After the end of the day, the drill of the city's attack and defense became a compulsory course for Mo Zhai and Wang Xu every day. After the collection of the spring festival tax, the official duties of Nozaifu became easier. Wang Xu was back to the Lord Yezai who arrived late and left early. At the same time, Li Cang hung a large tiger head wooden lock outside the courtyard gate of the school, and Xifang City lost its former vitality. On the street outside the school hall and the collection hall, only two rows of bare trees and the bluestone pavement that was uncleaned and full of fallen leaves remained.

In the past, every time the school was dismissed, groups of children would crowd the path to the brimm. The noise of the children echoes the noise of the nearby shops. It is like spreading the prosperity of Yunmeng to this point and bringing it into the lonely Yunmeng Mountain. However, by this time the hustle and bustle was gone. The sudden tranquility made it a little lonely. During the long closure period, Ah Ji, who occasionally passed by here to go to the medicine house, couldn't help but miss those innocent and noisy children.

Two women, one green and one pink, strolled through the leaf-covered street with bamboo baskets on their shoulders. Their arrival adds a touch of color to the paleness of the place. The faintly exposed embroidered shoes under the skirt creaked the yellow fallen leaves, as if walking on snow.

The woman in pink jumped in front of the woman in Tsing Yi, she turned around playfully and stopped the other party. Then, slowly, backwards.

"In a few days, it's time for the spring festival. Has the lady made new clothes for the adults? ”

The woman in green clothes helped her sideburns that were blown by the wind. Glared at each other. His face was flushed. I don't know if it's shyness, or if it's cold, my cheeks are slightly red from the cold.

"You! Walk well. It's a good job. But I was clumsy, and it took me a month. ”

I recall the cotton clothes I sewed for my husband last year. The woman lowered her head and smiled slightly.

"How so? The maid saw that the lady's skirt was exquisitely made, and presumably the lady's female red skills must be extraordinary. ”

Hearing this, the woman covered her lips and smiled. Then, looking around, his big black eyes rolled, and he whispered:

"These... It's all made by adults. ”

The woman in pink stumbled abruptly and almost fell. After stabilizing her figure, she stood still, looking at the other person's clothes suspiciously. After spending half a month with this strange couple, she more or less figured out the temperament of the two. For example, in order to prevaricate her at the beginning, the man lied that he was afraid of guilt, but now she naturally no longer believes it.

said that being so, but the other party was a dignified doctor of Nozai. On weekdays, he also has a momentum that is not angry but powerful in the palace. The easy-going appearance can't hide the posture of the superior who inadvertently leaks out. Ever since her confession, the woman has maintained a sense of reverence for the superficially approachable fellow.

Because her identity as a secret spy seems to be dispensable in the eyes of the other party. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be on guard, or you will offer her as an ancestor. But today's situation... It seems to be reversed.

She didn't dare to imagine that such a person would pick up a needle and thread to sew clothes for his wife when she returned home. The other party's smiling tiger-like image in her mind, because of her wife's words, suddenly became a well-behaved kitten. It's unbelievable. She was dumbfounded for a moment, then took the arm of the woman in front of her, and smiled like a flower.

"But the things of my daughter's house. It's always a little inconvenient for him to do it as a man, right? ”

"My adult and I are already husband and wife, and we have no distinction between each other. When Zijing gets married, she will understand. That one... I told you this as a sister. Do not speak to others in this matter. Especially... It's an adult. ”

"Oh... The servant knows. ”

Although there is a difference in the identities of the two, they are always educated by people who are two years younger than themselves. Qiu Youzijing's heart was always a little panicked. Her interest in Wang Xu became stronger and stronger. From Aji, the woman can feel the happiness of being spoiled. At the age of sixteen, she also wants to find a lover for herself, find a place to live, and live a more enjoyable life like Aji.

The distant Jin Kingdom is on the outskirts of the country. Yu Rang carried a three-foot sword in his left hand. The sword was not heavy, but the hand holding the sword trembled terribly. So much so that one end of the long sword dragged on the ground, leaving a shallow trail. Yu Rang's right hand was on his left chest, and he stumbled along the path in the woods. Beads of sweat on his chin swayed, occasionally falling on his arms. Soon after, he returned to his small courtyard. His right hand rested on the low wooden door, barely supporting his crumbling body. The fence attached to the wooden gate also shook.

"Wan'er..."

Yu Rang's face was pale, and the clothes on his left chest were tattered. It was covered in blood, as if it had been pierced through the shoulder blades with a sharp weapon. It's only an inch away from the vital point. Qiu Youziwan heard Yu Rang's call and walked out of the door with a smile. When he saw the other party's wounds, he immediately lost his face.

"Mr. Jean! What's wrong with you? ”

"Come with me!"

The woman did not hesitate, and hurriedly took the long sword in Yu Rang's hand. Hunched over, put Yu Rang's right arm on his shoulder, and helped the other side to the sparsely populated south. Qiu Youziwan sobbed softly as she walked. Since I met Yu Rang, I have been living in fear. Either fearing for the man's safety or weeping over his injuries. After going undercover for Fan's, Yu Rang was always injured slightly. Qiu Youziwan occasionally asked with concern, and the other party always replied lightly:

"Let this be a dead soldier, and live by taking people's lives. As long as you don't die, God will have mercy. ”

Gradually, she got used to such a life. Accustomed to witnessing the horrific wounds, he also learned to get used to the dizziness that comes with seeing a blurred picture of flesh and blood. She was eighteen years old. Perhaps an ordinary woman is already a mother of two children at such an age. And Qiu Youziwan does not have the right to choose the happiness of his life. can only serve as a slave and maid for the master, and leave his fate to Zhiyao to arrange.

An hour later, they hid in an abandoned cave in the middle of the mountains. At this time, Yu Rang had passed out. Qiu Youziwan found a dead branch and lit a fire in the cave. Then, she struggled to hold the man in her arms and took off the other man's shirt. The moment she saw the wound, the woman's face turned her head sharply and she vomited.

The wound was underneath the collarbone, where there was a hole the size of a bird's egg. Mori white bones can be faintly seen in the flesh. Obviously, this terrible wound was caused by weapons such as spears and halberds.

Qiu Youziwan patted her chest, and after her breath stabilized a little, she unbuttoned her shirt. Tearing off the fabric of the undergarment and began to bandage Yu Rang. The woman didn't have the slightest concern, thinking back to the first aid method that Yu Rang had taught her. Deal with it seriously.

Because she went out in a hurry and didn't bring any medicine, the woman was a little flustered at the moment. When the bandages were put and there was no sign of blood spreading on the strip of cloth, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the bleeding stopped. After doing this, Qiu Youziwan's forehead was already soaked with sweat. The woman wiped her forehead and immediately frowned.

For severe injuries like this, a soldering iron is usually applied to the wound to prevent ulceration and infection. Usually this will increase the chance of survival of the injured person, but it is only 50%. If you don't, the chances of survival are slim.

The woman's gaze moved back and forth between the sword and the fire, hesitating. The trembling delicate body can't hide the fear in his heart. The flickering firelight reflected the woman's body reddish as if her heart was tangled. She sat silently in the cave, stroking her trembling hand over Yu Rang's stubble-covered face. The feeling of helplessness in my heart gradually dissipated, and I got a little peace in my heart.

Soon after, Yu Rang slowly opened his eyes. He struggled to support himself with his right hand. The left arm hangs as if it is out of his control.

"Put out the fire. Walk. ”

If you walk another two miles, you can arrive at the pavilion where you secretly transmit information with Zhiyao on weekdays. If there is a connector there, as long as you arrive at the pavilion, it is considered truly safe. It's easy to light a fire in the mountains and reveal your whereabouts. He knew that Fan's pursuers would be there in a moment. The intelligence discovered today is very important to Zhi Yao. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk at this time and defected from the Fan family.

With the support of Qiu Youziwan, Yu Rang walked out of the cave. A bitter cold wind howled and hung on their faces. A slight whining sound sounded at the entrance of the cave. Yu Rang squinted his eyes and saw sporadic firelight in the distance coming towards him.

"It's too late. You go first... Hurry up and inform your lord that the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan are ready to make a move against the Zhao clan tomorrow. Jin Yang can't afford to lose, let him plan early. ”

The Bank of China and the Fan family are in-laws, and the two families are like a family, and their strength should not be underestimated. They originally had a relatively harmonious relationship with the Zhi family, and if they traced back to their roots, the three of them were all from the Xun family. The children of the clan are inextricably linked. Most of the clansmen of the three families still use the surname Xun. Although there is such a blood relationship, Dazai, as the head of the Six Emperors, has suppressed the other five clans to strengthen his own strength during the reign of the past generations. For example, the previous Zhao Jianzi was like this. He tried his best to suppress the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan.

The fuse of the incident was that the Zhao clan beheaded Zhao Wu, the governor of Handan, in order to compete for the population of 500 households that were sacrificed to defend the country. And that person is Zhong Xingyin's nephew. After the incident, the Marquis of Jin came forward to persuade him and cut Zhao Jianzi Dazai's position and replaced him by Zhiyao. Originally, the loss of a nephew in exchange for the opportunity for the Xun clan to govern was also a no-loss deal. Unexpectedly, after Zhi Yao came to power, he did not remember the clan affection, and the way of governing was the same as that of Zhao Jianzi, and he suppressed the development of the other five kings everywhere.

They are all old people who have been up and down in the sea for many years, and they are old and fine. chose to bring up the old matter again at this time and attack the Zhao family. On the one hand, he wanted to pour Zhiyao's stage and give the other party some color. so that he can know the consequences of completely breaking away from the Xun family's own door. On the other hand, it is to destroy the Zhao clan by thunder and strengthen itself. Even if the Zhao clan's throne did not fall into the hands of the two families in the end, the land and population annexed were enough to quickly increase their strength, so that they could compete with the other three families in the future and be invincible. If this is done, then Zhiyao's plan to monopolize the government will go bankrupt.

Yu Rang has been undercover in Fan's family, and he has always been well hidden, and his identity has never been exposed. The current risk is the key to seeing this. It is conceivable that if the two old thieves, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Ji, can quickly take Jinyang, then the political situation of the Jin Kingdom is about to change. If the war drags on, it is likely to attract the intervention of Qi or Yue. That Zhiyao's dream of a strong Jin Kingdom is difficult to realize in this life. And Yu Rang didn't want to see Yue Guo pick up the cheap at this time.

"The servant doesn't leave. If Mr. has an accident. How does the servant explain to the suzerain? To go... Let's go together. ”

The light of the torches that searched the mountains and fields was getting closer and closer.

Yu Rang dragged his unconscious left arm, and put his right hand on Qiu Youziwan's weak shoulder, suddenly his eyes lit up, tilted his head, and suddenly choked the back of the woman's neck, and stopped.

"Listen to me. We're going to die if we walk together. If they are separated, there is still a possibility of survival. It's urgent, and you have to live to tell the news to the adults. Obedient... Come on. ”

"No... The slave will not leave yours. Mr. Jean can't die. The status of the servant is lowly, and it is not a pity to die. ”

Yu Rang pushed Qiu Ziwan away. The woman's neck had been pinched red by him.

"I'm going to be alone. There is no concern in this world. You tell Zhiyao that the one who is a confidant dies. I will not break my word, and I ask him to remember what he promised me. Let's go! ”

Qiu Youziwan was pushed and staggered forward a few steps. She covered her mouth in place and cried under her breath, tears pouring out. Getting along with Yu Rang day and night, she was deeply impressed by the man's noble character. The other party's martial arts are strong and brilliant, and the sentence "Death for a confidant" is like a sharp sword, which twists the woman's heart to pieces. Between friendship and hatred, Yu Rang chose the most beautiful thing. Qiu Youziwan sniffed, and her eyes immediately became firm. She shook slowly at Yu Rang.

"For Wan'er... Please let sir... Live..."

After saying that, the woman turned around and ran in the direction of the pavilion. The sad sobbing echoed in Yu's ears for a long time, lingering.

Yu Rang stood stunned for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Qiu Youziwan's back and leaned out his right hand. Chapped lips open slightly, then close again. The woman ran very fast, and in a moment's time, the shadow had disappeared into the dim woods. Yu Rang shook his head helplessly, jumped forward, and slid down the low slope on one side.

"Hey! Let me live, you will leave the sword behind. ”

Without a weapon to defend himself, Yu Rang had to hide. He curled up behind a dead log, his right hand clutching a stick and burying it in the dead leaves, waiting for the torch to approach. From time to time, the sound of spears stabbing into thick fallen leaves could be heard in the forest, and the footsteps that were killing them. Yu Rang couldn't help but hold his breath. The light and shadow of the flickering torch illuminated the open space on his side. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the forest was silent. He vaguely heard someone whispering something.

"My lord! The suzerain had an order to withdraw to the national city and capture Zhao Wuxian. ”

Then, instead of searching this way, the gang turned back the way they came. Yu Rang was worried about fraud, so he went around in a big circle and returned to the hut in the suburbs. At this time, the house was in shambles, and the low courtyard gate fell to the ground. The house was turned into a mess. Yu Rang took the bed quilt and wrapped it around his body, and then walked into the firewood room. He knocked down all the pyres that had been piled on the side of the wall. Dry wood scattered on the ground with a clatter, and immediately buried half of the room. Yu Rang hid in it and fell asleep grossly.

At this time, it is winter, and in order to survive the winter safely, the people's homes will prepare two months of firewood. That's why the dry firewood in the firewood room will pile up like a hill. This is done to avoid snow disasters that can cause heavy snow to block the roads. As long as the trapped people have enough food and firewood in their homes, they will not starve to death or freeze to death.
