Ling Xiu'er thought about Cao Yu, thinking about it painfully, and thinking about it anxiously. She never believed that Cao Yu was dead, and she had to see Cao Yu's body before she could accept this fact!

She rolled over and was alert to what seemed to be a noise outside the window: "Who?!" ”

"It's me!" Su Shi outside the window lowered his voice: "I'm here to save you!" ”

"Sister Su!" Ling Xiu'er opened the window in surprise and helped Su come in.

Su Shi was wearing a black night suit, his long hair was tied in a bun behind his head, and his beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright, "Xiu'er, are you okay?" ”

Ling Xiu'er shook her head, and was just about to ask why Su Shi came, but she urged, "Hurry up and pack up, let's go!" ”

"Sister Su, how do you know I'm here?"

Su Shi looked out vigilantly, and replied: "It was Zhang Ze who sent me to save you, the people outside, he has already arranged it, let's leave now, we won't alarm others." ”

"Hey!" Ling Xiu'er hurriedly got dressed and escaped with the Su family, and it was as she said, not even the girl who was keeping vigil was there.

Su Shi took Ling Xiu'er back the same way, during which he was almost discovered by the soldiers patrolling the night, but fortunately, Su Shi came prepared and did not expose the traces of the two.

The night was deep, and the two figures quietly slipped out of the palace one after the other.

The shadow in Zhao Zheng's room reported in a condensed voice: "Lord Wang, Ling Xiu'er is gone." ”

Zhao Zheng was splashing ink and painting, he didn't speak, and the brush under his hand didn't stop. After a while, Zhao Zheng stopped painting a tiger descending from the mountain, and the momentum jumped out.

The two of them slipped out quietly and ran for several miles, relieved to make sure that no one had caught up.

"Then have you thought about it, where are we going now?" Su couldn't help but ask Ling Xiu'er.

Ling Xiu'er's face was firm: "I'm going to find my father-in-law!" Go north and south of the lake! If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die! If I don't look for him, I won't give up on him! ”

"Good!" Su also agreed to accompany her.

It was at the gate of the city, the two of them made a difficulty, it was the middle of the night, and the two of them did not have a way to clear the customs. Fortunately, Ling Xiu'er remembered that she still had the jade wrench finger given by Zhao Zheng on her body, symbolizing the identity of Zhao Zheng's cronies, so she was able to pass the test. As soon as they left the city gate, the two of them marched all the way south, towards the north and south of the lake.

At the same time, the wounds on Cao Yu's body were also gradually improved and recovered under the care of Zhao Ping. He is young, his body is good, and his wounds, large and small, are almost healed. Only the place where the leg is broken, it was simply bandaged before, and the doctor needs to re-correct the bone, otherwise the bone will grow crooked, and the leg may really fall disabled.

Zhao Ping's men's clothing is too easy to be recognized, but it will attract more attention. So after taking Cao Yu out to find a doctor, Zhao Ping completely gave up the identity of "Huang Ping" as a disguise, and Cao Yu pretended to be husband and wife.

Cao Yu was not very clear about their exact location now, and he could only discern bits and pieces of useful information from the dialect of the locals, who were supposed to be in an unnamed town on the border.

Cao Yu was unable to move, Zhao Ping supported him, and when he passed by a clearing, Zhao Ping was a little puzzled: "This is not the busy season for farming, why are there so many fresh footprints in the threshing floor here?" ”

Cao Yu's keen instincts told him that something was wrong, and he limped over to observe the footprints. The size is very uniform, and judging from the size of the shoe print, most of them are about seven feet tall. And the lines printed are all the hemp shoe prints of people marching on the battlefield.

"Strangely, if it was really someone from the town who was drying the grain in the threshing floor, the footprints left behind would have been of different sizes. The footprints are very uniform in size, indicating that these people are all about the same height. ”

Zhao Ping thought thoughtfully: "When I just went to inquire about the way, I also heard someone discussing, saying that there are always strange noises near the threshing floor at night. ”

Cao Yu had a bold assumption that he needed to haunt at night, and that there was a large group of people of similar height and shortness, dressed in linen, there should be no second possibility except for the army.

"This is supposed to be a secret army that will not be seen." Cao Yu's expression was a little heavy: "The threshing floor should be the school field where they train, they come out at night, and even the residents of the town may not know about their existence." ”

Zhao Ping was a little nervous: "Then do we want to check?" ”

Of course, the investigation is to be investigated, but they don't even have a place to stay now, and one is a wounded person and the other is a female streamer, which is indeed a bit dangerous.

Cao Yu pondered for a moment: "Let's wait until we settle down and then check." ”

After Zhao Ping settled Cao Yu in the inn, she changed into men's clothes again, she was very curious about the origin of the footprints in the threshing floor, and she couldn't help but want to investigate for a moment.

"I'm going to find out where these footprints are coming from. I always felt that this threshing floor was a breakthrough. ”

Cao Yu admonished uneasily: "You have to be careful alone. ”

Zhao Ping, shouldn't it be Huang Ping now, she smiled coquettishly: "Don't worry, I'm not a weak woman like your wife, I can handle it." ”

That being said, Zhao Ping's accent betrayed her. Since she didn't speak the local language, she didn't get much useful information even if she bought it with silver, but a clue caught his attention.

A man at a teahouse in the west of the city said that recently, he often wore fancy clothes and mingled with the locals in the teahouse. It stands to reason that this is a border town that no one cares about, and there are very few people in the capital who come here to gather in a cheap way, so there is another purpose for coming here.

got the information he wanted, Zhao Ping didn't dare to stay alone for a long time, and Cao Yu was still alone in the inn.

Zhao Ping hurried back, but as soon as she arrived downstairs at the inn, she saw a familiar face and a familiar purple color.

It's Hu Yuesheng! How did he come back here! This town is really full of suspicions! As a close confidant of the prince's party, Hu Yuesheng will appear here in person, so there must be a huge secret hidden here.

Hu Yuesheng didn't come here alone, there was a local guy next to him who dressed up to beat a man, the two talked a few words, and then went to the upstairs box together, if they waited for them to enter the room, it would be difficult to find out!

Zhao Ping relied on the fact that he was wearing men's clothes at this time, and they shouldn't be able to see it, so he was bold, took a few steps forward, and hit it hard.

"Ahh I'm so sorry! I was careless and didn't see you! Zhao Ping dodged and didn't let them see this face, and apologized.

The other party just frowned, and he didn't embarrass him.

Just as she turned around, the photo looked up, and the face fell into her sight.

Her eyes widened suddenly, it was him!
