After Liu Zhiheng went to the kitchen, Duan Wujiu called out the two personal guards.
The two guards were used to it and appeared in the room quietly.
"master……"
Duan Wu Jiu had a smile in his eyes and asked proudly: "Are the clothes A Heng made for me good-looking?"
The two personal guards have gradually become indifferent to Duan Wu Jiu's showing off these days, and said expressionlessly: "It looks good."
"Go ahead."
The two guards hid in the darkness again and left the room.
Although both of them looked calm on their faces, their hearts were still shaken. Master really likes Miss Heng...
Although they knew that it was not good for their master to ignore government affairs like this, after following him for so many years, it was the first time they saw his master so happy. The two of them unconsciously hoped that his master's happy days would last longer...
It will be the first day of junior high school in two days.
During this time, Duan Wujiu got along with his bodyguards, and gradually learned a little about himself: he was King Yan Duan Wujiu, but he usually wore a human skin mask, so no one except those close to him knew his true identity. appearance.
As for his princess and the second daughter of Duke Zhao, their marriage was completely political. They had no bridal chamber and no feelings for each other. The purpose of Princess Yan following him to Yan was to kill him, because she wanted to be His Highness the Sixth Prince and not his wife.
According to his martial arts, the assassination would not be successful. The last time he was able to hurt him was because Duan Wujiu would suffer from hysteria every month. Even so, all ten of her masters died.
It's all useless stuff.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, he estimated that he would probably get sick in the next two days. Thinking about the last time he got sick and killed ten people, Duan Wujiu was afraid that he would hurt Liu Zhiheng, so early in the morning, he left a note for Liu Zhiheng and left alone. , went into the mountains, wanting to spend the time alone during the illness.
Not long after he left, spring grass came.
Liu Zhiheng was asleep in a daze when he was woken up by a knock on the door. He looked at Duan Wujiu next to him and didn't think much about it. He put on his clothes and went to open the door.
The person at the door had a bruised nose and face. Liu Zhiheng didn't recognize him at first sight, but he took a moment to react.
"Spring grass?"
Chun Cao nodded and knelt down in front of Liu Zhiheng.
"Sister Heng, please save me!"
Liu Zhiheng quickly helped Chun Cao up, "Don't worry, come into the house with me first."
The two entered the house, and the wind blew in and blew the note on the table to the ground. Liu Zhiheng did not see Duan Wu Jiu's message.
After entering the house, Liu Zhiheng poured a cup of hot tea for Chun Cao, and then Chun Cao cried and told everything.
It turned out that Chun Cao's family wanted to sell Chun Cao twenty taels of silver to a man from the next village to become his wife. Tortured to death.
Chuncao didn't want to get married, so her father beat her up and took away all the money from the family. She just had to wait until the New Year and the funeral to be taken away.
"How can I get you married off properly?"
"I was kept at home because I could take care of my brother. My brother didn't know what to do. Even my parents were a little afraid of him, so they kept me at home. They wanted to wait until my brother got married before marrying me off. . I never thought that if my brother died suddenly, I would no longer have to stay at home."
Liu Zhiheng sighed, "This can be considered as my harming you."
"Don't say that, I wish Fang Chengcai would die! Sister Heng, I'm looking for you because I want you to help me find Brother Xie."
"Shall I go find Xie Tinglan?" Liu Zhiheng was surprised.
"I can't go to the county seat. I came here to find you because I ran away. My brother can only help me watch for a while... I have to go back immediately. If my parents find out that I'm missing, they will definitely take me back. Go back I'll have to be beaten up again afterwards, and maybe they'll send me to that scoundrel's house tomorrow... I can only beg you..."
"Then what should I tell him?" Liu Zhiheng asked.
"Just tell him what happened to me. Brother Xie is so smart, he must have a way. As long as brother Xie is willing to help me, my parents will definitely be willing."
Liu Zhiheng thought about how he could save Chun Cao.
But in this era, it is difficult for women to do so. They have to obey their father at home and their husband when they are married. His father, let alone asking her to marry a leprous man, even matched her to a ghost marriage and married a dead man, and no one could control it.
If Chun Cao is allowed to escape, how can a woman escape and live? Not to mention that the household registration is strictly controlled, and it cannot be moved at will. Even if there was a way for her to leave Pingzhou, how could she live as a woman?
Even for those women who are quite wealthy, if they don't have the ability to guard their own money, they are just meat on other people's chopping boards. Sooner or later, they will be plotted against them and they will not be able to survive.
What's more, Chuncao is a village girl? In the end, I'm afraid it will end up even more tragic than marrying a leper.
Therefore, Liu Zhiheng knew that Chuncao might really have no choice but to ask Xie Tinglan for help.
It just depends on whether Chun Cao is willing to relent after having devoted all his efforts to Xie Tinglan for so many years.
"Okay, I will run for you. You go back first and wait for my news. No matter what, I will give you an answer today."
After Chun Cao left, Liu Zhiheng changed his clothes and prepared to go into the city.
She wanted Duan Wujiu to accompany her, but Duan Wujiu disappeared. He would occasionally go up the mountain to catch a pheasant or chop some firewood. Liu Zhiheng didn't think much about it and went to catch a pheasant in the chicken coop. He took a few rabbit skins that he had peeled off before, and took them to the village chief's house.
The village chief had a good impression of Liu Zhiheng, a little girl who gave her things every two days. Hearing that she wanted to go to the county town to find Xie Xiucai for something, he asked his son to pull a bullock cart to give her away.
When a classmate came to tell Xie Tinglan that a girl from the same village was looking for him, he didn't want to meet her. He thought it was Chuncao who was looking for him again, and he was very impatient.
Xie Tinglan was just about to let the guard send him away when he heard his classmate say: "I never thought that in a poor and remote place like Pingzhou, we could have such a beautiful little lady. I don't think even women from the capital can compare with her." Go to her, tell me if your Peach Blossom Village is a geomantic treasure, this person is different from those elsewhere."
Xie Tinglan put down the book and realized that it was not Chuncao who came.
Is Liu Zhiheng here?
He immediately got up and went out.
Although it has not snowed these past few days, the north wind is howling and it is very cold. In the white snow, a girl in a red cloak is standing next to an oxcart. Her long black hair is simply tied with a ribbon. The hem of her skirt was slightly fluttering in the north wind, her eyebrows were like the moon, and her eyes were like stars, as bright as a red plum slanting casually in the cold wind.
Xie Tinglan's expression relaxed a lot unconsciously. Although he still had a smileless face, he looked very gentle.
"How did you come?"
Liu Zhiheng stepped forward and said, "Can we go in and talk?"
