To Lin Xi's surprise, Lu Yan actually followed her.
With such skill, when she was fighting with someone just now, this person actually pretended to be a quail and hid aside.
Lu Yan was also more curious about what Lin Xi was doing before he was found.
Even if she is said to be a spy from another country, he is not curious now.
At night, the mountains and forests are dark and silent, making it unsuitable for further travel.
Lin Xi found a cave to rest temporarily.
To ensure safety, she and Lu Yan took turns keeping vigil.
"I'll sleep until half the night. You'll watch over me first, and then wake me up in the second half of the night." Lin Xi found some leaves and spread them on the ground.
Lu Yan: "Okay, it's a bit cold at night, so you can sleep on my lap."
Lin Xi didn't hesitate, walked over and lay on Lu Yan's lap.
You don't need to think about it to know that the other person's legs are much more comfortable than the ground.
It was a little cold in the forest at night, so they lit a fire.
Being heated by the warm fire, Lin Xi found a comfortable seat and closed his eyes.
Lu Yan looked at the person in his arms and sighed in his heart.
He shouldn't have left the capital, but he couldn't let go of this person.
When Lin Xi said that he didn't need to be buried with him.
But he couldn't accept it, and he didn't even want to imagine the possibility of never seeing her again.
When Lin Xi woke up, he found that it was already dark outside.
"Why don't you wake me up?"
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Lin Xi: "Are you sure? There's no point in showing off."
"I know it well, don't worry, I cherish my life. If I die, you will find a new husband when you go back."
Lin Xi: "That's not the case. I will definitely observe mourning for two years."
Lu Yan: "..."
That is, after observing filial piety for two years, continue to look for a new husband.
...it doesn’t seem to be unacceptable.
Lin Xi glanced at him, simply packed up and went on her way.
Three days later, the two people walked out of the dense forest. Came to a nearby town.
Not only did they travel quickly, they also took shortcuts and arrived in Cangzhou half a day earlier than the people transporting grain and grass.
In order not to alert others, they did not go to an inn to stay.
We only found a nearby farmhouse to rest.
They told their hosts that they were a couple who came from the south to join relatives.
I wanted to take a shortcut, but accidentally got sidetracked halfway, and finally found the official road again.
Only then was he covered in leaves and dirt, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Xi gave the host half a bunch of copper coins and asked her elder brother and sister-in-law to get some food and hot water for washing.
This family is a hard-working family. The men farm and the women do some needlework to make ends meet.
Seeing that this young couple spoke politely and looked nice, and they didn't look like bad people with ulterior motives, I felt good at them at first sight.
After Lin Xi took out the money, he even more diligently made arrangements.
I quickly prepared a few dishes, and because I received the money, I also killed a chicken.
The host has a little girl of six or seven years old. The chickens at home are usually used to lay eggs, so she is reluctant to eat them.
The little girl looked at the big bowl of chicken eagerly, probably because her elders had ordered her to do so.
He just came from a distance and didn't come forward.
Lu Yan saw that the little girl's eyes were very alert...
A bit like Lin Xi.
Lu Yan, who had never been interested in others, put a chicken drumstick in a bowl.
He raised his hand and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl blushed and looked at them timidly, without reaching out to take the bowl.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "We can't finish the meal just for the two of us. Brother and sister-in-law, you should sit down and eat too."
The host couple sat down with their children.
The woman smiled and said: "You two have such a good relationship, but they look very young. They probably don't have children yet."
Lin Xi: "No, we got married not long ago."
"Don't worry, maybe next year. You look good. If you have children of your own in the future, you may not know what they will look like."
The two men looked at each other.
Lin Xi then thought about it. She would have a baby next year, so it wouldn't be that soon.
Lu Yan's face tightened. It would be good if she and Lin Xi had a child.
After they finished eating, the hot water was almost ready.
The two of them didn't stay overnight. After eating, they tidied up their appearance and continued on their way.
—
Lin Xi could see the chaos in front of him from a distance.
Someone kept making a lot of noise.
She took out the token from the Duke's Mansion, revealed her identity, and then effortlessly pushed through the crowd and walked to the front smoothly.
Sure enough, just like the news they received, someone passing by Cangzhou took the opportunity to cause trouble.
There are a few assassins who are inciting the emotions of a group of people on the grounds that they are dissatisfied with military pay.
Lin Xi had met the officer who led the confrontation before at the Duke's Mansion.
It was one of his uncle's lieutenant generals who was responsible for escorting the military rations.
Lin Xi still wanted to see the situation, so Lu Yan said calmly: "Quickly kill a few of the troublemakers. If the soldiers mutiny, steal military pay, leave the city and become bandits, it will be difficult to deal with."
Lin Xi turned around and glanced at Lu Yan.
The little poisonous mushrooms are really poisonous to the eyes, they always hit the point.
Of course, the hand is also very cruel.
The sword was unsheathed, and before many people could react, the shouting ones fell to the ground one after another.
The author has something to say:

Chapter 68
◎Collaboration with the enemy and the country◎
It wasn't until the people on the ground spurted out blood that the onlookers reacted.
As soon as they came up, they killed the people who made the most noise, and the rest were shocked.
It was noisy just now, but now it suddenly stopped and became strangely quiet.
Blood dripped along the blade and onto the ground.
Lin Xi's sword has not yet been sheathed. She held the sword with one hand and said in a cold voice: "Those who caused trouble will be brought to justice, and others will be let go. Today's matter ends here. If you don't change your ways, you will be dealt with according to military law. I will take action and implement it immediately." ."
The leading general, Nie Panba, said in a loud voice: "She is the legitimate daughter of General Liang. She is nothing more than a tiger girl in the general family. Does anyone else want to try her sword?"
Lin Xi took out the token and asked sharply: "Who else is making trouble?"
Everyone looked at each other, only to see that the woman in front of them was quite tall, and her eyes seemed to be filled with ice, which was as cold as a cold that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Lin Xi had a change of thought and secretly said that it was still necessary to freshen up before coming.
People are judged by their clothes. Although her clothes are low-key, the fabrics have dark patterns.
Texue said it was low-key gorgeous.
If you are still as disgraced as when you walked out of the woods, it will be out of style.
"Could she be the lady from the Duke's mansion who frightened the people of Li country with a sword at the banquet a few days ago?"
"Tiger father has no dog daughter."
"...What a fast sword."
Several of the thorns who had made a big fuss were dead, and there was a lot of discussion, but no one dared to come forward anymore.
After all, several corpses were still lying on the ground bleeding.
Lin Xi smiled slightly: "It seems that you are still loyal to the country. Now the war is imminent. I kindly ask everyone to be united in dealing with the outside world. I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Dazhou."
After a pause, Lin Xi looked at Nie Pan: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, okay."
