After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 5 Whoever finds the princess will get a hundred taels of gold

The next day, Chu Lingyao had breakfast in the lobby of the inn. There were two men sitting at the table next to him. One was strong and the other was withered and bookish from beginning to end. The two of them drank and drank since morning. I had to admire how energetic they were. .

Chu Lingyao was drinking porridge when she suddenly heard the two of them talking about the battle on the battlefield.

The strong man raised his glass and sighed, "I heard from my father yesterday that Beiliao will capture Fuyang in about two days."

"What?" The scholar suddenly slammed the table and looked a little startled. The news of the war was blocked to prevent people from panic.

He hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "We are so close to Fuyang, so wouldn't the next step in Beiliao be..."

The strong man glanced at him and said, "Look at your potential, what are you afraid of? The court will find a way. Didn't you see what's posted outside the government office? And even if it does get to that point, the person standing in front of it won't be you."

Chu Lingyao finished the porridge and left the inn calmly.

Halfway there, she met a woman kneeling on the street.

The woman was in ragged clothes and unkempt, holding a baby in her arms. On the ground next to her was her husband, who was wrapped in a straw mat and sold for burial.

Snowflakes fell all over her body, and the straw mat was also covered with a layer. Only the ball in her arms did not feel a trace of coolness.

But when a woman takes a child and buys it back to be a maid, the baby in her arms is a burden, and no one wants to spend money to buy trouble.

Even if a woman's face is dirty, you can still tell that her facial features are ordinary. If someone has evil intentions and wants to sell her to a brothel, they won't accept it.

Crowds of people passed by in the snow, and the bustling streets were bustling with activity. Few people laid their eyes on this out-of-place woman.

Chu Ling lowered her eyes and looked at the woman, recalling in her mind the scene of her mother kneeling down to beg for help. It was also because of that kneeling that her mother met such a miserable ending.

If she had not been sick and had been in the mountains with her mother, maybe her mother would not have died.

Chu Lingyao withdrew his gaze and concealed the undercurrent of emotion in his eyes.

She walked to the government office and scanned the notice posted on the list.

On the most conspicuous page of white paper, there is a portrait, with the following words: "Whoever finds the wandering princess will get a hundred taels of gold." '

It also states in detail that the princess has a birthmark on her back and shoulders.

Chu Lingyao was stunned when she looked at the portrait. She guessed that the painter drew the portrait based on the description given by the King of Xiliang.

After all, how could a daughter not be like her mother?
The person in the painting has a smile on her face, and her facial features do not seem to be fully grown, but her face is clearly beautiful. She is at the stage when she is young and ignorant, and hides the girl's inner thoughts.

Chu Lingyao looks about five points similar to her, but the biggest difference may be that she is less green than the person in the painting.Chu Lingyao did not go to reveal the list immediately. She returned the same way and walked to the woman who had just sold herself.

The woman looked at the pair of shoes parked in front of her on the ground, with joy in her eyes. She looked up and saw Chu Lingyao, and her smile faded.

It was just a little girl who came, dressed simply.

But the woman can't care so much anymore. Anyone who comes now is a hope for her!

"Do you want money?" Chu Lingyao said.

The woman hugged the child and knelt on the ground, "As long as the girl is willing to buy me, let me bury my husband, I will do anything you send me!"

The sleeping baby in her arms was suddenly hugged tightly, and the woman added: "My daughter is very well-behaved! She doesn't make any noise or make a fuss. As long as you give me a place to stay, I will never let her disturb anyone!"

A woman knows what others care about, and she tries her best to put aside their concerns in order to survive.

Chu Lingyao's eyelids drooped, and the depression in her heart became heavier. She squatted down and helped the woman up, "I didn't say I wanted to buy you, I just asked you if you wanted money."

The woman slowly raised her head and looked into Chu Lingyao's cold eyes.

Was she spending money to bury her husband for free?How is this possible?
The woman felt that there was little hope, her eyes were filled with tears, and her chapped lips were trembling, "Girl, please don't try to trick me..."

"I did not lie to you."

Chu Lingyao said it seriously, and there was no hint of joking in his expression.

The woman shed two lines of tears, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "I want it, I want money!"

Chu Lingyao took the woman to her feet and said, "Follow me."

The woman looked back at her husband's body with some doubts.

"No one will steal it."

After saying that, Chu Lingyao walked towards the government office.

The woman gritted her teeth and turned to follow Chu Lingyao.
