Pingbai was taken advantage of by Wei Lingjue verbally, but Li Xiao couldn't question him, so he could only sulk alone.

So, when he went on the road again, the person who "closed his eyes and recuperated" along the way became Li Xiao.

This day's journey seems to be much slower than yesterday's, and Li Xiao is a little puzzled.

When she first felt it, she thought it was because of her mood, but after she looked at it carefully, she found that the speed of travel was indeed much slower.

"Why are you walking so slowly?"

Li Xiao asked, for the time being, he couldn't care that he was still angry!

"Isn't it good to slow down? You can enjoy the scenery on the side of the road! The curtain of the car beside Wei Lingjue was lifted by him, revealing a scene.

Wei Ling's movements are chic and comfortable, and he seems to be enjoying it!

But Li Xiao could see that his purpose was definitely not like this.

After doing this for a day, they met Wei Lingjun again when they stayed at the post station at night.

He was still dressed as he was yesterday, with a hat covering his entire face.

One more day.

This time, the carriage was no longer as slow as it had been yesterday, but was galloping all the way.

The carriage was a little uncomfortable with the bumps, but looking at Wei Lingjue, I saw that he was still looking peaceful, sitting there steadily, looking at the book in his hand.

Li Xiao wanted to ask him: Why don't you see the scenery today? But she couldn't help but ask.

With such a slow day and a fast day, Wei Lingjue definitely has a purpose.

As for the specific purpose, Li Xiaoyi guessed that it might be because of Wei Lingjun.

When he stayed overnight in the evening, Li Xiao's guess had an answer.

Because they met again, Wei Lingjun.

Just like the previous two days!

Is Wei Ling definitely waiting for him? It's not like it! So, not waiting, just hiding?

"Are you brothers at odds?" Li Xiao finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Listening to her words, Wei Lingjue, who was sitting opposite him eating, couldn't help but pause his hand.

"Nope!"

"Then why...?"

"I don't like to be followed!"

Wei Lingjue's answer was perfunctory.

But the more perfunctory he is, the more it shows that there is a problem between them.

If their brothers are really not harmonious, such a big rift, can Li Xiaozheng take advantage of it?

Another day passed, and this time their speed was back to the beginning.

After a few days, Li Xiao also understood a little.

Wei Lingjun may have appeared in front of them on purpose.

Although, I didn't meet him again along the way. But when it was time to rest in the evening, he could always stay with them. No matter how fast or slow they are along the way.

What was his purpose in following all the way?

This couldn't help but deepen Li Xiao's strong interest.

On the evening of the third day, when they stayed at the hotel, it seemed that they had made an appointment, and Wei Lingjun appeared at the inn where they were staying as promised.

Walking all the way, but like a stranger. These two brothers are really incomprehensible.

This night, Li Xiao went to bed early. As usual in the previous two days, she slept on the bed, and Wei Ling never slept on the couch.

It's just that in today's inn, there is no couch in the room. So, Wei Lingjue had no choice but to sleep on the ground.

The distance between the two has been shortened a lot.

The candlelight was shining, and Wei Lingjue suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious, my relationship with Wei Lingjun?" ”

Li Xiao was slightly stunned, and only after a long time did she say a soft "um". At the same time, she was also thinking, the purpose of his question?

The night sky was pitch black, as if the sky was covered by a black curtain, and the moonlight, starlight, and even more completely disappeared.

Suddenly, in the far north, a few bright lights rose at some point, breaking the darkness of the night.

The light gradually changed from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a copper plate, and finally revealed its true color.

It's a torch.

With it, there was a rush of footsteps, heavy and chaotic, as if someone was running.

As expected, two staggering figures staggered over, supporting them, looking behind them as they ran.

As the torches approached, the whole inn was in an uproar.

When the hustle and bustle first started, it was when Wei Lingjue and Li Xiao mentioned his relationship with Wei Lingjun.

Wei Ling could only hear Li Xiao hum softly, and just as he was about to speak again, there was a sharp knock on the door outside.

"Who?" Wei Lingjue sat up abruptly and asked.

"Shizi, it's me!" It was Yin Zhan, and along with Yin Zhan's voice, there was a disturbed noise.

Wei Lingjue got up and asked again, "What's going on outside?" ”

"There's a bunch of soldiers who say they're chasing deserters!"

Deserter?

Wei Ling unconsciously looked at Li Xiao, and Li Xiao's gaze also fell on Wei Lingjue's body.

Through the faint night, they tacitly understood what they wanted to say to each other.

Catching deserters is no small matter!

"I'll take a look!"

When Wei Lingjue spoke, he had already walked quickly to the door.

The moment the door was opened, the noise and firelight in the courtyard suddenly rose, making the small courtyard of the inn seem to be daylight.

Yin Zhan told Wei Lingjue what he knew.

It turned out that in the nearby barracks, two soldiers suddenly fled yesterday. Their people, all the way to follow here.

The two escaped soldiers were chased and cornered, so they plundered the guests who were staying at the inn below.

"Don't come here, come here again..., I'll kill him!"

Through the door. The sound outside came intermittently, allowing Li Xiao to roughly understand the cause of the matter.

The door was pushed open again, and it was Yunxia who came, followed by Dong Lian.

"What's going on out there?"

Li Xiao couldn't wait to ask.

"There is a deserter who has taken the guest in the lower room hostage, and is about to coerce the pursuer to retreat and give him a way back!" Dong Lian returned truthfully.

are all deserters, and they still want a way back? Li Xiao thought silently in his heart, and asked again: "Who is the soldier in the battalion?" ”

"It's under General Han's camp!"

"Which General Han?"

"Han Yue, the second son of General Han Zhong!" Dong Lian returned.

"This is his station?"

"Yes!"

Li Xiao didn't feel a slight frown. This place is not close or far from the capital, but it is located in a fortress and is the only way to enter Beijing.

It turned out that the snobbery of the Han family had reached this point at this time.

Li Xiao walked to the window, pushed open the window, and saw the tense scene not far away.

The deserter held a man hostage and pulled him back as he spoke about the conditions. It's just that his back is at the root of the wall.

"As I said, our brothers did not embezzle military salaries, and we did not buy those things, why are they blaming everything on us now."

He was on the verge of a breakdown, shouting hoarsely.
