Teruhaku nodded, "That's fine." “

Ning Yi glanced at him and said, "But since I promised to let him go once, I can't even let him live for an extra hour." If you chase him after an hour, I won't ask if he lives or dies. ”

"Good. Teruhaku agreed.

Ning Yi felt that he had done his duty to Li Heng and planned to leave, but he heard Zhaobai say behind him: "I forgot to ask you, have you found your brother?"

Ning Yi suddenly turned around when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Bai coldly: "What do you mean?"

Zhaobai was stunned, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean anything else, just ask." ”

Ning Yi's expression was softened, and he snorted coldly: "As a killer, it's better for you not to ask about other people's whereabouts casually." If it was Zhao Sanye who asked you to ask, please help me thank him, but I won't bother you!"

Zhaobai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all, just sighed slightly and watched Ning Yi walk away.

After Li Heng and Ning Yi separated, he began to think about where he should go, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Donglin to join his brother, this world was too difficult, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save his little life.

As for how to get to Donglin, Li Heng didn't think about it so much, and then he would talk about it, anyway, he could always get there with his ability.

However, before leaving, Li Heng planned to take a look at his little brother Xiao Mu, no matter how he said it, he also followed him, and now he was about to run away in a big disaster, and the back road of the little brother had to be arranged!

Xiao Mu has been living in the plum garden for the past few years, because the emperor sent a lot of people to monitor Li Heng, the two can only see him when they go to Mr. to study, and in the past year or two, Mr. is not in good health, so they go even less, so the two of them have not seen each other for a long time.

Li Heng planned to come to see Xiao Mu secretly and see if he could get out of the plum garden by the way, he was afraid that he would drag down Mama Chun and them, so he didn't plan to alarm the other people in the garden.

It was getting late, Li Heng climbed over the wall through a tree with lush foliage outside the back door and entered the garden, and familiarly touched the stunning pavilion where the small wood lived.

The study room of the Surprise Pavilion was still lit, Li Heng quietly leaned under the window to take a look, but found that there was no one in the study, he felt a little strange, so he tiptoed in, not wanting to smash an inkstone at his head just after stepping on the threshold.

"Oops!" The person who smashed the inkstone couldn't get his head right, and Li Heng's head escaped, but his shoulder was still rubbed by the corner of the whistling inkstone.

"Huh, Brother Heng?" The young man hiding behind the desk heard the voice of the comer, and immediately ran over!

"Brother is kind enough to come to see you, this is how you greeted you?" Li Heng rubbed his shoulders and whispered angrily.

"I'm sorry, Brother Heng! I thought he was a thief. Did it hit you on the shoulder? Is it serious? I'll call someone to show you. Xiao Mu looked at Li Heng worriedly.

"Forget it, it's not too painful, just rub it. I'm a fugitive now, and I can't see anyone. Come and see you, you're about to leave!" Li Heng waved his hand, glanced at Xiao Mu, and felt a little relieved.

The ten-year-old little wood has grown to the height of Li Heng's shoulders, the young man's face is beautiful, and at a young age, he has a quiet and dignified bookish atmosphere that a scholar has, and his dark and pure eyes seem to have the power to soothe people's hearts when they look at people.

"Brother Heng, I've heard about you. Xiao Mu looked at Li Heng worriedly, "Where are you going?"

"Even have you heard of it, it seems that Lao Tzu's face is about to be lost!" Li Heng rolled his eyes, walked to the table and sat down, he poured himself a cup of warm tea, drank it with a clatter, wiped his mouth, "I'm dying of thirst! I'm going to go to Donglin to find my brother." ”

Xiao Mu sat down next to him and refilled him with another cup of tea, "Are you going alone?"

"Lao Tzu is a fugitive now, where can I go to find a companion with me! Let me go!" Li Heng thought of the long road ahead, and he was a little listless.

Xiao Mu thought for a while, and said to him seriously: "I'll go with you!"

Li Heng immediately refused, "Brother is going to run for his life, not to play, I can't take you there." ”

"Brother Heng, it's so far to the east, do you know the way?" Xiao Mu blinked and asked.

Li Heng rolled his eyes, "Brother doesn't know the road, do you know?"

I didn't want Xiao Mu but nodded, "I know!"

Li Heng's face was full of disbelief.

Xiao Mutou explained seriously: "After Sister He went to Donglin, I wanted to know where Donglin was, and then I borrowed a map from my husband to see, and I also found several ways to go from the capital to Donglin. So Brother Heng, if you take me, you won't get lost!"

Li Heng hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "I can't take you away, someone wants to arrest me, it's dangerous." ”

Xiao Mutou had a hurt expression on his face, "Are you afraid that I will drag you down?" I don't know martial arts, and I can't run fast......

Li Heng couldn't see him like this anymore, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm afraid that you will suffer with me!"

Xiao Mutou sighed when he heard this, and his eyes showed a bit of sadness that did not match his age, "But Brother Heng, I won't live here if you leave." Mama Chun is old, and I heard her mention a few days ago that she wanted to go to the imperial tomb to accompany the princess. Sister Gu Yu said last year that she was about to get married. The prince will not return to Beijing for a short time if he stays in Donglin, and now even you are leaving, I stayed in Meiyuan because of your take-in, you are gone, and I can't live anymore. Brother Heng, you know that I have no relatives in the capital, and in my heart you are my own brother...... So, can't you really take me with you?"

Li Heng's eyes were red at Xiao Mutou's words, and he nodded impulsively: "Then, then I'll take you with me, as long as I'm here, you're not a helpless little cabbage." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mutou immediately gave Li Heng a smile back, the corners of his crooked mouth and shining eyes made him look very cute, "That's great!

Li Heng felt that something was wrong, but when he saw Xiao Mu so happy, he still let go of the doubts in his heart.

It's not the first time that Xiao Mu has planned to escape, although he has lived in the plum garden and been sheltered by the Jin Palace, but deep down he still has a sense of crisis all the time, he knows that maybe one day in the future his identity will be exposed, so he puts himself in a state where he can escape at any time.

It's just that Xiao Mu didn't expect that he didn't use the emergency plan that he had demonstrated countless times in his heart, but because Li Heng wanted to use it.

Xiao Mutou made up his mind to accompany Li Heng not because he was worried that he had no one to rely on in the capital as he told Li Heng, but because he knew very well that with his confused personality as a senior brother, it was almost impossible for him to arrive in Donglin safely by himself.

Xiao Mu didn't know how dangerous this road was? He was smart since he was a child, and as a senior disciple of Mr. Qiu, he could understand some things better than Li Heng.

But he couldn't let Li Heng leave alone. He thought that even if the road ahead was difficult, he would not be able to accompany his senior brother to Donglin in the end, but at least senior brother was not alone.
