Chapter 11: Danger

Even if it was close at hand, Ling Xu didn't even dare to touch Xiao Mo's hair this time, the good fragrance lingered in this small and confined space, which was pleasant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although it was not the first time that he was so close, his head was almost close to the side of his face, and the sound of breathing one after another made Xiao Mo a little uncomfortable, and his cheeks were red.

The official broke through the door, and there was a lot of movement, but the whole room was empty.

"Headcatcher, no one seems to be there."

"Didn't you say that Miss Xiao and the man's lived in this room?" The headcatcher stared viciously at the innkeeper.

The shopkeeper was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... yes, I didn't see them go out, how could they not be there. ”

Xiao Mo was extremely nervous, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his heart was pounding. Xiao Mo raised his head, the light that came through the gap in the cabinet just shone on Ling Xu's face, and Xiao Mo still saw such a warm smile, which made the originally panicked and restless mood gradually calm.

Xiao Mo thought that he was also a very courageous person in the past, but he had never experienced such a situation of mobilizing the crowd to search for her, and he was still a little flustered, but this Ling Xu looked like he was not afraid of danger, and it seemed that he had experienced a lot of big scenes.

"Look, head catcher." A chamberlain pointed to the window.

The catcher walked to the window and picked up the women's shoes, looked out the window, saw the footprints in the mud puddle in the backyard, and saw the backyard door swaying back and forth, and immediately said: "Chase me, they ran away from the backyard!" ”

Hearing the movement of the group of officials chasing out, the two people in the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief.

It was quiet outside, and Ling Xu said softly: "It seems that everyone is gone, let's go out." ”

Xiao Mo pushed open the cabinet door and went out, let out a long sigh of relief, and said happily: "It's good that I didn't search this house." "Go to the window and get your shoes on.

"Miss Xiao is really smart." Ling Xu said with a smile.

Xiao Mo chuckled: "It's your entourage who is clever enough, and you have to credit him for it." ”

"It's the first time someone has praised Xiaoliu for his cleverness."

Xiao Mo hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate to be here for a long time, go quickly." ”

Ling Xu looked at Xiao Mo, his eyebrows frowned: "In this case, does Miss Xiao still insist on going to Sui'an alone?" It's not that Sui An can't go, it's just that the surnamed Zhang is here with one hand to cover the sky, and it may not be easy for Miss Xiao to escape from Shuiyun County. ”

"What is Ling Gongzi's opinion?"

"It's better for Miss Xiao to go down to Yan Kingdom first, and she should avoid the limelight, and when she arrives in Yan Kingdom, she will send someone to escort Miss Xiao to Sui An."

"You sent someone to take me to Sui'an?" Xiao Mo was skeptical.

Ling Xu smiled: "Now I and Miss Xiao are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they can be regarded as allies, and they will never break their promises." ”

Ling Xu was right, now that she went to Sui An alone, it was probably more difficult than ascending to the sky, not to mention that she was penniless, but as soon as she went to Yan Kingdom with him, Xiao Mo still hesitated.

"Miss Xiao still can't believe it? You and I met in the water, but I couldn't bear Miss Xiao to fall into the fire pit. ”

Xiao Mo looked at his eyes, clear and clean, although he was close to the man's kindness, Xiao Mo always had palpitations, and now that he was in an embarrassing situation, he might as well choose to believe him once.

"Okay, I'll go to Yan Kingdom with you."

Ling Xu nodded: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

The two of them walked out of the inn quickly, not daring to delay for a moment, for fear of being recognized by the shopkeeper, so they buried their heads and hurriedly walked their steps, and did not notice the gaze behind them.

Ling Xu took the horse and rode Xiao Mo together, and quickly ran away from the inn.

"Miss Xiao grew up in this Shuiyun County?" Ling Xu asked.

"I don't remember." Xiao Mo said that he was worried about others mentioning old things and couldn't answer them, but now no matter who asks about the past, this sentence is enough.

Ling Xu rode his horse and took Xiao Mo to the creek under the trees, this place was not far from the inn, but it was sparsely populated, and it was a safe place for the time being.

"Let's wait here for Liu." Ling Xu said and led Xiao Mo to get off the horse.

Xiao Mo and Ling Xu stood by the stream, and looked at Ling Xu in a flash: "Since Ling Gongzi is from Yan Kingdom, why is he in Shuiyun County?" ”

"I ...... I am...... Miss Xiao might as well treat me as a traveling merchant. Ling Xu said casually.

Although Ling Xu was dressed plainly, Xiao Mo could see at a glance that he was by no means the son of an ordinary family, this person was either rich or noble, but didn't he have reservations about him? I didn't ask any more questions.

"Why does Miss Xiao insist on going to Sui'an?"

Xiao Mo stared at the trembling water, and slowly spoke: "Everyone has their own ambitions. ”

Ling Xu was puzzled: "If it is a man, most of the people who go to Sui An are for official careers, but Miss Xiao is a woman, and her ambition is not to enter the court as an official, right?" ”

"Ask so much what to do." Xiao Mo glanced at him.

Ling Xu asked, "Could it be...... Entering the palace? ”

With this sentence, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment and was silent.

"It seems that I really want to enter the palace, but there are nine countries in this world, Lu, Jin, Wei, Xiyong and the five small countries of the Modan tribe are not concerned for the time being, Yan, Qi, Zhou, Ning, and Nai are the four major countries, even if you don't choose the Western Zhou Kingdom and the Beining Kingdom, then the Qi State and the Yan State are tied for the first of the nine countries, and the palace of the Yan State may not be as good as the Qi State, from here to the Yan State Han is closer to Sui An, why do you want to go to Sui An? Go round the sun to meet the moon. ”

Xiao Mo looked at Ling Xu and smiled: "The reason is very simple, I am from the Qi Kingdom. ”

Ling Xu looked disapproving: "Qi Jun is mediocre, what can you get when you enter the palace?" ”

Xiao Mo only felt that this person was incredible, a Yan country, dared to say bluntly that the monarch was mediocre in the territory of Qi State, although Yan State and Qi State have been peaceful in recent years, and on the surface they have opened the border to trade with each other, but Yan State can't stand Qi State, Qi State can't get used to Yan State This is a clear thing, if you can catch each other's handle, the two countries can't ask for it, even if it's just a word from the people, it may cause a war between the two countries.

"What about Yanjun? How good could he be? Xiao Mo asked rhetorically, in her heart, she hated Yan Jun a lot, and the king of a country could do something slanderous. And Qi Jun is mediocre Xiao Mo will not know, but the country of Qi was laid down by her father and brother in blood, and it is the homeland that she Xiao Mo wants to protect, no matter how hateful the Qin family is, she still loves this land deeply and does not forget that she is a native of Qi country. Suddenly remembered that Ling seemed to be the surname of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, could it be that Ling Xu was a member of the royal family of Yan Kingdom?

Ling Xu said lightly: "When you arrive in Yan Country and see the life of the people of Yan Kingdom, you will know what a peaceful and prosperous era is, unlike this Qi Kingdom, what kind of monarch there is, what kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials." ”

Xiao Mo didn't bother to argue with him, this time it was just an expedient measure to agree to go to Yan Country with him, he was bent on going to Sui An, but he never thought that he would go farther and farther, turning his eyes to look at the north, and he didn't know if he was okay.

Xiao Mo's bright eyes were full of thoughts, Ling Xu was calm and thoughtful, and the two of them stood quietly by the stream, surrounded by the sound of the wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, Xiao Mo turned around, looking at the scene in front of her in horror, she and Ling Xu had been surrounded by these officials.
