In the early morning, a milky white mist shrouded the forest.

With a few more people, they walked quickly through the forest and searched.

He had seen the scene, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and Ah Cai's belongings were still there, and it seemed that he really left very unexpectedly.

However, as long as it happens, it will definitely leave traces.

Someone found a footprint on the moss.

It is a woman's footprint, small and exquisite, very shallow, but it is not new.

There was a "bang" sound in front of him, and he walked forward quickly again, and saw a gray-haired, ragged woodcutter chopping firewood.

He watched the woodcutter for a long time.

The guard was about to bring the men over, but he stopped them and stepped forward.

When he got closer, the woodcutter noticed the crowd, and hurriedly threw his axe and knelt on the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

He asked the guard to take a few steps back, then looked into the woodcutter's eyes, and whispered, "I have a few words for you to convey to her." ”

The woodcutter was at a loss.

and went his own way: "Tell her to come back quickly before she makes a big mistake, and I will not blame the past and forgive her." Otherwise, the last bit of friendship between me and her would never be again. ”

The woodcutter said blankly: "What are you talking about?" The grass people don't understand. ”

He turned around and left again, and ordered the guards: "Hurry back to Lianfeng immediately." ”

The guard was curious: "What did His Highness say to that woodcutter?" ”

His face sank like water again, and his lips tightened.

After some distance, he looked back and saw that the woodcutter was gone.

The guard brought the horses, and he turned on his horses and went on without looking back.

As night fell, a few cold stars twinkled in the sky.

A state city belonging to Jingzhong and closest to Lianfeng slowly opened the closed city gate, and more than a dozen people galloped in on horseback, and in the middle of the procession, there were two people wrapped in black hooded cloaks and cloaks who couldn't see their figures clearly.

The horse team rushed into the city without slowing down, and did not stop until it was outside the general's palace, and two men wrapped in black hooded cloaks dismounted and strode into the general's palace surrounded by a group of people.

The sturdy general stood on the main road, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the visitor majestically: "Who is the comer?" ”

The black hood was slowly lowered, and most of a delicate face was revealed, and Ah Cai stared at the other party expressionlessly, without saying a word.

The general smiled faintly and asked tentatively, "County Lord?" ”

Ah Cai nodded faintly.

The general exaggerated a "please" gesture, "You please." ”

In the hall, the shrewd minister of Jingzhong was waiting among them, and when he saw Ah Cai, he didn't even have a simple greeting, and said bluntly: "The agreement between the county lord and His Majesty has been completed halfway, and the remaining half should be completed next." ”

Ah Cai sat down on top of him and said coldly: "That's natural, tomorrow, you can propose to King Rui that you happened to save me from the remnants of the Li clan in Dongling, and asked them if they want me to return safely, if so, please marry Jingzhong." ”

Minister Jingzhong curled the corners of his lips: "The county lord is really a man of temperament." ”

In order to destroy the marriage of the person in love, it is possible to do this kind of thing, and the eyes of the people in Jingzhong are full of ridicule and contempt.

Ah Cai didn't see it: "According to the previous agreement, your Emperor Majesty should summon me." ”

Minister Jingzhong pretended not to hear: "The county lord is tired, please rest first." ”

Ah Cai smiled: "Since you want to break your word, then don't blame me." ”

The minister of Jingzhong smiled and said nothing, and the general laughed "haha": "I thought the county lord was a smart person, but I didn't expect it to be a thought." You have done us a great favor before, of course we want to meet you, now that you are here, then feel at ease as a guest, and leave nothing else. ”

Ah Cai said: "Are you really here? ”

The general shouted: "Someone! Please go down and rest. ”

The maid shouted and scolded: "You unfaithful"

Ah Cai waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this, I'll go by myself." ”

"If the county lord cooperates, it will be the best, after all, we don't want to hurt the distinguished guests." The minister of Jingzhong accepted it when he saw it, and let go of Ah Cai and the maid.

The Jingzhong people led Ah Cai and the others to a room, locked the door with a "clang" and left.

The maid couldn't help crying: "County Lord, what should I do?" It's self-defeating. ”

The county lord told her that she could borrow the hand of the Jingzhong people to make the county lord of Jasper and King Rui unable to get married, and then reveal the true identity of King Rui, and then there would be a chance.

She didn't know much about this, but the county lord was very assertive, and she rarely did something wrong, so she couldn't help but listen.

Now it seems that things are not going well, and if something happens to the county lord, she, the person who serves, will definitely not survive.

The maid cried even louder.

"What are you crying about? Isn't it yet the end? Ah Cai slowly took off her cloak and ordered, "Let them boil water for me, and I will bathe." ”

How could she still have the heart to bathe? And will the people of Jingzhong listen? The maid sobbed and choked for a long time, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Ah Cai was impatient and shouted, and soon someone outside answered: "Please wait, the county lord, the hot water will come soon." ”

Hot water and new clothes were delivered, Ah Cai comfortably took a hot bath, ate a full meal, lay on the bed to recuperate, holding a sharp dagger tightly in his hand, trembling uncontrollably.

and came to look for her in person, which shows that she is not without status in his heart.

However, she wants more than this, she is too greedy, she has liked him for so many years, and she can't give it up.

In her world, there was only Duanren in the first ten years, and only Youyou in the last ten years.

Since everyone refuses to help her, then she has to rely on herself, anyway, she can't live like her, why not gamble?

Ah Cai slowly calmed down, and she fell asleep smiling.

At dawn, the city of Lianfeng was overcast, as if waiting for someone again.

A messenger from Jingzhong came to the door proudly and asked for King Rui by name.

"Our people caught a group of remnants of the former Dongling Li clan during their patrol and rescued two girls, who were said to be the county lords of your country, named Ah Cai. In order to save them, we have lost a lot of men and horses, I wonder how your country intends to thank us? ”

He asked expressionlessly, "What kind of thank you do you want?" ”

The envoy of Jingzhong smiled and said: "My Majesty has heard that His Royal Highness has a talent, and he is willing to form a good relationship for the princess, so as to marry the good of Jingzhong and Liguo." ”

Although the planned marriage between Li Guo and Shen Guo has not been made public, it is not difficult to find out with Jingzhong's ability, and there is also a Cai in the middle.

It's just that you and others have always thought that the purpose of Jingzhong and Ah Cai is probably just to prevent the marriage between Shen Guo and Li Guo, but they didn't expect Jingzhong to plan to do so.

The envoy of Jingzhong asked: "I don't know what His Highness wants?" ”
