Smoke curled from the village, and in the courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences and mud, a woman dressed in blue sat at the gate, looking ahead.

"Sister, are you still counting on him to come back?" The voice of the stone sounded behind him, "Yesterday, Tian Ma planned to tell you a family matter, that kid is a character on the rich side of Minglan, don't worry about eating and drinking, or you-"

I plan to speak to him, "Who said Hu Jingfeng won't come back!" Then he got up and prepared to go back to the house, and it seemed that he would not be back today.

"It's strange that I was imprisoned by the emperor and can come back." A voice was muttering behind him.

"What did you just say?" I looked at him in surprise, what did he mean by that?

"No, nothing, I didn't say anything just now, you heard me wrong." Stone hurriedly explained.

I picked up the broom next to me, and I didn't believe that he didn't tell me the truth. Seeing this, the stone jumped far away, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I just said it." Then he told me the news he had heard, it turned out that the emperor blamed Hu Jingfeng for making a private decision to cede the territory, and all the ministers and the people demanded that Hu Jingfeng be killed, and he was in a prison in the palace at this time.

"Hey, I'm not done yet?"

But where can I take care of him, I can't wait to pack my luggage and go back to the capital immediately, but it is dark at this time, and it will take time to find a carriage.

Seeing that I was packing my luggage, Shi Shi asked in surprise, "You don't want to go to the palace to die, do you?" ”

"He's me...... My good friend also saved me, so I naturally want to save him. He replied without stopping. Tomorrow at dawn, I'll go look for the carriage.

"You're crazy, entering the palace now is tantamount to death, and you're not a real princess." Unexpectedly, he heard the conversation with Wuyu in prison that day.

I still didn't speak, and continued to pack my things: silver, dry food, and the rest of what Hu Jingfeng brought with me last time, I was all wrapped in a baggage.

I didn't hear the sound of the stone for a long time, and I looked up in surprise to see him take out a few flatbreads and green onions from the kitchen and put them in a bag, "What are you doing here?" ”

"What can you do, of course, to accompany you to death. I found you a rich man, you don't want to eat and drink, you want to die......" He said and I held back a smile, this kid is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Finally, he tied his burden, turned his head and whispered to me, "But it's best not to let Tian's mother know about this matter, so as not to worry her." ”

I nodded, I had to come up with a proper reason......

When the two of us hid the baggage, Tian's mother happened to come back from the door, and as soon as she entered the door, she said happily: "Just now, that kid from the Wu family praised our Xiaolan girl for her wisdom and beauty, and said that she would find a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow." Tian Ma said as she poured herself a glass of water to drink. I looked at each other with the stone, I didn't know how to say it, I knew that Tian's mother was well-intentioned, but ......

"Tian Ma, I'll be tomorrow-"

"Tian's mother, are we going to Beijing tomorrow to catch the exam?" The stone said as he took a step forward from me.

"Rushing for the exam?" Tian Ma looked puzzled.

"Yes, I've been working hard for the past few years...... Reading books, just waiting for the day when they can benefit the people. "It's a lie...... I was so ashamed that I didn't even dare to look at him.

"Good, good!" Tian's mother said hello three times in a row, "You go, just keep me and Xiaolan at home." ”

"No, my sister has to go too, she has to help me lead the way, I haven't been to the capital, she has been. Isn't that sister? The stone was aggrieved and shouted at me again, and the sound of my sister was sweet and greasy, so that I couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Yes...... Yes, Tian Ma, I am familiar with the road to the capital. I said without confidence.

Tian Ma looked at me, looked at the stone again, thought for a while, and sighed, "Since this is the case, then you go to the capital first, although the Xiqi country is the enemy country of our dynasty, but you two are my children, so it doesn't matter which country it is." She thought of something again, and became happy, "When you come back, I'll find a family for Xiaolan again." ”

Still looking for? I smiled bitterly in my heart, it seems that next time I come back, I should bring Hu Jingfeng back for Tian Ma to see......

Early the next morning, before the rooster had crowed, I got up, and found that the stone had already found the carriage, and the boy was really getting more and more sensible, and I sighed with relief.

put the burden into the car, and was about to let the stone drive away, but Tian Ma ran over, I didn't expect Tian Ma to get up so early?

"This is the egg I boiled for you, and I ate it while it was hot on the way." As he spoke, he handed over a large bag, which was still warm to the touch.

"Tian Ma ......" I don't know why my voice choked up, and my eyes were wet.

Tian Ma smiled, "What are you crying about, it's a good thing to go to Beijing to catch the exam, Tian Ma is waiting for you to come back at home." I nodded my head and was speechless.

"Drive!" The stone went down, the horse moved, and Tian Ma gradually disappeared into the dust flying behind her......

"Stone, when we come back, will we live with Tian's mother in Minglan until we are old?"

"I've already said that, but you don't listen to ......"

"Is there one?"

"Yes."

Well, I may not have understood the importance of home, and the truth is plain.

A day later, I came to the border of the Western Frontier Kingdom, and when I saw the camp where I once lived, I was stunned and a little nostalgic for the barracks life before.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?" The stone slowed the carriage down. I lowered the curtain and shook my head. The carriage was about to move on, but suddenly it came to a sudden stop.

I lifted the curtain and asked the stone, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's a soldier in front."

I went to see it, and although I don't remember his name, I will always remember the black mole in the corner of his eye. "Why are you here?" I hurriedly got out of the carriage and looked at his expressionless face curiously, "You're not hurt, are you?" "The carriage had just stopped so quickly, I don't know if he was hurt by the horse.

"I'm fine, it's General Hu who has something to do." He said angrily, and there was a look on his face as if I had a deep hatred for him.

"I know, so I'm about to rush to the palace to save -" I explained, and I only found out yesterday.

"You know a!" He suddenly became excited.

"Hey, how can you scold people casually, do you believe me or not—"

"It's okay stone, listen to him." I stopped the stone that was about to be violently settled, and first saw what he said, and maybe there was something else I didn't know.

"At that time, the emperor's holy decree came down and said that General Hu must take you back to the palace, but I didn't expect you to be good, so I secretly ran away overnight, and let General Hu go to the palace alone to ask for guilt. Now that everyone is in prison, are you still pretending to be kind here? He sneered, looking at me with murderous intent in his eyes.

"If General Hu dies, you won't survive." After saying the last sentence, he didn't look back. He also carried a wooden barrel with several small fish in it.

"Hey, it's clear that the general deliberately let us go, what do you mean by sneaking away?" The stone couldn't hold back any longer and shouted to the figure, but the figure in front of him didn't look back, and he didn't know if he heard it.

Stone stood on the carriage, and I pulled him to sit down, "That's it, he'll understand later." Now it's imperative to hurry up. "I got into the carriage, and I don't know how Hu Jingfeng is doing now.

"Hmph, that is, you Ma Shan was bullied, if it were me, see if I didn't beat him up."

"Poof, with your body, none of the three can beat one of him." I laughed out loud, not because I laughed at him, but because of his small size, I could really only outwit him.

"You're underestimating me, drive!" He was disgruntled.

Don't talk back to him anymore, after all, he is a hard-mouthed teenager, so let him go......

In less than half a month, this time it was fast, and finally came to the lively capital.

After getting out of the carriage, I walked all the way with the stone and entered the gate of the capital, only to find that today seemed to be much more lively than I remembered.

The stone grabbed a person, "Is there going to be something good happening in this capital?" Someone can't be throwing money, right? After saying that, he wiped his saliva. I rolled my eyes inwardly, and sure enough, I still regarded money as my life as always.

"Then you're thinking too much. But something good happened, I heard that the rebellious General Hu would be beheaded in a few days, and I heard that he not only gave the enemy two territories privately, but also lost Princess Oude. This traitor deserves it, and we're all celebrating. ”

"......I see," the stone said, and when the man walked away, he turned his head to look at me again, and said cautiously: "No way, whoever is traitorous and loyal has always been the emperor's opinion, and the people only see the appearance." ”

I sighed and smiled wryly, "I know...... It's just that now it's unpopular, and it's even harder to save him, and now I haven't thought of any good way to save him. "Go directly to the emperor, that's simply hitting a stone with an egg.

Unexpectedly, the stone smiled slyly, "Have you forgotten that you are a princess?" ”

"But I'm not really?"

"The people don't know that you are fake, since the emperor can take advantage of people's hearts, why can't we?" Stone continued.

I didn't understand what he was talking about, but I ......, "Wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of people like this?" I whispered. Isn't that = treating others as pawns? I don't want others to take advantage of it, and I know the stakes in it.

He frowned, "Then you can't save your lover?" ”

"Save, of course save!" I said in a hurry, and I didn't notice that he was talking about the word "lover".

"That's right." After saying that, he leaned close to my ear and said his plan in convulence. After listening, I looked at the young man in front of me with admiration, now his skin is no longer as dark as when the barracks were built, and the eyelashes on his big eyes flickered, and my intuition told me that I would ...... in the future This kid is definitely not simple.
