The reborn sycophant

The assassination that took place in Jingzhou on the eighth day of the seventh month, no matter how much momentum it caused in the mountains and forests, it was silent to the distant place where the news was blocked.But it did affect some people. Some people were furious when the assassination failed, some were separated from the guards because of the assassination, and could only find their way home by themselves, and some people finally killed all the assassins and chased after themselves. master...

It's also changing things.

"What are you doing to eat! After so many people went, you are the only one who came back, and you haven't killed me yet?"

Already an adult, the 20-year-old second princess Zhao Chen opened a mansion outside the palace. This is a mansion that is completely royal, with rich doors and golden lacquer.

At this time, the owner of the mansion was in his study, angry at a man in black kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, the Eleventh Highness's people are too powerful. We assassinated twice before and after, all of which were carefully checked before we shot. The second time, there were ambushes both before and after, but those guards were all very skilled in martial arts. , no matter how we fight, they all responded brazenly, and desperately wanted to send His Highness Eleven away... After sending His Highness away, they all seemed to be crazy, and they would definitely not kill us all. Don't retreat. The servant...was also seriously injured and unconscious, and was treated as a dead person by them, so he stole his life back and rushed back to return to you."

"Oh? You mean, as a royal guard, I'm not as good as my eleventh sister?"

Touching the jade lion in front of the desk, the second princess stared at the assassin on the ground suspiciously. The assassin was shocked when he heard this, and kowtowed several times on the ground: "I dare not! Your Highness, give me one more chance, Eleven There are not many people available around His Highness, I will definitely succeed this time!"

"You just said, where is your last ambush?"

Walking in front of the man in black, the second princess squatted down and asked in a cold voice.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the boundary of Jingzhou, three hundred miles northwest of Lancheng." With hope in his heart, the assassin explained everything in detail. After finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground and waited for his master's order.

But he didn't know, he couldn't wait anymore.

His gaze was fixed on the second princess's jade-studded boots, his throat was strangled, and then crushed. He looked at the ground in disbelief, and wanted to look up at the master he was following, but his eyes lost their luster in an instant.

"Thank you for coming back from such a long distance and bringing the news of the failure to His Highness."

After walking back to the desk, he wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief. The Second Highness, who had just brutally killed someone, clapped his hands and looked at the shadow that flashed out of the darkness.

"Do you hear me clearly? Go northwest for three hundred miles from Lancheng, Jingzhou. Use this location as a base to search north, find her, catch up with her, and then... kill her!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Wait, drag him out."

"......Yes!"

The corpses on the ground were cleared away, and in this study room where countless people had died, Zhao Chen touched the jade lion that had been bred to be as smooth as fat, and sat back on the chair again.

Concubine Wan Gui's visiting relatives is a major event, Zhao Chen didn't think much about it at first.But when Concubine Wan Gui returned to the palace, the eleventh sister who used to be by her side disappeared. She became suspicious. Later, the crown prince was abolished. When the empty East Palace was about to move, the imperial concubine remained on hold, and Zhao Ji still did not appear in front of people, and she became even more suspicious.

She suspected that Zhao Ji was not in the palace.

It is not easy to determine whether Zhao Ji is in the palace or not. The father favors Concubine Wan Gui. The concubine is very powerful and manages her palace staff tightly. She has inquired several times, but they always say that His Royal Highness is ill, but No definite result has ever been reported.

Not discouraged, she changed direction.

If Eleventh Sister had really gone to visit her relatives with the concubine, and she was not in the palace now, where would she be?

She should be in Zhuri County.

She must be in Zhuri County.

With such an assumption, Zhao Chen sent several groups of spies to the south. During the repeated inquiries, the new lady named "Wan Qing'er" from Wan Mansion came into Zhao Chen's sight.

The portrait brought back by the spies, who else is not her dear eleventh sister?

Her younger sister, His Royal Highness Zhao Ji.

Even among the many children of His Majesty, Zhao Ji is different.

Her biological mother was Concubine Xian who was once favored by His Majesty. Later, Concubine Xian died of illness, and His Majesty transferred her affection to Concubine Wan Gui. Zhao Ji was also fostered under the name of Concubine Wan Gui.A long time ago, Zhao Chen secretly prayed to God not to let Zhao Ji split into Lord Qianyang.

At that time, the prince was still in power, but the person who gave her the greatest sense of threat was not the irritable brother prince, but her clever and kind eleventh sister.

She never thought that the prince would always be the prince, but she understood that once Zhao Ji became the prince, he would never fall down like a big brother, because her biological mother was Concubine Wan Gui, whom her father loved so much, and because she had what his father loved so much. like all.

She's smart, she's kind, kind?In Zhao Chen's opinion, this thing is the last thing that the emperor's family needs, and she even thinks that her father doesn't have this thing, but it's ironic that maybe she's old, and her father actually likes Zhao Ji's most. !

When Zhao Ji was a child, she was not very hostile to Zhao Ji, but later Zhao Ji split up and became Lord Qianyang.

That Zhao Ji is her enemy, and the most terrifying enemy.

"Sister, don't blame me. Who told you to run out? If you run out, don't think about coming back. "

......

Some people are rich and well-fed, while others are in rags.

From the dense forest in the north of Jingzhou, two little girls dressed in fine clothes gradually came out.The clothes on their bodies were made of the finest silk, but with some blood stained on them, they looked a little scary.They all had sachets and jade pendants hanging around their waists, and the smaller one wore a penetrating jade ring on his head to bind his hair. The hair covered some of his cheeks, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

The slightly older hair was neatly tied up, revealing a pure and beautiful face of Qingzhi, such a face, even a child, is enough to attract the covetousness of many people.

They walked on the narrow mountain roads and the spacious official roads, they drove at night and during the day, as long as they could still walk, they kept walking, as if there was a tiger chasing behind them.

"hungry?"

On the morning of the third day after they separated from Gao Muen and the others, he led Zhao Ji to the west, Wei Chuyan took out a piece of meat and handed it over, Zhao Ji pushed it back.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat something, you didn't eat anything last night."

This is horse meat.

The horse that ran to death was later cut open by Wei Chuyan with a knife, and some meat was roasted. The two endured the nausea and ate as much as possible. At that time, there were a few more pieces of jerky in the package. The jerky was rough, slightly hard, and the taste was not good. Wei Chuyan would not make this.

But Zhao Ji would not.

Rao is such an unpalatable meat, after two days of eating, he still ate most of it. When he found that the food became scarce, Wei Chuyan refused to eat any more, so he coaxed Zhao Ji to eat, and found that she was not Zhao Ji, who couldn't finish his mouth, stopped picking it up, but stubbornly wanted to watch Wei Chuyan eat the meat.

A little sad, neither of them has been hungry before, and they have to learn to save at this time. On the one hand, they feel at a loss, and on the other hand, they get unspeakable comfort in the process of purely thinking about each other.

The problem of eating is still secondary. For the two of them, the most serious problem is not drinking.

The assassin came suddenly, and the escape was even more hasty. The two of them had some money and a self-defense knife, but no water bag or grain bag. Originally in the mountains and forests, they managed to find a spring that was about to dry up, so they supported themselves. It has been two days since the two of them arrived, their lips are already split, the first thing to do is to find water to drink.

However, there is a severe drought here. If there are water sources everywhere, how can there be so many hungry people?

"There, another dead person."

After walking a certain distance, in the tall grass in front of him, several people were prostrate on the ground, and they looked like they had been dead for a long time.

Wei Chuyan went over and said "Sorry", and then turned them around, looking for food and drink.I found two cakes that were as hard as iron that had been baked in the sun, but I couldn't find anything to drink.

Zhao Ji watched from the side, with a frustrated expression on his small face.

The one who died was a little girl, and the other two adults were both in peasant attire, and their clothes were clean, but they all had the same problem: they were too lenient.

In fact, it is not that the clothes are loose, but that the person has become smaller, and the torso that has been shriveled by hunger, how can it support such clothes?

Wei Chuyan stared at them for a while, then looked at Zhao Ji's eye-catching red dress, bit his lower lip, and stretched out his hand to strip the dead man's clothes.

Zhao Ji realized what she was about to do, and stepped back in resistance. After a while, seeing Wei Chuyan's little figure kneeling there, she kicked away the stones at her feet, and stepped forward to help her. peel.

"Must we change into their clothes?"

"That's the only way, this attire...is too conspicuous."

Zhao Ji nodded in resignation, sniffed his nose, and wanted to shed tears again, Chu Yan covered her eyes with the back of his clean hand: "Don't cry, I don't know where to find water to drink, master, don't cry."

The author has something to say: Today's two chapters may be a bit......

But this is the part that I want to write about like a small climax. This part, I want to call it mutual support.

Many things, such as severe drought, cruel officials, greedy city gate officials, people who starved to death, horses who ran to death, these things were brewed together, and the final part was given as "Ku Yuan".
