"I heard that you were rescued by Ding Peng?"
We just happened to have a chat tonight, Zhao Yan asked casually.
After giving Zhao Min a share of the money from his own pocket, the other party also responded with dignity.
"Uncle Ding fought off the people who were chasing me, but that wasn't life-saving."
"It's the person my father sent to take me back..."
Zhao Min quietly left the palace and headed south.
Thanks to his pretty good disguise, his whereabouts were not discovered when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty.
But as she got further and further away, more and more clues were revealed to her.
For example, all the expenses were made of silver engraved with the seal of Ruyang Prince's Palace.
The eating habits on the road were also different from those of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Soon after, people from the palace discovered his traces and followed him.
Fortunately, Zhao Min knew a little bit about the art of tracking. Relying on various confusions based on a little knowledge, she was actually caught up for the first time when she ran to the border between Ming Kingdom and Dali.
But when people from the palace surrounded her, she happened to be met by Ding Peng who was going up the mountain to hunt. After a quick move, he took her back to Qixia Town.
He didn't care whether those people in the palace who passed out on the mountain would be eaten by wolves.
"Then you ran away from home just to avoid marrying me?"
"But I heard from the emperor that you are not the most advocating martial arts person?"
Zhao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing her tell the whole story.
Unexpectedly, the two of them, one going west and the other south, ended up together.
"Those are all clichés from Meng Yuan women. In such a big environment, I, a noble princess, can't say that I like a weak scholar, right?"
"What's more...although you are talented, you are an out-and-out pervert!"
"From now on, there will definitely be countless women in Prince Qi's palace. I won't share the same husband with anyone!"
Zhao Min said confidently.
Although she said something tough, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
At least now she glanced at Zhao Yan secretly, and turned her head hurriedly when she saw him looking over.
"Just in time, I want to marry at least a dozen people. You definitely can't take the position of princess. Let's go and cancel the marriage after we get out!"
Zhao Yan's expression of "Thank you for letting me go" instantly aroused Zhao Min's desire to win.
"Hmph, I still want to marry a dozen more. Let's go out first. Otherwise, we will only be able to marry a few widows!"
"My father will definitely send someone to rescue me if he knows I am here. There is no need for Qixia Town to go against the Ruyang Palace for me, right?"
not necessarily…
Zhao Yan added in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Min had made a mistake in estimating the true strength of Qixia Town, but he was too lazy to explain to her.
"You are different. When I went south, I heard that the royal brothers of the Song Dynasty are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are wary of each other. Your royal brother is probably eager to have you trapped here!"
After saying that, Zhao Min glanced at him proudly.
Just her words also caused Zhao Yan to remain silent.
These days, he deliberately avoided this question, but he didn't expect that there had been such rumors from the outside world for a long time.
Seeing Zhao Yan's silent expression, Zhao Min felt a little guilty because she thought he had poked a sore spot in him.
"sorry…"
"I...I'm going back first!"
As soon as he apologized, Zhao Min seemed to feel that this was too lackluster, so he trotted away in a panic.
It actually made Zhao Yan smile.
In the days to come, life in Qixia Town will be as usual.
The only difference is that the story of Journey to the West is spread everywhere in the town, and women from all walks of life are vying for the opportunity to go to Xuanji Tower to listen to the book.
There's no way around it, there are only so many spots, and you won't be able to squeeze in if you don't grab one in advance.
So the women with strong martial arts took the upper hand.
And Zhao Yan was loved by all the women with his happy stories, handsome face and lovable eloquence.
Seeing him becoming more and more popular, Zhao Min felt mixed emotions. He should be happy, but in fact he was a little bitter.
Lianxing comes to listen to books every day, and the love in her eyes becomes more and more intense.
Three days later, Zhao Yan used half of the small tickets he earned recently to exchange for the right to live in a small courtyard in Xuanji Building.
Finally settled down in Qixia Town.
But as soon as he stepped into the gate of the small courtyard, a clerk came running to inform him, shouting.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao!"
"You have a visitor at Taniguchi..."
"Go quickly..."
Visitor?
Zhao Yan was curious about who this unknown visitor was, so he took out a few small tickets from his sleeves and threw them over as a reward, then jumped to the mouth of the valley amidst the thanks from the clerk.
Since Qixia Town is located on both sides of the rift valley, and there is a large waterfall upstream, the valley mouth in the mouth of the official usually refers to the entrance to the downstream.
There is a long corridor leading to the town.
At the entrance of the valley, there is a long resting pavilion built on the right side of the archway with five pillars and three doors.
When Zhao Yan came to the entrance of the valley, he saw the familiar faces waiting under the archway, and his eyes suddenly burst into surprise.
Everyone under the archway also saw him coming in a hurry.
"Brother Yan!"
Two figures, one large and one small, ran towards him.
Zhao Yan hugged Wang Yuyan happily, then lowered his body to hug Xiao Longnu and let her hang around his neck.
Although he didn't know why Xiao Longnu was so dependent on him, the little guy's arms around his neck were really strong.
"Why are you here?"
He pressed closely against Wang Yuyan's pretty face and asked warmly.
Not far away, Ming Yan watched this scene with relief. Li Mochou was a little annoyed, but she also knew that she didn't have this position.
Li Qingluo was relieved with a hint of inexplicable relief, while Huang Rong was the calmest and felt that this was a matter of course.
"Yan'er misses you..."
There was sadness in Wang Yuyan's voice, but more of it was the joy of meeting each other.
She expressed her thoughts sincerely, and the little dragon girl on the side followed the same example, raised her head and said seriously:
"Long'er misses you too!"
"Well, brother misses Long'er too."
Zhao Yan pressed his forehead against Xiao Longnu's smooth forehead, making the latter giggle.
This scene made Xiao Longnu’s master feel dazzled, and she asked dissatisfiedly:
"Who is this person? Why is Long'er so close to him?"
"Uh...Miss, I don't know either."
Grandma Sun was sweating profusely when asked, so she had to pretend to be dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the young lady took the old man Tianji's face into consideration and did not get angry, which actually made her sigh in relief.
"How did Long'er get here?"
Zhao Yan could understand that Wang Yuyan and the others would come to Qixia Town, but Xiao Longnu and his party actually abandoned the ancient tomb, which surprised him greatly.
"There are a lot of bad guys in the ancient tomb. I heard from the old man that those people are here to capture Senior Sister and Long Er. Master couldn't defeat those people, so he brought Long Er here!"
"Old man?"
Zhao Yan raised his head and searched the crowd, only to find an old man holding a long, bright green stick.
Beside him stood a beautiful girl and a handsome young man.
Old Man Tianji?
In an instant, the old man's identity flashed through Zhao Yan's mind.
