The road from the small courtyard to the garden was unusually smooth, and he didn't meet a single soldier, which was naturally arranged by Wen Zhao in advance.

I tiptoed into the depths of the peach forest, and even though the moon was clear tonight, the clusters of dead branches in the woodland were really obscuring people's view.

Xu was still apprehensive about what had happened here, and when I turned back and forth on the trail twice and still couldn't find Wen Zhao, my heart began to beat wildly, and even the mist seemed to sink into my clothes and stick to my skin, which made people feel a kind of cold discomfort. I couldn't stand the torture of this dead silence any longer, and I tried to suppress my trembling voice and called out into the darkness:

"Wen Zhao! Elder brother! Where are you? ”

After calling in all directions for a long time, it was still quiet.

The shadow of the branches under the moon is lost, but where is there half a person?

I turned my heart sideways, and was about to step out of the gravel path to the forest on the left, when suddenly a big hand slapped my shoulder behind me, and I was so startled that I almost jumped up, and only when I turned around did I open my mouth, but Wen Zhao's other hand quickly and firmly covered it.

"Shh......h Don't you shout loudly enough, aren't you afraid of alarming the patrol outside! ”

Wen Zhao saw that I was trembling and getting weaker, so he slowly let go of his hand. My heart was beating at no other rate, and a cold sweat was already pouring out on my body. The night wind blows up the frost and mist, and it is an unbearable chill.

"Brother, how are you... You ......"

"It's been delayed for so long, I thought I'd go back to the camp if you didn't come in a moment."

Wen Zhao grabbed my hand and pulled me into the woods, "Fortunately, I arranged it early in the morning, and all the guards have diverged your yard tonight." However, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, and the officers and soldiers who patrol the night in the city should gradually relax at this time, otherwise the distance from the West City to the East City will really hinder them from walking under their noses. ”

"Brother... Where's my aunt's restaurant? Wen Zhao's steps were very large, and I staggered to dodge the branches that stood in front of me from time to time, "Is it far away from the Hou Mansion, can't I find it alone?" ”

"The inner city of Kazhou City is within a radius of 100 miles, Lifu is at the end of the West Market, and the Taopin Building is in the East Market, and the distance is naturally not close. But with your footsteps, I believe that it will arrive without a stick of incense. Wen Zhao walked in front of him and whispered, "As for the location... There are four peach blossom streets in the East Market, which is the most prosperous place in the whole of Kazhou, and you must be able to find it. ”

"Dongshi, Taopinlou..."I listened to Wen Zhao's hurried and perfunctory tone, and my heart became more and more bottomless. Brother, otherwise... Come back with me! ”

"How can it be done, it's been inappropriate for me to sneak out of the camp for a long time, and it will be a big trouble if I go out of the house again and be discovered!" Wen Zhao turned his head and frowned at me, but his steps did not slow down in the slightest, "What's more, my light skills are far from yours, and when I am discovered by the officers and soldiers, won't it hurt you!" ”

"But... Brother, I'm now-"

"—here we are!"

Wen Zhao stopped abruptly, I gasped, and there was a faint pain in my lower abdomen.

When I looked up, I saw that there were no dead trees in front of me, and it was like a small flat and empty piece of land. This vacant land is not large, and it seems to be the end of the peach forest. There is a delicate and simple rockery in front, but behind the rockery is a tall crimson wall of the Hou Mansion.

"Ling'er, listen, we are short on time, you must remember every word I say now."

Wen Zhao turned around and grabbed my shoulders, and said in a solemn tone: "My brother is not skilled, so he really can't accompany you on the road." However, it is late at night, and it is expected that the patrols in the city will not be too strict. Remember, the place you're going to is the largest restaurant in the city, called Taopinlou. What you're looking for is our aunt, her name is Hua Jiangtang. I've already sent her a message that you'll go back tonight, and she'll send someone to answer it. What I'm going to tell you now is the whole route, you remember it carefully, after going out, cross the bridge to the left, enter the outer 13th Avenue, go straight north is the Huangong River, go straight along the Huangong River to the east, you will see a wide street of 18 zhang, that is the main street in the center of Kazhou, Changning Street. Passing through Changning Street and then going forward is the East Market, you count the number of intersections you pass, count to the fourth stop and look south, you can see the front building of our peach sales building. ”

"Taopinlou, Huajiangtang, Outer Thirteen Roads, Huangong River, and then to the west... No, to the east, Changning Street, the fourth crossing...... "I looked at Wen Zhao who was staring at me in the moonlight, his eyes were deep and his brows were locked, and there was some crying in his voice for no reason, "Brother, what if I can't remember......?" ”

"Nonsense! Even if you lose your memory now, you haven't lost your mind, with your intelligence, how can you not remember a few roads! Wen Zhao shook my shoulder, and his tone even had a hint of reproach, "At this time, you should stop joking with your brother, if you change Aunt Hua, you will have to be scared." ”

"I'm not..."I let out a moan that looked like a pleading, and looked up at the wall behind the rockery again, "Brother, and this wall is too high, how can I climb over......

"Who wants you to go over the wall, silly sister." Wen Zhao snorted lightly and looked at the rockery in front of him, "This mountain is hollow, and there is a secret door on the ground, which can lead directly to the river outside the mansion." ”

"Hmm," I glanced at the rocks in the moonlight, a little embarrassed, "how did you know there was a secret door?" ”

"This is a secret passage I dug myself in the early years, how could I not know..."Wen Zhao said impatiently, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I go to see you in Taopinlou in the future, and now it's the most important thing for you to get out quickly." ”

"-Brother," I turned around to break free of Wen Zhao's hand that pushed me towards the rockery, "I just walked away, will Master Hou be very sad?" ”

"If you and I are arrested by the government soldiers today, it will not be too much for Hou Ye to kill us..."Wen Zhao pushed me one wall and muttered, "You have time to worry about him, you might as well worry about yourself!" ”

"I'm serious, brother, after I leave today, can you take care of Master Hou for my life, so as to help me comfort me——"

"—shh

"Brother! I beg you, I know you don't want me to have too much to do with Master Hou, but he did save you-"

"-Silence!"

I was startled by this sudden scream, and under the moonlight, I saw Wen Zhao's eyes closed tightly, and his face was cold.

The night breeze blew, and his ears moved, and he turned slowly, raising his sword to the mist-shrouded peach forest behind him.

"You don't leave the house to settle down, do you want to follow us here in the middle of the night to find death?"

No response. The mist was thick in the cold moonlight, accompanied by the cool breeze blowing through the branches, adding a bit of weirdness. I slowly approached Wen Zhao, stroked the cold and solid armor on his back, and called in a low voice:

“… Elder brother? ”

The thunder was startled, and an arrow suddenly whistled towards me from the middle of the mist, Wen Zhao's wrist flicked, the scabbard in his hand shook off, the moonlight reflected a cold silver light, my eyes flickered, and the powerful flying arrow was bounced away by the scabbard.

Before he could land, Wen Zhao hurriedly struck, and two beams of golden light were thrown back into the depths of the mist, but when I heard two crisp sounds, a figure suddenly leaped out, holding an iron hook high and slashing at me. In the moonlight, the man's face was pale and hideous, and his deeply sunken eyes shone with a terrifying look like a devouring devil.

It's Yohara.
