Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Let's go to Shuoyang City, the capital of Liangzhou."

There was nothing to hide, Cheng Wan answered very honestly and simply.

Gu Yan's eyes flickered, "We are also going to Shuoyang City. I don't know the rest of the journey. Can Miss Cheng bring us three 'burdens'? Miss Cheng's family's great kindness will never be forgotten by Gu. Come here We will repay you one day!"

Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yan with a calm face and narrowed his eyes.

"You have to tell me why those people are chasing you, so that I can consider whether to take you with me."

Cheng Wan had chosen to take these three people with him temporarily because this was a wilderness, and the other refugees were behind him. Except for them, no one else was nearby.

Therefore, Cheng Wan doesn't have to worry about anyone recognizing these three people for the time being, which will bring greater trouble and danger to their profession.

As for the horses that might be recognized, Cheng Daniu and the others had skillfully performed "plastic surgery" to ensure that even if they encountered the pursuers, the pursuers would not be able to recognize any of the horses.

But it would be different if we took these three people with us all the way to Shuoyang City.

It takes five days to walk from Qinghua County to Shuoyang City, passing through many cities.

There are so many people with so many eyes, and if someone pays attention to these three people and thinks that they are in the same group, things will get serious.

It was hard for Cheng Wan to imagine that his family would often be hunted down in the future.

Cheng Wan admitted that she quite liked Gu Yu. She liked the little boy's appearance and his preference for being alone with her.

But this little liking was not enough for Cheng Wan to drag a large family and three other families into the water with the three of them.

Cheng Wan originally planned to leave these three people behind early tomorrow morning and continue moving forward after tonight.

Gu Yan felt the seriousness in Cheng Wan's tone.

It was very painful and painful to tear open the scar in his heart, but now he had to choose to tear it open.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him, Shaoqing and their nephew to reach Shuoyang smoothly.

What's more, in good conscience, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Cheng Wan's request was not excessive.

This is just an instinctive choice to protect yourself and your family.

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he raised his head, not knowing whether he was looking at Gu Yu or something, and a calm and hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"My grandfather was the previous minister, and he worked hard for the people all his life. My father was the Marquis of Dingyuan. He never did evil things even though he had no great talent. My eldest brother was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He handled cases seriously and never pursued selfish interests. My grandmother and mother both I have a mandate to do good deeds every year. My sister-in-law is a lady from a well-known family, and she is most dignified and polite. Also, she is naughty and laughs every year, and she is the treasure of the whole family. "

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at Cheng Wan, his eyes as red as blood.

The moment Cheng Wan and Gu Yan looked at each other, their hearts seemed to be suddenly grasped by big hands.

It doesn't hurt, but there is an indescribable soreness and discomfort.

Gu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing or crying.

"My grandfather once told the late emperor in private that the current emperor and the former King Duan have no people in their hearts and are not suitable to inherit the throne. I don't know how this word reached King Duan's ears."

"So, before the powerful King Duan was able to secure his throne, he couldn't wait to put my whole family in jail on the grounds that I, Mrs. Gu, had rebellious intentions."

The light was a little dim, but Cheng Wan still saw tears flashing in Gu Yan's eyes.

"My grandfather and others were fed poisoned wine on the second day after they were imprisoned. Among the people who delivered the poisoned wine, there was a guard leader who had been favored by my grandfather before. He exchanged the cup of poisoned wine that he was supposed to feed Suisui to drink. After becoming addicted to drugs, I prepared the body of a child about the same size as Sui Sui in advance, and secretly replaced Sui Sui."

Gu Yan looked at Gu Yu again, who was nestling in Cheng Wan's arms, "Sui Sui was given to me by a diehard secret fan of my family. When I saw Sui Sui, he has become what he is now. As for my family All those die-hard loyalists died on the way to escape. Now, only Shaoqing and I are left, and we still have years left."

Gu Yan smiled, and his smile was uglier than crying.

There were tears sliding down the sides of his slightly raised eyes.

Shaoqing stayed by the carriage to prevent others from disturbing Gu Yan and Cheng Wan's conversation.

At this time, Shaoqing bit his lower lip with his teeth, desperately holding back the cry that reached his throat.

Shaoqing cried loudly in his heart: "God is really unfair! Why should the young master go through such pain! The young master is really the best young master in the world!"

"Miss Cheng, as long as we enter Liangzhou, those pursuers will no longer be so blatant. Although King Rui's presence is not strong now, all the princes of the late emperor lived in the shadow of King Rui. I will Liangzhou, even if I want to surrender to Prince Rui, I am confident that Prince Rui will accept me. The war between our emperor and Prince An is stalemate. He dare not offend Prince Rui at this time for fear of Prince Rui and Prince An. Form an alliance and attack him together."

Gu Yan pursed his lips and added one last sentence.

"If Miss Cheng is really worried, starting from tomorrow, Shaoqing and I will stay in the carriage as much as possible and not go out as long as we still have Sui Sui. Miss Cheng, please,"

Gu Yan lowered his head, his two fists clenched tightly where no one else could see him.

"Please help me."

Gu Yan's voice was extremely hoarse. He had never asked for help from others like this.

But he really needs help now. He has to reach Shuoyang smoothly and meet King Rui.

He had to save his life, avenge his family, and raise his little nephew.

Cheng Wan calmly listened to the ins and outs and felt relieved for a while.

Having heard the general yell before, Cheng Wan knew that something bad had happened to Gu.

But she didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so tragic.

As for the suspicion that Gu Yan was making up stories to lie to her.

Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yan in silence, his head lowered and his whole body cold, and he heard Shaoqing's suppressed sobs in his ears.

If such a performance was performed by these two people.

Then Cheng Wan admitted defeat.

"The two thousand taels will be used as transportation fare and meal money for the three of you."

Cheng Wan's voice was very calm and gentle, but it soaked into the hearts of Gu Yan and Shaoqing like a trickle of warmth.

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan seriously and said in an extremely cautious tone: "Thank you very much, Miss Cheng. I will repay you for your great kindness today."

Shaoqing also kept thanking Cheng Wan.

He knew why the young master wanted to go with Miss Cheng's family.

One is to seek protection.

What he said was somewhat disrespectful of the young master's face.

But Shaoqing really thought so in his heart.

In Shaoqing's heart, Miss Cheng's martial arts value is much higher than that of his young master. He feels at ease when he goes on the road with Miss Cheng.

It's not that I regard Miss Cheng as a bodyguard, I just feel that having such a person by my side makes me feel at ease.

In addition to feeling at ease, walking with the Cheng family means that at least you can eat hot cooked food every day.

Although the meals are simple, they are much better than going hungry or eating raw food.

In addition to seeking protection, the second reason for leaving with Miss Cheng and her family was because of the young master.

The young master finally had a positive reaction to someone, so he had to be allowed to spend more time with Miss Cheng. Maybe the young master would gradually get better.
