On the official road leading to Cannes, a thin man was walking on the road with a huge burden on his back. The official roads were full of displaced people before the border war, and only a few people walked towards Cannes like him. The man's face was covered with dust, and he couldn't see what it was, so he licked his dry and chapped lips, shook the kettle hanging around his neck, endured it again, and slowly walked to the shade of the tree by the roadside. He took out a piece of cake and chewed it carefully, when a group of officers and soldiers passed by, he pressed his hat and buried his head lower.

The two exiles walked to the tree next to him and sat down, "I see that Da Yue is going to fight back again, and the emperor has been taken captive by the Na Yue people......

"I heard that the emperor was rescued!"

"Oh?"

"You don't know, my brother-in-law who was a soldier said that there was a chivalrous warrior who sneaked into the Yue people's barracks and rescued the emperor, but he was just kept being pressed and didn't say anything."

The two were still talking something, the man lifted his hat, and the two were still talking, but the man didn't want to listen anymore, he stood up directly, his weak body took up the burden, and continued to walk slowly towards Kangcheng.

When the officers and soldiers saw that he was carrying a big burden, they stepped forward and pulled the huge burden over, "What is this!" ”

The man didn't speak, he glared angrily at the officer and soldier, the officer and soldier who took the lead snorted coldly, opened the bag by himself, and saw that the bag was just some ordinary clothes, but the fabric and workmanship were unusual, and then looked at the money bag on his waist, the officer and soldier looked left and right, and the two soldiers on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to hold the man, and the officer and soldier directly took off the money bag on his body, and saw that there were only a few taels of silver inside, his eyes flashed slightly, and he kicked the man to the ground, and the people around him were already surprised. They are just outcasts who ran out of the border city, and they escaped for fear of being conscripted into battle.

The officer and soldier ripped off the man's robe, and finally found a few silver tickets in the mezzanine of his shirt, "This is your filial piety to the uncle, lest you go to the border city and give this silver money to Yuegou!" ”

The man was disheveled at this time, covered in mud, and even the hat fell to the ground and was trampled by the group of officers and soldiers, but he never spoke, he stood up, straightened out the dirt on his body, staggered up, stood straight, and watched the group of officers and soldiers shouting and walking away with silver tickets, and then walked to the scattered clothes, picked up the clothes little by little, brushed off the dust, folded them neatly and put them back in the baggage. The two men who had been sitting under the tree saw him like this, walked over and handed him the kettle. "Little brother, you drink saliva, see that you have taken so many silver tickets, and you must be from a big family, I advise you to say a word, don't go to the south, the war in the south is tense, you will be arrested in the past and filled the army."

The man took the kettle, but didn't drink it, just poured it on the handkerchief, carefully wiped the black ash off his face, and returned to his original appearance, this person turned out to be Grandpa An!

Father-in-law An returned the kettle to the man, "Brother Lao, how far is this place from Cannes?" ”

"You're going to Cannes? A few days ago, we passed by Cannes, the gates of Cannes were sealed, and we were not allowed to enter or exit, I advise you, or don't go! ”

When Gonggong An heard this, he was stunned. On that day, Chen Bozhan marched with the army, and when King Ning and others went to the martial arts arena, he secretly walked out of the palace. After all, it was slower than the army, and when he heard the news that Kangcheng had sealed the city gate, he felt uneasy. Before Jiang Lin entered the palace, he knew that the Jiang family was next to the big tree of King Ning, Jiang Peng was guarding the city in Kangcheng, and Chen Bozhan went to Kangcheng as a general, so the emperor was probably even more auspicious. He gritted his teeth, remembered the scene in the palace, tightened his baggage, smiled at the two, and continued to walk in the direction of Cannes.

It's almost September now, and Yuening's birthday will soon come. The housekeeper of the month picked up Yuening on the third day of the ninth month, and since then the third day of the ninth month has been set as Yuening's birthday. This year, Yuening will be fifteen, and in the past, in the capital, women had to perform a ceremony on fifteen, so the fifteen-year-old birthday was also particularly important.

But now that the two of them are living in this small village, they naturally can't find some famous and virtuous ladies to be guests like the capital. On this day, when I walked to the kitchen and saw the sister-in-law of the Li family cooking on the fire, she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know where to buy some head and face jewelry around here?" ”

The sister-in-law of the Li family knew that Dark One had always treated Yuening very well, so she smiled and said: "The closest to this is the border city, and you can buy good jewelry in Cannes farther away." But there is a battle ahead, and I saw you enter the village covered in blood that day, so I should not go. ”

Secretly thought for a while, "In a few days it will be Ning'er's birthday, she has just turned fifteen this year, and she has to do a good salute, although I can't give her a gift from the nobles of the family, but I should also give her a set of headdresses." ”

When the sister-in-law of the Li family heard this, she didn't care that she was cooking, scooped out the water at the door, carefully washed her hands, and turned out a jewelry box from the lowest level of the box in the house. Under a closer look, the jewelry box was actually made of excellent wood, the sister-in-law of the Li family opened the jewelry box and took out a set of exquisite white jade headdresses from the lowest layer, the white jade was extremely transparent, and was carved into the shape of a peony, and there was a little red at the stamen of the peony.

The sister-in-law of the Li family pushed this headdress to the dark one, "What do you think of this set?" ”

Before Dark One took a closer look, he knew that this set of jewelry was worth a lot of money, he didn't dare to take it, just looked at the sister-in-law of the Li family, and the sister-in-law of the Li family smiled, put the set of jewelry in the jewelry box, and handed it to Dark One. "I'll give you this set of jewelry."

When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "This can't be done, sister-in-law, this, this is too precious!" ”

"It's just a small gift, you and Sister Ning'er have lived in my house since they came to this village, and it is also the fate of you and me, I ...... Since childhood, I have not been in good health, and I have no children for many years, and I owe it to your eldest brother for understanding...... You brought Sister Yuening that day, she looks really pleasing, I often think that if there is a daughter who is as well-behaved as her, it would not be bad......"

When he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved, looked at the jewelry in his hand, took out the jade pendant in his arms, and handed it to the sister-in-law of the Li family. "Ning'er and I will settle here in the future, this jade plaque ...... It's useless to keep it, so I'll give it to you as a return gift today. ”

The sister-in-law of the Li family responded with a smile and put the jade plaque away, "This Zhengbin and the praiser, I will go and talk to the respected old people in the village, if they are willing, it will not be considered to have wronged Ning'er's sister." ”

Dark One hurriedly thanked the Li family's sister-in-law. The sister-in-law of the Li family was no longer polite, and turned around and went back to the kitchen.

When Dark One walked back to the house with the jewelry box, Yue Ning was holding the fabric to make clothes for Dark One, and when Dark One came back, he hurriedly put down the clothes. She saw that she was holding the jewelry box in her hand, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Dark One smiled and put the jewelry box on the side of the small couch outside, and in the past few days, Dark One has slept alone on the small couch outside. "You'll find out in a few days."

Yue Ning didn't get annoyed when she saw him playing dumb riddles, but she also laughed, and secretly sat down next to Yue Ning, picked up the clothes on the table that had not been sewn yet, and asked with a smile, "But did it for me?" ”

Yue Ning pouted and looked at the dark one, "You gave me a hairpin, of course I have to return the gift." ”

Dark One put down the clothes and reached out to hook Yue Ning's fingers, "Is it just a return gift?" ”

Yue Ning blushed and looked at him, "I saw you wearing Brother Li's clothes all day long, and now that there is a war outside, I asked Sister-in-law Li to borrow a few pieces of fabric to make for you." You and I will live here forever in the future, and we should also make some changes of clothes. With that, Yue Ning stood up again and compared the unfinished clothes to the dark one, "Don't you have to cook again in the future, the injury on my back is healed, I'll help Sister-in-law Li." None of the men in the village go into the kitchen, and you don't have to go any further. ”

Secretly listened to Yue Ning's words, but he didn't feel bored at all, in the past, in the capital, the two of them had never been as idle as now about these parents, and now the beauty is on the side, taking care of the family affairs for him, he only feels that he has a belonging, and stretched out his hand to tighten Yue Ning's hand. "You just have to wait for me to come back every day, you have been served by people in the capital since you were a child, so let me cook."

Yuening's hand was clutched by Dark One and placed on her chest, she tilted her head and looked at Dark One, "Then what do I do?" ”

"You, wait for me every day, and if you have nothing to do, you will go and talk to Sister-in-law Li. If you really feel bored......"

Yue Ning smiled and asked, "What if you really feel bored?" ”

Dark One pulled Yue Ning violently, pulled her directly into her arms, put it close to her ear, and said softly: "If you feel bored, give me a doll and play with you every day." ”

Yue Ning's whole face turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand and took a few steps back, "You, you, what are you talking about!" ”

Seeing Yue Ning's delicate face, he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, and hugged Yue Ning directly, "You will be in time for a few days, Ning'er, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Yue Ning blushed, couldn't speak, laughed and said "No", and trotted out of the door.

When he saw her running out with a red face, he didn't chase her, but looked at the unfinished clothes on the table, and laughed stupidly.

In the pharmacy of the Beijing Annex, Guo Chuanbai sat quietly on a chair, holding a plant with a red tip in his hand, and looked at the medicinal materials on the table in a daze. There was only one candle burning in the house, which could only illuminate Guo Chuanbai's face. The door opened suddenly, and Guo Chuanbai threw the plant in his hand on the table in a panic. The man sighed, took out the fire, and lit the lamp in the room. It's Yan Ziqian.

"Why doesn't Shibo hold the lamp?" Yan Ziqian wore a mask, sat opposite Guo Chuanbai and looked at him, and then looked at the herbs on the table, "But you found the antidote?" ”

"The medicinal materials in the antidote are all here, these flavors are all to replenish blood and qi, I am afraid that these flavors are just to confuse the direction, and in the end, the flavor medicine is the key." Guo Chuanbai got up, opened the window, and looked out of the window fixedly. "But I still don't know what the last taste is."

"King Ning...... Still avoided. Yan Ziqian looked at the herbs on the table, and didn't look at Guo Chuanbai, but just opened his mouth lightly. I have sent people to the border city to find the whereabouts of the saint. Shibo, I was wrong. ”

The house was exceptionally quiet, it was raining outside, and the autumn rain was a little chilly in the night, and only the sound of heavy rain outside could be heard inside the house. Guo Chuanbai turned around, at this time Yan Ziqian had already taken off the mask on his face, and now his face was also covered with bright red blisters, "The owner of the village should still relax his mind, I will definitely come up with a way to detoxify." ”

Yan Ziqian held the mask in his hand, "Then there will be Lao Shibo." With that, he got up and walked to the door. He walked to the door, stopped again, and didn't know whether it was to himself or to Guo Chuanbai, and said softly: "How can I forget the enmity of my Wang family." With that, he lifted his feet and left the pharmacy.

Guo Chuanbai was still standing by the window, stretching out his hand, the rain fell on his hand drop by drop, and he seemed to hear a woman singing faintly in a trance.

"The mountains are high, and the moonrise is small. The moon is small, and he is bright. I am thinking about the distance, and I don't see it for a day, and my heart is quietly ......"

Guo Chuanbai suddenly laughed, "What if he forgot, what if he didn't forget?" Being in a high position, surrounded by beautiful women, Jin'er, do you say that this sky-high wealth is climbing the ladder or sleepy in Longtan? With that, he sat back in his chair and began to throw the medicinal herbs on the table into the jar and crush them into fine pieces. He thought for a moment before throwing the reddish plant back into the medicine compartment, and then continued grinding the herbs, with a strange smile on his face.
