Changhuai County, one of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Huaizhou, is located in the east of Huaizhou. The county has developed river transportation, sufficient food, and its economy is second only to Yunhuai County.
It's late afternoon, just after midnight.
West of Changhuai City, Ping'an Inn.
In the private room on the second floor, the beautiful girl's eyebrows trembled slightly, her thick eyelids rolled, and she slowly opened her eyes, as if she was connected to the world again. After she became conscious, the soreness emanating from all parts of her body was immediately transmitted to her.
Her brain was so exhausted that she collapsed on the bed.
But soon, Song Yao seemed to remember something and climbed up from the bed with great effort. The quilt covering her body slowly slipped off. She lowered her head and found that she was completely naked. The two huge white balls were still firm.
Still flickering.
"ah!"
He was stunned for a moment and quickly grabbed the quilt to cover his body.
She raised her eyes and looked around. There was a round table covered with a blue-purple tablecloth, and the shelves by the window were filled with shiny small objects and various decorations. The room was very clean and tidy, but these were all
Not the point.
The point is, why is she here?
Could it be that those assassins killed Li Yu and the others, and then attacked themselves...
Thinking of this, she quickly reached out to touch a certain place, but found nothing unusual.
Just when Song Yao's eyes were full of doubts, the door opened with a creak. She was so frightened that she quickly wrapped her body tightly with the quilt, but she felt relieved the next second.
Jiang Ran took the porridge that the waiter had just brought and slowly walked to the round table and put it down: "Wake up, are you hungry? Let's drink some porridge to warm your stomach first. There are a lot of blood stains on your clothes, so I will help you take them off."
Come down and let the wine wash you off."
Jiu'er put Song Yao's clothes aside, closed the door and locked it.
Song Yao touched her belly and felt a little hungry, so she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Okay, it's so big!" Jiu'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't help but look down at her own, feeling frustration suddenly welling up in her heart.
Song Yao glanced at her angrily, quickly grabbed the clothes, and asked while putting them on: "Where is Li Yu?"
"Don't worry, the prince is fine. He went out with Tang Ji." Song Xi walked behind Song Yao and helped her straighten her clothes.
After a while, Song Yao got dressed, sat down at the table, picked up the porcelain bowl and started to eat happily. After eating two bites, she turned her eyes to Jiang Ran: "What happened last night? We have already arrived in Changhuai County?"
"Well." Jiang Ran sat down next to her, poured a glass of water and handed it over, briefly explaining what happened last night: "...We arrived in Changhuaicheng early in the morning and rested all morning.
, after lunch, they went out."
Jiu'er sat on the side with her butt sticking out, holding her head with her hands, staring at Song Yao: "Sister Yao, you are only seventeen years old this year, how can you reach the top of the first class?"
"The peak of the first-class?" Song Yao stopped her movements and added: "I have only been in the first-class for half a year, how can I reach the peak?"
Jiu'er was a little confused, but she remembered that her master once said that people can burst out their potential when they are most dangerous or when they are very focused. It seems that this is the case for Song Yao. She nodded slightly and killed several people after she was drunk last night.
The matter was told once.
Song Yao's focus was obviously different from Jiu'er's. After hearing this, she was not happy because she realized the power in advance. Instead, she rubbed her messy hair with some annoyance: "Ah~ what have I done? Now in his heart
The impression is about to get even worse!”
"No, the prince said you are very powerful!" Jiu'er replied, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Song Yao's protruding part against the table, smiled playfully, and praised: "I think you are very powerful too, sister Yao, you
What did you eat? Why is it so big? Are you usually wrapped up? Why couldn't you see it before..."
Listening to her asking several such shameless topics, Song Yao's face turned crimson, she drank the hot porridge in the bowl in one breath, grabbed the little girl's braid, and struck out with her dragon claw hand.
: "I will teach you now."
"Ah, miss, help me!" Jiu'er struggled desperately, but was still dragged to the bed by Song Yao, and the two soon struggled together.
...
Niujia Village, northern suburb of Changhuai County.
"My lord, be careful where you step." Changhuai County Magistrate Zhao Changlin, wearing dark green official uniform, bowed slightly and reminded Li Yu.
Li Yu stepped down from the horse stool, stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Tang Ji, this is where you grew up. It looks pretty good."
His words came from the bottom of his heart. Compared with living in a deep palace, living in a small village like this, fishing and catching shrimp every day seemed to be more enjoyable.
Tang Ji didn't answer because he didn't live here at all when he was a child.
"Your Majesty, you have to answer your questions quickly!" Zhao Changlin glanced at Tang Ji with some displeasure, then explained to Li Yu with a smile: "For your information, Your Majesty, there are more than 380 people in Niujia Village. Normally,
Live by farming..."
"Okay, okay, stop yelling." Li Yu raised his hand to interrupt the other party, then picked his ears impatiently, and then walked into the village first.
There are no whitewashed walls or green tiles in the village, only earthen walls and thatched houses. The ground is also uneven, with small potholes appearing every few steps. There is also a slight smell in the air from time to time.
Zhao Changlin followed Li Yu and Tang Ji, a little surprised by the relationship between the two, but now he was more curious about where Muramasa died. He had obviously sent someone to notify him, but he still hadn't shown up yet.
.
Just when Tang Ji was about to find someone to ask, a woman wearing patched gray clothes and a sallow face walked over by the roadside. She stared at him for a few times, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "You,
You are Xiao Ji!"
"Auntie, do you know me?" Tang Ji asked.
Aunt Sun scratched her hair in confusion and looked at the other person again. After confirming that it was Tang Jihou, she asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ji, what's wrong with you? You don't even recognize Aunt Sun anymore?"
Seeing that the other party recognized him, Tang Ji kept a smile on his lips and roughly made up a lie that he had fallen and lost his memory.
After hearing this, Aunt Sun looked distressed and said: "What a pitiful baby. He can't even find his home. How sad would Old Wu be if he knew about it. Let's go, I'll take you home."
In this way, the group of people followed Aunt Sun towards the village and stopped outside a small courtyard.
"Well, this is it." Aunt Sun pointed to the small courtyard.
Just at this moment, an old man in white with gray hair on his temples ran over with two men in sackcloth. He stopped in front of Zhao Changlin, glanced left and right, and quickly cast his eyes on Li Yu, kneeling down and saying:
"See His Highness King You."
Although Aunt Sun didn't know what was going on, even Muramasa had to kneel down. She, a woman, must have saluted and knelt down accordingly.
Since Li Yu got to know Tang Ji, he became tired of these red tapes. He waved his hands and said, "You guys stay outside, Tang Ji and I will go in."
After saying that, the two of them pushed open the door of the small courtyard.
Aunt Sun lowered her voice and asked the village leader Wu Youzhi: "Old Wu, what is going on?"
"How do I know? Because it was Tang Ji who became famous. The old man knew that this kid would be successful when he grows up!" Wu Youzhi straightened his waist and proudly stroked his white beard.
