Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Yuan Lai felt a little guilty, after all, she really killed someone.

When He Haonan stood in front of her unharmed, Yuan Lai felt embarrassed and had no idea how to deal with it.

The guard whose weapon was taken away saw He Haonan and Yuan Lai running away. He was extremely anxious and was about to chase after them, but Ti Lian stopped him and said, "Don't chase. Protecting the princess is the most important thing."

Judging from Ti Lian's words and actions, he seems to be the leader of this group of guards.

He Haonan grabbed Yuan Lai's sleeve tightly and ran all the way, passing through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a long-abandoned farmer's yard in the village.

"Brother Tong, I'm back!" He Haonan shouted breathlessly, and at the same time quickly moved the pile of firewood at the door and entered the house.

On the wooden bed in the room, there was a man tied up, it was Zhao Xiaotong.

"Did you catch up with them?" Zhao Xiaotong asked in surprise.

"Yeah." He Haonan nodded, then pulled out the sword he had snatched from the guard, and with a wave of his hand, he easily cut the rope that tied Zhao Xiaotong.

Yuan Lai stood aside and watched all this. The originally tense defense line in his heart completely collapsed at this moment.

"I also met Yuan Lai on the road. Look." He Haonan said, stepping aside, exposing Yuan Lai in front of Zhao Xiaotong.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaotong jumped up from the bed and looked straight at Yuan Lai.

"Yuan Lai?"

"Why are you... here?" Shouldn't this be her dream?

The two exchanged glances, both confused. He Haonan said, "I was twisting wire when I was suddenly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a sedan chair. A woman kicked me down."

Zhao Xiaotong's was even more bizarre. "I came to call Xiao He for dinner, and when I saw you standing there, I reached out and was about to pat your shoulder. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you transformed into a sturdy ancient man. He turned around and tied me up without saying anything."

Before the two of them could figure out the situation, they were thrown into a dilapidated house by the other party.

This house had obviously been abandoned for a long time. The walls were covered with cobwebs and there was a thick layer of dust on the floor.

He Haonan struggled to get up from the ground and found that their hands were tied tightly with ropes. However, perhaps because those ancient people were in a hurry, He Haonan's knots were not tied very firmly. After some effort, he finally succeeded in breaking free.

After searching everywhere, they found nothing sharp. After discussion, they decided that He Haonan should take the risk.

He Haonan rushed out of the house, trying to catch up with the group. Fortunately, he was fast enough and caught up with them soon. He took the opportunity to grab a sword and prepared to rescue Zhao Xiaotong.

This series of events seemed so strange that Yuan Lai couldn't help but feel as if he was in a real version of Inception.

"Have you noticed that there are two people in the team who look very much like Zhuo Yuan and Xiao He?" Yuan Lai suddenly asked.

He Haonan scratched his head and replied bewilderedly, "Really? I didn't even notice what he looked like."

Yuan Lai felt that something was wrong, so she asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhao Xiaotong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we follow that team from a distance to see where they are going. We can make plans after we understand the situation."

They immediately followed the team quietly. They followed for three days, drinking mountain spring water when they were thirsty and suppressing hunger when they were hungry.

Finally, on the third day, they saw the team entering a relatively prosperous town.

However, because they had no money, the three people had nowhere to go, and they had no choice but to sleep on the streets.

Sat down on the street closest to the inn.

At this time, Yuan Lai missed her golden hairpin very much. If the hairpin was still there, they could exchange it for a large sum of money and sleep comfortably in the inn.

Just when the three of them were dazed and almost unconscious from hunger, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of them.

Someone lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked, "Master, why are you drunk here?"

The other party must have recognized the wrong person, but they were not sure who the eldest young master was calling, so no one spoke to him.

The air was tense for a moment.

After a long pause, the other party finally spoke, "Lu Li heard that the county governor is in a dilemma recently because of Miss Xu's marriage. Even if the eldest son has his heart set on someone else, Prince Jing is still indebted to the emperor. As long as he asks for marriage, there will be no turning back. Why is the eldest son so angry with Lord Xu?"

He said a lot of gibberish, but it didn't make sense.

Still no one answered.

The other party sighed and ordered his men, "Go, send the eldest young master to a nearby inn to rest, so that others won't laugh at him."

A few big men lifted the child up without saying a word.

It turns out that the eldest young master refers to Zhao Xiaotong.

Zhao Xiaotong suddenly had an idea and shouted, "I'm not going. I want to get drunk with my friends!"

You know what, he is indeed an actor, his improvisation is very good.

"Then send them together."

In this way, the three of them got a free night and a midnight snack.

Due to an unexpected change in their lives, the three of them secretly ran to the kitchen of the inn before dawn, wanting to prepare some food to eat on the way.

Although it is a small town, the inn’s kitchen has a rich variety of ingredients.

Yuan Lai packed a lot of salt so that they could grill the fish.

Before the innkeepers went to work, the three of them sneaked out of the inn and hid on the same street as last night, so that they could see the princess's convoy at the first sight.

The sun broke through the horizon and the convoy was back on the road.

The three men followed from a distance, exhausted. He Haonan couldn't help but doubt the necessity of this action. "Do we really have to follow them? I think the town we just saw is pretty good."

"There's someone among them who looks exactly like you. Aren't you curious?"

"There are so many people in the world, it's not uncommon for them to look alike, right? Regarding this, I'm more curious about the eldest son that Lu Li mentioned."

Zhao Xiaotong spread his hands and said, "Should we continue to follow the convoy, or return to the town we just came from?"

A strange environment, a strange world, strange people, I was confused and at a loss.

Yuan Lai always felt that he should follow the caravan to the legendary capital of Xihu Kingdom, where all the answers were found.

"Continue to follow..."

"elder brother?"

A very uncertain voice sounded behind him.

The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Wang Yiheng standing behind a tree, looking dirty, with a dying fish hanging in his hand.

"younger brother?!"

The three brothers recognized each other and hugged each other excitedly.

Afterwards, the four of them sat down, and He Haonan asked Wang Yiheng how he came to this place.

"I still need to ask you. Shaoxi and I came home after digging mud and saw that the food was set out in the multi-purpose hall, but there was no one in the house. Shaoxi and I went outside to call you to eat. I had just walked out of the house when I suddenly fell to the ground and fainted. When I woke up, I found myself lying by the river. There was only a small shabby house nearby. I didn't dare move around alone, for fear that you would find me. Until I heard you talking just now."

It seems that the other brothers were also involved without knowing it.

Yuan Lai felt a little regretful for a moment.

This dream must have some conspiracy. This was the first time she succeeded, and she didn't dare to imagine what would happen if all ten people succeeded.

Can she really wake up from her dream?

"What about Shaoxi? Didn't you meet him?"

Wang Yiheng shook his head, "No."

After discussing, the four decided that it would be more reliable to go to a big city first, so they followed the convoy.

Wang Yiheng saw Le Wei in the team and asked in surprise, "Isn't that Brother Yuan?"

Yuan Lai shook his head and denied it, "He is not your brother, he is the brother of the princess in the sedan chair."

Then, she pointed to Ti Lian next to her and said, "Look at that guy. He looks exactly like your brother Nan. But he is not He Haonan."

"This, this, this..."

Wang Yiheng shifted his gaze back and forth, looking at He Haonan and Ti Lian again and again, and finally uttered, "This man is much stronger than Xiao He, and looks like my third brother."

He Haonan slammed a heavy hammer on Wang Yiheng's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Try to say it again?"

Wang Yiheng refused to accept it and hid behind Zhao Xiaotong, "Brother, I was wrong. You are more handsome than him! You are much more handsome than him!"

"That's pretty much it."

He Haonan was very grateful for this unexpected praise.
