Chapter 204 Out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's nest
After staying in the Xuanbing room for half a month, Dongfang Ye was finally released by Zhao Qian from another exit of the organ. The beggar doesn't know about this. He just wants to meet him in the next life, but he can't die quickly. In case he walks behind her, it's really a pity.
It turned out that on the days when Lord Dongfang did not come out of the Xuanbing room, the prime minister's mansion was in a mess. Mrs. Mei washed her face with tears all day long, and Princess Suko sighed that she was ashamed of herself. There are rumors outside that Master Dongfang has become a monk, some say that Master Dongfang has been secretly executed because he has offended the emperor, and some say that Master Dongfang has been taken away as an apprentice by a master outside the world.
Princes Sucome didn't believe it and cried every day to go to the palace to make trouble with the empress dowager, the emperor and queen, and the prince, and asked more bodyguards to find them.
Zhao Qian coaxed her to drag her, trying to wait for her to live the days she miss and allow someone else for her. Unexpectedly, half a month later, Princess Suo has been described as withered, like a widow.
Zhao Qian tested her that day: "Oriental brother is probably hidden for the witch. Will you still wait for him? If you wait any longer, there will be no result. Why don't you let go and find a good marriage for you while you are still young... Sister, you are the only sister who loves you very much, and everything is for you and good for you!"
Princess Sucome replied with tears in her eyes, "Didn't the witch control it for you? How can Brother Dongfang go to seclusion alone? Anyway, I can't see him, and I won't believe it! Even if he is killed by a traitor, I have to see his body! Even if I can see the body, I will mourn for him for three years!"
Zhao Qian saw that she was so stupid and stubborn that he no longer intended to persevere. Then he released Master Dongfang.
Because it was about the beggar, Dongfang didn't say anything.
After the beggar left him, he had coughing up blood, and his body was getting worse and worse. This time, after a very cold invasion, his body and bones were so weak that he could not be hit. Fortunately, thanks to the foundation of martial arts, I saved my life. If I were someone else, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death in the Xuanbing room.
has been severely damaged one after another, and the root of the disease has been buried since then.
The beggar remembered that Master Dongfang was much more obedient. When Zhao Qian fed her medicine, she no longer resisted. He even tried his best to please Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian was not unaware of her thoughts, but was overwhelmed by the sense of achievement. The guard was slowly thrown to Java.
Once, the beggar said anly to him, "You always treat me so arrogantly. But if you are a little tender and considerate to me, I won't be stubborn with you for so long.
Zhao Qian's soul was crisp and hurriedly said, "What you say, I will follow you. As long as you are by my side, you can be so happy every day.
The beggar's eyes were full of tears: "I have been in the capital for so long, and I miss Yanlan City very much. That's the time I miss the most. Now that you have stuffed me in the basement and are about to get moldy, how can you be in a bright mood? And Sister Xiu, I have a very good relationship with her. I dream of her every time, and I wake up feeling sad..."
Zhao Qian frowned and asked for a long time, "Are you going to see Dongfang?"
The beggar said with tears in surprise, "Didn't he die? Is it possible to stay in the Xuanbing room and come out alive?"
Zhao Qian's throat was tight and he stared at her and said, "What if he lives a big life and is lucky not to die?"
The beggar thought and replied, "That's no different from death. Since every time they meet, they don't end well, it makes him more painful. Even if he is alive now, it's just a breath. I'd better avoid it. It's good for anyone.
"You finally opened it." Zhao Qian hugged her and fell on the side of her temples and said, "How long have I waited for this day? If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have..."
"What won't it be?" The beggar's heart was a scratch. Could it be that Mr. Dongfang really suffered a disaster?
"Nothing." Zhao Qian said, "Maybe everything is the best ending."
The beggar doesn't want to say more, so as not to burst out the most real feelings. She touched her stomach and smiled, "Let him see the sunshine."
Zhao Qian was shocked and suddenly took the beggar's hand and said excitedly, "What are you talking about?"
"Look at you, you will think crookedly!" The beggar smiled and said, "If the seeds are exposed to the sun, they will germinate better in the natural air!"
Zhao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed dumbly: "So that's what it means! In order for the beggar to give birth to a good bud, I have to let you go out for a walk!"
After a day, Zhao Qian hurried to the underground room and said to the beggar, "My father allowed me to go to Yanlan to observe the people's feelings, and I will leave in a few days. I can turn you into an entourage and bring you to my side.
The beggar pouted and said unwillingly, "Am I still so unseeable?"
Zhao Qian smiled happily and said, "Not really. The main reason is that I always panic. When you give birth to a child for the prince, I will take you to see your father. Anyway, I will promise you a high position.
The beggar waved his hand and said shyly, "Don't be ashamed. Let's take care of what I need on the way, travel together, and dissipate the haze in my heart.
Zhao Qian naturally agreed. A few days later, the prince took a group of attendants and were ready to go.
Out of the palace gate, the beggar seized the opportunity to go to the toilet all the way and did not let go of everyone who asked passers-by about the news of Dongfang. After asking more than 20 passers-by, he was slightly relieved to hear that Master Dongfang had returned home safely and was recuperating.
Before officially going on the road, the beggar pestered Prince Zhao and went to see Aunt Xiu.
Because the prince was watching not far away, the two sisters only cried and talked about their separation, and the rest were conveyed with their eyes.
Qin Yan's death is a mystery in the heart of the embroidered aunt, and it is also a wound she can't uncover. Although she suspected Zhao Qian, she didn't know the details and the end.
She tried several times to say to the beggar, "I'm pregnant with Qin Yan's flesh and blood", but she swallowed it from her throat again. There is no doubt that Qin Yan died. What if his pregnancy was exposed too early and he was eradicated?
The beggar is also indescribable and can only look at each other. She wants to take Sister Xiu back to Yanlan City and set up a career in Shuihu Xianzhai, but she is a planned person. In case something happens and Sister Xiu is held hostage, how can she be born? So, that's all right. If there is a chance, I'll pick her up next time.
Farewell and cherish each other.
All the way to the west, unlike the remote mountains and fields with Dongfang Ye when he came to the capital, this time he went back to the official road. A flat river, the field is wide, and you can't even see forests and valleys. Even if you escape, where can you hide if there is no shelter?
was worried and heard the bodyguard quietly report: "The Wenzhao Pass leading to the West Desert is still 80 miles away from here."
The beggar's heart moved greatly. Although Wen Zhaoguan is not the only place to go to Yanlan City, it is known as the "strange pass" and is a natural barrier to defend the Guzhu Dynasty. On the other side of the gate is the weeds and yellow desert, and the army is stationed on the border all year round.
I heard that there is a big river in front of it, which originates from the capital and flows through the Zhaoguan Pass, stretching for more than 1,000 miles to form a lake on the border of the desert. The lake water provides for the soldiers at the border.
I don't know what the situation is like at the river border, but is there any hope of escaping?
When he was in the palace, the beggar was in despair. Now I see the outside world, which is wide, bright and full of vitality, and hope can't help but burn. Although it was not vigorous, the flame was burning enough to raise her courage and faith.
So, when you can't live, go to see the natural beauty, which can help you broaden your mind.
I walked for another day and a night, but when I heard the flowing water, the beggar said happily, "If I can't see the water anymore, I will become a drought turtle."
Unconsciously, it has been half a month on the road. At the end of summer, the water and grass are green, and the vine shrubs are very vigorous. The beggar looked for a quiet place and said that he wanted to take a shower. Zhao Qian was afraid that the attendant's bodyguard would see it and recognize that the beggar was his daughter, so he asked them to guard it far away and took the beggar with him.
The beggar was awkward and said that he was not used to taking a bath with a man. Zhao Qian smiled and said, "I want to take a mandarin duck bath. Since you don't agree, I can't force it. Then I will follow the example of Emperor Cheng of Han and take a bath. How happy is it?
The beggar shook his head and said seriously, "You don't want me to know, or you won't have fun."
Zhao Qian agreed with a smile. The beggar flashed behind the bushes, jumped into the water, swam to a dangerous place where the water was divided into nine strands, and exclaimed, "There are snakes!"
The prince panicked, "Where?" He came in a hurry.
The beggar followed the third water flow on the left, dived and went straight downstream.
Prince, beggar, where is the snake? Beggar!" Gradually, the call was inaudible. She took a breath and dived forward regardless of everything. The stone hit her forehead, the water grass wrapped around her fingers, and a small amount of sand poured into her nostrils. She didn't realize it at all. At this moment, there is only one thing in life, which is endless travel. After swimming through the darkness, swimming long, and through the ups and downs, she can usher in light, rebirth and freedom.
Gradually, the water filled her stomach, and she was powerless. The ups and downs, the surrounding scenery swirled, as if they had changed.
In a daze, two people salvaged her, and one person said in surprise, "It's actually a woman!"
Even in a dizzy and unconscious state, the beggar also felt that the shout was as if he had never seen a woman in half his life.
Another said, "Let's carry her to the barracks and give it to the major general."
"You're stupid... It's still more than 60 miles away from the barracks. Are you all right after you're full? Besides, look at this woman. If she can't lift the ground, she will probably be out of breath. Is there still a dead person missing from the barracks? Isn't this looking for bad luck? How good it would be to give our two brothers some suffering before she dies!"
"Well, look at her... she's soaked in blue and white... I... I'm afraid..."
"Look at your courage! Pressing out the water in her stomach, isn't it just a woman who hasn't died? As long as the gas is not cut off, there are so many things to do!"
The beggar only felt a burst of pain from being squeezed on his stomach, and his head seemed to be flooded, and the water kept overflowing from his throat. The seven souls and six souls have been lost.
Finally, my stomach is no longer swollen and uncomfortable. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't see the light. The sound of the cloth cracked and scratched the eardrums harshly. The conversation between the two just now seemed to float in her mind, and she was shocked and sweated coldly: Is this just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's nest again?
The man pinched her and smiled, "Did I say she's not dead?" You see, she still knows the pain! Cold sweat has come out!"
"Don't do this... The general's ban is strict..." another person advised.
"You are really a hero on the battlefield, a coward in a pile of women! It's just you and me here. Is it possible to be found by the general? You're afraid, I'm not afraid, you keep the wind for me..." With that, he dragged the beggar to a deep grass.
The beggar wants to scold, but he can't scold. I wanted to bite the man, but I couldn't even lift his neck. I can't wait to kill him, so I can only lie down and wait to be killed.
I was desperate and felt light. There was a trembling begging for mercy in his ear: "General Ximen, please spare my life..."
"You say it." A vague bass sounded briefly.
The man who begged for mercy suddenly closed his mouth, and the other man told the beginning and end of the matter in detail. How to meet the drowning daughter, how the disciple named Chi Yin saw the lust and did not listen to the advice, all were described.
"Military law." Leaving these four words, the beggar was put on horseback by a pair of broad palms and taken away. Leave the man crawling on his knees and crying and howling.
The man riding on the horse with her put a thin coat on her and ordered: "Ty it up."
The beggar's hands and feet are soft, his eyes are lax, and even his fingers are double shadows. How can he tie his loose and flying belt? Sweat is flowing, and you can't pull the opposite skirt together.
The man seemed to be impatient. He put down the rebars in his hand, put his hands around the back of the beggar's waist, and fastened his belt for her.
This man seemed to have a bad temper, and the beggar made a secret conclusion.
I didn't dare to make a sound, just quietly prayed for good luck. He was silent, and her silence was the countermeasure, so as not to say something wrong and be thrown on horseback to feed the wolves.
