That was the only thing Xuan Yi said throughout the night. For the rest of the night, he didn't look at anyone or say anything. He just closed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting.
At dawn, the weather was still gloomy, but there was no sign of rain, but the wind was still strong.
A Niu supported his mother, and Xian Zijian walked in the front. Although A Niu often went up and down the mountain, Xian Zijian seemed to be more familiar with the mountain road. Xuan Yi and Jin Huwei walked at the back, keeping a certain distance.
, follow slowly.
Because of A Niu's mother, everyone walked very slowly down the mountain.
"Although that old woman can't see, her hearing is very good. She can accurately judge the position of the speaker through her voice. You should try your best to make no mistakes when speaking in front of her." Xuan Yi used sound transmission to listen to her ears.
said to the Jin guard beside him.
"Yes, I understand." Guard Jin responded in the same way.
"When they arrive at the foot of the mountain, you arrange for them to live in the Refuge Garden. Before moving in, replace all the slaves inside with the most reliable ones. Never mention what happened before Zi Daan. Just treat them as an ordinary family temporarily staying there, and then
To provide them with a comfortable life, we must allow their mother and son to accept a comfortable lifestyle before the courtyard chosen by A Niu is built." Xuan Yi said indifferently, "They are always running around and they will definitely hope to have a stable life, so for
An Wen is the least resistant. After the courtyard is built, he will no longer provide them with financial support. At the same time, A Niu will be given a job that suits him, and the income does not have to be too high."
"Yes." Guard Jin still answered simply.
Ahead, A Niu's mother looked back. In fact, she could not see anything with her eyes. In the wind, the footsteps of Xuan Yi and Jin Guard were so soft that she could not hear them at all. "Aren't they following behind?"
"Yes, it's at the very back." Aniu also looked back, "Mom, please leave quickly. This prince is already accommodating us. I see that his face is a little impatient. After we go down the mountain,
We need his help to have our own courtyard, to live a good life like the rich people in our hometown, to have enough to eat and not to starve. If we really make him angry and he ignores us, there is nothing we can do.
Yes, Jianyatou also said that if a prince wants to deal with the three of us, he can kill us at will, and no one will know whether we are alive or dead, or even know that we have lived here."
The old woman closed her mouth again and walked slowly down the mountain.
It took almost half a day to reach a certain place at the foot of the mountain. Here, Xuan Yi could already find his way back by himself. After taking a look at everyone, he said to Jin Guards: "I will not accompany you."
Alright, Guards Jin, take good care of the three of them and make arrangements to find me at Prince Xuan's Mansion."
"Yes." Jin Guard said respectfully. He whistled lightly and two horses came running from a distance. They were his and Xuan Yi's mounts. "My lord, be careful on the road."
Xuan Yi ignored him and got on his horse. He didn't even look at Xian Zijian. He patted the horse and the horse quickly disappeared into the distance. In the distance, two other people seemed to appear vaguely and then disappeared together with Xuan Yi. Jin Guards knew that
, those are Xiaopei and Gan Chongwang, they will accompany Xuan Yi back to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"Wow, he's so handsome!" A Niu blurted out, his eyes shining.
Guard Jin did not answer, but glanced at Xian Ziyuan, who looked a little tired, "Miss Xian, the three of you have a good rest here, and I'll rent a carriage."
"You won't leave us here and don't care, will you?" A Niu looked hesitant.
"No." Guard Jin knew that the emperor had arranged for guards to look for Guan Yucheng not too far nearby. They should be able to get a carriage. A Niu and his mother had just arrived. Xian Ziqian wore very little and walked down the mountain.
, must be tired and hungry, and have to find a way to get some food and some thick clothes. "I'm going to look for some carriages nearby. If you're worried, can you come with me? Can you ride a horse?"
A Niu shook his head and glanced at the horse whose hooves were flapping on the ground, with a look of confusion on his face. He had ridden in a donkey cart before. Rich people in his hometown also had ox carts and occasionally carriages, but such a good horse
But this was the first time I saw it, and it looked like it was better than the three of them eating.
"Forget it, don't leave here, I'll be back in a minute." Guard Jin got on his horse and glanced at A Niu, "I'm faster on my own. This horse has excellent footwork. In just half an hour, I
I must come back, in addition to looking for a carriage, and get some food and clothing."
Although A Niu looked hesitant, he did not stop him.
Listening to the sound of Jin's guards leaving, the old woman sat down on a stone, sighed, and beat her legs, "It's because I'm old and exhausted, Jianyatou, you see, mother didn't say anything
That’s right, you’ve just come down the mountain, and that prince ignored you. I see he didn’t even say a word to you on the way down the mountain. This rich man is very cruel.”
Xian Ziqian didn't speak, just listened gently. In fact, on the way down the mountain, Xuan Yi didn't say a word to her. She kept walking at the front, and he kept walking at the back. There was no chance to speak at all, but
When Xuan Yi left, she still heard his voice clearly.
"Aqian, I'll go first. When you get to the Refuge Garden, I'll go over and see you."
And no one but her heard these gentle and calm words.
While A Niu was waiting anxiously, he stood up and walked around rubbing his hands. He stood there and looked in the direction where Jin's guards left. He muttered something.
Sit next to the old woman and help her gently beat her tired legs.
Half an hour later, he heard the sound of a carriage in the distance. Xian Ziqian raised his head and said gently: "Brother A Niu, the Jin guards have come back. Let's pack up and prepare to leave. They are not people who do not keep their word.
Don’t make trouble with yourself.”
A Niu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Are you tired of waiting?" Guard Jin jumped down from the carriage with a package and a big food box in his hand, "Miss Xian, I have found some clothes. You and the old man can change. Outside
It's too cold, and your and the old man's clothes are too thin. There is also some food. You will eat some on the carriage later. We still have some way to go, and it will take a few days to reach the refuge garden. Ah Niu, you
Sit in front with me to see if there is any place you like nearby. When I went to look for the carriage, I took a look. The surrounding area was too remote and there was really no suitable courtyard. However, the prince said that if there is no suitable place, let him
You choose a place yourself, and then Prince Xuan’s Mansion will send someone to help you build one.”
