Youzhou.
It is located on the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty and is under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province.
Because it borders Northeast Sanfan and Goguryeo, the people on the border have also been plagued by war.
On this day, the Khitan, one of the three Northeastern tribes, went south to plunder as usual and returned to their original place carrying the loot.
The so-called spoils of war are nothing more than stolen food, property and people.
Some people may think, what is the use of looting the population?
Of course, it was because the nomads were so backward in their thinking, and they still lived a life of slavery until this time.
The Tang people they captured would become their slaves.
But before they were halfway through the journey, a small team of Goguryeo cavalry discovered them.
Northeast Sanfan borders Goguryeo, but there is no connection between them.
On the contrary, there will be cases where Goguryeo goes south to plunder, Khitan plunders on the way, or Khitan goes south to plunder Goguryeo and plunders on the way.
When the two parties met, they naturally had nothing to say.
The two cavalry teams set up their positions and began to clash.
Seeing this scene, the captive Tang people would naturally not sit still and wait to die.
These barbarian dogs bite dogs, which is the best opportunity for them to escape.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up violently, knocking over the Khitan cavalry guarding them.
Then, he used the opponent's knife to cut the ropes binding his hands and feet, and ran into the woods to hide.
At this time, the two armies were fighting each other, so they naturally had no time to pay attention to this side.
So most people took this opportunity to escape successfully.
A thin, ragged young man looked back while stumbling forward.
Not long after, he had already run into a valley.
But when he looked up, he suddenly felt desperate.
Because the valley in front of you is not straight and transparent.
This place is like a gourd mouth, with only an entrance and no exit.
Just when he was stunned.
Suddenly he heard someone calling him.
"Hey, over there, come here quickly!"
Hearing the call, the young man turned his head and saw a girl with the same ragged clothes squatting in front of a small cave and waving to him.
Seeing this, the young man ran over quickly.
Then, he followed the girl into the cave.
This cave is as big as a dog cave, and it's so dark inside that you can't see anything clearly.
It was pitch dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly.
Because the hole was too small, when he drilled in, the edges of the surrounding stones were like knives, cutting through his clothes and scratching deeply into his flesh.
It hurt so much that he was sweating profusely and crying.
But now he didn't dare to shout or even say a word.
Because he could feel that the earth was shaking, which meant that the opponent's pursuers had come over.
If he dares to shout here, the other party will definitely find him, and he will definitely die.
I don’t know how long I was afraid in the dark.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the surrounding area finally became spacious.
The young man struggled to stand up from the ground and looked around.
Only then did he realize that he was inside the mountain without knowing it.
And the light came from a crack on the top of the mountain.
"stop looking."
"This place is very safe."
The girl walked aside with ease, took out flint and lit a bonfire.
The young man was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "You seem to know this place very well..."
"Because I've been living here for a while."
The girl smiled indifferently, but when she looked up and saw the young man's exposed body, her face inevitably turned red.
She lowered her head, pointed at the young man and said, "Take some time to straighten your clothes, it's leaking..."
Only then did the young man remember that when he walked through the narrow passage just now, all his clothes were torn.
In order to make himself more decent, he quickly straightened his clothes.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, the young man said, "What's your name?"
"Yuwen Qingying..."
"And you?"
"Zhao Youlin."
"Looking at your accent, you don't seem to be from Youzhou. Why were you caught by them?"
When he heard this, strong hatred suddenly flashed in Zhao Youlin's eyes.
The reason why he appeared in Youzhou was naturally thanks to Li Chengqian.
Following Li Chengqian's words to send him away to a place where he could not see, Cheng Huailiang sent him directly to Youzhou.
Later, it was his misfortune. As soon as he entered Youzhou, he encountered Khitan cavalry looting the village.
The soldier responsible for escorting him ran away, and he fell into the hands of the Khitans.
Further back, it’s the scene just now.
"Okay, forget it if you don't want to say it."
Seeing this, Yu Wen Qingying just thought that he didn't want to mention it, curled her lips, then squatted down and continued to poke the fire with branches.
Zhao Youlin pursed his lips and said nothing. He just squatted in the corner and looked up at the sky above his head.
To be honest, he missed his mother a little.
I don’t know how my mother is doing in Stone Castle.
Have you ever been implicated by yourself and suffered revenge from Li Chengqian?
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin couldn't wait to run back to Shibao City to find his mother.
But this place is more than a thousand miles away from Stone Castle. Maybe he will die on the way before he reaches the place.
Zhao Youlin gritted his teeth tightly and banged his head against the rock wall behind him.
He wanted to vent, wanted to let out all the hatred in his heart.
He looked at the top of his head with blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and spit out three words: "Li Chengqian..."
…
{Received anger value +99 from Zhao Youlin...}
{Received resentment value +99 from Zhao Youlin...}
Listen to the system beeps.
Li Chengqian looked indifferent.
He had long been accustomed to this.
During this period, he received points from Zhao Youlin almost every day.
Li Chengqian really didn't expect that his random things could bring him some benefits.
He turned to look at Cheng Huailiang and asked, "Huailiang, where did you leave that boy named Zhao?"
"Youzhou."
Cheng Huailiang glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "If His Highness hadn't refused, I would have thrown him directly to Mobei."
"hehe."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "To be honest, when I first met him, I really thought he was a talented person."
"I really didn't expect that he would become like this later."
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said, "Perhaps, I will never have a chance to meet him in this life."
"Why does Your Highness want to see him?"
"That's just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."
Cheng Huailiang said with disdain on his face: "To be honest, it would be too polite for me, Xiao Cheng, to exile him to Youzhou."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, grabbed some dirt and threw it on him: "You appear to be a good person, but in fact you are very bad."
"Then Your Highness mistakenly blamed me, Xiao Cheng."
Cheng Huailiang patted the dirt on his body, and after a silly laugh, he pursed his lips at Changsun Chong.
"This is the real bad guy!"
"I'll go, who are you talking about?"
Changsun Chong was not happy and grabbed some dirt and threw it on Cheng Huailiang's body.
"What about you? What's wrong? Are you not convinced? Have a fight?"
"Just fight, am I still afraid of you?"
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong would fight if they disagreed.
Li Chengqian stood up quickly and said: "Okay, hurry up and get to work. If my father comes to check the post later, you won't be able to get better if I am punished."
