It seemed as if I felt that I was trying hard to suppress myself. Pei Yuanxiu held my hand harder and his voice became more firmer: "The news they sent back, Li'er was just kidnapped - don't worry! I will definitely find Li'er and take it back safely!"

My cold fingertips slowly calmed down in his palm. I raised my head and looked at his firm eyes. I gently said, "Hmm...?

Hearing my voice, he immediately felt relieved and smiled at me.

But just as he was about to get up and be about to leave, he felt my backhand grab his hand. Pei Yuanxiu was suddenly shocked and turned around and looked at me in disbelief.

I looked into his eyes calmly: "I'll go too."

"What?" He heard this and immediately subconsciously said: "No."

"I must go."

"Qingying!"

"Young Master!" I looked at him seriously and irresistible and said, "No matter what disaster my daughter encounters or what harm she will suffer, as a mother, I should be with her side. I have been absent for so many years, and I don't want to be absent at this time, when she is so close to her!"

As if shocked by my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a while, and finally said softly: "But your body--"

"I've been much better, and any mother will stick with it for her daughter." I said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to bear what I am today."

“…”

Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything, just looked at me, with a hint of shaking trembling in his eyes. After a while, he turned around and looked at me, holding my hands tightly, and said, "I can take you there, but Qingying, you must also agree to me-"

"I won't force myself." Before he could speak, I said, "I won't take risks. I want to let myself and my daughter meet safely."

Hearing my promise, Pei Yuanxiu finally felt relieved and nodded gently: "Okay."

.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the Yin hour had passed, and naturally he could not fall asleep in the following time. Soon, a few maids came to serve me to wash and dress, and then sorted out my luggage. Before dawn, I helped me out of the inner courtyard. Pei Yuanxiu was already waiting at the door with his people. When he saw me out, he immediately came to meet me.

"You're here."

I nodded and looked around. He was indeed a lot of people, and they were all good at it. But some surprise, I saw two carriages parked at the door.

If you rushed to save people, you shouldn’t be riding a horse, so you can go there as soon as possible?

As if you saw the doubt in my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "Your body can't bear such bumps, so I'll prepare a carriage for you."

I hurriedly said, "Don't worry about me, it's important to go and save Li'er earlier."

"Qingying, you promised me that you must be obedient."

"But--"

"Shh-" He stretched out his finger, put a little on the white gauze in front of my hat, and said softly: "I promised you that I will bring Li'er back safely. You must also be obedient. If it weren't for you... then nothing I did would make sense."

If it weren't for you... then nothing I did would make sense.

These words echoed in my ears. I looked at his eyes without any smile and was stunned.

The sky was dark and the clouds were thick. Yangzhou City, which was not shining with sunlight, was as cold as a bonsai in such an early morning. The only warm one was his hand. I was led by him to the side of the carriage and said softly: "I used good horses to pull these two carriages. Don't worry, it won't be slower than we ride. But when the carriages cannot be on the mountain road, you have to get off. Only then will it really depend on whether you can carry it down. You can take a good rest while you are now."

I finally couldn't say anything else. I nodded gently and was about to get on the carriage, but I saw a group of people behind me carrying several big boxes and putting the boxes in the carriage behind me. Seeing that the box was heavy, I shook it a few times when I put it on the carriage. I couldn't help but feel a little strange - aren't we going to save Li'er? What are we doing with those big boxes?

Just as he was wondering, Pei Yuanxiu had already helped me into the carriage, and he jumped up quickly.

I moved to the window and looked back, and asked, "What is the carriage behind?"

He said calmly: "Money."

"ah?"

"If those people want money, that's the best thing to do."

"oh……"

I forgot that Li'er was robbed, perhaps for money. If they could give them gold, silver and treasures, they could redeem Li'er. This is naturally the safest and most appropriate way.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Pei Yuanxiu. Fortunately, he thought it through carefully.

but……

If those people don't have money, they're just afraid-

When Pei Yuanxiu met my gaze, he seemed to know everything and smiled faintly at me: "Don't worry, keep your eyes closed and rest now. When we get there, we will see the opportunity to do it again."

I nodded.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly heard a noisy sound from outside. It seemed that someone was talking loudly inside. Many people's footsteps were sounding. After a while, someone ran out of the inside, asked, and ran to our carriage and said respectfully: "Young Master..."

Pei Yuanxiu had already closed his eyes and rested, but at this time he opened his eyes, frowned slightly in a slight way between his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Zitong has heard the news and is going there too."

Miss Zitong? It is the descendant of King Jiangxia, Han Zitong!

When I heard her name, I subconsciously opened my eyes wide, but saw Pei Yuanxiu just said lightly: "Tell her to let her stay in the mansion well. When we go, we will naturally save Ruoshi."

"yes."

The man took the order and retreated. He heard a whistle outside, and the sound of horse hooves galloped forward, and our carriage quickly started.

.

Because it was to save people, we naturally could not delay the time. The first team of horses quickly left us and disappeared in front. Pei Yuanxiu did not lie to me. The horses pulling the cart were indeed good horses. Although they could not catch up with the speeding horses, they did not slow down too much. It was just that we could not feel too comfortable under the premise of moving forward so quickly.

After driving for most of the day, I was so painful that my body was so bumped that I felt a little painful, but when I thought that Li'er might be in danger, I could only grit my teeth and endure it. In order to rush forward, we hardly stopped to rest in the middle. We just looked at the sunlight outside the window as fire, and then slowly dimmed. I held on for a day, and my eyelids were still fighting. Finally, I couldn't help it and closed my eyes gently.

I don’t know if it was because I was too tired or for some reason, but the carriage was bumping like this, and it was uneasy even when I fell asleep. I frowned and was so shaking that I was so conscious that I was humming. After a while, it seemed as if I had fallen into a cloud in my dream. The soft and warm breath around me surrounded me, which finally made me feel a little more comfortable and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I couldn't open my eyes, but I felt a slight feeling of breathing blowing on my cheeks.

The warm feeling under me made me stunned. I opened my eyes and realized that I was being held in my arms by Pei Yuanxiu!

He leaned against the side of the carriage, almost holding my upper body in my arms. No wonder I slept so peacefully. He helped me with all the bumps, but he didn't rest. When he met my eyes, the slightly red eyes bent.

My body stiffened and I hurriedly struggled: "Young Master..."

He didn't stop me, but just let go and looked at me with a smile: "Did you sleep well?"

"..." I bit my lower lip and didn't say anything.

"Don't mind," he looked at me gently. "I just saw you sleeping so hard that you want to make you feel more comfortable."

“…”

"Don't worry, no one else sees it."

"..." I looked at him, and wanted to speak but stopped - in fact, I didn't mind seeing others. He hugged me in and out several times in Yangzhou, and had been seen by someone a long time ago. I just didn't want to - thinking about this, I raised my head and looked at his gentle eyes, making me even more speechless.

At this time, the carriage stopped.

A horse turned back from the front, walked to the carriage, and said respectfully: "Young Master, the carriage cannot be left on the road below."

When he and I heard this, we were refreshed. Pei Yuanxiu immediately said, "Prepare the horse."

He said, lifting the curtain and jumping down. I hurried to the door. As soon as he stood still, he turned around and stretched out his hands at me: "Come."

I was stunned for a moment, feeling my joints that were still a little sore, so I could only reach out and get out of the car by half, and I was half supported and half carried away. Only then did I see that the convoy had entered a valley. The smoke and dust on the road when I came had not yet dissipated. When I looked up, I saw that there was a narrow and rugged mountain road ahead, and the carriage could not move forward at all.

In addition to our carriage, the carriage containing gold, silver and jewelry just now also stopped. A group of people walked over, unboxed the boxes and distributed them to the bags on each person's saddle.

As I was watching, a servant was already leading a tall horse slowly coming over. Pei Yuanxiu took the reins and turned over and got on the back of the horse.

His body was very agile. I only watched my clothes fly. He was already sitting steadily on the horse's back, then leaned down and reached out to me.

Still the same as just now.

I looked up and looked at the rugged and steep mountain road ahead. No matter what my equestrian skills are, I am afraid I can't hold on for too long based on my current body.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, reached out and grabbed his hand, and felt him pulling it hard, and I was pulled onto the horse and sat in his arms.

A hand came across, wrapped it firmly around my waist. I felt his breathing in my ears and said softly: "Sit firmly."

I don’t know if it was because his breath was a bit strangely hot, and my ears were also burned red by the breath, and I just said softly: “Yes.”
