In a humble tavern.

Meishuang ordered a pot of good tea and began to order the dishes seriously.

Yunkong sat quietly opposite Meishuang, her eyes were so colorful, this woman was able to wrap herself so tightly, it can be seen that she really wants to hide her gender.

At this moment, Mei Shuang's porcelain-white face is pink because of the running, there are still fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and there are still a few strands of wet hair stuck to her forehead, making her look more pretty and lovely.

Even the shopkeeper who came to listen to the order looked at Meishuang with a little straight eyes, and said with a smile, "Hehe, this little brother really looks like a handsome, just like the person who came out of the painting, if the little brother is that daughter, he must be a beauty."

Mei Shuang looked up and down, there was nothing wrong, and then she knew that the shopkeeper was joking, so she gave him a little broken silver, and said with a smile, "If the food is as good as you say, it is really good."

Meishuang's smile can be described as a spring blossom, and the shopkeeper came back to his senses after a long time, and hurriedly ran back to the back hall with a promise of "good".

Alas, this man is good-looking and tempting.

In fact, when ordering food, Mei Shuang quickly sorted out the previous contact with Yunkong.

The first time I met, I helped him, but he didn't say goodbye;

The second time was when the Jokhang Temple prayed for the Queen Mother. The strangeness of the Buddha statue in the main hall frightened her, and when she almost fell, Yunkong held her and said "be careful" in her ear, which made her vigilant. She understood the meaning of the phrase "be careful". Could it be that Yunkong knew who she was early on, so he specifically sued her? And what should she be careful about? However, she was not only wearing a mask at that time, but no one knew her whereabouts except for the emperor and King Zhao, he was just an ordinary monk in the Jokhang Temple, how did he know? But it doesn't make sense to say that he doesn't know himself at all.

In this way, when she glanced at the cloud sky in front of her, she only felt that the other party's inky pupils were even more bottomless

After a series of questions swirled in Meishuang's mind, she couldn't understand the essentials, so she could only let Yunkong drink more tea to relieve the heat.

While all kinds of thoughts were circling in Meishuang's mind, Yunkong was also thinking about how she came out of the palace? Why leave the palace? And why do women disguise themselves as men here? You must know that this woman is extraordinary, if she hadn't escaped by herself, it would have been difficult to escape the control of others

The two of them sat opposite each other, drinking tea slowly, but they had their own thoughts.

In the embarrassing atmosphere, Mei Shuang didn't forget about the heavy snow and clouds, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Why didn't you leave without saying hello?" Is your brother alright? ”

"I still want to thank you, but I don't dare to bother more." Yunkong stared at Mei Shuang and explained.

"Oh," Mei Shuang stared at the teacup in front of her, "it's just a gesture." ”

In my heart, I was wondering whether to take the initiative to ask Yunkong about the Jokhang Temple, but I swallowed it after all. When you go out alone, you can be described as helpless.

And although the other party seems harmless, at present, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is friend or foe, and it is better for her not to mention it.

The meal came up, and the two of them began to eat with chopsticks.

After a few bites, Meishuang asked again, "How did you come here?" Alone? ”

"Well, yes, I'm leaving the Jokhang Temple," Yunkong replied.

"Leaving the Jokhang Temple? Why? ”

Mei Shuang said curiously, and when she raised her eyes, she happened to stare at her in the clouds, and her thoughtful appearance made Mei Shuang slightly stunned.

At that moment, Meishuang's mind flashed like a flash of lightning.

- Jokhang Temple Palace, the man in black who broke through the window robbed the dying queen Meiru, and in the face of the stunned Meishuang, the eyes that appeared under his black scarf mask, yes, absolutely yes, it should be a person.

I said how that gaze was so familiar, as if it had been seen somewhere.

It turned out to be him!

That's right, it was he who attacked the people in the palace that night, and risked his life to save Mei Ru.

He turned out to be with the disappeared queen Meiru!

Surprised, Mei Shuang broke out in a cold sweat, her hands shook, and the dishes in the chopsticks were not clamped firmly and fell under the table.

Yun Kong saw that Meishuang's face suddenly changed color, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Ahh Since he had seen himself that night, and since he was Mei Ru's person at all, he should know his true identity. Moreover, since he is with Mei Ru, isn't that his sworn enemy?

For a moment, Mei Shuang was secretly annoyed when she was dizzy, careless!

Just now I was an acquaintance of him, but now that I meet him, wouldn't I have fallen into the net? My own defense is too inadequate.

Seeing Mei Shuang clutching her chest in pain, the shopkeeper in the restaurant was so startled that he hurriedly came over to Zhang Luo, "Hey, what's going on?" I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem with my dish! Don't be a slanderer! ”

Yunkong was also taken aback by Meishuang's pale face, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Mei Shuang squinted at the surprised diners next to her, and then at Yunkong, her face was painful, and she waved her hand and said, "It's time to eat a bad stomach, I'm sorry, I'll come when I go." ”

After speaking, he staggered straight to the back hall.

When she came to the back hall, she straightened up and quickly climbed to the wall of the courtyard to inspect the terrain.

This small restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by private houses, and the narrow alleys lead in all directions, like cobwebs, and should be able to hide.

Having made up her mind, Meishuang took out a bit of broken silver and threw it to a guy in the back hall, and then ran out.

After not seeing Meishuang come out for a long time, Yunkong was a little worried, and when he asked the guy, he said that he had left early.

Yunkong instantly understood, secretly screamed badly, and turned to leave.

Mei Shuang walked alone on the narrow street with her burden, watching the sun set, the people who went out to work returned home one after another, and the curling smoke rose in the distance, and the bright and innocent laughter of the children playing in the streets and alleys made Mei Shuang envious for a while.

She simply found a place to sit down and watch the young children play hide and seek as if she were resting.

Alas, this carefree day has never been experienced for a moment since she came to this Great Qin Kingdom, and she can't even sleep with half her eyes open. It can't be helped, this thrilling thing is always one after another.

For example, just now, even though she felt that Yunkong was mysterious, she never thought that this monk Yunkong of Jokhang Temple was actually Queen Meiru's person. That first time, she took it upon herself to take them in, which made Nangong Nuo unhappy, and she also had a lot of words, it seems that she was wrong, and her vigilance was too bad. Perhaps, that time it was Yunkong who deliberately approached him, or maybe he didn't dare to do it because of the large number of people.

Now, Queen Mei Ru is outside the palace and meets Yunkong, do you say that she is far from the Mei Ru who hates to peel her skin and cramp?

Although intuitively this Yunkong has no ill will towards her, isn't it written on her face that people are good and bad.

In the distance, Yunkong stood behind the haystack, quietly looking at Mei Shuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and looking at the frolicking children with one hand on her cheeks.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the figure looked thin and thin, and in the slightly narrowed eyes, the expression was a little confused, like a lost child, which inexplicably made Yun Kong's heart move.

Just now she recognized herself and ran away with a trick, it seemed that she was already wary of herself, so she couldn't go over face to face, but she couldn't let her leave again.

Looking at the sky, it seems that you can only wait for it to get dark.

Mei Shuang was in a daze, and was suddenly frightened by the sudden pat on her shoulder, and subconsciously got up and turned her head to look, surprised, "Lin Tian'er? ”

Lin Tian'er stood behind her with a smile, she was very proud of the success that scared Mei Shuang, and the slender jade pointed to the small burden on Mei Shuang's shoulder, "Lin Shutong, what are you doing here?" ”

Mei Shuang then remembered that Lin Tian'er was out of the house these days, looking like that, she was in the dust, she had just come back, and she didn't know that she had left.

"Oh, me, I'm going to go out for a walk," Meishuang looked around and diverted the subject, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I just came out of the fourth uncle's mansion and sent him something, and when I came out, I saw you here in a daze, it's not close to my house, why did you come here?"

Obviously, the shrewd Lin Tian'er was a little puzzled by Meishuang's words.

"Uh, this" Meishuang thought for a while and said honestly, "I should go to Jiangnan, I just quit today"

Lin Tian'er felt a pity when she heard it, but she heard that this fair-faced Lin Shutong was not full of poetry and books, but he and her younger brother complemented each other.

After thinking about it, he said proudly, "It's not early today, for the sake of your dedication to serving my brother, I will invite you to dinner tonight, and you will leave tomorrow." ”

Mei Shuang waved her hand again and again when she heard this, "This can't be helped, I've already resigned, how can I bother again?" I'm sorry, I'm quitting, I'm leaving! ”

Seeing Mei Shuang's panicked expression, Lin Tian'er was even more puzzled, and said in her heart that this Lin Shutong was staying at home well, and suddenly said that he would leave, could it be that this Lin Shutong stole something from his house or had some unsightly problems to leave in such a hurry? No, she'll have to ask.

Lin Tian'er stopped Mei Shuang, "Why are you in a hurry?" Now that it's getting dark, you have to stay until tomorrow when you go to Jiangnan, right? Let's go, I'm asking you to give you money."

Meishuang smiled bitterly, "I really can't go back!" I-"

Before the words fell, I only heard a familiar voice, "Sister, why are you still here?" Father told me to come to you—huh? Lin Shutong? ”

Seeing Meishuang, Lin Yuan, who came to pick up Lin Tian'er, was surprised and delighted. Frustrated, he didn't expect to meet Meishuang here, and Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Meishuang turned around and ran away in fright.

How could Lin Yuan let go of this opportunity? It wasn't that he didn't want to chase when Meishuang ran away, he was stopped and reprimanded by the forester, how could he let go of this rare opportunity now?

In the end, people are tall and have long legs, and Mei Shuang didn't run far before she was stopped by Lin Yuan.

The panting Mei Shuang could only look up at the sky and sigh, but she really couldn't see the heat in Lin Yuan's eyes. It seems that today is to avoid this and not to hide from that.

She stubbornly wanted to talk to Lin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, this Lin Yuan was really bold enough, and he stepped forward and hugged him directly.
