Zhao Luoyang had been running around for so long, and she fell into a deep sleep. She vaguely heard someone calling her, but she couldn't open her eyes. After struggling a few times, she fell into a deep sleep again.
It wasn't until dawn that she heard movement outside again.
It seemed that Uncle San and the others were talking, and Feng Laosan was going to take people to find firewood.
Zhao Luoyang opened his eyes all of a sudden.
The room was quiet, everyone was up except her.
Zhao Luoyang stood up immediately and subconsciously spoke to Shi Jiu in his mind: "Shi Jiu, what time is it? Where have they gone?"
When she got up to straighten her clothes, she realized something was wrong.
Shi Jiu ignored her, and...
It seems too quiet.
"Shi Jiu?"
Zhao Luoyang shouted in his mind while sinking his consciousness into the depths of his mind.
The system space was empty, and there was no trace of Shi Jiu. Not only that, the system interface also turned black, leaving only a line of words on it.
[The system is being upgraded]
Zhao Luoyang opened his eyes wide.
Has the system been upgraded? Her charm value is obviously not enough to reach 1,000, so why was it suddenly upgraded?
The important thing is, where did Shi Jiu go?
The place where Shi Jiu was every day was empty, and his illusory figure was nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Luoyang's heart sank for a moment, and her mind went blank. She carefully recalled everything that happened last night. She fell asleep after talking to Shi Jiu. At that time, her charm score was still a few dozen points short of 1,000.
She was sure of this.
Then there may be several situations.
In the first case, the charm value suddenly increased to 1,000 points, and the system automatically upgraded, but she did not know all this in her sleep.
The second type is when there is a problem with the system and the charm value is not reached, so the system is upgraded.
The third type is a complete system failure.
Of these three options, the first seems to be the best. After the upgrade, the system will recover and Shijiu will appear naturally.
After the second system is upgraded, maybe Shi Jiu will come back.
The third type is the worst. It is possible that neither the system nor Shijiu will recover.
Zhao Luoyang sat on the mattress in despair. She suddenly discovered that her dependence on the system was far more serious than she had thought.
It shouldn't be said that it's a dependence on the system, but that I'm used to having Shi Jiu around.
Whenever she speaks, Shijiu will be there. No matter where she goes, Shijiu will follow her.
Thinking back carefully, she heard someone calling him last night. That voice should have been Shi Jiu, and Shi Jiu was reminding her that there were changes in the system.
It's a pity that she slept too deeply.
Zhao Luoyang thought about it and subconsciously touched the mattress under him. There seemed to be something under the pillow.
Zhao Luoyang hurriedly took out the thing, which was an anesthesia and blow needle.
The anesthesia and blow needles were all in the system space, and they suddenly appeared under her pillow. She was not the one who took them out, only Shi Jiu took them out at the critical moment.
In addition to anesthesia and blowing needles, is there anything else?
Zhao Luoyang began to rummage around where he slept, and sure enough he found a folded blow needle tube, beef jerky, chocolate, a ring knife and some atractylodes under the mattress.
There were not many things, so time must have been urgent at that moment. It was not easy for Shi Jiu to be distracted to take them out and help her hide them.
How could she sleep so deeply?
If Shi Jiu controlled her hands to accomplish all this, she shouldn't be clueless. Such an idea can only be explained by system upgrades.
Maybe every time the system is upgraded, she will fall into a deep sleep.
Therefore, the system is automatically upgraded.
Zhao Luoyang's heart dropped slightly.
Last night she was thinking about reading the book, exchanging some items, and then upgrading, but now the sudden upgrade disrupted her plan.
Having just found a place to stay, she didn't have time to exchange for anything else except some polished rice and eggs.
In other words, during the system upgrade process, she could not get anything out of the system.
Zhao Luoyang let out a long breath. The things Shi Jiu had hidden with her seemed particularly precious.
Zhao Luoyang looked at the anesthesia needle in his hand and felt warm in his heart. Shi Jiu was afraid that she would be in danger, so he stuffed the anesthesia needle and ring knife over her.
I don’t know when the system will be upgraded and I can see Shi Jiu again.
Zhao Luoyang gathered her emotions and stood up to put away the things cashed out of the system. Fortunately, her family would not touch her things. She also had to ask Yuan Rang and Yuan Ji to take care of them for her. When there was space before,
, she no longer needs her two younger brothers to look after her, not anymore.
As for self-defense, you should naturally carry it with you.
After arranging those things, Zhao Luoyang packed up. The only voice in the room was her own. Without Shi Jiu, it was really deserted.
She had to go out and ask if someone said something nice about her last night and silently increased her charm by so much.
…
Outside Fengxia Village.
Huaiqing always paid attention to the situation in Xicun.
Huaiguang wanted to take the prince to Taozhou, so he naturally had to take the first step.
He met Nie Shuang a few days ago and learned about what happened to Sun Ji. He was afraid that Sun Ji's people would retaliate against the sixteen households, so no one dared to publicize what the sixteen households had done.
Zhao Jingyun wanted to take care of these sixteen households, but Nie Shuang stopped him.
Although Sun Ji fell, there should still be people from Sun Ji in the government office. If clues were found from Zhao Jingyun's every move, wouldn't sixteen households be put in danger?
Since it's not possible to do it openly, it naturally has to be protected secretly.
So he led his people and followed the sixteen households to Fengxia Village. After all the sixteen households had rested last night, he led his people to patrol around.
While he was watching, someone sent by Huaiguang arrived and told him good news.
The prince's illness has improved and he may wake up soon.
Huaiqing is extremely happy.
Before coming to Taozhou, Huaiguang said that the prince was thinking about the girl from the Zhao family, and he might be able to wake up once he got to Taozhou and got close to the girl from the Zhao family.
If that doesn't work, invite the Zhao family girl over and let the prince see her.
This method sounds really unreasonable, but they have tried everything before, maybe it will work this time?
I didn't expect it to actually work.
Huaiqing didn't know how he felt, but he was very grateful to the Zhao girl. He wanted to run over and kowtow to the Zhao girl immediately.
Of course, he can't do any of this, he can only be secretly grateful. If the Zhao family girl can make the prince fully recover, he will do anything.
This girl from the Zhao family is really a good person, she is like a Bodhisattva.
He thought about what else he could do to help besides guarding the 16 households.
I don’t know how the young prince is doing now? Is he feeling better again?
…
Shi Jiu didn't know who suddenly increased Zhao Luoyang's charm points so much, but he knew that Zhao Luoyang couldn't do anything he had planned.
At the critical moment, he resisted the pulling force and took out several things from the system space and placed them next to her.
After doing this, his vision went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.
When I woke up again, my eyes saw a strange place.
But not far from the bed stood a familiar person.
That is……
Shi Jiu opened his mouth: "Huaiguang."
He didn't speak for a long time, his voice was hoarse and low, but this clear call made Huai Guang in front of him immediately widen his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.
"My lord, you're awake."
Shi Jiu wanted to sit up with his body propped up, but his arms softened and he fell back onto the bed. Fortunately, Huai Guang helped Shi Jiu up first.
"Your Majesty, I knew you would definitely wake up."
Facing the excited Huaiguang, Shi Jiu had many things to ask.
By the way, now he is no longer Shi Jiu, but King Yu Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu spoke again: "Where is this?"
Huaiguang said: "Taozhou."
Helping Xiao Yu lie down, Huaiguang wiped the tears on his face: "You mentioned Taozhou and the Zhao family girls before, so I asked Nie Shuang to go to Taozhou. I didn't expect that something happened to Zhao Jingyun, and the Zhao family
The girl and her sixteen families stayed in Min County to save Zhao Jingyun."
Huaiguang tells everything that happened in Min County.
Xiao Yu nodded, he knew all this, he watched how Nie Shuang captured Sun Ji.
Huaiguang continued: "After Sun Ji was arrested, I made my own decision and took you to Taozhou, thinking that if you saw the Zhao girl, you would be able to wake up."
Xiao Yu said nothing. Even if his body saw Zhao Luoyang, it would be impossible for him to wake up. He could only escape if he met the system's requirements.
But it could be regarded as an accident. He was very close to Zhao Luoyang.
"Stay in Taozhou," Xiao Yu said, "find a place to live in Zhuangzi, and don't let outsiders know about it, especially... people in the palace."
Huaiguang responded.
Xiao Yu continued: "The Zhao family's side..."
Only then did Huaiguang remember: "I asked Huaiqing to rush over and secretly protect the Sixteenth Household. Now that Zhao Jingyun and Nie Shuang are too conspicuous, I'm afraid they will be targeted. I'll make it safer to send people there."
It turned out that Huaiqing had gone, and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Huai Guang saw everything in his eyes and asked tentatively: "My lord, how are you doing? Do you want to see the Zhao family girl?"
