Forget it, the official family is all the way anyway. He shut his mouth and decided to make a fortune in silence.

Yan Saburo rode his horse and galloped, following the mark left by He Xiaokite along the way to ensure that he did not find the wrong direction.

Not long after running out like this, Chitose suddenly said, "Someone is chasing after you." Well, there are a few hundred zhang at most. ”

Yan Saburo didn't look back: "Is that surnamed Pu?"

"Not really. "Chitose's ears and eyes are far more sensitive than him," there are only three riders who come, and the surname Pu seems to be hugging him from front to back. But they're good horses, at least faster than the one you're riding. ”

Otherwise, how can we catch him?" Yan Saburo frowned: "Could it be that we are too unlucky, and we were really caught by the patrol?"

The horses of the inn belonged to the royal court, and it was a felony for him to rob them.

Besides, the security at the feet of the Son of Heaven is better, and there are always night patrols. Nowadays, there are three major events in the patriotic capital, and it is common sense for Shengyi and the surrounding areas to strengthen vigilance.

"Can the Patrol ride such a good horse?" Chitose scoffed.

"......," she said, and it made sense. The horses at the post station were raised for the delivery of messages, which were carefully selected, and were often used to run urgent papers, and endurance and speed were indispensable. Yan Saburo was very satisfied with this horse, not much worse than the good horse that the nobles of Chunming City bought with a lot of money.

But the people behind were able to catch up, and they were about to catch up with him, which showed that the horse was not only a star and a half faster than him.

Chitose is right, which patrol can the official match this kind of Maxima?

"How far is it?" Yan Saburo took a deep breath, Zhenli moved his whole body, and he was ready to meet the enemy. The other party is afraid that it will not be easy to get along, and the most important thing is that if he consumes too much time here, the slightest advantage will be gone, and Lord Park is afraid that he will catch up with the eldest lady of the Liao family one step ahead of him.

"There's still sixty feet. Chitose suddenly sighed, "It's still an old acquaintance." ”

"Acquaintances?" How could there be his acquaintances in such a place?

"I only said it was an acquaintance, but I didn't say it was a friend. Chitose told him, "Be careful, don't get into trouble with him." ”

......

Liao Hongxun was riding on horseback, dizzy and dizzy, and his stomach turned over several times.

She had ridden horses before, but only as a tame mare, and had been trained to serve ladies. The so-called horseback riding, for her, is at most just a girlhood to the countryside, light and stable.

It's never as wild as it is right now.

Du Heng turned his head several times, seeing that her face turned from red to blue, and then from blue to white, he thought that she must be uncomfortable. But Miss Liao has always been arrogant in her bones, and she will not cry bitterness if she clenches her teeth. At present, the three of them are in a critical situation, and there is indeed no time to stop to rest. So Du Heng pursed his lips, and after all, he didn't let the little young master slow down.

No matter how much Liao Honghyun insisted, he began to falter after half an hour - his legs were numb as if he was not his own, and he could no longer clamp the horse's belly. The boy was afraid that she would fall, so he held her up hard in the back.

In this way, he also struggled. Fortunately, Du Heng finally said loudly: "Stop the horse, we have arrived!"

Liao Honghyun couldn't help but feel refreshed when he heard these two words, and the little young master was also so tired that he was panting, and when he got off the horse, his legs were weak, and he almost squatted on the ground.

The two horsemen had already left the official road and slipped into the path. Although the official road is easy to walk, there are often patrols who walk at night, and their appearance is suspicious, and once they are interrogated, it will be a big trouble.

The trail is inconvenient to walk, there are many potholes on the ground, and there are often large rocks blocking the road, so it is easy for night walkers to stumble. However, Du Heng seemed to be very familiar with this neighborhood, and under his reminder, the little young master actually arrived at his destination without danger.

"Where is this?" The three of them passed by two villages and towns, and they did not stay overnight, but now they stopped in front of a dense forest.

At a glance, there are lights like stars in the forest. Sparse, but reassuring.

"Come with me. Du Heng led the horse around a bamboo forest, and there was a gateway ahead. The black lacquered gate is a foot tall and looks thick and tight.

He walked into the cloister in front of the door from the woods, and reached out to extinguish the lantern on his right. "Quick, put out all the lanterns. Remember to destroy only those on the right side. ”

A pair of lanterns were hung every other zhang under the eaves, and the three of them only extinguished the one on the right.

Soon, there was only a whole row of left lights glowing in the darkness.

After the young man pressed the last one, Du Heng stepped forward and knocked on the door, two long and one short.

"Squeak", the door opened a crack, and an old woman peeked inside at the three people outside. "Looking for whom?"

"My surname is Du. ”

Du Heng's answer was not the horse's mouth, but the mother-in-law opened the door in the next second: "Come in." ”

Du Heng and the three of them led the horses to the edge of the bamboo and tied them, and then they crossed the gate.

The door is very high, the wall is also very high, and the inside is big and empty, but Liao Honghyun comes from a big family, and he can see at a glance that everything in this house is not cheap.

There was a lamp in the hall, and an old lady sat under the lamp.

She was older than the doorkeeper, with silver hair and drooping eyelids, apparently just awakened from a good dream.

This old man goes to bed early.

Her eyes turned on the three of them, especially after catching a glimpse of the little young master, her face was shocked: "This, this is ......"

As he spoke, he grabbed the crutches hard and trembled to stand up.

Du Heng stepped forward and held her shoulders gently: "You sit, this is an extraordinary time now." ”

In extraordinary times, there is no need to be formal.

Then he turned to Liao Hongyun and said, "This is Mrs. Sun." ”

Liao Honghyun waited for his further explanation.

She received the news of the wreck of the Liao family a few days ago, and the reason why she has not been evacuated is because checkpoints have been set up on the roads in and out of Shengyi and the surrounding areas, and the Liao family is strictly investigated. In this case, it is better for her to stay still, not to mention that Shengyi is a place where fireworks are abundant (wind), and celebrities who have not shown up for a few months will be forgotten, she has lived in Hexiang Town for ten years, who can remember that there is such a big lady in the Liao family.

The most important thing is that her "family of three" has lived in Hexiang Town for many years, while the little prince of Weiguo had an accident two years ago, and the two sides are not on the same page at all. As long as she lives in Hexiang Town, no one can connect her son with the little prince.

But now that the situation has changed, King Wei has already remembered her as a person, and Hexiang Town is no longer safe. When there was such a rumor, she was also curious, who would dare to cover her?

Du Heng hesitated slightly before continuing: "Old Madam Sun is the mother of Tu Qingzhong, the great secretary of the dynasty. By the way, after Liao Xiang's accident, King Wei promoted Tu Sidian as Tu Prime Minister. ”

Liao Honghyun immediately changed color, pulled the young man behind him, and said vigilantly: "What!"

The chief priest was imprisoned, and the Liao family was tried under Tu Qingzhong, and he didn't know how much suffering he suffered and how much blood he shed. When Liao Honghyun heard this name, her first reaction was that she had entered the wolf's den!
