In the cold winter, withered branches and grass all over the mountains and fields, a young woman covered in white gauze and holding a donkey in her hands on a secluded mountain road in the cold wind, walked slowly down the mountain.
Without too many stops or explanations, and without even informing Xueshui Lianyue, she quietly left Tianchi Mountain at dawn. Of course, Ziyun's help was indispensable.
The road to Tianchi Mountain is far away and has endless peaks. It takes a lot of time to go out. Fortunately, I passed a few farmers and bought a donkey from them to help me go down the mountain.
It's just that this donkey is not as good as a horse. It is very lazy and walks for a while before stopping to rest. Originally, she didn't bring much food from Tianchi Mountain. Now she has to share a portion to feed the donkey. She also bought some bran from the farmer, but she thought it was too much. I took a little bit with me, but I didn’t expect that the bran would have been eaten by the donkey before we had gone very far.
Looking down at the bottom of the mountain, she couldn't see anything through the water. Lianyue couldn't help but sigh and glare at the donkey beside her. If it were in the past, she would have killed the donkey and made it into dried donkey meat for food.[
The donkey seemed to feel the owner's displeasure and blinked his eyes in a guilty manner, as if to say, "What does it have to do with me? It's because you think you are a burden."
After finally descending the mountain, I finally saw the hope that at the foot of the mountain it was no longer another mountain but a road leading to the official road. However, Shui Lianyue looked at this road but hesitated. It seemed that she had been dead for too long. Now she knew nothing about the outside world and did not know this place. Wherever it leads, I don’t know if Nangong Ling is still looking for her.
To be on the safe side, she decided to take a detour
The cold winter night was so cold that the wind kept blowing towards Shui Lian Yue, making the white gauze on her face flutter and feel like it was drifting away at any time. The donkey underneath her seemed to be unable to stand the cold and walked even slower against the wind.
"If you don't want to make donkey meat jerky, just hurry up and leave." A voice colder than the cold wind floated in the air. The donkey seemed to understand the owner's words and shook its head with a fighting posture and four hooves. The speed of rubbing against the ground is much faster than before.
In the silent night, the sound of donkey hooves echoed. Suddenly, Shui Lianyue tightened the reins, and her phoenix eyes stared at the woods not far away. Only a few red figures flashed like ghosts, and a scream pierced the sky. Then there was the sound of swords clashing
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly but relaxed her brows in an instant. She pulled the reins and drove the donkey forward.
Now her status is not suitable for meddling in other people's business, so when she walked past the fighting crowd, she just ignored them.
Unexpectedly, God failed, and in the shadow of the sword, a long sword stabbed at her with the cold wind.
"Ding" A white light flashed from Shui Lianyue's sleeve and the long sword pierced the ground.
Shui Lianyue lightly glanced at the crowd who were still fighting fiercely, pulled the reins and continued to move forward.
"Princess Wang!" At this moment, a voice burst out from the crowd. Shui Lianyue frowned but did not pull the reins and still moved forward.
How could she not know the owner of that voice? But so what? The life and death of Nangong Yu's subordinates had nothing to do with her. She had saved him. It was inevitable that the swords would be facing each other in the future, so why should she bother with it?
"princess"
The green hair caught the attention of the man in red. A pair of narrow eyes looked at the figure sitting on the donkey, half-smiling but not smiling. It was extremely weird.
"I didn't expect you to be alive, haha." A charming voice suddenly sounded from behind Shui Lianyue. In an instant, a red figure flashed past and stood in front of Shui Lianyue.
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and the corners of her mouth twitched. She didn't expect that the person who intercepted and killed Qing Niao would be Leng Liuyun.
The red gauze dress fluttered with the cold wind, and the evil face looked like a demon against the backdrop of the night, not affected by the cold weather at all.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Master Leng. It's really puzzling to see Gao Zai personally come to intercept and kill a rat in such a cold weather. He's not in your demon sect."[
Shui Lianyue did not hide her identity at all. She still knew very well about Leng Liuyun's character. Excessive concealment was of no use to him and only made her feel guilty.
Some ridiculing words made Leng Liuyun curl up with a charming smile. He flicked his sleeves and slowly came to Shui Lianyue's side. His fingertips lightly caused the white gauze covering Shui Lianyue's face to float away in the wind, revealing that face. The most beautiful face
"I haven't seen you in half a year, you are better than before." The narrow eyes looked at Shui Lianyue with a hint of ambiguity, which made her feel sick and disgusted.
"Compared with the Great Hierarch Leng, it's quite a bit worse."
"Ah"
Among the fighting crowd, Qing Niao obviously couldn't withstand the multiple stab wounds on his body, but he still waved the broken iron fan in his hand to resist.
Shui Lianyue glanced at the crowd and looked calmly at Leng Liuyun beside her, saying softly: "I want to save him."
"Why?" Leng Liuyun seemed to have already expected that Shui Lianyue would save Qingniao and asked with a slight smile.
"There is a reason"
"What if I say no?"
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, and the indifference in her eyes instantly disappeared, leaving a hint of chill in her eyes. "Leng Liuyun, you know I will never take back what I said."
Hearing this, Leng Liuyun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Qing Niao in the crowd, who was about to be overwhelmed. His voice was a bit colder, "Nangong Yu's subordinates are also worthy of you. As far as I know, you are not willing to marry King Yu. Why?" Now it has changed. Could it be that you are tempted?"
"He was kind to me once and I should repay him this time." Although Shui Lianyue hid it very well, Leng Liuyun still caught the flash of strange color in her phoenix eyes.
He stopped talking. A flash of violence flashed in the green and narrow Danfeng eyes in the crowd, and then he waved towards the crowd, only to see the crowd disappear in an instant. He looked back at Shui Lianyue, and there was more in her charming voice. A few sharp words: "For once, you owe me this right."
Looking at the direction where Leng Liuyun disappeared, Shui Lianyue's face darkened. Originally, she had no intention of saving Qing Niao, but Qing Niao was quite polite to her in Prince Yu's Mansion and even helped her once. She doesn't like to owe favors. Feel
It’s just that she didn’t want Leng Liuyun to let go, but to save herself. In the end, it turned out that she owed Leng Liuyun another favor.
"Thank you, Princess, for the rescue." Qing Niao endured the pain of the wound and knelt down on the ground beside Shui Lianyue and said respectfully.
Shui Lianyue retracted her thoughts and looked at Qing Niao with cold eyes and said sharply: "I am no longer the princess who saved you, but I can only repay your kindness that time. I will not show any mercy when we meet again in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the reins and didn't give Qing Niao a chance to speak. The donkey seemed to understand its master's intention and walked forward slowly despite the wind.
