Shuilu Town is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the news and knowledge of the people in this vicinity are naturally different from those in the border towns.

Zheng Quqi no longer has to squeeze in to read the content of the posts on the bulletin board, and she believes that soon such posts will be like small advertisements, and will be circulated in the streets and alleys.

The people of Julu Country are deliberately engaging in the mentality of Ye Kingdom.

The patron saint of Ye Kingdom for so many years died and was defeated by them, this news was originally spread in private, but it was just a speculation and speculation, but Julu Country directly broke out that they had the most direct evidence in their hands - Yu Wensheng's corpse.

Such a statement undoubtedly shatters the hope of the thin existence in everyone's hearts, and they want to make Ye Guo panic all day long.

Zheng Quqi knew that this matter was probably true.

At the beginning, as one of the parties involved, she clearly saw Yu Wensheng being hunted by the people of the Mo family and the giant deer army, and after not knowing how many sharp arrows in his body, he fell heavily into the river of blood.

She lost her mind for a few seconds, but when she saw someone coming out of it, she hurriedly stopped an aunt: "Auntie, I can't squeeze in, may I ask what they are talking about, are you sure it's true?"

The aunt looked at her twice and said, "There shouldn't be a fake, I heard that the people of the Julu Kingdom are also planning to send the body of General Yuwen back to the Ye Kingdom, if it is fake, how dare they be so open."

"Send it back?"

"Yes, I said that I would let King Ye and them identify whether this is the general of our Ye Kingdom...... Speaking of this, the eldest aunt sighed sadly: "Evil, what should we do in the future."

Zheng Quqi was a little absent-minded on the way to the inn, she didn't get into the carriage, but made an excuse and asked Wu Liang to send Brother Sang and them to the inn booked by Blue Moon first, while she walked around and would find it herself later.

She walked alone on the strange and bustling streets, with all kinds of shouting and selling voices on the side of the road, people coming and going, figures overlapping and overlapping, intersecting and staggering, and no one would stop.

"Fuxian caramel oh, sweet and sour fruity flavor, hurry up and take a look, taste it, you don't have to look elsewhere, you don't have to be sweet......

Suddenly, I heard a familiar local sound, it was Trump's shouting in Nagada, Fuxian County, and many people were attracted by this different shouting sound and gathered towards the person's stall.

Zheng Quqi also walked over, she looked at it fixedly, and then involuntarily bought a bag as well.

But after buying it, she suddenly remembered that there was no one around her to deliver candy.

My sister is changing her teeth, she can't eat more sugar, and Brother Sang doesn't like candy, she ...... I don't seem to like it anymore.

However, she had heard that sugar helped secrete dopamine and make people feel more pleasant, which was how she had coaxed his husband who had died young, but she had never tried it herself.

Half-convinced, he poured out one, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

It's pretty sweet.

didn't walk for a while, and suddenly felt as if someone was following behind her, she knew that Sixi or the air official must be hiding in the dark to protect her, even if she didn't command, because she was not panicked, and when she looked back, it was Yuan Xingzhou.

And Yuan Xingzhou kept looking at her, his eyes were unpredictable.

Zheng Quqi wondered, "Why did you come down too? Still following me?"

Yuan Xingzhou approached her, stared at the looming caramel wrapped between her red lips and teeth, and asked, "Yu Wensheng is dead, are you sad?"

Zheng Quqi was stunned: "I'm sad?"

She touched her face.

Yuan Xingzhou asked rhetorically, "Aren't you sad?"

"I don't know......" Zheng Quqi is actually not very familiar with Yuan Xingzhou, but it is precisely because they are not familiar that she seems to be able to confide in some inhumane feelings: "You know what? I don't always believe he died like this, maybe ......."

"Perhaps?"

Zheng Quqi walked forward: "Maybe when I see his body with my own eyes, I may really believe it.

」

Yuan Xingzhou followed beside her, and the two walked side by side: "Are you happy to lose him? As far as I know, Yu Wensheng can't even be a good person, how can he know how to be a husband to others?"

It's not good, but it seems to be true.

But Zheng Quqi looked back and thought about it for a moment.

The Yu Wensheng she knew was indeed not a person many times, he was a dictator, he acted in a brutal and ruthless style, he never had a merciful heart, and anyone who was his enemy would not end well.

But give her a husband...... Aside from the incident of Oolong's concealment of each other's identities, she tried to recall that he had always seemed to be more competent than her.

Whenever she is in trouble, he will find a way to save her when he travels thousands of miles.

But when he was in danger, she did everything.

In addition to trying to remedy it afterwards, help him protect the things he left behind, so that no one can touch or take away them...... However, the Ye Kingdom that he has protected for so many years is now in danger, and it may fall into the clutches of other countries at any time, including the Giant Deer Country that killed him......

Zheng Quqi turned his head, chewed all the sugar in his mouth and swallowed it: "Yuan Xingzhou, you said that people are alive, what do you want?"

Xing Yuanzhou was silent for a moment before replying, "I want to have peace of mind and a clear conscience. But it's not my idea, but I think it should be your idea."

Zheng Quqi was stunned.

She turned her head and looked at the bustling and bustling streets, where one day war would break and everything would be in ruins.

Her mind went back and forth a few times in her heart, again and again, but this time, she didn't hesitate anymore: "Let's cooperate."

She finally spoke up.

Yuan Xingzhou paused when he heard this, and he stared at her side face: "Why are you suddenly willing?"

Zheng Quqi pretended to smile lightly: "I suddenly figured it out, people can't live just to live, maybe it's for Yu Wensheng, maybe it's for me and my family, maybe it's for this bag of caramel in my hand."

The first thing about her wish was to mention Yu Wensheng...... No matter how much she wanted to get rid of him and draw a line with him, he was like the pervasive air, and after all, he still left a strong mark on the blank space in her heart through a tragic death.

A smile appeared on Yuan Xingzhou's faint face.

"Okay, I'll take what I want, and you do what you want."

"Let's find a private time to talk about the content and method of cooperation, well, let's give this to you, just take it as my sincerity." Zheng Quqi threw the sugar bag in his hand to Yuan Xingzhou.

Yuan Xingzhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and he lowered his eyes and glanced at it: "You don't want it?"

"I don't like sugar." Zheng Quqi shook his head.

She can't bring the sugar back, otherwise the younger sister will see it, and she will definitely keep pestering her to ask for it, the little white teeth of the younger sister have been harmed by the sugar she bought before, and now she will not give her this kind of high sugar anymore.

He looked at her again, "Then why did you buy it?"

She turned her head and no longer walked down the street blankly, but returned to the direction of the inn: "I thought that eating candy could really make people happy, but after tasting one, I found that it was all a lie from the candy seller."

Yuan Xingzhou looked at her back, poured out a twist from the sugar bag and put it in his mouth, and then slowly sipped it, I could feel its sweetness spreading on my tongue, from physical to psychological.

「…… But how do I think it's not a lie?"

——

On the second day, Wei Yao's team arrived, and the air officials who were waiting outside the city gate early took Wei Yao and Wang Zebang to the inn.

As for Princess Sheng An and the road bandits, they are naturally still outside the city, and if such a large group of people enter Lushui Town together, it will be too eye-catching, and only Wei Yao and Wang Zebang will come over.

Seeing them, Zheng Quqi immediately asked, "How is it, nothing happened on the road, right?"

Wei Yao shook her head, "It's just a little trouble,

As long as Princess Sheng An is allowed to show her face occasionally, all the people who are secretly about to move will go into hiding again."

Hearing that nothing had happened, Zheng Quqi smiled relaxedly: "That's good, our side is basically a fresh face, no one pays attention to it at all, and the journey is surprisingly smooth, then you can rest for a night, and we will enter Shengjing tomorrow."

The two of them nodded, and at this time, Wang Zebang, who had a complicated expression all the way, couldn't help but ask out loud, "Madam, did you hear any news in Lushui Town?"

Zheng Quqi did not shy away: "You are talking about the matter posted on the bulletin board at the city gate?"

"Yes."

"Hmm."

"I hear you." She replied cheerfully.

Wang Zebang clenched his fists and said, "On the way, Fu Rong's urgent news came, he did see them salvage a body in the river...... Dressed in the clothes of a suspected general, with countless arrows in his body, and wearing a mask of a god."

Zheng Quqi lowered his eyebrows slightly and looked down at the air, and said loudly: "Yes or no, when the time comes, they will send the body back, and we will ...... I'll know when I collect the body."

They looked at Mrs. Lady's expression calmly, but there seemed to be a light red at the end of her eyes, like a wounded crane raising its neck.

But as soon as she raised her eyes, her eyes, which were as clear as a pure altar, disappeared without a trace, as if nothing was left.

"Madame......

Zheng Quqi pursed his lower lip and lowered his voice: "Don't be too sad, in the future, I will be like him, do my best to protect you, let's watch and help each other together, overcome the difficulties together, and go down."

When Wei Yao heard this, a great rush instantly surged in his heart, his Adam's apple rolled a little, and his nose was a little sour for a while, and Wang Zebang's body trembled uncontrollably, and before revealing his true emotions, he took a step to open his eyes.

"Madame, we ...... We will protect you to the death."

She was obviously also afraid of the winds and waves that came to her, but she still tried to spread a pair of weak and soft wings, trying to protect them and fly under them.

——

The next day, Zheng Quqi got up early and planned to dress up, but in view of the fact that she didn't know how to dress up the noblewomen nowadays, she also specially invited the most famous makeup lady in the city, which cost a lot of money (I was so distressed that I was about to vomit blood).

She considered entering the palace this time, representing not herself, but Yu Wensheng's wife, and the Four Elephants Army in the General's Mansion.

And Yuan Xingzhou also wants to see King Ye, so he can't be sloppy, so he also focuses on taking care of his clothes.

When the two of them finished modeling and went downstairs, Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and the four people waiting below were stunned.

Zheng Quqi was no longer wearing a girl's fresh and tender clothes like before, but a series of solemn colors, just to suppress the jump and immaturity on her body.

After all, the woman's bun is not very suitable for Zheng Quqi's face shape, so the makeup lady neutralized her, combed the raised bun high, hung some hair on the back of the head, and then hung down on the cheeks with white feathers, so as not to make the overly curly forehead messy.

A long green skirt, mainly loose, placket, large sleeves fluttering, waist with a silk belt to tie the waist, the hem is decorated with different colors of the edge, the long skirt is swaying to the ground, the hem is loose, the ribbon is layered, but it is not bloated and redundant when walking, but elegant and elegant.

Yuan Xingzhou is a straight-placked robe, with a waist seal of moon white auspicious cloud pattern, and a blue and blue blue rainbow halo brocade and green lotus pattern in the twilight clouds.

When these two people stood in front of them at the same time, perhaps because the clothes and costumes were from the same person's hands, or maybe the colors of the men's and women's clothes were very similar and matched, they stood together, and they inexplicably had the illusion of a great match. It's as if this is a young couple from a noble family standing there.

"Why don't you speak? Am I dressed too strangely?" Zheng Quqi touched his nose a little uncomfortably.

They came to their senses and quickly said, "Of course not."

"Ma'am, let's go." Wei Yao stepped forward and opened her and Yuan Xingzhou.

"Okay."

She turned her head to the side and whispered, "Is it appropriate?"

What did they mean by being silent just now? She thinks this dress is pretty good-looking, but she doesn't know if it looks good on her, after all, there is no full-length mirror here, so she can't think she is beautiful, but others think she is a child and pretends to be strange in adult clothes, right?

"Madame is shining brightly today, and it is very appropriate." Wei Yao affirmed.

Whew, that's good.

She deliberately gave herself a new image, just so that she could go all out to deal with the next thing, and the woman's pretense is not to please others, but to enhance her confidence and open up her life with a positive attitude towards life.

"What about the eldest brother and younger sister?"

"They've arranged for an escort."

"Let's go, then."

Yuan Xingzhou came out with him, and was about to get into the carriage with Zheng Quqi, but was stopped by Wang Zebang with his outstretched arm.

He said politely but firmly, "Your Royal Highness, your carriage is ready, over there."

Yuan Xingzhou glanced at Zheng Quqi's back as he got into the carriage and disappeared, turned his eyes obliquely, and silently closed his lips at Wang Zebang, and then turned to leave.

And when Wang Zebang received that secret word, his pupils were suffocated, but he was frozen on the spot.

——

In the carriage, Princess Sheng An was also there, and when she saw the brand-new Zheng Quqi, her eyes widened: "You, why did you become like this?"

Zheng Quqi sat down and raised his eyes: "What has changed?"

Princess Sheng An narrowed her eyes: "I have become stronger, and I have become more determined."

Zheng Quqi was stunned, but he didn't expect her to say this.

Zheng Quqi smiled and nodded, "Yes, do you know why?"

Princess Sheng An looked at her quietly, "Why?"

"Because there's no way back." She was still smiling.

But Princess Sheng An inexplicably felt a chill coming from her limbs.

It's not because Zheng Quqi is speaking a heavy and inexplicable sentence lightly at the moment, but Princess Sheng'an seems to see the waves and bloody storms of Shengjing in the future from her.
