Farewell, Murong Shuo
Shangguan Jing looked at his father with blank eyes, and pulled his arm tightly, as if he would disappear in the next second, extremely nervous.
In the end, it was Murong Shuo who pulled Shangguan Chengru to sit down, and the four of them sat around the bonfire, while Ling Feng mustered up his spirit to investigate the surroundings.
Murong Shuo, like Shangguan Jing, sat next to Shangguan Chengru.
"Dad, how did you get over these two days? Haven't you all arrived in Jinzhou City, why don't you go in? ”
Shangguan Chengru did not answer, Yun Zhannan said: "Now the city gate in Jinzhou City is heavily guarded, and there are wanted notices everywhere. It is simply impossible to leave the surveillance range of the imperial court from the city of Jinzhou. ”
"Lord Yun, thank you for your rescue. As soon as tonight is over, you can go back to Dali Temple. After all, following me all the time will drag you down. Shangguan Cheng said.
"Your Majesty asked me to escort you to the country safely, how can I leave you and run for my life!"
"Your Majesty asked your lord to send my father out?" Shangguan Jing asked in surprise.
At first, she thought that Murong Chen was going to put their Shangguan family to death, but now it seems that this matter is definitely not that simple.
Shangguan Jing said again: "It's so difficult that Murong Chen didn't order the seizure of our Shangguan family?" ”
For this reason, Yun Zhannan didn't know how to answer for a while.
Because the holy decree was indeed promulgated by Murong Chen, it was clearly written in black and white, and there was also the red seal of the jade seal, which must not be relied upon.
But Yun Zhannan knew in his heart that the mastermind behind the scenes was the queen mother nine times out of ten, even if she didn't directly use the power in her hands, it was difficult to guarantee that it had nothing to do with her.
But how should he explain to Shangguan Jing now? Tell her the truth? I'm afraid it will only provoke her anger.
"Lord Yun, you're talking!" Shangguan Jing has always been anxious, and when he saw Yun Zhannan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he didn't mention how twisted his heart was.
Since Yun Zhannan didn't explain it clearly, Shangguan Jing at this moment thought that Murong Chen was the culprit of everything.
If he hadn't made that decree, so many things wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have made her home unable to go back to this point.
Now he actually pretended to let Yun Zhannan send her father out of the country, which was an ulterior motive in Shangguan Jing's eyes.
If he really wanted to let his father go, why did he increase the guards at the city gates, and post the wanted notices of their father and daughter everywhere.
Shangguan Jing couldn't help but look at Yun Zhannan, she was thinking: I didn't expect Murong Chen to be such a scheming person, he must have wanted to deliberately let him go in the name of his father's criminal minister, and on the other hand, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. After all, it was a great sense of accomplishment to be able to kill two important ministers of the court at the same time.
She began to worry about Yun Zhannan, yes, she was thinking, maybe there would be chasing soldiers coming towards them soon, and Murong Shuo would not be able to follow her, so he would definitely be implicated in the Jingyang Palace.
She already owes Murong Shuo too much, and she can't implicate him anymore because of herself.
Murong Shuo saw that Shangguan Jing's eyes were wrong when he looked at him, and he immediately knew what she was thinking.
"Shangguan Jing, I warn you, don't want to run away from me alone!"
Shangguan Jing knew that he had seen through it again, closed his eyes and lowered his head, and only spoke again after a long time: "You really can't follow me anymore." ”
Somehow, Murong Shuo actually set off a wave in his heart, and there was a faint heart-piercing pain.
He didn't answer, but remained silent.
Suddenly, Shangguan Chengru spoke.
"Master Yun, Murong Shizi, Ah Jing is right, this is originally our Shangguan family's business, you shouldn't have been involved, you have done enough for us, and I want to go down with Ah Jing for the rest of the way."
Yun Zhannan wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Shangguan Jing again.
Now it seems that the father and daughter have the same opinion - neither wants to drag others down.
Murong Shuo remained silent, and at this time, Ling Feng came back and told Murong Shuo what he had seen and what he had expected.
"Your Highness, this place is only the road in front of us that can lead to Jinzhou City, and it is easy to be ambushed by grass and trees all around, so we must not take it lightly. I ran a farther road to survey the terrain below, and the southeast direction was a desperate road, as long as there was a cliff, and it was very steep. Moreover, the terrain is very flat all around, which is very difficult for escape. ”
For Ling Feng's explanation, Murong Shuo was even more worried.
There is only one road, and there is grass and trees all around, as long as someone is ambushed here, it is difficult for them to notice, and then it will be like catching a turtle in an urn, and it is impossible to escape with wings.
Such terrain is a headache.
Shangguan Jing sat on the side and listened carefully, silently remembering these details. Thinking about how to get rid of Murong Shuo and them. After all, it's for their own good.
Shangguan Jing looked at Murong Shuo, who was closing his eyes tightly at the moment, and smiled lightly, almost no one noticed. A sentence suddenly popped up in her heart: "Farewell, Murong Shuo ......"
Early the next morning, Murong Shuo was the first to wake up, only to find that Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Chengru were gone.
He shouted, looking for the two of them nearby, but there was not even a shadow.
Murong Shuo's movements were very large, and the first one to be awakened was Ling Feng.
He had been keeping vigil last night, until he couldn't stay up anymore and leaned against the tree for a while. I didn't expect to fall asleep more and more.
Now that Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Chengru have disappeared, he will definitely be to blame.
"Your Highness, don't worry, it must be that Gongzi Jing didn't want to drag us down, so he secretly left with General Murong, since the two of them left together, then they must be safe."
"That's right." Murong Shuo gradually regained his senses.
Murong Shuo walked up to Yun Zhannan and advised:
"Lord Yun, since Shangguan Jing and Uncle Shangguan have already said goodbye, I guess they must not want us to find them at this moment. Lord Yun has worked hard enough, and he needs to return to Dali Temple to preside over the overall situation soon. ”
Yun Zhannan originally thought that he could personally send Guan Chengru out of the country, but he didn't expect that in the end, he fell short.
He wanted to say more, but seeing Murong Shuo's determined eyes, he instantly felt that he could only do this at this moment.
"His Royal Highness the Prince should also be more careful, if you want to come to Dali Temple, there must be something to deal with, then I won't stay longer, farewell!"
"Thank you, Lord Yun, for the rescue."
Yun Zhannan nodded at him, took the horse he was riding and galloped away.
It's not that he is not righteous, but because he really has a premonition that something is going to happen in Dali Temple.
"Ling Feng, bring the horse over, and we can set off to chase in the opposite direction."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ling Feng's movements were fast, and Murong Shuo took the reins and whipped after him. He did not enter the city, but rode into the woods.
