Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Mu Lin's face turned pale: "Is it... came to chase us?"

Xiao Zirong shook his head: "I don't know."

The people who chased them before had no horses. After all, they came by boat, and the boat they got over was not a boat.

It is not impossible to say that the other party feels that it is not easy to search and directly find the nearest state capital to dispatch cavalry.

Although this is a war zone, not every place is a battlefield. It is normal for soldiers and horses of both sides to freely exchange in non-battlefield areas.

Xiao Zirong stood up and said, "Hide first."

The place where they settled was relatively open and there were no trees, so they could only find nearby stones or dirt slopes to lie there for a little hiding.

After they got down, the team of cavalry quickly appeared in their field of vision.

The horses were all trotting, not too fast, and the cavalry outside were all holding torches, fully showing their faces and clothes.

Xiao Zirong recognized it and heaved a sigh of relief, his voice was full of joy: "It's Xueziying."

Mu Lin naturally knew the existence of Xueziying, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but moved closer to Xiao Zirong.

With his identity, he can only be taken as a prisoner when he encounters Xueziying. Although he doesn't know what Xiao Zirong will do, but for the sake of sharing weal and woe, the other party should be able to keep him alive, right?

Xiao Zirong had already got up when he saw Xue Ziying.

The cavalry of the Xueziying were shocked when they saw two mud monkeys suddenly appearing on the side of the road, and instantly changed their formation to stand ready.

But at this time Xiao Zirong had already seen the face of the leader, and couldn't help shouting: "Ling Fu!"

The leader of the team was Ling Fu. He frowned when he heard someone calling him, tried to identify the two mud monkeys and asked a little bit later: "Who are you?"

If it wasn't for the familiar voice, he would have ordered the two of them to be arrested and questioned quickly.

He led the team on a mission today to a relatively remote place. There are generally no residents here, but people dressed as fishermen appeared instead. Who knows what happened.

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment before realizing that his face was a bit dirty, so he quickly soaked a cloth towel with water, then wiped his face and said, "It's me, don't, don't, don't come here, stand where you are, I'm a bit dangerous .”

When Ling Fu saw Xiao Zirong's face, he almost fell off his horse in fright: "Your Highness!"

Mu Lin on the side was terrified when he heard this sound, and said incoherently: "Your Highness? What Your Highness?"

Xiao Zirong pressed Mu Lin's hand and said, "We'll talk later."

Ling Fu stood there obediently and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the general is very worried about you, hurry up and go back with us."

Ling Fu was Xiao Xuexing's confidant, of course he knew about Xiao Zirong's disappearance after he fled to Wei State, and this war was because Xiao Zirong was only half and half.

The city they occupied before is a bit lonely, so they have already discussed whether to take down two more to form a corner.

It's just that fighting a war is a major event, and it will not be decided lightly. Even if the war is over, it will have to wait for a while. Xiao Zirong's disappearance just made this war earlier.

Oh, by the way, Xiao Xuexing changed the plan a little more radically.

Recently, there has been no news from Xiao Zirong. Xiao Xuexing's mood is visibly bad to the naked eye, and everyone seems gloomy. Ling Fu sees that he is anxious, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get any news from Xiao Zirong.

I didn't expect to see the other party here.

Xiao Zirong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's me. You all stand back, and you stand where you are alone. I have something to tell you."

Ling Fu keenly sensed that something was wrong, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Lin beside Xiao Zirong, thinking that this mud monkey was holding His Highness hostage.

As a result, Mu Lin was taken aback by his sharp gaze, and shrank directly behind Xiao Zirong.

Ling Fu: ...

This coward... doesn't look like he can threaten His Highness Xuancheng.

Xiao Zirong and the others had almost retreated. After hearing their words, they estimated the distance between him and Ling Fu, which was about one meter away. The plague, I think I want to use the plague to deal with my brother... Regent, you send someone back to inform him that some information I brought back may be useful, but I may have been infected by the plague, and now I don’t see anything, you still stay away from me Stay away and be careful of getting infected."

He asked people to retreat just now. On the one hand, he was worried that the cavalry would be infected, and on the other hand, he was worried that if the news spread, it would cause panic, so he tried to use a low voice that Ling Fu could hear, so as not to let others know.

Ling Fu's expression was already very serious when he heard the front, and turned pale when he heard the back.

Even though he had seen many storms, he couldn't help trembling and said: "Your Highness, don't make fun of this..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Zirong put the alcohol-sprayed towel back on and said, "I'm not kidding, Yuan Ke is sending people to hunt us down now, you let your people stay away from us to protect us to a place with few people Settle down."

He paused and said, "We should be able to tell in about a month whether we are infected or not."

Ling Fu bit the tip of his tongue bitterly, thought for a while, turned his head and shouted: "Spare up two horses."

Xiao Zirong understood what he meant and quickly said, "One horse is enough."

Mu Lin is not very old now, and he has just grown up, so he is not very heavy, a horse will do.

The cavalry and horses under his brother's hands are precious, what if the horses can also be infected?

After the cavalryman brought the horse over, he retreated and took a ride with his comrades. Xiao Zirong pulled Mu Lin onto the horse. He sat behind Mu Lin and controlled the reins. He kept a distance from Ling Fu and the others and said, "Let's go." Bar."

Ling Fu was silent for a while, wiped his face and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

He led two or three people to lead the way, followed by Xiao Zirong and Mu Lin, followed by other cavalry far behind, the distance between them was the safe distance set by Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong followed Ling Fu all the way to a village outside Yuzhou City.

There were no people in this village anymore, Xiao Zirong took a look and knew that they were all fleeing, probably not his brother who sent people to fortify the wall and clear the country.

The two of them found a house and settled down a little tiredly, and said: "Wait a minute, I'll clean up this rattan box, you take it back, be careful, let my brother wipe it again with alcohol, it's best not to let him bump."

Xiao Zirong took out the remaining dry food inside, wiped the rattan box with a cloth towel soaked in alcohol, and put it outside.

After he retreated far away, Ling Fu sent someone to take the rattan box back.

Ling Fu looked at Xiao Zirong very sadly, pursed his lips and said: "His Highness, wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to bring some things over."

Xiao Zirong nodded: "Just deliver the supplies, don't send anyone over here."

After a pause, he continued, "If possible, tell my brother not to come either. He is very important now, so there must be no mistakes."

After hearing this, Ling Fu smiled wryly and said, "Even if I tell you, the general may not listen. Well, I'll go back and report first."

Not only did Ling Fu arrange people to protect them, but the supplies were also delivered quickly. Xiao Zirong asked them to put down the things and leave before picking them up.

Clothes and bedding are available, as well as newly prepared food, and there is a well in the village.

Although the conditions were not particularly good, and there was no one to take care of her, at least Xiao Zirong's tense nerves relaxed immediately after arriving in his own territory.

Mu Lin finally waited until the two were alone together, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why do they call you Your Highness?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at him and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is not Xiao Wen, but my surname is Xiao, and my name is Zirong."

Xiao Zirong... Xiao Zirong...

Mu Lin lowered his head and muttered a few words, then suddenly his face changed and he looked up at him in disbelief and asked, "What? You are the king of Xuancheng of Qi?"

Xiao Zirong nodded very calmly, and Mu Lin's expression went blank for a moment.

He was originally standing, and after a moment of confusion, he probably wanted to sit down, but his limbs seemed to be uncomfortable, and he didn't look at where the stool was, so he sat on the ground directly.

After Mu Lin fell to the ground, he didn't get up at all, his expression seemed to be spoiled.

Xiao Zirong looked amused at his appearance, couldn't help squatting down and shaking his hands in front of his eyes and asked, "What's the matter? Are you scared? I didn't realize you were so scared on the road. "

Although Mu Lin was a bit delicate, he was actually very tough. He was able to escape with Xiao Zirong all the way until he met Ling Fu. Although he complained on the way, he never cried or made trouble, so Xiao Zirong treated him a lot. Two points tolerance.

Otherwise, if he is really that kind of small workman, Xiao Zirong would have been impatient for a long time, and it would be impossible to leave him alone. After all, Mu Lin brought him out from the guards guarding the underground palace smoothly, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace. .

If it wasn't for Mu Lin, he would have trouble coming out.

Mu Lin stared blankly at him for a long while before groaning, pointing at him tremblingly, and said, "You...you...you...why did you come to Wei? Did you already know something?"

Xiao Zirong was silent for a while, feeling a little embarrassed: "Do you believe me when I say it was all an accident?"

Mu Lin seemed to be hit hard, sitting on the ground with his knees hugged, like an autistic child who doesn't want to communicate with the outside world.

Xiao Zi touched his face and thought about it, if it was changed, he might not be able to react, so he didn't bother him anymore, he was going to get some water to wash up.

He has been dirty for many days to avoid pursuers, and he is about to reach the limit of endurance.

However, when he went out to look for the well, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a group of knights galloping here.

The leading one was clad in black armor, with a scarlet cloak billowing in the wind.

Even if he couldn't see the other person's eyebrows, he knew it was Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Zirong stood there staring blankly for a long while, only to realize that the team of cavalry had approached the village infinitely before he came back to his senses, stepped back a few steps and shouted: "Don't come here."

When he said this, he realized that he was already a little choked up, and his eyes were a little sore.

He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said again: "Don't come here."
