Chapter 104
An old man with white hair and a childlike face?
Standing at the door of the small restaurant at the foot of the mountain, Xue Yao carefully looked at every face passing by.
The ethnic minorities here are people in the territory of Daqi, and their appearance is not much different from that of the Han people. The only difference is that their eyes are relatively slender, and they don't have any magical appearance characteristics such as white hair and youthful face.
What's more, how could the little fat cub be with such a strange-looking old man?
According to what the old father knew about the cub, it was impossible for the cub to communicate with any stranger except for asking for food.
Even if the old man provided food, the cub would turn his face and deny anyone after eating, and would not just go with strangers like this.
Chubby Cub doesn't like spending long periods of time with strangers.
Because of his different way of thinking, Lu Qian’s behavior cannot be exactly the same as that of normal people, but this does not mean that he likes being different. In fact, strangers show surprise and discussion to him, whether it is malicious ridicule Whether he loves it with good intentions or not makes Lu Qian feel uncomfortable.
Xue Yao could feel it—every time there were a lot of people at the party, the familiar elders deliberately led Lu Qian to talk in a doting tone, and made use of the child's distinctive words and deeds to make the guests present roar with laughter.
This kind of behavior often makes the little fat cub freeze on the spot at a loss.
The chubby boy was worried that he would freeze when he behaved strangely, because he was called "fool" and "bad brain" by the third prince since he was a child, and the chubby boy subconsciously felt that he was out of tune with the surroundings, which was not a good thing.
Over the years, only Xue Yao patiently understood and got used to this chubby cub who was born different, and tried to live and communicate with the chubby cub's way of thinking, never mocking or trying to correct chubby cub like others Cub's strange behavior.
So Lu Qian usually likes to stay with Xue Yao more than with his mother and concubine and brothers.
This genius cub mistakenly believes that in this strange world, he only has a little friend, the only one of his kind.
Therefore, Xue Yao really couldn't imagine that the little fat cub would travel with strangers.
He planned to wait a day, and then search elsewhere.
The couple who pulled the camels did not wait with them, and Xue Yao sat alone under the arbor.
In the afternoon, the poisonous day was in full swing, and there was no one outside the restaurant.
Xue Yao, who was drowsy, suddenly heard a system prompt - lost 2 points of sense of security.
Xue Yao stood up suddenly in fright.
When he stood there, someone behind him was also frightened.
Almost at the same time, there was a muffled "plop" from behind.
Xue Yao turned his head vigilantly, and saw a dirty young man fall against the wall.
The boy raised his head and looked at Xue Yao, then suddenly got up and hid behind the firewood pile beside him.
Xue Yao recognized that boy as the milk thief he had redeemed.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked over cautiously and asked behind the firewood pile, "You didn't leave? Why did you follow me?"
The boy didn't seem to want to escape, but was hesitating, not knowing how to speak to his savior.
After a while, the boy poked his head out to look at Xue Yao, and replied in Chinese with an unusual tone: "I can't go."
Xue Yao felt that his accent was not right. Looking carefully, he found that the young man had a broad forehead and slender eyelids. He looked a bit like the locals, and he might not be Han Chinese.
"Why can't you leave? Where is your home?" Xue Yao asked him.
The young man looked at him for a long time, and said in a low voice: "On the grassland outside your territory, if you are willing to take me through the two garrison passes in front, my father will give you a lot of money."
Father? !
Xue Yao's mind went blank for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the boy's wrist, for fear that he would run away!
"You are the Khitan prince!" Xue Yao said anxiously.
The young man had nowhere to go, so he could only place his bet on this kind man, and nodded without any resistance.
"How did you escape!" Xue Yao asked anxiously.
"Your third prince wants to assassinate me." The young man straightened his back, did not break free from Xue Yao's hand, barely put on the air of a Khitan warrior, raised his chin and said: "A wise man let me go back, please Father, let your fifth prince go."
Xue Yao quickly figured out what happened—the third prince had already killed the envoy, so naturally he didn't intend to let go of the hostage.
Fortunately, the crown prince has already taken control of the situation. As long as he brings the Khitan prince back to the camp, the crown prince can make the decision and exchange hostages.
Xue Yao immediately said: "Don't worry, no one will kill you now, come back with me, we will immediately send envoys to take you across the river and exchange hostages."
"I can't go back." The young man stared at Xue Yao vigilantly: "I got rid of the pursuers only after escaping from the desert. Now I can only go out of Dongguan and return to the camp by detour, but I don't have a waist card, so I can't pass the garrison pass."
Xue Yao hurriedly explained: "Those who wanted to kill you are gone. I was also hunted down by them before, and now they are all under the control of our prince."
The boy's eyes lit up, and he said something in Khitan language: "Are you also a Khitan?"
Xue Yao didn't understand: "What?"
The boy's eyes dimmed again: "The people who chased and killed me are all there, they just changed into civilian clothes, and they have come to this village."
Startled, Xue Yao looked around vigilantly: "Where are they?"
The boy said: "In the village, you are also being targeted."
Xue Yao didn't believe it: "I've been wandering around this village for a day, and no one chased me down."
The boy said: "They follow you, as if they want to find someone else through you, so they don't arrest you. Because you didn't notice, they let down their vigilance. I will follow you and protect you. There are only two of them, and many will come soon. People, we can't escape."
Xue Yao's heart rose to his throat when he heard this.
I have been busy looking for the Seventh Prince these days, but I haven't returned to the camp to check the specific situation. Could it be that the Third Prince is planning to secretly get rid of the Seventh Prince?
The emperor established a new crown prince, the crown prince may not be able to ascend the throne in a legitimate way, and the third prince may still be ruthless.
Xue Yao was caught in a dilemma. If, as the young man said, the third prince's people had infiltrated the village in disguise, he would definitely be murdered on the way back to the camp with the young man.
But what if the Khitan prince fails to keep his promise if he helps the Khitan prince get out of customs?
The young man seemed to see his worry, and offered to propose: "As long as you send me through the border, I can give you letters and tokens, and you give these to the patrol soldiers, and they will take you to see the envoy. Let your prince go first, and then return to shore safely, and then let me go."
Xue Yao hesitated.
"Do you want to watch your Fifth Prince die in the enemy camp?" The young man threatened in a low voice, "There is no time."
"Man, hurry up!" Old man Xu croaked around Lu Qian all morning: "You promised to worship us as teachers, and we will immediately rescue your fifth brother back!"
"My lord is going back to the palace." His Highness sat in the armchair, unmoved.
"What's the point of you nesting in the small world of the imperial palace all day long? To the south of Baixing Mountain, there are mostly waterfalls and rivers, and to the north is a vast grassland. How can it compare to your little dragon's nest?"
"There are no maids here." His Highness didn't understand how to live in the mountains, but these two old men asked His Highness to learn martial arts before they could leave the mountain.
"You have hands and feet, do you need others to take care of you? How comfortable you are to take care of yourself? And we can also take care of each other. The old man's massage skills are the best in the world. You can't enjoy this kind of care in the palace!" As Old Man Xu said, he winked at the Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut had a tacit understanding, and immediately ran to the side of the couch, and lay down face down.
"Boy, look!" Old man Xu walked to the side of the Juggernaut, rolled up his sleeves, raised his palms luckily, and demonstrated his unique massage skills on the spot!
"Hmm... oh!" The Juggernaut had a rare chance to enjoy the divine massage skills of the head of the Qinglong School, and immediately fell into a state of ecstasy.
"Is the strength okay?" Master Xu asked intimately while massaging.
"Very good." The Juggernaut turned his head and smiled approvingly at Master Xu.
Head Xu nodded like a spring breeze, and then secretly turned his head to see if the little prince behind him was greedy...
Lu Qian's usually expressionless little face was wrinkled into a ball at this moment!
It's as if seeing the concubine picking her feet in front of her, it hurts so much!
In Yaoyao's story, the sword master, who was as ethereal as a fairy and did not stir up dust, was completely shattered in the eyes of His Highness at this moment!
"What kind of expression do you have!" Master Xu sensed something was wrong, and turned around to question the brat.
"Don't stop, keep going." The Juggernaut tugged at the hem of Old Man Xu's clothes, and looked at the "Tuina Master" expectantly.
The old man Xu clicked his lips, and turned around impatiently and a little proudly: "Here we come, I'm in a hurry."
Lu Qian frowned, and finally realized that something was wrong.
"Uncle Xu, are you the wife of the Juggernaut?" His Highness asked.
Yaoyao said that as long as she married the princess, she would be able to stay with her forever.
The mother and concubine are also so gentle when rubbing the shoulders of the father.
His Highness has never seen anyone marrying a male princess before, but today he finally saw it.
however.
This question.
The two old men froze into clay sculptures.
The next moment, the two old men jumped away to both sides at the same time, brushing away the traces left by each other on their bodies with disgust!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old man Xu was furious: "If you dare to talk nonsense, even if you are an apprentice, I will beat you!"
"Aren't you husband and wife?" His Highness tilted his head.
"Of course not! You silly boy!" Old man Xu was 1 dissatisfied: "Even if we are husband and wife, I should be the husband! What kind of eyes do you have!"
With a "boom", old man Xu was kicked away by the sword master on the couch.
The Juggernaut turned around and stood up gracefully, with a cold look on his face, he despised the head of Xu: "What kind of husband are you? The children can see it, you can only be the wife of the deity."
"Your uncle!" Old man Xu picked up his crutches and started the daily rivalry time.
His Highness tilted his head in amazement as he watched the two old men fight all the way from the house to the outside, "fighting is kissing, scolding or loving".
In the past, when the mother and concubine beat the father, it was always a light push with a small powder fist.
The two peerless masters are just different, the husband and wife are coquettish and both fly to the sky and hide from the earth.
There was a loud "bang", and the Juggernaut threw a "little powder fist", which knocked the head of "little wife" Xu down the tree.
His Highness's eyes were shining, and he suddenly felt that life in this mountain forest was very novel, much more interesting than in the palace.
Xue Yao took the Khitan prince through the two garrison passes by using the general's pass, and rushed to Hexi the next evening, found a boatman at the ferry, and went to the other side of the river.
Hurrying along the way, and finally sitting on the boat for a while, Xue Yao realized that the eyes of the Khitan boy were bloodshot, and his lips were chapped and bleeding.
Xue Yao hurriedly took out the flavored milk and pastries he had prepared for the chubby boy from his luggage, to satisfy the boy's thirst and hunger.
As soon as the Khitan boy took the food, his expression suddenly froze.
Xue Yao was taken aback by his eyes, and just about to speak, he realized that the young man's gaze was not on his face, but behind him.
"Don't look back." The Khitan boy lowered his head and told Xue Yao in a low voice, "The boat with officers and soldiers is coming."
