Chapter 61: Leaving Xuancheng
At night, the moonlight is hazy. The city lord's mansion all fell asleep.
"The old man is not good!" The family hurriedly knocked on the room of the city lord Lin Zhi, and there was a sound of rustling clothes in the house.
Lin Zhi opened the door with his clothes on, and reprimanded him with a straight face: "What kind of body is it to be in a panic!" Something to say slowly. ”
The family took a breath and said, "Young, young master, it's the young master who has an accident." Lin Zhi glared at him, cursed, and hurriedly walked towards Lin Xuan's room. What's wrong with Xuan'er?
He opened the door, and it was a mess and everything was smashed. Several family members hurriedly pressed Lin Xuan on the bed.
Lin Zhi saw the red eyes and roared, "Bastard! The family was frightened by his roar and forgot to move for a while.
Lin Xuan lost his restraints, and suddenly rushed to Lin Zhi with a dirty face, hugged his legs, trembling and begging: "Daddy, help me, help me, I don't want to die yet, please save me." ”
Lin Zhi bent down to help him up, but he fell to the ground and wailed. Seeing his son in such pain, he didn't want to mention how heartbroken it was.
He hugged Lin Xuan, "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you, Xuan'er?" My Xuan'er. ”
"Poisonous ....." Lin Xuan spit out a word with difficulty, and all his internal organs were mixed together. Suddenly remembered that Mo Jingli had only given him half of the antidote, and panicked.
Lin Xuan squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Dad, that man ......" and then he didn't say anything, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't say a word, his whole body was cramping, and there was a brief tinnitus.
"You take care of the young master, if he makes a mistake, let you bury him all!" Lin Zhi put down this sentence, took three steps and made two steps to go to the prison. The family couldn't say what was going on, so they could only move Lin Xuan to the bed to clean up the mess.
The moonlight shone obliquely into the prison and sprinkled on the two people who were snuggled together.
Mo Jingli calculated that the time for the poison was up, and Lin Zhi came to visit.
Lin Zhi came in and said, "What about the antidote?" The sweat on his forehead could tell how much he had walked and how anxious he was.
Mo Jingli didn't get carried away, hugged Tian Yao tightly and looked out the window and said, "I can give you the antidote, but you have to let us go." Lin Zhi agreed almost without hesitation, his son was in danger, and he couldn't sit idly by.
Mo Jingli, who had his back to Tian Yao, didn't see the contemplation in her eyes.
"I promise you, you'd better not play tricks on me." Someone was called to open the cell door, Mo Jingli stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and took Tian Yao up. Lin Zhi turned to leave, an elusive smile on his face.
"It's not impossible to let you go, but I don't know if you can survive after Xuancheng." He sneered in his heart, daring to joke with his son's life, he would make them pay a terrible price.
Maybe it was because her legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time, Tian Yao staggered a little when she stood up, and Mo Jing quickly grabbed her waist from her eyes, so she was spared and didn't fall a. Tian Yao wanted to thank him, so he pulled her out and didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
At night, the streets are deserted, and without the lively shouting during the day, they look bleak.
Lin Zhi didn't bring many people, only two guards. When I got to the city gate, the city gate had been closed for a long time. He took out the token, and the guards who guarded the door knew him, and opened the door according to his orders.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhi stopped and said, "Can you give me the antidote now?" "It is worthy of a father and a son, and if there is a father, there must be a son, the tone is the same.
Mo Jingli smiled innocently, "Naturally." While finding a porcelain vase in his clothes, Lin Zhi took it and had no time to take care of it, so he took it and immediately returned to the city.
Mo Jingli and Tian Yao looked at Lin Zhi's hurried back, Tian Yao unintentionally turned his head sideways to see Mo Jingli's side face, and suddenly saw a trace of sarcasm, and then looked at it with the same smile as usual.
"Let's go." He took Tian Yao's hand, the night was a little cold, and his body temperature was transmitted to Tian Yao through his hand. Tian Yao has long despised herself in her heart, I don't know how many times, but she can think crankily even if she holds hands.
The doubts in Tian Yao's heart have not been solved, if Mo Jingli is a fraud, then the city lord will definitely not invite them out so respectfully. "By the way, Brother Ah Li, haven't you already given him an antidote, why is he still poisonous?"
Mo Jingli turned his head, his shining eyes shining in the dark night, and Tian Yao guessed that he should be laughing. He said, "Of course, it's not the real antidote for him for the first time, silly A-Yao." ”
Tian Yao's gaze was slightly downcast, "Did you already guess that there would be pursuers before you left a hand?" Mo Jingli didn't speak, looking down at his feet, "The road at night is not easy to walk, A-Yao should be careful." He digressed with another sentence.
Tian Yao understood that he didn't want to discuss this, so he kept an eye on it. Although she felt that Mo Jingli would not hurt her, she had to guard against others, and the world of deceit could only rely on herself.
Tian Yao followed Mo Jingli's words and said, "Then where are we going now?" Since he didn't want to talk, she couldn't force it. How could Mo Jingli, such a smart person, not understand her intentions?
Mo Jingli looked up at the silver moon in the sky, unintentionally revealing a kind of desolation, seeing Tian Yao's heart tremble, he said softly: "Let's leave Xuancheng first, this is still their territory after all, and then make plans when we leave here." Tian Yao didn't have a better idea, so she could only nod.
When the two left Xuancheng, it was already the fifth watch, and on the way, I don't know if it was not the cause of Fang Cai's problem, no one spoke, so they walked silently until dawn.
An orange light appeared in the east, and the inn next to the official road opened its door. The guy yawned, and was scared to his senses by the two who suddenly stood up.
He muttered, "I really want to scare people to death in the morning." ”
Mo Jingli said to him good-naturedly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, the two of us were really tired from traveling overnight yesterday." The man waved his hand, "Forget it, you guys come in." Mo Jingli winked at Tian Yao and walked in first.
Tian Yao shook her head and followed.
ordered a few dishes, and the atmosphere of the two at the dinner table was better, but it was only better. After hastily settling their stomachs, the two bought two horses in the stables of the adjacent inn.
Riding on the horse, beating the horse and galloping for a while, Mo Jingli said: "A-Yao, maybe we have to rush to the capital sooner." ”
Tian Yao held on to the reins, not distracted, but said, "I can, don't worry about me when Mo Jing leaves my brother." Mo Jingli looked at the little woman who was looking intently in front of her on horseback, and her heart softened.
After running wildly for a day, the night was already thick before the two stopped to spend the night in the woods. After all, it was a girl, Tian Yao couldn't help but be so bumpy, and hurriedly fell asleep after eating some dry food. Mo Jing left the first half of the night, and she kept the second half of the night.
He was staring at the flames in a daze, when a stone suddenly flew next to him, and he took it with an unchanged face and removed the note tied to it. Smile softly and drop the note in the fire.
The city lord of Xuancheng actually sent chasing soldiers, he really wanted to kill them.
When who is he? The tiger doesn't make a threat, when he is a sick cat? He dropped the stick in his hand and stood up and whistled.
A figure who was completely black and fused with the black curtain fell from a tree not far away and knelt down a few steps in front of him, "Go and get rid of the tail behind you." The man in black didn't speak, he just made a gesture.
There was a few buzzing in the woods before calming down.
The light of the fire shone on Mo Jingli's body, lengthening his shadow.
"Brother Mo Jingli." Mo Jingli was stunned for a moment, and his heart was shocked. He turned around, and Tian Yao, who was sleeping deeply, woke up at some point, and his eyes were very clear. "A-Yao, why did you wake up?"
Tian Yao looked up at Mo Jingli, which made him feel quite uncomfortable and sat down, and he didn't know how much Ah Yao listened.
Tian Yao sat up and stretched, "That damn city lord sent someone?" ”
Mo Jingli nodded, reached out and gently rubbed her head, "Ah Yao don't worry, I've already asked someone to clean up." Tian Yao quietly sat closer to him and hugged her knees, "Well, you sleep, I'll keep vigil." ”
He originally planned to let Tian Yao have a good rest, but he didn't expect her to wake up by herself, and he couldn't resist her, so he could only lie down next to her and sleep lightly.
Tian Yao tilted her head, and Mo Jingli's sleeping appearance hooked her in a daze. Just now she overheard his order, and almost asked, why don't you just leave here and go to the prison? Such a question comes.
The next day, the two did not rush like this, and the pursuers behind them had been removed, so there should be no danger in a short time. But there was no shadow of the town in sight, and in the evening, Mo Jingli pointed ahead and said, "A-Yao, where are we going, there should be someone over there." ”
It's time to cook dinner, and smoke rises from the rooftops of every house. The village was small, and they led their horses in, and the villagers who came home from their farm work were looking at them.
Maybe it's because few people come, so I think it's fresh.
Along the way, many women stopped the kitchen knives in their hands and looked outside, all because of the person next to them, can they be eaten as food if they look so good!
Perhaps sensing Tian Yao's resentment, Mo Jingli grabbed her shoulders and used his actions to show those women that he already had a master and would not accept harassment. Mo Jingli knocked on the door of the family, "May I ask anyone?" ”
The door opened, but there was no one to be seen, and a soft and glutinous voice came from below: "Who are you looking for?" The two of them bowed their heads at the same time, and the child behind the door showed his head, with the head shape of two cupolas, and asked playfully with a wink.
Tian Yao smiled facelessly, the child pouted aggrievedly, closed the door with a "snap", and the voice of her looking for her mother came from the courtyard.
After a while, the door opened again, this time a chubby woman, and the child watched the two from behind her.
The woman smiled kindly, "Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" ”
Tian Yao said: "Sister, the two of us passed by here, seeing that it was not early, we wanted to find a place to stay for one night and continue to travel tomorrow." When the woman heard this, she immediately opened the door, "Come in, it's really dangerous to live outside at night, and it just so happens that there are still a few vacant rooms in my house, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
