"Ma'am, this is the medicinal soup that the kitchen made for you today."
As soon as Gu Xiyu got up and opened the door, someone thoughtfully brought him medicine. It's just that Xia Qiu was in charge of this matter from the very beginning, and then somehow it became Chen Wei.
The dignified 'second village owner' personally came to deliver medicine to himself, probably because the village owner's orders were more important than everything else, Gu Xiyu thought.
He glanced at the dark-brown medicinal soup on the table, and his heart had not been disturbed from the rejection at the beginning to the present.
In fact, I prefer the sweet and sour taste to Gu Xiyu, but I was not used to it when I first came to this world.
Now - the sense of taste is probably almost immune to bitter words.
The amount of medicine he drank could not have been so heavy, but after feeling much better a few days ago, he accidentally stayed outside for too long. When he woke up the next day, his headache and cough became worse.
To this day, I still remember the doctor looking at him as if he was looking at a careless child, and muttering in his mouth: "Madam must take good care of your body, if the owner of the village comes back and finds that your health has not improved, I am afraid that you will doubt me. Poor medical skills."
Gu Xiyu didn't touch the bowl of medicinal soup immediately, but said to Chen Wei, "There must be a lot of things in the stockade that need to be dealt with every day, right? It's too troublesome to come here from the East Court every day to deliver medicine to me, in fact, these things can be handled Just let Xia Qiu do it."
However, Chen Wei smiled, like a sunny young man: "We are a small stockade here, and we don't like to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes on weekdays. The affairs are not as complicated as Madam thought."
Gu Xiyu didn't say anything.
In this way, he will have more time to get in touch with Chen Wei, and he can learn more about his current situation. Judging from the attitude of others towards Chen Wei, there is absolutely no doubt about his orders and arrangements, which is evident in their trust.
One thing to say, Chen Wei is quite caring, at least he knows more than the village owner named A Wen. Maybe it's because he subconsciously thinks that 'girls' don't like bitter taste. When Chen Wei gives him medicine, he will change the pattern to bring him some candied fruit or sugar. It is necessary to silently sigh why the spy he needs to deal with is Chen Wei and not A Wen.
Gu Xiyu picked up the bowl of noodles and drank the medicine that was bitter to his heart without changing his color, but his eyes were slightly hidden by the eyelids, but the important things were hidden.
It has been half a month since the owner of the village left the cottage. According to the stockade staff, this is a normal number of days and there is no need to worry. In view of his identity, the people in the stockade had no ill will towards him, but instead took advantage of this time to have a good relationship with him. He tried to find out what he could do from their mouths, including observing Chen Wei's daily routine.
But he couldn't find it.
Chen Wei disguised too well, or maybe he didn't deliberately disguise himself. Because of his personality, he could easily get along with people, making people less defensive about him.
If it weren't for the system task reminder, Gu Xiyu felt that he might also be one of them.
It is very comfortable to get along with someone like Chen Wei.
He pondered on his own for several days, but did not understand the reason why Chen Wei was lurking in this stockade on behalf of the eldest prince, until he finished drinking the bowl of medicine and just put the sugar given by Chen Wei into his mouth, he heard the skillful cleaning up for him. The man with the empty bowl said, "Speaking of which, I heard something from the brothers when I was wandering in the stockade yesterday."
Gu Xiyu paused for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Wei who was standing by the table.
Chen Wei looked tangled: "When I was out before, I happened to receive the news that Dayan Kingdom is going to marry the third prince of our remote kingdom, but the escort team that escorted the little princess made some trouble when they entered the border of the remote kingdom and lost people. They are all saying that it was the bandits of Tianyun Village, but they escaped without being caught."
Hearing this, he got up and walked to the screen, took off his coat and put it on, turned his back to Chen Wei and asked in a low voice, "I've heard about this too, what's wrong?"
After a while, Chen Wei came over in an uncertain voice with a bit of a gossip tone: "It's okay, I just remembered that you seemed to be caught at the same time... and you were also wearing a wedding dress, everyone said you were runaway bride."
In short, Chen Wei suspects that his real identity is the missing princess.
Although Gu Xiyu wasn't actually, he thought about it, put on his cloak, turned around and said to Chen Wei calmly, "You're right."
"I am indeed the princess of the Dayan Kingdom that the palace is looking for." He sneered as he spoke, and his tone sounded a little bitter, "So what?"
"The owner of the village can't let me leave, and he won't allow people from the palace to come here. Even if he does come to the door, I always wear a red hijab when I come, and no one in the remote country can prove that I really am the princess. "
Although Chen Wei talked a lot on weekdays, he could not be said to be a very gossip person. Besides, no one else knew his identity except the village owner and Liu Ping. Chen Wei suddenly picked up this matter and asked him, eager to confirm the answer, which was a bit strange.
Gu Xiyu wasn't sure if he thought too much, but he planned to leave a hook for Chen Wei.
"You...are you really the princess of the Dayan Kingdom?" Chen Wei's shock was bigger than he expected, he repeatedly confirmed with him several times, and finally sat at the table with a headache and sighed, "Oh my God. "
Gu Xiyu didn't know why: "You seem more troubled than me."
Chen Wei said solemnly: "Of course, this matter is too serious! Let's not mention how terrifying the third prince Yu Chi Yan is, the village master kidnapping you is equivalent to offending the palace, like a book of war. If the third prince is If you investigate it there, everyone in the stockade will be in danger."
This is true, and this is what Gu Xiyu didn't want to understand.
Awen obviously attaches great importance to Luohe Village. How could he put the village on the tip of the knife simply because of a whim
After a short silence, he heard Chen Wei lowered his voice again and said, "Of course, there is another point that I personally don't agree with the decision of the Zhaizhu and the others."
"Although most of the marriages of men and women are based on the words of their parents' matchmakers, there is no room for choice, and there are very few lovers who truly love each other and marry smoothly. However, the village owner forcibly detained you by his side... Smart move."
"It's very unfair to you."
Gu Xiyu felt that Chen Wei was really good at talking. If he was Murong Qingwan himself, he would definitely feel that what he said had come to his heart, and he especially wanted to go along with him, as if he had found someone in the same camp as him in confusion.
He pursed his lips and responded after a long time, "This world is inherently unfair."
"Incompetent people like me have no power to choose."
Chen Wei seemed to have made up his mind, lowered his voice and said to him: "... Miss Gu, if you don't mind and are willing to believe me, maybe I can help you escape from the stockade."
Gu Xiyu said in surprise: "You mean, you want to help me?"
After a pause, he asked again: "Why? You are from Luohe Village and the most loyal deputy of the village owner. You are betraying him by doing this."
"I just focus on the stockade." Chen Wei replied rationally, and seemed to be struggling in his heart, "The stockade owner is a little too self-willed this time. He has to be busy with so many things by himself, and occasionally he gets knocked out. It's not impossible to make the wrong decision. Besides thinking it's wrong, I don't want the stockade to be pushed to the cusp."
The matter has not yet come to a conclusion, but Chen Wei has the expression of a soldier who is determined to die for the sake of justice.
If Gu Xiyu hadn't mastered the script from the system and God's perspective, he would have believed Chen Wei's 'heartfelt words'. As his spy, he certainly wouldn't really think so much about Luo Hezhai, which meant that he wanted to help him escape for other purposes.
… but, for what reason
Is it for Tianyun Village? The only people who are so eager to catch him recently are the people from Tianyun Village. But Chen Wei belongs to the eldest prince, and Tianyun Village has been in bad relations with the palace for many years, so it should not have anything to do with the eldest prince who just became the prince.
Gu Xiyu was still thinking about the relationship between the two. Chen Wei, who thought he was worried for himself, said to him, "Don't worry, I will bear the consequences, and I will explain the reason for my actions to the owner of the village."
"I've seen the way your village owner handles the people he detained, aren't you afraid that he will punish you?" Gu Xiyu asked.
Chen Wei is very optimistic: "We will fight for many years, I think he will understand my painstaking consideration for the stockade." He scratched his head again, "It really doesn't work, I will escape with you."
"As long as Luohe Village is safe, I don't care if he is severely punished."
When the words fell, Chen Wei raised his head and looked at him seriously: "The focus is still on you, are you willing to take this risk with me?"
Gu Xiyu promised Awen that he would be obedient and not run away, and he would take the initiative to send him to Yuchi Yan when he was done. Of course, there is a certain probability that Awen deceived him. In fact, he did not intend to do so, but Gu Xiyu still decided to believe it.
It's just that I always feel that the 'straw' that Chen Wei voluntarily handed over seems to help expose his true face in front of A Wen and the Zhaizi staff. The so-called escape is definitely not that simple, it sounds a bit risky, but Commander Gu quite likes this exciting feeling.
So he showed some grateful eyes, bowed his head and thanked: "I can't ask for it."
"I'm here for Yuchi Yan. The only person I want to marry in this world is him. No matter whether he will despise me being abducted into the mountains in the future, at least there is a chance to see him once, and I'm willing."
Commander Gu resolutely established the affectionate person to the end.
He didn't miss the indescribable words in Chen Wei's eyes that he tried to suppress but still accidentally revealed. He probably didn't expect that someone would really love the great demon king who has died several nominal wives so much.
Naturally, the escape plan cannot be carried out immediately, and it requires the right time and the right place and people.
And on the evening when they quietly made the agreement, the village owner who disappeared for half a month just came back. With his surveillance, the escape plan must be slowed down a bit.
When the village owner came back, many people greeted him at the gate. Gu Xiyu was not in good health, so he had good reasons to stay in the yard and wait for him to come back. In fact, he and the village owner lived in a relatively high place. If you climbed to a slightly higher place in the front yard, you could directly see the distant scenery at the bottom gate.
For example, now, when he came to this world, he was either sitting or lying down. Gu Xiyu, who had not left for a long time, climbed to the big tree in the front yard while his mental state was better. It took a lot more effort than before to climb up, and it was a little slower, but every step he took was steady.
He sat on the tree trunk covered by the dense leaves, quietly watching the scenery below. He seemed to have eased a little because he couldn't see the Great Demon King for a long time.
If this broken body were healthier, he might be able to sit here all day without anyone bothering him.
Gu Xiyu thought very well, and he also hoped to counter molesting the village owner. He wanted to see him back but couldn't find anyone, thinking that he had escaped again and was furious.
But Awen's observation is very keen, and before he returned to his yard, his eyes had already fallen on him from a distance. This kind of insight that is stronger than others and a keen mind about certain things makes him unable to help but think of his mission goals.
The main thing was the way he looked at him, which always made him feel this familiarity.
Gu Xiyu just thought about it, he felt that it was impossible for the system to locate the wrong target for him.
When the man returned to the yard with a little coolness, Gu Xiyu, who was discovered, had already come down from the tree and was sitting at the stone table outside waiting quietly. There were a few dry leaves on the table, and he didn't sweep them away, sitting there in an orderly manner, like a lady waiting for her husband to return home.
Yu Chi Yan laughed at the idea in his heart, thinking to himself that this 'lady' just climbed up the tree, what's the point of keeping yourself safe
"I'm back." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Chiyan felt that Gu Xiyu's tone sounded a little regretful.
He was in a good mood, and he didn't intend to bother with Gu Xiyu over such trivial matters, he directly put the jade brought back from the palace in front of him, raised his chin gently and said, "Whether you like it or not, your village master The identity of the lady is there, which is the face of my stockade. Since I said to bring you something, I will naturally give you the best. "
Gu Xiyu didn't expect that he really got something and came back, he was stunned for a long time before raising his hand and holding the mutton fat jade card in his hand, the coldness on it slowly melted with the temperature in his palm.
He turned over, his eyes fixed on the engravings in the corners of the jade card.
Smaller than the little finger's fingernail, there was a letter 'Yan' carved into it, and it was covered with a little gold lacquer.
... the delay of the delay
