Late at night.

Leean blew out the candles first, and the room was dark, and she lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep.

Liu Qing had just left just now, and she was worried that Liu Qing would come back, so she had to do this first.

I've been with Zuo Xiangyang for a long time, but I haven't learned anything else, but I've learned to be cautious.

After everything was quiet outside, Lie Yi'an quietly got out of bed, and she changed into a man's dress, after all, she had to go with the master, and it was safer and more convenient to dress up as a man in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

Lie Yi'an carried the burden and tiptoed open the door.

It was quiet outside, only the crickets in the grass could be heard, Lie Yi'an looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was bright, and he could just see the road under his feet.

In the distance, several guards were dozing against the walls of the hallway.

I didn't have time to think about it, Lie Yi'an came to the corner of the wall by the moonlight, compared to when she was in the prince's mansion, her current wall-climbing skills are perfect, she jumped and flew from the corner of the wall here to the wall, sure enough, the height is not cold, Lie Yi'an looked down, she wanted to confirm whether there was anyone below, so she found that her master came earlier than her.

Zuo Xiangyang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw her standing at the head of the wall, he opened his arms, and was ready to catch her if she jumped down.

But Leean avoided where he stood, and her lithe body landed in front of him.

"Master, I've kept you waiting." Lie Yi'an smiled, dressed in white, she was bright and moving in the moonlight.

Zuo Xiangyang looked at her distractedly, such a cloud made his calm pool of water ripple in circles.

"Master!" Lie Yi'an shook his hand in front of him, and Zuo Xiangyang came back to his senses.

Zuo Xiangyang came back to his senses at this time, and pretended to be calm: "Let's go." ”

Lieian followed him. And she found that Zuo Xiangyang was still holding a map in his hand. This crumpled map is the result of many times of use, but the place names and lines are quite clear and do not affect reading.

She didn't understand the map very well, but with Zuo Xiangyang by her side, she wasn't worried about getting lost.

Lie Yi'an suddenly asked, "Master, where do I pass through first?" ”

Zuo Xiangyang squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, let's find an inn in Qionghua in the Eastern Jin Dynasty first, and take a dart from the employer to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Only then did Lie Yi'an know that the things were not on the master's body yet.

"Oh!" Lie Yi'an silently walked beside Zuo Xiangyang.

And the Tibetan Sword Villa behind her is getting farther and farther away from her.

They came to the town of Qionghua.

The shops on the street are closed, the streets here are silent, the cold wind blows, rolling up the dead leaves on the ground, it looks a little dark and terrifying, Lie Yi'an is not a timid person, but he also feels a little creepy.

The inns are closed.

This is a far cry from Zuo Xiangyang's plan to find an inn to settle in.

Lie Yi'an looked at the street, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master, where do we settle here?" ”

Zuo Xiangyang tugged at the corners of his mouth, he thought, there is a ruined temple not far away, it is better to go there.

But before he could say it, Lie Yi'an's eyes lit up, pointed to the room in front of him, and said, "Master, there is a candle lighting in front of you, and the door is open, why don't we go over and ask." ”

Zuo Xiangyang bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, let's go over and have a look first."

The two of them came to the door of the house.

The door was crumbling, and it was no wonder that people didn't close the door, it turned out that the door was broken, and the door was nothing at all.

Lie Yi'an poked his head inside, and saw a white-haired old woman sitting under the candlelight, still sewing clothes. The wrinkles on her face are one by one, shallow or deep, with a sense of the vicissitudes of time.

Looking at her kind eyes, she didn't look like a bad person, and Lie Yi'an thought that it would be better to go in and try it, maybe they could sleep here for a night.

At this time, Lie Yi'an walked in, clasped his hands, and said politely to the old man: "Old woman, my master and I are passing by here, the inn is closed, can we both stay here for one night?" ”

The old woman looked up, and when she saw Lie Yi'an's face, she suddenly looked overjoyed, she put down her needle and thread, and said excitedly: "Ziyi, you are back!" ”

"I ...... I'm not purple, I'm Lie Yi'an. Lie Yi'an said hurriedly.

Hearing this, the old woman's expression was gloomy, she let go of her hand, she looked at it, it was indeed her own old eyes dizzy, shook her head and sighed bitterly, "It's old, I can't even recognize people." ”

And at this time, Zuo Xiangyang also walked in.

"Old woman, we want to spend the night." Zuo Xiangyang also told the old man about it.

The old woman glanced at Zuo Xiangyang, frowned slightly, and then said, "But I only have two rooms here, so I can only aggrieved the girl to sleep in the same bed with me." ”

"How does the old woman know I'm a girl?" Lie Yi'an was very surprised, she thought that she looked heroic and could hide from the world, but as a result, she was seen through by the old woman at a glance.

"Because you don't have an Adam's apple." The old woman laughed.

Hearing this, Lie Yi'an was not convinced, because the old woman clearly recognized the wrong person just now, so she continued to ask, "But you even admitted the wrong person just now, but now you can see it very clearly......

Lie Yi'an felt that this old woman was really amazing.

The old woman replied, "That's because I miss the purple clothes so much." ”

Zuo Xiangyang also asked her curiously: "Ziyi, is she your relative?" ”

The old woman stood up tremblingly, nodded and said, "Well, my name is Li Guilan, and Xue Ziyi, she is my daughter, and since she got married, she rarely comes back to see me." ”

Lie Yi'an sympathized with this old woman even more, she lived alone, old and nowhere to go, no wonder she had to sew clothes to earn money to make ends meet at this age.

The old woman took Zuo Xiangyang to a room first, and asked him to sleep in that room tonight.

And Lie Yi'an slept in the same bed with the old woman.

This night, Lie Yi'an didn't sleep very peacefully, not because the two of them slept more crowded, but because she recognized the bed.

The next morning, Lie Yawn for a while.

When I woke up, I didn't see Zuo Xiangyang. Lie Yi'an was a little nervous, but the old woman cooked the porridge and beckoned Lie Yi'an to sit down and eat.

"Old woman, can you see my master this morning?" Lie Yi'an couldn't help but ask.

"He said he was going out for a bit and would pick you up later." The old woman replied, and she advised Lie Yi'an, "You better eat quickly, if the food is cold, it will not taste good." ”

Lie Yi'an nodded, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so she had to eat first.

While she was eating, her master returned.

"Master, where have you been?" Lie Yi'an hurriedly asked him.

Zuo Xiangyang sat down and didn't rush to answer her question, because there were still outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for Zuo Xiangyang to reveal it.

He ran out to meet with his employer, who handed him the darts he was to transport.

"Let's eat first." Zuo Xiangyang jumped away from the topic.

After eating, Lie Yi'an and Zuo Xiangyang were about to leave, but the old woman grabbed Lie Yi'an, "Girl, wait, my wife has something to give you." ”

Lie Yi'an was puzzled, but the old woman took out a talisman and said to Lie Yi'an with a smile: "This talisman was sewn by me with my own hands, and I also went to the Guandi Temple to pass the incense burner, you put this thing on you to keep you safe." ”

Lie Yi'an guessed that the old woman might have been a little similar to Ziyi's eyebrows and eyes, so she took care of Lie Yi'an.

Since the old woman was so kind to her, she simply accepted the gift.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lie Yi'an's lips, and he said softly, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

Lie Yi'an followed Zuo Xiangyang on the road again. As they walked through a secluded forest, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and Lie'an's forehead began to sweat.

"Yun'er, do you want to sit down and rest for a while?" Zuo Xiangyang felt sorry for her so hard. It doesn't matter if he walks sweating profusely by himself, the key is that Lie Yi'an is a woman, and Zuo Xiangyang is worried that her body will not be able to withstand such fatigue.

"Okay!" Lie Yi'an sat under a large locust tree.

Lie Yi'an took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

"Master, you went to meet with your employer this morning, right?" Lie Yi'an suddenly talked about the morning, Zuo Xiangyang went out early in the morning, and she expected that the master should go to hand over to the employer.

"Exactly." Zuo Xiangyang nodded.

He went to see his employer alone, firstly, to hide his eyes and ears and avoid startling the snake, and secondly, he thought that he would let Lieian sleep for a while.

"Then I'll have to protect you." Lie Yi'an's face suddenly became serious, of course she knew how precious this dart was.

Employers are willing to spend money to protect this dart, so they naturally attach great importance to it.

Perhaps, the master was right this time, the more low-key they were, the less anyone would discover their secrets, and no one would rob them.

Lie Yi'an's idea of luck was targeted before he could easily see it. Not far away, a few people were secretly following them.

"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree!" A man suddenly jumped out from behind a nearby tree.

One after another, several more bandits suddenly appeared.

"Who are you?" Lie Yi'an looked at the strong men in front of him in surprise.

"It doesn't matter who we are, why don't you hurry up and throw all the things on your body out of me!" The head of the bandit said viciously.

His face looked fierce, and he still held a large knife in his hand.

This kind of small scene, Lie Yi'an was already accustomed to it, and I saw her pull up her sleeves and rush towards the stupid bear-like bandit.
