Mingyue hurriedly went out to relay the girl's words, and Zhang Erzhen took out a mask and put it on before leaving the room. The inn was already deserted, and the only shopkeeper was sitting on a small chair in the door looking listlessly outside, watching the little son of the Zhang family come out, and sighed: "Something happened in the suburbs, I'm afraid the city will be unsafe, little brother should go back quickly." The food, clothes, and quilts you brought, I saw that they were also taken away just now, you are well-wishers, and the relief food from the imperial court has not yet arrived, but you came first. But there is such a thing as epidemics, who is unlucky and who is unlucky, regardless of whether we are good or bad. Those who can walk are gone, those who can run have run away with their families, who is still left to find death? What's more, you still came by yourself...... Childe, I advise you to go. ”

Zhang Erzhen thanked the shopkeeper for his kindness, and said suspiciously: "Why don't you leave the shopkeeper?" "Don't you want to give up this inn?

"I was just a loner, and I wandered here by myself, but thanks to the kind people who took me in, I gradually became the shopkeeper here. Now that the inn hasn't fallen, I'm going to watch here. If I leave, won't this inn become an ownerless thing, and I won't find it when the lord comes back in the future, how can I explain it?" The shopkeeper turned his gaze to the door again, watching the once noisy and lively ready-to-wear shop turn into a pile of rags, and continued with a regretful sigh: "Everyone is gone, there must be something left." ”

This can be regarded as a kind of belief, but Zhang Erzhen disagreed, and replied: "The shopkeeper closes the door tightly and locks it, who can come in, no matter how big it is, it is not as important as life, isn't it?

"Little brother, this is not right, although life is important, but there are too many things in this world that are more important than life, I don't leave, maybe someone will come to stay in the hotel, I have to wait. The shopkeeper cheered up, changed his low breath just now, shook the dust on his body and stood up and said: "Little brother is here at this time, isn't there something more important than life? ”

Zhang Erzhen is looking at a begonia full of spring flowers on the right, the young branches are hanging obliquely on the branches, the green leaves are shaking their heads and swaying left and right, look, it is still spring, but everywhere is a bleak scene, "The shopkeeper is right, but there are many things in this world that are more important than life." —for example...... Zhang Erzhen felt that this was very meaningless, but she still wanted to know, would the fourteen-year-old Lixing regret Lisuo's consent to the family affairs at that time? To be honest, Zhang Erzhen regretted it, it was all life, and whose was more precious than whom.

When Uncle Zhang was busy dealing with the things he had, he would return to the inn at noon but could not find his own girl, and in a hurry, the shopkeeper's smile sent a letterhead, of course, it was left by Zhang Erzhen, Uncle Zhang sighed after reading it, and ordered the little guys to pack their luggage and leave Tai'an Prefecture quickly.

"Childe, what should we do when Uncle Zhang goes back? The slave heard that the situation outside is very bad now, and there are only a few doctors in the suburbs to save people, and Dr. Langzhong is reluctant to go, for fear that he will be infected. ”

"The imperial court has sent someone, let's go meet now. In Mingyue's dumbfoundedness, Zhang Erzhen's steps became bigger and she walked towards Xiangyulou, as for what Yi Qian said, Zhang Erzhen really didn't doubt it, she still had trust in her peers.

Xiangyulou was originally the premier restaurant in Tai'an Prefecture, and it is also one of the few buildings that have not fallen down so far. The reddish-brown lacquered wooden door was tightly closed, the front of the door was depressed, and half of the figure could not be found, the master and servant who were hiding in the corner and watched waited for a long time, but there was no movement, Mingyue was about to speak, and Zhang Erzhen dragged her towards the back door. Sure enough, the back door opened a small corner of the door, unguarded, Zhang Erzhen quietly pushed open the door and crept in, and made a "shhh The corner of the back door leads to the stairs on the second floor, and the sturdy cypress stone red stairs have been slightly damaged, and Zhang Erzhen squeaks when she steps on it, which looks particularly weird. Gradually, after walking a few steps, I could vaguely hear the man's voice, his voice was deep and deep, and the deliberately suppressed voice seemed cautious. When Zhang Erzhen gently walked to the top step, the innermost room was suddenly opened, and a bearded man shouted vigilantly: "Who is there?!"

Zhang Erzhen was turning his head and signaling Mingyue to make a small sound, Leng Buding was startled by such a rough and hoarse voice, looked at the voice, blinked and rubbed his eyes, and then exclaimed: "Second Master Qiu, is it really you?"

Second Master Qiu, who was full of beard, looked carefully at the handsome young man in front of him, looked up and down suspiciously, and before Zhang Erzhen could introduce himself, he had already recognized it: "You are ...... Why are you here?"

Mingyue finally followed, and wanted to rush in front of Zhang Erzhen vigilantly. Zhang Erzhen walked over cautiously with light hands and feet, listened to the creaking sound of the wooden plank, tilted her head and prepared to poke into the door, and asked: "Since Second Master Qiu is here, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here, Second Master Qiu, I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince, please report it." Zhang Erzhen had a flattering smile on her face, deliberately making her voice loud. Sure enough, the male voice in the room was clear and cold, like the cold wind in late winter and early spring, warm and cold: "Qiu Er, bring her in, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

Mingyue pulled Zhang Erzhen's sleeve and showed concern, Zhang Erzhen signaled that she was okay, and as Second Master Qiu entered the room, she closed the door with a "bang". This room is the most luxurious one of the Xiangyu Building, the exquisite jade yellow curtain gem beads are still firmly and tightly hung on the royal blue bed curtain, Zhu Youzhu, who originally thought that he would be domineering and sitting on the chair, actually lay on the bed, and can vaguely see Zhu Youzhu's handsome face on the pair of sharp eyes shot over, staring straight at Zhang Erzhen, from entering the door to bypassing the translucent Wufu screen.

"Your Royal Highness, what ......do your subordinates think" Second Master Qiu clasped his fists with both hands, and looked at Zhang Erzhen with slight suspicion, the girl of the Zhang family didn't stay in Wuchang well, why did she run to Tai'an (the last time they met was in Wuchang), before the words were finished being interrupted by Zhu Youji, Zhu Youzhu stretched out his slender hand to open the curtain, and said lightly with dark red lips: "Just do what I say, if they don't care, they will die together." Second Master Qiu still hesitated, Zhu Youzhu seemed to be tired and waved his hand to signal him to go out, Second Master Qiu wanted to say something about Miss Zhang, Zhu Youzhu's cold gaze came, as if he was impatient, and it seemed to be a warning, Second Master Qiu went out, leaving only Zhang Erzhen with a stunned face.

Zhang Erzhen had already walked to the bed, looked at Zhu Youzhu's pale face and asked, "Are you poisoned or infected with the epidemic?" Is there a doctor who came with you and didn't treat you, I see that your face is really bad, so let's lie down quickly." "I feel that every time we meet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is either sick or on the way to treatment...... Zhang Erzhen secretly slandered, Zhu Youzhu is really not easy.

Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to hear Miss Zhang's chatter, Gu Zi grabbed the stone blue group of brocade flowers and stuffed the big pillow under his back to make himself sit comfortably, raised his eyebrows and motioned for Zhang Erzhen to sit on the pestle in front of the bed, and then asked: "You went to Jinan, Shandong Province to worship your ancestors, why did you come here again?!" Do you know that there will be many disasters after the earthquake, and your girl's family will not stop, do you still want to get married?!" The voice became more and more severe, like reprimanding her disobedient sister, Zhang Erzhen lowered her head in shame, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to worry about her, she really shouldn't ...... Wait a minute, worried ?......, "Prince, how did you know that I came to Shandong?" and said a little aggrieved: "Then do you know why I came to Shandong, I wanted to ask you for help at that time, but I couldn't find it." I finally found out that you were here, so I came with me, otherwise who would have come here to find trouble. As he spoke, he also took out a pale cyan jade ring with a thread with Zhu Siluan from his cuffs, "Prince, we still have human affection." ”

Zhu Youzhu stared at Zhang Erzhen's fair-skinned pink little hand carrying the jade ring he sent, and looked at Zhang Erzhen's red and glamorous little mouth, as if he was in a trance for a moment. How long has it been since they've seen each other? This little girl has become more and more bold! Wearing a dark man's robe, with a high crown of hair, and handsome eyebrows, she is both familiar and unfamiliar, and she is addicted to dressing up as a man! She said that she came specifically to find him? There was some pity in her heart, and the fierceness in her eyes was a little, and the mighty and murderous aura that had just come down from the battlefield gradually decreased, and Zhang Erzhen felt Zhu Youji's emotions that had eased down, and she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhu Youzhu has grown into an excellent man, his facial features are three-dimensional and tough, his eyes are sharp and sharp, if it weren't for his pale complexion, his lips were slightly black, and he would be like a bloodthirsty general when he put on his battle armor, and his momentum was enough.

“...... Have you been looking for me?" Zhu Youzhu seemed a little relieved.

Zhang Erzhen remembered the purpose of this trip, there are too many things, and they must be listed one by one: "Here's the thing...... , I originally wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help, and by the way, I returned my life-saving grace, but the palace compound was heavily guarded, and I couldn't get in. The second point is the earthquake in Tai'an Prefecture, the imperial court has not carried out the disaster relief work so far, neither relief food has come, nor has there been a servant and a professional doctor to come to diagnose the disease, if it is really an epidemic, those people must be isolated, of course, it should be ...... Everything that should be cleaned up must be cleaned up, and the cremation should also be cremated, and leaving the corpses to rot for years will attract evil ants and mosquitoes, which will inevitably aggravate the disaster! Third, does the prince still remember Mama Hua and the palace maid of Zhilan, they are all with me...... , well——, it's all good. ”

Zhang Erzhen couldn't wait to spit out, and only when she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, stared at her eyebrows and thought for a while, and then asked: "Prince, why are you lying on the bed, are you injured on the battlefield, I heard that you have just won a big victory over Warat from the south, why don't you go back to Beijing to restore your life at this time?" Zhang Erzhen also felt that the actions of the saint today were very despicable, Zhu Youzhu was only sixteen years old, and the golden and noble prince actually wanted to go to the front line to fight with a sword and gun, what is this like?
