Thirteen couldn't see it, snatched the wine jar from my hand, and said: "Every word you say is the truth, but look at your own ghostly appearance, drunk all day long, what is not like the deep house resentful woman in your mouth?"

I amusedly pointed my index finger at my nose and asked, "You say, me?"

Thirteen nodded seriously, I burped, shook my head and denied: "No, what am I worth? I live at ease every day, far happier than in Chang'an." ”

"Is that so?" said Thirteen, looking me in the eye for a long time, "why don't I see half of the happiness in your face?"

I didn't answer, but asked him instead: "Then you tell me that your seventh sister has become a concubine and lives a prosperous and wealthy life in Chang'an, can she be happy?"

"Nature is not happy. "Thirteen answered quickly," she had long wanted to fly on the high branch of the phoenix, but she was pressed on the head by a woman who was born as a maid, and she was thinking about calculations all day long, and I went to visit her before leaving, and felt that she was no longer my seventh sister. ”

I laughed: "She's not happy because she's stubborn." I'm happy now because I don't dare to be stubborn. ”

"You're not the high-interest month I know anymore. Thirteen looked at me, "I know Gao Xiyue dares to love and hate, and has never run away. ”

I drank to myself, looked up at the sky, and was silent.

"If I told you something, I don't know if you would be so calm. Thirteen suddenly became serious, and his face became extremely solemn, "I just received a tip-off that the Ninth Master has not yet reached the boundary of Chang'an, and has been followed by the imperial court officers and soldiers all the way. The execution of the Zhenguo Gong has been issued this morning - ten days later, the door will be beheaded!"

"Click-" The jar in my hand fell, smashing on the ground and splashing countless fragments. The intoxicating aroma of pear blossoms filled the air, which made my mind sober up a little.

"Colluding with the palace to rebel against the party, harboring the illegitimate son of King Jiaodong, hiding it for many years without reporting, the crime should be punished!"

Pei Shisan's solemn words shocked my whole body, and asked, "Whose will is this? The emperor? or Xiao Chongyan?"

Thirteen: "The Shaw only exposes the impeachment of Yuwen. It was the emperor who asked the prince of the town. ”

"Jing Hong......" I called him by his name in disbelief, and I didn't want to believe that Ah Di had become such a person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

"Chang'an has a legend that the emperor's ears are soft, as long as the queen blows the wind in her ears by the pillow at night, a Xuanhe clan will immediately fall. Now that the clan has been suppressed by the Xiao family, Yuwen has been defeated, and no one dares to compete with it!"

I was amazed and asked, "Isn't the current queen the girl in charge of my Lingxi Palace?"

Thirteen was stunned, recalled for a moment, and denied: "I have a little impression of that maid in your palace, what is it called 'squeak' or something else? The queen flew out of the Canghua Palace before, and after hearing that she was a criminal minister, the emperor did this, probably to overturn the case for her......"

Pear Blossom Brewing stamina, my brain became blank in Thirteen's words, and I reacted for a long time, but I still didn't know how to deal with it.

"Chang'an is no longer the Chang'an it used to be. If you hide here any longer, I'm afraid you will never see the Ninth Master again, and you will never be able to return to Chang'an!" Thirteen Dao, "What about the traitorous king's son? The Ninth Master is loyal to the country and has never done anything to be sorry for the Great Zhou Dynasty! What about the emperor today? Listen to the cheap and indiscriminately decide right and wrong. Princess, the clan is withering, now you are the most talkative person among us, you are the emperor's sister, your words will be listened to by the emperor...... Hey, Princess, where are you going? Wait for me!"

I was awakened by Thirteen's words, and stumbled all the way to my room. What is the point of the deep feud in the sea of blood? What is the point of the antagonism between the family and the clan? Now I have only one thought in my heart, if I don't rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible, then no matter where I am in the future, it will only be like being in the hell of Shura!

"Princess...... Princess!" on the back of the galloping horse, Pei Shaoyi's shout came from behind, I slowed down, took a few steps forward, pulled the reins, and stopped by the Changchuan River.

"I listened to your consolation and decided to return to Beijing. If you regret that you are going to see the people in the house stop me, and now you want to stop me, don't talk nonsense!

The slaves and maids in the general's mansion, including Jinglan, were shocked when they heard the news that I was going to return to Beijing temporarily, and tried desperately to block them, and even blocked the door with tears in their eyes, kowtowing and begging for mercy. I was upset, and I pointed my sword at everyone in a rage with the unfading wine, and the first to bear the brunt was a few maids who had already been rumored in the house to love Yuwen Qiye but failed to seduce them. These handmaidens are all frivolous on weekdays, I have been dissatisfied for a long time, and today I borrowed this reason to directly let them sacrifice my long sword that has not been unsheathed for a long time.

Thirteen was stunned, and then smiled: "I'm not a woman, and I don't miss your ninth master." The Chang'an Lady really deserves her name, and it seems that Lao Tzu has come all the way to chase after her. ”

I looked at him puzzled, and asked, "If you have something to say, what do you have to ask me?"

"Lao Tzu and you really don't have to beat around the bush, you bring this back to Chang'an, one for Lianxi, and the other for you. As he spoke, Thirteen spread out his palms, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected obliquely on the two jade ornaments in his palms, and the fish-shaped patterns were pieced together into a complete jade pendant.

The sun was setting low, and the Changchuan River was sparkling, and the side face of the thirteen who looked down at me was reflected layer by layer, and there seemed to be a trace of helplessness and sadness in their eyes. I thought I was still drunk, but I was dazzled, so I shook my head vigorously.

After a long time, I reached out and took it, and asked him, "Why do you still have my share?"

The thirteenth big man waved his hand, without the slightest sadness, and shrugged indifferently: "I just want to send her." You and my friend, since there is an extra half of it, give it to you so as not to waste it. ”

I looked at him speechlessly, but I put the two jade ornaments in my sleeve with great preciousness. I only heard Thirteen chattering on the side: "You must put away these two jade ornaments, I have nothing in Liangzhou that can help you, these guards who have followed me for many years will escort you back to Chang'an today." Guanshan Road is far away, you take care all the way. ”

"Are you really not going back to Chang'an? Xiaoyao Hou is old, and you can't stand this hard life, if you want to come back, I will think of something to help you. ”

"Don't go back!" Thirteen sighed, looked at the mighty and rushing Changchuan for a long time, was silent for a long time, and spoke, "Things are people, and going back is just 'embarrassing here and now'." Stay in Liangzhou, but for the rest of your life, why not?"

I looked at Pei Shaoyi, wearing a simple and plain clothes, and there was a lot of maturity under it. Thinking of the days when Yuwen Qi and I were with him in Chang'an City at night, a pot of sake and a bouquet of peach blossoms can become a memory of our laughter for a long time. Now I don't know who to blame, Shaohua is in a hurry, maybe we are getting farther and farther away from the simple youth at that time.

Riding through the stars and the moon, under the gallop day and night, I was invaded by the vast wind and sand for more than three days, and finally saw a trace of the Central Plains in the evening. The accompanying guards told me that with this foot, I would be able to enter the Chang'an Pass in five days. However, it backfired, when our group got up and was about to continue on the road after a short pause at the post station, they were stopped by a group of officers and soldiers, led by none other than Changsheng.

I had mixed feelings in my heart and asked, "Changsheng, why are you stopping me? Tell me, what is Jiurou doing now?"

"Princess, I have come at the behest of the general, and I implore the princess to return!" Changsheng knelt on one knee and pleaded. Behind him, the Yuwen retainers also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "I implore the princess to return to Liangzhou!"

I turned a blind eye to the scene in front of me, and consulted Changsheng: "You tell me first, how is Jiulang now?" According to what the thirteenth said, the DPRK and China sent officers and soldiers to follow him all the way, and Jiulang's road back to Beijing this time must be more auspicious.

Changsheng was silent, and still only said: "Princess, I am here at the behest of the general, and I implore the princess to return!"

"Presumptuous!" I shouted, swinging my sword and pointing directly at the center of Changsheng's eyebrows, "Whoever dares to stop me today, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"

Changsheng's back straightened, his head bowed slightly, and he faced my cold sword blade calmly.

After a long silent confrontation, I put the long sword in my hand into the leather sheath at my waist, looked at the gradually lowering night outside the post station, sighed, and said to the accompanying guards: "Let's go back." ”

"Congratulations to the princess!" Changsheng and the voice of everyone sounded behind me, and I strode out of the post station for a moment.

"Is there a path around here?" As soon as I got on the horse, I whispered to the guards behind me, "Changsheng is a cronie around Jiulang, I also need to leave him some thin noodles, the big road is unwalkable, do you think there is a small road to walk?"

"This ......" The guards looked at each other, revealing embarrassment. I leaned over and patted the horse's head, glanced at them a few times, and pretended to smile casually, "Although this Dawan horse is of a good breed, it is still inferior to my original mount." The road back to Chang'an is dangerous, and this horse is afraid that he is unwilling to take another step. It's a pity that I don't like cowering waste, you say, it's better to go back to Liangzhou now, and then call Master Pei to slaughter it and eat it, which can be regarded as making the best use of things. ”

"Princess, the ministers should be damned!" One of the guards stood up, although there was still timidity on his face, "It's not that the path is not empty, but you also know that princess, this place is a border area, and the Central Plains Hu people are mixed, and there are many robbers and gangsters. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to me a large stretch of continuous black mountain not far away, "This black mountain stretches all the way to Chang'an Pass, the road is not very rugged, but robbers in the mountains are infested, and even officers and soldiers have no way." In the past, many chariots and horses in the imperial court passed through this place, and their whereabouts were never found after that. The mountain is full of ghosts all year round, and is known as the 'White Bone Mountain'. ”

The guard paused and asked, "Princess, to go or not to go?"
