Tang Xiu also nodded, "That's true. Then, according to Teacher Xie's suggestion, where should we go?"
"You have to do the exact opposite of that. There are so many of us, it's easy to leave footprints on the road, and I'm afraid we'll meet the pursuers. "
Xie Yue was a little hesitant.
Master Zhong muttered, "Why don't we go to Princess Consort's farmstead? On the way from the capital to Huichuan County, there are several farmsteads that belong to Princess Consort. "
Everyone looked at Master Zhong.
Xie Yue was a little surprised, "Aren't Princess Consort's farmsteads mainly in the south?"
"Yes, but Princess Consort said that we have to be prepared in order to be safe. It's not wrong to buy more farmsteads in our spare time."
The Jinghu Wei did not know much about Princess Consort, but they admired her. As for Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others, they had followed Qin Yining for many years and were already convinced by her ability. She was not as surprised as these people.
"Since that's the case, let's go to Princess Consort's farmstead."
Tang Xiu said, "I'll take a group of people and rush to Liu Village first. We'll leave some footprints along the way to attract attention. You can take this opportunity to escort Princess Consort to recuperate. "
Xie Yue lowered her head and thought for a moment. In the end, she nodded and said, "That's good. If we go north, we'll go to the border. Why don't you go directly to Wang Ye and leave some footprints along the way. It'll be even better if you can blatantly pretend to be Princess Consort. If you meet pursuers, you can split up and reunite in front of Wang Ye's tent at the border."
"That's good, but Princess Consort's place …"
"Princess Consort shouldn't have too many people around her." Xie Yue looked at the Tianji Sect disciples and smiled, "With the disciples of the Tianji Sect, Princess Consort should be safe. Why don't we let all the Jinghu Wei return to Wang Ye's side? Wang Ye needs people. "
The Tianji Sect disciples led by Fang Hailing all cupped their hands.
Jing Zhe said, "Don't worry, we'll follow Princess Consort at all times. If there are too many people, it will attract attention. "
Liao Zhibing also said, "That's right. Our brothers in the Qingtian Alliance are all over the martial world. As long as the Alliance Master says the word, isn't it easy to find people to use?"
Tang Xiu heard Liao Zhibing say the same thing and thought carefully about Xie Yue's analysis. She felt that everything was reasonable. If they stayed, they would become a bigger target. It was better to attract the attention of the pursuers for Wang Fei and meet up with Wang Ye at the same time. This way, they could tell Wang Ye about Wang Fei's situation and also let Wang Ye have more people on their side.
Tang Xiu nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, he could not help but look at Ji Yun, who was squatting at the entrance of the tree hole and taking care of Qin Yining.
Ji Yun smiled at Tang Xiu. "Be careful on the road."
Tang Xiu's face instantly lit up with a happy smile. She was like a child who had just received a piece of candy. She was so happy that she almost spun in a circle.
"Alright, you too. Take care."
Ji Yun nodded with a smile.
Xie Yue couldn't help but smile when she saw them act like this.
At a time when they were being pursued and Wang Fei was seriously injured, this warmth was enough to light a spark of hope in people's hearts.
After the discussion, Tang Xiu led all the Jinghu Wei to bow to Xie Yue and the others. Then she turned and went into the forest to find weapons and horses. She took the carriage that Qin Yining had been on and headed north in the direction of Liu Jia Village. She purposefully left horse hoofprints and carriage tracks in the snow.
The rest of the people went to find long branches and used dried branches, vines, and cloaks to make simple beds. They put Qin Yining and Tian Jizi on them and took turns to carry them in the opposite direction of the forest to the fields that Master Zhong had spoken of.
In Jing, Li Qitian heard that the assassination attempt had failed and was furious. He raised his hand and threw the inkstone hard at the shoulder of the Jingji Guard Lieutenant Wang Maozhi.
"Rice buckets! All of you are rice buckets! Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment! You can't beat the Tatars, but you can't even kill a woman! What is the use of zhen raising you rice buckets! "
Wang Maozhi knelt on one knee and bowed his head, not saying a word.
Xiong Jinshui and the other palace attendants had already obediently bowed their heads and retreated to the most inconspicuous corner.
Li Qitian paced back and forth angrily, "What a good opportunity! There are so many of you, but you can't even take two infants back. You can't even kill a weak woman who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. What are you all doing! "
"Your Majesty, please quell your anger." Wang Maozhi bowed.
"Quell your anger, quell your anger. All day long, you only know how to quell zhen's anger, but you all never let zhen be at ease! Tell me, what should we do next! "
Wang Maozhi raised his hands and quickly looked at Li Qitian. He then said in a low voice, "This subject will continue to track down the fugitive."
Li Qitian took a deep breath and said, "I will give you seven days. If you can't bring the corpse of the Prince Zhongshun's consort and the two little brats to zhen, then you all can just wait. "
"Yes!" Wang Maozhi hurriedly kowtowed and carefully retreated.
When he arrived outside Yangxin Palace Hall, he let out a long breath.

Pang Xiao dressed properly and turned around to pick up the horsewhip on the table.
Ji Zeyu pulled Pang Xiao back. His handsome face, which could be said to be peerlessly beautiful, was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. "Meng Zhi Xi, you can't go back. If you go back, you will die without a doubt! "
"I know. But so what? " Pang Xiao's face was full of stubble that he didn't care about. His hair was also casually tied up with a hair band. His entire person exuded a sense of decadence, but it made him look even more handsome and steady.
"She suffered like this because of me. I couldn't give her a stable life. I made her work hard while she was pregnant. Not only that, I also caused her to be abused like that … "
"She was such a proud person. When has she ever suffered such humiliation? Thinking about it, every time she suffered, it was because of me.
”
Pang Xiao grabbed his hair in frustration.
Ji Zeyu saw Pang Xiao like this and also frowned deeply. "Zhixi, you don't have to be like this. This isn't your fault. You can only blame fate. Since she was willing to follow you, she knew what kind of hardships she would have to endure as your consort. She was willing. "
"But I wasn't willing! I pursued her selfishly from the beginning. I unilaterally took her under my wing so that I could give her a good life. I wanted her to live a happy and peaceful life, but what kind of life did I give her? "Pang Xiao shook his head." I really can't take it anymore. Ah Lan, do you know what this feels like? Watching her suffer while I am thousands of miles away, unable to do anything but watch. This feeling is really too … too … "
"I know." Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. "Am I not the same? I can't help."
Pang Xiao was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't think carefully about Ji Zeyu's words. "The only thing I can do now is to go back obediently and wait for the Emperor to punish me."
"What's the use of that? If you go to die, will the Emperor let the Qin Clan and your child go? "
"But I can't think of any other way!"
Pang Xiao suddenly turned around. His phoenix eyes were bloodshot and his expression was unprecedentedly crazy.
Ji Zeyu was shocked. He stepped forward and grabbed Pang Xiao's shoulder. He whispered: "Rebel."
Pang Xiao was stunned.
"Rebel. Lead the troops and fight back." Ji Zeyu continued: "You don't have to worry. I will help you."
Pang Xiao never thought that Ji Zeyu would say this.
For a moment, he was really tempted.
If he could really lead the troops and fight back, would Li Qitian still refuse to submit? How dare he treat his Sister Yi like that?
However, such an irrational thought only lasted for a moment. Pang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I lead the troops and rebel against Li Qitian for my own selfish reasons, wouldn't I become the same kind of person as Li Qitian? Right now the war with the Tatars is in a state of anxiety. In a few more days, I think the Tatars will reach the desert of the dead zone. If I lead the troops in rebellion at this critical moment, won't I give the Tatars a chance to catch their breath?
"What's more, these people are following me to fight against the Tatars, to drive out the people who invaded them and killed their families. But if I ask them to rebel against the imperial court and work for me alone, would they really be willing?
"I don't want so many people to work for my decision, and I don't want anyone to be kept in the dark. The Emperor's actions are too extreme, but that's between me and him. There's really no need to cause so many consequences. Da Zhou has just been peaceful for a long time. "
Ji Zeyu looked at Pang Xiao's serious expression and shook his head: "You're still the same. You're so stubborn. "
"It's not that I'm stubborn." Pang Xiao sighed: "There are some rules that I must abide by. There are some bottom lines that I must not abandon. "
"Then do you really plan to go back and die? Just for your princess and your child? "
"In this world, is there anyone else who can make me so willing to die?"
Ji Zeyu's lips moved. After a while, he sighed silently: "I don't agree."
"Ah Lan." Pang Xiao patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder: "Good brother, I know you're doing this for my own good. But there are some things that you have to do even if you know the consequences. This is the principle and bottom line of life. I'm a man, a husband, and the father of a child. I can't just stand by and watch them die. "
Ji Zeyu pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He just looked at him silently.
Pang Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Cheer up. I'll leave Tatan to you. I believe in your ability. It won't be a problem for you to deal with Si Qin and Lu Heng. "
"Have you really decided to go? If you go, we might … "
Pang Xiao heard this and sighed: "Ah Lan, I know. I'm already satisfied to have a brother like you in this life. Our kowtowing to the ground wasn't in vain. You've helped me a lot over the years. You're my best friend and my blood is thicker than water. This will never change. Even if I lose my life in the capital this time, the brotherhood between us will not change. "
Ji Zeyu pursed his lips even tighter. His peach blossom eyes became misty. This man who looked cold and decisive on the outside was so sad at this moment.
