On the afternoon of the day when Liu Qingcheng was besieged, in Mochizuki City, which was two hundred miles away from Liu Qingcheng, a dusty carriage came. Seeing the carriage driving into an inn, it seemed to mean to stay.

It's just that when news came that Liuqingcheng, two hundred miles to the west, was besieged by bandits, the carriage drove out of the inn and continued westward.

It was none other than Yao Wenlin from Cannes in the carriage.

Ever since Ran'er insisted on following Ge Zhuang and Yao Yuan to the border to pick up Guan Zhongping, who was seriously injured and unconscious, Yao Wenlin had been nervous in his heart.

When the holy decree of marrying Ran'er as the crown prince's concubine reached the Yao family, Yao Wenlin couldn't stay at all.

In particular, after the eunuch returned from Zhulin Villa, Yao Wenlin still set up the carriage, arranged for his family to serve his elderly father Yao Shuangcheng, and embarked on the journey to catch up with the three of Ran'er's master and servant.

First of all, because he was worried that Ran'er would walk such a long way, not to mention, she still had to go to the border where there were frequent wars, Yao Wenlin disagreed from the beginning.

Moreover, I was worried that Ran'er and his entourage would not know about the marriage decree, so they would return directly to Cannes or Zhulin Villa. With Ran'er's personality, Yao Wenlin knew that it was impossible for Ran'er to agree to marry into the inner courtyard of the palace. Then it is bound to be charged with disrespect, which is a felony to kill the head or exterminate the nine clans.

Therefore, Yao Wenlin said that he couldn't sit still.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and inquired about the traces of the three of their master and servant and came to Mochizuki City.

As soon as he heard that Liuqingcheng, which was two hundred miles away to the west, was suddenly besieged by bandits, although it was not certain that the three of them would be trapped in the city, this possibility could not be ruled out, so Yao Wenlin, who had planned to live in Mochizuki City, rushed to Liuqingcheng overnight.

Two hundred miles away, it was already afternoon when he set off, and Yao Wenlin didn't come to the outside of Liuqing City until the morning of the next day. found that sure enough, a group of people dressed in various costumes blocked the four gates of Liu Qingcheng.

Just when Yao Wenlin wondered why the garrison of Mochizuki City who had come to relieve the siege of Liuqingcheng before him had disappeared, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near. And the direction was to run his own carriage, Yao Wenlin couldn't help but get out of the car in advance, standing on the side of the road and being on guard.

He didn't believe that he would meet old friends in this unfamiliar place.

One person and one rider soon came to Yao Wenlin's side, although the horse's speed slowed down, but it didn't seem to mean to stop at all. Seeing a soldier dressed as an officer on horseback, he suddenly picked up the long knife in his hand and suddenly slashed at Yao Wenlin, who was standing by the carriage and was on guard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Wenlin hurriedly lay on the ground, and then rolled around before he stood up. Although the posture was very ugly, he finally escaped the knife cut by the officer and soldier.

Obviously, he didn't want to be overly entangled with Yao Wenlin, and seeing that he missed, the officer and soldier did not continue to attack Yao Wenlin, but sat down with his legs and galloped towards the east gate of Liuqing City.

When Yao Wenlin saw from a distance that the officer and soldier on horseback rushed into the bandit team besieging Liu Qingcheng without any scruples, his eyes widened in surprise.

It didn't take long to see that the besieging of the east gate suddenly and gradually withdrew, and they also sent three people to separate to inform the bandits besieging Liu Qingcheng at the other three gates.

When the bandits gradually retreated and there was no one in sight, the garrison who had rushed from Mochizuki City to relieve the siege suddenly appeared.

The scene in front of him suddenly made Yao Wenlin feel a chill in his heart.

The war at the border is tight, and the officers and soldiers here actually collude with bandits to loot the city, how long can such a court last?

There was no time to sigh, lest the soldier who slashed himself with a knife would reveal his identity after returning to the team, and then invite the disaster of extermination, Yao Wenlin hurriedly drove the carriage towards the west of Liu Qingcheng and continued to advance. It wasn't until near the evening that it was estimated that Liu Qingcheng had already opened the city gate, so he slowly returned.

Obviously, the residents of Liuqing City, who had been besieged by bandits for almost a day and a night, had not yet recovered from the horror of the past, and there were few pedestrians on the entire street, not to mention that most of the shops were not open.

In order to inquire whether Ran'er was in the city, Yao Wenlin had to go door-to-door to ask the inn.

Fortunately, Liu Qingcheng is not big, and he soon found the inn where Ran'er lived.

"Uncle Yao?!"

"Ran'er, you let the uncle find it so hard."

"What's wrong with the uncle, there's nothing going on at home, right?"

After Yao Wenlin freshened up, Ran'er personally served him a cup of tea, and then asked.

Yao Wenlin carefully looked at Ran'er in front of him, although he hadn't seen him for nearly a month, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was pale and bloodless. did not answer Ran'er's question, but asked rhetorically:

"Is Ran'er sick?"

"It was a little sick a few days ago, but now it's better."

"Then how did you stay in Liuqing City?"

Ran Er had to tell the truth and told Yao Wenlin what happened.

"Fortunately, Ran'er didn't insist on going to the front line."

Next, Yao Wenlin explained his intentions in detail.

Of course, after hearing the marriage decree, although she didn't exclaim, from her resolute expression, Yao Wenlin already knew the answer.

"Uncle, since this is the case, it is not good for Ran'er to go back to Cannes, and it is not good to go back to Zhulin Villa."

After pondering for a long time, Ran Er said what she was thinking.

"If you don't go back to Cannes, what if you don't go back to Bamboo Forest Villa?"

Yes, Ran'er's grandparents, mother, and Qinglian are all in Zhulin Villa, as well as Guan Zhongping's soul, as well as family business, and so on.

"I also have to trouble the uncle to send a letter to the villa, and when I find a suitable place to live, I will ask Lian'er and grandpa to send Zhongping's soul over."

After thinking about it, Yao Wenlin could only agree.

"Do you want to go there?"

"Just a place where there are no relatives and it won't cause them problems. I just haven't thought about it yet. ”

Yao Wenlin didn't think of anything good in his heart for a while, so he said to Ran'er:

"When I go home and ask my father, my father has been traveling from south to north, so he should know where to hide."

"By the way, uncle, will Ran'er's affairs bring Uncle Yao and Grandpa Yao?"

"Hehe, although Ran'er is relieved, although the eunuch looked menacing when he returned from the Bamboo Forest Villa, there was no movement afterwards. However, the little prince of Ruiwangfu went to the house a few times to inquire about Ran'er's whereabouts. ”

Yao Wenlin stayed at the inn for one night, and according to Ran'er's meaning, he asked him to go back to Kangcheng first, and sent a letter to Zhulin Villa for a while, but asked Yao Shuangcheng where it was more appropriate to hide. But Yao Wenlin was not at ease and stayed in the city alone, and he must insist on waiting for Ge Zhuang and Yao Yuan to come back before leaving.

Ran Er naturally couldn't resist Yao Wenlin, so in this way, the two stayed together in the inn in Liu Qingcheng.
