348. Take your son and remarry
Seeing that the carriage gradually ran up, and finally became a small black dot, Xi Zixiao reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Childe, everything is in order." Xingyun had carried something wrapped in black cloth behind his back just now, and he took it off and uncovered the black cloth, which turned out to be a very realistic dummy.
The dummy was wearing Hua Jiu's clothes, and his hair was also in a bun, and through the clothes, he could see that it was all straw.
Xi Zixiao's eyes fell on the dress, he looked at it for a while, then picked up the dummy and turned over on the horse, his movements were so careful that he held it steadily, and when he looked at it, he couldn't see that he was holding a real person at all.
"Let's go!" Xi Zixiao took one last look at the gate of the capital, took the lead in whipping the horse, and left from another road, choosing a direction that was completely different from Hua Jiu's road.
Xi Zixiao and Xingyun Liushui walked within two quarters of an hour, and immediately rushed out of the capital with a team of guards wearing big swords, bows and crossbows and chain mail, among which King Min in stone blue clothes rode first, followed by Sun Congbei.
King Min stopped his horse at the gate of the city, and he looked at the roads out of the city with deep eyes, and pursed his lips silently.
One person stepped forward from the guards, the man dismounted, lay on the ground and looked at the seal carefully, and after a few breaths, he replied to King Min, "Back to the prince, there are three horses' hoof prints galloping on the left hand side, and all the road on the right hand side are wheel prints." ”
"Xi Zixiao is riding a horse, he must be on the left hand side." Sun Congee said hatefully, if it weren't for King Min, he would have chased after him.
"Not necessarily, Xi Qi is as cunning as a fox, Hua Jiu is the root of his life, if this king is him, the first thing is to ensure that Hua Jiu is safe first." King Min pondered for a moment.
"What could be more reassuring and safe than the two of them together, and he personally protected her?" Sun Congee Bi sneered.
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, he must guess that you think so, so most likely, he is a soldier in two ways." His eyes were sharp, and King Min at this moment was filled with an aura that only those who fought on the battlefield.
"No, Lord Wang, Xi Zixiao can take risks in anything, but if it is about Hua Jiu, he will not risk half a point, so if he wants Hua Jiu to be safe, only the two of them are together, and Hua Jiu is under his nose, he is the most at ease." Sun Congee Bi said the same confidence.
King Min's eyes flashed, he seemed to think of something, the horse whip a little, pointed to a few people, and said, "You guys, chase down that road." ”
Those few people came out of the queue in response, and when they drove and chased down in the direction of Huajiu's carriage, the remaining few people and King Min and Sun Congee Bi took another road.
But said that Hua Jiu sat in the carriage, she didn't move for a long time, she just sat like this and became a sculpture, until her legs were numb, she called in a low voice, "Xi Qi, if you don't come back, I will take your son to remarry......"
It's just that no one heard this, she reached out and touched her lower abdomen, and Xi Zixiao prepared some food in the carriage, which would be cold early, but Hua Jiu still tried to eat some.
After wrapping her abdomen, she picked up a pair of bracelets on the head prepared by Xi Zixiao, two hairpins, and a bead necklace to wear on her body, and the others were wrapped, these ornaments were all hollow, and they were filled with protective incense.
After doing all this, she called out to the star chaser who was rushing outside, "Star chaser, stop." ”
"Woo ......" Chasing Star stopped his horse and said outside the curtain, "What does Madame command?" ”
Hua Jiu got off the carriage, she packed all the things that could be taken away in the carriage, there were not many things, and threw them into the arms of the star chaser and said, "Give the carriage away, let's take the trail." ”
"But madam, Childe said......" The star-chasing baby's face was embarrassed.
"I'm not listening?" Hua Jiu said idly.
In order for Hua Jiu to sit comfortably, this carriage Xi Zixiao set the kind of two horses, but this will Hua Jiu did not hesitate to support the star chaser to untie one of the horses, and the rest of the carriage shed and the other horse, Hua Jiu casually found the down-and-out grandfather and grandson who were on the side of the road and sent the carriage out in vain.
Star Chasing really didn't know what Hua Jiu wanted to do, among the few of their entourage, he had the least contact with Hua Jiu, and he usually only heard Xingyun and Liushui talk about how smart his wife was.
But Ming Ming Gongzi had instructed him to take Hua Jiu back to Zhaozhou and protect her all the way, but he had only walked a few kilometers, and Hua Jiu had changed his mind.
Taking in the expression of chasing the star, Hua Jiu threw the horsewhip to him and said, "Listen to me, let's take the mountain trail and ride a horse is enough." ”
A horse? The star chasers were about to cry, "Madam, if the son knows, he will kill the little ......"
"What nonsense," Hua Jiu glanced at him, "get on the horse, and pull me up." ”
Chasing stars can't, he had to carry the package on his back, turned over on the horse, and pulled Hua Jiu with his sleeve through his hand to get on the horse, Hua Jiu sat behind him, and the two of them rode together with the package.
"Sit tight, ma'am." The star chaser hit the horse, and he didn't dare to run too fast, so he had to let the horse trot from the road into the mountain road.
As soon as the two entered the forest, Chasing Star saw a few people dressed as guards chasing after them, stopping their carriage and asking the grandfather and grandson.
He secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, and sure enough, he listened to his wife.
Hua Jiu naturally saw it, she patted the shoulder of the star chaser, "Let's go, let's go to Huangjue Town and wait for your son-in-law." ”
Chasing the reins and directing the horses to climb the mountain road, he muttered, "Madam, how do you know that you can wait for Childe?" The mountain road we walked is not easy to walk, it is much slower, and the son has already said that the little one will take you back to Zhaozhou first. ”
"Although the mountain road is not easy to walk, there is no detour, the same foot, even if you go back to Zhaozhou, you must pass through Huangjue Town." Speaking of Huangjue Town, Hua Jiu felt that the past was still vivid, she married to Zhaozhou from there, and then had a miscarriage there, and now she wants to go back there.
Huang Juezhen is like a transit link in the trajectory of fate, no matter which path she chooses, she will always pass through it.
The two walked for a long time, but they didn't go far, and when they got to a place that was really difficult to walk, the star chaser simply dismounted, let Hua Jiu sit on the horse, and he led the horse and led the way in front.
This walk, is a whole day, overnight hurry, in the middle of the night, finally the shadow of Huangjue Town is faintly visible, can see the lanterns are not very bright.
Star Chaser whispered to wake up Hua Jiu, who was dozing off on horseback, and asked if he would enter the town now.
Hua Jiuyi woke up, the night was too dark, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her pale eyes were surprisingly bright, "If you don't go in, we'll stay outside for a day or two." ”
She concluded that at this time, there must be an ambush in Huangjue Town, whether it was King Min's people, or those who wanted to fall into the well for her, and Xi Zixiao led King Min away, and he took a detour, I don't know how many circles he went around, so at this time, he definitely hadn't arrived in Huangjue Town.
Fortunately, Xi Zixiao also prepared clothes for her, Hua Jiu took them out, wrapped them in the clean and leeward ground that she was looking for, and prepared to squint, chase the stars and keep vigil, and by the way, look at the movements of Huang Jue Town.
The sky was getting brighter, and there was a mist shrouded in it, which was not very thick, but it was also difficult to see the ground a little farther away.
Xi Zixiao hugged the dummy in his arms, the movements were gentle and meticulous, and even when Xingyun inadvertently turned his head, he would feel like his son-in-law was really holding his wife.
"What time is it?" Xi Zixiao asked suddenly.
"At the end of the day, Childe, it's time for us to hit the road." Xingyun packed up his things, destroyed the obvious traces of the night in the wild, and deliberately left a clue that was not obvious but could be seen.
"Let's go," Xi Zixiao got on the horse with the dummy, he looked ahead, "I can get to Huangjue Town in the afternoon, after that time, King Min has no intention of pursuing again." ”
Then the three of them raised their whips, and with a soft shout, they went far away in the misty morning, and with such a dazzling effort, the three of them disappeared.
Two or three quarters of an hour later, King Min and Sun Congee Bi chased after them, followed by dozens of guards with bows and crossbows.
Sun Congee dismounted, and in the place where Xingyun covered up the traces just now, he patrolled for a while, and finally found some rouge white powder in a corner that only women use, "On the other side of their walk, Hua Jiu is also there, Lord Wang." ”
Sun Congee Bi showed the rouge stained on his fingers to King Min, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Take advantage of the victory and pursue, and fight quickly." King Min ordered that tonight, he must return to the capital, and he came out this time, but he was afraid that after a long time, the eldest prince and the second prince would take the opportunity to make trouble.
Hua Jiu waited outside Huangjue Town for another day and a half, she ate dry food that was not very delicious, and even vomited it immediately after eating, but she continued to eat after vomiting, even if there was a little bit of something left in her stomach, she felt that it was good.
Chasing the star looked at Hua Jiu's appearance, the childish baby face frowned, and he just wanted to knock Hua Jiu unconscious and take him back to Zhaozhou immediately, this eats and vomits and eats, he feels tortured just by looking at it, not to mention that Hua Jiu is still alive.
Finally, at the beginning of the afternoon, Chasing Star saw three people galloping into the town on horseback, and after a few quarters of an hour, another team of people who were obviously chasing followed into the town, and he could see clearly, the front was his own son, and the back was King Min.
He replied to Hua Jiu, Hua Jiu didn't say a word, and immediately said, "Half an hour later, we will enter the town." ”
Chasing the star subconsciously wanted to refute, but his mouth moved a few times, and he still didn't dare to say anything.
"It's okay, half an hour late, as long as you are careful, you can stagger King Min's people." Hua Jiu had thought about it a long time ago, Xi Zixiao said that after this time, King Min would have to rush back to the capital before it got dark, so they just had to survive these few hours.
Half an hour later, no one came out of the town, chasing the stars and leading the horse, Hua Jiu sat on the horse, she wrapped her face in an old cloth, and pretended to cough a few times from time to time, and she looked like a sick seedling.
Chasing stars naturally smeared a little dirty mud on his face, and with his age-intelligible baby face, it can also confuse ordinary people.
The two cautiously entered the town, the town was as normal as ever, chasing stars and looking at the six roads, very cautious.
"Straight out of town." Hua Jiu whispered.
Huangjue Town is not big, a straight street can go to the end, they all entered the town for a while, and they didn't hear of any lively fights, Hua Jiu immediately decided to go through the town first.
However, just turned the corner of the street, at the mouth of an alley where there were few people, the star chasing was passing, and it was stopped-
Loose hair, a complexion shaped like a ghost, white and unpopular, with a broken knife on his back, the person blocking the road is not a ghost with a broken knife!
"The eldest prince is invited." The Broken Knife Ghost didn't look at the chasing star who was reaching out to pull out the dagger, he only raised his head slightly and said to Hua Jiu.
