"do not talk."
Zhou Yunjia is only fifteen years old this year. He was originally a noble young master in Zhenbei Palace, but after an imperial edict came down, he immediately became a bereaved dog.
If he hadn't been protected by his mentor and followed by people sent by his grandmother, he and his fourth brother might have been caught and sent to the capital as soon as the decree came out from the capital.
But even if no one caught them, the fourth brother still lied to him, got him drunk and threw him to Yang Yuhao, and sent him to Nanzhou for refuge.
Yang Yuhao next to Zhou Yunjia sighed and said: "Just listen to your fourth brother and go to Nanzhou first. Nanzhou used to be the fiefdom of the eldest princess. If you go there, you can return to your own territory."
"Or..." Yang Yuhao hesitated.
"I'm not going to your house." Zhou Yunjia directly interrupted Yang Yuhao's hesitation.
Yang Yuhao sighed.
Speaking of which, the reason why he took Zhou Yunjia through the market without being discovered was entirely because of his identity.
His grandmother was the biological sister of the emperor's mother, and his mother was the emperor's niece.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, he recognized Ruizhong as his father. His grandmother, who was the only one related to the emperor by blood, borrowed his influence and got the title of princess, while his mother got the title of princess.
The emperor has only one biological sister, which is why Ji Mingzhu chose him in the first place. She has no brothers and no worries.
Over the years, the emperor has always felt that he owed his sister, and because his sister died young, he gave all his attention and love to Yang Yuhao's mother, Princess Yuyang, and even let her marry Yang Bingtian, the current high-ranking prefect of Luzhou. .
Their family was a serious royalist faction, so no one thought that Yang Yuhao would flee south with Zhou Yunjia, whose clan was exterminated by the emperor.
Yang Yuhao did not regret his actions. After all, he, Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Yunjia were senior brothers who had known each other for many years.
But if his parents knew about it, they would definitely scold him for turning his elbows outward, and even escort Zhou Yunjia directly back to the capital.
Zhou Yunjia clenched his fists and said: "I will go to Nanzhou to wait for my fourth brother. If I can't wait for him, I will go to the north!"
"Can't you just stay in Nanzhou honestly?" Yang Yuhao felt so angry that he had a headache when he looked at the elm-headed man in front of him.
"Do you know what's going on outside now? The war in the northwest is coupled with the plague, the people in the north are in dire straits, there's a severe drought in Luzhou and Qingzhou, and you have to change your children to eat. If you, a white and tender little scholar like you, go out, you can be given to you in the blink of an eye. Put it in the pot and stew it. Believe it or not, it’s cooked!”
Yang Yuhao wasn't trying to scare him. If it hadn't been for the experienced guards accompanying them along the way, they wouldn't have been able to get where they are now.
"My grandfather was a first-grade general, my uncle was a general in Zhenbei, and my father was a general in Anbei. I..."
Before Zhou Yunjia finished speaking, Yang Yuhao held his hand and whispered: "You are just a wooden general!"
"I know your ancestors are very skilled in martial arts, but your three-legged cat can't even beat your little maid. Who can you beat!"
Zhou Yunjia blushed and said, "Chun Que is born with divine power, and she has learned martial arts from my third sister since she was a child. How can I beat her?"
"Anyway, if my fourth brother doesn't believe me, I will go to the north. The men of our Zhou family will die on the battlefield!" He is a member of the Zhou family, and he will never be a coward!
Yang Yuhao looked at the wooden head in front of him and was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "How can I explain to you that you died on horseback!"
"Your fourth brother, I will help you find out, and you can go to Nanzhou honestly!"
Anyway, he couldn't bring this slumber-headed nerd away, so he had to quickly find the Zhou family and throw him out. Yang Yuhao was afraid that if he stayed with Zhou Yunjia for another month, his life would be shortened by ten years.
"Yunjia, listen to my senior brother and stop fussing. It's more useful than anything else to carry on the Zhou family's lineage!"
He had already gone to check on the family members of the guilty ministers who had been exiled from the capital, and he did not know if Zhou Yunqi had met any of the exiled family members of the Zhou family.
"I am really useless. My martial arts skills are not as good as those of my eldest and second brothers. I am not half as smart as my fourth brother. I have lived for more than ten years and in the end I can only carry on the family lineage of the Zhou family." At this point, Zhou Yunjia wanted to cry again, "But I can carry on the family lineage." Not even a wife."
Yang Yuhao:......
Is there anyone to save him?
Yang Yuhao looked at Zhou Yunjia speechlessly, "Are you trying to trick me?"
His martial arts skills are not as good as those of the eldest and second eldest brother of the Zhou family, and his brain is not as bright as Zhou Laosi’s. He is not even as good at reading as Zhou Yunjia!
Speaking of his wife, he is nineteen years old and still has not gotten married.
Zhou Yunjia raised his head in confusion when he heard Yang Yuhao's words, and then looked at Yang Yuhao with an expression of sudden realization. With just such an expression, Yang Yuhao almost had a heart attack and vomited blood.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Life is still long and you have hope." Zhou Yunjia advised sincerely.
Yang Yuhao covered his chest and sat on the other side of the carriage, "Don't talk, let me be quiet."
"oh."
Seeing Zhou Yunjia being so obedient, Yang Yuhao couldn't help but say, "How nice of you to be obedient and stay in the carriage for me. When we get to Fucheng, I will find an opportunity to have someone take you back to Nanzhou."
"knew."
…
At night, when Uncle Liang and others were guarding Zhou Yunshu and his party behind them, the patrol team on Zhou Yunshu's side did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Between the two teams, you guard me and I guard you. The ten-meter open space in the middle is like a chasm, and no one can cross it.
The next morning, as soon as the pots in Zhou Yunshu's team were set up, the team in front set off.
Wei Zhong came to Zhou Yunshu's side after those people left.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wei Zhong who seemed to have something to say and said bluntly: "What's wrong?"
"Should we slow down to avoid conflict with those in front of us?"
Seeing Zhou Yunshu looking at him, Wei Zhong continued to explain: "Last night, the patrol team encountered the guards of the convoy in front. They were very skilled. I guess there was some big shot sitting in the carriage, so I thought of slowing down to avoid Unnecessary disputes.”
What Wei Zhong said was reasonable, but Zhou Yunshu felt that Wei Zhong might have recognized who was in the car in front of him, so he came to say this to her.
She knew that Wei Zhong posed no threat to her for the time being, and she also knew that he would not put her in danger for the time being, so when Wei Zhong said this, Zhou Yunshu did not refuse and just let him make his own arrangements.
The team in front deliberately speeded up, while Zhou Yunshu and his group deliberately slowed down. Due to the deliberate actions of the two teams, they never encountered each other again until they went down the mountain.
I don't know if it was Zhou Yunshu's illusion, but after coming down from the mountain, she felt that the energy of the entire team was much better, and everyone's health was even much better than before.
While resting at the foot of the mountain at night, she even heard the reluctance of many people in the team to leave Anshan.
Zhou Yunshu shook his head helplessly. This meant that there were so many people that even ferocious animals would avoid them. If there were fewer people, they might really be eaten alive by the beasts in the forest.
