The next afternoon, after sorting everything out and having a farewell meal at the inn, Chen Mo left Xiangyun Town with two oil bottles. Anyway, the relationship with the villa was already at loggerheads, so there was no need to ask for recommendations from the front line.
.
In fact, it is not impossible for them to go directly, but there will be a lot of trouble. If someone pursues their background, and they are not familiar with the place, they will be in trouble.
On the second floor of the inn, the Xu family brothers and sisters watched the three people riding away, feeling a little melancholy. They also tried to persuade them to stay. After the Xu family heard about Xu Ranyan being blocked that night, they quickly sent someone over.
Although he has not arrived yet, the letter has been sent, asking him to keep his benefactor in Jingjiang.
Xu Guli invited them to visit the Xu family in Pingcheng, but Chen Mo refused, saying that they still had things to do and could not stay for a long time. In fact, Chen Mo did not want to have too many connections in the Shang Kingdom. They were just passers-by here, with the same identity.
Suspicious passer-by.
"They have gone far." Xu Guli said.
"Let's take a look. We can still see it." Xu Ranshuo was a little reluctant and kept looking at the figure who was about to disappear.
"If you ride a horse and catch up now, maybe they will change their minds." Xu Guli teased.
"You gave away all my horses."
"Didn't you ask me to give it to you?"
"Are you bothered? If you have nothing to do, just get out and don't bother me."
"Oh, what the female daichuliu said is indeed right, her elbows started to turn outwards without even a single stroke of her horoscope."
"Believe it or not, I'll go back and complain to dad."
"Trust, so I withdraw first."
After all, the encounter between these people was an encounter under the rain in a pavilion. When the rain stopped, they parted ways, leaving only a short and beautiful memory. As for how long this memory can last, no one knows.
.....
Riding on the road, Santengzi said with some pity: "Why should we refuse people's kindness and not go to Pingcheng to see it and have a meal and drink."
"Yes, yes." Ergouzi nodded repeatedly.
"Quzhou is over there, and Pingcheng is over here. It's not convenient. If you want to go, I won't stop you." Chen Mo only went in two directions.
Chen Mo and Xu Guli asked about the location, but there was no map at the time, and there was no way to buy it in the town. Xu Guli could only make rough gestures on the table with his drink.
The place they are currently located is Ziyun Mountain in the southeast of Qingzhou, Quzhou is not far away to the east, and Pingcheng is north of Ziyun Mountain, in the direction of the hinterland of the Shang Kingdom, which is inconsistent with what they want.
In fact, Chen Mo could probably guess that their Xiao Jiujiu was a big success in Pingcheng. There were indeed a lot of delicious food and drinks there, and the Xu family would also give them the best treatment, but they were more interested in the brothels there.
The lights of the town have already made their legs weak. Of course they want to try something better. After all, they are not short of money. Of course, this is just what they think. Having a hundred taels means they think they have a lot of money.
"Perhaps you can choose to live here. The Xu family should be able to give you a good living." Chen Mo said lightly.
"They value you, we are just minor characters. Besides, I think Miss Xu seems to be quite nice to you. Although she is a little older than you, what does it matter? The corps leader said that female juniors should hold gold bricks.
"San Tengzi thought of Xu Ranji from the Xu family. She always looks for opportunities to get close to Chen Mo. She must be interested in him. She has a good-looking family, a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are a perfect match. But Chen Mo doesn't understand or turns a blind eye. He always turns a blind eye.
He and Er Gouzi became anxious when they saw him being lukewarm towards others.
Chen Mo didn't answer the question. He really didn't care what Xu Ranshuo thought of him: "If you want to live here, I can help you, even if they return the favor."
"Forget it, this is the Shang Kingdom, the enemy's place." Santengzi shook his head and rejected Chen Mo's proposal. He was from the Chu Kingdom, how could he live here, besides, all his companions died in the Shang Kingdom.
He must avenge himself at the hands of his countrymen.
"Are the Xu brothers and sisters enemies?" Chen Mo asked a very simple question.
"Ah, this..." Santengzi couldn't answer for a while. "Can you not bring up such a heavy topic?"
In the end, the three of them chose to go east.
If the battle in Quzhou was defeated, it would be easier for him to take advantage of the chaos of war and return to Chu State. This was also the reason why Chen Mo chose to go here.
...
As the sun sets, Ziyun Villa is particularly moving under the setting sun. A group of disciples bid farewell to their senior brother at the corner of the mountain.
Gan Mu carried his own luggage, put his sword on his waist, led his good horse, and said goodbye to his junior brothers and sisters.
They only found out about their senior brother's sudden departure this morning. They said it was to improve their strength and travel outside, but they thought it was the boy named Chen Mo who made their senior brother lose face yesterday.
The senior brother just wanted to leave them and go outside to relax, and his hatred for that person grew even more.
After Gan Mu persuaded all the junior brothers and sisters to leave with a smile, only Sun Sisi, whom he regarded as his younger sister, remained.
"Why don't you wait until the injury is healed before leaving?" Sun Sisi asked.
"Just take care of yourself while walking, this little injury is nothing." Gan Mu patted his body gently, indicating that he was fine.
"Master..." Gan Mu hadn't seen his master all day, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. Although he was a little embarrassed that his master wanted to keep him, his heart was beating all the time when he wanted to go out and have a try. Here
It's a small place, and he doesn't want to be a frog in a well, he wants to jump out.
"My dad is busy with something and really can't get away. He asked me to give you a message to be more careful." Sun Sisi smiled and said to her senior brother. In fact, this was all a lie to him. His dad had no idea.
She had nothing to say to him. Sun Sisi knew that there were some small rifts between them. On one side was her father, on the other side was her elder brother who was older than her brother. What could she do?
"Help me tell the master to pay more attention to his health." Gan Mu didn't say much. He knew that Sun Sisi's words were a lie to him, but he would rather choose to believe it. He had followed the master since he was a child, and all his skills were also taught by the master.
Yes, he has always listened to the master's words, and he hardly refuted the master's words. Until he began to touch the threshold of the three realms of Tao, but it did not break for a long time, he began to resist some of the master's arrangements, such as taking care of Zhuangzi. This is why he is in this world.
Things hindered his progress, and he began to rebel, although this rebellion came a little late.
So even though it was almost dusk, he would rather not stay one more night and choose to leave this mountain villa where he had lived for more than twenty years now.
"Okay, I will definitely tell you." Sunsun Sisi smiled and continued: "Elder brother, don't just practice outside. If you meet a happy woman, don't miss it. I'm still waiting to drink. Senior brother
Wedding wine."
"Definitely." Gan Mu touched Sun Sisi's head again. He didn't know when the next time would be, and he couldn't guarantee whether there would be a next time.
One person and one horse, with their backs to the setting sun, gradually drifted away under the wave of a woman's hand.
.......
At night, a group of people arrived at Yunlai Inn. At this time, the inn was temporarily not accepting guests.
When Xu Ranyan saw the visitor, she threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged man and began to complain with tears.
"Okay, okay, it's okay." The middle-aged man comforted her lovingly.
"Meet father." Xu Guli said respectfully.
"Where are those retinues?" the middle-aged man said majestically.
"The children sent them away," Xu Guli said.
"Gu Li, why are you so soft-hearted? Haven't you learned enough about your sister? After such a big thing happened, they can still sleep in the brothel. It's really dereliction of duty." The middle-aged man was a little unhappy.
said.
"The child has already punished them."
"Well, if it hadn't been for the help of the benefactor you mentioned, Ran Shui would have fallen into the hands of Situ Feng, and you would have regretted it." The middle-aged man was not willing to blame Xu Guli. "By the way, where is our Ran Sui's benefactor?"
?”
"They left at noon." Xu Guli replied.
"Nothing about how you do things makes me completely satisfied."
"I've tried my best, kid, but if they want to leave, I can't tie them up with a rope, right?" Xu Guli felt a little aggrieved. He looked at his sister who was hiding behind his father. He winked at him and felt so hateful.
Ah, I usually treat her so well just so that I can stand up and say something fair for myself when my father scolds me, but now, I know how to hide behind my back and watch my own jokes.
"You are still reasonable."
Xu Guli simply chose to remain silent. Instead of defending himself, he just let him blame him enough. It wasn't the first time anyway.
"We will go home after we have settled the matter here. This Situ family is too unkind. We can't just sit back and wait for death if we allow this Situ Feng to mess around."
"Okay, okay." Xu Ranyan nodded vigorously from behind. She really didn't want to live such a life of fear. If, if, then she thought of that figure again, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush. It happened that her father turned his head.
See.
"Ran Shu, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red. Are you sick?" the middle-aged man said anxiously. It can be seen that he loves his daughter more than his son.
"It is true that he is ill, and the illness is not serious. It is difficult to cure with ordinary medicine." Xu Guli seized the opportunity and added insult to injury.
"You're the one who's sick!" Xu Ranyan gave her brother a big roll of her eyes.
"Is Ran Shu here?" At this time, a familiar voice sounded from outside the inn, both brother and sister.
"Why is she here?" Xu Guli muttered in his heart. He knew that the owner of the voice was Sun Sisi's voice. "Could it be that she can't get revenge from Chen Mo and is here to embarrass us?"
Xu Ranyan and her brother looked at each other and immediately responded: "Yes, yes."
After saying that, he went out to greet the guests.
