last time

Chapter 145
When Yan Qingyao woke up again, she found that everything in front of her was strange.She raised her hand and rubbed the sore back of her neck, half-supported herself up, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Dong Zhu running towards her, still muttering something.

"Miss..." Dongzhu helped her up steadily, Yan Qingyao heard her words clearly, and barely sat up with the heels of her palms propped on the blanket. Guard the soldiers.

Yan Qingyao frowned slightly, she held Dongzhu's hand, Dongzhu hurriedly explained: "Miss, we escaped with the Governor and General Ye, they said that we should go south and we will be in Dacheng County soon."

Dacheng County?It is within the territory of Xiqi.Yan Qingyao opened her lips and found that she couldn't utter a word. Dongzhu also noticed that she couldn't speak, so she immediately went to find someone.

Yan Qingyao pulled her back.In the past, if she had a problem, she would definitely go to see it in time, but now she doesn't have the mind to take care of herself, Dong Zhu naturally knows what she is thinking.She lowered her head and said softly: "Your Majesty and Empress Lan Bi... It was Empress Lan Bi who ordered me and Xia Qiong to take the little prince out of the palace on the eve of the Governor's rush in, so we escaped by luck..."

"..." Yan Qingyao pinched her neck with her fingers, but she really couldn't make a sound.Yan Qingyao bit her lower lip and looked up at Dong Zhu.

"Miss wants to see the governor?" Dongzhu asked tentatively.

Yan Qingyao nodded, and Dongzhu hurried out.

Li Xunchuan and Ye Ji were still discussing things.If they make a move this time, it will definitely cause chaos in Gaodu, but they don't care about so much, only such chaos can make them find the fault.Li Xunchuan and Ye Ji talked about Yidong and Luzhou. On a smaller scale, they did it for Beili and Xiqi. That was selfish desire. On the other hand, they just wanted to find someone else who could replace Chu Shiyu. people.

The death of Emperor Chongwen was completely unexpected to him.Li Xunchuan had hope before, he went to kill Yan Chengxuan, it would be the best if Chu Shiyu let him go, if not, he would be able to tell him himself that he wanted to go.But everything is not as simple as he thought. Li Xunchuan is more nervous about cold illness than Chu Shiyu. As a good brother, as long as it can threaten Chu Shiyu, Li Xunchuan will put it first. As long as he was in good health, he let go of his defenses temporarily, but it was this that killed him in the end.

Now that he has escaped, his crime of regicide and defection must be spread to the world, and those with evil intentions will definitely make use of it to seize the throne.If Zhou loses his deer, all heroes in the world can chase him.When Li Xunchuan heard what Chu Shiyu said, he wanted to believe it, but he didn't want to involve Zhuo Ran.

He didn't tell Ye Ji about this.Zhuo Ran has been investigating the whereabouts of Nanxiang. If he finds out what happened and the real Nanxiang is someone else, he will no longer have to deal with Gaodu.But if this news is used by people with a heart to spread it widely, his desire to take Zhuo Ran away from these things is probably nonsense.

Whatever Zhuo Ran wants, he will do.

Li Xunchuan didn't say anything, Ye Ji naturally didn't know his relationship with Zhuo Ran, seeing his frowning, she thought he was worrying about Gaodu, but she had no position to speak, after all, she was a foreign minister, no matter what happened They can't even touch her body.

It's just that Ye Ji couldn't understand why Ye Lanyi would rather die than escort Yan Qingyao out?Does she really love Chu Shiyu so much?When Ye Lanyi was pregnant at the beginning, news came back to Xiqi that it was war time, Xiqi didn't have any extra thoughts on this matter, he had to think about border affairs when he was happy, Ye Baiqi seldom sent news back, she I've always been worried, but I can only worry.

The border is close to Beili, and Beili can lend a helping hand if something happens.But there was no news from Beili, and Li Yuchuan was also worried. Ye Ji didn't want to cause him trouble, so she kept silent and didn't mention it again.

What she regrets most now is that she didn't take Ye Lanyi's body away and let her go home.Ye Lanyi just wanted to stay by Chu Shiyu's side, but she couldn't figure it out.In her eyes, the relationship between these three people is very simple. Chu Shiyu liked Yan Qingyao, but Yan Qingyao gradually lost her heart because he married Ye Lanyi. Determined to follow him wholeheartedly.She didn't quite understand the relationship between Yan Qingyao and Ye Lanyi. It was rumored that the two of them got angry when they met. Later, after Chu Yun was born, the two became inexplicably sisters.

He was so affectionate that when he was dying, he still thought about Yan Qingyao's life and asked her to take her away.

Ye Ji dug her fingers into the cracked bark, and Li Yanchuan glanced at her sideways: "How do you plan to explain the matter of Concubine Lan?"

"Tell me the truth." Ye Ji frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "No. I was just thinking, after all, Concubine Lan is from Xiqi, and you will inevitably be blamed by King Xiao Feng when you go back this time."

Leaning on the tree trunk, Ye Ji snorted softly, and said, "Ah, are you worried about me or that imperial concubine?"

"You want to take her back to Xiqi?" Li Yanchuan asked.

Ye Ji said: "Otherwise? You have returned to the title of Champion Marquis now, but in fact you have already betrayed. If you bring people to Dacheng County, if your father is worried that Jun'an insists on not letting you enter Xiqi, you I can only go."

Li Xunchuan didn't tell her that he wanted to detour through Dacheng County to Yuzhou and go to Yongzhou to find Zhuo Ran.In fact, there is no need to go to Dacheng County, but he really wants to save time, and wants to find out Ye Wei's mind.

To be honest, he believed in Ye Baiqi and Ye Ji, but he didn't believe in Ye Wei, especially when he arranged for Ye Baiqi at that time, he had a big prejudice against Ye Wei.He is from Beili, at least his master will help him when he enters Gaodu, but Ye Baiqi is different, as the only son of King Xiaofeng, his father doesn't have the slightest intention to protect him.The border is full of dangers, Xi Qi has been swallowing his breath and did not dare to resist, and just watched Ye Baiqi leave home for five or six years.

If it were him, he would have already thought of betraying him.

After all, Ye Ji is the person who has been with Ye Wei the longest, and knows his temper best.If Li Xunchuan insisted on entering Xiqi, even she might not be able to stop Ye Wei, and she would be able to capture Li Xunchuan and send him back to Gaodu immediately.

Although Gao is very chaotic now, so chaotic that there is not even a monarch.But Ye Wei doesn't care, as long as he is meritorious, no matter who is the monarch, he will not fall into a miserable situation. This is what he is most certain of, and it is also something Ye Ji has no way to stop.

Li Xunchuan explained Chuyun's matter to Ye Ji. It was rumored that the prince was taken away by Li Chengru, and Jiang Rulan and others tried their best to save him before bringing him back. However, because he failed to catch Li Chengru, he temporarily gave up the news that the prince had returned.

Ye Ji knew it would be like this, and she didn't want to pursue anything further, she just looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "You...you should go directly to Yuzhou and bring Boye with you."

"what do you mean……"

"Since you know my father's temper, he is the least likely to allow you to stay in Xiqi for a while, so you might as well go straight away. Boye will only get hurt worse if he follows me. I don't want him to be involved in these disputes again Li, so you take him away, raising him well is the best consolation to my sister."

Ye Ji sighed deeply, and said, "I don't understand why you insist on going to Xiqi. You can go directly from Luocheng to Dingbeiguan. Isn't that easier and less troublesome?"

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "I can't go back now. As you can see, I am a rebel now. I want to wait for the news from Gaodu to come to the fore. I want to see if Yan Chengxuan will take that position."

"Why?" Ye Ji frowned.

Li Yuchuan paused for a moment without explaining, but instead changed the topic and said, "Then...you want to take Yan Qingyao back to Xiqi? Your father won't kill her?"

Yan Qingyao stood up straight and said, "Sister said she wanted me to save her. There are still many things I haven't asked clearly. I need to take her back. I just have to find a way to hide her identity."

"Your father has never met Yan Qingyao, so you can just pretend to be a girl and follow you." Li Yuchuan said, "Although I don't have any friendship with her, I think she has a good heart."

"Aren't you not close to women?" Ye Ji tilted her head and glanced at Li Xunchuan, and said, "How do you know whether she has a bad heart or not?"

Li Xunchuan didn't speak, he moved his gaze behind Ye Ji and said, "Dongzhu is here."

Ye Ji followed and turned around.When Dongzhu ran over, her eyes were all red, Ye Ji stepped forward, Dongzhu saw that she was a little scared, she didn't dare to move, she just lowered her head.

Li Xunchuan looked at her: "Is she awake?"

Only then did Dongzhu nodded heavily, and said tremblingly: "But... but miss, she can't speak..."

When Ye Ji followed Li Yanchuan to Yan Qingyao's tent, she didn't go forward, but carefully looked at Yan Qingyao from a long distance.Dongzhu carefully took care of Yan Qingyao very well. Yan Qingyao's eyes were a little tired because she was only awake.

Ye Ji also heard people say how arrogant Yan Qingyao was.If Ye Lanyi is like water and a gentleman, then Yan Qingyao is the opposite of her in every way.Ye Lanyi was originally a delicate and beautiful woman, and she felt that Yan Qingyao also seemed to have this kind of aura in her trance.

Yan Qingyao hadn't fully recovered yet, her eyes were haggard and her complexion was pale and brittle.This place is still some distance away from Dacheng County, and there are no doctors, Li Xunchuan shook his head helplessly.

Yan Qingyao signaled that there was no need to invite a doctor to see her. She accidentally met Ye Ji's eyes, and Ye Ji immediately lowered her head.Li Yanchuan didn't quite understand what Yan Qingyao said with her lips opened, so she could only say: "My concubine, the situation is urgent now, you and General Ye Ji returned to Xiqi, just to conceal your identity."

Yan Qingyao didn't care about what she was going to do at all, she made mouth shapes, and then Li Yanchuan understood what she was worried about.

"Boye, I will go to him," Li Yuchuan said, "I will protect him, you don't have to worry."

Yan Qingyao nodded.

"Also," Li Yanchuan continued: "Since the imperial concubine wants to go back with General Ye, she must forget everything about Gaodu. Yan Chengxuan will definitely send someone to look for you. At that time, the empress can talk to General Ye about what she wants to do. Now we all He is a defector."

Dongzhu took a deep look at Li Yuchuan, but could only step forward to support Yan Qingyao's arm and didn't dare to say anything.Yan Qingyao naturally understands where she is now, but she never thought that she would be able to get to where she is now in just one night.

A few days ago, Mingming was still planning how they would help bring Yan Chengxuan to justice, and how they came to be like this.

After Li Xunchuan asked her to take a good rest, he left with Ye Ji.Yan Qingyao looked at Ye Ji's back and lowered her head slowly.

***
Yuzhou and the others didn't stay long, and there was still some trouble when entering Xinzhou. Wei Xun pretended to be a caravan to buy goods in the city, and escorted Zhuo Ran into Xinzhou.The official road from Xinzhou to Yongzhou was originally extremely spacious, but after the Battle of Luxi, this road was incomplete, and it would be wobbly after walking for a while.

Zhuo Ran supported the wall of the car, feeling very uncomfortable from the bumps.Seeing that she was not very energetic, Wei Xun didn't dare to drive too hard, and stopped and walked, even so, looking at Zhuo Ran's complexion was still not very good.

Wei Xun sighed deeply, leaned closer to the carriage, and said, "Girl, if you feel tired, let's take a rest first."

Zhuo Ran opened the curtains of the carriage, shook her head towards him, and said, "It's nothing, it has been delayed for a long time. I thought that we could go to Yongzhou to check the general's mansion after the governor finished handling the Gaodu matter, but Counting the days, the governor probably has already left Gaodu for Beili, we need to hurry up."

Wei Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "Some things can't be rushed, the girl has to take care of her health."

"I'm not that weak." Zhuo Ran supported her body with the other hand and said, "By the way, Wei Xun, how long until we arrive in Yongzhou?"

"I guess it will take a few more hours." Wei Xun thought for a while, and said, "Come on, girl can take a rest, but the road is too bumpy, so she must not be able to rest well."

Zhuo Ran shook her head: "It's nothing."

She put down the curtain, touched the red string on her wrist and sighed softly.I don't know why it is so tormenting. It is clear that in the past few days, her heart is no longer on her, and she always feels that something is missing.

"Wei Xun," Zhuo Ranfu raised the curtain again, Wei Xun looked at her closer, Zhuo Ran's eyes narrowed, and he tilted his head and said, "The night you went to the Imperial College for a sneak attack, what kind of poison did you put on that iron chain? If it takes a long time, is there any help?"

Wei Xun thought carefully about what happened at Ye Guozijian, and then he smiled as if he had come to his senses, and said, "Girl, don't be nervous. It's just a kind of medicine. It looks like a poisoning symptom, but it will subside by itself after a few days. Without treatment, naturally there is no saying that there is no cure.”

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Wei Xun looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "That man must be alive now, and the dose is not much, the worst case is that he will be weak for a few days and unable to use martial arts, but it is harmless. "

If Chang Yinyu is fine, then it is more than enough to protect Zhou Yu, and she doesn't have to worry about them.As long as they are still alive, Zhuo Ran has a way to find them, but now she can't be too blatant, and has to think about how to solve the Nanxiang matter.

Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and didn't know how long she was in a daze until she realized that the carriage had stopped, Wei Xun moved the chair, Zhuo Ran got out of the carriage carefully, but gradually lost her mind looking at the familiar city gate.

Yongzhou.

Wei Xun took a peek at Zhuo Ran's expression, knowing that she had something on her mind at this moment, so he didn't speak again. When Zhuo Ran came back to his senses, he followed Zhuo Ran's instructions and walked into the city.

Sure enough, things are different.Every time Zhuo Ran takes a step, she feels that the ground under her feet has changed shape. It is obviously her hometown, but it is not her hometown.Until she passed through that city gate, it was like stepping over an unspeakable pain, stepping on the hideous and terrifying wound, trampling and ravaging her heart, but she still maintained her composure and walked step by step. Very stable.

Wei Xun followed her carefully, and he didn't dare to say a word. Looking at Zhuo Ran's back, he had the illusion of trembling slightly.

"Miss." Wei Xun quickened his pace to keep up with Zhuo Ran, and said softly beside her, "Miss, walk slowly, there are only a few people here who are middle-song, and the rest are ancient Qiang people."

Zhuo Ran nodded dumbly.She could see and hear that the streets and alleys of Yongzhou used to sell items that she was familiar with, but now the voices peddling along the street were all unfamiliar to her. Perhaps it was because she really had a natural hatred for the ancient Qiang people. Her voice sounded no different from howling on the battlefield, just like the victory declaration of the ancient Qiang people who flooded Yongzhou with blood, it sounded hateful and ridiculous.

Zhuo Ran tried her best to ignore these voices, but she could see people she hated. She wanted to massacre the city again, but this time it was not the people of Yongzhou who died, but these damn Yongzhou people.

"Girl!" Wei Xun saw a child with a cloth on his head rushing towards Zhuo Ran excitedly, but Zhuo Ran kept his head down as if he didn't see it, so he stepped forward and pulled Zhuo Ran past her. Arm, let a few children brush past Zhuo Ran and run over.

Zhuo Ran glanced at Wei Xun suddenly: "Thank you."

"Young lady is out of her mind." Wei Xun frowned and said, "If the young lady feels unwell, it won't be too late for us to go to the general's mansion after resting somewhere."

Zhuo Ran shook her head lightly: "It's nothing."

She tilted her head and glanced at the child who brushed past her, it was the ancient Qiang people.The child rushed towards his father, and saw the man holding his arm and helping him onto his shoulders, lifting the child high.The child was held by his father and had a great time playing.The woman came out of the shop, wiped the man's sweat with a cloth towel, and walked into the house to protect the climbing child.

Zhuo Ran turned his head back, Wei Xun didn't speak again, but seeing Zhuo Ran's serious face, he didn't let go. Zhuo Ran looked at their backs and sighed indiscernibly.

People here seem to have a good life.

However, it occupies the hometown of Yongzhou people.

Is it hate?And don't hate.Zhuo Ran closed his eyes, Wei Xun regretted that he didn't make some preparations to bring Zhuo Ran to Yongzhou again, Zhuo Ran is not comfortable with the disturbance now, if she really found the decree, would she still be willing to accept the decree and take it away? throne?
Zhuo Ran gently pushed his hand away, and said with a wry smile: "I thought this place was a purgatory, but now it seems that they are living happily."

Wei Xun lowered his head and said, "There is no one in Yongzhou who can manage things now. These people are very free, but fortunately, happiness varies from person to person."

Zhuo Ran frowned and looked at Wei Xun.
