Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

Xue Yunzhou led the Kang family and others to stop and go northward for nearly a month. Because the weather was getting colder, there were withered branches and leaves and yellow weeds everywhere along the way. Even the green hills lost most of their green color. After all, it is an original ecological environment without pollution, and it is also a pleasant journey along the way.

In fact, for Xue Yunzhou, appreciating the scenery is just a pleasure in bitterness. It is not easy to walk this journey. On the one hand, the life of eating and sleeping in the open is not easy, and on the other hand, he is worried about the safety of He Yuan. I don’t know when he will finish playing. The most important thing is that I have seen too many sufferings along the way, and these sufferings are only the tip of the iceberg in this era. As long as you think about it a little more, you will feel heavy.

It was winter now, and although they had prepared warm clothes, the cold wind from the north was particularly bitter, and they would still shiver slightly when they entered the carriage through the gaps.

Xue Yunzhou was still not used to the loose clothes in ancient times. He just felt colder when he was sitting dryly, so he rubbed his hands to let out a sigh of relief. He took out the map he brought out from He Yuan's study room, spread it out and looked at it carefully for a while, and then stretched his fingers to make gestures. Fan, couldn't help frowning and muttering: "It's been almost a month, how come it's only such a short distance? If this continues, it won't be Chinese New Year in Qingzhou, will it?"

After they left the capital, they bought two more carriages, so that Kang and Gu could ride in one alone, which was more convenient on weekdays, and everyone else could hide in the carriage to escape the cold wind or rain.

Xue Yunzhou shared the same car with Xue Yunqing all the way, Xue Yunqing was reading a book at this time, when he heard what he said, he closed the book and glanced over, and said with a light smile: "Princess pampered, I am afraid she is not used to the days of eating and sleeping outside?"

Xue Yunzhou has long been accustomed to his cynicism, picked up the map and approached him: "Look, if you walk like this, can you reach Qingzhou before the Chinese New Year?"

Xue Yunqing took a look and said, "I might be able to get there, but so what? Qingzhou is not my home."

"It's my home!" Xue Yunzhou looked proud, "The whole Qingzhou belongs to the prince, and the prince's is mine. I think you just have a bit of a vicious mouth, and your character can be tolerated. Anyway, you are a brother, and mine is also counted. You have one."

Xue Yunqing glanced at him in disgust.

Xue Yunzhou patted him on the shoulder with the corner of his mouth pulled: "How is it? Enough loyalty?"

Xue Yunqing pushed the hand on the shoulder away, and said lightly: "I am not short of money, and I don't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation." After finishing speaking, he paused, and added, "The prince's may not be all yours. One day he gets tired of you and kicks you out, I can take you in, but you'd better be better off yourself."

Xue Yunzhou looked at him for a moment with an expression of "you really have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart", then smiled indifferently, and proudly said: "My greatest promise is to win the prince's exclusive favor!"

Xue Yunqing: "..."

At this time, Song Quan's voice came from outside: "Princess, this place is not far from Pingcheng, and we should be able to arrive before dark."

Entering the city means having a good meal and a good sleep. Xue Yunzhou immediately cheered up, opened the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What time is it?"

Song Quan looked at the sky: "It's noon."

"No wonder I'm hungry, then stop and eat something, rest for a while before going on the road."

"Yes."

Song Quan passed on the word, and the group stopped at the leeward side of the mountain. He Liangcai led Yu Qing and the others to start making a fire and cooking. Can't stop.

Xue Yunzhou didn't like to put on airs, and besides, it was in the wild, and he couldn't put it on if he wanted to. He was really greedy, so he just squatted by the fire and did it himself.At his call, everyone came over to sit or squat around the fire, except Kang and Gu who were more reserved, everyone else was salivating.

There are two hares called by the guards on the grill. Although they are relatively thin, they are better than the meat. At this moment, they are sizzling and sizzling, which is really appetizing.

Xue Yunzhou cut off a small piece of meat with a dagger, tasted it himself, cut several larger pieces and served them to Kang and Gu respectively, and then cut some for Xue Yunqing and himself, and then waved to others to eat. Only then have they started.

When eating here was in full swing, two figures came out from the woods not far away. Song Quan immediately became alert and put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. common people.

The old man had gray hair, and he staggered along with a boy who was sucking his fingers. Both of them were skinny, their eyes were protruding and big, and they were dressed in tattered and dirty clothes dangling in the cold wind. They looked really pitiful.

Xue Yunzhou has seen such people many times. Every time he sees these poor people who are so hungry and shivering from the cold, he feels extremely uncomfortable. Although he had no father and no mother in his last life, his life is still good. , I have been living a good life since I can remember, and I only know about the poor people in the society from the news. Compared with the current era, those people are simply heaven and earth.

The old man walked over tremblingly, pulled the boy and knelt down again, his old voice was so weak that he could hardly hear it: "I beg some noble people to do good deeds and give my grandson a mouthful of hot soup. We haven't eaten for two days. It's okay, my old man starved to death, but my grandson..." He couldn't help sobbing.

The boy raised his head, bit his unclean fingers, stared at the roasted rabbit meat on the fire grill with wide eyes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Xue Yunzhou was a little surprised. In this era of strict hierarchy, almost all the refugees he encountered along the way squatted aside and watched eagerly, and they didn't dare to ask for food. Unexpectedly, this old man was very courageous. He must have really couldn't bear his grandson to suffer. Are you brave enough to come here?

Kang could not bear it, and looked at Xue Yunzhou: "Yunzhou..."

Xue Yunzhou came back to his senses, nodded, and quickly asked someone to scoop up some hot soup and put some food over there.

Yu Qing has long been familiar with the way of doing these things, so he hastily delivered the food to the old man.

The old man was grateful, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, nobleman! Thank you, nobleman!"

Xue Yunzhou couldn't bear to look away.

Although the refugees he encountered along the way all tried their best to help, but this was really a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. He could manage one meal, but he couldn't manage the next one. What's more, there are countless displaced people in the world. Saved?He is not a noble person, but he came from a generation of prosperity in the peaceful years, and seeing these tragic situations suddenly, he was shocked and panicked even more.

The atmosphere was a bit dull for a while, Xue Yunzhou was immersed in drinking soup, suddenly saw Song Quan standing up, quickly raised his head, followed his line of sight, and saw a group of people suddenly walking out of the forest, he couldn't help being surprised again.

These people, all skinny and ragged, walked up supporting each other and looked helplessly at the fire on their side.

Behind them, another group of people came over...

Xue Yunzhou's eyes widened slightly, a little unbelievable. Every time he decided to take a rest, two guards would check around to make sure there was nothing suspicious around them before they would stop, and today was no exception.

But right now, such a large group of people appeared without warning, which is really weird.

Xue Yunzhou counted secretly, and there were three to forty people. Surprised, he raised his eyes and looked into the forest.There are few broad-leaved trees in the north. In addition, it is cold and the vegetation is not lush, so the forest is not too much cover. It makes no sense that so many people can't find it. Could it be that they are all hiding in the ground?

Song Quanquan's face was solemn, his hand on the handle of the knife was slightly tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Princess, be careful, these people act suspiciously."

Xue Yunzhou looked at those old and weak women and children, and although he didn't think they were aggressive, he nodded cautiously: "Okay." He helped Mrs. Kang up, and led a group of people to get on the carriage.

But before they took a few steps, all those people gathered around at a faster speed, shouting "I beg your lord to give me a meal" or "I beg you to do good deeds", their voices rose and fell, all revealing sorrow.

Xue Yunzhou here has Xue Yunqing, who has limited legs and feet, and two women from the Kang family and the Gu family. The speed can't be fast, and they are surrounded by them in a short time.

Standing in front of Xue Yunzhou was a young woman with a big belly and a girl with her head raised in confusion. He wanted to push them away, but he couldn't do it, so he had to turn to the other side, only to face another one who was almost bent over. The granny on the ground, this granny is skinny, obviously she will fall on her back if she touches it.

Xue Yunzhou looked embarrassed: "Everyone, don't stop us, we don't have that much to eat."

Those words didn't work at all, those people didn't show any intention of moving away, they all looked at them helplessly, mumbling in their mouths begging for food.

Xue Yunzhou clicked his tongue, looked at Xue Yunqing, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any copper plates on you?"

Xue Yunqing took out the purse he was carrying with him, took out a handful of copper plates from it, and spread it far away.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then fell silent again. Only two children ran over, picked them up one by one, and carried them around with the hem of their clothes. Others still surrounded them.

Xue Yunqing raised his eyebrows: "They don't even want copper coins? Is there someone behind this?"

Seeing that things were getting more and more unusual, Song Quan immediately pulled out his knife, and several guards nearby also pulled out their knives. The atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense, but those people still refused to retreat.

Song Quan looked into the distance, and said loudly: "Where is the coward! What kind of a hero is driving the old and weak, women and children? If you have the ability, show your face!"

After the voice fell, there was only the whirring of the north wind around, and no one else appeared for a long time, let alone answered.

Xue Yunzhou frowned: "Forget it, let's force our way in." Saying this, he raised his hand and pushed the person in front of him away.

Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by the hem of his clothes after taking a step out, and the man dragged him and did not let go, Qiqi Ai said: "My lord, let's have a meal, we are so hungry, we have eaten weeds for a few days, and if you don't have food, please give me a treat." Cake bar..."

Xue Yunzhou took out a dagger and cut open the corner of the clothes he was pulling, and the man jumped up and pulled the other side. Yu Qing hurriedly tore away the person who was entangled with him, and rushed over to block Xue Yunzhou. Unexpectedly, two more people came up behind him. He dragged them relentlessly.

Xue Yunzhou's face was ugly, and he wanted to kick all these people down, but he couldn't bear it. He looked back and saw that almost everyone was entangled. They were only a dozen or so people, and the number of opponents was more than twice theirs. , Even Song Quan was helpless with a knife.

Xue Yunzhou looked at those guards, and suddenly felt a little emotional. The original regent was simply inhuman, but how did he cultivate these guards who still had a conscience?Or did they follow the second brother for a long time, and gradually changed their temper?

But at the moment the situation was weird, he just lost his mind for a little while, and soon turned his attention to these people in front of him.

Dozens of people crowded together in one place, and the scene was chaotic.

When Xue Yunzhou was thinking about whether to really do it, he suddenly heard Kang's low voice: "Yunzhou, carriage!"

Xue Yunzhou thumped in his heart, and suddenly raised his head, only to see their four carriages suddenly moving.

Song Quan also found out that he didn't care much, he raised his foot and kicked the person over. With this kick, he didn't have any worries after that. The other three guards quickly knocked him down and rushed out.

For a while, there were wailing sounds all around, some old and weak women and children fell to the ground, some children cried loudly, it was a mess.

This sudden turn of events was obviously caused by the other party’s insinuation. Xue Yunzhou’s headache must have been instigated by someone in the dark, and maybe the other party had already observed them all the way, otherwise it would be impossible to rob them of their plain carriage. It is impossible to use their kindness to drive these refugees to disturb the sight.

While he was thinking about it secretly, a dozen or so young men suddenly rushed out not far away. Although the clothes of these ten or so men were shabby and their hair was disheveled, they were all tall and mighty, and each of them was wielding hoes, sickles, sticks, etc. As a weapon, it is not a good kind at first sight.

Xue Yunzhou was shocked, and pulled Kang behind him, shouting: "Liu Huwei, Yu Huwei! Stop them!"

The remaining two guards rushed out immediately, and He Liangcai, Yu Qing and others turned pale with fright, and quickly stepped forward to block Xue Yunzhou.

The situation changed again, and those refugees rushed forward to entangle them again.

Seeing that some of those people were fighting with the guards, and some were running closer and closer, all Xue Yunzhou's intolerance turned into anger at this moment, and he raised his hand and chopped down the back of the neck of the person beside him. Noticing that it was a pale-faced middle-aged woman, she suddenly felt that her hand was scalded.

But the situation in front of him was really not optimistic, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock out the people who rushed forward one by one. To his surprise, although Xue Yunqing had inconvenient legs and feet, his hands and arms were extremely flexible, and he even knocked down two people , while He Liangcai and Yu Qing were somewhat powerless.

The situation became more and more tense, the number of opponents was too large, they couldn't handle it at all, when the refugees around fell one by one, those strong men also surrounded them.

Xue Yunzhou looked into the distance, feeling a little worried. There were too many people in this group, and he wondered if Song Quan and the others would be able to snatch the carriage back safely. What was more important now was how he could protect the safety of the Kang family and the others. .

The two sides did not stand in a stalemate for too long, and the dozen or so people rushed towards them at the same time. Xue Yunzhou wanted to protect Kang, but suddenly a stick swept over him. With a sound of "噗嗤", the man was stabbed in the abdomen, and one of his arms also felt severe pain.

Before he could recover, this arm was grabbed by another person. He turned around and raised his knee as if kicking the opponent's vitals. Unexpectedly, the person was extremely flexible and avoided it very quickly.The man stretched out his hand to grab him again, Xue Yunzhou bent down and rolled on the spot, just as he escaped the opponent's attack, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach.

At this moment, he subconsciously frowned and covered his stomach, and then he was accidentally pressed down by someone's knee, and then a rope was put on him. It was too late for him to struggle, and he was soon tied up.

Xue Yunzhou was pulled to stand up, his stomach was still aching, but it was much better than the moment before, he looked around, his face changed drastically, it was only a few rounds, and they were all tied up.

Not long after, a man wandered over. Judging from the timing of his appearance, he should be the boss of this group. Xue Yunzhou looked at him with a sullen face: "What do you want?"

The man was full of banditry, and he showed his white teeth in a smile: "Borrow me some money."

Xue Yunqing on the side stared at him coldly: "It's just to borrow some money, but it's such a big fight."

The man stared at him, smiled again and said, "There are so many people to support, I can't help it! Ah...who owns your money? If you don't tell me, I will find it myself!"

Xue Yunzhou was secretly startled. This person used the refugees to interfere, stole their carriage, and even led a few guards away. thing.

In fact, he guessed right. For the convenience of going out, Xue Yunzhou simplified as much as possible. He has no shortage of money, so he naturally carries bank notes and silver with him.

The man glanced around: "They all look pretty good, or even snatch them back, brothers, what do you think?"

Everyone cheered in unison: "Good!"

Xue Yunzhou frowned when he saw someone's eyes on Kang, and was about to speak when he heard the sound of horseshoes, and although the sound of horseshoes was far away, there was a sense of rumble and shock.

The person on the opposite side also heard it, and their expressions changed slightly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see four black dots in the distance getting bigger and bigger, and then Song Quan and others appeared in the field of vision driving a carriage. Song Quan stared at the situation here, Immediately speed up the horse and come over.

The bandit leader grabbed Xue Yunqing, drew out his knife and placed it in front of his neck, and shouted loudly: "Don't come here! Swords have no eyes!"

Song Quan hurriedly stopped the carriage, hesitantly, and looked at Xue Yunzhou inquiringly.

Xue Yunzhou said to the bandit leader: "What are you doing with a cripple? Let him go, come and tie me up!"

Xue Yunqing gave him an ugly look.

Xue Yunzhou stared back at him: "You are a useless person!"

The bandit leader laughed: "You guys really know how to play tricks, this one in my hand is the right one?"

The corner of Xue Yunzhou's mouth twitched: "How can I see that?"

"Whether you walk or sit upright, you are quite similar to me. Although the one in my hand is lame, he is more like a nobleman than you."

Xue Yunzhou: "..."

Although the timing is wrong, I really want to give him the middle finger.

The bandit leader laughed again: "You envy him? Brothers, give this one a knife too!"

Xue Yunzhou looked at the knife approaching, and his heart was tense. The bandit leader didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he was a little worried whether this person would obediently let him go if he took the money.

The scene was silent for a moment, and the rumbling sound became clearer. Only then did everyone realize that the sound of horseshoes just heard was not from Song Quan and the others, and their faces changed.

But after a cup of tea, the sound became louder and louder, gradually piercing the eardrums, the bandit leader felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Take them back to the mountain!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of piercing through the air, and a sharp arrow rushed towards him, and it was nailed to his feet.

The bandit leader was startled and raised his head suddenly.

A large army suddenly appeared in front of it, and a black cloud rushed in like a sea of ​​clouds, majestic and shocking.

The army was getting closer and closer, Xue Yunzhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked in shock at the tall and straight figure of the horse at the front of the team.

Second brother... Second brother! ! !

He Yuan raised his hand, the flag-bearer beside him waved the big flag violently, and the army behind stopped with a swipe.

He Yuan frowned, his eyes fixed on Xue Yunzhou's body for an instant, seeing a knife on his neck, his eyes suddenly became cold, his eyes scanned half a circle, and fell on the bandit leader.

The bandit leader subconsciously stopped his back, and slightly tightened his hand holding the knife.

He Yuan said coldly: "What's going on?"

The bandit leader shouted loudly: "General, look at the group of old and weak women and children on the ground. They were all killed by these people in the hands of the grassroots! The grasslands saw the injustice, so we met with swords!"

Yu Qing shouted: "There is no murder, they just passed out!"

Xue Yunzhou had a headache.

He Yuan's expression didn't move, he just said indifferently: "What are you doing with my concubine tied up?"

The expression of the bandit leader changed drastically, and so did the expressions of all the others. Under the oppression of the black army in front of them, they all faded away.

The bandit leader was full of disbelief, paused, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Yunqing.

Xue Yunqing: "..."

Xue Yunzhou: "..."
