The rise of the president in the harem

Grandma pushed Gao Yue's hand, refusing to take the gold leaf, and said: "You gave it to me last night, and you put the broken silver on the mat, right? Don't give it any more. You keep it for yourself." Come on, it will come in handy on the road."

Gao Yue said, "It's not the same. What you helped me is not comparable to these few dollars. Take it."

Da Lang watched his mother and Gao Yue push back and forth, sighed, and said, "Stop arguing, the sky will be dawn if you continue arguing. We have to go!"

"Idiot! You know how to hurry, you won't help me persuade me, right?" Grandma glared at her son.

Da Lang was so choked that he couldn't say a word, so Gao Yue could only say: "If Grandma doesn't accept it, I have to go to Erlang for Grandma to repay your kindness for this day."

"You," Grandma wiped her eyes vigorously twice, and said, "Don't go, don't go!" Then, with a sob, tears flowed down.

Gao Yue hugged her lightly, patted her on the back again, stuffed the gold leaf into her hand, and said, "Okay, I won't go! Go back quickly, I'm leaving!"

Grandma wiped her tears and said: "You are a good boy, you should take care of yourself and cherish yourself..."

Gao Yue had already gone a long way in the bullock cart, but when he turned around, he could still see Grandma standing in front of the bamboo gate and waving at him.At that moment, he thought of the phrase "a child travels thousands of miles, mother worries", and for a moment he missed his own mother a little bit.I don't know what happened to her outside the book now.

Da Lang drove the ox cart out of the village, walked up an official road, and asked, "Is it true that you said you were going to find my brother?"

Gao Yue said: "I have this idea, but I'm not sure if I can find it. Anyway, I'm traveling around without any purpose. If your brother really goes to Gucheng, I can go there to have a look. By the way, what's his name? "

"It's called Zhu Erlang." Da Lang said, "My family name is Zhu, Zhuyu's Zhu."

"Oh, this surname is so rare."

"Well, my family has a genealogy, and there was a king of medicine in my ancestors, but when I come here, I can't read a few big characters, so it's really down." Zhu Dalang sighed, and said: "If you really want to go to Gucheng, I'll go directly Take you to the pier in the county seat, where you can take a boat, and it is more convenient to travel by water than by road."

"Alright." Gao Yue thought for a while, in his current situation, he also felt that it was easier to hide by boat than on land.After all, there are far fewer checkpoints on the water than on land.

He came out for a day and a night, and he didn't know how the man in the palace was doing now.

The one in the palace?Of course he was going crazy!

The night before yesterday, Taoist Chi Yun bid farewell to the emperor and the empress dowager. Before he could leave the gate of the palace, he was caught up by Eunuch Hu who was beside the emperor and called out urgently.At that time, Eunuch Hu was so anxious that Chi Yundao had question marks all over his head.But no matter how he asked, Eunuch Hu stared at him all the way, without telling him a word.After meeting the emperor and the empress dowager, Taoist Chi Yun saw a white dove on the emperor's shoulder, and guessed that there might be some kind of secret report. When he asked again, the secret report turned out to be that Mr. Gao was missing in Chiyun Temple That's it - this time, Taoist Chi Yun's head full of question marks immediately turned into sweat and rained down on his forehead! ! !

It's normal for Taoist Chi Yun to be nervous. Who told him to take Gao Yue to the east to answer the robbery in front of the emperor and was rejected. Gao Yue disappeared in the Chiyun Temple on his hind legs!If it had nothing to do with him, even a fool wouldn't believe it!

But in fact, Gao Yue's disappearance really has nothing to do with him!

The problem is, the emperor has to be trusted!

Faced with the emperor's cloudy face covered with lightning and thunder, the Taoist priest Chi Yun hurriedly said: "The poor way has a way to find Gao Shijun!"

"Say!" Zhou Feiqi suppressed his anger and said concisely.

Daoist Chiyun: "Pindao can use the compass to deduce the whereabouts of Gao Shijun. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for a few days. Pindao will definitely return Gao Shijun completely!"

"How many days?" Judging from the tone, Zhou Feiqi didn't have much patience at the moment.

Three - Daoist Chi Yun wanted to talk about three days, but then he thought about it, what if Gao Shijun ran too far in three days and he didn't have time to catch up?So, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Seven days. After the ritual is done, the poor will definitely find Gao Shijun!"

Zhou Feiqi snorted coldly: "I hope the Taoist priest will do what he says."

"Pin Dao will do his best."

That night, Chi Yunzi left the palace, and before he could return to the Chiyun Temple, he followed the guidance on the compass and led a group of royal guards to gallop eastward on horseback.

They didn't dare to delay at all on the road. They traveled day and night, crossed mountains and ridges, and finally entered Baxian Mountain after chasing for a day and a night.The nineteen peaks here are connected, although they are not high, but they are long and majestic, and they are also very spectacular.A white river meanders through the Baxian Mountain, and Chi Yunzi leads a team of guards to track along the river bed, and finally gets into the forest where Gao Yue once entered.

When they found the old tree that Gao Yue had climbed, dug up the bag that Gao Yue had buried, and when they opened the bag and saw the torn and tattered clothes, their hearts were instantly broken. It was half cold.

"This..." Some of the guards were shocked when they saw that piece of clothing, and said, "I'm afraid the servant has been hijacked!"

Daoist Chi Yun's expression was also very bad. The clothes were tightly held in his hands. He looked at the compass carefully again. At this time, the pointer on the compass had pointed to another direction. He didn't answer the guards. Instead, he waved in the direction of the pointer and said, "Go this way!"

A group of people led the horses in a hurry, and followed Taoist Chi Yun through the woods and onto a trail.This trail is naturally the road leading to Grandma's house.On the path, everyone got on their horses and arrived at the small village not long after.

At this time, the sun is rising.The midsummer sun dazzled people's eyes, shining on the bodyguards in red vermilion armor, a layer of blood-like flashes fainted.Many officers and soldiers had never visited this small village. As soon as Daoist Chi Yun and his team entered the village, people from every household couldn't help but hide behind the fence and watch.

The first few of the guards shouted: "Where is the village chief? Come out and be questioned!"

Not long after, a tall, thin middle-aged man came out of a farmyard. He saluted and replied loudly: "Village chief Li Zi is here, what's the matter, my lords?"

Seeing him coming out, Daoist Chi Yun and all the guards rode their horses and surrounded him.Taoist chief Chiyun got off his horse, greeted each other with Li Zi, the village head, and said: "Village chief Li, Pindao is the master of Chiyun Temple, and he is looking for someone by the emperor's order." He took out a portrait, which was Gao Yue's bust.

"Village Chief Li, have you seen this person?" Chi Yun asked.

The village chief shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before." He added, "Our village is remote, and outsiders don't come in for ten days and a half months. That is to say, during the holidays, when the villagers visit relatives and friends, some people will come. , but most of them are familiar faces, if a handsome young man like the one in the portrait comes to our village, once he meets him, he will definitely be impressed."

"Hiss," Taoist Chi Yun sighed, and couldn't help but look at the compass again, seeing that the pointer had changed direction again, pointing to the southeast.Daoist Chiyun didn't dare to delay any longer, got on his horse and said, "Please trouble the village chief to pay attention to it. If there is any news, you can send someone to Chiyun Temple to deliver the letter within seven days."

The village head responded, seeing the group of people getting on their horses again, he still took a few steps on the ground to see them off.

Seeing that the guards had left, the villagers went out of the courtyard and surrounded the village chief to ask questions like a lively crowd.

The village head said: "I just want to ask if there is a beautiful young man who has been to our village in the past few days. If you see it later, please report it to me." He didn't think much when he said this, but the crowd Some people listen and think a lot.As soon as the village chief finished speaking, someone immediately shouted: "Why not?!! The old Zhu's family at the entrance of the village yesterday clearly came to a young man who is as beautiful as a fairy!!"

The person who said this was naturally Qi Er.He met Gao Yue last night, and he can't forget it until now. When he heard it now, he immediately remembered it again.The village chief was shocked when he heard this, thinking that the Taoist priest just said clearly that he was looking for someone under the emperor's order, and if he found someone, it would be the one who came to Lao Zhu's house yesterday, and he just said No, wouldn't that be equivalent to deceiving the saints? !This is a great sin!

No, you have to fix it quickly!Village head Li grabbed Qi Er and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier! Oh, this is a big deal! You go to Lao Zhu's house to watch him, and I'll go after those officials!" After speaking, he went into the yard He took out a mule, and he just got on and ran away, regardless of the pedals.

Behind him, Qier jumped and shouted: "Village Chief, what happened?!"

The village chief turned around and shouted: "Look out!"

Daoist Chi Yun and others rode fast, and Village Chief Li's mule must have been much slower. Fortunately, he chased it in time and with a loud enough voice. After chasing for about five miles, he finally saw the mule in front of him. In front of a guard team preparing to climb over a hillside, he opened his voice and shouted: "Master! All the officials! There is news!!"

This sound immediately caused everyone in front of the hillside to look sideways. When Chi Yunzi saw him, he rushed up to him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Village head Li knelt down as he got off his mule, repenting as he knelt, and said: "I didn't check. After the Taoist chief left, I found out that there was indeed a young man in the village who went to Lao Zhu's house at the head of the village yesterday. It is said that he is as beautiful as a fairy. The villain is anxious." I’m here to tell everyone that I haven’t had time to confirm whether that person is the person in the portrait you’re looking for.”

"Oh? Is that person still in your village?" Chi Yunzi asked while looking at the compass.The compass is based on Gao Yue's birthday horoscope, and the needle is still pointing to the southeast at this moment, and there is no tendency to turn around.

"No one left the village in the morning, so they should still be there." Village head Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to speak too harshly to avoid taking responsibility.

Chi Yunzi looked at the compass again, the pointer trembled slightly at this moment, he thought it was a deduction, how could it compare with the facts?So, he stopped struggling and said, "Lead the way, we will go back to the village with you."

At this moment, Lao Zhu's house was blocked by a bastard, Qier, and a few idlers from the village.Grandma was so angry that she beat him with a broom, and he yelled while hiding: "Grandmother, believe it or not, yesterday's opponent is a criminal wanted by the court! Hand him over quickly, or the officers and soldiers will come soon, and you will see me! Ouch!" , don't hit me!"

"Bah, you bastard! Which eye of yours is going to commit a crime? He is a serious scholar! He has a very good heart! Stop slandering good people here!"

The rest of the boys didn't want to really fight with this grandma, but seeing that Qier was being beaten, they couldn't help but watch, so they went up to persuade and pull.All of a sudden, the small courtyard of the Zhu family was full of chaos, and all the neighbors on the left and right were attracted to watch. When there were too many people, it was inevitable that some people would find out why the Zhu family's Dalang was not at home?

The crowd was talking about it, and there was a sound of horseshoes, but it was Taoist Chi Yun and others and the village chief who rushed back.

On July [-], when he saw that the village chief had brought in reinforcements, he immediately gained confidence. He grabbed the broom that Grandma was waving, turned around and shouted at the village chief and the others: "My lords, this old woman is the one who hides and wants to commit crimes!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Little bastard, I'll teach you a lesson for your mother!" Grandma withdrew her broom forcefully, but unfortunately she was no match for the young man when she was stronger than an old woman.

Daoist Chi Yun didn't come to bully the common people, he frowned when he saw Qi Er's behavior, and shouted: "Don't hurt the old man! Stop!"

"You old man—"

"Shut up!" the village head scolded, cut off the arrogant words that Qi Er was trying to utter, and quickly turned around to accompany Taoist Chi Yun, "The young people in the village are ignorant, so don't blame the Taoist."

Daoist Chiyun waved his hand, walked up to Granny in a few steps, and said kindly: "Old man, Pindao is the master of Chiyun Temple in Beishan, Pingjing. I heard that a young master came to your house yesterday. Could you invite him to come out and talk to you?" See you in poverty?"

"What do you want to do?" Grandma was bluffed by the words before Qi Er, and her vigilance increased many times. She was afraid that these people would harm Gao Yue, and said loudly: "Mr. Chen is a serious scholar! And he is kind-hearted, absolutely Nothing to do!"

"Mr. Chen?" Daoist Chi Yun exchanged glances with several guards behind him with doubts on his face. One of the guards took out a portrait and handed it to him. He unfolded the portrait and held it up to grandma and asked, "Look, is This person?"

Grandma looked at it twice, nodded, and asked again: "Why do you have a portrait of Mr. Chen? Who are you? Why are you looking for him?"

Seeing her nodding, everyone felt relieved, with a gratified smile on their faces, thinking in unison: Finally, we have found someone!However, why did Gao Shijun say that his surname is Chen?Also, did he escape from the robbers?

Daoist Chi Yun said: "To tell you the truth, this is a nobleman in Beijing. He was accidentally robbed the day before yesterday. We are here to rescue him."

Grandma stared at him suspiciously. For some reason, she looked at the kind smile on Taoist Chi Yun's face. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was false. She raised her guard to another level and said, "He left last night. You guys came late." Already!"

"Impossible! Didn't he just sleep in the house when I was drinking at your house last night?" Qi Er said.

"Hmph," Grandma glared at him, "You still have the nerve to talk about this? If you hadn't stared at him all night, would he have been so frightened that he drove all night? It's all your fault, you unruly rascal!"

"I—hey, I—" Qier choked, rolled up his sleeves angrily, and stared, looking very scary.However, the village head saw that the guards present, including the Taoist chief, after hearing the words 'Qi Er stared at people all night', their complexions changed one after another, and even the eyes that looked at Qi Er were wrong—the village head hurriedly yelled Qi Er gave a sound, Qi Er still knew how to be afraid, so he honestly retreated to the side.

Daoist Chi Yun didn't care about Qi Er's rudeness to Gao Yue at the moment. When he heard that Gao Yue had left, he was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked Grandma: "He left? Did he say where he went?"

Grandma shook her head.

At this time, the guard next to Chi Yunzi whispered to his ear and said, "Search...", Chi Yunzi nodded, and said to Grandma: "Old man, what you say is unfounded, we have to check it out, and offend him." gone."

After he finished speaking, the guards began to search.

Grandma was a little angry, and she wanted to say something but was pulled by the village chief and held back.

After a search, there was naturally no sign of Gao Yue.Chi Yunzi had no choice but to look down at the compass again, and was shocked when he saw it, because the pointer that was pointing to the southeast just now was pointing to the northeast. Quick transfer.

Chi Yunzi thought that Gao Yue might encounter the previous robbers when he left here overnight, and felt his hairs explode.While calling everyone to get on their horses and prepare to set off again, he told the village head to keep an eye on this grandma's house, and if Gao Yue came back, he must notify as soon as possible.For this reason, he specially left two guards here to guard.

The guards communicated with each other with carrier pigeons. If Gao Yue came back and needed to deliver letters, it would be much faster than the village chief riding a mule.

Taoist Chi Yun and a group of guards rushed to the northeast to pursue Gao Yue.At this time, Gao Yue, with the help of the boss of the Zhu family, boarded the boat from the pier in the county seat and drifted in the direction of Gucheng.

Speaking of which, Taoist Chi Yun's deduction of the compass is actually quite accurate.However, no one would have guessed that Gao Yue changed from land to water in just half a day. It can only be said that our plan to dodge the pursuers is still very effective.

Standing on the deck of this big ship, Gao Yue looked at the rapidly receding mountains on both sides, thinking that Zhou Feiqi would not embarrass Liang Xiao, right?Alas, one of Gao Yue's biggest worries about this escape was that Liang Xiao would be implicated and punished.

If Gao Yue knew that Liang Xiao hadn't had time to return to the palace these days, I'm afraid he would have another feeling in his heart.

It takes about four hours to take a boat from the wharf in Zhu's county to Gucheng.Gao Yue set off in the morning and arrived at Gucheng Wharf before evening.

This Gu city is worthy of being the number one water city along the coast of the East China Sea. Although there is an endless stream of ships, there is no decrease in the number of ships docking at the pier.Most of these ships are cargo ships. It is said that one-third of them come from a foreign country called Thousand Islands. This country is not difficult to guess from the name. It is a country with many islands. Because of the scarcity of land, it is conceivable that most of the supplies must be All kinds of trade are needed to support it.

Gao Yue walked through the bustling crowd from the pier, and heard people talking about a topic in Qiandao Kingdom—this time, the elder brother sent by Qiandao Kingdom to Dazhou to participate in the draft is said to be the number one beauty in their country, named Bai Yuming noise.What's interesting is that this beauty said last year that she would never marry General Zhendong in this life. She never thought that after only one year, she would be sent to the palace to marry the emperor...

Gao Yue walked and listened to all kinds of discussions around her, thinking that Zhou Feiqi is a very beautiful guy, but it's a pity that he seems to be a master who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, alas, I don't know if this beauty can accept that monster surnamed Zhou!

Gucheng Wharf occupies a large area, and there are several exits. Gao Yue saw people queuing up for registration and interrogation at each exit. Although he didn't know the reason, he became more vigilant.Thinking about his current situation, he didn't dare to move forward, and walked away as if nothing had happened. It seemed that he was strolling in the pier, but he was actually observing the situation.Finally, after walking around, he found an exit that seemed to be forgotten. Not only was there no one going in or out, but no one was guarding it, he was overjoyed immediately.

Gao Yue quickened her pace and walked towards the unmanned exit. Seeing that there was a bustling street outside, everything was normal, so she rushed out in one breath.After getting out of the dock smoothly, Gao Yue breathed a sigh of relief. After all the tossing, the western sky was covered with sunset.

Fortunately, there is an inn street outside this exit, and Gao Yue was indeed a little tired. After walking for a while on the street, he chose an inconspicuous shop, went in and scanned it, and saw that it was clean, so he was ready to stay and sleep. .

There was a guy standing behind the counter, and when he saw Gao Yue coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and said, "Does the guest officer want to stay in the shop? How many people are there?"

Gao Yue said: "One, come to the upper room."

Somehow, a light flashed in the guy's eyes after he said this, and then he rubbed his hands and laughed and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, guest officer, all the rooms in our store are booked out, and the general election is about to happen recently, and many places will give away elections." Cainu and Langgeer all came to Gucheng by water. This place is close to Pingjing, and there are Zhendong Army stationed here. The law and order is the best. The families of those beauties want to send their children off at the end. Followed to Gucheng. I'm afraid these days, the houses on our street are not easy to decide." Xiaoer seemed to be a talkative person, and he talked a lot with his small mouth, seeing that Gao Yue could hear it straight Frowning, he hurriedly said, "However, if you only want to live in a room, you can also go to Ping'an Avenue. There is our main store there, and there should be spare rooms."

"Is it convenient to show me the way?" Gao Yue asked with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "If you are objective, you will plan to stay in our hotel. You may pay a deposit first, and Xiao Er can arrange someone to take you there."

"Alright," Gao Yue took out a broken piece of silver, threw it to him, and said, "Is this enough for a few days?"

"It's enough for three days, three days!" Xiaoer caught it quickly, rolled his eyes with a smile, and said, "I'll send you a note, please wait a moment." He shouted inside while writing: "Zhuer, here There is a guest officer, you take it to the main store!" He bit the 'one' a bit hard.

Gao Yue heard a boy in the back hall answer "Okay!", opened the curtain and ran out in a hurry.

The name 'Zhu Er' made Gao Yue a little concerned. He looked at the young man carefully, and saw that he was fairly handsome, and he didn't match Zhu Dalang's dark and rough style at all, so he kept his composure and prepared to investigate later on the road. one time.

The young man named Zhu Er raised his eyebrows when he saw Gao Yue, his eyes flashed a strange light, but the moment was too fast, if Gao Yue hadn't been observing him all the time, he might not have caught it at all.

An uncomfortable feeling rose in Gao Yue's heart, and she wanted to change her guide. Then she remembered how her grandmother had taken care of her before, and thought that if she could help her find her son, even if she brought a message back, the old mother would surely He would be very happy, so he suppressed the discomfort.

At this time, Zhu Er was already smiling, looking kind and amiable.Gao Yue suppressed the little unhappiness in her heart, and said to Zhu Er: "Lead the way."
