The woman stared at her and suddenly smiled.

"You don't want me to go back?" Ci Ke said.

Ye Youqing shrugged slightly.

"Then I'll stay with you first." Ci Ke said with a smile, she rubbed Ye Youqing's arm and slid up her shoulder like a cat, put her rounder chin on her collarbone, and slipped into her embrace.

Ye Youqing let go of the heart that had been raised all the time, and hugged the soft body in his arms tightly.

Ye Youqing acted very quickly. That night, he ordered Martha to prepare a carriage and fast horses, fed enough food and grass, and at the same time sent a message to the cavalry, arranging their affairs after she left.

In ancient times, it was not easy to send messages, and the news often lagged behind. Ma Er had only heard the news that the emperor had raised his troops to the north the day before, and the day after that, the news that the Qi army had arrived at Niangziguan, and the two sides were fighting.

The atmosphere in the city is much more solemn than yesterday. After all, no commoner wants to see a war, let alone being close to Xixia, the danger is a bit more.

In the evening, Ye Youqing looked at the saddled carriage in the courtyard, feeling depressed all the time, as if he was worried about something, and drinking a few sips of herbal tea could not quench his anger.

Everyone was busy tidying up their belongings, and now they are free to sit at the table. Except for Zhou Hong, everyone's complexion is not very good.

"Brother, why are you so happy." Ci Ke looked up at him.

Zhou Hong rubbed his hands and smiled: "I haven't left this land for seven years, so I'm glad I'm leaving now."

Ci Ke looked away, pulled Ye Youqing's hand worriedly, and whispered in her ear: "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Youqing came back to his senses, and shook his head in relief at her: "It's okay."

Ma Da Ma Er started to cook before he came back after ten miles to deliver the letter, and the same smoke and fire as usual spread in the courtyard, the door was knocked suddenly, Zhou Hong stopped Ye Youqing from getting up, and went to open the door.

Outside the door was a woman from the opposite door. She leaned her neck to look at the courtyard, and handed Zhou Hong half a basket of white flour buns in her arms, with a smile on her face: "I heard that you are going to leave during the day. I didn’t have much for you, so I steamed some food and used it as dry food on the way.”

"Mian'er, thank you brothers and sisters, thank you all for taking care of her for so long." The woman was about to bend down, but Ye Youqing, who stepped forward quickly, pulled her back.

Mian'er, who wore two round buns, jumped out from behind her, threw herself into Ci Ke's arms, and hugged her legs as usual.

"Sister, come back and see me later." Mian'er said in a milky voice.

Ci Ke smiled and stroked her hair.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left. Ye Youqing was just about to close the door when he heard the sound of horseshoes. A red-maned horse stepped on the bricks in the alley and stopped at the door.

As soon as she raised her head, Shi Lizheng had a serious face, her long eyebrows were frowned, and her red lips were tightly closed. She opened her mouth and said to Ye Youqing, "Come with me."

Ye Youqing was stunned for a moment, without any delay, he jumped on the horse with a long leg, stopped Ci Ke who was about to go forward, and comforted him in a warm voice: "It's okay, I'll go and have a look together."

After saying that, Shili clamped his horse's belly tightly, shouted sharply, and galloped away.

There were very few people in the city, and it seemed that they could not go out behind closed doors. The only place where crowds gathered was outside the city gate in the north of the city.

Ye Youqing didn't know well, so when he stopped ten miles away, he flew off his horse and squeezed away the surrounding crowd.

I saw a few civilians lying on the ground, all wearing common clothes, the soles of their feet were worn out, and the straw sandals were stained with blood. Two of them had wounds on their legs or shoulders, and they were panting and groaning, which was shocking.

"What's going on?" Ye Youqing grabbed the man standing beside him and asked anxiously.

The man was staggered by her, but he still replied with a good temper and a bitter face: "These people are from Yuanzhou. It is said that a group of troops broke through the city gate last night, broke into Yuanzhou late at night, burned, killed and looted, and occupied the city overnight. They stormed the city, killed many women, children and men, and the blood flowed like rivers!"

The onlookers turned around and ran back to the city from time to time. Some packed up their belongings and fled with their families. Those who couldn't escape could only close the doors and windows and pray secretly.

"Come quickly, carry them into the city and resettle them first!" A middle-aged man shouted harshly, and together with several others, he lifted the injured and ran into the city gate quickly.

"Is there no one else besides this?" Ye Youqing asked in a low voice, staring at the wide official road and the hills on both sides.

"These guys were able to escape because they were delivering goods in other places and returned to the city late. After the army occupied the city, it sealed off the city, and not even a bird could escape!" The man's voice was low, with a sense of imminent disaster, sad Looking into the distance with Ye Youqing.

After a few glances, he said worriedly: "If you can escape from a girl like you, let your family take you with you. Since they captured Yuanzhou secretly, they will definitely come to occupy it soon." I am Weizhou, if I don’t escape, I will die!”

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned around and rushed back to the city.

Ye Youqing turned his head and looked at Shili, both of them looked Ling Ran.

On the way back to the courtyard, Ye Youqing could see the depression in the city. Compared with the panic when they first arrived, people kept leaving with chariots and horses, but most of them didn't know where to go, especially the old and weak at home. You can only close the doors and windows and hide in it.

In addition, it was already evening, the sun was setting, and the city was covered with dark clouds for half a day, which made people feel frightened and palpitating.

Ye Youqing walked silently on the slick road, the city gate behind him had been closed tightly and pillars were erected to block the gate, but everyone knew that this was just a mantis arm.

"Since they sealed off the city, it proves that they are acting in secret. They want to catch Qi by surprise. It should be safe tonight. It is not too late for us to leave the city at night." Shi Li said beside her.

"Now that the army of Qi State is at Niangziguan, Xixia is pretending to be harassing at the border, but actually they don't know when they crossed the mountains in the north and came to the line of Weizhou." Ye Youqing closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"I don't know if the government in Yuanzhou has resisted or sent someone to send news to the capital. If not, it will be bad. By the time Qi's army arrives here, Weizhou will have been swallowed up." Shili is the same Shaking his head in worry, he rubbed his palms together.

However, Weizhou's government has been empty because of the successor of King Rong, and there is no state official here, which is even more desolate.

After being silent for a long time, Ye Youqing suddenly said, "Do I really want to run away alone?"

Shili on the side paused, pressed her shoulders suddenly, pulled her and turned around: "Ye Youqing! What did you say?"

"Nothing." Ye Youqing shook his head and pushed away ten miles.

After that, she didn't speak again, but silently walked through the familiar streets, frowning and thinking.

As soon as they got back to the yard, Shili asked everyone to pack up and left tonight. After hearing that the war was close at hand, everyone started to panic after hearing that the war was close at hand.

Only Ci Ke followed her all the time, and did not rush to move. In the end, Ye Youqing held her and persuaded her softly, and then persuaded her to leave.

Seeing that no one cared about her, Ye Youqing settled down and walked into the house where Lian'er was closed. After opening the door, he saw that Lian'er was half lying on the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes suddenly when he heard the movement.

Ye Youqing walked quickly to her side, wiped the fire and lit the candles, and only squatted down when the room was bright.

Lian Er looked at her suspiciously, her eyes narrowed due to the sudden light.

"You should have some way to contact the Imperial City Secretary directly." Ye Youqing said calmly.

Lian'er's complexion changed, her cheeks turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Didn't you say..."

"I won't kill you." Ye Youqing interrupted her in a gentle voice, "But Xixia troops will attack Weizhou soon, and now the army of Qi State is far away in Niangziguan. Report it and go to dispatch troops, I am afraid this place has been razed to the ground."

Lianer looked at her with angry eyes, and her breathing speeded up slowly.

Ye Youqing was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at her calmly. After a while, he reached out for a dagger and cut the rope on her leg. Lian'er couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and slowly raised her eyes.

"Is there?" Ye Youqing asked again.

Lian'er looked at her, dodged her eyes for a long time, and then slowly nodded.

The sky is not yet dark, but the scenery in the courtyard is already very blurred, as if covered with a layer of black veil, even the moon is not visible, only the chirping of autumn cicadas, making people disturbed.

The carriage was completely ready, the horses were tied up, and the horses were grazing with their heads down, and no one was in the courtyard.

Ye Youqing paused, she took a deep breath, and knocked on Ci Ke's door.

The door opened quickly, and before she could speak, Ci Ke stretched out his hand and pulled her into the door, the room was dark without the lights on, Ye Youqing accidentally stepped on Ci Ke's foot, and quickly supported the wall.

"Ye Youqing, since you came back from the city gate, your expression is not right." Ci Ke said softly, her hand holding Ye Youqing was a little cold.

"Is there?" Ye Youqing smiled.

"I can see clearly." Ci Ke whispered, "Do you want to..."

"Hush." ​​Ye Youqing put his hand on her lips, stopping her words.

Ci Ke opened her hand, and just when she was about to speak, she felt a warm lip replace her fingers, completely blocking the words she wanted to say, forcing her to swallow them.

Ci Ke couldn't help but let out a low voice, reaching out his hand to push Ye Youqing away, but suddenly lost his strength, he could only retreat along Ye Youqing.

Ye Youqing's movements are very gentle, but also very jerky, she can only learn to taste those lips, as she thought, it is similar to the touch of strawberry jelly, but it is even more inseparable.

The lips of the two women were soft and warm.

It was clearly an autumn night, but the surrounding area suddenly heated up, making people dizzy.

Ye Youqing's heart was in a mess, he didn't want to think about anything at the moment, he just wanted to hug the girl in front of him tightly, lick her sweetness, and listen to the delicate, pleasant voice from her throat.

The voice made the body weak, and Ye Youqing could only wrap his arms around Ci Ke's shoulders to control the two of them to stand still.

She rubbed the back of Ci Ke's head, feeling her trembling momentarily from head to toe.

"Ye..." Ci Ke continued intermittently, unable to call out Ye Youqing's name. When did she feel this way, her face flushed with shame, and she stretched out her hand against Ye Youqing's lapel, but she never really pushed it hard. open.

Ye Youqing still didn't let her go, he tried deeper and deeper, the tip of his tongue slipped, causing Ci Ke to tremble again.

Ye Youqing didn't leave until Ci Ke was almost out of breath and slowly fell back, his eyes were a little blurred, and he used his lips to catch a hot tear from Ci Ke.

The girl in front of her eyes was full of water vapor, her lips were tortured to the point of being bright red, the tip of her tongue lightly swept over the broken skin, and her arms like water snakes actively climbed onto Ye Youqing's neck, pressing her neck down.

"Hmm..." She raised her head and leaned over, signaling with red eyes.
