Consort Zhanzhao

In the darkness, Zhan Zhao's eyes seemed to be brighter than the torches outside, and Zhao Bijia didn't know how long he stared at her before he stretched out his hand and slowly touched her neckline.

Zhao Bijia was so nervous that she couldn't even move, but her neat hand barely touched her skin, touched the place where she had just pierced with the hairpin, and suddenly Zhao Bijia felt herself trembling , the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Zhan Zhao's hand retracted again, Zhao Bijia couldn't tell whether she was lucky or disappointed, but when Zhan Zhao handed over the soup again, she was so disappointed.

"Drink it." There seemed to be something more in his voice this time, and Zhao Bijia felt a little distressed when he heard it. He snatched the jar in his hand, took a breath, held it, and drank it all in one gulp.

Only then was Zhan Zhao satisfied, and hugged her against the wall, "At that time, I was actually afraid to leave you alone in this cave."

Zhao Bijia covered his mouth with her hand and shook her head, "I'm not afraid now."

"Would you like to rest for a while?" Zhan Zhao said, "It's not convenient to walk at night after all, Zhao Xuan is too young, we will go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Just sleep here?" Zhao Bijia was a little surprised, but Zhan Zhao nodded unexpectedly, "I'll be with you."

"Well," Zhao Bijia took the cloak he handed over and covered her body, and lay down on his shoulders, as if... the shadow of yesterday was swept away, she closed her eyes, feeling There was an exceptionally reassuring breath around her, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

But this time she dreamed again.

Although she couldn't remember exactly what she dreamed about, she remembered the feeling at that time, it was very warm and full of security, and this feeling was completely different from what Zhan Zhao brought her.

In the dream, there seemed to be a voice calling her "Come on quickly", Zhao Bijia suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, and found that tears were streaming down her face unconsciously.

The morning light had already shone in, and when she heard movement inside, Zhao Xuan poked her head in, "Come on, have roasted bird eggs in the morning! It's delicious! Sister, why are you crying?"

Zhao Bijia wiped away his tears and came out. Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but frowned again, walked to her side and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's not a nightmare," she nodded and shook her head again, "It seems that someone is calling me..." She pursed her lips, took the water bag from Zhan Zhao's hand, and didn't expect that just now when she turned in a different direction, the person who could make people desperate The throbbing appeared again, and she even took two steps forward involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao firmly held her hand, his brows frowned a lot.

Now Zhao Xuan is not in the mood to eat bird eggs anymore, several people gather together, Zhao Bijia faces the direction that made her very excited just now, "I think I have to go there."

"Where are you going?" Zhan Zhao asked back, his voice still a bit blunt, "Do you know where you are going?"

Zhao Bijia shrank her neck, "I always know."

"Is it the cat demon?" Zhan Zhao asked after a moment of silence.

Zhao Bijia hesitated a little, "I don't know... Maybe it is." She pursed her lips, "But... If it wasn't for it at that time, I would have died. If the Holy Gu was taken out by Ling Yun..." Zhao Bijia remembered that time The feeling that the heart was almost pulled out of the body, I couldn't help but grabbed my chest, "I swear that if I can go back one day, I will move this pagoda and bury it beautifully."

Seeing what Zhan Zhao wanted to say, she hurriedly said again: "I don't think it has evil intentions, maybe... maybe it just wants me to return the inner alchemy to it?" But thinking of the bones in the pagoda, Zhao Bijia said again : "Maybe its descendants."

Zhan Zhao wanted to say something more.

"In my opinion, it's better to go there once." Yang Hean said, "You can feel at ease once you go to see it. Besides... I have inquired about this matter. It was only a little eunuch who caught it back then. Since even the little eunuch Anyone can catch it, and now the two of us can do it."

Zhao Xuan was a little agitated, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "Anyway, we've all come out, and it's not easy to go back to Bianliang now, so why not go shopping?" Zhao Xuan also glanced at Zhan Zhao and Yang He'an, " With the two of them here, there won't be any problems. I also want... to see my sister doing well."

Three of the four agreed, and Zhan Zhao had nothing to say. Besides, he also wanted to resolve this matter, but he didn't want to put Zhao Bijia in danger.

Looking at the rising sun, several people walked down the mountain again.

This time it was much easier than when we went up the mountain. Zhao Bijia took Zhan Zhao to the back and comforted him in a low voice: "It's really nothing. Think about it. When we came here, someone chased and killed us. Now everyone is lured away by Bai Yutang." Now, aren’t we much safer? How about just enjoying the mountains and rivers?”

Zhan Zhao returned her a smile, but there seemed to be something else in that smile, and Zhao Bijia could vaguely guess something, but he didn't ask.

Not long after, a few people went down the mountain, and this time they didn't have to be careful to hide their tracks, so they simply bought a carriage, and they leisurely walked all the way to the southeast, following the faintly visible guidance in Zhao Bijia's heart.

"It's much more comfortable than being in the capital." Zhao Bijia opened the curtain of the carriage, felt the comfortable breeze both in terms of temperature and speed, and couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Xuan followed her and nodded, "I have grown up so much, I have never been anywhere except the Summer Resort. Being able to play with my sister is really a blessing in three lifetimes."

Amused by Zhao Xuan's exaggerated tone, Zhao Bijia said, "It's only been done in three lifetimes? You must have been very unlucky in your previous life."

The two siblings were happily bickering with each other. Yang and An, who were driving the car outside, could not help but raise the corners of their mouths. Speaking of leaving the palace... Although life is not as good as before, it is not so bad that it is unbearable. The situation, but this mood is much better.

Zhan Zhao looked at his new wife in the car, and... brother-in-law, and passed the water bag over, "I've been talking non-stop since noon, are you thirsty?"

As soon as Zhao Bijia got the handbag, the carriage was jolted for a while, and the water bag fell to the ground unexpectedly, and the water spilled all over the floor.

"Be careful! There is an ambush!" Yang and An tightened their reins and avoided the stumbling rope ahead.

Zhan Zhao drew his sword out, nodded to Zhao Bijia, and jumped up onto the roof of the carriage.

About a dozen people with bows and arrows appeared in front of the carriage. Zhan Zhao's eyes darkened, and he called out, "Get down."

At this time, I can't control too much. Only by striking first can we be invincible. Zhan Zhaoxiu's arrows flew up, and half of the people fell down in a blink of an eye, but the arrows in the remaining half of the people also shot out!

Yang and An quickly pulled the reins and pulled hard, turned the entire carriage ninety degrees, and used the relatively strong side walls of the carriage to block the bows and arrows. At the same time, the movements in their hands did not stop. The arrow was cut in half by him, and he leaped forward again, piercing into the middle of the group of bandits in front like a sharp sword, and the big knife greeted the vital parts of the man's body, but after a while, the rest of the people also jumped. fell to the ground.

It's just that the two of them didn't dare to relax, and they still kept their swords across their chests on guard.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Bijia dragged Zhao Xuan to lie in the middle, and piled blankets and blankets around, so that even if there were arrows coming, they could at least block it.

Zhao Xuan's nervous face turned a little pale, and he stammered, "What is this for?"

Hearing the sound of bows and arrows shooting on the carriage, not to mention him, even Zhao Bijia felt a little nervous. She stretched out her paws, and based on the sound of the wind just now, she was also thinking in her heart, if an arrow really came, She couldn't resist this block, at most she could fool the arrow by one or two points.

It's just... Although the wound heals quickly, it still hurts.

I don't know how long I waited, there was no sound outside, Zhan Zhao, Yang and An both came back, Zhan Zhao said solemnly: "Let's hurry up and get on the road."

"Wait." Yang and An expressed different views, "What if there is an ambush ahead?"

"You mean to retreat?" Zhao Xuan asked, "But the book of war says that there is an ambush before and there will be pursuers after that. I'm afraid this is the ambush ahead?"

Zhao Bijia thought for a while, "Let's go forward. It's already midnight, if we go back, we'll have to spend the night in the wild. Besides, there's a big town just an hour ahead, where we originally planned to go Sleeping."

After finishing speaking, she added, "A place with a lot of people is a little safer after all."

Seeing that Zhao Bijia also agreed, Yang and An would never have another word. He drove the carriage again, much faster than before, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the town not far ahead.

"Why are people chasing us now?"

Sitting in the room, although there were hot meals on the table, almost everyone didn't care about the meals.

"This group of people..." Yang He'an hesitated for a moment, looked up at Zhan Zhao, as if seeking his explanation, "From the beginning to the end, they didn't intend to speak, and they used bows and arrows, as if...they came here to take our lives , I didn’t beg for mercy when I saw that I was invincible.”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Shoot randomly with bows and arrows... the martial arts are slightly inferior, as long as you open a small gap, the entire army will be wiped out."

Zhao Bijia narrowed his eyes, "The four of us...if it is really according to their plan, you two will not be able to survive after a bunch of arrows come over, and Zhao Xuan will probably lose his life, and I...I will probably be injured, but Can't die...it's still Ling Yun!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Bijia suddenly understood, "Unraveling the Gu has no effect on his purpose at all, he still colludes with King Pu, he wants the Gu, and King Pu wants the prince's life!" Zhao Bijia couldn't help being a little flustered at this point, her face I also lost my appetite for the meals on this table.

"Eat first." Zhan Zhao's hand covered hers, and squeezed it lightly. Yang He'an glanced at his movements, served Zhao Xuan a bowl of soup, and said lightly, "If it's this level, you don't have to worry about it." , the two of us can fight."

Zhao Bijia hummed, and Yang He'an said again: "Besides, when Bai Yutang returns to Bianliang and the Holy Majesty undoes the Gu, how can people like them have anything to do with them?" I'm afraid it's been seven or eight days since Tang left, and the journey has been so fast that it won't take more than half a month to go back to Bianliang."

The originally tense matter seemed to be nothing after his analysis, but it was Ling Yun and King Pu's dying counterattack. Zhao Bijia took a bowl and was about to eat, when he remembered something, he said: "So it's better to go on. Li Bian The farther Liang is, the less powerful King Pu will be, and the safer we will be."

Zhao Xuan agreed, "If you turn around and go back to Bianliang at this time, the emperor has not returned to normal, and King Pu has enough manpower, then you will be in a trap."

After the meal was finished, Yang and An stood up first, and said, "I'll tell them to prepare hot water and tomorrow morning's meal." Then they gave Zhan Zhao a wink.

Zhan Zhao also stood up, "I'm going to check on the horses. I was frightened today, so I need to ask the store to add more concentrated feed."

Zhao Bijia was busy packing things, but she didn't see the private eyes of the two of them, Zhao Xuan sat there doing nothing, although seeing the two people's eyes crossed, it seemed that something was wrong, but she didn't say anything, Instead, he stepped forward to support Zhao Bijia and said, "Let's walk slowly, shall we?"

Zhao Bijia put down the things in his hand and looked at him, Zhao Xuan took out the map, pointed to the town above and said: "I have seen it many times, we can take a short detour, for example, go to Zhengnan tomorrow, probably in the afternoon to the next town."

"The road is not so dangerous anymore." He explained again.

Zhao Bijia patted his head, thinking that the rain of arrows today might scare him, "Okay, I'll tell them when the two of them come back later."

Zhao Xuan smiled at her.

But the atmosphere of the two people outside was not so good.

The two walked into the yard one after the other, and when they heard that there was no one around, Yang and An immediately turned cold, "Princess didn't expect it, but I want to ask you, how did our whereabouts leak out?"

Zhan Zhao frowned. The obvious accountability in Yang and An's words seemed to mean that he attracted these people.

"Brother Yang—"

Yang He'an sneered and interrupted him, "I have no father, no mother, and no brothers!"

These words were very rude, Zhan Zhao's face turned slightly cold, and he said, "Are you suspicious of me?"

"You have been in contact with people along the way. The princess can't tell, but I can tell. Where did you go the night before?" Yang and An narrowed their eyes, and the whole person became more and more gloomy.

"I do still have contacts with my friends in the Jianghu."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's confession, Yang He'an couldn't help punching him, but his martial arts were not as good as Zhan Zhao's after all, so Zhan Zhao firmly stopped this punch.

"I asked them to help and see if there is any suspicious person along the way."

"Based on the two of us, is there any place in this world that the princess can't go to? You want to ask your friends from the rivers and lakes to help?" If Yang and An hadn't lowered their voices, almost everyone would have heard these words.

"In order to convict King Pu!" Zhan Zhao also lowered his voice, he kept holding Yang He'an's fists, and now he pulled them closer, "Prince Pu and his son have always had a good reputation these years. Going back, even if the whereabouts of the princess and the prince cannot be made public, at least one of them will not be able to escape the crime of raising private soldiers and secretly sending them to other provinces to do evil."

After hearing this sentence, Yang He'an's attitude softened slightly, and Zhan Zhao also let go of his strength. He shook his hand vigorously, and pulled his hand out, saying, "Then how did the princess's whereabouts leak out? Don't tell me it's because of Pu The king has set up eyeliner on every road? If he has so many people under his command, he should rebel directly!"
