Seeing Yan Qiqi's good speech, the old man's legs trembled slightly. He took the silver and stuffed it into his inner clothes. Then he whispered, "come with me."
It's much more convenient for someone to lead the way. A group of people walk through the streets and lanes at a fast speed.
Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I didn't expect to meet the patrol of the northern border.
There is a curfew at the border. No one is allowed to wander outside as soon as the time comes. The sharp eyed soldiers look at the old man on the watch and are about to turn around. When they look at him, they find that there are still dark shadows behind him. Looking at a large number of people, the soldiers are suspicious and want to ask them questions.
It's good to be found. The little old man didn't know where he came from. He shouted, "there's an official, run!"
He wanted to run for his life, and also wanted to escape. Gongsun Li couldn't let him succeed. Naturally, he had to keep up. Yan Qiqi could only follow. When the people behind saw that the leaders ran away, they naturally ran with him.
As soon as the patrol team saw that a group of people were running to the other end, it was greasy and dared not relax. At that time, it tightened its rein and pursued it.
They fled quickly, and the patrol kept on biting.
Fortunately, the old man was really familiar with the route. He led them through the East and West, but he was defeated.
Just running too fast, everyone began to sweat. When the wind blew, they felt cold.
Yan Qiqi stopped. As soon as she stopped, everyone else stopped and looked at each other. He didn't know what had happened. Ye Chao looked back and looked behind him. There were several sporadic torches in the distance. He wanted to follow up.
"Princess, we can't stay any longer. We have to go quickly."
There were pursuers in front and encircled, chased and intercepted in the back. The party took a few panting subordinates to hide, very embarrassed.
"What about the map? Didn't you say you were familiar with the route around here? Should we go that way? "
The old man who was caught to lead the way was already panting like a cow. The lack of water and food for a few days had forced the group to have no way to go. The old man had never seen such a scene again and was immediately frightened. If Gongsun Li hadn't pulled him, he would have been caught alive by the cavalry just now.
Xu Shian didn't expect that he would fall to such a point. He ran too fast. The map had long been lost. A group of people ran around like headless flies. If he went on like this, he was afraid that he would be scared to death before he was chased by soldiers.
Yan Qiqi gasped heavily and waved his hand. "We can't run any more. If we go on like this, we will still be caught." She turned and looked at the old man who led the way. "Old man, is there any way they won't easily catch up?"
She guessed that it would soon be dawn, and they could still run in the dark. But once it was dawn, so many people went out and didn't tell. The wanted notice of the regent for them would immediately reach all checkpoints and markets with a large flow of people. At that time, not only the soldiers chasing all the way, but the officers and men of the whole northern kingdom would receive the news. If they wanted to go again, it would be more difficult than going to heaven.
Xu Shian and Gongsun Li followed slowly. Although they didn't say anything, they were very clear in their hearts. She was very considerate. This was the only feasible way at present. They looked at the watchman together.
Gongsun Li got a sign and threw out a ingot of silver to the watchman. With the silver as the base, the watchman's eyes were shining. He wanted money and didn't want to die. He thought for a moment, "in fact, there is also a way. I just don't know whether the girl dared to go."
Now it's not a question of daring. As long as she can completely get rid of the pursuit, she is willing to try.
"And you?"
Yan Qiqi and Qi Yi can take risks, but there are so many lives behind them, and they also have the right to choose.
"Ye Chao will follow the princess to the death!"
"I will follow the princess to the death!"
The uniform voice made the watchman tremble. Gongsun Li's eyes coagulated and quickly pressed in the watchman's throat, "my lord sealed your acupoints first. As long as you lead the way obediently, you will be fine, but if you dare to think otherwise without authorization, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Gongsun Li was not easy to provoke at first sight. His generous hand was the second. He could move his hand without mercy. The watchman was frightened by his kindness first and then Wei. He nodded like pounding garlic, indicating that he heard it.
At first, I didn't know which one Gongsun Li sang. All the soldiers came back to their senses. Just now, they inadvertently exposed the identity of the princess. Fortunately, Gongsun Li reacted quickly.
"Thank you." Yan Qiqi didn't wriggle. If it's time to thank him, thank him.
Gongsun Li accepted it with a smile and turned to push the old man, "don't be stunned and lead the way."
The party walked for about half an hour. Suddenly, their eyes became very open. The sky not far away was as bright as day.
The exhausted guards were dumbfounded.
When Yan Qiqi searched for books in Cheng Guogong's study before, he also turned to the map of the northern kingdom. He also knew that the northern kingdom was the northernmost place on the whole road. It was windy and snowy all year round, and the snow could be above people's heads in the coldest time.
But she had never seen such a strange scene. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would really think she was dreaming. She looked up and looked into the distance. Half of the place was covered with snow, and the other half was the vast desert!
"Go, go, go back quickly. This is the end of the sky. No matter which side you choose, there will be no return. If you want to live, go back quickly!" The old man who led the way was struggling and yelling. Gongsun Li saw that he had something to say and untied his acupoints. He couldn't wait to say these words, and his eyes were very frightened.
Yan Qiqi heard this place for the first time, "the end of the sky?" Is it the end of the earth? She smiled at the thought of this. It seems that in modern times, books are read in vain, and she would still believe these nonsense.
"What should I do? Going back now is a dead end. The northerners will not let us go. "
Walking forward is also dead, and retreating is also dead. There is really no way.
Yan Qi raised his eyes and looked into the distance for a while, as if he had made up his mind, "are you willing to believe me?"
In the past, Sun Li, the evil Lord, who was handsome and charming and charmed thousands of girls, lost his style after several days of hard work. He looked like a vegetable and held a half dead old man in his hand. He smiled bitterly when he heard Yan Qiqi's words, "I have done everything in my life, but I haven't escaped my life. It's OK to experience it once with him, It's not worth walking in this world. Xu Shizi, what about you? "
