After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 173 Inextricably linked (5)

Wen Jisheng: "..." He couldn't help taking a deep breath, then rubbed his arms, and said, "Your words are so scary. When I heard these words suddenly, I thought Lou Xiyue There was an accident in the capital."

Ban Xiyu: "..." She was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully about what she had said, and then laughed helplessly: "That's not what I meant——if you don't have a crow's mouth, Xiyue will be safe in the capital."

"Yes, yes, I have a crow's mouth—but when did you secretly send a letter to Lou Xiyue?" Wen Jisheng asked.

Ban Xiyu: "At Xiaoyunzhai. For a while, Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang got rid of the people who were secretly following me, so I seized the opportunity and wrote a letter to Xiyue."

But when the pigeon came back, it didn't bring Lou Xiyue's reply.

This is not like Lou Xiyue's style.Ban Xiyu thought that the letter she sent was probably intercepted by others, and did not reach Lou Xiyue as expected.

Ban Xiyu speculated: "I think that letter probably fell into the hands of King Xuan Ping." As a prince, King Xuan Ping's mansion must be heavily guarded.

If the letter is blocked, it is reasonable.Ban Xiyu said: "Fortunately, I used my words carefully and did not reveal too many clues and content in the letter, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain this matter."

Wen Jisheng listened quietly, and after a while, he said: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much about Lou Xiyue. She has many years of experience in the world, no matter how dangerous the capital is, she is capable of dealing with it."

He continued: "However, if you are really concerned, when I arrive at Nanhuai Mansion, I will contact my friends in the capital and entrust them to help find out the news."

Ban Xiyu became curious again.She turned her head to look over, and quickly looked away: "Do you have friends in the capital?"

Wen Jisheng explained: "We don't have a deep relationship, so we can barely be regarded as friends. He owes me a favor, so it's okay to ask him for a little favor."

"Then I will trouble you." Ban Xiyu thanked her.

Then the two fell silent again.

In the silence, there is only the sound of wind and rain outside the hut.Ban Xiyu listened to the sound of the rain falling, and thought that this world was so quiet that only the two of them were left.

Afterwards, they talked for a while, and gradually, there was no movement from Ban Xiyu's side.Wen Jisheng looked around, and in the narrow field of vision, he saw that she had fallen asleep peacefully with her back against the wooden wall.

Ban Xiyu's breathing was very shallow, and from these distances, if he hadn't heard the silence very well, he would not be able to hear it at all.

Wen Jisheng watched her silently for a while, then walked out from behind the shelf lightly.He took out a cloak from his bundle, slowly approached it, and then gently covered her body.

Ban Xiyu seemed to be in a deep sleep, and was not awakened by the sound of silence.

Wen Jisheng looked at her carefully, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.

After a while, Wen Jisheng turned his head to look at the sky.At this moment, the sky outside the window was dark, and the night was falling, and it was already nighttime.

After lighting the mosquito-repelling spices around Ban Xiyu, he also returned to the back of the wooden frame, leaned against the pillar and closed his eyes to rest...

"Boom!—"

Ban Xiyu was awakened by the thunder.She opened her eyes suddenly, only to see a dim light.It took her a while to realize where she was.

The fire in the thatched hut has been extinguished, leaving only the fleeting light after lightning and thunder.

Wen Jisheng noticed the strange movement on her side, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out and asked, "What's the matter? But you were frightened by lightning?"

Ban Xiyu regained her composure, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I had a nightmare and happened to be disturbed by thunder." She asked, "What time is it?"

Wen Jisheng kept vigil for most of the night, and now he is still sleepy.He glanced out a little and said, "It stands to reason that it should be the time for sunrise now."

But one night passed, the rain hadn't stopped, and there was still a non-stop rushing sound outside.

He said: "It's raining so fast, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while. You take a break, and I'll call you when the rain is a little lighter and you can leave."

So they stayed in the thatched cottage for a while longer.It's just that when the sky brightened, the rain was still pattering, and it didn't completely clear up.

"I've waited long enough, if I wait any longer, there will be heavy rain again." Wen Jisheng suggested, "Why don't we go now? Stay in the next town as soon as possible while the rain is not heavy. At that time, we can buy a carriage so we can go on our way."

Ban Xiyu nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

After agreeing, the two set off immediately.They worked hard and finally arrived at Shuanghe Town before noon.When we arrived at Shuanghe Town, it was actually not far from Nanhuai Mansion, and it took about a day and a half to get there.

When they found an inn to stay in Shuanghe Town, as expected by hearing the silence, the rain picked up again.

While waiting for the food to be served in the lobby, Wen Jisheng looked up at the lingering clouds in the sky and said, "If the rain doesn't stop, something will happen."

Ban Xiyu has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so he is naturally well aware of the dangers of prolonged rainstorms.

"The Jiangnan area is rainy every summer, and floods are a common problem." Ban Xiyu said with a serious expression, "I think we should rush to Nanhuai Mansion as soon as possible. If we can't, we will encounter floods. Then we will think I can't even walk."

When they rushed to Shuanghe Town in the morning, a section of the official road they passed was washed away by rain.It can be seen that the longer the time is delayed, the worse it will be for them.

Wen Jisheng could understand what she meant, but——

"However, from Shuanghe Town to Nanhuai Mansion, the fastest, fastest, will take a day. Not to mention that it is still raining, even if the wind is sunny, hard-working people can't survive a day and a night without eating or drinking. Sleep on your way."

Ban Xiyu frowned: "Is there no other way?"

Wen Jisheng was about to speak, when suddenly someone in the hall interrupted: "Hey, you two are hurrying? Don't dream! Why are you rushing in this weather? Be careful and rush to the underworld! "

"That's right. And if you want to leave now, it's already too late." The waiter served the dishes and said with a rag, "The two guests just came from other places, right?"

Wen Jisheng nodded: "So what?"

The shop clerk laughed and said, "I think the direction you are coming from is the northwest. The road over there is still smooth so far. Tsk tsk, but if you leave Shuanghe Town and go east, that won't work!"

Ban Xiyu's eyebrows twitched, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he asked: "Could it be that the road leading to Nanhuai Mansion has been..."

The shop clerk nodded repeatedly: "Yes! It rained all night last night without stopping for a moment. No, someone just brought news this morning that it was the only official road to Nanhuai Mansion. The collapsed mud slope is sealed, and no one can leave at all!"
