Chapter 25 Volume 1 End

The mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, and there was no one to carry the juniper, so naturally it was difficult to walk, the envoy couldn't wait for him, so he climbed up quickly, and after a while, he fell behind them by a certain distance.

Shu Yin waited for the talents to reach the middle of the mountain, when they suddenly heard someone behind him shouting, "No! No! Prince Qi has defected!" Everyone was shocked, they all stopped and turned to look.I saw a little soldier coming out of the crowd, sweating profusely when he ran past Shu Yin and the others, he accidentally fell into a big somersault under his feet, but he didn't have time to cry out the pain, so he got up and went to respect The mission went.The envoy led the people away quickly, but he didn't hear clearly. He just stood up and looked this way. When the little soldier ran close, he heard that Zhu Wenran's carriage was running in the opposite direction of Yu Huancheng. He was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat You must know that if the enemy's hostage escapes in your hands, let alone the official position, you may lose your property and life.So he immediately shouted and led people to chase, leaving only a team of people beside Shu Hui.

When Shu Yin heard that Zhu Wenran had defected, he was surprised and surprised, scared and sad. What surprised him was that he had the guts to do such a thing. What was surprising was that he hadn't noticed any signs before, and what scared him was that if he was caught I don't know what will happen when I come back. The sad thing is that he will really flee the country, fearing that he will never have the chance to meet him again in this life.For a while, several thoughts came to my mind, but Jiao Shuyin stood there stupidly, staring at the direction where the envoy and others were going.

Dong Shi, Wu Shuang and the rest of the followers were also shocked.Only Shu Hui and Pei Yin didn't talk about each other, Shu Hui stopped the crowd and went up the mountain again.Shu Yin was only thinking about Zhu Wenran, but he didn't care about other things, and he didn't hold the juniper anymore. He seemed to be in a daze, and his legs were numb and he followed the crowd.

The envoy and others chased to the only way to return to the city, and saw a lot of people standing at the intersection in the distance. They raised their whips and rushed forward, and found that most of them were servants of Dong's mansion, or they were tied with their hands cut behind their backs, or Some squatted and covered their heads with their hands, and some quarreled with the soldiers.The envoy vaguely felt that something was different, so he hurriedly got off his horse and asked a few followers who stayed behind what was going on.The entourage replied, "The servants of the Dong Mansion have captured all the servants except Luo An, the chief executive." The envoy glanced at the several servants around him, and they seemed to be ignorant when they met, so he asked, "Are these people resisting?" The entourage said, "All obeyed, and there was no resistance." He asked where Zhu Wenran was?Answer, "At this point, Luo An suddenly turned the carriage and rushed towards the east. Prince Qi is in the carriage, and the younger one has already sent someone to chase him." At this point, the envoy came to his senses and shouted, " Not good!" He hurriedly got on his horse and shouted, "Follow me up the mountain!" Then he flicked his whip and rushed towards Tailing Mountain.

Shu Yin lost his mind and accompanied him all the way, only feeling tired physically and mentally, and wanted to find a place to rest.Seeing an old pine tree with cracked roots not far ahead, he said, "Father, I think you are tired after climbing all the way, why don't we take a rest here." nodded.Shu Yin took the water bag from his entourage and stood on the high ground under the pine tree to drink.Seeing him staring down the mountain in a daze, Shu Hui coughed and winked at Pei Yin.Pei Yin helped Shu Yin up, and called Shu Yin again, "Master, I forgot what I said to you just now?" Shu Yin was about to ask what he meant, but saw a few black shadows suddenly swishing down from the old pine tree, I saw more than a dozen people flying out from under the stone here, and a few more people came out there... After a while, Shu Yin and his group were surrounded.I saw these people holding knives in their hands, each with a black scarf wrapped around his face, and his exposed eyes were staring coldly at Shu Yin and the others.The entourage sent by the court only said that they encountered robbers, so they quickly gathered to protect them.Dong Shi and Wu Shuang huddled together in fright and hid behind them, Shu Yin was about to ask a question, but Shu Hui ordered in a cold voice, "Do it!"

For a moment, I saw swords, lights and blood in front of my eyes, and the figures were moving around, but I didn't feel the sound.Shu Yin had never seen such a situation before, and he was completely defenseless, and Zhu Wenran was already distracted by his affairs. At this moment, he felt that the world was spinning, his feet were unsteady, and he let others pull him away.

When the envoy and other talents arrived at Tailing Mountain, they heard the sound of fighting in the mountain, so they led the people up the mountain quickly. When they reached the mountainside, they saw shadows of people with swords, dead bodies hanging on stones and trees, and several pairs of people fighting inseparably. Abandon.The envoy immediately ordered, "Arrest all these traitors!" He waved his hands and ordered people to surround Shu Hui's inner circle.Because they were outnumbered, within a short time, all the insiders were captured and forced to kneel on the ground by their shoulders.The envoy searched for Shu Hui and the others, so he knew that he had escaped in the chaos. He was anxious and afraid at the moment, and didn't know how to explain to Shao Jun when he went back.The envoy pulled out his sword from the scabbard, pointed at the throat of one of the people inside, and said angrily, "Tell me, where did that dog thief go! Tell me, and I will spare you!" After speaking, he glared angrily again Depending on the internal response.He should cover his face with a black scarf, and he didn't know what his expression was at the moment, he saw his neck move, and he stretched out towards the long sword.The envoy didn't have time to draw the sword, and watched the man committing suicide in front of his eyes. He took a step back in fright, and was taken aback for a moment. Then, he looked at the other insiders, and they all looked up at him. The envoy became furious, and went forward to pick off the insiders himself. He took off his mask, and was shocked again, it turned out that none of these people showed any fear on their faces, but a mocking and mocking attitude.The envoy clenched the hilt of the sword tightly and shouted, "Leave three people and send them back, and the rest will all be executed on the spot!" As soon as the order was given, only the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh was heard, and no screams of panic were heard.

Shu Yin was dragged by someone for more than ten miles before he came back to his senses. He saw that he was in the crevice of a ravine. Dong Shi and Wu Shuang also ran towards this side protected by a man in black.Shu Yin recalled the situation just now, and couldn't remember what happened for a while.

I don't know how long after I ran, the slit suddenly opened up, and I heard Pei Yin shout, "It's convenient to go ahead!" Then he ran out with Shu Yin and others in one go.Just out of the slit, I saw a small stream lying in the valley, dividing a mountain into two halves.Pei Yin let them go, ran to the stream alone, put his fingers on his lips, and made a long and sharp whistle, as if he wanted to pierce the valley.Shu Yin was sitting on the ground panting for breath, when he was stabbed by the whistle, he recalled his doubts and hurriedly asked Shu Hui, "Father, what happened?"

Shu Hui lay down on a big rock with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes after listening to Shu Yin's question, and said slowly, "Yin'er, from now on you are no longer a prisoner of the gangster country, the grandson of Dong Qu, but me. The subjects of the Yue Kingdom are the sons of the current crown prince, you must keep this identity in mind."

Shu Yin was taken aback for a moment, carefully savored the words, seemed to have realized something but couldn't explain clearly, and only asked Shu Hui, "Father, where are we going?" Then he said, "I want to honor them The gang of thieves have been subdued, let's go back quickly."

Although Shu Hui was in a hurry, he was calm when he arrived here. At this moment, when he heard Shu's quotation, he immediately cursed angrily, "Useless thing! What a useless thing..." After saying that, he coughed repeatedly .Shu Yinquan didn't realize that what he said violated Shu Hui's taboo, at the moment he only complained in his heart, not knowing what to do with scolding people.

At this time, I heard the sound of oars in the stream, I saw a small boat with a black awning hidden from a corner of the cliff, and I saw Pei Yin waving at them from the bank, and looking behind me, Wu Shuang and the others were also panting heavily Qi arrived.The man in black walked straight to Shu Yin, and he didn't look at him when he was beside him. He just took off his mask, held the black scarf in his hands, folded his fists and kowtowed to Shu Hui, and only listened to him saying, "Little Hu Zhan, On the order of the prime minister, come to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shu Yin was startled, then looked at Shu Hui, and saw that he was still leaning on the rock, with no surprise on his face, and said, "Get up, just now you covered us to leave, it is considered meritorious service."

Hu Zhan still bowed his head and said, "Don't dare."

Shu Hui glanced at him and asked, "What position do you hold in the court now?"

Hu Zhandao, "The young one works under the prime minister's door, and has no position in the court."

Shu Hinoki nodded.

Shu introduced that Shu Hui was supported by Hu Zhan and went towards the stream, while Gong Peiyin was already standing on the rowed boat and waiting.Shu recalled what Shu Hui said just now, and combined with the current situation, the feeling of indistinctness in his heart became clearer. Although he didn't know the plan of Shu Hui and Gong Peiyin, he also guessed that it was to flee back to Yue.Once he knew the truth of the matter, Shu Yin suddenly became nervous, watching the wooden boat floating on the stream but not approaching.

Dong Shi and Wu Shuang rested for a while, supporting each other towards this side.Shu Yin held Dong's hand with both hands, and said anxiously, "Mother, we can't go there, they are going to..."

Dong didn't wait for him to finish, "Yin'er, don't talk too much, just go with your father."

Shu Yin grabbed Dong's hand tightly and asked, "Mother, do you know what they are doing!"

Seeing his widened eyes, with a puzzled and anxious expression on his face, Mrs. Dong lightly held his hand and nodded.

Shu Yin took two steps back, her hands were hanging by her sides, she stopped for a moment before raising her head, looking at Wushuang, who lowered her head.Shu Yin went over and took her hand, and said, "My father is about to defect to the Mang Kingdom. The fate of this trip is uncertain. If he fails to escape and is arrested, Shao Renjun will definitely punish us. You are the princess of the Mang Kingdom. There's no point in taking risks with us." He said again, "Although you and I have the name of husband and wife, we don't have the reality of husband and wife, and you are really wronged if you follow me, even if you follow me to the country of Yue, I'm afraid that in the future, people will criticize and fall into trouble. handle."

Wu Shuang couldn't help shedding tears after hearing this, looked up at Shu Yin and said, "You teach me now, where can I go? You said that I am a princess of the country, but I married into your family by myself. It is no longer this status. You are so kind that if I follow you, Shao Renjun will punish me, but will he not punish me if I leave you? My husband, my father-in-law, Your whole family defected to the rogue country, leaving me alone, and you taught me how to gain a foothold in the rogue country!" Wu Shuang just talked, forgot to wipe her tears, and let the tears roll down, only listening to her mournful , and choked up again, "I'm an upright person, why should I be afraid of being slandered behind my back, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's because you have a guilty conscience, and you're worried about being criticized and being blamed!"

Shu Yin really didn't have that in mind, he was only thinking about Wu Shuang, but he didn't expect to be so wronged by her, he felt sad and sad, so he didn't try to persuade him right now, he just said, "I won't defend myself, as long as you don't regret it in the future. "

Wu Shuang wiped away her tears and said, "How can you tell me to regret it?"

Shu Yin sighed, and took Dong Shi and Wu Shuang to the stream.

The wooden boat just accommodated these people, and a canopy was tied up with straw mats in the boat, and food was placed for people to shelter from the rain and rest.Shu Hui sat in the tent, Dong and Wushuangxi sat outside the tent, Gong Peiyin and Hu Zhan stood at the bow and talked, and Shu led one to sit at the stern.The boatman on the boat was an elderly man with gray hair and a few thin beards, but the thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man who started the attack, they didn't talk much, they only answered two words carefully when Shu Hui was waiting for questions. sentence.

Walking along the water, the boat sailed fast, like falling leaves slipping by.Shu Yin sat at the stern of the boat and drifted along with the boat. In the past few days, he has seen many kinds of scenery on both sides of the river. Sometimes there are strange rocks, sometimes plum blossoms suppressed by the cold, and sometimes wild peaches and pears all over the mountain. Wherever he arrived, there was a lake of green lotus. The lotus hadn't bloomed yet, only the blue lotus leaves spread out in the water, filling a pool, and the boat passed through it, and the leaves made rattling noises on the hull of the boat.For a few days of melancholy, all I could think about was the various things in the country, the mischievousness of my childhood, Dong Qu's fierceness, Xie Lan's care, Zhu Dian's teasing... and the one I can't forget is naturally Zhu Wenran.At the beginning, I thought it was Wen Ran who left me first, but now I realized that I was the one who left first, but no matter who left first, the sadness of not seeing each other again is the same.Shu Yin put his hands behind his head, lying on the boat in the open air, looking at the sky full of stars and a bright moon, he couldn't help sighing secretly.

In the middle of the night, the boatman went to sleep, and a young man took care of the boat.It is too late to row a boat at night, and the boat floats on the water by itself.Sitting on the bow of the boat, the boy hummed a song softly as he watched the night was peaceful.Shu Yin was not asleep at all, but suddenly heard the singing and woke up, listened carefully to the voice, it was soft and soft, it was a boy's voice again, melodious and fresh, Shu Yin couldn't help getting up, and walked from the stern to the bow.

The young man didn't know who was leading him behind him, but he still beat the water with his oar and hummed a song.

Shu Yin asked, "Where did you sing the ballad?"

The young man jumped up and almost dropped the paddle board into the water by mistake, he quickly stood up and apologized to Shu Yin.Shu Yin sat down against the bow of the boat, didn't blame him, and asked, "Why don't you sing anymore?" The young man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and replied timidly, "I'm afraid I might wake everyone up." Shu Yin shot He patted the seat next to him and said with a light smile, "Sit here and sing to me softly." The young man didn't dare to disobey, so he had to sit over.But this time it was sung differently.It turned out that the young man was next to Shu Yin, and when he was nervous for a while, his singing was no longer light and easy. He sang intermittently for a while, but he didn't listen to Shu Yin's call to stop, and the young man didn't dare to stop. look at yourself.The boy turned his head in fright, and didn't dare to look to the side anymore.

Shu Yin suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The young man knew he was asking himself, and inserted a line "Sufa" in the song.Then Shu Yin shouted to stop, "Stop singing, come talk with me."

Su Fa quickly stopped speaking.

Shu introduced that he lowered his head, tightened his hands on his knees, sometimes bit his lips and sometimes blinked, the moonlight fell on him, making him seem to be shining.Shu Yin sighed, "You remind me of someone."

Su Fa was curious and couldn't help but look back at Shu Yin.Shu Yin lowered her eyes and said silently, "He also often has this look, so..." He stopped before finishing speaking, trying his best to recall all the details of Wen Ran, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken for a while.

Seeing Shu Yin holding his chest and frowning, Su Fa became afraid, and asked cautiously, "Master, are you hungry, I'll go get you something."

Shu Yin laughed desolately, and said, "Go get some lotus root tips."

After wandering on the boat for half a month, I finally saw a family on the shore.Hu Zhan replied to Shu Hui, "Your Highness, this place is already at the junction of Youhuan and Jizhou, and the prime minister's response is on the shore."

Because Su Fa got acquainted with Shu Yin, he talked more than before, seeing that he was about to arrive at the door of his house, he became more and more happy, and went around Shu Yin and said that he would invite him to the house as a guest.Shu Yin patted his head, and asked with a smile, "Does your house have delicious treats? Otherwise, I won't go." Su Fa said, "Grandpa raised two chickens, as long as no one steals them for half a month, When I go back, I will kill and eat with the young master."

When they got to the shore, Hu Zhan gave Su Fa's grandfather and grandson another ingot of silver, and told him not to tell anyone about it.The two thanked each other and went.Su Fa turned his head several times along the way, and Shu Yin knew it was a matter of being a guest, but he didn't dare to mention it in front of Shu Hui, and could only watch Su Fa leave with guilt.

Hu Zhan led a few people along the river. Although there were people here, it was still a barren land. After walking for half a day, they met two people. Both of them had their hair tied up with white ropes, and they were dressed in civilian clothes. .Hu Zhan bowed his hands to the two of them, then stepped aside, revealing Shu Hui and the others.The expressions of the two of them changed, they knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Welcome Your Highness the Prince!" It turned out that these two were the guards of Zhen Sibo's residence Yang Shi and Zhu Xiu.Shu Hui excused the ceremony from the two, called Shu Yin to come forward, and said, "This is my son Shu Yin, you should take good care of him from now on." He introduced Dong Shi and Shao Wushuang one by one.Shu Hui called Gong Peiyin to come forward, Pei Yin bowed his hands to Yang and Zhu before he was about to speak, but he heard Shu Hui beside him sternly shouted, "Tie him up and bring him back to the court for interrogation!"

Gong Peiyin and the other four were all startled, and before they could ask questions, they cut their hands behind their backs and pushed them away.
