It was late at night, and there was silence in the Lingxi Palace of the Patriotic Nation.

Shu'er could only hear Liu Ying's even snoring after being drunk. In the dim candlelight, she gently cleaned up the food in the house, and with the lamp, she put the two empty wine jars back in the corner of the kitchen.

After packing her bags, she sat quietly in front of the bookcase, looking at Liu Ying's sleeping face and stunned for a while-

Zhuge is calm, a thousand words, but I can't explain a word to you.

Instead of letting you know that your mother was murdered by the conspiracy of my parents and relatives, it is better for you to blame me for having my heart changed and my vows changed. Please forgive me, twenty years ago, I really can't tell the truth in the Song Palace.

Liu Ying, just like the righteous father, you are the emperor's material that belongs to all the people in the world. Jealousy will eventually disappear, but the enmity of life and death can never be forgotten. There should be no me in your heart, let alone hatred.

She wrote:

Leave this Vajra Qi white jade,

Born with different hearts and endured parting.

Yi Hui finally folded his wings,

The spirit rhino is sacrificed in the Lingxi Palace.

It should have been the East China Sea,

Xuanji is an isolated island and forgets the mystery.

Na He Wuyi Eighteen Style,

The sword turned into a sub-rule.

A hundred mouths are indisputable,

It's hard to stop the serial game.

With the sword of the king, the fate of the evil is broken,

I wish you to win the world chess.

But after reading it twice, she couldn't bear it, so she added two lines of small words:

Don't miss each other with one other and two widths, and the three meals cannot be reduced.

In this life, he will fulfill the responsibility of the emperor, and in the next life, he will find the edge of the rivers and lakes.

The three words of the payment are already washed with tears:

Oriental forgiveness

She pressed the thin paper with the engraved plum jade hairpin that King Wei gave her in the Zichuan Yihui Palace, the words are ink, the night is ink, and the jade hairpin is also ink.

In Dongyang City, the streets are empty and the lights are dim.

The bustle of the festival of worship and the hustle and bustle of the bazaar were all turned into clouds of smoke under the hooves of Shu'er riding alone at night.

But no matter how fast the horses run, they can't throw away the past, and no matter how dark the night is, it can't hide the gorgeous scenes in her mind—

From the Xiling of Shu Kingdom, to the Golden Beach of the East China Sea, and then to the mechanisms in the ancient tomb of King Zhou...... Liu Ying, there is no Wuyi Sword, Qiushui Sword, and Xuanyan Sword that you taught me...... I may not live to live today, not to live to live to be separated from you today.

Don't ask me why I'm leaving you.

I know who you should avenge your mother-killing revenge, but I avoid saying it. I am not worthy to be your wife, nor to be your father's daughter-in-law.

There is no grass at the end of the world. I was covered with scars, and the soles of my feet were branded with the mark of "Song Prisoner". You are the material of the emperor, and you will always meet other women in the future, who are better and more beautiful than me.

Riding alone all the way, hearing the rooster crowing in the early morning, Shu'er has come to Poplar City on the border of Zhao Wei.

In the past, it was even more difficult to enter Zhao from the Song Kingdom. Because the state of Zhao was located between the two countries of Chen and Song, and the two countries of Chen and Song had a feud, the state of Zhao was strictly guarded, for fear that the Song people would enter Chen through the state of Zhao. However, at this time, Jing'an County of the Song State had been returned to the Wei State, and although the Zhao State had not yet negotiated with the restored Wei State, it was unwilling to avoid it as the Song people. What's more, Shu'er revealed her identity and said to Zhao Guo's guard: "I am the leader of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce appointed by King Zhao, Yan Shu. Through Zhao Guo, he only wants to enter the Chen realm, and he also wants to be accommodating. ”

The guards of Zhao asked the generals who were defending the city, and the generals who were defending the city heard that it was the leader of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce who had not received the reward, so they personally welcomed Shu'er into the city. Although he heard that this woman was General Yan of Qi State and the wife of the leader of the Restoration Alliance, he still called him the "Boss Yan" of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, and said respectfully: "Boss Yan is coming to the country, presumably our king is also very welcome, how dare his subordinates stop him?" ”

Shu'er thanked the general who defended the city, and asked him about the way to Chen Guo, and then galloped away, crossed the Zhao State Pastoral in Pingchuan, and arrived outside Pingliang City in two days.

It's a pity that after dark, Pingliang closed the city gate, and I am afraid that only King Zhao himself can break the rule of "closing the city gate at night" in Zhao for a hundred years.

Shu'er had no choice but to ride on a horse and wander around the fields outside the city, looking for a farmhouse to spend the night.

She finally saw that there was a small farm yard not far away with the lights still on, so she rode slowly over, for fear of disturbing the master.

When she got closer, she dismounted and walked, only to hear a few barks of dogs in the courtyard. She stepped forward and lightly knocked on the courtyard door and said, "The little girl walked alone to Pingliang, but unexpectedly, after nightfall, the city gate was closed, can I stay here?" Late at night, willing to pay money. ”

After a while, a crack opened in the courtyard door, and the old woman in the courtyard actually said in the native accent of Chen Guofanjing: "It's so late, and there is only one girl?" ”

Shu'er immediately replied in a Chen State accent: "The little girl is indeed only one person and one horse, and she will enter Pingliang City tomorrow, and go all the way to the west, and then she can return to Chen Guo." ”

Su Rui opened the courtyard door, picked up the lamp and looked at the little girl in front of her, and saw that she was dressed in Zhao Guo clothes, leading a thin horse, and looked a little tired, so she led her into the hospital and said: "Our small farm yard is not big, there is only a small firewood room for the girl to stay together, I wonder if the girl is still willing to live?" ”

Another old woman came out of the house when she heard the sound, but she spoke in Song Mandarin, looked at Shu'er curiously, and asked, "It's so late, why is the girl looking for a place to live outside?" ”

Shu'er was amazed that there was an old woman from Chen and an old woman from Song living in the small courtyard of Zhao State's farmhouse, and couldn't help but reply in a Song State accent: "Little girl...... My surname is Lin, just a traveler who has traveled around the world, and I hope that my two mothers-in-law can take me in here for a night. ”

Tingfang subconsciously turned his head to look inside the house. Shu'er followed her gaze and looked at the room where the lights were not stopped, and saw that the outline of a woman by the window was very clear, the woman nodded, and Tingfang said to Shu'er: "My master agreed, you can stay here for the night." ”

Shu'er bowed to the woman by the window and said, "Thank you, madam! Then he took out a small piece of broken silver from his sleeve, handed it to Tingfang, and said, "This is an apology gift for the little girl to bother late at night, and I hope the two mothers-in-law will accept it." ”

The woman by the window walked back to the house, Tingfang hadn't rejected Shu'er's broken silver, only to see Su Rui take the silver, smiled and pulled Shu'er to the firewood room, and said, "Girl, although the firewood room is a little shabby, it is clean, and it is not cold to burn a brazier." We'll clean up for you, and you'll rest early. ”

Tingfang helplessly glanced at Su Rui, who saw Qian Eye, but knew that she was Aunt Su of Fanjing Dance Workshop back then, if she didn't see Qian Eye, how could she cultivate the first dancer in Fanjing that year? Tingfang smiled lightly, thinking to herself, she was just a maid of the Song Palace, and she really had no concept of the way of management.

Tingfang brought a pot of hot tea, a basin of hot water and a clean handkerchief, and said to Shu'er, "Girl, rest early." Tomorrow morning, before the girl leaves, she can have a rough meal from the farm. ”

Shu'er felt that although the two peasant mothers-in-law were dressed plainly, one was more shrewd and neat than the other, unlike ordinary farmers, but they couldn't manage so much. After drinking hot tea and wiping her face with hot water, she lay down on the haystack and fell asleep alone.

She thought that before returning to Chu State, she should go to Chen State first, say goodbye to Aunt Yan and Aunt Song in person, and plan the industries of the Yan family and the Su family properly.
