Shen Xian shook her head and smiled a little ugly: "I just think we seem to be wild mandarin ducks who are about to elope now." ”

"What wild mandarin ducks, you are my Ming Media Marrying."

Shen Xian hugged his neck tightly and leaned his body tighter.

She was afraid, this was a life experience she had never had, she didn't know what awaited her in the future, and she didn't know who would win this royal battle.

But she just wanted to be with Shi Ling, as long as she was closer to him, she could feel more at ease.

Shi Ling held the reins with one hand and her hand with the other, and the horse ran very fast, fearing that she would be caught by the wind, so he covered her with his own robe.

"There may be many dangers along the way. ”

Shen Xian said calmly: "I can see it." ”

Shi Ling held her hand tighter and tighter, as if she was holding a treasure in her arms at the moment, afraid of losing it.

Now the two were still in the city of Kyoto, although they deliberately detoured the road, but they were still discovered by the forbidden army, and they pointed their bows and arrows at the two horses galloping on the street.

Just said that the danger, and here it is?

The arrow feather passed through the wind, and Shi Ling pulled Shen Xian to dodge quickly, and the arrow feather shot straight into the sandbag on the side of the street.

Shen Xian was frightened, and more arrow feathers flew towards them, dense like heavy rain.

Shi Ling sped up his speed and said to Shen Xian, "You come to drive the horse." ”

After speaking, he stuffed the reins into Shen Xian's hand, and the latter's heart was beating like thunder, and he almost didn't catch it.

But in the current situation, she must know, and she must be very good.

So he gritted his teeth and clamped the horse's belly and shouted, 'Ride!' The horse was in pain and immediately galloped out.

Shi Ling was dazzled by the long sword in his hand, and the arrows around him were blocked by him, and he shouted while the opponent's arrow pouch was empty and was replenishing: "Ah Feng! ”

Ah Feng immediately picked up the bow and arrow that was placed on the side of the horse, picked up one of the arrows they had sent and gave orders to the person who had prepared the eaves.

The arrow goes out to seal the throat.

The four of them didn't dare to stay for a moment, so they took the opportunity to run out of the city in one go.

Until she left Kyoto City, Shen Xian was still frightened, as if she could still hear her heartbeat and wheezing, and her neatly combed hair was already messy.

She glanced back at the city of Kyoto, where it was always so bustling and bright.

Even if the Imperial City is fighting now, it doesn't seem to affect the cents of Kyoto Castle in the slightest.

To be honest, Shen Xian was reluctant to Kyoto City, but if she didn't leave, she and Shi Ling would probably die in Kyoto City.

Shi Ling took the reins from Shen Xian's hand, touched her hand, and found that her hands were covered with sweat and still cold, so he hurriedly hugged her tightly and slowed down the horse's speed.

They did not take the official road, but took the mountain road, and when they reached the rugged path, they were ready to abandon their horses and walk on their feet.

Fortunately, the mountain road was relatively smooth at the beginning, and the trees were not too dense, but the disadvantage was that it was not too hidden and easy to find.

It was still dark when they left the palace, and now the sky was bright after a night of travel, and a hazy orange line rose from the east, and then little by little formed a disc.

"Oops! There are snakes! Miss has a snake beware! ”

Xiangnong screamed in surprise as she shook off Ah Feng and ran towards Shen Xian.

Shen Xian was most afraid of snakes, so frightened that her face turned pale and kept retreating, panicked to know where the snake was, but her feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Shi Lingyan quickly hugged her.

With the other hand, he drew his long sword and aimed it at the dead leaves, stabbing it down, and a small verdant and petite snake twisted a few times before it stopped moving.

"Bamboo leaves are green, non-toxic, it's early autumn, and it is estimated that they came out to forage for winter."

Shen Xian didn't dare to look at the corpse of the snake, and turned her head away with a big breath.

Shi Ling covered her eyes and handed the snake to Ah Feng: "Find an open place to eat something." ”

"Yes!"

As he spoke, he carried Shen Xian, who was weak-legged, on his shoulders, and didn't put her down until he reached the clearing.

A few people didn't dare to live, for fear of attracting people, Ah Feng took out a water bag and handed it to a few people, and Shi Ling took out a few hard pieces of dough from his baggage.

Shen Xian hadn't eaten it, so she carefully opened her mouth and bit it so much that she almost didn't break her teeth.

She turned the cake in her hand over and over again and looked at it, but she couldn't find where to start eating, and turned her head to ask Shi Ling: "Have you gone to the barracks before returning to the palace?" ”

Shi Ling ate the bread crunchy, as if it was very fragrant.

"Hmm."

Although Shen Xian has never eaten it, she has also heard people say that the dry food in the army is made of corn flour mixed with flour, which is easy to store and transport, so the taste is very rough and difficult to swallow.

Shi Ling took the dry food in Shen Xian's hand, broke the cake into small pieces to facilitate her mouth, and opened the water for her.

said: "You have to find someone to break off, now that Shi Yu has completely torn his face, let's hurry up after eating." ”

Shen Xian nodded.

"He won't succeed, His Majesty's jade seal and the edict of succession he can't find it."

Shi Ling was stunned and looked at Shen Xian strangely: "You know? ”

Shen Xian nodded, and told Shi Ling everything that Emperor Hongzheng told him when he was dying, and instead of being happy, Shi Ling frowned.

He muttered: "Until death, he is calculating people." ”

After saying that, he took a hard sip of water.

Now even if he is on the run, Shi Ling's face has not collapsed in the slightest, his posture is upright and upright, and he looks educated.

Not to mention that, who knew that he was a beggar since he was a child?

Shi Ling knew that Shen Xian must have a lot of doubts in her heart now, so he explained to her in detail while rushing to the mountain road.

In fact, on the day of His Majesty's birthday, he knew that the third prince was going to do it, but the third prince did things secretly, and everything was handed over to his subordinates, and he would never be contaminated with half a point.

So he checked for so long, even if he knew that the person behind him was the third prince, there was no way to take him down.

His Majesty is already terminally ill, and he is willing to act in this play for the sake of the future of his eldest son.

In fact, even without that assassination, the emperor would not have survived.

Later, when the people belonging to the Third Prince in the Criminal Department deliberately said that the assassin's mastermind was the crown prince, Shi Ling did not refute it, nor did he redress his grievances, which was the result they wanted.

Because only by escaping everyone's eyes, they were able to leave Kyoto City quietly, and then go to Changyong Pass to join the army, and then attack the city in one fell swoop.

It can be said that since the emperor fell ill, everything he and the crown prince did was actually acting for Shi Yu to see, pretending to lose, pretending to be defeated.

"When I left the palace yesterday, I felt that someone was following, so I went to the barracks on purpose to make him think that I was colluding with the people in the barracks, but in fact I just went to get some dry food, and when I came out again, the people were gone."

Shen Xian suddenly realized.

"So the person who chased and killed us yesterday was Shi Yu?"

Shi Ling thought for a while, and suddenly shook his head: "No, as you said, he doesn't have the jade seal and the edict of inheritance, he can't sit on the throne of God, he wants to be recognized and can only leave me as my own uncle, but those people want to kill us all." ”

Shen Xian was stunned, could it be that someone was still targeting them in the dark?
