Chapter 119: Excessive naivety
Lonely and lonely sometimes not only describes the emperor, for example, Zhou Jinhuan at this time used this word is very appropriate.
In the past, she was accompanied by Ah Cheng and Su Wan in the Egret Pavilion, but now she is really alone.
She didn't want Ah Cheng to get involved in the chaos in the palace again, and she didn't want to see Su Wan's face again, whenever she saw it, she couldn't help but want to avenge the Zhou couple, Xiao Jingzhi, and herself, these are not a headache for her, her headache is that even if she wants to take revenge, she can't do anything to Su Wan.
She tried to escape, but it was useless, it was useless, the palace was too tight, she couldn't escape, she never knew that she was so useless, as good as the mud that didn't stick up to the wall.
Zhao Yu didn't know what she was busy with these days, but she didn't come to disturb her, as if she had forgotten about her.
The last time he hung her like this, it was when she had just crossed here, and at that time her greatest wish was to be able to leave the palace, and it turned out that her wish had not changed after going around, was this ironic?
"Girl, you can eat something more, if the emperor knows......" The little palace maid brought all the food, in fact, she didn't mean not to eat, the key was that she couldn't eat, so many days, although Zhao Yu didn't come to disturb, he also didn't give her any news about Xiao Jingzhi.
"I'll eat, you go down first. She really didn't have the heart to deal with this little palace maid, and she sent people away in a few words.
Looking at the full food on the table, she picked up the chopsticks, forced a few bites, and finally put the chopsticks down.
"Girl, let's eat some, I won't be able to stay up like this. It's another clichΓ©, Zhou Jinhuan wants to pretend that he can't hear anything, but if you think about it, this voice is too familiar, right?
"I said I would never see you again, if you think your life is long, I don't mind proposing to Zhao Yu to let you live in peace. The person who came was really Su Wan, Zhou Jinhuan's face was ugly, and she didn't even want to raise her eyes, and now every time she sees her, she thinks of the Zhou couple who died in vain.
"I know the girl doesn't want to see me, but you always want to see General Xiao, right?" These words made Zhou Jinhuan's eyes light up suddenly, but he immediately calmed down: Su Wan's martial arts are not weak, but it is still difficult to come and go freely, otherwise Xiao Jingzhi would have rescued her from the palace a long time ago, didn't he?
"Wan'er has been in the palace for many years, and there are naturally many ways to get out of the palace, so the girl doesn't have to doubt it. Su Wan saw her doubts, but she didn't say much: "Tonight, Qingyu Pavilion." β
"What the hell are you messing with?" Zhou Jinhuan really couldn't believe that she would help herself, she stopped: "Just be Wan'er to atone for herself." β
Should Zhou Jinhuan believe it, maybe she has some bad intentions?
But, does she have any other way, at least this is an opportunity, she should always try, at most she is found by Zhao Yu and bear his anger.
When she was a child, in the Qingyu Pavilion, Zhou Jinhuan arrived on time, and Su Wan came earlier than her.
"I've been with the girl for so long, but I still don't know how to make this thing, isn't it too stupid?" Su Wan handed her a piece of pigskin, and when she saw her puzzled face, she explained: "Wan'er took the girl to see General Xiao, but I'm afraid that the girl will never want to come back to the Egret Pavilion again, and there must always be a girl to stay in the Egret Pavilion as your stand-in." β
This is not a difficult thing, taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Zhou Jinhuan made the human skin mask in a few strokes, this is not her skill, but she has made her own human skin mask once, and she is familiar with it.
"Is this okay?" she threw the human skin mask to Su Wan, her face was a little impatient, and she asked in disbelief: "Do you really know where Jing Zhi is, you won't lie to me again, right?"
"The girl is so angry with me?" Su Wan was a little helpless when she said this, and she jumped onto the eaves of the Qingyu Pavilion with a slight effort around Zhou Jinhuan's waist, and she was taken out of the palace before she had time to exclaim.
As soon as she left the palace, Su Wan did not go with her, but put her in a carriage, and the person driving was also Xiaozhu, who she was familiar with.
"Mrs. Xiao will be handed over to you, General Xiao is now in Hongzhou, you have to protect Mrs. Xiao's safety all the way. Su Wan carefully instructed Xiaozhu, and Zhou Jinhuan was a little confused: "Aren't you going with us?"
"Madame is afraid that I will send you away with the front foot, and go back to the palace with the back foot to tell Zhao Yu?" Su Wan said this well, Zhou Jinhuan did have this question, Su Wan smiled, as if she was still the same Su Wan who followed her to face all the difficulties, and there was a little helplessness in her words: "Wan'er is going back to the palace, but she is going back to the Egret Pavilion with this human skin mask, Wan'er and Madame have been together for a year, in terms of imitating Madame, there must be no one in this world who can compare to Wan'er." β
"Madame, no, girl, see you later. Su Wan jumped lightly, the person had already left, and Zhou Jinhuan, who was sitting in the carriage, muttered: "Wan'er......"
Xiaozhu drove extremely fast, Zhou Jinhuan immediately adjusted his emotions, and asked Xiaozhu who was driving lightly: "Xiaozhu, what is the relationship between you and Su Wan?"
"Madam, what are these words, I like Miss Su Wan, haven't you always known this?" There was nothing wrong with Xiaozhu's words, but she didn't know why she always felt weird.
"Hongzhou is not far from Yecheng, right?" Hongzhou is a small place, and she doesn't know where it is.
"Hongzhou is in the southwest of Yecheng, it is a small city, it will be there in about two hours, Madame should sleep for a while, right?"
It turned out that in the past few days when she was in the White Egret Pavilion, Xiao Jingzhi had already led troops to Hongzhou, no wonder Zhao Yu didn't bother her, she must have taken care of it, right?
"What about Ah Cheng, why didn't he come with him?" The carriage was empty, she was the only one, it was said that the Xiao Mansion was empty now, only Ah Cheng was left, how could they not think of taking Ah Cheng with them?
"Madame doesn't need to worry, Ah Cheng is in a very safe place, Wan'er has some arrangements. As soon as Xiaozhu said this, Zhou Jinhuan immediately realized where her original strange feeling came from: "You and Su Wan haven't known each other for a long time, it's only been three or four months, and even Jing Zhi doesn't know the depth of her kung fu, why was she able to rescue me from the palace, but you weren't surprised at all?"
"This ......" Xiaozhu still made up a lie, and Zhou Jinhuan continued: "Su Wan is a maid, you are a housekeeper, you can rest assured that Ah Cheng will be arranged by her?"
"What does Madam want to say?" Xiaozhu was still in a hurry, and his tone loosened a little: "Madame has time to ponder these things here, so it is better to think about how to face adults for a while." β
"What is the situation over there?" Xiao Zhu's words were to the point, she had been imprisoned in the White Egret Pavilion for many days, and she didn't know what the situation was on Xiao Jingzhi's side at all.
"I'm just a small guy, so naturally I can't see it, but my wife came to Hongzhou and knew about it. Xiaozhu's words are equivalent to saying nothing.
Su Wan is not the Su Wan of the past, and Xiaozhu is not the Xiaozhu of the past.
This time, Zhou Jinhuan didn't ask any more questions, and sat quietly in the carriage.
Without the illumination of incandescent lamps, the ancient night could not see the five fingers, if it weren't for Xiaozhu's familiarity with the route, such a night rush would be simply looking for death.
The carriage stumbled all night, and when the sun was just showing its head, Hongzhou also arrived.
Now is the sensitive time, the city gate of Hongzhou is tightly closed, Xiaozhu got out of the car and shouted a few times to the defenders of the city gate, explaining his identity, Zhou Jinhuan also got out of the carriage, stared at the closed city gate for a long time, with a "squeak", the city gate opened, facing a tall horse, the person sitting on it smiled at her lightly, and stretched out his hand to her: "Madam, you are here." β
It seems that Xiao Jingzhi guessed that she would come.
The two rode a horse to the barracks, this is not the first time Zhou Jinhuan has come to the barracks, but it is the first time that the atmosphere is so serious.
"It's been hard along the way, eat something first, and then get a good night's sleep?" As soon as she arrived in the big tent, Xiao Jingzhi hugged her into his arms, tightly, and whispered in her ear: "I know you'll come, but I don't want you to come......"
"Fool, what are you talking about......" She also hugged him tightly, breathing gently to feel his breath, it was him, her husband, her beloved, and her haunting Jingzhi.
"If you want something to eat, I'll make it for you. Kissing her little pear vortex, he gently pinched her face: "You have suffered these days. β
"I want to eat the eyebrow porridge you made. "Qimei porridge always smells of war, but he will only do this, so it's good for her to eat it.
"Okay, Madame, wait, just a moment. He bowed his head and kissed her on the lips, and turned to make her something to eat, but instead of waiting in the tent, she went about the barracks.
There are at most 1,000 soldiers here, not as many as the soldiers in Shuozhou City, does Jing Zhi really want to use these 1,000 people to attack Yecheng?
She panicked, this is simply hitting a stone with an egg, even if there are no more unscrupulous generals in Yecheng now, the number of soldiers is far greater than these, and they are simply sending them to death.
Perhaps, can this battle not be fought, can they withdraw their troops?
"Madame is looking at something, and she is going to eat with her husband. β
Xiao Jingzhi held the porridge in one hand and pulled her into the big tent with the other.
"Just look at the way you look and know that you haven't slept all night, eat some porridge and sleep a little longer. Xiao Jingzhi took the spoon and fed her one bite at a time, she was a little surprised, and reached out to end the spoon, but he dodged it: "Good, I'll feed you." β
"Jing Zhi, I was imprisoned by Zhao Yu in the Egret Pavilion in those days. This topic was taboo, but she wanted to explain this matter to him clearly, and she was afraid that he would think too much: "Zhao Yu is not a good person, but he just imprisoned me in the Egret Pavilion, probably to take me hostage, as a threat to you, and did not do anything to me......"
"Jin Huan, what do you want to say?" Xiao Jingzhi's hand was lowered, those tender eyes stared at her, and she said bluntly: "I naively want to tell you that Zhao Yu imprisoned me in the White Egret Pavilion and didn't do anything to me, can we not have a head-on conflict with him, you must know that the defenders of the Yechengguang Palace have 20,000 people, and we only have less than 1,000 people, so we are not his opponents at all......"
"Jin Huan, my lady, you know that you are naΓ―ve, why do you need to say these words?" Xiao Jingzhi's expression was a frustration she had never seen before.
