As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the sunlight had not yet fallen into the courtyard of the Ming Wang's mansion, Li Hanning habitually woke up from a dream and opened his eyes, Li Hanning has always gotten up early since he left the Li Mansion in Chang'an, and he is used to practicing swords for half an hour.

And the reason why she got up later than usual was-

As soon as Li Hanning opened her eyes, there was still the same dress she wore when she went to the banquet last night on the screen, Li Hanning quickly got dressed and got up.

As soon as I got off the soft collapse, I found the most embarrassing place, my legs were weak and weak, and I even trembled a little uncontrollably.

Their Highness knows the marrow, and the scene that happened here last night suddenly flickered, and Li Hanning could only frown and restrain himself from thinking about it.

is so ridiculous, it must be because of the medicine that was drugged in the wine last night, or because of the dim candlelight in this room last night, in short, she really regrets it very much now, Xiao Ce was obviously leaving last night, why did she uncontrollably reach out and pull the corner of her clothes, so what happened next.

Originally, she thought that today was the end of the night, and she had been groggy last night, and she herself should have forgotten about it, but now that she thinks about it, even if she drinks the medicine, she still remembers everything clearly.

Li Hanning suddenly didn't know how to face Xiao Ce next.

Just when there was some hesitation and trance about whether to open this door and go to the courtyard, the door in front of him opened in response, and it was Xiao Ce who was dressed in guard clothes who walked into the room.

"You're awake."

Xiao Ce said: "Earlier today, I sent someone to the palace to take leave, saying that you are not feeling well, and my father will also allow you not to go to court in the next few days."

She also has no position in Luoyang, and it doesn't matter much whether she goes to the early dynasty or not.

Li Hanning didn't advance or retreat, so he had to sit on the chair next to him without a trace.

Xiao Ce sat on the seat next to her by the way, hesitated for a moment and looked at her and said:

"How are you feeling today? Do you want the doctor to take a second look? ”

Li Hanning panicked when he heard this: "No, no need." ”

Xiao Ce felt that her reaction was a little abnormal, but she couldn't say anything more when she remembered what happened in this room last night.

When the two phases were silent, Li Hanning hesitated for a while and asked first:

"People outside don't know that you're the Second Highness, do they?"

Xiao Ce nodded quietly and replied, "Except for you and the housekeeper, no one knows anymore." ”

Li Hanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the less people know about this matter, the better, Zhaoyue is naturally a person who can be trusted, and the housekeeper is also his own person who grew up watching Xiao Ce, and her safety is really nothing compared to Xiao Ce in front of her.

Li Hanning suddenly remembered the wine that the crown princess personally poured at the banquet yesterday, yesterday in front of everyone, they still dared to make a fuss about that glass of wine, if the prince knew about Xiao Ce's return, I am afraid it would be a little troublesome.

Xiao Ce looked at her worried look, and immediately made up his mind: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, you have a good rest these days, I heard Zhaoyue say this morning, my father has allowed you to leave Luoyang and go south to Tianwei City in three days." ”

As long as they leave Luoyang, as long as they return to the place that belongs to their Tianwei City military camp, they no longer have to be on guard all day long as they are in this place.

Xiao Ce looked at Li Hanning in front of him and said seriously: "It's not good for me this time, I didn't expect that my eldest brother would use such a subordinate means to deal with you."

Speaking of what happened last night, Xiao Ce was still a little scared in his heart, if he hadn't returned to Luoyang disguised as a guard, if he hadn't sent a letter to Zhaoyue, if Li Hanning, who was in Luoyang, had really drunk that glass of wine, with her character, if she knew what was going on-

"But they miscalculated." Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce in front of him, Xiao Sheng's idea at that time, Xiao Ce shouldn't blame himself, how could he have thought that Xiao Sheng would use such shameless means, he dared to take such a drug, nine times out of ten he thought that if Li Hanning really had something to do with someone in his mansion, he would become a pawn that threatened her in the future, and if she was also threatened to stay by Xiao Ce's side, it would probably leave a nail next to Xiao Ce that no one expected.

Li Hanning remembered that the night before, the housekeeper swore to look at Xiao Ce and tell her:

"This is the leader of the secret guard left in Luoyang by His Royal Highness King Ming, who was ordered by His Royal Highness King Ming to follow General Li, you can call him Wuzhao."

It's just why it's called that name all of a sudden.

Li Hanning hesitated for a while, but still said tentatively: "Then I still call you Wuzhao these days?" ”

Xiao Ce glanced sideways slightly: "Don't have that expression, Wuzhao is indeed my name, it's just that it was given by my mother when I was a child, and I rarely use it anymore when I grow up." ”

didn't expect it to be really his name, so he wasn't afraid that Xiao Sheng would hear it when she called his name.

Li Hanning was stunned: "What about your original leader of the secret guard?" ”

Xiao Ce said truthfully: "When I return to Luoyang this time, I need to borrow his identity to use it, he was sent by me to protect Zhaoyue, and he will not return to the house for a few days." ”

That's right.

Zhao Yue has just returned to Luoyang, and there has been too much limelight during this time, and a few capable people have been sent out to protect her, and Xiao Ce is naturally more at ease.

In the next few days, the relationship between Li Hanning and Xiao Ce was the same as before, as if nothing had happened, and the awkwardness and knots in her heart seemed to have gradually faded away.

In the past, when she was in Chang'an, she was the Deadpool of the Li Mansion, and there were dozens of people besides her at that time, but now she is the only one who has survived, and then she was transferred to Huai'an, at that time Li Zhao had married Wen Qing, and Li Hanning no longer had any other thoughts.

Over the years, a person has long been accustomed to it, if there is really a different intimate relationship, she feels uncomfortable and unaccustomed, after being alone for a long time, it is inevitable that she will forget how to get along with people alone, not to mention that person is still Xiao Ce, a person who has always looked down and not looked up since she has been in this period of time.

Three days after the day in Luoyang finally arrived, Li Hanning came in a carriage and left alone, but this time he still had Xiao Ce by his side.

It's just that they didn't notice that when they left the city gate, there were two people on the gate tower who were looking in the direction they were leaving.

One of them was Xiao Sheng, the crown prince of Luoyang City, followed by his adviser Xu Zhiyou.

"It seems that Xu Qing's idea has failed."

Xu Zhiyou said: "Is the world really willing to let her return to Tianwei City for nothing?" ”

"What if you are unwilling?"

Xu Zhiyou said: "As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes are over, he will pass by countless cities and countless places on the way back, if something happens along the way, it is no wonder that our Luoyang is more convenient for us to act, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Sheng snorted coldly, although he didn't know why he hated Li Hanning so much, he had to kill her several times, but she was Xiao Ce's person after all, so it didn't matter.

Xiao Sheng is just a pity for such a face and graceful posture, and he doesn't know who he was cheaper after being taken away by Zhaoyue that night.

Xiao Sheng turned around:

"You can arrange it, but this time it's done neatly, don't make any mistakes."

Along the way, in order to avoid identity exposure and some unnecessary troubles, Xiao Ce still wore a silver half-section mask.

After they went all the way out of Luoyang, they walked non-stop for half a day before arriving at the inn outside the city of Yueqi City, which is not controlled by the city, and it is also brightly lit at night to provide convenience for pedestrians.

Li Hanning and Xiao Ce entered the yard one after another, and Xiao Er tied their horses to the stump in the backyard quite realistically:

"Are the two guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

Li Hanning entered the inn, looked around for a while, and then dropped a silver ingot:

"It's not only sharp, but also a hotel, two upper rooms."

Xiao Er took the ingot of silver, his eyes lit up, but he still looked at Li Hanning in front of him with a hesitant expression:

"The girl knows everything, these two people have a lot of business dealings, my little shop has long been full, only one upper room is left, if the girl doesn't mind-"

Xiao Er's eyes fell to the side as he spoke, and Xiao Ce with a silver half-section mask behind Li Hanning:

"If the girl doesn't mind, or—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hanning understood what he meant.

Although Yueqi City is not far from here, it is getting late now, and the city gate over there has always been closed, even if you get there, I am afraid you will not be able to enter.

There is only one inn within a radius of ten miles tonight, and it is nothing to live in the same room, not to mention that even on the way here, Li Hanning felt that those people, since they left Luoyang City, they had vaguely followed them, originally Li Hanning wanted to solve it on the road, but those people seemed to follow unhurriedly and did not move, Li Hanning had to let them follow behind him all the way.

Li Hanning looked at Xiao Er and said, "It's okay." ”

Watching Xiao Er go to work, Li Hanning and Xiao Ce chose a position on the first floor by the window and sat down, although it was getting late at the moment, the first floor of this inn was still scattered, there were a few tables of people drinking and eating meat, or people dressed like businessmen.

Li Hanning looked at the humanity in front of him:

"It's a matter of time for His Highness and me to go back to Tianwei City all the way."

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "What's this, it's just that it may not be safe for us to stay here tonight." ”

The footsteps of those who had been following them all this time were getting closer and closer.

Li Hanning felt it, there were about a dozen people, the injury she suffered in the north last time was almost better, even if it was a fight, they could only lose.
