This was the first time for the two of them to go on the road alone. No one was harassing them, so they had to laugh and play a lot on the way. It took nearly a month to get to Lin'an.
The day we arrived at the city gate happened to be the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and every household put up window grilles, pasted couplets, and set off firecrackers, making it very lively.
Seeing the familiar city gate right in front of her, Leng Changxi felt a surge of emotion in her heart, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday's events were like a passing cloud. For her, those rights and wrongs were all gone. Whether she had loved or hated her, they were all relieved. When she thought about it again, it felt like she had just dreamed.
She leaned towards Chen Shaoxuan again. Chen Shaoxuan's heart tightened and he glanced at her with some worry. But Leng Changxi raised her eyes and gave him a relieved smile.
Then, Chen Shaoxuan understood.
When the carriage clattered closer and closer to the city gate, Leng Changxi realized that something seemed not quite right.
"Shaoxuan, look at why there are so many people at the city gate, as if they are checking something." Leng Changxi sat up from his arms, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Chen Shaoxuan's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of cruelty flashed across his eyes.
"Is it possible that the New Year is coming, so we need to strictly check the entry and exit?" Leng Changxi frowned, seeming to be talking to herself, or asking Chen Shaoxuan.
However, Chen Shaoxuan remained silent and quietly slowed down the carriage.
"I'll go take a look." Leng Changxi felt more and more uneasy in her heart. She couldn't wait for the carriage to reach the city gate, so she jumped off the carriage and ran towards the city gate, while Chen Shaoxuan drove the carriage to a place on the roadside.
Stop in a sparsely populated area.
The city gate is noisy and is now surrounded by groups of guards. Those who want to enter must be interrogated. Women must show their right arm and check carefully before allowing entry. These people seem to be
As if looking for someone.
Looking at this scene, Leng Changxi's heart went cold. Her left hand quietly climbed up her right arm and touched it gently.
Then, she saw a group of people surrounding the notice board next to the city gate. Through the dissatisfied noise, Leng Changxi seemed to hear that they were arresting a wanted criminal.
Consciously, she walked step by step towards the crowd. As she got closer, her heart began to beat wildly, and the bad premonition became stronger.
When she separated from the crowd and saw the two familiar faces on the wanted list, she took a breath, froze suddenly, and turned pale. She gently touched her face with her hand, and she finally understood why Shaoxuan insisted on giving birth to a child this time.
She put on the face of an ordinary village woman, and he himself also put on the mask of a simple and honest farmer.
The faces of her and Chen Shaoxuan were clearly on the yellow wanted list, and their names were written below. The reason for the wanted list was that Chen Shaoxuan had betrayed his country and collaborated with the enemy, and kidnapped Miss Leng's family and escaped from Lin'an. At this moment, there was a massive search across the country.
Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded heavily.
It is said that Chen Shaoxuan is good at disguise, and the only thing that can distinguish the two is a red mole on Leng Changxi's right arm.
No wonder, every woman who enters the city must open her sleeves for inspection. Even though this is unethical, it must be done.
Moving her eyes to the end of the wanted list, Leng Changxi's face suddenly condensed when she looked at the last release date - this date was exactly one month ago!
She walked out of the crowd with a sullen face and lowered her head. When she passed the guards, she couldn't help but speed up her steps.
Chen Shaoxuan looked at Leng Changxi's cold face from a distance, and he suddenly understood something in his heart, his eyes twinkling slightly.
Leng Changxi walked to the car, flew to sit next to Chen Shaoxuan, took the reins from his hand, and started to turn around without saying a word.
Seeing this, Chen Shaoxuan hurriedly pulled the reins. Only then did he realize that her hands were trembling slightly. He frowned and said, "Little Bao'er, what's wrong?"
Leng Changxi held the reins tightly in her hands and refused to let go. She felt uneasy in her heart and her eyes were red with anxiety.
Seeing that Leng Changxi's breath was getting more and more unstable, Chen Shaoxuan felt worried. He lightly struck the back of her hand with his knife, grabbed her reins and said, "Little Bao'er, calm down."
Leng Changxi turned around angrily and got into the carriage. Chen Shaoxuan sighed silently and followed her into the carriage.
"Little Bao'er..." Chen Shaoxuan entered the carriage and saw Leng Changxi sitting in the carriage with her legs folded, her head buried between her knees.
He felt a little distressed and stepped forward to hug her into his arms.
But Leng Changxi twisted her body, as if to resist, and turned her back to Chen Shaoxuan.
Chen Shaoxuan sighed and wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.
After a long time, Leng Changxi's choked voice came with a bit of annoyance: "Did you already know this?"
At this time, Leng Changxi remembered Yu Feng's troubled expression and Yun Niang's words when she was at the inn, and she felt extremely guilty in her heart.
Chen Shaoxuan let out a long sigh, paused for a moment, and hummed softly: "Yes."
"Then you knew they were arresting you, but you didn't tell me and still ran back! Do you want your life?" Leng Changxi suddenly became angry when she heard the sound. She turned around anxiously and angrily and beat Chen Shaoxuan desperately.
But Chen Shaoxuan didn't say anything and let her vent her energy on him. It wasn't until Leng Changxi ran out of energy that he gently hugged her into his arms, sighed silently and said, "Because Ling is kind and harmonious."
Lingfeng is very important to you, and I don’t want you to have any regrets because of me. I said, as long as it is what you want, I will get it for you, as long as it is where you want to go, I will
Stay with you."
These simple words were so touching to Leng Changxi's ears. This man was really stupid!
She fell into Chen Shaoxuan's arms and burst into tears.
After a long time, he sobbed and said: "Are you a fool? You have never thought about whether this could be a trap? You released the news about Lingshan and Lingfeng just to lure us into taking the bait! Why didn't you tell me in advance?
?”
"I told you, will you still come?" Chen Shaoxuan asked, patting her back gently.
"No, absolutely not." Leng Changxi refused without thinking. If she had known this, she would never have agreed to Chen Shaoxuan's risk.
