Chapter 53: The Swallow of Freedom

That night, all the secret guards who had been lurking near the Bailing courtyard were withdrawn.

Bai Ling didn't even say such a request explicitly, but inadvertently mentioned that when he changed his clothes a few times, he felt that there was a line of sight nearby, but if he looked closely, he didn't find a figure.

I was so hungry for too long that I was hallucinating.

Chen Yicong's face was gloomy when he heard thisβ€”he even specifically told the secret guards who were watching nearby to keep an eye on the exit of the small courtyard, and never sneak into the house, especially the girls' rooms.

In the evening, although Chen Yicong still wanted to stay and continue to eat with Bai Ling, he had too many things left behind during the day.

Bai Ling asked him when he would come tomorrow, and Chen Yicong just wanted to answer that he didn't want to leave tonight at all.

"That's it," seeing that Chen Yicong didn't speak for a long time, Bai Ling said, "I'm really tired today...... Tomorrow morning I will wake up, and I will go to the Temple of Nourishing the Heart. ”

"Okay." Chen Yicong nodded, and after a while, he replied, "Okay, okay." ”

"What about today...... That's it? ”

"Hmm." Chen Yicong nodded again.

Bai Ling bowed his head, "Zhao Qi, make a lantern and send the emperor out." ”

……

Late at night, Bai Ling squatted in the backyard, washing his hands over and over again.

She went back to her room alone, studied the ink by herself, laid the paper on the table and spread it out on the table, and began to write a letter.

If Wei Ying couldn't take her away tonight, then she could at least ask this weird-tempered old master to pass the letter to Fourteen.

On this winter night, Bai Ling pressed the stove with his left hand and held a pen in his right hand, writing slowly.

In the past seven years, the bits and pieces of experience with Fourteen have slowly surfaced in my heart.

At first, I was sincerely happy for the future freedom of Fourteen, but at the end of the writing, tears fell down the paper one by one.

In the end, it would be a separation under such circumstances, which she really did not expect.

As he imagined his life in the future, he suddenly felt once again as if he was in the middle of a vast and intertwined vein of fate.

There have been so many people around her, so many things have happened.

Sometimes others are like bows, and oneself is an arrowβ€”riding the tension of other people's lives, flying farther into the unknown.

And tonight, she will also be a longbow, casting Fourteen's fate far away.

"Has Xiao Siyao finished crying?" Suddenly a voice in the air asked, "After crying, we can go." ”

Bai Ling was startled and quickly wiped away his tears.

"Wait...... I'm going to get some more things. ”

……

From the prison to the dark ditch beyond the Hundred Flowers, Bai Ling didn't know how Wei Ying brought Fourteen out.

But when she really saw Fourteen, who was still unconscious under a pile of straw, she couldn't think about it anymore.

Bai Ling quickly stepped forward and leaned over to remove a few straws from Fourteen's face, her teeth chattering involuntarily.

Although Wei Ying had already told her that Fourteen was seriously injured, Bai Ling could never have imagined that Fourteen's injuries would be so serious.

Wei Fourteen in front of her, she was almost unrecognizable.

Tonight, Wei Shishi's high fever did not go away, and his hair was scattered again, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of his former demeanor.

The wounds on his body were very simply bandaged, and the bandages were stained with blood.

All the exposed skin is piping hot.

"Fourteen...... Fourteen ......"

Bai Ling shook his hand a little helplessly.

"Can you hear me? Fourteen...... Open your eyes and look at me...... Fourteen ......"

Wei Shixi lay in the straw pile of the cart and frowned slightly, as if he heard Bai Ling's voice, but he never opened his eyes.

Bai Ling turned his head and looked at Wei Ying, "Will he still survive?" ”

Wei Ying's expression was grim, "Depend on fate." ”

"Sister Bai Ling," in the dark, Ah Li frowned and opened his mouth, "If you don't leave, the changing of the guard at the sewage outlet will have to wait until two hours later, the night is long and there are many dreams, let's not delay, right?" ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, she quickly stuffed the letter in her arms to Wei Shixi's waist, and stood aside with tears in her eyes.

Ah Li and several other young men stepped forward one after another, and spread straw on Wei Shixi's body again.

They made a gesture to Bolin, which means "rest assured."

These children, who grew up near Baihuaya, quickly disappeared into the night like a drop of water melted into the sea.

Bai Ling looked at their distant backs, and tears fell again.

In the dead of night, she couldn't cry, so Bai Ling lowered her head and bit her wrist hard.

"Bai Si Yao looks very distressed for my apprentice." Wei Ying whispered on the side, "Actually, you have another choice. ”

With some confusion, Bai Ling turned his head to look at Wei Ying nearby.

"You can come with Fourteen tonight." Wei Ying said expressionlessly, and he also looked at Bai Ling.

Tears welled up in Bai Ling's eyes, and he shook his head vigorously.

"You are outside the palace now, if you want to leave, the old man can immediately take you to catch up with them."

"I ...... Can't ......"

"Why?" Wei Ying's eyes were slightly cold, "He left like this, can you rest assured?" ”

Bai Ling still shook his head, "Bai Yi and my father...... I'm still in prison, I can't ...... Leave them alone. ”

Wei Ying laughed slightly mockingly.

"So you just dropped Fourteen? Xiao Si Yao's appointments in front of the Queen Mother's bed, what to take care of each other, don't let go...... Sure enough, it's all deceptive nonsense. ”

Bai Ling glanced at Wei Ying with some surprise.

She suddenly had some guesses about why Wei Ying suddenly got up tonight and wanted to take her out of the palace and take her to see Fourteen, and then now she said such a thing.

"Master Wei...... Would you love to see me leave with Fourteen tonight? ”

Wei Ying did not answer.

Bai Ling lowered her eyes, trying to calm her breathing, and she looked at Wei Ying again.

"I don't know what happened between you and the Queen Mother back then...... Bai Ling's voice trembled, "But today, I must not go with Fourteen." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... If I go with him, he will come back. ”

Wei Ying showed a puzzled expression.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He will definitely come back and continue to rescue Bai Yi and my father. Bai Ling's voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth.

Wei Ying was even more puzzled, "Why?" He's not Bai Yi and your father's secret guard. ”

Bai Ling's patience was almost at the limit, and she lowered her head and bit her wrist again.

"Because...... I will definitely be back. ”

Wei Ying finally understood, and he let out a soft breath.

"Forget it." Wei Ying said in a low voice, "Let's go back." ”

……

That night, the cart carrying Wei 14 set off from the starting point that Bai Ling had planned for three years, and after several turnarounds on the way, it finally drove slowly towards the west of the Great Zhou.

About the morning of the third day, Wei XIV woke up in the carriage.

When I opened my eyes, the faint morning light poured through the cracks in the windows, the unfamiliar roof, and the swaying carriage......

Wei Shixi blinked his eyes in a trance, and then suddenly realized something and sat up suddenly.

There was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he lowered his head with a somewhat hideous expression - forgetting that there were still injuries on his body.

At his waist, he saw a letter.

On the envelope was Bai Ling's handwriting, which briefly read:

Fourteen pro-enlightenment
