Yue Huaiyu stood aside blankly, feeling a little redundant.
At the same time, he wondered how Yin Xiao got here.
The documents of sea arrests are hung up everywhere, and they are inspected in the villages. Ten households are called Jia, and ten Jia are the guarantors. If they see anyone acting suspiciously, they will be questioned.
What's more, Tanzhou City is densely populated, and everyone has a pair of sharp eyes. Even if Yinxiao goes to buy a steamed bun, he will be reported.
I didn't expect that the small Song family could have such capable people.
Song Huiyue returned from the battle and said, "I'm right here. Go tell Brother Bazha and ask the prince to pick me up in person."
"yes."
"Aniang and the others...thanks to you, are you injured?"
Being able to escape from that fire must be attributed to Yin Xiao. He must have been exhausted after enduring it like an eagle until now.
"No." Yinxiao let the cold wind slap her back, bowed her back again and again, and lowered her head.
Song Huiyue touched his head: "Okay, let's go."
Yin Xiao lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, and quickly retreated into the darkness, then looked back in the darkness.
Song Huiyue was still standing there, the injuries on her face were horrifying, but there was a gentle light in her eyes as she watched him leave.
Yin Xiao returned to Xie's house quietly.
The Xie family was no longer busy late at night, and only the smell of medicine floated in the humid air.
When Xie Zhou heard the news about Song Huiyue's safety, he finally had a smile on his face. He took Yin Xiao to the kitchen, took out a bowl from the wooden bucket and gave it to Yin Xiao, and then opened the three plates that were fastened: "
Fast food."
On the plate are chestnut braised pork, rotten steamed lamb, and pickled cucumber stems.
Yinxiao didn't take the bowl, but directly took the barrel and started to devour it.
Before meeting Song Huiyue, he could not feel hungry. After meeting Song Huiyue, he was so hungry that he felt like he could eat a cow.
Xie Zhou smiled while holding the bowl. He changed the bowl and scooped out another bowl of chicken soup for Yin Xiao.
"It's okay. The two siblings finally found one." He thought of Song Qinghui, and his smile disappeared again. "There is no news at the dock. It's so wrong. Regardless of whether we went to Doctor Gu or not, there should be traces left.
.”
But now, Song Qinghui seemed to have disappeared out of thin air on the water, and even the boat he was riding on did not appear at the docks along the way.
Yin Xiao said nothing, only immersed himself in eating hard.
Just after Yinxiao finished eating, there were footsteps outside the kitchen. It was Xie Chuan.
Yin Xiao put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Xian."
Xie Chuan nodded to him: "Don't be too polite, sit down and talk."
He also brought a pen and ink: "You are one of our own, so we won't hide it from you. Counting the time, the prince should still be away for nearly two days. It's just that the trouble in Tanzhou City is like this. If the prince doesn't show up, there will be trouble."
They're here, go and send a message to the prince and ask him to return as soon as possible."
Yin Xiao did not answer his words, but asked: "Does Mr. Xie have any prescription for removing scars?"
Xie Zhou interjected: "What do you want this for?"
"The eldest lady is hurt."
His words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made the Xie family's father and son stunned on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xie Zhou was young and had a bit of a young master's temper. After staying here, he immediately became angry and said with a gloomy look on his face: "Dad, please find someone to kill Zhang Xutang."
"Nonsense!" Xie Chuan also came to his senses, scolded him, and turned to look at Xie Zhou, "When the prince first opened the palace, he fell on the palace and was scratched by a stone on his chin. The palace prescribed plaster.
When I came out, after the prince recovered, he specifically asked the imperial doctor to read the prescription and told me that it could be sold! The prince must remember it!"
After saying that, he took the paper and pen, dotted some drawings on it, dried the ink and handed it to Yin Xiao: "Your Majesty, you are always walking on narrow paths. Use the crescent moon as a secret sign, so be careful!"
After Yin Xiao took it, he hesitated to speak, and just warned again: "Be careful!"
Maybe he wanted Yin Xiao to be careful not to reveal his whereabouts, or maybe he wanted Yin Xiao to be careful not to reveal King Jin's whereabouts.
Yin Xiao hid a sharp knife in his sleeve, and took Xie Zhou's official knife, and walked to a quiet place. After leaving the city, he started on his way attentively.
Xie Chuan's paintings are all mountain trails. The mountain roads are vast and only one person wide. A horse cannot go up them at all, so he has to rely on his two legs to climb.
He ran non-stop. At the beginning, the mountain road was very flat, and there were people living halfway up the mountain. Vegetable fields and paddy fields were mixed together in all directions. At the back, the people were completely gone, and the trees became thicker and denser, with grass feet
Half a man tall.
According to the points drawn by Xie Zhou, he found the secret mark left by King Jin and his party.
The mark is simple, just a crescent moon carved randomly on the rough bark of the tree with a knife, and it is higher than the head. People walking on the mountain road tend to lower their heads more than raise their heads, so it is easily ignored.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the mountains are completely shrouded in darkness, there is no way for the moonlight to penetrate, and you can't see your fingers in the mountains. The wind is wet and cold, and occasionally there are two weird "gurgling" sounds, which send a chill straight into people's hearts.
The terror of the night did not interrupt Yinxiao's footsteps. With the faint light of the sky, he continued to identify the secret signs and climbed over the mountains and ridges.
Han Beiqu's training ground was darker and more silent than here. He trained them, taught them, and at the same time killed them.
There were pains in his back. He was tired from running, his body felt exhausted, and he was in a daze for a moment.
Just for a moment, he saw a black figure standing in front of him. He was very thin, his face was blurry, and he couldn't even see his clothes clearly. However, he knew who this person was.
It’s Hanbei Qu!
Yin Xiao tried her best to stay awake and wiped this illusion from her eyes.
Han Beiqu died, very thoroughly. He cut Han Beiqu's neck with his own hands and did not leave until he died.
But even though he knew it was an illusion, he was still afraid.
The fear had penetrated deeply into his bones and could come up anytime, anywhere, without warning, suddenly, leaving him with no peace of mind.
Both of his legs began to tremble, but he could not stop, and he did not even dare to blink his eyes.
Once you close your eyes and rest, you will be swallowed up by death.
The smell of blood came out of his throat, and his chest felt like it was going to explode at any moment. He thought he was running wildly, but in fact, his speed was getting slower and slower, and his body was so heavy that he was about to sink into the ground.
When the golden light of the morning sun pierced the clouds and fell in his eyes, he saw You Song.
"Zhang Xutang burns Tanzhou - the eldest lady is in trouble, let the prince go to pick her up at Fu's village!"
After he finished speaking, he staggered and began to fall down.
"Go and invite the prince!" You Song looked horrified and reached out to pick up Yin Xiao. However, the moment he touched Yin Xiao, Yin Xiao suddenly made a move, and the sharp knife in his hand accurately slashed You Song's neck.
"Are you crazy?" You Song blocked him almost subconsciously, but Yinxiao's offensive did not stop.
He strikes hard and violently, not guarding himself, only attacking others.
Only then did You Song realize that his eyes were closed.
All his actions are no longer thought through, they are all based on the unforgettable memory, and he goes all out, regardless of his life.
You Song fought him twice, and his companion took the opportunity to come in and hit Yin Xiao on the head from behind, knocking him unconscious.
