The wind was howling, Liu Ruyan was dressed in black and a fierce horse, with a cold moon scimitar on his back.
She sat high on the horse and looked at Bai Zhi standing below.
"Come up quickly." She urged.
Bai Zhi hesitated a little, silently looking at the area on the horse's back.
He thought to himself: "Patients have no gender, patients have no gender..."
Then he slowly stepped on the stirrups, sat behind her, and straightened his back silently.
As Ye Bai galloped on the road, the horse's back bumped constantly. He quickly tightened the saddle and tensed his body, not daring to move.
It wasn't until he came out of the valley and the horse's speed gradually slowed down that he slowly regained his breath.
It's still the same bustling street.
Liu Ruyan and Bai Zhi walked side by side in the bustling market, holding Ye Bai behind them.
"Have you heard that Mr. Liu of the Liu family has collaborated with the enemy and treason? The court has issued an arrest order and offered a reward of one hundred coins!"
"Hey, it's really a big deal."
"I heard that Mr. Liulang is an elusive man, and no one has seen his true face. If Mr. Jiang hadn't received a tip from an informant and reported the rebellion to the court, I really don't think the Liu family would have done such a thing.
"
"General Liu has been loyal to his country all his life, so why did he give birth to a rat!"
"Even so, I have never seen that boy go into battle to kill the enemy, and he still calls himself a soldier. It is not an exaggeration to call him a liar."
"Careful work is not a liar."
There was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, and they were talking about the rebellion in Liujiazhuang.
"The world is going to be in chaos again."
"I heard that the officers and soldiers haven't arrested anyone yet. Do you think there is someone who is harboring him on purpose?"
"Who is so stupid as to harbor someone who wants to commit a crime as an accomplice? This is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine tribes."
Liu Ruyan and Bai Zhi passed by the door of the teahouse.
She raised her finger and pointed to a pastry stall in front of her, raising the corners of her lips: "Brother Bai, this pastry is the most delicious, especially the hibiscus cake, which is sweet and soft. How about we buy some and take them on the road to eat."
Bai Zhi looked back and saw her smile, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away.
He immediately lowered his head and responded softly: "Okay."
"Wait for me here." Liu Ruyan said, leading Ye Bai to the pastry stall.
The flow of people is endless, Bai Zhi is waiting quietly on the road, elegant in green clothes, as tall as bamboo.
"Sir, this is the hibiscus cake you asked for." A woman ran from the opposite side and handed a large oil paper bag to his hand.
Bai Zhi looked back and frowned, "Where's the man who bought the cakes?"
"Oh, the young master has left, saying that he didn't have to wait for him." The woman said to him.
"Leaving?"
Bai Zhi looked stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a while.
"How could she...leave? How could she...leave without saying goodbye..."
The streets and alleys are crowded with people.
Behind the scenes, candles, lanterns, couplets, and red paper reflect the white snow.
In my ears, there were noises, shouts, and the sound of children lighting firecrackers.
Very lively.
And he, holding the sweet-smelling paper bag, looked up in despair.
The sky is vast and there is no trace left.
Just like him, the heart that was filled one moment was empty the next moment.
From now on, where should he go?
"Go away quickly, don't block the road!" A cavalry team came from the other side.
The leading officer and soldier took a notice, jumped off their horses, and walked towards the door of the vegetable market.
"Master Jun, what is this?" some people asked.
"Wanted order!" the soldier said, posting a portrait, "There was a traitor of the Liu family in a jade shop, so I drew a picture of this person. You all can take a good look at the person in this picture.
Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded!"
When the crowd heard that there was a reward, they immediately gathered around.
However, I saw that the young man in the painting was extremely handsome, with all exquisite facial features, his eyebrows were stretched and he looked heroic, and his eyes were as clear as autumn water.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Qianyan's appearance was quite good."
"I heard that this person is good at disguise. Who knows whether this portrait is true or false?"
"Whatever, if you see anyone who looks like you, let's report it to the official first."
"That's right."
…
Bai Zhi stood behind the crowd. He raised his eyes and looked at the portrait in the notice. The person depicted in the painting was indeed Liu Ruyan.
After spending this time together, he believed that Liu Ruyan was a person who would never do anything treacherous or even traitorous to her country for glory.
In addition, Liujiazhuang suffered a disaster. The scouts, including Uncle Quan, had their meridians cut off, covered with stone paint, and burned alive. It was obvious that someone was behind this incident.
But now, the imperial court has announced to the world that the soldiers of the Liu family have collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, committing suicide out of fear of crime. Liu Ruyan has defected abroad, and the entire country is trying to capture the key criminal!
He looked around.
There are officers and soldiers everywhere here, where else can she escape?
Carefully avoiding the crowd, Bai Zhi walked quickly towards a remote place.
After entering the alley, he realized that he had entered a dead end. This place was far away from the bustling city, and there was a hint of weirdness in the silence.
A gust of wind blew behind him, and he subconsciously turned around. The originally bright sky looked particularly gloomy in the alley.
Under the gray sky, the branches rustled in the wind. Bai Zhi secretly quickened her pace. The moment she walked out of the alley, suddenly, a hand appeared in front of her!
Bai Zhi was shocked, but the man looked at him coldly.
"Where are you going?"
"Brother Shen?" Bai Zhi was even more surprised and asked him, "Didn't you go to Wulu Mountain?"
"The whole city is under martial law. No one can leave the city without official documents." Shen Yanchu said slowly, "Why are you running around in the alleys? Where are Liu Ruyan's people?"
"She... left..." Bai Zhi said softly, holding the bag of pastries that had already cooled down.
Shen Yanchu glanced at the other party and understood, "He is doing this just because he is afraid of hurting you. Hehe, he himself can't protect himself, and he still has the time to worry about others."
Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, finally speechless.
A few streets away, Liu Ruyan led Ye Bai alone to the alley near the city gate.
After walking for a while, she squatted down and put her right hand on her forehead. She had caught a bit of wind and cold while riding a horse, and she felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
Looking up into the sky, she smiled to herself: "It's good that they have left. Without me as a burden, I think it won't take long for them to leave the city."
With this in mind, she took out a few pills from the system space, put them into her mouth, and waited for the effects of the medicine to gradually take effect before she set off again.
That night, Liujiazhuang suffered a bloodbath, and the iron box that was supposed to be sent to the Liao Kingdom also disappeared. Who was the murderer? He made such a meticulous layout just to take away an iron box? And what was inside the iron box?
What is it that caused the Han Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom and the mastermind behind the scenes to spend so much effort.
She thought deeply, and there was so-called ironclad evidence in the system space. However, the Han Emperor did not intend to let Liujiazhuang go. The whole country was trying to capture Liu Ruyan, probably to recover the iron box.
She was silent and then spoke: "Yexun, you told me before that when the prestige value reaches 100,000, there will be a chance to make a comeback. In this case, the next plot will be about hunting for the treasure and chasing the murderer."
Ye Xun appeared out of thin air, and at the flick of his finger, a new plot was reset.
"We are now at the recording site of "Who Will We Confront"? A new plot has been successfully triggered to capture the treasure and pursue the murderer."
"Plot hint..."
Liu Ruyan listened intently to the notification sound from the system. At this moment, the sound suddenly stopped, and the busy streets behind her gradually faded away.
She seemed to be in an empty realm of nothingness, with koi carp swimming in the air and splashing transparent water from time to time. Surprised, she stretched out her hand to grab a small blue fish, but the fish escaped from her fingers.
It went out and instantly turned into a ray of blue light.
The moment the blue light appeared, it was like thick ink entering water, lingering in the water, spreading out like smoke, like mist, like threads, and finally formed a painting in front of her eyes.
The majestic rolling mountains and rivers are shocking to people's hearts.
Accompanied by an ancient beast's cry, the picture scroll gradually solidified, and finally merged into an ancient beast totem!
