The third year after the death of the emperor

There is a cat with a different status in Qingyu Temple, which is the cat that Xie Wen and he once raised together.It is a long-haired jade lion.

Under the supervision of the little eunuch, he stayed in the palace to raise the cat for half a month, during which time no one came to ask, but Xie Wen knew in his heart that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him intently around Qingyu Temple, as if Xiao Xuanqian was ready to catch his minions at any time.

"The Jade Lion doesn't know you anymore." The system murmured in his mind, "It's so pitiful, like a child whose parents quarreled. Although the dog emperor raised him to be white and fat, but..."

"I left it first." Xie Wen looked at the cat and said to the system, "You were not like this before, didn't you say that everyone in this world is the epitome of a book, so there is no need to worry about it A cardboard man? Why now you can even chatter about whether a cat is alone or not all day long."

Tongtong was silent for a moment, and muttered: "That's what I said, but you didn't do it this way. I said that we choose the easiest way to complete the task, but you don't care about the sixth prince who is like a puppet. Leave Xiao Jiu alone, what about now? Do you think Xiao Jiu let you go?"

"How do I know that a good child will grow up like this." Xie Wen rubbed her chin.

"Please, in the original script, he is a big villain, a bad guy, you just push the limit, right?" Tongtong said with a headache, "It's been half a month, why don't we leave?"

"Go." Xie Wen said, "I'm waiting for an opportunity."

This opportunity, which was half a month late, came that night.After nightfall, when Xie Wen was still asleep on the bed, she suddenly heard the crackling sounds on the beams of the room.

Then, a dark shadow came in from the window, he touched it lightly, lifted the corner of the quilt on Xie Wen's body, and swam over with his palm like a fish, while grabbing Xie Wen's wrist, Turn over on one side.

Just when the shadow was about to touch the face of the person on the bed, the royal cat on the beam suddenly let out a cry.The man was taken aback, his heart was pounding, and just as he was about to continue, he suddenly felt something cold and sharp on his back, almost bleeding out.

He turned pale with shock, and Xie Wen immediately shut his mouth, turned around and was overwhelmed and restrained on the couch.

"Woooooo-"

"Hush." ​​Xie Wen looked at him with a smile, "Shut up if you want to live."

The other party shut up with tears.

Xie Wen raised her hand and tore off his face scarf, she was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but smile at her original face, "Tell me, which minister with no eyesight sent you here, you went the wrong way, You should clean your neck to please the emperor, and exchange your life for a favor for your master, instead of going astray like a flower picker and running to my bed."

The man with the human/skin/mask whimpered, and said aggrievedly, "I'm a flower picker?"

"This is Ziwei Palace." Xie Wen stared at him.

The man poked his neck and blushed and said: "Hey, this is Ziwei Palace, I thought it was the emperor's harem, I wanted to wear a special colored hat for the most noble person in the whole world. "

The dog couldn't spit out ivory, and before he finished speaking, he was shocked by the little boy's doting eyes.Caihua said that the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and he is so imposing even to find a male favorite, and then the mask on his face was torn off by Xie Wen.

He almost lost his eyeballs: "How do you know..."

"Shut up." Xie Wen said, "Where did this mask come from?"

The man moved his throat and gulped his saliva: "Master Zhou said that having this mask is equivalent to having a life-saving talisman. Even if I miss, I can save my life."

Save your life?You can't even keep a whole body.Xie Wen probably knew that this was the person Zhou Mian got here. He took off the disguise on his face and covered the opponent's face intact. The mask specially provided by the system blended into Caihua without any hindrance. thief's face.

The flower picker stared wide-eyed, watching this operation that he couldn't understand. He stared at Xie Wen's original face, his throat seemed to be stuck: "You, you look like this? I can't pinch it. I dare not pinch it like this..."

"I know what Zhou Mian means." Xie Wen said quickly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for saving you. Even if you were fooled, as long as you listen to what I say and do it word for word, you will not only survive Go back and get paid a lot."

The other party blushed and said thickly: "When did I say that I am Master Zhou's retainer? Don't talk nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with Master Zhou." Xie Wen raised her hand to her lower lip, signaling him not to speak, and then explained a few Then he said: "Zhou Mian and you have bothered to enter the Ziwei Palace without disturbing the imperial army. But I think your IQ is worrying. In this way, you can sleep peacefully tonight and talk less tomorrow. It only takes one day." In one night, I can get away completely."

The flower picker was completely stunned. He sat on the bed and muttered, "Is that what Master Zhou meant by asking me to come? Didn't he ask me to put a hat on the emperor? It's weird..."

Before he came back to his senses, he found that the "male pet" had disappeared. In the entire cold and simple palace, there was only a white long-haired cat sitting opposite. The jade lion's eyes were round and clear, looking at it like a child. He—more like guarding him for someone.

The flower picker shivered all over, and obediently slipped into the quilt.

Xie Wen is no less familiar with Ziwei Palace than anyone else, and he can leave at night without disturbing the imperial army, but if he cannot be guaranteed to get away completely, doing so will only scare the snake away.But to escape to a place that Xiao Xuanqian could not easily find, it would take at least a day and a night, and this was the time that must be won.

The gate of the palace was opened, and under the darkness of night, in the bamboo forest not far from Ziwei Palace, there was indeed a carriage parked.Xie Wen got into the car, the coachman cupped his hands at him under the night, and the carriage sped away.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the road was so dense that it was a headache.Xie Wen changed her robe in front of Zhou Mian, raised her eyes and glanced at the person opposite: "What's the matter with that little flower picker?"

The other person on the carriage - Huben Zhonglang General Zhou Mian sat opposite him with a big horse: "I searched for half a month before I found someone who could sneak into Ziwei Palace without being discovered, leave him alone." What happened to his brain. As long as everything is done, I will find a way to get him out after you leave. Let Xie Yulang's identity disappear from now on."

"Okay." Xie Wen said, "Thank you this time."

Zhou Mian shook his head and said: "Your identity is already a dead person in this world. If I don't save you, no one else can help you. Huaiyu, you can't have any more expectations for him, he won't Let you go."

"I understand." Xie Wen's clothes had changed. He tore off the extra camouflage and looked at the burning candles in the carriage. "What's the matter with him? Three years have passed, what's the new hatred? Still want to settle accounts with me?"

Zhou Mian looked at him silently. Under the light of the candlelight, the two who hadn't seen each other for three years felt a sense of strangeness for a while.His gaze stayed between Xie Wen's eyebrows and eyes, and the hand on his leg moved, as if he wanted to lift it up, but he pressed it on his knee restrainedly.

"He... he is not reconciled."

"Aren't you reconciled that you didn't really kill me?"

Zhou Mian's Adam's apple rolled: "Perhaps."

After he said these two words, he quickly lowered his head and poured a cup of tea. The tea was constantly shaking in the cup as the carriage galloped.

"Cui Sheng and Guo Jin are his confidantes. These two dogs have too sharp noses. I can't help you sooner. It took half a month to find such an opportunity to mobilize the guards."

"It came sooner than I expected." Xie Wen took his tea, "Ziyue, I will go out of Beijing tonight, and I will go directly to Qiongdu. You have reached the point where you are now, and you have done your best. You can't take any more risks."

Zhou Mian frowned, and said, "I have a foreign house in the middle of Beijing, all the gold and silver are ready, you stay and rest for a while, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the horse driven by the coachman kicked up high and neighed, the whole carriage shook violently, and was suddenly stopped in place.

The night is thick, and the autumn moon is like frost.Xie Wen felt a strong and heavy sense of uneasiness in his heart. He raised his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw the opposite side under the moonlight. In this wilderness, another carriage was parked quietly opposite.

A snow-white steed was in the center of the carriage. It was so majestic and motionless that it neighed and retreated in shock, trembling again and again.

In the suffocating silence, Zhou Mian shook the teacup in his hand, and just about to get up, Xie Wen pulled him back.Between the gaps in the curtains, the curtains with black edges and gold bottoms were pulled out from the carriage opposite, and a person who was extremely familiar and who should never have appeared at this moment stepped out of the carriage.

Xiao Xuanqian.

He was wearing a dark blue cloak, his clothes were slightly disheveled, and he did not wear a heavy and noble crown. Instead, his hair was half tied up and loose, and he stood in front of him like a blade. He looked over, as if he had already waited. a long time.

Zhou Mian took a low breath.

"It seems that the timing we are waiting for is not very good." Xie Wen stared at Xiao Xuanqian, "He is also waiting for this timing."

"He's not testing you, he's testing me." Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and said, sparks burst out of his eyes, and he unconsciously pressed his palm on the scabbard beside him.

His hand was held down by Xie Wen, and this slender, white, three-point soft finger pressed on the back of his hand, but it was almost immovable.Xie Wen looked at the lonely carriage, and also at the dense black shadows behind the carriage.

"Learning to be an apprentice, starving the master to death." He sighed, "I'm afraid it will hurt you."

Zhou Mian had a smack in his throat, and before he could speak, Xie Wen raised his hand and opened the curtain of the car, got up and went out.

Xie Wen stood in a place shrouded in moonlight, and the wind from the surrounding fields whizzed and blew over icy cold.He raised his head, exhaled slowly, and then looked at the person opposite.

Xiao Xuanqian also looked at him, the little wolf cub seemed to have been waiting for too long, he tried his best to regain his senses, almost doubting again and again that this was the continuous fantasy and nightmare for the past thousand days and nights, his breathing was tempered with a kind of With a bloody coldness.

Xiao Xuanqian walked over, and the sound of crunching dead leaves and cracking sounded from his footsteps on the ground.

"Teacher." He looked at the moonlight and called out.

Xie Wen has not heard this title for a long time.He smiled mockingly: "Your Majesty."

When other people's respect appeared in Xie Wen's mouth, it was cold and painful, but this pain made Xiao Xuanqian feel a little real, his eyes were focused on Xie Wen's face, and he said in a low voice: "Teacher, I found you Don't run away, don't leave me, the whole world is mine, you can't escape."
