44. Chapter 44

When Ruoyun cleaned up and got out of the carriage, the hair was no longer there, but instead was a bun coiled on the top of her head, leaving only a few shoulder-length scattered behind her head.

Bai Ze saw her slightly stunned, then pursed her lips and smiled to make way for a place, she happily sat down beside him, sitting with her knees in her eyes flat, the green mountains and white forests kept retreating, and she was actually comfortable with this scenery.

"Girl, you are willing, you don't have to break your hair when you dress up as a little girl." Bai Ze looked at her again as if he was looking at a monster, and teased.

Ruoyun sighed slightly: "I said that I don't want to marry the emperor, my hair is broken, I'm afraid the emperor won't dare to ask for it." As she spoke, Xue Baize shrugged his shoulders very innocently.

Instead of being beautiful and attractive, it is better to be so comfortable, the emperor wants to save face, and he will never let the future concubine look like this. She regretted it, why didn't she think of this method in the first place, she had been bothered for so many days for no reason.

"Then you're finished, not only does the emperor dare not ask for you like this, but no one dares to marry." Bai Ze shook his head and sighed, feeling sorry for her.

Ruoyun glanced at him: "You just pick on the bad and say, if someone treats each other with true feelings, how can they mind this?" ”

"Treat each other with true affection...... Bai Ze smacked his lips and raised his whip noncommittally.

The carriage ran faster, and there were towering pavilions standing alone on the mountainside, looking at it from a distance, the clouds and mist were shrouded, like a fairyland.

Ruoyun handed over the dry food, but Bai Ze took it and sent it to his mouth, not at all picky.

"What's that?" Ruoyun nibbled on the dry food, untied the water bag, and asked casually.

Bai Ze's movements were obvious, and his smiling face sank suddenly, and he said in a muffled voice: "Picking Star Pavilion, this is the most laborious thing in the Tianyi Dynasty." ”

"This is the Star Picking Pavilion that spreads all over the world?" Ruoyun suddenly realized, and his heart became heavy.

Although she is in the capital, everyone knows about the construction of the Star Pavilion.

When the emperor was alive, he liked to pray to the gods and worship the immortals, especially those priests who mixed medicine for him, although he did not say it clearly, but the ministers knew that the emperor had the heart to seek immortality.

I don't know who entered the words, saying that it was the unstable veins of Tianyi and the harmful dragon luck, the first emperor ordered the Guangjian Star Pavilion to please the gods, and since then this Star Pavilion has been distributed in the vast territory of Tianyi in the east and west, north and south. It is said that when the pavilion is built, the forest is cut down, the mine pit is opened, the pavilion that is built has eight layers, each layer is decorated with golden bells under the twelve eaves, the vermilion lacquer shirt door, the carved beams and paint the building, take the meaning of connecting the sky on the top and the ground on the ground.

Sure enough, the twenty-eight Star Picking Pavilion was completed, and the original flood gradually calmed down, and the first emperor Long Yan Dayue, it happened that the first queen gave birth to the prince, and Yao Shufei gave birth to a princess, and the matter of the Star Picking Pavilion was put on hold. Since the king with a different surname came to the capital, the first emperor began to be busy with government affairs again, and the Star Picking Pavilion was under the jurisdiction of the high priest, and sacrifices and repairs were often carried out, but the first emperor cared very little.

After the first battle with the west, the floods, ground movements, and drought that had gradually subsided made a comeback, and the emperor saw the Yao family and the Xiao family fighting openly and secretly in the middle of the court, becoming increasingly emaciated, and finally died. This star-picking pavilion built for longevity has undoubtedly become the biggest laughing stock of Tianyi.

After Rong Jinhuan ascended the throne, he did not order the demolition of the Star Picking Pavilion, allowing them to stand tall and form a large cross shape across the east, west, north and south, and the one who took over the Star Picking Pavilion was still the new high priest.

When I was a child, my father inevitably wanted to talk to her about picking up the Star Pavilion, and said that the king with a different surname came for this Star Picking Pavilion and persuaded the emperor to demolish it, but the emperor refused on the grounds of national fortune.

Ruoyun was half-full, and Bai Ze was rarely silent until now, she felt that Bai Ze was so taboo because his ancestral industry had been exploited a lot by this big building Star Pavilion.

"Bai Ze, what kind of person is King Yu?" She couldn't bear to be silent all the way, so she talked to him to relieve her boredom and changed the topic.

When Bai Ze heard this, Fang Cai's heavy face improved slightly, and he squinted and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?" ”

"Everyone in the world said that the king was the devil, and he alone calmed the war and killed countless people. His son now took over the throne of the king, and searched extensively for gold and silver vessels, but you said that the king had already reached the frontier before he heard that the west was far from the invasion. Putting aside those loyal and patriotic words, I guess this King Yu is a courageous man. Ruoyun commented, but her heart was very empty.

The courtiers were afraid of King Yu, whether it was the old King Yu or the new King Yu, which showed that King Yu was a ruthless character, and if King Yu came face to face with her one day, she would probably be so frightened that she couldn't say a word.

"Actually, I don't know who he is, but whether it's what the world says, what you say or what I say, this is a human being, just a living person, with joys, sorrows, and flaws, and merit. Bai Ze showed the usual hippie smile again, and said it extremely easily.

"As long as you dare to go to war, you are a hero." Ruoyun interface.

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Ze narrowed his eyes, his smile became thicker but his eyes gradually closed.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, whether they are for the country and the people or for themselves, as long as it is a war, it is the suffering of the people, and those who go to the battlefield cannot guarantee that they will not lose their lives, and King Yu has the courage to go to the battlefield, even if the war is stopped, the war is calmed down, and good things have been done for the people." Ruoyun was sleepy, and took out the butterfly hairpin that was inserted in her hair by Xiao Hongxin's hand from her sleeve and looked at it.

Bai Ze was dumbfounded by what she said, and only said after a while: "Maybe he is a selfish person, and it has nothing to do with him how many people die, but you are also reasonable, stop the war with war, heh......"

He suddenly laughed, and looked at him inexplicably.

To enter Yunzhou, you must pass through Yizhou, and Yunzhou to Yizhou is blocked by mountains, and only the official road extends all the way along the narrow valley mouth.

When Ruoyun asked Bai Ze why he didn't take the official road, he only smiled and said that the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge.

Along the way, the birds came from time to time, and the time and place were staggeringly accurate.

There is news that the West Departure Kingdom really attacked, and the carriage finally arrived outside the city of Yizhou before dark, but the city gate was closed after three laps.

Bai Ze simply abandoned the car and only let her bring dry food into the city lightly.

Bai Ze asked Ruoyun to simply put the maid's clothes on the outside of the small maid's clothes, and she had no other jewelry except the hairpin on her head

The thick aroma of fat powder wafted by the tall "woman" on the side, and Ruoyun couldn't help but glance at "her".

She never dreamed that Bai Ze would hide some clothes under the carriage seat, but unfortunately they were all women's clothes made of silk and satin, and Bai Ze unceremoniously changed into brocade clothes, saying that what was dressed in a dignified manner would not arouse the suspicion of others.

But the person in front of him is red lips and white teeth, skin like coagulation, hairpin ring jewelry is readily available, and he is looking forward to Shenfei and charming when he takes two steps, except for being tall, no one would have thought that he would be a man.

But Ruoyun was so "inconspicuous" that she had to be his "maid".

"Hey, girl, don't call me by my name when you enter the city, you want to call 'Miss', you know?" Bai Ze looked at the city gate not far in front of him and whispered.

"But......" Ruoyun was suspicious, and whispered, "Now that the states are under martial law, and the city gates have been closed early, how can you enter the city?" ”

"Someone will send us in later." Bai Ze pretended to smile and turned around and winked at her.

As soon as the words fell, a few people came out of the grass, and they knew that they were officers and soldiers as soon as they looked dressed.

"Sure enough, I hid! Come on, take it for me! The middle-aged man led by him was elegantly dressed, but his physique was thin, obviously not a martial arts practitioner, and he stood quietly with his hands behind his back, as if he was used to seeing a big scene.

Previously, some officers and soldiers had turned the carriage that had been circling the city for three weeks upside down, but they had not found anything, and now they were waiting for suspicious people to take the bait.

Ruoyun was shocked, Bai Ze's abandonment of the car was secretly mysterious.

Bai Ze ignored everyone's gaze, just looked directly at one of the people wearing a high hat with a sad and complaining gaze, and said in a soft voice: "Lord Thorn Shi, the little woman is An Mei'er, the daughter of Master An...... You...... Don't you recognize me? After speaking, tears appeared in the two translucent eyes, as if they were about to drip in the next moment.

The noisy officers and soldiers were as quiet as death for a moment.

That person was the Yizhou Thorn Shi, and when he heard this, he wiped his sweat in embarrassment, and said, "Master An's daughter...... This ......" then said sharply as if remembering something, "Don't pretend for Lord Ben!" How could Master An's daughter appear in this wilderness?! This official is ordered by the imperial court to arrest the suspicious person in Naxi, and you all come with me! ”

The emperor sent 800 li to issue an urgent decree, asking all states to impose martial law and investigate suspicious people, and if he let people go, he would obviously lose his head. But he seemed to have seen the stunning beauty in front of him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Bai Ze looked at him although his mouth was stern, but beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and couldn't help but smile sadly: "Lord Zhang, don't you really recognize the slave family......" He bowed his head silently, and said in an extremely regretful voice, "The little girl came out to play with the maid, but I didn't expect the city gate to be closed and I couldn't go back...... Master Zhang ......" said, raising his hand with tears in his eyes.

Ruoyun clearly saw that in her hand was the thread group after the kite was broken, and looked at Bai Ze again, feeling that his acting strength had surpassed the most popular troupe in the capital.

Master Zhang didn't know what to do, he wiped his sweat again, and his previous composure had long gone: "I'll let them escort you to Anfu ......" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the officials stepped forward to take them away.

Bai Ze thanked him softly, picked up Ruoyun, who had been stunned for a long time, and followed the officers and soldiers into the city half-covered and half-hidden.

Although the city of Yizhou is under strict martial law, it is still early in the depths of the hinterland of Tianyi, and the flames of war have spread, and people come and go on the streets, except for the officers and soldiers patrolling and searching, there is not much abnormality.

"What if it's debunked...... Ruoyun stepped forward and whispered to him.

Bai Ze just smiled charmingly, pulled her across the street, and generously asked the officers and soldiers to knock on the door of Anfu.
