Meeting the little girl's questioning eyes, Cheng Zhe nodded at her, then took her hand and knelt down, and the two bowed their heads to Nangong Yue seriously.
"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life..."
Pomegranate made a milky voice, and she was still a little dazed, not knowing what happened. The last memory was still that she and brother Zhe were locked in the cellar. At first, brother Zhe didn't allow her to scream... Later, how did they shout No matter what it was called, no one opened the cellar.
She was very hungry, very hungry, but fortunately brother Zhe was with her.
When she opened her eyes again, she came to this place. Brother Zhe told her that mother had gone far away, and there would be only the two of them in the future; brother Zhe said that it was this young man who rescued them from the cellar.
After kowtowing, the two children stood up, and Lily said happily to Nangong Yue: "My lord, Ah Zhe has agreed to be the servant's apprentice..." As she spoke, she proudly puffed out her chest, her expression seemed to say , she is also a person with apprentices.
Slave, what she meant... Cheng Zhe's expression froze for a moment, and he looked at Lily in disbelief, who was dressed in a blue dress and looked heroic. She turned out to be a woman disguised as a man
He wants a female master? !
After a brief shock, Cheng Zhe calmed down again.
It doesn't matter if the other party is a man or a woman, the key is that she is willing to accept herself and pomegranate, she can change the fate of herself and pomegranate...
A stick of incense ago, when Lily asked Cheng Zhe if he wanted to worship her as a teacher, Cheng Zhe hesitated. Although both his parents died, he was not without relatives and reasons. He also had an aunt who married to a neighboring town. He has always been close, and he is confident that his aunt will take him in, but what about Pomegranate
My aunt's family has no relatives and no reason for pomegranate, so why take in pomegranate
Furthermore...
When Cheng Zhe thought of something, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, thinking of the scene of corpses strewn all over the village in his mind, it was like hell. At that time, the guard told him not to watch, but he still watched, he wanted to remember that scene forever, remember his own powerlessness...
He wants to be strong, he wants to be like these people, he will no longer be so helpless, he can only pray to others to save himself!
Cheng Zhe's eyes became extremely determined, without any hesitation.
Baihui glanced at the two children, and she knew that little pomegranate was stupid and didn't hear the problem at all, but Cheng Zhe's expression had changed several times.
Hey, this Lily slipped her tongue, but she didn't realize it.
The corners of Baihui's eyes twitched, and she said helplessly: That's fine. Anyway, these two children are already going to follow Lily, and they will know sooner or later.
Lily continued to say from the side: "However, he still has to go to Zu'an Town to meet his aunt, and report to the aunt's family that he is safe... The servant wants to leave him and pomegranate here temporarily, please take care of Captain Mo." Another reason why Cheng Zhe and Shiliu were left here is because of the Chengjia Village case. Cheng Zhe and Shiliu are the orphans of the village, and Cheng Zhe is an important witness. We have to wait for this matter, for their family It's over, let's move on...
When she heard that Cheng Zhe had relatives but chose to follow Baihe, Nangong Yue was a little surprised and looked at Cheng Zhe again.
She originally thought that this child had a strong heart, but Lily said that he was a good seedling, and it would be great if he could achieve a relationship between a master and an apprentice. But having to do it is a different state of mind than choosing to do it yourself. Maybe this kid can really do something...
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and said: "That's fine. We're going to Yanding City, and we've been exhausted all the way. These two children are still weak, so they can take care of themselves by staying here. When we come back, come pick them up again." They are."
After a pause, she said again: "Lily, it's rare that you have accepted an apprentice. When we return to Luoyue City in the future, we will formally hold a small teacher apprentice banquet. The world and I..." She almost said that , but stopped the words, coughed dryly, and continued, "How about I give Cheng Zhe a sword?"
Baihui, Lily and Huamei at the side naturally heard it, and the three maids couldn't help exchanging a look, Lily and Huamei covered their mouths and smiled.
Cheng Zhe is a perceptive child, he feels something is wrong, but he doesn't know why. He knew his identity, looked up without curiosity, and stood aside with lowered eyes.
Lily stopped laughing, clasped her fists boldly and said, "The servant has thanked the two young masters." Then, she greeted Cheng Zhe, "A Zhe, you haven't come to thank the young master, the things the young master sent It must be something good!"
"Thank you, young master." Cheng Zhe thanked him with cupped fists in a respectful manner.
Shiliu also foolishly imitated Cheng Zhe's clasped fists, doing so made everyone in the room laugh.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Since Pomegranate has thanked you, I will naturally give you a meeting gift."
Huamei took out a safety button and gave it to the silly little girl, but Baihui shook her head helplessly, this girl was not as calm as her apprentice.
Everyone chatted and laughed again, and Lily said goodbye: "My lord, slave girl and Alan go to settle down the two children first."
Hearing Lily's intimacy when she mentioned Alan's name, Cheng Zhe suddenly thought of something, his master is a woman, could it be...
Thinking about it, Cheng Zhe's eyes quickly wandered between Baihe and Ren Zinan. No wonder he felt that the relationship between the two seemed a little too close. He thought it was because they were brothers... Now It seems that these two people have that kind of relationship
Cheng Zhe took Shiliu's little hand, followed Baihe and Ren Zinan out of the room with a strange expression.
The room became quiet again. Nangong Yue rode a horse for a long time today, and encountered such a thrilling thing again. Her spirit was in a state of high tension. Now she was completely relaxed, and her tiredness was like a tide.
She yawned lazily and simply took a break early.
In two days, we will arrive at Yanding City!
We can see Ayi now...
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she fell asleep sweetly.
In the dream, there is Ayi, mother, father, brother, and grandfather... Although she doesn't know where she is, it's good to have them, no matter where she is, as long as her most important person is by her side Beside, safe, healthy, happy, then everything is fine!
…
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, except for Mo Xiuyu and two hundred soldiers who stayed at the station, the others set off again.
It's just that a subtle change took place in the atmosphere of this team overnight.
Before, those soldiers only disapproved of this delicate "Young Master Xiao", even with a little resistance, disdain and contempt, but after what happened yesterday, they knew the tragedy in Chengjia Village, and many soldiers witnessed it. Although he was besieged by hundreds of people, he showed no fear in the face of danger, and finally he did not embarrass the palace and the old prince.
This young master finally has some merits!
Zhou Dacheng naturally felt this change, but he didn't say anything.
Instead of using words to "strongly" persuade others to accept, it is better to let them witness the feelings, the days are still long...
Zhou Dacheng's heart was bright and refreshed, as long as he thought of that silver mine, he would be overjoyed. He had already sent a letter to the Shizi to inform the Shizi about this last night, and the Shizi must have received the news soon!
"drive!"
He waved his whip vigorously and galloped out at the head of the horse.
Tread Tread...
Hundreds of horses galloped with all their strength on the official road. This time, the journey was smooth, and they set off in the morning and camped in the evening.
On the third day of November, Nangong Yue and his party finally arrived at Yanding City.
It was not yet noon.
Arriving at the familiar land, Xiao Hui let out a resonant eagle cry, and flew into the city first.
Even though Zhou Dacheng and his party had visited Yanding City several times, they still showed the token to the captain of the city gate as usual, and the gate of Yanding City slowly opened to the distance that a carriage could pass through.
Zhou Dacheng led the team, and the soldiers guarded the two carriages in the middle, and entered Yanding City.
Nangong Yue was still dressed in men's clothes, riding on the horse, looking around.
Along the way, the closer you get to these four cities, the more depressed you will be, especially after entering the boundary of Yanding City, even the air seems to be filled with desolation. Although the traces of the war have been cleaned up, there is always There is a faint bloody smell lingering in the nasal cavity.
It has been more than two months since Yanding City was taken back, but one wonders how desolate the city was when it was occupied by Nanliang people.
