Xue Ya and Xie Tangchen didn't dare to stop at all along the way, for fear that the emperor would suddenly change his mind and close the city gate, so they held hands and panted through the north gate of Luoyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info [full text reading] The soldiers defending the city saw the two of them, because the snow cloaks wrapped their bodies tightly, and the hoods were pressed very low, the soldiers who defended the city did not notice anything unusual, and they went out of the city smoothly.

Out of the city, they ran for half a mile in a row, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the blue-black tower, like a cold, bloodthirsty giant staring at them without emotion. Xue Ya looked at it, as if she smelled Zhao Yuan's cold smell, she couldn't help but shiver, she didn't care about Xie Tangchen and herself still running unevenly, and immediately said: "Hurry, go quickly, they are not allowed to chase after them in a while!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a dull bell from Luoyang City, one after another, as if it was from the direction of Hanyang Palace.

Xue Ya stopped, she frowned, carefully counted the bells, and struck a total of nine times. "The queen is gone." Xue Ya muttered, she slowed down, and the expression on her face couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried.

Xie Tangchen patted her lightly on the shoulder: "The queen is gone, the emperor will definitely focus on dealing with the aftermath, and he will not chase after you." After all, he has opened the gates, which means that he doesn't care about your departure compared to the queen. So, you're safe now. ”

Xue Ya is not as optimistic as him, and in her heart, the emperor will never have a good face for herself, and she seems to be extremely bored. He is like this to himself, and how can he always reluctantly guess the goodness of his actions?

"Either way, we'll have to find a place to hide for a while." Xue Ya said as she looked around.

Xie Tangchen took her hand and said in a low voice: "I'll figure out a way to deal with this matter, your hands are shaking so much now, it's really because you're too excited." ”

His hands were warm and reassuring, and Xue Ya realized that he had already panicked, standing there looking around, turning in circles without direction.

"Although the emperor is fighting for the queen's funeral, it is difficult to distract ourselves from arresting us. But for the sake of insurance, we can't take the official road, it's better to take the mountain road. Xie Tangchen said.

"I remember there was a land temple half an hour to the east, how about we settle down there tonight?" Xie Tangchen patiently asked Xue Ya's opinion.

Xue Ya had never respected her opinions so much since she could remember, and when she suddenly saw Xie Tangchen's tone, she was still a little uncomfortable: "Xie ...... Childe, I have never had any ideas, and I am not familiar with the road outside Luoyang City, so everything is just up to Childe. ”

Xie Tangchen smiled slightly, he raised his hand to carefully brush away the hair that was sticking to his mouth just now because of his escape for Xue Ya, and then said, "Since this is the case, you don't have to worry, everything is with me." ”

Xue Ya blushed for some reason, pursed her lips and nodded.

The mountain road they were walking on was not wide, so if a carriage came in front of them or behind, they had to stop and pull over. Fortunately, it is now the first month of the year, and all the relatives who have gone home at this time have gone home, and there are not many cases to avoid.

At this moment, Xue Ya suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves not far behind her, and she hurriedly dragged Xie Tangchen to the side of the road to hide. As she was dodging, she turned around and saw the donkey cart with vegetables, probably because of the slump in business, and half of the cart was still in pumpkins, and the sweet potatoes were not sold.

Just when the donkey cart and Xue Ya staggered by, Xue Ya seemed to remember something, and she suddenly shouted: "Do you recognize Aunt Liu from Shijiao Village?" ”

When the driver heard Xueya's shout, he suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped the donkey cart.

He looked back at Xue Ya and Xie Tangchen, and after making sure that the two of them didn't look like bad people, he accosted him: "Some time ago, it was common for her to come to Luoyang City to sell vegetables, but I haven't seen her for almost ten days recently. Do you have anything to do with her? ”

Xue Ya replied: "Aunt Liu has two daughters, both of whom are married, and if she wants to come to this New Year, her daughter must have brought her grandson to see her, so she naturally can't go out to sell vegetables." I am an old acquaintance of Mrs. Liu, and she has been kind to me. Now...... My husband and I wanted to give her a New Year's greeting, but we forgot how to go to her house, so we asked my eldest brother to make it convenient and take us to Shijiao Village. ”

The driver nodded after hearing this: "Aunt Liu is a warm-hearted person, and she usually likes to help a fellow villager, if you go to repay the favor, then it is really right." However, Aunt Liu and I met in the vegetable market in Luoyang City, Han Dynasty, but we don't live in the same village, so I can only send you to Shijiao Village, and you can walk in by yourself. ”

Xue Ya thanked again and again: "Big brother, you are really a good person!" As long as we are sent to the entrance of the village, I will be able to find Aunt Liu's house. ”

"That's good, let's get in the car!" As soon as the driver waved, Xue Ya dragged Xie Tangchen onto the donkey cart.

After getting in the car and sitting down, Xue Ya realized that he hadn't asked Xie Tangchen's opinion from the time he stopped the driver to the time he decided to go to Aunt Liu's house, and he asked him very seriously just now if he wanted to go to the Land Temple.

So, Xue Ya explained with some uneasiness: "Gongzi Xie, the incident happened suddenly just now, and I haven't had time to explain it to you yet. This Aunt Liu once saved me, and said that she would recognize me as her goddaughter, she was very good, we went to her house, she would definitely take us in......"

Before she finished speaking, Xie Tangchen smiled with relief, as if he didn't care about it: "As long as you feel good, you can do whatever you want, I won't object." ”

Xue Ya has always spoken cautiously, looking at other people's faces, today for the first time I tasted the taste of willfulness, I really can't believe it. She said tentatively, "Aren't you angry? My own assertions? ”

Xie Tangchen shook his head and didn't say anything, just touched her head.

Xue Ya suddenly felt her heartbeat fluttering, she lowered her head, thought about it and suddenly asked, "Let's leave, what should Tang Xin do?" She's still ...... What about in that shop? ”

Xie Tangchen's eyebrows were tightened, and a sharp pain seemed to pass through his heart. After a while, he spoke: "After placing you in the teahouse, I went to the shop, gave the boss some silver, and told him that if I didn't come back in three days, I would ask him to properly settle Tang Xin." In the future, if I have the ability to return to Luoyang, I will definitely thank him doubly. ”

Xue Ya knew Xie Tangchen's feelings for his little sister, and he also knew what a big regret it was for him not to bury his sister with his own hands. However, for the sake of Xueya, he made such a choice.
