As night fell, the long dark street outside fell into complete silence. Only one or two dog barks faintly heard in the distance, and the shopkeeper downstairs yawned a few times, and finally sent the three drunken guest officers away, and closed the door.

On the second floor, a faint candle flame was still lit in a room on the south side.

"Draw down the path you have traveled today."

Gao Xun ordered the table, Bai Sang stood aside, half-hung his face, obediently took out his pen and ink from his baggage, spread it on the wooden table by the window, and drew the terrain and mountains he saw along the way.

A few days ago, their group set out from Qianjiao Mountain, headed south, and entered the territory of Yizhou. The terrain of Yizhou is complicated, Gao Xun took her to drive a horse, all the way without taking the avenue, around several lofty mountains and mountains, mountains and ravines, circling for many days, before finally arriving at this small county.

And every night when she rested, Gao Xun would ask her to draw a summary of the place she had passed through today. She only did it quietly, and naturally she wouldn't ask about Gao Quire's intentions.

After saying today, Gao Xun turned around and went behind the screen. Standing alone in front of the table, his slender fingertips grasped it, dotted the ink, and gently landed on the snow-white paper.

There is a half-open window on the side, the moon outside the window is like a hook, the summer insects are crisp, but the cold street is silent, which inexplicably adds a bit of desolation to this summer night.

When she finished the drawing, she saw that Gao Xun had come out from behind the screen at some point, his eyes were deep, and he stared at her for a long time with an uncertain expression.

The two stood across the table, and Bai Sang met her eyes, and immediately turned his head. Gao Xun's eyes sank, and he stepped forward to pick up the picture she had drawn and looked at it.

Bai Sang stood aside, looking at her as if she was very focused. The person in front of him has taken off his coat, only wearing a middle coat, with long hair scattered, and his warm cheeks are so soft under the candlelight, he looks like a real girl.

Bai Sang's gaze stayed for a long time, and his cold pupils gradually became a layer of water, how long had it been since he had looked at the person in front of him like this?

It wasn't until the person next to her suddenly raised her head that she came back to her senses and subconsciously took a step back.

Gao Xun squinted, leaned down without warning, suddenly grabbed her lips, and before the person in front of her could resist, he pried open her teeth, stirring the tip of his slightly cool tongue vigorously.

Bai Sang was forced to tilt his head, his eyes half-closed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hands were pressed in front of him, almost feeling like he was about to lose his breath.

The palm of the person in front of him gradually caressed the slender waist, dyeing the cold skin with a layer of warmth. When he seemed to be emotional, he suddenly let go of her, his eyes were clear in an instant, and his tone was extremely indifferent: "Touch you, I'm afraid of dirty my hands." ”

Really......

Even listening to her cynicism every day, Bai Sang breathed lightly, and his heart still seemed to be pierced by something, overflowing with pain.

"You go out and keep a vigil."

Gao Xun turned around and gave an order, Bai Sang pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, obediently left the room, and stood alone at the door all night.

On the second day, at dawn, the continuous rooster crow from the neighboring village woke up the entire Shangjun County. In a seemingly deserted courtyard at the end of the street, a middle-aged man was waiting anxiously.

"Squeak-"

The door of the courtyard opened lightly, and the man stared straight at the person who entered the courtyard, and when he saw the appearance clearly, he stepped forward in surprise a few steps: "Yan'er!" ”

"Daddy......"

Song Yuyan's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if she had finally dropped a heart, looking at the person in front of her and muttering in a low voice.

"When my father received the letter, he couldn't believe it, it was really you and my daughter! Where have you been these days? ”

Song Yuyan wiped the corners of her eyes, didn't answer, and asked in a lower voice, "Dad, mother, is she here too?" Are you all okay? ”

"Hey," Song Lian shook his head, his depressed appearance seemed to be indescribable, and he said in a low voice: "Yan'er, go back to Beijing with your father." ”

Song Yuyan raised her head with a little doubt: "Dad, you're not...... I have made a county ...... in this upper county."

Song Lian's face sank when he heard this.

After the recovery of the Yuan Kingdom, the Emperor Wuwei Chitian was far away, so he naturally could not personally control political affairs, so he handed over the power of the vassal country to Qin Li. After Qin Li ascended the throne, Uweichi sent many Xiongnu ministers from the Khanate, and almost changed the former ministers of the Yuan State.

After that, he only sent people to Hanchuan every ten years to collect taxes and tribute from the vassal states, and sit back and enjoy the results. Qin Li was born as a military general, and he has never learned any way to govern the country, since he ascended the throne, he has only cared about his own profligacy and profligacy, and the imperial city hall burned down that day, and it needs to be repaired. The treasury is now empty, and it is unable to make ends meet, so it will frequently increase taxes in a short period of time.

The Song family, which once covered the sky in the court, is now even more degraded and retreated.

"Yan'er, listen to your father." Song Lian sighed, stroked his daughter's hand, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the emperor may have taken a fancy to you early in the morning, he should send me, if he can find you and send you back to the palace to serve him, he will transfer me back to Yongzhou." ”

Song Yuyan raised her face when she heard this, and looked at him in disbelief: "Dad! ”

"Yan'er, when it was for the sake of your father and mother, for the sake of the Song Mansion, you were wronged and responded to your father, okay?"

Song Yuyan took a few steps back, shook her head, bit her lip, and big tears fell from her eyes: "Dad, I can't promise you." ”

"Yan'er! When did you become so disobedient! ”

"Dad, I ......"

Song Yuyan's eyes blurred, looking at her father's increasingly old appearance, her fingertips pinched the corners of her skirt, and her heart was full of pain.

If she was alone at this moment, she would not hesitate to sacrifice herself to enter the palace. But now...... She has more than one life tied to her.

Seeing that her daughter still refused to obey, Song Lian lowered her voice and threatened: "Yan'er, if you insist on going your own way again, don't blame your father for doing it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand, and several thugs came up from all around the courtyard, and tightly encircled the two in the middle.

Song Yuyan trembled in disbelief, and her eyes became more and more trance-like.

"Lord Song, can you really take her?"

Song Lian was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared on the tree, and shouted: "Who are you?!" ”

Gao Xun jumped down and landed beside Song Yuyan, the corners of his mouth curled, "I'm here to rob people." ”

As soon as the words fell, several thugs on the side surrounded him.

Gao Xun took a few steps back, and as soon as he raised his hand, several stones flew out. Straight towards them, suddenly, several people wailed to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she pulled up Song Yuyan and wanted to go out of the door.

"Beware!"

The person next to her let out a soft cry and fainted in her arms. Gao Xun held her, turned around and kicked the man who shook forward again, and saw that he fell straight on Song Lian again, and escaped from the courtyard gate with his feet.

"Childe, get in the car!"

Gao Xun hugged Song Yuyan and jumped into the carriage waiting outside the door a few steps, Ye Ziliang drove the car and tightened the reins, the carriage turned a corner, entered another alley, and disappeared at the end of the street.

When Song Lian got up and left the hospital with his subordinates to chase after him, there was no trace of him.

In the car, Gao Xun half-leaned Song Yuyan against the window.

"How are you looking at her?"

She glanced at Bai Sang and slowly tore off the mask on her face. I couldn't help frowning, I really didn't like to have this strange thing on my face.

Bai Sang raised her hand to put her hand on her slender wrist, her expression was still cold, but her snow-white fingertips trembled slightly, and she raised her head and bumped into Song Yuyan's eyes that had slowly opened.

The eyes were facing each other, as if they saw a few hints of pleading in their eyes.

"How?"

Bai Sang withdrew his hand, shook his head, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal." ”

"Really?"

Gao Xun half-narrowed his eyes, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes. But he turned his head and asked no more.
