On the sheep's intestine path, the dry grass was half a man high, and it was covered with a layer of snow.

"Why don't you go the official way?" Ran Ziming asked. The pipelines are spacious, and there are post stations at intervals for rest and food and grass supplies. "Little sister! You can't be serious, right? ”

Ran Ziming thought of the words that Ran Ziyu was going to part ways with his father in front of the mansion.

"I'm serious!" Ran Ziyu carefully discerned the road ahead, "Father will definitely take the official road, then we will smuggle the road, as for grain, grass and supplies, there are always people on the road, and I also brought some silver tickets." Enough is enough. ”

"How is it enough, we are not far from the city now, and there are many villages, but because Yecheng is the richest, when we stay in the wild land in the south, even if we walk for three days, there may not be a home. So many of us, even if we have money, the wilderness people are small and small, and we can't afford to provide supplies. And your silver ticket must be exchanged at the money bank before it can be used. ”

Ran Ziming paused, watching Ran Ziyu's expression change, "The southern ethnic groups live in the jungles and mountains, in order to defend against the enemy, there are countless traps, poisonous bees and poisonous insects are invincible, and there are even misty forests, once you enter, don't think about it again." How long can we last? ”

Ran Ziyu was stunned for a moment, worthy of being a person who has been in Nanban for nearly three years, and she is much more thoughtful than she is when she thinks about things.

"Little sister, my father's kindness is also to protect you, and how can any girl go to the battlefield?" Ran Ziming pulled the reins, and the horse walked smoothly but very slowly.

Ran Ziyu lowered his head and pondered, and finally said calmly: "Yu'er knows that she is wrong. "Turn over and jump off the horse.

"Yu'er, let's go back." Ran Ziyu raised his head and smiled at Ran Ziming.

Ran Ziming couldn't help but feel relieved, the little sister was quite sensible. Pointing at two more elite soldiers, "You! And you! The two of you send the little lady home. ”

Ran Ziyu hurriedly waved his hand, "No! No more! He smiled and said: "The second brother is not unaware of Yu'er's skills, Yu'er will go back by himself, if something really happens, Yu'er will save them, second brother, take back your life!" ”

"You girl!" Ran Ziming smiled and shook his head, with the skills of his little sister, the thief saw it, and he only had to flee for his life. "Go back quickly, and wait for us to triumph."

"Hmm."

Ran Ziming watched the blood-red figure on horseback get smaller little by little, until he couldn't see it anymore, and then he galloped with a whip. Nanban is notoriously difficult, and the little sister is still relatively safe in the mansion.

After ten days of hard trekking, outside the tavern at the entrance of Dongwu Village, soldiers sat on the ground to drink and distribute dry food. The shopkeeper's sixty-year-old woman walked around the soldiers with her half-grown grandson, and when she saw that anyone didn't have enough wine in their bowl, she would add some.

In the tavern, a plate of corn tortillas and a small half-pot of yellow rice porridge sit on a boxy and dilapidated wooden table.

Ran Shicang sat on the top seat, put the sword on the table, and sat Ran Zijing and Ran Ziming on both sides.

"Father! The little sister has gone back knowing her mistake! The little sister is still young, and I hope my father will not pursue it! Ran Ziming said cautiously. persuaded the little sister to go back, and he took the people back to the official road. However, every time I went to a post station, I was told that my father had left. Fortunately, ten days later, he caught up with his father and eldest brother.

Ran Shicang sighed, this daughter is really exactly the same as her mother, and she still wants to go to the battlefield. "I'll talk about it later." After that, he looked at Ran Zijing coldly.

After the retreat of the Central Plains army, the patriarch of the Yusheng tribe, the largest tribe in the Southern Barbarians, wantonly seized and seized several other tribes, which had the intention of revealing an uprising. Originally, Ran Zijing and Ran Ziming were punished to come to Nanban, fought dozens of battles with the Yusheng clan, and captured Nong Yunzi, the patriarch of the Yusheng clan. But they believed in her false surrender, let the tiger return to the mountain, united all ethnic groups, and slowly approached the Central Plains. caused the Ran family to crack again.

"On the battlefield, you are afraid of soft-heartedness, and you are even more afraid of children's affection." Ran Shicang said coldly. Jing'er was his first child, and he was also the child he put the most effort into, personally taught him martial arts, personally taught him to read and write, and took him to the battlefield when he grew up.... He knew the child even better than Mrs. Si. Decisive in killing, happy revenge, this is his Jing'er.

Softhearted? This time, he wanted to see how the little southern barbarian girl made Jing'er soft-hearted.

Ran Zijing had a handsome face, lowered his head slightly, and the hand on his knee was clenched, and his cold eyes overflowed with a trace of hatred and disgust.

Nong Yun Purple.

Seeing this, Ran Ziming couldn't say anything, and secretly worried about Ran Zijing. On that day, the Yusheng clan and other tribes forced them into the misty forest, and it was the eldest brother who sacrificed himself to find a way to survive for them.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The neat voice of a soldier came from outside the door.

The three of them immediately stood up and saluted. "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An! ”

The tall and slender man was clad in a formidable battle armor, and a crown of silver and purple clouds tied up his black hair high. A pair of cold Danfeng eyes are sharp and solemn, under a tall nose, thin lips are tightly closed. swept over the three people in front of him, "What about Yu'er?" ”

On that day, when he went down to the court, he stopped her and said that he would go to Nanban with her. She disagreed, and later had to move out of the identity of the prince to follow his wishes.

Ran Ziming replied: "My little sister has been persuaded by me to go back, why should such a fight and killing involve her." ”

Xuanyuan Cheng half-lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "General Anguo is right, Yu'er really shouldn't come here. "It's a dangerous place, and he doesn't want her to get hurt a bit.

Ran Shicang was very disgusted that Xuanyuan Cheng came with a large number of soldiers and horses, just for a woman, even though that woman was his youngest daughter. "The old man's daughter has gone back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go to the Guogong Mansion to find her."

Xuanyuan Cheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Since this palace is here, how can you retreat without a fight." And to calm the side and let the people live in peace is the heavy responsibility of the palace as the prince of Dayue. ”

Ran Zijing snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart." "Who doesn't know that this prince can't get used to the regent, and is eager to make contributions to increase his bargaining chips.

Ran Shicang glared at him, and he lowered his head slightly.

The four sat down.

Ran Zijing took out the topographic map of the Southern Barbarians, and Ran Ziming took out the former Southern Barbarian battle map. The four of them thought about the two drawings and discussed.

In a remote courtyard in Dongwu Village, a young girl dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat. The serpentine totem of the Yusheng tribe, the largest tribe in the south, is embroidered on a dark coarse cloth robe. The sleeves of the shirt reached the wrist, revealing a small snow-white and delicate forearm. Holding a yellow mirror, he shone back and forth. A pair of extremely charming eyes are bent, and the corners of the lips are smiling. The blood-red spirit snake outlined in the center of the eyebrows adds a seductive demonic aura.

Behind her, a fat middle-aged woman in a dark blue headscarf was parting her hair in strands and braiding them into thin braids. The women of the Yusheng clan are all good at whipping braids. After a while, she braided her full head of water-length hair into small braids and hung down behind her.

Ran Ziyu nodded with satisfaction, this outfit should be appropriate.

After unraveling the fat woman's acupoint, the fat woman coughed a few times and looked at Ran Ziyu cautiously and fearfully.

Fortunately, a lot of things about the Yusheng clan were found from Ran Ziming's mouth, including totems and service, so he was able to find such a family from the Yusheng clan in this Dongwu village.

The further south you go, the warmer it gets. Winter clothing such as fur cloaks is no longer worn. Good words asked the owner of the house for a piece of clothing, but did not agree. So he bought it with five taels of silver tickets, and this person was good, and she must use all the silver tickets to buy it. Probably looking at the excellent color of the cloak she wears, and being alone with such a little girl, I think that rich people are stupid and easy to bully.

It is true that Ran Ziyu is not easy to mess with. He took out the whip and lightly whipped the master of the house, and honestly, he didn't want the silver ticket, and called his criing fat wife to help her. kept crying, Ran Ziyu was annoyed, so she clicked on her dumb.

"There's poison on my whip." Ran Ziyu looked at the already gray sky, and said lightly: "In the whole world, only I can solve it." ”

The fat woman knelt on the ground, hugged Ran Ziyu's legs, and howled sadly: "Please ask the girl to save the master!" It's not easy for our family to move from Nanshui, if the head of the family is gone, how can we live! ”

The vulgar man curled up by the door was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and the five boys beside him were supporting him, staring at Ran Ziyu with fear and hatred.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Ran Ziyu smiled lightly, "Today I will stay here, and tomorrow morning, I will prepare the antidote, how about it?" ”

"Good! Good! Whatever the girl says, it's what it is! The fat woman wiped away her tears in a panic and got up from the ground, "I'll go make the girl's bed!" ”

At night, Ran Ziyu returned from the entrance of the village and was burning the clothes she had changed. Suddenly, I heard a woman's heart-rending cry from the next room. Throw the clothes in your hand into the fire and stick them against the wall to listen carefully.

A baby's cry was strong.

Ran Ziyu smiled. It turns out that someone has given birth, think about an old head of this family, five boys.... So it's the fat woman who is giving birth! The woman looked so fat, she was pregnant.

Another powerful and high-pitched baby cry came....

Yo! Or twins. Ran Ziyu unconsciously smiled deeply and naturally, but he heard the fat woman's faint and tired voice, "Slow.... Slow..."

"Ahh

With a wave of the whip, he hit the hands of the man in charge who was holding up the hot water tub.

The man cried out in pain, and the basin covered the ground, and hot water spilled into the mud, making a sizzling sound. A small baby girl, with her red skin covered with shiny blisters, threw it at his feet, wrapped in a little mud on the ground. Motionless, apparently out of breath.

The fat woman on the broken bed had a slick face, and she didn't know whether it was sweat or tears. Still trembling, "Slow....", his eyes were red when he was caught in the middle of the fat.

"Stop..."Ran Ziyu clenched his fists, but his voice trembled a little. No matter how much it is a life, no matter how it is the flesh and blood that fell from them, how to give it up, how to get it.

The man in charge complained in a low voice: "It's just cheap meat that loses money." ”

"Girl, it's right to be in charge, please go back to rest quickly." The fat woman covered her face and cried, and the other baby girl at the end of the bed was still crying, unaware that her closest sister had died.

Ran Ziyu was so angry that he trembled, what is a cheap meat that loses money! After standing for a long time, he took out a silver ticket and threw it down, and went to hug the baby girl.

casually pulled some rags on the bed and wrapped the baby girl, and gently held it in her arms, "I bought this child." ”
