"Damn, there's a wolf in this broken forest!"

"Boss, it's impossible for that woman to enter the forest, several of us are chased by that group of hungry wolves like this...... For the sake of 500 silver, I almost took a life! ”

In the darkness, Shu Mei was groping around for the whereabouts of the auspicious omen. A scolding conversation came.

Shu Mei likes to raise insect pets since she was a child, and she is very good at listening to the small chirping of various insects, so her hearing is much sharper than ordinary people. She followed the prestige, and the torches were still wandering two or three feet away from her.

"I. , it's all thorns here, and your hands are broken! ”

"Boss, those brothers in the Yamen said that Yan Siniang would go to Jinlantan, but isn't Jinlantan the camp of the Zhenxi Army? If Yan Siniang is really the killer who assassinated General Zhenxi, wouldn't she go to Jinlin Beach to throw herself into the net? ”

"That's right, she's a female killer, she won't go to great lengths to escape from the prison, just to give the soldiers a hug, right?"

"Hell knows. I'm also curious, if the yamen knew that Yan Siniang was going to Jinlantan and notified the Zhenxi army to arrest him, why bother offering a reward of five hundred taels of silver? ”

Shumei's ears suddenly stood up. The imperial court offered a reward of 500 taels of silver to capture Yan Siniang, the killer who assassinated General Zhenxi! Yan Siniang?! No wonder when Yuntong mentioned this name yesterday, he felt familiar, she was the female killer that Ling Li's brother met on the way back to Beijing for the funeral! She escaped from prison?!

But yesterday Yuntong said that he was Yan Siniang! Could it be that on the wanted warrant of the imperial court, it is not Yan Siniang who is drawn, but Shen Chan's face? !

"Boss, by the way, I have seen Yan Siniang once, Danfeng eyes, willow eyebrows, wind. It's very commotional, and it doesn't quite look like the one on the bounty list......"

"Put you in a prison for a while, I keep you like ...... now"

After listening to this conversation and thinking about things before and after, Shu Mei suddenly understood: Ling Zhao didn't find himself and Ling Li's brother, so he used Yan Siniang's escape from prison as a plan to issue a reward order to arrest him. In this way, he will be able to find the whereabouts of Brother Ling Li without much effort!

"I think it's okay, then Yan Siniang's martial arts are strong, and she can escape from the prison, and if we really want to meet her, we may not be sure that we can catch it, so why don't we go back and find a place to drink flower wine?"

"Whew-"

Another wolf howl rang out in the woods. The forest behind Shu Mei suddenly made a rustling sound, and she followed the voice, and on the lonely hillside, she saw a black shadow rushing towards the direction of Caopozi Town in the west. Looking at the panicked look, Shu Mei knew that it was a coward.

"Boss, there's movement over there!"

"Chasing ——!!!"

A few torches soon chased the auspicious omen away.

The night was quiet and the mountains were empty, and Shu Mei looked up at a few falling stars in the sky, only to feel depressed and desperate.

Since the imperial court has issued a reward order, I am afraid that Jinlan Beach will not be able to go. She knew and trusted Song You, Zhang Yi and other generals of the Zhenxi Army, and they were all stationed in the Huifeng Ridge area at the moment. Now that the auspicious omen has also abandoned the Lord and fled, how can he escape the pursuit and go so far away with Ling Li, who is unconscious? !

"Woo ......"

In desperation, Shu Mei pounced on Ling Li and cried sadly. The cry after taking the dumb medicine was extremely hoarse and ugly, but she couldn't be afraid of it.

Crying and crying, she was suddenly stunned. She felt the warmth of her vest and a large hand fell on her back!

Brother Ling Li woke up?!

Shu Mei only felt that in the chaotic darkness, there was suddenly light. She raised her head to look at the night sky, and found that a bright moon broke through the clouds on the originally dark and dreary sky, casting a beam of bright moonlight down.

Under the moonlight, Ling Li's thin face and eyes were still closed, but his right arm was half-wrapped around her. She hugged him tightly, pressed her face tightly to his chest, listened to the pounding heartbeat under his chest, and felt the warm big hand behind her as if it transmitted a magical power to her, dispelling her helpless despair.

Eleven years ago, she should have died under the walls of Xixi Palace, but he caught her; A year ago, she would have died under the scimitar of the Western Plough Barbarian, but he dragged her back from the line between life and death.

He gave her a chance to live, and she wanted him to live!

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, even if she is crawling step by step with him on her back, she must take him down!

*********

The autumn rain has been falling for half a month, and the green tile roof of Yongding City has been washed away by the rain to be exceptionally clean, and layers of iron and blue light have been diffused on the tiles, showing a cold sense of alienation.

In front of Lingfeng Pavilion, Ling Zhao leaned against the window and looked at the gray world, frowning.

"Lord Wang, I'm back."

Ling Zhao turned around and glanced at Chu Yugu who was standing at the door, and didn't see the answer he wanted from his plain face, so he turned back to look at the rain outside the window.

Seeing Ling Zhao's disappointed look, Chu Yugu said helplessly: "Lushan has dug three feet into the ground, the spies of Tianxianglou have all been dispatched, and the wanted warrant and reward order of the imperial court have also been issued for a little and a half months, but Ling Li seems to have disappeared, and he can't find any traces. ”

Ling Zhao remained motionless as if he had not heard it. Chu Yugu saw that Su Hexiang, who had already been bottled and sealed, was on the perfume table, and understood that he had not left at the moment, he was just waiting for himself. He took the pot and poured a cup of hot tea, went to the window and handed it to Ling Zhao, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, not only we can't find him, but Cheng Beikui and the Zhenxi Army haven't found anyone either." If we take the opportunity to release the news of Ling Li's assassination, there will be chaos within the Zhenxi Army in a few days......"

Ling Zhao glanced at him, "Release the news of Ling Li's assassination, I'm afraid that if you can't wait for the civil strife in the Zhenxi Army, the people who refute the Wushu will pounce!" ”

"Wushu refutes the relationship with the prince after all......"

"You think gold and silver are soft and delicate. The friendship of a wife and a beautiful concubine can rival the temptation of the splendid mountains and rivers of my South Vietnam. Confuse? Ling Zhao sneered.

"It's all my fault, I was confused for a while, and I ruined the prince's plan......"

"It's all in the past, what's the good of mentioning him?" Ling Zhao took the teacup, stared at the dark green tea soup in the cup, and said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty has been bedridden since Concubine Cheng Guifei was buried, why don't you let the Taiwanese officials put forward a plan to establish a reserve on the illness and probe Your Majesty's reaction?"

"Yesterday, the official Li Qingning had already been evacuated, and his father said that the establishment of the prince was a matter of national capital, and he needed to listen to the ministers of the two governments and three divisions in the court, so how could he be hastily perfunctory on the sickbed?" Ling Zhao raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, and said gloomily: "If I had known that there was such a change, the medicine in Su Hexiang should not have been used so hard!" ”

Chu Yugu took the teacup and saw a striking crack on the cup, only then did he know Ling Zhao's depressed mood at the moment. He asked cautiously, "Then is there any chance that Your Majesty will recover?" ”

"It's impossible." Ling Zhao shook his head, "I'll stop the medicine for a while first and see if there is any improvement." ”

"If we can't recover, then we might as well ...... it" Chu Yugu made a rope pull motion.

"The 100,000 soldiers of the Zhenxi Army are sloppy in the northwest, and there is no exact news of Ling Li, so I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future."

"What are we going to do now?"

"Keep looking for someone." Ling Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "If he is still alive, in addition to Zhenxi Ying, Dongchuan, where Cheng Beikui is located, is the best choice. ”

"Okay, I'll go to Dongchuan in person."
