"By the way, girl, why are you here?"

Yun Molian asked everyone's doubts, and Zhao Linglan replied: "Because I don't have any money on me, I want to go home as soon as possible. Who knows that I will encounter bandits on the way."

"Go home? Isn't your home in the small town just now?"

"No, I'm from the imperial city, and I'm here to visit relatives."

"You came here alone from a place as far away as the imperial city to visit relatives?"

Zhao Linglan looked a little hesitant, and replied after a while: "To tell you the truth, I escaped from marriage, and my father forced me to marry someone I don't like. So...but I am really going to join my aunt Yes, who knew that my aunt also advised me that the marriage was a matter of my parents' order and the matchmaker's words, maybe I really don't have the right to resist, but I'm really not reconciled."

These few words almost touched Yun Molian's heart. He had been irritated for a long time because his family always forced him to marry as the second young lady.

"I can understand your feelings. The seemingly simple words of the matchmaker's order, but they are very helpless. I forgot to introduce. My name is Yun Molian. In the past, Wei Ming and Gu Fan were here in turn. , Xie Lingbai, Wen Changheng, we are all from Xixia City, dare to ask the girl's name?"

"My name is..." Zhao Linglan looked at Wen Changheng, glanced at him before continuing: "My name is Lin Lian, Shuangmu Lin, the lotus of the lotus."

"Miss Lin..."

"My lord, don't be so polite, just call me Xiaolian."

"Okay, Xiao Lian, don't talk about your son and son, just call me by my name."

"Then I'll call you Brother Yun."

Yun Molian nodded happily, Xie Lingbai really believed that this guy probably really fell in love with this girl at first sight.

"Xie Lingbai, anyway, we are going to the imperial city, why not take her with us, her family is too dangerous for a girl, so we should have someone to take care of us along the way."

"I have no objection, where is the master?"

Xie Lingbai asked Wen Changheng. Wen Changheng didn't have much expression on his face, but he didn't object either. Therefore, there were originally five people in a group, but now there are six people.

However, what I was worried about happened before, that is, I didn't encounter any towns or villages until it was almost dark, and this time there were no ruined temples.

"It seems that we can only make do with one night here temporarily."

"Fortunately, it's not the twelfth lunar month of winter, or I would freeze to death."

Xie Lingbai jumped out of the carriage and stretched his muscles. He didn't know how long it would take to reach the imperial city. It was good to meet the inn on the way every day, but it would be a bit of a pain if he couldn't.

"Master, I'm going to see if there is any water source."

After Wei Ming finished speaking, he took two empty water bottles and walked deep into the forest. Xie Lingbai saw that Gu Fan was picking up branches on the ground, so he also ran to help.

"Cloud Butterfly, come and help me get it."

After picking up some, Xie Lingbai yelled at Yun Molian, who reluctantly walked over, leaving only Wen Changheng and Zhao Linglan beside the carriage.

"Mr. Wen, what are you always looking at me for?"

Wen Changheng withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "I just think that the fourth princess is really comfortable. She came all the way here just to sleep with us?"

Zhao Linglan was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah, you really recognized me, I thought you might not be able to recognize me after so many years, it's said that women's colleges have changed, so I haven't changed at all? !"

Even if she was recognized, she didn't seem too worried. Anyway, since Wen Xun didn't expose her just now, they should be able to get along in harmony.

Wen Changheng didn't bother to pay attention to her, Zhao Linglan sighed: "You seem to be more difficult to get along with than before. Now you seem to be less gentle than before, but more indifferent and alienated. I heard that the prince's younger brother also went to find you a while ago What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have the same attitude towards him? Or is it just that you don't like me?"

"Wen is just a poor commoner, who has the right to look down on the princess, but the princess, what is the purpose of coming here?"

"Although I have a little purpose in approaching you, I will never harm you. You can rest assured about this. In addition, I did escape from marriage. My mother and concubine insisted on forcing me to marry General Cao, but Cao The general will be fifty this year, and I feel too old to be my father."

"Concubine Liu Gui has only one daughter under your knees, so she is willing to do so."

"There is no family affection in the royal family, but it is all driven by some interests. My mother, concubine and queen, you have been fighting with me for so many years. I am afraid that every night I dream about how to win. , and I don’t feel tired from living.”

Wen Changheng has no objection to this point. After all, everyone knows about the matter in the palace. On the surface, there is peace, but in the interior there are intrigues. Living in the palace is like living on the battlefield. You can't relax for a moment.

"Master, what are you talking about? I saw you talking from a distance."

Xie Lingbai walked over with a stack of branches and put them on the ground. Zhao Linglan smiled and said, "I was just asking Mr. Wen if there is anything I can do to help."

"You are a girl, why do you need to do these rough jobs, just sit and rest."

Yun Molian walked over and said, Zhao Linglan nodded, found a rock and sat down, Gu Fan squatted down and tidied up the branches on the ground, and then took out a torch and lit it.

Not long after, Wei Ming also came back, carrying a few cleaned fish in his hand, Gu Fan stepped forward to help, and the two put the fish on a sharpened wooden stick and roasted them on the fire.

The kettle was already filled with water, Wei Ming explained: "This is clean mountain spring water."

Xie Lingbai nodded, took it, unscrewed it and took a few sips, then asked Wen Changheng: "Do you want to drink, master?"

"Need not."

"Wei Ming, it's a good thing you caught a few fish and came back, otherwise you would have to give up cold dry food tonight. By the way, Miss Xiaolian, your home is in the imperial city, so do you know how long it will take to get to the imperial city? "

"According to today's speed, it will take about thirteen or fourteen days."

"How long will it take?!"

"Well, today is April [-]th, and we will be able to reach the imperial city at the end of April. It will be much faster if we ride a horse, and the carriage will be slower, and we will rest as soon as it gets dark."

"That can't be helped. You can't rush every day and night. Anyway, you still have plenty of time, so it doesn't matter. It's just that it's a bit hard to eat and sleep in the open."

"Xie Lingbai, none of the other girls complained about their hard work, so you say you are not ashamed of yourself."

Yun Molian sat next to him and laughed at him, which made Zhao Linglan laugh. Xie Lingbai didn't refute anything. Maybe it's because the days in Wenfu are too leisurely recently, but he hasn't eaten anything since he was a child. bitter.

"Master..."

Gu Fan handed Yun Molian a grilled fish, and Yun Molian handed it to Zhao Linglan beside him, saying, "Little Lian, are you hungry? Come and try it, although it's not as good as the one in the restaurant." , but at least better than dry food."

"Thank you, Brother Yun."

Zhao Linglan took a sip after taking it, and Yun Molian also reminded: "Be careful..."

"Mmm...it's delicious, tender and refreshing."

"You are so easy to please."

"It's really delicious—"

After Zhao Linglan finished speaking, Xie Lingbai who was sitting opposite took a bite of the fish and wondered, "Why don't I think it's so delicious, it doesn't have any taste at all."

Yun Mo glared at Xie Lingbai, and said: "What do you know, Xie Lingbai, if you don't think it tastes good, you can eat dry food, there is plenty in your luggage."

"Although it doesn't taste good, I'd rather eat fish than dry food. Come and taste it, master."

Xie Lingbai gave one to Wen Changheng, and Gu Fan handed another one to Yun Molian. After eating the fish, the group ate some snacks they bought, and then sat and chatted for a while. Digestion.

"Miss Xiaolian, it's windy at night, you should sleep in the carriage at night."

Xie Lingbai said to Zhao Linglan, and Yun Molian agreed, "That's a good idea."

"What about you?"

"There are many of us crowded in the carriage and we can't stretch out. We can just make do with one night here."

"In this case, it is better to obey than to be respectful."

Zhao Linglan got up, walked to the carriage and climbed up. Yun Molian offered her his cloak, and then returned to the big tree where he was sitting before.

"Hey, where's Gu Fan?"

Gu Fan, who was sitting here just now, suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yun Molian asked curiously, and Xie Lingbai yawned and replied, "It seems to be going over there."

After finishing speaking, she threw herself into Wen Changheng's arms and said, "Master, I'm a little sleepy—"

Wen Changheng patted him on the back and said, "Sleep when you're sleepy."

Yun Molian sat down with his back against the big tree. Recently, whenever he slept outside, he would always sleep with Gu Fan's leg on his head, so he slept quite peacefully.

After a day's driving, he was indeed a little sleepy, but looking around, he didn't know why Gu Fan was there. Even if he relieved himself, it wouldn't take so long.

And Gu Fan was sitting by the stream, remembering that he and Yun Molian were sitting together by the river some time ago, listening to Yun Molian confide in many things.

Seeing Yun Molian's performance today, he must like Miss Lin Lian. He had agreed to leave after he found his sweetheart. Is it time now?

Then do I still need to go to the imperial city?Should he leave by himself, or wait until the young master opens his mouth to drive people away?

"There is no possibility between us at all, everything is just my own wishful thinking..."

Gu Fan laughed at himself, washed his face in the stream water to wake himself up a bit, then walked back slowly, and when he returned to the carriage, he found that Xie Lingbai and the others had already fallen asleep.

"Where have you been?"

Yun Molian asked in a low voice, Gu Fan walked to another big tree and sat down, and said lightly, "Go and wash your face."

"Washing your face for so long? I thought you were taken away by a wild beast. I was just trying to be happy, but I didn't expect you to come back. What a pity—"

Yun Molian was joking easily, but Gu Fan didn't respond much. Yun Molian waited for a while but didn't get a response, stretched his waist and said: "I'm sleepy..."

"Then rest early."

After Gu Fan finished speaking, he leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes to rest, Yun Mo was stunned. Before, whenever he said he was sleepy, Gu Fan would come over and let him sleep on it. What happened tonight?

He wanted to ask, but felt that asking such a question seemed to make him unable to do without Gu Fan, so in the end he didn't say anything, and fell asleep leaning against the big tree.

But the big tree was hard, and his back felt uncomfortable after leaning on it for a long time. He glanced at Xie Lingbai nestled in Wen Changheng's arms, feeling a little envious.

Moreover, he gave Zhao Linglan his cloak, and it was a bit chilly when the night wind blew, so he couldn't help shrinking his shoulders.

Gu Fan opened his eyes and looked at Yun Molian who was tossing and turning alone. He knew in his heart that he probably felt cold so he couldn't sleep well. After all, he couldn't bear it, so he got up and walked to sit beside him.

"Master..."

Yun Molian glanced at him, remembering what happened just now so he didn't bother to pay attention, Gu Fan hesitated for a while and said: "If you feel cold, you can sleep next to me."

"My young master is not rare, get out of here."

"It's still cold at night. You've given your cloak to others, so you'll naturally feel uncomfortable."

"Could it be possible for this young master to watch her as a girl's house suffer from the cold?!"

"Does the young master like her?"

Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Gu Fan to ask such a question, he thought about it, but he didn't really like it, but he just wanted to get close and understand.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Because I said before that if the young master meets his sweetheart, we will get back together, and I won't be entangled anymore."

Yun Molian looked at Gu Fan and felt that his expression didn't seem like he was joking, so he subconsciously said: "Even if I don't have a sweetheart, I wouldn't like you, don't you understand this yet?! "

Gu Fan smiled, and the smile was a bit bleak, and he replied: "I already understood..."

Yun Mo turned his head away from looking at him, "If you understand, why do you ask, whoever I like is my right, and no one can interfere."

Xie Lingbai who was on the side secretly opened his eyes, wanting to take a look this way, but before he saw it, his eyes were covered by a hand, and he knew it was Wen Changheng's hand, probably meaning to let him continue to sleep.

Although I am a little itchy to read gossip, I also know in my heart that if I disturb them now, the scene will seem even more embarrassing.

"Go to sleep..."

Gu Fan said softly, then stretched out his hand to embrace Yun Molian, Yun Molian waved his hand away, and said, "I have already said that this young master is not rare, so stay away from me."

Gu Fan's hands paused, and then he turned his head to look at the carriage, all the baggage was on the carriage, if he went to get a piece of clothes out now, it would definitely disturb Miss Lin in the carriage.

He thought for a while to untie his belt, took off his outer shirt and put it on Yun Molian's body. Yunmo stiffened for a moment, then turned to look at him, only to see that he had already got up and walked to sit under the big tree before. It's time to go to bed.

Yun Molian lowered his head and looked at Gu Fan's coat that was draped over him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, thinking back on the conversation just now, there was nothing wrong with it.

At first it was Gu Fan who asked him to lean on him to sleep, but now he suddenly put on a face, as if he wanted to lean on him very much, he didn't think he said something wrong.
