Dreaming of Peach Blossoms

Chapter 44 Lakeside

44

When Lin Peiyan and his party arrived in Luoye Town, they found an ordinary inn to stay, although they heard from Gao Ze that they had a relatively hidden stronghold here.But this time they came here in disguise as tea merchants, so naturally it would be better to live in an ordinary inn.

Because of Gao Ze's request, Lin Peiyan had to dress up as a woman and covered her face with a veil every day, so when she came to the inn, Lin Peiyan's food was delivered to the guest room by someone, which was more convenient, and there was no need for everyone Show your face.

Lin Peiyan was a little puzzled that Cheng Moqi would send Gao Ze to come to southern border with him. According to him, the chance of success in stealing the battle map was almost zero. The emperor wanted him to die in southern border.

As the emperor's confidant, why did Gao Ze accompany him in the adventure?

Could it be that Gao Ze has some way to ensure that he won't succeed in getting the battle map from the Holy Son?

Lin Peiyan smashed the porridge in front of him. The food here is not delicious, at least it doesn't suit his appetite, but it can only fill his stomach.

Lin Peiyan hurriedly settled the food in front of her, then put on her veil again and went downstairs.

Gao Ze said that he was going to the market here today to hawk the tea leaves and get some news, and he specifically asked him to go with him.

Although Luoye Town is a frontier town, it is quite prosperous because of its geographical advantages to promote business exchanges.The streets of the market are lively and bustling, not at all inferior to Chang'an's appearance.

I saw that Gao Ze bought a small stall with a little money from the locals, and his subordinates have already skillfully peddled it.Lin Peiyan sat behind the booth with Gao Ze, looking around carefully.

The business of the tea stalls is not good, but it is not bad.From time to time, someone will come to have a look, or buy with money or exchange with objects.The entourage tried to get some useful news while doing business without trace.

It was like this for several days. Although Lin Peiyan didn't feel tired, he was bored after all.

This is not Chang'an, it is always in the southern border, and there is no escape from danger after all.

Lin Peiyan looked at the special costumes worn by the people here, and also saw that the group of them were still in the original long gowns and common clothes, it was a bit eye-catching and out of place.

But they came here this time to sell tea, so it is more normal for foreigners to dress up.

Lin Peiyan originally thought that there would be no gains for a few days, and that this operation might only fail, but he didn't expect that by chance, they would actually find out useful news.

It is said that the holy son's name is Luwu, who was adopted by the old priest and raised as a holy envoy of the clan since he was a child.Moreover, Cheng Mozhao had already told him that it was this person who poisoned Lin Yuqian's life in the Peach Blossom Crisp that day.

And the day they came coincidentally, the sacrificial ceremony was about to be held, and that day, people of high status and status would offer sacrifices at the altar not far from Sunset Town.At that time, their headquarters would be less defensive, and if Qiao Zhuang could sneak in successfully, the chances of finding the battle map would be greater.

If you choose high, you can choose to close the stall, saying that you want to go back to the inn to pack your things.The group of them hurriedly retreated from the inn, and then quietly walked to the hidden stronghold in the crowded market.

Lin Peiyan saw that this house was inconspicuous in this town, and the furnishings inside also followed the customs here.

It was already dark, but Gao Ze and the others just put down their luggage in a hurry and began to change into inconspicuous black clothes, as if they were going to do something.

Lin Peiyan was just packing things in his room, but Gao Ze kicked the door open.And the man just dropped off a set of black clothes and veil and left, as if he wanted him to go with him.

Lin Peiyan lowered her eyebrows, changed her clothes, and covered the lower half of her face tightly.

They left Lin Peiyan and Gao Ze this time, and only brought two guards with them.Although the sky was already dark and there were no stars or moonlight, it would not be good if there were too many people inquiring about the altar and the Holy Son's house.

It's just that Gao Ze is willing to take Lin Peiyan, who has no hands, to go, which is a bit unexpected.

Lin Peiyan felt that Gao Ze was just afraid that he would escape quietly.

Lin Peiyan just tried his best to follow behind them, trying to restrain himself from making any unnecessary noises.

It's better to talk about the altar, after all, no one will come here at night.

Especially in such a dark night, the gloomyness here seems extremely terrifying.

The place where the envoy lives is more like a stockade than a house.However, it is surrounded by not-so-short walls, and there are many strangely dressed people patrolling near the entrance with weapons.

They hid in the woods far away, hiding themselves in the haystacks.

Gao Ze clicked his tongue coldly, and turned to look at Lin Peiyan with a smile that was not a smile, "Look at the tight guards, even if the priest came to steal the battle plan on the day of the sacrifice, he couldn't take Prince Yan with him."

Lin Peiyan naturally sensed the contempt in his eyes, he turned his face slightly, but he was still a little displeased in his heart, and deliberately choked, "I won't drag people down."

Gao Ze laughed when he heard the words, "So Mr. Yan really wants to go to that village?"

Lin Peiyan just didn't answer.

Seeing his appearance, Gao Ze snorted softly: "Your Majesty Yan, it's better to sit back and enjoy what you get, just leave us some way of life."

After he finished speaking, he raised his chin lightly at those subordinates, as if he was about to retreat.

Lin Peiyan just couldn't understand why this person had been ridiculing him inexplicably since the first meeting, and he didn't know whether this person was born with an inexplicable sense of superiority or deliberately hostile to him.But he and Gao Ze had no grievances or enmity, he glared at Gao Ze unceremoniously and prepared to go back.

But Gao Ze seemed to be annoyed by his eyes, he stopped the movement of his subordinates with a slight raise of his hand, turned to pull Lin Peiyan's arm, and quietly led someone to touch the forest directly before he could react. After crossing the wall, the last two stayed in a hidden corner.

Lin Peiyan managed to gain a firm foothold, and before he had time to be terrified, he was so shocked by Gao Ze's series of actions that he was speechless.

Although the position of the two of them is hidden at this moment, it is still very dangerous, and the bricks and tiles under their feet seem to be very easy to make noise.

"Are you crazy?!"

Lin Peiyan deliberately lowered her voice.

"Is Yan Shizi afraid now? Didn't you say that you won't hold people back?"

Gao Ze didn't seem to care about the current situation of the two of them, and the sarcasm in his voice was still there.

"It's because I overestimated my own strength, okay?" Lin Peiyan was speechless to this man, but he didn't expect Gao Ze to be such an impulsive and reckless person, so he had to give in first: "This place is very dangerous. Killed a lot of people."

Gao Ze's lips curled up into a smile, as if he was satisfied with Lin Peiyan's answer, he stretched out his hand to grab his arm and planned to return the same way.

Only then did Lin Peiyan heave a sigh of relief, and accidentally stepped on a brick that was already broken, making a sound.Lin Peiyan couldn't help widening her eyes, screaming inwardly.

Gao Ze frowned deeply, and then realized that he was too impulsive, reached out and took Lin Peiyan with him, and hurried back.The two had just turned around with the two guards, and the bright torches behind them had already illuminated the forest.

Followed by back arrows.

The subtle sound of the arrow piercing the night sky and the sound of piercing the body.

Lin Peiyan and Gao Ze dodged and hid behind the tree branches to escape.

A guard's body had been pierced by a sharp arrow, and he was completely out of breath.

Another guard was pierced in the shoulder by an arrow, but was still alive.

With Gao Ze's martial arts, there is no pressure to take the wounded, but he can't let his subordinates die in the wilderness, and it would be a bit...

Seeing that the torches were getting closer and they were about to be exposed, Lin Peiyan said coldly: "Commander Gao will take your subordinates back to heal their wounds, and I will lure the pursuers away."

Gao Ze frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"There's no time for you to hesitate. Since Cheng Mo Qida didn't intend to let me go back alive from the very beginning, then I went along with him. If it wasn't because of your impulsiveness, he wouldn't have lost his life. You really should send them away." Take it back well."

Lin Peiyan laughed at himself, but didn't give Gao Ze any chance, deliberately pulled out a branch to make a sound and ran away in the opposite direction to attract a group of pursuers.

Gao Ze secretly gritted his teeth and carried his brother on his back, silently remembering this time's kindness in his heart.

Lin Peiyan stumbled and ran in this treacherous forest, he reached out his hand to press the shoulder that was scratched by the arrow, and his steps became heavier and heavier.He was leaning against a thick tree vainly, the place where he could see was pitch black, only the sound of water could be faintly heard.

Could it be a lake ahead?

Lin Peiyan laughed at himself, he was afraid that he would really be buried here.

Suddenly there were some strange noises from the side behind him, and those chaotic footsteps chasing Lin Peiyan seemed to pause for a while.

Just this short time gave Lin Peiyan some time to breathe.Just when his body was about to collapse, he was helped up by a pair of strong arms.

Lin Peiyan only had time to see the strange attire of this man due to blood loss.The man didn't speak either, but quickly wrapped up Lin Peiyan's shoulder injury with a piece of cloth.

How can people from southern Xinjiang save themselves?

The fire behind him flickered slightly, and the footsteps began to sound again.Lin Peiyan saw this man's face clearly through the faint firelight in the distance, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.Why is Cheng Mozhao here?

Lin Peiyan opened her lips slightly as if she wanted to speak, but she held back.

Cheng Mozhao just used the dim light to cover up the mottled bloodstains with litter.

The sound of messy footsteps and shaking light and shadow seemed to be getting closer.

Lin Peiyan grasped Cheng Mozhao's wrist in desperation, as if he wanted Cheng Mozhao to leave.

But Cheng Mozhao held his hand instead and pulled him into his arms and moved forward.

The sound of the two entering the water was extremely soft, and the waves on the water surface only shook for a while before returning to calm.

The chasing soldiers also came here, and these people were muttering incomprehensible words, and suddenly there was a lot of voices.

Lin Peiyan originally covered his mouth tightly with his hands, but he was injured and couldn't exert his strength.As soon as he let go of his hand, he choked on the water, and he was about to make a commotion.

Cheng Mozhao quickly hugged him in his arms, put his hand on his neck, and blocked Lin Peiyan's lips with his own.

Lin Peiyan only had time to struggle weakly, but finally gave up resistance because of the desire to survive.The two of them hugged each other tightly in the pool of water like this.

It wasn't until the voices, lights and shadows by the lake gradually disappeared that the two dared to surface.

The author has something to say: After many years, the prince finally kissed again (.)
