They ran as fast as they could from the secret passage one after another, and Li Sanniang ran the fastest. She was the first to rush to the end of the secret passage, pushed away the wooden board that was blocking the door, rushed out, turned around and looked, only to find that the exit was an empty coffin with a hollowed out bottom plate, Li Sanniang and Liu Wuniang, who came out second, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Bad luck!" ”

And Shen Ruyu was the last to come out, but she felt that coming out of the coffin didn't mean that they were moving from "death" to "life"? The person who designed this exit didn't know if he also thought of this meaning, but when I looked at it this way, I felt that this arrangement was quite philosophical.

They are now in the wooded hinterland of the outskirts of the city, and I don't know how long ago someone used this place as a place to dispose of corpses, and slowly threw out a clearing and became a mass grave.

Except for the servants, there are almost no people who come into contact with corpses because of their work, so it is almost impossible for those who are not familiar with it to find their way in from outside the woods.

Perhaps because of the scarcity of visitors, this place with several random barren graves is gloomy, with a canopy of trees that shades the sky and the sun and is dimly lit. The wind blows, the leaves rattle, and I always feel like a wolf crying in a trance, which makes people tremble.

However, at this moment, Shen Ruyu and his group had just escaped from the chaotic army, and no one had the heart to scare themselves for a while.

They hid behind the cover of the woods, and could faintly see the northern county town not far away. The gates of the high-walled city were closed, but it was difficult to tell from the outside what kind of chaos had just been experienced inside. They watched out for the soldiers stationed on the city wall to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and after looking at it for a while, they took a few steps back in the depths of the woods.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was an incredible feeling as if they were in a dream.

The whole body retreated among the ten thousand armies, for the ordinary people, it was a scene that would only appear in the script, but now, it really happened to him, just now he just thought about escaping but he didn't feel much, but now that he escaped, he was afraid that his hands and feet were weak, and he was sweating all over.

Those civilians were excited and palpitated, and they didn't seem to want to stay near Beijun for a second longer, but although they wanted to turn around and leave immediately, they didn't dare to leave without permission.

Shen Ruyu saw their restless appearance, presumably they were so focused like arrows, they probably had their own places to go, so she said: "If there is a place to go, disperse on their own, be careful, don't come out again recently." ”

When Li Sanniang and Liu Wuniang heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Shen Ruyu, and ran towards the mountain without looking back.

Lu Pei also dragged Lu Ating and wanted to leave, but her younger brother didn't move.

"We have nowhere to go." Lu Ating looked at Shen Ruyu a little stubbornly, "I think it's safest to follow you." ”

At this critical time, Shen Ruyu couldn't help but laugh because of his determination, "Stupid," she touched his head, "How can I be safe next to me?" Do you believe that if someone catches me, the first one to be arrested will be me? ”

But thanks to him, Shen Ruyu's expression softened a lot just now, and she seemed to realize that she still had someone to protect, and she couldn't mess with herself, even if she fled to the outskirts of the city now, she had to continue to calm down. She turned to look at Wang Zijun on the side, among these people, Wang Zijun's expression was still the same, "Zijun, you take them first." ”

Wen Ming's face turned pale with some fear, "What about you?" ”

Shen Ruyu shook his head, "Qingyang helped us stay in the city after the break, I can't just leave her like this, I have to wait for him to come out." ”

Mingxi excitedly grabbed her sleeve and shouted, "Sister, you're crazy!" ”

In a hurry, he directly called out "Sister", but no one cared about this matter at the moment, Shen Ruyu did not comfort him, but looked directly at Wang Zijun, "You flee first and tell the officials and soldiers about the situation in the city." I'll stay, if the rebels catch up, it's better to delay you, if not, it's even better, I'll chase you myself." ”

Wang Zijun also knew that among them, Shen Ruyu was the only one who deserved the rebels to slow down.

When she and Shen Ruyu were in danger together, Wang Zijun didn't feel afraid. However, if only Shen Ruyu was imprisoned, Wang Zijun would not be able to continue to maintain that detached mentality.

She has known that she is a little strange since she was a child, and the people around her often can't understand what she is thinking, and there are some things that she thinks are nothing, and others seem to be surprised that their eyes are about to fall. When she was young, adults still regarded her as a childlike and funny, but when she grew up, Wang Zijun himself didn't remember how many times she was reprimanded by her elders for talking crazy and doing things in a mess.

Only Shen Ruyu can understand her and keep up with her logic and thinking, and sometimes, Wang Zijun even feels that he can't keep up with Shen Ruyu's thinking.

She knew that although Shen Ruyu looked gentle and amiable, her heart was tightly wrapped, and no one could touch her lightly, so like her, she had no friends since she was a child.

The difference is only that Wang Zijun sometimes doesn't know that his thoughts are unacceptable to others, so he comes out without hiding or restraining herself, she thinks others are fools, and others think she is crazy. And Shen Ruyu, she seems to know clearly what is different from others, so she carefully hides her differences, pretending to be without edges and corners, gentle as jade, and a lady is humble.

Therefore, being able to become Shen Ruyu's friend is the thing that makes Wang Zijun the happiest. Being with Shen Ruyu is also the thing that makes her the happiest.

Shen Ruyu has very few friends, and being so few that she can become her friends is a thing that can make people extremely proud.

Therefore, as long as she is with Shen Ruyu, Wang Zijun has nothing to worry about, even if she dies, she doesn't feel any sadness if she can die together.

The book says that if you can get a confidant in life, what more can you ask for.

However, if you say goodbye at this time, you may never see each other again. What Wang Zijun is most afraid of is that she and Shen Ruyu are separated, and then from now on, no one in the world can understand her or understand her.

It's just that she can become friends with Shen Ruyu, not only because she is not understood, but most importantly, because she and Shen Ruyu understand each other and can trust each other. So Wang Zijun glanced at Shen Ruyu seriously, put away the relaxed smile on his face, but he didn't talk nonsense, and even agreed a little indifferently, "Okay." Let's go first. ”

Wen Ming and Ming Xi both wanted to say something, but Wang Zijun grabbed them coldly, "We stayed, but it's all a burden." ”

When they were discussing these life-threatening matters here, Meng Xiaoniang stood aside, but she didn't speak, she only kept looking at Shen Ruyu with her eyes, and after a while, she finally took a deep breath and knelt down towards her.

"Meng Jue, the secret guard of the Inner Guard Mansion of Dajiangbei County, has seen Lord Shen Ruyu Shen."

The internal guards of the county governments have been in and out of the country for generations, and some of them can enter and exit the internal guards of the county governments and communicate with officialdom in the open side, but there are also some secret guards hidden in the market and are not known.

In a period when there are no special circumstances, some secret guards will not perform the function of internal guards once in their lives, just like any ordinary ordinary person, who lives a life in peace and tranquility. And in special times, such as now, they are a group of nails that have been ambushed deeply.

Some of the secret guards have not come forward for three or four generations, no matter how they investigate, they are absolutely innocent and good citizens, in this case, even if the rebels know that there are secret guards, they can't find out.

Meng Jue is such a family of secret guards, her family has been hereditary for three generations, and this is the first time she has fulfilled her duties as a secret guard. Not long ago, she connected with an internal guard who had infiltrated the city and reported the situation in the city to the other party, but unfortunately, when the other party escaped, she had to continue to stay in Beijun, and then ran into King Ning's sudden nervous illness, arrested him, and used it to threaten Shen Ruyu.

The internal guard who infiltrated the city to inquire about intelligence and successfully retired naturally also brought instructions from the palace to Meng Jue - if Shen Ruyu surrendered, there was no need to pursue it, and it didn't even have to be written into the Shanglu document afterwards - His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to read this, and he didn't bother to read this.

In fact, at that time, Meng Jue felt that Shen Ruyu had no other better way than to bow his head. As a result, in a blink of an eye, they were led by her and rushed out of the city.

Meng Jue is not convinced.

She knelt on the ground and said respectfully to Shen Ruyu, "Don't worry, the vanguard of our army has already made preparations and will arrive before the end of the day." ”

This surprising news calmed everyone down for a while.

It was about one to three o'clock in the afternoon, and Shen Ruyu looked up at the sky, it happened to be just after noon—it was about to arrive.

She was silent for a while, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Meng Jue on the shoulder a few times, "...... Next time this kind of thing, can you say it earlier? ”

Now that he has successfully connected with the officers and soldiers, no matter what, the threat to life has been reduced by more than half.

After Kong Qingyang also crawled out of the exit of the secret passage, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief - she set a fire before leaving, and the officers and soldiers had to put out the fire first for a while.

This time, Wang Zijun and the others proposed to return to the Beijing Division, and Shen Ruyu no longer objected - this trip was really a bumpy journey, and she could still endure the bandits, but the rebellion?

She's better to go back and be a beautiful girl quietly.

When he set off, he spent a lot of time because he always had to stay on the shore to socialize, and when he went back, he went straight to Beijing, but just a few days later, Shen Ruyu was sent back to the capital.

It's also strange to say, when others are in distress, there are always a few people in the team, Shen Ruyu is in distress, but in the end, he brought a few more people back-

Kong Qingyang, Lu Ating, Lu Pei, Meng Jue.
