After staying in Fengxian County for a few days, Du Ruo and his mother Du Ruoxi were intimate all day long, which made me very envious.

It was warm, and I sat in the yard and basked in the sun. While envying the mother and daughter of the Du family choosing wild vegetables on the side, they miss the days when they and their father listened to books.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is homesick, right? People are like this, after wandering for a long time, they think they are used to it, and once their loved ones appear, the hidden thoughts immediately burst out. Ziyu comforted me beside me: "But when we arrive in the Crescent Moon Country, Her Royal Highness the Princess enters the palace, there will soon be new relatives." ”

I sighed and said sourly: "No matter how deep the affection is, there is no blood relative." ”

"That's not necessarily, if you meet your sweetheart, it's very likely that you will forget about your family." Ziyu smiled: "Otherwise, how could there be so many young men and women eloping in the world?" Love is such a thing, no one can say for sure. ”

Listening to her talk about this, I seemed to have a certain understanding, I was about to ask her, but after she said "help", I went over to choose dishes with Du Ruo's mother and daughter.

I rocked the couch, closed my eyes, and greedily enjoyed the spring sun. Let the warmth ripple from head to toe, and let the troubles have nowhere to escape in the sun.

Suddenly, the warmth that had been red was blocked by a black shadow.

"Your Royal Highness, I really like to bask in the sun."

I opened my eyes and responded with a smile, "What, are you going to tell me another paragraph?" ”

Sun Zhengpi smiled: "If the princess likes to listen to it, she will definitely tell it, and I have thought of the story." ”

"Oh, so what jokes have you prepared?"

"I have prepared books such as "Returning to Zhao after Completion" and "Su Wu Shepherd", I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess likes it?"

"Sun Zheng, you're here to guess the riddle for me again, right?" When he said these two passages, I immediately understood what he meant. "We're about to enter the new moon, and it's not interesting for Ye Liuyun to come back if he doesn't come back, so why bother?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Guard Ye is your guard, how can you count it as an extra move? What's more, because of the detour, it will be a long way to reach the Crescent Moon Country, and Ye Huwei's martial arts are strong, and with him, he will definitely be able to improve his protection. ”

"It seems that your relationship with him is really close, and I don't know what benefits he has given you, so you talk to him like this."

"Hehe, I've seen Ye Huwei's martial arts, and with him by my side, I always feel more down-to-earth."

"Ha, you're still a man, and you need someone else to protect you." I hesitated for a moment, but I still had some scruples. I am afraid of Ye Liuyun, and I am even more worried about my own heart.

"Let Ye Liuyun come to talk to me by himself, many things may be able to make a happy end."

Again, I warned myself.

Hearing that I was relieved, Sun Zheng hurriedly saluted, greeted Du Ruo, and ran out.

"Sun Zheng, you owe me a book!" I shouted at Sun Zheng's back, turned my head, and found Ziyu who was choosing vegetables on the side, looking at me with a relieved smile.

I hurriedly turned my head and continued to lean back in my chair, enjoying the warm sunbathing.

After dinner, it was a little dark, and Ye Liuyun knocked on the door to find me.

"Du Ruo, you and Li Da are guarding at the door, I have something to say to him."

Du Ruo saluted slightly, and after going out, he casually closed the door.

Ye Liuyun and I were silent for a while, and finally I used a very unfamiliar opening sentence.

"The beard is shaved, but it looks much fresher."

Ye Liuyun touched his chin and responded politely: "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Sun Zheng hopes that I will let you return to the team and walk all the way to the new moon, do you also hope so?"

"Yes." Ye Liuyun is still like this, saying whatever he wants. "I promised Her Royal Highness the princess, and I will never change."

"Then, the wood goes south, and it is difficult to find flowers. What exactly does this phrase mean? ”

"It's Hongmen's code word." Ye Liuyun didn't even think about it, and directly informed me of Hongmen's secret words, presumably to show me sincerity.

Ye Liuyun then said slowly: "It's just that those few people in black, I have never seen them, and I don't know what orders they received, in short, what I promised will definitely be completed, no matter who it is, I can't stop it." Over my dead body. ”

Hearing this, my heart was touched. I think that he has changed his initial trust in him, and he has always kept his promise.

I don't know if it's because I left home, but I feel more and more cautious about people's trust. Is this a sign of maturation, or am I losing something valuable?

"You don't have to be so full of words, I'm sure you can, but it's true that I'm afraid you'll end up in a dilemma." I was honest with him about my concerns. "I'm just afraid, one day Hongmen orders you to kill me, how will you choose?"

Ye Liuyun was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Although I belong to the Hongmen, I also have my own view of good and evil, if Her Royal Highness the Princess really commits an unforgivable sin, then, even if the Hongmen does not give an order, I may ......" Ye Liuyun said, and then the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a wicked smile. "Shoot at any time."

"Kill me?" I smiled back at him, "I hope you can really distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and if one day you really commit an unforgivable sin, I will not spare you easily." I stared at Ye Liuyun fixedly, and Ye Liuyun also frowned slightly, looking at me quietly.

The atmosphere became awkward again for a moment, and I coughed lightly.

"That, when did you find out about the Red Sleeve Village?" I shifted the topic to another focus. "Have you known each other for a long time?"

"If we had known each other earlier, I guess that operation would not have ended in failure." Ye Liuyun laughed at himself, and then said in a light tone: "The first time I met them, it was also thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Me? ”

Ye Liuyun nodded, "I wanted to help the princess get the account book as evidence, but I didn't want to meet the two little girls who were stealing the account book halfway, but fortunately, the owner of Du Zhuang appeared in time and informed them of their intentions, so I pushed the boat down the river and sold it for convenience." I didn't know that the princess actually asked me to return it again, and I was about to return the account book, but the owner of Du Zhuang reminded the Song family that the identity was suspicious, and Her Royal Highness the princess knew about the rest of the matter. ”

"It turns out that the Red Sleeves Village is the one who protects me all the way." I couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't the owner of Du Zhuang show up by herself, didn't she want to recognize her daughter?" I voluntarily gave you all the credit. ”

"It's not because of Gu Shaoqing, there was an accident on Gu Shaoqing's side at that time, involving the business trip of Yasukuni and Crescent Kingdom, he couldn't handle it, so he had to send someone to find his wife to solve it." Ye Liuyun smiled contemptuously, "Who knew that the owner of Du Zhuang actually had to collect evidence, and then he was willing to make a move, so he had no choice but to entrust Du Ruoqing, who looked similar, as a puppet, to control the Red Sleeve Village and kill all those who opposed him." ”

"Alas, counting it up, the organization of Red Sleeves Village can be regarded as being used by others and doing some illegal things." I couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the princess, I've checked, and there are few people who have been wronged." Ye Liuyun explained on the side: "The imperial court has the laws of the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes also have the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

"I thought so before, that's why I saved you in a daze." I summed up my previous immaturity, and then persuaded me: "But then I figured out that many things still need to be regulated by the law, even if it is to eliminate violence and peace, we must abide by the relevant law." Fortunately, you and Lord Du Zhuang have nothing to do with the assassination of Taiwei Sun, but I don't know if the state government yamen will investigate these lives. ”

"Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, these people were not killed by the Red Sleeves." Ye Liuyun explained with a smile on the side: "This is also what I admire for the ability of the owner of Du Zhuang, they only need to put the evidence out and let these people confess their guilt, as long as they choose to judge themselves, then their families, they will take good care of them, and all the guilt will not be made public." Otherwise, if the government investigates it, it will be difficult for their families to raise their heads in the future. ”

"And this kind of operation?" I didn't expect that a woman who looked at Du Zhuang so gentle would have such a means. "Is Master Du's martial arts very powerful?" I asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun shook his head, "She can beat ordinary people, but her light skills should be good, otherwise she would have survived if she was pushed off the cliff." ”

"You did it, right?"

"Who made that Du Ruoqing not recognize me, I knew at a glance that she was not the real owner."

Ye Liuyun was proud, and at this time, his brows furrowed again, and he gave me a look.

I looked in the direction he was pointing and noticed that the door was a little fluttering, and there must be someone eavesdropping on it.

Ye Liuyun tiptoed to the door, then grabbed the doorknob, secretly counted a few numbers, and quickly opened the wooden door.

only heard a "poof", and the two people who were eavesdropping outside the door immediately fell in.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be you two little lovers." Ye Liuyun quipped.

Sun Zhengzhi, who fell to the ground, got up quickly, and then pulled Du Ruo, who had fallen together, up. Du Ruo's face was flushed by Ye Liuyun's words, and he hurriedly trotted behind me to hide.

Sun Zheng looked stupid and asked me with a smile: "Can Ye Huwei stay in the convoy?" ”

I nodded, "We've agreed, and he'll continue to follow the convoy all the way, this time, you're relieved, right?" ”

Sun Zhengcheng happily hugged Ye Liuyun, "Great, great, this time I can finally learn kung fu." ”

Ye Liuyun pushed Sun Zheng away with a look of disgust, pouted and said, "Stay away from me, I didn't say that I would accept you as an apprentice." ”

"It's okay, just teach me a trick or two." Sun Zheng was like a dog skin plaster, and he put it on Ye Liuyun's body one by one.

Behind him, Li Da leaned against the door, clasped his hands on his chest, watching the two of them play, and it was rare to show a relieved smile.

"Du Ruo, it seems that you really have a lot of rivals." I turned my head to Du Ruo and joked, Du Ruo blushed, hid behind me and whispered for mercy: "Miss, don't make fun of Du Ruo." ”

After resting in Fengxian County for a few days, the state capital yamen finally sent the governor to take care of it. With that out of the way, we're ready to go.

"Du Ruo, why don't you stay, anyway, when it comes to the new moon, there should be no shortage of people in the palace to serve."

I saw that Du Ruo was packing his luggage, so I came over and suggested kindly, but I didn't want to provoke Du Ruo.

"Miss, are you going to treat Du Ruo as a burden and throw it away?"

"Why do you think that?" I hurriedly explained: "I have always regarded you as a sister, when have I ever treated you as a burden? ”

The corners of Du Ruo's mouth twitched, and tears fell. "Miss, I don't want to leave you, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

"Jing said stupid things, you have followed me all your life, what should Sun Zheng do?"

Hearing this, Du Ruo couldn't help but become shy again, and burst into laughter.

I stepped forward and stroked her hair and soothed, "Isn't it nice for you to reunite with your mother and live a normal pastoral life with her?" As for Sun Zheng, as long as I am here, I will not allow him to be negative to you. ”

"Miss, I haven't written the eight characters yet, I'm afraid that I won't be worthy of Sun Zheng."

"How come, he's just a storyteller, you are Princess Da Zhou's personal maid, where is it not worthy." I took Du Ruo's hand and came to the edge of the bed and sat down, "I know you miss me, but your mother also misses you, I can't take you to a foreign country for my own selfish desires, and let your mother and son be separated, I can't get over this kind of thing from my heart." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Princess doesn't have to feel sorry, I asked Du Ruo to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Du Ruoxi, the owner of the red-sleeved village, changed his outfit, followed by several female disciples, and suddenly had a little majesty of the head of the rivers and lakes.

Du Ruoxi saluted me and said sincerely: "Over the years, Du Ruo has been taken care of by the prince and the princess in the palace, and we may not be able to repay this kindness in this life, so let Du Ruo stay with the princess, as for our mother and daughter, we will see each other again in the future." ”

Hearing what Du Ruoxi said, I felt that there was something in the words, "What does Master Du mean, will you also come to the new moon?" ”

Du Ruo looked at his mother suspiciously, and asked in surprise: "Mother, is this really the case?" ”

Du Ruoxi nodded, "Her Royal Highness the princess is really smart, no wonder she discovered Zhang Xian's problem so quickly in Qi County that day." ”

"Master Du, don't praise me about the affairs of Qixian anymore, my conceit almost affected Song Lancheng's plan." Hearing Du Ruoxi praise me, I couldn't help but blush a little.

It turned out that a Song Lancheng had made me embarrassed, and now I found that everything was just a chess game set up by the red-sleeved village, and I felt that I was a little too self-righteous.

"Since Master Du Zhuang intends to go to the crescent moon, why don't you go all the way, and be a companion."

Du Ruoxi shook his head, "There are still some things to deal with here, I want to wait until this time next year, maybe everything can be taken care of, and then I will meet with you again." ”

I immediately understood in my heart that the thing she was referring to should be Du Ruoqing's pregnancy and childbirth.

"Last time, Du Juan and Du Yu failed to really be the princess's maids, let them follow this time, they know a little martial arts, and they also know a little bit of Qihuang's art, if Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't dislike it, take them with you."

As soon as Du Ruoxi finished speaking, Du Juan and Du Yu walked forward slowly, saluted me and Du Ruo: "Du Juan, Du Yu, I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess, and I have seen the young owner. ”

Du Ruo saw someone salute him for the first time, and the slightly embarrassed unit refused: "What is the young owner, in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, you can't just call it randomly." ”

"Yes, young farmer."

Du Ruo was a little angry, and I watched happily on the sidelines.

"Okay, I think you still have pseudonyms Cuiyun and Yutang, if you are both surnamed Du, it will always make outsiders guess what you have to do with Du Ruo. Besides, Du Ruo is my personal maid, you should treat her as a first-class maid the most, you can call her sister on weekdays, and in private, you can call her however you like. ”

"Yes, yes, I also call my sister on weekdays." Du Ruo echoed on the side.

The two little girls nodded in response.

At this time, Gu Shoucheng walked in and reported to me that the convoy was still fully assembled and ready to leave at any time.

The newly arrived governor of the state capital, Lu Zhe, also brought people to see him off. Regarding the case of Gu Shaoqing's murder, many witnesses were present, and Du Ruoqing also confessed all the facts, so the case was quickly decided.

Because Du Ruoqing killed by mistake, and I pleaded for two sentences, I was sentenced to three years in prison, because she was pregnant, and her imprisonment was delayed for one year.

When the group came to the street outside the yamen, the convoy was still lined up.

At this moment, Li Da was already sitting in the carriage, Ye Liuyun and Sun Zheng were riding horses, laughing and joking on one side, and on the other side was the beautiful cook Ziyu, this time Fengxian reserved materials, which belonged to the things she brought the most, spices, fruits, salted meat, vegetables, what she could carry, she went and loaded it in the carriage.

I looked at the long convoy, and then looked at Du Ruo, who was saying goodbye to his mother, and two maids with aliases, and suddenly felt that I had gained a lot along the way.

I looked back and forgot to look at the south, at this moment the spring cherry blossoms in the yamen are fluttering with petal rain, pink for a while, very beautiful.

Presumably at this moment, the Zhao Wangfu in Kyoto, the peach tree planted by his mother in the past has also died.

The time we can walk on the territory of the Great Zhou is only five or six days at most, I don't know how many of us can return to the land of the Great Zhou?

Du Ruo and I climbed into the carriage, and the two little maids, Cuiyun and Yutang, took another carriage that was picked up. It seems that the owner of Du Zhuang has already discussed with Gu Shoucheng, otherwise, he would not have prepared the carriage so well.

"Gu Shoucheng, let's go!"

Gu Shoucheng replied "Yes," rode to the front of the team, and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”
