It turned out that yesterday Aster saw the strangeness of me and Yuan Jue and others, and misunderstood my relationship with them.

Because I disguised myself as a man to conceal my identity, Ziyuan mistakenly thought that I was also a Yibu woman, a woman captured by Yuan Jue and his party during the march, and hid in the army in disguise as a man for various indescribable reasons.

"Girl, if you have any difficulties, just say it." Aster Road.

"It turned out that Mrs. Aster had misunderstood." I was thinking about how to explain to her the whole thing, but I was worried that she would be pretending to be friendly to me, deceiving my trust, and helping Xiong Lie find out the details of us. "Ten years ago, I went down the mountain for the first time, and I was entrusted by his dearest to take him as an apprentice, and after that, I returned to the mountain to continue my practice. It's just that ten years later, I suddenly felt that he was in danger, so I didn't care about anything else and went down the mountain to help him. ”

"Practice?" Unexpectedly, when Aster heard these two words, her face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" I don't know what the hell she's panicking about.

"It's fine. It's just that," Aster had quickly eased up, smiled slightly, and explained, "I used to think that those who didn't learn and didn't know how to blindly follow some divine power, but it can be seen that the girl is so reasonable but also cultivates, which is very unexpected." ”

Talent cultivation who doesn't learn and doesn't have skills? I noticed the flaw in her words, "Lady Aster, your face doesn't look very good, I wonder if you think of someone who makes you feel unhappy?" ”

She first waved her hand, unintentionally taking the initiative to tell me, but then sighed, "This is my family affair, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." I originally had a twin sister called Ziyuan. Before being accepted as a side room by the king, my original name was Ziyun. Ziyuan's temperament is completely different from mine, and she can't listen to half of her father's words, in fact, Ziyuan is the girl who grew up with the king, but she wants to practice, and she wants to get the ability beyond ordinary people. Girl, have you ever heard of the legend of the shrine maiden? ”

Ibe shrine maiden? It's a shrine maiden again? It's just that in the face of aster, I can't show it, so I pretend not to know. "I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with Lady Aster's sister?"

"There has always been a legend in the Yi Department, saying that among the Yi Ministry, there is a witch who has been inherited from ancient times, they can call the wind and rain, and have extremely strong mana, everyone knows that it is fake, but Ziyuan believes it." When Aster said this, she was a little annoyed, although she intended to restrain her feelings, but when she reacted, she still raised her voice slightly, "At that time, we thought, how can it be true, there have been many years of war in the Yi Ministry, if there is really a witch, how can I be bullied by Yu and several other small countries to the current state." Ziyuan had a big quarrel with her father and mother and ran away from home. ”

"And then?" I couldn't help but ask when I saw that she was about to speak.

Aster turned her head to the side and looked to the side, "After she left, the old leader chose a concubine for the current king, and my father and mother made the decision and gave me to the king as a side room." When Ziyuan got the news and came back, it was already half a month after my wedding to the king. Ziyuan was angry because she thought I knew that she liked the king......"

There are so many losses related to emotional entanglements in this world, not to mention, I have also met such a pair of sisters, I don't know how she is doing now. "Where is the Ziyuan girl, now?"

"She......" Aster's eyes wandered, as if she had gone far away, she seemed to want to be with Ziyuan instead of being trapped here, but she was a little apologetic and regretful, maybe because the former sisters couldn't go back because of such a man. Later, I heard that she had become a killer under the king, but no one had seen her again. I don't know if she's doing well now. ”

"Lady Aster wants me to help find Miss Ziyuan." I could hear what she was saying.

She said she wanted to help me, but she also hoped that I could help her. It turned out that she could not help but know that I was riding in the carriage with her, and that she wanted to ask her for some news, and because she had something to say to me. "Lady Aster, don't worry, if I learn of Miss Ziyuan's whereabouts, I will definitely bring your heart to her today."

"Thank you." Aster did not deny it. "Is there anything that Aster can help with that girl?"

I just thought she was very similar to someone, but at this moment, I didn't feel very much like her. Aster looks lonely and weak, but in fact she has a very strong heart, she is very strong and decisive, from her words, I even have some admiration for her.

She didn't just want my help, but she also sensibly offered to help me, not one-sidedly asking for help, which made me feel as if she didn't want to be treated like someone I needed to be sympathized with.

"Okay, I want to ask Lady Aster, how much do you know about the Yibe witch?" Since she just mentioned it, I don't need to hide it.

Lady Aster carefully recalled for a moment and said, "I've heard the legend of the Yibu shrine maiden since I was a child. There are many legends about the shrine maidens of the Yibe, and there are many kinds of them, but most of them are said to be terrifying-looking, or have three eyes, or have four arms...... But no one had ever seen them, and slowly, the legend of the Yibe shrine maiden became a story of the tribe scaring children, and the adults would always say that disobedient children would give them to the shrine maiden and let them be eaten. I know that they seem to have a very powerful ability, they can bring the dead back to life, and they can call the wind and rain, but I don't know when they started, everyone disliked the shrine maidens very much, as if they thought that they would be the embodiment of that evil and bring misfortune. ”

It turned out that the life experience of the witch would bring her so much misfortune, but I didn't expect the people of the Yi tribe to misunderstand it like this, no wonder she used to be so sad, sad and desperate when she talked about the rough fate of the witch.

Among these people I've seen, Jialan is the first one to sue me that there really is a Yibu witch in the zài. Jialan also said that she had a request for the Yibu witch, and it was the Yibu witch who gave her cultivation so that she could turn into a human form, but she was in a hurry at that time and didn't have time to find out, what did Yun Chu want to do with Jialan?

At that time, I just thought that Jialan was the one who Yun Chu used to lure me into my dream. But then I thought about it, it should be more than that, but unfortunately I beat Jialan away at that time, and now I don't know where to find her.

Ziyuan also hopes to find the Yibe witch, although she doesn't know what her wish is, but does she know that the Yibu witch is Yunchu? The woman lurking in the palace of King Yu and serving Mrs. Qimo. "By the way, does Mrs. Aster know about Mrs. Qimo? The Chinese lady of the palace of King Yu, I heard that she was also a princess of a tribe in Yibu. ”

"Naturally, I've heard that when the Hu tribe surrendered to Yu State, such a big thing, the entire Yibu was spreading, Ziyuan prefers these gossip, she will tell me if she inquires, how can I not know? Speaking of the Hu tribe, it is very close to the Qu Xiong, the Qu Xiong tribe was still the old leader at that time, but the old leader's temperament has always been like that, more things are better than less things. Naturally, if you can't hide, how can you help? What's more, the opponent is still a powerful country like Yu. "Zi Yun has her own opinions on the affairs of the government, not just tell me what she once heard like hearsay," It's just a pity that the leader of the Yihu tribe at that time was still an uncle of the old leader of Quxiong, and that Princess Qimo should also be the sister of the old leader and the aunt of the king. ”

"I didn't expect the Quxiong tribe and the Yihu tribe to have such a relationship," but in this case, I don't understand it even more, "Doesn't the king of Quxiong know that the second son is the son of Mrs. Qimo?" Why did he ......?"

Yuan Jue showed that Shang is still the son of Mrs. Qimo, if Xiong Lie knows about this relationship, he should not embarrass Yuan Jue at the time.

"Kinship and bloodline should be worthless on the battlefield." Aster's calm words made me understand in an instant.

At the beginning, the old leader of Qu Xiong had already been unable to save him from seeing death, not to mention the relationship between Xiong Lie and Yuan Jue, Aster was not wrong, after all, this is not just a blood relationship, but also the key to the survival of a tribe.

"Then ...... I still want to ask something."

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Aster calmly patted the back of my hand, "Okay, we're here, don't say any more." ”

She said that, and got up to get out of the car.

"Lady Aster," I called out to her behind her, "is the king trustworthy?" ”

Aster only stopped there for a moment, and didn't look back, but I could clearly hear her say, "Seventy, no more, no less." ”

After saying this, Aster opened the curtain of the carriage as if it was calm as before, and was helped out of the carriage by the maid who followed the carriage. Leave me alone in the carriage to continue in a daze.

Seventy percent, not much, no less? What does this mean? Is it said that you can only believe Xiong Lie seventy percent?

"Sister." Hou Yue stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Sister, are you okay, why don't you come down yet." ”

I pretended to be fine, smiled stiffly, and stepped out of the carriage. They waited, and the aster was as silent as ever, and I asked them, "Where are you going now?" ”

"This is already the training place of the Quxiong tribe, and we are now in the barracks." Aster said, pointing in a direction, "The front is where the big camp is, we might as well go there and have a look, maybe the big king and the second son are reviewing the big camp at the moment." ”

"It's fine." I noticed that after getting out of the carriage, Aster suddenly became as if she had deliberately distanced herself from me. I guess she probably didn't want people to notice what she said to me in the carriage, maybe she didn't want people to know about her asking for help from me, and she didn't want more people to know about Ziyuan, so I understood her intentions, and said in the polite tone she had before she got into the carriage.

The group of us walked in the direction that Aster had just pointed to. I was at the front, and the aster seemed to be parallel to me, but it was a little behind.

However, as I walked, I felt more and more uncomfortable, as if someone was watching us from a dark place.

I came down and turned to look a few directions behind me.

"What's wrong?" Aster also stopped and asked.

I frowned slightly, but I didn't see anything, thinking that I had just been too sensitive, so I could only shake my head and explain to her, "It's okay." ”

We continued to walk forward, but as soon as we took two steps, the feeling of being watched just now came back, and it became more and more intense, as if someone was really hiding in a place that we could not detect, secretly watching us.

"Sister. Is something wrong? Hou Yue took two steps, chased after me, and asked in a low voice.

I could only try not to alarm Aster and whispered to him, "I'll talk about it when I get back." ”

This time I kept an eye on it, and I didn't show it obviously, but I was secretly paying attention to the reactions of everyone around me, and Aster didn't seem to notice that someone was staring at us, and that kind of casualness didn't seem like it was pretending, maybe she really didn't feel it.

Instead, the two people who followed behind us, Vice General Qiao and Gao Yong, reacted a little unusually, they occasionally looked back, this move just verified my guess, they were naturally more sensitive than ordinary people's senses, and they should have sensed something wrong behind them.

It's just that since they haven't moved, I'm afraid they haven't seen other specific talents.

But who is it? Who can hide behind us and watch without everyone noticing? Or who has such a purpose and might do so? Observe our hands for what?

After a while, we had already walked to the camp, and Yuan Jue saw me, but he still didn't react.

It's okay to breathe a sigh of relief inexplicably, if he comes over now, I'll feel embarrassed. If he had come to me now to ask me how I was thinking, I would not have known what to say to him for a while.

Xiong Lie walked towards us, he just glanced at Aster as if he didn't care much at all, as if he was explaining to me, "Earlier, it was this king who mentioned yì to the second prince and temporarily came to review the army's morning exercise. The second son was worried that the girl would not rest well, so he specially sent someone to accompany the girl later. ”

Is he explaining what he said for Yuan Jue? Or are you emphasizing that they left me on purpose? Such intentions are really difficult to fathom, but when he explained to me, didn't he think about the aster that accompanied me?

Aster is his side wife, and he actually saw his side lady coming, and he didn't say a word of greeting, which is really incomprehensible.

Xiong Lie said that when Yuan Jue sent someone to accompany me later, I subconsciously went to see Yuan Jue's reaction. Unexpectedly, I happened to see Vice General Qiao walking to Yuan Jue's side, attached to Yuan Jue's side, as if saying something casually.

Looking at that reaction, I immediately thought that it might be to inform Yuan Jue that he was being followed on the way we came. (To be continued.) )
