It was getting late, and the badly worn wheels made a tired creaking sound, but the driver, who was humming a tune in the twilight, seemed not to have heard it, with a relaxed look on his young face.
A series of rapid hoofbeats gradually approached, and when they were less than ten feet behind the carriage, the driver turned back to take a look. The young man riding the horse was helpless. He slowly tightened the reins and stopped the horse. When he jumped to the ground, he jumped to the ground with great skill. The setting sun was setting.
Under the photo, her stunning appearance suddenly made her look like a beautiful lady from all over the country.
"Did your adoptive father nag you again when you met him?" Ning Xizui sat sideways in the front of the carriage, with a slight smile on her lips.
"Fortunately, we only talked for half an hour." Su Buqi rubbed his forehead, his cautious expression slightly relaxed, "I said I have something important to tell you and my adoptive father let you go. He also specifically asked me to tell you that he will
Find a place to rest near Molian Mountain, you don’t have to wait for him.”
Ning Xizui said calmly: "I didn't want to wait for him at all."
"...Don't ask me why I came back?" Ignoring Ning Xizui's disrespect for his elders as a junior, Su Buqi said in a calm tone.
"You came to me just to explain why. Why bother asking that question? I'm not a foster father. I won't give up until I have to say a basket full of things every day."
Su Buqi sighed softly, his delicate face slightly tired: "It's Jin Yan. He drugged me and injured General I, and then took the concubine away and disappeared."
"Why are you always deceived by him? Is it because younger brothers are smarter than older brothers?" Ning Xizui seemed to have misunderstood the key point of Su Buqi's words. Seeing Su Buqi's look of disdain, he coughed slightly and sat upright, shaking his head regretfully.
Shaking his head, "Jin Yan is a fierce horse. Neither you nor the adoptive father can control him. Now I just hope that he will not take the person to the fifth prince, otherwise I will have a bad relationship with that stingy prince."
Su Buqi's slender slanted eyebrows frowned slightly, but he stopped talking.
As if she had anticipated what he wanted to say, Ning Xizui shook her folding fan and smiled lightly: "The fifth prince wants to kidnap the concubine and threaten the seventh prince, and the seventh prince's taking the throne will do more good than harm to us. Besides, Miss Bai is his
I'm the princess, I can't just stand by and watch my friend in trouble - Hey, if you don't give up, you're getting married so soon? Congratulations."
"What kind of family--" Su Buqi was about to retort, but suddenly remembered something, and turned around with helpless eyes.
Behind a thick tree trunk dozens of steps away, a woman in a moonlight dress stood cautiously and looked timidly at the two of them.
Turning around and shaking his head, Su Buqi deliberately lowered his voice: "It's the seventh prince's side room. She probably heard me telling Jinyan before that I wanted to return to the seventh prince's side, so she followed me when I left. She didn't mean any harm.
I just want to meet the Seventh Prince."
"I didn't say she was a bad person, why are you anxious?" He looked at Su Buqi with a teasing smile. The latter was stunned and showed a rare expression of embarrassment. He closed the folding fan and squinted his long green eyes, Ning Xi smiled drunkenly with her cheek raised.
: "It's easy to get rid of someone with your skills. You didn't mind taking the trouble to bring her all the way and then specially put her behind so that I wouldn't see her. What's the reason? Huh?"
Su Buqi became increasingly speechless and could only close his mouth and remain silent.
Su Jinyan first agreed with him to protect Concubine Jing together, but when he let down his guard, he drugged him and took Concubine Jing away. When he woke up, he saw Ou Suiliang fell to the ground seriously injured, and Jin Zhaoyi and others around him were anxious.
.Entrusted by Ning Xizui to help Ou Suiliang protect the concubine Jing failed, he urged Ou Suiliang to leave with Jin Zhaoyi and others, and then prepared to get on his horse and head west to meet Ning Xizui. Unexpectedly, he was arrested by Su just as he left the village.
Yan stopped him and insisted on going with him no matter what.
It was true as Ning Xizui said, it would be easy for him to get rid of Su Yan, but seeing her firm eyes and begging look, he actually managed to get her on the horse.
And then regretted it all the way.
Ning Xizui waved to Su Yan who was behind the tree. Su Yan hesitated a little. After seeing Su Buqi nodding, he stepped forward and walked over. There was a hint of urgency in his unfamiliar and fearful eyes: "Young master, do you know the whereabouts of my highness?"
?”
"Yeah, I know." Ning Xizui answered simply, glanced at Su Buqi, amusement flashed across his face, "But your Highness doesn't know about my relationship with Buqi. You should have discovered it by now, no.
Qihe, the confidant of the Fifth Prince, is really a real brother. If your stingy Highness finds out, he will have to drag me into trouble. In order to protect my identity from being exposed, I can only... I will do it to you.
What, you should know?"
Su Yan's face turned pale and she subconsciously retreated behind Su Buqi.
Although she is not as clear about the power struggle between various factions as Bai Qige is, she can still see the relationship between the fifth prince and Yi Chenjing, where the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As the fifth prince's subordinate, Su Jinyan kills mysteriously and without blinking an eye, and is full of evil.
It makes people feel cold all over. Is it possible that Su Jinyan’s brother Su Buqi and the people Su Buqi works for are also enemies of Yi Chenjing? If so...could it be said that this person is hiding in Yi Chenjing?
The bad guy around Chen Jing?!
But... I always feel that Su Buqi is not a bad person.
"I just ask the young master to tell me whether His Highness is really still alive. If he is alive, are he with Sister Qi Ge? Are they living well?" Su Yan mustered up the courage to raise her head, her soft voice trembling.
Ning Xizui nodded, holding her chin and tilting her head slightly, tapping the folding fan on the top of her head, and her last voice was deliberately long: "Have you finished asking the questions? Then..."
Suyan closed her eyes, straightened her back and raised her head in resignation.
Concubine Jing was taken away by Su Jinyan, which was unlucky. Yi Chenjing messed up the task assigned to her, and she really had no face to see him again. If she hadn't been worried about the lives of Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige, she would have chosen to hit her head on a stone and die, and now since
Knowing that those two people are alive and well means that they are no longer concerned about each other. The man in front of her with unknown good and evil wants her life, so it is useless to keep her alive anyway, leaving only guilt and self-blame.
Will it hurt if the knife blade cuts my throat? In the past, if I accidentally scratched some flesh, it would hurt to the bone marrow. Compared with the death that is about to come, it is nothing to mention.
Suyan stood in front of the door of despair, thinking wildly. It took her a while to realize that something was wrong, and she didn't feel anyone hurting her. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw the mysterious man with green eyes looking sideways.
His head laughed silently, making his whole body tremble.
What kind of situation is this? She looked at Su Buqi in confusion, and the latter looked back at her, still helpless and helpless.
"Stop bullying her."
"I'm sorry, I just made a joke on a whim." Ning Xizui coughed twice and smiled brightly, "Girl, don't be angry, I just couldn't smile for a long time and wanted to make him happy. It's a pity that this guy can't laugh naturally.
You have made the girl afraid for nothing." Turning his teasing eyes to Su Buqi, Ning Xizui sighed deliberately: "I am a wicked person, so I will bully a kind girl, but you know how to show mercy and cherish the jade."
Su Buqi glanced at him and didn't bother to refute him. He looked forward and frowned slightly: "Can't make it to Molian Mountain tonight?"
"I can't make it even if I'm exhausted." Ning Xizui understood what Su Buqi meant and pointed back to the carriage compartment, "Don't worry about me sleeping in the carriage every day. You two can sleep in the carriage tonight. Occasionally
I also have to show off in front of beautiful women."
He just brought someone along the way and was teased like this. How could he sleep in the same car again and not be laughed at for the rest of his life? Su Buqi remained unmoved and said with an expressionless face: "I'll drive."
Ning Xizui suddenly put on a serious look and shook her head firmly: "That's not possible. I like Miss Bai. How can I sleep with other women?"
In Qiaojiazhai, a loud sneeze came from the neatly tidied hut.
"Why, you caught the wind and cold?" Yi Chenjing raised her eyebrows.
"Maybe I'm not used to the smell here, and I don't know how long it's been since anyone lived here." Bai Qige rubbed her nose, raised her fist and hit her shoulder, "But it's better than sleeping in the open air. I would rather sneeze a hundred times than eat dry food again."
, sleeping in the wilderness.”
In order to avoid encountering a large number of enemy sieges, most of the way from Xichu, we followed the mountain trails. When the weather was good, we could stay at farmhouses and eat hot meals. More often, we used the sky as our bed and the ground as our bed, eating dry food and drinking stream water.
, it really made everyone miserable. In fact, Bai Qige was pretty good. At least she had a lot of similar experiences as a special forces soldier. The person who suffered the most was Ye Huawan. She couldn't be said to be pampered, but she was raised in the palm of her hand. In this way
The hard work made the owner of Yiye Mountain Villa lose a lot of weight, which made Bai Qige and Qiao Qingxu feel heartbroken.
Taking off her coat and lying on the bed, Bai Qige hugged the quilt and was too lazy to move. She greedily enjoyed the dry and clean feeling. She closed her eyes but did not forget about the business: "Sister Qiao sent people from the village to ask for help. Tomorrow at the latest
We can gather together in the afternoon, and if we are lucky, we can continue on the road tomorrow. After dinner, the county warden sent more than ten good horses and six carriages. The efficiency of the work is far higher than that of the Palace Internal Affairs Office. If you can make everyone
If we all handle things at this speed, the things we need to worry about will be reduced by half.”
"I didn't expect that the local county governor was so cowardly that he was suppressed by bandits everywhere. Isn't there a royal land in the whole world, but here there is no emperor? Just thinking about it makes me angry."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yi Chenjing's words, Bai Qige turned sideways: "One mouthful is a bandit, you have said this no less than ten times this afternoon. You only think about the royal majesty being discredited, but you have never thought about why the people support Qiao Qiao so much."
Jiazhai?"
Yi Chenjing knew that he was being unreasonable, so he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, turned over and lay down face to face with Bai Qige.
"Tell me about it, Commander Bai."
After punching Wen Re on the chest gently but not hard, Bai Qige rolled her eyes: "Do you think I know everything? This is my first time in Lingxi County. You, the prince of the distant country, don't know anything about it. I know something."
What? I’m asking you to let you think, not to ask you to open your mouth and ask me, otherwise what’s the use of your head?”
"What else do you need your brain for?"
Bai Qige glared: "How come I didn't realize you were so crooked before?"
Yi Chenjing did not comment, snatched the quilt from Bai Qige's arms, and closed her eyes with a contented look.
"I'm not forced by you - I want to see you smile, instead of always frowning and thinking hard."
On the arduous and dangerous road, her smile can offset all the fatigue. No matter how violent the wind, the storm, the waves, the sharp sword, the conspiracy, it is the infinite power she gives that keeps cutting, as if there is no cure.
