Ten days later.

This team, which had been stationed in Tuwu Fort for more than half a year, was ready to set off for the mighty Xiqi.

From Xihe to Xiqi, it is not close, it is about ten days away.

This decision was made, in addition to forming an alliance with Saiki and hugging his thighs, there was also a hidden reason.

Xia Gui demolished the northern base of the ghost marquis, although Mi Xuefu promised to give Xia Gui freedom and the destruction of the northern base was also written off, but what if she didn't want to? What's more, Xia returned the divine blood that robbed the northern base, and this beam is not small, in case the ghost marquis is really angry, he really can't eat and walk around.

Therefore, Xia Gui decided to slip away. Take the 20,000 army and slip away, first go to Xiqi to hide and then talk.

"Your Highness, it will take about twelve days to set off today and arrive in Xiqi. Waddin made a debrief.

"Does Elder Jiang know?" Xia Gui asked.

Wodin said: "Elder Jiang has already replied, saying that he is waiting for His Highness at any time. ”

Click, click.

The army of 20,000 marched rapidly on the loess avenue where smoke and dust were flying.

Three carriages, in the middle of the procession, were pulled by eight large horses, galloping rapidly.

In the middle of this team was the carriage where Xia Gui and several other generals were located.

The army left the Fog Castle and began a new journey again......

The procession traveled about thirty miles, but came to an inexplicable stop.

"Your Highness!" Wang Ersan rode his horse and ran over.

Xia Gui stopped and lifted the curtain of the carriage, "What's the matter?"

Wang Ersan said: "There is a woman in front of her, saying that she wants to see Her Highness." ”

"Woman?" Xia Gui was stunned.

I haven't seen any women in this West River, who is it?

"I'll take a look. Xia Guidao.

......

The loess was rolling, countless sand and dust were raised in front of them, and the soldiers walked as tall as pine, and the momentum was like thunder.

The maiden stood on the side of the army of twenty thousand, and saw the well-trained procession passing by her quickly.

Her slender and delicate body, wrapped in a thick coat, could still be seen to be shivering.

Each of these soldiers stared at her with wolf-like eyes, as if they were going to devour her. Like a poor fawn, she had fallen into the trap of the enemy, and looked timidly at the smoke-filled procession.

"Spread out, Your Highness is down!" came the voice of a soldier from behind.

I saw the team spread out to both sides, and Xia Gui rode a tall horse and slowly walked out of the middle of the team.

When the horse came to the girl, it stopped of its own accord. Xia Gui, who was sitting on the horse, stared at the girl, and suddenly showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

It's her?

In Xia Gui's mind, a figure soon appeared.

It was a young girl I had seen in the northern base.

She has timid eyes like a fawn, even in the dark secret room, Xia Gui is unforgettable for those clear and beautiful eyes.

"Is that you?" Xia Gui hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Big ...... No, Your Highness. When the girl saw Xia Gui, she bowed timidly, her cheeks wrapped in thick cloth, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"You escaped?" Xia Gui asked. Jiujiu Library

The girl nodded, "On that day, His Highness destroyed the cave, and I escaped with them. After leaving Jiuhou Villa, I didn't know where to go, and I was told that Your Highness, you were coming south, and I chased after you. ”

The girl looked down and looked at her feet.

She was not a cultivator, and she couldn't ride a horse, and she had to drive out these hundreds of miles day and night with her feet. The straw sandals under her feet had long been worn out, and the girl's tender feet stepped on the ground, and soon the skin was worn out and blood blistered, but she still endured the pain and chased after the team.

Looking at the bloodstains on the girl's feet, Xia Gui felt slightly suffocated in his heart, this is really a poor girl......

"Cao Ming, get her a pair of shoes. Xia Gui shouted.

Cao Ming stood up, "Your Highness, our barracks are full of old men, men's shoes, I'm afraid she won't be able to wear them." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it barefoot......" The girl looked at Xia Gui timidly.

Xia Gui sighed and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to give you, I'll prepare some dry food and silver taels later, and then find someone to escort you away." ”

The girl took a light breath, her eyes showed a look of grievance and loss, and she whispered, "Your Highness, are you going to drive me away?"

Listening to the slightly choked voice, Xia Gui was stunned and looked at the girl.

But seeing that the girl's eyes were covered with a faint mist, she looked like she wanted to cry.

"I just escaped from Jiuhou Villa, and I really have nowhere to go. Your Highness, I have no father or mother, and I really don't want to be sold into a slave or a maid in the villa anymore, so I beg Your Highness to accept me. The girl pleaded.

The girl's voice is very tactful, and in this tactfulness, there is a gentleness that a man can hardly resist.

Even the soldiers behind him couldn't help but clench their fists, and the man's innate desire to protect rose from the depths of the soldiers' hearts.

Xia Gui touched his forehead with a headache, such a voice, such a demeanor, it was really difficult to refuse.

Xia Gui said helplessly: "I am the Sixth Highness of the Southern Wilderness Country, and you already know it. ”

"I know. The girl nodded.

"This time we went to Xiqi to have something to do. Xia Gui said again.

"I know that too. The girl nodded.

"But you, a girl, are not very convenient to follow our team after all...... And we men will inevitably fight and kill, which is really not safe. Xia Gui said.

Bei Fang, who was hiding behind the thick cloth, gently bit her lower lip like peach petals, the girl lowered her head, and her voice was inaudible, "But in this wilderness, I don't know where to go......"

Xia Gui looked at the girl and sighed.

He didn't know where this girl could go or how she could make a living.

"There are some villages, far from the hustle and bustle, but ......safer," he said, and finally he pointed to the west, where there was less fighting, and it was a good place for young girls to stay.

Seeing Xia Gui frowning slightly, a burst of sadness swelled up in the girl's heart, and a sad look appeared in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I know." I, I'll go back to Jiuhou Villa. ”

After speaking, she secretly glanced at Xia Gui, then turned her head and walked very resolutely in the direction of the villa.

There were countless blood blisters on the soles of her feet, and she walked with a limp, looking desolate and lonely, like an abandoned lamb.

And the soldiers behind him let out unbearable boos, as if to blame him, His Highness seemed to be a little too unkind.

"Your Highness, take her. Some soldiers couldn't help but whisper advice.

"Yes, Your Highness, the little girl is pitiful. Another soldier said.

"Hey......" Xia Gui frowned slightly, a little unbearable.

People have fled thousands of miles from Jiuhou Villa just to defect to themselves, can't they still drive them away?

He sighed, jumped off his horse, strode after the girl, and shouted, "Forget it, I'll escort you to Xiqi."

"Your Highness, this is really ......" The girl heard Xia Gui's voice, her shoulders were as weak as early spring petals, and she trembled slightly.

She turned her head quickly, and a look of surprise appeared in her big eyes with tears,

Xia Gui smiled: "In front of 20,000 soldiers, how can I lie to a little girl...... Come on, get in the car with me. ”
