Chapter XXIV: A Letter

Early in the morning, Zuo Xiangling woke up to the sound of chirping birds, and stretched his waist only to find that Shangguan Feibai didn't know where to go.

Looking around, there are dense forests, and there is no trace of people at all, so I think it should be an old forest in the deep mountains somewhere.

Somehow, Zuo Xiangling felt that the hairs on her body stood up, and she felt very nervous and insecure.

"Shangguan?"

Shouting, Zuo Xiangling walked out in a certain direction, checking if there was anything nearby to satisfy her stomach as she walked, she was now so hungry that her stomach growled.

Just after clearing a large bush, a face flashed in front of her, and she almost screamed in fright.

"Where have you been?"

Zuo Xiangling thought that Shangguan Feibai had left her and ran away alone, but now that she saw that Shangguan Feibai hadn't left, she felt very down-to-earth.

"You eat some wild fruits first, and we'll hurry as soon as we're done."

After speaking, he handed the wild fruit in his hand to Zuo Xiangling, Zuo Xiangling's hand was not as good as his, so he only took four fist-sized pears and couldn't take them, Zuo Xiangling simply threw the middle of the first into the burden on his back, and took the remaining few in Shangguan Feibai's hands with a smile.

"You can eat it too, I'll carry it first, and I'll get it for you when I'm done."

Zuo Xiangling saw that Shangguan Feibai didn't take anything except his long sword, and he didn't know where the night clothes on his body went, so he probably threw them away in the morning.

As he spoke, he ate the pear and walked in front, it was only about mid-August, and it was not yet time for the pears to ripen, so this pear was dry and astringent in the mouth, but this was already the best food that could be found at present, and Zuo Xiangling did not dare to be picky.

The two walked one after the other like this, Zuo Xiangling didn't dare to speak when she was tired along the way, after all, she caused Shangguan Feibai to flee with her, where did she dare to complain about anything.

However, Shangguan Feibai didn't say anything except to stop Zuo Xiangling when he was about to rest, just walked behind with his sword.

In fact, he has been paying attention to Zuo Xiangling, and when he saw that she couldn't walk, he asked her to stop and rest, thanks to no one catching up, but as long as someone chased, they couldn't be so easy.

"Oops, I can't do it, can we take a break?"

Zuo Xiangling walked under a tree in a few steps, now the weather is surprisingly hot, although they are walking under the shade of the tree, but it is inevitable that their bodies will heat up when they move, Shangguan Feibai, a person who practices martial arts, naturally feels that there is nothing, but Zuo Xiangling is not a mortal.

Now her feet are like lead, she is just walking mechanically, she could still hold on to her life before, but now she really has no strength at all, so she can only sit under the tree and look at Shangguan Feibai with her eyes.

Shangguan Feibai still didn't speak, just leaned against another tree and began to rest, Zuo Xiangling knew that this was a promise, and began to reach out to touch the package behind, and it turned out that apart from the clothes that Fang Zishi had packed up for her, there was only one hard thing.

She was busy along the way, she didn't take it out to see, this time she took it out and looked, it turned out to be her small box containing money, and when she opened it to see that there was nothing less in it, she couldn't help but smile.

Putting things away, she rummaged through the package again, and found that there was not a single pear left, which she remembered to have filled with a dozen or so, but now there is no one.

Along the way, as long as she was hungry and thirsty, she would take one to eat, and said that she would leave a few for Shangguan Feibai, except for the one she gave at the beginning, she didn't give one later, which was embarrassing to think about.

Putting the burden on his back, Zuo Xiangling didn't dare to complain, and was about to continue his journey, when he was pulled into the bushes by Shangguan Feibai.

"Don't make a sound."

Zuo Xiangling nodded, and when she looked up, she saw a team of people and horses galloping past, the clothes they were wearing Zuo Xiangling knew, it was the kind of flying fish suit worn by the brocade guards on TV, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was really more imposing.

Even if people don't look at you, they feel a pressure coming to you, and if you are a little timid, you should kneel.

"Where are they going?"

The others had already walked away and couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves, so Zuo Xiangling turned his head to look at Shangguan Feibai.

Shangguan Feibai withdrew the hand she had placed on Zuo Xiangling's head the moment she turned her head.

"It should be Jingzhou in this direction, but it doesn't seem that they should be there unless they ......"

Zuo Xiangling has known Shangguan Feibai for so long, and it is the first time to see him frowning, although it does not affect his handsome appearance, but it makes people panic when they look at it.

"Unless what?"

blurted out a question, but did not get an answer from Shangguan Feibai, Zuo Xiangling's most intuitive feeling was that the speed of their journey had accelerated, and after thinking about it carefully, he vaguely guessed something.

On the other side, the people in the prison found that Zuo Xiangling was missing as early as the shift change, and reported to the Taishou.

Taishou was afraid that Ji Chen would be even more annoyed in the middle of the night, so he didn't dare to report Ji Chen, and waited until Ji Chen finished breakfast before telling Ji Chen.

"That's how you show me?"

With these words, there was also the sound of the table shattering, and Taishou was so frightened that he knelt on the marble slab on the spot, and he didn't go up to his knees at all.

"Back to Your Highness, when I found it last night, I had already sent someone to arrest it, and the people guarding the city gate replied that they had crossed the city wall directly and went out of the city."

Taishou is now lying on the ground, his body is shaking, like a big king, if he rests on it, he will definitely be able to smile at Ji Chen, but now, Ji Chen doesn't have that heart at all.

Raising his feet and hurriedly walking outside, Taishou got up from the ground tremblingly and followed, and when he left, he couldn't help but look back at the place where he had just knelt.

At this time, there were more water stains that should not have appeared, and he didn't care about his already soaked pants, and seeing that Ji Chen was about to disappear from view, Taishou had to speed up his pace.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Chen appeared at the door of the first floor, and the servant behind him knocked the door open.

Since the person guarding the city gate said that they were a man and a woman, there must be another person in the first floor, no matter who it was, it would become a bargaining chip for him to let Zuo Xiangling go to the capital.

Under the violent impact of a group of people, the whole door collapsed, and when the dust subsided, Ji Chen didn't go in.

On that stool, within a moment, someone appeared with Fang Zishi.

Glancing at Fang Zishi, Ji Chen couldn't help but snort lightly, his eyes full of mockery.

Fang Zishi saw Ji Chen sitting, and Na Taishou bowed beside him, and at a glance he knew who was the master and who was the servant, and couldn't help but sigh Ji Chen's origin.

After breaking free, he was still restrained by others, Fang Zishi simply didn't move, and fell straight down, not afraid that those people would throw him to the ground.

"Tell me, where have the people gone?"

Ji Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Zishi, then shifted his gaze and began to look at the lobby, Fang Zishi couldn't help but feel that he was really thinking about how to demolish the first floor.

"I don't know, but my boss left you a letter."
