Chapter 68: The march into the mountains

He waved his sleeves as he spoke, and the fat powder mixed with the sweetness diffused.

She smiled puzzled when she heard his tone, but she was confused when she smelled it.

"Baize...... Wait a minute...... You ......" she closed her eyes in thought, looking him up and down.

It wasn't until her gaze stopped at the place where his waist was slightly bulging that she seemed to understand a little, and her fingertips pointed lightly.

This time it was Bai Ze's turn to be puzzled, and he reached out in confusion and untied a red brocade sachet.

She suddenly realized, grabbed Bai Ze's sleeve and sniffed it carefully, Huo Di raised his head and stared at him: "Yu Bai Ze!" It turns out that the scent on your body is this! ”

The faint smell of wood and fat powder on the sleeves is obvious, but the slightly greasy sweetness she smells is actually from the sachet?

"yes, what's wrong?" Bai Ze raised the sachet to his nose, "Isn't it a little fragrant, an old man of mine gave it to me and said that it was an anti-snake, insect and rat ant, so I put it on." ”

Her face changed slightly, but she dared to ask, "Can I trust you?" ”

Bai Ze looked grim and replied seriously: "Naturally, you can." ”

"This sweet smell is many times stronger than this in a person, so I feel a little different. Is he of medium height, with soft eyes and a charming look? She gestured.

If she guessed correctly, this sweet fragrance is somewhat strange with the playful Baize, and it is very suitable with the charming eyes and personality.

Even if Bai Ze wears women's clothes, he is attractive only with his skin and bright eyebrows, even if he is charming, he is only deliberate, except for women's clothes, he is a white and warm young master. There is no arrogant and blatant evil spirit that the person can't hide even if he wears men's clothes.

Sure enough, Baize's face was gloomy. Looking at her, he said, "Where did you see that man?" ”

She was shocked in her heart, and Bai Ze did not deny it. So everything is true?

She has to believe in him.

"He is Zotai's master, and they once mentioned that the thunderbolt was Zotai's stealing of the blueprints to the Qingping Sect, and he did it lightly...... No, I don't think it's like light work, it's like flying. She hesitated, but confessed.

As soon as the words fell. Bai Ze straightened up suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyes looked at Ruoyun for a while, looked at the sachet for a while, and finally fell to the top of the big tent, and hesitated to speak:

"Who else knows about this?"

"Qingping Sect, right?" She clenched her hands, knowing the gravity of the situation.

Bai Ze sighed heavily, and actually smiled bitterly: "What else is in line with heavenly principles." Now I met the old stubbornness. ”

"How?" She asked.

"Do you remember that Qing Xuan once said that this firearm drawing belongs to the palace with a different surname?"

She nodded.

Bai Ze clasped his hands together and clapped his palm: "That's not the end, now I finally know how this drawing flowed out." ”

"He's a mole?" Ruoyun said casually.

His face became strange, and he suddenly turned to her. "I don't know if he is a traitor, but at least he said that he should be able to find out the reason for this matter."

He said. He suddenly assured in a solemn tone: "Don't worry, you should stay out of this matter." No matter how bold the Qingping Sect is, it will not openly act with me. ”

She nodded, knowing she hadn't trusted the wrong person.

If you believe in the wrong person. Just now she was involved in secrets, and I am afraid that she has already died and has no place to bury.

Bai Ze's heart is really as bright and transparent as his person, but he is by no means an ordinary horn, but very smart.

"With this as proof, girl, you can take it out in an emergency." He handed her a small cloth bag three or four inches long.

She took it, put it in her arms, and let go of her hanging heart.

Bai Ze didn't talk much, and after a few instructions, he said that he would go out to reorganize the army.

"Baize?" He walked to the tent door, and Ruoyun called out to stop him.

"Huh?" He turned around, only to see her pale face with a slightly malicious smile.

"You said you hid 'a lot of money' in Yunzhou?" She asked knowingly, raising her eyebrows.

Bai Ze smiled on his face and swallowed his saliva: "What, girl, you go to bed early, you have to return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, I'm leaving." ”

Ruoyun looked at the "God of War" who everyone feared and left as if she were running away, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Laughing, suddenly the poison that had not been attacked for a long time seemed to begin to eat away at the abdominal cavity, and a little pain spread from the abdomen to the heart, and the back of the head throbbed, making her break out in a cold sweat again.

In the middle of the night, it rained lightly, and in the early morning, the rain gradually increased, and looking around, the original loess Shazhou city was gray at the moment.

The sparse green trees are sparse, and the spring rain pushes the change of seasons, peeling off the gloom of winter little by little.

The advance army was in a hurry to return to Beijing and set off at dawn.

It was still cold early in the morning, Ruoyun shrank her hand and nested in the car, Bai Ze didn't know where to find a stove for her, and a small stove was built in the four corners of the carriage, she just sat like this, and she felt warm.

is so warm, like the days of walking with Bai Ze and Cheng Qingxuan, but the past seems to rise with the green smoke of the stove and can no longer be found.

The assassins of the two states stayed behind for the time being, and the whole army was waiting for the emperor to be recalled.

Rong Yixuan insisted on setting off together, but along the way, he delayed or went first, always deliberately going around.

The master was silent, and the soldiers naturally did not dare to come out.

There were only more than 1,000 people who returned to Beijing, and they all hurried silently, and no one dared to ask about the people in the car.

It's just that it's the king's relatives.

Cheng Qinghe occasionally hurried to her carriage to chat with her, but she was not interested at all, and she did not react after a few words.

In the capital, the emperor is mighty and will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

However, the birds of Baize came with the news that the selection date was set, and they would not be able to catch up if they were not fast.

Ruoyun suddenly shrunk, not knowing what would happen when she returned to Beijing, and her hesitation was obvious on her face.

Bai Ze said that he would try his best to hurry up and think again.

He abandoned the carriage and hastened his march, and in the eyes of everyone, there was one more person on the king's horse, but this man remained silent, wrapped in a cloak, and did not say a word to the king for a long time.

And Lord Rong's face became more and more gloomy day by day.

A few days later, Yunzhou City was also left behind.

The day of the primary election is getting closer and closer, but this trip to the capital is still separated by Yao Huashan and Yizhou.

Bai Ze only turned a deaf ear, and resolutely led the army into the narrow official road of Yao Hua Mountain.

It is said that the climate in the mountains is unpredictable, and the outside of the mountains is different everywhere.

Although Yaohua Mountain is not high and towering into the clouds, it can stretch for hundreds of miles, at first it is still arid and has little vegetation, the more east it is, the more verdant it is, the branches and vines cover the sky and the sun, and only the artificially trimmed official road is eye-catching and winding in the mountains.

Riding a horse is fast, but when you reach a steep place, you still have to come down and lead the horse.

Baize's silver-white war horse seemed to be familiar with his intentions, and he knew where to go at the slightest touch, and he didn't need to be pulled by his subordinates at all.

However, Vice General Chen's red horse was frequently frightened, and he broke up the team several times, causing everyone to complain.

Ruoyun sat on the horse expressionlessly, looking at the team winding in front of her, the leader's blue shirt almost sank into the green, but it was not far away, but it was far away, but she happened to see it.

Rong Yixuan's subordinates were moving very quickly, and the half-day effort had already left Wang's army far behind.

The climate in the mountains is changeable, and at first it was just foggy, and after a while, it was already white.

After a while, it suddenly began to pour down, which caught the team by surprise.

Ruoyun was beaten by the cold rain, only to realize that she was not like a battle-experienced soldier who could ignore the heavy rain.

Watching the big raindrops fall over the leaves one after another, they have been drenched in soup in a blink of an eye.

Bai Ze suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Ruoyun on the horse, and suddenly said, "Get off the horse." ”

She suspected that she had misheard, but Bai Ze clearly looked at her through the helmet, and his hand was stretched out towards her.

She turned over with his hand, and her body was wet and cold, and Bai Ze's hand was terrifyingly cold for some reason, not knowing whether it was armor or something else.

"Do you want to find a place to shelter from the rain? We are not like you, we can't withstand this heavy rain......" Cheng Qing and horses not far away rushed over, one turned over and landed, blocking the rain curtain on his eyebrows with his hand, with a depressed face.

"Qinghe, where is Chiyan?" Bai Ze didn't answer his words, so he asked.

Cheng Qinghe scratched his head, not knowing why: "What are you asking about now?" I rarely see him, who knows where he is, I think we should find a place to shelter from the rain. As he spoke, looking at it from a distance, in addition to the tree or the tree, Yao Huashan, who had been riding fast for a few days, did not expect such a bad situation to happen to him.

Ruoyun pursed her lips and was silent, if it was usual, the pampered Bai Ze had already thought of a way to avoid the rain.

All around was the sound of horses' hooves and rain, and nothing else.

She instinctively sensed something unusual.

The same heavy rain poured, and the same quiet weirdness, like that night......

Worry and fear slowly spread from the bottom of my heart to my whole body, and my heart was cold and flustered, better than the clammy cold around me.

She shuddered, but saw Bai Ze approaching slightly.

"Girl, you can do whatever I ask you to do in a while." The voice was soft, but clear, and she was the only one who could hear it.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruoyun gritted her teeth and nodded, and Bai Ze walked away a few steps satisfied.

Cheng Qinghe complained disapprovingly, the soldiers all wore cloaks, but he, the officer of the "Rongwang Army", had already thrown away his big clothes and armor in addition to simple clothes and armor.

Ruoyun only stood in the rain but didn't realize it, she was very nervous, wondering how much meaning Bai Ze's words contained.

If there was a mistake, he wanted her to run for her life?

Her hands clenched suddenly, and she watched Bai Ze calmly command hundreds of men and horses to move forward slowly.

If there is no chaos, is he not afraid, or does he not care?

She only now found out that this prince, who didn't care about the sky falling on weekdays, could face the people and things around him so calmly, almost for a moment, he had already made up his mind.

But what about himself......

As soon as her shoulders sank, a heavy fell on her, and the warmth hit, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the white feather that was knotted at the neckline.

Surprised, she turned around, but it was General Chen, who led the fierce horse to catch up, threw her own cloak, and without looking back, she went to Bai Ze and said something. (To be continued......)
