"You've guessed it, right?"

Shen Jiyue nodded and said, "His request is straightforward, there is no room for negotiation, and he is a member of the imperial court, Yuzhou is a place, no one can stop him, how can he still have room for maneuver?" ”

"Since you already know, I won't say more, Lord Fang Cai Jun Cheng personally came to the door to order this matter, saying that General Sima would come to pick you up in the afternoon."

"Afternoon...... I really can't wait a moment longer", Shen Jiyue shook her head with a wry smile.

"Jiyue, I'll clean up later, just take a good rest, look at your eyes, it's dark."

"Thank you Madame for your concern, you can also go back and rest for a while, the sisters should get up in a while, and those ...... last night Those guests who stay here will probably have to deal with it too, and I just have memories here. ”

The head teacher nodded, sighed, and walked out.

Shen Jiyue looked at the box containing the books, and instructed Yi'er, "Yi'er, throw away the books I just handed over to you." ”

"Hey", Yi'er agreed, and she was going to take it out.

"Wait", Shen Jiyue suddenly stopped, and Yi'er looked at her suspiciously, not knowing whether to throw it or keep it. After a pause, she continued, "Forget it, let him be. ”

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, Shen Jiyue ate something indiscriminately, and sat in the room, her way of spending time was very simple, either reading books or practicing music, otherwise she would be in a daze, a person always looked like she was happy, and others didn't know what she was thinking.

Yi'er couldn't sit still, and muttered, "I don't know what it means, I haven't come yet, and it's going to be dark soon." ”

Hearing Yi'er's complaint, she couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window, yes, the sun was already setting in the west, she walked to the window and leaned against the window. The afterglow of the sunset brings out her tranquility and warmth, and her delicate facial features are more three-dimensional, and Yi'er is not stunned.

The master and servant were enjoying the moment when suddenly, a knock at the door pulled them back to reality.

Yi'er went over to open the door, and the head teacher walked in, and there was a man standing behind him.

The man bowed to Shen Jiyue and began to report to his home, "Miss Shen, I am Wu Yiming, General Sima's retainer, the general has an urgent matter and needs to take one step ahead, tell me to take you back to the capital, he will wait for us at the junction of Yuzhou and Sili Prefecture, enter Sili Prefecture, not far from Chang'an Mansion." This is a letter from the general, please take a look at it. After speaking, he handed over a letter, Shen Jiyue took it and opened it, the content of the book was consistent with what Wu Yiming said, and there was his seal at the end of the article.

"In that case, let's go." Shen Jiyue replied to Wu Yiming, turned around and said goodbye to the master, and said, "Madam, I won't say goodbye to the sisters in the division one by one, please inform me on your behalf, we ...... If we are fated, we will meet again. ”

Parting, the head teacher and a few sisters who knew each other well sent Shen Jiyue out together, cherished each other, watched her get into the carriage, and went back to the rear.

In the attic, Izumi watched all this, and his eyes turned from unwilling to resentful.

Yingchuan was originally located at the junction of Yuzhou and Sili Prefecture, and walked to the territory of Sili, but it took three or four days to travel, but Wu Yiming was more cautious and took five days to enter the territory of Sili. Wu Yiming's caution is not unreasonable, one is worried that the two women are not suitable for the long distance of the journey, and the other is because the official road to Chang'an Mansion is very busy, full of travelers and businessmen, and many people are eyeing their money and property, specializing in stealing and robbing business, and the slightest mistake will have serious consequences.

After a few days of getting along, Shen Jiyue also has a certain understanding of Wu Yiming, his character is relatively simple and direct, Shen Jiyue thought to herself, in fact, this is more to Sima Xunian's way, no wonder he can become his close retainer.

Wu Yiming's voice came from outside the carriage, "Miss, we have entered the territory of Sili Prefecture, and now we are in the suburbs of Hongnong County in Sili Prefecture, in front of the town, let's find an inn to rest for a while, General Sima flew pigeons to pass the book to me in the morning, and he is also about to arrive." Wu Yiming was driving outside, tethering his horse to the back of the carriage and following.

"Well, thank you". Shen Jiyue didn't talk much, and when she heard that she was going to see that person again soon, she was actually a little scared in her heart, and she didn't want to say more.

As he was walking, the carriage suddenly shifted violently, Shen Jiyue's body deviated and hit the window, but the problem was not big, but Yi'er was more serious, before Yi'er was napping, and when she deviated, she had no ability to parry, and she was thrown out of the carriage directly. She rubbed her forehead in pain. Before she could ask, Wu Yiming hurried to report, "Sister, are you okay?" I don't know why there was a rock in front of me, and the horse kicked it and was frightened, Yi'er just fell, and the injury was not serious, you can rest assured. ”

Shen Jiyue was puzzled when she heard him say this, but Wu Yiming suddenly leaned in half of her body from outside the door, startling her. He immediately made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, I said those words on purpose, in fact, the horse driving now has fallen into a trap. This is the outskirts of the city gate, not the hunting forest, so this trap is by no means for hunting, it is very likely that there are thieves, and now the horse is trapped, and it will not be able to get out for a while, you come out quickly, take my horse. After speaking, he helped Shen Jiyue out of the carriage, said "offended", and carried her on his horse. Immediately afterwards, he hugged Yi'er again, told her to hug Shen Jiyue tightly, and taught Shen Jiyue to kick the stirrup. He led the horse all the way, and told the master and servant, "If you encounter a thief, I will pat the horse's buttocks, and the horse will take you out." ”

Sure enough, a group of bandit-like people slowly came out of the jungle, just Wu Yiming's words confused them for a while, and they didn't dare to act rashly, but as the spies who climbed on the high place came to report, they confirmed that they had fallen into the trap, so they immediately surrounded out.

There were more than a dozen of these bandits, surrounding them from all sides, Wu Yiming didn't say much, and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse rushed up in fright, not wanting to pull a stumbling rope in the jungle in front of him, and the horse was tripped over after a while, and the master and servant fell to the ground, and a knife immediately hit Shen Jiyue's neck.

Seeing Shen Jiyue being held hostage, Wu Yiming didn't dare to act rashly, and was also beaten by two thieves with a knife.

The leader laughed and said, "Boy, playing tricks? Can you play with your grandfather and me? Give me all the gold and silver! ”

Wu Yiming pointed to the carriage, "Everything of value is on the carriage, all for you, there is a famine in our hometown, so we can only sell all the fields to Hongnong County to invest in a distant relative, and there is nothing left for you." He said this in the hope of deceiving the bandits, so that they would not feel that they were still worth being extorted and would be tied up in the thieves' den.

With a wave of his hand, two of the little minions ran to rummage through the carriage. After a while, he came to report, "Big brother, it's not very soft, and it is estimated that it is worth a few hundred taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, the thief leader hesitated, looking at their attire, they didn't look like ordinary people, but the money they found was not much, which was consistent with what they said about selling their fields and defecting to their relatives, if they were really orphans, there would be no value in kidnapping. However, this woman is good-looking, and it is a good deal to use it herself or sell it into the Qinglou. Thinking about it, he looked at Shen Jiyue's side.

Wu Yiming saw through his thoughts and was about to have a seizure. said that it was too late, and suddenly, a sharp sword of "whoosh" slammed into the chest of the thief with lightning speed, and the thief fell to the ground in response, and then another sharp sword was inserted into the eyebrows of the thief who held Shen Jiyue hostage, and the man returned to the west without even having a chance to snort. Shen Jiyue was startled and hurriedly hid aside.

Directly ahead, a man on horseback, carrying a bow, walked calmly.

It's not Sima Xunian, who else.

"Do you still want to die?"

The rest of the bandits looked at each other, and when they saw that the leader was dead, they were still killed by an arrow, and they were afraid that no matter how capable they were, they would not be able to withstand the sharpshooters on the horse, so they glanced at each other and fled.

Shen Jiyue was originally shocked, but when she saw Sima Xunian, her heart was at ease, and now that the thieves had dispersed, she hurriedly went over to help Yi'er and ask about her injuries. Yi'er shook her head and said, "It's out of the way."

Wu Yiming immediately knelt down on his knees and apologized, "Despicable and negligent, the crime deserves death!" ”

Sima Xunian didn't tell him to get up, rode past him, and said, "Yiming, you are invulnerable in killing enemies on the battlefield, but you are still a little short of protecting the weak in a peaceful and prosperous world." Reflect on it, we won't have a war in the future, only people to protect! ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Sima Xunian came to Shen Jiyue, leaned down to stop her waist, hugged her, hugged her on the horse, sat down in front of him, smiled evilly, and patted the horse away.

Before Shen Jiyue could react, she could only stammer, "Yiming and Yi'er, and my book ......."

"Don't worry, Yiming will handle it", after speaking, he sped up his horse speed and ran up.

It's dark.

Sima Xunian had already booked an upper room and a private room in the largest inn in Hongnong County, and he had already sat down in the private room and drank wine, Shen Jiyue was relieved to remember her thoughts, standing by the window and looking, until she saw Wu Yiming driving the carriage back, she was relieved and returned to the table to sit down.

Not long after, Wu Yiming and Yi'er walked into the private room and greeted the two. Wu Yiming replied, "Young master, the things brought by the young lady have been counted by Yi'er, there are a lot of them, they have been sorted out and put in the room, the carriage needs to be repaired, I have explained to the store, and I will invite the craftsmen in the city to come over tomorrow morning." With the microservice outside, Wu Yiming resumed the title of Sima Xunian when he was at home.

"Well, okay, you and Yi'er sit down and eat."

Yi'er and Shen Jiyue have always been like sisters, and Sima Xunian and Wu Yiming are the best partners to fight together on the battlefield, and they often eat and live together.

There was silence.

Sima Xunian finally spoke, "Miss Shen, what is your name?" At the Workshop Division, you don't use your real name to perform art. ”

"I'm a musician, I don't need to show up to meet customers, and I don't need a name", the name, that is, the identity of the teacher Si Le's joke, Shen Jiyue didn't want to mention it.
