Chapter 716
The big troops set off again, heading for the border town!

This road is still day and night, and Xiaoxing stays overnight!
Shutong is so bored, she hides in the space most of the time!
On this day, the team came to a big river, because there were too many horses and horses, and the speed of crossing the bridge slowed down!

Shutong's carriage stopped, and the second master came over, "The queen is going to cross the river in front of her, so she has to pass one by one, and she has to wait for a while. These are sweet persimmons freshly picked by the slaves. Try them out!"

Shutong saw that Hongxia was holding a small basket made of bamboo, inside were fist-sized, bright yellow persimmons!
Washed clean, some still have drops of water!

Hongxia wiped off the water droplets on the surface of the persimmon with a clean handkerchief, and brought it to her!
Shutong chuckled, "You can eat too!"

Pick it up, bite it down, it's sweet and crunchy, it tastes good!
Hongxia was used to serving her, and knew that her master was careless, so she took a mouthful of one without being polite, and nodded repeatedly.

"The persimmons are sweet and crisp, not as bitter as the ones I've eaten before!"

With this reminder, Shutong suddenly remembered that he had picked this kind in the deep mountains and wild forests, and it looked so bright yellow, it was really astringent to take a bite of!
It was strange at the moment, "I heard that freshly picked persimmons need to be processed first, shouldn't this be used?"

Outside the car window, Erdangjia smiled and said, "It also depends on the species. The persimmon trees in the Northland grow extremely tall. As long as they are ripe, you can pick them off and eat them!"

"Look, master, this one was picked at the front!"

Hongxia rolled up the curtains, Shutong looked in the distance, and sure enough, she saw a few very tall persimmon trees beside the official road.

The leaves have all fallen, but the tall branches are hanging. Orange persimmons look very festive!

"It's so tall!"

The second master smiled and said, "Fortunately, there are some good lightness kung fu in our team. The slaves were picked off and tasted, and they were sweet and crispy before offering them to the master!"

"It's not bad!" Shutong took another one, it was sweet and crunchy!
Hearing her praise, the second master was very pleased and winked at his subordinates. Immediately, two agile guards climbed up the tree with small bamboo baskets on their backs, ready to pick off all the things on the top of the tree!
On the top of the trembling treetop, the two moved nimbly, and quickly picked all the persimmons. Just as they were about to come down, someone suddenly exclaimed, "There are people in the water!"

There are national teachers, emperors and princes and ministers on this trip, so it is natural that a large group of people will protect them and clear the roads along the way, in order to prevent assassins!

The guard went to a high place to pick persimmons, only to see someone floating in the upper reaches of the river!

Hearing the exclamation, someone immediately went over to check, and others also raised their vigilance!
Shutong gnawed on a persimmon and looked out!
"I'll go and see the situation!" The second master hurried over!
After a cup of tea, he came back out of breath, "Master! You can cross the bridge now!"

The carriage drove slowly, and got on the bluestone slab bridge on the river. Shutong looked with his head, and there was a floating corpse on the water, which was dragged ashore by soldiers!
"It's a river floating. She looks like a young woman. I don't know whether she committed suicide by throwing herself into the water or slipped into the water!" The second master knows that the master loves to gossip!
Shutong took a look, "That man is still alive!"

Erdangjia was startled, "I'll go and have a look!" and ran over there!
Shutong withdrew his gaze and continued to eat persimmons!

The carriage crossed the bridge and stopped in an open space in front of it!
Hongxia's heart was itching, "Master's eyes are so sharp, she can see whether she is alive or dead from such a distance, and I don't know why she floated here!"

"Master, you shouldn't eat too many persimmons!"

Seeing that Shutong ate seven or eight in one go, Hongxia persuaded, "Why don't we go down for a walk, the carriage will get boring after a long time!"

After Shutong finished eating the one in his hand, he wiped his hands with a wet towel, "Then go down and have a look!"

Because it takes a long time to cross the bridge, many people come down to do some activities. After all, riding a carriage for a long time is also very tiring!
Seeing the national teacher coming down, someone wanted to come over for a chat, but the second master came running out of breath!

"He's still alive, but he's seriously injured, it's pretty miserable!"

Hongxia's eyes sparkled, "Where is it? Master wants to see!"

The second master was a little nervous, and had already guessed what the master was thinking, "I'll be here soon!"

Hengxuan received many reports in the capital. The eldest princess likes to join in the fun and attracted many people to watch the fun too!
This time we met, let him come to watch the fun too!

Someone has already arranged chairs under the tree, respectfully invite the national teacher, His Majesty, and all the nobles to rest for a while!

The wounded woman who was dying was fished out of the water. She didn't look like an assassin, and the proud housekeeper of the Princess Mansion arranged for the guards to send her here!
Two nuns, half-arming and half-dragging a young woman, her clothes were probably wet and she was wrapped in an old cloak.

"Report to the national teacher, Your Majesty! This girl seems to have been beaten severely, and Xiaochan fell into the water and fell into a coma!"

It was the accompanying imperial physician who spoke, "The lower official has just checked, and it was simply bandaged!"

Since the person was sent to the national teacher, it was natural to wake her up. The second master had reminded the imperial physician in advance, not only poured ginseng soup on the injured person, but also gave him a few needles to cheer him up!

The woman's eyes were blank at first, and she burst into tears when she realized that she had been rescued!
After crying a few words, someone ordered her to be quiet, and reminded her carefully that if there is any grievance, someone will make the decision for her!
Only then did the woman cheer up, and was helped to knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving your life!"

With the empress present, the second master unceremoniously pushed the chief executive aside and cleared his throat.

"The kneeling person, why did you fall into the water? If you have any grievances, just tell me, my master will make the decision for you!"

Although the woman didn't know about these people, she didn't dare to look directly at them when she saw that they were a large group of people and all of them were dressed luxuriously.

Guessing that he really met a nobleman, he kowtowed and cried!
"The little woman's surname is Huang. Her parents passed away one after another. Before my father died, he entrusted me and my family property to my fiancé's family!"

"There are only mother and son in the Su family, so they treat me well! My mother-in-law taught me how to spin and weave! Su Dalang is gentle and polite to me!"

"After the parents' filial piety period expired, they married Su Dalang under the witness of their mother-in-law. The little woman followed the court training from a young age. After marriage, she respected her mother-in-law and served her husband. She worked hard every day and dare not neglect!"

"Half a year ago, my husband went to Beijing to rush for the exam. After he left, the little lady found out that she was pregnant. The mother-in-law was also very happy! A month ago, I received a message from my husband that he passed the Jinshi exam and wanted to send someone to bring the whole family to Beijing for a reunion!"

"The little woman was secretly happy, and she offered incense before her parents' spirits, thanking them for their protection!"

"Who would have thought that after one night, everyone's faces changed. My mother-in-law broke into the room and yelled at me for being disobedient and pregnant with an evil seed. She wants to divorce my wife in place of my son!"

"The little lady abides by her duty and never dares to take an extra step. How could she do this? I tried to defend myself, but my mother-in-law refused to listen and beat me up!"

"It's a pity that I am alone, and I have no natal family, and I was knocked out alive. When I woke up, I found myself wrapped in a broken mat and dragged into the mountains!"

She said a line and cried, she cried blood every word, and she was moved by hearing it!
"My mother-in-law thought I was dead, so she arranged for his natal brothers to bury me. Seeing that I was still alive, that uncle wanted to beat me to death with a hoe. If I am full of injustice, I will die!"

"Struggling to escape, unfortunately fell off the cliff and fell into the water. I thought I was doomed to die, but I didn't expect that my parents would bless me with the spirit of heaven, so that I would have to be rescued by noble people and escaped from death!"
