These days, the border between Yu and Yan is still chaotic.

After the great victory of the Xiyan Kingdom, the two armies were in a stalemate for several days at the Huangshaling at the border junction, and finally in the case of not daring to fight hard, the Beiyu side proposed that "peace is precious", and wanted to dedicate one of their princesses to the emperor of the Xiyan Kingdom in the name of peace, and the two sides made a truce.

This "sending the princess to make peace" is a delaying tactic. It takes more than ten days from Yuwang Capital Xiangyun City to Mozhou City, which is adjacent to Huangshaling on the border. Who knows what moths will come out of Yuguo in the past ten days?

And the task assigned to the novice dead soldier of the Xiyan Kingdom is to infiltrate the path that the envoy of the Yu Kingdom must pass, control the princess and the envoy in advance, take the situation into his own hands, and kill the other party if necessary.

Ding Ruoyu followed closely behind Yu Feiqiong, seeing that his expression was uncertain, he didn't know what to say for a while.

When the two came to a secluded place, she finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "...... is the princess Jingshan who was sent?"

"It's my sister, the sister of a fellow mother......" Yu Feiqiong sat slumped on the ground, suddenly grabbed Ding Ruoyu's hands, trembling all over, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

Ding Ruoyu smiled at him to appease, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, there will always be a way." ”

Yu Feiqiong's helplessness and hatred, she empathizes. She had also lost loved ones, but this time, she had to find a way to prevent it from happening.

The teenagers get together and discuss how to catch each other off guard. Ding Ruoyu has always been silent, listening to them getting farther and farther away, but a ghostly light suddenly flashed in his dark eyes.

She has a way that is not a way: find Princess Jingshan in advance, explain the reason, and exchange identities with her.

Ding Ruoyu quietly returned to his bunk, and lay down in his clothes, his heart like lightning. She looked at Yu Feiqiong in the other corner of the room from afar, with a hint of sadness on her elegant face.

But when he noticed it, she smiled lightly again, silently reassuring him.

Not long after, Nangong Yi entered the camp tent.

"Early tomorrow morning, Princess Jingshan will set off to Mozhou, and we will also arrange for someone to go to investigate and blend in with the accompanying attendants. Calculate the itinerary, you can almost meet in Qingtan, who wants to take over this errand? His cold gaze swept over the young dead soldiers lying on the ground in the tent.

"Me." Yu Feiqiong hurriedly jumped up.

"You?" Nangong Yi sneered. He has been following Hong for a long time, and this time he led the young dead soldiers to fight, and he knew Yu Feiqiong well. Of course, it was impossible to agree to him at this moment.

The two argued, and the teenagers were anxious, but no one dared to come forward to persuade them.

"Director Nangong, I'll go." Seeing that they couldn't hold each other, Ding Ruoyu got up and walked to their side and said lightly.

The teenagers were stunned.

This is not a good errand, if it is discovered, it is very likely that it will be hacked to death by Princess Jingshan's guards.

Nangong Yi seemed to have expected her to be like this, nodded with a cold gaze, and ignored Yu Feiqiong's stunned demeanor, explaining the tasks and precautions of the rest of the people.

Ding Ruoyu walked out of the tent with an expressionless face, and the moonlight made her gentle face lose her fireworks more and more.

After the meeting ended, Yu Feiqiong also rushed out in a hurry, found her by the city gate, and blamed herself.

Ding Ruoyu just looked at him and smiled, he found out for the first time that she was such a good-looking girl, with delicate facial features, although she was wearing training clothes that even men and women couldn't see, her temperament was still as elegant as a noble princess.

"Don't blame yourself. As I said, I can do anything for you. Her voice was always so soft and soft, that his young and impulsive heart was calmed at once.

"Qiao'er......" Yu Feiqiong walked towards her, wanting to reach out and hug her, but she was afraid of blaspheming her.

"Qiao'er, I told you my story, and I never knew about you." He couldn't help but lower his voice.

Ding Ruoyu looked up at the distant moon, the soft expression on his face suddenly faded, and he became as indifferent as a jade statue: "My surname is Li, Jiang Guoren, and my living relatives only have a distant cousin. ”

She is mechanical, as if she is reciting a book, and there is no emotion to speak of.

"Jiang Guo Li's family?" Yu Feiqiong was stunned. But after thinking about it, Li is a big surname in Jiang Guo, and it may not have anything to do with that family.

Ding Ruoyu had already recovered his previous gentle demeanor, looked at him and asked with a light smile, "What were you sent by Nangong to do?" ”

"It's not you! Nangong recalled that another arrangement would be made. Yu Feiqiong saw her smile, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose, pretending to be angry.

In the distance, the smoke and dust rolled and the sound of approaching horses' hooves sounded.

First of all were two high-ranking members of the Witch Cult, wrapped in a red cloak, one of them with an ordinary appearance, and the other with a bronze mask. After the two, eight guards surrounded a carriage and gradually approached.

The horse's hooves were so fast that they stopped outside the big tent in a short time.

Inside the tent, Tian Bei rushed over with a reluctant inch, and shouted at the two of them: "Don't spend the moon before you and me!" I just heard the good news, the general altar of the witch sect has sent a master to sit in the town, and this mission is absolutely foolproof! ”

His voice was so loud that the other teenagers also poked their heads out and asked, "Master?" What master? Can you not sell it! ”

"Do you know the four protectors?" Tian Bei said mysteriously, "The person who came is the fire protector!" ”

When the teenagers heard the words "Fire Protector", they couldn't help but cheer. Yan Guo was willing to let Mu Huo, the first witchcraft among the four protectors, to sit in the defense line, and he was determined to take the border city of Yu Kingdom. With the ability to bathe in fire, it can easily crush the enemy army.

Two maroon horses stopped outside the tent, and the visitors took off their red cloaks.

The teenagers were still whispering about who Mu Huo was, and Nangong Yi had already said to the tall and thin man with an ordinary appearance: "Please protect the Fa." ”

Another man in a bronze mask had one arm still on his horse's back, but his gaze swept over all the teenagers, as if to observe them closely.

The moment their eyes met, unspeakable fear surged in Ding Ruoyu's heart. This fear came suddenly and inexplicably, just like the moment when I saw Li Yun's face clearly for the first time when I was a child.

She snorted.

The bronze mask didn't say a word, and after a moment's pause, he turned and stepped into the tent.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Ding Ruoyu's heart was completely messed up, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.

As if summoned somehow, she quietly left the camp, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and making her way to the largest tent.

Suddenly a man came out of the tent, pulled her tightly, and led her up to the watchtower.

The lights were dim, and the man was dressed in plain clothes, and he reached out and took off the bronze mask.

Ding Ruoyu grabbed the wooden railing on the side, and his nails were embedded in it.

"Sure enough, it's you ......" It took a long time for her to stabilize her mind.

Many years have passed, Li Yun's appearance has not changed much, and it is still so perfect that it is sighing.

"There are other people arranged over there in Jingshan, you can learn some witchcraft from me these days, just in case you need it." Li Yun said lightly, but people cannot be disobeyed.

"I can do the princess's business." Ding Ruoyu forced himself to refute, there were no fierce words, but his eyes were firm, these two brothers and sisters who were not related by blood, looked like a full temperament.

Li Yun smiled, and under the warm yellow light, his smile was more charming and ambiguous.

"For your ...... Little lover? ”

Ding Ruoyu panicked, she stared at his peach blossom eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and blurted out before she could think about it: "You are Lihong!" ”

Her tone was extremely affirmative.

"It seems that the unbehaving boy told you about me." Li Yun rubbed her hair and said nonchalantly, "You are still young, and emotional matters are not as sweet as you think." ”

"What if I have to go to Qingtan?" The firmness in her eyes turned to stubbornness.

"To tell you the truth, it's useless to go." Li Yun's expression was still as calm as a pool of water, and he said slowly, "What Yuguo sent is not Jingshan at all, it's just a stand-in." This disturbance of harmony is just a warning to them. ”

Ding Ruoyu will be skeptical.

"The person I arranged is your good sister Chen Lan." He said again.

Ding Ruoyu grabbed his collar in surprise, and there was anger in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"I know everything about you." Li Yun's smile was gentle and kind, but it made her tremble.

After that, Li Yun grabbed her thin shoulders and walked towards the tent without hurrying.

Yu Feiqiong had already found out that Ding Ruoyu had gone out.

He didn't follow, but stood by the tent, watching from afar as she was held tightly in the arms of another man, and entered the largest tent.

He only saw the side face of the man.

The man held a bronze mask in his spare hand, and his bun was fixed by a white magnolia hairpin, and his side face was as noble and sacred as an immortal king.

Yu Feiqiong's teeth were clenched, her eyes were cracked, and she couldn't wait to die on the spot.

When he made up his mind to break into the big tent, Ding Ruoyu was not inside, and the bronze mask disappeared, only Mu Huo, who looked like a wood, and a girl he didn't know.

The girl was lively and cute, and when she saw him rushing in, she even jumped up and ran to him to introduce herself: "My name is Chen Lan, what about you?" You're so good-looking! ”

Yu Feiqiong didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked back with a gloomy face.

Five days later, as soon as a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky, in the forest and beside the path, the young dead man who had already been ambushed to carry out this mission. From time to time, the wind blows, causing the branches in the forest to sway, and the faces of the teenagers are also flickering and dark.

Taking advantage of the morning mist that had not yet dissipated, Chen Lan rode his horse along the road that Yuguo's family team must pass, probing around, and finally found the spacious, clean but inconspicuous remote inn where Princess Yuguo was hiding.

She had changed into a dark burlap shirt, her hair was tied up, and her little face was dirty, and she looked like a mischievous peasant boy who had not grown up.

"Go, go, where did the little one come from, called Hanako, go to another house to beg for food!" The shopkeeper was throwing sundries, and when he turned around, he saw her wandering at the door, and hurriedly scolded loudly.

Chen Lan saw that his face was full of ferocity, so he lowered his head and turned around to hide. She got to a street corner, thinking that it was not the right thing to do. She didn't have enough silver taels on her body to buy a decent coat, so she had to find a corner with a sad face and sit quietly, waiting for it to get dark before acting.

It didn't take long for a man in green clothes wearing Mu Li to suddenly walk out of the crowded bazaar, and he actually strode towards Chen Lan's hiding place.

Chen Lan half-squatted in the corner, and when she looked up slightly, she could see that the man's snow-white Mu Li was still wearing a bronze mask.

She frowned, remembering that she had said a word or two to him in the fire tent a few days ago, and she had seen Ding Ruoyu, but she never knew who he was. At this moment, he came to Chen Lan, put the package on his back into her arms, leaned over and whispered: "Find a place where no one is there to change into, this is the clothes of the accompanying palace maid." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Chen Lan hurriedly took it, and without asking him how he got it, he got up and slipped through the back wall into the backyard of an empty house at the end of the street.

In the dilapidated house covered with cobwebs, she hurriedly changed into the clothes of the palace maid and pushed the door out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the man in Tsing Yi waiting in the courtyard, Mu Li had already been removed, and he laughed when he saw her.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not dressed correctly? Chen Lan was puzzled.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled: "You are dressed correctly, but you forgot to comb your hair." ”

Chen Lan was embarrassed, covered her face and said, "How do I know how to comb the hair buns of those palace maids of them." ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled lightly: "If Miss Chen doesn't mind......

"Don't mind, you come!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Lan had already turned around and reached out to pick the gray cloth strap that bound his hair.

The man in Tsing Yi stroked her long unkempt hair, shook his head and said, "It's too dirty, go wash it first." ”

Chen Lan glared at him, lifted the hem of her skirt and went into the house without saying a word.

After more than half an hour, she finally came out, and the man in Tsing Yi said impatiently: "How dirty are you?" Washed for so long. ”

"The Dead Soldiers Battalion is busy practicing every day, where is the time to do these things!" Chen Lan rolled her eyes and said.

The man in Tsing Yi twisted the water droplets on her hair, Chen Lan felt the temperature on his hands be hot, and it didn't take long for the long wet hair to completely dry in his hands.

"You're a wizard of the Witch Cult?" She wondered.

"I'm a witch, not a wizard." The man in Tsing Yi said, his flexible ten fingers fluttering on her hair, and she soon tied it into a delicate bun.

Chen Lan reached out and touched the top of her head, and said with a smile: "Are you a friend of Mu Huo?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi said slowly: "Yes." ”

Chen Lan stared at him and said strangely, "Did Mu Huo ask you to come?" ”

"Is it his turn to let me come?" The dark eyes of the man in Tsing Yi under his mask were so dim that they couldn't reflect a trace of luster at the moment.

Chen Lan was startled when she saw him like this, and vaguely felt as if she had said something wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. She hung her head, played with her sleeves, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know you again......"
