After walking leisurely for a month, in early July, they entered the border of Qiuchi Kingdom (note 1).

Qiuchi is a small country. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was stuck between the Celestial Dynasty and Wuhu. It was not worth mentioning at first, but I didn’t expect that whether it was the former Qin Dynasty, which was dominant for a while, or the royal and authentic Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were no less than twenty political powers.

It flourished and then perished, but it survived in the cracks of war and political power.

Maybe no other country paid much attention to this small area, and maybe the leader of the Qiuchi Kingdom knew how to advance and retreat. No matter what, in the hundreds of years of continuous war, the Qiuchi Kingdom has always been on the safe side.

It's not just prosperous, but it can be considered living and working in peace and contentment.

It is precisely because of this that merchants, fine craftsmen and scattered people from the north and south gather here, which can be said to be a mixed bag of good and bad.

In order to prevent the sneakers from getting in, the Southern Song Dynasty court had long banned trade between the north and the south. But as long as there was a profit, there would always be people willing to take risks. Qiu Chi became their best bunker.

Qiuchi is surrounded by Wudu Town in the north and is located in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty; and in the south is Yinping County. In the Song Dynasty, it spanned the north and south, making it a treasure land for trade!

The team escorting Yaoyu entered Qiuchi with Song's customs clearance document. The soldier told Yaoyu and Zimo that there was no news from Shu County about how they would be accommodated. Qiuchi was busy, so they might as well stay here for a few days.

Wait for the news.

The soldier led the two of them into the room of the post and said, "After all, we are on other people's territory, so you guys have to show off, so as not to be blamed. Forget about the cuffs, I will just lock the door of this room."

Just lock it and let others see it. During dinner later, I will send someone to bring the food to the room, and the two of you will make do with it in the room."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew and locked the door as he was told.

Zimo and Yaoyu looked at each other in the room and fell in love.

During dinner, someone brought wine and food, and we went out soon.

After another half an hour, the person who picked up the dishes tiptoed to the door of Yao Yu and Zimo's room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door very gently, and asked, "Have you two eaten?"

After asking twice and receiving no answer, he gritted his teeth and made a strong determination. He licked his fingers, poked a small hole in the paper window, and fearfully peeked inside.

He saw both Yaoyu and Zimo leaning on the table. Several dishes were knocked over, and one fell to the ground and broke into pieces. When he saw this, he hurriedly ran out of the inn!

When the soldier saw him coming out, he asked quickly, "How is it?"

The man was running too fast and was out of breath, "Sleep, sleep to death!"

The soldier waved his hand and shouted, "Do it!"

The soldiers responsible for the escort ran outside the post house. At this time, kerosene had been spread around the post house. The soldiers started fires from all directions at the same time, and the flames engulfed the entire post house in an instant!

A soldier looked at the raging fire and said with regret, "Oh - those two kids are not bad people."

Another echoed, "It would be a shame to die."

After hearing this, the soldier shouted angrily in a low voice, "Collect people's money and eliminate disasters! You protect them, who will protect your family! Tan Mansion is something you can afford!"

"Ha! I thought it was the little emperor who wanted to kill me out of his mind, but it turned out that it was the mother-in-law and son of the Chiang family who wanted to eradicate me!"

A sneer came from behind a group of people. When everyone heard this, they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground before they even turned around! The soldier reluctantly turned his face, and he saw that it was Tan Yaoyu who stuttered, "You, you

,you……"

Yao Yu looked down on his cowardice and said disdainfully, "How dare you touch this girl?" She said as she approached everyone step by step.

The soldier immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and loudly begged for mercy, "Miss Tan, have mercy on me! Miss Tan, have mercy on me! You guys have no choice but to do it! Then Jiang said, if we don't get rid of you, we will all be killed."

Your family will take care of your life! The little people are so cruel and frightened..."

"So, it was Jiang who taught you to do this?" Yao Yu asked, she always felt that Jiang didn't have this intention.

"Yes! Ah, not entirely!" Now that the matter had come to this, the leader did not dare to conceal it. He told the truth, "Chiang initially asked the young men to take action as soon as they arrived at Ba County, and then surrendered the girl and Mr. Zimo to

In the Yangtze River, I reported back that you escaped with your kung fu. Later, Tanlangjun came in and asked the boys to change their way to Qiuchi State. After burning you to death, he put the blame on Qiuchi State. He said that this time the Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity first.

The emperor passed away and made some changes. If we use this to force Qiu Chi to submit and secretly help our court, General Tan will definitely win a complete victory. So...so..."

He wouldn't dare to say it later, and there was no need to say it anymore.

Yaoyu thought about it, but she didn't expect that brat to use her death to force Qiuchi to side with the Song Dynasty. It was a pity that he was superfluous and changed his route, which made Yaoyu suspicious.

In the final analysis, Tanlangjun underestimated his half-sister, thinking that she had only learned the magic skill casually, but he did not know that she had been studying the art of war for several years. She was familiar with the local features and marching routes, and the troops were rigid.

As soon as the route was changed, she noticed something strange and was always on guard.

Yao Yu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. She should have killed them all, but she couldn't bear it for a moment.

They had been very kind to me these past few days, and the reason why they dared to use swords against me today was because they had no choice but to do so.

She turned to look at Zi Mo, and saw that Zi Mo's eyes were deep and unbearable, so she raised her hand and said, "Get up, after the fire is burned out, there won't even be ashes left. When you go back, tell me

He Zimo was burned to death as planned, so that the people in Tan Mansion will not make things difficult for you anymore."

"What about you, girl?" the soldier asked doubtfully.

"Me? Of course I'm dead." Yaoyu smiled mysteriously and added, "Remember, we were burned to death according to Tanlangjun's plan. Other than that, don't say more. Otherwise, your family members will be in danger."

It’s not just as simple as death.”

Everyone nodded, and when they saw that Yao Yu didn't say anything more, they hurriedly ran away.

Yao Yu looked at the panic-stricken officers and soldiers in the distance, and suddenly said quietly, "Even if I let you go, I'm afraid the Jiang family won't let you live. This is also the path you chose, so you can't blame me."

Seeing that everyone was gone, Yaoyu and Zimo looked at each other, and then laughed knowingly. The two of them had already planned in private that instead of being taken to Shu County and doing hard labor for a lifetime, they would rather "die"

”, and you will be free from now on.

Although Tan Langjun's plan was to eliminate the root cause, it actually helped them. From then on, there was no more enchantress Tan Yaoyu in the world, but only one with unique skills remained.

The two of them laughed and laughed, and suddenly Yingyu's stomach growled, and she slapped her forehead, "Oh no! I forgot to ask the soldiers to leave some silver!"

An hour later, Yao Yu and Zimo were sitting in the corner of the market, watching the beautiful afterglow of the sunset reflected on...well, the snow-white steamed buns...listening to their stomachs rumbling over and over again...

Yao Yu shook her head and decided not to look at the steamed buns anymore, so she deliberately changed the subject and said, "Zimo, do you remember what the master said to me on the day he left?"

"Yeah. He said, 'Remember, you are the sword of the king.'" Zimo's voice was also a little weak.

"I had forgotten about this matter. Recently, for some unknown reason, these words seemed to pop out of the cracks in the rocks and kept hitting my head. I had a feeling that the master should know about me.

He is guiding me, but I really don’t know what he means.”

Ever since Yao Yu left the underground palace, she had been feeling joyful and excited, but now she couldn't help but feel depressed.

"I think so too," Zimo said with the same sentiment, "but you don't have to worry too much. Since the master knows that you have left the underground palace, he will have his own arrangements. As long as we let nature take its course, we will definitely get the answer.

"

Yao Yu murmured non-stop, "Remember, you are the sword of the king... you are the sword of the king... you are... the steamed buns... the buns... I can't do it anymore!"

Yaoyu stood up suddenly, and Zimo also stood up. The two of them walked around the market one after another, and there were a few more steamed buns and steamed buns in the sleeves of Yaoyu's coat.

Think about the ten years of hard training in martial arts, and now you use them to do sneaky tricks...
