Dao Yan drove away. Shen Ruoyu knelt down in front of the grave and looked at the two grave bags blankly.

Which is the mother?

At this moment, does it make sense to divide this?

He took out the short knife given by Luo Yang from his boot and held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment.

Brother Luo Yang, where are you now? Have you already hidden in the mountains and forests, followed the example of Gong Xie, and traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers?

I also want to have such a day, but Xiang'er is gone.

It's all just a snap of a finger; King Yan has not yet entered Beijing. lingering with her warmth, why is it so short!

He slashed the tip of his knife hard in the palm of his hand, flipped it over, and sprinkled the blood on the two graves, and then kowtowed three heads.

Mother, aunt; If you replace wine with blood, I apologize to you.

He looked up and put a hand gently on his shoulder. So gentle, so familiar. He was taken aback and turned his head.

“…… Xiang'er?! ……”

Nightshade stood in front of him and smiled at him. She was pale, but her limbs were sound, except for a large scalded scar on her face, which ran from her forehead to her chin, and her wound was ulcerated and ointment. Yao Jizhu and Yao Biao stood behind her.

Shen Ruoliao stood up, took her into his arms suddenly, hugged her tightly, and was unwilling to let go in this life and this life.

Nightshade smiled: "I told you: I'm a weed." Weeds are easy to live and can't die. ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at her in disbelief, almost shouting out with joy.

"How did you escape? How did you escape? ”

Nightshade said: "There is a cellar under the pharmacy; At the same time as the house collapsed, the ground also collapsed, and I fell into the cellar, so I quickly climbed to the other side, away from the fire, and the inner corner of the wall had not yet collapsed. I lay on my stomach in the corner until Master Yao dug me out. One of the beams broke off and hit me, but I was fine. However, this scar is on the face, and I am afraid that it will not fall off. ”

Yao Biao said: "Xiang'er is very clever, the corner of the wall where she hides is the strongest corner of the cellar, there is no clutter, only stone walls, the terrain is low-lying, and there are no fireworks." ”

Shen Ruoyu wanted to kiss her, but she couldn't bear to touch her wounds, so she could only hug her tightly, tears couldn't help but fall, and murmured:

"It's fine if you're okay; If only you were safe. The wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows—"

Nightshade smiled. "Yes, I am a weed, the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows."

Yao Jizhu stood aside without saying a word. When Shen Ruoyu saw him, she let go of her embrace, took Nightshade's hand, and walked in front of him.

"Young Master Zhu, thank you for taking care of Xiang'er; Thank you for making it happen. ”

Yao Jizhu smiled in disappointment, patted him on the shoulder, and handed over a burden. "These are for you and Xiang'er. Take good care of her. Take good care of yourself. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince have already given me a coil." ”

Yao Jizhu said: "Then these are for Xiang'er." You don't know her yet? She burned off all her savings. ”

Ye Lai Xiang took the burden and looked at Yao Jizhu sincerely.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhu."

Yao Jizhu looked at Nightshade gloomily. "Thank you, Xiang'er."

Shen Ruoyu walked up to Yao and knelt down. Yao Biao was taken aback, and reached out to pull him.

"Less? What are you doing-"

"Master, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Yao family; I owe you so much. ”

Yao Biao pulled him up and said with a wry smile: "Silly boy, there are no dead people in my family, and we didn't expect that pharmacy to support our family." We're not on the streets. What are you talking about? ”

Shen Ruoyu laughed at himself: "If I want to continue to stay in Beiping, it will be difficult to say." I'd better get out of here. ”

Yao Biao said: "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "I'm all the same." Look at Xiang'er. ”

Yao Biao nodded. "Be careful all the way and take care." He turned around, took the horse behind him, and handed the reins to Shen Ruoliao. "Thousands of mountains and rivers, go far and fly high, you can't do it without a horse. Don't, don't. ”

After Shen Ruoliao and Ye Laixiang bowed goodbye in front of the grave, they got on the horse and turned around on the road. Yao Biao didn't want Yao Jizhu to watch all the time, so he pulled his grandson on the horse and walked in the direction of Beiping City.

"Where do you want to go?" Shen Ruoyu asked.

Yelai Xiang said: "The world's famous mountains and rivers, places of interest and historic sites, I want to go all over." Wuyue, Huangshan, Lushan, Emei; Yellow River, Yangtze River, Three Gorges, Taihu Lake, Poyang, Dongting; There are also all the ancient cities, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Jinan, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Wuchang, Nanchang, Chengdu. Of course, there is also the capital, which is indispensable. There are other places, I can't say it for a while. ”

"My mother," Shen Ruoyu said with a smile, "When you're done with this lap, I'm afraid we'll all be middle-aged." ”

"By the way, I still want to see the sea." Nightshade incense road.

Shen Ruoyu only felt that his heart moved, as if he had fallen into a deep lake.

"I want to see the sea too," he muttered.

"How do we get there?"

Shen Ruoliao said: "Let's go to Jinan first, and then go to Mount Tai." Then, there are several options to see the sea. You can see the sea in Shandong. Alternatively, head south to the Yellow River and head east along the Yellow River to see the mouth of the Yellow River – but now that area, including Yangzhou, is a battlefield. Or let's continue south, to Gangnam first. Taihu, Suzhou-Hangzhou, Songjiang, Shaoxing, Jinhua, Jiading. We can see the sea there, and the tide of Haining. Then, head inland along the river, where most of the places on your list are along the river. ”

"The third option is best," Nightshade said.

Shen Ruoyu nodded: "Then we will go straight to Jinan, and then go straight to Mount Tai." ”

"And Dongchang," Ye Laixiang said, "You Dongchang Marquis, how can you not take me to see Dongchang and point out the battlefield of your meritorious service?" ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at her and frowned. "I might as well take you directly to Jingshi, and let you see the second guard of Yulin who made my fortune, wouldn't it be more enjoyable."

Nightshade said: "I have no opinion. Don't think I'm afraid to go to the capital now. ”

"How's your injury? Does it hurt? ”

"It's fine. You can't kiss me for a while, you can only endure it. ”

Shen Ruoliao smiled. "What I'm best at is enduring."

"I'll be an ugly woman with a broken face in the future, and it's too late for you to escape now."

"When I got to bed, the black light was blinding, and the beauty and ugliness were the same. - Ahhh ”

Nightshade raised her hand and twisted him.

"What about you? Do you have a place you'd like to go? She asked, "Before I came, you thought I was burned to death, what were you going to do?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said in a low voice: "I want to respond to heaven and save the whole family of the Son of Heaven from the capital." ”

Nightshade was taken aback: "Why?" Since you want King Yan to ascend to the throne, why did you save Jianwen Tianzi from escaping? You led the army for the Son of Heaven, achieved the glory of Dongchang, and almost sacrificed your life for him in the Xianghe River. The rest of the development is out of your control. You've done your best to him, and you can feel guilt-free. ”

Shen Ruoyu said softly: "I don't just want to repay the favor of the Son of Heaven and fulfill my duty as the governor of the army. Xiang'er, have you thought about it, the prince is in the heavens, but when he breaks through the capital, he kills the Son of Heaven, what will be the consequences? It is true that Fengtianjing is his pretense, he entered the capital, if he does not kill the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for him to sit on the throne. But this pretense can't be destroyed, let alone let him destroy it with his own hands, otherwise the original master of the Qing monarch's side has become a naked king-killing usurper overnight, even if he sits on the throne, how can he sit safely? How much chaos will the world have because of this? ”

Nightshade was silent for a moment.

"So, if you want to save Jianwen Tianzi, in the end it will be for King Yan. But if you have few, have you ever thought about it, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country; As long as the Son of Jianwen is alive, it is impossible for him to be dead set on the throne, and there will always be forces in the world that plan for restoration, how can the prince tolerate it? He will hunt you to the ends of the earth. Or more likely, from the very beginning, you simply won't be able to escape the capital. ”

"I know, I've thought about it," Shen Ruoyu said softly, "I actually thought about this matter from the time I made up my mind to oppose King Yan, and it wasn't just a thought now. I have been planning for this for a long time, and I have secretly started to make some preparations when the day comes. Before leaving Beijing, I didn't plan to return to the capital alive, and I had already entrusted all my plans to Dong Pingshan. Last night, I realized that when King Yan entered Beijing, there were too many variables in the Jingshi, far from being completely predicted by anyone. Entrusting all the plans to Dong Pingshan, all the hopes are on him alone, it is inevitable that the risk is too great. And since I survived, and there is no more concern around me, it is better to go back to the capital and carry out the plan with him; When two people act, the certainty of success will be much greater. The prince can't kill the Son of Heaven, but he has to kill him; The only way is to let the Son of Heaven escape before he enters the palace. The palace is empty, the Son of Heaven is missing, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and it is logical that King Yan ascends the throne. Jianwen Tianzi is weak, and the courtiers have followers who swear to die, and most of them are civil servants who have not been on the battlefield; As long as King Yan ascends the throne and can quickly and effectively disassemble the imperial army, even if the powerful ministers such as Wei Guogong and Tie Shangshu will leave with the Son of Heaven, it will be difficult to gather enough soldiers and horses to restore King Qin; After dragging it for a few years, as long as the world is peaceful, the throne of King Yan will become more and more stable, the foundation of the new dynasty will be deeper and deeper, and the son of Jianwen will be more and more forgotten in the hearts of the people of the world, and the possibility of his restoration will become smaller and smaller. ”

Nightshade lowered her head and muttered, "You actually ...... This step has already been thought of...... It seems that you have to go back to the capital. ”

Shen Ruoyu sighed slightly.

"Xiang'er, but—I can't make up my mind to go back to the capital again. I had that thought because I thought you were burned to death. Now I want to take you away and fly high, the farther away from the capital as possible, and from then on I will only be free with you between the mountains and rivers; All the big plans of the country, Li Min Sheji, have nothing to do with me. If everything is providential, why should I bother with what is inevitable? ”

Nightshade smiled faintly: "Can you convince yourself like this?" If it is true that everything has its own providence, all the efforts of people are in vain - if you had not opposed King Yan at the beginning, what do you think King Yan would be like today? In the past three years, have your resistance and blows against him made him calm and indomitable, or have you contributed to his recklessness and rigidity, or have you actually achieved nothing and are meaningless? You let go of it, and leave everything that will happen in the capital to him, to the will of heaven, knowing that there are dragons and regrets in the will of heaven - are you at ease? ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at her worriedly, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Xiang'er, if it weren't for you, I would have returned to the capital immediately. But now, I have you by my side; Once I go to the capital, the future is uncertain from now on, life and death are unpredictable, and it is impossible for me to take you on an adventure with me. I've lost you twice, and I don't want a third time. ”

Nightshade pondered quietly for a long time, and said with a faint smile:

"It's okay if you think so; You finally escaped death, and I don't want you to go back to the tiger's mouth to die. Let's follow what you just said, first go to Jinan and Mount Tai to see. King Yan is far from entering Beijing so fast, and he can always let us play for two days, and there is also time for you to continue to think and decide. Maybe after playing for two days, you will soon get tired of the landscape, and you will also get tired of me, and you will change your mind. I don't worry about it, everything takes its course. ”

Shen Ruoyu said sadly: "Xiang'er, even if I really change my mind, I must break my liver and sausage, and I will never get tired of you." ”

"I don't know if you've told a few women," Nightshade sarcastically said, "The decision is yours, and the consequences are yours alone, and it has nothing to do with me." I just hope that no matter what decision you make, you don't lie to me, let alone coax me. As long as you can afford it, I can bear anything. ”

"Xiang'er, I promise you that I will never coax you; I never expected to fool you. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, and said softly.

"Where are we going to spend the night tonight?" She asked.

Shen Ruoyu looked up at the sky. The morning sun feels like it's still in time.

"I guess I'll have to sleep in the wilderness," he smiled, "Are you afraid?" ”

Ye Laixiang said: "If you stay in someone else's house, it will be inconvenient to make love to you, it is better to be in the wilderness." ”

"I said you were going to make love to me;" His cheeks were slightly red, and he teased: "Where is it in the wilderness, let's find an inn." ”

"When can I get to Jinan?"

"At this rate, next year. If you are not afraid of turbulence, I will run and get to Jinan the morning after tomorrow. ”

"Run; Are you still afraid that I'll be squeamish? If you don't run on horseback, you might as well walk on foot. ”

Shen Ruoyu's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the horse under his crotch.

"If the second-rate son is still there, he can travel thousands of miles a day, and he can go wherever he wants."

Night Lai Xiang said: "I still want to ask; Where did your second-rate son go? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "I died on the battlefield." It's a real martyr, but I've been stealing my life. ”

Nightshade looked up and gave him a comforting kiss.

"You have the mind to survive; It is a horse after all, and it does not have that much intelligence. ”
