Situ Yan walked out of the restaurant and went back to Situ Mansion directly, not knowing that she and some people had rubbed shoulders again. She went out today to find out the news, and secondly, to save some chickens and rabbits for the snow wolf. As for everything else, she had it in her ring, and she didn't have anything to prepare.

Because of the details of the government's regulations, and the two troublesome young masters didn't get any benefits, and they were also fined for the month, so the minions at the bottom naturally couldn't make trouble. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the house, early in the morning of the twenty-fourth day of July, Situ Yan left the capital Luoyang with a mule cart.

Wu Guo and Mama Li were going to see her off, and let her persuade her to go back, she didn't like the parting scene, such a person walked chicly and didn't care. And she firmly believes that it won't be long before she and Wu Jin will come back. Since it is destined to meet again, there is naturally no need to send them thousands of miles.

On the twenty-fifth day of July, Duanmuxuan received a holy decree ordering him to leave Beijing and report to the northwest before the first day of August.

The study room of the Liangguo Mansion is brightly lit at this time, Duanmu Li is sitting behind the bookcase, caressing the teacup, looking at the son sitting on the left hand, his heart is mixed, "Xuan'er, if you don't want to, your father can go to the emperor to intercede for you." Zuo is just moving his family back to the capital. ”

"There are still aunts and cousins in the palace, and Duanmu Mansion is already difficult to ride a tiger. The child left this time, and the father was relaxed in the court, which was the best arrangement at the moment. These Duanmu Li also understand, but he only has this one son-in-law, and his father is more willing to give his son a stable life than the glory of the house. But since the son himself is willing to take on the responsibility of Duanmu Mansion, of course he, as a father, fully supports it.

"When will you go?"

"Since you decided to leave. Naturally, the sooner the better, so that the emperor can feel at ease as soon as possible. Duanmu Xuan looked at his father, who was a little old after the candlelight, and felt a little uncomfortable. Their Duanmu family can be said to have worked hard for Wu Guo, but now they are only exchanged for the emperor's suspicion, how can this not make people's hearts cold, but there is no better solution at the moment, so he hid this coldness in his heart and did not let his father see it.

"You're going to the northwest. The safety of the body is the most important thing, and the father should not be this Liangren Gong at most! ”

"Father, don't worry, the child has his own success in his heart!"

"Hmm. Stay a few more days, say goodbye to your mother, she can't worry about you when you go. I've seen her have a few more gray hairs these days! ”

"Yes. The child went to the inner courtyard to visit his mother! Duanmu Xuan's side is reluctant. Situ Yan has gone all the way out of Luoyang to Pingyin County, after Pingyin County, he entered Hedong County in Sizhou, where he turned to the west, passed through Dongyuan along Zhongwang Yingshan all the way to the northwest, and passed through Beiqu County and Anyi County to enter Pingyang County.

When Situ Yan was in Beiqu County, Duanmu Xuancai took fifteen guards and set off from Luoyang City on horseback. The horse whipped all the way, and the route he took was exactly the same as Situ Yan.

The destined two are finally on the same line. It's just that God hasn't arranged for them to meet yet, and now the two are still one after the other, and there is no intersection yet.

Although Situ Yan was in a hurry this way, she didn't dare to be too careless, she didn't want to get sick again, after all, there was no special medicine here. So except for sleeping in the mountains for 3 nights, I spent the night in the county inn. After passing through Linfen County in Jiangyi County and Linfen County in Pingyang County, it turned north through Yicheng County and Yang County and entered Yongan County.

In Yong'an County, Situ Yan stayed for one more day, and after Yong'an County was the border of Liangzhou. According to the records in the "Regional Chronicles", after leaving Sizhou and entering Liangzhou, there will be fewer and fewer county seats, and even the post road is not very easy to walk, so she must first adjust her state to the best before she can continue to hurry.

After a day's rest, Situ Yan felt that her physical condition was not bad, so she drove the mule cart out of Sizhou and entered Anding County in Liangzhou, and walked for nearly a day to Wushi County, from here to the north, to Chaona County, and into Gaoping County.

Although Situ Yan paid attention to the continuous rush, her body was still a little unbearable, especially after entering Liangzhou, when there was little water and drought, people and mules couldn't walk for a while, and they would sweat profusely. Situ Yan used to follow the four brothers of the Li family all the way from Youzhou to Sizhou, although the journey was long, she didn't have to work by herself to catch up firewood, so compared with that time, now she is all alone, and she is much more tired. Even those who are beaten with iron will be tired and lie down, not to mention that her small body, which is less than ten years old, can survive until now without getting sick, it is all God's favor.

What's more, along the way, there are still people beating her idea. Of course, I also saw that she was just a child and went out alone, but she was always scared away by the snow wolf, and Situ Yan was very good at reading people, so she escaped three disasters and nine calamities and arrived safely in Gaoping County.

I first found an inn and stayed, "Guest officer, you don't have an adult to follow you when you go out, I don't know where you are going?" At the beginning, the shopkeeper saw that Situ Yan was young and didn't want to keep guests, until Situ Yan paid a tael of silver and asked for a room, and then he smiled on his face.

"Go north to find your family!"

"Then you can come, after our county, and then to the north of a barren land, that is, walking for half a month without even a personal home, if you are in a hurry, you can buy more food to bring, I see that your age is too young, if you have enough money it is best to hire two dart masters to follow, out of the county, that area is not peaceful!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" For these businessmen, Situ Yan only dealt with them casually, it was okay to find out the news from these people, but if you want to have a deep friendship, you don't have to.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you, a few days ago, were there any officers and soldiers escorting prisoners who were exiled to the army to pass by here?"

"Yes, yes, but it's been more than a month since you left, and there's someone you're looking for?"

"My eldest brother is an escort official, and there is an urgent matter at home, so I am here to spread the word!" Where could Situ Yan let the shopkeeper know that she was going for those prisoners, if he knew that this store would not be a trivial matter, it would be troublesome to provoke the government's investigation.

"I said, if there is no urgency, how can I let such a baby come out to deliver letters. It's just that you have to rush, and there is a month before and after, so it is a lot of footsteps? "This shopkeeper is also a self-cooked. This moment of hard work, just you, me, and I'm called, all of them have lost the politeness they just met.

"Let's do our best!" Situ Yan saw that the guest room had arrived. I stopped asking the shopkeeper, went into the house and asked for some hot water, and took a bath for myself and the snow wolf, and then rested.

She also listened to the shopkeeper, and decided to stay in this city for one more day, so that she could raise her body better and then hurry.

She's barely going well here. Duanmu Xuan was much smoother than her, and although the 15 personal guards were all wearing civilian clothes, they could ride horses. Wearing a knife, not to mention a gangster, even a ringing horse, they all hide far away. The second day after Situ Yan entered the city. He also entered the county seat of Gaoping. It's just that he lived in the best inn in the county, and although the two were in the same city, they didn't see each other.

"Young master." Protecting Duanmu Xuan is naturally the ink style of the "Iron and Blood Team", "Although this road is smooth, we can't be careless, it's better for us to live in the post station, guarded by officers and soldiers, and it will be safer!" ”

"No, I don't. There are many people in the post station, how can there be quiet in the inn! "Duanmu Xuan doesn't like to deal with officials who are sloppy. So along the way, he only stayed in the inn, although his official position was not high, but his father was the prince Taibao, the Duke of Liangren, not to mention the county order and the county guard, even the assassin Shi nodded when he saw him, and he looked like a slave. Therefore, in Duanmu Xuan's eyes, the inn with a mixture of fish and dragons is much quieter than the post station guarded by officers and soldiers.

Mo Feng understood the temper of the young master, if it weren't for the safety of the young master, he would not persuade him, seeing that the young master insisted, he had to let his subordinates cheer up, guard the young master well, and don't have accidents.

"Mo Feng, you go and inquire, I've heard of this Gaoping County, and then the north is barren and populated, ask how many days you have to walk if you ride a horse in this area, and we will also prepare some things, don't let the master stop drinking when the time comes?"

"Don't worry, the young master has prepared it early in the morning. But young master, you also drink less, and drinking too much of this wine hurts your body? ”

"Mo Feng, when did you become more nagging than the Duchess of Guo. Let's go out, let me be quiet! As soon as he remembered that his mother had held his hand and chattered incessantly before leaving the door, he trembled all over, and even his interest in drinking had decreased a little.

One night was peaceful, and the next day, Duanmu Xuan took Mo Feng to take a good walk around the county, and only at noon did he let Mo Feng go to the county government to inquire about Wu Jin.

He himself waited in the restaurant with his entourage, and entered the private room of the restaurant just after Mo Feng at noon, "Young Master, my subordinates have inquired that Young Master Wu has been escorted away a month ago. ”

"It's good to be alive!"

"Young Master, you are in such a hurry, is it possible that you want to catch up with Young Master Wu?"

"By the way!" Duanmu Xuan meant a little bit, but he didn't mean it too deliberately, as he said himself, just casually.

"By the way, Mo Feng, do you remember the kid who sold lanterns in Xinchang County?"

"My subordinates remember, that kid's kung fu is good, and even the young master has suffered his losses!"

"Who said that your grandfather suffered a loss, I don't care about him, otherwise you think you can escape from your master's palm with his ability?"

"Yes, the subordinates are ignorant, please punish the young master!"

"Don't punish you at every turn, could it be that you have masochistic tendencies?"

"Nope!" As soon as Mo Feng replied no, he saw that the young master was looking at him with a face that wanted to watch a good show, and he knew that the young master was laughing with him again. This young master is good at everything, but he is not as serious as the old master, and he will laugh at them from time to time.

"Okay, I'm not a father, you don't need to be serious, let me feel depressed!"

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!"

"Well, I didn't say it!" Duanmu Xuan sighed, this ink wind has been following him for a day or two, but this serious problem is just like his father, and those who don't know think that this ink wind is Duanmu Li's biological son.

"Before we left Beijing, I also saw that kid, but he was taller than that time in Xinchang County, but unfortunately I couldn't recognize it at a glance at that time, so he ran away!" As soon as he thought of the kid who clicked on his acupoint, Duanmu Xuan's eyes lit up, he was rarely interested in anyone or anything, and he didn't know why he was so interested in an inconspicuous poor boy?

"He has some skills, Youzhou was first hit by drought and then insect plague, and then looted by the Turks, can he escape?" Mo Feng was also a little curious.

"I thought I was the only one who was curious, but I didn't expect you to be curious. If this kid is bumped into by me, I will definitely give him a good look. Let him also taste the taste of being pointed! ”

"No matter how good his kung fu is, he won't be the young master's opponent, but his subordinates can see that the young master likes that poor boy very much?"

"I don't like it, but I'm very interested, Mofeng, think about it, it's very rare for a poor boy from a peasant family to not only be able to export chapters, but also set up stalls to do business. Coupled with some fist and foot kung fu, I can't understand how his origin will never be as simple as it seems? ”

"At that time, the young master still had something to do, so he didn't have time to investigate carefully, and then it was a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, but since he was able to escape from Youzhou, and now he has entered the capital, there will always be a time to meet?"

"Yes, it's just that now that we are in the northwest, I don't know how long we will have to wait for this day of meeting?" Duanmu Xuan's heart just felt a little regretful. After all, there are too few people who can arouse his interest.

Mo Feng looked at the somewhat lost young master, and looked forward to the poor boy who couldn't even remember his appearance, thinking that if he could meet again one day, he would definitely help the young master win over this person, even if it was to let the young master have more playmates.

The master and servant chatted energetically, and Situ Yan, who was hiding in the inn, sneezed several times in a row, "It's not that my brothers miss me!" Don't read it anymore, or I won't even be able to sleep? ”

On the day Situ Yan rested, she didn't even go out of the door of the guest room, except for sleeping or eating, she planned to rest in this inn for a whole day. So where would she have thought that the person who read her was in the restaurant opposite the inn where she lived, otherwise this resentment would not be so deep, and it would pass directly through the wall.

It's not that the four brothers of the Li family don't want him, these four people are about to get sick, except when they were studying, they didn't even forget to think about Situ Yan's appearance when they were boxing and practicing archery, and they even dreamed that she would go back quickly. It's just that they're too far away for the longing airwaves to travel so far.

After more than a day of rest, her whole person is not a hundred times more energetic, but she also feels a lot more relaxed, plus more than a day of tonic, although there is no long meat, but the vitality is still a lot. With Wu Jin in mind, he didn't stay longer, and early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, he drove the mule cart out of the city with the snow wolf, all the way to the northwest.

Duanmu Xuanyin arrived a day later than Situ Yan, so he rested in the inn for one more night, and the two did not meet, this may be God's arrangement, the fate of the two has not arrived, so "no chance to meet on the other side", although close but separated again. (To be continued......)
