Chapter 081: Farewell
On the way, Sima Hongyan and the four women ignored Yan Hong's persuasion and squeezed into a car. Fortunately, it was spacious enough, but the four of them couldn't turn around.
Sima Hongyan, Ban Lingruo, and Shi Jinyan looked at Zhong Liying together, and looked at her uncomfortable. Zhong Liying couldn't help but said, "If you have something to say, just say it, why are you staring at me?" ”
Ban Lingruo smiled and said, "Actually, we just wondered, what are your plans for the future?" Rather than staying in such a precarious position, consider my suggestion. ”
Zhong Liying lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said, "Sisters, after getting along for the past few days, I really like you. I think you are bold, not confined to conventions, knowledgeable and thoughtful, and live with your own goals, I admire you very much. ”
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "But I have a blood feud on my body, and there are many people who will not give up if they know about my existence." If I live with you, I am afraid that I will bring you trouble in the future. To put it bluntly, I don't want to bother you. ”
Sima Hongyan and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Ban Lingruo said, "Miss Zhongli, do you think we are people who are afraid of trouble?" Besides, I think you're safer with us! ”
Sima Hongyan patted Zhong Liying's hand and said, "Miss Zhongli, I won't hide it from you until now." You already know my identity, and I now have a new identity, which is the commander of the reserve army appointed by the emperor himself. Lingruo is the only daughter of the deputy commander of the dynasty, and martial arts is the first among the women of Yanling. Jin Yan is the second daughter of the poetry and books of the dynasty, and is known as the first talented woman of Yanling. ”
Looking at Zhong Liying's stunned expression, Sima Hongyan said, "Do you know why I'm telling you this?" ”
Zhong Liying shook his head inexplicably and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person. With your status, you will be a maid to the ninth prince! Don't......? ”
Sima Hongyan said: "That's right, our identity as a maid has been changed, for the convenience of travel." And the ninth prince is the ninth royal highness of the current emperor, the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the capital of Yanling. ”
Zhong Liying was even more surprised and said, "The ninth prince is the prince? No wonder it looks so different. ”
Sima Hongyan continued: "And we came in disguise to participate in the Jianghu rally of worshipping mountains and changing posts this time for one purpose. It's about looking for some capable talents! ”
Zhong Liying suddenly had a look of panic in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You, do you want to rebel?" ”
Sima Hongyan was amused with a "poof", and Shi Jinyan couldn't help but laugh.
Ban Lingruo smiled and said, "Miss Zhongli, what do you want?" How could we possibly do something like that? ”
Zhong Liying felt a little relieved, and then said, "It's not good, then what are you?" ”
Shi Jinyan said: "I'm afraid you don't know Miss Sima's ideals and goals, she wants to establish the world's first female army!" ”
Zhong Liying's eyes widened and he looked at Sima Hongyan, and Sima Hongyan said, "I am the first female military general in Yanling, and I can also be said to be the first female official in Yanling. I never believed that women were inferior to men, so I wanted to set up an invincible female army to gallop across every land in the Central Plains. But I can't do it alone, I need help, Lingruo and Jinyan are my helpers, I hope you can also help me. ”
Zhong Liying said curiously: "Miss Sima, with all due respect. We've only known each other for a few days, so why are you telling me that? Do you believe I can help you? ”
Sima Hongyan said: "Don't underestimate yourself, I believe that you have this ability." What's more, we are similar in many places and have similar experiences. We are all struggling to survive with the hatred of our families. If we are not strong ourselves, how can we talk about avenging our families? ”
Zhong Liying fell into deep thought, this matter was too big for her, and she needed to think about it.
Knowing that Zhong Liying hesitated, Sima Hongyan didn't say anything, only let her think about it herself. Then he changed the topic and talked about something else.
A day later, he returned to the outside of the capital. According to the original agreement, Zhong Liying will say goodbye to everyone when he arrives here.
Sima Hongyan saw that she didn't mention the words of coming to help her along the way, so it was not good to ask again. After a good acquaintance, although Sima Hongyan and the three of them failed to keep her, they were also very enthusiastic to bid her farewell and gave her a lot of gold and silver.
Pulling the horse handed to her by one of the guards, Zhong Liying was in no hurry to leave. She looked at the smiling Sima Hongyan and whispered, "Miss Sima, let's take a step to speak!" ”
Sima Hongyan nodded to Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan, and followed Zhong Liying to a farther place.
Seeing Sima Hongyan and Zhong Liying talking in a low voice, Ban Lingruo couldn't help but be curious, and asked Shi Jinyan, "Jinyan, what do you guess she said to her sister?" ”
Shi Jinyan smiled and said in a mysterious way: "Actually, you can guess what they say if you think about it." ”
Ban Lingruo looked at her and said, "Do you already know what they will say?" ”
Shi Jinyan pondered slightly, and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" ”
Ban Lingruo was surprised and said, "I can't even guess it." I think in addition to my sister, it's also your brain! ”
Shi Jinyan smiled silently.
Not long after, Sima Hongyan and Zhong Liying walked back. Zhong Liying clasped his fists at everyone and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Zhong Liying will never dare to forget it in his lifetime." If you have the opportunity to repay your kindness in the future! Say goodbye today, and meet again in the future! ”
Yan Hong didn't get out of the car from beginning to end because of the difference between men and women, but just instructed in the car: "Be careful on the road!" ”
Sima Hongyan and the three of them returned the salute and said goodbye to her, and Ban Lingruo had a slightly disappointed look on her face.
Zhong Liying didn't delay any longer, got on the horse, waved the whip, and walked away. Until everyone couldn't see her back, she didn't look back again.
When Sima Hongyan turned around and got into the car, Shi Jinyan suddenly asked next to her, "Okay?" ”
After a slight pause, Sima Hongyan stepped into the car and replied casually: "It's okay!" ”
Shi Jinyan stopped talking and sat in the car. Ban Lingruo in the back was confused, and got into the car and asked the two, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" What is said to be good? ”
Sima Hongyan patted her forehead with a smile and said, "I haven't grown up for so long, I just don't want to move your little head more." I won't talk about it this time, but you can guess for yourself! ”
Ban Lingruo had a sad face and complained: "You have obviously thought of it, just tell me directly, why do you still have to guess the riddle?" ”
Seeing her coquettish, Sima Hongyan said: "We are beside you, you are lazy, let us tell you, if we are not by your side, who can tell you?" And it's not hard to guess this time, think for yourself! ”
Hearing Sima Hongyan say this, Ban Lingruo wrinkled her brows and thought bitterly. Sima Hongyan looked at her with a smile on the side, and thought secretly: "This girl learns martial arts faster than anyone else, and she can learn by herself without a teacher, but she is not good at her ability to move her heart." This is incomparable to Jin Yan. ”
Thinking of Shi Jinyan, I couldn't help but look at her. Who knew that Shi Jinyan was also looking at her at this time!
The carriage kept moving towards the capital, and did not stop until it was in front of the imperial city, when it was already late.
Everyone got off the lane to say goodbye, Yan Hong was about to enter the palace to return to the emperor, and Sima Hongyan and the three of them went back to their home in the east of the city and parted ways.
Before leaving, Yan Hong whispered to Sima Hongyan: "I'm afraid I will have to deal with the official business that has been put on hold these days, and I will go to see you when I am busy with the things at hand!" ”
Since Ban Lingruo made it clear that Yan Hong liked herself, Sima Hongyan suddenly had a sense of estrangement from Yan Hong. It seems that after knowing that Yan Hong has a love for him and a woman, he can no longer treat him as a good friend like before.
So after Yan Hong finished speaking, she silently did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't answer herself, Yan Hong was slightly stunned, and asked again, "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? ”
Sima Hongyan hesitated again and again, feeling that it was better not to talk to Yan Hongming here and now, so he pretended to be thinking about something else, and suddenly came to his senses: "Ah? I'm thinking about Zhong Liying. You go about your own business first, and we'll talk when we meet! ”
Yan Hong nodded, turned around and got into the car, and rushed to the imperial city with the guards.
Sima Hongyan watched the carriage go away, and did not return to the carriage until it was gone.
