The sound of dripping water changed from vague to clear, mixed with subtle human voices. Xiao Baishan tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was the simple bed curtains and the dim sunset.
"Sister! General Xiao is awake!" A voice of surprise sounded around him. Xiao Baishan pulled up his chapped lips and smiled bitterly. He wanted to reach out and rub his ears that were buzzing from the shock, but he couldn't. He couldn't muster any strength in his body. Yes, like that.
It's a miracle that he survived such serious injuries. Do you still want to jump out of bed and live life with knives and guns?
His steps were hurried, his eyes blurred, and his white palm fell on the weak lieutenant's forehead.
"Fortunately, I don't have a fever. If I rest for a few more days, I'll be able to walk on the ground." Bai Qige straightened up with a long sigh, and finally there was a smile on her tired face, "You will be lucky if you survive a disaster, General Xiao, from now on you
I will be surrounded by lucky stars."
"There's no need for Lucky Star, just don't let me meet such a strong opponent again." Turning his head slightly, Xiao Baishan turned to look at Bai Qige with a depressed expression, "This is Lingyun City? It seems that the general's mission has been completed, although there are some
It’s embarrassing. I don’t know if the general will blame him.”
In order to complete the task, she almost lost her life. If Yi Chenjing really wanted to blame her, she would be the first to object. Bai Qige did not answer the question, turned around and took the tea cup from Bai Haoyu and brought it to Xiao Baishan's mouth, without caring about identity or the relationship between men and women.
Issues such as lack of intimacy.
"Sister, do you want to tell Brother Ning?" Bai Haoyu, who had never taken care of anyone before, was at a loss and asked softly, scratching his head.
Bai Qige glanced at the sky outside the window and frowned: "I don't know if he is in the inn at this time. Go, if Mr. Ning is not here, ask the doctor to come over. It's time to change the dressing."
Bai Haoyu left in response, and only Bai Qige and Xiao Baishan were left in the small but clean room. After drinking a glass of water to clear his throat, Xiao Baishan's face became solemn: "There are many things I shouldn't ask, but the current situation is special and I can't care too much.
Princess, what exactly do the fifth princes have to do with you? Why did you bring Mr. Bai into the army and kill him so cruelly when the war was about to begin? The emperor’s unfinished wish for many years was to conquer the Huoluo River Khanate in the north. There is no room for any mistakes. If the princess has any
The three long and two shortcomings will definitely affect the general - this sentence may be a bit callous, but both the prince and the general understand that this is indeed the case."
"It's a long story, and the stakes are so intricate that I can't explain it clearly at the moment." Bai Qige sighed, "In short, it's a struggle for power, which is not uncommon in past dynasties. General Xiao probably knows that I know the art of war and weapons.
In addition to the fact that the second brother now holds the strength of the three armies of the Zhao Kingdom, the fifth prince is afraid that my existence will break the balance of power between him and His Highness, so he repeatedly caused trouble inside and outside the palace and even during the expedition, trying to kill me.
Get rid of it. Now that the war is coming, I really don’t want His Highness to be distracted by these things. If General Xiao has any good methods, I hope you can give me some advice."
How can a person who has been dealing with the battlefield all year round have any good ideas? Xiao Baishan was a little sad, and after a long time he had no choice but to respond: "We can only take one step at a time. After all, it is a grudge between two princes. The general is the same as the prince and concubine.
Being forced into the situation..."
"What, are we talking about confidential matters? Do you want me to step aside?" A clear voice suddenly came. He turned around and saw Ning Xizui leaning in front of the door, smiling like a spring breeze.
Bai Qige trusted the chic blue-eyed businessman, but Xiao Baishan, who had not been in close contact with him, could not trust him. He immediately stopped talking when an outsider appeared and only nodded as a greeting. Ning Xizui knocked on the door, with a thin figure behind him.
The doctor walked into the room in response, and quickly took out the medicine bottle and cloth strap to change Xiao Baishan's dressing. Taking advantage of this gap, Ning Xizui pulled Bai Qige's sleeve and winked at the door.
"Thank you, Boss Ning, for your help." When she walked outside the room, before Ning Xizui could say anything, Bai Qige thanked her first. Two days ago, she dragged the seriously injured Xiao Baishan and his weak brother helpless on the Hongque Plain. It was Ning Xizui who
After receiving the letter from the mysterious man, he drove a carriage and came with the doctor to look for her. If the treatment had not been timely, Xiao Baishan would have been another life debt of Su Jinyan. It took a day and a night to get to Lingyun City, and most of the day passed while waiting for Xiao Baishan to wake up.
, it had been several days since she escaped from the Yaojun camp, and her worries about Yi Chenjing became more intense. However, when facing Ning Xizui, Bai Qige still tried her best to keep a smile: "Thankfully, boss Ning hasn't left Lingyun City yet, otherwise
We really don’t know who to turn to for help, and we must repay this great kindness in the future.”
Ning Xizui still looked casual yet graceful, with a gentle and gentle curve to her lips: "As long as it is what Miss Bai needs, Ning Xizui will not hesitate to go through the sword and the sea of fire."
"A gentleman will die for his confidant. Mr. Ning is indeed a gentleman. By the way, I have to rush back to the military camp tonight, and I have to ask Mr. Ning to spend money to sponsor a good horse." Bai Qige changed the subject quietly, hiding in her heart
There was a hint of uneasiness.
She never thought that she was charming enough to attract a handsome young man like Ning Xizui. Her relationship with Yi Chenjing was based on getting to know each other day and night, so there was no problem. But what about Ning Xizui? Even though they had similar temperaments, the two had similar temperaments.
We only interacted with each other a few times, and it would be ridiculous to say that there is a relationship between a man and a woman. However, this is the second time that he has said very ambiguous words intentionally or unintentionally, and there is always a strange feeling in his ears.
"So urgent? You haven't had a good rest in the past few days. Why don't you take a nap and regain your energy before going back tomorrow? Your face is as white as snowflakes. I'm really afraid that you will collapse from exhaustion one day."
Ning Xizui's expression was as usual, as if she thought there was nothing wrong with what she just said. This made Bai Qige feel that she was just thinking wildly, and she had no choice but to laugh at herself: "General Xiao is His Highness's most capable lieutenant, and he will definitely not be able to rush back to Fubi after being injured like this.
If I stay in Lingyun City and ignore him, there will be only one deputy general in the army, General Liang, and His Highness will have to work a hundred times harder than me."
"That's true." A trace of confusion flashed through his green eyes, and Ning Xizui asked curiously, "Before I had time to ask you what happened, I heard that the Yaojun Army and the Huoluohe Khanate were about to go to war.
Why are you and General Xiao injured like that in the wilderness instead of busy in the army? Did you encounter a bad guy?"
How bold does it take for a gangster to dare to attack her? Regardless of her status as a princess, Xiao Baishan's martial prowess and her skillful fighting experience are enough to defeat ordinary gangsters, even those as powerful and irresistible as Su Jinyan.
Only the enemy could inflict such heavy damage. Of course, Bai Qige would not say these words clearly. It was not that she wanted to hide anything, but she just did not want to involve the innocent Ning Xizui in this mess. She was so indifferent to the world.
A happy businessman should really not be associated with any power struggles.
"Can I not tell you?" Facing Ning Xizui, Bai Qige chose to ask frankly.
Ning Xizui shrugged: "Okay, it's fine if Miss Bai doesn't make things difficult. I'll have the horses prepared right now. I've already asked the waiter downstairs to prepare meals - no matter how urgent it is, I have to fill my stomach before going on the road. I don't want to
The second time someone shot an arrow through the window paper, it told me you were in danger."
"Danger? What does it have to do with eating?" Bai Qige was confused for a moment.
Bai Xiu's slender fingers were different from Yi Chenjing's. They didn't have any calluses formed by holding weapons. He lifted them up and gently scraped the tip of Bai Qige's nose. The action was extremely intimate. The informal young businessman pointed to the lobby downstairs, bright and clear.
His eyes narrowed into a crescent shape: "Isn't it dangerous to be starved and fainted alone on the deserted plains? It's still early, can we have a few drinks together to show our respects?"
A sincere invitation is hard to refuse, and there is no need to refuse.
The mood that had been depressed for several days suddenly became much brighter. That beautiful alien face and clear voice always taught Bai Qige to relax her mood, like a bright light.
A lifetime of wandering is not in vain if you have a close friend in life.
Ning Xizui was a person who understood the subtleties and knew that Bai Qige was concerned about Yi Chenjing, so he just coaxed and persuaded her to eat a little to replenish her strength and then ended the so-called drinking game. She didn't drink a drop of wine from beginning to end, for fear that
Something happened to Bai Qige on the way. When Feng Wujiang prepared a good horse with a cold face, the young merchant, who always smiled gently, stopped the smile on his face and followed Bai Qige's slender body with a solemn gaze.
Who knows if she will show up again during this farewell? The sky is unpredictable, people are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and fate is the most unpredictable. I wanted to have a drink now, but I have to wave goodbye to her according to her thoughts. Her mood here is uncertain.
People who have experienced it will never understand.
The dark BMW drove away, and Bai Haoyu went to take care of Xiao Baishan honestly. On the long street, only Ning Xizui was left, still looking at the figure in the north that turned into a black dot and disappeared, reluctant to leave.
"Do you have anything to say to the child, foster father?" The tall figure stood with his hands behind his hands, his warm aura suddenly disappeared, replaced by a serious tone with a hint of questioning, "Miss Bai is my friend, I don't want to see anyone again
Hurt her."
Inside the inn door, a dark-colored figure walked out leisurely, it was Feng Wujiang with a sneer on his face.
"It's not easy for me to kill her, so why go to all the trouble to wait until now? Besides, her being alive is of great benefit to us. Even if she wants to die, I will stand in the way of the devil and spare her a small life."
Ning Xizui was silent for a while. When he turned around, the dissatisfaction on his face was gone, and he still had that peaceful face: "So there is someone else who is chasing her and General Xiao?"
"I told you to avoid me all the time, and I won't tell you any news." Seemingly finding a rare opportunity to vent his anger, Feng Wujiang rolled his eyes fiercely, not realizing at all how childish and ridiculous his behavior was, "The person who is chasing her is
It's Jinyan. You've also had contact with that kid, but he never listens to me. This time it was either Yi Chenxuan's order or he acted without permission. In short, it has nothing to do with me."
Ning Xizhen laughed drunkenly: "Father, calm down, the child has wrongly blamed you, isn't it okay?" Considering that Bai Qige's situation has not yet been eliminated, the two long eyebrows above her green eyes slightly frowned: "In the past few days, there have been a group of about three people.
A team of ten people is wandering around Lingyun City, and it seems that they belong to neither Yi Chenjing nor Yi Chenxuan. Miss Bai is alone and weak, and she doesn't know if she can return to the Dayao army safely."
Feng Wujiang didn't want to see his expression the most, so he snorted coldly and didn't answer. Instead, another figure walked out from the shadow of the eaves and took over the conversation. His tone was as indifferent as dead water: "If necessary, I can go with her."
"That's the best." Having expected this response, Ning Xizui nodded heavily, looking at the man in front of him who looked exactly the same as Su Jinyan, with a rather aggrieved expression on his face, "You know me best, so it's not righteous.
My father only scolds me and scolds me harshly. He has a bad temper and is really difficult to get along with."
Being beaten around the bush for an opportunity and being ruined again, Feng Wujiang was so angry that he had nothing to say, he glared fiercely and walked away. After achieving his goal, Ning Xizui dropped his smile, his steady eyes were mature and confident, showing the unique shrewdness of a businessman.
"Qi Ge's safety is in your hands. I believe you will live up to expectations. Don't give up, please."
