At the end of spring, the closer to the south, the hotter the weather will be. After a few rains, the hot and humid atmosphere will become stronger.
At the tea stand by the post road, Tian Xiao took a big sip of tea while holding the tea bowl, he smacked his lips, and took another small sip. He was drinking happily, but Yu Yao frowned Shen Ning listened carefully to the mutterings of the people at the next table: "Ten days ago, it was said that a criminal came out of the capital."
"Isn't that right? The next day, the Imperial Army dispatched the whole city to search for it. Hey, I heard that there was an imperial edict ordering all states and counties to arrest him. Who do you think is running away?"
"Who knows, anyway, the imperial court in the north can't control our coming to the south. With those people here, how could the emperor take action casually..."
Yu Yao took a sip of tea lightly, thinking in her mind that the imperial court would naturally not make any big moves in the south, but if they just wanted to find someone, it would be enough to send some imperial guards to do it in the dark. She has only recovered 70% to 80% of her martial arts now. If she encounters a master, she should not be able to please her. It seems that she has to take a different path tonight...
"Yuyao." Tian Xiao called her, just as Yu Yao raised her head, Tian Xiao's fingertips gently rubbed between her brows, "You are frowning."
Having been together day and night for many days, Yuyao has become accustomed to Tianxiao's touch, she let his fingertips smooth the center of her brows, and then said: "Have you rested yet? We should go."
Tianxiao nodded, but sat still, stared at Yuyao for a while, and said, "Have we reached the south yet?" Seeing Yuyao's nod, he asked again, "Then are you going to do the mission?" Yu Yao replied, he immediately grabbed Yu Yao's hand and said nervously, "I'll go with you! Don't keep thinking about sending me to another place, okay? I don't like others, I only like you."
A sudden confession pierced Yuyao's heart like an arrow, she seemed to hear the sound of her heart beating, blood rushed to her face, making her cheeks flushed red, she coughed, looked away, but glanced to the side to search The ambiguous look cast by the waiter in the tea bowl.
"Oh, this husband really loves the little lady, why does the lady have to send the husband away?"
When others asked this question, Tian Xiao immediately revealed the grievance that had been pent up all the way in his heart: "Well! You don't have to send me away! I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to go back to any country..." He said this quickly, Yu Yu It's too late for Yao to stop her. After hearing this, Xiaoer next to her had a murderous look in her eyes, and Yu Yao glared at him immediately, she quickly drew her sword out of its sheath, and there was only a "ding" sound between the light and flint, and the blade and the little secondhand's hand The daggers rubbed against each other and sparked.
Tian Xiao was shocked, Yu Yao kicked over the table, grabbed Tian Xiao's hand and ran away: "Stupid here waiting to die!"
Xiaoer shouted loudly: "It's them!"
The rest of the hidden people in the tea stand jumped out immediately, and the rest of the customers fled in all directions. Yu Yao couldn't run fast with Tian Xiao, and scolded: "You are so useless as a man!"
Tian Xiao was scolded without saying a word, he knew that he was a burden, when the rebels invaded the palace more than ten years ago, and now when he is being hunted down... But now, he doesn't want to be so useless, he also wants to protect Yuyao. Tian Xiao suddenly said: "Yuyao, I, I'll go with them." He ran out of breath, "This way they won't chase you."
That's right, leaving Tian Xiao behind is the best way. Tian Xiao and her are not relatives, and she has troubled her so much along the way. If she had done it before, she would have left him long ago, but Tian Xiao can't, she I don't know why it doesn't work, but there is a voice in my heart telling her, Tian Xiao can't, she has to save him.
Because... unconsciously, she couldn't bear to see his aggrieved expression.
