Liaomo is adjacent to the capital of the Great Yao Emperor, and the terrain is high and mountainous, and it takes a whole day to pass through here. Nanxin Junshou set off early in the morning and began to mumble something about the thieves and the like, as if he was quite afraid of the rumors of the mountainous bandits and thieves in this place, and he would rather be drunk than take it seriously, and Su would not abandon him, and he didn't know who robbed whom in the end.

Getting closer and closer to the imperial capital made Bai Qige become more and more silent day by day, often sitting in the carriage for most of the day without saying a word, and the wheels rolled in the boundless silence.

In order to arrive before the limited date, Nanshin County Shou chose a closer mountain road, so the meal of the group on this day was only dry food and cold water, which can be bitter for the county guard who usually has big fish and meat, so when a thick meat fragrance enters his nose, Nanxin County Shou's saliva rushes to his head, and his eyes are straight.

"Go, ask, ask what the people in front of you are doing," Seeing that there were several large tables of people sitting in front of the dilapidated roadside hut, and the smell of meat wafting from the big bowl on the table, Nanxin County Shou swallowed hard.

The officers and soldiers who ran errands quickly inquired back: "My lord, those are all hunters in the mountains, and today there are people who have a happy event and want to cook meat, cook wine and feast friends according to local customs, so they set up a table outside." The hunter who did the happy event said that the roe deer meat in the pot had just been cooked......"

"Look, look at your little bit of talent," Nanxin County Shou scolded the drooling officers and soldiers, but his gaze was uncontrollably aimed at the steaming bowl on the table. Pretending to think about it, Nanxin County Shou waved his hand: "Let's go, go over and see, take a look, what if it's a thief or a thief." ”

Who doesn't want to go for the smell of meat. The officers and soldiers behind him responded to each other, and Hulala walked with Nanxin County Shou towards the crowd of people gathering for dinner.

Ning Xi was drunk in the carriage and also heard the conversation between the errand runners and the county guard, opened the curtain and looked forward, and then groaned slightly, and gently rubbed the tip of her nose with her fingertips: "White girl, things don't seem to be quite right." ”

"How." Bai Qige was absent-minded, didn't notice what was happening, and couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw that Ning Xi's drunk face was not the usual light smile.

Ning Xidrunk beckoned Bai Qige to take a closer look: "You see, that house is dilapidated, obviously few people live in it, who will do a happy event here." Besides, the time is not right, and there are bowls for meals, which are too new for Orion who have lived in the mountains for a long time, isn't it? ”

Hearing Ning Xidrunk say this, Bai Qige also noticed that those who claimed to be Orions were a little weird, especially the bride in a wedding dress and a hijab, whose petite body shape felt very familiar no matter how she looked at it. Gasping suddenly, Bai Qige grabbed Ning Xi's drunken hand and his face turned pale, and before he could open his mouth, those fake hunters suddenly jumped up from the table and rushed towards the escort officers and soldiers whose eyes were glowing with salivating meat.

"Leaves...... It's a small leaf,"

When the screams and the sound of the hand-to-hand soldiers came, Bai Qige exclaimed.

"Sister Bai, come out quickly, I'll bring someone to save you," the fiery red hijab was torn off, and the bride who rushed out of the crowd was indeed pretended to be Ye Huawan, and her childish little face was full of anxiety.

The sudden change did not make Ning Xidrunk overjoyed, looking at Ye Huawan who rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, the blue-eyed wanderer smiled bitterly: "Master Ye Zhuang, you ...... What kind of fuss are you doing? ”

"Oh, what's going on, hurry up and follow me," Looking back at his companions in the fight, Ye Huawan gritted her teeth and grabbed Bai Qige and Ning Xi drunk, and couldn't help but drag the two of them to the roadside woods, "Hurry up, hurry up and leave while you're in chaos, you can only withdraw when you leave,"

At that time, the people brought by Ye Huawan had already scuffled with the escort officers and soldiers, and several sharp-eyed officers and soldiers among them ran with knives when they found that Bai Qige and the others were leaving, obviously believing that Bai Qige had plans to escape. In such a chaotic situation, it was impossible to explain clearly, and Bai Qige did not think that the Nanxin County Shouhui did not care about the casualties of his officers and soldiers, so he was forced to leave first with Ye Huawan into the dense forest.

"The carriage is at the foot of the mountain, and it will be quick to reach it along the path, and it will be difficult for them to catch up as long as they leave the mountain." Ye Huawan opened the road in front and trotted briskly, so tired that she couldn't breathe, but she had a smug smile on her face, "Sister Bai, don't worry, those are all Qiao's brothers, I heard that everyone is very positive when they come to save you, there will definitely be no problems,"

Bai Qige suddenly stopped, pulling Ye Huawan to stumble and almost fall, the girl turned back suspiciously, only to see Bai Qige's eyebrows with anger and a blue face.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I ...... I'm helping Brother Chen save Sister Bai from escaping......" Ye Huawan, who was angry and angry, was full of grievances, and looked up at Bai Qige timidly.

"You,," Bai Qige wanted to scold a few words, but seeing Ye Huawan's pitiful expression and couldn't bear it, her tone suddenly softened by seven points, half helpless and half emotional, "Ye Zi, you are too ignorant, you are helping Chen Jing, you are obviously pushing us all into the fire pit,"

The owner of Yiye Villa, who was eager to save people's hearts, thought that he had finally done a big thing independently, but he didn't expect to be split and covered with his face when he brought Bai Qige out, and tears of grievance swirled in his eyes, and he looked at Ning Xidrunk with a flat mouth, and asked for help. However, Ning Xi was drunk and couldn't give the little girl any comfort, so she only shook her head lightly and patted the top of Ye Huawan's head.

"Master Ye Zhuang did something wrong with good intentions."

Is it also wrong to save people? Ye Huawan couldn't figure it out, lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes silently, tears rolling down.

Ye Huawan is simple-hearted, always hot-headed and reckless when encountering problems, Bai Qige knows that she has good intentions, her attitude just now is indeed a little excessive, she bent down to wipe the tears on Ye Huawan's face and whispered softly: "Let's go, Yezi, let's get out of here first, you let those brothers get out and go back to Qiao's village as soon as possible, and I will explain the rest to you slowly." ”

"Well, when Sister Bai comes down the mountain safely, I'll signal them to leave." Ye Huawan nodded in response, with a cry in her voice.

As Ye Huawan said, along the path, the four people quickly walked to the foot of the mountain, Ye Huawan lit a pile of dead leaves and rose up a billowing plume of smoke, and it didn't take long for the people and horses of Qiaojiazhai who came to rob the prisoner to come back, and after counting, there were no casualties. After saying goodbye to the people who came to help, Bai Qige took Ye Huawan and Ning Xidrunk and Su Buqi to find a small farm courtyard to rest, at this time it was not early, looking to the north, the towering city wall of the imperial capital was faintly visible.

"Sister Bai, what did I do wrong. Won't you be free if you are rescued? In the small but clean courtyard, Ye Huawan still can't let go of her grievances.

Bai Qige didn't want to answer yet, but Ning Xidrunk had already opened his mouth to explain: "Master Ye Zhuang only thinks about saving people, is he not thinking about what will happen in the future." The white girl was wronged and aggrieved, and General Xiao is still trying every means to find evidence to prove the innocence of the white girl in the south. Outsiders will not say that it is your Ye Zhuang master who is young and reckless and committed a wrong thing, but will only say that the white girl is weak and does not dare to return to the palace, so she defects halfway, so it is not so easy to prove that the white girl is innocent and frank. ”

"I only thought that Sister Bai was wronged, I didn't think about it so much......" Listening to Ning Xi's drunken analysis, Ye Huawan was dumbfounded, and her eyes were red with guilt and self-blame.

"That's it, it's useless to say anything now, and Ye Zi did a foolish thing to help me." Bai Qige wanted to comfort Ye Hua a few words late, but she was also very confused in her heart, and she couldn't talk about it at all. Calm eyebrows suddenly thought of something, Bai Qige hurriedly asked Ye Huawan again: "Yezi, why is it only yourself." Fu Chu and Zhan Ting don't know about you coming to rob the prisoner? As for Chen Jing, he knows it or not. ”

Ye Huawan shook her head and said angrily: "No, Senior Brother, Brother Zhan and Brother Chen don't know, I sneaked out by myself, and after passing the message to Qiaojiazhai, I have been waiting for Sister Bai here." ”

Bai Qige was surprised, frowned and suppressed his voice: "You don't even have a pass token, how can you get out of the palace." Yezi, tell me, did anyone teach you to do this? ”

Kidnapping prisoners is not a trivial crime, Ye Huawan is a simple-minded child after all, it is impossible for her to come up with such a method alone, not to mention that Yi Chenjing will not tell her too specific details. According to Bai Qige's understanding of Ye Huawan, the most likely situation is that someone secretly instigated and instigated, otherwise how could the robbery of prisoners be so smooth and accurate.

As Bai Qige expected, Ye Huawan lowered her head with a red face, and her voice was as small as a mosquito: "It's a person named Song Mujie...... He said that the emperor ordered Sister Bai to be killed, and told me that I couldn't tell too many people so as not to leak the news, so I ...... I carried my brother behind my back, and they went out of the palace with him......"

"Song Mujie." Bai Qige had a vague impression of this name, it seemed that this person had been among the demoted officials when Yi Chenxuan's faction fell, and if he remembered correctly, he should be the head of the guard. If Song Mujie deliberately instigated Ye Huawan to rob the prisoner and then put her at a disadvantage, then does it mean that Yi Chenxuan was also involved in this matter. Thinking of this, Bai Qige couldn't help but shudder.

If Yi Chenxuan is manipulating behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape from the net that greets her, that man is really cunning and terrifyingly smart.

"What is the white girl going to do, it's unlikely that she will go back to the county keeper to continue walking." Without waiting for Bai Qige to answer, Ning Xi was drunk and shook his head in denial, "The county guard has lost so many officers and soldiers, we will definitely be hacked to death as a live target when we go back, and then we will cut it first and then play, forget it, forget it." ”

The original tense atmosphere was stirred up by Ning Xi's drunkenness, and immediately became much more relaxed, although Bai Qige couldn't laugh, his mood gradually calmed down: "I definitely can't go back, I think it's better to go back to the palace before the escort team to ask for guilt, as long as I go back, it shouldn't be considered a defection, at most I will be charged with gathering a crowd to make trouble." ”

Ning Xi was drunk and silent for a moment, coaxing Ye Huawan to enter the house with Su Buqi, the smile faded, and only the light arc of meaning was left at the corner of his mouth.

"The imperial capital is close at hand, you see that behind the city wall there are many crises and difficulties, why bother to take the initiative to jump into the fire pit. The front and back harems are not suitable for you, White Girl, you should be free and free, the world is so big, can't you give up that land and find another peace. ”

In her memory, this is not the first time that Ning Xidrunk persuaded her to leave Yaoguo, Bai Qige lowered her eyebrows and didn't look at the haze and dark clouds above the imperial capital, and tried to recall Yi Chenjing's face, his smile, his breath, and dig out everything about Yi Chenjing from the bottom of her heart.

Only in this way can she keep her heart unshaken.

After a long time, when the two spring thunders sounded muffled in the sky, Bai Qige leaned sideways on Ning Xidrunk's shoulder, so tired that he was so weak that he couldn't even speak.

"It's not that I can't give up this land or the identity of the crown princess, it's him who I can't let go."
