Chapter 91 Maid
"drive!"

"drive!"

In the early morning hours, the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

Four strong horses rushed into the dilapidated temple. Bai Fu quickly turned around the temple and shook his head regretfully at Che Yunxiu.

"Miss, he's gone."

"what!"

Che Yunxiu looked panicked:

"Now what?"

"Don't worry." Qian Bo had lived for most of his life and experienced the ups and downs of life. He quickly calmed down:

"Even if that person taught Baifu so that her strength increased significantly in just two days, it doesn't mean she is that strong."

"Even if he's very strong, it's unclear how much he can really do now that he's been seriously injured. He may not even agree to protect the young lady."

“It’s urgent!”

He looked back and said:
"Let's go back to Jizhou first!"

"Uncle Qian." Bai Fu said:
"It will take at least five days to get to Jizhou, but it will only take one day to get to Wancheng if we gallop quickly. Why not go to Wancheng?"

"Wancheng?" Qian Bo shook his head.
"With the master gone, it's unclear whether the Zhao family will recognize our relatives. Moreover, those people came prepared. There must be an ambush on the road to Wancheng."

"on the contrary."

"The bandits who attacked the caravan couldn't possibly chase us from Anxi Prefecture to Jizhou. We'll be safe after the first two days."

"Yes." Che Yunxiu's eyes were filled with tears.

"It's all up to Qian Bo to arrange."

"Let's go!" Qian Bo turned his horse's head:
"The pursuers will be here soon. Let's not waste time and get on the road quickly."

There were nine people who escaped from the post station at that time. As a result, except for the four of them, the others were all killed by bandits.

If Bai Fu had not fought with all his might, even they might not have been able to escape here.

"drive!"

"..."

The strong horse sets out on the road and gallops all the way.

"Miss." Bai Fu's posture was light and graceful. His horse riding skills had also improved a lot after his cultivation level increased. He rode closer and asked:
"There is a highway and a small road ahead. Which one should we choose?"

"A main road? A small road?" Che Yunxiu's eyes were red, and she sniffed and asked Qian Bo beside her:

"Qian Bo, where are you talking about?"

"Xiaolu." Qian Bo said:
"The small path is faster and less likely to be caught up. Besides, the ground after the rain is more concealed when walking on the small path."

The ground was muddy after the rain, and the marks left by horse hooves were obvious, making them easy to identify for experienced people.

Only the path in the forest has no obvious mark.

"Then take the small road."

The three men and three horses rushed into the path while the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

I do not know how long it has been.

Qian Bo's body was shaking, and the horse under him leaped forward, and he almost fell off the horse.

"Qian Bo!"

"Manager Qian."

Several people hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped running.

"I...I can't do it anymore." Qian Bo's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he said bitterly:

"I'm old, and my body is really not good anymore."

"Miss!"

He looked at Che Yunxiu:

"Don't worry about me. Let Bai Fu protect you and escape quickly. You will be safe once you escape from Anxi Mansion."

At the age of over sixty, he is no longer in his prime.

Besides, even an adult man would not be able to endure riding a horse for two or three hours, let alone him.

Qian Bo could no longer hold on, and the inner thigh was covered in blood, but he just kept enduring it so as not to affect his journey.

"No!" Che Yunxiu shook her head.

"We can't leave you alone."

"Little bell."

She looked at the only guard who escaped and said:

"Take Qian Bo and ride on one horse. We'll go as fast as we can."

"Yes." Xiao Zhong responded and carried Qian Bo on his back onto the horse.

"drive!"

The four of them set off again and had to slow down. In fact, the others were already exhausted.

"Xu..."

Suddenly, Bai Fu pulled the reins:
"Miss, there is someone in front."

"Oh!" Che Yunxiu's body tensed up:

"Be careful."

Not long after walking forward, I saw a familiar figure skinning a rabbit and preparing to set up a grill.

Although there was only one person, inconspicuous in the desolate forest, he inexplicably gave people a sense of security.

My originally tense spirit suddenly relaxed.

"Mr. Zhu!"

"It's him!"

Bai Fu's face was filled with joy, he jumped off his horse and ran over:
"You're here too?"

"I'm going to Shengshou Mountain. It makes sense to be here." Zhu Ju put down the dagger in his hand and looked at the few people:

"But you guys seem to have gone the wrong way?"

"..."

Several people fell silent.

Che Yunxiu thought of the sad things and tears came to her eyes.

"You've come just in time." Zhu Ju didn't intend to ask about their experiences, but waved to Bai Fu:

"You have good cooking skills. Help me roast the rabbit."

"Yes." Bai Fu responded subconsciously, then glanced at his mistress and said as he took the hare:

"Mr. Zhu, you are also going to Jizhou. Can you come with us? Someone is trying to harm my young lady."

"Really?" Zhu Ju understood.
"Where is Mr. Che?"

"Condolences!"

Just by looking at Che Yunxiu's expression, you know the answer. He leaned against the tree and slowly closed his eyes.

"Death and life are inevitable."

"Mr. Zhu." Qian Bo's expression changed and he stepped closer.

"I would like to ask you to escort my young lady. Once we arrive in Jizhou, the Che family will certainly present a generous gift."

"For the sake of my master's kindness a few days ago, I hope you will agree."

He first offered inducements and then forced us with favors. His attitude and words were full of humility and pleading, making it really hard to refuse.

unfortunately,

"We are on different paths."

Zhu Ju's expression was calm:

"There's no need to say more about this." "Mr. Che's kindness is appreciated, but even if I hadn't run into him, I would have been fine."

"How can you be like this!" Xiao Zhong said angrily when he saw this:

"You were lying on the roadside covered in wounds, but my master was kind enough to take you in."

"Really?" Zhu Ju said slowly:
"It seems there's some misunderstanding between us. I'm covered in wounds, but I really don't need help."

"You!" Xiao Zhong was furious.

"never mind."

Qian Bo waved his hand to stop Xiao Zhong from talking, his tone hinted at sarcasm:
"Mr. Zhu must be a hermit, so it's normal that he doesn't like dealing with ordinary people like us."

"But I'm tired after traveling all the way. I think you wouldn't mind resting here for a while, sir?"

"Whatever you want." Zhu Ju said.

With the help of Xiao Zhong, Qian Bo slowly sat down, and Che Yunxiu also squatted beside the campfire with red eyes.

"White aconite."

Qian Bo sniffed and praised:

"Your craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

"Mr. Qian, you are too kind." Bai Fu bowed his head.
"Practice makes perfect, that's all."

"No." Qian Bo shook his head:
"You are born with inner wisdom, which can be seen since you were young. Otherwise, the master would not have kept you with the young lady."

"Well……"

He thought for a moment and said slowly:

"You are a poor child. You have been without parents since you were little. The master had someone take care of you."

"Yes." Bai Fu nodded:
"Master's kindness, Bai Fu will never be able to repay it in his lifetime."

"Yeah." Qian Bo looked satisfied.
"He's a sensible and good child. I'm just like you. Everything I have was given by the Che family."

"I have no children, how about you become my daughter?"

Ok?
Bai Fu was stunned.

Although Qian Bo was called the steward of the Che family, his status was as high as that of the Che family members.

Even Che Yunxiu has to be respectful when facing him.

After serving the Che family for decades, Qian Bo had accumulated a lot of wealth, which he would leave to his descendants. However, since he had no children, his adopted daughter would naturally be the only heir.

In the Che family, being Qian Bo's adopted daughter is something many maids dare not even think about.

"This..." Bai Fu looked hesitant.

She was different from other maids. She had been educated and could read and write, and she did not care much about money.

I didn't have too much expectation of recognizing Qian Bo as my father.

"White aconite."

Che Yunxiu nodded after hearing this:

"I think Qian Bo's proposal is very good. If you become his adopted daughter, you won't be bullied by your husband's family when you get married."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhong also said:
"It's your blessing to be noticed by the seniors."

?

Bai Fu looked confused and didn't know what to do. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Ju, only to see that the other party had his eyes closed and ignored him.

"Father."

After being persuaded by several people, she kowtowed in a daze and acknowledged her adoptive father.

"Haha..." Qian Bo laughed:
"Good daughter!"

"I've lived for most of my life, and I never thought that I would have such a well-behaved daughter when I'm old. I'm so lucky."

He originally looked down on Baifu, but things are different now.

Bai Fu now shows an amazing talent for martial arts. As long as he returns alive, his future achievements will surely be extraordinary.

Maybe,

Can become a body-tempering martial artist!
Moreover, Bai Fu has a gentle personality and a kind heart. As her adoptive father, he can also enjoy his old age.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"My daughter!" Qian Bo took a deep breath and said with a smile:

"You're not young anymore. I think today is worse than tomorrow. I'll find a matchmaker for you today."

"Xiao Zhong is a well-behaved kid. Why don't you marry him and become a perfect couple?"

Ah!
Baifu's complexion changed.

Xiao Zhong beside him also frowned.

Xiao Zhong had always looked down on Bai Fu because she had a birthmark on her face, but now that she was Qian Bo's daughter, it was a different story.

If I marry Bai Fu, I can get Qian Bo's inheritance. Besides, this woman has a gentle personality and should not stop me from finding a concubine.

It’s not impossible!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xiao Zhong's face.

"Okay!"

Che Yunxiu clapped her hands and forced a laugh:

"Today is a double celebration. We have fled here, and I am happy that you have a place to call home."

Propose marriage.

Husband!

What a strange word.

Looking at the three smiling people in front of him, Bai Fu felt panic in his heart, but didn't know how to deal with it.

It's like a fish bait caught in a big net, unable to struggle until it suffocates from dehydration.

How can I refuse the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker?

"Crack!"

The branches that made up the bonfire made a crisp crackling sound, and Bai Fu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Zhu Ju opposite him.

I don’t know when.

Zhu Ju has opened his eyes, his deep eyes revealing a sense of seeing through everything, yet so indifferent.

Bai Fu suddenly understood.

There was no one she could rely on.

Qin Bo can't do it.

Miss……

No, no!
The mysterious young man in front of her treated her as a passerby from beginning to end.

The previous martial arts instruction may have been just a reward for food or a momentary impulse, rather than true kindness.

"Sir." Bai Fu lowered his head and said while moving the rabbit meat:

"I inquired about some things about Shengshou Peak, one of which involved the legendary story of a peerless Grandmaster from a hundred years ago."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows:

"tell me the story."

"A hundred years ago, the peerless Grandmaster came to Shengshou Peak. It is said that he spent seven days and seven nights on the summit observing the sea of ​​clouds before descending the mountain." Bai Fu added:

"He went down the mountain, left a message, and then disappeared. It is said that he died after returning to the Fu family."

"Left a message?" Zhu Ju slowly sat up straight:
"What?"

"Few people knew about this, and when it was spread, it was just a rumor." Bai Fu said:
"I don't know whether it's true or not."

"The original words are: There is no hope in the innate, the great way is poisonous; only by observing flowers in the fog can you find the true way."
