Chapter 15: It's better not to see

Previous Chapter

After being silent for a long time, Mu Junning said hoarsely: "Is it him?" ”

"Yes, you were seriously injured at that time, ordinary wound medicine was basically useless, and on the second day I saved you, Xirong suddenly had a secret order, anyone who bought wound medicine must be strictly investigated, at that time you were already dying, fortunately you met Yun Gongzi passing by, and he still had some wound medicine on his body, otherwise ......"

Luo Yuji didn't say anything, but the meaning behind it, Mu Junning understood that her life was saved by Yun Shuhua, so she should thank him for saving his life. It's just that Yun Shuhua didn't appear again for the five days she lay in bed to recuperate, and if it weren't for the occasional long and familiar breathing outside the tent, she would have thought that he had left.

The place where everyone camped was the Gobi Desert closest to Muguo Yunge Pass, flat and endless, with a crooked stream that continued to stretch to the end of the sunset.

Mu Junning's wounds have almost healed, and everyone is ready to leave for Mu Guo, after all, after staying in the wild for a few days, the wolves in the desert smell the umami of human flesh, and they are already ready to move nearby. Luo Yuji arranged for people to keep vigil every day, and bonfires were lit outside the tent all night.

It was late at night, and the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning was exceptionally clear, and the wolf howl came from afar, mixed with the sound of everyone's sleeping snoring, which was not very noticeable. Jun Ning lay on the bed, looking at the bright fire outside the tent, tossing and turning and difficult to sleep, these days, listening to Luo Yuji's words, now the government of Mu State, only the monarch is dominant, the imperial power is hollowed out, and the Emperor Mu has become a puppet at the mercy of others, up to the hundred officials, down to the people know that it is not the emperor Mu Junqing who controls the world, but the prime minister.

She agreed to pretend to be "Luo Yunli", in the final analysis, she is also selfish, the identity of the princess of "Mu Junning", whether she lives or dies, is too eye-catching, it is not as good as the ordinary "Luo Yunli", which is convenient for her to hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity to move.

The desert was windy, and the fire swayed. Although Junning's internal injuries have not healed, he has no problem getting out of bed and walking.

Luo Yuji didn't bring many people, and there were only three tents set up, she lived with Luo Xuefei, in order not to wake up Luo Xuefei, who was sleeping sweetly, Jun Ning didn't wear shoes and socks on her feet, only put on a coat and walked out.

Hearing the sound of someone moving, the night watchman was so frightened that he almost bounced up, and when he saw that it was Mu Junning, he relieved himself, nodded and said hello, and sat back on the branches of the dead trees next to the tent and continued to guard.

The wolves in the desert were afraid of fire, so five fires were set up outside the tent, and the one farthest from the tent was sitting at the moment, and the orange fire shone on him, reflecting warm as summer.

"Isn't Miss Luo still asleep so late?" Hearing the footsteps, the man raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Junning, seeing her walking barefoot on the gravel that she had knocked on, her eyebrows raised in surprise, and she quietly took off her cardigan outside and spread it on the ground.

"I can't sleep, what about Yun Gongzi?" Mu Junning sat on the ground he had flattened with his clothes, and said with a soft smile: "Young Master Yun sits alone late at night, but who are you missing?" Her tone was unexpectedly calm, but her heart had already turned up turbulent, but she covered it up well, and no one saw the clue.

"I ......" Yun Shuhua set his eyes on the fire, the swaying tongue of fire was burning, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were as warm as water, as if he was looking at someone in the light of the fire, "I am really thinking about someone." ”

"But Madame?" Mu Junning was silent for a long time, casually took a wooden branch, and plucked the firewood that could not reach the fire below, her expression was concentrated, but the afterglow at the end of her eyes couldn't help but quickly sweep over his face.

Hearing this, Yun Shuhua was stunned, his expression was a little gloomy, mixed with a trace of forbearance pain, and his eyes suddenly became complicated: "Yes......"

Before he could finish speaking, his left hand suddenly stretched out to catch her, and pulled him into his arms, reflecting the firelight, and his eyes were worried like she had never seen before.

Inexplicably falling into the arms of the old man, smelling the ink fragrance on his body, Mu Junning had a moment of confusion, but when she saw him waving her palm and slapping at the hungry wolf that pounced on them, she immediately sobered up, he didn't recognize her......

I couldn't tell if it was joy or loss, watching Yun Shuhua calmly respond to the attack of the wolves, Mu Junning lay on his chest and didn't dare to raise his head. With such a close distance, for two people who were once familiar with each other, even if they are disguised, they may be able to recognize each other with their breath and eyes......

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the wolves that have been wandering in the desert for a long time finally waited for the opportunity to come out, and the night watchman hurriedly blew the horn, and the melodious sound spread in all directions, and the sleeping Luo Yuji people suddenly woke up from their dreams.

Not only to protect Mu Junning, but also to deal with the wolves, Yun Shuhua's palm wind is still leaky. Suddenly, a burst of warmth came through the cold and thin clothing, he looked down and saw that the original white clothes were actually dyed with scarlet, and the face of the woman in her arms was already pale at this time, but even so, she still bit her lip tightly and did not say a word, and even her breathing was forced, without the slightest shortness. Her eyes met, and she pulled out a pale smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Yun Shuhua was stunned, and the brave man in the wolf pack took this opportunity to pounce, and his sharp teeth bit his wrist fiercely, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

But he didn't have time to react because her eyes were ......

Yun Shuhua's pupils shrank suddenly, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, his lips trembled slightly, and the alienated moisturization in his eyes was swept away, with a thick sense of surprise, he looked at her for a moment, and he didn't even care that his wrist was bitten by a wolf.

Facing him like this, Mu Junning unconsciously felt a burst of fear, afraid that he would see through his disguise, for a while, she was silent, staring at him with wide eyes, trying to make herself appear confused and confused.

Yun Shuhua looked at him quietly, his excitement calmed down, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

"Yun Gongzi......" Mu Junning took a deep breath, her eyes met his gaze openly, she knew that if she avoided it at this time, it would prove that she was weak-hearted.

With a little more effort, a little more, she could fool him......

Yun Shuhua came back to his senses, a trace of different color flashed in his eyes, he glanced at her expressionlessly, and then smiled, as calm as the breeze and the moon, he said lightly: "I've always been at ease." As he spoke, his right hand secretly stored internal force, and with a sudden shock, the hungry wolf who was originally biting on his right wrist suddenly rolled his eyes, shattered his internal organs and bled to death.

The blood stimulated the remaining hungry wolves, and a pair of pupils that glowed with a faint green light in the moonlight shrank sharply, and after raising their heads to the sky and roaring, they pounced on them fiercely. Luo Yuji and the others waved their soft swords to block part of it, but more wolves flocked to the direction of Yun Shuhua, and when they got closer, Jun Ning felt the fishy hot breath spewing out of the hungry wolf's nose, as well as the sound of "snorting" breathing, the wolf is a very spiritual animal, and in the face of opponents who are stronger than themselves, they will attack it in groups.

Looking at the tacit siege of the wolves, Luo Yuji was anxious, and after killing the hungry wolf in front of him with flying swords, he was ready to raise his sword to help Yun Shuhua. But before he could move, he saw a snow-white flash passing by, and after a few loud "bangs", the wolves had already fallen in large swaths. Everything happened in a flash of light, and he didn't see how Yun Shuhua made a move at all, but the battle was over.

Yun Shuhua was still dressed in white and spotless, three thousand ink hair danced lightly in the wind, Jun Ning was held firmly in his arms, although the wound was split and a lot of blood was shed, but he was not hurt by the wolf to the slightest.

***

It is only ten days from the border of Muguo to Wuzhou. Since repelling the wolves, everyone set off overnight, thinking that they were going to part ways with Yun Shuhua, but unexpectedly, he stayed, still dressed in white like snow, silently riding on a horse, not far away.

Luo Yuji sat in front of her to catch the car, and when she arrived in the territory of Mu Kingdom, the road was much smoother, but occasionally the carriage rolled over the uneven places, and she couldn't help frowning. Along the way, she hid in the carriage and didn't dare to get out, or rather, she just didn't want Yun Shuhua to see herself, because the time she was attacked by the wolves, he seemed to have noticed the clues, and if he saw anything again, I was afraid that her identity would not be able to hide it.

A few days later, when it was almost dusk, they finally arrived at Wuzhou City.

Mu Junning quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the Yun family and the Luo family, one in the north of the city and the other in the south of the city, no matter what, it is impossible for them to walk together on the next road......

Sure enough, after entering the city gate, Yun Shuhua said goodbye and left.

Looking at the white figure leading the horse, slowly walking on the bluestone road, and gradually moving away, Jun Ning couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how did you and Yun Gongzi meet?" "Looking at the scene they get along, they are not strangers, but they are not friends.

"Shuhua and I don't know each other, it's just that I helped him once a few months ago." Luo Yuji held his head with his left hand and recalled, and his right hand tightly pulled the reins on the horse, carefully avoiding pedestrians, "I remember, he asked me to help a woman continue her life......"

That woman, is that her?

Jun Ning was stunned, lifted the curtain, grabbed Luo Yuji with one hand, and said eagerly: "That woman, how is it now?" ”

"Dead." Luo Yuji was startled, raised her eyes to meet her nervous gaze, and said lightly: "Actually, before I rushed to the Yun family, she had already gone, but that Yun Gongzi didn't give up, so he had to pull me to save her, and asked me if I could exchange my life for a life, at that time, I almost thought he was crazy." ”

"That's right, Sister Yunli, I've heard about that incident too." Luo Xuefei was originally sitting inside, listening to them discuss the affairs of the Yun family, and also came out curiously, "Later, Brother Yun buried that sister under the snow maple tree, and also set up a monument, I forgot what was written on it, but it seems to be engraved with the names of two people." ”

Two names? Is it her and Yunnuo?

"It's 'Yun Shuhua' and 'Mu Junning'......" A cold voice sounded from the side, Mu Junning stiffened, slowly turned around, and saw a blue coat leading a horse in front of him, "You, very curious about my business?" ”

"It's not." Jun Ning retorted astringently.

"Actually, if you want to know anything, you can just ask me." Yun Shuhua glanced at her lightly, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, "Don't worry, I will know everything." ”

"You ......"

Before Mu Junning's words could be spoken, Luo Xuefei suddenly rushed to say, "Huh? Isn't that Brother Yun's name? Why do you engrave your name on your tombstone? ”

Yun Shuhua smiled: "I really want to know?" He asked Luo Xuefei, but his gaze fell on her carelessly.

"Yun Gongzi, it's funny." Luo Xuefei still wanted to ask, but Jun Ning covered her mouth and said with a smile: "We are not curious about Childe's affairs, it's just that this is the direction leading to the Luo family in the south of the city, and the Yun family is in the north of the city, did Childe go the wrong way?" ”

"The road south of the city? That's not wrong. Yun Shuhua nodded and smiled: "I suddenly remembered that there was something and was about to go to find the old man of the Luo family, so, Miss Luo, we happened to be on the same road again." ”

His smile was very shallow, Mu Junning's heart was sour, she didn't want to catch such a smile, but she knew that by now, she was no longer qualified, and she didn't dare to catch it......

After all, in addition to him, she also has an older brother, and she can't go back when the choice started four years ago......

Mu Junning smiled bitterly and shook his head, hiding back in the carriage, since it was destined to be fateful, it was better not to see each other.
