Start with planting a tree

The man had to return to the city at a certain time, and after he left, the five of them built a bonfire and sat around together.

A pot of boiling water symbolically boiled on the fire, and the steam made the faces of several people very soft.

Meng Heyin looked at the listless look of a group of people, and felt that he had the burden of adjusting the atmosphere: "What's the matter? We are going to do an earth-shattering event tomorrow, why are you all so depressed?"

"Lvwei, look at you, your face is wrinkled like a bitter melon."

Green Tiny Bitter Gourd covered her face with her hands: "Miss, Dingzhou City sounds so dangerous, do we really want to go in?"

Before Meng Heyin could speak, Huainian, who was sharpening his knife, had already spoken.

"No need." Huainian said coldly, "It is enough for me to avenge myself, you can go to Shangyang Kingdom instead."

Bai Miao reached out and patted Lu Wei, and Lu Wei realized that she had said something wrong: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..."

Huainian shook his head: "It's okay, this is my business, I am very grateful to you for escorting me here. If this is the case, you should hurry to Shangyang Kingdom..."

"Snapped!"

It was the sound of palms clapping on thighs.

Meng Heyin rubbed his thighs and said, "Which little garlic seedling are you? When will it be your turn to give orders in our gang?"

I choked when I was pregnant, and I didn't know how to reply.

Meng Heyin then said: "I tell you, Mrs. Ji handed you over to me, and I will be responsible to you to the end! I will definitely avenge you."

Bai Miao and Lu Wei also nodded like chickens pecking rice, while Ning Zai glanced at everyone, full of thoughts.

Huainian huddled together anxiously, Meng Heyin said with satisfaction: "Next, let's discuss tomorrow's actions..."

After the discussion, it was already mid-moon, and Lu Wei and Bai Miao had long been drowsy and fell to the ground, while Meng Heyin was hanging on a tree a little farther away.

Everything was quiet, Huainian was still sharpening the precious sword full of jewels, after the sound of shouting, Huainian put the precious sword into the scabbard very solemnly, and then stood up stealthily.

When he was about to take the first step, an iron hand clasped his shoulder.

He looked back in horror, and it turned out to be Ning Zai who hadn't spoken much all day.

Ning Zai raised his chin at him, and the two walked to the woods on the other side in tacit understanding.

"Are you ready to go?" Ning Zai asked.

Being told through his mind, Huai Nian was a little unnatural: "This is my own business, and I don't want you to be in danger."

"Then what if you die?"

Huainian was about to blurt out the words "I will die when I die", when I heard Ning Zai continue: "Have you ever thought about Miss Meng? Lu Wei? Bai Miao? Me? We will all feel guilty for letting you die for the rest of our lives. "

"There is still a chance for the five of us to go. If you go alone, you will definitely die. We know you will die but don't stop us. How is it different from murder?"

"Do you have the heart to see us spend the rest of our lives on the charge of not being saved?"

"And Mrs. Ji, have you forgotten? She is still waiting for you to go home in Qiongzhou."

Tears welled up in Huai Nian's eyes: "I...I don't know...you, Ben, have nothing to do with me..."

Ning Zai patted him on the shoulder: "After following Ms. Meng these days, I understand a truth: those who go ashore should help those who are drowning."

Seeing that Huainian didn't quite understand, Ning Zai continued: "Think carefully, aren't we all drowning people rescued by Miss Meng?"

Tears of nostalgia welled up in his eyes, and Ning Zai patted him on the arm very rigidly. After the two of them said a few more words, they returned to rest by the campfire.

On the side of the place where the two were standing just now, a face as bright as a bright moon frowned and sneered inwardly: "The people who went ashore should have helped the drowning, it's really sour."

"I'm not."

This sentence may be scattered into the breeze, or it may be gathered in the dense branches and leaves.

With the clouds gradually clearing in the sky, a carriage stopped at the gate of Dingzhou City no sooner or later under the rising sun.

The soldiers guarding the city were indeed divided into two groups as rumored, one group was the subordinates of the city lord, and the other group was called by the so-called big shot.

These two groups of guards stood on both sides of the city gate, one side was upright and serious, the other side was messy and idle, and the Chu River Han border was clearly separated.

Seeing the carriage approaching, the serious guards stepped forward first, and said to Ning Zai who was driving, "Dingzhou City is under martial law. If you don't have a warrant, you are not allowed to enter."

Ning Zai had expected this trouble a long time ago, so he took out the money he had prepared earlier and sent it up: "Your Excellency, my lady is ill, and I have to borrow the road to go to the capital. The journey is exhausting, please forgive me." , let us borrow a way."

The guard took the silver and put it in his pocket without hesitation, but he didn't have the slightest intention to let go of the gate.

Ning Zai said anxiously: "My lord, why is this?"

The guard snorted softly, and said disdainfully: "Dingzhou City is under martial law, and the entire Qi State is being guarded; your lady is just going to the capital to see a doctor, and it's okay to take a detour. Could it be that your lady's illness is more dangerous than the country's security? Is it even more important?!"

Ning Zai was not good at speech, and now he suffered from being dumb, and he didn't know how to refute.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a handsome face: "My lord, my young lady is already delicate, and it was because of her serious illness that she went to the capital to seek medical treatment. If there is a delay, wouldn't it be harmful?" Killed my young lady?"

The guard peeked into the carriage, but due to the light and angle, he couldn't see clearly, he only felt that it was two beautiful women.

At this time, by coincidence, there were two light coughing sounds in the carriage, followed by a female voice.

"Bai Miao, don't embarrass your lord..." He coughed again as he said that, listening to the voice, he was as angry as a thread.

The guards couldn't bear it, and hesitated on the spot, not knowing how to deal with it.

At this time, another group of guards also looked over, and almost instantly noticed Bai Miao who raised the curtain to reveal a small face.

Several guards looked at each other and smiled, with a little obscenity in their brows, and then hurried over and asked, "What happened?"

Ning Zai said the same rhetoric again, mixed with Bai Miao and Meng Heyin's weak flattery, and frightened the idle guards into a fog, not knowing what the world was like.

Finally, the idle guard said to the serious guard: "Look at this lady, there is only such a groom, and the others are all delicate and weak Miss Jiao, what can happen to them when they enter the city?"

The guard said solemnly: "But your lord has an order that no outsiders are allowed to enter the city without authorization."

"If we allow them, it's not trespassing."

The idle guards frivolously blinked at the serious guards. The serious guards wanted to say something, but because of the people behind them, they could only retreat.

Before the serious guards retreated, Ning Zai suddenly stopped him, took out the money bag with displeasure on the faces of the serious guards, and respectfully handed it over to the idle guards.

"The way of business is the exchange. Since this lord has accommodated us, of course the money should be handed over to this lord."

The idle guard who got the money was even happier, and let the brothers open the door with a wave of his hand.

Bai Miao closed the curtain and said angrily: "Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters, but he takes money and doesn't do anything, that's how it should be!"

Looking at Meng Heyin again, she also laughed out loud, not a little angry.

After the carriage entered the city, the serious guards gouged out the idle guards with extreme disgust.

"Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. If something really happens, I'm afraid your master will suffer."

The idle guards were distributing money, and when they heard this, they all laughed inwardly.

It's just a little lady. Once she enters the city, whether she can get out or not is another matter.
