Chapter 15
Ye Xiaotian and the other two traveled westward, and the area they passed gradually became a place where all ethnic groups live. The people of at least ten ethnic groups, including Han, Miao, Hui, Zhuang, Yi, Yao, Bai, She, etc., were scattered in small villages along the way.
The folk customs here are very different from those in the Central Plains, and the government's control is relatively weak. In some places with bad geographical conditions and strong folk customs, the areas that the county magistrate can control are actually limited to the county town. In this case, public security is naturally even worse. For safety reasons, Ye Xiaotian always has to find a business trip on the same road before he can get on the road.
On that day, they finally arrived at Huangzhou Prefecture. As long as they cross Huangzhou, there will be a road that runs through the north and south, and they can turn to the road to the capital. Ye Xiaotian was both happy and worried. He was happy that he finally set out on the way home, and he was worried that he only had the last penny left in his pocket.
Although there is a road that runs through Huangzhou City that runs through the north and south, this road is a post road opened from the vast mountains. From Huangzhou to the next big city is a long and tortuous post road in the mountains, which takes as soon as four days to pass.
During this period, there were almost all mountains and ridges, and it was difficult to encounter people who were penniless and lonely. People who were alone and alone would not be able to pass through. However, Ye Xiaotian did not stop because of this. There must be a road before the car arrived at the mountain. The optimistic Xiaotian always believed that there was no way out.
After entering the city, they spent the last penny and bought three vegetables and buns. The three of them barely dealt with each other and immediately walked towards the west city.
Since entering Huangzhou City, Xue Shuiwu has been worried, but Ye Xiaotian is both happy and worried at this time, and has not noticed it. Xue Shuiwu is worried and cannot help but fall behind a few steps. Looking at the back of Le Yao walking forward quickly, she wanted to speak several times, but finally kept silent again.
Now that the Ximen is about to be imminent, Shui Wu finally mustered up the courage to catch up with him quickly. Just as she was about to say something to Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped, pulled her up, and quickly flashed towards the corner of the intersection.
Xue Shuiwu said in surprise: "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Silence!"
He handed Le Yao to Shui Wu, leaned against the corner of the wall and quietly poked his head out, looking into the distance for a while, his eyebrows were tightened, and his face gradually became gloomy.
At the city gate, the people and merchants were coming and going. Only two half-dead soldiers leaned against the city gate with their arms, lazily looking at the people coming and going. But under the shadow of the city wall, five or six big men were standing there.
They looked around and stood under a not-so-human city gate, which was particularly conspicuous. One of them was thin, which was Yang Sanshou. Ye Xiaotian never expected that they would chase after him and guard the only exit to return to the north!
Yang Sanshu sat on a stone pier, wearing a straw hat, and was gnawing a piece of watermelon.
While spitting out melon seeds, he squinted at the people who left the city. Unless there was a vehicle that could hide people, he would not have to deliberately go forward to check. Ye Xiaotian and Xue Shuiwu were carrying a child, and this combination was easy to identify.
He chased the official road in the north of Jingzhou for a long time, and he had never seen Ye Xiaotian and the other two. Yang Sanshu immediately woke up and realized something was wrong. Even if Ye Xiaotian and the other two borrowed someone else's car, they would not be able to pass their horses. Since they could not catch up, they might have fallen behind them, or had not left Jingzhou at all.
Yang Sanshu immediately turned around and searched back, but he didn't find Ye Xiaotian's shadow when he returned to Jingzhou City. Yang Sanshu went to report back to Mrs. Yang in disappointment, thinking that since Ye Xiaotian and the other two had escaped by chance, it would be fine, but the wife issued a strict order to ask him to find Shui Wu and his daughter to death no matter what.
Yang Sanshu didn't understand why his wife was so persistent, but she could only secretly complain about how terrible a woman who was petty. As a slave, he could not and dared not disobey his master's orders, and could only execute them without fail.
But it is not easy to catch Ye Xiaotian and the others. Yang Sanshu went through a lot of trouble to find out that Ye Xiaotian and the others were heading west. Yang Sanshu followed along, but every time it was a mistake and one step late.
In view of this, Yang Sanshu simply divided half of his men and horses to track and chase him, and took the other half of his men and horses to Huangzhou Prefecture for a long time, blocking the only way to the capital.
Ye Xiaotian said to Xue Shuiwu: "Yang Sanshou is coming, right in front of the city gate."
"What?" Xue Shuiwu's face turned pale when she heard this.
Ye Xiaotian stared at her with a sharp look and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Mrs. Yang insist on killing you?"
Xue Shuiwu looked confused, thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "I...I don't understand, it doesn't make sense. Why did she hate the little girl so much? It doesn't make sense at all."
Ye Xiaotian always felt that Shui Wu's words were a bit untrue, and there was no unreasonable persecution. If a person could enjoy almost unrestrained power, then there was no reason to be crazy or unscrupulous.
But Mrs. Yang obviously does not have such power and has many constraints on her, so she insists on doing this, so she cannot be aimless or without reason. But now is not the time to ask questions. Ye Xiaotian looked at Shui Wu deeply, and then poked his head out to observe the movements at the city gate.
Shui Wu bit her lip and said ai: "Since they have guarded the city gate, what should we do? Or...why do we hide in the city for a few days first?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Who knows if they only have these people? What if someone else in the city asks about our movements? There are so many dreams at night, we must leave the city as soon as possible to be safer."
Xue Shuiwu looked at the big men guarding the city gate and said worriedly: "Why can't we go out? We can't make a fortune or break through..."
Ye Xiaotian stroked his chin and pondered: "It doesn't mean it's impossible to go out. There is no way out, we can always find a way."
At this time, the group slowly walked towards the intersection where they were hiding.
There were two people walking in the front, one of which was a Miao girl who was lit up at first sight. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing an exquisite silver flower crown, and a pair of silver cow horns about one foot high were inserted on the crown. The silver cow horns were tied with colorful floats on the tips, and a silver flower belt was hung in the lower edge of the silver crown, and a small silver flower pendant drooped down.
A gorgeous pleated skirt of batik was tied to her thin waist, and a string of silver bells were tied around her waist. The silver jewelry on her body was not just that, but there were also silver jewelry on her neck, and a seven-layer silver collar hung around her neck, brightly shaking, and a silver lock and a silver collar were worn on her chest.
When she moved her long and light thighs, her gait was soft, her small waist was also graceful, and her feet were as good as paintings. The sound of the silver bells coming from her body became a pleasant music.
The flowery clothes are covered with silver, which is set off with her beautiful face that looks like a full moon, with bright eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose, and a mouth that looks bigger than the cherry mouth of the beauty of the Central Plains, but it also makes her plump and charming lips as beautiful as petals have a unique taste.
The lips were not painted red, but had a healthy and bright luster. The red lips were bright on the outside and the white teeth were fresh on the inside. It had a healthy beauty, which made her feel a life-filled and vibrant surname. She was paired with a gorgeous silver jewelry, bright and charming.
Next to her was a gentle scholar in blue shirt. He tilted a folding fan in his hand and showed his elegance in his behavior. However, although his face was not ugly, it was hard to be called suave. He could barely be considered a middle-aged person, but the taste of scholars was full of.
Behind them, there were more than a dozen strong Miao men holding horses and wearing swords. Therefore, wherever they passed, pedestrians on the streets were avoiding each other, fearing that they would provoke people they shouldn't have provoked.
As he was about to reach the intersection, the scholar suddenly put away the folding fan and said politely to the Miao girl: "Miss Ning'er, let's eat something here first before leaving the city, so as not to have no restaurants in Qianlu, and it is difficult to eat on the road."
"Young Master Xu is more thoughtful, so that's it."
The Miao girl smiled shyly, softly like a gurgling stream. If someone familiar with her saw her look at her now, she would never admit that the soft and lovely girl in front of her was the girl Zhan they knew, and the second-ranked girl Zhan Ninger Zhan, the eldest girl Zhan in the "Three Tigers in the Water West".
The "Three Tigers in the Shuixi" are all women, very young women, and rich girls who are loved by thousands of people. So they became nightmares in the hearts of more than a hundred Tusi family members from Guizhou. Many of them were tortured by them and wanted to go crazy. Yu Ye was hoping that a great hero who was brave enough to sacrifice would fall from the sky and "eliminate the three evils" for them. Unfortunately, no one was willing to sacrifice himself, so their nightmares were still lingering.
As for this girl Zhan Ning'er, her father was the great chieftain of the Shuixi Zhan family, while her mother was from the Shuixian family, the largest chieftain in Guizhou. Zhan Ning'er carried two major chieftains on one shoulder, which was naturally unspeakable.
As the saying goes, the emperor who has been a hundred years old and the chieftains of thousands of miles away. The emperors must also be subject to various restrictions and cannot do whatever they want. Especially the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who were bullied by ministers one by one, and each was more miserable than the emperor. However, these chieftains were arbitrary and arbitrary, and were more powerful than the emperor.
"Shuixi Three Tigers" sound majestic, but such a nickname is used on women, which shows their terribleness. Miss Zhan is only ranked second among the Three Tigers of Shuixi, but she is also the only tomboy who can be martial.
This girl Zhan has been fond of martial arts since she was young, but she didn't want to become an adult but became obsessed with literature. Although she was limited to her talent, she could soon fall into a sweet dream as soon as she opened the book, but she could not dispel her desire to learn.
"Since you can't become a talented woman, then marry a talented man!"
Miss Zhan thought and did the same. She publicly announced that she would marry a scholar with great talent.
As soon as the news came out, hundreds of young masters from the Tusi family in Guizhou were touched and said: "This tigress has finally determined the goal of harming the whole life. Fortunately, it's not me!" Some young masters who were obviously knowledgeable but realized that they were very talented, announced from now on: "Young Master, I'm ignorant."
In fact, they don’t have to worry so much. They want to find scholars, and there are scholars who are better than Han Lang? The Miao man is cheerful and rough, and he doesn’t have the talent of a Han Shulang. The Han Shulang is a fatal ** for almost every Miao woman!
Zhan Ning'er went to Zhongyuan this time to do something, but on the way back, he happened to meet this scholar named Xu Boyi. He listened to him chanting a poem and playing a piano, and his heart fell into pieces.
Mr. Xu is nearly thirty years old. Because of his poor family, he is still unmarried. After learning about this, Zhan Ning'er immediately regarded him as her good matchmaker. She was afraid that her rudeness would scare away this gentle scholar, so she always acted like a weak and obedient girl in front of him.
With Mr. Xu's suggestion, a pair of fiery red sleeves flew over, and amid the pleasant silver ringtone, Zhan Ning'er floated past Ye Xiaotian with a fresh breath.
Ye Xiaotian sniffed the faint fragrance of flowers coming from his nose, looked at the dozen or so men who described the toughness and with a knife on his waist, and snapped his fingers at Xue Shuiwu with a hint of spirit: "There is a way."
Xue Shuiwu asked happily: "What's the solution?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled evilly and said confidently: "The mountain man has his own trick! You can wait here with peace of mind. When Yang Sanshu and his group left the city gate, we will leave the city immediately!"
P: I sincerely ask everyone for recommendation!!!
