Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 167 Fanwai (1)

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, fragrant grass...

In the whole day with withered yellow as the tone, two people and two horses, one on the left and one on the right, are leading their horses forward on this barren mountain road.

Li Zhu looked to the left, then to the right, and before and after... "Master, are you sure you want to continue walking this way?"

At this time, they had been away for nearly a month. In order to avoid being found by the people sent by the palace, Xiao Xi had been leading him in remote and remote directions.

No, now we come to the barren mountains and mountains where there are no villages before and no shops behind.

It would be fine to say that this is a barren mountain and wild ridge, but there are few people around, even the chirping of a couple of birds, Li Zhu has never heard it.

If this continues, I don't know where it will end up.

The dry rations and water that were carried with him were running out, and if they were not replenished in time, it would be miserable.

Xiao Xi raised her hand and gathered the men's robes on her body. She was a girl who dressed in women's clothes, even after wearing men's clothes for more than a month, she was still not used to it.

It is not an exaggeration to look at the road ahead, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow path. After all, even this main road is covered with withered and yellow weeds, and it is no longer a road.

"master?"

"Okay, there's a lot of nonsense, of course we'll continue." Xiao Xi led the horse and walked two steps faster, got on the horse and moved forward. "Get out of the way for me and go behind."

Seeing that the sun has already started to set in the west, if it drags on, it will definitely continue to sleep in this barren mountain.

Xiao Xi galloped away, but Li Zhuwei followed.

The two people who left in a hurry did not find the two human heads drilled out of the small hill in the woods beside them.

Head One: "Oh, it seems that the eldest brother asked us to stay here today, I didn't expect two sheep to come."

The second head: "Well, big brother has a clever plan, let's go, we have to lead the way, otherwise we will go away blindly, and it will be a big loss."

Head One: "Okay, let's go quickly, we have to get to the front."

The two of them retracted their sneaky medicine, and the second head came out again, exclaiming in a low voice: "Oh! This guy is really going to have a big hair today. Look, there is another sheep. Look at how well dressed he is. Those two in front are worse."

"But you see that he is carrying a sword with his back. I'm afraid he is not easy to provoke?"

"It's not easy to provoke, huh! When it comes to our territory, if you can't afford it, you can afford it."

The two heads disappeared, and a tall horse was walking leisurely along the path that Xiao Xi and Li Zhu passed by just now.

Lying on the horse's back was a man dressed like a wanderer in the rivers and lakes. The man's face was as handsome as jade, and a short knife and a long sword were hung on the horse's back.

Follow the horse's walking, flickering.

The man took a jug of wine and drank it all the way, stopped drinking from time to time and praised, "The country is so beautiful, it has provoked countless heroes to bow down. Good wine, good wine!"

With a sip of wine in his intestines and a spin, the man was already sitting on the horseback, staring at the small hill in the forest beside him with a pair of dark eyes.

He said in a low voice: "Xi'er, Xi'er, you have to get ready tonight. I want you to re-acquaint yourself with your future man, what kind of person is he?"

Yes, this man is Wei Wei.

The man who has become her tail since she met Xiao Xi, the man who has regarded her as the only woman in her life since she was a child, and the man who has always been treated like a brother by her.

He Wei Wei wants Xiao Xi to know that he Wei Wei is her destined destination in this life.

When he was more than five years old, one day his father went to the morning court and took him with him.Then my father went to the meeting hall, and he stayed in the carriage for some unknown reason, waiting for a long time, so long that he couldn't help but fell asleep.

When he woke up again, his father led him into the depths of the palace.

The first time he walked through the city walls and lifeless avenues, he secretly made up his mind that he would never enter an official career in this life, and never enter this seemingly majestic but lifeless imperial palace again.

Until he was brought by his father to meet the owner of the palace, the emperor and empress.

Until he was brought by his father to meet the future owner of the palace, Her Royal Highness.

He didn't hesitate to destroy the promise he made to himself before, just for Xiao Xi.

That little girl with big round eyes.

The little guy who smiles like spring flowers blooming.

That Royal Highness who is far more skinny than a boy.

That little Xi'er, regardless of gender, clamored everywhere that she wanted to be a good man like her father.

From then on, he stuck to Xiao Xi'er's side whenever he had time, and became a veritable tail of the imperial concubine.

What a big event it is for the queen to leave the palace.

If he, Wei Wei, hadn't shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting Xi'er, how could the emperor and queen have allowed Xiao Xi to continue wandering outside.

Yes, from the moment Xiao Xi left the palace, Wei Wei knew about it.

Because, he watched Xiao Xi encourage Li Zhu to leave the palace to find his mother.These two people sneaked away under his nose.

The emperor and empress wanted to immediately send someone to capture Xiao Xi back to the palace, but because of his persuasion and promise, they changed their policy.

He personally led the dark guards to follow Xiao Xi around the rivers and lakes.

But such a great opportunity, how could he give up and just follow in secret.

Xi'er, Xi'er, I don't know if the classic mode of hero saving the beauty can capture your heart?
Wei Wei took out a black gauze and gray gauze curtain that he wanted to superimpose from nowhere, put it on, and covered his handsome face in it, then swung his whip and ran towards the direction where Xiao Xi had just left with his horse.

The night quietly climbed up the hillside, and the deep and silent old forest was pitch black. Only a lantern was hung in front of the house made of wood all day long, and only then did it get a glimmer of light.

And each lantern on this lantern is pasted with a large character, which together means "Lonely Forest Inn".

Five figures walked to the door of the house, and two slightly wretched-looking men led the way to greet them.

"Come, come, sir, we are here, this is our inn." A tall, but slightly thin man said with a smile.

Another short and stocky man immediately agreed: "Guests, don't look at the outside of our inn, but the decoration inside is unique within a hundred miles."

Well, this is true.

The man wearing a veil standing at the end nodded and thought: This is the only exclusive inn within a hundred miles, and it is unique.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of this person stepped forward with a sad face and grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of him, whispering: "Master, it's gloomy here, let's go."

The boy's master glanced back at the mysterious man behind them, raised his head and said, "Who are you going to go! You don't even look at this deep mountain and dry forest. If you and I meet those hungry beasts in the wild, Tell me, can you completely guarantee the safety of your master?"

Hearing the words, the young man frowned and thought carefully.

His master continued to whisper: "Besides, even if this is a black shop, there is still a man here. You see, he is equipped with a knife and a sword. He must be a peerless master. If there is any danger at that time, we If we can’t beat him, then we’ll just rely on him.”

After listening to his master's analysis, the young man's eyes flicked and flicked on this mysterious man before he nodded.

But what he thought was... If it is really impossible to escape death, it is always better to put someone on the back.

The corners of his lips curled up under the curtain, and he looked at the young master, the woman he had identified, Xiao Xi with admiration.

It turns out that my Xi'er is not stupid, um, not bad, rotten wood can be carved.

These three guest officials are Xiao Xi, Li Zhu and Wei Wei.

Xiao Xi and Li Zhu first met the two Xiaosi who were waiting on the road, and they went up to ask how far it was to the next village or town, and then they were fooled by these two people into staying in their shop.

In the mountains and wild mountains, Xiao Xi is not stupid, so he took precautions on the spot, intending to refuse.Then Wei Wei appeared out of the sky on a horse, and directly asked the two Xiaosi to lead the way to the hotel.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xiao Xi looked at the mysterious man carefully, and came together resolutely.
