Chapter 75 Leaving the Village
Su Qing was silent for a moment, the candle flame gradually went out, leaving only a little dim light in the room.

"Naturally, I want to escort the prince to Hangu Pass with Song Zhi. The prince came from the front line, and now he has to return to the front line. The cavalry of Youzhou Kingdom will pass through Hangu Pass soon. If Youzhou Kingdom If it succeeds, the people of Hangu Pass will probably suffer disaster."

After Su Qing finished speaking, the candlelight burned again, leaving only a little bit of candlelight, which was burning brightest at this time.

Liang Jingrui looked at Su Qing through the candlelight, the candlelight flickered on and off, the expression on Su Qing's face remained the same, she even had a little smile on her face, Liang Jingrui didn't understand why she was smiling at this time, but he knew that Su Qing was not will leave alone.

She couldn't leave, Liang Jingrui was convinced that Su Qing was doing it for her own life.

Song Zhi heard Su Qing finished speaking, and said anxiously: "Qing'er, the border is bitterly cold, not to mention it is an extraordinary period, how can you go? Don't worry, I will find you a safe place, you just need to wait for me return."

Su Qing shook her head, "Where is it safe? Sometimes the enemy attacks from inside and outside, and I will become a living target. If you really want me to live, let me follow you. I am a woman who wants to take care of my husband. No People will question it."

Rather than waiting in an unknown place and not knowing which night her head will be beheaded, it is better to follow Song Zhi, at least she can survive.

Of course, if you die, there is nothing you can do.

Song Zhi's face brightened. Su Qing said that because he needed an identity. Once the identity was revealed, it would be difficult to change it.

Without waiting for Song Zhi to agree, Liang Jingrui took the lead and said, "Yes, in order to survive, it's better to follow us, but I need a maid by my side. If you don't dislike it, you will be my King Jing's side to the outside world."

It is safer to be someone close to the prince than to be Song Zhi's wife, but Su Qing flatly refused, "Thank you for your love, but the common people can't bear it."

Although being Liang Jingrui's maid was safer, things would be troublesome in the future. Su Qing didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she refused.

"Song Zhi, you go to the city tomorrow, find the document, and ask the document to bring someone to find our mothers, and say that you have a special status and come to pick us up."

Su Qing turned her eyes and said: "Then let the document announce to the outside world that my children and I have gone to Liyang City. As for how we got there and where you are, everyone can guess. Then the children secretly went north and arrived at Liyang City. , Let the followers declare that the children were picked up by the prince, and they are really pitiful, so they are sent back to Liyang to take care of them."

Song Zhidao: "It takes at least a month to go from here to Liyang."

Su Qing said: "Yes, I believe that the three children are safe along the way. My lord, your hidden guards are very skilled and will definitely be able to protect their safety within a month. Of course, this is the southernmost point, a short distance from Hangu Pass. Recently, I believe that within a month, we will be able to handle the matter of the border, so that when the three children arrive in Liyang, the prince will make meritorious service, and the children will naturally be safe and sound."

Liang Jingrui's eyes were a little burning, "The matter at the border is complicated, and I haven't figured it out until now. How do you solve it? Don't exaggerate."

Su Qing hooked the corners of her lips, "If the prince believes in me, he will follow what I said tomorrow. We must give an explanation to the villagers when we leave, otherwise I will not be safe. The emperor must be paying attention to the border affairs. The prince can appear in the Here, it means that there is a betrayal, the prince is under the enemy's back, and has to leave temporarily, Song Zhibing and I will split into two groups, the prince will reply to Hangu Pass in the open, and Song Zhi and I will speed up the horse secretly, we must give the prince a surprise."

Su Qing has decided that since she has chosen this path, she can only go on for her own life.

Otherwise, if Song Zhi walked forward, they would be caught on the back foot, and that would be too passive.

Liang Jingrui sneered at Su Qing's words, "The border gate is complicated, and this king was also trapped in it. You dare to speak, but I just hope that the surprise will not turn into a shock."

Su Qing said, "My lord, in order to survive, we must work hard."

Liang Jingrui was speechless for a moment, Song Zhi hurriedly said: "My lord, Qing'er always speaks like this, she is not talking about you."

"All right."

Liang Jingrui waved his hands impatiently, "Just do what she said, it's dawn, you go to the city."

Song Zhi didn't dare to disobey Liang Jingrui's order, so he said, "Yes, I will resign."

Song Zhi took the initiative to hold Su Qing's hand, "Let's go out and talk."

Liang Jingrui looked at the backs of the two, especially Song Zhi's action of holding Su Qing's hand tightly, he was inexplicably agitated.

What exactly does this woman do?

Walking out of the room, Song Zhi grabbed Su Qing's shoulder and said, "I know you don't like intrigue. This matter is because I can't help you. I will try my best to protect the children. You trust me."

Su Qing looked at the quiet villages all around, and sighed, "It's been half a year since I fled famine, and I've only been here for a few months, and my life has undergone tremendous changes. If you say I don't blame you, that's impossible, but you also have Don't talk about your helplessness, no matter how much you say, it will not make up for the decision made this night, just pray that the three children arrive in Liyang safely, so that I can feel at ease, otherwise I will never forgive you."

Having been with the three children for so long, Su Qing has long regarded them as his own.

Now that the children are also facing the threat of death, she somewhat complains.

Let go of Song Zhi's hand forcefully, listening to the sound of birds singing in the distance, Su Qing said: "You go, do the whole set of acting, I always have to prepare."

With that said, he quietly returned to his room.

Song Zhi stood there for a long time, Su Qing could see his remorse, but just like what she said, no matter if he regretted it or blamed himself, it could not change the fact that his identities were different, nor could he change his decision. His self-blame was just to make himself feel better.

It was dawn, and the villagers had already woken up to start their busy day.

As usual, Su Qing opened the door and took the three children to fetch water.

When Aunt He saw Su Qing, she waved her hand and said, "Miss Su, why doesn't your Song Zhi fetch water?"

Su Qing smiled, "He went into the city and said he had something to buy, but he didn't tell me and left before dawn."

Aunt He smiled and said: "I must have bought something for you. This winter, only your Song Zhi is always helping others outside to earn some pocket money. Hey, it's good to have a man to rely on."

Su Qing just smiled and said nothing.

Passing by everyone all the way, they all answered what should be answered, and the villagers did not have any doubts.

In the afternoon, while Su Qing was still busy in the field, she suddenly heard the voice of the village chief, "Su Qing, Su Qing, someone from the county government has arrived."
