From the capital to Yandang Mountain, if you take a carriage at least a month, but Ji Erlan and his party strive to arrive as quickly as possible, light car on the road, after passing Jing County, they abandoned the carriage, all on horseback. Except for the twilight spring, who are not very skilled in equestrianism, everyone else is well-trained.

The horses of Yang Wei and Ji Erlan are rare horses, and they gallop ahead.

There is no horse-drawn carriage to drag down, everyone does not have to walk on the official road all the time, and occasionally shuttles through the woods and streams, and the scenery is also beautiful. Birds chirp from time to time on the green hills that stretch on the side, and sometimes pass by the villages or scattered farmers sitting at the foot of the mountain, watching the curling smoke rise, swirling into the air, merging into the clouds, and there is a unique artistic conception of 'flowing water'.

Yang Zhen gently reined in the sea of flowers on a high ground, let him slow down, stopped in the long wind, and carefully looked at the quiet and peaceful village under the mountain, waiting for the guards and others behind to follow.

The flowing clouds spread for thousands of miles in the top of the head, and the sunlight is bright and extinguished. Ji Erlan was beside him, also quietly looking ahead, the scattered blood spots on his body mixed with the surrounding purple and red colors, annihilating the killing aura brought by the slaughter. "If the prince has a heart, he may not be able to live such a life. It's just up to you to see if you can put it down. ”

Yang Zhen looked at her sideways and muttered: "The sunrise and sunset seem simple, but it is not easy. The imperial court increased taxes year after year, and the people were overwhelmed. But the emperor was still not satisfied, and vigorously repaired the palace and left the palace, built Penglai Immortal Pavilion, built a new princess's mansion, and built a mausoleum...... Although the amount of silver that is handed over to the state treasury in various places every year is increasing year by year, where does the money come from? They are full of brains and fat, but they are only goods that can not be entered. Didn't you get it by oppressing the people in a different way? ”

"Therefore, the prince has the people in his heart, and he can't let go." Ji Erlan looked back at him and smiled, as if she knew what was going on in his heart early on.

Yang Zhen looked at her face and suddenly chuckled, his eyes were like water waves, and there seemed to be a thousand things waiting to be told. Ji Erlan's heart seemed to be slammed, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, and his cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

In the sky, there was a sudden scream, and both of them looked up, only to see the goshawk spreading its wings and soaring in the sky. Yang Zhen was slightly surprised, watching it fly across the white clouds and waves, looking proud of the world, and said suspiciously: "This kind of place with people should not have its figure." ”

Ji Erlan's eyes widened, looking at the eagle, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to the moon and the others who were catching up behind him. Everyone's eyes were sharp-eyed, and they immediately reined in their horses and hid their bodies in the woods. "Lord Wang, let's slowly retreat."

When Yang Zheng saw her movements, he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't ask, and slowly retreated into the forest with her.

The crowd stood at the edge of the woods and watched as the eagle circled for a while before disappearing. Yuexi looked at Ji Erlan in surprise and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Erlan frowned and didn't speak, but Yang Zhen had already guessed the reason and said, "It's someone who raises it." ”

Wansheng Daoist looked at Ji Erlan and said, "The little girl is not very old, but she has a lot of knowledge!" ”

"The real goshawk is more wild and less visible to people. The one just now, with a converged posture, was obviously trained, and it was hovering nearby, it should be looking for something. Ji Erlan was a little puzzled, but she couldn't grasp the clue.

"Maybe you're just looking for something to eat......

The heartless sentence of the moon breath ushered in everyone's big eyes. Yang Zhen said: "There are many mountains in Da'an, there are not many steep peaks, there are few such fierce birds, and I have never heard of anyone raising this thing. ”

Yuechen was in charge of the news guard in the Xingwei camp and knew a lot about this matter, so he said at this time: "Gu's subordinates know that Yasukuni and Baimeng have domesticated goshawks to find out the news for them. ”

Ji Erlan lowered his eyebrows and groaned for a long time, and said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, it's better for us to hide." ”

Yuechen took out a small bamboo tube at this time and handed it to Ji Erlan, and said, "Miss Ji, I just received a secret letter from below, which is for you." ”

Ji Erlan took the thin bamboo tube, took out the secret letter, opened it and looked at it, and laughed sneeringly, his eyes full of disdain: "This kind of inferior method, is it playing with me as a child?" She handed it to Yang Shu without care, but Yang Shu didn't see it as easy as her: "If the emperor really made a will, how can you hide from it?" ”

Ji Erlan said: "I have escaped from the Ji family, who is he going to give the order to at this time?" It must be waiting for me to go back. At that time, will I be at the mercy of his eyes? Don't worry, I already had a plan. As for Song Yuheng, I will let her always calculate my consequences. ”

Yang Wei saw that she was not affected by it at all, and knew that she was really sure, so he put his mind at ease. said: "Without further ado, let's rush to Yandang Mountain this morning." ”

For five days in a row, everyone traveled all the way, not daring to stop for a moment, and did not even stop at the post station, so that the local officials everywhere who were fanfare to welcome the king of the ferry and curry favor with him were all in vain. But this is already the limit, Yang Ji Erlan is fine, and the others are even miserable with the horses, and they must stop and rest.

It was getting late, but the officials waiting for the reception of the king were not tired, but they only felt that they had hit the luck, and they were personally entertained before and after, smiling like a blooming trumpet flower, for fear that there would be something inconsiderate. Although Yang Zheng is cold, he is not harsh on people, so most officials are still willing to stick his cold ass with their hot faces.

He was surrounded by people, his complexion did not change, he couldn't see the slightest tiredness, he still looked light and light, and everyone couldn't help but admire his determination.

After arranging the people who took turns to keep vigil, Ji Erlan ordered everyone to go to rest and recuperate, and at this time, no one could take care of anyone, and even the Wansheng Dao people couldn't help complaining that their old bones were about to fall apart, and they shouted that they had suffered a great crime. She moved her stiff legs into the room, and saw Moonbreath and Twilight smearing each other with medicine.

Twilight hurriedly got up to serve her, but she held her down: "I'm fine, much better than you, it's an extraordinary time, take care of yourself." After taking the medicine, eat something, hurry up and rest. We'll stay here for three hours at most. ”

Twilight snorted reluctantly, and Yue Xi grinned and said, "I don't know which pain in my body at this time, and I want to ...... a handful of scattered bones."

Ji Erlan also felt that the side of his leg was hot, and no matter how good his riding skills were, it was difficult to avoid this injury. She smeared medicine on her own wide clothes, and it was cool and cool, and it was really much better. She lay on the couch and pondered about the eagle a few days ago, and she always felt that something out of her control was about to happen.

But they can't think about it anymore, and in three hours, they will set off again, and they must hurry up and rest. She forced herself to close her eyes, but the more sleepy and tired she became, the more difficult it became to sleep, and in a trance she had nightmares, and in less than an hour, she could no longer sleep, so she simply lifted the quilt and got up and walked out of the door.

saw Yang Zhen standing in front of the railing in moonlight, looking at the night sky. He heard movement and looked back. Ji Erlan was slightly surprised: "These days of eating and sleeping in the open, why don't you rest for a while, and you have to go on the road again in the early morning." ”

"Can't sleep." Yang Zhen raised a smile on his lips and said, "You can't sleep either?" ”

"Well, my sleep was full of bloody killings, so I just got up." She instructed the guards on duty at night, "Go and rest." ”

"Yes."

Along the way, whether it is a guard or a secret guard, they have become accustomed to Ji Erlan giving orders to them, and they have become more and more convinced of her. From the hesitation at the beginning, to the later solicitation of Yang Zheng's meaning, and now to directly obey the order, everyone acquiesced, naturally, no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Yang Zhen looked at Ji Erlan under the moonlight, like a hosta flower blooming proudly on the branches, quiet and quiet. Such a woman who looks weak can be by his side all the way, and she doesn't even lose half a point to him. He thought so in his heart, but what he said had nothing to do with it, as if he was deliberately hiding his emotions. "We have no choice but to show our whereabouts, tomorrow or tonight, we will be attacked again."

Ji Erlan said: "This is also unavoidable. Unless it's just you and me, it's possible to keep your tracks hidden. ”

At this time, in the easternmost wing room on the second floor of the inn, a man and a woman sat in a suit, and the woman said, "Big brother, since we met here, why don't you let me meet the girl." ”

The man said: "These are extraordinary times, we are being targeted!" At this time, it is not advisable to move without permission, in case someone finds out, it will not only harm ourselves, but also affect the prince and Miss Ji. He patted the other party's shoulder and said, "If there is fate, we will definitely see you again, so why rush at this time." ”

The two of them were Su Yu Sugu, who had already left Beijing, and as soon as they left the capital, someone secretly followed them. Fortunately, the two of them are proficient in the art of disguise, pretending to be husband and wife, father and daughter, grandchildren and grandchildren along the way, and they went around and around to avoid the crisis, but they didn't expect to meet Ji Erlan and them here.

Su Gu nodded helplessly, looked at the sky that was gradually brightening outside, and said, "When are we leaving?" ”

"After the prince and them set off, while everyone's attention is diverted, let's leave here."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a loud voice outside. Su Yu hurriedly got up and pushed open a thin slit in the window to look outside, and was suddenly shocked! "Oh no, someone set it on fire!"

Su Gu leaned forward and said, "How could it be on fire?" Is it against us or at the prince? ”

Su Yu said while carrying the burden on his back: "The people who followed us along the way obviously didn't want our lives, they wanted to capture us alive. This group of people should be going for the prince and them. ”

Su Gu hurriedly said: "Big brother, we can't just leave!" In case the girl is in any danger, we can help her! ”

Su Yu's face was serious, and he said without question: "No, let's go!" ”
