Chapter 65 Escape
Xie Yuan tightened his grip on the reins, without looking at him, and whispered: "Please advise my parents for me, Liu Zhen, thank you."
"...What are you trying to persuade?" Shen Liuzhen asked subconsciously, with a smile on his face and slight dimples on his cheeks. Just as he was about to open the letter, he saw Xie Yuan's figure flash out from the corner of his eye.
When he looked up again, Xie Yuan was carrying a package on his shoulders and was riding a horse far away from the team. Only a determined back could be seen.
"A Yuan...where are you going!" Shen Liuzhen was a little confused and quickly pulled the reins and shouted to her.
At this time, no one knew what Xie Yuan's move meant.
When the Xie family couple saw Xie Yuan running out, they didn't think about anything else. They subconsciously felt that Xie Yuan's restless and trouble-making temper was out again.
Father Xie also shouted at her retreating back: "...A Yuan! Why are you running around at this time?! Come back quickly!"
But Xie Yuan galloped on his horse without any response or even turning his head.
At this time, Shen Liuzhen finally realized that something was wrong and quickly opened the letter, only to see a few words written above:
"Father, mother, the child is unfilial. Although the hairpin ring and the dress are nice, they are like golden shackles, weighing me down. After thinking about it, I would rather die standing than live on my knees. If I have the opportunity to tell my father and mother that they are safe, Yuan."
Shen Liuzhen was stunned. He quickly handed the letter to his father Xie and chased after him on horseback:
"A Yuan! Where are you going alone! Come back quickly!"
After reading the letter left by Xie Yuan, the Xie family and his wife realized that Xie Yuan was not causing any trouble this time, but was running away from home, and they suddenly panicked.
Mrs. Xie just called her name twice in a hurry and fainted. While supporting her, Father Xie also asked his subordinates to chase after her...
Father Xie turned pale with fright and was trembling all over.
Xie Yuan is so courageous... Although she has been naughty and restless since she was a child, getting into trouble everywhere, she never imagined that one day she would run away from home.
There are wars going on everywhere and people are in dire straits. She ran away alone. Is it okay?
…
…
"A Yuan... A Yuan..." Shen Liuzhen rode back to the city, but there were people coming and going on the street and there were many houses. Where was Xie Yuan's shadow?
He could only call her name over and over again, recalling in his mind the words she said before leaving, saying thank you to him?
Thank him for what? When did he encourage her to run away from home? Doesn't she know what a street child lives like?
Aren't the experiences of Guan Yifei and Xun Ya enough to make her worry?
"A Yuan..." Shen Liuzhen stood at the street intersection blankly, crying sadly. His eyes were blurred with tears, and he couldn't see the street scene clearly, and he couldn't even find Xie Yuan's shadow.
Liu Qinbing stopped beside him and watched the other members of the Xie family running past, searching aimlessly.
He was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he said:
"Lang Jun, we still have to go to the camp. If we are late, we may bring trouble to the entire Xie family. Let's go quickly. The Xie family will try their best to find someone. Maybe by the time we get to the camp, Xie Yuan will have found him. .”
Shen Liuzhen's tears rolled down from his eyes and he said:
"She is just waiting for this moment, waiting to send me out of the city. My family is taking care of me, but they can't take care of her..."
He was unwilling to search in the crowd for a long time... Far away, even further away, something a little like Xie Yuan could make his heart beat excitedly, but after a closer look, he found that it was not her, and his hope fell into the abyss. , empty.
…
…
Shen Liuzhen and the others passed by the West City Gate, and she then rode into the city on horseback. In order to avoid the search of the Xie family, she even led the horse into an inn and waited for them to run past. Under the strange look of the waiter who greeted guests at the inn, he took the horse out again, mounted it and headed straight for the North City Gate.
She felt a fire in her heart, fearing that if she stayed for a moment longer, the timidity in her heart would take over. She hesitated, then comforted herself, and finally returned home obediently, telling herself that it was so dangerous outside, so she should just bear with it.
She didn't want to do this, so she allowed the fire to burn her reason, urging her steps, and she was actively escaping from the city and her own visible destiny every moment.
The moment the horse left the North City Gate at high speed, she still felt that a rope was tied to her heart. At the other end of the rope was her home where she had no worries about food and clothing, and the comfort of being sheltered from the wind and rain.
But when she rode her horse and passed by the refugee camp outside the city, she saw that the new house they had worked so hard to build had turned into ruins, turned into a shack that was not much different from before, and Xunya died tragically.
The rope in her heart suddenly broke with a "snap".
He headed north without hesitation.
At this time, Shen Liuzhen was urged by Xie's father to go to the camp. When they parted, they were at a loss because of the panic that Xie Yuan was missing. They couldn't think of anything to say, so they separated.
They were going to find Xie Yuan, but he himself was even more uneasy because he couldn't go there in person or stay to hear the news. So when Shi Yu Foli's Zhong Chang Shi came over to pick him up, he was sobbing again. Choking and wiping tears.
The eunuch looked at him with disgust and said, "Hey, what's going on? Like a cat that hasn't been weaned?"
Shen Liuzhen heard what he said and got out of his own world of worry and sadness. He quickly wiped away his tears as soon as he raised his head and said respectfully:
"Lord Chang Shi..." He was just halfway through his words when the soldiers from the camp came out of the camp in orderly steps. The sound of footsteps and the sound of swords drowned out the words behind him.
This regular attendant beside Shi Yu Fo Li was named Zong Ai. In his early years, he found the dying Shi Yu Fo Li during a melee and carried him out of the battlefield, saving the life of the young emperor at that time. , so he can almost be regarded as the person Shi Yu Foli trusts most.
He didn't hear what Shen Liuzhen said after that, and he didn't care. He just saw that he was very respectful and didn't have as much disgust as before. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come with me." .”
Shen Liuzhen cheered up, followed Zong Ai in an orderly manner, and boarded the dragon chariot that had been parked aside for a long time.
After Shen Liuzhen went up, without raising his head, he knelt down directly at the door and said:
"See Your Majesty."
"Well, it's okay... I came on time." Shi Yu Foli leaned on the spacious car. Today, he has taken off his armor and is wearing soft clothes. He is less aggressive and more angry than when we met that day. Shen Liuzhen was kind, but still overwhelmed by his burly figure and aura of superiority, feeling that he had invaded his place, and couldn't help but want to step back.
His knees scraped against the wooden board and he took two steps back. He was stuck on the edge of the carriage and almost fell over.
