Princess Regent

Chapter 281 Unfamiliar and Familiar
closed?
Shangguan Erlan thought about it for a while and didn't take it to heart, she just said: "Then I'll wait for her to get out."

Qi Zihan scratched his head in wonder, and said, who knows what year and month the Prophet will leave the customs?Maybe it will be a year or so, is she waiting?

Entering a small town, there is Qi Zihan leading the way. Many passers-by asked him how he brought a stranger into the city along the way, but it is not unusual for strangers to come in. Their small town has a formation, but it is not uncommon To let anyone in and out, they also need to go out to purchase other food and supplies, not without contact with other towns.It's just that from the perspective of people in other towns, the location of this small town is relatively complicated, and those who are not familiar with the terrain are easy to get lost, so they don't think it's weird.

"Zi Han, who are these people you brought with you?" The old man asked Qi Zihan as he looked at Xi Jinye and Shangguan Erlan in his arms.

Qi Zihan replied: "This is my uncle, and this is my uncle. They have something to ask the prophet, so I brought them in."

The old man nodded his head and understood.Zihan's uncle and uncle are definitely not bad people. They just came to look for the prophet, and the old man was shocked: "Looking for the prophet? Oh, the prophet is in retreat, and I don't know when he will be able to leave the closed door. Come and look for the prophet. I'm afraid I won't be able to see them." The old man also understands that if he can know the prophets of the Gumo tribe, his ability must not be bad. Besides, Qi Zihan's ancestors are familiar with their prophets. Isn't Qi Zihan's uncle the same as his ancestors? As a disciple, it would be even more harmless.

Living in a small town with nothing to contend with, people's ideas are also very simple.

Qi Zihan was also troubled by this, scratched his head, and said: "Maybe the prophet will come out in two days, my uncle and the others have something urgent to do with the prophet, so we will stay with the patriarch for the time being, sixth uncle, let's go first , I’ll talk to you later when I’m free.”

"Okay, you take the guests to settle down first."

After Shangguan Erlan left, news of their visit had already been spread throughout the small streets.

Listening to the discussions of the people behind him, Shangguan Erlan asked: "Qi Zihan, how many people are there in your clan now?"

"There are about seven or eight hundred people." Qi Zihan replied.

Seven or eight hundred?Shangguan Erlan couldn't help snorting coldly, time has passed, and the Gumo people are not as prosperous as before.I just don’t know what it’s like to watch the prosperous Gumo people gradually become the group with only seven or eight hundred people left today.

Qi Zihan had already told the patriarch that Xi Jinye and Shangguan Erlan were coming, and had already arranged a yard for them to live in.Knowing that Shangguan Erlan was handicapped, Qi Zihan led them into the yard and said, "Master, I'll go to the next door and ask the patriarch to come over and meet you. I live in the patriarch's house, next door."

"Yeah." Xi Jinye replied in a casual manner, observing that there was no light coming in, put Shangguan Erlan on the chair and took off her hat to let her ventilate.

Shangguan Erlan felt sorry for Xi Jinye, and pulled him to sit beside her, leaning on him.

Not long after, Qi Zihan and a middle-aged man came in, and when he saw Xi Jinye, the middle-aged man had a look of panic and surprise, "I can't welcome the Regent, please forgive me."

"Patriarch, you are welcome, we are the ones who visited rashly." Xi Jinye said in a flat tone.

"Where. It is our good fortune that the Prince Regent can visit a small town like ours." The patriarch said politely.

Qi Zihan pursed his lips and shouted: "Oh patriarch, my uncle is not an outsider. Why are you being polite? When will the prophet leave the customs? My uncle has something urgent to find her." He was most impatient with these people speaking in an official tone, and said for a long time It's not about business, it's because of this that he doesn't like the Qi family.

The patriarch gave Qi Zihan a dissatisfied look, thinking that this child is really impatient.

Shangguan Erlan smiled and said, "Don't be offended, patriarch, we really need to find your prophet urgently."

Only then did the patriarch turn his attention to Shangguan Erlan. Under the coercion of Xi Jinye just now, he didn't dare to look at the person in his arms except for being curious. He felt that if he set his sights on her, she would The person next to him must be unhappy.A distinguished guest like the Prince Regent is not something they can mess with casually, and the land where they are now standing still belongs to Lianyang Kingdom.

He said respectfully: "The regent and princess came at an unfortunate time. The Prophet had retreated and practiced earlier, and he has not yet left the closed door. We don't know the time when he will leave the closed door. We really can't give the time."

He believed that such an explanation could be understood by the Regent. In the eyes of this group of people, the Prophet was no different from God. If the Prophet hadn't been stopped, how could the Gumo people have fallen into this situation today.He couldn't believe it, if one day the prophet's time came and they were about to ascend, the Gumo people didn't know how to live their lives in the future.

Xi Jinye thought for a while and asked, "How long has the Prophet been in retreat?"

"It's been half a year."

Shangguan Erlan raised her head and nodded to Xi Jinye. According to what she knew about that person, it was a miracle that she could practice quietly for three months, but she knew her a long time ago, so it is not difficult to guarantee that she has not changed now.But she can be sure that no matter how a person changes, the temperament engraved in his bones cannot be changed.It has been half a year, so the day of leaving customs is not far away.

Furthermore, if she waited past her budgeted time, she wouldn't mind rushing in and ruining her cultivation!
"...We want to borrow some time here, waiting for the Prophet to go out? I wonder if it is possible?" Xi Jinye said.

The patriarch couldn't help but said: "Of course, it's just that the food here is simple, I'm afraid it will neglect the two of you."

"Patriarch, please rest assured, we have never been picky." Shangguan Erlan smiled kindly.It's as if you really don't pick anything.But Xi Jinye knew that she couldn't be picky, these words were just for face, if she really wanted to pick it up, he would feel a headache.

Xi Jinye squeezed her hand and looked at her a little teasingly.Shangguan Erlan stared at him, and turned his head away to ignore him.

When the patriarch heard this, he was relieved.

Shangguan Erlan and Xi Jinye lived in this small town with peace of mind.

I have to say that this small town is better than a big city. Not to mention the fresh air, the field of vision is also very wide, and there are continuous greens as far as the eye can see. The eyes are very comfortable, and there is no boredom in the imperial capital.This is probably the difference between the outdoors and the city. She finally understood why Xiao Lezi always likes to run outdoors. It's better outside than in the city.

As the sun went down, Shangguan Erlan was supported by Xi Jinye to walk back and forth in the yard, and walked around the surrounding fence a few times. Shangguan Erlan's eyes looked at a vegetable field in the backyard from time to time.The vegetable field over there is lush and green, and it looks very pleasing, and she likes it very much.But I can only think about it, her current body can't eat food, even if she goes to see it, she can only be greedy and can't eat it.

Thinking about Shangguan Erlan made her a little irritable, she wanted to eat! !
Turning his head, he stared at Xi Jinye angrily.

Xi Jinye looked back at her in bewilderment, not knowing why she was angry again, he obviously didn't provoke her.But remembering that the temper of a pregnant woman is always unpredictable, he can only think that she is in a bad mood because of the baby.He supported her with one hand, and patted her back with the other, trying to calm down her anger.

But Shangguan Erlan didn't appreciate it and still stared at him.

Xi Jinye didn't know why, but looked at her helplessly, accepting any dissatisfaction from her unconditionally.Well, she is a pregnant woman, bigger than the sky.

Two sounds of "chacha" interrupted the two people staring at each other helplessly. When they turned their heads to look at each other, they saw a young child in common clothes crawling on the edge of the wooden gate outside the fence, sticking out his small head Glance at them secretly.

Shangguan Erlan has always been very interested in children. When she sees something similar to Xiao Lezi, she will think of Xiao Lezi. When she sees a baby in her arms or a pregnant woman with a big belly, she will think of the baby in her stomach. This little one.In short, any child object will remind her of her own child, and therefore have a great liking for children.

Seeing the child timidly peeping outside the door, Shangguan Erlan also became curious, pushed Xi Jinye away, and walked over.The child shrank his head back when he saw Shangguan Erlan coming, but who knew that Shangguan Erlan had already arrived at the door, squatting down and looking at her.

Shangguan Erlan frowned when she saw the child's whole body. How should I put it, this child is really pitifully thin.The cloth wrapped around him was like a sack, which felt weird no matter what.There is almost no flesh on the small face, but the eyes are indeed big and very energetic.Looking at her with timidity, but more curiosity, he held the wooden door with both hands and looked at Shangguan Erlan.

For some reason, the child's eyes brought her a strange sense of familiarity. She smiled and asked, "Are you a child here?"

The child nodded, but did not reply directly.

"What's your name? Where do you live? I'll let you take you home, okay?" Shangguan Erlan tried to smile gently, trying to reach out to touch him, but as soon as he lifted his hand, the child hid sensitively past.She laughed, "I'm afraid I'm still hiding here and peeping at me."

The child looked at Shangguan Erlan, and then raised his head to look at Xi Jinye who had already walked behind her. Compared with Shangguan Erlan, Xi Jinye's white hair made the child feel more guilty.

So the child ran away.

"Hey!" Shangguan Erlan watched him run away, and when he wanted to stop him, there was no one in sight.

"What happened to that child?" Xi Jinye approached her and asked.

Shangguan Erlan looked at the direction the child was running away from, and also frowned strangely, "I don't know, I always feel that this child is very familiar, and those eyes are so beautiful." She hardly looked at the general appearance of the child, and focused all her attention on it. on those eyes.

Xi Jinye really frowned, but he couldn't see how good-looking that skinny child was?The face is small and has no flesh, but it has a pair of huge eyes. It's scary, isn't it!
