Yu Zijin only felt that the whole person was groggy, his eyelids were heavy, and in the chaos, he seemed to hear a magnetic call, "Xiao Jane." ”

In the depths of my memory, something was constantly turning, and some scattered fragments flashed vaguely in my mind.

A small pink figure stretched out his fleshy little hand and rubbed the child in front of him who was shrunk together like a ball, "From today on, I will call you Ah Yan." ”

The warm courtyard suddenly twisted and was filled with blood red. On the blackened city wall bombarded by gunpowder, a fiery red shadow stood in the wind, and the tears on his face were like pearls with broken threads.

The fiery red figure slowly fell, like a piece of broken silk, floating down from the city wall, "Ah Yan, wait for me." ”

Yu Zijin woke up suddenly, sat up from the bed, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his eyes were embedded with a few bloodshots, his expression was in a trance, his limbs were sore, and his whole body was weak.

Raising his eyes and looking around, he saw a seemingly unused robe hanging on the wooden wall, and on the wooden table under the robe, there was a row of incense offerings, and there was nothing else, and there was a strange scene as far as the eye could see.

Yu Zijin only remembered that he should have stayed in the teahouse next to the execution table, but for some reason, his brain fainted as soon as he was dizzy, and when he woke up again, he was like this.

Squeak –

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, as if the light in the original room was too dim, and the strong light outside suddenly shone in, and the vision brightened, Yu Zijin couldn't help but reach out to block his eyes and turn his head.

After getting used to it for a while, when I opened my eyes, I saw an old woman with a somewhat rickety body, holding a tray and walking in slowly. raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Zijin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, who was just sober, and quickly looked away, his expression did not change, and he did not say anything. He walked to the side, moved the incense burner on the wooden table, put a dish and a soup on it, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

There was no one at the moment, and he didn't know what his situation was, Yu Zijin frowned, and raised his voice to ask, "Who are you?" Where is this? ”

After saying a word, the old woman did not stop there, but left as if she had not heard of it.

"This is the White City of Kitahara." The wooden door did not close again as expected, but a man's chuckle came from outside.

Bailishu walked into the room and hooked his lips, "Is the county lord resting okay?" ”

Yu Zijin frowned, Beiyuan? White City? How long has he been in a coma, but he has been taken away from the territory of Dongqi. Moreover, Baili Shu is the son of King Qing of Nanyue, why didn't he return to his own country, but came to this northern plain across the east?

Also, he lost consciousness since Yancheng, and Lin Xiao was going to deal with Chen Ping's affairs at that time, if he found that he was missing after coming back, he would be very worried. It's just that he probably doesn't know that he is now in the northern plains.

Raising his eyes and glaring at Bai Lishu, who was standing leisurely, he said in his heart, I have no grievances with him, not to mention his strange behavior when he was in Yancheng, what is the intention of this time?

"Don't look at me like that, and don't forget where you are now." Bai Lishu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he put away his usual face that was quite good at talking, and his voice gradually lowered.

"What the hell do you want to do!" Yu Zijin was slightly shocked when he saw this, but he still showed a fearless appearance, and said loudly.

"What do I want to do? You'll find out soon. As if it was an illusion, Bai Lishu smiled again, "Just rest well tonight." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yu Zijin to react, he turned around, and with a wave of his sleeves, the wooden door closed in response, making a dull sound.

Tonight? I don't know how long it has been, and now that I wake up, Bailishu's purpose is not very clear...... But he's afraid he's already doing it. Looking at the robes and incense burners on the wall, Yu Zijin struggled to get up.

Take off the robe hanging on the wall, fold it slightly, tuck it into the quilt, and adjust it slightly to look like someone on the bed. Then he poured out the ashes from the incense burner, sprinkled them on the plain white skirt, and then wiped his face with his hands stained with the ashes, and quietly hid behind the door.

When night fell, it seemed that the heavens were deliberately favoritic, and the clouds were compact and empty, obscuring the brilliance of the moonlight. Yu Zijin hid behind the door, hiding in the dark.

Squeak –

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a rickety figure staggered over, still holding a tray, towards the wooden table, and did not find Yu Zijin who sneaked out from behind the door and slipped away quietly. Glancing at the person who seemed to be asleep on the bed, he silently turned away and gently closed the door.

Yu Zijin poked his head out from behind the pillars outside the house and looked around, the night was dim, and he could only tell that he seemed to be in an ordinary single-stand house, and he could leave the courtyard by walking along the path.

The cold wind was blowing, although it was just autumn, but Baicheng was already a little frozen at this time, and there were faint precursors of falling snow, Yu Zijin tightened his clothes and tiptoed out.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, gradually approaching, Yu Zijin's heart tightened, afraid that he would be found out of his escape, a little overwhelmed, looked at the rough old tree not far away, ran without thinking, hid behind the trunk, and watched the changes.

"I'm going to hand her over to the sixth prince tomorrow, and nothing will go wrong tonight." Bailishu hurried to the hut, and when he reached the old tree, he stared at it slightly, and walked slowly towards it.

Yu Zijin held his breath, his heart hung high, his face was slightly panicked, but he tried hard to suppress it. When Bailishu was about to walk in front of the old tree, his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, and his right foot unconsciously stepped backwards and fell into an embrace.

Bang –

There was a sound of ceramics cracking in the room, and Bailishu frowned, stopped in an instant, and turned around and swept towards the house.

Yu Zijin suddenly felt a tightness around his waist, and the whole person rose into the air, and the scene in front of him changed rapidly, but after a while, he fell on an empty flat ground.

After standing firm, the hand on his waist was withdrawn, and Yu Zijin turned around and saw the face of the person who came. The long dark brown hair is slightly curly, half of the hair is pulled back to the head, tied up with a dark hairband with intricate ornamentation, and a long chain inlaid with red jade is across the forehead, and the facial features are deep and exotic.

"Who are you?" Yu Zijin looked vigilant.

"My name is Yuan Qi, what about you?" Yuan Qi put his hands behind his back, his upper body moved forward slightly, and he looked at Yu Zijin at eye level, looking happy.

Yu Zijin was stunned for a moment, staring at the young man in front of him who tilted his head and smiled at himself...... I heard that Baicheng was close to the border of the Northern Plains, and this was a wilderness, and he was a rich man with extraordinary appearance and clothes, and he would wander here to save himself.

Was his appearance accidental? Yu Zijin still couldn't let down his vigilance in his heart, and did not answer Yuan Qi's question positively.

And Yuan Qi didn't feel embarrassed, knowing that Yu Zijin didn't want to reveal his name and didn't force it, he said to himself, "It's still some distance from Baicheng here, and it should be snowing in this weather." Looking at Yu Zijin, who was thinly dressed and gray-faced, he couldn't help laughing loudly, "If you don't leave, you'll be frozen to death here, let's go!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yu Zijin to react, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, and swept towards the side.

"Hey, slow down!" Yu Zijin was dragged like this, his center of gravity was a little unstable, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"I said that my name is Yuan Qi, not Hey. Of course, you can also call me Brother Yuan. Yuan Qi then walked around to the other side, stretched out his other hand to wrap around Yu Zijin's waist, stabilized her figure, and grinned toothily, as if he was gloating.

According to Yu Zijin's original temperament, he must go back again, but now that he is in another country, the person in front of him still doesn't know what his identity is, and what his intention is to come to the rescue, it is better to be careful, and it is not appropriate to contact too much.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two stopped in a simple courtyard, where two maroon horses were tied to the stone pier, and an unfinished bow and arrow was placed on the stone table beside it, and the candlelight in the room was full of shadows.

As if hearing someone coming, the owner opened the door slightly, and the moment he saw Yuan Qi, he immediately opened the door and stepped out, and said loudly, "It turned out to be Brother Yuan, I was talking to your sister-in-law about you, and you came." Quick, it's cold outside, sit inside. ”

Then when he saw Yu Zijin, who had been silent and embarrassed beside Yuan Qi, he couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?" ”

"Disturbing at night, I hope that Brother Xu will not blame the younger brother, this is my sister......" Yuan Qi immediately squeezed his eyebrows at Yu Zijin, and blatantly "hinted".

"Leisurely." Yu Zijin frowned, but finally compromised. This Yuan Qi, he and he have only known him for half an hour, and it is a set of things to take advantage of, Yu Zijin said in his heart.

"It turned out to be Yuan Qi's little sister, they are all a family. Why are you wearing so little, come in and sit, it's warm in the house. Xu Shen patted Yuan Qi's shoulder familiarly, and invited the two of them in.

"Let's go, it's curfew in the city at this time, and we can't get in. This is Brother Xu, let's borrow a night at their house tonight, and talk about it tomorrow when we have a rest. Yuan Qi leaned over and explained to Yu Zijin, and took the lead in walking towards the house.

Yuan Qi seemed to know what Yu Zijin was worried about, and he neither asked her true identity nor inquired into why she was imprisoned in that remote courtyard.

Yu Zijin lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, stepped up to follow, and after Yuan got up, he said softly: "Thank you." ”

Yuan Qi didn't seem to hear it, his face was as usual, and he continued to walk forward.

The snow was about to burst outside, and the cold wind was blowing, like a long whip cutting at the face, completely freezing the bones. But when I entered the house, it was a different scene, the hall was not large, there were several bows and arrows hanging on the wall, and in the middle of the room was a large steaming stove, surrounded by four small stools, and in front of it there was a table with some scattered utensils.
