The plague raged among the armies of Chu and Song, and their military strength was suddenly greatly reduced.

Although Song and Chu had negotiated a peace, the plague in the army could not be alleviated. Both countries sent famous doctors from the country to the military camps for treatment, but it was a pity that all efforts were in vain.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and even the Chu State's Linjiang River was like the Song State's Jade City, with heavy snowfall.

King Chu was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, holding Yan Xiao in one hand and Xiao En in the other, and the three of them walked slowly on the snow in Zhaohuang Palace.

Xiao En pinched the snowball in his hand, lowered his head and muttered: "Mom, I miss Xiaoying so much... If he were here, he would definitely play snowball fights with me. He told me that when you were children, you often had snowball fights in Chen Guo. I

I’ve never seen snow before, and I don’t believe snowflakes can be made into balls and thrown.”

Shu'er stretched out her hand and caught a few cool snowflakes in the boundless darkness before her eyes.

"Mom misses him very much too."

Xiao En looked up at Shu'er who looked calm, wrinkled her nose and said, "But I've never seen you cry."

Shu'er explained: "Because I promised him not to cry."

Xiao En was confused for a moment and had to give up.

Shu'er added: "He had never seen snow when he was a child. I told him that snowflakes can be made into balls and thrown, but he didn't believe me."

Xiao En was confused again: "But didn't mother and Xiaoying grow up together? He had never seen snow when he was a child. Where did mother see it?"

"Jade City."

When Xiao En heard the word Yudu, he immediately became angry: "The last time I saw King Song, he told me that he lived in Yudu. He also said that he would take me to the White Jade Palace to play. I asked him about the White Jade Palace

What fun things are there that are not found in Zhaohuang Palace? He said that you can play in the snow in the Baiyu Palace in winter. But I can also play in the snow in Zhaohuang Palace! It seems that King Song is indeed the biggest liar and bad guy in the world.

!

He lied to me and said he wanted to take me to Yudu, but he tricked Xiaoying into going to see him, causing Xiaoying to sleep in the mausoleum. He also lied to me that he was my father... My biological father is a hundred times better than him.

Times!"

Shu'er sighed: "But your biological father is gone. Since you were born, you can only protect yourself by recognizing King Song as your father. Now that your mother has become the King of Chu, you no longer have to recognize King Song as your father. These years you

You have always considered King Song as your father, and you must blame my mother for lying to you."

Xiao En was even more angry: "So King Song made us lie to other people! I hate him! If I see him again, I will definitely avenge Xiaoying! I will let him sleep in the mausoleum, never again

You can’t eat delicious food and play with fun things!”

Revenge? Delicious? Fun?

Listening to her daughter's tender voice, Shu'er never expected that the five-year-old child would actually use the word "revenge".

Shu'er couldn't help but recall that when she was five years old, she was eating, drinking and having fun with Liu Jing in the White Jade Palace. But she still doesn't understand what hatred is.

After all, her enemies were kind to her, and her benefactors were grudges to her. Even as smart as she was, she still couldn't settle the accounts in the past. The only thing that could be settled was her debt to all of them.

She should have hated Liu Jing to the core, but who knew that in her first memory? The one who shared delicious food and fun things with her, took her all over the White Jade Palace, and had snowball fights unscrupulously, was Liu Jing...

The person who rescued her barefoot from the prison in Song Dynasty? It was also Liu Jing.

Seeing that Shu'er was still silent, Xiao En asked, "Mother, don't you hate King Song? Isn't he our enemy?"

Shu'er's tone was indifferent: "He saved my life? I also saved his life. Actually? Your father's death, and Xiaoying's death? I also have an unshirkable responsibility. I didn't listen to my mother's words.

, I did everything on my own initiative? That’s why I harmed them.

Xiao En? Are you still young? You may not understand many things yet..."

Xiao En held Shu'er's hand with both hands: "I understand! I don't blame my mother! I will always listen to my mother's words! My uncle and Xiaoying both told me that my mother mistakenly identified her parents when she was a child? Still?

Lost? I suffered a lot outside. They told me never to blame my mother. I should protect my mother well and listen to my mother's words. I should stay with my mother. Xiao En will do it."

Shu'er felt warm in her heart. She touched her daughter's head and said, "Mother will always protect you, love you, and accompany you."

Yan Xiao also patted Shu'er's hand and said, "Fortunately, all the hardships come with joy. Having a daughter like Xiao En is a blessing."

The three of them were talking when suddenly a man from the palace hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, an urgent military report came from the Anyi army, saying that they are Rong people... The Rong people have captured tens of thousands of Chu people who are still in the Song Dynasty.

military!"

Yan Xiao was shocked: "Did the Rong people bypass the Song State so quickly? Or did the Song State deliberately release water? In the battle of Xiling, the King of Song used the Rong people to destroy Qi, Wei, and Shu..."

Shu'er lowered her eyelashes and recalled the last words Lin Ying said to her before she died - "I sent someone to advise Liu Jing about the Peerless Peak."

Therefore, the person behind the scenes who used the Rong people to destroy Qi, Wei, and Shu, and then put both the credit and the blame on Liu Jing, was actually Lin Ying, whom she was the most unprepared for! Every time she thought about it, Shu'er shuddered and was surprised by Lin Ying.

Ying's thoughts are secretive and his methods are cunning. But it is those thoughts and methods that are deeply hidden by him that make her feel most at ease when he is by her side.

Now that we know Lin Ying's methods, we can imagine that the Song Dynasty today is not the Song Dynasty when the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Chen and Shu conquered the Song Dynasty. When Lin Ying was in power, she had been secretly sending Zhao Qi to control the Chu and Song commerce. In fact, the commercial war

It has never stopped. There are so many Song coins that they have long lost their value. Shu'er heard that many people in the Song Dynasty had switched to using Chu coins for transactions, and couldn't help but secretly sigh. It turned out that Lin Yingtong had read the manuscripts passed down from generation to generation of the island owners on Xuanji Island by the Zhuge family.

, actually realized this plan to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The Chu army was invincible, the plague entangled the Song army, and the soldiers came back... In this moment of unrest, Shu'er recalled the day of Liu Jing's wedding, when he walked under the warm sun, shining brightly.

At that time, how could he have imagined that the Song Dynasty would be in such a state of decline.

Shu'er was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said to the palace servant who came to report: "King Xuan'an Yi came to see me."

The palace man lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, King Anyi is not in the army, not in the mansion, and not in the palace. King Anyi... is missing."

Shu'er said again: "Then Xuan Lu will come to see me."

The palace attendant responded, "Yes." Then he hurried away.

…

On the outskirts of the Jade Capital of the Song Dynasty, Liu Jing once again went to the thatched cottage in the snow to visit Taoist Master Miexuan. However, the thatched cottage was empty, and the Taoist priest and his young apprentice were nowhere to be found.

It turned out that Liu Rong had taken Xue Fan to the border of Song and Chu where the plague was raging.

He thought that maybe he could use the medical skills he learned at Yaowang Mountain to save people from danger, so that he could help his adoptive father atone for the sin of leading the Rong people deep into Kyushu again.

What the world doesn't know is that the reason why the Rong people were able to successfully bypass the Zhao and Song borders and go straight to Chu after breaking through the Jinyang Pass was because their adoptive father sent an extremely detailed map of Kyushu to Mobei Wolf City.
