In the marriage between Zhou Tianzi and the princes surnamed Jiang, Shen Guo has always played an important role. Therefore, Shenhou has been cultivating his daughters as political tools since he was a child, looking forward to marrying them into the royal family one day.

Ji Jiang has grown up in such an atmosphere since he was a child, and naturally acquiesced to such a fate. When her sister married King Zhou You, she was still an ignorant child, but she already felt envy and yearning. However, the war disrupted everything. Watching her sister, who was once the queen, flee back to her parents' house in embarrassment, crying to her father and brother about the tragic experience, her royal dream was disillusioned like a colorful bubble.

What's even more terrifying is that instead of feeling sorry for my sister, my father and brother scolded her for being useless and unable to gain the favor of the Son of Heaven. Ji Jiang suddenly woke up and knew that the daughter of the Shen family was just a bargaining chip for the men to tie up with the royal family, and from then on, she seemed to have grown up and matured overnight, and she no longer longed for the palace in Hojing, but felt that it was all a nest of jackals.

When her father proposed to marry her to Uncle Zheng, Ji Jiang was silent on the surface, but she was still secretly happy in her heart. Although she knew that she was still just a pawn, she thought that it was better to marry an ordinary prince than to get involved in the dangerous political struggle of the royal family. Therefore, Ji Jiang actively cooperated with his father's arrangement and carefully dressed himself for the favor of Bo's future husband.

At the banquet, this originally beautiful and moving girl was not surprised to amaze all the guests, including Zheng Bo. What was really unexpected was that Zheng Bo also "amazed" her. Ji Jiang, who had no choice, had long dared not expect to marry the man he liked, but he found that his future husband was such a handsome and majestic young man, how could he not be excited.

At that moment, Ji Jiang silently made a lifelong wish in his heart.

Unfortunately, what happened later took a turn for the worse and deeply hit her good intentions. Uncle Zheng's repeated refusal made the girl in the boudoir embarrassed. She hid in the room and wept secretly, not only afraid that her father and brother would say that she was useless like scolding her sister, but also afraid that she would not be able to escape the control of fate.

The dug tu who escaped from the palace was stung by Ji Jiang's tears, and after calming down, his heart was filled with deep guilt. Although he still likes Zhong Xi, how can he bear to hurt him when he thinks that Chu Chu's touching beauty is so innocent?

However, the situation did not allow him to think too much. After arriving at the station, he immediately pulled the hundred chiefs into the car and wanted to go back to Hokyo without stopping.

Lord Nejae has endured the matter of digging and refusing to marry, and now he finds out that he is pretending to be sick and escaping, which feels even more ridiculous. The old man grabbed the reins and persuaded bitterly: "Don't come nonsense, your lordship, Shenhou is really intentional, and Weihou is also sincerely helpful, why are you still unwilling to marry Ji Jiang?" ”

"I repeat, I am in charge of my marriage. As for the reason, I will tell you when the time comes. With that, he forced the driver to set off and threw Nejae into the billowing yellow dust behind the car.

"Say, what's the situation with Zhong Ji?"

The chief of the hundred rooms hurriedly put away the sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, and arched his hand: "Since the order, the minister has first searched Zhengcheng, Xicheng and a large area between the two, but found nothing. I think they may have followed in the footsteps of the king to the east, so they searched along the banks of the Wei River. The spies went down the river, followed the Weishui River into the river, and searched until they reached the new city of Yugonghan, but there was still no trace of it......"

"Say what matters most."

"Yes, yes." Xianzhu put away his mouth full of spittle Xingzi and continued, "Just when the minister was at a loss, I happened to hear that when the capital city was broken, a group of homeless people ran into Nanshan to take refuge. So he sent someone to try his luck and ask if anyone had seen the young man and woman in and out of the pair......"

"Double-in, right?" It doesn't sound very comfortable.

"Yes, most of the people who flee are the old and the young, and it is very unusual for two young men and women to be together. So the spies found it as soon as they inquired! ”

Digging Burst's eyes lit up: "And then?" ”

The original spy inquired all the way and found a thatched hut in a canyon. At that time, only the male owner was at home, and he flatly denied the inquiries of the living, claiming that only one person lived here. Fortunately, the spy caught a glimpse of the woman's clothes drying in the courtyard and the samurai sword leaning next to the pyre, so he pressed again. When the man saw the stuffing, he reluctantly admitted that it was Nie Rang! ”

"You should report my name, saying that Zheng Bo is not so troublesome to find him!"

"If you bring out the king when you meet someone, then you can't hide the matter of looking for someone for a long time."

It's right to think about it, and praise Xian Zhu for being careful.

After confirming that person was Nie Rang, he was naturally relieved to explain that it was Zheng Bo looking for someone. The spies asked him to rest, and when someone came to pick him up, he quickly returned to me. As soon as the minister got the news, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to pick it up in the starry night, but he pounced. ”

"Got a shot?"

"That's right! The minister also wondered, maybe Nie Rang was alert and worried that we were fake, right? ”

"Impossible? Worried about who will harm him? ”

"I don't know. Fortunately, the characteristics of these two people were too obvious, and we soon traced clues from the mouths of the mountain people, and knew that they had hidden on a mountain. Due to the rugged mountain road and limited manpower, the ministers did not dare to search the mountain rashly, for fear that they would take advantage of the loopholes and run away, so they had to firmly surround the exits of the mountain, and at the same time quickly return to report to you and ask for more troops. ”

Without saying a word, he immediately poked his head out of the carriage and told the military attache to immediately go to Hojing to transfer troops. Then he turned back to Xianzhu and said, "You did a good job. However, you still have to work hard, you can't rest, accompany me to bypass Hojing and go straight to Nanshan! ”

"The king has won awards, this is the duty of the minister." Xianzhu once again felt the high status of Zhong Ji in the heart of the digging tu.

At that time, the Nanshan in the population was actually the famous Zhongnan Mountain, which was very close to Hojing or Xi'an, and there were many hermits in the Han and Tang dynasties. Zheng Bo and his entourage did not stop, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in one day and one night. After that, the whole team abandoned the car, rode and walked, and began to advance into the depths.

The mountains are lush and green, and there are clear streams and waterfalls from time to time, which is not as hot as the mountain at all. Therefore, although the team traveled slowly on the mountain road, it was not very hard. The only thing that the whole team was anxious about was digging out, and he was the only one who had no intention of playing in the mountains and rivers, and was determined to rush to see his sweetheart as soon as possible.

In this way, I don't know how many ridges and ditches I have crossed. Dutu's mood also became more and more worried. He felt a little "more timid about his hometown", he really didn't know what to say when he saw Zhong Ji after being away for so long. At this moment, the little brother who led the way stopped. Following the direction of his finger, a small hill came into view.

Xian Zhu ordered all the manpower, and spent a long time with his assistant, but there was still no good plan for searching the mountain. This mountain forest is like a scene from Miyazaki's movie, full of ancient trees towering to the sky, and once you enter it, it is like a labyrinth, let alone looking for people. Although the number of troops has increased several times, the scene is still a drop in the bucket.

I was in a hurry and decided to go on it myself. He felt that his voice was the best introduction, and Nie Rang and Zhong Xi should both recognize it. If you hear the call of your best friend, there is no reason to suspect that someone is cheating. He tore off a huge plantain-like leaf beside him, rolled it into a trumpet, and roared into the mountains.

"Zhong Ji~~~Nie Rang~~~ I'm digging out~~~ Come out~~~"

A loud echo pounced back, each wave striking into the heart of the dug. He trampled on the knee-deep grass, struggled around the hill, and shouted as he walked one step at a time. When Xian Zhu saw it, he couldn't help but be moved by the infatuation of digging out, and hurriedly led people to open the way in front.

Maybe it's God's sincerity to test, until the sun sets, Chang Geng Star rises, and there is still no feedback on the mountain. Xian Zhu persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's look for it again tomorrow, it's too dangerous when it's dark." If you have a mistake, you can't afford it! ”

Digging Tutu refused to give up, insisting on turning the whole mountain. As soon as he thought that Zhong Ji was going to spend the night in this dark and terrifying forest, he felt distressed. However, in a hurry, his feet loosened, and the big man leaned over and planted himself in the rocky stream beside him. He heard a muffled pop on his forehead and lost consciousness.

When I woke up, the east was already white, and Chang Gung Star was replaced by a morning star. The digging felt his mouth tingle and his entire skull buzzing, probably the after-effects of yesterday's desperate shouting. However, the sharp pain from the bandage in the forehead made him wake up instantly, and he remembered his unfinished mission, and struggled to get up. The hundred elders who had been guarding all night were shocked, and hurriedly held it down, almost begging: "The king knocked his head last night, and the blood did not stop, so you don't insist anymore, and the minister will send someone to shout." ”

"No way!" "They only recognize my voice before they can rest assured to go out of the mountain." After that, he tried all his strength, and struggled to shout "Zhong~~~~" to the mountain, and then fell on the marching bed.

The digging had a splitting headache, and a high-pitched metallic chirp came from his ears. In a trance, the tinnitus seemed to be mixed with a looming female voice. He tried hard to identify, and vaguely heard the words "Ying~~~Jun~~~Brother~~~Brother~~~", and instantly sat up in shock.

Watching everyone look at the hill together, he was convinced that it wasn't an auditory hallucination.
