"Now?" Yan Qingchen frowned, looking at the dark night outside the window, his eyes were full of worry, but he didn't say anything more.

He is very good at judging the situation, and at this time, of course, he is also the person who understands my decision best.

But he was silent for a moment, and then said, "But you—"

I looked at him and smiled faintly, "I don't think you will stop me." ”

“……”

"Now, Pei Yuanxiu is already one step ahead of us, and if we don't take the first step at this time, it may be difficult for us to get back into this game. ”

“……”

He didn't answer my words, just lowered his head to look at his two unconscious legs, and after a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I just hate myself!"

"Light Dust ......"

My heart was sour, and I only said softly, "It's not your fault. ”

“……”

After saying that, I didn't know what else to say to comfort him, for a while, both of us were silent, and he had already taken a deep breath, restrained his anger and helplessness just now, and then looked up at me, and said, "If my sister is leaving, then it's better not to bring people with you." ”

I hurriedly said, "I understand, Su Su and Uncle Fearless, I will give orders." ”

"Hmm. ”

"You try to help me hide it, until the fifth uncle and Pei Yuanxiu come, it's best not to let people know that I'm gone...... Especially the old lady. ”

"I know what to do. ”

"One more thing," I hesitated, and said, "that Yin—"

Having said this, I still hesitated, and Yan Qingchen only heard a single word, as if he had an insight into it, his eyes flashed with essence, and he looked at me calmly. I thought about it for a while and said, "I know that everyone must not be able to take care of her now, but we must not let Pei Yuanxiu find her." ”

"I know, don't worry. ”

When he said this, I was really relieved, and then nodded: "Then I'll go." ”

As I spoke, I reached out to stand up on the edge of the bed, and when I turned around to walk outside, Yan Qingchen hurriedly stood up and grabbed my wrist: "Sister!"

I looked back at him.

In the dim candlelight, his face became even more pale and bloodless, probably because of this, his gaze at me also became a little more solemn, and he said: "Sometimes, to be kind to the other person is to be cruel to yourself. Sister, you have experienced the incident in Hongyan Building, you should know better than anyone else. ”

My face sank.

Glancing down at his immobile legs, I said softly, "I understand." ”

“……”

"I know what I have to do. ”

Yan Qingchen didn't speak, but looked at me deeply, and then let go of me, I turned around and walked out, and behind him, he immediately called the attendants outside to go in, and asked people to prepare for me immediately.

The night is still deep.

But in such a dark night, there is something that is secretly surging.

I found Su Su and told her my decision, and it was not easy to persuade her to stay, she was aggrieved, but in the face of my almost tough order, she could only promise me, and promised that at least until Pei Yuanxiu and they returned to Chengdu, they would help me create the illusion that I was still in the Yan family, and even the fearless monk had to lie.

She muttered, "He's so angry that he's going to screw my head off." ”

I laughed and said, "He's afraid I'll be angry, so I don't dare." ”

With that, I rubbed her hair, and turned to leave, she wanted to come and see me off, but I was afraid that the sky outside was about to start to get brighter, and I couldn't disturb more people, so I refused her, and only let her stay in the room obediently.

When I went out, Yan Qingchen's attendant was already waiting for me outside, and said softly: "Miss, the people and horses are ready, please come with me." ”

I nodded and followed him out.

As I rode not in a carriage, but at the main entrance, I followed the attendant and saw a tall horse, which was so black and shiny that it was almost impossible to distinguish in the night.

Paired with the dark clothes I had just changed into when I went back, it almost completely blended into the night.

The people who followed behind were the people sent by Yan Qingchen, not much, I took a look at it a little, but there were only about a dozen people.

The attendant said, "The head of the family said that in order not to attract attention, the people brought by the eldest lady will not move for the time being, these people are sent by the head of the family. ”

I nodded, Yan Qingchen did things, I was still relieved.

The squire helped me to my horse, and I took the reins, and felt that the horse was a little recognized, and shook my head uneasily, and as soon as I tightened the reins, I heard a very gentle voice beside me.

"Cousin. ”

As soon as I heard this voice, I didn't react, and the attendant immediately turned around nervously, and saw Yan Ruoyu standing at the door, the lantern under the eaves shining on her thin and fair face, still clasped in front of her with her hands clasped, looking slim.

The attendant didn't expect her to come back, and immediately frowned nervously.

I also frowned slightly: "Ruoyu, why are you here?"

She stepped forward with a smile, looked at the person behind me, and said, "Don't worry, cousin, no one saw it, I came here secretly." ”

“……”

"I'll also help my cousin hide it. ”

I was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "You, there's no need to do this. ”

She smiled: "My cousin can not form an alliance with me, but my sincerity is still there." ”

“……”

"We can still win together. ”

“……”

I glanced at her, and my mood was a little complicated at this moment, and after a while, I slowly said: "You have to understand, what you want to win is actually much more difficult than what I want to win." ”

“……”

"Sometimes, the outcome of a war is easy to decide, but it is much harder to change a mindset in people's minds than to win a war. ”

She smiled and said, "I think it's more difficult for my cousin to face this matter. ”

"Really?"

"That's right. My cousins don't take it lightly, and neither will I. ”

“……”

I knew that such a woman, such a heart, could not be easily reversed, just as she wanted to change the mind in everyone's hearts, so I sighed and said, "Well, what you decided, I know is difficult to change. If you want to do it, just do it. ”

She smiled and nodded.

I also nodded to her, at this time the horse under the seat has slowly tame, I looked back at her again, saw her standing there, waved her hand at me gently, I clamped the horse's belly, the horse rushed out like an arrow off the string, and those guards immediately followed, and soon left them, leaving the Yan family far behind.

|

Time passed quickly in my constant gallop, and the sky slowly brightened.

The last bit of cold of the night was blowing in my face with the constant wind, which soon blew my hair messy and my face almost cold and numb.

My riding skills were practiced in order to go to Longnan and Wuwei to move the rescue soldiers, I haven't ridden a horse for so long, but it's okay, it's not completely rusty, but I've been bumping on the back of the horse for a long time, and I still feel back pain, but the time is urgent, until we get out of Chengdu City, we didn't stop.

The Yan ancestral hall, in Wolong Town, about 200 miles southwest of Chengdu City, is the place where the Yan family arose, I only went there when I was very young, and now, I have almost no impression of it.

Only vague shadows of memory remain.

After all, girls are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and the sacrifices are also men's business, and even if my mother and father are not separated, and I have not left Xichuan, I will not be too familiar with it.

Fortunately, there are also people sent by Yan Qingchen, their riding skills are very exquisite, and they are tightly guarding my surroundings.

After a long day of galloping, and in the afternoon we had passed a very rough mountain road, and at last we saw a flat area ahead, and one of the guards came up to me and pointed ahead for me to see, and I saw the village behind the green woods.

He said, "Miss, that's it." ”

I looked at the village, and there was some overlap with the vague shadow in my memory, and I tightened my grip on the reins, turned back to them, and said, "Very well, let's speed up our journey and get there before dark." ”

They nodded, and rushed down the hillside with me, but just as they were going down, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves beside them, and the smoke and dust dispersed, and when I looked closely, the two people we sent to explore the road rushed up at a gallop, until they ran in front of me, and hurriedly said: "Miss, there is an ambush near us!"

"What?"

I was shocked: "Who?"

"It seems that it should be the person sent by Pei Yuanxiu, there is one, I have shown up in Chengdu before, and I haven't seen it later, I didn't expect it to be here. ”

The people around Pei Yuanxiu?

A thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately understood-Pei Yuanxiu is not stupid, he may have realized that if I knew that he would go to the ancestral hall to pick up Yan Gang halfway, he would have gone to the ancestral hall in advance to prepare, so he had already set up an obstacle here to stop me!

He's really not easy to deal with!

At this moment, my heart also became heavy, but immediately, I took a deep breath, looked up and said to them, "Don't worry so much, rush over first." ”

"Yes!"

They answered in unison, and without my command, some of them had already taken their weapons, and with a wave of my hand, they galloped forward with me.

Just as we were speeding forward for about three or four miles, I noticed puffs of smoke and dust rising on both sides of the road.

It's someone, running with us.

And, judging by the smoke and dust, they were getting closer and closer to us, and without saying a word, I plunged them headlong into the thick pine forest ahead.

Here, it became a battlefield for hunting and hunting.

Soon, I saw through the gap in the woods the people who had been chasing us, and I saw at a glance that the leader was the one who had fought with us in the Bodhisattva Temple of the Sacrifice Cliff a few days ago!

As soon as I saw him, I felt a cold sweat break out all over my body, and I immediately waved the whip in my hand fiercely, and the whip whined in the air, forcing the horse under the seat to gallop harder and harder. The wind kept whistling in my ears, and at this moment, I could already see some cold light flickering in the woods out of the corner of my eye.

It's those people who have already set up their arrows and faced us!
