Chapter 254: Catching Up
Hearing such a question, Takemoto secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Miss Xin only summoned two dark piles with a jade whistle, and now Li Yuan's life and death are still uncertain. The escort was much younger and thinner than she looked at herself, and the burden of leaving the little girl was all on her alone.
It's not that she's scared.
The big deal is death. Her life was saved by Lord Zuo by luck, and every extra day she lived after that was an extra gift from God, so when God took back this gift, she would not be afraid at all.
But what she was afraid of was that the task on her shoulders had gone wrong, and she watched Miss Xin fall into the tiger's mouth again.
The two of them, if they want to leave this land, as long as they disguise themselves a little, it is not difficult for them to mix up the identity of ordinary people.
But if there is such a white tiger by his side, everything will be difficult to say.
But these thoughts only flashed through her mind.
Xin Zi is the person entrusted by Lord Zuo, and she is just a slave who works for her life to put it bluntly, what qualifications does she have to care about what her master can do?
Thinking of this, Takemoto pursed his lips slightly, and said, "The girl decided for herself, Takemoto didn't dare to go over." ”
Xin Zi lowered her eyelids slightly when she heard this.
That's what Takemoto is rejecting in her way, right?
Xin Zi didn't know how much risk she might encounter when she went out this way, she had just folded a Li Yuan, and now Takemoto was overwhelmed to take care of her safety, not to mention such an eyesore white tiger?
She understands the reason, but she can't leave Yuchen alone.
Ah Brown was suddenly gone, and it took a lot of effort for her to resist the urge to go with him, but when she wanted to leave this place, she found that there were many difficulties, and she had few chips in her hand.
These days, she has not thought about the life and death of Zhao Chengru, the commander of Jinyiwei, the whereabouts of Brother Xing Fu, and the safety of all those who follow Ah Brown. But now she is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect herself, even if she wants to go back to save those people, what can she do to save them? Whether she will be able to save herself is unknown.
She tried not to think about the past of those people, because every time she thought about it, she felt powerless. But the resentment that had accumulated in her chest did not dissipate at all because of her covering her ears and stealing the bell.
So at this moment, Yuchen appeared in front of her, even if reason told her that she should give up this white tiger, she couldn't really ignore it.
Xin Zi made up his mind, and Takemoto naturally would not stop him.
The two of them, two horses and a tiger continued to ride forward in the moonlight.
But after less than two pillars of incense, I heard a noise around the small courtyard that the two of them guarded during the day, a few guards scolded fiercely, and even faintly the crisp sound of hand-to-hand combat.
Yuchen lowered his head and bared his teeth and roared in the direction of the sound.
Xin Zi and Bamboo looked at each other.
The two of them coincidentally thought of an answer - Li Yuan arrived.
"Girl, go and hide in the bushes, and I'll see what's going on over there."
As he spoke, he led the two horses aside, and wanted to reach the white tiger again, but when he reached halfway through his hand, he saw its fangs sticking out into the distance, so he had to retract it in a sneering manner.
When Takemoto settled down and just took a step forward, he was slapped on the shoulder from behind. She subconsciously pulled out the soft sword at her waist and was about to stab back, so shocked that the person behind her retreated twice in a row, and raised his hands high.
"Why is a young girl always murderous. Every time you see me, you have to draw a knife against me? ”
Li Yuan's clear voice came from his ears.
Takemoto's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, his face was full of indignation, but the soft sword in his hand was loosened.
"Why are you here? You weren't responsible for the noise outside the house? Takemoto didn't intend to wait for the other party to answer this question, if Li Yuan really shook his head, she would definitely not believe it.
Li Yuan really raised his eyebrows and looked at the mess in the distance, rubbed his chin and said: "A few little hairy children in the village stole the eggs of the neighbors, I just made a favor for those innocent villagers who were stolen, and attracted a small favor from the guards around the yard." ”
Takemoto squinted at him, believing that such a small trick Li Yuan had done it.
"Li Yuan!"
Xin Zi couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
Li Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard the sound, thinking that he would still be welcomed when he came back, and he turned around and saluted respectfully.
"Aunt Xin...... Oh-"
Turning around, he didn't see Xin Zi's amazing face, but he met the fierce gaze of a white giant beast, Li Yuan was so shocked that his feet flicked, and he jumped back a few steps in a row, and the three slender fingers of his right hand were vigilantly inserted into his belt.
Seeing this, Takemoto's eyes were full of disdain and disdain.
How can such a person have the same identity and accusations as himself? This is simply an insult to Lord Zuo and to himself.
No matter what danger they encounter, the people who are planted in the city of Tokyo with even more rigorous methods than the dead soldiers should be the best warriors in a hundred. Not to mention that he is not afraid of death, at least he should not be as timid as a mouse, and he will only instinctively think about escaping for the first time when he encounters anything like this.
Xin Zi naturally didn't notice the change in Takemoto's expression, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yuchen and introduce the new members of the team to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was far less worried about Takemoto in the face of such a huge white tiger, and he didn't even see the slightest concern like Xin Zi, but raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly: "Great, so we have three mounts, which is solving the problem of accidentally losing my horse on the way out of Tokyo City." ”
Hearing this, Takemoto glanced at Li Yuan, and he didn't understand what this handsome man was thinking: On the way out of Tokyo City, shouldn't he think about how to save his life? How can you be bothered by such an insignificant thing as losing a horse?
When Xin Zi heard this, it was the first time that she smiled slightly, and the smile bloomed slightly on her thin face like a water lotus in the morning.
She knew that with Li Yuan's cleverness, it was impossible not to think of Takemoto's concerns, but he didn't ask anything, but put on such an indifferent posture, just because he didn't want to let himself have too much psychological burden.
So her smile was more full of gratitude.
This was the first time Li Yuan had seen Xin Zi's appearance, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Except for the fact that he glanced at Xin Zi twice as Tang Yinzhong was doing things, knowing that Xin Zi had extraordinary beauty, the first time Li Yuan looked at Xin Zi carefully was after hearing the whistle in the Tang Mansion. But at that time, Xin Zi was haggard, shrouded in pain and anxiety, far less moving than at this moment. (To be continued.) )
