57. Chapter 58

When she said this, Feng Xiao was not angry at all, but she still had a warm smile: "When the overall situation is decided, I will take you wherever you want to go?" ”

There was some doting indulgence in his tone, but Zhou Qingqing felt worried in his heart.

She looked at him silently, didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly laughed twice, and said unhurriedly: "What? If General Feng is called the emperor in the future, he still plans to marry me, a woman who has been married, as a concubine? ”

Feng Xiao smiled faintly: "I grew up in the northern Yan tribe since I was a child, and I have no interest in the etiquette of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. My mother took me to marry my adoptive father, who treated her wholeheartedly and treated me as his own. Although I am probably not as tolerant as my adoptive father, and can treat other people's children as my own, I will never despise you because you are married. ”

Zhou Qingqing's heart was alarmed, and his right hand involuntarily touched his lower abdomen. sneered on his face: "Thanks to General Feng's wrong love, Qingqing can't afford it." ”

Feng Xiao smiled lightly: "If our Luo clan was not wiped out by the Western Qin, according to the friendship between my father and the king of Dingxi County, I am afraid that we would have already married." If you don't care about your identity, you haven't been close to each other, and you are asked to choose between me and Qin Zhen, but I am afraid that the person you choose is me. ”

Zhou Qingqing was stunned, and there was no way to deny his words, when she was on the road to harmony, after he sacrificed herself to block a knife for herself, she did have a little thought about him. It's just that now that I think about it, it was all a joke.

She stopped talking, heard the bustling sound outside, and knew that the carriage had arrived on Yandu Street. If it was before, she still wanted to think about the long run, but now she may have an untimely little life in her belly, a life that Feng Xiao categorically cannot tolerate, and she must escape before he finds out.

After thinking for a moment, she lifted a little curtain and said, "I have been in Yandu for more than half a month, and I have never been on the street, so I have seen the customs here." Since I'm passing by the street, I wonder if General Feng can let me go shopping? ”

Feng Xiao raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Of course you can, I'll accompany you." ”

The street of Yandu at night is very lively, not inferior to Jinling, the shouting and selling of street vendors, the candles that light up the night sky, and the bustling pedestrians, like a city that never sleeps. This was an excellent opportunity to escape, but Feng Xiao followed closely next to Zhou Qingqing, and there were several master guards in front and behind.

With a heart in her hand, she looked around quietly, until she saw a shadow puppet vendor in front of her, and she made a very interested appearance and stepped forward to stand in a circle of spectators.

Feng Xiao whispered in her ear, "Do you like to watch this?" ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded.

Feng Xiao said again: "Then tomorrow, I will invite a few shadow puppet masters to perform for you in the palace." ”

After the first scene, the boss came out from behind and said, "Who wants to give it a try?" ”

Zhou Qingqing stepped forward with a smile: "I'll give it a try." ”

Feng Xiao clasped her wrist.

Zhou Qingqing turned his head and smiled: "With so many people, are you still afraid that I will run away?" ”

Feng Xiao's frowning brows loosened slightly, and said with a smile: "You go, I also want to see how your skills are!" ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled, walked to the shadow puppet stall, took a shadow puppet, played a scene with the boss next to him, and began to perform.

When she used to be in Jinling, she often played this with her younger siblings, so she was very skillful.

After singing a part, it was the boss's turn to start, she stood the shadow puppet behind the curtain, took out a piece of silver from her waist and put it in the boss's hand, made a gesture to him to continue singing, and she burrowed under the shadow puppet table.

Feng Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at the dancing shadow puppet on the curtain, but the shadow puppet that was originally held by Zhou Zhou Qingqing stopped moving for a long time, he suddenly frowned, and took a few steps up to take a look at it. But where is there still Zhou Qingqing's shadow.

"What about people?" He snorted at the boss who was still performing.

The boss saw him in a brocade robe, with a sword at his waist, knowing that he was not an ordinary person, he pointed to the back, and said tremblingly: "Let's go!" ”

Feng Xiaochao was still standing under a few subordinates in the crowd and ordered: "Miss Zhou is gone, everyone will go to look for it separately, and find it for me immediately!" ”

The audience who originally came to see the play saw that something was wrong, so they scattered.

The boss cleaned up the stall unhurriedly, blew out the lanterns on the stall, and whispered: "Girl, everyone is gone!" ”

Zhou Qingqing just crawled out from under the table, just now she was just holding on to a glimmer of hope, when she heard Feng Xiao walk to the back of the stall, she knew that he was thoughtful, thinking that he would lift the curtain under the table, but she didn't know that it was really secret.

She thanked the boss, loosened her hair, tied it back into a normal bun, and saw an old cloak under the boss's desk, which she picked up and draped over her shoulders.

The boss said: "Seeing that the girl is from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, now that Yandu is occupied by Beizhao, the people are in a panic, the girl should leave early, don't ask people to catch her." ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded: "Thank you, uncle, I'll leave." ”

Suddenly, many court soldiers appeared on the street, as if they were searching for someone. Zhou Qingqing knew that these were Feng Xiao's subordinates, and the person searching for her was her. Fortunately, it was dark at night, and she changed her hairstyle and clothes again, it was not Feng Xiao and a few people around him who had seen her many times, and no one could recognize her at a glance.

But these people were obviously very careful in their search, and whenever they met a woman of about their size, they would stop and take a look. Zhou Qingqing was hidden in the dark in the corner of the wall, unable to get out at all. She knew that she had escaped, and Feng Xiao would inevitably be strictly searched and arrested in the past few days, and the checkpoints out of the city would definitely be strictly checked.

The most dangerous place is actually the safest place, she thought for a moment, and decided that it would be better to hide in the city for a few days, wait until Feng Xiao thought she had escaped, relaxed her guard, and then chose the opportunity to go out of the city.

Helplessly, she was not familiar with Yan Du at all, it was dark, there were patrolling guards everywhere, and she didn't know where to go to settle down first.

In the corner of the wall where she was hiding at the moment, there was a pile of stinking garbage, and she was already uncomfortable in her stomach, and now she was even more disgusting. At this moment, two little beggars suddenly appeared and rummaged through food in the garbage. Zhou Qingqing whispered: "Come here!" ”

The two little beggars, who were no more than ten years old, looked at her warily and walked cautiously.

Zhou Qingqing took out a bit of broken silver from the money bag: "You help me avoid the officers and soldiers searching outside, and I will give you this silver." ”

The two beggars glanced at each other, nodded vigorously, stepped forward and wiped the things in their hands on Zhou Qingqing's face, grabbed her hair again, and said, "You have to be like us to escape." ”

Zhou Qingqing endured the smell on his face, he didn't have to think about it, as long as he looked at these two dirty beggars, he knew what the hell he was like now. The little beggar handed her the wooden basin, pulled her up and said, "Let's go!" ”

In the night, beggars with broken wooden basins looked around for food discarded on the ground.

The officers and soldiers saw several people and impatiently expelled them: "Go away, go away!" Get out of the way! ”

Zhou Qingqing learned from the two little beggars to get out of the way, about all three of them stinked badly, and none of the officers and soldiers looked at them carefully.

Finally, there was no danger, and I followed the two little beggars to an abandoned and dilapidated house that leaked rain and wind. There are a total of seven or eight beggars here, there are men and women, the oldest is only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only six or seven years old.

The little beggar who took Zhou Qingqing into the door handed the silver in his hand to an older girl and said, "This sister gave it to us." ”

Zhou Qingqing said with a smile: "I was caught by the bad guys, I finally escaped, I have nowhere to go, I want to beg for food with you." ”

The little girl was probably the leader of this group of beggars, and she made the appearance of a little adult: "It's no problem to beg for food with us, but you will listen to my arrangement in the future." ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't help laughing: "It must be." ”

The little girl raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and pointed out a place for her: "You will sleep there tonight." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled and thanked him, climbed to the straw pile, tossed all night, and was a little tired, so he simply closed his eyes and lay down. He involuntarily put his hand on his abdomen, and said secretly: Xiaodouding, I have wronged you in the past few days!

The night in the north is cold, there is only straw in this dilapidated house, a few children are crowded into a pile to keep warm, and the two children next to Zhou Qingqing do not recognize life, and wrap their hands and feet around her. Although there was a bad smell everywhere, Zhou Qingqing actually felt that it was much more reassuring than staying in the Narui Palace.

In the next few days, Zhou Qingqing dressed up as a beggar, mingled with this group of little beggars, begged on the street during the day, and came back at night to rest in the dilapidated house. Unkempt and gaunt, she can meet the officers and soldiers patrolling and searching every day, but no one finds her.

She had even seen the carriage of the Rui Wangfu, but she didn't know if it was Feng Xiao sitting in the carriage.

Another advantage of being a beggar is that you can take the opportunity to observe the situation on the street. After a few days, Zhou Qingqing obviously noticed that the number of officers and soldiers in the search was decreasing, and Feng Xiao thought that she was out of the city.

Without further ado, the reaction of her body became more and more obvious, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that the little bean in her belly would not be able to stand the dirty and smelly days all day.

After a few days, she has become familiar with a group of little beggars, but they are all children who have no father and no mother, and begging is also a last resort, she only keeps a little money for herself, and gives all the rest to these children.

I don't want these children to hear that she is going out of the city and leave Yandu, so they have to follow her.

She thought about it, and with these little beggars as cover, it might be easier to get out of the city, so she readily agreed.

During the day, the city gate was full of people and was not strict, and it was a group of small beggars, and when the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw it, they were impatient to drive people away and let them go quickly. Out of the city unexpectedly Shun lĂŹ.

The group walked to a small forest, there was a stream next to the forest, Zhou Qingqing was very smelly, and she didn't care about the cold water of the stream, so she told the children to wait in the forest, and she went to the stream to wash.

The stream was biting, and she could only wash her face and hands at will, but she was also much refreshed.

Walking slowly towards the forest, I suddenly found that the forest was surprisingly quiet.

"Little Bean!" She whispered, it was the little girl's name. However, no one responded.

She frowned, secretly said that something was wrong, and was about to retreat, but suddenly stepped on something soft at her feet, turned her head to look, and screamed in fright.

I saw a beggar lying on the ground who had long lost her breath, it was the little bean she called.

When she turned her head again, the children who were supposed to be waiting for her were all lying on the ground, and they were no longer sound.

Zhou Qingqing staggered back two steps, his mind was blank, he held his head and collapsed and shouted: "Feng Xiao! You come out! ”

The sound of footsteps stepped on the autumn leaves, and he walked out of the forest step by step.

Zhou Qingqing turned his head to look, and saw Feng Xiao, who was dressed in a gray brocade robe, walking towards her without hurrying or slow, with a breezy smile on his face, he looked at her, and said lightly: "Qingqing, I have been looking for you for five days." ”

Zhou Qingqing's whole body was trembling, as if she was in an ice cave, she looked at him in horror, and only spoke after a long time: "You killed them?" ”

Feng Xiao was noncommittal, and wrote lightly: "It's just a few beggars." ”

Zhou Qingqing took a few steps back, turned around and was about to run, but his feet had not left the ground, and his body had already softened.

Feng Xiao walked over, picked her up, and said with a smile: "Look at how sloppy you are when you have been away from home for so many days, mixing with a few beggars!" ”

His tone was a little gentle and doting, but Zhou Qingqing only felt terrifying. She was pointed at by him, she couldn't move, and she didn't want to look at his handsome and gentle face, she knew what a cruel and cold heart she had under that face.

She had to close her eyes, but she couldn't hold back two lines of tears.

Feng Xiao had a slight smile on her face, and her eyes were as black as ink with an indistinguishable expression.
