CHAPTER XXVII
CHAPTER XXVII
Mu Qingling buried her head in Xiao Lanhuan's arms, only to feel as if she was in the clouds, Xiao Lanling took her up and down in the night, so light that she didn't seem to be mortal.
"Okay, it's okay, open your eyes." Xiao Lanwei finally stopped, Mu Qingling opened her eyes and saw that the surroundings were pitch black, the sound of insects was endless, there were shadows everywhere, and occasionally nocturnal birds flew over the branches, bringing a sound.
"We, where is this?" Mu Qingling was a little timid, and subconsciously pulled Xiao Lanhuan's sleeve and asked. Xiao Lanwei looked at it and said with a wry smile: "I didn't see the road clearly at night, so I buried my head in blindness, this ...... Now I don't know where we came from, it's in the mountains. ”
This night was really thrilling, and Mu Qingling was still a little relieved. As soon as the mountain wind passed, Mu Qingling shivered, and then remembered that before she was taken out of the Zen courtyard by Xiao Lanhuan, she ...... It appears that a man in black was stabbed to death with a dagger. Mu Qingling's face was visibly defeated, she wrapped her hands around herself, and staggered to the side.
"Senior sister, be careful!" Xiao Lanwei hurriedly supported Mu Qingling, and when she saw that her face was pale, she knew that she remembered what happened in the Zen Monastery just now. The situation was urgent just now, and all of Mu Qingling's actions were done subconsciously for self-preservation. She didn't have to think about it in a hurry, but now that they were safe for the time being, she would inevitably remember what had happened before.
Ordinary people have to panic when they suddenly hurt someone, not to mention Mu Qingling, a delicate and precious lady, she can be said to have never stepped on an ant in her life, let alone kill someone?
The man's blood flowed from her hand, with a strong fishy smell and scorching temperature. Mu Qingling looked at the blood stains on her hands, screamed, and raised her hand to rub against the trunk of the tree on the side. In this deep mountain and old forest, the trees are all old trees that have grown for decades, and the bark is rough and hard, Mu Qingling wants to rub it so hard, and he will immediately rub the blood marks on his hand.
"Senior sister!" Xiao Lanjun hurriedly grabbed Mu Qingling's hand, and Mu Qingling panicked: "Blood...... I have blood on my hands! I killed someone! I killed someone! Xiao Lanhuan threw aside the knife in his other hand, pulled Mu Qingling into his arms and comforted: "Senior sister, calm down!" Calm down...... You're doing a good job, those are the bad guys, they're coming for me, you're not only protecting yourself, you're protecting me. Mu Qingling...... Qingling! Calm down! ”
Mu Qingling's struggle gradually weakened under Xiao Lanhuan's comfort, and when she heard Xiao Lanhuan call her name, Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment, and then slowly raised her hand to grab the clothes behind Xiao Lanhuan, and cried bitterly.
"What?!" Zhou Qingnian looked at the person in front of him who knew that he had fought hard, and his face was full of panic. It was already very annoying to be called from the bed at night, but I didn't expect that before Governor Zhou lost his temper, he received a message that made his soul fly out of the sky.
Someone attacked Yunwai Temple at night, not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but the only super-grade prince in the dynasty and the eldest lady of the Mu family are now missing.
This is really no less than a life-urging charm for Zhou Qingnian! It was Chang Lin who came to find Zhou Qingnian, and the group of black-clothed people who attacked Yunwai Temple were resisted by the warrior monks in the temple and the family members of Mufu, and they had all been ambushed. But Xiao Lanwei took Mu Qingling to avoid danger, and now he doesn't know where he went, Chang Lin didn't wait to deal with the affairs in the temple, and hurriedly returned to Hangzhou City, found Zhou Qingnian and asked him to send troops.
Chang Lin was now murderous, and there were still blood stains on his body. Because of Xiao Lanhuan's disappearance, he is now like a fierce beast that will erupt at any time, making people dare not look at him directly. Zhou Qingnian only wore a robe on his body, and now he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he immediately planned to order the government soldiers out of the city, but was stopped by Chang Lin.
"Lord Zhou, the people who raided Yunwai Temple tonight don't seem to have a simple background, I think they are acting in an orderly manner, and their purpose is clear, there must be someone behind them! You can't just let go of the people behind the scenes. Chang Lin stopped Zhou Qingnian and said.
Zhou Qingnian frowned and said, "Now the safety of the prince is the top priority, as for the people who raided Yunwai Temple...... Did the guards catch a live mouth? ”
Chang Lin nodded with a cold face, and said: "When I came, it was handed over to the officials of the palace to take care of, but it still takes time to interrogate, and now the search and rescue and clean-up are imminent, I must take people to find it immediately, but the matter of clearing the forces behind the scenes cannot be lost, these people must also be doing everything possible to search for the prince and Miss Mu, we may not be able to be faster than them, fortunately, even if there are more villains, they can't beat the officers and soldiers, let's send people to search for the prince and them, and on the other hand, we can clean up the bandits, even if we can't find the prince and them immediately, It can also let the bandits take care of themselves, which can also reduce the pressure on the little prince's side, and give us more time to find the prince and Miss Mu. ”
Chang Lin knew Xiao Lanhuan's ability very well, the team of people who attacked at night had all died in Yunwai Temple, even if that group of people still had a backhand, they couldn't find Xiao Lanhuan for a while, this group of people was well-trained, and they were ruthless, they must not be ordinary people. To be able to do it in the Hangzhou realm, the foundation must not be shallow, but I hate that he is now lacking in skills, Xiao Lanwei is not at ease to hand it over to others, otherwise he will definitely personally lead people to cut off the head of the black hand of the queen of Mu!
"I'll go too!" A voice suddenly came from the door of the room, Chang Lin and Zhou Qingnian looked up, and saw Yu Wenyuan walking in, his face was also serious, he could come to the prefect's yamen at this time, presumably he also received the news of the accident in Yunwai Temple.
"I broke in without waiting for the communication, it was rude on my part, but the situation was urgent, and I ask Governor Zhou for forgiveness." Yu Wenyuan walked up to Zhou Qingnian, hurriedly saluted, and then looked at Chang Lin and said: "This group of people will choose to do it tonight, it can be seen that it has been prepared for a long time, Hangzhou is an important place of two rivers, and these people with evil intentions must not be left here." What's more, Qingling also followed the little prince, the little prince's identity is sensitive and can't be exposed in front of others, I am in the search and rescue team, and I can also cover up for the little prince. ”
Zhou Qingnian thought about it slightly and felt that this plan was feasible. Chang Lin saw that Zhou Qingnian agreed, so he hugged his fist at Yu Wenyuan and said: "Without further ado, while the news from outside the city has not yet reached the city, we will leave immediately." ”
Zhou Qingnian hurriedly ordered to go down to interrogate the prisoners captured by Chang Lin, and after ordering the soldiers and servants, he followed Yu Wenyuan out of the city and went to Yunwai Temple.
The little prince had an accident in Yunwai Temple, and this matter must be concealed until Xiao Lanwei returns safely, otherwise as soon as the news comes out, the city will be a sensation, and it is uncertain whether there will be more people with ulterior intentions who will make an obstacle from it. Zhou Qingnian sat in Yunwai Temple, Yu Wenyuan and Chang Lin led people to search for the traces of Xiao Lanhuan and Mu Qingling overnight, and the living mouth in the prefect's prison became the only breakthrough now, and after being entertained by the official in charge of interrogation for two rounds, he vomited out a lot of things.
The night passed in such a tense atmosphere, and the next day, Xiao Lanwei rubbed her eyes and woke up. After Mu Qingling calmed down last night, he didn't dare to take Mu Qingling to wander in the forest with such a black light. I don't know if there are any pursuers behind him, so I can't even make a fire.
Fortunately, it was already summer, and it was not cool at night. Xiao Lanling found a leeward place, and Mu Qingling and the two of them leaned on a big tree for the night, and now Mu Qingling was still asleep on his shoulder in his coat, he moved his frozen neck, turned his head to look, and then woke Mu Qingling up softly.
Mu Qingling has grown so big, and she has never spent the night in the deep mountains and old forests, and at night, there will be a few sounds of animals running through the surrounding grass, which scared her so much that she didn't sleep well all night. Finally, when it was almost dawn, she took a nap in a daze, and now that she was called, she was still a little confused and couldn't figure out the situation.
Xiao Lanhuan rarely saw Mu Qingling's stupid appearance, and had the heart to look at it for a while, but was worried that Chang Lin didn't know what to do now, so he could only give up this rare opportunity abruptly, stretched out his hand and patted Mu Qingling gently, and said, "Senior sister, come back to your senses, we're leaving." ”
Mu Qingling came back to her senses in the soreness of her mixed body, she had never suffered like this, and after a night, her face was already very unsightly, but she didn't say that she was tired, she stood up and moved twice, looked at Xiao Lanwei and said, "Senior brother, where are we going?" ”
Xiao Lanwei looked around, and said helplessly: "Let's go to the east first, Hangzhou is not like the northwest, there are 100,000 mountains one after another, and you can't get out." This place also belongs to the boundary of Hangzhou, and it will never be deserted. ”
Mu Qingling was tired and tired now, and her body was still cold for a while, seeing that Xiao Lanhuan had determined the direction, she followed behind Xiao Lanhuan without saying a word and walked to the east.
The mountains and forests during the day are not as terrible as at night, the sunlight falls to the ground through the gaps between the branches, forming a small piece of land, star-like spots, the sky is dawning, the birds in the forest have also begun to move, the birdsong is far away, if it is not for the two of them to flee for their lives into the mountain, at this time it is rare to be leisurely and wild.
"Ahh Mu Qingling's feet slipped and fell forward. Xiao Lanhuan hurriedly turned around to catch her, Mu Qingling stood up with Xiao Lanhuan's strength, looked at Xiao Lanhuan with some embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble Senior Brother." ”
Mu Qingling now has a white face, her face is haggard, and her hair is a little messy. A good eldest lady, a person who doesn't even walk much on weekdays, but at this time she is walking on the mountain road one foot deep and one foot shallow, and she doesn't shout a word of bitterness or tiredness, she is like a tight bow, and she does not allow herself to have a trace of relaxation.
How can there be such a person? Xiao Lanwei couldn't understand Mu Qingling, with her status and status, she didn't need to let herself do this. But from the moment he met Mu Qingling, this girl had always given him a sense of urgency. It was as if she was carrying something as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea, and if she made a mistake, she would be crushed by those things.
"Senior brother?" Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanwei who was squatting in front of her in surprise, "Come up, I'll carry you." Xiao Lanwei said. Mu Qingling took a step back and said in a panic: "Don't dare to bother Senior Brother!" No, you can't...... How can the senior brother and the lord be ......" Xiao Lanhuan suddenly stood up, approached Mu Qingling, and looked at her steadily.
Mu Qingling was forced by Xiao Lanwei to lean against a tree, looked up at Xiao Lanwei stupidly, and quickly missed her eyes. She never dared to look directly into Xiao Lanwei's eyes, let alone at such a close distance.
"Little junior sister." Xiao Lanwei's voice was low, as if whispering in her ear.
"Huh?" Mu Qingling responded, feeling a little hot on her face.
"I'll hold you, or I'll carry you, you choose one yourself." The corners of Xiao Lanwei's mouth hooked up a smile, looking a little bad, with a different kind of charm.
Mu Qingling's face turned red when she boarded, and she was stunned for a while, and when she saw Xiao Lanhuan's clothes not letting go, she finally lay on Xiao Lanhuan's back. Xiao Lanwei is not strong, because she is tall, so sometimes she looks a little thin. After Mu Qingling went up, she found that Xiao Lanling was actually very strong, with wide shoulders and a thin waist, which was extraordinarily powerful.
And...... It was warm. Mu Qingling wrapped her hands around Xiao Lanhuan's neck, felt the temperature on his body, and secretly buried her red face in her arm.
