late at night
No moon, few stars
There is a peach grove fifty miles east of Yunzhong City. It is already summer, and all the flowers in the peach grove have already fallen. Even the fruits have been picked and there are not many left. The forest guard who originally lived in the peach grove every night has also stopped spending long nights in the peach grove, which gave Nan Liluo and the others a chance.
Only a hundred steps into the peach forest, there is a wooden house, which should be the house where the forest guard lives daily. The house is very clean, the bedding is folded neatly, but there is a thin layer of dust on the table.
The house looked like it had been unoccupied for at least three days.
There are still sparse peaches in the forest, and the forest guard may come back at any time, but at this time, this place should be the best choice for Nan Liluo and the others.
The people who were chasing them that day didn't seem to have any intention of killing them all. When it was dawn, they suddenly gave up the pursuit and turned around and returned, finally giving them a chance to breathe.
Twenty miles away from Taolin, there was a small town, but they did not dare to risk going there. After thinking for a long time, they finally asked Si Miao and Feng Fanxiao to go to the small town and buy back some changes of clothes and necessities. of medicines.
After changing out of his wedding clothes, he finally became less conspicuous.
On the day of the wedding, she did not carry a long whip with her, leaving Qingyang without a weapon in the melee. In order to protect Si Miao, who did not know any martial arts, she also suffered a lot of stab wounds, but fortunately they were all There were some flesh wounds, but in the end she felt bad for her newly married husband.
When treating the knife wound on her arm, Qingyang frowned tightly but remained silent. Nan Liluo tried his best to put his hand as gently as possible, for fear that he would hurt her unaware of the seriousness, while Si Miao The one beside him had already cried out in distress.
"Sister Qingyang, I'm sorry. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been hurt."
"Silly girl, you...ah..." Qingyang wanted to open his mouth to comfort the little girl who had been squatting beside her and crying. As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his breath suddenly disappeared, and the wound was The stinging pain hit her immediately and she couldn't help but exhale.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Nan Liluo panicked for a moment, and immediately moved his hand away, "Did I hurt you?"
Qingyang shook his head: "It's okay, you continue."
After applying the powder on the wound and taking out a strip of cloth to bandage her arm firmly, Nan Liluo let out a long sigh and fell to the ground. Only then did he realize that there was a scar on his forehead. , there were fine beads of sweat.
Seeing that Qingyang was bandaged, Si Miao immediately threw herself on her knees and hugged her.
Qingyang stretched out his uninjured hand and rubbed her head, and said with relief: "It's just a minor injury. Look how good we are all fine now."
Sometimes when looking at Si Miao, Qingyang can't help but think of Yiyi from Yaowang Valley. They haven't seen each other for so many years. I'm afraid that little girl should be as big as Si Miao. Their two characters are so imagined. , I think Yiyi should also be such an eccentric person.
There was a knock on the door.
Three short and one long.
Nan Liluo stood up immediately. Feng Fanxiao was back and he quickly opened the door.
A gust of breeze followed Feng Fanxiao into the house.
"There are no traces of pursuers everywhere. I think they have no intention of continuing to pursue us." Feng Fanxiao put down the sword in his hand, sat at the wooden table and took a breath. I think he traveled a lot on this day. .
"Then it seems that their targets are still the city lord and Wen Jirou." Although Nan Liluo breathed a sigh of relief that no one was chasing them, it also meant that the target of the night attack that night was already very clear, which was Their city lord.
If their goal is to get dirty, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the girl to be with them?
Qingyang's heart suddenly picked up, and her nervousness caused another burst of pain from the wound she had just bandaged.
Nan Liluo stood beside her, just holding her hand tightly. He knew in his heart that Qingyang was just as worried about Gu Jianghe as they were about Ranchen, so the solution to getting along at this time was the most important.
"Now it seems that we have to find a way to find the city lord quickly. He is now powerless. If the officers and soldiers are together with the master in black that night, I am afraid that they will be in danger."
Nan Liluo nodded and agreed with Feng Fanxiao's statement. He thought for a while and said: "When we separated last night, we went in two directions. If I am not wrong, then the place they are most likely to go to is Fufeng." County, in this case, we will go to Fufeng County in disguise tomorrow."
"I'll go with you."
When Qingyang heard that he was going to find Ranchen, he quickly spoke out.
"No," Nan Liluo immediately refused, "You are injured and must have a good rest, not to mention Si Miao." He glanced at the girl who was still leaning quietly on Qingyang's knees.
Feng Fanxiao looked at Si Miao who was leaning on Qingyang's knees, and there was a hint of heartache in his eyes. She was originally a carefree girl on the border, but she traveled thousands of miles without hesitation because of him. When he finally made up his mind to take good care of her, he put such a person who had never encountered a dangerous battle in the world in danger.
"Qingyang, Si Miao doesn't know martial arts. It's too dangerous to take her there. Can you please take good care of her so that we can go to the city lord with peace of mind."
Feng Fanxiao seemed to have been thinking for a long time before finally speaking to Qingyang.
Her eyes fell on the girl lying on her knees again, her eyes full of pity, yes, what should she do?
Qingyang squeezed Nan Liluo's hand and looked into his eyes: "You must protect the girl for me, okay?"
Nan Liluo put his arms around her shoulders, let her lean into his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will do it."
At this time, Si Miao, who was lying between Qingyang's knees, also raised her head and looked at Feng Fanxiao with red eyes without saying a word.
In fact, what she has encountered in the past two days is something she has never encountered in her life. She has always warned herself to be calm and calm. Even when she left home, her father warned her. These things are obvious at first glance. If people in the Jianghu insist on following the Jianghu people, they may have to live in the shadow of swords and swords in the days to come. At that time, she was sure to tell her father that she was ready for everything, but when this day came, she Still scared.
Feng Fanxiao sighed lightly, stood up and pulled her up.
Si Miao fell into a warm and generous embrace, and the fear and fear she had been feeling for days was finally released. She finally couldn't help crying in Feng Fanxiao's arms.
"I'm sorry." Feng Fanxiao thought of many words to comfort her, but in the end he only said one sentence of apology.
The girl in his arms just shook her head, but still hugged him tightly.
Qingyang chuckled lightly and said to Feng Fanxiao: "This girl is probably just a little scared. Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Please be careful tomorrow."
Si Miao raised her head from Feng Fanxiao's arms and said softly: "I will stay here with Sister Qingyang well, you have to be careful tomorrow."
Feng Fanxiao nodded affirmatively.
The lamp wick on the table was dim and dizzy.
No one knows what will happen next.
But there was a group of men in black riding fast horses, heading towards Yunzhong City.
