After entering the mountains and forests, there was no accurate direction identification, and Tang Cheng could only rely on the remaining clues along the way to determine the direction of Xiao Xiang's escape. It's just that the deeper they go, the fewer traces they will leave, and in the end, Tang Cheng and his party couldn't find Xiao Xiang after looking for a day and a night, so they had no choice but to return.

After returning to Gansu City with such a difficult heart, Tang Cheng was relieved when he learned that Xiao Xiang was still alive, but his whereabouts were unknown.

"Lord Qin, how should I deal with this matter?" Tang Cheng hurriedly asked.

Qin Lang sighed when he heard this, if he really wanted to distinguish it, this was still a family matter of the Son of Heaven. Although all things are well known between the two parties, they just can't put things on the surface, because it's about the royal face.

The reason why Tang Cheng asked this question was precisely because of the difficulty. Although he is old, he has no orthodox official status, and it is not appropriate for him to handle the matter.

After a while, Qin Lang said with a sad face: "Elder Tang, I have already given the matter of Gansu City to the Holy Lord. However, Qiu Lu and the others will be wanted at most, and it is unlikely that they will be killed. But Chaoping County's Taishou He Lianyun and pawn Fang Mao definitely can't take responsibility. ”

Qin Lang's words are difficult, the real people behind the scenes will not be punished in any way.

Tang Cheng actually knows the twists and turns, after all, Da Liang is such a prince, and there is no peer who can compete with him, so there will be no surprises when he succeeds to the throne smoothly in the future. So when Princess Changle was not really killed, his position could not be shaken.

It's just that the more Tang Cheng thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow this breath, he said eagerly: "Lord Qin, can you say that the princess is dead?" At present, we are the only ones who know that the princess is still safe, and the saint loves the princess so much, if he knew that the princess was dead, he would at least kill a few people to vent his anger. ”

After Tang Cheng finished speaking angrily, Qin Lang said, "Old Tang, don't do it." Not to mention that this move is suspected of deceiving the king, if the princess returns safely in the future, how will we explain it at that time? ”

Tang Cheng said angrily: "Explanation? To whom is it to be explained? Do you have to wait until the princess dies to punish the wicked? ”

Qin Lang was speechless when he heard this, why didn't he want to bring the guilty to justice, but the person who planned this matter couldn't die.

Qin Lang persuaded with good words: "Don't be angry, Don't be angry, I'll play a letter later, and the wording will be harsh." He Lianyun and Fang Mao's guilt can't escape, the main thing is how to hold those Jianghu people accountable, they..."

Tang Cheng knew what Qin Lang was going to say, wasn't it just a few palace worshippers, what's wrong? The status is bigger than the sky, and you dare to assassinate the princess?

"Hmph, if the Holy One doesn't make an order, then I'll come in person, and I want to see what His Majesty will do with me afterwards?"

After speaking, Tang Cheng left angrily.

Bai Manyun, who had been by the side but had never spoken, sighed at this time, and then left.

The emperor's family affairs are extremely complicated.

Qin Lang's original purpose in coming to Gansu City was to investigate the disappearance of the population, but he never thought that something worse would happen before the matter began.

Qin Lang paced alone in the hall, thinking for a moment how to phrase it so that he could punish the others involved in this matter as much as possible.

————

As long as He Lianyun and Fang Mao are not pulled off the horse for a day, then they will still be the Taishou and pawn of Chaoping County.

After Qin Lang and his party left, the more than ten black-clothed people from last night appeared on the right side of the county office.

The whereabouts of the group were hidden, deliberately avoiding the idle sight.

The old man in black led people into the small courtyard in the yamen, and he didn't wait for He Lianyun to speak, so he said directly: "Princess Changle escaped last night, but she was seriously injured and couldn't run far. Lord He, Lord Fang, there are two things that you need to do now. The first thing is to calm down the discussion about this matter in the city as soon as possible, and definitely not to spread the word about it. The second is that the two adults need to secretly send people to find the traces of Princess Changle. Princess Changle was taken away by Song Wan, the little Tiansi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and a strange young man, and the two adults could be wanted on the grounds of looking for the princess

Person. ”

After the old man in black gave the order, He Lianyun and Fang Mao bowed their hands.

Before leaving, the old man in black seemed to remember something and said again: "Two adults, take care." ”

After speaking, the old man hurriedly left with the group.

The last sentence of the old man in black would not be anything if he followed the previous words, but he said such a sentence alone, and it was at the end, so he couldn't help but think about it Lianyun and Fang Mao.

Fang Maozhi, who has been frightened since last night, has also accepted the reality, the matter has come to this point, no matter how bad it is, it will be a big deal.

After that, under He Lianyun's thunderous wrist, the discussion about last night's events in Gansu City gradually became smaller.

Some people even let out the word that Lord Chincha was safe and that the assassin had been brought to justice.

This point is a small obstacle, and the means can naturally only deceive some stunned young people, and most people still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Song Wan and his party did not stay in Gansu City much later, and the things that should be done have been done, and it was time to leave for Dawei.

Xia Xiu later took Shi Changyu and Liang Wei to keep their heads down and hurry until the evening of this day.

Ma Er seemed to know that his master was going to do something important, so he was not disgusted by being led by Xia Xiu.

There was something that made Xia Xiu a little worried, they met four or five waves of Jianghu people along the way, and it seemed that those people were all related to what happened in Gansui City.

————

Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang waited in the cave for most of the day, and they didn't see anyone looking for Xiao Xiang until the afternoon of this day. For the sake of safety, Shen Jing had no choice but to leave with Xiao Xiang first.

Because of the injury, Xiao Xiang's every step was a great torment, so the two of them walked very slowly.

But the slower they go, the more they have to go.

The mountains did not know the direction, and Shen Guo could only rely on the direction of the sun to roughly discern the southeast position, which was also the direction they were going.

The two walked through the mountains and forests all the way to the middle of the night, when the stars climbed the mountain canopy, they found a hidden mountain stream cave to rest.

The temperature at night in early winter is very low, and the mountains and forests are dew and the water is heavy.

Xiao Xiang was unable to exercise to keep out the cold because of her injury, so she could only sit around the bonfire to keep warm.

Shen Jing and Xiao Xiang didn't say a word along the way, because they didn't know each other, and because they didn't know each other.

In the cave, the two of them sat by the campfire, roasting two fatty fish caught from the rocky pool of the mountain stream.

Tossed for a day and a night, he still didn't eat water.

Xiao Xiang, who also had not eaten the rice, stared at the big fish that was roasted and steaming, although she knew that one of the two was hers, she was neither embarrassed to open her mouth nor embarrassed to reach for it directly.

Hunger even made Xiao Xiang forget about the cold.

After a while, Shen Kuang handed Xiao Xiang a grilled fish, but still didn't say anything.

Xiao Xiang, who was hungry, didn't twist, took the fish handed over and said thank you again, and then began to eat it in large pieces, she felt for the first time that this kind of grilled fish without oil, salt and spices could be so delicious.

After eating more than half of the meal, Xiao Xiang began to realize that she was not very elegant in eating, how to say that she was also a princess of Daliang, and she could not lose her temper at any time.

However, Shen Guo didn't even look at her and didn't say a word.

Xiao Xiang began to chew slowly, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Shen Qian, who was not eating well on the other side of the bonfire, this was the first time she looked at the other party with her eyes.

Xiao Xiang's first feeling was that he didn't look like a Jianghu man no matter how he looked, he looked delicate and gentle, more like a showman.

Of course, this is just Xiao Xiang's blind thoughts, she knows one thing, since the person in front of her knows that little Tiansi Song Wan, he must not be an ordinary person.

After a long time, Xiao Xiang looked at Shen Jing and slowly spoke, "Can I ask your name?" ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Shen Kuang raised his eyes and glanced at her when he heard this, and then ate the grilled fish by himself, Shen Kuang didn't hesitate and said directly: "Jiang Kuan." ”

Xiao Xiang blurted out with some surprise when he heard this: "You are from the Jiang clan outside the building?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Kuang stopped eating fish and shook his head: "My surname Jiang is going to come from the outer building?" If I say that my surname is Xiao, you will not think that I am also a member of the Liang royal family. ”

Xiao Xiang didn't mind being laughed at, she said lightly: "You are familiar with Song Tiansi, so I thought you were not an ordinary person." ”

As soon as Xiao Xiang's voice fell, he heard Shen Guo say again: "Correct, I am not familiar with Song Wan, and I still have hatred." ”

Although Shen Xiang's tone was serious, Xiao Xiang obviously didn't take his words seriously, only when there was some unspoken contradiction between him and Song Wan.

The wound on his shoulder was still aching, so Xiao Xiang frowned unconsciously every time he said a few words.

Shen Guan also saw that it was because of the wound, so he reminded: "The herbs I gave you can't be managed for too long, and if you don't replace them for a long time, the residue will be very itchy mixed with the skin and flesh, so we have to get out of here as soon as possible, do you recognize the way out?" ”

Xiao Xiang shook his head when he heard this: "It's the first time I've come to Chaoping County. Don't you know either? ”

"Am I here for the first time?"

After Shen finished speaking, Xiao Xiang asked, "Are you also from the Northern Wei Dynasty?" ”

Shen Guo glanced at her when he heard this, and Xiao Xiang thought that he had asked something that he shouldn't ask, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to inquire about your identity. ”

Shen Guo didn't care about this, and said indifferently: "I am indeed from Dawei, and there is nothing to hide." It's important for us to get out of the forest as soon as possible, but I feel like we're getting deeper and deeper. ”

"What then?" Xiao Xiang, who was chewing fish in his mouth, said vaguely.

Shen said: "What else can I do?" Let's go, if you're lucky, you can get out faster, and if you're unlucky, you'll have to walk for a few more days. ”

"Don't worry about the people who are chasing me?"

"Even we don't know where to go, and it's unlikely that they'll want to catch up with us."

Although she is very unfamiliar with Shen Jing, Xiao Xiang has a very strange illusion, she will always unconsciously think that it is safe to have Shen Jing by her side, and this feeling is even a little inexplicable.

The two didn't say anything after that, and after Meimei finished eating a meal of grilled fish, both of them were very satisfied.

After adding a few more pieces of firewood to the fire, Shen Guo closed his eyes and rested against the stones.

At this moment, Xiao Xiang, who felt the cold, curled up and kept himself as close to the fire as possible. But because of the injury in her right arm, she couldn't wrap herself around, so she didn't feel so warm.

After a while, he felt that Xiao Xiang had been moving around, and Shen Qing slowly opened his eyes.

After struggling for a moment, Shen Kuang took out the long shirt with a missing sleeve from his baggage and handed it to Xiao Xiang.

Shen Guo explained: "Wrap this to sleep warmly, don't get me dirty." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but slowly reached out to take it, and then wrapped it around himself little by little, when Xiao Xiang looked at Shen Jing again, he found that he was already leaning on the stone, breathing steadily, and seemed to be asleep.

Xiao Xiang looked down at the dress wrapped around her body, and she quickly noticed that the sleeves of the dress were cut off.

She suddenly remembered something, and looked at the color of the cloth wrapped around her shoulder, and sure enough, it was the same as the one wrapped around her body.

Xiao Xiang thought that this was probably sewn by Jiang Su and his wife for him before he went out.

Xiao Xiang looked at Shen Jing, who had his eyes closed, and couldn't say a lot of words that came to his lips for a while.

After experiencing life and death, it will make her feel touched by such a simple feeling, and it is ridiculous that a person who is related by blood cannot be worth a stranger.

Shen Jing didn't wear this dark cyan robe once, and Xiao Xiang slept all night wrapped in a piece of clothing that was back together.
