The following text

The next day, Zhao Yu and Jingnu waited quietly and quietly on the side of Yingshan on the northeast side of Luyang for a day.

They did not dare to leave this forest, because Zhao Yu speculated that there must be soldiers from Liangcheng Army who were searching for them in Luyang at this moment, so he decided to hide in the mountains for a few days, and wait for Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Cao An and others to see if the three of them... can still meet with them alive.

As the weather approaches late October, even during the day, it is quite cold, let alone at night.

In order to avoid being frozen to death by the cold wind at night, Zhao Yu thought that he had to prepare for a short period of daylight. He took Jingniao to find a naturally sloping tree, picked up dead branches and fallen leaves from nearby, and built a simple shack based on the falling tree.

Then, the two began to try to make a fire.

Fire slicing is a good thing. The ancients who invented this thing wrapped bamboo silk around cotton wool into a piece of bamboo tube, covered the bamboo lid, and used the star charcoal fire of bamboo silk to preserve Mars. It can usually be stored for several days and is very convenient when using it. Just open the lid and blow it gently, and the sparks hidden in the bamboo silk inside will gradually ignite the bamboo silk and cotton wool again.

If not, just cover the bamboo cover.

But unfortunately, Zhao Yu and Jingnu did not carry such convenient tools, nor did they have flints. Zhao Yu could only use the stupidest and most primitive method to drill wood to make fire.

From afternoon to dusk, Zhao Yu and Jingnu took turns drilling a piece of the trunk that had peeled off the outer skin with branches, making both of their hands worn out, blood oozing out, and the damn flame could not be seen, only a trace of white smoke.

Feeling the unbearable soreness of his arms, Zhao Yu once wanted to give up.

But in just a blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Yes, he no longer has a home. He loved his father and mother, loyal guards and servants, everything was lost. There was only Jingnv's weak little girl who was still gritting her teeth and persevering. How could he give up easily?

Resisting the soreness of his arms, Zhao Yu and Jingnu persevered for a long time. Finally, the two finally saw the damn flame.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

At that moment, the quiet girl cried excitedly, and was busy preparing to put dead branches into the flames.

"Don't be anxious, you should calm down at this time."

Zhao Yu quickly called Jingnv, carefully placed a few branches on the flame, then bent down and gently blew the flame. It was useless to lighten it, and was afraid that it would blow out the flame that had finally appeared. Therefore, he was extremely concerned and a layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

It was not until the flames licked the branches that Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into the shack, watching his skin worn out and blood trembled inexplicably.

At that moment, he vaguely felt something had changed.

However, there should be some changes, because he has no more to rely on...

After dusk, the sky quickly dimmed, and none of them came to meet them.

The more I waited, the more disappointed she became, the quiet girl sat in Zhao Yu's arms. Before she knew it, she fell asleep leaning against Zhao Yu's chest.

She seemed to feel the cold, and she shrank her body and unconsciously penetrated into Zhao Yu's arms, as if she wanted to shrink her whole body into Zhao Yu's arms.

Zhao Yu glanced at the little hold of fire.

It was really just a small handful of fire, maybe only the size of him or Jingnv's two palms, because he did not dare to set up a bonfire that would become particularly eye-catching at night, attracting the soldiers of the Liangcheng Army. He felt that the other party must still be in his Luyang territory and searching everywhere.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu hugged Jingnu tightly, and at the same time unbuttoned her coat and wrapped Jingnu in it.

Although the coat is not thick, it can at least block some cold wind.

It seemed as if the quiet girl in her sleep also felt the warmth, frowned due to the cold, gradually relaxed, her cheeks pressed against Zhao Yu's chest, making a small snoring sound.

She is too tired.

In fact, I didn’t sleep much last night and I was busy all day today. Zhao Yu was exhausted, but he couldn’t sleep.

Because of the mutation at home last night, it still hit him today.

He could not forget that when Zhang Ji ran away on his back, the mother who stood at the back door watching him leave and prayed for him silently.

Last night, too many people died in the Marquis' Mansion in a foreign country...

The arrogant father who seemed very mature but would be jealous of his son in front of his wife, died.

He was born into a rich family and looked like a lady-like mother on weekdays, but she always liked to tease her husband in private, and died.

There is also Cao Ju, a major manager who is in charge of many affairs in the mansion...

Zhang Ying, who doesn't care about anything except looking at the mansion, always likes to be lazy...

Aunt Zheng, who used to clean his clothes for Jingnv...

The chef Lao Xu, who is good at cooking the ground...

Many, many.

And... Guardian Zhang Chun.

In order to cut off the rear for the rest of the people, Zhang Weichang was also dead.

The last scene Zhao Yu saw was that Zhang Weichang roared and rushed towards a group of Liangcheng Army soldiers. With his courage and ferocity, Zhang Weichang showed no less courage than his fighting against the rebels in Fancheng. Even the Liangcheng Army soldiers were shocked, but the enemy was too many, and Zhang Weichang was finally surrounded.

There are also Niu Ji and Shi Jue...

Zhao Yu was not familiar with the guards in the village marquis's mansion. Some could name them, while others could not. But it is undeniable that these were loyal guards. In order to protect their brothers from escaping, they were willing to leave behind and attract pursuers.

『Ma Cheng…』

Zhao Yu closed his eyes.

"Ma Cheng, what are you doing? Those pursuers are about to catch up!"

"Yes, so someone wants to leave behind the rear... I was injured by an arrow just now, and I really can't escape. Sorry, the second young master, I can only escort you here. I hope you will escape from the heaven of birth. In the future, you will avenge this bloody revenge for everyone who died in my marquis's house tonight!!... As if this is the case, I can rest even if I die!... Zhang Ji, leave!"

"You... take care of yourself, Ma Cheng... Cao An, go."

Zhao Yu's last memory of Ma Cheng was that Zhang Ji still left Ma Cheng alone.

"Yeah..."

The quiet girl in her arms changed her sleeping position a little uncomfortable, and leaned her head on Zhao Yu's shoulder.

Maybe she felt cold, so she grabbed Zhao Yu's coat herself.

"I wonder if Jingnv will get angry when she wakes up..."

Seeing Jingnv grabbing the coat without any knowledge, Zhao Yu thought happily in pain.

Because the clothes on him were not his, but Cao An's.

Yes, it's Cao An's...

Shortly after Ma Cheng left behind, the pursuers chased after him again.

It is not difficult to guess from the shouts of the Liangcheng army soldiers that they came to arrest Zhao Yu for some reason. It was not enough for these Liangcheng army soldiers to kill the Marquis of Luyang Township and his wife Zhou. They also wanted to kill all the brothers Zhao Yin, Zhao Yu, and even the Marquis of Luyang Township.

In the crisis, Cao An ignored Zhao Yu's obstruction and pulled out the cloak of Zhao Yu and led the Liangcheng army soldiers instead of Zhao Yu.

"Cao An, what are you doing?!"

"These people want to capture the young master. If they can't catch you, they will not give up. Since that's the case, I'll lead them away!"

"you……"

"Young master, I once swear to my uncle that I have been loyal to Zhao for generations. Today is the day for me, Cao An, to be loyal!... Hehe, there may not be any danger. Young master, I am smart, I run fast..."

"Cao An..."

Also walking with Zhang Ji...

"I have changed my view of you, Cao An... Since he is the 'second young master' of the Township Marquis' Mansion, don't you feel shabby when you escape alone?"

"Zhang Ji, even you..."

"Although I have always hated this kid, Cao An is right this time. The Liangcheng army soldiers must have received orders to chase the two young masters. If they don't catch the eldest and second masters, they will never give up... Sorry, the second master, but I think it's easier for you and Jingnu to escape at this moment, thanks to Cao An and me to lead the pursuit troops away."

"Zhang Ji..."

"If I am lucky and Cao An escaped, within two days, we will meet in Yingshan on the northeast side. Go quickly, the second son... no, young master!"

...

"Bang!"

The small bonfire in front of him suddenly exploded, which made Zhao Yu feel interrupted.

"We are coming to meet up, Cao An, Zhang Ji, and...Ma Cheng."

Unconsciously hugging the quiet girl in her arms tightly, Zhao Yu thought to himself.

Then, before he knew it, Zhao Yu gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up and opened his eyes again, there was no one around.

"Quiet girl..."

He stood up suddenly and looked around.

『Is it...』

He was inexplicably panicked and his body became anxious.

"Jing Nu? Jing Nu?"

At this moment, Zhao Yu didn't care whether the voice would cause trouble, so he subconsciously started shouting.

"Young Master?"

And at this moment, Jingnv walked quickly from a distance with a handful of mountain fruits.

Zhao Yu felt relieved. When Jingnu approached, he pretended to be joking, "Where have you been? I thought you ran away by yourself..."

"Why does the young master feel that way?"

Jingnv looked at Zhao Yu with her head tilted, as if she noticed the panic on the latter's face. She ignored her hard work and hugged Zhao Yu, saying softly: "I promised my wife that she will take good care of the young master..."
