292. Unattainable (1)
When he came back to his senses, Gao Ran found that two horses had already been prepared outside the back door.
And Ji Muqing couldn't help but turn over and ride one of them. When Gao Ran saw it, he had no choice but to walk to another horse and prepare to ride it.
But he didn't think about it, just walked up to the horse and was about to ride, but was stopped by the "subordinate" who was always holding the reins of the horse.
Before Gao Ran could ask the reason, the "subordinate" had already taken the initiative to explain to her: "Please forgive me, little boy, this horse is recognized as an exclusive mount under it, and it cannot be borrowed from others!"
He said it politely, but in a resolute tone. Moreover, he dared to call himself "subordinate" rather than "subordinate" or "villain" in front of Ji Muqing...... It seems that he must be Ji Muqing's cronies! And he is not an ordinary cronie!"
——Thinking of this, Gao Ran naturally returned to Ji Muqing's side with interest, and then looked at him with a resentful expression and asked, "You did it on purpose, right?"
Ji Muqing only smiled silently, but still leaned over and stretched out his hand to her, signaling her to use his power to get on the horse and sit behind him.
"Can't you just prepare a horse for me?"
"We must not be too conspicuous when we go out of the city!
"But two men riding together, it's also very eye-catching!" Gao Ran immediately retorted unconvinced.
At this moment, she really misses her Mi'er very much! If it weren't for the fact that her way out of the valley was "hijacked" by Ye Yu to leave, and it was inconvenient for her to expose her whereabouts, and because Mi'er herself was fed a lot of poisons unique to the Medical Valley by her and Zhao Feng one after another, making it easier for her to be found by the people of the Medical Valley using messengers or holy relics than ordinary horses, she had to leave her in the Medical Valley and let Zhao Yi take care of it......
But even if she is not a child, Gao Ran is confident that she can overcome the original psychological barrier and control other horses normally - as long as she is not too strong!
"How old are you, dare to call yourself a 'man'? Wait for the 'crown ceremony', come and argue with me again!" Ji Muqing deliberately said these words loudly, obviously deliberately to his entourage Amu. He didn't want him to know Gao Ran's true identity - at least not yet!
After that, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked Gao Ran: "Or do you think it is more appropriate for men and women to ride together than for two men to ride together?"
"You!"
How could Gao Ran not hear that Ji Muqing was clearly refusing to buy her another horse alone, she could only choose to ride with him!
But anger is anger, Gao Ran can see it clearly at this moment: he obviously didn't care about her threats to Ji Muqing in the room before! He didn't seem to be afraid of her revenge in the future, but he also knowingly annoyed her again and again!
"He's clearly doing it on purpose! What 'don't you want to attract attention'? It's clearly nonsense!"
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he even wanted to directly use some "little poison" on Ji Muqing to punish him a little! But then Gao Ran thought of the temptation he had made to himself before, and he couldn't help but hesitate......
After thinking about it, he decided to suppress the anger in his heart for the time being, thinking that this was not the right time to let him know that she was not really completely incapable of self-protection!
It would be more beneficial for her to let him take it lightly—— not to mention, she didn't know if Zhao Feng really hid in the shadows to protect her according to her previous instructions? She just deliberately misled Ji Muqing and made him mistakenly think that the truth was like this!
After thinking about his real situation at the moment, Gao Ran stopped talking to him too much, reached out and grabbed Ji Muqing's hand, and then jumped behind him with his strength, and hugged his waist very reluctantly, but helplessly. After all, she didn't want to risk her life, even if she was reluctant!
"Let's go! I don't have much time to spend with you! I guess you can't deal with me too much, right?
"I'm a person who likes to go straight, so I might as well say the ugly thing in front of me as soon as possible: since you choose to gamble, then don't hesitate too much! Don't forget! You're not the only one who takes risks! I choose you, and it's also very risky!
"But you can also see, I have come to you in person! If you don't even have the guts, then I don't want to bother with you anymore—— after all, my purpose is nothing more than to find a 'suitable' helper to help me eradicate Gao Liwen's power in Banana Country, so as to save myself some of the worries that I will encounter sooner or later in the future!"
"So, even if it's not you, you know that I have other options!
"I advise you, it's best to make up your mind before I change my mind! Don't wander left and right anymore! Otherwise, I will abandon you before you!"
After speaking, Gao Ran deliberately pulled Ji Muqing's clothes hard, signaling him to hurry up and set off, and stop thinking about continuing to play tricks with her and delay time in vain!
Ji Muqing didn't answer, but after Gao Ran dragged him hard, he really drove his horse off without saying a word! Moreover, he was still moving forward at the fastest speed that his horse could run.
And Amu, who was suddenly thrown off by them, saw this, and knew that Ji Muqing had obviously made his own decision!
Although Amu didn't know the details of the "little boy" who suddenly appeared for the time being, seeing the interaction between the two, he knew that this "little boy" must not be an ordinary "guest"! Even, Ji Muqing seemed to be a little restricted by "him"!
Although Amu didn't know the reason for this, even if he only knew Ji Muqing, it was not difficult for him to think that Ji Muqing obviously had a request from Gao Ran, and what he wanted was obviously only Gao Ran could do it! Otherwise, Ji Muqing would not be like this!
However, Amu didn't have time to think about it, but he intuitively judged the possible relationship between the two people at the moment in an instant, and then quickly rode his horse to catch up with them.
At the same time, he also slightly adjusted his previous impression of the "little boy", knowing that even if "he" looked young, it was definitely not something he could take lightly and treat lightly—— whether it was to avoid causing unnecessary troubles to himself, or to avoid hindering Ji Muqing's purpose, he had to do so!
After readjusting his mentality, Amu knew that he could no longer treat that "little boy" as he did before, but he would not only be polite on the surface, but not take "him" in his heart!
——
Because the speed of coming this time was much faster than the last time, before it was dark, their group had already arrived at the destination of this trip, a courtyard in Ji Muqing's outskirts of the city.
After getting off the horse, Ji Muqing didn't say a word, and led Gao Ran directly to the small courtyard where Dong Tianyi was. And Amu consciously stayed behind to take the horses to the backyard for them to settle down, and then went to clean up a small courtyard for Gao Ran - and without Ji Muqing's special explanation, he had already taken the initiative to choose the small courtyard adjacent to the main courtyard for Gao Ran.
On the other side, Gao Ran followed Ji Muqing all the way to the small courtyard where Dong Tianyi was. But as soon as they walked near the small courtyard, Gao Ran happened to hear the sound of the piano from the courtyard that she was familiar with and felt that she had not seen for a long time......
Gao Ran stopped at once!
"What's wrong?"
After Ji Muqing walked out of a distance, she realized that Gao Ran behind her had not followed, so she turned around to look, only to find that she suddenly stood still in surprise for some reason, motionless!
But Gao Ran did not answer Ji Muqing's inquiry, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately walked straight to the small courtyard without saying hello, and went directly into the courtyard without saying hello!
Ji Muqing was stunned at first, he didn't expect Gao Ran to be so rude! Not only did he trespass into his bedroom and occupy his bed before, but now he even broke into the guest's courtyard directly - he didn't even greet him politely!
But then, he felt that Gao Ran didn't really look like a reckless person who didn't know how to be polite: she had clearly done it intentionally for her previous trespassing! Moreover, his appearance this morning seemed to be unexpected for her...... She didn't seem to really want to meet him like that......
And he had to admit that her improvisation at that time really impressed her, and he was indeed more inclined to believe in her sincerity......
But this is different......! It was impossible for her not to understand what was at stake for her!So, it was clearly in her better interest to choose to observe the most basic etiquette at first sight than trespass—— she could not have understood this!
But that's not how she did!
And with the same abnormal reaction she had before......
After Ji Muqing thought about it all over again, it suddenly dawned on her: Gao Ran must have known Dong Tianyi! And there must be some kind of relationship between them! Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this!
Thinking of this, Ji Muqing suddenly felt an indescribable sense of urgency, as if he was threatened by something...... Such an instinct puzzled him.
He only knew that at this moment, he just wanted to catch up with Gao Ran and appear in front of Dong Tianyi almost at the same time as her!
Even though he couldn't tell why, he just didn't want them to have any chance to be alone! It would make him feel an inexplicable threat!
