Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

"It's up to you, Fuxiu can't tell whether it's good or bad. But you go, he has to know anyway. It may be right to do so. But... there is one thing I don't quite understand. Ruo Ao clearly felt uneasy Qu Wuchen and the rest of the clan don't like Ruo Ao's behavior, so why would he arrange a fight to accompany him?"

"what?"

"Perhaps, it is because of this that the Ruo Ao clan... the Ruo Ao clan are sent to protect the king. If the king makes a mistake, it is their responsibility. This will make them afraid to act rashly... "

Guan Fuxiu lowered his head and muttered to himself for a while, Xiong Lu thought about it, understood his meaning, and said: "I didn't think about it too much. Ruo Ao, are you really so restless? I think Douban seems to really want to help I belong to the great king. The reason why the Ruo Ao family became the target of public criticism is mainly because they hold the military power. If they don’t want to rebel, then the whole state of Chu will be peaceful. I think there is another reason why everyone is targeting the Ruo Ao family. Others The Dukes of Chu are no match for the Ruo Ao family in terms of power, so they regard them as a thorn in their side."

"What you said is also reasonable. The Qu family, the Ruo family, etc. have indeed targeted the Ruo Ao family, and many officials with non-public clans and foreign surnames are also dissatisfied with the Ruo Ao family's power. But... the Ruo Ao family It really has to be guarded against.”

"Of course I understand. This matter has already been discussed together, and we will prepare for it tomorrow, and set off for Sanmiao the day after tomorrow."

Guan Fuxiu smiled slightly and said, "Listen to you."

On the third day, Douban led a small group of people and followed Xiong Lu to Sanmiao.Xiong Lu brought Pan Dang and a few more familiar and trusted soldiers, but did not call Shang Zifan.Zifan is younger than him, has some kung fu but is not advanced, and has an irritable temperament.After thinking about it, Xiong Lu still let him stay in the camp, and Zizhong would watch him.

Zifan sent him away with tears in his eyes, Xiong Lu was ashamed, and returned in two or three days, is it necessary?

The group rode their horses all the way to the south. This was the first time he had traveled such a long distance on horseback.The scenery along the way is unique, like running in a beautiful landscape painting.When the wind blows past his ears and the mountains and rivers recede rapidly, he feels an unprecedented freedom.In the early morning, he rode forward with his horse, only taking a short rest on the road. When it was dark, he seemed to have entered the boundary of Sanmiao.What is gratifying is that there is actually a small village here, where a dozen families live.It seems that the accommodation for the night has been settled.

Douban went to ask for a room, and Xiong Lu sat under a big tree to rest.Guan Fuxiu walked to his side and asked, "Are you tired? This is the first time you have traveled such a long distance on horseback."

The couple of bears shook their heads and said, "I'm a little tired, but it's okay. How far is it from here to where we're going?"

"Let's go to Chenyang. From here, we will arrive in about three or four hours."

"That's good. We'll rest here tonight, and we'll be on our way tomorrow morning, and we'll be there by noon."

At this time, Dou Ban came over and said: "My wife, the accommodation has been arranged. You, your bodyguard and Pan Dang live in this household. I will go to another house with the rest of the people to stay overnight."

Xiong Lu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Dou."

It is inconvenient to go out, so they pretend to be ordinary uncles and nephews, and they don't care about the etiquette.

Xiong Lu walked into the courtyard of this family.He looked around and saw that this family was a relatively spacious one nearby.It was a young woman who received them, she seemed a little shy, she looked at them for a long time while holding the child, and then led them into the house.An old woman sat in the middle of the main room, where a square pit was dug for cooking and heating.The old woman was cooking soup, and the aroma was permeating.

The young woman and the old woman spoke a few words, but Xiong Lu couldn't understand a word. He guessed that they spoke Miao language.After finishing speaking, the old woman showed a slight smile on her face, and said a few words to the young woman.The young woman turned her head to look at them and said, "Sit down, guests. This place is simple and there is nothing to entertain. Today there is only mushroom soup and fish soup."

"That's really troublesome sister-in-law, we will eat whatever you eat."

The young woman nodded and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, my husband has gone hunting, and it's always inconvenient for two women, so I just asked my mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law welcomes you very much. I'll go get the dishes and wine for the guests .” After finishing speaking, he carried the child to pick up the bowls and chopsticks.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we don't drink."

The woman said embarrassingly: "Just now your uncle gave me the money to spend the night with my mother-in-law. I don't have any good food to entertain you here. If you don't drink, I'll boil some eggs."

The hospitality was hard to come by, the woman not only scrambled eggs, but also boiled a dozen or so eggs for them, saying that they would take them with them on the road.Xiong Lu asked: "Is the money really enough?"

The woman said: "Little brother, don't be polite, your uncle gave us a lot of money, enough for my mother-in-law and I to use for two or three months."

Only then did Xiong Lu feel relieved and went to drink mushroom soup.He only took a sip before raising his head in surprise. The taste is really delicious. This is the original wild mushroom soup.He looked at Guan Fuxiu, he seemed to like this soup very much.Pan Dang was not good at words, he finished a big bowl early, raised his head in embarrassment, and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I have another bowl?"

The woman said with a smile: "The mushroom soup cooked by my mother-in-law is the best. If you like it, drink more."

It was late at night, and the woman took a small oil lamp to guide them.She said: "There are only two guest rooms, one large and one small. I'll show you."

Xiong Lu pointed to Guan Fuxiu and said: "I will live in one room with him, Pan Dang, you live in another room."

After hearing this, the woman said, "The two of you can live in this big room. There is a stream behind the house, and the weather is not so cold now, so you can wash your face and feet in the stream." After she finished speaking, she turned to Pan Dang and said : "This little brother may have to wait, there is no bedding in this room, I will help you make it."

Pan Dang said: "It's okay, sister-in-law, take your time."

The two entered the room, Guan Fuxiu fastened the peg.The room is very simple. The bed is made of straw, reeds and pine needles, and mats and bedding are spread on top of it.However, he sat up and smelled it, and it was full of the aroma of pine needles and weeds, and he felt quite clean.Guan Fuxiu touched it with his hand, and said, "The quilt should have just been dried, it's quite clean."

Guan Fuxiu walked to the window, and the moon happened to rise to the top of the mountain, round and bright.Xiong Lu leaned over to the window and said, "The moon and stars are scarce tonight."

"When it's late at night, let's go to the stream behind to wash."

Xiong Lu untied his belt and said, "Okay, I've been driving all day today, and I'm sweating all over."

The two lay down for a while, and when they heard that there was no movement around them, and the crying of the child disappeared, they quietly jumped out of the window, climbed over the fence, and went to the stream, took off their shoes and coats, and played in the stream.

The surrounding area is empty, and the houses are a little farther away.But in the dead of night, they didn't dare to make too much noise.He asked, "Fuxiu, can you understand Miao language?"

"Naturally understandable."

"What did the grandmother and sister-in-law say when we first came here?"

Guan Fuxiu mischievously splashed water on him and said, "Then grandma praised you for being handsome."

"Ah?" Xiong Lu said unexpectedly, "Don't lie to me, are you talking nonsense?"

"No nonsense. The rest is discussing what to cook for us, guessing what we do, how much money Douban gave them and so on."

"Grandma can't understand us?"

"Understandable. Miao people generally understand official language, but they are not very good at speaking it. Young people understand official language more, but some don't understand it."

"That's it, what about Chen Yang?"

"Chenyang is almost the same. Those who have gone to school in the clan and those who want to travel far away probably understand Mandarin, while those who stay at home may not understand. Come here, and I will wash your hair for you."

The bear couple lay on their backs on Guan Fuxiu's lap, with the bright moon above their heads.Guan Fuxiu rubbed his hair, said: "It has grown so long in one year."

The couple of bears was lying in the stream, which was icy cold, but within his acceptable range.He said: "This era is really troublesome. With such long hair, it takes a lot of time to just comb and wash. How nice it is to have short hair."

"Yue Kingdom has tattooed hair. Maybe they think the same as people of your time. But I think it looks more solemn if you grow your hair longer."

"is it?"

"You look good with long hair. I think you look better than when I first saw you."

"Ah, really? My mother saw me like this, and insisted that I was a murderer and arrested me for a haircut."

Guan Fuxiu asked curiously, "What... Matt?"

Xiong Lu burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, you don't understand, it is a unique Internet vocabulary of our era. Internet, I told you last time. Kill Matt, it is some strangely dressed Young people who dye their hair in all colors and do weird hairstyles, enjoy eccentric decorations, and some like tattoos..."

Guan Fuxiu thought for a while, and said seriously: "Oh, can the Yue people be called Sha Matt?"

"Hahahaha, if you think about it carefully, it should be quite appropriate. They like to cut their hair and have tattoos. Compared with other countries in this era, they are indeed quite murderous. Fuxiu, you are so happy, hahaha... But... But I haven't seen anyone from Yue country other than Yue Ji, I think Yue Ji is quite normal."

Guan Fuxiu met Xiong Lu's eyes with an expression that you are not allowed to talk about other women.Xiong Lu swallowed, and said, "Are you finished washing? I feel cold all over. I'll get up and wash for you."

Guan Fuxiu bowed her head and kissed him on the lips, said: "Okay, you can help me wash. We have to hurry up, we will catch cold if we keep soaking in the water."
