The morning light shines into the hall from the window, and Yu Xiao is awakened by the dazzling light. He subconsciously wants to hug the person beside him, but he can't find Zijin. He opens it in a daze, but finds that the huge On the dragon bed, there is only myself.

"Jin'er?"

He called softly, but there was still silence in the room, and no one answered.For some reason, Yu Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart, so he got up and dressed quickly.

"Suian!"

"The slave is here."

"Did you see where Zijin went?"

"General Lin? Shouldn't he be in the hall?"

"If I found him, why did I call you?!"

"This... the servant has been guarding the door all night, and it is true that he did not see General Lin go out."

"Didn't go out? Where did that person go?!"

"The servant really doesn't know."

Suian quickly bowed his head and confessed.He is Yu Xiao's most trusted old man. Since he said he didn't see anyone coming out of the Qixiao Palace, then he really didn't. But how could such a good living person disappear out of thin air?Yu Xiao had nothing to worry about, could it be that he sneaked somewhere again?But even so, Yu Xiao's heart still beats fast, always feeling that something bad will happen.

Just as he was considering various possible scenarios for the development of the situation, Yu Xiao glanced at the desk and saw the letter lying there.It said "Yu Xiaoqi" on it. Yu Xiao recognized the handwriting, and it was indeed from Lin Zijin's hand, so he quickly opened the letter, and there was only a short line of words on it, but Yu Xiao was stunned.

"It's gone, don't read it."

Walk?Where did you go?These four words were so shocking that Yu Xiao couldn't react for a while. The person who was laughing in his arms last night, left without saying goodbye today. Why?

Yu Xiao crumpled up the letter in his hand, "Sui'an! Send an order to seal the city gates, and search anyone who wants to leave the city! I won't allow him to leave like this!"

"Yes! As ordered!"

city ​​gate.

Lin Zijin sneaked out of the palace last night in order to deceive others, but it took a lot of effort.Because he was already exhausted when he and Yu Xiao were tossing around in the middle of the night, after he confirmed that Yu Xiao was asleep, he flew up to the roof lightly, avoiding the eyes of the patrolling soldiers, and then went to the post station to meet Kui Lang.

Now he is sitting in the carriage with Kui Lang and preparing to go to Liufeng.Originally thought that he would leave the city immediately, but he didn't know that Yu Xiaohuang's order was too timely, and Lin Zijin was stopped in the city, waiting for the officers and soldiers to search.

"Why is it so blocked in front?"

"You don't know? This is a search for some general."

"Why are you looking for him?"

"It seems that he has offended the emperor, and he is going to be arrested and beheaded!"

"It's so serious?! But this general is really, I'm trapped here and can't get out of the city, and I'm in a hurry to send it to someone else!"

"Hey, just wait, no one can afford the emperor's affairs."

"Yes, you are right."

Lin Zijin closed his eyes and rested in the carriage, but he listened to the conversation of the two businessmen outside.Is Yu Xiao really looking for him?

"Zijin, the person who was searched by the officers and soldiers is not you, is it?"

"Maybe it's me." Lin Zijin smiled wryly, "What should we do now?"

"It's okay, I have a solution."

As Kui Lang said, he took out a small and exquisite box from his luggage, he opened the box, and Lin Zijin couldn't understand the contents inside.

"This is the flour paste used to make up the face. Although I don't use it very well, I know how to use it more or less."

Seeing Lin Zijin's puzzled expression, Kui Lang began to explain.

"It's okay, as long as you can escape the inspection of officers and soldiers."

After half an hour, it was the turn of Lin Zijin and Kui Lang's carriage to be searched.The officers and soldiers walked into the carriage to investigate, only to see a young man sitting in the carriage with a man wearing a huge cloak. The man covered his face, so he couldn't tell his gender, let alone his appearance.

"What are you doing in the cloak in the carriage?"

"This officer and soldier, he is my elder brother, he has smallpox, and he is afraid that the rash all over his face will scare the lords, so he wears a cloak."

"what?!"

When the officers and soldiers heard that it was smallpox, they immediately withdrew, but they still had to deal with the matter of investigation. They were not sure that it would be General Lin who had the gastrodia, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at Lin Zijin. explain.

"Hey, cloaked one, show me your face."

After hearing the instructions, Lin Zijin asked for the cloak to be taken off, revealing an ugly face with red rashes and burns on the left side of his face. The officer saw that it was far from the portrait in his hand, so he decided that he was not General Lin After that, he hurriedly left, after all, no one wanted to be infected with smallpox.During the inspection just now, Kui Lang's palms were sweating. After all, the disguise was too clumsy. If you look closely, you can definitely see the clues. That's why he made up the lie of smallpox and asked the officers and soldiers to stay away from Lin Zijin. Increase the chance of being deceived.Sure enough, Lin Zijin was easily released from the city after being hidden from the officers and soldiers.

But Yu Xiao didn't know it at this time, he was restless in the palace, besides asking people to seal the city gate, Yu Xiao also asked all the guards and maids in the palace to search every corner of the palace.

"The slave sees the empress."

Hearing Sui'an's greeting, Yu Xiao turned around and saw the queen walking in. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and now her face was very similar to when she first entered the palace, as if the innocent Ji Qiu had returned Same.

"Your Majesty, Zi Jin is gone?!"

Because the queen was also anxious about Lin Zijin, she even forgot to greet Yu Xiao after seeing her.

"He left a note and disappeared."

"I heard that you were looking for him in the palace, did you ask the empress dowager?"

"Mother? Why ask her?"

"No... this... I'm just talking casually. What if Zijin meets the old lady for tea at the Queen Mother's side."

"How could it be? Zijin and the queen mother have never met before. Where can I talk about tea?"

"Zi Jin told me when he came to Xuan Ning Palace a few days ago that the Empress Dowager had looked for him. Doesn't the Emperor know about this?!"

"I've never heard Zijin mention it!"

The uneasiness in Yu Xiao's heart was amplified even more. If the two of them just met each other, there would be no reason for Jin'er to hide it from him.But how long have they met, why did he never know?How much did Zijin hide from herself?

If Lin Zijin's departure had something to do with the Empress Dowager, then Yu Xiao couldn't go to Lingrui Palace to search for someone, he pretended to visit, and when he was chatting with the Empress Dowager in Lingrui Palace, he asked Qingyan to search secretly. The result is still nothing.Zijin was not at the mother's place, and the city gate also reported that General Lin was not found, so where else would he go?

Why did you leave without saying anything?Zijin, Jiner, what happened to make you leave me?Come back, okay...

It has been three days since we set off, and Lin Zijin was listening to Kui Lang talking to him about the local customs and customs in Liufeng, and telling him anecdotes about his own childhood. Although there were only two people in the carriage, the chatter and laughter continued. Pass.In order to hurry, they will not deliberately find the inn, and sometimes they will rest wherever they go at night.

"Ahem..."

The temperature difference in early spring was huge, and after nightfall, the temperature began to drop sharply, and Lin Zijin began to cough again, and Lin Zijin recently discovered that the more he was weak, the more intense the fragrance would be.

At night, Lin Zijin and Kui Lang agreed to gather firewood by themselves, while Kui Lang went to find food.So the two of them moved separately, Lin Zijin was bending over to pick up wooden branches in the woods to the east, he didn't realize that there was a pair of bright eyes looking at him in the grass on the opposite side, until the amber eyes gradually approached, Lin Zijin heard He looked up and found that it was a wolf approaching him.

Lin Zijin wanted to draw out his sword, but found it was in the carriage. The wolf grunted towards Lin Zijin and walked towards him slowly.

This distance is too short, if Lin Zijin turns around and runs away at this time, he will definitely not be able to run away from the wolf, and turning his back to it will only give the wolf convenience.It would be better to fight head-on. Just when Lin Zijin was about to pick up a branch from the ground as a weapon, the wolf suddenly rushed over, threw Lin Zijin down, aimed at the neck of the prey, and bit it down. Fortunately, Lin Zijin With agility, he put the branch he had just picked up in the wolf's mouth, avoiding the attack, and then Lin Zijin punched the wild wolf. The wolf got even more angry after being punched, and suddenly rushed towards Lin Zijin again. When the wolf was about to bite Lin Zijin, he suddenly collapsed powerlessly, with the firewood that Lin Zijin was picking up stuck in his stomach.

"Zijin, are you alright?!"

Kui Lang was picking wild fruits. He heard some noises and came over to check. He happened to see a hungry wolf pounced on Lin Zijin. However, Lin Zijin was the one who killed the enemy after all. I saw Lin Zijin calmly stabbing the hungry wolf with a thin wooden branch, subduing it.

"fine."

After getting close, Kui Lang realized that this wolf did not come by coincidence, but was lured by Lin Zijin's fragrance.

"Zijin, why is the smell on your body getting stronger and stronger?! Has the poison spread?!"

"Yes."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Kui Lang, Lin Zijin admitted it.

"You ate wild spirit seeds?!"

"I don't know, it's just that one day Gongzhong took the tonic by mistake. At that time, he suddenly felt extremely painful in the abdomen, and then he felt that the toxicity worsened."

"The more the toxicity spreads, the shorter the survival time! How can you eat this medicinal thing?!"

Lin Zijin smiled helplessly. At that time, Yu Xiao only found the imperial physician because he cared about him. If he hadn't concealed the poisoning from the imperial physician, the imperial physician might not have allowed him to ingest the poison by mistake. In the end, it was his own fault.

"Damn it! We have to go back to Liufeng!"

Kui Lang hugged Lin Zijin, he really hoped that it was Kui Lang who was poisoned at this moment, and not the person in front of him who had redeemed him.

"Kui Lang, tell me the truth, you lied to me when you said your master could prepare the antidote, right?"
