After the county lord empathizes with the farewell verse 64
"The crown princess said that she wanted to eat the pomegranate you picked for her, and she wanted to go...... Look at the pomegranate tree on the cliff. ”
Wei Jingji never expected such an answer.
Stunned in place, I instantly chilled.
The hand holding the sword trembled faintly.
Uncontrollable self-blame and panic poured in, and he couldn't breathe.
The rain fell down in a row, falling on people's bodies like appendages, cold to the bones, burrowing from the limbs and hundreds of bones into the internal organs.
The trail is slippery, and if you're not careful, you'll fall.
The pomegranate tree, however, grew on a cliff that was extremely dangerous.
Wei Jingji hardly dared to think about what was happening, and walked all the way up with a white face, and the people who usually did not move the eight winds actually fell several times when they walked this short mountain road.
His clothes were torn by thorns, and he didn't notice the blood coming out of his wounds.
At the top of the mountain, the pomegranate tree appeared alone in front of him.
Wei Jingji also stood there gracefully, letting the rain fall on him on his head.
The robe was soaked in rainwater, and every step forward was heavy.
His eyes were red, and he moved his lips with difficulty.
"Ahh
As soon as he spoke, his voice trembled.
No one responded to him.
The wind from the top of the mountain cuts like a knife in a person's face.
Wei Jing wanted to get closer, but he staggered and lost his strength, half-kneeling on the edge of the cliff, his bloodshot eyes full of despair.
Fragments of stone fell in a flurry and sank into the bottomless abyss.
He trembled and saw the hairpin she had pinned to her when she kissed him that day.
The blood on his face was gone.
Wei Jingji seemed to be in the cold winter wax moon, buried in the snow, his body trembled uncontrollably and violently, he couldn't say a word, and his breathing was painful.
His eyes were filled with warm liquid, completely blurring his vision.
Big tears fell on the edge of the cliff.
He frantically recalled the body temperature when Su Yao hugged him when he left, trying to absorb some warmth, but his body was still cold, as if someone had dug out his heart alive and tasted the pain of blood.
It's that he's not good.
It's him.
She must have been terrified.
Would she have thought of his name over and over again?
I hope he will show up to save her.
Wei Jingji's eyes were dark and dead, and the silence made people feel endless pathos.
I don't know how long.
He staggered to his feet and took a step forward.
His expression gradually became calmer.
Liang Yuancai finished transferring the affairs of the palace and hurried over, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the rain was even more muddy.
When he arrived at the peak, he struggled to clear the weeds, and was about to open his mouth to find someone, but he happened to bump into this scene.
For a moment, my eyes were tearing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"
……
In the warm carriage, Su Yao slowly opened his eyes.
For some reason, her heart suddenly felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and a fine and dense pain spread along her heart.
Duan Rin sat across from her, looked at the girl in sackcloth, and asked, "What's wrong?" But the carriage was bumpy? ”
Su Yao's eyelids jumped twice after that.
She clenched her hands, her heart feeling uneasy, as if something ominous was about to happen.
After they left the back mountain, they took a carriage all the way to the city gate.
The rain was getting heavier, but fortunately I was able to leave the capital soon.
The carriage slowly stopped, and at this moment, there were still many people lined up in front of the procession out of the city, and they had to wait for half an hour.
Facing Duan Rin's concern, Su Yao shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that for some reason, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart." ”
Her face, hands, and neck were covered with soy flour to hide her complexion.
Duan Rin comforted her and said, "Don't worry too much, let's sleep for a while." ”
After he finished speaking, Su Yao lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, the street was silent and strange, except for the sound of rain washing over the bluestone pavement.
She couldn't help but talk to Duan Rin to ease the feeling.
"When we get out of town, will we be safe?"
Duan Rin was silent for a moment and said, "Now is an eventful time, if you want to be completely safe, you can get the Gyeonggi boundary and pass the Cangzhou Monument, and you can take a rest." ”
Cangzhou is close to the capital and has a vast area, and if you enter the territory of Cangzhou, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I can only send you to the Cangzhou Monument, but don't worry, the people I have arranged to pick you up along the way are all credible people, and you can go straight to Wuzhou by following the map I gave you and looking for people in one place."
"When you arrive in Wuzhou, you must remember to tell me, and in the future, you must not cut off contact with me, okay?"
Ru An is now in Wuzhou, and Su Yao has never mentioned to Duan Rin that she is still alive.
Hearing this, she nodded, "Second cousin, don't worry, I will."
After speaking, Su Yao sat quietly in the carriage and waited.
No matter how heavy the rain was outside.
It's going to stop.
Chapter 53
Before the curfew, the carriage carrying Su Yao and Duan Rin went out of the city gate.
Outside the city gate, the rain stopped for a while, and the red lantern-like persimmons drooped their branches, dripping with water, and the rain trails on the treasure cover of the carriage gradually dried up, and the wheels swaddled for miles.
Duan Rin said: "Wuzhou is far away, do you still plan to return to the capital in the future?" ”
This road leads directly to Cangzhou, runs through the north and south, and connects several ferries outside, and the merchants use this road to and fro, and it is also the closest road to Beijing.
Su Yao thought for a moment .
"Not back."
Duan Rin paused for a moment and said, "Can you give it up?" ”
"Second cousin laughed, if I can't give up, how can I choose this path?" She said, "Just let me really fall off the cliff." ”
The carriage began to climb the hill and gradually slowed down.
The carriage was quiet for a while before Duan Rin's voice sounded, "It's okay if you can think like this, I have already prepared the identity document for you, as long as you don't come back, there will be no Yongjia County Lord in this world." ”
Su Yao glanced at the brown burden and nodded slowly.
……
Cangzhou was still some distance from the capital, and the carriage drove day and night for two days, and finally traveled most of the way.
One day, you can see the Cangzhou monument and enter Cangzhou.
Duan Rin looked at the capital city that was getting farther and farther away, and the nerves that had been tense relaxed a little, and said to Su Yao: "There is an inn not far ahead, why don't we rest there for a while?" You have a good night's sleep, let the horses rest and rest, eat some grass, and get on the road tomorrow, when I will send you to Cangzhou to board the ferry, and you will be able to reach Wuzhou in seven days. ”
Su Yao was a little tired after two days in the carriage, and he smiled when he heard this.
"Okay."
Duan Rin asked the carriage to stop at the Yunlai Inn in front of him.
This inn is not big, but although the sparrows are small, there are several rows of wine behind the shopkeeper, and they are fiddling with the abacus.
Hearing someone coming, the shopkeeper turned out of the desk, rubbed his hands and looked at the two people who came out of the carriage.
The first thing I saw was a woman.
I was stunned for a few seconds.
The woman was wearing a coarse linen dress with a few patches, and the headscarf on her head almost covered most of her face, but she could still see that her figure was excellent, and when she turned her face, although her complexion was sallow, her eyebrows and eyes had a natural charm.
He was well-informed, and at a glance he knew that most of them were beautiful brides who were married.
Just as he was secretly sighing that this husband was very happy, the man who got out of the carriage with the woman stood in front of him.
The man was born with a talent, handsome and elegant, but he also wore coarse cloth clothes.
Presumably, this is the woman's husband.
The shopkeeper immediately clenched his fists and said with a smile: "This Lang Jun is not surprised, I have never seen such a beauty as your lady, I can't help but look at it a few more times, and I hope to forgive me." ”
Duan Rin's face was unhappy and looked at Su Yao.
Su Yao showed that he didn't care, "It's better to rest early, didn't you say that there is only this inn around here?" ”
During the private conversation between the two, the shopkeeper had already tacitly acquiesced that the two of them were husband and wife, and said politely: "The two of you are going to live in the hotel, right?" Come in, I'll let Xiao Er take your horses to rest. ”
After Su Yao and Duan Rin entered the inn, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "The two of you came here can be regarded as a coincidence, many people have been running here recently, the room is full every day, there is just one today, and the two of you happen to be husband and wife, it is really related to the small shop." ”
Duan Rin took Su Yao a little farther away, and asked thoughtfully, "There is only one room, do you mind?" ”
