After searching in the valley for three days, they finally found the road out of the valley, but climbing up the mountain still took them a lot of effort, and in the meantime, Dan Qing Han and Xuan Yuan Jing's hands and feet were injured by the sharp branches and leaves, the sharp rocks were stained with their blood.

Fortunately, the two of them had the ability to smoothly reach the top.

After exiting the valley, they kept asking about it. Only then did they realize that they were in Qingzhou's west side village. They did not have any money or food on them, and were so hungry that they could not even stand straight.

So they did something they despised even for themselves, and stole a freshly baked biscuit from a woman in a farmhouse in a deserted village to fill their stomachs.

The two of them were like two hungry wolves that were hiding in the back room and wolfing down their food. When they were about to eat, they were suddenly noticed by the people around them.

The moment they saw that they had been discovered, their first reaction was to run away guiltily while tightly hugging the leftover sesame seed cakes in their hands.

Very quickly, the two of them escaped from the woman's pursuit. Only when they felt it was safe did they stop panting. They looked at each other in tacit understanding and simultaneously laughed out loud.

So many years later, Dan Qing Han and Xuan Yuan Jing would always use this incident to hurt each other.

`

Qingzhou City was filled with Duan Shao's subordinates, so Dan Qing Han and Xuan Yuan Jing naturally did not dare to go into the city brazenly, and could only sneak into the city late at night.

Along the way, they were also carefully analyzing who Duan Shao had ordered to assassinate them, and finally came to the conclusion that he had come under the orders of the Prince Chu.

"Speaking of this matter, Xuan Yuan Jing was furious." "Think about it, when Duan Shao was a poor scholar back then, if he did not get the appreciation of the Crown Prince, how could he have soared up to the sky in a single step. who would have thought that Crown Prince would go against him the moment he was sealed. "

Dan Qing Han laughed dryly. Back then, that pure and pure youth was willing to break the engagement for the death of his lover. Even if he did offend the grand Western Great General, she would still respect him somewhat.

But from the looks of it now, it had all become a joke.

At this moment, they had snuck into the residence of the Governor of two rivers, Xia Yan. Xuan Yuan Jing told her that he and Xia Yan had a good relationship, and that they would be safest in hiding in Xia Yan's residence.

As expected, after he entered Xia Yan's residence, after revealing his identity, he did not see Xia Yan. Instead, he saw Xia Yan's direct daughter.

A melody.

Dan Qing Han silently repeated it in her heart, and immediately understood that this Xia Ying Fei was actually the woman that Xuan Yuan Jing liked.

Xia Ying Fei leisurely walked over with a purple floral jacket, her figure was slender and tall, her temperament was extraordinary. Her beauty was a type of beauty that captivated the soul, especially the beauty mark on her forehead. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was devastatingly beautiful.

Dan Qing Han secretly sighed at Xia Ying Fei's beauty, at the same time, she admired Xuan Yuan Jing's extraordinary eyesight, such a beautiful lady, most likely not many could resist her enticement.

"Jing gege!" Xia Ying Fei's voice was soft and tender, and the smile on her face became even more pronounced in her beauty.

"Where's Leader Xia?" Xuan Yuan Jing avoided Xia Ying Fei's smile.

"Father will not see you." There was a rather complicated expression on Xia Ying Fei's face as she continued, "He asked me to tell you that since we had been friends for so many years, quickly leave Qingzhou. Duan Shao is currently searching everywhere to capture you and this friend behind you."

Dan Qing Han saw that Xia Ying Fei was looking at him and she could not help but lower her head, wanting to use the darkness to hide her face. Fortunately, she had been careful when she came to the Xia Manor. As a woman, she had disguised herself as a man and entered the Manor. This way, she could conceal her identity a little.

"Duan Shao?" Xuan Yuan Jing snorted.

"You still don't know, my little sister Xia Jing Yu is getting married to Duan Shao." Xia Ying Fei explained lightly.

"I see." Xuan Yuan Jing understood, and turned to leave, but Xia Ying Fei took a step forward and stopped him, "Big brother Jing, the Crown Prince's situation has completely changed. Don't fight with Prince Chu anymore, I don't want the Xia Clan to be your enemy from now on. "

"I can't believe this is coming out of your mouth." Xuan Yuan Jing looked at her, his eyes filled with a hidden iciness.

Xia Ying Fei's eyes were still indifferent as she calmly met his cold gaze with calm, "The chaos in the Henan Province had obviously implicated the Prince Chu, but the Emperor forgave him despite knowing that he was guilty. It can be seen that the person who was chosen as the emperor's successor in the Emperor's heart was the Prince Chu, and it was only a matter of time before the Crown Prince would be crippled. If we continue to be enemies with the Prince Chu, if he ascends the throne, our Xia Clan will be annihilated in an instant. "

"That's why Xia Yan is so anxious to get rid of this relation with me, to the point where he doesn't even dare to meet me once." Xuan Yuan Jing scoffed, "I am indeed unable to interfere with the Xia Clan's political stand, but I want to tell Xia Yan, before Crown Prince is crippled, there is a possibility of him being able to recover. If one day that Emperor of Zi Wei sits on the Crown Prince, I would also ask the Xia Clan not to regret today's decision."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Dan Qing Han, who had her head lowered as though she was thinking of something, and left in large strides.

Xia Ying Fei did not stop them. She only stood where she was and stared at their gradually disappearing figures, while her eyes revealed ridicule.

`

After leaving the Xia Manor, Xuan Yuan Jing walked alone in the endless night. He did not speak at all, and only walked with a brisk pace without a destination in mind. The empty and lonely street made him feel even more desolate. Dan Qing Han followed behind him at a steady pace, maintaining a distance of a few steps.

Suddenly, Xuan Yuan Jing stopped in his tracks, and turned around to ask: "The world is cold, the close friend of the past, is currently being shunned in fear. Is the world like this? "

"No, it's just that you met the wrong person." Dan Qing Han shook her head.

"There have always been many people who add flowers to the flowers, but there are only a few who offer coal in the middle of the snow. You are a lady from a noble family, are you really willing to wade in this muddy water?" Perhaps, it will implicate your Tantai Clan. "

"Although I agree to help you, I can't agree on behalf of father to stand by your side. However, when I return to the imperial capital, I will bring you to meet father."

"And if your father disagrees?"

"You worry too much." Furthermore, the position of Assistant Minister of Revenue is not low at all. " Xuan Yuan Jing's face revealed a smile, he took a few steps forward and patted her shoulders: "Dan Lin has a daughter, is she already at the age of marriage?"

"You want to marry?" Dan Qing Han asked.

"No, Crown Prince will marry. Although the Eastern Palace already has an imperial concubine, the only one missing is a secondary concubine. "

"You want my sister to be the secondary wife of the Crown Prince?"

"What, you dislike it?"

"No, I am only afraid our Tantai Clan has a higher chance." Dan Qing Han naturally understood that the second wife of the Crown Prince was of a higher grade than the first wife of an ordinary duke.

"Then it's a deal, we will return to the imperial capital to see the Lord Din."
