Mingyi woke up from her dream with a start. She couldn't remember what she dreamed about, but she seemed to vaguely hear her father's familiar cry. In the past few days, I mentioned King Jiyang and the Gao family to Xue Lin twice. Just now when I was chatting with Hu Jinyue, I remembered that I was thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night. The dark sky came into view, and the carriage had stopped. She didn't sleep all night last night, and she had to deal with Jinchang Guo again this morning. She was very tired. She fell asleep soon after, and she didn't know how long she had slept. It was getting dark now, and she didn't know where she had gone. She was the only one in the carriage. She combed her hair and was about to get up to take a look when two gentle taps came from outside the carriage wall, "Are you awake?" Then, a familiar porcelain voice came from outside, just two words, "Yes" Xue Lin. Mingyi nodded subconsciously, but later realized that he couldn't be seen outside, and said "hmm" in a low voice. The curtain was then opened, and Xue Lin reached out. The moonlight loomed outside, faintly illuminating the thing he was holding in his hand. It was a suit of dark clothes, which looked the same as those worn by the archers. "Put it on!" Xue Lin said solemnly. Mingyi's mind was completely awake now. She took the clothes and quickly changed into her upper body, adapted to the light in the car, looked around, and then got out. Apart from Xue Lin, there were only a few archers outside the car. Their large group of troops were not there, nor were the Yun'an County defenders, Yang Li, Wei Yu and Hu Jinyue.
They were not beside the official road, but in a mountain col that was sheltered from the wind. There was no fire, only a waning moon in the sky that was half hidden behind thick clouds, making it dim and unclear. Xue Lin looked at her, frowned, and waved to her, "Come here!" Mingyi walked up to him, and he pressed her shoulders and turned her around, then stretched out his hand and took away the hairpin from her head. "What are you doing?" Mingyi was a little flustered and asked hurriedly. "Hold still! Can you wear your hair in a man bun?" The question successfully made Mingyi stop her hand. She has been used to being served by others since she was a child, so she doesn't know how to do it. Xue Lin moved quickly, taking off all the jewelry on her head, rolling it up with a piece of furoshiki, stuffing it into the carriage, loosening her bun and gathering her hair. It was an action he was used to, but he didn't expect that her hair was much smoother than his own. He grabbed this side, and a few hairs on that side slipped down, which made him look a bit clumsy. . "Jin Changguo won't rest assured. He will definitely send someone to follow him secretly." Mingyi had something on her mind and didn't notice that he was in a hurry. "Yes. Don't worry, the carriage has been prepared a long time ago. It was changed when we rested at the inn. We have also prepared substitutes for you and me. Those people don't dare to follow too close and they won't notice." There was a faint fragrance in her hair. , the fragrance hit his nose directly, and seemed to have touched his fingers. Xue Lin frowned slightly and speeded up the tying of her hair. After finally tying her hair, his nose was sweating. "Okay?" Mingyi turned her head, Xue Lin was slightly startled, and quickly removed his hand from her hair, and also looked away. He coughed lightly and replied, "Okay." His voice was inexplicably hoarse. "By the way, the large group of people will go all the way to Beiguan City. We have to hurry up. If everything goes well, it is best to meet them before arriving at Beiguan City." When Xue Lin said these words, he never looked at her. Mingyi nodded and looked at him with a suspicious frown. Why is this man a little strange?
"Okay! Let's go!" After Xue Lin said this, he turned around and walked towards the horse beside him. Behind him, someone came to drive the carriage away, and an archer led a horse to Mingyi. Mingyi didn't say anything, just stepped on the horse. Seeing Xue Lin's horse reining up and galloping, she also hurriedly chased the horse to keep up. The hoofbeats of the horses were muffled, and then she realized that the hoofs of the horses under their crotches were close to each other. They were all wrapped in thick cloth, no wonder the sound of horse hooves was much quieter. Mingyi rushed to catch up with him, but when she was keeping pace with him, he suddenly turned to look at her, "Don't you ask where I want to take you?" Mingyi shook her head, "Don't ask!" "Aren't you afraid that I will take you and sell you?" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. Mingyi smiled brightly back at him, "Sell me? Are you willing to sell me?" When she finished speaking, she clamped her horse's belly and passed him straight ahead, galloping forward. Xue Lin lowered his eyes and chuckled twice, then raised his eyes to look at her. In the night, a powerful horse in black clothes was clearly not a white horse with a silver saddle. It rustled like a shooting star, but it clearly showed two points of heroic spirit. He suddenly hooked Lips, I can’t bear to part with them!
A few people and a few riders galloped along the winding mountain road for almost half an hour under the not-so-bright moonlight before slowing down their horses. Xue Lin had already overtaken Mingyi again. At the front, he stopped his horse. Others stopped too. He put his little finger on his lips and blew a few long and short sounds. The surrounding area was quiet. After a while, several long and short sounds came from not far away. Xue Lin identified the direction. , turned the horse's head, said "let's go", and then rode out again. The mountain road is winding, and it is when the vegetation is lush. The waning moon has completely hidden deep in the clouds at some point. The night is as thick as ink, gathering from the surroundings. It can only be vaguely discerned that they are walking on a trail, almost. After walking close to the mountain for a while, there was faint movement ahead. Mingyi's heart tightened, Xue Lin stopped his horse and watched a few horses walking out of the shadows. "Brother!" The young man's clear voice came from the darkness in front, and it was Xue Tai. Along with him, Yuan Tuo and two archers came, smiling and greeting Mingyi, "Madam, we meet again!" Mingyi suddenly realized that after their brief meeting outside the Yase Department that day, they did not return to Beiguan, but remained hidden in the dark. "How's the detection going?" Xue Lin asked in a deep voice. "We have been exploring for several days, and we can only confirm that it is in this mountain. But the terrain is too complicated, and we dare not go too far in." After several days of no progress, Xue Taishang's young face showed frustration. Come. "It doesn't matter. I told you back then that safety is the most important thing. Besides, I brought my wife with me today. No matter how complicated the terrain is, we can give it a try, right?" Xue Lin turned to look at Mingyi, although the night was thick It was as thick as ink, and his eyes were still burning. "She?" Xue Tai exclaimed, looking at Mingyi with shock and doubt. Yuan Tuo also looked at her in half surprise and half surprise. Mingyi was not surprised, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I knew this trip to Jizhou would not be that simple." He still wanted to test her, this time to see her ability. And she wanted to show him her abilities. Although it was the first time, she felt a little unsure, "What do you want me to do?" "Let's explore the depths of this mountain. We don't know if we can find anything yet, but Madam must ensure that we can find a way out!" Xue Lin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the deep mountain in the dark night. "Okay!" Mingyi thought for a moment and agreed. Xue Tai snorted, as if she was overestimating her abilities. Although Mingyi was a little uneasy, she also had confidence in her eyebrows. She was just recognizing the way, so she was still confident. "Let's go!" Xue Lin shook his horse's reins lightly and walked in front, followed closely by the others. Xue Lin has been walking at the front. It seems that he has been on this road before. Thinking about his whereabouts during the two nights after entering Jizhou, it is probably inseparable from this mountain. It wasn't until they got into a depression that the horse's speed slowed down. Without any instructions, Xue Tai moved to the front to lead the way. After passing the depression and walking for a while, there was a cross slope in front of him, blocking the way. The terrain here is complicated. When she stopped her horse, Mingyi looked back behind her and remembered the terrain and route in her heart. (End of this chapter)
