Zhang Zhongliang: "Exactly. ”

Su Weiwei smashed his fist: "Hey, it's wrong, it's wrong." Hey......"

Zhang Zhongliang wondered: "What's wrong? ”

Su Weiwei: "If you don't meet the crown princess on the road, it must be your two groups of people who have gone off the road." Last night, the crown princess's honor guard rested in our shop, and the princess was still wandering in the courtyard in the middle of the night, just looking at the bright moon, not knowing what to reverie, and not daring to ask more. got up early this morning, and the crown princess went to Beijing along the official road. ”

Wei Shihu: "How do you know that it is the crown princess?" ”

Su Weiwei: "Looking at that posture, I naturally know." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Yesterday was the fifteenth, and those who were still watching the bright moon in the courtyard in the middle of the night must be Mary." ”

Simple: "How to show it?" ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "She waited for this morning to leave for the north, and I waited for the south, departing from the half-day trip, the journey has been more than a day, and we must hurry up to catch up." Change horses, chase. ”

The people got on their horses again and galloped away.

Mary's guard of honor made a big fanfare and slowly moved forward.

Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage crossed the fork in the road and hurried up.

Mary stroked the lion cub in the car, licking the calf with great affection.

At dusk, Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage stopped.

Hao Tianlei found horse manure on the road, and dismounted to inspect: "Your Highness, the horse manure has not dried up, and they will be not far ahead." ”

Zhang Zhongliang nodded.

Hao Tianlei got on the horse, and the group continued to chase.

At dusk, Mary and her party were still marching in the wilderness.

Two lions leaped up the hill, and Mary's guard of honor was completely exposed to the lion's view.

Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage were non-stop.

As night fell, in a small hill in the wilderness, Mary and her party began to set up a tent and make a fire for cooking.

Wei Jue inspecting the camp.

Mary hugged the lion cub and fed it water.

Not far away, the lion and the lioness circled in front of them, gradually approaching Mary.

Mary didn't know it.

The lion and lioness were already approaching.

Mary began to tease the cubs, who gently threw them up and caught them. Throw it again –

The lion and the lioness roared angrily, shaking the hill, and both leaped up with great strength and began to attack Mary.

Wei Jue turned around, saw that the situation was not good, and rushed out, blocking between the lion and Mary.

Before Wei Jue could draw his sword, the male lion had already pounced on him, and the two lions continued to pounce on Mary.

Mary screamed and fell to the ground on her back with the lion cub in her arms.

The two lions stopped, roared, and roared. Approaching Mary step by step.

Mary sat on the ground in horror and stepped back, still holding the lion cub in her hands.

Wei Jue was injured and fell to the ground, and only a few of the accompanying guards shouted far away, and the rest fled for their lives.

The lioness roared, her hair stood on end, and attacked again.

Mary had closed her eyes.

A whistle sounded through the wilderness, and the two lions were startled. At this moment, a man sprang out of the flat ground, dressed in a dung sweeping suit, like a ghost, and flashed to Mary's side, snatched the lion cub from Mary's hand, and threw it high between the lion and the lioness.

Seeing this, the lioness jumped forward, rolled on the spot, and caught the lion cub.

The lion shook his head in relief.

The two lions stood like two big walls, sandwiching the lion cubs in the middle and enclosing them tightly.

The guards gradually gathered. Wei Jue held a sharp blade in his hand and formed a human wall with everyone, blocking Mary in front of him.

The lion roared alertly, lingering in front of the human wall, swaying, and after a while, the lioness picked up the cub, and the male lion broke off, retreated out of the wilderness, and gradually disappeared.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, dispersed, pitched their tents, and built a fire to cook.

Mary sat on the ground, staring blankly at the place where the lion had disappeared, terrified.

Wei Jue is bandaging the wound.

The man in the dung sweep clothes saw that everyone was safe, and he shook his head and wanted to leave. At this time, it can be seen clearly that this person is a bitter head.

Wei Jue: "Master, stay." May I ask the Master Honorific Title? ”

Tou Tuo saluted: "Tou Tuo Wei Jiaqing is." ”

At the high places of the crossings, lanterns are hung high, and they can be seen from afar.

Tents are erected. Guards come in and out.

In the sheltered place, a roaring bonfire rises.

Mary, Wei Jue, and Wei Jia Qingtou sat around the campfire.

Vegaqing said: "Toutuo means to practice asceticism, and all those who practice asceticism must first choose a free place, second, live a life of begging for food, third, live in one place, fourth, eat one meal a day, fifth, beg for food, choose whether rich or poor, sixth, keep three mantles, seventh, always sit under a tree and meditate, eighth, always meditate in the open field, ninth, wear dung, sweep clothes, and tenth, dwell in a grave. Those who practice ascetic practice are to live such a simple life, and it is also a pure life. ”

Mary shuddered: "Master, in this way, cultivation is only for self-inflicted hardship. Life is so short, why should a good person give up his happiness, and princes and nobles such as Fuxian give up their dignity, just to experience an inhuman life, but what is the benefit? ”

Wei Jiaqing: "The crown princess doesn't know anything, mortals only want to enjoy themselves, but the most kind people enjoy the pleasure of others." ”

Mary: "I don't understand, how can you make others happy as a head? If you don't do penance, won't there be more than one person in the world who suffers? ”

Wei Jiaqing: "Tou Tuo can't argue, but if you want to be reincarnated in this life, you must do penance in this life. ”

Mary shook her head, confused.

Several lanterns are hung high, and the palace embroidery on the lanterns sways in the wind.

The sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Zhongliang and his party appeared at the end of the wilderness.

Hao Tianlei: "Prince, look, lanterns." ”

Zhang Zhongliang paused slightly, and galloped towards the lantern.

The crowd followed closely.

When he arrived at the lantern, Hao Tianlei dismounted and took off the lantern: "Prince, there are palace marks on the lanterns, and they must be nearby." ”

Mary, Wei Jue, and Wei Jia Qingtou were still sitting around the campfire.

Mary sighed: "If you want to be happy in this life, you must do penance in this life?" If there is a certain number of joys and pains in this life, even if the joy is exhausted in this life, what harm is there in suffering in the next life? Happiness first, then happiness, first bitterness and then bitterness are much the same. I don't understand, the emperor's people are extremely noble, and they can't give up their own dignity and go to penance, even if they can achieve something, how can the next life be noble and better than the emperor of this world? ”

Wei Jiaqing: "Toutuo is clumsy, and he can't argue with the crown princess." ”

Mary: "I'm not just trying to argue who is coming, it's just that I don't understand this practice. "Throw down the fire hook and want to stand up and return to the account.

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Mary: "It's a real headache to think about these things that are so long gone. Let's sleep. ”

Wei Jue and Wei Jia extinguished the fire.

Mary walked to the tent with a big belly, supported by the palace maid.

Zhang Zhongliang searched all the way, walked out from behind the hill, saw Mary, stopped, he looked at Mary's back in a daze, tears blurred his eyes. When Mary reached the door of the tent, he could no longer control it, and called softly: "Concubine-"

Mary was stunned for a moment, looked around, slowly turned around, and muttered to herself: "Zhang Zhongliang, is it you?" ”

Zhang Zhongliang called, "Mary - yes, it's me." "Hurry forward.

Mary's eyes were wet with tears, and she took a step forward, as if she were about to faint.

Zhang Zhongliang hugged Mary, Mary hugged Zhang Zhongliang tightly, and the two hugged each other and were reluctant to part for a long time.
