By this time the sun had set, and the guards followed him westward, and after walking half a mile, they turned into a wood, and in the woods there was a man who looked like a peasant woman standing by a cart, and on the cart sat an old woman.

Several of the guards asked suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”

Didn't this farmer bring himself to find his son-in-law and Lord Zhou Jing? How did you come here and see a peasant woman and an old woman?

Zheng Hangsu resumed his original voice at this time and said, "It is the county lord Zhou Jing who is guarding the side. ”

His voice lagged behind, and at this time, several guards looked at him in unison, and exclaimed together, "Childe, is that you?" ”

He nodded.

"Childe, are you alright? It's okay, I haven't seen you and Lord Zhou Jing in person since yesterday, and we've been scared to death in the past two days. One of the guards said.

The old woman asked Zhou Jing at this time: "What's the matter, who are the people I met on the road before who asked for news, and who are these people?" ”

Confused her along the way.

She saw many soldiers asking back and forth what was going on, and now that a man in a different suit had come to the woods, how did a young man and a woman who were not very well dressed know these people?

Zhou Jing said loudly to the old woman: "Old woman, you have made us safe." Thank you! ”

The old woman still looked at her suspiciously, and then at Zheng Hangsu. I still don't know what to do.

Zheng Hangsu took out two silver ingots from his body and said to one of the guards: "Send this old woman back, and give her these two silver ingots when you arrive." ”

The guard said, "Yes! As he spoke, he pushed the cart out of the woods onto the road and headed west.

After the guard left, Zhou Jing said, "Shall we go back to the barracks now?" ”

Zheng Hangsu said: "I can't go back for the time being." ”

"Why?"

"Now when we go back, the person behind the scenes who made someone else assassinate us will not be easily found." Zheng Hangsu replied.

"So, Zheng Gongzi has thought of a way to find out who is behind the scenes?" She asked.

"Let's go there and talk there."

Right now, it's in the woods, and if a soldier returns, he'll see it clearly.

But there is a depression at the end of the woods where you can hide well.

Several guards walked towards the depression with Zheng Hangsu and Zhou Jing.

When he arrived at the depression, Zheng Hangsu said: "You still have to go back first, and take a good look at the soldiers who came back from the barracks, whose barracks they go to most often." ”

One of the guards asked suspiciously, "What, Childe, is something going on?" ”

Zheng Hangsu said: "Yesterday, someone assassinated me and Zhou Jingjun. ”

All the guards exclaimed, "What? Assassinate? ”

Zheng Hangsu said: "From yesterday to today, there have been people looking for us, some are really looking for us, and some are intent on assassination. ”

One of the guards said, "So Childe, do you mean to let us go back and investigate the situation first, and see which tent those soldiers are going to?" ”

Zheng Hangsu said: "Yes, if someone intends to do wrong to us, those soldiers he sent out will definitely report the news to him when they come back tonight, but those soldiers who really go to look for us will probably only go back to their tents and wait for tomorrow to look for us, and will not report the news to anyone." ”

The soldier who spoke just now said, "Then you mean, neither you nor Lord Zhou Jing will enter the barracks tonight?" ”

"I'll wait until you find out. Maybe we'll be back until midnight. ”

"Okay, let's go." A soldier said,

The soldiers turned around, and just as they were about to step into their feet, they heard the voice of their son—

"Wait."

"Childe, what else do you have to command?"

"When you go back, tell others that the farmer who came this evening is talking nonsense, and when you go to the woods, you don't find any trace of me and Zhou Jing, and you find that he just met two other people, thinking they are us."

"Yes, Childe. We do what you say and say to them. ”

The guards turned and walked towards the barracks.

When they left, it became even darker.

Listening to Zheng Hangsu and his guards just now, Zhou Jing had never felt the cold, but now he felt the cold to the bone.

Because after walking for a day, before she stopped, she had some light sweat on her body, but now she didn't need to walk anymore, and her clothes became cold and wet due to the presence of light sweat.

She sat down on the steps of the depression and said, "Brother Zheng, sit down for a while, the wind will be lighter." ”

He sat down too, but at least two of her farther away.

"It's cold." She said.

Although the wind is lighter, the temperature at night is low, so the cold of the body is inevitable.

She was already shivering with cold.

He took off his coat and said to her, "Put my clothes on." ”

"But aren't you even colder then?" She saw the coat he had taken off, a thin padded jacket, and realized that he had been wearing a much thinner coat than she had been wearing before.

Now, he only had a thinner shortcoat on him.

"I'm fine." He said.

"No, I can't wear it." She glanced at the thin padded jacket and said.

He didn't speak, but got up, and with a padded jacket in his hand, he walked up to her, and when he was about to put it on her, she also stood up and said, "I really can't wear it." ”

He put a padded jacket on her, but she took it off and shoved it into his hand.

"Obedient, put on." He said in a commanding tone.

"No, then you'll only have one thing to wear. And, if it's so thin, you'll freeze. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"You think it's okay, but I don't think it's okay." She said.

As she spoke, she put her padded jacket on him again.

Since he was much taller than her, she had to stretch her arms high.

He grabbed her hand, stopped her movements, and said, "I really don't have to. ”

The moment he grabbed her hand, she felt as if her heart had been touched.

"I'm ......" she stopped her hand movements and stared at her blankly.

The night was rising, but her eyes were still shining.

He avoided her eyes and said, "Obedient." ”

"I don't listen." She said.

Her hands were still in the air, and her wrists were still in his.

"There are other ways to warm up." She said.

"What's the solution?"

"You put on your padded jacket and ......" she didn't say anything more.

He realized the meaning of her words and was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she continued to put clothes on him.

His hands didn't continue to stop her movements.

After putting the clothes on him, he turned his back to him, snuggled into his arms, and said, "Now it's okay, we can both warm up." ”

He didn't respond to her.

But he didn't push her away either.

Her back fit his front chest, and she felt the warmth coming from his chest.

I don't know why, when I clinged to him like this, my heart beat uncontrollably.

She thought he would always be as calm as water, but she gradually felt his heartbeat and gradually became more violent.

Feeling his increasingly violent heartbeat, she said, "Brother Zheng, your heart is beating a little fast, just like me." ”

She deliberately debunked him.

Didn't hear his response.

She turned, her head on his chin.

She put her arms around his neck and said, "You said you didn't like me, you said everything was my illusion, so why did your heartbeat get so strong?" ”

He still didn't reply.
