu thought to himself, this war has made the children hysterical.
"Then you are one of those small affiliated countries!" the little boy said.
"Don't worry about where I am from. Where are your adults? Have you gotten separated from them?"
The little man thought for a moment and said, "Well, I got separated from my family."
"Is your home in Gucheng? Do you need me to take you back?" Yuzhu asked.
"No, my family is a foreigner doing business in Gucheng. I got separated from my family. My family is far away from here in the south." The child looked aggrieved and was about to cry.
"Don't be too anxious, I'll take you back!"
"But my home is far away from here!" said the little boy.
"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time, I'll take you back!" Yuzhu said.
"good!"
"Do you know who won the battle in Gucheng?" Yuzhu asked.
The little boy's happy face immediately made you uncomfortable, and he said: "Daliang wins!"
"Daliang won?" It seems that what the old man said is still wrong. It seems that the new monarch still has two brushes.
"Sister, why did you come to Gucheng?" the little boy asked. Yuzhu helped the little boy bandage his wounds and replied, "I have some fate with Gucheng, and I wanted to come and have a look!"
"Fate? Is there an old friend here?" the little boy asked.
"It doesn't even count!" Yuzhu said.
"Does that count or not?" the little boy asked again.
Yuzhu knocked the little boy on the head and said, "You kid, you have so many questions. Stop asking about adult matters!"
"I'm not a child anymore. I'm fifteen years old this year. In our hometown, you can marry a wife at the age of sixteen!" the little boy retorted.
Yuzhu couldn't believe it. The little boy stood up even taller than her shoulders. "You mean you can take a wife next year? See for yourself, are you fifteen years old?" Yuzhu gestured to the boy.
Not even as tall as her shoulders.
"I...I just grow up later than others. I'm really fifteen years old!" He said unconvinced.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I believe you! What's your name?"
The little boy thought for a while and hesitated, but he saw that Yuzhu didn't want to be a person who was harmful to him, so he said: "My name is Xiangu, sister, where are you?"
"Yuzhu!"
"Sister, not only are you so good-looking, but you also have such a nice name!" The little boy followed Yuzhu closely.
"You are very sweet at your young age. Are you hungry? I will take you to eat something!" Yuzhu said.
"Okay! Sister, please slow down!" Xanthella followed with small steps, stepped forward and grabbed Yuzhu's sleeve.
Xiangu called her sister one after another, which made Yuzhu feel happy in her heart.
On the way to a steamed bun shop, Yuzhu ordered two drawers of steamed buns, and Xanthium wolfberry ate them voraciously, "Xanthium lucidum, eat slowly, don't choke!"
I’ve never had such delicious buns!” What did this war bring to people? Yuzhu looked at Xanthium with a distressed look on his face.
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Um!"
"It's getting late today, let's find an inn to stay at! We'll continue on our way tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Xanthium said happily.
The moonlit night was covered with a layer of mist, and the rustling dull leaves were clearly visible. A black night cat meowed, and the window was opened slightly. The black cat was frightened and disappeared into the night.
Xanthium secretly glanced at Yuzhu, who was sleeping soundly. She did not wake up when she heard the noise, but turned over and continued to sleep.
Xanthium slowly got up, carefully crossed over the sleeping Polygonatum odorifera, and tiptoed out of the house.
"Greetings, City Lord!" A tall man in black knelt down and bowed to Xanthium.
Xanthium also changed from its previous childish appearance, and instantly became serious, looking more mature than an adult.
"Get up!" Xanthium said.
"yes!"
"After losing the city this time, the people in the Hu Dynasty will be even more hostile to me!" Xanthium said.
"City Lord, it's not your fault, it's just that the Marquis of Guannei is too cunning!" the man in black said unfairly.
"My father's life's glory has been thrown away by me. What a shame! Sooner or later I will take back Gucheng! Now I will make them happy for two days. When I return to Dahujin, I will suffer the humiliation from now on."
I'll pay you back in full!" Xanthium said angrily.
"City Lord, I have joined you now. Let me escort you to Dahu! As for...that woman, let me get rid of her!"
"No! You can't alert the snake yet! Yuan Hu, you go back to Dahu first! Go deal with the disobedient people in the court. I don't know who the woman is yet. Let me find out! If you can't stay, I will take care of it myself.
! Just a woman!"
"This...I still feel something is wrong!" Yuan Hu insisted.
"What's wrong? You mean I can't handle a mere woman? Are you scolding me for not being worthy of being the Lord of this city? If I can't handle her, then I won't be a minister when I return to the Great Hu Dynasty.
It’s even more difficult to cope with it.”
"I don't dare!" Yuan Hu saw that Xanthium was angry and stopped insisting. He knew that it was useless to talk more. His little master had been a genius since he was a child. He could read and digit at the age of three and began to read and write at the age of five.
He practiced martial arts and took over Gucheng at the age of ten. He was able to lay out the city defense map and was able to deal with and resolve Daliang's many attacks one by one. This has been the case for the past five years. Ordinary people cannot deceive him. His only shortcoming is that he is too confident.
