After passing through the capital, they marched for about half a day.

Although he has dry food, Gu Zheng is still a spoiled child.

The wet nurse comforted me and took a few mouthfuls, and then she would rather be hungry than eat any more.

Xiao Yunjian had no choice but to find a small village and abduct it.

There are no outsiders in the village on weekdays, let alone any inns or restaurants.

Seeing them rushing in so rashly, I was so surprised that even the village chief came out to have a look.

The old village chief wiped his hands, looked at the people's fine clothes with some fear, and tremblingly said: "W-Who are the officials, did we do something wrong?"

Xiao Yunjian hurriedly explained: "Sorry, we are not officials. Only my nephew is young and wants to ask you for a hot meal."

The old village chief stretched his neck and glanced at Gu Zheng, who was like a porcelain doll, blinked his clear and yearning eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Come in quickly, my old lady happened to cook the rice, and it happened to be evenly distributed. One mouthful, baby. It's just you—"

"We don't need to bother." Xiao Yunjian waved his hands, "We just have a mouthful of dry food to deal with."

The old village chief welcomed them in.

But the son and daughter-in-law said: "There is no more food left, so I have to give it to others!"

The village head old man pushed the bowl and chopsticks: "Then I don't want to eat, how many mouthfuls can he eat from you as a baby?"

Xiao Yunjian hurriedly comforted him, and even took out some dry food and jerky he had prepared and handed them to the old village chief: "I'm sorry for your trouble!"

The old village chief glared at his son and daughter-in-law. They shrank their necks and did not dare to ask for the coveted jerky.

The old woman was also a warm-hearted person. Seeing that Ling Zhi was still covered with the cloak, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled it twice, saying, "I don't have to pay so much attention once I enter the house, just take it off."

Before Ling Zhi could react, the brim of his hat was taken off.

Showing that half of the disfigured cheek.

He hurriedly put the hood back on, without saying a word.

The old woman was taken aback, and stood there for a long time, muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Yunjian consoled him, "I'm sorry to scare you. My friend has been wearing a cloak because of this half of his face."

The old woman swayed twice, went into the inner room and did not come out to speak again.

Xiao Yunjian coaxed Gu Zheng to have a meal, and chatted with the village head and old man again, only asking: "Is there any larger villages and towns nearby that can let us settle down?"

The old village head hurriedly went out to show them the way, and said, "There is a town more than 20 miles to the northeast, but it is not too big. The inn is old and the food is not good. But I heard that the village The young people who have been out have said that further away, about 200 miles away, there is a river city, and I heard that the prosperity is not inferior to the capital of the Jiang Kingdom!"

Ling Zhi took a look at the map he brought from Yule Town.

If there is such a city, it is called Hexi.

He nodded towards Xiao Yunjian.

Xiao Yunjian didn't ask any more about this matter, and only chatted a few more words.

After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Yun remonstrated that he would give them money.

But they refused to take it desperately, saying that they were just babies and couldn't eat a few bites of their food.

Xiao Yunjian had no choice but to quietly hide the silver ingot in the flower pot at the door.

After a few days, they can also find out.

Not long after they left, the old woman noticed it while watering the flowers.

The old village chief slapped his thigh, but he couldn't catch up, so he could only sigh: "What a good man!"

This ingot of silver has been their family's food money for several years.

After getting back into the car, Ling Zhi rested for a few hours, and then was about to take Xiao Yunjian's place again.

Xiao Yunjian didn't evade any more, returned to the carriage and started playing with Gu Zheng.

He still said to Ling Zhi, "Go to the town twenty miles away for a night's rest, or go straight to Hexi City?"

"Let's fix it up." Ling Zhi said, "Even if we can endure it, Gu Zheng can't. Besides, this horse is also tired."

When I arrived in the town, I happened to catch up with the waiter from the only inn in the town to pour water.

As soon as he saw them, he rushed up to greet them, and said, "Guests are staying at the hotel?"

Xiao Er kept looking at them, as if looking at their clothes.

He looked into the carriage again, and when he saw a few wooden boxes, an unusual smile could be seen faintly at the corner of his mouth.

Ling Zhi and Xiao Yunjian exchanged glances, and immediately paid more attention to Xiao Er.

Xiaoer made friends with them again with a haha: "Guest officers, where are you from?"

Just as the wet nurse was about to answer, Xiao Yunjian stopped her.

He said: "We came from Hexi City, and we are preparing to go to the capital to visit relatives. Little brother, but do you know that it will take a long time to go to the capital? Sigh, do you know that we have traveled more than 200 miles, and the body It’s almost too much to eat.”

Seeing how light and easy they were, Xiao Er was tricked by himself, he chuckled, and said: "I can see that you must be rich and noble families in Hexi City. It's not too far to go to the capital, so take a good night's sleep , we will arrive tomorrow. I will prepare some hot water, good wine and good food for you first, and you should hurry up and recharge your batteries after you use it up."

Xiao Yunjian cupped his fists: "Thank you."

He didn't chat any more and just went back to the room.

The two horses were taken to the backyard to be fed and rested.

There are three rooms, Ling Zhi and Xiao Yunjian sandwich the nurses in the middle.

The packages and wooden boxes were also placed in Xiao Yunjian's room.

Although the food was freshly fried, but seeing Xiao Er's appearance, no one dared to move their chopsticks.

Even Gu Zheng was coaxed to eat some dry food to satisfy his hunger.

The hot bath took a dip.

It can't be that Xiaoer is still ambushing someone under the barrel.

Xiao Yunjian was really tired, and after drying himself off, he put on his obscene clothes and went to bed.

The soft bed instantly enveloped him, taking away his fatigue.

He kicked the wooden box under the bed, put the bundle inside himself, and closed his eyes.

He didn't sleep deeply, let alone dared to sleep too deeply.

Sure enough, around the second watch, he heard slight footsteps.

And someone lowered his voice and said: "The shopkeeper, this is the one. I have seen with my own eyes that they are richly dressed and their packages are bulging. I am afraid that there are also gold, silver and jewelry in the wooden box."

Xiao Yunjian turned over, did not open his eyes, but slightly raised the corners of his lips.

It was exactly as he expected.

The two tiptoed to his house.

A small hole was poked in the paper pasted on the door, and a pipe protruded in, as if to pour smoke into it.

Xiao Yunjian turned over and got out of bed, and raised his hand to cover the exit of the tube.

And Ling Zhi, who was a room away, also appeared directly behind them.

They didn't even have time to react, and they were completely captured by the two of them.

Ling Zhi found a bundle of hemp rope from Xiaoer's body, and directly tied the two of them to the pillar.

Xiao Yunjian didn't bother to talk to them, he just patted his mouth and yawned.

He said to Ling Zhi, "I'm really sleepy now."

Ling Zhi patted him on the back empty-handedly, and said, "Go to sleep when you're sleepy, I'm here."

Xiao Yunjian nodded, and pulled up the quilt.

Ling Zhi took the two of them back to his room.

It was so exhausting that everyone didn't wake up until after midnight.

As soon as Xiao Yunjian opened his eyes, he saw Ling Zhi lying on the beauty couch in his room——

He was covered with a thin layer of clothing and cloak, curled up with his legs curled up over it.

Didn't sleep well.

Xiao Yunjian rubbed his eyes, only to confirm that it was indeed Ling Zhi.

He grabbed his shoes and got off the bed, but he hadn't reached Ling Zhi yet.

Ling Zhi opened his eyes first, sat up quickly, and explained: "Yun remonstrates with me...the two are locked in my room now, sorry."

Xiao Yunjian breathed a sigh of relief, and simply skipped this topic.

He couldn't tell, if it was uncomfortable to fall asleep on the collapsed bed, he could share the same bed with him next time.

Looking at Ling Zhi who was so submissive for fear of being disgusted by him, he couldn't say anything more serious to poke his heart again.

He had no choice but to let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's good to rest today, we can go straight to Hexi City with all our strength."

Ling Zhi frowned, and said softly, "Okay."

The lunch was cooked by the nursing mother with the dishes from the inn's kitchen. After a few people finally had a mouthful of warm food, they ate some more.

Before leaving, Xiao Yunjian cut off the hemp rope binding the two of them.When he swung the knife, he was so frightened that Xiao Er peed on his pants, crying for mercy.

Xiao Yunjian couldn't help it either, so he could only curse: "If you do something like this in the future, it won't be the imprisonment on your body that will be cut off."

The two swore in a hurry, and then sent the two of them out of the door like a plague god.

The moon sinks and the sun rises.

Finally, in the evening of the second day, they arrived at the Hexi City, which was said to be as prosperous as the capital city.

Hexi City is really beautiful, the streets are spacious, surrounded by merchants and peddlers, very lively.

It seems that there are people coming and going every day, and not many people pay attention to their travels and dust.

Xiao Yunjian didn't directly find an inn to live in, but inquired in the restaurant if there was a big family surnamed Xiao in this place.

He deliberately turned a corner and told others that he was here to vote for relatives.

But the shopkeeper said: "There was a family five years ago, but it moved out long ago."

This caught Xiao Yunjian's heart, he sighed one after another, and said: "That is my cousin. Do you know that his house is still there? Or was it sold to someone else? I grew up under his knees since I was a child. Big, now I miss the past and want to live there again.”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's been five years. There's no reason why it's still there. But I heard that the owner of a house in his back street is eager to sell it. It just so happens that on the rockery in the garden behind the house, you can see the original Everything about the Xiao residence."

Xiao Yunjian pursed his lips, a little confused: "There is a rock garden, but it's extra expensive?"

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said: "Guest officer, I will tell you the whole story. The house belongs to my brother-in-law, and the reason for rushing to sell it is because it is haunted. If it weren't for that, how comfortable it would be to live in such a nice house. "

Xiao Yunjian almost laughed out loud, is it a haunted house again?

This is Ling Zhi's familiarity with the road.

He clasped his hands flatly: "Okay! Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper seemed to be afraid that the ducks in his mouth would fly away, so he immediately made a decision: "If it is feasible, I will treat this meal. After eating, we will go to see if the house is in the eyes of the guests."

Xiao Yunjian had a drink with the shopkeeper, and it was considered a deal.

He didn't expect it to be so easy, and he was a little happy that he drank a few more glasses.

The wet nurse couldn't hold back, but Ling Zhi grabbed his hand and said, "Drink less."

Xiao Yunjian teased him away: "Isn't it more relaxing?"
