Xin Yi wanted to get out of this cage, so he had to find Nong Zhigao.

But the strange thing is that since he said those words in the hall that day, Nong Zhigao seemed to avoid her intentionally, and never came to see her again.

Therefore, the only "supreme leader" Xin Yi can see is Boom.

This woman guards her like a thief, so why is she willing to report to Nong Zhigao for her?

After Xin Yi failed to lobby Boom for the third time, she starved herself for a day, and finally got summoned by Nong Zhigao the next night.

He had a banquet with the nobles of the clan in the side hall of Nantai.

Xin Yi walked in amidst the melodious music, and saw many strangers, but he couldn't see Fu Jiuqu.

She was a little worried, but she had to pull herself together, pretending to be nonchalant, and walked towards Nong Zhigao.

"Leader Nong."

Nong Zhigao was a little surprised by her rare soft-spoken voice, the hand holding the glass paused, and looked over mockingly.

"I heard you don't eat all day?"

Xin Yi hummed.

"Why? The food in my Nongzhai is not to your liking?"

Xin Yi shook his head, "I'm fat, I have to lose some weight."

This answer surprised Nong Zhigao again, his gaze inadvertently swept across her much plump body, and the corner of his lips raised slightly, "You look good with more flesh. I was too thin before, and I have nowhere to start. "

His voice was not low, which attracted several guests to laugh.

"Your Majesty really dotes on Song Ji."

Xin Yi took a deep breath, looked at Nong Zhigao with a smile on his face, suppressed the displeasure, and said lightly: "I have something to do with Chief Nong."

Nong Zhigao was not surprised.

If there is nothing wrong, how can you come to ask for it?

He tapped the wall of the cup with his index finger, and smiled very lightly and mockingly, "Tell me."

Xin Yi said: "I want to go to the village town to watch the excitement."

Surprised again, Nong Zhigao looked at her a little deeper, "Oh? Haven't you always been uninterested?"

Xin Yi said: "I've never seen the New Year's Eve in Nongzhai, and hearing Boom's words made my heart itch, so I wanted to see the world..."

"Hahahahaha." Nong Zhigao liked that she liked the festivals of his own clan, and seeing her bright eyes seemed to sparkle with curiosity, he couldn't help smiling heartily.

"Go ahead and let Boom go with you."

Xin Yi felt relieved, "Thank you, Chief Nong."

Seeing her impatiently lifting her skirt and about to leave, Nong Zhigao smiled suddenly.

"return!"

Xin Yi turned to look at him.

Nong Zhigao had a deep smile in his eyes, and raised his chin to signal to the Nong nobles in the hall, "Why don't you salute the venerable elders?"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, and oh, feeling weird in his heart.

For some reason, she felt that Nong Zhigao's eyes were a little sticky.

Moreover, as a hostage, in what capacity would she salute his elder?

She didn't speak, just nodded slightly to everyone, and left.

Nong Zhigao didn't blame him, and smiled lightly in his eye sockets: "Don't be playful, come back before dark."

Xin Yi had already walked away, and he didn't seem to hear him at all.

"Hmph!" A senior nobleman suddenly uttered displeasure, "Your Majesty is too used to her. A Song girl should be treated as a servant, how can she be regarded as an honored guest?"

When someone spoke, someone followed to express their dissatisfaction.

"I heard that she is still Fu Jiuqu's woman. The King of Guangling County did this to us. Why should the King treat her with courtesy?"

Nong Zhigao drank lightly, spread his feet, and changed into a comfortable position.

"Not any more."

Everyone looked puzzled.

Nong Zhigao's voice sank slightly.

"From now on, she will be my woman. Zhigao still hopes that all the venerables will be cautious..."

The side hall immediately fell silent.

Nong Zhigao has always been a person who does his own way, he can be said to be heroic, or he can be called arrogant. He calls the venerable, which seems to be a request, but in fact it is a warning that they should not be rude to his woman.

And this woman is the only one who can go to his hall and sit and drink with him.

"My lord... alas!"

The oldest patriarch plucked up the courage to persuade him.

"What kind of woman do you want? Why do you fall in love with a Song girl? It's fine if the Song court refuses to make peace talks. If the Song court wants to talk about redeeming people in the future, what should the king do?"

Nong Zhi raised his eyebrows, raised his glass disapprovingly and drank it down, and then let out a low sneer.

"That depends on Song Ting's sincerity."

~

During these days in Nongzhai, Xin Yi often wondered what it would be like to see Fu Jiuqu again, what kind of expression he should look at him, and what he should say to him, but he really got out of the cage-like room and walked into the busy traffic. In Zhaizhen, on the contrary, she calmed down and stopped thinking wildly...

This is a place where the customs are completely different from those in the Central Plains.

Before going out, Boum specially dressed up, put on new clothes, decorated with jewelry, and led his son clangingly, deliberately showing the mistress in front of Xin Yi.

But when he got into the carriage, he saw Xin Yi's pale face, clean and beautiful without any jewelry, and faintly overshadowed her without saying a word, and couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"Yongchang, is Ah Mie (pronounced meh, mother) beautiful?"

The son is the heart and soul of the mother.

Yongchang turned to look at his mother and nodded.

Then put a knife on it.

"Ah Nie is beautiful, Auntie is even more beautiful."

Auntie is a homonym of Xin Yi's name. Children simply don't understand the complexity of the adult world. They are happy to call it that, so Xin Yi takes it as Auntie and readily accepts it.

These days, she gets along happily with the children, and often sees the shadows of the three little ones on them, and secretly asks the children to help her find the lost golden doll...

Although the golden baby was not found, and Nong Zhigao was furious because of it, she formed a friendship with the children.

Yongchang praised her very sincerely, but Xin Yi dared not accept it.

After all, this is the first time she has left Nong Zhigao's "castle", and she has to rely on Boum's kindness to stay outside for a while and find a chance to meet Fu Jiuqu, so she can't offend her.

"Yongchang, the beauty of your aunt is different from that of your aunt."

Since Yongchang got sick last time and was cured by Xin Yi, he has been very close to her, and stared at her curiously.

"What's the difference?"

Xin Yi glanced at Boum's displeased face and smiled slightly.

"Auntie is an ordinary girl in Bianjing, but your Auntie is the most beautiful girl in Nongzhai. What do you think is different?"

Yongchang opened his eyes wide.

Xin Yi didn't wait for him to speak, and then asked:

"Think about it, have you ever seen anyone more beautiful than you in Nongzhai?"

Yongchang shook his head, "No, Ah Mie is the most beautiful."

Xin Yi smiled cheerfully and patted his head.

Boom's complexion also looked much better.

In fact, after getting along for so long, Boom can also see that Xin Yizhi is not in Nongzhai, and he has no affection for Nong Zhigao. It's just a man's mind, and they can't control them as women...

Boom sighed and looked at Xin Yi with kind eyes for the first time.

"That stockade used to be my natal family."

The streets and towns of the Nong people are connected by villages, and there will be exchanges between the villages, but there is a significant difference from the towns of the Song Dynasty, because there will be more "bartering" instead of currency transactions.

Under Boom's guidance, Xin Yi watched the excitement in the village.

People are buying and selling, preparing items for the New Year's Eve.

The goods are placed on the stone platform, which is full of beautiful things in eyes.Some merchants also hang flags like Song Shang, but the words written on them Xinyi can’t read, they look like totems, and the faces of people who come and go are full of festive smiles.

There is no shadow of war here.

"When I followed the king, I just turned sixteen..." Boum's voice was gentle and soft, with some inexplicable emotions, telling Xin Yi the god in her heart.

"The king is the most handsome and strong man in the village. All the daughters in the village want to be the king's concubine. When I first met him at the age of 14, I liked him very much. But I am the daughter of an ordinary family, so I had no chance. Those who serve the king..."

"That day was also the New Year's Eve. I took the fox fur hunted by my grandfather to the village to sell. I was treated lightly. It happened that the king passed by on the road and rescued me..."

"I am sixteen, and the king is seventeen. They all said that I am the king's first woman, and I will be extremely honored and favored in the future...In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and the king gave my mother's family gold and silver treasures, and gave my brother an official title." Granted the land, but did not give me a... the title I want."

A story of a hero saving the beauty is lingering and pathetic told by Boom.

Originally promised in secret, and then being rescued by Nong Zhigao, there are still ten years of getting along and having children. Bumu's attachment and admiration for Nong Zhigao can be seen.

But as Nong Zhigao's concubine, although she has children, she has the same status as other women. Apart from being an old man by Nong Zhigao's side and having more face, she didn't get a title that could make her feel at ease.

In the past ten years, Nong Zhigao has had many women one after another, but he has never asked her if she is happy, let alone cared about her feelings...

Xin Yi sighed when he heard it, and echoed Boom from time to time, but looked at the streets on both sides...

"You are different." Boom is still saying: "The king takes you very seriously, maybe he wants to marry you to be his Yaji and the queen of the Nong people... ah!"

The carriage suddenly jolted, and the bamboo curtains fluttered, but when it was dark, a few barbarian youths rushed forward with laughter and blocked the way of the carriage, muttering and teasing.

Xin Yi couldn't understand what they were talking about, but Boom's face was ugly.

At this time, several accompanying guards had already stepped forward, pointing at the young men aggressively, signaling them to retreat, this is the king's carriage.

Unexpectedly, in exchange for their loud laughter, more people gathered to watch.

On the New Year's Day, according to the rules of the Nong people, they would not quarrel with their clansmen. The guards were angry and scolded, but they were very restrained. They did not draw their swords to kill people. of youth are pushed off the road...

Unexpectedly, those few people seemed to be drunk from drinking, and even flirted with the king's guards without hesitation.

All of a sudden, the scene was very chaotic.

Xin Yi's chest was thumping wildly, and his gaze caught on to the man in the crowd who was dressed in short kraft linen. He had a thin face, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were deep and dark, and when he lifted his lips, he felt cold. of prey.

Several youths were still frantically pushing forward.

Except for Xin Yi, no one noticed the several strong men with weapons in the crowd who touched the carriage.

Then, a bullock cart suddenly lost control and slammed into the carriage.

There was a burst of screaming, one after another.

Boom hugged his son Yongchang in a panic, but didn't see Xin Yi rolling down from the carriage amidst the violent collision...

When the carriage quieted down, Boom turned his head, only to find that Xin Yi was not there, and was immediately terrified.

"Xinyi?! Where are people—"

Boom eagerly opened the bamboo curtain and looked out of the crowd with wide eyes.

In the distance, there was a loud sound of horseshoes rushing away.

She only saw a corner of Xin Yi's dress flying around on the horse.

"Song Nu escaped! Song Nu escaped! Hurry up!"
