Step on a branch

Chapter 277
A ruined temple in the mountains.

I don't know which year it was built, or which year it was abandoned. Weeds came out from the cracks in the floor tiles, the side halls collapsed, and only the main hall remained.

There was a hole in the top of the main hall, and the stone statue fell to the ground, looking gloomy after nightfall.

A fire was lit in the hall for lighting, and a small cluster could only illuminate half of the room.

Ji Shi sat on the side, his face was full of fatigue.

Ever since she rose from the capital and traveled all night, she hasn't had a peaceful night's sleep.

Just take the opportunity to take a nap, but within a quarter of an hour, you will wake up with a start.

There is no way, there is something in my heart, how can I sleep soundly?

After all, the safety of the entire group rested heavily on her shoulders.

Fortunately, everyone cooperated with her and supported her.

Put it in someone else's house, and in this situation, nine out of ten of the first ones are men.

Pian Qinzhi was indecisive.

It's not that Qin Zhi's behavior is so unreliable, but that he is careful and thinks a lot.

When I think about it too much, I have all kinds of worries, hesitation, and hesitation.

It's like standing at a crossroads, one turnout leads to three, four, five small roads, Qin Zhi will be entangled for a long time after analyzing and thinking.

Things that need to be cut quickly cannot be left to Qin Zhi.

Ji knows this shortcoming of her husband too well.

When I was at home on weekdays, I could still analyze and ponder with him carefully. I really didn't have the time and thought to escape from Beijing.

Fortunately, Qin Zhi has another advantage.

He is obedient.

Since the Ji family is leading, Qin Zhi will never question this, be dissatisfied with that, let alone sing a different tune.

Even if he couldn't figure it out for a while, he didn't pursue it.

Just do what you want, no matter what.

This made Ji Shi much easier.

The juniors will not talk indiscriminately, how to go along the way, how to rest, Ji only needs to discuss with Mrs. Dingguo.

Said it was the old lady, but in fact Cheng Qiao was only a few years older than her, they belonged to the same age group.

Cheng Qiao has lived in the inner house for a long time, but she is by no means an ignorant woman.

The two talked about things and hit it off.

Therefore, the only thing that worries them all the way here is the situation in Beijing.

How is Mrs. Hou?
How is Qin Luan?

What about the eldest princess and the Xiangjun?
They were worried and worried, but no one dared to turn around.

Everyone has their mission and has to do their own thing well.

Fortunately, they finally received the clue, and unfortunately, the official road ahead was blocked.

Looking at the fire, Ji took a deep breath.

In the afternoon, thanks to her thought, she didn't continue running along the official road, otherwise, she would have plunged into the siege.

It was luck that there was such a ruined temple on the mountain, so they had a place to rest.

It's summer again, so don't worry about heating.

It's just that they don't have much time.

Ji Shi has already made up his mind, at most, he will wait here until it gets dark tomorrow.

If they can't wait for Mrs. Hou, the group of them will have to continue their journey.

The troops are divided into two groups.

Ask Ah Yuan and Ah Miao to go south with the mother and daughter of Duke Ding's Mansion. Ji's natal family is in the south, about half a month's journey away.

Ji's family has a small village in the local area, which can allow them to settle down for a while.

Together with Qin Zhi and the eldest son, she continued westward.

It is best to bypass the checkpoints set up by the government, even if it takes a little more effort to walk the most difficult path in the mountains, you must find a way to get to Feimenguan.

That edict must be sent to the old Hou Ye.

Thinking of this, Ji stretched out his hand to press on his chest.

She didn't dare to untie it for a moment.

Panicked, also sick.

When standing outside the ruined temple earlier, looking at the fire on the official road in the distance, Qin Zhi said something.

When the time came to kill them, he would serve as bait.

Ji Shi gave him a blank stare and didn't answer the words, but she knew in her heart that when the time came to take the bait to open the way, she must not hesitate.

Pressing the purse in her heart again, Ji Shi thought, hoping that everything will go well, don't wait until that moment.

The fire was crackling, and Qin Yuan, who was beside her, turned over in a murmur.

Qiaoyu was a light sleeper, woken up by her, opened her eyes, and looked around blankly.

Ruined temples, fires, and stone statues with scary shadows.

She froze for a moment, then came to her senses.

These few days, rushing on the road without stopping, gradually, Qiaoyu tasted some flavors by herself.

They are fleeing.

Among the few masters in the Yongning Hou Mansion, there is only an old steward who is familiar with the road conditions along the way, and the eldest son's clever and skilled attendants.

But his old lady took her with her.

It's not a matter of trust, and she doesn't really have much to offer.

In terms of riding skills, the old lady is much better than her, and she needs the second girl Qin to take care of her; in terms of kung fu, she can't even call herself a three-legged cat.

In the Duke's Mansion, there are many people who are more powerful than her.

Why is the old lady so partial to her?

If it was just that the old lady was eccentric, Qiaoyu would not think so much, and everyone in the Pianhou Mansion was very polite and kind to her.

This kind of enthusiasm made Qiaoyu extremely puzzled.

She really wanted to ask the old lady, but there was no suitable opportunity along the way.

The drowsiness dissipated, but her thoughts were still not clear, Qiaoyu sat up lightly.

Looking at Qin Yuan who was sleeping in a mist, Qiaoyu couldn't help but pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.

It was obviously such a dilapidated place.

When they arrived earlier, it was full of cobwebs, and there were unnamed bugs in the corners. They simply cleaned it up, and it was not close to being neat and clean.

Even before she entered the Duke's mansion, she had never seen such a messy situation when she was at home.

But Qin Yuan didn't complain at all.

It's time to lie down and sleep.

From this point of view, there seems to be no big difference between the girl from the Hou Mansion and the girl from the street.

Slowly, Qiaoyu lay down again.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright.

Outside the main hall, there were footsteps, and Qiaoyu was startled, and immediately got up.

Ji Shi recovered from her half-dream and half-awake state, and listened for a while, her eyes lit up, full of surprise.

"It's the old lady," Ji said happily, "the old lady is here."

When Qin Zhi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Really? Can you hear this?"

Complacent color rose to the brows, Ji said: "Trust me!"

Do you really think that she has been a daughter-in-law for so many years for nothing?
The footsteps of father-in-law and mother-in-law can be distinguished even if they are separated by a yard.

Qin Zhi was still doubtful, but Qin Feng had already rushed out.

Grandma is here, what about Aluan?
These days, he was really worried.

A Luan was trapped in the government of Anguo that day. Her martial arts skills were weak, but she had Taoist magic to protect her body. She might be able to deal with small troubles, but when she encountered real swords and guns...

Qin Feng couldn't even think about it!

Three steps at a time, he turned over the overturned, half-person-high incense burner in front of the main hall, and looked at the group of people who entered the ruined temple.

He saw Ah Qing, his grandmother, and the eldest princess.

Behind them, he saw A Luan.

A Luan, who was not injured or sick, walked steadily.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and wiped his face heavily.
