Looking at the frightened old woman, Yizhou could only comfort her again, "No, grandma, this time we have more people and the other party has less people. It is impossible for us to fail again. Besides, even if we fail, they will only attack others." Where in the city would you stay in such a small village?"
Just as he was talking, a guard's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness has an order. It's getting dark soon. Let's all rest where we are and continue our journey tomorrow!"
Yizhou: "..."
These people really know how to pick places.
Compared to everyone who was at a loss, Liu Shengsheng just took a few bites and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Go back when you're full."
"Girl, Ah Chen hasn't woken up yet..."
Yizhou said softly.
The old woman was worried, "It's almost dark now, and there are so many officers and soldiers outside. It's not safe to go on the road..."
"Yes, girl, we spent the whole night arriving at the lake. Now we set off to go back. No matter what, we won't arrive until dawn tomorrow, and we have to take a small path over the mountains and ridges. We can only go so fast by using Qinggong all the way. Yesterday we I haven’t had a good rest, so I’d better rest for the night and start our journey again at dawn tomorrow.”
After listening to Yizhou's words, the old woman pointed to a room next to her and said, "Why don't you go back to your room to rest first? That room is a guest room and it's very clean."
It was already sunset, and Liu Shengsheng did feel tired, but she didn't hesitate and went straight into the house to rest.
Footsteps were coming and going on the street. Just sitting in the yard, you could hear the sound of horse hooves. The strong sense of oppression made everyone in the yard afraid to make a sound. When it got dark, everyone returned to the house. rest.
The streets of Nuoda are now crowded with people. Countless guards are resting on the roadside. Some are sitting on the spot, while others are leaning under the trees. Many people have made fires. At a glance, they are densely packed with people. Soldiers.
Suddenly, a woman's piercing scream came from the courtyard on the roadside. The soldiers outside looked at each other, but no one dared to rush into the courtyard.
"Your Highness, have mercy! Have mercy, Your Highness!"
Sounds of begging for mercy echoed through the sky, and a woman in military uniform was seen kneeling in the yard with disheveled hair, her small face covered with tears.
Beside her, Xiao Jiang was furious, "You dare to disguise yourself as a man and deliberately seduce the prince, you are so brave!"
The woman was crying and out of breath, "No, I really want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I have practiced martial arts well. I..."
"That's enough! Look at how disheveled you are, and you go into battle to kill the enemy. Are you afraid that you will be embarrassed? Who put you here? If you don't explain clearly, I will kill you now!"
"Really not. I joined the army based on my ability. I..."
"Based on your ability to climb into bed?"
Xiao Jiang interrupted her mercilessly, "Come here, drag this girl out and beat her to death with a stick!"
"No! Please spare me! Your Highness, Prince Cang, I really didn't mean it. I didn't mean to seduce you. I just thought you were tired and wanted to make you a cup of hot tea. Please spare me!" "
The woman screamed heartbreakingly, and just as she was about to be dragged down, the door in front of her suddenly opened, and then, an extremely handsome man slowly walked out.
Seeing Nan Muze, the woman seemed to have seen a savior, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, there is a misunderstanding about this matter. I did disguise myself as a man, but I also want to help the country..."
"help?"
Nan Muze said lightly.
The woman nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I joined the army for my father because I just wanted to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. Even if I die for the country, I will die! Everything that happened just now was an accident. I didn't mean to fall into your arms." , I was really careless, I also tore my hair carelessly, I..."
"Stop talking nonsense here. Do you women all have the same little thoughts? Along the way, no fewer than five women fell into the prince's arms, and no less than ten fainted in the middle of the road. Our prince is going Those who fight do not come out to choose concubines, but you are the most scheming, and you even disguise yourself as a man. It is not a pity for you to die!"
Xiao Jiang was furious, and looked at Nan Mu Ze and said, "Master, maybe killing her is too easy for her. Since she wants a man so much, it's better to just throw her into the military camp."
In the frightened eyes of the woman, Nan Muze said lightly: "That's right."
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes turned white and she fainted on the spot...
As the woman was dragged down, Xiao Jiang's anger subsided a little, "With such a heavy punishment, let's see if those cunning women still dare to have such evil ideas."
Nan Muze lost a lot of weight, and his tone was a little weak, "How far is it left?"
"If we go back, we will continue along the main road. It will probably take another two or three days..."
After a pause, Xiao Jiang added: "The path will be closer, but the path requires climbing over mountains and ridges. The road is narrow and winding, so it is not suitable for soldiers to travel together. After all, many paths cannot even be passed by horses..."
Nan Muze didn't speak, turned around and returned to the house, but sat quietly by the window, looking at the rising moon, his eyes full of sadness.
At the same time, Liu Shengsheng didn't sleep for a long time after returning to the house.
She sat alone in front of the window, watching the moon hanging high in the sky, with mixed feelings in her heart.
I don’t know if leaving the capital is right or wrong.
She originally thought that she would live a relaxed life after she faked her death and escaped. She thought that as long as she was free, she would be happy every day, but she was really alone, but her heart felt empty. ap.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Liu Shengsheng's face darkened, "Who?"
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat an orange..."
Liu Shengsheng opened the door vigilantly, looked at the pitiful Nan Bangning outside, and said coldly: "You still knock on the door in the middle of the night, why can't you calm down?"
Nan Banning was frightened by her indifference and took a step back. "My sister is a good person. I am not afraid. I will give her oranges to eat..."
Liu Shengsheng said nothing. A silver needle appeared in her hand. She picked up the silver needle and shook it. With a flick of her finger, the silver needle pierced the back of Nan Wanning's hand.
He screamed in pain and dropped the plate in his hand to the floor.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
Nan Bangning cried while crying.
His eyes were full of confusion, and he obviously didn't understand what Liu Shengsheng meant.
Liu Shengsheng just looked at him intently, "You should know that silver needles are poisonous, right? If you admit that you have not lost your memory at this time, I can still spare your life. Otherwise, without even a stick of incense, you will bleed from all your orifices and die." Death."
Liu Shengsheng was not joking.
But Nan Banning just grabbed his wrist and kept crying out in pain. This movement soon attracted the old woman's attention.
I saw the old woman running out of the room opposite, "What's going on, my dear grandson? What's going on?"
Seeing the old woman coming out, Nan Banning hid his hands behind his back, and then whispered: "It's okay, grandma, I just cut oranges for my eldest sister to eat, and accidentally dropped the oranges. Grandma, go back to sleep..."
He was sweating profusely, but in order not to worry the old lady, he still endured the severe pain and smiled.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. Big sister is going to bed, so don't disturb her."
After saying that, she returned to the house.
Nan Wanning's lips were gradually turning purple, but he still wanted to pick up the oranges on the ground, but just as he was about to squat down, he fell down weakly...
