Chapter Ninety-Five: Treat Me Like a Woman for the Time Being
Nie Yuan saw Allure two days later, and she came in the dust, which surprised Nie Yuan.
"Why are you here?" Nie Yuan asked.
"Childe and His Majesty are missing." Allure said straight to the point as soon as they met.
"Your Majesty is in the capital, how could he be missing? And the prime minister...... He was in Connecticut for disaster relief, how could he be missing? Nie Yuan asked, already a little anxious.
"Your Majesty Weifu came to Connecticut for a private visit, and a few days ago I went out with my son, and I was chased and killed on the road, and my whereabouts are still unknown." Allure replied briefly.
After Nie Yuan briefly understood the situation, he told his father about it.
"The emperor's assassination is a matter of great importance, but since the emperor is visiting Weifu, there must be his intentions, and we must not publicize it in a big way." General Nie analyzed rationally.
Later, he said: "According to the girl in Allure, the instigator behind this matter should be King Chen, and the target is Prime Minister Qiu."
"The emperor and the prime minister are in danger, we still have to help quickly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Nie Yuan said.
"The Nie family's army can't go out without a military talisman, but as a father, you can hand over the government soldiers at home to you, and you lead them to Kangzhou, take over the defense, and look for the emperor and the prime minister." General Nie said.
His approach, while somewhat pedantic, is indeed the best way to do it. If troops are sent to Connecticut to relieve the siege, on the one hand, there will be loopholes in the border defense; On the one hand, such an act may expose the traces of the emperor in Connecticut, and if King Chen knows about it, he will definitely send more people to hunt down and kill the emperor. At that point, their situation will be even more precarious.
As we all know, the emperor ordered Nie Yuan to protect Qiu Luoxue, and now that she was assassinated and hunted down, Nie Yuan will definitely come to the rescue after receiving the news. This will not only expose Xia Zimo's identity, but also control the situation in Connecticut very well.
After a brief discussion, Nie Yuan, on the one hand, as the leader of the shadow guards, issued an order to the hidden shadow guards in various places to gather outside the city of Connecticut. Subsequently, he led the Nie family's government soldiers and set off for Kangzhou. The matter was serious, and everyone did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurried to Connecticut. A group of people set off from Quanzhou in a mighty way, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, stirring up the remaining snowflakes on the ground, and in the cold wind, the anxious atmosphere became even stronger.
Of course, the most anxious thing is Nie Yuan, the person in his heart is being hunted down, but he is not around. In a hurry, his horse was faster, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind, making his figure even more erect. The resolute eyes, not afraid of the cold wind, still exuded a scorching light.
There are hidden shadow guards everywhere, and there are people with any identity. There are inns, restaurants, brothels, and some who seek jobs in various local government offices. After they received the news, they closed the door, asked for leave, and went to Connecticut City together. Because of the different distances, the time of receiving the news is also different, but after receiving the news, they did not dare to delay and immediately went on the road.
At the same time, several groups of people also set off in the capital, divided into different directions. The same quick whip seems to be in a hurry. No one dared to stop them along the way.
"This should be the last good show a year ago." Xia Ziyan stood on the city tower and looked at the people who were speeding up their horses and whipping out of the city.
In the past two days, Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue are still hiding their identities and avoiding the chasing soldiers, which is an exciting and frightening experience. The two bought some clothes at the ready-to-wear store for a change of clothes. Qiu Luoxue is still a woman's dress, and today she is wearing a white dress, the skirt is a pale pink, and there are embroidered patterns underneath. The skirt is covered with a pink cape, which matches the overall look. This outfit is very in line with the characteristics of her personality, lively and with the atmosphere of a little girl.
Xia Zimo's clothes are black as a whole, but the cuffs, neckline and waist are decorated with golden silk threads, his cloak is also black, and there are white fur on the hat and cuffs, which looks very warm and exudes an aristocratic atmosphere.
Of course, this kind of dress is not suitable for walking or riding a horse, so they also hired a carriage, Xia Zimo served as the coachman, and Qiu Luoxue sat comfortably in the car. Later, it was too boring, Qiu Luoxue also went outside the car to sit with Xia Zimo, and the hems of the two of them were mixed together, like two close hearts, inseparable from each other.
"Eh, this road seems to have been walked." Qiu Luoxue saw that the surrounding environment was a little familiar, so she said.
"It's the way you came." Xia Zimo replied.
"Why do you have to walk the way you came, do we want to go back?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Back to Connecticut." Xia Zimo replied simply.
"What? Back to Connecticut? Isn't that self-defeating? Qiu Luoxue said emotionally.
Xia Zimo looked sideways at Qiu Luoxue and asked, "Are you so afraid of death?"
"Of course." Qiu Luoxue replied very honestly.
Although she looked very serious, Xia Zimo was amused.
"You're still laughing." Qiu Luoxue said, "Didn't we come out of Connecticut just to escape for our lives? It's a dead end to go back now, I knew this earlier, why did I desperately escape in the first place. ”
"For this." Xia Zimo said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Qiu Luoxue.
Qiu Luoxue opened the piece of paper and saw that it was full of names, all of which were names that Qiu Luoxue didn't recognize, and asked, "What is this?"
"A list of officials from the places we're passing through these days." Xia Zimo replied.
"List of officials, is there any use?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"It's an official controlled by King Chen in various places." Xia Zimo said again.
"How do you know that?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
Xia Zimo pointed to Qiu Luoxue's eyes and said, "Observe."
"Observation?" Qiu Luoxue muttered, "Why didn't I observe it." ”
"Because you're stupid." Xia Zimo said unceremoniously.
"How can I say it so directly, I don't want to lose face." Qiu Luoxue had an unhappy expression.
Xia Zimo didn't mind her expression either, and asked, "There are two kinds of places we pass by, one is very strict, and the other is very loose, which one do you think is problematic?"
Qiu Luoxue thought for a moment and said, "Check the loose, because they didn't fulfill their duties."
Xia Zimo shook his head after hearing this and said, "When it's not wartime or when there are important wanted criminals, there's no need to be so strict. And didn't you notice that the officers and soldiers guarding the gates were holding our portraits? If we hadn't pretended not to be discovered, we would have been caught. ”
"Do you have a portrait of us? I really didn't find out. Qiu Luoxue said.
"That's why you're stupid." Xia Zimo said with a smile.
"You're stupid, it's really ......" Qiu Luoxue was excited and forgot that she was in the carriage, as soon as she moved, the carriage stuck on the stone again, and there was a shaking, so she fell to the side.
"Oh, Mom......" Qiu Luoxue shouted in fright.
The moment Xia Zimo saw Qiu Luoxue falling from the carriage, he immediately let go of the reins of the carriage, flew up and grabbed Qiu Luoxue's hand with one hand, and wrapped one hand around her waist. The distance between the carriage and the ground was not very high, so they only stopped in the air for a short time and fell to the ground. At this moment the carriage lost control and ran all the way forward, and the horse only cared forward as he ran, and did not care about dragging the carriage behind him, and the cart crashed into the trees, and it did not take long for it to be completely scrapped.
Qiu Luoxue's direction happened to see the process of scrapping the carriage completely, and with a crying and laughing expression on her face, she said, "It's over, our car is gone again."
Hearing his words, Xia Zimo looked behind him, and when he saw the broken carriage, he was really speechless.
"Why are you so careless, still moving around in the carriage, what are you going to do if I didn't catch you just now?" Xia Zimo turned around and taught Qiu Luo Snow Road.
"But you still caught me, Your Majesty's life-saving grace, the little girl is unforgettable." Qiu Luoxue said jokingly, and made a woman's salute.
Xia Zimo looked at her movements like this, hooked his lips and laughed, and said, "You think you are a woman like this, this illusion is not good."
"For the time being, you can treat me like a woman before you return to Connecticut." Qiu Luoxue looked up at Xia Zimo and said.
"But don't be emotionally emotional, that's dangerous." Qiu Luoxue said again.
Xia Zimo replied with a smile: "Okay, I will hold back."
After a farce is over, you have to face the real problem, the car broke down, the horse ran away, and now only the legs are left. There is no shop in front of the village here, and I don't know how long it will take to meet people.
"Walking again, walking every day." Qiu Luoxue said aggrievedly.
"We used to have a carriage, and I don't blame you." Xia Zimo said, but there was no blame in his tone, but full of spoiling.
"It's not because you say I'm stupid." Qiu Luoxue retorted.
"I just told the truth, why are you so excited." Xia Zimo laughed.
"I'm just too lazy to think about it." Qiu Luoxue said.
Walking while chatting like this seems to be much better, at least relieving Qiu Luoxue's irritability. However, it is really not good to have bad physical strength, until the sun sets, Qiu Luoxue really can't walk.
She tugged on Xia Zimo's sleeve and dragged forward with heavy steps behind her. And Xia Zimo didn't look tired at all, he deserved to be a person who practiced martial arts, but it was different.
Along the way, Qiu Luoxue also rested many times, but the more she rested, the more tired she felt, and now she has almost no strength to move forward.
"Aren't we going to take a break?" Qiu Luoxue asked weakly.
"We can't rest anymore, the sun is already setting, and we won't be able to reach the village in front of us before dark, so we'll have to camp in the wilderness." Xia Zimo looked at the gradually setting sun and said.
He looked back at Qiu Luoxue and found that she was weak, so he suddenly felt distressed and asked, "Can't you walk again?"
Qiu Luoxue nodded aggrievedly.
"I'll carry you." Xia Zimo said and squatted down in front of him and gave his back to Qiu Luoxue.
"No need, you're tired after walking for so long." Qiu Luoxue said that she didn't want Xia Zimo to be so tired.
"It's okay, you're not heavy." Xia Zimo said, looking relaxed.
"Moreover, you are a woman for the time being, and I am your lover for the time being, and I should carry you." Xia Zimo added.
Under Xia Zimo's repeated urging, Qiu Luoxue still let him carry himself.
As the sun went down, the last of its warmth shone through the bare trees. Only the footprints of Xia Zimo were left on the ground, but they contained the footprints of two people.
