"It shows that nearby villagers have come here to cut grass and collect firewood."

"If you look closely, you will occasionally see some grass and trees that have been trampled, and they should have reached the edge of the woods, and if you follow it, you will soon be able to get out." Liu Yichen talked eloquently, and the corners of his mouth were warm.

Saying this, Song Zhiyao also saw the traces of people walking, and suddenly became more down-to-earth.

In fact, she is good at guessing things through clues, and the last time she helped Xu Ce find Xu Xiaobao, she used this ability to the extreme.

But she has no experience in surviving in the wild, and if no one passes by, she can't extract clues and guess.

Let's go!

Song Zhiyao's voice was full of excitement.

Liu Yichen stared at her behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

This time, it didn't take long for the two to embark on an obvious trail that was walked out of.

Without the inexplicable branches scraping her clothes, Song Zhiyao felt much freer.

"No, I must find a few more books on survival in the wild when I go back this time, otherwise, the next time I encounter this situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out by myself."

Song Zhiyao immediately made an arrangement for herself.

Liu Yichen's smile deepened, and his voice was slightly disgusted: "You still want to be assassinated next time you are alone?" Can't you just think of something good? ”

"As for the books, do you want to come to my study to get them?"

Song Zhiyao smiled: "So, the book I took last time hasn't been returned to His Highness!" ”

Liu Yichen: "Well, there's no hurry. ”

Anyway, sooner or later he will obediently return to his bookshelf.

It turns out that Liu Yichen's sense of direction is comparable to that of a compass.

The two of them didn't go far along the trail before they saw the smoke curling in the distance, and the green brick and grass hut bathed in the sunset, giving birth to the tranquility of the years. "It's finally out." Song Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

After staying in the silent woods for a long time, there is still an indescribable sense of oppression.

Song Zhiyao turned her head to look at Liu Yichen, her eyes were shining, with expectation.

Liu Yichen blinked: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Song Zhiyao smiled: "Your Highness, we have been walking in the woods for so long, when will your people be able to find it?" ”

Liu Yichen suddenly couldn't help laughing: "You want to go back so much? ”

"Of course." Song Zhiyao: "If you have to do it, who likes to stay overnight in a completely unfamiliar place." ”

"What's more, I'm also afraid that Ah Yue will be worried, I'm afraid that Qiu Lan will blame herself, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Liu Yichen nodded, meaning something: "Tonight, there will indeed be many people who can't sleep...... However, it may be difficult for you to return to the capital. ”

"I didn't expect that river to float down the river and go so far."

"There is a distance from the official road here, even if you get to the official road, it will take two hours to get to the capital on horseback, and now, we ...... There is something

Is it? ”

Song Zhiyao was stunned: "Horseback riding? ”

"Yes, we don't have horses, and in a village like this, let alone horses, I don't think we can even find a few cows."

Liu Yichen said slowly, not understanding Song Zhiyao's expression.

"I don't know how to ride a horse." Song Zhiyao said with a sad face.

Liu Yichen's expression was stunned, and he was surprised: "You actually ...... No? ”

The dignified general Wu, the daughter of the god of war of the Rainbow Kingdom, can't ride a horse?

It's incredible just to think about it.

Song Zhiyao snorted coldly: "My nurse, I have always hoped that I can live an ordinary life, when I was a child, I practiced martial arts purely to strengthen my body, I fished for three days and dried nets for two days, I never insisted on concentrating, she never cared, she depended on me." ”

"It's so tiring to practice martial arts, and the children are greedy for fun, so they're basically stranded."

"My family lives in the town, and although the yard is not small, there is no place to ride horses, in short, this and that...... I've never learned to ride a horse. ”

In his previous life, when he arrived in the capital, he first accompanied the exam, and after falling out with Li Yihan, he entered the Hongwang Mansion.

It's not easy to go out on weekdays, where is the opportunity to learn to ride a horse?

Liu Yichen: "......"

This was unexpected.

"And now? Do you want to learn? ”

Song Zhiyao raised her eyebrows: "Of course, just like now, if there is a thousand-mile horse in front of me, I can't ride away, I can't go back, how uncomfortable it is!" ”

Liu Yichen couldn't help laughing: "Then, it has to be arranged, but you have martial arts, not just a three-legged cat, you will learn it quickly." Song Zhiyao: "Oh, I hope so." ”

"After returning to the city, if you want to learn, you can find me, or you can find Xihua, there are places."

Liu Yichen said generously.

Song Zhiyao nodded, feeling impatient.

"But Your Highness, what are we going to do now?"

Go to the village, if you can rent an ox cart, hopefully take us to the nearest town.

The two of them still stepped forward unhurriedly, and before they entered the village, they saw several figures running in the village.

The hurried appearance shook the two of them in place.

Liu Yichen's eyes sank, and the mist was deep: "Be careful, these people are steady and fast, and they look like they are practicing their families, not ordinary villagers." ”

Song Zhiyao was stunned: "Oh? ”

In a trance, she suddenly felt that the person running at the front was a little familiar.

Before she could remember, the woman in front had already arrived, with an excited face: "The slave has seen the master." ”

Liu Yichen: "......"

This is not his man.

looked at Song Zhiyao.

Song Zhiyao came back to her senses and vaguely remembered something: "Are you, Holly?" ”

Holly had a very tender face, and looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and her flickering eyes were full of agility.

At this time, he was so excited: "It's a slave, master, do you remember the slave?" ”

Song Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "Of course I remember, you came to see me, I remember everything." ”

Xia Lan told her that spring, summer, autumn and winter plus the seven colors of the rainbow were the twenty-eight henchmen who had been cultivating her.

Some of them came to the capital years ago, and some of them arrived a year later, and they went to the courtyard in batches to meet her a while ago.

Because of the age gap between those who have met in their previous lives, many people only feel a little familiar and cannot recognize them at a glance.

Moreover, in these years, if he unfortunately dies, he will continue to train and make up twenty-eight people.

Therefore, the people I see now are different from those I saw later in my previous life.

Regarding Holly, Song Zhiyao still comes from the memory of her previous life, as Xia Lan's good sister, she came to visit relatives in Hongwangfu.

Holly smiled sweetly: "The master's memory is really good. ”

Song Zhiyao was puzzled: "Why are you here?" Could it be that this village ......"

Holly nodded: "Yes, master, this is the Zhuangzi under your name, the green and purple are all here." ”

Song Zhiyao understood, Holly was talking about spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there were a total of twelve people with green, blue and purple.

Because of the four blues, Chun Lan and Xia Lan have already arrived at her side.

Qiu Lan has been replaced, the original Qiu Lan and the next Dong Lan are in Jin Niang's brocade workshop.

The people who came from behind gave Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen salutes.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, this king wouldn't have believed that there was such a coincidence in the world, and you ran for your life and fled to your own territory?" Liu Yichen said rarely.

Song Zhiyao was dumbfounded: "Obviously, His Royal Highness was chased and fled, and I was implicated." ”

"Moreover, I haven't had time to come over this Zhuangzi, so I don't know."

Liu Yichen expressed his disapproval: "This is your Zhuangzi, then dare to be affectionate, we will not be short of horses tomorrow."

This is the place where the master of Zhuangzi is home.

"Master, we have received news about you, and we were about to rush over to find you, but I didn't expect you to go to Zhuangzi."

Holly said energetically.

Song Zhiyao nodded: "I didn't expect it, by the way, Your Highness, the capital must not be peaceful, don't you have to send a message back?" ”

Liu Yichen didn't care: "Then it's annoying Miss Song." ”

"Then, Holly, you deliver a message to the capital and pass it on to the Xihua County Lord, she naturally knows to inform the Rui Palace."

Song Zhiyao felt that it was better for her people to get along directly with Rui Wangfu.

Now, many people know that Liu Yichen was hunted down and disappeared with a woman, but few people can contact her.

It's messy enough now, so it's better not to jump out.

Holly hurriedly agreed: "Master, the slave and maid will go, the slave and maid have already asked people to prepare hot water, and the master and His Royal Highness King Rui will wash up first, and then rest after dinner." ”

Song Zhiyao nodded, watched Holly leave, and suddenly collapsed on the chair very unattractively: "Fortunately, I finally don't have to sleep in a stranger's place tonight." ”

Liu Yichen took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter? Green, blue, purple, is there red, orange and yellow? I didn't expect you to have so many available people in your hands? No wonder I lack money like me. ”

Song Zhiyao turned her head to look at him and smiled: "Your Highness is really so short of silver?" ”

Anyway, she didn't believe it.

Liu Yichen replied vaguely: "What are you going to do with the matter of the Tongtian Silver Number?" If you can make it multiplier, you won't be short of silver

Finish. ”

"Tens of millions of taels, hehe, it's more rich than the treasury, I'm really afraid you won't be able to keep it."

Song Zhiyao frowned: "This matter is indeed a difficult problem. ”

With only 500,000 taels, she is enough to become a fat sheep in the eyes of many people.

Tens of millions of taels, if Tongtian Silver is unwilling, she may be sold directly to the emperor.

With such a sum of silver, it is impossible for the emperor, whose treasury is becoming more and more empty year by year, not to be moved.

"What about Your Highness? Not impressed? ”

Liu Yichen glanced at her: "Are you testing me?" ”

Song Zhiyao chuckled: "Isn't Your Highness often testing me?" Just ask casually, Your Highness is very tight. ”

Liu Yichen sneered: "Since you and I have made our identities clear, have I ever tested you?" Before, it was just to know how much truth you knew, but there was no malicious temptation. ”

Song Zhiyao blinked: "I'm ...... Just ask casually, there is no malice, huh? ”

Liu Yichen propped his elbows on the chair and held his finger against his chin, full of aura: "Then if I answer that I am excited, what about you?" ”

Song Zhiyao laughed: "If Tongtian Silver is really so honest in compensation, I will give the silver to His Highness, and leave me some small amount to support my subordinates."

Yes. ”

Liu Yichen raised his eyebrows: "It turned out that he wanted to cause trouble." ”

Song Zhiyao was stunned and thought: "There is too much silver...... It is indeed a hot potato, if His Royal Highness takes it and does not give it away, he is afraid that he will ...... "I am afraid that the old emperor will have to stare at it every day, and try his best to make this son take the initiative to hand it in."

"It's a pity, there is so much silver out of the Tongtian Silver Trumpet, it will definitely not be kept secret to me, and it will be publicized until everyone in the world knows about it."

"In order to enhance the reputation of Tongtian Silver for honesty and trustworthiness."

Liu Yichen agreed: "People have made a lot of money, don't they let people get some benefits?" ”

Song Zhiyao sighed: "It seems that the money in the back can't be wanted, and besides, it actually hired a killer to kill me today, and it has already torn its face, how can I not fight back after being beaten?" ”

"There's no evidence that it's the Silver Trumpet, it's all just speculation." Liu Yichen reminded.

Song Zhiyao squinted: "Naturally, I won't wronged it without any evidence." ”

"Compared to the Tongtian Silver, I am just a little grasshopper, and I will not provoke it casually."

Song Zhiyao chuckled: "However, I am not handling the case by the government, and I don't need definite evidence, as long as I can confirm that it is it, I will return the revenge of this assassination." ”

A flash of appreciation flashed in Liu Yichen's peach blossom eyes.

Capable but not abused, is a wise man.

After bathing, she changed into the clothes that Zhuangzi gave her to spare.

Noticing the silver silk soft armor that he took off, he inexplicably remembered Liu Yichen's admonition in his mind, and picked it up and put it on.
