This is a clean and elegant farmhouse courtyard, two feet of evergreen brick prismatic wall, black lacquer gate, into the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a hundred-year-old peach tree, the branches can stretch out to the eaves, just in time for the peach blossoms to bloom in a good season, open the door is the pink flowers that come from the face, tender and fragrant, through the wind ~ flow.

The courtyard is the location of the three rooms of the main house with their backs to the north and facing south, and under the main entrance is a white stone path, which is buried in the ground with irregular white old stones, although it is not very compact, but it reveals a staggered taste; This white stone path leads to the bottom of the peach tree, and at the top is a small stone table, and four small stone benches are placed haphazardly around it.

There is good tea on the table, there is a beautiful woman at the table, one hand is on the table to support the pink face, and the other hand is playing with the jade cup, it may be that the tea is hot enough, and the drink is slightly sweaty, smoked by the peach blossoms, and even the smell of sweat is fragrant.

Small courtyard, low wall, peach blossoms, beauties, but unfortunately the flowers are not apricot blossoms, and there is a lack of a light rain, otherwise it is an authentic scene of apricot blossoms and spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, who would have thought that this is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the overlord of the world Wei State?

The beautiful woman was holding the jade cup, and she didn't know whether it was a person smoking flowers or flowers smoking people, and suddenly sneezed lightly, and said to herself with a smile: "I know that you are also a punctual person, and it is worth this girl to give you a cup of fragrant tea." ”

"Zhao Ji, is it the Bai family's tea? It's a pity, how is it not wine? Bai Dong's kid has a kind of wine, which can be smeared on the wound to ensure that the wound will not rot and pus, and drinking it is like a knife in the stomach, and how strong a man is also poured in three bowls. General Ben tasted it himself last time he went to Qin State, so you didn't bring back a few catties? It's a dead general! ”

The door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a general in armor walked in laughing. There are also four strong men in black beside him; It's a pity that he is a martial artist. Not a genius. Some of the scenery in this courtyard is ruined, and what is even more annoying is that he is not very good-looking, with a national face, vertical sword eyebrows, and a garlic nose, he is not a Confucian general at first glance.

"The gate is guarded for General Ben, and anyone who dares to approach this courtyard will be killed."

The general gave an order, and the four men in black under him immediately squatted on the wall and squatted on the wall. All of them are like rangers, but they don't look like a means in the army.

Zhao Ji glanced at the general, and couldn't help but smile on his lips: "I haven't seen him for a few years, the general still likes to shout and shout and kill, don't worry, my yard is far away from the beam, and this time I came in secret, no one will know." ”

"Well, General Ben didn't look at the wrong person. It turns out that you have become a student of Fengming Academy, and you haven't forgotten about me, a rough person. ”

"The general of Wei is a rough man? Don't say that, Zhao Ji is afraid that she will laugh off her big teeth. That's so ugly, don't you say, General Pang Juan? ”

Zhao Ji smiled first. Seeing Pang Juan's slightly inquiring gaze, he sighed slightly, lowered his voice and said: "More than ten years ago, there was a little girl in Handan, and her father had no son, so she became the pearl of her father's palm as soon as she was born. How happy would she have been then? The family is aristocrat, there are hundreds of slaves around her, once she slipped and fell on a rainy day and broke her foot, and got a lot of sludge, guess what? The father did not let her wash it with water, saying that the wound would easily fester, so he called ten slaves to take turns to lick her feet, and licked them cleanly, and sure enough, the wound healed the next day, leaving no scars. ”

She wanted to live like this forever, and when she wanted to eat, someone would bring dozens of fragrant dishes and fruits, and when she wanted to wear them, the slaves would bring stacks of beautiful clothes and let her try them until she was satisfied. But on her fifteenth birthday, a large number of soldiers suddenly came to her family, took away her father and mother, and sealed her home. It turns out that no one likes to lick people's feet, although her feet are beautiful and the skin on them is very slippery, if she does not wash them for three days, she will become stinky, and the slaves will not like it; She also knew that her father and mother were beheaded, just because Zhao Guo wanted to crack down on the old aristocratic group, and let those slaves go to be free farmers Zhao Hou said that she didn't do anything wrong, and the new aristocratic group of Zhao State also said that she didn't do anything wrong, but could it be that she did something wrong? She was originally a little girl who liked to eat fruits and wear new clothes, but she never thought about hurting anyone, but now she thinks about killing Zhao Hou every day to avenge her parents, whose fault is this? ”

Pang Juan didn't interrupt her, picked up the teacup and poured the tea to drink, and carefully observed the woman; Guozi's face and garlic nose are the best cover given to him by God, if someone thinks that such a person must be honest and upright, then he must be blind and deserve to die ten thousand times.

"In order to take revenge, she devoted herself to Lan Fanglu, learning songs and lyrics, Xiao Di and Qin music, and soon became a female Lu generosity that no one in Handan City did not know, how many sons and grandsons and noble princes and doctors even if they spent hundreds of gold, they all wanted to see her, but unfortunately Zhao Hou was busy building his Tantai, saying that he wanted to be a 'word must be believed, deeds must be fruitful' Ming Jun, since it is a Ming Jun, how can he covet beauty? Let her down. That night, she drank a lot of wine, raised the copper dagger she had prepared for five years and cut her wrists, since she couldn't avenge her parents, what did she stay in this world for? Lan Fanglu's chief said that a distinguished guest was coming tonight, and if she still refused to accept this distinguished guest, she would be kicked out. Ridiculous, you say? The people of Handan say that she is the first daughter of Zhao State, and it is rare to see anyone who she is, but they don't know that this is all Lan Fanglu's means, it is nothing more than to arouse the appetite of these people, and then sell her as expensive as possible, in fact, she is the most pitiful woman, worse than those slaves back then"

Zhao Ji was talking to herself, and Pang Juan was still drinking tea, but there was a little less inquiry in her eyes, but a little more comfort; He nodded, raised the teacup and shone it at Zhao Ji, motioning for her to continue, he was very willing to listen.

The copper dagger was sharp, but it still couldn't cut her wrist, because a big man with a Chinese face and a garlic nose suddenly jumped in from the window, and knocked off her copper dagger at once, and held her tightly in his arms. She was furious. What are you? Why don't you let me die? So he stretched out his hand and struck him. He didn't parry, the harder she hit, the happier he laughed, and what did he say, 'I Pang Juan is not allowed to die, who can say that he will die'? I've never seen such an arrogant and rude person! But he is actually a very gentle man, and he hugs her so that he is not loose or tight; His breath was heavy, but it didn't touch any of her skin. What kind of person is she? Although he is still a complete body, he has been in the women's hall after all. Naturally, I knew that he was very uncomfortable at that time, unless he was not a man."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji looked at Pang Juan with a smile, there was not much male and female affection ~ desire in her eyes, but there was deep gratitude.

"That night I went to admire your name, and when I saw that you locked the door and covered it with a wooden bed, I had to jump out of the window. I didn't expect that Zhao Dafang in the room was not a romantic and talented person, but he was a beauty who was ready to die, I love to fight, and I won't frown how many people die on the battlefield. But I can't be biased and women look for short-sightedness in front of me, don't you say it's strange? ”

"Everyone has compassion. I don't think it's weird. It's just that I didn't expect such a rough man to know how to defend men and women. This man saved me, also woke me up, and ran to scold Lan Fanglu's principal, and later I learned that he was the general of Wei State, Pang Juan, at that time, Zhao State was afraid of Wei State, and General Pang Juan loved me so much, who would dare to come nonsense in the future? ”

Zhao Ji sighed and glanced at Pang Juan with complicated eyes: "Not long after he left, there was a legend that the general of Wei was politely rejected by me, and then stayed drunk at the Zhao State Inn. Those people are really stupid, they don't want to think about it, just because I, a weak woman with no roots and no bottom, dare to refuse a big man like the general? So this legend must have been spread by the general himself, even the general of Wei treated me like this, who else in Zhao dared to bully me? I had already died once at that time, so I wouldn't think about dying anymore, and I knew that Zhao Hou was not the real murderer of my parents, if I had an enemy, it was actually this unjust world. Although Zhao Hou killed my parents, he made Zhao more rich and powerful, I don't know how many civilian slaves are thinking of his kindness, such a good monarch can't be killed, and he can't kill the original elimination of hatred will make people so happy, from that day on, I seem to have changed back to that happy, happy girl. General, do you think I should thank him? Should he be missed? If it weren't for him, where would there be today's Fengming student and Yue Guo's generosity? ”

"No thanks. Don't miss it, I'm not dead yet."

Pang Juan put down the teacup: "I heard that you went to Fengming Academy?" I was very happy for you at the time, but why did you leave the academy so soon? And instead of going back to Zhao State, but coming to Wei State, and choosing such a secret place to meet me? Say, is it a business or a private matter? ”

When it comes to private matters, Pang Juan actually has some expectations. He had never been soft-hearted in his life, but when he was in Zhao that year, when he heard Zhao Ji's story, he relented and wanted to see her; When he saw that she was about to commit suicide, he relented and wanted to save her; Hearing that she was Bai Dong's student, I was soft-hearted and happy for her, what the hell is this, I really can't understand it.

"Dean Bai sent me to the Qi State to meet an important person, and this person asked me to go to the Zhao State to do an important thing. I came to Wei on my own initiative this time to meet the general, because this matter is related to the Wei state, and it is also closely related to the general, if I don't tell you, I will definitely blame myself. ”

"Something related to the State of Wei?"

Pang Juan was slightly stunned, and his eyes instantly brightened: "Bai Dong is going to be unfavorable to the Wei State?" ”

"It is precisely to be detrimental to the Wei State!"

Zhao Ji hesitated slightly, and finally decided to say it. (To be continued......)
