Since joining the team, Yu Qiao has never appeared once, only asking someone to invite Zhao Yi Lou. The first two times still indulged him, he didnt want to go and didnt force it, but the third time was directly sending a guard to take him away.
But Song Chu didnt worry, since Yu Qiao needed to use Zhao Yi Lous appearance, she wouldnt use too harsh means to provoke his resistance, she guessed that it was probably to train Zhao Yi Lous behavior and etiquette.
These days, Zhao Yi Lous changes also confirmed Song Chu Ers speculation. At least he would no longer show that posture close to a wild beast, always being on full alert at every move.
At the beginning of Song, when he had the opportunity, he would let Zhao Yilou report in detail how Yu Qiao was instructing him. Upon learning that Yu Qiao was only teaching him etiquette, demeanor, and simple character recognition, Song Chuanyi was very satisfied and also let Zhao Yilou follow along and study diligently.
In the caravan for a whole half month, Song Chuyi had slightly worse food, but was treated much better than other slaves, at least not having to walk on foot.
After a period of observation, Song ChuYi discovered that the convoy was passing through Wei and Song states.
The territories of the two states, Wei and Song, were not large, and it had been some time since they had entered the borders of Song. Although Zhang Yis face was calm and unruffled, his small movements revealed his inner anxiety.
Song had a look in his eyes, and it was very clear why he was so uneasy.
Zhang Yi was humiliated in the state of Chu and longed to escape back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, just as he thought he was near home, he was mistakenly bound again as a male concubine and brought back. Once the convoy entered the territory of Chu, he would soon be sent to the mansion of some nobleman. Even if he managed to escape successfully, he would still be branded with the shameful reputation of being a "male concubine". Thinking that he was once a proud disciple of Guiguzi, this humiliation was enough to make him want to die to apologize to his master!
Approaching the Chu border, the temperature is slightly higher than when in Qi and Zhao. Just after noon, a heavy rain was encountered, making the road muddy and impassable, completely unsuitable for traveling. However, there were no suitable places to take shelter along the way, with either forests or open fields on both sides of the road.
But Song Chuyi and Zhang Yi were not worried at all, especially Zhang Yi, who looked out of the car window at the heavy rain and laughed as he pulled Song Chuyi along, "It seems that heaven is also sympathetic to me!"
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one was wrapped in a quilt and slept soundly. Hearing him say so, he lazily mumbled a sentence, "If heaven really pities you, you would have returned home to see your wife and children early."
"Fortune is changeable!" Zhang Yi hummed discontentedly, continuing to watch the rain. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this rain was in harmony with his mood. He turned his head and saw that Song Chuyi was still sleeping. He couldnt help but pull her quilt off, "Get up, get up! For half a month now, youve been either eating or sleeping. Have you ever used your brain to think about serious matters?"
Song Chu was dizzy from being shaken, half-closing his eyes and perfunctorily saying, "Ive thought about it, Im discussing important matters with Duke Zhou, you wait a bit, Duke Zhou is busy, dont disturb me at this hour."
Zhang Yi let go of her in despair and threw her down.
Knock knock!
Song Chu fell straight onto the car board and suddenly woke up completely.
Although there was a grass mat on the cart board, it was still hard. Song Chuoyi rubbed his bandaged head and glared at Zhang Yi, saying angrily, "Im telling you, this isnt your head, are you not heartbroken? You make a living by your tongue, but you cant bear to bite your tongue to death. I rely on my brain, its not inferior to your tongue!"
Things that span the world, in addition to having a clear understanding of the overall situation, also rely on eloquence. Zhang Yi often had to rely on his words to get things done, so his tongue was naturally very valuable.
"I was worried that it wouldnt move for a long time and would rot away, so I helped it move a bit." Zhang Yi smiled slightly and patted her head, "Look, now its much livelier."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, with a wave of his hand, "Get out of here!"
Zhang Yis eyes widened, his mouth agape as if he could swallow a duck egg, and his trembling finger pointed at her for half a day without uttering a single word.
The most vicious insults of the time were nothing more than "Your mother is a servant" and "You are not human". Which one has the style of Song Chu Yi, sharp and ruthless?
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Mochi touched her conscience and said that she had been very restrained. She also had a sense of proportion, after being in contact with Zhang Yi for a period of time, knowing his character, this sentence he could completely accept, so she didnt bother to reason with him, hugging the quilt and continuing to sleep.
The muddy road was impassable, so the convoy stopped in its tracks and sent out four or five guards to scout out a radius of about three miles. It just so happened that Song Chuyi benefited from this, getting a good nights sleep without any bumps.
When the sky was completely dark, a guard finally found a place to take shelter from the rain, but in the woods there were withered grass and twigs everywhere, not even a small path.
The rain is too heavy, and the road will probably not dry out for a day or two. There are no villages ahead and no shops behind, and its uncertain whether we can find a suitable place to rest further ahead, so the leader of the caravan ordered half of the people to go clear the road.
Zhao Yi Lou was summoned to the main carriage early in the morning to learn to recognize characters, so around the horse-drawn carriage where Song Chuyi and Zhang Yi were riding, almost all the guards had withdrawn, leaving only one person standing by.
Zhang Yi finally seized the opportunity, immediately grabbed Song Chu and shook him, "Huajin, Huajin, its almost time to arrive in Chu State, another 20-30 miles ahead is a small city of Chu State, cant wait any longer."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a lazy and scattered person slowly got up, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "You just calm down, Ive been observing that every time we arrive at a city, we must enter to stock up on supplies. The amount of food given to us has clearly decreased over the past few days. I think it will take another day or two before we can approach the city. I have my own way to escape."
Zhang Yis eyes lit up and he hastily asked, "Really? Do I need to cooperate?"
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a head was about to continue speaking, but just heard a "bang" sound, and the horse cart suddenly stopped, with its wheels stuck in a pit.
Song Chu Yi and Zhang Yi were heavily thrown against the wall of the car.
The two of them scrambled up in a hurry, the horses were frightened and neighed loudly, the wheels stuck in the pit were pulled out violently, and the horses began to run wildly in all directions.
Song Chuyi hastily grabbed the window bar, and Zhang Yi, in a state of panic, grabbed Song Chuyis leg, but was shaken off by the car and only managed to grab the hem of his pants.
The horse carriage kept shaking and bouncing, it was unclear where they were headed, Song Chuyis pants had already been pulled down to his buttocks, fortunately there was still a layer of thick clothing on top.
Zhang Yis lower body had already slid out of the train car, and Song Chu yelled, "You damn near pulled my pants off! Grab his leg with all your might! Whats the use of just grabbing his pants?!"
She said, while straightening her legs to let Zhang Yi grasp more smoothly, and looking out the window.
All around was dark and desolate, with trees growing very sparsely. The carriage had not hit any tree trunks, but it was easy to get stuck on the rocks, and several times there was a danger of overturning. Although it was also very unsafe in the carriage, if Zhang Yi fell off and hit some sharp rocks, he would at least be seriously injured, and by then it would be difficult to escape!
But in this case, Song Chu was too weak to do anything, even if she had ten brains. However, her foot was still not far from Zhang Yis, and with just a bit more effort, she could stretch out her hand and grab him.
Woooo...
Just then, a familiar cry sounded in his ears.
"Its a wolf!" Song Chu exclaimed, she didnt dare move at all, and firmly pressed down on her pants. It was okay if her pants were pulled off, but if Zhang Yi fell, they might become wolf food!
