Someone came to the rescue in the desolate wilderness, which surprised the desperadoes. What's worse is that the strength of the man who seemed to have descended from the sky was obviously far superior to them. A flexible long whip seemed to swing unintentionally a few times,
Ten iron hooks fell to the ground one after another, and my wrists, which were numb with long whips, could not recover for a long time.
"This hero is very good at kung fu. Brothers admire him, but brothers must warn in advance that this kind of limelight is not allowed!" Although the leading man was unsure, he was still very tough on his words.
The threat with false respect was not responded to. One end of the long whip was hanging on the ground and the other end was held in the slender palm. Anyone who made the slightest move would be targeted by the seemingly alive long whip. Everyone who had just suffered the pain was full of vigilance and everyone took advantage of it.
The horse stood still. Among all the people, Bai Qige was the only one who didn't look nervous. Looking at that delicate and almost enchanting face, he let out a sigh of relief. The hand that was holding the sword was finally able to relax, and his body and mind relaxed.
"Come here." A short and calm voice came. Bai Qige jumped off the horse vigilantly, walked to the red horse in three steps and two steps at a time. He hesitated for a moment in front of the palm stretched out to her, then held it tightly, and used the strength to turn over.
Sit in the back.
Those few people were naturally anxious when they saw that Bai Qige was about to be rescued. They exchanged glances and wanted to suddenly attack. Unexpectedly, the whip was withdrawn and a handful of broken things were thrown over. They all fell on the ground in front of everyone and the horses. They looked carefully to see clearly.
After finding out what was dropped, the desperadoes had to give up the pursuit and watched helplessly as Bai Qige sat behind the mysterious horse and flew away - it was a pile of small but sharp crooked iron nails. If the horse stepped on it with one hoof,
This will cause one end to stick up and pierce the horse's leg, rendering it incapable of movement.
This is a gadget used by mountain bandits to block the pursuit of officers and soldiers. Why does it appear here? Why did that mysterious man appear at the critical moment to rescue Bai Qige? The leading man jumped off his horse and kicked up the dirt on the ground, feeling confused but confused.
It's more intense than regret, but the person has already escaped, so there's no point in blaming yourself. This mission was a complete failure.
Looking back from a distance, Bai Qige breathed a sigh of relief when no one was chasing her. She suddenly felt exhausted and couldn't muster any strength in her body.
"You saved me again." Bai Qige said lightly as she put away her dagger and hid it under her armor.
He was the one who rescued her when she rashly broke into the school military field to look for Yun Zhongjin. Although he had half of his face covered at the time, and he didn't behave like he would help her at all, Bai Qige also once doubted whether the mysterious man was actually
Su Jinyan, but this time she was 100% sure that the person who saved her was Su Jinyan.
The same figure, the same face, the same voice, the same blue eyes, who else could it be if not Su Jinyan?
"Take me to Lingyun City," Bai Qige suddenly remembered that Yi Chenjing's life and death were still unknown. Bai Qige instantly lost her coolness and composure. She tightened her sleeves and spoke urgently, "Yi Chenjing is in danger, I must find him!"
The horse did not speed up as she wanted, but the temporary groom who was asked to do so said calmly: "He is fine. Someone saved him and he is in the city."
"how do you know?"
"Believe it or not."
After only these two sentences of conversation, Bai Qige stopped talking no matter how anxiously she asked the other party, and just drove her horse in the direction of the post road.
Bai Qige's physical strength was almost exhausted after running around for a long time. After learning that Yi Chenjing was temporarily safe, she relaxed mentally. On the bumpy horse, she fell asleep sitting in a daze. The man who was riding the horse seriously felt his back
She unconsciously leaned against him as he sank. He was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless expression, and quietly slowed down to let her sleep more peacefully.
Looking at the mountain is like running to death, and so is the vast wilderness. The vast plain looks close but is actually far away. It has been half an hour since we returned to the post road, and we are still a long way from Lingyun City.
The horse's hooves came to a steady stop. Bai Qige was still immersed in a deep sleep with no intention of waking up. Looking at a deserted small inn on the roadside, her green eyes showed a hint of hesitation. After a moment of silence, Bai Xiu reached out her palm to her back and touched it gently.
There was a sudden force on Bai Qige's shoulder, and her defenseless body could not withstand the force of the push. She fell directly from the horse and fell heavily on the hard ground.
The dreamless sleep was awakened by the sudden falling sensation and severe pain. Bai Qige broke out in a cold sweat. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall and thin figure covering the sun, looking at her quietly from top to bottom.
"Walking the rest of the way by yourself."
Without any other words, his green eyes didn't even stop for a moment before he turned around and drove away.
How could she walk to Lingyun City by herself like this? Bai Qige smiled bitterly, rubbing her sprained ankle and sitting there. She really couldn't tell whether the push just now was intentional or unintentional. The horseback said it was high or low, or low.
Falling down without any preparation and getting injured is almost inevitable, but Su Jinyan's words are not unexpected - the man sometimes helps her and sometimes hurts her, and there is a strange and uncertain face under the indifferent and almost rigid face.
I can't always figure out the reality of my character, probably because I was tortured by Yi Chenxuan.
However, Bai Qige still couldn't help but feel strange, why didn't Su Jinyan stay with Yi Chenxuan and go to the border thousands of miles away? Those people were definitely sent by Yi Chenxuan to assassinate her and Yi Chenjing. It stands to reason that Su Jinyan
Shouldn't we help them? Why did we save her in turn?
There are more and more questions. If Yi Chenxuan is a hypocritical illusion that she failed to detect in time, then Su Jinyan is a fog that cannot be cleared away and cannot be seen through. She is drifting between the two forces of Yi Chenxuan and Yi Chenjing.
indefinite.
Bai Qige was lost in thought while looking at the post road where no figure could be seen in the distance. Bai Qige didn't notice that the door of the inn was quietly opened and someone was approaching step by step.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Are you injured, little brother?" A gentle voice suddenly came, and Bai Qige was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she was still wearing armor and had her long hair tied up high, resembling a young recruit.
"I accidentally sprained my foot, just sit down for a while and it will be fine." Bai Qige said casually, enduring the pain and turned around to see who was behind her - I always felt like I had heard that voice somewhere, and couldn't remember it for a moment. Her generous palm
Stretching out in front of her eyes, the gold-embroidered sleeves represented wealth, which was incompatible with the poverty on the border. She raised her head and her eyes touched the other person's face. Bai Qige was surprised and lost her voice: "It's you?!"
Her soft face has clean lines, her blue eyes are very similar to Su Jinyan's, her eyes are as calm as flowing water, and her light blond hair is dazzling and bright, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, and she has a peaceful aura as warm as jade. Such an unforgettable graceful demeanor.
Deep in her heart, even if there was no mask this time, Bai Qige immediately understood where the feeling of déjà vu came from.
It's him! The merchant who gave her the dagger in the imperial capital market!
"Do you know me, little brother?" The man was slightly surprised. After looking carefully, he recognized Bai Qige, and suddenly smiled widely, "It turns out to be you, girl! I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I couldn't recognize it right away through this armor.
Come on, it’s really rude.”
Bai Qige let out a long sigh. She didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sense of trust in this unfamiliar man, even though this was the second time they met.
"The girl is wearing armor. Could it be that she went out with the Far Eastern Army? I didn't see the Far Eastern Army coming. Why did the girl come here alone?"
"It's a long story, so I won't go into details. Young Master, can you help me? I'm in a hurry to get to Lingyun City, but this foot..." Bai Qige pointed to her ankle and looked at the young merchant with some embarrassment. Asking for help is not the right thing.
It's something she likes to do, but there is no one else but him right now, and she has been worried about Yi Chenjing but still can't let it go. No matter what, Bai Qige wants to rush to Lingyun City to meet Yi Chenjing as soon as possible.
"Look, I'm so confused that I've forgotten such an important thing." Slapping his forehead hard, the young merchant hurriedly helped Bai Qige, who was limping, and pointed to the inn, "I happen to be going to the city later.
How about we go together? There are still vacancies in the inn, so the girl might as well rest first. There are no free horses in the post, so there is nothing we can do no matter how anxious we are."
The deserted inn really didn't look like there were many people coming and going. Bai Qige hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I will repay you double the amount you spent when we get to the city."
"It's a small amount of money, don't worry about it. But I have a small request, and I hope the girl can agree." The businessman Bimu said seriously.
"My lord, I'm serious. I'm very grateful for the help you gave me twice. If you need anything, just ask."
"It's not an important matter," he held Bai Qige's shoulders firmly, smiling gently and frankly, "I just hope that the girl will stop calling me Young Master. It sounds too offensive, so you can call me by my name - Ning Xizui."
I would rather be drunk when I take a break from my busy schedule, and talk to each other among the flowers.
This man is just like his name, he is a leisurely and reclusive person, his elegance seems to be untainted by the world, with alien skin, blue eyes, and long light golden hair, he has a somewhat immortal appearance out of thin air.
With Ning Xizui's support, she went into the inn to rest for a long time. Bai Qige briefly explained the situation but did not reveal the identity of the princess. She only said that she was an insignificant subordinate under the seventh prince and that she was separated from Yi Chenjing during the deputy general's rebellion. Ning Xige
Zui didn't seem to be interested in these things. Instead, she chanted Bai Qige's name and praised her for a long time. After several urgings, she settled the room payment and took care of many matters. She also went to the innkeeper to get a bottle of medicine for Bai Qige. After applying it, he helped her go downstairs, carefully.
Helped him to the carriage.
"It's not a long way to Lingyun City, but we can't move quickly while pulling two carts of fragile goods. I'd like to ask Miss Bai to bear with me a little longer."
Bai Qige shook her head: "It's enough to be able to get there. If I hadn't met Mr. Ning, I don't know how long it would have taken to arrive." After a short pause, Bai Qige's eyes glanced over, asking about irrelevant things intentionally or unintentionally.
: "The color of Mr. Ning's eyes and hair are different from those of Dayao. He must be a distinguished guest from a foreign race. Don't you feel lonely after doing business in a foreign land for many years? Or, Mr. Ning also has fellow countrymen of the same race in Dayao, and they have the same wealth as you.
Someone with such wonderfully colored eyes?”
Su Jinyan and Ning Xizui, both of them have the same eye color. What’s more noteworthy is that Su Jinyan left her in front of the inn without any explanation, and Ning Xizui happened to show up. Is this really a coincidence?
, or another despicable scam?
Having been deceived too many times, Bai Qige no longer dares to trust anyone easily, even though she has a good impression of Ning Xizui.
"Yes, of course." Ning Xizui's smile did not change, still gentle and friendly, "And, it's right here."
