Lin Qingjuan, the princess's daughter, announced the heart.

Announcements in the capital were posted all over the streets, and the hidden guards Su didn't know which of his companions were in the capital, and I didn't know how many hidden guards in the capital Tu Ling had notified this time, almost overnight, everyone in the capital was talking about General Wu's wife.

Yin Wei Su and his wife Qiu Niang went to the street to buy groceries, and they saw notices plastered all over the storefront.

"Husband, are you hiding something from me?"

When Yin Wei Su heard Qiu Niang ask, she naturally pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Yo, did the lady find out that I just peeked at the proprietress of the spice seller?" ”

Qiu Niang hammered him hard, "Did you take on any work that I don't know?" ”

"No, why did the lady say that?" Yin Wei Su looked at this wife who got along day and night, her eyes were extremely bright, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

"You were strange last night, I saw you go out before dawn today, although I hope that you can earn more money to support our family, but I don't want you to do those shady things."

Qiu Niang held Yin Wei Su's hand, her sincere eyes made Yin Wei Su a little stunned, she had been a husband and wife with her for many years, and she had always hidden her identity from her, but Yin Wei Su also had a little more truth in her heart at this time.

"I took a job and went to transport unsightly goods for others, and I promise that this time, I won't worry about the lady in the future."

Yin Wei Su grabbed Qiu Niang's shoulder, although she only filled in another lie with one lie, but obviously Qiu Niang believed it well.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, Yin Wei Su saw a yellow wind horse in the imperial city galloping towards the outside of the city like lightning, and the guard on that horse was exactly the one he knew!

They had also been trained in the same secret prison back then, and now he had received an errand in the palace?

Qiu Niang saw that Yin Wei Su had been restless today, and couldn't help but pull his sleeve, "If Husband has something on his mind today, let's go home and don't join in the fun outside." ”

The people in the teahouse are also vividly recounting the story of how the king of Zhennan used his daughter to seize the throne. Yin Wei Su couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

And in the military camp thousands of miles away, Qingwan didn't know anything about this murderous disaster.

The morning training was over, and the sergeants continued to strengthen the walls as planned, leaving the wounded and sick to recuperate, while the rest went hunting in the mountains and forests in the afternoon to replenish the army's rations.

After noon, the sun was getting bigger, Qingwan wanted to go to the camp with Wu Wen, but he didn't expect his body to be a little weak, and he was really physically exhausted, so he had to stay in the military tent and wait for Wu Wen to come back.

was about to take a nap, but Qingwan heard the messenger outside the tent coming to report.

"Madam, General Rong Chen, oh no, the spy Rong Chen wants to see you."

Qingwan suddenly fell asleep, Wu Wen went to patrol the camp, she went to the cell alone to see a prisoner in custody, it was indeed a bad reputation when it was rumored, but she still wanted to see Rong Chen.

Two sergeants escorted her to the prison. The weather is getting colder and colder, especially in a place like the prison, which does not see the light of day, and I didn't feel so damp here when I came two days ago, but today I feel that the joints of my whole body are a little cold and soft.

Walking to the prison, Qingwan took the two soldiers who escorted him, took a meadow and sat down outside the prison.

"I heard, you want to see me?"

"Yes."

Rong Chen raised his head, his once bright eyes were now dim and colorless, it seemed that the guards in the prison had indeed taken good care of this spy in the past two days.

Qingwan smiled slightly, looked at this former companion, and sighed with some emotion in her heart, "It's really surprising that you would take the initiative to find me." ”

Rong Chen smiled, his dry lips cracked a few times in a second, and blood flowed out of the cracks in his lips.

"Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Qingwan watched the faint candle flame in the dark prison flicker and flicker, just like Rong Chen, who was now unclear.

"No, I can't worry about you. If you continue to be with Wu Wen, you will not only bring disaster to him, but even lead to death. ”

When Rong Chen said this, his serious appearance was the same as that of Wu Wen, Qing Juan knew that he had experienced a lot of disasters since he married Wu Wen, but no matter what kind of difficulties it was, the husband and wife had survived, and now that the war was over, they would soon be able to return to their hometown to live a peaceful life, Rong Chen's words made her not understand.

"Why? Am I a scourge in your eyes? ”

Qingwan carefully pondered the purpose of Rong Chen's conversation with her, whether he wanted to escape from her mouth, or did he want to rebel against her and let her and Wu Wen separate from each other to facilitate the enemy's attack?

Rong Chen sighed earnestly like an old friend of Qingwan, "Madam, you are too sharp, and the two generals of your family are now hot, so it will eventually lead to trouble." You'd better kill me quickly, or you'll regret it. ”

"Why?"

"Your emperor needs my death to prove General Wu's merits. The king of Zhennan also needs my death to appease the army. If you don't kill me, you will be shielding the rebels and setting yourself on fire, and outside you will be torturing the captives and notorious. ”

Qingwan didn't expect Rong Chen to come up with such a set of arguments in order to beg for death, she said with a smile: "Do you know that your father-in-law didn't care about your life and death after you were ambushed, and you still want to sacrifice your life for him?" Do you think he will remember the virtues of one of your righteous sons? A biological daughter like mine is just a pawn of his. ”

This sentence made Rong Chen's pupils, who had always been calm and calm, dilated, and he even suspected that he had heard the wrong words, Lin Qingwan in front of him was the prince's biological daughter!

"You don't want to lie to me, the prince's daughter is only the county lord who grew up with me!"

Qingwan looked at Rong Chen's shocked face and said: "My face is evidence, the king of Zhennan is ruthless and unjust, using his own daughter, the crime is notorious, and it is difficult to write." ”

It wasn't until Qingwan's reminder that Rong Chen noticed that Qingwan's eyebrows were indeed similar to those of the county lord, and it was not far-fetched to say that they were sisters.

Seeing that Rong Chen had been shaken, Qingwan continued: "King Zhennan had a private meeting with me yesterday and asked me to lead an army to rebel, so that I could turn against my husband for the sake of the future princess. Why don't you want to think about why he didn't rescue you and let you continue to serve him for the position of prince and prince? ”

Rong Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at Qingwan's face similar to that of the county lord, tears welled up in his eyes. For many years, Xiaoyi was used in vain, and he, a spy, was already in the abyss, and no one on either side would use him anymore.

"I, Rongchen, am a person who values love and righteousness, and whoever is kind to me, I will repay him. If you are willing to give me a new identity, from now on, I Rongchen will be the dead soldier of you and General Wu. ”

Qingwan smiled, but heard hurried footsteps, it was the guard of his henchman, who had followed her husband for many years.

"The emperor's holy decree is to give death to the wife of General Weiyuan, the Murin family."

It was already approaching dusk, the road in the woods was not easy to walk, the speed of the horses slowed down, and the evening breeze came slowly, carrying the dull smell of decay peculiar to winter.

Such a calm voice, as if it had not been heard for a long time, Qingwan slowly opened her eyes, and the hazy world gradually became clear.

Where is she?

The leaves in the woods were yellow, but most of them still hadn't fallen yet, as if the woods had changed into winter clothes, and there was no sense of decay.

"Are you awake?"

Rong Chen breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Qingjuan, who was lying on horseback, finally slowly lifted his body, and the heart he had been hanging on finally let go.

Qingwan raised her body with her forehead and saw the inconspicuous village in the distance, "Where is this?" ”

Finally, when Qingwan woke up, Rong Chen finally dared to speed up his horse and continue to hurry.

"This is where I lived when I was a kid."

Childhood? Could it be that Rong Chen took her to the realm of King Zhennan and wanted to take her back to record her merits and reward?

Seeing the surprise flashing in Qingwan's eyes, Rong Chen smiled, "No, it's the village I lived in when I was a beggar when I was a child. ”

This place is indeed remote, and it is not close to the mountains or water, so it can be said that it is the boundary of the territory of the vassal kings, and the hidden guards are all borders, so there is no one to govern them.

"This place is not suitable for human life at all, if it is not a last resort, who wants to live here?"

Within a stick of incense, Rong Chen took Qingwan to the entrance of the village, although it was already evening, there was no cooking smoke at home, it was really a lifeless village.

"Let's walk in."

The two of them led the horse and walked inside, Qingwan couldn't help but tighten her shoulders, the grandmother on the road looked at the two of them as if she was looking at some evil spirit, and all the other people who were busy at home also stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them directly.

Rong Chen didn't seem to see the strange reactions of these people, walked straight inside, walked under a towering old tree, and suddenly knelt down with a "poof".

"Get down on your knees!"

Rong Chen pulled Qingwan's clothes and almost pulled her to the ground. Qingwan knelt on the ground and learned to look like Rong Chen, lying on the ground, still chanting words in her mouth.

These closed villages have always excluded people with foreign surnames, and they almost see people outside the village as beasts, but the only way to test their loyalty is by customs and habits.

"What are we doing here?"

Qingwan asked quietly while lying on the ground.

"Sacrifice to ancient trees. The superstitious ancient trees in this village bless their lives, so they have to sacrifice the ancient trees with human blood to be blessed by the ancient trees, so that they can survive in this place. ”

What the?

A question mark just popped up in Qingjuan's mind, and the next second, Rong Chen stabbed his own wrist with a dagger, dripping two drops of blood in the soil, and rubbed the blood on the blade on Qingwan's wrist by the way.
