"Princess, don't blame Your Highness, in fact, Your Highness is a very good person. It's good to us, and it's also good to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but the responsibility on his shoulders is too heavy, so ......" Yuruo saw Bai Yucheng go out, lowered his eyelids and said to Ji Lianmei.

Bai Yucheng doesn't like to explain, and he treats Yuruo very well. If Your Highness does not want to say something, let the slave say it instead.

"Yuruo, you don't have to speak for him, I understand. Maybe I won't seek revenge on him, but I just can't forgive him, I can't forgive him for deceiving me, I can't forgive him for killing Ji Jingchen. Ji Lianmei put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a sluggish expression.

Seeing that Ji Lianmei was depressed again, Yuruo hurriedly changed the topic: "Princess, will you go back tomorrow?" If the rain is here tonight with you, and will send you away tomorrow morning, okay? ”

Ji Lianmei hugged Yuruo and said, "Yuruo, you are the person I trust the most now, so whether I am by your side or not, you have to live well, and I will live well." ”

"Uh-huh....."

The next day, the Wu-Song border.

"Princess Ji Lianmei, this is a burden and horses for you, my Royal Highness explained to me, this trip is far away, you should be more careful."

Ji Lianmei took the burden, looked into Xiao Yige's eyes, and asked, "Tell me, what's your name." ”

"Situ Che, the eldest son of General Situ's Mansion."

Ji Lianmei nodded.

Situ faction, she has heard a little. Situ clan, from the surname Ji, when Emperor Yao was the leader of the Yanhuang tribe, Shun was Yao's Situ official, in charge of and managing land affairs, so it was also known as Tusi. Some of Shun's descendants have their official surnames and are called Situ.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the son of Xia Wu, the great doctor of the Wei Dynasty, was appointed as Situ, and later also known as Situ. Situ is an ancient official name, and according to legend, it has been set up in the time of Yao and Shun, and is in charge of educating the people and administrative affairs. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the imperial court all had Situ Guan, one of the six secretaries, and his position was equivalent to that of the prime minister. In the Spring and Autumn Period, he became Situ's.

Tracing back to the origin, Situ Che and Ji Lianmei are also distant relatives, but now, the Situ family has become the courtiers of the Song people to plot against their own people, Ji Lianmei doesn't think that if there is less suspicion between the different factions of these families, the war in the Three Kingdoms period will not be so ordinary.

The ancients had the ancients' way of solving problems, and Ji Lianmei, as a person in an era of peace, couldn't understand and couldn't change this way of survival. Therefore, she chose to stay away from strife and the deceit of the royal family and nobles.

"Thank you, Situ Che, there will be no time in the future." Ji Lianmei shook off her burden.

Situ Che looked at Ji Lianmei's distant back, and returned to the camp to return to Bai Yucheng.

"Your Highness, Princess Ji Lianmei has already left. The Yulin guards have also set out to protect them secretly. ”

"Hmm." Bai Yucheng smiled slightly, practicing calligraphy leisurely.

Situ Che glanced at Bai Yucheng's expression, lowered his voice and asked, "Your Highness, will you let her go like this?" ”

"No problem." Bai Yucheng put down his pen, brewed a pot of tea, and just quietly watched the tea leaves rise and fall in the cup, his eyes were deep and soft, and the tea sank to the bottom of the cup, and he spoke again, "The only thing that supports her to live now is the world she calls it." After experiencing despair, she never had the idea of running away again. You say, isn't it? ”

"But, Your Highness, wouldn't that be too cruel? In case she can't think of it......"

"Situ, do you really think that girl is still the simple and weak girl she used to be? After all this series of events, she also learned to play tricks with me. She is gambling with me with her life, betting that I am reluctant to watch her die, and then, as long as she leaves the Great Song military camp, she will definitely go to Youzixian to send her back, and leave forever. If she can't let go of her hatred for me, this year will be enough time for her to plan to kill me. How could I live up to her painstaking efforts? ”

"Your Highness, since you know the inside story, why let her go and raise a tiger?"

Perhaps, there is still no escape from a love word, it can make people happy, but it can also drag people to hell.

Ji Lianmei, although it is a little cruel, but since everything is irreparable, I only hope that you can grow up and live well in this world. Even if I die at your hands, it doesn't matter.

Bai Yucheng is different from Ji Jingchen, Ji Jingchen is fond of Ji Lianmei, and Bai Yucheng's love is to help her grow up and adapt to the survival of this era through these ways. The former wants to protect her, while the latter thinks that it is impossible for him to protect her for a lifetime, and he can't always appear by her side to solve problems for her, hoping that she can learn to protect herself.

The Great Song military camp and Youzixian's residence need to cross most of the territory of the Wu Kingdom, and most of the roads are dense forests and hills. At this time, the carriage not only did not speed up the journey, but became a burden.

Ji Lianmei had to unload the carriage and lead the horses to walk.

At this time, it was June of the year of Zichou, and after nearly a month's journey, Ji Lianmei finally arrived at the capital of Wuyue, Gusu.

The current Gusu City has long been a matter of people. The once bustling streets were left with dilapidated shops, crouching in the corners begging, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and everyone had no smile on their faces, full of despair and numbness.

This seems to be the fulfillment of the sentence: prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

Because Ji Jingchen was robbed, Wu Yue's reigning ministers soon planned to appoint the young Ten Princes as the next new emperor of Wu State. Supporting the child, consolidating the power of the Wu State, the family is in danger.

Ji Lianmei walked up to a middle-aged man sitting on the side of the road, covered with a cloak, and asked him, "This big brother, may I ask, what is the situation now?" ”

The man slowly raised his heavy eyes, and there was no feeling of being alive at all. The moment he saw Ji Lianmei, his eyes that had fallen silent actually shone brightly.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold! Come on, 100,000 taels have appeared! Catch her! The man shouted loudly like crazy, and grabbed Ji Lianmei's wrist suddenly, and her dying appearance disappeared. The people around him heard his roar and came over excitedly, like a group of hungry wolves with red eyes.

"Catch her and we'll be rich! You don't have to go hungry! Don't let her run away! The group of people raised their sticks and rushed towards Ji Lianmei, and she instinctively turned her head and ran, and the men chased after her.

Ji Lianmei saw that this group of people rushed towards her like crazy people, and shook off the man's hand with all her strength, and ran around the streets and alleys, and finally threw the group away. She crouched next to the coop, gasping for air.

Among this group of people, there are businessmen with prominent families, pure and virtuous people who cultivate the fields for a living, and scholars who are knowledgeable and reasonable. Now, they're all like beasts that have lost their minds.

Ji Lianmei originally thought that war brought the ambition of the powerful and the suffering of the people, but in fact, war will also make people lose their humanity.

She wanted to sit down and rest for a moment, but she felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her.

After looking left and right, Ji Lianmei found a broken wooden door, and the face of an old woman was faintly visible. The face was also very thin, and the eye sockets were deep.

She looked around and waved her hand at Hime, motioning for her to come over.

Ji Lianmei felt worried at first, but the shouting and killing behind her was getting closer and closer, so she slowly approached the door with a cat's waist, and quickly got into it with a smoke.

Inside, Ji Lianmei began to look at the dimly lit room, the décor felt very familiar to her. The dimly lit room was covered with clothes on three walls, and tattered tables and chairs.........

"Hehehe, girl, I must be thirsty when I was chased by them, come, let's drink saliva first." The old woman came out of the back room on crutches and smiled, holding a bowl made of clay in her hand.

Ji Lianmei didn't bother to say thank you, took the mud bowl and drank it in a big gulp. Finally, she asked, "Old man, why are those people chasing me?" What else..... 100,000 taels of gold? ”

"Don't you know?" The old woman seemed to be very surprised, "The imperial court has launched a wanted warrant to arrest you, saying that you are a fine work planted by Liu Guo, uniting the princes of other countries to cause chaos and kidnap the new king." Whoever catches you will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 taels. In this world now, everyone's life is very poor, and those officers and soldiers are robbing our people of things under the banner of searching for people, which is really worse than animals. ”

100,000 taels, I didn't expect me to be so valuable.

"Then old man, why are you helping me?" Ji Lianmei looked around, "Look at your appearance, life should be very poor, hand me over to the imperial court, and you won't be able to live a prosperous life." ”

The old woman sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "I am an old woman, a lonely family, why do I want so much money? If I'm not mistaken, you're the same guy who came to my shop a year ago to help. ”

Yes, at that time, she also slipped out of the house in disguise as a man and went to work. So, this is Tianyi Pavilion?

"I believe that you are an innocent and kind child, and everything said on the wanted notice must not be true." The old woman took Ji Lianmei's hand and said.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

"Ah, by the way, what about the handsome boy who came with you that day? Didn't he take you with him? ”

At the mention of Bai Yucheng, Ji Lianmei's eyes gradually dimmed, and she prevaricated: "Hmm....... He went somewhere else and couldn't come back for a while. ”

The old woman nodded and said, "Otherwise, you can stay with me for a while, and your mother-in-law will help you bear it, so you can live with me with peace of mind." ”

When Ji Lianmei heard this, she suddenly remembered a common scene in martial arts novels: officers and soldiers took wanted warrants to search people from house to house among ordinary people, and if there were any harboring criminals, they would be killed.

She can't let her own comfort hurt others.

"Thank you, but I don't want to bother you, and I have important things to do. I appreciate your kindness. Ji Lianmei stood up and said to the old woman.

"But the child ......"

"Mother-in-law, if you really want to help me, can you please find a horse for me? My horse just got lost. ”

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you don't want to stay, I won't force you." But you're a girl, so be careful. ”

With that, she led Ji Lianmei to the stable at the back of the house, put the only skinny-looking horse on the reins, and handed it to Ji Lianmei.

"At this time, the big guys are not having a good time, and it must not be safe to go out to borrow a horse at this time, and there is only this old horse in the mother-in-law's house, so you can make do with it." The old woman's expression was slightly apologetic.

"No, no, mother-in-law, this horse is very good, I like it very much." Ji Lianmei patted the horse, stepped on the horse's back, waved to the old woman, and hurried towards the peach forest where the wandering fairy lived.
