It was already dusk when Li Zhao and his party left Pingnan Valley, and by the time they arrived at Huili City, north of Pingnan Valley, it was already midnight.

The gates of the city were closed, and the two soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye to the money as soon as they saw it, and let them enter the city, without even checking the passage documents.

Xue Huai made the decision and found an inn named Shunlai to settle down.

Li Zhao was the last to get off the bus.

After she packed up her books, she jumped out of the car with her baggage and sword, and as soon as she turned her head and said goodbye to the little man who was leading the horse, she heard the doctor's puzzled and slightly surprised voice behind her.

"Sister Zhao'er?"

This title seemed to uncover Li Zhaochen's sealed memory, and every word in the letter poured into her mind in an instant.

Li Zhao turned around.

I saw a woman in a green shirt holding a woman's bun standing under the warm yellow inn light, she was wiping her hands with a cloth, and her eyes flashed with the joy of reunion after a long absence.

"...... Liu" Li Zhao's fingers holding the burden tightened, hesitated for a moment, and shouted, "Sister Liu." ”

"Liu Niang, have you met an acquaintance?" a male voice came from the inn.

"Well, Gu Lang, it's Sister Zhao'er who is here. Liu Niang walked over quickly, and as soon as she grabbed Li Zhao's hand, tears spread out in an instant, "That letter...... I shouldn't have given you that letter, if I had known that you were so impulsive, I, I ......"

Two tears fell on the back of Li Zhao's hand, warm and wet.

"Where Sister Liu said, I can help you, so naturally I have to take a hand. Li Zhao's reaction was not unpleasant, and his words were seamless.

"Then, how is Sister Zhao'er living now? Gu Lang came back to tell me after going to Huizhou a few days ago that the wanted warrants issued by Hengzhou have not been withdrawn so far, and it is just in our remote place...... If you want to travel around to study like you used to, what would it be?" Liu Niang said with anxiety.

Travelling to study?

Li Zhao chewed these four words, patted the back of Liu Niang's hand, and comforted her: "Sister Liu is too worried, now I have a group of trusted friends, walking with them, and the government's wanted warrant is not a big deal." ”

After speaking, she smiled with her eyes in her eyes, seven points true, three points jokingly said: "Besides, the world is in chaos now, not to mention that Hengzhou sent me to arrest me, if you provoke me, I will rush to Hengzhou to do that Ran Jue." ”

She blinked her right eye, a little playful.

Liu Niang was amused by what she said, and hurriedly pulled her to the inn, and said as she walked: "You are still the same as then, you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, it's good." ”

The Shunlai Inn turned out to be opened by Liu Niang and her Gu Lang.

Gu Lang, full name Gu Zhaoyun.

People from Hengzhou, serious people, but unfortunately their parents died early, their families were poor, and they met Ran Jue's bandit-like evil, so that they missed the Jinshi exam.

However, if the exam was wrong, it was the best woman who got the report in the end.

It's a blessing.

As for Liu Niang -

Liu Niang's name is Yingyue, and she is a native of Qiongzhou.

She left her hometown and settled in Hengzhou, where she made a living selling tofu.

Leaving early and returning to the land late to make a living, Liu Niang was also coveted by the evil young Ran Jue because of this, and robbed if the flirting failed, and therefore there was a story of Li Zhao entering Hengzhou alone and changing the tanuki for the prince.

But if you want to talk about the fate of Liu Niang and Li Zhao, you have to start from when Liu Niang left home.

At that time, Qiongzhou was plagued by insects and waterlogging, and the crops planted were not harvested. Liu Niang's father died early, her mother was seriously ill, and the eldest sister was left to pull the five younger siblings under her.

Natural disasters are like this, and the imperial court's disaster relief silver grain was allocated to Qiongzhou in batches.

It's a pity that even if the silver, grain and grass arrived at the government, they were embezzled by the adults, and the little scattered things were just a little leakage from the corners of the adults' mouths, which was not enough for people's livelihood.

There is no harvest, but there are still taxes to be paid.

Liu Niang's mother died of illness soon after, and her eldest sister didn't last long, the brothers and sisters in the family starved to death, and died of illness, leaving Liu Niang with a hard life, and survived by gnawing on the turf and muddy water.

Later, Liu Niang finally waited for a glimmer of life.

A group of caravans passing through Qiongzhou saw that Liu Niang's hands and feet were nimble and good-looking, and out of sympathy, they decided to give her a ride and take her out of Qiongzhou. But such good deeds are limited only before the caravan reaches its destination.

The place where the caravan was going was Annam, west of Takishu.

But Liu Niang didn't have paperwork, so she couldn't enter a big city like Annan, so she could only leave the caravan and go to a small place like Yunjidong.

There were many bandits in the Yunji Cave, and Liu Niang was alone, so she was robbed unsurprisingly.

She has no money, but she has a good look.

How could the bandits who drank blood all day long ever seen a beautiful lady like Liu Niang, even if they kidnapped Liu Niang, they would take them back to the cottage.

At that time, Li Zhao happened to pass through Yunji Cave with his sword on his back.

In this way, Li Zhao saved Liu Niang by mistake, and a few months later, it was Li Zhao who took Liu Niang on the road together, not only that, but also spent a lot of money to pick a small place for Liu Niang to buy a passage paperwork.

The relationship between the two has also become closer because of this journey.

Li Zhao listened to Liu Niang's reminiscences, and was pulled by Liu Niang to sit down in the inn lobby.

It was late at night, and there was no one sitting in the inn for a long time.

Ding Youhai and Gu Yizhu were led upstairs to the guest room to rest by the guys at the inn, Qin Gang went out to find a doctor in the city, Xue Huai didn't plan to rest now, so he looked down at Li Zhao on the second floor with a sword.

In the final analysis, he was still a little worried about Li Zhao, after all, this was the inn he was looking for, although Li Zhao emphasized that Liu Niang was her old time, but Xue Huai knew that Li Zhao had no memory of the past.

At this point, Xue Huai felt that it was his responsibility to take care of her.

Gu Zhaoyun saw Li Zhao sitting down, and hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea and a plate of snacks, and by the way, landed beside Liu Niang.

Li Zhao looked at Qin Se and Ming's husband and wife, and smiled. She took a sip of the hot tea sent by Gu Zhaoyun and asked, "Sister Liu, do you remember where I came from?"

She asked so naturally that Liu Niang didn't feel that there was anything wrong, thinking that she was talking and laughing with herself.

"I remember that Sister Zhao'er said at the time that she traveled lightly from Jiuzhen all the way, and Jiuzhen was thousands of miles away from Yunji Cave, and I was able to be rescued by Sister Zhao'er, which was really blessed by God.

Yikes......

Speaking of which, when I saw Zhao'er's sister for the first time, I was sighing, how good it would be if all the women in the world could live as sassy as you. ”

Liu Niang's eyes were far away, and she continued with longing on her face: "But you said that everyone has their own way of living, and some people are born to suffer more, so it is not enough to suffer at home, you have to go out to study and endure hardships." ”
