Time is running out, in order to update before 12 o'clock, although it's not over 3,000 words, there are more than 500 free ones, the sleeve paper will be beaten again tonight, striving to have an update early tomorrow morning.
It has come to this, and further excuses would be hypocritical. Song Chu nodded his head in gratitude. "In that case...Huan Jin will not be polite." "Master is going on a mission to the State of Qin, which route do you plan to take?" asked Zhen Gu Xing.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he replied without hesitation, "Go directly through the two countries of Wei and Han."
"What?" exclaimed Kaito Minami in surprise. "If even a hint of this gets out, not only will our plan be ruined, but you'll also be in danger!"
"Does the general think there will be danger if we detour through Qi and Zhao?" Song asked.
Jin was divided into three, originally having Wei, Zhao and Han. These three powers often formed an alliance to attack other countries, but also frequently broke up due to minor disagreements. This cycle of division and unity is a common occurrence. Now that the internal conflict in Zhao is at a stalemate, it's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If the King of Wei were to catch wind of this, he could use the pretext of sending troops to help stabilize the country to gain power for himself.
Since neither way is safe, why bother taking a detour and walking an unnecessary road!
Tsuburaya Kei thought carefully and felt that it was indeed better to go to Wei Guo. "Don't worry, sir, this matter will not be leaked out." Song Chu nodded her head and didn't say any polite words, Tsuburaya Kei's efforts were for the country, not for her.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Song Chuyi left the teahouse and returned to the courtyard.
The Gong Sun sisters were scolded by Song Chuyi and had stopped crying.
Ziya and Zichao stood on the corridor waiting for Song Chuyi's return.
She originally thought she had no face to see Song Chuyi again, and was also afraid of being treated coldly, so she didn't dare to see Song Chuyi again. However, Zi Chao insisted on waiting for Song Chuyi in the corridor, so Yu Ya could only stand here with a stiff upper lip.
Although she had already seen through it in her heart, just like a child who grew up as a lowly commoner since childhood, it is impossible to have the demeanor of a noble by simply wearing fine clothes. For a moment, she still couldn't really consider herself a slave. Dignity may be heavy or light, but for someone with dignity, it's hard to put down.
"Master." The two of them bowed their knees.
Song Shi said, "Get up, you guys pack up, and follow me in two days." "So soon..." Zi Ya couldn't help but lift her head.
Song Chu looked at her lightly and said, "You can choose not to leave. I've already said it twice in one day, I don't want to repeat it for the third time."
Pausing for a moment, Song Chuyi continued, "With your looks, especially yours, Zi Chao, without sufficient power to protect you, no matter where you go, it's the same fate. I just want to cooperate with you, and I'll find you a husband who is definitely a great man in this world, but whether or not he can capture his heart depends on your own abilities."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a good and leisurely look at them, slowly said "I have already said everything, now decide whether to go or stay. If you leave, I won't say another word, let people go; if you stay, then put your mind at ease, everything will be arranged by me, and if you have the ability to make use of me, you are also welcome to make use of me. However, if you can't make use of me, the consequences will be tragic, only you can't think of it, there's nothing I, Song Huaijin, can't do."
Ziya and Zichao had already discussed it, so they said in unison, "We are willing to stay." "Then go pack your things." Song Chu also took Ji Yu's words to heart. After observing them for some time, these two were unlikely to be Wei State scouts.
Because it was a secret mission to the Qin State, Song initially did not bid farewell to anyone and set off in the second half of the night against the biting cold wind.
At the beginning of Song, the first thing to do was to hand over the crowd and unify the words. This time, they disguised themselves as a Qi State business delegation, doing slave trading, and their destination this time was in Korea. Due to the severe cold weather, they were afraid that the river would freeze and it was not convenient to take the waterway.
The further northwest, the colder the weather will be. Even the Yellow River will freeze over with a thick layer of ice. If it's not the right season and you take the water route to enter Qin, without stopping along the way, everything will go smoothly and you'll arrive in half a month.
But traveling by land also has an advantage, which is that it won't attract attention.
Traveling a long distance, it's naturally impossible to moor a small boat. Currently, there are more boats from Yue, Qi and Chu, but going westward to Longxi, the number of large boats will decrease. Taking the water route would make it easy to attract attention. Therefore, even if the Yellow River hadn't frozen over, Song Chuyi wouldn't have easily chosen the water route; this situation is even better now.
Because of Song Chu's request, the leader who escorted them into Qin this time was Ji Yu.
In the merchant group, everything was under his leadership. Li Huan and Dong Ruo also came together.
The wilderness is vast and hazy, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
The biting wind was not cold, but it blew through the vast wilderness, causing the half-person-high wild grass to turn out layer upon layer of dark waves. The withered branches and leaves also had a unique open and majestic scenery, but Song Chuyi was so tired that she didn't have time to look. After instructing things, she returned to the car compartment, hugged her quilt, and fell asleep.
Asleep in a daze of day and night, unaware of the passing of time, Song Chuyi vaguely heard an old man singing loudly outside when he regained some consciousness.
The sound is dry and rough, blown by the strong wind, sometimes clear, sometimes fragmented.
"A clever husband makes a clever wife, and a clever wife makes a clever husband. The clever wife is a falcon or a kite. A woman has a long tongue, which is the beginning of strife. Disorder and rebellion come from heaven, but are born of women. Women teach and instruct, and at times they take the place of teachers."
The sound came over in fragments, but it was a grand poem. It's okay if someone sings a grand poem in the wilderness, but the key is that the content of this poem gives Song Chuyi a strange feeling deep down.
A wise man can start a business, but a talented woman can disrupt national politics. That clever woman is like an owl making strange noises. She has a long tongue and is good at arguing, producing evil and burying the roots of disaster. Great chaos is not from heaven, but born from the schemes of this woman. The king's advice cannot be heard, and the woman's inner attendants must be believed.
This poem is a grand and elegant one, singing about King You of Zhou being muddle-headed and listening to the words of his concubine, Bao Si, she was also a woman!
As the singing voice gradually approached, Song Chuyi quickly tidied up her hair and pushed open the car window to look outside.
The endless snowfield meets the sky, blue and white contrasting with each other, pure and unblemished without a speck of dust, the air is fresh and cold, from the first cough, squinting eyes look into the wind.
An old man with a greyish-brown hemp robe sat on the back of an ox, moving slowly. His whiskers and hair were white, his face was clear and thin, he held up his sleeves, and in his arms he slanted a mulberry wood staff.
As they approached, Song Chuoyi raised his voice and asked, "Old Ji, why are you singing?"
The old man looked at Song Chuyi and smiled as the merchant group slowly passed by, saying "What a good-looking baby!"
"Could it be a geomancer?" Song Chu muttered to himself.
Many people have said that Song Chuyi has a naturally good face, with a full forehead and straight nose. At first glance, she seems to lack the soft beauty of a woman, but what they mean by "naturally good" is that she easily gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is a sign of good fortune.
In her previous life, Song Chu initially suffered no less than those slaves and had not scolded those who flattered her appearance. However, since her rebirth, she felt that the reason why she suffered so much was to accumulate good fortune to cross the calamity. Therefore, she is now quite interested in the Yin Yang family.
It was a chance encounter, but Song Chu had something important to attend to, so he decided to be cautious and not bother chasing after the old man to strike up a conversation.
At half past eight, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and snowflakes began to flutter in the sky again. The horses were slightly restless, their mouths and noses puffing out mist, and the carriage could hardly move forward in the wind and snow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Song Chu's car window was knocked, and Ji Bian's difficult voice came from outside "Sir, does General Jing ask if he can find a place to camp? If so, the horses may die of exhaustion."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one shout opened the car window and looked outside. "You remember, there is no such thing as a teacher's master! Let him make decisions on things like this."
Ji Yu has led the army to battle several times, and seeing his survival skills in the suburbs of Song Guo is not bad. He can make correct judgments on such small matters. Being able to save one's own strength as much as possible is one of Song Chu's guiding principles.
Ji Yu saw the hills in front and sent someone to ask, got a reply from Song Chu Yi, he decisively ordered to go to the foot of the hill. The mountains here are not high, but the wind speed at the foot of the mountain will be slower.
Snowy day, the curtain of color fell extremely early and fast. Just as they were about to approach the foot of the mountain, Ji Yu discovered that there was a faint flame jumping in that place, so he raised his hand and shouted "Stop."
"Ji Bian, take a few people to go and take a look. If there's any danger, send a message immediately." Ji Yu took out a three-inch-long short flute from his pocket and threw it to him.
"Hey!" Ji Bian took the flute and pointed at a few people, riding his horse closer in that direction.
Before long, several people returned. "It was five hunting men who encountered a snow wolf and were severely injured, two of them on the verge of death."
