From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 692

In the middle of the night, Zhou Yuan and others were busy burying the body and covering it with branches, which was considered to be a barely escaped disaster.

But the reality is obviously not so optimistic. Zhou Yuan estimated that at most three or four days, the other party would find something wrong if they couldn't find the person, and then they would face a full-scale wanted list.

"We have to leave overnight."

Zhou Yuan looked at Li Song and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, if you leave with us, will those Miao soldiers come back and take revenge on the villagers?"

Li Song raised his eyebrows and said: "No, they are not so crazy. No matter how confused the Miao soldiers are, they will not point their knives at their own people."

"That's good."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then we have to leave now, and we need you to lead the way and take us to where we should go. You should know where we are going."

Li Song sighed and said: "I know, I have been in Shuixi for so many years, and I also know some old friends. Their ideas are similar to mine."

"But Mr. Ye, I can take you to see them, and even have the hope of persuading them, but... can you make the decision?"

He was obviously a little worried, and said bitterly: "I don't know your identity, and I take you to see those old friends. What if you are an enemy..."

This worry is of course reasonable.

Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, took out a token from his arms, and said, "Let's see what this is!"

The gold medal made of pure gold is engraved with an inscription, and five golden dragons are entwined, which is magnificent and noble.

Wang Ang smiled and said, "Grandpa Li Song, this is a gold medal personally bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen. Not to mention that it is useful in local areas, it is also easy to enter and exit the palace. The princes and ministers must kowtow when they see it."

Li Song trembled, knelt down quickly, and said anxiously, "I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zhou Yuan helped him up and said slowly, "Grandpa, do you believe that I can make the decision now? I came all the way from Shenjing to Miao Village just to find a way out for my fellow Miao people."

"You must cooperate well, because you are responsible for the entire Miao, Yi, and Dong people in the southwest. The future of the tribe."

"If we fail this time, we will leave. The next time, it will not be the four of us, but thousands of troops."

"By then, Shuixi will probably be a river of blood."

Li Song trembled a few times and said hurriedly: "It will definitely work. We Miao people don't like fighting either. We were just deceived by the chieftain."

"I'll take you to Huaixi Village! Brother Shi Hai and I are the same over there. Let's go!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then set off overnight to the so-called Huaixi Village.

Li Song said that Yuequan Village was not far from Huaixi Village, only three or four miles away, but this was a mountain road, it was dark, and the trees were lush, so it was really difficult to walk.

Old Bear couldn't help complaining: "If I had a sword, I could have cut through the thorns and made a way. It's really torture to walk like this now."

Li Song sighed: "These are our old roads, which are always cleared. In fact, they are not difficult to walk. The key is that people have not been going up the mountain much in the past two years. They are all concerned about fighting, and these branches have blocked the road."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. We walk slowly. Even if we walk slowly, we can still get there before dawn."

Zhou Yuan didn't expect that his words would come true. He walked three or four miles in the dark until dawn.

The main reason is that Wang Ang is too stupid. He stepped on the air and fell flat on his face. He rolled down the cliff and stopped by grabbing a tree.

"Damn it! I am agile after all, but I didn't expect to fall in such a place!"

Old Wang felt ashamed of this.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Stop complaining and look ahead."

Everyone looked up and saw the red sun rising, the morning glow filled the sky, the whole east was red, the mountains and forests were dyed red, countless rays of light shuttled through the woods, flocks of birds flew up, and then swooped into the forest in an instant.

This beautiful scene made everyone stunned.

"The east is red, the sun is rising."

Zhou Yuan murmured to himself, and couldn't help thinking that there were also people crossing these mountains and forests, walking on muddy roads, doing the greatest things in the world.

He had a surge of passion in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "The Five Ridges are winding and surging, and the Wumeng Mountains are majestic and muddy. What are these mountain roads? We still have a long way to go, and we will never stop here."

Everyone didn't understand where his surging came from, but seeing him so confident, they couldn't help but feel less frustrated.

Everyone walked down the mountain and finally saw rows of locust trees, with streams passing under them. The water was clear and the scenery was very good.

Li Song smiled and said, "There are hundreds of households in Huaixi Village, which is considered a large village. Brother Shi Hai is two years older than me, and he is very disappointed with the younger generation now."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's goMeet him and see his attitude. "

Lao Xiong frowned and said, "There are hundreds of households, but this village is too quiet. I didn't see anyone."

This sentence made Zhou Yuan's heart tremble slightly. He looked around carefully and said in a deep voice, "No, there is a problem here. Turn back."

As soon as the voice fell, a dense group of Miao soldiers appeared on the mountain road behind, holding machetes and shouting.

Wang Ang couldn't help stamping his feet and said, "Oh no, they must have found those bodies."

Zhou Yuan said, "Grandpa Li Song, if they found the bodies, would they notify Huaixi Village so quickly?"

Li Song hurriedly said, "Of course, they are much faster than us by boat. We walk slowly and dare not light torches."

Lao Xiong panicked and said solemnly, "Sir, we have to withdraw. If the other side has more people, I'm afraid something big will happen. "

Wang Ang also hurriedly said: "Yes, if you fail here, His Majesty will probably kill all the Miao people."

Li Song was so scared that his legs went limp, and he hurriedly said: "Follow me! I know there is a hiding place in the village! I have friends!"

The Miao soldiers behind had already caught up. There were mountains on one side and rivers on the other. Zhou Yuan and others had no choice but to rush into the village.

Cai Ni's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she said coldly: "They dare to come! I will kill them all!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Yuan grabbed her hand, not daring to let her run around, and followed Li Song forward.

Every household in the village had its door closed, obviously having received the notice, and a team of Miao soldiers also rushed out of the narrow alley, shouting.

"Here! They are here! "

People were rushing in from all directions, making Xiong Kuohai and Wang Ang look extremely solemn. If the great general of the army of the Great Jin Dynasty was defeated here, it would be really over.

Old Xiong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "No! Old Wang, we have to help the adults block two groups of people, otherwise the adults will have no chance to escape."

Wang Ang growled: "No problem, I will take care of the back and you will take care of the side."

In the narrow village between the houses, both of them were ready to sacrifice.

Zhou Yuan said: "Why panic! It's not time to die yet, keep running forward!"

He looked around and said in a serious voice: "Follow me!"

He took Cai Ni and rushed forward first, followed by Xiong Kuohai.

Li Song said anxiously: "Not in that direction!"

"Just go if I tell you to go! "

Wang Ang grabbed his wrist and quickly followed.

Arriving at a stilt house, Zhou Yuan went straight up and shouted, "Open the door, open the door!"

A voice came from inside: "Is it Mr. Mei?"

Zhou Yuan said anxiously: "Don't say slogans at this time, it's too late."

The voice inside was full of jokes, and he didn't open the door, but just smiled and said, "Sorry, we don't welcome people with the surname Mei here."

Zhou Yuan said, "Okay, yes, I am Mr. Mei."

The voice inside said, "Mr. Mei, do you want to see a doctor?"

Zhou Yuan said anxiously, "Yes, my butt is rotten, and I need a cowherd to help."

"Then come in."

The door finally opened, and a pretty face appeared, giggling, "Long time no see, little junior brother."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Quick! Come in! "

After everyone entered the house and the door was tightly closed, Zhou Yuan felt relieved.

Only then did he look at the pretty girl, looked her up and down, and grinned, "Second Senior Sister, you look so good in this dress!"

"Hmph!"

Cai Ni made a dissatisfied sound behind her.

Ye Qingying looked at Zhou Yuan meaningfully and said, "What's going on? How come our Great Jin's God of War is like a street rat when he arrives at the Miao Village, being chased around everywhere."

Zhou Yuan ignored her teasing and hugged her directly, whispering, "Second Senior Sister, Junior Brother misses you so much. "

The smile on Ye Qingying's face suddenly became stiff, and her body was a little stiff.

She didn't expect Zhou Yuan to do this, and she stuttered for a while: "You, you don't... this... hey... okay, okay..."

She couldn't figure out whether Zhou Yuan was deliberately taking advantage, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for almost two years, so a hug seemed to be the right thing to do.

Ah! Damn it! Where is his hand touching!

Ye Qingying was extremely angry and said in a low voice: "Take your hand away, or I'll throw you out. "
