After hearing Master Gu's words, the subordinate immediately shut his mouth. He wanted to flatter him, but he didn't expect...
And just when he wanted to continue filming, the housekeeper of the Gu family hurried over with his servants.
"Master, my wife asked me to call you back, saying that I have something to ask you." The old housekeeper said respectfully.
"Yes, I understand." Gu Yongnian waved his hand, and then looked at his two subordinates: "You two, I hope you will cooperate with me about the Northern War I mentioned today."
"Please rest assured, sir, we will earnestly request the imperial edict for you."
"I am willing to serve as a front-line soldier for your Majesty. I will definitely give you advice at the court meeting tomorrow."
Gu Yongnian nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely reward you when the work is completed!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty." The two of them said goodbye at the same time.
…
The next day, Daoling Huang County in the northwest.
This small county is under the jurisdiction of Nanxiang Prefecture and is the only way to pass through the North Road.
"In this case, we will arrive at Nanfeng Prefecture soon." Xu Fan turned back to Liu Rushi while driving the carriage and smiled.
"Yes, thanks to my husband for this journey." Liu Rushi looked at Xu Fan who was driving with a happy smile.
"I don't know how my little brother is doing. According to the agreement, he will meet us in Linxian." Xu Fan looked at the northern sky.
"With his intelligence, he will be fine." Liu Rushi walked out of the carriage and leaned behind Xu Fan.
For Liu Rushi, Xu Que was both grateful and afraid... What he was grateful for was that he allowed her to recognize the reality and allowed her to stay with Xu Fan. What scares me is the terrifying look in his eyes and his previous tone.
And just as the two people were riding into the official road, dozens of fast horses passed by them.
Although Xu Fan is a scribe, his eyes are extremely sharp. He can spot the name tags on the waists of these knights and knights at a glance!
"Hello!" Xu Fan grabbed the horse's shackle, picked up Liu Rushi and jumped out of the car.
"Mr. Lang..."
"Don't make a sound!" Xu Fan whispered immediately.
Liu Rushi was a little panicked, but she didn't make any more noise.
Xu Fan quickly entered the wild forest with Liu Rushi in his arms. Before entering the wild forest, he picked up a stone and hit the horse directly on the buttocks.
Feeling the sting, the old horse screamed and sprinted forward.
Xu Fan watched the carriage continue driving down the path, and he felt relieved, but just to be sure, he hugged Liu Rushi and ran for some distance in the wild forest.
"Lang Jun, please rest for a while." Liu Rushi wiped Xu Fan's sweat and said.
"Well, it's almost done. If it doesn't work, let's go back to Linghuang and hide for a while." Xu Fan put down Liu Rushi and said.
As time passed little by little, Xu Fan finally heard the sound of horse hooves running again.
After a dozen horses passed by, Xu Fan led Liu Rushi through the wild forest.
And once they hide, it's night!
The cold wind in the mountains and forests at night was like a steel knife scraping bones for Liu Rushi, but she endured it in order not to be discovered by these people.
"Come, I'll carry you on my back." Xu Fan held up Liu Rushi.
"Mr. Lang, I have made you suffer for me." Liu Rushi shed tears.
"Silly girl, it's all worth it for you." Xu Fan smiled, picked up Liu Rushi and ran towards the other end of the forest.
Xu Fan didn't dare to use his literary energy or light a fire to keep warm. He only relied on his blood and will now.
And just when Xu Fan and Liu Rushi were about to walk out of the wild forest, the sound of horse hooves came rapidly in the distance.
"Hush!"
A knight-errant reined in the reins and quickly scanned the surrounding wild forest.
"How's it going? Did you find it there?" the knight asked.
"There is only one empty carriage at the trail. I guess he hid in it." The last companion replied.
"If I had known about the people on the carriage, I would have taken action first." Another bald man said angrily.
"Okay, let's just wait on the official road. I don't believe that guy won't come out." The knight comforted his companions and then tied the horse to a tree beside the road.
"Do you think they will return to the county?" the bald man asked.
"Then you two go back to the county and go to those four inns to ask." The knight said.
"What should we do if they are in the inn?" the bald man continued to ask.
"Then just spend it with them. Anyway, Mingde Tower is gone now, and the Second Young Master said that as long as we kill Xu Fan, we will have one thousand taels of silver."
"Fourth, do you think we can make this money? I'm afraid..."
Before the bald man could finish his words, the knight immediately said: "Don't worry about this. Even if we don't kill Xu Fan, there is still a reward for you!"
The bald man sighed: "I'm afraid we won't be able to make this money. Didn't you listen to what the brothers outside said? Lang Qing has died in Shuangjiao Mountain, and Mingde Building is actually the ruined Xu family. !”
As the bald man complained, the brothers following them also fell silent.
The knight drew his long sword and slashed at the branches: "So, killing Xu Fan is the last chance. If we don't seize this opportunity, then we might as well change the family."
The bald man realized that the topic was getting more and more serious, so he said directly: "Okay, you can stay here while Lei Zi and I go back to the county to ask."
The knight picked up the branch and said: "Send a signal if there is a situation. If you are not in the county, you will guard at the gate of the county."
The bald man nodded, shouted "drive", and the horse bolted towards the county seat.
As the bonfire was lit, Xu Fan slowly retreated with Liu Rushi.
After retreating to the depths, Liu Rushi's face turned pale.
"You put on this coat first." Xu Fan took off his young man's shirt and said.
"No, Lang Jun won't be able to bear it." Liu Rushi quickly shied away.
"Don't worry, I'm more frost-resistant than you. You'll be much warmer when I carry you on my back." Xu Fan put his coat on Liu Rushi, then carried him on his back and ran toward the northeast.
The cold wind whistled in Xu Fan's ears, and he didn't know how long he had been running. Anyway, there was no bonfire or the sound of horse hooves in front of him, so he walked out of the wild forest with confidence.
When Xu Fan carried Liu Rushi onto the trail, he immediately looked at the night sky and felt helpless when he found that he was off the route.
"Husband, what should we do now?" Liu Rushi asked.
"Let's go northeast first, and then think of a solution when we get to a place with people." Xu Fan said helplessly.
At this moment, Xu Fan could only take another detour. After all, the northwest pipeline had been blocked by those people.
In the dark night, Xu Fan and Liu Rushi walked for an unknown amount of hours until they finally saw a thatched house.
But when the two of them approached and were about to call the door, their faces suddenly showed a look of disappointment, because the thatched house was already abandoned, and even a large area of the wall had collapsed.
"Mr. Lang, how about we spend the night here?"
Liu Rushi was not in a very good condition at the moment. As an ordinary person, it was not easy for her to persist until now.
"Okay, then I'll tidy up first and then go take a look around." Xu Fan nodded in agreement.
After Liu Rushi was completely settled, Xu Fan drew in the air. The word "记" appeared, and a small dot appeared on the sole of his feet. Then he drew the word "风". In an instant, his whole body was like wind. Generally flew up.
Watching Xu Fan leave, Liu Rushi finally couldn't hold it any longer, and tears flowed down like rain...
Less than an hour later, Xu Fan came back with a bunch of things. When he saw Liu Rushi had passed out, Xu Fan dropped the things and ran over.
At this moment, Liu Rushi's face was pale, her forehead was hot, and her body was extremely weak.
Xu Fan didn't care anymore, took out his writing pen and started writing "Jing Qi Wen" directly.
In fact, with Xu Fan's current literary skills, he was simply not good enough to finish this article, but for Liu Rushi, he still fought hard...
As the literary spirit gradually disappeared, more and more beads of sweat appeared on Xu Fan's forehead, and even the hand holding the pen trembled.
When the last stroke was made, Xu Fan's face turned pale and he had no strength left to stand up.
He slowly crawled towards Liu Rushi, came to her side, showed a sad smile, and then patted the "Jing Qi Wen" written on Liu Rushi's chest...
