Han Qiancheng interrupted her with a somewhat unhappy tone: "Is it so unclear how I feel about you?"
Yan Ruoling was stunned again. She looked at Han Qiancheng blankly, feeling a little panicked.
Han Qiancheng held her hand and said: "When I was desperate, you came down from the sky to save me and gave me a way to live. I fell in love with you at that time.
But I know my identity. If I were the son of the Prime Minister before, I would propose marriage to you without any hesitation. Even if our Han Yan family has always been at odds, it can't stop me.
But now I'm just a fugitive, being hunted by your brother. I can't even stand upright in the sun, let alone marry you?
But Ling'er, I will work hard, and I am willing to give it a go just for you, so can you wait for me?"
With tears in Yan Ruoling's eyes, she nodded fiercely and said, "I'll wait for you, no matter how long I will wait for you."
Han Qiancheng smiled slightly, reached out and touched her head and said, "Don't be so stupid again. Do you know how much my heart hurts?"
Yan Ruoling sniffed and said, "But if you don't do this, you will be suspected. I don't want you to be in any danger."
She smiled at Han Qiancheng and said, "Brother Han, my face doesn't hurt. It really doesn't hurt at all."
After hearing these words, Han Qiancheng could no longer control himself. He reached out and hugged her into his arms. He didn't speak for a long time. The two of them just hugged each other quietly. The silence was worth a thousand words.
...
The next day.
Xiao Chengyi and Mu Yun'an drove for a day and a night, ran several horses, and finally arrived in Qingyuan County at noon.
Jiang Ru was waiting at the inn. When she saw them coming, she rushed to greet them and called: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengyi was tired, he walked over quickly and asked: "What's going on?"
Jiang Ru told what happened, and at the end she added: "That Master Qianji probably didn't know my identity, so he didn't take me away. Later, a bandit came back and wanted to do something wrong to me.
captured.
I learned some things about Qingfeng Village from his mouth, but I was worried about Chu Chu and Princess Qinghe, so I hypnotized the man and asked him to go back to protect Chu Chu and Princess Qinghe."
Xiao Chengyi said: "You did the right thing. If you keep that person, you will only alert the enemy."
Jiang Rudao: "I have heard that the terrain of Black Tiger Mountain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and they have captured three of us hostages. If we attack by force, we may not be able to get any favors."
Xiao Chengyi naturally knew that a forceful attack was impossible, and the top priority now was to rescue Ye Xiuchen and the others, as well as find out the identity of Mr. Qianji.
He sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and asked, "You said all the marriage team were poisoned?"
Jiang Ru nodded: "Except for me, the reason why I didn't get infected is because I drank the blood of the Gu King, but the marriage team was all poisoned.
I thought this was strange, and then I thought about it carefully. Before the poisoning, Ye Xiuchen and I had only drank water from the water bag.
After the guards woke up, I asked them again and they all drank the water in the water bags, so I kept the water bags."
Because the wedding team has to escort the dowry and all of them are on foot, the demand for water is relatively high, so the guards will carry a water bag on their backs.
Jiang Ru took a water bag and handed it to Xiao Chengyi and said: "The water in it is the water we drank yesterday, but it hasn't been checked yet."
