Embers

Chapter 58

After simply tidying up the embers, he left the inn with Xiao Taohua.

He understood that he had to leave here quickly, Xiao Taohua's status was unusual, if she continued to stay here, not only Wanhualou, but even the government would catch up.

Before that, Xiao Taohua didn't know what the consequences would be if she left Wanhualou, but now seeing Ember frowning and nervous, she already understood the seriousness of the situation.

She couldn't help but grabbed Ember's lower back: "Big brother, please put me down..."

Ember paused: "Huh?"

After hesitating for a long time, she dared to speak: "Take me away, it will bring you a lot of trouble... I'd better go back, I'm already very content with big brother coming to save me."

Her voice trembled slightly, Ember knew that she was actually very scared.

He didn't say anything, just whipped the whip, and the horse continued to trot forward.

Xiao Taohua tightly clutched her clothes, and blamed herself for the trouble she would cause him, bit her lip, but insisted not to let the tears fall.

Seeing the scenery passing by quickly on both sides, Ember's eyes darkened.Jieyou hanging on his waist patted his calf with the bumps of the horse's hooves, as if to comfort him.

Walking all the way to the gate of the city, I saw a crowd of people from a distance, noisy, several officers and soldiers were pointing at the portraits pasted on the city wall, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Ember looked at it calmly, wasn't the little girl in the portrait the one who was clinging to his back?

Someone was stopped and refused to let go. He was anxious and angry, and couldn't help arguing: "What are you doing! My old lady is still at home waiting for life-saving herbs!"

Others also echoed, and the officers and soldiers said angrily: "What are you arguing about? It's not you who let people go and lose their heads! Be honest with me, and you can only leave after checking!"

Ember frowned, reckoning the possibility of breaking in.

At this moment, a delicate and gorgeous carriage stopped beside him.

A fair and beautiful hand gracefully opened the car curtain. In the light and shadow interlacing, from the outside, only the perfectly curved chin and thin lips of the person inside could be seen.

Ember glanced at it casually, but didn't delve into it, but put her hand on the very ordinary sword given by the blacksmith.

Just when he was about to draw his sword, a clear voice came from the carriage.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Ember tilted her head, and when she recognized that the other party was calling him, she removed her hand from the hilt and turned her head to look at that person.

Xiao Taohua was also a little curious behind him and secretly turned to look.

The man smiled lightly, still leaning in the carriage without showing his face, only his thin lips were slightly raised: "The one behind you, is the little Peach Blossom girl who is wanted at the door?"

Ember nodded slightly: "Exactly."

At the same time, the murderous intention suddenly arose.

The man probably sensed the killing intent emanating from him, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother, don't panic, I have no malicious intentions."

Ember said calmly, "Oh?"

The man said: "Last night, I was also in Wanhualou, and I had the honor to witness the scene where my brother wanted to redeem the little Peach Blossom girl."

Ember doesn't want to listen to his nonsense, the people in front are gradually finishing up, and they are almost there, if they can't figure out a way, Xiao Taohua will be discovered soon.

Seeing his impatience, the man immediately said the key thing first: "I can take you out."

These words successfully attracted Ember's attention.

"Although I'm not a big shot, after all, my family has a very secret relationship with the government, and they won't check on me."

Ember stared at his chin for a long while, as if thinking about the authenticity of his words.

The man smiled and said: "Look at what Xiongtai means is that he is going to force his way out? I don't know if Xiongtai knows that the officers and soldiers you see are only a part, and the rest are inside the tower. Once there is any movement outside, he will come out immediately. Although Xiongtai seems to be very skilled at first glance, but it is still dangerous to fight in real life, I am afraid it will hurt the little Taohua girl."

Ember thought for a moment, then directly stuffed Xiao Taohua into the man's carriage.

Xiao Taohua pursed her lips slightly, her face turned pale.She was also a little afraid of this stranger who popped out suddenly, but she knew that she had already caused Ember a lot of trouble, and if she delayed things at this time, Ember might be even more troublesome.

Ember looked at how strong she was holding herself up, paused and said, "Don't be afraid."

Xiao Taohua nodded heavily, and got into the man's carriage.

Ember walked in front of the carriage, and rushed to the city gate first.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Ember said expressionlessly, "Leave the city and do some business."

The officers and soldiers looked at him several times, but they didn't find anything unusual, so they waved his hands to let him pass.

Not long after, the man's carriage followed.

The officers and soldiers were more polite this time.

The man negotiated briefly with the officers and soldiers, and his calm voice clearly entered Ember's ears.

When the officers and soldiers were trying to peek into the carriage, a moderate panting happened to be heard, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, there was another low-pitched sound, and Xiao Taohua's voice became very charming: "My lord, are you good or bad..."

The man's tone suddenly became gentle and ambiguous: "Shut up, I'll clean you up at night."

He smiled at the officers and soldiers again: "The servant girl at home is ignorant, so don't take offense."

The officer and soldier realized it and let him go with a smile.

Walking all the way out of the sight of the officers and soldiers, Ember got off the horse and waited for the carriage to stop.

Soon, the carriage also stopped, and Xiao Taohua climbed down cautiously.

"Thank you." Ember faced the carriageway.

The man seemed to smile lightly: "It's okay, it's a great honor to be able to help my brother."

Ember placed Xiao Taohua on the horse's back, and then faced the carriageway: "Can you tell me your name, and I will definitely help you if necessary in the future."

A low laugh came from the carriage: "My surname is Yi, and my name is Huaizhi."

Ember nodded slightly and was about to leave when she heard a voice behind her: "Then I don't know your brother's name yet?"

After a pause, Ember said lightly: "Ye Yichuan."

The man smiled: "Brother Ye... I will remember it."

Ember is only 17 years old this year, and this person keeps calling him elder brother, so he doesn't know how old he is.

He had seen Ember, but Ember had not seen him.But after all, Ember was not interested in these things, said his farewells, and drove away.

After walking quite a distance, Xiao Taohua dared to speak: "Brother, don't you know that handsome big brother?"

Ember let out a casual "Yes", and asked casually, "Is he good-looking?"

Xiao Taohua rubbed his head against his back earnestly, thought for a while and said, "But I'm not as good-looking as my brother."

Ember frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that the man's chin looked a little familiar just now.

But he didn't think too much about what kind of familiarity it was.

"What did he just tell you?"

Xiao Taohua was a little embarrassed: "Just say, let me learn the name of those girls in the brothel..."

Ember warned: "This time is an exception, and you are not allowed to call it that way in the future. Forget everything you heard and watched in the brothel."

Xiao Taohua was taken aback for a moment, understood what he meant, and nodded heavily.

The horse galloped all the way until it got dark without reaching another small town.

Looking at the road ahead that was starting to become dark, Ember stopped, took out a fire pocket from the package and lit it, so that he could see everything in front of him clearly.

There is no end to the road, and there are grass and trees on the side of the road that are about to catch up with people.

The fire will soon be extinguished, and by then it will be impossible to hurry.It seems that I can only spend here tonight.

It was almost December, and the blowing wind brought a biting chill, and as the person remained still, it easily penetrated into the bones.

Ember is a martial arts practitioner, and she can still get used to this temperature, but she feels a little chilly.Xiao Taohua was even worse, shivering from the cold.

This was the first time for Ember to go out alone, without Ye Bozhou's company, and without Nie Budu's precise calculations and full preparations, the two of them didn't even take any dry food with the banknotes in their pockets.

Grunts sounded clearly in the silence.

"hungry?"

Xiao Taohua whispered: "Not hungry."

Ember didn't say anything, and wrapped the turned out clothes around her body.

"Stay here."

After finishing speaking, Ember flew into the darkness beside the road.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of trees swaying continued to resound in the darkness.

Xiao Taohua pursed her lips and grabbed her clothes tightly, trying her best not to tremble.

After a while, there was a sound from the grass beside her. She looked over with some fear, and immediately heard Ember's familiar voice: "It's me, don't be afraid."

Ember threw a large pile of wood in his arms on the ground, simply waved it around, and lit it with a torch.Fortunately, the weather is still dry recently, and the wood can be burned. The warm fire light illuminates the dark night and dispels a little cold.

Xiao Taohua involuntarily leaned against the fire.

Seeing her shrinking shoulders, Ember walked over and hugged her from behind, letting her sit in his arms, so that it could be warmer.

Xiao Taohua huddled in Ember's arms, and asked softly, "Big brother, is Ye Yichuan your name?"

"Ah."

She thought for a while: "Then shall I call you Brother Ye?"

Ember let out another "hmm".

After a long time, she spoke again: "Brother Ye, where are we going?"

Ember tightened her arms, not knowing how to answer.

He thought about it all the way.

If there is no Xiao Taohua, he will act according to the original plan, but now something has gone wrong, and he has to make a new plan.

Originally, he only offended the people in the Jianghu, but now even the people in the imperial court are offended. It is very dangerous wherever he goes, except for one place——

magic.

The imperial court would not interfere with the affairs of the Jianghu people, so they would not visit the Demon Cult, and Bai Dao was also afraid of the Demon Cult. From this point of view, only the Demon Cult was the safest.

He himself doesn't care, but Xiao Taohua is just a little girl, and long-term homelessness is not suitable for her.

Just like what Nie Budu said, he has nowhere to go except the Demon Sect.

He raised his head and looked at the road ahead. They had indeed walked north for a day.

Could it be that in the end, he could only return to the Demon Cult?

The author has something to say:

Wow, why did I say not to send money, but instead collected and returned one? QAQ

Let me say here, Xiao Taohua can't protect herself, and when Ember saves her, she just treats him as an older brother, and has no intention of falling in love at all.

And Ember not to mention he is crooked.

So there is no love between them.

Then, I still roll around asking for comments and favorites... I promise to work hard to write articles in the future and write better articles!Then... you guys also comment on it for me, QAQ, it's better to be alone than to be happy together...
