Faced with such a smart and cunning Chu Zhao, Xie Chengfeng could only sigh again: "A Zhao, you are really different from before."

"Senior brother, which version of Chu Zhao do you want to see more?" Chu Zhao asked.

Xie Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Of course I hope that Ah Zhao can be self-reliant, free and do as he pleases, but you have changed too quickly in just one year, which makes me feel like I have known a fake Chu Zhao before."

"No, in other words, the current one is a fake Chu Zhao."

"It's not right to say that. In short, Azhao, you are now more powerful than I imagined."

Xie Chengfeng was struggling and tried several words but still couldn't express his feelings perfectly. Finally he said: "Azhao, just follow your heart and live the way you feel most comfortable. That is definitely what senior brother wants to see the most. Azhao."

"Senior brother, don't worry, I will do it." Chu Zhao said.

Chu Zhao and Chu Zhao will definitely live their best lives as girls.

Xie Chengfeng looked at the girl in front of him, whose true appearance was covered, but her eyes were always firm, and he made up his mind: "Ah Zhao, through these few days of getting along, senior brother knows what you are capable of, and I have nothing to worry about you anymore. , Senior brother plans to leave for the capital now, and the journey from now on will be up to you."

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, with a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but then he smiled and said: "Okay, I will take care of myself. Senior brother, please take care of yourself. Maybe one day we will meet in the capital."

"Okay." Xie Chengfeng nodded, walked to the bed and said goodbye to Lai Hong. He also told Aao to take good care of Chu Zhao, then turned around and strode away resolutely.

Chu Zhao knew that someone was watching outside, so he didn't go out to see him off. He walked to the window and watched through the window screen as his figure gradually faded away in the fiery sunset. In the end, only a shadowy outline remained.

Chu Zhao thought he would walk out of the yard without looking back, but he suddenly stopped under the moon gate and glanced this way.

He seemed to be smiling, but he seemed not to be smiling. He was far away and Chu Zhao couldn't tell, but his iconic smile appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

Chu Zhao thought that no one in the world could smile as brightly as him, like the breeze blowing over the hills at dawn, or the moonlight shining on the river at night.

He is an immortal who rides on the wind, and he is also a knight who walks against the wind. He is Xie Chengfeng, a rare good man in the world.

"Senior brother, take care!" Chu Zhao said softly through the window.

Xie Chengfeng seemed to have heard her words and stopped lingering. He turned back and disappeared outside the Moon Gate with brisk steps.

……

At dawn, Murong Xiao, who had been working hard all night, returned to Yunzhou from Tingyun Pass.

After taking a short rest at Tingyunguan, he rushed back to Jingnan Palace without stopping.

At this time, Chu Zhao had just woken up from the bed at Hongyan Inn.

She hadn't slept so soundly for several days. Because she knew that Murong Xiao had returned to Yunzhou, she could sleep peacefully without even having a dream.

After getting up, Chu Zhao went to the backyard to see Hong.

Laihong's condition was basically stable, and he only needed to take medicine and rest. Chu Zhao taught the old doctor the prescription and precautions, and left with A'ao.

The hammer girl was very reluctant to let go of Chu Zhao.

Because of her appearance and personality, no girl is willing to play with her. Chu Zhao is the only one of the same sex who doesn't dislike her and praises her craftsmanship.

When she heard that Chu Zhao was going to Liangzhou, she also yearned for it, but she had to take care of her injured father and couldn't leave at all, so she gave Chu Zhao a sword she made with her own hands.

The sword was unpretentious from scabbard to hilt, and even a little heavy. However, the moment Chu Zhao unsheathed the sword, the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop and became very chilly.

Chu Zhao was greatly surprised and swung two swords casually. The cold light from the swords poured down like the Milky Way, and like a white dragon flying in the sky, making people dare not look directly.

"Good sword." Chu Zhao admired from the bottom of his heart, "Sister Iron Hammer's craftsmanship is already at the level of a top swordsmith. In time, she will definitely become Mo Xie, a general in the Great Yan Dynasty."

The hammer girl was very happy and said with a smile: "This sword is my most satisfying work. Many people have offered high prices for it, but I am not willing to sell it. Now, let it go to Liangzhou with you instead of me. It will definitely I’ll keep you safe.”

"Okay, then I'm welcome." Chu Zhao accepted her gift generously and asked, "Does this sword have a name?"

"No, you can give it a name." Hammer Girl said.

Chu Zhao thought for a moment: "What do you think of being called Zhao Xi?"

The Hammer girl’s original name was Laixi, which was given to her by her father.

"Combining your name with mine means that you are going to a distant place with me." Chu Zhao explained.

The Hammer girl nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, this name is good, I like this name very much."

"As long as you like it." Chu Zhao said, "I have nothing to offer you now, so I have nothing to give you in return. This name will be regarded as my heart. If I encounter any treasures in the future, I will send them to you to make up for it. "

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." Girl Iron Hammer escorted Chu Zhao to the door and reluctantly warned, "Don't forget me."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chu Zhao waved goodbye to her, and embarked on the journey to Liangzhou again with Zhao Xi Jian and A Ao.

The Hammer Girl originally planned to give Ao a sword as a gift, but after seeing the Zhaoxi Sword, Ao felt a little uncomfortable looking at other swords, so he asked her for a sword.

Chu Zhao joked: "The sword is pretty good too. From now on, you will be my guard with a sword."

Aao: "..."

Although he knew that the master just said it casually, "guards with swords" does not mean that they have swords, but guards sound more majestic than followers!

Well, from now on, he will be the master's bodyguard.

The two rode out of Tailai County and headed northwest.

Chu Zhao thought that the closer he went to the center of Shuzhou, the people's livelihood and public security should be better than the border. However, along the way, he found that some places were worse than the border.

This kind of badness is not only reflected in people's livelihood, commodity prices and banditry, but also beggars, refugees, deserters who escaped from the northwest battlefield, and poor people who sell their children and daughters on the roadside with grass in their heads.

When Chu Zhao was in Yunzhou, he wandered the streets every three days. He had never seen such a miserable situation. Now that he has left Yunzhou, he realizes that compared to the outside world, Yunzhou, which is protected by the Jingnan Palace, is simply a desert. Peach Blossom Spring.

Does the imperial court know about the situation in Shuzhou?

Does this situation only exist in Shuzhou, or is it inevitable in the entire Dayan?

Since the He family has the ability to control the government, doesn't it have the ability to take care of the people?

Could it be that all their brains are used in fighting for power?

If the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, what's the use of taking this precarious country into your own hands?

Chu Zhao said he didn't understand.

If given the chance, she really wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of people the He family and his son were, and then ask them personally what they wanted to do.

But she wanted to think about it, how could she be able to see that kind of person who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people?

Now, the best she can do is to save someone who looks down on the disease, and give a little money to someone who can't afford food.

Occasionally she would see a child who had been sold hugging his parents' legs and crying heartily, so she would pay more money to buy the child back and return it to his parents.

A'ao said: "It's useless for the master to do this. After we leave, they will continue to sell the children, because they are not selling the children to make money, but because they can't feed the extra mouths."

If you can't support your own family, you can sell it to a wealthy family or a brothel for a few pennies. At least you can have a bowl of food to eat and your children will not starve to death.

Sometimes, the reality is so cruel, and dignity is not worth mentioning in the face of hunger.

Not everyone can do it without giving in to five buckets of rice.

Of course Chu Zhao understands this truth, but he still can't bear it when he sees his child crying.

Intolerance may be the subtlest and most obvious distinction between good people and bad people.

Good people are always intolerant.

Chu Zhao didn't know if she was a truly good person, but she just couldn't bear it.

Just like how she was injured all over her body but couldn't bear to see A'ao get beaten.

"A'ao, I really hope you are a person of status now." Chu Zhao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"What's your identity?" A'ao asked puzzledly.

Chu Zhao said: "Isn't it often written in those words in the book? A person who suddenly lost his memory must have an unusual experience and identity. He is either a royal family who was framed, or a general who was severely injured. The worst is... He is the eldest son of a wealthy family who was plotted against by his stepmother."

A'ao suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Master also said that it was a storybook, and the things in the storybook are all lies and cannot be taken as true."

Chu Zhao laughed: "I'm just fantasizing. If you are really a powerful person, wouldn't we be able to help more people?"

A'ao said: "This idea is not as practical as treating diseases and saving people."

Chu Zhao: "..."

Well, this guy is just a jerk and has no imagination at all.
