Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"When to set off?"

Of course, the sooner the better, but it's late at night and the mountain roads here are rugged, so it's not a good idea for her to go at night.

Looking at the moon outside, I estimated that it would be dawn in two or three hours.

If you leave earlier, it will get brighter as you go, and you can also hide your tracks under the cover of night.

"You can set off at the hour of Yin..."

"Yes, girl."

Jueyu didn't hesitate at all. In fact, traveling at night was very common for her.

"Go to Anhan. There's a wharf on the Jialing River. Go straight to a manager named Zou..."

Jueyu didn't know the inside story and thought that the girl had arranged this person, so she asked, "But what do I need to give him?"

"Need not"

After a long silence, he looked at Jueyu again with a cold glint in his eyes and said simply, "No need. If he is alone, you can knock him out and bring him back to Xuanyi if it is convenient for you."

After a pause, he continued, "If it's inconvenient, you can just find a way to take his life."

"Yes"

Jueyu was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw a girl with such undisguised murderous intent.

"Okay, go and rest first, you will have a hard time tomorrow"

Seeing that the bowl was empty and there was no trace of steamed buns, Wenshu urged Jueyu to go and rest.

"Yes, girl."

.........

After Jueyu left, he stayed in the study for half an hour before returning to his room.

When I woke up the next day, the sun had risen higher than the loquat tree. The house was quiet and even the windows were closed tightly.

I thought Baoju must have remembered that she hadn't had a good sleep in the past few days and wanted to let her get enough sleep.

Looking at the top of the mosquito net, thinking about the letters that have been pouring in from all directions in the past few days, I felt a little awe-inspiring.

He took a deep breath and sat up.

"Baoju..."

"Hey, girl, you're awake."

Baoju heard the sound and came out from behind the screen the next moment with a basin of water in her hand.

While helping Wenshu wash and dress, he was talking about what happened in the morning.

"You don't know, the people around the fourth young lady came here early in the morning..."

"Oh"

Wenshu was a little surprised. What would a maid ask her to do?

"But she came to tell her fourth sister what she said?"

She turned around and asked Baoju to tidy up the back of her clothes.

"The girl didn't say what it was specifically about, but she just said that her mistress had asked her to pass on a message to you..."

"Passing the message"

Wen Shu sneered and said, "As a master, when will it be her turn as a maid to deliver a message, even if it is her master's message.

That's a lot of grandeur, isn't it? He really thinks he's a few months older than me and an elder, trying to act like one in front of me!"

"Girl, please don't be angry. She's an unruly girl here. Why should you get angry with her..."

It's not her place to get involved in matters between her masters.

"Early this morning, Miss Wen Pei sent a maid over, saying she had a message for you..."

Seeing that the girl didn't show the same discontent as before, he continued, "She was fast asleep at the time, so I made up a random excuse, saying she was frightened and couldn't sleep most of the night!"

Wenshu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the honest and upright Baoju would also know how to adapt.

Watching her fingers threading around her waist, he asked, "What letter did she bring?"

Hearing this, Baoju chuckled and covered her mouth with her hands, "It was said that the old lady asked you not to see guests for the next two days, saying that you were scared..."

After thinking about it, Baoju imitated the girl's taste, put her hands in her pockets, and imagined her expression of being old and arrogant. She learned, "My daughter Pengpeng has always been in poor health. She suffered a lot on the way back from Luoyang. She can't even take care of her own younger sister.

I finally managed to regain some energy and spirit these past few months, but was startled by some monster that was raised in some rice field!

Don't bother her, just let her take good care of herself. If anything happens to her, how will I explain to my protective third brother when he comes back?

I, an old woman, still want to live a peaceful old age. If you can’t make me peaceful, then you can’t live peacefully either.”

.........

Seeing this scene, I wonder if that girl will imitate the same thing in every courtyard.

"Did she say anything else?"

After Baoju finished her studies, she went to the kitchen to bring Wen Zhe's breakfast, set the table and shook her head, "No, I think that girl is Miss Wen Pei's granddaughter. She was divorced a long time ago and just worked as an errand girl for the old lady with her grandmother to earn some money.

Look at her, she's busy trying to imitate others!"

No wonder the girl was so confident and even imitated the old lady's tone of voice when delivering messages.

"What about the Fourth Young Lady's words? How do you respond..."

Speaking of this, Baoju was happy in her heart, "The old lady has spoken, so of course I have to listen to her.

Besides, I’m not stupid enough to let someone else’s maid take control of me.”

"If you have anything to say, tell your fourth daughter to say it, or tell the old lady. The old lady has passed on the message, don't let anyone disturb our girls' cultivation. If something really happens to our girls, we servants will have no way to explain to the old lady."

Wenshu listened quietly, and as she listened to these words, she thought that her grandmother had heard what she said the night before.

It just happened that this happened, so I took advantage of the situation and used this opportunity to let her escape.

"Perhaps, this is a good opportunity."

Wenshu looked outside the yard, but saw no trace of Shaoyao.

"What about Peony...

Why don’t I see anyone? "

Speaking of Peony, she became cheerful. After thinking for a while, she told him everything that happened this morning.

Shaoyao wasn't quite clear about what happened yesterday. When the old lady and the fourth young lady came to deliver the message, she was completely bewildered...

I also knew that such a big thing would reach her ears sooner or later. You also know Shaoyao's temper, so I simply told her the whole story of what happened yesterday.

It also prevents her from mishearing something else and causing trouble for the girl..."

Wen Shu did not comment on this.

"What about her..."

Speaking of this, Weiwei smiled mysteriously and whispered in Wenshu's ear, "She heard that the person Xuanyi brought back was wronged, and she said she had to go and see -

He also said he wanted to find out where those people came from.”

Obtained

But if you find the chance to let that girl vent her anger, she will be very protective of her children and you never know how she will try to trip you up in secret.

Thinking of the next plan, "Go and find Shaoyao. Don't say anything. Bring her back first."

"Yes, the girl is..."

Eat and drink, and look outside.

At this point, if nothing went wrong, we would have reached Anhan long ago.

Now that her grandmother's path had been paved for her, it was time for her to go to the battlefield.

"nightingale"

He suddenly shouted to the empty room.
