Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 46
The doubts in their hearts were gone. They both slept soundly that night and set out refreshed the next day.

After ten days of trekking over mountains and ridges, the two of them finally arrived at Jianmen County, which is under the Jianmen Pass. After entering the city, the coachman dropped them off at the only inn in the county and then turned around and left.

Jianmen Pass is a military strategic pass, so most of the people living in the county are military households, and there are few merchants coming and going. It is not easy for guests to come, and the waiter is very enthusiastic. Not only does he help bring the luggage to the guest room, he also says The food will be served shortly.

After closing the door, Qi Jiaojiao lay down on the bed and sighed: "It's finally here, my bones are almost falling apart."

Xu Miaoyin smiled helplessly and said, "Get up and wash up first. The food will be served soon."

Qi Jiaojiao got up and washed herself up. As soon as they changed their clothes, they heard a knock on the door. Qi Jiaojiao thought it was the waiter bringing food, so she ran to the door happily. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a wall With a solid chest, she looked up and was about to call out, but the man covered her mouth, pushed her into the house, and closed the door with his backhand.

This happened so fast that Xu Miaoyin didn't react for a while. When she saw who was coming clearly and saw that he was covering Qi Jiaojiao's mouth with one hand and twisting her hand with the other, she quickly said: "Qin Zhan, she She is one of our own, let her go first!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan let go of Qi Jiaojiao, clasped his fists in a respectful salute and said to Xu Miaoyin, "Big girl."

Only the real Qin Zhan would call her that. Xu Miaoyin's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "It's really you! Jiaojiao, is she okay?"

Qin Zhan put down his hand and raised his eyes to look at Xu Miaoyin, his attitude was still respectful, "Jiaojiao is very good. Don't worry, but now is not the time to talk about this. We have to leave here quickly. There is also the master's spy here."

Xu Miaoyin was startled. Did he know her whereabouts so quickly?

Although Qi Jiaojiao on the side had never seen Qin Zhan in person, he had similar facial features to the other Qin Zhan. Coupled with his conversation with Xu Miaoyin, he understood everything. He glanced at Xu Miaoyin, who was still stunned. , turned around and started packing.

Xu Miaoyin watched Qi Jiaojiao packing her things, and then she also came back to her senses and started packing. Fortunately, they didn't have many things, so they packed them up in a while and left the inn with Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan took the two of them along secluded trails. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the three of them left the county and headed towards a dense forest in the north. After passing through the dense forest, they reached the foot of a mountain.

Qin Zhan turned back to the two of them and said, "Let's rest for a while and then start going up the mountain."

Xu Miaoyin nodded, sat on a stone nearby, took a sip of water, and asked, "Do you and Jiaojiao live on the mountain?"

Qin Zhan nodded and glanced at Xu Miaoyin with a slightly unnatural expression, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Xu Miaoyin knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, so she smiled and said: "Qin Zhan, you don't need to be restrained. Jiaojiao has already told me in the letter that she is married to you and now has a two-year-old son." Baby girl."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Qin Zhan suddenly knelt down towards Xu Miaoyin. Although his tone was a little apologetic, he said with great determination: "Although Jiaojiao and I got married without the consent of you and the head of the family, I You can swear that I am absolutely devoted to Jiaojiao, and I have never had any second thoughts!"

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyin stood up and helped him up, and said with a smile: "I have known about your feelings for Jiaojiao for a long time. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you. If you hadn't saved Jiaojiao back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here again. There is no chance to reunite with my family.”

After speaking, he gave Qin Zhan a blessing ceremony.

Qin Zhan was not good at words, but his aunt thanked him with a bow, so he could only avoid it. After a while, he said: "Young lady, there is no need to thank me, that's all what I should do." Qi Jiaojiao stood aside. Seeing this, he became happy and said with a smile: "Sister, he looks so much like the other Qin Zhan, they can't really be brothers! Not only do they have a similar appearance, but they also have the same personality. "

Xu Miaoyin was a little sad, but when Qi Jiaojiao interrupted her, she cast a grateful look and introduced Qin Zhan.

"It's not a coincidence, Qin Zhan, her name is Qi Jiaojiao. If it hadn't been for her this time, I wouldn't have escaped from Yangzhou so quickly."

Qin Zhan nodded to Qi Jiaojiao and said, "The whole story was mentioned in Doctor Lu's letter to me. Thank you very much, Miss Qi, for staying with me." Qin Zhan glanced at Xu Miaoyin and then said, "Help my aunt. Qin is very grateful to be out of trouble."

Qi Jiaojiao thought of someone, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her lips and said, "I followed my sister all the way to join you, and I will ask Brother Qin to take care of her from now on."

Qin Zhan saw that Qi Jiaojiao was not as delicate as other daughters but was very cheerful. This was quite similar to Xu Jiaoyue's temper, so he sincerely agreed. Since it was Xu Miaoyin who brought him, he naturally believed it. .

Xu Miaoyin asked at this time: "How did you know that we had arrived at Jianmen Pass, and how did we come so fast?"

Qin Zhan replied: "Doctor Lu sent me a letter before you got on the boat. He originally planned to wait for you in Jianmen County, but Jiaojiao was worried and asked me to pick you up at Yuzhou Ferry. I'm here I waited for two days at the ferry to see you get off the boat. I originally wanted to go over and meet you, but I found that someone has been following you, and that person is the master’s spy. After I dealt with him, I was afraid that someone else would follow you, so I just I can follow you first. When you arrive in Jianmen County, someone else is following you, so I will deal with him first and make sure there is no one left to take you away. However, I am not sure whether the people who followed you in Yuzhou before will be able to follow you. The information has been sent out, so I can only take you out of the inn first."

As soon as Qin Zhan finished speaking, Qi Jiaojiao said "Ah" and said, "It turns out I was right that day, but this time it was really Qin Zhan."

Xu Miaoyin shook her head with a smile, and said with a smile: "You really need to change your surprise."

Qi Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Uh, take your time, take your time, haha."

Qin Zhan raised his eyes to look at the sky and said, "It's time for us to set off. In the evening, miasma will rise here, and we won't be able to go up the mountain by then."

Xu Miaoyin and Qi Jiaojiao stood up one after another and followed Qin Zhan towards the mountain.

When the three of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, they looked back and saw that the bottom of the mountain had been shrouded in mist. They could only see the treetops of the dense forest and nothing else could be seen.

No wonder Qin Zhan chose such a place to live. It was indeed a good place to hide his whereabouts.

Qin Zhan turned around and saw that the two of them were already out of breath, so he stopped and let them rest for a while.

At this time, a young boy shouted, "Uncle Qin! I'm finally waiting for you!"

Xu Miaoyin heard that the voice sounded familiar, so she looked for the voice and saw an unexpected person.

"Xiao Duo, why are you here?"
