Chapter 56

The matter of Zhao Ying and Xue Li leaving Luoyang together was far more troublesome than he thought.

Xiahou seemed to be eyeing the Junshan Palace. The more he ordered people to stop him from leaving, the more uneasy he felt.

When he finally left Luoyang, Zhao Ying only brought a few soldiers with him to avoid attracting attention. He asked his father's old troops to help him deal with the situation, and then left Luoyang smoothly.

Xue Li put on men's clothes to accompany him, but his beautiful face didn't look like a man at all. Fortunately, after putting on his mink fur cloak, half of her face was hidden in it, so it wouldn't attract anyone's attention unless she looked specifically.

The snow was melting on the day they left Luoyang, the road was slippery and difficult to walk on, and they didn't walk very fast. Xue Li didn't learn to ride a horse until she came to Luoyang, and she could barely keep herself from falling off the horse. If the horse ran faster, she would be so frightened that she would freeze and dare not move. She was both Liang Yan's fiancée and Zhao Ying's father's sweetheart, so he couldn't ride with her. Not long after leaving Luoyang, he got rid of Xiahou's eyes and ears, so he ordered people to look for Chang Shi in the city. They bought a carriage so that Xue Li could live more comfortably and not delay their journey.

Xue Li used to ride horses only with Wei Yun and others, and let people lead them slowly. Later, he was with Liang Yan, and they rode together. He held the reins and held her in his arms, making her feel more at ease. Now that I have been riding for most of the day on the road, I realize how difficult it is.

Xue Li's legs were trembling slightly when she dismounted. Finally, she was carried into the carriage by Zhao Ying, and she could hardly even cross her legs. Every time she suffered, she would blame Wei Jie, and she would secretly scold him to comfort herself.

Zhao Ying and Xue Li were the same age. Because of Zhao Tong's thoughts about Xue Li, he felt a little uncomfortable whenever he was facing Xue Li. Xue Li could see what he was thinking. In order to let Zhao Ying protect her, she would also say a few kind words for her when she came to Zhao Tong in the future. She would talk to Zhao Ying from time to time, and gradually the two of them got closer.

If Zhao Ying got tired from riding, he would jump off the horse and get into the carriage to talk to her.

Zhao Ying was really curious about this woman who captured his father's heart. His father was not a womanizer. After his mother died of illness, his father guarded the fiefdom and never remarried. The concubines in the backyard were rarely favored. In the past few years, he had given them gold and silver to return their good status. After returning home to remarry, Xue Li happened to appear. Not long ago, my father came back with a letter asking him if Xue Li had been found.

"You have become enemies with Wei Lanzhang now. If he is true to what you said, he will not let you go. In this case, have you thought about how to tell Le'an?"

Xue Li rolled up the bamboo curtain and looked at the scenery through the small window. He didn't take it seriously and said: "I tell him how I tell you, it doesn't make any difference. This matter is not my fault. If he blames me for this, it will be regarded as my misunderstanding. From then on, we parted ways. How can I bear it?"

At this point, Xue Li has no choice. It's not that she doesn't want to hide it, it's just that she can't. It would be better for both of them to be honest with each other.

Zhao Ying didn't expect that she could say such words so freely. After all, she looked so delicate and soft in front of him, and he thought that Xue Li loved Liang Yan so much that he couldn't live without him. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Don't you love Le'an? How can you say it so easily?"
