After a busy morning, Hua Rong saw Lu Rao at noon.

Her eyes were so red that she had obviously cried, and she was hiding in the corner and squatting alone, looking a little pitiful.

Hua Rong probably guessed what happened to her, and didn't bother in the past, after a while, Lu Rao took the initiative to come over and tell her what happened to her, and finally asked tentatively: "Sister, I see that the third young master seems to care about you, can you help me plead for mercy?" ”

She is just a weak woman, and now that she has no relatives, she will inevitably be bullied, and it is natural to find a place to shelter.

Hua Rong sat down beside Lu Rao, handed her a steamed bun, and said while eating: "This is indeed unfair to the families of other martyrs, and the court will issue bereavement pensions in the future. ”

"I didn't expect this matter to be so serious, why didn't my sister remind me before?"

Lu Rao wiped away her tears and muttered in a low voice, as if Hua Rong would give up if she had reminded her in advance.

Hua Rong ate steamed buns and didn't answer, and after a while, she heard Lu Rao ask, "Sister, what should I do now?" ”

When she said this, Lu Rao held Hua Rong's hand tightly, like a drowning person, grasping a life-saving straw.

Hua Rong looked at her panicked face, a little trance, as if she saw the panicked and scared self at the beginning.

At that time, if someone could help her, maybe she wouldn't have come to this point.

Hua Rong pulled out his hand and said lightly: "The world is so big, the shelter is not only in the Zhongyong Mansion, the folk customs of Yuanfeng County are more open than other places, and when the pension of the imperial court is issued, you can buy some fields to grow food, you can also pick an honest and reliable person to marry, and you can also open a shop to do some small business, so it is more free than entering the Gaomen Guifu to be a maid." ”

After listening to Hua Rong's words, Lu Rao shook her head vigorously: "I don't have the strength, I can't plant the land well, and my mother's family has no one to support me, what if I marry the wrong person, and I have never done business, what if I lose?" ”

Hua Rong's proposals were all vetoed by Lu Rao, Hua Rong looked into her eyes and asked bluntly: "So you must enter Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion?" ”

Hua Rong's expression became more serious, and Lu Rao burst into tears again: "Sister, are you blaming me for being delusional?" But I don't want to climb any high branches, I just want to be a little girl, can't I? ”

Of course not, in this world, there are also three, six, nine and so on.

The maids of the noble mansion of the high gate must be innocent and good-looking, and it is best to enter the mansion to learn the rules when they are young, so as to nail the servility to the bones and ensure loyalty and obedience to the master's family.

Lu Rao has reached the age of getting married, maybe she hasn't learned the rules yet, she will be married, and the main family has to post a dowry for the sake of a good reputation, naturally no one wants to be this kind of wrongdow.

Hua Rong didn't say the twists and turns behind her, but said: "This is your life, I am not qualified to say anything, you just have to think it out yourself." ”

After speaking, Hua Rong finished eating the steamed buns, she didn't comfort Lu Rao anymore, and got up to leave.

Behind her, Lu Rao took a big bite of the steamed bun and chewed it vigorously, and her eyes that were still watery became obscure.

In the afternoon, Lu Rao was transferred to wash clothes, she didn't say goodbye to Hua Rong, and Hua Rong reacted very lightly to what she heard from others.

Lu Rao is very assertive, she can't help Lu Rao anything, it is the fate of Pingshui meeting, and it is normal to disperse.

A few days later, at night, Jiang Yunhua came to find Hua Rong: "Come with me." ”

When the words fell, he put a black cloak on Hua Rong's body, and said while helping her tie the belt: "Cover your face, don't let people see you, my eldest brother and I will accompany you out of the city, and there are many soldiers guarding the city tower, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Hua Rong was not afraid, but was a little surprised: "Lord County Guard is also going with you?" ”

Sensing Jiang Yunfei's estrangement, Hua Rong did not call him the eldest young master anymore, but used his official title to call him.

Jiang Yunhua noticed this detail, paused for a moment and said, "You are still the county lord of Your Majesty, and the eldest brother has the responsibility to protect your safety, and he also wants to meet Mo Jinzhou." ”

The implication is that it's not entirely for her.

Hua Rong didn't say anything more, and when she arrived at the city gate, she saw Jiang Yunfei waiting there on horseback.

Hua Rong and Jiang Yunqi rode a horse together.

After the two men got on their horses, Cao Hong ordered the soldiers to open the city gates.

Under the cover of night, the three of them galloped and soon stopped at the limit of the range of their crossbows.

A moment later, Mo Jinzhou appeared with two Yuexi warriors.

At a distance of two or three meters, Mo Jinzhou looked Hua Rong up and down, and said casually: "It's so tightly blocked, how do I know if you are looking for someone to pretend to be my sister?" ”

Hua Rong took off her hat, exposed herself to the moonlight, and said calmly: "Long time no see, brother." ”

I haven't seen him for a few months, Mo Jinzhou has changed the dress of a Yuexi man, his black hair is divided into several small pigtails, and the tail of the braid is decorated with various animal teeth.

He was very satisfied with Hua Rong's brother, bent his eyes and smiled, and beckoned to Hua Rong: "Good sister, come to my brother's side." ”

His movements are casual, like a puppy.

Hua Rong didn't move, stalemate for a moment, Mo Jinzhou said regretfully: "I didn't expect someone to really help you solve the Gu, you are so smart, if only you could have the same heart with me." ”

"If the Gu poison hadn't been solved, I'm afraid my internal organs would have been eaten clean by the Gu worms, and I wouldn't even have a heart, how could I have the same heart with my brother?"

Hua Rong asked rhetorically, although she had already imagined the scene of meeting Mo Jinzhou thousands of times in her heart, she still unconsciously brought resentment when she said this.

She hated her blood relatives for being so ruthless, and even more hated that she had the same blood as such a person.

Facing Hua Rong's questioning, Mo Jinzhou felt no guilt: "I can't bear to do this to you, you forced me, but you still have a chance to regret it now, Mu Cang's old thing is trapped in Zhaoling with the envoy group, I have mastered all the troops in Yuexi, as long as you come to me, and when I step on the throne of Zhaoling, you are the most noble princess in the world, these two around you will become your male favorites, if you are tired of playing, you can also change others." ”

Mo Jinzhou laughed arrogantly as he spoke.

He was about to break through Yuanfeng County, but Jiang Yunhua suddenly arrived with reinforcements to break his plan, he was very angry in his heart, and pretended to send a letter saying that he wanted peace talks, but in fact he took the opportunity to humiliate him in person.

In Mo Jinzhou's laughter, Jiang Yunfei calmly spoke: "The entire army of Yuexi has at least 200,000 people, and the defenders of Yuanfeng County are only 30,000, and Mo Gongzi has not captured Yuanfeng County for more than two months. ”
