When Yun Yao left, it was already past noon.

Liu Che and Princess Pingyang remained in the house, as if discussing the Queen Mother's condition. Yun Yao didn't dare to stay longer, so she bypassed the corridor in three or two steps, and then bypassed two water pavilions and pavilions, and only then did she vaguely see the shadow of the mansion gate.

House Gate?

This is Binh Duong Princess Mansion?

Yun Yao guessed that this was Princess Pingyang's Mansion, but she didn't confirm it. Because her current situation is very bad, all the lords have left, and she is alone, without a maid with her, and she can't even find a place to go back.

When she returned to her soul just now, there were two maids by her side, but they were the maids in Princess Pingyang's mansion.

She couldn't ask the maids where she lived. will definitely be beaten out by Princess Pingyang.

Yun Yao stood still for a while, touching her sleeve, trying to find two copper coins.

But it's a pity that as a surrogate princess, "she" doesn't carry any silver money on her.

Then Yun Yao had no choice, so she found a flower bush and broke three grass stems.

There is no yarrow here, and the grass stalks of two wild grasses can barely be used in an emergency.

The first hexagram, south.

The second hexagram, Nan.

The third hexagram, south.

Yun Yao threw the three grass stems back into the flowers, lowered her head, and slowly walked towards the south.

"Liu Yan."

A cold voice sounded behind her, with a hint of ridicule and warning.

Yun Yao turned around slowly, and saw a person standing in the shadow in the corner.

That person has apricot eyes and peach cheeks, light willow eyebrows, and long hair neatly tied behind him, who is it not Liu Ling?

When Liu Ling saw Yun Yao's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. She walked up to Yun Yao in three steps and two steps, and threatened in a low voice, "What's the matter, dumb?" When His Majesty left you just now, you didn't have the slightest intention of refusing it. Liu Yu, I tell you, in this Chang'an City, there are people everywhere who can kill you. If you don't want to stay, go back to Daiguo as soon as possible, and don't stay for a day. ”

Yun Yao touched the bamboo slip in his sleeve and called tentatively: "Lord Lingweng? ”

She wasn't sure what to call Liu Ling, so she chose the most unfamiliar name.

Sure enough, Liu Ling sneered: "'Lord Lingweng'? Last night, Sister Ling was long and Sister Ling was short, and when she knew that she was going back to the country, she immediately became the 'Lord of Ling'? Liu Yan, I warn you—"

"Sister Ling." Yun Yao was as good as a stream, and shook the bamboo slip in his hand again, "The sun is poisonous here." ”

Liu Ling stopped talking. It was past noon, and the sun was shining brightly. The pedestrians who came and went on the street were looking at the two of them with a look of surprise, as if they were watching something strange.

- This is the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, and you can't entangle with the princess here.

Liu Ling froze, beckoned to the coachman in the shadow of the corner, and said in a low voice, "Follow me back to the Huainan Palace." ”

……

Well, now the question of where to go is solved.

Yun Yao accompanied the Huainan princess, sat in the rickety carriage of the Huainan Palace, and began to lose her mind.

She knew that she should take this opportunity to ask something from the mouth of the princess of Huainan, but now her eyes were black, and she didn't even know where she lived, let alone the relationship between the two princesses.

Yun Yao froze and pretended to be worried: "I will go back to Huainan Mansion with Sister Ling, won't they be worried?" ”

She used the word "they" vaguely, without explicitly referring to them. These two words can refer to the guard, to the housekeeper, to the groom, to the father and brother whom he has never met, or even to the nurse and the maidservant, and so on.

Liu Ling sneered and said, "You have been living in my house for half a month. It's too late to think about it now. ”

Yun Yao turned her head silently.

She really didn't know that "she" had been living in Huainan Wangfu for half a month!

But there are other things that you still have to try to inquire...... Yun Yao settled down again, carefully organized the wording, and knocked on the side a few more times. After a while, she deduced something from Liu Ling's words.

First of all, the acting princess is the little follower of the Huainan princess, and from the first day she came to Chang'an City, she followed Liu Ling and made promises.

- No wonder Liu Ling's words and deeds are not polite to the acting princess at all.

Secondly, the princess often sighed that she should not occupy the magpie's nest, and the time to leave was coming soon.

- No wonder she suddenly changed her soul at the banquet, it turned out that the previous princess was the wandering spirit.

In the end, the acting princess obeyed Liu Ling's orders in everything, and had almost no ideas of her own.

- No wonder at the banquet just now, Liu Ling would threaten and warn her.

After Yun Yao sorted out these things, her heart slowly settled down. She followed Liu Ling's example, leaned on the other side of the carriage and closed her eyes, and said something else to Liu Ling, and suddenly heard Liu Ling say coldly: "I advise you, don't go back to Daiguo now." ”

Yun Yao opened her eyes and looked at Liu Ling in surprise.

Liu Ling still maintained his previous appearance of closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, and said coldly: "Liu Che is obviously trying to raise grain and grass, but in fact he is trying to test the princes and kings. 'I want to send troops to Shanggu and Daijun'...... Hmph, when he said this, Daiguo was already in a fierce battle. ”

Yun Yao's cold sweat was about to break out.

She recalled Liu Che's sentence just now, "A month ago, Gongsun Ao had led troops to Daijun", and her underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

That's right, Liu Che has already sent troops, and he sent troops a long time ago.

"What, don't you believe it?" Liu Ling opened his eyes and saw the acting princess in front of him with a stunned face, and sneered, "When I was in Huainan Kingdom, I heard that this young man was heroic. For a person like him, if there was a shortage of grain and grass in the court, he would never send troops to the Xiongnu. He claimed that he 'wanted' to send troops, so he must have already sent troops. ”

"As for why that majesty wants to 'raise grain and grass among the vassal states', hum...... In the previous dynasty, there was a rebellion of the seven kings, and there were princes and kings who secretly / communicated with the Xiongnu to seek the throne. Liu Che said this, naturally in order to test and knock those vassal states. ”

Yun Yao said with difficulty: "That, that ......" Then why did he let himself tell the acting king not to hold back?

Wait, yes, now that Liu Che has sent troops to Daijun, he must be hiding it from the acting king.

By the time the acting king knew that Liu Che had sent troops, it was already after he returned to the country.

"Therefore, our majesty, killing two birds with one stone, attacked the east and the west, and under the pretext of attacking the Huns, he tested the reality of the vassal states, and his thoughts were very deep. If you want to go back to the Daiguo, you can, but the current Daiguo is probably already in a fierce war, and if you go back now, the disaster will be greater than the blessing. ”

When Liu Ling said this, he glanced at Yun Yao again, and said coldly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you." ”

Yun Yao pinched herself hard, until a sharp pain came from the back of her hand, and she suddenly realized that she was still in the world.

The carriage quickly drove into the Huainan Palace, and then another servant stepped forward and arranged a dormitory for Yun Yao. Yun Yao caught a glimpse of a bush of peonies opening behind the dormitory, so she picked up some petals and gave herself a hexagram.

She wants to know whether she will be lucky or evil if she returns to Daiguo now.

The hexagram is presented as: auspicious.

Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and after bathing and changing clothes, she slept on the couch in Huainan Palace.

——————————————————

Early the next morning, Yun Yao bid farewell to the princess of Huainan.

When she went, the princess of Huainan had not yet gotten up, and was lazily lying on the couch, waiting for the maid to rub her shoulders. After listening to Yun Yao's intentions, she asked in the cold and somewhat sarcastic tone she had before, "Have you really thought about it?" Returning to the country immediately? ”

Yun Yao endured it and said, "I've thought about it, please ask Sister Ling to send someone to send me home." ”

The princess of Huainan waved her hand and told the maid to go out to prepare the car, and then lay down lazily.

Don't get angry with her. She didn't know her well.

Yun Yao silently retreated, and it wasn't until she saw the bright sunshine outside the house that she felt better. The Huainan Palace's work speed was very fast, and she was sent back to the Daiwang Mansion in a short time. The luggage, the chariot and the escort guards in the palace were all prepared early in the morning, waiting for the acting princess to leave for China.

From Chang'an City to the capital of the king, if you don't count the stops on the way, it will take about a month.

Of course, if you use a fast horse, day and night, it will take about four or five days to arrive.

On the way to the royal capital of the Hui Dynasty, the scene Yun Yao saw in front of her eyes, from the prosperity of Chang'an City, to the golden waves of rice in the fields, to a lush forest and field, and finally turned into a full of devastation.

This is probably the land of Daikoku. The south is still peaceful, and when it reaches the north, there are traces of the Huns plundering in the south, nine out of ten houses are abandoned, the barns are empty, and even the wheat fields are barren, and they have been abandoned for a long time.

In the dead of night, Yun Yao took advantage of everyone's inattention and floated out of her body.

A faint shadow appeared in the hazy moonlight, and slowly disappeared from its tracks.

She floated all the way north along the barren wheat fields, and she didn't know where she went. The scene around them went backwards, from a barren wheat field, to a thorn bush burned by fire, and finally to the edge of a dense grove.

Just before nightfall, she had made a divination that showed that the person she was looking for was here.

There was a faint sound of conversation in the grove, and there was a faint sound of water rushing by.

The shadow floated around the grove, and at last found a more secluded ditch in a hidden place. She slowly floated along the small river ditch, and sure enough, she saw a camp set up inside, and the Han army was sitting in twos and threes, as if they were keeping vigil.

She floated around the tent again, and suddenly saw a bronze mask.

It was still a cold, hideous mask, illuminated by the hazy moonlight, which looked even more like a ghost. The mask rested silently on a small mound, behind which were the Han army on the night vigil and the rushing water. Her husband sat under the moonlit night, wiping the spear.

His movements were careful and slow, and the silver-white tip of the spear shone coldly in the moonlight, making people shudder.

The shadow slowly drifted to the side of the mound, touching the mask lightly, and then his spear. Her shadow had no substance, like a hazy mist, and it dispersed at the slightest touch. She floated around him in anguishedness, and looked at the night vigil sergeants in anguishedness, fluttering and fluttering, and finally twisting herself into a knot.

Oh no.

Little by little, she untied herself, and reverted to a faint shadow.

So, now, should she show her figure? ……

It's a bit distressing.
