The plague raged among the Chu and Song armies, and the strength of the two countries was suddenly reduced.

Although Song and Chu had negotiated peace, the plague in the army could not be alleviated for a long time. Both countries sent famous doctors from their borders to the military camps for treatment, but unfortunately they were all in vain.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and even Linjiang in Chu was like Song Guoyu, with heavy snowfall.

The king of Chu was dressed in a snow-white fox fur, holding Yan Xiao with one hand and Xiao En with the other, and the three of them walked slowly in the snow in the Zhaohuang Palace.

Xiao En pinched the snowball in his hand, lowered his head and muttered: "Mother, I miss Xiao Ying so much...... If he's here, he'll be on a snowball fight with me. He told me that when you were young, you used to have snowball fights in Chen Guo. I've never seen snow before, and I don't believe that snowflakes can be thrown into balls. ”

Shu'er stretched out her hand and caught a few cool snowflakes in the boundless darkness in front of her.

"My mother misses him too."

Xiao En looked up at Shu'er, who had a calm face, wrinkled his nose and said, "But I never saw you cry." ”

Shu'er explained: "Because I promised him not to cry. ”

Xiao En was puzzled for a moment, so he had to give up.

Shu'er added: "He didn't see snow when he was young. I told him that snowflakes could be thrown into balls, and he didn't believe me. ”

Xiao En was puzzled again: "But didn't my mother grow up with Xiao Ying?" He hadn't seen snow since he was a child, so where did his mother see it? ”

"Yudu."

When Xiao En heard the word Yudu, he became angry: "The last time I saw King Song, he told me that he lived in Yudu. He also said that he would take me to the White Jade Palace to play. I asked him what was interesting in the White Jade Palace that was not available in the Zhaohuang Palace, and he said that he could play in the snow in the White Jade Palace in winter. But I can also play in the snow in Zhaohuang Palace! It seems that King Song is indeed the biggest liar and bad guy in the world!

He lied to me and said that he was going to take me to Yudu to play, but he deceived Xiaoying to see him, causing Xiaoying to sleep in the mausoleum. He lied to me that he was my daddy...... My own father is a hundred times better than him! ”

Shu'er sighed: "But your own father is no longer there." Since you were born, you can only protect yourself by recognizing King Song as your father. Now that my mother has become the king of Chu, you don't have to recognize King Song as your father anymore. You have always recognized King Song as your father all these years, and you have to blame your mother for lying to you. ”

Xiao En was even more angry: "So King Song still harms us to deceive others!" I hate him! If I see him again, I will definitely avenge Xiaoying! I'm going to let him sleep in the mausoleum too, and he won't be able to eat good food or play any more fun things!" ”

Avenge? Delicious? Fun?

Listening to her daughter's immature voice, Shu'er never expected that the five-year-old child would already use the word "revenge".

Shu'er couldn't help but recall that when she was five years old, she was still eating, drinking, and having fun with Liu Jing in the White Jade Palace. And what hatred is, she still doesn't understand.

After all, the enemy has kindness to her, and the benefactor has hatred for her. The accounts in the old days, as shrewd as her, still can't be settled. The only thing that can be reconciled is her debt to all of them.

should have hated Liu Jing to the bone, but who knew that in her first memory, the person who shared delicious food and fun with her, took her all over the White Jade Palace, and had snowball fights unscrupulously, was Liu Jing...... The person who rescued her barefoot in Song Guotian's prison was also Liu Jing. Funny

Xiao En saw that Shu'er didn't speak for a long time, so she asked, "Mother, don't you hate King Song?" Isn't he our enemy? ”

Shu'er's tone was indifferent: "He saved my life, and I saved his life." In fact, the death of your father and the death of Xiaoying, I also have unshirkable responsibility. It was I who didn't listen to my mother's words, and I did everything on my own initiative, which hurt them.

Xiao En, you are still young, and there are many things that you may not be able to understand......"

Xiao En held Shu'er's hand with both hands: "I understand! I don't blame my mother! I will always listen to my mother! My uncle and Xiaoying both told me that my mother mistook her father and mother when she was a child, and she was lost, and she suffered a lot outside. They told me never to blame my mother, to protect my mother, to listen to my mother, and to accompany my mother. Xiao En will do it. ”

Shu'er's heart warmed, touched her daughter's head and said, "My mother will always protect you, love you, and accompany you." ”

Yan Xiao also patted Shu'er's hand and said, "Fortunately, the hardships are sweet, and having a daughter like Xiaoen is a blessing." ”

The three of them were talking, and suddenly someone from the palace hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness Qiqi, there is an urgent military report from the Anyi army, saying that it is from the Rong tribe...... The Rong people captured tens of thousands of Chu troops who were still in the Song Realm! ”

Yan Xiao was shocked: "The Rong people bypassed the Song Kingdom so quickly? Or did Song Guo deliberately release water? In the first battle of Xiling that year, the king of Song used the Rong people to destroy the ...... of Qi, Wei and Shu"

Shu'er's eyelashes drooped, and she recalled the last words Lin Ying said to her before she died-"The matter of the peerless peak was sent by me to Liu Jing. ”

Therefore, the person behind the scenes who used the Rong people to destroy Qi, Wei, and Shu, and added the credit and charges to Liu Jing was actually her most defenseless Lin Ying! Every time she thinks about it, Shu'er shudders, surprised by the secrecy of Lin Ying's thoughts and the treachery of her methods. But it was those thoughts and methods that he hid deeply that made her feel most comfortable when she was by his side.

Knowing Lin Ying's methods, it is conceivable that today's Song State is not the Song State when Qi Wei and Chen Shu attacked the Song Dynasty. During Lin Ying's reign, he had always secretly sent Zhao Qi to control the trade of Chu and Song, but in fact, the business war never stopped. There are so many Song coins that they have long lost their value. Shu'er heard that many Song people had switched to trading with Chu coins, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, it turned out that after Lin Ying had read the manuscripts that had been passed down from generation to generation of the island owners of the Zhuge family on Xuanji Island, he had realized this plan to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The Chu army was invincible, the plague entangled the Song army, and the Rong people made a comeback...... At this moment of unsettled waves, Shu'er recalled that on the day of Liu Jing's wedding, he walked under the warm sun of the rising sun, shining brightly. At that time, how could he have thought that the Song Kingdom would fall into such a situation.

Shu'er was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say to the palace man who came to report: "King Xuan'an Yi is here to see me." ”

The palace people bowed their heads and said, "Your Highness, King Anyi is not in the army, not in the palace, and not in the palace. King Anyi...... Nowhere to be found. ”

Shu'er said again: "Then Xuan Lu Xiang came to see me." ”

The palace man replied: "Yes." So he hurried away.

……

On the outskirts of Song Guoyudu, Liu Jing once again stepped on the snow to visit the Taoist chief of the thatched house, but the thatched house was empty, and the Taoist chief and his little apprentice did not know where to go.

It turned out that Liu Ying had taken Xue Fan to the Song-Chu border where the plague was raging.

He thought that maybe he could use the medical skills he learned in Yaowang Mountain to save people from fire and water, so that he could help his father-in-law atone for the sin of leading the Rong people deep into Kyushu again.

The world doesn't know that after the Rong people broke through the Jinyang Pass, the reason why they were able to successfully bypass the Zhao and Song realms and go straight to Chu was because the father-in-law sent an extremely detailed map of Kyushu to Mobei Wolf City.

Father-in-law, your wish is for me to rule the world, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to rule the world. Retreat to the second, since you can't rule the world, you can only help the world.
