The New Year is approaching, the wanderer returns home, the prodigal husband returns home, and all pedestrians in the road are cut off.
When the **** crows, it is extraordinarily quiet.
However, under the elms and poplars beside the official road that have fallen leaves and only stubbles of dead branches are left, there is a dark group of people gathered, all of them with knives at their waists, dressed in strong clothes, and with serious faces.
Although there were many people, they didn't make any sound.
All eyes were more or less on the person in front.
The thick fog crossed the mountains and spread out, covering most of Tongzhou City on the plain in front of it, so even though the distance was only a few miles, the outline of the city was blurred.
Xie Wei was still dressed in white.
Tall and tall, he sits high on a maroon horse. Although he doesn't wear any swords, he has lost the three-pointed scholarly spirit in the court, and instead has a kind of sharpness that is rare to see, Yuan Tingyue Stand up, like a knife hiding its sheath.
The cold mist pounced on people's faces, but it had a chilling intent.
The knives, zithers, swords and books are all behind him.
At present, although none of the people drew their swords and swords, they all turned their faces towards the Tongzhou City and stared at something closely.
The east is already pale.
Almost at the moment when the first ray of light rises from the ground in the early morning and breaks through the fog, a ray of faint white light on the edge of the city rises into the sky from bottom to top, like a white line, fleeting.
Daoqinjianshu was shocked all of a sudden.
A good game has been planned for a long time, and it is the perfect moment to close the net.
It's just that there is no joy in his heart.
Xie Weizi also took this ray of white flames into his eyes, his deep pupils were dark at the end, but there was no expression on his face, it was a kind of ruthlessness that was as high as a **** and unattainable, he raised his hand and moved forward gently Waving, drooping eyes: "Let's go."
What does the capital and court mean to her?
The moment Jiang Xuening got off the carriage, she stared at the inn across the street and thought for a long time.
The mist floating gently in the city, along with the cold winter wind, pounced on her face, wet her plain dress, made her hang her head, and couldn't help but look at herself at this moment.
There is no full hairpin.
Lingluo without restraint.
There is no need to consider the etiquette of the secular world, but in Tongzhou City, which is only tens of miles away from the capital, no one knows her identity, has seen her appearance, and naturally no one knows that she is the unlucky second son of the Jiang family. Girl, she is the companion of Princess Leyang in the palace.
All baggage is lost in an instant.
If people have not experienced it, they will never understand what is most important to them if they only rely on those imaginations when they were young.
In the last life, Wanniang told her that women are born to deceive men, and they are born to seek glory and wealth. The most honorable and successful woman in the world should sit beside the emperor, hold the seal of the phoenix, and let other people in the world Women have to look at her to get by.
She's had enough of the snobbery of the country.
Later, when I returned to Jiang's Mansion in the capital, I learned of my true life experience, and I felt resentful and resentful. I thought that the high and high God owed her, so I went to the tip of the horn and climbed to the lord of the Six Palaces with untold hardships. position.
There is prosperity and wealth.
But if you have these, others will covet them, and life is not peaceful in the countryside. Entering and exiting the palace is even more like a dream. If you want to see a lantern festival, you must ask Shen Jie. This elegant and cowardly Ninth Five-Year Lord can't take her to the market to experience the real taste. Of course, a lantern festival was prepared for her in the palace. However, in the mouth of Minister Qingliu that time, she became extravagant, frivolous and superficial.
This is wrong, and that is wrong.
If she had followed her rural temper back then, she would have picked up a stick and beat these nonsense old pedants one by one, and would not let them go until their heads were broken.
But she happens to be the queen.
Regretted and wanted to throw away the phoenix seal and go away, the powerful ministers and jesters who depended on her refused to allow it, and even the concubine in the six palaces was eyeing her, who could not tell her that she would die in the wilderness after walking forward. What's more, before there was Shen Jie who refused to agree, and later there was Yan Lin who conspired against her and put her under house arrest.
A palace is actually surrounded by high walls, with ambushes on all sides.
Gradually, I couldn't even sleep well, and I couldn't sleep well at night.
"I can't do it, I really can't do it..."
Jiang Xuening stomped her feet, finally thinking clearly and resolutely.
"I have money in my hands, and Fangyin's thighs. When I leave the capital, the sea is wide and the sky is high, where the birds fly. Where can I not live a good life? Let them fight to the death! Guess what Master Zhang is there I, a weak woman, can't help, so why don't I take this opportunity and leave first, so as not to be angry if they catch me back to the capital!"
As soon as the thought fell to the ground, she took a last look at the inn, turned around directly, and didn't go into the inn. Instead, taking advantage of the early morning when Tongzhou City had just woken up in the light, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and her steps were brisk, heading straight for the city gate. direction.
The silver on her body was enough for her to go to Sichuan.
When she entered the city last night, she noticed that there was a carriage rental shop along the way. She had enough money to buy a maid, a coachman, and even a strong bodyguard. It would be safer to go all the way to Sichuan.
It is late in winter, and although there are fewer foreigners coming and going to and from the city, the businesses of the shops are still doing business. They all want to take advantage of this New Year's season to sell more New Year's goods, so as to add a few more bowls of meat to the family on the New Year's Day. .
So as we walked, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
The carriage house is just ahead.
A banner slanted out from the cold wind, and people were coming in and out of the gate.
Not far from the carriageway, 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? Then Saibei is called cold. I just came back from the capital, and I heard that when the Tatars sent envoys to pay tribute this year, several horses froze to death on the road..."
"Hey, what kind of tribute? They came here to ask for peace!"
"One thing, haha, one thing..."
…
Originally, Jiang Xuening just passed by the tea shed, and was going to the carriage house in front, when she heard the word "marriage", she stopped abruptly, and turned her head to look into the tea shed.
But when she saw it, she felt vaguely familiar.
It vaguely went back to the day when You Fangyin married far away in Shu, left the capital, passed the post station, there seemed to be similar merchants sitting in similar tea sheds, and even the words they said seemed similar.
There is a sky illuminated by the sun, and there are gray clouds all over the place. The row upon row of houses and the old and silent city walls immediately receded far away, collapsing into a plain full of decaying grass.
You Fangyin's carriage tied with red silk has gone away.
However, the Guards approached in the smoke and dust billowing from the horseshoes.
She remembered the sad impulse that she couldn't suppress, and asked Shen Zhiyi: "Does Your Highness not want to stay in the palace?"
The woman with a bit of grace in her body was clearly about the same age as her, but she seemed to have been filled with depression, but she withdrew her far-sighted gaze, looked at her quietly, and smiled as if she had opened her eyes. The wind is light.
Who would?
She said, who would think?
Who wants to be in the palace?
"Leave one, let one!"
On the street, there was a guy pushing a cart full of goods in a hurry. When he saw a person standing in the middle of the road in front of him, he couldn't help but shouted in a hurry.
The things in Jiang Xuening's mind dissipated with a bang.
There was no decaying grass, no gray clouds, no wilderness, and no Shen Zhiyi, only the noisy voices of people in this market filled with fireworks, and the strangely curious eyes of the people around.
She came to her senses and quickly backed away.
The man pushing the cart didn't pay attention to what she looked like, and hurriedly pushed the cart away, muttering, "I'm sleepwalking on the road early in the morning, what are you doing!"
Jiang Xuening watched the man walk away, and then remembered that she was going to rent a carriage.
However, when she took another step, she felt a little heavier under her feet.
There was a moment of emptiness in my heart, the fingers holding the small bundle slowly tightened, and I couldn't walk for some reason, and stopped in front of a shop that hadn't opened yet, staring blankly. The carriage row not far ahead.
Probably because she stood for a long time.
There was a sound in the shop next to it, followed by the sound of the door being opened.
A drug boy in Tsing Yi opened the door, holding a square sign with the word "Yongding" in his hand, and was about to hang it outside. When he looked up and saw a girl's house outside, he asked subconsciously: " Are you coming to see a doctor?"
Jiang Xuening pretended to be absent-minded, and turned her head to see the signboard in the drug boy's hand, only to realize that she was standing in the way of people opening the door for business, so she said "no", apologized, and went forward go.
However, after only a few steps, I felt something was wrong.
The signboard that the drug boy was holding just now flashed across her mind like a flash, leaving only the word "Yongding" on it, which made her stop suddenly, turned around and came back and asked, "This is Yongding Pharmacy? "
The little drug boy hung up the signboard, saw her go back and forth, a little dazed, and replied: "Yes. Are you going to see a doctor again?"
Jiang Xuening took a look at the pharmacy, and saw that there were many people coming and going around, but they didn't appear to be heavily guarded.
Her heart sank, and she asked again: "Did a teenage child come here just now?"
The little Yaotong only said that she was looking for someone, and said: "I haven't seen it before, but the girl lost her relatives?"
Jiang Xuening frowned fiercely: "Haven't you been here?!"
That Xiaobao deliberately mentioned Yongding Pharmacy with him just now...
She thought the other party would come to send a message!
wrong.
This thing is really wrong!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuening really couldn't calm down, stepped into the door without saying a word, and said directly: "Where is your doctor? I have something important to see him!"
Dr. Zhang from Yongding Pharmacy is well-known in Tongzhou City for his medical skills. He woke up from a sleepless night and just got up. He looked healthy and energetic. He just took a pair of acupuncture and came out of the back hall. If you want to find him, just think someone has an urgent illness that needs to be treated, and persuade her: "The old man is, girl, don't worry, tell me who is sick in your family, what symptoms, the old man can 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 sub-helm with Tianjiao. Where are the reinforcements from the imperial court?"
Doctor Zhang's eyes widened, and he was confused: "What..."
Jiang Xuening was stunned suddenly: "You don't know?"
Doctor Zhang has never seen such an inexplicable person before, he only suspected that someone with hysteria came, and with a benevolent heart of hanging the pot to help the world, he replied: "Did you find the wrong place?"
Jiang Xuening's blood cooled down inch by inch.
She asked: "Excuse me, doctor, how many Yongding medicine shops are there in Tongzhou City?"
Doctor Zhang said: "This is the old man's family."
The faces of Zhang Zhe, Xiaobao, Feng Mingyu, Huang Qian and others flashed through Jiang Xuening's mind instantly, his figure swayed suddenly, he almost couldn't stand still, he took a step back and managed to stabilize himself, his face was already pale.
Yongding Pharmacy is fake.
It is also false that the imperial court has support.
How can it be…
Zhang Zhe, what about Zhang Zhe?
Doctor Zhang looked at her: "Girl, you don't look very well."
Jiang Xuening asked dreamily, "Doctor, how do I get to the yamen?"
Doctor Zhang didn't hear clearly, and said: "There are no patients in the pharmacy, why don't you sit down and take a breath first..."
Jiang Xuening was so anxious at the moment, how could he listen to the old man's ramblings, his complexion changed, and he showed a bit of sternness, so he asked him loudly: "I asked you how to get to the government office!"
