After determining everyone's identity, Izumo arranges for the show girls to get into the carriage.

The narrow mountain road was not suitable for large carriages, so the five carriages responsible for taking the show girls into the palace were all only two horses. Each compact car can only seat about seven or eight people. And there are more than 50 show girls who survived, which obviously exceeds the carrying capacity of the carriage.

Shen Yan'er was puzzled, and climbed into the carriage at the urging of Lu Mingyue. She kindly sat inside and gave up her place to Lu Mingyue. Who knew that Lu Mingyue shook her head at her, smiled, and turned to leave.

Where Lu Mingyue walked, there were about twenty show girls. They stood indifferently, some bowed their heads and pondered, some looked at the distant mountains, and some watched the other show girls leave, their attitudes were very leisurely, and they had no intention of leaving.

After seeing such a scene, Shen Yan'er suddenly realized, and muttered: "I see, ...... five carriages are indeed enough, because almost half of the more than fifty survivors are not real show girls. For example, Lu Mingyue, she was sent by the Tai Hospital. As for the identities of other people, Shen Yan'er does not know.

Moreover, among these five carriages, there are also maids like Ah Zhen who follow the young lady to participate in the trial, so there are not even twenty show girls who are really qualified to be concubines.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er turned her head and asked Yi Xiangxi beside her in a low voice: "How many of the sweeping mothers survived?" Yi Xiangxi shook her head lightly and said, "Not a single one." Luckily, I didn't wait in the supply warehouse, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to reach the exit before the lights were completely out. ”

Shen Yan'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart. I vaguely remember that Yi Xiangxi once said that this year, the Wei family arranged more than 50 sweepers for Wei Shixuan to secretly protect her, but I didn't expect that in the end, only Yi Xiangxi was left who could see the sunset.

Of course, such a tragic death of the Wei family should be said to be all due to Yi Xiang. Xi Yu was killed by her design, and even Wei Shixuan died because of her, no wonder there was no trace of sadness in her indifferent expression.

"No matter what you think of me, but in my heart, you are a lucky star for me." Yi Xiangxi sneered and said, "Because of you, I met the three of them......"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Kou Xuebing, Xiaoqing, and Miao Pu.

Shen Yan'er's chest sank suddenly, and an indescribable bitterness flowed through her body. Kou Xuebing has almost become a competent sweeper, Xiaoqing has replaced Wei Shixuan, and Miao Pu has also been controlled by Yi Xiangxi. The reason why these three people are what they are today is more or less caused by Shen Yan'er. Shen Yan'er had mixed feelings in her heart.

"Aren't you curious about who my real master is?" Yi Xiangxi suddenly came over, so close that her teeth almost touched Shen Yan'er's ear, "I will tell 'that person' the truth about what you did in the mass grave and everything you said to me." He will decide exactly what to do with you. Just wait......"

The explicit threat made Shen Yan'er tremble, and half of her body near Yi Xiangxi stiffened. She was anxious and afraid, she didn't think much about it, and replied fiercely with a certain heart of death: "I know that I can't fight you, if you want to kill you, you have to listen to it." However, I would like to advise you as soon as possible. A wicked man is his own hell. Wait for the day of retribution. ”

After speaking, his whole body trembled slightly. Even she didn't know if she was angry or scared. To her surprise, Yi Xiangxi was not angry, but after looking at her meaningfully, she moved her gaze out the window.

Outside the window is a lush forest of trees, and the golden sunset divides the sky into blue and white parts. The cool mountain breeze blows through the leaves one after another, bringing a continuous "rustling" sound. Occasionally, a few sharp birdsongs tear the quiet atmosphere in the mountains and forests, accompanied by the sound of "fluttering wings", echoing between the green mountains and green waters.

Yi Xiangxi kept staring at the prosaic mountain scenery outside the window, and was silent for a long time. And Shen Yan'er kept staring at her quiet side face. Looking at it, I suddenly noticed that she had become stranger.

She is no longer the Yi Xiangxi who reprimands people with angry eyebrows at every turn, nervous and alert and calm anytime and anywhere, always able to make decisive decisions when encountering danger, and murderous and insidious and cunning. and became another strange woman that Shen Yan'er had never seen before, who seemed particularly lonely because she hid a lot of secrets and stories......

"That person, I should like you......" Yi Xiangxi, who was still staring out the window, suddenly said lightly, firm and uneasy, "...... I have this hunch. ”

Shen Yan'er was confused. Although Yi Xiangxi didn't look at her, she knew that Yi Xiangxi's words were meant for herself. Who is "that person"? Shen Yan'er didn't have the courage to ask, she just looked at Yi Xiangxi's hair blown by the breeze in a daze.

On the uneven mountain road, every time the wheel runs over the stones, it brings a slight bump. Shen Yan'er slowly swayed with the body, swaying from side to side.

I don't know if it was because she was stunned, she felt that her mind was violently swirling, but it was blank and thoughtless.

Along the way, no one continued to speak.

When the carriage drove into the Imperial City, it was already evening.

Before the carriage she was riding in drove past the city gate, Shen Yan'er heard a commotion in the imperial city. The road was lined with people, some calling excitedly, others craned their necks, searching the carriage with expectant eyes. The former is ordinary to watch lively, and the latter is the relatives of the show girls.

Shen Yan'er was no stranger to such a scene, because she was also one of those people at all. Just last year, she was still lying on the railing on the second floor of the Shen Family Restaurant with curiosity, leisurely looking at the carriage passing downstairs.

At that time, she only felt that the eyes of the show girls were full of joy and sorrow that she couldn't understand. It is only now, having experienced the test of mass graves, that she finally understands that the indescribable joy and sorrow is the sense of rebirth that has just struggled from the brink of death.

Although it was already evening, the streets were more lively than when they were in the market. Shen Yan'er watched them quietly, a deep sense of exhaustion and sympathy welling up in her heart.

To this day, they are still kept in the dark, not knowing that the existence of the walking corpse is related to the imperial court, and they do not know the terrible consequences that may be brought about if the walking corpse breaks out in the market. That's why they can cheer, laugh, and live a peaceful life day after day. I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune.

Thinking about it, Shen Yan'er suddenly found that the scenery in front of her gradually became familiar. Every house, every shop, even every sign and every door, she could immediately draw in her mind with her eyes closed.

She couldn't help but get up suddenly, leaning on the window excitedly, looking out.

At this moment, she clearly realized that she was about to pass by the Shen Family Restaurant!
