The war is getting tighter and tighter, but the situation of Su Tan is getting worse and worse. Sometimes the ink ballad was given to him, and after reading one article, it would take a long time to hear his faint voice reply.

Those battle reports made people's hearts chill more and more, the Qin army pressed forward step by step, and the Chu army was defeated and retreated. Although he knew that some of this was arranged by Su Tian in advance, he still inevitably felt sad. The four words of the country's ruin and the death of the family are heavily pressed on the heart of the ink rumor. She still doesn't know where her hometown is, and the inextricable connection with the Chu State has been deeply rooted in the bloodline.

After dragging on for more than four months, Yu Chucai finally sent a letter, saying that he had completed the incorporation of the garrison at Hangu Pass. Su Qian issued five edicts in a row before he finally got the news that Yu Chu had returned to Shouchun. The edict only said that Yu Chu wanted to return to Shouchun alone, but he actually came back with him, as well as the 60,000 soldiers and horses brought by Hangu Pass.

In the palace of the king of Chu, Ying Shi stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the clever palace maid, and inserted a Qingluan acacia hairpin into her hair bun. There was a prayer post pressed under the bronze mirror, and the palace maid glanced at the worship post and asked flatteringly: "The princess is really a national beauty and heavenly fragrance, do you want to invite Lord Yu Chu in?" ”

Ying Shi looked at her with a smile: "How much benefit does he give you, and you speak for him like this?" "The palace maid was brought from the Qin State, and she has been helping Ying Shi comb her hair and dress, and she knows Ying Shi's temper. The more she laughed and talked to people, the more angry she became, and the worse the punishment became.

The palace maid immediately turned white with fright, and knelt on the ground with a "bang": "The princess forgives her sins, and the slave and maid dare not trespass." Ying Shi picked up the peach comb, poked it into her hand, and said fiercely: "I, a princess of Qin who is under house arrest, what's the use of seeing me?" ”

The teeth of the mahogany comb were as sharp as a knife, and they poked into the back of the palace maid's hand, and blood flowed down her wrist. The palace maid endured the pain and didn't dare to say a word.

Yu Chu waited outside the door until late at night, but still no one passed on, so he walked to the hall by himself. The palace maid on duty at night saw Princess Yingshi's tantrum during the day, and hurriedly stopped her. Yu Chu took out a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg from his arms and quietly put it in the palace maid's hand: "Good sister, you just pretend not to see me, I promise, the princess will definitely not blame." ”

The palace maid had already received the benefits of Chu Chu, and when she saw him pleading softly, she bit her lip and did not speak, and walked into the hall by him.

As soon as the front foot entered the temple gate, a white jade stone flew over, Yu Chu dodged sideways, and the stone fell on the door frame. Ying Shi sneered: "You are so bold, you dare to swagger to send a message during the day, are you afraid that others will not know that you are coming here?" ”

Yu Chu sat down opposite her, took out the chess pieces and randomly played a corner on the chessboard: "What can you do if you know?" I have already taken that thing back, and the country of Chu is about to change. ”

"Ha, don't forget, you still have to agree to the old woman in Zhaoxiang Palace." Ying Shi looked at him mockingly.

"Don't say that, she's my grandmother." Yu Chu clasped Ying Shi's hand, "If you marry me, she is also your grandmother." ”

Ying Shi's face was red and white for a while, and he pushed the chess pieces aside in annoyance: "That thing, it really works?" ”

Yu Chu nodded: "The thing is true, and I am also true, as for whether it can be effective, it depends on whether the princess is willing to help." After a pause, seeing that Ying Shi didn't speak, Yu Chu added: "This matter is also good for the princess, the princess will help me get back the Chu country, and I will help the princess take back the Qin country." ”

Ying Shi squinted her eyes and smiled: "What about the little girl with the bamboo knot, I heard that she is your confidante?" ”

"She's not going to get in the way of the princess." Yu Chu replied solemnly.

……

Since Yu Chu brought back the men and horses of Hangu Pass, the Chu army has become more and more disorganized.

Mo Yu put down the paperwork he had just sent, Xiao Zhen's soldiers and horses had already arrived thirty miles outside Shouchun City, thanks to Huang Qi's soldiers and horses ambushing there, which caught them off guard. Both sides are world-famous generals, who have fought in Lingxiao Pass for many years, but they have not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, and now they are just moving the battlefield to the outside of Shouchun City.

She tried not to read the bad news to Su, and simply said that Xiao Zhen and Huang Qi were facing each other. But this was originally Su Tianbu's game, and he didn't need to listen to the detailed battle report, he also understood it clearly in his heart.

"Mo Yu, this is for you." Su Tian did not ask about the things in the battle report, but pointed to a brocade box next to the bed and spoke.

Mo Yu opened the box, and a set of turquoise dresses was neatly folded inside.

"I used to draw it, and I only made it recently, you can try it." Su Tian could only speak in a void voice.

"Try this and do nothing, it's not like you don't have new clothes." Mo Yu is a little unaccustomed, Su Tian has never deducted her in terms of use, and she herself does not like to dress up as much as ordinary girls.

"Try it, wear it, show me." Su Tian just looked at her like that, not a pleading, not an order.

Mo Yu never couldn't refuse Su Tian like this, picked up the box, and got into the small room next to him. Su leaned on the couch and waited patiently, he had always been very patient, since she was nine years old, he had been waiting for her to grow up. But...... This time it seems like a little too long......

"Ink ballads?" He cried softly.

There was no response for a long time, and the bead curtain heard the sound of the rope, and the blue-green figure turned out of the small room, and his hands and feet were twisted so that he didn't know where to put it. Liuyun wide sleeves and water-patterned skirt are the style of deep clothes of the nobles of Chu State, but they are different from ordinary deep clothes, a little more elegant.

"Come here," Su Qian beckoned to her with a smile, and when she approached, he straightened it around her waist, "The jade belt is reversed." ”

"Why are you dressed like this?" Mo Yu asked with a bitter face, "I can't walk anymore." ”

Su Tian stopped talking, just stared at her, from the tips of his hair to the corners of his eyebrows, from the collar on his chest to the soft shoes on the soles of his feet, he wanted to remember, remember what she looked like today. It's beautiful......

At lunch, Mo Yu had already changed the clothes that were too flowing, and when Su Tian asked, she said that it was too elegant, and she was going to fly when she put it on, so it was better to have her feet on the ground.

After lunch, Su Tian took a nap as usual, and Mo Yu was in a daze in front of the window. Will Xiao Zhen attack Shouchun? She couldn't help it, and his name was everywhere on the paperwork sent every day.

Xiao Zhen? Mo Yu suddenly remembered the days when he was locked up, and quickly climbed up to the copper tripod, stretched out his arms, and reached out for the Xuanniao mask. She also had to go to see Xiao Zhen once, because she remembered that Xiao Zhen had fed her a decoction made of black glowstone powder, and he himself said that even if he was dying, he could last another three or four months after eating this.

……

Outside Shouchun City, Xiao Zhen was surrounded by a group of soldiers who asked him to teach archery. Xiao Zhen took out a copper coin and threw it into the sky, the copper coin spun with a whistle-like sound, he closed his eyes, and shot an arrow with the sound he heard with his ears. The long arrow was piercing through the round hole in the center of the coin, staring at the horse's hoof.

The soldiers cheered, Xiao Zhen jumped off the horse and patted the young soldiers beside him: "Practice your arm strength first, and your archery skills will be half." ”

Walking back to the camp tent, Xuanwu was sitting in Xiao Zhen's position as the commander, eating the fruit he had just delivered. A few of the fruits were a little shriveled, but some of them were good enough to eat during the march. Tens of thousands of Mali, and only the coach has such treatment.

Xiao Zhen no longer sneaked into the Chu State, and Xuanwu finally didn't have to follow Xiao Zhen quietly like a shadow. His surname is Meng, and his father Meng Shuanghe once saved Xiao Zhen's life, so he is half like a subordinate and half like a brother, and he is much more arrogant than others.

"I'm back, and you're not going to go?" Xiao Zhen glanced at him and threw the towel that had wiped his hands on his face.

"I guess you still have to go out, I'll bet a silver ingot with Suzaku, you can't leave a stick of incense in this big tent." Xuanwu was a little arrogant, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "There is a flat-chested little girl with no buttocks, who looks like she hasn't grown up yet." ”

"What about people?" Xiao Zhen asked lightly.

"I was brought here by the sentry just now, and I said you went to train new soldiers." Xuanwu scratched his head.

Xiao Zhen raised his head: "Why don't you keep her?" ”

"Hurry, huh?" Xuanwu said with a smile, seeing Xiao Zhen's eyes, he didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, and hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that when others see her here, it's not convenient after all, so let her go to Suzaku." ”
