It was an empty city, similar to the small city I had seen outside the White Mountain where the dead bodies were hidden in a cupboard. Stepping through the scorched earth and looking at the collapsed houses on both sides of the road, Xi Hao couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, he grabbed his lingering hand tightly, and the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

"It's not like it's plague-ridden. Lingering sensed his uneasiness, and reached out to hug his body: "Don't be afraid, it looks like there is no one anymore." ”

"yes, it's the same little town we came across. Xi Hao snuggled up to him and couldn't help but shiver. Lingering took off his coat and put it on his shoulders, grabbed his shoulders and said, "You wait here, I'll take a look around." After he finished speaking, he was about to walk away, but Xi Hao grabbed him, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Alright, let's walk over together. Lingering knew that he was timid, and he didn't care how much time would be delayed in such a search, so he only pulled the horse with one hand and protected him with the other.

It's not hard to see that this town also has its time when flowers bloom. The houses on the street are one after another, there are all kinds of shops, the people are gone, the things in those shops have not been cleaned up, and there are scattered things everywhere on the road, which makes people imagine everything that was chaotic at that time.

"Are you hungry or not. ”

Coming out of Lin'an, the two of them were anxious to verify, and they had hardly rested all the way, although Xi Hao's body was not weak, but after all, he lacked physical strength, because he was worried, so he ate less, and he lost weight in the past few days. Lingering looked distressed but helpless, now that the place has arrived, he is temporarily relieved, and wants to let Xi Hao take a rest.

"Hmm. Xi Hao nodded. Lingering raised his eyes and looked around, saw a big house on the other side of the street, then pointed and said, "That seems to be a good place to stay, get on the horse, let's go there and have a look." ”

took Xi Hao to beat the horse to the front, looked up, and read: "Mei Gexuan, it seems to be a restaurant." ”

The front door of the restaurant was empty, but there was a big stain on the threshold.

It's blood!

He subconsciously took Xi Hao to the side, and pulled him into the door while he was unprepared.

It looks like there's been a terrible fight.

In a small town, people say too much, and there are too many people to say less, and ordinary bandits simply don't have such a great ability to dare to kill people so blatantly, so the killers are either well-trained killers or government yamen who can mobilize troops.

What is it that is imperative that allows these people to be so ruthless that a town is gone?

His mind changed, but he couldn't tell Xi Hao what he thought. Lingering settled Xi Hao in front of a table, and walked towards the back hall.

In the kitchen in the back hall, rice, flour, grain and oil are neatly placed in one place, and everything is available. Lingering sighed, rolled up his cuffs and brought firewood to prepare to make something to eat. He went to call Xi Hao while he was busy, wanting him to sit by the stove to warm up, and after calling a few times, he realized that something was wrong.

Xi Hao answered him a few words at first, but then there was no sound, he was shocked, turned around and ran towards the lobby.

The table was empty, and there was still the shadow of Xi Hao. He rushed out of the gate with an arrow step, but saw a figure running out of the house opposite Mei Gexuan, but it was not Xi Hao, who else would it be.

Xi Hao was holding something in his hand, crying as he ran, and hugged him when he came to him.

"Flawless, it's flawless! lingering, where did Flawless and Bai Yan go!Where did they go!"

Confused, after pulling him away, he took the thing he was dragging and looked at it, and suddenly his scalp was cold, and his heart jumped suddenly.

It was the half corner of a picture scroll, although it was not complete, but the peach blossoms on the painting were lifelike, like a flawless handwriting.

"Flawless!!" Lingering let go of Xi Hao and ran desperately towards the house, and when he entered the door, he was stunned.

The layout of the house was obviously a private school, and the floor was full of scrolls, and there were scrolls hanging on the walls, and the handwriting on the scrolls clearly told him that it was indeed flawless!

"Flawless...... Flawless—" Linger frantically pushed open the closed doors, but there was nothing but emptiness inside, and the quicker he looked, the more disappointed he became. Xi Hao trembled behind him, and when he realized that the lingering was almost out of control, he stretched out his hands and hugged the lingering tightly from behind.

"Don't linger like this, I'm so scared if you're like this! Flawless must be fine, right, with Bai Yan here, how could he let Flawless have trouble, right!"

After trying to calm his anxiety, he loosened his clenched teeth, turned around, stroked Xi Hao's cheek, and said softly: "You're right, with Bai Yan here, how could something happen to Flawless." It's me who is in a hurry, don't worry, I'll take you to find them, one by one, I will definitely find them!"

The search lasted from dawn to dark. The white horse without a candle flame is quiet, and the insect chirping in early spring makes this silence infinitely expand, which is particularly strange. The more places you look for, the more desperate it becomes, not only Xi Hao, but also the lingering without confidence.

This is indeed an empty city, even if Bai Yan and Flawless once stayed here, they are no longer there.

His steps slowed down, his body and mind tired, and after crossing a path, he suddenly stopped.

Is that!

The silver glow of the moonlight shrouded the crimson peach grove like a layer of mist, and the wind blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers. There was a small building at the end of the peach forest, the sound of the stream murmuring in my ears, and the rotation of the waterwheel creaking.

Xi Hao's body stiffened obviously, and lingering knew that he had found it.

It was the life that Impeccable longed for, and that kind of dullness and tranquility was longing and hope for him. Now that everything has been realized, where are the others?

The red candles are opposite, reflecting every corner of the house. The neat words of joy are posted on the doors and windows, and all the costumes look festive. Two sets of bright red new clothes overlap and scatter on the head of the bed, and the ambiguous color evokes reverie.

"They, married......" Xi Hao covered his mouth and suppressed his sobs, looking at everything in the bamboo building.

Leaving aside the identities of the little marquis and Leng Gongzi, they are just two ordinary people, guarding each other in this small world, what they want is simpler than anyone else, but why did they end up like this!

"Lingering, my heart hurts...... What did they do wrong, and God would torture them like this! Why, why do good people always get good rewards? Tell me...... Tell me ......"

The uncontrollable crying was far away in the silent night. On the opposite hillside, a dark shadow stood silently. The hugging silhouette was reflected in the window lattice, making his dark eyes shrink even tighter.

"Young Master, shall we go?" Ling Feng asked softly.

Wu Feiyun didn't answer, just stared at the silhouette on the window lattice, hating to carve the man's shadow into his eyes. After a long time, he took a long breath and said, "Let's go." ”

"And they-"

Ling Feng hesitated.

I didn't expect that the person who waited and waited would actually be them! That Zong Xi Hao was a hurdle in the young master's heart that could never be overcome, and his longing for that person could not be hidden at all the moment he saw him today. I was really afraid that he would be as impulsive as before, but fortunately, he just watched silently, without any action.

"For Li Zongzhi, I have no use value. After Meng Baiyan goes back, no matter what the outcome is, Chengle's Hou Yefu will not be able to be saved, I know that Princess Baicha is not dead, she is in Chengle City, so we have to rush to Chengle before Li Zongzhi does anything to me. As soon as Chengle changed, we took Baicha and left there. ”

"Do you want to leave immediately?"

Wu Feiyun glanced back, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

That's the person he longed for, and he never thought he would love so much. In the past, he was desperate for power, but after dying once, he found that wealth and glory are just passing clouds, and what is really worth cherishing is the person who wants to stay with him for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that today's Wu Feiyun is no longer the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion who responds to every call, if he wants to live, he can't let his opponent retreat.

"Let's go. With a simple word, he left behind the longing in his heart and rushed towards the darker and darker road ahead.
