"Coo-goo, goo-goo. Ye Ningxiang half-covered her mouth, squatting in the corner cautiously learning to call birds, and looking around from time to time, for fear of being discovered by Gong E in Mo Xiaoqin's palace.

After half a quarter of an hour, Mo Xiaoqin put on a big black cloak and a cloth bag in his hand, tiptoed out of the room step by step, and came to the place where Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun were hiding.

"Sister Ning Xiang, this is the palace maid and eunuch clothes I prepared earlier, you can change them, it will be safer. ”

Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun took a look at the clothes in Mo Xiaoqin's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put the clothes on their bodies in three times and five by two.

With this garment, the three of them will be able to walk in the palace openly, and there will be no more danger until they leave the palace gate.

At the beginning of the ugly time, the guards guarding the palace gate were already so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting and even delirious, and they leaned against the wooden fence one after another, drooping their heads and not knowing whether to sleep or wake up.

Suddenly, they heard a burst of unhurried footsteps around them, and these confused guards instantly became excited, picked up their sabers and looked at Ye Ningxiang and the others vigilantly.

Because they came out of the palace, these guards didn't dare to be presumptuous, half-bent over, and asked tentatively: "Yes, which palace is it, can you have a token when you leave the palace so late?"

Fortunately, Ye Ningxiang prepared a hand before she came, and asked a carver to make a fake token, which came in handy at this time.

"Yes, yes. Ye Ningxiang responded, and then took out a delicately crafted brown wooden sign from her arms.

The leading guard took the wooden card, a flash of doubt on his face, but he carefully studied the token for a long time, and then handed it to others for inspection. After several probes, the guards looked fierce, and they all held their scabbards and prepared to draw their swords at them.

However, before the knife could be drawn, they only felt a tingling in their necks, and then they were dizzy and unconscious, and passed out to the ground.

Wei Xun looked at Ye Ningxiang with a smile, quite a bit of showing off, "Look, your fake token doesn't work, such a simple and crude method as doing it directly is the most practical." ”

Ye Ningxiang pouted, as if she was a little unwilling, and pulled Mo Xiaoqin towards the palace gate.

This heavy palace wall not only imprisons the scenery, but also the air is firmly imprisoned, walking on the streets of Jing'an City wantonly, and the air drifting with the summer evening breeze seems to carry the sweetness that never exists in the palace.

Mo Xiaoqin, who had been in a dull and melancholy for a long time and couldn't extricate herself, stretched her limbs unconsciously at this time, and gulped down the lightest but most precious fresh breath in the world.

"It's been a long time since I've been outside. ”

The corners of Mo Xiaoqin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a long-lost smile.

Da Da Da, Da, there was a very rhythmic sound of horses' hooves not far from them, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the figure of a carriage gradually appeared in the hazy night.

The carriage slowed down, and then stopped in front of them, Ye Ningxiang looked fixedly, the person driving was Mu Xize's henchman Gu Liancheng.

Ye Ningxiang just wanted to answer with Gu Liancheng, but saw that the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted a slit, Mu Xize's head was poking out from the slit, and the moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, he showed his trademark smirk again.

"Lady. ”

After speaking, he simply jumped out of the carriage and hugged Ye Ningxiang in his arms, and he didn't let go.

"Okay, okay, Xi Ze, don't make trouble, if you don't let go, I won't take you to Shuozhou to play!"

Hearing Ye Ningxiang say this, Mu Xize hurriedly let go of his arm, looked at Ye Ningxiang pitifully, and said with difficulty: "Okay, no...... Trouble. ”

Seeing that the master who used to be strategizing and talented has become what he is now, Gu Liancheng's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at Ye Ningxiang coldly, without any superfluous nonsense, and only said: "Get in the car." ”

It is reasonable for Gu Liancheng to have such a reaction, even if Gu Liancheng angrily slashes her with a big knife at this moment, she will never dodge. It's just that how did Gu Liancheng know that they would leave Jing'an today, and he drove the carriage to pick them up at such an appropriate time?

Soon, Wei Xun gave Ye Ningxiang the answer she wanted.

"Yesterday, I asked Mingyue Pavilion about Zheng Quan's whereabouts in more detail, and I just happened to meet Boss Gu who had just returned to Jing'an from Ruiguo, and Boss Gu was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Ning, so he came here to protect His Highness. ”

"These people are taken care of by me, and Lord Wei can leave with peace of mind. In the next two months, leaving the country will certainly be turbulent, and I hope that Lord Wei will do his best to stabilize the situation in Jing'an and relieve our worries. ”

"Boss Gu rest assured, I will do my best to protect you. ”

Wei Xun saluted Gu Liancheng respectfully, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait. ”

Ye Ningxiang caught up with him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Wei, let's take a step to speak." ”

Deliberately pulling Wei Xun away from these people, Ye Ningxiang asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei, don't you want to recognize Sister Xiaoqin?"

In the past, Ye Ningxiang didn't think so, but calling her former little cousin her sister in such a situation made Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Wei Xun smiled and looked at Mo Xiaoqin standing next to the carriage, his eyes full of love.

"Now it's so good, just to see her safe, it's enough. ”

Wei Xun turned around and left, although his face was joyful, but Ye Ningxiang's heart unconsciously rose a sentimentality. Looking at the brother and sister who had been separated by fate for many years, Ye Ningxiang sighed lightly and followed Mu Xize and Mo Xiaoqin into the carriage.

Wei Xun has always been rigorous and meticulous in his work, and he does not leak. Although it was only hastily prepared, the seemingly thin carriage was still full of clothing, silver taels, and even dry food that was not easy to perish.

Mu Xize was lying on Ye Ningxiang's lap as always, looking at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and gradually fell asleep. Under the infection of Mu Xize, Ye Ningxiang and Mo Xiaoqin, who had been tossing for most of the night, also fell asleep. Only Gu Liancheng kept a clear head at all times, and controlled the carriage quickly and steadily as it galloped through the empty streets.

On the second day, the news of Mo Xiaoqin's disappearance spread to all the towns around Jing'an, because the small towns that are not guarded by any guards on weekdays now have dozens of officers and soldiers standing in front of the city gate, looking fierce and vicious, which makes people feel terrified.

In the face of these guards, Gu Liancheng was calm and relaxed, and took out a plaque from his arms that was the same as the bronze medal that Mu Xize gave to Ye Ningxiang in the past, which was also engraved with the word "Bright Moon".

These guards seemed to have been specially trained before, and when they saw this token, not only did they not embarrass them, but they even omitted the normal road inspection and let them go directly.

"Boss Gu, it seems that your Fuheng Chamber of Commerce has spent a lot of money on this trip to Shuozhou!" Ye Ningxiang smiled, but there was not much respect in her words.

Anyway, Gu Liancheng has never had a bad impression of Ye Ningxiang, and Ye Ningxiang has never given Gu Liancheng a good look. So although Ye Ningxiang admired Shadow Guard's ability to do things in her heart, she was still embarrassed to put down her body to express her admiration for Gu Liancheng.

Gu Liancheng snorted coldly and said, "What Miss Ning Xiang wants to find out, I, Gu Liancheng, also want to find out." I also want to see who this person who has made Childe carry the black pot for seven years is. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Liancheng's face was already full of anger, and he directly turned around and stood in front of Ye Ningxiang less than ten inches away, and said: "You are self-righteous, you poisoned the person who loves you the most, and you also personally ruined the truth of Su Zhiwu's case. If you can always believe in Gongzi, now you don't have to risk your life to go into Shuozhou to find Zheng Quan, who is not sure whether you can find it or not. ”

Ye Ningxiang was stunned when she heard this, and seemed to be puzzled by Gu Liancheng's words.

"You, what are you talking about? Xi Ze knows the real murderer of the Su family?"

Does he know? He knows everything well, and bears all the blame alone, not only because he failed to save Su Huang in her previous life, but also to protect the real culprit. Or, he didn't want Ye Ningxiang to be able to find out who really murdered the Su family.

However, all this became unknown after Mu Xize was poisoned and stupid, no one knew Mu Xize's purpose, no one knew who Mu Xize wanted to protect, and no one knew whether he never wanted Ye Ningxiang to find the ultimate murderer.

"Yes. ”

It's a short word, but it always contains countless meanings and countless emotions. At this time, Ye Ningxiang heard Gu Liancheng's concise words, her heart tingled, her hands were cold, and something indescribable surged outward from her chest, so oppressed that she almost couldn't breathe, and she couldn't close her eyes so that the tears would not fall.

It turned out that he really knew everything and really controlled everything, but now this truth has been buried by Ye Ningxiang himself, and he has not seen the light of day.

The days of eating and sleeping in the open always pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Ningxiang and the others have been galloping on the road for ten days, and now they have entered the realm of Duanwang.

Although the past ten days have been hard and difficult, seeing different people and being in different environments every day has made Mo Xiaoqin's scarred heart gradually recover, and her injured hand has also accelerated its healing because of the special medicine brought by Gu Liancheng.

Seeing that Mo Xiaoqin, who was most at ease, was gradually developing towards the good side, Ye Ningxiang's long-term depression also dissipated a lot.

Ye Ningxiang went to Linzhou before, and the suburbs were desolate and desolate, but now when she went to Shuozhou, the suburbs were still lonely and desolate, if the place she passed through had just been shortly after the fierce battle, the air would be contaminated with a strong smell of blood, which made people can't help but vomit.

Looking at the corpse of a soldier who had long been glued to the earth outside the car window and was unrecognizable, Ye Ningxiang felt a faint pain in her heart, and even regretted that she didn't kill this damn Duan Wang with a knife.

"Lady, lady, scared, afraid!"

Mu Xize opened his big watery eyes, seemed to look at Ye Ningxiang with some fear, hugged Ye Ningxiang's arm tightly, and kept repeating the same words.

This scene was like a miserable scene like Shura's hell, even Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but feel fear when she saw it, not to mention Mu Xize, who had lost his mind and was as timid as a mouse. However, Ye Ningxiang also knew that Mu Xize's reaction was all because she was by his side, wanting to rely on her and wanting her to protect him.

Ye Ningxiang touched Mu Xize's head dotingly, closed the window of the carriage tighter, and said comfortingly: "Xi Ze is not afraid, Xi Ze is a man, a big hero, and he will never be afraid of these things." ”

Hearing these words that seemed to be compliments, Mu Xize straightened up, smiled and nodded vigorously at Ye Ningxiang.

Suddenly, Gu Liancheng accelerated without warning, and the inside of the carriage was also bumpy and bumpy. Ye Ningxiang hugged Mu Xize while pulling Mo Xiaoqin, and asked a little nervously, "Boss Gu, what's going on outside?"

"There are rebels, we are being targeted. ”
