I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Zhuo Yao and Zhuo Ling escaped from Chenjing, traveling lightly and at high speed.

After walking for three days without rest, Zhuo Yao was worried that Zhuo Ling could not bear it, so he rested for a night at a farmhouse.

But no matter how fast the horse is, it can't compare to the hundreds of homing pigeons released together.

Several cities near Chenjing were under the control of the forces behind the Empress Dowager. With a single order, the garrison generals of several cities sent heavy troops to investigate. All roads that horses could walk were guarded by shifts day and night. Not a bird can fly out.

In addition, the defenders of these cities are all close or distant relatives of Zhennan Palace, and everyone is already familiar with them. This is much more reliable than a portrait.

Zhuo Yao and Zhuo Ling had already expected this and were careful in everything.

At night, Zhuo Yao asked Zhuo Ling to have a good night's rest. He kept watch, but was scolded by Zhuo Ling, "Where can I rest all night? The guards will only be tighter during the day. Just rest for half the night and then leave! You can sleep for an hour, I Sleep for an hour, you go to sleep first!"

Zhuo Yao was a little embarrassed, "It doesn't matter if I don't sleep, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!"

"How is that possible! If you can bear it, I can bear it!" Zhuo Ling insisted on not sleeping.

Zhuo Yao never thought his sister was so stubborn before!

He was almost forced to sleep by Zhuo Ling, but he couldn't fall asleep. Although he and Zhuo Ling often quarreled, he was always more stubborn in the past, and Zhuo Ling always tolerated him.

Now that I think about it, it's not that Zhuo Ling is soft-tempered, it's that she has always taken care of her as a younger brother.

This makes Zhuo Yao feel uncomfortable in every possible way.

He couldn't sleep, so he spread out the map and discussed with Zhuo Ling which way to go.

Zhuo Yao observed the route attentively and pointed to a small path, "Take the small path and go through the canyon. This way we can avoid confrontation with the Cangzhou army. The two of us cannot encounter the army, otherwise we will die."

"Is it possible to ride a horse on this road? It is estimated that it will take more than ten days to travel in the mountains, so you need to bring enough food." Zhuo Ling thought more carefully.

"When we got to the middle of the canyon, we abandoned our horses and walked instead. Dad once said that there is a river of sedimentary sand when you turn out from here. You can go up against the river to enter Mangshan Mountain. This is the closest road to Fengcheng. Once you pass Fengcheng, we will be there. territory!"

"Well, it's feasible! I'll go find the villagers before dawn tomorrow to buy some dry food! You go and change to a faster horse, my horse is injured."

"Let me go, I'm faster!" Zhuo Yao said.

"Are you okay? You spend money lavishly, don't distinguish between grains and grains, and you don't know anything!" Zhuo Ling felt that she couldn't even distinguish leeks from onions. She had a lot of money to make, and she didn't trust him to buy food.

Zhuo Yao: "..."

It seems reasonable. Zhuo Yao also knows that today is different from the past. Money must be spent wisely, and he can no longer spend money randomly like before. "Then I will change horses and meet at the mountain pass ahead."

"Well, don't get caught. If either of you or I is caught, Ah Hong will suffer the pain, and it will get worse!" Zhuo Ling's eyes hardened.

Zhuo Yao also gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, if we are ambushed, no matter who you or I are, we must arrive in southern Shanxi and take military power before we are qualified to negotiate terms with them."

The two siblings reached a tacit understanding and perhaps made an agreement.

Before dawn the next day, the two of them went separate ways to buy food supplies and fast horses.

Zhuo Ling was the person in charge of money. She only gave Zhuo Yao the money needed to buy a horse, and kept the rest with herself.

Zhuo Yao quickly fell in love with a good horse, but he was offered a high price and Zhuo Yao had to bargain.

How could he ever bargain in this life?

"You fool people! Stop it! You are a shady merchant, aren't you afraid of being investigated?"

The words were very ordinary, but Zhuo Yao's size and fierce expression frightened the merchant, and in the end he reluctantly sold it to him.

Zhuo Yao got the horse and rushed back, only to find that the farmer's village was surrounded by layers of soldiers.

What a big battle!

This is a small village with only seven or eight households in total. These days, every household has no extra food, so Zhuo Ling can only go to larger villages to buy food.

The direction of that village happened to be the direction of the formation of this large group of soldiers.

Soldier formations generally include soldiers and reconnaissance scouts who occupy high ground for lookout. They are responsible for listening in all directions and observing six directions. This group of people is agile and flexible.

If Zhuo Ling comes back, they will inevitably find him.

And since they have searched here, it means that several nearby villages have also been occupied.

Such terrain formed a layer of encirclement network, and Zhuo Ling's position was very disadvantageous.

Zhuo Yao almost immediately made a decision, let's separate!

Over the years, the person who has really supported the Zhennan Palace is actually Zhuo Ling.

He has always known that his willful capital is actually his sister.

Zhuo Ling can do it alone, she can definitely reach Shannan.

Zhuo Yao sneaked in secretly, freed the weak horse, went to the rice field, pulled a scarecrow and tied it to the horse's back. And he mounted another horse, carrying another horse, and ran away in the opposite direction.

Deliberately passing by a place within sight of the high ground, sure enough, a horn sounded from the mountain.

The horns sounded one after another, echoing in the valley. Zhuo Ling, who was still on her way back, also heard it, and she immediately hid.

Then I heard dense footsteps heading in the other direction.

She didn't dare to come out until the footsteps faded away and the village returned to peace.

It was now nightfall.

This trumpet sound is a summons, usually in response to enemy attacks and unusual movements. If their purpose was to search her and Zhuo Yao, then the sound of the horn meant that Zhuo Yao had been discovered.

Zhuo Ling observed those footprints and followed them for a long distance. They were in the opposite direction of the route discussed last night!

In other words, Zhuo Yao most likely lured these people away on purpose!

She got it.

There was no way she could save her brother, that would be asking for death!

Zhuo Yao had discussed with her last night that one of them must take over the army.

Since Zhuo Yao left his life to her, she couldn't let him down!

Then wish yourself good luck!

She is also a member of the Zhennan Palace. She has worked hard to support the Zhennan Palace over the years.

She can do it.

She no longer regards Zhuo Yao as the axis of Zhennan Palace, she can also become this axis.

She packed her luggage, wiping her tears while packing, then put out the oil lamp, and took advantage of the darkness to ride on her horse.

Even if she is alone, she must embark on this path unswervingly. Only by holding military power can she be qualified to negotiate terms.

Leave behind the life of glory, wealth and privilege you have enjoyed for half your life, as well as your innocence and stupidity.

Leaving behind the two younger brothers whom I had cared about for half my life.

Leave behind the self who is looking for someone to rely on.

She wanted to find a way to save her father and her younger brother. She had already missed the opportunity to save her brother Sa Lan and Bai Zhi. She had to save the remaining people no matter what.

With one person, one horse and one luggage, she embarked on the journey.

Zhuo Ling rode her horse galloping along the predetermined route, facing the wind, and her tears were blown into her neck, which was cold and cold.

She stopped her horse suddenly and looked up at the sky.

The moon tonight is as round as a big jade plate, bright and clean.

She just looked up and wiped her tears with her sleeves. She didn't cry anymore.

He just said to the round moon, "You want to be safe..."

Want peace and reunion.

Then he galloped away without looking back.
