The woman frowned at her, "This is not to go to the mountains and rivers, if you run around, I can't protect you." ”

Fu Ruan nodded heavily, "My purpose is the same as yours, I have my sweetheart at the border." ”

"It's not Zhao Jinlin!"

Fu Ruan chuckled and shook his head, then left a letter for Ye Lanxin and put it on the counter, then packed up some things and followed the woman.

"I don't know what your name is." Fu Ruan thought that he couldn't always call it feed, so he had to rely on her all the way.

Knowing that she didn't like Zhao Jinlin, and Zhao Jinlin didn't like her, the woman looked at her a lot more pleasantly, and she also had a little smile on her face.

"Su Zhiyao."

This name sounds like a delicate and lovely lady, but this lady is indeed a chivalrous girl with a big temper.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Su Zhiyao took his horse and asked Fu Ruan.

"Yes." I've ridden it a few times, so I shouldn't hold them back.

"Miss, I know there is a shortcut to the border." At this time, the bald man suddenly spoke, "But Miss, let's go to the border pass and directly tie Zhao Gongzi back, as for everything at the border pass, let's not care." ”

Fu Ruan was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Nanyi Yanqiu is going to war against our Liang Kingdom, if we are defeated, will there be your Sword Forging Villa?" At the head of the national crisis, we should work together to resist foreign enemies, this is what everyone should do as a Liangguo person, you have reached the border and still want to pat your ass and leave? Isn't it a bit too much. "What's more, there is the yellow finch of Southern Wei behind him, and what is even more strange is that Nanyi and Yanqiu teamed up to deal with Liangguo, and behind them were the ghosts of Southern Wei, so they believed the words of the emperor of Southern Wei?

At that time, the three countries will lose both, and the Southern Wei Dynasty will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman without any loss.

I'm afraid this battle can't be opened.

The only way is to negotiate and convince Nanyi and Yanqiu, the two big fools.

The bald head was red-faced by Fu Ruan's words, and his ears were red, and he suddenly didn't dare to open his mouth.

Su Zhiyao glared at the bald head, then turned over and got on the horse, "Lead the way ahead." ”

The bald head looked eager, spurred the horse to gallop forward, Su Zhiyao followed closely, Fu Ruan did not run very fast on horseback, after all, she was still a novice in horseback riding, and she was always afraid that she would fall off the horse, and then break her head and bleed, but she didn't want to cause trouble to others.

The bald man took everyone out of Jingzhou City, and ran towards the side of Heishui Lake, where the landscape road, although it was not easy to walk with the official road, but it was a shortcut, from Jingzhou to the border for half a month, it only took ten days to walk here.

After Ye Lanxin woke up, she fed Zijun and fell asleep, so she went downstairs, but saw Xiaolian cleaning the lobby and Uncle Li cooking food in the kitchen.

"Ma'am." Xiaolian saw that Ye Lan's heart was down, so she put down what she was doing, walked over to her and said, "Boss, she's gone." ”

Xiaolian's face was not very good, which made Ye Lan's heart uneasy.

"What does it mean to be gone?" She asked.

"This is a letter left by the boss, she went to the border with those people yesterday." Xiaolian knew a few words, today she got up and opened the door, but saw that the letter was pressed under the abacus, picked it up and looked at it, but it was left by the boss, when she saw the content of the letter, Xiaolian panicked, but she had no idea, so she had to wait for Ye Lanxin to get up and make arrangements.

Ye Lanxin looked at the contents of the letter, her mouth was closed tightly, her face became more and more ugly, and she only instructed Xiaolian: "Close the door of the store." You all go home for the time being, and when Fu Ruan comes back, I am asking you to come back. After saying that, Ye Lanxin went upstairs to pick up the child and went back to the Hou Mansion.

At that time, Song Qixuan was still playing with birds in the garden, and when he saw Ye Lanxin coming back by himself, at first he thought he was dreaming, he rubbed his eyes, and saw that it was really Ye Lanxin who came back, so he hurriedly ran over, "Lanxin, you are back, do you miss me with the child?" As he spoke, he took Zijun into his arms.

Ye Lanxin's face was stinky, and she sat on the stool angrily, she took a sip of water and said, "Ah Ruan secretly went to the side this morning." ”

"What? Ah Ruan, she, she, she, went to the border? Is there any mistake, isn't she looking for death when she goes to the border as a weak woman? In case something happens, if Ah Yun knows, how can he fight at the border with peace of mind? Song Qixuan's face turned white, and he said angrily: "You were with her yesterday, why don't you take a good look at her?" By the way, how did she know that Ah Yun and they went to the border? ”

Ye Lan blushed and whispered, "I told her." ”

Song Qixuan looked at her speechlessly, he couldn't beat her, he couldn't scold, and the last slap slapped him in the face to get angry.

Ye Lanxin blamed herself a little and didn't dare to look at Song Qixuan, if she hadn't told Fu Ruan last night, but came back to Song Qixuan for help, maybe it wouldn't have been like this.

Song Qixuan let out a long breath, covering his forehead with a headache, "Didn't you say that you were hiding it from her?" How can you tell her what her personality can say? It's a moment to be able to hide it, but the sky has just changed, and you can't hold it back?"

Listening to Song Qixuan's counting, Ye Lanxin was not very happy, as if she was doing it on purpose.

"If Zhao Jinlin's fiancée hadn't come to the door, I was afraid that she would embarrass Ah Ruan, otherwise I wouldn't have told Ah Ruan in advance." Ye Lan said in her heart.

"Zhao Jinlin still has a fiancée?" Song Qixuan raised his eyebrows.

"I heard that I came to Jingzhou to hide from that fiancée, and I'm afraid that I want to go to the border with the prince because I know that this fiancée knows his whereabouts." Ye Lan said in her heart.

"Isn't that woman good-looking? Hiding so much. Song Qixuan's tone was a little gloating.

"That girl is very good-looking, but her temper is not very good, yesterday she didn't say a word and smashed the tables and chairs in Ah Ruan's shop, and Ah Ruan went to the border with them this morning. Thinking that the girl knew that Zhao Jin was going to the border, so she was going to look for him, and Ah Ruan moved her mind. Ye Lanxin regretted telling Fu Ruan about this, but she didn't expect her to move so easily to go to the border.

"If Qi Xuan had an accident with Ruan this time, my conscience would be uneasy for the rest of my life." Ye Lan thought that it was a long way to go to the border pass, even if it was safe to go to the border pass, but wherever the smoke of gunfire was everywhere, it was inevitable that she would encounter danger.

"How many people are on their trip?" Song Qixuan frowned and asked, a little sorry for Ye Lanxin's stupidity.

"Plus Ah Ruan, seven people." Ye Lan said in her heart.

"Presumably, those people should also be from the Jianghu family, and their martial arts are more than enough to protect Ah Ruan, Lan Xin, don't worry." Song Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief and then comforted her again.

"Really? Will they protect Ah Nguyen? The girl was a little hostile to Ah Ruan, and I was afraid that they would leave Ah Ruan on the way. When Ye Lanxin first saw Su Zhiyao, she didn't have a very good impression of her, she was fierce and rude, looking at Fu Ruan's eyes full of murder and hostility, Ah Ruan naturally knew it, but why did she follow them? Isn't she stupid?

"No, that girl is going for Zhao Jin. is hostile to Ah Ruan, perhaps because she is an imaginary rival. Song Qixuan was no longer worried about Fu Ruan's safety at this time, and now that he didn't have those bad things, he just wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Ye Lanxin, and then marry her into the door and give her a good name.

The Blackwater Lake is a large black lake, so that there is no smell, and the water is not deep, only up to the calves of horses.

"Cross this lake, enter the woods, and you'll be in the city." The bald man stopped Ma Yu in front of the case and turned back to Su Zhiyao and said.

Su Zhiyao's kung fu riding is still very good, but she has to take care of Fu Ruan to run so slowly, and Fu Ruan also knows deeply that she has dragged them back.

"Are you okay?" Su Zhiyao asked Fu Ruan, in the eyes of a chic and uninhibited heroine like her, a delicate girl like Fu Ruan is the most unpleasant, and most men like it, anyway, she is quite disgusted.

"It's okay, don't worry, I've mastered the knock on the horse, and you won't be able to catch up with me next time." The first two times I rode a horse was because I was rusty and worried that I would be thrown off the horse, but Fu Ruan still had the strength, didn't he just conquer a horse?

She had flowers on her lips, clamped her horse's belly and whipped her whip and ran towards the lake.

"Hey, hey, this little girl is quite interesting." The thin man said with his chin pinched.

The bald man struck him on the leg with a whip and scolded: "Holy shit, don't think about it, I'm afraid you won't have that life." ”

The thin man gave him a blank look, "I didn't say anything." ”

The bald man sneered, "You know if you're going to shit or fart as soon as you pout your ass." ”

"Okay, don't talk, we must rush to the border within ten days, otherwise, if you miss the time, you won't want to go back in your life." After Su Zhiyao finished speaking coldly, she chased Fu Ruan.

Fu Ruan didn't dare to ride too fast because he was scared at first, but now he feels good when he lets go of his courage.

When it was dark, the group arrived at Lincheng, and then found an inn to stay.

Su Zhiyao didn't bring any money Fu Ruan knew, so she should pay for it, but this time Fu Ruan didn't say anything, anyway, he replied last night that Su Zhiyao would protect her all the way.

Seven people sat together and ordered a few side dishes, Fu Ruan and Su Zhiyao didn't drink, and a few men asked for a pound of daughter red.

"The world is going to be in chaos again, I heard that the border gate city has been occupied by the Nanyi people, and Yanqiu is going to attack Pingyang."

"If Pyeongyang is occupied, it will launch an attack on Jinju, and once it is lost, ......"

"Don't say that, it's the King of War who led the troops this time. A few years ago, the war king was seriously injured, and it took ten years to change peace, and now his body has long recovered as before, and he will definitely be able to leave no piece of armor left behind by Nanyi and Yanqiu. ”

"I heard that there is also General Xiao Yu."

"......" Several people looked at each other and said baldly: "Miss, the border pass is occupied by the enemy, and they should settle down in Pingyang." It shouldn't take long to get from Lincheng to Binh Duong. ”

Su Zhiyao nodded and did not speak.

After eating, Fu Ruan took a shower and went to bed.

I was already exhausted from this journey, and I fell asleep next to the bed.

In the second half of the night, Fu Ruan was in a light sleep, and vaguely noticed that someone seemed to have walked in the house, and then opened her eyes suddenly, she just opened her mouth to speak, and was covered by someone, only to hear Su Zhiyao's voice ringing in her ears: "Shhh, don't speak." ”

Then he picked up Fu Ruan and tiptoed out of the room, his movements were very cautious, Fu Ruan's eyes rolled, and he asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Before Su Zhiyao could answer her, she saw the bald man and the others flashing over from there and said, "Miss, everyone in the inn has been killed by them, let's get out of here quickly." ”

A few people walked downstairs lightly, and occasionally they could hear the sound of other rooms coming out of the room before they could cry out in pain, and in this silent night, the hearts of those who listened were terrified.

"I'll count three and we'll run straight out." Su Zhiyao said.

"One, two......" Before he could count to three, he heard a voice from upstairs, "There are still people down there, don't let them run." ”

The men ran out of the inn as fast as they could, then got on their horses and kept running.

The men couldn't catch up, and they disappeared in a few moments.

The crowd slowed down and gasped.

Fu Ruan then asked, "Who are those?" ”

"The mountain bandits are about to be in chaos today, and these bandits will take the opportunity to make trouble." The bald man snorted softly and said disdainfully.

"But they are too unconscionable, how can they casually take other people's lives." Fu Ruan's hands trembled, and he also knew that some people in the troubled times turned from people to snakes and scorpions in order to survive, but in an instant.

"That's what human nature is. Later, you'll see a lot more. Su Zhiyao shook her head and said helplessly.

Fu Ruan doesn't understand, why can't he share the peace of the world? What do you have to do to make the world like hell? Don't they know how many lives it takes to invade other countries? What exactly is the Lord? The real masters will only put themselves last, as the so-called monarch is light for the people, and the society is secondary, but they obviously only stand on their own desires.

The journey was peaceful, and it wasn't until they arrived in Binh Duong ten days later that they knew what was shocking.

Most of the people fled from the border gates, and some were seriously injured and occupied the streets, making them extremely crowded.

Most of them looked hurried and indifferent, and there was no one to help.

As they walked down the street with their horses, some people stretched out their hands and begged for food.

Fu Ruan didn't give it, but went to the county lord of Pingyang.

The gate of the county government was closed, and the bald man called his subordinates to report but was directly ignored, so he was hacked to death by the thin man, and the group swaggered in.

When they entered the county government, Fu Ruan and the others were dumbfounded, the people outside were poorly clothed and hungry, but the county lord was eating and drinking here.

And the county lord's family obviously didn't expect someone to break in for such a plain reason, and the hand holding the chicken leg looked at a few people in the air in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to their senses and point to a few people: "Who are you?" How did you break in? ”

The bald man walked over with the thin man, kicked him away, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched them on the table full of delicacies, and sighed: "Sure enough, when the matter comes, it is still the most enjoyable for you to be officials." ”

The county lord hurriedly shouted, "Come on, arrest these assassins." ”

Assassin? After a few days, they looked at each other, and then they wanted to laugh a little.

"Scream, everyone outside has been knocked out by us, and no one will pay attention to you even if you cut your throat." Su Zhiyao said.

"Who the hell are you? was so rude to the court officials. The county lord's wife said weakly.

"The Imperial Court? Have you seen the misery of the people outside?" Fu Ruan shouted.

The county lord bowed his head and pretended to be dumb.

"Let me ask you, where are the warriors and horses settled down at this time?" Fu Ruan asked.

The county lord was stunned, they didn't hear that the king of war brought people and horses, since the border pass was occupied by the Nanyi people, most of the refugees fled, and sometimes there were bandits and grass coars, making Pingyang look like this, this is not what he wants to see.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Su Zhiyao and Fu Ruan's faces became ugly.

"War King, haven't they arrived in Pingyang yet?" The bald man asked after giving the county lord a slap.

Hearing this, the county lord's eyes lit up, "Has the imperial court already sent someone?" That Binh Duong was saved. However, we have not heard that the war king came to Binh Duong. ”

Several people were confused......

"You immediately settle down the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of those displaced people, and the king of war will come to Pingyang, and if he sees you treating the people like this, he will not spare you." After speaking, Fu Ruan put down a few silver tickets, "These silver tickets are all used to buy food and medicinal materials, and they all have to be used on the people outside, if I know that you have swallowed it privately, I will take you to feed the dogs." ”

"Don't dare, I will definitely do everything the girl said." The county lord licked his face and said.

After leaving the county government, Su Zhiyao asked, "Where are we going now?" ”

"Go to the border." Fu Ruan said, his eyes were resolute.

"......" Su Zhiyao didn't plan to go to the border pass, she wanted to stay here and wait for Zhao Jinlin, but she didn't feel at ease Fu Ruan.

"You don't want to go, do you? But Zhao Jinlin and they will go to the border sooner or later. As for whether Binh Duong will come, it is still a question. Fu Ruan said.

Fu Ruan is right, what if they don't come to Binh Duong? And the border is a must.

"Let's go together and take care of each other." Su Zhiyao said.

……

Gu Tingyun was originally going to Pingyang, but the news they got was that Yanqiu had already sent people to ambush there, and as soon as they entered, even the people in the city would suffer, so they went directly over the mountain to the foot of Bianguan City, where there was a mountain col.

This mountain col is huge, the mountains and rivers are clear and clear, and the surrounding terrain is steep and densely wooded, which is really advantageous for them to hide.

During this period of time, Nanyi and Yanqiu did not directly fight against Pingyang here, because they were infighting.

Obviously, both countries sent people to attack the border pass, but they alone let Nanyi occupy the border pass.

Yanqiu originally wanted to fight Pingyang and occupy it, but he was afraid of falling into the mud, so he arranged an ambush of 3,000 soldiers outside Pingyang, if the people and horses of Liangguo came, even if they couldn't sneak attack, at least they knew how many iron cavalry the other side had, and they had prepared all the best measures to deal with the opponent's counterattack.

Although Nanyi turned his face and didn't recognize people, he was very disdainful, but now they are grasshoppers on a rope, and they can't completely fall out, for fear that Liangguo will take advantage of it.

After Gu Tingyun settled the people, he decided to go to Bianguan City to see how it went, and by the way, he was inquiring about Zheng Yi's news.

However, what he didn't expect was that Fu Ruan would arrive at Border Pass City one step ahead of them.

At this time, Fu Ruan and his entourage have changed into the costumes of the Nanyi people, the Nanyi women's hair likes to be braided into small braids, and then they wear tassels on their heads, and their short clothes are embroidered with complicated patterns, the most is a hundred birds, and the lower body is a pleated skirt embroidered with a phoenix, and the most common jewelry is a bell, which makes a crisp sound when walking.

The men's clothes are robes, which are very different from the costumes of the Central Plains people, who are very elegant, while the clothes of the Nanyi are more concise, mainly dark colors, and the most common embroidered are antlers......

It's quite strange, I like to embroider antlers on my clothes, followed by unicorns.

There are no Liangguo people in the border pass city, all of them are Nanyi people, and occasionally you can see a few Yanqiu people, and they can't understand what they say.

"Oops, aren't we going to talk to it?" Fu Ruan said.

Su Zhiyao showed a smile and comforted her: "Don't worry, Chang Qingshan can speak Nanyi." ”

Fu Ruan was a little surprised, how could he speak Nanyi?

"Because he's a Nanyi man." Su Zhiyao seemed to know what she was thinking, and then said again.

"But why is he still with you in Liangguo?" Fu Ruan was even more surprised.

"Ten years ago, I was only eight years old, because I was born with different pupils, I was regarded as an ominous person, my mother was burned alive by the chief's subordinates because she let me go, and then I fled to the Central Plains, fortunately I met the eldest lady." The young man standing on the side suddenly spoke, and Fu Ruan looked at him.

When the young man saw Fu Ruan looking at him, he lifted the blindfold on his right eye.

To be honest, the few people who followed Su Zhiyao's side, Fu Ruan had never looked at it seriously, but after listening to Chang Qingshan's words this time, she looked at it, and sure enough, she saw that one of his eyes was silver-white, and it looked like a strange feeling.

"The eldest lady didn't dislike me, I have a different pair of eyes." When I first saw him, my eyes were just curious.

"It's pretty good, it's like the white clouds in the sky are full of streamers." Fu Ruan smiled.

"......" Chang Qingshan was stunned, a few wisps of blush floated across his face, and no one had ever praised his beautiful eyes.

"You go and inquire about who is from Nanyi who is guarding the border gate city now?" Su Zhiyao said.

Chang Qingshan nodded and put on the blindfold again, and went to a restaurant to inquire.

After a while, he came out, and he said to Su Zhiyao: "It's Princess Hanyue, the daughter of the leader of Nanyi." I heard from the people inside that the border gate city was originally occupied, and the people of Nanyi and Yanqiu should be half each, but Princess Hanyue forcibly monopolized it because of her sweetheart, which led to the beginning of infighting between the two parties. ”

"Princess Hanyue's sweetheart? Is it difficult or we are not in the cool country? Fu Ruan guessed.

"The girl guessed right, but it was." Chang Qingshan nodded.

It's over, is Zheng Yi going to be arrested to be Nanyi's concubine? If that were the case, he wouldn't have given in.

"Can I sneak in tonight, I want to see if the princess's sweetheart is someone I know." Fu Ruan said.

"It's dangerous, we'll be dead if we find out." Su Zhiyao was shocked, now the city is full of Nanyi people, if this is discovered, it is completely looking for death.

"......" Fu Ruan understood, but he was a little unwilling.

If Princess Hanyue really likes Zheng Yi, wouldn't it be possible for Zheng Yi to talk to Princess Hanyue and let Nanyi stop the invasion of Liangguo.
