Li Ruoxu, who was supposed to bury the body, stayed in the local area, his eyes full of disbelief, and he looked at the horse without blinking. The guards of the Imperial City Division noticed something strange, and Wang Chongyi sternly said: "Boy, what are you looking at!" Li Ruoxu seemed to be unaware of anything, staring at her blankly, and said in a lost voice: "Huan,..., Mr., Your Highness, Princess."

With the dreamy voice, everyone was shocked. A cold light suddenly appeared in Zhou He's eyes. Wang Chongyi even pressed his hand on the sabre and looked at Li Ruoxu viciously.

Zhao Huan was calm instead. She looked at Li Ruoxu and asked, "Sir, do you recognize me?" The meaning was sad and vicissitudes. She had been banned in the cold palace for the past three years. Zhao Huan almost thought that everyone had forgotten and abandoned her.

"The lower official is Li Ruoxu," Li Ruoxu said hurriedly, "In the first month of the fifth year of Xuanhe, the lower official met His Highness."

Eight years ago, the Yuan Dynasty, where flowers were clustered and lanterns were like daytime, was one of Li Ruoxu's most beautiful memories, and he still remembered them freshly. His eyes were full of surprise and looked at Zhao Huan with hope. Zhou He, Wang Chongyi and others looked at each other with a look of surprise, and looked at Zhao Huan. Li Ruoxu was the top scholar in the new subject and was talked about for a while in Bianliang City. The Imperial City Secretary was the emperor's eyes and ears, so he naturally heard about this. As for the Yuan Dynasty Secretary eight years ago, the Imperial City Secretary and others only thought that he had visited the holy face under the Xuande Gate Tower. At that time, Zhao Huan was favored and accompanied his father to watch the lanterns on the city tower. It was not surprising that Li Ruoxu looked at him.

"It turned out to be Li Hanlin," Zhao Huan stared at Li Ruoxu, vaguely remembering the beginning, "I heard that you followed Prince Qin to Hebei to announce the imperial edict, but there was no news again." Her face showed concern, "It's safe and sound now." Seeing Li Ruoxu, Zhao Huan couldn't help but think of another person again, and there was no news for ten years, and I don't know where he is now. Thinking of this, a trace of worry flowed out of his eyes.

She admitted that she was an old acquaintance with Li Ruoxu. Although the others didn't know the whole story, they felt relieved. Some people thought: "How can Your Highness the Princess meet him? Could it be a talented man and a beautiful woman?" Thinking in my heart, my eyes looking at Li Ruoxu were also a little weird.

Zhou Hejiu was working in the Imperial City Department, with such a strong look. Seeing that Li Ruoxu was trembling slightly, he sighed in his heart. It seemed that Li Hanlin and Princess Huan were not as simple as knowing each other. He began to speak vaguely, which was taking into account the reputation of His Highness. The princesses were tired of being in the Great Nei. When they disguised themselves as Bianliang City, they were all guards of the Imperial City Department followed. Zhou He looked at Li Ruoxu and felt that he was a talented person and could win the top scorer. It was a good thing to hide the corpse of passers-by during the escape. He nodded secretly in his heart.

Zhao Huan was in the deep palace. He was first favored by his father, and later placed under house arrest by his brother in the cold palace. His heart was as pure as paper. When Li Ruoxu mentioned the past, she admitted it. While Li Ruoxu was moved, he looked at Zhao Huan, feeling cold hands and feet, but his body was filled with blood. He stepped forward and asked, "Where is your highness going? The official fought to death and was escorted."

"Where is going?" Zhao Huan's eyes showed a confused look. She originally wanted to go to Xijing to seek refuge with Zhao Qi, the third brother who was born by a mother, but the army was densely populated between Luoyang and Bianliang, and the road was blocked, so she had to go south. She didn't know where she went. Before she answered, Zhou He rushed in and said first: "Zhou He, the imperial city secretary, is escorting the Sixteenth Prince, and I don't know where Lord Li is going?" Although the imperial city secretary is very powerful, because of the emperor's mind, the chief and deputy envoys of the Imperial City Secretary were led by civil officials, and the ranks of military officials who were really doing business were very low. Li Ruoxue became the top scholar and surpassed Zhou He as soon as he was awarded the title of official position. If it were in the peaceful years, the speed of promotion would be far greater than that of ordinary officials. Therefore, although Zhou He had been in the Imperial City Secretary for more than ten years, he still called himself a low official in front of Li Ruoxue.

Li Ruoxu hesitated for a moment and told him with a grudge: "I want to go southeast."

Zhou He and Wang Chongyi looked at each other, and Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Then Lord Li can be on the same road as us." She grew up in the deep palace, and there were not many people who knew each other. Although she did not recognize Li Ruoxu at first, she also regarded him as an old friend who had not seen for a long time.

Li Ruoxu was overjoyed and immediately agreed. After seeing each other in the imperial city, Zhou He carefully said, "We have been deeply grateful to the former emperor. Now in this world, the identity and whereabouts of the Sixteenth Prince, I hope Lord Li will cover it up and not tell others." He deliberately brought Li Ruoxu to the side before telling him. Li Ruoxu was stunned, and then remembered the rumors that the prince and the third prince were competing for the throne when the former emperor was there. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder of General Zhou, I know." Li Ruoxu looked at Zhao Huan in the distance and said intimately that the Tian family had no affection. Princess Huan and King Jing were born to the same mother. In the three years since the official family succeeded to the throne, they might have suffered a lot, and a feeling of pity suddenly arises in their hearts.

The people in the Imperial City Department knew Li Ruoxu's identity, so they naturally couldn't instruct him to do things. Instead, they helped him bury the corpses. Everyone rested in the woods for a while, and Zhou He and others took out the dried meat noodles and dough cakes and water. Although Zhao Huan had golden branches and jade leaves, his food was the same as those in the Imperial City Department. Li Ruoxu sat not far away, looking at her from time to time, and his humble and timid look fell into the eyes of the Imperial City Department. It was a bit funny, but everyone knew that he was thin and had not pointed it out. Someone thought to himself: "When the top scholar rode a horse and paraded around, everyone in Bianliang said that the Hanlin Master was the Wenqu Star in the world. Now it seems that he is also an ordinary person."

During the rest, Zhou He and Wang Chongyi and others discussed that they had to speed up their journey to avoid falling behind the Liao army. The Liao army claimed to have 100,000 elite cavalry and 200,000 infantry signed by the army. The vanguard had arrived in Dengzhou and the rear team was still in Yingchang Prefecture. Now they were between the Xiangyang camp of the Song army and the main force of the Liao army. Although they would encounter the Liao army's reconnaissance cavalry from time to time, there would always be a gap. If they land behind the Liao army, it would be troublesome. The seven people in this group originally had a mount, and now they would give Li Ruoxu a horse to travel with, and the other two thin cavalrymen rode on the same horse. Anyway, because Zhao Huan was weak, he would not have dragged down his horse's power when he rushed.

During the day, he hid in the night and met a large group of soldiers and horses. Whether it was the Liao army or the Song army, they all took a detour. Zhou He saw that Li Ruoxu was skillful in cavalry. Although he was a civil servant, his behavior was not dragged on, and he secretly praised him. However, Li Ruoxu was also secretly surprised. The Imperial City Office was obviously very familiar with the technique of hiding and hiding the figure. Zhou He and others could estimate the time when the cavalry in front of them passed by just looking at the horse manure. They could tell the distance of the enemy when they lay down and listened to the sound. The camp where Wang Chongyi chose was a safe and secure place.

"If my army and horses of the Song Dynasty were so elite, how could the situation be like this?" Li Ruoxu said secretly.

Many of the soldiers in Bianliang City and even in the imperial city were doing chores such as gate guarding, sweeping, ceremonial guards, and even cleaning toilets. However, the imperial front squad Zhi and the Imperial City Division had a system of Sandu Heads, and among the tens of thousands of elite troops, there were only hundreds of warriors. Each one was taken to the Palace Front squad, which was enough to be a hundred generals. The headquarters of the Imperial City Division mainly monitored the capital, and there were not only Jinyan Mansions to control the capital. The people who selected Shen Yun to escort Zhao Huan, except for Zhou He who was the commander of the inner courtyard, the other military generals were Sandu Heads of Jinyan Mansions.

The road was full of dust and entered the territory of Tangzhou. Because Tangzhou was still in the hands of the Song army, the more people fleeing the southwards. The Liao army's vanguards also appeared, but they were not a large group of people. Every time these Khitan cavalry appeared, the people fleeing desperately like frightened birds, for fear that they would be intercepted by the northern captives a little later. On those north-south roads, the people fleeing were hungry and exhausted, and they were still rushing south day and night. When they arrived in the Xiangyang area where the Song army was stationed, it was much more peaceful.

Although Zhao Huan and others disguised themselves, eight people and seven horses were all good horses in Hexi. Zhou He and others were tall and burly, carrying crossbow weapons. Li Ruoxu was not an ordinary person at all. While playing the tip to rest in the middle, the people near him were timid. Not only did they sit far away, they didn't even dare to speak loudly. Zhao Huan heard a baby crying loudly beside him and walked over with the sound. He saw a woman holding the baby. The baby held her breast milk and sucking hard. Her little face turned red, but she couldn't suck anything. It turned out that her mother was so hungry that she had no milk. Without hesitation, she asked Wang Chongyi to ask a few pieces of bread and hand it to the woman, and said softly: "Sister, melt the cake and water, feed the baby some first."

The woman was actually not much different from Zhao Huan's age. When Zhao Huan's tone was gentle, it was the local accent of Bianliang. Tears couldn't help but fall down. She took the pancake and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, sister." The four or five people from the family also came to thank her. Zhao Huan's face was depressed, sighed, lowered her head without saying anything, and returned to Zhou He and others, but felt uncomfortable as if she was cut by a knife.

On this side, Li Ruoxu and Zhou He are discussing the next direction. To be fair, Li Ruoxu prefers Ezhou, but he cannot speak out in his feelings when Zhao Huan takes into account this period of his colleagues. Compared with Zhao Ke, Zhao Huan thinks that the third brother Zhao Qi is the real brother, but he has to flee south due to road barriers. Zhou He and Wang Chongyi and other generals of the Imperial City Division were not only favored by the royal family, but also Shen Yun's confidant. Although these people are experienced and do not have much of their own opinions. According to the instructions of Shen Yun, the official of the Imperial City Division, their duty is to protect Zhao Huan, and the whereabouts are determined according to her wishes.

"The army of northern barbarians is approaching, and I am afraid that Xiangyang is not a good place." Li Ruoxue said to Zhou He, "In my opinion, it is better to bypass Xiangyang and go to Ezhou." Seeing that Zhao Huan was also listening, he emphasized, "Ezhou is in the south of Xiangyang, and it has a dangerous river and is connected by land and water. Yue Fei was known as a general in times of power. The northern barbarians invaded the south, and the army was invincible. It was still too late to avoid it. Only the Zhenguo Army went north from Guangnan, and the speed of marching was rare in the world. Chen Shaoyang had been in Guangnan for many years, and he had the help of the gentry of the Lishe Society, and had sufficient support. From these three perspectives, even if the Liao army conquered Xiangyang, it had become a dull army after thousands of miles, and Ezhou still had the potential to be unsuccessful. If we go to Ezhou, we can settle for a while and then move with the camera."

Zhou He hesitated for a moment and asked Zhao Huan: "Young Master Li advocates going to Ezhou for a while to avoid it. What does the young master mean?"
