The wind in early spring was still very cold, Wu Qimai subconsciously tightened his collar, he was silent all the way, the emperor did not speak, and his subordinates naturally did not dare to speak.

"Confession." He suddenly spoke, his expression revealing a hint of weirdness, "Are you wondering why I want to let Xu Zizhen go?" ”

Indeed, although there are many masters on Xu Zizhen's side, the so-called masters are actually vulnerable in the face of a huge army, otherwise so many martial arts students in the Great Song Dynasty would have annihilated the Jin Kingdom many times, and today it is obvious that Wu begged to buy and release water.

He obviously didn't expect Wu Qimai to ask him this question, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he still thought about it carefully and replied seriously: "What Your Majesty thinks the minister doesn't dare to guess in vain, but the minister thinks it must be reasonable." ”

"Oh, reason." Wu Qimai chuckled, his eyes turned to the east, the sky was already blue, and seeing that the sun was about to come out, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Let me ask you, if Zhao Gou'er gathers the strength of the whole country to fight with me, what will it look like?" ”

He said proudly: "Now that my Dajin country is strong, the Song people have been decaying for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible for them to win back their original land. ”

Wu Qimai said lightly: "But my Dajin will also consume the national strength." ”

The emperor was silent, what the emperor said was not unreasonable, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, even if the Great Song Dynasty was beaten to the ground by them, and even the emperor was arrested, but they couldn't afford to play with their lives.

"Although Xu Zizhen is known as a demon, he is only a mortal after all, so what is there to fear?" The corners of Wu Qimai's mouth raised slightly, and a trace of weirdness appeared on his face again, "It's just that I want to use this mortal to consume some more Song people's national strength." ”

He frowned and thought about it, and after a moment raised his head and said, "Your Majesty wants to ......"

Wu Qimai chuckled lightly and said leisurely: "Do you think that Xu Zizhen's firearms and his prophetic power are the only ones I want to get?" ”

The frowning brows of the book opened, and a smile appeared on his lips, and he bowed deeply on the back of the horse: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Wu Qimai sneered: "Xu Zizhen, do you really think that the old forest by the Lalin River is so easy to walk?" Even if you have a great life, it should be three months before you return to Yingtianfu...... Transcript. ”

He hurriedly responded: "The minister is here!" ”

"When the news was released to the south, it was said that the traitor Xu Zizhen had been killed on the bank of the Lalin River."

"Command!"

Wu Qimai looked at the southern sky, and an inexplicable chill flashed in his eyes.

……

The endless expanse of the land stretched into the distance, the sky was gradually darkening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was making its last moments, and the warm colors of the land dyed the land a purple-red.

"The morning glow doesn't go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, and tomorrow it seems that the weather will be good again, not bad."

Xu Zizhen sat on the wheel, biting a straw stick in his mouth, and talked to himself casually.

A laugh came from the carriage behind him: "You are so looking forward to the sunny weather, are you afraid of the rain a few days ago?" ”

"Hey, I haven't frowned on such a sad day in the old forest, what's a little rain? I'm not worried about the road slippery and flashing your *? ”

Yes, on the fourth day after escaping from the Lalin River, they went ashore and got into the woods, and then began a terrifying journey, Xu Zizhen said easily, but those days simply made him shed a layer of skin, that is, a few big girls were around, he was not embarrassed to complain, in fact, he had already scolded his mother hundreds of times.

It's not that he hasn't been to the Northeast, but he really hasn't drilled the old forests of the Northeast in this season, from the beginning of stepping into this ghost place, he knew that he was wrong, what spring came to the recovery of all things, what ice and snow melted and spring flowers bloomed, here you can't see it at all, the feet in front of you are all white, and the snow is still deep enough to play peek-a-boo.

Wan Yanhong's medicine is very good, Gillian's injury is gradually recovering, but although the wound is healing, she can't sit up anymore, Xu Zizhen has carried her on her since she came ashore, the road in the forest is very difficult to walk, and you have to beware of the traps in the snow if you are deep and shallow, and it will be bad if you step on the air or trip, so Xu Zizhen's physical strength is consumed in geometric multiples during this time, but fortunately, he has exercised a lot and has a good physique, so he has not collapsed.

Wu Qimai's scheduled return date for him is three months, but now a full hundred days have passed since that day, if the road goes well, it is estimated that it will take more than a month to return to Yingtianfu, and now they have just crossed Linhuang Road, that is, Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, and then spent a lot of money to buy a comfortable carriage, so they said goodbye to the days of walking.

Xu Zizhen was not impatient or complaining, because Gillian not only healed her wounds, but her mood also seemed to relax a lot, and she no longer had the dull and sad eyes like when she was in Huining Mansion, at least sometimes she joked with him, such as just now.

His thoughts were wild, and a gentle and light voice sounded in his ears: "No matter how good the weather is, you should find a place to stay, isn't it possible that you don't sleep all night to guard the car?" ”

"Uh......" Xu Zizhen scratched his head, "Don't worry, there is a village not far ahead, I have already seen it." ”

Gillian snorted angrily: "Fifth sister, look at how angry this person is, he will choke back whatever we say, but as soon as Sister Zhao opened his mouth, he was as well-behaved as a rabbit." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the carriage, it was Wan Yanhong, and the fifth sister also called her, but she laughed and said nothing, because she knew in her heart that she was now just a traitor who had left her hometown, and whether it was the daughter of the former national teacher or the talented woman of the country, they no longer existed, even if she helped Xu Zizhen escape this time, in his heart she was far from being able to compare with Gillian Zhao Last.

Xu Zizhen was not annoyed, he didn't reply after laughing, he raised the whip in his hand and shouted "drive".

When a bright moon rose into the sky, they rushed to the village, this village is very poor, but fortunately it is in the middle of nowhere, and it seems that it has not experienced much war, so the village is quite comfortable, the people here are simple, Xu Zizhen did not spend much time to borrow a night in a family's house, the three girls lived in the house, and he made do with the grass hut outside the house.

Winter has passed for a while, there is nothing in the grass hut, Xu Zizhen leaned against the earthen wall and looked at the starry sky in a daze, maybe it was because he was in a hurry these days, and his spirit was a little excited, and he couldn't sleep for a while.

There was a creak of the wooden door, Wan Yanhong walked out of the house with a basin, turned around and saw Xu Zizhen, nodded implicitly after being slightly stunned, and then went to the firewood room.

Xu Zizhen's lazy voice suddenly came from behind him: "Red girl, let's talk?" ”
