Among the six people in the same group, Zhao Che's three dead soldiers almost didn't bring anything, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue only brought a few changes of clothes, and the rest were all Zhao Che's alone.

The things were basically left in the carriage and not taken out, and there was nothing to put away.

Shen Bai asked Zhou Jue to go to the backyard to collect the clothes that Zhao Che had changed and washed the day before yesterday, and went back to the room to get the baggage.

Shen Bai went downstairs first, and settled the accommodation fee and meal expenses with the innkeeper for the past few days, a total of eight taels and eight, because a few people did not come back to live last night, and the shopkeeper wiped the odds and only charged eight taels.

Shen Bai happily gave the silver, walked to Zhao Che's side, and asked in a low voice: "Young master, I know where the post station is, I can go by myself in a while, and first finish what you promised me last night?" ”

Seeing Gu Hengzhou, what had happened in the lieutenant camp before inevitably kept coming to mind, Shen Bai panicked, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gu Hengzhou.

A gentleman's words are difficult to follow, and Zhao Che, as the prince of a country, will naturally not break his word.

He drank the tea in his hand and said lightly: "Go ahead." ”

"Young Master Xie!"

Shen Bai said happily, turning his head and running out of the inn.

Gu Hengzhou's gaze chased after Shen Bai, and only then did he withdraw his gaze and look at Zhao Che until the person disappeared: "What did the young master promise him?" ”

Zhao Che played with the empty teacup in his hand, his eyebrows were cold, and he said, "It's nothing, I just promised to let him bury someone." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Hengzhou's eyes, he didn't expect Zhao Che to agree to Shen Bai's request.

Chu Yingtian didn't enter the inn, he kept holding Ah Wan's body and sitting in the carriage, Shen Bai jumped into the carriage with his baggage, waved his whip and went straight to the coffin shop in the city.

When they arrived, the coffin shop was about to close, and there was only a ready-made cypress coffin in the shop, and the wood was not very good, but the shopkeeper of the coffin shop was a good person, and he could see at a glance that Shen Bai urgently needed this coffin, and he would ask for five taels of silver when he opened his mouth and did not bargain.

Shen Bai didn't plan to bargain, but asked the shopkeeper to help carry the carriage to the outside of the city for burial, the shopkeeper felt that it was not cost-effective, and wanted to increase the price, Shen Bai asked for two wooden tablets, a total of seven taels, the shopkeeper totaled it, and finally nodded and agreed, beckoning the guy to pull a donkey cart from the backyard to pull the coffin, and bring a shovel, pickaxe and wax paper money.

The group staggered out of the city and walked two or three miles, and Shen Bai saw a small green hillside, which was facing Chu Yingtian's hometown Jiangbei.

"Phew~"

Shen Bai pulled the reins of the horse, lifted the curtain and said to Chu Yingtian: "Mr. is a craftsman, he should also know some feng shui, can you see if you can bury Mrs. Zun here?" ”

Chu Yingtian's eyes were hollow and his expression was numb, like a marionette, and he turned his eyes to look outside after a while.

This hillside is only a few meters high, and there happens to be a row of green trees growing on both sides, as if two teams of guards are protecting this place, the scenery is good, the feng shui is good, Chu Yingtian has nothing to pick, but his throat is dry and astringent, and he can't speak.

Seeing that the sun was getting more and more oblique, the coffin shop shopkeeper couldn't wait, and urged: "In the end, it's okay to give a sentence, what if you can't return to the city after a while?" ”

Shen Bai ignored them, only looked at Chu Yingtian, and said softly: "If Mr. feels bad, let's go forward and find a feng shui treasure to bury Mrs. well, and if there is a chance in the future, Mr. can come here every year to see their mother and son." ”

Shen Bai can fully understand Chu Yingtian's pain, Chu Yingtian is pitiful, but he can still bury Ah Wan's corpse and let Ah Wan be buried in the ground, but Gu Hengzhou was suddenly slashed under the horse and directly stepped into a pulp, not to mention the corpse, Shen Bai didn't even see Gu Hengzhou's ashes.

People die like lights go out, and no matter how good the feng shui is, they can't come back to life.

Chu Yingtian hugged Ah Wan tightly, and said in a dumb voice: "That's it, Ah Wan doesn't like to toss." ”

Shen Bai jumped out of the carriage and beckoned the coffin shop shopkeeper and his men to help dig the pit and take all the other things to be used next to the pit.

Since the beginning of autumn, it has not rained much, the pit is a little difficult to dig, the two of them dug for more than an hour to dig well, look up is already the remnant sun like blood, from time to time there are old crows passing by the forest quacking twice, listen to the panic.

The two climbed up and rested for a while, and saw that Chu Yingtian was still grinding in the carriage and couldn't get down, and was about to urge, Shen Bai gave the shopkeeper another one or two pieces of silver, and said in a low voice: "It's hard work for the two of you today, let's do the next thing ourselves, let's go back to the city first." ”

The two of them naturally had nothing to say after winning the reward, so they left the shovel with Shen Bai and returned to the city in a donkey cart.

Shen Bai'an sat quietly, watching the blood-red sunset slowly sink, and then watching the semi-circular moon slowly rise, and the cold moonlight sprinkled all over the ground.

The residual temperature on the surface dissipated, the night breeze suddenly rose, and a lot of leaves were blown off the trees, Shen Bai reached out and grabbed a piece, wiped it twice at will, and gently blew a song between his lips.

This song is a requiem used in the army, and after each major war, after cleaning up the battlefield, someone will play this song to see off the souls of those who died on the battlefield and could not return to their hometowns and could not have the name of the tomb.

Different from the grief and desolation of general mourning, the melody of this song is very gentle, occasionally a little light, I heard that this is the period of Emperor Wuzong, the song of the hometown of a soldier in the army, originally used by the mother at home to coax the child to sleep.

After blowing a tune, Chu Yingtian finally got out of the carriage with Ah Wan in his arms, Shen Bai just wanted to get up to help him, he pleaded in a low voice: "This tune is very good, can you blow it for my Ah Wan for a while?" ”

Shen Bai sat down again and continued to play the requiem.

Chu Yingtian slowly put Ah Wan into the coffin, kissed Ah Wan on the lips with great affection on the wedding day, then closed the coffin and hammered iron nails into the coffin with his own hands.

He used all his strength, and every time he smashed it, there would be a shiny spark bursting, and in every spark, there were bits and pieces of his and Ah Wan's past.

Those bits are hot and dazzling, but they are swallowed up by the dark night in the blink of an eye.

Nailed the coffin, Chu Yingtian climbed out of the pit, shoveled and filled in the soil, and after a while, a half-human-high mound of soil appeared on the hillside.

Chu Yingtian took a pile of paper money and put it on the mound of soil and pressed it with stones, picked up the blank wooden tablet next to it and prepared to write, but his hands were so shaky that he couldn't hold the pen at all.

The requiem blown out by Shen Bai paused for a moment and then returned to normal, Chu Yingtian clenched his fist and bit it hard, forcing himself to calm down, and wrote the names of his wife and children on the wooden tablet.

After erecting the wooden monument, Chu Yingtian burned all the paper money he brought.

Ah Wan didn't have a good life with him, and when he got below, he hoped that she could live better.

After the last piece of paper money was burned, the fire was completely extinguished, and the light at the bottom of Chu Yingtian's eyes was also extinguished, and the strength in his body was taken away by an invisible force, his body shook, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

Shen Bai spit out the leaves, walked to Chu Yingtian's side and probed his neck, his tentacles were hot, his pulse was very messy, and he had a high fever.

The situation was not very good, Shen Bai frowned slightly, grabbed Chu Yingtian and carried it on his shoulder, and said to Ah Wan apologetically: "I'm sorry, I will let him live well." ”

There was silence around, no one answered, only the cold night wind gently swept away the ashes of paper money on the ground.

Shen Bai carried Chu Yingtian into the car, although he knew that the city gate might have been closed a long time ago, he still drove the carriage back, rested at the city gate for the night, and it was good to enter the city early tomorrow morning to see Chu Yingtian's injuries.

There were no lanterns hanging on the carriage, and it was a little difficult to see the road conditions, Shen Bai drove very slowly when he returned to the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, Shen Bai took the reins of the horse and was about to get into the carriage for a night, but the heavy city gate creaked open.

Shen Bai sighed in surprise, thinking that something had happened in the city, but he saw Gu Hengzhou riding a hunting cloud and slowly approaching.

At the post station, he withdrew the dark gold armor, only wearing an ink-colored silver filigree embroidered flying fish suit, the officers and soldiers defending the city held torches, the firelight was gathered, the silver filigree flying fish scales on his body were shining, and the accustomed cold face was clearly extinguished under the firelight, but it revealed a strange gentleness.

It was as if he had been staying here, waiting for her to come back.

Shen Bai couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, but he heard Gu Hengzhou's cold question: "Don't want to enter the city yet?" ”

yes, I'm still angry.

Shen Bai didn't dare to provoke him, and hurriedly replied: "Think about it!" ”

As he spoke, Shen Bai grabbed the reins of the horse, whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and entered the city with a dada, Gu Hengzhou rode a horse next to her and paralleled her, crossed two streets, and saw a medical hall, Shen Bai tentatively spoke: "Brother Gu, before returning to the post station, can I go to the medical hall to get some medicine first?" ”

Although Zhao Che promised to let Chu Yingtian accompany him, but Chu Yingtian was injured like this, if he became a burden, he should be a little dissatisfied in his heart, Shen Bai of course hoped that Chu Yingtian's body could recover as soon as possible.

Gu Hengzhou stiffened his face and didn't speak, Shen Baiquan acquiesced, parked the carriage at the door of the medical hall, jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door.

The guy had already fallen asleep, Shen Bai knocked for a while before someone answered, the guy opened the door with an oil lamp, and looked at Shen Bai vigilantly: "What are you doing at night?" ”

Shen Bai directly took out a piece of silver and handed it to the guy: "I have a brother who is seriously injured, please ask the doctor in the hall to take a look, I am willing to double the consultation fee." ”

Shen Bai's tone was soft, and he was generous, and the guy hesitated and opened the door: "I'll go and invite Lang Zhong first, you can get your brother in." ”

Shen Bai immediately said: "There is labor! ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to get Chu Yingtian into the medical hall, but Gu Hengzhou had already carried Chu Yingtian out of the carriage with an expressionless face.

Unexpectedly, Gu Hengzhou was willing to help, Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, and then showed a big smile: "Brother Gu, thank you!" ”

Gu Hengzhou ignored her with a cold face, and carried Chu Yingtian straight into the medical hall.

Lang Zhong also fell asleep, and it took a quarter of an hour to pack up and follow the guys, Chu Yingtian was still wearing a prison uniform, covered in blood, Lang Zhong frowned when he saw it, and looked at Shen Bai with a solemn expression: "He is wearing a prison uniform, who are you, where did you bring him here?" ”

Shen Bai was about to explain, but Gu Hengzhou directly flashed his waist card: "I am Gu Hengzhou, the prince of Zhenguo, you can treat his injuries." ”

Lang Zhong and his buddies were shocked, they didn't expect that one day they would be able to talk to the prince of Zhenguo so face-to-face.

The guy is a clever man, and when he came back to his senses, he wanted to call others, Shen Bai said warmly: "This time, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has official business, and he doesn't want to disturb the people in the city, so the little brother will help boil some hot water." ”

The man was stunned and nodded again and again: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, the grass people will definitely keep their mouths shut and never publicize tonight's events!" ”

The guy went to the backyard to boil water, Lang Zhong cut the prison uniform on Chu Yingtian's body with scissors, the criss-crossing whip marks and the hideous and terrifying brand came into view, the prison guards used heavy punishment on him, and it was really not easy to survive until now.

Lang Zhong gasped and started to cut Chu Yingtian's pants, Shen Bai was about to help, but Gu Hengzhou lifted his collar to the side.

The second monk Shen Baizhang was puzzled: "Brother Gu, what are you doing with me?" ”

Gu Hengzhou completely blocked Shen Bai's sight, helped Lang Zhong tear Chu Yingtian's trouser leg, and ordered in a cold voice: "Stay honest, don't make trouble!" ”

Shen Bai was not convinced, and whispered to defend himself: "Why did I add to the chaos?" If it weren't for me, he would have died unjustly in the state jail. ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't have a verbal dispute with her, and waited for the guy to bring hot water to help clean Chu Yingtian's injuries.

Last night, Zhou Jue sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound, but the burns of the soldering iron were still very bad, Lang Zhong used wine to disinfect those wounds, Chu Yingtian woke up in pain, screamed miserably, the green tendons in his throat and forehead swelled as if they were about to burst, Shen Bai listened to a low breath of cold air, Gu Hengzhou didn't blink his eyes, and helped Lang Zhong hold down Chu Yingtian tightly.

Finally helped Chu Yingtian re-apply the medicine to bandage the injury, Lang Zhong sweated, and after writing the prescription, he gasped and said: "He has a fever, the situation is not very good, I will write a prescription, boil a pair of drinks for a while to see the situation, if the fever does not go away tomorrow, it will be troublesome." ”

Shen Baigang wanted to thank Lang Zhong, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Gu Hengzhou and pulled in front of Lang Zhong, and said coldly: "This person is also injured." ”

Shen Bai's ten fingers were wrapped in gauze, and there was a strip of cloth tied to his wrist, the injury was obvious, Lang Zhong habitually wanted to put a pulse on her hand, Shen Bai immediately struggled: "No, no, I just have a little injury, so I don't bother the old man, I can just take some medicine myself." ”

However, how could her strength be better than Gu Hengzhou's? Gu Hengzhou grabbed her and didn't move at all.

Shen Bai was so anxious that his head was hot, and he couldn't think of a better countermeasure for a while, so he could only whisper softly: "Brother Gu, you scratched me." ”

Gu Hengzhou was slightly stunned, the strength in his hand was slightly loose, Shen Bai took the opportunity to break free, and hurriedly ripped off the bandage on his wrist and handed the wound that was oozing blood again to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, look! ”

On the slender white wrist, there was a circle of bloody tooth marks, which was very dazzling.

Gu Hengzhou's gaze was nailed to the circle of tooth marks, and his tone was cold: "Who bit it?" ”

Shen Bonunu looked at Chu Yingtian: "It's not him yet, he was bent on dying last night, if it weren't for my quick eyes, he would be either a dead corpse or a dumb person now." ”

Shen Bai looked at Gu Hengzhou in a smug tone, like a child who won the first home in the school to be rewarded.

Gu Hengzhou's eyes were slightly raised: "Use your own hands to block other people's mouths, do you think you are very powerful?" ”

Putting this matter on Gu Hengzhou, he could think of ten thousand ways to prevent Chu Yingtian from committing suicide while ensuring his own safety.

Shen Bai only thought that he was disgusted with his poor skills again, and said modestly: "What Brother Gu said is that I will definitely force training in the future and not embarrass Brother Gu, okay?" ”

They didn't have anything to do with each other, and she couldn't lose his face.

Gu Hengzhou stopped talking again, pulled Shen Bai to sit aside, and patiently untied the gauze wrapped around her fingers.

The wound on the tip of Bai Ri's right finger split again, and after the blood dried, the gauze stuck to the wound, and it hurt when he removed it, Shen Bai didn't dare to shout, his slender eyebrows squeezed out folds, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Why don't you cry out about pain at this time?

Gu Hengzhou glanced at her, and Shen Bai immediately grinned: "Brother Gu, thank you." ”

This is the second time she has said thank you to Gu Hengzhou tonight, Gu Hengzhou finished removing all the gauze and pressed Shen Bai's hand into the water, the water was still hot, and the pain in the heart instantly spread from his fingertips to his heart, Shen Bai gasped and couldn't stop wailing: "It hurts, it hurts!" ”

This is really painful, Shen Bai's eyes turned red in an instant, and his eyes were also soaked in a layer of water, Gu Hengzhou looked at her coldly, and asked, "Thank me for what?" ”

Shen Bai gasped vigorously, and waited for the pain to subside before replying: "Brother Xie Gu opened the city gate so late and let me enter the city, Brother Xie Gu helped me bring Mr. Chu to treat my injuries, and Brother Xie Gu didn't remember the villain to help me take medicine!" ”

Shen Bai remembered everything Gu Hengzhou did clearly, and thanked her for the idea, but Gu Hengzhou didn't plan to let her go like this, stared at her eyes fixedly and asked, "What do you have for me to remember?" ”

Shen Bai: "......"

The first time Lang Zhong and his men saw the prince of Zhenguo, they had been standing beside him and were reluctant to leave, and when they heard Gu Hengzhou's words, they all looked at Shen Bai, their eyes full of curiosity.

This Xiao Langjun is a Gu brother, and he looks very close to His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he listen to His Royal Highness's tone, he seems to have done something sorry for His Royal Highness?

Shen Bai's face was hot, and Gu Hengzhou's rapid and hot breathing sounded in his ears, but the claws that had made a big mistake were still pressed into the basin by Gu Hengzhou and couldn't move, and his face became more and more feverish.

Shen Bai avoided Gu Hengzhou's eyes in a panic, and begged in a low voice: "Brother Gu, there are still people watching, can we go back and talk about anything?" ”

Gu Hengzhou was indifferent, pressing step by step: "Since you dare to do it, are you still afraid of being listened to by others?" ”

Shen Bai's old face was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into it immediately, but in addition to the embarrassment, there was also a faint annoyance, and she couldn't help but ask: "It's clear that Brother Gu called me over first, although I have been, it was Brother Gu who seduced me first!" ”

Lang Zhong: "......"

Dude: "......"

Seduce???

What kind of tiger and wolf words is this, this little Langjun looked at Si Swenwen, but he didn't expect it to be illiterate, how could His Royal Highness the Prince have anything to do with seduction?

Gu Hengzhou's eyes narrowed dangerously, seeing that Shen Bai's skin was in pain, Shen Bai stiffened his neck and muttered: "What I said is the truth, if you don't admit it, Brother Gu, I won't admit it." ”

Shen Bai played tricks directly, Gu Hengzhou couldn't help but have a cold and dark breath, Lang Zhong and his buddy unconsciously swallowed their saliva, for fear that Gu Hengzhou would suddenly expose Shen Bai to death with one palm, but after waiting for a long time, Gu Hengzhou did not move.

Gu Hengzhou picked up Shen Bai's hand from the water, turned his head and said to the guy, "Bring the best trauma medicine in the store." ”

The guy nodded again and again, took three bottles of medicine from the medicine cabinet and handed them to Gu Hengzhou, and then returned to Lang Zhong to stand behind him, and after a while, the two of them reacted in hindsight: His Royal Highness the Prince didn't seem to deny this Xiao Langjun's accusation just now, doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince of the World know the power of seducing?

Gu Hengzhou helped Shen Bai wrap his fingers and wrists with medicinal gauze, and after doing all this, the guy also boiled the medicine and fed Chu Yingtian to drink.

The next thing is to wait.

Lang Zhong is old, he can't keep working like this, he said hello to Gu Hengzhou, went back to the backyard to continue to rest, there was no empty room in the backyard for Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai to rest, Gu Hengzhou didn't care, put together a few tables in the lobby, and let the guy go to rest too, and the guy hugged a quilt for them.

Shen Bai didn't sleep much last night, and he didn't dislike the hard table at this time, he lay down with a yawn, patted the empty space next to him and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, rest quickly, this trip is a long way, you must be mentally recuperated." ”

Gu Hengzhou lay down beside Shen Bai, Shen Bai didn't see anything outside, grabbed the quilt and covered him, and yawned again.

The hot air sprayed on the artery in Gu Hengzhou's neck, Gu Hengzhou's body instantly tensed, turned over to look at her, Shen Bai's brain was sleepy, and his eyelids couldn't be opened, so he didn't see the desire under Gu Hengzhou's eyes like dark clouds, and only said vaguely: "Brother Gu, I haven't taken a bath for two days, if you dislike it, stay away from me, I won't smoke you." ”

After saying the last word, Shen Bai's eyelids closed, his breathing became steady and long, and he fell asleep like this.

It has only been two days since she left Beijing, she has new injuries on her body, and her spirit is also very bad, Gu Hengzhou can't imagine what kind of trouble she will break into along the way.

She said that the prince wanted to kill her, in order to survive, so she had to show her worth, but the crisis she would face along the way would not be less likely than the prince killing her.

Does she really want to live? No matter how Gu Hengzhou looked at it, he felt that she was more like walking a dead end.

knew that liking him was a dead end, but she stepped on this road without hesitation.

Do you really like him so much, that you are willing to break through even the sea of swords and fires for him?

Gu Hengzhou retracted his gaze and lay flat, but his chest rose and fell slightly because of the different beats of his heart.

He had never encountered such a hot, molten emotion, and reason told him that it was not in harmony with the world, but the more he came into contact with this person, the more uncontrollably he wanted to get closer, and even after the absurd thing in the lieutenant's camp, he frantically wanted to possess it!

I want this person to belong to me completely, and control this hot and fiery love, so that no matter whether you are in the barren battlefield or the cold winter, your heart will always beat warmly, and it will not be condensed into ice.

It's a pity that this man is a man.

Shen Bai was indeed very tired, and she was very relieved to have Gu Hengzhou by her side, she slept directly until the third pole of the sun, and when she opened her eyes, the people around her were full of voices, and her surroundings were empty.

Sitting up suddenly, the people who came to the hospital to see a doctor and the people who were watching the excitement at the door were startled, and thought they were scamming the corpse.

The table was hard, Shen Bai sat up and found that his whole body was in severe pain, and after looking around, Gu Hengzhou was not around, and the man walked over happily: "Xiao Langjun, you can be regarded as awake, the high fever on your brother's body has subsided, according to Lang Zhong's instructions, I grabbed a few more pairs of medicines, you can take them back with you." ”

Shen Bai rubbed his neck and frowned and asked, "What about Brother Gu?" ”

The guy blinked his eyes and looked curious: "What did Xiao Langjun say?" What's the matter, Brother Gu, you came here alone last night. ”

Shen Bai: "......"

Brother Tai, it's really condescending for you not to sing.

Chu Yingtian had already woken up, Shen Bai paid for the consultation and medicine, and drove the carriage to take Chu Yingtian to the post station, as soon as he entered the door, Zhou Jue shouted: "If you don't come back, the master will report to the official to let people go to the river to retrieve the corpse!" ”

Shen Bai immediately replied: "Phew, I want to accompany the young master for a long time, you will definitely die in front of the young master." ”

Zhou Jue rested all night, regained his full vitality, jumped down directly from the second floor with the railing, and saw that the gauze on Shen Bai's fingers had been replaced with a new one, and there was a very strong smell of medicine, and his eyebrows were slightly raised: "Even if you are a clever kid, and you know how to give yourself medicine, I thought you didn't plan to ask for these hands." ”

Shen Baigang wanted to roll his eyes, but Zhou Jue threw a black and shiny porcelain vase over: "I finally asked my father what he wanted, it was our Zhou family's unique secret trauma medicine, and it was hard to find a thousand gold, so be polite when you talk to the master in the future." ”

Shen Bai took the medicine bottle and looked at it, and said nonchalantly: "Wait until the master is really effective when he finishes using it." ”

Zhou Jue just wanted to speak, but Shen Bai collected his emotions and saluted respectfully: "Young master." ”

Zhou Jue immediately turned around and saluted: "Young Master." ”

After speaking, his head was lightly smashed by a small pebble, Shen Bai ran to the stairs and shouted proudly: "Lie to you, it's so easy to be deceived, I will tell Captain Zhou when I go back, and punish you for copying the military book ten times." ”

Zhou Jue gritted his teeth angrily: "The surname is Shen, you are dead!" ”

The soldiers and horses of the lieutenant battalion entered Chenzhou City in the evening of the same day, and directly surrounded the state mansion, and Zhou Deshan personally led people to the Chenzhou lieutenant camp to take away the lieutenant Chenzhou.

The people in the city were in an uproar, and on the second day, Zhou Deshan asked people to post a notice in the city, and the governor of Chenzhou and the lieutenant of Chenzhou were in collusion, and the people could go to the state government to sue the two of them, as long as the crime was verified and confirmed, the court would definitely avenge their grievances.

As soon as the notice came out, the gongs and drums in Chenzhou City were noisy, and the people who went to Chenzhou Daya to complain directly formed a long line, which shows how many crimes the two have committed over the years.

"Young master, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Shen Bai said and served a cup of hot tea diligently, they were in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse on the street, and through the window, they could see at a glance that there was an endless stream of people who went to Chenzhou to complain, and the teahouse was also discussing this matter, and everyone was guessing which capable person had actually gotten rid of the bully of the Jiang family overnight.

Zhao Che took the tea and took a sip, the slightly bitter tea aroma slid into his stomach with hot air, and the aftertaste became sweet.

Zhao Che was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Shen Bai, such a big person, could still make good tea.

Shen Bai smiled: "I see that the young master is very particular about tea, and I specially asked someone to find two good tea cakes in the city, and I will make them for the young master to drink in the future, so I don't have to go through a lot of trouble." ”

Shen Bai's tone was naturally and casual, as if she would really be by Zhao Che's side for many years.

Zhao Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he put down the teacup and reminded coldly: "Don't forget, if this trip proves that the person surnamed Chu is a waste, you should apologize with death, there is no future." ”

The smile on Shen Bai's face did not decrease, and he said open-mindedly and confidently: "Then I will do everything I can to please the young master, so that the young master is reluctant to kill me." ”

Gu Hengzhou stayed in the city for three full days with a hundred elites before starting again, and Shen Bai and the others waited for a long time before they followed behind slowly, because there was one more Chu Yingtian, and when they left, they added an extra carriage.

Shen Bai wanted to take care of Zhao Che, so he took a car with the young master, driven by Zhou Jue, Chu Yingtian and the three dead soldiers, with the influence of the incident in Chenzhou, Emperor Hengde sent someone to send customs clearance documents and golden orders, if necessary, Zhao Che can show the golden order, saying that he is the unjust envoy given by His Majesty, and specially went out to patrol various places to observe the people's feelings.

Shen Bai was naturally happy to see this happen, and Emperor Hengde could make this move, which must have a sense of crisis for Zhaoling's future, and this sense of crisis would force him to find a way to make changes.

This change will reverse the situation in the future of the entire Zhaoling!

One day after leaving Chenzhou, it began to rain continuously, the sky was gloomy and dark all day long, which made people feel uncomfortable, the speed of the carriage and horses escorting the return gift did not decrease, Shen Bai and they went much slower, when they arrived in Muzhou, Gu Hengzhou had already left the city, and Shen Bai was not in a hurry to chase Gu Hengzhou.

Brother Gu's temperament is really awkward, instead of rushing up to annoy him, it is better to have a good fight with him after a while.

Muzhou as the border of Zhaoling, and the twilight of the East Heng Kingdom is only separated by a Zhaonan Mountain, this mountain is a natural barrier between Zhaoling and the East Heng Kingdom, because the mountain is high and steep, only a narrow and slender plank road can be passed for hundreds of years, so the two countries can maintain hundreds of years of good neighborliness and friendship, and have not sent troops to attack each other.

Muzhou is barren and has few products, and the most produced is tea, Shen Bai took the opportunity to collect a lot of good tea to prepare, and took Zhao Che to play in various tea estates.

Zhou Jue was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, no matter how he looked at the Muzhou Prefecture, he felt like a bad person, as soon as Shen Bai instigated Zhao Che to go out, Zhou Jue was about to blow up, but in the end he would obediently drive the carriage to take them out.

Although he ran all the way, because of the use of good medicine, Chu Yingtian's injuries were healed, and every time Shen Bai went out, he would take him with him, and when he arrived at a tea house, he always asked: What can Mr. see.

Chu Yingtian didn't have a temper, and after being asked too much, he couldn't help but ask Shen Bai: "What does Brother Shen want me to see?" ”

Mines, of course!

Didn't you tell me in the last life that there was a big mine in Muzhou, and if we can find out this mine now, and if we start a war in the future, our soldiers will not suffer in weapons.

Shen Bai shouted in his heart, but his face was innocent: "No, I just think that Mr. is a craftsman, understands the gossip and I Ching, and the world in his eyes should be different from ours, so he is a little curious." ”

Chu Yingtian had already heard from Zhou Jue about Shen Bai's inquiry, and said truthfully: "Brother Shen, although my ancestor was engaged in refining, but as you heard, I was still young when my father passed away, I didn't have his true inheritance, and the art of ingenuity was also learned by me from another apprentice, my craft is really not surprising, does Brother Shen have any misunderstanding about me?" ”

Shen Bai twisted his eyebrows, and when Chu Yingtian said this, he was a little uncertain.

In the previous life, Chu Yingtian was recommended to the Ministry of Industry after Zhao Che succeeded to the throne, at that time he was blind and broke his leg, and he was always silent on weekdays, Shen Bai knew very little about him, and he didn't know what he had experienced before entering the Ministry of Industry.

What if she changed Chu Yingtian's original fate this time, but instead made him unable to become a refining master?

Shen Bai's head hurt a little when he thought about it, but things had changed, and it was no good to think about it so much, so he could only take one step at a time and look at it one step at a time.

After staying in Muzhou for five days, enjoying the different tea art and tea garden scenery in Muzhou, the group passed through Zhaonan Mountain from Nanheng Plank Road and entered the twilight of Dongheng country.

Zhaonan Mountain is called Hengrou Mountain in the territory of East Hengguo, East Hengguo is in the northwest direction of Zhaoling, through the plank road, the top of Hengrou Mountain has snow all the year round, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the foot of the mountain is a large green grassland, it has entered the autumn, the grass at the foot of the mountain is still very lush, a crystal clear stream meanders down, and the twilight of this border town gently embraces into the arms.

Fat cattle and sheep can be seen everywhere on the grassland, the light here is stronger than Muzhou, Muzhou is ready for the autumn harvest, there are just planted seedlings in the field here, two crops of rice can be planted here, it is a very important grain producing area of Donghengguo, a few people just went down from the plank road to the foot of the mountain, and there were soldiers of Donghengguo who came forward to check.

Shen Bai first gave the customs clearance paperwork, which said that they were tea merchants from Zhaoling, and they came to Dongheng this time to do business.

The soldiers carefully checked the situation of a few people before letting them go, and entered the city on foot, and the differences between the two countries were suddenly revealed.

Zhaoling is rainy and the air is humid, so the houses are mostly high-rise pavilions, and there will be flying sand and stones in the autumn and winter of Donghengguo, so most of the houses are relatively low.

Zhaoling is subtle and introverted, the defense of men and women is relatively strict, women who have not left the cabinet are generally not allowed to go out without authorization, and they can also be covered with tulle when they go out, and the exchanges between men and women are also very polite.

As soon as Shen Bai and the others stepped into the twilight city, they saw many young women combing their long braids, wearing ringing dresses, revealing slender white arms, soft and weak waists and well-proportioned calves, walking enthusiastically and lively.

Shen Bai didn't have the opportunity to leave Zhaoling to look around in his last life, and the folk customs and customs of various countries were all learned from books by her collecting various travel chronicles, but the description of the text was different from what she saw with her own eyes.

For the first time, she deeply realized that women can walk on the street as unscrupulously as men, without covering their faces, let alone covering themselves carefully.

The group was stunned at the gate of the city, and soon attracted the attention of other people in the city, Zhao Che was the most handsome and outstanding among everyone, the girl in the city was very bold, and after watching it for a while, someone threw something at Zhao Che.

Zhou Jue subconsciously wanted to swing his sword to slash, but Shen Bai grabbed it first, and what fell into his hand was a bright red and full hawthorn.

The girl who threw the hawthorn was a little annoyed, and stomped her feet coquettishly: "That's what I gave to that Langjun, how could Xiao Langjun intercept it halfway?" ”

Shen Bai looked at the girl and asked curiously, "Sister wants to give this thing to my young master?" ”

Although Shen Bai looked still young, his facial features were delicate, and when he showed a curious face, he was so innocent that people unconsciously felt pity, and the girl replied with a smile: "Of course, it's because your young master is good-looking, I like him." ”

The men and women here will directly and enthusiastically express their love for the opposite sex and pursue them boldly, but this girl is very bold to confess to the person she met for the first time on the street, and the people around her covered their lips and smiled, the girl's cheeks flushed shyly, and her bright eyes looked at Zhao Che expectantly.

Zhou Jue was frightened and stammered, "This...... How can people here do that? ”

Shen Bai glanced at him: "Why can't this be?" Since you're here, you have to follow the locals, you know? ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he reminded Zhao Che: "Young Master, this girl is still waiting for you to answer." ”

Zhao Che lifted his eyes, his gaze was cold, and Zhou Jue lowered his voice: "You kid is crazy!" The young master can marry someone casually and be a ...... Young lady? ”

Shen Bai didn't feel bold at all, and said seriously: "I think this sister is really beautiful, and I thought the young master would like it, so I asked, why not?" ”

Zhao Che only married one queen in his last life, and the two side concubines were all decisions made after weighing the benefits and disadvantages in order to consolidate his imperial throne, Shen Bai had the impression that he only had a grand plan in his heart, and he always felt that his life was too indifferent and boring.

Zhou Jue glared at Shen Bai, and Zhao Che asked rhetorically: "If there is also a girl who confesses to Gu Hengzhou like this, do you think there is nothing wrong?" ”

There are more girls who like Gu Hengzhou, if she has to worry about blocking them all, wouldn't she be tired to death?

Shen Bai said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, there will definitely be many girls who like him, I will only feel sorry for those girls, my enthusiasm is destined to not be reciprocated, and I don't feel that there is anything wrong." ”

Shen Bai's eyes were clear, not a little annoyed, Zhao Che was a little surprised, Shen Bai turned around and smiled apologetically at the girl, and said loudly: "The girl is as beautiful as a flower, she is really cute, everyone will like it when she sees it, but my young master already has a sweetheart, and he can't accept the girl's love, if the girl doesn't dislike it, wait for me for two years, and when I grow up, I will come back and ask to marry the girl, how about it?" ”

Shen Bai coaxed the girl in the flower building to get used to it, and when she opened her mouth, she was a promise, the girl was a little lost, and after a while, she asked Shen Bai with a smile: "Xiao Langjun is an interesting person, I don't know who your surname is, and where do you live?" ”

Shen Bai followed the Zhaoling etiquette system, folded his hands above his head, and made a gesture at the girl: "In Xia Shen Bai, the word knows the book, he lives in Muzhou behind this mountain, I am the only son in the family, if my sister marries me, I will love my sister for a lifetime." ”

Shen Bai's tone was sincere, the flush on the girl's face deepened, and she asked, "I look at you like a servant, what do you do at home?" ”

Shen Bai replied kindly: "My ancestors are all in charge of the young master, and the young master's family has a large tea mountain, and this is the reason for our trip, my sister wants to taste our tea?" ”

Shen Bai replied seriously, and seized the opportunity to sell his own tea, if Zhou Jue didn't recognize her, he would have thought that she really had a young master with a tea mountain at home.

The girl was a little moved, and was about to come over to get some tea to taste, when a dull bell rang, everyone's faces changed, and panic flashed in their eyes!
