Ruyi got into the first carriage with Wu Ming, without tying his hands and feet, nor covering his eyes. The two didn't speak along the way, Ruyi leaned against the window and pretended to sleep, and Wu Ming drank tea alone on the other side.

After a long time, Wu Ming slowly spoke, "Don't you have anything to ask curiously?" ”

Ruyi opened his eyes and replied nonchalantly: "If I ask, will you answer?" ”

Wu Mingwan smiled: "This is really not necessarily, you can ask and try." ”

Ruyi looked at Wu Mingluo and said thoughtfully: "You know me, right?" ”

Wu Ming suddenly laughed, "What a smart girl! You saved my life when I was a kid. ”

Ruyi frowned unconsciously, "You can still recognize me." ”

Wu Ming said a little proudly: "I was born to never forget, so I naturally recognize you." ”

"So that's how you repay your savior?" Ruyi glanced at him.

Wu Ming didn't answer, just returned the jade pendant to Ruyi, and said coldly: "Don't bother thinking in vain, honestly wait for Wei Pop to save you." In the next two days, the two did not communicate much, and they both did their own things in the carriage.

On the fifth day of the Wei Capital Rebellion, Marquis Wu of Wei issued an edict to appoint His Royal Highness as the prince and marry the princess of Qin.

In a remote town, Wu Ming said to Ruyi with a smile after reading the edict posted by the city gate: "It seems that I made a mistake, you see that someone has married another beautiful woman." ”

Ruyi didn't say anything and turned back to the carriage, she was very happy to know that her cousin had saved the day, and she didn't want anything else, so there was nothing to be provoked.

Wu Ming returned to the carriage and said with a low smile: "It seems that he will not come to save you, what are you going to do?" ”

Ruyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to let me go?" I'm going to Yunmeng Mountain. ”

Wu Mingyi heard Yun Mengshan ask, "What do you have to do with Ghost Valley?" ”

"It's my master."

Wu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll sell the Ghost Valley to save face and send you to Yunmeng Valley." ”

Ruyi's crisp reply was quite surprising. Wu Ming is an impenetrable person, and he treats himself with him for a few days. also talked about the time he saved him. Or did he unintentionally raise his hands before he lost his memory. At that time, he was still a teenager, and he was somehow stranded in the palace and was searched, and she hid him in her carriage and took him out of the palace.

Wu Ming didn't let Ruyi ponder for too long, and Wu Ming took out two human skins from the embroidered bag he was carrying. The mask was handed to Ruyi: "This is for you, it can be regarded as a life-saving grace to return you." ”

Ruyi took the mask and looked at it carefully, the mask was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the mechanism was clearly visible, which was beyond the ability of ordinary people. But Ruyi has some diaphragms in her heart, it won't really be taken off from the face of a living person.

Wu Ming saw Ruyi's hesitation and chuckled: "Don't worry, this is not a killing." ”

Ruyi also knew that this was really rare, so he put down the knots in his heart and praised sincerely: "The scholar with a thousand faces, it really deserves his reputation." ”

Besides, Pang Juan and Sun Bin finally arrived in Weidu after two days of travel, and on the way they had already learned that the identity of the old man was the prime minister's uncle, and they also had a general understanding of the situation of the Weidu Rebellion, and they also heard Uncle Acne introduce Wu Ming, it turned out that his master was the famous Wu Qi, and Wu Ming was also half of Wu Qi's son.

As soon as the three of them entered the city, they saw the edicts of the Marquis of Wu posted everywhere. Uncle acne has gone through hardships, and at this time he called the sky with eyes.

Uncle Acne took Pang Juan into the palace to report, and Sun Bin took Su Ruiqing to wait for the order at the post station outside the palace.

Su Ruiqing saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and he quickly thought of countermeasures. Along the way, Sun Bin treated her politely. Maybe she can try. "Brother Sun, I'm a little anxious."

Sun Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

"Brother Sun, you see that I am a weak woman, but Gongzi An promised my senior brother to keep me safe, and also said that as long as you are safe, he will let me go. But looking at this situation now, the old man can't wait to kill me to relieve his hatred, and you are safe now, is it time to let me go. Su Ruiqing's words were pitiful.

The implication is that Uncle Gong will definitely kill her when he comes back, and if you don't let me go, I will not keep my promise. Sun Bin also felt a little pity for her, and seriously thought about Su Ruiqing's words, which did make some sense. Sun Bin is an honest and reasonable person.

Since Sun Bin has determined the reason, he did not delay and said: "The girl has some truth, but my junior brother is still in the hands of Senior Brother Ling, I don't know if it is safe, so I can't let you go yet, but for your safety, it is indeed not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Leave me a letter. ”

Su Ruiqing was very happy when she saw that Sun Bin was moved, and looked at Sun Bin a little more pleasing to the eye, "I believe you, Brother Sun." ”

Sun Bin left a letter for Pang Juan, briefly explained the reason, and left the post station with Su Ruiqing to find Ruyi. When Pang Juan returned to the post station, what he saw was such a letter. Pang Juan was a little annoyed that Sun Bin didn't say goodbye, but he was also a little glad in his heart, because only the three of them knew about the fork in Hangu Pass, and now that the two people who knew the inside story were not there, no one would know. It's just a pity that I didn't say goodbye to Miss Su.

Wei Poppy knew that Ruyi was in a hurry to be captive, and quickly sent an elite team to find it. Wei Poppy didn't know if Ruyi had seen the edict, Wuhou's body had been hollowed out and could no longer come to the court, and now the situation was unstable, with Wei Shu missing inside, and the Han Zhao Alliance was ready to move. Wei Poppy had to accept Wuhou's final arrangement and promised to marry the princess of Qin as an expedient measure.

Wei Poppy was very painful in his heart, but he had to go on firmly, and whenever he sat in the empty hall in the dead of night, a sense of powerlessness swept in. Wei Poppy sometimes thinks dejectedly, I don't know if I can still be with Ruyi in this life, and sometimes I cheer myself up like a chicken blood, when the situation is stable, the entire Wei country is mine, and when I want to be with Ruyi, who can stop me.

Wei Poppy was paradoxically tormented day after day, waiting for Ruyi's news. Regarding the matter of marrying the princess of Qin, he threw all the matters related to the prime minister who had just been rescued by Ruyi.

Ling Hu Yuan didn't have the secret pain in Wei Pop's heart, but he was even more anxious and worried than Wei Poppy. It's just that a series of things such as the city defense army have just been handed over, and the army's heart is unstable, so Hu Yuan can't leave at all.

By the time he finished his sleepless military work, it was already the third day after the Prime Minister's return. Early in the morning, he immediately entered the palace and asked Wei Poppy to be transferred back to the garrison.

"Linghu, are you going to abandon me too?" There was indescribable sentimentality in his voice, Wei Poppy had just experienced a night of contradictions, and his heart was depressed, and he was a little depressed for a while.

Ling Huyuan didn't know Wei Poppy's inner activities, organized his language, and analyzed rationally: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the domestic situation is initially stable, but Wei is surrounded by strong neighbors, and we have to guard against it. ”

In fact, Wei Poppy also knew that Linghu Yuan should not stay for a long time, and the periphery of Wei was not peaceful for a long time, and he just felt it just now. Now he has already calmed down, and he has also regained his self-control, "General Linghu, what you said is extremely true. Wait for the speed to return to the defense. ”

Linghu Yuan did not delay, clasped his fists and saluted, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Linghu Yuan went back and pulled out the defense, without a moment's delay.

Wei Poppy sat in his father's bedroom, looked at his sleeping father on the couch and said to himself: "I know that Linghu is looking for her, and I really want to stop him from looking for her, but I am more worried about her safety, and I hope that Linghu can find her." Actually, I also want to go to her, but Father, you have thrown all the mess of this country to me, and you have given me a princess of the Qin Kingdom, I dare not go to see her, I am afraid that she will be disappointed in me. ”

Wei Pop closed his eyes gently, his face was depressed, he still looked like a high-spirited king, just a teenager trapped by love.

Ling Huyuan arranged for the army to march normally, and he took Qingfeng Qingying day and night, and arrived at the place where Pang Juan said in less than two days. Ling Huyuan looked at the surrounding environment on the map, and did not delay and planned to continue his journey.

At this time, Sun Bin and Su Ruiqing were also resting in a tea shed not far from where they separated. Along the way, Sun Bin took good care of Su Ruiqing, she said she was thirsty, Sun Bin immediately handed over water, she said she was hungry, so she immediately handed over dry food, she said she wanted to rest for a while, Sun Bin would try to find a clean and comfortable place to rest, but she didn't talk much along the way, and she didn't talk much, but Su Ruiqing was still secretly happy in her heart, she felt that she liked this introverted and upright man a little.

She brought Sun Bin here to find clues left by her senior brother, to see if her senior brother had any arrangements, she had already found the person who stayed by her senior brother to pick her up, and she also knew that if her senior brother left, she would let her go back to Zhao directly. But when she looked at the handsome and white scholar in front of her, she felt a trace of reluctance in her heart.

"Brother Sun, where are we going to find them next?" Su Ruiqing asked tentatively.

Sun Bin briefly sketched the map he memorized in his heart, and said briefly: "I think they should have gone north, didn't the girl get the news?" ”

Su Ruiqing's heart sank, it turned out that he seemed to be gentle and harmless, but in fact, his heart was like a mirror. I knew that she had already connected with her own people. The little charm in my heart disappeared in an instant.

"Now that Childe knows about it, why are you still willing to come with me?" Su Ruiqing asked lightly.

Sun Bin looked at Su Ruiqing puzzled, "I thought the girl wanted to take her down to find them." ”

Su Ruiqing punched the cotton, feeling a little powerless in her heart, and she didn't know if Sun Bin was wise and foolish, or if he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. However, she really began to think about whether she should take him to find her senior brother and find Gongzi An.

In Liyang, the capital of Qin, a carriage rushed through the main street towards the palace, and the young maid on the carriage persuaded with kind words: "Don't worry, princess, the Hou Ye loves you so much, there must be room for turnaround." ”

The woman on the main seat, wearing a veil on her head, couldn't see her face clearly, and couldn't see her expression clearly, so she only heard a sneer and said softly: "Love? ”

In the palace of King Qin, the crown prince Qu Liang was in the bedroom of his father, Qin Xiangong, "Father, do you really plan to let your sister go and kiss?" ”

Xian Gong stood in front of the map and was silent for a long time, "What do you think of the land in Hexi?" ”

Qu Liang walked to the map and pointed to a large area of land in Hexi and said: "There is a large area of land here, the soil is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, suitable for farming and grazing, and it is the throat road leading to the Central Plains in the west." ”

"This large piece of land was originally ours, but now it belongs to the Wei State." Xiangong's voice was full of regret and unwillingness, "The eastern conquest and the recovery of Hexi failed, and we had to recuperate and wait for the next battle." We need time, and I don't want Man'er to go to harmony if I can. ”

After listening to his father's words, Qu Liang was silent, he knew that his father was right, but when he thought that his sister, who had been close to him since childhood, was going to marry away from another country, he felt uncomfortable, and the safety of a country depended on a woman to maintain how to think about how to be aggrieved, although he was still a little emotionally unbearable, but intellectually he had already recognized his father. It's just that I secretly made up my mind in my heart that I would never let my sister Bai sacrifice her happiness, and I must recover Hexi.

As soon as the father and son finished speaking, they heard the palace people outside the palace shouting, "The princess asks to see her." As the words fell, a graceful figure had arrived in front of him, "I've seen my father, I've seen my brother." After leaning over and saluting, he slowly got up and looked up. This person is the princess of Qin State, Yingman.
