Chapter Forty-Eight: Snow at the Beginning of September

Bai Ling hugged the rice bowl and turned to the other side, so as not to be knocked over by the teenager today's dinner, she laughed, "How can I take you away?" After recording the confession in the Yamen of Zhuozhou Mansion, I also want to follow the Chang family army to continue north, don't forget, it is General Chang himself who wants to take the opportunity to sell the Li family's favor, are you following me into the net? ”

Li Yiru was stunned - yes!

"But...... It's not impossible. Bai Ling laughed.

"Good second brother, please stop selling Guanzi!"

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself," Bai Ling said softly, "You think about it yourself, and after the deer hunters have completely handed you over to the guards of the Chang Family's army, what is the way you can escape." ”

Li Yiru frowned, "Second brother means ......"

"These deer hunters are acting strangely and are extremely difficult to deal with, so you might as well keep to yourself during this time and act like you are going to be caught." Bai Ling said softly, "When the deer hunter is gone and your parents have not yet arrived in Zhuozhou, you will find a chance to run away." ”

The boy nodded, "And then?" ”

"General Wang Meng's troops are going to Yanzhou, that is, when they arrive in Yanzhou, the Changjia army that sent me north will change a group of people." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "If you want to go together, we can meet in Yanzhou City at that time, and then go north together......"

Li Yiru was about to say something, but Bai Ling said, "However, if your parents can offer a high bounty to attract deer hunters once, they must be able to attract them a second time. Whether you can escape depends on luck, maybe you can try to discuss with them and see if they can make a price to send you to Jingzhou safely. If you can really negotiate, you don't have to make a special trip to Yanzhou to wait for me. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, don't. Li Yiru shook his head again and again, "I don't want to go with them." ”

"I'm just talking," Bai Ling laughed, "Although they say that they recognize money and don't recognize people, I feel that they still give priority to the task of Chang Sheng's side, otherwise they won't let you go first when they see An Jiangbian, and give priority to those boat thieves." ”

Li Yiru sighed again, "But I think it's ......"

"If you have any plans, don't tell me." Bai Ling also sighed, "I have to rely on General Chang's people to escort you north, and I have to secretly help you escape from Chang's army, I don't know when I will suddenly turn away because I can't stand the condemnation of my conscienceβ€”β€”"

The boy took a deep breath, "...... Second brother! ”

Not long after, Wang Meng returned from the inspection, and several people had dinner together, and helped the logistics to do some finishing work together. The amount of swill for a meal of 8,000 people was staggering, and the firemen of the baggage troops had to dig temporary pits and bury the bones and vegetable residues.

All of this, Bai Ling and Li Yiru are seeing each other for the first time, and both of them feel very fresh, and they don't feel tired after a busy night's work.

In the middle of the night, Bai Ling woke up several times.

She and Li Yiru were under the same tent, and when she turned her head, she could see the restless sleeping face of the young man not far away.

Li Yiru probably had some nightmare, and he kept whispering in the fog, with a little coquettish annoyance on his face.

Bai Ling lay on his side, looking at Li Yiru with both hands, and he didn't know whether to envy or not for a while.

……

The army marched very fast during the day, but near Zhuozhou, the terrain gradually became uneven, and the mountains also increased, and the soldiers and horses wandered forward between the lofty mountains and mountains, and every once in a while, there would be scouts to report the way forward.

One rainy day, the procession happened to be in Pingchuan, and they also encountered a large mud pool that the three of Bai Ling had encountered earlier, and they would wrap wood chips under the hooves of the horses, and walk arm in arm with each other, all of them walking on the meadows, jumping from one meadow to another at intervals, or exploring the depths of the road with their swords.

In this way, no one has ever been in danger.

Bai Ling and Li Yiru followed silently, but at the same time they were worried about Mu Cheng's safetyβ€”and they didn't know if he was in danger when he passed by here alone.

This wasteland seems to be lonely, and if you are deep in the mud, I am afraid that no one can save you.

On the evening of the seventh day, everyone finally came to the city of Zhuozhou.

Wang Meng was not in a hurry to enter the city, but first ordered the troops to camp twenty miles outside the city, and then he took a few of his cronies and Bai Ling into the city on horseback.

The city of Zhuozhou in the distance showed her silhouette in the setting sun, and the towering city wall in the distance showed the tragedy of the end in the golden sunset, the defenders on the city wall held spears, motionless, everything was frozen there, only the banner of the Great Zhou fluttered in the wind on the city wall.

Li Yiru suddenly felt something floating on his face, he raised his head a little strangely and stretched out his hand in front of him.

A snowball landed on his fingertips, and the moment it fell, it was melted into tiny droplets by the heat of his palm.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's snowing. He looked at Bai Ling with some surprise, "Second brother! It's snowing! ”

Bai Ling was also stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the sky.

Li Yiru pinched his fingers and calculated, "Today is the ...... of early September."

"The sixth day of junior high school." Bai Ling replied.

Li Yiru's voice was surprised, "Zhuozhou...... It snowed in Zhuozhou at the beginning of September!! ”

The officer who walked in front looked back and laughed, "It's cold early this year, what is this little bit of snow, the snow in Jingzhou will be knee-free at this time!" ”

Yukiko stopped and stopped, and when they entered the city gate, their bodies and hair were covered with water, as if they had just come from a drizzle.

The prefect of Zhuozhou came to greet him in person, and talked to Wang Meng for a long time in the pavilion by the city gate, although the young man felt that it was not appropriate to eavesdrop, but the surroundings were too quiet, and the conversation between the two was still endless.

He listened a little bored to Wang Meng and the prefect of Zhuozhou talking about what Chang Sheng was doing during this time, this prefect's surname was Cao, and he sounded like he had a bit of a personal relationship with Chang Sheng, and he talked with Wang Meng on the spot on a whim, and he couldn't even wait to invite Wang Meng and others to the mansion first.

A few people talked about Chang Sheng, and then Shen Jichuan, and when they talked about the deer hunter and Li Yiru, the young man straightened his back and pricked up his ears, and when he was about to finish listening to their plan, he hurriedly bumped Bai Ling's hand.

"They're going to come tonight to record a confession for us." Li Yiru said softly, "It seems that their General Wang will not stop at all in Zhuozhou, Lord Cao has already prepared all the grain and grass for supply, and tomorrow the family army will enter the city, pull up the supplies and leave." ”

"So fast?"

Li Yiru smiled, "Well, this Lord Cao said that he prepared a small courtyard for me in the county office, it seems that I don't have to squat in the class room-"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling asked with some concern.

"They said......" Li Yiru's face changed, "Brother Mu was arrested yesterday. ”
