Ten long and dark days, after ten long days, on the morning of the eleventh day, a rattan descended from the mouth of the cave and swooped down like a small snake on the red stone.

The mist that permeated Redstone's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his two pupils were about to come out.

He threw his head up, his hands held high, his heart beating wildly, and he could not miss the opportunity to escape.

Redstone leapt to his feet, clutching the tail that tried to shake him off, and leaping up the vertical wall with both feet.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the entrance of the cave.

Sunshine surrounded him excitedly, kissing his face and kissing his eyes, as if Redstone was his loveliest son.

He put his hand in front of his forehead and squinted his eyes, accustomed to the darkness of his eyes, unable to accept the enthusiasm of the sun for a while.

Slowly, he saw his surroundings clearly. He was in a quiet wood, with no people, no respite.

The wind whistled the fallen leaves, and the branches rustled the ground.

People who visit this cave every day have stepped on an inconspicuous path.

Walking along the trail, at the end of the trail, Redstone realizes that he hasn't made it out of the woods.

"Strange! Why is there no way? Did he start flying from here? If you can't find him, you can't find Miaojin, how can this be good? ”

Depressed, Redstone turns around the woods several times to no avail, and finally decides to try his luck back at the Fortune Inn.

Redstone's feet had barely stepped into the inn door, and a man turned around and ran to the back kitchen.

Redstone quickly followed, grabbing the man's right shoulder: "Stop! Did you bring me the food? ”

"Uncle spare your life! Uncle spare his life! "This guy is the second child who has fed Redstone several meals.

"Say! Who told you to do this? ”

"I don't know who it is, a masked man."

"Male or female?" "Male."

"Fat and skinny? How tall? ”

"And ...... It's about the same size as the uncle. Xiao Er glanced at the redstone.

"Is it really Ma Sanbao?" Redstone said secretly in his heart.

"What about the man and the woman who lived with me?" Redstone continues to interrogate.

"They were all gone the second night."

"Second night? Did you bring them food before the second night? ”

"They are the same as the uncle, they are tied up, and they are small ones to be fed."

Hearing that Ma Sanbao was also tied up, Redstone began to wonder if he was wrong to blame him, or was he acting?

Forget it, I don't have time to think about these now, and the most important thing is to find Miaojin.

Redstone hurried to the room where Xu Miaojin had stayed.

There was not a glimmer of light in the house. The light that broke in through the open door was also deterred by the threshold.

Redstone ran to the window and pulled back the thick curtains, and the scene in the room became clearer.

His eyes swept to the round table, where there was a baggage.

It's the burden of Miaojin!

Redstone rushes over to unwrap his baggage, and inside is Miaojin's clothes.

"Miaojin!" The worry and sadness of ten days rushed out of his throat, and he wanted to cry loudly.

"Hmm~" A faint voice came from somewhere.

Redstone looked around, and a person was lying upright on the bed.

He hurried to the bed. Xu Miaojin half-closed her eyes, as if she was awake.

"Miaojin!" Redstone screamed, her body shaking.

Xu Miaojin tried to open her eyes, but in vain, she spit out a word sullenly: "Dizzy!" ”

Redstone stretched out his hand and rested it on Xu Miaojin's pulse.

The pulse beat weakly, Redstone's heart was steady, and the living Miaojin finally returned to his side.

"Miaojin, eat this!" Redstone called softly, and gently stuffed a pill into Xu Miaojin's mouth.

Half an hour later, Xu Miaojin slowly opened her eyes.

"Miaojin, are you awake?" Hongshi sat beside the bed and looked at Xu Miaojin with affection.

In this quarter of an hour he thought about many, many things, none of which had anything to do with his future.

He remembered that when he first saw Xu Miaojin, her cuteness, when he detoxified her, her gratitude, and the bits and pieces in Qingshou Temple, he confirmed his love for Xu Miaojin.

"Red Stone ......" Xu Miaojin's well-defined lips twitched twice, and before the words could be spoken, tears rushed out of her big fluttering eyes.

"You're fine, don't worry!" Redstone said, "It's all in the past. ”

Thousands of questions circled around his mouth, and finally turned into a word of comfort.

"I, I've been drugged ......," Xu Miaojin said.

"I'll seek revenge on him!" Redstone clenched his fists.

"You can't find him, this man has come and gone without a trace. I met him when I first arrived in Beiping, and luckily escaped. Didn't expect ......"

"You've met him? Did he ......" Hongshi wanted to ask Xu Miaojin if he was hurt, but he was afraid of touching Xu Miaojin's sore spot, so he braked in time and changed his words, "Why does he keep staring at you?" ”

"I don't know...... He didn't, he didn't do anything to me, he just locked me up these days. That's right, Prince! Let's go save the prince now! ”

Xu Miaojin propped up the bed on her elbows and struggled to sit up.

"Miaojin, your strength hasn't recovered yet, let's rest first."

"No, no, the strength of the medicine is almost over, I'm fine, we have to save the prince, it's too late!" Xu Miaojin grabbed Hongshi's arm with both hands and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Redstone helped her out of bed and slowly walked out of the room.

Redstone went to the inn's stable to find two horses, and he asked Xiao Er, "Have you ever ridden these two horses recently?" I need a horse with fast feet and good stamina. I'm going to Yingtian, and I'm going to ride for four or five days without stopping. ”

"The guest officer has good eyesight, these two are the fastest of our horses. They've been resting for two days, and they should be fine by the day. ”

"Okay, I'll just want these two horses."

"Guest officer, there are many rules these days, so you should be more careful."

"A lot of rules? What's wrong? Redstone's hand froze in his bosom for the silver, and a sense of foreboding arose.

"The prince is gone, and the whole country mourns......"

"What? Seriously? Redstone's heart sank suddenly, and his body trembled.

"Seriously! How dare the grass people make such a joke, it's going to lose their heads. Notices have been posted on the streets, so please go and see for yourself, guest officer. ”

The mourning on the notice was impressively reflected in the eyes of Xu Miaojin and Hongshi.

Xu Miaojin's legs were weak, and his already weak body fell into Hongshi's arms.

"Miaojin, we did our best, everyone has a life. Don't blame yourself too much. Hongshi comforted Xu Miaojin and comforted himself.

Xu Miaojin nodded solemnly, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Hongshi, you go back to Beiping." Thank you for your hard work, running this trip in vain, and suffering so many sins. ”

"Miaojin, what are you talking about? The crown prince is also the benefactor of our Li family. I should save him more than you do. I'm not going back to Peking. King Yan is probably also on his way to Yingtian, and I will go to Yingtian to meet him. ”

"Hmm...... My brother-in-law is going back to the capital for the funeral, and my sister is expected to come too......" Xu Miaojin replied to Hongshi's words reluctantly, and her clear eyes were covered with a layer of fog.

"Miaojin, don't be sad...... Hongshi looked at Xu Miaojin distressedly, through those fogs, he saw Xu Miaojin's pure heart, not contaminated by the filth of the world, so soft, so kind.

Redstone is ashamed of himself, his revenge, his scheming is nothing more than an unbearable burden.

"I, I've been to the Water and Land Puja......" Redstone raised her voice, trying to find a cure to comfort Xu Miaojin.

"I know what life and death are all about. Six realms of reincarnation, you know? When a person dies, he has to go to one of the six realms, and the prince must go to the heavenly realm, and he has become an immortal......"

He returned to the capital and reported to the Lord on the successful completion of the mission.

Of course, this mission is different from previous missions, and it is more than just a mission for Chang Close.

"Lord, they were drugged in their meals."

The teacup that the Lord held up was put to his lips, but not a drop of tea was leaked in the teacup.

"Oh~" He nodded with a smile, as if he was aiming at like-minded people, "I really underestimated King Yan's ambitions, hahaha, I told you to run this trip in vain!" ”

He shook his head gently, pursed his mouth, the corners of his mouth turned up, and absentmindedly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

He is not as proud as the Lord, but his heart blooms with the most beautiful flower in the world.

After leaving Shili, he changed his usual habit of diving into the darkness and came to a secluded tavern.

He sat alone in the corner, accompanied by a pot of wine, sometimes smiling, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes holding up the cup and drinking it all, sometimes sighing, pushing the cup away a few inches.

One image after another appeared in his mind, but none of them were the darkness that had haunted him for more than thirty years.

Chang's hometown is in the westernmost part of the Ming Dynasty.

His mother gave birth to him and died in childbirth. When he was three years old, his father was worried that no one would take care of him and married him a stepmother.

As a result, this kindness was like a moon in water, not only did it not receive the effect expected by his father, but he became the most pitiful child in the village.

The father gritted his teeth and made up his mind to divorce his stepmother.

However, the officers and soldiers took the lead and arrested Chang Yu's father to build Jiayuguan.

From then on, his world was stepmother and darkness.

When he was ten years old, the Lord delivered him out of the sea of misery with two taels of silver.

The Lord taught him to dance with a sword and a sword, and his thin body and bones grew stronger and stronger, but his broken heart remained at the age of ten.

The night was the hardest time for him, and he did not dare to sleep peacefully, for fear of being whipped awake in his sleep.

The Lord told him to kill the man who would whip him, and he did.

One dark night, he kills his stepmother and, at the same time, falls in love with the dark.

At this moment, the darkness is gradually moving away, there is only darkness, how can the flowers in his heart open?

A drop of wine slowly rolled down from his lips, and the swing dangled mischievously on his full chin.

He reached out and wiped off the drops of wine, and Xu Miao's lips appeared in front of him.

Not only her lips, but also her eyes, her eyebrows, her nose, and her nose were all carefully examined.

He stayed with Xu Miaojin for ten days, gently caring for her and not letting her suffer a little sin.

Of course, he also has regrets.

Xu Miaojin can't feel the happiness of that time like him, this kind of encounter because of the task, this kind of relationship that is not what you and I want, is destined to be imperfect.

He took another sip of wine, and the aroma of the wine became more and more mellow, nourishing the flowers that bloomed in his heart.

He made up his mind to let this flower bloom forever, and believed that it would be more and more beautiful and fragrant.
