Chapter 230: Escape
"It is rumored that there was once a young girl who was locked up in a high tower, and she envied the lively and noisy life outside the tower, but the wizard in the tower forbade her to go outside the tower, so the maiden waited in the tower day after day, and her long hair fell down, day after day, over her slender shoulders, over her slender waist, over her white ankles, and down long, but no matter how many years passed, in spite of how long her hair was, she could never reach outside his tower, until ......" When Mu Ran said this, he paused, took a sip of tea, and still had a light look in his eyes.
It's just that Sena was in a hurry, for some reason, she just showed a strong curiosity about this story, so seeing Mu Ran suddenly paused, she couldn't wait to ask, "Until something happened?!, that girl, did she finally go out?" Senna was puzzled after all, she had never heard this story, but she didn't know why, it seemed to have a kind of magic, even if she was also surprised, it was just a short story, but it was so attractive to herself.
Mu Ran smiled lightly, and then continued to speak, "Until one day, a young general strayed into the world outside the tower, he stood under the tower, looking up at the attic at the top of the tower, suddenly from the window in the tower let go of the girl's long hair, so the young general slowly climbed up the tower with this long silky hair, and then, she saw the beautiful girl, and took her out of the tower. ”
Ever since Mu Ran and Sena had such a story, for some reason, Sena can always remember this story, even when she finally sneaked out of the palace and came to the lively street that she hadn't seen for a long time, Mu Ran's words still lingered in her mind, and Sai Xin was aware of Senna's distraction, and couldn't help frowning slightly, touching her elbow, and her words seemed to be a little annoyed. "Since you're out, why are you worried, do you want to go back now?"
Senna was touched by Sai Xin like this, and finally reacted and returned to reality, but looking at Sai Xin's dissatisfied look, she opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say, did she tell her that she was just unsettled because of a short story, or because of a person she had been looking forward to for a long time but had not come?!
Senna thought of this. Suddenly, I felt a little bitter in my mouth. And that feeling. But it slowly spread out from her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the city gate, how she wished that when the city gate was opened, the figure she missed could appear in the flying dust. Then he rode his horse and walked slowly towards her.
And just when Sena's gaze finally fell motionless at the city gate, Sai Xin's expression seemed to be a little strange, and the corners of her mouth outlined a hint of ill will, just thinking about what Kai Ku said, but at this time, Saina's eyes were suddenly attracted by something else, and Sai Xin was stunned for a moment, and looked at her gaze. But I saw an old woman in ragged clothes kneeling on the street, her face and body were completely dirty and terrible, even a pair of sunken eyes, which were extremely cloudy. And Senna looked at her with such a stunned expression, she still remembered that a long time ago, when they had not yet arrived in Pipa City, she had never seen such a woman, her life had always been rich and beautiful, why did she become like this now?!
She naturally remembered that when she came to Pipa City on the first day, she looked at it as far as she could see, and there were countless poor people kneeling or sitting on the street, and the dusk of Pipa City became more and more desolate, and after that, they were imprisoned in the towering palace, although what she saw and heard became noisy and prosperous, but there was still a faint desolation and sadness, Sena thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, took out some money from her arms, and put it in the bowl in front of the old woman。
And her actions immediately attracted the attention of all the poor people in the street, and one by one they gathered around, thin and dark, as if they had not eaten for many days. But Sai Xin was very disgusted with them, and couldn't help but blame Saina for being nosy, and didn't say much, just pulled up Saina, and quickly ran away, although Saina was still relieved, looking at the people behind her who were struggling in the whirlpool of poverty, there was a sympathetic look in her eyes, but Sai Xin pulled herself so tightly, she had no choice but to follow her away, and Sai Xin took Sena to run in the direction of the city gate of Pipa City, she smiled very happily," Sister, don't you want to see the outside of Pipa City, so let's go up to the city wall, and when the time comes, won't we be able to see what the outside is like?!"
Sena didn't expect Sai Xin to see her mind at once, at that moment, she used all her strength to nod her head, her heart was full of gratitude, even if she couldn't wait for him, it was on the city wall, looking at the horse's hooves in the distance, and the white waves rolling, that was good, at least there was still a thought left in her heart.
As soon as Senna thought of this, she settled down, and carefully avoided the guards guarding the city gate, and soon reached the high city wall, and found a hidden and well-seen position, but in such a dark night, Senna was disappointed, because what she saw was only pitch black, and the occasional sporadic lights were quickly extinguished, and the desert returned to silence, and she seemed to be deep in darkness, unable to move, and could not distinguish the direction, at that moment, her longing heart finally fell。
It's just that he hasn't calmed down his sad mood, but at this moment, the patrolling guards seem to have noticed these two unusual figures, and said sharply, "Who is standing?!"
Sena was startled, and soon, the city gate was in chaos, and the guards gathered around, just to catch these two people of unknown origin and unable to identify them, and Senna and Sai Xin fled in panic, and finally escaped from the city gate, and stopped in the silent alley, at this time the sky was already dark, and after an hour, the morning glow was full, and the dawn was about to erupt, if you don't go back at this time, I am afraid that it will be discovered.
As soon as Sena thought of this, she couldn't help but become anxious, tightened Saixin's hand, and was about to go back, but Saixin's eyes were still full of strange light, just looking at Senna's back coldly, a pair of gloomy eyes didn't know what she was thinking, and at this time, a few ill-intentioned figures suddenly came out of the night, blocking the way of the two in the narrow alley. Sena's face was pale, I didn't know what they were trying to do, but under the dirty face, in the withered yellow eyes, there was a greedy and dirty gaze, Senna took a few steps back, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, and she was more worried, but Sai Xin, who was still standing behind her, protected her without thinking, and stared at several figures in front of her indifferently with a pair of eyes.
Her kung fu is not bad, there are only a few minions standing in front of her, Senna thought, a few of them, maybe not in her own words, however, when she was still thinking like this, the scene in front of her suddenly became blurred, her legs trembled, and her brain was chaotic, she supported herself, trying hard not to let herself fall, but she still only felt more and more dizzy, finally, Senna still couldn't support her body, and fell down all of a sudden, and she naturally didn't see it, Saixin, who had been protected by herself, showed a deep smile at this moment, but it was just a flash, and it disappeared quickly, because in her eyes, Li Xiu suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, his face was expressionless, and the words he said were more like ice edges, and he stabbed Sai Xin's chest fiercely, "Two girls, the king asks the girls to go back!"
Sai Xin's expression suddenly became stiff, she really didn't expect that Li Xiu would appear in front of her forehead like this, which caught her off guard, and after her expression was slightly stunned, Sai Xin's eyes showed a sense of fear, and she couldn't help screaming, "Help! Li Xiu, help me!"
A few people, for Li Xiu, naturally no longer talked.
And when he hugged Sena horizontally, Sai Xin's eyes unconsciously showed a little jealousy, and when the two finally returned to the palace, as expected, both of them were punished to kneel on the cloister of the palace, the gray sun shrouded them, the dust in the air was blowing with the wind, Senna and Sai Xin both lowered their heads, looking like they were wrong, but in the shadows that others could not see, Sai Xin pouted, and there was still a glimmer of resentment in her eyes.
"Princess Saixin fled without permission, and the king's order was to punish her with a hundred rods and face the wall for three days. When Li Xiu finished saying these words with an expressionless face, Sena's eyes widened in disbelief, it was clear that she was also out, how could she not be punished?! She and Sai Xin glanced at each other, but Sai Xin still smiled faintly, as if she didn't care.
Sai Xin was quickly dragged away, and Sai Na finally raised her head slightly, looking at Sai Xin's back, Sai Xin did not resist, and she naturally did not see it, when Sai Xin looked at Li Xiu beside her, her eyes were completely in deep gloom, and she was completely gritting her teeth.
It's just that Li Xiu just walked silently, without glancing at Sai Xin beside him.
