Ji Lianmei suddenly woke up and found that she was no longer at the gate of Situ's mansion, but in a carriage. And the carriage was still moving at breakneck speed.

She looked at the clothes that had been changed off her body, and did not dare to act rashly, and her mind quickly recalled what had happened before.

It seems like....... The man who knocked her unconscious was asleep.

Ji Lianmei cautiously poked her head out and found that in addition to the groom, there was also a servant girl sitting in the front seat of the carriage.

"Miss, are you awake? Come and eat something. The maid smiled and handed a steamed bun to Ji Lianmei.

Ji Lianmei took the steamed bun suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?" Why am I in this carriage?"

"Miss Lianmei, it was Mr. Mianfu who asked us to pick you up, and now that we are in Chaoge City, we are about to arrive at our shelter."

"What? Chaoge?" Ji Lianmei grabbed the handmaid's shoulder and asked, "What about Mianfu and Situ Che?" Where did they go! ”

"They, they set off to the palace two days ago to save His Royal Highness........." The maidservant was frightened by this sudden questioning, and she was also very curious about why Ji Lianmei was so angry.

Ji Lianmei let go of the servant girl and sat in the carriage sulking.

Why can't you bring me with you for such a big matter, I'm also worried about Bai Yucheng, I can also help....... Why do you always leave me alone?

"Miss, don't be angry, the slave saw the fireworks from the palace yesterday, presumably General Situ and they have already rushed from the imperial city to Chaoge." The maidservant smiled and brought a fan to fan Ji Lianmei.

"What's your name?"

"Back to Miss, slave Anan."

Anan........ Can you tell me why we are coming to the court? ”

"This ...... I don't know, but the army hasn't been reorganized yet, and there's no way to go to war yet. Mr. Mianfu planned to temporarily hide the army in Chaoge, and used Chaoge's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain to counterattack. Anan replied fifteen-ten.

It didn't look like she was lying.......

Ji Lianmei nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then when can they come?" ”

"Calculate the time, and it should be here tomorrow."

The imperial city was full of singing and dancing, but the people of Chaoge were in dire straits, and there were constantly bandits who crossed the border in Wuyue to burn, kill and rob here. One of the most prosperous cities of the Shang Dynasty eventually became like this.

The carriage skirted several alleys and headed deeper into the alleys, and eventually, the groom stopped in front of a small courtyard.

"Miss, this is the courtyard that Mr. Mianfu is looking for temporarily, please wait here for a while." Anan helped Ji Lianmei to dismount and opened the chain tied to the door.

Ji Lianmei looked around at the small courtyard.

Directly in front is a white wall built on the water, about two meters high, covered with black tiles, the head of the wall is built into undulating waves, the red lacquer door of the moon hole in the middle is hidden, there is the sound of the piano and the sound of the song faintly comes, the black plaque on the door is written "pear orchard" two gilded characters.

On each white wall there is a secret door painted white, which leads to an alley that leads in all directions.

It's a great hiding place.......

Ji Lianmei is full of curiosity about this place, if she stays in this small courtyard all the time, it will be too boring,

She couldn't help but want to go out and walk around.

Ji Lianmei changed into men's clothes, and after carefully changing her appearance, she went out with confidence.

Chaoge does not have the prosperity of Gusu City, almost everywhere is farmland with crops and farmers coming and going. Life here is hard, but peaceful.

Looking around like this, Ji Lianmei suddenly found a familiar figure in a group of farmers, especially the inherited young Bai, which made Ji Lianmei recognize him at once.

"Brother Song." Ji Lianmei smiled, bowed her hands, and greeted Song Wushuang.

Song Wushuang heard someone greet him, so he put down the work in his hand and straightened the hat he wore on his head.

He was now covered in mud and coarse cloth clothes, with steamed buns and water at his feet to make food, and even his face was no longer powdered, and he looked a lot darker and thinner, and he had become a farmer alive.

"It turned out to be a winding song..... Brother, long time no see. ”

"Brother Song is not a carefree boy who drinks and admires the moon in Gusu City, why did he come to Chaoge to do farming?" Ji Lianmei asked jokingly.

"I'll tell you the truth, since Qu Shui Liuyu Poetry Club was fortunate enough to know Brother Tai, I thought about it now, and the rich life in the past is really not enough to mention Brother Tai's noble ambitions. So in the past few years, I have been traveling around the world, and when I came to Lu, I had the honor to worship my teacher, who taught me to be benevolent and love others, and the king to rule the country with virtue. I felt it deeply, so I came back to Dasong to experience life.

I thought that this kind of life would be very difficult, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting. ”

Song Wushuang pointed to the large green wheat field and said to Ji Lianmei: "You see, these wheat are all grown by me myself, and when I think that they will form ears of wheat and become food, I think it means a lot for me to do this. Such a sense of accomplishment is no less than the pleasure of directing the country. ”

Ji Lianmei looked at the young man's shining eyes, and then recalled the arrogance of the nobility when she first met him, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

is worthy of the famous Confucian Sage, and even the ability to brainwash people is very strong......

"Brother Song is so sympathetic to the people's feelings, it is really an honor for the common people of my court." Ji Lianmei bowed to Song Wushuang sincerely.

"Just talking about me, Brother Lange, why are you here?"

"Uh...... There are some important things to deal with, and I won't bother Brother Song's Yaxing. Ji Lianmei hurriedly found a reason to leave, and after taking two steps, she suddenly turned back to Song Wushuang and said,

"Brother Song, I heard that there is a mountain named Mount Everest on the Tibetan side, which is tall and prominent, and it is said that there are omnipotent immortals on that peak, and many people want to climb the mountain to ask the immortals for help, but in the end they all failed. With Brother Song's perseverance, he may be able to catch a glimpse of the immortal. ”

After hearing this, Song Wushuang immediately asked excitedly, "Is it true?" That's a must-go, and I'll go tomorrow. He muttered to himself happily as he ran home to get his bags ready, not even bothering to wipe the mud off his hands.

Ji Lianmei looked at his distant back and thought:

Sure enough, as long as fun places are mentioned, Song Wushuang will definitely go. This time, I hope he can avoid this war, and it is best to never get involved in this royal war again........

Although at first, Ji Lianmei didn't have a good impression of this rich boy, but now, he has really changed.

At this time, Anan came out to look for her.

"Miss, Your Highness has returned to the pear orchard, do you want to go back with me to have a look?

Liyuan.

Bai Yucheng took the medicine, and his body was no longer in serious trouble, but he had not yet woken up.

Ji Lianmei walked to Bai Yucheng's bed and slowly held his hand.

The gentle and delicate hands in my impression are now withered like branches. All over his body were scars from being whipped.

You must have had a hard time during this time.....

Ji Lianmei sniffed and looked away.

"Huh? Situ Che, where did Mr. Mianfu go? Didn't he come back with you? Ji Lianmei asked.

Situ Che's face sank slightly, and he replied: "He died, in order to save His Highness, he fell into the water prison of Gongzi Yuxin, and he couldn't come out with us........."

Ji Lianmei was silent.

Bai Yucheng is still sick in bed, and he has lost such a powerful teammate as Mianfu, if Gongzi Yuxin takes advantage of this time to attack, she and Situ Che will not be able to parry.

"Situ Che, how many troops do we have now?"

"Half of our troops are stationed in Chaoge, and the other half are stationed in the imperial city, with about 10,000 elite soldiers. The Yulin army defected, and Gongzi Yuxin lost 2,000 elite soldiers, and now we calculate that our strength is enough to match Gongzi Yuxin. When His Highness's body recovers, it will be time to fight. ”

"Okay, Bai Yucheng has me to take care of here, you don't have to worry, the most important thing now is to teach the soldiers how to master the bed crossbow and trebuchet, and allocate personnel."

Situ Che nodded, indicating that he understood.

Night. There was no stove in the pear orchard, so Ji Lianmei took the medicinal materials she grabbed from the pharmacy, squatted in the small courtyard to make a fire, and boiled medicine for Bai Yucheng.

It's winter, and Ji Lianmei is holding a thin wooden stick, rubbing the cork underneath as fast as she can, looking very hard.

While drilling wood to make fire, she complained: In this era, how can there be no matches, it is really inconvenient, if I can cross it again, I must bring more matches to sell and make a lot of money.......

When the flames came out, Ji Lianmei put the casserole with the medicinal herbs on the fire rack and gently fanned the wind with a fan.

From the moment the stars are lit up to the first light of dawn, the herbs are simmered. From beginning to end, Ji Lianmei maintained a squatting posture and did not dare to be sloppy.

When she was about to put the decoction out, she suddenly fell to the ground, and she felt that her legs were numb.

The light rain outside the window was falling slowly, as cold as ice, and Ji Lianmei's hand holding the medicine trembled slightly, constantly breathing the heat.

When she gently pushed open the door of Bai Yucheng's room, through the white curtain fluttering in the wind, the young man who was originally lying on the bed was half leaning on the bed.

In the light emitted by the light of the night pearl that is as elegant as mist, the long hair that is slightly damp clings to the delicate skin. The snow-white clothes were slightly open, and several scars were exposed on his chest. The sad eyes looked out the window carelessly, revealing a distant temperament, as if thinking about something.

Even if he is so weak, his aura is still as unforgettable as when he first saw it..........
