To the east of Quzhou is the State of Tang and to the south is the State of Chu. The Shang State and the Tang State are still in the honeymoon period. The two countries are still flirting with each other and making secret glances. Without Shang and Chu, half of their faces have been torn apart.
To the west of Quzhou is Langzhou, where Ziyun Mountain is located; to the north is Yuzhou, a prosperous state in the Shang Kingdom.
Xiaomu Town is located in the south of Yuzhou, close to Quzhou, and is also one of the important gateways between the two places, so it is larger and more prosperous than ordinary towns.
There are quite a lot of people coming and going here during this period. Locals often see some new faces. Smart businessmen will target these new faces and take advantage of them to make a profit. Anyway, these people will not be seen after meeting them once.
The second time.
At dusk, far away on the road outside the small town, two horses slowly walked towards the small town. On the horses were two young people, a man and a woman. They were not dressed like a young master and a daughter from a wealthy family, nor were they
The kind of poor people who are full of patches.
The man was wearing dark clothes and carrying two bags, one large and one small, on his back. His body was upright and would not sway due to the bumps of the horse. The woman who was very close to him was just wearing ordinary girlish clothes.
It couldn't hide her graceful figure, soft hair, and smart eyes. Unfortunately, half of her face was blocked by a piece of black sand. It was precisely because of this that it gave more people's imagination. This
How beautiful is a woman?
In a small tea shop next to the road in Xiaomu Town at dusk, a young waiter, who looked about eleven or twelve years old, was busy cleaning the small tea shop and preparing to close the shop, while the boss was settling the accounts.
with today’s income.
Chen Mo and the other two rode horses to the only tea shop in front of the town that had not closed its stall, and asked, "Little sister, is there anything to eat?"
"I'm not a little sister." The waiter in the shop replied childishly.
"Yes, yes, yes." The store owner immediately put down the work at hand, ran over, and grabbed the not very sensible store waiter, who was also his daughter.
Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, then reached out to help the woman who was traveling with him off the horse.
When the boss saw the man dismounting, he naturally went to lead the horse, and then said: "There are only some food left for sale. If the guests don't mind, the smaller ones can be sold to you two at a cheaper price."
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded. He also knew that at this time, there are no good things left in such small tea shops. People who come to the town now will choose to go into the town to have a meal and find a place by the way.
Spend the night at a cheap inn.
"Nizi, quickly take the guests to their seats." The boss glared at his daughter who was still leaning there.
The waiter snorted, as if she didn't like people treating her as a girl, but she was just a girl.
Chen Mo and Chen Mo sat down at a table. The waiter, who was not very young but not too young, reluctantly went to prepare food.
"I'm sorry, two guests. Children are immature. Please forgive me." After the shop owner settled the horses of the two guests, he apologized for his daughter who had a little temper after helping him all day.
Chen Mo waved his hand and told him to go ahead. He placed two cups that looked very clean. He put one in front of the woman and the other in front of himself. He picked up the small teapot and wondered if the tea in it still had any taste.
The woman poured a glass and also poured herself a glass.
"Aren't we going to continue on our way?" the woman said. They had walked leisurely for three days since they left the sparsely populated road last time.
"I'm hungry." Chen Mo replied calmly. "Don't endure the pain."
When the woman heard what he said, her cheeks under the black veil blushed slightly and she said, "You can bear it."
"We still have a long way to go. If you don't take a break, you won't be able to hold on."
The woman did not speak. At this time, Chen Mo had to do whatever he wanted.
Fighting for three days. Chen Mo drank tea and thought deeply.
The woman drank the tea which had no taste and was almost the same as cold boiled tea. She glanced at Chen Mo who was thinking. This young man who was about the same age as her had a calmness beyond his years.
During these three days of getting along, she learned that his name was Chen Mo, a pawn who used to be a soldier of Tiger Hill Fort. She had never heard of Tiger Hill Fort before, but news of their feats came back to Shuozhou, making her pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives to achieve success.
There are some reflections of justice, and Tiger Hill Castle is just one of them, and it is also one of the most tragic.
It stands to reason that he should have been in the war in the late spring, but at this time he appeared in the Shang Kingdom. According to what he said, he escaped, but he escaped in the wrong direction and entered the Shang Kingdom by mistake. Now he just wants to
How could he go back? She naively believed him. Otherwise, how could he know the King of Border Guards and even himself so well, and wouldn't work so hard to save her.
"How did you recognize me?" After Jiang Nu got familiar with Chen Mo, he remembered that Chen Mo recognized her as Princess Anyang.
"You look a bit like him."
"Do you know my brother?" When Chen Mo said this, Jiang Nu asked.
"I don't know him, but I met him once."
"Where?"
"Shuozhou Fengcheng, you don't need to test me anymore."
She didn't feel embarrassed when Chen Mo exposed her intentions, she just kept silent. Chen was right, she just wanted to confirm more whether Chen Mo was from Chu country.
After a while, the waiter from the small shop brought some leftovers to eat. Although it was not the leftovers from the guests, it was the leftovers from cooking. Chen Mo didn't mind that it came from that.
For him, as long as it can fill his stomach.
Jiang Yuan took off her veil, revealing her stunning face. Even if she changed into a very ordinary dress now, it could not hide her natural beauty. Chen Mo once thought about using mud to muddy her a little.
After thinking about it, I decided to cover it with a veil.
"Wow~" The second store manager couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Jiang Nu's plastic surgery. "Sister, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Nu smiled and said nothing, which made the waiter in the shop even more infatuated and stared at her closely.
After being born into a powerful family, she was really hungry, so she did not reject these things that she had never seen before. She slowly started to taste them, and they tasted good.
"Girl, what are you doing? Come back quickly." The boss not far away glanced at this unremarkable woman, and then looked at her in an honest and dull manner, for fear of causing trouble. It's not like this has never happened before.
I have seen, in the past, the top martial arts heroes in his shop, thinking they had some skills, would try their best to look at other people's pretty young ladies. Most of these people will not end well.
It was enough to take one look at him, so he immediately looked away and called the tomboy's daughter back. He was also envious of that young man for having such a beautiful girl to accompany him on his sightseeing tours, but he didn't know if it would bring trouble, because he
I have heard a word: beauty is a disaster.
Maybe he really wanted to be afraid of something. He wanted to close the stall early today and go home with some food and his daughter, but someone didn't want him to go home.
Four or five more men who looked evil in the eyes of the boss came and stopped in front of the small tea shop that was about to close its stall. Originally, they didn't care about such a small shabby shop. There were many better ones in the town, but they had to.
Reason for dismounting.
"Boss, let's get some food." A big man shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that the boss here didn't hear him.
"Ah, here, ladies and gentlemen." The shop owner said nervously and awkwardly as he put his daughter behind him outside. "The shop is sold out and is about to close. Why don't you guys go to the town and look for somewhere else?"
"No more?" the big man asked, then he looked at the tables with customers in the shop and said happily: "Hey, isn't this there?"
The boss was not allowed to speak, and the five people walked towards the table where Chen Mo was sitting.
Jiang Nu frowned slightly: Aren't these the rude strong men he met on the road this morning? At that time, they were teasing the two of them, riding around them on horseback, and did not do anything extraordinary to them.
, then walked away.
Having seen Chen Mo reach out, she was not too worried about what those people would do to the two of them. Chen Mo was also indifferent to their teasing at that time, perhaps because he did not want to expose his whereabouts.
At this time, the five of them came towards them, and they did it without any explanation. They saw people sitting on the left and right next to Chen Mo. The bench, which was not big in the first place, seemed quite crowded with three people sitting on it.
They all made a "squeaking" sound as they sat, as if they were groaning under the weight of their bodies.
The other three people each moved in one direction, and one of them was sitting next to Jiang Nu. Jiang Nu moved a little, distanced himself from the big man, and looked at Chen Mo, who was being flanked on both sides.
"Oh, she is indeed a beautiful woman. Let's meet again."
Several big men couldn't help but swallowed when they looked at Jiang Nu who had taken off his veil.
"Ah, how could a fairy like you eat these things? Isn't this a sin?" As he said this, a big man used his thick fingers to turn over the food on the table.
At this time, Chen Mo just stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the things on the plate, but when they did this, the chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
"I'm so sorry. I forgot that this little brother is still eating. I'm sorry, little brother. Why don't we brothers invite you into the town for a meal to keep us company?" Although he was full of apologies, but
There is no trace of sincerity on his face.
The chopsticks in Chen Mo's hand paused for a while, and then he continued to pick up the food that had been knocked over on the table in the slightly surprised eyes of several people, without any change in expression on his face.
"Turns out he is a bitch."
The big man laughed at him. In their eyes, Chen Mo was a coward. He was so humiliated and didn't show any anger at all.
"Girl, look, what kind of people are you following? They are just skinny and soft. Under the skin, there are soft bones. It is really wronging for you to follow such a man. Girl, why don't you follow these brothers and lead them?"
Take the girl to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, there is no need to eat these dogs here to make them hungry."
With that said, the man sitting next to Jiang Nu put his arms around Jiang Nu's shoulders, causing his eyes to shine brightly, which made several people envious.
"Let me go." Jiang Nu twisted a few times, but did not break free. Instead, he glanced at Chen Mo. The meaning in his eyes was like: What are you doing? Are you being bullied by these people like this? You promised to keep me safe.
Are you going back safe and sound?
Chen Mo remained indifferent.
At this time, a voice filled with a sense of justice appeared: "A bold maniac, how dare you commit shameless acts in broad daylight."
"Girl, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I won't let these young men touch my girl at all."
