Chapter 273: Staying together forever
Han Jian almost understood when he heard this. The reason why the old woman took the risk of letting them in was that she was just greedy for the five taels of silver. The old woman obviously wanted to marry her son for her wife.
Han Jian didn't ask much and went in to boil water. Although Han Jian was the King of the East, he was still very familiar with making firewood. The old woman asked for help but Han Jian politely declined.
After Han Jian boiled the medicine and sent it to the kang, Yang Xing'er had been sleeping for a while and her complexion improved a lot. Han Jian brought Yang Xing'er a strip of bandage again. This time Yang Xing'er could bandage it by herself without Han Jian's help.
In the afternoon, the second pillar who went out to dig the ground had not come back yet. The old woman seemed a little nervous and kept looking up the mountain at the door. Han Jian poured out the medicine residue and saw the old woman anxiously, saying, "Auntie, just going up the mountain to dig the ground, there should be no trouble, right?"
The old woman sighed, "Little brother, you don't know that the local government has not been peaceful recently. It means that there are chaos in the northern court, and many strong men have been arrested in the local government. Erzhu has been arrested for labor service once. He just came back. If he is arrested again, he may come back when he will."
"There are still people arresting strong men in the area right now?" Yang Rong'er's voice came from the door of the house.
Han Jian turned around and looked at Yang Xing'er. Yang Xing'er barely supported the door and wanted to come out, but seemed to not want Han Jian to help.
"Xin'er, why did you come out?" Han Jian stepped forward to help him, but Yang Xun'er glared at him. She was blaming Han Jian for being so intimate with her in front of others.
"Can't you come out and be respectful?" Yang Rong'er said with a little resentment.
"I'll help you." Han Jian still stepped forward to support Yang Ronger.
At this time, the old woman replied: "The King of Southern said that he was not allowed to arrest the strong men, but he did not arrest the strong men. Who would fight for them? So when there was any chaos, soldiers would come down and look scared."
Han Jian turned to Yang Xun'er and Yang Xun'er glared at Han Jian and said, "What are you looking at? It's not effective to go up and down. Don't you understand this principle?"
Han Jian held Yang Ronger and smiled and said, "It seems that it's not my turn to ask about Yuzhou."
Yang Ronger stopped talking. With Han Jian helping her to the cottage, Han Jian personally held the door for her.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of fast footsteps at the door. It seemed as if someone had arrived at the gate of the courtyard. The gate of the courtyard knocked on it, saying, "Erzhu was arrested and the strong man, Mrs. Liu hurried to redeem the people!"
The old woman was unstable and sat directly on the ground, cried and said, "Why is Erzhu so careless!"
"I was arrested and could I redeem it?" Han Jian asked in confusion.
"Yes. Little brother. I'm going to redeem the second pillar, you... and this girl are here to wait."
Han Jian nodded. Since it can be solved with money, the matter should not be too big. Han Jian asked, "Does the aunt have the money to redeem people?"
The old woman wiped her tears and said, "Fortunately, there is the silver you gave me, little brother. If you can redeem the second pillar, little brother, you will be the lucky star of our family."
As he said that the old woman was going out and Han Jian wanted to send her off, but the old woman was worried that Han Jian would be arrested and insisted on going alone.
Han Jian wanted to stay and take care of Yang Ronger, but he didn't force him. The old woman went out and told her not to open the door casually, so she hurriedly left, leaving only Han Jian and Yang Ronger in the yard.
Han Jian helped Yang Xing'er back to the kang. Yang Xing'er looked a little angry and said, "Local officials always use various names to suppress the people. Even if the father repeatedly makes a decision, he still cannot do anything."
"Xin'er, we can't solve this for the time being, so you can rest first. When your condition improves, I will accompany you to Yuzhou." Han Jian said.
"Why don't you care about it? Feeling is not your Dongwang Mansion." Yang Ronger looked at Han Jian, a little annoyed that Han Jian said so lightly.
Han Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yang Xun'er has a bad temper now and is easily angry when she says anything. He also knows to avoid her sharpness and not provoke Yang Xun'er easily.
The two of them still did not see the old woman and Erzhu coming back until dusk. Han Jian lit the oil lamp. At this time, Yang Ronger was a little anxious and said, "Why don't you go and have a look?"
"As long as you take the money, there will be no major problems." Han Jian said, "Even if you refuse to let go, the aunt should come back and explain the situation. Jinger, don't worry too much, it's still your injury is important."
In the first half of the night, the whole village was very quiet, and there was no sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking. This quietness was unusually terrifying. Han Jian also felt that it was not normal, but at this moment, he heard a shouting in the distance, followed by a sound of someone smashing and smashing, and the light of fire also rose, as if bandits were entering the village, burning, killing, looting.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ronger had taken the medicine and had been sleeping for a while. When she heard the movement outside, she couldn't help but sit up and looked outside nervously.
"The situation is not right." Han Jian said, "We either hide for the time being or go back to the mountain."
Han Jian remembered that the horses were still outside. If someone found out, the horses were all military horses, which would definitely cause trouble.
Han Jian was about to go out and lead his horse into the yard, but he had heard people coming near the alley. Han Jian hurriedly called Yang Ronger down, ready to fight or escape at any time. At this time, there was a fire outside the yard gate, and someone was knocking on the door.
"Bang!Bang!Bang!"
Han Jian pulled out the long sword, but Yang Ronger held Han Jian's sword and said, "It may be a soldier from the Southern Prince's Mansion."
"Not necessarily." Han Jian said, "When will your soldiers in the Nanwang Mansion become bandits?"
Yang Ronger glared at Han Jian. At this time, the gate of the courtyard had been broken into the door. Several people holding knives and torches rushed in. Seeing Han Jian and Yang Ronger standing in front of the door, they shouted: "This person is tied up!"
Yang Ronger shouted: "Who dares to be rude?"
Yang Ronger's shout was a bit intimidating. The few people who were about to rush up were beaten, but some sneered and said, "Damn it, it's still a little girl, I took it! Go back and study it carefully!"
Wanting to rush forward, Han Jian waved his sword and knocked down one of them with one sword. In an instant, only one of the five or six people rushed up was still standing.
"What's wrong? How dare you come?" Han Jian said with a fierce look.
"Retreat!" The remaining man ran away, and Han Jian did not chase him. He directly helped Yang Xuaner out of the door and helped Yang Xuaner on his horse. The two of them avoided the fire and hurried out of the village and headed towards the mountains behind the village.
When Han Jian arrived outside the village, he felt relieved. Fortunately, those people from unknown origins were scattered and arrested people. If they met thirty or fifty people, he would really not be able to deal with it.
When Han Jian and Yang Ronger arrived on the mountain behind the village, Han Jian helped Yang Ronger off the horse and said, "Let's rest first, it's secluded here. Even during the day, it may not be found."
Yang Ronger sat in the grass with a sad expression and said, "I didn't expect that this place is close to Yuzhou, but it is still so chaotic!"
Han Jian said: "Now that the power of the monarch is gone, even ordinary people know that the country has no master. It is reasonable for the local people to take advantage of this time to cause trouble. I believe that things will subside soon."
Yang Ronger looked at the direction of the village. At this time, the fire was already rising to the sky. It was obvious that the entire village was burned.
"I don't know how the aunt and his son are doing."
"Auspicious people will have their own appearance." Han Jian said.
Yang Ronger and Han Jian sat quietly in the grass, and suddenly there was a shout of killing at the foot of the mountain. Han Jian got up and looked. It seemed that a brigade of officers and soldiers entered the village and were fighting against the "bandits" who entered the village.
Han Jian said: "This time, it should be the soldiers of your Nanwang Mansion."
"Those before should be the same," said Yang Ronger. "They always work in small teams when they go out, and they can't make any mistakes."
Han Jian smiled and said that Yang Ronger was still pretending to be confused. As for why there were conflicts between the local garrison troops of the Southern Prince's Mansion, Han Jian couldn't explain clearly. He only knew that at least the officers and soldiers who were causing trouble were already suppressed.
Han Jian gave the dry food and water to Yang Xinger, but Yang Xinger refused to take it. Han Jian knew that Yang Xinger was injured and had a bad appetite at this time. Coupled with the riots in Yuzhou, she had no intention of eating and drinking.
Han Jian hugged Yang Xing'er and wanted to comfort Yang Xing'er. Originally, Han Jian thought she would push her away, but he didn't expect Yang Xing'er to lean on Han Jian's shoulder, as if he had regarded him as his own support.
"You really want to go back to Yuzhou with me?" Yang Ronger asked softly.
"Yes." Han Jian nodded, with no other words.
"I'm very cold." Yang Rong'er suddenly said.
"I'll put my clothes on you." Han Jian was about to take off his clothes, but Yang Ronger leaned over and leaned directly into Han Jian's arms.
Han Jian didn't expect that Yang Xhin'er would be so enthusiastic when she became "cold". Just as she felt a little unbearable, Yang Xhin'er raised her head and glared at Han Jian. The resentment in her eyes made Han Jian a little confused.
"This place is too dangerous, let's go up the mountain!" Yang Ronger said.
"Okay." Han Jian got up and helped Yang Ronger get on the horse. The two of them walked along the mountain road and went all the way to the mountains.
When they arrived at a broken house, Han Jian helped Yang Ronger to get off the horse. When the two of them entered, they realized that it was a land temple.
"Xin'er, do you still remember that we were at the Land Temple outside Luoyang City. After a day?" Han Jian arrived at the Land Temple and felt a little familiar, so he asked with a smile.
"Make a fire." Yang Rong'er's tone seemed to be instructing.
Han Jian casually found some branches and set the fire on his back. He sat with Yang Xing'er in the dilapidated temple, leaning against the small fire, staring blankly.
"Why did you refuse Your Majesty's marriage?" Yang Ronger asked leaning against Han Jian's arms.
Han Jian didn't expect that Yang Xun'er would still be confused about this problem. He thought for a while and said, "At that time, you and Xun'er were not familiar with each other. I was afraid that Xun'er would be entrusted with someone."
"Are you kind-hearted?" Yang Ronger glared at Han Jian, suddenly felt that her gaze was too fierce, and then her eyes turned soft and she leaned her head back in Han Jian's arms.
Han Jian held Yang Xun'er and felt that time passed quickly. He wanted to hold Yang Xun'er and stay together for so long. But he also knew that Gu Xin'er was still waiting for him. Even without Gu Xin'er, he might not be able to stay with Yang Xun'er forever.
Han Jian has always had a secret in his heart. Although he came to Yuzhou this time, although he tried his best to complete his marriage with Yang Ronger, more importantly, he wanted to use this marriage between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion to allow Southern Prince Yang Luochuan to continue to be loyal to the Queen. The Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion can serve the king together. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
