Chapter 60: The Mysterious Man
Lu Ranzhi rubbed the blood on his hand on his clothes, the horror in his eyes had gradually precipitated, and he was only Yu Qingao, he raised his head slightly, looked at Murong Xun with a little smugness and said, "We're even!" ”
The corners of Murong Xun's mouth twitched, "Thank you!" She walked towards the place where Zhao Zhi was hiding, picked up the grass, and saw Zhao Zhi squatting there like a rabbit with his ears covered and his eyes closed, looking very cute, Murong Xun couldn't help but touch his head.
Zhao Zhi opened his watery eyes, saw that it was Murong Xun, and grinned widely, and at the same time rubbed into Murong Xun's arms and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Murong Xun nodded, and said, "I'm scared!" ”
Zhao Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I know that the imperial aunt will definitely protect me!" ”
Murong Xun frowned and asked, "Why?" He and she have known each other for a short time, why does he trust her so much, why is she so close to him?
Zhao Zhi twisted his eyebrows into Sichuan characters, thought about it seriously, and then stared at Murong Xun's face quietly with pure black eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" ”
After what happened just now, this place could not stay for a long time, so Murong Xun and the three of them left here overnight and continued to walk forward.
The moonlight was hidden in the large ink clouds, and the dim light shot down from the gaps in the leaves, and the stars gradually disappeared in a sparse way, and the wind whined, like the screams of some kind of beast.
"Aunt Huang, I'm afraid!" Zhao Zhi grabbed the corner of Murong Xun's clothes and whispered with wet eyes, his words seemed to be quickly drowned out by the wind.
Murong Xun hugged Zhao Zhi tighter, and said lightly: "Man, what is there to be afraid of!" ”
Zhao Zhi pursed his mouth, trying to straighten his small chest, looking very useless, but as soon as a fierce wind passed, a whistling sound swept in, and he shrank behind Murong Xun.
Lu Ranzhi looked at the dark clouds in the sky, worry flashed in his eyes, he looked at Murong Xun and said, "It looks like it's going to rain!" ”
Murong Xun also nodded, "You have to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly!" ”
As he spoke, there was thunder, lightning flashed, leaving a miserable white light.
"Ahh Zhao Zhi suddenly screamed, squatted down, covered his ears, closed his eyes tightly, trembled, and looked very scared.
Murong Xun was worried that Zhao Zhi's shouts would attract the pursuers, so he also squatted down, and asked in a soft voice as much as possible, "Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Zhi threw himself into Murong Xun's arms, wet tears sprinkled on her neck, and he whimpered and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of thunder!" ”
Seeing Zhao Zhi like this, Murong Xun felt a slight pain in her heart somehow, and she sighed softly, "Why are you afraid of rainy days?" Didn't your mother accompany you? ”
Zhao Zhi's shoulders shook and shook, and he whimpered and said: "I'm just afraid of thunder, when the thunder is accompanied by the nurse, my mother has never come to see me, once I was really scared, that is, I ran to the palace of the mother without telling the nurse, and I was very sad to see the mother crying with a swaddling baby in the Buddhist hall, I was scared stupid and didn't dare to ask!" ”
In an instant, the heavy rain of beans fell in a daze. Whipped up in a fierce wind, it slammed down on people.
Murong Xun took Zhao Zhi's hand, looked into his eyes and said, "It's not a shame to be afraid of thunder, but you are a man, you have to learn to bear and overcome your fears in the future, so that you can grow and become strong!" She stood up, "Let's go!" ”
The rain fell like a bean falling on the ground.
Lu Ranzhi took off his coat and covered Murong Xun and Zhao Zhi's bodies, and when he saw Murong Xun's puzzled gaze, he looked away, and said with a somewhat stiff expression: "I'm a man!" ”
Murong Xun smiled lightly, "I didn't say that you weren't, why emphasize it so clearly!" ”
The three of them walked for a while, and at this moment, the white clothes on Murong Xun and Lu Ranzhi's bodies were also dirty and messy, and they couldn't see their original appearances, and there were mud spots splashing everywhere, but one of them was as cold as the moon, and the other was as arrogant as a lotus, but they didn't look embarrassed at all.
When he arrived at an ancient tree, Murong Xun saw that the branches and leaves of this tree were luxuriant, faintly covering the falling rain, and only a little rain slipped from between the leaves, but compared to the wind and rain outside, this place was already a good shelter from the rain.
After placing Zhao Zhi in place, Murong Xun leaned over to wipe his rain-soaked hair, while Lu Ranzhi picked up a stone from the ground, preparing to cut some branches to cover the leaking place, Murong Xun saw that he was a weak person, and at this moment, he didn't see any results for a long time by smashing a branch with a stone, so he shook his head and sighed with a smile: "It's better for me to come!" ”
Lu Ranzhi turned his head and squinted at Murong Xun, and when he raised his head, he showed his original unruly look, "I don't need your help!" ”
Since people don't appreciate it, Murong Xun doesn't have to stick his hot face to other people's cold buttocks, so he hugs Zhao Zhi and leans against the trunk of the tree and pretends to sleep. But I don't know how much time has passed, but the heavy rain still has not abated, and the sky is so dark that I can only see the ignorant shadows of things within reach.
"Stop!" Murong Xun snorted softly.
Lu Ranzhi stopped and looked at Murong Xun for some reason.
Murong Xun made a silent gesture on her lips, she woke up Zhao Zhi, handed him to Lu Ranzhi, and said with a serious expression: "Wait for me like this, don't leave at will!" Murong Xun stood on top of the branches of a tree, hiding her body among the leaves as much as possible, the rain wipers were pulling, and she could barely open her eyes to look at the scene below.
I saw a soft sedan chair parked not far away, surrounded by a few maids with oil-paper umbrellas, and in front of the soft sedan chair were kneeling a few people in black, who seemed to be pleading guilty with the people in the soft sedan chair.
It's just that it's far away, and the rain is too heavy, so I can't hear what they are saying, and in a trance, I heard the words "Xia Shuang" and "King Qin" so that Murong Xun paid attention to it.
And a moment later, I saw that the curtain of the soft sedan car seemed to be lifted by a strong internal force, and then a few kneeling black-clothed people were knocked to the ground by a gust of palm wind, and they spit blood and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, Murong Xun only felt that his arm was pulled by someone, and he jumped towards another tree trunk, Murong Xun was shocked, he shook his hand and slashed with a knife, and his wrist was held, "It's me!" ”
Murong Xun looked over, only to see that Shangguan Zisang was standing in front of him, and the branch where Murong Xun was standing was cut off at the waist, Murong Xun was a little surprised in his heart at this moment, if Shangguan Zisang didn't pull her just now, her fate at the moment would be like that branch.
"Why are you here? What about Zixuan? Murong Xun asked eagerly.
Shangguan Zisang glanced at her fixedly, a few incomplaint looks flashed in his eyes, he pushed Murong Xun gently, and motioned for her to stay here with his eyes, while he jumped down from the branch and quickly came to the front of the soft sedan chair, still unable to hear what they were saying, but it was certain that Shangguan Zisang and the people in the soft sedan knew each other.
After a while, I saw several maids carrying a soft sedan chair and walking away. Shangguan Zisang came to Murong Xun's side again and said, "Are you okay?" I didn't see you and King Qin come back yesterday, and His Majesty sent a lot of people to look for you on the mountain! ”
Murong Xun shook his head and said, "Do you know about Xia Rang's rebellion?" ”
Shangguan Zisang nodded, and his lips showed a slight sneer, "You can't live if you do your own evil!" He looked at Murong Xun again and sighed: "You find a place to hide, it's very dangerous on the mountain now, I can't take care of you!" ”
Murong Yao shook his head, "I don't need you to take care of me, I will take care of myself, who is in the soft sedan just now?" ”
Shangguan Zisang looked at Murong Xun with a somewhat suspicious look, "Huangfu Shaohua, the second son of the Huangfu family!" ”
Murong Xun nodded, but there was a little doubt in his heart, this Emperor Fu Shaohua had just talked about Xia Shuang and Zhao Ling, and he didn't know what happened to them? Hidden in the uneasiness in his heart, Murong Xun asked again, "What about your brother?" ”
Shangguan Zisang glanced at Murong Xun with slanted eyes and said, "They are all very good, you don't have to worry!" There was a bit of ridicule on his face, "If you have time, you might as well worry about your husband!" ”
Murong Xun's eyes froze, and when he wanted to ask something more, Shangguan Zisang was on tiptoe, and he disappeared again.
Murong Xun was about to jump off the branch, but from a distance, he saw the figure of Lu Ran, who walked in a hurry, looking behind him from time to time, but behind him were two or three pursuers.
The direction they came from was the hiding place of Fang Cai Lu Ran Zhi and Zhao Zhi, Murong Xun felt a pang in his heart, this guy actually left Zhao Zhi alone and escaped, there was anger and worry in his heart, without hesitation, Murong Xun immediately ran towards the cube where Zhao Zhi was hiding.
When he arrived under the big tree, he didn't see Zhao Zhi's figure, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in Murong Xun's heart, didn't something happen?
"Aunt Huang!"
Murong Xun turned around and saw Zhao Zhi's little head coming out of a bush not far away, Murong Xun took three steps and squatted in front of Zhao Zhi in two steps, "How did you run into there?" ”
Zhao Zhi frowned and said, "There are chasing soldiers, beautiful brother will lead away the pursuers by himself, let me hide here and wait for you to come back!" ”
Murong Xun was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be like this, it seemed that he had misunderstood Lu Ranzhi, and he saw a few pursuers behind him, hoping that nothing would happen, thinking of this, Murong Xun touched Zhao Zhi's head and said: "Prince, you have done a good job, continue to hide here, I will go to find my beautiful brother now, wait for me here!" ”
Zhao Zhi nodded, retracted his head again, looking at Zhao Zhi trembling in the rain, Murong Xun's heart swelled with distress, but now she should go and save Lu Ranzhi first, although she has been trained as a killer for several years, but there are clear grievances in her bones, and she is by no means ruthless.
