Chapter 584: Witnesses Found
It rained all night, and the next morning it was indeed a sunny day, and the sun shone in from outside the cave, making the cave warm.
Baoqing slowly opened his eyes and found that there was a naked flesh in front of him, and before he remembered what happened, he suddenly pushed away the body in front of him and sat up.
Xuanyuan Jue, who was asleep, was pushed hard and woke up immediately, opened his eyes and saw Baoqing, who had already sat up, and did not notice that the expression on her face was wrong, and immediately asked with concern: "How is your body, do you still have a fever?" Xuanyuan Jue wanted to reach out to explore the temperature of Baoqing's forehead, but Baoqing avoided it.
"I, we-" As soon as Bao Qing saw Xuanyuan Jue's naked upper body, he immediately opened his eyes shyly, stammering and not knowing how to speak.
Seeing Baoqing's uncomfortable appearance, the inexplicable Xuanyuan Jue glanced down, only to find that he was disheveled, and immediately took the clothes on the side in a panic and put them on.
Worried that Baoqing would misunderstand himself and take advantage of others, Xuanyuan Jue immediately explained eagerly: "You suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night last night, and kept shouting cold, I didn't know what to do, so I had to hold you and want to warm you, I didn't mean to take advantage of you, I really just wanted to warm you up, and I didn't have other bad thoughts." ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Jue's panicked appearance, it was not at all like the calm and calm appearance she usually saw, Baoqing also slowly calmed down, and slowly remembered the events of last night, she remembered that she felt very cold after sleeping in wet clothes, but then she felt like she was hugging a stove in her daze, so that she no longer felt cold.
"The Eighth Prince!" Baoqing opened his mouth and shouted, so that Xuanyuan Jue was no longer a little flustered, "I didn't blame you, but thank you for helping me." ”
Baoqing's words made Xuanyuan Jue breathe a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Baoqing would misunderstand him and hate him.
"Thank you for not having to, but I'm relieved to see that you're looking much better now than you were last night. I was very worried about the way I looked at you last night, you don't have a fever now, is there anything uncomfortable in your body, is the wound from the snake bite last night still painful? Xuanyuan Jue said all the words of concern in one breath.
Seeing Xuanyuan Jue, who was different from usual, Xuanyuan Jue at this time still had his usual calmness, but he was so eager and flustered that he made Baoqing feel kinder, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm all fine, I don't have a fever, and I don't have any discomfort in my body." ”
Xuanyuan Jue was fascinated by Baoqing's smile that he couldn't help but smile, and he had the impression that this should be the first time he saw Baoqing's smile, and couldn't help blurting out: "You look very beautiful when you laugh." ”
Xuanyuan Jue's words made Baoqing's expression stunned, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he looked at Xuanyuan Jue with some embarrassment, and Baoqing, who was already silent, didn't know how to speak at this time.
Xuanyuan Jue, who found that he was abrupt, was also secretly annoyed in his heart, worried about leaving a bad impression on Baoqing, but he still pretended to be casual and said: "Since it's okay, we will continue to hurry, now that the sky is already bright, I hope we can get out of this mountain today." ”
"Good!" Baoqing nodded and stood up, and walked out of the cave, the sunlight outside was a little dazzling, so she subconsciously blocked the sunlight with her hands, such a casual action was also very beautiful in Xuanyuan Jue's eyes.
Because they spent the night in the cave, there was an unspoken embarrassment between the two of them at this time, so the two of them rarely talked along the way, and just walked quietly.
After walking for most of the day, the two of them gradually felt a little tired, and when they were about to find a place to rest, suddenly Baoqing saw smoke rising in the distance, and immediately said to Xuanyuan Jue excitedly: "Eighth prince, look, there is smoke in front, there is smoke in the mountains, and there must be people living there." ”
Xuanyuan Jue also saw the smoke curling in the distance, and also looked at Baoqing happily and said, "Since there is someone ahead, then let's hurry over." ”
Forgetting their tiredness and rest, they quickened their pace, and finally walked down the hill at noon, not far from the hill was a small village, and although the people in the village looked poor, they all had kind faces, which made people feel very kind.
Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing walked into the village, intending to find someone to understand the situation, and suddenly a man limped in front of the two, originally such a person would not attract the attention of the two, but Xuanyuan Jue inadvertently saw the man walk into a room, and the quilt hanging outside the house was very familiar.
"Eighth Master, what's wrong?" Baoqing noticed that Xuanyuan Jue's expression was a little wrong, and asked with some puzzlement.
"Look at the quilt." Xuanyuan Jue's gaze always stopped on the quilt, "Don't you think that quilt is familiar?" ”
Following Xuanyuan Jue's gaze, Baoqing also saw the quilt, and only felt that it was a very ordinary quilt, and there was nothing special about it, so he asked even more curiously: "Has the eighth master seen the quilt?" ”
Xuanyuan Jue nodded, and said with a serious expression: "That kind of quilt is a quilt for soldiers in the barracks, I saw that kind of quilt when I was in charge of the supply of daily necessities for soldiers in the barracks a few years ago. ”
"So you're skeptical." Baoqing's expression also became solemn, and he looked at the quilt again.
"How can anything from a barracks be found in this small, backwooded village, unless someone here has ever been a soldier." Xuanyuan Jue said guessingly, looking at the closed door of the house, Xuanyuan Jue said coldly: "Let's go to that house and ask." ”
"Anyone? Excuse me, anyone? Baoqing shouted twice at the door, and saw the man limping out just now.
"Who are you and what is the matter?" The man saw that Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing were outsiders, and asked a little defensively.
"May I ask if this is Zhao Jun's house?" Xuanyuan Jue asked expressionlessly.
"Who are you?" The man did not answer Xuanyuan Jue's words, but looked at the two of them more cautiously.
"We're here to find Zhao Jun, you're Zhao Jun, right?" Seeing the man's reaction, Xuanyuan Jue knew that he had guessed correctly, so he walked a few steps towards the courtyard and said, "Let's go in and say something." ”
The man named Zhao Jun was shocked by Xuanyuan Jue's momentum, and involuntarily gave way to let Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing walk in, and by the time they reacted, the two had already sat down in his house.
"Who are you? What's the matter with coming here to find me? Zhao Jun sat down opposite the two and said in an unkind tone.
"Do you know Murong Xijie?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at Zhao Jun and asked calmly.
Hearing Murong Xijie's name, Zhao Jun's whole body trembled, but he quickly calmed down and pretended not to know: "What Murong Xijie, I don't know this person at all, I don't know you, you leave for me." ”
All of Zhao Jun's reactions didn't miss Xuanyuan Jue's eyes, he calmly looked at the flickering and panic in Zhao Jun's eyes and said, "Murong Xijie is now locked up in prison because of you, and now the only person who can save him is you." ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Jue say this, Zhao Jun looked at him in shock, and asked with some disbelief: "How could Vice General Murong be locked up in prison because of me?" ”
"Someone framed the people of Murong Mansion, and the second son of Murong was framed for misusing military law, and the only person who received military law was you, so only if you tell the truth can you mention him to clear his name." Baoqing said excitedly.
Although he saw that Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing didn't want to be a bad comer, Zhao Jun still looked at the two of them suspiciously, and listened to the words of the two half-truths.
"We don't have to lie to you." Xuanyuan Jue also saw the suspicion in Zhao Jun's eyes, and said frankly: "I am Xuanyuan Jue, the eighth prince of Beiming Kingdom, and this girl next to me is the maid of the Nine Emperor Princesses of Beiming Kingdom/Baoqing girl, you should also have heard that the Nine Emperor Princesses are the daughter of Murong Mansion, and now not only Murong Mansion has an accident, but even the Nine Emperor Princes have an accident, so we came out to look for you for them, I hope you can go back to Beijing with us and clarify the truth of the matter for the third prince of Murong in the main hall." ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Jue's sincere appearance, Zhao Jun slowly believed his words, stood up and said righteously: "My life was given by Vice General Murong, he has something to do today, I can't sit idly by, let alone ask me to wash away his grievances in the main hall, even if my life is exchanged for him, I am willing." Eighth Prince, Baoqing girl, I will go back with you now. ”
"Thank you." Hearing Zhao Jun's promise, Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other happily.
The three should not be delayed and immediately rushed back to Beijing. This time, the three of them did not go from the mountain road, and in order to hurry up, the three decided to ride back from the main road.
Not far from the village, when passing through a wood, Baoqing suddenly grabbed the horse and prevented the others from leaving.
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Jue asked puzzled.
"Murderous!" Baoqing looked around with a serious face, although it was all big trees, but with Baoqing's intuition and induction, there were at least ten people lying in ambush around.
Hearing Baoqing say this, Xuanyuan Jue cautiously looked at the surrounding environment, but he never found anything unusual.
"Eighth Prince, you protect Zhao Jun." Before Xuanyuan Jue could react, Baoqing had already jumped off the horse's back and stood in front of the horse, and ten black-clothed people appeared opposite Baoqing.
"Leave people behind, and you will not die." One of the black-clothed men said in a low voice and pointed a sword at Zhao Jun.
"Dreaming." As soon as the words fell, Baoqing pulled out his long sword from the scabbard and immediately rushed towards those black-clothed people.
"Eight, the eighth prince!" Zhao Jun looked at the situation in front of him and looked at Xuanyuan Jue in fear.
