Bu Fan first smeared and found the money hiding place, took out a few small bricks, touched inside, and thankfully, the money bag was still there. When he touched it again, the silver was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief, neatly put it in his pocket, and then went to the room to pack up the clothes of the two.

Both of their clothes were in a closet, so it was easy to pack. After cleaning up, he wrapped it in a large cloth bag, went to the kitchen to fill the five steamed buns left in the cupboard, and then slung the duffel bag over his shoulder and left.

The mulberry hemp he worked so hard to grow, it's a pity. The hut he built with his own hands, it's a pity. But if compared to the lives of the two, this is nothing, so although he is reluctant in his heart, he has never had the slightest nostalgia in his actions.

Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood.

As soon as he got out of the house, he immediately rushed to the cave where Jing'er was from another road behind the house.

Jing'er, who was sitting in the stone cave and waiting, was so hungry that she was dizzy, she was about to be unable to hold on, and she was worried about Bu Fan in her heart, so every quarter of an hour was as difficult as a day.

She didn't care if she was hungry, but the little life in her stomach was absolutely hungry, so she had to touch her stomach over and over again and said softly: "Good girl, today's situation is quite special, I can't fill your hunger all at once, you hold on for a while, it won't be long before your father should come." ”

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the movement, and she was immediately overjoyed, dragging her already weak legs and groping in the direction of the entrance of the cave.

After walking a short distance, he was hugged by Bu Fan who walked in, Jing'er was happy and emotional for a while, and he shed tears when he hugged him.

"You're back. She said, rubbing her face against his shoulder, and the tears flowed even harder.

After a long day of anxious waiting, she felt that as long as she was with him, nothing else mattered.

Bu Fan also knew that she was waiting anxiously, so she couldn't help but coax her warmly, and took out the steamed buns to feed her personally, so that she slowly stopped crying.

He also ate a steamed bun himself, and he was reluctant to eat the rest, so he left it all to her.

This night, the two of them hugged each other and slept in this cave.

Because of the other party's presence and the clothes on their bodies, the two of them didn't feel cold.

Bufan woke up before dawn, so he woke up Jing'er, and the two of them cleaned up a little and left the cave.

It was dark and hazy outside, and Bu Fan took Jing'er's hand and cautiously walked west, preparing to find a more remote place to live.

.....................

In the early morning of April 4, Xiao Diyuan took Ding Cong and two followers out of the city of Shuguo and marched towards Zhaoguo.

At this time, the staff in charge of guarding the city pass were his people, so the exit of his party and his party would not be recorded on the registration form of the people entering and exiting.

A few days ago, he applied to Xiao Hong for a very clever reason to take a 15-day leave, and went to Zhaoguo to meet the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo and Jiang Yuetang secretly at the agreed time.

Xiao Diyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, wore a low-brimmed hat, so although he was not disguised, it was not easy for people to see his true face. He sat upright with his eyes closed, looking like an old monk in a settled position.

The weather in April was already a little hot, and when the sun rose, Xiao Diyuan's face and body were sweating, he took out a small towel from his pocket and wiped his face, and then gently lifted the curtain to look out.

But I saw that the surrounding mountains were lined with peaks and clouds, and the sun shone down from the clouds, wisps of light, dazzling and holy.

The light fell on Xiao Diyuan's face and body, making his already handsome face even more heroic.

"This place seems to be called Yunshan Pass, right?" Xiao Diyuan asked Ding Cong, who was riding a horse to protect the side of the car.

Ding Cong hurriedly opened the map to see, and found that it was, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Back to the master, exactly." ”

When he was in another country, he did not dare to call him Second Highness, so as not to expose his identity.

"This place is so nice!" Xiao Diyuan said sincerely.

If he were just an ordinary person, he might choose to be a hermit in such a quiet and empty place, caressing the piano, reading books, painting, and drinking every day.

He smiled and lowered the curtain.

Slowly, he fell asleep, and had a terrible dream, and when he woke up from the nightmare, it was almost noon, the sun was blazing, and he felt a chill on his body unconsciously.

He shook his head, trying to shake off the dream, but he didn't, and he was a little upset.

"Where?" he asked Ding Cong.

Ding Cong was looking at Daqing Mountain in the distance, and after listening to his master's question, he approached and replied, "Go back to your master, and you're at the foot of Daqing Mountain." ”

Xiao Diyuan's whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted to stop.

The coachman immediately stopped the carriage.

Xiao Diyuan got out of the carriage and looked at Daqing Mountain not far away.

With a plop, Da Hei (the black cat that Xiao Diyuan picked up during his inspection in the northwest last year) also jumped out of the carriage and walked to Xiao Diyuan's feet.

Now, the royal mountain villa on Daqing Mountain was covered by dense woods, and there was nothing to see from Xiao Diyuan's location, but Xiao Diyuan could easily see its exact location as if he had been guided by some kind of guidance.

He had a sense of déjà vu in that place.

He looked there, feeling inexplicably sad and painful, as if he had experienced a nightmare.

He closed his eyes, and an illusion slowly appeared in his mind, as if he had unfolded his past and present lives.

Pain suddenly came over him, causing his body to shake.

"Is the master uncomfortable?" Ding Cong hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The dizziness became more and more intense, Xiao Diyuan supported his head with one hand and waved his hand at him with the other, turned back to the carriage, and said, "Let's go." ”

Da Hei also slipped into the carriage and obediently snuggled up to Xiao Diyuan's lap.

Xiao Diyuan was thinking about his heart while helping it smooth his hair, his expression looked tragic and mournful, Da Hei was quite human, seeing that the master was not in a good mood, he raised his head and arched the master's neck and chin with his nose, and wagged his tail and whined a few times, as if to say, "Don't be sad, master." ”

Xiao Diyuan was touched by his well-behaved and considerate, touched its fur and said, "I'm fine, thank you!"

Late at night on April 9, Xiao Diyuan and his entourage arrived in the capital of Zhaoguo, and stayed at an inn called "Joy Lai" according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo.

He and the Empress Dowager Zhaoguo agreed to meet at Liuying Villa, not far from the Joy Inn, at two o'clock (15:30) tomorrow afternoon.

The villa is owned by a relative of the Queen Mother, so as long as the Queen Mother speaks, it can be arranged in advance as required, and it is kept absolutely confidential.

Xiao Diyuan lived in the top room on the top floor of the Joy Inn, from which he could see most of the palace.

After dinner, Xiao Diyuan stood in the corridor of the guest room and looked down at the palace not far away.

Dear friends, a watch is coming.
