At the dinner table.
Chu Li set the table and Feng Hean and Rong Jin came in. When they saw she was still there, they both frowned in surprise.
Now that you've heard that the Regent was injured, why don't you hurry down the mountain?
Could it be that she has fallen in love with someone else?
The two looked at each other, neither of them could figure out the reason.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, it's time to eat."
"Thank you for your hard work, junior sister." The two of them sat down.
"By the way, junior sister, the leg of the table in my room is broken. Can you help me fix it? Ahem... you know, I don't have any strength. I have been weak and sickly since I was a child. Ahem..." Feng Hean coughed.
"no problem."
Rong Jin immediately said:
"I wanted to plant some flowers outside the window, but I accidentally hurt my hand while practicing swordplay yesterday."
"Third Brother, I will help you plant it tomorrow."
"I want to eat chicken tomorrow."
"I'm going to the mountains to fight."
"My clothes are torn..."
"I'll help you make it up tomorrow."
"And me..."
After telling him all the work that needed to be done, Chu Li rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
When the master was away, she acted as both father and mother, supporting the school.
In the morning, I watered the vegetables and made breakfast; at noon, I went hunting and made lunch; in the afternoon, I chopped wood; in the evening, I mended clothes…
After three days of running around like this, she was finally exhausted like a dog and couldn't run any more.
She came to her master's sect to find her home and live out her days in seclusion, not to be a slave.
She can't stand it anymore!
Early on the fourth day, he left a letter and quickly went down the mountain.
Feng Hean saw the letter and there were only two words written on it: Goodbye.
He raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Finally got rid of them."
Rong Jin came over, "What about Second Senior Brother?"
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to Lu Yunchu."
-
Go down the mountain.
Without asking around specifically, Chu Li just found a passerby and asked a few questions, and he found out about the current situation.
The Regent has already advanced into the abdomen, and within twenty days, he will be able to reach the imperial capital.
The closer you are to the imperial capital, the more guards there are and the harder it is to fight.
I can't help but think of what my senior brother said a few days ago...
He is injured.
Chu Li pursed her lips and went to Qingcheng, the Regent's current station.
Qingcheng.
The people came and went because of the regent's benevolent rule. He did not kill people indiscriminately. After occupying the city, he still gave the people a safe place to live, winning the support of the people.
Chu Li entered the city and went to the City Lord's Mansion in the center, but suddenly ran into a little beggar who was crying.
The little beggar was about four or five years old. His eyes were red from crying as he looked at a bun on the ground that was crushed by the wheels.
Chu Li couldn't help but stop and look at the carriage that had just passed by.
Sighed.
From ancient times to the present, what this world lacks the least is people suffering.
She went to a nearby stall, bought a piece of sweet cake, folded it back, and handed it to him, "Eat it."
The little beggar was surprised.
After hesitating for a long time, he dared to stretch out his black hands and choked up to say thank you: "Thank you, my dear."
Holding it in both hands, he gobbled it up.
Chu Li felt pity:
"I have some silver here, take it."
She took out her purse and prepared to take out the silver, but there were many people on the street and the little beggar was very young. If she showed her wealth, she would only cause trouble.
Then he put the whole purse into his hand,
"Hide it well, don't let anyone snatch it away."
The little beggar wiped his tears with the back of his hand and thanked the woman again and again. He was so grateful that he couldn't speak. When he looked at the crowd again, the woman had already left.
At this moment, a group of soldiers passed by at the other end of the long street, and the people immediately retreated to both sides.
The man rode his horse through.
A gust of wind blew, and the sweet aroma of the steamed cakes on the stall drifted into my nose.
The horse's hooves stopped slightly.
Chu Dichi looked at the stall, his eyes a little dazed, and couldn't help but think of Xiaojiu's favorite sweet cakes...
When she was young, it was also the first time he bought her a sweet cake.
"Master, shall we go?" the frightened figure behind asked in a low voice.
After a while.
Chu Dichi retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go..."
etc!
He saw a little beggar on the side of the road, holding a half-eaten sweet cake and a... lotus pink purse in his hand.
When it came into view, the pupils shrank slightly.
He jumped off his horse, ran straight to the little beggar, grabbed the purse,
"Who gave this to you?"
-
At this time, on the other side.
Pedestrians were busy coming and going. Chu Li sat under a willow tree, his body dotted with mottled and fragmented sunlight. He looked at the painted boats floating in the lake and listened to the old man playing Go not far away, fighting and discussing:
"It's good to have the regent in power. We ordinary people can live a stable life."
“That’s right…”
"I hope he can return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. There cannot be two rulers in one country, and there cannot be two tigers in one mountain."
"Given his strength, I think it's only a matter of time, haha..."
Perhaps these words were more pleasant to the ear, as Chu Li could hear them chuckle once or twice from time to time.
It's a rare moment of peace and tranquility under the sun.
Da da...
Snap, Snap——
As she was listening, Chu Li saw a round peace locket that must have fallen off. It rolled to her feet and stopped only after hitting her shoes.
She bent to pick it up.
As soon as the fingertips extended, a large palm with distinct joints reached out.
The two met each other.
She lowered her head and smiled: "I'll help you."
"Thank you."
The magnetic voice with a suppressed tremor seemed to strike deep into Chu Li's soul in an instant, making Chu Li feel as if an electric current ran through his whole body.
I raised my head suddenly and saw a familiar face.
Chu Di is late!
She subconsciously took a half step back, but the man hugged her tightly in his arms. The strong force of his arms almost crushed her into bones and blood.
The familiar scent of ebony and agarwood instantly made her eyes red.
"It's really you!"
Chu Dichi hugged her tightly and would never let go in this life.
"That night when we attacked the city, that familiar voice among the army, that peeping in the dark, was never my hallucination."
It's her!
The person you love with all your heart can be seen at a glance even if he is in a huge crowd of people.
"Why were you here all this time without telling me? Xiaojiu, are you...blaming me?"
The man's trembling and self-blaming voice made Chu Li's breath stop.
How dare she blame him?
How can I blame him?
The person who should say sorry is obviously her!
"I blame myself for not being able to be by your side when you needed me the most. I blame myself for not protecting Concubine Wen. It's all my fault..."
"Uncle!"
Chu Li raised her head from his arms, her eyes moist.
"It's not your fault, it's... it's..."
It's her.
She was sorry for him.
But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say, "I was injured some time ago and I'm recovering now. I don't want to make you worry, so..."
"Where are you injured? How are you now? Let me see!"
Chu Dichi was worried and wanted to check, but Chu Li grabbed his wrist and burst into tears:
“I’m fine… I’m fine…”
Why didn't he ask about how she stabbed him?
Why didn't he ask about all the hardships and difficulties she had brought him!
