Guo Song rushed out of Chengdu City, and after running north for several miles, he turned back from a fork and ran southeast at a fork.

Xue Tao was really puzzled and asked: "Guo Lang, you should go north when you go back to Chang'an, why did you turn to the south?" ”

"It's too dangerous to go north, no matter how fast we go, we can't go as fast as the pigeon letter, the first few passes and patrols will inevitably be strictly checked, with my stature, it is estimated that it will be difficult to mix up, and going south will surprise him, and Jianzhou is your father's territory, Zizhou and Luzhou he has almost no control, relatively safe, we take a boat directly from Luzhou out of Bashu, to Jingzhou, and then from Xiangyang back to Chang'an."

Xue Tao saw that Ai Lang was thoughtful, and his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but kiss him on the face, Guo Song laughed, "Let's speed up, find a place to buy some food, try to find an inn, try not to spend the night in the wild, the night is too cold, it will freeze your body." ”

"You can make a campfire." Xue Tao said a little shyly.

Guo Song saw that her face was a little pale, and her dress was a little thinner, so he took off his cloak and wrapped her tightly, "Let's see the situation!" If you can't do it, you can only light a campfire and spend the night. ”

Xue Tao was wrapped in a wide cloak, she snuggled tightly in Ailang's arms, feeling the warmth brought by his body, she had an extremely satisfied sense of security in her heart, and she just wanted to go on like this forever.

After running for more than ten miles, there was a farmer in front of him, Guo Song bought two pieces of bread and a killed chicken at a high price, and continued to urge the Fire Dragon King to run south.

.........

The birthday banquet was coming to an end, Cui Ning finally found the clues of Guo Song and Xue Tao, two hours ago, a tall man rode into the north city gate, and his horse did carry a young and beautiful woman.

After listening to the description of the man's figure by the captain on duty guarding the city, Cui Ning was almost certain that the people who broke into the city gate were Guo Song and Xue Tao.

Prior to this, Xue Xun and his wife had already left with King Zhao, and the matter had apparently returned to peace, but Cui Ning sent more than 2,000 henchmen to search the whole city, and informed all the scoundrels in Chengdu that once they found a tall young man from other places, they must report it immediately.

The reason why Cui Ning is determined to win Xue Tao is not only to covet her beauty, but more importantly, when Xue Xun's family just arrived in Chengdu, the famous Fang Shi Xu Yuanchang accidentally saw Xue Tao and was very shocked, he told Cui Ning that this Xue Tao has the appearance of the emperor's mother, which is unspeakably expensive, which makes the ambitious Cui Ning begin to pay attention to this young girl.

Cui Ning himself asked for a signature in Qingcheng Mountain more than ten years ago, and there were only two sentences on the sign, 'Four or five are respected, Jiazi Feilong', and the old monk did not say it explicitly, but said that he would understand it when he arrived.

Ten years ago, he led the army to defeat Guo Yingyi and seize control of Xichuan, he was exactly forty-five years old that year, Jiazi should be sixty years old, and there are still five years from now, Cui Ning has realized that he is very likely to divide Bashu at the age of sixty, maybe for the feudal town, or as the emperor, and now he is basically half a feudal town, Cui Ning's ambition is greater, and he hopes that he can ascend the throne and become the emperor when he is sixty years old.

And Xue Tao's appearance is faintly in line with his fate, 'having the appearance of the emperor's mother, it is unspeakably expensive', Xu Yuanchang's words took root in his heart, making him feel that this is the will of heaven, which made Cui Ning want to get this young beauty at all costs.

Cui Ning did not hesitate to issue several warrants, ordering 3,000 light cavalry to chase north, and then used flying pigeons to send a message, informing many passes in the north to strictly check those who went north, and all men over six feet tall were detained for examination.

Perhaps they hid in the counties of Chengdu Prefecture, and Cui Ning expanded the scope of the search to the entire Chengdu Prefecture, dispatching tens of thousands of soldiers to search.

........

At the beginning of the night, Guo Song's fast horse had already galloped out of the boundary of Chengdu Mansion and entered Jianzhou, although his war horse Fire Dragon King was strong and full of physical strength, but it could not withstand the high-intensity gallop for several hours in a row.

There was no one in this area, Guo Song had to find a leeward stream to sleep out, he lit a bonfire, found a copper cup from the horse bag, and said with a smile: "We are lucky, there are still cups?" ”

Xue Tao sat by the bonfire with her legs crossed, and she smiled and said, "Doesn't Guo Lang often boast of his rich experience in surviving in the wild?" Can't you drink water without a copper cup? ”

Guo Song filled a cup of water with a copper cup and walked aisle: "I can drink water by cutting a bamboo tube, and I can drink it even if I lie on the stream, but your body is a little weak, you can't drink raw water, you have to boil it to drink." ”

"Guo Lang, burn a cup of milk tea! I love the milk tea you make. ”

Guo Song nodded, he made a shelf out of wood, hung the copper cup on the shelf, put a piece of cheese and a little tea cake, stirred it gently with a slender dagger, and after the water boiled, a rich milky fragrance came to his nose.

Guo Song poured half a cup for Xue Tao with a cleaned bamboo tube, handed it to her and said with a smile: "Drink it while it's hot, and your whole body will be warm." ”

Xue Tao held a bamboo tube and drank milk tea, she had never used a bamboo tube to drink tea, this breath of wild life made her feel quite fresh, she drank tea while laughing and watching Ai Lang busily flip the baked bread and broiler chicken on the fire.

"Guo Lang, I'll bake the dough!"

"No, you drink tea to warm up your body."

Guo Song said with a smile while busy: "Don't look at the scones turning over like this, in fact, it's not simple, if you are not careful, you will bake paste, and it will be burned by the fire, this cake is cooked, you can eat it when it is hot, or break it into small pieces and dip it in milk tea to eat." ”

Guo Song handed her a piece of baked hot cake, and made a gesture to let her break it into small pieces and dip it in milk tea to eat, Xue Tao nodded with a smile, carefully broke off a piece, dipped it in milk tea, and ate it little by little.

"It's delicious!" She smiled and praised.

Guo Song sprinkled a little salt in the dough and dipped it in milk tea, which was particularly delicious.

Guo Song took a bite of the dough cake, drank hot milk tea, and slowly flipped the wooden stick wearing the roast chicken, Ji gradually roasted into a golden brown, and the oil bubbled outward, which looked particularly attractive.

..........

At night, Guo Song rode a horse and ran slowly on the official road, they did not stay by the stream for a long time, Cui Ning would sooner or later think that they were going south.

Xue Tao hugged him tightly, his head resting on his shoulder, already asleep, and in the hollow gold bottle around his neck, the night pearl emitted a faint white light.

Guo Song wrapped her soft body in a cloak, hugged the beloved woman in his arms, and controlled the horse with one hand.

The stars were shining overhead, the moonlight was bright, and the fine stars were spread like jewels on the velvety sky, and at this moment, his heart was as gentle as water, and he hummed a favorite song from his previous life.

Don't talk about the past

Life has been stormy

Even if the memory can't be erased

Love and hate are still in my heart

It's really going to be broken

Let it continue tomorrow

Don't bother asking me about it

Loving it is a problem

It's dizzying

Forget about the pain, maybe it's okay

It's not easy to forget about you

You've never really left

You are always in my heart

........

Inadvertently, Xue Tao woke up quietly, she didn't move, but quietly listened to the song humming by Ailang, this was a song she had never heard before, unconsciously, the words in the song deeply moved her, and her beautiful eyes slowly moistened.

"Are you awake?"

Guo Song lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

"Hmmm! What's the song you're humming? ”

"The lyrics of the hometown song were changed by myself, do you like it?"

Xue Tao nodded lightly, and she whispered coquettishly: "I want you to sing to me again and coax me to sleep." ”

"Good! I kept singing. ”

Guo Song hummed softly again:

Because I still have dreams

I still keep you in my heart

It's always easy to be moved by the past

It's always heartache for you

Don't linger in the years

I have no intention of tenderness

Don't ask me if we'll see each other again

Never mind if I'm insincere

Why don't you understand

As long as there is love, there is pain

You'll find out one day

Life wouldn't be different without me

Life has been rushed

I'm so scared and always teary-eyed

If you forget me, it doesn't hurt

Leave the past in the wind

........

At this moment, the years of his previous life suddenly poured into Guo Song's heart, it was so clear, it was so unforgettable, and it made him unforgettable.

His wife, his daughter.

At this moment, Guo Song was already in tears.
