[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Chapter 7 5 Phoenix Valley

Rouran has harassed the border of Wei State for many years. Wei State built the Great Wall and garrisoned fields in the north to resist Rouran.The border area is full of villages and towns inhabited by military households who are ready to go to war at any time, and the folk customs are sturdy. Although most of the north-south trade passes through and settles here, it is still far behind the towns behind and Pingcheng, the capital of Wei.But here is also very lively, you can see caravans and horse teams of foreign nationalities everywhere, those who come and go for business, and those who have settled down, and the Han people and the Hu people get along well.

When they arrived at the border of the Central Plains, Zhiqing left the caravan. She didn't want people to notice her whereabouts, so for the sake of safety, she planned to walk the back road alone.She didn't stop at the border, and hired a carriage to go south all the way. She was going to the simple and peaceful town in her memory, her hometown, Wufeng Valley.

The caravan that followed along the way also had to pass through Wufeng Valley, and Zhiqing had already set out a route with them on the way, and it only took three days and three nights to drive there from the border.The wheels are rolling, passing through the mountains and forests, passing through villages and towns, and Wufeng Valley is not far away.

Almost three and a half years ago, Zhiqing was tied to a carriage and sold from Wei State to Rouran. Now, she escaped from the royal court, and was also sitting in the carriage to return to her long-lost hometown.Thinking of the fire that day, Zhiqing still couldn't help but feel palpitations.

After she was knocked unconscious by the prime minister's bodyguard Dana, she slowly woke up because of the bright fire light and burning sensation around her, but the pungent smoke made her suffocate. Can't even tell the direction.The fire was getting bigger and bigger, she seemed to be in the flames, and the skin on her body seemed to be roasted... Zhiqing collapsed on the ground, feeling that death was not far away from her, and when she was dying, But someone rushed in and rescued her.

When she woke up, she was already in a strange place. The person who rescued her was Wu Luohou. He told her that this was a small inn outside the Wangting camp, and she could rest here with peace of mind.That night, he was going to the banquet with Prince Wu Ti, but he was thinking about someone spying on the prince's Xingyuan. When he came back halfway, he found that Da Na was sneaking away.He hurried to the prince's tent, only to find that a small tent not far away was on fire.

Wu Luohou Fu Zhiqing got up and took a sip of water, and asked: "Dana set the fire, why did he do that?"

Zhiqing thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago, I was caught and whipped by Miss He Hong. When I came back, I accidentally heard the prime minister say something that shouldn't be said. Maybe because of this, he wanted to kill people to silence him."

Wu Luohou looked at Zhiqing in surprise, "Li Duo, you said Miss He Hong beat you, and the Prime Minister wanted to kill you!"

That's right, why did these things happen to me? In fact, she just wanted to live a stable life, so why couldn't she do so.Zhiqing smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's it."

Wu Luohou's frown was slightly loosened when he looked at Zhiqing, "Although what happened was very dangerous, it finally passed, and now everyone in the royal court thinks you are dead, so I don't think the prime minister will pursue it any further. "

Zhiqing was very surprised when she heard Wu Luohou's words, how could Wang Ting think she was dead, he saved her, didn't he tell Wu Ti? "His Highness Wu Ti...do you think I'm dead too?"

Wu Luohou nodded, "Da Na wants to harm you. I think something is wrong. I rescued you last night and settled you here first. When I went back, the fire had been extinguished. Everyone said you were burned to death." After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "I wanted to tell His Highness Wu Ti, but at that time he was in a bad mood and refused to see anyone, so..."

"Really." Zhiqing lowered her eyes slightly, and only responded lightly.

Wu Luohou stood up, looked at Zhiqing and said, "You should have a good rest first, I will come to see you in two days."

Zhiqing sat quietly for a while, not even knowing when Wu Luohou left.She was almost burned to death by the fire, and she was already exhausted at this time, so she lay down and fell asleep again.

After a few days, her body gradually recovered, but she stayed in the inn all the time.She didn't know the situation outside, and she didn't dare to rush back to the royal court, so she could only wait for Wu Luohou to come to see her.A few days later, Wu Luohou finally came and brought her a piece of good news, Wu Ti was sent to the Western Regions by the Prime Minister.

"Li Duo, His Highness Wu Ti is not in the royal court now, I think it will be dangerous for you to go back now."

Zhiqing asked Wu Luohou, "Why did the Prime Minister send His Highness to the Western Regions for no reason?"

"His Highness has been investigating the incident of the fire that night. Perhaps the prime minister was afraid that His Highness would find out the clues, so he gave His Highness the task profusely."

But it has been several days, has Wu Luohou never had a chance to tell the truth?Maybe it was because of what she was thinking, Wu Luohou told her that the prime minister's people were still monitoring Prince Xingyuan, and now is not a good time to speak out.

"What about His Highness Duo Lun, he..." If Wu Ti wasn't around, it would be safer to ask Duo Lun for help, he must have a better way because he is so smart.

"Li Duo!" Wu Luohou supported Zhi Qing's shoulders, looked at her and said, "You were whipped by Miss He Hong because of His Highness Duo Lun, hasn't he brought you enough trouble?" Zhi Qing was surprised Looking up, he even knows this, today's Wu Luohou is very different.Wu Luohou met Zhiqing's inquisitive eyes, and seemed to have made a decision, "Come back to the territory with me, no one will dare to bully you there! It's too dangerous to stay in the royal court!"

Wu Luohou is the son of the patriarch of the Wu clan who is attached to Rouran. In order to show his loyalty to the royal court, Wu Luohou, the eldest son, has been serving as the head of the bodyguard beside Prince Wu Ti. He will return to the territory to succeed the patriarch in the future.He is as tall as a northerner, with healthy wheat-colored skin and regular facial features. He doesn't usually talk much. If he hadn't saved her, Zhiqing wouldn't have known they could talk so much.Just being said by Wu Luohou, Zhiqing couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. In this desert grassland, she seemed to have to rely on someone to survive. Such a fate was so sad that it was ridiculous.

Zhiqing twitched her stiff lips, "Let me think about it..."

Wu Luohou laughed happily, "Don't worry, you will be safe when you arrive in Wuzhi's territory, and I will take you away in a few days..."

No matter where it is, this is not her home after all, Zhiqing feels very tired, the shadow of the fire has been lingering in her mind, she often wakes up sweating profusely in her dreams, only those who have really felt it know the fire dragon Terrible, the pain she will never forget.

Zhiqing paid close attention to the surrounding environment while staying in the inn these days. There are many customers in this inn, and there are also many caravans from the Western Regions.She observed secretly for a few days, and asked the shopkeeper about several caravans she was familiar with, before finally making up her mind.She changed into the clothes of the Great Food Kingdom, covered her face, found a businessman from the Wusun Kingdom, and just before he set off, she decided to take a caravan to leave Rouran.

After leaving the border town, Zhiqing traveled during the day and stayed in a hotel at night, and finally returned to Miss's hometown in the early morning five days later.After paying the coachman for the carriage, she waited at the gate of the city. As soon as Maoshi arrived, facing the golden sunlight, the solemn city gate was slowly opened...

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and walked slowly into the county town.Zhiqing is determined to bury everything about Rouran in her heart, she is already in the Valley of Five Phoenixes, Li Duo, the maid who used to be next to Prince Wu Ti in Rouran's court, is really dead.

In Wei State, the silk of Wufeng Valley is famous all over the world. Walking on the bustling Fengqi Street in Wufeng Valley, the shops lined up on both sides of Qingshiban Road and the crowd here all have an indescribable sense of familiarity.Zhiqing closed her eyes, tried hard to recall the memories in her mind, and muttered while walking:

"This is Huanhuayuan!" She opened her eyes, and sure enough, there were three big characters 'Huanhuayuan' written on the board of a silk shop.

Zhiqing smiled slightly, it seems that her memory has not declined, but the current Huanhua Courtyard is bigger than before, and it looks like it has been renovated.She then went on to move forward, followed by 'Qianse Villa', then to the south was 'Splendid Villa', and to the north was Hua'erjin.Huaerjin is still the same, but the size of Jinxiu Villa has doubled compared to before. It seems that it should be the largest embroidery village in Wufeng Valley.

Facing Fengqi Street is Fengming Street. Tianxingtang is on this street. Apart from this pharmacy, there are many other shops on Fengming Street, but the Qixia Building near it seems to be newly built. Zhiqing had never seen it before.There is a wide river between Qixia Building and Jinxiu Villa, it is a restaurant, she went up to have a look, the scenery here is very beautiful.If you walk along the river to the outskirts for three miles, there is a mountain forest on which Luoshen Manor is built, and its owner is Taishan Beidou Babeican from the weaving and embroidery circle of Wufeng Valley.

Wufeng Valley is very large. There were more than 1000 households more than three years ago, but now I don't know how many.It is impossible for her to finish shopping here at once, just look around in the bustling streets.On Fengming Street, she saw many young girls entering the Tianxing Hall one after another. She looked up at the sun, and it was just past the hour.

By the way, as soon as the time comes, all the embroidered women in the Five Phoenix Valley will go to the Tianxing Hall to soak their hands. This is the secret recipe created by the Five Phoenix Valley.Zhiqing walked forward slowly and stopped outside the pharmacy, looking at those pair of slender hands soaked in the basin with indescribable excitement...
