Wonderland of Love 乐游原 Episode 4

Liu Chengfeng and Cui Lin grew up together since childhood. In his eyes, Cui Lin is different from other women in this world. Since childhood, Cui Lin had treated him differently from everyone else in the world. He had long been pleased with Cui Lin, but he didn't know whether the other person's heart actually included him. Hearing that Taozi had found Cui Lin, he quickly drank the medicinal soup and planned to move forward, hoping to meet Cui Lin who returned. Here, Guo Zhi has led his army to approach Wangzhou City. The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, so Pei Yuan planned to abandon the city and evacuate.

After holding on for a breath, she arrived in the city, but Cui Lin finally couldn't hold on and passed out. Li Ni found a doctor for Cui Lin and even prepared medicine for her personally. Cui Lin was sleeping profusely and fell into a nightmare. In the dream, she was chased by a group of people at a young age. Her relatives died one by one in front of her eyes. In order to save her, her mother had to stay and deal with the thieves. Cui Lin shouted "Mom" and tried to grab something, but couldn't. Li Ni had a look of disgust on his face, but he did not stop what he was doing. He lifted Cui Lin up and gave her medicine in one go, as if he had become a husband taking care of his wife. When Cui Lin woke up, she thought Li Ni was going to do something wrong to her and wanted to stab him with a hidden weapon. Li Yi avoided the hidden weapon without blinking an eyelid, and went to apply the medicine to Cui Lin. Cui Lin's heart felt warm and she allowed Li Ni to apply the herbal medicine on her wound.

At night, the two finally sat down and had a long talk. Cui Lin bluntly said that she also regretted not being able to save the old couple. When she was young, she grew up in the border area. One day, all the men in the city went out to fight, and another group of enemies took the opportunity to circle around and attack the city. The women in the city put on military uniforms, carried spears and halberds to protect their homes and the city. Cui Lin's mother-in-law asked her to crawl out of the underground well to escape, but she stayed to fight with the women in the city until the last moment. When Cui Lin and her father returned to the city, they saw the bodies of the women hanging on the city wall, with blood flowing down the city wall. From that moment on, Cui Lin memorized A Niang’s words: only by living can she save more people.

Along the way, Cui Lin and Li Ni felt very uncomfortable as they watched the number of refugees increasing. Hearing that the Zhenxi Army was defeated and Guo Zhi once again occupied Wangzhou City, the people couldn't help but sigh, "The people are suffering when they prosper; when they die, the people are suffering." Hearing these words, Li Yi didn't say anything, but his anxiety and sorrow were clearly shown on his face. He bought candied fruits to please Cui Lin and wanted to conquer Bingzhou with her.

Han Li, the lord of Bingzhou City, is a cunning, double-dealing villain. He had earlier disobeyed the court's orders and was inseparable from the rebellious Sun Jing. Han Li only had two cities, Bingzhou and Jianzhou, but these two cities were located at the intersection of waterways. Whether transporting food or troops, they had to pass through these two places. Jianzhou is only more than two hundred miles away from Bingzhou, and it can be reached overnight by horse. The guards of Jianzhou only recognize talismans, not people. Therefore, as long as Bingzhou is captured and Han Li's tiger talisman is captured, both states will be in hand.

Besides, Han Lixin had a grandson and he was going to hold a baby shower banquet soon. It's better to take this opportunity and prepare a big gift for him. The first task is to sneak into the banquet. Li Ni found out that Han Li's house had hired a new wet nurse. This wet nurse had a direct sister-in-law, known as Mrs. Xu. She would set up a stall selling tofu and soy milk at fairs. She was cheerful and talkative. So, the two pretended to be a couple and went to talk to each other.

Cui Lin stuffed something into her belly, pretended to be a pregnant woman, and asked Li Yi to buy a piece of fine cloth. Just like that, the two of them sat down in front of Madam Xu's soy milk stall. Cui Lin first praised Madam Xu's craftsmanship, making her pay attention to herself. Madam Xu really noticed Cui Lin's belly and the fine cloth on the table, so she gave Cui Lin some advice as an experienced person. Cui Lin was sweet-tongued and clever. She quickly became close to Madam Xu and got a lot of information from her. Han Li's eldest grandson suffered from an illness a few days ago, and it seems that the illness has not yet fully recovered. Therefore, Han Mansion must invite a doctor to visit him in the near future. As it happens, Cui Lin knows some pharmacology.
