Thinking of this, Zhang Qing looked back through the window of the carriage again.

Inside the city gate of Pingcheng, Shen Liuzhen had already turned and left, while Xie Yuan was still standing where he was, looking at this place fixedly.As the distance got farther and farther away, her tall and heroic figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog, like a lonely soul with expectations, who wanted to speak, but was unable to speak due to the barrier between yin and yang. Come.

Zhang Qing became more and more strange.

He turned around and retracted into the carriage, folded his arms, and wrinkled his ordinary face into an old man.

On this side, Xie Yuan finally lost sight of Lingxiu's disappearing figure, turned around and followed Shen Liuzhen into the carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Shen Liuzhen wrapping himself in the cloak with one hand, and holding a handkerchief in the other hand, covering his mouth and coughing violently.

"Are you okay?" Xie Yuan asked worriedly while closing the door of the carriage tightly.

"fine."

The carriage moved, and Shen Liuzhen leaned back a bit. He couldn't sit still, so he reached out to support the wall of the carriage.

Seeing that he was so weak, Xie Yuan frowned, and sat beside him, stretched his hand around his back to wrap his arm around, and took the temperature of his forehead with the back of his other hand.

Fortunately, there is no fever.

It's just that the kneeling in that snowy night back then hurt the root after all, and the cough was too easy to recur.

Shen Liuzhen looked sideways at Xie Yuan holding his hand, his heart was as sweet as honey, and he was a little grateful for his illness.

He turned around with a smile and asked, "A Yuan, why are you here so late?"

Hearing this, Xie Yuan looked depressed with her Danfeng eyes downcast. While stroking Shen Liuzhen's arm to add some warmth to him, she said calmly:
"Who knows what happened to Zhou Tingwei. Half an hour later, there is no movement. I was ready to rush in and light the fire... Then I was afraid that it would be too late, so I rode over with Lingxiu on horseback."

When Shen Liuzhen heard it, his throat tickled as if it was funny, he coughed softly, and said:

"What else could it be? It must be that he can't bear those things... It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem."

Xie Yuan sighed and said:
"It's too random. If this is on the battlefield, if it misses the opportunity so much, I'm afraid tens of thousands of people will die. They must be pulled out and killed."

Shen Liuzhen leaned shamelessly on Xie Yuan's shoulder. After leaning on it, he raised his eyes to see Xie Yuan's reaction. Seeing that she did not object, he smiled sweetly, revealing two small dimples, and then firmly By being strong.

He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, coughed twice, and said:
"It's okay, even if he's delayed, Zhang Qing won't leave if you don't show up, and I'm here, no matter what you can hold him back."

Xie Yuan turned his eyes and asked curiously:
"Why didn't they find that there was one more person."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his eyes flickered and he said:
"When you are a spy lurking in Wei State, does he know all of them? Spies are the loneliest and most difficult to identify, and they need relevant insider certificates.

Once some insiders die, their identities become suspicious, so they need to be carefully verified.

Including those who came back from the south, we will also check, it is not so important when handing over. "

Xie Yuan raised his chin knowingly, and asked worriedly after a while:
"Zhang Qing...will you help Lingxiu escape? I was supposed to help her secretly, but because..."

"It's okay, trust me, it's not a big problem..." Shen Liuzhen interrupted her in a murmur.

I stood outside for too long today, and the air was stuffy, and I always felt that my chest was short of breath.Because of his exhaustion, and because of the warmth of being next to Xie Yuan, he suddenly became sleepy, and could hardly raise his eyes.

"A Yuan, let me sleep for a while." As Shen Liuzhen said, he fell on Xie Yuan's lap, fisted one hand on his face, fluttered his eyelashes twice, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Yuan didn't expect Shen Liuzhen to be so tired, the hand that was holding his arm was still raised in the air, and he just stood there in a daze.

She looked down at his side face. After falling asleep, Shen Liuzhen was more like an innocent child, breathing lightly and showing obvious fatigue.

Xie Yuan sighed sadly, then slowly lowered his arm and placed it lightly on his waist.

……

Inside the carriage, Zhang Qing, who folded his arms and thought hard, suddenly said "Huh?", raised his brows and opened his eyes wide, his pupils flickered violently, obviously realizing a certain possibility.

He hastily opened the window of the carriage, poked his head out, and looked back desperately.

After leaving the city, the scenery outside gradually became barren. The convoy driving on the official road swayed forward, and it was only after a long distance that the carriages of the spies behind them could be seen.

The more Zhang Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he quickly ordered the convoy to stop, and he himself walked a long way under the suspicious eyes of everyone, to the side of the carriages, and let the people in the carriages get off.

After getting down, everyone lined up and stood together, and Zhang Qing looked over one by one.

Everyone was wearing hoods, their spirits were not good, and the weather was cold, so he couldn't see clearly, so he had to bend down and leaned over to look at their faces one by one. It was really against the demeanor of a Confucian scholar, and even a little funny .

Finally, Zhang Qing arrived in front of Lingxiu, and after staring intently for a while, his body trembled a bit, and after standing upright, there was another shocked and puzzled "Huh?!"

Hearing this, Lingxiu looked around in panic, and then looked up at Zhang Qing pitifully.

Lingxiu's appearance is definitely not bad. For Zhang Qing, who has always looked at the face, it is definitely enough to make him feel good.

What's more, he has seen Lingxiu's superb dancing posture and murderous ruthlessness. Subconsciously, he has a little admiration for Lingxiu.

Plus... because of Xie Yuan's relationship...

The light in Zhang Qing's small eyes flickered, and then she took Lingxiu's hand and walked towards her car.

So, the soldiers and guards on both sides of the convoy were dumbfounded again, watching Zhang Qing leading a woman and walking back through the long convoy.

At this time, the speculation in their minds was definitely the kind that Zhang Qing didn't want.

Lingxiu was dragged into the carriage by Zhang Qing. As soon as Lingxiu stepped in, she knelt at Zhang Qing's feet, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and begged bitterly:

"My lord, help me, as long as I can get out of Wei country. If you don't help me, Lingxiu will only die."

Zhang Qing looked at her, messy and at a loss and said:

"Oh...you are a wanted criminal of the Wei State. If I take you out, if you are discovered, won't it affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
