The temperature difference between morning and evening in the wind season in Youzhou is huge, and the scorching sun is rising at noon, and the rolling heat wave is mixed with the wind and sand in the sky, which seems to swallow everything on the ground. Wen Ye took off her outer shirt and only wore red clothes, but the white and inner clothes inside were also soaked, she hugged herself tightly with her arms, the golden butterfly mask on her face had been removed, and her eyes were full of exhaustion and pain.

Half an hour ago in the back hall of the state government, Wen Ye's body was paralyzed the moment she saw the pattern, and the pattern awakened her painful memory, which was a nightmare that she could not get rid of in her life, and she was now at the limit of her strength.

"Miss, there are new clothes in the carriage, and we can get out of the territory of Youzhou City before dark."

Bi Xiao drove the carriage fast, Wen Ye suddenly decided to go out of the city must have her reasons, she has never said much about Bi Xiao about the court, and Tourmaline also knows that this is a kind of protection for Wen Ye to her.

"Did they follow?"

Wen Ye changed her underwear and half lay in the carriage, curled up as much as possible to try to make herself comfortable, the soft cushion on the ground did not feel too hard, she tried to unscrew the water bag and drank two sips, and her hot throat instantly refreshed a lot.

"In the back, a mile from us."

Wen Ye sighed lightly and gently lifted the curtains of the car, looking at Youzhou City that was gradually moving away and breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know what she was afraid of, whether it was the familiar pattern or the dangerous Youzhou, maybe neither, what scared her more than the unknown road ahead was the nightmarish "past life" pain......

The firelight in the sky made her unable to open her eyes, the sharp arrows like rain pierced the chests of the soldiers, the piercing cries resounded throughout the capital, and a woman in red on the city wall smiled sadly and jumped down, and the gentle sound like water came into her ears.

"Third princess, I want you to live, live well."

"Don't!"

Wen Ye's hands clutched the placket of her chest tightly, her newly changed underwear was soaked again, and her body was too tired to fall asleep.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Bi Xiao was worried when she heard her exclamation, and slowly stopped the carriage, and she opened the door and entered the carriage. Wen Ye breathed rapidly and tears flowed, and he sat in the corner with his hands and knees, and Bi Xiao approached without noticing.

"Miss, miss."

Bi Xiao called Wen Ye softly, slowly squatted in front of her, and reached out to hug her tightly, this kind of Wen Ye made her extremely distressed and made her feel extremely powerless.

At this time, the horizon was dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and they had just left the boundary of Youzhou City, and they could reach the post station in the outer suburbs in half an hour. Everyone stopped the carriage one after another, and Wanzhao jumped out of the carriage to see Wen Ye, but before he could step forward, his arm was grabbed by Qingtian.

"My sister is here, it's fine."

Qingkong knew that something must have happened to them in the state office, so he ran out of Youzhou City in such a hurry, and he didn't want Wanzhao to know about it. Wanzhao nodded reluctantly, they had never allowed her to know too much about the "Banshan Pavilion", but she saw all the bitterness in the master's heart.

"In three years, she has never lived a day for herself."

Wanzhao muttered to herself, looking up at the endless desert, and unconsciously her eyes overflowed with tears. The yellow sand in the sunset gives people a sense of loneliness and sadness, just like the third princess standing outside the imperial city three years ago, the despair in her eyes will never be forgotten for the rest of her life.

Wen Ye in the carriage gradually came back to her senses, and she patted Bixiao's shoulder to signal that she was fine. Bi Xiao straightened up, unscrewed the water bag and handed it over. Wen Ye smiled and took the water bag, took a big sip, and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his backhand.

"Bixiao, do you remember the first thing I asked you to check when the 'Banshan Pavilion' was founded three years ago?"

"Youzhou County Shouqin wins! It turned out to be him, no wonder that pattern was so familiar, it was actually the tattoo of Qin Huan's soldiers. ”

Bi Xiao knew that Wen Ye had always been unforgettable, and the pattern must have been recognized, it turned out that she was in a hurry to get out of the city because of this matter, she touched the silk scarf embroidered with a tattoo pattern in her arms, and continued in a daze.

"Now it should be said that it is the Youzhou county guard of the previous dynasty, and the four-grade county guard of the previous dynasty has now cut the military power to change to the five-grade Zhizhou, and all of them have spoken officials, only the right to transfer troops does not have the right to support the army, and the pacification envoys of the states and counties in charge of the military power, if you want to send troops, you must have the token of the Zhizhou."

Wen Ye nodded slightly, this method of mutual restraint between civil and military officials was proposed by Prime Minister Wang back then, and now he has regained his position is also Emperor Yan's trust in him.

"Yes, this is the most courageous thing that Emperor Yan has done since he ascended the throne, and this step is really not easy."

Bi Xiao sighed secretly, the reason why the saint was so successful was not because of the power of the "Banshan Pavilion", she still remembered that Wen Ye was running around with the four major states and counties and between various forces, and she had to worry about the Wen family's industry to earn money to fill the treasury, for half a year, she saw that the young lady had not slept a day and slept peacefully.

"Miss, I've been miserable for you, it's all over."

The former county guard of Chaozhou County has great power, and even has the situation of self-respect of the army, and Qin Huan, the county guard of Youzhou, has the strongest soldiers and horses, even after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, although he handed over the military power to the Youzhou pacification envoy, but most of the soldiers and horses were forcibly brought into the Huangsha Gobi east of Youzhou by him.

In the past three years, no one knows where they are going, and they have disappeared together with the Qin family, and there is a huge danger hidden in the depths of the desert, and it is difficult for those who have not gone out to enter.

Wen Ye originally wanted to find out, but she sent people into the desert many times, either there was no return or there was no trace, and she also died because of this, and this time the tattoo of the Qin family appeared again, which made her rekindle her belief in revenge.

"It seems that Qin Ying is not dead yet, and wants to make a comeback again! If he really dares to show up, he will definitely go and never return this time. ”

Bi Xiao tightened the sword in his hand, and the confrontation with Qin Ying must be a vicious battle, it can even be called a war, and the current strength of the "Banshan Pavilion" is far from being able to compete with it.

"Miss, do you want to make this matter known to the saint immediately?"

Wen Ye shook her head, Chu Yan still knew about this matter later, Qin Ying's matter had become a knot in her heart, and she had not untied it three years ago and was now deeply involved again, and she knew the entanglements and contradictions best.

"This matter is very relevant and has not been clarified, it is not appropriate to pass on the book, and I will make a report when I return to Beijing and enter the palace."

"Aren't we going to check?"

Bi Xiao didn't want to let go of this opportunity, if he ambushed people in the state government prison, he would definitely gain something.

"Check, but not now, if you check the Qin family's Youzhou immediately, it will be completely over."

Wen Ye's eyes were firm, and her heart was no longer flustered, she knew that she had to hold on, just like she had three years ago.

Before dark, everyone arrived at the post station outside Youzhou City, Wen Ye ate something and fell asleep, and her body was overconsumed by the continuous rush. Wanzhao lit the soothing incense and put it on the table, and retreated lightly.

"Evening light, you come down."

Bixiao was waiting for her to come out at the door, and pulled her to the backyard.

"Sister Bixiao, is there something wrong?"

The two went all the way to the backyard, and Bi Xiaofei jumped on tiptoe to the roof, and Wanzhao also sat next to her.

"I'm going to go to Liangzhou, and you and Qingtian will go back with me."

After Bi Xiao finished speaking, he handed over a small wine jug, but Wanzhao didn't pick it up, and asked with a slight frown.

"Is the master going too?"

Bi Xiao took a sip of wine and had a headache at the reaction to the evening light. Wan Zhao was originally to the Xiang family, but in recent years, he has been loyal to Wen Ye, and now he doesn't even have the weight of what she said.

"Xiaochun will come to pick her up and go back to Beijing, and we will be back in two or three days."

"I'm not going, I'm going to follow my master back to Beijing."

Wanzhao said resolutely and did not give Bixiao any room for negotiation, which made Bixiao a little angry.

"What? You don't want to admit it anymore with Clear Sky? ”

Bi Xiao raised her head and drank the bamboo leaves in the wine jug, she already knew what happened to the two that night, since their hearts were the same, as the eldest sister of the clear sky, she naturally wanted to take care of his family.

"Since it's kissed, what is there to dare not recognize!"

Wanzhao raised her chin and smiled, making Bixiao laugh dumbly, she was really not ashamed at all. Under the eaves, a handsome boy in a black knight's costume hooked a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh.

"She's really ......"

"Since you're here, come up, after all, it's the two of you!"

Bi Xiao on the roof smiled slightly, and Wan Zhao's answer was a tacit acquiescence in her relationship with the clear sky, and the two of them were mostly decided, so her stupid brother would steal the fun.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

Qingkong smiled and walked into the courtyard, and Bixiao jumped in front of him happily.

"I'm helping you propose, she agreed!"

"Don't mess around, I have no plans to get married for the time being, don't embarrass her."

Clear Sky looked up at the evening light, turned around and left. That night, she did make him happy to show her intentions, but the current situation was really not suitable for marriage, he only wanted to be by her side to protect her safety, as for the future, just let it be.

"You make it clear, you're twenty, what are you waiting for?"

Bi Xiao was so angry that she stomped her feet and hurriedly chased after her. She really can't understand this cranky brother, what is the reason for this time, but he retreated when it came to this, she is really nosy.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, the composure that he had pretended to be instantly turned into extreme panic, his slightly red cheeks turned red with anger, the shyness in his eyes disappeared, and the anger in his heart turned into a vicious curse.

"Whoever wants to marry him should gnaw a pig that night!"

Yuan Tongju, who was in prison, knew that his time was short, and he had to stick to his testimony in order to live for his relatives, and he would not reveal half a word of "master", not to mention that he had never seen "master", so how could he testify? He only hated the "master" for cronyism, and let him work with the surnamed Tian for three years, and the two had been at odds since the beginning, and he knew that something was going to happen sooner or later.

But Tian Zhutou is in a different state of mind, he firmly believes that the "master" will not abandon himself, after all, he has followed him since the previous dynasty, and someone will rescue him when it gets dark. As Tian Zhutou expected, when the night official changed shifts, as the prison door opened, he was rescued and taken to a ruined temple outside the city.

I saw a smiling man wrapped in a long robe and a turban wrapped around his head, holding a short knife in his hand, calmly appearing in front of Tian Zhutou.

"Commander Tian, don't come unharmed!"

"Young Master Qin! I knew that I was different from the surnamed Yuan, that he was a pawn that he discarded at will. ”

The excited Tian Zhutou broke away from the two black-clothed men who were supporting him, and limped in front of Qin Gongzi. Qin Gongzi smiled slightly, waved his hand at him in response, and then asked about his condition in the prison.

"Do you have a confession?"

"Of course not, I survived the torture they used, I didn't say anything about the Qin family!"

Tian Zhutou grabbed Qin Gongzi's hand, and his eyes were full of pride and invitation. Qin Gongzi smiled lightly, turned around and broke free of his clenched hands, and calmly continued to ask.

"Do they see the tattoos on you?"

"According to Childe's orders, I had already scratched the tattoo on my arm when I was arrested, and Childe took me to ......"

Tian Zhutou's words came to an abrupt end, because his throat could no longer make any sound, and Qin Gongzi put away the knife and sneered.

"It's really ridiculous, even my own son is his pawn, let alone a small commander."
