It was late November, and after a cold snap, a layer of snow fell on the flat land.

Standing at the head of the city of Pinglu and looking into the distance, I saw that the heaven and earth were covered in silver, which was extremely enchanting.

After the snowstorm, the sun peeks out from behind the thick clouds and shines on the earth, and the snow slowly melts, revealing the mountains in the distance and the trees in the distance.

Early in the morning, Yu Miaoge was carrying a bamboo basket and was about to go out, when he saw Yu Ziqi, whose injury had improved, appear in front of the door, and said with a cold face: "Miaoge, where are you going?" ”

Yu Miaoge was not afraid, and came from the truth: "I calculated that General Fang's herbs were almost exhausted, so I wanted to go outside the city to collect some herbs, refine them, and send them to Hanoi." Of course, I also have a copy of my brother's herbs to collect! ”

"Who are you, and why do you care so much about him?" Yu Ziqi asked with a straight face.

Yu Miaoge thought for a moment and replied: "General Fang is my savior, if he hadn't appeared in time, maybe I would have become the thief's wife." ”

Yu Ziqi closed the door, put on a pleasant face, patted the girl's shoulder, and said softly: "Miao Ge, you are still young and don't understand the sinister truth of people's hearts. Have you ever wondered why Fang Li suddenly appeared when the bandits robbed the road? Is it possible that he played a heroic trick to save beauty? ”

Yu Miaoge smiled dumbly: "Save me as a hero? Is this necessary? Anyway, General Fang was injured because he saved me, and I can't have no conscience, so I must go and collect medicine. ”

Yu Ziqi was furious, and smashed his fist on the table, causing severe pain in the wound, and grinned with emotion: "It's really a big woman, you are not allowed to go anywhere today!" ”

Yu Ziqi left a sentence, turned around and walked out of the room, and locked Yu Miaoge in the house from the outside. Afraid of angering his brother, Yu Miaoge could only give up his plan to go out to collect medicine.

The bored woman sat in front of the window with her cheeks in her hands, looking at the water droplets falling after the snow melted on the eaves outside the window, and muttered to herself in her heart: "Fang Bofu, you don't really use the trick of heroes to save beauty, do you?" If this is the case, then what is the reason, we didn't know each other before, you are a dignified general of a country, as for such painstaking efforts? ”

Thoughts were flying, Yu Miaoge always had a smile on his face, and he couldn't stop smiling when he remembered the journey with Fang Li in the carriage, and learned to recite Fang Li's tongue twister that Fang Li taught himself: "Eight hundred...... Model...... Ben to the north slope, artillery side by side...... Run on the north side. Artillerymen are afraid of artillery ......"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, revealing the girl's unique shyness: "What a pacesetter, artilleryman, General Fang is so funny, I'm really happy with him, even if you lie to me...... I'm willing to let you lie too! ”

It soon darkened, and night enveloped Pinglu City.

Before leaving, Zhao Yun ordered a team to lead fifty people to defend the post house, nominally to protect Yu Ziqi and others, but in essence, he was afraid that Yu Ziqi and his party would slip away.

Fifty men were divided into two shifts, twenty during the day and thirty at night, and they were on duty in turns, without interruption.

Just after changing shifts, Xiang Zhuang came to the door of the post house to find a team to lead the story: "Brother, today is the birthday of our brother in the Yuzi period, and we have prepared a lot of wine and food. ”

After the sun sets, the north wind howls like a knife into the neck, and it is naturally good to drink a glass of turbid wine to warm up the lower body.

In addition, Yu Ziqi had been living in Pinglu City for a month and a half, and most of the soldiers who were guarding were familiar with each other, and their vigilance psychology had all dropped to the lowest point, and they couldn't withstand Xiang Zhuang's strong invitation, so the team leader agreed.

"Okay...... Since it's General Yu's birthday, I'll bother to drink a glass of turbid wine! ”

At that time, the team left four soldiers to guard the door, led the other brothers into the post house, and drank with more than ten people such as Yu Ziqi and Xiang Zhuang, and they were happy.

The delicacies during the banquet were cooked by Xiang Zhuang himself, and the specialties of Chu were presented one by one, which can be called full of color, flavor and flavor; provoked the team leader and all the soldiers to move their index fingers, and frequently raised their glasses to change the lamp, but they all staggered and fell asleep.

Only then did Yu Ziqi get up and smile happily: "This anesthetic is really useful, quickly change their armor and go out of the city!" [There is no evidence that there was anesthetic in the Spring and Autumn Period, but there is no record to prove that there was none, an overhead novel, the plot is needed, and the official history is based on the party, please ignore]

"I'm going to summon Miao Ge to prepare to go out, and Brother Xiang Zhuang will go outside the door to trick those Tang pawns in!"

Yu Ziqi commanded, took four or five Chu people straight to Yu Miaoge's room, pushed the door and entered, startling Yu Miaoge, "Quickly pack your bags and get ready to go!" ”

Yu Miaoge looked confused: "Go, where to go?" ”

"Of course, it's back to Chu State!"

Yu Miaoge was stunned: "Why do you want to go back to Chu now?" It's so cold...... Even if you want to leave, you should say goodbye to General Fang, right? ”

Yu Ziqi waved his hand and motioned to the entourage behind him to help Yu Miaoge pack up his things: "Farewell? Will Fang Li let us go if he knows? Except that you can move freely, which of the other brothers has no one to watch behind when they go out? Hugh is going to be verbose, hurry up and pack your things! ”

Yu Miaoge was angry and anxious, stomped his feet and said: "I won't go, and if I want to go, I can't say goodbye, this is a villain's behavior!" ”

"I can't help you, tie me up!"

Yu Ziqi waved his hand, and several Chu people who had been prepared rushed up, tied Yu Miaoge's hands and feet, and stuffed a soft cloth in his mouth, "Offended, Miss Miaoge!" ”

At the same time that Yu Ziqi and others kidnapped Yu Miaoge, Xiang Zhuang also knocked in the four Tang soldiers guarding the door, and all of them were stunned, and prepared horses and a carriage.

"The city gate has not been closed yet, I will get out of the city as soon as possible!"

At the moment, Xiang Zhuang wore the armor led by the team to open the way in front, Yu Ziqi and Yu Miaoge shared a carriage, and more than ten Chu people pretended to be Tang pawns and went straight to the east gate of Pinglu.

The fighting of the previous days caused many people of Pinglu to flee one after another, but now that they have been pacified, they have returned one after another, so the gates of Pinglu are not closed until midnight every day.

Xiang Zhuang swaggered in front of the way, and the soldiers guarding the door saw that they were all their own people, and they were no longer suspicious, so they let Xiang Zhuang and Yu Ziqi go out of the city gate and gradually disappeared into the vast night.

The group walked more than ten miles to the east, and they were all relieved to see that there was no Tang army chasing them.

Xiang Zhuang immediately asked, "Brother Ziqi, should we go south next or how to go?" ”

Yu Ziqi immediately made a decision and pointed to the east: "The south is the territory of the Tang State, and it will take at least two days to leave the country. General Leyang of Wei and our General Xiang Yan have a good personal relationship, and we should be able to let us go if we show our identities! ”

Xiang Zhuang shook his whip: "Okay, then let's go to Wei State!" ”

The carriage was sparkling, the horses' hooves were clattering, and the group continued to gallop eastward.

Yu Ziqi took out the soft cloth stuffed in Yu Miaoge's mouth and untied the rope, looked at the tearful girl, and said with a little guilt: "Miaoge, you are still young and don't understand the sinister hearts of people. We grew up in Chu since we were children, and General Xiang's family treated me well, and we are Chu people now, understand? ”

With tears in her eyes, Yu Miaoge argued, "Even if you have to leave, why can't you let me say goodbye to General Fang?" ”

Yu Ziqi snorted coldly: "Fang Li is simply greedy for your beauty, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger if you go to say goodbye, he will let you leave?" ”

"General Fang is not the despicable villain you said!" Yu Miaoge didn't want to look at his brother's face, and silently thought about Fang Li's good in his heart.

Yu Ziqi said irritably: "What's so good about Fang Li? How old is he? Can he compare with Xiang Yu? Let me tell you, you can only marry one man in this life, and he is Xiang Yu! ”

Yu Miaoge also refused categorically with a cold face: "Then I won't marry anyone, if my brother wants to exchange me for glory and wealth, give my body to Xiang Yuan!" ”

"You!"

Yu Ziqi's face turned blue with anger and he stopped talking. I wondered in my heart that I had gotten rid of Fang Li anyway, maybe the girl would forget him after a long time, why bother with her for a while?

Yu Miaoge leaned on the carriage, stretched out her hand to pick up the curtain, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Say it silently in your heart; "Fang Bofu, this farewell, I don't know when I can see you again? You promised me that you would make a real song for me, and I hope you don't forget my Yu Miaoge! The end of the world is close at hand, and it is difficult to stop me from Guanshan; The concubine's heart already belongs to you, may you not forget me! ”
