Since there were only a few of them staying in the entire inn, the sound at the gate was very clear.
It's the sound of footsteps, and there may be more than one sound.
Xiang Huanchao and Wanyao exchanged glances with Liang Hua, she covered her mouth and nodded, and the three of them immediately scrambled to the window.
The lifeless lantern on the porch was still swaying, and I wondered if I was startled by the chilly atmosphere around me, so I trembled a little.
Xiang Huan opened the window very slowly, and three pairs of eyes popped out, looking out cautiously.
On the ground floor stood several strong and rough men, all dressed in coir raincoats and bamboo hats, airtight from top to bottom, and their hands were all pressed on their waists, obviously armed with weapons of.
The leading man took a step forward, swept around, and after a while, a slender figure walked over with a candle lamp.
"It's the lady boss during the day." Wan Yao said in a low voice.
After the two got together, they started chatting, but because the distance was too far, they couldn't hear anything clearly. The proprietress handed over the lamp to the guy next to her, and offered to help the man take off his coir raincoat.
As soon as the bamboo hat was taken off, his thick hair shone under the light, and a small yellow bird feather jumped out of the bun. Xiang Huan's expression changed instantly when he saw this thing. He quickly closed the window and leaned heavily. sit against the wall.
"What's wrong?" Wan Yao asked quietly.
Xiang Huan took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, then opened his eyes and said seriously: "Turkic."
"What?" Liang Hua blurted out first. He was born in the prosperous capital of Taiping. The barbarians who walked the horses and ran all over the mountains in the north have always existed in books and legends. When he first heard it, he found it very unbelievable.
"How is it possible! This is Chang'an I still have a group of powerful followers!"
He snorted coldly, "Those followers of yours may have their necks secretly wiped at any time."
"Impossible!" Liang Hua leaned over to the window, this time he took a closer look, and saw his majestic entourage lying on the ground in a haphazard manner. The light was so dark that he didn't notice it until now.
Xiang Huan turned back again, confirmed it again, and said with certainty: "It's still a member of the Zheyan Department. Looking at the feathers, the person who came must be a prince or higher."
?Beiman is thousands of miles away from the capital, and there are high mountains in the middle. Even Wan Yao thinks it is too absurd, "Why are the Turkic people here?"
"If I'm not mistaken, these are probably Barruhe's subordinates." He observed the movement outside the window, took out a rope from his arms, and quickly wrapped a few daggers, while still explaining, "Zheyan The younger brother of the Great Khan, he is a main combat faction. Because he was dissatisfied with Zheyan's surrender to our Great Wei, he tried to prevent the two countries from signing an alliance.
"It was just heard before, but I didn't expect him to appear here. It seems that the rumors are true."
Wan Yao half understood and half confused: "Rumor?"
"Master Hu, the censor of Zuoqian Capital, is about to go to Anbei to accept the surrender. Baruer has a tiger-wolf heart and will not let it go. This inn is probably his secret stake."
Recalling the strange behavior of the proprietress, Wanyao frowned thoughtfully, "No wonder she refused to let us stay overnight tonight, so it was to meet with the Turkic people?"
"If it's just staying in a hotel, it's fine, but some self-righteous waste still wants to send people to watch the night, seal off all the ways of life, and rush to let people kill people to silence them." Speaking of this, Xiang Huan stared fiercely at Shu Liang Hua at the base of the wall, the latter knew he was wrong, and timidly pinched the corner of his clothes.
In the final analysis, if it weren't for this person's unscrupulous schemes to create today's disaster, how could there be such troubles now!
? It is more than enough to succeed than to fail.
Xiang Huan was furious, and wanted to beat him with his fists. Perhaps because of his experience in beatings in recent days, Liang Hua hugged his head and covered his face as if he felt something.
""
"It doesn't seem too good." The situation is serious, Wanyao has no intention of trying to persuade the fight at this time, she is still leaning against the window to observe every move downstairs through the gap.
The group of Turkic people negotiated with the proprietress for a while, then raised their heads vaguely, and the tiger-like eyes shot out like sharp arrows. She shivered, and even felt that the other party was looking at herself.
"They are coming up." Wan Yao looked back anxiously and reminded.
After killing a roomful of servants, the master will naturally not be able to keep alive, so he simply does one thing and keeps doing the other.
Thinking about it this way, it will be a matter of time before the barbarians come to the door.
"What should I do?" she asked.
"What else can I do." Xiang Huan tied up the short knife and wrapped it around his waist, and grabbed her wrist, "Of course I ran away!"
&n? Complexion.
Wan Yao sensitively caught the change in his expression, and quickly asked, "What happened?"
Xiang Huan raised his eyes, his eyes full of solemnity: "The horse is gone."
The moment he finished speaking, there was an indistinct sound of knocking on the door above his head. It must be that the barbarians had broken in. The room was empty, only the windows were wide open, so it was easy to guess that they escaped by jumping out of the windows.
?This group of people is tight-lipped in their work, not only to silence their mouths, but also to cut off all possibilities of letting them live. It is indeed a reasonable means to pull their horses away.
The fallen shack just blocked the sight of the upstairs, and Wanyao vaguely heard the man's rich voice, speaking in Turkic language, which she could not understand, but soon the footsteps in the house moved away chaotically.
"They're looking for us." Xiang Huan frowned, leaning vigilantly by the side of the stable to observe the movement outside.
The target flees, the barbarian will first block the exit of the store, then go downstairs to search around, if not found, the last is to arrange people to chase outside the inn.
In other words, if they find that someone is here, their guard will be relaxed a lot.
Wan Yao hugged her knees and shrank among the haystacks. She saw Xiang Huan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had made some great decision. At this moment, he was unexpectedly calm, without his usual calmness. Impatient and impulsive, calm as a wolf waiting for the right time.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked over like lightning.
His wrist was pulled over by him, and a well-defined tooth card was pressed against his palm with warmth, Wan Yao was at a loss for what to do, before he could speak, his shoulders were suddenly held by him.
At that moment, a trace of inexplicable ominousness welled up in her heart.
"Wanyao, listen to me¡ªthere is a small hole under the wall on the left hand side of the entrance door outside the courtyard, and you can get out with your figure.
"The Turks will find this place soon, you hide behind the stables first, then I will help you resist for a while, and when everyone's attention is on me, you take the opportunity to leave.
"Don't worry, Liang Hua is still there, as long as I pretend to protect the stable, they won't suspect it."
Wan Yao's mind went blank, and she ignored the faint pain in her shoulders. Her hand holding the tooth card was trembling, and she opened her mouth to say "I". She thought she said it, but the actual voice was so inaudible that Xiang Huan never heard it.
Opposite him was his firm and unquestionable gaze, "Take this and walk along the official road No, forget it, the official road is too conspicuous, you take the trail and run to the nearest Gaoshanji.
"There are officers and soldiers patrolling there day and night, you give them the token and explain why they send troops!"
A series of plans were swirling in her ears, and her mind was buzzing for a while. The heavy responsibility is like a mountain falling from the sky, Wanyao's whole body trembles like a leaf, she retreats and fears instinctively, and shakes her head incoherently.
"No no, Xiang Huan, I can't do it, I can't do it"
"From here to Gaoshanji, the shortest half-hour journey is possible, you can do it!"
Despite the urgency of the matter, he patiently explained, "Without a horse, the possibility of the two of us escaping together is very slim. Someone must stay to delay the time."
Obviously, he is the only one left.
People are always like this.
?If you walk with others, you will unconsciously rely on them. Even if there are mountains of swords and fires in front of you, thinking that I am not alone, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept.
But when she suddenly had to go alone, the unfathomable darkness under the long night and the never-ending road could crush her in an instant.
Wan Yao never thought about how he would act separately from Xiang Huan under such circumstances.
"I will definitely be discovered, no" She lowered her eyelids dodgingly, and repeated timidly, "I really can't"
"Wanyao!" Xiang Huan sternly said, "Look at me!"
The pair of eyes on the opposite side were as deep as obsidian, glowing with a piercing light, reflecting her in them clearly and seriously.
Xiang Huan suddenly clasped her hand and pressed it against his chest. The heat from the muscles spread into his palm, as if he could feel the pulsation of blood flow and the steady and powerful heartbeat.
"I dare to give you my life, do you dare to give me your life?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
