Chapter 62: Road Encounters Allies 2(1/2)
The next day, the person who led the way came, a local man. He spoke very little along the way, neither flattering them nor looking down upon them.
Yu Yubin is not a person who can keep his mouth shut. It was not easy for him to inquire about people's family background when they met for the first time yesterday. At this time, he was a little depressed. Yu Yubin used a fan to dispel the depression in his heart. The five of them walked around like this, not saying a word.
, he really couldn't accept it.
Yu Yubin looked at Duan Qingqian walking aside and asked.
"Looking at Brother Jian's well-spoken manner and elegant temperament, he must be from a big family in An Dynasty?"
Duan Qingqian replied politely.
"Brother Yu has received the award, but I don't dare to accept it. I see that Brother Yu is free-spirited and open-minded, and does not stick to trivial matters. I am afraid that he is also a loyal and courageous person."
Yu Yubin responded with a smile. The man in front of him didn't look like much, but he also spoke in the same way.
"I wonder where Brother Jian is from?"
"People from Tinghe."
"People from Tinghe? What a coincidence, so am I."
Yu Yubin responded awkwardly. Duan Qingqian’s answer was no different from not answering. There is a big river in An Dynasty called Ting River. Two-thirds of the people in An Dynasty grew up drinking Ting River water. These two-thirds of the people grew up drinking Ting River water.
They are all from Tinghe.
Duan Qingqian couldn't always let Yu Yubin ask questions, she had to probe him.
"Brother Yu has friends all over the world, but he often travels all over the world?"
"I have traveled to some places and traveled all over the country."
"Oh? Really? Brother Yu is a person who has seen a lot of things in the world. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to hear about his past heroic deeds and unique insights? This can also help me and other newcomers learn from it?"
Everyone wants to hear compliments, and Yu Yubin is not a boring person. He has indeed experienced a lot from his travels, and he can say something at any time. Yu Yubin adds a little exaggeration and imagination to what he sees and hears, and makes him
The things I have seen before are slowly told like a story.
"Speaking of it, there was a strange thing. That year I..."
Duan Qingqian asked a few questions from time to time, and the atmosphere was cheerful along the way.
The next night, he arrived at Qiao Country in the dark night. He planned to rest for a while and set off at dawn. As soon as he arrived at the base, he asked about Duan Qingqian's situation.
"Is the princess in danger?"
"No, it's just that there is one more person beside the princess. This is this person's information, and I am preparing to send it to the princess."
An Ye stretched out his hand to take it, and what he saw was surprising. He was a dandy who was good at eating, drinking and having fun. He couldn't rest assured with him by the princess's side.
"I will send the information personally."
The person who was going to send the information hesitated for a while and said.
"good."
An Ye washed up casually, grabbed some dry food, necessary clothes, and medicine, and chased the road Duan Qingqian took.
Duan Qingqian is still on the road. They have been walking on the forest trails for the past two days. They have not entered the town or the village. They all eat and live together. Sometimes some strange habits always attract people's attention.
At this time, they had been traveling all morning and were resting at noon. Duan Qingqian ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and walked to the outskirts of the forest. Yu Yubin couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Jian, where are you going?"
"Xiaoxiaoshi, walk around."
In fact, Duan Qingqian also wanted to go for convenience.
This was not the first time that Duan Qingqian wanted to take a walk, and when he left, he stayed away from their sight. The person who led them was a little dissatisfied. For Yu Yubin's sake, he agreed to take Duan Qingqian with him. Now they are still in a lot of troubles.
, isn’t this just looking for trouble for him?
He said dissatisfied.
"Since this young master is with us, please abide by our rules. It's not like you haven't seen it along the way. This forest is full of poisonous snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The young master has a delicate body and a precious life. There is no way to entrust your fate here."
It’s worth it; and I don’t know how many people are secretly tracking our whereabouts at this time, so please be more careful, Master, and be sure to stay within my sight if you want to eat.”
When he said this, Shadow disagreed and looked at him coldly and asked.
"How much does the powder you carry to protect you from snakes, insects, rats, and ants cost? Our young master bought them all."
The person leading the way sneered and didn't answer. Yu Yubin, a wealthy businessman, had never spoken to him in such a loud voice. Just the two of them? They were just pretending to be fat.
Seeing that they were almost frozen, Yu Yubin hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Brother, for my sake, don't worry about it."
The person leading the way nodded lightly, then leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Yu Yubin stepped forward and said to Duan Qingqian.
"Brother Jian, don't be angry. He still needs to guide you along the way, otherwise we won't be able to deal with the snakes, insects, rats, ants and miasma in the forest."
Duan Qingqian didn't mean to be unreasonable. As a woman going out, it would be fine if she was surrounded by familiar people, but there were many taboos when facing strangers, which was really inconvenient.
Duan Qingqian was not angry and said calmly.
"I know, it's just that I've had this habit since I was a child. If anything happens, I'll bear it myself."
"Then big brother will accompany you for a walk?"
"No need."
Yu Yubin joked.
"Brother Jian, why don't you go for a convenience? I see that Brother Jian avoids us every time. He is not a woman, so what is there to be shy about?"
"Brother Yu is joking. This is also one of my habits, but it makes Brother Yu laugh."
"You have quite a lot of habits."
Although Yu Yubin was surprised, he did not doubt Duan Qingqian's identity and let her go.
It's just that once people have doubts, even if they say it casually, if they encounter something close to the doubt again later, they can't help but think in that direction. This is the case for Yu Yubin at this time.
They rested for a while and then continued on their way. It was almost dusk and they were a little sweaty from traveling. There happened to be a river in front of them. There was no water flow last night, so they couldn't take a bath. It was good to wipe themselves now.
Yu Yubin first suggested.
"It's almost dusk now, and we can't catch the road at night. There is a river in front of us, which is perfect for bathing. Why don't we rest here tonight?"
The person leading the way respected Yu Yubin, nodded, and stopped first.
Yu Yubin stepped forward and patted Duan Qingqian on the shoulder.
"Brother Jian, let's go wash in the river together? You won't refuse me this time, right?"
Yu Yubin patted Duan Qingqian's shoulder with his hand and put it down. Duan Qingqian subconsciously moved farther away from him.
"Brother Yu, go alone. I still like to be alone."
"Brother Jian has more than one habit. Could it be that he is a woman? Why is he so troublesome as a woman?"
"Brother Yu was joking again. With my rough voice, is it a woman's voice?"
"Yeah?"
After all, Yu Yubin is well-informed, and he believes that the Jian Qing in front of him is a woman. He has also seen women with extraordinary courage, insight, and unparalleled intelligence.
Yu Yubin looked at Duan Qingqian, looking up, down, left, and right carefully. Duan Qingqian did not avoid his gaze. Doesn't her avoiding it mean that she feels guilty?
Duan Qing asked with a slight smile.
"how?"
Yu Yubin replied pertinently.
"He is a thin man. It's just..."
Yu Yubin looked at the hand that had just patted Duan Qingqian's shoulder. It seemed that Jian Qing's shoulders were quite thin, and they were not as strong as those who practiced martial arts when patted on them. She felt... like a woman?
Yu Yubin subconsciously wanted to take a picture again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the shadow stepped forward and intercepted him, staring at him with evil eyes.
Yu Yubin withdrew his hand in embarrassment and smiled.
"Brother Jian is as tall as a woman, but he didn't have enough food or drink before?"
"Maybe!"
Yu Yubin was no longer entangled, but he still had this doubt in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jian Qing was the woman. He also kept secretly paying attention to Duan Qingqian at night.
Duan Qingqian understood in her heart that Yu Yubin was quite thoughtful, and Shadow felt it, but he did not dare to show too much, lest he be confirmed by Yu Yubin, and only occasionally stepped forward to help Duan Qingqian block Yu Yubin's sight.
The next day, Yu Yubin became more normal and no longer secretly paid attention to Duan Qingqian. Instead, he came to Duan Qingqian in the open and got close to her from time to time. Yingying could only watch the opportunity and step forward to resist a few times.
On the third day, just when Yu Yubin was about to hook up with Duan Qingqian to show that we two brothers were good friends, a branch hit the back of his hand. Yu Yubin had to retract his hand and catch the flying branch with his backhand. The rest of them were instantly on guard.
Yingying saw the person clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. An Ye finally arrived. An Ye had more ideas than him, so he could just be responsible for protecting Duan Qingqian. It was better to leave it to An Ye to compete with others and play tricks.
Duan Qingqian was a little surprised. She didn't expect An Ye to catch up with them so quickly.
Yu Yubin's bodyguard Jiang Gao was about to step forward to fight An Ye when Duan Qingqian shouted.
"This is my bodyguard. I'm sorry to disturb everyone."
