Liu Yingxue felt a trace of warmth in her heart, although she had lost everything, Gao Mingxuan's appearance not only saved her from the fire pit, but also gave her hope and reliance.

"Thank you, cousin!" She looked at him gratefully, the once weak boy was now able to take charge on his own, compared to the delicate face of his youth, now his contours were sharp and angular, and his facial features were as deep as a knife carving.

The rest of the road was not stable, and the city they were going to pass through had been occupied by the rebels, and it was full of exiled people, who had to leave their homes with their children and daughters.

"I wonder if Your Majesty is a saint?" Gao Mingxuan looked at the bleak scene outside the carriage and couldn't help frowning.

Liu Yingxue's eyes were sad, when she was in Kyoto, she heard that the Jiedu envoys had rebelled, and they formed a rebel army.

"The Jiedu envoys are local officials, and His Majesty is also very kind to them, why do you want to do this?" She blinked and was puzzled that all the tragedies stemmed from the rebels.

Gao Mingxuan spread out her hand and gestured two words on her hand, his face was pale, and he said word by word: "Xiaoxue, people's desires are not satisfied, the more powerful people are, the more they want to get more." ”

Listening to these words, she seemed to understand a little, she used to grow up in the deep boudoir, and her father and brother rarely mentioned the cruelty on the battlefield in front of her, if it weren't for this incident, she would have been able to have a good New Year in the mansion, and when the spring flowers bloomed, she would go out with other boudoir ladies, and all her dreams would be shattered overnight.

In order to facilitate the journey, Gao Mingxuan proposed that she dress up as a teenager, take off her women's clothes and change into a gray cloth robe, and her green silk hair was pulled into a men's bun.

"Xiaoxue looks good no matter how she dresses up." Gao Mingxuan smiled slightly, took out a dagger and handed it to her, "This is a gift for you, protecting your life in troubled times is the most important thing." ”

She stroked the bronze dagger, which looked small and sharp, and she hoped that she would never need it, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

When the carriage arrived at a small city, three or four days away from Lingyang City, Liu Yingxue lifted the curtain and saw a long figure walking in the crowd on the street, although it was only a hurried glance, it also shocked her, and immediately lowered the curtain.

"How?" Gao Mingxuan frowned and asked cautiously.

"He's here, he's here, why is it always haunting." Her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were full of horror.

Gao Mingxuan also lifted the curtain, he had met Nangong Jin, and the enchanting face was still fresh in people's memories, especially the phoenix eyes, which were breathtaking.

"Don't be afraid, he won't recognize you, let alone having me by your side, when you get to Lingyang City, he can't help you anymore." He took her trembling little hand and whispered comfort.

However, Liu Yingxue was very puzzled in her heart, as a medicinal herb merchant, Nangong Jin seemed to be too bold, where there was a war, she would sell medicinal herbs, in order to make more silver taels, she almost died.

She clenched the dagger in her hand tightly and slowly spit out a few words: "He is a strange person, as if he has no fixed place, and he is mysterious in and out, and he really does not look like a simple businessman." ”

"The situation is too chaotic now, I can't inquire about his identity, don't worry, even if he is a wealthy businessman, he can't threaten you." Gao Mingxuan looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and his eyes suddenly became a little colder.
