When I arrived at the gate of Yunzhou, two days had passed, Bingruo had been hunting on horseback since he was a child, it can be said that his equestrian skills were superb, and he could have reached it for a day and a half, but because he was not familiar with the path, he spared a lot of wrongful roads, and he was delayed for half a day.

Looking at the remnant sun like blood in the distance, a handful of distant mountains like sharp blades, carving the desperate sunset into the merciless mountain col, Bingruo pounded hard against the closed vermilion lacquer city gate, and no one responded for a long time. Bingruo wanted to cry without tears, so she had to take a few steps back and kneel alone in front of the city gate, hoping that the occasional passing guard on the city wall would see her and respond to her.

"Official, in Xia Liang Bingruo, kneel and beg to enter Yunzhou City to meet Governor Xiao!"

......

"Official, if there are 100,000 urgent things in Bing, I hope the official will be kind and let him go!"

......

"Official, it's about the shocking wealth of the Luo family, the richest man in Yunzhou, Bingruo asks to see Governor Xiao!"

......

A guard leaned out half of his body from the high city wall, slightly lowered his head to look at the girl kneeling in front of the city gate, and said impatiently: "Yunzhou City is under martial law to search for the key criminals who escaped from the prefect's prison a few days ago, you can go!"

"It's about the treasure of the Luo family, the wealth of the country, doesn't the prefect want it?!If you delay this matter because you don't report it to the next generation, can you afford it!?"

The guard sneered: "You are also from Wuping County, right, and you were sent by Zhanli to toss? Since Luo Chengyu is so rich, why don't you take it to ransom his son? You go quickly!"

......

After the guard left, no matter how much Bingruo shouted and pleaded, no one answered. The sky was getting darker and darker, and Bingruo knelt in front of the city gate.

This Yunzhou City is indeed under martial law, Bingruo has been kneeling here for three days and three nights, the gate has not been opened for a moment, and occasionally the people who want to enter the city have knocked on the door for a long time without responding and left.

And Bingruo knelt here in a daze for three days, the guards were probably afraid that she would die of thirst and starvation at the city gate, so they tied dry food and water bottles from the city gate every day and threw them down to her, and Bingruo did not refuse, so Luo Feng couldn't die of thirst and starvation before he could save himself.

On the fourth day, Bingruo was no longer kneeling, and she did not go to get the food that the guards had thrown down today, because she was so grieved that she could not cry. She sat on her knees by the city gate, and was in a daze for a long time, and the horse she rode had not eaten for several days, but had only drunk a little ice water, and now she was also tired lying on the edge of the city gate with her head hanging down.

On the evening of the fourth day when he arrived at the city gate of Yunzhou, it rained heavily, and in the bleak wind and rain, Bingruo did not dodge, leaning on the horse's belly, confused, and did not know what he was thinking.

In the past, when he was in Orion Village, Xiucai Liang Zhaosheng liked to read books the most, so Bingruo often took his father's books to read. I especially remember that in the book, whenever the girl is alone in the rain, there will be a beautiful boy who will approach with an oil-paper umbrella, and then say gently: "Girl, don't get wet." ”。 Bing Ruo squinted slightly, feeling the cool raindrops hitting her body, and imagined in her heart that Luo Feng would also come with an umbrella with the smile of April Day in the world......

A reverie drifted farther and farther, in the distance, a person rode a dark high-headed horse and ran over, he didn't have an umbrella, he was drenched, brocade clothes and jade belts, a pair of phoenix eyes and tails were narrow and long, it was a bit like Xia Xian.

But the person who came was by no means Xia Xian, he had a handsome face, but his temperament was arrogant, the black horse stepped on Bingruo's side, Bingruo raised his eyes to look at him, seventeen or eighteen years old but indifferent and old, the man said coldly: "You don't want to be in the rain here, follow me into the city." ”

"You don't have to go into the city anymore, and when the rain stops, you leave. Bingruo still maintained the posture of reclining on the horse's belly, and he was weak.

"Oh, where are you going when the rain stops?"

"Wuping County. ”

The man's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his tone was a little softer, and he asked her, "What are you doing in Wuping County?"

Bingruo's heart trembled again, and a pair of small hands slowly covered her cheeks, and said sadly: "Go find a paper shop...... Buy some ...... Paper money. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you buy paper money, do you have any silver?"

"No, forget it, you can go. ”

"Come with me into the city, there are many fierce people in Yunzhou City, such as coffin shops and paper shops. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bingruo to speak, he leaned over and carried her to the back of the horse in front of him, and walked towards the city gate with Bingruo in a trance.

Behind him, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and a beautiful and vigorous white horse led a girl with a delicate face but a serious expression galloped towards him. The girl did not have an umbrella, and she was also wet, and her thin clothes were soaked by the rain, outlining her charming and graceful figure.

"Feng Nian, where is this girl?"

"I just picked it up there, by the way, Ling'er, her horse is dying of hunger, you take it to the guards' stables in the city gate and arrange for someone to feed it. ”

"Okay, you can go back to the house first. ”

......

In the dining room of Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou City, there are barbecued pork fish, ginkgo steamed duck, eight treasure chicken, jar meat, winter vegetable button meat, and sand ginseng heart and lung soup on the table of the boxwood eight immortals...... However, Bingruo did not have the slightest appetite.

She propped her elbows on the table, supported her chin with both hands, and looked listlessly at the two opposite: "Thank you two, I'm going to find a paper shop to get some paper money on credit first, and the next old man has just ...... Went to the Western Elysium......"

"The man who guarded the city gate just now said that you want to find your father, but somehow?" the young man called Feng Nian asked in a deep voice.

"I don't need it now, thank you Gongzi Xiao for your hospitality, it's just that your father, Lord Xiao, just killed my old friend, and I really don't want to stay in Xiao's Mansion anymore. ”

Bingruo got up to say goodbye, but was stopped by the woman who called Ling'er.

"Girl, for some reason, when I see the girl, I feel familiar, the girl doesn't know, I and Feng Nian...... It's a long story, Feng Nian and I both think that the girl is our old friend, so why don't you let me accompany the girl to the paper shop. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Xiao Fengnian nodded slightly to the bell, and the two girls left the dining room.

In the night, the two girls walked on the empty streets of Yunzhou City, all the shops were closed, Bingruo lamented in her heart that she was afraid that she would not be able to buy paper money to burn for Luo Feng today.

As he was wandering, Bing Ruo noticed that wanted notices were posted everywhere in the city, and after looking closely, the person painted on the notice was actually a little familiar, very similar to the leper monk who had visited Orion Village a few years ago. Bing Ruo was deeply impressed by that monk, and his sentence of the other side of the life theory deeply explained Bing Ruo, who had killed all day long in those years.

"Miss Ling'er, is this the person who was arrested by the recent martial law in Yunzhou City?" Bing Ruo asked the girl beside her.

"Yes, this monk is a murderer, he escaped from the prefect's yamen prison a few days ago, and he has not been found yet. Xiao Ling'er replied to Bingruo while searching around for the paper tie shop.

"Hey, it's all closed, let's look for it tomorrow, let's go back first, okay?"

Bing Ruo saw that Xiao Fengnian and Xiao Ling'er were good, and he had no money and no place to live, and the horse was also in the stable at the city gate, so he could only follow Xiao Ling'er back to Xiao's mansion.

......

It is said that the white name was abandoned by Bing Ruo at the gate of Lanruo Temple in the middle of the night, and he was full of suspicions in his heart. Although Bai Ming lives in the Axe Gang village, he has not come out for many months, and every day there are small mountain bandits who deliver food and water, clean and clean, he simply lives in a simple house, almost without leaving home, so he has not seen Liang Bingruo and others who have recently come to the Axe Gang.

That day, he was going to take a carriage back to Wuping County to visit his grandmother, but he didn't want a handsome heroine sister to appear in the car. Bai Ming guessed that this girl was also kidnapped back from the county town by a certain mountain bandit to be the lady of the village, since he fled to his car, he intended to save her, and he didn't want this heroine sister to be so fierce, so he held his urine for two days.

Bai Ming sat in a carriage, and when he came to the Axe Gang with the mountain bandit who was driving the car, the stockade was already in a mess. However, some small mountain bandits can still be seen cleaning up the corpses and debris, and some small mountain bandits have also organized and are rebuilding the village, but the gang leader Diao Wuan is gone.

A little mountain bandit cried and cried: "White ...... Bai Shaoxia, the day you left, a hurricane came...... A lot of people died...... The helper, the helper doesn't know where he went, I don't know, I'm still alive and ......"

"Ridiculous, what a heroic figure the gang leader is, how could he die?!" Bai Ming angrily scolded the little mountain bandit, and then raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his handsome little face was heavy and anxious.

"You can rebuild the cottage with them, the gang leader must still be alive, I will go to the gang leader, and I will definitely bring the Diao gang leader back intact!"

After speaking, Bai Ming rode a jujube-colored horse and ran towards the mountains and forests.
