Chapter VII

Although Zhong Zhiyu didn't want to admit it, she did escape from Beiyi.

I still remember that when she first arrived in Beiyi, although she did not have the humiliation on her face, she always endured the contempt or hatred of the Beiyi people, but in just half a year, her edge was polished completely.

It's just that one person is different.

The boy who invited her to play in the snow in her dream always had such a pure smile.

Zhong Zhiyu no longer remembered how she replied that day, but remembered that it was the happiest time she laughed in Beiyi, and when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, he said to himself seriously: "Why don't you like to talk now?" I remember when you first arrived, you were very energetic, like a little sun. I don't like the way you look. ”

The wind blew and the snow fell, and Zhong Zhuoyu's eyes were moist, this was the first kindness she received in Beiyi.

"What's your name?" Xiao Shuyu asked.

"I..." The young man in front of him hesitated a little, and then said after a moment: "I can tell you, but you can't tell others that I came to play with you." ”

Although Xiao Xiaoyu was disappointed, he also knew that his identity was sensitive, so he readily agreed.

Then she learned that the young man's name was Bei Chuan.

During that time, Bei Chuan often sneaked out to play with her behind people's backs.

He taught her the Beiyi language, so she learned that Bei Chuan is the name of the largest river in Beiyi, which has blessed the Beiyi people for generations; He taught her to know horses and train horses, he said that Beiyi is a horse nation, and Beiyi people are born to be good at raising horses; He taught her to be driven down, saying that she would definitely be able to use it as the lord of the county......

He also took her to see the river called "Bei Chuan". The water ripples slightly, only the undercurrent at the bottom of the river surges, and it is unfathomable.

Bei Chuan swore at it, saying that when he grew up, he would definitely lead the Beiyi people to live a hundred or a thousand times better life than now!

Although there is some speculation about the identity of this young man wearing mink and fur on weekdays, only this time did Zhong Zhiyu confirm his identity - it must be the prince of Beiyi.

It's just that Zhong Zhiyu didn't expect that Bei Chuan's identity was something she had never guessed.

The New Year's Grassland Royal Court is decorated with lights, although there is no exquisite luxury of Dayu, but there is a "great ingenuity" that Dayu can't learn no matter how much he learns.

Xiao Shuyu was invited to a dinner party in the royal court as a guest, and then she met a different Bei Chuan.

It's still the same face, but with more than a dozen thin braids, a small hat made of unknown animal skins on his head, smearing his eyebrows with lipstick, and happily stepping on the beat with the dancing girl.

"Princess Beichuan, I'm a year older."

Zhong Xiyu heard someone call her like this.

If Zhong Zhuyu encounters this kind of thing now, he will only smile and scold a few words without moving, but Xiao Zhuyu, who is only 13 years old, is dominated by a sense of betrayal of being deceived, so her brain is hot, so she grabbed Bei Chuan's hand in front of everyone, and asked word by word: "You are Bei Chuan... Princess? ”

This one was really sudden, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Zhong Zhiyu's body, and even the dancing girl stopped dancing, not knowing what to do.

King Beiyi stared at Zhong Zhuoyu with a frown, as if he was thinking about which noble girl she was, and when he remembered it in the corner of his memory, he said disdainfully: "Who did I say, it was the county lord of the Great Yu Kingdom." What, what is the opinion of the county lord on the princess of my steppe? ”

Xiao Yuyu pursed her lips, and when she calmed down, she realized that her behavior was really inappropriate. Zhegui, who came with him, had already knelt down and kowtowed to the king of Beiyi, saying the county lord's ignorant words of begging for mercy.

She looked at Bei Chuan, who thought she would be angry, but at this time, her face was empty, and her eyes were full of supplication.

Yes, Xiao Jianyu remembered that when she first met Princess Bei Chuan, she said that she couldn't let others know.

Looking at the sneering or indifferent gazes of the leaders of the surrounding steppe tribes, Xiao Yuyu hurriedly thought about countermeasures.

"Back to the king, Zhuyu only saw that the princess looked quite like the goddess of our hometown, so she lost her temper. Don't blame the king. ”

"Goddess?" This statement obviously diverted the attention of the Beiyi King from his own disrespect.

"Yes, goddess." Xiao Jianyu put down Bei Chuan's hand, stabilized his mind and made up nonsense: "My hometown is near the sea, and the people rely on going to sea to fish for a living, and legend has it that this goddess is to bless the people to go to sea safely and smoothly, so the people will worship the goddess before going to sea." When I was a child, I saw it in the temple, Princess Bei Chuan looked very similar to the goddess in front of her, and I thought it was the goddess who had descended to earth. ”

"Hahahaha." This remark really made King Beiyi happy: "My Bei Chuan is naturally not a mortal thing, it is very noble!" ”

The leaders of the tribe below raised the big bowls of wine one after another, whether they believed it or not, anyway, the king of the grassland believed it and they would be happy: "Princess Beichuan goddess descends to earth, God bless me grassland!" ”

Zhong Shuyu, who was finally confused, quietly walked back to his small corner that was not noticed, and sweated for his recklessness just now.

In fact, if the matter is explained just now, the anger of the king of Beiyi will definitely burn to Bei Chuan, and he can take the opportunity to get out, but Bei Chuan is the biological daughter of the king of Beiyi after all, this anger must be a small fight, and he doesn't know how many days he will survive in Beiyi, if he offends Bei Chuan because of this, his life may be even more sad, so it is better to sell it to Bei Chuan.

A full meal is still full, Zhong Zhiyu is still clear.

It turned out that this decision was done right, and early the next morning, Zhong Zhiyu received the order to move: Princess Bei Chuan and the county lord hit it off at first sight, and the king asked Zhong Zhiyu to be her playmate.

Since then, Zhong Zhiyu's quality of life has skyrocketed, and because Princess Bei Chuan likes her unscrupulous and heartless appearance, she has become like this, firmly grasping this her only reliance in Beiyi.

If there is friendship, there must be, but after that dinner, this friendship is not destined to be as pure as before.

Just when Zhong Zhiyu was living an endless life in the grassland royal court, the turning point appeared suddenly.

About three months ago, the small nomadic tribes in the north of Beiyi were attacked, their cattle, sheep and horses were looted, and the killed Beiyi people were torn apart, and the entire nomadic team was left with only severed limbs overnight.

The king of Beiyi was furious and sent an army to the north, but he did not even return to deliver the news. So the grassland royal court cautiously sent a light cavalry to inquire about the news, but a week later, only one seriously wounded soldier returned with the news: the Xirong army was pressing.

The war immediately began, and all the grassland tribes were ready to defend the grassland, and in the past two months, they have suffered countless casualties, barely holding the grassland on the left side of Beiyi.

Zhong Zhiyu's escape was at this time.

The Prairie Court was arguing over which tribe to send in the next battle, and no one noticed her, a "guest" who had nothing to do with the battle.

So she Ling Chunhe secretly bought a horse, and tried her best to get the map of Beiyi from Princess Bei Chuan, and chose a dark and windy night to turn out of the grassland royal court.

She thought very well, now that Beiyi and Xirong are already in a state of exhaustion, they don't have the energy to pursue their escape with Dayu, and... Zhong Zhuyu felt that the journey was incredibly smooth, and he knew that it was Princess Bei Chuan who had done it for herself in advance.

Maybe he was already aware of his intentions when he knocked on the map she asked for Beiyi. Zhong Zhiyu covered his face and smiled, if it weren't for the different positions of the two, maybe they could really be very good friends.

Then he relied on selling the jewelry on his body all the way, and walked for two whole months before returning to the palace - it was also at this time that Chunhe had the problem of fainting horses.

Thinking of Chunhe, Zhong Zhiyu was a little strange, it was already dawn at this time, why did Chunhe still call himself to get up?

"Haruha?"

The door creaked open, and it was not Chunhe who came in, but Twilight.

"County Lord, it is the slave who is waiting for you today." Twilight said in an unheaving tone.

“…… Good. ”

Zhong Zhiyu didn't know what to say for a while, and Twilight probably waited outside the door for a long time to get up, unlike Chunhe, who felt that the hour was almost up and would come to call him.

Twilight's character is really... That's great!

Zhong Zhiyu finished washing up, Meizizi finished breakfast, pinched his fingers and calculated that everything was suitable for today, so he took Duyun and the others to the firewood room where the man was being held.

With Twilight Cloud's set of skills as a secret guard, but in a quarter of an hour, the man confessed, so Zhong Shuyu took the group to his "school" with a majestic spirit.

"Liu, what else do you have to say?" Zhong Shuyu sat at the table and calmed down.

Although the second aunt was also forced to be calm, she seemed to cower when compared with Zhong Shuyu: "Is the county lord going to condemn me because of the confession of a man of unknown origin?" ”

"Where's Auntie?" Zhong Xiyu showed a smile: "So I'm not here to ask my aunt, if my aunt can come up with evidence to prove that it's not you, then this confession will naturally not be counted." ”

"This ......" the second aunt's eyes wandered around, trying to find some evidence from her maid.

"Auntie, can't you take it out?" Zhong Shuyu made a very kind look: "The county lord will show you the direction." The man said that it was Xiaoyun beside his aunt who found him. ”

"Impossible!" Xiaoyun screamed: "It's obviously Xiao Pity! ”

"Oh~ It turned out to be a little pity" Zhong Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and said to Dusk Yun and the others: "Look, you have to learn from others, and don't be the pig teammate of the county lord in the future." ”

"Whoa." Twilight and the others responded in unison.

"What else do you have to say, auntie?"

The second aunt's face was pale, with a sense of despair: "Even so, you can't deal with me." I'm your father's roommate, and you're a junior. ”

"One of the manifestations of a bad human brain is a poor memory, you forgot what I said last time? I am the lord of the county, and you are a slave. ”

"Oh yes, let me tell you, that guy didn't really do anything. After all... He really didn't know anything. ”
