Chapter 35: The hunt doesn't stop

The farce in General Zhou's Mansion continued until midnight. Zhou Yuwan stayed by Zhou Yichen's side all night last night, and as when she was a child, the two sisters slept in the same bed.

Zhou Yuwan patted her back and coaxed gently, I don't know when she fell asleep tired, and Zhou Yichen just looked at her with a little distress and a hint of regret.

Nothing seems to have changed between her and Zhou Yuwan, but nothing seems to have changed.

She looked closely, only pinched the futon slightly, and quickly turned over, but it was a sleepless night.

Zhou Yuwan didn't get up and leave until dawn in the early morning, Zhou Yichen was sleeping really at this time, and he didn't even know when Baili Shi came in.

Bai Lishi is a person from the rivers and lakes who has come and gone without a trace, and at this moment he is standing quietly in front of the dresser, with a long body and eyes like a torch, and he is falling on the dresser everywhere-

Zhou Yichen has very few things, no gold and silver hairpins, no expensive rouge gouache, and only the valuable wooden box in the corner can be used.

The wooden box is made of sandalwood, and there is a golden hairpin in the box, which was given by Zhou Yuwan a few days ago.

Baili Shi was looking at it attentively, not knowing that Zhou Yichen had woken up.

"Who let you enter the General's Mansion!" Zhou Yichen was angry at the first sight of Bailishi.

He turned around and walked to Zhou Yichen's side, pulled up the bed curtain and hung it on the hook beside him.

"You shouldn't be here."

"Miss is injured, and there must be no shortage of people to serve her."

Zhou Yichen sneered, "I've lived like this for more than ten years, and there's nothing I can't adapt to." Don't worry about things you shouldn't be worried about. ”

Baili Shi was silent, half-squatted down, put the sword in his hand aside, he stretched out his hand and gently supported Zhou Yichen's legs, she was defenseless for a while and wanted to break free, but there was a heart-rending pain on her calf. She groaned and put one hand on his shoulder.

"Mademoiselle has always been reckless." Bai Lishi's voice was not loud, but his tone was full of pity.

Zhou Yichen seemed to hear that she suddenly raised her head, and the two happened to meet their eyes.

Zhou Yichen pushed him and retracted his legs back into the quilt.

"There was no one to protect me, so of course I had to take it step by step. This is not recklessness, it is a last resort. You won't understand. Let's go, you're inconvenient here, it's not good to be seen. ”

"Miss, you can buy me."

Zhou Yichen was in a trance. Bai Li Shi looked at her with a firm expression, and said, "Miss, you buy me, and let me protect you in the future." ”

Zhou Yichen staggered his gaze, grabbed the futon uneasily, and sternly refused: "I think you're really crazy!" No way! ”

"I can protect Miss!"

"Thyme!" Zhou Yichen was completely furious, "No one would want to be a slave!" Do you know that once you are a slave and filthy all your life, you will always have to live with a lowly status, and you don't have to make such a sacrifice for me. ”

Bai Lishi disagreed, he picked up his sword again and stood up.

"Tomorrow in the west of the capital, I will wait for Miss there. If Miss doesn't come, I'll stay for a day, and I'll wait for Miss to buy me and take me home. ”

"Thyme! You're ......."

Before Zhou Yichen could say anything, Bai Lishi had already left the room quickly, and closed the door with him, not listening to anything from her at all.

Upper capital, imperial palace.

After Zuo Yingying's matter came out, the rumors in the market were different, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that the people were painful and helpless about what the royal family had done.

However, Shen Yanbai, who heard these rumors, was still not panicked, and was sitting in the dormitory slowly and methodically eating apples to feed the koi at the moment.

Chang Fuha leaned forward and reminded him repeatedly, Shen Yan couldn't move, so he directly stuffed the half-pulled apple into his mouth.

"Urge, urge, know to urge your master! It's said that the people from the East Palace will come to the door sooner or later, why are you in a hurry! ”

Changfu snorted a few times and took out the apple in his mouth with great difficulty, looking like he was about to cry again.

"My Highness! We can't wait for Donggong to do everything, right? Since you guessed that the mastermind behind it would not let Zuo Yingying go easily, why didn't you tell His Royal Highness King Yong earlier. Now it's okay, what kind of miracle doctor is the forbidden army looking for, the entire Shangjing City is in chaos! ”

"As long as there is the one in the palace who sits in the capital, there will be no chaos. Put your heart in your belly. ”

After Shen Yanbai finished speaking, he also sprinkled the fish food in his hand. He stretched his waist and gave a bored snort, patted Changfu on the shoulder, and then walked towards the temple door.

"Look, your master has always been very popular, especially those big names in the East Palace!"

Shen Yanbai smiled evilly and suddenly opened the door of the palace. Qin Song, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed into the hall without defense, Changfu's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he staggered to help Qin Song, who was slightly embarrassed.

Shen Yanbai stretched out his index finger and picked up the lock of bangs in front of his forehead, leaned his back against the palace door and greeted Li Jingwen who was standing outside the door.

"I haven't seen Brother Zimu for a long time."

"I haven't seen him for a few days, and it seems that Brother Zhixing's illness has been cured. It's really gratifying. ”

Li Jingwen almost pinched his voice to say it, and his smiling appearance made Changfu shudder.

"Brother Zhixing is so smart to see the situation clearly, and even has a twist and turn with this king, is it intended to test this king or is it a desire to block the East Palace? Why don't you tell the king about it? ”

As he spoke, he walked towards him step by step, and the two teenagers of the same height and size were facing each other at the moment, but it was obvious that Li Jingwen's aura was relatively strong, and Shen Yanbai finally felt weak.

"Brother Zimu, I want to tell you, but it's really ...... that I don't have a strong body Ahem, ahem! He deliberately coughed in an attempt to get by.

Li Jingwen sneered and called Qin Song.

Qin Song immediately walked back to him and obeyed the order.

"How long has it been since the emperor list was posted?"

Qin Song immediately replied, "It's been almost six hours." ”

"Brother Zhixing, do you hear that? Do you go by yourself, or will this king ask the emperor for a holy decree to tell you to go? ”

Shen Yanbai began to pretend to be stupid again, "Go? Where to? I'm not going anywhere! ”

"Find Mu Poison Lao and arrest Liang Rushi, you can choose one yourself."

After Shen Yanbai heard a spirit, he instantly became serious, he even dared to push Li Jingwen away, stuck his head out, and said as he walked: "Find a miracle doctor!" Hurry up and be blessed! Find it now! ”

Li Jingwen didn't look back, but just smiled helplessly and shook his head. Qin Song stepped forward and asked.

"Your Highness, this matter is so important, you just handed it over to him?"

"The king just doesn't want him to be idle. If he still had the slightest idea of wanting to return to Yanjing, he should know that this was a good opportunity. ”

"Your Highness is trying to help him?"

"Not really, the king of a proton doesn't care so much. It's that now it's difficult for the people in the East Palace to get in touch with Li Anhuai and his minions, but Shen Yanbai is different, he doesn't belong to any faction in the capital, and no one cares about a powerless proton. ”

"But if he really encounters an accident, it is difficult to guarantee that Yanjing will not use this as an excuse to send troops, this is ......"

"So we can't rely on him completely. Qin Song, you immediately go back to the house to gather people, let's also set off to Huzhou, we must not let Liang Rushi escape, let alone let Li Anhuai succeed again! If Liang Rushi died, he would be in trouble. ”

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! ”

……

The gate of Huzhou City.

Officers and soldiers set up soup kitchens at the two city gates early in the morning, and refugees inside and outside the city rushed to the soup kitchens with the young and the old. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers to maintain order, I am afraid that the two large vats of white porridge would have been looted by this time.

At the city gate, Eleven passed by the city gate carrying a bamboo basket and pretending to be a woman. She saw the starving people under the disaster, and the wanted notice posted on the city wall to arrest Zhou Zhenzhen.

She hurried into the city and back to the rouge shop.

Half String is waiting in the courtyard, and he can already walk on his own after a few days of recuperation, and he is decocting medicine for himself at the moment.

Eleven entered the door, put down the bamboo basket and turned around and inserted the latch.

"You're back? Did you find out any news? Half String asked, looking up.

Eleven said nervously: "Banxian, did the landlord say that there is not much grain left in the granary in Huzhou?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"The official office in Huzhou must be greasy! When I came back, I saw the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city giving porridge, and two large vats of white porridge were not a small amount. How could the general army of Huzhou take out so much food to distribute to the people in such a short period of time? ”

"Do you suspect that the grain is coming from the wrong place?"

"I'm not sure." Eleven shook her head, she paused to make a decision, and said, "Banxian, I'll go and explore the Huzhou granary again tonight to see what's going on." ”

Half String nodded, "Okay, you don't have to worry about me when you act carefully, my body is almost fine." ”

The two quickly talked, Eleven took the fan from Banxian's hand and persuaded him to rest more, he didn't refute and listened to Eleven's words and walked back to the room by himself.

At the gate of the city, two large vats of white porridge are almost at the bottom, but the number of refugees is increasing. In the midst of the chaos, a man dressed in brocade but with a hasty face and covered in mud stumbled from outside the city.

He kept his head buried in his head as if he had done something wrong, and stopped when he passed by the place where the refugees were resting, quickly walked away with a tattered coat, took off a brocade coat and endured the smell, put on the tattered coat, and smeared a few handfuls of ash on his face before continuing to walk forward.

Behind him, two men with knives looked at each other and quickly followed.

The man trembled, as if he had already spotted the two people behind him, and with brisk steps, he plunged headlong into the refugees.

The refugees at the gate of the city were driven away one by one by the officers and soldiers, who were frantically snatching the porridge buckets that had already bottomed out, and the officers and soldiers saw that the matter was gradually becoming difficult to control, and immediately took force to suppress them and drive the group away.

The man took advantage of the commotion and jumped into the city like a fish, and immediately shook off the people who were following him.

When the two men saw that a big living person had disappeared like this, they immediately violently pushed away the refugees who were in the way, and ran into the city together.

The city is bleak, and it is a sense of decay that has been barren for many years.

"Damn! After following for so long, I lost it again! ”

"Stop scolding! Find out! If Liang Rushi runs away, the two of us will be dead ends when we go back! ”

The man next to him stomped his foot angrily and spat hard, "This kid is like a loach, very slippery!" ”

He was still scolding, but his partner just shook his head, and the two continued to look for him in the city.

And Liang Rushi, who got rid of the pursuit, was sweating profusely at the moment, and hurriedly hid in an unmanned shop, he still had palpitations when he leaned back against the shop door.
