"You already know about Prime Minister Qing's illness, right?" When Kuroko heard the name of Wuyin, he immediately put his sword into the sheath.

"yes, I know."

"I don't know what the specific situation of Tianshu is now, but after knowing that the lord is not the son of the world, the prime minister let Mrs. Wuyin be the master of Tianshu. Although the Zhao family had a new son last year, Prime Minister Qing had been ill and did not officially hand over Tianshu to the new son. Therefore, until now, Lady Wuyin is still the true lord of Tianshu. ”

"That's the case...... "Bolu has no right and no position, naturally he can't control Tianshu, although Wuxian is the prince of the world, he has not yet been officially authorized by Zhao Ying, this kind of green and yellow is not connected, it is not surprising that Wuyin refuses to transfer power. It's just that with her experience and understanding of Wuxian, how can she show her ambitions so unscrupulously? Why did Ming Yi and Beru choose to let me return to Tianshu at this time? What else is hidden here?

Conspiracy, calculation, although I have not yet reached the Heavenly Hub, I have already smelled the smell of danger.

Roasted meat, artemisia, sunflower, wild duck, in the stone house, Ming Yi prepared a table full of delicacies. Beru warmly beckoned me to sit down next to him, and Kuroko took a damp cloth and sat down next to Mingyi after wiping her face with a damp cloth.

"Eat and look at this, Mingyi has just baked it." Bruw put a slice of roasted meat in my bowl and rolled up his sleeve and scooped a small bowl of steaming broth for me.

I picked up the chopstick, smiled and stuffed the roasted meat into my mouth. The half-fat, half-lean roasted meat was grilled by Mingyi to a very fragrant aroma, but I couldn't concentrate on enjoying Berlu's enthusiasm and the food in front of me at the moment. More than 400 days have passed since I left the country of Lu, and in these more than 400 days, I have been brewing wine, hunting, practicing medicine, not to mention planning political affairs, and I have not even made complicated calculations. Now, as I see that I am about to jump into a huge whirlpool, my mind is a little unable to turn, and I can't bear it.

At the dinner table, Ming Yi explained the current situation of Tianshu to me in detail. I listened silently, and the more I chewed on the contents of my mouth, the more tasteless it became. Tianshu has changed too much in the past few years. The main thing of the Kan hexagram was lost because of a strange roll of reeds, Yu An left Tianshu and went to Xinjiang, the assassins of the Xun hexagram were not chaotic and scattered, and the doctor was old, and Mrs. Wuyin was looking for a newcomer to take over his position as the master of Kun, and the departed lord sitting in front of me at this moment obviously did not plan to return to Tianshu again. Tianshu gossip, aside from me, the leader of the light pole, half of them are in the midst of change and turmoil. The three kingdoms of Jin, Wei, and Qi were about to go to war, but Tianshu, who was in charge of military intelligence reports, was in this situation. Not to mention whether the powerful Lady Wuyin is willing to let me meddle in the affairs of Tianshu, even if she accepts me generously, how can I organize a shadow army to help Wuxian resist the Qi State and capture the Patriotic State in the next month?

It's simply an impossible task.

"It doesn't work, I can't do it." I looked at Boru and shook my head desperately, "If the battle between Jin Wei and Jin Wei is really as dangerous as you say, you should find a more suitable person to help Wuxian." I am Song Niang who makes wine, and I am Chu Wu who heals diseases, and I really can't fight this battle of Tianshu. ”

"You can, you're the only one who can help him now." Beru put down the chopstick and took my hand.

"No, I'm a coward. When I'm scared, I'll run away. I'm good at running away, you know that better than I do. ”

"Ah Shi, you will never be afraid of Tianshu, because it will not let the person you love leave you. Dealing with it may cost you your life, but it's never death that you're afraid of, is it? ”

Tianshu will not let the people I love abandon me, and my fear is never death...... I looked at Berru's pale, warm face, and his sour eyes were filled with hot and humid liquids again.

"Wuxian did not marry the princess of the Di clan again. I think he must have made a vow with his beloved. Ashi, you're only sixteen years old, and it's too early to back down. Some people, some things, while you are still young, while you still have strength, you always have to fight hard. Lost, it hurts, it's not a big deal. Anyway, you still have a long, long time to heal and forget. ”

"But he hates me like that......"

"Believe me, Hongyun'er is indeed not a person who is good at forgiving, but you will always be his exception."

Bruw smiled and patted my hands, warm droplets of water on his cheeks sliding down the bridge of his nose. But this time, I no longer hid, no longer resisted. I nodded heavily, letting them run wild on my face.

The night was deep, and it was drizzling lightly outside the house, and Mingyi helped the tired and weak Beru to bed, and I discussed the itinerary with Kuroko and got up to say goodbye. Kuroko took the coat and wanted to send me home. At this time, Ming Yi had already tucked the corners of the quilt for Beru, he turned around and took a bamboo hat on the wall and handed it to me: "Put it on, I'll send you back." ”

Did I hear it wrong? Leaving the Lord Mingyi to send me in the rain?

"I'd better send her back, it's raining outside, and the ground is full of mud." Kuroko took the bamboo hat for me and draped the robe over me.

"No, don't give it away to either of you. If you know that I live here, you know the location of my dock. Just pick me up tomorrow morning, I won't run. ”

"Kuroko, you burn the stove hotter, I'll be back after sending her off!" Mingyi didn't seem to hear me at all, and after saying that, he pushed the door with his right hand and walked out.

"Why is this leaving? It's dark outside, you have to bring a lamp" Seeing Mingyi go out, Heizi hurriedly turned around and carried a pottery lamp with a lid and handed it to me: "Since he wants to send you back, then I won't send it, and I'll look for you tomorrow when I get a car." ”

"Well, then I'll go first. Don't put the stove too close to the bed when you burn it later, because your master won't be able to smoke. I took the oil lamp from Kuroko's hand and hurriedly chased Ming Yi out the door.

It rained in the mid-autumn night, and it was inevitable that it would be a little cold in a southern place like Chu State. I carried a pottery lantern and ran down the path outside the stone house into the darkness. The dead grass and fallen leaves on the trail were filled with rain, and my feet were a little slippery when I stepped on them, so I barely ran a few steps, and my body could not be steady. I stopped and looked up, only the endless darkness and the vast rain curtain where the lights could not shine, and Mingyi, who was still walking in front of me just now, seemed to blend into this autumn rain and disappeared.

"Mingyi," I shouted, standing in place with a pottery lamp.

After a long time, two barely audible high-fives were heard in the darkness of the night.

"Don't go so fast, wait for me," I shouted as I ran in the direction from which the applause came. About half an hour later, I finally found the person who said he was going to send me home, "How can there be a host like you, you are too fast!" I gasped and grumbled.

"It's you who are too slow." Ming Yi turned his head to look behind him, in the rain, the warm light of the stone house had turned into an inconspicuous bean on the black curtain. "Let's go!" He exhaled softly, visibly slowing his pace.

It seems that he has something to say to me, and he doesn't want Beru and Kuroko to hear it, so he braves the rain to send me off. I changed the pottery lamp from my right hand to my left, and said with a smile: "It used to rain and you refused to even go out of the courtyard where you left the hexagram, and now it is windy and rainy outside, why are you so kind to send me home?" ”

"If you go back this time, Tianshu may die there. When the time comes, I may not be available to see you off. Tonight, I should send you soul in advance! Mingyi glanced at me sideways, and the cold and strange words gave me goosebumps.

"You're a sorcerer, don't curse me in this damp place in the middle of the night!" I shook my shoulders and tightened my robe.

"Curse you? I didn't want you to die, so I came out to send you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The reed pole I gave you before you went to Qi Kingdom, have you found a way to crack it?"

"I guess I've found it! The reed poles were carved with letters, and they were not visible when they were scattered, but if you found a suitable way to weave them together, you could see the contents of the secret letters. ”

"Did you make it up? What is written on the secret letter? Mingyi stopped.

"I can tell you the contents of the secret letter, but you have to tell me first, did Wuxian come to Yunmengze last night?"

"What a stubborn girl! You didn't listen to what I just said to you in the house! The Jin State has sent troops to defend the country a few days ago, and the army of the Qi State has also left the Qi border and is coming to the west. Zhi Yao seized the power of the Zhao family last year when Qing Xiang was seriously ill, and even the supply of food and grass for the army was made difficult by Zhi Yao in every way. He has a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him at the moment, even if he knows that you live in Yunmengze, where will he have time to come here to see you. ”

"Did he really not come? He seemed to have mentioned the shortage of baggage to me in his dream last night. ”

"You know very well what kind of person Zhiyao is, you are too worried about him, so you have this dream!"

"Maybe......" I shook my head vigorously, trying to put aside the unrealistic delusions in my head. Ming Yi continued to ask me about the secret letter, and I had no intention of concealing it, so I repeated to him the names and numbers engraved on the reeds.

"It sounds like an account, but the numbers are a little weird." Ming Yi frowned deeply after hearing this.

"The place names on this are all the places where the Jin Kingdom has suffered natural disasters in the past two years. The last time I went to Jinyang for disaster relief with Wuxian, I encountered someone who gave food to the victims and collected men. I'm afraid the numbers on this secret letter will have something to do with it. ”

"The mystery of the secret letter will wait for you to find a way to crack it after you arrive at Tianshu, I want to remind you that the reed pole was smuggled out of Tianshu at the beginning, and you can't mention the secret letter to anyone after you go back, especially Wuyin."

"Do you suspect that Lady Wuyin has something to do with this?"
