CHAPTER XXXIX

"This matter can only be handed over to Wuyan, then Xiao Qin can't enter Beijing. Wu Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this: "The national teacher has great powers, and since the national teacher has responded to this matter, then the king has nothing to worry about!"

Wu Yan hooked the corners of his lips again, looked at Xiao Rui, who was still looking down at his nose and nose, and didn't say anything more, then got up and said goodbye.

Xiao Zhan got the promise of Wuyan, he was in a very good mood, and he also got up, and together with Xiao Rui, he personally sent Wuyan out of the house.

At this time, the night was thick outside, and the banquet went out of the palace, but he didn't bring an entourage, and he was not in a hurry to go back to his mansion, so he turned left and right in the alleys of Beijing, and after a while, he turned to a small courtyard door, and pushed it casually, and the courtyard door was pushed open. Wu Yan looked around, and then flashed through the door.

After entering the courtyard, I entered the house all the way without a meal, only to see that the room was dark, and only a candle on the table was like a bean, beating slightly.

"Coming?" Suddenly a clear, warm voice came from the darkness, and if it weren't for this voice, no one would have noticed that there was a person sitting in the corner.

I saw that the man's whole body was wrapped in a dark black cloak, and the brim of the hat hung down, blocking the light, and the man's face was almost invisible, only a sharp chin and thin lips were exposed, which opened and closed with the man's voice.

After a pause, he responded, "Your Excellency." The attitude was respectful and respectful, and there was no arrogance and carelessness in the palace.

The man in the cloak nodded, his hood dangling, but he covered his face again, making it impossible to see clearly.

"How is the sacrifice prepared?" the man asked again.

"It's ready, just wait for your dignity to come up. Wu Yan replied, and as he spoke, he pondered for a moment, as if pondering how to speak.

Seeing Wuyan's hesitant expression, the man asked again, "What else is the matter?"

Hearing him ask, Wu Yan didn't dare to hide it, and then respectfully told the news he had just heard in the palace.

Hearing this, the man nodded, and said, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. If your guess is correct, I'm afraid that person is not something you can handle. ”

Wu Yan also nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Then ...... matter to your Excellency?"

The man waved his hand: "Don't meddle in this matter, that person is not something you can deal with." I have my own plans for this. He thought for a moment, and then said, "The matter of the animal sacrifice has also been postponed for a few days, and since that person has also been involved, it is better to stay a few more days, and when the matter is cleared up, it will be settled together." ”

The man waved his hand back down. There was no more to report than a feast, so he took his leave and left.

After Wu Yan was gone, the man was still sitting in the corner, motionless. He pondered for a moment, then got up, took a piece of rune paper from his bosom, folded it a few times, and threw it away, and the rune paper only flashed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

After a while, a figure in the room gradually took shape.

"Your Excellency. The man saluted and raised his head.

I saw that the person who came was a young man, but his appearance was extremely handsome, his eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were charming, he was dressed in white and was dressed in snow, his body was slender and slender, and his demeanor was even more outstanding in his actions.

The man wrapped in the cloak still just nodded and called, "Bai Zhi." ”

The man who was called Bai Zhi bowed slightly, waiting for the other party to continue.

The man was still wrapped in a cloak, his face and expression were not revealed, and his voice was still faint and ordered: "You go and intercept a man for me, and bring me the child beside him." ”

Bai Zhi arched his hand: "Yes, Your Excellency." ”

－

Xiao Qin and his party went all the way to the east. There were some troubles along the way, but with the help of Chu Huan and others, he was no longer afraid of those assassins.

As soon as Lin Mu saw that Chu Huan and the people he brought were all good, and they were all extremely sophisticated, after they came, Ah Luan's pressure dropped sharply, and even the things he did all the way were shared. Lin Muyi even had time to be lazy, only riding a horse with Shi'er, and a group of people fell from afar, even when he stopped to rest, he only took Shi'er to eat some dry food from afar, and he didn't want to get close to them.

Xiao Qin was afraid that Lin Muyi would regret it, and secretly ran away and didn't care about him, so although he was sitting in Chu Huan's arms, he couldn't help but keep looking back at Lin Muyi and Shi'er, which made Chu Huan look at him strangely. Xiao Qin was afraid that Chu Huan would be too careful, so he didn't dare to look at it more. Although Lin Muyi was far away from them, he had always followed the team and never left, so Xiao Qin was a little relieved.

Lin Muyi hung far behind, and when he saw that Shi'er always looked forward, he snorted coldly, and teased him evilly: "You little pervert, your sister Qing'er usually treats you with affection, and when she saw his brother Chu Huan, didn't she also throw you aside?"

I didn't want to pick up the child, but said seriously: "That's natural, Sister Qing'er and Brother Chu Huan have known each other since childhood, and their feelings are naturally unusual." Just like me and a real person, if I am with a real person, I don't care about Sister Qing'er. ”

He didn't hesitate to say this, but Lin Muyi was uncomfortable, slapped Shi'er's head hard, and scolded in disguise: "Stay away from that little cub in the future, what kind of bastard thing do you learn?"

Shi'er was inexplicably beaten, and he didn't dare to defend himself, so he had to be wronged. Lin Muyi was still awkward in his heart, and he didn't mention this stubble anymore, but only drove the horse not far away and continued to follow the team.

Along the way, I never encountered an Assassin again. Xiao Qin muttered secretly in his heart, with his uncle's temperament, he would not give up on this, I am afraid that he has already made some arrangements, and he doesn't know what dangers are waiting for them in front of him.

It's just that they hurried all the way all the way, sleeping in the open air, and after seven or eight days, their group was nothing, but Xiao Qin's mother and her two maids couldn't stand it anymore.

Xiao Qin looked at his mother's somewhat yellowed complexion, and he was also a little worried. His mother was originally from a beautiful background, and she was used to a good life of fine clothes and food, even if she was exiled overseas, she never suffered anything. Running around like this now is something she has never experienced, although she didn't say anything on the surface, she only gritted her teeth and insisted, but Xiao Qin knew that his mother couldn't stand such pain at all.

Xiao Qin was afraid that he would toss like this for a few more days, and before he arrived in Lanchuan, his mother would fall ill.

Thinking like this, after summing up with Ah Luan and Chu Huan, Xiao Qin finally decided to take a break while he was some distance away from the capital.

After a few people had made up their minds, they were not in a hurry to leave, and finally found a farmhouse when it was getting dark and about to enter the mountain.

This farmer is a family of five, the husband and wife have a son and a daughter, and an elderly mother. At first, the family saw such a group of more than 20 horsemen, many of whom were sturdy men, armed with swords, and a little frightened, but when they turned back and saw that there were women and children in this group, they relaxed and warmly beckoned everyone into the courtyard.

Hearing that everyone was going to spend the night, the two of them agreed, and they were stuffed into Chu Huan's hand with a piece of silver ingot, and they smiled even more. Although they are quite far away from the official road, there are occasionally merchants and pedestrians passing by who want to take the small road nearby, and if it is getting late, they come to beg for a bowl of water, beg for food, or spend the night. The countrymen were simple and welcoming, and they were all happily entertained. It's just that such a team of dozens of people has never been seen before.

In front of him, the young master was generous again, and directly threw a silver ingot over, but the farmer was a little flattered. After a few excuses, he had to accept it, and then greeted everyone warmly. The people in the mountains are very hospitable, and they have received such a large sum of money from others, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guests, they slaughtered a few chickens that were free-range at home, and Zhang Luo made dinner for a large group of people, and at the same time vacated the house, preparing to let the guests live in this house, and their own family will be in the yard.

Chu Huan's extremely upright temperament must be unwilling, so he finally persuaded the family to go back, but the couple still insisted, and in the end they had to squeeze a room for a family of five and vacate two bedrooms, Xiao Qin's mother and Xiao Qin, Lin Muyi took a pick-up room, and the rest of the people worked on the floor in the yard.

After such a toss, when everyone is full of food and drink, ready to rest, the moon has reached the middle of the sky.

When everyone had settled down, and they were all about to fall asleep after being exhausted from the journey these days, they suddenly heard a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The night in the mountains is extremely quiet. In the silence of the night, the aggressive knock on the door was even more abrupt.

Everyone was a little nervous for a while.

Didn't the pursuers chase after him again?

Chu Huan and Ah Luan glanced at each other, their faces solemn. Everyone in the courtyard also pressed their hands on their waist knives and made a vigilant gesture.

Only Lin Muyi secretly frowned.

For a while, no one spoke, and the people outside the hospital waited for a moment without seeing a response, and knocked twice.

"It's coming, it's coming!" the peasant finally ran out with his clothes on, and as he answered the door with a loud voice, he ran in a panic, not even bothering to put on his shoes.

The farmer ran to the door and asked, "Who?"

I only heard the voice of Qingyue outside the door: "Xiaosheng passed by here, missed the accommodation, I don't know if I can spend the night?" The voice is polite, listening to it is as gentle as a clear stream, and as clear as the bright moon, just listening to the sound makes people feel close.

The peasant looked at the crowded people standing in the courtyard, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he opened the door anyway.

I saw a famous boy in white standing outside the door, carrying a book basket on his back, dressed as a scholar, and when he saw the door open, a smile bloomed on his handsome face: "I don't know if I can let Xiaosheng stay overnight?"
