Traitor, he is bent on death

After eating, Jiang Jintang took out a handful of broken silver from his purse and put it on the table, and said softly, "I'm bothering you two, be careful, please accept it."

Orion never saw so much money all year long, so how could he dare to accept it? He hurriedly said, "It's just a few steamed buns, how much is it worth!"

Jiang Jintang said: "No matter how much the steamed buns are worth, if you are willing to help us, we should thank you and please accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

The husband and wife looked at each other, and Orion still accepted the money.

Xuan Lan asked Orion for wound medicine. First, he rubbed the blood on Jiang Jintang's ankle with medicinal wine, then applied the wound medicine and bandaged it. Jiang Jintang's face turned pale, but he held back and didn't scream, probably because he felt ashamed that there was an outsider there.

Orion took the money, very embarrassed, and said earnestly: "The two of you stay for lunch? The wild game I hunted back yesterday has not had time to sell, it just happened to be stewed..."

"No need." Jiang Jintang refused, "We still have something to do, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. Please ask me, how long will it take to get to Huazhou?"

"It's about half a day's drive away." Orion said, "I've only been there once. If I take a donkey cart or a horse cart, it should be much faster."

Jiang Jintang thanked him, got up and was about to leave, but Xuan Lan said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any clean clothes here? I'll buy a set for you."

"There are some." The woman said hurriedly, "They are all linen clothes, how can I collect money from you!"

She opened the cabinet, took out a set of neatly folded clothes, and said, "I made these for my natal brother, and I haven't worn them yet, please take a look."

Xuan Lan opened his eyes and felt that the size was about right. He smiled and put down a piece of silver on the corner of the table, saying, "Thank you."

Orion hurriedly wanted to return the money, Xuan Lan waved his hand: "Take it, buy two new clothes for the child, and he has reached the age of enlightenment, send it to a private school, learn two words, and life will be easier in the future."

After a pause, he still said: "You spend this money in a few days, if someone comes to ask if you have seen us, say no to death, otherwise you will be killed, understand?"

The husband and wife nodded blankly.

Jiang Jintang chuckled beside him: "Why, you have to change your clothes before you are willing to go on your way?"

Xuan Lan said: "Dirty clothes are not comfortable to wear."

Just as Jiang Jintang was about to talk about his young master's temper, Xuan Lan had already stuffed his clothes into his arms and said, "Go and change."

Jiang Jintang was taken aback: "Give it to me?"

"Yeah." Xuan Lan looked up at Hai Dongqing and said, "Hurry up."

Jiang Jintang looked down at the clothes in his hand, and for a moment doubted whether Xuan Lan was really possessed by a ghost.

The clothes were indeed not of good material, but Jiang Jintang felt uncomfortable wearing the outermost clothes, but it was better than wearing dirty clothes. When he walked out, Xuan Lan turned his eyes to look at him.

Orion's cabin has two steps, which are used for waterproofing. Xuan Lan is standing under the steps, and Jiang Jintang is standing on the steps. The eyes of the two are finally at the same level.

Xuan Lan lowered her eyes, rolled up the longer sleeves for Jiang Jintang, and said, "You are too thin."

Before Jiang Jintang could speak, Orion's wife smiled and said, "You two have such a good relationship...are you brothers?"

Xuan Lan raised her eyelashes, trying to smile: "We look like brothers?"

The woman shook her head: "You don't look alike."

"We are not brothers." Xuan Lan tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally came up with a suitable adjective: "We are enemies."

The woman's eyes widened, and then she burst out laughing: "My lord, don't lie to me, how can the enemy have such a good relationship?"

To say that the current emperor and his powerful minister Jiu Qiansui have a good relationship is quite straightforward to show that this mountain village woman does not know what is going on outside the mountains.

Xuan Lan didn't continue to explain, and tugged on Jiang Jintang's sleeve, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Then... let's go, brother?"

Jiang Jintang was stunned by his elder brother's call. When he looked up and saw the face that belonged to Yincai, his heart stopped instantly, and the corners of his lips twitched: "Let's go."

The two bid farewell to the Orion couple and walked out side by side.

"They really don't look like brothers." The woman's voice was weak, with a smile: "If it weren't for two big men, I would think they are husband and wife."

Orion laughed loudly: "What are you thinking about all day long? Two big men, how could they be husband and wife. Okay, okay, I'm going to go into the mountains after I pack up, go and prepare some dry food for me."

……

The two of them were lucky. On the road, they met an old man driving a cart. The cart was pulling a cart of vegetables, which should be going to the city to sell. Xuan Lan spent a few coins and successfully took Jiang Jintang into the cart. .

Jiang Jintang had never ridden in an ox-drawn cart, and Xuan Lan had never ridden in it before. When the two of them traveled together, they would not go out together with the stars and the moon. Not happy.

Jiang Jintang was wearing coarse clothes, mixed with a pile of bean millet, seeing Xuan Lan laughing, Jiang Jintang glanced at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Xuan Lan leaned on the bamboo basket, "I just feel a little miraculous."

"what?"

Xuan Lan didn't answer any more, and looked up at the clouds in the sky. Hai Dongqing had been hovering nearby, replacing the emperor's eyes, patrolling all the movements nearby.

The speed of the ox cart was not fast, and it was only when it was getting dark that we finally saw the city gate of Huazhou. The old man driving the cart looked at the long queue in front of him and wondered, "What's going on today? Why are you still here?" Are you queuing into town?"

Xuan Lan stood up and took a look, frowned and said, "Not good."

"what happened?"

"They're looking for someone." Xuan Lan lowered her voice: "It's really determined to want my life."

Jiang Jintang smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't sleep with Brother Yin. I'm not in good health, so I prefer high beds and soft pillows. I'll go into the city, and Brother Yin can figure out a way to get in."

This person turned his face as soon as he said it, and it was very straightforward. Xuan Lan was not surprised, but said softly: "If I can't get in, you don't want to get in either."

"..." Jiang Jintang said, "Brother Yin, you still need to have a conscience. In all fairness, I was dragged down by you."

"If you really talk about your conscience, if it weren't for you, young master, I would still be lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman in Yangzhou City." Xuan Lan said, "Why is it that I am hunted down and killed now, and I can't even eat a decent meal? "

Jiang Jintang is very good at shirking responsibility: "That's the Qingtian Sect's business."

"Aren't you a member of Qingtian Sect?"

"I've quit teaching." Jiang Jintang sighed, "I just found out that you were wanted."

Xuan Lan: "..."

Xuan Lan said: "I still say the same thing, if I can't get in, you can't get in either."

Jiang Jintang exhorted, "Why do you do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself?"

"It's not good for me." Xuan Lan had reason and evidence: "I am happy when I see you are unhappy."

Jiang Jintang: "..."

The old man looked to the left and then asked, "Are you two still going to the city?"

Xuan Lan said: "Wait a moment, my... brother and I still have something to discuss."

Seeing that he was about to fight, the old man didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurried to the front to chat with others.

"Even if you keep me, I can't bring you into the city." Jiang Jintang said, "We have a bigger goal together."

"Who said there is no other way." Xuan Lan smiled.

……

Seeing that it was getting dark and the city gate was about to be closed, the guard yawned and cursed: "If you want me to say, the person who is going to be arrested is really troublesome. If it wasn't for him, we brothers would need him." So tired?"

"Isn't it?" Another person said: "I've been checking for a whole day, and I haven't seen a single suspicious one. Does it look like a painting?"

"What do you know?" Someone said, "He must have known that he was wanted, so he didn't dare to come to Huazhou! Let me tell you... hey! You, stop, it's you, what are you talking about? ?”

Jiang Jintang stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and said, "If you go back to the official, it's my brother."

"Your brother has a broken leg, and you still lie on the car?" The guard came over aggressively, and said, "What's so shameful, you still need to cover it with clothes?!"

As he spoke, he was about to take off his clothes, but Jiang Jintang hurriedly said, "No, sir!"

The guard's face became more and more suspicious: "Why?"

Jiang Jintang looked around, and said softly: "My brother... died of the plague. He was just dug out of the soil not long ago, and his body is rotten. You should also know that the higher-ups are looking for people who can get the plague recently, right? I I also want that money, otherwise I wouldn't have dug my own brother out of the grave..."

"Shut up!" The guard hurriedly stopped when he heard this: "You can talk nonsense?! If people listen to it, do you still want it?!"

The higher ups were looking for someone who could get the plague, so the guards naturally knew about it, but they didn't expect that this person would actually dig his own brother out of the ground for money, which is really despised.

He gave Jiang Jintang a disgusted look, and used the scabbard to remove some of the clothes covering Xuan Lan's body. Immediately, he smelled a foul smell. His face turned green, and he took a few steps back and waved: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Jiang Jintang groaned, and pushed the cart into the city.

When they arrived at a place with few people, Xuan Lan sat up from the cart and said, "Look, I said I can come in."

Jiang Jintang took a few steps back, kept a safe distance from Xuanlan, and said, "If I were you, I would rather not go into the city."

Xuan Lan wiped the mud off his face, and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things."

"That makes sense." Jiang Jintang agreed, and then stood a little further away: "Don't come near me."

Xuan Lan sniffed himself: "It really smells so bad?"

Jiang Jintang smiled and said nothing.In body language: yes.

The old man hurried over and saw that the cart was still there, he was relieved, he was an ordinary man, how could he have done such a thing, he was afraid that he would be found out by the officials, and he who provided the cart would also suffer.

Jiang Jintang gave him some more money, and the old man hurried away with the cart.

Watching the old man leave, Jiang Jintang turned his head to say something to Xuan Lan, but Xuan Lan was behind him at some point, Jiang Jintang almost ran into his arms, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Xuan Lan supported his waist in time.

Jiang Jintang: "..."

I can't have this waist anymore.
