Chapter 10
They walked leisurely for a month, and in early July, they entered the territory of Qiuchi Kingdom (Note 1).

Qiuchi is a small country. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was stuck between the Celestial Dynasty and the Wuhu. It was not worth seeing at first, but it didn't matter whether it was the former Qin Dynasty that dominated for a while, or the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the royal family, there were no fewer than twenty regimes. Rise and fall suddenly, only it has survived in the cracks between war and political power.

Maybe the countries didn't pay much attention to this small piece of land, and maybe the lord of the Qiuchi Kingdom knew how to advance and retreat. No matter what, during the hundred years of constant wars, the Qiuchi Kingdom has always been on the sidelines. Not thriving, but also living and working in peace and contentment.

It is precisely because of this that merchants from the north and the south, small businesses, and scattered people all gather here, which cannot but be said to be a mixed bag.

In order to prevent fine work from being mixed in, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty banned the trade between the north and the south.But whenever it is profitable, there will always be someone willing to take the risk.And Qiu Chi became their best cover.

Qiuchi has Wudu Town in the north, which is located in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty; and Yinping County in the south. In the Song Dynasty, the land spans the north and the south, and it has become a treasure land for business!
A group of people escorting Yao Yu entered Qiuchi with Song's customs clearance document, and the head of the army told Yaoyu and Zimo how to arrange them for the news that Shu County hadn't come yet. Qiuchi was so busy that they might as well stay here for a few days Wait for the news.

The leader of the army led the two of them into the room of the post station and said, "After all, it is on someone else's territory, and you guys have to put on a show so as not to be talked about. It's fine with handcuffing, and I will only lock the door of this room." Lock it and let other people see it. After dinner, I will send someone to bring the food into the room, and the two of you who are wronged will just leave it in the room."

After he finished speaking, he backed out and unlocked it as he said.

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

At dinner, someone brought food and wine, and soon went out again.

Another half an hour later, the person picking up the dishes tiptoed to the door of Yaoyu and Zimo's room, raised his hand and knocked the door lightly a few times, and asked, "Have you finished your meal?"

He even asked twice and didn't get an answer from inside, so he gritted his teeth, made a big determination, licked his finger, poked a small hole in the paper window, and peeped inside in fear.

Yao Yu and Zimo were both lying on the table, several dishes were knocked over, and one fell to the ground and broke.Seeing this, he hurried out of the station!

Seeing him coming out, Bingtou hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

The man ran too fast just now, he was out of breath and said, "Sleep, sleep to death!"

Hearing this, the soldier waved his hand and shouted, "Do it!"

The soldiers in charge of the escort ran to the outside of the post house. At this time, fire oil had already been sprinkled around the post house. The soldiers started fire 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 regretfully, "Alas—those two children are not bad."

A cowardly person probably did this kind of thing for the first time, and asked without knowing it: "Miss Tan is a criminal after all, she just died like this, if the higher-ups pursue her..."

Hearing this, the soldier said relievedly for them: "Everything has been taken care of at Qiuchi. The counselors around the county guard will wait for me to issue documents to prove it."

The man was still afraid after hearing this: "But if General Tan knows, he will definitely come to us to ask for someone."

Bingtou shouted angrily, "Collect people's money and eliminate disasters from people! You protect them, who will protect your family! This girl has long been abandoned by the Tan family! Those two are now The serious master of Tan Mansion."

"Ha! I thought it was the little emperor who couldn't get over his head and wanted to kill me. It turned out that it was Jiang's mother and son who wanted to kill the grass!"

A sneer came from behind a group of people. When everyone heard the words, before turning their heads, they were already slumped on the ground in fright!Bingtou reluctantly turned his face away, but when he saw Tan Yaoyu, he stammered, "You, you, you..."

Yao Yu looked down on his cowardly appearance, and said disdainfully, "Only you, dare to touch this girl?" As she spoke, she approached the crowd step by step.

Bingtou immediately fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy loudly, "Miss Tan, please forgive me! Miss Tan, please spare my life! The little people are forced to do so! Then Jiang said, if we don't get rid of you, we will kill all of us." Your family will save your life for you! The villains are so cruel..."

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

"Yes! Ah, it's not all!" The matter has come to this point, and the leader of the army did not dare to hide it, and said truthfully, "At first, Jiang asked the younger ones to go to Berkshire to do it, and then cast the girl and Zimo Langjun In the Yangtze River, I reported that you escaped because of your kung fu. Later, Mr. Tan Lang came in and asked the younger ones to change their way to Qiu Chi country. After you were burned to death, they blamed Qiu Chi country. He said that this time the Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the first The emperor passed away, and there was a change, if this is used to force Qiu Chi to submit and secretly help our court, General Tan will definitely win a big victory. So...so..."

He didn't dare to say anything later, and he didn't need to say any more.

Yao Yu thought about it, unexpectedly, that brat knew how to attack Guo by false routes, and took advantage of her death to force Qiu Chi to side with the Song Dynasty.It's a pity that he was superfluous, and once he changed his course, it made Yao Yu suspicious.

In the final analysis, it was Tan Lang-kun who underestimated his half-sister, thinking that she just learned the magic arts in a crooked way, but he didn't know that she had studied the art of war for several years.She is familiar with the scenery of various places and the main roads of the march. As soon as the team changed its course, she noticed something strange and was always on guard.

Yao Yu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, they have treated her very well these past few days, the reason why she dared to confront her with swords and swords today was because she had no choice but to do so.

Tan Yaoyu rolled his eyes, and he had a plan in mind.

She turned her head to look at Zimo, winked at him, and then raised her jade hand and said, "Get up, after the fire is over, there probably won't be even ash left. You go back and say that Zimo and I were killed as planned." Burn it to death, so that the people of Tan Mansion will not make things difficult for you again."

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

"Me? Of course I'm dead." Zhao Yu smiled mysteriously, and said, "Remember, we were burned to death according to Mr. Tan Langjun's plan. Apart from that, don't say a word, otherwise, your family members will die." It's not as simple as just dying."

Everyone nodded, and seeing that Yao Yu didn't say anything more, they fled in a hurry.

Zhao Yu looked at the officers and soldiers panicking in the distance, and suddenly said softly, "Even if I let you go, Mrs. Jiang probably wouldn't let you live. This is the path you chose yourself, so you can't blame me."

Seeing that everyone had disappeared, Yao Yu and Zimo looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly.The two of them had already planned in private that instead of being sent to Shu County to do hard labor for a lifetime, it would be better to "die" and be free in the future.

Although Tan Lang-kun's scheme was to cut grass and roots, it actually helped them.From then on, there was no demon girl Tan Yaoyu in this world, and there was only one Yaoyu with unique skills left.

The two laughed and laughed, and suddenly Yao Yu's stomach growled, and she slapped her forehead, it's broken!Forget about leaving some silver for those soldiers!

An hour later, Yao Yu and Zimo sat at the corner of the market, watching the beautiful afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the...well, the snow-white steamed buns...and listening to my stomach rumbling over and over again...

Yao Yu shook his head and decided not to look at the steamed bun again, so he deliberately changed the topic and said, "Zimo, do you remember that the master once said a word to me the day he left?"

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

"I had already forgotten about this matter. Recently, for some reason, this sentence seemed to pop out from a crack in a rock, and it kept hitting my head. I have a feeling that the master should know about me. He's guiding me, but I really don't know what that means."

Ever since Yao Yu left the underground palace, her mood had been filled with joy, but now she couldn't help being depressed.

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

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

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

Think about the martial arts that I have practiced hard for ten years, and now I use it to do little tricks...

Forget it, if you can fill your stomach, you can apply what you have learned.The buns are so delicious!
 Remark 1: Qiu Chi State is located behind the current Chengdu, in the area of ​​Aba Autonomous Region, and in the area of ​​Jiuzhaigou.
