Under the moonlight, two people and a horse were galloping in the wilderness.
What was different from when he came was that Dongfang Liren sat in front of the horse and the fenders doubled as pillows, turning it into a hall of night terrors.
Ye Jingtang sat behind him, holding Ruliu's waist with his right hand, and drooping his left hand, and said softly:
"Don't be so anxious, I'm fine."
"It's not serious? You couldn't stand even after taking a few steps. If I hadn't hugged you, you would have fallen to the ground. If you don't rush back as soon as possible, what will you do if you meet your opponent again later?"
"Well……"
Ye Jingtang just dealt with Hu Yanjing, and finally pulled out the sword with one hand and sheathed it. He really overdid it and caused pain to his left shoulder. However, the injury had nothing to do with his legs, and he was not unsteady at all. He just took two steps.
Staggering, it was just trying to find a place to lean on.
But what Benben said made sense. If he met a top expert now, he would probably have to lie down after a few more attacks. He didn't say much at the moment, but just put his arms around his waist and paid attention to the surrounding movements.
The place where they met Hu Yanjing was only more than ten miles away from the camp. The two of them ran on horseback for a while before returning to the camp.
Horse thieves had just made trouble, and the guards in the team were awakened. They were patrolling the surrounding areas. Three caravan boys who accidentally kicked an iron plate were beaten to death on the spot. Their bodies had been dug and buried. She Long and others gathered together.
Together they discussed each other's origins and purposes.
Ye Jingtang got off his horse and came forward to communicate with a few people about the situation.
Dongfang Liren came to the carriage behind and looked around. Seeing that the Queen Mother had already fallen asleep and was not frightened, he quietly found the curtain and walked towards the carriage.
Realizing that the Night Terror Hall had not forgotten to discuss official matters, Dongfang Liren paused and acted as majestic as a queen should be:
"Night Terror Hall, come here."
Ye Jingtang looked back, said goodbye to She Long and others, and came to the carriage:
"Your Highness, please rest early. There was a disturbance just now. It is not safe to continue camping here. I will lead the team and continue setting off..."
Dongfang Liren sat down in the carriage, his eyes slightly displeased:
"It's just a fight. Can't they just keep an eye on this injured person while they're on the road? Come and sit down!"
Ye Jingtang was scolded, but he didn't say anything back. He honestly came to the carriage and sat down.
Dongfang Liren took the medical kit from the side, laid Ye Jingtang down on the couch, and began to apply medicine to treat the injury while whispering a warning:
"There are people out there. If you dare to be arrogant again, I will not let you go."
"I know, I'm not a pervert."
"Are you not yet?"
"hehe……
Ye Jingtang chuckled and leaned on the couch without moving.
There was dim candlelight in the carriage. Dongfang Liren was wearing a black skirt that was already relatively slim. At this moment, she leaned over slightly to rub her shoulders. She could clearly see two arcs full of tension, swinging back and forth in front of her.
But what is more eye-catching is that cheek. The heroic brows may seem calm but in fact worry and concern are written in the eyes. Occasionally, he bites his lower lip lightly to show a worried look. He looks domineering and gentle at the same time.
Dongfang Liren massaged her for a moment and found that Ye Jingtang was looking at her intently and raised his eyes slightly:
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Jingtang blinked and didn't respond. He just closed his eyes and acted serious, and smiled softly.
"Hmph..." Dongfang Liren raised his hand and patted Ye Jingtang's chest, and continued to help apply the medicine, but his cold cheeks were obviously redder than before...
…

The words are divided into two parts.
At noon, a belated autumn rain fell on the small town located on the border of the Wei Dynasty.
The old private school teacher, holding a cigarette pole behind his hands, walked out of the gate of the soil courtyard, looking at the town that was much more depressed than in previous years, a bit of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
This town is close to the historical Dahong River. Although the river has long since dried up and turned into a creek less than knee-deep, the name of Red River Town has been preserved and has been passed down to descendants for countless generations.
Because it is too close to the border and too far away from the Central Plains, Honghe Town is destined to never become prosperous. There are only more than a thousand people in the loess houses on the water.
The folk customs in Liangzhou are fierce, and this small border area is even more aggressive. Reading and literacy is a waste of money for the people of Honghe Town. The private school teacher inherited his father's business and first took over the private school. He was really poor.
Can't even afford food.
This situation did not change until twenty or thirty years ago.
At that time, a young young man named Pei Yuanfeng suddenly came to the town. He bought a house in the corner of the town and lived there alone. Later, he got acquainted with Yang Chao, a second-rate son of the Yang family in the town, and they teamed up to build a small house in the town.
Escort agency.
Because of their good martial arts skills and good people, young people in the town quickly became bodyguards. However, Liangzhou's clique culture was too strong. When there were more people, the bodyguard bureau became the "Red River Gang". In order to correct a group of people, Pei Yuanfeng
The bodyguards who were only fifteen or sixteen years old and were shouting and killing them all spent their own money to send them all to private schools to learn literacy.
Although these little bastards were difficult to teach, it was only from that time that the private school teacher felt like a well-educated and respected teacher.
Later, when these escorts came of age, married, had children, and had children, the private school became completely formal. At the busiest time, there were more than 20 children crowded in the courtyard as big as a palm, and no one listened to what he said.
And the child he remembers most deeply is the boy from Pei Yuanfeng's family who had a night terror.
Ye Jingtang has never been to a private school, and was taught by Pei Yuanfeng himself. However, when he was a child, he fished and walked around all day long, and he often ran here. He got to know him quite well, and he was smart and sensible. Every time he went to the river to catch fish and dig out bird eggs,
He didn't forget to give him some food to improve the food for this old man with handicapped legs.
The teacher didn't teach Ye Jing Tang, so he was naturally short-handed with other people's things. Moved by it, he told Ye Jing Tang a lot of outside things, and even reluctantly gave away the collector's edition of Jianghu Qishu, and exchanged two with Ye Jing Tang.
The pheasant successfully misled a young man and indirectly harmed a bunch of chivalrous women...
Later, when Ye Jingtang grew up, he was out escorting all day long, and the number of escorts he came over became less frequent.
The children who once studied in private schools have gradually grown up. When Yuan Feng of the Escort Bureau passed away at the beginning of the year, all the people in the Escort Bureau went to the Central Plains to make a living. The old town became deserted again, and few families gave birth to their children.
Came here to study.
The private school teacher took a few puffs from his pipe, and after thinking about the past for a moment, he sighed secretly and prepared to go back to the courtyard; but just as he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...
Since the Escort Bureau changed its owner, the new head of the Escort Bureau was a businessman and did not know how to run a business. The business was gone within three months. Now the Escort Bureau is closed and very few people come to the town.
When the private school teacher heard the noise, he turned around and came to the door to take a look. He saw a fast horse galloping on the loess road outside the town.
The horse's coat is snow-white and looks very strong. There is a woman sitting on it.
The woman wore a gauze curtain hat on her head and an oil coat and cloak on her shoulders to protect her from the wind and rain. When she passed the mound at the entrance of the town, she turned her head and looked at it for a few times. Then she came to the old street in the center of the town and looked around.
After finding the private school teacher standing at the door, the woman drove her horse to him, turned over and wanted to dismount and asked:
"Old man, did a caravan from Yunzhou pass by here recently?"
"The escort agency has closed down, and no caravans have come to the town for months. There are quite a few passing by from outside. Which caravan company is the girl looking for?"
"Hmm... Yunzhou Hutchison, there is a bodyguard in the caravan named Ye Jingtang. He is from Honghe Town. Do you know him?"
"Jingtang? Of course I know this person. I watched him grow up, but after leaving in March, he never came back..."
The private school teacher opened his eyes a few times and saw that this woman had a good temperament, so he curiously asked:
"Who is this girl?"
"Just friends from the world. Where is Ye Jingtang's hometown?"
"It's the former Honghe Escort Agency, but it has been sold. The current owner is looking for someone to take over..."
"oh……"
On top of the white horse, Xuanji, the real person dressed as a Jianghu heroine, probably had some doubts in her eyes after asking some questions.
After Ye Jing Tang left the capital with the Empress Dowager, Master Xuanji stayed in the capital to accompany her. After observing for four or five days and confirming that the empress was in a very stable condition after practicing the bathing in fire diagram, she chased after her on horseback.
Before Ye Jingtang left, the route was planned. They would set off first and cross the Gobi Desert in the shortest distance, directly to Honghe Town to wait for them; if the Queen Mother's condition was not good, they would leave the customs first.
The Queen Mother was still unconscious when Ye Jingtang left. Naturally, Master Xuanji could not have expected that the Queen Mother would run to Maple Leaf Lake for a trip on the way. She chased her all the way and did not catch up here. Judging from the speed of the convoy, she must have been there.
I missed it on the way and now I don’t know where the convoy is in the Gobi Desert. If I look back, I may miss it again.
Master Xuanji thought for a while and prepared to find an inn in the town to stay and wait for the convoy to arrive. However, when he led the horse past the old escort office in the corner of the town, he paused again and took a closer look at the loess walled compound.
I looked back at the vaguely visible mounds beside the official road outside the town, and I always felt that something seemed familiar...
