Luo Jinyu looked at Shu Zhihan, who closed her eyes tightly because of shyness, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, so she gently raised one of her small hands and held it in her palm.

"Sleep."

Shu Zhihan listened to his gentle voice, and this gentleness just belonged to herself, and she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

She turned around, put her arms around Luo Jinyu's waist, and gradually fell asleep.

Late at night.

Luo Jinyu didn't feel a trace of drowsiness at all, he looked at Shu Zhihan, who was already asleep, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Then he gently lowered her hand and tiptoed out of bed.

It's just that as soon as he occupied the land with his feet, he felt that the clothes behind him were being pulled by someone.

He couldn't help but look back in surprise, only to see Shu Zhihan's eyes still closed, but one hand was holding him tightly.

Luo Jinyu looked at her like this, helpless and funny.

He turned around slightly, took Shu Zhihan's hand, and gently broke it open, but he didn't expect to see her open her eyes.

Shu Zhihan stared at him with a panicked expression, "Where are you going?" Do you want to say goodbye again?"

Seeing the nervousness revealed in her eyes, Luo Jinyu immediately felt that she was very bad, and it made her lose confidence in herself like this.

Luo Jinyu looked at her because she was worried that she was leaving, and felt very distressed in her heart.

He realized that he had a very important place in her heart, and he didn't seem to have done anything for her.

Until this moment, Luo Jinyu deeply felt her responsibility and inadequacy, and decided not to let her worry about herself anymore.

He sat back on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, smiled and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

But Shu Zhihan still clung to his clothes tightly and didn't let go.

"No, I don't, if you want to go out, I'll be with you."

"I'm really not leaving."

"No, I don't believe it."

Seeing her like a frightened little rabbit, Luo Jinyu felt distressed again.

He didn't think that such a Shu Zhihan was making trouble, so he stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Well, I promise you, I will never say goodbye easily in the future, no matter what happens, I will definitely tell you and face it with you.

I just want to go out and see if there's any news."

Shu Zhihan lowered her eyes slightly, and said with some guilt, "Do you think I'm too vexatious?"

"Of course not, I know you're worried about me, but not this time, I promised you."

"Really?"

Shu Zhihan had a little more affirmation in her heart, and then hurriedly raised her head to look at him.

Luo Jinyu gave her an affirmative nod.

It was only at this time that Shu Zhihan forced himself to slowly let go of the hand holding his clothes.

Luo Jinyu stood up and gently touched her head, "Be good, wait for me to come back."

"Hmm."

Shu Zhihan nodded, and then watched him leave.

Luo Jinyu opened the door and walked out, walking directly towards Meng Haowen's room.

Watching him leave like this, Shu Zhihan involuntarily got off the bed and hurriedly followed to the door, no longer remembering that he was still barefoot, and he didn't seem to feel the touch of the ground at all.

She was like a lookout stone, her hands lying on the door frame, her eyes staring at the direction Luo Jinyu left.

I don't know how long it was, but the night was already very deep, and the moonlight fell a layer of hazy light, and the whole courtyard was silent.

But Shu Zhihan was still barefoot, staring at the door with a blazing face.

Until there was a sound of footsteps, she hurriedly raised her head, and when she saw the comer, a big smile appeared on her face.

"Husband

You're back, you're back."

"How can you be barefoot?"

Luo Jinyu looked at her bare feet, frowned slightly, hurriedly walked to her side, hugged her, and then strode towards the room.

"I want to wait for you here."

"Stupid or not, I said I would be back soon, you are standing here like this, what if you catch the cold?"

"But ......"

Luo Jinyu hugged her on the bed, covered her feet with both hands, and found that it was already cold, and her heart was pinched together.

"What's the matter, did Meng Haowen say anything just now?"

A trace of sorrow flashed on Shu Zhihan's face, as if she couldn't wait for an answer.

"I want to tell you something."

"What's that?"

Hearing this, Shu Zhihan's heart was nervous for a while, and she was afraid that she would hear something she didn't want to hear.

"We must go back to Mingjing City, but there may be some dangers along the way."

"Huh?"

Shu Zhihan thought that she had heard it wrong, even if she was leaving, shouldn't she go back to the border city?

"According to the etiquette, we still need to resign to the emperor."

It turned out that this was the case, Shu Zhihan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly applauded in her heart, as long as she was with him, it would not be a problem to go anywhere.

"Well, when are we leaving?"

"I'm wondering if I'm going to take you to a safe place first, or ......."

"I'm going to be with you, I'm going to be."

Shu Zhihan's eyes widened, and she grabbed his arm tightly, not allowing him to refuse at all.

Luo Jinyu hugged her tightly into his arms and hurriedly comforted, "Okay, let's be together."

Hearing this, Shu Zhihan smiled, then looked up at him and asked, "Then when are we leaving?"

Luo Jinyu looked at the sky outside, and then said, "If you leave, you should set off before dawn, I have already discussed it with Meng Haowen just now, this is not to come to ask for your opinion."

"I don't have any opinions, so let's go now."

Seeing that she seemed to be a little impatient, Luo Jinyu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Shu Zhihan hurriedly went to clean up, and after a closer look, it seemed that there was nothing to clean up. ap.

After they were ready, they didn't say goodbye to everyone, and the two brothers Jinbao and Yinbao came to see them off.

Before leaving, Luo Jinyu explained a few words to them, and then got into the carriage with Shu Zhihan.

They hurried out of Huali Village at dawn.

The wheels were rolling, the carriage swayed slightly, and with the rhythm of the horses' hooves, it moved forward quickly, I don't know how long it had been, as if I saw a golden ray of sunlight shining through the curtain of the carriage.

Luo Jinyu's eyes looked through the window, staring into the distance, and he held Shu Zhihan's hand tightly.

Shu Zhihan leaned on his shoulder, her eyes closed, as if enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

The carriage passed through the woods, over the silent fields, over the winding mountains.

The scenery outside the window unfolds like a picture scroll, leaving a deep imprint in every place.

At this moment, Shu Zhihan showed a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she was not afraid of anything, no matter whether the good or bad was waiting for them in front of them, they were convinced that no matter how many challenges there were, they would face them hand in hand and tide over the difficulties together.

After a while, Meng Haowen came in and asked, "General, are we taking the official road or the small road in front of us?"

When Shu Zhihan heard this question, she couldn't help but think of the scene when they were hunted down and killed earlier, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Maybe Luo Jinyu felt her nervousness, so she said, "Let's take the path."

"Yes, General."

Meng Haowen retracted his head

After going, they said to Meng Haowu, and they walked in the direction of the path.

After listening to their decision, Shu Zhihan's face showed a blank expression, and he didn't understand what it meant.

Logically speaking, isn't it true that official roads should be safer?

Luo Jinyu seemed to see her doubts, and asked with a slight smile, "Think it's strange?"

"Well, if something happens, shouldn't it all happen on the path?"

Shu Zhihan's face was full of doubt, and she looked at him with blinking eyes.

"The path, though narrow and winding, is much safer than the official road."

Hearing these words coming out of Luo Jinyu's mouth, it made people feel even more puzzled, but I don't know why, Shu Zhihan instantly believed it.

"Official roads are the main thoroughfares for large armies, armies, horse-drawn carriages and armoured vehicles, etc., so they are usually subject to more damage and wear and tear.

In contrast, the trail is in better condition due to the fact that it is less walked, with few obstacles such as potholes and stones.

In addition, the trail also has no obvious targets like official roads, providing a more concealed route to avoid being attacked by those who have the heart to do so.

In conclusion, although the trail may be more winding and narrow than the official road, in some cases it may be safer to take the trail."

Shu Zhihan nodded as if she didn't understand, but immediately shook her head and asked, "Those bandits will come out to rob on the path."

"Those little thieves are not enough to worry about, let me tell you, this kind of thing is planned, but once it appears on the official road, it will not be as simple as mountain bandits."

Luo Jinyu said thoughtfully, as if he already knew what kind of accident would happen.

Shu Zhihan looked at the look on his face, as if she understood his thoughts, and leaned on his shoulder.

"General, there seems to be some situation ahead, let's stop here for a while, and Haowu will go to the front to explore first."

Meng Haowen turned his head and said to them, and then stopped the carriage aside.

Shu Zhihan was slightly nervous when she heard this, and grabbed Luo Jinyu's hand tighter.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Luo Jinyu patted her hand gently, and then looked at Meng Haowen, "Then take a break here."

He looked at Shu Zhihan and said, "You just sit in the car, I'll go down and take a look."

This time, Shu Zhihan didn't hold him, but nodded, and then let go of his hands and let him go.
