After Kang Yanxin left, Wang Jizhong's mind seemed to be emptied, and he didn't know where he was for a long time, he didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't even know what happened just now. He sat under the eaves and stared distractedly at the temple gates. Although, from time to time, people came in and out, but he didn't seem to see anything. He didn't hear the bells of the temple, the chanting of the monks, or the striking of the wooden fish. He seems to be more focused than the monk meditating, and the original god keeps one.

Suddenly, as if stimulated by something, he woke up from his trance, stood up and walked towards the outside of the temple. I happened to meet Yuanxu who went out and returned.

Yuan Xuan asked: "Jizhong, you want to go out?" ”

Wang Jizhong said: "Well, I'm going to the palace." ”

"To the palace?" Yuan Xuan said, "I just came back from the palace, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Wang Jizhong said hesitantly: "I want to see the Queen Mother." ”

Yuan Xu said: "See the Queen Mother? You'd better not go, the Queen Mother has been very upset these days. ”

Wang Jizhong said: "The Queen Mother is upset, why is she upset? ”

Yuan Xuan whispered: "I heard that the princess of Yue Guo is angry with the queen mother, and the matter of establishing the queen also makes the queen mother feel uncomfortable, at this time, you had better not go to her." ”

Wang Jizhong said: "But······ What are you doing in the palace? ”

Yuan Xu said: "Some time ago, didn't the small temple do a transcendent ritual event? The court has a reward, let the poor monks go to receive the reward, you see that people have sent it to the temple. ”

Wang Jizhong looked at it, and sure enough, there was a load and carriage lined up at the gate of the temple, and someone was unloading things.

Yuan Xuan pulled Wang Jizhong aside, and said, "There are still things that the Queen Mother gave you, and I sent someone to send them over." ”

As he was talking, he saw a palace maid leading two strong men to each carry a pair of burdens, walked in front of Wang Jizhong, bowed to Wang Jizhong twice, and said, "How is the general lately?" ”

Wang Jizhong was very familiar with the voice, looked at it intently, recognized it as Zhao Zongyuan, and said in surprise: "It's you?" How are you? ”

Zhao Zongyuan hurriedly said: "It's me, the general, it's me, the general doesn't recognize me?" ”

"It's not that you're ······" Wang Jizhong said incoherently, "You have entered the palace, yes, you have entered the palace, are you doing well in the palace?" ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

Wang Jizhong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good, it's good." ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "Some time ago, the slave maid heard that the general was sick, and the slave maid was so anxious that he couldn't eat for a few days. Why are you sick? ”

Wang Jizhong said: "It's nothing, just a little bit of wind and cold, okay, okay." ”

Yuan Xuan said: "Ouch, don't stand here and talk, go into the house." ”

Wang Jizhong also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, go into the house." ”

Yuan Xu beckoned people to move the reward items into the abbot, and Zhao Zongyuan followed Wang Jizhong to his temporary room.

Wang Jizhong introduced Zhao Zongyuan into the house and asked the two porters to put down their burdens. Zhao Zongyuan took out some reward money and gave them some reward money and asked them to wait outside the temple.

After the porter left, Zhao Zongyuan took out a package from the burden and opened it, wrung out a jujube red silk jacket, handed it to Wang Jizhong, and said, "The slave maid made a jacket for the general, and the general tried it." ”

Wang Jizhong took the jacket and said, "Who asked you to do it?" Did you steal? It's not a joke, and if you don't get it right, you'll kill your head. ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "The general rest assured, the slave will not risk killing the head for a jacket, some time ago, the queen mother asked the slave to make a leather jacket for the general, the slave and the maid were worried that the general would not be used to it, so he told the queen mother that he wanted to make a silk jacket for the general, and the queen mother agreed at that time, and the slave dared to make it." Put it on and try it out. ”

Wang Jizhong exhaled and put down his jacket.

Zhao Zongyuan said: "Try it, see if it fits." ”

Wang Jizhong said: "You don't need to try, it will definitely fit, and that leather jacket will fit very well." ”

Zhao Zongyuan also had to take the things in the burden out.

Wang Jizhong said: "There is one thing, I haven't asked you. ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "What's the matter? ”

Wang Jizhong said: "What are you doing in Khitan? ”

Zhao Zongyuan was stunned for a moment, stood up, and said after a while: "Don't do anything, I was captured." ”

Wang Jizhong looked at Zhao Zongyuan and said, "No, you came for a purpose, you didn't tell the truth." ”

Zhao Zongyuan stood there stunned, his eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his hands were tightly twisted together. Finally, she bit her lip and said, "Today, the slave and maid will not hide it from the general, I am here to find someone." ”

Wang Jizhong was very surprised and asked, "Are you looking for someone?" ”

Zhao Zongyuan nodded vigorously.

Wang Jizhong asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zhao Zongyuan sighed and said slowly, "My daughter." ”

"Your daughter?" Wang Jizhong was surprised and said, "Why is your daughter in Khitan?" ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "To be honest, I don't know where she is, whether she is dead or alive." ”

Wang Jizhong asked puzzledly: "Since you don't know where she is, how can you come to Khitan to look for it?" ”

Zhao Zongyuan suddenly cried and said, "She was lost in Khitan, and she was lost in Youdu." ”

Wang Jizhong said: "Your daughter was lost in Youdu? How do you know she's lost in the secluded capital? ”

Zhao Zongyuan said: "The slave maid was with her at that time, and we were together. ”

Zhao Zongyuan said that, cried loudly, beat his chest and feet, and tears flowed like rain. Wang Jizhong was at a loss, he didn't know how to comfort her, and he burst into tears when he saw her broken liver and intestines.

At this time, the guards who sent the reward came to urge Zhao Zongyuan to go back to the palace, and Zhao Zongyuan had to stop his tears and get up to say goodbye. Wang Jizhong was sent out of the temple and returned to the house, suddenly, remembering that he only cared about tears just now, he forgot to ask her how her daughter lost it? Is there a clue? Alas, what a miserable man.

That night, Wang Jizhong had no sleep, first he always thought of Zhao Zongyuan, and later, he thought of his family, Bianjing, thousands of miles away, and the small garden of his home. Then I thought that winter was coming, and the family needed to buy firewood and charcoal for the winter. Children's winter clothes should also be prepared in advance. Later, he suddenly remembered these things in previous years, and he never thought about them. Now in this foreign country, I am thinking about these little things. He couldn't help but laugh secretly, but after a while, he burst into tears again. Just laughed and cried for a while, and fell asleep until the first dawn of the morning.

Suddenly, Wang Jizhong was awakened by a commotion, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already three poles, and he hurriedly got up to freshen up. I saw Brother Junhua of Yuzhan Lang coming over. Wang Jizhong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Brother Hua looked at Wang Jizhong and said, "Your kid doesn't look good, why is it such a good blessing?" ”

Wang Jizhong was puzzled and said with a smile: "In the next prisoner of war, where is the good fortune?" ”

Brother Hua said: "Someone has taken a fancy to you, and as soon as you come, you will climb into a good family." ”

Wang Jizhong was even more puzzled and said, "Where is there anything good to do next?" ”

Brother Hua said: "You kid is not shallow, and other people's beauties have taken a fancy to you." ”

Wang Jizhong said: "Who has taken a fancy to me? ”

Brother Hua said: "Miss Kang family, Kang Moji's granddaughter has taken a fancy to you. It's not too late, let me be a matchmaker for you. ”

Wang Jizhong was stunned and said, "No, it's not true. ”

Brother Hua said: "Why is it not true? How can the Queen Mother's words be false? ”

Wang Jizhong said: "No, this will not work. ”

Brother Hua said, "Why not? Don't you like people? ”

Wang Jizhong said: "No, how can I be worthy of Miss Kang as a captive? Please return to the Queen Mother, this family Wang Jizhong can't agree. ”
