Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 789 Arriving in the North
After packing up their things, Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen went out of the palace together, and went to Ye Yi's grave to light a stick of incense for her.

The tombstone has become a bit old after nearly a year.

Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen stood in front of the grave, holding hands, and stood quietly for a while.

As the sun was setting, Zhao Yuanxiang said softly to her: "I am living a very good life now, you must be well over there, and I will come to see you again when we return to Beijing."

As soon as her words fell, a gust of breeze blew over, just like Ye Yi's answer.

Zhao Yuanxiang's eyes moistened slightly, he turned around and said, "Let's go."

Xuanyuan Chen held her hand tightly, clasped his fingers tightly, and walked away slowly side by side with her.

The setting sun reflected golden-red light on half of the sky, stretching the figures of the two people to a long distance. The tomb behind them stood there quietly, watching them gradually go away.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen set off, along with Yue Lu and Du Ruo.

Four people, three horses.

Xuanyuan Chen led Zhao Yuanxiang to ride together, Du Ruo and Yue Lu followed far behind, fearing that they would be disturbed if they got too close.

Zhao Yuanxiang had been wearing a veil when he was on the official road, and when he got off the official road, where there were few people, she took off the veil.

But although there were few people, it was not that there was no one there. Along the way, Zhao Yuanxiang was stared at by several strange eyes.

Xuanyuan Chen was so angry that he wanted to get off his horse and beat him up, Zhao Yuanxiang finally stopped him, and had to put on the veil again.

At dusk, they stopped in a nearby town to rest before continuing their journey the next day.

After such a [-]-day journey, they arrived in the north.

This place belongs to the territory of Liuzhou, and the plague broke out in a place called Anping Village in Liuzhou at the beginning.

Zhao Yuanxiang and the others went directly to Mingcheng, planning to find Liuzhou prefect Wang Yihuan.

The plague has not yet spread to Ming City, but people here are already in panic.In broad daylight, there were only a few pedestrians on the streets of the city.Moreover, they all lowered their heads, covered their mouths and noses with cloth, and walked quickly, as if something was chasing them behind them.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and the few shops that were not closed had their doors only ajar.There are no hawkers on the street, let alone the sound of anyone talking.

Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen rode on horseback and entered the city unimpeded, what they saw was such a bleak scene.

They walked on the street for a long time, trying to find someone to ask where the prefect's mansion was, but they didn't stop anyone.No matter who it is, as soon as they greet them, they run away as if they have seen a ghost.

"What's the matter with this prefect Wang?" Xuanyuan Chen was a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "There is not even a team of patrolling officials, and the whole street is full of ghosts, and those who don't know it think they have come to Feng Woolen cloth!"

Zhao Yuanxiang smiled and said: "Don't be angry, if we look around again, the prefect's mansion will definitely not be too small. You don't need to ask anyone, we will definitely find it."

Her tone was gentle and slow, with a soothing power.The trace of unhappiness in Xuanyuan Chen's heart dissipated in an instant, he held her hand, and said, "That's the only way to go."

They walked forward for a while, and suddenly, the pile of sundries beside them made some movement.

The two turned their heads to look in surprise, and saw an old man in ragged clothes coming out from behind the sundries, still yawning.
