In the afternoon, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo finally walked out of the desolate area and arrived in Yangcheng, although the city was small, it also made Qiu Luoxue happy.

"Wow, finally seeing people. Let's go and find the county order of Yangcheng. Qiu Luoxue said that she was about to enter the city gate.

Xia Zimo grabbed her from behind and said, "You can enter the city, but you can't go to the county order."

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue didn't understand what he meant, so she asked.

Xia Zimo replied in an almost heavy tone: "Most of the officials of the Thirteen Southern Cities are under the control of King Chen. Among the people we hunted down that day were Chen Wang's men, so I deduced that it was most likely that Chen Wang did what happened this time. ”

"Then can't we ask for help, should we go north and return to the capital?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Although she has been in this world for more than half a year, she still doesn't understand the distribution of Great Qin's forces. In fact, the main reason was that she didn't care before, plus Xia Zimo didn't want her to get involved in these dangerous things. Otherwise, with her identity as prime minister, it would be easy to obtain this information.

"Not necessarily. Although most of the officials were under the control of King Chen, General Nie and his Nie army in Quanzhou were still under my control. Xia Zimo replied.

His words reminded Qiu Luoxue of Nie Yuan, the man who held a long sword but matched the flower.

"Yes, Jeonju, Nie Shishi is also in Jeonju, we can go to Jeonju to find him." When it comes to Nie Yuan, Qiu Luoxue can always have a sense of security.

"We don't have to go, he'll come." Xia Zimo said.

"Will it come? But he probably doesn't know about our side of things. And it's about to come to Mrs. Nie's 100-day festival, so he shouldn't come. Qiu Luoxue said that the matter of the Hundred Days Festival was known in Nie Yuan's letter.

"If something like this happens, Hanshan will definitely find a way to inform Nie Yuan." Xia Zimo said, looked at the gate of Yangcheng, and said, "Let's stay in Yangcheng tonight, let's go."

The pursuers, led by Fang Weibing, continued to search along the road taken by Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue. The search team led by Hanshan and others is also searching. The Allure who went to Quanzhou to report the news quickly advanced on the official road.

The days are short in winter, and the nights are unexpected. At night, the temperature is even lower, and from the window, it is freezing and snowy outside, and there is nowhere to hide from the cold.

Xia Zimo closed the window of the inn tightly, turned back to Qiu Luoxue and said: "Yangcheng is very small, only this inn, although it is simple, it can only live together."

Qiu Luoxue sat on the bed, looked at Xia Zimo opposite, and said, "It's okay to be simple, but why don't we live in two rooms, and you don't have no money." How do you sleep with only one bed here? ”

"You can also live in two rooms, but what if those people catch up and find you? I don't care, I have enough power to protect myself, do you? And I seem to remember that the person they were going to kill was you. Xia Zimo said, pretending not to care.

Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo with resentful eyes, and said, "It's not because of you that I'm like this, if it was the silver given by my subordinate Zhao Governor's Mansion, maybe there wouldn't be these things."

"Their goal is you. Collect it or not, the result is the same. Xia Zimo said.

"How can it be the same?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"If you accept it, they will say that you have accepted bribes, and you will enrich your own pocket with disaster relief funds, and they will sue the emperor to ask for your deposition." Xia Zimo explained, "If you don't accept it, it's the result like now." ”

After listening to him explain Qiu Luoxue, she understood the deep meaning, and sighed: "Wow, this is really a proposition."

"But...... Why did they target me like this, I didn't usually offend them. Qiu Luoxue said aggrievedly, I don't know when there were suddenly more enemies around. It's really speechless.

"Not for you, it's for the person sitting in the phase. Unless their own people sit in that seat. Xia Zimo walked towards Qiu Luoxue as he spoke.

"Do they want their own people to be prime ministers? But the prime minister of Great Qin has always been served by the Qiu family, and it won't be their turn. Qiu Luoxue said.

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue and said, "The Qiu family has been in your area for three generations, and you are not married yet, and you have no heirs. Kill you, the Qiu clan has no queen The phase will naturally fall into the hands of others That person must be someone under King Chen. ”

"Then should I hurry up and get married and have children." Qiu Luoxue is just casually talking.

But hearing this sentence in Xia Zimo's ears triggered his association, he definitely couldn't watch Qiu Luoxue marry another woman.

"You don't have to do that, I will protect you and won't let you die, so you don't need to get married, and you don't have to have children."

"But one day I have to get married and have children." Qiu Luoxue said.

"It's going to be like that one day, but it's a day late." Xia Zimo said that his mood was a little more melancholy when he mentioned this question.

Even if you try to postpone that day, it will be like that one day. What will his love do when that time comes?

Nie Yuan, who was far away in Quanzhou, read Qiu Luoxue's letter to him under the oil lamp, and Qiu Luoxue's appearance appeared in front of him again.

"Count the days, the last letter has been sent for a long time, and she should have received it, why hasn't she replied yet?" Nie Yuan muttered to himself.

His eyes fell on the letter in his hand, and the first line read: Nie Shishi, I miss you, when will you come back. If you're not with me, there's no one to protect me......

Reading Qiu Luoxue's straightforward words, Nie Yuan couldn't help but hook his lips and laugh, he could think of Qiu Luoxue's expression and tone when she said this.

It feels good to be with Qiu Luoxue, and he likes it too. However, he knew that Qiu Luoxue was someone he couldn't think about.

He recalled that when he returned to Daqin from Beize, Qiu Luoxue was sick. That night, he walked outside Qiu Luoxue's room and wanted to find her. But I saw the emperor in her room.

He saw that the emperor bowed his head and kissed Qiu Luoxue's forehead, and at that time he knew that Qiu Luoxue was someone he couldn't touch. No matter who Qiu Luoxue is, there is one thing that remains the same, that is, she is the emperor's person.

That night, he tossed and turned, thinking back to the moments he had with Qiu Luoxue, every moment was so beautiful and unforgettable. So he decided to be the one who guarded Qiu Luoxue. Hide your feelings and chew on the beauty only when you're alone late at night. In this way, you can stay by Qiu Luoxue's side for a long time.

That hand, if you don't hold it, you won't feel its warmth; That person, if he had not carried it, would not have felt its lightness; At that moment, if the heart had not been moved, it would not have been so difficult to give up. If he could do it all over again, he would love her again.

"Because it's too warm, because it's so beautiful." This is the reason why Nie Yuan fell in love with Qiu Luoxue in the final analysis.

The capital, in the middle of the imperial palace......

"Lord Yan, this is the letter that Your Majesty asked the servant to hand over to you before leaving." Jin Fu handed a letter to Xia Ziyan.

Xia Ziyan took the letter, opened it and asked, "Why did you give it to me?"

"Your Majesty's orders will not be given to you until today." Kim Bok replied.

Xia Ziyan was even more curious, so he picked up the letter and read it. In the process of reading the letter, his expression was very rich, first frowning, then confused, then suddenly realized, and finally suddenly laughed "haha".

"It turns out that the royal brother fought this idea, so I'll just say, he is definitely not a reckless person." Xia Ziyan said.

"I know about this, you go and prepare." Xia Ziyan suddenly said very seriously, his serious appearance was somewhat similar to Xia Zimo.

"You're going to sleep on the ground today, hard work." Qiu Luoxue said to Xia Zimo.

"Who said I'm going to sleep on the ground?" Xia Zimo asked.

Qiu Luoxue was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Don't you sleep on the ground?" There's only one bed here. ”

"Now that I have a bed, of course I'm sleeping." Xia Zimo looked like a matter of course.

"How can this be? Nie Shishi and I went out and he slept on the ground. Qiu Luoxue said.

"I have a higher status than him, and of course I am not the same as him." Xia Zimo replied.

"Do you want me to sleep on the ground?" Qiu Luoxue asked in shock.

"Then Aiqing thinks, me or you, who is more suitable to sleep on the ground?" Xia Zimo asked in a very light tone, and even smiled.

Qiu Luoxue thought about it, indeed, in terms of status, she seemed to be more suitable for sleeping on the ground, but when she saw the cold ground, she really couldn't bear to let her little body bear this kind of grievance.

"But it's so cold on the ground, I'm going to get sick." Qiu Luoxue frowned.

Xia Zimo showed a very soft smile and said, "I will get sick too."

"......" Qiu Luoxue was speechless in an instant.

"If you don't want to sleep on the floor, I can barely give you half of the bed." Xia Zimo moved his body as he spoke, patted the vacant seat next to him, and said.

"Don't be reluctant, you can sleep in bed in peace, what about me, I'll sleep on the ground today, although you won't see your prime minister when you get up tomorrow morning, but it's okay, you can sleep well." Qiu Luoxue said angrily, and the meaning in her words was obviously sarcasm.

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep, you should go to bed early." Xia Zimo said that he really just lay down and fell asleep.

"Heh......" Qiu Luoxue really didn't expect that he would sleep so peacefully, which was really annoying.

Looking at Xia Zimo's back lying on the bed, Qiu Luoxue raised her fist angrily, and then turned away from him, which can be regarded as a manifestation of anger.

Who knew that she had just turned around, and suddenly her feet left the ground, and when she looked closely, she was already in Xia Zimo's arms.

"Let's sleep together." Xia Zimo said and hugged Qiu Luoxue to the bed.

This scene...... Well, Qiu Luoxue admitted that she blushed, her heart moved, and she began to reverie.

Close to Xia Zimo's chest, Qiu Luoxue could feel his strong muscles and beating heart. Her hands wrapped around Xia Zimo's neck, looking at his handsome face and deep eyes. She had sunk into those inky eyes. And in his eyes, only the appearance of Qiu Luoxue is printed.
