It was only then that Zhaohua woke up from the bumpy carriage.

She looked around, it was pitch black, and suddenly remembered that she had been drugged with sweat at lunch, and suddenly she was shocked, and she knew that something had happened.

She was scared, but she didn't know what was going on, or who was driving the car, so she didn't speak, but calmly moved to the curtain of the car, and lifted a corner to peek out.

"Master Yue!"

It was pitch black outside the car, only the sound of horses' hooves, and the figures in the distance were not clear enough, and the rain had stopped. The rain that comes quickly often goes quickly, and at this time the stars have appeared in the sky, and the surroundings are hazy, so the people in front of him who are driving the car, Zhaohua can recognize it at a glance.

Master Yue immediately turned his head, and Zhaohua grabbed him and asked, "Master Yue, what are you taking me out for, what happened, Daddy?" ”

Master Yue didn't answer, but said to her, "Are you awake, are you hungry?" ”

Zhaohua shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, Master Yue, where are we going, who are we with, are they the guards of the palace?" ”

Master Yue shook his head and said, "No, the leader in front is your second brother of the Lin family." Don't worry, listen to me. Gu Wang Ye felt that the Luan family was looking for trouble these days, so he sent you out in the name of seeking medical advice, so that the Luan family could no longer bother you. We hurried all night because we were afraid that the informant of the Luan family would find out and chase after us. ”

Zhaohua immediately became anxious, as if he had a knife pierced in his heart: "Daddy, why is he like this!" I told him that I was going to stay in the capital to help him, and he thought I was stupid and had caused him trouble these days, didn't he? "Zhaohua used to be angry, but he never felt as resentful because of grievances as he did today.

She really didn't suffer any grievances, and she didn't get angry like this. When Master Yue saw her like this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he couldn't tell her the truth, so he didn't know what to say in the face of Zhaohua's questioning.

When Lin Yan heard the voice, he had already ridden back from the front, walked near the carriage, and said to her: "Xue Yun, the prince is your father, how can he dislike you, he just wants to protect you." You also know that the prince is far-sighted, and he has his own reasons for doing this, so don't ask more. ”

Zhaohua saw that the two of them always refused to make it clear, and the more he listened, the more wrong he became, and frowned: "Even if you need me to do something, you have to tell me clearly, can't you see that I am not an unreasonable person after what happened before?" Is there something I can't be innocent of, why do you want to trick me into coming here with sweat pills? Master Yue, Brother Lin, are you hiding something from me? ”

Yue Lin said: "The prince is afraid that you will not come, so he gave you sweat medicine."

Zhaohua said: "I have said it many times, I am not an unreasonable person, and I have not missed anything he has arranged for me to do, I am confident that I have not disappointed him, as long as he makes it clear to me, I will listen to him." Unless...... Unless! When he said this, he suddenly paused, and only after a long time did he calm his voice and said: "Unless he makes some decisions that I will never agree to!" Master Yue, Brother Lin, so far, aren't you going to tell the truth? ”

Lin Yan frowned and looked at Yue Lin, which meant to ask him what to do, but Yue Lin lowered his head and was speechless.

Seeing that the two of them looked wrong, Zhaohua became even more anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Master Yue, what's wrong with you today?" What the hell is going on in the palace? You said you were going to take me to the doctor, but there was no servant who was with you, and if my father really protected me, he wouldn't let me go like this. Master Yue, just tell me the truth, you are really anxious to kill me! I'm the county lord of the Gu Palace, don't I deserve to know these things? If you two don't tell the truth again, I'll jump out of the carriage and go back to the capital to find my father now, although you two have high martial arts, if I am determined to break out, I'm afraid you won't dare to touch me! ”

Yue Lin had no choice but to say: "Zhaohua, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the palace, and the identity of the county lord will be gone in the future, from now on, we can only live in the rivers and lakes, and the four seas will be our home."

"What! Could it be that Prime Minister Luan caught his father's handle and knew that I was pretending? That...... So where is my dad now? Although Zhaohua had a premonition, when he heard the news, his eyes turned red with anxiety, and there was crying in his voice.

"Don't worry. The prince said that he had his own way to get out, and he would join us in Guiyun Mountain. Yue Lin still patiently comforted her.

Zhaohua muttered: "Now that the matter has come to this, Prime Minister Luan Cheng must say that Daddy wants to bully the monarch and rebel, and he also wants to kill important ministers of the court, such a big crime, the emperor can't protect him even if he wants to, and Daddy won't follow him now." What are you doing in the capital? What's the big deal? Master Yue, I always feel that something is not right, are you really not lying to me? Ah, by the way, and Zhou Wenlian, where is he? Is he with Daddy? ”

"Zhou Gongzi has his own tasks."

Lin Yan also helped Yue Lin persuade her: "You can rest assured, with the wisdom of the prince and the son of Zhou, it is not difficult to turn things around, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not selfless, and it is not impossible to bite Prime Minister Luan to help the prince." The prince took great pains to send you out, just to preserve his strength, and even if he loses the identity of the prince in the future, he can still serve the emperor. ”

Zhaohua felt that it made sense, nodded and calmed down for the time being, and muttered: "Brother Lin is right, yes, I was too anxious just now......" These things happened too suddenly, after all, it was still a little difficult to accept, she thought that their family had resolved the crisis again and again and was already in sight, but she didn't expect to lose in the end.

"Prime Minister Luan is unrelenting, the chase is too fierce and fierce, if we escape like this, will we become fugitives in the future, and we must be careful of the pursuit of Luan thieves wherever we go?" After Zhaohua calmed down, he thought about it carefully.

Yue Lin said: "That's true. But don't worry too much, I have a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to settle your father and daughter. ”

Zhaohua nodded and stopped talking, thinking secretly in his heart: "Leaving the Gu Wangfu is just leaving the glory and wealth, this time my father will definitely take me to find the prince's brother, my father and the prince's brother are united, even if there is no power, I can still be loyal to the country." This time I'm no longer a burden, I can be with them. ”

Thinking of this, she didn't even feel anything to be sad about, but felt excited, and her heart immediately relaxed a lot: "Master, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Yue Lin nodded, took out a few pieces of bread from the package on his shoulder, handed her a pot of water, and said: "You eat first, it's inconvenient for us to stay in the store these days, we can only eat cold rice like a march, and it will be temporarily safe when we arrive at Guiyun Mountain, so you can bear with it."

Zhaohua shook his head again and again and smiled: "I know that there will be a lot of hardships to suffer in the future, Master, you can't spoil me too much, you are the master and I am an apprentice, according to the rules, I should honor you." When I've eaten, I'll catch the car for you, and you go to the car to rest for a while. With that, he took the food and water from his hands.

Yue Lin was stunned, then looked at her with emotion and said, "No wonder...... No wonder your father has been praising you a lot lately, and you are so much more sensible. It's not easy to let go of your identity, as a woman, you have the guts, and it's not easy to endure hardships, so I taught a good apprentice to come out. If you have this heart, you can walk for a while, and when you find a safe place after a while, we will stop and rest collectively. The effect of the sweat medicine has just passed, so you should take a break in the car. ”

Zhaohua thought for a while and said, "Okay! I've slept most of the day today, and I'll be able to stand guard for you in a moment. ”

Lin Yan smiled and said: "I also admire you more and more, Sister Zhuyun, which daughter in the capital can have your ability and courage?" It's a chivalrous woman! ”

Zhaohua smiled and said, "Yes! They all say that I am a vase, and I am jealous when I am in the dark. Master Yue taught me that the best way to stop those who talk about you is to use your strength to prove yin. In the future, I must practice hard and strive to make a great contribution in the war to bring down Prime Minister Luan, and see who dares to look down on me in the future. ”

The three laughed in unison. Master Yue hugged his fists and said, "The heroine is so ambitious!"

Zhaohua also smiled and replied: "I have won the prize!"

After laughing, Zhaohua returned to the car, had dinner, groped for a small package in the car, Zhaohua immediately guessed the intention of this burden, that was the clothes that Gu Wang Ye asked her to prepare before leaving, so she groped in the dark to change her clothes, and touched a small hat, so she braided her hair, coiled it on the top of her head, fixed the hairband, and then put on a small hat, and then poked her head out of the car, she had become a handsome little scholar.

The group traveled day and night, eight or nine hours a day, and only rested for three or four hours.

Three days later, Chaohua had a slight illness, a dry and sore throat, coupled with the hard work of the journey, the sore throat made it difficult to sleep. She wanted to endure it, but the pain was so bad that the tears couldn't stop flowing down, and her voice was hoarse, so she couldn't hide it anymore.

These days, they have picked up deserted paths and walked, and they have not entered the towns and villages on the way, and they have rested in the wild, because they don't know the situation in the capital yet, if Prime Minister Luan has discovered Gu Wangye's strategy, then he must have issued a sea fishing official document by now. Sending people to the yamen of the state capitals will be much faster than their journey, so it is not safe to walk from the city, and if you want to buy medicine, you have to go to the city on purpose.

Lin Yan arranged for everyone to rest in a forest and went to the nearby city alone to buy medicine for Zhaohua. Lin Yan went to the nearby county seat, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he found an official document posted on the wall near the head gate.

Lin Yan was also a little uneasy, after all, many days had passed, and Prime Minister Luan hated Prince Gu again, this time he finally got the handle, how could he let go? It must be used to cure the crime of the Gu family with the speed of thunder, he was in the spirit of secretly taking a look, and he didn't think that he could collect any important news, after all, everything was already under control, and the official document posted may not be about Gu Wangye.

He led the horse and approached, and before he saw the official document, he listened to the past two discussions around him: "Now the world is really going to change, the prince was demoted, the queen mother was also given death, the Luan family is on the throne, and now even a smart person like Gu Wangye has been harmed by him, and the Luan family wants to cover the sky with one hand!"

Another said: "Well, it's not. The power of the Luan family is now under the control of the saints, their relatives, friends, in short, anyone who can get involved with their family, now they are chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, doing evil everywhere, the day before yesterday, we were here Yunrou Silk Village boss was beaten to death, it is said that the person who beat people is their Luan family's relatives, the silk village boss and our county master have a lot of friendship, this kind of thing, the county master dare not say a word? Hey, now it's the traitors who are in charge! We ordinary people have a hard time. ”

Originally, the man said: "But it is said that Gu Wangye is such a smart person, the gentleman in the teahouse always tells his story, and even he can't compete with Prime Minister Luan, who else in this world can control him?"

Another sighed, "Who says it's not? Although there is still General Lin in the capital, and he is loyal to His Majesty, he is an iron-clad hero, but the general's style of acting is vigorous and resolute, and he does not know how to be tactful, all over the world, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all know that he is loyal, this is how it is dangerous, I heard a while ago that the little daughter of the Luan family died, and the little lady and his husband did not leave a child, after the Luan Prime Minister's family was over, everyone also applauded, saying that he had suffered retribution, but now Gu Wangye has been beheaded by him! In the past, the two of them have always had disputes in the court, but this time he was ruthless, I am afraid that he is here to retaliate, first Gu Wangye, and the next one is General Lin......"
