The New Year is approaching, the wanderer returns home, the wanderer returns to his hometown, and there are no pedestrians on the road.
When the roosters are crowing, it is very quiet.
However, under the elm and poplar trees next to the official road, which had fallen leaves and only a stubble of dead branches, there was a gathering of black people, all with swords around their waists, dressed in strong suits, and with serious faces.
Although there were many people, there was no sound at all.
Everyone's eyes more or less fell on the person at the front.
The thick fog crossed the mountains and spread out, covering most of the Tongzhou city on the plain in front, so even if the distance was only a few kilometers, the outline of the city was blurred.
Xie Wei was still dressed in white.
With a slender body, he sat high on a jujube red horse. Although he didn't see any swords he was wearing, but he lost his Confucian spirit in the courtroom. Consistent, like a knife in its scabbard.
The cold mist fell on the person's face, but it was a chill.
Swords, pianos, swords and books are all behind him.
Right now, although none of them drew their swords and swords, they all faced the Tongzhou City and stared at something.
The east is now fish maw white.
Almost as soon as the first ray of light rose from the ground in the early morning and broke through the fog, a faint white light from the edge of the city rose into the sky from bottom to top, like a white line, which was fleeting.
The sword, piano and sword book was shocked all of a sudden.
A good game has been planned for a long time, and it is the perfect time to close the net.
It's just that there is no joy in his heart.
Xie Weizi also put this ray of white flame into the bottom of his eyes. The end of the deep condensed pupils was dark, but there was no expression on his face. He waved, lowered his eyes and said, "Let's go."
What does the capital and the palace mean to her
The moment he got off the carriage, Jiang Xuening stared at the inn across the street and thought for a long time.
The mist that floated gently in the city, along with the cold wind of winter, fell on her face, wet her simple dress, and made her hang her head, unable to help but look at herself at the moment.
No overcrowded hairpins.
Ayara without restraint.
There is no need to consider the etiquette of the secular world, but in Tongzhou City, which is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, no one knows her identity. The girl is the companion of Princess Leyang in the palace.
All the baggage was lost in an instant.
If a person has not experienced it, he will never understand what is most important to him based on his imagination when he was young.
In the last life, Wan Niang told her that women are born to deceive men, and they are born to beg for glory and wealth. The most honorable and successful woman in the world should sit by the emperor's side, hold the phoenix seal, and let the rest of the world go. A woman has to look at her eyes to live.
She was fed up with the snobbishness of the country.
Later, when I returned to the Jiang Mansion in the capital, I learned about my real life experience, and I felt even more unhappy and resentful. I thought that the high and high God owed her, so I went to the top of the bull's horn and climbed to the master of the six palaces. position.
There is glory, there is wealth.
But if you have these, others will covet them, but you will not live in peace in the countryside. Entering and leaving the palace ban is even more of a dream. If you want to see a lantern festival, I ask Shen Jie. This elegant and cowardly 95th honor can not take her to the market to experience the true taste. Of course, she has prepared a lantern festival in the palace for her. However, when it fell into the mouth of Minister Qingliu, it became her extravagant, frivolous and superficial.
This is wrong, and that is wrong.
If she had followed her back-country temperament, she would have picked up a stick earlier and beat these nonsense old schoolboys one by one without letting them go.
But she is the queen.
If you regret it, you want to throw the phoenix seal and go, but the jester who clings to her won't allow it, and even the favorite concubine in the sixth palace is staring at her, and if she doesn't allow her to walk on the front foot and the back foot, she will be corpse in the wilderness. What's more, there was Shen Jie, who refused to agree, and Yan Lin, who conspired against her and put her under house arrest.
A palace is actually surrounded by high walls and ambushed from all sides.
Gradually, I couldn't sleep well, and it was difficult to sleep at night.
"You can't do it, you really can't do it..."
Jiang Xuening stomped her foot, finally thinking clearly and resolutely.
"Bengong has money in his hand, and Fangyin's thighs. If you leave the capital, you will be able to fly like a fish, and the sky will be so high that the bird will fly. Where can you live a good life? I don't care if they fight! I can't help a weak woman, so I might as well take this opportunity to leave first, lest they be taken back to the capital and get angry!"
As soon as she landed on the ground, she glanced at the inn for the last time. She turned around and did not enter the inn. Instead, Tongzhou City just woke up in the light in the early morning. go in the direction.
The silver taels on her body are enough for her to go to Shu.
When she entered the city last night, she noticed that there was a shop that rented carriages along the way. The money in her hand was enough to buy a maid, a coachman, and even a strong bodyguard. It would be safer to go all the way to Shu.
It is late in the winter, and although there are fewer foreigners coming to and from the city, the businesses of the shops are still doing the same. They all want to sell more New Year's goods during the New Year's Day, or add a few more bowls of meat to the family on New Year's Day. .
So as we walked, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
The carriage house is just ahead.
A flag slanted out from the cold wind, and people were entering and leaving the gate.
Not far from the carriage house, someone set up a tea shed on the street, and just boiled water to make tea for the people who settled down.
"It's really cold this year."
"How can this be considered cold? Saibei is called cold. I just came back from the capital. I heard that some horses froze to death on the way when the Tatars sent their envoys to pay tribute this year..."
"Bah, what kind of tribute is it, it's from begging for peace!"
"One thing, haha, one thing..."
…
Jiang Xuening originally just passed by the tea shed to go to the carriage shop in front. When he heard the word "harmony", he stopped abruptly and turned his head to look into the tea shed.
The people sitting in the tea shed were dressed in different clothes, rich and poor, and their faces were all unfamiliar.
But when she saw it, it felt familiar.
Vaguely returned to the day when You Fangyin married Shudi, left the capital and passed the inn. There seemed to be similar merchants sitting in similar tea sheds, and even the words they were talking about seemed to have similar content.
There is a sky lit by the sun, and there is a thick gray cloud. The row upon row of houses and the old and silent city walls suddenly retreated far, and collapsed into a plain overgrown with decaying grass.
You Fangyin's carriage with red silk has left.
The Praetorian Guards approached in the smoke and dust of the horse's hoofs.
She remembered that she couldn't hold back that sullen urge, and asked Shen Zhiyi, "Does your Highness also want to stay in the palace?"
That graceful woman with a bit of heaviness, clearly similar to her own age, but seems to have blocked her full of depression, but she retracted her distant gaze, looked at her silently, and smiled as if she had looked away. Light wind.
Who would have thought
She said, who would think
Who wants to stay in the palace
"Let one let go, let one let go!"
On the street, a guy came in a hurry with a trolley full of goods. When he saw a man standing in the road ahead, he couldn't help but shouted loudly.
The things in Jiang Xuening's mind then dissipated with a bang.
There was no grass, no ash cloud, no field, and no Shen Zhiyi, only the clamor of people in the city filled with smoke and smoke, and the curious eyes of the people around.
She woke up and quickly backed away.
The guy who pushed the cart didn't notice what she looked like, and hurriedly pushed the cart away, only muttering, "Sleepwalking on the road early in the morning, what are you doing!"
Jiang Xuening watched the man walk away before remembering that he was going to rent a carriage.
However, when she started walking again, she felt a little heavier under her feet.
There was a moment of emptiness in my heart, my fingers gripping the small bag slowly tightened, and I couldn't walk for some reason. A carriage house not far ahead.
She was probably standing for a long time.
There was a sound in the shop next to it, followed by the sound of the door opening.
A medicine boy in Tsing Yi opened the door, holding a square sign with the word "Yongding" in his hand. He was about to hang it outside. When he looked up and saw a girl's house standing outside, he subconsciously asked: " Are you coming to see a doctor?"
Jiang Xuening pretended to be absent-minded, turned around and saw the drug boy holding the signboard in his hand, only to realize that he was standing in the way of people opening the door to do business, so he said "no", apologized, and moved forward. go.
However, after only a few steps, he felt something was wrong.
The signboard that the pharmacist was holding just now flashed across her mind like a flash of light, leaving only the word "Yongding" on it, which made her stop, turned around and walked back and asked, "This is Yongding Pharmacy? "
The little medicine boy hung up the sign. Seeing her leaving and returning, he was a little dazed and replied, "Yeah. Are you going to see a doctor again?"
Jiang Xuening looked at the pharmacy, there were many people around, but it didn't look like he was on guard.
She sank for a moment and asked again, "Has a teenage child been here just now?"
Xiao Yaotong only said that she was here to find someone, and said, "I haven't seen it before, but the girl lost her relatives?"
Jiang Xuening's brows jumped fiercely: "Never come?!"
That little treasure just now deliberately mentioned Yongding Pharmacy to him...
She thought that the other party would come to summon!
wrong.
This is really not right!
Jiang Xuening couldn't calm down when she thought of this. Without saying a word, she stepped into the door and said directly, "Where is your doctor? I have something important to see him!"
The medical skills of Dr. Zhang from the Yongding Pharmacy are praised by everyone in this Tongzhou city. He just woke up this night, but he looks like he is old and strong. He just took a pair of acupuncture and came out of the back hall and saw someone If you want to find him, just pretend that someone has an urgent illness that needs to be treated, and persuade her: "Old man, don't worry, girl, tell me who in your family is ill, what symptoms, and I need to be prepared..."
Where did Jiang Xuening listen to his nonsense
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he interrupted him and said, "Master Zhang's identity is in danger of being exposed, and he has gone to Tongzhou to split the rudder with Tianjiao. Where are the reinforcements from the imperial court?"
Doctor Zhang's eyes widened and he was confused: "What..."
Jiang Xuening suddenly froze: "You don't know?"
Dr. Zhang has never seen such an inexplicable person before. He only suspects that a hysterical person has come here. With a benevolent heart, he replied, "Did you find the wrong place?"
Jiang Xuening's blood was cold inch by inch.
She asked, "Excuse me, doctor, how many Yongding pharmacies are in Tongzhou?"
Doctor Zhang said, "It's the old man's family."
The faces of Zhang Zhe, Xiaobao, Feng Mingyu, Huang Qian and others flashed across Jiang Xuening's mind in an instant, and his body swayed suddenly, almost didn't stand still, he took a step back and barely stabilized, his face was already pale.
Yongding Pharmacy is fake.
It is also false that the court has support.
how is this possible…
Zhang Zhe, what about Zhang Zha
Doctor Zhang looked at her: "Girl, you don't look very good."
Jiang Xuening asked dreamily, "Doctor, how do I get to the yamen?"
Doctor Zhang didn't hear much, and said: "There are no patients in the pharmacy, why don't you sit down and take a breath..."
Jiang Xuening was so anxious at this moment, how could he listen to the old man's ramble, his expression changed, and he had already shown a bit of sternness, so he only asked him loudly: "I asked your government how to get there!"
