Chapter 196: Escape

Hearing this, Tana showed a look of shame, the Turks have always been warlike, but this time because of the disaster, the loss of a large number of war horses, the decline of the army, is the Turks in the face of foreign enemies of the serious lack of combat power, so it is necessary to use a woman to exchange the breed of war horses, horses, and because of the selfishness of Prince Helian Jin, but the woman was tied back to the Turks, and even wanted to take her for himself, this behavior does seem a little despicable.

I just wanted to say something apologic, but when I turned around, I looked at Gu Qingwan's smiling face, and for a moment, she was about to ask the reason, when she suddenly stabbed lightly in her hand, her body was sore, and the words in her mouth turned into a soft moan, and the person had fallen, barely lifting her senses, and she felt that her will was rapidly blurring.

Gu Qingwan squatted down, looked at her eyes that were about to close, and said softly: "This medicine is not unique to the Turks. I also have it in my hometown, which was originally put around just for self-defense, but I didn't expect to use it on you, you have a good rest, no matter what, you don't have to apologize to me, we are also even. ”

The beautiful tone of voice accompanied Tana's consciousness as it sank into darkness......

Standing up and checking all the ornaments on her body again, Gu Qingwan stayed where she was for a moment, although she had inquired about all the situation in the Turks for a few days and made detailed plans, she still had to think carefully and take every step before she could really leave here.

Looking up at the sky, Gu Qingwan smiled lightly, flicked her sleeves, she clarified the direction, and turned to leave.

"Wanwan, you have to remember that the world is like chess, you must not deviate from one step......" The stunning face was close to Gu Qingwan's eyes, and there were tears of Chu Chu on it, but there was perseverance in the desolation.

stretched out her little hand, but she couldn't reach the face of the person in front of her, tears, desolation, and beauty, all seemed to be blurred, Gu Qingwan suddenly panicked, and murmured in her mouth: "Mother, mother...... What's wrong with you? "Why does the mother, who is usually free and straightforward, show such a sad look?

“…… No matter how beautiful the face is, it will one day become red and white, in this world, nothing is eternal, and feelings are as ephemeral as fireworks. Don't trust others easily in the future......"

"Mother...... Don't cry anymore," the little hand finally touched her mother's face, gently wiping away the hot tears, Gu Qingwan smiled and comforted the other party, "I will never trust others easily in the future, and my mother should stop crying." ”

The beautiful woman finally showed a faint smile, took Gu Qingwan's little hand, walked forward, and said softly: "What's the matter if you're drunk, I'm just afraid that when you wake up, you're afraid that your intestines will be broken...... Wanwan, I gave you the near-perfection that all women in the world want, but I taught you indifference since I was a child, do you understand my hard work? ”

"As long as you don't fall in love with others, you won't be miserable, as long as you are indifferent to feelings, you won't be sad......" The voice gradually faded, like a veil of fog, becoming more and more hazy.

Mother...... No...... Don't be sad anymore......

"Mother-" A sharp voice pierced the air, suddenly waking up from the darkness, Gu Qingwan gasped rapidly, her heart was still cold, beating irregularly, panicked and irrepressible, a slight sweat appeared on her back, she took a deep breath, and adjusted her mentality. When I looked up, a loving old face enlarged in front of my eyes.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" The old woman leaned over, her wrinkled face full of concern, "Is it a nightmare?" ”

The sloppy eyes came back to her senses, Gu Qingwan smiled with relief, and said softly, "It's okay." As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was hoarse. Turning his head to look around, the sound of wheels came into his ears, and when he looked down, there were three people lying in the carriage, in different postures, as if they had not been awakened.

Secretly relieved, Gu Qingwan gently leaned against the wall of the car, calmed down, and all the things of the past day shook in front of her. After enchanting Tana, she escaped, and according to what she inquired a few days ago, she picked a few people alone and went to Xicheng in the summer capital, where the Great Zhou and Turks mixed together, and it was also the place where she could hide the most. Changing into a cloth garment and covering her face with a cloth, she still felt unsafe until she ran into this caravan and the troupe, and she used a silver ribbon to buy the troupe master and set off with her. With a faint smile, she unconsciously reached out and stroked her cuffs, her silver ribbon was made of white gold silk and heavenly silk that Chen Yuan asked to skillfully weave. Regardless of their own value, there may only be seven roots in the world.

No matter how precious the ribbon is, it can't be more precious than your own safety, and now, you have to return to the Celestial Empire by any means......

With a flick of the cuff, his thoughts became a little chaotic again, and the dream just now was haunted in his heart again, how long has it been...... I have never had this dream again, why did I suddenly think of the past again, the bitterness and depression melted in my heart, could it be that I was facing a dangerous situation, so I remembered the past again......

Can't trust anyone...... In the world, the only one you can rely on is yourself......

Mother's words are still in my ears over and over again, but my heart feels painful, like a pinprick, spreading from the bottom of my heart, my pupils are looking at one place without focus, Gu Qingwan smiled bitterly, Mother, I can't trust anyone, how lonely I am......

Where is my sky?

"Girl, do you think of your family?" The old woman's voice suddenly sounded again, interrupting Gu Qingwan's somewhat depressed train of thought.

"yes, I remember some things from the past." Gu Qingwan smiled faintly, although it was not clear in the dark, the ethereal voice in that voice seemed quite unreal.

"Girl, when the day is almost dawn, you will enter the border between the Celestial Empire and the Turks, and then you will walk for two more days, and you will reach the border of the Celestial Empire. You can go home......" The old woman was full of anticipation, and her deliberately low voice could not hide her excitement.

"Girl, what is bothering you?" Seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't speak, the old woman spoke alone, "Don't worry about things when you encounter troubles, if you can't decide something, you can decide it by heart." Sometimes, the conflict between reason and emotion depends on what your heart says......"

"Heart ......" muttered mockingly, wanting to open her mouth to refute, but she couldn't speak, and suddenly remembered that a certain man had told her that she was satisfied, and the situation at that time suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was startled.

"Girl, how did you come here?" The old woman didn't seem to be able to sleep, so she pulled Gu Qingwan and muttered, "Why do you go on the road alone, you know, women can't go out without men......"

"It's really not very safe on the road," the voice suddenly came from below, and when he looked down, he found that the three people who were sleeping in the carriage had woken up, and when they heard the conversation between Gu Qingwan and the old woman, they all sat up, and the woman in yellow said, "If there are no special circumstances, who will go out alone." ”

Seeing her glance at herself, Gu Qingwan retreated a little into the darkness.

The women in the carriage couldn't sleep anymore, sitting together and chatting, and the space that was still a little lonely was suddenly filled.

In the midst of the noise of the woman's chirping, the woman in yellow suddenly looked back at Gu Qingwan and asked, "What about you?" ”

Before she could fully react, Gu Qingwan looked dazed and said consciously: "What? ”

"We're asking you, how did you end up on the road alone?"

After being silent for a moment, it was naturally impossible to tell the truth, Gu Qingwan replied indifferently: "I don't want to be a burden to others, so I came out alone." ”

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the three people, only the old woman was silent thoughtfully. Gu Qingwan closed her eyes and said no more.

Why did she want to escape alone, in fact, the reason is very simple, she doesn't want to be a burden to Chen Yuan, the Turks tied her up, Helian Jin suppressed and didn't dare to offend her much, this all shows one thing, what they want to exchange must be extremely important things, maybe it is related to the nation-state, she only does what she can, that is, don't become a burden to Chen Yuan.

Now the most important thing is to go back to the capital, spread the news, and don't let Chen Yuan go to the summer capital to exchange.

My worth is up to me, and no one is at the mercy of my fate...... Gu Qingwan said silently and affirmatively in her heart.

When the carriage was lively, there was a sudden noise outside, which was originally just a little, but suddenly spread out, gradually getting bigger, and the carriage immediately became quiet, Gu Qingwan was puzzled, and asked lightly: "What's going on outside?" ”

The faces of several women seemed to become nervous as the noise became louder. The woman in yellow climbed to the entrance of the car, gently opened the car door and took a look, turned around, her face was pale, and said seriously: "It seems that I have met a horse thief." ”

Two exclamations sounded in the car, and the woman in yellow glared at them fiercely, and shouted: "What are you panicking, be quiet." ”

Calm returned to the car. The carriage was originally the tail of the caravan and the theater troupe, and the sound of the fight did not seem to be in sight.

"It's too dangerous, let's jump out of the car now." One of the women proposed, her expression flustered, and her speech was a little incoherent.

"Can you live by jumping? What kind of place is this, in this wilderness, if you don't follow the convoy, you will definitely die halfway. The woman in yellow spoke again, her expression a little impatient, "There is no other way now, take out the money quickly and put it together, is there anything like ash or mud now?" Let's get some and put it on your face. ”

Infected by her calm attitude, several women got busy, took out money one after another, and found some black powder out of nowhere, the woman in yellow first grabbed some, smeared it on her face, and scattered her hair, which suddenly became unkempt, seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't move, she pulled her over and said, "Don't you want to live?" Grabbed the ash and was about to wipe it on, when he suddenly saw Gu Qingwan's face exposed to the faint light, and he was stunned for a moment.

"You ......" came back to her senses, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to say it, grabbed a large handful of black ash, and smeared it on Gu Qingwan's face, applying it very carefully, while instructing, "Wait until you follow me, don't show off." Putting down his hand, he still felt uneasy, and sprinkled some black powder on Gu Qingwan's body, and then turned his head to focus on the others.

The sound outside seemed louder and closer, and several women sat in a group, looking at each other.

There was no sound in the dark, only the nervous and rapid breathing of the people in the car, but Gu Qingwan felt calm, and her whole state of mind reached a clear state.

The car door suddenly sounded a sharp beat, and several women looked at it at the same time, and with a "click-" sound, the car door was opened.
