In the territory of Soochow, on an ancient tea-horse road, two people walked slowly one after the other.

The disgraced Xiao Yanning was in front, and the blood-stained Ratu was behind. The two of them staggered, Xiao Yanning looked back at her, "Can you still walk?"

Rao Tu nodded and continued to push forward.

Xiao Yanning reached out to support her, "Forget it, take a break."

Rao Tu shook his head: "Those people will catch up."

Xiao Yanning was helpless, looking at the stubbornness in her eyes, and remembered the first time she saw her many years ago on the banks of the Qingzhou River. At that time, the eyes of women who were less than double ten were also full of stubbornness.

Many years have passed, and it is probably this stubbornness that has supported her until now, right?

He took her arm, tried on her pulse, and said, "Take a break, I can't walk anymore."

He ignored her and sat directly under a tree, pulling a stem of sweetheart grass from the ground and holding it in his mouth. Rao Tu was sitting on a rock, she really lost her strength.

The sound of the carriage sounded, Xiao Yanning suddenly opened his eyes, looked in front of the road, he smiled slightly, picked up a piece of wood from the ground and held it in the middle of the road.

The carriage driver stopped the car, looked at Xiao Yanning who was blocking the road, frowned and said in disgust, "Where's the beggar, get out of the way!"

Xiao Yanning smiled, raised his chin, and said in a resolute tone, "Go down."

The coachman said "Huh?" and then became furious: "Are you courting death?" He raised his whip and was about to whip him.

Rao Tu narrowed her eyes and saw Xiao Yanning stretched out his hand to hold the whip and pulled it backwards. The groom immediately flew up and fell heavily into the grass next to him.

Xiao Yanning stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, and said calmly to the people inside: "This girl, please come out."

A blue-shirted woman trembled out of the car. Looking at her makeup, although she was not a rich or noble family, she was also very wealthy, a small family jasper.

"You...what do you want to do?" The woman was about to cry without tears.

"Don't worry, I won't rob you." Xiao Yanning stretched out his hand to greet Ratu, "Come here."

Rao Tu got up and walked to the carriage, and Xiao Yanning helped her up. Immediately, he jumped into the car and said to the blue-shirted woman, "Thank you." He said and drove with the whip.

The blue-shirted woman knelt on the ground and cried, "My uncle is pitiful, there are many bandits here, and the slave family is alone here, and there is no place to be buried."

Rao Tu grabbed Xiao Yanning, "Let her get in the car too."

Xiao Yanning glanced at her and looked at the woman in blue shirt: "Do you want to get in the car?"

The woman begged in a trembling voice: "Please do well, sir, and take me out. I will give this carriage to my uncle... I just want to save one life."

Xiao Yanning smiled, "Okay, sir, I have always been sympathetic to fragrance and jade."

He said to Raotu, "You go out and drive."

Rao Tu was slightly startled, and he said impatiently: "Come on, are you still waiting for me to be your groom?"

Rao Tu gave him a stern look and sat at the door. Xiao Yanning pulled the blue-shirted woman into the car and said with a smile, "Miss, please sit inside, I'll tell you something about myself."

The blue-shirted woman hesitated and said, "Let this girl drive outside, the slave family will feel uneasy."

"What do you care about her? She stinks and dirty the car when she comes in."

Rao Tu heard Xiao Yanning's words outside, and looked down at her body, the dirt and horse blood were sticking together, how embarrassing it was.

After a while, Xiao Yanning asked, "The girl's name?"

"Nujia Qiao Yu."

"Well, what a pretty name."

Rao Tu listened to her ears and was slightly startled. The woman in the blue shirt seemed to smile, "The uncle is laughing, the slave family looks at the uncle, it is a good appearance!"

Xiao Yanning "Oh?" After a moment, he laughed loudly without refuting. A woman's soft humming sound suddenly came from the carriage, with an ambiguous meaning, Rao Tu's hands trembled, she stopped the whiplash, and involuntarily raised her ears to listen to the movement in the car.

Xiao Yanning said: "Daughter driving, be honest. Why do you want to come in and play with me?"

Rao Tu hated the itching of her teeth, and slapped the horse's back, causing the horse to stumble and run forward.

The movement in the car became louder and louder, and the woman's suppressed moans turned into whimpering and sobbing, and then turned into uncontrollable hissing...

Rao Tu couldn't bear it any longer, threw the whip and said angrily, "Xiao Yanning, are you running or playing with a woman?"

"Master...don't...don't come out..." Qiao Yu's voice trembled inside.

Rao Tu was completely on fire, she didn't expect this woman to be so dissolute and self-deprecating. Thanks to her, she was worried that the girl was tainted by the bandit.

Xiao Yanning smiled inside and said in a low voice, "Do you still want it?"

"Please... please sir..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly screamed, and there was no movement.

Rao Tu just thought that Xiao Yanning's movements were too violent, causing her to faint, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiao Yanning said lightly inside: "I remember there is a medicine called scorpion poison. After a woman eats it, the man who has sex with her will die."

Rao Tu's heart sank, and she opened the curtain with her backhand, only to see the woman who claimed to be Qiao Yu lying there, disheveled, with Xiao Yanning holding her throat.

A sinister light flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes, and Xiao Yanning smiled like no one else, "This king tells you that I was fed with poison since I was a child, and even if you want to use these indiscriminate methods on me in the future, please be yourself first. Look in the mirror."

Before he could finish his sentence, he ran out of hands, pinched Qiao Yu's neck, and threw her out of the car.

Rao Tu said in shock, "Is this woman from the Qintian Prison?"

Xiao Yanning sneered: "If you want to show kindness next time, use your brain first. Isn't it strange that a young servant leads a girl on the road in such a wild forest?"

Rao Tu looked at the ground outside, Qiao Yu stared, already dead.

Xiao Yanning straightened her clothes, "It's really bad luck! What are you still doing, hurry up and come in!" He pulled Rao Tu into the car with one hand.

Rao Tu knew that she was wrong, but she didn't want to sit in, "Since she knew there was something wrong with her, why didn't she just kill her?"

Xiao Yanning smiled, "Because I want to take advantage."

Rao Tu blushed and scolded: "Disgusting!" She glanced at Xiao Yanning's body intentionally or unintentionally while speaking, only to feel that there was some uneasy feeling there, and she couldn't help blushing.

Xiao Yanning kicked her, "Where are you looking? You sit in there honestly for me!" He pressed her down and got out by himself.

Rao Tu suddenly felt that his strength was very light, and he was a little out of breath, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? What kind of scorpion poison did you really get?"

Xiao Yanning said weakly: "What is the scorpion's poison? This is a pure palace mythical creature with a sofa. If you can kill that bitch with one hand, who would be willing to play with her!"

Rao Tu reached out to support him, "I'll still drive."

Xiao Yanning waved his hand and sat outside and whipped the horse's back.

Raotu suddenly found that the back of his heart was soaked, and it turned out to be dark red blood. "Have the poison on your body attacked?"

Xiao Yanning gave her a dagger backhand, "Do you dare?"

Rao Tu gritted his teeth, took the dagger, and cut open his shirt, revealing a piece of skin full of ugly scars.

Xiao Yanning laughed and scolded: "What a prodigal woman, you can't take off well, just cut Lao Tzu's clothes open, and you sew for me?"

Rao Tu took a dagger and scratched at his old wound, cut open the flesh, Xiao Yanning said, "Go deeper."

Rao Tu had no choice but to make another cut. He didn't say a word, but the muscles on his back were trembling slightly.

"Does it hurt?" Rao Tu asked.

Xiao Yanning shook his head, "Maybe."

It was said lightly, but Rao Tu was shocked. How much torture did this person suffer, and he couldn't even feel the pain?

"The poison you got is mythical creature containing sand? What kind of poison is this?"

Xiao Yanning looked at the front of the road and said slowly: "It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is a kind of insect called mythical creature, which often hides in the water. When someone passes by the shore, the mythical creature will use its mouth to take sand and shoot at the shadow of the person in the water. . Anyone whose shadow is shot by the mythical creature will get sick and even die."

Rao Tu wondered: "Insinuating... the poison you got is the sand in the mythical creature's mouth?"

"It's almost the same. It's the saliva secreted from the mouth of a Gu worm. That Gu worm grew up eating the carrion of the dead."

"Who poisoned it?"

Xiao Yanning said lightly: "He just died."

"Old emperor? Why... why? Tiger poison still doesn't eat offspring, why does he have to put you to death?"

Xiao Yanning stopped talking, and although Rao Tu couldn't see his face, she could feel the deep sadness that permeated him.

He tilted his head slightly and gave her a side face. At this time, the brilliance of the setting sun fell on that side face, eliminating a bit of femininity. Rao Tu had to admit that he was a boy and a girl, but he was not feminine. On the contrary, there is just cold Junyi in the femininity.

The corner of his mouth raised an arc, and he smiled and said, "What are you stunned for, let's see if it's okay, stop the bleeding for me." Then he threw a medicine bottle to her.

Rao Tu looked at the blood on his back, which turned from dark red to bright red. She said softly, "It should be fine."

The powder is sprinkled on the wound and the wound is sutured with a fine needle and silver thread. After doing this, the carriage has traveled to a small town.

Xiao Yanning abandoned the carriage, asked Rao Tu to take off her robe stained with horse blood, helped her out of the carriage, and the two walked into an inn. The inn's young man frowned when he saw the two unkempt faces and ragged clothes.

Xiao Yanning stepped forward and patted the desk, "I want a room."

Xiao Er raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no more money in the room." He doesn't care whether the two have money or not, but seeing the sloppy clothes of these two people, he is too lazy to give it to the room, there is no need to earn some money and stain the good quilt.

Xiao Yanning smiled slightly and took out a gold ingot from his arms, "Is there any?"

Little Er's eyes lit up, he picked up the gold and licked it on his teeth, then smiled happily, nodded and said, "Little remember there are still a few rooms, so I will show you the way."

Xiao Yanning held his hand, "Go and prepare two sets of clean clothes, prepare hot water for bathing. For the rest, I will reward you."

Xiao Er nodded as if pounding garlic, "Okay, thank you uncle." As he said that, he bent down and took Xiao Yanning and Rao upstairs.

It happened that a rich lady in silk and satin came down from the stairs. She was a little displeased when she saw two beggars-like people. She pinched her nose and frowned and turned sideways to avoid it, for fear of getting on her body. Xiao Yanning stumbled and leaned on the lady.

The young lady screamed, stretched out her foot and kicked Xiao Yanning's knee hard, raised her eyebrows, and scolded, "Damn beggar, are you blind or lame?"

Xiao Yanning grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, bowed to the young lady and nodded in apology. The young lady was still puzzled, she stretched out her foot and kicked Xiao Yanning's leg hard, pinched her nose and walked away.

Rao Tu saw that the woman was so arrogant, her heart was sullen, and her eyes showed some unkindness, and the young lady said angrily: "Crazy woman, what are you looking at! Be careful this girl digs your eyes!"

Xiao Yanning hurriedly pulled Rao Tu to his side, and said in a lame Longxi tone: "This woman in my family likes to stare at people, Miss Tangtu, I'll go back and spank her."

The young lady left angrily, Xiao Yanning and Rao Tu entered the room, Xiao Yanning looked at Rao Tu in silence, grinned, stretched out her hand and pulled Ratu's lips, "Smile for Lord."

Rao Tu severely knocked his hand off, and said coldly, "Please respect the Fifth Prince!"

"Yo! Iceberg Beauty."

Rao Tu raised her eyes and looked at him, "Five lords, I'm not a woman for you to have fun with. My husband's life and death are unknown, and I really don't have the heart to joke with you."

Thinking of Shen Zhu, her heart was full of sourness, and her eyes were a little red.

Xiao Yanning looked into her eyes, and after a long while he smiled indifferently, "You have to wash well, if Shen Zhu sees you like this, he will probably dislike it."

Rao Tu said in a low voice, "He won't."

Xiao Yanning said angrily: "Yes! It's me who dislikes it, okay?" He pushed the window and urged the shop assistant to get hot water.

After a short while, the hot water was ready, and the second brought two sets of clean clothes. Rao Tu really wanted to wash her body, but because Xiao Yanning was by her side, she was hesitant.

Xiao Yanning sank his face and said, "Hurry up and wash! I want this king to wait for you to bathe and change your clothes."

"Five lords, I am Shen Zhu's woman, please remember."

"The king remembers."

Raotu turned around and went to the inner hall, took off his dirty clothes, and carefully washed his body in hot water.

Xiao Yanning sat in the outer hall and listened to the sound of water she made, because of the phrase "I am a woman from Shen Zhu", there was some sadness in his heart that he did not want to admit.

He said slowly, "It doesn't matter who you are, but your life is mine."

After Rao Tu finished washing, she changed into clean clothes and walked out of the inner hall. Xiao Yanning saw that she was wearing a coarse gray coat, a bit like men's clothing, but she was slender, with thin shoulders, and she wore a coarse gray coat with a bit of elegance.

Her wet hair was dripping with water. She wiped her hair and said to Xiao Yanning, "Your Highness once saved me. If you want this life, you can take it. But it is impossible for Your Highness to force me to do anything."

Xiao Yanning jokingly said, "Are you sure that I won't kill you, that's why you dare to say that."

Rao Tu stared at him, "Yeah", "Yeah."

Xiao Yanning pouted, and instructed Xiao Er to change a bucket of hot water, washed it by himself, and changed his clothes. Clear and clean, and different from before.

He ordered Rao Tu to pull up the blue silk on his head, "If you change into men's clothes, we'll be better off running."

Rao Tu agreed with this proposal, followed her words, and Xiao Yanning smiled and said, "I saw your appearance in the Lulan Building in Jinling City before. But... it's a little lacking."

"Where is the shortage?"

Xiao Yanning said, "Come with me."

Rao Tu followed him out of the inn and bumped into the lady at the door. Xiao Yanning smiled and nodded to the young lady. The young lady was stunned for a moment, then startled, and then blushed, not knowing what to do.

No matter what, she never thought that the dirty ruffian scoundrel just now turned out to be such a good skin! Charming looks like a monster, a man with such looks, but he compares with many women, not to mention this person is slender and graceful, how can he be so handsome in the world?

Rao Tu squinted at Xiao Yanning and said in a low voice, "Do you have to wink to provoke romantic debts?"

Xiao Yanning raised his eyebrows, "Got it." He coughed and said to the dazed young lady, "Miss, please let me go."

"Ah?" The young lady made a sound, and immediately reacted, she was ashamed and hid her face.

Xiao Yanning didn't even look at the young lady, and smiled at Ratu: "Let's go."

When the two came to the market, Xiao Yanning stopped in front of a rouge powder shop, took out a delicate purse from his arms, poured out a round pearl, and exchanged a box of indigo with the shop owner.

Rao Tu was a little helpless, and naturally guessed where the purse in his hand came from, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "So you are not only good-looking, but also clever."

Xiao Yanning ignored her sarcasm, provoked a little Qingdai, swept her eyebrows, filled her eyebrows into her temples, and added a heroic style.

After painting for a while, he said seriously: "Very good! Just like this, you can also go and harm the little girl."

Rao Tu took a picture with the bronze mirror on the shop, feeling a little calm and satisfied, nodded and said, "It's okay, but I don't have the habit of harming little girls."

Xiao Yanning laughed it off, bought two pieces of beef in front of a sauce beef restaurant, held it with oiled paper, and handed a small piece to Ratu, "You should eat less, it's not good to look fat."

Rao Tu was accustomed to this person's cheap mouth, so she picked up the piece of beef that she couldn't finish, and took a silent bite. The beef is strong, the tendons are soft and glutinous, and the marinade is just right.

Xiao Yanning watched her eat sauce beef while eating his share, with a smile in his eyes.

Rao Tu ate half of it, wrapped the rest, and planned to put it in her sleeve and eat it tomorrow, but Xiao Yanning snatched it away, "I can help you if you can't finish it." A big mouthful.

Rao Tu was speechless, after all, cannibals are soft and short-handed. Looking at this guy who eats meat but is not ugly, she clenched her fists, wishing to beat him up.

Xiao Yanning finished eating a piece and a half of beef, clapped his hands, walked towards the inn contentedly, and threw the embroidered bag along the road into a beggar's bowl.

Rao Tu stepped forward and asked, "We are staying here tonight, will those people come after us?"

Xiao Yanning didn't take it seriously: "As soon as they come, they will be at peace, and wait until they catch up to find a way." His words were not honest, but more like a casual perfunctory.

Rao Tu grabbed his sleeve and refused to go any further. Xiao Yanning smiled and reached out and knocked on her forehead, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Rao Tu shook his head: "I'm afraid of dying inexplicably."

"Ratu, do you know how many times I have been killed on the way from Jinling City to Yin Valley?"

"I do not know."

"In half a month, five horses ran to death, and I was kicked out like a dog. More than 200 of Xiao Yanlie's dead soldiers died, but I didn't die. Not only did I not die in the past half month, but I have already lived three times. Ten years. Too many people want me to die in these thirty years, but I'm still alive."

When he said this, there was no trace of pride, and the words in his eyes were full of hatred. It is as if this person, who has been beaten by many storms, can destroy his body, but cannot destroy his will.

Rao Tu stared at him for a long time, then slowly said, "Let's go back." After speaking, she walked forward without looking back.

Xiao Yanning stared at her back.

Rao Tu, I will help you, in addition to the illusory fate, but also because we are very similar. From the first time I saw you in Qingzhou seven years ago, I knew that we are the same people.

This sentence was not spoken in his mind.

On the first floor of the inn by the window, there was a middle-aged woman with a charming charm. The woman was dressed in red, and her face was thinly powdered, which was actually a kind of poignant beauty.

At the entrance of the inn, there was a young lady dressed in silk and satin. The expression on her face was rather tangled. She was happy and annoyed. She was looking forward to it, as if she was waiting for someone.

The middle-aged woman in red took a sip of wine and sighed softly: "He is obviously a cold and ruthless person, but there is an infatuated woman who is nostalgic. In this world, an infatuated man and a woman are bitter, wishful thinking, and even more bitter."

The lady frowned and turned to look at the middle-aged woman. The woman smiled provocatively, raised the wine glass in her hand, and drank the wine in it.

The young lady smiled lightly, "Auntie is really knowledgeable."

The woman in red said: "Little girl, I advise you not to humiliate yourself. That man is not something you can provoke."

The young lady ignored her and heard the footsteps in front of her. She turned her head and saw his handsome face like a fairy. The face was too close and too handsome. She was startled and took a few steps back. Her hind foot was stopped by the threshold, and she was about to fall back.

He was hugged at the lower back, and the blue silk on his temples hung down on the tip of her nose. He smiled warmly, "Girl, slow down."

The young lady blushed suddenly, and after being straightened by him, she felt a little ashamed, and she was speechless. Xiao Yanning smiled and said, "Who is the girl waiting for?"

"I...I'm waiting for my purse."

"Pouch?"

"You... did you take my purse?"

Xiao Yanning smiled slightly and stretched out his hands, "Since the girl is confused, you might as well check it out."

The lady took a deep breath and shook her head suddenly, "I must have lost it accidentally, I...I...I'm sorry."

"Why is Miss alone?"

"My family wants to marry me to an old man, and they are unwilling to leave home." The young lady stared at Xiao Yanning in awe, and told the whole story of her escape.

Xiao Yanning nodded gently, "That's right, Miss is here alone, so there are some evil people who covet Miss's beauty and have bad intentions. Where are you going, I might as well send you."

The young lady was fascinated and murmured: "I am helpless, the world is boundless, I don't know where to go... Can I go with the young master?"

Rao Tu had no interest in the young lady's infatuation and Xiao Yanning's unscrupulousness. She was willing to fight and suffer, so she didn't have to join in the fun. It was just a glimpse of a woman in the room out of the corner of his eye, and he was suddenly taken aback.

The woman in red was leaning against the window sash with a smile, but she was the rambunctious woman from Liuli Mountain, Snake Girl in red.
