CHAPTER XXIV
On this day, Xiao Xiyue came to visit Mo Yuchen as usual, and Yun Li reported something outside the door.
"Come in and talk, Yunli." Mo Yuchen sat up half-legged and leaned on the edge of the bed.
"Childe, the war of the Great Prime Minister."
"Report it." As soon as Xiao Xiyue heard about the war in the Great Xiangguo, she immediately stared at Yunli nervously.
"General Daxiangguo Xiaoyong entered the enemy city and lost contact."
When Xiao Xiyue heard this, she stood up, "What about the reinforcements, are there no reinforcements?" ”
"Daxiangguo has not sent reinforcements, and the food and grass have been out for several days. Also, the crown prince of the Great Xiangguo and the Taiwei forced the palace to rebel, and the emperor and all related personnel were placed under house arrest. ”
Xiao Xiyue sat on the edge of Mo Yuchen's bed, "How could it be, how could this be." Thinking of her mother's care, her father's love, and her brother's company, Xiao Xiyue suddenly felt a hot current rushing to the top of her head, and her eyes were pitch black and she fell.
Mo Yuchen knew that she would not be able to stand it, but he had no other way to keep her.
For the next three days, Xiao Xiyue kept having a high fever and talking in her dreams. Mo Yuchen accompanied her every day, watching her cry in her dreams, Mo Yuchen's heart tightened for a while, and he could only silently grab Xiao Xiyue's hand.
On the fourth day, Xiao Xiyue woke up and saw Mo Yuchen holding her hand and falling asleep, his handsome and clean face was covered with stubble, Xiao Xiyue cried again, and this cry woke Mo Yuchen up.
"If you want to cry, just cry well." Mo Yuchen took Xiao Xiyue into his arms and hugged her trembling shoulders. "You're talking in your sleep." After Xiao Xiyue slowly calmed down, Mo Yuchen spoke, "Xiao Jun is your father, and the eldest princess is your mother. ”
Xiao Xiyue was silent for a while, "En." ”
"Now you can't go back to Daxiangguo."
"No, I'm going to my mother, I'm going to save her." Xiao Xiyue broke free from Mo Yuchen's embrace.
"How do you save it? The crown prince has a heavy army, and in a few days, he will be emperor. You're the one he's going to capture. ”
Xiao Xiyue fell silent again, "There is always a way, I will save my mother, there is always a way, otherwise how can you let me live." ”
You can follow me, Mo Yuchen said softly in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to say this, and he didn't have enough ability to protect her.
"I'll leave tomorrow and go back to Daxiangguo." Xiao Xiyue made up her mind. Mo Yuchen stopped talking, he knew he couldn't keep her.
Xiao Xiyue simply packed the package and set off, Mo Yuchen prepared enough silver tickets for her, and secretly sent someone to protect Xiao Xiyue. Xiao Xiyue worked hard all the way, day and night, and finally arrived at the boundary of Daxiangguo on the tenth day. Xiao Xiyue is confused again, can she reach Kyoto smoothly? Need help? But who could she turn to? Except for Rong Xiao, she didn't know anyone. But why did Rong Xiao help himself?
Xiao Xiyue was lying on the bed, thinking wildly, and fell asleep in a daze, in her dream she saw her family, her mother was sitting on the bed with messy hair, her father and younger brother were tied to a stake, scarred, she cried and wanted to catch them, but reached out and passed through their bodies, she could only cry helplessly. Xiao Xiyue woke up crying, the sky had just dawned, she couldn't sleep anymore, got up and continued to walk.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Xiao Xiyue heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and from far and near, the strong men on the ten tall horses were all masked, and after catching up with Xiao Xiyue, they surrounded her.
"Ouch, it's a white-faced scholar, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Xiao Xiyue realized that he had met a bandit, which was really unlucky. "Heroes, I went to Beijing to catch the exam, passing by here, I don't know if it's your territory, I don't have any silver with me, can you let me go?"
"Let you go, you can, leave it behind." Xiao Xiyue reluctantly threw the package to them.
The lead thief opened the package and found only some broken silver, "Come, search me." ”
The two got off the horse and walked towards Xiao Xiyue, only to see an arrow flying in the distance, hitting one of them in the shoulder.
", who?" Whoosh, two more sounds, and two more fell to the ground.
"Withdraw!" The bandit led by the thief shouted, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, captured Xiao Xiyue with one hand, and galloped away.
"Oh no, how can I explain to the young master now." A man in the forest lowered his bow and arrows, frustrated.
"Forget it, if the two of us can't break into the thief's den, let's go back and report to the young master first."
