imperial psychologist

Chapter 694
Bo Ling carried the rice bowl and turned to the other side, lest today's dinner was overturned by the teenager, she laughed, "How can I take you away? After I finish recording the statement at the Yamen of Zhuozhou Prefecture, I will continue to go north with the Chang family army." , don't forget, it is General Chang himself who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the Li family's favor, so if you follow me, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"

Li Yiru was stunned - yes!
"However... it's not impossible." Bai Ling smiled.

"Good second brother, please don't be a fool!"

"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself," Bo Ling said softly, "Think about it yourself first, and after the deer hunters have completely handed you over to the guards of the Chang family army, what can you do to escape."

Li Yiru frowned, "Second Brother means..."

"These deer hunters are acting strangely and are extremely difficult to deal with, so you might as well keep to yourself during this period of time, acting as if you have accepted your fate and been caught." Bo Ling said softly, "When the deer hunters leave, and your parents are still there Before you arrive in Zhuozhou, you will find another chance to run away."

The boy nodded, "And then?"

"The troops of General Wang Meng are going to Yanzhou, that is to say, when they arrive in Yanzhou, the Chang family army who sent me north will change a group of people." Bo Ling whispered, "If you want to go to Yanzhou Let's go, we can meet outside Yanzhou City, and then go north together..."

Just as Li Yiru was about to say something, Bai Ling said again, "However, since your parents were able to offer a high price to attract deer hunters once, they must be able to attract them a second time. Whether you can escape depends on luck, maybe you You can try to discuss with them and see if they can make a price to send you to Jingzhou safely. If the negotiation can be made, you don’t have to go all the way to Yanzhou to wait for me.”

"...No, don't." Li Yiru shook his head again and again, "I don't want to go with them."

"I'm just talking," Bai Ling laughed, "Although they say they recognize money but not people, I feel that they still give priority to Changsheng's mission, otherwise they would not have let go of An Jiangbian first. Let’s deal with those ship thieves first.”

Li Yiru sighed again, "But I think..."

"If you have any plans, don't tell me." Bo Ling also sighed, "You have to rely on General Chang's men to escort you to the north, and you have to secretly help you escape from Chang's army. I don't know when He will suddenly defect because he can't bear the condemnation of his conscience—"

The boy took a deep breath, "...Second brother!"

Not long after, Wang Meng came back from his inspection tour, and several of them had dinner together, and helped the logistics to do some finishing work together. The amount of swill for a meal of 8000 people is staggering, and the firemen of the logistics force need to dig temporary pits to bury the bones and vegetable dregs.

It was the first time for Bo Ling and Li Yiru to see all these things, and they both felt that they were very fresh, and they didn't feel tired after a busy night.

In the middle of the night, Berlin woke up several times.

She and Li Yiru were in the same tent, and when she turned her head, she could see the restless sleeping face of the boy not far away.

Li Yiru probably had some kind of nightmare, whispering all the time in a daze, with a little bit of annoyance on his face.

Bo Ling was lying on his side, looking at Li Yiru with his arms in his arms, wondering whether he should be envious or not.

……

The army marched very fast during the day, but as it approached Zhuozhou, the terrain gradually became uneven and there were more mountains. Soldiers and horses meandered forward among the high mountains. Every once in a while, scouts would return to the way ahead.

One day when it rained, the team happened to go to Pingchuan, and everyone also encountered a large swamp that the three of Boling had encountered before. They would wrap wood chips under the horseshoes, and they walked arm in arm, and everyone stepped on the grass. Walking across the meadows, or jumping from one meadow to another at intervals, or exploring the depth of the road with their own swords.

Along the way, no one was in danger.

Bo Ling and Li Yiru followed silently, but at the same time they were worried about Mu Cheng's safety—wondering whether he would be in danger when he passed here alone.

This piece of wasteland looks lonely and deserted, if the muddy feet sink deep, I am afraid that no one can rescue it.

On the evening of the seventh day, the crowd finally arrived at the city of Zhuozhou.

Wang Meng was not in a hurry to enter the city, but first ordered the troops to set up camp [-] miles outside the city, and then he drove into the city with a few trusted subordinates and Bo Ling.

Zhuozhou City in the distance showed her outline in the setting sun, and the towering city wall in the distance showed a tragic doomsday in the golden sunset. The defenders on the city wall were holding long spears, motionless, and everything was frozen there. Only the flag of Da Zhou fluttered in the wind on the city wall.

Li Yiru suddenly felt something floating on his face, he raised his head strangely, and stretched out his hand in front of him.

A snowdrop fell on his fingertips, and the moment it fell, it was melted into small water droplets by the heat of his palm.

"...It's snowing." He looked at Bo Ling in surprise, "Second brother! It's snowing!"

Bo Ling also froze for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

Li Yiru pinched his fingers and calculated, "Today is the beginning of September..."

"Sixth day." Bo Ling replied.

Li Yiru was surprised, "Zhuozhou...it snowed in Zhuozhou at the beginning of September!!"

The officer walking in front turned around and laughed, "It's cold early this year, so what's a little bit of snow, the snow in Jingzhou is going to have no knees right now!"

Xuezi stopped and fell, and when several people entered the city gate, their bodies and hair were covered with water droplets, as if they had just walked through a drizzle.

The magistrate of Zhuozhou came to welcome him in person, and talked with Wang Meng for a long time in the pavilion beside the city gate. Although the young man felt that eavesdropping was inappropriate, but the surrounding area was too quiet, and the conversation between the two was still endless.

He was a little bored listening to Wang Meng and the prefect of Zhuozhou talking about what Chang Sheng was doing during this time. The prefect's surname was Cao, and it sounded like he had a personal relationship with Chang Sheng, so he chatted with Wang Meng on the spot on a whim , and even couldn't wait to invite Wang Meng and others to the mansion first.

They talked about Chang Sheng, Shen Jichuan, and when they talked about the deer hunter and Li Yiru, the young man straightened his back and pricked up his ears. After hearing about their plan, he quickly bumped into Bo Ling's hand.

"They are coming to give us a statement tonight." Li Yiru said softly, "It seems that General Wang is not stopping in Zhuozhou at all. Mr. Cao has already prepared all the supplies and grass, and the family army will enter the city tomorrow. , Pull up the supplies and leave."

"So fast?"

Li Yiru smiled, "Well, Mr. Cao said that he prepared a small courtyard for me in the county government office. It seems that I don't have to stay in the office—"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Bo Ling asked with some concern.

"They said..." Li Yiru's expression changed, "Brother Mu was arrested yesterday."
