If life is a roulette wheel, Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't know when her fate began to spin, and when in her life, there were people who could take care of each other, like gears, closely connected, achieving each other, and jointly composing this tragic or legendary life.

God gave her an extraordinarily sweet start in life, but he cruelly took it away, and when she was desperate, he gave her a steady stream of friends and gave her hope again and again.

She doesn't know if fate will play pranks on her again, and take everything she cares about again, but this time, no matter what the result is, she will fight hard, and she will not sit still, for herself and for the people she cares about!

She hates war and bloodshed, but if she is asked to choose between Zhao Ling and the world, she will definitely choose Zhao Ling, she has never been a saint. She clearly understands that what she does in the capital will hurt some people, and she is also using some people for her own purposes, but she doesn't regret it, she just wants to be with the people she loves.

Chen Guo is colder than Da Zhou, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, this is the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter, and it didn't take a while to cover the bare branches in the yard, and the white expanse is also very clean.

"What are you thinking?" Li Chengqian sat beside Jiang Xiaoyu and asked.

"I used to be afraid of the cold, and I was annoyed when I saw snow, but now I watch the snowflakes fall so carefully, it's also beautiful!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "It can be seen that people's preferences will change at any time!" Things are almost done here, counting the time, I should go to Da Zhou! ”

"Hmm!" Li Chengqian nodded lightly, there was some worry in his eyes, the news of the snow disaster came two days ago, it was not a good choice for Chen Guo, who was preparing for the war, when Chen Guo lobbied other countries, Da Zhou also sent envoys at the same time, and because of Da Zhou's deterrence, these countries became hesitant again.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although Chen Guo's national strength has been damaged to a certain extent, it is not as good as before, but it is impossible for Da Zhou to eat Chen Guo in one bite, if both are defeated in the end, it is just to make a wedding dress for others.

"I know Chen Guo's difficulties, and Senior Brother must be in a dilemma now! Naturally, you want to help me, but you also have a responsibility on your shoulders! Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I have a suggestion, senior brother might as well listen to it!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Li Chengqian said.

"Make peace with Da Zhou!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "You know the conditions of their peace, handing over you and Jingyun, for me, this is absolutely impossible!" ”

"Listen to me first!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "I'm just asking you to delay time in the name of peace, on the one hand, the peace talks are delaying time, and on the other hand, increasing the number of troops to prepare for war at any time, and the two will not be delayed!" And I will continue my affairs, if I fail, you can continue to talk, retreat can protect Jingyun, if I succeed, there will be no danger of war! ”

"Okay, you can give it a try!" Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes with some resolute taste, which made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was silent for a while and continued, "Do what you can, if you can't do it, come back!" ”

"I know!" Jiang Xiaoyu hugged his knees, enjoying the last comfortable and reassuring time in Chen Guo.

That night, Jiang Xiaoyu planned to go to Da Zhou alone with the caravan again, but this time Liu Ruli and Ling Huyao also followed.

"Master, I can handle it, Senior Brother is here now, you can just devote yourself to studying medicine, there is no need to follow me on adventures!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Your uncle is my friend, Zhao Ling is my little friend, and as a doctor, I can't bear to see the lives ruined!" Liu Ruli said lightly, "Why did I help you because you are my apprentice, but also because this is what I should do!" ”

"That's it!" Ling Huyao then said, "My cousin is in danger now, I can't sit idly by!" Don't worry, I'll be careful, I will never bother you! And I'm not so incompetent, I must have something to help you, even if it fails, we will live and die together! ”

Looking at the resolute meaning in the eyes of the two, Jiang Xiaoyu knew that he couldn't persuade them, and at the same time, there was a warmth in his heart.

Ling Huyao put on the human skin mask that Ouyang Qu had prepared for him a long time ago, and changed his appearance, while Liu Ruli didn't need to disguise, his reputation in the rivers and lakes was too loud, Da Zhou, Chen or other countries, there were people he had healed, and many people regarded him as a life-saving benefactor, among them, there were also relatives of the emperor, powerful ministers and important ministers, his prestige was too high, there was no absolute reason, Emperor Zhou wanted to kill him, and he had to estimate the impact first.

The caravan quickened its pace, and the three of them followed the footsteps of the caravan, and it took seven days to return to Dazhou, Liu Ruli naturally would not be with them anymore, as a partner, Zhao Qu naturally received him at the gate of the city.

After getting into Zhao Qu's carriage, he glanced at Ling Huyao who was following Jiang Xiaoyu suspiciously, and asked, "Is it reliable?" ”

"This is Linghu Yao!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Linghu Yao?" Zhao Qu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said mockingly, "I have been back to the capital for a long time, and I haven't seen his figure, and I didn't expect to be alive!" You haven't heard yet, your father is going to cut off the father-son relationship with you! ”

"You dead fat man, you can't speak human words!" Ling Huyao hugged his arms and snorted and said, "My father and I have a very good relationship, you don't need to worry!" ”

"I was a little fat when I was young, and you can continue to talk about what happened more than ten years ago, look at my demeanor now, and you are embarrassed to call me fat?" Zhao Qu sneered, "There are some people who have always said that they want to achieve a great cause in the future when they were young, but now, they can't do anything, it's ridiculous!" ”

"I'm called carefree who yearns for life in the rivers and lakes, you go to the rivers and lakes to inquire, who doesn't know the name of my Uncle Linghu, but you, a copper-smelling businessman!" Ling Huyao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"I'm a businessman, but I'm a successful businessman, better than some useless guy who is so angry that his dad wants to cut ties with him!" Zhao Qu sneered.

"Do you want to fight?"

"I'll be afraid of you?"

Jiang Xiaoyu pressed his temples, how could these two people be the same people outside, why did they come here and quarrel with each other like children?

"Enough of you guys!" Jiang Xiaoyu scolded in a low voice, "You guys are planning to attract everyone to listen to your quarrel, aren't you?" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, we don't like each other!" The anger on Zhao Qu's face disappeared in an instant, and he turned back into the businessman who was moody and angry, "However, I have now learned that adults don't remember villains, and I won't be as knowledgeable as him!" ”

"You!" Ling Huyao couldn't tell him, and he glared angrily.

Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said to Ling Huyao, "Do you need to go back and say hello to your father?" ”

"No!" Ling Huyao shook his head gently, "Don't worry about him!" He's made him work too hard for me in this life, so don't let him continue to worry about me! ”

Zhao Qu smiled silently, but there was still a look of envy in his eyes, he knew that Ling Huyao's father was very good to this son, just like a father was to his eldest brother, this kind of father's majestic but intimate or trusting gaze was something he had never gotten. Although he is also the son of his father, he has received too little attention...... But what can be done, who made him not come out of the belly of the princess?

The father's single-mindedness towards the princess and his neglect of their mother and son naturally made his mother unwilling, and it was normal for him to want revenge, but he just found an extreme way to harm others and himself in the end. But that's not a reason for his mother to die, no one can take his mother's life, leaving him alone and helpless!

"How is the situation in the capital these days?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"Not great!" Zhao Qu said, "Your Majesty has reprimanded my father several times for no reason, all of which are trivial matters, but because during the funeral of the imperial grandmother, Your Majesty was furious, and my father trembled and asked for guilt several times!" Not only the Chu Palace, but even the King of Jin could not be spared, because of the style problem, he was reprimanded several times more than His Majesty, and several shops, restaurants, and Qinglou were seized! It seems that His Majesty's patience has also reached a critical point, and I don't know what else he will do in the future! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's face sank for a moment: "What about Zhao Ling?" ”

"The eldest brother is under house arrest in the Chu Palace, even if he wants to do something wrong, there is nothing to do, but several people who came in turned out his previous affairs and impeached him!" Zhao Qu said, "Anyway, the situation is not too normal! ”

He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu's face, thought about it and said, "But it's not that good things have happened, there are rumors that His Majesty wants to abolish the Xiao Cavalry Battalion!" Now people's hearts are stirring, and they are all speculating about what His Majesty will do next! ”

"Things always come step by step!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Fortunately, it's not too unexpected, but Your Majesty is moody now, and I have to hurry up!" ”

In the evening, Zhao Qu set up a banquet, entertained Jiang Xiaoyu and his party, called a few merchants to accompany them, staggered and talked about some business matters, so that everyone was relieved, and then went back to rest.

"Will we be able to see my cousin?" Ling Huyao asked after he went back.

"Difficult!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I have only met him once, and now he is being watched, and as soon as we show up around him, there is a great chance of being discovered." But don't think about these things today, have a good rest, and start to get nervous tomorrow! ”
