After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Time seemed to pass in an instant.

Before they knew it, the sun had set. Xiao Chengji carried Yan Yu onto the horse. They had walked a long way here, and it would definitely be dark by the time they returned.

Yan Yu and Xiao Chengji were both a little hungry, so he rode his horse outside to look for an inhabited place.

This time, I soon saw the felt tents where the herdsmen lived, with faint yellow lights inside.

The herdsmen here also knew that the emperor was going north to hunt, and the officials of Kuangtian had already greeted the herdsmen living here.

The host saw that Xiao Chengji was dressed in Han Chinese clothes and riding a tall horse, and guessed that he might be a nobleman from the capital.

He took the gold ingot handed to him by the other party, and without any delay, he prepared fodder and water for Xiao Chengji's horse.

The little girl, about six or seven years old, from the herdsmen's family looked very excited. She chattered a lot to Yan Yu. Yan Yu could only understand Mandarin and the southern dialect. He couldn't understand what the people here were saying, so he looked at Xiao Chengji curiously.

Xiao Chengji smiled and said, "She asked you to go and see the sheep she raised."

Yan Yu followed the little girl. It smelled a bit smelly outside the sheep pen. The little girl looked at Yan Yu's clothes and asked her to stand outside. After a while, she came out with a cute lamb.

This lamb should be less than ten days old. It is still very small, with a pink nose and mouth, and it bleats loudly.

The little girl gave the sheep to Yan Yu to hold.

Yan Yu had never held a sheep before, so he took it from her and the two of them played with it for a while.

The little girl's father came over and wanted to take her sheep away.

The little girl looked at Yan Yu and started talking a lot.

Xiao Chengji said: "Do you want to eat roast lamb? This lamb is for you."

Yan Yu shook her head. They were just playing together, and she couldn't bear to eat now.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she pulled Yan Yu to send the lamb back to the sheepfold.

Xiao Chengji and Yan Yu stayed here at night. Yan Yu had never stayed in a felt tent before, and she felt that there was the smell of cattle and sheep everywhere, which made her a little uncomfortable.

But as it was the first time she saw these things, she found them very rare and excited. She couldn’t sleep while holding Xiao Chengji’s arm.

Xiao Chengji scratched Yan Yu's nose and said, "The children in this family like you very much."

He could see that Yan Yu was not averse to the children here.

However, the grassland on this side of the mountain was a little short of water. The sleeves of the little girl's clothes were shiny dirty, her face was black, and her braids had not been washed for who knows how long. Yan Yu actually used a handkerchief to wipe her nose and accompanied her to the sheepfold to see the sheep. This shocked Xiao Chengji.

You have to know that every time he went to sleep at Yan Yu's place, he had to take a shower, and even in the middle of winter he had to wash himself before going to bed.

If you think about it, maybe it's understandable. Yan Yu is alone in the backyard all day and should be looking forward to having a child to play with her.

Xiao Chengji woke up before dawn the next day.

Yan Yu wakes up very late and is still sleeping now.

The conditions of this herdsman's family are already very good, but they are certainly not comparable to those in the capital. The felt tents are somewhat dirty, and the smell of burnt cow and sheep dung is lingering.

So at night Xiao Chengji only let Yan Yu take off her outer cloak and the slightly heavy outer robe, leaving her wearing her inner clothes, and wrapped her with the cloak and his outer robe.

Yan Yu was sleeping soundly, but the sound of sheep bleating could be heard from outside the tent. Not long after, Yan Yu opened his eyes.

She felt that this day and night was like a dream, and it was particularly novel to think back on it.

If it weren't for Xiao Chengji - if it weren't for him, perhaps she would never have the chance to go too far in her life.

Sometimes Yan Yu would envy Wanli's bold and outspoken character, and envy Wanli's idea of ​​traveling around.

But people cannot be compared at all, it seems that everyone has his or her own destiny.

Yan Yu's family was declining, and her maternal family raised her with great respect. Her life was tied to the royal family, and she could only survive in the deep palace backyard.

Xiao Chengji was the only color in it, allowing her to see and experience things she had never imagined before.

Seeing that she woke up, Xiao Chengji handed her some tea for her to rinse her mouth, and wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and face.

Yan Yu rubbed his eyes, still feeling a little groggy.

She always carried a cloisonné powder box in her arms, on which was inlaid a small exquisite bronze mirror. She also had a small rose-wrapped cloisonné comb inlaid with gems and a gold-backed jade comb, which could be used as a comb for combing her hair or as a piece of jewelry.

She combed her hair slightly and came out with Xiao Chengji.

It was very chilly in the early morning, with a little dew on the grass leaves. The sun had just risen, and the golden grass and trees in the distance were shrouded in golden light.

The little girl from the shepherd's family got up very early and drove the sheep out of the pen skillfully. When she saw Yan Yu coming out, she held yesterday's lamb and showed it to Yan Yu.

The little lamb was indeed very white, with clean fur, and its cry was soft and sweet.

Breakfast was also ready here. The herdsmen served a sumptuous meal of mutton, various milk cakes, pot tea, pies and buns.

Yan Yu had no appetite when he woke up in the morning, so he slowly drank a bowl of tea with a strong milky flavor.

Xiao Chengji was talking to the herdsman, and Yan Yu couldn't understand what they were saying.

In fact, Xiao Chengji was asking about the officials here. It is always more reliable to ask the local people about the performance of a local official than to look at the reports they submit.

They all took out daggers to cut the meat and ate it with salt water. Even the little girl used the dagger to cut the mutton skillfully, separating the flesh and bones cleanly with one stroke.

The little girl seemed to like Yan Yu very much. Seeing that the girl didn't eat mutton, she thought Yan Yu didn't know how to use a knife, so she skillfully cut some firm mutton leg meat for her.

After the meal, Xiao Chengji took Yan Yu away. Two secret guards in dark brocade clothes outside saw that the prince did not go home last night, so they came all the way and guarded outside the felt tent all night.

Yesterday, Yan Yu gave the little girl a purse filled with candied lotus seeds and rose fragrant snow pills. The hospitable little girl wanted to give the lamb to Yan Yu, but the lamb was not easy to take home and raise, so Xiao Chengji did not accept it.

He carried Yan Yu onto the horse and let two secret guards go ahead.

From yesterday afternoon to this morning, Xiao Chengji had been away from the palace for a day and a night. Such a big commotion was actually prohibited, and the emperor was completely unaware of it.

Yan Yu and Xiao Chengji talked along the way, and unknowingly they were getting farther and farther away from the inhabited herdsmen. After crossing another mountain, they would be closer to the Kuangtian Palace.

Passing a poplar forest, Xiao Chengji was originally talking to Yan Yu about something when he suddenly pulled the reins and the horse stopped.

The two secret guards noticed something was wrong, their expressions suddenly changed, and they both drew the long swords at their waists.

Twenty or thirty masked assassins jumped out of the poplar forest.
