Chapter three hundred and ninth hidden whereabouts
Shangguan Wanning took a few big steps by the strong murderous aura, and a cold light flashed, making her unable to help but close her eyes.
Just as her scalp was numb, a few shrill screams came from her ears. A strong arm blocked her waist and jumped up to escape from the room.
Shangguan Wanning was still in shock, struggled a few times, and looked closely and found that the person who saved her was Huo Gang.
She was surprised and happy. "Brother Huo?"
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's leave first."
Huo Gang acted decisively and took Shangguan Wanning to the stable.
At this time, Shangguan Wanning realized that the station was already in chaos. There were flames spreading and people fleeing everywhere.
She looked around and searched for her entourage.
"Don't worry, their martial arts are good, so it's absolutely fine to protect yourself." Huo Gang saw through Shangguan Wanning's thoughts.
He found that this was such a kind girl. Although she was born noble, she never had a condescending attitude.
"If you are away, if you are separated, you will definitely have a contact code. As long as they are still alive, they will come to you."
Shangguan Wanning had no choice but to listen to Huo Gang's persuasion, he left a secret code and rode his horse to leave the post station.
The two of them did not go too far, but instead found a leeward slope to sit down. In order not to expose their whereabouts, they did not dare to light a bonfire to keep warm in the middle of the night.
The dim moonlight shines down, and the evening breeze is a little cool.
"Brother Huo, why are you here?"
Huo Gang sighed heavily.
The familiar land in Southeast Prefecture brought him a lot of pain, but he still had something to worry about after all.
Maybe it's unwillingness, maybe it's unforgettable, or maybe...
Huo Gang told himself that he should repay Shangguan Wanning's grace of saving his life and his grace of knowing his grace.
So, for the first time he ignored Su Mo's cry and pursued him.
Seeing that Huo Gang had no intention of answering, Shangguan Wanning stopped trying to force her and changed her topic.
"Who is the one who started killing at the post station? He is so brave that he dares to kill and set fire in the government."
"They are bandits fifty miles away from here. However, in the world, their reputation is not too bad, because he only robbed wealthy businessmen from the past, not civilians. Moreover, even if he robbed wealthy businessmen, he would not
He hurts people and leaves them with money to go home.”
This is the first time Shangguan Wanning has heard of such a bandit.
But robbery is robbery. No matter who you rob, it is always wrong.
But Shangguan Wanning didn't say this. She knew that the thinking of people in the world was different from her.
"When I arrived at the inn tonight, I saw the escort flag of the Shuntian Escort Agency. I had heard people say that the Shuntian Escort Agency specially delivered goods for the government. I think the things they escort this time should be priceless, so that's why
It attracted the bandits' calculations."
Shangguan Wanning had nothing to say, but just sighed heavily. "It's just that, I'm sorry for those innocent people."
Huo Gang did not follow Shangguan Wanning's words, but changed the subject and said, "But, Miss, the man in black who broke into your room was neither a bandit nor a member of the Shuntian Escort Agency."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned. She recalled the situation just now and immediately understood.
The bandits were not masked because robbery was their daily routine; there was no need to mask the people from Shuntian Escort Agency when they were escorting the escorts outside.
The only explanation is that those masked people don’t want to be known to anyone.
Perhaps, they have been hiding in the dark for a long time, just waiting for an appropriate opportunity.
Shangguan Wanning thought about it and couldn't help but feel cold on her spine.
She always thought that the matter of leaving Beijing was very secretive, but now it is obviously discovered.
"Miss, it's at least ten days away from here to the Southeast Prefecture. The closer you are to your destination, the more dangerous you are. Killing intent is everywhere. Even if you have someone to protect it openly and secretly, safety is not a problem. But I think
It may be difficult to investigate the truth of the matter.”
"Brother Huo, I understand what you mean."
Shangguan Wanning agreed with Huo Gang's idea.
Since you have reached this point, you can't retreat. Just take advantage of the fire at this inn to hide your whereabouts.
It was dim, and Shangguan Wanning left a secret code again, picked up a few pieces of charcoal, wrote a letter on the handkerchief for two followers, explaining where he was going.
However, in order to ensure his safety, Shangguan Wanning also took a scruple and did not tell anyone as Huo Gang said, but left clues to the secret guards.
Under Huo Gang's leadership, Shangguan Wanning walked a road that even the map could not be connected.
Sometimes they travel during the day, sometimes at night, with sun and rain, traveling day and night. Although it was very hard, there was no more killing.
"Miss, have some water."
Huo Gang handed the water bag to Shangguan Wanning and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you, a delicate girl in the boudoir, could still persist along the way."
Shangguan Wanning raised her eyebrows and showed a proud look.
"That's right, don't underestimate me. I'm also a person who has been on the battlefield."
Huo Gang laughed loudly and bowed his hand and said, "I'm not respectful."
Seeing Huo Gang cooperated so much, Shangguan Wanning clasped her fists like him. "It's easy to say."
Both of them looked at each other and felt a little funny.
"By the way, Brother Huo, how long will it take for us to get to Southeast Prefecture?"
Huo Gang looked at the road ahead, and his face became solemn.
"After passing the three-way intersection in front, it is the jurisdiction of the Southeast Prefecture. You can rest for a while, and before sunset, let's go to the city to find an inn to stay."
"Then..." Shangguan Wanning originally wanted to say that she didn't need a rest and could set off immediately.
However, when she saw Huo Gang's sad and hesitant eyes, she changed her words to her mouth. "Okay, let's take a rest."
The two fell into silence.
Shangguan Wanning felt that Huo Gang was actually adjusting his emotions.
She kept secretly observing Huo Gang's expression until Huo Gang sighed heavily. "Miss, let's go."
"good."
The two of them each turned over their horses, and in just half a stick of incense, they arrived at Southeast Prefecture.
Shangguan Wanning looked around curiously at the two sides.
Here, it was different from what she imagined.
There were people coming and going on the streets, and the shops on both sides were blooming, but the roads were dusty and the houses seemed a little simple.
"Miss, this place is not as good as the capital. I'm afraid you will suffer some trouble in the next days."
Shangguan Wanning smiled sweetly. The superior or bad conditions did not have much impact on her.
The two of them were about to turn around and go to the inn when they suddenly heard heart-wrenching crying coming from behind.
