Three women and their mother looked up with their heads raised, hesitating and not daring to reach out to receive.

  "I've lost my appetite, you can deal with it as you like!" Song Chuyi said, putting the bowl on the ground and turning to enter the house.

  Ji Yan looked at the door of the house with an inexplicable gaze, and continued eating.

  Rest for one night

  The next morning, after Song Chuyi finished a bowl of noodle soup, she let Ji Bian go out to gather information, while she continued to sit in the yard watching the twin sisters sow seeds.

  Perhaps thinking that Song ChuYi was easier to approach and with Ji Yan not being there, one of the girls plucked up her courage and asked, "Sir, what are you looking at?"

  Song Chu Yan faintly spat out a single word, "Tu"

  Even though Song initially appeared to be carefree and always had a smile on her face, in reality she wasn't as approachable as she seemed. The girl could sense her coldness and didn't dare to talk to her again.

  Having only met a few times, Song Chuyi could already tell apart the identical-looking sisters. One of them had a lively expression; while the other looked like stagnant water, occasionally revealing shy and fearful expressions, but seemed to lack vitality.

  Just past noon, Song Chu felt a bit sleepy and got up to take a nap. As he turned around, he saw three people walking over outside - one was Ji Bian, and the other two were... Nan Qi and Ji Mian!

  Song Chu frowned slightly

  Xiangmian saw Song Chuyi, hastily walking in, a few steps and rushed to her front, heavily punched her chest, "You bastard! Leaving without saying a word, coming without saying a word, I thought we knew each other for a short time, but at least we got along, didn't expect you never considered me as a friend!"

  "Cough!" Song Chu covered his chest with one hand and raised his foot as if he was about to kick him in the groin.

  The princess hastily jumped away

  Song Chuanyi finally caught his breath and said, "I told you not to punch me in the chest!"

  Xie Mian saw the danger seemed to have passed, smiled and went up to put his arm around her shoulder, saying "Half a year without seeing you, you seem to have changed a lot, but it seems that becoming famous is not as easy as expected"

  "Hmph, it's not just a failure, it's a complete and utter defeat!" Nan Qi said coldly.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a lazy glance at him "It seems that in these days when I was not there, Brother Nan was almost forgotten about his defeat"

  "Your mouth is still so poisonous, Hua Jin." Ji Mian smiled and said.

  Song Chu patted his hand and said, "Sit down on the floor, no tea is served for guests."

  A few people entered the house and sat down on the spot. Ji Bian had never dared to look directly at Song Chuyi. The two times he went out with Song Chuyi, they were not caught by acquaintances. This time, going out alone, he was also very careful, but before half an hour passed, he bumped into Nan Qi and Ji Mian.

  "Huai Jin, Ji Shi's fate is likely to be doomed this time." Ji Mian sighed and said that Ji Yu often came and went from the official residence of the Lord of the Valley, and although Ji Mian only knew him by sight, he admired this loyal and brave man from the bottom of his heart.

  "In the beginning of the Song Dynasty, 'Were they forced into severe punishment?'"

  "Those days, the Wei State envoys have been pressing hard, and His Majesty had no choice but to interrogate Ji Shi. But he insisted that he didn't know anything... In the urgency of the situation, the interrogators didn't hold back either. Moreover, this morning, General Jia told me that the envoy suddenly demanded that Ji Shi be beheaded at noon tomorrow."

  "They probably know my general whereabouts and want to force me out" Song said.

  The spies of the Wei State are several times stronger than those of Bo Ye, and they are all over the various countries. Once they gather information from all places, they can guess which area Song Chu is likely to be in.

  And even if Song Chu didn't show up, killing her would be just a matter of time since they already knew her approximate location.

  "Where is the execution?" Song asked

  "On the earth platform of Dong Street, Tǔ tái jūn came to see off Jiǎo shī zhuì" Jiè miàn paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to show up and save people?"

  Song Dynasty's first emperor

  "How well do you know Wei Hou?" Nan Qi stared into her eyes, "He is not a weak and benevolent ruler."

  "What's that got to do with anything?" Song Chuoyi smiled faintly and said, "I've broken my word to many people, but I won't break it to Ji Yu because he values loyalty, and has always trusted me."

  If it weren't for trust, she wouldn't have been able to knock him down so easily in Zhao State; if it weren't for loyalty, he wouldn't have suffered severe punishment and still kept his mouth shut.

  Such a person, Song Chu won't risk his life for him

  "Alright, since you say so, I'll assume you have a clever plan. Let's sneak back today without telling General Hei Koku." said Ji Meng earnestly.

  Song Chu nodded slightly and bowed his hands together, "Thank you both"

  If they really wanted to harm her, wouldn't it be more secure to directly follow Jiyan and then bring people to kill her? Moreover, after a period of getting along, Songchu understood the temperaments of these two people. Nanqi was from the Huanglao Daoist school, but since Daoism wasn't highly valued, he could only take refuge in a small country. As for Jiemian, he was a Legalist, and the reforms in various countries had just ended, so he didn't want to be an executor of the law either, and was just passing his days in the Wei State. These people were all those who valued their aspirations but not material gain.

  A few people said they would settle the matter and then immediately left.

  Because Yinji's sleeping quarters were a bit far from the official residence of the Magistrate of Bao, Song ChuYi and Ji Yan stayed overnight in his residence.

  On the carriage, Ji Mian said, "There is someone secretly monitoring our courtyard, but probably thinks you won't dare to come forward, so they are quite lax."

  Wei Hou focused most of his attention on Ji Yu because he thought that since Ji Yu didn't say a word, he must know the truth.

  The carriage drove into the courtyard as smoothly as it did in peacetime.

  A few people got off the car and went into the house. Nan Qi stayed for a while before taking the horse-drawn carriage back to his own yard.

  Because of the danger that Song had to face alone tomorrow, and possibly being watched by others around him, Ji Mei didn't pull him into conversation about their parting words. After washing up separately, they each went to rest.

  It wasn't the first or second time that Song Chuyi had been on the verge of life and death, so she didn't feel tense. She thought carefully for a few moments before closing her eyes to sleep.

  Sweet dreams in the dark night

  Song Chu slept soundly until dawn, and it wasn't until the aroma of food wafted in from outside that her stomach growled, waking her up.

  Thinking of last night's dinner that hadn't been used up, Song Chuoyi turned over and got out of bed, wearing her robe and with a head full of disheveled hair, she went out.

  She was staring at her in a daze, still holding the rice porridge, until she came back with salt to clean her teeth, then she finally snapped out of it. "What did you do last night?"

  "Sir, one person can sleep very soundly."

  Song Chu filled a bowl of porridge for himself with his eyes half-closed, took a bite of pickled vegetables and chewed slowly, not intending to pay attention to them.

  "I've prepared clothes for you, they might be a bit big, but I guarantee that once you wear them, you'll dominate the whole scene" Ji Meng excitedly rubbed her hands together.

  Song Chu drank a mouthful of porridge and said after a while, "Not wearing is the most suppressive in the whole scene" (Please vote for monthly ticket recommendation)
