Inside the ruined temple, the fire was burning.

Tang Zhao sat cross-legged on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The other disciples maintained a posture of surrounding Hua Rou in the middle, resting separately, and occasionally a few soft snores sounded.

Hua Rou turned over without sleepiness with her eyes open, sat up, Tang Zhao immediately opened her eyes and looked at her, and said softly, "Still can't sleep?" ”

Hua Rou nodded, looked outside, got up and said, "I'll go out for a walk." ”

"I'll be with you."

"No, you better have a good rest, Tang Lin is outside, there is him."

Tang Zhao didn't force it when he heard this, and walked out after she walked past everyone.

Outside the broken temple, the night breeze was cool, Hua Rou glanced at the children of the Peng family who had slept outside the temple, and looked around, and soon noticed that there was a person standing there in front of the ruins of the deserted village not far away, she thought it was Tang Lin and walked over there, and when she got to the front, she found that the huge difference in height was not Tang Lone, so she immediately turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to hear Peng Lan's voice.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, it's my choice."

Hua Rou turned her head in surprise, and at this time Peng Lan looked up at the sky: "The overall situation is important, as long as the world is safe and secure, as long as Chu Guo Changhe, I don't feel wronged at all." ”

Hua Rou blinked, didn't make a sound and didn't leave.

"Anyway, there won't be only one person around him...... Isn't it? What's more, the Tang Sect is a rare help......" Peng Lan turned around when she said this, and the self-deprecating look on her face in the moonlight instantly turned into surprise when she saw Hua Rou: "Princess? You...... Why are you here? ”

Hua Rou immediately looked up at the sky: "I came out to see the stars, but there didn't seem to be any stars, so I went back." After saying that, she turned around and left, but Peng Lan rolled her eyes behind her, and immediately shouted, "Wait! ”

Peng Lan hurriedly stepped forward, Hua Rou turned around, and the two were no more than a foot apart.

Peng Lan looked uneasy: "What I said just now, you...... Did you hear it all? ”

"Did you just say anything?" Hua Rou looked dazed, Peng Lan couldn't help but be stunned, Hua Rou smiled at this time: "Go to bed early, you have to hurry tomorrow!" After saying that, she left, her gait was light as if it had not been affected in any way, which made Peng Lan look at her back, with a stunned and confused expression.

When Hua Rou walked briskly to the broken temple, Tang Lin stood in front of her with a rabbit in her hand: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Just sleep." After Hua Rou finished speaking, she entered the broken temple, Tang Lin stood at the door, rolled her eyes, and walked to the side.

"Door Master!" Tang Zhao opened his eyes and was about to get up to meet him, but Hua Rou walked quickly to him, pulled his arm and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "How much do you know about the affairs of the Chu State?" ”

Tang Zhao was stunned: "Which piece is the door master asking?" ”

Hua Rou hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Peng family." ”

……

In front of the ruins of the deserted village, Tang Lin looked at Peng Lan and lowered his voice: "What is her reaction?" ”

Peng Lan was cautious in her eyes: "She is smarter than I thought, and she actually pretended not to hear anything." ”

Tang Xiao lowered his head and pondered, Peng Lan glanced at him: "Did she already know that I had a marriage contract with King Qi?" ”

"No one mentions it, you don't know."

"Then why is she so calm? No one can be so calm after hearing such news again. ”

"Calm down! Heart fire, I'll do it, you...... Don't hold back. After Tang Lin finished speaking, he left, Peng Lan grabbed the cloak and wrapped herself tightly, her eyes flashing fiercely.

……

The night passed quickly, the sky was just bright, and there was a sound of rustling outside the broken temple, Hua Rou woke up with her eyes open, listened to the movement and looked at the disciples resting around her, and saw that Tang Zhao was adding firewood to the fire, so she got up lightly and came to his side: "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”

"The Peng family is ready to go."

"Really? I'll take a look. Hua Rou came out of the broken temple at the moment, and at the same time, Peng Lan was coming towards the broken temple.

"Princess!" When Peng Lan saw Hua Rou come out, she immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Peng Lan is inconvenient to borrow the way, so I can only take someone to take the first step, please forgive me." ”

"Well, hard work." Hua Rou nodded, and did not do anything to stay, Peng Lan had to turn around and leave, she hoped that Hua Rou could keep herself, but she didn't see any movement until she walked to the horse, so she had to turn around and return to Hua Rou by herself.

A hint of vigilance rose in Hua Rou's eyes: "Something?" ”

"Princess, please rest assured, Peng Lan has no greed, let alone any thoughts."

"What are you talking about?" Hua Rou smiled at her: "Why can't I understand?" ”

Peng Lan stared at Hua Rou, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were filled with innocence, and she was suddenly puzzled.

Didn't she hear? But it's impossible......

"Let's go, they're waiting for you!" Hua Rou smiled and teased people, and Peng Lan could only take people away.

After they all left, the innocence and splendor in Hua Rou's eyes disappeared.

Tang Zhao also walked out of the temple at this time and stood behind Hua Rou: "Door master, do you believe her words?" ”

"Believing it or not has nothing to do with me."

Tang Zhao was puzzled, Hua Rou had already turned around and walked back: "It wasn't me who made the choice. ”

Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him with a smile: "That's right, you are already a princess, and no matter how much she jumps, she is blind." ”

After Hua Rou and Tang Zhao entered, Tang Xiao walked out from the edge of the broken temple.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Half an hour later, after everyone got up and used dry food to settle breakfast, Tang Zhao told Hua Rou where the shortcut was on a hand-drawn map spread out.

"After we climb the mountain, we enter from Yizhou, and when we reach the mouth of the Huwei Gorge in Jinzhou, we can enter the shortcut secret road, which is opened by the dry dark river, and the exit is on the river beach cliff between Xiangxiang and Changsha Fu."

"This saves time over mountains and mountains, and it is indeed a shortcut."

"But this shortcut doesn't lead to the outside, and you have to have enough water and dry food before entering."

"Then make up for it in Yizhou!" After Tang Lone's suggestion was agreed by everyone, the group quickly packed up their things and set off.

The sunset and night came, and the darkness went to dawn, and after two days of reciprocation, Hua Rou and his party finally arrived outside the city of Yizhou, but this kind of border city was heavily guarded, and the people who entered and exited naturally had to be strictly screened.

"The screening is very strict, we have to get an identity to go in." Tang Zhao muttered, and Tang Xiao answered beside him: "Just the line may not be enough." In this way, you take two people to sneak in and get some merchant clothes out, and then make a mask, and I will go to the city to make a road guide. ”

Just as Tang Xiao was explaining to Tang Zhao, Hua Rou stretched out her hand to feel the wind speed and direction.

"Done! See you later! Tang Zhao nodded and was about to leave.

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble!" Hua Rou whispered, "I can make them lose their minds for a moment, enough for us to pass." ”

Tang Zhao was a little surprised and excited when he heard this: "Does the door master use poison?" ”

"Well, it's important to save time, and remember to hold your breath when you get down the gates." After Hua Rou finished speaking, she drove her horse forward.

Tang Lin looked at Hua Rou's back and frowned.
