Sure enough, Murong Tianlian said lightly, Xia Xiaoxiao guessed this answer.

"Luozhi is really in Nanming Country now, right?"

This person's steps are not as big as Beigong Yu's, but leisurely, revealing that calm and relaxed appearance.

"How much silver do you want to take me to him?"

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back, behind her, there was a vast crowd of people who didn't invite people's faces, the city wall was full of officers and soldiers who were searching for her in the streets and alleys, outside the city wall, there were all ordinary people, far away, the figure of Wuxi gradually became a small dot, they didn't plan to expand the search range to this side. Immediately after Xia Xiaoxiao's face was very smiling, Beigong Yu ordered the door to be sealed, just not to let people in or out, at this time, many people who wanted to enter Ye City were surrounded at the city gate, and many people passing by looked at her, she was in a good mood at this time, and she didn't care about the small padded jacket outside, dirty, she only brought a set of women's clothes and a set of men's clothes when she came out this time, and the body was broken, and the women's clothes were not convenient to change at this time, she waited to buy a convenient set of men's clothes when she arrived in the next town.

"Not planning to go back?"

Murong Tianlian walked unhurriedly, his hands were clasped in his cuffs, his long and wide sleeves hung straight down, and in the distance, a red horse like a flame could be seen.

"Where?" Xia Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and stared at him, and the small steps she walked also jumped up, only to know that he was asking if she planned to return to Beijing again, she paused, "Didn't you say that I had a poor life in the palace, so what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

It's not that it's really cold!

Beigong Yu's people who had worked hard to find her were all left behind by her, and after running all night, they were completely relieved, not only did they lose their tiredness, but they were even more energetic, and they trotted in front of Murong Tianlian with their feet, and the laughter seemed to be able to pass through a few streets, and she didn't know how to restrain someone looking at her like a fool.

Why convergence? Only in the world outside the palace can she laugh so unbridledly, she has been holding back in the palace for so long, suffering for so long, suffering for so long, suffering from the anger of Beigong Yu's old fox and her father for so long, now, at this moment, her dream, her dream of rivers and lakes is now at her feet! How could she not be happy?

Her feet felt like she was dreaming when she stepped on the road.

She raised the burden in her hand, and when she raised it, the burden was thrown away for her, and the clothes inside were scattered all over the ground, but what are the clothes? The amount of money she drops on the ground is important! Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, and the thief-like little eyes secretly glanced at the people passing by, looking like a little leopard, if anyone dared to hit her silver idea, she would immediately pounce on it and tear that person to pieces!

Xia Xiaoxiao was busy picking up the silver, the smile on her face couldn't be dispersed, not only the silver stuffed into the burden in her hands, but also those valuable Huanpei Lingyu, glazed jade, and things brought out from Beigong Yu Palace could be sold at a good price, seeing Murong Tinglian walking over slowly, she was very proud to throw the previous thirty taels to him, and attached a piece of broken silver of ten taels, and smiled happily, "Lord is happy today, reward you!" ”

Murong tilted his hand in his sleeve and stretched it out, and the forty taels of silver fell firmly into his palm, and then ignored Xia Xiaoxiao's words that it was a reward for him, and walked past her and continued to walk forward.

I don't know how many people's hands have to go through this thing, I don't know how many dirty things have been left on it, and even some of them have fallen into the dung pit, and as long as it is related to money, don't they all say that they are stained with copper smell, Murong Tianlian has a habit of cleanliness, but what thing in this world can be dirtier than money? I've never seen him soft! Xia Xiaoxiao muttered a few words in her heart, got up and followed, not to mention this peacock, she also loves this copper smell!

"I know you know where the end is, as long as you are willing to take me to find him, you offer me to pay."

It's rare for Xia Xiaoxiao to be so refreshing, and today is the second time she has been so refreshing! It can be seen how many flowers should be happy in her heart.

Walking and walking, there was an extra horse in front of them, red hair, tall, Xia Xiaoxiao saw this horse, next to the horse, there was another woman riding on a brown and black horse, she didn't expect that the old farsighted man and this horse were actually waiting for him.

"Landlord."

The woman on the horse saw them coming, turned over and dismounted and bowed to the green peacock beside her on half her knees, this woman looked good on her face, dressed in red, covered with a layer of tulle, but she still couldn't stop the look in her eyebrows, but this woman, compared to the ordinary woman's expression, Xia Xiaoxiao still recognized it, the Nine Lotus Dance at the lotus banquet This woman is the most amazing one to appear!

Murong Tianlian didn't glance at her from the corner of his eyes, and jumped on his horse, "If you want to find yourself, the owner of this building doesn't have time to spend time with you." ”

The woman got on the horse behind him, and wanted to gallop away in the direction of the south with Murong Tianlian, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but the woman in red blocked her on a horse, and shouted angrily with her sword in her hand, "Presumptuous!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her slightly, and shouted at Murong Tinglian, who was riding behind her, "Hey, if you are afraid of causing trouble with me, then why don't you tell me where is the end in Nanming Kingdom?" Send the Buddha to the west, how about I give you a few dozen taels? ”

The terrain of Nanming Country is not smaller than Yue Huaguo, so a huge country, where should she find it in every direction in such a hurry?

She thought that if she opened a price of a few dozen taels, the peacock would be able to stop the horse galloping into the distance, not to mention taking her along, so that she could say a word to her, which one he didn't seem to hear, and walked away with the horse, the flaming horse was fast, she shouted twice, the man had already ridden the horse and disappeared, Xia Xiaoxiao stared at the woman in front of her with a sword pointing at her with a flattering smile, "Girl, which direction is your master going to Nanming Kingdom?" ”

"If you dare to follow, ask more questions that you shouldn't ask, be careful that this Dharma Protector cuts your tongue!"

Hong Lian drew his sword and said loudly, his gaze seemed to be about to Ling Chi Xia Xiaoxiao, Xia Xiaoxiao immediately covered his mouth and took several steps back to a safe distance, Hong Lian glanced at her and chased in the direction of Murong Qianlian, the horse galloped, kicked his hind legs and kicked the ground again and again, raising an overwhelming amount of ash, choking Xia Xiaoxiao's face.

She thought about the reality too well, and now she is in distress, and she thinks that she has met someone who can draw a knife to help her and escort her by the way, but since this person knows where she is located, she can't buy the news from his mouth with any money.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back and hurriedly glanced back, she didn't have the heart to stay longer, her top priority now was to go to the next town to take care of herself before she could have the spirit to go on the road.

Things were unexpected by Xia Xiaoxiao, she originally planned to go to Yecheng to repair for the night, and on the second day, she spent some money in Yecheng to ask someone from the dart bureau to send her all the way out of Yuehua, so that the speed of escorting from Yecheng to Nanming in the dart bureau took only two months, but now Beigong Yu has posted a notice in the city, Xia Xiaoxiao can't even show her face, she can't even hire a carriage, and she can't ride a horse, if she goes on like this, it will take at least a year or two to take time, and second, she may go in the wrong direction halfway.

The traces of Murong Tinglian and the others didn't know how many towns they had thrown her out, Xia Xiaoxiao went all the way south, while still worrying that there would be people from Beigong Yu behind her who suddenly chased her out, and when Murong Tianlian threw her outside the gate of Yecheng City, many people passed by and saw it, even if she lost her strength while walking, she still didn't dare to stay for half a minute.

She remembered that there was a hundred tea town after going all the way to Nanye City, she was going to go to the town to see if Beigong Yu had a wanted notice, if not, she would hire a carriage or something, if she wanted to find Luozhi, if she wanted to break into the rivers and lakes, she first had to save her life, Beigong Yu really threatened to find her yesterday and break her legs, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't believe that when he fell into his hands, it was as simple as breaking his legs, and he might scrape himself.

Although it was daytime, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take the avenue, walking around the jungle, there were paths between the jungles, the winding path in the bushes extended forward, and there was a stream down the road, the sound of the murmuring water made her relax a little, but it was only for a moment, she was now running for her life, is it important to rest or to escape?

Because it is equally important to hide people's eyes and ears, she found a place to avoid the light of the tree and then re-arranged her clothes, although the cold weather, she rushed down a lot of sweat on her body, she re-wrapped her corseted breasts, took off her small padded jacket and put on the dirty and torn coat again, her face fell while hurrying, and a bloody mark was drawn on her cheek, plus the stains on her face, Ben's face with a little bit of posture suddenly became ugly.

Out of the palace, everything has to rely on herself, in addition to escaping from Beigong Yu's pursuers, she also has to guard against those robbers, now silver is very important to her, so the uglier and poorer the dress, the best look, at this time this man clothes go out, even if he recognizes her as a daughter, no one wants to beat her.

In such a hurry, Xia Xiaoxiao lasted for a whole day and a night, and there was still no sign of chasing the pursuers behind him, Xia Xiaoxiao was thinking about whether Beigong Yu would give up, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the avenue not far from the jungle, Xia Xiaoxiao's heart that had just relaxed immediately came up again, and looked at the side of the avenue, and sure enough, he saw the people of the Yecheng official mansion going to the south with a wave of horses' hooves, and from time to time stopped a few people to search for the jungle.

"I've searched them all carefully! Bring in any symbolic resemblance or any suspicious character! The emperor will leave for the palace tomorrow, although he has found a reward of five hundred taels of silver, but if you can't find anyone before this, let alone silver, none of you have good fruit to eat! ”

The red-clothed official on the horse shouted, and left a few junior officials behind him to find him in the jungle, and then he rode away, Beigong Yu is making people search like this along the way!

Five hundred taels! Xia Xiaoxiao was moved when she heard it! I'm afraid that the ones on her body now don't add up to these five hundred taels! Beigong Yu really looked up to her, and for a while Xia Xiaoxiao thought again, was the five hundred taels of silver she handed over to her?

"Ahh Xia Xiaoxiao, you are so good! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao hated that iron was not steel, and gently slapped herself with an ear, Beigong Yu let her go back so that there was no good fruit to eat!

These officials really took Beigong Yu's silver one by one, let them search carefully, they were not sloppy at all, Xia Xiaoxiao was glad that she didn't go to the road from the beginning, these rural forests are not small, no matter how many people those officials have, it is not a small matter of effort to search, Xia Xiaoxiao started to run again with her feet, Beigong Yu will return to the palace tomorrow, as long as she can survive Beigong Yu's return to the palace tomorrow, then these pursuers will definitely give up, and then she will be high and let the birds fly, As long as he is not in the same world as Beigong Yu, what if he is the emperor? There was always a place where his hand couldn't reach.

She leaned on, those officers and soldiers relied on horses, searched and searched to Xia Xiaoxiao's front, the sky gradually darkened, the winter sky was dark early, just around the jungle when the tree was dropped by a farmer The firewood knife was picked up by her, barely a weapon in hand, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care about whether there was much danger in the countryside at night, and still planned to catch up for another night.

"Goo......

Xia Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach with one hand, and waved weakly in front of her with the hand holding the firewood knife, cutting off some thorns that were blocked under her or in front of her, but her vision gradually began to blur, these days she barely ate a meal in Yecheng at noon yesterday, because there was an official errand searching the street everywhere, she didn't even have time to buy it, plus she never closed her eyes for a day and a night, her head was swollen and painful, and as soon as it got dark, she gradually couldn't see anything clearly in front of her, Suddenly, it seemed that something was tripped under his feet, and Xia Xiaoxiao's whole person fell to the ground!

In the haze, it seems, she felt a swollen bag on her head.

When I woke up again, I still felt that it was pitch black.

Xia Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, and the things above her head seemed to be clearer, and it took a long time for her to see clearly that what was above her head was not an open-air tree, but a roof!

Her silver!

Suddenly sat up, saw the burden tightly grasped in his hand, Xia Xiaoxiao immediately opened it to check, by the faint candlelight in the room, Xia Xiaoxiao turned the burden over and over several times, only then he was slightly relieved, fortunately, he didn't lose anything.

Tightly grasping the burden on his chest, he began to look at the environment around him, the simple house, even the bed she was lying on at this time was a very awkward stone bed, and the thin quilt on her body on such a cold day even had several holes broken on it.

She was the only one in this small room at this time, how did she come here?

"Yo, little brother, woke up so soon?"

In his thoughts, the door not far from the bed was suddenly pushed open, and a thick-eyed cloth-clothed farmer came in, still holding a hoe in his hand.

Xia Xiaoxiao gathered the burden in her arms, and looked at this person vigilantly, as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, there are so many valuable things in her arms!

"Little brother, don't worry, I brought you back when I saw you faint in the mountains and forests at night, and we haven't touched your things."

The rough man came over and said with a smile, Xia Xiaoxiao remembered that he seemed to have fainted in the jungle, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and deliberately lowered his voice before speaking, "Thank you for this big brother for rescuing." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was about to get out of bed, but her hands softened a little, and she almost fell down again, and the feeling of emptiness in her stomach made her uncomfortable again.

"Little brother, don't move, just call me Brother Niu, look at you like this, you haven't eaten for a few days to make it like this, just now I asked the woman to cook a bowl of noodles for you, just eat it."

Brother Niu hurriedly supported her, and a fat woman came in at the door at this time, glanced at her, sat down at the table by himself, and said angrily, "It turns out that he is not dead." ”

"What nonsense are you asking you to cook noodles?" Brother Niu glared at Sister-in-law Niu, Sister-in-law Niu immediately rubbed up, pointed at Brother Niu's nose and began to scold, "What noodles to cook!" If you don't know anyone, you dare to bring someone into your home! I still want my mother to cook noodles, your dream is very good! ”

"Brother Niu, sister-in-law Niu, don't bother, I still have to hurry, so I won't eat."

Xia Xiaoxiao really wanted to eat a bowl of noodles before leaving, but when she saw Sister-in-law Niu's appearance of disliking outsiders, she didn't want to make people embarrassed, and she didn't know how long she had been lying here, and now it was not dawn, as long as Beigong Yu didn't return to the palace for a day, she couldn't feel at ease for a moment, and now she didn't dare to waste a little time.

"Hurry? It's the middle of the night now, what are you still rushing to, little brother? Don't listen to this old woman, rest here for the night and then leave, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow morning when the sky is dawning. ”

Brother Niu looked out at the sky, and it was indeed dark.

There is only a faint light in the room, and there are not candles on the table, and there are still no candles in this kind of farmhouse, and all the kerosene lamps are lit to save money, but Xia Xiaoxiao has been used to the bright light of the candle, and she basically feels that there is no light when such a kerosene lamp is lit, and she looks for shoes on the ground for a long time before putting them on herself, and says a little tiredly, "No need, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, Brother Niu, how far is it from Baicha Town?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao put on her shoes and looked out the window, it turned out that this was an exit from the forest where she came out just now, surrounded by some deserted land, this time should not have reached the point where the farmer slept, but there was no light nearby, there should be only Brother Niu's family living here in this place, and I don't know if it was because of the strong wind outside or what, there were some sounds from the woods not far away.

"It's not far, it's almost right to walk over a forest, it's only a few hours, you haven't eaten for a few days, now it's better to eat here and then walk, and you have more strength on the road."

Brother Niu glanced at Sister-in-law Niu vigorously, and Sister-in-law Niu looked like she didn't see it, "You don't know what to do?" When I came back just now, I was interrogated by those officials, and the old lady was very annoyed now, don't bother the old lady! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao just took two steps out, sighed in his heart, and turned his head to stare at Sister-in-law Niu, "Official!?" ”

"Oh, there have been robbers in this area recently, and it's not a matter of a day or two for the officials to come and search, and when they catch someone, they will start to investigate, you better rest for another night and leave, if you run into those officials again at such a late hour, you may be regarded as a robber."

Brother Niu explained casually and scolded Sister-in-law Niu, this time Sister-in-law Niu didn't dare to say anything anymore, she glared at Xia Xiaoxiao angrily and walked to the kitchen, it seemed that she was really going to cook noodles for Xia Xiaoxiao, but Xia Xiaoxiao didn't mean to stay any longer, so she hurriedly stopped Sister-in-law Niu and walked out with her baggage, "Brother Niu Sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness, but I really have something urgent, so I won't delay the two." ”

There was a firewood knife picked up by Xia Xiaoxiao on the table, just in case, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care about the eyes of the two of them and walked out, Brother Niu wanted to catch up and say a few words but was stopped by Sister-in-law Niu, "What are you chasing, everyone has said that there is something urgent to go, why are you so unenlightened!" ”

"You know!"

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back, Brother Niu was arguing with Sister-in-law Niu, and Xia Xiaoxiao's steps were faster.

The sky is about three watches, these days day and night non-stop rushing also makes Xia Xiaoxiao familiar with this kind of sky, only need to get used to it to be able to basically see the route clearly, only to be able to see clearly in the house, now as soon as I come out, I can see that the outside of the house is surrounded by jungle, there is a path that has been stepped out, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the direction pointed out to her by Brother Niu, raised her feet and walked over.

"Xiao Xia'er, where do you want to run?"

A deep voice, suddenly, came from the dark jungle in front of him, and Xia Xiaoxiao's feet that had just been raised stiffened in mid-air in an instant.

But in an instant, Xia Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and turned around and ran in the direction of the back, but it was only two steps, and Wuxi's figure blocked the retreat behind her at some point. Beside him, Sister-in-law Niu glanced over here, still scolding Brother Niu.

Xia Xiaoxiao heard the sound of approaching horses' hooves behind her, she gathered her baggage, and slowly turned around, in the jungle, Beigong Yu rode his black horse out of the darkness, followed by his dozen or so guards, even if she was in the dark, Xia Xiaoxiao could still feel his cold gaze stabbing her.

"Hehe, this official, I helped you hold it back, so ...... reward"

Brother Niu glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, and wanted to come forward, but Wuxi took a step forward and stopped him behind Xia Xiaoxiao, he was not angry, Fang Xiaoxiao's honest and honest appearance immediately disappeared, a pair of eyes stared straight at Beigong Yu, he saw at a glance that the person in front of him was a rich official, and his tone became flattering.

"Reward him."

Beigong Yu's chin was raised, Wuxi stared at Brother Niu, then took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, Xia Xiaoxiao turned around, Brother Niu looked at the silver ticket in his hand with his eyes and couldn't take his eyes off, people like them who have lived in these poor and remote areas for so many years have a year's income of only a dozen taels or five hundred taels of silver tickets! They've never seen anything in their lives!

Before Sister-in-law Niu met, this person suddenly gave them so much money, and he was stupid for a while, and he was busy pulling Brother Niu and asked in a low voice, "Did you do something unreasonable?" How can these people give you so much money! ”

"You're going to do something that hurts the heavens and the truth! I'm helping to catch the criminal, this is the official's reward! ”
