Chapter 80: Guiyang
While the brothers in the mountains were discussing the itinerary, Ying Baoyue didn't know what was about to happen in Guiyang, and at this time she was arranging the last thing she would do when she left the village where she had lived for half a month.
"Sister, are you leaving?"
Xu Wenning stood on the side of the road and looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.
She still had wound medicine on her face, and there was still the warmth left by this woman on her skin, but this hard-won temperature was about to dissipate so quickly.
"I have something important to do, and I have to go somewhere far." Ying hugged Yue and squatted down, looking at the girl in front of her, "I'm sorry, I took it upon myself to take you out of that house, and now I'm leaving." ”
Ying Baoyue looked at the little girl and said, "You don't have the ability to make a choice now, and when you grow up, you can choose whether to return to this home." ”
Staying in that environment at this age didn't do her any good, both physically and mentally.
She has no regrets, nor does she impulsively interfere with this little girl's life.
The woman in front of her had apologies in her eyes, but her will was firm and unwavering.
Xu Wenning liked this look.
"I know it's irresponsible, but there was no better way to do it at the time," Ying Baoyue said softly, "You ......"
"I know." The little girl's voice interrupted the woman in front of her.
She knows.
This man changed her life.
She doesn't regret it, she's happy.
I'm glad to know someone like that.
"Sister, you are already ...... Practitioners? Xu Wenning looked straight at Ying Baoyue and asked.
This kid ......
Ying Baoyue stared into the eyes of the girl in front of her and nodded seriously.
"I am."
Xu Wenning's eyes rose in an instant, Ying Baoyue looked at the happy little girl and smiled, but the next moment the elated little girl's big eyes welled up with big tears.
This six-year-old child, she was beaten and scolded by her stepmother and did not cry, and she was abandoned by her father without crying, but at this time, she burst into tears.
"I knew that...... Mother is right. ”
A hoarse cry flowed from the girl's mouth, and Xu Wenning cried hoarsely, tears flowing all over her face.
Ying Baoyue watched as she stretched out her hand and took her into her arms.
Xu Wenning cried even more, and even she was ashamed of her sudden age and seemed to be getting smaller, but the woman didn't dislike it even if the clothes on her chest were wet, and she didn't let go of her. Until the rubbing of armor sounded beside him.
Feeling the cold gaze of Guichang behind him, Ying Huyue patted the head of the child in his arms.
"I have to go."
"You're going to ...... after that"
Without waiting for Ying Baoyue to finish speaking, Xu Wenning was full of excitement, wiped his face with his sleeves indiscriminately, plucked up the courage to look at Ying Baoyue and asked, "Sister, can I go with you?" ”
Looking at the stunned woman, Xu Wenning's heart beat faster, raised his head and said loudly and quickly, "I...... I'm very good at feeding, and I can do a lot of work...... Even if I can't, I can study hard, and I will definitely be obedient......"
A warm finger gently stopped her lips.
"You don't need to be obedient after that, you need to do what you want."
Xu Wenning looked at the woman in front of him blankly.
Ying Baoyue looked at her and smiled, "It's not that I don't want to take you with me, it's that my side is too dangerous." ”
In a sense, it can be considered the most dangerous place in the entire continent.
This woman is self-aware.
Behind Ying Baoyue, Chu Ji's eyes flickered.
Ying Baoyue put her hands on Xu Wenning's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and carefully admonished.
"If you go west along this road, you will see a small courtyard with a blackened roof, you go there to find a woman named Mu Rongyin and ask her to take you in."
"Your Highness!" Guichang frowned when he heard this, and was about to have a seizure, when Ying Baoyue turned his back to him and stretched out a refusal hand.
"Da Sima, please remember that you have no position to intervene during the period of peace."
Guichang choked again.
Ying Baoyue looked at the teary-eyed little girl in front of her again, "My name is Ying Baoyue, you can tell that woman everything that just happened, as for whether she can take you in." ”
Her voice paused, and she looked at the child in front of her seriously, but her tone was not tolerant of the child.
"It's up to you to be eloquent."
It may be cruel to a child, but that's the way it is.
Ying Baoyue looked at her and said quietly, "Whether people can survive or not can only rely on yourself." ”
Xu Wenning stared blankly at the eyes of the woman in front of him with red eyes, then bit his lip and nodded heavily.
"I see."
"Your Highness, hurry up and go!" Guichang, whose eyes were full of annoyance, shouted loudly, but Ying Baoyue did not look back.
Xu Wenning felt the warm hand and finally gently pushed her back.
"I can only send you here, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, don't look back."
The little girl ran towards the west of the village.
She doesn't cry.
She doesn't look back.
……
……
Sima Guichang, the newly named Marquis of Zhongyi, left the small mountain village on the side of the former Qinli Mountain with a large group of men and horses.
At that time, no one knew that there was an extra carriage in this large group of men.
Amid the sound of wheels rolling in the carriage, Ying Baoyue lifted the curtain of the car and took one last look at the village, and then lowered the curtain.
With the sound of the soldier running, the carriage departed.
And just seven days after the carriage set off, the news that the former Qin and the princess had found it spread all over the country.
However, just three days before this news spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, someone in the former Qin capital received the news in advance.
……
……
The former Qin capital, Guiyang.
Although there have been many palace changes, the former Qin king at the cost of giving up the throne stopped the final attack of the Six Nations Alliance on this ancient city, and finally left the city.
Many years have passed since the war of that year, and even in the troubled times, Guiyang City still retains the atmosphere of drunkenness left by the capital of the Yang Empire.
The bustling streets are bustling with people, luxurious carriages come and go, and the turmoil outside seems to have no effect on the city.
The prosperity is gone, but it is still singing and dancing here.
However, in the darkness of this bustling scene, no one knew that other voices were sounding.
"Hey, people didn't die."
On the top floor of the Qianjin Pavilion in Guiyang, in the deep cabinet, a man's smiling voice suddenly came.
Qianjin Pavilion, as its name suggests, is worth a thousand gold.
This is the most expensive restaurant and singing and dancing shop in Guiyang City, and of course, it is also a veritable Pinjin Cave and Gentle Township.
However, at this time, the atmosphere and gentleness in a pavilion on the top floor were not touched.
The house is full of splendor, extravagant and comfortable.
However, looking at the man dressed in black in the room, a soldier in soft armor kneeling on the woolen carpet was like kneeling on pins and needles.
"It is said to be...... Zhongyi Hou Guichang found it near Li Mountain. "But Lord Xu bit him to death, and when his people left, they were sure that the princess was dead." ”
"Is it," the man in black didn't show any signs on his face when he heard this, just staring intently at the wine in his glass.
"Anyway, that princess is coming back soon, isn't she?"
"Yes," the soldiers sweated like rain, "it was the incompetence of the subordinates......"
"No, it's not that you're incompetent," the man in black interrupted him with a smile when he heard his subordinate's self-blame.
"Tips and help have been given to this extent, but there is still a living mouth, how can I blame my people?"
The man in black looked up condescendingly and admired the whole picture of Guiyang City outside the window, and smiled softly as he spoke.
"It seems that the rumors are true, the immortal officials of the former Qin are indeed all wine bags and rice bags."
"Lord...... The lord ...... "When the soldiers on the earth heard this, they did not have the slightest joy, and the two trembled.
"What are you afraid of, you can't use this anymore." The man in black looked at him and said, "Anyway, what has Xiao Aye been busy with lately?" ”
The soldier was almost in collapse in fear, and when he heard the questioning, he fell to the ground in shock and spoke.
"The king has something else to do recently...... the soldier hurriedly added, "But after the prince heard about the incident here, he sent a message that General Lang had come here." ”
The man in black put away his smile and showed again, "Ah Ye is still as busy as ever, but he is willing to send his right-hand man in his busy schedule, he has a heart, thank him for me." ”
The soldier nodded busily.
"Then, when will Ah Lang arrive in Guiyang?" The man in black asked, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
"Seven days later." The soldier replied.
"Yes," said the man in black with a smile in his eyes, as if he had inadvertently spoken, "and when will Her Royal Highness the princess's convoy arrive?" ”
The soft-armored soldier whispered.
"Seven days later."
"Oh?" The man in black smiled.
"What a coincidence."
