sinking into sand

When it was getting dark, Yu Wangling woke up in the inn.

He was sore.Guan Lan touched his numb tendons, and his blood was not flowing smoothly.A few hours later, the numb tendons dissipated and the blood flowed slowly, but the rope was still tied on his body.His expression did not change, until all the numbness in his body dissipated.Then he took out a small knife from his sleeve and cut the rope with his hands behind his back.

Yu Wangling stood up and quietly looked at the guest rooms of the inn.One can tell it is extremely old at a glance, and I don't know when Yu Sha took it down.It may not even be his order, but it is also possible that it is only leased.Over the years, he knew that Yu Sha had been arranging a way out for himself.He also asked someone to investigate, but there was no news.Seeing this inn now is much clearer.

Although the Lijiang River has been rich and wealthy in the past few years, the Prince Li's Mansion has been lazy in political affairs, and many people have moved to the south.Household registration and some documents are very vague and difficult to find out.That is to say, a few decent square markets are still clear.The ones in Pingchunfang are so old over the years.I really don't know where to go to check it, and I don't know how many times I have passed through it in the middle.

"He will hide." Yu Wangling smiled.After sitting for a while, he got up.Skirt 2 San Ling Liu% Chive 2# San Ling Liu

There were not many people in the inn, only Si En and Mu Yao were sitting in the lobby.

Hearing a voice upstairs, Mu Yao and Si En both looked up.Seeing them looking up, Yu Wangling smiled again while standing on the stairs looking down.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Mu."

On Jinping Mountain, Zhai Su rode his horse up the mountain to clean up the scene himself.Xiang Feibai had been waiting on it for a long time, and seeing Zhai Su arrived, he cupped his hands and saluted: "General Zhai."

Zhai Su sat on the horseback, condescending, did not return the salute, and only asked two words: "What about him?"

He didn't call the name, but Xiang Feibai didn't know, so he said: "His Royal Highness is resting not far away, I will lead the general there."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and waited for Zhai Su to go to a resting pavilion under the cliff.Not only is Xie Jingrong in the pavilion at the moment, Madam Lingyun is also here, but the hairpin rings have fallen a lot, and the bun is also loose.

Zhai Su's war horse was still far away, and Mrs. Lingyun had already seen it.Standing up suddenly, staring at the horse coming.

Naturally, Xie Jingrong also saw the horse, she was a step behind Madam Lingyun, she also stood up, and walked out of the pavilion.

Zhai Su's horse ran closer and finally saw Xie Jingrong.He checked that the other party had no injuries, then he bowed down and scooped up Xie Jingrong onto his horse's back.

"It's all right." He placed the person in front of him and whispered to Xie Jingrong.

"I'm fine, and I'm not injured." Seeing Zhai Su coming, Xie Jingrong was both pleasantly surprised and worried, "Why did you come? Didn't you suppress the bandits in Fanyang? And today on the Raolanping..."

"Don't worry about it." Zhai Su patted his head and wiped away a spot of blood on Xie Jingrong's face, "I'm here, I'm fine."

Xie Jingrong originally wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but seeing his attitude and being outside, it was not easy to ask, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Zhai Su has found someone, so there is no need to worry about other matters. He rode up to Xiang Feibai and said in a deep voice, "The Iron Armored Army will be stationed outside the city. For other searches or trivial matters, ask my adjutant. Go ahead."

After all, he didn't care whether Xiang Feibai agreed or not, and left without a trace.

Xiang Feibai's hand was stuck in the middle of the salute, and he didn't know whether the salute should continue, so he laughed and put his hand down.

Zhai Su's matter is considered to be over, it's just that there is a wave of unrest and another wave.

As soon as Xiang Fei put down his white hands, he heard Madam Lingyun's voice behind him.

"Item manager."

Madam Lingyun's voice was unsteady, and even icy. Xiang Feibai knew it would be difficult to get past this time, but there was nothing he could do, so he turned around and bowed to Madam Lingyun, and said, "It's just me Now, I don’t know what Madam’s orders are.”

"Heh." Madam Lingyun sneered: "How dare I order Guanshi Xiang, but I just want to ask, today's Lanping, Jinzhan Pavilion, and General Zhai Su, who was supposed to suppress bandits in Fanyang... ...all of this...what the hell is going on!"

Madam Lingyun was indeed very frightened and angry. After a sentence, there was already anger, and her voice became sharp.

Xiang Feibai really has a good temper cultivated by working all the year round, his expression has not changed, and he said slowly: "Madam, why bother, there are various reasons here, I will naturally tell Madam that I know about it in the future, let alone..."

Xiang Fei paused for a moment, then said: "If Dingzhou can win, wouldn't it be a great thing for Madam?"

Madam Lingyun asked these words, she closed her mouth, pressed her lips tightly, and gradually looked at Xiang Feibai with unkind eyes.

"Does Jinzhan Pavilion want to replace Prince Li's Mansion?" Mrs. Lingyun asked.

Xiang Feibai smiled: "How can I answer such a matter? Ma'am, there is no need to worry. As soon as the matter is resolved, arrangements have been made. Madam naturally has the position of Madam. Now, please go back to the house first."

The corner of Madam Lingyun's mouth twitched, revealing a smirk.

She still holds her head high and maintains the dignity of the princess of Prince Li's Mansion, even though this dignity is about to become a joke.

She walked away.

At this moment, in Pingchunfang, Ye Wanwan and his party finally entered the city with the armored army and marched into Pingchunfang.

There were so many people ostentatiously, Ye Wanwan had no choice but to disperse the crowd first, and brought only one person back to the inn.

In the inn, Si En had already left, only Xun Er was left alone with Lu Hua's body in the backyard, and Mu Yao was not there, saying that he was going to buy things he needed for the funeral.

Ye Wanwan came back to look for Guan Lan. She searched up and down, but found no one, so she had no choice but to go to the backyard to ask Xun Er.

Xun Er's eyes were swollen from crying, and the two sides talked for a while before Xun Er realized what Ye Wanwan was asking, and replied, "He seems to have gone to find my brother."

"Then why did your brother go? When will you be back?" Ye Wanwan was anxious to find Guan Lan so she could leave the city, so she asked her repeatedly.

Xun Er was dumbfounded by the question, and she actually didn't know what her brother was doing.No, didn't his brother go out with Guan Lan?How come back separately, one has to find another.

She became nervous when she was asked, and asked Ye Wanwan if something happened on Lanping.Ye Wanwan was also upset, seeing that Xun Er really couldn't ask anything here.I didn't have the patience to tell her what happened.It was the guard who had been accompanying Xun Er at the inn all the time, who couldn't see Xun Er's anxious look, and asked a few more questions in a low voice.

Ye Wanwan looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Is there anything wrong with you, boy, did you develop friendship with this girl after a night?"

The guard hurriedly waved his hands to clarify the relationship, and explained: "What did the princess say, I just heard the pipa from Xun Er girl, and I can't bear her to be upset about this matter."

Ye Wanwan was most annoyed by these romantic things, and after hearing half a sentence, she irritatedly told the guard to shut up, thought for a while, and then asked Xun Er: "Sister like this, does your brother have another place to stay in Lijiang City?" place, tell me."

Naturally, this inn in Yunliu Lane was not the only place where Yu Sha stayed in Lijiang City.

On a poor street in Zilufang, a few beggars squatted on the side of the road watching the passers-by.The weather is still cold recently, the children here have thin clothes, and many people suffer from colds.One had snot running down his chin, so he wiped it off a piece of wood and continued to squat on the side of the street.

At this time, three or four days had passed since the Iron Armored Army entered the city.

That day, the Iron Armored Army entered the city from the east gate, and the news about Lanping gradually spread.

It is said that the Guan family from the northern border rioted in front of Yu Shaomiao for some reason and killed many people.Fortunately, the Iron Armored Army was stationed nearby to stop the riot.

After the riot subsided, the Iron Armored Army deployed its troops at the foot of Jinping Mountain first, and also helped the residents of Ping'enfang put out the fire.Then slowly cleaned up the corpses on the Raolanping. It is said that many people died.After these things were done, they searched the city one by one, saying that they wanted to find out the murderer on Lanping.

These armored soldiers are not the usual disciples in the Jinzhan Pavilion, nor are they the soldiers of Prince Li's mansion.The officers and soldiers under Zhai Su's banner were very strict in running the army, and these sergeants were also extremely cold and ruthless, disregarding their feelings.It made the people of the Lijiang River more silent these days than when the disciples of the Jinzhan Pavilion were patrolling.

Also because of this, these little beggars who hung out in Zilufang did not go to other places to beg for food these days.Just waiting on the side of the street in Zilufang.

As soon as the sun turned a little to the west, a carriage drove over from afar at the beginning of the street.The style of this carriage is completely different from that of this messy market, and the materials are excellent, but the doors and lathes are tightly covered with dark blue curtains, so that the appearance of the people in the carriage cannot be seen clearly.

When the little beggars saw the carriage approaching, they all perked up and moved forward one by one.She is also sensible, although anxious, but no one really blocked the way.

The carriage shuttled slowly through the alleys of Zilu Lane like this, a pair of hands stretched out from the window, grabbed a few oiled paper bags and threw them down.

That's what the little beggars were waiting for. They grabbed a greased paper bag with their small hands and hid aside.Those who are greedy and want to get more will be squeezed away or spit on by others.

The oiled paper bag was still warm, with a big steamed bun and some pickles inside.Once a day, the right is to help those who cannot go out to beg for food because the Iron Armored Army entered the city.

The carriage drove slowly across the street, the oiled paper packets were distributed, and everyone dispersed.The coachman silently found a secluded place and parked the carriage.At this time, a person wearing a black hat and dark women's clothing came down from the carriage, and looked like a young woman from a distance.

The young woman took a basket, gave a few instructions to the coachman, and went down a lane to the depths of the workshop alone.

The man turned several corners and suddenly came to a square with a single courtyard.Although there is a single courtyard, because the house is built by the canal, the place is narrow and damp, and there are many fishing equipment in the courtyard, which makes it even more gloomy.

The young woman ignored the things in the courtyard, walked straight over and pushed the door of the main room, and put the basket in her hand on the table in the hall of the main room.Only then did he take off the bamboo hat and went into the house again.

There is a big bed in the back room, the windows are open, and the sunlight leaks in through the windows, adding a bit of sunshine to the damp and dark room.Yu Sha was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Guan Lan's hand, rubbing it up and down.

Guan Lan was originally white, and he was injured in Jinzhan Pavilion before and left a lot of blood.At this time, the person lost all color, and his hands were even more dazzlingly white, as if there was no warmth at all.Yu Sha didn't have anything else to do, just rub it on the ground, as if if he rubbed it more, the blood on his hands would come back.

This scene fell into Hua Chui's eyes, and somehow he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was superfluous and shouldn't be here.

But he really can't leave, there's nothing else to say right now.

He coughed dryly, and Yu Sha heard it, so he stopped rubbing Guan Lan's hands and glanced at him.Hua Chuibi saw that the anger in Yu Sha's eyes was lighter than that of the previous two days, so she calmed down unconsciously: "Don't worry too much, didn't the doctor tell you all about it. He has hurt his lungs now, and his blood is weak. I can’t wake up. I’ll take care of him for a few days and wait for his internal injuries to heal, and then he’ll wake up.”

Yu Sha ignored his words, and said calmly, "What's the matter with you?"

Seeing his attitude, Hua Chuibi was a little annoyed. She knew that she shouldn't have cared about him when she received the news from Yu Sha a few days ago, so why bother to suffer such annoyance here.

But that being said, he was there on the spot when Yu Sha and Guan Lan had arguing in Jinzhan Pavilion that day, so naturally he knew everything about it.Aside from other things, although Yu Sha still complained a bit about Yu Sha for not caring about the bliss party, he still admired him a little.

Thinking of this, he also felt that there was no need to compare himself with the half-dead Yu Sha, so he directly stated his intentions.

"Your sister, it seems that you are still related to the family. These days, you have been checking for news about you in Pingchunfang. When are you going back? Oh, by the way, and those armored soldiers should search Zilufang and Pingchunfang the day after tomorrow. Chunfang is here, what are your plans?"

After all, seeing the indifferent look on Yu Sha's face, he added a special sentence: "I advise you to order some snacks. I let Xiao Liu and the others touch them. These Iron Armored Army are not the old wine bags and rice bags. They want to pass through the waterway to those Fangshizang, which has already been investigated, is not so easy, and there are more." He raised his eyebrows at Guan Lan who was lying on the bed: "You can say that the wounds on the whole body of the person on the bed, as well as internal injuries, can't walk through the waterway .”

Why didn't Yu Sha know this? He looked at Guan Lan's face again.For several days, I just lay there, and I had a fever at first.Now the fever has subsided, but there is no blood on the face.

"What about the city gate?" He asked Hua Chuibi.

"It's the same." Hua Cuibi found a wall to lean against, "The east and west gates are heavily guarded, and the people who go out, whether they are farmers or merchants, all packages have to be opened and inspected, even if you are dismembered. You can't take people out."

Yu Sha didn't speak. He felt a bit of wind blowing, so he half closed the window.The sunlight in the room is much less, and it feels cold again.

Can't go on like this.

Yu Sha rubbed his hands that were also cold.The Li River is humid and the season is not good.Guan Lan already had injuries on his body, but now the injuries are compounded, if he suffers from typhoid fever after suffering in this place, it will become a serious illness at worst.

He blinked in vain, trying to concentrate.He hasn't slept much since the day he escaped with Guan Lan.Occasionally, when I close my eyes, it will be a series of nightmares, and I will wake up again after less than a moment of sleep.

"Find Ye Wanwan for me." After thinking for a while, Yu Sha lowered his head and said, "If it's convenient, arrange for us to meet."

Hua Chuibi frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"You can't hide like this." Yu Sha lowered his head and rubbed his fingers: "Guan Lan's injury cannot be sustained here. I don't know when the Iron Armored Army will leave, but I still have to leave the city as soon as possible."

Hua Cuibi couldn't bear to listen, and choked: "Hey, what beautiful things are you thinking?"

"There is a way." Yu Sha muttered in a low voice, looking at Guan Lan on the bed: "There may be no way these days, but in the future, many people will have to leave the city."

"I have to? What are you talking about?" There was no reason for what he said, and Hua Cuibi didn't answer his words.

"A lot of people died, didn't they?" Yu Sha said lightly, "When people die, of course they have to be buried, don't they?"
