When the sun was not so strong, Shao Ziqing and his party got on their horses and left, and when there were still five miles away, Shao Ziqing ordered to stop and sent Chirong to take four people to investigate.

A group of people hid in the suburbs, under the wilderness, and it was almost dark, and no one found it.

After the sky was completely dark, when the moon hung high in the sky, Chi Rong came back, bumpy all the way, it was inevitable that he was a little out of breath when he got off the horse, but he didn't care to slow down, and reported: "Young master, there are twenty or thirty people guarding the city gate in Yanguo Town, and there are no masters. ”

Shao Ziqing asked with a serious face, "What about the city?" ”

Chi Rong broke off the branches, drew the landform of the Yan Kingdom on the ground, and said while drawing: "The Yan Country is not big, it is only the size of a city, and you can go directly to the imperial city by killing it from the main road and running on the road for half a day." ”

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the sketch that Chi Rong drew on the land, and calculated the time when he left, in such a short time, no matter how small the Yan Country is, it will not be possible to find out the whole picture, it seems that he has already explored it in advance, this so-called Yan Country is really not big.

Shao Ziqing nodded: "Okay, everything is according to plan, have a good rest tonight, let's set off before dawn and slaughter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone rested, Jiang Zuiyao leaned against the tree and said that he couldn't sleep, finished eating the last bun Chi Rong bought, drank a few sips of water, and fell into deep thought.

After sleeping dizzily for about an hour, he got up and went deep into the dense forest to relieve himself.

When I came back, I suddenly heard a voice: "There are jackals in the wilderness, you have to be careful." ”

The sudden sound startled Jiang Zuiyao, and when she heard the sound, she looked up and saw that it was Wuxian, who was sitting on a branch.

Jiang Zuiyao breathed a deep sigh of relief: "How do you know that I got up?" ”

"It's my turn to keep vigil." , Wuxian sat on the branch and looked down at her.

Jiang Zuiyao was not sleepy at the moment, looked at the crowd resting not far away, and stood in place in a daze.

Seeing this, Wuxian said, "Can't you sleep?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao nodded, Wuxian fell from the tree, raised his hand to hug Jiang Zuiyao, which made Jiang Zuiyao startled, and before he could ask the reason, he felt weightless and flew up under his feet, but after a while, he was jumped up the tree by Wuxian.

Jiang Zuiyao was inevitably a little panicked, looked at her feet, and looked at the tree trunk that was not tall on the ground, but she didn't expect that it was still a little high when she flew up and down, so she hurriedly hugged her uncle.

Wu Xianyan said: "Don't worry, this trunk is very strong and can support you and me." ”

After finishing speaking, Wuxian took Jiang Zuiyao's arm and let her sit on the thick branch.

After Jiang Zuiyao adapted to the height, he gradually calmed down, and looked far away, although he couldn't see the whole picture of the suburban forest, but he could see it far, far away.

"Why can't you sleep?" , Wuxian sat beside her, asking.

In fact, Jiang Zuiyao herself couldn't say why she had insomnia, but she just couldn't sleep, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.

Wuxian could only rely on his own suspicion and asked, "Are you worried about tomorrow?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao thought for a while and replied, "I'm not worried, and I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow." ”

"Shao Ziqing didn't tell you?" , Wuxian asked unexpectedly, Jiang Zuiyao shook his head.

In this way, Wuxian said: "Shao Ziqing will start killing in the Yan Kingdom and break the royal family." ”

This Jiang Zuiyao also guessed, but just looked at the dozens of people on the ground, and inevitably said with some worry: "Is it just us?" ”

Wuxian nodded: "The Yan Kingdom is very small, the national strength is weak, it is a vassal state of the Rong Dynasty, and the reason why Shao Ziqing did this is also to suppress the Rong Kingdom." ”

"No matter how small and weak the country is, there are a few of us people, right?" , it's no wonder that Jiang Zuiyao questioned it, they only add up to a few dozen people, so they want to slaughter a country, and everyone feels that there is a bit of a disparity.

Wuxian said without worry: "It's enough, those people are all martial arts experts who recruit troops in Shaoziqing." ”

"Will they really follow Shao Ziqing with all their hearts?"

"As long as the benefits are big enough, they won't leave."

Immediately, Wuxian pointed to the black-clothed men who were wearing no patterns: "If they are free people, who wants to live in the country, they are all people who will be hunted down and killed when they leave the country." ”

Jiang Zuiyao thought about it and questioned: "But what Shao Ziqing did was treasonous, aren't they afraid?" ”

"Afraid?" , Wuxian smiled coldly: "Such people have already put life and death out of the way, instead of living in a contemptuous country, it is better to follow Shao Ziqing to do things, although there is no affection, but at least there is a place to hide." ”

Jiang Zuiyao probably understood that those who could follow Shao Ziqing to do things must be involuntarily.

Looking around at all the people, Jiang Zuiyao said something that he hadn't asked: "These days, why don't you see Zhang Zinuo?" ”

Wuxian shook his head: "I don't know, I should be going to do something else, I don't know everything." ”

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao's body was weak, leaning on the trunk of the tree, her legs hanging in the air and dangling slowly, and her eyes with an empty brain looked straight into the distance.

After a long time, Wuxian spit out a sentence: "Tomorrow will inevitably be a catastrophe, you have no martial arts, you must protect yourself." ”

These words didn't make Jiang Zuiyao think much about it, she just shook her head perfunctorily.

Then, Wuxian said: "If you believe in me, follow me, and I will protect you." ”

Such a sentence made Jiang Zuiyao, who was relaxed at the moment, slightly stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to look at him.

Wuxian smiled faintly: "It was you who saved my life, if it weren't for you, even if Shao Ziqing rescued me from the hands of the Imperial City Division, I wouldn't be able to survive, it should be me to repay you for saving my life." ”

Jiang Zuiyao and Wuxian have known each other for so many days, and it is only at this moment that they can be regarded as really paying attention to him.

Who is he? Why was he imprisoned by the Imperial City Division? Why are you an old acquaintance with Shao Ziqing?

Jiang Zuiyao didn't know anything about everything, so to speak, he was a stranger to her who had not known her for a long time.

By Shao Ziqing's side, Jiang Zuiyao is vigilant every day, even if she knows someone, no matter how long she gets along, she doesn't dare to believe it easily.

So at this moment, in the face of Wuxian's words, Jiang Zuiyao just looked at it expressionlessly.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zuiyao said: "Shao Ziqing shouldn't let me die so quickly." ”

In this way, let Wuxian retract his gaze and replied in a light tone: "Oh, yes, he doesn't like me approaching you." ”

Although Jiang Zuiyao didn't know why Shao Ziqing didn't let Wuxian approach her, she didn't ask, because she felt that it was an inconsequential matter, and she didn't care about her at the moment, it didn't matter to her.
