The carriage drove on the flat road, not very bumpy, Ling Xiu'er couldn't hear or see, and didn't know where to send her.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Ling Xiu'er saw Zhang Ze who was already waiting here, Zhao Zheng pointed to the car: "People, I have already brought her, be sure to take care of her." ”

It turns out they're in this group!

Ling Xiu'er glared at Zhang Ze angrily. Zhang Ze dodged her eyes, her eyes unlocked the acupoints for her, she tried it, although her hands and feet could move, she was still soft and had no strength.

Ling Xiu'er was extremely angry, she scolded Zhang Ze frantically: "Do you have a conscience!" The two of you have already colluded! You're in this group! Where am I sorry for you, you have to lie to him like this! ”

Zhang Ze went all the way, and he didn't return the scolding even if she scolded. Lingxiu Er seemed to have punched the cotton, soft, not breathing, but tired and out of strength.

Zhang Ze settled her in the room and instructed her: "I know you don't want to see me, it's quiet here, you can rest well, calm down, don't think about anything, take care of your body first." ”

Ling Xiu'er didn't want to say a word to him, and angrily threw the teapot and cups on the table to the ground.

Zhang Ze reluctantly turned around and left, and came to the main room, where Zhao Zheng was drinking tea leisurely, looking in a good mood.

"This is a good opportunity for you to promote your relationship, she just died, you can take this opportunity to appease him, I think he will also be moved by your infatuation."

Zhang Ze smiled bitterly, the current Ling Xiu'er, I'm afraid that she hates him to the bone.

"It's not a long-term solution for the prince to lock her up with me, when are you going to release her?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter, you just need to give me a good look, and in a few days I will make him the Lady of the Command, which can be regarded as a meritorious person who rewards the water control, you bother to arrange it."

"Yes." Zhang Ze was ordered to retreat.

Ling Xiu'er is equivalent to being placed under house arrest in disguise, and her heart is very anxious, and now she is really calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual. Three meals a day, Zhang Ze arranged for a maid to deliver him food, but she asked the maid to bring a message to Zhang Ze, but the little maid waved her hand and shook her head again and again, and walked away quickly.

Lingxiu broke the food again, and she decided to go on a hunger strike in protest! Until Zhang Ze lets her go!

She had not eaten a few meals, and she was already so hungry that she was awake and unable to sleep at night. The heartache, coupled with the exhaustion of her body, made her tears flow unconsciously, wetting the bedding.

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." ”
