Flags are fluttering on the city tower, and on top of the blue-grey city wall is a two-story, triple-eaves mountain-style gate tower. Looking from a distance, it looks like a majestic bronze beast dormant here.
At the entrance of the crenel, a man in white shirt stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the donkey cart and horse carriage on the official road, which were getting further away, with a faint smile.
"Why did the young master let Mrs. Shen leave so easily? But then sent someone to deliver a message to Qiu Xiaoyun?" Suchi behind him was a little confused by the behavior of his eldest young master.
Wei Zheng looked at the slightly raised curtain of the carriage, half a beautiful figure flashed past, and smiled. "Isn't it interesting to watch the prey trying every possible means to escape only to be caught again?"
Suchi shuddered.
"And..." He curled his lips, "Although my younger brother has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child, he hates Confucianism the most. In his eyes, the relationship between kings, ministers, fathers, sons, brothers, etc. are all disgraceful. It’s a unnecessary burden. Such people can do things without worries. It’s good, but it makes people unavoidable.”
"It's like a sharp blade without a scabbard and a wild horse without a rein. It's not controlled or driven. If it goes crazy, the consequences will be disastrous. Since I want to cooperate with him, I naturally hope that he will be well." He seemed to be true and false. The smile was not a smile, and his robes were blown up by the north wind, like an immortal. He sighed softly and was lost in the cold wind mixed with the vast Northland. "Most of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou are under his command now. What if he goes crazy at this time?" Is good."
Su Chi pondered: "Young master, what you mean is that Mrs. Shen is the general's scabbard? But Mrs. Shen is of mediocre background. Although she is indeed beautiful, she is just a skin after all. There are countless beauties in the world. The general will not even hesitate to kill his father. I'm afraid You may not really take a woman to your heart.”
Wei Zheng didn't answer.
The beautiful woman gradually moved away, and in his mind, the girl's cautious smile was still in front of him. For some reason, he always felt that Wei Cheng's feelings for her were unusual.
Once you find that your beloved pet is trying so hard to leave you -
Wei Zheng felt a sense of amusement in his heart.
"Who knows." He laughed, shook his head, turned around and walked down the tower.
——
Until the majestic city tower could no longer be seen, Shen Yinxiao and Yaren parted ways. Yaren got five taels of silver and a carriage. She was overjoyed. Shen Yinxiao got off the carriage and climbed onto the donkey cart. Starting from the established route, we turned towards Zhongshan Kingdom.
They didn't dare to stop and rest on the road. They shared the cakes brought out with Shen's father and Shen's mother, boiled water in the car to fill their stomachs, and drove on day and night. The Yi River had frozen, and the water was cold enough to support the donkey. Cars walk on it.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait were desolate and desolate, and the donkey cart was not too conspicuous among the pedestrians in twos and threes. This was a bit of comfort for her as she fled for her life. She changed into a brown coarse cloth skirt in the car, and rolled up her hanging black hair. Wrap it in earth-colored coarse cloth and comb it into a woman's bun.
"Dad, this is the windy and cold Yishui!" A young boy with a red face nestled in the arms of a middle-aged man. The man was carrying a pole and carrying his belongings and children across Yishui.
The crisp children's voice floated into her ears along the cold knife-like wind.
"Dad, in the future I will also be a great hero like Jing Ke, just like General Wei, riding a big horse, wearing armor, leading troops to fight, and protecting our family and country!" The child held a wooden knife in his hand, waving it with high morale. Said: "Crunt against the rebels! Destroy the barbarians!"
The middle-aged man laughed, his laughter was rough and honest, "My boy is ambitious!"
Shen Yinxiao's heart felt a little empty for a moment, and she lay on the window edge and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Father Shen looked at the smooth ice surface, stopped the donkey cart, turned over a few pieces of coarse cloth, jumped down, lifted the donkey's hooves, and wrapped them in coarse cloth to prevent slipping.
This short-lived Hebei Changhe River passed through Youzhou. Gao Jianli once built it and Jing Ke sang and talked about it. Prince Dan of Yan once saw off Jing Ke who was about to assassinate Qin here. The snipe and the clam quarreled and the fisherman profited. Proverbs have also spread from here. After thousands of years of rise and fall, those who have left their names are the great heroes recorded in the history books. They have sharp spears and swords, heroic courage, and a glass of cold wine. Since then, they have left a stalwart figure in the history.
Few people remember that in order to win over the heroic hero Jing Ke, Prince Dan of Yan prepared fine wine, gold, horses and beauties. Prince Yan made the harp girl play music. Jing Ke praised the harp girl for her beautiful hand. Prince Dan wanted to give the harp girl to Jing Ke, but Jing Ke refused, saying that it was just a gift. In love with her hands, Prince Dan cut off the hands of the harp girl, filled them in a jade basin, and gave them to Jing Ke. Jing Ke was so moved that he was willing to do the work of dogs and horses for Prince Dan from then on.
[In the midst of wine, the prince reveals a beautiful woman who can play the harp. Ke said: "A good accordion player!"
The prince entered immediately.
Ke said: "But I love my hands and ears."
The prince immediately cut off his hand and served it with a jade bowl.
The day after tomorrow, Ke calmly said: "Ke has served the prince here for three years. However, the prince met Ke very well. He threw gold into a tortoise and a thousand-mile horse's liver. Ji was a good hand, and she was filled with jade. Even a mediocre person would still be happy to do it." The size is so long that it can be used by dogs and horses. Today, Ke often waits at the side of the gentleman. He has heard about the festival of martyrs. Some people die heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather. But I want to know where to use it. The prince is fortunate to teach him."]
Wei Cheng, like Jing Ke and Prince Dan, are heroes whose names will go down in history.
What about her?
She is a piano girl who can't help herself, because her hands will be cut off just because of her master's words.
Even Fan Yuqi who was beheaded was not as good as him. At least he had no head and could still leave a name.
She exhaled the heavy breath in her chest.
Fortunately, she has left there. From now on, there is no Jing Ke or Prince Dan around her, and there are brand new days in front of her.
The originally tired heart suddenly sprouted again.
Will you regret it?
Maybe, but I don't regret it.
Father Shen couldn't tie it up after a long time, so she simply jumped off the carriage and helped her father tie it up.
After all four hooves were done, she helped her father get on the horse and picked up some dry firewood on the ground to boil water in the car later.
It was getting dark. After crossing Yishui, we had to find a place to rest.
After picking up a full pot, she happily walked towards the car. Suddenly, the smile at the corner of her mouth slowly solidified.
Qiu Xiaoyun stood in front of the carriage with an expressionless face, his eyes, like emotionless knives, looking at her coldly.
Impatience and disgust flashed across those brown eyes.
The basin in her hand fell to the ground with a crash, as if it hit her heart. Every piece of firewood seemed to turn into a needle, piercing her heart.
Qiu Xiaoyun approached step by step, and his soap boots suddenly made a "crunching" sound when he stepped on the firewood scattered on the ground.
Her scalp was numb and she retreated subconsciously.
"Ms. Shen." Qiu Xiaoyun said, "The general wants to see you."
