After driving for two days and one night, I managed to leave this forest.

Xiao Yao couldn't slack off when he was on the road during the day, but his injury would worsen. At night, Mu Yunshen would take his place, and the horse was not in a hurry, so there was no need to worry too much.

It is said that he barely left the forest, because the mouth of the forest is like a cloth bag, the sides are still spreading, but there is a space in the middle, filled with mountains, rivers, water and tidal flats.

Some people can't live a good life. Once they calm down, there is always a sense of foreboding.While changing the medicine for himself, Xiao Yao pricked up his ears, for fear that a group of people would come out suddenly and shout for beating and killing.

His almost nervous reaction couldn't be hidden from Mu Yunshen, because he was also this kind of person, the hairs all over his body were trembling, afraid of the gurgling water and the whistling wind.

But this kind of vigilance also distracted Xiao Yao's attention. His wounds began to shed scabs, and the pink and tender new flesh was tight and itchy, like mosquito bites. He couldn't grasp it, so he could only scratch around. , to relieve addiction.

After passing this piece of land, the front is closer to the capital, and there is also a garrison. It is no longer the barren frontier fortress before, and we must be careful in everything.

Their horses were cleaned and their clothes changed at Wang Songren's.Wang Songren looked like an idiot, but he was really capable. He saved people and bought some clothes and hats. Mu Yunshen was more like a scholar, and Xiao Yao was more like a thug.

For a slightly richer family, if the son is away from home, it is reasonable to hire a bodyguard and book boy, not to mention that Xiao Yao is white and clean, not like a vicious wanted criminal.

——This was what they comforted themselves before entering the city.

After entering the city, I found that Xiao Yao's portrait was pasted all over the streets and alleys.I'm afraid that the world today is not peaceful, there are too many criminals who have committed heinous crimes and are still absconding, and the government can't find any manpower. The abstraction of his painting is so abstract that even real people standing beside him will definitely not be able to catch it.

Next to Xiao Yao was a woman who wrote to Xiao Wang's family. Xiao Yao guessed that it was his old mother in all likelihood. She really didn't recognize her mother, and her mother didn't know her son. Only the woman in the portrait could give birth to the woman in the portrait. Xiao Yao.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder there are always escapes in successive cases. If you can recognize this, it must be the painter himself?" Xiao Yao sighed.

In fact, the painter is not to blame for this incident. Most of the portraits come from the mouths of acquaintances. Some are out of shelter, and some are unconsciously demonized.

Fortunately, this painting is extremely evil, and Xiao Yao can wander around the street majestically.He wasn't worried about his old father in prison before. With the tyranny and procrastination of the current emperor, there are always people who can't be killed. As long as he absconds outside and doesn't make up the number of the nine clans, the sentence can be suppressed until after next autumn.

But now that his mother is also fleeing outside, he is not sure.

Based on Xiao Yao's understanding of his mother, something will definitely happen.

"My father and my mother have always had a very good relationship..." Xiao Yao corrected himself while drinking tea, "No...it's very, very good, I'm a burden."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Mu Yunshen had never had a family before, and he was also confused about the emotional issues involved in it.

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao got excited, his voice became louder, and he hurriedly put away his concerned gaze, "Boss, the tea is too bitter, warm the pot of wine for me."

Then he whispered, "You don't know, my mother's temperament is usually reckless, she will rob prison, assassinate, and commit trouble, she can really do it!"

"That's it." Mu Yunshen remained calm and unmoved.

Xiao Yao blinked, and heard Mu Yun say again, "I'm just joking."

You don't look like you're joking at all!

While talking, a group of people passed by the middle of the road.

The one who takes the lead is handsome, with a full beard and a face full of wind and frost, which can't resist the square and square good face. His appearance is like the established facial makeup on the stage, not too cunning, it must be a person A good man who behaves uprightly and sticks to the rules.

Sure enough, he slowed down the horse very slowly.The hooves of the tall horse intersected and moved, and it was a bit difficult to use, but there were many people on the street, so it was safe.

As soon as his speed slowed down, the people behind him also slowed down, not only did not look majestic, but rather cramped, they were crowded together in groups of two or three, all of them were big and three rough men, they were not good-looking at all.

Xiao Yao knew this person, his name was Li Youcheng, he was kind of friendly, he was under Xiao Gusheng's command back then, a vanguard and a supporter.

All in all, Xiao Yao could be considered to have snatched his job from Li Youcheng. Before he joined the army account, he had always been Li Youcheng's vanguard officer.

His marksmanship is so fierce that it is rare to meet an opponent, but it is a pity that his character is too upright, his mouth is stupid, and he is always at a disadvantage when he calls. On the contrary, Xiao Yao is shameless and invincible. When the opponent greets his parents, he greets the whole family. He readily accepted and added a few sentences, this kind of virtue is enough to make people angry before the fight begins.

Under the balance between the two, Li Youcheng could only give Xiao Yao the lead.

Based on Xiao Yao's understanding of Li Youcheng, he doesn't care about these at all.At the celebration banquet that year, Li Youcheng also sincerely thanked him, saying that he finally didn't have to quarrel with others, and even felt that Xiao Yao was working hard, so he drank less wine and left it for Xiao Yao.

Such a kind and honest person must have an elm head. The Holy One said that Xiao Gusheng conspired to rebel. Li Youcheng would definitely not believe it, but he would definitely tie Xiao Yao to him, and then argue about right and wrong.

Xiao Yao sighed, this idiot, how could he win against those who play tricks, I am afraid that the final end will be nothing more than burning jade and stone.

The teahouse where they drink is covered, just in case, Xiao Yao and Mu Yunshen are sitting in the corner, they may be able to see it if they look carefully, but they will definitely not be seen when they are riding a horse forward on the street.

The owner of the teahouse had just warmed up a pot of wine and served it. Mu Yunshen drank less and basically let Xiao Yao take one cup after another. He drank very quickly, and it seemed that he couldn't taste the taste at all. into the stomach.

There is no good wine in this kind of roadside tea house. It is homemade, and it has not passed the time, and it has been mixed with some water.

"Good wine!" Xiao Yao licked the wine stains on his lips, and even the buddies in the teahouse felt novelty when he said it - this is really a strange person, I am afraid that he has never had a good drink.

"Boss, help me fill the gourd too." Xiao Yao threw the wine gourd out, and said, "I don't want anything else, but the wine in the jug just now, thank you."

"I don't want to thank you, after all, I have to give money." The owner of the tea shop was very interesting, with a straight face and no politeness.No wonder the business in this teahouse is so-so, not good at all.

Mu Yunshen has gradually understood Xiao Yao's appearance of trying to hide it. He glanced back at the people on the street, and pretended to ask casually, "You know him?"

"Well, former colleagues."

With such a young face, even the stubble is buried in the skin, it is ridiculous for no reason to say that "colleague" is still "used to be".

"How are you?" Mu Yunshen asked again.

"Too upright, it's best not to meet him now." Xiao Yao took another sip of wine.

The pot is not as good as the altar, and it soon bottomed out. The boss glanced at it and saw how much money he had just given, so he simply refilled the pot for them.It seems that this boss is not greedy for cheap, but this boss is still a businessman, not greedy for cheap, but he doesn't know that this kind of not greedy for cheap is to some extent a kind of separation, and he wants to distance himself from them.

What Xiao Yao said was strange, but Mu Yunshen understood it.In terms of qualifications, he knows people several times more than Xiao Yao.

"Then avoid it." Mu Yunshen said, "Passing by here is just a rest, to replenish some food and drink, and leave earlier to save more accidents."

Xiao Yao nodded.

The city surrounded by mountains and rivers has no sand and dust even in windy days. Everyone wears simple clothes, and it is impossible to cover their heads and face. If Xiao Yao is dressed like this, it is more likely to arouse suspicion.So he had no choice but to follow behind Mu Yunshen with a low eyebrow, pretending to be docile and timid, and trying to avoid the officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, this city is not like the wild and small frontiers. The city is not chaotic, and most of the officers and soldiers patrolling around pay attention to family matters. Travelers like them, as long as they don't make trouble, won't take a second look.

Back then when Li Youcheng was transferred from the border, there was a small group of people with him, Xiao Yao had been running small stoves with them all the year round, so they knew each other.

Li Youcheng's family background is not low, and he does things down-to-earth. Looking at the soldiers he leads, everyone is holding a piece of yellow silk. Xiao Yao thinks that it is his own portrait on it-of course, it is different from the ones that are casually pasted on the wall. points are similar.

It's not that Xiao Yao is conceited, as far as the relationship between Li Youcheng and himself is concerned, he can afford such special treatment.

It's a pity that this kind of special treatment is not a good thing. He tossed and hid, and the ease he had just entered the city disappeared in an instant.

This also gave him a chance to re-examine Mu Yunshen.

Young Master Mu has been pampered and well-off since he was a child, not to mention far away, he may not have even been out of the house a few times, so Xiao Yao always takes care of him along the way, fearing that he will not adapt to the colorful world outside.

Looking at it now, this is not the case. Mu Yunshen can bargain and compare prices. He just doesn't care about it, and he is not willing to do it. When he really put it on the table, he was never vague.

In a blink of an eye, I bought everything that needed to be bought, even the inn was settled, only a few medicinal herbs were not available in the store for the time being, and I had to go to see it after a night.

Li Youcheng's daily street patrol routes are similar, and the time to pass the teahouse is also similar, with an hour and a half between them. Although there are occasional delays, the difference is at most half an hour.

Today, the city is peaceful, that is, the east family lost a penny, and the west family broke a bowl, Li Youcheng left a few people to deal with it, and the others naturally followed him back home.

Even the officials have fixed hours, and they can't trip up their subordinates and prevent them from resting.

Just as he was passing by the teahouse, a man suddenly appeared, with a pedantic face, standing straight in front of the horse's hooves, and was almost stepped on, but the man did not move.
