Outside the city gate.
"Sir, the time is almost up, but we still haven't seen that young master. Could he be deceiving us? He won't come to keep the appointment, right?"
Wujing stretched his neck, stood on tiptoe, and looked towards the avenue leading into the city. He looked for a long time, his neck was sore, but he didn't see Li Xia.
He swallowed, turned to look at Xiao Yihe beside him, moved his mouth and complained.
That day, they saw that the young master was speaking sincerely and it didn't seem like he was lying to them.
But now it is very close to the time he mentioned that day, and he hasn't arrived yet.
Wujing shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little discouraged.
He had even concluded in his heart that he and the young master had been deceived, and Li Xia would not come to the appointment, nor would he give them an explanation.
"Be patient, isn't the time not here yet? Since we promised him that day, we must wait here until the agreed time. If he doesn't come by then, we will leave. But now the time has not come yet, no matter if he is deceiving us or not, or whether he will come or not, we must wait here."
Compared with the frivolity of the Five Classics, Xiao Yihe seemed much more contented.
He didn't know why he had an inexplicable trust in someone he had only met once.
Perhaps what he said that day was too sincere.
It may also be that they wanted to wait for him to come and see what kind of explanation he could give them.
Wujing spread his hands and said, "Sir, you are not in a hurry at all."
I guess the young master was afraid that they would cause trouble over there that day, and they were outnumbered, so he might have wanted to help them and let them leave quickly.
Wujing thought about this and realized that even if the young master really deceived them, it was for their own good.
Anyway.
He helped himself and the young master that day, so he should be grateful.
If he hadn't shown up, they would have probably been captured by the officers and soldiers by now.
Xiao Yiyi blinked his eyes, licked his lips, and replied, "Being anxious won't solve anything. I believe that young master doesn't look like a man who doesn't keep his word. Anyway, didn't he tell us that it would be 3:30 pm? Let's wait until that time. If he doesn't come by then, we can leave."
"Okay, this is the only way." Wujing nodded.
at the same time.
"Doctor Xiao Li, we are already quite far away from the military camp, so there is no need to trouble you to accompany me all the way. I am already very grateful to you for accompanying me all the way here. Let me walk the rest of the way by myself." Wang Xinlan said with a blink of her eyes.
He helped her to clear her name and gain her freedom, and now he was escorting her all the way out of the military camp. She was really embarrassed to let him escort her all the way.
Li Xia raised her eyes and looked at the road ahead.
We're almost there.
It would probably take a bit of time to get there, and I wonder if Young Master Xiao will still be waiting there.
"It's okay. Although this place is quite far from the military camp, there are not many people on this road. I am worried about you, a girl, so I will take you to the gate of Yongzhou City, and then we will say goodbye there. There are more people coming and going there, so I will feel more at ease." Li Xia looked into Wang Xinlan's eyes, licked his lips, and said with a random excuse.

"Sir, it's already 15:30, and we still haven't seen the young master. Should we stop waiting?" Wu Jing blinked, looked up at Xiao Yi, and said with his mouth open, "Sir, we have waited here until this hour as agreed with the young master. Since he hasn't come, he probably won't come either. If we continue to wait here, it will only be a waste of time. Sir, let's go back and think about whether we can find other ways to get clues about our cousin."
He looked up at the sun in the sky, estimated the time, and said to Xiao Yihe.
Xiao Yihe frowned slightly when he heard this, "Wu Jin, let's wait another quarter of an hour or two. Maybe he was delayed by something. If we leave now, he will think we didn't show up when he comes and doesn't see us. Anyway, we have already waited this long, so we can just wait a little longer."
Now that we are here, there is no need to waste some time.
I might as well wait a little longer.
"Well, since you have said so, what else can I say?" Wujing sighed, his tone slightly helpless.
The young master is the master and he is the servant.
He couldn't force his master.
Since the young master has decided to wait, no matter how much he says, it will not shake his decision. He can only wait with him.
"Huh~ We're finally here."
Li Xia saw that the time she and Xiao Yihe had agreed upon was getting closer and closer. She was afraid that she would not have enough time, so she grabbed Wang Xinlan's wrist through her sleeve and pulled her hand to speed up her pace.
Not until she vaguely saw the word "Yongzhou" on the plaque hanging above the city gate did she stop and take a breath.
"Doctor Li, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Wang Xinlan also panted.
After all, she is a woman with limited physical strength. She has been raised in the boudoir since childhood. As a lady in the boudoir, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in terms of physical strength, she is really not good enough.
When Li Xia pulled Wang Xinlan's wrist, she didn't even have time to react, so Li Xia pulled her and walked quickly forward.
Wang Xinlan was a little uncomfortable at first. After all, according to her concept and education, she was taught to have courtesy, morality, integrity and shame, and to avoid suspicion when there were differences between men and women.
But she also felt that Doctor Li had no other awareness and just wanted to hurry on his way. He was probably afraid that he would leave her behind if he walked too fast.
Li Xia took two breaths and regained some strength. She stood up and looked at Wang Xinlan, "Miss Wang, we'll be there soon. Let's keep going. Don't ask so many questions. You'll know when we get there."
Just a few more steps and you'll reach your destination.
I hope my guess is correct.
In this way, I can do something to repay Xiao Yihao.
"Young master, look, that young master is here. Huh?" When Wujing saw Li Xia coming, he excitedly raised his hand and pointed forward.
Wujing immediately noticed Wang Xinlan next to Li Xia.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "Cousin?!" Wu Jing's eyes widened, "Master, look!"
He was so excited that he was incoherent.
Although Wang Xinlan was dressed as a man at the moment, people who were familiar with her could recognize her at a glance.
When Xiao Yihe saw Wujing's reaction, he blinked and looked in the direction of his finger.
"cousin!"
His reaction was exactly the same as the Five Classics.
