Chapter 229
The long night passed, and the sky gradually brightened. Su Ruoqi was the first to wake up. Looking at Yunxi curled up in his arms, he felt soft in his heart, so he lowered his head and kissed Yunxi's forehead gently.Unexpectedly, this kiss woke Yun Xi up. She half-opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Su Ruoqi smiled with the corners of her lips curled up. The hand that embraced her tightened unconsciously, and Yun Xi also reached out to hug her. He, absorbing the warmth from his body.The two hugged each other like this for a while. Seeing that Li Ran and his sister were about to wake up, Yunxi felt embarrassed in front of them, so she struggled out of Su Ruoqi's arms. Su Ruoqi knew what she was thinking, He could only smile dotingly.

The sky was bright, and the warm wind was blowing gradually. Li Ran rubbed his eyes and realized that it was already dawn, so he pushed his sister to wake her up. The two children stood up and finished sorting their clothes, only to realize that Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi had been together for a long time. When he woke up, he smiled embarrassedly.

Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi didn't mind, and gave them dry food.Li Ran took it and thanked them, then broke it and gave it to his younger sister. The two of them were probably very hungry, and they devoured it.

Seeing their appearance, Su Ruoqi felt that they had been wronged, and that Yunxi had lived this kind of life with him recently, he felt guilty, and couldn't help but lower his head with a sad expression.But who is Yun Xi, with sharp eyes, and she is close to Su Ruoqi, how can she not see that he is sad at this moment?
Yun Xi tugged at Su Ruoqi's sleeve, Su Ruoqi looked up and saw Yun Xi's smiling face.

"Ruoqi, where should we go next?" Yun Xi actually had a plan in her heart, she wanted to hear how Su Ruoqi made his decision, and used this to make Su Ruoqi think so much.

Li Ran and Li Lin, brothers and sisters, had already had their fill, so they came over as soon as they heard this, and stared at them with wide eyes, which made Yunxi laugh twice, and stretched out her hand to rub their heads.

"Next, we're going to plan properly." Su Ruoqi's eyes were full of thought, he already had a plan, and he just wanted to discuss it with Yunxi.

"Quickly tell me." Yun Xi widened her eyes, expecting Su Ruoqi to tell her plan, she wanted to know if Su Ruoqi had the same idea as her own.

"The road on the border that Xu Wei is guarding, we must never go there." Su Ruoqi looked at Yun Xi and got a satisfactory answer.

"Why?" Li Lin was too young to understand these things.

"Silly sister, the queen will definitely think that we will go to the border guarded by General Xu Wei, and will definitely send many people to chase and kill us on the road, so we must not take that road." Li Ran is smart, and he understood immediately It made sense, he reached out and knocked on Li Lin's head, with a look of hating iron but not steel.

Su Ruoqi and Yunxi looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words. They both saw the recognition of Li Ran in each other's eyes. Obviously, Li Ran is a talent to be made, and they did not misjudge him.

Li Ran saw the meaning in the eyes of the two of them, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Then which way shall we go next?" Li Ran asked.After all, he is not from the Xia Kingdom, and he doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of the terrain and territory of the Xia Kingdom, so he doesn't know which way to go.

"The farthest and most remote way," Yunxi and Su Ruoqi said in unison, "the road with the most complicated terrain!" After saying that, the two actually laughed, because they had a tacit understanding.

"Wouldn't it take more time to take such a path?" Li Ran was puzzled, he thought he could take a small path, not such a bumpy one.

"No, even if it takes three months to get there, we still have to choose that road." Su Ruoqi replied calmly.

"But in this case, wouldn't it be easier for the queen's pursuers to find us?" Li Lin asked again. She was still a child, so naturally she couldn't think so much.

"If we take such a bumpy road, the four of us would be fast. Instead, we don't want the Queen's pursuers. They are all big men and there are a lot of people. Naturally, they can't catch up with us, and because of the rough terrain, the number of people will be too high." The large number slows down the speed of hunting us down, but it will give us more time to leave." This time, before Li Ran could give her sister an answer, Yun Xi spoke first.

"Yes, we must speed up our journey, and the sooner we stay away from the capital, the better!" Su Ruoqi's eyes flashed fiercely.

The four of them decided on the route to take and the future deployment, and hurried on the road. The four of them were in a hurry, but regardless of the bumpy road, the complicated terrain, and the difficulty of moving forward, they used all their strength to move forward.

Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi knew that if they were chased by the pursuers halfway, all their previous efforts would be in vain, and the people of Xia Kingdom would soon live a life worse than death.Li Ran and Li Lin brothers and sisters know that success or failure depends on one action. Since they chose Su Ruoqi and Yunxi, they must do their best to follow them!

And the four of them were in a hurry along the way, and they couldn't bear it, even Su Ruoqi couldn't bear it, but he didn't say it out loud, and Yun Xi and Li Ran also kept their discomfort in their hearts, so it wasn't a serious problem.But Li Lin is different, she is only a child in her teens, how can she endure such a trek without food and shelter, and the environment is not good, food and lodging are greatly restricted, Li Lin is a girl, physically Naturally, he was weaker, and because he lived by begging with his elder brother some time ago, his body had already suffered a blow, but after a long journey, he soon fell ill.

The three of them saw that Li Lin couldn't take it anymore, so they decided to rest for a night first, and Li Ran was also full of worries.

"Sister, sister..." The little boy squatted, hugged his sister in his arms, and cried out repeatedly, his face full of worry.

On the other hand, Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi were full of helplessness. They already knew that there would be a difficult future to face. If they brought such a child with them, there would definitely be a lot of inconvenience.Although Li Ran and Li Lin were very obedient and well-behaved during this period of time, and the two of them appreciated Li Ran's intelligence, but Li Lin held them back a lot.

They had long felt that it would be inconvenient to take this ten-year-old little sister with them, but they had promised Li Ran from the very beginning that they would take him and his sister with them and take them in.

Yun Xi has always been soft-hearted, she knew that if she left them at this time, if the Queen's pursuers found the two of them, they would be in danger.There are two reasons for Su Ruoqi's reluctance to abandon them. First, Su Ruoqi admired Li Ran very much. In addition, they have promised to take them with them, and he, Su Ruoqi, is not someone who likes to go back on his word.
