The night is like ink, and the moon is as bright as water.

The official road is clear and cold, with open fields on both sides.

Zhao Gou galloped under the moonlight, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, surrounded by a dozen guards of the Song Mission, when Wu Shu asked him to leave, Zhang Bangchang called him for his safety These people give him.

"Zhang Bangchang! If there is a chance in the future, Gu will take your dog's life!"

The anger in Zhao Gou's heart couldn't be contained, even if Wang Yun poisoned Yan Zhao and seriously injured him, it didn't make him so angry, because Xu Zizhen didn't have to die, but Zhang Bangchang refused to let even one of his guards come out to help one time.

He has mixed feelings in his heart now, and Xu Zizhen is right again, the Jinren really let him go back to Bianjing, no matter how unruly he was before, as for whether he can return to Bianjing safely, he no longer doubts, no Knowing since when, he has become very trusting and even dependent on Xu Zizhen.

A guard came over and said, "My lord, we are far away from Zhending, why don't we take a rest first."

Zhao Gou glanced at him, and said expressionlessly, "We'll rest when we get back to Bianjing."

The guard said with a bitter face: "My lord, it's the little ones who can't bear it, but your body is important. There is still so much distance to Bianjing. If you keep rushing like this, won't you be exhausted?"

Zhao Gou snorted, but didn't speak any more. He was naturally tired. It had been almost three hours since he came out of Zhending camp. Riding and shooting is a bit too much now, my hips are painful and numb, and my waist is also sore.

The guard struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Since the Jinren let the prince go back, naturally there is no reason to send troops to chase after him, the prince..."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Gou was furious: "According to your words, are you afraid that Wanyan Zongwang will send someone to chase me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I ask you to punish me for making a small slip of the tongue!" The guard hurriedly rolled off his horse and knelt down on the side of the road.

Zhao Gou stopped around the reins, glanced at him, and said solemnly: "Everyone dismount with me, and I will rest here alone!"

All the guards looked at each other, this is the official way, if the Jin people don't come, it's fine, if they really send someone to chase them, then they have nowhere to escape in this place, but Zhao Gou has already spoken, even if they are reluctant, they have nothing to do, They had no choice but to get off their horses one after another, tie the horses to the trees on the side of the road, and then those who fetched water and those who lit the fire. Just about to get some hot water for food, they saw Zhao Gou sitting on the side of the road and resting with his eyes closed.

……

"Hey, Xu Zizhen, why do you always take the trail?"

"It's a shortcut."

"how do you know?"

"Nonsense, I did my homework before I came."

Xu Zizhen and Su San were galloping along a small road a few miles away from the official road. This road started from outside Zhending City and was basically parallel to the official road. However, it was near a mountain. It was said that there were bandits on weekdays, so it was very strange. It's remote, it's past midnight now, and they're just two of them riding lightly, so there won't be any problem.

Su San was full of questions now, but Xu Zizhen's expression was very dignified, and she just kept her head buried in the road. After all, she still knew the general situation. She opened her mouth several times and still didn't ask, but as the road became more and more bumpy and difficult, she still Couldn't help complaining.

Xu Zizhen was racing against time and dared not delay at all. Zhao Gou had already left Jinying for several hours. If he wanted to catch up with the official road, he didn't know when he would go. Fortunately, he would never go alone, Zhang Bangchang would definitely People will be arranged to protect his safety, so that Zhao Gou's speed will not be too fast.

Traveling alone is completely different from traveling with a group of people, just like he originally planned to travel alone, but now that Su San is added, the speed has to be reduced a little.

This path is indeed difficult to walk, and the closer it is, the closer it is, but the road surface is uneven, and his horse almost stumbled several times. It has been more than an hour since he came out of Zhending, and Xu Zizhen only felt the chest and ribs. The excruciating pain was unbearable. In fact, his wound couldn't bear such a tossing at night, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Xu Zizhen leaned on the horse's back, staring at the front, thinking silently.

Su San followed closely, seeing that his face was frighteningly pale, worried and anxious, and wanted to persuade him to stop and have a rest, but seeing his resolute expression, he finally held back.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky has gradually turned white. From midnight to now, it is already early morning.

At this time Xu Zizhen reined in the horse with a groan, and listened carefully, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Su San also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Here we are." As he said that, he got off his horse, but before he could stand still, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Su San caught him quickly with sharp eyes, and complained: "You've been injured enough to lie in bed for a month, but you're still selling yourself here, and who's to blame if you torture yourself and disable yourself later?"

Xu Zizhen glared at him and said, "Crow's mouth!"

Just as Su San was about to retort, he found that Xu Zizhen had taken off the saddle, and then he took out a dagger and stroked it along the saddle, peeling off the thick layer of cowhide on the surface, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xu Zizhen didn't answer, he unbuttoned his clothes and opened his chest, revealing his fair but explosive muscles. Su San blushed, spat and turned his head away, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and peeked, only to see Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth A layer of cowhide was attached to the breast ribs, and the skirt was covered, and tied tightly with a belt.

"Okay." After Xu Zizhen fiddled with these, he let out a long breath. The pain at the broken rib was unbearable, so binding it like this would at least relieve the pain.

Su San's heart moved inexplicably. She practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has seen countless martial arts tough guys, but it was the first time she saw someone who abused herself like Xu Zizhen. The early morning light hit Xu Zizhen's face, and outlined his profile. With the tough lines, Su San was a little distracted at this moment.

……

Zhao Gou opened his eyes, looked at the rising sun in the sky, stood up and got on his horse: "Let's go."

A group of guards packed up and got on their horses one after another, still protecting Zhao Gou in the middle, but just when they were about to leave, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled faintly.

The face of the experienced guard suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "No, the pursuers are here!"

Zhao Gou's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust billowing on the horizon in the distance, and it seemed that he could already smell the golden soldiers riding fast from a long distance away.

"The golden soldiers are here, my lord, let's go!"

The guards turned pale with fright, hurriedly embraced Zhao Gou and left. The official road was extremely empty, and the Jin people were always good at riding and shooting. It might not take long for them to catch up in this kind of terrain.

Zhao Gou's face was pale and he galloped on the horse, a trace of remorse finally rose in his heart.

Is Zizhen trying to trick me?Will the orphan be buried here?
