"You two have to go into the city, we don't even have any extra hair on our bodies, don't we have to sleep on the streets when we enter the city?" Su Zhao said worriedly.

Xia Chuxin threw a flying eye at him and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not be hungry with me." ”

Seeing that the three of them were back in the group, the old man turned his head and said, "I thought you wouldn't go into the city." There are no more cities in the surrounding hundreds of miles, and it would be best to stop in our ancient city of Jing if you were in a hurry. ”

Listening to this old man's tone, it didn't seem to mean to reject the Chu people at all, and he was sure that Su Zhao, an old thing, was lying. Xia Chuxin glanced at Su Zhao, but Su Zhao pretended to look away, and couldn't help but laugh, this old boy must have some ulterior secrets with this Jing Ancient City.

"Uncle, aren't there any Central Plains people in Jinggu City?" Xia Chuxin asked.

The old man said: "Yes, our ancient city of Jing is almost isolated from the world, and we still have to walk hundreds of miles from the nearest Yundu. On weekdays, not to mention the Central Plains people, even the Jingman and other ethnic groups are rare. ”

"Oh. I see. After Xia Chuxin confirmed the answer in his heart, he turned his head to look at Su Zhao and asked, "I said uncle, should you always tell us the reason?" ”

Su Zhao pretended to be calm and said: "Of course he is a flat-headed ordinary man who doesn't know about the royal family, you just don't believe me, young people will suffer sooner or later." ”

Seeing that he was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, Xia Chuxin stopped entanglement, anyway, there was always a chance to figure it out when he entered the city, even if he couldn't figure it out, it was not his point, so it was the right thing to rest here to replenish his strength and hurry south to ask for help from King Yu Guangliang.

When it was the turn of the three of them to enter the city, the guards at the gate interrogated a few people, for fear that they were spies sent by the Central Plains.

After two quarters of an hour, the defenders still didn't let them go, and Xia Chuxin said helplessly: "A few big brothers, you just look at the three of us in rags and dusty clothes, and we don't look like spies, whose spies can get mixed up so badly?" We are really innocent people who went south to find their relatives, and we were robbed on the way before we came to the city to rest. ”

A chubby leader of the defenders had a tangled face, not knowing whether to be credulous or not, and said: "We have not been to Jinggu City for decades without a foreigner, not to mention that you are still from the Central Plains, of course you have to be interrogated carefully." ”

"Then now that the interrogation has been crossed, can you let go?" Xia Duo was also a little impatient.

The gaze of the leader of the defenders wandered hesitantly between the three of them, and finally, he said: "I still don't worry, let three Central Plains people enter the city at night, in case you make trouble as soon as you enter the city, then wouldn't I be derelict in my duties?" ”

"Whew. Big brother, it's not that serious, or you lock us up at night and let us out during the day tomorrow, right? Xia Chuxin said.

"What? Locked up? That's not going to work, what kind of idea did you come up with? Su Zhao hurriedly said.

But the leader of the garrison suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you have a good plan, you will follow me to the guard camp in the evening, and then let you out when it is dawn tomorrow." ”

Xia Chuxin turned his head and glanced at Xia Duo, who stepped forward and said, "We didn't make a mistake, why should we be locked up, it's a big deal that we won't enter the city." ”

Hearing Xia Duo say that he would not enter the city, Su Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "That's it, we'd rather sleep in the forest than in the city, what kind of place are you breaking the rules." ”

The leader of the defenders held back his anger and listened to the two of them complain, and said, "You two talk so much nonsense, it seems that I must lock you up and not enter the city?" If you don't come up with some bad ideas in the middle of the night, come on, take the three of them to the guard camp, and lock them up after eating and drinking, and they will not be released until tomorrow when the morning drum sounds. ”

With that, four guards came out of the line and "invited" the three to leave. The brothers and sisters of the Xia family looked comfortable, only Su Zhao said noisily as if he was facing a great enemy: "You are too presumptuous, do you still have a royal law?" Let me tell you, I know your Ajia Tusi in Jing Ancient City. ”

"There are a few people in this Jingchu land who don't know Ajia Toast, so you better go obediently." A tall and thin guard said while pushing Su Zhao.

Su Zhao was still chattering.

"Hey, you bunny is still pushing me? Do you know who I am? ”

"You are really not afraid of death, tell you that Brother Zhao of the Central Plains of Ajia Tusi has arrived."

A sentence of Brother Zhao made the eyes of the Xia family brothers and sisters almost not fall out? Suppressing the churning disgust, he glanced at Su Zhao. Xia Chuxin blurted out: "It seems that this is still a peach blossom debt." ”

The soldiers defending the city didn't think so, thinking that this old thing was just a crude oil who wanted to climb Ajia Toast, what kind of identity did Ajia Toast have, that was the female god of war in Jinggu City, how could he know such a fat-headed and big-eared person. The garrison was not far from the city gate, and in a short time they arrived at the place, and the three of them were locked up in a small room, although it was a little simpler, but it was always sheltered from the wind and rain and did not have to sleep on the road.

The soldiers who had escorted a few people over handed over to the soldiers in the battalion and left. The soldiers in the battalion brought some hot meals to the three men, locked the door and left.

Su Zhao waited for Xia Chuxin angrily and asked, "You, you, we finally escaped here with our lives, why did you take the initiative to ask them to lock us up?" What if they don't let them go tomorrow? What if we are locked up for the rest of our lives? ”

Xia Chuxin held a steamed bun in front of Su Zhao, Su Zhao snorted and proudly did not reach out to pick it up. Xia Chuxin had no choice but to put down his hand and break the steamed bun and put it into his mouth, and said: "Uncle Zhao, listen to me, a few of us want money and no money, no things, even if we enter the city, there is no use, it is better to be locked up here at least to have a full meal." You don't have to sleep on the streets at night. ”

Su Zhao thought about it for a while, it seemed to be such a reason, and the entire net worth of several people was taken away by the fourth child, so he sat at the table and picked up a steamed bun and took a bite of it. What if you don't let us out tomorrow? ”

"We're just a few ordinary people from the Central Plains who have fallen into distress, and we're not some great big shots, so why shouldn't they let them go? Besides, didn't the leader of the garrison just say that he would let us out tomorrow when the morning drum was over, and then think of other ways if we didn't let it go then. ”

"Whew." Su Zhao sighed sullenly, slowly stuffed a chopstick, fried bamboo shoots with meat and meat into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Forget it, this king is out of the way, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, eat first, tomorrow I will go to death This king will also be a full ghost." ”

Xia Duo ate in a muffled voice and didn't speak, but Xia Chuxin knew that he was not without worries in his heart, in case something happened tomorrow, a few people just got out of the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's den again, for a full meal, it would be worth the loss.

"Big brother, don't worry, we will definitely go to King Guangliang safely." Xia Chuxin comforted.

Xia Duo looked up, looked at her determined gaze, and nodded heavily. I don't know why, although this sister is not very old, but it is very reassuring to follow her.

After the brother and sister were full, they leaned on the bamboo mat on the side and closed their eyes to recuperate, Su Zhao ate the steamed buns in his hand and stared at the two steamed buns on the plate, and asked, "Are you two full?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll eat them all." As he spoke, Su Zhao pushed all the plates and bowls on the table in front of him, and a gust of wind swept away the food on the table, and even the plate containing the vegetables was as clean and new as if it had been washed.

After eating, Su Zhao got up and walked towards the two, leaning against the wall next to Xia Duo and soon snoring.

Xia Chuxin was already heavy and slept lightly, and he was directly awakened by his thunderous snoring, got up and kicked Su Zhao's ass, who knew that he just grunted a few times and turned over and snored to the other side. Sigh and get up and walk to the window, the narrow window is only the size of a head, but you can also see the bright moon in the sky outside, is this bright moon the same as the one in reality?

"Rest assured. We will definitely go back. ”

Xia Chuxin turned around and saw that Xia Duo also sat up, his eyes full of encouragement to himself. I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart, who would have thought that this brother, who had always been cold to himself, would be able to live and die with him all the way, and he still chose to believe in himself after Wusu broke up the relationship between the two.

"Hmm. We will definitely go back. Xia Chuxin also said firmly.

Xia Duo walked to the window, stood side by side with her, looked at the moon outside the window, and muttered for a long time: "I wonder if she is okay in the palace?" ”

Bai Shunyu's face floated in front of Xia Chuxin's eyes, how could that cold woman suddenly choose to enter the palace to be the concubine of the old emperor? But judging from her inner feelings, Bai Shunyu must have Xia Duo in her heart. If she can go back, she must ask her properly.

"Big brother, Xiaobai must have her reasons for doing that. People live for a lifetime, they always have to experience so many unsatisfactory, and some fate is to know each other but not be able to stay together. You have to look away. ”

Xia Duo hung his head silently, and it took a long time before he said: "Shun Yu is the first girl I like in my life, and she is also the person I will like for a lifetime, although she didn't choose me, but she didn't choose anyone else, I know that she will enter the palace one day." ”

"You know she's going to be in the palace?" Xia Chuxin was puzzled.

"Yes. I always say take her here and there, and she refuses every time, and she only looks forward to it when it comes to the palace, maybe it has something to do with her not saying it, maybe she just doesn't want to bother us. In short, she is a good girl, a good girl who deserves to be in my heart for the rest of my life. Speaking of Bai Shunyu, Xia Duo unconsciously looked much softer.

Xia Chuxin suddenly envied the little white girl, her life is so long, but there is someone who always puts you in her heart.
